Chapter 63: Temptation of Doubt
Chapter 63 Suspicious and tempting, a bright yellow figure could already be seen approaching from a distance, the corners of Qin Yu's warm lips raised slightly, but she did not take the opportunity to break free from the shackles of the guards around her, she just wanted Emperor Zhaoxuan to see what Concubine Yun had done.
Concubine Yun's heart seemed to be violently whipped by something, and she hurriedly left the painting hall and bent down to greet the holy driver.
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
"Hmph." Emperor Zhaoxuan snorted coldly, and didn't even say anything to let Yun Guifei flatten, but directly entered the painting hall, sat at the head, and stared at Yun Guifei who was doing a salute, until Yun Guifei squatted so that her legs began to tremble, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, flat." ”
Concubine Yun cautiously paced in, the emperor only glanced at Qin Yunuan, who was standing upright, and Concubine Yun immediately said angrily: "You slaves who have no eyesight, don't let go of Lord Ping and Miss Leng Si quickly." ”
Qin Yunuan smiled coldly: "No need, now that the matter has not been clarified, why bother to loosen the ties." ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yunuan, he saw the hardness on Qin Yunuan's face, as well as the indifferent temperament, which was very similar to the original queen mother, Emperor Zhaoxuan said jokingly: "You are very tough, you are really married to the first general of Daqi, and even the tone of your speech is different from the beginning, and you" Emperor Zhaoxuan turned his head to look at Concubine Yun and continued: "Colluding with your father-in-law and falsely passing on the holy oracle is bullying the king, do you know?" ”
Concubine Yun immediately made a small gesture: "The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine just wants to share the emperor's worries, who would have expected to make a mistake and make such a fuss." ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan's friendship with Concubine Yun is still not shallow, at least in front of people, and his tone is quickly gentle: "Don't take it as an example." This can only show that in fact, Emperor Zhaoxuan also wants to do this in his heart.
Emperor Zhaoxuan raised his eyes again and glanced at Qin Yunuan and Leng Suxin, who knelt down to give a salute, and waved his hand: "Okay, you all should get up." ”
Leng Suxin was about to get up, but Qin Yunuan didn't move: "Since the emperor is here, he must have something to ask, rather than being wronged and kneeling down to plead later, it is better to let me kneel all the time." ”
"Wronged?" Emperor Zhaoxuan asked rhetorically, "Since you haven't done it, how can you be wronged?" ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at Concubine Yun, sighed, and said helplessly: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, Yu Nuan is weak, I am afraid that I won't even have a chance to say a word for myself later;
。 ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan squinted, he understood what Qin Yunuan meant, and said with a magnanimous look: "Okay, I will give you a chance to speak, but I also want to listen to the truth, listen to the truth" Emperor Zhaoxuan snorted. The palace maid just served the new tea, "Where is the maid next to you?" The maid called Cold Frost. ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan really still suspected the cold frost, after all, there are rumors in the palace now, not only in the palace of the lord of Shuhua, many eunuchs and palace maids said that they had seen Queen Chen's ghost floating on the palace in the middle of the night, and the ghosts were extremely ghostly, especially the vacant dormitory after Queen Chen's death, and even more, it was said that when she heard Queen Chen's crying every night, there seemed to be some grievances.
Qin Yunuan only made a look, and Leng Shuang came slowly from the hiding place, as if she was just waiting outside, Leng Shuang's expression was indifferent, she was still dressed in purple, her hair was tied up high, and she stepped into the threshold of the painting hall with her front feet, and suddenly a gust of palm wind hit her head-on.
Cold Frost's waist leaned back, dodging the strength of this force, the person who came was good at fist skills, and Cold Frost's advantage was that he was dexterous, good at dodging and light skills, back and forth, one chased after him and fought closely, the other sometimes defended, sometimes retreated, in this painting hall, a man and a woman, a black and a purple cloth fought inextricably.
After all, it was in front of the holy car, Leng Shuang didn't dare to use all his strength, but the man in black was pressing step by step, Emperor Zhaoxuan watched the battle indifferently, and even had a leisurely tea to watch, Qin Yunuan knew that this was testing Leng Shuang, and didn't add more words, but just when Leng Shuang was conservatively focusing only on defense, his feet suddenly slipped, and he was about to fall, the man in black hurriedly wanted to help, but Leng Shuang was reflexively excited, and after making a trick of Xuanxuan, his fingers directly buckled the death point of the man in black's wrist, And the right palm of the man in black was already against the face of the cold frost, and the two were on par, which was considered a tie.
"Black Hawk, that's enough." Emperor Zhaoxuan leisurely ordered the man in black, Qin Yunuan saw the appearance of this man clearly, he had a face with a Chinese character, with clear contours, but there was an extremely long scar on this face, which looked a little terrifying, no wonder he had never seen this person in the emperor's personal entourage, but just looking at this person's skills, he was definitely a master who could make so many moves with cold frost.
The man named Black Eagle turned around and saluted Emperor Zhaoxuan, and reported in a cold voice: "Back to the emperor, this woman is completely different from the woman who appeared that night, and Wechen can conclude that she is definitely not the one who fought with Wechen that night." ”
Sure enough, he was testing the martial arts path of Cold Frost, Emperor Zhaoxuan nodded with satisfaction, and Qin Yunuan said, "Has the emperor tried enough?" ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan frowned slightly, and his face was dissatisfied: "Qin Yunuan, even if you are the county lord given by the Queen Mother, even if you are Leng Changxi's wife, it doesn't mean that you can talk to me in such a tone." ”
"Can't you?" Qin Yunuan stood up indifferently, "Actually, the emperor and Concubine Yun have already colluded, let Concubine Yun privately invite me and Miss Leng to come to check whether Miss Leng used a human skin mask, this is the first step, and then the emperor You appear again, pretending to be extremely angry and looking like you want to speak for me, and then ask to see Leng Shuang, I also have to test Leng Shuang's martial arts path, this is the second step, Your Majesty, you have been suspicious of me and Leng Shuang from the beginning, it was you who agreed to give me a chance to speak, It won't make me feel wronged, so the emperor, do you think I can talk to you in a talented tone? ”
Emperor Zhaoxuan was so angry that he slapped the case: "Qin Yunuan, even though your Jindee Embroidery Village is the first major taxpayer in Daqi and has donated a lot of military salaries, even if you are the granddaughter of Mr. Shangguan and the person I promised Mr. Shangguan to keep, even if you are Leng Changxi's wife, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want." ”
The first time someone openly challenged Emperor Zhaoxuan's judgment like this, the first time someone so bluntly poked at Emperor Zhaoxuan's weaknesses, Emperor Zhaoxuan was too suspicious, even if there was a little clue, he would not let it go, and he had to try it himself;
"I never wanted to do whatever I wanted," Qin Yunuan said indifferently, in fact, the three sentences that Emperor Zhaoxuan said just now have proved that Qin Yunuan has the confidence to speak like this in front of Emperor Zhaoxuan, "I just want to work with the emperor to find out the initiator of this series of events." ”
"Just you? How sure can you do it? Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed very disdainful, he never believed that women could have any clever plans, even the previous Empress Chen, he was just a helper in charge of the chores of the inner palace, especially after the assassination, he was even more reluctant to believe women.
Qin Yunuan smiled slightly: "Just because I'm standing here now, I'm safe and sound." ”
The twilight was fading, and the carriage back to the house drove out of the Suzaku Gate, which had been polished golden by the sunset, and on the high palace gate, there was an inconspicuous man in a black cloak, who was alone in this warm and tender sunset, but the corners of his lips were full of cold smiles.
There was a hurried sound of going upstairs in his ears, and a person dressed as an attendant appeared beside the man, and his tone was extremely respectful: "The third prince, the third young grandmother of King Ning's Mansion and Princess Ning have already left the palace." ”
Sima Rui groaned and didn't speak, and after a while, he retracted his eyes that were cast into the distance, and he said coldly to the visitor: "I already knew, in the future, give me some useful news, if I know it earlier than you, what will I keep you for?" ”
The body of the person who came trembled suddenly, since Liu Bao was no longer by Sima Rui's side, Sima Rui was even more critical of the people around him.
Seeing that the chamberlain was still here, Sima Rui became even more impatient: "Okay, get out." But he thought in his heart, if Liu Bao would definitely know when to step back and when to say something, his side, now there is a lack of someone who understands him, Sima Rui looked at him, his eyes became leisurely, as if he could see a far, far away, and muttered to himself: "Yu Nuan, how can you understand my heart for you?" We're the perfect match. ”
At night, Ning Wangfu gradually sank into this quiet night, the earliest thing to turn off the lights was the courtyard of Xie Ruying in Dongyuan, the winter night became more and more cold, but Xie Ruying still wore a light Luo dress to sleep, the translucent texture was tightly attached to her skin, outlining her graceful figure.
The moonlight poured in from the pane like splashed ink, and a wisp of green smoke with a unique fragrance floated into the room from a hole in the screen window at some point, Xie Ruying was already asleep, and the fragrance made her breathe heavier.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, Xie Ruying didn't know it, but a cold light flashed, but Xie Ruying woke up, it was the moonlight reflected by the dagger.
"Who is it?" Xie Ruying sat up in her clothes, ready to exclaim, but was covered by someone who came, and there was a sentence of compassion in her ear: "A person who wants to take your dog's life." ”
Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce into Xie Ruying's heart, between the knife in his hand, suddenly a copper coin flew in the air, just shooting at the wrist of the person holding the knife, the dagger snapped to the ground, and in an instant, there were dense figures and footsteps on the beams of the house.
Oops, this man sighed in his heart, he was ambushed. The assassin was about to escape, but Xie Ruying suddenly hugged the man's chest tightly, and shouted in his mouth: "Third Young Master, I caught him." Suddenly, the palm of his hand softened, and he seemed to touch something strange, "Are you a woman?" "It's a woman who wants to kill her?
The assassin stunned Xie Ruying with his backhand, and wanted to grab the door, but the people outside had already poured in, and it was the black shadow around Emperor Zhaoxuan who hit him, Leng Changxi immediately entered the house, and said to the black-clothed man who was still in a defensive posture: "The wrist that you can hold the weapon has been injured by me with a copper coin, so just grab it." Leng Changxi's voice suddenly deepened, and he called out to the assassin, "Mother." ”
