Chapter 346: Crisis Strikes
Three (rì) later, that is, on the last day of the year, Zhou Huan, as the empress, personally went to greet the empress dowager who had been outside the palace before, and was naturally accompanied by Concubine Qin and Concubine Yu.
When Zhou Huan passed, everyone was already waiting by the carriage frame, and when they saw Zhou Huan coming, Lu Xiaoyu took the lead in saluting, "The concubine asks the queen for peace." ”
Qin Luoyu on the side just hooked his lips and smiled, and didn't say anything. She knew that Zhou Huan didn't like her, so there was no need to find anything unhappy here.
Qin Luoyu turned (shēn) and got into the carriage, but Lu Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Niangniang, it's cold in winter, do you see this cloak prepared by the concubine?" ”
"Presumably the Empress Dowager will like it, Concubine Yu has a heart."
Zhou Huan smiled, and his eyes unceremoniously left the red cloak, before Lu Xiaoyu knew what she liked, so every time she wanted to bother, she was on the idea.
It's just that the person is not that person anymore, and things don't matter.
Zhou Huan here turned his head and got into the carriage regardless of it, and Lu Xiaoyu behind (shēn) seemed to be a little anxious, "Niangniang, this is what the emperor personally ordered the concubines to prepare, don't you really want to give it a try?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Huan really stopped, and she nodded to the green plum next to (shēn), "Please come with the Jade Concubine, and the rest will remain the same." ”
The time to greet the Empress Dowager could not be delayed, Zhou Huan got into the carriage, and Lu Xiaoyu also followed with the crimson cloak, and Lumei waited with him.
Xiao Cui, the palace maid next to Qin Luoyu (shēn) not far away, told Qin Luoyu everything that happened (qíng) about what had just happened, "Niangniang, Concubine Yu is like this, isn't she regretting it?" ”
Qin Luoyu, who was studying the incense burner in the carriage, turned a deaf ear, and just when Xiao Cui felt that he was thinking too much, Qin Luoyu suddenly hooked his lips and looked at Xiao Cui with a light smile.
"Don't worry, who is not the Jade Concubine will make the right choice."
As soon as the words fell, the carriage was once again filled with a strong fragrance, with a slight smell of sandalwood, which was Qin Luoyu's favorite taste. In the smoke, she slowly closed her eyes, but the smile on her lips lasted for a long time before slowly fading.
During this time, the jade concubine in the eyes of outsiders was a thousand honors and favors (shēn), but only Lu Xiaoyu knew what she was going through. Every night when she closes her eyes, it is the unjust soul of the previous Liu Guiren who comes to ask for her life.
In the Chuxiu Palace, Liu Guiren is arrogant everywhere, and she seems to be more like the emperor. Lu Xiaoyu finally got close to the queen, and she felt that it was time for her to do something. Therefore, Liu became the first chess piece she wanted to pull out.
In the end, it was the woman in the boudoir, she didn't experience anything more, she was involved in human life without warning, and most importantly, the fact that the pastry was poisonous, but I don't know when Qin Luoyu learned about it.
Therefore, Qin Luoyu came to threaten Lu Xiaoyu to ask for Zhou Huan's life.
In the carriage, Zhou Huan calmly listened to Lu Xiaoyu's half-truthful explanation, "You mean, Concubine Qin tried to attack the palace on the road, and she once tried to join forces with you?" ”
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu's eyes were already a little moist, "Queen Mother, this matter is true, you must bring more guards to protect you." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Huan nodded calmly, making it difficult to see her (qíng) thread, "When I first entered the palace, although Concubine Qin played some careful thoughts, but after entering the palace, Concubine Qin did not have any trouble, and there is merit, Concubine Yu must not recognize the wrong person." ”
Obviously, for Lu Xiaoyu, Zhou Huan is more willing to believe in Qin Luoyu.
"But Niangniang, what Concubine Qin Niangniang said is true, that girl Ziping in your palace, I heard that these (rì) children are sick, I'm afraid that Niangniang also sent her questions."
Lu Xiaoyu was anxious to make Zhou Huan trust herself, and (qíng) hurriedly told Ziping about (qíng).
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, the atmosphere in the narrow space suddenly became tense for two points, and after a while, Zhou Huan looked at Lu Xiaoyu in front of him with a smile, "Ziping's girl was returned to the Wang family by this palace." ”
is concise and to the point, but it shows Zhou Huan's attitude in this matter, Lu Xiaoyu came to her to get to the bottom of it, but she just wanted to show her a picture that she had been preparing for a long time.
The hole cards of "Concubine ......" were revealed by Zhou Huan one after another, and Lu Xiaoyu seemed to be a little anxious.
"Then why don't Concubine Yu come and tell this palace, why did Concubine Qin find you, don't you have any handle in Concubine Qin's hands?" Zhou Huan was aggressive, but Lu Xiaoyu's face became more and more pale.
Sure enough, Zhou Huan is not a simple character.
Just when the atmosphere in the carriage was suddenly tense, Xiao Liuzi said respectfully outside: "Queen Niangniang, you have reached the bottom of the mountain, and the rest of the way, I'm afraid that Niangniang will have to walk over in person." ”
This is an important place for Buddhism, and it should be.
"Okay, in the future, this kind of thing (qíng), it's better for Concubine Yu to stop chewing the root of her tongue." Zhou Huan opened his mouth unhappily and expelled Lu Xiaoyu from the carriage, as if he didn't want to save face at all.
In the carriage, Lumei looked at Zhou Huan suspiciously, and then continued to pack her things without speaking.
Zhou Huan smiled, "Don't worry, the matter of today (rì) (qíng), this palace is sure." ”
"But, Niangniang, if something goes wrong, the emperor ...... there" Lumei was worried, Ziping was a member of the Wang family, and she had been arranged in Kunning Palace for so long, coupled with what Concubine Fang Cai Yu said, so that Lumei always felt that things (qíng) were not simple.
"Fang Cai, how much do you think you can believe those words of Concubine Yu?"
When climbing the mountain, Zhou Huan walked in the front, and he was bored and said a few words to Lu Meiduo next to (shēn).
Lumei carefully supported Zhou Huan, "It's half-true, anyway, Concubine Yu's mother just wants to be a wallgrass." ”
"Yes, she doesn't choose, Bengong is just happy, after all, if she chooses Bengong, she may have to be wronged by Bengong for the sake of the overall situation."
Zhou Huan's tone was brisk, but there was a bit of lightness in it.
Lu Mei, who was walking with her eyes down, suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Zhou Huan next to her (shēn) with a smile, "Niangniang, wait." ”
With that, Lumei Zhuan (shēn) stopped and looked at the place behind him twice, and then saw the location of the Jade Concubine clearly.
"Jade Concubine, the queen said that she believed you." Lumei walked over quickly, seemingly deliberately attached (shēn) closer, but the tone was full of energy, and the few palace maids who were close (shēn) must have heard it.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaoyu's eyes when she looked at Lumei suddenly became two points more annoyed, but at this moment, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.
Back next to Zhou Huan (shēn), Lumei blinked mischievously, Concubine Yu is indeed not a good person, and she wants to protect herself everywhere, so why don't she help her?
The interaction between the master and servant all fell into Qin Luoyu's eyes not far away, and it seemed that this situation (qíng) seemed a little unexpected. The palm hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but tighten, and Qin Luoyu nodded with Xiao Cui next to him.
Suddenly, Xiao Cui gritted her teeth and worked hard, but the hand that was originally holding Qin Luoyu retreated directly, and then Qin Luoyu exclaimed and rolled down the stairs directly.
Fortunately, Xiaocui protected Qin Luoyu at a critical time.
"Niangniang-" Xiao Cui looked at Qin Luoyu, who was bleeding from his forehead, and was anxious, "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor." ”
Because of the (qíng) situation here, Zhou Huan, who was originally walking in front, also stopped and prepared to go over to take a look. But who knows, it was in such a chaotic situation that a lot of black-clothed people suddenly rushed out on both sides of the originally quiet mountain road.
Those people were holding knives, and at first glance they were purposefully targeted.
Lumei hurriedly protected Zhou Huan's front, but she didn't know that the clothes on Zhou Huan (shēn) were still too easy to expose, and those black-clothed people rushed over directly with knives.
The little six sons not far away were anxious, "Protect the queen, quickly, protect the queen." ”
But in the end, it was too late, there were too many people in black, and most of them looked like (shēn) strong, and at first glance they were people who could not be easily provoked.
For a while, the guards and the man in black were entangled together, and the palace people scattered one after another to protect their masters, and only Zhou Huan, who was at the forefront, fell into a dilemma.
"Demon queen, don't take your life yet."
After the man in black finished speaking, he rushed over directly with a knife, but at the critical moment, Zhou Huan pushed away the green plum, and he wanted to retreat, but he slipped his foot directly, and Fei (shēn) fell.
"The Queen—"
Lumei even rolled and pounced, but they saw everything, they had just climbed halfway up the mountain, and the fog was heavy, so they really couldn't see anything.
"Hahaha, this is retribution." After the man in black looked up to the sky and laughed, he waved his hand, and suddenly the white mist dispersed from among the crowd.
When he was able to see everything clearly again, the man in black disappeared, and Zhou Huan had already fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
"Little Liuzi, let people go down to find Niangniang." Lumei didn't have time to grieve, although it looked very tall here, she believed that Zhou Huan would not have an accident.
Hearing this, the little sixth son who was stunned in place came back to his senses, and now (rì) the emperor sent him to escort the queen mother, why did such a foolish thing (qíng) happen.
"Come along, come along." Xiao Liuzi decided to go back to the queen mother in person.
He believed that the queen would have a great fortune and would not have an accident.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Zhou Huan (shēn) who fell off the cliff, Lu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was Qin Luoyu who won.
Fortunately, she also left a way for herself to retreat, Lu Xiaoyu walked quickly to Qin Luoyu's (shēn), but before she could speak, she was stopped by Xiaocui.
"Concubine Yu, my mother needs to rest, she doesn't want to see you."
Xiaocui is bold and straightforward, so if she is determined not to let Lu Xiaoyu pass, then Lu Xiaoyu has no way at all.
Lu Xiaoyu raised her eyes and looked over, Qin Luoyu was also looking at her, and there was a completely unobstructed (yīn) Yu and calculation in her eyes.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly understood that Zhou Huan was afraid that she was not setting up a game for herself, but was she really so powerful?
Just as Lu Xiaoyu hesitated, good news came from the people searching below.
The Queen Mother has found it.
