Chapter 2 Sisters 4
As he spoke, he had arrived at the Lingxian Palace, and he was still the side of the road he had taken when he saw her that day, but now he didn't feel anything. The relationship between the two of them has already been revealed, but Concubine Chen still has to be so careful, thinking that she is so calculating, I don't know if she will also calculate herself.
"Little Lord be careful." Qingluan was just about to push the door, but he was protected by Shui Qiao, "The door of this courtyard is in disrepair, and there will always be sand and stones falling between the switches, and the little master is careful about his clothes." ”
She stretched out her hand to push it away, and sure enough, the soil on the eaves fell one after another, and although she stood behind Shui Qiao, she still felt dusty and uncomfortable. After this period passed, Shui Qiao stayed outside the door with interest. Qingluan didn't make a sound, just glanced at her meaningfully. The moment the courtyard door closed, an imperceptible coolness appeared in her eyes.
When I saw Concubine Chen again, she still looked graceful and luxurious. At this time, he raised his chin and squinted at Qingluan, but he was obedient like a cat in front of the Son of Heaven. The original smiling appearance has been a gift from God to her, but she still has a multi-faceted temperament and knows how to meet everywhere.
The moment Qingluan saw her, she suddenly remembered Su E's former advice - working with snakes, you will eventually be hurt by snakes. It's not that the person in front of him doesn't have the intention of putting himself to death, it's just that that day won't come, Qingluan will do his best to protect himself and the people around him.
"The Hunan nobles let the palace wait."
"The concubine is late, please don't blame the mother." She still looked the same as usual, and did so.
Concubine Chen pointed her fingertips and motioned for the woman to sit down and speak. As soon as a maid watched the tea, she smiled at Qingluan and said: "The queen thought that she had arrested you this time, but there was such a farce, presumably she hated you." ”
Qingluan naturally knew what she was referring to, but she only did nothing, and said lightly: "It's all thanks to the protection of the mother." ”
"The things that this palace has done are not enough, but Concubine Xian has really helped you a lot." She raised her eyes and smiled, but her face was like a flower, but it made people feel extremely cold. "So this palace thinks that I want to thank Concubine Xian for you."
Qingluan's hand holding the tea trembled for no reason, and he almost poured out the tea soup. Concubine Xian was pregnant for May, and the risk period has long passed, but natural disasters are no better than man-made disasters, Xing Yan has been deliberate for a long time, and it seems that she is finally going to start today.
Thinking like this, she didn't dare to show a trace of panic on her face, but said tentatively: "Niangniang, after all, Concubine Xian is pregnant with her first child today......
"Hongu is naturally clear. It is precisely because of this that there are people who are more anxious to kill this child than Hongu. Concubine Chen's face changed suddenly, and when the porcelain cup in her hand touched the armor cover, she made an unusually piercing and sharp sound. Hongu just wants to fulfill that person, you know? ”
Qingluan raised her head suddenly, and looked at Concubine Chen's eyes without feeling cautious. "Do you want to give this baby to the queen?"
"She is close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon, and she will show her original form early."
"But the queen would never act so recklessly." Even though she said this, Qingluan also understood in her heart - in terms of Xing Yan's city government, how could she not expect this. But I'm afraid that what she planned was not the queen's stupidity, but the blame.
After all, this is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"You're wrong, Hunan nobleman. Not only will the queen do this, but she will do everything she can to do it as soon as possible. Hongu has lived with her for so many years, and he already knows her well. Seeing that Qingluan still had a sense of vigilance in her eyes, Concubine Chen chuckled instead: "In this way, this palace promises you that you will never hurt the fetus in Concubine Xian's womb." As soon as we find out that the queen is harmful, we will act immediately. If she wants to be that praying mantis, this palace will be a yellow finch, which is good. ”
The matter has come to this point, and Qingluan can no longer tolerate the slightest hesitation. Any hesitation on her part could lead to death. Since Concubine Chen has decided on one thing, she will not give up. Only by being thorough can we make everything develop in the most ideal direction.
"If the queen is not removed, what will happen if you are pregnant with a dragonborn when there is a prince in this palace. Hunan nobles, which is more important, you have to distinguish clearly. ”
She finally gave up. "What does Niangniang want her concubine to do?"
When Concubine Chen saw her agree, there was a smile in her eyes. That smile is just like a peach in March, and the beauty is not endless. "Sister, you don't need to worry too much, just wait for the palace to propose to the emperor, and your support will be enough." She leaned back slightly on the goose down jade pillow, her eyes flowed, and there was only a charming color between her eyebrows, "Sister's words, the emperor will definitely listen." ”
Qingluan got up, her face faintly uneasy. "The concubine will do her best, but please also ask the mother to remember what is promised."
She didn't need to look up at Xing Yan, she knew that the woman must be hating in her heart at this moment. I am afraid that the difficulty of this game is beyond my control. It is necessary to pay attention to the queen's movements, and to carefully protect the concubine's child. And even if the East Window incident really happened, Concubine Chen was an outsider from beginning to end. If she finds out that she has two hearts, this fire may soon burn against her due to the change in the direction of the wind.
After all, she is just a nobleman, an insignificant person.
"My sister just has to rest assured to do things, if you want to be vigilant everywhere, I'm afraid you will lose everything."
Qingluan was shocked in his heart, but he didn't reveal anything. only responded: "The concubine is not a person who can distinguish between me and me, not to mention that I and my mother are in the same boat." ”
"That's very good." Xing Yan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Then my sister will go back and wait for good news, the palace is not strong." ”
Bowed and retired, but as soon as he went out, he saw Shui Qiao looking into the garden. Her mind was tight, and she only said that this Xining Palace was impossible to go for the time being, and she needed to find a way to get rid of her. Thinking like this, his face involuntarily showed tiredness, and he lazily put a hand on the woman's outstretched arm, and ordered, "Let's go back today." ”
I was silent all the way.
Qingluan secretly sighed, now with Shui Qiao, even a cup of tea is a kind of torment. She looked at Shui Qiao's straightforward eyes from beginning to end, and she never imagined that she would do her best behind her back, step by step. Qingluan is really afraid that one day he will not be able to hold back, so he will question him face to face.
When will such days be counted.
And when Qingluan was busy rescuing Su and E for two days, she heard that Yuchen took the initiative to ask Ying to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to quell the rebels. These have never been truly cut off since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and the Emperor has never sent his siblings to deal with these unfashionable roles.
If it is stable today, Yuchen is asking for war at this time, obviously it is not a serious problem, I am afraid it is because of himself. The relationship between the two of them was already very awkward, and if Yuchen still stayed in the palace, it was inevitable that such things would not happen again. Leaving Beijing this time, he is also for the sake of not being angry.
He left, but he didn't know when he would return. Qingluan also knew that he had to stop in the harem during this time. At the moment, there are more important things, one by one, which are pressed on her heart, and she can't afford to hesitate.
"The little lord is back." As soon as he entered the Liuyue Pavilion, he saw Su E standing under the peach tree to greet him. Qingluan felt sorry for her old illness, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was a little displeased: "It's not for you to recuperate with peace of mind, why did you come out again." ”
"Where can the slave and maid be idle, it is also a coincidence, the palace has just sent some things, the little master and go into the house to take a look." She said as she helped Qingluan, but she secretly added some strength to her wrist. As soon as Qingluan raised her eyes, she saw that her brows were frowning slightly, and she already knew it in her heart. He only turned around and told himself to take a nap and not to be disturbed by others.
When the bead curtain was opened, there was still a person standing inside, looking hesitant - it was Bai Yu, who had not seen a human figure before. When she saw Qingluan coming back, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Su E glanced at her but didn't say anything, just stroked Qingluan and sat down, and opened the teacup with one hand to present it to the woman. Seeing that there was no one outside the courtyard, Fang lowered his voice and said, "Little master, do you know who Bai Yu met today." ”
The study facing north and south was dim even at ten o'clock in the middle of the day, and there was no light.
Someone was sitting in the dark, the faint parchment in front of him emitting a little ink. The vast mountains and rivers outlined by the wolf's hair are showing how rich this world is. The bloated man got up and lit the only candle on the desk that was about to burn out, the flickering light shining on his lifeless face—a face full of greed and lust.
Although it is a study, there is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone at all, and instead there are rows of obsolete weapons of various forms behind him. He was about to sit back in front of the desk, when he suddenly saw a silver light coming through the window.
The man's eyes froze, his whole body spun like a huge spinning top, and the broken arrow grazed a layer of black purple official robes and nailed them into the wall, and the moment of electric petrification, there was no sound.
Even so, the door was slammed open by a well-trained dead soldier, and a young guard dressed in armor entered with a sword, exclaiming, "King Zhuang Xian! ”
The three emperor uncles of the current saint, the man known as King Zhuang Xian, waved his hand and quickly took down the note that the short arrow nailed through - Luohe is not good, Zhidao is guarded. is a short eight words, but it breaks through the layout of the imperial court's troops. King Zhuang Xian looked up to the sky and smiled, and the note instantly burned to ashes under the flames.
"Duo Sang, tell our people to change the mountain road to Zhidao, and be sure to bypass the waterway."
"But...... "is it too rash to believe the man on the basis of this note?" said the waiter, with a look of hesitation. ”
"Imprudent?" King Zhuang Xian suddenly stopped laughing, and his deafening voice actually brought out a murderous aura, "If this king says that there is a traitor in Long Yi's black son." ”
Duo Sang's eyes were shocked, standing in front of King Zhuang Xian, he couldn't answer a word, and it took a long time to ease his pale face, and he bowed his head and replied heavily: "My subordinates obey orders!" ”
The candle suddenly went out, and the study was once again in total darkness. The sharp weapon on the wall glowed with a subtle silver light, and when it was put into the eyes of King Zhuang Xian, it seemed to have disappeared into the netherworld, and there was no trace in an instant.
