Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter 176: Shadows in Pairs (I)
After Shangguan Jiuxiao walked away, Leng Qing had quietly come to Shangguan Qingxiao's side.
"Lord Wang, the palace maid who was executed by the Queen Mother is called Red Sleeves, and she is the person valued by the Fifth Highness, and now although the Fifth Highness has temporarily reined in due to your advice, it is conceivable that the Liangzi between him and the second lady will be concluded."
"After a while, she'll have something to plan." Shangguan Qingyu's tone softened unconsciously when he said this, but his eyes were still cold.
"In the past, I only thought that the eldest lady was a femme fatale, but I didn't expect that the second lady, who has never hurt the innocent now, would also ......" Leng Qing realized halfway through his speech that he was counting Ning Zhixuan, so he hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.
"The red wall of Ziyun City, the power of the cold in the heights, is a place of prison that imprisons people and devours people's hearts." Shangguan Qingqiao was able to give birth to many emotions that he had never had on weekdays because of the bright figure in red clothes outlined in his mind.
"Lord Wang, what are you talking about? The subordinates didn't understand it very well. It was rare for Leng Qing to see that Shangguan Qingqiao had a sad or soft look on his face, but he forgot the rules on weekdays and asked about the deep meaning of Shangguan Qingqiao's words.
What is rare is that Shangguan Qingqiao is actually willing to explain to Leng Qing: "Only such a ruthless heart is qualified to cooperate with this king." ”
The sky was still clear, but it was dark all of a sudden.
Leng Qing looked at the hazy sky above his head and said: "This weather is really changing, I'm afraid it will rain heavily for a while." Saying that, he looked at Shangguan Qingyi's face, and asked tentatively: "The second lady is still kneeling in Shoukang Palace, can the prince go to Shoukang Palace?" ”
"Go." Shangguan Qingqiao got up and strode towards the outside of the pavilion, "This king is going to the imperial hospital?" ”
"Imperial Hospital?" Leng Qing was a little confused, but he was still busy following behind Shangguan Qingqiao.
It rained heavily when it was just dark, and the pouring rain fell, making people unable to open their eyes, and the palace people rushed to hide under the eaves to avoid the rain, only Ning Zhixuan, who was kneeling outside the Shoukang Palace, and Shangguan Hanyue, who was standing on the eaves, were soaked by the rain.
Ning Zhiyun couldn't open her eyes because of the heavy rain, and barely saw that the entire Ziyun City had become blurred, she reached out to catch the rain, and let the rain wash her hands repeatedly.
In the imperial hospital, Su Xin packed up the medical books and a variety of medicinal materials, and walked to the door to know that it was raining outside, so she thought that Ning Zhixuan was still kneeling outside the Shoukang Palace, and took an oil-paper umbrella on the shelf and ran outside.
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Qingyu walked out of the shadows and called Su Xin, who had already rushed into the rain.
Su Xin heard Shangguan Qingyu's voice, and was stunned on the spot, that is, he didn't even realize that the oil-paper umbrella in his hand fell to the ground, and stood in the rain in a daze.
The palace maids and eunuchs who kept vigil outside Shoukang Palace talked about it one after another.
A palace maid said: "Don't look at the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion who is gentle and weak on weekdays, her body is really strong, and she still kneels there motionless after being drenched in the rain for so long." ”
A little eunuch looked at Ning Zhixuan, who was kneeling straight in the rain, and said, "That second young lady is really powerful, and today she has forced the red sleeves around Concubine Li to a dead end. ”
"Not really! The heart is really ruthless. ”
"Now that she has offended Concubine Li, it is equivalent to offending the king of Anjun, what good fruit will she eat in the future?"
"The second lady is protected by the ninth princess, and the emperor loves the ninth princess more than the king of Anjun."
"The ninth princess will marry after all if she is favored again, not to mention that I just heard that Prince Yu has sent someone to lock the ninth princess in Chasing the Moon Xuan."
"Hasn't Prince Yu always been thinking about Second Miss?"
"The prince of gold and jade, where would he really ask to marry the daughter of a subordinate, most of them just look at her freshness."
When she learned that Shangguan Yunxin was locked up in Chasing Moon Xuan, she was also relieved a lot, otherwise with her temperament, she would definitely have to go to the emperor or the queen mother to intercede for herself.
In the Imperial Hospital, Shangguan Qingyu looked at Su Xin, who was drenched in heavy rain for a moment, and said, "What are you doing there?" Do you want this king to accompany you in the rain? ”
Su Xin was awakened by Shangguan Qingqiao's cold voice, and hurriedly rushed to the corridor and saluted: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness Prince Heng. ”
"You're going to give her an umbrella?" Shangguan Qingqiao asked.
Su Xin replied: "The slave maid is worried about Miss!" Now Su Xin also feels that Fang Cai's behavior is too impulsive, Ning Zhixuan knelt down to ask for punishment in order to show her sincerity in knowing her mistakes, and now she ran to deliver the umbrella for fear that she would give someone a handle.
"You said on this rainy day, when are we going to move those potted flowers?" In the distance, a group of palace maids walked into the imperial hospital together, and Su Xin knew that they saw that the rain was heavy, so they came to move the potted flowers that could be used for medicine to the porch to avoid the rain.
"Lord Wang, there are many people with mixed mouths, and the tongue is easy to be right and wrong, and I also ask the prince to go to the house next to him with the slave and maid to hide." Su Xin listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and she was very afraid of being bumped into by someone, and she was soaking wet, standing under the eaves of the porch with Shangguan Qingqiao.
Shangguan Qingqiao also knew that the palace rules in the palace were strict, and if Su Xin was seen under the corridor with him in the middle of the night, he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined, so he followed Su Xin and hid in the house together.
It's really dangerous, Su Xin just closed the door, and the group of palace maids outside turned in through the arch.
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng, please move to the middle of the house and light a candle for you." Su Xin was afraid that people would see the reflection of the person on the window, so she invited Shangguan Qingqiao to go to the back room.
"Lord Wang, please drink tea," Su Xin saw that Shangguan Qingqiao's clothes were a little wet from the rain, and she was afraid that she would catch the cold, so she helped him make a cup of hot tea.
"Hmm." Shangguan Qingqiao stood with his hands in his hands, but his back was to Su Xin.
Su Xin realized that Shangguan Qingqiao had been carrying her since she entered the house, and Su Xin looked at herself in confusion, only to suddenly find that her clothes were already soaked at some point, and because it was a light juan gauze material in summer, she could faintly see the innermost small clothes.
"Your Highness, please use tea, and the slave and maid will come when they go." Su Xin was already clasping his hands to his chest while speaking, and ran to behind a large screen in the house with a red face.
This was originally a place assigned by the imperial hospital for her to take a lunch break, the medical lady is different from the palace maid, and Su Xin was personally assigned by the queen mother to come to the imperial hospital. After half a day's effort, the palace people in the embroidery room sent Su Xin the uniform of a doctor in the imperial hospital, but it was a coincidence that Su Jinxin's dilemma was solved.
When Su Xin changed into the clothes of the medical girl and came out from behind the screen, Shangguan Qingyu was also coming in from outside, and Su Xin knew that the people outside would not be able to leave for a while and a half as soon as he saw his face.
Shangguan Qingyu suddenly asked, "Do you have any wine here?" ”
"The slave maid will fetch wine for His Highness, and please wait for a while." Su Xin said and walked outside.
