Chapter 465: Last Night's Horror
"Queen Mother, the slaves and maids don't dare, it's just that the emperor's order is difficult, and please don't blame the queen mother, don't be angry, it's late at night, you should also rest, and when the will to lift the ban tomorrow arrives, the slaves and maids can't stop the queen mother wherever she wants to go, but tonight the slaves and maids have to offend." Wen Qin didn't intend to come hard, so she just continued to reply to the same words without pain, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare? Can't! This palace looks at you very boldly, what kind of place is this Kunning Palace, and it is also a place where lowly people like you can act recklessly? Hmph, what's the matter, did you come with a team of Imperial Guards to rebel? The queen reprimanded angrily, looking furious, for her to be stopped by two minions at the gate of her palace today, it was too humiliating, and there was already a sense of annoyance and anger in these words.
"I really don't dare, please forgive the queen mother, the night is heavy, please go back to the palace first." Wen Qin was still patiently dissuaded.
The queen sneered and said: "What a slave, your concubine is just a temporary palace minister, but you dare to bully people like this, what kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is, it is really a dog fighting people!" ”
"Queen Mother!" Wen Qin seemed to be a little angry, but in the end, he still kept his sense of proportion and did not exceed it.
And Wen Qi was anxious, and she felt very uncomfortable after listening to the queen's words, she was different from Wen Qin, and she had always been unable to swallow her anger, so Wen Qi said angrily: "Queen Mother, it makes no sense for you to talk like this, our mother arranged martial law for the safety of the harem, but you have to do the opposite tonight." Not only did he not listen to the advice, but he also spoke ill of each other, and you, the queen, are just like that! ”
"Bastard! What kind of thing are you, dare to talk to the queen like this, come on, give me a slap! Hearing this, Hongjian immediately raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
"You're a thing! It's not your turn to slap me in the mouth, and besides, am I wrong? Everyone has heard the riots outside, and everyone must know the meaning of martial law, if it weren't for the protection of the queen and you, why would Wenqin and I have to entangle with you here. Queen, you have always been wise. Isn't it clear what my mother's intentions are, or that you don't have anything to do with outside, otherwise you wouldn't be the only one in the entire harem who is so commotionful! "Wenqi is a thorny sentence.
Wen Qi is not aggrieved for herself, she really can't see anyone slandering and despising her master concubine Niangniang so much. Therefore, the words of Wenqi are a little less good.
Wenqi fell. Wenqin was a little nervous. And the queen's face changed instantly, it seemed that Wen Qi's words hit the queen's vital point, and she said angrily: "You! Hum! …… cough cough cough ...... Ahem, ahem! ”
The queen was furious. But before he could open his mouth and curse Wen Qi, he coughed first, and the red note on the side immediately patted the queen's back and said nervously: "Niangniang, Niangniang, are you okay?" Are you alright? ”
Seeing this, Wen Qin said: "The queen is windy outside, you are weak or go back, the slave and maid will not compromise tonight no matter what, it makes no sense for you to be in such a stalemate, your body is naturally important, let's go back." ”
"You are bullying others, bullying our queen mother and falling out of favor, it is extremely hateful, if our queen mother has any problems, I will try my best to sue the emperor, so that the emperor can also see clearly what kind of scorpion-hearted woman his favorite concubine is!" Seeing that the queen was panting, Hongjian was anxious, so he became a little open-mouthed.
Wen Qi said angrily: "It's really nonsense, red note, you are the queen's mother's slave, she is not in good health, you should naturally discourage and take care of it, now it is your dereliction of duty, causing the queen to blow the wind and feel uncomfortable, why do you blame us, instead of stalemate here, it is better to help the queen go back to the house earlier, and save the last big trouble!" ”
"Wenqi, you ......" the red note looked at each other angrily, but he didn't know what to reply.
Seeing this, Wen Qin just pinched Wen Qi's hand and said: "Wen Qi, don't clash with them, there is me here, you went outside to order the guarding Imperial Forest Army to be vigilant, I don't know what the situation is outside, we must not cause trouble to the master, you know?" ”
Although Wen Qi was very annoyed with the queen and the red note in front of her, she still had some sense, she knew that Wen Qin was protecting her, she nodded at Wen Qin and said, "Don't worry, there is me outside, you have to be more careful here." ”
Wen Qin smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't deliberately provoke them, our task is to impose martial law until dawn, as long as we can hold on to that time, it will be fine, I don't have to worry too much about it, go ahead." ”
After the words fell, Wen Qi nodded firmly at Wen Qin and went out to guard again, and everything here was handed over to Wen Qin, although he could still hear the queen's fierce rebuke through the palace gate, but Wen Qin's voice has always been gentle and elegant, polite and courteous.
But Wen Qin's indifferent and calm reaction made the queen Liu more and more on the verge of anger, and through the palace gate, the queen could be heard more and more unconcealed anger and fear, and Wen Qi's heart became more and more uneasy......
"Wenqi, Wenqi!" Wen Qin's call interrupted Wen Qi's thoughts, and she looked up for a moment and said, "What's the matter, Sister Wenqin?" ”
Wen Qin smiled slightly: "It's not what's wrong with me, it's what's wrong with you?" ”
"I ...... I'm fine, it's just that what happened in the night was so sudden, I haven't really reacted yet, oh, by the way, sister, your face is still ...... Does it still hurt? Wen Qi said with concern.
When Wen Qi spoke, Wen Qin gently stroked his already swollen cheeks and said helplessly: "This little injury is fine." ”
"Sister is really, why don't you hide, why are you polite to them, why don't you let me in, the queen is really too deceitful, quite unreasonable, no wonder the emperor has snubbed her for so many years!" Wen Qi was very upset for Wen Qin.
"Hey...... She is still the queen in the end, even if she is not favored, but the position is still there, as long as she is still the queen, then we have to follow the rules and etiquette, try not to clash with her head-on, besides, the master just asked us to stop them from making trouble, but he didn't let us do whatever we wanted, how can we save some face here, queen. Wenqin said quietly.
"Yes...... But why did she beat you! I can't swallow this! Wen Qi was still very annoyed.
"Hmph, forget it, she also jumped off the wall in a hurry, it seems that the master is right to be worried, there are really people who want to make trouble when the emperor has an accident, I just didn't expect it to be the queen's mother." Wen Qin sighed.
"Sister Wenqin, why did the queen suddenly ...... That's it...... Going to break in?" Wenqi still doesn't understand much.
Wen Qin sighed and said, "Do you remember that there were two fireworks like fireworks last night?" ”
Wen Qi nodded and said, "Remember, once I went to Kunning Palace, and once when it was almost dawn, what is that?" ”
"Flares! Also known as signal fireworks! It is used to deliver messages. Wenqin explained.
"Deliver a message? Could it be that the people from the outer palace are passing on some news to the queen? "Wenqi is very good at association.
"It is very likely that the queen suddenly asked to go out of the palace to the front hall not long after the first signal flare was issued, saying that she heard something bad, but in fact, I also have some suspicions." Wen Qin nodded.
"Sister Wenqin, is it the person on the other side of the second prince?" Wen Qi said extremely quietly.
"Shh Wen Qin's face changed a little when she heard the three words of the second prince, she looked around with a wary face, and then said: "This is also possible, after all, the queen can only care about the second prince, otherwise she would not be so anxious after seeing the signal flare, she has to go out, and even does not hesitate to do it with the Royal Forest Army, hey, the queen should know something." ”
"No wonder the queen is so crazy and uninhibited, but ...... But the Queen Mother is very quiet, which is too ......"
"Too much to say?" Wen Qin knew what Wen Qi was going to ask.
"yes, don't you think it's weird?" Wenqi did not deny it.
"The Queen Mother is an old man after all, besides, the Queen Mother is also our speculation here, we don't know what happened outside, maybe the Queen Mother just didn't show it." Wen Qin guessed.
"Maybe, but this thing is too unreasonable, do you think there will be something big after today?" Wen Qi asked quietly.
"Hey, there is no common sense in this harem, what are they going to do, how can we guess it, forget it, it's dawn, we can survive it, even if it's the queen, it's not a big threat now." Wenqin seemed to feel the wind calming down.
"See General Zhao!" Just as Wenqin and Wenqi were still muttering quietly, a group of guards outside Kunning Palace immediately greeted the figure not far away.
General Zhao? Wen Qin and Wen Qi glanced at each other suspiciously when they heard this, and then they both turned in the direction of questioning, and Wen Qin and Wen Qi happened to see Zhao Yunxuan coming in disguise, and they were both surprised, and immediately leaned over and saluted: "Slave and maid see General Zhao!" ”
Zhao Yunxuan smiled slightly: "The brothers have worked hard, and the two girls have also worked hard, please get up!" ”
"Thank you, General Zhao!" The Imperial Guards and Wenqin Wenqi both stood up in thanks, and the Imperial Guards immediately returned to their alert state.
And after Wenqi and Wenqin glanced at each other, both of them were confused, and their faces were full of puzzlement, didn't General Zhao accompany the emperor to the northwest? And I heard that he was also injured, but now he appeared here unharmed, and he came in disguise in this harem, which ...... Is this really a big deal? But looking at General Zhao's expression, it didn't look very similar, Wenqin and Wenqi were entangled.
Zhao Yunxuan didn't talk to Wen Qin and the others first, but directly asked the guards about the situation here, and the guards reported truthfully, and Wen Qin and Wen Qi quietly looked at Zhao Yunxuan in surprise, as if they had seen something new.
Zhao Yunxuan seemed to see their doubts and hesitation, and after listening to the guard's reply with a slight smile, he said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's strange for you two to see General Ben?" (To be continued.) )
