Capture the Jade

Chapter 113

Teng Yuyi raised her brows slightly and opened her eyes in a daze.

There was a dark roof in front of her, and she heard the sound of chaotic wheels. She was a little stunned at first, but after a moment of silence, she realized that she was lying on a small car, and her mind was agitated, and she hurriedly sat up from the couch. Turning his head to look around, he found that this was the cart of Qingyunguan.

Looking at himself again, he was actually covered with a large cloak. The robe on his body was a little wet, as if he had been soaked in water. He looked down at his feet. There was a brazier not far from the couch. , I haven't felt cold since I woke up, I think it's because of the fire.

Hey, Teng Yuyi stared at the pot of charcoal in a daze, wasn't she soaking in the demon cave? When are you back in the car.

The window curtain was blown by the wind, and the wind sent the voices of Jiantian and others.

"Sir, the old man in front still thinks you are unfounded. After today's incident, the old man also thinks that there is a problem."

When Teng Yuyi heard the word "Shizi", her chest felt inexplicably tight, she subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the low couch, tilted her head to think hard, vaguely remembering some fragmentary fragments. When she was underwater, she thought she was about to breathe out. I went, the moment I lost consciousness, someone...

A white light flashed in Teng Yuyi's mind.

Then, a burst of heat rushed to his face.

She held her head, hallucination, must be hallucination.

Lin Chengyou neither hugged her nor kissed her.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the underwater scene appeared clearly in front of his eyes.

He not only blocked her mouth, but also accidentally knocked on her teeth.

Even in the water, she heard a very small sound.

Also, when he put her in his arms, it seemed as if there were 10,000 wild horses galloping in his chest, and even through the clothes, she could clearly hear his rumbling heartbeat.

When his lips touched hers, the black pupils were clearly blurred for a moment, but then, there was a light infuriating energy flowing into her body along her lips, and the breath between his lips and teeth, as clear as Mint like.

If all that was just an illusion, how could she remember it so clearly?

Not only did she hear, see, smell, and even feel the warmth on his lips and...

The more she thought about it, the more her brain was rumbling,

Could it be true?

Impossible, definitely wrong.

At that time, her consciousness was confused because she had held it for too long, and it was not surprising that she had any illusions.

Maybe it was the illusion set up by the goblin. Didn't you use this method to deal with her before?

She subconsciously closed her eyes even tighter, and kept mumbling in her mouth.

I don't know how many times I have repeated the "hallucination hallucination", I finally feel that my heart is not so chaotic.

However, when he opened his eyes, his face was still hot.

She continued to hold her head in both hands, but her eyes turned to the pot of charcoal beside her feet, which must be because of the charcoal.

The weather is so hot, how can it not be hot to burn charcoal in the car?

She stayed at the bed and walked to the basin, and without hesitation, she picked up the basin lid to cover the heat.

But I heard the outsider say again: "Prince? Shizi?"

Jian Le said: "Since the first time, Shizi has been in a daze, and he doesn't know what he's thinking. Shizi, don't be in a daze, the veterans are talking to you."

Teng Yuyi was stagnant, and wanted to go back to the couch and cover her head to sleep, but how could she know that she stepped too fast and accidentally bumped into the charcoal basin.

Duanfu outside the car immediately moved: "Master, are you awake?"

Lin Chengyou's face flushed red to the root of his neck.

Teng Yuyi's toes accidentally touched the charcoal basin, and she grinned in pain, but for some reason, she didn't want to be known about it, so she cleared her throat and said, "Oh, wake up."

As he spoke, he limped back to the couch.

Lin Chengyou listened to the movement in the car, as if a fire was burning in her heart, she just woke up from a drowsiness, and she didn't know if she still remembered what happened before.

If she still remembers, how should he greet her later: "Are you awake?"

"I didn't mean to belittle you, I kissed you to save you."

With Teng Yuyi's temperament, after hearing this, it would be nice not to jump out of the car and give him a sword right away.

He took the reins and turned to look around. Just like this, he looked for a long time with his eyes blankly, and he didn't know what he was looking for. Wu Dao found that something was wrong with Lin Chengyou, and said strangely: "Sir, what are you looking for?"

Lin Chengyou saw the pile of food beside Duanfu, calmed down, waved out the silver chain and rolled it back into a wine bag, opened the lid of the bag and took a sip.

"If you're thirsty, take a sip of wine first."

Seeing Mei suspiciously: "Sir, your face is too red, is it possible that you have been poisoned by a demon in the water?"

Lin Chengyou took a sip of the wine, and then said calmly: "The weather is too stuffy, can you not get hot after fighting so many monsters?"

Seeing the sky remembering Lin Chengyou embracing Teng Yuyi and getting out of the water, he gave some junior brothers an ambiguous wink: "You guys are really, you keep asking nonsense. Speaking of drinking, Lao Dao is also very thirsty. Brother Fu, throw a bag of wine for each of us."

Duanfu threw the pile of Boluo wine at his feet to Wudao.

Seeing Le thought of what happened just now, he was still afraid, took a few sips of wine to suppress his shock, and asked with smacking: "Senior brother, what's going on with the Seven Desires Heaven this time? Seeing that its body is nothing but a python spirit, its mana It's amazing, and the bodies of the previous flower demons are still twigs, even if they are transformed into humanoids, their mana is low, and I didn't expect them to be able to fight against us."

Seeing Tiandao: "The Seven Desires Heaven does not refer to a specific kind of demon, but to a type of demon, usually transformed by snake demons, flower demons, and fox demons. As bait, they lure men into an illusion, and then take advantage of their chaotic emotions to try to steal their essence. Take the python spirit this time as an example. Its original mana is mediocre. But it is lucky, it catches up with a vision in the sky, and this evil spirit is surging secretly between heaven and earth, which can best help such fairies become demons. It only needs to release the demon pill in the body against the moonlight every night, and then use the evil spirit to help If you cultivate by yourself, the demon pill will shine in just a few months, and thus you will cultivate the Seven Desires Heaven with extremely high demon power. Those flower demons were originally controlled by the python spirit, and they were also contaminated with this evil spirit during cultivation. Ordinary little demons are much higher."

He added: "Sir, when Chikuo appeared in the past, it can be said to be a coincidence. Today's Qiyutian can almost confirm that there is evil between heaven and earth. Such a big evil is absolutely unusual, or there is a big grievance somewhere, or There will be war, we can no longer wait for it, should we immediately find the origin of this evil spirit?"

Lin Chengyou said: "I've been investigating the first few days, but I haven't figured out what's going on for a while, it's a little late today, why don't you look back and wait for me to discuss the different things that happened these days with my teacher. , go back and plan the next action."

"Alright."

Teng Yuyi had a big cloak on her head, but her ears kept sticking up. She suddenly felt the body stop, and then she heard Duan Fu say from outside, "Young Master, you're home."

So fast? Teng Yuyi was stunned for a while, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep for a long time before.

She lifted her cloak, and rationalized her Taoist robe to get out of the car. Just as her hand touched the car curtain, she shrank back as if it was hot.

For the first time in her life, she had the idea of ​​running away.

When you get off the car, you will see Lin Chengyou.

But she didn't want to face him at all now.

Alas, if only she could fly back to the mansion with a swoosh like a monster.

Or just… pretend nothing happened.

That monster is ever-changing, and this might never have happened.

Her brows loosened, and she lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

It was early morning when we set off, and now it was night. When the night wind blew, the hot feeling on his face was relieved a lot.

Teng Yuyi strode out of the car, first took Yu Guang and glanced around, and glanced at Lin Chengyou's white horse, instead of looking at it, he just scribbled five times and said, "Will the five masters not come to the manor and sit down?"

Wudao is very sensible: "No, no, let's harass another day."

Teng Yuyi walked to Lin Chengyou's horse again, and when he spoke, he tried to make his expression look the same as usual: "Today there is a son of Lao Shi."

Lin Chengyou's chest jumped, and under the bright gazes of the people from the Teng Mansion and Wu Dao, he didn't look at her, and said calmly, "Don't catch a cold, go back to the mansion early to rest."

Teng Yuyi didn't raise her eyes to look at Lin Chengyou, she just cupped her hands slightly, and walked towards the mansion without stopping at the door.

Lin Chengyou watched the stone lion beside him, waited for Teng Yuyi to enter the house, shook the reins, and rode away.

***

Returning to Prince Cheng's mansion, Lin Chengyou stepped into the mansion: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Commander Chang and Kuan Nu looked at each other suspiciously. The prince usually waited until he went to bed before taking a bath.

Looking at the prince's clothes again, he immediately understood that it seemed that the prince had encountered a demon who was recruiting water when he was out of the city.

"Go and prepare some hot soup to help the prince drive away the cold."

But he heard Lin Chengyou say from the front: "No, cold water will do."

After taking three cold water baths in one breath, Lin Chengyou felt a little more comfortable. After coming out of the clean room, he didn't bother to use any more late-night snacks, and fell directly onto the bed.

Kuan Nu asked wonderingly outside, "Is the prince going to bed so early?"

"Tired, don't quarrel with me." Lin Chengyou closed his eyes and frowned.

Kuan Nu waved back the people and walked away on tiptoe.

Lin Chengyou closed his eyes and fell asleep, his ears were clean, but his heart was noisy. As soon as he closes his eyes, everything that happened before will emerge in his mind. Teng Yuyi's lips are as fresh as flowers, making people unable to bear...

Unable to lie down, he simply rolled over and got out of bed, walked barefoot to the table, and poured himself a large glass of water to drink.

But maybe he was bewitched by the illusion for a while before, and no amount of cold water could quench the heat in his heart. When he calmed down a little, it seemed that he could hear Teng Yuyi calling him "Yuro" softly in his ear. She was wearing The wedding dress was lying under him, and her whole person was as coquettish as a blooming peony. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips in confusion, and she stretched out two tender white arms around his neck.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengyou threw himself back on the bed, this **** seven desires.

In order to distract himself, he shook his head to calm himself down, turned over, and began to ponder the previous scene.

Teng Yuyi must have remembered this, so her attitude was so unnatural.

What's next?

Pretend nothing happened? But he has kissed her...

Or come to the door tomorrow to ask for a kiss.

But - Teng Yuyi doesn't like him now.

What to do if you get annoyed.

Wait a minute, when Teng Yuyi said goodbye at the entrance of Teng Mansion just now, although Teng Yuyi's face was strange, he didn't seem to show any hatred or anger.

Could it be—

If Teng Yuyi resented him and found out that she had been kissed by him, she would have wanted to kill him now.

Also, when he was trapped underwater, she did not hesitate to go into the water to save her.

Could it be... that she had a crush on him?

Just as I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard Kuannu say from outside: "Prince."

"Go go go, I'm sleeping."

Kuannu said in a hurry: "Prince, there is an urgent matter in the palace to find the prince. Tonight, the sage will banquet the ministers in the Hanyuan Hall. At the banquet, he said about the marriage between the children of the officials and the students of Xiangxiang Academy. Peng Sishun begged for an order in front of the imperial court, saying that the prince had no wife, and his granddaughter, Aunt Peng, was both talented and beautiful. Taking advantage of the excitement tonight, he asked the saint to marry his granddaughter Aunt Peng and the prince. The young courtier agreed. Peng Sishun also said that his time was short, and he was most concerned about the marriage of the children under his knees. If the saint could accomplish this matter, he would have died without any regrets. In addition, there are several ministers who are begging to marry General Teng's daughter for their sons, if the prince doesn't want to do anything wrong, he should enter the palace as soon as possible."

Lin Chengyou rolled over and got out of bed to get dressed.

When we arrived at Hanyuan Hall, it was surprisingly lively.

In addition to Deng Zhiyao, Wu Rujun, and several other senior officials in the court, there were also foreign military envoys, such as Peng Zhen, who returned to Beijing to report their duties.

In addition, the Queen entertained the women and their relatives at the Cuihua Hall.

Lin Chengyou first went to Hanyuan Hall to greet his uncle.

As soon as he entered the hall, he felt countless eyes falling on him.

Peng Zhenlang smiled and said, "Saint, the prince is here."

The emperor beckoned: "You'er, come."

Lin Chengyou smiled and stepped forward to salute.

After getting up, he sat next to the prince and the uncle.

The prince had a "Why did you come" expression, and the uncle had a small dancing fairy cup by his hand.

Lin Chengyou glanced at it inadvertently, and the whole person froze. This wine cup was too familiar. That time Teng Yuyi was trapped in Dayin Temple, and he was drinking with this wine cup.

This wine cup...how did it get into the hands of the uncle?

The sage smiled and said to Peng Sishun: "I am very sympathetic to the meaning of the public, but it is only a matter of marriage, not a child's play. Apart from being in the same household, husband and wife also have temperaments. Chong, it is inevitable that they will become a pair of resentful couples. I know that the children of the Peng family must be all metal and jade, but everything is about eyesight, and it is no exception to be a husband and wife. This child, Youer, has a backbone since he was a child. I am his uncle, no With his own consent, how dare he rashly confer marriage."

Peng Sishun fell down and listened to the emperor's words, trembling back to the table with the support of his son, took a breath, and said with a wry smile: "The sage is right, but the old minister knows that he is reckless. How can I know that I can’t get along with my granddaughter, my granddaughter? The aunt has a beautiful appearance and has been in Chang’an for more than a few months. I don’t know if the prince has ever seen the aunt, and since the prince is here, the old minister also wants to ask the prince in person.”

Lin Chengyou's eyes moved, and he put down the wine cup to speak. The Prince of Chun'an smiled slightly, and said to the saint, "The saint just asked about the younger brother, but the younger brother has not yet answered."

Forcibly cut off Peng Sishun's words.

The sage didn't want to openly sweep the old face of his ministers, and hurriedly changed the subject with a smile: "Look at me, the matter of Min Lang is only half said. All the ministers also know that although Min Lang is only a few years older than the children of Aqi, his seniority is not enough. You are a whole generation taller, and if you really want to talk about marriage, why should you start with Min Lang, Min Lang, do you want to ask for a marriage?"

The Prince of Chun'an still had a calm face: "I remember that the sage said to the younger brother that the younger brother's marriage is entirely up to the younger brother himself. If the younger younger brother finds someone he likes, the sage will refer to the younger brother on the spot."

Lin Chengyou's wine cup stopped beside his mouth, his heart sank.

The sage was both surprised and delighted: "Is it really interesting? But it doesn't matter, the emperor is in charge of you. Did the child you mentioned just now come from another place?"

The King of Chun'an County was about to speak when Lin Chengyou suddenly got up from the seat, smiled and kowtowed in front of the royal family and said, "Tonight is really lively, even the uncle asked for a kiss, since General Peng mentioned his nephew's marriage, the nephew also I have the cheek to join in the fun. The last time I summoned the children of officials at the Queen of Ledao Villa, my nephew once glanced at General Teng's daughter from a distance. I don't even want to marry, please beg my uncle to complete this matter, otherwise my nephew won't get up tonight."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Prince Chun'an was surprised for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

The emperor smiled and said: "Good boy, my uncle is willing to fulfill you, but if you want to marry someone, you have to get their consent. Tonight, General Teng hasn't returned to the city in Xiying, and his uncle can't ask him in person. That's it. , let Eunuch Liu go to Teng Mansion to find out for you, if Mrs. Teng does not object, how about uncle fulfilling you?"

Lin Chengyou's chest jumped a few times. Tonight was forced to talk to him. Although he begged for a kiss on impulse, thinking of the previous things, he felt that Teng Yuyi might not want to marry him, so he smiled nonchalantly: " Just follow Uncle's advice. By the way, please, Eunuch Liu, please tell Madam Teng what happened in the palace tonight."

His smile was radiant. Eunuch Liu smiled and bowed back.

***

Teng Yu intends to take a bath in the clean room.

There was a steaming hot bath in front of her, but her thoughts had already flown to where, as long as she heard the sound of water, she would think of the scenes that happened today that were both real and illusory.

In the fantasy world, her husband is Lin Chengyou, which is really strange, why do you dream of marrying Lin Chengyou in a dream? Fortunately it's fake. If...if after getting married, her husband moved away from love, how similar her experience to her mother was.

Even in an illusion, the pain and suffering on the sickbed is like having experienced it personally.

She was glad again that this was just what happened in a fantasy world.

While thinking about it, Biluo suddenly said in surprise, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Teng Yuyi had a guilty conscience, so she covered her mouth when she heard the words: "What's wrong?"

"The maid looks like her skin has been broken. Shouldn't she be angry? The maid will take a look for you."

"Nonsense." Teng Yuyi panicked and refused to take his hands off, "You go out first, I don't need you to serve me here."

Chunrong and Biluo were at a loss, only to say that the skin on their mouths was torn, and the lady looked like she was scalded by fire.

The two went out, and Teng Yuyi said dully, "By the way, bring me a mirror in."

After the second maid left in confusion, Teng Yuyi slowly raised the mirror.

At a glance, the scalp is fried.

The lip was indeed torn. It was located on the lower lip, a very small opening. If it wasn't for a little blood, Biluo and the others would not have found it.

So it wasn't a hallucination before.

This hole was accidentally broken by Lin Chengyou.

Teng Yuyi closed her eyes and put the mirror aside.

Don't panic, Lin Chengyou didn't mean to belittle her. The situation was so urgent that she might have drowned in the water if she didn't do this.

Since he didn't do it on purpose, she just had to pretend that it didn't happen.

If Lin Chengyou didn't say it, she would never take the initiative to bring this up.

Even if he took the initiative to tell her about it, she must pretend not to know.

She propped up the edge of the bath and wrapped it in a towel to get up.

Go to sleep, maybe you will forget about it when you wake up tomorrow morning.

After coming out, he wiped his long hair, put on his pajamas and went to bed and fell down. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Cheng Bo say in the courtyard, "Miss, there is an order from the palace."

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly asked Chunrong and Biluo to prepare clothes, and asked, "Is the oral order for grandpa?"

"For the lady."

Teng Yuyi was inexplicable: "Looking for me? What did you say?"

Cheng Bo was as surprised as Teng Yuyi: "It is said that the Prince Cheng asked the sage to ask the sage for him and you tonight, and the sage asked Eunuch Liu to come over and ask the lady: 'Would you like to marry the prince Cheng?'"

Teng Yuyi fell off the bed with one bone.

***

Lin Chengyou continued to drink and have fun in the Hanyuan Hall, but his ears kept paying attention to the movement outside the hall.

Every time a palace servant came in, a breeze would blow in his heart. The prince and the uncle pulled him to talk from time to time, but he didn't listen at all.

I don't know how long they waited, but the queen and Qingxuzi invited the **** to come and spread the word, saying that Azhi missed her brother, and asked the prince and Lin Chengyou to go to the Cuihua Palace.

Lin Chengyou and the prince arrived at the Daming Palace. By the fish pond, Qingxuzi was fishing with Azhi and Changyi. Seeing Lin Chengyou coming, Qingxuzi had not spoken yet, Azhi was the first to jump up: "Brother."

Lin Chengyou lazily opened his arms to greet Azhi, and someone from the palace said, "Eunuch Liu has returned from the Teng Mansion. The sage asked Eunuch Liu to tell the prince again in person."

The air was silent.

Lin Chengyou didn't answer, but a heart instantly popped into his throat.

Seeing that something was wrong with his disciple and grandson, Qing Xuzi asked the prince, "What's wrong?"

The prince told what happened earlier. Azhi and Changyi suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite Eunuch Liu to come in."

Eunuch Liu came in with a smile.

The prince smiled and asked, "What did Mrs. Teng say?"

Eunuch Liu replied, "Ms. Teng said—"

Lin Chengyou held his breath.

"Ms. Teng said: She will not marry." Eunuch Liu recounted Teng Yuyi's words with a straight face.
