Chapter Seventy-Two: The Pearl
Nanyue and Chuanling went back to Shengxuan Palace all the way, and saw a little girl at the gate of the palace standing anxiously at the gate of the palace from a distance, and at the same time looked around in a panic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chuanling remembered what happened to the little girl last time, and couldn't help blurting out to Nanyue: "It must be a girl sent from the palace again, it must be ill-intentioned." ”
Nanyue pulled the bell and quietly bypassed the back wall, startling the girl.
The little maid didn't know which master she had collided with, and she originally wanted to escape, but when she looked up and saw that it was Nanyue, she knelt down with a plop.
"Queen Mother, help!"
"You are sneakily groping in the emperor's bedroom, how can the mother spare you. ”
Nanyue stopped the bell and whispered in her ear, "She's talking about help." ”
Chuanling pondered for a while, realized that he was reckless, and stopped speaking.
"You said it, but help?" Nanyue squatted down and asked her tepidly.
The maid nodded again and again, looking around in her eyes, full of panic. Nanyue saw that her face was white and thin, but the corners of her forehead were stained with gray stains. The hair that was originally delicately combed was a little unkempt at the moment, and there were crumbs hidden between the strands, as if he had just escaped from some shabby place, but with such a dress, the main family would be a rich and noble family. I feel so strange.
And he saw that the maid seemed to be afraid of something, and was extremely sensitive and frightened by the wind and grass. took her blindfolded into the side hall of Shengxuan Palace.
After the bell removed the strip of cloth covering the maid's forehead, the maid adapted to the light in the house. Hurriedly knelt down, his head slammed on the ground, despite the dust stained by the white velvet inlaid around his neck.
"The slave and maid asked the mother not to give the death penalty, and allowed the slave and maid to finish a few words. ”
Between the words, his head was tightly pressed to the ground, and he didn't dare to make any movements, and his body couldn't help trembling.
"Which maid are you? Nanyue asked.
The maid's voice was eager and confused: "The slave maid is the maid of the general's mansion in the capital, and she came to ask the queen for help on the orders of the young lady. ”
As he spoke, he carefully groped for a note from the innermost placket and handed it to Nanyue.
Nanyue took the note suspiciously: "Your young lady, but the girl who sat next to Yelu Mingxiu during the palace banquet." ”
"Yes, it was Miss that day. ”
Nanyue looked at the note, it seemed to be written in a panic, but the depth of the master's calligraphy attainments could still be seen between the muscles and bones.
The bell was unknown, so he watched the expression on Nanyue's face change.
Nanyue carefully put away the note, and ordered the maid: "You lead the way, take the palace to meet your young lady." ”
Chuan Ling didn't know why, and followed Nanyue out of the palace in a daze.
The three of them are in a hurry, and the maid has a weak physique and walks slowly. Nanyue and Chuanling followed behind suspiciously and eagerly.
Not to mention where this path is going, at this time, Wan Yan Min was sitting on the side of the Queen Mother's phoenix couch in the Jin An Palace, playing against the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, are you in a hurry? ”
"What is going to come sooner or later, whether it is urgent or not, is only a matter of advancing and delaying. Inevitability is something that cannot be forced. Besides, there was a reason for the incident, and the emperor was exposed because of the queen's life. ”
"The queen mother is recognizable to the queen?"
"The mourning family was not recognized by the Empress Dowager back then, and your father still disobeyed his mother's order after all. The Queen Mother smiled exquisitely, and the corners of her eyes finally revealed a few fine lines given by the years.
That was when she was peerless, and Wanyan Guchen contradicted the queen mother for her as a side concubine, which was a thing that a woman was quite proud of.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and smiled for a long time. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and said, "The mourning family has already given the phoenix seal to the queen. ”
Wan Yanmin was taken aback, "The queen mother is not afraid of ......"
"The mourning family is afraid, but the mourning family just wants to gamble on the queen. The emperor doesn't even have the courage to gamble?"
The Queen Mother swept over her son.
"Yes, the sons have their own decision. ”
After Yan Min saluted, he left, leaving a game of chess.
Jin Andian returned to his usual silence, like a flower packing up his chess pieces.
The Queen Mother sighed: "The emperor has been decisive since he was a child, but in this matter of feelings, he is very much like the emperor." I only hope that Yue'er can be braver than the mourning family back then. Don't miss out on what you shouldn't miss. As he spoke, a flash of desolation flashed in his eyes.
"Girl......" Ruhua exclaimed a little distressedly, massaging the forehead of the Queen Mother.
But it was said that Nanyue followed the maid to the general's mansion, and saw that the house was heavily guarded, and it was full of Yulin troops.
It turns out that the maid's name is tassel, and she has been with Yelu Mingzhu since she was a child. Wan Yan Min ordered everyone in the house to be grounded, and Yelu Mingzhu was trapped in the boudoir and was not allowed to move half a step, so she had to think of a way to let her personal maid tassel escape from a very secret secret passage in the backyard and find Nanyue.
Nanyue took the bell to the door, and the leader of the Yulin Army who was responsible for holding on had served in front of the emperor, knowing Nanyue's appearance, politely avoided it and led Nanyue in.
Nanyue smiled at the leader: "This palace comes to see what is hidden in this general's mansion, you don't have to follow." ”
Sent back to the leader, Nanyue looked around the courtyard.
The courtyard is very large, but it is not very carefully maintained, the rockery is overgrown with moss, and the people below are also pressed in the firewood house. The huge and bright place, although there should be no shortage of construction furnishings, always feel a little less popular.
Nanyue observed carefully, and soon his eyes fell on a slightly new lattice door, as if someone was living there, and walked forward.
"The Queen's Mother. ”
Two guards stood out at the door and saluted.
"Good students are guarding, and the palace goes in and sits. ”
". One of them, Yu Linjun, stopped: "The daughter of a criminal minister is under house arrest in this house, and the mother is going in alone, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”
"It's okay, even if something happens, you won't be blamed, and this palace will exempt the two from death in advance. ”
"Mother, please. The two guards said no more.
The door clicked open, and the light burst into the room suddenly, startling the woman sitting at the dresser.
Turning his head depressedly.
Seeing that it was Nanyue, hope and panic appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The aqua blue plain dress, with a beautiful single braid hanging generously on the chest, is dressed plainly and cleanly, not at all like a pampered lady. Only when I stared at the pink face for a long time, I was surprised to realize that there was a beautiful face hidden under the overly plain outfit, which was not amazing, but the more I looked at it, the more I could taste something that would be unforgettable for a long time.
Yelu Mingzhu looked at the door warily.
Nanyue motioned for the bell to close the door.
The moment the deadbolt clicked on, Mingzhu decisively knelt down to Nanyue.
"What are you doing here?" Nanyue took two steps back.
"Yelu Mingzhu, the daughter of a criminal minister, has the courage to ask the queen mother to give her a way to live. ”
The tone is calm, and the eyes are clear and calm, as if there is no self-awareness of a dying person.
Nanyue was surprised while appreciating it, and said with a smile: "You committed the crime of the nine clans of Zhulian against your father, but you dare to move the queen here as a rescuer, and the palace listens to you." ”
Yelu Mingzhu put down the anxious breath in her chest and looked at Nanyue firmly: "Only Niangniang can help with this matter." ”
"Why does Hongu want to help you?"
"Mingzhu has the audacity to say, helping me is helping Niangniang herself. There was uncertainty between Yelu Mingzhu's eyebrows, but it was more frank and decisive.
Nanyue looked at Yelu Pearl differently.
"No matter what your plans are in this palace, your father's crime is enough to affect the people of your entire mansion. Nanyue looked at Mingzhu's eyes.
"I can provide the emperor with evidence of my father's collusion with Helian Tuo to commit treason, and if I can accept the help of my mother, I can no longer be surnamed Yelu and completely sever the father-daughter relationship with Yelu Mingxiu. ”
Nanyue stared at Yelu Mingzhu tightly, surprised and a little taboo that this weak woman had such a ruthless and decisive decision.
She's just about her age.
Yelu Mingzhu seemed to see that Nanyue was worried about her, and laughed miserably: "People are extremely poor, and there is nothing that cannot be parted with." Mingzhu is just begging for a life at the moment. ”
Nanyue was shocked by this woman's words.
"You don't look like the only daughter of the General's family in the capital. ”
Mingzhu smiled at Nanyue and replied boldly: "Just like the queen is not like the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
