Chapter 10 The tenth round of chaos

The wine jar spun around on the eaves, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces with a "bang". Because of this abnormal sound, Jiang Chenyu stopped his fingers, and a faint shadow came over him. He raised his head and found that Pan Fang had come down from the eaves at some point and was standing in front of him. The eyes of the two intersected in the air, Pan Fang suddenly stretched out his hand to hold down the strings of the piano, and said in a deep voice, "Enough." Jiang Chenyu smiled: "Do you feel better?" Pan Fang stared at her with inexplicable emotions in his deep eyes: "If I don't call to stop, will you keep playing like this?"

Jiang Chenyu tilted her head to mutter on purpose, seeing Pan Fang's eyes showing guilt, she couldn't help smiling, pushed the piano away and stood up, slowly said: "I don't stop because you didn't realize it, and now you ordered me to stop , but really enlightened?" A strange color flashed across Pan Fang's face, like the waves swept by birds, rippling shallowly, Yiyi dissipated, and finally smiled at himself mockingly: "I'm a rough person, I can't talk about enlightenment, but there are two things. I know that very well." Jiang Chenyu raised his eyebrows.

"First, Yishu is not Qin Niang." Pan Fang looked at the distant sky, his face was very clear in the bright light, his thick eyebrows raised slowly, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, his nose was straight, The corners of his lips were firm and his expression was dignified, but his eyes were gentle. Before this, Jiang Chenyu had never seen a man who could perfectly integrate the two completely different qualities of fortitude and gentleness. Pan Fang turned around, looked at her, and said word by word: "I will never confuse the two, and I will never replace the other with anyone. So, you don't have to worry that I will mess up because of this, and forget this The purpose of the trip."

Jiang Chenyu bit her lower lip, he was so honest, it made her feel ashamed.In fact, part of the reason why she didn't explain to Yishu and the others why he cried last night was that she hoped that this surprise act would have some unexpected effect-after all, not every man dares to cry in front of others, and even more so. What's more, for such a touching reason.Although Yishu doesn't know now, she will know one day in the future, and the day she knows may be the time when she falls in love.However, Pan Fang said clearly to himself now - he will not have any special feelings for Yishu just because Yishu looks like Qin Niang.As a result, Jiang Chenyu immediately felt that he had acted like a villain again.

"Secondly, Mother Qin..." Pan Fang pressed his heart with one hand, "Here with me, and will always be here until she dies with me." Jiang Chenyu's eyes blurred—this is really the most beautiful love sentence in the world. It was so beautiful that she couldn't open her mouth to speak anymore. Because, no matter what to say, it is blasphemy. She could only hang her head down. Pan Fang suddenly said in his ears, "Stretch out your hand." She froze for a moment, and stretched out her hands subconsciously.His fingers felt cold, and he raised his eyelashes, but it turned out that Pan Fang took out the ointment he carried with him and helped her apply it on her hands.

She had been playing for a whole night, and her ten fingers were already sore, and the skin was worn out in some places, causing burning pain.But before that, he forcibly suppressed it, but he didn't expect that Pan Fang was so careful that he even noticed such a trivial matter. Pan Fang's gestures were extremely dexterous, and he almost didn't touch her skin directly, first with his left hand, then with his right hand, the cold feeling replaced the burning pain, Jiang Chenyu said gratefully: "Thank you." Pan Fang put away the ointment, looked at her steadfastly, and said in a low voice, "You are a good girl. She is icy and snowy, and she is kind."

Jiang Chenyu was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised that he would say such words suddenly, and was about to humble himself, but saw Pan Fang's eyes darkened a little, and there seemed to be a sigh in his eyes: "Young master...you have no destiny in this life, is it his loss." Jiang Chenyu's breathing almost stopped at that moment. he knows! He even knew! He actually knew her identity, who she was, and even more about her relationship with Ji Ying! Jiang Chenyu involuntarily took a small step back, feeling her heart beating fast, she wondered if Guo Jiang Wanyi remembered her, she guessed whether the two hundred and eighty people on the boat knew her, but alone did not Thought about Pan Fang!

That day, when we went to the teahouse with Princess Zhaoluan, she hid from the beginning to the end, and she was dressed as a man. Pan Fang probably didn't notice her, and there was no chance to meet her later. Why did he recognize him? Seeing her instantly pale face, Pan Fang said, "I won't say anything." Jiang Chenyu bit her lip, and after a while, she smiled stiffly: "We are really destined, aren't we?" The two of them, one is Ji Ying's retainer, the other is Ji Ying's former fiancée, and now, they are both envoys to the Kingdom of Cheng, and they want to complete a common mission - how could such a situation be expected at the beginning?The arrangement of the world really makes people dumbfounded and full of emotion.

She wasn't afraid that Pan Fang would reveal her secrets, but the past that had been buried in dust was deliberately provoked by someone related. The surprise of being caught off guard and the embarrassment of not knowing what to do still made her feel... a sour. In particular, the other party praised her with such words - "Young master has no destiny for you in this life". As much as you want to cover your ears, you can pretend that you can't hear. If you close your eyes, you can pretend you can't see. So much thought and thought, but in the end, I could only stand quietly and stare straight at him, unable to escape or let go.Perhaps in her lifetime, the word "Ji Ying" will become her eternal taboo: if you lift it away, the sores will be thick and the scars will be deep; if you cover it up, there will be a faint pain.

In this way, an existence that is embarrassing and painful but also reluctant to let go. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became cramped. In order to eliminate the crampedness, Jiang Chenyu forced himself to raise his head, looked back at Pan Fang, raised his eyebrows, raised his lips, and tried to smile: "Actually..." After saying two words, a shrill cry was heard, accompanied by the sound of the door being slammed open, a person rushed into the post station, the impact was so sudden that he couldn't hold back his feet, fell to the ground, and rolled on the ground After several laps, he finally stopped, and without wiping off the dirt on his face, he yelled at Jiang Chenyu: "Miss Yu, General Pan, something is wrong! Something serious happened!"

Jiang Chenyu hurried up to help: "Butler Li, what happened? Don't worry, speak slowly..." "It's not good, it's not good...something has happened!" Li Qing's complexion was ashen, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body was trembling, "Just came the news from the palace, Said Hou Ye, Hou Ye..." Jiang Chenyu's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise: "What's wrong with senior brother? Could it be that he gave Cheng Wang to the doctor, doctor..." She wanted to say that the doctor was dead, but the word came to her mouth and she couldn't think of it, so she changed it quickly. up. "It's fine if that's the case. He, he... I heard that he stayed in the palace last night under the guise of seeing a doctor. King Cheng suddenly vomited in the middle of the night, and the palace people went to find Lord Hou again in a hurry. Who would have thought, who would have thought..." Li The housekeeper slapped his thigh when he said this, sweating profusely, "Who would have thought that he is not in his room! It's, it's..." Jiang Chenyu narrowed his eyes slightly.When others were flustered, she calmed down instead, her pupils seemed to have condensed with frost, and said coldly, "Is it someone else's bed?" Li Qing was taken aback: "Miss Yu, you already knew?" "Is that someone else, the concubine Luo Guifei whom King Cheng loves the most?" Li Qing stomped his feet and said, "It's her! Tell me, isn't this... so daring, she completely disregards the face of Bi Kingdom, and the lives of those who came with us!" Jiang Chenyu turned her head and looked at Pan Fang: "What does the general think?" Pan Fang replied very concisely: "Conspiracy." "Then what are we waiting for?" Jiang Chenyu smiled sarcastically, turned around, and raised her voice, "Come on, prepare the car." Li Qingdao: "Miss Yu is going to the palace?" "Ok." Li Qing was overjoyed: "Miss Yu has thought of a good plan to save Lord Hou?" "No." "what?" Jiang Chenyu stared at the clouds in the sky. There were many clouds, layered on top of each other. They could be regarded as brilliant, but they could also be called ominous. They piled up in such an ambiguous manner.Her pupils contracted, and she lowered her voice: "If he was wronged, I will try my best to save him. But—" "but?" "However, if this matter is true, it would not be a pity to die ten thousand times, if you are so obsessed with sex, you will become a concubine, you will humiliate our country's body, and our country's face." Li Qing was stunned. Jiang Chenyu glanced at him, but smiled again, and continued: "However, even if you want to die, you have to take it back to the country of Bi, and the lord of the country will personally bestow death on you, and no arbitrary judgment is allowed. So, let's go—" With this sound, the wheels crushed the green grass, and it was clear that the morning light was bright at the previous moment, but at this moment, the clouds in the sky were rolling, and the ink was smudged into the world. After a thunderbolt, the rain poured down. When the carriage arrived at the palace, thick clouds had completely covered the entire sky, and the palace lanterns reflected on the wet ground, giving off a phosphorescent glow. When the feet landed on the ground, the hem of the skirt was inevitably wet. Li Qing quickly opened the umbrella and lifted it over Jiang Chenyu's head, but she didn't respond, she just stared at the guard guarding the gate, and repeated his words with a heavier voice: "Don't let me see you?" The guard smiled politely, with a respectful attitude, but his words were still cold: "Yes, the third prince has explained that he has something to do right now, so it is inconvenient to meet all the distinguished guests." "Who said we want to see His Highness the Third? We want to see His Majesty King Cheng." "The emperor is seriously ill, and he is not allowed to see him unless he summons him." Jiang Chenyu narrowed her eyes: "Then tell me, who else can we see now?" The guard bent down: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anyone now." Jiang Chenyu frowned. She expected that the other party might make such a move. However, the matter was urgent. If they stayed outside the palace for a while, Jiang Wanyi might suffer a little longer in the palace, and the crime would be even more serious. One point, so you must meet the three princes or princesses. She pursed her lower lip and said in a deep voice: "In that case, forget it. However, Marquis Dongbi is still in the palace at the moment, and we want to see him. King Cheng will not even stop us from seeing the lord of his own country. Bar?" The guard smiled ambiguously: "Dong Bihou...it is inconvenient to see you now." Jiang Chenyu asked bluntly: "Why is it inconvenient?" The guard was a little embarrassed, and then said: "The girl came here in such a hurry, so she naturally knows what's going on. Dong Bihou made a big mistake, I'm afraid... Hehe, since some things can be done He should know what the consequences will be, and he will forget about it himself, but it will also implicate you..." Just as he was laughing obscenely, Jiang Chenyu lowered his face and said sharply: "Shut up! How can our lord allow you to make unreasonable comments? Let alone the fact that the whole story is unknown, we are the envoys of Bi Kingdom, even if What mistake did you make, and you are not allowed to interrogate in private! Go and tell your master, we must see Lord Hou today!" The guard's complexion changed, and he became anxious, and said coldly: "It's useless for you to make trouble like this. Your Highness has explained that no one is allowed to see anyone who comes today..." As soon as I said this, a rush of wheels pierced through the rain curtain, and soon came to the front, which was a light carriage. The coachman reined in his horse and said softly, "Open the door, let's go!" The guard drooped his eyelids and said: "Your Highness, tell me, no one—" His voice stopped suddenly, and he widened his eyes, looking at a hand stretched out from the car. It was a well-kept, very delicate hand. The thumb and middle finger were slightly bent, holding a golden-purple token, the patterns on the token could not be seen because the back was facing Jiang Chenyu. However, the guard's expression suddenly changed. Without saying a word, he immediately waved his hand respectfully and directed the other gatekeepers to open the palace gate. The carriage passed by Jiang Chenyu slowly. Jiang Chenyu stared at the heavy hanging curtain, thinking about who could have such great power. A voice said, "Follow me in." The guard said anxiously: "The Third Highness has ordered that they are not allowed to..." Stared at by the coachman, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he lowered his head in frustration. Jiang Chenyu was overjoyed, and hurried back to her carriage, so the two carriages galloped into the palace one after the other, and it took half a cup of tea before they stopped. Jiang Chenyu got out of the car, and saw that the driver in front also jumped out of the car and turned around to help the people in the car. It's June and it's the warm early summer. Although the heavy rain lowers the temperature, it's enough to wear a thin shirt.However, the person who got out of the car was wearing very bloated clothes. At a glance, there were about three or four pieces of clothing. The whole person was curled up in his clothes, looking very chilly. The coachman put a fox fur cloak on him, and he tightened the cloak. While coughing softly, he walked towards the house. Jiang Chenyu told Li Qing to wait outside, and motioned for Pan Fang to follow along. The guards guarding the door did not dare to stop the man when they saw him, and obediently let him go. After the door opened, there was a huge hall inside. Yi Fei was leaning on a carved bench, looking at the two people in the middle of the hall with a mocking smile. Startled, he quickly got up and landed. As for the two people in the hall, one stood motionless like a sculpture, while the other fell to the ground, covering his face and crying.It was none other than Jiang Wanyi and Luo Guifei. Seeing that no torture was used, Jiang Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. Yi Fei stared at that person with an extremely displeased expression, then glanced at Jiang Chenyu and the others behind him, and said, "Didn't you go to Xueya to ask for medicine?" The hall was warm, the man took off his cloak, and handed it to the coachman who was following him, the lights in the hall immediately illuminated his eyebrows and eyes, it was a face that was so pale that there was no trace of blood, the eyebrows were very black, like a Outlined by ink lines, densely twisted into a line, the eyelashes are extremely long, and the pupils are naturally soft, just like his hands, with the beauty of ambiguous gender. There was no expression on his face, he walked to the side, found a chair and sat down, and then said: "I think I should be there when such a big thing happened. Don't worry about me, go ahead." His eyes turned around, and he looked at Jiang Chenyu, "Don't stand still, let's sit down together." Jiang Chenyu thought for a while, then walked over and sat beside him.Pan Fang didn't sit down, but walked over and stood behind Jiang Chenyu. For some reason, this small action made Jiang Chenyu feel inexplicably at ease, as if there was such a person standing behind him, no matter what kind of situation he was facing in front of him There is no need to be too afraid of ups and downs. Yi Fei narrowed his eyes dangerously, glanced back and forth at them, finally shrugged his shoulders, and lazily said: "Very well, this is what you insisted on staying and watching, and you brought them in. Blame it, but don't blame me as a younger brother for not being mean enough, I can only confess to you, big brother." Jiang Chenyu's eyelashes trembled—although he had already vaguely guessed the identity of this person, but he was still a little startled when he heard the truth.Unexpectedly, the man in front of me who is full of spirit, restrained, charming and self-confident is the so-called "mediocre, soft-eared and unprofessional" Prince Cheng of the Kingdom of Linsu in his father's mouth. With such an appearance and such a Fengshen, why didn't Ming Gong like him? If he was really mediocre, why did the guards just fear him so much?If he really didn't have his own opinion, he wouldn't have to come to this muddy water, let alone bring them in together... A lot of incomprehensible contradictions came to mind, but finally turned into a calm, firmly covered on the skin, Jiang Chenyu sat quietly, staring at Concubine Luo who was crying bitterly in the middle of the hall, and her face was pale Jiang Wanyi, who didn't say a word, remained calm. Yi Fei glanced at the crowd with a smile, and said leisurely: "Since all the guests are here, let's continue singing this play." Concubine Luo Gui visibly trembled, raised her red eyes, and looked at him nervously. But he turned his head to Linsu: "how about it, brother prince, do you want the imperial concubine to retell the ins and outs of the story to you?" Linsu looked at Concubine Luo indifferently and said, "What grievance is there?" Concubine Luo bit her lower lip, trembling all over, but she just didn't speak. Linsu looked at Jiang Wanyi again: "If she doesn't say anything, what about you?" Jiang Wanyi's face was cold and serious, and her eyes were deep, like a piece of white jade submerged in water.This made Jiang Chenyu think back to the day when he first met him——after the apricot-yellow curtain was lifted heavily, the so-called "miracle doctor" who greeted his eyes was actually such a young, water-like man. I feel that he is so incompatible with the imperial palace. Now, the reputation of the two people and the diplomatic relations between the two countries are at stake. At such a momentous moment when the arrow is on the string and one hair can affect the whole body, look at him standing in the hall, with his thin body like a scholar, and his eyebrows. The deep sorrow exuded in the room, and the absurd feeling of "why should such a person who looks like a fairy stand here?" And he, on the other hand, didn't speak. Yi Fei laughed and said: "If he doesn't say anything, he will naturally acquiesce. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he says it or not, so many pairs of eyes can see it... Isn't it, my Dong Bihou, the genius doctor Jiang ?” Jiang Wanyi's eyes flicked across Jiang Chenyu and Pan Fang's faces, and then slowly lowered his head. Jiang Chenyu noticed that his hands were slowly clenched by his sides, obviously struggling, but in the end, Still chose to remain silent. Why was his reaction so embarrassing?Could there be a deeper hidden secret?To make him rather take the risk of being beheaded than tell the truth? Lin Su said slowly: "I don't care what others see, I just want to hear a word from the person concerned." "Then, I'll repeat it for His Highness the Crown Prince." Yi Fei took a few steps towards Concubine Luo, looked at her with a smile, and said in a soft voice, "The imperial concubine and Dong Bihou have had a close relationship since childhood, and reunited after a long absence. , couldn't help it, and drank a few more glasses with each other. The man and the woman loved each other, completely forgetting each other's identities, so they committed this heinous mistake. Now that the incident is revealed, the evidence is overwhelming, and there is no way to argue, so they can only confess their guilt obediently... " Jiang Chenyu saw that his words became more and more unreasonable, and just about to frown, he heard his tone suddenly change strangely: "Such a story-don't say I won't believe it, the prince brother won't believe it, my father won't believe it, I'm afraid that no one in the world will believe it." This remark was beyond her expectation, and she couldn't help opening her eyes wide. Yi Fei raised his gaudy long sleeves, covered his lips with three fingers painted with light Kodan, and smiled. He was far inferior to his elder brother and had a natural softness, so such a sissy smile seemed even more wretched, but In such a deliberately disgusting posture, a pair of eyes are as black as lacquer, shining brightly: "Don't say that Dong Bihou, you are an envoy of the Bi Kingdom, and everyone with a discerning eye in the world knows that you are here to marry me. My sister came here; even if you want to have an affair with someone, there is no need to climb on the gums when you don't even know the way the first night in the palace; let alone you know that the reason why you are allowed to stay in the palace is In order to facilitate my father's medical treatment, he will be there whenever he is called—excuse me, is there really a fool in this world who is so stupid that he ignores the above three points? Maybe there is, but a doctor who can know tens of thousands of herbal formulas by heart To be so mindless, hehe, I don’t believe it.” Jiang Wanyi suddenly raised his head because of his words, his expression was shocked, obviously he did not expect that this weird and unpredictable Third Prince Cheng would speak out to excuse him. Lin Su said: "In this case, why do you still..." Yi Fei raised a hand and interrupted him: "Why should I interrogate them in private? Of course - I just want to know, obviously there are so many things that don't make sense, and obviously there are countless reasons to justify, but why? ——Our Marquis Dong Bi didn’t say a word, and would rather be wronged? This is the most interesting thing that happened.” Jiang Chenyu felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, what Yi Fei said was right, this is the crux of the problem!Why did Concubine Luo want to wrong Jiang Wanyi?Why did Jiang Wanyi refuse to defend herself?What happened last night?Apart from the superficial, is there a bigger conspiracy? Her hands clenched involuntarily. Yifei turned sideways, looked at Concubine Luo and said, "My Lady, I don't know, can you explain my confusion?" Concubine Luo was trembling, she gritted her teeth, Yi Fei raised her eyebrows and smiled again: "Is there any enmity between your empress and Marquis Dong Bi? Do you want to wrong him so much?" "What, what, what?" Concubine Luo's eyes widened immediately. "If it wasn't for Marquis Dong Bi whom you sent someone to invite, would he still know the way to your Jade Embroidery Palace by himself?" "I, I... I just asked him to catch up..." "Oh, so you didn't talk enough at the dinner party, and you want to continue talking in the middle of the night?" Yi Fei squinted his eyes, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "My father has been ill for three years, and my mother is in the year of wolf and tiger, lonely. It's human nature to be impatient..." His voice was thin and his tone was weird, so when he said sarcasm, he was even more mean. Concubine Luo couldn't stand the humiliation, she turned pale, she glanced at Jiang Wanyi suddenly, and hissed: "You Believe him but don't believe me? Why should I ruin my reputation when I'm so good? I'm the emperor's favorite concubine..." Yi Fei interrupted her leisurely: "Ah, you forgot to add a key word - before the illness. Before my father was ill, he did love you the most, but since his illness, the harem concubine is useless, even if he is well. Now, it’s hard to say whether you will be lucky again, let alone a queen in the future.” "You! You, you..." Concubine Luo Gui couldn't refute, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down again. When there was a lot of chaos, the sound of chairs passing across the ground sounded sharply. When everyone turned their heads, it was Jiang Chenyu who stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked in front of Concubine Luo with an extremely elegant and calm posture. "I have a question, I would like to ask the imperial concubine." Yi Fei stared at her face with a smile: "Miss Ayu is willing to help me ask together, that would be great." Jiang Chenyu was condescending, looked at Concubine Luo with a calm expression, and said softly: "It was passed on by outsiders, it was seen by outsiders' eyes, I just want to ask Concubine, what did your eyes see?" Concubine Luo showed confusion. Jiang Chenyu smiled slightly, and her voice was even softer: "That is to say, since you and my senior brother have a skin-to-skin relationship, there should be some inhuman evidence to prove it?" As soon as she reminded her, Concubine Luo's eyes lit up immediately, she quickly turned her head to the two princes, and said with a sob: "Yu Guan, Yu Guan, there is a half-moon-shaped scar the size of a fingernail three inches below his waist!" As soon as this remark came out, everyone was moved. Three inches below the waist is already close to the most private part of a person's body, and she even knows that Jiang Wanyi has a scar! Jiang Chenyu said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, the imperial concubine used to be my senior brother's personal maid, right?" Then it's not surprising that I saw it when I was a child helping Jiang Wanyi bathe and dress. Unexpectedly, when Concubine Luo heard the words, she shook her head and said: "The scar is newly added, before... no, there was never..." "you sure?" "yes." Jiang Chenyu stared at her, and repeated slowly: "Are you sure?" Concubine Luo was puzzled, but still bit her lip and nodded solemnly: "Yes!" "Other than that?" "W-what else?" "Are there any other birthmark scars?" "This..." A flash of panic flashed in Concubine Luo's eyes, she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "The scene was too chaotic at that time, maybe there were still, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I don't remember..." "Very good." Jiang Chenyu smiled, "I hope you will remember what you said and the two 'yes' just now." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked slowly in front of Jiang Wanyi. Yi Feilinsu and the others stared at her intently, wondering if her next step would be to ask Jiang Wanyi to take off her clothes for a body check, when she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her hard—— "Snapped!" The extremely crisp and loud blasting sound echoed in the closed hall, shocking everyone, especially Lin Su, who immediately jumped up from his chair: "Who are you?" Jiang Chenyu looked at his trembling hands due to excessive force, and then at Jiang Wanyi who had been completely stunned and the red marks that quickly appeared on his face, tears slowly welled up in his eyes... "Brother...you, you...are you worthy of me?" Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, especially Jiang Wanyi, who stared at her blankly, as if she had been frozen. Before everyone could react, Jiang Chenyu stepped forward and grabbed his collar, angrily said: "What did you promise Master? You promised! You, you, you bastard!" A few traces of strange color flashed across Yi Fei's face, and his eyes turned from shallow to thick. "You promised Master to treat me well, but you have deceived me and betrayed me time and time again! This time, it is the Holy Majesty's will to come to Chengguo, okay, I don't care about you, it's just that you are unwilling, but she How can I explain it? I waited for you at the inn all night, I don’t know how anxious I am, but you are here to have a good time, you, you...how can you do this? You promised Master...but you treat me like this... I..." Jiang Chenyu's screams turned into choked sobs, one hand was tightly grasping Jiang Wanyi's collar, and the other was beating his chest desperately, pushing him back staggeringly. In the end, there was a sound of "chuck", and the collar suddenly split. She used too much force and fell backwards. Pan Fang hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Jiang Chenyu's body hadn't stabilized yet, her eyes were fixed somewhere, and she cried out. In fact, not only her, everyone else saw it too—— I saw that the collar of Jiang Wanyi had turned into two rags and hung awkwardly on his right shoulder. From the left shoulder to the bottom of his right chest, he was completely exposed. What surprised everyone was that there was a deep patch of shallow skin on the exposed skin. One piece, full of scarlet spots, spread all over his chest like splashed ink! When Concubine Luo saw it, she screamed in horror: "No, no! No...impossible! This is impossible, just now, it was clearly not there! No..." Jiang Chenyu pushed away Pan Fang who was supporting her, straightened her waist and said with a sneer: "No? It's really interesting, you know that my senior brother has a nail-sized scar three inches below his waist, but you don't know that he has such a big red spot on his body ..." "I, I..." Concubine Luo looked at Jiang Wanyi in a panic, "I didn't lie, I really didn't, I didn't, I didn't! I didn't..." "Could it be that you mean that the erythema appeared right now?" Jiang Chenyu lowered her face. "I, I, I...he, he, he..." Concubine Luo trembling violently, she suddenly climbed up and grabbed the hem of Linsu's robe, crying, "His Royal Highness, believe me, believe me me!" Linsu looked at her in disgust, as if looking at something unclean. It was Yi Fei who suddenly bent down and extended his hand to her. Concubine Luo raised her head hopefully like a drowning person seeing a piece of driftwood, only to see him grinning and saying, "I'll teach you an excuse, that is, when you and Dongbihou were in a storm, your posture was so violent that there was no time to take off your clothes." At once……" Concubine Luo's hope suddenly turned into despair, she looked at his hand, as if she saw a poisonous snake, she hurriedly rolled and crawled back to hide. Jiang Chenyu took a deep breath, took a few steps forward and said seriously: "Now, the empress's testimony against my senior brother is no longer tenable, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Yi Fei raised one eyebrow, and smiled evilly: "Of course we will continue to investigate." Seeing Jiang Chenyu's brows slightly wrinkled, he said again, "But, just investigate her." Then, he pointed to Concubine Luo Gui . "What about my senior brother?" "Of course it's what I should do." "Okay then, let's go back to the station." Just as Jiang Chenyu was about to turn around, Yi Fei blocked his hand: "Hey, did I tell you that you can leave?" The eyes of the two intersected, Jiang Chenyu stared at him without blinking, and said coldly: "You won't let us go?" Yifei pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes sparkled: "Where, I just want to remind you, what I mean by what I should do, I mean that Lord Lao Hou will treat my father's illness." "That's great, what I think I should do is to let my senior brother continue to treat His Majesty King Cheng's illness, but-there are too many gossips in this palace. Before the truth is found out, in order to avoid suspicion, the senior brother still returns to the post station Great stay." Yi Fei looked at her, and she also looked straight at him, and the two of them stared at him for a long time. Finally, Yi Fei's other eyebrow also raised, and he turned sideways to get out of the way. Jiang Chenyu said in a deep voice: "General Pan, bring senior brother, let's go." Saying that, without any hesitation, she brushed against Yifei, opened the closed door, and walked out. Outside, the sun was shining like a brocade, and it immediately hit her warmly, covering her all over. Even though the weather is so warm, but with the hands in the sleeves, the fingers are cold. Jiang Chenyu pursed the corners of her lips and walked quickly. After leaving the palace gate, she summoned Li Qing and brought Jiang Wanyi back to the station. All the way silent. Ten days later, Tian Jiu knelt in the imperial study and repeated the matter to Zhao Yin. Zhao Yin asked: "That is to say, Chen Yu used the medicine that Jiang Wanyi gave her to disguise herself?" "Yes. She pulled out the medicine plug first, and secretly hid it in one hand, then walked over and slapped Jiang Wanyi with the other hand, attracting everyone's attention, so that she could have some physical exchanges with him logically." Contact, and then by pulling the clothes, pour all the medicine into Jiang Wan's clothes, calculate the time, and tear his collar when the medicine takes effect, so that everyone can see the red spots on his body." Zhao Yin frowned and said, "She's so courageous, isn't she afraid that Lin Su and Yi Fei will see through her tricks?" "That's because she must have investigated in advance that neither Lin Su nor Yi Fei knew martial arts, so she used the cover of her sleeves to distract them by talking non-stop. The only one who found out was General Pan, and General Pan is one of his own." Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes: "Hmph, I really want to know what she would do if Han Qi was there that day." Tian Jiu smiled slightly: "But Han Qi was not there that day." "That's why her little trick succeeded." Zhao Yin mocked, tilting his head, "Then what? Did Yifei just let them go back like that?" "yes." Zhao Yin murmured: "So easy to let him go? Although Jiang Chenyu acted in such a show of resentment against women, strictly speaking, it was a sneaky change of concept--Luo Shi said that Jiang Wanyi had scars on her body, so she simply It is said that Jiang Wanyi has bigger scars on his body." "Therefore, it was necessary for her to ask Luo Shi repeatedly that she was not sure about it three times before. Because, when she asked Luo Che if he remembered that there were other scars, although Luo Che was also wary and gave an ambiguous answer, but in fact I have already fallen into her trap. Because, when everyone sees such a shocking red spot on Jiang Wanyi's body, they will naturally doubt Luo Shi's words - since she can see such a small scar, why can't she see such a big one? Madara? In this way, Roche's testimony is very unreliable." "But didn't it say that many palace people saw the two of them disheveled on the bed?" "But it's just on the bed with disheveled clothes." Zhao Yin crossed his fingers and said slowly: "That is to say, it is true that Jiang Wanyi was caught on Luo Shi's bed, but, except Luo Shi, no one can prove that they have committed adultery. Therefore, As long as Roche's testimony is overturned, the charges will not be convicted?" "yes." "Then did they really have sex after drinking?" Tian Jiu showed a strange look on his face, smiled ambiguously, then took out a note from his sleeve, and presented it respectfully. Zhao Yin reached out to take it, and after opening it to look at it, his face suddenly changed, and he jumped up and said, "It's so!" "yes." "Is this why Jiang Wanyi would rather be beheaded than open his mouth to defend himself?" "yes." Zhao Yin stretched out his hand suddenly, smashed the note, and smiled angrily: "Okay! Okay! One or two, all of them are like this. How dare you disobey me and hide it from me! Not even my will!" Take it to heart!" Tian Jiu fell to his knees and lowered his head silently. Zhao Yin's gaffe passed quickly, and finally took a deep breath, regained his composure and said: "I'm fine, you continue to talk, what happened afterwards? Did Jiang Chenyu do anything after returning to the station? And after she left , what did the three princes of Cheng Guo do?" Tian Jiu said in a low voice: "Naturally, there are actions..." After the carriage arrived at the post station, Jiang Chenyu got off the carriage without saying a word, and went straight into her bedroom. Pan Fang pushed Jiang Wanyi, who was still in a daze, and raised his chin in the direction of the bedroom, motioning for him to follow in. Jiang Wanyi understood what he meant, and stood there with a complicated expression for a long time, finally sighed, and finally opened the door went in. Inside the door, Jiang Chenyu sat quietly at the table, as if waiting for him, or just in a daze. Jiang Wanyi walked towards her step by step, and the sunlight filtered through the white gauze on the green window, outlining her silhouette, showing a faint brilliance.She is so bright, yet so gloomy. Jiang Wanyi stopped and spoke softly, "Give me your left hand..." Jiang Chenyu turned her face, the two people's eyes met, she slowly raised her left arm, the black cloak slid away, and the white plain sleeve fell down, revealing the left hand that had been tucked inside from the beginning to the end—— Scarlet, dark red, and blood-red color blocks are densely packed, clinging between the five fingers like a spider, and the raised veins are distributed around like old tree roots, each finger is twice as large as the original, red and swollen Crowded together, can't open at all. Just like that, Jiang Chenyu stretched out that ugly indescribable hand with an incomparably elegant posture, and smiled quietly and bit by bit. Blooming like a flower. Like a willow blowing in the wind. Like a shooting star across the quiet night sky. Like green springs gushing out of clear holes. Like all the beautiful things in this world, staring and smiling—— “三日后，我的这只手，会不会变成世间第一美手？” 江晚衣忍不住笑了，但一笑过后，却是感慨：“你真是大胆……”说着，从橱柜上取了药箱过去，坐下，为她上药。 碧绿色的药水一点点地涂在手上，于是那一块的肌肤就由红变浅，姜沉鱼扬了扬眉道：“原来这个还是可以洗掉的？” “嗯。”江晚衣仔仔细细地用棉球刷药，每条褶缝都不放过，低声道，“是药三分毒，你此次用得过量了些，若不早点洗掉，怕是不好。” “这种程度的损害，比起掉脑袋来，可轻多了。”姜沉鱼不以为意，把脸别向另一边，继续望着窗外的风景，若有所思。 于是，房间里就变得很安静，只有江晚衣为她上药时，偶尔发出的瓶罐碰撞和衣衫拂动的声响。 在那样的静谧中，心跳声就显得好清晰，江晚衣的表情变了又变，终于抬起头，直直地盯着她道：“你为什么不问我昨夜究竟发生了什么事？” 姜沉鱼淡淡道：“你宁可掉脑袋都不肯说，必定是有不能说的原因。” “如果是你问的话，也许……”江晚衣一字一字，仿佛很吃力地说道，“我愿意说。” 姜沉鱼转回头，静静地看了他一会儿，突道：“你知不知道我是谁？” 江晚衣的目光迟疑着，点了点头。 “你真的知道我是谁？” “嗯。”他声音轻轻，“你知道的，我……曾是公子的门客。” “你一早就知道我的真实身份，却什么都没有问过我。所以，”姜沉鱼冲他嫣然一笑，“现在，我也不会问你。”说到这里，她的声音也变得感慨了，“说穿了，我们其实都不过是别人手里的棋子，怎么走每一步，都不是自己所能决定的。既然如此，棋子何必难为棋子？你说对不对？” 江晚衣露出感激之色。 姜沉鱼反手轻轻地拍了拍他的手背：“所以，今日之事，只当是我还你易容药的人情，不必放在心上。不过，程国那边不会如此轻易就作罢的，下一步怎么办，你自己多想想吧。” “放心，我知道下一步该如何做。”江晚衣在说这句话时，虽然表情依然微带犹豫，但是目光却很坚定。这让她心中小小地惊讶了一下——这一切的一切，会不会是自己多管闲事了呢？也许，江晚衣所做的每一步都是为了达成某种状况而计划好了的，却被自己横加破坏了？ 姜沉鱼咬住下唇，看江晚衣的样子，在事情水落石出前，是不会再明言了，一念至此不禁有些后悔刚才为何故作大度不打听真切，但话都说出口了，也不好再变卦，当即笑了笑，转移话题道：“不过师兄，现在恐怕所有人都知道我们之间有私情了，你想娶颐殊公主，可就更难了哦。” 江晚衣垂下眼睛，讷讷道：“谁要娶她。” “啊？你对那位公主就真一点兴趣都没有吗？”她故意打趣，“虽然说是皇上希望你娶她，但颐殊可真的是个大美人哦！” 江晚衣眼底闪过一丝阴霾，似乎想起了什么，冷笑道：“美人她还不够格，倒是祸水的本事……”说到这里，突然收口，神色变得更加复杂。 姜沉鱼目露询问之色。 江晚衣幽幽一叹：“君子不议人短长，我失言了。” 姜沉鱼眸中的好奇转为明晰，逐渐亮了起来。虽然并不明白江晚衣为何对颐殊有如此成见，但见他即使满怀不忿却依旧不肯道人是非，由微见著，这位神医的人品真是不错。政治龌龊，然而，漫漫旅程之中，能遇见这样一个人，又何尝不是一种幸运？ 江晚衣盖上药箱，起身走过去将窗户打开，外面天空湛蓝，风中传来草木的芬芳，他凝望着那些平凡却又美丽的风景，缓缓道：“我此次来程国，只为一件事——为程王治病。不管其他缘由牵制如何复杂，对我来说，人命始终重于一切。你出身名门，锦衣玉食，也许并不知道外面的世界里，其实，有很多很多人，都是看不起大夫的。” 姜沉鱼静静地听着，没有插话。 果然，江晚衣继续说了下去，仿佛是在倾诉，又仿佛只是在自言自语，并不在意听众是谁：“我曾见过很多老人衣衫褴褛遍体鳞伤地在街头苟延残喘，也见过孩子们光着脚流着鼻涕在雨天奔跑，那些贫民窟中衣不蔽体面黄肌瘦的人们，他们瘦骨嶙峋疾病泛滥……那些景象我见得太多，我还见过一个少女抱着她最好的朋友在雪地里大哭，只因为她的朋友生了病，却无钱医治……所以，我对自己说，既然老天让我生于行医世家，让我一出世就享有最优渥的行医条件，我就要以自己的绵薄之力为众生做些什么，我不愿像父亲那样只伺候权贵，我要救我所能救的每一个人，并且对那些生活困苦的病人说——我为你们看病，不要钱。” 姜沉鱼的手慢慢地握紧了。 “于是我与父亲争吵，离家，行走乡里，风餐露宿，无论有多辛苦，都默默承受，因为那是我自己选择的道路，我就要坚持着走下去。”江晚衣说到这里，脸上并无得意之色，反而笼罩着深深的一种悲哀，那悲哀是如此鲜明，以至于姜沉鱼觉得他的背影看上去，显得更加萧条。 “可是，理想……原来终归，只能称其为理想。这个世界，也并不是只要你够坚定，够勇敢，就可以实现一些事情……”他回过身，看着她，惨然一笑，“所以，我最终还是回来了。” “你觉得自己回来错了？” 江晚衣摇了摇头：“无关错与对、是或非。而是我发现，有时候即使你只是很纯粹地想救一个人，最后都会变成非常复杂的一件事情。” 姜沉鱼明白他的意思。诚如他所说的，他之所以来程国，只是想为铭弓治病，但是其中所牵扯到的那些错综复杂的关系，却无不一一制约着他束缚着他，让他觉得不堪承受。 其实，她何尝不是如此。 还有潘方，还有随行的这二百八十人，哪个，不也是如此呢。 “你……能不能告诉我，你为什么要回来？”她入局，是因为一道圣旨，无可抗拒。可他不是，在他入宫之前，皇帝根本不知道有这样一个人的存在，又是什么，将他推上了这个风头浪尖，再难将息？ 是公子吗？ 是公子寻江晚衣回来的，是公子逼了他么？ 姜沉鱼忽然觉得，这个问题对她，竟非常重要，重要到冥冥中，像有一根看不见的丝线，把过往慢慢掀开，而这一次，看见的，不再是之前粉饰太平的模样。 她的手握紧、松开，再握紧，再松开，如此周而复始好几次后，最终还是问出了口：“是因为……公子找你，所以……你不能拒绝？” 江晚衣的眼睛黯了下去，令她的心也跟着为之一沉——难道真是因为姬婴？ 谁料，浓密的睫毛扬起，清润如水般的声音，倾吐出的却是另一个答案：“我回去，是因为我要救曦禾。” 姜沉鱼一惊，诧异抬头，见江晚衣握紧双手，身子竟在微微发抖，显然，他自己也很清楚，这句话一旦说出来，会产生怎样惊世骇俗的后果。 她沉默了一会儿，才开口道：“你应该称呼她为夫人。” “夫人……”江晚衣脸上起了一系列的变化，有迷茫，有酸楚，有歉然，最后，笑得沧桑，“也许你们看她，是璧国的夫人、圣上的宠妃，但对我来说，她就是曦禾，是当年抱着朋友的尸体在雪中大哭不肯松手的那个孩子……” 姜沉鱼没想到，他与曦禾竟然还有那样的交往，而且，很明显曦禾对他影响至深，深到让一个少年从此立志成为不收诊金的名医。 “你……”她忽然不知该说些什么。 说他错了？说他不该对皇帝的妃子还抱有这样的奢念？ 但是，她又有什么资格说他？ 她自己何尝不是身为皇妃，却心系他人？ 是人就有私心，江晚衣的私心是曦禾；而她的私心，是姬婴。 房内一片静谧，正在尴尬之际，有人敲了敲门。姜沉鱼连忙起身去开门，见外面站着一个驿站守卫，手捧书柬道：“三殿下来的书信，吩咐当面呈交姑娘。” So fast?他们前脚刚回驿站，颐非后脚就派人送信来？搞什么？ 姜沉鱼接过书柬，打开，见上面行辞很简单，大意是有要事相谈，请至三皇子府一叙。内容没有问题，但是署名，却只填了她一个。 也就是说，颐非只请她一人去。 Why?如果有关昨夜发生的事情的话，应该把他们三个都请过去才对吧？为什么单单只点名于她？那个刁钻阴毒的颐非，到底葫芦里卖的什么药？ 不过，不去也是不成的。 罢罢罢，且看看他到底玩什么花样也好。 想到这里，她合上书柬，含笑答道：“有劳回禀殿下，容我梳洗更衣后就去。”
