Chapter 302 Ulterior motives

Qi Hui looked at the sky and said, "Childe, go back first, it's not safe here, just stare at it." ”

Lin Bei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go back first, you can just stare at it from afar." If she returns to Beijing, let me know immediately! ”

After that, he turned over his horse, patted the horse's head, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I still have to keep an eye on this Wei person!" ”

……

Lynsey had a good night's sleep, and he had no idea what was going on outside.

As soon as she woke up, she lay down in front of the window to see if the snow had stopped.

As she had hoped, the snow stopped.

Lin Xi excitedly called: "Summer wind, the snow has stopped, let's prepare to go back to Beijing!" ”

Xia Feng came in with a basin and said with a smile: "The slave has already ordered to go down, and the girl will leave after breakfast." Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the third master was drunk again last night, I don't know when he will be able to leave?"

Lin Xi rolled his eyes and laughed angrily: "Forget it about him when he gets drunk." ”

Xia Feng smiled: "Girl, it's really not good, let's go first." ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Is there any movement from the Wei people?" ”

The summer breeze shook its head.

Lin Xi's heart moved, and said, "Wash up for me, and call Li Feng and Li Zhuangtou in a while!" ”

……

"Back to the prince, general, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion are setting horses."

Wen Ruihao and Liu Baimei put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at each other, and the latter said, "Are they planning to return to Beijing?" ”

"It should be. There is also one thing, the horse only eats enough grain and grass for two meals today. Lord Wang, General. Aren't we ...... too?"

Liu Baimei patted Wen Ruihao's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "It seems that God will not keep you." ”

Wen Ruihao was a little frustrated, but he was forced by the form, and said loudly: "Come on, go and tell Li Sanye that the people of the Hou Mansion will go alone in the ice and snow, and this king can't bear it, and plans to escort them together." Let the brothers be fed, feed the horses, and set off. ”

……

Lin Xi learned that the Wei delegation was going to escort her into Beijing. The contempt in my heart is like the heavy snow that has not stopped for the past two days. A steady stream of gushing out of the soles of the feet.

If she was really as simple and ignorant as the woman in her boudoir, maybe she would be moved when she heard this.

The truth of the matter is that the grain and grass stored in the village are not enough, and the Wei people have to take advantage of the snow to stop. Incorporated into Beijing.

So when Li Congwang told her the news with a happy face. Lin Xi's face suddenly dropped. Hypocrites are more terrible than real villains. Wen Ruihao, this bastard, is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Li Congwang didn't pay attention to Lin Xi's face, and said to himself: "Xiaoxi." Last night the great generals of Wei came and escorted us out of Zhuangzi, and we were sure to be safe. Hurry up and pack up, and set off in a moment, don't delay the hour. ”

Lin Xi couldn't wait to spit on him. This guy slept until three o'clock in the morning, and he actually had the face to say that she missed the hour, God, why didn't you go down to the thunder to split him.

Linsey looked up to the sky and was indignant.

Li Congwang thought about the woman the King of Chu gave him, whistled with a smile, and walked out.

Xia Feng saw that Lin Xi's face was so angry that he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Don't worry, girl, the third master is such a person." If you want to be serious, you can't get angry. ”

Lin Xi sneered and said, "It's the fool who is angry with him, I haven't seen anyone more stupid than him." Summer Breeze, put on the cloak for me. ”

"Yes, girl!"

"General?"

Lin Xi exhaled a breath of cold air from his nose and said to himself, "Hmph, I want to see and understand!" ”

……

Lin Xi was wearing sheepskin boots, and walked to the carriage with the help of Xia Feng, and paused. Slowly turning his head, his eyes fell on Liu Baimei's tall figure, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he straightened his back and walked over.

Liu Baimei was bowing her head to talk to Li Congwang, and suddenly met Lin Xi's eyes.

The bottom of the eyes seemed to be reflected by the sunny shirt, and it was blue. And it seemed to have some kind of incomprehensible look, as if there was ridicule or disdain.

Liu Baimei coughed lightly and covered the expression on her face.

Lin Xi stepped forward, smiled, and said meaningfully: "General Liu, let's meet again." ”

Liu Baimei looked at her and said coldly: "Miss Lin is fine!" ”

Lin Xi's eyes fluctuated slightly, his eyes looked at Li Congwang, and then swept over the girl named Shu'er who was next to him, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, this girl is from the north, I'm afraid that she is not suitable for the climate in our south, so you have to be merciful and cherish the jade." ”

After that, ignoring the text, the faces of the two Liu changed slightly, and they walked to the side of the carriage, supported by Xia Feng and got on the horse.

Wen and Liu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this girl is really smart.

An understatement, on the face, it sounded like he wanted Li Congwang to take good care of the book, but secretly he was mentioning that the woman next to him was from the Wei State, and he would definitely not be of the same heart, so he should pay more attention.

The funny thing is that Li Congwang didn't hear it, and only cared about eyebrow-to-eye with the book, and didn't listen to it for half a minute.

Wen and Liu looked at each other and smiled, their smiles deep.

Wen Ruihao really couldn't hold back, turned sideways and whispered: "Meimei, I just said that the girl is interesting!" ”

Liu Baimei saw the corner of her robe disappear into the carriage, and raised her eyebrows undeniably.

……

On the Taihe Palace, the emperor was dressed in a yellow robe and sat majestically behind the dragon chair. Across a bead curtain, it is the Empress Dowager Li.

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother, the Wei delegation has arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, and it will enter through the north gate in two hours."

The Emperor habitually looked behind him.

Empress Dowager Li smiled faintly and said, "What is Xiangye's opinion?" ”

Gao Zecheng took a step forward and raised his head and said: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites have been welcoming this matter since three months ago, and it is really rude that the Wei State delegation has been delayed again and again in entering Beijing. In the opinion of the ministers, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble, just send the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to greet you at the north city gate! ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded, neither said yes nor said no, and said eloquently: "The mourning family heard an interesting story last night. A few days ago, someone saw Liu Baimei, the general of Wei, in a small shop in western Beijing. ”

As soon as this statement came out. There was a lot of discussion among the military officials below.

Gao Zecheng's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother." The northerners are cunning, Liu Baimei is not very human, he appeared in the capital, it seems that this matter is not trivial, and it needs to be paid attention to! ”

"Gao Xiang's words are very much in line with the meaning of mourning!"

Empress Dowager Li slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

The emperor was taken aback, and looked at the queen mother who walked to the main hall for the first time. Baiguan gasped at the same time, and only lowered his head.

Empress Dowager Li looked around, and her eyes fell on several officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Ministry of Rites. Do it according to the wishes of the Xiangye. Being polite and courteous, not being humble or arrogant is the key. We are a state of etiquette in Daxin country, although the visitor is a guest, but he can't escape a local custom. ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites carefully pondered the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words. But I heard the Queen Mother say loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty." Please stay high! ”

……

In the Imperial Study. Although Sun Xinjie didn't sleep all night, he was energetic and told the things he was investigating one by one.

Emperor. The Queen Mother, the three of Gao Xiang listened to it, and their faces had different colors. The daughter of the dignified general's mansion is so arrogant and unreasonable, he entered the palace one day and became the queen, and this harem is only afraid that it will be ......

Gao Zecheng sat half a body on his side, his eyes were dark and uncertain.

He and Song Nian are also close friends, and they know that he only got this daughter, so he can't be pampered, but he just acts like this, but he has never heard of it before.

Gao Zecheng said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, in the opinion of the minister, the origin of this rumor still needs to be investigated again, as far as the minister knows, Miss Song is not such a hateful person." ”

Because Empress Dowager Li was involved in Lin Xi, her heart was reluctantly tilted, and she said lightly: "Robbing things in public, and hurting people if they don't like it, how can such a woman be the commander of the Six Palaces?" Xiangye, could it be that Commander Sun framed her? ”

"What the minister said, every sentence is true."

Sun Xinjie hurriedly owed to Gao Xiang, and said: "Back to Xiangye, the shopkeeper of Moxiang Shop is an honest man, I don't think this matter is fake." ”

Gao Zecheng got up and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, it's not the ministers who speak for Miss Song, there are no outsiders in the shop, and the shopkeeper said that he hasn't talked to anyone about this, so how did this matter flow out?" Moreover, this matter involves the generals of the Wei State, the emperor, and the Queen Mother are not guarded against multiple hearts, if it is the divisive plan of the Wei State, then ......"

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the hall were stunned.

Gao Zecheng hit the railway while it was hot: "According to the minister's opinion, it is best to invite the girl from the Hou Mansion to ask." ”

Sun Xinjie was taken aback, if the news he checked was really tricked, he was afraid that he would not be able to afford the consequences with his small Praetorian Guard.

He glanced at the prime minister gratefully, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, the minister is willing to invite him personally!" ”

Empress Dowager Li's heart moved, and she nodded: "What is the emperor's opinion?" ”

As soon as Zhao Jingqi heard that Lin Xi was going to be invited into the palace, Xiao Nan must have been very happy when he knew about it, and hurriedly said, "Please come in and ask clearly." ”

……

The path out of Zhuangzi was indeed difficult to walk, the snow was two or three inches thick, and the wheels of the car rolled on it, making a creaking sound.

Lin Xi sat in the car and was frightened, for fear that the driver would accidentally overturn the car.

Xia Feng was more nervous than her, her back pressed against the wall of the car, her hands supporting the bottom of the car, and her face was pale.

Lin Xi lifted the curtain and quietly looked back, only to see the guards of the Wei State riding on high horses with vigor, and they didn't hear the movement on the Hou Mansion.

Wen Ruihao and Liu Baimei, the two of them, shrank into the spacious carriage, and they couldn't see it.

"Escort, escort, that's a nice thing to say. Hmph, if I knew it was so, those meals might as well be fed to the dogs! ”

Lin Xi snorted: "The people of Wei are cunning! ”

Xia Feng nodded heavily a few times in agreement.

Fortunately, the road out of Zhuangzi was not very long, and after the carriage traveled hard for half an hour, the road gradually widened.

The master and servant had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they heard a neighing sound, and the carriage paused heavily before stopping.

"Girl, Commander Sun of the Praetorian Guard is here to pick up the girl into the palace!" The voice of the chief manager Li Feng sounded outside the carriage.

How could this be allowed to enter the palace? Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and suspicion flashed in his eyes.

……

"What? The commander of the Praetorian Guard came to pick up Miss Lin into the palace in person? ”

Wen Ruihao and Liu Baimei looked at each other, their faces were incredible.

"Back to the prince, general, Miss Linxi has taken the carriage in the palace, and the Praetorian Guards escorted her away."

"What about Li Congwang?"

"Li Sanye is still in front of the team, and he didn't follow him into the palace."

Wen Ruihao waved his hand, and the person left quickly.

"Meimei, what's going on? I'm here with the dignified King of Wei, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard didn't say that he came to pick us up, but he still turned a blind eye to us, what is the reason? ”

Liu Baimei's eyes radiated a cold light: "I don't know!" ”

Wen Ruihao drank a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you want to give us a dismount?" ”

……

Lin Xi knelt down in the imperial study, and after kowtowing, he looked at the emperor and the queen mother at the top of the head, and then looked at the high appearance on his left hand by the way, and sighed in his heart. Looking at this situation, it is a bit of a provincial meaning, and I don't know what happened.

Gao Zecheng has seen Lin Xi for the first time since he was carried away from the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

Rao was prepared in his heart, but he was still taken aback at first sight. The girl in front of her was fair-skinned, her eyebrows were clear, and she had two shallow pear nests, and when she smiled, the whole person was as dazzling as the sun and the moon.

Strange, why does this girl look so familiar? Gao Zecheng pressed the suspicion in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Lin Xi a few more times.

Lin Xi saw Gao Zecheng looking at him from time to time, and his heart was full of suspicion.

"Child, the mourning family asked you, did you meet the young lady of the Song family when you were in the Moxiang shop that day?" As soon as Empress Dowager Li saw Lin Xi, she felt happy in her heart, and her words were kind.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart, how could the queen mother know about this. didn't have time to think about it, and said truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, I did meet it." ”

Empress Dowager Li's eyes swept over Gao Xiangye, and she said quietly: "What happened to you and her that day?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned again, and did not rush to answer, but smiled at the Queen Mother Yingying: "Forgive Xiaoxi for taking the liberty of asking, how did the Queen Mother know about this ink fragrance shop?" ”

Empress Dowager Li only thought she was cowardly and didn't dare to tell Song Xi about bullying her, so she said coldly: "Don't be afraid, if anyone bullies you, the mourning family will be the master for you." ”

The words without a head and tail made Lin Xi's heart even more overwhelmed.

Something is wrong with this today. Early in the morning, the commander of the Praetorian Guard took her into the palace, and then without saying a word, he asked about the Moxiang shop...... What the hell is going on here?

Lin Xi had an idea, and his eyes for help fell on the emperor.

Zhao Jingqi saw Lin Xi looking at him, coughed lightly and said, "Now there are rumors in Beijing that Miss Song is going to rob your inkstone, and if you don't say a word, you will hurt your life." The Queen Mother called you here because she wanted to hear you say in person whether this matter was true or false. ”

Rumor?

Lin Xi was instantly clear.

She smiled slightly and said: "Back to the emperor, Queen Mother, I did meet Miss Song when I went to the Moxiang Courtyard that day, and she did take a fancy to the inkstone in my hand, and wanted to buy it back at a high price." I originally wanted to buy this inkstone for my grandfather, and I didn't really want to sell it, but Miss Song's words were earnest, and I was a little hesitant in my heart. ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard that this inkstone was given to Hou Ye, her eyes flashed with appreciation.

Lin Xi continued: "I hesitated, so I didn't pay attention to my subordinates, and as a result, the inkstone fell to the ground and shattered. Miss Song only thought that I was doing it on purpose, and sneered a few words. At this time, a burly man broke in, and before he could find out the truth of the matter, he blamed her a few words. Miss Song blushed and left. I saw that there was an aura on the man's body, and it made people feel frightened, so I left in a hurry. (To be continued......)
