Chapter 217: Stretching the Net
Empress Dowager Xiao listened to the play, and Emperor Qinglong accompanied her, occasionally discussing the drama with her, and peeling peanuts for her with her own hands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The most noble pair of mother and son in the Gaomang Dynasty, at this time, the old lady is kind and the son is filial, which is no different from the mother and son of ordinary people. Empress Cao knew that Emperor Qinglong treated Empress Dowager Xiao with great filial piety, and she didn't bother their rare time together, and sat quietly to listen to the play.
Wu Zhengxiang was sitting in the side hall of the shadow guard, and news collected from the palace to his hands.
At the end of the day, Tong Huachi got out of the tea shop and got into an inconspicuous carriage. ”
After going around in two circles, Tong Huachi got out of the carriage and entered the backyard of a wine shop next to the Luoshui Wharf. ”
Several strange men holding the Jiangnan Road entered the city from Changxia Gate, Dingding Gate, and Jianchun Gate respectively. ”
This piece of news all shows that Tong Huachi wants to take advantage of today's emperor's birthday to plan something. Wu Zhengxiang groaned slightly, and it was time to close the net.
"Shadow Lei, you ordered the Lei Group of ten people to immediately go to the liquor shop at Luoshui Wharf and supervise the liquor shop. As soon as Tong Huachi showed his head, he killed him. ”
"Qiu Ye, you wait for the two people in the wind group and the two people in the Lei group, and stand by in the 'Baolin Garden' to protect the safety of the Lord. ”
The two took the order and left, and Wu Zhengxiang tapped lightly on the table. Tong Huachi's plan must not be so simple, the wine shop is mostly a disguise, and his real intention must be in the palace.
As the commander of the former shadow guard, it is not surprising that there are nails buried in Tong Huachi in the palace.
Yunshao class, Taihe class, and Xianglong class, the three opera troupes that entered the palace to perform, each person's net worth was turned out by the shadow guards and checked for three generations, and no problems were found. But this is not guaranteed, and there are no people who have mixed into Tonghua Pond.
He thought in his mind, the net had been opened, and he was waiting for Tong Huachi to throw himself into the net.
In "Baolin Garden", most of the play has been played, Shi Jieyu stood up with her stomach and said to Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, I feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
Concubine Fu Xian said with concern: "Is there something wrong?"
Shi Jieyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll just take a walk." Today is the emperor's holy birthday, don't disturb everyone's interest. ”
Concubine Fu Xian nodded and ordered: "Xinyue, take good care of your master, the dragon species is important." ”
Xinyue helped Shi Jieyu to exit the high platform of the play and walked towards the nearby Imperial Garden. Since she said that she was going to go out for a walk, it was better to take a walk, Shi Jieyu has always been very careful at this point, so that people can't get her handle.
When Liu Zhaoyuan saw her go out, a smile of unknown meaning rose at the corner of her mouth, and she bowed her knees slightly to Concubine Fu Xian, and then got up and walked in the direction of Shi Jieyu.
Concubine Fu Xian took a cup of tea and slowly tasted the tea, hiding the smug look in her eyes.
Shi Jieyu walked out of the "Baolin Garden" and walked slowly along a path, and the clusters of moons were blooming brightly. Although the scenery of the Imperial Garden is beautiful, I have been watching it for several years, and I am tired of seeing it no matter how exquisite it is.
"Niangniang, let's go to the rockery in front to rest, and then go back to Chunling Palace. ”
Shi Jieyu nodded, she had been walking for a while, and she had done enough. After I go back, I will send a palace maid to "Baolin Garden" to report a message, and today will be regarded as dealing with the past.
Everyone in the palace has a small abacus, she has limited manpower, and she does not have a lot of money in hand to open the way, how dare she stay outside longer? Thinking of what Liu Zhaoyuan said in front of the "Yanqing Palace," she felt a chill down her spine, and only when she returned to the Chunling Palace did she dare to rest assured.
The crescent moon helped her, spread a handkerchief on the stone bench in front of the rockery, and waited for her to sit down.
Shi Jieyu squinted slightly and stroked her stomach. The doctor said that she would give birth next month, and her heart was finally about to be implemented. The child in the belly kicked her at the right time, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Xinyue, he moved, just moved again!"
Xinyue smiled: "Congratulations Niangniang! ”
The two were happy, and a mocking voice came: "Jieyu Niangniang is so interested!"
Shi Jieyu was startled, looked up, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Zhaoyuan Niangniang." ”
Liu Zhaoyuan stood in front of her with mockery at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "Jieyu Niangniang also has a heart. It's a pity that my child died before the fetus could move. ”
Shi Jieyu's face sank, and she said: "What do you mean by Zhaoyuan Niangniang's words? You slipped in the old days, and my sister was also heartbroken, and I begged the emperor to go to Yijing Palace to visit my sister several times. It's my sister, you can't keep the emperor if you don't fight for yourself, what does it have to do with me?"
Liu Zhaoyuan's right hand flipped to reveal the jade pendant held in his palm, glanced at Shi Jieyu and said: "Jieyu is so eloquent, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have been moved by you." I just don't know, Jieyu Niangniang still knows this thing?"
Shi Jieyu's eyes shrank, how could she not recognize this jade pendant? It was owned by Biyun, the only maid she brought into the palace, how could it end up in Liu Zhaoyuan's hands?
Seeing her face change slightly, Liu Zhaoyuan said again: "I have a few words I want to make clear to you, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the rockery." ”
Xinyue was startled and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you can't go! Zhaoyuan Niangniang, what do you want to do?"
Liu Zhaoyuan's face sank, and he said, "Give me a palm!"
Zi Mo, who was standing on the side, stepped forward, picked up his palm, slapped Xinyue in the mouth, and said, "Our Zhaoyuan Niangniang asked, how can you, a slave, intervene." ”
Zhaoyuan is one of the nine concubines, even if she is out of favor now, she firmly suppresses Shi Jieyu in her position. She wanted to teach Shi Jieyu a lesson to the palace maids around her, and Xinyue had to bear it.
Zi Mo has been practicing drums all year round, and the strength in his hands is different from that of ordinary weak women, just one slap made five red and swollen fingerprints float on Xinyue's cheeks, and blood flowed from his mouth.
Where did Xinyue think that she would beat her, covering her face and looking at Liu Zhaoyuan resentfully, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Seeing that Xinyue was beaten, Shi Jieyu's heart was not calm. In the past, Liu Zhaoyuan was so gentle and kind, and he couldn't even bear to let the little palace maid kneel, but now he does it without saying a word.
Liu Zhaoyuan looked at Shi Jieyu with an incredulous expression, and smiled slightly: "Is it hard to believe? I will also hit someone." Just say a few words, Jieyu Niangniang, don't worry, I'm not you, I'm not interested in your belly. ”
Shi Jieyu said: "Let me think about it." "At the moment, there are only two of her, Xinyue, and she is pregnant again, and she is obviously not the opponent of Liu Zhaoyuan's master and servant. She wanted to delay for a moment and wait for someone to pass by.
"You think slowly, I'm not in a hurry. There are few people in this imperial garden on weekdays, and now it is the emperor's holy birthday, all of them are around the emperor, except for you and me, who else will come?" Liu Zhaoyuan said a word to break her mind.
Shi Jieyu weighed again and again, and what Liu Zhaoyuan said was also the truth. She is pregnant with a dragon species, if she dares to make a move, it will be a sure crime of "murdering the emperor's heir", and she is not afraid of her.
However, her intentions need to be further clarified. Thinking of this, Shi Jieyu raised her head and asked, "What if I don't go?"
