Chapter 251: Jin Se

The Queen Mother is old, and her memory is not as good as that of young people, besides, it is impossible for Ben to keep the name and resume of every eunuch in mind, and she is still a little dazed when she hears the words, but the queen and the immortal master both looked at Xu Xun - back then, Liu Zhien, as a close friend around the emperor, was assigned to serve by Xu Xun's side, and her colleagues also murmured in private. Look at the latest novels on -_-!乐-_-!ζ–‡-_-!小-_-!say-_-!网(http://) Baidu search to see the latest novels on -_-!乐-_-!ζ–‡-_-!小-_--!say-_-!网(http://) Baidu search

Xu Xun himself is more dazed than them, since Liu Zhien went to Nanjing, that is, in the first year or two, he has exchanged letters with several attendants around her, and he has never contacted her at all. In order to avoid suspicion, she rarely took the initiative to ask about him, lest the people below inquire about it, alarm the emperor again, remind him of the things of the past, and have to get along with Liu Zhien.

"There is indeed such a person, called Liu Zhien, at that time I had several Jieyu or something around me, there were many things every day, so the eldest brother first sent him to my side to help manage the palace, and later, because of his ability, he was promoted to Nanjing as an errand supervisor," Xu Xun said, she carefully controlled her expression, not to let too many emotions be exposed, but made a surprised and distant look, "However, I haven't heard about him suddenly returning to the palace and entering the East Factory." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this name, she remembered it, her eyes flashed, and her words were meaningful, "Ah, it's that loyal little eunuch." ”

In the turmoil after the abolition of the past year, if it weren't for Liu Zhien's informant, the Queen Mother would probably still be kept in the dark and couldn't work hard for Xu Xun. Although Xu Xun didn't know how much effort the Queen Mother had put into this matter, when she said this, it seemed that she was very ignorant of Entu - although the old man let her go for the time being, he always didn't forget to knock a few points when he brought the words.

"Although this person has a deep relationship with the palace." The queen's eyes also flashed, and she said, "But there must be a rule for doing things in the palace, how did this warrant come about, you have to ask clearly, otherwise, everyone will come to this trick in the future, but it will be a bad start." ”

This is of course, but after all, Liu Zhien is a person who is also registered in the heart of the Queen Mother, even if he holds a warrant, not an official document from the transfer of Dongchang, even Feng En doesn't know about it and wants to ask the Queen Mother, but Liu Zhien is not regarded as a swagger and deceived and is seriously dealt with. The Queen Mother thought about it, and then asked people to call Ma Shi.

When Ma Shi entered the house, he was still wearing plain clothes, and his eyes were still red-compared with the concubines and even the royal relatives who were busy with their own affairs, he and Wang Jin and other close servants were loyal, and they took turns with each other, and no one could stop standing on the knees and crying at twelve hours before the spirit, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty at this time.

"During the lifetime of Emperor Daxing, you served everywhere, and now there is such a thing, do you remember?" The Queen Mother said Liu Zhien's identity.

When Ma Shiyi heard this, he said very naturally, "The slave and maid remember that this warrant was written and stamped by the slave and maid for the emperor - for the emperor of Daxing, about half a month ago, when the emperor of Daxing had a headache and did not want to write by himself, so he asked the slave and maid to write it on his behalf." ”

More than half a month ago, wasn't it ......

Xu Xun's brows furrowed quietly, she glanced at Ma Shi deeply, but Ma Shi didn't look at her, just knelt down respectfully, and asked questions with the Queen Mother.

"Which seal did you use? If you want to transfer him to Beijing, why don't you explain to Feng En? "The Queen Mother is not suspicious of anything, but she is a little puzzled.

"Back to the old lady's words, I used the private seal of Xuanfu's secret play, and the rest of the treasures were elsewhere, and it was late at night, and only these few small seals for appreciating paintings were around." Ma Shi replied clearly, "Emperor Daxing was also on a whim, so he didn't let the slaves and maids go outside to get the big seal, and the Tao was that this small seal was enough." And instructed the slave and maid to tell Feng En the next day - it's just that the next day was busy, and Feng En didn't enter the palace, the slave and maid forgot about it, thinking that in this big year, they can always meet him, this Liu Zhien is in Nanjing, and there will be a period of time to come......"

The Queen Mother looked at the messenger, and when she saw him nodding, she knew that Liu Zhien's warrant was indeed using this unofficial private seal, and she waved her hand to stop the person's unspoken words, but her suspicion was deeper, "More than half a month ago...... At that time, Emperor Daxing was sick, why did he suddenly remember to summon him into the palace? ”

Ma Shi's eyes looked at his nose and nose, "slave maid...... Listening to Emperor Daxing's muttering, he only asked Niangniang to forgive the slave maid for the sin of passing the word at will and arranging colleagues-"

"Say it," the Queen Mother was a little impatient, "if you don't say it now, who knows?" ”

"Emperor Daxing slept a lot during the day, and often couldn't sleep at night, besides, in the dead of night, he was in better spirits, and often asked the slaves and maids about the movements in the palace these days." Ma Shi said, "That night, Emperor Daxing didn't close his eyes, leaned on the head of the bed and pondered for a long time, then called the slave and maid who had been in the night over, and asked the slave and maid to write this warrant on behalf of him. ”

This implication is already obvious, the emperor is sick, and it is obvious that he will continue to be sick, and a person who cannot go out from time to time can only rely on intelligence agencies if he wants to maintain absolute authority and close control over the palace and the court. When his condition improves slightly, it is normal to start preparing for future recuperation, and Feng En, as an old man of several dynasties, is indeed a little old now, if there is any candidate for Jane in the Emperor's Heart, he has been released and experienced, and now he is ready to use it, which is reasonable again.

The Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Immortal Master all showed different expressions, the Queen Mother was finally relieved, the Queen was thoughtful, but the Immortal Master suddenly glanced at Xu Xun with a complicated meaning. Xu Xun was very suspicious, just staring at Ma Shi, Ma Shi looked very natural, and he didn't mean to look at her at all, and said, "This warrant, the slave maid was handed over to Qu Twelve, and asked him to send Jinyi Wei to pass the order, if the old lady has any doubts, you can summon Qu Twelve." ”

Qu Twelve is also the waiter of the Qianqing Palace, but the qualifications are relatively new, the Queen Mother sent someone to ask, Qu Twelve really admitted it bluntly, and said the name of the person who took the errand over there in Jinyiwei, this matter is considered a tolerance in Jinyiwei, and the registered documents are all there, and when the person who asked in the past came back, it was not an hour before and after, and the context of Liu Zhien's going to Beijing was already clear.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent, in fact, her attention to this matter is indeed extraordinary, if you want to distinguish the truth from the false, Ma Shi's words are enough to prove that Liu Zhien was indeed ordered to go to Beijing, and then check these details clearly, but it is a bit suspicious of adding to the snake.

"This Nanjing celebrant is not a place where things are complicated." The queen said at this time, "Liu Zhien has been on an errand for a few years in the past, and he said that he went to practice, but I think he is going to retire for the elderly, and he is used to living a comfortable life, what kind of difference can he make when he comes back?" Ma Shi, don't misunderstand what Emperor Daxing meant, maybe he just has something to ask Liu Zhien? ”

"It's true that the warrant doesn't write the title." Ma Shi said cautiously, "I only said that I asked Liu Zhien to find Feng En's report - but, Niangniang, Liu Zhien's position as the master of ceremonies in Nanjing is not low, and later he was promoted to a higher level because of his meritorious service in going to the West with the Three Treasures Eunuch." ”

"What work?" The Queen Mother also looked moved.

"The eunuch of the Three Treasures passed away on the way back to Beijing, and Liu Zhien was originally the deputy of the inner servants, so he was in charge of the fleet together with Lord Hong, and later Lord Hong fell ill and could not take care of things," Ma Shi said, "It was Liu Zhien who brought the fleet back with Wang Jinghong and others." ”

This is a great achievement, you must know that there are a lot of internal servants with military merits, but the Three Treasures Eunuch, as an almost household name in the dynasty, is not because of his military exploits and surname, but because he led the fleet to the West seven times, bringing back countless treasures, and the accompanying caravan was even rich overnight, full of drama. Bringing an ocean-going fleet back home unscathed from the turbulent strait, even if it is a return trip, is not comparable to the hard work of the Three Treasure Eunuchs in opening the way, but it is a great merit and a heavy responsibility, and it is impossible for an incompetent person to be qualified for such a position.

Moreover, these eunuchs around the emperor now, due to the gradual expansion of the power of the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, have no rules and no rules, and they have gradually formed a set of rules for employing people. Generally speaking, for meritorious people, there is no reason to use it for no reason, Liu Zhien's grade in the celebrant supervisor is not low, and he has been promoted when he comes back, although it is unlikely that he will be airborne into the chief eunuch when he returns to the East Factory, but at least he can get a deputy to do it, and when the time comes, if he behaves well, it is logical that he can take Feng En's place and send Feng En to Rongyang.

The reason why the queen opposes Liu Zhien is not because she has any personal grudges with Liu Zhien, after all, Liu Zhien's identity is not worthy of any grudges with her. It's just that this undoubtedly gives the topic of the dispute to Shicai a reason to break the situation, so she wants to nip the Queen Mother's intentions in the bud. However, Ma Shi did not cooperate, and he said the truth that must be well documented, what could she do? I had to pick a thorn and say, "I remember that year, after the ship docked on the shore of Nanjing, there were still many people who offered treasures to enter the palace, and he made such a great achievement, but I haven't heard of him entering Beijing?" When Emperor Daxing told me, he only said that there was Wang Jinghong, and I was also his leader. ”

Ma Shi said respectfully, "Back to Niangniang, Liu Zhien also fell ill after returning to China, and he was recuperating in Nanjing at that time, so he didn't come, but the credit is considered to be second-class merit, only under the eunuch of Sanbao." There are also some rewards and praises, because they are all handled by the celebrant and supervisor, and they are partners of the year, but the slave maid has heard a few colleagues talk about this matter, and there are still some impressions. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "In this way, he is really a capable person, and Emperor Daxing is afraid that he has long been optimistic about his service - it's just that our deep palace women are blinded and don't know at all." ”

She glanced at Xu Xun inquiringly, but Xu Xun's blank look was not pretended - she really didn't know that Liu Zhien also went to the West, made meritorious contributions, and was actually promoted. I feel that the emperor sent him to the celebrant back then, just to let him be idle for a lifetime, how could he suddenly change his mind and reuse Liu Zhien, she had no clue at all.

Seeing that Xu Xun was also surprised, the Queen Mother pondered for a while, and then said, "It's done, I know, you go down." ”

Ma Shi saluted and withdrew from the house, the queen mother looked at the time leak, and it was too late, and the rest of the matter would be discussed tomorrow, which made the three of them go back to the palace first.

At this time, the queen has lost the opportunity, just to fight, and she has to think about a strategy, so she does not entangle and force to stay, as for Xu Xun and the immortal master, they were originally two foils, so naturally they will not have any opinions, the three of them got up and saluted, and then they exited the house, and went out of the palace gate to get into the sedan chair and go back.

The three of them were silent all the way, and when they went out, the immortal master walked back by himself - Chang'an Palace and Qingning Palace were very close. Before the queen got on the sedan chair, she suddenly glanced back at Xu Xun again, her expression was complicated, as if she had a grudge, and seemed to be a little envious and jealous, but she didn't say anything after all, just glanced at Xu Xun for such a long time, and then turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Xu Xun herself was also disturbed, but she didn't think about the queen's meaning, she wanted to call Ma Shi to Yong'an Palace for questioning, but the problem was that not only was there a lot of movement, but it was indeed already dusk, if Ma Shi went back to guard the spirit, she called in again, and Ma Shi should not be able to return to the residence. Yes, I can only endure it stubbornly, but I have been calculating all the way when the emperor summoned Liu Zhien to Beijing - Ma Shi and her, almost in shifts to stay by the emperor's side, but if she takes turns to take care of the emperor during the day, sometimes she sleeps very dead at night, and if she falls on the kang, she is unconscious, and any movement after the emperor is taken care of by Ma Shi, she is not aware at all, so it is difficult to deduce the exact date from what Ma Shi said now.

Diandian and Zhuang'er are still attached to her to live in Yong'an Palace, and the two of them did not go to Daxing Emperor Ling for a long time today, but just went over on time to worship on incense, and then came back to stay honestly. After Xu Xun returned to the palace, he naturally asked Han Nuan, and the two children were in good spirits, but they complained a few words, feeling that the food was not to taste.

The two children have been clothed and fed since childhood, although Xu Xun's discipline style is very strict, but where have they really suffered anything? Because they are in the filial piety period, there is no meat in the dishes, and they don't use lard, how can they eat happily? Not only a little bit, but even Zhuang'er seemed to have a relationship, Xu Xun saw it, and couldn't help sighing, before comforting, "After your eldest brother ascends the throne, the rules will be much looser, and at that time, the ban will be gradually lifted." ”

The Son of Heaven guards filial piety by day and month, and after he is filial, the atmosphere in the palace will change. After all, there is no new monarch who has been on the throne for a few years, and it is all the truth that the palace is full of vegetarianism, and sometimes when the emperor is old, he will get married within 100 days. However, whether the rest of the children serve three years of full filial piety, in this regard, the edict of Emperor Daxing is vague, and there is no definite number - anyway, this rule is a rule, in the people, even if a cultural person like Mr. Xu can endure eating a vegetarian for 7749 days, it is already considered filial piety. There are many people who open a banquet after the funeral to thank their relatives, and then start eating and drinking as usual. For example, when Emperor Zhao died, Xu Xun and others did not delay their diet, and I believe that Emperor Daxing should also act like this. Otherwise, when you are growing your body, wouldn't it be delayed to follow the vegetarian diet for three years?

Before she was summoned by the Queen Mother that day, for fear that the children would hate the Queen Mother, she did not explicitly say that she might not be able to come back. The two children were at a loss about the turmoil their mother had passed through, and they still thought that in the days when their father had just died, their mother was busy arranging the funeral, so they didn't show up. is still mainly remembering my father, and the reaction to the news of eating meat is very contradictory, first swallowing saliva, and then hesitating, "But when I studied the "Book of Filial Piety", Mr. said that according to the "Book of Rites", in the first year of my father's death, we couldn't even eat fruit, let alone meat. ”

Xu Xundao, "Then do you want to eat meat, eat fruits, or keep filial piety?" According to the "Book of Rites", in the first year of my father's death, you couldn't even eat food at all, and you couldn't wear a leather jacket. ”

How can two children imagine the days when they go out and are blown by the cold wind and eat white rice at home? Hearing this, they all showed fear, Xu Xun touched his nodding head, and said gently, "You are all still growing your body, how can it really be the same as in the book?" There are not many people in the world who can really do a step, within 100 days, don't talk about daxiao, think about him more in the future, think about him more, worship him more, even if it is worthy of Dad's nurturing grace. ”

The two children responded in unison, sighed like adults a little bit, leaned into Xu Xun's arms, and whispered, "Mother-I miss my father so much." ”

Zhuang'er is not so pretentious that he just kept silent when he heard the words, and his attitude towards the emperor's death can be said to be the most indifferent of the sisters and brothers. Probably in addition to not being close to the emperor and not having much contact, because he is still young, the feelings accumulated over time are indeed not deep enough. It's a little bit, Emperor Daxing loves her the most in front of him, and at this time he suddenly lost his heart, which is naturally difficult to accept, listening to Mama Qian, I just heard that the emperor died a few nights, and I woke up crying in my dreams.

This time is no exception, just now I was still thinking about whether I had any meat to eat, and when I talked about my father at this time, I wanted to cry again. Xu Xun was crying by his daughter, which was also emotional, and he had suppressed the feeling for several days, because of his daughter's tears, the news of Liu Zhien's arrival in Beijing, faintly uncontrollable. She hurriedly distracted herself, picked up a little bit, coaxed a few words, and took a piece of pastry cake to coax her.

This is a dim sum made of puff pastry, because it is a puff made of lard, this womb people will not take the initiative to give some food, because the child really can't help this temptation, and he also eats very fragrantly, while eating, he can't help crying, "I, I miss my father......"

Xu Xun sighed, "You have eaten all over your body, if you want to cry or eat, make a decision - or you will cry after eating." ”

Nodded while crying, stuffed the pastry into a few gulps, and leaned on her mother's arms and cried, because Xu Xun had always taught her very strictly, crying for a while, she might be afraid that her mother would blame, so she fell to Mama Qian again, hugged her neck and howled lowly.

Xu Xun was also helpless, patted Diandian's back, and saw Mama Qian shaking her head at her, so she knew that she was going to follow Diandian's temperament, but she was afraid that she would persuade more and more - besides, there was nothing to persuade in this matter, how could the child not cry if he lost his father. asked Mama Qian to sit on the side of the kang with a little bit of her arms and cry with her.

Zhuang'er was a little embarrassed by crying, and when he saw Xu Xun looking at him, he whispered, "Mother, I'll go back to sleep." ”

Xu Xundao, "Wait." ”

She picked up another piece of crisp cake and stuffed it into Zhuang'er's mouth, "It's cold, you should have eaten more milk and meat to keep out the cold, and you have to be vegetarian if you are partial to life, you still have to go out old and wear thin...... If you want to go out, eat some puff pastry with hot tea first, so that you can get warm. ”

This is indeed her worry, on normal occasions, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, Zhuang'er and Diandian have to participate, although the clothing is multi-layered, but it is not thick. Coupled with the use of vegetable oil, vegetarian vegetables, people themselves are prone to hunger, the so-called hunger and cold, can not eat meat, the body can not be heated, don't blow the cold wind, fall ill, that is really troublesome. Children are weak, and no illness should be underestimated.

Zhuang'er bit the crisp cake, bent his eyes slightly, glanced at the still crying dot, and didn't dare to laugh too much, so he quickly restrained his expression, saluted Xu Xun with a piece of crisp cake, and exited the house.

After crying for a while, her emotions slowly calmed down, and she was also carried away by Mama Qian to rest, Xu Xun was in the house, people came in and out, and finally changed from more to less, leaving her alone lying in the bedding, staring at the top of the tent in a daze.

Since the death of the emperor, all these ups and downs, joys and sorrows, are more exciting than any big drama, and also make Xu Xun's emotions stimulated, and finally to the point of insensitivity, although she is in the game, but she seems to be an outsider, just indifferently observing everyone's reaction to the loss of the Daxing Emperor. Most of his daughters have already been martyred, and the rest are busy fighting for power and profit, dividing the territory, and the children are touched, sad, and indifferent...... As for his subordinates, in addition to Ma Shi's group of close attendants, the rest of the palace maids, although they are wearing filial piety clothes, but which one of them is not living their own lives, for them, a change of emperor is just a change of master, so why do they need to move any feelings?

said that it was the true dragon son of heaven and the honor of the ninety-five, but in fact, he was not just an ordinary person, and he was not even as good as an ordinary person, in fact, this heavenly way was really fair to the emperor, although it did not give him any luck, but it did not deduct anything from him. He treats people as they would have treated him, and there are not enough people mourning for him, perhaps just because he doesn't treat anyone very well. But if he has a little sincerity towards anyone, that person will be sad and sad about losing him.

This is human nature, but Xu Xun doesn't want to think about it, now she doesn't want to think about anything related to Emperor Daxing, she just wants to sleep well, shut all her emotions out, and dissipate all the hard work and fatigue of the past month. She was so tired that she couldn't get a good night's sleep? This is a completely reasonable thing, even if Emperor Daxing is resurrected, you can't blame her for anything, right?

But that night, she tossed and turned, and couldn't close her eyes. Sleepiness is like a lonely hong, flying into the green underworld, never to return, and every night for the past half a month, she just barely slept for half an hour, and the dream is still full of distorted and chaotic images.

#

Although she didn't sleep well these days, she didn't want to get up because she didn't sleep well, and just wanted to be in bed. Rely on it, but today Xu Xun didn't need to be urged, and she got up at the point - she was still waiting to send Zhao Lun to find Ma Shi, she came back too late last night, and she couldn't communicate with the outside at all, Zhao Lun and other internal servants had already returned to their residences to rest, and they would not come in to serve until they opened the palace gate in the morning.

The waiter entered the house, it must be after the concubines have changed their clothes and freshened up, because Xu Xun's movements today are very neat, and he wants to change his clothes as soon as he gets out of bed, so tired that several palace maids are busy speeding up their pace, and they spin around the house like a top. Xu Huan looked around and said strangely, "What about the flowers?" Why didn't you come in when you heard her voice just now? ”

The two big palace maids beside her have always been the leaders of shifts to serve, and getting up early is such an important link, and their participation has never been indispensable, hearing Xu Xun asking each other in the room, Hua'er hurriedly entered the back room, wiping her eyes and raising her voice, "Niangniang, this is coming, the wind blew my eyes just now, and I was rubbing it." ”

Xu Xunben didn't pay attention, but after hearing Hua'er's words, he glanced at her attentively, and saw that her eyes were ruddy and swollen, and her nose was also slightly red, so he said strangely, "This is nonsense - what, what's wrong?" ”

Hua'er is obviously crying, if it is in normal times, this is a big taboo, and it can't be on duty at all. However, this special period made her less conspicuous, but she still showed a bit of loyalty. After listening to Xu Xun's question, she obviously hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "No, nothing ......"

Xu Xun frowned and said, "Do you want me to ask a second time?" ”

The tears of the flowers fell, "Back to the mother's words...... Slave...... The slave maid is this morning, listening to the Liufu next to the queen's mother, last night, the girls over there in Nannei were also martyred......"

Yesterday, a few people discussed a lot of affairs, so trivial that they even discussed a few words about how to open the food in the Inner Anle Hall, Xu Xun never expected that the Queen Mother didn't mention this matter at all, and directly sent someone to do it - in her heart, these lives may indeed not be as good as the food in the Inner Anle Hall. Even though Xu Xun has come to this day, when she heard this, she still sighed in her heart, and there was a feeling of weakness and weakness, mixed with emptiness, she came out of her mind for a while, and then said, "This ...... I can't say it's a good thing, but why are you crying? ”

Hua'er's crying became even stronger, "Liufu said, maybe a few big palace maids in Kunning Palace will also ...... ...... too"

At that time, Concubine Luo had a name after giving birth because she was pregnant with a bolt, but she was definitely not the only candidate arranged by the queen, and there were several palace maids who had been favored by the emperor for a long time in Kunning Palace, but did not have a reputation - it should be said that each palace may have a few palace people who have served the emperor and slept for the emperor, but they have not even earned a name. Some are like flowers, purely unlucky, after the emperor took the medicine, he was on the head of Xing, and he didn't care about the beauty and ugliness, and after the head faded, he turned around and forgot to go out of the clouds. There are also some - also unlucky, in fact, according to the conditions, they could also enjoy the treatment of unregistered palace concubines, that is, they have a title but are not registered, such as Emperor Wen's harem, or although they don't even have a title, they can also go through the palace and officially become a part of the emperor's harem, but after the incident of Xiao Wu Meiren back then, the emperor was very unenthusiastic about promoting the palace maid as a concubine, he didn't nod, even Xu Xun couldn't help it, and others dared to speak out? Besides, once this kind of thing becomes a phenomenon, who else will have enough to eat and support and fight for others like this? At most, it is usually divided into a monthly routine and a few points less to do, and that's it. If the master is a little worse, he will send you to take care of the garden and teach the little palace maid...... Although he is decent and leisurely, and he still has silver, but if he can't see the emperor's face, there will be no chance to accept favor.

However, Saion didn't know if he was blessed, at least when the concubines were taken away and buried, these palace maids were naturally extremely happy in their hearts. Half a month later, with the martyrdom of the South Americans, they have also become a high-risk group. After all, the situation is similar, the beauties over there in Nannei also entered the palace as palace maids, and none of them were canonized, who knows if the queen mother will send these palace maids down together with her brain? Anyway, for her, it's as simple as drinking an extra cup of tea. ―― This point, the palace ladies who have been serving closely at the top of the hierarchy and can naturally hear a lot of first-hand news, how can they not know?

Hua'er has been by her side for many years, the master and servant have a very tacit understanding, how many storms have come, how could Xu Xun let her die in vain for one night so many years ago? She said, "Thinking too much, it was all years ago, who would have thought of you?" ”

Hua'er was still very frustrated, "It's not to reply to the mother's mouth, it's just ...... It's just that the slave and the maid are still known after all. ”

Although it happened outside the palace, it was reported after returning to the palace, and it was not recorded in the living notes, and the flowers were only afraid that they would be questioned if they were pregnant. And once it is reported to the female officer, it is inevitable that it will be used to chew his tongue in private, otherwise, how did Luofu know to run to tell Hua'er? Xu Xun frowned, "Don't be afraid, even if you really want to be martyred, I will protect you the same." ”

"Yes...... But Niangniang is clearly unable to protect herself...... "Hua'er was obviously about to collapse, otherwise, she wouldn't have cried in Xu Xun's house just now, "Although you didn't say it, the slaves and maids all know that as soon as the emperor goes, the old lady will bur......y you at that time."

Xu Xun couldn't cry or laugh, but she could also understand Hua'er's mood, after all, she had followed her for many years, and Xu Xun was not a big fighter, she even survived the imprisonment of Nannei, and her affection had already surpassed that of the master and servant. Hua'er had never thought that she might be martyred before, and suddenly knew that because she had been forced to sleep once many years ago, she might have to die today, and no matter how calm she was, she was afraid that she would be in chaos.

"That was in the past, and now I'm going to be given the honorific title - can't I keep someone?"

She deliberately released a confident attitude, and the flowers were really moved by her, blinking her eyes, and the tears gradually stopped, but she still replied, "It's just, it's just...... Mother, you ...... now It's not as good as it used to be......"

She could see it clearly, Xu Xun had no choice but to bring out Liu Zhien in order to encourage her, "Look at what you said, is the eldest brother gone, and we have no love in the palace?" Not to mention anything else, Liu Zhien just returned to Beijing yesterday, and I think the old lady means it, I'm afraid that I want to praise him for being in charge of the East Factory...... Even if the six Shang are all snobs, with this umbrella, what is your little thing? ”

Hua'er was taken aback, her misty eyes full of tears widened, "Liu Ye-Liu Ye is back?" ”

Xu Xun said happily, "Is this still fake?" When I entered Beijing yesterday, I went directly to Feng Enna to report, and the old lady already knew about it...... Alas, I can't explain these things to you. ”

Since the flowers cried, several palace maids in the house gradually withdrew, but Mama Zhao and Mama Sun happened to come in to serve and ask for peace, and they were all standing silently on the side at this time. It's not like Grandma Sun didn't have any suspicions in her heart, and she rushed out and asked, "Didn't he go to Nanjing because he committed an accident back then, why is he back now?" - Who brought him back? ”

This touched her sore spot, Xu Xun's face sank, and he shook his head gloomily and said, "Say it's the eldest brother...... However, I still have some doubts about this matter, and I am about to find someone to ask Ma Shi - is Zhao Lun here? If he comes, let him in. ”

Who knew that Zhao Lun didn't come in on time today - as if he had something to do this morning, and he didn't know where to go. Xu Xun Youya didn't want to hand this matter over to others, so he had to wait patiently for him. Fortunately, knowing that after Liu Zhien returned to Beijing, Hua'er's mood was completely calmed down, and she was like no one else, going in and out, busy in and out.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she finished serving breakfast and was a little absent-minded, Xu Xun asked casually.

The slave was thinking...... Han Nushi is really wise. Hua'er said first, and then said, "I don't know about the Kunning Palace...... If you really want to be martyred, you can't escape. ”

Xu Xun was noncommittal to the previous sentence, she suspected that the Queen Mother had forgotten the history of Han Nu, after all, she entered the palace several years ago, otherwise, knowing that she would not be a concubine in order not to be martyred, according to the old man's temper......

"Don't worry, if you don't even protect your own henchmen, how will the queen do things for others in the future?" She comforted Hua'er a few words, but only then did she know that Hua'er and Kunning Palace still had a relationship, at least speaking, there was a slight worry on their faces - it was reasonable, they were in a similar situation, so naturally they were a little sympathetic.

The one who can be arranged by the queen to be a surrogate must be her confidant, otherwise wouldn't it be a wedding dress for others? Hua'er thought about it, and also relieved her worries, "If the mother doesn't protect me, maybe the queen won't be silent, and now that the mother has protected me, the queen will naturally protect them." ”

This was said clearly, but it was not the identity of Hua'er, Xu Xun couldn't help but say, "You are the queen's mother...... I'm not confident. ”

Hua'er smiled and said after a while, "Niangniang, the slave maid boldly said a wordβ€”isn't she?" ”

People are doing it, and they are not only looking at the sky, but also the rest of the people. Xu Xun thought back to the queen's actions over the years, and had nothing to say, so he had to sigh, "This, I really don't know." ”

Because in Concubine Hui's palace, there are also two palace ladies who have slept in the palace, as well as Yuan Concubine, Jiao Zhaoyi and others There are also some such people around them, and I don't know what the fate will be, when Xu Xun and Hua'er were discussing this matter, Zhao Lun also arrived, and everyone was busy bringing him in, Xu Xun said, "What are you busy with in the morning?" I have something to command you. ”

Zhao Lun kowtowed his head and made a big gift when they met for the first time one day, "Back to Niangniang's words, it was Brother Ma Shi who was looking for a slave to talk last night, he lived outside the palace yesterday, far away, and it was too late to enter the palace today, please forgive Niangniang." ”

Horse Ten?

Xu Xun suddenly sat up straight, "What did he tell you to say?" ”

Zhao Lun kowtowed a few more times, "Niangniang forgives the sin, Brother Ma said, this matter-"

Without him finishing, a group of people left, and Zhao Lun said in a low voice, "Brother Ma said that the warrant to summon that person into the palace was issued on the night of the twenty-ninth night of the Lunar New Year, although Emperor Daxing did let him enter the East Factory on an errand, but he didn't say that. ”

There is no 'Feng En is old', the emperor does not dislike Feng En Lao.

Transferring Liu Zhien to the capital is not really out of talent, and he has to replace Feng En's position.

Thinking of the words spoken by the emperor on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Xun suddenly chuckled in his heart, and couldn't even say words for a while, his breath was blocked in his chest, he couldn't go up or down, and he could only sit on the ground in a daze, repeatedly recalling the soft and tired advice.

It turned out that when he said that, he was really sure that even if he died, she would be fine.

It turned out that in his heart, he already had a jihua, and in the expected ten years, he would pave the way for her, so that she could live well after he went.

It turned out that before he asked her, he already knew her answer and had accepted her answer...... It turned out that he was really nice to her.

It seems that the worst premonition has been fulfilled, and there is no way to redeem it, and it is like the most haode dream, which has finally come true, but it has changed its taste and lost its brilliance. In Xu Xun's heart, something slowly rose, extremely huge, extremely heavy, seemed to rise to the top of the skull, almost carrying her internal organs out of the skull, and then fell down suddenly, smashing on her heart, making a loud noise.

It turned out that he was really good to her, but she never believed it...... She never accepted it.

Now she can finally believe, accept, and reciprocate.

But he's dead.

Although Chang'an is not far away, there is no letter to pass on, although he is lying in the Qianqing Palace, he can no longer make any response to this world.

He may not be good to anyone, but he has always been extremely good to her, he has hurt so many people, he has failed so many people, but he has always been let down by her, hurt by her.

This fact, she can no longer change, can no longer make up for it. Everything is a foregone conclusion.
