Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Bolt from the Clear
The figure disappeared extremely quickly, leaving no trace, and when the two of them came out again, Qi Rui couldn't help but wonder if Fang Cai was dazzled.
Qi Rui said strangely: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, there can be such a well-trained shadow, I'm afraid that no one else dares except that one." But why is this dispatched? ”
Han Yun has been in contact with marching and fighting since he was a child, although he has also read a lot of books, but the most he can read is the book of soldiers. Seeing these shadows, he also thought that it should be the emperor's doing, and the emperor was afraid that he did not trust everyone
As the night deepened, there was hardly a sound to be heard in the quiet city of Beijing.
Before Qi Ming returned to the palace, he couldn't help but want to find the figure who had a similar aura to the person in his memory, and it wasn't until the curfew that the streets were empty and he stopped thinking
"The emperor still hasn't returned to the palace?" In the Yifeng Courtyard, the virtuous concubine who was already pregnant was full of worries at the moment.
Since the emperor was not in the palace and was known by Concubine He Xian after the matter was handled, she has been asking until now. The bangzi of the third watch has already sounded, but the Yifeng Courtyard is brightly lit.
The palace maid beside her comforted her and said: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor may think that the folk full moon night is fresh, and there are also people who stay longer." You should rest early, you just don't think about yourself and the prince in your belly. ”
When Concubine Xian heard this, she had no expression on her face, and she didn't feel happy at all, not even the slightest bit of joy. She stroked her stomach and muttered to herself, "So what, he doesn't care at all, but he hasn't seen it all day on a day like today." ”
The palace maid still persuaded in a low voice: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he hasn't stepped into the palace for a long time recently. Niangniang, you also know that in the several courtyards of this West Garden, the emperor has only stepped into the Yifeng Courtyard in the past few months. I'm afraid I'm tired today and go out for a walk to breathe, you should have rested. ”
Concubine Xian remembered another thing and said: "I don't know if it's safe today, I hope the emperor won't have any thoughts after this." ”
"Don't worry, even Chief Tang hasn't found out, this matter will be done steadily, and it should be stopped at this time." As soon as the palace maid's words fell, the person sent to inquire about the news from the front came in and replied: "Niangniang, the emperor has returned to the palace, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Concubine Xian nodded at this time, and asked again: "Did the emperor go back to the palace directly to rest or go elsewhere?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor went to Wen'an Zhai tonight."
Concubine Xian heard Wen Anzhai's three words, and her heart was numb and convulsed, she actually chose that place tonight, the emperor is now unwilling to even cover it up, obviously she has already been tempted, and now she wants to remember the beauty with great fanfare? Then don't blame me for being ruthless
"Mother, mother"
Concubine Xian stood up from the rich chair and stood quietly for a while before saying, "I'm fine, serve me and rest." She couldn't sleep until she changed into a tulle bedgown and lay on the soft bed
The time had passed, and Qi Ming was holding the purse in his hand like a lost thing and didn't want to let go. Wen Anzhai didn't know when a large Arhat bed was placed, and Qi Ming put the things in his hand on the pillow, wanting to fall asleep with the faint aroma.
On the second day, Qi Ming felt that it was rare to have a good night's sleep, and the knot in his heart became more and more obvious
A few days later, the news of An Xin's entry into the palace also reached the Bachelor's Mansion. Several elders of the Fu family seemed to have known about it for a long time, and they didn't react much. Mrs. Fu also specially ordered someone to tell Mrs. Fu to prepare a gift to send over, which is the meaning of the two families getting closer.
The news soon spread throughout the Fu family, including Fushengzhai. Fu Tianqing didn't have any special reaction when she heard it, and said in her heart, it was just another virtuous concubine and a concubine. She was curious about what agreement the An family had reached with the Zhongding Bofu, and the two families had rarely come together.
One is that the emperor is polite and the other is an in-law who has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and she can't figure out what the two families are exchanging. But before she could figure it out or take action, a thunderbolt suddenly fell and smashed on her head.
Empress Xu has been dead for nearly half a year, but at this time there is still news related to her.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the Xu family in Wenxian County was wiped out. An accident in a small county order family was not a major event that alarmed the capital, but this Xu family was the Xu family of Queen Xu. It is rumored that the Xu family was wiped out by a group of bandits hiding in the countryside of Wenxian County, who were refugees who fled from the arid land of the northwest, but fell into the countryside and became bandits.
Unfortunately, Nawen County also suffered from a drought this year, and when he was hungry to death, he started the idea of stealing the county magistrate's mansion again, and it was rumored that Xu County's magistrate was a little pedantic, and he found that the thief took the life of the whole family
After the Xu family went to Queen Xu, they also had a little daughter, who was pitiful in her cardamom years.
After just a few days, the anecdotes in the capital shifted from the draft to the Xu family's murder case, and for a while, everyone mourned the early death of Empress Xu.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and the murderer must be brought to justice on the spot
Fu Tianqing's news is closed, and no one will take the initiative to mention such a thing to her. Time passed like this, and another half a month passed, whether it was the draft or the murder, there should be a conclusion.
The emperor is the Tao, if he does not investigate the case of the Xu family, everything else will be postponed.
Some people are happy and some are worried about this news.
In the west garden of the palace, all the concubines who heard the news were relieved, and they all thought of finding a way to win the emperor's favor at this moment, and it was best to have a dragon heir like the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Shu, who was born in Zhongdingbo's Mansion, has always been a quiet place in Xiyuan, and has not moved around with her mother's family since she entered the palace, but has been familiar with Miss An of the Anguo Mansion for many years, and the two often exchange letters even if they are separated by the palace wall.
On this day, Concubine Shu, who had not sent a letter for a long time, finally sent a letter to the Anguo Mansion
An Xin looked at the few words on the letter, but her always calm and peaceful eyes were a little deep.
"Cut halfway", does the emperor want to push the boat down the river? Or is there something else going on? After thinking about it, she decided to go to An Guogong's study.
In the past few months, there have been a lot of things in the capital, first Xu Hou was beaten into the cold palace, and then he died inexplicably, and then the Fu family also came out to jump, but now it seems to have gone around to the origin again. An Xin couldn't help but wonder, could the whole thing be related to the cause of Empress Xu's death?
