Chapter 66: Meeting in the middle of the night

Otherwise, how could he abandon the emperor when he was in danger, and go out of his way to rescue a princess who was almost certain to die, and even possibly take his own life, after all, no matter how noble the princess is, it is not as noble as His Majesty the Emperor.

I have to say, what a beautiful misunderstanding.

Although Princess Changle's thoughts were a little outrageous, but when she thought about it like this, she was a little happy in her heart, but in an instant, she slapped her palm back to the bottom of her heart.

Hmph, even if he likes her, she doesn't look down on him!

Moreover, she must take revenge! She was a princess, how could he do that to her!

In fact, that day, she didn't see Xue Qi's appearance clearly, if he didn't admit it himself, it is estimated that now, she is still looking for a life-saving benefactor in the palace.

I want to think so, but I still have some joy in my heart, how can I break it?

Hua Qian was surprised to find that Princess Changle, who has always been fierce, blushed?!

It seems that after falling off the Moon Picking Palace that day, something happened that she didn't know.

There is a case!

@@@

On the seventh day of the second month, the cloud shelter pavilion ten miles outside Beijing.

Xue Jinian and Yin Zishang sat opposite each other, with a game of black and white chess in the middle, with clear chess paths and a calm game.

"The Governor is really a good means." Yin Zishang pinched the white piece in his hand, stared at the space in front of him, and lightly dropped the chess pieces.

"Second son...... Oh, no, it's the King of the South. Xue Jinian squinted and smiled: "Lord Nan praised it falsely, but Xue didn't dare to be it." If it weren't for the prince's great help this time, how could the case be closed like this. Xue is the prince of thanks. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and arched it.

More than 500,000 taels of gold, without blinking an eye, he said he would donate it. To say generosity, it is also really generous.

It's just that the real owner of this money is pregnant with the prince, and I am afraid that it is heartache and needs to be rescued immediately by the doctor. I don't know what the chaos of King Huai's Mansion is like now, and whether Lord Huai has been rescued.

Yin Zishang didn't see it, and he helped him with nothing: "The governor is going to torture this king." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them hated each other.

That day, the East Factory got together, and Xue Jinian asked him to think about it.

He was very glad that Xue Jinian gave him a chance to think about it; Fortunately, the result of my consideration was to cooperate with him.

Yin Zishang could see it very clearly, no matter whether King Huai's ambition could succeed or not, his profits were quite limited.

That batch of gold was the capital that he knew that King Huai was preparing to rebel, and there were several places like this that King Huai did not know, and this was the only place he took care of.

He exchanged this pile of gold for a throne for himself, and he did not lose.

It's just that he also understands that whether he can sit firmly on this throne or not depends on himself, and first of all, the family in King Huai's mansion can't hold him back.

His own Lao Tzu himself understands that Wang Ye Huai will not give up that dream because of his withdrawal. And he can't break the throne he won so hard because of his old man's dream.

When the Taishi rebelled, according to legend, there was also a treasure house, but until the people of the Taishi family died so that the bones could beat the drum, Emperor Xuantong still did not find this treasure place.

Therefore, this donation is the right time, which can temporarily block the idea of Huai Wangye, and can properly determine Liu An's guilt.

"This king only wishes that in this life, he will not be an enemy of the governor."

"The same is true of Xue."

Xue Qi entered the pavilion: "Lord Qi, the overseer, everything has been arranged." ”

Xue Jinian got up, held the wine glass in his hand and said: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Xue Mou said goodbye here, I wish the prince a safe journey, I hope that the next time we meet, it will be a happy situation." ”

Yin Zishang followed and got up: "I have to help the governor, Yin is fortunate in his three lives, and when the affairs of the house are over, he will drink wine with the governor and get drunk." ”

The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

"Take care."

"Take care!"

Master of Ceremonies

Li Fu, the eunuch with palm prints, sat cross-legged on the golden silk nanmu couch, squinting a pair of orange peel eyes and shaking his head and not knowing what he was muttering.

He raised his hand, and the two little eunuchs behind him stepped back silently.

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Xue Jinian closed the fold, stood up, dusted off the hem of his clothes, and walked out.

"What? This is leaving? ”

"Uncle Li thinks about it today because he doesn't want to pay attention to these mundane affairs, how dare Ji Nian continue to bother here."

Li Fu snorted, and his face sank a little.

"Sit down!"

Xue Jinian sat back down as he said.

"What? sat on the post of the commander of the East Factory, and he made a face to the miscellaneous family? ”

"Ji Nian doesn't dare."

Li Fu, as the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, sits firmly in the inner court, and in his previous life, he did not have much intersection with Xue Jinian. Xue Jinian was focused on the mother and son in Huanyi Palace at that time, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Fu.

It's just that before he died, Li Fu, who was already seventy years old, came to visit him in prison, saying that it was not right to visit, he always remembered what Li Fu said to him: Fellowship with the Liu family, undoubtedly with the tiger, ruthless but they are destined to die without a place to be buried. You have served her for many years, and you must have touched a lot of the delicate skin and tender flesh of her body, but you have not yet seen how filthy the things under the skin are. It's ridiculous that you think you're smart, but you're stupid.

At this point, Xue Jinian knew that there was a grudge between Li Fu and the imperial concubine. Over the years, he has hidden so deeply that he has not found the slightest flaw.

When he was proud, Li Fu had a lot of friction with him, at that time, he only thought that the other party was jealous of his step-by-step ascension, and now he understands that it was Li Fu's advice to him.

It's ridiculous that he didn't wake up until his deathbed.

If Hua Qian is the last person to bury him, then Li Fu is the last person to see him off, and seeing him off is purely literal. After being imprisoned, there were many people who came to visit him, including political enemies who fell into the well, as well as colleagues who gloated, no matter how humiliated they were, there were no ups and downs in his heart, since ancient times, the winner was the king and the loser, and he had nothing to say.

Only a few words of Li Fu's scolding made him ashamed.

Li Fu scolded correctly, he was indeed blind and blind, otherwise how could he help that pair of wolf ambitious mother and son to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

After being reborn, he deliberately became close to Li Fu, little by little, imperceptibly, and now, there are some relatives, and Li Fu almost regards him as a descendant of his future pension and death, and the relationship is very different from his previous life.

Li Fu snorted again: "The Liu family is a high-ranking family, and now that you have broken the Liu'an line, have you thought about how to deal with that woman?" ”

"Uncle Li laughed, Liu An conspired to rebel, I just took advantage of the situation, and I didn't intend to target it. As for the person you are talking about, she is the master and I am the servant, how can you use the word 'deal with'?" ”

"You don't give the miscellaneous family a lot of trouble, you just say, don't you?"

Xue Jinian didn't make a sound, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the row of pen stands in front of him, Zhu Bi Imperial Approval, what a beautiful scenery it seems, but it can't match a word from the heavenly family.

"Don't forget what the miscellaneous family told you, her fourth child is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, you weigh your own weight."

The fourth child in Li Fu's mouth is the fourth son of His Majesty today, the fourth prince Yin Jianhang.

Xue Jinian's eyes shrank, no one knows better than him what kind of person the four princes are, in his previous life, he worked hard to support him, cut through obstacles for him, and swept away all opposition forces for him, and he did not hesitate to bear an infamy for this.

The picture is nothing more than the stability of the second half of his life.

Eunuchs who have no heirs are mostly miserable in the second half of their lives. At that time, what Xue Jinian wanted was nothing more than to get a dragon merit, and then recognize a filial son, and the glory and wealth of the scenery and scenery for a lifetime.

But who knows, in the past, Corporal Lixian's informalized master, in the blink of an eye, it was like a different person.

When Yin Jianhang ascended to the throne, it was actually the time when he Xue Jinian died.

The crime is quite ridiculous: traitorous eunuchs and cruel to the country and loyal and good!

If there is no cruelty to him, if those "loyal and good" are still alive, how can the throne easily get him Yin Jianhang?

Thinking of this, the ruthlessness in Xue Jinian's eyes suddenly rolled again: "He has no chance!" ”

He remembered that at the celebration banquet two days ago, because the imperial concubine was not present, the four princes chose a position far away from His Majesty Xuantong. On weekdays, as long as the imperial concubine gently touches from the side, the four princes have always been the focus of the field, and now, although everyone still respects him, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this respect is not as good as before.

The mother family of the four princes was already weak, but fortunately, he was raised under the knees of the imperial concubine, so he had the capital to compete with other princes. But now, because of Xue Jinian's "iron-faced selflessness", he seems to have returned to the unpopular prince in the past. I read books

It is believed that it is difficult for anyone who has fallen from a high position to accept this sudden change, especially if the person who is in charge is still the same person, which is almost equivalent to betrayal, which will make people angry and lose their minds.

But the fourth prince didn't, he was the same as before, his face almost didn't change, and when everyone toasted Xue Jinian, he also raised a glass to him from afar.

He didn't have any harsh words, and even sent someone to Dongchang afterwards, and sincerely thanked him for finding out the traitor who plotted rebellion, and served the country and the people.

If he hadn't experienced the tragic scene in his previous life, Xue Jinian might really think that the other party was open-minded and broad-minded.

Li Fu squinted his eyes and snorted again: "It's best to be like this, it seems to be humble and polite, but in fact it is extremely vicious, there are few good people in the royal family." ”

Xue Jinian stretched out his hand and dialed the fold on the desk to the side, picked up the Qingzhan that had been placed aside for a long time, and took a sip before he said indifferently: "What Uncle Li preached!" Remember! ”

Both fell silent.

After a while, Xue Jinian got up: "The votes submitted by the cabinet have been classified and approved, please Uncle Li decide slowly." There are still important tasks in the east factory, and the chronicle will retire first. ”

Li Fu lifted his eyelids: "Take care of the gang of people in your hands, Di Rong's envoy will enter Beijing soon, don't make any trouble." ”

"Thank you Uncle Li for reminding me."

Out of the celebrant supervisor, Xue Jinian put the mink fur cloak on his shoulders and slowly walked out of the inner court.

Xue Qi leaned against the pillar with a knife, listened to the movement, and quietly followed behind Xue Jinian.

"Go and check the number of visitors from the Dijon mission, and do a good job of receiving them as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

After walking for a while, Xue Jinian paused, Xue Qi also stopped, and then went to the West Sixth Palace.

"Overseer......" Xue Qi wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Xue Jinian waved his hand, and his eyes fell on the West Sixth Palace, where the lights were starry, revealing silence.

He knew what Xue Qi wanted to say, and now that the imperial concubine was quite dissatisfied with him, there must be many pairs of eyes staring at him in this palace, and if he made a slight mistake, he would repeat the mistakes of the past.

But tonight, just now, he suddenly couldn't wait to see Hua Qian.

"You go back."

Xue Qi whispered: "The subordinates retired." ”

The master's decision is not something that one of his subordinates can shake, what he can do is to protect the master and prevent all accidents from happening.

@@@

Hua Qianwo is reading at night on the bed, reading the story of Lang Qing and concubines meeting in the backyard, this is a few days ago, Jinxin asked Xiaowu to bring her a book from outside the palace.

The flowers are shallow to see with relish.

The door creaked open, and someone walked in.

Hua Qianqian didn't raise his head and said, "Jinxin, you still haven't slept yet?" ”

Jinxin didn't speak.

Hua Qian was a little strange, she tilted her head and looked, the candle flame was bright, and a clear figure was projected on the screen, looking at the figure, not Jinxin.

"Who?"

He asked as he got out of bed and bypassed the screen.

Xue Jinian stood by the door, the door opened behind him, and the cold wind blew the long on his shoulder slightly.

"Xianggong?" Hua Qian hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Xue Jinian: "Why are you here?" ”

The moment he was touched by Hua Qian, Xue Jinian's arm shrank slightly, but he didn't take it back.

Although it was her own dormitory, Hua Qian was still very nervous, seeing that Xue Jinian was silent, she quickly closed the door, grabbed him with one hand, and walked directly to the inner room behind the screen of the dormitory.

Xue Jinian was pulled by Hua Qian, his eyes followed Hua Qian's hand to her, and silently followed her into the inner room, and she pressed him on the brocade stool.

"A few days ago, I was worried about you, I wanted to go to see you, but I was afraid that it would interfere with your work."

Xue Jinian said: "I'm fine. ”

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, I know you'll be fine, but I'm still worried. I can't eat or sleep every day, but fortunately, God bless and merciful, and the wicked will eventually get evil retribution. ”

Hua Qian, who was completely unaware of the inside story, naturally didn't notice that Xue Jinian stiffened slightly after hearing the sentence "The wicked will eventually get evil retribution", and he played the role of an infatuated lover.

"You don't know how happy I am, I've thought about it, if you don't come to see me again, even if you violate the palace rules, I will go to Dongchang to find you." She said with a smile, looking at him with a light in her eyes, but soon, the smile disappeared again, and she said distressedly: "I saw you that day in the Imperial Tower." How did you lose so much weight, it's been hard these days. ”

It's not like you, who also saw me, and pretended not to see me.

Xue Jinian tilted his head, a little surprised by Hua Qian's sudden increase in her concern, although she showed a lot of concern for him in the past, but she always felt inferior to today.

"I'm fine." He said, "What are you going to do in Dongchang to find me?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Qianjiao glanced at him with disgust, half complaining and half shy: "What else can I do, naturally I want to see if you are okay." As he spoke, he scooped a cup from the table, poured water and handed it over. But without waiting for Xue Jinian to stretch out his hand, he quickly took it back, and in Xue Jinian's surprised gaze, he touched his lips and said to himself: "It's cold." ”

"Xianggong, wait a minute, I'll ask Jinxin to boil some hot water." As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the door, not realizing what he was doing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Xue Jinian was surprised at first, and then surprised, although he couldn't see the appearance on his face, he subconsciously didn't want to see the third person at this moment, he reached out and grabbed Hua Qian's wrist, and said, "No." ”

Hua glanced at him, and his face was full of disapproval: "How can it be done, you often cough, your lungs must be bad, and you can't drink this herbal tea." As he spoke, he couldn't help but put Xue Jinian's hand away, walked out of the inner room and opened the door, and called in a low voice: "Jinxin, Jinxin." ”

Thanks to Jinxin's good ear, although he has been lying on the bed for a long time, as soon as he heard the movement, he immediately jumped out of bed, and he didn't even put on his clothes, and hurriedly appeared at the door of Hua Qian: "Princess, the slave is here, what's wrong?" ”

"Boil some hot water."

Jinxin squinted her eyes and yawned, still a little confused: "Well, princess, it's so late, you want to bathe." ”

Hanasa: "......"

She stretched out her hand and twisted a handful of brocade hearts, signaling her not to talk nonsense: "What nonsense, go quickly." As she spoke, she turned sideways slightly, and then Jinxin saw the man sitting at the table, looking at her with cold eyes at the moment.

Jinxin was like being poured a basin of ice slag on his head, and he woke up on the spot.

"The slave and the maid obey, and the slave and the maid will go immediately." After saying that, the two strands turned around and left, walked in a hurry, and hit the pillar. She covered her forehead, didn't wait for Hua Qian to say anything, and disappeared at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, ......"

Hua smiled as Jin Xin hurriedly left, shook his head, and walked back to the inner room.

This time there was no hurry, she sat back next to Xue Jinian, Xue Jinian still didn't speak, but her eyes kept moving slightly with Hua Qian's movements.

Hua Qian didn't know what he was going to do, and she didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but she thought that a man who was physically and mentally disabled ran to a girl's room in the middle of the night, and what he was thinking about would definitely not be Fenghua Xueyue.

It stands to reason that he has just solved a big case, and it is when the spring breeze is proud, there must be endless banquets and endless guests, how can he suddenly remember her here?

He never spoke, just looked at her gaze, sometimes complicated and sometimes confused.

Hua Qian felt that it was a little embarrassing for the two to be silent all the time, and she had to do something to break it.

So, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, took Xue Jinian's hand and pushed it forward, and said with a smile: "Xianggong still came to Feique Palace so late, do you miss me?" ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

As soon as the words came out, Xue Jinian's expression really changed, but he didn't dislike it as usual, he just glanced at her with some disdain, and withdrew his hand: "Girl's family, always put this kind of words on your lips, what kind of system!" ”

"What's wrong with those words? I miss you too. Hua Qian replied with a puzzled face, what she said was absolutely true, these days, she really misses him.

But that's not what I wanted.

Xue Jinian: "......"

Seeing that Xue Jinian didn't speak again, Hua Qian didn't say anything. She rested her chin on the table and looked at Xue Jinian with a smile.

Anyway, she can't sleep now, she doesn't believe it, this man came to her in the middle of the night, just to use it as a decoration to nourish her eyes.

He must have something, and if he doesn't say it, he must have some scruples.

If you have scruples, it must be something that you can't talk about.

It's hard to talk about her in the face of her, but it is conceivable that this matter must have a great impact on her.

And in this palace, there is nothing else that can affect her a lot, except for letting her stab Queen Wen.
