Chapter 349: Inappropriate Hospitality
In the courtyard behind them, there were still so many women kneeling for life and life, and the tears had not stopped from the beginning, but since the arrival of the noble concubine, they had been reduced to the background board that attracted the attention of others in the slightest.
It's just that they themselves still have to exert their greatest sense of existence, and they only hope that the noble concubine who has just arrived can take a look at them more.
If I could, I really hoped that this noble concubine could save their lives.
They...... They don't want to die yet!
Also, especially the twenty women who had just come out of the palace and were sent to the Xian Wang's Mansion, the reason why they came back here was precisely because of an order from the emperor and the noble concubine.
And now that they have received such treatment, they are full of expectations that the noble concubine can make decisions for them.
It's just a pity that they don't think much about it, if the noble concubine really took them so seriously, she wouldn't have sent them here from the palace.
They are like a group of "scourges", staying in the palace, and the noble concubine has to worry that the emperor will be attracted to them.
Now, the water that has been spilled, let alone expect the noble concubine to raise her noble hand and take them back again.
After all, no matter where you stay, you're a worrying woman, isn't it? Originally, she gave them to Xuanyuan Yichen, just to be ashamed of Liu Qingyan, if Xuanyuan Yichen was completely meaningless to this group of women, then they had lost their original value.
What reason did she have to recycle the things that had lost their original value? It's useless at all, and there is no harm but no benefit.
At this moment, the noble concubine, between her eyes, she looked at Xuanyuan Yichen unabashedly, but what she said was: "I heard that my cousin was attacked in the mansion and was in poor health, and my cousin was very concerned, so I came to visit." Now it seems that my cousin's spirit and complexion are good, and my cousin can rest assured for the time being. ”
If he really cares about Liu Qingyan, then why are those eyes rolling on Xuanyuan Yichen's body? When her eyes are blind or not?
And that thing has been happening for several days, if she really cared, she wouldn't have come now, let alone someone who came, but didn't take a few more looks at it at all.
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and then said lightly: "If you don't dare to have Cousin Lao, I don't know how the matter of arresting the murderer is going?" ”
Concubine Gao probably guessed that Liu Qingyan would definitely take her to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and replied unhurriedly: "After the emperor and the palace heard about it that day, they were extremely angry, and they dared to do evil to the prince and the princess in broad daylight. The emperor sent a large number of men and horses to arrest the murderer everywhere, but this murderer is too cunning and his martial arts are also very strong, so there has been no progress so far. However, my cousin can rest assured, as long as there is a little latest news, the emperor and the palace will definitely send someone to inform the prince and cousin immediately, and there will be no slackness. ”
Anyone can say nice things, but it's all nonsense. At the end of the day, there's still no news.
As for what she said about sending a large number of people to search for the murderer Sun Bao in time, it was just nonsense when she opened her mouth with one mouth and two mouths, Xuanyuan Yichen got reliable news by herself, and after the emperor and the noble concubine knew about it, they almost didn't raise a glass in public to celebrate.
In order not to be ashamed of the truth, they did send people out to look for them, but among the few people who were sent out, there were also many veterans and weak generals, who looked like they were really doing practical things.
It's obvious that it's perfunctory.
But fortunately, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan didn't count on them in the first place, but it's a pity that they themselves bothered so much effort and time, and there was still no better news, and there was not even a little clue at all.
And Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan still can't be sure whether that Sun Bao really fled long ago or actually hid in the palace, and then the emperor and the noble concubine came to cover him personally!
And this noble concubine still appeared in front of them so blatantly, saying these words that were obviously extremely arrogant. It's just relying on the emperor who is above him, otherwise, where did he have the courage to be so arrogant?
But although the noble concubine is arrogant, Liu Qingyan is not a cowardly and incompetent woman who allows others to bully her!
"My cousin was really touched by my cousin's concern. According to my cousin's opinion, it's better to be like this, you and I sisters have grown up together since childhood, and their friendship is deep, but it is the first time that they have been separated for such a long time. Now it's rare for my cousin to come in person, so it's better to live in this idle mansion for a while, and you and I can talk more together and whisper. Moreover, I believe that during the time my cousin stays here, the emperor will definitely seize the time to find out the murderer as soon as possible to avenge my cousin. What do you think, cousin? Liu Qingyan glanced at Concubine Gao, with a smile on her lips, but her mouth was clear and cold, but she said that Concubine Gao was in a cold sweat.
Even Xuanyuan Yichen looked at Liu Qingyan, who was overflowing with cold air like this, and coughed a little maladapted, to show his slight embarrassment.
And not to mention the water spilled by the daughter who got married, one is a concubine, and it is difficult to even go home to save her relatives, of course, this noble concubine basically has no relatives, and she doesn't need any relatives at all.
Even if there is such a thing as a provincial relative, it is impossible to live for a day or two, where is it possible to live in a prince's mansion for a while.
Not to mention that this prince and the emperor are so incompatible, the relationship is as stiff as fire and water.
And the deep friendship of this so-called cousin sounds so unreliable, looking like that, where does it look like some kind of affectionate good sisters, but it looks like two generations of enemies who are born to be incompatible and want to fight.
And in the final analysis, Liu Qingyan's meaning is clear, leaving the noble concubine in the Xianwang Mansion as a hostage, forcing the emperor to come up with results as soon as possible. Or to put it more clearly, exchanging the noble concubine for Sun Bao depends on whether the noble concubine has this value in the eyes of the emperor, or whether the emperor has this ability.
This kind of clear threat made Concubine Gao's face pale, after all, the two people in front of her, she and the emperor still haven't figured out what the situation is.
Who knows what these two people will do to her, either way, she can't afford to pay the price. Because she is only a woman after all, a woman who relies on men to release her brilliance, everything she has now is because of the emperor's favor.
If...... What if during the period of her captivity, the emperor was hooked up with other goblins? The noble concubine can't afford to lose at all!
However, Xuanyuan Yichen really couldn't agree, not to mention that his palace couldn't be so bold to put a noble concubine under house arrest, not to mention that the emperor would not only not find out Sun Bao, but first ask Xingshi to ask for guilt to find trouble in Xian Wangfu, after all, even if Xian Wangfu really dared to put Gao Guifei under house arrest, the emperor would not be able to lose this face. It is estimated that his palace will be messed up.
Besides, he and Liu Qingyan's bodies are not as good as before...... Liu Qingyan still has his child in his belly, and he doesn't want her and the child to be tired during this time.
No one can hurt his wife and children!
It's just that Liu Qingyan has already said such things, but Xuanyuan Yichen subconsciously thinks that Liu Qingyan will definitely not think of the danger of this thing really being done, and when she says this, there must be a deep meaning behind it that he has not thought of.
It's better to keep watching and see what she wants to do. Anyway, no matter what Liu Qingyan wants to do, she is always on her side.
However, Concubine Gao is not an ordinary person, she may not have thought so much about Xuanyuan Yichen's heart, but she still knows how to protect herself basically, so she immediately said: "Cousin's idea is good, but my cousin believes that no matter whether my cousin lives in the Xianwang Mansion for a while or leaves later, the emperor will definitely do his best to find the murderer." Moreover, my cousin has not seen her cousin for so long, and I really miss it very much. It's just that you and I are no longer the daughters of the day's boudoir, and we are married to our husbands, but we are not ordinary husbands, especially cousins. According to my cousin's wishes, it is really impossible for my cousin to live in my cousin's mansion for a while, but if it is the other way around, my cousin might as well go to the palace with my cousin to live for a while. In this way, it depends on the reluctance of the idle king. What do you say? ”
Concubine Gao not only put herself aside, but also thought about pulling Liu Qingyan in.
Liu Qingyan raised the corners of her lips, then smiled faintly and said, "Cousin is right, you and I are no longer cousins as before. My cousin's suggestion was really ill-considered, but my cousin's suggestion should be dismissed. My cousin hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, but she didn't want to get into it anymore. ”
It's a cage, and I have a chance to escape, and I can't go back again. As for the noble concubine, she is willing to be locked inside, so let her stay in it for the rest of her life.
Anyway, everything there will sooner or later make her regret it. No, maybe someone like her won't regret it at all, she is destined to be ruthless and intrigued, and she can't get out.
Without waiting for the noble concubine to say anything, Liu Qingyan immediately rushed to say again: "It's not too early, it's really hard for my cousin to come out this time, it's better to go back early, and save the people in the palace from worrying about you!" "More importantly, don't be an eyesore in front of yourself.
The other party had already clearly ordered the eviction, but the noble concubine also made it clear that she didn't want to leave in such a hurry at all, but it was also true, "Bengong just arrived here, and he just said a few words to his cousin, and he didn't even touch the stool, and he didn't take a sip of hot tea." Idle king, idle princess, this kind of hospitality is not very suitable, right? ”
In her words, Princess Xian was mentioned, but her eyes never left the Xian Wang. And her eyes flickered and drifted, as if she had something else to say, just to find a more hidden place.
Xuanyuan Yichen groaned for a moment in his heart, and then said: "The concubine is right, so please ask the concubine to come here." ”
As he spoke, he was about to guide the noble concubine to the other side, and his hands, which had been holding Liu Qingyan, were a little harder, and he pushed it gently, signaling her to follow him to entertain this guest who was not welcomed and courteous.
