The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 71 71. Yunxiao

"Miss, if your hair grows well, I heard the old lady in the house say that if your hair grows well, it means you are lucky, and you will be able to get a good husband when you get married in the future."

Feng Jinyao felt depressed after saying this. She suddenly thought of Wen Mengsheng, and most of her good mood when looking at the moonlight disappeared.

 A wishful husband? She didn't think so.

She suffered so many sins in her last life, but she didn’t even think about getting married in this life.

I met Xu Mingyue today, and her words awakened me. When all the revenge she deserves is avenged, can she also devote her love to the mountains and rivers and be a carefree idler?

She doesn't want to be confined to the back house, nor does she want to compete with her husband and concubines. Living such a life once is enough. In this life, she wants to live it happily.

On the treetops in the moonlight, in the Yunxiao Pavilion not far away, Xiao Tingyi stood with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance.

Under the moonlight, his face was no longer pale, but more ruddy with vitality. He was only wearing a black brocade shirt, and there was no charcoal fire in the Yunxiao Pavilion.

 The strange thing is that he, who used to cough at any time in the past, is now very stable.

Yunxiao Pavilion stands high in the sky, overlooking the entire Jin Dynasty, and thousands of houses are brightly lit.

 He often stood here, standing still for an hour every time. Seeing the people living peacefully and peacefully, he felt that he had lived up to his father's entrustment.

Few people in the world know that Xiao Tingyi’s foreign residence is hidden in the woods in the backyard of Fahua Temple.

The mountains are cold, but his courtyard has the warmth of the ground. It is like spring all year round, and is not disturbed by the mountain wind or disturbed by outsiders.

 Since he returned from the battlefield in South Vietnam, outsiders have always thought that he was recuperating in the palace. In fact, this was not the case. He had already emerged from his golden cicada shell and came here.

It is precisely through the warm air here and the rejuvenation of Dr. Zhang that I can take good care of my body.

It is still pretending to be ill now, but it is just the obstacles to Qi Emperor. Otherwise, he does not know how many concubines to be inserted in his palace to inherit the "incense".

To your suspicious Majesty, a sick prince with no wife and no offspring is not much of a threat even if he has a large army.

 Too lazy to spend time on intrigues, he simply claimed that he was ill, so he has been very quiet these years.

The small courtyard lent to the Xu family was just a cover for the outside world. Occasionally, people delivering food would come up, but they didn't know that the food was delivered to Xiao Tingyi's foreign residence.

There is a forest separated by the outside world, and the outside world has used the Five Elements and Bagua technique to seal the forest. Ordinary people cannot find the entrance to the outer house, so after so many years, very few people know about this place.

Seeing the lights gradually extinguishing one by one, Xiao Tingyi retracted his gaze and looked into the distance. Unexpectedly, he inadvertently saw the scene in the small courtyard illuminated by the lanterns.

 It’s really unexpected to see her here.

 Could it be that a girl from the Xu family left her here?

　　Although the two were far apart, Xiao Tingyi could see them clearly.

Obviously she looked like she was peacefully passing through the years, but the expression on that girl's face was filled with indescribable sadness.

Sometimes those eyes are as deep as a pool of water with no bottom, and sometimes they are as clear as a stream that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Having lived for almost thirty years, this was the first time that he was interested in outsiders.

Looking at it quietly for a while under the moonlight, I somehow came up with the idea that none of these lights could match the bright eyes of the girl in front of the window in the small courtyard.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a faint sound of footsteps behind him. He knew who it was before he even turned around, and said softly, "Here he comes."

Yang Zhao stood outside the pavilion with the military intelligence that had just been sent in his hand. He was not surprised at all by Xiao Tingyi's amazing ear, "Your Majesty, this is the military intelligence that was just sent." Xiao Tingyi withdrew his response to Feng Jinyao. Attention, he turned and walked towards Yang Zhao.

After taking the military newspaper and reading it, he looked calm and asked, "How is the investigation of the Zhu family?"

“In reply to the prince, the spies we inserted into the Zhu family have not yet conveyed the news. We only heard that in May next year, the eldest son of the Zhu family will get married, and he will marry a daughter of the Jinling Chi family.”

“He is good at planning. Even if he is found guilty of corruption after borrowing the wealth of the Chi family, he can still get away with it.”

Xiao Tingyi said with ridicule, "I sent an order to get the evidence of his corruption in Caosi before May."

"Yes." Yang Zhao got the order, turned around and left to make arrangements.

 I want to marry the Chi family and take refuge, dreaming!

The military newspaper was held in his palm and turned into ashes with just a slight rub, just like a wild goose passing by without leaving a trace.

 When Xiao Tingyi turned around and looked at the small courtyard again, the beauty by the window was no longer there, and the lights inside were dimmed a bit. Looking at it like this, she might have rested.

His eyes retracted and looked into the distance again. They were as thick as ink that couldn't be melted, and there was more murderous intent in them.

 It has been many years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. After several dynasties have changed, the power has become very complicated. Power breeds desire, and it also breeds many corrupt officials.

In the past two years, his mind has been focused on investigating corruption in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Cao Divisions, but he has repeatedly missed the point.

The huge Thirteenth Water Transport Division and the commanders and envoys of dozens of state capitals along the way are like a dragnet, firmly rooted in it, and neither needles can penetrate it nor oil can pour into it.

 It’s hard to catch a Zhu family member, so naturally he won’t let him go.

Since they are working together and refusing to give up, let’s break it open from the inside, so that it can be tidied up more neatly.

Thinking of this, the idea of ​​the love between children was forgotten again, and he looked far towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The tall figure stands in the Yunxiao Pavilion, taking advantage of the mountain to overlook the world, without feeling desolate and lonely.

In the main room, the Xu family’s orange cat slept soundly. Mrs. Xu was afraid that the girls would be lonely here, so she kept the cat here specially.

Cats are the most spiritual and can give early warning if something happens.

 Two lights were turned off, the whole room became much softer, and the night was getting darker outside.

Looking at its sleeping posture, Feng Jinyao couldn't help but think of Chi Ling at home. Her eyes were smiling. She didn't know what happened to the little thing?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a fiery red figure burst in from outside the door, and suddenly threw himself into Feng Jinyao's arms, whimpering, as if asking why he should leave it alone.

For a moment, Feng Jinyao was surprised. When she saw the "person", her whole heart melted.

"I haven't left you, I'm just playing outside for a few days." He raised it in front of his eyes and comforted her softly.

"But why did you come here? If Xiangqiu finds out that you are not at home tomorrow, won't she be anxious?"

 No matter what, you can’t leave for that long in the future!

Although she didn't say anything, her coquettish look made her meaning clear. Feng Jinyao had no choice but to call Yun Xu.

“Send someone to send a message back at dawn tomorrow and tell Xiangqiu that Chi Ling has escaped.”
