Chapter 133: Fighting
Yun Rongjue is not in Chang'an, the huge Chang'an City seems to be peaceful, but in fact-
Dark waves are turbulent.
In the government, Yun Feng suppressed Yun Huang and Yuan Jing and others for various reasons, so that several people could not refute it.
Although Yun Huang followed Yun Rongjue to help in court politics, he was not as effective as Yuan Jing, he was suppressed by Yun Feng, and he didn't care about himself, but Yuan Jing was different, Yuan Jing and Yun Rongjue have always cooperated well with each other.
Now that Yuan Jing has also been suppressed, Yun Feng's intention to suppress Yun Rongjue is obvious.
"Your Highness, the concubine has boiled some soup to replenish her body, Your Highness can use some." He Baoqi walked in with a soup bowl and saw Yunhuang's face full of displeasure.
Although she didn't understand the affairs of the court and politics, she knew that he was in a hurry recently.
Yun Huang glanced at it lightly, his expression was very cold, and his emotions were the same, "Let it go." ”
He Baoqi wanted to say something more, but when he was indifferent to Shangyunhuang's eyes without a trace of emotion, the words in his mouth were forced to swallow.
At night, the two slept together, but they had different dreams in the same bed, and occasionally a few times, she saw him sleepless in the middle of the night, stopped by the window, and heard the murmur in his mouth, he remembered Yun Rongjue, and also deeply remembered and worried about Jiang Wu.
After the death of the first emperor, the harem should be a concubine, and there was no princess and prince to be buried together, and those who gave birth to princes and princesses were all made concubines, and He Wanqi and Wu Yumei lived in the harem.
"Pockie is here." He Wanqi was happy to see He Baoqi, pulled her to sit down, and chatted with her.
"What's the matter, you seem to be preoccupied, did you quarrel with Huang'er?" He Wanqi saw He Baoqi's depressed mood and asked with concern.
He Baoqi hurriedly shook his head, "No." ”
He Wanqi smiled and said: "You girl, your heart is on your face, can you still hide it from your mother, is it not Huang'er or willful, it's not good for you?" ”
He Baoqi didn't immediately deny it, she twisted her hands together, and her emotions were a little sad, "Mother, Baoqi knows that when she married His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness didn't agree because he liked Baoqi, and all along, Baoqi also wanted to work hard to change His Highness's feelings for Baoqi, but it was so difficult to ......"
She tried her best to play the role of a good princess, cared about him, and wanted to slowly melt his heart, but his heart made her feel hard and cold as stone, no matter how hard she tried, it seemed to be useless.
This frustrated her.
He Wanqi looked at He Baoqi fixedly, and reached out to cover her hand, "The concubine understands your thoughts, these are what the concubine has experienced before, it is indeed not easy." ”
He Baoqi was slightly flustered, "The mother concubine has also experienced it?" But isn't the emperor very fond of his mother? ”
He Wanqi smiled, "What you see in the eyes of outsiders may be like this, but in fact...... Not. ”
"The emperor was kind to me and gave me a noble position, but because the mother family behind me was the Helan clan, and the emperor gave me enough dignity, which is equivalent to giving the Helan clan dignity, so that Da Liang and the Helan clan can be friendly for a longer time."
He Baoqi was surprised, she always thought that her aunt was favored by the emperor.
He Wanqi sighed lightly, "Baoqi, if you and Huang'er can have a child, maybe it will change a lot." ”
"Kid?"
He Baoqi was stunned, and his eyebrows were tangled together, "But His Highness is indifferent to me, our children, I'm afraid His Highness won't like it." ”
There is a saying called love house and Wu, Yunhuang doesn't love her, how can she love her children.
He Wanqi chuckled, "Huang'er and the emperor are different, they have different personalities, and Huang'er now only has Baoqi and you are a princess, I believe that the mother concubine, Huang'er likes children, if you have a child, the relationship between you will also change because of this child." ”
He Baoqi was actually not sure in his heart, even if Yunhuang liked children, but now that they were sleeping together, he had not touched her again.
He Wanqi listened to He Baoqi's words, her gentle face sank slightly, and she slowly started after a long time: "This matter, there is a mother, you don't need to worry." ”
He Baoqi didn't know what He Wanqi meant by this, even if it was His Royal Highness's mother's concubine, I was afraid that this matter would not be persecuted.
Around the time of the unitary hour, the dining room was ready for dinner, and He Baoqi arranged it, and when Yunhuang came back, he greeted him obediently and sensibly.
Yunhuang still did not respond to He Baoqi's enthusiasm as always.
The two of them had dinner quietly as usual.
After a while of dinner, the grandmother beside He Wanqi begged to see her, and brought a pot of wine and two side dishes, "His Royal Highness King Shu, today the small kitchen has made some fresh side dishes, this wine was brought by the envoy of the concubine Niangniang's mother when she saw it, and it tasted very good, so the concubine asked the slave maid to send some tasting to His Royal Highness and the princess." ”
He Baoqi subconsciously lifted his eyes, how did the concubine suddenly send wine and food.
Suddenly, she thought of what He Wanqi said to her during the day, could it be-
After Mama brought the dishes and wine and left, He Baoqi stared at the jade wine jug on the table and couldn't help swallowing.
"Your Highness, try the side dishes sent by the concubine." She took a chopstick to Yunhuang.
Although Yunhuang didn't have any emotion, he didn't refuse, and picked it up and ate it.
After the two of them ate a few bites, He Baoqi poured out the wine, "Your Highness, the concubine respects Your Highness." ”
Yun Huang glanced at it lightly and said in a cool voice: "This hall is not going to drink today." ”
He Baoqi was slightly stunned, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Actually, the concubine doesn't plan to drink it today, but this wine and food are the concubine's thoughts, this wine is fragrant enough, I think it must be an excellent wine, Your Highness, let's drink a little, otherwise it will not be good to live up to the concubine's kindness." ”
He Baoqi is words of persuasion, but they fell into Yunhuang's ears, which was more like a kind of pressure, and He Wanqi put pressure on him.
He looked at the woman in front of him, the corners of his thin lips curled slightly, and he picked up the wine glass after sneering, "The princess has moved out of the concubine, and the palace can't drink it." There was sarcasm in his words.
He Baoqi sank his emotions.
Yun Huang gestured to He Baoqi with a wine glass, then raised his head and drank the wine.
This night, Tingxue Hall was not peaceful.
Early the next morning, He Baoqi opened her eyes and looked at the man next to her, all kinds of clarity from last night came to mind, making her face blush, and a sense of shyness filled her heart, but more importantly, satisfaction.
In less than a moment, Yun Huang woke up, his dark eyes rolling to look around, and then sat up straight. He Baoqi also sat up.
Yun Huang didn't say anything, put on his boots, and stood up, "Where is Your Highness going?" He Baoqi was in a hurry.
"Going to court." As he spoke, he walked to the wide hanger, picked up the court clothes, and put them on by himself.
He Baoqi hurriedly got down, didn't care about the discomfort on his body, and walked to Yun Huang's side, "Your Royal Highness's concubine is waiting for you." She reached out and picked up Yunhuang's waistband.
"No, you don't." Yun Huang took the waist seal from her hand and tied it around her waist.
During his dressing, He Baoqi repeatedly wanted to intervene, but he ruthlessly refused.
After changing clothes, Yun Huang walked straight out of the hall, and when he walked to the door of the hall, he stopped, and his voice was as cold as the cold wind of the moon.
He Baoqi stood in place in a daze, and Yunhuang's words kept echoing in his ears.
——— you will do whatever it takes to achieve your own ends.
"Your Highness is in a bad mood today." Yuan Jing saw Yun Huang's emotions.
Yunhuang didn't deliberately hide it, and said lightly: "Being forced to do something you don't like, can you be in a good mood." ”
Yuan Jing didn't know what Yun Huang was talking about, but persuaded: "This person will have many involuntary bodies in the world, especially people like us, even more involuntarily, some things, we can't do it as we like, but we can't suffer ourselves, Your Highness wants to open some." ”
Yun Huang waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about these unpleasant things," he raised his eyes, looked at the long palace road, and sighed: "I don't know how the fifth brother is doing now." ”
Yuan Jing's calm expression was a little heavy, "I'm afraid it's not good." ”
"The emperor took advantage of the time when the fifth brother was not in Chang'an, and frequently pressured and suppressed us and the ministers who valued the fifth brother in the past, and the decisions were becoming more and more arbitrary, and I am afraid that the days after this will become more and more difficult." Yun Huang sighed.
Yuan Jing was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said slowly, "Things must be reversed, Your Highness has heard of it." ”
Yunhuang blinked an eye, and the moment the two looked at each other, they knew each other.
"Let's go, we've been idle these days, since there's nothing for us to do, let's relax and relax, Yanhelou has pushed a lot of new wine and new dishes, let's try it." Yuan Jing said with a smile.
Not far after the two of them passed through the imperial garden, they saw Xiao Qijin.
"Lord Xiao seems to have been entering the palace quite frequently recently." Yun Huang said.
Yuan Jing raised his chin, "Yes, Lord Xiao has been going to Changle Palace from time to time recently, in addition to entering the palace to meet the emperor. ”
"Changle Palace?" Yun Huang was puzzled, "What is he doing in Changle Palace?" ”
"I heard that Lord Xiao saved the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden, and since then, the Queen Mother has always been grateful to Lord Xiao for rewarding him with a lot of things, I heard that a few days ago, the Queen Mother was in poor health, and the doctor came to see that it was not cured, and then it was Lord Xiao who heard about it, and offered a secret recipe for Chizhou, and the Queen Mother's phoenix body has improved."
"Because of this, the Queen Mother values Lord Xiao more and likes it, saying that the two are in love, so when Lord Xiao enters the palace, the Queen Mother will summon her to Changle Palace to talk."
Yun Huang listened and couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "This Queen Mother is really strange, she is like that to the fifth brother, but she is so good to an irrelevant person, even if this Lord Xiao has helped a few times, the fifth brother has always been respectful and filial to the Queen Mother, but I don't see the Queen Mother being kind to the fifth brother." ”
Yuan Jing sighed, patted Yunhuang's shoulder, and the two retracted their gaze and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Changle Palace.
Chu Yin saw the indifference on Xiao Qijin's face suddenly disappear, replaced by a gentle smile. She took out Yun Feng and the good things offered by others to Xiao Qijin.
"The Queen Mother, these things are still kept by the Queen Mother, Xiao is ashamed."
"Lord Xiao, you have helped the mourning family many times, these are just a little bit of the mourning family's heart, don't shirk it, adults."
"The Queen Mother's words are serious, and Xiao is also a gesture, and he doesn't dare to talk about it."
"Don't be surprised, Lord Xiao, on the one hand, the mourning family is grateful to Lord Xiao for his help to the mourning family, on the other hand, the mourning family feels that they are quite close to Lord Xiao, can Lord Xiao know that the mourning family once had a child who died young?"
Xiao Qijin bowed his head, "Xiao has heard something." ”
Chu Yin looked at Xiao Qijin, his face was full of tenderness, and his voice was filled with a lot of helplessness and sadness.
"That was the first child of the mourning family, the child on the tip of the mourning family's heart, but he was born not long after he was born...... died early, for so many years, the mourning family has been living in pain, and there is no way to get out of the pain of losing a child. ”
Xiao Qijin listened to Chu Yin's words and felt pity for Chu Yin.
"The Queen Mother, of course, is sad to lose, but it is not a good thing to be obsessed with the past, too obsessed with the past will make people sad and sad, and more than 20 years have passed since this incident, the Queen Mother should still look forward and not be too sad." Xiao Qijin said.
Chu Yin looked at Xiao Qijin and resisted the impulse in his heart, "Yes, what Lord Xiao said is that the mourning family is time to let go, Lord Xiao, the mourning family knows, you are an orphan, I wonder if Lord Xiao has ever thought about finding a biological mother?" ”
Xiao Qijin smiled faintly and shook his head.
"Why? Doesn't Lord Xiao want to find his mother? ”
Xiao Qijin's face was relieved, "This is not what Xiao wants or not, for more than 20 years, it is not easy to find, not to mention, if my mother didn't want me at the beginning, even if I found it, what could I do?" It's just adding some chaos to the current life. ”
Chu Yin breathed heavily, and blurted out his words, "If your mother doesn't want you to do what she wants?" Maybe she has a hard time, or maybe she's been looking for you for so many years?! ”
"Mother." Caitang coughed lightly.
Chu Yin knew that he was out of shape, eased his emotions, and pulled out a smile, "Lord Xiao forgive me, the mourning family is a moment of emotion." ”
"Xiao understands that what the Queen Mother said is reasonable, but what the Queen Mother said and what Xiao said are all possible speculations, since they are all possible, wouldn't it be better to go with the flow, if God has the heart to reunite Xiao's mother and son, then this day will come no matter what, if there is no intention, even if Xiao tries hard, I am afraid that it will be useless."
Chu Yin let out a long sigh.
"The Queen Mother, Xiao thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, and I will leave today."
Chu Yin blinked and bowed his head, "Caixia, send Master Xiao out." ”
Chu Yin couldn't help but follow behind, watching Xiao Qijin's figure disappear behind the long road, before retracting his gaze and turning into the main hall.
"Niangniang, there are many people in this palace, do you want it, or do you rarely see Lord Xiao." Caitang said worriedly.
"How many people are mixed? What are the mourning families afraid of? Chu Yin lay down on the soft couch.
"If the relationship between you and Lord Xiao is known to others, the slave is worried that it will cause a storm and it will not be good for the Queen Mother." Caitang squatted down and pinched Chu Yin's legs.
"From the day the mourning family knew, the mourning family has never been afraid, Jin'er is the child of the mourning family, who knows each other and dares to say anything," she said, "What the mourning family is really afraid of is Jin'er, I don't know if he can accept it, the mourning family has been separated from him for more than 20 years, and owes him too much." ”
For more than 20 years, she has lived like a walking corpse.
She was deeply immersed in the loss of her beloved son, and she couldn't extricate herself.
She never thought that her Jin'er was still alive and growing so good.
This is God's pity for her for more than 20 years, and give her a reward.
————
Yun Rongjue and his entourage walked to a small county town and settled in a small inn in the county seat.
Along the way, they hardly stopped to rest, and Yun Rongjue's shackled hands were even ground out with a little blood. Jiang Wu looked very distressed, she told the escorted guard to find a doctor, or go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, but the guard refused.
"Your Highness, the slave maid will give you some medicine to treat the wound on your wrist." Jiang Wu brought the herbs that had been poured out.
Yun Rongjue glanced at it, "They refused to buy medicine, where did you get this medicine?" ”
Jiang Wu rolled up Yun Rongjue's sleeve and explained while giving him medicine, "These medicines are given to slaves by the people here. ”
Along the way, in the places they passed, the common people heard about Yun Rongjue, and they were full of praise for Yun Rongjue's approval of the silver disaster relief. After knowing that Yun Rongjue was injured and couldn't find medicine, he loosened these herbs.
"Although those guards are deliberately embarrassed, the common people know that His Highness is good."
Yun Rongjue smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
Along the way, in the county towns and townships they passed, the people's attitude towards him was obvious. If these were spread to Chang'an and Yun Feng's ears, Yun Feng would be even more annoyed.
It's late at night, and it's quiet.
Suddenly!
A small voice came, Yun Rongjue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight, "Your Highness, what's the ......" Jiang Wu got up with it, and just as he was about to speak, he covered her pink lips and shook his head.
Only then did Jiang Wu hear clearly, and there was a faint sound of someone coming in.
The next moment!
The blade carried the light on its back and struck at the two of them. Yun Rongjue turned sideways and pulled Jiang Wu to avoid it.
In an instant, Yun Rongjue and the attacking assassin fought together, and Jiang Wu dodged by the side. The guards guarding the door outside seemed to be deaf, and none of them came in to help.
Yun Rongjue is one enemy and two enemies, and he has to protect Jiang Wu, which has a slight advantage.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The long sword of the man in black slashed towards Yun Rongjue, Yun Rongjue turned around to avoid it, and the long sword slashed on the table. Seeing the man in black approaching step by step, Jiang Wu stood aside in a panic.
Suddenly!
She remembered something, reached out and touched her arms, and touched the short tube that Xiao Qijin gave her!
- There are some short needles in this short tube, and you press the small buckle on the side.
This is what Xiao Qijin gave her for self-defense!
Jiang Wu picked it up without hesitation, aimed at the man in black, and pressed the small button on the side! With a bang, the short needle flew out and pierced the man in black!
Yun Rongjue took advantage of the situation to chase and slash one of them!
Seeing that the situation was not right, the man in black threw himself out of the window and fled.
"Your Highness, are you alright?!" Jiang Wu hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Yun Rongjue anxiously.
"The main hall is fine, what about you?"
"The slave is fine."
Yun Rongjue's eyes fell on the short tube held in Jiang Wu's hand, and he thought of the few stitches that flew out just now, "When did my sister have this secret weapon." ”
"This was given to the slave by Lord Xiao before we left, saying that it could defend oneself, but I didn't expect it to be used."
Xiao Qijin......
Yun Rongjue held the short pipe, "He has a heart." ”
At this time, the sound of a guard came from the door, and after the two looked at each other, Jiang Wu went to open the door.
The guard walked in, pretending to be concerned and puzzled, "Your Highness just heard the sound of a fight inside, what happened?" ”
"There was an assassin just now." Yun Rongjue said.
