Chapter 8: Quelling Anger
On the second day of her favor, Wei Xiyan contracted a cold, and the emperor did not announce her again, but only asked the imperial doctor to take care of her......
Through these few days of recuperation, she has gradually accepted these facts, no matter what, what has happened is inevitable, and now, what she needs to think about the most is her own survival. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tree is very popular, I am afraid that how many people want her life behind her back, the queen is still a little evasive about herself, and she is not unaware. And for today's plan, it can only rely on the emperor. So as soon as she was in good health, she took Birou to the Taiji Palace.
"Mother, you're here!" When Wei Xiyan stepped up the steps, Zhao Gonggong, the attendant standing at the door of the Taiji Palace, looked happy.
"Father-in-law Zhao." She nodded slightly, "But what's the matter?" ”
"The emperor is somehow on fire in the hall, and he won't let us minions in. It is estimated that the queen will also arrive in a while, so she will go in first to see what will happen to the emperor. Zhao's father-in-law had a sad look on his face.
Wei Xiyan pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and walked into the Taiji Hall.
"Bang!" An inkstone shattered directly in front of her.
She was startled and hurriedly retreated a few steps, "The emperor is angry!" She said as she knelt on her right leg, her eyes lowered, and as far as her eyes could see, the ground was in shambles.
The emperor's voice couldn't hear any waves, "Just get up." ”
Wei Xiyan got up, looked at the inkstone on the ground, bent down again, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, spread it on the ground, and reached out to pick up the pieces of the inkstone.....
"Don't move!" As soon as the impatient voice came out, her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Raising his head, the emperor propped his hands on the handles of the dragon chair, as if he wanted to get up, but he didn't want to sit back again.
"Your Majesty!" She hurriedly walked up to the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
"It's out of the way," the emperor looked at her and said calmly, "Stretch out your hand."
Wei Xi's face was puzzled, and the hand he just stretched out was held by the emperor's strong and powerful hand, "Who asked you to pick up those things, what should you do if you hurt your hand?" The person in front of him snapped.
"Concubine..... The concubine was just afraid of hurting the emperor......" Her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, she didn't dare to make a sound.
His hands were suddenly grabbed by a force, Wei Xiyan was unstable, and he fell sideways into the emperor's arms. The emperor's hands were wrapped around her waist, and although she was separated by clothes, she could still clearly feel the man's somewhat disordered heartbeat......
After being silent for a long time, she listened to his breathing slowly change from rapid to gentle, before she spoke: "Why is the emperor worried? ”
Wrapping his hand tighter, "I want to kill." The flat voice made Wei Xiyan's scalp tingle, "But now is not the time, so I am depressed." ”
"The emperor holds the lives of all living beings and is in charge of life and death, and it is natural for him to take the lives of whomever he wants, but who committed something that made the emperor so angry?" Wei Xiyan's voice turned cold, and his body trembled unconsciously.
"Don't be afraid," the emperor noticed the slight tremor of the person in his arms, and his tone was gentle, "You are my beloved woman, and no one will be willing to touch a finger if I kill you." ”
She was speechless for a while, and the emperor stopped talking, just hugged her like this, and I don't know how long it took.
"The concubines see the emperor." Two neat voices came over when Wei Xiyan was about to fall asleep.
"Well, here you are." During the answer, the hand that had been wrapping around her waist was released, and she hurriedly got up from the emperor's arms. found that it was the queen and Yang Guifei, and they were secretly surprised when they saw Wei Xiyan's expressions, but Yang Guifei's eyes were a little more ruthless, as if they wanted to get rid of themselves quickly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine retired first." Wei Xiyan saw that the formation was not right, and hurriedly retreated from the Taiji Palace.
On the way back, Yang Guifei's eyes kept echoing in her mind.
"Mother, why are you sweating so much?" Birou beside her said as she wiped the cold sweat from her cheeks.
Wei Xiyan didn't answer, looking at the palace people who were shuttling back and forth not far away, how many pairs of eyes were hidden among these people who were secretly staring at him?
Just thinking about it, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing the sandal-colored female official uniform, and the fairy trick was fluttering, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
"Xuanruo?" Wei Xiyan shouted with some surprise.
As if hearing her shout, the woman stopped, looked left and right, and saw that it was herself, and walked with an unconcealed look of excitement in her eyes, with an uncertain tone: "Xiyan? ”
After getting closer, she looked Wei Xiyan up and down, and said, "Say hello to Zhang Cairen." ”
"Where are you talking about that?" Xiyan hurriedly helped her up.
She got up with a smile, "No one in this palace knows you now, you have only been in the palace for more than a month, and you have become a talented person in the blink of an eye from the royal maid, and the emperor's rewards are piled up in a palace and can't let go!" ”
She was a little helpless, and couldn't help but sigh, "The world calls me a saint, who knows that the days in this palace are like walking on thin ice, and every step is terrifying!" ”
"I know," Xuan Ruo took her hand and put the other hand on the back of her hand, "I am now a servant, serving the emperor all the year round, the situation in this palace is very clear, and your current situation is also helpless!" ”
"This palace is intricate, I know very little, and there is no caring person around, what can I do?" The more she spoke, the more worried she felt.
Xuan Ruo hurriedly covered Xiyan's mouth, pulled her to the back of an inaccessible rockery, and sent Birou away, before whispering: "There are many people in this palace, don't believe anyone who says anything." ”
Wei Xiyan nodded, and she said again: "Although you have to be favored, you also need to be careful, a few days ago, the ministers played together to ask the emperor to establish the national capital early, which made Long Yan angry." If you think about it carefully, someone must have been behind it, but it is unknown who it is...... It's just that the emperor may not be worth relying on for a long time......"
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"It is not without the previous dynasty that there was a plot of forcing my father to abdicate, besides, the three kings and the seven kings have an army behind them, and the emperor must also be afraid of three points!"
Su Xuanruo's words made Wei Xiyan dumbfounded, shook his head, Su Xuanruo continued to give her a detailed analysis, "Let's talk about the remaining two princes, the four kings and her mother, living in simplicity all the year round, it seems that he offended the emperor because of something earlier, and then the relationship between the emperor and him slowly eased, and the nine kings, the virtuous concubine can gain a foothold in the harem is not the support of the concubine, I heard that he has a lot of personal relations with the seven kings, in this way, everything is clear." ”
Seeing that she pursed her mouth tightly and didn't speak, Su Xuanruo said again: "The general form is like this, you must already have some clues in your heart." I can't talk to you for too long, and I'll go to you secretly when I'm free. ”
Wei Xiyan nodded, and then shouted to Birou to leave together.
Unconsciously, she walked to the vicinity of Tingcui Garden, she remembered what happened that day, and she was a little inexplicably nostalgic in her heart, and asked Birou to watch the wind at the door, and she walked in again.
The scenery is still the same, but the apricot blossoms and pear blossoms have all fallen, and what remains is a lush greenery.
Walking into the pavilion, the people you met in the past are no longer there, but there is a guqin left on the stone table in the pavilion, and the workmanship is very ingenious. She flicked it casually, and the sound of Ling Ling was like a clear spring hitting a stone, bringing ripples on the surface of the pool.
She hadn't played the piano for a long time, and when she was up, she unconsciously plucked it......
"Girl's good piano skills!"
At the end of the song, Wei Xiyan frowned and asked the man who suddenly appeared outside the pavilion, "It's you again?" ”
He was three feet away from Wei Xiyan, and if the rock was independent, there was a breeze blowing from time to time, rolling up his plain white clothes. He said calmly: "In Xia Qingxu, the girl's piano sound is high, I haven't heard such a natural sound for a long time, I lost my mind for a while, if I am presumptuous, I hope to bear with me." ”
"Qingxu." She whispered, "It's as clear as possible, and it fits your name very well." ”
He smiled lightly: "Thank you girl for the compliment." ”
Silently jotting down his name, she asked, "What is your identity?" Why did you appear in this Tingcui Garden several times? ”
Looking at Wei Xiyan, his expression softened: "If you say it in the next place, can the girl answer this question in the same way?" ”
Seeing that she was silent, Qing Xu continued: "There seems to be helplessness in listening to the girl's piano sound, and the girl is in the same mood as the girl, and meets the girl twice in this Tingcui Garden, it must be fate, in this case, why do you have to be so persistent in identity?" ”
"Heh," Wei Xiyan laughed unconsciously, "My name is Xiyan." ”
"Miss Xiyan," he arched his hand, heartily and clearly, "I don't know why the girl is worried?" ”
Getting up from the pavilion, she looked at the willows by the pool, and said sadly: "I'm annoyed because I can't ask for it, I'm worried that I can't let go, and I'm sad for my life of listening to the destiny of heaven." ”
"If you can't ask for it, let him go, if you can't let it go, you will treasure it in the bottom of your heart, although your life is a godsend, the road, but you still have to go by yourself, there is no hurdle that you can't pass, only ......" Qing Xu walked to Wei Xiyan's side, took her hand, put it on his chest, and looked at her with a smile: "The knot that can't be untied." ”
Wei Xiyan's hand felt his steady heartbeat, but the person panicked, hurriedly shook off his hand, blushed, and spoke in a somewhat unsteady tone: "Thank you Qingxu Gongzi, it's not early, I'm ...... I'll go first......"
After speaking, she fled from Tingcui Garden, but her heart became no longer calm......
