067, the dust will settle
"Damn, I'm going to have to see everything."
The boulevard sprinkled a little moonlight, and the figure of the cat stood up straight with the light on his back, supporting his somewhat sore back.
There are a lot of chores during the New Year's Festival, running errands back and forth, people can be tired and thin several times, but Chang Fu looked at the few dogs who were in charge of people, but they were fat and big-eared, and they were very moisturized.
"If you're dead, you have to bother Lao Tzu, phew."
Chang Fu scolded in a low voice, he did things for Concubine Hui Guifei secretly, and Jinbao's father-in-law also said that now is not a good time, Niangniang needs someone to stay here, and he can't attract attention, this is the time to test his loyalty, as long as he gets the trust of Niangniang in the future, he will have everything.
Chang Fu remembered these words, nodded and was busy all day long, and now this group of people is even more excessive, let him come to this small broken pool to see if there is any loose place where the stones are loose, it is best to step on it again to try to slip or not slip his feet, what has just happened, you have to be careful everywhere.
Holding chicken feathers as arrows, deliberately tossing people to show it to the above, just such a small broken pool, which noble person will come, and he doesn't want to cheat in this palace.
If it's really cheating, sliding down can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Isn't it because he served the Wen family?
He also entered the door of the Chengxi Palace for two days, although no one knew about it.
Chang Fu's heart was on fire, and he scolded the Wen family a few words in his mouth, and if he died, he would still affect them minions, which was really a completely useless thing.
If she really expected the Wen family to take them to a good life, I'm afraid they all have to be buried with her now.
It's not as good as Ruyi's girl, she deserves to die in that cold palace.
After scolding a few words, Chang Fu felt a little relieved, and seeing that there was no one around, he sat down after kicking the stones on the shore a few times, and he would rather blow a cold wind in this place than want to go back so early.
Today, he just hooked up with Hai Chang in the daytime, I really don't know what Qingchun, a slave who just went to the Huanxi Bureau, can help Shanghai Changzai, Chang Fu sighed, thinking that the next time he sees that kid, he must remind him, don't think that if you don't run errands together now, you dare to have any thoughts.
Chang Fu rubbed his hands, I don't know if it was because of the wind, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly climbed up.
What if Qingchun went behind his back to please his master?
But that kid doesn't seem to have that mind.
But people will always change, when he was in Langjing Palace, he could only rely on himself, and now that he is in the outside world, he is forced to be ruthless, and he may be able to inspire some terrible thoughts.
Chang Fu thought so, and felt that he should still go to the Huanxi Bureau to find Qingchun.
I don't know what he did for Hai Chang, this place is far away from the center of the palace, and any news over there can't reach the ears of their subordinates.
Chang Fu suddenly felt as if he was going farther and farther, from the big eunuch who was often by the side of the little master, to the miscellaneous sweeps hidden in the Chengxi Palace, and now he had to run errands for the inferior slaves, no matter how he pondered, it was very wrong.
can think that today's hardships are blessings in the future, and Chang Fu feels that it is nothing to endure some hardships.
He stood up, patted the dirt off his pants, took advantage of the night and the excitement of the palace, put his hand into his wide sleeve to keep warm, and walked in the direction of the Huanxi Bureau.
It's very secluded along the way, Chang Fu walks along the path, and he doesn't really want to meet people.
When I arrived near the knitting bureau, I heard the sound of palace maids and eunuchs talking quietly together, and at this time the masters all gathered together to have fun, and the people below could also be lazy.
Chang Fu slowed his steps lightly and quietly leaned towards the wall.
"Haven't those guys come back yet?" A little palace maid suddenly spoke, and her tone sounded a little panicked, "If we can't ask anything, will we also be affected?" I took another one with me just now, I think it's a new arrival, what the hell is this? ”
Chang Fu's pupils tightened.
New to the new arrival?
Captured?
Who hasn't come back yet?
Is there something wrong with the ruined land of the Huanxi Bureau?
Chang Fu was full of questions, and continued to listen more attentively.
"Who knows, but we didn't touch the embroidery, we can't blame it, in this palace, we still have to be reasonable, it's impossible to catch everyone, what to do that makes people panic, you just relax your heart." The other eunuch comforted the palace maid who was about to cry, and the others also echoed and said that the palace maid felt a little more relieved.
"I said that it is not easy to follow the Wen family to serve by his side, you can see for yourself, that Ke is always here, since the canonization promise, all kinds of strange things can be touched, it is not good! Look at this newcomer, just a few days after arriving, he was arrested again! There was a cold palace sinner woman in the east courtyard of Langjing Palace, which was really unlucky, and I don't know which little master would be so unlucky to live in it in the future, and she was full of bad luck. A voice heard the palace maid who was older last year twitching twice, very disdainful, "Look, one by one, none of them will end well!" ”
"You old sister, you are really chattering all day long, and everyone is always there! Don't have good fortune yet? If you want to say that Ke Chang is his life and killed the old master, there is still some credibility. ”
A group of people got together and talked nonsense, and soon laughed again, and the little worry just now had already been thrown out of the clouds.
Chang Fu's eyes rolled and caught a few key words.
Embroidery, cold palace.
It seems that the newcomer who was captured in their mouths is Qingchun.
Chang Fu's face turned a little pale, patted his heart, and thought to himself that it was good that he came late, why is this kid so unreliable to help Hai Chang do things? After finishing in the morning and being taken away in the evening, I don't know if he can withstand the torture.
He doesn't. Confess yourself, huh?!
The more Chang Fu thought about it, the more frightened he felt, Qingchun, this kid with fine skin and tender meat, followed him in Langjing Palace to enjoy happiness, compared to other minions, he didn't suffer anything, he went in and was whipped twice, I'm afraid he said everything.
Chang Fu leaned against the wall, felt that his legs were a little weak, and almost slipped and sat down.
Listening to what they said, Qingchun should have been arrested for a while, and at this time, the people in charge of the execution department should be looking for him everywhere, right?
Chang Fu took a deep breath, and his messy brain began to work.
He has to find someone, yes, he has to find Father-in-law Jinbao, and now in this situation, he has to tell Father-in-law Jinbao and let him save himself!
Chang Fu turned around and walked in the direction of Chengxi Palace, he picked up the path and walked, so that he would not be found in general, when he walked to the dark place under the arch bridge, Chang Fu suddenly stopped, and subconsciously felt that there seemed to be some movement over there.
His brain was a little dull, and when he reacted, the lantern over there had been raised, and the person standing on the arched bridge saw Chang Fu below with a side face, and when he saw that he didn't even see people clearly, he turned around to run, Yunlu laughed, and asked people to drag Chang Fu to the bottom of the arch bridge to talk.
Like a frightened mouse, it seems that he already knows about Qingchun's arrest.
The execution department has naturally been punished, but Qingchun has received a lot of promises and benefits from Haichang, and the family members outside the palace can become worry-free overnight, which is a very good bargaining chip for people like them, not to mention, Qingchun also has a brother who is a good gambler, with this money, the whole family can breathe a sigh of relief, and. Hai Chang said that he would keep him, he just needed to grit his teeth and hold on during the torture, and hold on until it was almost dawn.
A night of torture for half a life of worry-free, this deal is very cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
Chang Fu couldn't run away, and after being surrounded by people, he was instantly gagged and dragged to the dark place under the arch bridge.
He was so frightened that tears and snot were everywhere, and after seeing clearly who the person in front of him was, he didn't pee his pants on the spot.
The person who came was the Yunlu girl who introduced Qingchun to Hai Chang when he was there, and she was Hai Chang's personal palace maid, and she was also Hai Changzai's personal maid who brought her into the palace from home.
Yun Lu stood in front of him at this time and sighed very lightly: "I'm afraid of this, and I still want to do things for the masters?" ”
Chang Fu was let go, and quickly knelt down, and gave Yunlu a succession: "Miss Yunlu, you save me, that bastard in Qingchun was arrested, I'm afraid I will have to give it out!" If the slave is involved in the little master.。。 ”
Yun Lu laughed when she heard this: "Involved in the little master? You have such a big breath, what are you, and you can still involve our little master? ”
Chang Fu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped himself twice: "Yes, yes, the slave is speechless, but I know that little apprentice of mine, he can't stand the punishment, Miss Yunlu!" ”
Yun Lu stood to the side, afraid that Chang Fu would dirty his skirt: "If the benefits are enough, you can stand everything, right?" ”
Chang Fu was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something.
However, Yunlu didn't give him any time to think, and said in a deep voice: "You naturally want to enter the execution department, not only do you have to enter, but after being beaten, after listening to Qingchun's confession, you have to scold and cry bitterly, understand?" ”
Chang Fu didn't understand, and his head shook like a rattle.
Yunlu continued: "You have a deep relationship with the master and servant of the Wen family, even if the old master is gone, the heart is still towards the old master, the slave of the Huan Wash Bureau bullied and looked down on the Wen family, and was known by Ke Chang, Ke Chang wanted to hide the silver needle in the embroidery, originally planned to find it by himself, and then slammed the slave of the Huan Wash Bureau for the Wen family's anger, but I didn't expect the silver needle to be pierced in the hand of the Min Min woman, you really can't stand it, you can only tell the truth." ”
Chang Fu opened his mouth slightly, and went through Yunlu's words in his mind several times before he finally understood something.
But there are also difficulties in this matter, Chang Fu has a bitter face: "But I was with Qingchun at that time. . . It's not like a master and servant relationship with Wen. ”
Yun Lu looked at him with an idiot look: "You insisted that the master and servant are in deep love, how do others know?!" ”
Chang Fu swallowed his saliva: "There are other people from Langjing Palace, and Ke Chang is also here." ”
Yun Lu chuckled lightly when she heard this: "Ke Chang is trying to escape his own crimes, so he will naturally try his best to cover it up, and he refuses to admit it, her two palace maids are facing her, and everyone has their own opinions, do you think that Princess Rui will believe your words that are tortured and asked, or will she believe Ke Chang's words that are not painful?" ”
Chang Fu carefully understood the meaning of Yun Lu's words, and after half a sound, he showed a smile of sudden realization: "I understand!" ”
Yunlu raised her eyebrows and said: "Since you understand, go back quickly, when the day is about to dawn, the person in charge of the execution department will take you away, pretend to be panicked, don't show your feet, this matter is done, naturally there are benefits for you, remember?" ”
Chang Fu responded repeatedly, and waited for Yunlu to slowly walk away with a group of people, before he breathed a sigh of relief and came to his senses.
Hai Chang is determined to attack Ruyi, she should have aimed at the son Yongyan and the daughter of the world Minmin early in the morning, no matter who it is, as long as she touches the needle when playing, even if the children don't go to play, Hai Changzai can also find a way to lead the child over, not to mention that the child's nature is like this, how can he bear it when he sees something new?
And Princess Rui has never been easy to dismiss.
Tonight's night was as peaceful as usual for most people, nothing out of the ordinary.
Jingchen sat alone in the study for a while, and on the way back to the bedroom, he raised his eyes and looked at the moon in the sky.
The scenery is very good, but Jingchen's mood is very heavy.
When he pushed open the door and entered, Jingchen moved very lightly, thinking that the queen and Yuelang were already asleep.
As a result, after entering, he found that the candlestick was lit up a few more, and with the sound of the door closing, the candlelight inside gradually approached him, and the queen put on her coat and entered Jingchen's sight.
The candlelight illuminated the queen's face very gently, her eyes were deep, she looked at Jingchen, and called him in a very soft voice: "Your Majesty." ”
Jingchen was suddenly stunned, then strode forward and took the queen's hand: "Are you waiting?" ”
Her hands were slightly cold, and it seemed that she had been up for a while.
The queen didn't answer Jingchen's words, but just looked at him worriedly, as if she could really understand the sadness in his heart: "Is the emperor worried about Ke Chang's presence?" In fact, today's matter, the concubine also felt that there were a lot of strange things, and she came. Some are too weird. ”
Jingchen lowered his eyes, and said after half a ring: "There are always people who don't like her." ”
The queen chuckled: "But the emperor likes it." ”
Jingchen didn't deny it, and the queen continued: "The emperor likes it, and the concubines naturally like it too, but the New Year is busy, and the concubines really don't care about it." ”
Jingchen clenched the queen's hand, and then let go, no matter how sincere these words were, but at least at this moment, Jingchen felt relieved.
"Is it cold?" Jingchen pulled the queen to the house, put down the candlestick, and helped her warm her hands.
It's been a long time since the two have sat and talked so intimately, and the queen couldn't help but stare at Jingchen's side face, and whispered that she was not cold, she just didn't want to break the beauty of this moment.
"When the concubines first entered the palace, they also lit candles and waited for the emperor at night." When the queen talked about the past, her eyes were a little bright, and she couldn't stop the blush and smile on her face, "At that time, the emperor was dealing with things in the study, and the concubines asked people to simmer soup and wait for the emperor to come over, and the emperor would also talk to the concubines while drinking, and ask the concubines if they were cold. Just like now. ”
Jingchen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the queen still remembered these little things, in fact, he didn't think much of it himself, but he just felt that the current atmosphere didn't seem to be suitable for saying things that he didn't remember, so he could only smile: "The soup you made tastes good." ”
The queen probably knew Jingchen's careful thoughts, and she didn't break it, but just said softly: "I am ready to wait every time, but the emperor does not necessarily come over every time." ”
Jingchen was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, it seemed that he had more and more things, and there were more and more women around him, and most of the time he and the queen just ate and talked, and there were fewer and fewer times to stay overnight.
He enjoyed the virtuous grace of the queen and took it for granted, he regarded her as his wife, and asked her to do what a wife should do, but he did not give her the warmth and love that a wife should have.
Jingchen thought that he couldn't do it, but he finally came to the queen's palace once, but he was troubled in the study, it was indeed too hurtful, no wonder the queen couldn't sleep, no matter who it was, seeing her husband by her side, but her heart was nine days away, I was afraid that she would be so uncomfortable that she couldn't sleep.
But the queen is a very smart person, she will never be like Hui Guifei with the arrogance of her high-ranking lady, she is the queen in front of outsiders, and in front of Jingchen, she can always be gentle and soft.
No matter how painful and uncomfortable her heart is, the queen can understand rationally that her own noise and questioning will only push Jingchen away, on the contrary, her generosity and tolerance will make Jingchen feel more pity for herself.
For example, now, Jingchen will start to reflect on her own badness, instead of saying it out of her mouth and complaining to each other.
"It's not good." Jingchen pulled the coat on the side and put it on the queen, "Originally... The people who should accompany you and Yuelang more have already come over, and they are still thinking about other people's affairs, which is really unfair to you. ”
The queen chuckled and pulled Jingchen's coat tightly, leaned over to Jingchen's side, and leaned on Jingchen's shoulder: "The concubine is the emperor's wife, no matter what, no matter when, the concubine understands the emperor and understands the emperor, and will never blame the emperor, as long as the emperor remembers, the concubine will always have a lamp left for the emperor, no matter when the emperor wants to talk to the concubine, the concubine is willing to listen, it is enough." ”
Jingchen gently put his arm around the queen's shoulders and answered vaguely.
It's not that he doesn't understand the virtues of the queen.
It's not that I don't understand why the queen is virtuous.
But from the beginning, it was not a pure marriage, and the queen's love was destined to always carry her honor and utilitarianism.
has never entered the heart, even if the two are close, it is never possible to get closer.
Just like Jingchen's guilt towards the queen, it can only be guilt forever.
They can be respectful couples.
But it can never be a lover with a harmonious soul.
The queen desperately wanted to enter Jingchen's heart, and for this, she would do whatever it takes.
She still wants.
She has to give birth to a prince for Jingchen, for herself, and for the Tong family.
She always believed that as long as she had a prince, Jingchen's heart would settle sooner or later, and she understood that his final destination was only the bright hall of Fengyang Palace.
understands that she is the only one who will be by his side and wait for him forever.
