Chapter 213: The Long Night

"But I still don't understand, it's reasonable for Concubine Wang to let the coachman poison the horses, but what about the poisonous weed in the clouds after Bowei, how did Concubine Leng let it in?" This is what Xu Youshan is puzzled about.

At the beginning, Hui and Xie Jing proposed to let Bowei Houyun be independently in charge by her, and she also wanted to divide it from the big whole of the Chu Palace, and "self-contained" to live their own small life, so at the beginning, Xu Youshan was strict about the rectification of Bowei Houyun, not only sent all the servants in the Chu Palace, but also cautious and cautious when selecting candidates for Bowei Houyun from her own companion room, so Xu Youshan and they have always been at ease with the strictness of Bowei Houyun. It was only after Mama Zhao discovered the red cloud grass in the clouds after Bowei, it was very unbelievable.

"I just can't figure out how that red cloud grass got into Powei Houyun, especially in the past two days, after Mother Wu checked all the people in Powei Houyun, they didn't find anything wrong at all."

Xu Youshan was very puzzled, but Xie Jing looked at her and smiled, which made Xu Youshan immediately unhappy, and her big eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and finally Xie Jing was embarrassed to tease her anymore, so she could only smile and say: "Once when the two of them came to greet you, did they accidentally get their clothes wet, and you let them go down to change their clothes?" ”

"Uh, yes." It was the first day of the new year, and according to the rules set by Xu Youshan, Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun did have to come to greet her, but it was raining heavily from the morning that day, and Xu Youshan had already sent someone to Luohuaxuan and Ramie Zhai to inform. said that the weather was bad today, so they were exempted from greeting.

But when it was Chen, Wang Nishang and Leng Xinyun still came. And the beautiful name is that the ceremony cannot be abolished, so Xu Youshan didn't have much to say, so she could only give tea and chat with the two of them for a while, and then she was ready to give an eviction order. But then, after the tea was served, I don't know what happened. The warm tea was all poured on Wang Nishang's body.

In this way, of course, Xu Youshan couldn't keep silent anymore, so she was busy and asked people to help Wang Nishang go down to change clothes. And this happened so suddenly. So Xu Youshan has always remembered it, so now as soon as Xie Jing mentions it, she remembers it, but ......, "What does this have to do with that red cloud grass?" Xu Youshan still didn't understand what Xie Jingti was doing at first. But under his increasingly teasing eyes. Xu Youshan slapped her head suddenly, and she was a little speechless for a long time.

"Now you know?" Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan funny.

"yes, got it." Xu Youshan nodded a little frustrated.

Isn't this an obvious thing, the red cloud grass is the one who took the opportunity to let people plant it in the flower garden when Wang Nishang went down to change clothes that day, after all, now from Xie Jing, Xu Youshan also knows that the red cloud grass reproduces quickly. Especially after successfully passing the juvenile stage next to the yellow wood, the vitality will become extremely strong. And the appearance is similar to the flower fern commonly found in the flower garden, so it is difficult to identify at all.

Moreover, in the flower garden where the red cloud grass was planted, it was a little remote in the Bowei Houyun, so there was no need for the gardeners to worry about it, and the servants were usually taken care of and removed from the weeds, so it was even more impossible for the servants to recognize the special plant in the corner, which was the famous poisonous weed Red Cloud, so it could take root in the Bowei Houyun so easily.

"That day, the princess went down to change her clothes, and it took a little time to come back, and on the way, her maids and mothers-in-law were very diligent in boiling water and serving water, and ran back and forth several times.

Xu Youshan was speechless, and then lamented again for her dead brain, but Xie Jing next to her reached out and rubbed her head, "Don't think too much about being stupid, worry about the more you think about it, the more stupid you become, if there is anything, it's better to ask a smart person." There was a doting look in Xie Jing's eyes, and it couldn't be more obvious, Xu Youshan naturally saw it as soon as she looked up.

"Your Highness, are you comforting me?" Xu Youshan blinked and looked at Xie Jing, but Xie Jing just sighed inexplicably, pressed her into his arms, and then leaned his good-looking chin on the top of her head, making Xu Youshan like a monk with a second elder, confused. But then no matter how Xu Youshan asked him why he sighed, Xie Jing stopped talking, so Xu Youshan also quieted down.

But then she hurriedly shook Xie Jing's hand as if she had thought of something, and asked, "However, Your Highness, since you now know that Concubine Leng's poison was caused by herself, what are you going to do with her, as well as Concubine Wang?" ”

"I've sent someone to stay there now, and no one is allowed to come or go, and I'll find a reason to say that she has been thinking about it behind closed doors in Luohua Xuan. And Xinyun's side, now we pretend not to know anything, anyway, now that I have let Nishang be confined, Xinyun will definitely wonder if I know something, and if Nishang confessed to me, I will not dare to act rashly in the future. As soon as he talked about these things, Xie Jing was no longer silent, but said to Xu Youshan carefully.

"Pretend you don't know? Why? However, after Xu Youshan heard this, she was confused by Xie Jing again.

"I think you also know, now Xinyun and Concubine Xian have always been in contact, so in many cases, through Xinyun, I can also let Concubine Xian know all the things I want her to know." Xie Jing said indifferently.

But after Xu Youshan heard this, she was a little stunned, according to the meaning of Xie Jing's words, it seems that Leng Xinyun had already revealed Xie Jing's movements to Concubine Xian. But although since Concubine Xian came to visit Leng Xinyun in the Chu Palace, Xu Youshan has been speculating that Leng Xinyun is afraid that she has been involved with Concubine Xian, but what she never expected was that her transaction with Concubine Xian had already included betrayal of Xie Jing.

And what kind of promise did Concubine Xian give Leng Xinyun to make Leng Xinyun willing to do this, she couldn't have known, as long as Xie Jing knew that she had betrayed him, then how could she still stay in the Chu Palace? How much does a person like Xie Jing hate others betraying him. Leng Xinyun has been by his side for so many years, it is impossible not to know.

Xu Youshan was puzzled, but she didn't open her mouth to ask Xie Jing at this time. She just frowned and thought for a long time but had no answer, then she gave up thinking again, and instead raised her eyes to look at Xie Jing, who was silent in thought, for a long time, until her eyes closed again.

Now it's late at night, and Xu Youshan has been waiting for Xie Jing for a long time in Bowei Houyun, and she doesn't know how many times she has been dozing, if she hadn't been too worried about him later. It won't just come to the empty mountain residence without alerting others. But later, although he waited for him in the wing room of the empty mountain residence and fell asleep again, he always had something in his heart. The sleep was unstable, so now he was nested in Xie Jing's arms, and after he didn't speak for a long time, Xu Youshan was eroded by the quiet and warm breath. Sleepiness came straight up. As soon as the eyes are closed, Zhou Gong will go.

And when Xie Jing came back to his senses from a long thought, what he saw was someone sleeping with grinding his teeth and a slight snoring in his arms.

"You're very generous." Xie Jing's eyes couldn't help but bend up, and the corners of his lips also raised a beautiful arc, he just hugged Xu Youshan and leaned on the side of the bed, looking at the child-like sleeping appearance of the person in his arms by the moonlight, and the smile lasted for a long time.

And tonight, the night is still long.

……

……

Recently, the palace has been very lively. The show is more than on stage, almost singing this side. That party appeared on the stage, and there was no meaning to rest at all, for example, this morning, Yuanyang Palace and Qiyun Palace made a fuss because of the new Huangshan Yunwu tea, although the matter is not big, that is, the female officials of the two palaces have been deadlocked in the Si Yu Mansion for a long time, but the characters behind them, as long as there are eyes, can see that it is the collision of the forces of Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

Although this matter was later handled properly by the head of the Imperial Mansion, and the matter did not make a big deal again, but like this, the people of the two palaces did not give in to each other for a little thing, but recently it has been staged one after another, and there is a trend of getting more and more intense, so that everyone in the palace is in danger recently, and they are silent.

Yuanyang Palace

"Niangniang, this is the Wen Aya that Yu Zhaoxuan just sent in, it is a dark red gold thread embroidered with cloud patterns, because the Si Yu Mansion sent someone to order it last time, so after Yu Zhaoxuan sent the new Wen Aya into the palace, he immediately sent it to us."

A palace maid wearing a cinnamon pink and blue makeup palace skirt, holding two Wen Aya with dark red and warm colors in her hands, looked at the ivory lotus root book case sitting in the green and white jade pine at this time, and said with a smile: "The people of the palace went to the Si Yu Mansion to make trouble a few times, but in the end, it was your words, which made the saint open the golden mouth, and sent Wen Aya to the palace this time, you chose it first, so that that one was angry." ”

"Hmph, what's so nice about that." When Concubine De heard this, she sneered: "This time, I just took advantage of the princess's momentum, so I just let the saint favor my side, and when the princess is not born in the future, if it is not the emperor's eldest grandson, it is estimated that it will be time for the virtuous concubine to fight back." When Concubine De said the word "virtuous concubine", the sneer on her face became even stronger, and no one dared to answer.

"Okay, since the things have been delivered, you can personally pack a horse and send it to the princess in a moment." Concubine De raised her eyes, and finally glanced at the two Wen Ayas with great satisfaction, and then instructed the palace maid in the pink and blue palace skirt.

"Yes, the slave knows." After the palace maid wearing a pink and blue palace skirt hurriedly saluted Concubine De, she was about to withdraw and prepare to send someone to send Wen Aya to King Li's mansion for a while, but at this time, there was a sound of announcement outside, and King Li Xie Yan came.

"See the mother, the son-in-law said goodbye to the mother." Xie Yan entered the hall, gave Concubine De a dignified salute, and greeted Concubine De. And after Concubine De saw Xie Yan, her originally cold face involuntarily became warm at this time, so that the palace maids and internal supervisors who only saw Concubine De's majestic side on weekdays couldn't help but be dazzled by Concubine De's glamorous smile again, only to find that Concubine De had personally got up, bypassed the bookcase, and helped Xie Yan up.

"Why did you come to the palace today, didn't you tell you to stay with the princess more if you have nothing to do, the princess is what you need to take care of the most at this time." Concubine De said that, but looking at Xie Yan's eyes were full of joy, originally, before Xie Yan got married and left the palace, even if the mother and son were in the palace together, it was not often seen, not to mention that now Xie Yan is still out of the palace, the number of times Concubine De sees Xie Yan is even rarer.

"Mother, the son was summoned into the palace by his father today to admire a posthumous work by Feng Shi, a master of the previous dynasty, so since he has entered the palace, how can he not come to greet his mother." Recently, Xie Yan has gained power, and he is loved by Emperor Zhou Hui, no matter what he does, he has to call Xie Yan to accompany him, which can be said to have given Xie Yan enough favor. And Xie Yan's current favored treatment, not long ago, was still only available to Xie Wen, but now, when Xie Yan was favored by Emperor Zhou Hui, Xie Yan could only be left out in the cold, no one paid attention, and this encounter was turned upside down, which can be described as fast and shocking.

Xie Yan helped Concubine De to sit down at the large table carved in pine stone and fragrant wood, and then continued to Concubine De: "And the princess has been mentioning her mother for the past two days, saying that she is physically inconvenient, otherwise she will definitely come to visit you in person." ”

"You two children, just have a good heart, I don't know what to say about you." Concubine De patted Xie Yan's hand, smiled gently and said to the others in the hall: "Okay, you all go down, and leave us two to talk alone." ”

"Yes." Everyone hurriedly saluted and retreated, not daring to have any delay, and after only Concubine De and Xie Yan were finally left in the hall, the expressions of the two of them who had been smiling and chanting changed together, especially Concubine De, whose gentle smile just now had already disappeared at this time, she asked Xie Yan with a calm face: "Is there something going on outside?" ”

"That's not true, but the concubine, in the past two days, I feel that my father's attitude towards Xie Wen seems to have softened, so I hurriedly came to ask you, in the harem in the past two days, has Concubine Xian made any moves?" Maybe now, the only candidate who can satisfy Emperor Zhou Hui is Xie Wen, so Emperor Zhou Hui's tolerance for Xie Wen is unprecedented, how long has it been since the Dragon Boat Festival, Emperor Zhou Hui actually has a softened attitude towards Xie Wen, not to mention that there are still their mother and son by the side to help the trouble, Emperor Zhou Hui should be more angry with Concubine Xian and Xie Wen.

But now it seems that they play a role, but it doesn't seem to be very big, Emperor Zhou Hui has a meaning of forgiveness to Xie Wen, which makes Xie Yan a little unexpected, and Zhou Huidi's tolerance for Xie Wen is so great that it also makes Xie Yan frightened, and in addition to being frightened, he has more resentment towards Xie Wen.
