Chapter 245: The Incident
Zhou Sinian and I looked at each other, and the two internal guards behind Gonggong Xia stood beside us humbly but firmly, making a "please" gesture. There were four more outside www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, raising the knives with scabbards to block the Zhou Mansion guards who came with us. It caused a voice of indignation from the guards of the Zhou Mansion, no one dared to make a mistake, neither side drew their swords, and only the sound of the sheathed knives colliding together could not be heard.
My legs were only trembling, my heart was pounding, the sweat in my palms made the handkerchief wet, I couldn't help but get close to Zhou Sinian, pulled his sleeves, and my hands couldn't help but tremble.
Zhou Tong stopped everyone's riot and looked at Zhou Sinian. Gonggong Xia also turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "The emperor summoned him, why is Guogong so nervous?" Look scared the princess. Zhou Sinian waved his hand to Zhou Tong, "Go down!" Stretching out his hand to support me, the Zhou Mansion had no choice but to watch us, followed the graceful figure of Grandpa Xia, walked out of the front hall, and a carved sandalwood carriage was parked outside, Grandpa Xia personally opened the curtain and bowed down to make a "please" gesture.
The guards of the Zhou Mansion watched from afar, they didn't know what was happening, but with their keen sense of danger, they felt that something bad had happened, they wouldn't care about the emperor, Zhou Sinian was their day. Now that Gonggong Xia is very polite, the carriage that picks up people is also very in line with Zhou Sinian's identity, and the city lord resolutely stopped their recklessness...... And they all put their swords and spears into their sheaths, and stood solemnly as we departed.
The wide seats in the carriage were covered with thick fur cushions, and there were burning warm cages around them. As soon as we got into the carriage, the thick fur curtains were lowered, and we could hear six guards outside getting on their horses, three left and three right, following our carriage. It can be said that they are guards, or they can be said to be escorts.
Looking at the furnishings in the carriage, I felt that there was a kind of careful consideration in it, and there was no tension just now, so I was not nervous, and leaned next to Zhou Sinian's ear and asked, "Could it be that the emperor found something?" ”
Zhou Sinian sighed and patted the cushion of the carriage in annoyance. I've never seen it before.
We were led into Da'an Palace and taken directly to a dormitory. This is a very small dormitory, the faint fragrance of sandalwood fills the room, the hollow carved windows shine in speckled sunlight, the guqin stands in the corner, the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dresser, and the room is so fresh and leisurely. The little maid in the dormitory saw us entering, squatted down, and left.
Yun Xiao was covered with a brocade quilt, lying on a carved wooden bed, on which was hung with a taco-colored gauze tent, and the breeze that penetrated through the window lattice blew the gauze tent, hazy. We hurriedly walked over, opened the gauze tent, Zhou Sinian tried Yun Xiao's forehead, but it had not yet begun to heat up. But Yun Xiao fell asleep grogily.
Zhou Sinian's nervous lips trembled slightly, my tears were about to flow out, and he called softly and anxiously: "Yun Xiao!" Yunxiao! But Yun Xiao didn't react in the slightest. Zhou Sinian was just about to cut Yun Xiao's pulse when he heard a voice that was not angry and arrogant and said, "No need, he was just ordered to sleep." Si Nian, you shouldn't even be able to see this with your medical skills. ”
Li Chaozong slowly turned out from behind the screen embroidered with a rich peony picture on the other side, he was dressed in a purple jade light robe and casual clothes, he didn't even tie his belt, his hair was combed in a mess, his hair was pinned with a purple jade hairpin, and in his hand, he was holding a hollow silver plate. Looks like it's empty.
Hearing him say that Yun Xiao was just pointed, Zhou Sinian's frowning brows were slightly relieved. We hurriedly walked down the steps and knelt down to salute Li Chaozong. Li Chaozong still walked over unhurriedly and silently, stood beside Zhou Sinian, and handed the silver plate in his hand to Zhou Sinian.
The silver platter was empty and glittering. A black, extremely thin needle of sheep intestine was placed on a silver platter, as if it could pierce the eyes of a blind man. Zhou Sinian groaned slightly and closed his eyes in pain.
I understand Zhou Sinian's feelings, if it was just him, he would admit defeat and die. But there were too many people behind him, and he couldn't afford to lose.
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Sinian kowtowed deeply, lay at Li Chaozong's feet, and begged with difficulty, "Everything is done by the criminal minister alone, and the criminal minister is willing to accept all punishments, only ask Your Majesty to be merciful, for the sake of the past feelings, let go of the criminal minister's family." ”
Li Chaozong sat down on the chair next to him and put the silver plate aside. He whispered: "Si Nian, I know that this will scare you, I originally wanted to do it by you like before, and I just need to take a look." It's just that Qin Tianjian said that there will be heavy snow in the next few days, and I am afraid that if you delay any longer, you will not be able to leave. Last year, my body almost burned out. ”
When Zhou Sinian heard this, he looked up at him in disbelief and surprise, and Li Chaozong also looked at Zhou Sinian expressionlessly. After a long time, Li Chaozong said: "If you want Jiangnan, just open your mouth, and I will give it to you." Why hurt Yun Xiao? ”
Zhou Sinian looked at him blankly, and tears began to drip at some point. He leaned down in shame and couldn't cry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's affection, the minister is not worthy of ......"
"I have issued a decree appointing you to be the governor of Jiangnan, in charge of all important military and political affairs in Jiangnan. Yue Lin was appointed as the general of Jiangnan and was in charge of the garrison. Yunxiao, you can take it back. ”
Li Chaozong's eyes showed irrepressible reluctance, he sighed bitterly, and said: "Si Nian, I don't know when you will meet again, don't blame me for not returning Yunyao to you, leave me a thought." In my heart, she is you. When I first saw you, you were as willful as Yun Yao. ”
Li Chaozong bent down and stretched out his hand to help Zhou Sinian, who was leaning on the ground, to help him up, seemingly inadvertently and tentatively, and gently stroked Zhou Sinian's cheek. Zhou Sinian seemed to be frightened and hurriedly dodged.
Li Chaozong sighed slightly in disappointment, and said tiredly: "You husband and wife get up, don't get tired when you kneel." ”
Zhou Sinian knelt there motionless, as if his soul had flown out of the sky again, and I hurriedly replied, "Yes." "Stand up, and you have to help Zhou Sinian up.
Zhou Sinian refused to get up, he whispered: "Your Majesty, after the minister is gone, Your Majesty will take care of the dragon body, practice in moderation, rest more, and worry less......"
"Pour me a cup of tea." Li Chaozong suddenly commanded. But there were no eunuchs and palace maids here, so I hurriedly agreed: "Yes." But after looking around, he found that there were no teapots and bowls in this dormitory, and he was about to walk out of the dormitory and ordered the palace maid at the door to do it.
"Behind the screen." Zhou Sinian said suddenly.
I was surprised how he knew, and walked behind the screen embroidered with the picture of a rich peony that Li Chaozong had just walked out. (To be continued.) )
