Chapter 8: Earrings
Nanxing came back and said that Niangniang's earrings were still not found, and Chun Yunian said that he had lost them, but his face was full of unhappiness.
Zhao Huan sandwiched a piece of meat to her, "If you don't dislike it, take another one and give it to Shaofu, and let them fight another pair according to it." ”
She pouted, the emperor said so, does she dare to be persistent? He answered indistinctly and bowed his head to eat.
Later in the day, she tossed and turned in bed. Zhao Huan was asleep, but she was so troubled that she slept quite unquietly, snorted, and scooped the person into his arms, "Do you really like those earrings so much?" ”
"Hmm." She leaned against his chest and whispered, her tone sounding aggrieved.
He sighed, "I'll find someone tomorrow." ”
She hugged him gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
He smiled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Sleep." "This man is really childish.
The warm breath that belonged to him fell on her face, and she was just helpless in her heart, if Zhao Huan was just Zhao Huan, it was not easy for a husband to do this. It's just that it's not the earrings that make her toss and turn, but the entrance to the secret passage that hasn't been found yet, obviously the drawings are marked in that location, how could she not find it?
……
On the second day, Zhao Huan really did what he said, and sent more than a dozen people to find the earring, Banxia looked at the dozen or so people and said to Nanxing beside him: "You said we were going to throw the earrings into the lake?" Or throw it in the lake? ”
This is also what Nanxing didn't expect Zhao Huan to be able to do for his master, choked for a long time and said, "The emperor is a good person." ”
"Good is a good person, but not a good person. is so good to the master on the face, but in general, it is not because he is afraid of the big Sima? If you can't do this superficial effort, I think Zhao will finish playing sooner or later. ”
Banxia and Chun Yunian are the same age, and their hearts are not as mature as Nanxing, and because they have followed Chun Yunian since they were children, they are not like ordinary domestic servants, Xiao Zhan is also very good to these two, and he is also half a master in the house. Therefore, she is more and more accustomed to Banxia like a young lady's temperament, and Chun Yunian can't look down on the descendants of the Zhao family, so she naturally can't look down on it either.
Nanxing ignored what she said, she felt that Zhao Huan was not as amiable as she seemed on the surface, and the more people who did the ultimate in superficial kung fu, the deeper their minds were, and the more elusive they became. With her memory, she carefully searched for the entrance switch on the rock wall of the rockery.
This is the most remote place in the imperial garden, few people usually come, and because it is a passageway, out of the corridor is the palace garden that was abandoned during the Xi Dynasty - Yuehua Palace, the legend is that a certain emperor of the Xi Dynasty built a golden house, next to the emperor's bedroom Taihua, convenient to summon luck. It's a pity that this concubine is blessed and drove to the west at a young age, and the emperor was heartbroken and ordered to seal this place.
There is also a legend that the concubine was poisoned by the jealousy of the concubine because she was favored, and the ghost haunted here, often haunted, so that the people in the harem talked about this color change. In fact, it can be seen from the name of the palace that the emperor's bedroom is Taihua, which is called Yuehua, which obviously compares the middle palace to the Qian, and it is strange not to attract people's hatred.
The two of them searched for an afternoon yesterday, but they still didn't find the stone in the location marked on the drawing, and today they looked at it inch by inch, but they still didn't.
"Do you think this stone will run?" Banxia crossed his hands and looked at the blue-gray stone wall.
Nanxing glanced at her, "I'm afraid I'm going to become a sperm." ”
"This absorbs the glory of the sun and the moon, and it is not necessarily." She had a hard time.
Nanxing turned his eyes to look at her, "Could it be that the moonlight comes in to see it?" She looked up at the stone wall in front of her, and there was indeed a hole letting in light.
Banxia patted her on the shoulder, "Don't think too much, this secret passage is for escape, could it be that the enemy still chooses a moonlit day to chase and kill?" ”
Nanxing: "......" seems to be the reason.
Nanxing frowned and thought about it, since this will not become a refinement, how can this switch run? How can the old lady make it clear? Or did your master not make it clear?
"Stones can't run on flat ground, but what about tracks?" Banxia looked at her and smiled.
Nanxing turned his eyes to look at her, and saw her reach out and grab a stone on the upper right side of the stone wall, try to turn it, and then see her pull down, and the mud filled in along the road fell one after another, and when she felt the stone fall into the groove, she pressed down, and heard the sound of the stone door next to her turning. The two of them turned to look at the dark and dim hole not far away, and a smug smile rose on the corner of their mouths.
……
The two of them came here to avoid everyone, so if they wanted to go back, they had to go around the backyard of Yuehua Palace. I walked this road yesterday, so I am quite familiar with it. Banxia was thinking about where to throw the earrings later, but bumped into Nanxing, who was walking in front of him. She was about to make a sound, but Nanxing covered her mouth and grabbed her, motioning her to look into the pavilion in front of her.
Following Nanxing's gaze, I saw one person standing with his hands in his hands, and the other kneeling beside him, as if he was saying something.
She turned her eyes to look at Nanxing and said with her mouth: "Zhao Huan? ”
Nanxing nodded, the two of them were the same as Chun Yu Nian, they didn't care about the death of the Zhao clan or the defeat of the Chun Yu clan, this kind of indifference was even worse than Chun Yu Nian, the only thing they believed in and loyal to was Chun Yu Nian, what the master wanted, how the two of them were. Therefore, she didn't care who Zhao Huan saw here, but the person kneeling beside Zhao Huan firmly attracted her attention.
She turned her eyes to look at Banxia, and Banxia also looked at her with a frightened expression, "Knife! ”
……
Chun Yu Nian saw that the sun had already turned west when the two came back, and seeing that the two of them had bad faces, he frowned and asked, "Haven't found it yet?" ”
Zhao Huan also frowned slightly, he didn't go anywhere yesterday, why did he send so many people and still haven't found them? But what if you really lose it? Then he comforted: "It's okay, I'll look for it tomorrow." ”
Banxia pursed her lips, a little aggrieved, "I found it, but a bead was broken." As he spoke, he placed the broken earrings on the table.
Chun Yu Nian knew in his heart that the entrance to the secret passage had been found, but what did it mean that the bead was broken? But he just picked up the beads and sighed, and raised his hand to let the two of them go down, with a look of regret.
Zhao Huan only felt that she was a nostalgic person, held her hand and said, "It's all bad, don't be sad." ”
"But this was given by the eldest sister on the day of Ji Lu." She is still aggrieved, she is not lying, she is indeed sent by Chun Yuran.
Zhao Huan sighed, it was really a little girl, and she wanted to say that she would play another pair according to this mold, but she didn't mention it again because she was in a mood last night. It's useless to make up for this broken thing. After thinking about it, I don't know how to comfort it, "Then let Chun Yuran send another pair?" ”
These words were obviously teasing her, she was not smiling, nor was she not smiling, and her pity for the earrings was fake, but he wanted to make her happy but it was so true. She always felt that this person harbored evil intentions, extremely hypocritical, and perhaps so hypocritical that it was really difficult for her to resist. raised his eyes and glanced at him, and he didn't dare to look at him with a weak heart, and he was helpless for a while, Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan......
But this helplessness turned into grievance and restraint in Zhao Huan's eyes, he only felt that his heart was gently swept by a cat's tail, itchy and difficult to control.
He smiled and took the person into his arms, and coaxed him dotingly: "Okay, okay, I know that you sisters are deep, but what if it's broken?" It's not like you want it to be bad. ”
She grabbed the hem of his shirt and buried her face deep into his arms, breathing a sigh of relief. But she broke it on purpose.
Grandfather said that she could not be tempted by him, she knew. The second brother said that he is a monarch and you are a minister, and she also understands.
But after leaving her grandfather and second brother, he is destined to be her husband, what can she do? How?
……
The emperor got married, took a break for three days, and went to the court on the fourth day. Chun Yu Nian had a problem with the bed, she couldn't open her eyes when Zhao Huan got up, he didn't mind, let her sleep a little longer, but the sound of the palace people serving him dressed was still so noisy that she couldn't sleep, so she simply wrapped herself in the quilt and sat up to watch him dress.
In fact, these are all impolite, but in Zhao Huan's eyes, there is nothing, and it is even a little funny, "What are you doing sitting dumbfounded?" ”
She didn't speak, lifted the quilt and got up, took the belt from the palace man and tied it to him, and pulled his collar again, "Okay." ”
He took her hand and pecked her lightly while the palace people were not paying attention, "Go back and cover it." ”
She watched him leave, and after a while, she called out the door: "Nanxing, Banxia......"
The two men came in and brought hot water for washing.
"How?" Asked about the secret passage.
"There's no problem, it's just that so many years have passed, so it's better to let people go in and investigate first." Nanxing said softly as she brushed her hair.
"Do you know the duty hours of Wang Chen and Li Lian?" She asked.
"It's worth three days off, and the slave will find time to tell them."
She nodded and took the hot towel handed over by Banxia, "You ask the two of them to take a look at the exit when they take turns off, just in case something changes." ”
Nanxing answered, turning to look for her clothes.
Banxia took back the towel, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but speak, "What does the master think of Your Majesty?" ”
Chun Yunian frowned slightly and looked at her suspiciously. Although Banxia is lively, she is by no means a person who talks much, and she will not care about things that have nothing to do with her.
"What do you think?"
"Miss hasn't forgotten the assassination on the way to the capital that day, right?"
Her heart shook sharply, and she looked at Banxia in disbelief, "How do you know?" ”
Banxia's meaning couldn't be clearer, those assassins were sent by Zhao Huan!
Nanxing was afraid that Banxia would be excited to tell others what he said, so he grabbed her and told Chun Yunian what they saw yesterday. The knife in the hand of the man kneeling in front of Zhao Huan yesterday was exactly the same as the one used by the assassin that night. They all remembered that the assassin was bloody that night, and all the killing moves were directed towards Chun Yunian.
"Did those people die that night?" She asked Nanxing.
"There is no possibility of survival, but in case there are still people who are hidden in the shadows......"
Does Zhao Huan know everything about her?
She clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to calm down, now she can't startle the snake, this Chengqian Palace doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, and the Biyun sent by the Queen Mother is one of them.
"Biyun, huh? Come on in. She smirked at the door.
I saw Biyun come in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty instructed the slave maid last night, saying that the mother had a cough at night, so let the slave and maid boil loquat ointment." ”
Chun Yunian smiled, there was some wind blowing when he walked around the imperial garden, and he did have a little cough last night, "Your Majesty has a heart." ”
Biyun put down the medicine and told her to drink it while it was hot.
She didn't say anything, she lifted it up and drank, and it seemed to be sweeter on weekdays.
