022 Last Night's Stars
The night sky is high, the moonlight is like washing, and it is as clean as a huge silver plate. The heavens and the earth are covered in silver moonlight, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to the Changle Princess Mansion in the daytime. But it was finally broken by this sudden female voice, and it was torn to pieces in an instant.
Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows, and his old yellow eyes looked as sharp as a cat that suddenly woke up in the night. Slowly swinging the dust in his hand, he took the lead in standing under the eaves of the porch, but his eyes gradually closed. If you don't stand up straight, it's as if you're really asleep.
The Imperial Forest Army was silent, and in the blink of an eye, the Yuhua Pavilion was surrounded by water, like quicksand and fine water, and it was pervasive. But the crows were silent.
Zhou Defu changed into a stone blue eunuch uniform before coming over, and when he saw the situation in the courtyard, he quietly retreated at the door of the moon cave without saying a word.
In the house, the lights were as bright as day. The figure of the Northern Xia Emperor was stretched obliquely, and the original rain had passed the azure, and a silver-veined cicada gauze silk robe was forced into dark gray, covering the upper layer of unknown shadows. The young emperor stood with his hands tied, his young and handsome cheeks tinged with an unnatural flush, and the brightness of his eyes was unclear, looking condescendingly at the woman in a brocade dress and loose bun on the ground.
"Your Majesty, just let the slave go." The woman's forehead pressed against the ground and she burst into tears, her long hair scattered over her face.
After a long time, Emperor Beixia sighed slowly: "Princess Changle, I told you a long time ago that your identity is different from others, why do you call yourself a slave?" ”
"The slave is terrified." The woman was so grieved that she could not utter a complete sentence. No matter how Mama Jin pulled, she refused to move.
Emperor Beixia frowned, and the cold light in his eyes looked at Mama Jin: "You tell me clearly, what's going on!" ”
Mama Jin knelt down, lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at the young emperor's angry and terrifying eyebrows: "A few days ago, the princess saw an abandoned child on the street, and the princess saw that he was pitiful, so she ordered someone to carry him back to the house, and found Lang Zhong to cure the child. Later, the princess saw that the child gave birth to Yuxue cute, and moved the idea of adopting him as a righteous son. only then did he say that he would return to the emperor in two days and officially welcomed him into the family tree. Behold....... ”
"He's dead!"
Princess Changle suddenly spoke, raised her head as she spoke, her long hair spread out like water and grass, revealing a pale complexion, and her eyes were like stars looking up at the man standing at the top of the power in front of her.
"He's dead." Princess Changle said gloomily: "The high fever does not subside, and the water and rice do not enter." The slave tried her best to keep him alive, but it was a pity...... After all, he still died in the arms of the slave, just like Xing'er. Slaves....... ”
Princess Changle choked up: "The slave and maid hugged him and called his name." His body was obviously still hot when he was in my arms, and suddenly he ...... It's cold. It's cold ....... ”
It is said that a man is like fire, and a woman is like water. The five elements are mutually reinforcing, and water can overcome fire. Princess Changle obviously understood this truth very well, and the tears that snaked down from the corners of her eyes finally completely extinguished the anger of Emperor Beixia.
"Nurse." Emperor Beixia slowly squatted in front of her, and a bit of incredible guilt appeared in his eyes, and he even changed his title: "Xing'er died early, I have posthumously named him King Kang, and he will definitely live happily under the Nine Springs." You have to take care of your body, and don't worry about some old people anymore. ”
"Your Majesty." Princess Changle bit her lip: "Slave and maid thank you for your kindness to our mother and son. Xing'er is a well-behaved child, he knew that the emperor needed slaves and maids, so he died of illness at that time and called slaves and maids into the palace. Being able to become the emperor's nurse in this life is the luckiest thing for a slave and maid, and it is also the merit of Xing'er. ”
"Slave maid...... From a humble background, the emperor is a benevolent and righteous king. But it really shouldn't ...... You shouldn't have given such a great grace to slaves and stars, so that people outside could be so ...... Talking about you. Tonight even alarmed you, and the slave and maid are to blame for their deaths. ”
Emperor Beixia waved his hand to interrupt her words: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of the North Palace alive." In my heart, only you and Su'er are my relatives, what are others? Although you are a nursing mother, you are better than your own mother, but I can't recognize you as a stepmother because of etiquette, and I have wronged you by giving you the title of a princess to receive a first-class lady who protects the country. Your identity as a princess, no one can put a beak. Who dares to talk nonsense, I cut out his tongue. ”
"Your Majesty, you are really ......." Princess Changle sobbed, and her eyes were thick again. The emotions in his eyes were mixed with sadness and shock, and finally turned into complex and indistinguishable pain.
Emperor Beixia succeeded to the throne as a young man, and he was only twenty-four years old after ten years on the throne. Years of pampered life have smoothed out the edges and corners of childhood, and people have become rich. The whole body is the demeanor of a nobleman. Princess Changle had already touched this person's temperament thoroughly, and every time she could hit that person's soft underbelly, she easily broke his hard mask, making him reveal his softest side.
"Your Majesty." Princess Changle lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the smug joy in her eyes under her long hair. His shoulders shrugged slightly, and he looked cowardly and weak: "Xing'er and this child are blessed, and the slave wants to make some merits to accumulate some blessings for them." In the future, they will be reincarnated as human beings, so that they may be blessed and happy for a long time. ”
Her words were earnest, and her voice was soft. It was the same tone and attitude when I first met Emperor Beixia who was still a prince in the hellish North Palace more than ten years ago. The sharpness of Emperor Beixia's body was completely wiped out.
"I agreed. Whatever you want to do, just ask. How much sesame oil money you need, I will ask the household department to allocate it to you. ”
"How dare you move the treasury." Princess Changle shook her head: "The slave maid had a dream the night before, and in the dream, a swollen water ghost came to the slave maid to cry. said that he died unjustly, and the real murderer was never brought to justice with impunity. If the slave and maid could not help, he would take away the most precious thing of the slave and maid, and the child would be ...... today. ”
Princess Changle took a breath: "So, the slave maid made a vow in front of the Buddha, hoping that there will be no wrong case in Yanjing City from now on." I think it's going to be a big deal. ”
Emperor Beixia groaned and said, "I will instruct Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the recent case. ”
"Nope." Princess Changle shook her head: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." Since Dali Temple has been called to give the wrong verdict, how can it be easy to change the result? After all, Dali Temple also has to take care of face. ”
"You mean ......."
"Slaves and maids often hear the concubine Niangniang mention that today only Jinyiwei is the most intimate person with the emperor."
Speaking of the noble concubine Xiao Su'er, Emperor Beixia's eyes softened a little, and even the corners of his lips added a smile: "Su'er's words will naturally not be wrong, so I will assign this matter to Jinyiwei to handle." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Changle kowtowed gently: "The slave and maid thank the emperor for the people of the world." ”
"You're ......." Emperor Beixia looked at her and sighed faintly: "Don't be sad about Xing'er's affairs anymore." I know that Xing'er's death has always been a problem for you, and I will find a lovely colt for you as soon as possible, and one day I will be able to get Lin'er again. ”
"Your Majesty, it's almost curfew."
Zhao Xun called out in a low voice outside the door. Emperor Beixia nodded slightly, instructed Mama Jin to help Princess Changle up, and whispered a few words of comfort to her before leaving the princess's mansion and returning to the palace.
It wasn't until the Imperial Forest Army couldn't even see the slightest shadow that Zhou Defu quickly jumped in: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" The minion goes out on an errand on the front foot, and you fall ill on the back foot. Are all the people in the house dead? Whoever is on duty today, the minions will pack them up later. ”
He crossed his waist and raised his voice very high, filled with righteous indignation.
Mama Jin was holding a bowl of warm ginseng soup in her hand, and was carefully feeding it to Princess Changle one by one. Leng Buding heard Zhou Defu's roar and trembled, almost spilled the ginseng soup, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
Princess Changle reclined on the bed, with a thick soft pillow behind her waist, squinting at Zhou Defu for a long time without speaking.
Zhou Defu's body gradually stiffened, and his eyes rolled and said, "The slave heard that today's disaster was caused by Jun Qinglan. Therefore, the slave led someone to arrest Jun Qinglan, thinking of catching the little white face to vent the princess's anger. ”
Princess Changle hooked the corners of her lips slightly, raised her hand to tuck her scattered hair bun, and said casually, "Did you catch it?" Do you dare to break into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division? ”
Zhou Defu shuddered, and his smile was a little far-fetched: "That's not true." However, the slave heard that Jun Qinglan was in the mansion, so he had been investigating thoroughly in the mansion. If the princess wants the servant to go to the Zhenfu Division to get Jun Qinglan, the slave will go. ”
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Princess Changle said lazily: "This princess knows where Jun Qinglan is. ”
"The princess is really like a god, God is wonderful, there is no omission, no omission, no omission, no ......."
"Alright." Princess Changle waved her hand: "Although your set is beautiful, it is also boring to listen to a lot." ”
After that, she sat up a little straighter, slowly patted her hands and said lightly, "You come out." ”
Crisp footsteps suddenly sounded in the quiet dormitory, startling Zhou Defu's body. Jun Qinglan is in the princess's bedroom? In the bedroom all the time??
No way!!!
Emperor Beixia was very good to Princess Changle, and built this princess mansion to the utmost luxury, almost emptying half of the treasury, and using all good things. The bed of Yuhua Pavilion is a broken branch plum blossom stepping bed with good water agarwood, and the bead silk curtain of the spirit animal is auspicious brocade, and it is very big. Hiding yourself behind the bed is not a problem.
But......
The emperor is here. How dare you hide someone in the house? What a ...... That's why it's just that one...... Zhou Defu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"The minister Qinglan knocks on the princess." A voice as cold as a spring suddenly sounded: "Thank you princess for your great kindness." ”
Zhou Defu looked at it coldly, and knelt straight in front of the bed. In order to be afraid of getting up in winter and freezing the princess's jade feet, Princess Changle spread a peony cashmere blanket in front of her bed, and stepped on it soft and warm. The princess liked the softness of the cashmere blanket, and no one was allowed to change it in the summer. Jun Qinglan did not kneel on the cashmere blanket, only knelt on the cold bluestone floor.
The attitude is quite humble, but what a pity is the character...... Zhou Defu pouted fiercely, and he refused to be a colt after using so many means. Something that doesn't have long eyes is not a good thing!
"Jun Qinglan." Princess Changle raised her eyebrows and looked at the famous Yanjing in front of her, thinking of the person's ignorance and secretly gritting her teeth: "This princess is not helping you, she is just betting with you." You haven't forgotten our bet! ”
