Chapter 70: deep cold
Xie Wei really looked at her for a long time.
Jiang Xuening felt that his eyes were a little cold.
Xie Wei unexpectedly asked: "Does Yan Lin know?"
Although he never asked clearly, Jiang Xuening could probably guess that Xie Wei knew about her relationship with Yan Lin, or in other words, Yan Lin's thoughts about her. At first, I thought that this person was a little too lenient, but when I thought of the guess You Fangyin had raised for me in the previous life, I felt that if the guess was true, it was understandable for Xie Wei to care about this matter.
As for Yan Lin...
He probably doesn't know that she likes Zhang Zhe, after all, how long has it been since she was reborn? But even if those words were not uttered on the day of the towering tower, Yan Lin understood. It was just that he didn't want to hear her say it with his own ears, so he told her not to speak.
Xie Wei twitched the corners of his lips, and smiled slightly: "If I were Yan Lin, I would have peeled off your skin and pulled out your rebellious body. I have never heard that you knew Zhang Zhe in the past, but in the past, I was born in secret. Admiration, it may not be wishful thinking when I saw you today. You like people, but people may not be able to climb up to you."
Jiang Xuening listened to the first half of the sentence but felt terrified.
Hearing the latter sentence, he almost jumped up, a little annoyed: "You're the only one who can climb high, what nonsense are you talking about!"
It looks like someone has stepped on its tail, and it looks like it has teeth and claws.
Xie Wei saw that she was not used to it.
He looked back deeply, and he was as silent as a cold pool: "I just said a word, and you jumped. You are so impatient, and you expose your weaknesses in a few words. It is you, Ning Er, who think that Xie Wei is a kind person. Is it trustworthy enough, or do you think that everyone in the world is kind, and you don’t defend against anyone?"
Jiang Xuening suddenly shivered.
Xie Wei said calmly: "If I were you, whoever I like would be hidden in my heart forever. I would neither say it out loud nor teach others to know it. If I meet you today, I won't treat you for the time being; To deal with you, to deal with you, let's make things difficult for Zhang Zhe first. Then you can see how the words 'harming others and harming yourself' are written. You deserve to be able to play with Yan Lin, as stupid as stupid."
He had never spoken so unceremoniously.
Jiang Xuening didn't even think that he would reprimand her, she just scolded herself, even Yan Lin scolded her together, she just stared at him blankly for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said: She was so happy and confused, she actually showed her heart in front of Xie Wei ?
But looking back, it was clearly Xie Wei who saw through it before she admitted it.
Suddenly, I felt scared in my heart.
Xie Wei was just scaring her, so that she could earnestly improve her memory. Seeing that she was finally scared, she knew that she had listened to what he said. Although he didn't know why, he became more and more unhappy, but he didn't have time to spend more time here. waste.
He directly handed over the lantern and handed it to her.
Only said: "It's too late, let's go back."
Jiang Xuening took over the palace lantern, but there was only one lantern, subconsciously wanted to ask "What about you", but Xie Wei had already turned his back with his hands behind his back, and walked along the high palace wall towards the exit of the palace went.
The darkness around him weighed down on him.
This person is different from Zhang Zhe.
Even when Zhang Zhe walks in the night, people feel that there is light on his body; after Xie Wei leaves the light and walks into the darkness, he merges with the darkness, as if he came from it.
After experiencing the Yangzhizhai incident, everyone went back in shock and fear, and they didn't dare to go back to the room like this, but gathered together and sat in the Liushui Pavilion, drinking hot tea to suppress the shock.
Because it was found out that the maid was framed, no one dared to ask the maid to serve at the moment.
Excluding Jiang Xuening who has not returned yet, there are seven people in the cabinet.
Chen Shuyi said in a nonchalant manner: "It can be considered that she is lucky and courageous. She dared to directly contradict the empress dowager, and dared to say that she is a minister's daughter and not a palace lady. It should be investigated by the Jinyiwei or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. That's why Chen Shuyi was lucky enough to come. My lord and Mr. Zhang escaped unharmed. Otherwise, we might not see her alive."
Yao Rongrong somehow remembered that detail.
At that time, the **** who went out of the palace to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find someone happened to be the **** who was kneeling outside Kunning Palace that day.
She whispered to herself: "Is it really a fluke..."
Xiao Shu glanced at her and didn't interrupt.
But Zhou Baoying blinked and kept looking outside the door: "Didn't Sister Ning go to thank you? It should be over in a few sentences. Why don't you come back now?"
Yao Xi's face turned gloomy.
You Yue observed the words and expressions, and noticed this little anomaly almost immediately, she thought about Yao Xi's relationship with Zhang Zhe, and suddenly understood what Yao Xi was thinking about.
She was never afraid of adding fuel to the fire.
Dang even covered his lips and said with a smile: "The grace of saving lives is a timely gift, so of course I need to say a few more words. But I didn't expect that the legendary Zhang Zhe, although he looked cold, was a good-looking talent. You are a gentleman, sister Yao Xi is very lucky."
Even if you know that You Yue is such a person who stirs up troubles and provokes troubles everywhere, Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi have warned that this person cannot be trusted, even if you are not far away, don't listen to it, don't make friends, but whoever listens to this Can you calm down?
Zhang Zhe is her future husband.
Under the melon field, Jiang Xuening should avoid suspicion no matter what! After all, she was raised in the countryside, a wild girl with no rules!
Yao Xi put down the teacup in his hand heavily.
Of course, Chen Shuyi also knew who You Yue was, but an enemy's enemy is a friend, and it was rare for her to agree with the sentence: "Yes, sister Yao Xi is very lucky. But Jiang Xuening was unlucky. I offended the Empress Dowager so much. Now that everyone is watching, the Empress Dowager may not do anything to her, but she will still be in the palace in the future. Even if the eldest princess is protecting her, life may be sad, and she may not be able to. As good as it is now."
How many people in the palace do not step on the low and hold the high?
If you know that the queen mother doesn't like it and rush to please her, you are courting death.
When Chen Shuyi said this, some people gloated, while others were somewhat worried.
It's just that people behind the scenes are afraid of being heard.
After all, it's not that Jiang Xuening has never bumped into her before, and the timing is very special now, if she hears that they mistakenly think that they framed her, then she is really wronged, so she quickly changed the topic.
You Yue thought that she had been in the palace for several days, and she would be released from the palace to rest and take a bath in two days, so she thought about explaining the things in the mansion before she entered the palace, and suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
I don't know, but these people in the palace are well-informed.
She heard that they happened to talk about the scenery of Yangzhou, so she interjected: "I heard that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are all rich and extravagant, and they are probably not worse than us."
Xiao Shu said: "Salt is popular all over the world. Anyone who does a big business in this business will have money. Moreover, the Jianghuai Salt Field is the largest salt field in every state capital. If it is better than us, it is not necessarily worse than the palace."
Everyone has never been to Yangzhou, so they couldn't help but be amazed.
You Yue's eyes flashed, and she said, "I heard that the Ziliujing Salt Field in Shu is also very famous, so why do you seldom hear that the salt merchants there are rich?"
There is no need for Xiao Shu to speak now, Chen Shuyi has already glanced at her lightly, and said: "The natural moat of the Shu Road has always been difficult to pass through, and the news of its closure has not been spread since ancient times, and the salt field in Ziliujing is not a first-class large salt field. Compared with Yangzhou?"
It seems that no one knows Ren Weizhi yet.
You Yue secretly thought about the legendary "Zhuotongjing". If it is true, Ziliujing can also become a first-class salt field. If she can get a share of it...
Just when she wanted to ask about the world's salt in detail, Jiang Xuening came back.
Fang Miao saw it first and called out.
Chen Shuyi smiled pointedly: "Why has Second Miss Jiang been gone for so long?"
Still holding the lantern in his hand, Jiang Xuening stopped and stood under the eaves, blew it out with his eyelids closed, looked back at her, and said calmly: "I met Mr. Xie in the road, and I was stopped to ask a few words."
Everyone saw that she was not very energetic, and then remembered that she was always trained by Xie Wei, and thought that she was not pleasing again.
It was inexplicably more comfortable now.
Zhou Baoying opened her big eyes, and said softly, "Mr. Xie, don't scold you again, right?"
Jiang Xuening saw how everyone was sitting in the tea party again, and she didn't really want to participate, so she lied a little bit and said, "It's okay, just let me go to learn the piano tomorrow as usual."
How many people couldn't believe it was so easy, they all sneered in their hearts.
But Jiang Xuening only said: "Today I was really frightened and tired, and I also implicated all of you in being frightened together with me. I'm sorry. I'm a little sleepy, so I went back to my room to sleep first. Everyone, please rest earlier."
After speaking, she casually hung the lantern on the porch, and walked back to her room along the veranda.
The previously messed up rooms have been tidied up.
But when Jiang Xuening sat down on the seemingly tidy bed again, she still felt shivering, as if she was in a cold prison.
For the next two days, the palace was surprisingly quiet.
Jiang Xuening never heard any gossip.
Or maybe it's still being passed on, but none of it can be passed on to Yang Zhizhai, and the whole world seems to have nothing happened. Only when she raised her eyes and saw the occasional palace man giving her curious eyes while walking through the long palace road, could she glimpse the undercurrent hidden under the calm.
The accidental meeting that night didn't seem to change her relationship with Xie Wei.
There are still two classes in three days, and the piano practice will not be missed.
It's just that it's hard for her to calm down.
Xie Wei asked her to sit in front of the qin for a few days, but it was difficult to calm her impatience, and then he simply ignored it, and just asked her to sit beside him, while he sat on the other side of the desk, buried his head in the papers, and dealt with them. The piles of official documents, even the words are less.
Sometimes Jiang Xuening would think, maybe this is Xie Wei's usual appearance.
It wasn't until the day before leaving the palace for a rest that she finally met Zheng Bao in the corner of the imperial garden.
Zheng Bao whispered to her that His Highness the Eldest Princess and His Highness the King of Linzi went to the Palace of Compassion that night to intercede for the Yongyi Hou Mansion, which offended the Holy One and the Empress Dowager. He was scolded by the Holy Spirit and punished to kneel in the Taimiao for three hours.
She couldn't help but froze.
Zheng Bao raised his eyes to look at her again, a sigh flashed in his eyes, and told her that the court lady who framed her died for no reason on the day she was imprisoned in the Punishment Department, and she didn't ask anything.
Jiang Xuening didn't know how she got to the side hall of Fengchen Hall.
She came too late today.
But Xie Wei hasn't come yet.
She waited for a long time and saw no one. Sitting in front of the Guqin in the Jiaoan Temple, she felt that although the room was warm, her hands and feet were cool.
The two carved windows are half open.
There was a whimper of wind blowing in from outside.
Xie Wei's table and case were always tidy, brushes were washed and hung on the shelf, used or unused paper was pressed with a ruler or a paperweight, and the wind only opened a few pages.
However, there was one page that was only lightly placed in the corner of the desk.
As soon as the wind blows, it falls to the ground.
Jiang Xuening's eyes couldn't help but fall, and after a while, Xie Wei was not there yet, so she got up and walked over, picked it up, and looked down at the writing on it.
It was not a letter, but a mansion report from two days ago!
At this moment, her heart sank into the ice cave!
—The mansion of the Marquis of Yongyi is suspected of colluding with the rebellious party.
"Butt buckle."
At this moment, someone knocked on the palace door.
The little **** serving outside the hall said through the door: "My lord, there is a message from the master. I am too busy to come here today. I am tired of waiting for the second girl of Jiang. It happens that I will take a bath tomorrow and leave the palace. I also ask the girl to rest for a while." sky."
Jiang Xuening looked out the window, unknowingly, it was already very cold.
There are only fifteen days left before the boy's crowning ceremony.
