Chapter 349: The Mysterious Man
The midsummer has passed, leaving only a wreckage, and the wind is no longer mixed with that warm feeling, but cold, so that people have to retreat.
Ye Zhenzhen counted the days and stayed quietly in the palace, sometimes taking Zhilan's every move to heart, thinking carefully, and not long after, Nangong Mu brought back a question that she was most concerned about.
"The imperial doctor said that Concubine De's delivery date is just a few days away, but I'm afraid that the palace will be restless again."
Nangong Mu had just returned to the palace, and before she could change out of her court clothes, she saw Ye Zhenzhen coming up, so she said preconceivedly.
"That's also the blessing of Concubine De, it's just a son and a daughter, if another prince is born, I'm afraid that the concubine position is also enough."
Ye Zhenzhen understood why Nangong Mu said this, in the past, Concubine De was eyeing the palace, if she wasn't pregnant, I was afraid that the palace would not have a peaceful life.
Ye Zhenzhen spent a lot of effort to make Emperor Daqing have concerns and fears about Concubine De, and get rid of her forces as much as possible, but who knows that everything she did may be wasted because of Concubine De's womb, after all, Emperor Daqing still has some pity for his own flesh and blood, just like Nangong Mu, he has a stable position now, and he relies on the emperor to miss the old.
"The current situation is quite optimistic, and the concubine is also very disdainful of Concubine De, the children in the palace are already difficult to live, but I am afraid that there will be blood and rain in the palace for a while."
Nangong Mu looked at Ye Zhenzhen and frowned, for fear that she would affect the fetus in her womb, so she tried to persuade her.
"The lady just stays in the house, don't do anything, just wait for the situation in the palace, this time I asked Imperial Doctor Zhou to prepare you with a new fetal pill, from decoction to drinking, all by the ghost shadow guard, so as not to let others take advantage of the loophole."
Nangong Mu draped a thin cloak on Ye Zhenzhen's shoulder, and then held her hand and said affectionately.
Within three days, when the sunset was refreshing, she suddenly saw a commotion in the ghost guard, and Ye Zhenzhen looked at Nangong Mu beside her with some worry.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates just got the news that Concubine De Niangniang launched tonight, and all the imperial doctors in the palace gathered in Yanxi Palace, I'm afraid that there will be a toss tonight."
After Gao Wei heard what happened from the mouth of the ghost shadow guard, he hurriedly reported it to Nangong Mu.
"We'd better not interfere in the affairs of the palace, my father is a shrewd person, but if he does anything in private, he can't escape his eyes, and this king has no way to do it to his brothers and sisters, so let her fend for herself."
Hearing that Concubine De gave birth, Nangong Mu's eyes flashed helplessly, and then he said calmly, although he knew that Nangong Hui would become his biggest enemy sooner or later, and the battle for the crown prince would be indispensable with open guns and hidden swords, but in the end, the child in Concubine De's womb was innocent, how could he attack the innocent child in order to target Concubine De.
"There is a royal doctor in the palace staring, withdraw all the ghost shadow guards, so as not to involve the palace when you get it, the prince is also tired today, it is better to talk about General Zhenxiong and Yan Guo."
Ye Zhenzhen and Nangong Mu thought the same, so in order to make him more relaxed, she took the initiative to involve the topic to the side, and there is another important thing at the moment, that is, Shangguan Yiyi's marriage, the affairs of Yanguo cannot be solved in one day, and Shangguan Yiyi is still trapped in dire straits.
"My father has persuaded General Zhenxiong to prepare to conjure up the eastern troops of Yan State, and then let Liu Dutong attack from behind, and is now deploying troops."
When it comes to the war in Yan Kingdom, Nangong Mu is still peaceful, and recently Emperor Daqing and several princes have burned their eyebrows because of the affairs of Yan Kingdom, but Nangong Mu is calm and calm.
"Now that we've talked about the alliance, I'm afraid that Yiyi's marriage is also imminent."
Ye Zhenzhen is half happy and half worried, happy that the people of Daqing can finally get out, and worried that once General Zhenxiong agrees to Hezong, then Shangguan Yiyi's marriage is inevitable, but I am afraid that as soon as Hezong ends, Shangguan Yiyi will have to leave Beijing with tears in tears and go to the small tribe to be General Zhenxiong's wife.
"Listen to the emperor's meaning, I'm afraid that this matter can't be saved, right now Shangguan Yiyi is one of the most famous county lords in the capital, marrying her to General Zhenxiong is the best cage, the royal daughter is gone, so you can only rely on the county lord to support face, not to mention that General Zhenxiong seems to like Yiyi very much, this marriage may not be wronged Shangguan County Lord."
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's sad and taciturn appearance, Nangong Mu felt distressed in his heart, only to see him hug Ye Zhenzhen, and then analyzed it from another angle, hoping that Ye Zhenzhen could look away a little, many things cannot be changed, Shangguan Yiyi should know that she is no different from the royal princess, and sooner or later she will have to dedicate her life to the country and the family, but now the time has come.
"But what Yiyi really likes is Gongzi Quan, I have also seen Gongzi Quan, both civil and military, with an extremely handsome face, this is the person that my daughter's family really likes, I am afraid that Yiyi will not be wronged if she marries in the past, but she can't accept it."
How could Ye Zhenzhen not understand everything Nangong Mu said, it's a pity that she still prefers Shangguan Yiyi, from the first moment she met Shangguan Yiyi, she understood that this girl lives freely and really dares to be herself, she is not the kind of person who restricts herself for the sake of rules and regulations, how can you force her to marry someone she doesn't like?
The two talked very sadly, and the surrounding atmosphere was also very low, the ghost guards stared everywhere with wide eyes, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, the moonlight was very cold, and in the palace, there were bursts of pain, and the palace maids sent hot water into Yanxi Palace in waves.
Ye Zhenzhen looked up at the miserable bright moon, and knew that tonight must not be a stable night, just when she was a little sleepy, suddenly there was an extremely subtle footsteps, she hurriedly looked back, but found that there was nothing in the dark, just thought that she was panicked and heard it wrong.
"Lady, go back and rest first, this king still has some recitals and recitals that have not been finished, and I will go back after finishing these things later, Qingju, Zhilan, you two take the princess back."
Nangong Mu touched Ye Zhenzhen's head dotingly, seeing that she was a little sleepy, then she commanded the two girls, Ye Zhenzhen nodded obediently, and then took the initiative to walk towards the bedroom, Zhilan and Qingju hurriedly followed behind her, and beat the lantern high.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were confused, and she couldn't see the road in front of her clearly, at this time, several cold arrows swished from nowhere, Ye Zhenzhen panicked, turned her head suddenly, and then found that a sharp sword appeared in front of her eyes, and then she heard a few clicks, and several cold arrows fell at her feet.
It happened too suddenly, and when Qingju and Zhilan reacted, it was already too late, and the two hurriedly blocked in front of Ye Zhenzhen, looking around in panic.
Ye Zhenzhen woke up in an instant, and when she saw the person who came, her expression was even more panicked, and she saw a very delicate man standing in front of her, holding a sword in his hand, which was the person who had just blocked those cold arrows.
He was wearing a coarse linen robe, he didn't look like a person from the capital, and there was a trace of cold arrogance around him, standing in the distance and glancing at her coldly, without saying a word.
There were bursts of gurgling sounds in the grass, and Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly looked around, but she still had no clue.
The moonlight was very light, with the lanterns in the hands of Qingju and Zhilan, they couldn't see anything clearly, and the ghost guards were shuttling in secret, so that Ye Zhenzhen was very confused, who had just passed.
"Who are you? Thank you for saving me, I don't know what you call it? ”
Everything around quieted down, and Ye Zhenzhen settled down at this time, staring at the person in front of her seriously, and asked as gratefully as possible.
After a while, the ghost shadow guards who went out to catch people hurriedly returned, and when they saw a man standing in front of Ye Zhenzhen, they put knives around his neck, and several people surrounded him.
Although the person in front of her saved herself, Ye Zhenzhen didn't know anything about him, so she didn't stop the Ghost Shadow Guard's action, but Zhilan, when she saw that the person was surrounded, she was a little nervous.
"I don't need to know the name below, I'm afraid it will pollute my mother's ears."
That person's temperament was cold, and he had a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, even if there were several knives on his neck, he was still unmoved, and there was no trace of nervousness, I saw him looking at Ye Zhenzhen's direction and said coldly, extremely detached.
"Miss, he's not a bad person, Miss just let him go."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't say a word, her eyes revealed a dangerous light, Zhilan waited for a long time, and she also had some feelings with her, only to see her plop down and kneel down, and said to Ye Zhenzhen in fear.
Only then did Ye Zhenzhen understand that she was afraid that the person who helped her block the cold arrow must have something to do with Zhilan, and after thinking about it, Ye Zhenzhen still let the person go and led him and Zhilan all to the house.
As soon as she arrived in the house, Ye Zhenzhen felt a stuffy feeling coming, so she gestured to Qingju with her eyes, Qingju hurriedly walked to the low table, took the fan, and was about to gently fan Ye Zhenzhen, but the person suddenly became excited, raised the sword in his hand, and quickly knocked off the fan in Qingju's hand.
Qingju had never been so close to the blade of the sword, and was directly frightened on the spot, at a loss, Ye Zhenzhen was also startled, but after seeing that Qingju was unscathed, she put a hanging heart back into her stomach.
"Niangniang forgive the sin, this fan can't be used, I'm afraid that many things in this house can't be used."
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's panicked look, the man said this impatiently.
