Chapter 147: Seeking a Way Back
Before the words of the junior of the Xiang family were finished, a loud slap fell on his face: "You are embarrassed to say, yesterday I asked you to go to the Four Princes Mansion to pick up people in person, you are good, you went out to drink with your classmates without telling your family, your cousin is also the princess of the Four Princes' Mansion, what is the matter if you let the family come to the Four Princes' Mansion!" ”
The Queen Mother thought that she could catch some flaws from it, but the words of the junior of the Xiang family seemed to be arranged earlier: "Grandmother, I know it's wrong!" I also saw a friend, and I can't leave! After delaying this, I thought that Sister Yan didn't go back to the house yesterday. ”
Xiang took three steps forward to the old lady, covered her own unscrupulous junior, and gave a big salute to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, this person is a junior of the Xiang family, and he doesn't understand these rules in Beijing, so he has no intention of offending!" Xu is because of this that those words that should not be heard in Jingzhong. ”
At that moment, the Queen Mother reacted completely - she was calculated by Xiang Yeqi from the beginning! After pondering for a while, the Queen Mother felt that there was a surge of blood in her heart, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
The old emperor nodded indifferently, but he didn't even open his eyes, and he didn't know if he had listened to Fang Cai's words in his heart.
It's just that this farce did turn the page in a hurry because the queen mother lost face, the queen mother and the queen both retired, and before leaving the palace, the queen took the initiative to show favor to the night: "This palace is talented, it seems that it is difficult for the four princesses, but it is really helpless...... The four princesses want to blame the palace? ”
"How?"
Xiang Yeqi could still hear the deep meaning of the queen's words, not to mention that a few days ago, the queen did tell her useful information, and this bargaining chip to please her was very weighty.
At least her relationship with the queen is one step closer at this time.
"It's good not to blame, if you are the master of the six palaces, you can't take care of those feelings, you can only pay attention to the two words, one is public, and the other is flat, even if the four princesses hate this palace because of this, this palace also recognizes it. I wonder if the fourth princess is willing to go back to the palace with the palace and sit in the palace for a while? ”
The queen looked at Xiang Yeqi's eyes with great meaning, and as soon as she handed out the invitation, the queen felt that there was something invisible in front of her and Xiang Yeqi.
Bo Zhaoxu's gaze.
It was not so much out of hostility to the queen as it was because everyone who approached Xiang Yeqi was full of defense, for fear that someone would hurt his princess.
The queen smiled happily, ignoring Bo Zhaoxu's performance of protecting his wife, and instead focused all her attention on Xiang Yeqi's body: "First, this palace does have some things to say to you, and second, the fourth highness should also have a lot to say to Your Majesty?" This battle situation alone will take a long time. ”
It was rare for Xiang Yeqi to see Bo Zhaoxu so nervous, and when Bo Chengkan repeatedly sent people to kill him, there was no trace of wave on his face, but at this time, he ......
"I'm going to talk to the queen."
Xiang Yeqi shook the hand that he was quietly holding with Bo Zhaoxu, although the person in front of him nodded, but he frowned very quickly, not nervous, but more like an aggrieved and unwilling to part with Xiang Yeqi.
When she arrived at the Queen's Palace, the Queen suddenly smiled and was tired.
"Did you catch someone?"
The queen asked.
Xiang Yeqi was slightly stunned, and almost regarded the queen as the person who came to trick herself, but after thinking about it, if the queen really wanted to trick herself, there was no need to remind herself of those things in the first place.
Therefore, Xiang Yeqi nodded: "I have been caught, and General Xue and his wife will escort them back to Beijing, and they will probably return to the capital after a while." However, the queen mother is probably too worried, even if there is no concubine involved, the fourth highness can return to Beijing safely and catch the traitor. ”
"Does the fourth princess really think so?"
The queen glanced at Yeqi in some surprise, as if she had some deep meaning to point out to Yeqi, but she was not in a hurry to hand over everything to Yeqi, but took great pains to let people set up the chessboard, and began to analyze her thoughts unhurriedly: "Compared with the main palace, the four princesses are an indispensable part. ”
"How? Even if there is no concubine involved, the trap set by the Four Highnesses is enough to capture the traitor. ”
Xiang Yeqi is much more confused than the queen.
"This traitor, but it's the first time you've done it?"
The queen took out the embroidered handkerchief to hide her face and smiled: "Why haven't you been captured alive the first few times, but this time after a lot of calculations, it was taken down instead?" If it weren't for the four princesses who rashly left Beijing to report to the four highnesses, making him mistakenly think that the four highnesses were defenseless, the four princesses felt that he would be so reckless? ”
……
According to what the queen said, if she chooses to wait for Bo Zhaoxu to return to Beijing in Beijing, then Bo Chengkan will definitely not act so rashly, and the outcome of last night's battle may also be completely different variables - maybe it is better, and maybe it is worse.
But what Xiang Yeyan couldn't figure out was how Bo Chengkan would know that he had left Beijing, if this matter could be transmitted to Bo Chengkan, it would definitely be transmitted to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would not be so embarrassed today.
As if she saw that Xiang Yeqi was distracted by some doubts, the queen ate Xiang Yeqi's two sons in one fell swoop and easily won the game.
Xiang Yeqi was about to admit the victory or defeat of this game, when he heard the queen say softly: "Why and when the fourth princess left Beijing is the news revealed by the palace to the second highness." ”
Suddenly, Xiang Yeqi felt that he understood why the queen was so sincere to him, and he still had unspeakable resistance to the queen.
The appreciation in the queen's mouth has always made Xiang Ye's back cold, probably these two know that no matter how sincere they are when exchanging information with each other, there can be no sincerity, especially the queen, she only regards Xiang Yeqi as a part of the chess game, and if you want to achieve your goal, Xiang Yeqi is an indispensable link.
Probably seeing that Xiang Yeqi was silent for a long time, the queen said indifferently: "What, the fourth princess is surprised?" Or - worried that Hongu will harm you? ”
It only took a short time for Xiang Yeqi to figure out the pros and cons and shook his head.
It's not that I don't know what the other party is, so why pretend to be a fairy here, and look ridiculous that I don't know the world.
"The intention of the queen's mother, the concubine is probably clear." Xiang Yeqi looked at the queen slightly, "From today on, the concubine is bound by this matter, if there is a place that can help the queen's mother, you speak." ”
"The times are turbulent, how dare this palace have those wishful thoughts and vain attempts to set off a storm in the palace......"
The queen sighed slowly, as if she had no energy: "Xiang, this palace wants you to swear." ”
"What?"
Xiang Yeqi's emotions were implicated by the queen's mother, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and even a little powerless and too cautious in this game.
"This palace wants you to swear, what this palace said today, you dare to say half a word to the outside, and there will be thunder and thunder that day, and you will not die well! If this palace is implicated by you, it will definitely pull you together and go to a desperate situation together. ”
When Xiang Yeqi heard this, he laughed twice unwillingly, he didn't have much friendship with the queen, why did the queen have to "die" with him?
She doesn't listen to this, okay?
Seeing the queen's attitude of wanting to really break the net with herself, Xiang Yeqi felt that she still had to listen to this, thinking of this, Xiang Yeqi immediately made a gesture of swearing, and cleared his throat very solemnly: "I swear to Yeqi today that I will not leak half a word of what the queen mother said, otherwise it will ......"
"Wait."
The queen frowned for some reason, and hastily interrupted the oath that had not yet been made to Yeqi, and it was true that Xiang Yeqi felt that it was indeed a bit embarrassing to say that he "must not die well".
She was the queen of conscience, and she felt that this kind of oath was not appropriate.
"This oath is indeed a little embarrassing...... "The queen pondered alone for a moment, "unless her life is endangered, the four princesses are not allowed to say half a word." If it's time to put your life in danger, weigh it yourself! ”
Looking at it this way, the queen is not so bad, in such an era when surgery will be regarded as murder, it is normal for the queen to trust God and fate. The heavenly punishment for breaking the oath may not befall Xiang Yeqi, but the queen's hesitation about this oath still won Xiang Yeqi's trust.
At least swear that this matter is no longer so resistant to the Night.
"I swear to the night that I am here today that except when my life is endangered, if I leak half of what the queen mother said, I will be hit by five thunders, and the sky will be thundered, and I will not die well."
After taking the oath, the queen's attitude was much more sincere: "This palace will be honest with you. ”
The relationship between Xiang Yeqi and the queen has also taken a step closer, and the woman in front of her is by no means just the mother of a country on weekdays.
"When this palace told you about this, I didn't think that you and the fourth highness could easily settle this matter, if it wasn't for the four princes to take precautions, otherwise what this palace did was to deceive you to death. Whether it is the traitor captured by the fourth prince, or the traitor who got the information from the mouth of the palace, it is all beneficial and harmless to the palace. ”
Dealing with someone like the queen is really a headache, Xiang Yeqi took the leisure to rub the sore part of his forehead, and muttered casually: "The queen could have stopped talking about this." ”
Yes, if the queen doesn't reveal her true face to Xiang Yeqi, even if Xiang Yeqi is aware of it, she can still be easily used, at least, to maintain a superficial harmony. By saying this, the queen was throwing away all the opportunities she could deceive into trusting the night.
"This is the sincerity of this palace."
The queen took a sip of tea, her eyebrows were heroic, as if she had changed someone: "This palace is not afraid that you know what kind of person this palace is, whether it is a poisonous woman with a femme fatale heart, or a powerful person who does not have a word of credibility, you can tell for yourself." After this incident, this palace also saw clearly which side to stand on if it wanted to gain a firm foothold in the future. ”
