Chapter 168: Between Life and Death
She was afraid that she would meet Xie Kun coming back halfway, so she quietly quickened her pace, stepped out of Shoukang Palace like a wind, and immediately chose a corner path to walk.
In the meantime, the trees and bushes, and from time to time there are palace people walking, Shen Rong followed the Empress Dowager Qi, and those palace people saw her, and they would respectfully salute her.
She can't go out of the palace, she can't go far, and she can't stay in a crowded place, if she meets a concubine, she always has to deal with it.
Although Shen Rong stayed in the palace for a few days, the harem was so big that she didn't know everything.
She stopped, looked around, and was looking for a place where she could stay for a while, and she walked to the wrong place, and found a deserted palace courtyard, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
She looked up, and the plaque of the palace had fallen halfway, swaying, as if it was about to fall at any moment.
The vermilion lacquer-colored palace gate had already lost its color, and she looked inward, but she had not yet stepped into the palace.
In the deep palace, there are some places that you can go to, and some places you can't go.
Shen Rong still knew these truths, so she just stood at the side door of the palace gate.
*****************************
In the bright and spacious imperial study, the emperor smiled with a smile, patted Xie Kun's shoulder heavily, and praised: "You have suffered you in the northwest town in the past few years, tell me, what do you want me to reward you." β
Xie Kun's narrow eyes lifted slightly, and the corners of his lips pursed: "Your Majesty, there is really something here that you want to ask the emperor to be the master of the minister." β
The emperor raised his eyebrows and motioned for Xie Kun to continue.
Xie Kun knelt on the ground with his hands clenched into fists: "The minister has passed the age of the weak crown, and when he reaches the age of marrying a wife, he wants the emperor to be the master of the minister and ask for a marriage." β
When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and then Lang Lang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has already talked to me about your marriage, you can think about it, I am also happy, there are a lot of daughters to be married in the palace of the ministers of the court, and the daughter of the Ministry of Rites is suitable for you......"
"Your Majesty's ......" Xie Kun knelt on the ground, interrupted the emperor's words, deliberately paused for a while, and said: "The minister actually already has a favorite person, ask the emperor for permission to marry the minister." β
As he spoke, he kowtowed.
The emperor raised his hand: "You get up first." Then he said quietly: "You tell me which daughter of the house is fortunate to win your favor." β
Xie Kun pursed his lips and chuckled, as if he was a little shy: "If you go back to the emperor, it is Shen Rong, the daughter of Lord Shen Pingcheng, who was the Jiangbei Propaganda Envoy, and was just named the lord of Jing County by the emperor a few days ago. β
"Lord ...... Jingxian County" The emperor's faint exit did not make waves, and he couldn't hear what the tone was.
Xie Kun nodded hesitantly, and bowed his head: "Ask the emperor to marry the ministers." β
The emperor stared at Xie Kun for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "I know that the county lord of Jing is virtuous and intelligent, but it's a pity that ...... The county lord of Jing has already made a promise. β
Xie Kun's long and narrow eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he instantly returned to normal, and he raised his eyes in disbelief: "Promised...... The minister also inquired before, saying that the lord of Jing County has not yet married, and I don't know which prince of the house has such a blessing. β
"Xie Yu knelt in front of me earlier and begged to marry the county lord of Jing, I have already given them a marriage, since you have this thought, I see that the daughter of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is good, and I will make the decision for you in this marriage."
Xie Kun lost his wife and broke his army, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was the emperor's person and married his daughter, so he was still sent to monitor him, but Xie Kun couldn't say a word.
Reluctantly, he agreed.
The emperor didn't keep him, and after deciding the matter, he waved his hand to let him step down.
Xie Kun, who came out of the imperial study, seemed to have come out of hell, his iron face was cold, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Even the palace people avoided it and didn't dare to step forward.
He strode with a black face and returned to Shoukang Palace viciously.
No one dared to stop the palace maids of Shoukang Palace, so they let Xie Kun into the main hall.
When the Empress Dowager Qi saw him enter the palace, she had a blue face, and her whole mind was raised, and she hurriedly waved her hand and sent away the palace people who were waiting in the palace.
He asked, "Kun'er, what's wrong?" The emperor disagrees? β
Xie Kun's face turned dark, and his voice was thick and cold: "Imperial Grandmother, you miscalculated!" As early as a few days ago, Xie Yu secretly asked the emperor for instructions! Now, Shen Rong is Xie Yu's fiancΓ©e! β
"What?!" Empress Dowager Qi was furious when she heard this, and her palm slapped heavily on the octagonal table with five phoenixes carved from pineapple wood.
She did everything she could, but she didn't expect that Prince Ying's Mansion would snatch Shen Rong away first.
Her eyebrows were high, and the corners of her mouth twitched suddenly: "This palace wants to see how they marry a dead man!" β
"Imperial Grandmother, Shen Rong lives in your palace, if something happens...... Xie Kun couldn't help but ask.
But seeing the Empress Dowager Qi, she snorted: "The county lord of Anning didn't just leave, she hurt Shen Rong, and it has nothing to do with the palace." β
Empress Dowager Qi wants to see that Shen Rong is dead, how can these two families go together!
Empress Dowager Qi showed a grim smile and raised her voice and shouted, "Mama Lin! β
But after a while, Mama Lin hurriedly entered the main hall, and before she could salute, she was asked by the Empress Dowager Qi: "Where is the county lord Jing?" Call her over! β
Mama Lin was shocked by Empress Dowager Qi's face, she responded cautiously, and walked outside the hall to ask the palace people to summon Shen Rong.
After the palace people came over to communicate with Mama Lin with a nervous expression, Mama Lin's face turned white all of a sudden.
When he returned to the palace, he knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager Qi, and cried: "The Empress Dowager, the county lord Jing is not in the house, the palace people replied that they had been away for a while, saying that the county lord Jing wanted to walk alone, so he didn't let people follow......
Mama Lin's voice was low, for fear of disaster to the fish in the pond.
Empress Dowager Qi's face changed greatly, "Leaving alone?" How did those palace maids do things! Fight fifty boards, and throw them all to the Huanyi Courtyard! β
Mama Lin responded tremblingly, and was about to quit.
Empress Dowager Qi raised her sharp voice again and scolded: "Don't go find it yet!" She can still turn the sky out! β
Mama Lin hurriedly withdrew from the hall and secretly pinched a cold sweat for herself.
I really can't figure out how the Empress Dowager Qi is still obedient to the county lord of Jing, how can her face change in a blink of an eye.
Mama Lin sighed, sure enough, she was like a tiger.
She dispatched the people of Shoukang Palace to hurry up to find someone.
Shen Rong, who had been hiding next to the palace, couldn't hear the movement of Shoukang Palace, and his heart was unsteady.
She hesitated for a long time, and walked out cautiously, ready to probe the wind first.
She was hiding in such a remote place, and she didn't know that the people in Shoukang Palace were secretly looking for her.
She still walked in the direction of Shoukang Palace.
Look around from time to time in case something goes wrong.
She turned back the way she came, and went back from the most remote road, and the worst plan was that the emperor did not agree, and the Empress Dowager Qi must have sent people to look for her.
But Shen Rong didn't even hear the slightest stir.
Only then did she tentatively go to Shoukang Palace.
I didn't know that I was approaching death step by step.
The most remote path she walked, and she was about to come to an end, and she would soon be able to see Shoukang Palace.
She kept beating the drum in her heart.
Walk cautiously.
She walked a few more steps, and suddenly a palace maid walked in front of the intersection, Shen Rong remembered her, she was a person from Shoukang Palace.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid turned back again, looked at her, her body was slightly blessed, approached her, showed an extremely weird smile, and said respectfully: "Lord Jing, you are back." β
There is definitely something wrong with this person!
Shen Rong knew in his heart, guessed one or two in his heart, turned around and ran.
A roar suddenly came from behind him: "Come on!" Come on! Lord Jing is here! Lord Jing is here! β
Shen Rong's scalp was numb when he shouted these words.
It seems that Xie Yu succeeded, but her trouble came......
She knew that if she was caught in Shoukang Palace, she would definitely go through some painful torture.
She ran away, and there seemed to be a lot of noisy voices behind her ears, chasing many people.
What happened in her previous life suddenly popped up in her mind, she was covered in sweat, and she wanted to run desperately!
This is a chance God has given her!
She's just going to die, not here!
Shen Rong gritted his teeth.
Ran out of the sheep intestine trail.
But she was still not familiar enough with the palace, and when she ran out of this leisurely path, she found that another line of grandmothers and palace maids were already waiting for her here.
She was so tired that she was out of breath, and when she turned around, she was stopped by someone behind her.
She had nowhere to run.
shouted coldly at Mama Lin: "Mama, I am the county lord of the emperor!" How dare you be disrespectful to me?! The emperor knows, and he won't pick your skin! β
Mama Lin didn't know why Empress Dowager Qi was so anxious to find Shen Rong at the moment, so she didn't dare to let people do anything to Shen Rong, but just sneered: "Lord Jing, the slaves and maids are also acting on orders, if you have anything to say, you should keep it and talk to the Empress Dowager." β
"Is the emperor's power greater, or the queen mother's power?" Shen Rong asked rhetorically and began to make things up, "Mama, do you know what I'm going to do?" I'm going to the Imperial Study to face the saint, you dare to stop me in my way? β
Mama Lin looked left and right, and hesitated for a while: "The slave is just acting for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will personally ask the emperor for her guilt!" Please also ask the lord of Jingxian not to embarrass the slaves and maids. β
Shen Rong moved the corners of his lips: "Then I hope that the emperor has nothing urgent, otherwise no one will be able to bear the responsibility." β
With that, he turned and followed the men away.
But my heart was already flustered.
"Ah Rong?"
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind him, and even the palace people of Shoukang Palace paused.
Shen Rong suddenly felt happy in her heart, there are only a handful of people in the palace who can call her Ah Rong, such an unfamiliar voice should be Han Shaoxing.
She turned around and smiled, "Doctor Han." While giving him a look, he looked at the palace people around him: "It's really for some reason, I'm afraid I'm going to be rude to Dr. Han, and the Queen Mother will have to wait for me to reply." βR1152
