Chapter 271: Who's in the Cold Palace
Nalan Lan'er was a little surprised, and then bowed her head and confessed: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Queen Mother summoned the concubines and asked why the matter of the show girl had not been handled yet, and the concubines did not know, and told the matter of the eldest prince replacing the slaves. ”
Ye Wushuang helped her up, without any blame. only said: "The queen mother will also know these things in the future, this is nothing, have you seen the two companions I chose for the eldest prince?" ”
"The emperor is talking about twins?"
Ye Wushuang said with satisfaction: "Well, there are no children of the right age to read with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only one Taishi gave birth to these twins, and I also liked them, so I let them enter the palace to read to Lin'er as a companion." ”
Nalan Lan'er said with a smile: "The concubine has seen it, she looks very handsome, and speaking of which, it is the first time that the concubine has seen the twins." ”
"Lan'er met the three of them on the road yesterday, right? actually ran away in order to avoid the palace maid slave, and these three people were mixed together at a young age, and they didn't know what would happen in the future. Ye Wushuang's words were like blame, but there was a smile on his face.
Nalan Lan'er also smiled on the side, and after this chatter, the house needs to be lit up.
The eldest prince returned from school, followed by a group of minions, and when he returned to the gate of Huayan Palace, he saw the faces of acquaintances.
Gonggong Sun looked at the eldest prince who was staring at him with a smile and said, "The slave sees the eldest prince, the eldest prince has come back from school?" ”
Lin'er glanced at him suspiciously, and then stepped forward and said, "Is my father already here?" ”
Grandpa Sun replied with a calm smile: "Back to the eldest prince, exactly." ”
After receiving a definite answer, the eldest prince immediately ran towards the palace, and now he no longer had to wait outside when he entered the palace.
Nalan Lan'er and Ye Wushuang were still chatting carefully in the house, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, "Father, Emperor and Mother, Erchen is out of school." ”
Ye Wushuang smiled silently at Nalan Lan'er, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell. The door was pushed open, and a small figure ran in from the outside excitedly, specially steadied himself in front of Ye Wushuang, and said with proper etiquette: "Erchen see father and mother and concubine, long live father and long live long live, and mother and concubine Jin An are blessed." ”
"Hurry up, your mouth is sweet." Nalan Lan'er sat on the side, poured a cup of tea, and waited for the eldest prince to come forward.
When Ye Wushuang also signaled him to get up, the eldest prince happily sat next to Nalan Lan'er, picked up the teacup and drank it.
Ye Wushuang asked, "With the two young masters of the Taishi as your companion, can you be competitive?" ”
As far as Ye Wushuang knows, these two children have been enlightened by their mothers since they were young, and although they are only five or six years old, they can already memorize many poems.
After the eldest prince drank tea, he thought for a while before saying: "Back to my father, Liancheng and Lianbei know more things than Erchen, and Erchen needs to learn from the two of them." ”
As a person, it is good to know humility.
After listening to the words of the eldest prince, Ye Wushuang's mood changed a little better.
The three of them ate at the same table again until nightfall, and the emperor stayed in Huayan Palace.
It was night, and Cailian was guarding outside the door, her face a little red. Fortunately, the night was shrouded and the candlelight was unknown, so the embarrassment on his face was hidden.
Wan'er quietly left Huayan Palace, and came to a quiet and somewhat terrifying cold palace, if you find it carefully, you will understand that this cold palace is the palace where the former emperor and concubine died.
I saw Wan'er walking on the road looking back from time to time, looking not like she was afraid, but she was wary of someone.
Finally arrived in front of the cold palace, it was dark everywhere, only the two lanterns in front of the cold palace emitted dim light, Wan'er stood under the lantern, it looked so gloomy from a distance, she looked back again and looked around seriously. Only then did he quickly open the door and go in.
The door that had not been opened for a long time would have creaked, but Wan'er's arm strength was extraordinary for ordinary women, she lifted the whole door open, and after she dodged in, she quietly closed the door without a sound.
It was very dark in the cold palace, and there was no lantern, and after Wan'er looked around, she took out the fire fold from her arms, blew it gently, protected it with her hands, and walked in carefully.
Finding the candlestick on the table, there was a little wax left on it, she hurried to the ground, a little palace maid came to this kind of land alone and was fearless, I don't know whether to say that she is bold or that she is not afraid of ghosts.
The hall where she stood was the place where the former emperor and concubine died, although this was a cold palace, except for the occasional patrol, there were no palace maids and servants to stop. But after all, it is prudent, and I don't dare to light more candles in the palace.
She put away the fire fold, felt as if someone was behind her, and turned back.
I saw a pair of feet falling on the edge of the candlelight, as for the knees up, still in the dark, such a strange person was standing behind Wan'er before, fortunately, she was sensitive to dodge.
But after Wan'er saw the feet, she only stared at the figure in the dark, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Appear behind me quietly, aren't you afraid of scaring me to death?" ”
The person who couldn't see his face clearly didn't seem to care about Wan'er's words, just looked at the candle on the table and said, "Do you want to attract the patrolling Imperial Foresters?" ”
Wan'er stood up and didn't step forward, looking at the sky outside, there was no light. "It's in the middle of nowhere, and the light of this broken candle can't even shine on your face. Don't worry too much. ”
The cold voice was accompanied by a hint of hoarseness: "Be careful is the best." ”
As she spoke, she was about to blow out the candle.
Wan'er stopped her voice: "Don't blow, I don't want to have no candlelight." Believe me, this candle can't be broken. ”
There was silence for a few seconds, and a cold snort came from the shadows. The candlelight still shone faintly.
"What has Nalan Lan'er been doing lately?" Reciting Nalan Lan'er's name, the people in the shadows seemed to be particularly unwelcome.
Wan'er and she stood outside the range of the candlelight, unable to see each other clearly, and it seemed that they didn't need to see each other.
"She doesn't move, it's the same as before, but something doesn't seem quite right lately, she seems to be a little estranged from me, and now she doesn't tell me everything." When Wan'er said this, she seemed to want the other party to believe that it was not that she was hiding something and not reporting it, but that Nalan Lan'er had become suspicious of her.
"Rubbish! I can't do this well, tell me why something is wrong with her! The people in the shadows were more excited, and finally immediately regained their composure.
Wan'er pondered what to say, but she really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Nalan Lan'er's gourd recently.
can only say the struggle between her and the queen mother: "Recently, the hostility between Nalan Lan'er and the queen mother is very heavy, although the queen mother has looked at Nalan Lan'er unpleasantly before, but Nalan Lan'er has always followed the queen mother, and when they meet these two or three times, they always feel that something has happened between them." ”
"Hmph, no matter what, it's best to let them eat dogs, in short, Nalan Lan'er, that slut can't die now, the harem doesn't know who is behind the help, and there will be new show girls coming in soon, this batch of show girls is not simple."
Wan'er nodded in agreement and pointed out; "These show girls are not picky, and Nalan Lan'er doesn't know what to think, it seems that she really chose the best show girls, and there are two backs. If the situation is good, it must be a strong rival. ”
"Whether it's a strong rival or not, you just have to help Nalan Lan'er kick those sluts away, and when the time comes, I will help you behind the scenes, but the time must be ripe!"
Wan'er nodded, thought about it, and really didn't know what method to use to frame those two deep backs. Jing's show girl can only see what plans Nalan Lan'er has.
The people in the shadows saw that she didn't answer, and warned: "It's not you alone now, if something goes wrong because of what you are playing alone, there will be an extra corpse in the deep well of the harem." ”
Wan'er was not afraid at all, and chuckled, "I, Wan'er, am not a soft-hearted person. ”
"No, it's better, put away the question you asked last time if you can let Nalan Lan'er go, and warn you again, when that slut is useless, she must die!"
Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "I know, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do." ”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go out the door, but was stopped.
"Wait."
Wan'er turned around.
"You said those two show girls back. Jing Hao, is it referring to the daughter of Taifu and Prime Minister? The figure in the shadows suddenly remembered this stubble and asked.
Wan'er bowed her head slightly, regardless of whether the other party saw it or not, "How do you know?" ”
The people in the shadows seemed to have an understanding of Yanzi and Guo Yinyin, and instead of answering Wan'er's question, they said directly: "Compared with the daughter of the Taifu, the prime minister's daughter is easier to handle, she is jealous and thinks of herself as superior, and she can make the emperor snub her if she makes something wrong." Breaking into the cold palace is hindered by the prime minister's face, definitely not. ”
Wan'er was not ambiguous, and nodded again: "The prime minister's daughter is called?" ”
"Guo Yinyin. In short, you have to do everything you can to guide Nalan Lan'er to get rid of those few, if you want to complete our plan, you must follow the last time the queen was given to die, the harem is vacant, if nothing goes wrong last time, the second one after the queen's slut dies is Nalan Lan'er, this is our plan! ”
Wan'er knew that they were just using Nalan Lan'er's hand to get rid of those who would hinder the plan. "I see, is there anything else?"
A straightforward word came from the shadows: "You go." ”
Wan'er looked at the feet, but she didn't know if this person had a problem with her brain or was too cautious, and every time she met, it was these places that others didn't want to approach. If it weren't for the fact that she had a different experience since she was a child and was more courageous, she would have been scared of her ass urine flow a long time ago.
Maybe it's because of her guts that she was chosen.
She retracted her gaze and said as she walked, "I'm leaving, you remember to blow out the candle." ”
As soon as the words fell, the faint candlelight behind her disappeared, Wan'er frowned, and then took a step away.
What a weirdo.
She was vigilant behind her, walked quickly to the palace gate, and then opened the door, flashed out quickly, and when she turned around to close the door, she saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
