Text Chapter 11 remembers
Without saying much, the queen's sharp gaze swept over, and she said word by word, "Go!" Since something happened to your good sister, you have to go and see it yourself. This palace promised you the position of a female official, and it still promised you. But what you have to do for this palace, you must also do it beautifully! If not...... You don't have to come back! ”
Ning'an Palace has never raised waste, and her Wu daughter has been able to live as the queen and the master of the harem for so many years, not only because of that beautiful face, but also because of her strategy and scheming.
"Mother, slave...... The slave must do it well! ”
Hearing the queen's cold and cruel words, Chunyi's body softened, cold sweat broke out, and after a while, he bothered himself and hurriedly pulled the door out.
The moment the door opened, the cold wind choked in, and the queen sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, listening to the drum beating three times, and her heart seemed to gradually come to life.
It was still early, but she couldn't sleep.
"Someone."
After a pause, she shouted out of the door, and the grandmother who was on duty at night got up urgently and pushed the door of the temple in, "Niangniang." Mama prostrated herself on the ground, "What does the mother command?" ”
Calling people in the middle of the night, this is not the first time for Niangniang, but in the previous nights, it was never so cold.
Mama muttered in her heart, and lifted her more and more careful, the queen looked over, and in her stunned expression, she seemed to remember something, but it seemed like nothing.
What the hell is she going to do when she summons people in?
If you go out in the middle of the night to walk around the snow, do you still want to go to the Chengong Palace?
Don't forget, she's poisoned and dying.
"It's okay, let's go down. Take care of your eyes, take care of your mouth. ”
With a tired wave of her hand, the queen commanded Mama again, and Mama was so frightened that she was chilled all over, and she said yes again and again, "The slave doesn't know anything, and he doesn't see anything." ”
As she spoke, the queen had waved her hand impatiently again, and the grandmother went down tremblingly.
Before leaving, the queen lit the lights and candles in the house with her, and in an instant, the bright lights were lit up in advance in the Ning'an Palace on the three watches. When the guards in front of the palace gate saw it, they thought that the queen was not good again, so they immediately waited with bated breath to summon people, but after a long time, there was no movement inside, and the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually dispersed again.
Outside the Qianyuan Palace, Manager Liang had no sleep all night, and was discussing something in a low voice with Lord Nalan who came to speak with red eyes.
"The emperor instructed that if there is something in the palace, Lord Nalan cannot be blamed, so it is not the old slave who wants to embarrass the adult, but it is true that disasters in the palace are frequent at the moment, and the old slave has to do his best."
Manager Liang said sincerely, his eyes were red, and he was obviously tossed a lot.
Nalan City didn't go back to rest until noon, and now that it was dark, he entered the palace again, and this body was also a problem.
"Father-in-law Liang has worked hard. Nalan is young, and his body and bones can still hold up, but his father-in-law didn't rest much this night, why don't you go back and rest first, the emperor has Nalan here to guard, and nothing will happen. ”
The saber on his body sounded, Nalan Cheng bent his hand and clenched his fists, very polite, Manager Liang squinted his eyes and smiled, finally relieved some of his heart, and said happily, "The old slave knows that with Lord Nalan by his side, it will be fine." Even so, the old slave was not polite. This body is old and skinny, and he always feels tired when he moves a lot. ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his waist again, slowly blending into the dark night in front of him.
The wind and snow swirled and fell slowly, and as the morning approached, the snow became heavier and heavier.
Nalan Cheng tightened the big on his body, stomped his feet to keep out the cold, and there was a palace lamp coming by his side, and the guards stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's windy outside, if you don't go in and rest, there are subordinates here to guard, and nothing will happen." ”
"No need, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the emperor's safety, must not relax for a moment."
Shaking his head, he thought of the woman who had been thrown into the empty ruined hall, and he didn't know what was going on now.
With a slight movement of his mind, he instructed his subordinates around him, "Cheer up, when it is close to dawn, people are the most sleepy, and there are accidents in the palace one after another, so we must take strict precautions." ”
"Yes, sir."
The guard's face straightened, and Nalan Cheng nodded, and walked out.
Just walked not far, a palace lantern in the distance hurriedly shouted to this side, the person just arrived, was already panting, and said urgently, "My lord, something happened over there." ”
rushed all the way over, and when I arrived at the scene, it was really an accident again.
The grandmother who was ordered to come to serve Jinyan was strangled to death outside the palace, and a person standing on the side with a palace lamp, her face was pale, and her body was cold.
It was the guard who had guessed Lord Du's mind before, named Han Qiu, as soon as he saw Nalan coming, he immediately knelt on the ground with a "tom", and said in a hoarse voice, "My lord, please cure the sins of your subordinates." The poor patrol of his subordinates almost allowed the assassin to escape, and if it hadn't been for the old woman's desperate efforts to stop her, the female assassin would have run away. ”
Han Qiu said apologetically, Nalan Cheng frowned, anxious, but his face was still calm, "What happened, tell me in detail!" ”
As long as Jin Yan is okay, everything else is not a thing.
It's not because he fell in love with the girl Jin Yan at first sight, but a large part of the reason is also because the emperor named her and wanted her to live.
Concubine Chen's innocence is all tied to Jin Yan alone.
"My lord, this is the case......"
Hanqiu apologized, got up and told the story again.
Hearing this, Nalan Cheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat again, and it was only now that he really understood that the emperor really saw through and understood that anything that had happened in the palace at the moment could not be hidden from his eyes.
"My lord, that's it, because the female assassin wanted to run away, and Mama came out to stop her, and her comrades killed Mama. When his subordinates arrived, the party saw that the matter was revealed and ran away in a hurry, and the subordinates re-tied the female assassin and sent her back to her room. ”
Han Qiu said, with a helpless face and a look of hatred.
It's shocking that there are still comrades, and it's fortunate that the adult was clever before, so the female assassin couldn't leave, otherwise, how could he explain to the adult? Confess to the emperor?
At this thought, the worship on his face immediately rose again.
But he never knew that the so-called clever Lord Nalan in his mouth was just a casual remark to cover up his thoughts, but he didn't expect that such a casual cover-up would save the life of the little palace maid by mistake.
"You, well done. I, Nalan City, will also go to the emperor to ask for a reward for you. ”
With a chill in his heart, Nalan Cheng said in a trembling voice, but he actually knew that the actual situation should not be like this.
It should be the "same party" who wanted to kill people and kill people, but he was discovered by his grandmother, so he stopped him, and then alarmed Hanqiu, so he fled quickly in a hurry.
And really speaking, Mama died for Jinyan.
But how could the place arranged by Mr. Liang be known to outsiders?
Thinking in his heart, Nalan Cheng entered the hall to see Jinyan, and saw that her hands and feet were tied, and she had a cloth in her mouth, and threw it all on the bed, only covered with a quilt on the bed, and no one cared about whether she was comfortable or uncomfortable.
He sighed in his heart, stepped forward and took out the cloth from her mouth and said, "Girl, you have suffered. ”
Raising his hand and untying the rope that bound her hands and feet, Jin Yan saw that it was him, and suddenly felt scared again, his body trembled back, and he shook his head in a panic and said, "It's not me, I didn't kill Mama, I didn't kill Mama." ”
This time, she personally saw her grandmother die in front of her, and her always kind heart was almost unbearable.
Tears flowed down her eyes, and she shouted in a hoarse voice, seeing Nalan City was like seeing the king of Hades who asked for his life.
Nalan Cheng's hand was raised, and he was about to help her tidy up her clothes, so he slowly froze in mid-air, and after a long time, he slowly put it down again, and said with a solemn face, "Girl, don't be afraid." The incident at night was a misunderstanding, and now the emperor wants me to protect the girl, just to get the truth thoroughly. ”
Trying to calm the gaze, it fell lightly on her face.
Thinking about the fate between people, it is actually so wonderful, the first time we met that day and night, he was an adult patrolling with a knife, and she was a trembling little palace maid, but at that time, in order to live, she closed her eyes and shouted out the sentence "The slave is here to find the mother".
It was precisely because of this sentence that her life was finally saved.
It was because of this sentence that Nalan Cheng fell in love with her at first sight.
He has seen a lot of palace maids in the palace, but it is rare to see a woman like Jinyan, who obviously looks scared, but at a critical moment, she is forbearant and strong in her bones.
"Your Excellency, do you mean...... said that the emperor also knew that the slave and maid were wronged? ”
Jin Yan listened, suddenly opened her eyes with joy and asked urgently, the light in her eyes can't be faked, is it a kind of heartfelt expectation that will only burst out because she heard the word "emperor"?
Nalan Cheng's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he chuckled, shook his head and said, "The emperor doesn't know yet, but soon, the emperor will come to interrogate the girl, when the time comes, don't be afraid, if you know, just say something, don't use lies to deceive the emperor, everything is fine." ”
The emperor is wise, and he never rubs sand in his eyes.
But the emperor is occasionally emotional, and it cannot be ruled out that the emperor will treat the innocent Jinyan as a sacrifice for the sake of which lady in the future.
But when the time comes, everything depends on the emperor's intentions.
Nalan City asked Jin Yan to wait, since that night, more guards have been sent to guard it openly and secretly, and the death of Mama is like a small pebble, thrown into the boundless vast sea, quietly, without setting off any wind and waves.
Jin Yan waited, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Emperor Jingyuan seemed to have forgotten this immortal little palace maid to the nine nights, but on the day of Laba, he suddenly remembered such a person.
Instructed Mr. Liang, "That little palace maid is still alive, right?" I happen to be a little free today, so I'm going to bring her here, and I have something to ask her. ”
