Volume 2 Heavenly Steps Xi Fuyi Chapter 22 Autumn Rain Asks for Guilt (I)
This autumn rain was very intense, after Wang Cheng left, Nie Yuansheng slept for half an hour, but he was woken up by the sound of the rain hitting the eaves, he woke up in the tent, and he could also feel the abundant water vapor outside the house.
But at the back of the house, a small pond, there is no hibiscus in it, there is a piece of white on the edge of the pond, but it has turned yellow at this time, Xu is because this Qingchi Xuan has not arranged for people to live, but no one has cleaned up, at this time there are a lot of fallen leaves on the pond, think about most of them were beaten down by the torrential rain.
Nie Yuansheng watched quietly for a moment, and a gentle cough came from behind him!
He was surprised, but he was not surprised, he turned around slowly, and was about to bow his hand, but his face turned to surprise the moment he turned around-only because of this, Shi Shiran was standing behind him, but it was not Ji Shen, but Mu Biwei!
"How did you get here?" Nie Yuansheng put down his hand that was originally going to salute, quickly looked around, and asked in a deep voice.
Mu Biwei saw that she slipped in quietly, she changed out of Xuanhui's various gorgeous clothes, and only wore an inconspicuous blue narrow-sleeved collared shirt, tied with a sandalwood skirt underneath, and her long hair was pulled into the shape of a bun often combed by the palace maids in the palace, without applying fat powder, the hairpin ring faded, and listened to his question, but she smiled proudly: "Don't worry, Right Zhaoyi sent someone to invite His Majesty to the New Year's Palace, I took Xiping to see the chrysanthemums today, I didn't want to meet her in the imperial garden with Princess Xintai, and I ridiculed her a few words, I think this is knowing that I took Xiping to see His Majesty and was pushed by His Majesty, but His Majesty saved me a little face, and I should go to Changjin Palace one night, so I couldn't wait to snatch people over. ”
Nie Yuansheng saw that although her words were careless, the water droplets on the crow's wings were crystal clear, and the sleeves and skirts were stained with a lot of water traces, knowing that she was no longer living in the Wind Lotus Courtyard that day, although Changjin Palace was not too far from Jique Palace, but it was the separation between the two palaces, even if it slipped from the corner gate, it was not easy in the end, not to mention that the rain was still so heavy, he didn't feel warm in his heart, he reached out and raised his sleeve to wipe the water droplets on her sideburns, and couldn't help but scold: "I mean such a heavy rain, why do you want to run this trip?" If you have something, just ask someone to tell Zhuo Heng and Wang Chenglai to tell me. ”
He added, "Your Majesty summoned them today to order them to be my idea, rest assured, it is not a bad thing." ”
"You mediate in the court, but I don't worry too much about Daddy." Mu Biwei let him wipe it for herself, but squinted her eyes and said, "I'm here to ask you for guilt!" ”
Nie Yuansheng snorted, and said with a look of surprise: "What do you ask?" ”
"The poison in the gold and ink of Naruijin...... It's yours to order. Mu Biwei stared at him closely, and he was a little hesitant in the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence was extremely affirmative.
"You say this?" Nie Yuansheng listened, but he wasn't surprised, he just smiled and said, "Okay, I didn't tell you in advance, because I thought that from the beginning to the end of this matter, you wouldn't be able to get involved, and I didn't want to run into it." ”
He said, "Didn't tell you in advance that it was my fault, were you scared?" I know the poison in my own heart, and I don't care, but it's just scary to watch. ”
Seeing that Mu Biwei still pursed his lips and looked at himself, he thought about it and said, "This is also something that can't be helped, now it's not as good as two years ago, at that time, His Majesty refused to be pro-government because the crown did not arrive, you know that Your Majesty does not like political affairs, and the previous companions such as Qu Shuqing were driven out of the palace by His Majesty personally because he persuaded His Majesty to attach importance to the government and politics...... Your Majesty is not pro-government, I will be trusted again, no matter how high my official position is, I will not be able to get real power in the end, so it is easy to survive until now, and I really can't rest assured that I will not send Fang Xianren away. ”
Ji Shen changed the place for reviewing the chapters from the imperial study to the side hall near the Dongnuan Pavilion, in order to avoid the foreign ministers from detecting the truth that he asked Nie Yuansheng to ghostwrite, but the partial hall of the Xuanshu Hall can certainly prevent the foreign ministers from breaking through this matter, for Fang Xianren, who has been serving in the Jique Palace for several years and is also deeply rooted in the Inner Division, it may not be impossible to find out after a long time.
If Fang Xianren knew about this, how could he not tell the Empress Dowager Gao?
At that time, no matter how much Ji Shen trusted Nie Yuansheng, Empress Dowager Gao would have to kill him!
Even if she is worried about resentment with Ji Shen, but the Empress Dowager Gao was born in the Gao family, if she makes up her mind and has enough reasons to want Nie Yuan to live and die, the Gao family is mostly dead to sell their lives, with the grace of the Nie family, a Linyi county duke, where can she protect Nie Yuansheng?
It's Ji Shen himself, his foundation is shallow, and the Gao family does things more strictly, I'm afraid that even he won't know how Nie Yuansheng died at that time!
In order to be able to continue to ghostwrite for Ji Shen and thus grasp the government step by step, Nie Yuansheng must cover up the news before he can afford to expose this matter, in this case, he must ensure the reliability of the Xuanshu Palace, or the middle and upper echelons of the Jique Palace, and Fang Xianren must leave Jique!
The problem is that Ji Shen has already driven away the three female officials sent by the Queen Mother, although Fang Xianren is not liked by Ji Shen, but she knows how to stay in the Jique Palace, as a foreign minister, although Nie Yuansheng is extremely trusted by Ji Shen, even if he sometimes interferes in the affairs of the palace, Ji Shen does not doubt it, but this is precisely because Nie Yuansheng has a very good grasp of the degree and never crosses the line.
For the sake of a Fang Xianren, Nie Yuansheng didn't think that this matter was worth wasting an opportunity to interfere in the palace, not to mention that after the death of Mo Zuosi and Xiao Qingyi, the Queen Mother's henchmen who had been cultivated for many years went to two at once, especially the death of Mo Zuosi, which was a great blow to the Empress Dowager Gao, so the Empress Dowager Gao relied on the remaining Song Qingyi and Fang Xianren very much.
Fang Xianren has become more and more low-key in the past two years in Jique Palace, and he no longer advises Ji Shen, even Ji Shen's face is not so ugly when he sees her reporting now, if he speaks at this time, it is difficult to say whether the Empress Dowager Gao will notice something, or do something.
What's more, Fang Xianren was naturally named in the Inner Division because of his appointment as a female official of Jique, and his mastery of the Internal Division was the most rigorous one after Mo Zuosi, after all, she had maintained a delicate balance with Ruan Wenyi and Feng Jian for many years, if Fang Xianren was forced to death, then Lei Mo could also get the opportunity to truly master the Internal Division, such as Gu Changfu and other internal servants who were close to Nie Yuansheng, and they could also take the opportunity to grasp the real power, which were very important to Nie Yuansheng.
Nie Yuansheng also thought about it, and came up with this bitter trick, whether it is the imperial study or the side hall, it is not easy for others to enter and exit, but it is not difficult for him, not to mention that there is anything easier in this world than putting poison on himself?
This is also the real reason why after he just woke up, he heard that Ji Shen was furious and wanted to investigate the matter strictly, and immediately forcibly blocked it...... After all, there has always been a system for the entry and exit of the imperial study and the side hall, and after checking and checking, it is inevitable that Nie Yuansheng, Lei Mo and Zhuo Heng, especially the servants in the side hall, have always been done by Lei Mo and Zhuo Heng themselves, and occasionally there are palace people who are stared at by them to clean up.
If it is strictly investigated, Nie Yuansheng may not be found, the problem is that Lei Mo and Zhuo Heng will definitely be unlucky, even if they can't find anything, they, as the chief eunuch of the internal division and the servant of the Xuan Room, will also bear the responsibility of not protecting the master.
Empress Dowager Gao didn't mind taking the opportunity to fall into the well and force these two people to death in exchange for Ruan Wenyi or other chamberlains.
Nie Yuansheng worked hard to get Lei Mo back to Yedu, how could he just call him killed?
Seeing that Mu Biwei's face was still gloomy, Nie Yuansheng softened his tone and explained carefully: "This matter is indeed dangerous, but as soon as it comes to Your Majesty. You and I all know that because the Empress Dowager Gao favored the King of Guangling, when Emperor Gaozu died, His Majesty was depressed, and when he returned to the Queen Mother, he was in need of the Queen Mother's mercy and comfort, but he saw that the Queen Mother was afraid that the Queen Mother would snub the King of Guangling because of His Majesty's return. Second, although Your Majesty does not like political affairs, but also worries about the throne, I led this matter to King Anping and King Guangling, Your Majesty has no children under his knees, how can I not doubt it? Third, if you don't take advantage of the fact that you send people away now, you will become a burden sooner or later in the future......"
He explained in detail, only when Mu Biwei was not angry, but saw that Mu Biwei was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "I came in the rain, but what I wanted to hear was not these. ”
Nie Yuansheng's mind was in a hurry, and before he could think clearly about the meaning of her words, he heard Mu Biwei say word by word: "Do you know that I just arrived in front of Dongnuan Pavilion that night, and I heard that you were poisoned and unconscious, if it wasn't for the sudden turn of the night to turn around, everyone on the scene would be able to see the expression on my face clearly?!" ”
"Do you know how anxious I was when His Majesty arrived and summoned Rong Hu for treatment? At that time, although His Majesty was worried about you and didn't notice me, the Shen family looked at me frequently several times, so as not to let her find out......"
Mu Bi sneered and pulled up his sleeves, Nie Yuansheng subconsciously looked over, and his eyes suddenly froze - it was evening at this moment, but because of the autumn rain pressing down on the city, the room was already dark, but the window was open and there was thunder and lightning fire passing by, Mu Biwei's skin was better than snow, and with a sweep of purple electricity, I saw that on her snow wrist, five deep marks were pinched out raw, the blood was like it, and the wound was faintly purple and black, which showed the degree of force at that time!
Nie Yuansheng closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to brush it, and said in a low voice: "It's me who can't stop you!" ”
"You're sorry for me!" Mu Bi pushed his hand away slightly, put down his sleeves, and said coldly, "It's not that I don't live here...... But that night, when I asked Ah Shan to lure Zhuo Heng away and jumped out of the window into the hall, you didn't tell me to leave immediately! ”
Nie Yuansheng opened his mouth to say something, but was forced by her cold and sharp gaze, and couldn't speak, only listened to her low and cold words: "I jumped out of the window that day, your reaction was very wrong, how sharp your eyes were at that time!" Later, I saw that you were reviewing the music for His Majesty, and I only thought that it was for this matter that I had an instinctive hostility towards the person who suddenly broke in!
"But when you woke up and had a secret conversation with Your Majesty alone, I was sent out to find Xiao Gong's chat, but I suddenly remembered, you have always done things without leakage, and it is rare to be deficient, not to mention such a major event as approving the chapter?!"
Mu Biwei raised her hand and grabbed his arm, she grabbed it very hard, although Nie Yuansheng was not from a family, but his grandfather Nie Jiezhi was born with a good demeanor, and he was even more attentive to the teaching of his children and grandchildren, he was born in the palace to read with him, and he was taught the habit of abiding by etiquette in the palace, even if there was no one in the room, he took a few steps to open the window to ventilate, and put on the outer robe, but at this moment, he could feel the sharpness of her nails through the thick satin jacket, which showed that Mu Biwei had used almost all his strength.
She stood on tiptoe slightly, the whole person almost threw herself into Nie Yuansheng's arms, and stood very steady, the distance between the two was almost regarded as nothing, Mu Bi raised her face slightly, just enough to reach Nie Yuansheng's ears, her lips opened and closed, and her voice was cold and crisp, like ice jade striking each other, "I didn't know that you were in the palace before, so I asked Zhuo Heng a few words in the corridor outside the hall, it stands to reason that later the Shen family rushed to the Dongnuan Pavilion to make trouble with Xiao Gong's family, so far away, you can hear the strange sound to signal me not to make a sound, not to mention what I asked Zhuo Heng?" ”
When Nie Yuansheng heard this, his eyes darkened, and he sighed: "Yes, after you asked Zhuo Heng outside, I knew that you came." ”
"But you didn't guess that I would come into the temple to see you." Mu Biwei grabbed the hand of his arm, suddenly let go, and the whole person fell into his arms as if he had completely lost his strength, Nie Yuansheng grabbed her tightly with his backhand, leaned his head on her shoulder and said softly: "It's a big matter, although I have repeatedly deliberated and agreed with Lei Mo and them on how to act, but in my heart, under the restlessness, Zhuo Heng and you spoke after lowering their voices, but I didn't hear clearly, I only heard him lead you to the distance, when you are going to Dongnuan Pavilion to find Your Majesty......"
Mu Biwei leaned her head on his chest, but smiled lightly, and saw her eyes cold in the dark: "So you think I won't look for you, when I enter the palace...... Are you just going to take the poison? ”
Nie Yuansheng was silent, but Mu Biwei said slowly: "Therefore, when you perceive someone entering, you will instinctively cast that glance - because you know that you will break into the palace so suddenly, and those who have not yet left the door will never be the Queen Mother or foreign ministers, there are only two people, one is Your Majesty, and the other is me...... Whoever you are, you don't want to be found out about your poisoning, right? ”
"It's just that I was shocked by what you did when you sat in front of the imperial case, and I didn't notice whether you had any private actions on the side, not to mention the mountains of music on the imperial case at that time, and they were high above the Danqi, where can I see clearly when I stand on His Highness?" She sighed faintly, "I don't blame you for your risky moves, and I don't blame you for hiding it from me, but I just want to ask you one thing - you had already taken the poison at that time, and you also prepared the blue and white beauty to put on the side of the couch to alarm Zhuo Heng, but why didn't you send me away immediately?" If I hadn't gone in at that time, I'm afraid that you would have broken that blue and white beauty gourd a long time ago, and Rong Huan would have arrived one step earlier, you might not have been poisoned so deeply, right? ”
Nie Yuansheng couldn't be silent anymore, reached out to stroke her sideburns, straightened up, but slowly shook his head and said: "If you don't let the toxicity attack to a certain extent, how can you make Your Majesty frightened when you see it, so as to be even more suspicious of Empress Dowager Gao, so as to exclude all Empress Dowager Gao's manpower and take down the inner division?" ”
"Lie!" Mu Biwei also raised his head, looked directly at his face in front of his eyelashes, and said lightly, "Your Majesty was so angry with Lei Mo that he almost wanted to kill him directly, if it weren't for Lei Mo's cleverness, I was there again, and I accidentally mentioned the interruption of the imperial study, he would have died a long time ago!" What's more, you only need to wake up a few moments later, and Your Majesty will make a thorough investigation into this matter, and it is impossible to make a big deal if you want to do it, and it is forbidden to assassinate Your Majesty, even if it does not succeed, what a big deal is this? Once it's passed out, can it be investigated? ”
When Mu Biwei said this, she sneered, "I'm not such a simple-minded and innocent woman, if you want to lie to me, think more about the cause and effect!" Almost, just a little! Lei Mo is going to die, and Zhuo Heng will not end well! These people are all you have worked hard for many years to be placed by Your Majesty's side! I don't believe you'll joke with their lives and deaths! If you hadn't been poisoned too badly, how could there have been such a fatal error if you had overestimated in advance! ”
Mu Biwei was delicate, and he was concerned about Nie Yuansheng's safety, when Nie Yuansheng was unconscious that night, although he was in a state of confusion, he still relied on holding his arm to maintain a normal demeanor, and barely saved Lei Mo's life, and waited until Nie Yuansheng was awake and Rong Huan was diagnosed without worry, only then he was greatly relieved, and then Nie Yuansheng proposed to talk to Ji Shen secretly, Mu Biwei was worried in the end, and was reluctant to leave the Xuanshu Palace, so he excused himself to find Xiao Gong's absent-mindedly for a long time, this is also Xiao Gong's young age, and he has no scheming, I didn't see Mu Biwei's perfunctory at all.
But Mu Biwei gradually sorted out the truth of the matter by pulling and pulling things around with her!
Otherwise, how would she leave the Xuanmur Temple?
……………………………………………………………………………………
Look, it's rivalry again!
I'll definitely be able to write about the interaction between the male and female protagonists!
Wood is wrong!
Before, the Shenma Shen family came over, the Xiao Gong family, the imperial garden, and the Sun family...... It's all for the sake of wood here?!
For this rival show, how much soy sauce has been dragged out!
So it was definitely not a show-stealing before!
It's all foreshadowing, yes, that's it, it's foreshadowing!
Well, believe me, I definitely didn't write and forgot about the hero, and then suddenly I thought of him again......
There is such a thing as wood!
