Volume 1 Reborn in Antiquity Chapter 4 The Assassin Infiltrates and the Autumn Plum Blooms

It's getting cooler at night...

Xin Meng read the historical records at night, and I knew too little from Xin'er's mouth, so I should read the book to supplement it.

The Tanglin Kingdom has a history of 100 years, with the Xizhu Kingdom and the Nanyun Kingdom next to it, the Beiwang Kingdom after it, and the rest of the large and small vassal countries and tribes.

It looks a bit like the era of Xia Shang Zhou, where the heavens were respected, and every country had an existence similar to the Heavenly Master and the National Teacher, and even a small tribe had the existence of a priest.

History always has striking parallels.

I suddenly remembered a paper I read in my previous life, which probably said that parallel space, each world is equal...

Suddenly, the window was slammed open, and a dark shadow flashed.

Xin Meng came back to her senses and looked up at the window not far away. Put down the historical record in his hand, got up and walked over, looked out the window, there was no figure, looked down at the blood stains on it, and heard a chaotic sound outside.

and Xin'er's voice blocking it.

Outside the palace, Xin'er looked at the menacing Imperial Forest Army, but still dared to stop them, and said, "Bold! This is the East Palace, how can you enter it at will! ”

Qian Mu stepped forward and said: "In front of the imperial guard Qian Mu, only then did an assassin sneak in to assassinate, he was defeated by the master in the palace, he was injured and fled, and he came to the harem. ”

Xin'er looked at Qian Mu in front of her, she just started to be a nymphomaniac, and when she heard him say that there were assassins, she immediately ran into the palace and shouted: "Niangniang has assassins!" Xin'er is here to protect you! ”

Xin'er broke down the door and went straight to the inner sanctum.

Qian Mu followed, but ordered others to search the outer hall and go to the inner hall himself.

After all, it is the queen's inner sanctum, which is forbidden for men to enter.

Inner Sanctum

Xin Meng put down the historical record, looked at the people who rushed in, and said, "Xin'er, why are you so flustered? What are you shouting about the assassins? ”

Xin'er was so frightened that she panicked, pulled up her master, looked left and right, and said, "Niangniang, are you okay?"

Qian Mu stepped forward to salute: "The imperial guard Qian Mu knocked to see the queen's mother." "Look down at the ground.

Xin Meng said: "Don't be polite, I don't know what the money guards are talking about breaking into the harem?" "Watching Xin'er run away, the house is full of assassins.

Qian Mu got up and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, only then did the assassin sneak in and escape to the harem, and the minister was ordered to chase the assassin, and had to disturb the queen's rest." ”

Xin Meng looked at Qian Mu in front of him but was handsome, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, the handsome guys are all national. Seeing that he didn't dare to look directly at himself, he just glanced at him.

Qian Mu took a serious look at the inner hall, and there was nothing suspicious, so he said: "The minister retreats first, if you find an assassin, please call for help, and Weichen will leave some guards outside the East Palace to protect the queen." ”

Xin Meng lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm tired." ”

Qian Mu left the inner hall, came out of the outer hall, and asked, "Have you found anything?" ”

At this time, a subordinate came to report: "My lord, there are blood stains in the surrounding flower beds, and the blood stains lead to the inner hall of the queen's mother..."

Qian Mu said: "It cannot be asserted, this may be a trick of the thief, and the thief has a trick. A few of you stay and guard the East Palace, lest thieves take advantage of it. ”

"Yes."

"The rest of me continued to search the other palaces."

"Yes."

Inner Sanctum

Xin'er searched around and didn't see it, so she was relieved and said, "Master, you go to bed early, Xin'er stays outside the door." ”

Xin Meng bowed his head and watched her leave, cold sweat soaked her satin underwear behind her, and at this moment, a masked man in black was hiding under the table.

"They're gone," he said softly. ”

The man in black came out from under the table and teased: "It's really a person who knows the times as a handsome man." ”

Xin Meng smiled indifferently and said, "I can't afford to lose this life." "Hide all the tension and fear, this is the ancient times when human life is not valuable, and the ancient times are like clouds, and I suddenly feel so insecure!

The man in black sat down generously and said, "Coveting the power of this queen? ”

Xin Meng laughed at herself: "What's the use of the queen's place for me? Then he got up and said: "It's late at night, the palace is going to sleep, this son please take care of himself." ”

The man in black was surprised by her composure, and said sharply: "Aren't you afraid that I will slighten you?" Rape and then kill? ”

Xin Mengtou said without looking back: "The appearance of the palace in the harem is the most unattractive, you go out and turn left to go to Liu Guifei, that posture is good, suitable for you." ”

Tanglin is not the Tang Dynasty, and the people here don't seem to like fat people very much.

Although I have lost a little weight, I am still far from the aesthetics of the people here.

The man in black watched her enter the inner room, poured a cup of tea, dropped the masked towel, and revealed his face, and when he raised his glass, he smelled a light fragrance of flowers on the tip of his nose.

Whisper: "Interesting..."

In the inner room, as soon as Xin Meng relaxed, he lay on the bed weakly, scared to death!

Fortunately, that man is sensible, not an innocent murderer.

After some temptation, he didn't mean to kill himself, and lay on the bed with peace of mind.

If he really wanted to kill himself, no matter how much he was scared, it was useless, let alone the guards guarding outside.

When the man in black heard that there was no movement in the inner room, he lifted the curtain and glanced in, and when he saw her entering the stage of deep sleep, he couldn't help but feel speechless for a while.

Is this woman bold or lacking roots?

An assassin can sleep so peacefully outside!

Following

Xin Meng slept comfortably, and when he woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, he didn't come by himself.

Xin'er came in to serve and dress up, and said, "Master, the slave told you, there are many guards outside the Royal Forest Army!" ”

Xin Meng lowered his eyebrows, could it be that the man in black was still in the East Palace?

Xin'er said: "Master, there is a flower viewing party today, do you want to go?" ”

"Cherry blossom viewing party?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother organized it, it is said that the plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming, and the concubines are invited to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Xin Meng was surprised and said, "Plum blossoms? Will there be plum blossoms in autumn? ”

In modern times, there are artificially cultivated anti-seasonal plums, but I didn't expect that there were also capable people in ancient times.

"Yes, it was sent by the king of war, it is said that when he was rehabilitating the rebels a few years ago, he accidentally found it in a valley, and it was planted by a strange person, and then he was brought back to the palace and dedicated to the queen mother on the queen mother's birthday."

"Well, let's go check it out."

Xin'er smiled and said, "Master, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare dinner." ”

"Xin'er."

"What's wrong with the master?"

"Prepare an extra one, I have a good appetite today."

"Great!"

Xin'er ran to prepare meals without doubt, after all, the master used to eat eight meals a day.

Xin Meng sighed slightly: "Although I don't know when you will leave, let's leave when you are full!" "I got up and walked out of the inner room, although I don't know where he is hiding, but I heard that people with strong martial arts have good hearing.

Today, Xin'er didn't eat at the same table with herself, so she left after serving the meal.

Xin Meng shook her head, how could there be such a girl? You don't have to guess to know that she must have gone to see those handsome guards.

"Hey..."

At this time, a moving voice came from behind him: "Why sigh?" ”

Xin Meng looked back at the person behind him in shock, a stunning beauty, seeing her wearing palace clothes, she looked at him suspiciously, when did there be an extra palace maid in the East Palace?

"You were from last night..."

"It's not good to be too smart."

She tilted her head slightly, and when she faced it again, she changed to a bland face.

Xin Meng was surprised!

Is this the ancient transfiguration? Sure enough!

Seeing her sit down and eat breakfast, I couldn't help but wonder, wasn't the assassin last night a man? Why is it a palace maid who shows up today?

The palace maid raised her eyes and looked at her, and said, "What are you looking at?" Slaves and maids are not good women. ”

At this time, Xin'er came back from seeing the perfect color, and was surprised to see the palace maid sitting there: "Huh? Why is Sister Juan'er here? ”

Juan'er smiled: "Xin'er only has Lord Qian in her eyes, where can I see my sister's figure." ”

Xin'er blushed instantly and said, "Nonsense, it's obvious that you sneaked in through the hole in the palace wall, and there are guards outside, otherwise I wouldn't know how to enter the door." ”

Juan'er smiled silently.

Xin Meng glanced at Juan'er, she was really the palace maid of the harem, why hadn't she seen it?

Forget it, more is better than less.

After breakfast, Xin'er and Juan'er waited for Xin Meng to come out of the inner hall.

As soon as he left the inner hall, he saw Qian Mu waiting at the gate of the outer hall.

Xin'er was overjoyed and ran over and shouted, "Lord Qian! Ahem... Master, it's Lord Qian. Sensing that there was a bit of a gaffe, he quickly lowered his head.

Juan'er hid her face and smiled.

Qian Mu saluted and said, "Wechen knocks to see the queen."

Xin Meng walked over and said, "Well, don't be polite, did the Qian guards already catch the assassin so early?" ”

Qian Mu got up and replied, "Back to the queen, I haven't caught it yet." Seeing some palace maids beside the queen, he asked directly: "Are you the palace maid of the East Palace?" What is it called? Why haven't I seen it and it's not in the album? ”

Juan'er replied without humility or arrogance: "Slave Juan'er, it's not from the East Palace, it's from Cining Palace." ”

Qian Mu asked with a cold face, "How did you get in?" ”

Xin'er hurriedly said, "It was drilled into the hole!" ”

Qian Mu looked at Xin'er sideways and asked, "Drill holes?" ”

Juan'er replied, "Yes, Lord Qian, there is a hole in the dilapidated palace wall on the west side, and it is from there that the slaves and maids came in. ”

Xin Meng said, "You might as well go and have a look." ”

Xin'er happily took them to see the hole in the wall.

"This is it!"

The palace wall on the west side looks a little dilapidated, and it is not repaired, and there are climbing vines planted in the corner, and it grows well, and the hole is hidden, if you don't look carefully, you really haven't found it.

Xin'er came to her master and said, "Niangniang, Juan'er is not an assassin, every time we are hungry and dizzy, Juan'er secretly eats for us from here. ”

Xin Meng was a little surprised, and instantly took her hand with great emotion, and said movingly: "I see, I have a heart, how should this palace reward you?" ”

Sure enough, this Juan'er is not Juan'er, but if he can know these things, he should be very familiar with the harem.

Juan'er withdrew her hand without a trace, lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Juan'er just can't get used to them bullying the queen, the queen is not a bad person." ”

Qian Mu saluted: "Since there are no suspicious people in the East Palace, Weichen will retreat first." ”

Juan'er said with palpitations: "Thank you Sister Xin'er for speaking for Juan'er." ”

Xin'er patted her chest and said, "Who are the two of us!" ”

Juan'er nodded, and said, "Queen Mother, the slave maid took a step back first, and the queen mother was busy enjoying the flowers and waiting for the slave maid." ”

Xin Meng lowered her eyebrows and watched her leave the field of vision before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is the sigh of the master! It's so unlucky! Let's go! Hurry to the Imperial Garden! I heard that the emperor will come, you should go over early to take the limelight! ”

Xin'er worked hard to pull her master out.

Fortunately, the East Palace is not far from the Imperial Garden, which is fast, and it is the first to go to the Imperial Garden Plum Garden.

There are many palace maids and palace slaves in the plum garden, and because they bow their heads to work, they really haven't seen the queen coming.

And in the harem, the queen has the least honor guard when she goes out... When other concubines travel, they can know from afar, and they are majestic.

When a palace slave got up, he found the queen mother standing beside him, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and shouted: "Meet the queen mother!" ”

The rest of the palace slaves and palace maids heard the prestige and saw that it was really the queen's mother, and they knelt down and saluted: "Meet the queen's mother." ”

Xin Meng bowed his head and said: "Don't be polite, continue the work at hand, don't care about the existence of this palace." ”

The palace slaves and palace maids received the order: "Yes, obey." I got up in a panic and continued to be busy with manual work, but I was more cautious and cautious, for fear that something would go wrong.

Although the queen is not favored, even the queen mother and the emperor dare not despise it, and those who are slaves dare not dare!

Xin Meng ignored them, looking down at these red plums, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, and it was not submerged in these thousands of flowers.

On a whim, he asked: "Xin'er, do you think this plum blossom is okay to make plum blossom cake?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't done it."

The conversation between the two masters and servants frightened everyone's faces pale, and the queen's reputation for scourging flowers and plants became famous.

A girl in brocade clothes came over and said, "Hehe, you can try it, but my flowers and plants are used to fill your stomach, and they are for the queen mother to enjoy." ”

Xin Meng heard the sound and looked over, and Xin'er whispered in her ear: "Master, she is that strange person, Miss Mo, the red man next to the Queen Mother." ”

"The courtier Mo Yao knocked on the queen's mother."

Xin Meng watched her perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and there was no one in her eyes, so she didn't put herself in her eyes at all, revealing a sense of hostility, and couldn't help frowning: "Courtier? Which minister's daughter? ”

Mo Yao blushed and said, "You!"

Xin'er whispered beside her: "Master, she is a strange person sent by the King of War, not a minister and a concubine." ”

Mo Yao said proudly: "I am the person of the War King. ”

Xin Meng said: "That's a slave girl, who has no official position and no rank, but she acts like a monarch and a minister, presumptuous!" ”

Mo Yao said angrily: "You! You insulted me! stepped forward and raised her hand to slap it, Xin'er pushed Xinmeng away and suffered this slap.

Xin Meng stumbled and sat on the ground, and Xin'er was hit by this slap on her red and swollen cheeks.

Mo Yao snorted coldly: "It's just an unfavored queen." ”

A loud shout: "Stop! ”

A figure flew over and slapped Mo Yao with a palm, and Mo Yao turned sideways to avoid it and took a half step back.

Xin'er hurriedly said: "Master! Are you alright? Hurriedly helped Xin Meng.

Mo Yao said angrily: "Bold! Sneak attack on Miss Ben! ”

The person who came was Qian Mu, the imperial guard, who stood in front of him with a cold face.

At this time, he said: "The Queen Mother has arrived." "Came.

The Queen Mother led a group of concubines to come, Mo Yao turned around and walked over, and said with red eyes: "Queen Mother." ”

"The minister knocked to see the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother is auspicious."

"Meet the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother bowed her head, patted the back of Mo Yao's hand, and said, "What's wrong?" Who bullied Yao'er, such a aggrieved look. ”

Mo Yao looked at Xin Meng, her eyes were red, and she said, "Queen Mother, the queen insulted Yao'er as a slave girl..."

The Queen Mother was a little surprised: "Queen? Raise your eyes to the Queen.

Xin'er stood up and pointed at her angrily and said, "You still openly attacked Niangniang!" It's my wit that blocked it! The shameless wicked person sues first! ”

Mo Yao's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! ”

Xin Meng said: "Xin'er is not talking nonsense, didn't she have a slap in the face?" I don't understand the mudra. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at half of Xin'er's swollen face, then glanced at Mo Yao and lowered her head, and said, "Okay, okay, Yao'er has just entered the palace, and there are many things that I don't understand." ”

Concubine Liu came out and said, "Yes, sister, don't care, it's ruined today's good mood." ”

Xin Meng knew at a glance that the Queen Mother wanted to protect this Mo Yao.

Xin'er secretly pulled the sleeve of her master's shirt and signaled not to stand up for herself.

Xin Meng stepped forward and said with a cold face: "Queen Mother, this Mo Yao is not a courtier, but she calls herself a courtier as a courtier, and she insults the concubine as an unfavored queen and openly assassinates her, if it weren't for the concubine and maidservant Qian Guards to come to the rescue, the palace doesn't know if she can stand here intact." After finishing speaking, he looked at Mo Yao with palpitations.

Mo Yao took a step forward and said, "You! ”

Xin Meng pretended to be scared and hid behind Qian Mu, shouting, "Help! I'm going to kill someone! ”

Qian Mu glanced at Xin Meng behind him, drew his knife to Mo Yao, and shouted, "Bold! Unrepentant! He also shot at the queen again. ”

Mo Yao anxiously turned back to the Queen Mother and said, "I don't, the Queen Mother wants to make decisions for me." ”

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, this Mo Yao was too ignorant, and said unhappily: "Grandma Sun, take Mo Yao down to learn the palace rules, and if you don't learn well, you can't go out of the palace gate for half a step." The queen mother is the world, why bother with this child's petty fight. ”

Xin Meng walked out from behind Qian Mu, and lowered her eyebrows: "Yes, the queen mother is right, and the concubine is careful." The Queen Mother tolerated Mo Yao again and again, and this matter could no longer be held on.

Hmph, the days are so long, there is time to settle accounts!

The Queen Mother bowed her head, entered the first seat, and said, "Sit down." ”

Xin Meng sat down with his head bowed, Qian Mu retired, and under the order of the Queen Mother, the concubines began to enjoy the flowers.

Xin Meng quietly asked Xin'er to retreat into the imperial hospital to ask for some medicine to apply to her face, and cooperated with their flower viewing with a smile.

Just made such a fuss, and the concubines and concubines were also interested in not looking for trouble with the queen, and they were happy for a while.

The Queen Mother looked at the plum blossoms in the garden and was also happy, and she left first after half an hour of enjoying the flowers, so that the concubines could enjoy it by themselves.

So many concubines waited dryly for the arrival of the emperor in the plum garden, so that Bo Longyan smiled for grace.

Xin Meng glanced at everyone coldly and got up to leave.

As soon as the queen left, the concubines became more comfortable.

Xin Meng walked out of the plum garden and walked directly back to the East Palace, on the way, she saw Juan'er and Xin'er walking together from a distance, and watched them leave with a half-frown.
