Chapter 181: To Each His Own Calculation
Empress Xiao gave Armang a look and motioned for her to go and check.
Armand really went up and touched the forehead of the pastor all the way to the chin, checked it several times, and finally shook his head at Queen Xiao.
"What's the matter, Wanyan didn't lie to you! On weekdays, I don't want you to look at this face and be disgusting, so I covered it with a veil, if the mother is not at ease, from now on, Wanyan will not wear a veil. As he spoke, he threw the veil out with a wave of his hand.
Empress Xiao looked at the face again, it was indeed ugly, and she coughed lightly twice at the moment: "Well, you still have to cover it up!" Then, she cleared her throat again, "I'm done asking this question today, but whether you tell the truth or not, this palace still has to confirm it, so I have to wronged you to stay here for a few more days!" ”
"Huh? Mother, didn't you say that as long as Wanyan answered truthfully, you could go out? Wanyan said everything is true, look here, how can people live here? You'd better let the smoke go out as soon as possible! Wanyan promises never to mess around again! Really......" she shouted vigorously as she waved her hand.
"Alright, stop arguing! As long as you tell the truth, the mother will let you out, so just wait! Seeing that the queen mother was having a headache by her quarrel, Armand hurriedly scolded her, and then helped Queen Xiao slowly out of the cell.
When the sound of Huan Pei was gone, the pastoral rumor changed the previous image of chattering and babbling, her eyes became cold, she picked up the veil on the ground and shook it, put it back on her face, and the corners of her lips hooked into a sneer.
Empress Xiao walked out of the dungeon and walked to the secret passage next to her, which was connected to a secret room, and Xi Bochang, who had a serious face, was sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"How? Do you think she's telling the truth? Empress Xiao looked at him with a questioning look in her eyes, hoping that he could solve her doubts.
Xi Bochang closed his eyes, half loud, and then said: "There are true, there are false!" This girl is very cunning! ”
"I think so too, but I don't know what is true and what is false?" Empress Xiao twisted her waist and sat down on the chair next to him.
"This is also easy to do, think about everything badly, she must not stay!" I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go! That's what he used to do.
Empress Xiao's face changed slightly: "However, I think that she doesn't look like she's lying about the Lingshui Palace, after all, if Yuling really told her something, how could Situ Yu be so quiet at this time!"
Xi Bochang glanced at her and snorted coldly: "Even if you don't say anything now, it doesn't mean that you won't say it in the future, you will regret it sooner or later if you are a woman!" ”
"I know you're worried, but Yuling is my flesh and blood after all, how can you tell me to do it!" A pair of phoenix eyes looked at him in embarrassment.
"If you can't do it, I don't mind helping you!" Xi Bochang looked back at her with cold eyes.
"Nope! Bochang, I beg you, can you ......" Empress Xiao pleaded with a delicate face, her eyes were clear.
"Whether our lives are important or the lives of the jade spirit are important, you can do it yourself!" Xi Bochang interrupted her coldly and slapped the teacup on the table.
"This ......" Empress Xiao suddenly stopped, thinking about his words with a blank expression, her expression extremely helpless and painful.
"The six longevity characters on the embroidered picture, Lin Wanyan must have something to hide, if you want to set her again, if it doesn't work, think of other ways, in short, you must find that person!" Xi Bochang saw that she was quite emotional, and he didn't want to entangle with her on the issue of Yuling, so he changed the topic at the moment.
"I heard it then!" Empress Xiao wiped the corners of her slightly wet eyes and returned to the topic, "She answered everything else happily, but she said vaguely about this matter, so as not to arouse her suspicion, I didn't ask much." However, I have come up with a way to try it. ”
"Well, let's try it first! Lin Zhong's old puppet will definitely make trouble in the Jinluan Palace in the past two days, the emperor's side, you have to use more heart! ”
"I know this, he rewarded Lin Wanyan just to give the Lin family a little comfort, and it was also to show the world. Besides, if Ruoya is on top of this, it will not go wrong in terms of emotion and reason! ”
His weak nature, he was afraid, he felt guilty in front of Lin Zhong, and he made a decision that he shouldn't have made for a while. If you can't get anything valuable from Lin Wanyan, at least you can use her to lure the snake out of the hole, and you must not be messed up by him! ”
"I'll pay attention!" Empress Xiao looked at him, and stopped talking, "Bochang, I don't know something, this time the two countries are at war, why do you strongly recommend Ji'er to be the general of the conquest, is it just to deal with Situ Yu?" But the battlefield is so dangerous, I'm worried that he will ......."
"Don't worry, there is Situ Yudi, this battle will not be lost easily! If he wins, the credit will be his, and he will have merit when he ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne in the coming day. If he can't win the battle and get rid of Situ Yu, I will send another army to help, so what danger is there for him? ”
"You really will send troops to help him!" Empress Xiao stroked her chest, "In this way, I will be at ease!" ”
In the study of King Yi's mansion.
Situ Yun and Zuo Heng listened solemnly to the sound of what happened in the palace of the king of Richen.
"You mean Concubine Lin, she was captured by Xi Bochang?" Situ Yun's sword frowned. As soon as he returned to Beijing today, he heard about this incident, but there were many versions outside, so he couldn't figure out what was going on. I was about to send someone to inquire, but I said that I was looking for a sound.
"Yes! The master could have escaped, but she said that she was afraid of affecting the old marquis, so she said that she would not leave anything. She said that she couldn't carry this charge, only the old marquis and Princess Yi could help her! ”
"She said, let you come to the princess, but not to the king?" Situ Yun felt a little lost in her heart, did she really want to stop being friends with herself?
Seeing that his face was not good, Lang Yin knew that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and now as long as she can save the master, she thinks she can find anyone.
"The master probably said that she was used to it for a while, in fact, how could she not know that the princess was still in Xiaoyue, wouldn't looking for her be the same as looking for you, the prince?"
Situ Yun nodded: "Miss Rongyin, you go down with Zuo Heng to rest first, if your master has something, this king will naturally not stand idly by!" ”
"Then thank you so much! If you can save the master from coming out, you will be rewarded as a cow and a horse! She threw herself on her knees and kowtowed to Situ Yun.
"Girl, please get up!" He motioned to Zuo Heng to help her up, "This matter is involved in Xi Bochang, it is very tricky, whether it will succeed or not, this king is not sure, he can only do his best!" ”
"Whether it succeeds or not, it is enough to have the words of the prince! Oh, by the way, I've been out for two days, and I haven't dared to come to the door, for fear of being followed and affecting you, but the strange thing is that I ran outside for two days, but I didn't find a single pursuer, I don't know what Xi Bochang secretly used! Be careful! ”
"Well, this king knows, don't worry!"
Chenwangfu Grace Garden.
Xi Ruoya was lying on the bed, and the Duchess Tang Yuwan personally took care of her by the bed.
"Mother, you go and rest first, just let Chunlan do this!"
"Don't worry, you suffered such a big loss this time, but my mother is distressed to death, you just let me find peace of mind!"
The mother and daughter were talking, Chunmei entered the house, walked to Xi Ruoya's side and whispered a few words.
Xi Ruoya was surprised: "What is she doing here?" "Let her in!" ”
After a while, Chunmei led a woman into the house, and she bowed to Xi Ruoya and Tang Yuwan: "The slave maid greets the lady and the princess, and wishes the princess a speedy recovery!" ”
Xi Ruoya stared at her coldly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, didn't the prince send you somewhere else?" ”
"The matter of slaves and maids is not enough to worry about, but this time I came back and sincerely wanted to help the princess!"
"Oh? Are you the one who waited on her, but you are willing to help this princess? Should this princess believe you? Xi Ruoya looked at her suspiciously.
"Why was the slave and maid sent, presumably the princess also knows that the slave and maid are unwilling, and the princess also needs this, whether it is worth believing or not, the princess must know it in her heart!"
"But you have such a heavy sense of revenge, how dare this princess use it, besides, she has been in prison, and what needs help at this moment is that she is not this princess!" Xi Ruoya is very disdainful of this kind of slave who betrays the old master.
"How can the princess be sure that she will be in trouble? Maybe Guan came out unharmed in two days, and this kind of thing hasn't happened before, and in the end, isn't it all about danger, so that she will turn evil into good fortune? ”
Xi Ruoya narrowed her eyes, remembering what happened to Lin Wanyan in the palace before, and finally not only returned home safely, but also won Situ Yu's favor, the more she thought about it, the more resentful she became, and she said unconvinced: "This time, that time." Before, she just relied on the support of the prince, but this time the prince is out on the expedition, and she is harming the flesh and blood of the prince, see who else can protect her! ”
"The princess's mood is very understandable, but there is still the old Marquis Lin behind her, even if the Lin Mansion falls, but after all, it is also after Zhongliang, and now he is beating the staff, and there are many soldiers who are still General Lin's old department, and the emperor has to have some scruples! What's more, there is another person who is the key to saving her......" Speaking of this, she sold it slightly.
"Who?!" Xi Ruoya's eyes lit up, and she stood up to save Lin Wanyan at this time, didn't she make it clear that she wanted to be her enemy!
"Well......" she looked at the people in the room, "that's what the slave came here for!" ”
Mrs. Tang saw a lot of these famous halls, and without waiting for Xi Ruoya to speak, she quickly got up and beckoned the people in the house to leave together, leaving Chunmei alone to serve on the side.
"Now, you can say it!"
"Don't worry, princess, there is something here for the slave maid, you can see it at a glance!"
I saw her take out a delicate scroll from her sleeve, Chunmei took it and opened the scroll gently, but it was a portrait of a person, but the people in the painting made them stunned.
Even Xi Ruoya couldn't help but prop herself up, and said with sharp eyes: "Are you talking about him?" ”
