Chapter Eighty-Nine: Scheming
The queen chatted with Qi Meiren in Fengque Palace, and then she sent her care.
She said that Qi Meiren should go out more and be in a better mood, so she went to the Imperial Garden for a walk, of course she would accompany her.
Who knew that the two of them had just left the palace gate of Fengque Palace, and before they had gone far, they heard the bold little eunuchs talking in a low voice, and then they "knew" about this fake oracle of the emperor. However, the little eunuchs also received twenty canes each.
If Chan'er knew at this time, those eunuchs were scolded by the rod for just saying one more sentence, and she broke the tea cup that day, if it wasn't for the set set in advance, how many boards would she have to suffer? I don't know if there are any more lives now?
When the king heard the queen say this, he raised his eyes and stared at the queen for a long time, and then smiled: "This is not a false rumor, I did say this before." At that time, in order to let Yiruo follow the general to study, but the child was desperate and refused to go, I didn't mention this matter once or twice, if it weren't for the fact that he was loyal and indeed a capable person, I am afraid that I would have been condemned to him a long time ago. ”
After speaking, he glanced at He Zixi, who had a strange expression over there, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Fortunately, he found his sister, and his sister is also a heroine among women, so he can have the best of both worlds." But on the day Chan'er entered the palace, she asked me for something, and I agreed to her. But now that he is going to ruin the promise of that day, he naturally wants to ensure that He Zixi is safe, so there is a matter of the oracle. ”
The sentence of ensuring her safety made the queen and Qi Meiren stunned at the same time, they couldn't believe what they heard at all.
Because the meaning is simple. But it is also very profound: this oracle is indeed true, but the oracle is not just the one that comes out now.
That is to say, if you hear the oracle coming from He Zixi's mouth in the future, as long as it is not a matter of hindering national affairs, as long as it is not an unforgivable crime of murder and arson, it may be the dictate of the king!
Chan'er instantly understood what the king meant when she heard this, she quietly glanced at the queen and the king, it turned out that the king had always known. He only did this to protect He Zixi from harm.
As for what King Zhengwang said that he had promised Chan'er, it was the day Chan'er entered the palace, she was worried that He Zixi's temperament would not be able to survive in the palace, so she begged King Zheng not to allow He Zixi to enter the palace. When the king knew why, he was silent.
Long. King Zheng said slowly, "Ruo Zhen promised you, as long as He Zixi didn't kill people and set fires, as long as she wasn't a fake public servant." Shake the foundation of the country. I will protect her for the rest of her life. What do you want to promise me? ”
At that time, Chan'er looked at Zhengwang in surprise, she never thought that Zhengwang would be so straightforward with her, a person whose origin is not very clear. Talking about an unequal "deal"!
So she thought about it, if the king can say this, it must be that his heart is willing to be the crown prince of the eighth prince, but maybe the time is not enough now, so he can only say it vaguely.
"The little woman has thanked Her Majesty for her grace first, and Her Majesty has made a promise, and the little woman is naturally not a person who doesn't speak," after speaking, she raised her head, looked into the eyes of the king, and said word by word: "Loyalty, strength, achievement." ”
It's just six words, and it doesn't take too many words for the king to understand.
The corners of his mouth curled, and then he nodded, and the two reached a consensus and completed this unequal "deal".
Loyalty, naturally, is loyal to the Eight Princes, and will never regret it. Li Bao is to do his best to protect the Eighth Prince and prevent him from being in danger. Achievement, no matter what method is used, even if it is sacrificed, she will help the eighth prince achieve the hope in the emperor's heart.
Now that the king said this in front of the queen, it was equivalent to an edict to the entire palace in disguise, He Zixi was not a person they could slander and hurt at will, and he proved his words with the most practical actions.
Could it be that this is the domineering spirit of the Ninety-Five?
Chan'er looked at the king in a daze, unable to tell what she felt in her heart.
There is admiration, there is worry, there is fear, there is...
There are too many feelings, all of which are accumulated in her heart, and she is a little confused about her thoughts now.
Now she is becoming more and more unable to understand this high-ranking person.
I used to think that he was very open-minded and could accept other people's advice, even if it was as good as a little girl. At that time, she thought it was because they were foreigners and didn't have so many Central Plains people's thoughts of old seals, but now it seems that it is not, right?
What he thinks, Chan'er can't understand, but the only thing that is certain is that this emperor, he is an old fox, and he is a scheming fox, the kind that even if he calculates others, others still don't know it, and they have to thank him.
Suddenly remembered his previous life, one year on the Spring Festival evening, I watched a sketch by Uncle Benshan, he cheated Xiao Fan, saying that Xiao Fan still had to thank him, but Xiao Fan really turned his head and said to him: Thank you!
As a result, in the second year, it was still Uncle Benshan's sketch, Chan'er thought that Xiao Fan would be smarter, but Xiao Fan was not enough to see in front of Uncle Benshan's big fool, and he still continued to be fooled...
It's an obvious combination of a little white rabbit and a big bad wolf.
Chan'er remembered that she was also laughing at that time, and she laughed for a long time, but now when she really saw such a person who looked like a big bad wolf, she didn't even have the desire to laugh, she only felt that her whole body was like being frozen, without a trace of temperature.
When I laughed, I always thought it was just a sketch, just to make people laugh.
If you don't laugh, wouldn't it be too faceless? Although Chan'er thinks the sketch is really funny.
But nowadays, there is no desire to laugh because... I am the person in this game. Whether it is herself in the previous life or herself in this life, she has always been the little white rabbit. Been fooled.
In his previous life, the man who hurt himself and his grandfather was stupid enough to regard him as his favorite.
What about this life?
Maybe one day in the future, I will be like Xiao Fan, stupidly saying to the emperor in front of me, that is, now: Thank you. I just don't know what kind of state of mind I will be in at that time?
My brain made up for it, and I couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Ahem."
Qi Meiren noticed that Chan'er seemed to be distracted, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her like that, it was definitely not a good thing, and... The point is that she has been looking at the emperor in a daze, and the queen has also seen it, which is not a good thing!
Xia Xiang next to her glanced at Qi Meiren, then at Chan'er, and quickly stepped forward to gently stroke Qi Meiren's back and said, "Meiren, are you okay?" The slave said, you have been feeling unwell recently, and you should have sent the imperial doctor to see you a long time ago, even if you refused, now you are coughing, do you still have to stiffen up? ”
After speaking, he looked at the king and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is just a slave, the weight of her speech is light, and the beauty does not listen to the slave and the maid, please persuade the beauty and the imperial doctor!" In the past two days, Qi Meiren's appetite is not good, and the slave maid is afraid that the beauty will not feel well, but the beauty..."
"Natsuka! Your Majesty, the concubine is not in the way, but she has been pressing things in her heart for the past two days, and she just coughed and choked on tea. ”
The corners of the government's eyes twitched when he heard this, did you just drink tea? Choked on tea? Thinking of this, for some reason, King Zheng suddenly thought of the former prince's brother who had passed away a long time ago, he... is a victim under the palace fight, choking to death after eating, who will believe it?
He eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, delicate rice grains, not coarse grains, how can he choke and die?
The political king was slightly stunned, is he really old? Any sentence can remind you of something that happened so long ago!
"Yingying, you too, too willful. It was only after Dr. Xuan took the pulse that he was relieved. ”
"陛xià..."
Qi Meiren pursed her lips coquettishly, and her shy and angry eyes stared at the political king, and the political king was fluttering for a while, ah, it is really rare to see Yingying's side!
The queen looked at Qi Meiren and Xia Xiang so simply changed the topic, a little unhappy, just now she saw it really, Chan'er has been looking at the emperor, the love in her eyes is not only respect for the emperor, but also many other things.
It's just that she didn't see it for a while, but she was interrupted by Qi Meiren's cough, but this cough was really timely. Is she really not used to Chan'er? Or is it something else? There is also Chan'er to Majesty... Isn't there anything you shouldn't have in mind?
She glanced at Qi Meiren suspiciously, but the corners of her eyes swept over Chan'er, who lowered her head and had a feeling of resignation. It really gives people a feeling of being soft and boneless, and wants to be protected.
It's a pity that the type that the emperor likes is not like this, the emperor likes bold, uninhibited, and independent women like Qi Siying.
Otherwise, he would not have withstood the pressure of those old ministers and accepted Qi Siying as a beauty.
But the queen really can't understand Qi Siying and Chan'er, what is the relationship between these two people? If it has a relationship, why can Qi Siying still target her so much? Okay, even if it's a play, there's no need to punish kneeling first and then punish the court staff, right?
But these are not a big deal, the point is that the eighth prince Situ Ye actually collided with Qi Meiren for Chan'er!
Qi Meiren threw up her sleeves and left at that time, but did not return to Fengque Palace, but went directly to the Qinzheng Palace, it took a long time for her to come out of the Qinzheng Palace, and she heard the father-in-law of the Qinzheng Palace say that Qi Meiren's eyes were red when she came out, but it is true that since then, Qi Meiren has not been very aimed at Chan'er.
Even yesterday, the Eighth Emperor Concubine had a rash on her body because she ate the carp made by Chan'er, she didn't punish her heavily, but just let her go to the miscellaneous room.
The queen didn't believe it, Qi Siying didn't know that Chan'er didn't have to do anything in the miscellaneous room!
She... Treacherous like her, how could she compromise so lightly because of Situ Ye? Besides, she still doesn't like Situ Ye very much!
Maybe it was a game from the beginning, maybe now she is brewing another conspiracy.
The queen looked at Qi Meiren and the emperor, and suddenly a flattering smile appeared on her face... (To be continued......)
