vs 61 Last resort
Every year on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Emperor Jingxi will hold a grand sacrifice ceremony, in this sacrifice ceremony, he will sacrifice to heaven with the best written words among the ministers of the court and China, in order to represent the most pious prayer of the Son of Heaven.
When the words were burned, the emperor would order the priests to cast spells to communicate with the gods, and then ask a group of eunuchs to help them, and ask the heavens to pass the hands of these eunuchs and write the words of the gods on a piece of paper, which is what this pious emperor believes in the most!
Superstitious Taoism, pet Fangshi! This was originally the point that she hated and shamelessly hated the king of a country the most, but she had to use this to save the Yang family.
"Although using this is not a righteous and bright light, and it has wronged my grandfather, but it works for the emperor who is stubborn and self-serving, since it works for him, let the Taoist priest tell him the truth!" Han Ling said.
"But the Taoist priests believed by the emperor, including Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie, have all been bought by Yan Xiang's father and son." Xu Shuxuan said.
"There are not only two Taoist priests in this world, Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie."
"Do you mean, the emperor's newly sealed Concubine Xiangniang?" Xu Shuxuan smiled, "She is just a harem concubine, and she can't replace the position of the national teacher." ”
"It doesn't have to be for her to take the place of the national teacher, as long as the things that the national teacher handed over to the emperor can pass through her hands."
Xu Shuxuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Han Ling's extraordinarily bright eyes with a slightly playful look, he couldn't help but feel his heart brighten, as if he understood what she meant. Every year at the sacrificial ceremony, the emperor will choose a spirit girl, and this spirit girl will convey what the gods wrote, if this year's spirit girl is this Xiangfei Niangniang, then the national teacher Tao Zhongwen Fu Ping divination out of the paper will indeed pass through her hands.
"You mean to hide people's eyes and ears, and adjust the ......" He smiled slightly in surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch Han Ling's nose, "The little girl is so smart!" However, it is also dangerous to do this, there will be many pairs of eyes watching at the sacrificial ceremony, are you not afraid that your Aunt Qingluo will be found by exposing her horse's feet? ”
Han Ling, who had had his nose shaved, couldn't help but feel a pounding in his heart, and his moist cheeks were slightly flushed. She whispered: "My Aunt Qingluo was sent to the palace by my father, and my father colluded with the national teacher Tao Zhongwen, they will treat Aunt Qingluo as their own, and they are in the inner garden of the palace." They also want to control a harem woman who can win the heart of the emperor, so to speak, they will be happy to let Aunt Qingluo use a qiē trick to confuse the emperor, the emperor is happy, and it is also beneficial to them! ”
"Why are you so sure that your Aunt Qingluo will help the Yang family? Nearest the king nearest the gallows. Even if she is favored again, if she accidentally angers the emperor against the scales, I am afraid that what she will suffer is not only a fall from grace or even a lonely death in the cold palace. ”
The red face in the deep palace is the easiest to wither, especially in today's holy harem, I have never heard of a concubine who has been favored for more than three years, and today I like the new and hate the old, and no matter how beautiful a woman is pampered by him for a few days, there is no freshness, and she will abandon it like a screen.
Han Ling thought for a while, looked at Xu Shuxuan's eyes, but replied with great certainty: "Aunt Qingluo, she will be favored." At least if the emperor still believes in Taoism...... Well, as for why am I sure she will help us? ”
She suddenly fell silent, did she want to tell the eldest young master, Aunt Qingluo's unbearable situation in the Guangning Bo Mansion? A woman who has the status of a noble concubine on the surface, but in fact lives like that......
She gave that woman a chance to take revenge and the ability to survive, and she had no reason to refuse her request, not to mention that Aunt Qingluo was such a person! In her previous life, although she never found out her true origin, judging from her grandfather's pity and love for Aunt Qingluo, this woman's perfection is trustworthy.
Yes, in her previous life, she found out from the mouths of the subordinates of Guangning Bofu. Grandpa's favor for that woman was even better than that of his own sisters-in-law, but it's a pity that grandpa died too early, when he died. She's only two years old!
Xu Shuxuan saw that her eyes were darkened, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, so she changed the topic and said, "Ah Ling, are you hungry?" ”
"Huh?" Han Ling was still very sensitive to this title, especially when she heard Xu Shuxuan call her like this, the kind and familiar memories of her past life seemed to reappear in front of her.
"So many words have been said. You must be hungry, what you like to eat, I'll let the kitchenette make it for you. ”
The eldest young master and his stepmother are respectful on the surface, but they are not harmonious, when Wei Guogong is not in the mansion, the eldest young master is also dining alone in the listening rain building, and sometimes the fifth young master will come to accompany him. She knows that there is a small kitchen in the rain building, but she doesn't know who is on duty in the small kitchen?
"I like to eat osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake, sugar steamed cheese, as well as crispy chicken legs, jade rice balls, ......" Han Ling said seven or eight kinds of pastries and dishes in one breath, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, his eyes were shining, like a gluttonous cat!
Xu Shuxuan smiled, summoned a round-faced and honest girl, and ordered the eight kinds of pastries and dishes she said, and the girl immediately nodded and replied: "Ah Shu remember, the eldest young master will wait a minute, Ah Shu will ask Mother Tian in the small kitchen to make it and send it over!" ”
After the girl finished speaking, she ran away with an innocent smile on her face!
Han Ling looked at the girl's back, and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, Auntie?
Yes, when she first entered the Wei Mansion in her previous life, Xu Shuxuan had a maid named Ah Shu by her side, but this girl didn't seem to stay with the eldest young master for long, and then disappeared mysteriously, and then the eldest princess pulled out a few maids for the eldest young master, but she didn't stay for long, so she left, disappeared, so that no one dared to come to him to serve for a long time, and she was only later arranged to serve by his side!
"What's wrong? Ah Ling, what do you see that sister doing? Xu Shuxuan asked jokingly.
Han Ling came back to his senses, was stunned for a while, and replied: "I think that sister is very kind-hearted and should be a good person, the reason why the eldest young master will stay with her is also because she is a good person, right?" ”
Xu Shuxuan smiled slightly, Ah Shu is a very ordinary girl, simple-minded, unlike those maids in the Guogong Mansion who want to invite pets and flattery in front of their masters when they have a little look, they will try their best to get close to him at the first opportunity, or use bitter tricks to win his sympathy, and he is tired of those endless tricks in the back house, and keeping Ah Shu by his side is also to avoid some troubles.
"Ah Ling's vision is good, and he sees people very accurately! Sister Ashu is indeed a good person! Xu Shuxuan praised.
At this time, Ashu's voice came: "Big young master." Are you complimenting me? ”
As her voice came, Han Ling saw her bring over a large jade plate, with a total of two plates of dishes and two pastries on it!
"Wow! Steamed cheese with sugar, crispy chicken thighs. Master, I'm not welcome to eat first! After Han Ling smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to grab the big chicken leg with her hand, and when her little hand reached over. Xu Shuxuan had already put it in her bowl with chopsticks.
Han Ling smiled embarrassedly, feeling that his demeanor just now seemed to be a little vulgar, especially in front of the elegant young master, it was too dwarfed, but in the past few days, he had been running around for the affairs of his grandfather's family, and he really hadn't eaten a good meal.
"Young Master, this is the porridge you want!" When she hung her head shyly, Ah Mei shouted happily again and served the last bowl of porridge.
Han Ling looked at the porridge that was so white that there was no color at all that it was placed in front of Xu Shuxuan, and he couldn't help but feel sour. put down the dishes and chopsticks, and put a crispy chicken leg into Xu Shuxuan's bowl, and said in an extremely stubborn tone: "The eldest young master eats chicken legs!" ”
Xu Shuxuan saw that her eyes were wide open, looking very innocent, and with a hint of expectation, he couldn't help but smile and picked up the chopsticks in his hand.
At this time, there was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Ah Shu's eyes.
She said: "Little sister Ah Ling, our eldest young master can't eat chicken!" ”
"Why can't you eat chicken?" Han Ling looked at Ah Shu and asked.
There was no timid look on Ah Shu's face, but she replied with a little embarrassment: "The doctor said." The eldest young master's grandfather died violently after eating chickens, and the eldest young master's illness is somewhat similar to that of his grandfather, so he can't eat chicken! ”
"Ashu!" Xu Shuxuan suddenly interrupted, "You go down first!" ”
Ah Shu sighed badly. She shouldn't have mentioned the eldest young master's grandfather, but when she saw that the eldest young master loved this girl so much, she thought that she could not shy away from it, not to mention that this girl was just an ignorant child.
Ah Shu said yes ashamedly, and walked out of the door dejectedly.
"It's because I don't like chicken!" Xu Shuxuan finally explained, and then showed her a gentle smile. picked up the bowl of porridge in front of him again, "Don't think about it anymore, eat your favorite sugar steamed cheese!" ”
"Wait-" Han Ling's eyes froze, as if he had discovered something, and he stopped Xu Shuxuan sharply, snatched the bowl of porridge, and ate a spoonful of it himself.
"What's wrong, Ah Ling?" Seeing that Han Ling's face suddenly became ugly, Xu Shuxuan asked in surprise.
The spoon in Han Ling's hand fell into the bowl with a thud.
"Young Master, do you have this porridge for your daily meal?" She asked with an uneasy look on her face.
Xu Shuxuan nodded in surprise.
How so? Isn't it porridge made in the kitchen? Why does even the porridge have the flavor of willow leaf peach and nasturtium?
Although the portion was very small and imperceptible, it still allowed Han Ling to taste it!
"Young Master, you can't eat this porridge, and don't eat it in the future!" Han Ling said with great fear.
No, even if there is no porridge, there may be something else! She had obviously reminded him not to eat anything related to peaches and lotuses, but she didn't think that the person who was hiding in the shadows and wanted to murder the eldest young master would use such a method!
Who the hell is she? Qin's mother? The eldest princess or someone else?
"Young Master, isn't there a credible person around you?" Han Ling suddenly burst into tears and asked bitterly.
At this time, Xu Moxuan suddenly broke into the small hall where they were eating, and said to Xu Shuxuan with a worried face: "Big brother, it's not good, last night, Yao Xian Ling was killed in the edict prison, and there are ......"
Xu Moxuan glanced at Han Ling, and his face became solemn and uneasy.
He said: "Yesterday, many jailers guarding the cell also died in the edict prison, as well as several general flag officers, and the Jinyi guards were killed and injured countless times! Early this morning, many notices were posted in the streets and alleys of the capital, offering rewards for the capture of the prisoner and a girl! ”
When Han Ling heard this, his hand shook, and the person stood up straight!
"Fifth Young Master, take me to the Imperial Prison, take me to the Imperial Prison!" Han Ling's heart gradually became frightened, why was it so fast? It's just what happened last night, why did it spread so quickly in the capital?
Han Ling could faintly think that it must be Yan Fan, he wanted to use her to frame the Xu family and detain the crime of harboring criminals on the eldest boy!
"It's too late, little sister Ah Jiu, even if I send you to prison now, it's useless!" As long as she is in Xu Moxuan's hands now, those people can detain him for the crime of robbing the prison!
"This matter started because of me, I don't want to affect you even if I die!" Han Ling knelt down steeply to Xu Moxuan, "Fifth Young Master, I beg you for one thing!" ”
"Hurry up! No matter what you do, my brother will promise you! Xu Moxuan said, and hurriedly went to pull Han Ling.
But he heard Han Ling say: "If the people from Dali Temple or the Criminal Department find out here, my identity can't be hidden, Fifth Young Master, you can kill me!" ”
Xu Shuxuan and Xu Moxuan were both startled and changed color in shock.
"It's impossible, I can't do this kind of thing! Girl, listen to me, you can't blame you for this, although the person who kidnapped you didn't show his true face with a hat, but they wouldn't have been so bold as to identify me as a prison robber! ”
Xu Moxuan said soothingly: "It's a big deal, I'll go with them, the clear ones will clear themselves, aren't you afraid that they will find out?" ”
"But success or failure lies in today, and I don't want to fail! The innocence of the Yang family, the innocence of the eldest young master and the fifth young master, can't be because of Ah Jiu'......"
Why did she forget about the time she spent with the eldest young master and return to the brocade prison?
Just when she was desperate and helpless and even avenged her death, Xu Shuxuan suddenly said: "Ah Ling, don't you know how to disguise?" (To be continued.) )
