Chapter Forty-Nine: The Color of the Alluring City
If it were an ordinary day, I would never wear this vermilion dress on my body, such a bright and vivid color is really unfamiliar, but today Li Xuan is in trouble, no one is in front of me to shelter me from the wind and rain, no matter what kind of humiliation and tribulation in front of me, I have to rely on myself to get through.
I am Li Xuan's wife and Princess Xuan, and at this time I must stand up and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the entire palace.
I went to the front hall accompanied by Aunt Yun, and even I couldn't believe that there was such courage hidden in my thin body, and I walked hard with every step I took. Li Xuan is in my heart, even if I die, I am not afraid.
There were only Li Bo and the emperor's close attendants and eunuchs in the hall, and when I got closer, it was Chen Fu.
When Chen Fu saw me, he was not arrogant because Li Xuan was imprisoned, but still saluted me, I glanced at it, his hand was empty, not even the Dao Holy Decree, in the middle of the night, why did he come? But after all, he was the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace, and the emperor sent him over, no wonder Li Bo panicked.
I politely asked, "What is the so-called matter when my father-in-law comes to visit late at night?" ”
Chen Fu's expression was as usual, and he said clearly word by word: "The slave is ordered by the emperor to invite Princess Xuan to enter the palace overnight to face the saint." ”
What the?! I was shocked and wondered if my ears were broken. Lieber was equally embarrassed.
The wife of the subordinate entered the palace late at night to face the saint, and the melon field and plum were under the melon field, which was one thing, let alone at such a sensitive moment. As soon as Li Xuancai fell, I entered the palace overnight to meet the emperor, how embarrassing should it be in the eyes of others?
Even if I don't care about my own reputation, I also know that Li Xuan understands that I am not a person who covets wealth and glory, but when I think of Li Xuan being sad and sad when I hear that I have been wronged in prison, my heart aches.
For a person as thoughtful as the emperor, this action really makes me wonder what I can. He just wanted to cut power, and even wanted Li Xuan's life, but what did he want to humiliate Li Xuan like this?
I glanced at Aunt Yun, and after she understood, she asked tentatively: "I don't know if the slave will be wrong with the emperor's will, father-in-law, at this hour, the emperor is afraid that he has already rested." ”
The implication is that anyone can understand it.
Chen Fu had no choice but to repeat the holy will again, and persuaded him with "good words": "The holy will is unpredictable, and if the princess is delayed, the life of King Xuan will be more dangerous." The palace has suffered an accident, and the only one you can rely on is you, the princess, and the hesitation at this time is not good for you. ”
It was so aggressive that my hands hidden under the cuffs had already clenched into fists because of anger, and I said quietly: "If I don't want to go, how will my father-in-law return to the palace to restore his life?" ”
Chen Fu is an old man in the palace, he has never seen any scenes, and what he is most accustomed to is not shocked: "There is only one master of the slave, and that is the current saint." Before leaving the palace, the servants transferred nearly a hundred guards to accompany them, and they were not afraid that the princess would not go with the slaves. ”
Please I need nearly 100 guards to enter the palace? I was so flattered. It seems that I have to go to the palace this time, if I insist on not going, I will definitely affect the rest of the palace. Since I found out about Bai Yi's existence, I guessed that there were a group of dead soldiers in the mansion, but I really couldn't risk letting Li Xuan bear more charges.
Looking at Chen Fu's face, I trembled with anger, but I couldn't do anything, I only hated myself for not learning and not knowing, and I didn't read a few more books on power in Mozhuju, so I could only be passive at the moment and let others slaughter me.
Speaking of which, I can only explain to Aunt Yun and Li Bo to appease the hearts of the people in the palace, if Li Xuan and I can't escape this catastrophe, I hope they can settle everyone in the mansion. The road ahead was unpredictable, Aunt Yun's eyes were red, I shook her hand and walked away without looking back.
I refused Aunt Yun and Li Bo to send me outside the house, Chen Fu lifted the sedan curtain for me, I subconsciously looked back, and the accompanying guards were densely packed with more than 100 people? I'm just the best at it, and it's hard to fly tonight.
The emperor is determined to do this, and there is no room for turnaround. I'm glad I chose to go with Chen Fu, otherwise I don't know what kind of bloody battle it would have been before. The uneasiness in my heart is even worse, this is more than lucky, I really want to see Li Xuan.
I sat stiffly in the sedan chair, my mind blank, letting the sedan chair carry me farther and farther, only to feel that I would never be able to turn back.
Approaching the middle of the night, how many people are still sleeping peacefully, who knows that there is such a big movement in the Xuanwang Mansion?
There is not much distance from the Xuan Palace, I was forced to enter the palace, this road is even shorter, the soft sedan car passed through the palace gate did not even meet the routine check, the guards let this mighty team enter the palace, it can only show that Chen Fu has already taken care of everything, and the road is extremely smooth.
"Princess, please get off the sedan chair, the route in front of you will be led by the minion." Chen Fu's annoying voice sounded outside the sedan car, and people couldn't help but want to brush it away.
I packed up my mind and got out of the soft sedan chair, the sedan chair stopped in a secluded place on the palace wall, it seemed that the emperor still wanted to have a face, and there was no fanfare for Chen Fu to carry me to the face of the saint with a sedan chair, I forcibly suppressed the anger in my chest, and said, "Father-in-law, please lead the way." “
Chen Fuding walked a lot at night, leading me around and around, avoiding the guards who patrolled the palace at night, not to mention, even I couldn't understand where he was taking me. The reason why I am still willing to believe him is because the token of mobilizing the inner palace attendants is in the hands of the emperor, and no matter how fat Chen Fudan is, he will not steal the emperor's things to murder me.
He walked half a step away from me in front of my left, I secretly looked at his face, only to see that he exhaled as usual, his demeanor was calm, and his steps were not slow, he had served the emperor for a long time, and his ears and eyes were all that incomprehensible deep.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly turned his head and pointed to me and said, "Princess, the emperor is now in Longteng Palace, please come with the slaves." “
Also, if the emperor doesn't favor the concubine, where can he stay, there is only this Longteng Palace built for the Son of Heaven. Where else could he see me?
I didn't have time to see what this Longteng Palace looked like, and I was full of thoughts that if the emperor dared to do something beyond the norm to me, I would crash to death on the red pillar of Longteng Palace, turn into a ghost and not let him go, and make him live in peace for the rest of his life.
"The princess is waiting, and the slave will report to the Golden Palace."
Chen Fu entered the hall, I was bored and stood on the corridor outside the hall, on the square palace wall, there was an unrounded moon, like a bite of a cake, it was the moon, and the palace and the palace were different.
Li Xuan and I have never sat in the Qingfeng Pavilion together to admire the moon and eat moon cakes. I agreed to go to the Lantern Festival in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, he smiled and said that I want to confess to him, in fact, I just want to accompany him, his government affairs are busy, and the only free time is given to me, I want to leave some fun memories between us.
Unconsciously, my eyes were so moist that I was about to shed tears, I quickly wiped it with my fingers, just as the door of the palace was open, Chen Fu came out of it, I turned around and listened to him: "The emperor invited the princess in, and the servants were guarding outside the palace." “
Since I entered the palace, it would be hypocritical to say that I wanted to avoid suspicion at this time, so I stepped into the palace hard, and the door of the palace was closed behind me.
The hall was brightly lit, as bright as day, and spacious beyond my imagination. This must be my first time in Longteng Palace, but I vaguely feel familiar. It's a strange feeling.
I didn't see the emperor at a glance, so I could only continue to walk inside, and then I saw a person sitting in front of the table, frowning in thought, and the pen in his hand fell from time to time, pausing from time to time. has passed the third watch, and he is still reviewing the folds, which can not be described as industrious. Since his accession to the throne, he has promoted young officials, reduced taxes, and reduced court expenses, and has done everything in moderation, barely being a wise man.
On the side of his hand, the finished fold has pushed up a small mountain bag, I remember that sometimes I go to the study to send supper to Li Xuan, the documents on his desk are also like this, and I push them aside after reading, I can't get used to it, and I don't consciously help him according to the priority code before he is willing to go, he later told me that he doesn't like the mess of the table the most, but he selfishly wants me to stay with him for a while, so I have to develop a bad habit.
I was in a trance, and I almost wanted to go forward to sort out the folds for the emperor, and when I saw the appearance and bearing of the person in front of me, my heart sank, and I knelt down silently, the ground was cold, which just made me sober. I knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed down to the high emperor: "The courtier Qin Xi greets the emperor." “
The emperor didn't let me get up for a long time, as if he was enjoying my submission to him, I just thought that he vented Li Xuan's resentment on me, gritted his teeth and insisted, for Li Xuan's sake, I would not fall down easily.
The air was stagnant for a while, and it wasn't until my back ached to the point of numbness that he stopped and said, "Raise your head." “
Only four words abruptly smashed into the silence around me, allowing me to say no. I slowly straightened up, my face facing him, but my eyes locked down on a tile in front of me, and my face was calm.
His domineering and cold gaze roamed back and forth on my face, as if he wanted to break through the disguise I had held onto, and the meaning of his words was ambiguous: "On the day Li Xuan asked me to give me a wedding, I was still curious, he thought very highly of himself, why did he miss you alone. In my opinion, you do have the color of a captivating city. “
