Chapter 177: Walking the Water
"Hurry, hurry."
Anxious voices came through the door, followed by a rush of footsteps that showed no signs of stopping.
Xiao Liyue, who finally adjusted her mood and was ready to fall asleep, sat up with a gloomy face, and Shuang'er, who went out to inspect, also quietly closed the door and slowly walked into the house.
Without waiting for Xiao Liyue to ask, she spoke: "Listening to those palace ladies outside, it should be Concubine Shu's side that is out of the water." ”
"Oh." With a shallow word, Xiao Liyue turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
Something suddenly flashed in his mind, and he got up without the slightest warning, and scared the frost on the side so much that he almost exclaimed.
"Concubine Shu's water over there?" She roared out almost subconsciously, and her face became extremely solemn.
Who doesn't know that Concubine Shu is most famous for her singing voice, which was originally a Jiangnan tune, which made the emperor fall in love with her. can go from such a humble status step by step to such a high existence as Concubine Shu.
Seeing that the banquet is about to start, this sudden water walk must not be simple.
Perhaps, if she guessed correctly, this matter is inseparable from Queen Lin.
"Let's go and see."
Anyway, I can't sleep at night, so it's better to go and see the situation, after all, Concubine Shu does take extra care of herself, no matter what the reason, she, as a junior, still has to go.
After a brief tidying up, he put on a pale yellow coat and hurriedly walked in the direction where Concubine Shu was.
There was still a long way to go, and you could see the flames rushing into the sky, as if to light up the sky.
Xiao Liyue quickened her pace, and when she arrived at her destination, there was already a row of female dependents around her. Naturally, the leader was Queen Lin, the lord of the harem, who was sitting quietly beside Concubine Shu at this time, comforting her softly.
"Sister Shufei, how can you be so careless? It's been cold lately, and it's the season for the fire, so you have to be more careful. This water is no more than anything else, the fire is burning, and nothing is left. ”
The queen was dressed in a reddish-brown palace dress at this time, which looked even more gorgeous and dazzling under the reflection of the flames. The jewelry that should be worn on weekdays is neatly worn on the body, and it really doesn't look like getting up from the bed in the middle of the night and rushing here.
It seems that I had expected this fire today, so I dressed up carefully and waited quietly in the house for the show to begin.
Although the thoughts in her heart were confirmed little by little, Xiao Liyue did not say it.
Everyone knows that she and Queen Lin don't deal with each other, and if this kind of thing is brought up by her, I'm afraid she will be charged with deliberately insulting the queen.
can only frown slightly, quietly watching her play the same sister on the side.
Soon, the emperor who got the news hurried to this place, although his clothes were neat, but his hair was obviously a little messy. It must have taken the shortest time to get here as soon as possible, which confirmed Xiao Liyue's thoughts.
"This ...... What's going on? The emperor glanced at the palace, where the fire had not abated, and his face was angry, and he asked everyone fiercely.
It is rare to see the emperor so angry, and the surrounding ladies all lowered their heads and looked cautious. On the contrary, it makes people more and more angry.
Only the queen stood up slowly, without panicking at all: "It must have been the time to bake the charcoal fire, and those subordinates didn't notice." The fire was started by a charcoal fire that burned the clothes scraps in the vicinity. ”
Simple offcuts? The queen is inevitably too good at making up stories. How could ordinary clothes scraps cause such a big fire, if you guessed correctly, it should be arson. Xiao Liyue kept slandering in her heart.
"These dog minions, don't I give them enough money on weekdays? It made such a big disaster. There are green veins on the emperor's forehead, which shows that he has a strong dissatisfaction in his heart.
Xiao Liyue caught a glimpse of an inexplicable smile sliding across the corners of the queen's mouth, and the next second she heard her say: "Your Majesty, these dog minions are not doing their jobs well, and today there is a water walk, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow." For the safety of the concubine, it is better to change a group of minions. As for these ......."
Her eyes were a little resentful, and she looked at the people who were trembling on the ground, and raised her eyes indifferently: "Just pull down and cut off your head to show the public." ”
There is no nostalgia between the words, as if these people have really committed some heinous crime.
"No!" An abrupt voice sounded, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
I saw Xiao Liyue slowly walking out of the crowd, and the big stool on his body was about to appear under the light of the fire.
"Xiao Liyue? I'm talking to the emperor, what are you talking about here? The moment the queen saw her, she was angry and spoke coldly.
Xiao Liyue ignored her question. She is not like the characters in this palace, everyone is so good at acting.
"Father, if you directly drag these people down and behead them, it is really too inappropriate." Walking in front of the emperor in a few steps, Xiao Liyue had already knelt down, bowing her head and sincerely saying what was in her heart.
"Wrong? These dog minions burned the entire Shufei Palace, almost killing the Shufei here. Such a big crime, how dare you say that it is inappropriate? In your eyes, is the life of these dog minions not as good as that of the concubine, or do you think that these people are innocent? ”
The queen pressed forward step by step,-for-tat, and the seriousness of her words clearly showed that she wanted Xiao Liyue to drip into troubled waters once.
The latter suddenly laughed: "As far as I know, this fire started suddenly, and no one knows who set it until now." How can you conclude that these people and no one else were the ones who set the fire? ”
"Presumptuous!"
"Also, these people are all old people from the Shufei Palace, and they have been with Shufei for a long time. Concubine Shu has always been gentle and kind, and she has no strict treatment of her subordinates, why does it make these old people dissatisfied? In my opinion, there must be something strange about this. Xiao Liyue looked at the emperor expectantly, hoping that he could understand the meaning of his words and let go of the punishment of these people for the time being.
Queen Lin obviously didn't expect that someone would dismantle the stage in front of her, her face was blue with anger, and her fingers were clenched tightly. I believe that if the emperor wasn't here, she would definitely go up and slap the other party a few times.
"Ahem." A slightly hoarse cough came from below, and Concubine Shu, who had fainted from the smoke, woke up, looked at the majestic figure in front of her, and struggled to get up from the ground, "Your Majesty...... The emperor is auspicious. ”
As soon as she spoke, her face instantly became cloudy, and she couldn't help but touch her neck with her hand.
The voice that has always been clear and beautiful has taken on a thick hoarse timbre at this time, and it sounds a little terrifying.
"My voice ......." Concubine Shu's face changed greatly, and her voice was even more dyed with a touch of crying, which fell on everyone's ears with such noise. Even the emperor, who usually pampers her, can't help but show a trace of disgust.
Xiao Liyue hurriedly leaned over and gently patted her back with her hand to show reassurance: "Don't worry, Concubine Shu, it's just that she was smoked by the thick smoke in the fire." I believe that as long as you let the imperial doctor take a good look, it won't take a few days to recover as before. ”
"Really...... It's true? Concubine Shu looked at her with a little uncertainty in her eyes.
Others may not know, but she can feel it clearly. Every time he said a word, it was as if something was blocking his neck, and a faint smell of blood came from it, as if something was gradually destroying.
Xiao Liyue didn't dare to guarantee it, and smiled indifferently at this time: "Really." ”
Empress Lin obviously couldn't get used to this kind of drama similar to sisterhood, so she just intervened when everyone was moved: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has become ill like this, and the Concubine Shu Palace has been destroyed, so it is better to let her go to my house to live for a while, so that someone can be sent for diagnosis and treatment." ”
The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he must not have a good heart.
Before the person reached the hands of Queen Lin, he had already become what he is now. If it passes, maybe one day it will be gone.
Concubine Shu intends to show favor to herself, although I don't know if she has other purposes, but based on this, she Xiao Liyue is in control.
Anyway, Queen Lin has already stiffened to a certain extent, and she doesn't mind one more thing. Anyway, no matter whether this thing is done or not, the other party already wants to get rid of himself.
"Father, have you forgotten that there is a banquet to be held recently? The queen must be very tired from these things on weekdays, and if she goes back, she still has to take care of the concubine, wouldn't it be too hard? On the contrary, there is no one to disturb me on weekdays, so wouldn't it be better to let the lady live with me? ”
Both of them looked at the emperor fixedly, and no one was willing to give in.
After muttering for a long time, the emperor turned his head in the direction of Concubine Shu: "Do you think it's better to go somewhere?" ”
"The queen is too busy dealing with the harem, and I still don't bother when I'm sick and tired." The results are already clear.
"Alright, let's move in now." I don't know if it's because Concubine Shu's voice has become extremely weird, or because the emperor is really too tired. After dropping these words, he walked slowly towards his palace alone.
The emperor has already left, and the other concubines no longer put on makeup. It happened that at the entrance of the crowded hall, there were only a few people left at this time.
Xiao Liyue saw that Empress Lin was still standing in place, and couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, why are you still standing here?" Didn't the emperor already say that you should prepare the banquet well. With this lesson in mind, you have to be careful not to accidentally let the cloth scraps get contaminated with charcoal fire, causing the fireworks to spread throughout the banquet. ”
Her words were extremely secondary, obviously mocking the queen's words just now.
Hearing what the other party meant, Queen Lin snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves and left directly, and before leaving, she didn't forget to leave a cruel sentence: "Xiao Liyue, you wait for me." One day, you'll know what happens to me. ”
"Is it over? I think I've seen it, isn't that what happened today? Her voice grew louder, and she spoke her thoughts unconcernedly, as if she had no fear of it.
After all, it's already been to such an extent, and it's not her character to hide it.
