Chapter 61: The Alliance
Ling Jun said: "Don't worry, they won't be in danger for the time being." ”
Zhiying nodded, along the way, she also somewhat understood that the methods of those people were nothing more than coercion. So she didn't worry too much about the safety of her classmates, but she was mostly angry and puzzled. After calming down, she realized that this time she was facing the emperor, and she couldn't act rashly, otherwise there would be a catastrophe. Just when she wanted to say something more, Ling Jun suddenly shouted: "Come out!"
The garden is full of trees and leaves, and it is a good place for Tibetans, and their conversation may be overheard word for word. However, unexpectedly, the man did not run away as a thief, but stood up generously.
"Li Xin, how could it be you?" Zhiying exclaimed in surprise.
"And me. Another voice said coquettishly.
"Why are you here?"
He Lingjiao smiled: "We also want to ask why you are here." ”
Well, the calculation turned out to be a confused account, and Zhiying had to say: "This matter is a long story." ”
Since it's a long story, let's talk slowly, and the four of them simply went back to their residence and talked with candles.
"It's so shameless to have such a thing!" He Ling couldn't help but scold angrily after listening to the ins and outs of the matter.
Li Xin was born in a famous family, and he was much calmer than her, although he didn't agree with it, he still persuaded: "This is the palace, be cautious." ”
"I know that you humans have so many rules, what 'the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die', the knife will be put on your neck, and you don't resist and wait to be cut off, isn't it a brain disease. He Ling has always scoffed at these.
Li Xin couldn't explain it to her clearly for a while, so he simply didn't answer, and He Ling said to Zhiying: "What are you going to do?"
What should I do? Zhiying also wanted to know what to do, but she couldn't think of a good way for a while.
"The most urgent thing is to find the whereabouts of the disciples and rescue them. Zhijie said with a depressed face. It's a shame that he still has the face to participate in the Chongyang Banquet, and he didn't even notice that his junior brothers were arrested, this senior brother was really a failure.
No one is harsh on the discipline, because he has a pure temperament, where can he think of these filthy things, with a heart or not, no one can prevent it.
"It seems that this matter can only be done by Concubine An and Nanming. Zhiying said suddenly. A concubine and a guard are all acquaintances in the palace, and they are much better at doing things than a few of them. Through analysis, they believe that a group of fellow disciples are still in the palace, and as for the specific location, they have to find out slowly.
"In this way, tomorrow Ling Jun and I will go to the Lingxi Hall to find Concubine An and Nan Ming first, and ask them to help pay attention, and the rest of the things will be discussed in the long run when we come back. Zhi Ying decided.
Late at night, the palace gate was locked, and Li Xin and He Ling simply stayed in the palace. Zhiying and their place is large, and it is not a problem to have two rooms, and several people are tired after a busy day, so they go to sleep separately.
The next day, Zhiying and Lingjun came to the Lingxi Palace, and Nanming was on duty as usual. Zhiying unceremoniously called Nanming, Nanming dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to swallow his anger and follow behind Zhiying.
Entering the Lingxi Palace, Concubine An was embroidering for the first time. She does not embroider mandarin ducks playing in the water, nor does she embroider splendid peonies, but embroiders a small bridge and flowing water. It can be seen that her embroidery is good, although she is a halfway monk to do everyone's show, but she has learned everything, as long as she does not deliberately distinguish, it is still very bluffing.
When Concubine An saw the two of them, she smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the national teacher yet." Now the two of them, one is the national teacher and the other is the county lord, which is really a good match made in heaven. ”
Zhiying was in no mood to quarrel with her, but Ling Jun replied with a smile: "Niangniang praised it falsely, not as good as Niangniang in case." Concubine An pretended not to hear Ling Jun's words, lowered her head and continued to embroider. Nan Ming couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he stood aside silently.
After a cup of tea, Concubine An put away the needle and asked idly, "Is there something you have come here for today?"
Zhiying gave her a "god-like" look and said, "Do you see something?"
Concubine An shook her head, "Intuitively, if you stay in the palace for a long time, you will always smell something unusual." ”
"We have been detained by His Majesty. ”
"Huh, what do you say?"
Zhiying told the matter again, and Concubine An didn't say anything after hearing it, and seemed to be accustomed to all this.
Displeased with her reaction, Zhiying poked her arm with her finger, "Say something." Concubine An still didn't speak. Holding the Ying Qi knot, He Ling still knows that a fox is uneven, and she still takes Concubine An as her own.
"What do you want me to say, it's the most ruthless emperor's family, don't say that you are just the name of a county lord, even his own niece, and you can use it correctly. I thought I was the stupidest in the harem, but I didn't think that I would be at the bottom of you now. Concubine An sighed.
"When has this been, you haven't forgotten to hurt me. "Holding profit is simply speechless.
"When, how I don't know when. Concubine An looked indifferent, "Say, what do you want me to do?"
"How did you know I wanted your help?"
"Otherwise, could it be that you are looking for me to drink tea? A large group of fellow disciples are missing, can you still drink this tea?" Concubine An hit the nail on the head.
Zhiying touched her nose and admitted that she had asked a nonsense, but still said: "Since you have said this, then you are welcome, I want to ask you to help find the whereabouts of my fellow disciples." ”
"Are you sure they're still in the palace?"
"Yes, we thought about it and felt that His Majesty was most likely to hide people in the palace. If he is suspicious enough to use this method to force us to comply, how can he trust places outside the palace, not to mention that there are several places in the world that are more tightly guarded than the palace?"
Yes, Concubine An also agrees with Zhiying's point of view, the imperial palace is indeed a good place for Tibetans, everything here is under the control of the emperor, and the slightest disturbance cannot escape his eyes.
"Niangniang think twice!" Nan Ming saw that Concubine An's mind was active, and he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him for fear of causing a catastrophe. She didn't know what he wanted, anyway, he had already made up his mind to protect her for the rest of his life, but he couldn't watch her put his own safety at risk. Engaging in small actions under the emperor's nose, do you really not want to live?
"What am I going to do, can you put your beak in it? By the way, I didn't call you, how did you get in, it's really getting more and more unruly. Concubine An blamed.
Seeing that Concubine An finally noticed this, Zhiying said with a smile: "I think it was the Southern Guards who were eager to protect the master, so he lost his sense of proportion, so don't blame him." ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Nan Ming was angry, and he didn't care about humility, he just wanted to shut up Zhiying. He was angry and angry, and he only felt that he had taken Concubine An crookedly. Originally, Concubine An just complained about nothing, sighed with emotion, and the days were still gone, but since Zhiying came, she kept encouraging her, making her ambitious, always wanting to go outside, and what was even more hateful was that she broke his mind, and mentioned it in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that she wouldn't know. How could there be such a person, Nan Ming was puzzled.
Seeing Nan Ming so excited, Concubine An felt strange, and she didn't care about training him, she didn't know what she thought, and asked tentatively, "Are you really worried about me?"
"Yes. Nan Ming blurted out without thinking, and only after saying did he react, and quickly explained: "Niangniang, I'm not..."
"That's fine. Concubine An interrupted him, "Since you are loyal, I will trust you once." Although I am not what I used to be, but I have little actual combat experience, it is inevitable to suffer losses if I really start, from now on, you will be responsible for the safety of this concubine, and I want you to be my personal guard. ”
Nan Ming was speechless, he couldn't refuse Concubine An's request, and even felt that it was exactly what he wanted. He thought about Mao Sui recommending himself, but he was worried that Concubine An would refuse, and now that she took the initiative, does it mean that she trusts him more than ordinary guards?
"Obey orders!" Nan Ming knelt on one knee, and he secretly swore that he must protect Concubine An thoroughly.
Zhiying smiled inexplicably on the side, Ling Jun looked at her, and then looked at Concubine An and Nanming, as if she had an understanding.
"In that case, then Nanming, this concubine ordered you and me to search for the whereabouts of the Dao Chiefs of Biyou Mountain, and there must be no mistake. Concubine An said. When she doesn't laugh, she really has the majesty of an imperial concubine.
"It's... Niangniang," Nan Ming didn't expect that she still decided to help Zhiying, but when she said it, there was no reason to take it back, so she stubbornly said: "Obey orders." ”
Zhiying nodded secretly, Concubine An is really a little smart. She is a concubine, except for the movement on the surface, other places are somewhat inconvenient, plus Nanming is different, the guards, where to go, there is more or less to say, after all, they are responsible for guarding the palace, as long as they are low-key enough, the opportunity is still very great.
"However, if you want my help, you must also promise me one condition. Concubine An's words changed, and there was some meaning of equivalent exchange.
Zhiying was afraid that she would regret it, so she hurriedly said: "You said that as long as we can do it, we will never refuse." ”
"That is, as soon as the matter is over, you will take me out of the palace. ”
This requirement... Zhiying will not refuse, she had originally fought this idea, but she was the person behind the search for the resurrection of Concubine An at that time. Now that she has brought it up herself, she is in the middle of it, and the two hit it off and have no worries.
Nan Ming didn't expect Concubine An to dare to do this, and he was horrified. He thought about persuading Concubine An again, but he also knew that he was soft-spoken, she would not listen, and he knew that she was very unhappy in the palace, thinking about it left and right, he felt that leaving the palace was not a bad thing.
"Nanming, I'm leaving, what are your plans?" asked Concubine An, no joy or anger on her face.
Nan Ming couldn't tell what she meant by asking, so he replied in a decent manner: "The lowly position is the mother's person, and everything is up to the mother." ”
Concubine An nodded, "Well, since you are my personal guard, naturally where I am and where you are, I will take you with me, and I will not treat you badly in the future." What she said was awe-inspiring, but what she thought in her heart was that she must not let him stay alone in the palace. Originally, it was just his own decision to go or stay, but he got involved by mistake, and Concubine An asked herself if she couldn't do anything to kill people, but she couldn't let him talk nonsense in the palace. He knows about this, and now he even knows that she is going to leave the palace, if someone finds him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not leak everything, so it is safest to stay by his side and monitor.
Nan Ming didn't have so many twists and turns, he only knew that Concubine An promised to take him out of the palace with him, and the joy in his heart was indescribable. He never had the luxury of living in the palace with her, he just wanted to guard her in the palace for the rest of her life, and now things are even better than he expected, how can he not feel happy?
For this result, the profit is also very satisfied. She planned to create opportunities for Concubine An and Nanming, although this move was shocking, but the harem was already selfish, and at best, it was just another affair. Now that they are tied together because of one thing, why don't they have a chance to get close? Although Nanming now has many opinions on Zhiying, one day, he will thank Zhiying.
At this point, the two sides reached an alliance, the court was sinister, the situation in the court was unstable, everyone was like a wanderer, at this time, only by uniting could it be possible to get through the difficulties.
Zhiying went back and fell asleep, she was not sleepy, but there was an indescribable tiredness.
The weather is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but they can be profitable but listless, yawning again and again. Because of last night's cranky thoughts, I didn't sleep for half the night, so I'm in a very bad mood now.
A young girl tugged at her sleeve and said, "Cousin, get up, the thrush is waiting for you outside." ”
Thrush Zhiying was thrilled when he heard this, and immediately jumped out of bed. Although she had known the bird for not a thousand or eight hundred years, he was a male after all, and according to his nature, if she had slowed down, he would have been impatient, and when he was impatient, he would turn back to his original form, fly into the house, and then judge her, and when he had said enough, he would fly away, leaving her alone in the wind. Sometimes he wonders whether he is a thrush or a starling?
As soon as she finished freshening up, she saw a brown float of brown that was the thrush. She sighed, when will this guy learn to knock on the door and know that there is a difference between men and women.
"I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed. The thrush spoke, and sat down across from her with a tuck of robe. I saw a pair of his eyes glancing at Zhiying's body, and Zhiying's body was not afraid of the shadow's oblique, so he let him look at it. After a while, Zhiying couldn't bear it anymore, and asked him during the tea, "Have you seen enough?"
"I see you're pretty idle, and you're running to me all the time. Zhiying poured two cups of tea and brought him one.
He took the tea but didn't drink it, looked at her and muttered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Those were all jokes before, and I forgot about them after hearing them, and it's nothing, but there is one thing you must listen to me." ”
"You say. She had rarely seen the bird so serious, and her heart was tensile, and she did not know what he was going to say.
"Promise me not to go there again. When Zhiying heard this, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Admittedly, he said this for her own good, but she asked herself why they were so nervous this time, she had never done anything out of the ordinary.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, what to do and what not to do, I have my own measure. You see, the weather outside is just right, why don't we go and enjoy it, so as to live up to this great spring. ”
Thrush listened to her words, nodded and agreed: "That's right, with beautiful women and beautiful women, it will definitely be worth the trip." ”
