Chapter 142: A Disaster Comes from Far Away
142
Xue Yinong looked at the satisfied smile of the second fool, and a smile rose on his face, took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, touched her forehead, and bent down to imprint a shallow kiss on it. As if hypnotized, he said, "Sleep." β
I took off my clothes, read a book on the bed for a long time, felt tired, and lay down to rest, my eyes swept to the empty pillow next to me, remembering the past and Xu Shutong talking and laughing, as if it was right in front of me, with a sense of melancholy and the satisfaction of memories, quietly falling asleep.
In the dream, I met the two of them again, their eyes were facing each other, they were already glued and couldn't move, they only looked at each other quietly, the spring breeze was blowing, stirring each other's sideburns, and the sideburns were soft and raised to the face.
Xue Yinong said: "Shutong, you're back." β
Xu Shutong in the dream didn't speak, just smiled at her. Xue Yinong also felt unusually happy, and his two eyes were about to pile up countless stars and emit countless starlight.
Suddenly, he heard a broken gong knocking in his ears, and there was a faint human voice, Xue Yinong was forced to open his eyes from the dream, but saw the second fool standing in front of the bed, holding a small gong in his hand, and kept knocking, he couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust, a burst of annoyance, hating her for ruining her dream, and her tone was inevitably a little harsh, "What are you knocking on in the morning?" β
The second fool looked very aggrieved, "It's a pity that my aunt asked Wo to get up, hum." She didn't appreciate Xue Yinong, she was very uncomfortable, and as soon as she turned around, she put the small gong on the small stool and ran out by herself.
Xue Yinong looked at the light of the sky outside the door, it was not early, she should get up and go to the morning court.
Outside the palace, a carriage was slowly coming in the direction of the palace. When I came to the Flying Crane Tower, a female voice inside said, "Stop." β
The carriage stopped, and a graceful woman came out of it, she was wearing a hat with a veil on it, and others could not see her face clearly, but she could hear it from her voice, and this was definitely a rare beauty.
The woman took the burden in her hand, carried it on her back, took the silver from her bosom and threw it to the coachman, "That's it." After speaking, he went straight into the Flying Crane Tower and asked Xiao Er for something to eat, and he didn't even pick up the hat.
She ate very slowly and watched the people in the building come and go. This Feihelou is the largest restaurant in the capital, there are many stories of people, everyone eats and eats, and chats about the recent gossip news in the capital.
"I heard that the emperor has recently mobilized troops?"
"Oh, there's such a thing."
"Your brother doesn't seem to know very well, this is the biggest news in the capital, saying that it is to respect the king for revenge, the emperor is really affectionate and righteous, he was wronged before, and he didn't care at all, he can be regarded as magnanimous."
When the masked woman heard the words 'respect for the king', the whole person's expression was wrong, she was none other than Xu Muran, who was pretending to be Xu Shuying, who had been in the imperial tomb for a year, and her sentence had expired, so she came back, but she had been outside for a long time, and she was no longer clear about the affairs of the capital, so she did not enter the palace directly, but inquired outside.
When I heard the word 'revenge' again, I was panicked, I didn't know what happened to Xue Qingqiu, I wanted to go up and grab the two people who were talking, but I felt that the behavior was rude, and those ordinary people who were only afraid couldn't speak, so they didn't move at the moment and continued to listen to them.
Another middle-aged man who accosted him said, "Oh, is something wrong with King Gongjing?" β
"You don't know yet, I was killed by a Xibei goods, the emperor found out the truth, and the Xibei goods were corrected, and this time General Li was dispatched to clean up, so as not to let this fish get away in troubled waters. Come to think of it, it won't be long before the news of General Lee's complete victory will come out there. β
When Xu Muran heard this, she only felt trembling all over, her lips couldn't help trembling, she couldn't imagine that Xue Qingqiu had killed someone, or what kind of fake.
Xue Qingqiu's martial arts are strong, how can he kill someone lightly. No, it can't be, it must be Xue Yinong's ghost, he has wanted to clean up King Gong for a long time, he must have pretended to borrow someone else's hand to kill King Gong Jing, and then kill people and kill people, pretending to be a good person.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, her angry eyes were red, and the chopsticks in her hand were broken, the little second brother came over and brought a bowl of Sanxian soup, and when she saw the broken chopsticks, she couldn't help shouting: "Girl, girl, are you okay?" β
Xu Muran Huo Ran sobered up and said, "It's okay, I just had a little pain in my stomach and pinched off all the chopsticks, please get me another pair of chopsticks, the price will be calculated separately." β
The little second brother was relieved to see that she was fine. "Wait a minute, girl, this is coming." I went in a hurry, added chopsticks to Xu Muran, Xu Muran ate, settled the account, and went out of the Feihe Tower.
My brother is dead, and so is King Jingjing.
She has no ties now, but her hatred for Xue Yinong cannot be reduced with time, and she has to avenge the revenge of killing her brother and the king of respect. Even if you die, you don't hesitate to do it.
After thinking about it for a while, he planned to go to the Sujin Imperial Mansion first, where there were still many undercover agents who respected the king, so he would get in touch with them first, and then find a way to take revenge.
Xu Muran went to the street again, looking for some rare things, and then went to the Sujin Imperial Mansion, and when he arrived at the door, he restrained his sad expression, paused for a moment, and then made up his mind and walked towards the door.
There were two guards in front of the door, and when they saw her coming, they stretched out their hands to stop her: "Who dares to break into the Su Jin Imperial Palace." β
Xu Muran took off the hat and said softly: "I'm tired of the two eldest brothers to report, so I said that Xu Shuying arrived and wanted to see the queen mother." β
When the two guards saw her appearance, they were already fascinated, recognized who she was, and heard her call herself humbly, and said again and again, "It turns out that it is Princess Shuying, and her subordinates should be damned, so go in and tell the Empress Dowager SΓΉhe, please wait a moment." β
Xu Muran nodded and watched one of the guards hurry in. After the guard entered, he searched for many places in a row before he found the Empress Dowager He, who was laughing with the concubines in the house and teasing the children.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Princess Shuying is asking to see you outside the door."
Hearing this 'Princess Shuying', Empress Dowager He didn't react for a while, after all, this title has not been called for a year, she is a noble person, where do you remember whom, it took a long time to remember, and smiled: "It's her here, please come in quickly." β
The guard said, "Yes." "Invite Xu Muran in.
After Xu Muran came in, he walked through several corridors and saw everyone in a pavilion. Standing far away, I saw the Empress Dowager He.
"Shuying asks the queen mother for peace."
She was very respectful, and the Empress Dowager He was very happy, even if she had forgotten it, she thought about it again this time, and she didn't care if it was a fake or not, she beckoned to her and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you gone?" A pair of eyes looked at Xu Muran, and saw that she was thinly dressed, and the clothes on her body were not very bright, and I didn't know where she came from.
Xu Shuying didn't mention it about her going to the imperial mausoleum, and said in her heart: "She asked like this, obviously she didn't know the past, why should I mention it, embarrassing myself, it's better not to say it." Finding an excuse: "I went back to the rivers and lakes to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes for my father-in-law." I have always been thinking about the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and my sister came to take a look. β
Empress Dowager He smiled gently and let her take a seat.
Xu Muran offered a gift, "Some small gifts, please don't dislike the Queen Mother." β
Empress Dowager He ordered the palace maids beside her to accept it, and said with a smile: "It's good for you to come, so why bother to break the bank." The mourning family heard the emperor say that you go to make friends, how can you make friends, but there is no one who is satisfied? β
Xu Muran said in his heart: "It turns out that the emperor explained to everyone like this. I couldn't help but continue, "Ah, the emperor is really, why did he even say this, how can I tell everyone in the future." β
Empress Dowager He couldn't help laughing when she saw her little girl's twisting appearance. "This can't be complained about by the emperor, she said the same thing as you, but she was forced to ask by the mourning family at the beginning, so she honestly confessed, but she found it? How are people? β
Thinking of Xue Qingqiu, and thinking of his death, I couldn't help but feel sad. I didn't know it, I had already shed two lines of tears, and the Empress Dowager He frowned and said, "Isn't it good?" β
"Hmm." Xu Muran had an accent in his nose, took a sharp breath and said, "He's dead." β
Empress Dowager He snorted lightly, "How did you die?" β
Xu Muran didn't dare to directly say who that person was, but said, "He died of illness." β
Empress Dowager He said 'oh', "I really didn't expect things to be like this, I think you haven't come because he's sick and you have to take care of him." He can be taken care of by you, even if he is unfortunate, he is happy, so don't be too sad. β
Xu Muran said: "Yes." Busy wiping her tears, Empress Dowager He asked people to fetch water to wash her face, and asked her to make up for fat powder, so that she could cover her haggard face a little.
"What are you going to do now?"
"Not for the time being, I just want to come back to see everyone, and I have to think about it in the long run."
Empress Dowager He said: "It's okay, there is a mourning family, you can rest assured, if there is anything unspeakable, just say to the mourning family, don't be wronged." β
Her words moved Xu Muran, she didn't have a father and mother when she was a child, Empress Dowager He was amiable, although she didn't meet many times, she was very affectionate when she returned.
But she thought that she was replacing Xu Shuying's identity, she might have been good to herself for the sake of Xu Shutong's face, and she was a little sad and sad.
At this time, someone came in from outside the pavilion and reported: "Empress Dowager He, the Emperor Taishang has something to look for you, let you go quickly." β
Empress Dowager He asked him what was going on, but she said she didn't know, and she just arrived. She instructed Xu Muran, "You should be relieved first, don't rush back to the palace today, stay and eat first, let's talk, and the mourning family will not accompany you if there is something to do at this time." He said to the concubines, "You accompany her." "Yes.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager He went, a few people were not familiar with Xu Muran, and they were impatient to accompany them, so they found an excuse to leave with their children, but the remaining few were Xu Muran's acquaintances.
They work undercover together and know each other.
Xu Muran saw that there was no one near and far, and those who stayed must also be the henchmen of these people, so he mentioned to them the killing of Xue Qingqiu.
The people said, "We all know." β
Xu Muran said: "Do you have any good plans, you want to avenge the prince, when the prince was alive, he did not treat your sisters badly." β
The crowd just smiled.
Xu Muran said: "At this moment, it is the time for us to serve the prince. β
A woman yawned, obviously impatient to listen to this paragraph, and said apologetically: "Sisters, I'm sleepy, go back first, you talk slowly, Miss Xu, please also please." Holding the child and about to get up, Xu Muran grabbed her.
"Twilight Girl."
Dusk Yan laughed twice, "Miss Xu, I won't tell you, the prince is not very good to me, I have only stayed in the palace for a while, everyone knows that I bought it from the building, and I am not very familiar with the prince, and I pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, which is very fair, and now I have married according to the will of the prince, and the child has been born, I have not treated the prince half of the place, and I have fulfilled my obligations." I beg your pardon for taking my leave. β
The rest of the people also wanted to leave when they saw that Twilight was leaving.
Xu Muran shouted: "Miss Xiao Rou, the prince treats you well, you are not a girl bought in the building, if it weren't for the prince to pay off your debts for you, where can you enjoy such wealth now, you can't be a man without a conscience." β
Xiao Rou was quite embarrassed, "Miss Xu, I am an ignorant and ignorant person, if the prince regrets it and wants me to pay back the money, I will definitely try my best to get the emperor to pay it back to him, but now that he is gone, this debt ......"
"Haven't you thought about his deep friendship with you?"
Xiao Rou pulled her mouth and didn't speak. She doesn't want to wade into any more troubled waters, respecting the death of the king, now the emperor is her heaven, if she is involved with anyone again, it will not do her any good to bury the current day.
Xu Muran pointed to the other two: "You also mean this?" β
The other two looked calm, obviously not eating this set. "Miss Xu, we know that King Jing has passed away, and we are very sad, and the emperor has avenged him, so be it."
"That's it?" Xu Muran said coldly, "Don't forget jì, your son, but his flesh and blood are ......" As soon as the four of them heard this, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes showed murderous intent, now the four of them are enjoying happiness, even if their son is not the emperor in the future, then he can be crowned a king and a marquis, there is no need to take any risks, this is a stable life, they don't want to be disturbed by Xu Muran, a crazy woman.
Xu Muran saw the expressions of the four people, only snorted and left, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. looked at Xu Muran's back and said: "With her, sooner or later someone will find out about us, it is better to find a way to kill her." "All four of them said yes.
