Chapter 15: The Undercurrent
"It also saves your fox Your Highness from secretly blowing the pillow wind, which makes Your Highness disgusted with me!"
Miao Su's face was like frost, and he hooked the corners of his lips and sneered disdainfully: "Lord Yin is imprisoned, the Yin clan is crumbling, and the building will collapse." I never thought that the silver beauty would still have leisure at this time, and condescended to come to the next room, and discussed the art of the boudoir with a slave maid in the dead of night. Miao Su didn't have to think about it at all, and she knew that Yin Ruixue was not at ease, her poisonous eyes this morning were eager to eat Miao Su into her stomach! Now I come late at night, as the saying goes: the deeper the exposure, the nightmare is misty. What good can be? I'm afraid that all the resentment suffered by Bai Chengjin will be counted on her head, and she will come to find a thorn!
Yin Ruixue was sarcastically ridiculed, and suddenly became angry.
Her patience was exhausted, and she angrily pointed at Miao Su and shouted, "Green Core, tear her mouth for me!" "The beautiful face is full of bitterness and meanness, which makes people can't help but feel disgusted when they see it.
The green core is half a head lower than Miao Su, she pretended to be imposing and walked in front of Miao Su, her eyes were thin, and she raised her hand to fan Miao Su.
Syllable!
Miao Su clasped Green Core's wrist, his eyes were sharp, and he slapped her hard.
She's been putting up with it for a long time!
Green Core covered his hot right cheek, and was slapped by Miao Su so that his eyes were full of stars, and he was stunned. She didn't expect Miao Su to fight back at all.
Seeing this, the anger in Yin Ruixue's eyes was even stronger, this slut dared to fight back! Since she came to see Miao Su late at night, she was naturally not alone. clapped his hands, and suddenly several Xuanyi guards appeared behind him, all of them stepped forward and easily grabbed Miao Su and pushed her to her knees.
After all, Yin Ruixue is the concubine of the prime minister, how can there not be a few guards around her, and she didn't dare to call it easily in the prince's mansion in the past, lest His Royal Highness be suspicious. Now she is in a difficult situation, and if she wants to stand in the prince's mansion, she must remove all obstacles. Tonight, she must kill this in front of her, as long as she is dead, she has her own way to get into the eyes of His Highness!
Miao Su's knees were painful, and she raised her head and looked at Yin Ruixue with an angry face. Yin Ruixue stepped forward with an elegant gait, grabbed Miao Su's hair, raised her hand to remove the royal blue dot emerald pearl hairpin on her head, and pushed the sharp hairpin against Miao Su's white and moist jade cheeks. Suddenly approaching Miao Su's ears, his eyes fluctuated fiercely, and he lowered his voice and said coldly: "You say, if I disfigure your soul-seducing face, will Your Highness still favor you?" β
Miao Su smiled contemptuously, and raised her eyes to meet Yin Ruixue's eyes, her glass-clear and beautiful eyes hid a compelling cold blade. She didn't say anything, it was a waste to say a word to someone as stupid as Yin Ruixue!
A gust of night wind suddenly blew, Miao Su subconsciously shivered, she was already cold, although it was spring, she was covered with two layers of bedding, this toss was even more cold and unbearable.
"If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you making a fuss about!" Qiu Mao came from the cloister, her eyes swept around and scolded.
Yin Ruixue glanced at the green core fiercely, let go of Miao Su and stood up, and tucked the royal blue dot emerald pearl hairpin into the cuffs. Green Core's back trembled, she had already inquired about Aunt Qiu Mao who was on duty in Yuqing Hall tonight, how could she...
"Silver beauty, let the slave and maid say a lot, if your Highness knows about the little master's behavior tonight, it will not only be disadvantageous to the little master's current situation, but I am afraid that it will also implicate others." Qiu Mao glanced at Yin Ruixue coldly, and said in a calm tone.
Yin Ruixue naturally knew what the others in Qiu Mao's mouth meant, and suddenly her arrogance decreased slightly.
Aunt Qiu Mao is the old man next to the prince, and she is also the aunt in charge of the East Palace, and she is deeply trusted by the prince, who dares to show her face easily? As the saying goes: The prince Fumen has three products, if Yin Ruixue was favored in the past, she would naturally not put Qiu Mao in her eyes, but now her status is not comparable to the past.
With Qiu Mao here, Yin Ruixue didn't dare to act rashly, and Miao Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yin Ruixue looked at Miao Su resentfully, she would definitely not spare this! Angrily shook the cloud sleeves and turned away. The green core belt man followed.
At the end of the song, people are scattered...
Miao Su closed his eyes, and his soft body trembled lightly in the wind. When I looked closer, I saw that her face was so white, her closed eyes were full of tears, and her long eyelashes were shaking as if they were soaked in water.
Exactly, when will she be able to leave here with Lingyue...

Inside the Heart Cultivation Palaceββ
The emperor sat on the imperial table, Shu Ping's brows were filled with breath-taking majesty, and the silver-black beard on his chin and midriff was carefully trimmed. With a string of precious Buddhist beads hanging on his white hand, he slowly picked up the celadon teacup on the golden tablecloth, pinched the tea lid and turned the edges back and forth twice, blowing the steaming heat. While taking a sip, he glanced at Lu Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with the corner of his dark eyes, and said in a deep voice: "How?" β
Lu Zhen supported the ground with an iron fist, kneeling on one knee in the center of the main hall, wearing a black gauze hat, a belt around his waist, wearing an embroidered spring knife, and a pair of dark eyes under the sword eyebrows were full of undisguised evil energy. The head of the jaw said sonorously: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are incompetent and have failed to succeed." β
He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Beizhen Fusi, Lu Xuan, the black flying fish suit on his body is a kind of noble clothing second only to the python suit, which is generally not available, and cannot be worn unless it is a special gift!
The emperor's face was dark and gloomy, a round of dark light floated under his eyes, he closed the tea cover and thought: "With the ability of the crown prince, it is expected that he did not succeed, but there are any traces left." The emerald green Buddha beads hanging on the back of the hand make the fingers exceptionally clean and white.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the blood guards trained by his subordinates are all top masters, and their swordsmanship and body shape are the same as those of the Demon Palace, so they will definitely not leave any traces." Lu Zhen replied.
"Well, how is Yinyi's case investigated?" The emperor looked at Lu Xuan, and darkness seemed to roll up in his eyes.
The emperor knew that Yinqi was the crown prince's person, and breaking off a high-ranking and powerful Yinqi would inevitably suppress the arrogance of the East Palace. The situation in the court needs to be balanced, and now the prince's prestige is too high, even if he is the prince, he has to guard against it. King Yu is talented, but he ignores the government. King Nan is also incapacitated. King Lin is romantic, and he can't count on it. At present, the situation is changing rapidly, and these sons of the emperor are more worry-free than the other, and it is enough for him to drink a pot!
"The subordinates have thoroughly investigated that the total amount of silver embezzled by Yin Qi is as high as 80,000 taels, and his eldest son Yin Guowei forcibly occupied nearly 9,000 mu of villagers' land.
Hearing this, the anger in the emperor's eyes grew stronger, and it seemed to be boiling. Han Yue, the chief steward who had been standing beside the emperor, saw that the emperor was about to explode into a thunderous rage, so he gave Lu Xuan a look and signaled him not to say any more.
Lu Zhen understood Han Yue's eyes, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Presumptuous! It is simply presumptuous not to put the laws of the court in his eyes like this! Such a big thing, what about the East Palace? That's how the prince gave me the prison country, huh? The emperor's eyebrows trembled with anger, and he rebuked in a loud voice. Under the panic of the monarch, Yinqi dared to collect money so wantonly, how could he not be angry?
The emperor's majesty is surging, like Mount Tai pressing the top. Lu Xuan's face was fearless, his calm eyes revealed a strong anger, and he said, "Your Majesty is angry." β
Han Yue withdrew his gaze from Lu Xuan, his right hand drooped to whisk the dust, he wore a Qiaoshi crown on his head, two strands of white hair drooping from his cheeks, thin eyebrows and long eyes, looking at the emperor's eyes flashed with a light that could not be underestimated, while stroking the emperor's back, he comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be really angry, speaking of which, the matter of Lord Yin is still the prince personally found out and handed over to Beizhen Fusi." His Royal Highness and His Majesty's father and son are of the same heart, the court has one less moth, and the weather will be renewed, which is also a good thing. β
Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying the tiger, being able to gain the trust of the emperor and serving the emperor for decades, how can he be an ordinary person, and the emperor's anger will be calmed in a few words.
The emperor glanced at Han Yue and said, "Hmph, you will speak for the crown prince." β
"Your Majesty, the evidence of the Yinqi corruption case is conclusive, how to deal with it is expected to be shown by Your Majesty." Lu Xuan asked after a pause.
Hearing this, the emperor sat back in the desk chair, flicked his sleeves to remove the teacup on the table from sight, leaned back to the back of the chair, and the narrow slit of his eyes cut a slender gap in the huge tent like a sharp knife, and faintly saw the black mist that was like an abyss with no end in sight.
The right hand constantly plucked the emerald green Buddha beads in his hand, and the sound of the collision of the Buddha beads caused people's hearts to beat up and down.
There was silence for a long time.
Lu Xuan was about to speak again, but was stopped by Han Yue's eyes. Jinyiwei has always only worked for the emperor, and they have never participated in court disputes. This is also one of the reasons why he won the trust of the emperor.
Lu Zhen was relieved, it seems that His Majesty has not decided how to deal with Yinyi's case, the prince's prestige is quite high, and his whole body will be affected by a single hair, and His Majesty will have to think about it.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is still waiting outside." Han Yue smiled at the right time, and his voice was a little feminine.
"Stand down." The emperor glanced at Lu Xuan.
"Yes!" Lu Zhen replied with his hand, his voice was sonorous and powerful, he got up and retreated to the door of the palace, and then turned to leave.
"Let her in." The emperor turned the page, his eyelids not raised, and his tone was so indifferent that there was no emotion.
"The Queen Mother..."
With the sharp voice of the eunuch outside, the curtain at the entrance of the hall was opened by the palace maid, and the queen walked in with a graceful and dignified posture, she was wearing a phoenix robe, her fingers were cocked and staggered around her waist, and her beautiful hand shape was like a beautiful butterfly wanting to spread her wings and fly. The steps were graceful and elegant, and the maid behind her followed with her head down with a soup, she slowly stepped forward, bowed her head and said, "The concubine sees the emperor." β
"What are you here for?" The emperor's cold tone seemed to be immersed in the cold winter wax moon.
The flawless smile on the queen's face froze for a moment, and she lowered her eyelashes, and the shadows at the end of her eyes were drawn deeper.
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and your body must be tired and tight, and the concubine specially made crystal cod soup, and the emperor will taste it." As he spoke, the emperor raised his hand and motioned for the maid to put it on the table, and the sun shone on the golden hollow emerald armor, with a layer of cold golden light.
Hearing the sound, the emperor's hand suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the crystal cod soup, and his abyss-like black eyes crossed a touch of imperceptible pain.
The queen looked at the emperor's expression, lowered her eyelashes and said softly: "There are two days to be the annual Flower God Festival, Your Majesty and the concubines will sprinkle copper coins on the upper floor of the imperial city to show that the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and pray for the blessings of the people. β
