Chapter Seventy-Six: Weighing and Weighing Up
When Huangfu Heng stepped out of the Chenyang Palace, there was a feeling of being separated from the world, outside the hall and inside the hall, in his eyes, there were completely two scenes.
The eunuch waiting outside saw Huang Fu Heng come out, bowed down and saluted him, and the sharp timbre sounded more or less nondescript in his ears.
"Lord Wang."
Huang Fu Heng's gaze only circled in front of the eunuch, and nodded without being salty.
The eunuch sneered in his heart, but his face had never been so obvious. "Lord Wang, take the order."
Huangfu Heng nodded slightly, and when the eunuch finished reading, he remained silent, listening to the eunuch prompting again, he couldn't help but glance at the eunuch, and he unhurriedly stretched out his hand to take the holy decree that was not too heavy.
"Since this holy decree has been received, then the prince will go out of the palace with our family."
Huang Fu Heng held the holy decree in his hand and slowly followed behind the eunuch.
All the way down, the holy decree was pinched in the hand of the emperor in a dignified manner, and he did not carefully put it away, but with his steady pace, it hit the palm of his other hand little by little.
When the eunuch sent him out of the palace, he watched the emperor holding the holy decree.
"How?"
The eunuch swallowed back the words that had reached his throat, waved his hand, but did not say anything.
After all, even if he is no longer favored, Huangfu Heng is His Majesty's own son, and it is not his turn to be a slave to talk more.
It was only when he saw Huang Fu Heng leaving, that the eunuch turned around and muttered a few words.
Probably a few strange words or something.
At the moment when Huangfu Heng stepped out of the palace, Yun Zhen, who was hiding in a corner, also received the news at the same time.
At that time, she was watering the flowers and plants in the corner of the courtyard that she didn't know what they were, and when she heard Xiao Jiu's advice without a trace of emotion, her movements paused slightly and nodded.
"As the county lord expected, Huangfu Heng is out of the palace."
"I guess it's going to be these two days." Yun Zhen said casually. "It's too ostentatious."
Xiao Jiu probably understood who Yun Zhen was talking about, and nodded almost invisibly in agreement.
Maybe it's because he stays in the station all year round, but because of a little thing, King Anrui is too ostentatious.
King Qi Jing is older, and on the surface, he naturally won't care about King An Rui in general, but he is a little unfair in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have heard the few words that Yun Zhen let people reveal, so he pondered about releasing King Chen Jing out of the palace, just to suppress King An Rui's momentum.
"Hold on."
Yun Hao sighed softly, threw the half of the scoop in his hand into the bucket, and then took out the handkerchief and wiped his fingers gently, his long eyelashes blinking slightly.
"It's time to wrap up."
Yun Zhen's murmur, through the sudden wind, intermittently entered the ears of Zhao Qinxiu, who was holding the threshold and looking away from afar.
She looked away, not knowing what she was thinking.
......
The night was slightly cool, and the sly moonlight was obscured by the slowly drifting dark clouds.
Since the matter of negotiating with Ling Guo was handed over to Huang Fu Heng, His Majesty of the Southern Tang Dynasty was at ease, and he knew in his heart that although Huang Fu Heng was difficult to control, his wrist was much more powerful than the rest of the princes.
As long as Huangfu Heng does what King Qi Jing said, he will be guilty of his crimes.
I'm afraid I'll be better to Huangfu Heng?
The dark clouds that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time were pushed away in an instant, and His Majesty Nantang felt that his spirit was much better.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, do you want to turn over the red head card tonight?" His Majesty Nantang handed the brush in his hand to the eunuch on the side, rubbed the sour forehead, and only glanced at the tray brought by the eunuch, and his eyes passed around the wooden plaque with his name written on it.
He thought for a moment, then got up from the dragon chair and said. "Fade down and swing the Fanghua Palace."
The eunuch holding the tray froze slightly, and soon lowered his eyebrows and respectfully stepped aside.
Seeing His Majesty Nantang drive away, the eunuch left with small steps, and there was no sign of Concubine Shu on the tray in his hand.
It's just that His Majesty has any thoughts, but these eunuchs are elusive.
Concubine Shu didn't seem to have thought that His Majesty Nantang would come tonight, and she was in a hurry when she came out, thinking that she was already ready to go to bed, and most of the ornaments had faded, and the panic that had accidentally overflowed at the bottom of her eyes was covered up by her very well.
Welcoming His Majesty Nantang in, Concubine Shu said softly. "Your Majesty, why did you think of the concubine today?"
"How?" Letting Concubine Shu take off her clothes softly, His Majesty Nantang was in a good mood today, and couldn't help but glance at Concubine Shu. "Is the concubine surprised, or unwilling?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?" Concubine Shu gently slapped His Majesty Nantang's heart with her fist, although Concubine Shu is not young, but in the end it is well maintained, the years have faded the youthfulness of a girl for her, and added a bit of mature charm.
"Isn't this that Your Majesty came in a hurry, so that the concubines were not prepared at all?"
His Majesty Nantang laughed, hugged Concubine Shu into his arms, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Concubine Shu slowly pulled out a smile of unknown meaning, and followed His Majesty Nantang step by step.
After all, he was old, and he was too worried these days to sleep peacefully, and in less than two quarters of an hour, he fell asleep with Concubine Shu in his arms.
After a quiet cup of tea, Concubine Shu, who was sleeping outside, slowly broke away from His Majesty Nantang's arms and gathered the clothes on her body. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
She softly called out to His Majesty Nantang a few words, but it was better for His Majesty Nantang to remain motionless, without the intention of sobering up.
Under the dim light, in front of His Majesty Nantang's sideburns and forehead, there were already bright white hairs, and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes were becoming more and more profound, and they couldn't hide the past at all.
Before going out, Concubine Shu glanced back at His Majesty Nantang.
"Mother." The palace maid who was waiting in the outer hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Concubine Shu had already approved her clothes and came forward to take the oil lamp in Concubine Shu's hand.
"Your Majesty?"
Concubine Shu shook her head and said. "After taking the medicine, I guess I shouldn't be able to wake up for the time being."
She paused, gathered her cloak, and whispered. "Let's go."
The palace maid hurriedly pushed open the door of the palace and led Concubine Shu out of the hall.
After Concubine Shu left the palace, she put on the hat of the cloak.
Out of the main hall of Fanghua Palace, Concubine Shu walked all the way through the night, if it weren't for the flickering lights, I am afraid that no one would be able to see her traces.
Carefully burrowing into the side hall, letting the palace maid wait outside, Concubine Shu reached out and took off her hat, and squinted around the room by the candle flame that was not lit in the side hall.
"I wonder if Niangniang is okay lately?"
Even if Concubine Shu had a lot of speculation in her heart, she couldn't help but be startled by this sudden voice, and turned her head to look at the figure that suddenly appeared.
The figure was much taller than her, looking at the sturdy figure, it should be a man, this person stood quietly in the darkness, almost merging with the darkness, if it wasn't for his sudden opening, Concubine Shu would not have noticed his existence.
The outline of the man's face was hidden in the darkness, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
Concubine Shu tried her best to squint her eyes to see what this person looked like, but she still couldn't see it clearly.
"My master, let me say hello to my mother."
Who his master is, Concubine Shu knew it, so she nodded and said. "Today, since the news came in, I think something is wrong?"
Huang Fu Heng has been trapped in the harem these days, in order to avoid suspicion, so Concubine Shu kept a certain distance from him, never thought that Huang Fu Heng went out of the palace with his front foot, and the news came in with the back foot.
I don't know what it is?
Just when Concubine Shu was pondering what Huang Fu Heng meant, she saw the man come closer and said in a low voice.
"Niangniang is a smart person, and my master trusts Niangniang very much, so I don't see if Niangniang is not on the road."
Concubine Shu's pupils shrank slightly, even if she was completely close, she could feel that the man's sturdy body was completely different from His Majesty's thin body in the Southern Tang Dynasty, a very young and strong man's body.
With a slight distraction like this, Concubine Shu's eyebrows raised slightly, and she spoke directly.
"What the hell does the prince mean?"
Hearing Concubine Shu say this, the man leaned closer and whispered something.
Concubine Shu's original vague thoughts in her heart were shocked by these simple words, she subconsciously took a step back, and her body involuntarily slammed into the door. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
The man repeated in a low voice, as if he had not noticed anything wrong with what he had said earlier.
Concubine Shu's eyes widened in horror, and there was a moment of blankness in her mind.
"You."
She didn't know whether she was shocked or frightened, and her body couldn't stop trembling. "Is your master crazy?"
Her originally suppressed voice, because of emotional fluctuations, subconsciously raised a little in an instant. "DO YOU KNOW..."
But before she could say anything, she felt a hand cover her lips, and she heard a male voice speak in a low voice. "Is Concubine Shu trying to lure everyone over?"
Concubine Shu calmed down slightly, and then listened to the man speak again.
"Concubine Shu is a person who is tied to the same boat as the prince, if those princes know about Concubine Shu, they will be involved with the prince." The man seemed to chuckle softly. "Do you think they're going to let you go?"
"You." Concubine Shu's pupils widened slightly, who can survive in this cannibalistic harem, which one will be a stupid person? Where can you not hear the threat in these words?
She gritted her teeth and whispered. "How dare you threaten Hongu?"
"Mother's mistake." The man paused before speaking. "I just told Niangniang that the prince and Niangniang have long been grasshoppers on a rope, if it happens, the prince will definitely respect Niangniang, why should Niangniang look at the faces of others?"
"But if it is..."
Before Concubine Shu could say anything, she was interrupted by the man. "So, Niangniang weighs it herself."
After a long time, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice.
"When is the prince going to do it?"
The man seemed to be very satisfied with Concubine Shu's cooperation, leaned closer, and said a few words in Concubine Shu's ear.
