45. Chapter 45
45 identities exposed
"Four...... Elder brother? β
The person who said this "fourth brother" was not Xin Ning, but Tang Ai.
The moment Tang Ai showed his head from the bathtub, he heard Xin Ning's coquettish voice. She realized a terrible problem, and her brain seemed to be poked hard by a long needle.
Xinning's "fourth brother" can only shout Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu had already taken a step ahead of Tang Ai and turned out the bathtub and shook his clothes casually.
Tang Ai, on the other hand, seemed to have been immobilized, his expression was stagnant, his hands and feet were stiff, and he maintained a half-squatting posture in the bathtub, pouting so hard that he couldn't move.
"Haha, I can finally tell you clearly. Xinning is my seventh sister, and I am Xinning's fourth brother. Xiao Yu is still in that lazy posture, calm and relaxed, not alarmed, with a faint wave in his peach blossom eyes, as if the sky is high and the earth is full of vicissitudes in a smile.
Fourth Brother...... Seventh Sister......
Tang Ai's brain was buzzing, and he didn't even know how he was pulled out of the bathtub by Xiao Yu.
Like a child who has made a mistake, Xin Ning lowered her head and pulled the corner of Xiao Yu, and asked timidly: "Fourth brother, did I get into a big accident?" β
"Why, it's too late for me to thank you." Xiao Yu smiled at Xinning, looked at Tang Ai again, and said with relief, "Actually, I wanted to confess to you for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't found the right time and the right way to find out the truth directly." If it weren't for Xinning, I don't know when I would have been able to open this mouth. β
The water droplets were ticking down Tang Ai's body, but she didn't care at all.
She needed time to digest Xiao Yu's words.
In fact, there are some things that Tang Ai has been able to figure out. She quickly realized that Xiao Yu had actually been revealing a lot of clues to her, intentionally or unintentionally, but she had never carefully pondered the hidden meaning of his words before.
The truth will come at this time, and she will be caught off guard.
Xiao Yu said to Xin Ning: "Do me a favor and find two dry clothes for the two of us." β
Xin Ning nodded, and was about to turn around, but was pulled back by Xiao Yu again. Xiao Yu seemed to have something to say, and leaned over and bit Xin Ning's ear twice.
Xin Ning's eyes widened, her face was incredulous, but in the end, she quickly ran to the other side of Zuiyun Xuan.
Tang Ai didn't want to make a stone statue anymore, so she asked, "You are Xinning's fourth brother, that is, ...... The Four Princes of the Heavens/Dynasty? β
"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and smiled Ningyi, "Accident? β
"It's not unexpected, it's definitely fake." Tang Ai's body was hot from the inside out, and he seemed to lack confidence in everything. But at least there is one thing that she is completely at ease - she no longer has to worry about the relationship between Xiao Yu and Xinning.
Xiao Yu: "My identity is special, the emperor didn't allow me to reveal my identity, so it would be more convenient for him to do things." Even those who know my identity within my great heaven/court can be counted with one hand. I'm sorry to hide it from you for so long. β
He raised his hand and shook it in front of Tang Ai's eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Lord Tang of the six doors has never seen any big winds and waves, but after listening to me say a few words, why did he become like a squirming girl? β
Here we go again, this guy will never be serious for a while!
Tang Ai saw Xiao Yu's nervousness, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This is the Xiao Yu she knows, who laughs and laughs all day long, and likes to be sultry when she has nothing to do.
"Should I continue to call you Xiao Yu, or should I call you His Royal Highness ......" Tang Ai bit his lip.
"I'm me, it's a different kind of fireworks."
ββ¦β¦β
"What's wrong again?"
ββ¦β¦ Why don't you go to heaven?! β
After another while, Tang Ai's expression finally returned to its original state, because she felt that Xiao Yu's stinky and shameless joke was actually very right, he was him, and he was in the future.
Xiao Yu has always treated her as always, usually making small fights and not being in a good shape, but he can always save her unambiguously at critical moments.
Tang Ai thinks that he has already seen through Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu's life principle is to have fun in time, to eat, drink, sleep, and love whoever is loved.
Therefore, Xiao Yu remains the same, and she can't change either, and she can't change the way she treats him because of the revelation of Xiao Yu's identity. Between the two, it's good how to get along and how to get along.
Xin Ning was already dressed properly, and came back with her clothes in her arms after a while.
Xiao Yu smiled and took the clothes from Xin Ning's hand, stabbed Tang Ai with his elbow, and stuffed a set for her.
Tang Ai looked down, and his rare calm mood immediately exploded again.
The clothes that Xiao Yusai gave her were a set of women's clothes, a set of clothes for a little palace maid who was completely cerebral from top to bottom!
"Xiao Yu, what do you mean?!"
"Shhh I wiped my body dry and changed it quickly. Xiao Yu also ignored Tang Ai's fried hair, "The people who came just now said that our two 'assassins' are probably pretending to be eunuchs." For the sake of safety, our eunuchs should not pretend to be. β
Tang Ai hurriedly said: "If you don't pretend to be a eunuch, you must pretend to be a palace maid?!" β
"You're not the only one, aren't you still with me?"
Tang Ai was completely speechless.
It's not impossible to pretend to be a palace maid, but she's just afraid that if she pretends to be, she will really be seen by others that she is a girl herself!
Besides, she Tang Ai still needs to be vigilant at all times when she dresses as a man, while Xiao Yu is a man, and she has to dress up as a woman...... The picture is so beautiful that Tang Ai can't even think about it.
Xiao Yu only has one hand, and it is not easy to wipe his wet hair. Xin Ning rushed to help, but only helped more and more.
Tang Ai looked at Xiao Yu working hard while appeasing Xin Ning, and inexplicably moved his heart of compassion, and threw away the palace maid's clothes: "Xiao Yu, you sit down, I'll help you wipe it." β
"Wow!" Xiao Yu immediately grinned, pulled out of Xinning's side, sat down obediently at the table, and hung his head beautifully.
"I don't know what to be happy about...... Tang Ai scolded and raised his voice, "Sit down and don't move!" β
She moved swiftly, inserting both hands into Xiao Yu's hair, and methodically wiping along his hairline from front to back.
Xiao Yu's hair slapped the back of Tang Ai's hand, and the water droplets that flew out were cool and cool, splashing on Tang Ai's face from time to time, drawing shallow and faint water marks, making Tang Ai's cheeks feel very clear and comfortable. She didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth began to curvature.
At the same time, Xiao Yu actually whistled leisurely, and his tone was light and cheerful, as if he was extremely enjoying Tang Ai's waiting. Tang Ai immediately drooped the corners of his lips again, secretly scolded Xiao Yu for being "shameless", frowned and snorted, "Okay", and shook his hand.
Xiao Yu smiled at Tang Ai and said, "There is labor", and said to Xin Ning: "Lord Xiao Tang doesn't like someone next to him when he changes clothes, you come here to help me." β
After saying that, he took Xinning and turned to the other end of the screen with a cigarette.
Tang Ai thought that he would definitely not be able to hide this time, so he gritted his teeth and changed the clothes of the palace maid, and by the way, he had a little more expectations, wanting to see how "beautiful" Xiao Yu could be when she dressed up as a woman.
Xiao Yu shook his sleeves on the side of the screen, and a ball of paper paste slipped out.
"Hey, it's white." He sighed as he looked at the papier-mΓ’chΓ© and took off his eunuch suit.
Xin Ning toe with her toes and fiddled with the paper paste: "Fourth brother, what did you draw again?" β
"Haha, beauty." Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, "Wait a while, I'll take you to see the real person." β
If Tang Ai is now wearing women's clothes, she can be regarded as a beauty, then after Xiao Yu turns out from behind the screen, then she has to add the word "small" in front of her beauty.
Tang Ai couldn't believe her own eyes when she said anything - she couldn't find Xiao Yu all over the house, she could only see a beauty standing next to Xin Ning, a big beauty!
Tang Ai subconsciously felt that she had definitely seen this beauty, yes, this person was ninety percent similar to the woman painted in Xiao Yu's small courtyard in Xishan, with bright eyes, bright and bright, just doing nothing, only smiling on the side of the screen, all of them seemed to have a peerless elegance, which made it difficult for people to look away from him at a glance.
Tang Ai's gaze didn't dare to linger on this beauty any longer, and as soon as she changed her mind, she felt that there was another person in her memory who was also a little like this beauty.
That man...... It's a coriander.
Speaking of which, Concubine Coriander does have two or three percent similarities with this beauty.
Reason told Tang Ai, this great beauty is Xiao Yu.
In the face of such Xiao Yu, she is not only ashamed of herself.
"I said, Lord Xiao Tang, are you so amazed by my beauty that you can't speak?"
Xiao Yu smiled, and did not pretend to speak in a woman's sharp voice, as soon as he opened his mouth, he had a clear and handsome male voice, which sounded good, but it was indescribably inconsistent with the outfit of the peerless beauty he was in now, and the beauty of the alluring city that was still maintained just now disappeared in an instant.
This guy, open his mouth and kneel. Tang Ai regained a little bit of self-confidence, and found that all kinds of flaws in Xiao Yu's body were also highlighted layer by layer.
For example, his missing right arm still has an empty sleeve; For example, if he casually takes two steps, he can see that his right leg is lame; For another example, when he moves, he has a unique man's chic energy in every move, and there is no real girl like him.
Tang Ai pouted: "You don't need to get carried away, I advise you to get rid of this outfit sooner or later, if you go outside twice like this, you may be regarded as some kind of goblin monster." β
Xiao Yu waved his hand: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a fine." β
Tang Ai: "......"
Xiao Yu: "I heard that the old man is celebrating his birthday this year, and the King of Siam sent a group of singing and dancing girls over, although they are all men, but they are all dressed in women's clothes, and they are even more bewitching than women." I think my appearance has to be above this group of singing and dancing girls. β
Xin Ning chuckled: "Fourth brother, although Tang Ai's appearance is not as good as yours, it is not bad." β
Xiao Yu: "Of course, she is naturally beautiful." β
Tang Ai didn't want to listen to Xiao Yu's nonsense anymore, and solemnly spit out: "I have already investigated the situation with Her Royal Highness the princess, and it is inconvenient to stay in the palace any longer." β
"Don't worry, I'll go with you. But before I can do that, I have to see two people. Xiao Yu looked back indifferently, but glanced out the window, "Concubine Yuanniang, is the first person I want to meet." β
Before he could finish his words, a bunch of figures flashed outside the window.
After a short time, the figure calmly pushed open the door of the temple.
The person who came was none other than Concubine Coriander.
Mo said that it was Tang Ai, even Xinning was startled when she saw her mother, and Tang Ai and Xiao Yu were even more exposed in front of Concubine Qian.
But Concubine Qian's eyes were silent, as if she had already known early on that there were people hiding in Zuiyun Xuan who did not belong to the Six Palaces.
"Xin Ning, you and this Lord Tang from the six doors go out first." Although Concubine Coriander only said lightly, this sentence has an invisible deterrent power.
Xin Ning was already frightened, looked at her mother in horror, and then looked at Xiao Yu: "Fourth brother......
Xiao Yu smiled at her peacefully: "Don't worry, I'll just say a few words to my mother, soon." β
Xin Ning was stunned for a while, and finally ordered Tang Ai to go out of the house with her.
Concubine Qian took the door of the house with a wave of her sleeves, and said without emotion: "Many years ago, I knew that you would secretly enter the palace every once in a while to see Xinning. The emperor has many children, Xinning is the only one who has a deep relationship with you, I am her mother, and I naturally want her to be happy, so every time you come, I don't break it. Even Xinning asked the people from the six doors to blend into the palace, but I turned a blind eye. β
"I think so, and I really appreciate you." Xiao Yu was also silent, "I chose to show up today, just to ask you, did you set the fire in Zhaoyang Palace?" β
Concubine Qian's eyes lit up, and her knuckles creaked.
Xiao Yu smiled and sighed softly: "If I say I understand you, will you think I'm joking?" β
"What do you know about me?"
"I am not qualified to comment on whether the old man is a good emperor or not, but he must not be a good husband and father."
ββ¦β¦ He really wasn't. β
"So it's all too normal for you to hold a grudge against him."
Concubine Qian also smiled, and there were tears in her laughter: "You said you understand, but you still don't understand." In the eyes of others, I favor the sixth palace, but in fact, after Xinning, my majesty and I are no longer husband and wife. β
"Then if you want to hate the old man, why bother to be angry at an abandoned palace."
"Every time he summoned me, he just looked at me, at me! I was by his side, but he would say how good it would be for Concubine Qi to live. This qiΔ is just because I look like Concubine Qi, and he uses me as a stand-in for Concubine Qi at all! My loneliness, my suffering, no one will understand! So I hate, hate the emperor, and hate Concubine Qi even more. β
Xiao Yu was slightly moved, and said for a while: "You set fire to the palace, but you were bumped into by a person, that person may be a hero in the fire to save the beauty, and you are also involved with that person." But this matter was broken by Liu Zhaoyi, who lived in the same palace as you, so you thought of a way to blame her, saying that she was the one who had an affair with a man outside the palace? β
Concubine Qian sneered: "The concubines in the harem compete for favor, and the means of making it are not just to plant blame. Liu Zhaoyi has a small appearance, and she wants to be on the throne, I have long been disheartened by the battle in the harem, and I wanted to let her go, but she did whatever it took to flatter the queen in front of her, if it wasn't for the queen's suspicion of me, I wouldn't have put her to death. It's funny to say, the person who punished her in the end was still the queen who rushed to her stammer. β
She said with a sudden look in her eyes: "You were the one who stole my disguise in the Zhaoyang Palace last night?" β
Xiao Yu laughed: "You don't have to worry, that person doesn't matter who it is, I don't want to care about your private affairs at all." A lot of things have become the way they are now, and the old man has done it himself. β
"Why should I believe you?"
"Just because I hate the old man as much as you do." Xiao Yu's eyes became unfathomable, "My mother has been gone for so many years, and you hate a dead person, and you can't help but look at it too much." Fortunately, there is no substantial loss in Zhaoyang Palace, so this matter will be revealed. β
Concubine Qian stared at Xiao Yu for a long time, and suddenly withdrew from Drunken Yunxuan.
Xin Ning and Tang Ai were outside Zuiyun Xuan, and they couldn't hear the movement inside, and when they saw Concubine Qian coming out, they all stared and opened their mouths together, as if they had been fed a mouthful of durian from Siam.
However, it was only a moment after Concubine Qian left, and a loud voice from the little eunuch came from in front of the main hall of Yufu Palace.
What the eunuch said was that the queen had arrived.
