Chapter 66: A Thousand Dollars Are Hard to Find
Yan Jin's face couldn't help but sink: "Empress, our people lurking in the palace have found corpses in dry wells and lakes, and after investigation, they are all spies of other countries, and all of them have this pattern engraved on their chests, I suspect that the meat of Da Zhou has been targeted by many countries." ”
Since their people can infiltrate, then others can also infiltrate, but they were the first to be discovered by the emperor and killed, Xiao Wanyan has always believed that the Emperor of the Great Zhou did not show that he could only enjoy himself as he seemed, and he was mediocre, otherwise he would have been overthrown for so many years, and he could still wait for Chu Huairan to catch up.
Xiao Wanyan's fingers tapped on the table, thinking for a moment, faintly feeling that something was wrong, in the past few days, Chu Huai has been entering the palace more and more frequently, and Gonggong Xu in the palace has also come to visit, looking at the relationship between the two, Gonggong Xu is definitely not Chu Huairan's eyeliner next to the emperor.
There was a big incident in the palace, and Xiao Wanyan immediately ordered: "Withdraw some of our people, and leave the rest in the palace on standby, from today onwards, don't make any more moves, let them serve the people in the palace with peace of mind, and wait for the rumors to pass, and then make a decision." ”
And Xiao Wanyan also plans to live in peace for two days and no longer go to Baihuafang, after all, there are wolves and tigers in front of them, they are all princes, and they are quick-minded, so they must not go wrong at such a critical moment.
What's more, there is also the movement of Chu Huairan waiting for the opportunity by his side, she is now embattled, there are guards stationed in all directions, and on this dangerous and dull day, the only one who can make her a little interesting is the people in the other courtyard.
Xiao Wanyan, who had been staying for two days, couldn't notice anything unusual in the palace, and always felt that something was wrong, so she had to target the courtyard next door.
In other words, after the commotion of the past few days, Qi Xiaoran seems to be a lot quieter recently, no longer jealous, and no longer noisy, I don't know if she is plotting something, Xiao Wanyan has to strike first.
Qu Xiaoran came back from outside, took a packet of medicinal powder wrapped in paper, and handed it to her: "Empress, if you want to find out the relationship between the officials, why don't you just let Yu Jin send someone there, why do you spend so much effort." ”
"It's an extraordinary time, can we have more spies than the dark guards of Da Zhou?" Xiao Wanyan mixed the medicinal powder into the rouge, the color was similar and there was nothing unusual, she clapped her hands and handed it to Qu Xiaoran: "Put this on the table, remember to put more spices next to it." ”
When she was outside, she was used to using fragrant rouge, which Xiao Wanyan had already calculated, and it could be said that it was foolproof.
After all, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and if Qi Xiaoran can be separated for a few days, it will be the most beneficial result for her.
Xiao Wanyan inquired early in the morning, in the past few days, Qi Xiaoran has an appointment with various ladies, since she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has not received this kind of gathering, you don't need to know that it is Qi Xiaoran's ghost, if she wants to know about the affairs of various officials in the DPRK and China, this kind of gathering is essential, and now is a good time.
After Qi Xiaoran went out, Xiao Wanyan put three or two red dots on her face, followed them with a purple veil, sometimes following, sometimes paying attention to the distance, and finally arrived at the Taifu Mansion.
Today, Mrs. Taifu is gathering at home, and the invitees are all famous families.
Xiao Wanyan waited around the corner outside the door, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a restless sound to come from inside, and many women fled from the house in a panic, their faces were undoubtedly stung by bees a few times, and they were red and swollen.
Xiao Wanyan saw the opportunity and pulled a woman in a light blue dress from it, she remembered clearly, it was Zhao Yiran, the sister of the general of soldiers and horses, although the family was full of generals, but she was docile with her mother, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was not interested in dancing knives and guns.
Xiao Wanyan took her away from the Taifu Mansion, the two of them were out of breath, and Xiao Wanyan looked confused: "This sister just saw you running out in a hurry, but what danger did you encounter?" ”
Zhao Yiran found out that the woman who took her away had never seen her at the banquet, and she first thanked her: "Thank you for saving me just now, in fact, it is not in danger, but it is almost the same, originally we were gathering inside, who knew that those big black bees in the garden suddenly attacked us, and in a hurry, everyone ran out." ”
You must know that big black bees are not common, unless it is some precious flower species raised in the house, Xiao Wanyan smiled secretly in her heart, God really has eyes, and she was stung by this kind of bee, so she had to let Qi Xiaoran rest for a few more days.
Xiao Wanyan took out a box of ointment from her arms, put it in Zhao Yiran's hand, and took off the veil to Zhao Yiran and quickly put it on: "It's better to be coincidental than to be in a hurry, I was also stung by a bee a few days ago, and I met a Lang Zhong who gave me this ointment, and it would be good to apply it to most of it, and it is fate that you and I can meet today, so I will give this box of ointment to you." ”
Zhao Yiran's eyes flashed with joy, but he didn't want to take it for nothing, so he shirked and said: "You have saved me just now, how can I still take your things for nothing." ”
Xiao Wanyan waved her hand and said: "It's not a big deal, I like to be helpful, even if it's for yourself, you can take it." ”
Zhao Yiran hesitated, she took the ointment, hesitated for a while and said, "Then you have to tell me what your name is, where you live, and when I am healed, I will come to visit and thank you." ”
hooked, Xiao Wanyan pretended to be flat and said in a flat tone: "There's no need to say thank you, I don't usually go out often, if you can afford me, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion and chat together in your spare time." ”
After that, Xiao Wanyan turned her head and left, and when Zhao Yiran reacted, where was there a figure in front of her, she looked into the distance and said to herself: "The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Xiao Wanyan believed that soon, she would see Zhao Yiran coming to visit, and in the past few days, she just waited in the house.
She was a little hungry, looked at a restaurant in front of her, and was about to walk over, when suddenly her afterglow caught a glimpse of Qi Jiuyue's figure, she had no choice but to hold her forehead, Qi Jiuyue was simply ghostly, she dispelled the idea of eating, and walked back quickly.
As she walked, she felt that the atmosphere on the road was a little weird, and for some reason, the people passing by her always cast strange eyes, so she had to step up her pace and walk forward quickly.
Halfway through the way, gradually someone began to block her way, at first, it was a thin, tall, malnourished looking man, holding a bouquet of flowers carved from gold in his hand, he lowered his head and handed it to Xiao Wanyan's hand, and left without saying a word.
Immediately after that, a second person came and brought a golden flower, and when he left, he said: "There is Yan Ruyu in the flower, and there is a golden house in the flower." ”
This sentence directly confused Xiao Wanyan, she blinked her eyes for unknown reasons, and touched Qu Xiaoran with her elbow: "Do you understand what this means?" ”
Qu Xiaoran shook his head, and then his gaze fell on the petals and reminded: "There are words on the petals." ”
After his reminder, Xiao Wanyan also saw it, but the font was a little small, and she wouldn't find it if she didn't pay attention to it, she took the flower closer and saw a line of thin and clear words: "New day, you are the appearance I like again." ”
And the words on the second flower are: "A new day, another day for me to love you." ”
Xiao Wanyan felt insulted when she read it, she didn't have to think about it to know whose style it was, she wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that there were more and more flowers, so much so that she couldn't rush out of the crowd.
Xiao Wanyan was scattered in the crowd, and finally came to an end, Qi Jiuyue stood behind the crowd, he walked to Xiao Wanyan with a smiling face, holding a bouquet of red agate carved flowers in his hand, and his eyes were full of light: "Wanyan, it's another day with you, Gao is not happy." ”
Xiao Wanyan smashed all the weightless golden flowers in her hands into Qi Jiuyue's arms: "I'm glad you're big, Your Royal Highness King Qing, don't you have anything to do?" Was it fun to tease me? ”
She was so angry that she took Qu Xiaoran away.
Qi Jiuyue really couldn't figure out why she was angry, and chased her all the way to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Chu Huairan was guarding in front of the door, he saw Xiao Wanyan's figure with a soft face and wanted to welcome her in, and when he saw Qi Jiuyue following behind him, his face immediately darkened, and the speed of changing his face couldn't help but make Chu Huairan smack his lips.
Chu Huairan didn't give Qi Jiuyue a chance to speak, and then asked Han Yi to set up a door number and put it in front of the door: Don't disturb idlers, King Qing and dogs are not allowed to enter.
Looking at the figure of the two of them entering, Qi Jiuyue crossed his hands on his waist and pointed to the door number: "What do you mean that King Qing and dogs are not allowed to enter, Chu Huairan, what do you mean." ”
The people passing by at the door couldn't help but laugh when they saw Qi Jiuyue's appearance, Qi Jiuyue couldn't swallow this breath anymore, he returned to Qingwang's Mansion, and immediately ordered Bu Ran to say: "If the soft one doesn't work, we'll come to the hard one, I still don't believe it, I can't handle a woman." ”
The door number outside the Prime Minister's Mansion was placed until dark, and it was not removed until dark, and Chu Huairan knew that Qi Jiuyue bribed Xiao Wanyan with a dog, so he was angry.
After dinner, he pretended to be gentle, holding the dog and dangling in front of Xiao Wanyan, which made her dizzy. Xiao Wanyan really couldn't stand it, snatched the dog in his arms, touched the dog's head, and said slowly: "Chu Chu hasn't slept for a day, can you stop for a while, don't bother it." ”
Chu Huairan paused, three question marks popped up on his head, and after realizing it, he asked, "What did you just say it was called?" ”
Xiao Wanyan glanced at him: "Chu Chu, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Huai's Xiao Wanyan is really not suitable for a name, and he doesn't care about the two turtles, this dog who is about to be the same generation as it, he is really blocked in his heart when he shouts.
Chu Huairan snatched Chu Chu from Xiao Wanyan's hand, put it in the kennel under the bed, hugged her to sleep, and the two lay on the bed together, Xiao Wanyan looked at the roof, calmed down, and said slowly: "You have been entering the palace these days, is something going to happen?" ”
Chu Huairan was stunned, Xiao Wanyan had never asked about these things, why did he suddenly mention it, he closed his eyes: "It's nothing, you can stay in the house with peace of mind, and go out less if you have nothing to do." ”
