Chapter 270: Princess Ting
Gan Peilin is not so despicable as to poison a powerless woman for the sake of his own life.
What's more, this woman is still her own sister.
Even if Gan Wanyun did a lot of wrong things in order to get on top. But she didn't have anything to be sorry for herself after all. wants to use her life in exchange for a short period of peace, and Gan Peilin will also look down on herself.
"The concubine just said that the queen mother can cover the sky with one hand in this harem. It's not easy to get the life of a concubine. What's more, today, Niangniang said what should be said and what shouldn't be said. The concubine knows too much, and I'm afraid that her life won't last long. Gan Peilin smiled: "In this case, then the mother might as well give the concubine a good time." ”
Wen Xinlan was a little puzzled: "Do you want to die for her?" Do you need to be so stupid? ”
The gold tassels on Gan Peilin's sideburns are in the shape of small leaves. Each leaf is carved with delicate lines. So much so that as long as she moves slightly, those lines will shine in the sun.
A little dazzling, Wen Xinlan frowned and moved away from her a little.
"The queen didn't plan to let me go from the beginning, did she?" Gan Peilin took a step closer to her. "If I follow your instructions, pour this soul-breaking wine into Yun Concubine. I will soon be restrained by the guards and charged with murdering a concubine. Or you don't want me to die right away, and use this as a lever to blackmail me into doing things for you. Mother, smart people sometimes inevitably come up with some tricky methods, but when your opponent is as smart as you, it is easy to see through and lose meaning. ”
"yes." Wen Xinlan originally really thought like she said. But when she was exposed by Gan Peilin, her mind changed.
If such a wise woman can never be used for herself, why should she be allowed to live?
"Don't waste your time, Madame Duke." Wen Xinlan winked.
Bao Que sent the poisoned wine to Gan Peilin.
"Is the queen really so impatient to want the life of a concubine?" Gan Peilin did not have the fear of dying of life and death, on the contrary, she felt that there would be nothing wrong today.
The sun outside was so soft, she still wanted to walk in the warm sunshine.
"Ugh." Wen Xinlan sighed: "This palace didn't expect that the fate with you would be just that." You can rest assured, this palace will give the emperor the title of a first-class lady, and it is not too much of a loss for you to leave like this. ”
Gan Peilin didn't say a word, and picked up the soul-breaking wine.
She curled the corners of her lower lip slightly, slowly bringing the cup closer to her lips.
At this moment, Wen Xinlan held her breath, and her heartbeat was about to stop. She didn't forget Xu Luyun's kindness, but she didn't want anyone to threaten the throne at all.
Seeing that Gan Peilin raised her chin, the soul-breaking wine in the wine glass may have touched her lips.
She wanted to stop it, but before she could stretch out her hand, the door was knocked open with a bang.
"Don't drink, don't drink."
A girl in a purple costume suddenly broke in, recklessly rushed towards Gan Peilin, snatched the wine glass and threw it on the ground.
Her movements were too violent, and the wine in the wine glass spilled out, wetting Gan Peilin's lips and face.
"Don't move, let me come." She took out a silk from her waist and quickly wiped it for Gan Peilin. "No, let's hurry up and get a basin of clean water, we must rinse it off. Someone, go and pass on the imperial doctor. ”
Seeing her chattering nervously, Wen Xinlan couldn't help but be stunned. When he came back to his senses, there was already a servant who had already brought water in to clean Gan Peilin.
"Xuan Ting, what are you doing!" Wen Xinlan glared at her angrily: "Who allowed you to trespass into the Yun Concubine Palace?" Who asked you to eavesdrop on the palace talking to the court wife? Why don't you know any rules, kid? ”
"Is the imperial sister-in-law blaming me for ruining your good deeds?" Xuan Ting's face was stiff, and her expression was quite serious. "Everyone knows that the emperor's brother values the most is the Metropolitan Governor and the Great Sima, and you rashly poisoned their most important person, obviously with the emperor's brother. How can I watch you do something wrong and not stop it. If the imperial sister-in-law wants to blame, it is better to go to the Golden Palace and ask the emperor to uphold justice. Let's see if it's your fault or if I don't understand the rules. ”
"You ......" Wen Xinlan glared at Bao Que. Obviously, she blamed her for not being on guard and letting Xuan Ting break in.
Bao Que was very aggrieved. From Yun Concubine's children, all the guards in this palace have changed their own people. She really couldn't figure out how Princess Ting came in.
"Are you alright?" Xuan Ting looked at Gan Peilin, who had a calm face, and was a little surprised in her heart. This woman, even if she looks beautiful, she can still be so surprised between life and death. The poisoned wine was sent to her lips, and she didn't plead or suffer. No wonder even the imperial sister-in-law is so eager to attack her.
"Thank you, Princess Ting, the concubine is fine." Gan Peilin hooked his lips slightly.
She looked at herself and smiled, it was so fresh and sweet. Xuan Ting was stunned when she looked at it.
"Xuan Ting, you'd better not talk about today's events, otherwise you'll ......" Wen Xinlan's warning eyes looked a little sharp.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to tell you good news. The emperor's elder brother has agreed to his father's request to prepare for me to marry General Ao. It's a happy event, and I don't want to get into bad luck, let alone blood. So as long as the imperial sister-in-law doesn't have such thoughts to embarrass Mrs. Dudu, Xuan Ting doesn't want to do much. ”
Wen Xinlan was a little confused. "The emperor gave you and General Ao a marriage? Which Ao general? ”
"Of course, it's Ao Su who saved me." Xuan Ting raised her chin slightly, but the afterglow of her eyes crossed Gan Peilin's face.
Gan Peilin already knew about this on the Golden Palace. Naturally, it was not surprising at this time.
"Hmph, that's really going to congratulate you." Wen Xinlan glanced at Gan Wanyun, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, and got up and walked out.
"Congratulations to the Queen." Xuan Ting saluted the queen, her face was a little strange.
Gan Peilin naturally followed suit, but he didn't have any thoughts. She took Jiang Yu's medicine, and it was not invasive. Not to mention what kind of soul breaking wine it is, even if it is poisoned again, it may not be dead.
So she didn't think it would be in the hands of the queen today. On the contrary, as long as she drinks that glass of wine, the queen will take the opportunity to go to the emperor, and when the time comes, as long as she appears in front of the emperor and courtiers, there will be a way to make the queen unlucky.
In the final analysis, Xuan Ting was there to save her, but in fact she saved the queen.
"Are you really okay?" Xuan Ting was still worried: "I just spilled poisoned wine." If you don't go to see the imperial doctor, you can always feel at ease. ”
"I'm fine. Princess Ting doesn't have to worry. Gan Peilin smiled at her gently: "Thank you princess for coming to the rescue." ”
"I saved you, but not for you." Xuan Ting also confessed. "I heard that Ao Su has always liked you. This time he was in prison, and he also came back to prevent you from getting married, so he left his post without permission and attacked the happy team, all because he couldn't let you go. ”
"And you still save me?" Gan Peilin didn't quite understand her thoughts.
"Don't they all say that they love the house and the black?" Xuan Ting frowned slightly: "If he knew that I would be in the palace, and you had an accident." He's going to blame me for not being able to save me. If I can do it, I will help him. ”
There is such a kind girl in the royal family, Gan Peilin feels incredible.
But from Xuan Ting's bright eyes, she really didn't see a trace of falsehood. It may be that she habitually looks at people with hostility, so she feels that there is something wrong with her motives.
Gan Peilin lowered his head and smiled slightly: "The princess's mind, the concubine is ashamed of herself." ”
"I just eavesdropped outside the door and heard your conversation with the imperial sister-in-law." Xuan Tingrao sighed: "I also thought about not coming in, but ...... The thought that Ao Su would be heartbroken by this, and even do something even crazier than the impact on the Xi team, was unbearable. You are alive and appear in front of him, but he can only watch, and one day he will die. It's better than that you are no more, he can lock you in the bottom of his heart and miss you endlessly. I'm a living person, and I have faith to compete with you. But I can't fight with a thought that only exists in the bottom of my heart. Out of selfishness, I hope you're doing well. ”
Speaking of this, Xuan Ting raised her chin slightly proudly: "Besides, I saved you today, you don't have any friendship with me, and you should always remember that I am kind to you." I think that for this reason, I will not fight with me for my husband. You're not that kind of person. ”
"Everything is in Princess Ting's heart." Gan Peilin also looked at her with a smile: "The concubine will naturally remember your goodness, and she will not fight with you." ”
"That's right." Xuan Ting smiled, and her face became slightly serious again: "But you offended the queen mother, even if you can avoid it this time, you have to be cautious after all." You know, there are many ways for the queen to be a mother. ”
"Yes!" Gan Peilin just said briefly.
"Naturally." Xuan Ting lowered her voice slightly, and said in a cautious tone: "Even the emperor's brother sometimes has to ask her to help take care of some things. I don't know exactly what it is. But I heard my father say that as long as the queen can grasp this ability, whether she has children or not, her status will not change. ”
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded heavily.
"That's right." Xuan Ting looked at Concubine Yun who was unconscious on the bed, and couldn't help worrying: "When will Concubine Yun wake up?" A few days ago, I entered the palace and came to visit her. She also brought me pastries made by the maids next to her. By the way, why don't you see Luanfu? ”
The palace maid on the side walked over cautiously and arched her hand: "If Princess Hui Ting is concerned, the queen mother blames Luan Su for protecting the lord and sends her to work as a coolie in the dark palace." ”
"Oh." Xuan Ting didn't go any further.
She thought that even if she didn't say it, Gan Peilin could understand.
"My husband is still waiting for me, so he won't stay long." Gan Peilin saluted Xuan Ting: "Dare to be free, concubine, go to visit Princess Ting again, thank you for saving your life." ”
"Okay." Xuan Ting nodded: "I also have a lot of things to talk to my wife, and I always feel that we hit it off at first sight." ”
Xuan Ting wanted to know why Ao Su liked Gan Peilin so much. Perhaps only by getting close to her can the answer be found.
