Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 56
Chapter 51 Hand in hand
Shang Yu watched her enter the room amusedly, planning to talk to Shao Pei.

The current situation has reached the critical moment when the dawn is about to dawn. Shao Pei brought Qi Yang down from Lanzhou Mountain and arrived in Dongdu.

Shang Yu went straight to Shao Pei's residence and knocked on the door of the house.

As soon as Qi Yang saw him, he said with a bitter face: "Eldest brother, you wait for the master to clean you up! He has been scolding you for several days."

Shang Yu smiled and entered the room.

Shao Pei was lying on the bed with a wet towel on his head, and was resting with his eyes closed. The face under the wet towel was very haggard, which showed that he was very angry this time.

Shang Yu quietly stepped forward to take off his wet wipe, wrung out warm water again, and covered his forehead again, then whispered: "Master, I'm back."

When Shao Pei heard his voice, he opened his eyes and sat up immediately.The wet towel on his head fell on his clothes, and he picked it up and threw it into the washbasin, and the water splashed Shang Yu all over.He had never been so angry before, and his elegant demeanor was swept away.

"You bastard, you actually delayed important matters for a woman, can you be worthy of your mother?"

Shang Yu knelt on one knee in front of his bed, raised his head proudly, looked at Shao Pei and said, "Master, if you had the courage to take my mother away back then, how could there be such a tragedy as marrying Cang Qiao far away? My father compared My mother is twenty years old and has several concubines. You have seen with your own eyes how my mother lived in Cangqiao. Therefore, I will not regret it for the rest of my life like you."

One sentence made Shao Pei speechless, he covered his chest, and there was a bloody smell in his throat.The past can't be mentioned again, what is mottled and dripping is regret.

His original name was Lin Peishao, and he lost his mother since he was a child. Pei Yunkuang's mother was his eldest sister, who took him into the house to raise him. He and Shang Yu's mother were childhood sweethearts.However, a marriage decree cut off the relationship between the two.He didn't realize the deep-rooted regret until after she married far away. He followed her incognito and lived in Cangqiao under the name of Shao Pei.When she was engulfed in flames, he failed to rescue her in time and only rescued Shang Yu.He raised Shang Yu with all his heart, and has been depressed all the time.In his lifetime, he only hoped that Shang Yu could take back Cang Qiao's throne and avenge her, so that he could make up for the tragedy caused by his cowardice when he was young.

Shang Yu's words pierced his heart with a raging fire and deep regret.

Shang Yu said: "Master, the situation today is different from the past. The emperor is already seriously ill, so there is no need for Si Tian to use the silver hook."

Even so, he was still angry. Shang Yu's actions were too impulsive. For a woman, he felt troubled and felt that Shang Yu was immature.

"Si Tian is in your heart, is it more important than Cang Qiao's hegemony?"

"Master, the weight is the same. The two are not in conflict. Why do you have to put Jiangshan and Hongyan in a place where water and fire are incompatible? I have always been clear about what I should do. I am not a child anymore. Master, don't worry, I will not let you You are disappointed."

Shang Yu's words were not unreasonable. Emperor Li Zhen was now in the ashes of the wind candle, and he wouldn't last long without using the silver hook.

Shao Pei sighed, and said, "Go with you, I can't control you anymore when you grow up."

Shang Yu held his palm and said in a low voice: "Master, you are like a father in my heart. Except for Uncle Qi, the person I am closest to is you. She is also my closest person. You, I will not give up."

Seeing his resolute expression, Shao Pei knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he changed the subject: "Has there been any movement from King Linjiang recently?"

"The emperor said that he will not be allowed to enter Beijing for three years, so he is in a hurry and cannot come here. He made a memorial a few days ago, saying that there are thieves in the southern border of Yanzhou, and he is leading troops to suppress them."

"He's writing this note at the moment, what do you think he means?"

"The emperor has not lost his breath yet, and he can't go to Beijing to resist the decree, so he can't catch up with Dongdu. But Yanzhou is closer to the capital, and he can justifiably bring soldiers and horses when he suppresses the bandits. To the border of Yanzhou. When the emperor returns to heaven, he will lead his troops to the south, and he can occupy Shangjing and establish himself as emperor."

Shao Pei sneered: "His idea is not bad, but he also needs to have that ability!"

"Master, although he is a little weak in strategy, he is indeed a general, and he is very good at leading troops in battle."

"There are not many soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, even if he occupies Shangjing, he will not be able to make a fortune."

"My lord wants to take this opportunity to get rid of future troubles. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a crime bigger than treason in the future to punish him."

"What is the emperor's will?"

"The emperor is speechless, and now the prince is in charge of the country, and the prince and I have already discussed it."

"What are you going to do?"

Shang Yu laughed and said, "My lord is planning to send troops to reinforce it. Master, when the chaos in northern Xinjiang was quelled last time, didn't the emperor leave [-] soldiers there? It happened to be used to copy Linjiang King's retreat this time. Clamp back and forth."

Shao Pei said: "Wouldn't he be suspicious of the prince sending troops there?"

"If someone else is sent, he must be on guard, so the prince sent me, he would naturally not be on guard against me, and I'm afraid he secretly rejoiced, thinking that he could swallow the imperial court's troops without fighting. What about your own troops?"

"Indeed, he always thought you were one of his own."

"Master, I have one thing I want to ask you to agree to."

"what's up?"

"I beg Master to promise that there will be no Suzaku in Qishimen, and Si Tian will only be my wife from now on."

Shao Pei was silent, and went around in a big circle. After all, he still hadn't forgotten about it. He sighed, nodded, and agreed.

The emperor was sober for a few days, and fell into a coma after taking two pills of Xiaoyao Dan from Zhang Guoshi.Pei Yunkuang called Zuo Shiqiu into the palace, hinting at the strangeness of the matter.Zuo Shiqiu naturally understood Pei Yunkuang's intentions. He was the new king, and it was imperative to please him. The current situation of the emperor was not good, and it was a good opportunity to get rid of Zhang Guoshi, and he could avenge himself by the way.

The next day, Zuo Shiqiu played together with all the court officials.The queen mother is the person who cares most about the emperor's condition, and the imperial physician Xuan goes to ask about it every day.Pei Yunkuang sent the courtiers' joint memorial to the Queen Mother, and the judges of the Imperial Hospital reported the disadvantages of Xiaoyao Pill to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was already dissatisfied with Zhang Guoshi. Taking advantage of the emperor's critical illness and unconsciousness, she promptly and decisively dealt with Zhang Guoshi secretly. .In case the emperor woke up and asked about it, he would only say that he died suddenly due to illness.

Zhang Guoshi has been calling the wind and rain in front of the emperor, and no one dares to move.Taking advantage of the emperor's coma, the queen mother took him down in an instant, and Zhang Guoshi was killed like an ant in an instant, which made everyone sigh.

Pei Yunkuang finally got rid of the serious troubles in his heart for many years, and felt at ease.Since Emperor Zhen's illness, all important government affairs were on his shoulders. The Empress Dowager trusted him so much that she arranged the East Palace for him and Princess Qingping to stay temporarily, so as to deal with state affairs in a timely manner.In the eyes of courtiers,
He is undoubtedly the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Zuo Shiqiu began to secretly cut off his relationship with Pei Siyu, and Pei Ziyou's relationship with King Linjiang became more and more secretive.

Pei Yunkuang summoned the officials and said that the emperor's holy body is not safe, and the world must be more stable. Therefore, the bandit chaos in Yanzhou must be quelled as soon as possible. lieutenant general.There are not many soldiers and horses to reinforce Yanzhou to suppress bandits, only [-].In this way, the king of Linjiang will not be suspicious.

After the morning break, Pei Yunkuang left Wan Kechong and Shang Yu behind, and after explaining a few words, he gave Shang Yu a secret letter.

Shang Yu went out of the palace gate and opened the secret letter in the sedan chair.The letter was well-planned and detailed, and the running script was slightly cursive, like wind and waves. He concealed his scroll and sighed, and finally waited for this day.

The sedan chair stopped at Fanyin Lane, and Shang Yu walked into the courtyard gate.

Si Tian was leaning on a chair under the corridor, holding a book in his hand, but he didn't know where his mind was wandering.Her eyes are as calm as autumn water, barking and clear.The snow-white skin was illuminated by the sun like jade, and the wind gently brushed through her hair, bringing a few black strands to float by her ears. When they fluttered, the pearl earrings on the earlobe seemed to be motionless.

She is like a painting of a beautiful lady, time is like a pen, and he is slowly freehand in his heart.He looked at her through the daylight, and felt a lazy warmth slowly rising in his heart, as if the sun had directly spread between his heart and lungs.

He couldn't help but think of the past, when he asked her to recite the book, she still cared about Lin Xiyan pretending to be stupid, but in the end he gave her a slap.At that time, he seemed to be a bit cruel, he felt a little guilty, and strode up the corridor.

When she heard footsteps, she turned her head, the light was suddenly blocked by his body and dimmed, turning into a shady and cold color.

He took down the book in her hand and held her hand in his palm.

She was used to being in contact with his skin, obediently did not break free.His expression today was extraordinarily gentle, his domineering and rigid lines seemed to be softened suddenly, with an intoxicating sense of indulgence.

He looked at her a little unnaturally, as if she didn't know where to put her gaze.

He sat beside her, rested her head on his shoulder, and asked anxiously: "I used to be a little harsh on you, don't you take revenge?"

She's kind of funny, she's not that narrow-minded yet.

She glared at him and said angrily, "I remember it all, it's unforgettable."

"Really?" He stared in disbelief.

She glanced at him, and the cute and charming expression made his heart tremble.

He smiled: "It's okay to make you unforgettable. If you want revenge, come here. You can do it anywhere. After today, you will have to wait for a long time."

She asked curiously, "Why?"

He looked at her tenderly, and said, "I'm going to Yanzhou to suppress bandits, and I won't see you for a long time."

She was very surprised, staring at him blankly, feeling inseparable in her heart, like vines and grasses, luxuriantly spreading branches and leaves, instantly filling her heart, very uncomfortable.

She couldn't help asking, "How long will it take to go back?"

He smiled: "Back and forth in March."

She obviously didn't believe it, and stared at him talking big.

"What kind of bandits can be suppressed in three months? It takes a month to go back and forth. Do you think you are bringing heavenly soldiers and generals?"

He was confident, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You don't believe me? Why don't you make a bet with me?"

She naturally didn't believe it, so she said boldly, "What are you betting on?"

He chuckled: "Bet, if I win, you marry me right away."

She blushed: "What if you lose?"

"I won't lose."

"What if?"

"Then I will marry you."

Upside down is the same meaning, she knew that he was teasing her, she got angry and didn't talk to him any further, she just told him: "Be careful."

He smiled narrowly: "You care about me very much."

With a red face, she turned around and pretended to get the sewing basket, not wanting him to see her embarrassed look.

He looked at the sewing basket and said, "I know you don't have anything else to do now, why don't you make wedding dresses, if you dislike your poor craftsmanship, you can go to the embroidery workshop to order."

She stared back at him.

He intentionally teased her: "Don't feel bad about making money by yourself. If it doesn't look good, it will make people laugh when you wear it. It's fine to be stingy elsewhere. Don't be stingy with this wedding dress. I know you are greedy for money. How about I first marry you?" Can I give you some silver?"

She put down the basket and said angrily, "Who cares about your money!" It's too much to dare to make fun of her.

He thinks her every frown and smile is cute.He leaned close to her cheek and said in a low voice: "In a few days, you and Uncle Qi will go to Beijing with me."

"Why?"

"Shangjing is close to Yanzhou. You wait there for my news and see if I win or lose my bet."

"Well, if the lord and master still have something to ask me to do, it seems inappropriate for me to leave rashly."

"It's okay, Master has promised not to let you do anything from now on. You just let me go." He was worried about this, so he wanted to take her out of Dongdu.

"But you are going to lead the army to fight, how suitable is it for us to follow?"

"Of course you are not with the army. I will find some experts to escort you at Qishimen."

"Isn't it okay for me to wait for your news here? Why do you have to go to Beijing?"

"Girl, don't ask too many questions, just be obedient."

He arranged this for three reasons.One is that Pei Yunkuang is now the lord of the Eastern Palace, but the emperor is dying and may ascend to heaven at any time. Although he believes in her, if Pei Yunkuang can't let her go, he summons her into the palace and canonizes her. It's too late to regret.Secondly, he had already discussed with Pei Yunkuang the plan after "suppressing the bandits", and he really wanted to take her and Uncle Qi back to Cangqiao to see him take back his things with his own eyes.Third, although Shao Pei has promised not to use her anymore, she is considered free, but according to her temperament of repaying what she has, if Shao Pei wants to ask her to do something again, she will definitely not refuse.After much deliberation, he thought it would be better to keep her in sight.Yanzhou is very close to Shangjing, so he planned to let her and Uncle Qi wait for him in Shangjing first, and then take her back to Cangqiao after he settles the matter of King Linjiang.

Si Tian didn't know what was going on in his mind. She felt that there was no difference between waiting in Dongdu and waiting in Shangjing, so she felt that it was a bit of a fuss to go all the way to Shangjing to wait for him. If it spread, it seemed that he loved his son and daughter. There is no distinction between public and private.

She whispered: "Can't I just wait for you in Dongdu? You go to suppress the bandits, and I'll follow. It's not good to hear the news."

Shang Yu pretended to be displeased: "It's not that you are asked to join the army, so there is nothing for others to talk about. People often say that husbands and wives follow, why do you refuse to go to Beijing to be closer to me when I go to Yanzhou? Don't you care at all?" My life and death, do not want to know my news earlier? You are really hard-hearted, heartless and ruthless."

This is a big crime!His righteous words made her face turn pale, and she quickly agreed to go to Beijing together.
