MTL - The Words of the Number One-Chapter 7 layout
Xia Wan once told me that all eight of them know martial arts, and Mo Xiao and Nan Su's kung fu is the best, especially Nan Su's lightness kung fu. When I called Nan Su to stop, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she stood still hesitantly.
She is not a talkative person, and I usually don't take the initiative to find someone to talk to. This seems to be the first time I have talked to her. When she looked into my eyes, she naturally looked down on me, but she was more curious.
I asked her for help, she was a little hesitant, but she quickly agreed after hearing me that it was in the office.
Just when I was about to say goodbye, she stopped me and said with some hesitation, "Well... how do you know I'm Nan Su?"
It seems that Mo Xiao also asked me this question, I thought about it, and said with a smile: "I can tell you, but you can't tell your sister Mo Xiao, how about it?"
She bit her lip, and finally shook her head: "Forget it." Then she turned and left.
Sure enough, the relationship between Mo Xiao and Nan Su was too good to hide, and Nan Su was a very honest girl.
It's nice to have loved ones you can trust with all your heart. Sometimes I think about my period, and I don’t know if I’m doing well without her.
In half a month, the relationship between Su Cheng and Ji Yu became more and more intimate. Su Cheng was there almost every time I served Ji Yu.
Everyone in the world knows that Zhou is the source of etiquette. The Zhou royal family pays attention to etiquette and etiquette. Today's Zhou Tianzi is also a gentleman and benevolent ruler who sets an example for all countries. Ji Yu was born in the Zhou royal family. On weekdays, he travels around the world, and he has local customs, customs, legends and stories at his fingertips. Su Cheng always focuses on him when he talks, and love slowly overflows from his eyes.
I looked at them and thought that maybe when girls fall in love with someone, they will always become extra soft, even if they are as proud as Su Teng.
At the same time, Zichen found out that He Xin, the maidservant of the Chu family, had an affair with the guard of the prime minister's family, and obtained the letter evidence that He Xin leaked news about the Houfu to the guard. But He Xin was only willing to admit that he had an affair with the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and refused to admit that he leaked news about the Hou Mansion to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She cried and hugged Chu's leg, and intermittently said that she just fell in love with someone, and didn't care about his identity and background, and she never secretly gave him news from the waiter's mansion. Chu's face was unbearable at first, and she burst into tears after hearing He Xin's words. She held He Xin and looked at Xiang Shaoya with red eyes, and said, "I believe in He Xin."
Chu's is also a temperamental person, and it's too late for someone else to get rid of the relationship at this moment, but she stands up to protect He Xin.
Xiang Shaoya frowned and told Chu Shi not to mess around, but somehow he poked Chu Shi's sore spot, she shouted: "I've been messing around with you for many years, I really don't want to mess around anymore, let Zi Chen accompany you! "
As soon as these words were meaningful, Xiang Shaoya's face immediately turned pale, and Zi Chen didn't speak. Chu knew she had made a slip of the tongue but didn't want to care about it, she turned her head and cried with her heart in her arms.
Fortunately, in order not to disturb the old lady, this was a secret confrontation, only Xiang Shaoya, Ji Yu, me, Zichen Chu and He Xin participated, and the scene was not too ugly.
Due to Chu's begging Xiang Shaoya to lock up He Xin first, he thanked Ji Yu for helping him find the traitor and left. Zi Chen escorted me back to my room, her expression was not very good either.
He told me not to publicize what I heard today, I looked at him and said with a smile: "I guessed it a long time ago, the relationship between you and the general."
"Both your parents died when you were ten years old, and you were sold into the Hou's mansion by your aunt. Since then, you have always been with Lord Hou. At that time, my wife had not passed away. I heard that she didn't like you, but Lord Hou always protected you. When you were fourteen, Lord Hou took you to the battlefield. When you were sixteen, you led Qingqi thousands of miles to rescue Lord Hou in distress. From then on, Lord Hou trusted you very much and was inseparable from you."
After a pause, I said: "On the Guanjing Pavilion, every time the fireworks are held, Master Hou will be the first to look at you. If you laugh, he will laugh too. For a person like Master Hou, raising a prostitute Tong is really nothing, but he used the Chu family as a cover to hide it for you, which shows that he is very attentive to you. In this way, the Chu family's jealousy and resentment towards you, and the general's extraordinary love for you have all explained."
Zichen stopped in his tracks and listened to my words, his eyes slowly dimmed from surprise, and those eyes that were always bright and energetic became bottomless. At the end, he smiled and said, "Master Ji Yu's maidservant is really powerful."
I also looked at him with a smile: "That's why you are deliberately trying to exclude me from the investigation?"
"…I do not understand what you mean."
"I would pass by the garden every day during the application process. On that day, I met Mrs. Zhang and the second lady fell into the water at the same time. I became the only witness of Mrs. Zhang. If I really testified for Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang would be eager to see me again. After a few days of making a fuss, Master Hou has a dispassionate temperament and hates house fights the most. I was involved in house fights, and even if I want to come, Master Hou doesn’t want me to participate in the investigation. In this way, you can investigate alone and then charge the person you want to be charged with. It's on, isn't it?" I said slowly.
I have almost never been valued this much, and I was even a little flattered to realize that this bureau was targeting me. In order to avoid further incidents, I went straight to Zichen and pretended that my suspicion was someone else, so that he could relax his vigilance.
Zichen looked at me silently, the moonlight was a bit groggy today, he stood in the darkness and was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
I looked at him like this and smiled slightly: "You don't have to be so nervous, I know you are the real traitor, didn't I also see you make a scapegoat? What did I say from the beginning to the end? You don't have to think about it Kill me to silence, Young Master Ji Yu also knows."
He said coldly: "Don't slander me, do you have evidence?"
"I asked someone to follow you, and she saw that you handed over the forged letter evidence to the guards of the prime minister's mansion."
"One sided words."
"Oh?" I walked two steps into him and looked into his cloudy eyes: "Then do you think Lord Hou believes in Mr. Jiyu or in you? Do you dare to bet, can you afford to lose?"
There was silence between us for a moment, and there was no sound in the empty corridor. He was no longer the bright and innocent young man, and he was terrifyingly deep. If Zi Kou saw Zi Chen like this, he would be very sad.
"What do you want?" He finally said, "Don't expose it to Lord Hou but negotiate with me. What do you want to do?"
"For my son and I, it doesn't matter who is the real traitor, as long as it works, it's good. We didn't detain you on the spot and got all the stolen goods to show our sincerity. Why don't we make a deal?"
I looked at Zichen and smiled slightly.
Zikou was really sad when she found out Zichen's real identity. She lay on the bed and cried for a long time, sobbing and almost out of breath. I sat on the edge of the bed and patted her on the back to help her breathe.
In fact, she didn't say a few words to Zichen, and she had longing for him purely based on a kind of fantasy. Xia Wan told me that Zikou is often like this, she is easy to fall in love with one side but forgets it quickly. Before long, she might not even remember who Zichen was.
Such a child, I don't know whether it is affectionate or ruthless - Xia Wan said so.
"So Zichen agreed?" She asked while sniffling.
She finally accepted the fact that Zichen was Lord Hou's lover, and began to ask the following things.
I patted her on the back and said slowly, "He has no other choice."
"Then he is not very loyal to the prime minister."
"He concealed his identity and entered the Marquis's Mansion since he was a child, so he doesn't have much affection for the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't betray the Prime Minister because his family is still in the hands of the Prime Minister, and secondly, he likes Lord Hou too much."
Zikou raised her teary eyes and looked at me suspiciously: "He likes Lord Hou? Then he's still been a spy, so he should confess earlier."
I patted her on the head and said with a smile, "No."
This is also Zichen's sadness.
If he had no love for Xiang Shaoya and confessed to Xiang Shaoya earlier, with Xiang Shaoya's demeanor and his life-saving grace to Xiang Shaoya, Xiang Shaoya would probably help him save his family, At the same time, regardless of previous suspicions, he still kept him by his side.
It's a pity that he likes Xiang Shaoya, the closer the relationship is, the less room for deceit and concealment. He had lied to Xiang Shaoya, and if he confessed now, even if he saved his life, he would not be able to continue to be Xiang Shaoya's lover.
He was not willing to lose Xiang Shaoya, this was Zi Chen's dead end. The more he dared not confess, he had to do more things for the prime minister, and the accumulated deceit made it even more difficult for him to confess.
Before I caught He Xin, I told Ji Yu about the investigation of Zi Chen, so Ji Yu decided to follow the trend to push He Xin out first, and then try to threaten and lure Zi Chen.
At that time, he said with a leisurely smile: "Be careful and suspicious, if you want him to help you, you must give him the conditions that will most impress him."
For Zichen, that condition was Xiang Shaoya. So when I agreed to help rescue his family and concealed his identity from Xiang Shaoya, his eyes lit up despite hesitation.
This is an offer he cannot refuse.
Zikou sighed faintly after hearing this, she turned over and lay on the bed and whispered, "Now I think sister, what you said is very reasonable."
"what?"
"It's good to have no one you like, otherwise you will be sad and in a dilemma, just like Zi Chen."
I laughed, Zikou sighed for a while, then looked at me: "Sister Azhi, your former sweetheart, why do you like him?"
My sweetheart?
I was startled, and then chuckled: "Actually, it's nothing special. It's just that I met him when I was a child. He told me a story for three days and taught me to sing a tune. That was really a long time ago."
When my biological mother passed away, it happened to be a big banquet for my father's birthday. The palace was busy and no one cared about my whereabouts. When I was wandering around, I met him. His name was A Yao. He was a piano boy brought by the guests. He got lost in the backyard with a guqin that was taller than a person.
I didn't say who I was, just told him my biological mother had passed away and he was very sad for me. He asked me why I wasn't sad, and I said because I couldn't.
The birthday banquet of the lord of a country is auspicious, and bad luck is the most taboo, so my mother forbids me to cry.
He put the piano down and asked me if I wanted to listen to the music. My mother liked the song "Taoyao" very much, and I asked him to teach me how to sing it.
I was born with tone deafness, and I learned such a simple song for three days in a row. In my 20-odd years of life, I have only learned such a song.
Maybe it is, no one is as patient and meticulous as him, correcting each sound over and over again, and he doesn't dislike my stupidity.
Zikou looked at me as if she was waiting for the continuation of my "a long, long time ago". I thought about it and said, "Maybe before him, no one was so gentle to me, and no one praised me well."
Even my biological mother never praised me, she was originally an actress, she came from a humble background but she has some talents, but I can't teach her how to do it. She has an optimistic and unrestrained temperament, but she doesn't scold me but often laughs at me.
As time went by, I recalled that she was really a nice person, and she also loved me. About being a first time mother and not quite knowing how to do it well. I don't know that even a dull person like me wants to be praised.
Zikou's eyes lit up, and she didn't know what it was associated with, and she looked longingly: "Ah, gentle, I also like gentle men. He is so gentle to you, he must like you!"
I couldn't help laughing, a little loudly. She pouted and looked at me. I said: "He is a gentle person, he will be gentle to everyone, not because I have anything special."
What's so special about me?
Probably because it was very dull and weird. After learning a song for three days, my mother didn't cry when she died, but she cried when she finally learned "Taoyao".
