Chapter 371: Murder with Intent
Murong Hao, who was sitting in front of the window, raised his eyes, glanced out the window, and snorted angrily, seeing if the emperor would come to Rongyi Palace tonight.
Thinking of this, she stood up, annoyed and angry, and walked towards the inner chamber.
It was getting dark, and there were still a few palaces in the harem with lights on.
One of them is in the Hall of Pure Sound.
A figure was reflected on the curtain, the woman had a graceful figure, three-dimensional facial features, and slowly put down the needle and thread in her hand.
"Boy, don't embroider, it's not too early, you should go to sleep." Bai Shao stepped into the inner hall, placed a candle on the small table, and reminded softly.
Sitting upright is Zhao Jingxian, lowering her phoenix eyes, looking at the sewn silk handkerchief in her hand, and asked casually: "The emperor is resting in that palace tonight?" ”
At this time, Bai Shao frowned and said in a low voice: "Little master, which concubine in the harem do you guess?" ”
"I'm afraid it's the concubine's Chaohua Palace again."
After all, Ye Hao had the means to make Xie Yuchen have to go to Chaohua Palace, Zhao Jingxian replied slowly.
She stretched out her slender fingers and brushed the sewn silk handkerchief in her hand, and her delicate cheeks curled up, but the smile was cold from the inside out.
"Little master, this guess will be wrong." Bai Shao said mysteriously, and then served a cup of hot tea.
Putting down the needle and thread in her hand, Zhao Jingxian took the tea, took a sip elegantly, and said with a touch of arc on her delicate little face: "The little master doesn't know, but Li Chang is sleeping tonight." ”
As soon as she took a sip of tea, Zhao Jingxian paused the movements in her hand, her delicate face was stunned, and then she said with relief: "How did you know?" ”
"When the little lord was having dinner just now, the news had already spread in the harem." Bai Shao lowered her head and said, "The slave didn't want to disturb the little master's embroidery heart, so she never told the little master." ”
"You slave and maid, but tell me about it." A curious look appeared on Zhao Jingxian's delicate cheeks, and she asked in surprise.
At this time, Bai Shao frowned and said in a low voice: "Tonight, the emperor specially summoned Li Chang to have dinner in the Qianqing Palace." ”
"It can be seen that the emperor's favor for her is not small." Zhao Jingxian put down the teacup in her hand and said faintly.
After all, the first time she went to bed, Xie Yuchen was able to live in the Qianqing Palace with a low-ranking Changzai, which shows that he is very kind to her.
"In the past, Li Changzai was not good-looking, why did he become favored once?" Bai Shao looked puzzled and asked in surprise.
At this time, Zhao Jingxian was relieved, and her delicate face hooked up an arc and said: "Since the emperor's favored concubines naturally have the emperor's reason." ”
"What the little lord said is very true."
Bai Shao on the side hurriedly echoed.
Then Zhao Jingxian lowered her phoenix eyes casually and picked up the needle and thread in her hand, and said softly: "It's not too early, the concubine will finish embroidering the silk handkerchief on hand." ”
"Little master, let the slave and maid come, doing embroidery at night will hurt your eyes." Bai Shao said with a worried face.
"No, it's just a few needles and threads." Zhao Jingxian waved her hand and motioned for Bai Shao to get up.
She lowered her beautiful eyes and looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her delicate cheeks curled up and said, "This orchid is my favorite." ”
In desperation, Bai Shao didn't want to say much, she moved the candle flame to Zhao Jingxian's side, and then said in a low voice: "The little master liked orchids when he was in the boudoir, and the slave and maid were also happy when they saw it. ”
"I don't know what the concubine will think tonight?" After Zhao Jingxian embroidered the silk handkerchief, she put it in her palm and played with it, and asked faintly.
Bai Shao on the side frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, and said in surprise: "The little master doesn't know, there is no movement in the Chaohua Palace tonight. ”
"Ye Hao is a calm woman."
When she said this, Zhao Jingxian's eyes sank, and a cold light burst out from the bottom of her eyes. Euro eBook
"How much of a storm can a small Chang Zai make in the harem?" Bai Shao said disdainfully, with a look of disgust between her eyebrows.
Zhao Jingxian, who sat elegantly, frowned slightly, and the candle flame beside her illuminated her dark eyes, flickering like thousands of stars.
"I'm afraid that this harem won't be calm in the future." Zhao Jingxian frowned slightly, picked up the silk handkerchief in her hand and looked at it carefully, and a sneer appeared on her delicate cheeks.
It was late at night, and the wind was blowing outside the window, and the howling cold wind beat against the window lattice and made a loud sound.
Seeing this, Bai Shao stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "It's not too early for the little master, you should rest." ”
Zhao Jingxian folded the silk handkerchief in her hand completely, and instructed softly: "Tomorrow morning, send this silk handkerchief to Concubine Jing, and say that I sewed it by hand." ”
Taking the silk handkerchief, Bai Shao said softly: "Yes." ”
Waiting for Zhao Jingxian to fall asleep, Bai Shao got up and left.
Following.
Before dawn, the lights in the Qianqing Palace were lit.
I saw several palace maids walking in front of me with the lantern tower in their hands, and behind them was followed by a slender woman, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her little pink face was dyed red.
"Li Chang is at your feet at the moment."
Qiao'er, the slave on her side, helped Li Huilan down the steps with a happy face.
At this moment, Wang Dafu was already standing in front of Fengluan Chunen's car, and when he saw Li Huilan coming, he immediately stepped forward respectfully, and carefully helped her to get into the carriage.
"The slave sends off the little master." Wang Dafu said with a smile.
After the words fell, the car slowly set off.
Then Wang Dafu turned around and walked into the Qianqing Palace, and respectfully saluted the man sitting in front of the bed: "Back to the emperor, Li Changzai is leaving." ”
"Change my clothes." Xie Yuchen stood up and ordered in a low voice.
At this time, Wang Dafu had a hesitant look on his face, he glanced sideways at the window, and reminded in a low voice: "It's not yet the time of the last dynasty, the emperor was tired last night, and he should sleep again." ”
"No need." Xie Yuchen's cold face made no trace of emotion visible.
didn't dare to slack off, Wang Dafu immediately ordered the palace maids waiting outside, and they immediately walked into the palace to wait for Xie Yuchen to change clothes.
In a moment's effort, Xie Yuchen was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, got up and walked to the outer room, and sat in front of the desk.
The man sat upright, with a cold expression on his grim face, and his bony fingers picked up a book of monuments and flipped through it.
Wang Dafu on the side didn't dare to disturb, he waved his hand to signal the slaves and maids waiting in the palace to retreat, and then he took a candle and placed it on the desk.
In the palace of Nuoda, a few traces of cold wind faintly seeped in from the crack in the door, blowing up the white veils hanging in the palace.
Wang Dafu couldn't help but tremble, he hurriedly walked to the door and window and closed the door, and then returned to Xie Yuchen's side.
At this moment, the sky outside the window gradually brightened.
Seeing this, Wang Dafu looked at Xie Yuchen who was still concentrating on looking at the book in his hand, and reminded in a low voice: "It's not too early for the emperor, you should go to the early court." ”
"Hmm." Xie Yuchen's thin lips opened slightly.
About the hour when I felt a stick of incense, the sky outside the window was already bright.
Chaohua Palace.
