Chapter 341: Entering the palace in the middle of the night
The other party didn't speak, just picked her up and walked up quickly, until he entered the Tingfeng Courtyard and closed the door, Wen Xuan uncovered the hat, revealing his somewhat red cheeks and bloodshot eyes.
Ling'er saw that there seemed to be five finger marks on his reddened cheeks, as if he had been slapped by someone, and she touched his face distressedly, "What's wrong?" Did anyone hit you? ”
Wen Xuan tilted his head slightly to avoid her hand, "It's nothing." ”
He walked to the table and sat down and poured a few cups of tea, and Ling'er walked up to him: "Wenxuan, what's going on in the palace?" 0How did you get out? You won't be criticized when you come back, right? ”
"No, I'll let the stand-in stay over there."
Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, as long as he came back, she was happy, and she also sat down: "Are you hungry?" Would you like to have something to eat? ”
Wen Xuan glanced up at her, his eyes flickered a little, and he turned his eyes away again: "Ling'er, I ......"
"What's wrong?"
"The concubine wants me to ascend the throne."
Ling'er was silent, this was expected, but it came too suddenly, which made her a little at a loss.
"My father ordered the eldest brother to be executed this morning, but he found that the eldest brother had escaped, and he was only a stand-in left in the prison."
Ling'er exclaimed: "That...... Then he's not going to make a comeback, is he? ”
Wen Xuan clenched the teacup: "Definitely, my eldest brother has a violent personality, a ruthless heart, and a strong sense of revenge, the last time the ministers and the Imperial Forest Army favored me, I was afraid that he would kill him after he ascended the throne." Let him escape this time, the ministers are panicked and anxious, and they are in danger, and the harem queen is eyeing him again, and the border war is constantly ......"
Look at his brows furrowed. The whole person was so sad that he was a few years older, Ling'er was very distressed, but he didn't know what he could do for him? I had to get up and hug him. I hope to give him some strength and some comfort.
Wen Xuan, who was sitting, hugged Ling'er's waist, closed his eyes and leaned on her arms, listening to his urn voice and said, "Ling'er, is it okay to enter the palace with me?" ”
Ling'er's body stiffened, she couldn't help but tighten the strength in her hand, Wen Xuan raised his head and looked up at her: "Ling'er." I have big brother's eyeliner by my side, he must know about you, maybe he's hiding somewhere watching us right now.
I can't let him hurt you. No matter where I send you, I don't feel at ease, I want you to follow me, so that I can see you anytime and anywhere to feel at ease, Ling'er. Come with me into the palace. Good no good? ”
Ling'er looked down at him, she had imagined countless possibilities, and she had also imagined countless ways to enter the palace, or ways to refuse, but now those plans were completely useless. Looking at his haggard and anxious face, she couldn't bear to say that word.
Ling'er nodded slightly, Wen Xuan was so happy that he pulled her down and restrained her in his arms and kissed her fiercely, his kiss was so crazy and intense. The shock made her so dark that she had nowhere to stay, so she had to hug him tightly.
After a long time. Wen Xuan slowly let go of her, seeing that her face was flushed and her eyes were confused, he was very different in his heart, and he really wanted to eat her now, but the enemy was now, and now was not the time to do such a thing.
He stroked her face and looked into her eyes: "Ling'er, I originally wanted to suppress the eldest brother from successfully ascending the throne after completing his father's funeral, and then welcome you into the palace with the grandest ceremony in the world, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and the whereabouts of the eldest brother are unknown, I can't give you a name when I enter the palace this time, you ...... Can you blame me? ”
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Actually, I don't mind the name, I just don't want to see you welcome other women into the door one by one, and I have to watch you and them upside down without saying half a word, I don't want to share you with others, do you understand?" ”
Wen Xuan's heart stirred, and he hugged her tightly again: "I know, I will find a way to catch the eldest brother and stabilize the situation, and everything will be fine when the time comes, believe me, I will do it." ”
Ling'er leaned on him and didn't speak, when he said that he wanted her to follow him anytime and anywhere, she guessed that the emperor had just died, and Wen Xuan wanted to keep filial piety, how could he get married immediately? What's more, how could the harem concubines follow him anytime and anywhere? If you want to follow her at any time, you can only be a palace maid, alas, that's it, since I decided that he why not try?
Late that night, Wen Xuan covered Ling'er with a wide black cloak, took her to ride a white horse all the way into the city gate, and dismounted in front of the palace gate.
Wen Xuan led Ling'er forward but was stopped by the soldiers, he showed a jade card, the other party immediately knelt down when he saw it, Wen Xuan lowered his voice and pulled Ling'er into the palace gate quickly.
The palace in the middle of the night is particularly majestic and magnificent, but it is hung everywhere with white cloth, and it looks like snow from a distance, and the palace maids and eunuchs who come and go are also wearing linen and wearing filial piety, bowing their heads and walking quickly, no one dares to stop for half a minute, and no one talks out loud, and the atmosphere of the whole palace is particularly depressing and heavy.
Not long after they entered the palace gate, a young eunuch half-bent over and whispered: "Oh, Lord Wang, you can count it back, Concubine De is furious, go over and take a look!" ”
Wen Xuan hesitated slightly, turned back to Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you go to the Yongning Palace where I temporarily live with Xiao Jianzi first, stay in the palace and don't walk around, I'll go to the concubine and come back soon." ”
Then he said to the little eunuch: "Xiao Jianzi, this is Ling'er, you take her to Yongning Palace and hand her over to Qingxiu, so that Qingxiu will guard her every step of the way." After you go back, you will close the palace gate, and no one will be allowed to enter without my order, even the queen, remember, she is going to lose half a hair, and this king will definitely copy your nine clans. ”
Xiao Jianzi was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Yes, yes, the slave obeys the order." ”
Wen Xuan turned around and hugged Ling'er hard, and then left in a hurry. When Wen Xuan walked away and saw no one, Xiao Jianzi slowly got up from the ground, he looked at Ling'er curiously and secretly, Ling'er looked up at him, he immediately shrank his neck and lowered his head: "Little master, the slave will guide you the way." ”
Xiao Jianzi is respectful to Ling'er and leads the way in front, and when he meets other palace maids and eunuchs halfway, he will straighten his waist slightly, and when others see him, they will make way for him and call him Gonggong Jian.
Ling'er followed and watched, thinking to herself that the people in the palace were all so high and low? With this little Jianzi leading the way, and because it was late at night, Ling'er successfully arrived at the Yongning Palace that Wen Xuan said.
Entering the palace gate, Xiao Jianzi immediately let people close the palace door and latched, he looked back and saw Ling'er standing in front of him intact, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Little master, this is the Yongning Palace where the prince lives temporarily, but after a few days the prince ascends the throne, he will move to the Qianqing Palace, please come with me." ”
The two walked to the front of the hall, and several palace maids came out of it, led by a big palace maid in her twenties with a delicate face and dignified manners, her voice was soft and steady, and she sounded very comfortable: "Xiao Jianzi, why did you come back alone?" The prince? (To be continued......)
