Chapter 27: The Great Feast
After You went back, she told He Nanshuang that she had found something.
He Nanshuang was very surprised, she didn't expect them to dare to do this!
In this way, if they fail, the price will not only be paid for their lives, but also for the loss of the country.
He Nanshuang wondered if he should talk to Helian Zhuyao and let him make some preparations.
After all, he is still in the same boat as Helian Zhuyao now, if Helian Zhuyao burps, then he is not far from burping.
Forget it, I'll be a good person again, He Nanshuang thought to herself.
"Let's go, go to the Imperial Study." He Nanshuang said to You Shame.
He Nanshuang was just about to take You Zhen to find Helian Zhuyao, but something happened again.
The next person came to report that it was the Queen Mother who invited the queen mother to go to Muran Palace.
There is no way, this matter has been delayed like this.
He Nanshuang heard that the Queen Mother was looking for her, and her heart trembled, although she was not afraid of what happened to the Queen Mother, the main thing was that this person was too mysterious and couldn't find anything, and people knew us very well.
The so-called enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and this has to be guarded against.
He Nanshuang went to Muran Palace a little apprehensively.
"See the Queen Mother."
"Get up."
He Nanshuang stood there and did not speak, and the Queen Mother did not speak. The two of them just stood all the time.
In the end, He Nanshuang felt that he was a junior and took the initiative to speak.
"I wonder why the Queen Mother came to me today?"
When the Queen Mother saw He Nanshuang speak, she also began to speak.
"You have also seen the arrival of the envoys of the neighboring countries today, and you need to preside over the banquet in the evening, so I don't need to teach you how to do it. If you don't entertain the envoys of neighboring countries, I think you know what the consequences are. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, I will entertain the envoys of the neighboring countries well, and I will not disgrace the royal family."
"It's better if you do what you say and go down." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and waved to He Nanshuang.
"Yes, then the daughter-in-law will not disturb the queen mother's rest."
After He Nanshuang left with Youshuang.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes, looked at the direction He Nanshuang left, and said to her personal maid Qing'er: "Qing'er, do you think I shouldn't treat her the same way they treated Lian'er?" ”
Qing'er served the Queen Mother when she was a young lady at home, and it can be said that Qing'er was the Queen Mother's intimate confidant. Even if Qing'er dies, she will not betray the Queen Mother, if it is put in modern times, it is definitely a good girlfriend.
Qing'er didn't know how to answer when she saw the Queen Mother say this.
"Miss, you can do what you want, what Miss does is what Miss does, and Miss will also think about the little emperor and grandson." Qing'er comforted the Queen Mother like this.
Because Qing'er has been following the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother allowed her to call herself Miss all the time.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything after listening to Qing'er's words, so she was there alone in a daze.
When Qing'er saw the Queen Mother like this, she knew that she remembered the good days before.
Good days are always short-lived.
After He Nanshuang went back, she thought about it for a while, and always felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, a small country that comes to our country and begs us to do things will end up having a temper worse than us, as if we were begging them to do things.
Why? Who gave them so much courage?
Why does the Queen Mother value the envoys of neighboring countries so much? Is there something between them?
He Nanshuang thought about it in her heart for a while, but she didn't understand what was going on.
Forget it, let's pay more attention tonight, I always feel like something big is going to happen today.
"I am especially ashamed, I ordered to go down, let the brothers in the church cheer up today, and pay attention to safety, I have a bad premonition, and I always feel that something is going to happen. Let's prepare first, and then we will talk about what happens when the time comes, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”
"Yes." After listening to He Nanshuang's instructions, he was just about to give an order, but He Nanshuang stopped him and said, "Also, send some people to secretly protect Helian Zhuyao." ”
You Nanshuang laughed when he heard He Nanshuang say that he wanted someone to protect Helian Zhuyao, He Nanshuang smiled when he saw You, he was a little embarrassed, but in a blink of an eye, he made a very fierce look, "Don't hurry up, it's too late, I'll ask you." ”
"Yes, hall master, I'll go now, and I'll send out the order you ordered to send someone to protect the emperor." I am especially ashamed to joke that He Nanshuang arrived.
"You little girl, your skills are getting better, you dare to make fun of me." He Nanshuang made a look of being ashamed.
"The subordinates don't dare, how dare the subordinates make fun of the hall master."
"Don't go yet."
"Yes." After You Shame finished speaking, she hurried out, she also knew that this matter might be more serious, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Helian Zhuyao's side also gave such an order.
However, what Helian Zhuyao didn't know was that He Nanshuang sent people to protect him.
"Chu Xi, don't follow me today, your main task is to protect the queen mother, if the queen mother has any mistakes, you will wait for me."
When Chu Yan heard that Helian Zhuyao didn't let him protect him today, he immediately disagreed, and said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates think that your subordinates should protect the emperor today, after all, this envoy is not good, if you don't worry, I will send more people to the queen's side." ”
"No, you go to protect, don't worry, if something happens to my little queen, what's the point of me living, what's the point, even if there is this country, there is no one who wants to accompany it, what is the use of this country." Helian Zhuyao said.
Chu Xi also wanted to say that he wanted to protect Helian Zhuyao, but before he could say it, Helian Zhuyao said: "This is an order, and you are not allowed to refuse." I'll take care of myself. ”
When Chu Yan saw Helian Zhuyao say this, and he hadn't used the word "I" yet, he knew that Helian Zhuyao was not treating himself as a subordinate now, but a brother.
In fact, Helian Zhuyao did not give an order, but a request, because Helian Zhuyao knew that he couldn't get out of his body, and the Queen Mother would take action today, although He Nanshuang was a seventh-order, there were quite a few eighth-order masters in the palace, so he didn't worry about He Nanshuang.
"Yes, the subordinates must protect the queen's mother, if the queen's mother is missing a hair, the subordinates will come to see it."
Seeing that Chu Yan agreed, Helian Zhuyao patted Chu Yan on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and waved his hand at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan went out.
After Chu Yan went out, Helian Zhuyao stood there, staring into the distance, "Queen Mother, do you really want to continue like this?" Big brother has been ...... by you Do you really want to see that happen? ”
In the evening, the ministers had already come, and the ministers chatted with the ministers they had befriended, talking about state affairs and family affairs, and it was very lively, waiting for the envoys of the neighboring countries to join Helian Zhuyao and He Nanshuang and the Queen Mother.
He Nanshuang came with Helian Zhuyao and the envoys of neighboring countries.
"See the emperor, the queen, the emperor, the queen, the queen, the queen!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Helian Zhuyao said.
"Emperor Xie!" The ministers all got up.
"Today we are a party, everyone speaks freely, there is no superiority today, everyone eats and drinks."
"Yes." Then the ministers wanted to say that just now, but no one dared to really eat and drink, and they were all looking at Helian Zhuyao's side.
The Queen Mother never came, and Helian Zhuyao was about to send someone to take a look, and Qing'er arrived at the banquet.
Qing'er walked to Helian Zhuyao's side and said softly to Helian Zhuyao: "The Queen Mother is not feeling well, so I won't come to the banquet today, the Queen Mother asked me to talk to the emperor, hoping that the emperor and the Queen Mother will entertain the envoys of neighboring countries well." ”
After Qing'er finished speaking, Helian Zhuyao said: "Since the queen mother is not feeling well, then take a good rest and let the imperial doctor take a look at it in a while." ”
After Helian Zhuyao finished speaking, he asked Qing'er to go back.
After Qing'er left, Helian Zhuyao said to the ministers and the envoys of neighboring countries: "The Queen Mother is a little unwell, so she will not come to the banquet, and the Queen Mother also specially instructed me to treat the envoys well." Helian Zhuyao said as he paid attention to the reaction of the envoy from the neighboring country.
After listening to what Helian Zhuyao said, the middle-aged man said: "Thank you for the love of the Empress Dowager, since the Empress Dowager is unwell, she doesn't need to attend the banquet, can the Imperial Doctor go to see it?" If the emperor doesn't mind, there are people with more advanced medical skills in the people I brought, and if the emperor can trust me, I will let them show the queen mother. ”
What the middle-aged man said was very sincere.
"Since the envoy said so, won't it be a little troublesome for them?" Helian Zhuyao pretended to be a little troublesome to you.
"It's not troublesome, it's our honor to be able to contribute to the Queen Mother." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he said something to a younger man beside him.
"Then the emperor has thanked the envoy here, if the queen mother's illness is cured, I will be greatly rewarded." After Helian Zhuyao finished speaking, he asked people to take the young man to the queen mother's bedroom.
He Nanshuang sat there and watched them all the time, not saying a word. Watching the emissaries' reactions has been observed. It always felt like something was wrong.
After the young man left, Helian Zhuyao took the lead in raising his glass and said, "Come, we salute the envoys of the neighboring countries, who have come to our country thousands of miles away. ”
The ministers also raised their glasses, and the middle-aged man said, "Thank you for the emperor's love." ”
After everyone saw Helian Zhuyao drink this cup of wine, they also drank this cup of wine.
Helian Zhuyao began to talk to the envoy about something and nothing.
The ministers saw that the emperor was chatting, so they also chatted, and the scene was lively.
After a while, the young man who had treated the Queen Mother returned.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has no problems with her body, but she is a little infected with wind and cold, I have prescribed some medicine, and the Queen Mother fell asleep after eating it. I also prescribed some health care medicines for the Queen Mother, which can make the Queen Mother's body better. ”
"Well, I'll reward you heavily. Someone came, and rewarded the messenger with ten thousand taels of gold. ”
"Your Majesty." The young man said to Helian Zhuyao.
