Chapter 202: The Imperial Concubine's Undercurrent

Imperial Physician Qin inevitably affected Xue Yi, and even committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, Xue Yi was shocked and even more annoyed with Emperor Cheng, she knew that Emperor Cheng was searching for Imperial Physician Qin hard and didn't want her to know the truth about Mama Gong's death, the more Emperor Cheng concealed it, the more Xue Yi wanted to find out the truth, she didn't believe that Emperor Cheng could let go of her father, and she didn't believe that Mama Gong fell from the rockery!

At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door, Xue Yi quickly closed the window, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and lay on the soft couch, and instructed Liu Nong: "Liu Nong, no one has been here just now, and you have never seen anyone, remember?" ”

Liu Nong nodded: "The slave knows." ”

Xue Yi glanced at the door and motioned for Liu Nong to open the door, she expected that Zhang You would definitely not get the holy decree.

Sure enough, Liu Nong opened the pear blossom door, leaned on the door frame and stared at Zhang You, and the lazy Wanfu asked, "May I ask where is General Zhang's holy decree?" The slave maid has already opened the gate of Chenhui Palace, waiting for the general to search for it! ”

Zhang You's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, he knelt in the courtyard with his clothes, kowtowed to the middle of the house and said: "The last general is reckless, and he collided with Niangniang at the right time, and he came to accept the guilt." ”

Liu Nong looked at Zhang You in surprise.

Xue Yi raised her voice and said: "General Zhang is polite, you were ordered to arrest the assassin, what is the crime?" ”

Before Zhang You could say anything, a person dressed as a guard hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, muttered a few words in Zhang You's ear, Zhang You turned his head, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen clearly?" ”

The guard nodded, Zhang You hurriedly turned around, and before he had time to retire with Xueyi, he waved his hand and led his subordinates to hurry away.

Liu Nong looked back and said, "In such a hurry, is it possible that he is in a hurry to be reincarnated?" ”

Xue Yi got barefoot on the ground, lifted the corner of the window screen with her hand and looked out, as if talking to herself and Liu Nong: "If Bengong guessed correctly, they must have found the body of Imperial Physician Qin." ”

Liu Nong leaned over, and sure enough, he saw Zhang You and others gathered around the blue water lake, there was a person lying prone on the edge of the lake, seeing that it was Imperial Doctor Qin who was dressed up, Liu Nong was about to speak, but Xue Yi covered her mouth with her hand.

The two returned to the inner room lightly, Xue Yi lay on the soft couch in a daze with a tired face, and Liu Nong stood aside and didn't know what to say, so he followed in a daze.

A sleepless night and a sad night.

Early the next morning, Liu Nong was leaning on the soft couch and dozing off, Xue Yi looked at Liu Nong who was salivaing, and put on a big coat for her distressedly, Liu Nong opened his sleepy eyes, and hurriedly stood up and wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Why did Niang Niang get up?" The slave and maid went to fetch water and waited for the mother to wash. ”

Xue Yi took Liu Nong's hand, looked at Liu Nong with a solemn face, and saw that Liu Nong's sweat pores stood up, she looked at Xue Yi and said: "Niang Niang has something to do, just tell me, look at the slave and maid like this, the slave and maid are very flustered." ”

Xue Yi pulled Liu Nong to sit on the pear blossom chair, and before she could say a word, she shed tears first, and only after a while did she stuff a bulging burden into Liu Nong's hand, and said: "Liu Nong, this is all my savings, you can take it and find Xiaohu, and then find a place where no one knows you, and live a good life." ”

When Liu Nong heard this, he knelt down on his knees in a panic and cried: "Why don't you want me?" If Liu Nong makes any mistakes, Niang Niang will not have a word of complaint if she wants to beat and punish Liu Nong, just ask Niang Niang not to drive the slave and maid away, Liu Nong has no relatives and friends, although the world is big, there is no place for slaves and maids. ”

Xue Yi picked up Liu Nong with both hands, shook her head slowly, her jade face was miserable, and she cried: "Liu Nong, it's not that I want to drive you away, you also saw the scene just now, the deep palace is not as good as the palace, if you can still protect your safety in the palace, but in this deep palace, the traps are everywhere, and the palace is still difficult to protect itself, how can you ensure your safety." ”

Only then did Liu Nong understand Xueyi's intentions, wiped away her tears, and a resolute smile appeared on her little face: "Niangniang said so, the slave and maid will not leave, the slave and the maid remember that when she was in the palace, Niang Niang said that we will all be together forever, born together and die together, the slave and maid will never leave Niangniang alone, and Niangniang will not watch the slave and maid leave alone, right?" ”

Xue Yi saw that Liu Nong had made up her mind, and nodded: "It's okay, since you have decided to stay, there are some things you must remember, in this deep palace, you can't have eyes, ears, and mouths, do you understand?" ”

Seeing Xue Yi's solemn face, Liu Nong knew that she must have made some major decision after a sleepless night, so she was so cautious and careful, and she looked like she had arranged for the future, and her face couldn't help but nod heavily: "The slave understands that the slave and the maid remember." ”

Xue Yi seemed to be very tired, and said with a faint smile: "Good girl, if I can escape this golden cage one day, I will not treat you badly." ”

Liu Nong looked at Xue Yi's face, opened her mouth, and finally didn't ask, Xue Yi saw her hesitation, smiled and said: "If there is anything you can ask, in front of people, you and I are masters and servants, and after people, you and I are sisters, just say what you have to say." ”

Liu Nong plucked up his courage, pouted and rolled his eyes, and said: "It stands to reason that slaves and maids shouldn't talk about their masters, but that one is not like words, and he actually took advantage of the opportunity for his mother to seduce the emperor!" ”

Xue Yi didn't understand what Liu Nong was referring to for a while, her face was stunned, and when she saw Liu Nong's eyes drifting out of the door, she suddenly understood what she was referring to her sister Xue Wu, these days, Xue Wu is very proud, it can be said that she is loved by three thousand, Emperor Cheng not only named her a jade concubine, but also called her to sleep every night, which can be described as a spring breeze.

Xue Yi's eyes were confused, and she looked at the blue sky and asked Liu Nong: "Liu Nong, what do you say the emperor is doing to me?" ”

Liu Nong pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, if the emperor doesn't like Niangniang, but the emperor sends people to greet him every day, and all kinds of rewards are not less than our Chenhui Palace, but if the emperor is sincere to Niangniang, he hasn't been to see Niangniang once these days." ”

Xue Yi smiled, glanced at Liu Nong, and her voice suddenly became a little more sad and desolate: "The emperor has come." ”

Liu Nong looked at Xue Yi in surprise and blurted out, "When did the emperor come?" How did the slave and the maid not know? ”

Xue Yi looked at the blue sky and looked in a trance: "I don't know when the emperor came, but I am sure that the emperor came." ”

It feels like a very strange thing, but it is also a very real thing, although Xue Yi has never seen Emperor Cheng, but she always feels that he is watching her around her, and when she can't sleep a few times late at night, she seems to hear Emperor Cheng's faint sigh, at that time she was disheartened, and never thought that she would face Emperor Cheng one day, or that she would have to deal with Emperor Cheng to solve all the mysteries and save her father.

Liu Nong saw that Xue Yi was in deep thought, and he didn't bother her, just stood quietly behind her, combing her hair, the jade comb slowly slid down her long black hair, and the only thing that was quiet in the Chenhui Palace was the occasional sound of falling leaves.

"Spring is coming, and the flowers will bloom immediately." Xue Yi looked at the flower branches outside the window through the bead curtain and sighed.

Liu Nongqiang smiled and said, "Yes, the magnolia flowers have already bloomed." ”

"Liu Nong, is tomorrow the Queen Mother's birthday?" Xue Yi raised her head and asked Liu Nong.

Before Liu Nong could speak, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, Emperor Cheng opened the bead curtain and walked in, went straight to Xueyi, and said as he walked: "I know that Xue'er is a person who knows the general situation, and she will definitely not forget the birthday of the Queen Mother." ”

Xue Yi hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Long live my emperor when the concubine knocks." ”

Emperor Cheng held Xue Yi's jade arm with both hands, a little pity and a little love in his eyes, a little helplessness, his intricate eyes fell on Xue Yi's face, his big hand stretched out to Xue Yi's Xue Yan, and when he was not touched, Emperor Cheng's hand suddenly trembled, and there was a little light in his cold black eyes, and his voice was a little choked: "Xue'er, you have lost a lot of weight, I am sorry for you......"

Xue Yi smiled and sat on the soft couch with Emperor Cheng in arms: "Where did the emperor come from?" The emperor was sorry for the concubines, the concubines were ignorant, and they offended the holy driver everywhere a few days ago, and hoped that the emperor would forgive them. ”

Xue Yi said that she got up and wanted to kneel, but Emperor Cheng took Xue Yi into his arms and said, "Xue'er, it's good if you want to open it, since that kid has nothing to do with us, let's send him well." ”

Xue Yi lowered her eyes and nodded: "Maybe it was the punishment of the prince to the concubine in the spirit of heaven, he didn't want his child to call someone else's father, so he took that child away, so as not to make the concubine unable to face that child in the future." ”

Xue Yi said, peeking at Emperor Cheng, seeing that his face was a little embarrassed and ugly, she smiled coldly in her heart.

The room suddenly fell silent, and there was a little embarrassment in the air, Emperor Cheng smiled and diverted the topic and asked: "Xue'er hasn't been out of Chenhui Palace for a long time, have you ever heard of something strange in the palace recently?" ”

Xue Yi shook her head, pretending to be particularly interested, and asked, "Oh? I don't know what's strange? ”

Emperor Cheng paused and said, "Last night, Imperial Physician Qin stumbled and fell into the Bishui Lake behind Chenhui Palace. ”

Xue Yi pretended to be surprised and grew her mouth, and after a while, she shook her head and was surprised: "There is such a thing?" The concubine is as deaf and dumb as she is, and in recent days, she has only cared about being sad for the child she has never met, and she didn't know that Imperial Doctor Qin still had such affection, but I don't know who Imperial Doctor Qin loved? Why didn't the emperor fulfill them? ”

Emperor Cheng's eyes never left Xue Yi's face for a moment, and seeing that she had never seen Imperial Physician Qin, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a perfunctory smile: "These things are just rumors between the palace people, who knows if they are true or not, I don't want to ask about it, or maybe Imperial Physician Qin accidentally fell into the blue water lake." ”

Xue Yi stared at Emperor Cheng's eyes, her voice was a little cold, and asked, "Is it?" Did you stumble and fall into the lake? ”
