Chapter 138: Bad Omen
Li Donglou whispered: "I'm helping you well, it's you who drank too much, just when you almost went the wrong way, I took you with me, and you bumped into me." ”
Wang Yunyao asked in a daze, "Really?" ”
Li Donglou replied solemnly: "Yes." ”
Wang Yunyao sighed and seemed to accept such an explanation.
Li Donglou saw that Wang Yunyao was really unstable, so he said, "Shall I hug you?" Go faster this way. ”
Although Wang Yunyao was drunk, she still had some sense, she shook her head: "It's not appropriate." ”
Li Donglou said: "Steward Wang doesn't need to be polite to me, what do we have to do with each other, right?" In the past, I didn't know each other, but now I am sympathetic, you are loyal to Concubine Wan, I am loyal to the emperor, and now the emperor and Concubine Wan are one, then the two of us are one, there is no need to twist and pinch, besides, it is very late, Concubine Wan is not there, you don't have to be on an errand, but I still have to be an errand tomorrow, I still take you away, shorten the time. ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Wang Yunyao to refuse or agree, he bent down directly, picked her up horizontally, and picked her up from the back of his waist and legs, Wang Yunyao had to stretch out his hands to hug his neck, so as not to fall off.
Li Donglou looked down at her, the night was too dark, and the girl's face was not very real, but the moonlight was a mirror, shining her face like light and water, and the water was glowing with a thin red glow, which was very beautiful.
Li Donglou raised his arm up again, so that Wang Yunyao's face could get close to him, although he failed to stick to his face, but such a distance also made Li Donglou excited.
Li Donglou walked up.
Wang Yunyao's smell mixed with the aroma of wine came, and her worried voice: "You also drank too much, is it okay for you to hug me like this?" ”
Li Donglou pressed his face down, and when he put his face on her forehead, he didn't move, and he said softly: "No matter when I hold you, I'm fine." ”
Wang Yunyao said: "Next time, I won't drink so much." ”
Li Donglou chuckled: "I didn't expect that Steward Wang was also such a greedy person." ”
Wang Yunyao said: "I didn't drink it before, but after learning martial arts, I slowly became infected with this strange habit, but I rarely get drunk, and I rarely drink so much, maybe I have been in the palace for two months, and I haven't touched a little wine for two months, and I was suffocated, plus today's wine has thousands of tastes, so I am greedy for a while." ”
Li Donglou said: "Well, most of the people who taste this wine for the first time will be greedy. ”
Wang Yunyao sighed: "Understood." ”
She lifted her body up, probably just that posture was not very comfortable, and changed her posture again, this time her face was close to Li Donglou's face, although her face rested on Li Donglou's shoulder, only the edge rubbed the edge of Li Donglou's side face, but just rubbing it like this, it made people's hearts surge.
Li Donglou's heart was instantly filled with happiness, he didn't speak for a while, probably afraid of ruining such a beautiful atmosphere, until he turned to Wuhua Street, he said: "Wang Yunyao." ”
The quiet atmosphere made Wang Yunyao a little drowsy, she fell asleep a little, and when she heard Li Donglou's voice, she mumbled in her nose, but she didn't answer.
Li Donglou said: "When you go back, remember to drink a cup of wine tea, if you don't have it, I will give it to you later, otherwise you will have a headache when you get up tomorrow morning, and it will be extremely uncomfortable." ”
When Wang Yunyao heard this, she immediately woke up most of the wine, and she said, "I didn't get rid of wine and tea!" ”
Li Donglou glanced down at her, and said with a smile: "I knew that you definitely didn't, it doesn't matter, I'll go home in a while and get some for you, just remember to drink it." ”
As soon as Wang Yunyao woke up like this, she didn't let Li Donglou hug her, and turned her head to look, Washington was close in front of her, she didn't let Li Donglou hug her, Li Donglou was not reluctant, let go of her neatly, dusted her sleeves, dusted her pants, squeezed her hands slightly, and then walked forward.
When Wang Yunyao arrived at the gate of Washington, the gate of Washington had been locked from the inside.
Li Donglou asked her, "How do you get in?" ”
Wang Yunyao pointed to the wall, the meaning was very obvious, over the wall.
Li Donglou laughed and said: "Send the Buddha to the west, I will send you directly to the door of your house, and see which courtyard you live in, I will come to bring you wine and tea in a while, and I have to know your door." ”
Wang Yunyao didn't see Li Donglou anymore, and after a pause of less than a second, he nodded: "Okay, I live in the same courtyard as my brother, don't make a noise when you go in, my brother's person is very alert." ”
Li Donglou rubbed his nose with his fingers silently, and said: "Wang Yunzhi is the head of the forbidden army, and he is also my master, of course I know that he is highly alert, don't worry, I just sent you back to the house and alarmed him for something." ”
Wang Yunyao thought about it, so she didn't say much, and with a light mention, she flew up to the wall, and Li Donglou followed, and after the two of them quietly landed in the wall, Wang Yunyao took Li Donglou to Sanyuju.
As soon as he mentioned the matter of the head of the forbidden army, Wang Yunyao asked softly: "How is your Wang family's swordsmanship?" ”
Li Donglou said: "I practiced as much as I taught, less than seven floors." ”
Wang Yunyao said: "If you learn the essence of my brother and understand the essence of the Wang family's swordsmanship, the sixth layer is also very powerful." ”
Li Donglou asked her, "Do you know the Wang family's swordsmanship?" ”
Wang Yunyao said with a smile: "Of course, I am the Wang family, how can I not know the Wang family's swordsmanship." ”
Li Donglou looked at her: "Then let's learn from each other?" ”
Wang Yunyao smiled, glanced at him quickly, and said, "Why do you always want to learn from me?" My Wang family's swordsmanship is not as powerful as my brother's. ”
Li Donglou said: "Just because your Wang family's swordsmanship is not as powerful as your brother, I want to learn from you, I am at my current level, and I can't learn from your brother, but I can learn from you, maybe I can learn from you, I can find out where I am lacking, or where I still need to improve." ”
As he spoke, he added: "You can be a mirror for me." ”
Wang Yunyao couldn't cry or laugh: "If you say that, I don't seem to be able to refuse at all." ”
Li Donglou said: "Then don't refuse." ”
Wang Yunyao said: "Okay. ”
Li Donglou smiled, and after sending Wang Yunyao to the door of Sanyuju, the two climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, until Wang Yunyao was sent to the door of her own bedroom, Li Donglou saw the location of her door clearly, and then turned to leave.
Li Donglou went back to the Li Mansion at No. 471 Range Rover Street, Xia Linghui and Li Yuchen went to Daming Township, and the Li Mansion only had Li Gongjin, and the door was bolted from the inside, Li Donglou also climbed over the wall and entered the door, and quietly returned to his own courtyard, entered the house and took the wine and tea, and quietly climbed over the wall and went out to the Washington Mansion at No. 20 Wuhua Street.
Li Donglou ran back and forth like this, and went to Wang Yunyao's door, Wang Yunyao had already taken a bath, changed his clothes, and was about to lift the quilt to sleep.
Hearing Li Donglou's voice outside the door, Wang Yunyao remembered that she still had to drink wine and tea, and she hurriedly went to open the door.
The door opened, and Li Donglou swept Wang Yunyao's thin and slender waist at a glance, she was only wearing underwear, and this figure was really exposed.
Li Donglou didn't open his eyes, and unceremoniously admired Wang Yunyao's figure from head to toe, and then handed her the dispelling wine tea, and said, "Do you want me to help you make it?" ”
Wang Yunyao stretched out her hand to take the rope wrapped around the tea bag, and said with a smile: "No need, it's late, you go back to sleep quickly, I'll brew it myself." ”
Li Donglou couldn't get into the house, and he didn't force it, and said: "It's a small packet, it's enough for you to soak two packs, don't soak too much, you won't be able to sleep at night if you soak too much." ”
Wang Yunyao responded: "Okay." ”
Li Donglou saw that he had nothing to say, so he had to leave, he really had to go back to sleep tomorrow, he really had to go back to sleep.
Li Donglou said goodbye to Wang Yunyao, returned to Li's house, entered his own courtyard, washed and slept, and before going to bed, he also drank two packs of diluting tea, diluting liquor tea is an old medicinal tea in Huaicheng, the imperial capital, specializing in the treatment of drunkenness, it is a time-honored brand, the effect is very good, two packs of belly, the next day to get up to ensure that the spirit is vibrant, there will be no sequelae after a hangover at all.
Chen Wenqi followed Hongluan into the palace and stayed in the Yanxia Hall at night, but the 'Queen Mother' still came out at night, even if Chen Wenqi was a vicious man, he couldn't suppress the soul of the 'Queen Mother'.
The soul of the 'Queen Mother' still ran out and raged around, seeing Chen Wen slashing in front of Tuoba Mingyan, the 'Queen Mother' seemed to frown, and in a blink of an eye, a white shadow floated and floated out of the Smoke Palace.
This night, not only the masters and servants in the Yanxia Palace saw the dead 'Queen Mother', but also the masters and servants of Shoude Palace also saw the dead 'Queen Mother', as well as all the palace maids and eunuchs on duty at night, so this matter was caught in the Yanxia Hall the night before, but the next morning, it was still in the harem, and it was impossible to hold it anyway.
After a night of panic, the next day the ministers heard about it.
As soon as the ministers heard that the queen mother's soul had returned, their faces were really colorful, in any color, like a broken paint box, really colorful, shocked, shocked, jaw-dropping, joyful, curious, awe-struck, joyful, fascinated, in short, joy, anger and sorrow, all kinds of tastes poured up on their cheeks, on their hearts, on their eyebrows, on their eyes, some people's eyes were inexplicably moist, and some people were stunned.
If you can see the Queen Mother, even if you are a dead soul, you will have no regrets in this life!
From Nie Bei's departure from the mountain, to Chen Wen's return, to the sudden appearance of the queen mother's soul in the harem, the court of the Great Yin Empire has experienced waves of ups and downs.
Some of the meticulous former ministers thought more in their hearts, they saw farther, and they thought more deeply.
The emperor left the palace on the same day, and the soul of the queen mother reappeared that night, or starting from the Yanxia Palace, what kind of person the queen mother is, these old ministers know.
The Queen Mother is ruthless, ruthless to the outside, extremely protective of the inside, how much she protects the people of the Great Yin Empire, how ruthless she is to the enemies outside, she loves the people like a son, and she is loyal to the ancestral system for her life, she does not abuse power, nor steals the country, she is committed to strengthening the Great Yin Empire all her life, supporting the strongest Yin heir, if she really goes, she will definitely not come back to disturb the people of the future, and she suddenly appeared, there must be an ulterior reason.
Why?
The old ministers thought of the Yanxia Hall again, and thought of the Ming Guifei who lived in the Yanxia Palace.
Yanxia Hall was originally just an inconspicuous small palace next to the Zijin Palace, no one cared about it, and no one would pay attention to it, but with the sinking of the Zijin Palace, this small palace suddenly rose.
It seems that once, someone was also like this smoke palace, in front of the queen mother was a little transparent, but suddenly one day, this little transparent was named a concubine by the emperor and favored the harem.
If you think about it carefully, it is not suddenly, it is after the Queen Mother went west, the small transparent Tuoba Ming Yan and the small transparent Yanxia Hall suddenly attracted everyone's attention and became a new light, standing proudly on the branches.
More than three years have passed, the old ministers actually didn't think so much, although the death of the Queen Mother was too sudden, there may be some people who suspected that the Queen Mother died too strangely, and there was another mystery, but at that time, the entire Tai Hospital was dispatched, if only one or two Tai Doctors said that the Queen Mother died of a sudden cerebral stroke, and the Tai Doctors next to them said no, it can also prove that the Queen Mother really died, but all the Tai Doctors at that time were diagnosed, and the consistent result was that the Queen Mother had a sudden cerebral stroke.
Since all the physicians say this, there must be nothing wrong with that.
But now, the sudden reappearance of the Queen Mother's ghost has made these old ministers have to think more in their hearts.
Perhaps, the death of the Queen Mother back then, maybe there is really another mystery?
The new ministers have not experienced the death of the Queen Mother, they probably listened, but they did not have the luck and opportunity to experience that scene in person, and the ministers who had experienced that scene could no longer treat the reappearance of the Queen Mother's dead soul with a normal heart, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they would not show it on their faces.
Nie Bei stood in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, and he couldn't see or hear the whispers and faces of the ministers, but Li Donglou narrowed his eyes, thinking that the Queen Mother had come out again?
Li Donglou felt that this was a little weird, and thought that he had to be on duty in the palace at night to see the situation.
Nie Bei seemed to be fine, and he didn't bother with those irrelevant things at all, he just did his acting duties and seriously discussed the court.
Huatu was also shocked by the fact that the Queen Mother came out again.
Chen Jin, Chen Jianxing, Chen Jian and Chen Luan, the faces of the four of them were also very ugly.
Chen Jin thought that last night, the palace maid of Yanxia Palace, Hongluan, went to the mansion to call Chen Wen into the palace, and asked Chen Wen to cut the night in Yanxia Palace, presumably at that time, Tuoba Mingyan knew that the Queen Mother would come out again and wreak havoc on her palace.
Then, Chen Wenqi is in the palace and still in the Yanxia Palace, then he must know what the situation is, Chen Jin made up his mind, and went to the Yanxia Palace after the dismissal, looked for Chen Wenqi, and asked him what was going on.
Chen Jianxing heard that the Queen Mother's soul went to Shoude Palace last night, and thought of what the Chen family had done before, so he was very worried about Chen Dedi, so he also made up his mind, and went to Shoude Palace to see Chen Dedi, and asked what was going on by the way.
Chen Jian and Chen Ling just wanted to get rid of Nie Bei as soon as possible, and they always felt that the reappearance of the Queen Mother's soul in the harem at this time was not an auspicious thing, nor was it a good omen.
The two of them's eyelids trembled, thinking that they had to go back quickly, and asked Chen Yu to contact the owner of the Dark Moon Mansion again and ask if the killer would be able to do it tonight.
The four of them had different thoughts, and they also participated in the court meeting absentmindedly, and then went to the Yanxia Palace, the Shoude Palace, and the Shoude Palace.
Nie Bei is also going to Shoude Palace today, he wants to solve the case of this spice as soon as possible, Yin Xuan said before leaving, he will only take Nie Qingwan back if the case is solved.
Nie Bei wanted Nie Qingwan to come back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, and as Nie Bei guessed, the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty should be about to arrive, and at the latest tonight, Xuanyuan Ling would bring the people of Hua's Medicine Sect into the imperial capital Huaicheng.
Nie Bei can receive it, but the rest of the things still need Sister Wan to support in the rear.
Nie Bei thought of this, and without delay, let Li Donglou instruct the people of the forbidden army to take the song to the criminal department first, and wait for him to go back to see it, at this time, he was going to Shoude Palace.
Li Donglou went to Shoude Palace with Nie Bei before dinner last night, the gate of Shoude Palace was locked, they couldn't go in to ask, and now I heard Nie Bei say that he was going to Shoude Palace, Li Donglou naturally did not shirk, and asked Zhang Kan to lead a few forbidden soldiers to move the song to the Criminal Department, Nie Bei asked Gong Yongqin to help from the side, and asked Huatu to go back to the Criminal Department, take the confession book and draw the pen.
When Huatu left, Gong Yongqin left, and Zhang Kan led a few forbidden troops to leave, Nie Bei took Li Donglou, and Li Donglou took the forbidden soldiers to Shoude Palace.
Bo Lu had been guarding the door, and when he saw Nie Bei coming out, he naturally followed.
Nie Bei walked a few steps in the evening, and when he went, Chen Jianxing had already entered the gate of Shoude Palace, and Chen Dedi was sitting in the Feng Palace talking to Chen Jianxing.
Chen Dedi also suddenly encountered the fright of the 'Queen Mother' ghost last night, it is false to say that she is not afraid, but she is much more determined than Tuoba Mingyan, and Chen Dedi has not seen the Queen Mother in her early years, she was just born when the Queen Mother married Emperor Yin Zu, and she was just three years old when the Queen Mother was crowned a great treasure, and when she grew up, she could remember things and recognize people, and the glory of the Queen Mother had covered the entire Great Yin Empire.
Although the Chen family is also one of the three tyrants in the court, Chen Dedi was born late, and when she grew up, she suffered the most glorious period of the Queen Mother, and in the most glorious period of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother only had the empire in her eyes, and she was not an insignificant boudoir woman.
Chen Dedi may have admired that person from afar with the glory of the family, but she has not actually met face-to-face.
That night, seeing the ghost of the 'Queen Mother' appear at the head of the bed, Chen Dedi was also frightened and screamed, but soon He Pinxiang and other palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding outside the palace rushed in, and then Chen Dedi was not so afraid.
Having made up her mind, Chen Dedi began to look at this 'Queen Mother'.
It's just that before I could see it clearly, the 'Queen Mother' disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Sitting in the Feng Palace, talking to Chen Jianxing about last night's incident, the regret on Chen Dedi's face was greater than the fear in her eyes, Chen Jianxing saw that she was fine, and her worried heart also fell.
Chen Jianxing said: "Dad is afraid that you will be frightened by the Queen Mother, come to see you, see that you are in good condition, I will not stay, arrange a few more palace maids to keep vigil in the bedroom at night, be careful that the Queen Mother comes back at night." ”
Chen Dedi responded: "Dad, don't worry, I will arrange it." ”
Chen Jianxing nodded, thinking of the various bad things that the Chen family has faced recently, he turned his words a few times, and said softly: "Your grandfather is no longer in the court, although the Chen family has big roots and big branches, and he is not afraid of falling down and scattering, but the people of this year are all looking at a mountain and a mountain high, and now seeing that Washington is about to rise, many people have gone to Huatu to get a touch of the blessings of Washington, so the people here and outside have to take a closer look, the more critical the moment, the more they can't make mistakes." ”
Chen Dedi understands what she hears, she can see it clearly, she also knows that as soon as Chen Hai leaves, these many teacups will be cold, and this solution will have a certain impact on her, after all, the glory and stability of the harem woman actually have a great relationship with the power of the previous dynasty's family.
But what does Washington rely on to get up?
Is it real strength?
No, it's just the emperor's favor.
The favor of a daughter brought the glory of a family.
On the contrary, a daughter's unfavorability will cause the family to be squeezed out.
It's not the family's fault, it's hers.
It's not the family's problem, it's hers.
It was she who was useless and couldn't get the emperor's heart, so she let the family follow her through ups and downs and suffer a lot.
Chen Dedi used to be high, but then she was not high, the reality was pressing, she had to bow her head, she used to sit firmly on the phoenix throne, and she didn't worry about anyone who could squeeze her out, so it didn't matter if the emperor favored her or not, she didn't care if she was fortunate or not.
But now it doesn't work, last time I listened to He Pinxiang and Cai Fang's words, she also planned to use some despicable means to get a glimmer of life, even if the emperor was furious afterwards and blamed her, she was not afraid, as long as she could conceive a dragon.
Once you are pregnant with a dragon child, then all the problems will be solved.
But the emperor didn't come to her, and now she went to the Daimyo Township, their Chen Mansion is retreating, and she has to retreat, the queen mother's ghost has not appeared for three years, but the emperor just left, and she came out on the back foot, which seems to be a bad omen.
Chen Dedi rubbed her handkerchief, the look on her face was lonely and lonely, sad and desperate.
Thinking of Yin Xuan, the pain in my heart cannot be contained, I would rather not see it than fall into it, but I can't get it if I am deeply trapped, what a cruel reality this is.
Chen Dedi sniffed and said in a muffled voice: "If her daughter could be favored, the Chen family would not face the current crisis, this is all to blame on the daughter, it is the uselessness of the daughter that has affected the family so far." ”
Chen Jianxing listened to this, glanced at Chen Dedi, but didn't say anything, but what he was thinking about at the moment was why his daughter would say such things to question herself, since she can remember, she is a very strong girl, with strong learning ability, and she is also very perceptive, she never questions herself, she only motivates herself.
But now, she began to question herself.
When a person begins to question herself, that is also when she begins to fail, at this time, she lacks self-confidence and the courage to move forward.
Chen Jianxing sighed low in his heart, thinking, okay, anyway, they are going to retreat, there is no need to have an indomitable spirit, she planted her head for the first time, and she was so ruthless, she questioned herself and it was understandable.
Chen Jianxing didn't want to stay any longer, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his daughter would blame herself more and more.
Chen Jianxing stood up and said: "If you are in a bad mood, I will go back for a while and let your mother accompany you, and let her accompany you at night, what happened last night, you may not have rested well, you rest for a while, the affairs of the Chen Mansion, the things outside, you don't have to worry, you just need to think about how to exit safely, we can give you some way, this Xiang Nie Bei is also checking, but we won't let him check for too long, he may find out that this incense is related to the Chen Mansion, you take advantage of the relationship between this star and Ding, find a way to get out, Anyway, Concubine Wan is safe and sound, the emperor cares about the old feelings, and he will not really give you the death penalty, at most, strip you of your posteriority, expel you from the palace, and when the time comes, you don't have to do anything with the emperor, retreat when it is time to retreat, give the emperor a step down, and give yourself a safe way home. ”
Chen Dedi is a smart person, what does she not understand? She understands everything, but people are like this, she knows that she should let go, she knows that she should accept her fate, she knows that if she rushes one step further, she will die, but she still wants to rush, even if she really puts it down, but in the end she still can't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Chen Dedi pressed the sourness and stuffiness that others could not understand, and nodded at Chen Jianxing.
