Chapter 128: Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet (3)
Ouyang Zhen just laughed dumbly when he heard this.
Lin chattered again: "Alas...... Hou Ye is so busy, he has been fighting outside for a few years, and he has no time to supervise the prince to study, so it is no wonder that Mrs. Liu wants to spoil some. ”
Ouyang Zhen just listened quietly, as the old saying goes: "A loving mother has many defeated children." "Liu is sleek and sophisticated, but he is not very good at teaching children.
Because the princess was going to enter the palace on the second day, she enjoyed the moon for a while, and then dispersed early.
Ouyang Zhen was happy, and the next morning he went over to discuss with the Lin family when to leave the house, the Lin family loved the house and the house, and made several small clothes for Lin Xiang, the stitches were very delicate and delicate.
Ouyang Zhen hurriedly asked Wan Hui to bring Lin Xiang to try on clothes, Lin saw that Lin Xiang was pink and cute, full of beauty embryos, and he could recognize a few words at a young age, and he also liked it very much, and sighed: "If I give birth to a daughter and be so cute, my wish in this life will be fulfilled." ”
Ouyang Zhen only smiled lightly: "Maybe Sister Lin is pregnant with a male fetus." ”
Lin's face turned red, and he stroked his stomach and said: "What's so good about the male fetus, if you come out and fight for it, it's not as intimate as a girl, and it doesn't attract envy." ”
The two of them had their own thoughts and changed the subject.
It was almost evening, and suddenly Dexuan broke in with a pale face, and saw that Ouyang Zhen was talking to the Lin family, so he hurriedly pulled Wan Hui and whispered a few words.
Wan Hui hurriedly said to Ouyang Zhen: "Father-in-law Dexuan has something important to tell him. ”
Ouyang Zhen saw that Dexuan's face was pale, he couldn't help wiping his sweat and hurriedly went out.
Seeing that there was no one around, Dexuan knelt down with a "plop" and said tremblingly: "Madam...... Madam, no, someone in 'Xiling Mountain' assassinated the emperor and queen, and the palace gates are now closed...... Outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out!! ”
Ouyang Zhen was shocked, calmed down, pulled him up, her ten fingers tightly clasped his arm, pinched it very tightly, and almost nailed it in.
"What about Master Hou? What about Hou Ye? …… Where did he go?! ”
Dexuan looked around a little panicked, and swallowed before he said, "Master Hou left the city this morning, and I heard that he was going to the northwest camp. Mr. Zhao didn't follow, but he went to the outskirts of Beijing and couldn't come back for a while. What should I do, madam, this day is going to change, and Mr. Zhao didn't say what to do. ”
Ouyang Zhen pursed his lips tightly, and only walked back and forth hurriedly: "Stab? The palace doors are closed? ……”
Rapid thinking brings a slight feeling of vertigo in my head,...... Ouyang Zhen supported his forehead, frowned and pondered, no, calm down! Be calm, although she doesn't know what the situation is, and she doesn't know what is at stake for the women in the Hou Mansion, but she still smells a hint of danger when she is sensitive.
"You go first and then contact Mr. Zhao Da and ask what to do? Will the people in our Hou Mansion be in danger? Just go! Ouyang Zhen hurriedly said, Dexuan answered, and was about to turn around and leave, but Ouyang Zhen hurriedly grabbed him again: "Also, hurry up and pack the package." Just in case, at this time, several of the chief stewards in the house were called. I have something to say to them. ”
Dexuan hurriedly retreated.
Ouyang Zhen saw his figure disappear, so he turned around and went back to the Lin family's hall, hugged Lin Xiang and found an excuse to hurry back to his courtyard.
Several stewards arrived, Ouyang Zhen made a long story short and did not beat around the bush with them, and said solemnly: "Now that there are changes outside, the Hou Ye and the princess and other ladies are not in the mansion, before there is no news, you all take care of your subordinates, lock the four doors of the Hou Mansion, and do not allow people to enter and exit at will." If anyone wants to force his way out of the house, he will have thirty rods! If in doubt, twenty rods! If an outsider enters the house, he is not allowed to let him go, and he is not allowed to enter the house for half a step. This is the case, and all the consequences will wait for the princess to come back, and I will receive the punishment myself. ”
With that, she stood up and glanced at them. With the sharpness of being in a high position, they couldn't help but shrink when they saw it.
Although the stewards were still confused, they were also busy and retreated.
Ouyang Zhen saw that they were gone, so he sat down on the chair in a daze. Wan Hui held a cup of tea, stepped forward and said worriedly: "Madam, don't worry too much, maybe it's not so serious." ”
Ouyang Zhen rubbed the corners of his forehead and said with a wry smile: "My aunt also came out of the palace, and if it is serious, my aunt naturally understands it in her heart." If I don't know a woman, I don't care, so I naturally stay at home to embroider and play the piano, but after three years in the palace, this way of thinking is different from others. Auntie, when will the palace gate be closed? Hou Ye has always been a figure on the cusp, if this thing has nothing to do with him, it was designed by others. I think the world of Chu is about to turn upside down. ”
Wan Hui stopped when she heard this, and retreated to clean up.
Ouyang Zhen leaned on the peony chair carved from sour jujube wood, only to feel his eyelids jump suddenly, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, but he couldn't grasp a clear line of thought.
It was actually the emperor and the queen who were assassinated together, this thing is too weird. Chu Huotian once told her that he went out to fight in his early years, and the affairs of the palace were controlled by the queen, and when he returned to Chu Jingzhong a few years later, the inner courtyard of the palace was already full of the queen's power, and it was almost impossible to install his people.
If what Chu Huotian said was right, then it was impossible for this assassination to target the queen.
Could it be a play played by the queen?
The more Ouyang Zhen thought about it, the more cold sweat she had, she could almost see the danger, no wonder Mr. Zhao Da had to inform Dexuan quickly......
Just thinking about it, Ming Ying ran in with a panicked face: "Madam...... Madam, no, the slave went out to buy something, and saw a lot of officers and soldiers arresting people on the street. It is said that it is to seize the party...... Also, they seem to have come to our Hou Mansion, and they seem to say...... It seems that our side has run into a chaotic party. She was panting and struggling as she spoke. I think I ran all the way back.
Ouyang Zhen's eyelids jumped, and the Hou Mansion was alone in an alley, and Ming Ying said that the officers and soldiers were coming this way, it must be right. Ouyang Zhen settled down and said to her: "You go down first, don't tell others about this, so as not to panic." There is no chaos in the Hou Mansion. ”
As he spoke, he turned into the inner room to change his clothes. Wan Hui was on the side to help. Ouyang Zhen changed into a dark purple embroidered bird palace dress, the skirt was decorated with a tassel twisted into a long gold and silver thread, and the end of the tassel was strung with pearls as big as a little finger, which was very graceful and luxurious. Covered with the same color gold silk translucent smoke Luo Luo clothes.
The head is curled with a startling bun, the hairpin is made of thin gold flowers, the core of the flower is decorated with the same purple gemstones, and two green gold hairpins inlaid with cat's eyes are inserted on both sides, the tail of the golden hairpin is pointed like a sword, and the earlobe has a drop-shaped purple gemstone earring.
