Chapter 200 What is the relationship between you and Xinbi?
The horse was galloping, the winding road was winding, and the cool and moist wind blew in front of her face. Liang Jiang's eyes couldn't help but light up.
There was actually a lotus pond in front of him.
It is when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. On the blue waves, the lotus leaves are crowded together, the lotus shadows are swaying, and the breeze carries fragrance.
In the center of the lake, there is a pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge is winding and at the end is a vermillion lacquer pavilion with stone tables and benches.
Under the lotus leaves, koi carp play in the water, and weeping willows cling to the shore, listening to the noise, it is like a pure place far away from the fireworks of the world.
Not far from the lotus pond, there are several sparse thatched cottages. Under the eaves, there are a few red lanterns. Smoke curls from the chimneys, and the aroma of delicious food overpowers the moisture of the lotus pond.
Gu Xizhi got off his horse and stretched out his hand towards Liang Jiang.
Liang Jiang looked at him warily: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Xizhi didn't answer. Seeing that she was motionless on the horse, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hold you down?"
Liang Jiang knew that he could do it, so he got off his horse in a hurry. In a moment of panic, he missed the stirrup.
Gu Xizhi's big hands immediately grabbed her waist, lifted her up, and poked her into the ground like a tree.
Liang Jiang's face became hot again.
Today, Gu Xizhi seems to have taken the wrong medicine for teasing him everywhere.
When the hut owner saw the guest, he immediately came over to greet him. He seemed to have met Gu Xizhi and greeted him very warmly: "I have met the young master. This must be your lady, right?"
Gu Xizhi actually nodded: "Yes, I brought Zhuo Jing here to try the boss's cooking. According to the old rules, the fat fish just caught is half spicy and half stewed with tofu.
Also, my wife likes sweet food, so the boss cut some sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root, served a plate of lotus cake, and picked a few lotus pods for snacks. "
The boss responded happily and pointed to the pavilion: "You two sit down first, and plum wine and buckwheat tea will be here right away."
Gu Xizhi nodded, Liang Jiang hid behind him and pinched his waist quietly: "You are telling nonsense, who is your wife?"
Gu Xizhi felt the pain and took a breath: "If I don't call you ma'am, I'm afraid someone will misunderstand that I'm here to have an affair."
"Bah, you brought me here just to treat me to dinner?"
"Otherwise? What else do you think this king can do?"
Liang Jiang sighed: "Then you can't just say it? You have to, you have to..."
I was at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe it.
Gu Xi answered in a narrow voice, "Isn't it right to rob a common woman by force?"
"that is!"
Gu Xizhi chuckled: "It's a good idea, I'll be the wife of Yazhai."
He was actually teasing himself!
Liang Jiang said angrily: "Did you eat something wrong today? I stayed up most of the night and was very tired, and you still use me to make fun of me."
Gu Xizhi was in a good mood today. The unchanging coldness on his face had faded away, and his eyebrows were very fresh and vivid.
He even grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, and stepped onto the pontoon first.
"The King of Japan has something I can't wait to tell you today. After you finish your meal, I will send you back to the Duke's Mansion to rest immediately."
I have to say, there is no one around in this pavilion, it is really a good place to talk.
Liangjiang also followed him into the pavilion. The boss served all the food and wine before retreating.
Gu Xizhi picked up the wine flask and filled the two glasses in front of him.
Liang Jiang asked in surprise: "Don't you know how to drink?"
Gu Xizhi corrected him seriously: "It's not that I don't know how to drink, it's just that I don't want to drink it. The plum wine here is very good."
Liang Jiang took the cup and took a sip. The wine was quite strong.
The fish cooked by the shop here is also delicious, spicy and spicy, which makes my mouth tremble. I can't help but drink two more glasses of wine, and the fatigue is gone.
Then he asked: "You brought me here today. Do you have something to say?"
Gu Xizhi gave her a piece of glutinous rice lotus root: "I've been holding it in for several days, and I feel angry. I want to know, why have you refused to pay attention to me these days?" "No," Liang Jiang concealed: "You are a high-ranking prince. , How dare I not be big or small?”
Gu Xizhi just raised his eyelids and glanced at her, his waist and eyes still hurt from being pinched by her.
Liang Jiang himself changed his words with a smile: "You and Miss Jian are about to get married. I always have to have some sense of boundaries with the prince."
Gu Xizhi raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"
Liang Jiang hesitated for a moment: "On the day Tong Shouliang committed suicide, I was summoned to the palace by the emperor."
"I know, my imperial brother even rewarded you with snacks from the imperial kitchen."
He is well-informed and knows everything.
"After I came out from the emperor's place, I saved a person."
"who?"
"She said that she used to be from the emperor's palace, and her title was Xin's concubine."
Then he raised his face secretly, and Gu Xizhi's expression instantly became very subtle.
"She made a mistake and was deprived of her title by my royal brother. Now she is just a palace maid responsible for sweeping the floors."
It turned out that he knew about this.
Liang Jiang tried again: "She looks very pitiful. I don't know what mistake she made."
"You don't know?" Gu Xizhi's voice rose and sounded probing.
Liang Jiang said dryly: "I don't know her, how can I know her?"
"An assassin entered her bedroom. She was disheveled at the time, so there were some rumors. My brother, the emperor, naturally has to take the royal family's face into consideration."
Sure enough, it was because of what happened that night.
Liang Jiang, who felt guilty, hesitated whether he should continue to ask, and remained silent for a while.
Gu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You seem to be very interested in her affairs."
"Really?" Liang Jiang raised his face and said, "I just feel sorry for her."
The expression on Gu Xizhi's face was indifferent: "There must be something hateful about this poor person. She is just reaping the consequences."
Liang Jiang also looked at him calmly: "She said that she was confused for a moment and made a big mistake. I am also very curious, what is the dispute between her and you, the prince?"
Gu Xizhi's face was cold, and he slowly raised his lips: "That day, she screamed assassin, which alerted the palace people. Then, she told my imperial brother, the man who broke into her room that night and wanted to do something wrong to her. It’s this king.”
Liang Jiang's hand trembled, the wine glass in his hand tipped over, and a piece of plum wine spilled.
She hurriedly held up the wine glass and wiped the wine with a handkerchief, but her heart was full of doubts.
That night, the man who broke into Xinbi's room was indeed Gu Xizhi.
Why did Xinbi want to expose him? This doesn't do her any good.
There seems to be some conspiracy in this.
Liang Jiang asked: "What happened next?"
"She made a conclusive statement, accusing me of being drunk and plotting against her. Thanks to the palace officials who heard her cry for help and arrived, I fled in a hurry and failed to succeed.
And I did leave the banquet because I was drunk, so no one can testify for me. "
"Then where were you then?" Liang Jiang blurted out, tentatively.
Gu Xizhi stared into her eyes and said word by word, "I was indeed in her bedroom at that time."
"Then you..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xizhi tapped his forehead with his finger.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."
Liang Jiang hesitated: "Then what do you think I am thinking?"
