Chapter VIII Entrustment
Emperor Xuan of Jin walked away with an angry face - he asked her if she still wanted something, and she was good! Hell-bent on death!
Father-in-law Gao hurriedly followed with an "ouch", only to glance at her with a complicated expression when he staggered shoulders with Xie Zhen.
In the end, it was Yan Ye who remained.
"Niangniang's recklessness really makes the poor Dao admire." He smiled, now that there were only the two of them in the hall, he seemed much more comfortable, and he was not as restrained as Fang Cai when talking and laughing.
Xie Hao smiled slightly, no longer pretentious, and sat on the main seat casually.
"The comprehension of the Taoist master also amazed Hongu." She spoke, but she didn't look at Yan Ye, she only lowered her eyes and stroked her nails dyed with phoenix juice, "This palace just said a word, and the Taoist chief knew how to answer, so understanding, no wonder the emperor can value it." ”
"That's wrong." Yan Ye shook his head slowly when he heard this.
"Oh?" Xie Zhen raised his eyebrows, only then did he look at him, and said unhappily: "Now there are two people here, the Taoist chief and the main palace, do the Taoist chief still have to be with the palace and the snake?" ”
She spoke bluntly. Yan Ye couldn't help but laugh and said, "Niangniang has wronged the poor Dao. Poor people have always been sincere, and the mother said that the poor way is hypocritical, doesn't it hurt people? ”
"Really? That being the case, the Taoist chief said, what is wrong with the sentence of this palace? Xie Hao looked at him with blazing eyes.
Yan Ye said: "Niangniang said that the poor way is empathetic, and the poor way feels well deserved. It's just that Niangniang said that the emperor values the poor way, so the poor way feels that the mother is wrong. ”
"Why?" Xie Zhen was puzzled.
Yan Ye said with a straight face: "It's just because the emperor doesn't value the poor Dao person, but the emperor values the three Qings and the pill." ”
"What do you mean?" Xie Zhen frowned.
"The emperor just needs a person who believes in Sanqing and can refine pills, as for whether this person is called Yan Ye or Yan Hua or Yan Shu, it doesn't matter." Yan Ye said with a smile: "Niang Niang is smart, I think I should be able to understand the meaning of poor Dao." ”
Xie Zhen was silent.
Yan Ming, as the king of a country, knows that the people's will can carry the boat and overturn the boat, so he has always been benevolent, but not all the will can be accepted and obeyed by the people, when there is a voice of opposition from the people, it is necessary for Yan Ye to come forward and offer auspiciousness, saying that the emperor's actions are in accordance with the will of heaven, so as to appease the people. In the end, it's nothing more than a royal measure.
Xie Zhen glanced at Yan Ye and said lightly: "Dao Chief, you know that you have committed the crime of disrespect as you just said, and you should be beheaded according to the law." If this palace sues you in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that you, the Taoist chief, will really change someone named Yan Hua and Yan Shu to be the one. ”
"The mother laughed." Yan Ye was not nervous and scared at all because of her words, and only said leisurely: "There is no one else here except Niangniang and Poor Dao, if Niangniang sues me, when the emperor confronts Poor Dao, Poor Dao will naturally not admit it, Niangniang is just empty words, and the emperor may not believe it." ”
Even if the emperor doesn't believe it at this time, it doesn't mean that he doesn't doubt it in his heart. From now on, you will be suspicious everywhere, and your future days will not be too easy. Xie Hao sneered.
Yan Ye frowned and was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What Niangniang said is extremely true. It was the poor road who lost his words for a while, so that Niangniang grabbed the handle. But ......"
His eyes flickered, the bitter expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and a sly smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Poor Dao firmly believes that Niangniang will not do this." ”
Sure enough, he is a smart man. Xie Hao's eyes showed appreciation, and he deliberately embarrassed him and said, "Dao Leader believes in this palace like this? ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Yan Ye asked rhetorically: "Trust is mutual, since Niangniang believes in Poor Dao, then Poor Dao naturally believes in Niangniang." ”
Xie Zhen laughed, "When did Bengong say that he believed in the Taoist?" Did the Taoist have a dream last night? ”
When Yan Ye heard this, he pretended to sigh melancholy, "It turned out that the poor road had misunderstood." In this case, the poor road inevitably has to ask more, since the mother does not believe in the poor way, why should she entrust the life of the servant girl to the poor road? ”
At this point, it would be no fun to test each other like this.
Xie Zhen pursed her lips and smiled: "Why did the Dao Chief give the Dagger to the Dao Chief, why did the Dao Leader entrust her to the Dao Chief. ”
"Oh. It turned out to be because of the dagger. Yan Ye nodded, and said: "Since you have talked about that dagger, then please ask Niangniang to forgive the sin of being poor and making your own claims." ”
"Oh?" Xie Zhen raised an eyebrow and motioned for him to continue.
"The poor Taoist view of the current situation, knowing that the emperor tried his best to suppress the Xie family, I thought that Niangniang might not be spared, so he specially gave a dagger to let Niangniang use it for self-defense." Yan Ye's words were pertinent.
Xie Zhen only let out a chuckle.
"Lies are repeated." She smiled and shook her head.
Yan Ye's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Xie Hao's eyes were bright, as if she had seen through him, "That dagger is not intended for the self-defense of the palace, but for the self-judgment of the palace when it is tortured, right?" ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my mother." Yan Ye smiled bitterly.
Although Xie Hao demolished him, he didn't intend to embarrass him, so he smiled and said: "Although this dagger is useless in this palace, the good intentions of the Taoist leader, this palace still understands it." ”
"It's too much of a poor road." Yan Ye sighed and said, "Fang Cai's act of asking the emperor to give him wine is really fearless, which makes Poor Dao admire." ”
"Alright." Xie Hao raised her hand to interrupt him, "I've heard enough flattering words in this palace's life. If the Taoist really respects the main palace, then please treat and take care of the maid on behalf of the main palace! ”
After Xie Hao finished speaking, he sighed faintly: "This palace doesn't ask why the Taoist chief helps the main palace, just because the main palace is now in prison, whether the Taoist chief is out of sympathy for the main palace or has other plans, the main palace can't promise the Taoist chief anything now." Today's entrustment and invitation, only the next life is reported to the Taoist. ”
"Niangniang's words are serious, and the poor road should protect her thoroughly." Yan Ye bowed slightly and bowed his hand.
Xie Hao bowed her head slightly, didn't say anything more, turned her head and called out loudly, "Tan'er." ”
Tan'er, who was hiding in the tea room, heard the voice and hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Niangniang, the emperor is gone?" She didn't care that there was another person in the hall, so she only anxiously pulled Xie Hao's sleeve and looked at her carefully, "Are you okay?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
"I'm fine." Xie Hao comforted her softly, reached out and gently pulled out the sleeve she was holding in the palm of her hand, and coughed lightly: "You should also pay attention, there are still people." ”
"I'm also worried about my mother! But it's okay if you're okay, it's okay. Tan'er's eyes were a little wet, and she wiped her eyes indiscriminately by turning around, and then she saw another person standing in the hall with a smile.
"Dao, Dao Chief?" She was surprised, "Why are you still ......?"
Tan'er's words paused, and thinking of the dagger he had hidden in the food box and sent in with his own hand, a trace of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart.
"Is there anything you are doing here?" She took a step to the left, blocked Xie Zhen behind her, lowered her voice, and whispered to Xie Zhen: "Niangniang, when did the emperor leave?" Why didn't you call me in earlier? The Taoist chief has ill intentions, in case he designs to frame his mother, how can he be born? ”
Xie Zhenwan'er, "Didn't you praise him as good as a god at the beginning?" Why is it said that he has ill intentions again? ”
Tan'er's face turned red and argued, "That's not because I didn't know that he secretly hid a dagger in the food box at that time!" Who knows what he had in mind when he hid the dagger in it! ”
Because it was in the same room, the master and servant didn't deliberately lower the volume when they spoke, so Yan Ye could listen to everything that should be listened to and what should not be listened to, and he could also understand Xie Zhen's joke, but because the words were more or less about the girl's admiration, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb with his eyes, nose, nose and heart. At this time, when he heard Tan'er say that he had bad intentions, he couldn't hold his breath a little, and couldn't help but defend himself: "Miss Tan'er really misunderstood the poor way. The gift of the dagger by the poor road was really out of kindness, not with any ulterior motives. ”
Tan'er snorted, her eyes widened, her hands crossed her waist, and she made it clear that she didn't believe his words.
Yan Ye sighed a little helplessly and said, "Niangniang, you can talk to Miss Tan'er about it!" ”
Xie Zhen couldn't help but laugh when she saw him looking unbearable, but she was a lot relieved in her heart - she thought that Tan'er would not suffer any grievances in the future.
She stretched out her hand and pulled Tan'er, and said softly, "Tan'er, you listen to me first." ”
Tan'er looked at her calm expression, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and murmured, "Niangniang." ”
Xie Zhen smiled slightly, "Tan'er, I have just asked the emperor for permission to leave the palace, you can go with the Taoist today!" ”
"Allow me to leave the palace?" Tan'er's eyes widened in surprise, "Why does Niangniang want me to leave the palace?" Why should I go with the same path? ”
Xie Zhen winked at her, and said with a smile: "You are not young anymore, as your master, I naturally want to find you a good family." If you're doing well, I'll be able to feel at ease. ”
Her voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone in the hall.
Yan Ye's face was slightly red, he reached out to his lips and coughed lightly, reminding: "Niangniang, Poor Dao is a Taoist priest. ”
"Hongu knows." Xie Hao glared at him, "What's wrong with the Taoist priest?" Can't a Taoist priest marry a wife and have children? How did the little Taoist priest come from? ”
How can this be compared? It's just nonsense! And he only promised to protect Miss Tan'er, but he didn't say that he wanted to marry Miss Tan'er! Yan Ye was angry and anxious, speechless and choked for a while, only flicked his sleeves angrily and turned his back.
Tan'er was sensitive, and heard the deep meaning of her words, and said hurriedly: "Why is Niangniang going to send me out?" What does it mean that I have a good life, so that my mother can feel at ease? Then if I leave the palace, where will I go? ”
"Where can I go?" Xie Zhen smiled: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay here for the rest of my life." ”
If you die in this palace, you can be regarded as staying here for the rest of your life, right? She's not cheating on Tan'er.
