Chapter 329: Rumors
After being in the palace on errands for a long time, his eyesight and guessing ability have also improved a lot, and those little eunuchs who were guarding outside the imperial study began to understand what was happening in the imperial study. But when it comes to speculation, lonely men and widows live in the same room, and Xue Tianao never lets people close the door of the imperial study for the sake of smoothness when Xue Tianao reviews the folds.
Only that day was closed, but he didn't say a word.
Especially after Xue Tianao finished his work, when the little eunuch went in to pack up his things, Miss Yanran was gone, and there was a mess everywhere in front of and behind the desk, so she didn't have to think about it to know what was going on here.
The matter spread like the wind, and the most angry was still the virtuous concubine in charge of the harem-Yan Mosu, she slapped the table hard, "Hmph~ I really want to be the master and want to go crazy, and I change the law to seduce the emperor." Isn't it just a bit of a posture, even if you become the master in the future, your fate is the same in the hands of this palace. ”
Concubine Jing-Xia Chuwu, who was in the same concubine position as Concubine Xian, was very indifferent, and just smiled after hearing the rumors, "The emperor spoiled her so much from the beginning, and specially allowed her not to abide by the red tape in the palace, the palace had already expected it, and it was a matter of time before she was canonized." is just a woman of unknown origin in the rivers and lakes, no matter how strong her martial arts are, whether she has the ability to survive in this harem is another matter. ”
The twin sisters of the Su family are still in the same mood as they are the same sisters, relying on their young age and the road is still far away, so they are not in a hurry, but they want to be happy to see others fight the genius.
The pregnant Ji Xiangning is dedicated to the fetus and rarely goes out. In order to hold the fetus in her belly, no one will be provoked at the moment, and when the matter reached her ears, she also deliberately instructed the people around her, "Talk less and do more, don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth?" That's someone else's business, what does it have to do with you? "Continue to live your quiet life.
In addition to Yan Mosu, the more popular person is Jiang Lingxi, who once knew Xiao Wanyao, and is also the only person in the harem who knows about the relationship between Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao. She lost to Xiao Wanyao back then, and now she is just a person who looks like her, and she even wants to rob her of a man.
But she has been lying in bed, and Wan Zixin, the only woman in the harem who does not often come forward, disagreed, just listened to the palace maid next to her, leaned on the soft couch to sleep, she just opened her eyes, and continued to sleep her own nap.
It's just that when he closes his eyes, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked with a touch of arc, which is bewitching and moving. The palace maids who are on errands under her don't know what kind of person their master is? Everyone else is eager for the emperor's favor, and they are looking forward to the emperor going to their palace, but Wan Zixin always presumes that she is unwell, rarely goes out, and rarely meets other concubines.
Even in his own palace, he rarely spoke to his subordinates. The people below wondered if there was something wrong with her brain, and worried that if her master was not favored, this slave would definitely not be much better, but the emperor's favor was not less at all, but he rewarded a lot of things.
And his own master doesn't look like the kind of person with a few roots in his head at all, his sharp eyes reveal a cold air, probably his personality. This is the only explanation for the past.
The people in the harem were eager to wait for the day when Yanran was canonized, but there was no news. Everything was as usual, and I didn't find out how the emperor and Yanran were entangled. No other anomalies have been noted.
It seems that everything has been normal since the incident in the imperial study.
Could it be that the news is fake? Although some people doubted this matter in their hearts, everyone saw that Xue Tianao personally put on his own clothes for Yanran in front of the concubines in the heavy rain that day. There must be spoiling, but I don't know what the reason is why it wasn't canonized.
Although Xiao Wanyao explained a lot in front of Xue Tianao, she didn't know whether he listened to it or not. I don't know what is going on in his heart, and whether the knot in her heart that worries her has been opened?
If it's turned on? Why did she treat herself as usual, and even made her feel a little indifferent, indifferent? Could it be that I feel wrong?
Xue Tianao treats the concubines in the harem the same way, and originally thought that after revealing his identity, he would be a little different. After all, she watched Xue Tianao struggle for Xiao Wanyao's pain. But it didn't turn out as she thought.
What was Xue Tianao thinking? At the beginning, she made such an oath, so that she could let go of the whole world, and she begged him to go with her and let go of the world.
Is there nothing else to talk about except for a long reunion?
Xiao Wanyao struggled with this matter for a long time, but after thinking about it, she also thought about it, and finally decided to stay by herself, since she stayed, she should accept Xue Tianao's qiē, and she should accept his status as an emperor. Isn't this something I've prepared before?
Therefore, Xiao Wanyao was one step ahead of Xue Tianao, and no longer dwelled on the previous things. The mood gradually became cheerful, in fact, she was not a concubine in the harem, she was just as satisfied as she was to simply guard him.
It's just what Xue Tianao thinks in his heart, and when he wants to say it, he will naturally sue himself.
Xue Tianao reviewed and read in the imperial study, there are a lot of things today, before he wanted to take revenge and attack Yan State, he was pressed down by the ministers of the court, making him think twice, and then because of Xiao Wanyao's dissuasion, he did not implement it. This time Xiao Wanyao didn't die, but he let go of this thought.
However, although he let it go, Yan Guo did not let it go, after all, Xiao Wanyao killed Gong Qing, this feud is not only a personal grudge but also a beam between countries. Therefore, Yan has always tried every means to deal with Wei.
This is not Yan Guo looking for an inexplicable reason to invade the border of Wei State. He was worried about this matter, and other ministers had been urging Xue Tianao to recover Jiangnan.
He saw another memora about the recovery of Jiangnan. Others don't know, but he knows very well that Jiangnan was snatched by Xiao Wanyao, although it was managed by Mingyu, but it was Xiao Wanyao who really had real power.
When he saw the third request for the recovery of the land in Jiangnan, he couldn't help but throw it aside, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and had a terrible headache.
The eunuch who was waiting on the side stepped forward to understand the current affairs, "The emperor is tired? It's better to take a break and then review the folds, and it's time to pass on dinner in a while. "Xue Tianao is dying, he has been sitting motionless in the imperial study all day. He's really doing it.
Although Xue Tianao is a halfway prince, and he is not justifiably enthroned as an emperor, but he is an extremely responsible and rigorous emperor.
In the past, Yan Guo tried every means to suppress Wei State, but now he dares to bully Wei State. How could this matter not make Xue Tianao anxious.
After being reminded by the little eunuch beside him, Xue Tianao realized that it had come to this hour, put down the pen and wanted to take a rest, his eyes looked out of the hall, but what appeared was Xiao Wanyao's face, she hadn't seen her all day, I don't know what she was doing, this hour has probably come back from the imperial pharmacy.
Since learning Xiao Wanyao's true identity, he has never revealed this matter to anyone, and he also made Xiao Wanyao swear in front of him that he would never tell anyone, he wanted her to live in the palace as Yanran.
And he also knew that she didn't want to be a concubine in the palace, so let her continue to be her little medicine girl, as long as she was by her side, the rest was just a name. In order not to make others hostile to her, he deliberately distanced himself from her.
He knew that this deliberate alienation was a kind of protection for her, but he didn't know if she would understand it.
Xue Tianao has always felt that every time he is facing Xiao Wanyao, he is always too eager and wants to bind her to his side, so he will make her want to escape more and more. This time he didn't want to do that again, keeping a distance from her, maybe only in this way could he keep her by his side for a long time.
Xue Tianao suppressed his desire to find Xiao Wanyao, had dinner in the imperial study, and then continued to review the folds. The reason why he never attacked Jiangnan was because of Xiao Wanyao. But now that this matter is imminent, it seems that I have to find some time to talk to her about it.
Well, why don't you just do it tonight? Go to her, or come here?
After thinking about it, Xue Tianao finally decided to go to Xiao Wanyao, and the palace maid Qianxiao, who was waiting beside her, heard that she was going to Tingyue Pavilion, so she knew that she was going to find Yanran, and then stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, Miss Yanran is not in Tingyue Pavilion, I heard that a batch of new medicines came to the Imperial Pharmacy, but she was staffed, so she didn't come back at the Imperial Pharmacy at night." ”
"Where are you eating too?" Xue Tianao's brows furrowed.
"Yes." Qianxiao said.
Xue Tianao had no choice but to dispel the idea of going to Zhao Xiao Wanyao, and obediently returned to the imperial study to continue to review his recitals.
Xiao Wanyao was busy in the Imperial Pharmacy, and the busiest people were still her and Doctor Le, and the others who were busy with them were several other people on duty in the Imperial Pharmacy, as well as people sent by the Imperial Hospital in the front yard, because there were a lot of medicinal materials in the palace this time.
Moreover, she also secretly inquired from Doctor Le that the person who paid tribute to this batch of medicinal materials was Shangguan Yunfan. Xiao Wanyao was not surprised at all when he heard this name, he was originally in the official business, so no matter where he was, he would say a few words to the people of the official family.
As Shangguan Yunfan often said, the easiest people to do business in the world are the people in the court.
After finishing the work, it was already on the lights, looking at the sky outside, Xiao Wanyao thought to herself, I don't know what Xue Tianao is doing at this time? Do you remember that you are in the imperial study to review the folds? Or which concubine in the palace is there to keep it warm?
Although Xiao Wanyao decided to stay by Xue Tianao's side, she still couldn't accept the women around him, did the men think that three wives and four concubines were so normal? What man would ever want to marry only one in his life?
And after this period of observation, Xiao Wanyao is very sure that Xue Tianao turned out to be a big pervert. Hmph, no matter what he says about treating other people's women as tools and dolls, in the end he doesn't like to drill into them, which man can really let go of beauty?
Xue Tianao was a pervert, Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and looked at Tianfa Lang outside blankly. I thought indignantly in my heart, if one day I establish a dynasty and I become a queen, I can definitely do one-on-one, and I will definitely not raise male pets in the harem.
I don't know which tendon in my brain is wrong, but when I suddenly thought of this, I suddenly had an idea and smirked.
Chapter 330: Jealousy
yes, why can't I build my own dynasty and be queen myself. When the time comes, isn't it up to you to raise someone in the harem? At that time, the person who will be jealous will be Xue Tianao. At that time, she didn't have to sit here sighing, and then took Xue Tianao away and flew away, only letting him be her own man and belong to herself.
If he dares not to listen, he will be tied up directly. Isn't it up to you then?
She laughed silly again, and that was a good thought. Doctor Le, who was still finishing up on the side, suddenly saw her smirking, and then walked over, and a big face suddenly appeared in front of her, which startled Xiao Wanyao, who was in the fugue, and when she came back to her senses and saw that it was Doctor Le, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Master Le, what are you going to do?" It's scared to death. Can't you just say something? Why do you have to get so close? ”
"Girl, what are you smirking again? Got in heat? The palace maid is not allowed to fornicate in the palace, which is a capital crime. Doctor Le said seriously, in the past few days, I have seen Xiao Wanyao's red face, and I have seen that she is always alone in a daze and laughing for a while, a typical symptom of Sichun.
Xiao Wanyao rolled her eyes, "What is this!" I fornicated with someone. ”
"It's good if you don't have it! You should pay attention, there are many people in the palace. Doctor Le reminded that he had already heard Xiao Wanyao's rumors in the Taihe Palace, and any woman with good looks in this harem might climb to the position of the master in the future. It's just that this Yanran is different from others, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded him like this.
Xiao Wanyao pouted and didn't speak again.
At this time, a little palace maid walked in from outside, looking delicate and lovely, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a faint smile, and shouted directly when she came in, "Doctor Le, I'm here to get medicine!" ”
Doctor Le turned around and saw that it was Qing'er, the personal maid of the Wan nobles of Changchun Palace-Jingping Garden, so he walked over with a smile, "Miss Qing'er, your medicine has already been prepared." Quickly take it to Wan Guiren, or take medicine on time according to the previous house. ”
Qing'er took the medicine, Doctor Chongle smiled, and when he left, he glanced at Xiao Wanyao in the room, although it was only a hurried glance, but Xiao Wanyao was carefully observed from top to bottom, and there was a slight trace of doubt behind the smile.
After she left, Xiao Wanyao asked strangely, "Which palace is this little palace maid Doctor Le?" How come you've never seen it before? ”
"She is Wan Guiren's personal maid, living in Jingping Yuan of Changchun Palace, Wan Guiren entered the palace earlier, but her health has not been very good, and she rarely goes out of the palace to see people, so you don't know them very well. This time, a batch of medicinal herbs was tributed, and it happened that Wan Guiren's medicine was finished, so he came to get some more. Dr. Le said as he was busy with the work in his hands.
Xiao Wanyao nodded lightly, it turned out to be like this, no wonder I had never heard of it before, there was a noble person in this palace. Sure enough, Xue Tianao is also a big pervert, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, there would be so many more beauties in the harem.
It's an excuse to say it's a tool doll, huh......
After the shift change, Xiao Wanyao left the direction of the imperial pharmacy and originally went to the imperial study of Taihe Palace, but halfway through, her pace slowed down, it was getting late at the moment, presumably he had already finished dinner, maybe he went to another palace, maybe he was there with Ji Xiangning now, after all, she was pregnant with his child.
The vinegar came up, Xiao Wanyao snorted angrily in her heart, turned around and went towards the Tingyue Pavilion, and after she went back, she was the only one in the huge courtyard. The other palace maids and eunuchs of Taihe Palace all live behind the side hall, listening to the beautiful scenery of the Moon Pavilion, so they are not here at all.
Suddenly feeling a little lonely, Xiao Wanyao went back to the room, she was too lazy to get food, she lay directly on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and covered her head and fell asleep, she didn't want to do anything when she was in a bad mood.
In the middle of the night, she seemed to have dreamed of something, and felt a burst of heat all over her body, followed by a strong smell of burning. When she opened her eyes, she found that there was a fire around her, and she hurriedly got up and shouted "Fire, fire." ”
How could she hear that she was alone in the Moon Pavilion, seeing that she was surrounded by fire, and the doors and windows outside were on fire, she dragged the quilt and tried to escape while putting out the fire around her.
She didn't cook at night, let alone light a fire, how could she catch fire for no reason? She didn't care about thinking so much in her head, and she wanted to escape as much as she could.
After the palace maid and eunuch outside found out that there was a fire, they hurried to put out the fire, Xue Tianao just took off his clothes and prepared to go to bed, "What happened outside?" "Because his dormitory is not far from the Tingyue Pavilion, he can vaguely see the fire outside.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving outside didn't know what was going on, but Fei Mo hurried over, "The emperor heard that the Moon Pavilion was on fire." ”
Xue Tianao's face turned pale suddenly, the palace maid had already dressed him in half of the clothes, and before he could put on his shoes, he had already rushed out. By the time he got there, the entire Moon Listening Pavilion had been shrouded in flames, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs and palace guards who were fighting the fire.
"What about Yanran? Have you seen Yanran? He asked the people around him, and there was a panic at this time, and no one noticed whether Yanran had come out or not.
I heard an exclamation from somewhere, "Oh no, there's a palace maid trapped inside." ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the call, and sure enough, they saw a palace maid who was fighting the fire was swallowed by the tongue of fire that spewed out, trapped inside and unable to come out. Everyone threw themselves into the water, but to no avail, the fire was already burning, and it was impossible to suppress it for a while.
"It's over, it looks like she won't be able to get out this time." I don't know who said it regretfully.
Xue Tianao frowned and rushed into the sea of fire. Fei Mo was stunned, "The emperor is in danger." But it was too late to stop him, and he had already rushed into the flames.
At this moment, Xiao Wanyao ran out from the other side, her face was dark, "Feimo, why are you still standing here stupidly, hurry up and find someone to put out the fire." ”
Fei Mo looked back and saw that it was Yanran, and was slightly stunned, "You're not dead?" ”
"Do you want me to die? I found out it was on fire and escaped through the window on the other side, so I was fine. Xiao Wanyao explained, she didn't know that Xue Tianao was in the sea of fire now.
Looking at Feimo's stupid appearance, Xiao Wanyao was stunned, "Why are you here?" Does the emperor also know about the fire? ”
"The emperor is here, he just rushed inside to save a palace maid." Fei Mo said.
Xiao Wanyao's eyes widened, "What? So why are you standing here stupidly? Why didn't you stop him? Why don't you save him? Saying that, she was about to rush into the fire, but Fei Mo stopped her hard, "The emperor just asked me to stay here to find you, what if you go in now and wait for him to come out." What the hell is going on with the two of you? Fei Mo shouted and pulled Xiao Wanyao.
"Xue Tianao, Xue Tianao......" Xiao Wanyao kept shouting his name. But the fire grew louder and louder, but no one came out. Her heart sank.
If he died, she didn't want to live either.
Just when she broke free of Feimo's hand and wanted to rush into the fire, she suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the fire with a palace maid in her arms, the clothes on his body had been burned, and after coming out, Xiao Wanyao was the first to rush up, and the other palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly helped him extinguish the fire on his body.
"Xue Tianao, is there something wrong with your brain? For the sake of a palace maid, you even disregard your own life, what if you do anything else? What if I die? Xiao Wanyao cried and shouted.
Xue Tianao was slightly stunned, looking at her panicked appearance, he laughed instead, "Are you so worried about me?" ”
"Of course I'm worried about you, if...... If you can't get out this time, I'll die with you. Xiao Wanyao was serious when she said this, if he really had something, she would definitely not hesitate to follow him.
Xue Tianao handed over the already unconscious palace maid to Fei Mo, "Go find the imperial doctor and show her." ”
Fei Mo hugged the palace maid, and saw that Xue Tianao was fine, so he turned around and hugged the palace maid to the Tai Hospital.
"Xue Tianao, why don't you even want your life for a palace maid?" Xiao Wanyao is still struggling with this question, has he ever thought about himself, what will happen to him if something happens to him? What should we do with the world of Wei? And what about Riel? All of a sudden, my mind was full of grievances and complaints.
"Even if she is just a palace maid, she is my people after all, and it is naturally my duty to save her. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Xue Tianao said calmly.
originally thought that she would understand, but in fact, she was indeed a little impulsive at that time, but she saw that the palace maid was in front of her, although she was surrounded by fire, there was still a glimmer of life, although he was the emperor, but he was not indifferent to the point of not being able to save him.
"You weren't like this before, you used to be always indifferent, but now you're kind to everyone, especially women, you can't wait to give your life to them, you can fight hard for anyone who is not related, I am the only one in the Moon Pavilion, didn't you think about my life or death when you came here?" These words were completely shouted by Xiao Wanyao without going through her brain.
Especially in front of so many people around her, she didn't give him any affection, no matter how wolf he was, he was the emperor after all, and he was saving a palace maid who could be saved. In the eyes of others, Xue Tianao is a good emperor, but when Xiao Wanyao says such things here, it seems that she is the one who is indifferent and ruthless.
"Isn't the life of the palace maid the life? When did you become so cold? You weren't like that before. Xue Tianao stared at Xiao Wanyao incredulously, his face was also a little pale.
Indeed, as Xue Tianao said, she has now become indifferent, indifferent to the life of a person who has nothing to do with her, to the point of outrageousness. She can sacrifice anyone in order to protect herself. She didn't want to be such a person, but after going through so much, she still became the kind of person she disliked the most.
It was a scar in her heart. Once reborn, her heart has already died once.
Xiao Wanyao sneered, "That's right, I'm indifferent and ignore other people's lives. With that, she turned and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Xue Tianao shouted at her back, but she ignored her and left.
Xue Tianao frowned, gritted his teeth, and finally followed. He knew that what he had just said was a bit excessive, that she was saying that because she was too worried about herself, and that he knew that she was angry now, but he didn't know what to say, so he followed her. R1154
