Chapter 40: Dark Arrows
Lin Xizhi saw that Luo Xinfang's face was pale, and hurriedly added: "I know that Sister Fang is not that kind of person. It's just that my sister was ...... at the time."
Luo Xinfang said lightly: "If I am the person who favors me today, will Sister Zhi'er be annoyed with me about this?" ”
Lin Xizhi was surprised: "How can my sister be? ”
Luo Xinfang smiled: "That's it." Since you won't annoy me because of this, how could I have a disagreement with Sister Zhi'er for such a thing? Besides, why you and I entered the palace, we both know each other. This matter should not be brought up again. ”
Lin Xizhi was silent for a long time.
Yes, whether it is her Lin Xizhi or Luo Xinfang, they both stepped into the deep palace for the benefit of the family, and they had no choice.
Lin Xizhi turned her head sideways and smiled at Luo Xinfang, "It's my sister who thinks shallowly." ”
Luo Xinfang saw that Lin Xizhi had fully understood, so she opened her mouth and laughed: "It's good that Sister Zhi'er can understand." It's still early, so I'll go sit with Sister Zhi'er for a while. I don't know if Zhaoyi Niangniang's Lintoe Palace has a place for concubines? ”
When Lin Xizhi heard this, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Luo Xinfang's arm and said: "Duan Gui Concubine is willing to come with a big face, this palace is to drive out all the people in Chengguang Palace, and it has to make room for the big Buddha of Duan Gui Concubine." ”
Luo Xinfang sneered, gently pinched Lin Xizhi's little nose and said, "It's not serious." ”
"Hehe, my unserious appearance can only be seen by Sister Fang." Lin Xizhi glanced around quickly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I still have some things to say to Sister Fang, let's go back to Chengguang Hall first." ”
Luo Xinfang saw that Lin Xizhi's expression was serious, and she didn't have any intention of playing, so she hurriedly followed Lin Xizhi and a group of palace attendants to the Chengguang Hall where Lin Xizhi lived.
After taking a seat, Lin Xizhi wanted to instruct Xianglan to serve tea, but Luo Xinfang refused.
"You don't have to make tea, it's too much trouble. You are suffering from the cold, and I was planning to sit down for a while and then take my leave, so that you can recuperate in peace. ”
Lin Xizhi nodded, not reluctantly, "Okay, let's make a long story short, what I'm going to talk to Sister Fang about today is related to Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi." ”
"Concubine Han? Rou Shuyi? At the mention of these two names, Luo Xinfang immediately thought of the strange behavior of Han Guifei and Wei Qingshuang in front of Fengyi Palace yesterday, "I expected that the relationship between the two of them would definitely not be simple. ”
Lin Xizhi frowned, and said with a shocked expression: "Thanks to Sister Fang's cleverness, I woke up my sister yesterday, and the more my sister returned to this Lintoe Palace yesterday, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she ordered my palace people to check the movements of Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi." ”
Luo Xinfang also tensed her nerves when she heard this, and asked, "How?" But what did you find?"
Lin Xizhi's slender jade fingers pinched the edge of the table tightly, and she muttered: "According to the information I have received now, Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi seem to be plotting something, but during the conspiracy between the two of them, there were some differences. ”
"Han Guifei seems to have made some request to Rou Shuyi, but Rou Shuyi did not agree, and now the two of them are in a stalemate."
Hearing these words, Luo Xinfang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Since it is a conspiracy, it must not be a glorious thing to think that what Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi are planning must not be exposed to others.
Han Guifei is in a high position and has given birth to an emperor, so she will have some plans, and Luo Xinfang is not surprised by this.
However, there are many outstanding new palace concubines, why did Han Guifei choose the arrogant and domineering Wei Qingshuang as her ally?
What is unique about Wei Qingshuang?
As soon as his mind moved, Luo Xinfang was suddenly shocked.
Yes, military power.
Han Guifei didn't take a fancy to Wei Qingshuang, she took a fancy to the Wei family behind Wei Qingshuang.
Wei Qingshuang may be inferior to others in terms of strategy and scheming, but the Wei family has military power that none of the big families have.
But what does Han Guifei want to do with military power?
And what puzzled Luo Xinfang the most was that Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi finally collapsed, resulting in a situation that was extremely embarrassing.
Before these two conspired, they didn't even reach a consensus? It's weird!
Luo Xinfang's face sank like water, and his mind was racing fast, carefully thinking about every possibility.
Suddenly, a terrible thought appeared in Luo Xinfang's mind, and Luo Xinfang's face instantly became extremely ugly.
Lin Xizhi saw Luo Xinfang's face change suddenly, and she was also frightened.
"Sister Fang, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Xinfang pressed her eyebrows, forced herself to calm down, and said, "Sister Zhi'er, you first send out all the subordinates who are serving in this Chengguang Palace." ”
Lin Xizhi waved her hand, and the palace people standing on the side immediately retreated willingly.
Luo Xinfang glanced at Xianglan who was standing behind Lin Xizhi, and said lightly: "Xianglan is also going out." ”
Xianglan was stunned, and Lin Xizhi was also shocked by Luo Xinfang's words.
What is the reason why Luo Xinfang is so cautious?
"Xianglan, you also go down and keep an eye on those people outside." Lin Xizhi commanded with her head sideways.
"Yes, Pandan obeys." After receiving the order, Xianglan closed the door of the Chengguang Hall and guarded it outside, not allowing outsiders to have any chance to approach.
At this time, there were only the two of them left in the hall, and Lin Xizhi asked a little anxiously, "Sister Fang, what's going on?" ”
Luo Xinfang looked straight into Lin Xizhi's eyes and asked, "Sister Zhi'er, have you ever thought about why Concubine Han and Wei Qingshuang conspired, but the two of them had their own thoughts and broke up unhappily?" ”
Lin Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "It should be that the two of them have a conflict of interests, right?" ”
Luo Xinfang shook his head and asked again.
"Sister Zhi'er, if you want to borrow my ability to help you succeed, will you first ask me to test my bottom line, or will you directly tell me what you are planning, and then negotiate terms with me?"
Lin Xizhi didn't want to think about it and said: "Then naturally we have to talk about the conditions first!" ”
Luo Xinfangyu tapped lightly on the table and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this truth is obviously so simple, but Han Guifei wants to do the opposite. If the two of them had already negotiated the terms before conspiring, they might have already begun to plan now, how could they end up in a stalemate. ”
Lin Xizhi was also confused, and said inexplicably: "Then Concubine Han wants to find Rou Shuyi to help her succeed, why don't you discuss with Rou Shuyi in advance?" ”
Luo Xinfang said in a deep voice: "So I suspect that Rou Shuyi may have some handle in Han Guifei's hand, and Han Guifei threatened Rou Shuyi to help her." ”
Lin Xizhi was shocked by Luo Xinfang's speculation and was speechless.
Luo Xinfang clenched her plain hands into fists, closed her eyes, and continued: "The most terrifying thing is that Rou Shuyi refused. What did Concubine Han Guifei plan to make Rou Shuyi reject her when she had a handle in her hands? ”
If you think about it, there is something even more terrifying.
Han Guifei told Wei Qingshuang what she had planned, but she was not afraid that Wei Qingshuang would take the opportunity to denounce her.
Wei Qingshuang or the Wei family, what kind of handle was pinched in Han Guifei's hands?
There seemed to be a thunderbolt exploding in Lin Xizhi's brain.
What Luo Xinfang said, she didn't dare to think about it carefully.
Lin Xizhi stabilized her mind, and reluctantly smiled: "Sister Fang is thoughtful and resourceful, and it would be condescending not to be a criminal officer." It's a pity that Sister Fang is not a man. ”
Luo Xinfang said lightly: "Sister Zhi'er praised it falsely, I am so clever, if I really get it in front of those adults in the Criminal Department, it will undoubtedly be an axe for the class." But all conspiracies can't stand scrutiny, and after careful consideration, you can always find flaws in them. ”
Lin Xizhi retorted: "My sister really thinks so. Since the last time my sister discovered about Yu Pei, Sister Fang's intelligence is by no means comparable to that of ordinary women.
Luo Xinfang pinched Lin Xizhi's little nose, and pretended to be ruthless: "Is this the time to talk about these things?" There are many suspicions about the conspiracy between Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi, and the information in our hands is insufficient, so we have to ask Zhi'er's sister to continue to investigate. I always feel that this matter is not as simple as the ordinary palace concubines are jealous. ”
Lin Xizhi said: "Don't worry, wrap it up on my sister." Sister Fang can make good decisions, and you will still have to work hard Sister Fang at that time. ”
"Everything is about planning ahead. If you are defenseless, and wait for others to make a move, you and I will become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered. Luo Xinfang relaxed her tense nerves a little, thinking of the case of Yu Pei that Lin Xizhi said, she pondered for a moment and asked, "Sister Xiaoman, what's going on now?" ”
Hearing Luo Xinfang mention Shen Man, a sad look suddenly appeared on Lin Xizhi's face.
"Xiao Man was promised by the Shen family to the son of a wealthy businessman. I'm going to get married in a few years. ”
Luo Xinfang was stunned for a moment.
She never understood why Shen Lin was able to be ruthless and use such vicious means to harm her sister-in-law.
Now she finally understood.
Luo Xinfang muttered: "Have you ever heard of what kind of person the other party is?" ”
The corners of Lin Xizhi's mouth pulled out a mocking smile.
"What kind of person could he be. Since ancient times, businessmen have valued profits over separation, even if they are a talent, what can they do, after all, it is not a good match for Xiaoman. ”
Luo Xinfang was silent.
How many people can be changed in this deep palace inner garden?
In the face of glory and wealth, the family relationship that blood is thicker than water is so fragile and vulnerable.
Many years later, when she is deep in the quagmire, can she continue to maintain this tranquil state of mind?
Luo Xinfang remembered the few little attendants she got rid of with the hand of her father-in-law.
She lowered her head and looked at her slender hands. The jade fingers are slender and finely sliced like green onions, and they look clean and clean, without a trace of dirt.
Whether she volunteered or forced it, her hands would eventually be stained with blood.
For a while, Luo Xinfang was in a state of confusion, and she was absent-minded in the next conversation, and after dealing with two sentences indiscriminately, she said goodbye to Lin Xizhi and returned to Juhe Palace.
Yinping saw that his mother seemed to be a little in good spirits, so he brewed a pot of hot tea for Luo Xinfang.
Luo Xinfang smelled the familiar aroma of tea, and his heart settled down a little.
There are many kinds of tribute tea, but Luo Xinfang loves Biluochun alone.
Now is a good season for the grass to grow and the warbler flies, this Biluo spring is produced in early spring, and the tea leaves are all from Xingong, with the unique fragrance of new tea.
The tea soup is sweet and fresh, which is her favorite taste.
Luo Xinfang put down the teacup and smiled at Yinping: "You still know the palace best." ”
Yinping stood with his head down and replied respectfully: "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to share the worries of the mother." ”
Seeing that the silver screen was still the same old picture, Luo Xinfang teased: "Don't you wonder what the palace said to Lin Zhaoyi in the Chengguang Palace?" ”
Yinping blessed Luo Xinfang and said respectfully: "Niangniang has her own decision in her heart, and the slave doesn't dare to ask." If the mother has instructions, the slave and maid should do their best to share the worries of the mother. ”
Although Luo Xinfang has always recognized the calm and old age of the silver screen, he only nodded in the end and did not say much.
The conspiracy between Han Guifei and Rou Shuyi is still confusing and mysterious. Before the matter is fully investigated, she must not act rashly, so as not to startle the snake.
It was imperative to find a completely secret way to contact my father.
