Taohuaxi

Chapter 35 Feng Gao’s back-up plan

A candlelight in the secret room licked the bloody wind.

Feng Gao said to me: "Sister, please go back. I will leave here soon."

He said it so firmly.

It seemed that everything was planned by him.Including his arrest.

At this point, I didn't take his words seriously.

Thinking, he was just comforting me.

I took out the prepared golden sore medicine from my bag and applied it carefully on him.

"Does it hurt?"

He shook his head and closed his eyes like a kitten, not daring to open them.Both satisfied and timid.It seems that this tenderness is extremely difficult, extremely unreal, and will disappear at any time.

The jailer outside urged.

I left the golden sore medicine and left slowly.

When I walked out the door, he called me: "Sister——"

I turn my head.

He hesitated and said, "Sister, will you be happy only if you are with Cheng Huaishi?"

One sentence, like a dense needle, pierced into my heart.

I don't know why he suddenly asked this question, and I don't know how to answer it.

The jailer slammed the door.

I watched him lower his head thoughtfully.

"I am a person without roots. I shouldn't have extravagant thoughts. I should make my sister happy. My sister is such a good woman."

It was noon when I walked out of Dali Temple.When the sun is at its strongest.

I looked up at the sky and cried.

There is no cloud in the blue sky.The sun hung motionless overhead, scorching everything.

Bean sprouts, am I happy?
When will my sister get it?

Back to the mansion, I went to the old lady in the main courtyard.

The old lady's condition has improved slightly. She is leaning on the recliner. The third lady is feeding her papaya water and drinking it.

I got up early and went to the kitchen to stew some fruit juice for the old lady, which is good for the stomach and intestines.

Let's do it in a different way.So that the old lady will not eat the food.

When the old lady saw me, she said affectionately: "Sang Yu, please sit in front of me."

I sat over and she stroked my hand and said, "In a few days, when I feel better, we and I will go to Yunju Temple to offer incense. I heard people say that there is a Bodhisattva spirit there. Please bless you. Conceive Lin'er as soon as possible so that the Cheng family can have a heir."

I whispered: "Mother, Second Master, he and I..."

The old lady smiled and said: "Huai'er is a little busy. But he must have you in his heart. How can a young couple not be enthusiastic? When you give birth to a child, he will naturally cherish you."

The third lady on the side said: "Mom, my second brother has been so shameless these days. How dare I hide my love from you? I got up last night and couldn't sleep. I walked in the yard and saw him running out in the middle of the night! Today! He got up early and just came back. Before the stool was warm, he ran out again! I heard that he was trying to find some noon flowers, clover, and tallow root. Miss Xun was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he ran away Faster than a rabbit!"

"Oh? Is this true?" The old lady sat up.

The third young lady said: "That's right! I heard what my sister-in-law said. She said that maybe after Miss Xun recovers from her injury, she will come into our house and become an equal wife! Mother, listen, this is What are you talking about? She is an equal wife, so where can I put my second sister-in-law’s face? In my opinion, Miss Xun is a disaster. From the past to the present, how many things have happened when my second brother is with her! "

The old lady dropped the soup bowl on the ground and trembled.

"Let me see who dares to let her in! Huai'er almost risked his life for her family, and you're not satisfied? I've long had a bad opinion of her. She fights fiercely with the scholars all day long. How can she not get into trouble?"

A boy said: "Old madam, I heard that Miss Xun saved our second master this time."

The old lady said: "Huai'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has great skills. Why should she be saved? She is obviously a young woman with a heart, and she is putting on a show to seduce my son! Huai'er has just been promoted. If he decides to stop his wife and remarry, His reputation was completely ruined. But what do his colleagues think of him? Don't you think that in the book, Li Qiyun, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty, wore Wei's crown as a courtesy, and people ridiculed him! It has become a stain for life! "

After everyone heard this, they didn't dare to say anything.

The old lady turned around and ordered the maid: "Go! Call the second master back!"

The maid asked: "What if... what if the second master doesn't want to come back?"

"Just say that his mother is dead! Let him come back for the funeral!" the old lady said angrily.

Miss Third and I hurriedly said, "Mom, please don't say such unlucky words."

The old lady slowly calmed down, but she was afraid that I would be upset, so she took the third lady and me to play together.

After about two cups of tea, Cheng Huaishi came back. He was sweating from running and called: "Mother! Mother!"

After entering the house, he saw the old lady sitting upright and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, you are fine, but my son is frightened."

The old lady said slowly: "I will be fighting with your wife and sister for a while. You can discuss with others about marrying an equal wife."

Cheng Huaishi said hurriedly: "Where did mother hear such invisible words? I have never thought so."

The old lady put down the chess piece in her hand, pointed at the portrait of the master on the wall, and said sternly: "Then you will swear to your father today that you will never marry her!"

Cheng Huaishi said: "Mother, why are you bothering? I don't think so at all." "The less I think so, the more I should swear uprightly so as to silence others."

When Cheng Huaishi saw the old lady's insistence, he had no choice but to kneel on the ground and swear an oath as promised.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hands: "You two, please go back to your room. Give me a grandchild sooner or later. I will be happy when I get to Jiuquan."

Cheng Huai came back to the east courtyard with me.

He has become thinner and thinner these days.

I couldn't sleep for two days and two nights, and my eyes were all red.

He sat at the desk, wrote a few lines, then returned to the bedroom, fell on the couch, and fell asleep with the pillow on his face.

I walked to the desk and read the poem he wrote: My heart is as bright as the bright moon, but the moon waxes and wanes.It is difficult to make decisions with self-discipline in life, and I don’t want to mislead the country and my dear friends.

His sleeping face was still clear and clear.

I don’t want to mislead the country and my dear.

He always wants to be his ideal person.

There was a faint noise outside the courtyard wall.

I left the east courtyard and arrived in front of the court. I saw the eldest mistress coming back from outside with a pale face.

The eldest young master Cheng Cang stomped his feet back and forth: "What should we do! What should we do!"

The eldest mistress said: "Don't mess up the situation first! Even if Mr. Liu is unlucky, we will not be implicated anyway! We don't even know about the poisoning, so we are very afraid!"

"But we have received so many benefits from Mr. Liu. What will we do without him in the future?"

"Fortunately, I had already planned it. How can I pray to a family when worshiping Buddha? Mr. Mu Linmu, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, is coming up. I gave his wife a box of pearls a few days ago, and we started to build friendship. It's flowing. Monk, the temple is made of iron. You still need to be more discerning in life." The eldest young lady calmed down.

The couple returned to Nanyuan.

The servants were all talking about it.

The news from outside flew all over the capital as if it had wings.

The "Poisoning Case of Hu Ren's Royal Physician" took a big turn overnight.

It is said that at Shenshi today, Altai, the Hu people's imperial physician, died in prison.Mu Lin, the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei, suddenly discovered several unknown corpses in the back garden of his colleague Liu Shou, and the stench was overwhelming.Mullin quickly reported the matter.

Immediately afterwards, Altai's family members were frightened and went to Dali Temple to complain with the blood letter left by Altai.

The blood letter said that Liu Shou ordered him to poison him and then framed him for the crime to the owner of Dongchang.They put on a show just to exclude dissenters so that they can monopolize power and cover the sky with one hand.

Altai's family members knelt on their heads and bled, crying that Liu Shou had threatened their family's lives to let Altai bite Feng Gao, but later turned against him and wanted to kill him to silence him.They had no choice but to tell the truth.

The Minister of Dali Temple presented the evidence to Lord Long Live.

Long live the Lord called Mr. Zhang to come and negotiate.

Not long after, a government order was issued: Feng Gao was pardoned and Liu Shou was granted death.

My heart was in my throat.

After thinking about it over and over again, I finally understood what Feng Gao meant by "backhand".

Every step was shocking and meticulous, including Altai's confession, all planned by him.

Completely eliminate Liu Shou in one fell swoop and regain Lord Long Live's trust.

I am afraid that in this game within a game, the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mullin, also plays an important role.As the saying goes, if there is no benefit, don’t start early.

Dusk gradually puts away the long thread of sadness.

The black night opened his pupils.

As if I had an intuition, I walked to the narrow alley of Kai On Street.Sure enough, he saw Feng Gao standing in the alley wearing a bright red gold silk official robe.

He looked at me: "Sister, I'm out."

Well, he narrowly escaped death and came out.

"I heard that the Long Live Lord gave you a gold silk robe as a comfort. He also promoted you to the position of chief ceremonial officer."

"It doesn't matter what official position or official robe you have. The important thing is to let those people know the rules. No matter who you are, if you offend me, there is only one word, death."

When he spoke the word "death", there was always a gloomy sense of joy.

He won this bloody power struggle.

"Jinyiwei is the dog of Dongchang. I have to let them learn how to be a dog." He narrowed his eyes.

"Long live Lord, don't you have any doubts?"

He smiled softly: "Sister, Long Live Lord, today, everyone is invited to go to the leopard room to watch a fight. A group of leopards bite you to death, and only one is left. Long Live Lord has made that leopard the Royal Leopard. He doesn't He will prefer any leopard. He will only use the one that wins in the end. The rest cannot be competed with, so they are useless."

Thinking about that scene is terrifying.

I suddenly felt a little distressed: "Douya, how many fights have you experienced?"

He whispered: "Sister, I will always win. When I was a child, in Dongchang Mansion, when I saw you being beaten for me, I made up my mind. In this life, I, Feng Gao, can only win, not lose."
