Chapter 211: Who is the puppet?
On the night when Emperor Taiye was stationed in the palace of His Majesty Xiakou, the night sky hung with the moon and the first quarter moon was now hanging in the sky.
After a month of obscurity, it was actually mixed up on the eighth day of August.
Zhou Manyun, who was standing alone in front of the window, looked up, and the soft moonlight ran down her cheeks and neck, dyeing her body with a layer of silver, and a sky-blue palace dress and gauze skirt were even more hazy.
"Alas!" With a long melancholy sigh, Man Yun's pair of jade hands pressed the window frame. For half a month, Wang's mother has been nagging in her ear, proving that she and the people behind her have plans to arrange for Man Yun to "meet" Emperor Taiye, but the undecided time makes Man Yun a little impatient.
"I guess now in this huge palace, I can't wait to be pampered, I'm the only one!"
In the moonlight, a turn of silver coiled on Man Yun's shoulder. Yinziyuan stared at the woman who was talking to her with her head sideways, as if staring at the glass, as if incredulously.
If the emperor has just arrived in the palace, and there are still some stupid women in the palace who want to accept the rain and dew, then the misfortune of those blessed beauties in these days will also pour out the light of hope of such a seedling.
Emperor Taiye may have really been driven crazy by the anti-thieves who are constantly in chaos.
According to the news from Wang's mother, the beauties who were brought into the palace to be favored not only had to search and wash their bodies, wrap them in silk satin, but also be told to change their names and surnames in front of the emperor, claiming to be the wife of the pseudo-Chu Liu Tai, or the daughter of the pseudo-Qi Shi family, etc. The Son of Heaven, who couldn't annihilate the enemies of the empire, had to hide in the harem and take these anti-thief wives to get angry.
When the day comes, whether she can live or not depends on the woman's own luck. But overall, it's more comfortable to be dead than to be alive.
It is said that today's biological mother, Xiao, was imprisoned in the cold palace by Empress Ming Zhao on the grounds of madness when Emperor Taiye was five years old. Zuihou hanged himself on June 29, the day of Empress Dowager Ciren's birthday. Man Yun tapped the tail of the silver and asked uncertainly: "If the Xiao family is really insane, the kind of madness that can be passed on to their children, is it too emotional for Xiaozong to choose such an heir?" ”
Yinzi's body shrank as if it were itchy, and he disappeared in an instant.
Man Yun turned around. looked at the figure who was slowly walking towards her in the dark, and laughed softly: "Mother Wang, you came back very quickly. ”
Mother Wang, who was wearing a cyan palace robe, was stunned, raised her hands as if sleepwalking, and hung a black cloth burden on her arm, which was handed to Man Yun's eyes.
Zhou Manyun's eyes immediately showed irrepressible joy, and he untied his burden in three clicks and looked at it carefully. Mother Wang, who had secretly tested the Gu for more than ten days, had not until tonight that Man Yun controlled the Gu worm for the first time to let her do things.
A few men's clothes inside. It was the one that Man Yun was taken to the palace and was searched, but there was nothing between the clothes except three or two trinkets. The jade ring that can prove the identity of the daughter of the Zhou family, and the hidden mist are all gone.
"Mom, what about my dagger and Peiyu?" , Man Yun gritted his teeth fiercely and asked directly.
"Send ...... Go out...... Go...... Finish! Wang's mother, who fell into the puppet Gu, replied word by word. The voice is hoarse and extremely hard. Under the control of the crazy Gu worm in the brain. It's okay for a person to make some big physical movements, but it's very difficult to speak.
After all, fate is shallow, one step late.
A trace of gloom flashed in Zhou Manyun's eyes, and he lowered his head, not daring to ask any more. Before she left the palace, Mother Wang was still extremely useful. Added interrogations that are beyond the control of the puppet Gu. It is easy for the old woman's brain in front of her to be directly stimulated to think about the problem, and it has become a waste completely.
Knotting the burden again, Man Yun pushed it back in front of Wang's mother, and said softly: "It's better for my mother to help me put it away, isn't it more appropriate to stuff it into that big plum bottle outside?" ”
An old woman who was as stiff as a stick. He didn't show any reaction to hear it, only leaned down slightly.
Man Yun immediately took the opportunity to hang the burden on her arm......
The daylight is faint, and in the Yurun Hall of Xiakou Palace, except for Zhou Manyun, who has no taste and no place but occupies the main hall room, he still sleeps late with Begonia, and the others have started another busy day in the morning light.
Mother Wang stretched out her hand and beat her sore waist and eyes, smiled kindly at the little palace maid who wanted to help her, and walked to a large plum vase painted with gold-patterned flowers and birds in three steps and two steps.
Looking around, the hand on the side of the bottle slanted, and a pair of half-clouded eyes struggled to look into the bottle.
Then, Mother Wang, who held the bottle steady, sighed, and she also woke up early in the morning and suddenly vaguely remembered that she had turned over the box at night, but when she saw that the clothes of Zhou Manyun that had been deducted were gone.
"I'm getting older, my memory is poor, and my courage is small!" , Wang's mother laughed at herself, and then threw away her hand.
The plum bottle has a big belly and a small mouth, and the soft clothes are wrapped and stuffed. Last night's whimsical change of place to hide things was a good thing, and if you really wanted to get it, you would have to smash the bottle. The woman who was asleep in the house wouldn't have thought that she would put these clothes here.
Mother Wang let go of her breath tightly, and the discomfort on her body was reduced by half, and she picked up the curtain and tiptoed close to Man Yun's bedside.
The pretty woman on the bed was sleeping deeply, unsuspectingly, as if she had been taken away without noticing.
Young people are always like this, no matter how smart and witty they are, they can't compete with those ethereal loves, and some special abilities are in their bodies, so they can't help but use the heart to retaliate.
Thinking about the performance of Zhou Manyun gradually from hostility to disappointment and frustration to resentment in the past half a month, Wang's mother couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.
Zhou Manyun didn't sit up lazily until the middle of the morning, and was served by the maid who had been waiting for a long time, as if he was very accustomed to the days of being raised now, and he didn't care which day he would be cut off and his tail would be broken.
The round-faced maid who was combing her hair and pulling her hair was suddenly pushed aside by Mother Wang, who hurried in from outside.
With irrepressible joy on her face, the old woman respectfully greeted Man Yunshi, and then said, "Girl, you can't be so sleepy tomorrow. When I am young, I am going to see Concubine Zhang! ”
In the rhombic mirror, Zhou Manyun's white and tender face was like a clay sculpture without any vitality, and the palace maids in the room congratulated her together as soon as they heard the words, and they were very sincere.
Although there were many emperors who traveled with the Queen Mother in ancient times, but like today, those who take the concubine who is not a few years older than themselves to travel to the south of the Yangtze River are not missing from the history books, and this is the only one.
The current queen Liu only has an identity, and after giving birth to the crown prince, she has not slept with the king for many years. She was worried that one day the Son of Heaven would be confused, and her wife, like other women, would die. Only Concubine Zhang, who has been favored by God, loves her pets and can take her life again and again. Being able to get Concubine Zhang's blue eyes means that you can get some mention, both pampered and saved, and there are many women in the harem who are worried that they can't climb up with Concubine Zhang.
"Girl! You'll be able to get your wish soon! The old slave thought that your father's wish when he passed away can also be fulfilled......", Wang's mother, who was standing behind Man Yun, smiled and complimented.
Man Yun blinked, and felt that the old woman's face in the mirror was strangely distorted and funny. She half-lowered her eyes and smiled softly, her delicate face like a flower was even more beautiful in her laughter.
A loveless woman who is a burden to others, it would be a pity if she sought death by herself. After finding the root cause of the unfortunate turn of fate, it is perfect to be a puppet who burns everything regardless of everything.
In the Tamamo Palace, the sun is just right, but the palace room with the gate closed is extremely cold.
"You mean he can die?" , The questioner was a palace beauty dressed in a golden silk smoke and emerald green veil, the towering twin peaks exposed a piece of snow white, and along the neck was a young melon seed face like a girl. The sideburns were combed very low, like a lazy jasper hairpin with beads inserted obliquely, looking pitiful and extremely charming.
"The little bastard raised by Empress Liu is already three years old, and the Liu family has always watched him very closely. If you can't let King Yue ascend the throne, can the concubine think about what she will do in the future? It was a fifty or sixty-year-old woman who persuaded her, with a thin face and a very sharp mouth. The king of Yue she mentioned was the five-year-old eldest son of Emperor Taiye, whose biological mother was not of high birth and had died, and was persuaded to stay with Concubine Zhang before the emperor was confused a few years ago, so that she could relieve her boredom.
"Let me spend a few more days persuading him to give the throne to King Yue or make King Yue the crown prince?" , Zhang Xixi, who was sitting upright, grabbed his pollen-sprinkled skirt, two lines of tears ran down his cheeks, and sobbed: "Even if you all say that he is a faint king who died early and died early, he still treats me very much." He lives, even if I fight with others and is hated, I can only live like a woman, if he dies, what will I do? Is it a concubine who is enshrined? ”
Zhang Xixi, who is weak by nature, if he is not talented and has received the favor of two generations of emperors, he is not worth supporting at all, in the final analysis, after another day, this puppet doll in the deep palace will really be made into a wooden brand, and it will be good to enjoy the cigarette offering.
Mama Mama endured her disdain, and whispered and coaxed: "You have to think that you will become the queen mother, and in the future, with the power in hand, you can recruit a good man in the world to be the head of the face, and let you be driven, so that you can truly enjoy the happiness of a woman." ”
"I never wanted any man! You first sent me to the palace and let me accompany a sick old man, and when the emperor was sick, let me hook him...... Now, now he tells me that he has to die ...... too", Zhang Xixi's tears poured down like rain, and he simply fell on the couch and cried like a child.
The undisguised cry sounded for a long time, and even if the eyes and nose were still beautiful even after crying, the little face that was still very beautiful slowly lifted up, grabbed the hand of the horse-faced grandmother, and asked eagerly: "Mama Jiang, didn't you say that the poisonous girl who could escape the sniffing of the monster by the secret guard next to him couldn't be cultivated at all?" ”
"This ...... The old slave also heard the news that said that the woman you will see tomorrow can be poisoned. ”
"Try her!" , Zhang Xi regretted that he came to his senses, his voice was full of sadness, and he pleaded: "You find Xiao Lu's father-in-law to bring that monster to try her first!" If she can't escape at all, won't it still bother us! (To be continued......)
