Chapter 141: The water is green and the wind is slightly warm
"The Queen, the Queen." Yifang was in the middle of the hall, and suddenly heard a thin voice calling her softly, as if she didn't want others to find out.
Yifang was alone at this time, so he walked over to the source of the sound, which came in from the innermost window. Feeling that the voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, and it didn't sound lethal, she suddenly opened the window, revealing the face of a little palace maid outside.
Yifang looked at her carefully, she remembered this face, every time she went to the Changting Hall to find Gu Wenzhou in the past, she helped open the door.
"You're Gui'er?"
"It's okay, the mother still remembers the slave." Gui'er smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, looking very lively and cute.
Yifang beckoned to her: "Since you're here, let's come in quickly, why is you hiding outside?" ”
Yifang was about to go out to see her after speaking, but Gui'er hurriedly waved her hand: "Niangniang, don't come out, the slave and maid came quietly, and no one can see it." ”
Hearing her say this, Yi Fang's face became a little heavier, something must have happened.
"It's Gu ...... Marquis Heisei asked you to come to Hongu? ”
Yifang guessed it, and saw Gui'er nodding happily: "Niangniang, Gu Xiangshi picked up a letter and a pair of butterfly hairpins at the gate of the palace today, saying that Niangniang asked her to send them over, Gu Xiangshi asked the slave maid to ask Niangniang, is there such a thing?" ”
Hearing that Gui'er still called him "Gu Xiangshi", Yifang couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart. But then she shook her head: "This palace has never asked people to send anything to the Changting Palace. ”
"That's it, Gu Xiangshi also guessed like this. Let the slave and maid come over quietly, firstly, to confirm this matter with Niangniang, and secondly, to remind Niangniang that someone may have used this matter to set a trap, and asked Niangniang to be careful in everything. ”
Yifang nodded seriously: "This palace knows, thank you for coming here." ”
"Niangniang and Gu Xiangshi were very good to the slave maid before, and the slave maid was willing to do things for the maid." Gui'er whispered this, then bent on her waist again and tiptoed away.
Yifang only now has a number in his heart, Mrs. Shen's gang is really powerful, and they even found out such a long-ago thing. It's just that the ability to detect news is good, but the ability to use news is average.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left before the time mentioned in the letter, and Mrs. Shen began to go to Liu Heng's ear to say a few words according to Lu Lu's instructions.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have heard some rumors in the palace recently, and they are very interesting, and the concubines want to tell the emperor a joke."
Liu Heng pretended to be interested: "Is it so funny?" Then you can talk about it, and make me happy. ”
"The concubine heard that Princess Lu Yuan's concubine Pingcheng Marquis has been getting very close to Jiaofang Hall recently, and she wants to abandon the princess and escape from the palace with the queen!" Mrs. Shen looked at Liu Heng's sudden face, and continued, "And Deng Tong, a big businessman who is outside the palace and is highly praised in Chang'an City, I heard that he once had a relationship with the queen mother, and now the old love is rekindled, I am afraid that he is also thinking about eloping with the queen mother!" When the time comes, they will rob people on both sides, and I don't know who the queen will choose in the end? ”
"You are presumptuous! The queen will not allow you to talk freely! Liu Heng finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table and yelled at her.
Mrs. Shen's legs and feet were weak in fright, Liu Heng had never been so fierce to her, and his current appearance was really terrifying. Mrs. Shen hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the concubines just heard that everyone in the palace passed it on like this, so they told the emperor to hear it." The concubine believed that the queen would not do this, so she listened to it as a joke and listened to it. ”
"What is such a ridiculous thing, not a joke?" Liu Heng's anger is still unsubsidy.
"Then does the emperor want to put down all these rumors?" Mrs. Shen asked cautiously.
"Anything else? Let's hear it all together. ”
"And ...... The time when the queen mother fled as rumored by the palace people was just three days later. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng frowned even more, his fist tightened and then released: "That's it, three days later, let's see what the situation is!" Although the rumors in the palace are mostly exaggerated, they are not groundless. ”
"The emperor is wise." Mrs. Shen took it in passing, but found that Liu Heng's face was even more unsightly, so she quickly shut up again.
Liu Heng was concerned about this matter after all, and three days later, he actually took someone to ambush in the place that Mrs. Shen said, just waiting to see if Yifang would leave here.
"Your Majesty, why should we do this? The queen mother is still pregnant, and I heard that she will give birth next month, how could she flee at this juncture? Wu Ping felt that now Liu Heng lost his mind as soon as he encountered the Yifang incident, and even he couldn't stand it.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming." A eunuch next to him reminded him, and Wu Ping's voice was drowned out.
Everyone stared at that side with blazing eyes, and the person who came turned out to be a Yifang. Liu Heng's originally confident heart also became apprehensive, for fear that what he saw next would be Gu Wenzhou, or Deng Tong, who had not come to the palace out of nowhere.
After waiting for a while, things were really as he imagined, and Gu Wenzhou came with a smile. As soon as he came over, he went straight to the front of Yifang, and the two of them laughed and talked, and seemed to get along very happily.
Liu Heng was angry for a while, this was still in the palace, and the two dared to laugh so wantonly, so they had to pay it back outside the palace. Just as he was about to rush out, another person came not far away.
Seeing Deng Tong approaching leisurely, Yifang and Gu Wenzhou actually beckoned to him, and after the three of them got together, they sat down in the pavilion on the side. Although there was no physical contact, the three of them talked happily, which made Liu Heng angry. He felt that at this moment, he was betrayed not only by his wife, but also by his best friend.
This feeling made Liu Heng feel very uncomfortable, and he raised his hand backwards, signaling the eunuchs behind him to get ready. Even if his heart is painful, he will catch all three of them.
But before Liu Heng's hand was waved, there were some more people over there, all of whom were several officials in the court, with their families around them, and some concubines later. As more and more people came over, Liu Heng actually saw Ouyang Ziqian, and he also greeted Yifang with a smile on his face, sat down beside them again, and laughed and talked together.
Liu Heng was confused for a while, and when he was full of speculation, the soles of his feet stepped on a dead branch carelessly, and this sound immediately attracted their attention. Everyone turned their heads to look over here, if people found out that he, as the emperor, was actually listening to the corner, wouldn't it become a joke in the world? Liu Heng walked out brightly.
"The concubines see the emperor."
"Ministers, see the emperor."
"Courtiers see the emperor."
Suddenly, the pavilion knelt together, and Liu Heng hurriedly asked them to get up, and asked what they were doing.
Yifang was surprised: "Didn't the concubine send someone to invite the emperor?" But Mrs. Shen said that the emperor was busy with affairs and had no time to come, so the concubine presided over the flower viewing party alone. ”
Liu Heng glanced deeply at Wu Ping beside him, as if he was complaining that he was not doing a good job, and the news that the queen had sent someone to invite him did not reach his ears.
"What cherry blossom viewing party?"
"Back to the emperor, this flower viewing party was specially instructed by the queen mother to do it for her concubines, saying that there were such rules in previous years, in the prosperous and blooming season in the imperial garden, pick a good day, and gather all the concubines and ministers and family members in the court, women, and princesses together, chatting and appreciating the flowers, which can also enhance the friendship between the monarch and the ministers." Yifang turned his eyes to Gu Wenzhou and Deng Tong, and deliberately explained, "The concubine thought that although Lord Deng was not an official in the court, he was valued by the emperor, so she took it upon herself to invite him over. And Princess Lu Yuan said that she was sick, and the Marquis of Heisei had to come here alone in order to thank the emperor for his holy grace. ”
Liu Heng paused on the spot for a moment before finally spit out a sentence: "You have a heart." ”
"However, the concubine also invited Mrs. Shen, but she neither showed up, nor did she send anyone to inform the situation, I wonder if something happened?"
Liu Heng thought that he didn't seem to see Mrs. Shen today, and he had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Since you're worried about her, send someone to Huanning Hall to take a look!" After Liu Heng finished speaking, he turned to the ministers, "Today, I will accompany you and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this imperial garden." ”
"Your Majesty."
Liu Heng's arrival made the pavilion, which was originally full of laughter, a lot quieter, and the frolicking concubines and concubines didn't dare to be active anymore, so they only stood quietly and talked.
Liu Heng walked over and took Yifang's hand, this sudden temperature made her uncomfortable for a moment, and she was about to withdraw her hand reflexively, but Liu Heng secretly held it tighter.
"These days, has Chun Yuyi taken good care of you?" Liu Heng asked very carefully, he was worried that there would be those people staring at him in the vicinity.
"Doctor Chun Yu is very concerned about the fetus of his concubine, it must be no problem, the emperor does not have to worry."
"I'm not worried about the child, I'm worried about you." Although Liu Heng's voice was small, there was an unquestionable greeting in his tone.
"Concubine...... The concubine is fine. Yi Fang didn't know if he just asked casually, or if he was worried about whether the poison on her body was completely lifted, so he could only answer ambiguously.
"If you're in good health, it's important to let me know in time." Liu Heng pinched Yifang's hand, making her heart tighten for a while with the strength of her hand.
"What the hell is the emperor...... That's it. Yifang originally wanted to ask him why he was hot and cold, seemingly indifferent and always caring, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem appropriate to ask this on such an occasion, and the words stopped when they came to their mouths.
