Chapter 139: Eternal Problems (II)
Qing Ruxu was a mess of crying and laughing and being satisfied, she couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so she wanted to divert the topic and asked: "You are often moving around the emperor, didn't he have suspicions?" ”
Jiang Rin saw that she was talking about him on the right and right, and refused to give up, saying, "Ah Xu, you have mine in your heart, right?" Why not admit it? No, it's not that you don't admit it, you're clearly running away from ......"
What he said was the Tao, obviously not a day or two of thinking, Qing Ruxu didn't expect his senses to be so keen, and he found himself deliberately avoiding him early on.
Qingru Xu was thinking about it, and Jiang Rin had already continued: "Don't deny it, I clearly feel that you have me in your heart, but I can't understand why you don't want to accept me." ”
Qing Ruxu had a feeling of being pushed to the edge of a cliff, but how could she explain the reason? Saying that she is reborn, she has already experienced these experiences? She herself thought it was ridiculous. "Don't ask...... For no reason, those are all delusions ......."
Jiang Rin fell silent and looked at her deeply.
Qing Ruxu felt his mood fluctuations fall all the way to the bottom, and hurriedly said, "I didn't disaccept you...... Didn't we just say yes before you left? ”
Jiang Rin's eyes lit up again, he stood up and came to Qing Ruxu's side, and Qing Ruxu also stood up. There was only one step between the two, and Jiang Rin looked down at her slightly, "For the people and things you love, you should fight with a halberd, and you are not afraid of anything." ”
Loved?
Qing Ruxu's mood had already calmed down, because this sentence made waves again.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she felt that she had been thinking wrong. The world events experienced in life are more distinct than the principles of black and white. The tranquility and propriety of each step seem to far outweigh the importance of the result, and the impatience and anxiety of the past are gradually abandoned.
In the previous life, there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and in this life, his heart took the initiative to come to her.
"There's one thing, you feel right, that thing makes me run away, hesitate, retreat, but it doesn't matter now."
Jiang Rin's mood brightened up in an instant, no matter what Qing Ruxu had in her heart before, she had already thought about it. The two have the same mind, so that they can walk through the mist under the moon together and go to the uncertainty. "With your words, I can rest assured to ask Mr.
"Hmm." Qing Ruxu nodded slightly.
Jiang Rin's breath was familiar and unfamiliar, Qing Ruxu's heart kept beating suddenly, cheerful and nervous, even her arms trembled, she pursed her lips and didn't dare to look up at Jiang Rin's gaze, her face was full of shyness.
Jiang Rin kept holding her hand and didn't let go, gently rubbing the back of her hand.
"He didn't doubt it, but he trusted me quite a bit."
Jiang Rin suddenly changed the topic, and Qing Ruxu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, he was answering her question just now.
"Probably because the emperor never knew that the imperial concubine was pregnant, of course he wouldn't think about it that way." Qing Ruxu raised his head and said softly: "As for his trust in you, it is probably the innate effect of the bloodline." Or maybe you're acting in a way that's what he wants. ”
Jiang Rin nodded, "I don't ask for much, it's good to be able to become a subordinate and share the worries of the king." ”
Qing Ruxu thought about Jiang Rin's actions in her past life and in this life, she was indeed helping the emperor clean up the shortcomings of the imperial court, but she didn't know anything about what happened after her death in her previous life, and she really didn't know if anything happened later.
"I'm afraid that the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop."
"You said Empress Chen?"
"Well, she won't give up easily on the matter of respecting the imperial concubine, in case the events of the year are exposed...... What my dad feared is about to come true. ”
Jiang Rin has a great grasp of Empress Chen's affairs, "The Chen family is not afraid, and Empress Chen is now busy dealing with Empress Liu's mother and daughter." ”
"But, what does the emperor mean?"
Jiang Rin shook his head, "Although I don't know what he plans to do, he must know everything about Chen and Liu. ”
"Well, that's right." Qing Ruxu thought of the task assigned by the cloak man, and felt a little irritable, the other party's so-called "reversal of the case", of course, was not to let the emperor know the truth, but to reveal it to the world, completely clear Liu Zhaoyi's charges, and eradicate Queen Chen's power.
I wonder if this is in line with the emperor's intentions? If it doesn't comply, will it damage the relationship between Jiang Rin and the emperor?
"What are you thinking?"
"Ah...... It's okay, I just remembered Princess Chonghua, she was also a blessing in disguise, and she was able to go back to Bixiao Palace and live with Liu Niangniang. ”
"Hmm." Jiang Rin responded, and suddenly said, "Do you remember the Lin family's box?" ”
Qing Ruxu nodded: "Rongguo Gong...... Oh, now it's the old Rongguo Gong, and he exists in the box of Hongxian Castle? ”
"yes, that's the one you gave me." Jiang Rin put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "You definitely can't think of what's in there." ”
The sky was already dark, and the dancing firelight on the candlestick had gilded a faint layer of brilliance on the two people in the room, Qing Ruxu raised his head slightly, looked at Jiang Rin's expression, and hesitated, "Inside...... What is it? ”
"It's a token." Jiang Rin took out a silverfish-like thing from his sleeve, half the size of a palm.
Qing Ruxu took it from his hand, and looked closely, this silverfish was very old and exquisite, and the position of the fish's eye was inlaid with a clear bead, which was shining under the reflection of the lamp. The tail is engraved with the word "Xue". "It's ...... The surname of the concubine's mother's family? ”
Jiang Rin nodded slightly: "My grandfather's family is indeed surnamed Xue, but there are no one left for a long time." I checked for a long time, and it is said that this whitebait was sent to the Lin family after my mother entered the palace, but it was not delivered to my mother. ”
"Maybe there is anyone else in your grandfather's family who wants to recognize the concubine?"
Jiang Rin shook his head, "If that's the case, the person who sent the thing could have taken the thing to the Lin family, and then passed the message to my mother through the Lin family, but the person who came sent this thing to the Lin family left without leaving a word." ”
"Why was this thing put in Hongxian Castle by Lin Shengyuan? How could it be in his hands? Does he know something? ”
Jiang Rin shook his head: "I thought that my mother's affairs had been clarified, but now it seems that there is still an inside story." ”
"Lin Shengyuan is a person from the Rongguo Mansion, you can't arrest him and interrogate him like a prisoner, if you want to find out what happened from him, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort......
"There is no urgency in this matter, at the moment, it is better to set your and my family affairs first."
Qingru Xu saw that he had a serious expression, as if he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, and glanced at him. "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?"
Jiang Rin snorted lightly: "Wherever you run, I will also arrest you back." ”
………………
In Bixiao Palace, Liu Zhaoyi coaxed Princess Chonghua and piled a strange-looking snowman in the courtyard.
Being able to return to her mother's side, Princess Chonghua was very happy, and she didn't want to leave the cold palace and return to the Xianju Palace.
Liu Zhaoyi added an arm to the snowman with a tree branch and asked, "Does Xiao'er like to live here with her mother, or do you like to live outside?" ”
Princess Chonghua did not hesitate: "Xiao'er likes to live with her mother!" ”
Liu Zhaoyi smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, when the old palace maid on the side asked Princess Chonghua, "What if Niangniang can also go to the Immortal Palace with Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”
Princess Chonghua raised her little face and said, "That's the best!" My mother can often see my father, eat cakes, and wear beautiful clothes......"
Liu Zhaoyi's face gradually turned cold.
The old palace maid said: "Niangniang, what Her Royal Highness the princess said is the truth. ”
"I'm telling the truth." Liu Zhaoyi glanced at her and said, "There's nothing wrong with the cold palace, on the contrary, it's much easier to stay here than outside." ”
She can't get out, and trouble can't get in.
The old palace maid pulled the folds on her face and smiled: "Niangniang's words are also reasonable, but if Niangniang lives here, it is just not time." After all, Queen Chen has a day when the dog jumps off the wall, and this cold palace is also under the jurisdiction of the harem, and this palace wall can't stop the queen's anger. According to the slave maid, before that day came, the mother should go out and face those who will have to face sooner or later. ”
Liu Zhaoyi was silent for a long time and did not say a word.
Yang De'an, who was beside Emperor Zhaoren, came. "The old slave asked Liu Niangniang to say goodbye."
"No courtesy." Recently, Yang De'an has appeared more often, even more than she saw when she was the queen.
Yang Dean smiled warmly and said, "The emperor ordered the old slave to pick up Her Royal Highness the princess and go to the Longevity Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for dinner." ”
Liu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, the Queen Mother wants to see Xiao'er, why is Yang Dean coming to pick it up? When Princess Chonghua on the side heard this, she immediately threw aside the snowman and jumped over: "Imperial grandmother looking for me? Mother-in-law going? ”
Yang De'an's smile was a little embarrassed, Liu Zhaoyi didn't want to embarrass him, so he said to Princess Chonghua: "If your mother doesn't go, Xiao'er will go by herself, and then I'll go back to my mother." ”
This was said to Yang De'an, Yang De'an was very eye-catching, and immediately said: "Niangniang, don't worry, when the old slave is set to send Her Royal Highness the princess back to Niangniang." ”
Liu Zhaoyi nodded, his bright eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was still in charge of Houyin many years ago, and his momentum was noble. She took her cloak and tied it to Princess Chonghua, "Go ahead." ”
Princess Chonghua nodded obediently and followed Yang De'an.
Liu Zhaoyi looked at the little back and was stunned, and the old palace maid said in a timely manner: "The princess is too young, and whoever can't protect her will take her life with a finger." ”
Liu Zhaoyi gritted the root of his teeth, and his fists slowly tightened. She knew that the other party was not alarmist, and she was still disgusted with her chasing after her ass and nagging, "Take care of yourself!" Maybe one day someone will find out who you are and pull you out and cut off your head! ”
The old palace maid was noncommittal, "The old slave is old, and many prosperity in this world are like a cloud of smoke, so it's not so regrettable." If you die, there will be someone who will take over the old slave to serve the mother. But Her Royal Highness the princess is different, the seedlings that have just sprouted are really a pity to fold. ”
Liu Zhaoyi glared at her for a moment, "I know what I should do, I don't need you to point fingers and keep your mouth shut." ”
"It's good that the mother knows, the old slave retreats." The old palace maid smiled, and disappeared in the shadows of the palace.
