Chapter 1068: Deliberation and Inspection
It's just that time is pressing now, and for Gongliang'er, there are only three days to grasp. If you miss it, you can't regret it.
"Xianyun, I know all of what you said. But now we don't have the best and most reliable source of information except for the regimental father-in-law. And since we are going to inquire about the plans and arrangements of the provincial relatives, we have to know, the earlier and the more detailed, the better. I thought I could only go to my father-in-law first and try my luck. ”
Recently, in front of the inner house of the chief eunuch Xiao Tuanzi, who had been gradually marginalized by the new emperor Helian Yingchu, there were many doors, and few people visited.
Xiao Tuanzi didn't have any errands all day, and there was nothing to do, so he should be happy to be idle and comfortable, but Xiao Tuanzi felt guilty and blamed himself because the new emperor Helian Yingche was still under house arrest in Beiying Pingle City, and he had no way to rescue the new emperor Helian Yingche.
That night, Xiao Tuanzi also heard that Princess Furou and Princess Fuling had returned to Dayan to save their relatives, and the emperor set up a banquet in the side hall, but he did not call him, the so-called "chief eunuch", to serve.
Xiao Tuanzi had no choice but to stay alone in his own house and drink to kill his sorrows.
Xiao Tuanzi thought of those happy times when he followed the new emperor Helian Yingche before, and he didn't feel that there was inevitably some bitterness in his heart.
Thinking of it again, now that the new emperor Helian Yingche is under house arrest in the enemy's country, he is even more sad in his heart, and he can't help shedding two tears.
Xiao Tuanzi sighed while drinking, and silently wiped his tears.
Halfway through the drink, I heard a knock on the door.
Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and got up to open the door.
When Xiao Tuanzi saw Gongliang'er, the whole person was stunned.
I saw Gongliang Zhu'er dressed in red, standing outside the door. And the maid behind her, Xianyun, followed closely behind, carrying a red light in her hand.
"Ying...... Ying Guifei Niangniang?! ”
"Father-in-law! I came to find the group father-in-law at this time, and I didn't disturb the group father-in-law to rest, right? ”
Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly rubbed his eyes and shook his head.
"No, no, Concubine Ying, please sit in the room."
Xiao Tuanzi let Gongliang and the maid Xianyun into the house.
When Xiao Tuanzi closed the door casually, he also deliberately looked to see if anyone was following or monitoring behind him.
"Father-in-law, this is ......"
As soon as Gongliang Yu'er entered the door, he saw half of the wine on the table, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiao Tuanzi's eyes were still shining with tears.
Gongliang had already guessed in his heart that Xiao Tuanzi was borrowing wine alone to kill his sorrows.
Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly smiled and put away the wine glass from the wine jug.
"The slave doesn't know that Niangniang will come back tonight, before that, I drank two cups by myself, don't mind."
Gongliang smiled slightly, she could naturally understand Xiao Tuanzi's mood.
"It's so late, I came here to find the slave, is there anything wrong?"
Xiao Tuanzi felt that Gongliang had something important to tell.
"Father-in-law must have known that today, Princess Furou and Princess Fuling returned to Dayan Province under the escort of King Changshan."
Hearing this, the father-in-law nodded and said, "The slave has indeed heard about it." Moreover, the slave maid also heard that the emperor had arranged for the two princesses to live temporarily in Tingxue Lou and Woyunzhai. ”
Gongliang nodded.
"I came to see Father-in-law Tuan in such a hurry today because I wanted to ask Father-in-law Tuan. I don't know if you know. ”
"If the mother has anything to say, just ask, the slave must know everything, and the words are endless."
"I don't know if the father-in-law knows the specific arrangements of the emperor in order to welcome Princess Furou and Princess Fuling back to Dayan Province in the past few days?"
Xiao Tuanzi never thought that it was this matter that Concubine Ying Gongliang wanted to ask him.
Xiao Tuanzi pursed her lips guiltily, and said to herself: "Niangniang doesn't know, although the slave maid is now the chief eunuch, she should serve by the emperor's side, and she should know a lot of unknown things. It's just that recently, the emperor doesn't seem to trust the slaves and maids very much. Many important decisions were made behind the backs of slaves and maids. Slaves and maids are not allowed to participate at all. Just like tonight, the slave maid knew that the emperor would hold a banquet in the side hall to entertain Princess Furou and Princess Fuling, but the slave and maid still couldn't go to the scene without the emperor's order, so they could only drink and drink here to kill their sorrows. So I'm really sorry, the mother asked the slave and maid this question, and the slave and maid didn't know very well, the specific arrangements for the two princesses to return to China this time. ”
When Xiao Tuanzi said this again, he kept hanging his head, his expression was very guilty, and he had a feeling that he had more than enough heart but not enough strength.
Gongliang also knew that Xiao Tuanzi had difficulties, many things and inside stories, the new emperor Helian Yingchu would not easily tell him, and even deliberately avoided him.
Xiao Tuanzi didn't know the specific itinerary of the provincial relatives, and it was already expected by Gongliang.
"It's okay, since you don't know. Then I'll think of other ways to inquire. ”
Gongliang said that, and was about to get up and say goodbye. Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly asked.
"Niangniang suddenly came to the slave maid this night, and suddenly asked about this matter, is it related to the plan to rescue the new emperor?"
Xiao Tuanzi is the confidant of the new emperor Helian Yingche, who has been by Helian Yingche's side for many years, and knows Gongliang Er'er very well.
Xiao Tuanzi could naturally see that Concubine Ying Gongliang would come to him in such a hurry to inquire about this matter, which showed that this matter was very important to Gongliang Jie'er.
And before that, Gongliang Fu'er was bent on rescuing the new emperor Helian Yingche, this time Helian Furou, Helian Fuling and Changshan King Su Yanqing finally came back, and finally they were able to meet, Gongliang Zhu'er must have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to contact these three people privately to discuss how to rescue the new emperor Helian Yingche.
Gongliang nodded and admitted Xiao Tuanzi's guess.
"This time, the two princesses finally came back, and I want to take the opportunity of the two princesses to come back to save their relatives, and contact them privately to discuss how to rescue the new emperor from coming back. Therefore, I am anxious to know the emperor's plans and arrangements for these three days. ”
Gongliang is in front of Xiao Tuanzi, and there is no need to hide it at all.
Xiao Tuanzi sighed with emotion: "The slave knows that Niangniang must not give up, any chance to save the new emperor!" ”
"Although, the slave maid doesn't know what the specific plan for the three days arranged by the emperor is. However, since it is a matter of rescuing the new emperor, the slave and maid will definitely go all out and do their best. The slave maid is now in the palace, although she is a marginal person, but there are still some acquaintances who have a good relationship, and the slave maid first asks someone to inquire, and then gives a reply to the mother. ”
