Chapter Forty-Nine: The waves are deep and green, and the islands on the shore are at an end
Although Cai Xiaoxiao and the emperor left Beijing, Wan Defu was responsible for staying behind to embroider the name of the palace.
After all, there are two palace people in Zhaixiu Palace, a fan, and a Wandefu.
No matter how you look at it, it is all Wandefu, and it is more appropriate to stay in the Zhaixiu Palace to guard the palace.
The queens have left, and this Zhai Embroidery Palace naturally has nothing to do.
Before leaving, Cai Xiaoxiao instructed Wan Defu to keep an eye on Concubine Xian's Qinan Palace, especially on the first night of the emperor and the queen's departure from the palace.
You must keep an eye on Qi Nan Palace.
Wan Defu was also very obedient and did it seriously.
It really made Wonderford see something.
Wan Defu saw with his own eyes that after nightfall, Concubine Xian left Qinan Palace with her baggage.
Wan Defu hurriedly flew the pigeon and passed the book to the queen.
Cai Xiaoxiao received the flying pigeon summons, and smiled slightly, if this virtuous concubine is really going to slip away.
It's exactly the same as Cai Xiaoxiao expected.
Su Wanyue was suspicious, and the probability of going to Wuzhou to confirm what Lord Shui said was very high.
Of course, there will also be probability events, so in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Cai Xiaoxiao asked Wan Defu to stare at Concubine Xian.
Since Concubine Xian has already gone to Wuzhou, she naturally wants to arrest Concubine Bao.
In this way, Concubine Xian can leave a good impression, and when this impression is good, Concubine Xian can also be used by Cai Yu.
This trust is always in the first place.
With trust, the following things can be done.
This is to arrest Concubine Bao Xian, Cai Xiaoxiao naturally can't go, and can only let the emperor do it.
One sings white-faced, and the other sings black-faced.
Besides, even if Cai Xiaoxiao wants to catch it, this body can't stand the toss now.
Well, forget it. There are only two palace people in this Zhaixiu Palace, one stays in the Zhaixiu Palace, and the other is a fan, so they have to follow Cai Xiaoxiao and take care of Cai Xiaoxiao.
This is no one to send, so naturally the emperor has to contribute.
The emperor also listened to Cai Xiaoxiao's words, and really sent two people to Wuzhou.
Wuzhou was the capital of the former dynasty, and there was nothing wrong with the emperor sending two people to investigate secretly, or to investigate in a bright and bright way, and naturally it would not make people suspicious, thinking that it was the queen's doing.
The two of them are not stupid, and their methods are very old-fashioned, waiting for the rabbit.
Staying next to the inn, I don't believe that I can't wait for Concubine Xian.
I haven't heard that Concubine Xian has relatives in Wuzhou, and if she wants to sleep at night when she goes out, the inn is a must-pass place.
Mouse, Wuzhou is different from the past, and there are not too many inns.
Before leaving, the emperor also ordered that he could not inquire, and could only regard it as a coincidence.
Therefore, waiting for the rabbit is also the best way now.
The two squatted in several inns, and finally found Concubine Xian in an inn on the third day.
The two followed Concubine Xian and found that Concubine Xian had gone to the farmland.
The two observed for a day, and they didn't find any major movements of Concubine Xian, which was nothing more than helping the peasants with farm work.
The two returned to the inn and stayed at the inn where Concubine Xian lived. Prepare to wait for the return of Concubine Xian, and pretend to meet by chance.
The two were eating downstairs when Concubine Xian came in.
Concubine Xian didn't pay attention to these two people at all.
The two of them had already paid attention to Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian stepped into the door of the inn with her left foot.
The two of them stood up and walked over to Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian saw clearly at this time that it turned out to be the emperor's imperial guards, Yuan Xiaoai and Bai Bird Fei.
Concubine Xian naturally refused to admit it, "If the two eldest brothers live in the hotel, the front desk is over there." ”
"Concubine Xian." Yuan Xiaoai said very loudly.
"You must have recognized the wrong person. I'm just an ordinary village woman, you must have recognized the wrong person. ”
"If Niangniang gives the emperor a green hat, we have to return to the emperor truthfully." The white bird flies and really gives people a hat.
Concubine Xian looked at it and thought to herself, forget it, since she was caught, Concubine Xian could only admit it.
But Concubine Xian is also very curious, the imperial guards are here, could it be that the emperor also came to Wuzhou?
"Did that one come to Wuzhou?" Concubine Xian asked in a voice.
"No, the two of us just came to Wuzhou to investigate, and I happened to live in this inn, and I happened to meet you, but I didn't expect it to be you." Yuan Xiaoai is quite good at talking.
"Niangniang, let's come with us." White birds fly.
"Can't you just pretend you didn't see it?" Concubine Xian wanted to put Concubine Xian's shelf to see if it could be useful.
"Don't embarrass us. If you go back with us, it depends on what you mean. We can't be the master. "Yuan Xiaoai
It seems that Concubine Xian's shelf is not easy to use.
Concubine Xian accepted a grievance in her heart, and it seemed that she was really unlucky.
But think about it, this emperor's summer resort is not far from Wuzhou, and it is not surprising that the emperor sent someone to investigate.
"Okay, okay, I'll admit it. I'll go upstairs and clean up. You are waiting here. ”
The two of them looked at Concubine Xian and didn't speak, so they stood in front of Concubine Xian, which was obviously refusing with action.
Concubine Xian is good at martial arts, but when he goes upstairs, he is a concubine, and he can't go into the house to watch Concubine Xian clean up. If Concubine Xian jumps out of a window and leaves, it will be troublesome.
With such an obvious refusal, Concubine Xian naturally saw it.
"Alright, alright. I'll just go and say a few words to the shopkeeper. ”
Concubine Xian asked the shopkeeper to tell Su Wanyue that she would return after leaving for two days, so that he should not worry.
After explaining, Concubine Xian followed the two of them.
Concubine Xian was caught in the summer resort, and the emperor naturally counted Concubine Xian once.
"Concubine Xian, you're getting bolder, aren't you?" The emperor pretended to be a dragon and said angrily.
Concubine Xian didn't dare to speak, and knelt on the ground pitifully.
"Even if you sneak out of the palace, I really close my eyes. Now it's good, they all went to Wuzhou. Concubine Xian, are you going to heaven? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Xian's grievances are not the same as Cai Xiao's grievances.
Cai Xiaoxiao is either a cat-like grievance, or a righteous grievance.
Concubine Xian's grievances can't really be called grievances, after all, she was arrested.
I can only feel aggrieved in my heart that I was arrested, but after all, I still did the wrong thing.
confessed to the law, and had a correct attitude, but now he can only have a better attitude and let the emperor punish him lightly.
"Don't dare! They have already arrived in Wuzhou, and they still say they don't dare. What else do you dare not dare to do now? "When did the emperor also learn Cai Yu's set of skills, not to mention the words, but also to add a little meaning.
"Your Majesty, this is serious. How many concubines have the courage of the emperor, you naturally know best. The concubine is greedy for fun, and she goes to Wuzhou to play. There is nothing else, and there is no disgrace with the emperor. "Concubine Xian can also be regarded as telling the truth to defend herself.
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian from head to toe, "This is not called disgrace, what is it?" Look at you, what are you wearing? How can there be a little bit of a virtuous concubine. When you stop on the street, who can say that you are a virtuous concubine. Don't say it's on the street, just stand at the gate of your Qinan Palace, you can see that the people in your palace can recognize you, are you a virtuous concubine? ”
"It's really hard to say about the concubines on this street. There are few people in Qinan Palace of the concubines, if they don't know the concubines. When the concubines go back, they must be cleaned up. The emperor's concubines are not doing anything to steal chickens and dogs. Isn't it just to get acquainted with the villagers? "Concubine Xian is also very sincere, what the emperor asks and answers.
"Familiar with the villagers, Concubine Xian doesn't want to observe the people's feelings for me!" The emperor is obviously ridiculing Concubine Xian.
"It's just small talk. The IQ of the concubine can only be talked to the villagers, not to the officials. Even if the concubine wants to, people don't want to deal with the concubine. Only these villagers do not dislike the stupid concubines and are willing to talk to the concubines. "Concubine Xian's words are just right. It's a good excuse to show weakness.
"You're self-aware. What did you talk to the villagers? "When the emperor heard the words of this virtuous concubine, he always felt very funny, but he couldn't say it clearly.
"Let's talk about the villagers' harvest this year, whose family died, whose family married and had children, and so on."
"That's all."
"yes. The villagers like the concubines, and they also ask the concubines if they can marry, and if they are not married, they should mention the concubines as matchmakers. The concubine naturally wants to say that she has already married. "Concubine Xian's courage is also a little bit of his father, and Mrs. Xia's meaning is in it.
Honest people, tell the truth, good and bad, what should be said and what should not be said, as long as you touch the edge, say it.
The emperor glared at Concubine Xian and did not speak.
At this time, the fan came in.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor."
The fan whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
The emperor looked at the virtuous concubine who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the fan and said.
"Since you are here, Concubine Xian, you can take it back to the queen and hand it over to the queen to dispose of. Concubine Xian is also the concubine of the harem, and the queen still has the final say in this harem. The emperor looked at Concubine Xian again, "Concubine Xian, you can follow the fan to the queen, and the queen will do what she says to deal with you." ”
"The concubine obeys." Hearing this, Concubine Xian's heart was a relief.
Finally, I don't have to talk to the emperor.
Talking to the emperor is a tiring word.
If Concubine Xian was asked to choose between moving bricks and carrying sand and the emperor speaking, Concubine Xian would definitely choose to move bricks and sand without hesitation.
When speaking to the emperor, be cautious in your words and behave carefully.
You have to kneel on the ground at every turn.
If you change it, you probably don't want to talk to the emperor.
Of course, one thing descends one thing, and Cai is an exception.
Concubine Xian got the emperor's words, and obediently followed behind the fan, and when she arrived at the queen's house, Concubine Xian didn't know that the queen was injured at this time.
Of course, the queen has this matter, and the emperor has ordered it to be blocked, and no one is allowed to leak half a sentence.
Concubine Xian is in Wuzhou, so naturally she doesn't know.
Concubine Xian looked at the queen sitting on the bed, her face a little pale. There seems to be a white bandage on his chest, could it be that he is injured?
"Niangniang, are you hurt?" Concubine Xian was very concerned, and looked at the queen with some eagerness and asked.
"It's no big deal anymore." Cai looked at Concubine Xian with a motherly smile. The tone is obviously a little less neutral than before.
"Your face is so pale, there must have been a lot of blood left, and it must not be an injury." Concubine Xian is really not stupid, she has some common sense.
It seems that Concubine Xian received a lot of training from Lord Xia before entering the palace.
"You're right." Cai Xiaoxiao still had that expression, and said unhurriedly.
"How did the mother get hurt, why did she hurt so badly. Didn't the emperor's guards fail to protect the mother? "Concubine Xian really cares about Cai Yu very much.
Cai Xiao smiled and teased Concubine Xian, "What, it seems that Concubine Xian still wants to go to the emperor to theorize?" ”
"Forget it. The concubine just came back from the emperor, and her knees still hurt. Concubine Xian said that she was really aggrieved in her heart.
"It seems that the emperor is angry."
"yes."
"Would you like to have Fan give you some medicine?"
"No, these are all things, it's natural to be fine in a while, it's not a big deal. By the way, how did you get hurt, mother? ”
"Guess?" Cai Xiaoxiao teased Concubine Xian. The tone was flirtatious, slippery.
"If the concubine had looked at the wound, she might have been able to guess something. It's just that I can't see the wound, and the concubine really can't guess it. Concubine Xian looked at Cai Xiaoxiao's chest intently, wanting to touch it, but she was embarrassed and didn't dare.
"This is a sword wound. A few days ago, the Assassins entered the villa and wanted to assassinate them. Hongu was unlucky, and he happened to pass by, so he stabbed Hongu. Cai Xiaoxiao expected that Concubine Xian would definitely ask why, so Cai Xiaoxiao simply told Concubine Xian directly.
It also saves you from asking and answering me back and forth.
"Assassins? That assassin is so short-sighted, he dares to stab the queen mother. "This queen's kung fu, Concubine Xian knows, the queen is injured, it seems that this person is a master.
"I didn't see it clearly. When the patrolling guards arrived, the Assassins hurried away. The rest of the shrine is not very clear. ”
"No wonder I saw so many guards patrolling the villa just now." Concubine Xian said as she took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve, "Niangniang, this is our Xia family's unique gold sore medicine, the effect is very good, you can try it." ”
"Good. Why did Concubine Xian carry it with her? Cai took the medicine bottle and asked Concubine Xian very curiously.
"Concubines usually like to practice martial arts, and bumps are a common thing, so they take them with them. This was given to me by my father, and when this army went to war, my father asked every soldier to carry a bottle with him. Sometimes this doctor is too busy, and when he is injured, he listens to his father, so they use this medicine by themselves and take it by themselves. It works very well. ”
"I see. By the way, how did Concubine Xian get to Wuzhou? "After a lot of talking, I finally got on the track, and the distance of this run-up is really a bit long.
Fortunately, the runner in this run-up ran long enough, and he was always on the track and did not go off the track.
"Niangniang, the concubine has never been to Wuzhou, I heard them say that Wuzhou is very fun, so I want to go to Wuzhou to have fun?" Concubine Xian was a little embarrassed, and said a little evasively.
"Concubine Xian, you're lying. If you don't tell the truth, how can this palace help you? "Cai Xiaoxiao, this is very secondary.
There is a subject and a predicate, but the object behind it is obviously not.
What can I help you?
Help you intercede with the emperor? Or do you want to help you and Su Wanyue? Or help something else?
It depends on what Concubine Xian wants the queen to help her in her heart?
This virtuous concubine will naturally fill in the missing object part.
"Mother-in-law help me? Why? Concubine Xian was a little curious. This object concubine did not also fill in.
"Why? You need the palace to help you with this, is it harmful to the palace and the emperor? Cai asked a rhetorical question, and then changed the way of questioning.
"It doesn't hurt." Concubine Xian thought for a moment and replied cautiously.
"Is it good?" Since it is harmless, it is natural to think about whether there is any benefit.
"It should be good!" Concubine Xian was a little reluctant to confirm it.
"That being the case. Why didn't Hongu help you? This matter is beneficial to both the palace and the emperor. Why don't you think of a reason for this palace, so that this palace knows that it is beneficial and does not help? Cai Xiaoxiao, this is pressing step by step.
Although the matter of Concubine Xian and Su Wanyue, Cai Xiaoxiao has already guessed seven or eight points.
But speculation is speculation after all, and it is necessary for them to speak out willingly.
That's trust, and that's what comes next.
Concubine Xian thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.
"It's just that the concubine doesn't know if it is good or bad for Niangniang if she knows about it?" Concubine Xian was worried about the queen's departure in this matter.
"Concubine Xian, aren't you contradicting yourself! You just said that it is beneficial to the palace and the emperor, why don't you know it now? ”
"Niangniang, you have confused the concubines. The concubine is not referring to what she just meant. "Concubine Xian is a little anxious, and she doesn't know how to express it.
"Hongu?" Cai Xiao knowingly confirmed.
"Niangniang, when you return to the capital, can the concubine reply again?" After all, this is still Su Wanyue's business, and Su Wanyue still has to agree. Concubine Xian couldn't make this decision for Su Wanyue.
"Yes. There is no hurry. ”
"Concubine, Xie Niangniang."
"It's hard for you to get out of the house, so let's have fun here."
"Xie Niangniang. Niangniang, the concubine still has one more thing to ask for. ”
"Say it."
"The concubine went to Wuzhou with a partner. When she was arrested, she hadn't been told in person, and the concubine wanted to go to Wuzhou to talk to her. ”
"But Su Wanyue?"
"How did the mother know?" Concubine Xian said with some surprise.
"This palace also knows, are you going to investigate Su Wanyue's life experience?" Cai Xiaoxiao is also giving Concubine Xian a reassurance, don't hide it anymore.
Concubine Xian couldn't believe it, looked surprised, and looked at the queen with a confused expression.
"There you go. When you return to the capital, you think carefully and think slowly. Hongu is not in a hurry. "It seems that Cai Yue has already made it clear.
"The queen let the concubine go, won't the emperor blame you?" Hearing the key content, Concubine Xian naturally had to come back to her senses.
"The matter of this harem is naturally the final say of the palace. This palace is the lord of the six palaces, if you commit a crime, this palace will naturally have to carry it for you, and how can you shirk the responsibility. ”
"Mother." Concubine Xian was very grateful to the queen, and she didn't know what to say. Even if this matter is called, it is a thousand words of thanks.
"Go ahead. Stop grinding. When the emperor comes later, the emperor will punish you, and you can only watch the palace. "This is true of the traditional relationship between the queen and the emperor.
However, Cai Xiaoxiao is suitable to admit it in front of the emperor!
The concubine went first. Mother, take care and rest well. Goodbye to the capital. ”
"When you return to the capital from Wuzhou, remember to bring some Wuzhou specialties to the palace."
"It's a sissy." Concubine Xian's one was happy and excited.
When Concubine Xian was arrested and left Wuzhou, she asked the shopkeeper to bring a message to Su Wanyue.
Concubine Xian hurriedly returned to Wuzhou, and after seeing Su Wanyue, she told Su Wanyue about her arrest and the queen's mother.
Su Wanyue felt that she could tell the queen, after all, the emperor had told the queen about the last time Concubine Xian took the emperor out of the palace.
From this point of view, the emperor's trust in the queen is not comparable to ordinary people.
Since you are cooperating with the emperor, you naturally have to tell the emperor everything about everything.
Telling the emperor is equivalent to telling the queen.
During this time in Wuzhou, the two have been acting separately. Now that things are almost the same, the two can finally leave Wuzhou and slowly return to the capital again in the name of husband and wife.
