Chapter 120: Inducement of Luo Lingze
When Xue Chu'er received the edict from the eunuch, she already knew what was going on.
Even if there is a decree from the concubine, Guo Ju still has to ask the emperor for a decree when he enters the Penglai Palace as a foreign man, so Xue Chuer enters the palace first to meet the concubine.
Nianyun had already been waiting in the Penglai Palace, and after a few casual greetings, he sent the palace maids and eunuchs down, and the two entered the apse to talk secretly.
Xue Chu'er came prepared, and without waiting for Nianyun to speak, she smiled and bent her knees to bend her knees, "Niangniang must be for that Xiangshi, Chu'er is willing to share her worries for Niangniang." ”
She said this a little too much, Nianyun understood what she meant, and without saying how to share her worries, Zhengse asked, "What does Mrs. Xue want?" ”
Xue Chu'er didn't shirk either, and looked at Nianyun: "Chu'er can be by San Lang's side, and I don't dare to say that Zuo Zhongfeng feeds, but I just took the word 'madam' from the people below." Chu'er didn't ask for it, she just hoped that Niangniang could reward her with a fate. ”
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the wives and mothers of officials can be canonized, but only the main wife and the peaceful wife can be canonized, and the concubines will never have such glory.
The woman in the workshop is from a low background, even if she has redeemed herself, she is still not even allowed to be a concubine, even if she marries an ordinary person, if the lady of the main room dies, she cannot be called "Mrs." by Fuzheng.
Guo Yan is an official of the imperial court, but he is a concubine, and there is no equal wife around him, even if Xue Chuer is canonized, her status is far from being comparable to Princess Hanyang.
She begged for such an edict, just to show the Guo family's recognition of her, and to completely break away from the music and get some due respect.
That's not a lot of demand. Nian Yun Yingxia: "Okay." This palace will find a father-in-law for you among the clansmen of the Xue clan in Hedong, and then canonize you as the county king. ”
Since the Han Dynasty, the Hedong Xue family has been one of the six famous families in Guannei, and Xue Shao, the concubine of Princess Taiping, came from the Xue family in Hedong.
If Xue Chu'er recognized a stepfather in the clan of the Xue clan in Hedong, she would be able to completely get rid of the identity of the exiled musician. At that time, as the daughter of the Xue family, she married the Guo family as a concubine, and this county monarch was also canonized, and her status was not the same.
Xue Chu'er hurriedly bowed down: "Chu'er thanked the concubine for her grace, and she will definitely solve problems for her mother." ”
At this time, a report came from outside that the captain of the horse was coming, and Nian Yun hurriedly greeted Xue Chu'er together.
Guo Yan saw that the two of them came out of the inner hall, and said with a smile: "What did Nianyun say to Chu'er, hiding in the mysterious spirit?" ”
Nian Yun took Chu'er's hand and said with a smile: "Naturally, I said something about myself among women, and I can't tell my brother." ”
At that moment, the three of them discussed some words in the inner hall, and Nian Yun left the two of them to have dinner in the Penglai Hall before going back.
The night is very thick, a bend of the moon is half hidden and half exposed, there is not much clear light, barely illuminating the bluestone road in the palace forbidden, and it is a little difficult to see the depth under the shade of black and dark shrubs.
Four black-clothed men carried a small dark blue sedan chair tightly wrapped on all sides and quickly walked under the palace wall, and the thick felt-soled shoes landed steadily on the ground step by step, barely making a sound.
The small sedan chair was carried all the way to the court bureau, and then the sedan chair was dropped, and the black-clothed man who carried the sedan chair neatly lifted the sedan curtain, and helped the first woman wearing the clothes of a jailer to get off the sedan chair.
The man in black asked in a low voice, "Have you remembered everything you want to say?" ”
The woman nodded: "Remember, don't forget the money you promised me." ”
The man in black tore off the black cloth covering her face, and took out a pair of jade pendants from his sleeve and gave it to her: "Take it first, and I'll give it to you after the rest is done." ”
The woman had been blindfolded, and she did not feel very dark, so she lifted up the jade pendant, looked at it by the faint moonlight, and saw that the carving was very exquisite, and the jade was also very clear, so she took it into her arms with satisfaction.
The man in black pointed to a room in front of him: "Go in." ”
The room was dimly lit, so the occupants didn't realize that there was a one-foot-square gap in the top of the north wall, but it was just paper of the same color.
On the other side of the room, Nian Yun and Li Chun were both wearing wide black robes embroidered with delicate patterns, sitting in a relatively spacious room and drinking tea silently.
At this time, the two people drinking tea heard the door of the closed room open softly, and a woman lowered her voice and called softly: "Luo Lang, Luo Lang? ”
When the man locked up in the house heard it, he seemed to rush to the edge of the railing, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant due to thirst and silence for a long time, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice: "Lianyu? Is Lianyu you? ”
The woman let out a low "shh......h
The man sighed: "I have fallen to such a situation, but you are still willing to come to see me...... and then asked: "How did you get in, where am I locked up?" ”
The woman replied softly: "This is the prison of the Criminal Department. After a pause, he explained: "There is a sister in the slave family who is friendly with Lang Jun of the Criminal Department, and the slave family has entrusted a lot of favors, so I want to see Luo Lang." What big thing did Luo Lang commit, how did he provoke these terrible Yamas? ”
The man was silent for a long time, and then said, "Didn't I tell you earlier, I did something earth-shattering!" ”
The woman snorted and sneered: "What's a big deal, didn't Lang Jun steal something from the palace!" ”
The man snorted and said, "Lianyu, don't you treat me as a person who does big things!" I told you a long time ago, I was entrusted by the people around the Emperor Taishang to find Qinzhou Taishou to help. If it is successful, you will have to be a national teacher, and you will have money to redeem you......"
The woman said: "What kind of national teacher, there is such a good thing, how did you get arrested?" ”
The man was silent for a long time before he said, "This is not ...... Isn't this what Qinzhou Taishou gave to the pit, who knew that the bird was so timid as a mouse! ”
The woman snorted delicately and said, "Lang Jun only knows how to coax people." The slaves didn't believe it before, and they still don't believe it now. Who is the Emperor Taishang, how could he find Lang Jun! ”
Seeing that she didn't believe it, the man was a little anxious, so he cursed: "Lianyu, if you lie to you, you will be hit by five thunderbolts!" When have I ever lied to you! If you don't believe it, I'll show you, I have a rheumatic plaster on my body, and the white hemp can be covered with the private seal of the emperor, so it is hidden in the plaster and pasted, so Qinzhou is too shou to believe me, I don't dare to show it to him! ”
Li Chun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two in the next room, held the teacup more and more hard, and his bones turned white. Nianyun silently walked up to him, took his hand to reassure him, and motioned for him to continue listening.
I heard the man say again: "I told you a long time ago that I know the nobles in the imperial city, isn't it nonsense?" ”
The woman seemed frightened and did not say anything for a long time.
The man seemed to think of something again, and said hurriedly: "Lianyu, since you can come in, simply help me again, and when the matter is completed, you will be indispensable for glory and wealth, and I will definitely ask the Emperor Taishang for an edict, so that you can be the lady of the main room......"
The woman seemed to think for a while before asking, "How can I help?" ”
The man said: "You take this white hemp out for me, find a reliable person to go to Xichuan for me, and find Liu Pi, the new successor of Xichuan, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, ......."
I only heard the crisp sound of "bang" porcelain breaking from next door, a man and a woman in this room were startled, and before the man could react, the woman had already taken two steps back, completely ignoring the man's outstretched hand across the railing, slammed open the door and ran out, holding tightly the white hemp life that the man had just shown her.
The man in the room watched in horror as the door closed again, and he heard a very majestic voice next door, commanding with full anger: "Enough, escort to the prison of the criminal department overnight!" ”
He has already heard everything he should have said, and he doesn't have to say anything more.
Nian Yun gently reached out and stroked his back: "Your Majesty is angry......"
Your Majesty......
When Luo Lingze heard those words, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
The woman named Lianyu ran out of the house with Bai Ma in her hand, and there were still four black-clothed people waiting for her outside. One of them stretched out his hand to her, and Lianyu honestly gave him the white hemp in his hand.
The man in black took it, opened it in the faint light, and confirmed that it was correct, so he took it in his arms, still blindfolded her with a black cloth, and helped her into the small sedan chair parked beside her.
The light outside was still very dim, very dim, and the man in black did not speak, so Lian Yu did not notice that the four men in black were no longer the four before.
The small sedan chair carried by the four people walked for a while and then fell off the sedan chair. Lianyu faintly felt in her heart that she seemed to be farther away when she came, and was about to ask, but the man in black had already pulled her off the sedan chair.
Lianyu hurriedly tore off the black cloth on her face, but found that this was a strange place, it seemed to be a deserted courtyard, and there was a well in front of it, not Pingkangfang. She panicked and blurted out, "They promised me ......"
The black-clad man's hand was quick, like a rope, and grabbed her throat, causing half of her words to get stuck in her chest.
"They promised to let you go, but our family didn't! Our family wants your life, and Your Majesty wants your life too! The voice of the man in black is neither male nor female, yin and yang, and it looks very terrifying in this dark night, which makes people have goosebumps.
The head of the eunuch dressed in black glanced at this stupid woman who was obsessed with wealth with pity, and added some strength to his hand.
Knowing these royal secrets, do you think you can still have your life to spend money!
Lianyu only felt that her eyes were dark, and her body gradually lost control and fell softly. The chief eunuch took out the two jade pendants from her arms, waved his hand behind him, and the two little eunuchs behind him picked her up like chickens, raised their hands, and threw them into the well with a "bang".
When the splash in the well fell silent, the eunuch leader glanced into the well, and made sure that there was no sound, so he gently patted his sleeve and said softly: "Back!" ”
silently carried the sedan chair back to his life.
