Chapter 164: Secret
"Pregnant!"
The old palace maid took advantage of your action of pushing me to let go, quickly bullied forward, and whispered in the ear of Concubine Xi in seconds, and then resumed the action of stepping back just now to get out of Concubine Xi's wolf claws.
Concubine Xi was obviously stunned, and then climbed up with joy on her face.
She subconsciously stroked her stomach gently, and her joy turned to melancholy.
Concubine Xi's eyes swept around a few times, the hand in her sleeve gently faded the old pit ice jade bracelet on her wrist, took the old palace maid's hand, and quietly stuffed it into her hand under the cover of the wide sleeves, pulled her fingers to bend it, and clenched the transparent jade bracelet with her own body temperature.
"Mama......" Concubine Xi screamed in a low voice, waved her hand to rebuke the palace maids beside her and the few little palace maids who didn't look good, and saw that everyone had retreated outside the courtyard, so she turned her face and looked at the old palace maid with tears in her eyes.
The old palace maid leaned into Concubine Xi's ear and whispered: "Niangniang, your nurse Sun Shanggong has returned to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the Zhenguo General said that he will arrange everything, so that you must remember that you must be cautious and do not act according to your own temperament." Seeing that Concubine Xi was busy nodding at her, the old palace maid leaned closer, her voice was almost inaudible, and she said in a voice that could only be heard by Concubine Xi with her ears pricked up: "The general said that you should have discussed this matter with him at the beginning, and now that it is like this, you can only save yourself by yourself, and there is only one way, that is, ......" The old palace maid took a deep breath and said, "You also have to have a body!" ”
Concubine Xi's tears were about to run out of her eyes again, pouting, and said aggrievedly: "Mama, the emperor has left the palace, although I have served a lot of times during this time, but...... It's not what I want him to have! ”
The old palace maid's eyelids moved, but she didn't say anything, and her face was also sad with Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi's tears dried up, she took a deep breath, settled down, pulled the old palace maid to the table, picked up a bowl of tea on the table, whether it was cold or hot, and poured most of the bowl violently, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a firm and ruthless look: "Mama, you find a way to help me." ”
"Niangniang, please say, there are thousands of difficulties, and the slave and maid will not give up." The old palace maid tensed her nerves and answered in a low voice.
Concubine Xi leaned into the ear of the old palace maid and explained in a low voice, the old palace maid's eyes widened and widened, but finally turned into a sigh, "Okay, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely do it, just ugly for a moment, the meditation palace is inaccessible here, and the guards are also handed over at the time of the child, and it is ...... 'safe' when it is ugly." ”
"Thank you, Mama." Concubine Xi bowed her knees to the old palace maid, a rare sensible and courteous time, probably really knowing that she is now a vulnerable group, and she is asking others at the moment.
Zhou Minhao sat in the room in the backyard of the yamen of the Criminal Department that was prepared for officials to rest temporarily, the room was neat and clean, needless to say, it was Zhao Enhao who specially ordered the little servant to clean up in order to serve this uncle who had a serious cleanliness habit.
Ying Yi, who was still unchanged for ten thousand years, quietly floated into the backyard, fell into the house, and bowed to Zhou Minhao and said: "Your Highness, Zhao Shanggong in the palace replied, saying that everything has been done properly, and the appointment is to be ugly at the moment, in the flower room in the courtyard behind the Jingxin Palace." ”
"Well, what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhou Minhao didn't seem surprised, as if everything was going according to plan, sitting behind the bookcase, holding a wolf and not knowing what he was writing, he raised his eyes and glanced at Ying Yi, and then lowered his head to continue to ask.
"He is still handling government affairs in the palace, and His Royal Highness accompanies him."
"What about Zhenguo?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Sister-in-law Wei took the letter from the nurse next to Concubine Xi, and then observed for a whole day, and found that except for the nurse, no one else has entered the general's mansion to deliver letters.
"Well, just let Yingsheng be responsible for this matter, you don't have to be distracted anymore, you are now protecting Liufu." Zhou Minhao put down his pen, raised his head to look at him head-on, and ordered, "Tonight, let Sister-in-law Wei leave the General's Mansion." ”
"Yes, will you let your sister-in-law go back after that?"
"I don't need it."
"Yes." Seeing that Zhou Minhao had no other instructions, Ying immediately retreated and drifted to carry out the task again.
Zhao Enhao turned in from outside the house, walked to Zhou Minhao and sat down, looked at him, and wondered: "Your Highness, what are you writing?" ”
Zhou Minhao glanced at him obliquely, and said in a stiff tone: "I don't need you to bother!" ”
Zhao Enhao pursed his lips in disdain, but his heart was full of joy, when he just glanced at it, he peeked at it, wow, His Royal Highness can actually write love letters?! This is really shocking news for the whole world! It would be even better if the heroine who received the letter could be changed again!
"How is the Marquis of Jian'an preparing?" Zhou Minhao carefully folded the written letter, put it in a bamboo tube and sealed it with fire paint, and put it in his arms with a smile in his eyes. Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Enhao and asked.
"It's already ready, those things are almost in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, and when the cold palace incident happens, it will definitely catch the old thief in Zhenguo off guard." Zhao Enhao became excited, if he could move to Zhenguo, then he would be able to lure out General Wu's dominance, and when the time came, it would be much more convenient to do things.
In the meditation palace, Concubine Xi stared nervously at the hourglass, one of the palace maids who served her, and the oldest one, called Xia Yue, said in a low voice outside the house: "Niangniang, I have prepared a bathing soup, here...... We didn't bring Xianglu over before, but Mama Zhao went to Peixi Palace in person and brought Xianglu for Niangniang...... Mother, but do you want to bathe now? ”
Concubine Xi straightened her face, made herself look a little calm, and then said, "Come and serve." ”
Xia Yue took the palace maids to wait for Concubine Xi to go to the clean room at the back, the bath bucket had been filled with warm water, and the fragrant dew petals had basically been cleaned up in accordance with Concubine Xi's bathing habits, but Concubine Xi was not as picky as before, and she didn't even see if there was her favorite Burmese Guilan in the petals floating on the water surface of the bath bucket.
Xia Yue and the others only thought that she was in the cold palace, and they didn't have the heart to be picky, so to speak, which lady was beaten into the cold palace and someone was carefully served? Being able to eat enough and not drink cold water is already an unattainable thing.
After bathing, Concubine Xi wore a bright red silk sand bandeau skirt with a moon-white velvet shawl, and her face in the mirror also had the ruddy after bathing, making her look even more glamorous, not as beautiful as a girl, but with a charm that only a woman has.
She didn't let the palace maid pull up her hair, but casually draped her long hair, let the hair crooked to the side along the slender and crystalline neck, hanging down, the long black hair like a waterfall covered the bright red skirt, and it looked like the neck and chest were as white as jade.
She sat upright for a while, looked at the hourglass from time to time, and saw that the hour was almost up, so she stood up and quietly walked out of the bolt door behind the clean room.
The wind of the spring night, gentle and gentle, blows slightly, and from time to time there is an unknown fragrance, which wafts around so casually, as if it is a kind of show-off freedom, laughing at the nervous and dangerous women in the cold palace.
Concubine Xi's breathing was tense and constricted, but she was pressed low, almost silent, holding the "fragrant dew" sent to her by the old palace maid in her hand, and clenching it from time to time, for fear of falling to the ground and making a noise to expose her own hiding.
The palace at night is silent, only a bright moon in the sky with a lonely indifferent light illuminates the earth, as if to tell people who have not fallen asleep, you are still alive, the cold palace at night is not even a cat meow, quiet as if you can only hear your own breathing and footsteps, Concubine Xi's nervous palms are sweating, but she does not dare to make a little sound, she gently pushed the wooden door of the flower room, just stepped into the flower room, turned around and wanted to close the door, suddenly someone else hugged from behind.
Before the sound of "ah" came out, she finally got her mind right, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand to prevent the sound from leaking.
"Mother, in the next ...... is under it. The man behind her kissed her bare neck ambiguously, breathing heavily and rapidly, but the voice of explanation could only be heard by the two of them.
Of course, it doesn't include the person with strong martial arts in the shadows.
Ying Sheng, who was hidden in the corner of the flower room to store his tools, felt that he had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes during this time, because his nosebleed had just almost squirted out because of the fragrant picture in front of him.
Concubine Xi's heart was pounding, she knew who he was, she put her soft wattle on the man's healthy arm that was hugging her, and the strong and hard muscles on the man's arm made her panic heart settle down this day.
She gently swayed the man's arm and asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?" ”
"Hmm." The boy hummed plausibly, and then said in a voice full of tenderness: "For the sake of Niangniang, I lost my life in the next place, and I am willing to do it." ”
Concubine Xi's tears welled up again, she hurriedly turned around, looked at him and examined his body and said, "Where is the injury?" Let me see. ”
The man wrapped his long arms, hugged the teary-eyed Concubine Xi in his arms, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just an arrow, it's okay, don't worry." ”
Concubine Xi raised her face, reached out and gently rubbed the man's cheek, stood on tiptoe and pecked his lips that had not yet recovered her blood, the man seemed to be excited and panicked, and was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, his healthy arm tightened, hugged the woman tightly, and his lips and tongue were entangled and kissed.
The panting sound seemed to be deliberately covered, and only the sound of snorting breathing revealed what had happened.
"Ah......" A low roar, as if the erhu that was crazy in the quilt suddenly broke the strings, and there was silence around.
After a while, there was the sound of rustling clothes.
Concubine Xi's slightly coquettish soft voice sounded: "Nanning, how did you come out?" ”
The man's voice replied, with a lazy aftertaste, "The general sent someone to fetch me out and told me...... So, I'm here, and I'll have to go back in a while, so I can't be discovered. ”
Concubine Xi sobbed in a low voice, hugged the man's body, and said coquettishly: "When I have a body here, I will let the emperor promote you, and we can ...... You can also meet the children. ”
"I've wronged you......"
The moonlight leaked in through the white cotton paper pasted on the window of the flower room, so that the flower room was glowing with fluorescent blue light, floating on the budding flowers in the room, a coral-red phoenix flower, the red flower bones were like the cinnabar in the woman's heart, embellished in the wide leaves of the dark green, although it was still small, it was a real red, and when it was invaded by the blue moonlight, the red became the color of purple begonia, and it became a thick and dirty blood color that had been poisoned.
After the two left, Yingsheng walked out of the corner house, stepped on the dirty blood, and walked to the wooden recliner where the two had just intercourse, there was no sound of footsteps, he silently picked up the "Xianglu" bottle that was secretly hidden by Concubine Xi next to the flower gate, kicked it into his arms, and picked up a moon-white shawl on the ground, put it in his arms, took out the handkerchief in his sleeve, and wiped a handful of nosebleeds, TNND, he was in his twenties, he couldn't stand the temptation, it seems that he had to ask His Royal Highness to change his way of working, Or hurry up and ask him to give him a daughter-in-law.
He took a deep breath, letting the blood that had flowed to his lower body flow back to his upper body, and one rolled over from the open window lattice behind the flower room, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
General Zhenguo walked out of the secret room on the side of the rockery, and slowly walked to the courtyard where Hanxiang was, this time he didn't go in, just at the door, squinting at the few red lanterns hanging on the wall in the courtyard that were not dazzling.
He slowly closed his eyes, turned and walked into his inner study.
Mr. Sun was already waiting for him in the inner study, and when he saw him enter the house, he quickly got up to greet him, bowed down and saluted with his fists, and asked, "General, can you take a closer look at the map?" ”
Zhang Hongjin, the general of Zhenguo, put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly at Mr. Sun as he walked, pointed to the chair and sat down, and sat down behind the bookcase, looking at Mr. Sun who had already sat down, and said: "It's almost, the simulated sand table of the terrain has also been made, and the recent progress of Kada City is also very smooth, and our Tianxiong Army has also set off from the South Sichuan Basin, and it seems that there will be more than ten days before it will arrive in Kadacheng." When Zhang Hongjin said this, his eyes narrowed coldly, and his words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "By then, we will have an army of 500,000 in our hands, hum!" Who else is Lao Tzu afraid of?! ”
Mr. Sun also seemed to sigh, nodded and agreed: "Well, even General Nawu is not our opponent, besides, hehe, General Nawu also has his own ambitions, but he may not necessarily protect him!" ”
"Humph! Who can Wu Dali protect? Who will he protect? He will only protect himself, only himself, the one in the palace? Now it's just his umbrella and springboard! Zhang Hongjin said disdainfully.
"General, the little one thought about it, Lord Lu has the tiger talisman of our Tianxiong Army in his hand, this tiger talisman is very important, according to Xiao's humble opinion, this tiger talisman is safer and more secure in the hands of the general."
Zhang Hongjin lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Although he holds the tiger talisman in his hand, this person is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't have much energy, and he can't make waves for him, let alone ...... We also have to be prepared to take a step back. ”
"Does the general want to expose ...... if he is defeated?"
"Well, just push him and Wu Dali out!"
Mr. Sun nodded in understanding, and said, "The general is wise!" It's just that the Liu family, as well as those we used to have, how is this good? ”
Zhang Hongjin laughed and looked at Mr. Sun with slanted eyes, "You haven't seen it in the past few years?" That Liu Wentao is a nerd, you just put those things in front of him, and he doesn't know who to denounce, not to mention, now that he is supported by the emperor, the Liu family is now either a concubine or a little lady, so don't be afraid. ”
killed the current Zhang Hongjin, and he couldn't imagine what it was like to be in the hands of a little lady who had not yet reached the end of his life.
Under Zhou Minhao's deliberate arrangement, the concubine was happy night and night for several days, and Nanning's face became darker and darker day by day, and the crown prince Zhou Minchang must announce Zhou Minhao and Zhou Minrui to enter the Qinzheng Palace every day to learn about the latest interrogation progress.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my brother thinks that the case can now be handed over to my father, and with permission, the case can be transferred from the Criminal Department to Dali Temple for interrogation." Zhou Minhao looked at Zhou Minchang and suggested.
Zhou Minchang glanced at Zhou Minrui, Zhou Minrui also nodded in agreement with Zhou Minhao's suggestion, Zhou Minchang nodded, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, just do what the second brother said." ”
Zhou Minrui glanced at the expressionless Zhou Minhao, and turned to look at the crown prince Zhou Minchang and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, where is the virtuous concubine ......?" ”
"The mother has herself!" Zhou Minchang shook his head with a headache.
"The younger brother thinks it's better to let the queen mother go and talk to the mother, otherwise...... The eldest brother of the prince, the younger brother of the courtiers is really ...... You're too tired. Zhou Minrui slurred his words and said vaguely, his eyes full of distress.
Zhou Minchang is obviously very useful, he can't do without Zhou Minrui, the assistant brother, now, but Concubine Xian is really, more and more domineering, the woman's little bit of power after the power is really vividly displayed in front of him, he is really tired.
Zhou Minchang closed his eyes and nodded, he has to make himself more manly and responsible, concubine? Or honestly, safely, and steadily, and raise it well, the affairs of the previous dynasty, the harem must not interfere, this iron law, should let the mother concubine study hard.
After the prince invited to see Queen Chen, he went out of the palace to see the prince's mansion he grew up in, and the big wedding was imminent, and he had to supervise the country, so he was naturally busy, and he didn't have the heart to bother with his mother-in-law's concubine about those bad things.
The emperor approved Zhou Minchang's proposal, and the assassination was officially transferred from the Criminal Department to Dali Temple.
General Zhenguo was naturally concealed, and in order to conceive a child as soon as possible, Concubine Xi also sang with Nanning Sheng every night.
The shop that Liu Yunyun and Liu Yi wanted to open together was also fully in place, and Liu Yunyun received the news from Liu Dalang and the letter from Zhou Minhao, and her heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
She always feels that human life is precious, seeing that the lives of several people are hanging by a thread, let her laugh and watch her die, she really can't do it, but, with her ability, she can't stop the cruelty of this world, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is the manifestation of civilization backwardness.
Yao remembers a report she read in the previous life, saying that a backward civilization is the law of the jungle, and an advanced civilization is to take the strong to make up for the weak.
The thought drifted back, she opened Zhou Minhao's letter to herself, and the letter said in detail that he had been busy recently, his recent mood, and missed his own thoughts, and finally, he returned to his domineering nature, and asked himself to write to him every day, and Zhao Wu had been appointed as a courier to be responsible for the delivery of the letter by the two, and, in particular, emphasized that he was required to write a letter to him, and the number of words should not be less than eight hundred words, Liu Yunyun saw the back, and almost tore up the letter angrily, eight hundred words? Isn't that the number of words required for all evils in high school?
Thinking of her own bad words, Liu Yunyun had a headache, in her last life, her handwriting was not very good-looking, I still remember that in high school, the Chinese teacher said to her seriously, "You are this word, alas...... The college entrance examination will suffer a big loss. "That's no way, practicing words is not something that can be practiced overnight, fortunately, fortunately, I was admitted to my favorite university in the college entrance examination, and the Chinese teacher shook his head, saying that he was lucky with shit, no matter what, in short, the goal was achieved, happy and happy!
This...... If this is to write a letter to Zhou Minhao, then there is no need to estimate, the answer is definitely and certain, that is, shit luck will not befall him again.
Liu Yunyun angrily cobbled together eight hundred words, packed the letter and handed it to the courier Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu saw Liu Yunyun's sad face, did not dare to squeak, took the letter, and quickly flew out of the courtyard wall of Liufu's backyard.
Liu Yunyun went back to the house, threw herself on the bed, carefully considered the information that Zhou Minhao had passed on to herself, sat up suddenly, called Huanhuan, and asked her to call Liu Dalang over to her.
Liu Dalang soon arrived at Liufu, this time he did not dress up as a funny old woman, but dressed up as a refreshing little girl, which made him look like a businessman was smooth and clean.
"Second Miss, what do you command?"
"You go to Shilibao, find the blessing man, and ask him to send Hanxiang out of the city as soon as possible."
Liu Dalang's eyes widened instantly, and he asked, "...... in the palace?" ”
"No, you don't have to worry too much, the emperor knows about Xiao Jinzi, and he also knows that she is my girl, and he will only help protect her at this time, so you can rest assured." Liu Yunyun pretended to be relaxed, laughing and joking Liu Dalang.
"Hehe, I'm not worried, okay, I'll go out of the city."
Seeing off Liu Dalang, Liu Yunyun simply called a carriage and went to visit Prime Minister Liu's house.
Liu Yinxiao happily and enthusiastically took Liu Yunyun into the house, instructed the girls to make the best tea, bring the best tea over, and took Liu Yunyun's hand into the flower hall.
