Chapter 52: The Queen Mother summons
At this moment, Li Shuangxi was on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn diagonally opposite Prince Yu's Mansion, peeking at Prince Yu's Mansion through a crack in the open window, every move in front of the door.
As soon as he returned to the inn where he had stayed last night, he packed his luggage, and then settled the account with the shopkeeper, and made up a lie, saying that he had something urgent to go overnight, and then went straight to the current inn. On the way back, he had already observed, and the second floor of this inn was just right to see everything in front of Prince Yu's mansion.
Someone came to the stack late at night, and the shopkeeper was really happy, and he didn't ask anything, and directly asked Xiao Er to take him upstairs. I learned from Xiao Er's mouth, and I don't know if it was because it was opened opposite Prince Yu's mansion, and the evil spirit was too heavy? The number of visitors to this inn has never been too high - maybe today's Han people don't want to see the people on the opposite side all day long.
The room was very clean, the door was closed, and Li Shuangxi carefully took out the white rainbow knife wrapped in a white cloth. He didn't know why he took this Tazawa knife with him? He just felt that he should take something away from Tasawa so that he could be jealous of himself so that he could keep his promise.
Under the faint light, the white rainbow knife is crescent-shaped, which is different from the Han people's broadsword, and the blade is slightly slender, giving people the feeling of 'like a knife but not a knife, like a sword not a sword.' Turning over the blade of the knife, there was a line of big characters engraved on the knife body: 'This knife once killed the first loyal minister'! Li Shuangxi's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the knife to the ground. It turned out that his father-in-law, Shi Kefa, died tragically under this white rainbow knife!
Li Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, and quickly wrapped the knife again, this knife must not be seen by Shi Feixue, if she saw it, she would definitely be sad and unable to help herself.
Thinking of Shi Feixue, he was worried, he couldn't trust Duoze's promise, so he had to find a place to be on guard at all times.
Early in the morning, I looked at the large number of female dependents sent out from Prince Yu's mansion, but fortunately I didn't see Shi Feixue and Xia Chun. When he was secretly rejoicing, Azig appeared with Dolgon, and Li Shuangxi's heart rose to his throat, this Dorze is not ready to keep his promise, if that's the case, he will use Dorze's white rainbow knife to cut off his head.
Before Dolgon came out, a large number of people from the palace came on the street, and a woman dressed in grace and luxury came out of the eight-carried sedan chair and was supported by two palace maids into the palace. Looking at the appearance of that woman, at least she is also a figure like the emperor's concubine.
Li Shuangxi's eyes widened and his ears pricked up, he desperately wanted to know everything in the Doze Mansion. It's a pity that the courtyard wall of Prince Yu's mansion is too high, and he can't see the scene in the palace at all.
Not long after the woman entered, Azig and Dolgon walked out stupidly, looking at their appearance, they seemed to be unwilling, and they looked back while walking, Azig's mouth was full of words, and Li Shuangxi vaguely heard that he seemed to be cursing someone.
It seems that although these three brothers were born to the same mother, in fact, they are just 'plastic flower-style' feelings - on the surface, they seem to be peaceful, but in fact, the feelings have long since changed. ’
Dolgon's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word, and stepped directly onto the horse led by the sergeant, ignoring Azig's constant rambling behind him, and walked away. With his flamboyant character, this greatly surprised Li Shuangxi. 'It seems that this woman's origin is very unusual,' Li Shuangxi said secretly in his heart.
I don't know how long it took, but finally Tazawa walked out respectfully in front of him, and behind him was the woman who had just entered. Further behind are two familiar women, it is Shi Feixue and Xia Chun!
"Who is this woman? Where is she going to take Shi Feixue's master and servant? Li Shuangxi was about to look more closely, when there was a knock on the door.
"Li Gongzi, have you slept well? There are people in the palace who want to see you. ”
"People in the palace?" Xiao Er's voice outside the door made Li Shuangxi instantly alert.
He opened the door a crack, and saw a young eunuch following behind the little second who nodded his head.
Seemingly in no danger, Li Shuangxi slowly opened the door.
"Childe, this father-in-law must see you," Xiao Er said embarrassedly.
"Is this Li Gongzi?"
"Exactly down there." Li Shuangxi saw the flattering smile on his father-in-law's face, and seemed to have the intention of flattering him.
"Empress Xiaozhuang ordered me to take you into the palace to meet her." When Xiao Er heard the queen's name, he looked at Li Shuangxi with wide eyes, and couldn't see that the guest who had just moved in last night would still be the guest of the current queen!
"Empress Xiaozhuang?"
"Yes, Niangniang just came out of Prince Yu's mansion, and now she has returned to the palace to wait for you." The little eunuch said respectfully, in fact, he didn't know how this inconspicuous young man could be favored by the queen who was above the top.
"Father-in-law, lead the way." As soon as he heard that it was the woman who had just taken away Shi Feixue from Prince Yu's mansion, Li Shuangxi replied without hesitation, he also wanted to know why Empress Xiaozhuang wanted to take Shi Feixue away?
Entering the palace again, Li Shuangxi had mixed feelings, and the scene of the last 'killing' was still vivid. At that time, there was a lot of high spirits, but now it has become a world full of people.
"The Queen Mother is already waiting for you in Cining Palace, please come with me." Under the leadership of the little eunuch all the way, Li Shuangxi finally met the woman who took away Shi Feixue.
At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was sitting on top of Fengluan waiting for him.
"I haven't seen the Queen Mother yet." The little eunuch saw that Li Shuangxi didn't mean to kneel at all, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Excuse me." How could Li Shuangxi, as the 'prince' of Dashun, kneel down to the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty? Fortunately, the clever Xiaozhuang resolved this embarrassment.
"Give a seat."
"No need." Li Shuangxi neither wanted to kneel, nor did he want to be 'given a seat'. ’
Xiaozhuang was stunned for a moment, the young man in front of him seemed to have a great grudge against the Qing Dynasty, who was he?
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang chuckled, she had seen too many groveling Han people, but she had some appreciation for Li Shuangxi.
"I don't know why the Queen Mother called me?" Li Shuangxi was anxious to know the purpose of this woman's call, so he asked straight to the point.
"You all stand down," the queen of filial piety waved to the palace maids and eunuchs in the house.
"The Queen Mother?" The little eunuch waited until the end, and it seemed that he was the queen mother's henchman.
"You go out too." The little eunuch looked up at the Queen Mother suspiciously, opened his mouth, and didn't dare to ask more, so he slowly retreated and closed the door.
