203 For a play
The wind at night is cooler and cooler, and there are always more cicadas in summer, making the silent night noisy.
Xia Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed tossing and turning, staring at the candlelight burning on the table, because she was covered with a layer of lampshade by Qingyue, which was more soft, but also more uneasy.
Who is Zeyi, and who is Emperor Xuanjing? Who should be the voices that resounded over and over again in her head?
What about the dreams she had? Those people's words seemed to be speaking to her personally, and even the fear and anxiety that welled up from the depths of their hearts were so real.
There is also Murong Qianlian, the green peacock that is always inscrutable and has an inexplicable sense of mystery, if what he said is true, someone in the palace harmed her? Who will it be? She has always been low-key and cautious in the palace, and she has never offended anyone in the past few years, even the old fox who used to be the most threatening to her is no longer there, so who will attack her?
It was late at night, but Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to sleep.
She was afraid that she would do those inexplicable dreams again, and she was also afraid that Murong Tilting would suddenly appear and take her away, she didn't even know why he took her away, let alone if Murong Tilting would sell her to which pervert next time.
She began to regret that she quarreled with Beigong Yu for those things today, if it wasn't for the quarrel, Beigong Yu would not have withdrawn the company camp, even if they were no longer Murong Tianlian's opponents, at least they could make themselves feel at ease in this situation, the current Dusk Jin Pavilion, there was not a single guard inside and outside, at most they were some powerless little palace maids, nothing could be more uneasy than this.
Even several times in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but want to ask Qingyue to prepare a palace lamp for her to find Beigong Yu, or directly ask Qingyue to tell Beigong Yu that Murong Tianlian had come to find her, but when she looked at the vast night, she suddenly remembered what they said in the afternoon, she reacted, it was dark, she didn't tell Beigong Yu and moved back to Dusk Pavilion first, although Pingshun's father-in-law was not there, but the palace maids of Lingyun Hall knew, but he didn't come to her until now, and he didn't even let Pingshun's father-in-law bring a message.
Is Beigong Yu angry with her?
Once she thought of this, Xia Xiaoxiao was also a little angry, her heart was depressed, and finally she fell asleep in exhaustion, everything today had made her tired enough, she didn't even want to think about what Beigong Yu would be angry with her about.
Moonlight poured down through the thin clouds, enveloping the entire imperial city.
Murong Tinglian stood on a plane tree not far from the Dusk Pavilion with his feet down, his eyes drooped slightly, and the silver light fell from above, coating his almost perfect face without a trace of cold frost, his eyes crossed the slightly open window, the faint candlelight had not yet been extinguished, the breeze gently lifted the curtain on her bed, and his eyes fell directly on the person lying on the bed.
Stepping flat on the treetops, as if walking on the ground, the ears are the rustle of the leaves under your feet, reflecting the faint silver light.
His hands were clasped in his long sleeves, and the breeze blew, and his waist-length hair, which was tied up at random by a hairpin, rose lightly in the wind with his long-sleeved coat, causing slight ripples in the night.
He was not in a hurry, but it was early and late, and one day, she would come back and beg him.
A silvery glow spread over his shoulders, and a green robe seemed to change color, hidden in the darkness behind the plane tree.
The moon was full overnight but there were no stars, and the blue and deep sky seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, making it impossible to peek into the deepest depths.
On the second day, Beigong Yu received a report from the secret agent over there, and new news came from Nanming Country one after another.
But this time the secret agent came is not good news, Qiao Yishen had a delicate and unspeakable relationship with Nanming Kingdom before, and it was also involved in this marriage, before coming back, Qiao Yishen and he attacked Yue Guo, including Yan Yanxing's betrayal, he still abided by the covenant, and gave Yue Hua a lot of help, causing Beigong Yu to never take it to heart, Qiao Yishen didn't know what method he used to escape Beigong Yu's inspection this time, and privately united with Nanming again, Beigong Yu was already a step late when he received the news, Nanming Kingdom held a banquet and invited Qiao Yishen to show a friendly alliance, which was clearly a feast, but it was obvious that this move was for Beigong Yu to see.
Beigong Yu's hand holding the secret report suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball, and sneered, "I'm worried that you don't know that they are already planning to attack Yue Hua?" ”
Qiao Yishen, he underestimated him a little, but now in this situation, he didn't expect Qiao Yishen to suddenly change the direction of the wind at this time.
"How is the Jin Kingdom doing now?"
Beigong Yu threw the crumpled paper into the brazier, and the tongue of fire swallowed it at once.
Duan Moqing still maintains a neutral attitude.
Wuxi hesitated and said, "It's just that now it is rumored that he has a discordant relationship with Princess Changting, and I am afraid that it is one of the reasons why he has always refused to stand on my country's side." ”
"Discord?"
Beigong Yu frowned suddenly.
"Well, I heard that Emperor Duan Jin seems to have taken back the phoenix seal in the hand of Princess Changting, as if it was for a play......"
Wu Xi didn't say anything more about the next words, because he had already seen the extremely displeased disdain between Beigong Yu's eyebrows, "Hmph, the princess of Yuehua is not worthy of a mere Qinglou drama?" ”
He Duan Moqing was afraid that he was already blind, Beigong Yu sneered at the moment, "The matter of the Jin Kingdom will be discussed in a while, and some more people will be sent to the Jin Kingdom to be optimistic about the Changting," At the end, he also instructed, "Send my iron cavalry guard." ”
Wuxi was startled, and immediately reacted, "Is the emperor afraid that Emperor Duan Jin will do something to the princess?" ”
If it weren't for worrying about something, Beigong Yu would not have sent his cronies on such an occasion of employment.
"Those who can climb the throne of God, I don't believe that they don't have any ambitions."
Beigong Yu opened a drawer under the table, there were already a number of cronies in it, all of them were from one person, Changting would send a letter from him in less than a month or two when he first went to the Jin Kingdom, and now it has been nearly half a year since the last one, he always thought that Changting had finally found a home, but he didn't expect it......
Duan Moqing is also an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have married Changting in the first place, but because of his ambition, Changting would be a hub in his eyes to maintain the relationship between Yue Hua and the Jin Kingdom, so as to ensure his own stability, but he would never be subservient to others because of this.
But if Duan Moqing dares to do anything to Changting with this......
A cold color flashed in Beigong Yu's eyes.
The Jin Kingdom is still neutral, Qiao Yishen and Nanming Guo have reached an alliance, but what makes Beigong Yu strange is that Wu Guo, after so long, Yan Yanxing should have been unable to hold back and seek support from Chaoyang State or Nanming Kingdom, but there was no movement, Beigong Yu sent someone to inquire, and the result made him a little shocked.
The original words brought by the man were like this, "It's not that Yan Yanxing hasn't looked for it, but all the overtures were stopped." ”
"Who stopped you?"
The man looked at the yellow-robed man sitting on the dragon chair without being angry, and said boldly, "Yes...... Nanming Kingdom Quasi-Horse Master ......"
At the mention of this, Beigong Yu sneered a little, and even guessed the reason, but no matter what the reason was, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
And when the whole court was thinking about the response to the alliance between Qiao Yishen and the Nanming Kingdom, a few days later, it happened that the century-old underground imperial tomb of the Nanming Kingdom with a long history suddenly collapsed, and the imperial city of the Nanming Kingdom was in chaos, and the alliance between the Chaoyang Kingdom and the Nanming Kingdom was affected.
Nearly half a month has passed in such a panic, Xia Xiaoxiao has been staying in the Dusk Pavilion almost all day long, consuming time boringly, since the last time she went to the dungeon and she moved to the Dusk Pavilion, she has not seen Beigong Yu again.
First, it was because Nanming and Beigong Yu needed to send troops to Wu because of the busy state affairs, Beigong Yu didn't come to look for her, and she didn't think much about it, although she had planned to go to Lingyun Hall to find him several times in the middle, but she endured it.
This may be what people say that she can't pull her down, although she doesn't have any face at all, but as long as Xia Xiaoxiao thinks that she doesn't seem to be wrong, Beigong Yu just left her dry for more than half a month Xia Xiaoxiao is also very unhappy, so she simply shuddered somehow, anyway, she lived a comfortable life alone, but occasionally she felt as if she was empty.
Second, since she saw Murong Tilting that day, although she was worried, but Murong Tilting never appeared again, she was a little relieved, her brain was almost a mess since this time, and she needed time to sort it out.
But I didn't sort out anything for more than half a month, I didn't go to Beigong Yu, but I went to Beigong to make a statement.
Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to leave the palace because she was a little bored from staying in the Dusk Pavilion occasionally, but as soon as she thought that she might run into Murong Tinglian when she left the palace, she gave up this year properly, so she asked Beigong to take her to the horse farm to learn to ride a horse.
Beigong Langyan refused first, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little afraid to teach people who didn't have any foundation at all, so he immediately shook off the sentence, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for me to do about this?" My horse skills are not as good as my second brother, so you should go to my second brother to teach you. ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was unhappy, "You just look down on me, don't you think I'm stupid?" Okay, then I'll go find a random guard to teach me, anyway, they don't dare not disobey the orders of the palace, and when the time comes, even if I fall and knock somewhere, even if I am unlucky. ”
Beigong made a compromise with his words, but Xia Xiaoxiao also threatened him, not letting him tell Beigong Yu, and Beigong didn't dare not agree, but after thinking about it again, if Xia Xiaoxiao really fell, wouldn't he still have to carry this black cauldron?
It is true that he taught very specially, extremely seriously, Rao is Xia Xiaoxiao, a person who has no foundation and was born without any talent in learning, has learned the foundation in half a month.
She is not in a hurry for this thing, anyway, now she can't go to the rivers and lakes to gallop on the royal horse as she imagined before, but at least she can ride a horse out of the palace by herself, and after this, she can practice horse skills or something slowly, and as Beigong said, Beigong Yu's horse skills are good, and she will let him teach her two tricks when he is free.
