Text Chapter 233 Night Exploration of Shangshu Mansion
At night, the flames in the house had been extinguished, and the whole mansion looked a little lifeless. In the North Courtyard of this mansion, the lord of the mansion has long since rested, and it is not difficult to hear the deafening snoring sound standing outside the door, which makes the little vigil miserable.
Suddenly, a dark shadow took advantage of the gap between the little girl's napping to open the window of the room, quickly got in, and then gently closed the window, tiptoed to the deafening snoring, and frowned when he saw the earth-shattering sound of the man's snoring. looked at the man's fat head and big ears again, and his eyes were a little displeased. Then he took out a dagger from his waist and put it directly on the neck of the man's layers of fat, and then covered the man's mouth.
"Don't be silent, I won't take your life." The man in black opened his mouth and said, it was still a woman, which was really unbelievable. The pot-bellied man hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then the woman took her hand off the man's mouth, fortunately she was wearing gloves, otherwise she would have died of disgust with her temperament.
Although the woman took her hand off the man's body, the dagger was still on the man's neck, and the man didn't dare to try whether it was his secret guard fast or the woman's knife that was fast even if he wanted to. What's more, this woman can enter her house in the midst of many secret guards, it must not be a good stubble, since she said that she does not take her own life, it must be asking for herself, and listen to what she asks for herself.
"I'm a member of the Three Princes." The woman said in a low voice.
The man's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of calculations, and it took a long time for him to lower his voice and ask tentatively, "Hasn't the Third Highness been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion?" If you want to come out, it's harder than climbing to the sky. ”
Hearing this, the woman's strength in holding the dagger suddenly became heavier, the man was a corrupt official who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled all day long, and the fine skin and tender flesh could withstand the dagger so hard to strangle him? Blood oozed from the man's neck in an instant, the man was in pain, and his fat face and facial features were wrinkled together due to the pain.
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, as long as you are obedient, the three highnesses will definitely come out, as long as the three highnesses come out, it is not clear who will belong to the country in the future!" The woman sneered and said coldly.
The dagger was on his neck, and no one could say that he was not afraid, let alone this corrupt official who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and hurriedly piled up a flattering smile and said, "Then you can tell me, what should I do?" It's a pity that the night was too dark, and the woman couldn't see the flattering smile on his face.
"What you're going to do is a good thing for you." The woman turned over and jumped onto the man's bed, stomped on the man's hand under the pillow with her foot, and then said with a charming smile: "Don't you want this dog's life?" ”
"If you want it, the girl spares her life! Girl, what do you say? When the man saw this woman's good eyes, he knew in his heart that he was definitely not her opponent, and if he made any more small moves, he was afraid that his life would be really difficult to protect.
"In a few days, it will be the day for His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor to choose a concubine, I hope you will have a good relationship and marry your concubine, you must marry it, if I don't hear that day that Xiao Ming will become the concubine of the Ninth Emperor, your life will not be saved." The woman said in a vicious tone, then opened the man's mouth, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then patted him on the chest, the man didn't want to swallow the medicine, he had to swallow it.
"You ......" The man pointed to the woman in front of him, although he was angry and wanted to pick the skin of the woman in front of him, but his little life was in her hands, he didn't dare to do anything, he didn't dare to say a word, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and said kindly: "The Nine Emperor Princes have never been close to women, and they like Miss Yun Jiayan, and they must marry her this time!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to make Xiao Ming the concubine of His Royal Highness the Nine, hasn't she always liked His Highness the Ninth very much? In this way, it was also her wish. The woman smiled coquettishly, said in a low voice, and then paused and said: "That day, His Royal Highness the Ninth may not necessarily marry the main concubine, that is, the side concubine, you have to let Xiao Ming enter the palace of the Ninth Highness!" ”
"Side concubine? How can I be the daughter of the scholar of the second-grade rite department, how can I be a side concubine?! When the man heard this, his voice suddenly became a little louder, and he almost woke up the little man who was keeping vigil.
The woman squinted her eyes slightly, put away the dagger, and pinched the man's neck with her bare hands, the woman looked thin and weak, but she was a person with great strength, and her face was red when she pinched the Ministry of Rites, and she couldn't say a word, it seemed that she was just a breath away, and the Ministry of Rites would die in Huangquan, so the woman withdrew her hand and said coldly: "What about the Ministry of Rites?" Who doesn't know that you are a Shangshu who has been set up by a waiter? It's notoriously famous, and you still talk to me about the Ministry of Rites? If it weren't for the Third Highness to lift you up, you would have packed up your things and gone back to your hometown! ”
When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, his face sank, and he rubbed his neck and coughed in a low voice for a while before saying, "Then if the little girl performs well in the future, will you prevent her from becoming a concubine?" ”
"If she has this ability, why should I hinder her? It's not that I want her to be a side concubine? It's that the person in His Royal Highness the Ninth is very dead-eyed, and he thinks that the Yun family's young lady will not let it go, and now it is even more difficult to give her a side concubine. If you want to keep all the power of the Ministry of Rites in your own hands, and want your Royal Highness, who has been following you, to return to the court, listen to me. Otherwise, the poison would not have agreed. The woman said in a condensed tone, staring at the Ministry of Rites' eyes full of murderous intent.
Xu is killing intent was felt by the Ministry of Rites, his forehead was slightly sweaty, he licked his chapped lips a little nervously, swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Then if I listen to you, will you give me the antidote?" ”
"Yes, but it's not an antidote, it's just a toxin in your body. You have to remember that this is a good deal, and if you are honest, the poison in your body will not attack. When the time comes, your daughter will be the Nine Emperor Princesses, and you will take back the real power in your hands, wouldn't you be beautiful? The woman whispered in the ear of the Ministry of Rites, with a bit of charm in her voice, and the heart of the Rite Department was itchy.
"Then if the Third Highness takes over the imperial power in the future, then my daughter is the concubine of the Ninth Highness, how can he let her go?" Is it easy to fool the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who has been crawling in the officialdom for many years?
"Then it depends on whether she is obedient or not, if she is obedient and helps the Third Highness to do something, the Third Highness will naturally remember her credit, and if she takes over the throne in the future, she will not lose her." The woman seemed to be a little impatient, and said with a little anxiety in her tone.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the woman in front of him complicatedly, sighed heavily, and said, "Okay." ”
The corners of the woman's lips lifted, patted the shoulder of the Ministry of Rites, turned around and walked quickly to the window, opened the window and disappeared into the night. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the woman's distant back, and rubbed the right hand that had been stepped on by her just now, probably hurting the bone, and grinning with pain when he touched it slightly, and he was even more annoyed in his heart.
But when she thought that the woman said that she could take back the real power in her hands, the anger in her heart was half gone, and her eyes flashed with calculation.
After the woman left the house of the Ministry of Rites, she circled into a remote mansion, although the mansion was remote, but the architecture was exquisitely like a palace. Even when he was asleep in the middle of the night, the mansion was still holding a bright lamp, and from a distance, it was really brightly lit. In the mansion next to a lake, a pavilion was built, and the pavilion was surrounded by thin veil, and if the wind blew, the people in the pavilion loomed, and the beauty was like a fairy.
There is a woman in blue lying on the side of the pavilion, her appearance is exquisite, although she is not as captivating as Yun Heng and Feng'er, but looking at ordinary people, she is also a peerless beauty. The woman looked at her face kindly, but in fact, her face was condensed, and people didn't dare to approach it easily, just looking at it from a distance, she knew that she was a powerful character.
When the woman entered the pavilion, she took off her veil, and it was a young woman with a beautiful face, and she waved her hand at the woman in the pavilion and humbly called, "Eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess answered lazily, and then there was no follow-up. Only then did the woman in black continue: "The matter is done, and the rest will depend on the eldest princess tomorrow." ”
The eldest princess raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fell on the woman in black, and then chuckled, the laughter was mixed with full sarcasm, and then said word by word: "After so many years, it is time to pay for the blood debt." The eldest princess's tone was full of hatred, as if she had endured it for many years, just waiting for today.
Seeing this, the woman in black saw that her eyes dimmed slightly, and she pondered for a long time before she said: "But the Third Highness is not a good choice, and the eldest princess really wants to support him?" ”
"It's not the same who to support? Anyway, if you retire successfully, this palace is going to die, too many people have taught this palace to know how to be selfish, since this palace is a dying person, what does the world do to me? The eldest princess sneered, then picked up the wine glass in her hand, and drank all the wine in the glass, adding a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.
The woman in black still wanted to say something, but the maid beside the eldest princess gave her a look and motioned for her to go down first. As soon as the woman in black left, the maid beside the eldest princess stepped forward to stop the eldest princess who was about to pour wine into the wine glass, and the maid snatched the wine glass from the eldest princess's hand, and said softly: "Your Highness has already drunk a pot of wine tonight, don't be greedy." ”
The eldest princess sneered, her eyes were distressing and lonely, and she sighed: "It's been twelve years, this palace has endured it for twelve years, and finally endured it until she grew up and changed into what this palace wants." But Yueyin ......" The eldest princess suddenly grabbed Yueyin's hand, her eyes glistening with tears, "If Sister Qian knows, this palace ...... Hongu has planned so many things single-handedly, will she hate Hongu? ”
Yue Yin held the eldest princess's hand with her backhand, patted it gently, and said softly: "The eldest princess doesn't have to think so much, if she knew, she would do the same as the eldest princess, but His Royal Highness ...... him."
"This palace is not a god, let alone the emperor, this palace has no power and no power in his hands, if it weren't for the emperor's brother remembering the old love back then, now this palace can't be greedy for this Gui Palace, so this palace can't protect so many people, if Xiao Jiu is really a good person, this palace will pull him before he dies." The eldest princess said, lowered her head, and the hand holding Yueyin was also trembling slightly, Yueyin saw this, a touch of distress crossed her eyes, and then hugged the eldest princess.
"Eldest princess, listen to the advice of the slave maid, don't be annihilated by hatred. You have been willful and unmarried for life, and the emperor has fulfilled you, and the slave only hopes that the eldest princess can be happy. Yue Yin said and sighed softly.
"He completes the main palace?" The eldest princess pushed Yue Yin away, and then smiled sarcastically, and said with a thick hatred in her tone: "What's the use of him fulfilling this palace?" He's nothing but a piece of rubbish! If he is really capable, why didn't he kill the Song family! Why did you let that old immortal be the Queen Mother of the West! Let that vixen become the queen! How did that vixen become the queen of the throne, he didn't know! But he pretended not to know! Cowardly, he can't even protect the woman he loves the most! The eldest princess scolded sharply, and before she knew it, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't even see the moon chant in front of her clearly.
"And the mother concubine of this palace...... The palace is also a waste, and even his own mother can't protect it well...... knew that it was the old immortal Empress Dowager Xi who killed her, but Bengong could only pretend not to know...... Yes, what kind of face does this palace have to reprimand the imperial brother? This palace is as cowardly as him......" The eldest princess hugged herself and sobbed lowly, and Yueyin on the side looked at such an eldest princess, and felt very distressed, but she couldn't do anything.
