Chapter 74: I've never seen such a brazen person
At dusk, the remaining glow on the horizon dyes the last trace of color on the wall, and the northeast corner of the Yinghua Palace is the most lonely and depressed place in the whole palace, which is located in a remote area, and there is a cold palace nearby, so few people come.
Yin Lingyuan was wearing the uniform of a palace maid and had been waiting here for a long time.
Finally, she heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps, Yin Lingyuan smiled, and looked from afar, it was still the same as last time, Chen Yikun, who came to the appointment in the clothes of a little eunuch.
Chen Yikun was looking around, cautiously moving forward, and when he saw the figure of a woman not far away, he immediately sped up and ran over, and when he saw the other party's face clearly, he was shocked, and then immediately restrained his expression, folded his sleeves and lowered his head to leave quickly.
"But Chen Yikun, Chen Gongzi?" , Yin Lingyuan spoke out at the right time, "I am the maid of the concubine Niangniang." ”
Chen Yikun stopped, and then turned around and looked at Yin Lingyuan carefully: "Yes Rong...... Concubine Xian sent you? Where is she? But what happened to that thing? ”
Yin Lingyuan was disdainful in her heart, and pretended to be respectful on her face: "My mother is sick and can't get out of bed, so I came to ask my son." ”
"She's sick?" Chen Yikun's face showed anxiety, and he muttered to himself, "How could you suddenly get sick?" It's just at this juncture that ......"
Yin Lingyuan heard it clearly, the first sentence thought that he was concerned about the concubine, and the latter sentence realized that he really overestimated this person, he was worried about himself at all, so his tone was not polite: "Why is my mother sick, isn't the son clear?" She finally waited for such an opportunity to leave with her son and stay together, but why didn't her son want to? Could it be that you can't give up this prosperous imperial capital, fame and fortune? ”
"I have explained this matter to her in detail", Chen Yikun said, "Don't say that her friend is unreliable, even if this method can really work, I am gone, what will happen to the wife, children and mother at home, who will take care of them?" ”
"Childe rest assured," Yin Lingyuan said, "Concubine Xian Niangniang has already obtained the fake death medicine, as long as you take the medicine, you can get the golden cicada out of its shell, and when you get outside, you will have someone to answer it, and you will never affect your family members." ”
"Even if it doesn't affect my family, how will they survive when I'm gone?" Chen Yikun continued.
"This mother-in-law of my family also has plans", Yin Lingyuan continued, "She has saved some silver taels over the years, and she is willing to give some gifts to her son's family, which can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and Niangniang has a few good sisters in the palace, and she will also help her son take care of the family." ”
"But I ......"
Yin Lingyuan didn't wait for him to continue, and continued: "Niangniang knows that Gongzi still has a younger brother in the family, and he has also reached the age of entering the office, when you and my mother leave, someone will help behind your back, so that Gongzi's younger brother can make up for your official vacancy, so that the Chen family will not decline." ”
Yin Lingyuan arranged everything properly, that is, he wanted to block all the excuses of Chen Yikun until the other party was speechless.
Yin Lingyuan took the initiative to ask again: "Is there still something difficult about Childe?" Say it, the slave and maid will report to the mother, and they will be able to solve it one by one. ”
Chen Yikun turned around irritable and slammed the palace wall: "In short, this matter is absolutely impossible, you go back to your mother, my friend's affairs are serious, let her think of a way quickly." ”
"Didn't you listen to what I just said?" Yin Lingyuan shook her face, "Niangniang is sick, she can't get out of bed at all, and she can't serve the emperor, how do you want her to investigate?" ”
"Doesn't she have good sisters? She can't, let the good sister go and listen. Chen Yikun blurted out.
The concubine who was hiding around the corner saw all this, her eyes were red, and she bit her lower lip stubbornly, if it wasn't for Hanlu pulling behind, she couldn't help but rush out.
This was Yin Lingkite's suggestion, she pretended to be a palace maid to see Chen Yikun, and asked Concubine Xian to stay in the dark to watch.
What I just said about helping Chen Yikun take care of his family is not all false, if Chen Yikun really loves Xian Concubine and is willing to give up everything to stay with her, then these words will naturally be fulfilled, but the result is not as Yin Lingyuan expected, this man is simply using Xian Concubine, and he can even say this kind of thing about letting a good sister go.
If it weren't for the fear of making too much trouble and attracting others, Yin Lingyuan really wanted to slap him, so he could only hold back his anger at the moment: "Childe is so anxious, isn't it Childe himself who is a prostitute?" Actually, I don't have any friends at all. ”
"You ......" Chen Yikun couldn't pretend anymore, so he suddenly approached Yin Lingyuan and pinched her neck, with a fierce momentum.
Yu Ze, who had been guarding the surroundings, heard the sound and moved, and when he was about to make a move, he saw Yin Lingyuan quietly waving his hand at him, signaling not to interfere and he could handle it.
"What does Zhang Gongzi want to do? Could it be that you still want to kill me", Yin Lingyuan was not afraid at all, "Don't forget, this is the palace." ”
Chen Yikun looked at her for a moment, and slowly let go, but his eyes were still fierce: "Go back and tell your mother, you don't need to mention the matter of leaving, and it is most important to find out what the emperor means as soon as possible." ”
Yin Lingyuan shook her neck left and right: "Niangniang often says that the son is gentle and polite, and he has always been in love with her, but now it seems that this is not the case, Zhang Gongzi is not afraid that I will tell the mother everything you did today?" ”
"Humph!" Chen Yikun sneered, "Rong'er will believe me, how can you allow a cheap maid to chew the root of your tongue." ”
It's really fearless, Yin Lingyuan said in her heart, just about to speak, but she saw Concubine Xian appear from around the corner, and then walked straight over, grabbing Chen Yikun is slap in the face.
Well played!
Yin Lingyuan cheered for her in her heart, and she had to act on her face: "Niangniang, why are you here?" ”
Chen Yikun was suddenly slapped, and he looked up vigorously, and saw that it was a concubine, and his fierce eyes didn't have time to take it back, and he turned into surprise: "Rong'er? You, aren't you sick? ”
Then he reacted, pointed at Yin Lingyuan and shouted: "You masters and servants have teamed up to deceive me!" ”
"Chen Yikun, I only hate myself for being blind in the past, and I was deceived by your sweet words." The concubine's crying voice was full of despair.
"Rong'er, no, you listen to my explanation." Chen Yikun was anxious and pulled Concubine Xian to try to redeem it.
"I've just seen it clearly, what else do you have to explain?" , Concubine Xian looked at the man in front of her who she couldn't love, and finally burst into tears: "Pity me for paying a sincere heart, but you used it to use calculations, Chen Yikun, you and I took today as the boundary, and I had a nightmare when I used to do it, and then we have nothing to do with each other, let's live separately." ”
After speaking, he shook off the man's hand fiercely, stepped forward and pulled Yin Lingkite to leave.
"Rong'er!" The sad look on Chen Yikun's face faded, revealing ruthlessness and calculation, "You can blame me and blame me, but the matter of prostitutes must be investigated by me." ”
"What did you say?" Concubine Xian couldn't believe her ears.
Chen Yikun continued without shame: "And in the future, as long as you are in this palace for a day, you will find out the news for me." ”
"You're dreaming." Yin Lingyuan has never seen such a brazen person, and today is an eye-opener.
Chen Yikun sneered, she didn't take Yin Lingyuan, the "maid", in her eyes at all, she grabbed the wrist of the concubine, and completely revealed her true face: "I keep all the letters you communicated with me privately, and I keep all the things you gave me, if these are seen by the emperor, what do you think he will do with you?" ”
"You ......" Concubine Xian looked at Chen Yikun, her eyes were full of fear, after so many years, she finally recognized this man for the first time.
She bit her lower lip fiercely to prevent herself from crying: "If you poke this matter out, you won't be able to get out of it." ”
With a sly smile on the man's face, he raised his hands and studied carefully: "Over the years, all my correspondence with you has been written with my left hand, and my daily writing is my right hand, and the handwriting on both hands is very different, no one knows that I can write on my left hand, even if my name is on the letter, I can be said to have been framed." ”
"And even if it is really found out that the other person is me, with your whole clan to bury me Chen Yikun, it will be worth dying." He has a handsome face, but the smile on his face at the moment is ugly and terrifying.
Concubine Xian was just about to speak, but Yin Lingyuan pulled her and spoke first: "You have long expected this day, and this is so that Concubine Xian can continue to use it for you after learning the truth, right?" ”
"That's right", Chen Yikun said, "If you want to blame yourself, you don't know how to keep to yourself, and try to escape from the palace in vain", and turned to Yin Lingyuan again, "And you, force me to discard my disguise, otherwise your mother can still happily immerse herself in the affectionate dream I weave for her." ”
"In that case," Yin Lingyuan said, "I will persuade Niangniang to never take the whole clan as a livestock to bury." ”
"Be careful when you speak, little girl." Chen Yikun glared at her fiercely, and then turned to Concubine Xian, "Go back and think about it, that matter will be resolved as soon as possible, I will wait for your news." ”
Yin Lingyuan directly took people back to Yinghua Palace, at this time she didn't dare to let Xian Concubine alone, lest she couldn't think of doing anything stupid for a while.
Let Hanlu arrange a room, and said to the outside world that the concubine occasionally felt cold, and was afraid that she would be sick in Ruixiang Palace to He Jieyu, so she moved to Yinghua Palace to live temporarily, and Yin Lingyuan helped take care of it.
Since she came back, Concubine Xian locked herself in the house, Yin Lingyuan could occasionally hear some small cries, and the food sent in was used, but she didn't see anyone and didn't speak.
She persuaded several times, and the reason was exhausted, but she didn't see any effect, and it took seven days before she finally waited for Concubine Xian to come out by herself.
first ordered someone to wash, comb her hair, and change into clean clothes, Yin Lingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her: "Sister, but I finally want to open it?" ”
"Thank you sister for your teachings, I am not yesterday today." The concubine seems to have changed back to the former concubine, calm and generous, elegant and dignified.
"Okay, that's good", Yin Lingyuan remembered that he had received a message from Chen Yikun in the past seven days, and wondered whether he should mention it at this time.
Concubine Xian raised herself: "I have figured out everything about Chen Yikun, since he is unwilling to give up, how can I be at the mercy of others?" ”
Yin Lingyuan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard her say this: "Didn't my sister think of a way to deal with it?" ”
