Chapter 236: The King's Men
The place was near, but my heart was up and down, and my palms were almost sweating.
You must know that no amount of reasons and excuses for yourself in advance is actually of much use.
How the patrol team searched and how to take the route were all set by He Yanzhi, and by the way, it depends on the execution of those people.
No matter how well I think about it, I have to speak with facts.
Seeing that my pace was slowing down, Tianfang immediately guessed what I was thinking, he stopped, habitually patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't you believe in Senior Brother?" ”
The confidence in his words made my nervous mood relax a lot in an instant.
Indeed, having a strong umbrella is much better than it is for me to go it alone.
I made up my mind and followed Tianfang through the forest and set foot in the southwest of the Sealand Palace.
Unexpectedly, at first glance, the scenery here is different from Penglai Pavilion and Lin De Palace, but there is a kind of Jiangnan people's bright and elegant style.
The lake in the palace was scattered in several places, and I was standing on the bank of an embankment planted with weeping willows.
Looking at the past from afar, the scattered courtyards are scattered.
I didn't see any palace maids or attendants on the road, and the embankment was too quiet.
In fact, from the moment I heard the conversation between the two girls at the palace gate, my impression of these neglected beauties living in the southwest corner of the Sealand Palace was that they were all happy.
I know that women in Sealand are strong, but look at the few people in the palace, such as Xiaosi, such as He Yanzhi, they also have their own backbones.
After all, the difference between men and women exists, even if there are more feminine men who are elected to the palace. According to the empress's preference, there must also be more masculine.
These people's hobbies are not only food, clothes. In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there may be people who like to dance and play with swords.
The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, put yourself in the position of the empress, I would not let only similar types of men gather in the palace if I replaced her.
I was in a trance, and suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Yun Chu before, when Sealand was just a legend, mentioning the empress. When it comes to her harem, I'm curious and interested.
provoked Yun Chu's displeasure, and the conversation about the empress was still in his ears.
Stand there. I thought about it for a while, so I didn't expect to meet those weak beauties here, I think there should be other types as well.
Besides, besides them, there are also the palace people under them. I couldn't even see a shadow. It's weird!
"The empress's beauties don't like to go out?" I asked Tianfang, "They rarely wait for her to come, and the weather is good today, shouldn't they meet people outside at this hour?" ”
"Not necessarily," Tianfang shook his head, "Look there, there are paths connecting the courtyards, and there is a lake view near the water." If they were to move around, they would probably be concentrated in that area. ”
Tianfang is as good as a stream: "You have to go over and take a look." ”
"Maybe there's some doorway in it." Tianfang frowned.
I was stunned.
"What about the Patrol? By your judgment, senior brother? "I hesitated. Asked as he looked sideways.
Tianfang and I met my gaze, and for a moment I couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but I felt that the way he looked at me was meaningful.
"Xiao Ling'er, don't you have confidence in the idea you have come up with?" Tianfang turned his head slightly and smiled, "I sound very reasonable, and I was persuaded by you." ”
"You said that the focus of today's patrol team will definitely not be in the remote southwest corner," Tianfang looked at me quietly, and there were no waves in his eyes at the moment, "If you want to leave the Lin De Palace, the first reaction of the emperor and the emperor is also related to the flower garden or the Penglai Pavilion." ”
"I just said the truth, and I sound reasonable," he looked at me again and whispered, "So I came with you, why did you drop the chain again?" ”
I glanced at Tianfang speechlessly, where was he persuaded by me?!
He had made up his mind and expected my calculations, in other words, he was in complete control of my movements in the Sealand Palace.
This man is so shrewd in his calculations, and at this time he actually said that I persuaded him? Is
What is there to excuse!
I knew there was something awkward in his tone, but I didn't bother to guess the reason for his awkwardness.
I said angrily: "Yes, I'm pretty sure, my vision has always been accurate, can I just ask?" ”
Tianfang looked at me and smiled, I said the boastful words just now, I said a little weakly.
"Where did the patrol search the southwest so quickly, it would definitely wander in the few places I said, as well as the palace gate."
Speaking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in my heart, and I looked at the sky and said, "Senior brother, are you preparing for the end of the palace banquet, will you take me out with you when the troupe leaves the palace?" ”
Tianfang nodded at me and said, "Yes." ”
"How?" Anyway, I've seen the guards at the palace gate search.
When the troupe entered the palace, there were a lot of household items, such as costumes, props, etc., which were all loaded with carriages to be sent in.
But because it was a carriage coming and going, the guards at the palace gate were very careful when they checked them, and they were almost told to take off their clothes and inspect them.
Last time, in order to leave the palace, I asked Qingzhi for a lot of experience, and she told me all about it one by one.
Among the examples she mentioned, there were many cases of being intercepted at the palace gate, and I asked her for details, and I always felt that the more detailed I knew, the more I could avoid risks.
The guards at the gate of the palace are screened, and the carriage is the most important, and the search is called a careful one.
Tianfang wants to take me out, why? I couldn't throw out the sign He Yanzhi gave me.
Thinking of this, I still feel a little sorry in my heart, you must know that the sign issued by the emperor and the emperor is not a few in the entire Sealand Palace.
If I really sit on my identity, a little palace maid who works hard in the Sealand Palace, I am afraid that I will have to wake up laughing from my dreams for such a great gift!
The brand representing privilege has only been used once from beginning to end, and it is a tyrannical thing!
The troupe followed by Tianfang was also invited to hold palace banquets in the Sealand Palace in the past.
There are not many items that can be entertained in this dynasty. Listening to drama is one of the most important ones.
Ordinary people listened to some of the grass platform groups walking around in teahouses and the like, and I once saw the enthusiasm of the people in the bustle of the capital market.
The royal nobles are much more magnificent, and they often order the entire troupe to enter the palace or enter their own mansion to sing. But the number of people in the troupe is reported.
Thinking of the twists and turns in the Lin De Hall before, the senior brother said that he didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of others, could he plan to leave a person from the troupe in the palace and not be able to leave, and then ask me to change my face and go up?
The more I thought about it, the more likely it became, and I couldn't help but tell him about my concerns.
Tianfang lowered his voice and said casually: "Xiao Ling'er, even if this is the case, are you going to stop it?" ”
I couldn't help but look at him. muttered: "Senior brother, brother Tianfang!" “
I shouted at him several times in succession: "If you can't do this, try not to!" I don't want to take another innocent life. It's just to enter the palace to sing a play, and you can't ruin other people's lives for your own convenience. "Little junior sister, if the master is here, he will talk about you. Sometimes I think you're too soft-hearted. Those who achieve great things are not informal. "Tianfang stared at me with a straight look in his eyes.
I don't want to go into this topic, and I have a hunch that if we continue to talk about it, we will break up.
He and I still have a disagreement!
Cheering up, I decided to put aside this unpleasant topic for the time being, and I said to the sky: "Senior brother, this matter will be discussed later, you look at the scattered courtyards, which way is it more appropriate for us to go?" “
The words were thrown to him, and my mind also began to recall the road signs made on the map of the palace that I had seen.
I'm going to pick a direction. In case the patrol arrives, there are also small paths to avoid. Don't hit head-on.
I believe that this is also the choice of those palace people who live in the southwest corner, and when they hear the news that the patrol is going to search this place, they will definitely choose a small road to avoid it.
That is to say, this wave of people will think exactly the same as me, and the probability that I will meet them is much greater.
After all, now Tianfang and I are dressed up to blend in with them, and everyone is the same.
Tianfang met my gaze and said with a sly smile: "You have an idea in mind. “
This trick again, this time when I entered the palace and met again, he seemed to have put the dominance of our work together in my hands.
What does this mean? Are you training me?
I made up my mind and made a decision to walk a little way to the lake's causeway, then detour to the side of a courtyard.
Walking on the forest path, I saw the courtyard wall under the shade of green trees, and I heard footsteps on the path in the distance.
Nervous and a little excited, I waved to the sky.
The senior brother was extremely fast, and he stepped forward in a few steps and grabbed my arm and flew up to the courtyard wall.
Landing on the wall, I realized that I had picked a good position, and from our hidden angle, I could not only see the movement of people in the courtyard, but also the people walking on the path in the distance.
I gave a thumbs-up to Tianfang sideways, causing him to look at me silently and smile.
Coming from afar were two palace maids, who looked ordinary, and I looked at them for a while, and I was not very interested in them.
On the contrary, it was the people in the courtyard, and when I looked at it, I was fascinated
Jiangnan garden-style building, a delicate fountain in the courtyard, and a few green bamboos planted next to it.
Bamboo should become a forest, and it is elegant, but this piece is also quite interesting to look at.
In a small pavilion by the bamboo, there are tables and chairs made of white stone, two people, one standing by the pond to feed the fish, and the other is sitting on a chair to watch his movements.
The looks of both of them are facing away from me, which is not real, but the backs are undoubtedly delicate and upright.
The clothes they wore were not as expensive as the gold in the Lin De Palace, but they were also in the crowd and could be recognized at a glance that it was not the palace attendants, but the empress's man.
Tianfang made a silent gesture at me, and looked at them with some inquiry.
The two are dressed similarly, but if you listen to their conversation, you can tell that their personalities are completely different.
The man sitting said eagerly: "Why do you still have the heart to feed the fish at this time, Your Majesty is going to hold a palace banquet, this is a rare opportunity for us to come out." “
He chattered several times, and the one who fed the fish slowly turned around, and said with a smile on Qingjun's face: "Is it useful to be in a hurry?" "I won't tell you anything else, Your Majesty is about to go north, if you can take this opportunity to get attention, maybe you can be taken with you."
The one sitting listed for a while, then thought about it and said, "As long as you go to the Northland with you, you will definitely be promoted when you come back." "How long can you survive living in this hellish place," he took a light breath and said slowly, "No matter how lucky you are, you just die of old age in the palace." "You are so willing, living under people like He Yanzhi, and there are sick seedlings like Su Hyun."
The man sitting there said angrily: "In terms of intelligence and character, where are we missing?!" “
I hid against the wall, and it took a lot of effort to keep myself from laughing.
This scene is too familiar, among the palace fighting dramas I watched before the crossing, which one does not have a similar scene, but it is played alive in front of me, the protagonists are still two men, the sky is clear, but I seem to faintly hear thunder.
Tianfang noticed my affection, and gestured to me with a stiff face, and I made a gesture in response.
I smiled from the bottom of my heart, but I still couldn't reveal my identity, and I delayed important things. "Have you forgotten the year before last? How did Su Hyun humiliate me at that time? “
My eyes widened, and even my ears were closer in that direction, what a humiliation, my curiosity was aroused.
I'm curious, what's the swelling to do?!
Tianfang frowned and looked at me without moving.
The man's anger fell, and I could hear a general meaning.
At that time, a banquet was also held in the palace, and the empress was rarely in a good mood to drink with them, and these beauties who lived in the southwest corner saw His Majesty very few times.
At that time, this angry man happened to win the favor of the empress with a piano song, and when he was about to brew something, the noble monarch Su Hyun, who was unable to attend the banquet due to illness, suddenly sent news that his condition had worsened.
Impartiality, at this time, so he came back depressed, and nothing happened.
In his opinion, Su Hyun didn't do anything after that, he didn't appear by the empress's side every other day, he completely put his eyes and ears on the banquet, and he couldn't see the benefits fall on his head, so he deliberately made a hindrance!
I understand it, and Tianfang understands it!
The expression of the man feeding the fish by the pond changed several times, and finally said helplessly: "It's just a coincidence, you have held a grudge for so long."
After a while, the man by the pool said in a solemn tone: "This palace banquet is for His Majesty to go north to practice, you must not plan something that should not be planned, when the time comes, the gods will not be able to save you." “
The man sitting in the pavilion stood up quickly when he heard this, walked straight to the edge of the pool, grabbed the corner of the man standing by the pool, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think that everyone is as cowardly as you!" "Fake Qing Gao is really cowardly!"
Annoyed to the extreme, the man turned around angrily and said, "You slowly feed your fish here, just feed the fish for a lifetime!" “
After that, if he really brushed his sleeves away, I could feel his anger from afar. (To be continued......)
