Chapter 50: Black Clouds Want to Overwhelm the City
When An Su heard this name next to the inner hall, a man who hurriedly took off his marquis robe appeared in his mind, revealing a eunuch's costume. That day, Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang was fortunate to be relieved of the siege in Tai Hospital, and An Su's impression of this person was not bad. Liu Zhang looked like a swinger, which originally disgusted An Su, but he was relieved to think that he had helped him.
"Do you want to marry Xi'er to Zhu Xuhou?" The Queen Mother was a little suspicious. She knew that Lu Lu was a very precious daughter, so she would naturally choose the best husband for her. Although Liu Zhang is a passable person, he is an unruly and authentic descendant of the Li family, who has always opposed the Lu family's control of the government, and wants to keep the country tightly in the hands of the Liu family.
"That's right." Lu Lu nodded in confirmation, "Auntie, my nephew has already mentioned this matter to Xi'er, and she doesn't have any dissatisfaction with this marriage." ”
"You see what Zhu Xuhou is doing, why do you have to marry Xi'er to him?" The Queen Mother squinted at him, "Xi'er is a descendant of our Lu family, Zhu Xuhou is unruly, do you think he will treat Xi'er well?" ”
"Because of this, my nephew must marry Xi'er to Zhu Xuhou."
"Oh? Tell me about it? The Queen Mother looked at the deep meaning in Lu Lu's eyes, and knew that he had other plans, not just to marry a good family for his daughter.
"Marquis Zhu Xuhou has always been dissatisfied with our Lu clan holding power, and I heard that he secretly kept in touch with the senior member surnamed Liu in the court, and wanted to help the emperor regain real power. But the enemy is in the open, we are in the dark, and I don't know what he is planning in private. Lu Lu's eyes rolled, "But if he marries Xi'er, it's different, even if he is deliberately alienated from Xi'er and hinders his aunt's marriage, he doesn't dare to do too much." Xi'er stays in Zhu Xuhou's Mansion, which is equivalent to us having one more eyeliner, if he has any abnormal movements, Xi'er can inform his nephew of his movements at any time. ”
The Queen Mother thought about it and nodded: "This is a good way, but Xi'er is stubborn, can she willingly obey your arrangement?" ”
"It's a coincidence, Xi'er had a relationship with that Liu Zhang before, and I was worried about it! The nephew showed her the portrait and squirmed in agreement. Lu Lu said confidently, "Although Xi'er has affection for Liu Zhang, she is a descendant of my Lu clan after all, and she must still be towards our Lu clan at a critical moment." ”
"It would be great if that were the case." The Queen Mother's face was a little more joyful, "Lu Lu, you think well, the mourning family will let the emperor marry Zhu Xuhou." ”
"My nephew has thanked my aunt for my nephew."
When Lu Lu walked out of the inner hall, he was beaming, but he really looked like a father who was going to marry his daughter. It's just that this practice of exchanging his daughter's lifelong happiness for an eyeliner, is it just Lu Lu, or are people born in the whirlpool of power struggles like this?
An Su sighed silently and was about to leave, but heard the voice of the Queen Mother and Songhe talking.
"Queen Mother, is Lord Lu's method really reliable?" Even Songhe sensed that something was wrong.
The Queen Mother sneered: "Do you think he really wants to marry Xi'er to make eyeliner?" ”
"What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"Lu Lu is loyal, but he has a fatal flaw, that is, he spoils his children too much." The Queen Mother sighed, "I'm afraid that Xi'er has taken a fancy to Liu Zhang in this matter, and Lu Lu is worried that the mourning family will prevent Liu Zhang from marrying him, so he made up such an eyeliner statement, so that the mourning family can relax." ”
"Then what is the Queen Mother going to do now? Didn't you already promise Lord Lu just now? ”
"Lu Lu is right, this Liu Zhang has been very active recently, if he is allowed to continue, I am afraid it will threaten the status of the mourning family in the court." The Queen Mother squinted, and the fierce light flashed, "I need to think of a way to cure him, since Lu Lu proposed to marry his daughter, then he will plan it." ”
Songhe added a sip of tea to the Queen Mother: "I think the Queen Mother has already figured out how to do it?" ”
"Xi'er is one of the best beauties in our Lu clan, it should be very useful, wouldn't it be a pity if she married Liu Zhang?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and smiled at Songhe, "Since you can't figure out what he's planning in secret, it's good that he doesn't have a chance to plan again." ”
"Is the Queen Mother thinking about ......?" Songhe gestured a few times around his neck.
"Yes, the mourning family wants to take the opportunity of marriage to get rid of Zhu Xuhou, so that Xi'er doesn't have to marry, and the threat is lifted, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Songhe bowed his head: "The Queen Mother is wise." ”
An Su listened to these outside, but he should have felt surprised but he didn't feel anything, probably because this kind of thing happened a lot, and he also knew the temperament of the queen mother. But for Zhu Xuhou and Liu Zhang, An Su must be saved. But it was not because he had helped himself, but because of what Gu Wenzhou said, he said to follow his heart.
Thinking that he met Liu Zhang outside the Tai Hospital that day, he came out of the wall from the inside, and was chased by a guard, seemingly trying to steal something in the Tai Hospital. But as Zhu Xuhou, there are any medicinal materials that he can't easily obtain, and An Su thinks to himself that what he wants to take must be something extremely important. He didn't have an object in his hand last time, and he must not have gotten it yet, since it is an important thing, he will definitely pick it up again.
Taking advantage of the free time of the errand in Changle Palace, An Su hurried to the Tai Hospital. Xiang Zili inquired, only to know that Zhu Xuhou would come to the Tai Hospital every seven days these days, and I heard that he was injured in the martial arts training ground, so he had to count the days to come over to change the medicine. An Su felt funny, this Zhu Xuhou listened to Yongwu, but his mind was not delicate enough, a dignified Hou Ye, he couldn't find a doctor outside the palace to change the dressing, so he had to go to the Tai Hospital, this reason was too far-fetched.
"Zili, do you know when Zhu Xuhou will come to the Tai Hospital?" An Su couldn't leave the palace, and Zhu Xuhou lived in the mansion outside the palace, and the only opportunity to meet him was when he came to the hospital.
Zili thought for a moment: "If it is the same as when the interval was before, it will probably be tomorrow." ”
"Great, if it's tomorrow, you don't have to worry about running out of time." Ansu breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's too late?" Zi Lihu asked, "What are you asking for?" Do you want to see Zhu Xuhou? ”
"Yes, I have something very important to tell him personally." Speaking of this, An Su's expression became serious.
Zili frowned, she looked at An Su several times, and then stopped talking for a moment before finally speaking: "An Su, although Zhu Xuhou is talented, he is also a swinger. Besides, I have also met Zhu Xuhou a few times, and in comparison, I still feel that Gu Xiangshi is superior. ”
An Su didn't react for a while: "What? ”
"Ansu, you have to think about it, if the palace maid is good with a foreign man, if she is discovered, she will be dealt with according to the palace rules." Zili reminded her in a whisper.
An Su understood what she meant, and couldn't help but glance at her: "Where do you want to go!" I don't mean that to Zhu Xuhou, there are other things. ”
"Ah, that's right." Zili seemed a little disappointed, but quickly raised his head again, "But Ansu, why do you only deny Zhu Xuhou, what about Gu Xiangshi?" ”
This question made An Su feel a little weak, she felt a heat crawling on her face, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, don't always think about this, I still have something to do in Changle Palace, go back first." ”
After separating from Zili, Ansu's footsteps were fast, lest she discover her hidden thoughts. She used to be ignorant, and she didn't know what this strange feeling was, but now she gradually understood that she seemed to be ...... I fell in love with Gu Wenzhou.
The next day, An Su hurriedly finished the work of Changle Palace, and then slipped out smoothly. These days, Mama Hu stares at her a little looser, and if she has a heart on weekdays, she can always sneak out for a spin. It's just that Ansu has never liked to wander around the palace, and it is not until today that he realizes the benefits of this freedom.
Zhu Xuhou counted the days and went to the Tai Hospital, but the date was set, but the time was uncertain. Ansu could only wait near the Tai Hospital earlier, just waiting for him to find a reason to go forward as soon as he appeared.
After waiting for about two hours, Zhu Xuhou finally appeared at the gate of the Tai Hospital as Zili said. An Su didn't notice for a while, and didn't see where he came from, so he missed the best opportunity to get close. An Su was a little anxious nearby, Zhu Xuhou had already entered the Tai Hospital, and he couldn't follow directly.
was thinking of a way impatiently, when someone patted his shoulder from behind, An Su was shocked, and paused before slowly turning around. This is in a forest next to the Tai Hospital, the trees are relatively sparse, as long as you pay attention, you will definitely find that there are people hidden in it. An Su was afraid of being discovered by the guards, so she only dared to lean against the edge of the palace wall, but she didn't expect someone to see her.
"Shh~ Don't be nervous, it's me." As soon as An Su turned around, what he saw was a silent gesture, Gu Wenzhou looked at her with a smile, "An Su, why are you hiding here?" ”
An Su looked around vigilantly before saying, "I'm waiting for someone here, and I have something very important to tell him." ”
"Is it someone from the hospital? Why wait here? Gu Wenzhou knew that An Su would not hide here for no reason.
An Su shook his head and told the truth: "No, this person will only come to the hospital today, and he won't see him at other times." ”
She was going to say that she was waiting for Zhu Xuhou, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. Somehow, I didn't want him to know that it was a man I had worked so hard to meet.
The smile on Gu Wenzhou's face paused for a moment, and after a while, he looked at the palace wall next to the Tai Hospital: "If you want to go in to see him, I can help you." ”
"It's always inconvenient to talk in the hospital, so let's wait for him to come out!" An Su thought about it, there were many people in the hospital, and what he wanted to say involved a lot, and if he accidentally let others listen to it, he might cause some trouble.
"If you don't go in, how can you see him?" Gu Wenzhou was silent for a while before he asked this sentence.
