Chapter 8: Temptation in the Dark (1)
The night is sultry, wrapping the entire imperial capital in his cold chest, and every qiē complicated and intrigue in the day is deeply hidden.
In the depths of the courtyard to the east of the East Palace, the curved corridor turns around, and the shadows of the trees sway. Xiao Yu sat in the study, Ruyu's face was covered in the shadow of the candle flame, and the expression on her face was uncertain.
After he came back from the Long Qiandian, he locked himself in the study alone, except for Guo Housheng, who was guarding the door, there was no one else.
This situation was known to those who were interested in the palace, and I was afraid that they would guess that he must be angry because of King Qing's marriage proposal today. What he wants is this result, so that those people will believe that he has a deep affection for Liang Nai, let Concubine Qing and Xiao Yuli get the pleasure of hitting him, let Xiao Chen pretend to be a good mother again, let him continue to sink into "downfall", and make them all look down on him. Only in this way can he gain the sympathy of the majority of the people, and he can secretly develop his own power.
He has endured humiliation and burdens for all these years, and what he wants is to hit with one blow, so when he is not sure of victory, he would rather bear the wanton bullying of others. Big husband, who can bend and stretch is a real hero!
The candle flame seemed to be blown by the wind that slipped in through the hidden window, and swayed as if it were about to be extinguished.
Xiao Yu looked coldly at the flickering candle flame, and when he turned back, there was already a man in black with a masked face standing under the candlelight.
"Your Highness." The man in black bowed his hand, and only after seeing Xiao Yu's nod did he continue: "The subordinates have already found out that Concubine Qing and King Qing have been in frequent contact with Duan Xiang during this time, Duan Xiang has been shaken, and the two sides have planned to marry. ”
The old fox actually took refuge in Concubine Qing, and the sneer on the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth was even worse, and the candle flame reflected the jade face vividly with a trace of weirdness.
"What is Your Highness going to do?"
Xiao Yu put down her hand, casually picked up the candle flame, and commanded softly: "Reveal this matter to Qiwu Palace, presumably she is more anxious than us." ”
"Yes."
As when he came, the man in black disappeared as if he had never appeared in this room.
If someone is willing to be a good mother and help him worry about himself, why should he bother to compromise his own people?
He slowly walked to the window, and simply opened the hidden window completely, letting the silver-white moonlight pour down on him, adding a bit of heavenly figure.
Those people, including the self-proclaimed good mother, must not have imagined that he still had this trick left. He is not alone, there is a secret guard from his grandmother's house behind him, which was originally to protect his mother, but he didn't expect it to be used by him. Thanks to this guard, otherwise he wouldn't have known how many times he had died.
"Welfare."
Hearing Xiao Yu's voice inside, Guo Housheng, who had never made a sound, bowed his back and cautiously entered the room.
"What does Your Highness command?"
Xiao Yu glanced at him, when the nurse Pan and the palace maid Tan Yuqiu both turned their backs on him, only this attendant was loyal to him and never gave up.
"The incident you mentioned to the main hall a few days ago, you should start arranging it."
When he said this suddenly, Guo Housheng couldn't react for a while, or was so shocked by the huge surprise that he forgot how to react.
"Don't want to?" Xiao Yu saw his cheeks filled with joy, and pretended to be bitter and said, "If you really don't want to, this hall won't force you." ”
"No, it's not." After being poured down by Xiao Yu's basin of cold water, Guo Housheng stabilized his mind and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "The villain is overjoyed because of His Highness's great grace. ”
"Then let's do it."
