Chapter 163 Another confrontation, full of dangers
Xiao Jinyu also felt the sound of wind coming from the air. When Gao Changgong shouted to move away, she was already moving back. The arrow passed right in front of her eyes and hit the corner of the eaves with a snap.
Gao Changgong was in shock, his sparkling eyes suddenly filled with joy.
Fenghuang was frightened and was already running towards her direction in the Tongque Tower, chasing the arrow.
This scene happened so fast that the whole audience was stunned and stunned. It took a while before Gao Zhan came back to his senses and shouted: "Where is the leading general? Let me check quickly. Who is here?" Shoot a secret arrow?"
Gao Anagong came out of the forbidden army, raised his hands to Gao Zhan and said: "Your Majesty, I am here, I will go and check immediately!"
"Go quickly!"
"Wait!" Gao Changgong immediately stopped him and said to Gao Zhan in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, in order to show fairness, my people must also go with him to investigate!"
"What does Chang Gong mean by this? You don't believe me?" Gao Zhan said displeased.
"It's not that I don't believe in Your Majesty, I don't believe in General Gao Anagong!"
It was only after Gao Anagong flattered his attendants, Shikai and Lu Lingxuan that they put kind words in Gao Zhan's ears, and was promoted to the position of leading general. To put it harshly, this person can be regarded as Lu Lingxuan's. A lackey, even a henchman!
Having been told so directly by Gao Changgong that his character could not be trusted, Gao Ana's face stiffened and he was slightly sullen, but he did not dare to speak in front of the emperor.
Gao Zhan was also a little surprised, as if he didn't expect him to say this, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I know you love your beloved wife and want to catch the murderer for her and seek justice, so I will send your cronies to fight with this person." Let’s go investigate together!”
"yes!"
Gao Changgong immediately passed the message to Lu Yu, who conveyed it to Zhao Wu, Yang Zhi and others.
The heavy rain fell, and the Bronze Bird Stage became lively again. A group of ministers supported Emperor Gao Zhan and hid in the palace to take shelter from the rain. Discussions started again, with some joy and horror, some praising and admiring Princess Lanling, and some expressing their admiration for Princess Lanling. The joy of the rain falling on the fertile fields and the hope of autumn harvest, and the anger of the people behind the scenes.
"Princess Lanling has just prayed for rain to relieve the severe drought in our country, but the thieves plotted to kill her. This matter must not be let go, otherwise the people's will will be ruined!" Li Mi shouted again in the crowd. stand up!
"Yes, we must find out the murderer and avenge the princess!"
"Who said that if it rains, she must be the one who asked for it?"
At this time, Lu Lingxuan drank without being outdone.
"She is not the only one praying for rain on this bronze bird platform!"
"Who can tell that this rain must be what she asked for?"
During her repeated questioning, surprise appeared on the faces of the ministers.
Princess Lanling is not the only one?
Who else?
Gao Zhan was about to speak when he looked up and saw another white-robed girl dressed almost the same as Xiao Jinyu on the observation deck at the highest point of the Tongque Tower.
The girl in white robe also covered her veil, her eyes were clear, and she looked like Pingting!
When Xiao Jinyu turned around, she saw the girl in white robe. Although she didn't know how she got on the bronze bird stage or when she appeared behind her, she recognized the girl at a glance as Zheng Yue!
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Jinyu asked, sensing that she had bad intentions.
"I just want to come and see you, to see how outstanding and amazing you are. To make Chang Gong so devoted to you, even if I lower my status and marry into Prince Lanling's palace, and take the position of right lady, he won't do it. willing!"
"He actually cares about you so much. He cares that even if there is another woman around him, he is afraid that you will be sad and sad. But he doesn't care at all about my sadness and sadness!"
"Obviously I met him first, Xiao Jinyu, why did you appear in his life? If it weren't for you, Xiaoguan would definitely follow the Queen Mother's wishes and marry me. It was you who took away what should have been mine. husband!"
Xiao Jinyu listened to her words calmly, and then looked at the cinnabar with a strange red light between her eyebrows.
After she vented her unwillingness and anger, she continued: "There is no first-come-first-served relationship in matters of love, and I don't want to argue with you about right or wrong on this matter. Zheng's Ayue, are you poisoned? "
"Yes, I am poisoned. I just can't understand. I can't understand. Xiao Jinyu, you are indeed excellent and extremely beautiful. Even if your appearance is ruined, Chang Gong doesn't care at all, but I can't let go. , asking me to give up on him and forget about him is more painful than tearing out my heart!
I really can’t let go!”
Zheng Yue burst into tears as she spoke. At this time, the heavy rain was still falling, and the rainwater flowed down from the corners of the eaves like a stream.
Zheng Yue suddenly raised her head, with a fierce look in her eyes. She smiled strangely and said, "Xiao Jinyu, if I die to save you, will Chang Gong remember me in his heart forever?"
Before Xiao Jinyu understood what was going on, Zheng Yue suddenly strode towards her. She caught an arrow again in her peripheral vision. At this moment, she pushed Zheng Yue away, but at the same time, she pushed Zheng Yue away. Because of the force of the recoil, his steps quickly slipped backwards, and his entire body suddenly lost support and fell suddenly.
Gao Changgong's frightened call suddenly came to her ears!
In the sight of everyone watching, the woman in white robe suddenly fell from the bronze bird stage!
"Ayu——"
Gao Changgong ran towards the direction of her whereabouts like an arrow from a string!
Li Mi and Cui Heng were also shocked, and they all rushed to the Tongque Tower!
At this moment, the two of them saw a thin silver cord shoot out from Xiao Jinyu's wrist. At the same time, a young man, as light as a swallow, climbed up to the floor of the Tongque Terrace, and it was almost Xiao Jinyu who shot out that A thin rope, the young man held the other end of the rope and clung to the eaves. Because his body was suspended in the air, he only had one hand to hold on to the corner of the eaves. Ling Ye also flew over at this moment, because of his outstanding qinggong. , and soon reached the roof of the Tongque Terrace, and at the same time tied the young man's body with ropes to give him strong support.
And this series of actions almost only happened in an instant. Before the ministers who were hiding under the eaves from the rain could understand what was going on, they saw King Lanling standing on the open-air platform, holding the baby in his arms. Princess Lanling cried softly in the middle, and the heavy raindrops soon soaked his whole body, but he seemed not to notice it, and only hugged the white-robed woman in his arms tightly.
"What's going on? Is Princess Lanling really dead?"
"What do you think will happen if you fall from the ten-foot-high bronze bird platform?"
"What a pity! What a pity! Did someone push her down? Who was the woman who appeared on the stage later?"
"It seems to be the Zheng family's Ayue, the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang!"
"It's her!"
"If there hadn't been Princess Lanling, the one who married Prince Lanling would have been the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family, right?"
"No wonder...no wonder..."
"However, you see, this Princess Lanling seems different from the last time we saw her. The injuries on her face seem to have healed?"
I don't know who said something, and Gao Zhan immediately turned his attention to the woman who was tightly held in Gao Changgong's arms. At this time, the veil on the woman's face had fallen, revealing a face with snow-white skin and translucent skin, except for a shallow streak. The fine marks are as bright as hibiscus emerging from water and flowers in full bloom!
It’s truly an unforgettable sight just by looking at it!
…
Here, King Lanling did not notice the admiring and admiring glances around him, he just focused on looking at the woman in his arms.
Li Mi and Cui Heng also quickly walked to the stage and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
They clearly saw that guy from Phoenix grabbing the thin rope shot from her wrist and using reverse force to cushion the force of her fall. Prince Lanling took her into his arms again.
It should be fine, right?
Absolutely nothing will happen!
While the two were waiting eagerly, Xiao Jinyu slowly stretched out her hand and touched Gao Changgong's face.
"Chang Gong, the rain is too heavy, let's go and take shelter!"
Gao Changgong was startled when he heard the sound, and the joyful sounds of Li Mi and Cui Heng breathing a sigh of relief sounded in his ears.
"You're okay, that's great, that's great!"
As if she was ecstatic at having lost something, but also a bit frightened, Gao Changgong took her into his arms and held her for a long time again.
"I was on guard for a long time, but I didn't expect that the person coming would be Zheng Yue?"
At this time, Xiao Jinyu explained to him.
Gao Changgong then directed his gaze to the ten-foot-high bronze bird platform. The girl was looking at him blankly and in fear. The girl's veil had been blown away by the wind. Her face was familiar, but she was no longer as gentle as before. Beautiful.
"Chang Gong, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. I really didn't expect this to happen..."
The girl shook her head and cried silently. It seemed that she was about to jump off the bronze bird platform because of her heart. But at this moment, she was hit in the leg by the hilt of a wooden sword from Ling Ye. Zheng Yue's whole body He flew upside down into the hall like a rag doll, only then did he not stumble and fall. Ling Ye pulled Phoenix onto the Tongque Tower again.
Phoenix ran over angrily and strangled Zheng Yue's slender neck.
"Boy, don't kill her! The girl just saved her life because she didn't want to give the county prince Shu Xingyang Zheng family a formidable enemy!"
"Zheng Yue can die in the hands of others, but he cannot die in our hands!"
"And the girl said that she was being taken advantage of!"
Phoenix then tremblingly let go of Zheng Yue's neck, and said in a low voice: "Stay away from my brother Qing from now on. If you dare to hurt her again, I will definitely kill you!"
"Get out of here, you are not qualified to be a goddess praying for rain!"
Zheng Yue cried and was about to run away, but a voice came from behind: "Wait-"
Ling Ye suddenly said, "Take her down and leave her to the prince and the emperor of Qi to deal with her!"
"No, I can't go to see His Majesty, and I can't go to see him!"
Chang Gong will definitely never forgive me! How could I still go to see him!
I don’t want to see the resentment and disappointment in his eyes!
Zheng Yue buried her head in tears and was still struggling to resist. Phoenix was already holding her by the skirt of her clothes and walked off the bronze bird stage!
The rain lasted for two full hours before it gradually stopped.
When the rain stopped and the ministers came out of the shelter, King Lanling had already changed into another outfit with his princess.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu no longer wore the veil. The couple already knew that the veil was no longer useful!
At this time, all the ministers also became shocked and dumbfounded.
Even Gao Xiaowan and Gao Xiaoheng, who came to watch the rain prayers, couldn't help but be so surprised that their eyes lit up.
"I have told you before that even though the fourth sister-in-law has ruined her appearance, she is still a rare beauty in the world. You still don't believe it!"
"And she is also very skilled in medicine. She cured my great-grandmother's illness, so the injuries on her face are naturally no problem!"
With that said, Gao Yanzong turned his eyes to Gao Zhan and couldn't help but feel worried.
Queen Mother Lou's eyes lit up even more, as if she had seen the bright and beautiful woman from before, the woman who fascinated her son.
"Princess Lanling is fine, that's great! She really survived the catastrophe, and she will be blessed later!"
"It's amazing that you can survive a fall from a ten-foot-tall bronze bird platform!"
"Didn't you see that someone risked his life to save her, and King Lanling also took her into his arms? This will really become a good story! I will definitely compose a poem when I go back!"
…
Amid the discussion, Xiao Jinyu saluted Gao Zhan, who was still in shock, and said, "The matter of praying for rain is over. Please give your Majesty a fair witness!"
Gao Zhan finally woke up and picked up the two notes she and Lu Lingxuan sent over, frowning.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Lingxuan said: "Your Majesty, the rain is determined by God. Even if it rains at this time, it is just a coincidence!
You must know that Ayue of the Zheng family is also praying for rain on this bronze bird platform! "
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Gao Zhan was already a little unhappy, especially when he saw Xiao Jinyu's true appearance, he felt even more affectionate and possessive.
"Go and bring me Zheng's Ayue!"
Gao Zhan gave an order, and Phoenix picked up Zheng Yue and threw him in front of everyone!
Zheng Yue raised her head with tears in her eyes, and first looked at Gao Changgong. She couldn't help crawling over and explaining: "Chang Gong, I didn't mean it. I didn't want to harm her. I originally wanted to... I originally wanted to... ...Yes, someone wanted to kill her, so I originally wanted to save her..."
There was still anger in Gao Changgong's eyes, and Xiao Jinyu said: "She is right. She wants to save me and beg for death. But, Zheng's Ayue, who asked you to come to this bronze bird stage?"
"Who is it?"
Zheng Yue thought hard. She went to the wine shop again because she was sad. Someone gave her some wine. Her maid kept advising her, but she couldn't listen at all. Later, the maid disappeared without knowing where she was. There was a voice in her ear that kept tempting her: "Since she can pray for rain, you can also pray for rain. If you want to win Gao Changgong's heart, you have to completely replace her and then kill her!"
"Zheng Yue, go kill her!"
"Zheng Yue, kill her!"
…
"I don't know, I don't know who it is. I just went to a wine shop where Yuan Zisi lived. There was an immortal girl there. She asked me to kill Xiao Jinyu..."
"But I know Chang Gong cares about her very much, and I will not kill her!"
"I won't kill her. Although I really hate her, I can't kill her..."
Listening to these incoherent words, Lu Lingxuan's face changed slightly, and a cold hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"You said a fairy asked you to kill my brother Qing. Who is that fairy?" Phoenix said angrily.
"I don't know, I really don't know..."
Zheng Yue covered her face and cried bitterly again.
Xiao Jinyu came to Zheng Yue, and everyone saw that there was a silver needle in her hand, and she was about to stab Zheng Yue's head!
A loud shout came from my ears:
“Wait a minute, Princess Lanling, what are you doing?”
Zheng Daozhong ran out from the crowd, quickly pulled Zheng Yue into his arms, and glared at Xiao Jinyu.
"Even if Ah Yue is at fault, Princess Lanling can't kill her here in public, right? The life of my daughter-in-law, the Zheng family, is not something you can take just because you want!"
"She was poisoned, and my brother Qing just wanted to force the poison out of her!" Fenghuang answered angrily, then turned to Xiao Jinyu, "Brother Qing, don't worry about her, the head of the Zheng family won't appreciate it at all! "
"He is not a kind person at all!"
"What nonsense are you kidding? How can you slander my Zheng family's reputation!"
"If you really want to be a celebrity, how could you raise a scum like Zheng Shishilang? When you first saw my brother Qing alone, he went to rob a young lady of her property. Such despicable things are not expected of a celebrity. Can a wealthy family do this?"
Zheng Daozhong's face turned pale, and there was a buzz of pointing and buzzing around him.
Zheng Shilang, who was hiding in the crowd, quickly lowered his body and quietly exited the Tongque Terrace.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu also said: "The poison Zheng Yue suffered will amplify her emotions and affect her sanity. If she is not treated, she may become even crazier than she is now."
"How can I believe your words?"
Zheng Daozhong sneered, and then he had doubts: His granddaughter is well-behaved and sensible, but she is not usually as good as she is today?
Could it be that someone really poisoned her?
Who is the fairy she is talking about?
"If the head of the Zheng family doesn't believe me, it doesn't matter. You can take Zheng Yue back to see other doctors first!"
"Princess Lanling means that A Yue's fault will not be investigated? Don't you blame her..."
Don't you blame her for pushing you off the bronze bird stage?
Although he didn't see this happening, thinking of A Yue's infatuation with Gao Changgong, she might not be able to do such a thing!
"Yes, I won't pursue it. It's just a chess piece being used by others. What I want to pursue is the person who played the chess game!"
After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, she looked at Lu Lingxuan who was watching a show with a calm expression and a smile of unknown meaning.
