Chapter 88: The Wind Fills the Building
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the windows and doors are closed, the sunlight is blocked out, and there is an impermeable suffocation.
The colors in the hall are bright and luxurious, the huge sandalwood screen is carved with the pattern of the dragon soaring, the bright yellow curtain hangs down, and the silky folds are like the ripples piled up by the wind across the lake, clear and distinct.
The Yangxin Palace is the daily office of Emperor Xuantong, receiving ministers or reviewing and reading, but few harem women stay.
Today it is different.
Emperor Xuantong was still sitting behind the dragon's head case, and the hollow golden beast bronze incense burner that he had used to smash the back of the minister's head on the case was still bubbling with white mist, and the camphor-like domineering smell was still clutching the cranial nerves of the people present.
Empress Wen sat at the bottom of him, holding a teacup and flicking the water foam one by one, her little finger wearing armor slightly cocked, and her posture was elegant.
Liu Ruyue sat at the bottom of Queen Wen, and now Liu Ruyue's position has plummeted, if she hadn't supported the home field today, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a place to sit.
Liu Ruyue has been favored since she entered the palace, and when Emperor Xuantong was present, she and Empress Wen were always equal, sitting opposite each other. Many times, she still sits close to His Majesty.
This kind of grievance that can only look at His Majesty from a distance but can no longer approach wantonly, in the past, she never thought about it, but now, it has become the norm of her life.
She didn't want to accept her fate, and she had struggled desperately, intending to evoke His Majesty's past affection again.
But no! No matter what she did, she couldn't get the mercy of this man again.
Liu Ruyue suddenly understood that in her life, she was afraid that she would never be able to turn over again.
Her children have all been lost, her grace has been lost, and even her mother's family has ignored her life and death. She stayed uncomfortable in Huanyi Palace, thinking that it would be good for someone from her mother's family to come to talk to her, but no, even her mother refused the news she finally delivered, only saying that her father was not in good health, so let her stay in the palace by herself.
Stay good? Oh, how else can she stay well!
Although she has accepted her fate, as long as she thinks that Empress Wen is still the master of her middle palace, Liu Ruyue is jealous, but it doesn't matter, even if she is noble, what if she is noble? She didn't even have a daughter of her own!
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyue's heart was a little more balanced. So he sent someone to summon Xue Jinian to meet him, thinking about whether to make a trick to make Queen Wen feel bad.
Although she can't get out, at least Dongchang is still in her hands! She wants to show her mother's gang that she Liu Ruyue is not a useless waste!
Now she is no more than before, and even the summons must be issued in a subtle manner, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears. But who knows, the summons were issued one after another, but they never waited for Xue Jinian's reply.
She thought that Dongchang was busy, and Xue Jinian couldn't pull away, who knew that she was waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for Queen Wen.
On that day, she passed the entrance at night and came to Huanyi Palace without any attendants.
She said, Xue Jinian won't come, don't count on it!
Liu Ruyue didn't expect that she had been fighting with Wen Wan for half her life, but who knew that in the end, it was she who came to tell her the fact that Xue Jinian had already betrayed her!
After all, she still saw the joke!
She carefully combed through all the things that happened, and still couldn't believe that Xue Jinian would do such a thing. Without her, how could Xue Jinian sit firmly in his current position?
Even if the facts were in front of her, Liu Ruyue couldn't believe it.
She sneered: "Sister is here to see that my sister is now down, to see the jokes, right?" ”
Empress Wen stood in front of her and tilted her chin slightly: "If you want to see jokes, this palace has already seen enough." I came here today, just to tell my sister something, whether my sister believes it or not, this palace will not step into Huanyi Palace again. ”
Liu Ruyue was suffocated in her heart, but she still said stiffly: "If Xue Jinian doesn't have my help, how can he sit firmly in Dongchang." He ......"
Empress Wen interrupted her disdainfully: "And Your Majesty." ”
Liu Ruyue: "......"
"Sister, don't forget, with the ability of the East Factory, how can it still be found out that the real murderer of the Four Princes and Anping has not been found to this day? On the same day, the case of the Moon Palace was revealed in less than five days. ”
Liu Ruyue: "......"
Empress Wen continued: "I heard that Dongchang was a secret guard, and his ability to track and trace was outstanding, how could he not protect the fourth prince after he left Beijing, and the news was not transmitted back to Shangjing until he disappeared halfway?" ”
"As for Anping, although this girl doesn't like this girl, she is also watched by this palace after all. With Bengong's understanding of her, it is impossible to hang herself by hanging herself by tying someone else's neck and strangling her. Sister, you say, right? ”
Liu Ruyue: "......" grabbed the handkerchief and her fingers turned white one by one, her silver teeth were clenched, and she was angry in her heart, how could she not take into account what Queen Wen said, so she would repeatedly call Xue Jinian, she wanted to ask clearly.
- Xue Jinian, a dog minion, dared to betray her!
Queen Wen's words made Liu Ruyue's back chill, and what was even more sad was that she couldn't refute it.
"I don't know how he persuaded his sister to agree to a fake princess into the palace, but I believe that this person is not right-minded and must have plotted against his sister."
Liu Ruyue was shocked: "You, how do you know ......" and then shut up.
Looking at Liu Ruyue's stupid appearance of not admitting herself, Queen Wen smiled coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, this palace is just here to tell you, lest you die too confused." ”
"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart."
Anyway, the face has been torn, and even the politeness on the surface is omitted. Daxia Chinese Network
"What if you know? What chips do you have to turn the tables now? Empress Wen said lightly: "Although the two of us have quarreled in the palace for so many years, we always have our own selfish intentions. But what is the origin of Xue Jinian, my sister knows best, and now my sister is bullied by dogs in Pingyang and harmed by a slave to such a situation. Bengong guessed, I'm afraid that if I go down to Huangquan, my sister won't be reconciled. ”
Liu Ruyue was stunned, although she knew that Queen Wen was sowing discord, but her words sounded right, she remembered Xue Jinian's promise to her at the beginning, saying that she would leave that slut by Queen Wen's side as an eyeliner. But for more than a year, she didn't see the slut play any role.
Liu Ruyue understands that her situation is almost desperate, so even if she knows that Queen Wen has bad intentions and is bullying her, she is helpless.
But Xue Jinian is different, Xue Jinian used to be an ant in her hand, she could be crushed to death in every minute, and now she dares to take advantage of the chaos to rise and fall into the well, she will never let him go!
This man must have hope while he lives!
Once, she was looking forward to her stable position and being angry with Queen Wen; Now, she is looking forward to killing Xue Jinian, a dog minion, as soon as possible, so as to dispel the evil anger in her heart.
This breath made Liu Ruyue's heart burn, and her gaze staring at Xue Jinian seemed to be able to chisel a hole in him.
After Xue Jinian entered the hall, he saluted, and then stood aside silently and did not speak. For Liu Ruyue's hateful gaze, Xue Jinian turned a blind eye.
It's Shen Ye, Shen Ye came in to report on official business during Mei Youde's departure from Princess Changning, and as soon as he came in, he was immediately alert, but since His Majesty didn't let him stop, he treated it as if he hadn't found anything, and smoothly completed his official business.
The atmosphere in the palace was very weird, Shen Ye didn't want to stay longer, but who knew that Emperor Xuantong opened his mouth to let him stay. Shen Ye couldn't, so he had to stand next to Xue Jinian.
He has worked hard these days, but his hard work has been very rewarding. He finally inquired about the way to take the antidote to Bilingtian, but he never had the opportunity to get close to the Feique Palace, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace today to report on his work, but unfortunately he was stopped by His Majesty, and he didn't know what to do.
As long as Hua Qian takes the antidote, he will have no worries, and next, he will find a way to send her out of the palace. As for why he didn't send Hua Qian away as soon as he got the antidote? He has his concerns, the world is so big, it is not difficult to hide an unknown girl, the difficulty is in his own identity.
If there is no reasonable explanation, if they come together, with his identity, he is bound to take the bride into the palace to face the saint. At that time, how should he explain to His Majesty the Emperor?
There is also Xue Jinian, Xue Jinian knows that she is fake, but he has been holding his arm, what does he want to do?
Shen Ye looked at Xue Jinian silently, he still didn't know Xue Jinian's motives. Long before, Jiang Lu reported to him all the suspicious points on his trip to Beijing. He didn't doubt Jiang Lu's vision, with Xue Jinian's ability to provoke right and wrong, whether it was in the palace or outside the palace, there were many people who wanted to kill him.
In this case, why did he take the initiative to invite Ying out of Beijing to welcome Princess Changning?
Moreover, with Xue Jinian's city government and ability, why would he agree to his junior sister Hua Qian's proposal to let her take on the identity of this fake princess?
It must be known that once the incident happens, whether it is the princess herself or the person who escorted it, it is impossible to escape, why did Xue Jinian leave such a big handle for Hua Qian, who was not familiar with it at that time?
Just thinking about it, the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was suddenly pushed open, Princess Changle stood outside the door with a sunny face, and saw that everyone was looking at her, she lifted her skirt without any pressure, and ran into the hall.
"The sons and daughters knock to see the father and the queen mother."
Empress Wen held the tea bowl in her hand for a moment, then slapped it on the table, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
Princess Changle was not frightened by Queen Wen's cold words at all, she got up and squeezed Queen Wen's hand, pulled Queen Wen's sleeve and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, Mei Youde's slave bullies people, knowing that you and your father are here, but she only called the imperial sister, don't let me come, I want to come." ”
Emperor Xuantong rarely attached himself to Empress Wen, and looked at Princess Changle with a face full of disapproval: "It was I who asked him to only call your imperial sister." Changle, what your queen mother said, what are you here to make a fuss? ”
"What's the fun, you are all together, and you pulled the imperial sister over alone, do you want to tell any secrets? Why can't I listen? I don't care, I want to listen. "Princess Changle simply played tricks.
Empress Wen shouted angrily: "Changle! ”
Emperor Xuantong couldn't stand his daughter's delicateness, so he relieved himself first: "Forget it, it's okay to let her stay." ”
His Majesty the Emperor didn't mind, and Empress Wen naturally didn't have any opinions, but just glared at Changle in warning and said, "What about your imperial sister?" ”
"Outside the door, I saw my father and queen mother from a distance, and my heart was happy, so I ran in first." Changle is used to having a sweet mouth, and Queen Wen suddenly softened, and just told her: "Sit down by yourself, don't talk nonsense for a while." ”
Changle stuck out his tongue: "Oh." ”
But there was a faint uneasiness in my heart, so many people were present, what did I want to interrogate?
As he was talking, Mei Youde entered the hall: "Princess Changning has arrived." ”
Hua Qian is dressed in a violet flowing moire embroidered brocade satin skirt, with wide sleeves and green edges, and a palace silk of the same color tied around the waist, which shows that the waist is full of a hand, and the curls are moving. She lowered her head and knelt in front of Emperor Xuantong respectfully: "See my father, the emperor, and the queen mother." ”
Just now, she and Princess Changle followed Mei Youde to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and when it was almost there, Changle said that he would come first to explore the wind for her, and then it blew into the Palace of Heart Cultivation like a gust of wind.
Then she heard Mei Youde whisper: "Lord Admiral is inside, Your Majesty is in a bad mood, princess be careful." ”
Hua Qian was surprised, she had no contact with Mei Youde, and I don't know why he would mention her. However, the affection of the inheritor still made her very grateful: "Thank you father-in-law." ”
"No, let's go in quickly, Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to wait."
Hua Qian nodded and followed Mei Youde into the hall together.
After entering the hall, Emperor Xuantong was really in a bad mood as Mei Youde said.
If the emperor is not in a good mood, others are even less happy. So everyone present was unlucky with a heavy heart covered by black clouds.
"Get up." Emperor Xuantong, although his face was not good, his tone was quite gentle.
"Thank you, father, emperor, and mother."
