Chapter 426: The Smart Man (2)
Zheng Xiaowan has very few opportunities to meet the emperor in the palace, even if she wants to see the queen, it depends on luck.
She knew that her hope of being favored and promoted was very small.
This time, the queen mother was assassinated outside the palace, and she was shocked. Instead of gloating, she was genuinely afraid. If there is no peace in this palace, her peaceful life will be gone.
She has no ambitions, she just wants a place where she can shelter from the wind and rain and let her mother live a good life.
Zheng Xiaowan wants to come out, this is her only chance.
Meng Xilan looked at her anxious and uneasy face, and pondered slightly for a moment before saying, "You want to help this palace, and this palace will not stop you." Just be careful yourself......"
Zheng Xiaowan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Xie Niangniang." ”
After Zheng Xiaorou left, Zhulu changed a cup of tea for Meng Xilan.
"Niangniang, don't you think this Zheng beauty is very strange?"
She had never seen such a person, and she didn't know where she got her courage!
Meng Xilan's eyes were gloomy, and she took a sip of tea before saying, "To be honest, this palace is a little envious of her......"
"Huh?" Zhu Lu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her face was full of puzzlement.
The master is the queen's mother, why should she envy a little beauty.
Meng Xilan was stunned when she saw her looking at herself, and only said, "She is very honest." ”
There are not many people in this world who can be honest with others, and there are even fewer people who can be honest with themselves.
"...... Where is she honest? ”
But the ignorant are fearless.
"The women who enter the palace all have their hearts. Some for themselves, some for their families. She just wanted her mother to have a good life. This is also rare, what happened to the leftovers? Leftovers can also feed people. At the beginning, I didn't rely on the leftovers from the Queen Mother's reward to survive to this day. Meng Xilan's tone was low.
"Mother, you can't say that, that's different."
Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at her: "What's the difference?" ”
"The Queen Mother really likes her mother and loves her mother." Zhulu is a serious way.
"That love is not for me, it's for her own daughter. The main palace is just a stand-in, a simple stand-in. ”
Zhu Lu sighed softly when she heard this: "It's so dignified, it actually aroused the sadness of the mother, it's really ......"
Meng Xilan waved her hand and said: "This palace is not sad, but I feel that half of my life has passed, and this palace still can't live freely." ”
Zhulu took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Niangniang...... No matter what the mother is, the slave will be with you. ”
Meng Xilan nodded with a smile when she heard this.
Of course she knew that she would always be there for her.
Meng Xilan gave Gao Welfare a three-day period, and when the three days arrived, he couldn't come up with clues and news. He will take his own life.
Gao Welfare stayed up for three days, and his eyes were red.
He was ordered to enter the palace, came to Meng Xilan, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the slave should die!" ”
When Meng Xilan heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly. It seems that he has not found any useful clues.
Zhu Lu sighed in her heart when she heard this, and stared at him, not believing that he would be so useless.
"Since you know that you deserve to die, what are you doing in front of this palace?"
Gao Fuli lowered his head and said: "The slave's life was given by the mother, and the slave wants to say goodbye to the mother!" ”
Zhu Lu couldn't hold back anymore when she heard this, she stepped in front of Gao Fuli, looked at him and said, "Xiao Lizi, do you really have no need to find out anything?" ”
Gao Fuli glanced up at her, and seeing her eager, his gaze couldn't help but sink: "I'm sorry." ”
Zhulu just felt that something was wrong, things couldn't be so simple.
Meng Xilan looked at Gao Fuli and said faintly: "Thinking about the fate of many years, you can break it yourself." Don't come to the palace again, lest you dirty the eyes of the palace. ”
These words seem to be ruthless, but in fact, they still leave him a glimmer of life.
Gao Fuli replied heavily when he heard this, and then kowtowed three times in a row.
Seeing him leave like this, Zhulu was completely panicked, she stood in place, looked at her master, and then looked at Gao Fuli.
Meng Xilan knew what she wanted to say, so she was silent for a moment before she said, "If you don't feel at ease, go out and have a look." Speaking of which, his life is still yours. ”
Zhulu got this, hurriedly curtsied, and hurriedly chased out.
Baozhu looked at it really on the side, shook his head puzzled, and said, "Sister Zhulu, what's wrong?" ”
Meng Xilan sighed softly: "You won't understand." ”
Zhulu and Gao Fuli have been together for so many years, and that affection has long surpassed the love between men and women. It's a feeling that is closer than a loved one.
Zhulu chased Gao Fuli out of the palace all the way, and finally blocked him at the south gate.
Gao Fuli sat on the carriage, looking at the blue-topped carriage that caught up behind, and knew that it was from the palace.
Zhulu jumped lightly, jumped out of the carriage, and came to his side, her eyes red with anger.
She stood on tiptoe, her arms were long enough in front of her, grabbed Gao Fu's collar, and said fiercely: "You come down for me!" ”
It was the first time Gao Fuli had seen her like this, his eyebrows moved, he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and only said to her: "You get in the car first, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient to speak." ”
Zhu Lu didn't relent: "You are all a person who is going to die, why are you still talking so much?" ”
"Bamboo dew!" Gao Fuli called her name in a deep voice, and said with a heavy face: "You come up first, I beg you." ”
Zhulu glared at him fiercely, then let go of her hand.
The two sat in the same carriage and sat facing each other, except for silence and silence.
Gao Fuli has been fiddling with the wrench on his thumb, and he is preoccupied.
Zhulu sat opposite with a calm face, and unconsciously shed tears, even she didn't notice it.
Gao Fuli noticed it first, he looked at her, and shook his head helplessly: "You don't want to be like this, it's not worth it for people like me." With that, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, which she had given him before.
When Zhulu saw the handkerchief, her heart was even more sour.
She snatched the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Yes, people like you are not worth it at all!" ”
She clutched the handkerchief in her hand, not ready to give it back to him.
Gao Fuli opened his mouth slightly, as if he had a lot to say, but he still endured it for the time being.
They came all the way to the high-welfare mansion, and as soon as Zhulu got out of the carriage, he saw the family in the mansion busy moving things and furniture.
Zhulu turned her head to look at Gao Fuli, and saw that he still bowed his head and said nothing, just took her all the way inside.
The house was deserted, and everyone was busy cleaning up.
Gao Fuli let Zhulu come to the main hall, there are still a few people around him, and it is no problem to entertain tea.
Zhu Lu saw that she still had the leisure to drink tea, and she was angry.
She didn't care about the tea, whether it was hot or not, and poured it directly towards Gao Fuli.
Gao Fuli sat there, obviously seeing it, but he didn't hide. As a result, it was splashed.
The tea was still steaming, and it was still quite hot.
Seeing that he was burned, Zhulu still frowned and remained silent, and immediately regretted it.
"No matter how much you want to die, you're not afraid of getting hot."
Gao Fuli pondered for a moment, and then said earnestly: "Zhulu, you can go with me." ”
His sudden words startled Zhulu, and she glared at him and said, "Where are you going with me?" To die together? ”
Gao Fuli shook his head: "Come with me and leave the capital." ”
Zhu Lu smiled coldly when she heard this, and instantly understood what she ordered.
"I'll just say, you won't come back so easily to die. It turned out that I had already thought about running away...... It's despicable! ”
Although she said this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It's better to die than to live. Even if he escaped, he would still be alive.
Zhu Lu stood up suddenly, and only said: "Since you have the determination to escape, then don't say anything more to me, lest my mother be investigated in the future, and I will betray you!" ”
"Wait!" Gao Fuli stopped her way and only said, "Zhulu, you can go with me." If my mother really wanted my life, she would not let me leave the palace alive. ”
When Zhu Lu heard this, she just wanted to raise her hand and give him a mouthful: "It's just that you can live by yourself, and you want me to be with you?" I'm not going to leave my mother. ”
Gao Fuli expected her to say this, and only said: "The days ahead will be more and more difficult, how many mothers can you get as a woman?" ”
Zhu Lu heard what he said, and immediately asked, "Do you know something?" ”
Gao Fu's eyes sank and he refused to answer.
"Little Lizi, can you tell me the truth? If you really know something, you must tell your mother. You don't betray her, you know? ”
Gao Fuli let go of her wrist and shook her head: "I will not betray my master." The reason why I haven't said anything today is because it won't be long before the Ministry of Internal Affairs finds out the clues. ”
When Zhulu heard this, she became even more uneasy.
"What the hell is going on?"
Gao Fulu sighed and said: "The battle for the heir back then may be repeated soon. ”
"What?" Zhu Lu's heart trembled: "What kind of battle for succession?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a rightful prince. Who can compete with him for a place? ”
"Why wasn't Zhou Youping the prince back then? The result was not the same defeat to the emperor. ”
Zhu Lu still shook his head in disbelief, only to feel that he was simply alarmist: "Zhou Youping back then, how can he be compared with Changsheng?" The emperor only has one prince, and the second prince is still crippled...... How could he shake the crown prince's position! ”
"What the hell have you heard? Got it? ”
Gao Fuli looked at her seriously and said, "After Zhou Youping and Zhou Youlin died, the remaining princes were sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. After that, the emperor sent them all to the northwest or the border lands, just to keep them away from the capital and the imperial power. It's been ten years since then, ten years, and the original nominal princes have been waiting for them all these years...... Especially the Seventh Master! ”
Hearing his words, it made Zhulu's back cold, and it was cloudy.
"Waiting for what?"
"Wait to trip the emperor, get rid of the crown prince, and then support the second prince as the emperor, and then be the regent yourself!"
