Volume 1 Reborn in Antiquity Chapter 20
After this incident, Dongfang Heng began to deal with the government affairs, and went straight to Nangong in the next court, and the rest did not change.
The emperor and the queen were attacked and assassinated, the queen was frightened and seriously ill, and her body became weaker.
At this time, Imperial Physician Mu He walked out of the East Palace worriedly, shook his head and sighed, as if the queen was not saved. (Inside: This queen is really pretending to be sick and pretending to be addicted!) I also have to find this official to hide and make a show! )
Inner Sanctum
Xin'er and Xiaohua guarded the door of the inner room, and no one was allowed to enter.
Inner room
Xin Meng was lying on the chaise longue, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and while eating melon seeds, he thought about the assassination that day:
It is impossible for a large number of assassins in the harem to infiltrate without being discovered, and someone must have deliberately let them in.
There are not many people who can hide people's eyes and ears and do this...
These people are Dongfang Zefu, Dongfang Heng, the Queen Mother, and the Virtuous Concubine.
Dongfang Zefu and I have no grievances and no enmity, and it is a cooperative relationship, so there is no reason to want my life.
Dongfang Heng is possible, and he wants me to get out of the palace and give up the position of queen.
Dowager... I can't see what I'm trying to do, it's not bad for me, and I'm doing things until the point.
Needless to say, Concubine Xian is the one who really wants to kill me, but how can she avoid her eyes and ears and let a vote of people in black in?
The others don't have much to do with each other, let alone have grudges.
couldn't figure it out, and whispered: "Xin Bai, you have to protect me well, my life is worried about many people..."
I just drank a pair of tranquilizers prescribed by Mu He, and drowsiness struck, and my eyes were hazy, as if I saw Xin Bai coming to my side...
Xin Bai indifferently covered her with the fox fur blanket in her hand, and when she heard someone coming, she disappeared in place in an instant.
Xin'er came in with charcoal to add the stove, glanced at the master, and exited the inner room with peace of mind, guarding the door.
At noon, Xiaohua walked into the inner hall and saw Xin'er sitting at the door of the inner room, chuckling and said, "Sister Xin'er is going to rest and prepare Niangniang's lunch, Xiaohua is guarding here." ”
Xin'er nodded, walked out, thinking that it would be better to go to the imperial dining room, the master needs to make up for it recently.
Passing by the Imperial Garden, I saw two palace slaves arguing, curiously went over to take a look, and when I got closer, it turned out that it was for a palace maid named Xiaohua to fight for the wind and be jealous, and I felt bored for a while, so I turned around and left.
Thinking: Little Flower? Sounds familiar... Forget it, eating is important.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he met Qian Mu coming towards him, and suddenly felt that his feet couldn't move, and said with a red face: "Hello Lord Qian Qian." ”
Qian Mu bowed his head and said, "Hello Miss Xin'er." ”
The two palace slaves stopped immediately when they saw Qian Mu, and walked away in a gloomy manner, originally setting up Xin'er, but they didn't expect Xin'er to be fooled.
Hiding in the distance, I saw Xin'er squirming and squirming and talking with Qian Mu for a few words and then dispersed, and suddenly I couldn't make a plan, and I had another plan.
In the afternoon
When Xiaohua was cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard, she felt that there was someone behind her, and she raised her vigilance, and her figure flashed, and a small pebble wrapped in paper fell at her feet.
Outside the palace walls, after the two palace slaves succeeded, they immediately left here.
Xiaohua flew up to the palace wall, looked at the two figures in the distance, and flew to the ground from the palace wall, picking up the small pebble.
Xin'er walked out of the outer hall and shouted, "Xiaohua, what are you flying up and down!"
Xiaohua lowered her hand and hid it in her sleeve, and said with a little embarrassment: "Xin'er, don't make fun of Xiaohua, the slave doesn't want to practice martial arts to protect her mother." ”
Xin'er walked down, patted Xiaohua on the shoulder excitedly and said, "Xiaohua! Well done! "Then he practiced his fists in the courtyard.
Xiaohua said: "That Xiaohua went in to take care of Niangniang." ”
Xin'er didn't doubt him and nodded.
Xiaohua smiled and walked into the outer hall, and walked directly to the side hall back to the room.
Unexpectedly, all this was seen by Xin Meng, Xin Meng walked out from behind the master, secretly followed, through the gap in the window, saw Xiaohua open the letter paper on the small stone to see, after reading it, she sneered again and again, afraid of being discovered, suspicious to leave back to the outer hall.
Inside the house, Xiaohua sneered when she saw this letter, this is a love letter, or was it written by Qian Mu to Xin'er, as soon as she saw the content of the letter, she knew that it was fake, how could Qian Mu, who was passing by the head, write such a lingering love letter! However, Xin'er will be fooled when she sees it, because Xin'er likes Qian Mu.
Xiaohua walked out of the room and walked to the outer hall, and saw Niangniang sitting there a little haggard, so she felt that it was better not to tell Niangniang, Niangniang was frightened a lot recently, and she should have a good rest.
Xin Meng saw Xiaohua coming over and said, "Xiaohua, make tea."
"Yes, sissy."
Both looked as if nothing had happened.
Xin Meng has to admire Xiaohua's acting skills, she was a good seedling in her previous life!
Late at night
Xiaohua sneaked out of the room, left the East Palace, and according to the love letter, came to the Gongyue Garden, took advantage of the moonlight to see a person in front of him, came behind him, and said angrily: "Bold thief!" Dare to frame Sister Xin'er! ”
Qian Mu turned around when he heard the sound and was stunned when he saw that the person behind him was Xiaohua.
Xiaohua was also stunned when he saw it, how could it be Qian Mu?
Just when the two of them were in a trance, Xin Meng saw the fire not far away, rushed out directly, came to the two of them, quickly pulled out Qian Mu's saber and cut it on his left arm, threw the sword to Qian Mu, pulled Xiaohua to the grass pile next to him, and shouted: "There are assassins!" ”
Xiaohua immediately shouted, "Someone! There are assassins! ”
Qian Mu held the sword steadily, turned around and saw Liu Guifei coming over with a bad face, and instantly understood the queen's intentions, jumped up and left.
Concubine Liu Guifei walked over and saw that the people in front of her were Xin Meng and Xiaohua, her face changed slightly, and she still saluted with a blessed body: "The concubine is the queen." Then he saw blood on her left arm and asked, "The queen was stabbed by the assassin again?" Do you want to call the imperial doctor? ”
The palace maids and palace slaves saluted: "The slaves (slaves) knock to see the queen's mother." ”
Xin Meng got up and stood firm under Xiaohua's support, saw that it was Liu Guifei, and asked, "Why are you here?" You showed up just after Hongu was assassinated. ”
Concubine Liu replied unpanickedly: "The concubine heard that the servant said that someone in the palace was here to disrupt the palace rules, so she came to see it. ”
Xin Meng sneered: "You are so leisurely and elegant, you don't sleep in the middle of the night to catch the adulterer."
Concubine Liu's face changed slightly, avoided her words, and asked directly, "Why did the queen mother appear here?" ”
Xin Meng said: "This palace can't sleep and comes out for a walk, do I still have to report to you?" ”
Concubine Liu said: "The concubine doesn't dare. ”
At this time, Qian Mu led several royal guards over and saluted: "See the queen mother, Weichen just heard a shout and an assassin... Empress! You're hurt! ”
When Concubine Liu Guifei saw Qian Mu coming, her face changed slightly, and she said worriedly: "Queen Mother, why don't you move back to the palace first, and hand it over to the Qian guards here, the concubine is afraid that the assassin is still nearby." ”
Xin Meng said angrily: "Hmph! What is the use of you? Let the palace be assassinated three times and twice, Qian Guard, it stands to reason that you should have been by the emperor's side, why do you always appear in the harem with the Imperial Forest Army? Could it be that you are an Assassin? ”
Qian Mu knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "Weichen is guilty and has poor protection, please punish Niangniang."
The Imperial Forest Army beside him also knelt down, and a bold Royal Forest Army said: "Queen, Lord Qian will not be an assassin, Lord Qian is with us, it is our head who has an accident and cannot do his duty, so Lord Qian Mu will take the place of our head to command the Royal Forest Army." ”
Xin Meng snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Xiaohua followed, glanced back at the kneeling guards, and shouted to them, "Don't hurry up and protect Niangniang!" If the Assassins come again, you won't be killed! ”
Qian Mu got up and led the Imperial Forest Army to follow.
Concubine Liu was gloomy, glanced at the two palace slaves, and said angrily: "Useless things! I can't do that! ”
The two palace slaves knelt down in fear and begged for mercy: "Niangniang spare her life, the slave doesn't know!" Mother's life! ”
Liu Guifei snorted coldly, thinking that she should have been discovered by Xin Meng, and turned around to take people away.
Xin Meng walked with a cold face and didn't stop, and Xiaohua didn't dare to make a sound.
Qian Mu pursed his lips all the way and sent them back to the East Palace before leading the Imperial Forest Army back.
After entering the outer hall, Xiaohua immediately knelt down and said, "Niang Niang gives sin!" ”
Xin Meng sat down and said, "What's the sin?"
Xiaohua secretly glanced at Xin Meng, she couldn't see any emotions from that expressionless face, even her eyes were calm without waves, she lowered her head and said: "Niangniang, Xiaohua picked up a love letter today, it was the other party who mistakenly put Xiaohua as Xin'er, this is the love letter." He took the love letter out of his bosom and offered it.
Xin Meng took the love letter, and it was clear at a glance that it was a game designed for Xin'er, why should he deal with Xin'er, it must be to deal with himself!
Xiaohua said: "The mother gave the sin, and it was Xiaohua who made the decision without authorization. ”
Xin Meng looked down at her and said, "Why do you want to help Xin'er?" Why did you come to Hongu. "As smart and clever as she is, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat a bite of food in the palace.
Xiaohua said: "Xin'er treats the slave and maid like a brother, the slave and the maid are grateful, if Xin'er goes, she will definitely be killed, the mother has been frightened recently, and the slave and maid have the courage to go to the appointment without permission... The slave and maid should die, they didn't find out the thief, but hurt the mother, and the mother gave the sin! Niangniang may have forgotten the slave maid, the slave maid was bullied for the first time when she entered the palace, and it was the maid who saved the slave and gave the slave maid a bite to eat... The slave will never forget the life-saving grace of the mother in this life. After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily and touched his head.
Xin Meng lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes to look at Xiaohua, according to what she said, that was before she came, she was not the real Xin Meng, she didn't have any past memories, and it was difficult to judge whether her words were true or false.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Xin Meng raised his eyes to look over, but he didn't expect it to be Qian Mu.
Qian Mu entered the hall and knelt down directly and said, "Niang Niang gives sin." ”
Xin Meng didn't condemn him, but asked, "Why did Guard Qian come there in the middle of the night?" Xin'er is easy to deceive, but in the name of Xin'er, she must not be able to deceive...
Qian Mu took out a letter and presented it: "Niangniang, please take a look." ”
Xin Meng took out the letter and read it, the content was the same as the love letter to Xin'er, but the signature was indeed herself.
Qian Mu said: "I felt cheating, so I went to the appointment, wanting to see who was so bold... I didn't expect to see a little flower girl..."
Xin Meng said, "Guard Qian, step aside." ”
Qian Mu was stunned for a moment, got up and said, "Yes... This is the medicine that the lowly duty propelled from the Imperial Hospital. He took out a bottle of hemostasis from his bosom and scattered it on the table next to him, and turned to leave.
Xiaohua was still kneeling, thinking that she was really going to leave the East Palace this time.
At this time, Xin'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked out of the inner hall, saw Xiaohua kneeling on the ground, and said, "What is Xiaohua kneeling in the middle of the night, and there are no ghosts." Glancing at the object of Xiaohua's kneeling, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and exclaimed: "Master?!" ”
Xin Meng bowed his head and said, "Well, Xin'er." ”
Xin'er came to her senses and saw that she was injured, so she immediately rushed over and said, "Master, why are you injured? What is Xiaohua still kneeling for! Feel the urgency to get the medicine! ”
Xiaohua said: "I'm sorry, Sister Xin'er, it's..."
Xin Meng said, "Alright, get up."
Xiaohua choked up: "Niangniang..." looked up at her.
Xin'er picked up the hemostatic scatter on the table, looked back and saw the blood on Xiaohua's face, and exclaimed: "Xiaohua, your kowtow is broken." couldn't help but complain a little worriedly, and said: "The master hurt his hand, Xiaohua kowtowed, what happened?!" ”
Xiaohua stood aside and didn't dare to say it.
Xin Meng looked at Xin'er and felt that it was better to tell her, maybe there would be a next time.
I simply told her...
After hearing this, Xin'er immediately knelt down and said, "Master, it's the slave who is not good, and I've caused you trouble." "I didn't expect that I liked Qian Mu but was used to harm my master.
Xiaohua knelt down again and said, "No, it's the slave's fault, don't blame Sister Xin'er."
Xin Meng's brain hurt for a while, these two goods were going to kneel until dawn, waved their hands and said: "Okay, get up and retreat, tonight's incident is a wake-up call for you, go back and review yourself." "Get up and go straight into the inner sanctum.
Xiaohua lowered her head and said, "Sister Xin'er..."
Xin'er helped her up and said, "Don't say anything... Let's go, let's go into the room. ”
Back in the room, Xin'er said: "Sister understands, Xiaohua is for my good, if I see this love letter, I will definitely run to the appointment..."
Xiaohua choked up and said: "Niangniang and Sister Xin'er treat Xiaohua like sisters, Xiaohua has not repaid the favor, how can you be in danger?" ”
Xin'er and Xiaohua hugged each other and comforted each other.
Xin Meng entered the inner room, walked to the screen to change his clothes, took off his underwear and put on a nightdress and walked out.
"Concubine Liu... Just appeared and had to suspect her..."
Xin Meng lay on the chaise longue and crossed her legs, shaking her feet, her nightdress was shaken and slid down to her thighs, and just as she was thinking about it, a piece of cloth fell from the sky to cover herself...
⊙∀⊙!
Looking at the blanket on my body...
Xin Bai? Don't think about it, keep thinking about what just happened...
When I rescued Concubine Liu that day, I never thought that she would unite with herself, since she was an enemy... I thought she would fight Yang Qin...
I didn't expect Concubine Liu and Concubine Xian to join forces to deal with me...
Why did they join forces?
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, so I simply didn't want to do it anymore and went back to bed and fell asleep.
The long night was long, and the cold wind blew in the night, Qian Mu walked on the palace road, secretly blaming himself: he knew that it was a trap or went... Damn it...
Nangong
In the inner room, Yang Qin was lying on the bed, becoming more and more tired as the months increased, sleepy and wanted to sleep.
But when I heard the sound outside, I was so angry that I trembled, it was Dongfang Heng and Ruan Er who were lingering and sympathetic, the more I listened, the more uncomfortable I became, and I was so angry that I wanted to smash things!
"Slut! Slut! Take advantage of the fact that the palace can't serve the emperor, and enter while it's empty! ”
"Damn slut! This palace makes you die a bad death! ”
…
Beigong
Concubine Liu returned to the palace, looked in a hurry, withdrew from everyone, and walked into the inner room by herself.
In the inner room, the man sat on a chair, drank his drink, and watched the person in front of him come by, smiling.
Liu Guifei saw that this man's face was pale and exclaimed, "You?!" What do you come in for! ”
The man chuckled: "Be quiet, does Concubine Liu want to attract others?"
Concubine Liu's face was not good, she glanced behind her, did not alarm the maid outside, walked into the house, turned around and closed the door, and said angrily: "Who are you!" ”
The man's rogue voice: "Don't get out of bed and don't recognize people! But remember, I'm here to help you. ”
Liu Guifei was so angry that her face turned blue: "Help me?" You shameless! ”
The man came to her and whispered softly in her ear, "Do what I say, and you will succeed." ”
…
The next day, early in the morning
Xin Meng sat embroidering in the outer courtyard, Xiaohua stood aside and waited, and Xin'er practiced boxing next to her.
Just now, the palace slave came to report, and Dongfang Heng rewarded the West Palace to Concubine Ruan.
"Master... You don't have to worry about it, this is every three or five will go up. ”
"Sister Xin'er, Niangniang knows it, don't worry."
"Can you not be in a hurry? One or two are going to climb on the head of the master. ”
"Let's get ready for the New Year's banquet."
"It's still far away!"
Xin Meng looked at them helplessly, talking about the palace banquet for the New Year, it seemed to be presided over by the Queen Mother, and I heard that the envoy from the Beiwang Kingdom would arrive in another month.
Beiwangguo... Close to the far north, the real cold and frozen, has always coveted the land of the Tanglin Kingdom.
Xin'er suddenly thought of something, didn't punch anymore, leaned in and said, "Master, the slave told you that the prince of Beiwang Kingdom is a rare beauty!" It's a little more charming than the slave brother! ”
"Sister Xin'er, it's fake! The slave maid heard that the prince of Beiwangguo was an extremely ugly man, short and ugly, which was a shame for Beiwangguo! ”
Xin Meng stopped out loud: "How can you two yellow flower girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet discuss that men are so clear-eyed, and you are not ashamed." I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Xiaohua was also taken crooked by Xin'er, and she talked about men every day.
At this time, the cold wind blows a burst of plum blossoms, and it is the time for the red plums in the plum garden to bloom.
Xin Meng sniffed the fragrance, got up and put down the embroidery, and said, "The weather is good, go to the plum garden to have a look." ”
Xin'er said: "Okay!" Pulling the master to go first, Xiaohua packed up her things and walked into the outer hall.
I met a lot of concubines along the way, and I had no intention of paying attention to them, but I had to go over when I walked to the atrium.
atrium
Dongfang Heng and Concubine Ruan were admiring plum blossoms, as well as Concubine Liu and a few nobles.
Surrounded by concubines, Concubine Liu Guifei saw Xin Meng coming over and took the lead in getting up and said, "The concubine pays a visit to the queen." ”
Ruan Er wanted to leave Dongfang Heng's arms, but she was tightly hugged by her waist and couldn't move, so she had to give up, and she didn't want to grovel to her anyway.
Xin Meng came over and saluted and said, "The concubines attend the emperor."
Dongfang Heng didn't raise his eyes, ignored Xin Meng, pinched Concubine Ruan's jaw with his fingers, and said, "Concubine Ai can only have me in her eyes." ”
Xin Meng still calmly maintained a blessed posture, smiling, this difficulty is nothing.
