Chapter 75 Can’t let her go
Because of his kindness to Hou Jing, he allowed this Eastern Wei rebel to march all the way from Shouyang to Jiankang on his kindness.
Because of his kindness to the rebellious princes of the Xiao family, when Jiankang was finally imprisoned, none of the sons he had loved and indulged rushed to rescue him.
Xiao Xian suddenly remembered that Xiao Jinyu once said: "Sometimes being too kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself or the people around you."
So is she reminding herself not to be too kind when facing enemies in the future?
"Living one life is not a sign of mercy. Living a hundred lives is not a sign of mercy. To save all sentient beings is to be a sign of mercy! Uncle Xian, please remember this sentence!"
Xiao Jinyu said, looking at Xiao Xian with a meaningful smile.
At this time, Xiao Xian was greatly shocked. He felt that this sentence had been echoing in his mind for a long time. In fact, it was only at the Qingtan gathering not long after that he fully understood the true meaning of Xiao Jinyu's words.
"Little lady, there is someone looking for you outside..."
With a whoosh, an arrow flew past like a meteor, hitting the bull's-eye with its feathers dangling from the tail.
Feng Dong was startled, looked at Xiao Jinyu who had stretched the bow string to the full moon, and sighed: "I'm scared to death. I didn't expect that my archery skills are so good, little lady!"
Xiao Jinyu smiled and asked, "Who is looking for me?"
Since the commotion at Ascott, her name and her deeds have become the most talked about topics in Jiankang City, and there was already an endless stream of people coming to visit early this morning, some of whom came to make friends. Anyone who came to seek medical treatment or even proposed marriage was scolded and turned away by Fenghuang. Therefore, when Xiao Jinyu woke up, everything was as calm as if nothing had happened.
So for Xiao Jinyu, this was the first person besides Li Mi and Cui Heng to visit her.
"That man claims to be the Prince of Xin'an County, Chen Shizhong!" Feng Dong replied.
As soon as he heard Chen Shizhong's name, Fenghuang's expression changed and he said, "Brother Qing, I'll go out and deal with it!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded, and Phoenix ran out of the door. He saw that it was indeed Chen Bogu with a smile on his face, waving the cattail leaf fan, and behind him was an extravagant soft sedan with half rolls of Bao Ying Feng covered bead curtains. Two attendants carried it. A huge black box is in front of the courtyard.
"Chen Shizhong, what are you doing here?" Fenghuang asked angrily.
Chen Bogu gave the gift and said politely with a smile: "Bogu also came here to admire the lady's talent. Today I am not seeking medical treatment. I just want to give the lady a little gift to express Bogu's admiration for her talent. I would like to see my wife give me a cup of noodles. How about taking a trip to the painting boat on the Qinhuai River with Bogu and comparing my painting skills?"
Before he finished speaking, Fenghuang sneered and said: "Chen Shizhong, don't you think you are a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken?"
"Boy, who are you scolding? Our husband is the king of Xin'an County and his servant!"
The two followers hurriedly took a step forward, rolling up their sleeves as if they wanted to hit someone.
Chen Bogu was not very angry, but said: "Little husband, don't get me wrong, I am different from my younger brother. I just admire the lady's talent."
"Who doesn't know that you and your brother-in-law, one loves to hunt pheasants, and the other loves to dig graves, are just like dog shit and straw, working together in a conspiracy, I believe you are a ghost!"
This scolding froze the hypocritical smile on Chen Bogu's face. It wasn't that the scolding was unpleasant. In other words, sarcasm and sarcasm were his strengths. There was no need to be in trouble with a child. But the words "digging graves" and "complicit in conspiracy" had to attract his attention.
It is not a fact that everyone in the world knows that he has a close relationship with King Shixing. To be precise, he has good friends with every prince in the Chen family. This is the barrier for him to hide his identity.
It is not known to everyone that King Shiheung loved to rob tombs. In this era of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, robbing tombs and digging up graves was not an honorable thing.
But how did this kid know?
“Boy, you not only scolded our King Xin’an, but you also dared to scold King Shiheung. I think you don’t want to live anymore!”
The two attendants roared and were about to rush forward, but Chen Bogu suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Just then, Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Xian walked out together. At this time, Xiao Jinyu did not change her appearance, but wore a curtain, as if she was about to go out.
"Little lady, are you going out?" He asked with another smile on his face.
"Yeah!" Xiao Jinyu nodded.
"I wonder what's wrong, ma'am? Can someone help me?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "Go and recruit some guards to beat dogs!"
Chen Bogu's heart was excited, and the smile on his face did not diminish.
"Oh, then Chen can really help with this matter. No need to recruit. How about I send some of my ladies to take care of the hospital?"
"Do you dare to take what you gave me?" Phoenix asked.
Chen Bogu laughed and did not dare to say anything. Xiao Jinyu walked straight out with Xiao Xian, followed closely by Fenghuang and Fengdong.
"Chen Shizhong should take these gifts back! By the way, tell His Highness King Shixing to think about Xiao Yun before doing anything."
Chen Bogu's smile froze and he finally stopped laughing.
…
"What did you say? That little lady said that before asking me to do anything, think about Xiao Yun?"
At this time, in the palace of Prince Shixing, Chen Shuling was enjoying singing and dancing. Dozens of beautiful concubines were dancing and dancing in Pu gauze. Their snow-white skin was looming, and among them, the most alluring concubine was lying in his arms. , drinking the wine he fed.
When I heard the news from Chen Bogu, I was so shocked that I stood up suddenly. Mei Ji in his arms also fell to the ground and retreated in panic.
"Think about Xiao Yun..."
Chen Shuling twitched his lips: "Oh, how is Xiao Yun doing now?"
"I heard that I was stuffed with a large pill yesterday and almost choked to death. But fortunately, my body is generally better now, but there seems to be something wrong in my heart." Chen Bogu replied.
Early this morning, he went to see Xiao Yun. He heard from the doctor Liu Lu that the wound was indeed gradually healing, but Xiao Yun's whole person had changed and he had become very timid and timid, especially when he saw a woman, let alone touching her. After a while, I was so scared that I hid even if I even took a look at it.
"He was made like this by a man. Why is he afraid of women?" Chen Shuling was very puzzled.
"This...I don't know."
"So, what this little lady means is that if I want to do something to her, she will make me as weak as Xiao Yun. Am I as timid and cowardly as Xiao Yun?"
Chen Shuling snorted disdainfully.
"Of course not, Your Majesty."
Chen Bogu chatted.
"Then what are you afraid of? Since she said that, I will do something to her to see what she can do to me?"
Chen Bogu lowered his head and listened without answering.
He then heard him say: "I see that you can't invite me. Isn't it time for you to take advantage of this?"
Chen Bogu smiled bitterly and reminded him inappropriately: "My lord, you like to rob tombs, and she knows it too!"
"How does she know? Does she know things like a god?"
"Perhaps what the prince said yesterday was heard by the two of them." Chen Bogu explained carefully.
Chen Shuling's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Then we can't let her go even more!"
…
The news that Xiao Jinyu wanted to be admitted to the nursing home spread quickly, and Prince Lanling, who was in the embassy, naturally heard the news.
"Prince, that boy scolded the Prince of Xin'an and Prince Shixing like shit, and they were colluding with each other. This kid's mouth was too sharp. It was like a knife. He stabbed Chen Shizhong until he had no face to face and had nowhere to escape. "
Lu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Prince. I told you that the young lady is not so gullible, so she just asked Chen Bogu to carry back the box full of gifts."
"By the way, she is in the nursing home now. Otherwise, we can arrange for two of our own people to go in. While protecting her closely for the county prince, we can also get news about her faster and more accurately."
Gao Changgong frowned and replied in a deep voice: "No, do you think she won't be able to find out? Since she dares to spread the news about the nursing home, she is not afraid that someone will take the opportunity to bury her spy."
"Prince, do you know her so well?" Lu Yu was very surprised.
"Then just wait and see!"
