Chapter 359: Fire
Xu Suyao looked out the window with her cheeks raised, and a few thrushes were chirping outside, which was very lively, but no matter how lively the birdsong was, it couldn't drive away the loneliness in her heart. ()
Xiao Nanting hadn't been here for a few days, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
Xiao Nanfu came several times, mostly asking her for "what Xiao Nanting gave her".
Xu Suyao asked him to think about what it was, but he couldn't think of it.
So how to give it to him? Xiao Nanting has given her so many things, there are a bunch of dowry gifts alone, how can she give them to him?
Xiao Nanfu still didn't give up, one, two, three couldn't say anything, but he sent different people to inquire about the news every day.
Count the days, today it should be the concubine Niangniang who came to persuade her.
However, with a squint of her eyes, Xu Suyao looked at the people walking outside and muttered in her heart.
Empress of Great Qi? But just yesterday? Why is it coming again so soon?
It can't be that the concubine can't come today because of something, and the two of them come over in shifts to talk, right?
Thinking crankily in her heart, Xu Suyao didn't show it at all on her face.
Still lukewarmly asked the maids to prepare the tea that the queen liked to drink on weekdays, Xu Suyao sat on the main seat, calmly waiting for people to enter the house.
Empress Daqi, this time she didn't pose as a queen, she walked in in a hurry, and as soon as her butt was next to the chair, she couldn't wait to stretch her head to look at her: "Your county lord, have you heard?" You want to mourn and change! ”
Before Xu Suyao could recover from her vulgar behavior, she was stunned by the words "mourning" again.
Her first reaction was Xiao Nanting.
After all, I hadn't seen him in days.
However, she quickly vetoed this possibility of the current Great Qi, without Xiao Suoyi, without the Great Yuan Shengshang, Xiao Nanfu is at most a troublesome hairy boy, can he kill Xiao Nanting? Don't be careless and kill yourself!
In the second reaction, Xu Suyao guessed in her heart that this was the queen's strategy.
But Xu Suyao overestimated the queen. This queen, at best, can only be regarded as a little clever.
"Queen Mother, what's the matter, please tell me bluntly, this palace has not interacted with outsiders here for a long time, and it has been a long time since I heard the news."
Except for Xiao Nanting, no one else really passed any news to her. And for a person who is very sensitive to news, it has been very, very long without getting new news for a few days.
Only then did Empress Daqi raise her hand and wipe her tears with a handkerchief: "This palace also just heard that my sister's grandmother died a few days earlier." ”
With a bang in her head, Xu Suyao stood up suddenly.
When she came back to her senses, her hand had already put on the collar of the phoenix robe of the Empress of Daqi: "What did you say?" Who died? ”
"Uh...... It's like, it's like some old lady......" Empress Daqi was frightened by her. She's grown so big, she's never been carried like this.
Xu Suyao let go of her hand, and some important information flashed in her mind.
It shouldn't be, she had already told Siming before, with Di Geng, Steward Zhou, and Shan Jian here, Mrs. Ai shouldn't have an accident!
"Is the old lady dying?"
Knowing that what she got was definitely not the answer she wanted, she still asked.
At this time, the Empress of Daqi, the whole person turned into a eighth woman, and said with a face full of regret: "Sister, there are really unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, who would have thought that the old lady in the mansion could actually cause a fire?" When the palace listened to the report of his subordinates, he only felt that his heart was unbearable, and he heard that a good person was burned alive, leaving only a charred human figure in the room...... Tsk, so cruel, so sad, Duan Wang Ye deliberately didn't tell you this news in order to prevent you from returning to Beijing to worship the old lady......"
Empress Daqi was wiping her tears and talking, while watching Xu Suyao's reaction through her fingers.
Seeing that Xu Suyao's whole person was as if she was petrified, she was shocked, and she felt a little happy in her heart.
Xu Suyao has all kinds of flavors in her heart, more bitterness, incomprehension, and disappointment!
What Empress Daqi said later, she didn't hear clearly at all, her attention was all in front.
How can an ordinary fire burn people like that? Touch it and it scatters into ashes?
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Xu Suyao's voice was ethereal: "What about Xu's mansion?" Others in the Xu Mansion, how? ”
Da Yuan and Da Qi are far apart, and even if the people here deliberately pay attention, the news they get as quickly as possible will have to be delayed for several days.
If it is not deliberate, but allows the people to spread falsehoods, needless to say, the speed is needless to say, and the truth of the matter is also worth playing.
Queen Daqi didn't tell any lies, and honestly confessed everything she knew.
"I heard that there was a ceremony held in a place called the Inscription Hall that day, Lord Xu and Xu Gongzi both went, and when the house was on fire, neither of them knew it, and when they knew, they could only receive a handful of hot ashes. More than half of the maids in the house died, and the fire was not small, and the neighbors burned down many homes. ”
Xu Suyao lowered her head and listened, and said slowly: "Tell the Holy Lord, this palace wants to go back to Dayuan." ”
A smile quickly flashed in the eyes of the Empress of Great Qi. But she had a look of regret on her face.
"Sister, you also know that you didn't come here because of the Holy One's intentions...... According to outsiders, you and Duan Wang Ye are still in Xi'an City! Duan Wang Ye also let go, and only asked the saint to take good care of you and not let you leave the palace...... You also know that Duan Wang Ye has always been a heartless man, all the women have been used by him, and there is only the fate of being discarded, you ......"
Rolling her eyes, Xu Suyao said that this topic is really biased.
Even if she wants to say that Xiao Nanting is using her, she shouldn't emphasize women, right? Why is this man's resentment so deep? In my impression, in those twenty years, Xiao Nanting had no contact with her!
complained casually in her heart, Xu Suyao thought about how to make this queen leave quickly.
She needed to sort out her thoughts, but the queen was too noisy.
At this time, the concubine Niangniang, who was scheduled to come over today, came over.
This concubine Niangniang, unlike other concubines, is very valued by Xiao Nanfu, even the Queen of Daqi, who never looks at others in her eyes, is also very wary of this concubine Niangniang.
Concubine Niangniang's father is a very famous general, and her elder brother is a talented and talented master, Xiao Nanfu, who is also very good at talking and playing, was fooled by him, and almost obeyed his words. And herself, hum, is not a virgin, she actually entered the palace and climbed to the position of the concubine! Under the guise of sharing worries for the saints, I don't know what to do in the imperial study all day long!
And the concubine also looks down on the queen.
This queen mother, the status of the family is not high, the foundation is shallow, and she has no family background. It was because he recognized the son of King Kang, who no one else was willing to choose, and followed people steadily for more than ten years, and he effortlessly obtained the position of the queen's mother. With a stupid brain, shallow eyelids, and an old age, she is also worthy of being a queen?
When the eyes of the two people met, a burst of fire burst out.
Xu Suyao silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
This concubine is a person with brains, she saw that the queen mother was also here, bowed respectfully, and began to carry out her task, and began to set Xu Suyao's words, hoping to ask the most important gift from her mouth The prince gave her.
But she has a brain, doesn't mean that the queen also has a brain?
It was rare for the queen mother to find such a thing, which made Xu Suyao's expression that had hardly changed, cracked, it was the time of Se, how could she let the concubine disturb her pleasure?
So, no matter what the concubine said, she had to say something, similar to Mrs. Ai had just passed away, Xu Suyao couldn't go back to send the spirit, how could she think about any gifts now.
Xu Suyao also meant it at first, interjecting two sentences, but later seeing that the concubine couldn't hold back, she began to talk to the queen, so she let the two of them bite each other, and began to think about Dayuan.
What ceremony is held in the Inscription Museum, Xu Keren and Xu Siming are not in the Xu Mansion?
Xu Siming is not in the Xu Mansion, which is understandable, but what happened to the Inscription Pavilion that made Xu Keren go too? Did Xu Keren send Xu Siming there, or did he go by himself? Did he go by himself, or did he go as Xu Siming's family? If he went on his own, for what?
and Xiao Nanting's attitude, which made Xu Suyao's heart a little sour.
He should know his feelings for Mrs. Ai, when Xu Keren deliberately treated her and Xu Siming coldly, and the two of them didn't feel the slightest family affection, it was Mrs. Ai who gave them hope and gave them the warmth of home.
If it is said that the only reason why she stayed in the Xu Mansion at that time, instead of moving to the Inscription Hall or the Mansion of the Lord of your county, was Old Madam Ai.
But he ......
I felt a little resentful of Xiao Nanting in my heart, and suddenly there was a slightly sharp voice from the queen mother in my ears.
Xu Suyao turned her head and was dumbfounded when she saw that the queen mother was pulling the concubine's hair regardless of her image.
I couldn't help but make an evaluation in my heart, this battle is the first time I've seen it.
Secondly, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She was said to be biased by the queen's mother.
Xiao Nanting is not perfect, how can he be comprehensive? You can't just put the blame on him because he didn't think about it, right?
However, another news brought by the queen mother made her confused.
Why do outsiders say that she and Xiao Nanting are still in Xi'an City? Isn't it the news that the two of them are leaving, and no one knows yet?
In a mess in her heart, Xu Suyao pressed her temples.
This queen mother, her mouth is too big, and she doesn't know how true or false what she said, so she analyzes it here. It seems that Xiao Nanting has to be contacted as soon as possible, even if he is not contacted, he has to find a reliable source to know the accurate news of Xi'an City and the accurate news in the Dayuan Xu Mansion!
