Chapter 212 The deep palace is lonely
The people in the palace searched all over the palace, but they didn't see Wu Tian. Even Shanggong Shan was shocked, looking at these little palace maids and eunuchs, with panicked expressions on their faces, and small words, she couldn't help frowning.
"What's the matter?" Shan was the bridal maid before Leng Qingchen entered the palace, and he followed her for the longest time and the most loyal.
In this Chaolu Palace, in addition to the cold light marks, her words are also very useful. A little palace maid timidly stepped forward and saluted, and said softly, "Lord Shanggong, the Queen Mother asked me to wait to find Wu Tian, but I don't know where he went, is he out of the palace?" ”
"It's still early at this hour, how can you leave the palace? Look for it again, a little thing will be noisy, and it will startle the Queen Mother, you don't want your little life. Shan has always been harsh, but in fact, she is just hard-mouthed, and she is very sympathetic to the palace people in private. That's why everyone obeyed her, and they would go to her if they had any difficulties, but they would just admonish her one after another, and then watch her raise their eyebrows to help.
"It's coming. Look no further. Wu Tian suddenly came out of nowhere, and his deep voice made people feel very cold.
Although he was dressed in the service of a eunuch, he stood taller than any eunuch in this purple gold city, and he never bowed his head except in front of Leng Qingjian. If he hadn't known that he had been executed, he would have had the illusion that the guards were wearing the wrong clothes.
Shan looked at him and whispered, "Come in." There was a hint of urging and a hint of complaining in his tone. It is impossible for him not to know that he only needs to serve the cold light mark every morning, but he still stays outside for so long, is it deliberate?
Wu Tian crossed the crowd and passed by Shan, without even looking at her. He walked into the queen mother's dormitory from the courtyard and brought the door. It was as if it had completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Someone whispered, "What is his spirit, but he is just an internal servant, as if he thinks he is the master!" It is true that others have this feeling, but they dare not say it explicitly. There are not many people who have seen Wu Tian's true face before, and after he was punished by Mu Churan, he was accepted into the Chaolu Hall by Leng Qingchen.
Therefore, most of the palace people are just a new eunuch of the Queen Mother, with a handsome face, and they follow the Queen Mother every day, thinking that they have ascended to the sky. Hardly talking to other palace people, he lives alone, but most of the time he is in the queen mother's palace.
Only the Shan family knows the ins and outs of this, but they have been watching coldly.
After Wu Tian came in, the Queen Mother had already cleaned her face, and she was not yet dressed, she was sitting in front of the dresser in a pair of pajamas, and she was fascinated by the figure in the bronze mirror.
"Master." He walked behind her, silently walking, still keeping the habit of the previous dark guard, hiding himself in the shadows. Leng Qingji raised his hand lightly and hung in the air. Wu Tian's eyebrows moved slightly, but he quickly covered up the past, and hurriedly reached out to support her arm, bowing his head respectfully, not daring to look directly.
Leng Qingchen pressed into his palm, got up, turned around, and walked in the direction of the hanger. He hastened to his side, following him right behind.
"Do you say I look like an old woman over forty?" Leng Qingjian's voice seemed to be a little tired. Wu Tian replied, "Not really." She turned and leaned in front of him, forcing him to lean straight and look down slightly into her eyes.
"But the person in the mirror, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are clearly reminding me that I am old. You're old. Her expression was not sad or joyful, but with a bit of persistence, and between words, she reached out and stroked his cheek, "Do you think the same way in your heart?" ”
Wu Tian shook his head slightly, "No." In my eyes, the owner is always young and beautiful. His calm tone, without the slightest fluctuation, made Leng Qingchen not very satisfied, her other hand slid to his waist, reached under the robe, and felt into his pants to probe, empty.
Leng Qingjian looked at her with a pair of beautiful eyes and said angrily, "Why didn't you bring it?" ”
Wu Tian was stunned and explained in a low voice, "I took it off in the morning and forgot to put it back." ”
"Go and bring it to me now! Remember, you are not to take it off without my command. "Leng Qingchen would be so angry, just a fake one made for a stalk of sandalwood. Since Wu Tian was sent by Mu Churan to be tortured in the palace, after he was picked up by Leng Qingchen, he was asked to bring this thing.
For him, the palace punishment was not the greatest humiliation.
Carrying fake things and continuing to serve this woman night and night is the place where he can't be calm.
Leng Qingzhen has always paid attention to maintenance, even if he is over 40 years old, the skin on his body is as white and flawless as a 20-year-old girl. Although she has conceived a son and a daughter, she has never breastfed herself, so she is tight where it should be tight, slippery where it should be slippery, concave and convex, and graceful.
Leng Qingxing is really good to him. If he is still a normal man, it is nothing, but it is beautiful. It's a pity that he is no longer a complete man. It's like holding a fan to fan the wind for the master, I am tired and sweaty, but I can't enjoy a trace of coolness. But in front of her body, she has to suffer from desire, like a person who has been hungry for a long time, facing delicious food, even if he eats it, he immediately falls out of the hole in his chin, and he can't eat anything.
But he couldn't refuse, it was the fear of the Queen Mother's power, or the morbid infatuation with Leng Qingzhen himself. He couldn't say it himself.
In this kind of sleeping days, whenever he couldn't bear it anymore and had nowhere to vent, he would secretly find some inconspicuous palace people to torture. Seeing the other party's painful expression, it seemed that he could restore some peace in his heart. If you are unlucky, you must pull the people around you into this mire of misfortune. He who weeps cannot hear laughter. The jealousy of the human heart is a demonic obstacle, a poison, and there is no cure.
After Leng Qingchen dressed up neatly, he didn't notice the emotions in Wu Tian's eyes, and he served him for breakfast. Listening to his report on Xiao He's current situation, he was just a little dissatisfied that she had not been convicted.
"On the side of the Criminal Department, I must be able to look at the emperor's face and act, although the emperor was really angry this time, but we pushed Xiao He out, the thunder is loud, and the rain is small. Why don't you do something more? Leng Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.
Outside the Taihe Palace, Mu Qingwan and the maid Abi stood for half an hour.
Abi whispered to Mu Qingwan quite nervously, "Princess, why don't we go back first, this will also wait until the emperor is not busy, and then come over to see people, right?" Mu Qingwan looked at the door of the Zhu Qi Palace with resolute eyes, and replied, "I have been waiting for two days, but you still told me to continue to wait, if I don't ask to see the imperial brother again, I am afraid that he will ......."
She paused, not wanting to speak, for fear that if she said a word, she would become a proverb.
"Didn't Gonggong Liu also say just now, I'm afraid that this discussion will not end without three or two hours. It's not an option for you to stand here and wait. Why don't we ...... first," Abi continued to persuade carefully.
Mu Qingwan interrupted it a little impatiently, "You have to go back to yourself." If I hadn't seen the emperor, I wouldn't have left. ”
At this time, three palace maids came from afar, led by the Shanggong Shan clan of Chaolu Palace.
Mu Qingwan's brows frowned slightly, and she wondered why they came.
The Shan family took the two little palace maids to salute Mu Qingwan's rules and regulations before saying, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Queen Mother has sent a slave to invite you over." When Mu Qingwan heard this, he glanced sideways at Abi. Abi immediately understood her master's thoughts, and Ying Ying was blessed, "The thing that Princess Fang Cai said, the slave maid will go back to the palace to get it for you." ”
Seeing that Abi turned around and was about to leave, the two palace maids behind the Shan family immediately stepped forward, grabbed her half-hugged and half-framed on the left and right, and smiled softly, "Sister Abi doesn't need to go, just wait with me." ”
Mu Qingwan's heart was not good, she originally intended to surrender to the imperial brother in order to protect Xiao He, but who knew that the queen mother expected her thoughts, and as soon as she heard that she was waiting to face the saint in front of the Taihe Palace, she immediately asked people to take her away.
Although this Shan is only a female official, she is extremely difficult to speak, and she is the queen mother's henchman. Mu Qingwan knew that she wouldn't be able to leave if she didn't leave, and her heart was extremely entangled. Just when she was frowning and didn't know how to deliver the news at the moment, she saw Shen Suhang walking towards this corridor.
"Lord Shen!" Mu Qingwan had never been so happy to see Shen Suhang, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and wave at him excitedly.
As soon as Shen Suhang looked up, he saw several palace maids around Mu Qingjuan, he changed his direction and walked over. As soon as the Shan clan saw Shen Suhang coming, it was not easy to take Mu Qingwan away directly, so they could only salute him first and wait for the opportunity to act on the side.
Mu Qingwan almost didn't lift her skirt and trotted a few steps to him, and now Shen Suhang has actually become the savior in her eyes.
"Xia Guan has seen Princess Changle." Shen Suhang said loudly to her.
"Excuse me." Mu Qingwan couldn't suppress her joy, and lowered her voice, "Lord Shen, are you going to see the imperial brother?" ”
"Exactly, the lower official came to the palace by edict." Shen Suhang saw that Mu Qingxuan's expression was a little different, but he didn't know why she was happy, "Is there something wrong with the princess looking for an official?" ”
"You ......" Mu Qingwan was about to tell him in detail, when he heard Shan Shi reminding him in a cold voice behind him, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't ask the Queen Mother to wait for a long time." Let's hurry up. Shan deliberately said this, that is, to tell the princess that Shen Suhang couldn't save her, so let her go with her obediently.
Mu Qingwan glanced back at the Shan family, "I have something important to say to Lord Shen, the queen mother will explain herself, and it is not your turn to teach a lesson." She usually has a little respect for the Shan family, and she has never said anything serious. This time, he suddenly raised his voice, and this tone was a bit of princess majesty. Shan was silent for a while, and then stopped talking.
