Chapter 114: Examination (Part 2)
"Mother, mother-"
The woman's voice sounded in a little panic, and with the sound of hurried footsteps breaking the peace of Changchun Palace, Cheng Guifei, who was originally sitting on the soft collapse, rubbing a green jade carved bamboo phoenix pattern Ruyi's body stiffened slightly, and almost at the same time could not hide the waiting to look over, seemingly calm, but you can't help but pick into the nails of Ruyi's carved nails to see the master's nervousness.
"How's it going. β
As soon as Concubine Cheng took out of her mouth, she heard a "bang-" sound, and the big palace maid who hurriedly approached knelt down with Suizhu, her face was a little strange, her slightly pale face was soaked with sweat beads due to the urgency of walking, her delicate lips trembled slightly, and she said almost cautiously: "Slave, slave and maid see from afarββ"
Cheng Guifei's heart almost rose to her throat with Suizhu's words, her body involuntarily leaned forward a little, and her nails were even tighter at the jade Ruyi, but then the words were like a small pebble thrown into the pool, with deeper and deeper ripples.
"Lord Feng of Qianhe Palace is about to arrive at Changchun Palaceββ"
Cheng Guifei's beautiful eyes froze at once, and the originally gentle and beautiful delicate face froze for a while, gradually becoming difficult to see, Cheng Guifei stuck her nails in Ruyi's phoenix eyes, and couldn't help but comfort herself, and barely pulled out a somewhat soothing smile and said: "What about Dongchang?"
Hearing Cheng Guifei's question, Suizhu's body couldn't help trembling, and then she fell down more and more, her forehead almost touched the ground covered with a soft blanket, and her messy and sweat-soaked broken hair fell in embarrassment, and a shadow was sprinkled to cover the woman's expression, but the intermittent words exposed her panic.
"Dong-Dongchang is no different, it's just that one prisoner seems to have been sent to Qianhe Palace-"
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Guifei almost felt a thunderclap explode in her ears, which made her brain boom, Dongchang is no different, that means that the matter has not been completed, otherwise how could it be so calm.
As for the prisoner, it seems that he can guess who it is without much thought.
The hall is quiet, only a faint Su Hexiang is circling, suddenly, Cheng Guifei "poof-" a chuckle came out, Suizhu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the sound, and looked at Cheng Guifei on the seat in surprise, only to see that she sat up slightly straight, put away the lazy charm, looked more dignified, raised her hand and slightly touched the sideburns, the next moment, you can hear the abrupt sound suddenly sounded.
"Concubine Niangniang, slave Feng Wei was ordered to pass on His Majesty's message. β
At that moment, Cheng Guifei's face was slightly pale, a little sluggish, only for a moment, everything was calmly covered again, in the stunned of Sui Zhu, Cheng Guifei freely hooked the corners of her lips, and said as gently as before: "Come in." β
The footsteps gradually sounded, and the neatly dressed Feng Wei walked in and respectfully saluted Cheng Guifei, and then politely raised a smile and said: "Guifei Niangniang, pass on Your Majesty's message, and summon Niangniang to go to Qianhe Palace to face the saint." β
Hearing this, Concubine Cheng asked softly, "Does Gonggong Feng know, what did Your Majesty pass on to me?"
Feng Wei pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and replied lightly: "Your Majesty Tianwei, where did the slave and maid speculate, and the mother lifted it." β
An indescribable laugh came out softly from the tip of Cheng Guifei's nose, and as Cheng Guifei stood up solemnly, Feng Wei bowed down almost at the same time, very close to courtesy, Cheng Guifei walked down the phoenix couch step by step, and when she came to Feng Wei's body, she paused imperceptibly, slightly sideways, and her eyes were dark and unpredictable.
"Father-in-law Feng, but it's getting more and more beautiful. β
As soon as the voice as light as a feather blew indifferently fell, before Feng Wei could reply, the noble figure in front of him slowly left, and when he looked up, he could only see the back that was as straight as ever, and the slightly raised side face.
When she walked to the gate of Qianhe Palace, looking at the warm palace after the wind and snow, Concubine Cheng's hand couldn't help but stiffen, and before she could be given time to think, she saw Feng Wei, who had gone in to report to her, slowly walked out, bowing respectfully from beginning to end and smiling: "Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty invites you to go in." β
The corners of Concubine Cheng's mouth curved slightly, and finally recuperated her appearance, only slightly raised her head to look at the cold waning moon in the night sky, and the next moment she closed her head indifferently and walked in calmly step by step.
Until she walked to the last soft curtain, Cheng Guifei almost involuntarily froze, took a deep breath lightly, but felt the chill go straight into her throat, her hand tightened, and the stinging pain of her nails clenching into her palm made her wake up suddenly, only to see the soft curtain lifted, with a beam of light, Cheng Guifei's figure had already walked in, and the soft curtain fell again, covering the last ray of light again.
"Your Majestyβ"
Emperor Jianheng sat silently behind the dragon case, his expression was calm and heavy, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be extremely tired, hearing the familiar voice, his originally curled hand moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes, and then looked at the gentle and gentle figure in front of him, almost like a world away.
"It's coming. β
He never thought that the person who spoke softly and could iron his troubles because of the trivialities of government affairs at the beginning, he had never seen through.
"It's been twenty years, and I don't know that the you in front of me are still not you. β
The emperor's voice was soft and tired, and the corners of Cheng Guifei's lips were indifferently hooked when she heard the voice, and then she raised her head calmly, as if she didn't understand, and said with a soft smile: "In the past twenty years, Your Majesty has become a father and grandfather, and how can the concubines remain the same, the concubines are old, their faces are no longer the same, and they are no longer the same as when they were girls." β
A barely audible chuckle came, with a slightly dull nasal voice, which made Cheng Guifei hide the words behind her, and the next moment, the emperor looked at the people below with the feelings of his youth as he did when he first saw them, but only Cheng Guifei could see the scrutiny carried under that emotion, as well as the anger that gradually rose.
"I heard that during the lifetime of the Empress Dowager Xiaowen, you were very filial and had a lot of contacts. β
Cheng Guifei lowered her chin gently when she heard this, and replied with kindness: "Daxing governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the concubines have no talent, and they do not have the ability to manage the harem like the queen mother and the imperial concubine mother, so they can only do their best in filial piety." β
It seemed that every sentence was lightly hit on the cotton, and the smile in the corner of Emperor Jianheng's eyes gradually rose, and the emotion in his eyes gradually melted, revealing a cold scrutiny.
"Over the years, I have always thought that you were the only one in the harem, and there was nothing to ask for. β
When Emperor Jianheng exhaled these words tiredly, he gradually fell into a memory, and his eyes rolled back again, and the corners of his lips hooked up a little mockery.
"I never thought that the gentle girl who entered the palace would be willing to resist the catastrophe for the emperor and grandson of the East Palace, and fell into such a cold pool with her body for seven months, obviously trembling because of the cold and pain, but she still comforted me with weak words with all her might. β
Concubine Cheng's expression gradually froze and became indifferent, but at that moment, Emperor Jianheng opened his eyes and looked at the past almost unfamiliarly, and his words were full of cold sighs.
"Now that everything has changed, and when I think about it, I feel more and more that the person who has been lying by my side for countless days and nights is so strange and vicious, perhaps, from that moment on, you have used the child in your womb to calculate the people of the world. β
Seeing the subtle tremor in Concubine Cheng's hand, the corners of Emperor Jianheng's mouth gradually hooked up with cold sarcasm.
"By my side, how can there be a person like you with a heart like a snake and scorpion, it turns out that you are the most desireless, but you want more than anyone else, Awan, you even deceived me. β
