Chapter 42 Rainy Night

The emperor smiled and spoke, the noble people were already so frightened that they almost fainted, and the chief manager Liang brought someone and invited the noble people to leave, and the emperor's smiling face slowly sank little by little.

"Dare to accuse me of being greedy for beauty, ignoring my family and country, and saying that Jin Concubine is a demon who misleads the country, and she is a disaster. This Hua Zongmin, who gave him the guts? ”

The young emperor was talking to himself, and when he said it, his voice was very soft, but it sounded like it made people feel cold, and he didn't dare to come out.

The killing intent in these words is thorough and every second, and every word is bloody.

It was night, and the light in front of Wu Guogong's study, as usual, was dim and swaying, but it gradually revealed a trace of weirdness and unusualness.

"Where did this secret order come from?"

In the secret room of the study, Wu Guogong asked coldly, the secret order in his hand was obviously just intercepted, and it was hot and freshly baked.

But such a secret order, which was obviously going to be sent to Hebei, is now in his hands......

The messenger replied in a loud voice, "Lord Hou, I intercepted it on the way to Hebei. This secret order was sent to Hebei Mansion to investigate the secret order of the Governor. ”

is such a secret order, except for the emperor, how many people in this world dare to have such courage?

Slowly unfolded, Wu Guogong looked at it carefully, and for a moment, scolded in a low voice, "This idiot! This is undoubtedly exposing himself early, this Hua Zongmin, what does he want to do? ”

slapped this paper secret order out, and was so angry that he turned around the dark room several times, paused, and ordered someone again, "This secret order is not easy to intercept, you immediately rush to Hebei Mansion to protect that stupid Hua." Halfway to intercept the person, after finding out the identity, you know what to do! ”

Li Dai Tao stiffened, stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix. Since the person who intercepted it is dead, then the next thing will be arranged by them.

The secret order was changed again, and it was sent out overnight, and at that time, the lantern outside the study seemed to flicker lightly, and soon returned to normal.

The wind rose, the night rain gradually came, Wu Guogong finished arranging the incident, and finally put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the study, in the dark night, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, staring and watching, extremely fast and hidden.

This night, it soon rained, first the sparse raindrops, slowly chiseled down from the sky, and soon, it became a continuous rain curtain, gradually, so dense that the whole world seemed to be hung with a huge rain curtain, which could be heard, seen, and touched, but it made people feel depressed and panicked for no reason.

"Niangniang, the emperor sent someone to order, and it will be there soon. Why don't you make up again? ”

In the Chen Palace, Concubine Chen, who was once as delicate as a flower, is now as decadent as a remnant flower that falls from the rain, her face is white and scary, and she looks old for no reason.

Hearing the new palace maid reminding her, she slowly came to her senses, and for a while, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she just nodded and said, "It's okay." The rouge before the palace has also been taken out and should be used, otherwise, if it has been put for so long, I am afraid that it will be moldy and insectial, if the taste is not good, the emperor does not like it, then it will be useless. ”

People are the ones who please themselves, and this harem woman is nothing more than the only man to cling to, and she is the emperor of the dynasty. If even the emperor is disgusted with the smell here, then what hope does she have?

The body trembled slightly, and the new palace maid was carefully taking care of her makeup. Right now, the people close to her are either dead or gone.

The palace maid who was originally the best used, Liu died red, and Qingzhi left.

Even the nurse and mother took the blame for her, and they did not escape the final fate.

Dead, all dead.

She was the only one left, like an empty shell, who didn't even have a soul, and did she expect any day when she would regain her favor?

Thinking like this, he gradually mentioned hatred, the emperor spoiled her, she was the favorite concubine in front of the people, the emperor hated her, she was worse than the cold palace here.

"What's your name?"

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Concubine Chen asked gently, looking at the ingenious little palace maid in front of her, and adding makeup to her from time to time, Concubine Chen only knew that these people were people who were redeployed later, but she didn't even know their names.

"Slave Liu Cui."

While carefully adding to the mother's appearance, Liu Cui whispered softly, and finally added vermilion, and the person in the mirror became clear and beautiful again, as if he had come back to life.

"Really...... Pretty. ”

Concubine Chen gently raised her hand to touch her face, and said in a low voice, Liu Cui had already found her red dress again, and carefully draped it on her body.

"Niangniang, it's raining so hard outside, and the emperor doesn't know when he will arrive. However, after all, the word is coming, and it is always possible to be better prepared. ”

happily helped Concubine Chen up and down to take care of it again, Concubine Chen only smiled and let her do it.

The ups and downs of harem life, from her can no longer see the former spirit, from the taste of falling from heaven to the bottom of the valley she suffers, but if you want to get up again, you have to put more effort into it.

This night, the sound of the rain smashed very quickly, and slowly, under the eaves of the corridor outside the gate of the palace, there was no longer anyone standing.

The attendants on both sides slowly ducked in, hiding from the rain. Slowly in the night, a bright light appeared.

No matter how heavy the night rain is, the light that can't be covered suddenly makes the Dechen Palace happy.

"Niangniang, the emperor is here."

Someone went in quickly, Concubine Chen was stunned, and her face, which had not been smiling for a long time, finally bloomed with a touch of soft joy, "Your Majesty, is it really here?" ”

With such heavy rain, is the emperor really coming?

originally thought that his heart had been calm and calm, but at this moment, it suddenly beat violently, "Liu Cui, hurry." The emperor is coming, and the palace is going to pick up the driver. ”

hurriedly lifted the hem of his skirt and wanted to go out, but the people outside the door came in faster, "The emperor has decreed, Concubine Chen doesn't have to go out to greet her." ”

When the words fell, Concubine Chen was stunned, and the long-lost expectation that rose in her heart turned out to be a loss again.

"Niangniang, the emperor feels sorry for Niangniang and is unwilling to let Niangniang go out and suffer."

Liu Cui persuaded softly, and Concubine Chen came back to her senses in a daze, "Really...... Is it like this? ”

If he really feels sorry for her and is afraid that she will be affected, then why does he always ignore her these days?

And let people kill her nurse and grandma?

Thinking that Mama was dead, she couldn't even collect her body, and her eyes were moist all of a sudden, and tears fell down.

"Niangniang, you can't cry, you must not cry, the emperor wants to see Niangniang unhappy, this is ......" Lucui was startled, anxious and persuasive, raised her hand and took a handkerchief to help her wipe it, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Is such a favorite concubine still the favorite concubine before?

Straight yes...... The slightest bit of domineering is gone.

Once the emperor's favor leaves, the women of this harem will be nothing.

"Okay, this palace doesn't cry, don't cry......"

Whispering softly, Concubine Chen took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, just now she tried to make a happy appearance, and the manager Liang outside the door had already raised her voice, "The emperor has arrived." ”

The slightly prolonged voice trembled into the ears, and was beaten by the sound of rain outside.

"The concubines see the emperor."

Concubine Chen's body had just rushed out and knelt on the ground, and the young emperor had already kicked in the dragon robe, strode into the inner hall, bent down and stretched out his hand to help her up, "Ai Fei, get up." I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I didn't bring you some good things that I just paid tribute, so I'll bring them to you tomorrow when the rain stops, okay? ”

The soft voice, the long-lost warmth, his big dry hands, and a pair of shoes slightly stained with rain were all so familiar and so unfamiliar.

For a moment, Concubine Chen was in a trance, as if she saw that a long time ago, when the emperor first named her a concubine, he had also spoiled her and protected her like this, and in the blink of an eye, she ......

"Concubine?"

Emperor Jing Yuan called to her, "I'm here, what are you thinking?" ”

Big hands shook her hand, took her up, and walked inside.

The layout in the inner hall, as before, is gorgeous and bright, but the invisible publicity is gone.

The corners of the emperor's lips rose slightly, and a beam of light appeared in his eyes, and when he turned his eyes again, he was as gentle as ever, "Ai Concubine." I am the king of a country, I care about the people of the world, and my women have done things, and I can't always expose them lightly. I mean, you know? ”

Approaching the beauty couch, he walked over and sat down, took her hand, and sat down on his body.

The soft woman, the familiar aroma, Emperor Jing Yuan seems to be the same familiar and unfamiliar at this moment.

"Your Majesty, concubine ......" Concubine Chen looked at him chokedly, and wanted to cry inexplicably.

Is the emperor explaining to her why he snubbed her for so many days? Or is he explaining to her that as an emperor, he has no choice but to do so?

Or does the emperor have forgiven her for all the wrong things she did before?

"Chen'er doesn't cry. If you're like this, I'll be distressed. ”

Sighing softly, the emperor looked at her delicate face carefully, and finally said with pity, "I haven't seen you for many days, Chen'er is really thin and haggard." Look at this face...... If I don't come today, will you continue to be so haggard? ”

The warm palm gently caressed her face, and the emperor said distressedly, such a soft emperor, such a person who can support the whole world, is now just an ordinary man facing his own woman.

I can't bear her to cry, I can't bear to make her sad...... At least, Concubine Chen's heart now is this feeling that makes her want to cry.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is wrong. The concubine said everything. Emperor...... As long as the emperor is no longer angry with his concubines, the concubines will no longer dare to come nonsense, and they will no longer dare to disappoint the emperor. ”

The body fell softly in front of the beauty couch, Concubine Chen cried blurred, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

The makeup is spent, and the heart is scattered.

Now, what's left?
