Chapter 45: Intrigue and Intrigues

On a hot summer day, Su Wanxi took out a finger of white jade porcelain bottle from the cabinet, opened the bottle and dropped a drop of the liquid in it into the palm of her hand, and then wiped it on herself, and a faint fragrance spread out in the air.

"Qing'er." Su Wanxi put the bottle back and called Qing'er out the door.

"Mother, you command."

"Is the hibiscus jade given by the emperor ready last time?" Su Wanxi asked lightly and walked towards the door.

Qing'er replied with a smile: "The mother is going to give it to the lady concubine, and the slave has already prepared it." ”

"Then let's go visit Concubine Shu."

Qing'er knows that since her master entered the palace, she has hardly taken the initiative to visit any lady, and she will prepare gifts to go to Shufei Niangniang today, presumably because Shufei has a dragon son and her position in the palace is more stable, so her own mother wants to enhance the relationship, so she is extra careful when preparing gifts.

When Su Wanxi arrived at the Qingxin Palace, she happened to see Shen Wen coming out of it.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Su Wanxi didn't expect that Shen Wen attached great importance to the child in Concubine Shu's belly, since she entered the palace, Concubine Shu rarely slept in the palace, but she was pregnant, and Shen Wen often came to visit her.

"Aifei, why are you here?" Seeing Su Wanxi, Shen Wen's eyes lit up.

Su Wanxi smiled lightly: "My sister is pregnant, my sister came to see my sister, you see, I asked Qing'er to bring the hibiscus jade you gave me, and I am going to give it to my sister." ”

Shen Wen was very relieved when he heard this: "Okay, it's rare for the concubine to have this heart." ”

"Your Majesty, why did you leave?" Su Wanxi asked.

Shen Wen pecked Su Wanxi lightly on the cheek and said, "There is a situation in the south, I and the prince should discuss it carefully." ”

Su Wanxi looked at Shen Wen's appearance, presumably the situation should be very urgent, Shen Wen almost ignored it, what could make him so anxious must be a big deal.

"Then the emperor, do you want to come over at night?" She smiled faintly, with a bit of charm in the corners of her eyes.

Shen Wen pinched her cheek: "Of course! I've been missing you for the past few days! ”

Su Wanxi smiled shyly and said, "Your Majesty, let's go and discuss state affairs, and we will talk about our affairs slowly at night." ”

"Okay, I still love the concubine and understands me." After Shen Wen finished speaking, he left in a hurry with someone.

Su Wanxi smiled faintly, turned around and walked slowly towards the Qingxin Palace.

Concubine Shu heard that Su Wanxi was coming and greeted her in person.

"My sister didn't say anything in advance when she came over, and my sister didn't have the best tea here." Bai Yueyan smiled, stepped forward to hold Su Wanxi's hand, and slowly walked towards the house.

A trace of doubt flashed in Su Wanxi's eyes, and she smiled: "Sister is inevitably too polite." ”

Bai Yue and Su Wanxi went into the house and sat down together, and served tea again.

Su Wanxi said: "It is a great joy that my sister is pregnant, and my sister sent a hibiscus jade, I wish my sister and Longzi are safe." ”

Bai Yue knew that the hibiscus jade was one of the bride gifts given by the neighbors when the four princesses were in harmony, and it was extremely precious.

"It seems that my sister is too polite." Bai Yue smiled.

Su Wan looked at the fine lines at the corners of Bai Yue's eyes, and secretly laughed in her heart, remembering that when Bai Yue left home and entered the palace, she was still the age of her own body, and she was already wrinkled in a blink of an eye......

"How long has my sister been pregnant?" Su Wanxi drank tea and asked lightly.

"For two months, I waited for the fetus to be stable before telling the emperor." Bai Yue said happily.

Su Wanxi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I really envy my sister." ”

Bai Yue said: "My sister is still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future." ”

Su Wanxi nodded, and casually greeted Bai Yue before leaving.

"Mother, you're laughing so horribly." On the way back, Qing'er whispered.

Su Wanxi smiled softly: "No, I just thought of something and thought it was ridiculous." "She will take the initiative to find Bai Yue today, not because she wants to get closer to her, but because Bai Yue has not come out for many years, and now that there is a dragon species in the land, it is very suspicious, and she went today just to explore the truth.

She has recently specially developed a fragrance for pregnant people, if Bai Yue is really pregnant, she already feels disgusted and uncomfortable when she smells the fragrance on her body, how can she still deal with Ruotai.

It's just that Su Wanxi doesn't understand why the good Bai Yue wants to bully the king, if she is not careful, she will even ruin the entire Bai family! Su Wanxi thought about it and sighed, she knew about Bai Yue's disguised pregnancy, but she couldn't tell Shen Wen the truth directly, the bully was the Nine Clans, although Bai Chengcheng and the femme fatale-hearted Erniang could solve it without much effort, but the entire Bai family, as well as her father! That was the only family she had left in this world...... Her revenge does not involve Bai Xusheng.

So what tricks Bai Yue wants to play, she can only watch slowly, and she can't act rashly.

At night, Shen Wen called Su Wanxi to sleep, and after some clouds and rain, Su Wanxi combed her black hair and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, your state today is very bad." ”

"What's the matter, isn't my little concubine upset?" Shen Wen flattered her side, and Shen Wen himself felt that his body was getting worse and worse than before.

Su Wanxi smiled lightly and said, "How dare the concubine, just seeing that your brows are tightly locked, I don't know what unhappy things I said to the prince today?" ”

Shen Wen sighed when he heard this: "It's upset to mention this. ”

"What's wrong?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "The prosperous world has been long, and the troops are lacking. ”

Su Wanxi raised her eyebrows: "How could it be." ”

Shen Wen twisted his eyebrows and said: "The border city in the south was actually captured by Tubo!" As he spoke, he could see that he was very angry.

Su Wanxi comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. ”

Shen Wendao: "How can I let the Tubo people occupy the country that I have worked so hard to build? ”

Su Wanxi asked tentatively, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Send an army to take it back!"

Su Wanxi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it should be so." After a pause, he said, "But the generals are guarding the border passes, if you transfer the army, what will happen to other places?" You can't choose one over the other. ”

Shen Wen was taken aback at first when he heard this, and then he hugged Su Wanxi and said, "My beloved concubine is really smart, and today I and the prince are also discussing this matter." ”

Su Wanxi smiled secretly and said, "The concubines are just for the sake of the emperor's country." That's right, why don't you do that! ”

"How?" Shen Wen looked at her expectantly.

"Send people from the DPRK, in addition to the DPRK, and then transfer some of the troops from the places closer to the south, so that they only take some of each, and have little impact on the places, but the soldiers and horses in several places are gathered, and that is a large army."

Shen Wen pondered when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay! Good! ”

Su Wanxi smiled lightly: "It's good to help the emperor." ”

Shen Wen hugged her with pity: "You must be a fairy sent by God to help me." ”

Su Wanxi hooked her lips and smiled, yes, God called me to redeem you, and you have to pay the price for the country you got by stepping on the tired and dry bones.

"Your Majesty." Su Wanxi called lightly.

"What's wrong with Concubine Ai?"

"In the middle of the court, the concubine wants to ask for her brother." She said solemnly.

"General Youwu?" Shen Wen said.

"Well, Wanxi knows that her brother wants to make a contribution, and now she has a chance, and she hopes that the emperor will do it!" Su Wanxi was very sincere.

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Since it is Concubine Ai who speaks for the general, I will definitely agree!" ”

Su Wanxi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Thank you to the emperor, concubine, but, your majesty, my brother is very good-looking, you can't say that I agreed because I asked you, otherwise my brother will complain about the concubine." ”

Shen Wen sighed: "Hey, Concubine Ai is really thinking about others everywhere!" ”

Su Wanxi lowered her head and was silent. It was a good time to send Su Ziyou away from the government and the opposition, why wouldn't she do it?

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Wanxi was about to take a nap, when she heard a report from the palace people, and General Youwu asked to see her.

Hearing that it was Su Ziyou's visit, Su Wanxi was lying on the soft couch and immediately got up to greet her.

"Brother, why are you here?" Su Wanxi went out just when she met Su Ziyou coming in from outside the courtyard, and she greeted her excitedly.

"The minister has seen Su Guifei." Su Ziyou saluted according to the rules.

"Brother really sees the outside, and there are no outsiders in Fuyuanju, so there is no need to be polite, but brother, why did you come to the harem?" Su Wanxi asked, entered the side hall with Su Ziyou, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare melon and fruit refreshments.

Su Ziyou looked at Su Wanxi gently and said: "I will lead the troops south in two days, so I specially ask the emperor to be kind and allow me to come and meet you, it seems that the emperor loves you very much." ”

Su Wanxi smiled faintly, and then asked, "How long will it take to come back from this trip south?" ”

Su Ziyou thought for a moment, and responded: "The border is not peaceful, and it is estimated that it will take a year and a half." ”

Su Wanxi frowned lightly and sighed slightly: "This must be very hard, my sister can't do anything for my brother, and I hope my brother will cherish it very much." ”

Su Ziyou nodded, and then said: "Tell the palace people to go down first, I'm leaving this time, and I want our brothers and sisters to talk about it alone." ”

Su Wanxi was slightly stunned when she heard this, then waved her hand and retreated everyone, and then went to close the door in person, and walked into the side hall with Su Ziyou.

"I wonder what's the matter with my brother?" Su Wanxi's face became cold, and as she spoke, she sat on the soft couch by herself.

"You're very good at acting." Su Ziyou's face was also unusually cold.

Su Wanxi chuckled when she heard this: "It's not that my brother Tiao taught it well. ”

"It seems that you have served Shen Wen very comfortably."

Su Wanxi pretended to look at Su Ziyou innocently, and said, "This is not my brother's credit?" After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "Isn't my brother's profession to protect the palace?" Why did you lead troops south this time? ”

"It's not your credit." He said coldly.

Su Wanxi was stunned suddenly, and then smiled: "What does it have to do with me?" "Didn't Shen Wen promise that he wouldn't say it last night......

"My sister is favored in the harem, and those people dare to leave me in the government and the opposition?"

"I see, then brother can rest assured, I will ask the emperor to send you back as soon as possible." Su Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, if Su Ziyou knew that it was her own idea, she would definitely be suspicious.

"Hmph, that's not necessary." He sneered, making Su Wanxi shudder.

"Why?"

"I expected someone to do this, but I don't have this opportunity."

Su Wanxi twisted her eyebrows and asked, "What chance?" ”

"Add an official to the knighthood." He said word by word.

Su Wanxi stayed in place for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. She wanted to break Su Zi away from the right because she was gradually tired of the feeling of being restrained by him, and she wanted to struggle and escape from his palm. But he didn't expect that he had done something stupid, he really went south and came back with a big victory, and it was a sure thing to be added to the rank and knighthood. How did you do such a stupid thing?! But...... Whether he will return from the south is still unknown.

Su Ziyou leaned down suddenly, supported her with both hands, and pressed her under him, and his breath instantly sprayed on her face, hot, hot......
