The Concubine's Frivolous Daughter: Nine Thousand Years Old with a Monster

Chapter 42 The Strange Shangguan Ye

A burst of applause came from outside the courtyard, startling Ziya and Yan Ning who were still in tears, and also startling Yucixin who had just finished playing a song.

"Originally this piano was intended to be kept for you as a display, but I never thought that the princess is so good at playing the piano, and let me enjoy a wonderful performance outside." Shangguan Ye walked over, and today he seems to be Not as cold as before, but with rare gentleness in his eyes.

Yu Cixin felt strange about Shangguan Ye's attitude. She didn't understand why the usually cold man suddenly seemed to have changed his temper.On the contrary, Zi Ya and Yan Ning quickly wiped away their tears, and saluted Shangguan Ye.

Shangguan Ye's gaze shifted to Yan Ning, who was beside him, and asked inquiringly: "This is the woman you brought back from Yihong Courtyard yesterday? If you are short of maidservants, just send someone out to buy a few, why bother?" Falling in love with someone else's oiran and setting fire to someone else's property? Do you know who is behind the Yihong Courtyard?"

"So what?" Yu Cixin didn't care who was behind the scenes of Yihong Courtyard. She looked at Shangguan Ye who suddenly became talkative, and felt that something was getting worse and worse. He seemed to have changed today. one person.

Yu Ci frowned heartily: "Shangguan Ye, you are so strange today."

"Why is it so strange?" Shangguan Ye approached Yu Cixin step by step, and didn't stop until the distance between him and her was less than half a foot, "You are now the wife I am marrying, so I should care about you for my husband. What's so strange?"

He looked down at her directly, and could even feel her shallow breathing. Suddenly, an unknown emotion appeared in his eyes, and his evil face kept approaching her.

What!For husband?

Facing the handsome face that was getting closer and closer, Yuci's eyes widened, a little astonished by Shangguan Ye's words.

The two maids beside her had already run away with grease on their feet, leaving only Shangguan Ye and Yu Cixin here.Now that their distance is so close, Yuci feels a little uncomfortable and wants to stay away from the person in front of him.

Really, what is Shangguan Ye doing!

Suddenly, Yu Cixin was suddenly embraced by Shangguan Ye. She instinctively refused, but was hugged tighter and tighter.

"Don't move! I'll just hug you for a while." The gentle voice came from the ear, as if with magic power, which made Yuci's heart stop struggling in an instant.

She put down her hands helplessly, and the body held by Shangguan Ye was a little stiff. After a long time, she felt the relaxation of his arms and gently pushed him away.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Shangguan Ye shook his head. He just heard the story told by Yu Cixin before. In the story, the man and woman who lived and died together reminded him of his parents, and he felt a little uncomfortable emotionally.

"Did Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really turn into butterflies in the end?" Is there really such a mysterious ending in this world?He couldn't believe it.

"It's just a legend. I'm not a person who lived in their time, so I don't know what the final outcome is, but it seems to be a tragedy. Maybe it's people's hope, and they don't want to part with two people who love each other. Make up a poignant but touching ending." Yu Ci didn't know why Shangguan Ye asked such a question, but she patiently explained it.

In fact, she doesn't believe that there is a legend about the butterfly. People's imagination is infinite, and they often add imaginative embellishments to the beauty that they don't get, and then form touching stories one by one.

"So that's the case." Shangguan Ye nodded with a grin, then glanced at Yu Cixin, and said softly: "The song is very nice, but it's too sad. Let's play some more pleasant songs in the future."

After speaking, without waiting for Yu Cixin to reply, he strode away.

When Shangguan Ye returned to the study, Yuan Qi followed in from the outside and reported the news he had heard to his master one by one.

"Master, my subordinates have found out the power behind Yihong Courtyard. It was opened by Mrs. Du Juan, the concubine of Prince Pingchuan, but she was not in charge of it, but was handed over to her distant cousin. The manager named Yueer who is locked in the prison." Yuan Qi said, looked up at Shangguan Ye and continued: "The subordinates also found out that Yueer had close contacts with the governor of Xiangzhou and the prefect of Liuzhou in recent years. , The specific reason has not been found out yet. However, the Liuzhou prefect is a person who is loyal to Prince Pingchuan, and he still has private soldiers under him. The relationship between them should not be simple. The maid brought back by the princess yesterday seems to be related to this Several people are involved, but no news can be found.”

"Then continue to investigate. Especially those related to the Pingchuan Palace, everything must be investigated!" Different from the gentleness in front of Yu Cixin before, Shangguan Ye's eyes were cold at this time. Crazy hate.

"Yes." Yuan Qi took the order respectfully. He has been with the master since he was a child, and he knows everything about the master very well, but there are some things he can't understand, so he asked: "Master, since the princess is the daughter of Prince Pingchuan , and is deeply loved by the emperor, why did you marry her? Yuan Qi has never understood why you often send Yuan Qi to give gifts to the princess, and you also saved her from falling into the lake that day, and today you are so ambiguous It's not close to her."

"Because of this, I have to be nice to her. The worse her relationship with Yu Zhentian is, the better it is for me. You don't understand some things, you just need to know that I know what I'm doing. Alright. Alright, you step back." Shangguan Ye didn't bother to explain so much to him, as long as he knew his intentions, there was no need to tell everyone.

"Yes, this subordinate has resigned." Knowing that his master had his own considerations, Yuan Qi stopped asking, and retreated respectfully.

After Yuan Qi left, Shangguan Ye was the only one left in the study. He walked to a row of bookshelves full of books, stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on a thumb-sized wooden knob on the side of the bookshelf, and the bookshelf shifted instantly. A long and narrow passage was revealed.

After Shangguan Ye walked into the passage, the bookshelf outside moved back to its original position.

This passage is surrounded by flat stone walls, and there are many candles lit on the walls, illuminating the originally dark surroundings.

At the end of the passage is a stone door. Shangguan Ye pressed a switch on the side of the stone door, and the door was opened. He walked in, and what he saw were rows of neatly arranged tablets and clusters of burning white candles. .

Two of those tablets were covered with red silk cloth. Looking carefully, they seemed to be the two tablets placed in the high hall when He Yucixin worshiped and got married that day.

Shangguan Ye knelt on the futon in front of the tablet, respectfully kowtowed a few times and got up: "Father, mother, uncles and elders, my son is not filial, so I came to see you. Don't worry, my son has been planning for more than ten years, and I will do it for you." The day of revenge is not far away, please wait patiently, in the future, the child will definitely send the head of the enemy to you to comfort your spirits in heaven."

On the other side, Yu Ci watched Shangguan Ye leave in a daze, and opened his mouth, wanting to stop him and ask what he meant just now?Does it depend on his preferences as to what music she plays?

After rolling her eyes at Guan Ye's back, Yuci pursed her lips, carried the Qin into the room and put it on the piano table, then turned around and lay down on the bed, tossed and turned several times, not knowing what she was thinking.
