Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Embarrassing Task
The Queen Mother suddenly turned her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Tangerine Sheng for a while.
"A Loyal Servant......"
"Niangniang, do you want to dispose of her?" Mama Qin thought that the Queen Mother was unhappy when she saw Tangerine Sheng, so she hurriedly asked.
"No, you don't."
The Queen Mother laughed sarcastically, "The mourning family just saw her loyal protector and thought of an old man!" ”
However, that old man should have become a lonely ghost on the mass grave a long time ago, confused and don't know where he died.
"Alright, let's go back to the palace." The Queen Mother rubbed her somewhat sore eyebrows, waved her hand and commanded.
"Yes!"
After a while, in the courtyard of the Changcang Palace, only Concubine Shen and Tang Sheng were left.
"Princess...... They're gone. Tangerine Sheng covered his painful left side of his face, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Concubine Shen who was lying on the ground in distress.
The originally slender and boneless Rou Wattle was trampled on by the Queen Mother's shoes, and it was red and swollen like a pig's trotters at the moment.
Tangerine Sheng helped Concubine Shen up, but found that her eyes were stunned, as if she had no soul, her heart was instantly lifted, and she shouted anxiously:
"Concubine, concubine!"
The concubine won't be scared away!
"Nothing ......"
Concubine Shen came back to her senses and said with a sad smile, "Bengong, I'm just thinking about something." ”
In her life, what hope does she have, her husband who loves her died early, her own son was forced not to recognize each other, and her good life was confined in this small palace, with no freedom at all.
"Tachibana Sheng, you say, what's the point of this palace living in the world now?"
"Concubine Niang, you must not think like that!"
Yu Qing hid in the room, and waited until the Queen Mother's people were gone before she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go out when she heard Concubine Shen's wrong words.
Hurriedly opened the door and said, "Concubine Niangniang, even if you can't recognize Your Majesty now, but the blood of mother and son is thicker than water, if Your Majesty knows that his biological mother is alive so close to him one day, but he can't rescue her in time, he will definitely have remorse." ”
Concubine Shen's words just now were obviously a dead intention.
In the way of modern people, Concubine Shen has a very serious depression, and if she doesn't handle it well, suicide is just around the corner.
Yu Qing sighed in her heart, the best way now is to let Concubine Shen still have a glimmer of hope in her heart. Let her have the idea of living, and that glimmer of hope is in the emperor's body.
She thought about it for a moment and approached Concubine Shen's side.
leaned over and whispered: "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor has been in power for many years, and every move in the harem is under his nose. Even though the Queen Mother has a monstrous ability to conceal it, but the movement of her coming over today is so big, Your Majesty will definitely notice it. ”
When Concubine Shen heard this, her originally dull eyes instantly lit up, and she looked at Yu Qing with hope and listened to her continue.
Such a beauty, looking at herself with this kind of eyes, Yu Qing said that the pressure was a little too much.
She swallowed her saliva, calmed down, and said, "As long as Your Majesty is aware of it, then it will definitely be secretly investigated, and when the time comes, it will ......."
The latter words speak for themselves.
After hearing this, Concubine Shen bit her lower lip, she hesitated, and her brows furrowed slightly: "You mean, the emperor will definitely find out about the matter here, and the palace will also have the opportunity to meet and recognize him?" ”
Yu Qing nodded decisively.
"But the most important thing now is that the concubine must take care of her body."
In short, it's just a sentence.
Where there is life, there is hope.
"Concubine, this sister's words are very reasonable, your own body is the most important." Tangerine Sheng nodded while supporting Concubine Shen.
A trace of hatred diametrically opposed to her appearance flashed in Tangerine Sheng's eyes: "To put it mildly, the poisonous woman of the Queen Mother is so much older than you, even when she is still alive, you and the emperor are not allowed to meet." But when she dies, you'll be able to escape her control. ”
Compared with her life expectancy, even if Concubine Shen consumes it, she will consume the old pious woman to death.
Concubine Shen's original desire to die was pulled back by the words of Yu Qing and Tang Sheng, and she no longer put on a sad face after all.
Tangerine Sheng led Concubine Shen into the room to take medicine, and Yu Qing followed silently.
In the Queen Mother's words today, it clearly means that she has installed her own people inside and outside the Changcang Palace, if she walks out swaggering out at this time, she is discovered by the Queen Mother's people, and her life will be explained.
You must know that the queen mother doesn't want the concubine and the emperor to recognize each other, and she looks at the concubine to death.
Once she found out that there was a stranger next to the concubine, who not only knew the truth of everything but also served in the imperial dining room, it would be strange if she didn't kill her.
Yu Qing's little face was full of helplessness.
I just wanted to enter the palace, to be able to eat enough, and by the way to help the original owner's family overturn the case, who would have wanted to step into this palace gate, back and forth, there are countless rights and wrongs.
Yu Qing stood quietly behind Concubine Shen.
Tang Sheng took out a jade box from the carved rosewood cabinet on the side, used a small silver spoon to dig out a large piece of ointment from the jade box, and evenly wiped it on Concubine Shen's injured hand.
The whole room was quiet for a long time.
Yu Qing was actually worried, she had been away from the imperial dining room for a while, and if someone happened to find out that she was missing, how would she explain it then.
After thinking about it, Yu Qing stepped forward and saluted Concubine Shen.
Then he knelt in front of her, and said in a clear voice: "Niangniang, the slave maid is the head of the imperial dining room, and Ilgen is over the sun." It's almost dinner time, and all the big and small things are waiting for the slave maid, I don't know ...... Is there a way for the slave to escape the Queen Mother's eyes and leave here? ”
"Naturally."
Concubine Shen put her injured hand on the table, "But you said you were in the imperial dining room, but why did you pass out outside my palace gate today?" ”
"This ......," Yu Qing hesitated.
decided to tell the truth, "The identity of the slave is a bit complicated, and the emperor Longen was able to be on duty in the palace. It's just that the slave maid is frequently involved in right and wrong in the palace, and I don't know if someone wants to kill me because of this. ”
"Fortunately, the slave and maid had a great life, escaped, and met you."
Concubine Shen didn't know what to say for a while. The girl in front of her, her eyes are open, she doesn't look like a bad person, how can she be so lucky......
Thinking of this, Concubine Shen had a little more sympathy for Yu Qing.
"The palace has long known that there are people from the Queen Mother inside and outside this Changcang Palace, so naturally we have to leave a way back. Just ......"
She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the way out, only Bengong and a few cronies know, you ......"
"That's it!"
Concubine Shen's words changed, "Today's matter is also a fate for you and me, and the palace will let Tangerine Sheng take you out later." However, you have to do one thing for this palace. ”
"Mother's command." Yu Qing had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Hongu ......"
Concubine Shen seemed to think of something sentimental, her eyes turned red again, and she continued: "You also know the current situation of this palace, and this palace does not have to recognize the emperor right now, but the emperor is a child of this palace. I haven't seen you for many years, how can a mother not miss her own children. ”
"This palace wants you to take a personal object from His Majesty after you go out, no matter what. Bring it so that I can see things and think about people. ”
Concubine Shen stopped after speaking, her eyes staring at Yu Qing were full of hope.
And Yu Qing was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by Concubine Shen's request.
Let her steal it, Your Majesty's personal belongings?
This gave her ten dares, and she didn't dare to do such a thing.
Yu Qing wanted to refuse, but when she touched Concubine Shen's gaze, she thought that she and the Holy Mother and Child were separated and could not see each other, but she swallowed the words of refusal: "Slave, you will definitely complete the task of the mother." ”
When Concubine Shen heard her answer, she bent the corners of her mouth happily.
On the way back to the imperial dining room, Yu Qing couldn't recover from the task given to her by Concubine Shen for a long time, and she clasped her hands embarrassedly.
"Stealing His Majesty's personal belongings, how good is this......"
"Bold! Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty! Just as Yu Qing was thinking about it, a sharp eunuch's voice exploded into her ears like gongs and drums.
Yu Qing immediately came back to her senses, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she knelt down busily: "Slave, slave and maid participate in Your Majesty." ”
"It's you again?" The emperor sat on the step, condescendingly looking at Yu Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and a trace of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.
This little palace maid actually met me three times and twice. Could it be that she plans to climb the dragon and the phoenix and seduce me? Thinking of this, the emperor's vision was a little clearer.
It's just that...... This Irgen was a bit funny, but the scar on his face was too striking, and then he raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Yu Qing couldn't imagine that he and the emperor had met a few times unintentionally, which made him think so much.
She stood up, but her head was still down.
"What are you doing with your head so low? Keep your head up! The emperor's right index finger tapped his knee rhythmically, and his tone seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
When Yu Qing heard this, she quickly raised her head, and at the same time, a gentle evening breeze blew, and a few strands of hair around Yu Qing's ears were gently blown.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the emperor actually felt that Yuqing at this moment had a different kind of charm.
Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, the emperor clenched his right hand into his mouth and put it to his mouth, pretending to cough a few times and clearing his throat.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is still waiting there!" At this time, the father-in-law on the side reminded him in a whisper.
"Concubine Hua?"
The emperor didn't react for a while, "Oh, Concubine Hua! I flipped through her sign today. ”
He glanced at Yu Qing, didn't know what to think, took out a box of jade paste from his arms, and threw it to her: "This is what Fu Ankang asked me to give you, it is useful for the scar on your face." ”
After saying that, he ordered the eunuch to leave here.
Yu Qing held the jade paste in her hand, looked at the emperor who was gradually moving away, and a strange feeling gradually emerged from the bottom of her heart.
But she didn't think much of it, and soon left.
"Do you see clearly? Did the emperor really talk to that little slut? ”
