Chapter 2 Murder with a Knife 1
Halfway through the feast, Qingluan withdrew early due to physical discomfort. Because he walked back to the palace, it was already past a moment when he arrived at the Lingxi Hall.
Bai Yu was spreading out the mattress in the house, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw her enter the house: "The little master came back so early. ”
"I did everything I had to do, and it was just sad to stay." She looked a little tired, and only waved her hand to send Bai Yu away, leaving Su E to serve tea on the side. However, after only a few sips, her heart became inexplicably irritable, and this restlessness made her heart flustered, as if an invisible hand was reaching into her internal organs and stirring it muddy, making her uneasy.
Su E saw that her face was not good, and persuaded softly: "The little lord is proud of everything today, even if there are Xianggui concubines and others who are in trouble, there will be no danger after all, why be so depressed." ”
"You should know that it's not Xiang Guifei and others who are upset." Qingluan played with the porcelain cup in his hand, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, "The emperor is so important to Yuchen, I am afraid of allowing him such a feast." ”
The meaning of what he said was self-evident, Su E took the porcelain cup that was spinning so much that he wanted to leave the small case with both hands, and said calmly: "The prince is the emperor's sibling, and regardless of the prince's quiet temperament, he does not admire fame. Even now, there is still a hussar general, and the name of the master of high merit cannot fall on the prince. ”
She said it so clearly, Qingluan was finally relieved. However, after all, I was worried and couldn't sleep. She lowered her eyelids, and her voice was weak: "It's just as you said." ”
That night, she didn't sleep well. As soon as the night was over, she noticed a slight movement outside the door. got up and asked, but it was Bai Yu who pushed the door in, and his face was a little embarrassed: "Back to the little master, it is the girl Ayaluo from the Chongshui Palace who has missed the night to ask to see." ”
As soon as she heard the word "palace", she felt that her drowsy brain suddenly woke up, and she immediately got up and put on her clothes: "You are even outside the door for such an important matter." ”
The wind was cold in the middle of the night, and because he got up in a hurry, Qingluan only felt a cool breeze on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver. After a layer of curtains, I saw that under the not-so-bright lights of the cabinet, there was a faint figure in a dark green wind robe. The man heard movement inside the curtain and knelt down. Qingluan looked out the window at the dark night, a heart seemed to be hanging high in the air, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the bedroom, he said, "Get up and speak." ”
However, as soon as the woman looked up, she was shocked that Qingluan stopped her figure - the thick brim of her hat covered her face soaked in tears, who was not Zhusui.
Presumably Su E was also awakened, and was coming in through the curtain outside the house, and happened to bump into this scene, even if she was as steady as her, she couldn't help blurting out: "Bamboo Spike? Shouldn't the girl be serving the emperor at this time? ”
Hearing her question, Zhusui only raised her pale face and said slowly: "My mother is afraid of falling into her mouth, so she asks the slave maid to pretend to be Aunt Ayaluo and ask to see the little master." The little master is kind-hearted, and he has the right to be a pitiful slave. ”
Qingluan became more and more chilled when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to help her up, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and then said, "You just say it." ”
"When the emperor arrived at the Chongshui Palace, the noble concubine Niangniang intended to keep slaves and maids to serve the emperor. It's just that the slave maid has a humble status, and she must bathe in incense before she can enter the temple. I didn't know that the slave and maid finished changing, but I saw that Wanxin was half hugging and half leaning on the emperor's arms, and the emperor saw the slave and maid and just said lightly that she didn't need to serve tonight. After Zhu Sui finished speaking, he was ashamed and annoyed, and a pool of tears rolled in his eyes, but he couldn't bear to fall.
Qingluan's face was already as gloomy as ink, she slapped her palm on the Zimu square table, and sneered: "Such a powerful fox, she dares to do this in front of her own master." ”
"The little master is careful that his hands hurt." Su E hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but as soon as the words changed, he said with resentment, "That hoof is so thick that it doesn't know the height of the sky, you can't blame the little master's subordinates for being ruthless." It's just that I want to wronged Miss Zhusui. ”
"I was thinking of leaving her a way to live, but it doesn't seem necessary." The moonlight reflected Qingluan's watery eyes, and the faint refraction of the cold light seemed to be thinner and cooler than the night. She gently comforted Zhusui, but as soon as the woman left, she tossed and turned. Although he has a perfect plan in his heart, he is not as cowardly as Ning Guifei in his personality, so it seems that he is not favored by Yu Hao, and even if he becomes a serious little master in the future, where will he have a foothold.
However, after thinking about it, she may not be able to become a big climate, but as long as the daughter of the Su Duo clan is still living in a corner of the palace, it will inevitably make the queen uneasy. Qin Suyue, who was in a panic, how could she have the spare strength to control the harem, let alone firmly grasp the heart of the Son of Heaven.
Qingluan looked sideways at a round of silver plates outside the window, the moonlight was like water, which should have been a very beautiful scene. But the human heart is ugly, and such a holy beauty only makes the person look more ugly.
If people don't offend her, she won't offend anyone. It's just that more often than not, the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.
Two days later, at noon, something happened in the palace that should not be underestimated.
When I had lunch that day, the small kitchen made a few new snacks, and Qingluan took people to the imperial study to say goodbye. I heard that Yu Hao has been busy for several days, and he has just regained lost ground, and there are still too many public relations documents waiting for him to read them one by one. Dong Bi said that he often returned the food in the imperial dining room without moving, and the person in charge of the kitchen was punished for this.
When Qingluan arrived, Yu Hao was still bowing his head, and when he heard the movement, he just didn't raise his head and said, "Go out." ”
Qingluan rarely saw him so impatient, although he knew that he was not targeting himself, he still couldn't help but be stunned. I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just bowed and said, "Yes, the concubine will retire first." ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he stopped the wolf in his hand, raised his head and beckoned to Qingluan slightly apologetically: "Why are you." Come to me. ”
Qingluan stepped forward slowly, and saw that the cold food on the dragon case was still untouched, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "If the concubine knows that the emperor doesn't care for her body like this, even if she doesn't hesitate to offend her anger, she will persuade her." ”
"I'm mad at you." His expression softened instantly, and he smiled as generously as ever. In front of Qingluan, this king always seems to be happy, "When I see you, I don't feel tired." ”
When the woman heard this, she turned around and took the brocade box, and took out several plates of delicate side dishes such as phoenix feet, cold tofu, and white brocade meat in turn. Although Yu Hao had no appetite for a while, now that he was relaxed, he couldn't help but feel empty in his stomach. Qingluan saw that he ate it with relish, so he smiled and stood in front of the case to grind it carefully for him.
The ink stone used by Yuhao is taken from the rosin of Shanghao, and there must not be a trace of debris mixed into it when making ink. Burn the pine smoke and rest the cold, and take the smoke from the end of the first or two sections. Therefore, the ink is like black jade, and with his vigorous handwriting, it gives people a sense of majesty for no reason.
