Chapter 264: The Qiankun Palace
Looking at the sky, it was already pitch black, and even the faint starlight was obscured by the gradually moving dark clouds, Jiang thought to himself that it was already so late, Princess Xiaoyang's assassination was just this afternoon, since there was no accident at this time, it should be that he didn't find his head at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang immediately pretended to be calm and said: "Yes, Cuiliu is right, Mrs. Ben can't mess with herself, Mrs. Ben still has Rui'er and Kang'er, my poor Rui'er is only my mother's wife, Cuiliu, this matter must not be known to the master, understand?" ”
Jiang Shi figured it out, and put on her wife's style again, with a dustless appearance under her eyes, as if no one could get into her eyes, and no one was worthy of her words.
This time, it was Jiang who thought too simply, the assassination of Princess Xiaoyang was not that she was not found, but that she had not started to investigate, if she did, how could she Jiang escape.
"What do you two masters and servants say that you can't let my lord know? The god is mysterious, and I don't want the master to know about it! Guo Ji, who had just returned home, heard Jiang's words that he couldn't let the master know, Guo Ji's heart was curious, so he asked.
This question happened to be asked on Jiang's scar, and his face changed in an instant, and he said hesitantly: "The concubine's body can ...... What can you hide from the master, the concubine is just a Cuiliu joke, right, Cuiliu! ”
"Yes, master, the slave and the maid are talking to the lady about the four famous sons of our rare capital, and the lady said that when the lord was young, none of the four princes was as good as the master, and the slave and the maid laughed a few words with the lady, and the lady told the slave and the maid not to let the master know these words!" Cuiliu quietly uncovered what Jiang said, and made up a few nonsense words at random, which could make Guo Ji laugh.
Sure enough, Guo Ji laughed heartily when he heard this, watching Jiang's gaze become more and more soft, like a warm spring breeze in March, even Jiang couldn't believe that such a gaze could burst out from Guo Ji's eyes.
Jiang looked at Guo Ji like this, and nodded appreciatively at Cuiliu, which was understandable to recognize Cuiliu's urgency and wisdom, and also encouraged Cuiliu's wit.
"Master, isn't the concubine afraid that the lord will know the joke, and the concubine's eyelids are shallow? You see, when the lord found out, he really made fun of the concubine. "Jiang is also a person who is used to making people happy, Cuiliu has already said it to that extent, if she still doesn't understand, she will live in vain for so many years.
The night was deeper, and the later it was, the colder the weather became, but Jiang's house was hot, and even the biting cold wind could not blow away the spring light in a room.
In the early morning, the light through the window lattice was brighter than before, and July wondered why there was such a different change at the same hour.
Outside the window, there is a white expanse, the most in the maple courtyard is the maple tree, the autumn north wind took away the maple leaves like fire, this winter, after a snowstorm, and gave the maple a white shirt.
One night, there is quite an illusion that suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom, overnight, the yard is no longer monotonous fallen leaves, but more than a foil.
"Princess, it's snowing, it's just one night's work, it's already snowy, but the snow in this rare capital is really more than Yong'an City, and we can't see snow in Yong'an City a few times a year, but the princess is injured, but she can't see the beauty of this first snow." The soft voice of the Ling Ling was very harsh in July's ears, which was clearly stimulating herself!
However, I don't want to take care of the spirit in July, this girl obviously wants to induce herself, but she has seen countless people in the world, how could she be deceived by a little girl, when can this snow scene not be appreciated, when to Jin Guo, the least thing in the future is snow.
July was indifferent and lay on the bed and didn't care about the Ling, thinking about his own affairs, and paying attention to the little girl from time to time.
"Qiao Ling, how is your Aunt Jiyu, yesterday the princess fell asleep and forgot about Jiyu, is her injury also very serious?" July asked sadly, she didn't expect that the temporary change of mind would make Jiyu and Eleven bruises, and her heart was extremely uneasy.
Hearing that July mentioned Jiyu, Yu Ling couldn't help it anymore, and said anxiously: "Princess, Aunt Yu asked the slave maid to tell you that she has nothing to do, just some small injuries, not in the way, yesterday Imperial Doctor Li asked Imperial Doctor Xu to show Aunt Jiyu, Gardenia Ling was by Aunt Yu's side at that time, and the slave and maid later asked Gardenia Ling, Gardenia Ling also said that it was okay, as long as it was good to live and recuperate, but the princess's injury almost hurt her heart and lungs, and she was afraid that she would have to recuperate for a period of time in the future." ”
Yesterday, Qiao Ling has been following Imperial Doctor Li's side, the princess is a woman, Imperial Doctor Li is a man, there has been a difference between men and women since ancient times, not to mention Her Royal Highness the princess of golden branches and jade leaves, such a thing as dealing with wounds naturally fell into the hands of Qiao Ling, Qiao Ling looked at the wound that was constantly oozing blood, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, Imperial Doctor Li said, fortunately, the sword was biased, otherwise there would be nothing to be done.
July deliberately asked the spirit to open a small corner of the window, the spirit originally didn't agree to the killing, or July said that she was willing to open such a small corner, through the corner of the window, the white snow is a little dazzling, the sky has been clear, and today is a good day.
"Ling, are Lord Yun and Uncle Dusk already here?" July asked, Lord Yun and Twilight are going to enter the palace today, for their plan.
Qiao Ling said seriously: "Princess, Lord Yun and Commander Twilight are next door, they came early, but the princess slept well, the slave didn't dare to disturb the princess, the day was cold, the slave maid took it upon herself to let Lord Yun go to the next door to avoid the cold, if the princess has spirit, the slave and the maid will go to invite the two adults, but the princess should put a screen in front of the bed, after all, there is a difference between men and women." ”
Saying that, Qi Ling took care of himself and ordered someone to move a screen to cover July's bed, and before July could even say anything to refute, his vision was already cut off.
In a matter of moments, Lord Yun and Twilight entered July's boudoir, which was originally an unruly thing, but thinking that July was injured, Lord Yun didn't stick to the etiquette.
"Weichen, subordinates see the princess, the princess is blessed!" When Lord Yun saw the screen, there was a little more praise in his eyes, even if he didn't have to be polite a few times in July, Lord Yun still did his own thing.
July shook his head: "Lord Yun, Commander Twilight, please get up, please Lord Yun and Commander Twilight to see each other today, for the assassination of this princess yesterday, this princess has only been in Jin Country for half a year, and she has encountered two assassinations, and I don't know if the people of Jin Country do not welcome this princess at all, this foreign and pro-princess, Lord Yun, this princess represents Tang Dui's face, today's matter, please Yun Lord take a lot of trouble, this princess is unwell, Imperial Doctor Li told not to move, Otherwise, this princess will go to the Qiankun Palace in person no matter what, and ask the emperor for an explanation! ”
"The Lu of the Eater is the king's worries, Weichen is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally wants to live for the Tang Dusk, this time the princess and her relatives encountered such a bad thing, if the Emperor of Jin State does not give Tang Duan an explanation, then Jin Guo will not take me Tang Du in his eyes." Yunxiao said indignantly, and his words were quite angry.
July smiled and said Yanyan, Yunxiao can have such an idea, even if it is old-fashioned and stubborn, it is also the blessing of Tang Dui, July Wen said: "Lord Yun, then please bother, this princess can rest assured, Jin Guo has repeatedly not put this princess in his eyes, and my Tang Dui's face will be handed over to Lord Yun!" ”
With Yunxiao's circumstance, everything will be worry-free in July, Yunxiao is the most important person in the country's righteousness, otherwise he would not have asked for a decree to send his relatives to Jin State.
"Commander Twilight, enter the palace and listen to Lord Yun's instructions, those two people will be handed over to Lord Yun, you just need to deter the courtiers of Jin State on the side, and let them Jin Guo understand that I Tang Twilight is not bullied, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily, that one will not allow this princess to take advantage of this, Jin Bei is in turmoil, the East China Sea is unstable, and people are already panicking, if this princess has another accident, Tang Dusk Yancheng's army will be overwhelmed, Leng Yang will be bitter and can't say it, he is a smart person, and he will only do beneficial things." July said lightly, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, princess!" In Jin State, Xiao Yang is the king, they are the ministers, Xiao Yang's words, they naturally will not refute, let alone a stubborn and old-fashioned person like Yunxiao.
Looking at the backs of Twilight and Yunxiao leaving, July smiled lightly, at this time, she only needed to wait for Yunxiao and their good news, waiting for Jiang to quietly cover up the self-dug grave.
"Qiao Ling, give the letter in the Yimeng travelogue on the princess's bookshelf to Hongyue, let Hongyue send it to Jin Bei as soon as possible, and hand it over to Mu Wangye, this letter is very important, there must be no mistakes, understand?" July whispered to Qiao Ling, the letter was prepared by her a long time ago, and it involved a lot of military and political matters, except for Hongyue, no matter who she handed it to, she was not at ease.
According to July's instructions, Qiao Ling really found a letter in the book on the shelf, remembering the princess's instructions, she also knew that this was a very urgent and important matter, and she kept telling herself in her heart that she must not spoil her princess's affairs.
"Princess, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely handle this matter well, even if they are desperate, the slave and maid will not show their traces, and the red moon girl will also make it clear, and she will never miss the princess's affairs." Qiao Ling patted his chest and reassured, and the little face that was as pink as a flower made a serious appearance.
July felt funny when he looked at the pretended serious posture of the Ling, and he didn't know how his maid's brain grew, and he always looked like he was not approached by anyone on weekdays.
"Okay, go ahead, I'll leave this matter to you, this princess can't be more relieved, this princess has a grandmother here, you don't have to worry." July couldn't bear to tear down the little bit of caution in Qi Ling's heart, anyway, this girl jumped out of some and the rest was fine.
If he got his own princess, Qiao Ling happily left the Qingyue Platform quietly from the side door, in fact, Qiao Ling was too cautious and careful, such a big thing happened in Qingyuetai, or the result of their negligence, the emperor was furious, and ordered them to atone for their sins, their minds at this time were not on Qingyue Platform at all, even if Qiao Ling went out of Qingyue Platform openly, they didn't have the heart to take care of it.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the charcoal has been burned in the boudoir in July, and there is heat in the house, and the north wind is bleak, rolling up the vast white snow.
Compared with the silence of Qingyuetai, the Qiankun Hall in the palace is full of hustle and bustle, about the assassination of Princess Xiaoyang, Yunxiao just entered the Qiankun Hall and took this matter to Emperor Jin Wen, asking him to give Tang Duan an explanation anyway.
"Your Majesty, I, Tang Dui, have been sincerely and sincerely with Jin Guo for a hundred years, Yunxiao looked coldly at the situation of our princess these days, and found that Jin Guo did not attach as much importance to the matter of harmony as the emperor said, yesterday our Princess Xiaoyang was assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing, I hope the emperor will give us a reasonable explanation for Tang Dui, otherwise, Tang Dui will never give up." Yunxiao's tough attitude is impossible to refuse, and the attitude of neither humility nor arrogance is not to be underestimated.
Before Yunxiao's words fell, he gave Twilight a look, and Twilight immediately spoke after receiving Yunxiao's eyes: "Your Majesty, we must have an explanation for the assassination of our princess, last night Ben sent a book that had been repaired to Yancheng quickly, the princess was assassinated, so I don't take Tang Dui in my eyes, I would have thought that the Yancheng guard would not be indifferent!" ”
Anyone can hear the full of provocation and threat in Duxi's words, but no one in the Jin State and the opposition dares to sing this word, Leng Yang, who is sitting high on the dragon chair, gritted his teeth and held back his anger, at this time, only calm can solve things.
Listening to Dusk Xi mention Yancheng, Leng Yang is like a deflated balloon, after so many years, he is indeed afraid of the defenders of Yancheng, when he mentions Yancheng, he has a kind of jealousy and fear that comes out of his bones, no matter what, he can't suppress the same palpitations.
"Lord Twilight. What do you mean by this, it's just that he was assassinated, and he didn't die, is it worth your special letter to send to Yancheng? According to the prince of Ben, the twilight commander is impure in his mind, and deliberately wants to provoke a war between Tang Twilight and the Jin State, Twilight commander, what are you thinking about doing this? Prince Leng Tong was so anxious that he stomped his feet when he heard Dushi's words, he didn't like the people around Princess Xiaoyang the most on weekdays, and he couldn't wait to point at Duxi's nose and scold.
The prince's gaffe, everyone looked at it, especially the emperor on the dragon chair, his face turned red with anger, and he couldn't understand how he gave birth to such a foolish son.
"Okay, the prince of Jin is really cultivated and courageous, fortunately, our princess is as wise as a torch, and she has already seen through the essence of the prince of Jin Guo, otherwise, wouldn't our princess regret it." Yunxiao squinted his eyebrows and looked at Prince Leng Tong with disdain, just Prince Leng Tong's short-sighted appearance, he was not a good person at first glance.
Leng Tong didn't know how Yunxiao belittled him to worthlessness in his heart, even if he was such a prince, in Yunxiao's eyes, he was just a thing that could not be put on the table.
"Ahem" Leng Yang listened to Yunxiao's words to belittle the prince, and felt very embarrassed and embarrassed, no matter what, Leng Tong was also the prince of Jin State, and was despised by Yunxiao in front of all the ministers in the Qiankun Palace, this is the shame of Jin State.
"Okay, I will convene all the ministers and Tang Dui envoys today, for the assassination of Princess Xiaoyang, as for the rest of the things, let's put it down first." Leng Yang glared at the prince Leng Tong fiercely, he already regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't let him be together, and he would not be able to achieve more than anything.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no brains is a well-known thing for the courtiers, but he didn't expect that the prince, who is not a troublemaker on weekdays, would suddenly jump out today to stir up the situation, and the people in the Qiankun Palace felt bad in their hearts when they heard the prince's words, let alone Tang Duan's people.
The princess who also cursed the people of Tang Twilight was not dead, isn't this something that only people with confused brains can do? Hearing Yunxiao's disdainful words, they didn't argue, after all, some things were indeed the prince's, and they had no reason to refute them.
"Then Yunxiao is waiting for the emperor to give us an explanation to Tang Duan, our princess Xiaoyang is a golden branch and jade leaf, this assassination almost killed our princess, Imperial Doctor Li said, if it weren't for the position of a grain of rice, our princess would not be able to save it." Yunxiao said bitterly, and even said the current state of July, he didn't believe that Jin Guo dared not to be happy.
The Qiankun Hall fell silent again, except for Twilight and Yunxiao, the rest of the people all lowered their heads deeply, no one wanted to go to this troubled water, especially after seeing Twilight and Yunxiao's tough attitude, they didn't dare to speak even more.
"Lord Yun, Commander Twilight, I will definitely give Tang Twilight a satisfactory explanation for this matter, I am also angry and sad about the assassination of Princess Xiaoyang, I immediately ordered that the people of the Tai Hospital go to Qingyue Platform to guard, no matter what is needed, take it from the treasury in the palace, the assassination of Princess Xiaoyang, no matter what the result is, I will deal with it strictly." Leng Yang assured that he could only appease Yunxiao and Commander Twilight at this time, after all, the aggressive appearance of these two people really couldn't be provoked.
With Leng Yang's words, Yunxiao and Twilight's expressions looked much better, and they were no longer unapproachable and lonely, Leng Yang's words were their booster.
Naturally, the crown prince Leng Tong heard Leng Yang bow his head, he was very dissatisfied, in his eyes, Princess Xiaoyang is just a princess of harmony, since she has embarked on the road of harmony, then she Princess Xiaoyang is a person from Jin State, why is she a powerful person in Jin State, and he is still alive and withdraws from him, which has made him a joke in the eyes of Jin people, and also made him and the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion all over the city.
"Father, is it ...... you to do this" Leng Tong objected without a look, he didn't want the matter of Princess Xiaoyang's assassination to be solved so satisfactorily, it was best to be able to make that person suffer.
However, Leng Tong never got his wish, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted angrily by Leng Yang: "Prince, you shut up for me!" ”
