Chapter 50: The Autumn Wind Will Rise
Two slender figures were reflected on the vermilion window, one standing and one sitting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister Huang, was your injury okay yesterday?" a weak voice came out of the red window, coughing twice from time to time.
"I guess I won't get better for a while, how is the royal sister now?" I saw that in the room, a tall woman got up and handed a bowl of freshly brewed hot ginger tea to the woman sitting by the window, "Drink a little, warm up." This typhoid fever is not light, you should rest more. β
"It's still the imperial sister who is good to Xuan'er, and in the past three years that the imperial sister has been away, Xuan'er hasn't even had a chance to talk to someone. Mi Xuan sighed lightly, took the ginger tea and took a sip, then picked up the pillow towel that had been embroidered for many days and some intimate clothes used by women for their weddings, crossed the low table on the chaise longue and handed it to her and said, "The imperial sister is about to get married, Xuan'er has no long things, but there is still this bit of craftsmanship to get by, I hope the imperial sister will not dislike it." β
Mi Huang will not be a female worker, took a pair of dragon and phoenix pillow scarves embroidered by her and some newly made clothes to look at it, the pattern is beautiful, the color is harmonious, the lines are bright, and it looks alive and fragrant, not worse than the embroidery lady in the palace, no wonder I heard that even Mrs. Xian praised her embroidery skills, so she thanked, "Thank you for the generous gift of the imperial sister, if there is no these, I am afraid that my marriage will really open the skylight." "When every daughter's family gets married, there must be someone close to them or embroider some wedding supplies by herself, and she has not returned to Beijing for a few days, and it is too late for them to rush to make the system day after day, and she has other things to tell them to do.
It's rare that at this time, in this deep palace, there is still someone who can think of these locks for her, even if it's just a gesture of goodwill?
Mi Huang blurted out, "If you get married one day, the imperial sister will give you ten times the gift to ensure that you get married beautifully." β
"Imperial Sister ......" Thinking of Uncle Ao, who was defending her in front of people the day before yesterday, Mi Xuan lowered her pretty face when she heard this, and couldn't help but blush, "If there really is that day, as long as the imperial sister can agree to me with a request, nothing else is necessary." Love, Xuan'er will find it herself. β
"Okay, don't say one request, ten requirements will do. Thinking of the fate of Mi Xuan in this life because of her change, Mi Huang assured.
"Then Xuan'er is here, thank you to Sister Huang. "Mi Xuan is not a hypocritical person," and wished the imperial sister a happy marriage. I don't know anything about my sister, but this is quite accurate, after this marriage, if Ao Gongzi will be very good to his sister. β
"I'm afraid I'll break it in my mouth, and I'm afraid I'll fall if I hold it in my hand...... Huh!"
"Don't make fun of me, how can he be as good as you say!" Mi Huang said secretly in his heart, you don't know the true temperament behind him, which is far less gentle and elegant than the surface.
"Sister, wait and see if what my sister said today is a joke. "How could Mi Xuan not know Mi Huang's thoughts, but he was afraid that he was not on Ruo Ao Ziyan's body at all, so he changed his words and talked about the main topic of today's visit, "I heard that the imperial sister is going to a banquet in three days?"
"Hmm. Mi Huang sat on the other side, hearing the words with a solemn face, she was also catching the events of three days later.
"Sister Huang, I'm afraid that there will be no good banquet. Mi Xuan grabbed the handkerchief in his hand and said worriedly.
"Imperial sister, but what did you hear?" Mi Huang raised her eyebrows and asked, she believed that since Mi Xuan would get the news so quickly, she was afraid that there was really some conspiracy in it.
"Xuan'er's maid met a palace maid in the Purple Smoke Palace at noon today, and when she heard her talk about some broken words, Xuan'er always felt uneasy. Mi Xuan got up and walked to Mi Huang's side, whispered in her ear, "The imperial sister must be careful, she didn't follow her way, and ruined the good marriage." β
Sending away Mi Xuan, Mi Huang half leaned on the couch and pondered, until late at night, the sky above the palace of Chu suddenly sounded the sound of a silk bamboo drum music, and the cold full moon was high in the air, exuding a bleak and miserable brilliance.
In the empty bedroom, the candle flame was faint, Si Qin asked hesitantly, "Since the second princess has said it, princess, what are you going to do!"
Mi Huang got up and walked to the dresser, untied her hair and prepared to rest, and turned back when she heard the words, "You don't know that Princess Wu seems to be smiling and welcoming, but in fact, she is the most hidden needle, but it is better to deal with it than Mi Zhao's ruthless face, as long as we find out her mind over the years, it will be easier to recuperate." "Besides, Mi Zhao has been chasing Ruo Ziyan for so many years, no one knows who doesn't know, and the admirers who were killed by her openly and secretly don't know how many, and now she has become his fiancΓ©e, first assassinated, and now the assassination can't be done, there must be a demon moth before the wedding, if she doesn't kill herself, she will never give up with her temperament.
She still remembered the meaningful look when Mi Zhao left today.
Her temperament just can't be hidden, and it's hard for people to guard against it.
Si Qin looked at Mi Huang's expression, and his originally uneasy heart slowly fell silent, but he still reminded, "But the princess and the son are engaged, we must be a little better than before, there is no need to put up with the third princess again and again, but in the end it made the son unhappy." β
"I have my own plans, so don't worry. Mi Huang nodded in understanding, but she felt that she had just gotten engaged to Ruo Ao Ziyan, and he was of that status, so she didn't feel that it was time to make a heart-to-heart, so she asked again, "Can you contact Qin Hong later?"
"Contacted, Princess. Si Qin sighed, "Her only sister died so miserably, and the two of them have served Mi Zhao with all their hearts and souls, but they almost ended up feeding snakes together, how can they not hate?"
"In this harem, apart from the King of Chu, there must be no woman who does not hate these two women. Mi Huang said quietly, as long as he remembered the fate of being fed the white snake by Mi Zhao in his previous life, a hatred that had been suppressed for many years suddenly came to his heart, and he commanded coldly, "What's the situation, ask her to write a note and press it on a corner of the rockery of the Purple Smoke Palace, and I will pick it up when the time comes." β
"Don't worry, princess, I've got it all arranged. β
"Hmm. β
The night was miserable, Mi Huang wore a cloak and walked to the window, pushed open the Zhu window, and the sassy autumn wind blew in, blowing away her green silk, flying up and down in the wind, like a black phoenix flag, waving a hideous flag, pointing to the unique palace that is still brightly lit in the deep palace of Chu State.
Darkness shrouded half of her beautiful face, light and dark, and a white light cut out of her eyes like a three-foot sword edge.
Above the sky, the cold moon hangs high, but no matter how high she is, there will always be a time when the sun rises and the moon sets.
In the study of the Dawn Palace, the white candle had a high fever, and Ruo Ao Ziyan, who had returned from the re-examination of the King of Chu's dormitory and went to the Imperial Hospital and the Zheng Yuan to consider the prescription for medicine, also had not yet slept.
"Is there any news about the assassins?"
"Childe is wise, our people have been staring at the Wu family for two days, and they have already made some discoveries. Qingpu bowed.
"Very well, then arrange it. The sword eyebrows were slightly clustered, like jade's knuckles, lightly buckled on the long case, making a sound of "deed", after a long time, those deep eyes were opened, and he said, "I heard that Wu Yue, the whole Wu family hurt him into eyeballs, even Princess Wu is no exception." β
"Yes, the Purple Smoke Palace has been very strict with him in the past two days, presumably to let him restrain for a while. β
"Think of a way to get him out of the palace without me knowing. Ruo Ao Ziyan nodded.
"Yes, Qingpu will definitely entertain Gongzi Wu Yue for a few days for the princess. Qingpu agreed with a smile, and then said, "By the way, Childe, there is a word from the second department that it was found that the day before the assassination, Wang Yin's young lady had privately sent someone to deliver a message to the palace. β
"Don't we still have extra Xuelan with aromatic fat, find someone to send a box to the palace, and tell that person what you said to the third princess today. The disgusted ones didn't even want to mention each other's names, as long as they thought of the box of Xuelan containing aromatic fat that Mi Zhao was going to leave today, Ruo Ao Ziyan, who disdained these boring disputes among women, flashed a trace of scheming in his deep eyes, "Don't they all want to get involved, hmph, then I'll let them fight with each other to see who will win in the end." β
"Yes, Childe. β
Qingpu was silent after speaking, they all saw today's events, how could they not be angry, and after a long time, they presented a bunch of folds sent into the palace like a child, and said, "Childe, this is to order Yin to be sent to the palace today, saying that it will be handed over to you for approval." β
"Well, put it down. "Flipping through the stacks of folds on the table, they are basically speculations about assassination and poisoning, some say that the subject country below is not subordinate to send people to assassinate, and some say that it is the revenge of the defeated Yongguo against the Huanghuang, anyway, they are all some unfounded speculations, but what he really wants to do is other things, raise his eyes through the door and window to look at the bedroom that is only separated from the study by one hall, and there is still a yellow light on the lamp.
Ruo Ziyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and shook his head, it seems that he will be busy until dawn tonight.
