Chapter 269: The Second Move
Su Zixu looked for prestige, but just hooked his lips and smiled, and did not refute. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two concubines saw the chill on Su Zixu's face, and they felt creepy inexplicably, and shrank back in fear.
Like, it's too similar!
Empress Liu glared at them unhappily and chuckled, "Yue Xiurong has the heart to come to visit this palace, and this palace is very pleased. The same is true of the other sisters in the palace, who heard that the palace was sick, and came to visit them early in the morning, and when the palace saw you like this, the disease on her body was cured. ”
Everyone else could hear what Queen Liu was saying, her face changed slightly, and she smiled awkwardly.
It was Concubine Qi, whose face was impermanent, and she looked at the clothes on Su Zixu's body with great interest, and after a long time, she asked out loud: "Why is Yue Xiurong wearing red clothes today?" Hongu seems to remember that Tsuki's makeup used to like plain clothes, and the makeup seems to be different from before. ”
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Queen Liu, and said with a meaningful smile: "Queen Mother, do you think that Yue Xiu's dress today looks very much like an old man we know?" Speaking of which, the concubine hasn't thought of her for a long time. ”
Queen Liu's face stiffened, but she had been in the palace for many years, and unlike others, she had long learned to be happy and angry, and she quickly returned to nature, and said with a light smile: "It is indeed a little similar, but if you look closely, it is very different." ”
"Really? Look at the concubine, she is really old, and when she sees the red clothes, she unconsciously thinks of the old man. Concubine Qi shook her head and smiled.
Immediately, as if he had just discovered the apricot blossom on Su Zixu's forehead, he asked curiously and in surprise: "Yue Xiurong painted an apricot blossom on his forehead?" ”
Su Zi was slightly stunned, and then nodded in response: "Yes." ”
Queen Liu didn't notice the apricot blossom on Su Zixu's forehead just now, and when she heard Concubine Qi say this, she looked at Su Zixu's face carefully, and her face stiffened again.
"It's rare to see a Hongu who draws flowers on the forehead, I don't know why Yue Xiurong painted apricot blossoms on the forehead?"
Su Zixu touched his forehead and replied with a smile: "After the concubine moved into the palace, she accidentally saw a painting, the woman in the painting had an apricot blossom painted on her forehead, and the concubine also liked apricot blossoms. ”
The concubines in the hall looked at Su Zixu in horror, Su Zixu looked at them, and wondered: "Concubine Qi, is the apricot blossom on the concubine's forehead very strange?" ”
Concubine Qi shook her head: "No, so you wear red clothes and are also worn by women in painting?" ”
Su Zixu responded: "No, there is another reason why the concubine wears red clothes, and some rumors have come out of nowhere recently, saying that there are unclean things in the palace of the dead, and the concubines naturally don't believe in these things." It's just that the concubine has just moved into the new hall, no matter how you say it, it is a happy event, so it is natural to dress festively. ”
"I see." Concubine Qi glanced at Su Zixu, the smile in her eyes gradually faded, and she quietly paid attention to her every move.
Queen Liu tilted her head sideways and rubbed her eyebrows, and Xing'er asked out loud when she saw it, "Niangniang, are you tired?" ”
When Concubine Qi heard this, she looked at Queen Liu and said with a smile: "Is the queen tired?" ”
Queen Liu nodded: "It's okay, the wind was too strong last night, and the palace didn't sleep very well, just rest for a while." ”
Concubine Qi lowered her head and sneered, then stood up and said, "Since the queen mother is not feeling well, let's all disperse, don't disturb the queen mother's rest." ”
"Yes." Others can't see a good show, but they still have the ability to observe words and feelings, and seeing that Queen Liu has no intention of talking to them, it is also boring to stay in the palace, and it just so happened that Concubine Qi spoke out in advance, and she naturally couldn't ask for it in her heart.
Su Zixu also stood up and stepped aside.
Xing'er looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why hasn't Yue Xiurong left yet?" ”
Empress Liu also turned her head to look at her in confusion.
Su Zixu squinted his eyes and looked back, and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine came today, and there are still some things I want to say to the mother, please ask the queen mother to give the concubine a while, and the concubine will leave after speaking, and it will not delay the rest of the mother." ”
At the same time, Concubine Qi deliberately slowed down, and when she walked outside the hall, she heard the conversation between Su Zixu and Queen Liu, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with an unfathomable smile.
Empress Liu frowned and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”
Su Zixu walked to the center of the hall and arched his hand: "The concubine implores the queen to be the master of the concubine." ”
"Calling the shots? What happened, you want this palace to be the master for you? ”
Su Zixu's expression was entangled, and he hesitated for a long time, before he replied lightly: "Queen Mother, you must already know about the matter of the surviving palace, it is related to the reputation of the concubine, and the concubine made her own opinion, and asked people to check this matter and found that something was wrong, so I want to ask the queen to be the concubine." ”
"What's wrong? What did you find? Empress Liu immediately sat up straight and asked aloud, rubbing her fingers unconsciously.
Su Zixu lowered his head and said hesitantly: "The concubine is not completely sure, although she feels that the haunting of the palace is a fictitious thing, but when the concubine was about to move in, the news came out, and the concubine suspected that someone was deliberately targeting the concubine." However, the evidence of the concubines has not been found out, so I want to ask the queen to be the master of the concubines. ”
Empress Liu raised her eyebrows: "You didn't find evidence, if this palace went to check for no reason, wouldn't it confirm this ridiculous thing?" ”
Su Zixu looked around in fear and responded: "Queen Mother, so far, the concubines are really not secret. The concubine had just moved into the palace in the past two days, and she often heard some intermittent cries in the middle of the night, which was the cry of a woman, crying very sadly. The concubine felt that this matter was very ridiculous, but because of this, the concubine wanted Niangniang to help the concubine make the decision and find out about this matter. ”
Xing'er shouted: "Bold Moon Beauty, I actually talked nonsense and talked nonsense in front of my mother, how can there be a ghost in this world, you must have heard it wrong." ”
"Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't dare to lie, the concubine has no clue after checking for a long time, so she has to come to Niangniang to make the decision for the concubine, and the concubine does this just to find the truth and return the concubine to an innocence."
After Su Zixu finished speaking, he looked at Queen Liu and paused, and then said: "Moreover, if those rumors accidentally reach Yao'er's ears, they will definitely be unfavorable to Yao'er, and when the emperor blames it, the concubines can't afford this crime at all." ”
Queen Liu and Xing'er glanced at each other, pulled the corners of their lips, and said with a little displeasure: "What you said is true? ”
Su Zixu lowered his head, wiped his eyes aggrievedly, and responded: "Does the queen suspect that the concubine is telling a lie?" Since the concubine moved into the palace, there will always be a woman in red in her dreams, her head is painted with an apricot blossom like the concubine, she and the concubine shouted grievances, saying that they want the concubine to avenge her, the concubine is really scared, otherwise she will not come to the queen. ”
Queen Liu's face suddenly froze, she looked at Su Zixu in a daze, her breathing began to become rapid, and her hands trembled unconsciously.
