Chapter 582 Darkness
After dinner, the two enjoyed tea under the eaves and watched the moon.
It was originally a quiet scene, but who knew that there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.
Lin Chuqian was shocked, and hurriedly got up to hide, but she got up too fast and almost tripped.
Fortunately, He Changsheng reached out to catch her firmly, raised his eyes and looked at each other, and hurriedly staggered away before there was any spark.
Lin Chuqian struggled and limped towards the back room, cursing inwardly, and looked quite embarrassed from the back.
He Changsheng saw her enter the house, so he got up and went to open the courtyard door.
With several figures silhouetted against the moonlight, He Mingqiu came aggressively with his servant girl, but was stopped by Youran and Nanshan.
The courtyard door opened, the light from inside fell, He Changsheng in the backlight was silent, and suddenly He Mingqiu's arrogance was inexplicably suppressed.
"Miss He came to visit suddenly, what's your business?" His voice was low and gentle, exactly the same as his gentle and elegant demeanor.
But He Mingqiu knew that the viciousness in his heart was no less vicious than hers. She pushed away Nanshan who was blocking her, and said through gritted teeth: "He Changsheng, you are too deceitful."
"I don't understand what Miss He means."
"Don't understand?" He Mingqiu snorted coldly, and shouted angrily: "Don't think that no one knows what you did? How did Aunt Zou become the wife of the wife? Don't say that it has nothing to do with you .”
"Miss He, you didn't mention it yourself?" He Changsheng had sarcasm in his eyes, and looked at her ferocious expression with interest, which was quite different from the gentle and weak appearance she usually pretended outside. "Didn't you say a few days ago that there are complicated affairs in the mansion, and a lady in the house needs to take care of them?"
"You..." He Mingqiu gritted his teeth, the resentment towards him from the bottom of his heart slowly surfaced on his face, and she, who was always good at disguising herself, couldn't care less about other things at this moment.
She looked up into the courtyard and found two teacups on the table under the eaves. If he was the only one, why use two teacups?Filled with anger, she suddenly felt revenge.
"I'm going to the Yamen to sue you for harboring criminals." He Mingqiu threatened He Changsheng suddenly with a vicious tone.
She thought she would see his panic, his guilt, or his anger.
It turned out to be a pity, He Changsheng was calm and calm, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation in his heart.
He said lightly: "Miss He, do you know what crime should be for framing an important official of the court?"
"There must be someone in your room, otherwise how could there be two cups on the table, and the meal whose taste has changed drastically recently, must be harboring some shady person." Naturally, He Mingqiu knew that there was a lot of trouble in the capital recently. At this time, he was in a state of desperation, so he expressed his doubts. "Maybe it's Lin Chuqian, the criminal of the Lin family that the government is arresting everywhere. If I expose this matter, so what if you are the prime minister? If you commit a crime knowingly, the crime will be aggravated."
He Changsheng laughed angrily at her, a contemptuous and contemptuous smile appeared on his indifferent face.
"Do you really think that you must be the crown prince?"
He asked back coldly, which inexplicably made He Mingqiu's face turn pale with fright, and she who was clamoring to break in to find out what happened, was inexplicably silent.
She was really terrified of his methods.
Earlier, she wanted to use old love to beg him to nod and agree to become the wife of Aunt Liu, but in the end, not only did Aunt Liu fail to become the wife, but Aunt Zou became the wife.
That Aunt Zou is only twenty-eight years old, soft and beautiful, about the same age as her.Later, when she ran into her outside, she had to pretend to call the other party's wife, and she had to put on an obedient and respectful appearance.
This is simply the greatest irony to her.
Hearing his rhetorical question now, He Mingqiu felt a sense of panic from the bottom of his heart. She and Li Zijing were getting closer, if he deliberately wanted to obstruct it, the final result would be the same as the position of Mrs. He Fu.
He Changsheng sneered lightly when he saw her pale face and dared not speak.
"I don't want to say the same thing a second time, you can do it yourself."
After speaking, he turned and walked back to the courtyard.
He Mingqiu stood outside the courtyard, staring at his slender figure in astonishment, with her handkerchief tightly clenched in her palm, emotions of grief, anger and panic intertwined on her face.
In the candlelight under the moonlight, his figure was as insurmountable as a tall mountain.
She was so small that she couldn't overcome his obstacle, even if she rushed in fearlessly at this moment, she could find Lin Chuqian hiding outside the door when she opened the door.
But she, who was trembling in her heart, didn't have the courage.
He said last time that if she acts peacefully as her Miss He, then everything will be safe and sound.
The remaining rationality soothed her emotions more powerfully than anger and humiliation. She looked at him who had sat down in the room again with hatred, suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, let out a cold snort and walked away.
She admitted that she did not dare to continue to challenge He Changsheng's patience. The matter of Mrs. He's house had been decided, and even if she was unwilling, she could not change it. If her plan was interrupted by impulsiveness, then she would really be doomed.
When she becomes the imperial concubine, even if the prime minister despises him, won't he still have to salute her and call her the imperial concubine when they meet?
A small leak will sink a great ship.
-
The yard became calm again.
Lin Chuqian walked out of the room in embarrassment, and lingered back to the table. Looking at He Changsheng, who was calm and composed, it was still hard to imagine that such a gentle and refined man would have such a cold and stern side.
She swallowed, and asked weakly: "You made Aunt Zou your wife?"
"Actually, I don't care who becomes Mrs. He." He Changsheng slowly started to make a new pot of tea again, his face was as usual, he didn't deny it, and his tone was very flat. "As long as it's not Aunt Liu."
After hearing this, Lin Chuqian was in a complicated mood, thinking that this foolish man was so upset because he was poisoned by Aunt Liu.It stands to reason that some people should feel very relieved for their injustice.
But she felt that the past should go with the wind like smoke, maybe her life and death were just the need of the plot, even without the poison of Aunt Liu, she might have died of other things.
And seriously, He Changsheng's biological mother, that poor Bai Jingjing, might have died when she appeared.
"Why is Prime Minister He doing this?"
She picked up the cool tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. The cold liquid soothed her agitated mood.
She has been thinking for a long time, why is this yard still unchanged after so many years?
Why is he wearing crescent-colored light-colored robes all year round?
Why is he smart and wise, yet so talented yet he wants to live in this backyard to check and balance Aunt Liu and He Mingqiu?
Obviously with his talent, he can go higher and farther.
Why put yourself in prison for the rest of your life for the sake of the past?
He Changsheng raised his hand to make a new cup of tea for her. A gust of wind blew outside the house, the candlelight flickered, and the expression on her face became dull. He turned his head to look at the bright moon in the sky. It happened that the clouds covered the moonlight at this time, and the space between heaven and earth Except for this weak candle in the house, there is cold and bleak darkness in all directions.
"I thought about killing her." Suddenly, he spoke softly. "But I think it's too cheap for her to just die. I want her to die."
So he secretly arranged for He Rencheng to carry one concubine room after another. Seeing Aunt Liu anxiously worried that she would lose her favor, she tried her best to grab He Rencheng's heart, but she couldn't stop it. He asked for another new love, and watched her try so hard to become Mrs. He but couldn't get it, and watched her and her daughter still unable to hold their heads up because of their humble and humble identities.
Everything, in his opinion, is far from enough.
Lin Chuqian was secretly startled, and thought of the thirteen aunts in the He Mansion, the few poor children, and the wife that He Mingqiu had been thinking about, and finally fell on Aunt Zou, who had just entered the mansion for only two years.
It would be impossible to say that there was no handwriting of He Changsheng behind this.
Who would have thought that Prime Minister He, who appears to be pure-hearted on the outside, would actually have such a scheming mind?
And all of this is because of one person.
Feeling a sense of oppressive heaviness in her heart, Lin Chuqian drank hot tea and inexplicably wanted to drink a few glasses of cold wine. She put down the teacup and said to him with a faint smile: "Actually, have you ever thought that if Lingtang has a spirit in the sky? , don't want to see you like this?"
"Then she wants me to look like that?" He turned his head and looked at her steadily, his eyes were a little dazed and dazed.
"I think most of the parents in the world want their children to be safe and happy." The mellow tea fragrance in her mouth has not yet dissipated, she let out a breath, raised her head and smiled at him. "I think what Lai Lingtang is asking for is nothing more than that."
He Changsheng was slightly stunned, his deep eyes shimmered, and the flickering candlelight seemed to stir his mind.
He seemed to be vaguely aware of the bright moon that was shrouded in layers of thick fog quietly floating in the night sky.
The bright and clear moonlight fell, and the whole world was as calm and silent as dust had settled.
----
Sometimes I get irritable when I code, and when I get agitated, I don’t know what I have done.
I often think that my readers are mature enough to make up the plot by themselves to the finale.
If it is, that would be great.
