Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 92

The night was getting darker, the trees were rustling, and the general's mansion was silent.

Lu Yayu heard that song again in her sleep, it was unrestrained, clear and deep.

"When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking today and ask. People can't get the bright moon, but the moon walks with people."

Her consciousness was still in a dream, so she could only vaguely hear the following sentences:

"People today don't see the moon in ancient times, but this moon once shone on the ancients... I only hope that when the song is paired with the wine, the moonlight will always shine in the golden cup."

At the end of the last sentence, she woke up suddenly. After a moment of absence, she took the coat and put it on her body, and walked helplessly to the backyard.

On the boulder beside the lotus pond, the man in white was lying drunk on it with a wine pot in his hand. His loose robe was bulging by the wind, like a crane about to fly in the wind.

He hiccupped, laughed, and began to repeat the poem just now: "People today don't see the moon in ancient times, but this moon once shone on the ancients. The ancients are like flowing water, and the moon is like this..."

Lu Yayu is no stranger to it, Zhuo Ding'an is like this every night, once drunk, he starts singing to his heart's content, no longer caring about waking others up.

She shook her head helplessly. Since the battle-tested and steady General Huaiyuan returned to the capital, he could no longer maintain his former composure. It seemed that he had returned to the time when he first went to Western Xinjiang 15 years ago. He is like a walking corpse all day long, but at night after being drunk, he starts to go crazy with alcohol, turning his sorrow into singing that disturbs people's dreams.

... The General's Mansion in the capital had been empty before, but now they finally gained popularity because of their return to the capital, and the servants were invited in.

But in less than two months, some people in the mansion have already started whispering, saying that General Dingyuan was a madman, and he must have killed too much on the battlefield, so he brought in dirty things. Just possessed... Seeing that this month has just started, quite a few timid servants have voluntarily resigned.

Lu Yayu watched him sing to the moon like a lunatic, and knew in her heart that he was returning to the old place, and the scar on her heart that had healed with difficulty opened again.

She walked along the winding stone path to the lotus pond, walked all the way to the boulder, and when Zhuo Ding'an repeated the poem again, she interrupted him slowly: "The general is so high up and down over and over again." Singing Taibai's poems must be because of his admiration. Since you admire Taibai, you should know that he not only wrote this song "Ask the Moon with Wine", but also once said a word in another poem - dare not speak loudly , to frighten the heavenly beings."

The person on the boulder slowly turned his head to look at her, his cheeks were abnormally red, and there seemed to be mist in his eyes, not very clear, but as bright as a sunburst.

Seeing his drunken appearance, Lu Yayu sighed: "Ding'an, according to your singing style, even the heavenly beings would be awakened by you, let alone the people in the house?"

Zhuo Ding'an was amused by her, and he laughed out loud while lying on the boulder, drunkenly reciting the phrase "Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings", unexpectedly loosened his hand, and the wine jug ran along the edge of the stone Gulu Gulu ran into the water.

He subconsciously turned over to fish, but he was so drunk that he fell into the air as soon as he turned over, and fell obliquely towards the pool.

There was a plop, and water splashed everywhere.

Lu Yayu stared dumbfounded at the great general who was outstanding in martial arts and just fell into the lotus pond along with the flagon.

"I told you I don't need to see a doctor. It's just a cold. You'll be fine after taking two doses of medicine. Why do you have to go..." With a strong nasal voice, Zhuo Dingyuan frowned and was forced to follow the people beside him. Go to the most prestigious Huichun Hall in the capital.

Lu Yayu glanced at him with a half-smile, and gently curled the corners of her lips: "Who said you went to cure the cold?" She pointed to her head, "I want you to cure here."

Zhuo Dingyuan shook his head helplessly, and smiled... Now the only time he can have a moment of peace is when he talks to Lu Yayu.

He subconsciously pressed his chest, but suddenly remembered that the letter was wet when it fell into the water the day before yesterday, and the handwriting was all blurred into a mass of black ink stains.

After he got up from the water, his first reaction was to take it out in a panic, but it was too late, too late.

All her handwriting turned into dense ink, and she could no longer see those fists and fists clearly.

Well, it was God's will that he should have nothing to do with her.

However, the road to Huichun Hall turned out to be the one he took when he met the eldest princess on the bank of the Mo River last time. Zhuo Dingyuan felt that this must be a joke, because when he was talking to Lu Yayu, he suddenly found the road ahead. There is a man standing under the willow tree.

If it wasn't his longing for illness, it must be his madness.

Walked here twice, met that person at the same place both times, is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Of course not.

If the eldest princess hadn't come to the place where she met last time and stood there stupidly, how could such a coincidence happen?

Under the brushing of the willows, the eldest princess looked at the pair of Bi people without blinking. The man was handsome and upright, and the woman was beautiful.

That day and Zhuo Ding'an broke up unhappy, she walked resolutely, but as soon as she left, she regretted it.

She waited for 15 years, and when he returned to Beijing, did she just want to meet him, and then say something to him that she would never see again?
She began to come and stand here every day, thinking that maybe one day he would pass by here again... She was pitifully stupid and persistent.

Who would have expected her to meet today.

It's a pity that he is not alone, and his wife is still standing beside him.

Zhuo Ding'an's footsteps froze and stopped in place, unable to move anymore.

Lu Yayu noticed something was wrong, she turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?"

He didn't speak, but stared straight ahead, so she also looked over, and also saw the woman under the willow tree.

Looking at the eldest princess, and then at Zhuo Ding'an beside him, someone sighed softly.

The sky is big and the earth is big, but these two people only have each other in their eyes, nothing else.

Lu Yayu guessed who this person was almost instantly... Zhuo Ding'an's old lover, the eldest sister of the current emperor, Princess Huanyang.

She hesitated for a moment, then said softly to Zhuo Ding'an: "I'll go to Huichun Hall first, you just come and find me later."

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Zhuo Ding'an suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a steady voice: "What are you going to do without me? Let's go together."

His face was stable as usual, and even his eyes were calm, but Lu Yayu felt his violently fluctuating mood from the trembling hand he held her tightly.

This general who is as resolute and brave as a Rakshasa on the battlefield will only become so fragile when it comes to the matter of the eldest princess.

He is afraid and struggling.

The Eldest Princess in that room naturally also saw Zhuo Ding'an's movements, her eyes moved, but there was no other reaction.

Lu Yayu sighed, and had no choice but to give up the thought of leaving him behind, and bit by bit he broke away from his hand that was holding her: "Okay, don't go, don't go... With this little promise, it's worth your heart to say that you want to go away." Try to pinch my hand off."

She took Zhuo Ding'an forward, but every time she took a step forward, she could feel his stiff posture from the corner of her eye.

Finally walking in front of the eldest princess, Zhuo Ding'an's heart could hardly stop.

He was so close to her, so close that he only needed to take a few more steps to pull her into his arms.

But he can't.

Miraculously, the eldest princess did not get angry when she saw this pair of Bi people. Instead, she smiled slightly, as if she was relieved, looked at him tenderly, and shouted: "Ding'an."

Zhuo Ding'an was nailed in place by this title that was so familiar that it had already been engraved into his soul.

Three points into the bone, the mind is stirring.

But at the next moment, the woman smiled lightly and said to him: "You are a good match, so I am satisfied."

She said they were a good match, and she said she was content.

Zhuo Ding'an was astonished as if he had never known her before.

This is not the eldest princess, not the willful and self-willed girl in the past.Because if it was her in the past, she would definitely come up to beat him and scold him, hysterically accusing him of failing her.

But today's Gu Huanyang just smiled lightly like a flower, and said to him gently: "You are a good match, so I am satisfied."

What's wrong?
Zhuo Ding'an remained motionless like a wooden man, forgot to speak or react.

Lu Yayu couldn't be so frozen there, so she had to "thank" the princess for her compliment, and apologize by the way: "Ding'an caught a cold a few days ago, and now I have to go to Huichuntang to see a doctor as soon as possible, thank you princess for your kindness, and when Ding'an recovers , must visit personally.”

"A visit...to your door?" The Eldest Princess laughed, "I hope I have that chance."

She smiled so easily and with such a pleasant face that she was not the same person she used to be.

But Zhuo Ding'an seemed to realize that her smile was indeed from the heart, without any pretense... She was never a person who knew how to pretend.

But my heart seemed to be blocked by a stone, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.

She really let it go and didn't care at all.

Seeing that the princess said so, Lu Yayu knew that there would be no possibility for the two of them, so she turned around and tugged at Zhuo Dingan's sleeve: "Let's go, I'm going to see a doctor."

From the beginning to the end, Zhuo Ding'an didn't open his mouth, and he turned around and shouted: "Huanyang."

The eldest princess seemed to be slightly taken aback, looking at him incredulously, what did he call her?
But the next moment greeted him with a deep look, and then she heard Zhuo Ding'an's melodious and low voice: "Treasure."

Precious, how suitable is the word for farewell?

She curled up her lips and smiled, the two small dimples were the same as before.

She nodded and said to him, "Treasure."

What a coincidence, like telepathy.

She rejoiced because of this, like a little girl who met him for the first time in her childhood and secretly promised her, but she didn't know what would happen in the future.

She quietly watched Zhuo Ding'an turn around and walk with the beautiful and quiet wife beside her, it was really as beautiful as a painting.

That's fine, and he will live happily and peacefully for the rest of his life.

She was also relieved.

Zhuo Ding'an and Lu Yayu walked slowly, he was as silent as a late tree, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why bother, you obviously can't let it go, but you still want to act like you are in harmony with me, and you are just torturing her, and you are torturing yourself." Lu Yayu sighed.

"But it turns out that she has let go of me, and I can't torture her anymore." He smiled bluntly, and he didn't know whether it was sadness or scorn for himself in his eyes.

He is the only one stuck in the past now.

Walking past weeping willows one after another, he knew that in the future, there would never be a girl who would lock time and stand under a tree waiting for him to walk towards her day after day.

Whether it was the little princess who stood under the apricot tree in the old palace waiting for his short-lived appearance in the early morning, or the woman who has been waiting under the weeping willow for countless days and nights now.

No one is willing to wait for him to pass by with all his youth and beautiful years regardless of the cost.

We finally reached the corner, and we were only one turn away from reaching our destination, Huichun Hall.

Zhuo Ding'an suddenly stopped, and grabbed his body without any warning, but his eyes only caught the blue figure jumping towards the water surface...? !

The blood in the whole body froze in an instant.

Someone by the river shouted: "Someone has fallen into the water! Help someone! Someone has fallen into the water!"

People on the street ran to watch the excitement, and the blue voice quickly disappeared on the water, like a green lotus that flashed in the pan, causing layers of ripples.

My mind suddenly went blank, and then there was a buzzing in my ear, and I couldn't hear anything.

Zhuo Dingan tremblingly ran towards the place where the figure disappeared, Gu Huanyang, what are you doing?What exactly are you doing?
Jumping into the river?

Suicide?

A sunny day in May... no, it was a thunderbolt.

These few days, Gu Qi was very busy. First, the courtiers and the queen mother respectively hinted to him that all the beautiful girls have already entered the palace, and it is time to inject new roles into the harem.Then, many areas south of the Huaihe River suffered the first flood disaster since early summer. Governments all over the country are busy with emergency rescue and relief, but natural disasters are no better than man-made disasters, and they cannot be stopped.

The most terrible thing is Zhao Qingyun, the father of the princess who was sent to serve in the Shu area. Everywhere the idiot is an idiot, he can't handle even a little thing.

All disaster areas have invested manpower and material resources to transfer victims, open warehouses for disaster relief, and strive to minimize losses and casualties. However, Zhao Qingyun, who was born in Sichuan, was in a hurry, and did not transfer the people, so he sent many officers and soldiers to the disaster area. Run, ask them to help salvage some valuables.

As a result, when the flood came again, half of the officers and soldiers sent were lost and drowned alive.

Gu Qi was so angry that he didn't have the time to think about Chu Yan's position. It is true that he is Chu Yan's husband, but he is the present prince and future emperor.

An idiot like Zhao Qingyun shouldn't have given him a second chance in the first place!He should be resigned from his official position and thrown into the pile of straw bags to fend for himself!It's best to call him Drunken Huajian, and he will never have the chance to harm the people again!
At such a time, the land of Shu is in dire straits. Although the natural disasters are not open to God, if the court does not handle them properly, the people are likely to resent those in power and take some drastic actions.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it, that's what it says.

Gu Qi could only rush to send someone to Shu to temporarily fill Zhao Qingyun's vacancy and command the official's office.

Who should I call?

Qin Yuanshan can't do it, he can't do this kind of thing; Xiao Che can't do it either, what if he leaves the palace guards?Prince Gong Gu Chushi... no, he is a prince after all, and it would be a small test if he had this status, which would damage the face of his royal family.

In the end, Gu Qi chose Qin Shu. He is in a leisurely position, so he should have something to do.

So with an edict, Qin Shu set off overnight to Shu.

But at this time, the court exploded, not for anything else, but for the "promising" eldest son of the Zhao family, it really gave the duke a face!

In the past, I was in the land of fireworks in the capital, which greatly damaged the Zhao family's face; now I go to Shu, and I really don't want to miss Shu. Flood disasters every few years are commonplace, but they are dealt with like this. ...It's really not easy to be so stupid.

Zhao Wu's old face was almost unbearable, wishing he could wipe it off and put it in his pocket, it was better than walking in the palace with his heart pierced by thousands of arrows.

The princess concubine in Yong'an Palace also has a very colorful face. She wanted to give Zhao Qingyun one last chance, hoping that the idiot would rise a little after going through experience. Unexpectedly, this father not only did not rise, but also gave her such a big one. Surprise... She was so moved that she was speechless.

Once this incident happened, neither the courtiers nor the queen mother had time to urge the prince to favor Xiunu, and it was unknown whether Zhao Qingyun's trouble was good or bad.

However, Chongshan brought back a lot of news worriedly. It seems that there have been many unfavorable remarks in the palace. At present, all kinds of beautiful women have entered the palace, and many of them are from famous families. It happened to be at this juncture that my father's "Hongfu" was entrusted to me. I don't know if this position is stable or not, and my heart is not at ease.

Although Chu Yan said that she never worried about whether the crown princess would be shaken, but to say that she didn't annoy Zhao Qingyun—it was absolutely impossible!
Finally, I know why Zhao Chuyan died so miserably in her previous life. She has a weak character and her father is still an idiot who will only drag her back!She would rather have Zhao Qingyun hug her thigh than hold her back!
More tragic things followed.

After Qin Shu rushed to Shu, the letter sent back said that the previous bad news was actually nothing at all, and the things that Zhao Qingyun concealed and did not report were passed back to the capital one after another.

The number of civilian casualties is staggering...

A staggering amount of damage to homes...

The displaced people have nowhere to settle...

People in the government... what?Are the people from the government running away?
Every time one more item was sent back, Gu Qi's face became so ugly that it became unbearable in the end.

Chu Yan really wanted to slap her own ears, why did she let Zhao Qingyun die in the first place?She really wanted to sing "Punishment of Impulse" by Dao Lan to her great father, no, to her stupid self!

On the fifth day, things finally had a solution.

After Qin Shu temporarily seconded personnel from nearby counties to make emergency rescue and relief work, the situation finally basically stabilized, at least it did not continue to deteriorate.

At the same time, the tradition that the Xuan Dynasty has followed since the reign of Taizu was brought up again: in case of any natural disaster, the concubine should go to the Xuanchao National Temple-Jingyun Temple to pray for blessings.

Last time it was Concubine Rong who went there, but this time... all the ministers focused their eyes on the only crown prince currently registered as the crown prince.

Chu Yan: I'm not... am I Tang Seng?Do you still want me to go to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures? !
