58. Chapter 58

It was already dark outside, and in the apse of Ciqing Palace, King Tan helped take care of the Emperor Taishang and fell asleep after dinner, so he said goodbye to his mother and got up to leave.

Qiao Anguo personally put on a cloak for him and sent him to the hall.

"Before he could find out the details of her, he exposed Fang Kui to her, so the prince was not afraid that she would tell the truth?" As he walked through the hall, Qiao Anguo looked at the lack of people around him and asked in a low voice.

King Tan curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said confidently: "One is a eunuch who has followed him for more than ten years, and the other is a woman who has only known each other for more than two months, no matter how favored she is, will the second brother still believe in her more than believe in Fang Kui?" A person like the second brother is cold and suspicious, how can he be dazzled by a woman? If she was smart enough, she wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing to snitch. If you're not smart enough...... Anyway, Fang Kui is already prepared, and if he really wants to confront him, he has the certainty that the second brother will believe in Fang Kui and not believe her, and at that time, even if she will not follow in He Xin'er's footsteps, she will not end up with any good results. ”

The most trusted people of the royal heirs have always been close eunuchs, with few exceptions. There are very few credible people around him like the emperor, and there is no reason to be an exception.

Qiao Anguo was still not at ease: "Since this is the case, why don't you tell her directly?" Reveal it to her like this, what if she accidentally leaks her mouth for a while? ”

King Tan laughed: "I just want to take this opportunity to see her ability - a stupid woman who doesn't even know how to remedy her leakage, and she still needs me to worry about her fate?" ”

Qiao Anguo thought about it and felt that things were not stable, it was said that Fang Kui, as a confidant of the present day, should be the heaviest bargaining chip when he was wooed, and he should use it carefully, but the prince was now easily using it to test the palace maid, it seemed that the hope for the palace maid was far greater than Fang Kui, this ...... Wouldn't you really bet on the wrong treasure?

It's a pity that the prince didn't mean to say much, and he had no choice but to say: "The prince is thoughtful, and the slave and maid can't do it." The prince can rest assured that the slaves and maids will arrange their own manpower, pay close attention to the wind and grass in Longxi Pavilion, and report it to the prince when they arrive. ”

King Tan didn't say anything, and was walking out of the hall, when he met a middle-aged servant who hurriedly came over, arched his hands and reported in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Manager Qiao, Manager Zhong sent an urgent report, saying that Du Ge Lao proposed to Zhi Shi today, and it was approved today." ”

The faces of King Tan and Qiao Anguo changed in unison.

Since Qiao Anguo stepped down as the governor of Dongchang, the first assistant of the cabinet has been the highest rank in their hands, how can there be such a big move today, even Du Rong's Zhishi is approved?

The fierce light in King Tan's eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared on his face. It seems that his style has been too soft for a while, and even the second brother has become presumptuous......

……

"What's wrong?" The Emperor raised his eyes to look at Qiwen.

"It's okay, I was distracted for a while. You see, I really haven't seen the world before, but I seem to be scared by the Empress Taishang. Qiwen deliberately avoided the emperor's gaze, expecting that as long as he didn't look at him directly, he wouldn't show any horses' feet. At that moment just now, she was really a little panicked.

The emperor really didn't doubt it, and sighed lightly: "In such a world, it would be good if you never saw it." It's not too early, so go back and rest. Now that this is the case, it is not good for you to live in Longxi Pavilion for the time being. ”

The last time I mentioned that she moved to Longxi Pavilion, she never made the trip afterwards. The emperor was also a little worried that moving her to the front would be at risk of "not being able to bear it", but he really wanted her to live closer, and every night he didn't have to worry about the time to get under the key, and spent a little more time with her, so he couldn't make a decision for this.

Now that she has decided to let her spy on King Tan, if she is allowed to live in Longxi Pavilion again, there will be no reason to go out all day, and it will not be good to leave King Tan a chance to contact her.

After the emperor finished speaking, he was about to go around the dragon book case to see the music, but heard that Qiwen did not retire and leave, but walked a few steps to him.

"How?" As soon as he turned around, he was thrown into Qiwen's arms, and her arms tightly wrapped around him.

The shining dot of emerald red golden phoenix butterfly Hua Tian trembled lightly in front of her eyes, and the emperor stroked her shoulder, speechless for a while. What else can be said at this moment? If you want to open your mouth again, you can only say: Don't go, I'd rather fight with them for my life than you suffer this kind of grievance.

Qiwen didn't leave him a chance to shake again, she quickly put down her hand, and said with a smile on her eyebrows: "I save it, aren't you afraid that I will seduce you again?" You're right, that's what I expected, if I live in Longxi Pavilion, I'll have to try it again one night. ”

The emperor laughed and laughed, and he couldn't answer. This girl is getting more and more bold, and now she doesn't blush when she says such things.

He thought of another thing, and emphasized with a slight solemn face: "I want you to spy on Yuan Ying, I don't expect you to bring back any important news, in fact, in order to restrain his energy, to hang his appetite, so that he can have expectations for you, so that he can take it lightly elsewhere." So, you don't need to be too flattering to him, just be perfunctory. ”

"yes, I know." Qiwen smiled and nodded, and said, "Then I'll retire first." ”

The emperor still saw that there was something strange in her expression, but he only thought that he was uneasy about today's decision, so he didn't say anything more and let her go.

In fact, he had the intention to make the reminder more thorough, so he thought about it or just did it. She is obviously more enthusiastic and bold than ordinary women, and she has not been afraid to take the initiative to get close to him recently, and when he thinks of letting her go to deal with Yuan Ying, he is really a little worried that in order to get a little more information, she will not only pretend to Yuan Ying, but even do something to tempt him.

But worried about it, he still judged this to be his own heart, her resistance to Yuan Ying was obvious, and she wouldn't really do that. If you really confess this kind of words, it will only end up hurting her heart. Maybe I'm just too suspicious.

Remembering that he had said that he would be willing to sacrifice her for the sake of the country, he himself felt funny, how long has it been, not to mention that he sacrificed her for the sake of protecting the country, that is, the country would be exchanged for a little of her reputation, and he felt that he would rather be burned than reluctant.

If it weren't for the fact that the shape was really too bad, and the odds of winning were really too small, no matter how eager she was to try and fight for it, how could he be willing to let her do such a thing?

……

Zhiyang Palace was gathered in a confused night. Most of the lights are kept in the palace courtyards, and the sandwich road square outside the palace courtyard is only lit by a few stone palace lamps, and it is dark everywhere.

Most of the palace people who are going to be on duty in the palace have returned to the lower room, and the passages are very clean everywhere, except for a few eunuchs who go on night errands, there is no one to be seen.

Qiwen walked very fast on the way back, and if she didn't have to hold the minimum etiquette of a palace maid, she would almost have to trot. In the dark winter night, the hot breath exhaled from the nostrils turned into a cloud of white mist. In the silence, only the sound of his own footsteps, wheezing, and even his heartbeat could be heard.

It was only after returning to the lower room, retreating from Qin'er, and confirming that there was a safe place that belonged only to her, Qiwen collapsed, allowing panic and helplessness to wrap her whole body, dripping with cold sweat.

It turned out to be Fang Kui!

Just more than half a month ago, she also asked the emperor how many of the estimated palace people would be the fine works of the third prince.

The emperor replied clearly: "Except for Wang Zhi, Yuan He and Fang Kui, anyone can be." Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts, no matter how honest and responsible people seem on the surface, they can't be trusted. Qiao Anguo was once the head of the eunuchs in the palace, and all the eunuchs were his subordinates, so it would not be surprising to say that they all worked for Yuan Ying. So except for these three people, everyone else had to be on guard. ”

Except for these three, except for these three!

It turned out that Qiwen still felt that the emperor was shrewd and rational, and had always had confidence in him, thinking that he was too pessimistic, but in fact, the winning side was not as small as he expected, and now she actually saw that even Fang Kui had defected to King Tan, and the situation was probably worse than the emperor expected, how could she not be shocked, how could she not panic?

What King Tan wants is this effect, so that she can see that even one of the emperor's only three confidants and eunuchs is his person, and this "ability" is not thorough enough? Shouldn't she believe that the world is actually in his hands Bai Yuanying, and believe that the only thing he lacks is just a name, and she can turn over her hands at any time if she wants it, and she can turn over her hands at any time?

No wonder King Tan is so determined to win over her, if it weren't for the support of his sincere heart, and there was no way out from the beginning, how many people could see this hopeless situation, and still be as loyal to the emperor as she was?

Just now in the imperial study, she hesitated and wanted to say it directly to the emperor. With the progress of her current development with the emperor, and such a good atmosphere, she said it directly, and the emperor may not believe her.

Fang Kui was a close confidant he had trusted for many years, and he might not be immediately convinced when he heard the news, but at least he would not suspect her because of this, thinking that she was deliberately provoking something.

He should be suspicious of Fang Kui from now on, and he will always be on guard in the future. As long as he pays attention, he will always find Fang Kui's flaws, and there is no need for Qiwen to provide any evidence, and he will always be able to get Fang Kui is meticulous work in the future.

The reason why King Tan was not afraid of her saying it out must be because she didn't expect her to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the emperor. People like Tan Wang can't understand that there will be such pure feelings and trust between people, which is also imaginable.

Qiwen also guessed that he might have prepared a trick for Fang Kui, not afraid that she and Fang Kui would confront the emperor together, nor would he be afraid that the emperor would be suspicious and test Fang Kui. But no matter what tricks or evidence, they can't match the results of the scale weighing in the emperor's own heart.

She was actually confident that the emperor would not be separated from her if he listened to her words pointing at Fang Kui. His trust in her was far stronger than King Tan expected.

It should be sued for him. It's just that at the moment when she just confirmed that Fang Kui was a meticulous work, she was really a little panicked, and she almost wanted to run away from the wilderness, and she had lost the ability to analyze and judge. As King Tan said in the afternoon, she was really "scared".

She is just a poor student who has just graduated, and she has been an ancient lady for a year, where has she seen this kind of world?

Qiwen didn't light the lamp, curled up against the wall and hid in the dark, quietly combing her thoughts. In the end, he came to the conclusion: tomorrow I have to go and tell him about this, and the sooner I say it, the sooner he will start to watch out for Fang Kui. Now all I can rely on is him, and if I hide it from him in case of trouble, it will be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall and destroying my own life.

After making up his mind, his mood calmed down, went to bed, and waited for tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and this major event included in the plan could not be implemented the next day, because she was sick.

Qiwen felt strange, this Miss Zhao's body foundation is not very good, the diet is too fine, and there is a lack of exercise, and she died that time, she did have a dish when she first took over, but after a year of intentional exercise such as walking in circles in the inner house, it has improved a lot, and then added some physical points given by the system, and she has never had any diseases.

This time it was like a mountain of illness, there was no warning before, and she felt dizzy when she woke up, she was just a lack of sleep, but when she wanted to get up, her whole body was weak and weak, and she almost fell from the bed, startling Qin'er who came in to serve her to get up.

After that, she started a fever, and she broke out in a cold sweat, not to mention going to Longxi Pavilion to go to the top duty, she couldn't even get out of bed.

Ordinary palace girls are sick, at most, their companions will go to the hospital to report their illness, and get a few pieces of medicine back to drink. Qiwen is not an ordinary palace maid, after Qin'er went to Longxi Pavilion early in the morning to deliver a letter, the emperor did not have time to visit in person for the time being, but soon sent a senior old lady doctor to come to the door to diagnose the pulse.

It was the first time that the imperial doctor had come to the palace maid's place for a visit, and Qiwen didn't even have a bed tent here, so she had no way to avoid suspicion, so she could only ask the old lady to ask about it.

The old man stroked his beard and said a medical terminology of Wen Zou Zou, Qiwen generally heard that it seemed to say that she had a cold when she came back the night before, although she felt that her symptoms were not very similar, so she had no choice but to make any defensible objections in front of the experts, so she had to obediently accept the diagnosis of the doctor.

"Sister, don't worry, the master said, let you recuperate with peace of mind, don't worry about the errand of Longxi Pavilion, just open your mouth if you lack anything. When he has time, he will come to visit in person. After the imperial doctor left, Qian Yuanhe, who came with him, comforted Qiwen.

"Senior Brother Lao Qian told the emperor that I am not seriously ill, and it must be fine to recuperate for two days, he is busy with business, so he does not need to delay to visit me. Besides, it is not appropriate for the emperor to come here. Qiwen sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile.

After a few more gossips, Qian Yuanhe said goodbye and left. Qiwen's strong breath relaxed, and she suddenly collapsed on the bed, panting heavily, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin'er hurriedly came over to help her lie down, and said with a worried face: "Why does the girl behave like this to show the emperor? It's not a bad thing to let the emperor know that you are seriously ill. ”

Qiwen couldn't explain to her how unwilling she was to be a burden to him, his time was tight enough, the burden was heavy enough, and she was guilty enough that she couldn't help him, how could she want to cause him the slightest worry and distraction? Not to mention, solving her own affairs by herself has always been the principle she adheres to. She, like him, advocates independence in her bones.

Something is wrong, something is wrong, but how it is wrong, with her current groggy mind, she can't figure it out at all.

I had to sleep in a daze, and when I woke up at dusk, Qiwen's spirit was a little better.

Qin'er boiled the medicine to feed her, Qiwen keenly noticed that Qin'er's hands were a little trembling, and when she looked at her face again, she was also pale in blood and in poor spirits.

"Qin'er, you also feel unwell, don't you?"

Qin'er smiled reluctantly: "Typhoid fever is a bit outstanding, don't worry, girl, I'm in good shape, and I'll get better soon." ”

"That's not right...... Qiwen gently pushed open the medicine bowl, forced herself to sit up and lean against the head of the bed, "Think about it, since last night, is there anything different in my room from usual?" ”

"What's the difference?" Qin'er frowned slightly and thought for a while, "If it's different, it seems that the smell of incense has changed a little, it was originally a good sweet fragrance, but it was ordered last night, but it has a slightly bitter taste." I think the last bit left has been damp and spoiled......"

As early as that time after talking to the emperor about insomnia, the emperor gave Qiwen the soothing incense he used and a small incense tower for her to burn every day.

Qin'er said and became frightened: "Girl, could it be that I accidentally burned a spoiled incense block that caused you to get sick?" ”

Qiwen shook her head: "You go and bring me the incense tower." ”

Qin'er took the bronze gold swaska-pattern carved incense tower according to her words, and opened the upper lid to support Qiwen. Qiwen didn't dare to get close to smell it, only picked a hairpin, observed the color of the incense ash, and then waved her hand weakly: "Pour this incense ash, and don't burn the remaining incense...... Oh, and be careful not to be seen. ”

No matter how simple and ignorant Ren Qin'er was, she also understood the general situation, her face was almost completely white, and she nodded and took the incense tower to dispose of it. When she returned, Qiwen asked again, "Who did you see approaching my house yesterday?" ”

Qin'er recalled with tears in her eyes: "No...... However, when it was just dark, I expected that the girl would not return for a while, and after tidying up the house, I went back to my room and rested for a while...... Girl, it's all because I'm not careful. ”
