my wishful wolf

Chapter 122 Unexpected and confusing

Separate the eight top yang bones and pour a bucket of ice and snow water.Stiff from head to toe.The wind blowing from the roof is the chill of Qingxue, blowing towards the face one after another, like Ling Chi.

Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, then tremblingly said: "Lady, I...I'll call Lord Hou." Yue'e said: "No!" Her hands trembled slightly, and the wishful knot in her hand fell to her feet and rolled up the steps. After rolling a few times, it landed on the edge of the steps, a little bit of happy red turned into cold blood, shivering at the other end, not daring to see anyone.

Xiaokui didn't notice it, she just looked anxiously at Jing'an over there, but Yue'e saw it, but so what, she was only a few steps away, but she had no intention of picking it up anymore.

Xiaokui looked at the tears in her eyes, and shouted in horror: "My lady!" Yue'e raised her head, took Xiaokui's hand, and said with a smile: "Sorry, come again some other day, let's go." She lowered her head and turned around, Retreat toward the Bodhisattva Hall.Xiaokui looked back at the two people under the bodhi tree, frowned slightly, and turned to chase after her.

Yue'e went back with Xiaokui, and happened to meet Mrs. Xie's maid who said that Mrs. Xie had woken up and sent someone to see if Yue'e had rested.

At that moment, Yue'e and Xiaokui went to see Mrs. Xie, and when they walked outside, they heard a faint voice from inside: "Is it really Jing'an?" " Mrs. Xie said: "Why did he come here for no reason?" Sister Ying said: "Could it be that he knew we were coming, so he came to visit..." Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "He has such filial piety, and he called me Look, I'm afraid it's the reluctant Yueniang who is the real one."

Saying that, the servant girl opened the curtain, and Yue'e went in, Madam Xie said: "I mean you will be here." Yue'e bowed, Madam Xie said: "We were talking just now, it seems that we saw Jing'an coming, Could it be that I went to look for you?" Yue'e shook her head and said, "I have never seen Lord Hou." Mrs. Xie was startled, looked at Sister Ying, and said, "How could this be? Oh... I see, Xu is here to investigate case." Yue'e said quietly, "Maybe it is."

Just as she was talking, an aunt came in outside to serve the fragrant tea. Mrs. Xie drank it and said, "I'm going back in a while, drink tea to warm up, otherwise it will be cold on the road." Yue'e drank it too.

The two of them had a sip of tea, and another aunt who was in charge came and said some flattering words, Madam Xie dealt with it casually, and finally asked: "Is there anything going on in the nunnery recently?" , nothing else."

Mrs. Xie was slightly surprised, she frowned and thought for a while, but Sister Ying said: "Madam, I just remembered that Miss Jing Yuan also became a monk here? It's hard for Master Hou, he came here..." Mrs. Xie lightly With a light cough, Sister Ying stopped talking.

Yue'e's heart trembled, but she remained silent.Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, and said: "I'm so old-fashioned, I forgot about this matter... well, it's just a personal fate, there's nothing you can do about it, let them... it's time, we also Time to go back."

At that moment Madam Xie stood up, shook Yue'e's hand, the two went out, the nuns of Baiyi nunnery lined up to see each other off, got on the sedan chair, and went back to Xie's mansion.

After returning to Xie's mansion, it was late noon, the sun was dim, Xiaokui helped Yue'e back to the east courtyard, and after entering the house, she felt warm. Yue'e leaned against the bed and thought for a while, but kept silent.Xiaokui stood for a while, finally couldn't help it, and said: "My lady, don't think too much, this must not be what my lady saw."

Yue'e raised her head in a daze when she heard the words, and said, "What did you say?" Xiao Kui said, "Master Hou is devoted to his wife, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter."

Yue'e smiled and said: "What misunderstanding?" Xiaokui said: "Miss Jing Yuan is not what the lady thinks. I heard from the elder brother who is close to Master Hou that what people outside said is not true. The loss of virginity and miscarriage was not done by Lord Hou..." At this point, she suddenly kept her mouth shut, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, and looked at Yue'e.

Yue'e said: "So that's how it is. Guai Dao will see you today, um..." Xiaokui hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your servant is talking too much, lady, please forgive me."

Yue'e looked at Xiaokui, smiled for a moment and said, "Get up quickly, I didn't say anything, but you are in a hurry. Get up quickly, or I will be really annoyed."

Xiaokui got up hesitantly, Yue'e smiled again, her face remained normal, and said: "Forget it, it's nothing... I'm just a little tired, I need to rest for a while, I won't have dinner, and don't call me." Xiaokui looked at her There was nothing strange about it, but for some reason, he felt terrified, but he had no choice but to agree.

As soon as Yue'e woke up at night, she vaguely heard someone come in and said, "Why did you sleep?" It was Jing An's voice.Yue'e's heart moved, and she heard Xiaokui say: "My lady came back from worshiping Buddha today, and she was sleepy, and she didn't even eat dinner." Jing'an said, "Why is this? Could it be that you are tired?" Xiaokui said: "Master Hou ..." He hesitated to speak.

Yue'e moved, Jing An said: "Yue'er is awake?" He turned his hand to help Yue'e get up.

Seeing that Yue'e had woken up, Xiaokui withdrew.Jing An hugged Yue'e, and asked with concern: "Why is it uncomfortable?" Yue'e said: "It's nothing, just a little dizzy." Jing An said: "Caught a cold? Or tired?" Yue'e said: "It's nothing, what's the matter?" Just take a rest." Jing An said: "Really? I think it's better to find a doctor to take a look." Yue'e shook her head and said, "It's really not necessary. Hou Ye, you should go back earlier."

Seeing her chasing people away, Jing An said: "I just came here, so I'd like to spend more time with you." Yue'e stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, and said: "I'm tired in heart, Master Hou told me to be alone." Jing An After looking at it carefully, she said for a moment: "You seem to have something wrong." Yue'e shook her head and smiled, and said, "Where is it? Master Hou is overthinking, just ask you to tell me to rest for a while, I am really tired."

Jing An thought for a while, and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll be back in a moment, and you sleep for a while." Yue'e didn't say much to him, she still lay down, Jing An pulled up the quilt for her, and carefully Cover it.

Jing An saw that Yue'e didn't move after lying down, he sat on the edge of the bed, watched for half an hour, finally got up to go out, saw Xiao Kui at the door, and said calmly: "Is there nothing else going on today? "Xiaokui glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, my lady has been to Baiyi Nunnery today." Jing An lowered his eyes, not surprised, and said, "Oh?" Said: "I wanted to make a wish, the words are all written..."

Jing An was slightly startled, and said: "What characters?" Xiao Kui said: "The characters written in the Bodhisattva Hall have not had time to be hung on the Bodhi tree."

Jing An's eyes moved, then he looked at Xiao Kui, and said: "Where is it now?" Xiao Kui said: "I keep it myself, the lady doesn't know, maybe the lady takes it."

Jing An thought for a while, and said: "I see." Xiaokui glanced at Jing An, and wanted to say something, Jing An said: "Serve your wife well." Turned around and went out.

The next day Jing An came back early, because it was still early and Yue'e hadn't gotten up yet, knowing that Jing An came, she reluctantly leaned against the bed, but was still lazy and indifferent, Jing An held her hand and greeted her with care. After a while, I went out for the morning.

Here, Yue'e couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up, put on her clothes, read a few books, but couldn't read them all, and went out, only to feel the coolness rushing towards her face, a thin layer of snow just fell last night, the yard There are only two lines of footprints in the white and hazy, which are left by Jing'an's coming and going.

Yue'e stared blankly at the two rows of shallow footprints, and leaned against the pillar for a while, turning around a thousand times, not knowing what to think.

That day, Jing An hadn't returned from the court earlier, but a news came to the mansion, saying that someone assassinated Uncle An Guo on the spot when he came down to court, and the assassin was arrested on the spot.

Until noon, Jing An still hadn't returned, Xiao Kui went out to explore for a while, came back and hurriedly said: "Miss, I heard that things are not good, Master Hou was actually imprisoned by the punishment department."

Yue'e was startled, and said: "What's going on?" Xiaokui said: "I don't know, I just heard people outside talking about it."

Yue'e thought for a while, then went to see Mrs. Xie, but saw that Mrs. Xie was also in doubt. When the two met, Mrs. Xie comforted Yue'e and said: "Don't be surprised, there must be something inside this matter, I will call immediately." Let me go out and find out, and see that Dong Yan is coming back soon, if he comes back, he will know."

Unexpectedly, from noon to evening, neither Jing An nor Dong Yan came back.The person Mrs. Xie sent out to inquire came back and said: "I heard that someone rushed out when Uncle An Guo was returning home and hacked him to death in the sedan chair, but... I heard that the assassin was the commander of Jiucheng. subordinate."

Mrs. Xie and Yue'e were both shocked.In an instant, the people following Dong Yan also came back and said: "The Eldest Young Master asked the villain to come back and report to Madam, please don't worry, Madam, we will talk about everything in detail after Eldest Young Master returns."

Mrs. Xie beat her hands and said, "How can I not be worried? What is going on here? How could Jing An's subordinates do such lawless things. Uncle Anguo's side has calmed down."

Not to mention that people in Xie's mansion were like ants on a hot pot, they were uneasy, at night, as expected, Dong Yan came back, Mrs. Xie hurriedly asked him to come in, Dong Yan entered, and seeing Yue'e was there, she rushed to salute without looking at her , said: "Mother." Mrs. Xie said: "Dong Yan, what is going on, tell me quickly, why Jing'an has not returned yet?"

Dong Yan stood on his feet and said, "Mother Rong, this matter is really troublesome."

Mrs. Xie said, "What kind of trouble is it?"

Dong Yan said: "Mother, just because the man committed the crime in the downtown area, many people watched him, and after he was taken down on the spot, he actually confirmed that he was indeed a subordinate of Jiucheng. It's no wonder that Jing'an was accused of lax discipline at most, but the man insisted that it was Jing'an's instruction, because Uncle An...he was rude to Lord Hou's concubine, so he wanted to do this. As a result, the Empress refused to comply, and the Holy Majesty was furious, and ordered Jing An to be detained."

Mrs. Xie heard this, trembling all over, said: "How could this be, how could this be! Jing An, did he really do such a deceitful thing?"

Dong Yan frowned and said: "Mother, although Jing An is messing around, he blatantly kills the court ministers... It doesn't seem like he can do it, so the court officials are also divided into two factions, and the disputes are endless. Now the Holy Majesty can't do it, just let us Dali Temple be the same The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will jointly examine this matter, and we must investigate to get to the bottom of it, so it is clear."

Madam Xie calmed down after hearing this, and asked again: "Then why can't Jing An come back?"

Dong Yan said: "Just because there are people killing people in the downtown area, and the deceased is a minister, the government and the public know about it. 'The Son of Heaven breaks the law and the common people are the same crime'. In order to prevent the ignorant people from thinking that the officials in the court are protecting each other and breaking the law for personal gain, we have to leave Jing'an in the Ministry of Justice for a while. Night."

Mrs. Xie calmed down at this moment, and said after hearing the words: "That's all, Jing'an's temper, he needs to be tempered. However, he is in the punishment department, no one will use torture or something like that?"

Dong Yan shook his head and said: "It hasn't been interrogated yet, so naturally no one will use torture. Don't worry, mother."

Mrs. Xie sighed, then pretended to wipe her tears again, and said, "Why doesn't he always reassure me?"

Dong Yan comforted and said: "Mother, don't worry, if this matter has nothing to do with Jing An, she will come back safely." Mrs. Xie was startled when she heard the words, and said hesitantly: "Then if this matter has nothing to do with Jing An... Does it matter?"

Dong Yan looked indifferent, and said: "If this is really the case, then I will be the first to spare him." Mrs. Xie's body shook, she shed tears, and said: "Dong Yan, you are brothers, no matter what, you have to save him." Just save Jing'an."

Dong Yan's expression didn't change, but he just said: "Mother, I just said that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If this is really what Jing'an did, you don't have to feel sad for him. My Xie family is not like this. An undisciplined child—he deserves what he deserves.”

After finishing speaking, his eyes drooped for a moment, and he glanced slightly at Yue'e next to him.

That's all for explaining, Dong Yan comforted Mrs. Xie a few more words, and then went out.Yue'e also said a few words, and seeing Mrs. Xie's sad description, as if she couldn't bear it, she just said goodbye and went outside with Xiaokui, but outside the big house, under the eaves, standing The towering figure was none other than Dongyan.

Yue'e stopped walking, and then she continued to move forward. She was about to pass Dong Yan's side, then she stopped for a salute, then turned her head and walked away again.Unexpectedly, Dong Yan said: "Aren't you worried about what happened to him?"

Yue'e turned her head when she heard the words, and looked at Dongyan.
