Chapter 364: Hidden Vendetta
The next day, Zhen got up early to freshen up and get dressed, and asked Suo Yang to go to Jiang Yu's room to pack some clothes.
When Suoyang rushed away, Yanzi had already ordered someone to prepare it properly and was about to send it to Princess Zhen.
"You're diligent, you've packed up so early." Suo Yang muttered a little dissatisfied.
"What's so strange about that." Yanzi glanced at her and frowned: "We have served our master for a long time, so we are naturally familiar with the road. Another thing you may not know is that the master does not like outsiders to enter his yard casually. That's it this time, don't be so reckless next time. ”
"You ......" Suo Yang was very unconvinced, and was reprimanded by her like this. But after all, if you want to accompany Princess Zhen into the palace, you can't delay the time. Thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and took the clothes from her handmaiden's hand, turned and left.
Only then did Yanzi say to the servant on the side: "Inform Heiyan, watch carefully." Both inside and outside the palace must be deaf and clear-sighted, and pass on the news at any time. ”
"Yes." The servant retreated.
The swallow turned around and returned to Gan Peilin's yard.
At this time, Gan Peilin had already arranged the affairs of the house. "Chen Rui, then I'll leave it to you here."
"Miss, don't worry." Chen Rui arched his hand.
"Madame is all settled?" The swallow hurried in.
Gan Peilin smiled slightly: "It's not completely settled, there is still someone who has to meet and talk." ”
"The slave maid went and invited her." Swallow knew that she said that it was all Ao Li.
"No, Liulan has already gone to invite." Gan Peilin looked in the direction of the door, and as soon as the words fell, he saw the two figures.
The swallow stepped aside and watched Ao Li walk in quickly.
"Madame sent the concubine over early in the morning, what's the matter?" Ao Li has also been restless these days. Knowing that Gan Peilin had been to Princess Zhen's courtyard yesterday, he guessed that something would happen this morning. Before dawn, she was already familiar with dressing up, waiting for Gan Peilin to find her.
Unexpectedly, it really came.
"Princess Zhen is going to enter the palace and send some change of clothes to her husband." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I have to stay in the house to take care of it, so that there will be no mistakes." ”
Ao Li always felt that there was something else to mean when he said this.
"Madame, if you have anything, just tell me." Ao Li looked at Gan Peilin solemnly.
"I want everyone in the house to think I'm in the house, but I have to get out." Gan Peilin looked at Ao Li and said slowly: "Not only do you want to leave the palace, but you also have to hide in the entourage of Princess Zhen who entered the palace and blend into the palace." ”
Ao Li moved her lips, but she still couldn't hold back: "Madam, you and I both know that it is very risky for you to enter the palace at this time." Although the imperial court is tired of dealing with the war outside, it must be at ease outside, and the emperor's vigilance against our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will not be relaxed for a moment. In case you are found out about getting into the palace, and the emperor pushes the boat to attack you, won't it cause trouble? Madame, you better think twice. ”
"If I want to enter the palace, there is naturally a reason to enter the palace." Gan Peilin looked at her solemnly: "I don't worry about handing over a lot of things to others, so I have to solve them myself." ”
"That'...... The concubine understood. Ao Li nodded again and again: "The affairs of the house, Madame can rest assured." ”
"Swallow." Gan Peilin called.
The swallow nodded and summoned a servant to come over.
This servant is slender and slender, and she looks a little similar to Gan Peilin from the side.
"During this time, she was me. She will stay in this courtyard for me and deal with unexpected things. Gan Peilin looked at Ao Li and said, "You have to cooperate with her well, perform this play well, and ensure the safety of the Dadu Governor's Mansion." ”
"Yes." Ao Li nodded.
In fact, Gan Peilin knows the things in the court, and Ao Li knows better.
The Ao family was just caught up in the turmoil of the war, and they were counting on their own family to get ahead, how could they not think about these things with confidence.
So Gan Peilin wanted to take the postgraduate examination for Ao Li to see how much she could do for Jiang Yu and the Ao family.
"Okay, I'm relieved to have you." Gan Peilin hooked her lips slightly: "I'm going to prepare to leave the house, you have to deal with it carefully." ”
"Yes." Ao Li took a deep breath and said, "Madame also has to take care of herself, your safety, right...... The Governor was most concerned about things. ”
With that, she saluted lightly, turned and walked out.
When the accompanying Shisu helped her, her hands were trembling.
Ao Li glanced at Shisu in surprise, and asked "What are you panicking about?" ”
Shisu Qiang suppressed his excitement and did not speak. She endured to return to her place before she closed the door and reminded, "Miss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." As long as the lady leaves the house and doesn't come back, then let's ......"
"Shut up!" Ao Li glared at her, and her tone was very bad. "When is it, you still have the heart to say this. Do you know that the emperor's head is about to cut down on the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. If you still do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself at this time, the consequence is that you have to take your own life. ”
Shisu was frightened by her fierce expression and quickly knelt down. "Miss, slave ......"
After taking a deep breath, Ao Li retracted her expression and helped her up. "Shisu, I know you're thinking about me. But looking at it, that princess Zhen is by no means easy to get along with. Even if there is no lady, she will not let me get close to my husband. And if it weren't for the lady to contend with her, there would have been no place for us in this mansion. And you and I have today, thanks to Mrs. Lift. ”
Zi Su looked at Ao Li a little ignorantly, stunned, and dared to ask: "Miss, don't you hate her?" How can you say this now? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for her, how could you have gone from being a dignified wife to a concubine? Don't you hate? ”
"Silly girl." Ao Li knocked on Shisu's head: "Can't you really see it?" It was my father who forced the Governor to marry me, and even my father coerced him to marry me. Jiang Yu, what kind of person is he, how can he swallow this breath. He just deliberately wanted to humiliate his father and the Ao family, and I, from beginning to end, was just a chess piece that he hated. ”
"Miss, that's not the case." Zi Su shook his head again and again: "Have you forgotten that the Metropolitan Governor used to be very good to you." For your sake, he spent a lot of money and bought the whole street of gold, silver, pearls and jade as a dowry, he ......"
"The last thing he lacks is silver." Ao Li sneered and said slowly: "He hired me to marry me, which is no different from buying a slave and maid with silver in the market." It's nothing more than spending more, spending less. Otherwise, after being married for so long, why has he never come to me? Shiso, I don't want to kid myself. I just want to stay in this Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and live a little decent. And now this dignity of you and me is given by Mrs. Do you understand? ”
Shiso didn't know what else to say, and tears flowed silently.
"Alright, cheer up. Keep an eye on the affairs of the house for Madame. It's not all for her, it's for ourselves. Ao Li raised his eyebrows and said: "Especially pay attention to these ladies in the house, watch carefully, don't let them spread the news out of the house, or suspect anything." ”
"The slave understands." Shisu wiped away her tears, turned around and withdrew, and then covered her face and cried again.
Ao Li knew that she felt sorry for herself, and when the door closed, her eyes were red.
In this world, the only person who really feels sorry for himself is probably only Shisu......
Princess Zhen entered the palace with the style of a princess.
It was the carriage that was given to him.
There were dozens of people accompanying him, and there were many people along the way, highlighting the royal style.
But these don't matter, Gan Peilin can easily mix in them.
Of course, the swallow had to follow closely to protect, but fortunately, the two of them dressed up as maids, but they didn't attract the attention of others.
When Zhen entered the palace, the courtiers were discussing politics in the Golden Palace. Naturally, Xuanqi would not see her.
She went directly to Changning Palace to greet the queen.
The entourage was arranged to rest in the ear room outside the Changning Palace.
It was at this time that Yanzi took advantage of people's inattention and quietly left with Gan Peilin.
Wen Xinlan didn't have the heart to see Zhen at all, and she knew what she was going to say. Now that the situation between the two countries is tense and changing rapidly, she doesn't want to entertain the princess too much at this time, so she found an excuse and asked Xuan Ting, who came to ask for peace, to accompany Zhen and visit the prince in the palace of the concubine, but in fact, to see Xue Baoyun.
Xuan Ting couldn't bear the loneliness, and it was good to have someone to accompany her, so she left with Zhen.
"Queen Mother, did you say that Princess Zhen came at this time just to give the Governor of the Metropolitan a happy dress?" Bao Que was suspicious: "Could she have deliberately come to the palace to inquire about the news, and then let Xizuo send him back to Chenguo?" ”
"It's not impossible." Wen Xinlan showed disgust. "After all, the daughter of the royal family, when she is noble, is a golden branch and jade leaf, but when it comes in handy, it is a chess piece that can be cut and discarded. Men often abandon ...... for the sake of power."
As soon as she was halfway through her words, Wen Xinlan smelled a familiar fragrance, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Bao Que saw that her face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but worry: "Is there something uncomfortable?" The slave and maid went to pass the imperial doctor. ”
"Not necessarily." Wen Xinlan waved her hand: "I just saw Princess Zhen, and I was a little unhappy." You go out first. I'll call you if there's something. ”
Bao Que nodded: "The slave and maid are retired." ”
Wen Xinlan was afraid that something would go wrong, so she hurriedly said, "Remember, I didn't call, and I wasn't allowed to come in." Also, Hongu is unwell and doesn't see anyone anymore today. ”
"The slave understands." Although Bao Que felt strange, he didn't dare to ask more, and retreated neatly.
Hearing that there was no movement outside the door, Wen Xinlan said, "Since you are here, you don't have to hide." ”
Her words fell, and the swallow flew down from the beam with Gan Peilin.
"The queen's nose is really sensitive." Gan Peilin smiled warmly: "The concubine is sorry for the queen." ”
"How did you dress up like this to enter the palace?" Wen Xinlan couldn't help frowning: "You also deliberately used this spice to attract my attention, Gan Peilin, what do you want to do?" ”
