Chapter 180: Blame from both sides
Qingqing thought about what the Queen Mother said, and then looked at Yu Xuan's eyes drifting away. After taking a sip of tea, he asked, "Are you blaming me?"
Yu Xuan looked at her and asked, "Why should I blame you?"
Qingqing said: Because I invited the envoy of the Saiwai vassal into the Luanjiao Palace.
Yu Xuan paused indifferently, and then said: It's not what you think.
Qingqing sighed and said: If there is something to say, just say it, why bother.
Hearing this, Yu Xuan looked at Qing Qing, and she also looked at him. The two of them looked at each other, and Yu Xuan said: I never thought that you would allow that envoy to enter the palace, according to your temperament, you should ignore it. Qingqing, can you explain to me why?
Qingqing smiled apologetically and said: Recently, I guessed a few points about your future, I thought you wouldn't care, it seems that I was wrong. You're right, according to my nature, I won't pay attention to that person, and if he is my old friend, it's not good to see him.
Yu Xuan didn't expect this to be the case, and after thinking about it again, he asked: As a person from outside the Sai, how did you become friends with him?
Qingqing said: When we were still in the hills, we met, but we met a few times, there was a face-to-face, and there was no deep friendship, and then to Xifeng, the two met by chance, and it was fate to meet the old man in another country. At that time, I didn't know that he was from outside the Sai, and I never thought that I would see him in Xifeng's harem.
Yuxuan Dao: I see. Do you know what the reward he offered me?
Qingqing listened and asked, "What?"
Yu Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: You.
Qingqing didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Xuan said: The man pointed out the words and begged me to reward the queen to him.
Qingqing laughed, held back her voice, and said: He was just joking with the emperor.
Yu Xuan couldn't laugh. Chu Yun's words and the look on his face at that time didn't look like he was joking, let alone above the court, no one would say that kind of thing casually for the sake of a joke.
I only heard Yu Xuan say: Your old friend is not what you think.
Yu Xuan's face was heavy, and when Qing Qing saw this, she knew that things were not as simple as she thought.
And Qingqing's lowering of his head and silence made Yu Xuan's chest tingle, and he didn't want to stay a little longer. I saw him get up indifferently and said: There are still passolds to be approved in the Qianqing Palace, so I'll go back first.
Qingqing got up, and after Yu Xuan left, she realized that Chu Yun was calculating her all the time. But no matter what, she had made up her mind not to pay attention to the villain anymore.
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Sanren served hot tea and lit an oil lamp to illuminate the hall.
Yu Xuan's armrest hung down on the table, folded and opened, the ant-sized characters were all over it, and the eyes were stinging in the oily light, and the boiling tea was placed in front of him, steaming. Irritability arose, and I didn't want to watch it anymore.
Yu Xuan said: Sanren, put out the lights and take down the tea. I'm tired.
Sanren listened to the words and said: Yes.
Then he asked: Does the emperor stay here tonight, or go to Niangniang's to rest?
Sanren hung his head and spoke, not daring to look at Yuxuan's eyes. It is vain to ask, but I have to ask.
After a long while, I didn't listen. Sanren looked up slightly.
Suddenly: The Queen Mother asked you to say this?
Sanren held his breath and replied in a low voice: The queen mother told the slaves a few words to take care of the emperor, and did not say anything else. It's just that the slave saw that the emperor was unhappy, thinking that the emperor would go to the mother's house, Xu Neng was relieved, so he dared to ask.
Yu Xuan said: Remember, don't ask this kind of thing again.
Yu Xuan's face was flushed with anger, and it was clear only when he heard this. Sanren didn't dare to stand anymore. I saw him kneeling down and kowtowing, and said in his mouth: The emperor is angry!
Yu Xuan sighed and said, "That's it, let's go down."
Sanren got up, bowed out of the hall, and closed the door of the temple with his backhand.
There is only one person left in the hall, the candles are bright, the orange flame is gorgeous, and Yuxuan remembers the night scene of the wedding day in a trance. There are red lights and red silk everywhere in the Luanjiao Palace, and the red heart is trance-turned, and the bead curtain jade pendant is provoked, and the beautiful and charming people are seen, and a pair of eyes that are like water and spring are even more fascinating. After drinking a glass of wine, why didn't he perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou? Yu Xuan remembered that it was the eunuch who came to pass the word, saying that because of the urgency of the border matter, the ministers entered the palace overnight, waited outside the Qianqing Palace, and waited for me to go back to discuss, so they returned to the Qianqing Palace. Since then, he has never stayed in the Luanjiao Palace. Yu Xuan knew in his heart that Qing Qing did not want him to stay overnight, and after saying that he was unwell a few times, as long as it was after dinner, Yu Xuan would go back to the Qianqing Palace. Yu Xuan had been waiting for Qing Qing to keep him, but in the end it hurt his heart.
A few more days passed. The rumors in the palace have not gone away. The envoys outside the palace did not leave.
The courtiers who were in charge of taking care of Chu Yun's living expenses had no way to do anything, they had already prepared two days ago, and they could immediately go on the road after waiting for the envoy's words, and sent someone to send him out of the customs and rush back to the outside of the fortress. But after asking many times, Chu Yun just said: This Xifeng country can't allow me to stay for a few days? Besides, your emperor still owes me an answer, I should always wait for a reply.
These words were transmitted to Yu Xuan's ears as they were. Immediately, Chu Yun was summoned into the palace.
In the Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were all sent down, and they were not allowed to enter or enter, and even Sanren withdrew from the palace gate.
Chu Yun was cynical, sat on the side of the study with a smile on his face, and asked: I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned his ministers into the palace?
Yu Xuan said: Is the envoy really not knowing?
Chu Yundao: Does the emperor want to play a guessing game with me?
Chu Yun's words and deeds are no longer as polite and polite as when he first came to Xifeng, and this words and deeds greatly exceed the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. In this regard, Yu Xuan felt that this person was arrogant and had no one in his eyes, and because of Qingqing's connection, his face was even more solemn, and his tone became more and more heavy.
Yu Xuan Dao: Is I playing, or is the envoy playing a game with me?
Hearing this, Chu Yun looked at Yu Xuan, the two of them exchanged eyes, Chu Yun laughed coldly, and said: Why should the emperor be angry, but he is just a woman, why should he use this great country to guard? As long as the emperor gives me an order to reward her, I can leave none of the things that let me bring back to the outside of the fortress, and the stalemate outside the border pass, the emperor can also rest assured, as long as I am here, there will be no more war in this border pass of Xifeng. The people and soldiers at the border also lived in peace.
Seeing that Yu Xuan was silent, Chu Yun said again: In the folk of Xifeng, I have heard many times that the people talk about the emperor's heroic deeds, no matter how they hear it, they are all words of praise, so it is not enviable. But at this moment and time, a mistake in the monarch's decision-making will make them bankrupt, displaced, and miserable, is the emperor willing to see that scene, or hear their cursing?
The words are piercing. This statement is not true, but it is not false. As soon as the war began, it was not said that the people at the border would suffer, and everyone in the nearby cities would be in danger.
