Chapter 31: This Man Is Too Ghostly
There were too many people in front of the palace gate, and after some searching, Zhao and the others saw that Xia Jinse had already arrived in front of the palace gate and was talking to a eunuch.
The Zhao family immediately stepped forward, and just wanted to scold Xia Jinse, but the eunuch also saw the Zhao family coming, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Mrs. Xia Xiang and the three young ladies, and the slave came to invite Miss Xia in the name of the queen's mother." ”
When the people around heard it, what, the queen mother also sent someone to invite Xia Jinse?
Why does she have such a big face!
Of course, the Zhao family knew the reason, and in front of the eunuch, he could only sneer and say: "Since this is the case, then Jinse, you should go quickly, don't let the queen wait for a long time." ”
After all, her heart is also sour, Xia Jinse was invited in, and they still have to wait in line at the palace gate, which is really infuriating!
Fortunately, the eunuch also had the strength to see, and said that the Fengluan Palace had been prepared, and let Mrs. Xia Xiang and the three young ladies go to sit down first, and the Zhao family was happy. So many ladies and daughters are lining up in the sun, and they go in first, which is a symbol of status and face.
Who knows, before they had time to leave, a delicate carriage came not far away, and a young girl got down from the carriage and walked over with two girls, Shi Shiran.
The surroundings were silent for a while, and the Zhao mother and daughter found that something was wrong, and the eunuch who led the way was even brighter, and nodded and passed over at a trot: "Ouch, the unequaled county lord is also here, but coincidentally, the queen mother is still thinking about the county lord this morning, the county lord, hurry up and enter the palace, don't let the queen wait for a long time." ”
"I heard that the queen mother is not feeling well, so I came earlier and wanted to see the mother." The unequaled county lord spoke, with an outstanding demeanor and a soft tone, as pleasant as a yellow warbler out of the valley.
Xia Jinse recognized her at a glance, wasn't it the little boy who was in the restaurant that day, dressed as a man? Sure enough, it was the unequaled county lord.
She walked over step by step, her skirt was elegant, and the pale cyan water cloud brocade was embroidered with white lotus flowers, and the stamens were embroidered with gold thread, and even the delicate stamens were inlaid with pink gems, faintly shining. sets off her jade-like skin, like a fairy descending to earth, Ling Bo takes a slight step, making people ashamed of themselves.
Originally, Xia Ruxue was dressed up today, Chu Chu was moving, dignified and elegant, but under the comparison of Ji Wushuang, it was a little less fairy, slightly inferior.
Ji Wushuang's face was indifferent, he walked up to Xia Ruxue and glanced at her: "Second Miss Xia? ”
Although Xia Ruxue's heart was cold, her complexion did not change at all, and she bowed elegantly: "The unequaled county lord is fine." ”
One is the daughter of the left prime minister, and the other is the lord of the Hou Mansion, who is comparable in appearance and identity. But because of the gambling contract that has been circulating in Beijing recently, everyone saw the two women facing each other, and they immediately had the idea of watching a good show.
"I have long heard that Miss Xia Er is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is rare to see it. Today's garden party is just right, and I want everyone to be able to enjoy the masterpiece of the second lady, which is really exciting. Ji Wushuang laughed, and brilliant starlight flew in her eyebrows, as if she had really been friends with Xia Ruxue for a long time and were friends who cherished each other.
Xia Ruxue also smiled slightly, and said modestly: "It's just that I'm usually idle and just pass the time." I heard that the county lord is the first talented woman in the capital, and when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous, but I am afraid that everyone is like me, waiting for a while to appreciate the county lord's masterpieces. ”
"Where, it's just written casually, it's a masterpiece."
"It just so happens that the county lord's sister is here, why don't we go into the palace together, don't stand and get tired."
The two daughters were happy, as if they were familiar at first sight, but disappointed the ladies and daughters who wanted to watch the play. I was secretly sighing in my heart, I was worthy of being the county lord of the Xiaoyao Mansion and the concubine of Xia Xiang, this bearing and connotation are really not comparable to ordinary people.
Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then took his two daughters, Xia Jinse and Xia Yulan, followed behind the eunuch, and entered the palace in the disappointment and envy of everyone.
Along the way, Ji Wushuang was talking to Xia Ruxue, and from time to time he also said a few words to Xia Mengyao, but he ignored Xia Jinse. After only a while, Xia Mengyao was the elder sister of Wushuang, and the sister of Wushuang shouted shortly, Xia Jinse saw it in his eyes, and he had a better idea of Ji Wushuang's thoughts.
It was Xia Yulan, and the Zhao family didn't pay attention to her, and as she walked, she fell to the back and walked with Xia Jinse.
Seeing her silent and cautious appearance, Xia Jinse could roughly see Xia Yulan's character. Although the third uncle Xia Yanpeng has a big business, he is a businessman after all, and he can't be on the stage, and even the four sisters can't raise their heads in front of them, and they don't dare to say anything introverted.
I can't say a good impression of Xia Yulan, and I don't have any bad feelings, Xia Jinse said a few words to her casually, Xia Yulan was also submissive, she couldn't beat a fart with a stick, and she didn't bother to say anything more.
Seeing that Fengluan Palace was in front, on a small road on the left, several people came to meet them, and the first one turned out to be Lu Wangxi, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yuanqing.
The eunuch who guided the Zhao family took a look, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Gonggong Lu is in a hurry, but where are you in a hurry?" ”
Father-in-law Lu saw Xia Jinse at a glance, and his eyes lit up and said, "The miscellaneous family came to invite Miss Xia, but I happened to meet him halfway." ”
Although Lu Wangxi was only a chief eunuch, the Zhao family and the other people and the Wushuang county lord greeted him first, and after he returned the salute, he walked straight to Xia Jinse and said: "Miss Xia, the emperor has been thinking about you when he takes medicine these days, and today I entered the palace, hurry up and go to the emperor to take a look." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "The emperor has been a little uncomfortable again in the past two days. ”
The Zhao family and the others and Ji Wushuang were all worried, what happened to this Xia Jinse, she was first invited by the queen's mother, and now she was invited by the emperor, the two masters in the palace attach so much importance to her, could it be that she is really a fragrant bun?
Xia Jinse was also a little surprised, the queen mother was unwell, and the emperor had not been well, why did she go to the hospital, she had to point to her as a woman?
I still take medicine, but I don't like medicine again?
Fortunately, Xia Jinse had already asked Mu Xiang to bring the medicine box when she went out, and she went to touch it in her sleeve every time, she looked at Zhao, and Zhao didn't know what to say.
The eunuch beside the queen sneered: "But the queen also invited Miss Xia, this ......"
Lu Wangxi rolled his eyelids: "The emperor is waiting for Miss Xia in the Zichen Palace, could it be that the queen wants to rob the emperor of people?" ”
The mountain pressed down, and the eunuch didn't dare to take it at all, so he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave will go and tell the queen mother, Miss Xia hurry up." ”
Xia Jinse followed Gonggong Lu at this time, and asked him halfway: "Gonggong Lu, could it be that the emperor's injury is not healed?" ”
Father-in-law Lu didn't say anything, but just said, "Miss Xia will know when she goes." ”
When Gonggong Lu took Xia Jinse and walked for a long time, when he arrived at Zichen Palace, he saw that there was a person standing at the door, and it was actually Lan Beichen, the ninth prince. He stood in front of the hall with his hands in his hands, with a long body and a brilliant temperament, like a laurel tree in the Moon Palace, with a breath of ice and indifference.
Xia Jinse looked at Father-in-law Lu, but Father-in-law Lu didn't speak and quietly retreated.
Only then did she know that where Emperor Yuanqing was looking for her, it turned out to be this person!
"Nine Princes, you dare to fake the holy decree, it's not a small courage." Xia Jinse raised her eyebrows, not knowing what this man was doing with her in different ways.
Lan Beichen said lightly: "The emperor has read a few words from you, and this king is not a fake holy decree, but I want to ask you in advance, and you will go to the emperor to see it later." ”
"What's the matter with you?" Xia Jinse was a little surprised.
didn't even let her enter the palace, Lan Beichen asked Xia Jinse to face the sun and said directly: "The emperor attaches great importance to the case of the Soul Chasing Building, and it has been handed over to this king for investigation." ”
I see, it seems that he is very tired, and the emperor will hand over any dirty work to him, this case is very implicated, I am afraid that he will not be able to sleep with a headache.
Xia Jinse asked, "And then?" ”
"Coincidentally, this king flipped through the file yesterday and found that Miss Xia was the only one in the list of killers in the Soul Chasing Building, so ......" Lan Beichen didn't finish speaking, looking at her meaningfully.
The more Xia Jinse listened, the more wrong he became: "Hey, are you suspicious of me?" ”
"Did this king say that he doubted you?"
"And what do you mean?"
"Miss Xia's case has not been solved so far, it has been almost two months, and it is even more difficult for a Jianghu organization like Soul Chaser Building to implicate the forces of the imperial court. Miss Xia, this king guessed that the assassination of the Soul Chaser Building last time failed, and it won't be long before you have an accident. ”
Intimidate her? Is this man mistaken?
The case has been handed over to him to be responsible, if he can't solve the case, what good will he have?
"The rules of the Soul Chaser Building never let the mission fail, not once, and twice or three times until the target person dies. Miss Xia, if you don't find a way as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the next time this king sees you again, it may be a corpse. ”
Xia Jinse's heart jumped: "Is it interesting for you to scare me by turning around?" Something to say! ”
Knowing that Lan Beichen was telling the truth, because of this, Xia Jinse ignored the situation that he didn't know before. If it is really the Soul Chasing Building, she must complete the task, but I am afraid that she really can't hide.
It's a worrying life!
The corners of Lan Beichen's lips hooked: "This king can send someone to protect you, or he can think of solving the case as soon as possible, as long as he ...... Miss Xia gave the injury medicine prescription that Ji Zhutou gave last time to this king, then there would be no problem. ”
When Xia Jinse heard this, he almost laughed.
This man said so much, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to her Yunnan Baiyao?!
This is a healing elixir, it has a history of more than 100 years, even in the modern life of the previous life, the prescription of Yunnan Baiyao is also a secret in the field of intellectual property, Xia Jinse is a genius of the scientific research institute, and there is no way to know the specific ingredients and preparation methods.
It's just that she can't match it, but she can supply it endlessly!
"Nine Princes, you're too ghostly, aren't you? If you want my Yunnan Baiyao, just say it, I can't give it to you, but the conditions must be clear. "Since Lan Beichen told her the conditions, Xia Jinse should also take the opportunity to tell him the conditions.
