Chapter 141 I'm afraid that the emperor is secretly planning something
Xiao Zi was taken aback by her thoughts, she had to tell Niangniang as soon as possible, but how could she tell Niangniang when she was with the emperor? And Niangniang is also anxious with her when she knows, if the emperor finds out something, wouldn't Niangniang be dangerous?
Calm, calm down. Xiao Zi took a deep breath, she had to find a way to inform Cui Xiang, Cui Fu was afraid that a big disaster was coming.
"Concubine, what delicious food did you arrange for me tonight?" The emperor asked.
"The emperor just went up and took a look." Concubine Zhao said with a smile.
"Your mind has always been the most considerate." The emperor scratched Concubine Zhao's nose, and when he was talking and laughing with Concubine Zhao, he glanced at Xiao Zi out of the corner of his eye.
The more this girl grows up, the more she is smart, and the emperor has not been interested in her for a year or two, but this girl is too loyal to her master, no matter how he teases her openly and secretly, she only treats him as a joke, and treats him respectfully and respectfully.
"Sister Xiaozi, let's go." Xiao Zi was thinking about things, her steps were extremely slow, and the palace maid behind her almost bumped into her, so she reminded her.
"Oh." Xiao Zi came back to his senses, hurriedly sped up a few steps forward, and when he raised his eyes, he was facing the emperor's eyes, and Xiao Zi suddenly lowered his eyelids in panic.
The emperor is in a row, he has never seen Xiao Zi so flustered, she?
"Xiaozi, why are you so far away from me? What do you think? Come here. Concubine Zhao beckoned to her.
Didn't she say that? When she is with the emperor, she doesn't have to shy away from it, she believes in Xiaozi's personality.
Xiao Zi grew up with her, they were like sisters in the house, and after ten years in the palace, she wanted to find a good family for Xiao Zi to marry several times, but Xiao Zi said that she would accompany her all her life, and she would not marry alive or dead, how could she not believe such a loyal sister?
People all over the world may betray her, but Xiaozi alone will not.
"Mother." Xiao Zi trotted over.
Concubine Zhao smiled at Xiao Zi and gave a complaining look.
Xiao Zi naturally understood Niangniang's eyes, but she didn't avoid it because the emperor, she was......
"Guifei, Xiao Zi is a little weird today, as if he is absent-minded." The emperor looked at Xiao Zi and said with a smile.
Concubine Zhao said: "This girl is probably because she saw ......"
"!" Xiao Zi interrupted Concubine Zhao and said deliberately: "Don't laugh at the slave." ”
Zhao Guifei: "......"
"What's the joke? Concubine Zhao quickly told me, what did this girl Xiao Zi see? The emperor inquired curiously.
"Mother, don't say it." Xiao Zi shook his head at Concubine Zhao.
Zhao Guifei originally thought that she just saw a familiar back? What is there that can't be said in front of the emperor, but seeing Xiao Zi frowning and looking nervous, the trust in Xiao Zi in her heart still chose to stand on her side, and smiled at the emperor: "Oh, it's nothing, the emperor knows, the concubine has always wanted to find a good family for Xiao Zi to marry, but this girl is unwilling, the emperor, why do you guess she is unwilling?" ”
"Why?" The emperor asked.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm afraid this girl will have no face to see people when she says it." When Concubine Zhao saw that she had lied to the emperor, Xiao Zi let out a sigh of relief, and Concubine Zhao felt even more strange, could it be that Xiao Zi remembered who the back was?
The emperor has also been paying attention to Xiao Zi's expression, and when he saw that Concubine Zhao didn't say anything, he guessed: "It can't be related to what you saw, right?" ”
"No, the emperor is really wise, Your Majesty, let's go, let's save some face for Xiaozi." Concubine Zhao smiled on her face, and kept thinking in her heart who Xiao Zi thought of was that back? So nervous?
The emperor quietly leaned into Concubine Zhao's ear and asked, "What did Xiao Zi see?" ”
Seeing that the emperor had been pestering her, Concubine Zhao pretended to be forced to tell him: "She has seen her sweetheart." ”
"Huh?" The emperor frowned.
"Don't be angry, it's normal for palace maids to like eunuchs since ancient times, Xiao Zi is willing to accompany me for the rest of her life, and finding a companion in the palace is also able to have a confidant to talk to her, after all, I am the master, she can't say anything to me, right?" Concubine Zhao really couldn't make up any good reasons, so she had to find a pond to plug over.
"Okay." The emperor only listened to it, and took Concubine Zhao's hand and entered Zhaoyang Palace.
While Concubine Zhao asked her subordinates to set out the wine and food, she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, go inside first to clean your hands, and it will be fine soon." ”
"Okay." The emperor was very cooperative to clean his hands.
After Concubine Zhao sent the emperor away, she lowered her voice and asked Xiaozi: "What's wrong?" Why are you so nervous? ”
"Mother, that person is...... It's Cui Mao. Xiao Zi replied.
"He? How did he hide in the palace? Concubine Zhao wondered.
"After he killed Gongzi Bo, Xiangye has not found his whereabouts, and now he appears in the palace, doesn't Niangniang think it's strange?" When Xiao Zi spoke, his eyes stared nervously inside, for fear that the emperor would suddenly come out.
"He came out of the Emperor's Yanyang Palace, Xiaozi, are you sure you're not mistaken? That person is Cui Mao? Concubine Zhao was reminded by Xiao Ziyi, and she also felt that the person's back was seven points similar to Steward Cui. Ivy
It's just that when she lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she rarely came out, unlike Xiao Zi who had to be busy in the mansion, and she had a lot of contact with Steward Cui, if Xiao Zi said that person was Steward Cui, it would definitely be.
"I won't admit it." Xiao Zi has determined countless times in her mind all the way, she can be sure.
Concubine Zhao stumbled, "Steward Cui is actually colluding with the emperor, what about Cui Bo?" ”
Xiao Zi patted Concubine Zhao's hand without a trace, watched the emperor come out of it, and quickly greeted him with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you clean?" ”
"Why don't you come in and wait for me?" The emperor pretended to complain.
"The emperor loves to joke about slaves and maids so much, so the slaves and maids naturally want to hide." Xiao Zi tried his best to calm himself, and moved the chair for the emperor thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”
Concubine Zhao Guifei didn't know the taste of food for this dinner, not for anything else, the emperor and Steward Cui were hooked up, which proves that the emperor has been guarding against Cui's mansion.
In fact, whether Cui Bo is dead or not is nothing to her, but the Xiangfu is her maiden family after all, and if her mother's family falls, she is afraid that she will not sit in the position of concubine for a long time, and she will even sit together.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't enjoy any blessings, and after entering the palace, she also survived all the way to the position of the concubine, and her father really lost patience, thinking that she had not been crowned the queen until now, so she thought about sending Cui Xi to the palace, she was fed up with her father treating her like this, she hated it in her heart, but what could she do, who made her Cui Xiang's daughter.
The emperor's taste was excellent, and after eating two large bowls of rice, he got up: "Concubine, I still have excerpts to see, so I won't leave you here tonight." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines send the emperor." Concubine Zhao wished that the emperor would leave quickly, and she had to discuss with Xiao Zi how to send this letter out of the palace.
The emperor smiled lightly and turned out of Zhaoyang Palace.
Concubine Zhao waited for the emperor to go away, pulled Xiao Zi and said, "Xiao Zi, we have to tell our father about this." ”
Xiao Zi shook his head and said: "The emperor has become wary of us, and I am afraid that this letter will not be sent." ”
"Huh?" Concubine Zhao thought that she was not exposed, why did the emperor be suspicious of them?
"Didn't Niangniang just see the emperor smiling meaningfully? And the emperor is not stupid, the mother said that the word "see" is afraid that the emperor has already guessed that the person we saw is Cui Mao. Xiao Zi said.
"Xiao Zi, you said that the emperor was colluded with Steward Cui, is it just that he is not satisfied with his father's hegemony? After all, the great general before the southern border was General Situ, the emperor's uncle, Cui Bo was nothing, but his father insisted on sealing the general, and the emperor was angry, so he asked Steward Cui to kill Cui Bo and be angry with his father in private? ”
"Niangniang, it would be good if this was the case, I'm afraid that the emperor is secretly planning something?" Xiao Zi said.
"Does the emperor really want to do something to my Cui family? If so, have I not become the daughter of a sinner? Xiaozi, think of a way, we must think of a way. Concubine Zhao said urgently.
Xiao Zi couldn't bear to worry about Niangniang, so he said: "Niangniang, don't be afraid, Xiao Zi will come up with a good way." ”
"Really?" Concubine Zhao can only pin her hopes on Xiao Zi.
She believes in Xiao Zi, since Xiao Zi said that he can come up with a way, he will definitely be able to come up with a way, and Xiao Zi will help her through many dangers.
If you want to send a letter to Xiangye, you must go out of the palace, if you send a few people out of the palace, the emperor will really be suspicious of them, and the people from Zhaoyang Palace will not be released from the palace.
"Mother, I have a way." Xiao Zi paced back and forth a few times before he came up with a good idea.
"What's the solution?" Concubine Zhao asked.
Xiao Zi found the guard's clothes, wore several thick layers, and then put on the guard's clothes to fit, and found thick-soled shoes, and padd and padd, so that his height was as tall as a man.
When Concubine Zhao saw Xiao Zi dressed like this, she really looked like a man, "Can you really mix up like this?" ”
This garment is the clothes of the inner servant, and it can only go to the palace gate at most.
"Don't worry, Niangniang, when you get to the gate of the palace, the slave will find a way to change into the clothes of the Praetorian Guard." Xiao Zi nodded confidently at Concubine Zhao.
"Then you have to be careful." Concubine Zhao advised.
"Hmm."
Xiao Zi pinched the time when the guards of Zhaoyang Palace changed shifts, and quietly followed behind them, all the way towards the palace gate.
The resting places of the guards and the forbidden army are at the east and west gates, and the guards and the guards who are not on duty often sit together to drink and chat, the guards talk about what happened in the palace, and the guards talk about what happened in the court and outside, and they are also very familiar with each other.
Xiao Zi took advantage of their drinking, so he sneaked to the residence of the Praetorian Guard, and changed into the Praetorian Guard uniform as quickly as possible.
When the key was under the gate of the shift palace, there was no danger out of the palace.
Xiao Zi was dressed heavily and thickly, she wanted to run but could not run, she didn't dare to take off her clothes under the palace gate, so she had to walk mechanically, several Janissaries on the city wall saw Xiao Zi walking strangely, and one of them said: "What's wrong with this person?" How do you walk like that? ”
"I don't know." Someone replied.
Xiao Zi was sweating profusely, for fear that she would be exposed, and no one paid attention to her when she just followed the Praetorian Guards out of the palace, and now she looks like this, which is too eye-catching.
