Chapter 55: This Woman Wants to Usurp the Throne
Wisteria small building.
Leng Qinglang sat in front of the candle flame, supporting his forehead with his hand, and he was distracted.
Zhiqiu came out with a plate of cut melons and fruits in his hand and gently rested it in Leng Qinglang's hand.
"Miss, eat some melons and fruits to quench your thirst."
Leng Qinglang withdrew her gaze from the red candle in front of her, and casually swept Zhiqiu's face, the redness and swelling on her cheeks had long since subsided, and she had returned to her usual fairness and smoothness. Looking carefully, she has thin skin and big eyes, and the tips of her eyes are raised, with a natural flattery, as Zhao's mother said, she is a beauty.
She picked up a piece of melon and took a bite: "Are you still angry with me that day?" I was really helpless, so I hit you. You should understand the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost. ”
Zhiqiu shook his head: "Where the young lady said, the trouble comes from the mouth, Zhiqiu knows that you are for the good of the slave." ”
"If only you understood." Leng Qinglang looked at her thoughtfully: "I heard that you went out alone that day and night?" ”
Zhiqiu lowered his eyes: "If Miss Hui is in return, the slave maid has gone to the prince's study." ”
Leng Qinglang's hand trembled, and the melon slipped from between his fingers and fell on Luo's skirt.
Zhiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and threw it away, and then wiped it with a handkerchief: "The slave knelt for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more guilty I became, not only did I help Miss, but I also made you suffer from me." Therefore, after thinking about it, he took the initiative to go to the prince's study, asked the prince for his guilt, and begged him to come to Wisteria Xiaozhu. ”
Leng Qinglang was a little suspicious: "Do you need to deliberately wash up your guilt?" ”
"The slave and maid are embarrassed, worried that the prince will misunderstand that the young lady is mistreating our subordinates. So, rub a little fat powder to cover up the redness on your cheeks. The slave maid went to the prince to take the board willingly, so I just hoped that the prince would be angry, don't misunderstand the young lady, how did she fall into the eyes of others, and chew the root of the slave's tongue behind her back like this? ”
"Others just mention it casually." Leng Qinglang changed the subject: "Plus you never mentioned this matter the next day, so I asked." ”
"The slave maid hasn't seen the prince, so there's nothing to give back."
There was a noise outside, and the maid sent to the kitchen came back, and walked in with the curtain lifted, empty-handed.
"Where's the bird's nest?" Zhiqiu asked her, "Didn't you go to the kitchen to get bird's nest for the master?" ”
"The bird's nest is gone. The steward in the kitchen said that the prince sent someone back to the house today, made a few dishes, and brought the bird's nest that his wife eats every day to the barracks. ”
"Taken away?" Leng Qinglang raised his eyebrows: "Who eats?" ”
The little girl didn't speak, and Zhiqiu snorted lightly: "Do you still need to speak?" It's hard there, and this meal and bird's nest must be prepared for Leng Qinghuan. ”
As soon as the words fell, Leng Qinglang waved his hand and swept all the cups and fruits on the table to the ground, his chest rose and fell with anger, and his panting became short.
"Eat for Leng Qinghuan? She deserves it too! What kind of thing is she? ”
The little girl shrank and didn't dare to speak.
Zhiqiu asked her, "Leng Qinghuan hasn't come back yet?" ”
The little girl shook her head: "When the man left, he said that Deputy General Yu was injured unsteadily, and the princess stayed in the barracks at night and did not come back." ”
"Stay in the barracks? Aren't women not allowed to stay overnight in the barracks? It must be Leng Qinghuan who deliberately exaggerated his words under the pretext of treating his injuries, and he didn't come back from the barracks, so that he could get close to the prince. "Zhiqiu is categorical.
Leng Qinglang was so angry that he had already left Zhao's mother's advice behind, and gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Shameless bitch, don't you just know how to use medical skills?" It's just that Lai is in the palace and doesn't leave, and now he is openly seducing the prince, which is obviously a provocation to me! ”
"That's it, the prince has always hated her and hated her to the core, how could he be so good to her, and rob Miss of your bird's nest to her? It is clear that she is using this to blackmail the prince. Miss, we can't sit still.
If she exaggerates her illness and stays in the barracks for ten days and a half months, opposite to the general, the general will forget about you for a long time. You want to be proactive. ”
"How else can I take the initiative? It's been so long, if I hadn't been shy to find him, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to step into the door of my wisteria building. He has a big shelf, isn't my daughter's face worthless? ”
"Miss is angry with the prince?"
Leng Qinglang frowned: "The last turmoil has not passed, not only did the prince not reconcile with Leng Qinghuan, but also went to the military camp in a rage, and he must still be angry with me." Zhao's mother said, I can't push too hard, the prince will think I'm too cheap. ”
Zhiqiu sneered: "Mother Zhao, what kind of thoughts is this, actually instigating you and the prince to be angry?" Miss, have you forgotten that the eldest lady was not allowed to see Xiangye at the beginning, wasn't she too strong, always breathed a sigh of relief, and refused to be soft on Xiangye? Mother Zhao didn't let you come close, obviously to give Leng Qinghuan a chance. ”
Leng Qinglang didn't speak for a while. She naturally has her own ideas, Zhiqiu and Zhao's mother have never dealt with each other, and the two of them all like to lay bricks for each other behind their backs, thinking about riding on each other's heads. As for who to believe and who not to believe, it's a bit too early to draw conclusions. She will continue to observe.
She hesitated for a moment: "In your opinion, should I take the initiative to go to the barracks to admit my mistake?" ”
"It's better than if you stay in the house and think nonsense. The barracks are deserted and happy, and we can go too, and we must not continue to give her the opportunity to seduce the prince. ”
We?
Leng Qinglang sneered in his heart, and a touch of coolness flashed in his eyes: "Okay, tomorrow I will take Mother Zhao to the military camp to find the prince to make his words clear." ”
Zhiqiu's expression darkened.
Leng Qinglang said meaningfully: "You still know my mind best, think about me, and live up to the master and servant." Don't worry, as long as I am the princess, you are the most powerful girl in this palace, there are so many promising guards and servants in the palace, you will choose, which one is in the picture, Miss, I will be the master of your marriage, and I will guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life. ”
Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile, with a sincere look of fear: "Thank you for your grace, the slave doesn't want to get married, so she only serves you wholeheartedly." ”
Barrack.
When Murong Qi sent the old general away, it was time for bedtime in the camp. The soldiers went back to their tents, and the whole barracks returned to silence and seriousness.
The soldier in charge of the guard saw his prince patrolling back and forth in the barracks, turning around twice, and visiting the deputy general three times, and he was even more energetic and moved. My own prince was tired all day, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but he actually practiced it and personally supervised the vigilance work in the camp, what reason did he have not to be diligent?
If he is a dignitary in front of him and a person in the future, he can be supported and loved by the officers and men of the three armies of Chang'an, because he has made efforts that ordinary people can't insist on.
And Lord Qi, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just because he had no place to go.
In the palace, Leng Qinghuan slept in his main courtyard and forced him to sleep in the study.
In the barracks, Leng Qinghuan also occupied his room, and he had nowhere to go.
There were no extra tents in the barracks, so in the end, he could only grit his teeth, return to Adjutant Yu's room, and ordered someone to spread a marching couch on the side, and curled up for the night.
When others ask tomorrow, they can barely pull the excuse of taking care of the adjutant general. If you run to someone else's tent and squeeze all night, others will definitely look at you with strange eyes.
Leng Qinghuan slept peacefully, and Murong Qi slept very aggrieved.
Tossing and turning for a long time before falling asleep, when he got up on the second day, Deputy General Yu woke up, saw Murong Qi sleeping next to him, moved to tears, grabbed Murong Qi's hand tightly, choked and couldn't speak.
Murong Qi was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the deputy general's body was still weak, and he was tired after being excited for a while, so he could also get out and come out to find Leng Qinghuan to check his physical condition for him.
Leng Qinghuan had already gotten up, the door of the room was open, and it was empty. Murong Qi asked the soldier who was in charge of taking care of her, and said that Leng Qinghuan would go to the training ground after waking up.
Why is this woman so restless, a barracks is full of big men, what is she doing at the training ground? Isn't it a deliberate disturbance?
His face sank, and the soldier stumbled and explained: "Originally, the two leaders of the camp were a little unwell, so please take a look at the princess." Later, someone asked the princess what was the move to bring down the thirteen horsemen in front of the old prince last night. After talking about it, a group of people went directly to the training ground. ”
Murong Qi raised his legs and chased towards the training ground, but before he got closer, he looked at it fixedly, and the whole person was stunned.
This, this woman is training soldiers?
It's the other way around! Want to usurp the throne!
