(6) Dark tide
"Smack!"
"Ah......h Bang! ”
"The master is angry!" "Mother, you are angry!"
In the Yilan Hall of Huayang Palace, a sound of smashing was heard from afar. Liu Shuxing stood at the coral round table with a red face, a mess under his feet, the carved vase in front of him, the palace lamp with jade hook cloud pattern, the candlestick with enamel porcelain, the mirror surface of diamond-patterned bronze, and the tea set of Sulian purple sand...... All of them were broken on the carpet of long wool, and the palace people who knelt on the ground around them all looked depressed, their faces were frightened, and their bodies were shaking like chaff.
"Degassing?! What am I going to dissipate?! Why did that guy surnamed Song step on my head? The Queen Mother is obviously my aunt, why is she better to the one surnamed Song than to me?! When she said a word to the Queen Mother, she couldn't stop laughing, what about me? Did she eat the jujube paste cake I prepared for her? Are you afraid that I will be poisoned! "Liu Shuxing's originally raised phoenix eyes were cracked, and his eyes were very wide, and the bloodshot in his eyes was very terrifying." Mother, this is in the palace! Don't talk about those ......" Bai Yun heard the last few words, and hurriedly stood up and pulled out Liu Shuxing's sleeve. "Let it go! I don't care about you! Liu Shuxing shook off Bai Yun's hand and propped it on the table beside him, "Look at what she does to me!" In the Shoukang Palace of Nuoda, I have no face in front of so many lowly concubines, isn't it her Liu family's face that I am ashamed! The surname Song is used to pretending to be a person, look how well she coaxes her! Even Shujie gave it to her, I don't even know who her niece is! ”
"Niangniang, what is the origin of this lady's festival?" Bai Yun cautiously tried to divert Liu Shuxing's attention.
"Shujie ......" A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Shuxing's eyes, and he squinted again, "Don't say this, these are not what you should know, you just need to stay away from her in the future." Don't talk about it, I won't mention the surname Song, who called her the queen now! Why is that surnamed Zhuang in my eyes? Look at her fatherless appearance, and get angry! You still want to persuade me, how about it, has anyone come out for her! My aunt didn't say a word! ”
"But no, I can see clearly next to the hall, when Concubine Zhuang knelt in the palace, the Queen Mother didn't sweep the tail of her eyes to show her!" Bai Yun stepped forward and caressed Liu Shuxing with kind words.
"Hmph, who is she, a daughter from a third-grade petty official, pretending to be weak and sympathetic, she gets angry when she sees her face, she should really slap her a few more times!"
"Don't get your hands dirty, let Xiao Shengzi come next time this kind of thing!" The chief eunuch kneeling on the side saw that the atmosphere was slightly relaxed, and immediately flattered him.
"Come on, you do a good job, and this palace will see you. Baiyun, the palace is lacking, go, give me the medicine that my father gave me. ”
"Yes."
The surrounding palace people got up to clean up, Liu Shuxing entered the inner hall alone, closed the door, and pulled down the curtain, everyone knew that the concubine had a seizure and wanted to rest, so they all quietly dispersed, not daring to wander outside the inner hall.
The light in the inner hall was dim, but I saw Liu Shuxing sitting on the edge of the bed, his back was straight, his face was calm, and if he looked closely, there was a trace of the end contained in it, and he didn't see the irritability and madness before the breath.
After another half-ring, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the figure moved quietly in front of Liu Shuxing, without the slightest look of humility.
"Miss."
"You're here." Liu Shuxing smiled suddenly, as if a bunch of swaying stars suddenly appeared in the dimness.
The angry concubine just now seems to have disappeared, and the one in front of her seems to have walked down from the lady's picture, which is both dignified and seems to contain a little charm.
The person in the dark was photographed by such a concubine, and was silent for a while, before he whispered: "Miss, Concubine Zhuang's side is already fine, but what do you want to tell her?" ”
"Not for the time being, let her pay attention to Rou Guiji's movements."
"Miss, you have such an attack outside the palace today, in case the Queen Mother really annoys you......"
"It's just for her to annoy me. Don't worry, I'm in control. Rou Guiji didn't have to be wooed, she was given a title as soon as she entered the palace, and she was never punished for fainting in front of the queen mother, she was afraid that she would be more difficult to deal with than the queen. ”
"Your Excellency'......"
"I will make it clear that tomorrow I will take a leave of absence from the queen mother for me, and say that I am sick."
"Yes."
The person who replied slowly withdrew, Liu Shuxing sat on the side of the bed for another cup of tea, walked to the window lightly, knocked on the window edge, and after a while, a small crack opened in the window, and a small note was handed from the outside, Liu Shuxing quickly opened it, and saw the words on the note clearly through the light leaking from the window, pursed his lips silently, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. He took out another note from his sleeve, knocked on the window, and handed the first note together.
The sunset outside the window is like waves, and it begins to render the palace landscape it sees layer by layer, the palace people tighten their sleeves, take off the lanterns under the eaves and light them, the whole palace city is shrouded in a fiery red, but this fiery red does not bring some lively atmosphere to the palace city of Nuoda, all sides are silent, with the slowly darkening sky, the palace city is like an unknown giant beast, quietly coiled, tempting the people in it.
In the Yufu Palace, Han Xun was carefully applying medicine to Concubine Zhuang.
"Niangniang, this is the third round of medicine, and it looks much better than at noon."
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't go away, don't let this injury heal too quickly." Yu Chi Yanran said softly.
"Niangniang is kind-hearted, why do you need to accompany the concubine Niangniang to do this scene, those who don't know just think we are easy to bully."
"It's good to bully so that they don't have any defense." Concubine Zhuang had an innocent smile in her eyes, but the words she said made people chill for no reason: "Concubine Zhuang wants me to win over Rou Guiji, why should I let her have one more helper, I have one more opponent, but you know that the number of people who do things is more, and the people are not so noble." ”
"The Queen Mother ...... today, It's not like what you can give the concubine Niangniang to rely on, Niangniang is not afraid that we bet on the wrong treasure? ”
"What are you afraid of, it's just a life, if you don't fight for your life in this palace, you will really die. The queen mother doesn't care about anything, and the queen is immature, and it is not certain who will kill the deer. Liu Shuxing is not so brainless, and he is not so smart, so it is easy to master it if he serves such a person. ”
"The mother is wise."
Concubine Zhuang raised her head and smiled, the faint red marks on her face not only did not make her break her appearance, but added a bit of broken beauty to her weak face, arousing the ** that others wanted to destroy and pity. "Have you heard where the emperor is going today?"
Today is the second day of their entry into the palace, I don't know how many people are waiting to see who the emperor is going to luck, everyone is secretly working hard, and once today is over, the thousand autumns in the palace can be roughly divided. "I heard," Han Xun said with a little caution, "The emperor came out of the Qianyuan Palace and went straight to the Xuande Palace. A Fanghua was shocked on the way and was grounded for a month. "Grounded for a month? Xiao Fanghua is also so bold. Concubine Zhuang didn't seem to be surprised that the emperor went to Xuande Palace, and focused on a Fanghua.
"Can you find out who instigated it?"
"It seems that this Wang Fanghua heard the palace people passing by say that the emperor's Luan driving route, so he went to stop the holy car on the road."
"She's afraid she doesn't have the guts yet, someone must have hinted at her something. Go and check, tomorrow I want to say hello to the queen, but I have to have a word. ”
"Yes."
