Chapter 156: The Secret Meeting of the Deep Palace (2)
The heavy rain of midsummer brings coolness, and all the heat of the day is swept away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The thunder and lightning, like torrential rain, are enough to cover up all the evils that are happening in the world.
Dazzling lightning illuminated the night as bright as day, and the deafening thunder that followed made the earth seem to tremble.
In an ordinary room in the apse of Fengxiang Palace, Queen Pei, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, was sitting precariously.
There was no light in the room, and her cold-stiff face flickered on and off with frequent lightning, making it look particularly gloomy.
The reason why the secret passage is called the secret passage is because very few people know about it.
There is a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace in this room, except for her and Mama Zheng, even Qi Su doesn't know about it.
The reason why Yu Wenhao revealed this secret to her at the beginning was for today.
In fact, she and Mama Zheng only knew that the exit was here, and they didn't know how long the secret passage was or where the exit was.
Everyone has curiosity, it's not that she doesn't want to find out the situation of this secret passage thoroughly, but compared to the benefits of mastering an escape secret passage, the price paid is immeasurable.
And once someone is sent to investigate, the news will inevitably leak, and the secret passage will be completely abolished.
However, even if she didn't send someone to investigate this secret passage carefully, she couldn't help but think about some strange things.
The imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not rebuilt, but inherited from the previous dynasty and renovated and expanded on the basis of the imperial palace of the previous dynasty.
In other words, before her, Fengxiang Palace had already had many hostesses.
Not to mention, the Empress Dowager, who is now recuperating in Ci'an Palace, has lived in Ci'an Palace for nearly 20 years.
With the shrewdness of the old lady, she didn't even discover the existence of this secret passage!
There is no doubt about this at all, if the old lady knew, she would definitely not hide it from the first emperor, since the first emperor handed over the country to Yu Wenzhao, he would never hide such a small secret passage.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager and the first emperor really didn't know that there was a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace in Fengxiang Palace.
So the question is, how did Yu Wenhao know the secrets that neither the Empress Dowager nor the first emperor knew?
Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and there was a deafening thunder, Empress Pei took out her pocket watch and looked at it, and the hands were getting closer and closer.
Her heart tightened, and the hour was over, and he was coming.
Sure enough, it lived up to her expectations, and a moment later, a very ordinary blue brick in the corner of the wall suddenly moved.
Empress Pei almost jumped up from her chair and quickly threw herself into the corner.
The bricks were gently removed, and a faint light shone through the secret passage.
The male voice that haunted her and could never forget it came out of the secret passage gently: "Ah Yu, come down." ”
Empress Pei paused, looked down at the secret passage, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Yu Wenhao was dressed in white, like a prince who was about to go to a luxurious feast.
Although he was under the dark secret passage, his snow-white brocade robe was still not stained with dust and was gorgeous and glamorous, and more than ten years of time had not made his face age, and even more charming than before.
The gentle eye waves are ironed like spring water, and the flawless big hands are even more irresistible.
Empress Pei put her slender hand into Yu Wenhao's palm and followed him down the secret passage.
No one has been in or out of the secret passage for a long time, and the smell is naturally not much better, and it is even mixed with this musty smell.
But Queen Pei felt that the dark fragrance of the man beside her was as beautiful as before, which was enough to cover up all the unpleasant smells.
The heart that thought it had been sealed for a long time showed signs of resurgence, poof, poof...... The faster she jumped, she didn't even notice how the green bricks were closing.
About a cup of tea later, Yu Wenhao pulled Queen Pei into a secret room.
There were several lights lit in the secret room, much brighter than the previous fire fold.
Empress Pei gently broke free of her hand from the big fleshy palm as if she had just reacted.
Yu Wenhao didn't care about her small movements, pointed to the chair not far away and said, "Ah Yu, sit down and talk." ”
Probably intimidated by the other party's peerless appearance, Queen Pei was extremely unconfident in her haggard appearance covered by gorgeous clothes and decorations, and pursed her lips and walked towards the chair.
She sat down sideways, disdainful of her lack of confidence and helplessness.
Obviously, her status is higher than that of the other party, and she is no longer the young woman who is desperate to stay with her beloved man for life, but she is ......
Yu Wenhao didn't seem to notice her twisting at all.
Instead of sitting down with her, he stood at the door of the secret room and calmly watched her every move.
After a long time, he smiled softly: "Ah Yu, the phoenix robe really suits your temperament the most." ”
Empress Pei's face hadn't flushed with shyness for many years, but now she blushed like a girl in her cardamom years.
She really felt that her temperament was very compatible with this phoenix robe, but she couldn't bear to be boasted like this.
Fortunately, she is the queen mother who has experienced a big scene, and she has made sufficient preparations before this meeting, otherwise it is really difficult to resist Yu Wenhao's usual methods.
Empress Pei cleared her throat, her complexion quickly returned to normal, and she said indifferently: "Your Highness's invitation to this palace late at night must have something important to discuss, don't care about him." ”
The corners of Yu Wenhao's mouth curved slightly, walked to Queen Pei's side with elegant steps, sat down calmly and said: "I'm just talking about the past, since Ah Yu doesn't like to listen to it, then I won't talk about it." ”
Empress Pei's mind was completely clear, she raised her eyes to look at this small secret room, and said, "Your Highness has endured for many years, what are your plans to re-enter Beijing once you re-enter the capital?"
Yu Wenhao didn't answer her question directly, and said softly: "Ah Yu, I've already heard what happened to Chu Sui in the past few months. ”
Empress Pei knew that what had happened to her son was what had happened to her, and she was angry for a while, and shouted: "She is still embarrassed to say, if she hadn't acted properly, how could Heng'er have ended up in such a field today!
Yu Wenheng chuckled and said, "Ah Yu, don't be anxious, although our plan has been disrupted, it doesn't have much impact on the result. ”
Empress Pei sneered, this palace is not your queen, and Heng'er is not your son, so of course it doesn't have much impact on your affairs.
Yu Wenheng said again: "The third emperor brother is less than forty this year, and his body has always been strong, according to Ayu's previous thoughts, how many years do you think you need to wait to get your wish? Ten years, twenty years, thirty years? Anyway, you have to do it, sooner rather than later." ”
This is said bluntly, according to Yu Wenzhao's state, when he dies, Pei Tingyu is estimated to have gone to Huangquan a long time ago, and Yu Wenheng is also buried in the loess to his eyebrows, and he is not far from death.
Empress Pei raised her eyebrows and sneered secretly.
Our mother and son can't survive Yu Wenzhao, can you survive?
Don't forget that you're two years older than Yuwen Zhao!
Of course, the words can't be said so ugly, now they need to cooperate, and it's not the time to tear their faces.
Empress Pei said in a soft voice: "Anyway, since you want to support my son to ascend to the throne, Your Highness should inform the palace of the plan in detail." ”
Yu Wenhao smiled: "Of course, otherwise why would I take such a big risk to come here." ”
