Chapter 142: Quietly
Wait a minute! Xie Zongren stopped her, "You said that I have a strong desire for power, I don't deny it, but I didn't play with the tenth princess, if I reconcile with her, you will still look at me like this?" “
Yun Xiu paused, turned his head and said: "Xie Zongren, you are so self-conscious, don't get it and don't cherish it, lose it and regret it." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"
"I have been as good to her as I have been to you from beginning to end, in my previous life, and in this life!" Xie Zongren's voice could be heard through the door of the private room, "Why don't you believe me? “
Believe it or not?
Yun Xiu sighed secretly, they can't go back anyway??
But I have to say that the news brought by Xie Zongren is not a bad thing.
The emperor is waiting for "three people to become tigers", there is Cui Shangshu in front of him, and now Hanlin Academy, as if he has completed two conditions, and he is the last one. The Qin family continued to be silent, only afraid that the third condition would be reached soon.
After dinner, Ling Xiao took a bath behind the screen, she helped him rub his back, and told him the news of "Zhuwen", "The news that Xie Yuma ventured into the palace and brought it out, I think it is true." “
"He's judging the situation." Ling Xiao snorted, "Knowing that the Qin family wouldn't believe his position, they came to us. “
There was a pause. He turned his head, half-truths and half-truths and temptations: "The surname Xie only talks about things in the palace?" Didn't say anything else? “
"What do you say?" Yun Xiu scooped a scoop of water and poured it on his back, sighing, "If I say serious, you will fry vinegar indiscriminately." “
Ling Xiao: "Tsk, I just look at serious things and don't care about him." “
Yun Xiu pinched the meat on his back: "Yes, yes, the little marquis is magnanimous." “
"The mouth is very hypocritical, but the body is very honest." Ling Xiao hissed. "If you pinch other people's flesh together, it won't hurt you."
"You brought it on yourself." Yun Xiu squeezed back without ambiguity, and said, "The news of the text is still pressed in the palace, and when it breaks out, the Qin family and we will be passive." “
"I know." Ling Xiao hadn't thought about it yet, "The news can reach our ears, the Qin family may not know, the old man and General Qin have been going back and forth privately, there should have been a reminder, I also sent a letter to Qin Ying, but they haven't moved for a long time, who knows what medicine is sold in the gourd." “
Yun Xiu hesitated: "But we don't know if we don't say it, what does the Qin family think?" Will we think that we are timid and afraid, and only seek self-protection at critical moments? “
"Okay, I'll go to the study in the front yard to talk to my father later," Ling Xiao turned his head and asked her, "Are you coming?" “
Yun Xiu smiled: "I'm a woman, so I won't get involved." “
Ling Xiao smiled: "The news was brought back by you, you can make it clear." Besides, I think you're quite bold, but it's a pity that you're a daughter. “
"Don't put a high hat on me," Yun Xiu shook the water in his hand, "You come out quickly after washing, I'll go make the bed first." “
Ling Xiao said okay, got out of the bath and changed into clean clothes and left the house.
Yun Xiu thought that he had been talking for a long time, and it was less than half a stick of incense, Ling Xiao came back in a hurry, and seeing that she hadn't slept, he breathed a sigh of relief first, and urged: "Now the old man has given you a task." “
As he spoke, he looked at the moment, "It's still early, let's go to the General's Mansion, you find Mrs. Wen and tell her the news, I won't go in, I'll wait for you in the carriage." “
Yun Xiu was stunned: "I still have a shallow relationship with Mrs. Wen, but you and General Qin are familiar with each other, why don't you go in together?" “
"I can't be exposed." Ling Xiao frowned and said, "The old man said that there are a lot of eyeliners in the city, it's hard to say which side of the force is, it's better to be cautious, it's not easy to be suspicious when the female relatives see each other, I went with you to protect you, and I have to think of a reason for the sudden visit, do you understand?" “
Yun Xiu nodded, his mind moved, "Let's go now, think on the way." “
Ling Xiao said to go.
The two of them didn't say anything on the road, Yun Xiu racked his brains to think about it, Ling Xiao observed the situation on the road through the gap in the car curtain, it was really as the old marquis said, there were indeed a lot of eyeliner, mixed in the crowd, and it really couldn't be seen if he didn't distinguish carefully.
"Have you figured it out?" When the carriage stopped, Ling Xiao asked a little uneasily.
"I've figured it out." Yun Xiu nodded and got out of the carriage alone.
The sky will be dark, the blue and purple sunset is about to disappear into the sky, the red lantern at the gate of the military mansion has been hung, the autumn wind blows the begonia red Su stream swinging back and forth, and the noisy joy looks strange and lonely at the door of the quiet mansion. It's a bit of a madness.
Yun Xiu tightened the mouth of Qiu Yi's clothes and slowly knocked on the beast head ring on the door.
knocked three times in a row, the door creaked open, and a small girl's face poked out, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?" “
Yun Xiu reported to his home, and then stuffed five copper plates over, and said in an anxious tone: "Be sure to pass on Mrs. Wen and say that I have something important to ask for." “
The little guy belched, said wait, and ran away.
The mother-in-law who came out again was to serve Mrs. Wen, and she gave a blessing to Yun Xiu and politely refused: "Grandma Ling, Mrs. Wen is accompanying the generals to have supper at this time, come tomorrow if there is anything." “
Yun Xiu guessed that Mrs. Wen deliberately avoided it, deliberately raised her voice, and blurted out a good reason: "Mom, my mother-in-law has a headache, and she doesn't get better after taking medicine, and she will be unconscious, and she is muttering Mrs. Wen in her mouth, I'm afraid, I'm afraid??"
As she spoke, she ripped off her handkerchief and tucked the corners of her eyes, "If it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't have bothered Madame here." “
Yun Xiu said something very carefully, and her mother-in-law's face changed slightly when she heard it, and she immediately responded: "Grandma is waiting." The servant told the lady to go. “
People went in a hurry, waited before and after, Yun Xiu heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and was guessing whether Mrs. Wen was coming, and sure enough, Mrs. Wen stepped out of the door, her eyes full of worry: "It's good, why is it not good, the doctor or the doctor you invited, what do you say?" “
"Come with me," Yun Xiu took Mrs. Wen's hand and walked to his carriage without saying anything, "It's too late, I'm afraid it's even worse." “
Mrs. Wen sighed twice and followed Yun Xiu into the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Xiu said, "Let's go."
The mother-in-law didn't have time to keep up, Mrs. Wen was slightly stunned when she saw Ling Xiao in the car, and quickly reacted and said slackly: "What kind of song is this?" “
"Madam, I have wronged you for a walk." Ling Xiao smiled embarrassedly and looked at Yun Xiu, "Xiu Xiu has something very important to say." “
Yun Xiu looked at Mrs. Wen and lowered her voice: "Madam, I'm afraid you also know that there are a lot of eyeliner in the city, and it is inconvenient for the little marquis and my father-in-law to show up, and it is not easy for me to attract attention as a female dependent." “
Mrs. Wen glanced at the two of them knowing this, and asked softly, "What happened?" “
Yun Xiu leaned into her ear, said it all over 1510, then straightened up, distanced herself, and said respectfully: "Madam, the news is true. “
Mrs. Wen was puzzled: "But why did Xie Horse put himself in danger?" “
Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Madam, it is about the harmonious relationship between the tenth princess and the concubine, I can't say anything more, but with my understanding of Xie Yuma, he will not reveal false news to me." “
Mrs. Wen has experienced storms and waves, and naturally she has seen a lot of things between men and women, Yun Xiu's expression is very vague, and looking at Ling Xiao's expression, she understands.
Xie is handsome and charming, and has some talent, and there are few love debts before marriage.
Besides, Yun Xiu has an excellent demeanor and outstanding appearance, so she must be a fair lady and gentleman, and it is normal to have a few more suitors.
"Well, since you are a vouch, I no longer doubt it," Mrs. Wen smiled, "you are trying to get me out, not just for this one thing, right?" “
"Mrs. Wen guessed it, and the virtuous nephew didn't beat around the bush." Ling Xiao clasped his fists and saluted, "First, please trouble Mrs. to bring a message to General Qin, and second, my father wants to ask General Jun what his plans are, so I might as well make it clear, and we can also prepare one or two." “
"Don't worry," Mrs. Wen still said with a smile, "Qin Ying is coming back soon, as for your news, I will tell the generals, and I will also trouble you to bring a message to the old marquis, and don't act rashly, everything is under control." “
Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay." “
The carriage drove all the way from the Jiangjun Mansion to Changchun Garden, Yun Xiu accompanied Mrs. Wen to go in for a while, and then came out together, when the old and the young looked extremely ugly, Yun Xiu kept wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, as if crying, and Mrs. Wen patted her hands from time to time, as if comforting.
The two talked for a long time, and Yun Xiu sent Mrs. Wen into the car, and after watching the carriage leave, she re-entered the garden.
After Ling Xiao sent Mrs. Wen back to the house, he went to Changchun Garden to pick up Yun Xiu.
"Fortunately, my mother-in-law slept with Brother Huan and Brother Fan." Yun Xiu breathed a sigh of relief in the carriage, "Mother Qiu is a clever person and knows how to reply." “
Ling Xiao hugged her in his arms, "It's hard for you to play such a play, but you cried quite like it just now, what do you say you are thinking about every day?" “
"Okay, there are no good words from your mouth," Yun Xiu leaned on his shoulder, a little tired, "I'll squint, and call me when it's time." “
Ling Xiao patted her and said okay.
When the carriage drove through the Houfu Hanging Flower Gate, it was already night.
As soon as the gate of the Ling Mansion was closed, a dark shadow flashed behind the tree trunk diagonally across the street.
***
The palace internal affairs office sent a sign for the concubines to sleep tonight, and the little eunuch held a plate of yellow rosewood, trembling and kneeling for a long time, and did not see Emperor Jingwen look up.
Wang Fu didn't know what to do, he was his apprentice in front of the palace, and the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office was very embarrassed and lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
After another tea time, Wang Fucai hurriedly rushed into the imperial study, sent away the apprentices, looked at the little eunuch with shrunken eyes, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards." “
Emperor Jingwen seemed to be waiting for him to come back, and with a bang, he gave a gesture of raising his hand, Wang Fu understood, how to bring in the concubine's brand and how to bring it out.
"Your Majesty, you don't recruit people today, the Empress Dowager Ming'er knows that she wants to scold the servants for not serving well."
"What's the news?" Emperor Jingwen was more concerned about the movements outside the palace.
Wang Fu: "There is movement in the Ling family. “
Emperor Jingwen: "Oh? “
Wang Fu continued: "There is news from the eyeliner, just an hour ago, the eldest grandmother of the Ling family went to the Jiangjun Mansion to find Mrs. Wen, and the two went to Changchun Garden, and they didn't stay long before sending Mrs. Wen back. “
Emperor Jingwen paused for a moment with the imperial pen in his hand and raised his head: "It's all women?" “
Wang Fu: "If you go back to the emperor, yes." “
Emperor Jingwen bowed his head again and reviewed the chapter: "What's the matter?" “
Wang Fu didn't dare to omit it: "The lord of Pingkang County has a headache. Sick and confused, she muttered Mrs. Wen in her mouth, the eldest grandmother was young and afraid of things, and she was afraid that she would be the last one to meet Mrs. Wen. “
"Carving insect skills," the corners of Emperor Jingwen's mouth raised slightly, and then fell, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look." “
"Your Majesty, the slave has already called someone from the Tai Hospital." Wang Fu speculated about the holy will, "The imperial doctor came back and said that the lord of Pingkang County took medicine and slept. “
Emperor Jingwen was skeptical: "Is it true?" “
Wang Fu hesitated for a moment: "Otherwise, Ming'er will call the imperial doctor to go again?" “
"No need," Emperor Jingwen slowly shook his head, as if thinking about something, "It's too active to care about the easy to startle the snake, let's do this first." “
Wang Fu belched and said, "The emperor has another matter." “
"Say."
"Commander Qin has already passed Jizhou, and it is estimated that Ming'er will be able to return to Beijing in the afternoon."
Wang Fu asked: "Why don't you block people at the city gate tomorrow?" See if he's really sick? “
"Don't worry," Emperor Jingwen opened the top batch of folds and nodded, "Take a look." “
Wang Fu didn't dare to make a mistake, glanced at it, was surprised, and hurriedly covered his mouth, knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave is reckless, please ask the emperor to surrender." “
"Get up and speak," Emperor Jing Wen didn't care, and only asked, "Did you see who played?" “
Wang Fu replied tremblingly: "The slave is clumsy, and he doesn't see it too clearly, it seems to be King Rui." “
King Rui is the sixteenth uncle of Emperor Jingwen, the little emperor is more than ten years old, and now he is thirty and five, he likes poetry and songs, everyone is literary and moly, and he has been idle for several years.
He sneered: "It's my sixteenth emperor uncle, you read that right. “
Wang Fu wondered: "King Rui has been traveling in the mountains and rivers for three or five years, ignoring the government and politics, why is it all of a sudden?" “
"Uncle Huang complained that the homeless people were in turmoil, so he couldn't play." Emperor Jingwen half-smiled and said, "Quietly return to Beijing/City and avoid all eyeline." I underestimate my little uncle. “
Wang Fu had other guesses: "Xingxu Rui Wang has been absent from Yanjing for too long, and the gatekeepers and eyeliners of the city tower don't know each other." “
There is no such possibility, Emperor Jingwen asked: "Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, is he here?" “
Wang Fu thought back for a moment: "Your Majesty, King Rui came that day, but he only went to the Empress Dowager's palace to sit for a while and then left the palace, and did not participate in the banquet. “
Emperor Jingwen sighed, there was no doubt, and the topic returned to the fold. "King Rui said that he met Commander Qin halfway, and when he saw that he looked sick, he asked one or two, and the fellow military doctor said that Yangguan was too cold."
"Rui Wang, this is ??" Wang Fu pondered, "Witness for Commander Qin?" “
Emperor Jingwen squinted at him: "You can see it, I can't see it?" “
Wang Fu nodded, "What the emperor said is that the slave is stupid. “
Emperor Jingwen was very flattering, and his face was slightly gloomy: "I remember that in the year before last, I promised to give the Xixing Palace on the outskirts of the city to King Rui. “
Wang Fu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, there is indeed such a thing, why did the emperor suddenly remember such a long time ago?" “
Emperor Jingwen narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: "My little uncle, I can't live in the palace, I want to crowd into the prince's mansion in the city to save money for me, and I am very happy." “
Wang Fu understood, and echoed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to the foolish opinion of the slaves, King Rui really has different intentions, isn't living in the city throwing himself into the net?" “
"Since he dares to enter the city, he will be fully prepared," Emperor Jingwen said, "but he has been away from the court all these years, and he wants to form a gang and cause trouble." “
After a pause, he looked at Wang Fu: "Just be optimistic, don't be too much." “
Wang Fu received the order and said yes.
