Chapter 62: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Everyone has seen Leng Shuang's skills just now, and the person who can react so quickly must have a lot of ability, but this time the county lord of Zhaojing blamed General Leng's favorite wife, the county lord of Wupin, everyone dared not speak, and seemed to be watching the county lord of Zhaojing stupidly show off alone.
"What does the county lord of Zhaojing mean is that the maid next to me, Lengshuang, pretended to be Queen Chen with a human skin mask, and pretended to be a ghost every night to scare the county lord Shuhua? How precious is a human skin mask that is completely similar to a human face, and the county lord of Zhaojing actually thinks that Yu Nuan got Empress Chen's human skin mask in just one month after Empress Chen's death, which is really worthy of Yu Nuan. Qin Yunuan tilted her head and looked at Lord Zhaojing with a smile.
Qin Yunuan's calm and calm eyes were undoubtedly another provocation for the county lord of Zhaojing, and she said sharply: "What can't you do, you just rely on yourself to bully Sister Shuhua." ”
Princess Jing couldn't sit still after all, and scolded from afar: "Jing'er, you are still a little confused after suffering from the cold, come to me, don't say it again." After speaking, he directly ordered the two servant girls around him who had some background to forcibly bring Princess Zhaojing over, but Princess Zhaojing kept shouting at Leng Suxin: "The evidence is on this ugly woman's face, don't believe it, her face is also a human skin mask, which Qin Yunuan found for her." ”
"Brother Huang, Zhao Jing is tired, she will talk nonsense when she is tired, and the imperial sister will take her back to the house first." Princess Jing may not have been so embarrassed in her life, she ordered the maid to drag the arm of the county lord of Zhaojing, and one of them even clicked on the dumb of the county lord of Zhaojing under the signal of Princess Jing, and the county lord of Zhaojing suddenly became dumb, his mouth opened and closed desperately, but he couldn't make a sound.
Emperor Zhaoxuan didn't want the county lord of Zhaojing to stay for a long time, so he nodded, and he acquiesced.
But Leng Suxin's face became the target of everyone, and she stiffly accepted everyone's eyes as if they were tortured, until Qin Yunuan personally stepped down from her seat to pull her.
"Fourth girl, it's okay, Princess Zhaojing is just sick and has a little temper." While comforting, Qin Yunuan whispered a hint to Leng Suxin and said, "You believe me, since I dare to let you come, I won't let you have an accident." ”
Qin Yunuan pulled Leng Suxin back to the seat, and Princess Ning sent Mo Ju beside her to ask about the situation, Mo Ju was obviously not as skilled as Qingzhu, and her tone was a little rusty.
Qin Yunuan glanced at Princess Ning, who had been looking at this side from a distance, nodded and smiled, and then said back to Mo Ju: "Tell the mother concubine that everything is fine, since the fourth girl is here, let's stay." ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan and Murong Feng were still greeting, and the banquet continued awkwardly, but it ended half an hour earlier than the scheduled plan, but Qin Yunuan could conclude that Leng Suxin definitely left an excellent impression on Murong Feng, coupled with her previous dots, she had sent her own people to the channels where Murong Feng could inquire about information, and the news that Murong Feng got should have been deliberately released by Qin Yunuan;
Just when the guests were about to disperse, the father-in-law next to the emperor suddenly arrived at Qin Yunuan and Leng Suxin's seat, with a kind smile, but since the last assassin incident, the emperor obviously did not have much favor for the minions who only cared about their own lives at this critical time.
"Please stay with the fourth girl of Pingjun Lord Leng, the emperor and Concubine Yun have also prepared a small banquet in the lotus pond, please move and enjoy the light."
Leng Suxin hesitated a little, but Qin Yunuan replied very naturally: "Let's go immediately, and ask my father-in-law to convey Yunuan's thanks on my behalf." ”
Qin Yunuan probably guessed what the emperor and Concubine Yun deliberately called out to themselves and Leng Suxin, Princess Ning in the distance came over and asked why her father-in-law came, after Qin Yunuan answered truthfully, Princess Ning didn't have much expression on her face, only said that she hadn't caught up with the Queen Mother for a long time, so she just went to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace first, and then waited for Leng Suxin and Qin Yunuan to return to the house together.
Looking at the back of Princess Ning leaving, Leng Suxin was a little distracted.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yunuan asked while arranging her clothes, since she wanted to see the emperor and the concubine, no matter what it was, Qin Yunuan would also appear in the most suitable and decent image.
"I'm afraid." For the first time, Leng Suxin's eyes revealed a kind of worry and panic in her daughter's family, she was like a deer trapped in a trap, waiting for the hunter to bind and slaughter her.
Qin Yunuan smiled: "I thought you had always been not afraid of the sky and the earth." ”
Leng Suxin lowered his head and replied, "That's you, not me." ”
Qin Yunuan's eyes showed a bit of tenderness: "I'm not afraid of that, because I know that I have Changxi, and apart from losing Changxi, there is nothing else that can make me afraid." ”
"I want to be like you" Leng Suxin's attitude towards Qin Yunuan now has changed from the initial cold resistance to treating him as a confidant, "If you have love in your heart, you have nothing to fear." ”
Qin Yunuan sighed: "If you really don't want to marry Xixia, just say it, I still have a way." ”
Leng Suxin laughed self-deprecatingly: "I know that you are powerful, so powerful that you can make up the identity of a little phoenix immortal disciple for me, but going to Xixia is the only way for me to get rid of the love network, and being able to provide information for you and the third brother over there can be regarded as a little contribution that I can do." ”
Qin Yunuan didn't speak, in a blink of an eye, the two of them had already walked to the corner gate of the lotus pond, it was already the middle of winter, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond had already withered, and the cold wind blowing through the cold pond made the chill in people's hearts cooler, and the coldness of the fingertips was even colder.
From a distance, I saw two rows of palace maids standing outside the painting hall by the lotus pond, the emperor and Concubine Yun must be inside, Qin Yunuan was in front, Leng Suxin was behind, and then walked to the front of the painting hall, just when I was about to let the eunuch at the door report, but a delicate female voice suddenly came from inside: "Come on, arrest these two people to the palace." ”
Not long after, there were four or five sturdy guards around him, and just before Qin Yunuan and Leng Suxin could react, they grabbed the arms of the two of them one by one on the left and one on the right, so that the two of them could not move.
Leng Suxin subconsciously resisted, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, but Qin Yunuan was very calm, she had already thought of such a result before she came, and even told the cold frost hidden in the dark not to act rashly.
Sitting in the center of the painting hall, only Yun Guifei is alone, where is the shadow of the emperor, at this time Yun Guifei is smiling delicately, a pair of charming eyes like spring silkworms showing pride;
Even though her hands were tied, Qin Yunuan was still arrogant: "My father-in-law said that the emperor and Concubine Yun had a private banquet for me and Miss Leng, is this the hospitality of the concubine?" Also, why is the emperor not here, and the concubine Niangniang used her father-in-law to falsely pass on the emperor's message, isn't she afraid that the emperor will pursue it? ”
"Afraid?" Concubine Yun seemed to think that Qin Yunuan's words were extremely ridiculous, "If this palace is afraid, it won't call you over, this palace is a fake oracle, but so what, this palace is for the Great Qi royal family, for the emperor, the emperor will understand the hard work of this palace, Imperial Doctor Zhang, you go and check the face of the fourth girl Leng to see if it is true or false, whether it is really wearing a human skin mask." ”
It seems that Concubine Yun really took the words of the county lord of Zhaojing to heart, and the Imperial Doctor Zhang in Concubine Yun's mouth is Zhang Ruting, who Qin Yunuan has not seen for a long time, and now Zhang Ruting has lost a lot of weight compared to before, since Fang Ziying married Jiangnan, Zhang Ruting has become thinner and thinner, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and anyone with a discerning eye can see Zhang Ruting's intentions for Fang Ziying, but Fang Ziying doesn't understand, and Zhang Ruting will appear here today, Qin Yunuan knows very well that Zhang Ruting must have taken refuge in Yun Guifei.
After all, in the palace, no matter who it is, without a big tree to rely on, it is like a boat sailing on the sea, and the boat may capsize at any time.
Zhang Ruting nodded in response, and slowly approached Leng Suxin, Qin Yunuan knew that Zhang Ruting had been staring at her with her spare eyes, she squinted her eyes slightly, and watched Zhang Ruting carefully use wooden tweezers and small needles to study back and forth on Leng Suxin's face, Leng Suxin closed her eyes tightly, but her heart was beating wildly.
"Guifei Niangniang, if you want to verify whether Miss Leng Si's face is real, you can check it directly, why use such a strong method, if you make a mistake and privately detain the minister's daughter and the Wupin County Lord, I am afraid that the reputation of Guifei Niangniang will not be guaranteed." Qin Yunuan said calmly, but the more she was like this, the more confident Concubine Yun had in her heart.
"Since this palace dares to do it, it naturally has the confidence of this palace" Concubine Yun's face showed a different kind of excitement, if she really checked out this matter for the emperor, she would definitely be valued by the emperor, and the queen's position would be within reach.
Qin Yunuan sneered in her heart, but she didn't know that there were many people in this palace who watched Yun Guifei make jokes, this time, most of them took advantage of Yun Guifei's psychology of quick success and quick profit, forcing her to make mistakes, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, that person was really treacherous.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, is there a result?" Concubine Yun urged.
Zhang Ruting's hand paused slightly, handed over all the tools in his hand to the doctor beside him, and arched his hand: "Back to the noble concubine, there is nothing abnormal in the face of the fourth girl. ”
"What do you mean?" Concubine Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhang Ruting said in a deep voice: "What Weichen means is that Miss Leng Si's face is real, and there is no human skin mask. ”
"Impossible." Yun Guifei took the case, and her eyeliner clearly told her that seeing Leng Suxin take off the mask in front of Qin Yunuan, how terrible the real skin was, how hideous the burn wound was, it was so true, so accurate.
"I don't believe it," Concubine Yun shouted at Zhang Ruting, "You check it for me again, check it out for me." ”
Zhang Ruting looked a little embarrassed, and subconsciously fell on Qin Yunuan.
Qin Yunuan said sarcastically: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, since the noble concubine Niangniang asked you to check, you can check it well, so as not to make a little mistake, can you afford it?" ”
At this moment, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside: "The emperor has arrived." ”
