083 Sincerity and prudence
The sky is clear, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, the sun is baking the ground hot, I am on the way to the Qianqing Palace, the news of Narsu's death by swallowing gold last night was only rushed into Jingren Palace at noon, and I was shocked in my heart, and I was even more worried. He was a man of temperament, and he had always been Narsu's right-hand man, and when he heard this, he must have mourned. But I know that Narsu is not loyal, he has long betrayed Zai Xiang and taken refuge in Ningshou Palace, I don't want Zai Xiang to continue to hurt himself for such a person, and then, only a few simple words to Ying'er, I hurriedly took the splendid umbrella out of Jingren Palace to go to comfort.
Walking on the road, I couldn't help but think that I had just heard the news about the state of Ningshou Palace in Gao Wanzhi's mouth, as if Cixi's grief was no less than half a point of Zaiyan, but in the morning, Cixi had already posthumously named Narsu as "Cheng Shen".
"Sincerity and prudence" is an excellent nickname.
As soon as the people arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Fan Changlu greeted him urgently, "Little master, you are here!" β
When I saw Fan Changlu's impatient and worried face, I knew that Zaiyan's situation was not good, which I had expected a long time ago, so I only relieved: "Father-in-law Fan, don't be too anxious, Lord Naersu went suddenly, and the emperor couldn't accept it for a while." β
Fan Changlu sighed and said: "Queen Fang Cai has also come, saying that she wants to enter the Qianqing Palace to take a look, Shengsheng was reprimanded by the emperor and left, and now I am afraid that only the little master can comfort the emperor a little." β
I asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" β
Fan Changlu frowned, "I haven't spoken for two hours inside, the queen mother came and just said hello outside the door, and the emperor shouted angrily that the queen mother came to see the joke, let the queen mother go!" Saying that, Fan Changlu shook his head helplessly, "After the queen left in a huff, the emperor was silent for a long time, and the emperor has never been like this...... The slave was really afraid that the emperor would do something stupid...... "At this time, Longyu didn't go to Ningshou Palace to accompany Cixi, but came to Qianqing Palace to see Zaiyan, this move is really incomprehensible, no wonder Zai Yan wants to scold her away, who knows if she came to Qianqing Palace for Cixi to spy on the military situation!"
I smiled mildly, and said comfortingly: "Although Gonggong Fan can rest assured, the emperor is not so fragile. β
Fan Changlu said: "The little master is right, but he is only afraid of what if, isn't it?" β
I smiled slightly, "The princess is relieved, this palace will go in and take a look." β
Fan Changlu answered, and hurriedly opened the door, the copper cloisonnΓ© enamel incense burner was placed side by side on several hardwood shelves, and the smell of sandalwood wafted out from it, quiet and quiet. The black jade-like bricks do not fall a little dust, clearly reflecting the carved "two dragons playing with pearls" pattern on the golden door, lifelike, Zai Yan stands in front of the window with his back hand, the golden light color penetrates from the silk gap between the blue thin wing yarn, soft but scattered. I quietly approached Zaiyan, and saw that he was motionless, only standing behind him and slowly stretching out his arms around him, leaning lightly on his back, and after a while, I whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Narsu is dead." β
Zai Yan's body was shocked, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Dead." β
Somehow, when I heard these two words at first glance, I couldn't help but feel a heat in my eyes, and after a moment's relief, I asked, "Why did Lord Naersu suddenly die?" β
I felt a drop of warm water fall on the back of my hand, I knew, it was tears, Zai Yan took a deep breath, and only said four words: "I can't help myself." β
"Involuntarily?"
I remember that day Narsu also said these four words to me.
Zai Yan said: "The day before yesterday, when Boyan Namo asked me to take my third son back to the left wing of Horqin to pay tribute to the tomb of the monk king, I should have noticed that something was wrong, if I didn't allow it, Naersu probably wouldn't have died." β
I was surprised, "Didn't Lord Narsu commit suicide by swallowing gold at home?" β
Zai Yan said: "In order to calm the calamity, Boyan Namu personally broke the gold tweezer in his hand, so that Narsu could swallow the gold and commit suicide." β
I was more and more puzzled, "Woe to me? β
I immediately reacted, "Does it have anything to do with Galeries Lafayette?" β
Zai Yan smiled bitterly, "I arranged for Narsu to go to Ningshou Palace to inquire about the news, but I never thought that Lafayette would ...... Unexpectedly...... "For a long time, Zai Yan couldn't speak."
My heart also rose and I asked, "What?" β
Zai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I never thought that Lafayette would be ambiguous when he saw Narsu's talent, and secretly colluded with Li Lianying to force Narsu to comply. β
What the!
Is that the truth?!
Then haven't I always been wrong to blame Narsu, and I have said so many decisive words to him, thinking about it, and regretting that I didn't do it at the beginning!
But it has come to this, and it is useless to regret it.
Thinking about it carefully at this moment, I don't think there is anything strange about all this, Naersu Tianting is full, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his talents and appearances are extraordinary, Cixi saw that her heart was swaying, and it was not a problem to dream back to her life at midnight, but no one would or dare to think about it at that time.
I said softly, "Your Majesty...... Did you know all along? β
Zai Yan shook his head slowly, "This morning, I personally asked Boyan Namu to know that there are so many twists and turns," and said, "Boyan Namo holds dozens of positions such as the commander of the Nine Gates, the minister of the guard, and the minister of the imperial front, and he is in a high position, and after learning that his son Narsu had an affair with Lafayette, he was like a thunderbolt from the sky, I am afraid that once this matter is leaked, Lafayette will definitely destroy the nine clans, and Boyan Namo thinks that the great achievements of his ancestors for the imperial court will also be ruined because of this, so, Boyan Namu came up with a plan," and with another low sigh, "I ...... I can't help Narsu, I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me......" As he spoke, he gently stroked my hands, and finally turned around, his face was full of sadness like an urn of dry water in autumn, and he looked down at me, "Zhen'er, can you understand......
I hooked the corners of my mouth to make a smile, "Your Majesty, Zhen'er understands that the emperor is sad for Lord Narsu's death, but the emperor should not be angry with himself, Lord Narsu's 'spring breeze is proud, and he can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day', which can be regarded as unrestrained, and it is not in vain to be able to be like Lord Narsu," and said, "What's more, Lord Narsu died for the family, probably willingly, and Lord Narsu served the emperor before his death, The adults don't want the emperor to damage himself because of his excessive grief, Zhen'er thinks that the most reluctant thing for Lord Narsu should be the wife at home, and hopes that the emperor can arrange his future life for his good life. β
Zai Yan nodded, "Boyan Namu told me that I made two requests before I died, one is that I hope that my son Amur Linggui can be born well, and the other is that I hope that I can be buried in the tomb of Korqin Ancestor after death. β
I was surprised, "Lord Narsu already has a son?" β
Zai Yan rarely smiled, "The posthumous son is naturally not born yet." β
I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What if it's a daughter?" β
Zai Yan said: "Then I will make an exception and seal it as Heshuo Gegege." β
I smiled lightly, turned around and walked to the table and laid out plain paper, followed by a pen in a silver bowl with a gold mouth and plum blossom pattern, and picked up Longyou vermilion ink and grinded it carefully in the red silk inkstone, raised it and smiled at Zaiyan: "Your Majesty, please." β
Zai Yan stared at me, his eyes were as deep as the water in a quiet pool, and he walked over quietly, writing and saying: "The order of the imperial court: Baylor will lead the ten guards to the old Korqin Belle Narsu tea and wine, and the reward will be as usual, and the son Amur Linggui will be the lord." β
In this way, quietly accompanied by Zai Xiang until the evening, the moonlight is faint, like a leaf in the vast sea is groping for the progress of the boat, the upper part of the sundial white jade Sumeru seat in front of the palace is engraved with cloud patterns, the middle girdle is carved with mountain stone patterns, the lower carved water lines, the starlight is blurred, it is about the unitary time, the wind blows lightly, the leaves that have swayed and collided with the day are also tired, all the sounds are silent, even the birds flying and chirping in the day are no longer singing, I and my clothes are lying on the moon couch under the window, and the mountains are on my side, He looked up at the bleak stars outside the window, and without saying a word, I suddenly called out: "Your Majesty." β
"Huh?"
I casually asked, "If the emperor was in the realm of Lord Naersu, would he do the same?" β
He shook his head, "I won't. β
I turned my face sideways and asked, "Why?" β
He withdrew his gaze and looked at me fixedly, "Where my heart desires, I will want my body." β
I lowered my head and chuckled, "The emperor laughed. β
He cupped my face and said to me: "The beginning of love is that I go deep, I can see that Concubine Jin's heart is not in me, and where my heart is, Concubine Jin also knows, and it is just like respecting each other, but it is just right, as for the queen...... It's really Lafayette who made the mistake of ordering the mandarin duck score. β
I looked at him and said, "If it weren't for Zhen'er, the emperor and the queen might not be like this." β
The corners of his mouth twitched, shook his head, and said, "I am not the queen's beloved, even if I don't have Zhen'er. β
The night breeze poured in from the moonlight window, a little cool, and suddenly remembered many words that Princess Rongshou said a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but be stunned, and he hurriedly pulled the thin quilt from the end of the couch and gently covered Zai Yan's body, he stared at me lightly, grabbed my wrist, looked at each other for a long time, and said quietly: "Zhen'er, do you know, since I entered the palace at the age of four, no one has been so good to me." β
I smiled faintly, leaned my head lightly on his shoulder, looked at him in a daze, his eyes flashed like water waves, and for a moment, my hand slowly stroked his delicate face, and my heart was extremely compassionate, "I'm sorry for the emperor, Zhen'er, it's too late." β
