Chapter 90: Tea and Letters
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xinming's next sentence made Fu Wang Luo Yuze frown.
Li Xinming said: "That day, the subordinates went to King Jing's Mansion on the orders of the prince, but when the subordinates arrived, there were already two groups in King Jing's Mansion, and people in night clothes were fighting together, and the subordinates couldn't find out which force it was. ”
King Fu's people were the third wave of black-clothed people on the night of Bai Youlan's assassination, and he didn't want Bai Youlan, such an interesting and likely useful woman, to die so quickly, so he sent someone to help, but he was unexpectedly a step too late, and he didn't need his people to make a move.
Li Xinming saw that King Fu was silent, and said cautiously: "Is it King Jing's person?" ”
"Stupid! Do Luo Mingxuan's people still need to wear night clothes? ”
King Fu reprimanded Li Xinming, but then his face suddenly bloomed with that lazy smile again, and he didn't look at Li Xinming, but looked out the window, in the deep night.
As if talking to himself, as if he was talking to someone, King Fu said, "Luo Mingxuan, how long do you have to endure it?" ”
Early in the morning, Bai Youlan got up and glanced at the two letters placed side by side on the table, gently hooked the corners of her lips, and smiled deep and cold.
Xiangdie saw Bai Youlan's gaze lingering on the letter for a long time, only when she missed Luo Mingxuan, she couldn't help asking, "Princess, do you want to send the letter you wrote to the prince?" ”
Bai Youlan turned to look at Xiangdie, her eyes bloomed with light, as pure as the most crystal clear, but it seemed to be full of deep meaning, and her lips opened lightly: "Of course I want to send it." But instead of drizzling their methods, they use the most ordinary way of transmitting. ”
Although Xiangdie was puzzled, she still went out with the letter.
Before noon, a holy decree came from the palace, and Xuan Bai Youlan immediately entered the palace.
Bai Youlan seemed to have expected this trip for a long time, and took Xiangdie into the palace with an indifferent face, but before leaving, she asked Xiangdie to bring the letter written back by Luo Mingxuan and brought back by Mo Feng.
In the study, the emperor and Concubine Rou, King Fu, and King Rong are all there, and next to the emperor and Concubine Rou, there is also a beauty in palace costumes.
After Bai Youlan saw the salute one by one, she stood aside and stopped talking, as if waiting for the emperor to say something.
Concubine Rou said softly: "Youlan, your father has been thinking about King Jing, I know a few days ago that you have sent someone to visit, I wonder if there is a letter to bring back?" ”
Concubine Rou's voice was soft, and her gaze swept over Bai Youlan's body. For some reason, Bai Youlan seemed to see worry and a slight hint in her gaze, as if hinting that she should not take out the letter!
Bai Youlan lowered her gaze, thinking if it was her own delusion, but whether it was an illusion or intuition, it was destined that the letter would become the protagonist today.
"Mo Feng did bring back a letter, I thought that the emperor must be worried about the prince, so I also brought the letter today, and asked the emperor and Concubine Rou to take a look."
Concubine Rou smiled softly: "Look at what you kid said, Zuo is just a piece of love for your father, I just want to ask King Jing about his current situation, what's the use......"
"Since you brought it, let's show it to the emperor."
Before Concubine Rou's words were finished, Concubine Ling on the side suddenly cut off her words and urged Bai Youlan to hand over the letter, but the emperor did not feel the slightest displeasure, as if he had not heard the conversation between them at all.
However, after reading Luo Mingxuan's letter, the emperor's eyes shot a majestic light, and he slapped the letter on the table with a "bang"!
Almost all of them were taken aback by not being mentally prepared, except for Bai Youlan.
Concubine Rou didn't know what was going on, she glanced at the emperor's expression, picked it up slowly and gently, brought the teacup on the table to the emperor, and said: "No matter what happens, you can take your time, please take care of the dragon's body, don't get angry." ”
The stagnant atmosphere was also eased a little with Concubine Rou's words.
"Sister Roufei's words are not right, some things can't be done slowly. The Emperor ......"
Concubine Ling turned to the emperor and said, "It just so happens that the two princes are also there, and the concubine thinks that Bai Youlan should be allowed to tell her what is going on." ”
"I don't know what Concubine Lingniang wants me to say? It's just an ordinary letter from the prince. ”
Bai Youlan smiled at the corner of her lips, but her eyes looked at this spirit concubine with some coldness.
When she was in the palace before, this spirit concubine was lukewarm to her, and she couldn't find fault with her, but she wasn't enthusiastic, but today it seems that every word is aimed at her.
"Then should you explain why this letter expresses dissatisfaction with the emperor?"
"Concubine Lingniang is really good eyesight, I haven't seen anything in this letter for a few days, and Concubine Lingniang can know it before she reads it."
Concubine Ling's face changed slightly, knowing that she was in a hurry, she eased her tone and said, "It's just that seeing that the emperor is so angry, it's just a guess." ”
Bai Youlan gave her a decent smile, but she didn't say anything to her anymore, just looked at the emperor who was sitting at the top.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what is wrong with the prince's letter, which makes the emperor so angry, it is really Youlan's unfilial piety."
The emperor was silent, just swept the letter to the ground with a wave of his hand, the letter was unfolded, Bai Youlan just glanced at it, and he already saw that the content of the letter had changed greatly, and vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction and resentment that the emperor sent him to the battle.
It's just that......
Bai Youlan looked at the letter paper that fell straight at her feet, and the corners of her lips turned up slightly, just a little trick can't do it?
Before and the housekeeper should be able to please her here, but the queen and King Duan have been extremely unlucky these days, how can the queen give up?
Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole, which is why Bai Youlan put the letter on the table like that, and did not put it away.
At this time, she just glanced at the letter, and Bai Youlan already knew what they were doing.
At that moment, Bai Youlan didn't pick up the letter, but her eyes swept over everyone indifferently without being anxious or angry, and finally stopped at the body of King Fu Luo Yuze, and said: "And please take a look at Brother King Fu to see if this is the word of the prince of my family." ”
King Duan didn't expect her to look at him, but he didn't hesitate, took the letter from the hand of the waiter who picked up the letter, read it carefully, frowned slightly, and said, "This is indeed the fifth brother's words, but is there any misunderstanding?" Although the fifth brother is a little indifferent, it is absolutely impossible for him to be disrespectful to his father. ”
"Didn't King Fu also confirm that this was King Jing's word, what else could there be any misunderstanding? It's written clearly in black and white. ”
Concubine Ling's words are reasonable, but it seems to be talking about the blessed king, but in fact, she is saying it to the emperor.
King Rong hasn't seen the letter so far, his eyes have a trace of doubt, he stepped forward and said: "Father, Qianmo and the Five Princes are not very close, but I have always heard that the calligraphy of the Five Princes is outstanding, is it that the words of the Five Princes have flowed outside, and someone has imitated the font of the Five Princes?" ”
"What King Rong said may not be nothing, but the emperor can't distinguish King Jing's words? Besides, this is a letter brought back by King Jing's guards......"
Hearing this, King Fu glanced at the emperor quickly, his eyes swept over the face of the concubine, and shook his head almost invisibly at her, the concubine was slightly stunned, and obviously swallowed the rest of the words back and did not continue to speak.
Bai Youlan, who had been secretly looking at King Fu for a long time, keenly captured the interaction between King Fu and Concubine Ling, and couldn't help but draw a question mark in her heart, could it be that this Concubine Lingfei was not from the queen's side, but supported King Fu?
"Bai Youlan, what do you have to say?"
The emperor, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked Bai Youlan like this, and the previous anger had faded a little for some reason, but the fierceness in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest.
Bai Youlan slowly raised her head and said, "Youlan has also seen the prince's words before, which are similar to the font in this letter. However, Youlan was a little uncertain, and asked the emperor to allow Youlan to read the letter again. ”
As she spoke, Bai Youlan saw that the emperor nodded, and immediately stepped forward unhurriedly, wanting to get a letter from the chamberlain standing next to the emperor.
"Oops!"
Just when Bai Youlan went to get the letter, for some reason, the letter slipped in her hand, and the letter fell on the table in front of the emperor, Bai Youlan let out a slight low cry, eager to pick up the letter, but unexpectedly directly on the table, the cup of tea that Concubine Rou brought to the emperor before was overturned, and all the tea with the curling fragrance was splashed on the letter impartially!
Seeing this, Concubine Ling suddenly changed color and blurted out: "Bai Youlan, you deliberately want to destroy this letter!" Your Majesty, you can't let her be so presumptuous. ”
The emperor watched him take a sip and put it on the table casually, and at this time, the teacup that was knocked over by Bai Youlan turned his face again.
But Concubine Rou glanced at the tea-drenched desktop with some surprise, walked over to pull Bai Youlan away, and said, "Why are you so careless?" Fortunately, the tea is not hot. ”
"The Mother ......"
Rong Wang Luo Qianmo seemed to want to stop Concubine Rou from pulling Bai Youlan, but as soon as he said two words, his eyes swept over the letter, and he immediately stared straight at the letter, and stopped with some surprise and doubt.
The emperor did not look down to check the situation of the letter, he was sure that he was not mistaken, those words were indeed from Xuan'er's hand, thinking that Luo Mingxuan, whom he had always loved, would be so dissatisfied with him, his anger couldn't help but rise.
At this time, what if Bai Youlan destroys the letter?
It's just that Bai Youlan dared to be blatant, and he was very dissatisfied with playing tricks in front of him, and the emperor couldn't help but glare at Bai Youlan.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Bai Youlan's face was indifferent, and there was still a trace of confidence and proud smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes couldn't help flashing slightly.
At this time, the emperor had already noticed King Rong's surprised expression, and when he was puzzled, he heard King Fu suddenly call out: "Father, this letter is strange. ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked down at the imaginary letter that should have been miserable, and he was stunned at first glance.
