Chapter Sixty-Eight: Princess Jinghua
[Ran^Text^Library] Chang Feng spent a day presenting the life stories and portraits of the women who were mutilated by the prince to Xiao Jue. After Xiao Jue saw it, his face suddenly changed.
"Go and get Mu Liufei for me." Xiao is absolutely in the wind road.
Chang Feng bowed his head slightly and retreated, and after half a cup of tea, Mu Liufei came to the study, and seeing Xiao Jue staring at some women's portraits, Mu Liufei asked curiously: "Lord Wang, what are these?" ”
Xiao Jue pushed the portrait in front of Mu Liufei, got up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, took a deep breath and said: "These are innocent women who were killed by the prince, this king visited the prince's mansion last night and found that the prince couldn't get close to people, so he often killed innocent women. ”
At the mention of Xiao Han, Mu Liufei's face changed in vain, and he clenched one hand into a fist and reprimanded: "I didn't expect the prince to be so cruel. ”
Xiao Jue sighed lightly, in the end, they made the prince what he is today, but the prince's behavior is too outrageous. If he hadn't gone to the prince's mansion on a whim yesterday, how many innocent women would have died in the hands of the prince.
"This king came to you because he wanted you to disguise the women in the portrait, and this king wanted to find the prince for these women to ask for their lives." Xiao Jue's implication has already been made clear, he wants people to dress up as these women to disturb the peace of the prince's mansion.
Mu Liufei was slightly stunned, then reacted, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes. "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will find a way." Mu Liufei put the portrait away.
Xiao Jue snorted lightly, but heard Mu Liufei's somewhat hesitant voice say, "Lord Wang... Xiangxue, she always thinks about you, are you ......"
"Stream non. Do you really love Xiangxue? Xiao Jue turned around and looked at Mu Liufei with a deep and silent gaze.
Mu Liufei lowered his head, but he didn't know what Xiao Jue wanted to say. Before Mu Liufei could answer, Xiao Jue sighed lightly: "Do you love Xiangxue or are you harming her?" If you really love her, how can you push her to another man? Liufei, what does it look like to love someone? ”
Mu Liufei suddenly understood what Xiao Jue meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, how could he not love Qiu Xiangxue, but there was only one Xiao Jue in Qiu Xiangxue's heart. If she had a trace of his position in her heart, he would not push Xiangxue to Xiao Jue.
"As long as it is what she wants, as long as she says a word, even if the sword and the sea of fire go to the soup and the fire, she will not give up." That's right, this is Mu Liufei's love for Qiu Xiangxue, and he can do anything for her, even if he gives up his life.
Xiao Jue's eyes flickered slightly, although he was not surprised that Mu Liufei said such a thing, it still made him feel incredible when he heard it.
But if you think about it carefully, Mu Liufei's words are not unreasonable, and he will do this for the sake of Qiushuiman, right? It's just that the difference between him and Mu Liufei is that he and Qiu Shuiman love each other, but Mu Liufei and Qiu Xiangxue are not. Xiao Jue has a headache about this complicated and difficult love, how can he persuade Mu Liufei when he is already in the game?
Xiao Jue waved his hand and didn't say anything more. "You go back." There was some tiredness in his voice.
Mu Liufei raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Jue, with a complicated look in his eyes, and then turned around and retreated with those few scrolls.
On the fourth day when Qiu Shuiman was locked in the cell of Dali Temple, the father-in-law in the palace brought Qiu Shuiman to the palace with a holy decree.
Qiu Shui Man was led straight into the emperor's imperial study, kneeling on the cold ground, Qiu Shui smelled the fragrance of ambergris in the air, and his complicated mood was slightly calmer.
The divine pill offered by Nie Rongze was really effective, Xiao Mohai was refreshed after taking it, and his spirit was much better, and the most important thing was that he and his favorite concubine could enjoy it wantonly.
Remembering that Xiliangxun was still waiting for a reply in the palace, Xiao Mohai also had to make a decision today, so he sent someone to mention Qiushuiman to the palace.
"Princess Yin, are you guilty?" Xiao Mohai's majestic voice questioned the kneeling people in front of the hall.
Qiu Shuiman took a deep breath and buried his head on the smooth ground, his voice crisp but calm. "The son is wronged, and he asks his father to investigate."
"Oh? Then I ask you, but have you ever seen the king of Xiliang privately? Xiao Mohai asked in a deep voice.
Qiu Shuiman didn't hide it, so he told everything that happened, and said at the end: "Erchen was kind enough to save that person at that time, but who knew that he was actually the king of Xiliang." I think he must have been jealous of Erchen's answer to his question that day, causing him to lose the city, because he deliberately approached Erchen. That's the way it is, and I ask my father to see it. ”
Xiao Mohai squinted slightly, looking at the autumn water, she was amazed at the palace banquet that day, which made him remember her vividly. When he heard that Qiu Shuiman colluded with King Xiliang, he was also a little suspicious, but as an emperor, he would rather believe it than not believe it, which is a common problem of every emperor.
Later, Nie Rongze's words cleared the doubts in his heart, and his worries about her were also eliminated. The reason why he didn't interrogate Qiu Shuiman for a long time was actually to test Xiao Jue.
He wanted to see if this son would disobey his holy decree for the sake of a woman, but Xiao Jue had been quite quiet for the past few days, but he wrote that his father would find out the truth.
Such a temptation really made him have no doubts in his heart.
"It's just that the king of Xiliang is determined to bring you back to Xiliang to punish the crime. At present, the hundred officials also have doubts that you are colluding with the King of Xiliang, if you have a way to clear your suspicions and make the King of Xiliang accept his thoughts, I will let you go back. ”
Although the request made by the King of Xiliang in Beijing was unreasonable, if his request was rashly dismissed, it would be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. At the moment, he can only let Xi Liangxun accept his thoughts, because Xiao Mohai said to Qiu Shui like this.
The autumn water is a bit big, and this matter is not so easy to do. But Qiu Shuiman didn't want to miss this opportunity, she leaned over and bowed, "Erchen is willing to give it a try." ”
Xiao Mohai nodded with satisfaction and looked at Qiu Shuiman. "Don't let me down, for now, you will live in the palace first, and when you think of a good plan, you can send someone to tell me at any time."
Qiushui stood up and responded: "Yes, Erchen understands. ”
Xiao Mohai immediately called Huang Zhong to bring Qiu Shuiman to the Minghui Palace in the palace to live, although she was not forbidden to her feet, but there were also a few chamberlains and palace maids accompanying her.
Qiu Shuiman has been thinking hard about how to make Xi Liangxun accept her thoughts, this day she came to the imperial garden to scatter her heart, thinking about countermeasures, and heard a crisp laugh from a distance.
In the garden not far away, a woman in a crimson dress was flying a kite, and Qiu Shuiman looked up to see that the butterfly kite fell down because of the bad wind and landed on the rockery on the side.
The woman in scarlet stomped her foot, waved off the palace people around her, but climbed the rockery alone to pick up the kite. Qiushui pondered for a moment, thinking that the woman was the emperor's concubine and didn't care, and wanted to go around and walk away, but heard an exclamation.
When Qiu Shui looked up, the woman in scarlet clothes fell from the rockery, and everyone screamed again and again, but at this time, a white shadow crossed and caught the falling woman steadily.
"Princess, are you alright?" Nie Rongze's gentle voice asked the person in his arms.
The scarlet-clothed woman's innocent eyes blinked, as if she was a little frightened, but when she reacted, her cheeks were scarlet, and she hurriedly shook her head and said softly: "It's okay, thank you National Teacher." ”
Nie Rongze let go of her, but her steps were a little vain and she didn't stand firm, Nie Rongze saw the situation and took her in his arms again, but her face became more and more ruddy.
The palace maids who were waiting around hurriedly surrounded and asked the scarlet-clothed woman, and Nie Rongze handed her over to those palace people. Watching the palace people help the scarlet-clothed woman leave, Nie Rongze raised his head, but his eyes fell on Qiu Shui Man.
The hem of Nie Rongze's clothes swayed slightly, and he walked towards Qiushuiman. "I heard that you have entered the palace, so I rushed over. How many days does it feel like to be in prison? Nie Rongze asked her with a smile, but with a hint of ridicule.
Qiushui glanced at him, looked at the departing scarlet woman not far away, kept looking back, smiled suddenly, and teased him in turn. "Who is that person just now, it seems to be in your spring heart." Qiushui asked him with a smile.
The corners of Nie Rongze's lips hooked slightly, and the center of his eyebrows raised slightly: "Princess Jinghua, Xiao Yin." The baby daughter of the current queen and the younger sister of the crown prince. ”
Qiushui was slightly stunned for a moment, she had never heard that the prince had a younger sister.
Nie Rongze seemed to know what she wanted to say, and replied to her: "Princess Jinghua was born weak and sickly, and she is not suitable for the dry climate of the capital, so she has been cultivating in Songhua Palace, and now she is in good health, and she only came to the imperial capital a few days ago. ”
"I see. Then congratulations to the national teacher, maybe you are the concubine of Zhaoyue Kingdom. Qiushuiman smiled lightly, but saw a different color on Nie Rongze's face, but it disappeared after a slight flicker, the different color seemed to be disdain and hatred, Qiushuiman once thought that he was wrong.
"You're still in the mood to laugh at Monza, it seems that your matter is settled?" Nie Rongze's face was straight, a little strict.
This kind of Nie Rongze is really rare, in her memory, this person has always been a warm spring breeze, rarely angry, even if he calculates anything, he will not show it at all. But at the moment, Nie Rongze is very serious, and his words are still a little cold.
Qiu Shui avoided Nie Rongze's sharp gaze, and the tip of his heart trembled slightly. didn't know that he was wrong in that sentence, which made Nie Rongze unhappy.
"Does the national teacher have a good plan to help me?" Qiushui asked casually.
Nie Rongze looked at her like this, and his originally slightly angry mood suddenly swept away, and he smiled lightly, and regained his natural and harmless appearance. "Nope." He raised an eyebrow and spat out those two words.
Qiushui pursed his lips, but listened to Nie Rongze's warm voice and said, "But Xiao Jue has a few words for me to bring to you." He pretended to be mysterious and looked at the autumn water.
Qiu Shui Man was curious when she heard Xiao Jue's words to her, and she couldn't help but be a little angry when she saw Nie Rongze, an old fox, selling Guanzi, but she couldn't help it. "You mean, what did Xiao Jue tell you to tell me?"
Nie Rongze shrugged his shoulders, and said in a strange voice: "What, that's how you talk to the future colt?" ”
The autumn water was full of light, and he immediately understood what was going on. She looked up at Nie Rongze and secretly scolded this man in her heart for being shameless and despicable. "It turns out that the national teacher is angry because of this incident, okay, it's mine. But Princess Jinghua looks good, why doesn't the national teacher like it? ”
The corners of Nie Rongze's lips twitched slightly, and he turned around and left.
Qiushui hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said in a pleading voice: "I'm not joking with you, but you sue me, what do you ask you to tell me?" ”
Nie Rongze raised his lips and chuckled, but said, "I have already sued you." Princess Yin is extremely smart, she must be able to guess it, right? He laughed aloud and walked away.
Qiu Shui behind her was stunned in place, and after a while, she suddenly grabbed a touch of aura, and suddenly a clear smile appeared on her face, so it was!
