Chapter 4: Nine Deaths and One Life

Yao Duran looked at it, became more and more sure, and replied softly: "Chief, the slave and maid should not be the master, there are His Majesty and the queen in this palace, as well as the concubines, and the master who works hard like the chief manager, the slave and the maid are as humble as dust, how dare they look down on themselves." ”

"Yao Meiren is so eloquent." The chief eunuch looked at her again and said, "Okay, what's the matter with you calling our house?" ”

Yao Duran whispered softly: "Chief, that's the case, the slave wants to see the queen, but no one has passed on the slave and maid for a long time this morning, no, the slave and maid are going to see again, and I happened to meet the chief, I wonder if the chief can take the slave to see the queen?" ”

After Yao Duran finished speaking, he suddenly said again: "Don't move, those chamberlains are too rude, and the dust is sprinkled on the chief manager." As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand and brushed it on his shoulder, and then gently opened her lips and blew.

Lan Xiang entered his nose, and the chief eunuch suddenly shook his heart, he crossed his arms and smiled: "Our family can take you to see the queen mother, but I don't know, why are you so anxious to see the mother?" ”

Yao Duran met his eyes, smiled lightly and said slowly: "Back to the manager, the slave maid wants to beg the maid to abolish the position of the slave maid's beauty, and let the slave maid stay in Fengyi Palace as an errand from now on, so that she can serve the maid and get some tips under the chief manager." ”

Sure enough, when the chief eunuch heard this, the smile in his eyes became even stronger: "You are a smart person." Okay, let's go with us. ”

She smiled: "Thank you Steward, it's so nice." ”

The chief eunuch couldn't help but look at her again, and saw that she was graceful and exquisite, with a small face white and pure water, a sweet mouth, and a bit of coquettishness in her words.

"Let's go, you are still a beauty, let our family support the beauty, right?" He held out his hand as he spoke.

Yao Duran understood in her heart, and took his hand with a smile. Sure enough, as he walked, his hand rubbed her hand intentionally or unintentionally, Yao Duran sneered in his heart, but he didn't know it on his face, but he responded to him, wrapping his snow-white hand with his slender hand.

He glanced sideways at her.

Yao Duran put on a worried and scared look again, looking pitiful: "By the way, the manager, in fact, the slave maid is also afraid of the queen's mother, if the mother is not happy later, what can the slave and maid do?" ”

The chief eunuch listened and looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, our family will speak well for you." ”

She smiled again: "Mr. Xie." ”

He looked ahead, his face was good-looking, and for a moment, she thought that she was walking with a beautiful son, where was the eunuch.

When he was in a trance, he only heard him say seriously: "Good life, remember the name of our family, our family's name is Qiao Fengzhi." ”

"Yes, thank you Mr. Qiao, the manager is a celebrity in front of the queen's mother, you say the last sentence, it is more effective than the other masters in this palace to say ten sentences."

……

After arriving at Fengyi Palace, Qiao Fengzhi asked her to wait under the verandah of the hall, and he himself went inside.

The dormitory has been smoked with canopy incense, suppressing the bloody gas. Behind the swaying bead curtain, the queen was lying on the chaise longue with her eyes closed and resting, and she sent away her lover's body, obviously physically and mentally exhausted at the moment.

Qiao Fengzhi stood outside the bead curtain and looked at it, and then quietly turned around.

"Bong."

Suddenly the queen's lazy voice came from behind him.

Qiao Fengzhi turned around and said softly: "Niangniang is awake?" Is it that the slave is noisy? ”

The queen rubbed the corners of her forehead: "Fengzhi, come and help the palace." ”

"Yes." Qiao Fengzhi opened the bead curtain and walked in, helped her sit up, and comforted: "Niangniang, everything is done." You can also dissipate the depression in your heart. ”

"Hey...... Everyone is gone, what else can be done? You send someone out of the palace to spread the word, and let Xiao Yue enter the palace at night to accompany the palace. The queen said with a sly expression.

"Yes." After Qiao Fengzhi finished speaking, he said: "By the way, Niangniang, there is a Yao beauty who has come twice today, and she asked to see Niangniang, and she is kneeling outside the hall at this time." ”

"Oh? Yao Meiren? Those beauties don't dig a hole in the ground and hide, but dare to come to see the palace? Interesting. Go, let her in. "Queen's Road.

"Yes."

After a while, Qiao Fengzhi led Yao Duran in.

Yao Duran bowed her head outside the bead curtain and knelt down, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid knock to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

The queen said nonchalantly: "Hmm." In. ”

"Yes." Yao Duran slowly got up.

Gong E, who was standing quietly in the hall, stepped forward and gently brushed the bead curtain, Yao Duran walked in step by step, and knelt in front of her beauty couch.

"Look up." Queen's Road.

Yao Duran raised his head obediently, his eyes raised slightly, and then quickly lowered again.

Just that glance made her hate to devour the poisonous woman in front of her alive.

The queen looked at her a few times, and said in a light tone: "Well, it is a few beautiful women with charm." Say, "What's the matter?" ”

Yao Duran said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, the slave and maid ask to see because there are two things to report to Niangniang. The first thing is that Lin Meiren, who lived in the same room with the slave maid, committed suicide, she secretly vomited last night and was discovered by the slave maid, the slave maid is loyal to the mother, and naturally she must abide by the order of the mother, so this morning the slave maid came to Fengyi Palace to report her, but no one passed it on, and the slave and maid went back. Lin Meiren saw that the slave maid was going to denounce her, so she committed suicide with her own hairpin in fear, and the body was still in the room at this time. ”

The queen didn't care after hearing this: "Well, if it's dead, it's dead, just let people drag the body away." Say, what's the second thing? ”

Yao Duran continued: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid wants to beg Niangniang to abolish the slave's position as a beauty, and let the slave maid be a palace maid and stay in Fengyi Palace to serve Niangniang. ”

"Oh?" At this moment, the queen was a little surprised: "You are really interesting, this palace has only heard of water flowing to a low place, but I have never heard of someone who is willing to be cheap." ”

Yao Duran slowly said: "Back to Niangniang, although the slave maid is a beauty, she has no intention of serving Your Majesty. The slave admires Niangniang very much in her heart, and she only wants to serve by her side. Niangniang is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and she is the female Yao Shun, who strives to protect His Majesty's throne, calm the rebellion of the princes, and stick to the country. ”

When the words fell, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and then the queen laughed heartily: "Giggles...... Hey, Fengzhi, listen quickly, there is finally a sensible person in this palace. ”

"Niangniang, the world's prejudice against you is too deep, but the slave maid sees it clearly, North Vietnam is inherited to this dynasty, if it is not for Niangniang's full power, it has already become chaotic, but the world is pedantic, that is, I can't get used to seeing women in power, so no one understands Niangniang's hard work and dedication."

Yao Duran opened his eyes and said nonsense.

After the collapse of the first emperor, which prince succeeded to the throne is not what it is now. It's just that the wood has been completed, after all, it was the cowardly and incompetent Xiahou Bo who succeeded to the throne, and later if it wasn't for the dictatorship of the poisonous queen, it was inhumane, and the princes would not rebel, so why did she need to suppress the chaos?

"Giggle......" The queen laughed again after hearing her words: "Oh, this palace has not seen such a delicate person for a long time, who is both sensible and eloquent. ”

Yao Duran listened to her words, and her heart was relieved. If she wants to gain her favor and trust, what is it to reverse right and wrong? What is it to open your eyes and tell nonsense? What is it to seduce a eunuch?

Here, the queen laughed enough, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes were dyed with coldness again, and she ordered irrelevant things: "Fengzhi, go and fetch a basin of water." ”

Qiao Feng knew that something was wrong, and after hesitating for a moment, he went out and brought in a basin of water.

The queen looked at Yao Duran, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with pity: "Although what you said is very good, this palace always thinks that there is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief." Bong, press her head in and drown her! ”

When Yao Duran heard this, there was a loud "boom" in his head, and his heart collapsed.

"Niangniang, this ......" Qiao Fengzhi raised his head to meet the queen's eyes when he said, and he instantly understood in his heart.

"Yes." He answered, and then pulled up the basin of water that Yao Duran approached behind him.

Yao Dui's heart is dead, there is no hope of revenge and she has to lose her life, no, she is unwilling! She will perish with the poisonous woman!

Just as she was thinking about it, her slender hand was suddenly pinched by Qiao Fengzhi, she looked up in shock, and met his face, only to see that he quickly gave her a lip word, looking at the lip shape, it was the word "rest assured".

At this moment, Yao Duran also understood.

It turned out that the queen was testing her.

In the face of life and death, a person's heart is the most unhidden. If someone else is given death by the queen, some will be unwilling to beg for mercy, some will be resentful and crying, and some will scold.

And she, too, almost lost control, ready to pull out the hairpin and rush to the poisonous woman!

It's dangerous, it's dangerous!

"The slave and the maid thank the queen for her death, and the slave and the maid can die under the hands of the mother, which is a supreme blessing. May the mother and phoenix be healthy and happy. Yao Duran suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, said such a thing, and then knocked a song, got up and walked to the basin by himself.

"Even if you know each other, you are still thinking about the queen when you are dying." After Qiao Fengzhi finished speaking, he pressed her head into the basin of water.

In an instant, the cold water flooded her mouth and nose, and she was suffocated in a deep depression, and the air in her chest was quickly exhausted, and the discomfort was overwhelming. She took a painful sip, and the icy cold water instantly rushed to her head, causing her to faint with severe pain.

Just when her consciousness was drifting, there was a "bang", and Qiao Fengzhi lifted her head again. The warmth and air immediately favored her, and she sucked it up greedily, and couldn't stop coughing.

The queen looked at her embarrassed and said with satisfaction: "Okay, he is really a credible person, and he has no complaints before he dies, and he is worried about the palace." ”

Yao Duran finished coughing, knelt down and said: "Back to the mother, when the slave and maid seemed to wake up and were confused, she actually dreamed of Ye Jiaren, she said to the slave maid, I was cooked alive by the queen's mother, I didn't measure myself, and I deserved it, but you are loyal to the queen's mother, why did you come to the water?" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed heartily again: "Giggles...... Funny, funny, giggle...... Okay, okay, Hongu likes you, what's your name? How old is it? ”

Yao Duran said: "Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is cheaply named Yao Duran, seventeen this year." ”

"Okay, from now on, you will serve by the side of this palace, and you don't have to do it from the low-level palace." Queen's Road.
