Chapter 32: Entering the Palace
And the next step of the plan is that three days later, the envoy of Daliang entered the imperial city, she led everyone to ambush in the imperial city, taking the opportunity to arouse the contradiction between Daliang and Da Zhou, waiting for the time to be ripe, she took people back to Daliang, summoned the ministers who had followed her, and took down Feng Ruyi in one fell swoop
She doesn't have too much to think about Chu Huairan's big hatred now, if she can regain the throne, Chu Huairan will not be at her disposal at that time.
Xiao Wanyan began to think about the day when the envoy came to see her, and the three days were fleeting, and she ordered Qu Xiaoran to arrange everything.
When night fell, Chu Huairan took her into the palace to attend the banquet, and at the gate of the palace, many palace people gathered together, and they solemnly probed every carriage that came in and out, for fear that something would go wrong.
Xiao Wanyan was a little worried that the emperor would see through the plan, she glanced at Chu Huairan quietly: "Xiangye, I haven't seen such rigor since I went to the palace, even if the princes from everywhere come back, they are very casual, these big beams."
The envoy made the emperor pay so much attention, was it because he was afraid that the assassin would suddenly be uncontrollable in the palace? ”
Chu Huairan leaned over and touched her head: "The envoys of Daliang can't come to see the sloppy, the emperor is naturally careful again and again, if someone with a heart takes the opportunity to break in, not only will all their cooperation with Daliang be terminated, maybe the gains will outweigh the losses, so that the two countries will cause a war, although in Daliang is a woman in power, naturally not as powerful as Da Zhou, but it must not be underestimated." ”
Then, as if he remembered something, he carefully advised: "You will follow me closely when you enter the palace in a while, don't walk around, today is extraordinary, you must pay attention to your own safety." ”
Recently, Chu Huaiyan has become more and more clingy, and even the advice has made Xiao Wanyan's ears calloused, and his advice is completely in vain, what Xiao Wanyan is not afraid of on weekdays is danger, not to mention that when Chu Huairan said that the women of Daliang are not as powerful as the men of Da Zhou, she did not dare to agree.
In her eyes, the woman of Daliang is the most powerful, thinking that when Daliang and Da Zhou were fighting, the old general who commanded the three armies was still under the hooves of her mother, so what women are not as good as men is all nonsense in her place.
According to the emperor's order in advance, the carriage could only be entered after being searched, Chu Huairan pulled Xiao Wanyan out of the carriage, but his hand was still tightly pulled, not daring to let go.
It wasn't until Qi Jiuchen and Qi Jiuyue's eyes saw the small bowl together, that the two of them walked over from different directions, and Chu Huairan's indifferent expression couldn't help but tighten when he saw the two of them, and even the strength in his hand was a little bigger.
When she first came here, she knew that Qi Jiuchen was going to put her to death, but she didn't understand why there was no movement after so long, but she still didn't dare to relax, after all, she had to spare her life more than anyone else before she returned to Daliang to regain the throne.
So when Qi Jiuchen came over, she saluted with Chu Huairan, bowed slightly, and stopped looking at him.
But Qi Jiuyue is not a person who keeps to himself, seeing Xiao Wanyan like a monkey seeing a banana, he not only wants to hold her by his side, but also wants to eat and wipe clean, and become his own person forever.
But when he saw Chu Huairan standing on the side, he had no choice but to restrain his emotions, but he still slowly approached Xiao Wanyan, and joked happily: "Sister-in-law and cousin are always as affectionate as newlywed Yan'er, I envy them all when I see them, I don't know when I will find a woman like my sister-in-law." ”
Today's sky is dark early, and the moon rises early, it can be seen that the moonlight illuminates the earth but still can't recover Chu Huairan's increasingly dark face, he glanced at Qi Jiuyue unhappily, heh, Xiao Wanyan has only this one woman in the world, and it is impossible to find a similar one in this life, unless the woman is blind.
The autumn breeze was cool, floating in the crowd, Rao is human wall blocked most of the wind but still couldn't withstand the cold wind, Xiao Wanyan shuddered, she pursed her lips, her eyes floated back and forth between Chu Huairan and Qi Jiuyue, she wanted to persuade but was afraid of implicating herself, feeling the strange atmosphere in the air, she hesitated or forgot it.
She can't be a peacemaker in her life, and Chu Huairan and Qi Jiuyue are intimate, so even if they really do it, they won't be too ugly.
This matter is like a mirror in her heart, and now that she is outside the palace gate, the two of them dare not do anything and do not say much.
Chu Huairan's eyes seemed to be covered with a black curtain, and he looked at Qi Jiuyue without expression: "Your Royal Highness King Qing forgot about visiting the lake a few days ago?" So many women jumped into the lake for you, but you couldn't pick out a woman you liked, it seems that your vision is too high, and it is easy to die alone. ”
Chu Huairan's slightly hot palm held Xiao Wanyan's hand tightly, as if he wanted to grab someone into his palm, melt into his bones, and never show it to others again.
Xiao Wanyan's originally plain expression frowned slightly, and the slight pain in her hand made her immediately withdraw her hand and glance at Chu Huairan unhappily, and it happened that the palace people who were checking at this time came to her, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Xiangye, you can go in." ”
Xiao Wanyan ignored Chu Huairan and walked into the carriage by herself, and Qi Jiuyue, who was watching, raised the corners of her mouth happily: "Cousin, women have to be free-range, and if they grasp it too tightly, it is easy to die alone." ”
Qi Jiuyue raised his head proudly, turned to leave, Chu Huairan was silent for a long time, and followed Xiao Wanyan's steps back to the carriage.
During the whole process, they treated Qi Jiuchen as air, except for the first salute and then never said a word to him, the rain and smoke standing on the side whispered beside him: "Lord Wang, the prime minister is too presumptuous." ”
Qi Jiuchen shook the folding fan in his hand at this time: "The prime minister's presumptuous attitude is not a day or two, even the imperial brother can't take him, do I still want to be unhappy?" ”
Yuyan felt a sense of oppression from such a close distance, and she noticed the faint unhappiness in Qi Jiuchen's tone: "Then let him be like this?" ”
Qi Jiuchen closed the fan and walked back: "Don't worry, let him jump for a while." ”
He looked at Chu Huairan's carriage with a deep face, not only would the throne be his, but even Xiao Wanyan, the woman, would be his.
With such a straight look all falling on Xiao Wanyan's eyes, she knew that it was impossible to want Qi Jiuchen to sanitize people's thoughts, maybe he didn't stand still, but just found another way that she didn't know to kill him.
However, now that Xiao Wanyan has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her actions are becoming more and more in the direction of Chu Huairan, and being arrogant and unreasonable will be her criterion for being a person in the future.
Just as she was reminiscing about Qi Jiuchen's eyes, Chu Huairan took her hand and rubbed it, leaning closer to her: "I didn't mean to." ”
After she lost her temper a few times, Chu Huairan became more and more out of the bottom line, and she had to be with her from time to time, but looking at Chu Huairan's skinless and faceless appearance, most of her anger suddenly disappeared.
Except for the grievances between her and Chu Huairan, judging from the original owner and him, it is not a good thing that such a traitorous minister who wants to cover the sky with one hand and usurp the throne can love his wife so much.
Because of this reason, her hatred for Chu Huairan is not so deep, even if she wants to take revenge, she can find a non-painful way to let him leave this world.
Although Chu Huairan was intimate to her, he still couldn't dispel her desire for revenge, being kind to her and revenge in her heart were two different things, and she knew it clearly.
Xiao Wanyan was afraid that her face would betray her, so she was as indifferent as possible, but she was worried that her posture was not generous enough, she glanced at Chu Huairan, and said unhappily: "What did Xiangye say on purpose, I am your woman, you can do whatever you want, what can I say?" ”
Chu Huairan glanced at her, and his eyes had a somewhat flattering smile.
Xiao Wanyan moved to the side, separating the distance between the two, Chu Huairan posted it again, and said in a low voice: "I just don't like the way they look at you." ”
She raised her head and saw Chu Huairan's complicated expression, her heart softened a little, and she simply found herself a step down: "I am Xiangye's woman, no matter how others look at it, it will not change, what are you worried about?" ”
Chu Huairan was silent and hugged Xiao Wanyan in his arms: "With you, I won't worry." ”
Entering the palace, the carriage went very fast, said a few words, and arrived at the place, today all the carriages are put in one place by the palace people, and will be returned after the banquet.
Xiao Wanyan admired the emperor's thoughts, even if it was an envoy visiting him, he would not relax at all.
They were led into the main hall by the palace people, Chu Huairan and Xiao Wanyan sat under the emperor, she looked at it for a long time, in addition to seeing the fierce gaze cast by Qi Xiaoran, there was also the gaze cast by Qi Jiuchen and Qi Jiuyue.
Immediately after the envoy of the beam entered the hall, Xiao Wanyan shook the wine glass leisurely, took a sip and squinted her eyes, tonight, it is destined to be a wonderful and unforgettable night.
The man who hadn't seen him for a long time walked slowly, walked to the middle with a graceful posture, and bowed slowly to the emperor, Xiao Wanyan took the wine jug in her hand and poured another glass, she thought that she probably wouldn't get old, always like this, looking at his delicate face, she finally shook the wine glass and put it down, retracting her eyes.
She lowered her eyes and stopped looking, until the main lord ascended the main hall, and the emperor smiled and watched the woman with a thousand postures walk up to the main hall, the woman bowed slightly, and was greeted by the emperor and sat next to him, on an equal footing.
Feng Ruyi, the woman she hated to the core, robbed her identity and now dared to appear in front of her, Xiao Wanyan's hand clenched inadvertently, and she stared at the hall until Chu Huairan held her hand.
Only then did she realize that her emotions were almost exposed, she glanced at the palm with the nail prints and then at Chu Huairan, was silent, and was about to explain her words, when she saw Chu Huairan looking at her gaze, and said quietly: "Don't be afraid, with me, the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”
Originally, she thought that she was looking at the emperor, so there was less trouble to explain, so she nodded slightly and said "En".
On the contrary, Qi Xiaoran became more and more unintelligible, as if she wanted everyone to know that she was going to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion to grab someone else's position, she walked next to Chu Huairan, directly squeezed Xiao Wanyan away, and relied on the emperor in front of her, and said unreasonably: "What identity do you dare to sit on an equal footing with me, why don't you go to the side quickly, stay away from me and Xiangye." ”
