Chapter 803: A Warning
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu returned to Qingliang Hall from Changqiu Palace and summoned Hua Feiyan again. After Hua Feiyan arrived, Liu Xiu asked, "Feiyan, are you sure that Yun Niang and Li Xiu'e have nothing to do with witchcraft?" ”
Hua Feiyan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xiu asked again: "Who do you think did this?" ”
Hua Feiyan glanced at Liu Xiu, shook his head and said, "Without real evidence, Feiyan doesn't dare to talk nonsense." After a pause, she said faintly: "It's just that in recent times, strange things have happened in the palace, which is really suspicious. ”
The implication is that the palace has always been peaceful in the past, but recently, especially after Xi Cheying entered the palace, the palace has not stopped.
Liu Xiu could understand Hua Feiyan's words, squinted his eyes, and was silent. After a long time, he asked, "What does Feiyan plan to do with Yun Niang and Li Xiu'e?" ”
Hua Feiyan said: "Please make a decision to your majesty." ”
"I'm asking what you mean."
Hua Feiyan thought for a while and said: "Li Xiu'e instigated Gong E to burn incense in the imperial garden, and she was punished for twenty months as a cane. Yun Niang burned incense in the imperial garden, committing a taboo in the palace, and Fei Yan thought that he should be expelled from the palace. ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Just do it according to the meaning of non-smoke!" ”
Relatively speaking, Hua Feiyan's handling method is still relatively gentle, and for Yun Niang and Li Xiu'e, one is expelled from the palace, and the other is beaten with twenty canes, which can be regarded as extraordinarily generous.
After dealing with the affairs of Yun Niang and Li Xiu'e, Hua Feiyan retired, and Liu Xiu also left the Qingliang Palace and went to the Lecheng Palace in Xi Cheying.
It was rare for Liu Xiu to come to Lecheng Palace in person, and when Xi Cheying heard the news, he immediately went out of the main hall and greeted Liu Xiu in the courtyard.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Xi Cheying saluted Liu Xiufu.
Liu Xiu walked up to Xi Cheying, stood still, looked at Xi Cheying, who maintained a blessed posture, and didn't speak for a long time.
Hua Feiyan suspected that the drugs in Yin Lihua's diet, as well as the framing of Yun Niang's witchcraft to harm Liu Fu, were all done by Xi Cheying, and Liu Xiu was also wondering if there was such a possibility. You must know that when someone was secretly drugged in Yin Lihua's diet, Xi Cheying had just entered the palace, and according to Pi Tong's diagnosis, Yin Lihua took the cold medicine for contraception, not for a day or two, nor for a month or two, but to
It's less than half a year.
At that time, Xi Cheying was not in the palace at all! This is also the reason why Liu Xiu has never suspected Xi Cheying.
But after thinking about it, with Xi Cheying's ability, even if she is not in the palace, she is fully capable of doing these things.
The reason why the mother who committed the crime secretly drugged Yin Lihua's diet was because her family was threatened and lured, and she didn't need to enter the palace to do this kind of thing.
If all this is really done by Xi Cheying, then this woman is too terrible.
She was able to secretly carry out the layout in the half year before entering the palace, clearing the obstacles for her future entry into the palace, the depth of her scheming, and the terrifying city government, it is really chilling.
Is the brook shadow so scary? The answer is yes.
Looking at what she has done before, which one is not incredible? infiltrated the National Teacher's Mansion, so that the scheming Liu Xin fell in love with her, exposed the rebellion in advance, and was forced to death by Wang Mang.
After that, she incredibly ran to Shi Fu, became Shi Luo's personal maid, followed Shi Luo, and entered the palace together, when Chang'an was captured and Wang Mang was killed, she was able to take Shi Luo out and escape from the palace.
Recently, she went to Yuyang to buy the house slave around Peng Pet, and got rid of Peng Pet in one fell swoop, and the house slave who was bought by her finally failed to escape her poisonous hands and was poisoned by her.
It can be said that among the women Liu Xiu knows, Xi Cheying is definitely the woman with the deepest feelings, the most hated means, and the most poisonous thoughts in the city.
At this time, Liu Xiu looked at Xi Cheying, who looked like a little woman, respectfully giving gifts to herself, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were flickering.
Liu Xiu didn't speak, Xi Cheying didn't dare to get up, and the air on the scene seemed to be about to freeze.
Under this invisible pressure, ordinary people can't stand it, but Xi Cheying seems to be fine, she slowly raised her head, looked at Liu Xiu in confusion, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty?" ”
"Let's get flat!" Liu Xiu said this, walked over from Xi Cheying's side with his hands behind his back. Speaking of which, Liu Xiu went to Lecheng Palace for the second time this time, and when he came for the first time, he just looked at it.
Entering the main hall, the layout inside is very elegant, and the incense burner exudes a faint fragrance, which is no different from the faint fragrance on Xi Cheying's body.
Liu Xiu walked around the main hall and saw a row of curtains hanging in the main hall, he opened it casually and looked inside, inside was a boxy bathroom, and there was a huge bath in the center of the bathroom, which was filled with warm water.
"Why is Your Majesty so idle today and came to the concubine's Lecheng Palace?" Xi Cheying's soft voice came from behind Liu Xiu.
He turned around, looked at Xi Cheying, and said, "I happened to be passing by here just now, so I came in to have a look." As he spoke, he put down the curtain and asked, "Che Ying is still comfortable living in the palace during this time?" ”
Xi Cheying smiled: "Your Majesty takes good care of your concubines, how can your concubines be uncomfortable?" ”
As she spoke, she poured a cup of tea, handed it to Liu Xiu, and continued: "If Your Majesty can often come to Lecheng Palace and talk to the concubines, the concubines will have no regrets. ”
What she said was no longer a hint, but an explicit. Liu Xiu smiled indifferently, took the tea handed over by Xi Cheying, and took a sip.
The tea is sweet and fragrant, and it is evocative after the mouth. Liu Xiu took the teacup and glanced at Xi Cheying again, this woman even knew her tea drinking preferences clearly.
But after thinking about it, I don't think it's strange, Xi Cheying is Xu Xiling's senior sister after all, through Xu Xiling, isn't it easy to find out your preferences?
He couldn't help but take another sip of tea, then put down the cup and said, "Recently, the equipment of witchcraft was found in the palace, can Che Ying hear about it?" ”
Xi Cheying nodded and said, "Such a big thing has already been rumored in the palace, how can the concubines not know?" ”
Liu Xiu asked casually, "Who does Che Ying think did it?" ”
Xi Cheying was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, how can the concubine know who did it?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "The incident happened in the West Palace, doesn't Che Ying think that the West Palace did it?" ”
Xi Cheying said: "Yin nobles have always been idle and benevolent, how could they do anything to harm people with witchcraft? The concubine thought that someone must be jealous of the yin nobles who had won the holy favor alone, and secretly framed them! ”
Liu Xiu didn't pause for a moment, and asked, "So Che Ying thinks, who will frame the Yin noble?" Xi Cheying said helplessly: "Your Majesty asked the concubine about this matter, but it is really difficult for the concubine, the concubine has just entered the palace, and she is not familiar with everything in the palace, and she doesn't even know who has had a gap with the Yin nobles, and has a grudge.
And how to tell who framed the Yin noble? ”
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Since Cheying entered the palace, a lot of things have really happened in the palace!" ”
Xi Cheying's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees and said, "Your Majesty thinks that the concubine is ...... The concubine is a disaster star, and after entering the palace, she disturbed the peace of the palace? Looking at Xi Cheying, who was kneeling in front of him, sincerely frightened, Liu Xiu almost laughed. He has always been very good at perceiving people's hearts, but for the woman Xi Cheying, he can't see what she is thinking at all, there seems to be one around her body
A cloud of fog shrouded her in it, making it difficult to find. Liu Xiu stared intently at Xi Cheying, who knelt motionless on the ground, and the two of them seemed to be frozen, and the air pressure in the hall also plummeted. Liu Xiu came to Lecheng Palace this time, not to expose Xi Cheying, and neither did he
The evidence can prove that Xi Cheying did all this, and even he is not 100% sure that Xi Cheying is the mastermind behind the scenes.
The main purpose of his visit was to warn her. Regardless of whether she did these things or not, he hoped that Xi Cheying could keep to herself in his palace and not play tricks on her wrists.
Liu Xiu stared at Xi Cheying, deliberately did not speak, creating low air pressure and putting pressure on Xi Cheying.
But I have to say that Liu Xiu met an opponent this time, Xi Cheying slowly raised his head, met Liu Xiu's fierce gaze, his eyes were confused, and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, Your Majesty will have dinner in Lecheng Palace today!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu sighed helplessly. Xi Cheying's Tai Chi can be described as a thousand catties in four or two, instantly dissolving Liu Xiu's pressure into invisibility.
He pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll eat here at Che Ying at noon." ”
When Xi Cheying heard this, she smiled happily, and immediately explained to the housekeeper and went to prepare lunch, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute, the concubine will go to cleanse herself." As she spoke, she stepped into the bathroom.
Having to take a bath before eating, this should be one of Xi Cheying's quirks, and Liu Xiu is no stranger to it. When he went to Hebei to be the governor, he spent some time with Xi Cheying, and knew that Xi Cheying had a very serious cleanliness habit, but the conditions were limited at that time, and Xi Cheying couldn't be clean if she wanted to, which was why she took Shi Luo and left Liu Xiu early
One of the reasons.
Watching Xi Cheying walk into the bath room, Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled, Xi Cheying's habits have not changed over the years!
Between the main hall and the bathroom, there is only a thin curtain separating them, and Liu Xiu can hear the sound of the wide clothes untying inside, and even through the curtain, he can vaguely see the concave and convex outlines in it.
Without Xi Cheying present, Liu Xiu's sitting posture became much more casual, one leg bent, one leg straightened, leaning back, one hand supported on the collapse, holding a teacup in the other hand to drink tea, and asked, "What disease does Mrs. Shi suffer?" ”
There was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and Xi Cheying said: "The concubine has already told Your Majesty that Mrs. Shi is depressed. ”
Liu Xiu sighed and said, "It's also a pitiful person." ”
Xi Cheying corrected: "It's Wang Mang who harms people a lot. ”
Liu Xiu said: "If Shi Luo doesn't enter the palace, she will be executed like her family." ”
Xi Cheying said: "If Wang Mang doesn't choose Mrs. Shi to enter the palace, why will the Shi family be wiped out?" ”
That's right. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I always thought that Che Ying was a hard-hearted person, but I didn't expect that Che Ying had a deep affection for Mrs. Shi. ”
When Chang'an was broken, Xi Cheying had every chance to escape alone, but she took Shi Luo's oil bottle with her, and took a huge risk to protect Shi Luo and flee together, which is really different from Xi Cheying's usual behavior.
There was silence in the bath room for a while, and then the faint voice of Xi Cheying came out: "It's not that Cheying is ruthless, but there are very few people who are sincere to Cheying." ”
Liu Xiu blinked and was silent.
From Xi Cheying's words, he heard loneliness and loneliness. At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the bathhouse, Liu Xiu's body was shocked, and he subconsciously stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
"His Majesty came suddenly, Che Ying was so nervous that he forgot to bring a bath towel."
Hearing this, Liu Xiu smiled dumbly, shook his head, he looked around, and found that the maids in the hall had withdrawn at some point, and even Zhang Kun, who was supposed to be guarding the door of the hall, didn't know where he had gone. He was about to summon someone in, and Xi Cheying asked, "Can you bother Your Majesty and hand the bath towel to your concubine?" ”
