Chapter 291: A Reliable Younger Brother
The little palace attendant dutifully reported the information he saw to Zhou Yan, and then got a rich reward from Zhou Yanran, and then ran away.
Zhou Yanran still maintained a different posture of sitting in place, and said, "The palace has inquired about everything you want to know, and you still haven't shown up?" ”
The voice settled, and the slowly flowing air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then I saw a man in a royal blue brocade dress walking out from behind the screen on one side.
That person's face was somewhat similar to Zhao Ling, and he also had a childish face that could not hide his amorous and evil spirit, and the corners of his mouth were hooked with a wicked smile, and when he saw Zhou Yanran's naked and delicate neck like white jade, his eyes burst out with a playful luster. Isn't this person Zhao Heng, the Nine Emperor Prince who has always liked to wander around the flowers and is accustomed to spending time and drinking.
Zhao Heng played with the beautiful jade in his hand, threw it into the air one by one, and at the same time approached and stepped forward, looking at Zhou Yanran's unfriendly face, and said with a hippie smile: "Guifei Niangniang, no matter what, we are also old lovers, you are so unkind to this king, is it really good?" ”
Zhou Yanran immediately grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, raised her head and glared at Zhao Heng: "This palace told you that you are not allowed to talk nonsense, you didn't listen to this palace's words at all, did you?" You go, anyway, the palace you want to know will help you find out, and you can get out of the palace now. ”
Seeing that Zhou Yanran's fingers pointing out of the hall trembled slightly, the smile on Zhao Heng's face still didn't change much, but he reached out to grab Zhou Yanran's delicate fingers: "The temper is still so big, Zhou Yanran, have you forgotten the methods of this king?" ”
Zhou Yanran's hand was tightly grasped by Zhao Heng, she wanted to break free, but how could her little strength be Zhao Heng's opponent.
"Zhao Heng, don't you want to use the past to blackmail this palace again."
"Threatened? This king is reluctant to blackmail a beauty like you, but he just wants to give you a warning; If you are afraid of the king from the bottom of your heart, and mistake the king's words for blackmail, then the king will not object. ”
Zhao Heng, who was obviously still smiling a second ago, suddenly sank his face after saying this, and grabbed Zhou Yanran's chin, forcing her to raise her head to look at herself: "Zhou Yanran, you'd better be polite when you talk to this king in the future, don't worry, the king won't say the thing you're worried about and let others know, but the premise is that you have to help this king with one thing." ”
Zhou Yanran was most afraid of the demon king in front of her, her beautiful eyes were full of fear, even if her delicate cheeks were red and painful from his hard hand, she didn't dare to struggle: "You, what do you want me to do?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Yanran was finally well-behaved, Zhao Heng smiled again: "This is good, the sensible woman is the most beloved." I won't let you do anything dangerous, you just need to keep an eye on Yonghe Palace for this palace, and if you find something wrong, you can immediately let people notify this king, understand? ”
Zhou Yanran is not stupid, she also wants to figure out why Zhao Heng is doing this: "Why did you let me stare at Yonghe Palace?" Has the Queen Lady offended you lately? ”
"Offended? Did the old witch just offend the king? Zhou Yanran, don't ask, there are some things in this world that the less you know, the safer you are, understand? ”
Zhou Yanran nodded hurriedly and responded: "I know, I will send someone to keep an eye on it, and I will report to you if there is a situation." ”
After Zhou Yanran's words, Zhao Heng let go of the hand that was clenching her cheek, and looked at the delicate and tender face that was pinched by him and turned red and white, he was really a little reluctant.
Stretched out his index finger and wanted to touch it, but Zhou Yanran was afraid to dodge it, this scene fell in Zhao Heng's eyes, and he showed a meaningful smile.
"Has anyone bullied you in the palace recently?"
Zhou Yanran seemed to have heard something earth-shattering, and raised her head to look at Zhao Heng in surprise.
"What are you doing watching this king do like this? Why don't you answer the king's question? ”
Zhou Yanran said: "No, no one in the harem dares to bully me, no matter what, I also hold the title of a first-class concubine." ”
The smile on the corner of Zhao Heng's mouth hooked again, and he looked at Zhou Yanran: "Yes, with the favor of my father, it is true that no one dares to bully you; Okay, this king is going to leave the palace, if there is anything in the future, even if it is your own business, if you need the king's help, you can open your mouth. ”
Looking at the back of Zhao Heng leaving, Zhou Yanran's anger that she had been mentioning was finally relieved.
She held on to the chair handle beside her with trembling hands, her face was faintly pale because of the experience just now, and when she walked in close to her body and soul, she had not yet recovered.
"Niangniang, why do you have such a bad face, but do you need a slave to pass the imperial doctor for you?"
Looking at the palace attendants waiting beside her, Zhou Yanran shook her head lightly and said, "It's okay, just wait for a while, what about King Heng?" Are you sure he's out of the palace? ”
The palace attendant replied: "Yes, the servant personally watched him go in the direction of leaving the palace, if nothing else, in another half an hour, he will leave the palace." Niangniang, although His Royal Highness King Heng is also a prince, he has always been the most perverse among several princes, and the slave also heard that he once caused trouble in the palace, and was thrown into the fief by the emperor early; Niangniang's status is noble and special, so it is better to deal with King Heng as little as possible, so as not to cause gossip in the harem. ”
How could Zhou Yanran not know that these words of her henchmen were for her good, but in the face of such a demon king of the world, how could she get rid of it? As early as when she was defiled by this demon king, she couldn't escape from his palm.
And the culprit of all this is none other than the Ling princess Chu Bingyue, who made her hate to the bone.
Thinking of Chu Bingyue, Zhou Yanran regrouped, covered up the panic and fear in her eyes, and said coldly to her henchmen: "You sent someone to stay near Yonghe Palace day and night, and wrote down all the people who have come in and out of Yonghe Palace in recent days and reported them to this palace." can let Zhao Heng make a special trip to the palace to explain, it can be seen that there must be a secret hidden in this Yonghe Palace, as long as the palace catches this secret, it may not be necessary to seize a life. ”
The henchman knew very well that Zhou Yanran had always been a very backbone, and after listening to her instructions, he didn't ask why, and directly asked someone to go down and do it.
Zhou Yanran clenched the handkerchief in her hand again, she was the most favored concubine in the harem, so naturally she had more opportunities to serve Emperor Showa; I don't know if others have found out, anyway, she has found out, Emperor Showa's energy and physical strength have decreased significantly recently, and looking at his barely supporting appearance, Zhou Yanran keenly and boldly thought of a possibility.
People will be born, old, sick and die, and when she decided to embark on this path, she never thought of putting her future in the hands of Emperor Showa; Now that the Son of Heaven's body is declining, even if she is for herself, she must choose a back path for herself; It would be great if this back road could still wish her success.
……
Zhao Heng was not in a hurry to return to his mansion after leaving the palace, but asked for a carriage to go to King Xi's mansion.
When I arrived at King Xi's Mansion, I didn't need to be informed by the people in the house, so I went directly to the study and found Zhao Xi.
"Old Seven, I've done everything you told me, you should always tell me now, why did you do this?"
Looking at Zhao Heng, Zhao Xi's head was lifted from the bookshelf, put the book of strategies in his hand back in place on the bookshelf, walked out, and said, "Don't worry about asking me first, let me ask you first, are you sure that Zhou Yanran woman will do things for you?" Don't forget, that woman is not a good thing, and I always feel uneasy about asking her for errands. ”
Uncle Zhao Heng crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Seventh brother, if you don't say that you can only be a little minion for the third brother, you can't become the second third brother; Haven't you heard of a saying that employing people without suspicion and suspicion is not used? Okay, since you suspect Zhou Yanran, then I'll tell you a piece of news, which will surprise you. ”
Zhao Heng sold a pass and said, "Guess what, who entered the palace today to find the old witch of the Jiang family?" ”
Looking at Zhao Heng's gossip look, Zhao Xi guessed at once: "Brother Wang? ”
"Damn! Do you want to be so smart. ”
Zhao Heng said stupidly: "Yes, it is the eldest brother, but you can never imagine how long the eldest brother stayed after entering the Yonghe Palace; He is a cheap son who was fostered under Jiang's knees, and he is really a filial person, and he came to Jiang's Yonghe Palace and stayed for more than an hour without coming out; As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he really has to make people suspicious when he does this. ”
"Are you sure? Did the eldest brother really stay in Yonghe Palace for that long? ”
Zhao Heng smiled: "Of course it's confirmed, and this news is still under my nose Zhou Yanran sent her own people to investigate in person, now you should always believe that woman will become our eyes in the palace." ”
Zhao Xi was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, since you have chosen her, then I will believe in your vision this time; But you have to keep her under control, and you can't let her get off the leash. ”
"Afraid of what? If that woman still dares to resist, Lao Tzu will sleep with her. Anyway, I don't have other abilities, but I still have this ability. ”
Zhao Xi knew the relationship between Zhao Heng and Zhou Yanran, so it was not surprising to hear him say this, but glanced at this stinky boy: "Just know how to play with women, be careful that you don't know if you die in the hands of a woman one day." ”
"Hey, hey! If there is such a day, I am still thankful, the peony flower is also a ghost, and my favorite thing to do in my life is a ghost; Okay Brother Seven, don't divert the topic, you haven't told me yet, why do you want people to stare at Yonghe Palace? ”
Zhao Xi didn't hide it from Zhao Heng, and told him the truth directly: "It was the third brother Feige who told me that he wanted me to keep an eye on the movements of the eldest brother and Yonghe Palace. ”
"Third brother? Why didn't the third brother give you a book of flying pigeons? I'm also his brother, okay? ”
Zhao Ximing bullied Zhao Heng and said, "Because in the eyes of the third brother, my younger brother is more reliable than you." ”
