Chapter 343 The Appearance of the Woman in My Dream
He got up and walked to the wooden frame, taking a gray-feathered carrier pigeon out of the birdcage.
Chu Yi carefully tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg, checked it to make sure it was secure, and then loosened his fingers.
The carrier pigeon quickly flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Chu Yi watched the carrier pigeon fly away, a deep worry flashing in his eyes.
What exactly happened...?
The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.
After the marriage was arranged, the next step was to discuss the wedding date and exchange birth dates.
Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei did not participate; they made up an excuse and left together.
At this moment, Xie Jue was squatting under a flowering tree in the courtyard, holding a thin twig in his hand, teasing the kitten.
The kitten nimbly pounced around, occasionally raising its head to meow.
Xie Jue was overjoyed.
The pale yellow robe he wore made him look even more fair and adorable.
Xie Jue spent the whole day running around playing.
They were completely unaware of what was happening outside.
While they were playing, she turned around and saw Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei returning. She was about to speak when...
But seeing their serious and slightly cold expressions, he immediately stopped in his tracks, and his slightly open mouth slowly closed.
Strange, what's going on?
Xie Jue clutched the twig he used to tease the cat, his eyes fixed on their retreating figures.
Xie Jingchun was following behind them, preparing to go inside.
Xie Jue quickly threw down the branch, ran over in a few steps, and reached out to tug at his sleeve.
"Brother, what happened? Why are Father and Mother so unhappy?"
Xie Jingchun briefly recounted what had happened that day.
Xie Jue's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
"what!"
His little mouth was wide open, his face full of disbelief.
-
With things turned out this way, I naturally lost my appetite for dinner.
Madam Xie was so angry that she fell ill.
Lord Xie and his wife also did not want to see anyone.
As night deepened in Qinglan Courtyard, the candlelight cast a soft, warm glow inside.
Qin Jiuwei leaned against Xie Yanli's chest.
She gently fiddled with his fingers, playing with them casually, her eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Who do you think Chu Yi is working for?"
"As expected, it should be someone from Daliang."
"Li Wuyang?"
Xie Yanli gently shook his head.
"Not necessarily. The power dynamics within the Liang Dynasty are far more complex than those in the Jin Dynasty."
Xie Yanli explained slowly.
"The Emperor of Liang has thirteen princes, and Li Wuyang is the ninth. He is the most capable and stands out among the princes, so he was in charge of planning the attack on Jin."
"But this operation failed, the Emperor of Liang was furious, and Li Wuyang's power was greatly reduced."
"At the same time, the Third Prince's power is growing stronger. Now, among the princes of the Great Liang, the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince are locked in a fierce battle."
"Besides the princes, there is another person in Great Liang..."
"Who?" Qin Jiuwei raised her eyes and asked.
"The Prime Minister of the Great Liang Dynasty, Meng Ze."
Qin Jiu lowered her eyes and repeated the name to herself.
“Meng Ze started from a minor official position and over the years, he rose step by step to the position of prime minister, gaining the deep trust of the Emperor of Liang.”
"Therefore, the three forces in the Great Liang are now in a state of equilibrium: the Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, and Meng Ze."
After speaking, Xie Yanli paused for a moment.
"So right now, I can't be sure who sent Chu Yi."
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly. "So, what should we do with Chu Yi now?"
"Let's hold back for now," Xie Yanli said in a low voice. "Let's see what he's up to."
"As for Chun-ge'er, let's not tell him yet."
Qin Jiu lowered her eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Xie Jingchun.
Growing up in the vortex of power, it's almost impossible to avoid being affected.
Even making friends can lead to being schemed against...
Qin Mansion.
When Li heard from her servants that Qin Jiuwei had accepted the gifts she had sent, she was told that Qin Jiuwei had already accepted them.
She knew that even if Qin Jiuwei accepted the gift, she wouldn't look at it, much less touch it.
So from the very beginning, she was putting her effort into something else...
This time, she was determined to make Qin Jiuwei pay for her daughter's life!
A deep hatred flashed across Li's eyes!
royal palace.
call--
Gao Xian suddenly sat up in bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his heart pounding.
He held his forehead, breathing heavily.
Just now, he dreamed of that woman again.
Her figure came from afar, her slender form appearing and disappearing in the distance.
Unlike before, this time he could clearly see the hem of her dress.
If I take just one more step forward, I can touch her shoulder and even see her face clearly.
But just as he was about to touch it, the dream came to an abrupt end.
His vision went black, and he was jolted awake from his dream.
Gao Xian sat on the bed, his breathing gradually becoming steady.
He looked down at his hands, a strange feeling still lingering at his fingertips.
It was as if I had actually touched something just now.
But this sensation vanished without a trace the moment he opened his eyes.
Hearing his noise, someone quickly lifted the curtain and came in.
Eunuch Li entered slowly, carrying a long-handled candlestick.
The candlestick in my hand had a suitable brightness, not dazzling.
Eunuch Li asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, is there anything you wish to do?"
Behind him followed a young maid, who knelt respectfully on the ground, holding a steaming teacup.
Gao Xian leaned against the bed, his gaze fixed on the jade cup.
He didn't move, but his expression gradually returned to calm.
"It's nothing, you may leave."
Eunuch Li and his maidservant withdrew upon hearing this.
Gao Xian sat on the edge of the bed, and that familiar dull pain surged up again.
He frowned, lowered his head and gave a bitter smile, his right hand involuntarily clenching the brocade quilt.
Previously, he would sometimes experience chest tightness and pain.
But only for a moment.
Before he could even notice, it vanished.
At that time, Mo Qingkui was still by his side.
With her around, he often ignored that dull pain.
Later, he became disappointed in Mo Qingkui, and the dull pain began to become more pronounced, lasting from a moment to several breaths.
When he saw Qin Jiuwei again during the spring hunt, he became completely out of control.
It's getting stronger and stronger, and it's getting more and more painful.
He no longer loves Mo Qingkui.
But he wouldn't do something like stealing a minister's wife.
Gao Xian looked up at the night view outside the window.
His eyes held a deep weariness and a hint of unspeakable melancholy.
