Chapter Forty-Seven: A Chance Encounter with Prince Guo
How could there be a man's voice in the imperial garden in the middle of the night, I was so frightened that I took two steps back, and sat down in the snowdrift with my ass, until a pair of boots embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns appeared in front of me, and I remembered to go and see who the other party was.
I looked up suddenly, and I saw a man with a cold face looking at me condescendingly, although the moonlight was very good today, but still couldn't see the man's face clearly, I only felt a kind of pressing momentum, rushing towards me.
"You're from the Wu Palace?" The man stretched out his hand to me, as if to help me up, but I didn't, and struggled in the snow for a while before I got up.
"Who is your honor? Your Excellency is still hanging out in the harem at such a late hour, aren't you afraid that the emperor will behead you? "My tone is cold, and I can't let the other party think that I have a special plan to appear here in the middle of the night.
When the man heard my words, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he laughed out loud in the snow: "The imperial brother will not cut off my head, if this matter reaches the ears of the imperial brother, do you think that the imperial brother will behead me for a little concubine?" ”
The man kept approaching, but I kept retreating, and at this moment I wanted to shout out and ask Qiushui to come and save me, but I didn't dare to make a sound.
If I invite palace people walking around here, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell if I have a hundred mouths.
I forced myself to calm down, I suddenly remembered the man's words, he called the emperor the imperial brother, the emperor has only one brother today, the other princes died and exiled, and the only thing that can be said is Prince Guo, who returned to Beijing today!
"Prince Guo is still hanging out in the harem so late, isn't he drunk from eating?" I said coldly.
I think that since the identity of the other party is clear, presumably the other party will not do anything out of the ordinary, although if this matter is really stabbed in front of the emperor, although the emperor will deal with those concubines who have committed crimes in order to save the royal face, but he will also be suspicious of Prince Guo.
Prince Guo Ye Nao was not an ordinary person after all, and immediately understood the meaning of my words, and then he took a few steps back, giving me room to move.
"I don't know which palace this lady is from? Good teeth! Although Prince Guo took a few steps back, the momentum on his body still made me a little frightened.
"The concubine is Lin Changzai of Xiwu Palace, and she has seen Prince Guo." After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave, for for if I were to be kept with Prince Guo, I would rather go to bed.
This man always gives people a feeling of unfathomability, and if you have too much contact with such a person, you will definitely not end well.
"Why is Lin Changzai in a hurry to leave? Is this king really so terrifying? ”
Prince Guo was behind me, following me closely, but I didn't dare to look back, and even quickened my pace.
Probably seeing that I insisted on leaving, Prince Guo said something that surprised me: "I don't know if Lin Changzai has a twin sister?" Her name is Lin Bofeng, and she is the same as Lin Changzai's appearance. ”
Lin Bofeng, I haven't heard this name for a long time, where did Prince Guo learn about it!
Holding back the surprise in my heart, I stopped and replied coldly: "The prince is joking, Huaixing is the only woman of the right age in the Lin family, and Huaixing has become the emperor's woman, how can I talk about twin sisters?" ”
Although I know that Ye Qiannao is talking about Lin Huaixing who ran away from home, not me, Lin Bofeng who pretends to be Lin Huaixing, but I can't help but be afraid in my heart, if Prince Guo Ye Qiannao really knows that Lin Huaixing ran away from home, and I will take Lin Huaixing's name to enter the palace draft, not only me, but even the entire Lin family will be implicated.
Although I say how much I hate Lin Huaien, in my heart, the Lin family is my home after all, and it is an existence that I can't give up.
"Really? At that time, the king felt that the other party was a strange woman, and carefully inquired about the other party's family history, she said that she was from the Lin family in the capital, and there was an aunt named Lin Nanyue, if it wasn't Lin Changzai's twin sister, then what she said was not easy to explain. ”
I know what Prince Guo meant, it is nothing more than that he and Lin Bofeng are just meeting in Pingshui, and the other party does not need to deceive people about this matter, if it is necessary to say that one of the two of them is a liar, no matter who it is, they will think that Lin Huaixing Lin Changzai, who lives in Xiwu Palace today, is a liar.
"Don't listen to the slander of the villain, although it is peaceful today, but there are a lot of liars and bandits, the prince is afraid that he has met a liar!"
Since Prince Guo mentioned this matter, if I don't make it clear today, and Prince Guo sues the emperor in front of him, I won't be able to tell even if I have a hundred mouths by then.
"Since Lin promised that there is no such thing, then I have to tell the imperial brother about this interesting matter, I believe that the imperial brother will be very interested!" said that Prince Guo was leaving, as if he was going to tell the emperor about it.
I hurriedly stopped him, and I must not let Prince Guo tell the emperor about this matter: "When Prince Guo told me about this, he should not just tell me an interesting story, but also have some other purpose, if so, then Prince Guo should just say it." ”
Hearing my words, Prince Guo really stopped, and then looked at me: "I know that Lin is a smart person, and he will definitely not alarm the imperial brother because of this little thing." ”
But when I listened to Prince Guo's words, there was a faint anger in my heart, for her, Prince Guo was threatening her now, and he was threatening her with the Lin family, whom she hated the most!
"As long as Prince Guo can keep his promise and not tell the emperor about this matter, then I am willing to help Prince Guo do something!"
But after I said this, Prince Guo behaved extremely innocently: "Where did Lin promise to start, when did this king say that he asked Lin to help me?" ”
I didn't expect that the words had already come to this point, and Prince Guo was still pretending to be confused: "Although you and the emperor are compatriots, the Queen Mother seems to have a preference for Prince Guo, and there are even rumors in the market that the emperor's favorite prince was Prince Guo, but why is the person who is sitting on the throne now the emperor?" ”
Although I know some things about the emperor and Prince Guo, what I know is not so accurate, so now I can only say my guess as a bargaining chip for me to negotiate with Prince Guo!
Sure enough, after I said this, Prince Guo's face immediately changed: "Lin promised that you can't talk nonsense, if you let the royal brother know, you still think that this king is coveting the throne!" ”
I couldn't help sneering in my heart, born in the emperor's family, there is no prince who has never thought about the dragon chair that represents the dignity of the Ninety-Five, since he has thought about it, why are he afraid of being told by others.
"Since Prince Guo thinks that he has done the right thing, why is he so afraid of these things that I have said?" My words hit the nail on the head, and Prince Guo's face obviously flashed a touch of ruthlessness, and at that moment I was betting that Prince Guo would not make a move to hurt the harem concubines in the palace.
Sure enough, under my stimulation, Prince Guo compromised: "Since the words have been said to this point, I will not hide from Lin to agree, since you and I both have the handle of the other party in our hands, then we are like the other party made a condition, but if you don't meet the other party's conditions, you can tell the secret you know to the imperial brother, okay?" ”
I didn't believe Prince Guo's words, because no matter what time it is, Prince Guo is still a legitimate prince, and no matter how much the emperor hates his brother, he will not do anything bad to Prince Guo.
And I'm different, I'm just an insignificant harem concubine, and in the past, the concubines would often fight for favor and fight fiercely, but I never heard that the emperor completely investigated the cause of the concubine's death because of the death of the concubine.
"The prince is just joking at this, the evidence in my hand has no way to shake the prince in the slightest, let alone provoke the relationship between the emperor and the prince." I looked coldly at the man in front of me.
I began to wonder why God gave Prince Guo such a plump and handsome appearance, but he had to match him with a pair of iron and stone hearts?
At this moment, there was no smile on my face, as if a layer of frost could form.
Prince Guo still maintained his appearance of not caring about himself: "Lin promised not to be so excited, this king is still a man of words, so let's do it, if Lin promises to win the battle and help me do things for three years, after three years, when everything settles, I will promise Lin a condition for you?" ”
I have to say that this condition offered by Prince Guo is still very tempting, if she can really help Prince Guo do things for three years, she can exchange three years of youth for a freedom and live freely in the world.
It seemed that he noticed that I was a little shaken, and Prince Guo immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Lin promised not to rush to answer this king's words, this king can give you time to think, but there must be a time limit, so be it, if Lin promised not to give me an answer within three days, I can only tell the imperial brother what I know." ”
I can't wait to peel off the skin and bones of Prince Guo in front of me at this moment, but I know that the identities of the two of us are very different, and I am still the emperor's woman, if this matter is known by the emperor in the future, the Lin family will still be wiped out.
"I don't think it's Prince Guo who should be impatient, I still say that, if Prince Guo can keep his promise, I will definitely look forward to Prince Guo!" There was a glint of hope in my eyes, for only by following Prince Guo could I have a chance to escape from this cage made of gold.
"In this case, then Lin promised to be a grasshopper on a rope with this king, so that the task that Lin promised will pass on a little master through flying pigeons in the future!"
As he spoke, Prince Guo took out a small piccolo from his pocket and put it in front of me: "This is promised to Lin, if there is something you need my help with in the future, you can play this little piccolo, even if I am not there, someone will come to help you!" ”
I looked at the piccolo in my hand, and suddenly understood that what Prince Guo gave me was not a piccolo, but a key that could justifiably monitor me, as long as this key was on my body, I would always live under Prince Guo's eyelids, so that he would no longer have to worry about me doing anything against him.
But in this situation, I can only take the piccolo he gave me, and I have no choice at all.
"Then I'll take my leave first, and Prince Guo should rest early!" With that, I took the piccolo from Prince Guo's hand and quickly disappeared into the night.
