Chapter 190: Visiting the Master of the Cold Palace
The sunset slanted in the west, dyeing the earth orange. Yellow. color, a large red cloud condensed in the west, shining on the rice paper written by Nalan Lan'er, which made her look sideways.
Stopped the pen, picked up the words on the table and blew them, can you improve the words after practicing for so long? Looking at the sunset outside, Nalan Lan'er suddenly missed Ye Wushuang very much.
Every brick and tile in the palace, every grass and tree is covered with a layer of colorful clothes, Wan'er has not come back yet, Xia He, as one of the personal maidservants, is naturally guarding not far away.
At this time, she saw the master standing in front of the desk and looking out the window, she also appreciated it, Nalan Lan'er is a beauty, yes, beauty is enough, but the temperament is incomparable. She is neither aggressive nor cowardly. Her cleverness is nothing more than restrained.
Xia He looked at it twice and then lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it, this lady is also not simple, she can bring down the queen and Yixin Niangniang, and sit firmly in this harem. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she didn't believe that she didn't have blood on her hands!
Nalan Lan'er pressed the paper with an inkstone, got up and left the desk, and walked past Xia He, who hurriedly followed. Accompanied to the door, Xia He asked, "Niangniang, do you want to eat some snacks?" ”
Nalan Lan'er shook her head: "This palace is looking at this sunset and wants to come out to take a look." ”
Xia He kept silent and silently followed beside him.
Nalan Lan'er, who was standing at the door, saw the palace maid coming in at the gate of the palace at a glance, and she took Xia He away: "You go to the kitchen to see if there are any fresh dishes, I don't know if the emperor is going to come to Huayan Palace for dinner tonight, go and watch carefully." ”
Xia He naturally didn't dare to slack off when he heard the emperor's two words. After a bow, he took his leave.
After Nalan Lan'er watched her leave, she beckoned to the palace maid standing at the palace gate. The palace maid immediately lowered her head and walked over quickly.
The two stood under the tree, and the palace maid said with a blessing: "Niangniang." ”
Nalan Lan'er snorted, smiled and put the bracelet in her hand on the palace maid's wrist, the exquisite bracelet made the palace maid's eyes light up, and she was busy and said slowly: "Niangniang, today Gonggong An waited outside the queen mother's bedroom for half an hour, and after coming in, I only heard the queen mother ask him about the demeanor of you going to find Gonggong An, and asked if all the people who knew back then had all the mouths extinguished, and only those who extinguished their mouths were the safest." Gonggong An said that there was a little eunuch who had served him since he was a child, but he was let go of him for a while. ”
"In the end, the Queen Mother asked Gonggong An to continue to keep an eye on you."
After listening to the palace maid's whispered report, Nalan Lan'er's eyes were deep and frightening, she hurriedly took a deep breath, let the fist in the costume clench, and inserted her nails into her palm.
After the palace maid finished speaking, Nalan Lan'er gave her another hairpin. "You must be careful about these things, you will be able to leave the palace after a while, your net worth and life are all in your hands, as long as you don't show any traces and continue to pretend to be your palace maid, then after leaving the palace, you should be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth for the rest of your life, right?"
The palace maid was excited but pressed and thanked: "It's all taken care of by the mother, the slave maid has a month to go out of the palace, and she will be careful everywhere, although the slave and the maid don't know what the mother and the queen mother are talking about, but the mother must pay attention to safety." Don't be caught by Grandpa An's pigtails. ”
If in the past, if someone cared so much about Nalan Lan'er, she would definitely be moved, but now she only knows that the palace maid in front of her is just tied to the same stake as herself, and she will say so if she has interests.
She still has to make a look, so she looked at her gently and said: "This palace will pay attention, you also have to be careful, if something happens to this palace, the emperor will guard it, and if something goes wrong with you, not only your own life, but also the lives of your family are also worried." ”
Red. Bare. Bare. The palace maid clenched the hairpin in her hand, and didn't dare to look at Nalan Lan'er again, but kept alerting herself not to relax.
"You go back, it's almost time." Nalan Lan'er looked at the edge of the last sunset and said.
The palace maid retreated with a thousand blessings and walked out of Huayan Palace silently.
Standing alone under the tree for a while, Xia He came back from the kitchen. She hurriedly took a cloak from the house and put it on Nalan Lan'er and said, "Niangniang, night is falling, the wind is strong, let's go into the house, shall we?" ”
Nalan Lan'er calmed the indignation in her heart, the matter of the former emperor is really inseparable from the queen mother! She can't wait to pull the Queen Mother off the horse immediately! The murderer who destroyed her home!
But no, she has to be calm, the queen mother is a mother who dares to kill even her own son, which is terrible. Tiger poison does not eat children, she is more terrifying than a tiger.
She didn't hear what Xia He said, and under the entanglement of hatred, Nalan Lan'er immediately thought of the next step, she was going to find the former emperor and concubine!
Xia He looked at Nalan Lan'er's back, and was startled when she didn't get an answer, and hurriedly called softly again: "Niangniang? ”
Nalan Lan'er came back to her senses, turned to look at Xia He, noticed that she was wearing a cloak on her body, and said with a smile: "This palace is distracted." ”
Xia He said respectfully: "Niangniang, let's go into the house, it's windy at this time, Xia He is afraid that you will catch a cold." Niangniang's body must be well recuperated, give birth to the dragon seed as soon as possible, and with your status in the emperor's mind, you will definitely sit in the harem in the future. ”
Nalan Lan'er heard Xia He's sycophant, and said with a noncommittal smile: "You dare to say this kind of thing, you are not afraid that someone with a heart will hear it and cut off your head in the ears of the Lord Wansui." ”
Xia He shrank his head cooperatively: "Xia He is not talking nonsense, the emperor is eager to promote you to the queen immediately, and Xia He will be the maid of the queen's mother at that time." What a view. ”
Nalan Lan'er took advantage of the night to smile bitterly, queen? After confirming the murderer of the queen mother, she was already indifferent to the queen, and even wanted to escape from the fact that she had a child with Ye Wushuang.
How can she get mixed with the enemy? But fortunately, she was able to get so close to the queen mother to find out the truth.
The brother was disfigured and disfigured, and the brother who once loved her so much became like this. How could her heart not hurt! This is all thanks to the Queen Mother.
The elder brother had been blinded by hatred, he must have hated her so much, and when he disguised himself as a beggar and suffered outside, she lost her memory and enjoyed herself in the palace. That night, he stunned her in the ruined temple, if it weren't for the scars on her hands and felt distressed, he was afraid that he would have the heart to kill her.
But in the end, he told her that she was not Nalan Lan'er, and he recognized the wrong person. I also bought her new clothes and food.
My brother did so much that he didn't hesitate to lie in order to keep her happy. Looking back now, in addition to being moved, it was more about guilt.
reunited with the housekeeper in Nalan Mansion, and the housekeeper was indeed cold to her, and I was afraid that he was also disappointed in her. She had a vague sense that her brother had been going on something, but he didn't want to tell her.
She can only prove that she is not the kind of person who takes refuge in the enemy, and let her brother get in touch with her! No matter what his brother becomes, he is the brother who has always loved her, the only relative.
Thinking like this, the pain in her heart made her uncontrollable tears, and Nalan Lan'er quickly wiped away her tears. His gaze became more and more determined in the dim light.
In order to protect her only brother, and in order to be able to help her brother, she must take every step of the way!
She took a deep breath and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Xia He, wait a minute, after dinner, come with me to the cold palace." ”
Xia He suddenly heard her say this, suppressed the doubts in his heart and responded obediently.
As soon as he walked to the door of the palace, a little eunuch outside the door said: "The slave sees the mother." Long live the Lord said that the government is busy today, and he will come back at bedtime to let the mother have a good meal. ”
Xia He secretly snickered, looked at the master who was also in a good mood, and said to the little eunuch: "Niangniang knows, you can step down." ”
Nalan Lan'er turned around and entered the back room, ate a few mouthfuls of dishes casually, and took advantage of the night that had just fallen, asking Xia He to pack the food and leave Huayan Palace together.
When it was completely dark, Wan'er returned to the palace and found that Nalan Lan'er and Xia He were not there, and were told by the other palace maids that they had gone out, and for a while they were puzzled and asked if they had said where to go out, and the palace maid shook her head.
To no avail, I had to wait in the palace for Nalan Lan'er to come back and tell again.
Xia He carried the food box and followed Nalan Lan'er's side, she rarely came to the cold palace, let alone at night. I felt that Nalan Lan'er seemed to be not afraid and very familiar, and I was surprised in my heart.
Nalan Lan'er seemed to have eyes on the temple behind her, and felt Xia He's uncomfortable smile and said: "This palace has entered and exited the cold palace twice, and I have long been familiar with these roads." ”
Xia He realized that he had made a mistake and quickly stood up straight. Pretend to be not afraid of anything. But the autumn wind just kept blowing, until the leaves rustled, until the flowers rattled, and even the lanterns were blown around.
Nalan Lan'er thought that she was a person who had died once, how could she feel when she looked at these scenes? The grief in her heart has hardened her.
finally came to the door of the cold palace, and the dilapidated appearance was even more cold than the cold palace before Nalan. The door was closed, there was almost no candlelight inside, only the lantern in Xia He's hand was lit around, and when she went up to knock on the door, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Nalan Lan'er and was so frightened that she almost threw the lantern away.
Nalan Lan'er was puzzled: "What? ”
Xia He was so frightened that she almost cried: "Niangniang, I feel that the slave and maid turned around and saw a black shadow, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Nalan Lan'er shook her head and sighed, there are many things that Xia He can't compare to Wan'er, such as guts.
"Hongu is behind you, hurry up and knock on the door."
Xia He went to the door again, standing at the door very reluctantly, she was afraid of what would happen after the door opened. silently took a few steps back and stood in front of Nalan Lan'er. Raise the lantern lighting.
Xia He heard that there was no sound inside, so he shouted a few words: "Is there anyone?" ”
Nalan Lan'er waited quietly, at night in a place like the cold palace, she still stood in a palace posture, with her hands on her abdomen, so decently that people couldn't find fault.
I only heard Xia He's echo echoing around, and finally there was a trace of movement inside, and the door creaked and slowly opened.
