Chapter 122: Be Careful When You Speak
Wanxiang walked slowly to Xiao Huaijin's side and looked at everything in front of her, as if she was listening to music in Qingyuefang: "If it were me and Bai Xiuzi who were inside today, the talents would not disperse so quickly, they would only gather more and more." ”
Xiao Huaijin didn't know where to take out a fruit and handed it to Wanxiang: "Sweet." ”
Wanxiang took the fruit and held it tightly in her hand, and followed Xiao Huaijin to walk back slowly: "Do you say that the saint will pull out the camp and return to the palace tonight?" ”
"No, it won't." Xiao Huaijin replied firmly. It is a matter of the face of the royal family, and no matter how angry the emperor is, he will still find a way to prevent more people from knowing.
The truth is also as Xiao Huaijin thought, calm and calm. Everyone's mouth was so tight that they didn't dare to say more than half a word in private, so that the next morning, Wanxiang mistakenly thought that nothing had happened last night.
If it weren't for Xiao Huaijin telling himself during the hunting, the nobles of the Su clan were sent back to the palace, Qi Wei was imprisoned, and Qi Hou was also so angry that he was seriously ill and sent back to the city, and Wanxiang was about to forget about it.
The horn of the hunting ground sounded for three days, and at last the camp returned to the city.
In the past three days, the little emperor has not made any transgressions to Wanxiang, and he has not even said a word. No one did anything to Xiao Huaijin.
Xiao Huaijin rode a horse and returned to Pingnan Wangfu with the skin rewarded by the emperor.
Before stepping into the gate of the mansion, Wanxiang saw the carriage with the lantern of Qi Houfu, turned her head and glanced at Xiao Huaijin, Wanxiang immediately jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the porter, and walked to the side of the car: "Aunt Lin? ”
The dark blue curtain was opened, and Wanxiang immediately saw the kind face: "You know it's me?" ”
"Since my aunt has arrived at the gate of the house, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea?"
Aunt Lin hurriedly asked the maid to help her get out of the car and saluted Wanxiang: "I'm afraid it's too presumptuous." ”
Wanxiang showed a smiling face: "Auntie, please." ”
"It's a lot of nuisance."
Without leaving the house, Aunt Lin knew that Wanxiang had killed a tiger on the hunting ground. But the person in front of him still looked so kind, and there was no murderous look on his face.
Aunt Lin wondered in her heart how such a slender woman could kill a tiger.
Wanxiang saw that Aunt Lin's eyes were on her, and she didn't need to open her mouth to guess that Qi Hou had been to the palace, and the Empress Dowager didn't give him a good face, or she didn't see the Empress Dowager at all.
Bringing people to the front hall, Xiao Huaijin and Aunt Lin nodded and went back to the east courtyard to wait for Wanxiang.
Wanxiang sat down and didn't speak, waiting for Aunt Lin to speak first.
It wasn't until the maid came over with tea that Aunt Lin spoke: "The princess is smart, she should know what I am talking about." After returning from the hunting ground, my marquis went to the palace several times to visit the empress dowager.
But when the fold was handed in, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply. ”
"Is it the Empress Dowager's head illness again?"
Aunt Lin shook her head seriously: "No matter what, the Empress Dowager will not avoid it at this time." She must have known what was going on in the hunting grounds, too.
The princess is a cheerful person, so I have something to say. During the Lantern Festival, my Ah Wei was seriously injured and then bed for two months. The ministers were admonished because of Ah Wei's matter, and it was difficult for the king of Pingnan to ride a tiger, and my marquis also turned the rudder in time, and he did not miss a little in private.
I think that the Pingnan Mansion and the Qi Hou Mansion are good friends, this time you can see if you can ......"
Friendship? As long as the Empress Dowager was there, Wanxiang didn't think that Xiao Huaijin would be friendly with the Qi clan behind the Empress Dowager.
But when Aunt Lin said this, Wanxiang couldn't reply. Turning the teacup back and forth in your hand, as if the tea was hot.
In the end, Wanxiang still put the teacup on the table: "Auntie, don't worry, I will go to ask the prince, if I have the opportunity to enter the palace to see the queen mother, I will also find out for my aunt and Qi Hou." ”
"That's the best, thank you, Princess." Saying that, Aunt Lin got up and saluted Wanxiang, and Wanxiang raised her hand to help her. Seeing a shadow behind the door, Wanxiang smiled: "The emperor only returned to the palace today, and I don't know what will happen."
I heard that Hou Ye is sick, so my aunt should go back early to take care of her, right? I'll go to the backyard and talk to the prince, it's better to be sooner rather than later, what does my aunt say? ”
Hearing Wanxiang say this, Aunt Lin was naturally happy, and her eyes wrinkled with fine lines touched by the years: "Then I'll go back first." ”
"Auntie, go slowly."
"Huh."
Wanxiang took Qi'er all the way out of the house, and when he left the house, the sun was slanting in the west, and the breeze was swaying. Aunt Lin dragged her long figure into the carriage.
The girl beside her couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Lin was originally plump and blessed. In less than a month, he lost weight like this. ”
"This is probably the sorrow that you will not understand until you become a parent." Seeing the carriage of Qi Houfu disappear at the entrance of the alley, Juan Xiang turned around and went back to the house, and Qi'er followed closely behind like a little tail: "Princess, how did you kill the tiger?" Tell me about it? ”
"You go and ask Liang Cuo to tell you."
Hearing Liang Cuo, Qi'er pursed her lips, and her face was a little bored: "I don't want it." ”
"What's wrong? Quarreled? Don't need someone to teach you archery? Liang Cuo didn't wait to return home, so he took the fox fur to make a collar for you to use for the winter. Raising his feet and stepping into the threshold, Wanxiang stretched out his hand and poked it on the corner of Qi'er's forehead: "You little conscienceless." ”
"I don't want it, I don't lack anything."
"That's what people want!"
As she was talking, she remembered the figure at the back door of the front hall just now, so she stopped. Before the riding and shooting clothes on his body were changed, people came to the door one by one.
Qi'er didn't know why Wanxiang suddenly stopped: "Princess? ”
Ayaka took a deep breath: "Come out." ”
Hearing the footsteps and turning around, she saw Gazan, who also hadn't had time to change her clothes, and Wanxiang couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that the princess of the Su clan likes to eavesdrop on people's conversations. ”
Up to now, Gazan has kept himself calm. Even Wanxiang said: "I can endure it until now, I really underestimate you." ”
Gazan hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Aunt Lin of Qihou Mansion has always been the princess, you are a straw, but you don't know that his son is the one you killed!" ”
"Shh Wanxiang put her index finger between her lips and shook her head, with a smile hidden in her eyes: "You have to be careful when you speak, slandering the imperial family is a serious crime, and you have to pull out your tongue."
If you have to say that I did it, why don't we call the prince into the palace to ask for his life, and ask the emperor to investigate the grievances for the princess? Well? ”
"You ......"
"You don't dare. You are afraid that people will know that you are the one who put your sister in a sack and sent it to Qi Wei's bed. In order to protect you, your sister temporarily changed her story and took all the blame on herself.
Guess what, do I have any evidence to get out with you? ”
Akika stepped on her red deerskin boots and walked forward, smiling at Gazan, whose unusual aura forced Gazan to step back step by step, accidentally stepping on the mossy pebbles on the side, and falling to the ground.
The embarrassed Gazan made Ayaka feel even more funny, and squatted down and pinched her chin: "Scared? Scared? Why weren't you scared when you poisoned me?
Why wasn't your sister scared when she belittled me in front of the Empress Dowager? When I found out about my affairs in Beixun, and it was rumored everywhere that I was a lowly person, everyone in the market said that I was 'a good man', why didn't you see you afraid?
Either you go to the emperor to avenge your grievances, or wait for a letter from your father Khan, and then execute your sister. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky changed suddenly, and clouds rolled in. Wanxiang got up and looked down at the people on the ground: "Wipe your chin well, I'm a cheap person, and I'm very dirty." ”
Seeing that Juanxiang turned to leave, Gazan couldn't return to his senses for a long time. Sitting on the ground and hugging her knees, she didn't react until the rain hit Gazan's face mercilessly, and she began to regret poisoning the incense.
She knew her father Khan, and once the news of her sister's adultery and rebellion reached the ears of her father Khan, he would definitely abandon her son to protect her handsome.
She also knows that Wanxiang is resolute in her work, and asking for it is in vain. The only thing I can do now is to find a way to protect myself.
Originally, there were still working maids on the side, but this rain made everyone run away, and no one paid attention to Gazan, who was sitting on the ground with his knees in his arms.
Only his personal maid ran over from the mist and rain with an umbrella: "Madam, why are you sitting on the ground?!" Let's hurry back, what if we get sick? ”
Gazan was helped up, and he couldn't tell whether his tears were rain or tears, and he didn't know how he got back to the South Courtyard. Since he was born, Gazan has never felt such coldness.
