Respect for martial arts is like a mustard......
Respect for military life is like a mustard.
These words swirled in his head, appearing and lingering from time to time.
He never expected that Jingwu would think of himself like this. Over the years, how much suffering she must have endured and how many sins she has suffered before she developed her eccentric character. The kindness of the heavenly family, what an extraordinary husband and a layman can think, Jing Wu is in his position, and he has long been accustomed to being cold.
"Shixia, what's wrong with you?"
He came back to his senses and continued to do his thing—the silver needle test for poison was indeed a common thing to do within the scope of his duties, and for the sake of martial arts, he had to be more cautious, and he would not allow the slightest slackness.
The results of the poison test brought Jingwu not only shock, but also ...... Extreme collapse. She almost trembled and took the blackened silver needle from Shi Xia's hand: "How, how can this be? ”
He didn't have any undulating expression. He is calmer and more composed than Jingwu.
He has experienced this kind of thing too many times.
"You...... You already knew? Jingwu's eyes were full of sadness, and even his voice was hoarse: "Queen Mother...... The queen mother wouldn't do that......"
He was slightly stunned, only this time in his life, he was so timid that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
He was afraid to meet Jingwu's eyes.
Respectful and weeping. But she was calm enough to turn around quickly, and she asked Shi Xia, "Is the queen mother stupid?" Even if she hates me again, how dare she kill me in such a grand manner?! This is the Han Palace! If something happens to me, the monarch's father wants to investigate thoroughly, as long as he moves his fingers, countless people will tell the monarch's father, it is the benevolent queen mother in the Jiaofang Palace, who poured poison into Jingwu's food, and she killed Jingwu! - Do you think that's ridiculous? Will the queen mother leave such a handle for herself? Besides, the queen mother hurts me, she really hurts me! Jingwu cried out of tears sadly: "I was seven years old, I first returned to the Han Palace, my father hated me, and the people in the palace didn't know what Princess Jingwu's name was, so I shouldn't take me seriously." Only the queen mother, she treats me very kindly, she really loves me......"
The corners of Shi Xia's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he ended in silence.
"Your Highness Princess......" he whispered.
"You're the one who ruined this qiē! It's you, it's you! Jing Wu beat him fiercely: "Shi Xia, I really don't want us to meet before - you ruined the only hope of the first half of my life!" ”
He was pushed by Jingwu, and fell back again and again, he didn't know how to avoid it, and he couldn't bear to go against Jingwu's temperament, so he let her. Jing Wu stepped up step by step, and he had to move away from the original place little by little, and was finally pushed out of the door by Jing Wu......
Keiwu quickly fastened the deadbolt.
He stood there, only to hear Jing Wu crying inside, trying to persuade, but he didn't know where to start, Jing Wu was in a very unstable state at this time, his crying was slow and urgent, and he didn't know what the situation was inside.
There is a door, and there it stands. It's like a mission that you were born with.
He was once told that half of his life was to protect Jingwu and survive, and his life, like a wanderer, was also because of Jingwu.
But these are all his willingness.
The cry is getting quieter and lower......
He didn't know if Jingwu's sadness had been reduced by half, and he didn't dare to knock on the door, let alone push the door. The raised hand, just like that, froze, stagnated in mid-air.
Suddenly, a cold wind quickly brought in the door.
As soon as he was stunned, the door of the temple had been opened by Jingwu.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon, he suppressed this little surprise, and he didn't even dare to show it, for fear that Jingwu would be annoyed and disgusted.
She stood in front of Shi Xia.
"There's some truth to what you're saying—" Her nose stopped sobbing and tears dried on her face, "Come in." ”
Jing Wu is undoubtedly smart and calm, just a momentary impulse, which makes her love unprecedentedly explode, and after the outbreak, what follows is unprecedented calmness.
Summer into the house.
He approached the small case, picked up the stew cup just now, raised his neck and swallowed it all in one gulp. - "What do you do?" Jingwu couldn't even grab it, so he only stomped his feet angrily: "You don't want to die?" ”
He smiled, raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his lips: "This little thing can't kill me." ”
"But you're too weird—"
"My subordinates need to taste it and see what it is."
"What if you take your life?" Jing Wu pulled his legs and wanted to leave: "I'll go to find the imperial doctor's order, you wait for ......"
"Your Highness!" Shi Xia stopped Jing Wu: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it, his subordinates have practiced martial arts since childhood, they can detect dangers, and they will not put their lives at risk." He was a little anxious, for fear that Jing Wu would leave, so he would no longer be able to seize the opportunity to tell Jing Wu the information he had, and Jing Wu would be sad.
"Do you have a problem?" She will.
He nodded.
The two sat down, and Shi Xia analyzed the information he had with Jingwu one by one.
It turned out that Jingwu was greedy to go out of the palace that day, and met a bandit on the way, and after being rescued by Shi Xia, Shi Xia began to suspect that this bandit was not like a folk bandit, and his body and glove road were like ......
This is suspicious.
Because of his identity, Shi Xia went to find out along the vine, which was very convenient. This quickly had a context, and when he probed, he actually found the Jiaofang Palace, and even he was startled.
Because of this incident, he had some doubts about Queen Wang in his heart.
Today, when Queen Wang came to visit Jingwu, he must have an eye on it, and after Queen Wang left, he would suspect this stew. What he thinks is the same as Jingwu, no matter how stupid the queen is, she shouldn't be so grandiose Everyone knows that the poisonous stew was brought by her Jiaofang Palace, right? If something happens to Jingwu, can she get out of it?
But I didn't think to try the silver needle, but I really tried the poison!
"I always feel like something isn't right...... "Keibu said.
He was silent, still thinking.
"But...... Why does the queen want to harm me? Jing Wu suddenly remembered a big incident, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh no! ”
"How?" Shi Xia loosened his arm and looked nervous.
"Since the Jiaofang Palace even wants me to do it...... Isn't that brother dangerous?! No, I have to go and pass on a message to my brother......" Jingwu said that he was going to leave, and he hurried in a hurry, almost hitting Shi Xia in front of him, Shi Xia stopped her: "Princess, don't worry, we haven't figured out the motive of Jiaofang Hall yet......"
She raised her head and interrupted Shi Xia's words: "What if you figure it out, what if my brother's life is in danger?" Nothing in this world is worth risking my brother's life. ”
He froze.
There was a starry light in Jingwu's eyes.
The crown prince is so important to her.
Others won't understand.
"No, the prince will be fine."
Jing Wu raised his head, a pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at him.
"Your Royal Highness, the prince is the prince, His Majesty loves the heavy, and the Jiaofang Palace has no children, if the prince's chess piece does not move, the world is very good; If it moves, it will not be the Jiaofang Hall that will benefit. ”
"Really?" This logic, if it were normal, Jing Wu would have figured it out. But at this critical juncture when this kind of thing involves the prince, her mind is like a mess, and she can't think about it at all.
"That's right," he still tried to analyze for Jingwu, "Now that there is no child in the Jiaofang, His Royal Highness the Prince is the most convenient chess piece in the Jiaofang Palace, to protect the prince, the Jiaofang will keep the glory and wealth in the future without much effort, if the prince is transposed, it will not be beneficial to the Jiaofang." ”
"Can't they take such a risk?" Jing Wu answered.
"Yes, as Your Highness said."
"So what am I going to do next?"
"The anti-pepper room hall, the pepper room needs to be stabilized, don't startle the snake. Majesty over there...... If the princess is willing to say, she may as well go to the king. ”
"Can't ......" Jingwu looked very embarrassed: "My father won't believe me......"
"I ......"
He paused, but finally choked.
He could. Actually, he could. As long as he says something in front of you, His Majesty will believe it.
But now is not the time for a showdown with Jingwu.
The red candles in the Jiaofang hall shine high, and the brass candlesticks of one by one are like small umbrella handles, which support the brightness and brilliance of the whole palace to the extreme.
She sat at the dresser. In the mirror, except for the drooping eyebrows and eyes, the rest are unfamiliar. The years have given her stability, and they have also given her an old state that she can't hide.
She pressed her sideburns, and a few white strands were hidden under her black hair, and the bulging sideburns seemed to be a joke for her covering her ears and stealing the bell.
She's old, really old. She finally returned to the destination where every beautiful woman in the Han Palace went. Hongyan snaps his fingers at the old, this youth and beauty are like flowers in the spring sunset, chasing the water.
She sometimes thinks that if the queen of Gong Mourning under the underground palace is alive, I don't know what kind of fate it is, whether Her Majesty loves her beauty, or the guilt of this wife when she loves Long Qian?
There was always a hint of luck in her heart. If Xu Pingjun is still there, she will also grow old, the corners of her eyes will also be wrinkled, her sideburns, and the green silk will turn white, maybe at that time, Her Majesty will no longer love her, and His Majesty will only have a trace of guilt for the middle palace-
After all, Majesty still loves young and beautiful women.
Like every man in the world.
But Xu Pingjun died, and she locked her youth and beauty under the underground palace.
In the eyes of Her Majesty, she will always be young.
So His Majesty will always love her.
How unfair that is.
After all, the woman in the Jiaofang Palace was still uneasy, thinking of this, she couldn't help but increase the strength at hand, and the tooth comb was broken off a tooth, she was stunned for a moment, and finally woke up, feeling deeply uncomfortable for her jealousy......
- Why should she bother with a dead man?
She took the broken tooth comb and combed her hair lightly: "Niangniang, the maid will comb it for you......" She gently straightened her long hair and whispered: "Niangniang, why do you always have to comb your hair at night lately?" And this red candle is too bright and disturbs the rest. It is better to teach people to remove a few. ”
She said: "I don't understand the red...... The palace is waiting for His Majesty to come, and His Majesty thinks that he is about to think of the Jiaofang Palace. ”
"Mother?"
Covered with red waiting for the pepper room for many years, touched the character of the master of the pepper room, the queen has never been a person who likes to talk big, she fell out of favor with the king, has always been unshy about it, how come the brain has been confused recently, looking forward to the emperor day and night?
Alas, if you keep going like this, I'm afraid that you will get out of your heart.
I'm worried.
"Hongu Jue...... The king is about to come to find trouble in the main palace. ”
"Bang-" The tooth comb in Fuhong's hand fell, touched the dressing box, and made a loud noise. Covered with red heart anxiety, I'm really afraid that the queen has been staying up late lately, and her heart is not normal: "Niangniang? ”
The queen raised her head, glanced at her, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty will definitely come to the palace for the sake of respecting martial arts." It's okay, this palace is grateful to Jingwu, her father who is a well-informed monarch, who is busy with government and opposition politics every day...... Let's not talk about diligence, he came to the harem occasionally, which time did he come to the Jiaofang Hall of the main palace? ”
That being said, she didn't seem to complain, she was used to it.
Because he heard that the queen was involved in Princess Jingwu's affairs, she faintly showed a worried look: "Niangniang, don't blame the maid for being too talkative, the tricks she used to treat Princess Jingwu at the beginning were too naïve and clumsy, and it is difficult to ensure that no one can see through it." ”
"It's good to know through, it's good to know through...... Queen Wang's eyes didn't have the slightest worry, but showed a smile: "If Your Majesty knows that it was done by the palace, he will come to the palace to ask for an explanation, and the palace will give him an explanation." …… It's good to see Your Majesty," she stretched lightly and said lazily, "I haven't seen Your Majesty in this palace for a long time!" ”
His eyes were full of suspicion.
When the queen saw her fidgeting like this, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry! His Majesty will not embarrass the palace because of a mere respect for martial arts. Even if it's really difficult, this palace has already thought of a plan to deal with it, rest assured, rest assured! ”
Before long, the emperor really set up the Jiaofang Palace.
His Majesty's face was not good-looking, and it was clear that he was asking for guilt.
When it was over, the queen knelt down before going out, but the emperor ignored it, but went around and went straight to the inner hall.
Empress Wang was snubbed by the emperor like this, she didn't feel the slightest inappropriateness, because she followed the emperor into the inner hall and waited with all kinds of carelessness.
When the emperor saw her, he was not angry: "You have been quite idle lately?" What should be done, what should not be done, you are the queen of the middle palace, do you have no sense of proportion in your heart? ”
Seeing that the monarch was so angry, the queen was still neither humble nor arrogant: "May Your Majesty make it clear." ”
"Explicit? You! The emperor raised his eyebrows, only to feel that this woman was touching the scales and challenging his majesty! He stretched out a finger and said angrily: "What is the purpose of me helping you to be the queen and giving you the supreme honor?" You have no children under your knees, so I am willing to entrust my two children to you! But, what have you—what have you done behind my back?! ”
The concubine was terrified...... she bowed her head.
The emperor sat down, angry and deep.
"Panic? I don't want your fear, I want you to be merciful and compassionate. He calmed down a little: "Queen, you are not a reckless person, sue sù me, why do you ,—— treat Jingwu like this?" ”
"Your Majesty xià-" The queen paused and cried: "Concubine...... The concubine couldn't speak. ”
The emperor's eyes were gray. Deep as night.
