Chapter 270: Why bother
Maybe the candlelight was too warm, or maybe the night was too quiet, and for a moment, my mind really wavered.
But when I thought of the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and the White Mansion, the charm in my mind was blown away.
"Yes, I believe you." I put my hand around his neck and looked up at him.
When the eyes collided, he lowered his eyes, ran his fingers over my eyelids, and smiled down, "Your eyes tell me that you are reluctant." ”
"Chang'an, you really surprise me everywhere."
On the eve of the wedding, the four emperor brothers didn't make any moves, and even the so-called concubine who came to Beijing with them didn't show up, it seemed that they really just missed their hometown and came back to see.
When the Fourth Emperor Brother came to give me a congratulatory gift, his face was full of hypocrisy, as if he really had a deep relationship with me.
"Chang'an, this is a good marriage that you can't ask for, you must be obedient when you get married." The four emperor brothers said "affectionately", and from the bottom of their hearts, they seemed to be thinking about me.
I clearly didn't miss the tangle and complexity that flashed in his eyes, if I got married, there would be one less person to stop him on the way to usurp the throne, but I married a powerful regent, and he was even more jealous.
"yes." I bent my eyebrows and smiled, it was rare to be so approachable, and he was stunned for a moment.
I had crimson on my fingers, and it looked even more aggressive.
"A good husband and son, I don't care about the affairs of the court, it's not bad to think about it, if thirteen refuses to be the emperor, then you might as well hold the emperor's uncle, then I am still the queen of the world."
I said with a smile, but the face of the person in front of me changed.
"Nonsense, don't talk nonsense." The face of the fourth emperor brother was obviously not very good-looking, and his voice was a little lower, and then he eased his expression and said, "You are not a child anymore, you can't act recklessly in the future." ”
"Reckless?" I tilted my head slightly to look at him and called him as if I was outside, "What do you mean by Fourth Brother?" Does anyone else in this world dare to cut off my head? Or does the fourth elder brother feel that the candidate for the throne is not appropriate, and he needs to find a suitable person? ”
I said this too bluntly, his vision wandered, and he didn't dare to look at me directly after a few haha, a little panicked.
"Yes, look at my brother, I almost forgot, Chang'an, you were raised with your hands, and you should enjoy all the highest etiquette in the world." The Fourth Emperor Brother held back and smiled gently at me.
But in this emotion, it is inevitable that there is a bit of sourness.
"The news of the mutiny came from the east, and I was afraid that it would affect the wedding, so I found someone to pay it off in advance." I also smiled brightly and harmlessly, and my chin curled slightly, "I heard that there is still some mess in your territory, fourth brother, and I will clean it up for you." ”
His face turned pale a little, "Yes...... Yes, that's really thank you Chang'an. ”
"By the way, the fourth brother came in just now to say something to me?" I found a staircase.
He gave me the things in his hand, "I sent this to you, the fourth brother is nothing good, this is the night pearl of the South China Sea prepared for you alone." ”
The huge night pearl is lying quietly in the box, just looking at this material, it is worth a lot.
I rubbed it a few times, looked up and smiled, "Thank you, fourth brother." ”
It wasn't until he went out that the smile on my face gradually fell back, and the pearl of the night was casually put aside.
The few places I cleaned up didn't show Ni Duan at all, but I just struck first, and I caught the four emperor brothers off guard, and I should also hammer him on the head with a stick to give him a warning.
Green grapefruit came in from outside and brought some food, "Princess, you eat some first, otherwise you won't be able to stand it for a while." ”
The food is extraordinarily exquisite, and it is not big, just one bite at a time, and it can't get your hands dirty.
Green grapefruit's expression was very strange, as if she had been forced into a mouthful of swill, I looked up suspiciously, she took a long time to take out a chubby snow ball from another food box, "This is, the regent said to you, I'm afraid you will be alone." ”
A snow-white white tiger cub opened its eyes cutely and rubbed my fingers with a whimper, not any aggressive.
I lifted the fur on the back of the cub's neck and watched his four paws swing in the air, a little dazed, "Green grapefruit." ”
"Hey, the slave is here."
"Do you think he's going to hate me?"
Green Grapefruit didn't answer for a long time, just looked at me hesitantly, I snorted and laughed, and put the white tiger on the ground, lacking interest, "I ruined this big wedding, he will definitely hate me to death." ”
Before the wedding, the four emperor brothers must rebel against the palace, I arranged the soldiers and horses early, just waiting for today.
The elite soldiers thrown out were just a disguise, months and years of lurking, countless days of preparation, just waiting to be captured in one fell swoop, confronting Pei Yousheng head-on, breaking his millions of elite soldiers, and breaking his strong territory.
Kill the rebel thief, embrace the new king, lay a solid foundation for my Chen family for thousands of years, and fight a bloody way to compete with the earth-shaking regent.
"What if it fails?" Midori muttered, a little dazed and uneasy.
"If it fails." I whispered, "I've arranged the back road, and it's not a problem for them to remain incognito." ”
Green grapefruit's eyes suddenly turned red, "What about you?" ”
"Me?" I smiled and said, "What are you worried about, people often say that disasters will last for thousands of years, even if I die like this, Lord Yama will not accept it." ”
But I didn't say that under the big red wedding robe, I had already secretly changed into plain white clothes, and if I failed, then I could go down to see my father with a clear conscience.
It's a pity that I found out about Gu Minlan, but I never found out why my father, who has always governed the country benevolently, suddenly listened to the traitorous ministers and destroyed the Pei family.
The white tiger didn't recognize me at all, and kept arching my ankles and making a low grunting sound, as if to please me.
I laughed angrily, picked it up from the ground, and nodded its forehead, "You, you, I can't tell the difference between good and bad, if someone stews it one day, will you also obediently pick off your own skin." ”
But the white tiger in my hand didn't understand, rubbed my palm with his head, and fell asleep on his stomach without any guilt.
It's all in vain.
Before the big wedding started, it was bustling outside, and there were many guests who came, and no one was a fool, so if they didn't take advantage of this time to cling to the relationship, when would they wait.
The only thing I'm worried about is whether the guards of the White Mansion did what I told them to sneak out first.
The door creaked, and I subconsciously hugged the white tiger in my arms, and my body stiffened suddenly, looking out of the door.
It wasn't Pei Yousheng who came, but a palace maid, who was waiting by the Queen Mother's side, and carefully came in with a box, "The Queen Mother said, this is extra for you." ”
A delicate small jewelry box, about to put some jewelry and the like, open it to see that it is, only a hairpin, the style is exquisite, not the current fashion.
This is the queen mother's perennial love hairpin, I heard that it is an heirloom given by her ancestors.
I glanced at it, threw the box on the table, and sneered, "Hongu is not her daughter, so she can't worry about this." ”
I didn't move around for a long time because of the previous estrangement between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, but the two children around me liked the past very much, I just turned a blind eye at most, and I got used to it after a long time.
The box was thrown down, and the hairpin inside almost fell out.
I struggled for a long time, and finally picked it up again, I was not good at being coquettish, so I only said in a hard tone, "Go back, just say that the palace received it." ”
The palace maid heard the words and went out. I rubbed the hairpin, and my eyes were inexplicably a little swollen.
The hairpin turned a few times in the palm of my hand, clicked, and it was divided into two sections, and it was hollow inside!
There was a note, the words on it were crooked, like a small insect crawling, and it took a long time to identify those two words - relieved.
Inside and outside the palace, anyone who is interested in inquiring can inquire, before the Queen Mother became the Queen Mother, she was just a little maid struggling at the bottom, her family was poor, she had no money to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she couldn't write.
These two words almost burst the paper, and they were written very hard, but they were still crooked.
She refused to borrow other people's hands, held the brush herself, and passed the news to me one by one.
"You said that I was not born to her, what do you do so much, even if I don't arrange it, she is a queen mother with no real name, and if she changes the world a few times, she will be safe and sound, and she has nothing to do with this."
Although I complained, I carefully stuffed the note back, stuck the hairpin in my hair, stubbornly raised my chin, and forced the tears back.
"I know that if I mix too much, I'll die, so why bother." I whispered a few words, a little dazed.
