Chapter 400: Avoidance
Gan Peilin actually didn't sleep deeply, half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to see Jiang Yu by the bedside all the time, and heard what he said to Liulan.
But what it was, she couldn't hear it clearly and couldn't figure it out.
After Qian Yun came, he used acupuncture therapy to make Gan Peilin sober up, but he still didn't prescribe medicine to her.
And at this time, Jiang Yu was no longer here.
"Crispy core, I ......"
Liulan hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, the crispy core is not here." ”
"Yes, yes." Gan Peilin rubbed his swollen brain, frowned, and said, "Did I just sleep for a while?" ”
"Miss, you've slept for a day and a night." Liulan couldn't help but worry: "Do you still feel dizzy?" Do you want Qian Yun to come over and take a look at you? ”
"Slept for so long?" Gan Peilin was a little unwilling. At this time, the sunlight outside the window shone obliquely, and it was obvious that the sun was moving westward.
She thought it was the day Jiang Yu took her back to the palace.
"Imperial Doctor Qian said that your illness was caused by worrying too much." Rulan showed a worried face: "He makes you relax in everything. ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded slightly: "By the way, at the beginning of my sleep, what did Jiang Yu say to you?" ”
Liulan brought warm water to Gan Peilin: "Xiangye told the slave and maid to take good care of you, and said that these days, please stay in this courtyard to recuperate with peace of mind, and don't go out easily." ”
"Oh." Gan Peilin nodded slightly: "It's good that he didn't get angry with you." ”
"Madame is awake." The swallow came in with a steaming meal, and was overjoyed to see Gan Peilin sitting on the edge of the bed and talking. "The slave maid happened to prepare a meal, and the lady slept all day, so she must be hungry."
"You're back too?" Gan Peilin hooked his lips slightly.
"The master instructed the slave and maid to take good care of you in the house. These days, the war outside doesn't have to worry about Heiyan for the time being. The slave and maid are happy. "The swallow puts the food away.
Liulan twisted the silk and wiped Gan Peilin's face.
The two girls were by her side, and Gan Peilin felt a lot more comfortable.
"Where's Jiang Yu?" Gan Peilin asked, "Has he been here today?" ”
"There is something in the palace, and the master is urgently summoned to the palace." Yanzi raised her eyebrows slightly: "The queen asked someone to send a plaque over, and now she is replacing a new plaque outside the mansion." In the future, we will be the Prime Minister's Mansion here. By the way, Madame, the queen also issued a decree to reward the original Taiwei Mansion to the master and expand the Prime Minister's Mansion. He also ordered the surrounding people to relocate, and rebuilt and renovated it together with the Taiwei Mansion, which was regarded as a reward to congratulate the master and the prime minister. ”
"The queen is rewarding openly, but secretly harming." Gan Peilin pouted when he heard her speak, and the silk wiped away the water stains at the corners of his lips before continuing: "The emperor is newly mourned, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is busy expanding and moving away the people nearby. This is not only disrespectful to the king, but also disturbs the people. ”
"That's right." Liulan was also a little uneasy: "The queen is so elevating our minister, isn't it just pushing us to the forefront!" The more jealous people are, the more hidden arrows they will be, and they will be impossible to prevent. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a small servant outside the door to announce that Princess Xuanting was here.
"What is she here for?" Yanzi was a little unhappy: "When she was on the battlefield, she just took her wife as a hostage." The master has already released her and her good forehead, and he still comes to the door to beg for a beating? ”
"Since she is here, let her wait in the flower hall. I finished dressing and changing, and I went over. Gan Peilin walked to the vanity mirror and looked at his somewhat haggard face in the mirror: "Liulan, do you say that people who have been on the battlefield will become so haggard?" ”
"Not really. The eldest lady only looked haggard and wrote when she was sick. The slave felt that Xiangye was becoming more and more energetic. Liulan chose a plain jade ornament for her, as well as a dark blue garment.
After all, it was the new emperor's frustration, and the wives had to decorate their temples with white flowers to show their condolences.
"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded, Jiang Yu went to the battlefield, just like an eagle soaring in the sky, and a fish galloping in deep water, no more happy.
After cleaning herself up, Liulan had to ask her to eat half a bowl of porridge before she was willing to accompany her to the flower hall.
Gan Peilin couldn't resist her, and after eating, he felt a lot warmer on his body. "Let's go."
Xuan Ting and the others were impatient, pacing back and forth in the flower hall.
The white flowers on her sideburns are woven with small pearls, and seven or eight tassels that tell the story of lovesickness hang down, and she walks with the sound of squirming. Seeing Gan Peilin coming, she rolled her eyes slightly and said, "Mrs. Prime Minister, I'm sorry." ”
"Princess Ting." Gan Peilin saluted her as usual.
"Excuse me." Xuan Ting walked over, her face a little guilty: "That day...... I have no other way to take you hostage. Originally, I didn't mean to hurt you. Peilin, do you still believe me? ”
"Nature." Gan Peilin nodded slightly: "If the princess wants my life, how can I come back safe and sound." It's just that the matter has passed, and there is no need to mind it so much. ”
"The Prime Minister's wife really has a good belly." Xuan Ting's face was full of worry: "I just came out of the palace, the queen mother washed her face with tears all day long, and only when Huai held the little prince was a little calmer and less sad." But when the prince slept, she wept again, and she hadn't eaten anything for several meals. It's really worrying. ”
Gan Peilin didn't know if Xuan Ting really felt pitiful for the queen, anyway, she only thought that the queen's play was excellent.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xuan Ting continued: "I inquired with the maid next to the queen, and said several times, in the dead of night, it was time, and the queen almost went with the emperor...... It's really infatuated. ”
"......" Gan Peilin thought to herself, the queen pushed the emperor to die at this time because of her life, and she didn't pretend to be pretty, but she was afraid that others would suspect her.
"Madam......" Xuan Ting saw that she was silent, and she didn't know whether to say it for a while.
"If the princess has anything to say, just say it." Gan Peilin was tired and didn't have the heart to waste time with her. It's better to be refreshing.
"I ...... I have a reluctant request. The corners of Xuan Ting's lips were slightly hooked, and she said with a bright smile: "Actually, before I came, I went to ask my father first." But my father said that now this matter must be nodded by Jiang Xiang before he can count it. You also know that I don't have any friendship with Jiang Xiang. I can only be cheeky to beg Mrs. ”
"You want to get a job for your husband?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but be strange.
"Yes." Xuan Ting nodded neatly.
"Isn't that weird?" Gan Peilin was puzzled: "Your husband was originally a general of the imperial court, and he is not without an official position. Even if he lost the battle before, he didn't move back to the situation in the end. No triumph does not mean ......"
"Madame misunderstood." Xuan Ting interrupted Gan Peilin and said directly: "I want my wife to speak for me and recommend my husband to Jiang Xiang as the general to protect the country and conquer the west." ”
......" Gan Peilin can't see through Xuan Ting a little. That's a bone that's hard to gnaw, not to mention that General Ao is still wounded now, and he has just withdrawn from the battlefield, why should he be so anxious? ”
"It's all women, and I don't hide it from my wife." Xuan Ting raised her eyebrows and said, "I know that my husband has offended Jiang Xiang. also knew that Jiang Xiang would not allow him to settle down in the court. I think he is the safest only if he becomes a protector general, goes to the west, defends all the year round, and waits for an opportunity to conquer. ”
"If so, then aren't husbands and wives going to be separated for a long time?" Gan Peilin guessed that she was not happy.
"I'm going to go to the station with him." Xuan Ting looked at Gan Peilin solemnly and said, "Although I don't know why my husband cares about you so much, I said that I have confidence that he will be so good to me." Therefore, it was my decision to accompany him out of the imperial city. Madam, these days, I can see that you are a very good-hearted person. This time, if I beg you, can you help me? ”
"I understand the princess's thoughts." The corners of Gan Peilin's lips curled up slightly: "But I'm afraid I can't help you in this matter." ”
"Madame......" Xuan Ting didn't understand why she refused.
"Before you arrived, General Ao and I were calculated." Gan Peilin said truthfully: "There is no need to say the specific process. But if I intercede for him, it will only backfire. It's better to ...... You go find another prime minister's wife, and she may be able to help you. ”
"You mean...... Princess Zhen? Xuan Ting was a little surprised.
"As long as you show discord with me, she will be happy to help you." Gan Peilin looked at her calmly.
Xuan Ting thought about it, and finally nodded: "Since Madame said so, then I'll give it a try." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin smiled happily.
"I've got some gifts for you." Xuan Ting said gently: "If you can nourish your body, you can try it when you go back." ”
"Keep some of it, and send the rest to Princess Zhen." Gan Peilin glanced at the swallow.
Yanzi led Xuan Ting out.
"Liulan, throw Princess Ting's gift out of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Gan Peilin said: "Remember to let Princess Zhen's people see it." ”
"Miss, do you really want to help Princess Ting?" Liulan was a little unhappy: "She is a person who is very good at hiding her true heart. ”
"I'm not helping her, I'm helping myself." Gan Peilin had already thought about the whole thing clearly: "I almost wanted Ao Xuan's life." It suddenly occurred to me that it was not difficult for me to kill him. ”
Her words frightened Liulan's face to turn pale in an instant.
From her like this, Gan Peilin can feel that she still loves Ao Su very much.
"But right now, the most difficult thing to deal with is the queen." Gan Peilin's words changed: "When we were dealing with the war with one mind, she easily seized the power of the government. God unknowingly colluded with King Huiqing. At this time, if we don't do our best to deal with the queen, no one knows what kind of situation we will end up in next. ”
Rulan moved her lips, and finally just gritted her teeth and nodded.
"What do you want to ask?" Gan Peilin stared into her eyes.
"Miss, you never told the slave, why did you ......" Liulan bit her lower lip: "Why do you have the heart to kill the second son?" ”
