Chapter 252
Tick tock, tick tock.
The dripping water outside the window is still counting the time silently.
The night receded quietly.
In the study, Luo Qingzhou wrote quickly, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The eldest princess was dressed in a fiery red dress. She knelt down beside her, her red sleeves were fragrant, and she was studying ink with her bare hands, watching quietly.
The two of them occasionally spoke out.
One question and one answer, the atmosphere was harmonious.
That night, Luo Qingzhou wrote out "Wu Zi's Art of War" and "Tai Gong's Six Tao" one by one.
Before I knew it, it was already early morning the next day.
The sky is already bright outside the window.
A few crisp bird calls came from the garden outside.
Luo Qingzhou put down his pen and ink, dried the ink on the paper, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, it's already dawn. I have to go out of the city to move my mother's grave today, so I can no longer accompany Your Highness."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes finally came back from the pen and ink on the rice paper. The thoughts between her brows gradually disappeared. She raised her head and glanced at him. Just as she was about to stand up, her legs suddenly became numb. She tilted her body and was about to Fall to the ground.
Luo Qingzhou, with quick eyes and quick hands, held him up.
Then he supported her arm and helped her sit down on the chair next to her. Then he stepped back and bowed: "Your Highness, I'm offended."
Nangong Huoyue frowned, rubbed her legs and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I should thank you sir."
Then he apologized and said, "I didn't know that your husband was going to move his mother's grave today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have disturbed you last night."
After a pause, she said to the outside: "Yueying, you take fifty silver-armored cavalry and escort your husband out of the city to move his mother's grave. Let him rest in the carriage without disturbing you."
Yueying's voice immediately came from outside: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and was about to refuse when Nangong Huoyue said again: "Sir, you're welcome. This palace is for your safety. Mo City is not at peace now, and there is even more turmoil outside the city. Recently, there are monsters even in the city. Beasts are everywhere. Your husband is both a teacher and a friend to me. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to thank him.
Nangong Huoyue stood up slowly, bowed deeply, and said with cupped hands: "Last night, I saw you sir writing very fast, every word is exquisite, every sentence is exquisite. I feel itchy after reading it, and I have all kinds of questions in my mind. , I wanted to ask sir for an answer, but I was afraid of disturbing him. I wonder when sir will still have time to answer my questions?"
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Your Highness, if necessary, I can come back tomorrow afternoon."
"Thank you sir."
Nangong Huoyue thanked you sincerely and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will spare no effort to help you handle that matter."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Luo Qingzhou handed over his hands, resigned and left.
The bead curtain made a sound.
Yue Wu led him out in front.
Nangong Huoyue looked at the bead curtain that was still gently swaying at the door, frowned and thought for a while, walked to the desk and sat down, and then looked at the elegant ink on the rice paper.
"Senior sister, senior sister, why do all the good things in this world belong to you?"
She stroked the writing on the rice paper and murmured to herself.
Palace entrance.
Fifty warriors wearing silver armor and riding war horses were gathered together in neat rows. They were led by a girl in a black dress carrying a bow and arrow, and were waiting silently at the door.
When Luo Qingzhou came out following Yuewu, the girl in black dress stood on the horse and said coldly, "Master Luo, please get in the carriage and rest."
Luo Qingzhou saw that she was like those silver-armored warriors, and he suddenly felt an iron-blooded aura that could only be seen on the battlefield rushing towards his face, which was daunting.
He cupped his hands and walked towards the carriage.
Yue Wu stopped at the door and said, "Master Luo, if you have anything to do, you can tell Yue Ying and she will help you handle it."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and got on the carriage.
Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly saw a familiar but thin figure standing under a big tree not far away. In the shadow of the big tree, he looked like a sculpture, motionless.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped off the carriage and walked over quickly.
When the figure saw him coming, he turned around and left.
Luo Qingzhou immediately quickened his pace and said, "Chanchan, I want to tell you what happened last night."
Xia Chan stopped.
Luo Qingzhou came behind her, reached out and held her cold little hand, squeezed it in his palm, and said distressedly: "Did you stand here all night last night?"
Xia Chan turned her back and didn't respond.
"Let's go to the carriage and talk."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but pulled her towards the carriage.
Xia Chan followed him, struggling slightly at first, but after feeling the warmth of his hand, she soon stopped moving and let him lead her to the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou got on the carriage first, and when he was about to pull her up, Yue Wu, who was standing at the door, suddenly said: "Master Luo, this is His Highness's carriage. No one else can get on without His Highness's permission."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou got off the carriage directly, looked at her and said, "In that case, I'll just walk. I wrote a book for His Highness last night and stayed up all night. If I fainted on the road, I wouldn't be able to remember the rest. When the time comes, I hope Miss Yuewu can write it for His Highness."
After saying that, he took the girl beside him and walked towards the street in front.
Yue Wu's face changed slightly, and she quickly shouted: "Master Luo! Don't, don't... Yue Wu... Yue Wu is wrong..."
Luo Qingzhou stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuewu made a bitter face, pointed to her mouth, and said with aggrieved face: "My mouth is wrong..."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and saw that it was already late. He didn't dare to waste time with her anymore and immediately pulled Xia Chan back and got into the carriage.
"drive!"
Yueying led fifty silver-armored cavalry and slowly drove away surrounded by the carriage.
In the carriage.

Luo Qingzhou sat with Xia Chan, holding her cold little hands in his palms, rubbing them gently, looking at her and saying: "Silly girl, why do you have to stand outside all night? Did my uncle just go out? You just followed."
Xia Chan turned sideways, looked away, and did not answer.
Luo Qingzhou rubbed her for a while and told her everything about last night: "In addition to writing a book for the eldest princess, there was indeed a woman named Hua Gu who tempted me, but I didn't fall for it... All night long, I sat at the desk and wrote. I didn’t look at anything, say anything, or do anything else that would make me sorry for the eldest lady..."
After Xia Chan listened, she was silent for a while, then turned her pretty face, stared at him with cold eyes and said, "Well, woman, is she pretty...?"
Luo Qingzhou thought about it carefully and said: "I met her last time, and she looked okay, but I didn't dare to look at her last night. She... Chanchan, don't get me wrong, what I said is okay, just make do with it. The meaning of being so-so and so-so is obviously a million miles away from you, and it is even more ugly than Bai Ling...well, almost as ugly as Bai Ling..."
The morning sun rises from the green mountains.
Golden sunshine fills the earth.
At the entrance of Qin Mansion.
Song Ruyue was wearing a plain white dress and was standing there with a gloomy face, looking at the empty alley not far away.
Many maids and grandmothers stood nearby, their heads lowered, as silent as a cicada.
Down the steps.
The carriage and the people who moved the tomb were already waiting.
The few people at the back were holding firecrackers, wreaths, ghost coins and other items needed for worship. There was a brand new stone tablet carved yesterday on the bullock cart.
On the stone tablet, there are a few lines of small characters engraved on it. In addition to the small characters such as "Qingzhou's mother Lin", there are also other names.
Qin Wenzheng walked out of the house, looked at the alley, and asked, "You haven't come back yet?"
Song Ruyue had a cold face and did not answer.
Qin Wenzheng consoled him, "It's okay. He is more anxious than anyone else about his mother's affairs. There may be other matters at the eldest princess's place, please wait. Aren't Weimo and the others not out yet?"
Song Ruyue suppressed her anger and said, "Wei Mo knew that the boy hadn't come back yet and was afraid that I would be angry, so he deliberately pretended not to get up. That girl didn't sleep all night last night and even coughed in the morning. It was all because of that boy. of!"
Qin Wenzheng frowned and asked in confusion: "Why didn't Weimo sleep last night? How could her body bear it?"
Song Ruyue turned her head and looked at him.
Qin Wenzheng saw that she was looking at something wrong and said blankly: "What's wrong?"
Then his heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to suddenly understand something. His face changed slightly and he said, "Already sleeping together? The kid was not here last night, so he couldn't sleep?"
Song Ruyue sneered: "You should ask your precious daughter and that cowardly boy."
Qin Wenzheng frowned and said with a heavy face: "Why so fast? This... this is against the rules..."
Song Ruyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "Since that kid entered the house, what else has happened in our house that is in compliance with the rules? Have you ever seen any son-in-law who is like an ancestor and is supported by us like this? Humph? , and other things, I’m afraid you’ll be pissed to death if I tell you. The whole family of our Qin family is about to be ruined by that cowardly boy!”
Qin Wenzheng was stunned for a moment: "Is it so serious?"
Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "Master, I didn't mean to slander that boy. You can find out by yourself if you go down and ask. Huh, originally that boy was worried and afraid of me, but now he is so pampered by you that he is no longer afraid of anyone." . I’m afraid that people will come to the house to remove the tiles and poop on our heads.”
When Qin Wenzheng heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "How dare he!"
Song Ruyue glanced at him and immediately encouraged: "Master, it's time to give him a hard beating, lest that kid think he can be unscrupulous in our Qin Mansion and do whatever he wants! If we don't establish our authority in front of that kid now, I'm afraid that when he gets the Jinshi exam in the autumn, he will go too far and not only ignore us, but he may even bully your precious daughter!"
The more Qin Wenzheng listened, the more frightened he became. His face changed for a while, and he suddenly said with a serious face: "It's time to beat him hard. If you don't beat him, you won't be talented, and if you don't beat him, you won't be filial! When he comes back later, I will teach him a lesson. ! Don't stop me!"
Song Ruyue suddenly felt secretly happy and immediately said, "Master, I will teach you a lesson, but I promise not to say a word!"
At this time, a dazzling cold light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
Immediately, the heavy and neat sound of horse hooves, stepping on the bluestone slabs, came over with a majestic and powerful aura, as if knocking on people's hearts, and every sound was frightening.
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned their heads to look, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Dozens of strong warriors wearing silver armor, riding armored horses, and holding silver guns, led by a girl in a black dress, surrounded a beautifully decorated carriage and walked in coldly and majestically from the alley.
"The Princess's Silver-Armored Cavalry!"
Qin Wenzheng seemed to know these warriors. His pupils shrank immediately. He hurriedly walked down the steps and bowed to pay his respects.
These Silver-Armored Cavalry were only for the Princess. Could it be that the Princess had come?
He was feeling uneasy.
Song Ruyue was also startled. She hurriedly took the maids and nannies beside her and hurried down the steps. She bowed and stood behind him, feeling terrified: Woo... Could they be here to confiscate the house?
The maids and nannies and the servants holding the grave-moving objects were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled.
During this period of time, the four major families had all been confiscated and everyone had been arrested. The whole Mo City was buzzing with rumors. Now it wouldn't be their Qin Mansion's turn, right?
The cavalry stopped.
The carriage surrounded in the middle also stopped.
The black-dressed girl riding on the silver-armored iron horse said coldly, "Mr. Luo, we're here."
"???"
Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue were stunned and raised their heads.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a tall figure wearing a wide Confucian robe walked out of the carriage.
Then, another familiar figure holding a sword walked out.
A few pairs of eyes met, and they were all stunned.
There was silence for a few breaths.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly took Xia Chan off the carriage and bowed: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Song Ruyue's eye muscles twitched fiercely a few times, walked forward, secretly poked her master with her elbow, and whispered: "Master, hit him! He dared to let us pay homage, he is rebellious!"
Qin Wenzheng raised his head and glanced at the silver-armored cavalry that shone coldly in the sun, then looked at the young man surrounded by the cavalry. He was silent for a while and whispered: "Ruyue, family affairs have always been decided by you, I won't overstep my authority, go."
Song Ruyue: "..."
The scene fell silent again.
"Brother-in-law..."
At this awkward moment for both parties, Miss Qin Er, wearing a plain white dress, walked out of the door with Qiu'er and Zhu'er.
