Chapter 165: The Emperor's Suspicion
Nalan Lan'er felt a sour nose, but she didn't expect Ye Wushuang to be so sad to learn of the queen's betrayal. She carefully held Ye Wushuang's hand in the palm of her hand, blew it carefully, and said distressedly: "Does it hurt?" ”
Ye Wushuang saw that Nalan Lan'er's little face was white and her eyes were red, like a frightened rabbit.
He smiled: "It's okay, just bandage it." ”
Nalan Lan'er instructed Wan'er to bring plasters and gauze, and Wan'er poked her head out and took a look, only to see the emperor's towering back.
"You can go on your own first." Nalan Lan'er blocked her view and said.
Wan'er nodded.
The wound was not small, and the wounds on Yewu's hands continued to bleed. Nalan Lan'er only felt shocked when she looked at it, and her heart was sad and distressed.
Seeing her cautious appearance, Ye Wushuang dissipated most of the dark clouds in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "You can rest assured that you can take medicine, how can it hurt if you bandage me." ”
Nalan Lan'er glared at him rarely, and said with some grievances: "You don't care if you are in pain, but you don't want to think about others." I tremble when I see others shedding blood, how much more when I see you bleeding. As he spoke, his nose was sour, and his voice was choked.
A surge of warmth welled up in Ye Wushuang's heart, and he stretched out his other uninjured hand to stop her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I promise never to do such a thing again next time." ”
"It's best that way." Nalan Lan'er buried her moist face in his arms and said in a muffled voice.
The two are tired of being together like an ordinary husband and wife, you and I are a sentence, so sweet.
Nalan Lan'er was held in his arms, and she was about to fall asleep comfortably, but she heard Ye Wushuang say lightly: "Originally, I was depressed because of the queen's affairs, but I disappeared most of them when I came to you." Now think about it, what can be important to have you and me together. ”
Nalan Lan'er's lax nerves tightened again, and now was not the time for her to let her guard down!
Nalan Lan'er sat up from Ye Wushuang's arms, and looked at Ye Wushuang with fixed eyes: "Your Majesty, in fact, you are not sure in your heart whether the queen has been poisoned, and all this is just your speculation." Is the concubine right? ”
Ye Wushuang nodded with a wry smile and said, "It's really just my suspicion, but I can't control myself from guessing." ”
"If you know it's your own conjecture, why take it so seriously?" Nalan Lan'er smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty, have you heard the story of Zhizi's suspicious neighbors?" ”
As a prince, how could Ye Wushuang not know this story since he was a child, but he still looked at Nalan Lan'er and said, "I don't know." ”
Nalan Lan'er smiled mysteriously and said, "Once upon a time, there was a rich merchant who had a hole in the wall of his house, and his neighbors and sons said that if they didn't repair it quickly, they would definitely encounter thieves. Sure enough, the next day their house was ransacked, but the wealthy merchant only thought his son was smart and thought his neighbor was a thief. Your Majesty, if you have such an idea, aren't you like that rich businessman? ”
Ye Wushuang chuckled lightly and said, "When you say this, I have a feeling that I am suddenly enlightened, I shouldn't chase after the wind." ”
Nalan Lan'er nodded, picked up the wine jar and poured two wine glasses, she picked up one of them and said, "In this case, the emperor, we will be gone in smoke after we have done this glass tonight." ”
Ye Wushuang had a smile in his eyes, no matter what happened, Nalan Lan'er always had a way to dissolve it.
"Good!" Ye Wushuang poured the wine glass into his stomach, along with all the suspicions and worries.
After drinking, Ye Wushuang took Nalan Lan'er's hands and said, "A smart woman like you, who can be the concubine if you don't want to be the concubine?" ”
If any other woman heard this, she would have been overjoyed.
But Nalan Lan'er suddenly knelt down to Ye Wushuang and pleaded: "Ask the emperor to take back his life, Lan'er just wants to stay by the emperor's side and wait in peace, and she doesn't think about those vain things." What's more, if she becomes the imperial concubine, she will definitely be swept into the turmoil, Lan'er just wants to spend her life quietly. ”
Ye Wushuang was greatly moved in his heart, there was such a person who didn't ask for what he needed to be by his side, and was willing to become his pure land in this deceitful deep palace, so he was willing to be willing even if he was under more pressure outside.
Late at night, the two of them lay on a large bed. Ye Wushuang looked at the night with his eyes open, but he didn't feel empty at all, just because of the warm body temperature and fragrance from the people around him.
Ye Wushuang's hoarse voice due to drinking sounded in Nalan Lan'er's ears: "Lan'er, the luck of my life is to meet you and fall in love with you, and I will never fail you for the rest of my life."
Nalan Lan'er opened her eyes, with deep helplessness and desire in her eyes. It's not enough for you to live up to me, I want to make the whole world dare not fail me!
The two were tender and sweet here, but Yun Shan was alone in the palace and secretly wept.
After this incident, it is even more difficult for her to reconcile with Ye Wushuang!
Thinking of the doubt in Ye Wushuang's eyes at that time, a chill came out of his heart, he had never looked at her with that kind of eyes.
When she married Ye Wushuang at the age of thirteen, although the two did not have the intention of being a concubine, they also treated each other politely. Yun Shan asked herself if she knew her well, but it was not an exaggeration to say that the distance between the two was at the end of the world at this moment.
Yun Shan didn't know if Ye Wushuang would be held accountable for tonight's incident, if he investigated it carefully, the paper would not be able to keep the fire.
Her father had just died, and something like this happened to her. If she loses her position as queen, I'm afraid that their family will really have to cross.
Yun Shan had a flustered expression on her face, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.
Seeing her like this, the personal maid on the side couldn't bear to open her mouth and comforted: "Queen Mother, with your friendship with the emperor, the emperor will definitely not blame you."
But the queen yelled, "Shut up, what do you know." ”
The maid was silenced by the roar, and her head was buried in her chest.
Yun Shan seemed to think of something, a glimmer of light appeared in her desperate eyes, she stepped forward and grabbed the maid's hand, and asked, "Where is the silver bottle?" Where's that slut? ”
The maid said resignedly: "Sister Yinhua rested in her room after taking the medicine. ”
Because the silver bottle was more favored in front of Yun Shan, Yun Shan gave her a separate room, which made her lie on the bed through gritted teeth.
When the queen pushed the door and broke in, she was only seen lying on the bed, and her bloodstained clothes had not yet been pushed off. There were a few long whip marks on her back, and Yun Shan only remembered her but was really angry, and the leather whip almost wanted to burrow into her flesh.
Seeing that it was the queen who came in, the silver bottle trembled weakly and beatingly, and she said intermittently: "Emperor, queen mother, you are here." Please, forgive the slave for not being able to say goodbye. ”
The queen waved her hand impatiently, and as if she had given up, she went to the only chair in the room and sat down, looking at her with a calm face.
"Silver bottle, let me ask you where you put the medicine?"
Nervousness flashed in the silver bottle's eyes, and she said hesitantly: "Go back, go back to the queen's mother, the medicine is in the slave's pocket." ”
Yun Shan glanced at her blood-stained clothes with disgust, and said gloomily: "This palace ordered you to throw away the medicine powder tomorrow, otherwise you escaped this catastrophe this time, and it may not be next time." ”
The silver bottle nodded, and said with some grievances: "Niangniang, the slave is also thinking about you." ”
"What do you think about Hongu? Let the emperor. Will you send Hongu to the cold palace? Yun Shan asked aggressively, her eyes almost bursting into flames.
The silver bottle hurriedly explained: "No, it's not. The slave maid thought that if the emperor used that fascination, he would probably not think about those foxes and stay with the queen mother with peace of mind. Mother, mother, mother doesn't have to cry day and night. ”
Yun Shan's eyes darkened, after all, this was also a maid who had been with her for more than ten years, and her voice softened: "This palace doesn't know if the emperor will blame him this time, you can leave tomorrow and quickly dispose of the things." And ......" Yun Shan laughed fiercely and said proudly: "Shut everyone's mouth for me!" ”
After saying that, Yun Shan walked out. There was a complicated look in the eyes of the silver bottle in the room, this was probably the first and last time she had disobeyed her master's orders.
Tonight's Forbidden City is destined to be an ominous night.
In the Cining Palace, in the sandalwood-filled room, the Queen Mother sat on the couch and pinched the Buddha beads in her hand, closed her eyes and rested.
The maid stood beside her respectfully and poured tea for her, the fresh fragrance of tea came to her nose, but the queen mother's brows were tightly locked.
Because of the frequent frowning earlier, there was a wrinkle between the queen mother's eyebrows, which was not deep or shallow, and once she was angry, the wrinkle was like a terrifying hanging.
The chief eunuch An Gonggong stood beside her, looking at his nose and nose, and his heart was calm, as if he was not the one who had stood for five hours.
The chirping of an unknown bird was heard in the distance, and the Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked fixedly at the blood-red moonlight outside the window.
The long, mournful cry of the bird sounded like the wailing of the souls of hell in the night.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression was wrong, Gonggong An stepped forward and closed the window, lowered his head and said, "Lafayette, this is just a night cry." ”
The Queen Mother said faintly: "Why don't you usually see it?" There must be some bad omen! ”
No wonder she had been feeling restless since this morning, and there was always a strange feeling hanging over her.
Father-in-law An knew that this was the queen mother's age, and she was always suspicious and worried. persuaded him: "There are so many people in the palace, and Zigui is not necessarily called to Lafayette." ”
"Listen to it in the ears of the mourners, not to the mourners, but to whom?" The Queen Mother squinted at him, and her fingers began to count the beads again and continued to chant.
"Yes, the minion is talkative." Gonggong An was silent, shrunk his head and stood aside again.
At this time, Zigui screamed again, and the voice got closer and closer, as if it was in his ears.
The Queen Mother was in a trance for a moment, and her weakened heart was like a long wind whistling in the forest. Her hand with the armor cover was slightly entangled, and she pointed to the beam of the house and said, "Quickly drive it away for the mourning family!" ”
Father-in-law An hurriedly ordered a few little eunuchs to go up to the roof to drive away the pesky bird.
