Chapter 3: Behind Prison 4
At this time, Concubine Xian, who had not yet rested, had ushered in the second uninvited guest in the morning.
When Yishuang went to open the door, she was startled by the person in front of her—the man who walked like the wind and had picturesque eyebrows obviously came straight here after the morning morning. The black official uniform is decorated with the Xiangyun Python totem, which is different from the white clothes of the past, but reveals an indescribable royal domineering. The resolute jaw of a knife was slightly raised, and the huge aura exuded by the man in the backlight seemed to be natural, which made everyone present stunned.
"Slave maid...... I've seen the prince! ”
"What kind of wind is blowing such a distinguished guest today?" Concubine Xian put down the teacup and looked at the man with a light smile. Immediately, a small servant came to the pear blossom wooden chair, and at the same time presented new tea and fruit snacks.
This prince, who is also in charge of half of the country, is obviously a figure that cannot be underestimated. He rarely appears in the harem on weekdays, let alone has any interaction with the emperor's concubines. Even if it is rumored that he is handsome and extraordinary, he does not seem to have grown up in the world, and it is difficult for many concubines and palace maids to risk disapproval to see him. It was a surprise that he was willing to pay a visit in person today.
"Mother's courteous."
Since she is a concubine who is already pregnant with a dragon fetus, she should respect three points in terms of etiquette. Yuchen clasped his hands in front of his chest, but he didn't mean to sit down at all. "This king has always been a wise man who does not speak secret words, and he came here today to ask for something." Seeing that Concubine Xian didn't interrupt, he stepped forward, his eyes faintly revealing anxiety. "I just heard that a palace maid who delivered medicine is suspected of harming her mother, and the emperor is worried about state affairs, so this king wants to take her away for personal interrogation."
"The news of the prince is really well-informed. It is worthy of being the person who is in charge of the important affairs of the military aircraft and commands the six departments. Concubine Xian looked around, and she had a plan in her heart, but she didn't take the man's words.
"Mother's praise. It's just that the king heard that Concubine Xian has always been famous for her virtues in the harem, and the people also want to serve such a master. Now that the palace maid has been wronged, the mother also hopes to investigate clearly before dealing with it. ”
Concubine Xian's eyes were slightly surprised when she heard this, and she only said, "Dare to ask who the woman named Qingluan is the prince, and the prince is so concerned?" ”
"Friends only."
"Friends?" Concubine Xian repeated a sentence without being salty, her expression was as quiet as a pool of still water under the winter sun, and thousands of thoughts were in a pair of watery eyes.
Her calmness set off a storm in Yuchen's heart—murdering the dragon species was an unforgivable capital crime, not to mention that the first child, the imperial brother, regarded him as a treasure in his palm. Even if Concubine Xian is sympathetic to her subordinates, the protection of her own flesh and blood may not make her slack off.
In other words, if you kill a thousand by mistake, you can't miss the only one.
"Isn't Niangniang going to give this king this face?" The more Concubine Xian was like this, the more anxious he became. As soon as the conversation turned, hostility suddenly appeared.
"If this palace must be thoroughly investigated in person."
The man's face sank, and he was already very displeased: "I'm afraid that Niangniang won't be happy to see the consequences of this." ”
"Lord Wang!" Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian suddenly got up, with a smile on her face, "Even if the prince is the pillar of this court, my Xining Palace is not a place where anyone can come and leave when they say they say." Now the prince's nephew was almost killed, but you trespassed into the harem and came to this Xingshi to ask for the guilt, so how can this palace give this face? Could it be that all kinds of mistakes before this palace can't be done? ”
Even a gentle and virtuous woman will have her own bottom line. Besides, Yuchen knew that it was unreasonable for him to break in abruptly this time, and most of his previous sharpness had been defeated.
He was about to speak, but was stopped by Concubine Xian's words. "If the prince is really well-informed, how can he not know that Qingluan has already returned, and he is probably already waiting for the queen in Chaofeng Palace at this time."
The evil aura of the man in front of the meeting dissipated instantly, and Concubine Xian sighed heavily, and her eyebrows gradually softened. "This palace knows that Qingluan is a good girl, and when something like this happens, she was framed. The main palace has sent someone to investigate secretly. Regarding this matter, please don't interfere with the prince, otherwise it will inevitably affect her if it makes a big fuss. ”
"Niangniang is magnanimous, it's rude for this king."
Knowing that Qingluan was fine, his heart seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of boulders. Yuchen got up and dismissed, and felt that what he had done before was really inappropriate, so he turned around and said: "If Niangniang has something to do in the future, I will help you when I make up my mind, and I will ask Haihan to offend before committing it." ”
"Lord Wang, please slow down." Concubine Xian gently pushed away the maid who was supporting her, staggered to the man's side, and whispered in her ear, "I also hope that the prince can see the gap between the two of you, Qingluan was selected as the stamen this time, and you also know it." This palace really doesn't want to see you and the emperor's brothers ...... one day."
"I'm too worried." As if he was suddenly grabbed by something, Yuchen only felt a kind of boredom blocking his breathing, "This king and her are not what you think. ”
So much best.
Concubine Xian said silently in her heart, but he had already gone away. walked in a hurry, but it just exposed his helplessness. The woman sighed softly, no one could have predicted what would happen in the future, and as the emperor's concubine, she had to do her best. Even if there is an earth-shattering situation in the future, as long as the present is well, it is enough.
She slowly turned around, drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and instructed the personal maid: "Yishuang, this palace is tired." If there are any more visitors today, none of them will be seen. ”
The snow is still falling outside the window, and this year's winter seems to be exceptionally cold. The fire in the house was burning so brightly that it crackled from time to time, as if something had been burned. But the woman still seemed to feel that it was not enough, and scooped spoonful after spoonful of water into the coals.
In just half a day, three things were too many blows for her. The body at the moment can't feel the warmth of the house at all, even if she herself feels that the survival harem is too fragile, but she still can't cheer up.
She wanted to see her minister, and she had never wanted to see him like this.
How to face a king who rules the world with a heart that loves others? Even if Qingluan knew that he wanted to get out of the way while he was still not deep, and return to the time when nothing happened. But for some reason, she involuntarily got up and walked towards the familiar winding path. Qingluan convinced herself that everything would end. All she had to do was see her from afar, from afar.
However, until I walked to the center of the Imperial Garden, I didn't see half of the man's shadow, and then I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen Zichen for many days. No wonder, these days there is always something missing in my heart. The man who could smile softly disappeared as if out of thin air, and there was no longer his curling flute and breath in the sky above the Great Wei Dynasty.
"You're coming."
