Chapter 268: An Unexpected Visitor
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Yunsheng, and at this time, they all looked at Chu Yunsheng with the same firmness in their eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After some details were discussed with everyone, everyone also evacuated from the secret room and began to busy with the tasks on their respective shoulders.
Chu Yunsheng's head still had a little headache, and the pain of standing and talking for so long at this time made the pain even worse.
She only frowned slightly, and Mrs. Qin on the side had already seen her strangeness, and hurriedly helped her to sit down on the side, and said with concern: "Ah Jin, how is it? Can you still hold on now? ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Qin, nodded, and then replied with a smile: "Well, I'm fine, there is still a while before the action, I will rest for a while, and then make adjustments, it should be fine, but you, be careful tonight, I am not by your side, I can't protect you at all times." ”
Although Chu Yunsheng still didn't shout out the word "mother", the concern in her words still moved Mrs. Qin, and she quickly nodded and said: "Mother naturally knows, but you, you must protect yourself well tonight, I really don't worry, otherwise, let me ...... with you."
Mrs. Qin said this, but when she saw Chu Yunsheng's firm eyes, she had no choice but to swallow the words that followed, then sighed and muttered: "Okay, since you have decided so, my mother respects your decision, and Ah Jin takes good care of herself." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Qin turned her eyes to look at Su Yun and said, "My Ah Jin will entrust it to you girl." ”
Seeing Su Yun nodded, Mrs. Qin reluctantly turned around and left, and had to keep up with the steps of Zhou Shen, who had already walked far away, and when she walked to the door of the stone room, she couldn't help but look back at Chu Yunsheng twice, then she gritted her teeth and turned around to leave.
When they all walked away, leaving only Su Yun and Chu Yunsheng, Su Yun said, "Girl, before General Zhou's people come to meet us, the girl should rest first." ”
Chu Yunsheng was indeed a little tired at this time, but she didn't plan to rest, the luck method taught to her by Brother Dumb had worked, she had to take advantage of this free time to try again and see if she could make the effect better.
Therefore, she only briefly communicated with Su Yun for a few words, and then returned to the bed and meditated cross-legged.
It wasn't until this time that he meditated for a week before Chu Yunsheng opened his eyes, and he heard the sound of rustling footsteps coming from the secret passage outside the stone room.
Calculating the time, it should be that General Zhou sent someone to go to the West Gate with them.
Sure enough, not long after, six men wearing linen clothes specially customized by Zhao Jun for the old Qin family army appeared at the door, and a big word "prisoner" was written on the front and back of this clothes, which was a veritable prison uniform.
The person who walked in front of him saluted Chu Yunsheng, and then introduced himself before Chu Yunsheng spoke: "Eldest Miss, I am Zhao Shijie sent by General Zhou Shen, and I was the commander of the Qin Family's Xiao Cavalry Camp before, they all call me Lao Zhao, these are also brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and a few of us are sent by the eldest lady." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded, she stood up, feeling that her body was indeed much more energetic than before this time, she turned her eyes to look at Su Yun, and then looked at a few people opposite: "Then, let's go." ”
The moment she left the stone room and closed the stone door again, the entire secret passage fell into boundless darkness again, however, at this time, Chu Yunsheng's heart was no longer so afraid, because she knew that there were too many companions around her to fight side by side with her, and this time, they couldn't afford to lose.
The future is uncertain, and this time, they can only succeed, not fail.
********
The summer is scorching, even if it is night, there is a wisp of evening breeze passing through the mountains and then pouring into the royal tomb, and the remaining wisp of wind is also warm, with a little impetuousness, which makes people feel uneasy inexplicably.
The guards at the main gate of the royal tomb did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because in the past few days, King Zhao was in the royal tomb, and there was a slight difference, and their subordinates would be punished lightly, and they would all lose their heads, because King Zhao had always been strict in governing the army, and he said nothing about it.
Therefore, even if the night makes people feel uneasy, the guards are forced to endure and force themselves to cheer up.
Just when a full moon was revealing the sky, a royal honor guard suddenly appeared at the end of the sight of the guards of the imperial tomb, and all the soldiers guarding the door were stunned, they did not expect to see the royal honor guard at this time, and it was clear that King Zhao was in the royal tomb at this time, at this time, who else would there be?
And at this time, how many people can use the royal honor guard of the Zhao Army?
Everyone had speculation in their hearts, and they didn't dare to come out, until the team approached, and a slender eunuch dressed as a person came over next to the largest carriage, and then pinched his slender voice and said, "The queen mother has arrived, why don't you kneel down quickly to greet you?"
Hearing this, all the soldiers defending the city were stunned, and the generals who reacted quickly had already sent small soldiers to report to the top.
However, when the queen mother drove to such a big event, how could no one inform her in advance? Everyone couldn't help but have this question in their hearts, but when they saw the sign and step that belonged to the royal family of Zhao alone, everyone didn't dare to have the slightest doubt, and immediately got up to greet them.
The team slowly entered the royal tomb, and at this time, the eunuch who had just given the order returned to the side of the car again, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, because they didn't get notified in advance, they are inevitably a little sluggish, and please don't blame them." ”
Hearing this, the curtain of the flower-sprinkling cart inlaid with colorful jewels was lifted by a Qianqian Su hand, and then, there was a girl who looked beautiful and combed the most popular palace maid costume in the Zhao Palace, and showed a half-smiling face, and said to the eunuch outside: "Niangniang is in a good mood today, I won't worry about them, let's hurry up, Niangniang is only looking forward to seeing Your Majesty sooner!"
Before her voice fell, a lazy voice sounded in the step: "You are poor." ”
Her voice was lazy and a little tired, but there was already a bit of joy in her tone that could not be concealed.
At this time, if there is a nearby royal tomb guard who is not afraid of death and raises his head to look at the past, he can also see the shadow sitting in the royal tomb at this time through a gap opened by the palace maid.
She is wearing a bright yellow gauze skirt, glass-like crystal texture, although it is only a faint moonlight sprinkled into the sky, but it also makes people seem to be able to see the luster that flows slowly on her body, not dazzling, not dazzling, but it is difficult to take off her eyes, and under this priceless palace dress, that pretty face is also so stunning, although at this time there is still a little lazy on her face, but the corners of her mouth can't help but rise slightly, and even between her eyebrows there is an unconcealable expectation and joy.
And this woman is none other than Tang Xuexu, the little princess of Yan Kingdom, that is, Tang Xuexu, who has been canonized by He Rong as the queen of Zhao.
It is also the enemy that Chu Yunsheng hated in his previous life.
It's just that although the two of them have entered this royal tomb in different ways, they don't know each other's existence.
Tonight's Tang Xue Xue changed her previous anxiety and anger, her eyebrows were a little more peaceful and happy, at this time, in her heart, she was thinking about what she would look like when she saw He Rong later, and she had sketched in her mind thousands of times the look he would reveal after telling He Rong the good news.
And she didn't know that at this time, He Rongzheng was standing in front of the desk with a gloomy face, he looked at the stacks of thick folds stacked in front of him, and the cold color on the corner of his mouth was even worse.
At this time, several generals kneeling on the ground trembled with fear, and none of them dared to raise their heads to look directly at the moody emperor.
Everyone felt that time had become so difficult at this time, that even taking a breath seemed to take an hour or two.
They were all silent, holding their breath, waiting for the moody emperor to wrath.
At this time, for them, the hidden emperor is more terrible than the emperor who will vent his anger, especially the person in front of them!
However, He Rong only looked at the desk in front of him coldly, and from time to time he turned his gaze to a few people who knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads.
In this way, time is even more difficult for these generals, they wish they could faint at this time, but everyone knows that if they faint at this time, then what a terrible ending awaits them.
Just when everyone was holding on and seeing that they were about to reach the limit of this difficult time, they heard the herald outside suddenly report: "Report to Your Majesty, the queen mother has arrived at the royal tomb, and she is rushing here at this time." ”
Hearing this news, everyone kneeling on the ground immediately felt relieved.
The queen mother came at this time, which means that He Rong has no time to face them at this time, which can at least give them a sigh of relief.
Therefore, for them, the arrival of the queen at this time is equivalent to saving their lives.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, He Rong's eyes moved, and a trace of imperceptible displeasure crossed his eyes, and then he raised his hand and gently brushed the folds on the desk, and then said to the few people kneeling below: "You go down first." ”
Although it was a calm and unwavering sentence, everyone was terrified when they heard it, but in the end, when they raised their eyes to look at He Rong and made sure that they had just heard these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief like amnesty, and then hurriedly bowed to He Rong, as if they had picked up a life, and hurriedly retreated.
When they were all gone, He Rong raised his hand and beckoned a close minister who had been following him, and said in a low voice, "Why is she here?"
Hearing this, the close minister, who was already in his forties, arched his hand to He Rong and blamed himself: "It's a dereliction of duty, but at this time, I really don't know about it, it should be the queen mother who ordered to go down and not let the palace release the news, so as to surprise Your Majesty." ”
It's okay not to mention this, mentioning this sentence, He Rong's eyes were even more cold, he lowered his eyes and looked at the case in front of him, and lowered his voice and said: "That's it, it's even more wrong, such a big thing, there is no news in advance, you go and deal with it, you can't let go of the people involved." ”
"No. ”
After receiving the order, the minister retreated, He Rong felt a sudden pain in his temples, recently, he always had a bad premonition, and this premonition became stronger and stronger, he could restrain his emotions very well, but recently, it was also because of the bad premonition that had been haunting him, to be precise, that he couldn't control his joy and anger.
However, he can't say exactly for what purpose.
Looking at the stacks of thick files and folds on the case, He Rong only felt that his head hurt even more, and he raised his hand and directly overturned the scrolls of the case on the ground in a fit of anger.
At this moment, a recital sounded outside: "The queen asks to see her." ”
As soon as he heard this word, He Rong only felt that his head hurt a little more, what he especially didn't want to see now was Tang Xuexu, when he thought of her, he couldn't help but feel a little bored in his heart, and this boredom and impatience had already been planted in his heart when he met her in the morning.
It's just because of his plan, at that time, he was still the powerless third prince of Zhao State, far from the throne, and he had no military power, Tang Xuexu, the little princess of Yan Kingdom, could naturally become his best help, however, as time went by, his forbearance for her in his heart gradually broke through the bottom line that he could suppress because of that disgust and impatience, so that now once he heard her name, he felt a little headache and was very reluctant to see her.
However, he didn't expect that she had traveled thousands of miles to get here, and there was no news to him in advance, thinking of this, He Rong felt more and more that those relevant personnel who were hiding for Tang Xuexu should be severely punished.
However, although he was already so disgusted in his heart, on the surface, he still had to restrain his emotions, and then when he raised his eyes and looked at the herald at the door, his eyes were as calm as water as always, and he said calmly: "Xuan." ”
Before his voice fell, the sound of the queen's mother Wanfu Jin'an bowed outside, and not long after, the figure of the person He Rong most unwilling to see appeared at the door.
He Rong didn't even want to look up at Tang Xuexu's figure at the door, let alone notice the costume she was deliberately wearing in order to come here today.
Seeing He Rong from a distance, Tang Xuexu's face was already filled with joy that could not be concealed, but when she happily walked to the middle of the room, she still resisted the urge to rush to He Rong, but lowered her head and bowed her eyes in a proper manner: "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”
