Chapter 234
Xiao Tang was surprised when he saw Zhaocai fall out, so he heard someone behind him come to reads();.
This person is naturally Ying Lanfeng, he originally heard the door say that Xiao Tang is here, and he is also asking about something, but he waited for a long time, but he entered the treasure to report, and Ying Lanfeng knew that Xiao Tang went to the fortune office.
Previously, Mr. Zhu came, saying that he wanted to see Zhaocai, but Ying Lanfeng thought that Mr. Zhu had a strange temperament, did not conform to the world, and had always acted unexpectedly, but it was okay.
However, Xiao Tang is like this, Xiao Tang is a cautious and well-behaved person, and he is afraid that every word and deed has its meaning.
Ying Lanfeng couldn't help but be worried because he thought of Zhang Ye's matter, and he actually came, but who knows, but he happened to see such a scene.
Zhaocai has been in the house since he was a child, and he is the most loyal and powerful corresponding to Lan Feng, although he is a slave, he is a little closer to Lan Feng than Lord Ying.
Since returning to Beijing, Zhaocai's age is getting older and older, Ying Lanfeng is compassionate, and simply doesn't send him to run around, just want him to live in peace, at this moment, Xiao Tang suddenly "beats" him out, his hand is so ruthless, it is really shocking, after asking, he hurriedly stepped forward to see what happened.
Ying Lanfeng held Zhaocai up, but at this time, Xiao Tang also came to him, and also reached out to help Zhaocai, but Zhaocai shrank his hand and said, "I don't know how the villain offended Lord Tang?" Please also forgive your sins. He bowed his head and neck, as if he was terrified.
Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that Zhaocai's palm was rough, as if it was a little strange...... When he wanted to take a closer look, he quickly withdrew his hand into his sleeve as if he was afraid.
Ying Lanfeng helped Zhaocai up and asked anxiously, "But it's hurt?" I asked someone to come and take a look. ”
Zhaocai coughed and said, "No need, the villain can still hold on, the second master will go on his own business, and the villain will not dare to serve...... Retired first. With that, he took a step back, and finally limped away.
Ying Lanfeng watched Zhaocai walk away, then looked at Xiao Tang, frowned and asked, "Is this...... What the hell is going on? ”
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly and said, "I was careless for a while." Forgive my father-in-law, I really don't have a heart. ”
Although Ying Lanfeng was very surprised, he knew that Xiao Tang was a human being, and he would never fight with an old slave or even do it...... Ying Lanfeng glanced at him a few times and said, "That's it, you come with me." ”
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and headed back in the direction of the study. Ying Lanfeng said: "Why are you here now?" ”
Xiao Tang said: "I want to ask my father-in-law about something." ”
Ying Lanfeng said: "I don't know what's going on? ”
Xiao Tang didn't speak: it turned out that Xiao Tang guessed the identity of Zhaocai, and at first he was suspicious of whether Ying Lanfeng knew his identity, but in Emperor Cheng's bedroom, Ying Lanfeng's words clearly seemed to know nothing, coupled with Fang Cai's behavior...... I'm afraid that Ying Lanfeng not only doesn't know the mystery of his life experience, but also doesn't know how to attract wealth.
Ying Lanfeng saw that Xiao Tang was silent, so he asked: "Yes, I also have something to ask you, in the palace before, the emperor asked the prince who he wanted to appoint, why did you remain silent for a long time, and there was a look of hesitation on your face?" ”
Ying Lanfeng knew that Xiao Tang had an extraordinary friendship with King Xi, but at that moment, he only looked at himself...... With a bit of indecision, Ying Lanfeng wanted to ask at that time, but he didn't have time.
Xiao Tang saw that he was paying attention to this matter, so he said: "After all, the matter of establishing a reserve is not trivial......
Ying Lanfeng smiled: "But how can you choose now?" Fortunately, the Xiwang Palace is worthy of a great responsibility, otherwise...... But I also understand your thoughts, now that there is Zhang Ye again, that kid looks very good, if you carefully adjust/teach it over time, it may not be a manufacturable reads();. ”
Don Jr. had no choice but to smile.
The two talked and acted, and finally returned to the study, sat in separate columns, the maid served tea and retreated, Xiao Tang guessed heavily in his heart, and asked thoughtfully: "I have one thing that I have always puzzled, and I have to dare to ask my father-in-law." ”
Ying Lanfeng said: "What's the matter? Say it. ”
Xiao Tang said: "I knew before that the Moon Devouring Wheel was in Ling Jingshen's hands, and he was not a good person, but I don't know why my father-in-law was able to get this thing from him?" ”
Ying Lanfeng heard him ask about this matter, smiled and groaned, and said immediately: "If you asked me about this matter before, it would be inconvenient for me to tell you...... Now it doesn't matter. I didn't expect it to be so smooth before, but speaking of which, Lord Ling came to find me by himself. ”
Xiao Tang was surprised, so he listened intently.
Let's say that although Ying Lanfeng is an official in the court, over the years, he has also made many confidants, and there are countless hundreds of officials who have come and gone, but because Ling Jingshen is a bit special, he has never had any friendship with him, and Ying Lanfeng is not that kind of temperament that likes to bend and welcome, so although there is still a relationship between the two miles, it is always indifferent.
Although Huai Zhen asked him to keep an eye on the Moon Eater Wheel...... Ying Lanfeng also has some arrangements, but because of this, he can't make a big deal of it, and he has to do it secretly, so he can't be in a hurry for a while, so he can only figure it out slowly.
Unexpectedly, at dusk that day, Ying Lanfeng went to the house of a ministry official to entertain, and after three rounds of drinking, he went to the backyard to relieve his hands, and wanted to return to the banquet, but he saw Jing Shen waiting in the corridor, and when he saw him, he made a salute.
Ying Lanfeng also stopped, although he saw Ling Jingshen at the table, but they never said anything to each other, at this moment Ying Lanfeng didn't know whether Jingshen was intentionally blocking the way, or unintentionally meeting, so he also stopped and returned the salute.
Who knew that the depth of field had no intention of leaving, and said: "I heard that Lord Ying has recently ...... Looking for me? ”
Ying Lanfeng was startled, thinking to himself that he had already heard something inside? Then he said, "What do you mean by this, Lord Ling?" ”
Ling Jingshen smiled lightly and said, "My younger brother worships at Lord Ying's gate, and he almost got married before...... It's not a secret, although I had a general friendship with the adult before, but in the heart of the depth, the character of the corresponding adult is official...... I also admired it very much. ”
Ying Lanfeng was a little surprised when he saw him suddenly show goodwill, so he replied cautiously: "Ling Jue Bingxue is smart and has a bright future, I didn't dare to be ashamed when he worshiped at the door...... Ying didn't have any talent to learn, just thought diligently and conscientiously. ”
At this moment, the backyard is silent, and there is no one around. Ling Jingshen nodded and said, "At the beginning, the prince and the king wanted to recruit adults, but the adults were always self-denying and never favored anyone...... Although it is also a wise way to protect oneself and not follow the customs, it will inevitably offend people because of it. ”
Ying Lanfeng had already guessed that he was "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", and heard this again...... Thinking that Jing Shen, as the person of King Su, he naturally came to warn and threaten, and his face turned cold, and he said, "Lord Ling is not here to be a lobbyist?" ”
Ling Jingshen took a step forward, looked directly into Ying Lanfeng's eyes, and said, "Jingshen met adults this time, not only did he not come to be a lobbyist, but he also had something important to tell him. ”
Ying Lanfeng was puzzled, so he only looked at him with a little vigilance. Ling Jingshen was not shocked, and said slowly: "My lord, do you know that it is not only King Su who has offended, but also Huaizhen entered the palace in the past, but for some reason, you also offended Concubine Niangniang, and Niangniang secretly issued an order to Su Wang...... Get rid of Huaizhen. ”
Ying Lanfeng lost his voice and said, "What did you say?" Huai Zhen ...... "I never dreamed that there would be such a thing, and my color suddenly changed."
Ying Lanfeng has always loved her daughter as her life, and when she heard this, she immediately had the intention of rushing to the crown in anger.
Seeing that he was really angry, Jing Shen grabbed his wrist to signal calmness, and said, "King Su will leave this matter to me to take care of." ”
Ying Lanfeng's heart was shocked, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the depth of field, and said, "In that case, why did Lord Ling tell me this secret?" ”
Depth of Field said: "Because ...... One is the reason for Xiao Jue, he has always respected the dà people, although the marriage with Huaizhen is weak, but he has always respected Huaizhen, if I hurt Huaizhen, I am afraid that he will be difficult to forgive in his life. ”
Ying Lanfeng frowned, still looking at him suspiciously.
The depth of the field said: "Second, it's because of Lord Ying." To tell the truth, there are very few people in the court who can really admire me, and Lord Ying is one of them, and I don't want to be an enemy of Lord Ying. ”
Ying Lanfeng seemed to believe it or not, her heart was pounding, and she said: "Since King Su ordered you to do this, if you don't do it, wouldn't it be disobedient?" How could King Su let it go? ”
Ling Jingshen smiled bitterly: "The prince ordered me to do this, it may not be that he didn't have the intention to test me...... It is because Lord Ying is really reasonable. However, I see King Su as a human being, with a narrow temperament, and I am afraid that sooner or later something bad will happen, and if I obey orders with all my heart, will I not help the abuse? Therefore, I would rather be honest about this matter with adults...... If the king is in the future...... If the depth of field is implicated, I hope that the adults will speak for me, prove my innocence, and save me from danger. ”
Ying Lanfeng was shocked, faintly heard the meaning of depth of field, but was a little unbelievable, so he said: "What you mean, it is ......."
Jing Shen said: "Lord Ying is in the court, and it can be regarded as a clear stream, so I don't pay attention to anyone, only to adults." I hope that my lord will remember that today I risked betraying King Su and desperately entered the speech. ”
After the depth of field finished speaking, he nodded, turned around to leave, and Ying Lanfeng hurriedly said, "Lord Ling, stay and stay." ”
The depth of field stopped, looked back at him, and Ying Lanfeng said: "How do I know...... What Lord Ling said today was actually sincere? ”
Ling Jingshen's calm eyes had a smile in his eyes, and he said, "How can Lord Ying believe it?" ”
Ying Lanfeng calmed his mind and said: "I know that Lord Ling has a treasure in his hand, if Lord Ling is willing to give the Moon Devouring Wheel to Ying, I will believe in you and accept your affection, if Lord Ling is in danger one day, I will not stand idly by." ”
Looking at each other, Ling Jingshen smiled, another day, Ling Jingshen really asked someone to send the Moon Devouring Wheel, Ying Lanfeng was still half-convinced, but seeing him so believable, he was happy and surprised.
In the study, Ying Lanfeng said, and Xiao Tang understood that the depth of field secretly contacted Ying Lanfeng to pave the way for his future.
This time King Su made a rebellion, Jingshen was also implicated, but Jingshen turned to the front, King Xi Ying Lanfeng and others spoke for him, and Emperor Cheng knew that Jingshen was not the kind of rebellious minister and thief who followed King Su to make trouble, so most of the people under King Su suffered, and Jingshen was still standing.
The two of them said once, it was already dark, Ying Lanfeng wanted to invite Xiao Tang to eat in the house, Xiao Tang was afraid that Huaizhen would be worried at home, so he excused himself.
Xiao Tang said goodbye to Ying Lanfeng and went back to the Tang Mansion since he went out, but heard that Tang Shao and Zhang Ye both stayed in the mansion.
Xiao Tang hurriedly went to Mrs. Tang's room, and sure enough, he saw Huaizhen next to Mrs. Tang, Tang Shao and Zhang Ye were present, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Xiao Tang stepped forward to greet Mrs. Tang, and Tang Shao got up to greet him.
Zhang Ye also stood up, only arched his hand and said, "Lord Tang." ”
Xiao Tang didn't say much politeness, only nodded and said, "Let's all sit down reads();." He sat down.
When Mrs. Tang saw him come back, she couldn't help but ask how Minli was, Xiao Tang said them one by one, and Mrs. Tang listened, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and she was a little sad.
Huai Zhen said to Xiao Tang: "Mrs. is not at ease,...... Explain that you want to go to Suwang's Mansion for a trip, can I accompany you? ”
Xiao Tang didn't want the two of them to go over in person, but he was afraid that he would inevitably be very sentimental, not to mention that the Su Wangfu was now in the midst of the wind and rain...... In order to avoid suspicion, there was not even a single civil and military official who went to mourn.
However, only Minli was in the palace, and he was afraid that he would be lonely, so Xiao Tang thought about it and nodded in response.
When dinner was delivered, everyone ate, Tang Shao returned to the house first, and Zhang Ye personally sent it off.
Mrs. Tang rested early because she was worried about Minli, and Ming'er had the energy to go to Suwangfu.
Huai Zhen was free, so he asked: "I asked Brother Zhang Ye to rest in the mansion tonight, and I have already told my wife, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Tang said: "He has nowhere else to go now, just stay in the mansion." ”
Huaizhen said: "I just heard Shao'er talk about his life experience...... You refused to tell me about such an astonishing event? ”
Xiao Tang hugged her into his arms and said with a smile: "I don't want to tell you, I just don't have time to talk about it." "I liked it for a while in the warm pavilion before, and it was difficult to give up, and after a while, the emperor passed the decree into the palace.
Huaizhen snorted, and asked him what he was going to do with the Ying Mansion, Xiao Tang heard this, and his heart was even heavier: for a while, think about the strange behavior of fortune, and for a while, think about the depth of field in the first place...... After thinking about it, he just shook his head.
Seeing that he didn't answer this, Huai Zhen thought in his heart for a while, and said, "I have never asked you, Qian'er, how do you know that I am in Yongfu Palace?" ”
Xiao Tang shook slightly, looked at Huaizhen, but didn't make a sound. Huai Zhen mustered up his courage and asked again: "What is the origin of the golden hairpin you helped me put away?" And also...... That Concubine De ......"
Xiao Tang was even more frightened and said, "Where did you come up with these strange questions?" ”
Huai Zhen said: "Is it weird? How do I feel that this qiē is somewhat implicated...... Do you know the inside story? As she spoke, she looked up at Don.
Xiao Tang lowered his eyes, met her clean and dust-free black and white eyes, and his heart tightened, and he couldn't answer.
Huai Zhen looked at him, and saw that he still didn't answer, his expression was a little strange, but her heart couldn't help jumping, and she couldn't wait for him to answer, so she just said: "If you don't say it, forget it, I'll go and see how Brother Zhang Ye hasn't come back." ”
Huaizhen said, and was about to go out, but Xiao Tang stopped him and said, "He has come back, just ask the maid to lead him to rest." ”
At this moment, I really heard the sound of a maid asking outside, and then Zhang Ye said yes, and the footsteps went away.
Huai Zhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Good ears, so you can hear it?" If you didn't know, I thought you could pinch it. ”
Xiao Tang took her into his arms, smelled her fragrance, smelled her voice, listened to her words, and watched her face...... I just felt that how to love was not enough, so I picked up Huaizhen horizontally and hurried back to the room.
Compared with the horror of the night before, this night in Beijing was very stable, only in the palace, but there was a seemingly inconspicuous thing happened, it turned out to be the concubine Niangniang who was detained in the cold palace, and for some reason, she died violently.
