CHAPTER XLII
Day and four years, the second day of the first month.
Princess's House.
Miaoyin was dressed in a thick and warm fox fur, holding a cup of tea, lazily leaning on the table.
Xiao Maode came to visit her house early in the morning. I don't know how many times they have done the most private things between them, and it doesn't matter if they are polite and honest. Xiao Maode flirted lightly, she only let him do it. * When I was in a hurry, I wandered in the pavilion.
At this moment, everything calmed down, Miao Yin only looked at the scenery outside, Xiao Maode hugged her from behind, pecked her neck for a while, leaned on her ear and spoke.
It is a valley with low mountains on three sides, and the mountains are densely planted with trees. At this time, the old leaves have fallen, and the new leaves have not yet grown, leaving only a forest of bare branches, reflected in the dark blue pool water, and the shadows of the trees are like algae slanting horizontally.
The sky was not dark, but when the morning dawned the sky was gray, and from the valley it was narrow and cramped.
The scenery on all sides is gray, but there are two mandarin ducks with gorgeous feathers floating on the pond - the original mandarin ducks are one color and one gray, Miaoyin dislikes the gray defeat, so they all replace them with colorful mandarin ducks. The subordinates flattered and feared her, so naturally they only knew that they would blindly say yes, and no one dared to have any opinions. However, the relationship between the two mandarin ducks is very bad, and they are flapping their wings and kicking each other on the water at the moment.
Miao Yin drank tea and watched them fight, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xiao Maode didn't notice what was on her mind, and only thought that he had served her comfortably, so he began to lead her to get down to business.
"What are you going to do with that little girl Ruyi?"
It took a while for Miao Yin to come back to her senses.
I knew that what I should be more worried about at the moment was whether Vimo knew or not, how much did he know—and Miao Yin's absent-mindedness was really because of this—but when he heard Xiao Maode's words, his jealous nature immediately woke up. She is like a yellow-faced woman who coldly watches her husband become a demon, mocking Xiao Maode in her heart and not knowing that the catastrophe is coming, and secretly annoyed and jealous. He replied with a smile, "What do you say I should do?" ”
Xiao Maode played with her sideburns. In bed, he is actually a very domineering and rude lover, maybe he doesn't realize it himself, and he will only treat her very considerate and gentle when he calculates the wonderful sound. But Miao Yin knows this. But what she loves is not his thoughtfulness and gentleness, she just enjoys his majesty. Occasionally, he was cautious—for example, if he wanted an ebony carriage that had gone beyond the limit, she would get it for him. Hengzhu's father knows that he has treated her badly, and he has always responded to her needs. She can squander as much as she wants to vent her dissatisfaction.
But that doesn't mean she can't see through Xiao Maode's mind.
Xiao Maode really said, "We also have to grab her handle so that she doesn't dare to talk nonsense." It's better to pull her into the water and become an accomplice......"
"Hmm...... But what to do? ”
"Set up a bureau." Xiao Maode said, "Trick her here, you are her sister, how can she refuse if you invite her to come?" When the time comes, get some medicine, find someone to do it to her, and make sure she is comfortable......"
Miao Yin couldn't help but chuckle and said coldly, "How many accomplices do you have to get involved?" Doesn't everyone know that the more people involved, the greater the risk of exposure? ”
This was exactly what Xiao Maode wanted, and he said in a deep voice, "Then what should I do? ”
Miao Yin said, "Why don't you just come." As long as she is allowed to eat the marrow and know the taste, she is afraid that she will still ask you to get it in the future, where will there be dissent? That's the idea you're fighting. ”
No matter how stupid Xiao Maode was, he could hear the strange words of Miaoyin, and he froze unconsciously. Miao Yin didn't wait for him to speak, she got up, looked back at him quietly, and said with a smile, "You're very good, much better than everyone else - but not so comfortable, really." ”
Xiao Maode's face was uncertain, ashamed, and a little vicious. Jumped up and pressed her against the couch, "Is it that comfortable, don't you know best?" ”
Miao Yin hugged his neck and laughed wantonly, laughing for a while, and then her eyes softened. She raised her hand and touched Xiao Maode's face, and said, "Really, a woman's brain doesn't grow in the lower three roads." You're not too young, why are you so stupid......" she chuckled, "Do you really think that if you grow an extra stupid thing, you can make all the women in the world bow down to you?" ”
"Let's do something big." She said, "Didn't you say you wanted to make me queen?" …… Go ahead and kill the prince. ”
After Xiao Maode left, Miao Yin wrapped himself in a fox fur and looked at the dark blue pond outside with a tired expression.
For a long time, she didn't think about anything.
It wasn't until the maid entered the house to add the silver bone charcoal that she got up stiffly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "You don't need to add it, you can't use it anymore." ”
Xiao Maode came out of the princess's mansion, slightly dizzy in his head.
- Miao Yin ordered him to kill the prince, and she came to get rid of the Son of Heaven. Xiao Maode could vaguely detect that Miao Yin was serious.
Of course, Xiao Maode wants to kill Vimo and become the crown prince, even if he has half the chance, he dares to gamble, and he has done a lot of murder and overkilling, and the matter of the son killing his father and his brother killing his brother is just normal in his opinion. He resented the Son of Heaven for treating him harshly, and he didn't know how many times Ling Chi had passed the Son of Heaven.
But he didn't expect that Miaoyin also wanted to kill his father! Not only did she want to say it, but she really planned to do it!
Xiao Maode had to admit that his second sister was indeed unexpected, so bold that he often felt novel. They are indeed a natural pair.
Thinking that the most beloved daughter of the Son of Heaven wanted his life, Xiao Maode felt extremely happy. I just want to look up to the sky and laugh.
But he didn't get dizzy.
Miao Yin's plan is clearly dead, and even if he succeeds, it will be Vimo who will benefit, and it will not benefit him at all - of course he doesn't feel that he can kill Vimo quietly, otherwise he would have done it a long time ago. He was thinking about it in his head, and decided to pretend not to know, and only perfunctory wonderful sounds, instigating and sitting back and watching her and the father and daughter of the Son of Heaven kill each other.
It's a good show.
He was so proud that he leaned against the ebony wall of the car with his hands and feet wide open, and casually lifted the curtain of the car to look out.
But I saw a figure quickly turn the corner of the wall and hide in the dark.
Xiao Maode's brain suddenly woke up - was he being watched? Is it wonderful news? Or Xiao Huaishuo? Could it be the crown prince?
……
He immediately realized that his relationship with Miaoyin wasn't all that private. Whether Miao Yin succeeds or fails, Vimo will inevitably pursue it with all his might. He is likely to be implicated. If the matter fails, it will be enough, the Son of Heaven is extremely kind to his relatives, as long as he puts all the things on Miaoyin's head, he can always escape a catastrophe. But if it happens, Yiweimo's jealousy of him will inevitably take the opportunity to attack him.
Xiao Maode quickly weighed it in his heart, and after a while, he made up his mind, and immediately said to the coachman, "Go to the East Palace!" The coachman was puzzled, but he changed his mind again, "No, let's go home." ”
――Even if you want to tell the truth, you have to stabilize the sound first.
"You said Sister is going to assassinate Daddy?"
"That's what she said." Xiao Maode said, "I don't know what crazy she is, and she suddenly came up with this kind of thought......"
Vimo didn't want to see Xiao Maode—Xiao Maode's intentions for him could be seen by everyone in the world who knew the two of them except the Son of Heaven. Even a person as eccentric and cold as Xiao Shen must follow him when he sees Xiao Maode leading him to play. Rao is like this, when he was a child, he was also led by Xiao Maode to the rockery pond and discarded. Fortunately, the people around him were vigilant and guarded, so nothing went wrong.
But thinking of the events on Chinese New Year's Eve, Vimo still made the ghost send the quasi-Xiao Maode to see it.
Then I heard him say that Miao Yin wanted to kill his father.
Vimo felt that this person was really inferior to a beast, and that his adultery and sister were already appalling, who knew that he was still living with Miao Yin the day before yesterday, and today he planted the heinous sin on her head.
Vimo felt incomprehensible - what good could he do to confuse his second sister so far!
"Regardless of whether Sister said it or not, or how she said it," Vimo couldn't help but stab him, "Even if she really thinks so, why would she say it to you?" ”
"She wanted to encourage me to be complicit with her." On the city government, where will a wicked person like Xiao Maode who does absolutely bad things be held by Vimo? Even if he had figured out from this sentence that Vimo knew about his and Miaoyin's private feelings, he still didn't blink his eyes, and he was so sincere that people couldn't find fault with it, "Second sister seems to feel that I have some prejudice against you." I don't know where she heard these slanders - you know, I'm not a big person, so I just want to live a prosperous life in peace. What's more, I have been nurtured by His Majesty and the Queen since I was a child, if I still have thoughts in my heart, wouldn't it be better than a beast? ”
He cleared his name with his words.
Vimobai was praised for his "agility", and he was helpless when he encountered such a scoundrel.
But he did hear the meaning of Xiao Maode's words - Miaoyin not only wanted to kill his father, but also got rid of him.
However, compared to killing his father, Miao Yin wanted to attack him, but Vimo was not so surprised. Heavenly family has no siblings, he broke Miaoyin's private affairs, Miaoyin wants to kill him and support Xiao Maode to the throne - at least it sounds much more reasonable than killing his father. As for why Xiao Maode emphasized that Miao Yin wanted to kill his father, Bacheng just wanted to give him an excuse to stab the matter to the Son of Heaven.
Naturally, Vimo was sad in his heart - sister and brother, Miao Yin was such a scum, and this little thing would harm him. But at the same time, he was also sober - the human heart can sometimes be so sinister.
He could also guess Xiao Maode's motive for the whistleblowing. I'm afraid that Xiao Maode is tired of Miaoyin and wants to use this matter and his hand to get rid of Miaoyin. By the way, he also tricked him - if he complained to the Son of Heaven that Miaoyin wanted to kill his father, what would the Son of Heaven think of him? And if Miaoyin does it, Xiao Maode will naturally report it; If Miaoyin didn't do it, the fault was also borne by Vimo.
"If you have this heart, you are not as good as a beast. said that Sister Ah wanted to kill her father, so there must be some evidence. ”
Sure enough, Xiao Maode said, "If I have a certificate, I will go directly to Daddy and tell it - to be honest, I don't know if the second sister is crazy for a while." It's not that you don't know her temper, and when you get annoyed, you can say anything. It's just that this one is too heavy, in case...... So I have no choice but to sue you, so that you can be on your guard, and be prepared. Daddy is old after all. ”
His rhetoric was exactly as Vimore had hoped. Only such a vicious person can say such a heinous thing so lightly and innocently.
His second sister is blind?
Vimo laughed angrily.
Xiao Maode couldn't see through Vimo's mind for a while, so he said, "When it's over, it's almost time for me to leave." ”
He got up and was about to leave, but Vimo knocked his teacup and said, "What's the hurry, you have to find out if the second sister is crazy for a while, isn't it?" ”
The attendants immediately stepped forward to grab Xiao Maode, and Xiao Maode couldn't help but scold in shock, "Xiao Huaiyou, what do you mean!" Don't take the culprit ......"
Vimo interrupted him and said, "You also know the temper of the second sister, maybe there is some misunderstanding between you?" It's better to say it face to face. He waved his hand and said, "Go and invite Princess Yongxi to come!" ”
Vimo has always been soft and deceitful, Xiao Maode has always despised him, but he did not expect him to have such a decisive decision, and only now did he realize his mistake - between him and Miao Yin, Vimo naturally hated him even more. It seems that Vimo actually wants to team up with Miao Yin and take the opportunity to get rid of him first. After a moment, he thought, not necessarily—I'm afraid Vimo is still soft on Miao Yin, and wants to leave her a way out.
He has done absolutely bad things, and he has seen a lot of deception. Obviously, he betrayed Miaoyin, but he was not weak-hearted. While scolding, he was still thinking that Miaoyin might not be willing to let him go, and after a while, he saw how Miaoyin should hint at her to use Vimo's softness to turn the tables.
However, after only a moment, the guard who had just gone out turned to the house and said, "His Royal Highness has entered the palace." ”
When Vimo came to the Chengqian Palace, he saw that the palace attendants were all holding their breath and condensing, and the main hall was huge, but they didn't hear any sound at all, and they were so depressed that they were breathless.
The lady serving the tea came out with broken porcelain pieces, and the hem of her skirt was covered with tea stains. and quietly ordered the chamberlain, who served the books, to come into the house and serve.
Vimo was stunned, expecting that the Son of Heaven might be in a bad mood. In the past two years, the Son of Heaven has studied Buddhism carefully, and even most of the government has been handed over to him to take care of, and he has rarely become angry about anything. Today's anger must be unusual, but Vimo didn't get any news, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Before entering the temple to meet him, he saw Cassia standing on one side, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Cassia for a while. Cassia bowed his head and saluted, and quickly whispered in his ear, "Princess Miaoyin." ”
Vimo was shocked. However, there was no time to ask questions, so I could only rush in.
The Son of Heaven was leaning on the couch - he had been suffering from asthma a little lately because of his age. I had a seizure when I beat Princess Miaoyin last year, and there are some signs today.
Vimo hurriedly greeted the Son of Heaven, and stepped forward to calm his breath for the Son of Heaven. But the Son of Heaven waved him away, and said angrily, "You unscrupulous descendants! Are you going to be angry? ”
Vimo had no place to embarrass himself, so he could only kneel on the ground immediately, but he didn't know how to justify, "My son doesn't dare!" ”
The Son of Heaven was dizzy, and he looked up to the sky and sighed, "That's it, that's it, you get up—I only ask you, how long have you known!" ”
Princess Miaoyin has done too many things that should not be known, and Vimo really doesn't know which one the Son of Heaven is asking for a while. Fortunately, when he entered the hall, he saw the chamberlain who had reported to him on Chinese New Year's Eve standing on one side, and he had already guessed that the Son of Heaven might have only noticed the private affairs of Miao Yin and Xiao Maode. Peace of mind.
Then he said, "My son is also on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve - if my son knew it a moment earlier, he would not let my second sister go to this step." It's not right to hide that Daddy is a son......"
The Son of Heaven closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, finally relieved, and said, "That's it, that's it, she doesn't even pay attention to me, you are a younger brother, where can you control her!" ”
Vimo didn't dare to defend himself anymore, and only knelt on the ground and remained silent.
The Son of Heaven said, "Go and call this evil obstacle, and I will discipline her myself!" ”
Vimo remembered Xiao Maode's words, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. Afraid that Miaoyin would be confused for a while and really do something irreparable, he advised, "This matter should not be publicized." The son felt that Sister Ah was just being confused and coerced for a while, so he just needed to separate them. After a long time, Sister naturally woke up. At this time, it was suddenly punctured, but I was afraid that Sister A would be thin-skinned and couldn't stand it. In case she can't think of it......"
The Son of Heaven said, "If she really wanted face, she wouldn't have done such an ugly thing!" In the past, I indulged her too much, so I raised her into such a lawless and shameless character. If she doesn't teach her, who knows what else she will do! ”
Vimo added, "It's getting late at the moment, so it's better to wait for tomorrow ......."
The Son of Heaven scolded, "Why are you pushing back like this!" ”
Vimo didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only hurry out and order, but the Son of Heaven said, "-Don't make a show." ”
Vimo replied, "Yes......"
When he thought of the godson of the Son of Heaven, he was bound to retreat. What if I can't think about it? I couldn't help but feel anxious.
The rosewood floor was polished, and because of the laying of earth dragons, Sayi walked barefoot in the house without feeling cold. There are not many furnishings in the hall, only the genus of Yaoqin, incense burner, and tea table, and there are camellia and rhododendrons blooming one by one, and the soft red and emerald green smoke tent is windless and automatic. Miao Yin sat on the floor casually, absentmindedly playing with the yaoqin. The birds in the house have been raised for a long time, and they are very close to her, and when they hear the sound of the piano, they fly down on her knees and shoulders. The head listened to her play the piano one by one.
The people had long been accustomed to such a scene, but the coachman who came to report the news had never seen it, and he was stunned unconsciously.
The wonderful sound is also watched by him. After a while, Fang said impatiently, "Didn't you come to me to report the news?" ”
The coachman suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, "The Marquis of Xixiang has gone to the East Palace-I was going to go when I went out of the mansion, and I don't know why I stopped on the way." After returning to his own mansion, he ordered the villain to take him out for a big circle, and then quietly went around the prince's mansion. ”
At the end of the song, Miao Yin quietly stopped.
After a while, he said, "Got it, you go down and get the reward." ”
The coachman said in a ghostly way, "The villain doesn't want to reward ......" before he felt bold, but the words had already been spoken, so he simply went to the end, "I only ask the princess to reward the villain with a camellia ......"
Miao Yinben's face was numb, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the coachman, and after a while, she pursed her lips and smiled—she was already a beautiful person, and this smile was even more vivid.
She got up herself and went to fold a camellia. She walked barefoot on the ground, and her white feet were hidden from time to time under the light blue gauze skirt. She walked up to the coachman herself, and when the coachman knelt on the ground, he saw only half of her beaded and half-glossy fingertips exposed under her gauze skirt, and she couldn't help but retreat in shame. Miao Yin leaned over, childlike innocent prank, put the camellia hairpin to his ear, afraid that the hairpin would not work hard and pressed it gently, before saying, "Go down." ”
The coachman had the urge to pounce for a while, but he still didn't dare to blaspheme.
And after the wonderful sound hairpin finished the flower, it was like finally a matter of earthly affairs, and he got up and left without care.
When the messenger of the Son of Heaven arrived, she had just finished bathing and was waiting to change her clothes. Hearing this, he only indifferently ordered, "Wait a moment." ”
She didn't need a maid, she just carefully smeared rouge and pasted Huadian alone. After dressing up, he turned around in front of the makeup mirror again, and was sure that he was flawless, so he opened the makeup box, took out the dagger in the dark compartment at the bottom, and caged it in his sleeve.
Commanded, "Let's go." ”
