Chapter 286: Like a captivity
learned that Empress Xian was going to move to the palace to live, but Li You became nervous, and he couldn't give up for a day. Where would Concubine Chun be in such a good mood to invite her to speak, and she hated her for not letting herself sit firmly in the position of the queen mother.
But a few days ago, I got a letter inexplicably, saying that as long as the Empress Xian can be left in the palace in the near future, when Xiao Jiu returns to the palace, it will be the day when she will become the queen mother. After thinking about it, there was no other way, so she had to attract it, and besides, she had been proud for so many years, so it was good to teach her some lessons this time.
The letter was naturally written by Li You and everyone, I didn't think that Concubine Chun was vicious at that time, and then I thought of many tragedies in the palace in the past, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted and feared, but this situation has been decided, and I am no longer able to return to the sky, so I am afraid that the virtuous queen will be poisoned, so I have to go to Zeng Xiaosheng hard!
The two of them have been awkward in the past few days, and even if they meet each other, they only bow with their fists in courtesy, and they haven't said a word. On this day, Zeng Xiaosheng was practicing martial arts, but he heard a report from the envoy that Li You was coming in a panic, so he couldn't help but panic and hurriedly greeted him.
Li You really panicked, kept spinning in place, his hands didn't listen to the staggering, thinking that he had encountered a difficult matter, Zeng Xiaosheng saw it in his eyes, sighed helplessly, and stepped forward and said: "Brother Li, what is the matter with me? Why don't you go into the house and talk about it in detail!"
Li You seemed to have seen Da Luo Immortal, hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly let go and explained the matter in detail. Zeng Xiaosheng couldn't help frowning and said: "You are really confused! I don't think you have to go to the court to spur Emperor Ying these days, but you should think about it, what are you doing in the palace!"
After saying that, he threw off his sleeves, strode out of the house, led the horses, and walked away without looking back. Li You, who was left, was even more aggrieved, watching him go, ready for the coming rainstorm in his heart, waiting for him to complain to Emperor Ying, his own fate.
Zeng Xiaosheng was also in a hurry, and rode out on horseback, only to remember that he couldn't see Xianhou at all, so he had to ride back again, and at a glance he saw Li You sitting on the porch with his head down, and couldn't help but stare at him: "What are you still doing here?" Li You was happy for a while, and laughed loudly: "Are you back?"
Zeng Xiaosheng glanced at him helplessly and said: "You go back, at this time, the external enemy is difficult to peace, you are still in the civil strife, think about why you are so close to the court, the affairs of the virtuous queen are now powerless, we have to take some precautions, see if we can install our own people among the guards!"
When Li You went back, Zeng Xiaosheng inquired about when Xiao Jiu would leave, and waited at the palace gate early in the morning. Wait until the virtuous queen sedan car slowly comes out, and then quickly throw an object into the sedan chair.
Xiao Jiu was startled, and saw that the thing on the ground was very delicate and cute, so he picked it up again, and it turned out to be a small wooden bird, the wooden bird was exquisitely carved and lifelike, only the size of a thumb. He also had a ball of notes wrapped around him.
Take a look, it reads, "This is the palace, it is not an accident, the details are inconvenient to tell, I hope to be careful at all times, if something happens, gently press the bird's abdomen, I will be rescued quickly!"
After reading this letter, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that she still looked up to Concubine Chun, at this moment, the power of the Queen Mother is far more important than family affection, but the matter has come to this, if you turn back, it will definitely hurt Emperor Ying even more, so she had to put the wooden bird into her arms, thinking about it or feeling that something was wrong, she called out in a deep voice: "Stop the sedan chair!"
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly stepped forward. "The slave is here!" Xiao Jiu was afraid that they would be worried, so he said softly: "Find someone to give a message to Emperor Ying, saying that the spring breeze is cold, and I don't know how the little prince is, let him be more careful, so as not to get caught in the cold!" Xiao Shunzi frowned slightly, but still went to do it.
This passerby has a lot of mouths, and she is also in the mood to say more, and she was stunned for a while, but she was ruthless, if anyone dares to hurt the child in her womb, she will not forgive. Runxi looked at her strangely, and she already had a plan in her heart.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the palace, the aunt of the palace led her to the residence, and disappeared, and said that most of the women in the palace were women, and it was not appropriate for her to bring too many guards by herself, and she divided most of the guards out. Xiao Jiu also endured it, at least these things are reasonable.
But seeing that the time for dinner had arrived, but no one came to deliver the food, Lan Zhu went to urge several times, but no one could be found. Xiao Jiu felt slightly depressed, but he knew that the pure concubine's trick would not be so simple, so he just sat patiently in the hall and waited. Lan Zhu saw that her face was not good, so she hurriedly took a book of snacks to eat on the road and handed it to her: "Empress Xian uses some snacks first, this adult can be hungry, but the child in her womb can't be hungry!"
Xiao Jiu glanced at the slightly scattered snacks in the food box, and sighed in his heart: "I don't have a long memory for a few times, and this time I fell for the trick again, and I have to wronged you!" Runxi smiled: "The slaves and maids are fine, but this first day made you hungry, how can it be good in the future?"
Lan Zhu seems to be young, but she is very careful, and when she heard Runxi's tone, she was bored, and hurriedly persuaded: "It's also something that Emperor Ying knows, they don't dare to be so hungry for the master, the master still has a child in the womb, you can't be angry with her, if you are angry, it will be us!"
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he realized what Concubine Chun wanted, and he couldn't help but hate. Gritted his teeth and said: "I can't make trouble, you can, she thinks that if I send a few guards, I won't have a way?"
When it was nightfall, sure enough, a maid brought a meal, and you didn't have to come forward to see that the dish was extremely simple. After the maid finished serving, she knelt down and said: "Empress Xian atoned for her sins, this kitchen was not notified, and now I know that Empress Xian is here, and there are no ingredients in my hands, so I have to ask you to eat some at will!"
Xiao Jiu didn't raise his eyes, only said lightly: "Throw it out!" The maid heard that Empress Xian had always been gentle and generous, and never expected her to be like this, her face changed, and she hurriedly begged: "Empress Xian atoned for her sins, as soon as this meal is thrown away, there are really no ingredients to make in the back kitchen! Empress Xian is still pregnant, don't hurt your body!"
Xiao Jiu pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at her and smiled lightly: "This palace remembers that in this palace, seasonal vegetables are sent once every five days, isn't it unfortunate that this palace came?" The little maid was puzzled, but she could only nod.
Runxi said angrily: "Bold, this virtuous queen entered the palace, Emperor Ying took a lot of effort, not to mention the vegetables, even the blood swallow also brought a lot, you dare to treat it like this, I think it will be fatal!" The little maid was so frightened that she cried and begged for mercy again and again, waiting for her to make enough trouble.
Xiao Jiucai said slowly: "Forget it, you are also entrusted by others, and you are not a person in the kitchen, I didn't expect that she was weak and incompetent in the palace, and now there is no Empress Dowager Jiang, but she has learned to cover the sky with one hand." Xiao Shunzi, you go to the back kitchen with her for a while, let people send our division here, let's fire ourselves, if anyone doesn't listen, don't be polite, even if you die, that's also bad service!"
The words were neither serious nor light, and the people who came with the maid heard them clearly, and trembled for no reason. Xiao Shunzi also smiled and said ruthlessly: "Yes, the slave must be done!"
