Chapter 58—Chapter 59
Just when the three forces were deadlocked, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside, saying that the thirteen princesses were coming.
Dou Mei Shuang? Qin Yunuan's mind suddenly floated out of this woman's name, today's Dou Meishuang is not what it used to be, she is the thirteenth princess of Western Xia, but Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi at this time are nothing.
"You go first, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." Qin Yunuan persuaded the little palace maid to leave, but the little palace maid refused to stop: "I won't kill him, I'm sorry for the master." ”
"You can't kill him, but you gave your life, so that your master doesn't even have a person to burn paper under Jiuquan, and I'm even more sorry for him." Leng Changxi's words made the little palace maid freeze her eyes suddenly, she bit the corner of her lip, and then decisively opened the side window and jumped out.
Almost at the same time, a cool breeze poured in, and the door of the east side hall was opened by two little eunuchs, and it was Dou Meishuang who was standing in gorgeous clothes, no, now it should be called the Thirteen Imperial Princesses.
Dou Meishuang looked anxious, and was even more surprised to see Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi who appeared in the hall for no reason, his slender fingers covered the corners of his lips, and his eyes widened slightly: "Third cousin, cousin-in-law, how are you here?" ”
A harmless appearance of humans and animals can indeed deceive many people.
Leng Changxi glanced back at Jing Yuanchu, who had already hastily cleaned up the mess, and said to Dou Meishuang: "Shouldn't the thirteen imperial concubines be more worried about the safety of the thirteen princes than us?" ”
Dou Meishuang slightly revealed a look of embarrassment, Leng Changxi paced to Dou Meishuang, and only whispered: "Before coming in, didn't the imperial doctor tell the thirteen imperial concubines that the thirteen princes' bodies are weak and can't blow the wind, and the thirteen princes open the palace door like this, making the wind and dust, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Leng Changxi didn't poke Dou Meishuang, but he actually wanted to catch the little palace maid who had just tried to kill Jing Yuanchu, he only glanced back at Jing Yuanchu, and said in a very polite tone: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince to rest first, and I and I will come to visit another day." ”
A visit, to put it bluntly.
But I have to say that it was Leng Changxi who saved Jing Yuanchu, although I don't know why he suddenly appeared in this Xihe Palace, and I don't know why he saved himself, could it be that this fool still has hope for the eldest princess to correct his name? Jing Yuanchu sneered in his heart, he didn't know that Jing Donghua and the eldest princess had already met, he thought that everything was still under his control.
Jing Yuanchu watched Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan leave in a trance, Dou Meishuang stepped forward and carefully pulled the corners of the quilt for Jing Yuanchu, I have to admit that Dou Meishuang is a beauty, under a pair of willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes that shine like stars are dazzling, and a thin layer of fat powder is applied on the face, which sets off the skin and can be broken, this is a stunner, even though Jing Yuanchu is ambitious, but in the face of beauty, he does not hide his coveted color.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" In front of Jing Yuanchu, Dou Meishuang has always been a gentle and generous virtuous wife.
Jing Yuanchu dodged Dou Meishuang's inquiring eyes, Concubine Lian is a person under Zhao Huijin of Eastern Qin, Zhao Huijin and the Dou family have always been inextricably linked, they are allies and partners, although the Dou family has fallen, Zhao Huijin has also been completely eradicated, but so many killers in the world are not killed by killing, Dou Meishuang can persuade Sima Rui to keep her life is the resources in her hands, if Dou Meishuang knows that someone wants to kill Jing Yuanchu, he will definitely ask the reason, when Dou Meishuang knows, Jing Yuanchu not only took in Zhao Huijin's men to escape killers, If you also use deception, the relationship will become complicated;
"It's fine." Jing Yuanchu looked at Dou Meishuang with a smile, "It's just that I just wanted to reach out and pour some tea, so that the wound cracked." Jing Yuanchu smiled and pointed to his left shoulder, which was stained with star blood.
"It's confusing." Dou Meishuang's eyes were disgusted and worried, and Jing Yuanxin's heart moved, "These little things should be left to me to do." Dou Mei said while pouring a cup of warm tea for Jing Yuanchu, and he tasted it first, feeling that the temperature was just right, and then handed it to Jing Yuanchu's lips.
Jing Yuanchu looked at Dou Meishuang's so focused and serious appearance, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Outside, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi walked back along the long palace road.
"The appearance of Dou Meishuang is no accident." Qin Yunuan suddenly came up with such a sentence, "And there must be an internal reason for her not appearing at the banquet." ”
Yes, as a prince and concubine, it is really incomprehensible to be innocently absent.
Leng Changxi nodded, still looking ahead, the two walked to a hidden place, and suddenly, a black figure jumped down from the wall, it was Leng Wu.
"General, the little palace maid is already under control, she left the palace, found an inn to live in, and did not leave Xiliang City, I guess, she wants to wait for the next opportunity."
"Normal." Leng Changxi rubbed the edge of the silver mask, "Since she dares to make a move against Jing Yuanchu in the palace, she is bound to not stop until she achieves her goal." ”
Back at the post house, the eldest princess's room was silent, and the little maid who had just bought it a few days ago was waiting for the eldest princess's soothing decoction at the door, and when she saw Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi coming back, it was as if she had seen a savior.
"Young Master, Young Madam, you can be regarded as back." Leng Changxi claimed to be the eldest princess's righteous son, so he was called the young master.
"As soon as the eldest princess came back, she locked herself in the door and didn't let us in, and this soothing soup was drunk every day according to the recipe."
Leng Changxi waved his hand, let the little maid retreat, took the decoction, pushed open the door, the warm fragrance was curling inside, burning the eldest princess's favorite osmanthus fragrance, and you could vaguely see a person lying obliquely on the bed, with a slender posture and graceful and luxurious.
"Mother." Leng Changxi called softly, this posture turned lazily, the eldest princess casually draped her hair, and her lazy and charming face turned around, the eldest princess is extremely beautiful, even if she is over forty years old, she is so beautiful that people never get tired of looking at it.
Leng Changxi inherited his mother's appearance and his father's internal strength and wisdom, so he was born like this.
"It's time for the medicine." Leng Changxi put the half-warm soothing soup on the small mahogany coffee table on the side, and sat on the pestle to look at the eldest princess.
"I can't drink it" The eldest princess got up, and the thin blanket on her body fell down her shoulder, "Changxi, have you seen Jing Donghua today?" He is so different from the Jing Donghua I knew before, he was so gentle before, I didn't allow him to bake rabbits to eat, he ate sour and small wild fruits with me, I didn't allow him to punish the subordinates who did wrong things at will, he would listen to me, but today, he can casually take a person's life, and he can put the women around him into the water prison at will, I think he is terrible;
。 ”
The eldest princess is pure and good, because the protection of the Emperor and the Queen Mother of Great Qi has not polluted her soul a little, and then under the care of Jing Donghua, she has never had intrigue and power struggle, she can't understand many things, she is like a transparent lotus, she can't survive in such a world at all, sometimes Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi have the same feeling, the eldest princess actually belongs to the Savage Valley, not to the earthly world.
"Mother" Leng Changxi opened softly. "Jing Donghua, in addition to being the man who loved you back then, he is also an emperor, killing and cruelty, is a necessary trait for an emperor, even if it is the so-called Ming Jun, he only knows who to kill and who not to kill, even if it is the so-called benevolent government, it is just a few fewer people."
"Is that so?" The eldest princess looked a little incredulous.
Leng Changxi nodded: "That's the case, you can't just accept that gentle Jing Donghua, you have to accept the fact that he is the emperor of Western Xia, and it is his mission to kill traitors and keep his loyalty." ”
At this moment, a high-pitched female voice suddenly came from outside: "Eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth sent a slave maid to send a new soothing soup, which is a new recipe personally prescribed by Mr. Lu of the house." ”
When Leng Changxi and the eldest princess were talking for a long time in the house, Qin Yunuan had been guarding the door, she looked at the person who came to deliver the medicine to the group, it was none other than Xing'er, Xing'er's expression was calm, as if nothing happened, according to Qin Yunuan's understanding of Xing'er, Xing'er must not have known that her own sister Concubine Lian had an accident in the palace.
Qin Yunuan smiled and moved to Xing'er, looking at the light brown decoction in Xing'er's hand that was more fragrant and pure than before, and asked: "The decoction before this was drunk well, why did His Highness Thirteen think about changing the prescription, as far as I know, Lu Wuyi is good at studying poisons and acupuncture, and he doesn't like to prescribe calming decoctions." ”
Xing'er raised her eyebrows: "I think it's a good recipe that Mr. Lu accidentally discovered." ”
"Since it's a good recipe, then Xing'er, you can take a sip and show me first." Qin Yu's warm and smiling appearance made Xing'er creepy.
"This." Xing'er naturally hesitated.
"How? Can't? ”
"The slave and the maid obey." Without hesitation, Xing'er scooped up a spoonful of the decoction with a spoon, poured it into her mouth in a big gulp, and swallowed it violently.
Qin Yunuan replied with a smile: "Look at your nervous appearance, okay, bring the decoction in, it just so happens that the previous decoction is also cold." ”
Leng Changxi listened to the movement outside, glanced at the eldest princess, and persuaded: "Mother, you haven't eaten for a day, drink this decoction first, how about your son go out and buy you your favorite sugar cake later?" ”
The eldest princess looked at Leng Changxi, who had sincere eyes, nodded slightly, took the decoction handed by Xing'er and drank it all, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "This time, the decoction is very sweet and refreshing." ”
Leng Changxi replied gently: "It's good that my mother is happy." ”
But at dusk, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi Fang accompanied the eldest princess to finish dinner, but news came from the ear room.
"Young Master, Mrs. Xing'er has an accident." The new little maid ran into the house in a panic, panting and said, "I just went into Sister Xing'er's house to get an embroidery shelf, but I found that Sister Xing'er fell on the bed, and blood continued to flow from her eyes and nose, which was terrible. ”
