Chapter 318: Variables
The night was deep, the bonfire shook gently, faintly Zhuo Zhuo cast a shaky shadow on the cool earth, Jiang Yingli was reflected in the scorching firelight, her cheeks were slightly red, and a little heat surged straight up to the spiritual platform, making her feel a trace of warmth in the autumn wind.
Just as he was looking around, Jiang Yingli was striding in the direction of the emperor with a burly man in armor and a sword hilt in his hand.
Jiang Yingli narrowed her eyes slightly, if she remembered correctly, that person was the leader of the Praetorian Guard, who used to live in the palace, so she still knew him.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards are looking for the emperor, are they going to prepare to retreat?
Jiang Yingli gently tugged at the sleeve of Liuli beside her, lowered her voice and whispered beside her, "Is the bonfire party about to end?" ”
Liuli also noticed this scene, frowned slightly, and had some doubts: "I asked, it stands to reason that it should have ended an hour ago, and after it was over, I set off to return to Beijing, but there has been no movement yet, I'm afraid there are variables." ”
While the two of them were talking in a low voice, they saw the leader of the Praetorian Guard leave in a hurry again, and in a short time there was a silent influx of twice as many Praetorian Guards.
"In this way, the Praetorian Guards guarding the foot of the mountain have also been transferred, and I think I can't leave tonight." As soon as Liuli saw this situation, she immediately made a judgment.
Jiang Yingli covered her lips with her hand and was slightly surprised, if that's the case, then she has to stay here too? But she hasn't had time to go back to the Hou Mansion to report the news, and now Mrs. Hou and a few young children are left, afraid that the concubine will take the opportunity to do it, and she is also afraid that she will have another incident.
Sure enough, the emperor was in high spirits, and he seemed to have drunk two more glasses tonight, and he had already returned to the tent, leaving only the big eunuch beside him to pass the decree on his behalf, to the effect that because of this hunting meeting, the emperor was in high spirits, so he planned to stay for two more days and have a good time.
Jiang Yingli pretended to be worried about something, and when the bonfire party was over, she couldn't wait to come to Anpinghou's tent, and said today's events in a low voice.
"Dad, I really don't worry about my mother and younger brothers at home, and if I stay here, I will be easily targeted by the concubine." Jiang Yinglian's face was solemn, her eyebrows were furrowed, she could even imagine that if she really stayed here for two more days, she was afraid that she would have to be cautious and cautious all the time, otherwise she would fall into the trap of the concubine if she was not careful.
She can't always count on the six princes to rescue and relieve the siege, and here she can only rely on Liuli, but Liuli doesn't want to drag her down.
When An Pinghou heard this, his face was still very solemn, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I will find a chance for you to go back first, since the concubine has this idea, whether it is true or not, we have to be careful, and we must not repeat the kind of thing that happened last time." Now that the bottom of the mountain is all fenced off, no one is allowed to enter or leave without a holy order, and if the concubine wants to start, she shouldn't be able to do it so quickly. ”
Jiang Yingli nodded very cautiously: "And my father too, you must be careful." ”
Because of the last incident, Marquis Anping was no longer as useful in front of the emperor as before, and all this was because he wanted to save himself.
If she was involved by herself again this time, she really wouldn't be enough to apologize for her death.
"Don't worry, if the concubine's hand can be stretched so long, she doesn't need to be so anxious and repeatedly hit your head with ideas."
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Jiang Yingli never dared to underestimate the concubine, not to mention that she was about to jump off the wall in a hurry now, but when she pursed her lips and wanted to say something, she saw that the curtain at the door moved, and then it was lifted.
Jiang Yingli immediately closed her lips and didn't say a word.
"It's you." Seeing that it was Liuli coming in, Jiang Yingli breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, he also felt that he was too cautious, this is the tent of Anping Hou, and who doesn't know each other dares to break in?
The guards at the door are not fools.
"I also told me where you went, but I couldn't find you, and finally I saw Yunzhu outside the tent, so I came over." Liuli first bowed his head slightly at Hou Ye, and chuckled lightly before turning to look at Jiang Yingliang.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yingli didn't expect Liuli to come to find her, so she didn't tell her in advance.
Liuli first glanced at Jiang Yingliang, and then looked at Hou Ye, and then said: "Brother Six Emperor told me that Yingli continued to stay here, I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to her, so I will make arrangements in advance, so that Yingli can take the opportunity to leave first, and this matter may still need Hou Ye's help." ”
Liuli's words surprised Jiang Yingli again, and blurted out: "How do the six princes know that someone will be unfavorable to me?" ”
This is not what surprised Jiang Yinglian, what shocked her the most was why the six princes were so concerned about her affairs? Three times and twice, I rescued myself twice, and I saved myself last time......
"Today's matter of the concubine begging for wolf cubs is too obvious, the sixth emperor brother said that in order not to cause extraneous branches, it is better to let you go back first, so as not to cause trouble and implicate the Hou Mansion at that time."
Liuli glanced at Jiang Yingli faintly, and saw that her face was full of surprise at first, and then turned to it, and then when she had a slight embarrassed look, she laughed straight in her heart, but unfortunately she couldn't show it.
Jiang Yingli nodded lightly, and suddenly felt that he was a little self-inflicted, it turned out that Yun Chuan helped himself three times and twice in order not to drag down the Hou Mansion.
It's a shame that she thought Yun Chuan was careful, and it turned out that people regarded her as a hidden evil.
"At this time, the Sixth Emperor Brother was afraid that he was about to finish it, and then he bothered the Hou Ye to find a suitable time to ask his father for leave on behalf of Yingliang. It could have been quiet, but I had no choice but to see the reflection today, so just in case, I still had to report it in advance, so as not to be used by someone with a heart to cause trouble. ”
"Well, Yun Chuan is very thoughtful." Anping Hou nodded again and again, and said decisively: "There are many dreams in the night, Yingliang, you go back and prepare quickly, leave immediately, don't worry about the follow-up, everything is with your father." ”
Jiang Yingli also knew that it was not too late, and immediately did not hesitate, and turned around and wanted to leave with Liuli, but they were still a step late, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the tent, they met the big palace maid beside the queen.
"The slave maid has seen Princess Liuli, the county lord of Jiang" The palace maid has been thoughtful for several times, but she is completely in front of Jiang Yingliang.
Jiang Yingli could only stabilize his mind, and pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile: "It's so late, why is the girl still outside." ”
The palace maid smiled slightly at Jiang Yingliang, and made a curtsy salute again: "County Lord Jiang, the queen mother is invited, please go with the slave and maid." ”
"It's so late, I don't know what's important, if it doesn't matter, I still don't want to disturb the queen."
