Chapter Thirty-Eight: Poolside Talk
The corner of Wu Rong's mouth raised a cold smile, raised his hand and spilled a puff of fish food, which immediately attracted many koi, just when Wu Rong thought they would be crazy to grab food, these koi fish actually sank to the bottom of the water one after another, and there was no tail left, and the fish food that should have been fought for was quietly floating on the surface of the water.
"How can this be ......" Wu Rong looked at the empty water in disbelief, since Zheng Dan came, she had been staring at it firmly, and she never left her eyes for a moment.
She was sure that Zheng Dan hadn't spilled anything, so why did those koi fish sink to the bottom for no reason?
Wu Rong didn't want to believe it, but the scene in front of him was real, not half false, this ...... What the hell is going on, Demon Law?
At that time, the face of the Queen Mother was not very good-looking, only the husband was full of joy, "Grandmother, you have seen it, the posture of the sinking fish is not a lie." ”
The Queen Mother smiled reluctantly, "The mourning family has seen it, it's really incredible." As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of a flute on the water, which was more and more beautiful.
Following the prestige, I saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes coming from the lotus bush by boat, a purple flute was horizontal to his lips, and the tail of the flute was decorated with a light golden wishful knot, and the sound of the flute came from here.
When the boat reached the edge of the pool, the last syllable was blown, the young man jumped off the boat, and after saluting the queen mother, he smiled at his husband and said: "A song "Xiangling" is given to Brother Wang, congratulations to Brother Wang for winning this beauty. As he spoke, his gaze swept over Zheng Danjiao's beautiful face, and his eyes were filled with deep amazement and ...... Pity.
This young man is Gongzishan, he went out the day before yesterday, so he didn't see Zheng Dan, but he heard someone talk about the sinking fish, and at that time it was just a rumor, and he never thought it was true.
Fu Cha smiled: "I didn't see you this morning, and I wonder where I went, it turned out that I was lazy here." ”
"It's a shame that today's brother is lazy, otherwise he won't be able to see this sunken fish wonder." While speaking, Gongzishan couldn't help but glance at Zheng Dan again, who was slightly red by him, his head lowered, and he didn't dare to look at him.
Yiguang glanced at the pool noodles that bubbled up from time to time, and said on his knees: "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness and release my beauty's grounding." ”
As soon as she said this, the husband also remembered, "Thank you, grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother was thinking about what excuse to use to continue to grounding Zheng Dan in the court, but she was unexpectedly broken by Yiguang's words, and she was angry in her heart, but she couldn't do it, after all, she did say it, so she had to say: "As a Yue girl, you should not have stepped into the palace, Gu Nian has saved the king's life, and the king has a deep affection for you, make an exception, you have to wait for the king, you must not have it in your heart, otherwise the mourning family will not be spared!" ”
Zheng Dan has always been timid, hearing her say this, her heart suddenly felt empty, I don't know what to do, or Yiguang pulled her, before she came back to her senses, "The concubine will follow the teachings of the Queen Mother, and she will live up to the king's affection." With these words, she looked at her husband and smiled, with affection.
This affection fell in Wu Rong's eyes, but he was so hateful that he almost vomited blood, and he clenched his hands hatefully.
The Queen Mother's eyes moved, and fell on Yiguang, "What's your name?" ”
Hearing her ask herself, Yiguang hurriedly curtsied and saluted, "Slave Yiguang, I've seen the Queen Mother." ”
"Yiguang ......" the Queen Mother slowly read it, and said in a cool voice: "Yesterday, you sent the soup to Lanyue Tower?" ”
"Yes." Before Yiguang's words fell, the Queen Mother suddenly became embarrassed and scolded: "You are so bold, you dare to make it difficult for Liu Meiren to get up on the couch, can you be guilty?" ”
Zheng Dan was shocked and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, Yiguang did not fall, in fact, it was ......"
Yiguang snatched the words and said: "It's the hot weather, which spoiled the soup and caused Liu Meiren to eat bad stomach." ”
Zheng Dan looked at Yiguang in surprise, and didn't understand why she wanted to take the blame on herself, obviously Liu Ji had a bad heart and was in the soup, they were just a tooth for a tooth.
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, and she said coldly: "So, this matter has nothing to do with you?" ”
"If the slave maid is more careful and finds out that the soup is spoiled in advance, Liu Meiren will not eat a bad stomach, so the slave and maid are still guilty."
"It's a bit backbone, and I don't blindly shirk it." Saying this, the Queen Mother said: "Since you know your mistake, just kneel here, and at this time tomorrow, you can get up." ”
"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness!" After Yiguang thanked her, Yiyan knelt by the pool, Zheng Dan wanted to intercede for her, but was stopped by Yiguang with his eyes, so he had to press the worry and anxiety in his heart and leave with his husband.
After they had gone far, the calm pool suddenly bubbled like boiling water, and then several heads popped out, panting heavily, their faces pale as paper, each holding a bamboo tube in their hands.
Yiguang was not surprised by this, and said, "Thank you Dazai-sama for your hard work." ”
The men nodded, swam to the other side, where there were already people waiting, put them into the clothes of the palace people they had prepared in the morning, and left quietly.
Yesterday, Wen Chong knew from the owner of Wangxian Tower that Wu Rong was suspicious of Shenyu, and he knew that there would be trouble, so he immediately went to tell Bo Yao; The latter was also very nervous when he learned that Wu Rong might lead the Queen Mother to Taihua Pool, so he arranged for someone to dive into the water with a thousand days of drunkenness early in the morning, and when Zheng Dan was there, he opened the bottle and made those koi swallow the wine and sink to the bottom.
As Bo Yao, it is easy to arrange a few people to enter the palace.
Although these people are good at breathless diving, they can't lurk for so long, so they brought a sealed bamboo tube in advance, and when they couldn't hold their breath, they took a breath of air in the bamboo tube, which barely lasted until the husband sent them away.
As the last rays of the sunset disappeared, the twilight was like a pair of huge wings, enveloping the entire Wu Palace, Taihua Pond, Yiguang knelt motionlessly, quietly like a statue.
I don't know how long it took, a long figure came to Yiguang's body and said in a cold voice: "You have been kneeling like this?" ”
Yiguang raised his head in surprise, it was none other than Fucha, who had changed into a gold-piercing robe, and he looked more and more handsome and bright in the moonlight, like a god. When he came back to his senses, Yiguang said in a dumb voice: "The order of the Queen Mother, the slaves and maids dare not disobey it." ”
Fu Chaxuan raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you tell the truth?" ”
Yiguang's eyebrows trembled, and he bowed his head and said, "The slave doesn't understand what the king means. ”
Fu Cha smiled indifferently, leaned over and sat down on the stone bench next to him, "Although the summer is hot, but it will not be stuffy at this point, the soup must be under the soup, you have just entered the palace, you don't understand everything, it is impossible to do this kind of thing, the only explanation is that someone wants to be unfavorable to Dan'er, and you will treat others in their own way, this king is right?" ”
"The king is wise." Yiguang didn't expect his husband's mind to be so transparent, and he deduced the truth of the matter with just a few words.
"Why don't you tell the truth to the Queen Mother?" Facing her husband's persistent questioning, Yiguang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it will be more troublesome after I say it; Besides, the king should understand that what the Queen Mother wants is never the truth. ”
The husband looked at Yiguang in surprise, obviously with such an ordinary face, but with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, it was really a little ...... In the wrong box.
For some reason, those eyes inexplicably reminded him of the woman he met by the stream, but it was strange that he had found it.
Fu Cha suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind and said with a smile: "You can see it, it's rare." After a pause, he said with interest: "There is one thing, this king is very curious, can you answer it for this king?" ”
"The king wants to ask, why is Liu Ji willing to take it even though he knows about it?"
The husband bowed his head and said, "Yes, how did you do it?" ”
"The reason why Liu Meiren doesn't like my beauty is because she is afraid of being robbed of the king's favor, so she can only let her drink it."
"This king?" The husband pointed at himself in surprise, "But this king has never done anything, and even this matter is only known today." ”
Yiguang smiled slightly, "There is no need to alarm the king, I just need to borrow your reputation." ”
The husband suddenly realized, stroked his palms and smiled: "This king understands, you are a fox and a fake tiger, forcing Liu Ji to eat the consequences." ”
"The slave maid is also forced to be helpless, the beauty was persecuted like this as soon as she entered the palace, if she doesn't do anything, I'm afraid she won't even be able to sleep peacefully in the future." Yiguang said casually, but it touched Fucha's heart, and muttered: "An Wenjue...... Even the king could not ask for it. ”
"What did you say, my lord?" The husband said it too lightly, and Yiguang couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing." The husband came back to his senses and said, "There are only you and me here, so you should get up and rest for a while, this king should not have seen it." ”
Yiguang shook his head and said: "The slave and maid still have to hold on, in case they are seen by the palace people passing by here and reach the ears of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that it will affect the king." ”
The husband's eyes moved, raised his hand to hook her chin, and said meaningfully: "You are not afraid of affecting this king, but of your beauty." ”
Yiguang smiled slightly, "It's all the same for slaves and maids. ”
"I can talk." Fucha snorted lightly, withdrew his hand and said a little angrily: "Since you are willing to kneel, just kneel, kneeling and breaking your leg is also your business." ”
Yiguang smiled, kneeling quietly, the night was silent, only the sound of summer insects chirping in the grass, in the end, tired, in a trance, the whole person fell forward, fortunately, the husband was quick to move, grabbed her, and teased: "Do you still say that you can hold on?" ”
Yiguang was embarrassed by what he said, and when she was thinking about how to answer, her body was suddenly pulled forward, and when she came back to her senses, she was already sitting next to her husband.
Yiguang was shocked, and was about to get up in a hurry, but was forcibly held down by his husband, "Sit down, it's so late, no one will come here." Besides, once grandmother sleeps, no one dares to disturb her, and Wu Rong is no exception. ”
Seeing him say this, Yiguang had no choice but to agree, and then said curiously: "The king said Wu Rong, but the girl who is with the Queen Mother today?" ”
The husband nodded, "She is the righteous daughter of her father, who was sent to the palace ten years ago, and until now, my grandmother likes her very much, like a granddaughter." ”
Yiguang brushed the wind-blown broken hair to his ears, and said with a smile: "What about the king?" ”
The husband said lightly: "I have been with each other for ten years, I like it, and this king has always treated her like a sister." ”
Yiguang said implicitly: "The slave and maid look at the look of the king of the girl, and she does not look like a brother and sister. ”
The husband was silent, of course he knew what Wu Rong was thinking, but when he came, he had no affection for men and women; Second, Wu Zixu is already in power, if he adds another identity as the ruler of the country, no one in this court can really restrain him, which he never wants to see.
"There is something unclear about the slave, can you ask?" Yiguang's words woke up Fucha, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?" ”
"The slaves and maidservants have heard that kings call themselves widows, but why does the king claim to be his own king?" The first time she met her husband, she found out about this problem and always thought it was strange.
The husband was silent for a moment and said: "Widow, widow, that is, the meaning of being alone, this king does not like it." ”
Although Fucha said it lightly, Yiguang still caught a trace of loneliness and fear from his words, it turned out to be ...... The king of Wu, who was crisscrossing the battlefield, was also afraid of loneliness and loneliness.
That night, Fucha and Yiguang talked a lot, and they did not leave until it was about to dawn; Even he didn't know why he had to talk so much to a servant girl, he just had an inexplicable urge to talk, as if he was ...... Confidants met, but it was clear that they were just meeting for the first time.
In the early morning, Zheng Dan came to the Taihua Pool and helped Yiguang, who had been kneeling for a whole day and a night, whose legs were already swollen; This is the result of her husband forcing her to sit in the middle of the night, otherwise it would be more serious.
Zheng Dan helped Yiguang all the way to Mingfeng Palace, and after the ban was lifted yesterday, the husband pointed to this palace for her to live in.
Mingfeng Hall is the most gorgeous palace in the harem, Wu Rong and Liu Ji and others have asked for it several times, but the husband has not agreed, and now it is pointed out to Zheng Dan who has just entered the palace, which shows the prosperity of grace.
Looking at the bruised knees under Yiguang's skirt, Zheng Dan cried while going up, and choked up: "One kneeling is so many hours, she is really ruthless." ”
"It's okay, my sister doesn't need to worry about me." Hearing Yiguang's words, Zheng Dan became more and more distressed, and reprimanded: "This knee is swollen like this, and he said that it is okay, is it possible to wait until the leg is broken?" It's only been a few days, and I've been injured twice, and you want me to die of distress, don't you? ”
Yiguang saw that there was no one around, and said softly: "Although I have suffered a little this time, I also found that King Wu is quite dissatisfied with Wu Zixu, it seems that what this Lord Xiangguo has done has approached King Wu's bottom line." ”
"How do you know?" In Zheng Dan's puzzled eyes, Yiguang carefully talked about the incident of meeting her husband last night, and when mentioning Wu Rong, she said: "This woman has always been unkind to her sister, and this time the matter of Taihuachi was made by her; It is really not good to keep such a person in the palace. ”
Zheng Dan said helplessly: "I also know this, but she is the righteous daughter of Wu Xiangguo, and she is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, where is our share of talking"
Yiguang smiled slightly, "Of course we can't, but King Wu can." ”
"King Wu......" Zheng Dan thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "You also said, how much affection does he have for Wu Rong, and how can he pull down his face and drive her out of the palace." ”
"Sister misunderstood, I didn't want to drive her out of the palace, but ......" Yiguang smiled with a smile, "Let her marry!" ”
