Chapter 237: Counterattack (1)
"When did you wake up? Do you feel unwell? Hungry or not? ”
As soon as Xu Zigui entered the Qing Courtyard, he took Zidai's hand and looked up and down, asking non-stop.
Zi Dai also just woke up this time, seeing Xu Zigui looking anxious, his eyes were full of worry, Zi Dai smiled weakly, took Xu Zigui's hand and said
"It's not the one who worries the girl that it's the slave. The slave and maid are no longer in serious trouble, the girl does not need to worry, just now Dr. Zou gave the slave and maid a bowl of hot porridge, and the child is not very hungry in her stomach. ”
Although his tone was a little weaker, he also answered Xu Zigui's questions one by one, and said again after speaking: "It's the girl, I didn't sleep so late and deliberately came to see the slave maid, which made the slave and maid feel guilty." ”
"What's the guilt, I know you're awake, I'm just coming to see if you're okay, how did I sleep?" Xu Zigui patted Zidai's hand, stroked Zidai's hair that fell in front of his ear, and sighed, "I'm finally awake." ”
"The girl too, if you want to see the slave Ming'er come over to see, the girl who is tired has to rest in the middle of the night is not good......"
Before she finished speaking, Lan Xiang interrupted Zidai's words with a smile and said with a smile
"You've been asleep for a long time, but the girl has always asked you if you're awake in a dream, and I know you're awake, but I can't stop the girl."
"But no," Zi Dai woke up, everyone was in a much better mood, and Liu Lu also quipped: "If you don't wake up again, it is estimated that Miss Ming'er will burn down the mansion of the eldest princess of Linhai with a fire." ”
"You hooves!" After glaring at the two of them with a smile, Xu Zigui shook his head with a smile. Turning his head to look at Zi Dai and said with a smile: "You don't have to talk to these two hooves again, rest early, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”
Zi Dai nodded: "The slave knows." ”
After speaking, he frowned and asked, "Red sleeves her...... And Yuerong Yuexi, they ......"
"It's all good," Xu Zigui smiled and nodded comfortingly: "You don't have to worry about the three of them first, just concentrate on recuperating first." ”
Zi Dai nodded and closed her eyes obediently. Xu Zigui nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to Liu Lu to a few little maids who were waiting for Zidai, Liu Lu understood, and immediately said, "You guys put down their hands first and come to the main hall." The girl has something to explain. ”
A few little maids naturally didn't dare to delay. Hurriedly put down his hand, and the man followed Xu Zi back to the main hall.
Zidai, who was lying on the bed, only thought that Xu Zigui was going to tell them to take good care of themselves, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
Because this time is not early, it is considered the day of the third watch in the middle of the night. Xu Zigui didn't delay too much time with them in the main hall. Everyone stood in order. Let's get straight to the point
"You have been serving by my side for a long time, and you also know my temper, if you let me know that there is any gossip that has reached Zi Dai's ears. Look at you if I forgive you! ”
Everyone naturally knew that Xu Zigui was referring to Zidai's legs, and when they saw Xu Zigui like this, several people knelt down one after another
"Slaves and maidservants do as they are told."
Xu Zigui nodded and waved his hand: "Then you can go down, rest when you should rest, and continue to work if you should continue to work." ”
After everyone bent their knees, Xu Zigui took Liu Lu's hand and walked out. Lan Xiang has been taking care of Zi Dai tonight, and she doesn't know Xu Zigui's plan, and when Zi is happy that Zi Dai woke up, Liu Lu frowned and said worriedly
"The girl just told Imperial Doctor Zhang to find some more imperial doctors to treat Zidai today, and now Zidai wakes up, let's ......"
Liu Lu frowned and looked at Xu Zigui, not knowing what to say next.
Compared with Liu Lu's sad face, Xu Zigui's face was full of joy, and he patted Liu Lu's hand and smiled
"Zidai woke up is a happy event, and she is very sad."
After that, he pinched Liu Lu's chin and said with a smile: "This sad face is not good-looking." ”
Seeing that Xu Zigui was not only worried, but also had the leisure to tease her, he couldn't help glaring at Xu Zigui with disgust: "The slave is worried about the girl here, but the girl still has the leisure to laugh ......"
"Okay, okay," without waiting for Liu Lu to finish speaking, Xu Zigui interrupted Liu Lu's words with a smile: "Zi Dai is indeed a happy event when she wakes up, I hope you are all safe and sound than fighting wits and courage with others." ”
"Girl......"
Liu Lu was moved by Xu Zigui's words, and looked at Xu Zigui's eyes and stopped talking. Xu Zigui smiled and rubbed Liu Lu's head and said with a smile
"Okay, I've naturally thought of a countermeasure," after that, he turned his head to Lan Xiang, who was looking at them in confusion, and smiled and ordered: "You go to Yuerong Yuexi, and let the two of them come to Beiyuan." I have something to command. ”
"Yes"
Lan Xiang bent her knees, turned around and walked towards Liuqing Courtyard. Xu Zigui took Liu Lu's hand back to Beiyuan, instructed Liu Lu to prepare the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and wrote a few lines in front of the desk, and Yuerong Yuexi came in with the blue fragrance from the outside
"Master"
The two bowed, Xu Zigui nodded, and after quickly filling in a few strokes on the paper, he hurriedly raised his head and glanced at the two, and said with concern
"Is the wound on your face better?"
"It's all right," Yuexi nodded with a smile, and asked again: "I heard that Zi Dai woke up, because of fear of disturbing Zi Dai's rest, the slave and maid didn't go to see her, I heard Lan Xiang say that the master went to see it?" Is Zidai better? ”
After speaking, he patted his head again and smiled: "Look at the slave, the master has brought us here so late, but what do you have to order?" ”
"I haven't told you to do things for a long time, so let Lan Xiang call you here, you're too excited." Xu Zigui smiled and folded the paper with the words written on it and handed it to Yuexi: "Find a way to send the letter to Princess Anyang." After that, he instructed again: "It must be handed over to Princess Anyang before dawn!" ”
Yuexi nodded, bent her knees, and walked out without delaying the letter. Xu Zigui looked at Yuerong again, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "You and Liu Lu follow me into the palace, Lan Xiang stays, and Ming'er will go to Mrs. and the old lady early in the morning to say that I entered the palace to ask for sin." ”
"Into the palace? Right now? Lan Xiang was surprised: "Although the slave doesn't know what the girl is going to do, the palace door will not open at this hour." Girl, this is ......."
"It's okay," Xu Zigui waved his hand to interrupt Lan Xiang, glanced at Lan Xiang soothingly, and said, "If I don't enter the palace, I will kneel at the palace gate." ”
This time not only Lan Xiang, but even Liu Lu and Yuerong covered their mouths in surprise and looked at Xu Zigui: "Girl, ...... you"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll explain to you on the way when I need to explain it later." While speaking, Xu Zigui opened the curtain and walked out and instructed Lan Xiang: "I am not allowed to have a third person know about entering the palace at night, except for the lady and the old lady, do you know?" ”
"Yes!" Lan Xiang nodded. Although I don't know what Xu Zigui is going to do. But he can also see the strictness of things through Xu Zigui's face: "The girl can rest assured." ”
After that, he added: "It's cold at night, so the girl should wear more clothes." ”
Xu Zigui waved his hand and smiled: "You reminded me, it's time to add a piece of clothing." ”
Lan Xiang smiled and nodded. took out a thick dress from the closet and put it on for Xu Zigui. He also instructed Liu Luyuerong to take good care of his master. Only then did Xu Zigui get into the carriage.
Here, Xu Zigui got into the carriage and rushed to the Forbidden City, and Yuexi over there had already handed over the letter to Mo Leyuan
"It's uncomfortable to bother the princess to rest so late. However, the county lord has something important to ask for, and he hopes that the princess will help him. ”
"It's okay," Mo Leyuan was sleeping sweetly when Yuexi delivered the letter, and he smiled while looking at the letter in his hand with sleepy eyes: "Gui'er's business is the matter of the palace, so polite." ”
After saying that, he read the letter carefully.
"Le'er, Zhan Xin'an.
First of all, I will report the safety of Zi Dai, when you read this letter, Zi Dai has already woken up.
Ji Mingyue has already found the Queen Mother, the matter of the eldest cousin is enough for the Queen Mother's headache, if I get into trouble with Ji Mingyue in front of the Queen Mother, it will inevitably make me think that I only care about myself and do not understand the Queen Mother. I'm going to leave Fuchu now......"
The more Mo Leyuan looked down, the more stern his face became, and after reading it, he burned the letter first, and then sighed to Yuexi: "You go back and tell your master that I know what to do, let her pay attention to her body, don't catch a cold." ”
"Yes" Yuexi nodded and bowed her knees, and thanked Mo Leyuan again: "The slave maid has thanked the princess for her master first." ”
Mo Leyuan smiled and waved his hand: "No, you go to your master, she should be here too." ”
Yuexi nodded, bowed and retreated.
After Yuexi left, Mo Leyuan sat there again and pondered for a long time, and commanded in a deep voice
"Bai Zhi, come in."
Bai Zhi has been kept in the backyard by Mo Leyuan since the last time she was sent away by the queen because of the exposure of Mo Leyuan and Wei Yuanfeng. In the past few days, the rumors have gradually calmed down, and Mo Leyuan begged the queen mother to let Bai Zhi come back to serve.
"Princess," Bai Zhi came in from the outside curtain: "What does the princess command?" ”
Mo Leyuan looked up, saw that it was Bai Zhi, nodded at Bai Zhi one by one, and asked with a frown, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to the princess, it's the fourth watch."
Mo Leyuan nodded, thought for a while, and then ordered: "During the fifth watch, you will go out of the palace to the West Street to buy the peach blossom cake that I like to eat on weekdays." ”
Xu Zigui said in the letter that she asked Ming'er to go to the Queen Mother's palace early in the morning and said that she knelt at the palace gate to apologize, Mo Leyuan thought about it, and only by sending someone to buy things could he pass by the palace gate and see Xu Zigui kneeling at the palace gate.
Bai Zhi saw that Mo Leyuan didn't sleep in the middle of the night and told her to get up early tomorrow to buy food outside the palace, and couldn't help but feel funny: "The peach blossom cake made in the imperial dining room is not suitable for the princess's taste?" ”
Mo Leyuan shook his head with a smile, and after briefly explaining the matter of Xu Zigui, he ordered: "Ming'er, I will go to my mother's harem early in the morning to ask for peace." When you come back, you must pretend to be very anxious, and then go to the queen mother's harem to say goodbye, and let the queen mother know about Gui'er kneeling at the gate of the palace. ”
Bai Zhi nodded: "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Mo Leyuan waved his hand: "Then you can go down and rest first." ”
Bai Zhi nodded, bowed respectfully and retreated. Mo Leyuan thought repeatedly in his heart, how Ming'er should help Xu Zigui deal with the past.
Xu Zigui originally planned to pass through the mouth of Imperial Physician Zhang to spread the matter of Zidai's injury to the ears of the Queen Mother. At this time, Zi Dai woke up, for fear of bad luck, Xu Zigui didn't dare to let Zi Dai pretend not to wake up anymore, and thought of a way that was not a way - kneeling at the gate of the palace and taking the initiative to confess that he had injured Ji Mingyue's maid.
Of course, Xu Zigui naturally wouldn't be really stupid enough to confess and then let the Queen Mother punish him. Xu Zigui is just retreating from this to advance.
Mo Leyuan sighed, thinking about such a coincidence as the time of Qin Siyuan's accident, and most of his heart was sure that there must be Ji Mingyue silently manipulating these things.
Ji Mingyue, a princess, naturally doesn't have such a big ability, so that the entire Shangshu Mansion obeys her. There must be Mo Chengyuan's handiwork behind this......
Mo Leyuan guessed in his heart for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sure, if Mo Chengyuan wanted to seize the prince, he naturally wanted to entrap the courtiers, and it seemed that Wan Shangshu had also become the target of Mo Chengyuan's envelopment.
"Just because he still dares to think about that position!"
Mo Leyuan snorted coldly, and he couldn't sleep when he was worried about Xu Zigui's affairs, so he simply didn't sleep, picked up a book and sat on the head of the bed and read it seriously.
Mo Leyuan has experienced too much with Xu Zigui and Mo Ziyuan, and now that the seizure of the crown is becoming more and more intense, Mo Leyuan should naturally read more books like "Thirty-six Strategies" and learn more strategies and scheming.
In those days, Xu Zigui accidentally knew what books Mo Leyuan was reading these days, so he wrote a book for Mo Leyuan with books such as "Dream of Red Mansions" that he had read in modern times.
What Mo Leyuan is looking at this time is exactly what Xu Zigui wrote for her.
"Princess," Mo Leyuan was looking at it, and Bai Zhi came in from the outside curtain: "It's time, will the slave go outside the palace now?" ”
Mo Leyuan looked up at the window and saw that the sky was already white, so he realized that time was really fast, and hurriedly jumped off the bed, waving his hand at Bai Zhi to signal that she could go, and at the same time ordered Bai Lan to come in and change her clothes
After getting ready, Mo Leyuan took a deep breath and took Bai Lan's hand to Fengqi Palace. (To be continued.) )
