Chapter 117: It's not a grievance
Wanxiang withdrew her hand and knelt on the ground again, looked up at the emperor, and said coldly: "The emperor is willing to give the concubine justice, and the concubine is grateful."
The emperor was in a high position and had nothing to ask for, and the concubine had nothing to repay, so he had to admonish each other with death. The emperor was angry, and felt that the concubine was deliberately instigating. As long as the emperor achieves his own will, it is the best. ”
The little emperor pointed at the old man for a long time, and finally asked: "Do you know that what you just said is enough to lose your head a few times?" ”
Wanxiang knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor in a tone that was not soft at all: "The concubine is guilty." ”
The little emperor sat on the stone bench, and he was even more out of breath: "That's it, the imperial aunt is straightforward, I don't blame you." But in the future, in front of outsiders, you must no longer be so open-mouthed. Have a seat. ”
"Yes."
"Aunt Huang's injury, does it still hurt?"
"It hurts."
"What does the imperial aunt think about the poisoning?"
From beginning to end, Wanxiang's eyes never met the little emperor's gaze, and her red lips opened slightly: "The emperor has already made a ruling in his heart on this matter, right?" ”
"Imperial grandmother ......" The little emperor suddenly stopped halfway through the words, and it was really as Wanxiang said, from beginning to end, the little emperor relied on the empress dowager and the Qi clan behind her.
Whether it is dealing with Xiao Huaihui or Xiao Huaijin, it is the Xiao family who dies, but the Qi family has been obscure and has received the real power in the hands of several imperial uncles.
Thinking about it like this, the little emperor's heart was even more uncomfortable.
The person in front of him took the tea poured by the palace maid, and said to him sincerely: "Does the emperor also think that now is not a good time to turn his face with the Qi family?"
The emperor is wise, and he is not in a hurry at this time, so it is better to find a suitable person first. ”
"The imperial aunt won't feel wronged?"
"The concubine is not only the emperor's aunt, but also a minister, and it is her duty to share the emperor's worries. This is also what the prince meant. ”
Originally, the little emperor was quite happy to hear Wanxiang speak, but when he suddenly heard Wanxiang mention Xiao Huaijin, his expression didn't seem to be so good-looking: "Then who does the imperial aunt think is appropriate?" ”
"No matter who it is, they must have their intentions, and have the opportunity to touch the poison, and their hands can reach into the east courtyard of the Pingnan Palace."
"The first two, it's easy to find people in the palace. It's just a ...... that can reach into the Pingnan Palace."
The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly looked back at Wanxiang: "Gazan and her sister? Yes, at that time, the princess of the Su tribe also persuaded the Empress Dowager to give the imperial aunt poisonous wine.
No matter how you look at this matter, it can't be separated from them, and it's not a grievance. ”
"It turns out that the emperor has already made a decision in his heart, but since it is not a grievance, it is better to come up with solid evidence, and the Pingnan Royal Mansion will fully cooperate with King Xiang." Wanxiang got up and saluted: "The spring is cold, the dragon body is important, and the emperor should return to the palace early." The concubine is the first to retire. ”
Seeing that Wanxiang saluted and turned around to leave, the little emperor suddenly stopped her again: "I still want to ask, if King Pingnan really sent you to the palace at the beginning, would you be willing?" ”
"Despicable dung beetles...... This sentence will always be remembered in the concubine's heart. The concubine didn't dare to hope extravagantly, and only asked the emperor to live long live. ”
"Okay......" The little emperor looked at Wanxiang and nodded: "Okay!" You wait for me! ”
"Concubine, retire." After speaking, he saluted and turned around and walked out of the pavilion. Her tone has always been so cold, so that people have a distance that can be met but cannot be sought.
"Chang Shun! Send the imperial aunt out of the palace for me! ”
"Yes."
Chang Shun's father-in-law on the side also pinched a sweat for Wanxiang, but fortunately, there was no danger. Walking on the bluestone road, he couldn't stop saying to Wanxiang: "The princess is so reckless, she scared the slave into a cold sweat." ”
Wanxiang on the side chuckled: "Our emperor is wise, whether it is loyal or slanderous, you can hear it clearly with one ear." I don't want to be in the palace, I just hope that the emperor is safe and smooth. ”
"The princess's meaning, the slave will convey it to the emperor."
"Forget it, I was in a hurry just now. My father-in-law often accompanies the emperor around, and I hope to take care of him wholeheartedly. It seems that the gap between the emperor and the queen mother is really not born in a day or two.
Wan Wan reminded the emperor that he couldn't turn his face with the Qi clan yet. ”
"The princess thinks about the emperor in everything, she really has a heart."
Looking at the blue tiles not far away, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. This little emperor is also a pretentious lord, but he has been pressed by the empress dowager. Even if Wanxiang doesn't say it, he has always had a mustard in his heart.
This fire has already been provoked, so the more Juanxiang persuades, the more he wants to prove himself. Maybe they will do the opposite, cutting off their siblings and causing the Qi family to fall.
Even if the Empress Dowager's life is hard, she should be angry to death.
"I've seen Princess Pingnan." As soon as Wanxiang, who was in a hurry to return home, raised his eyes and saw Bai Xiuzi standing in front of the main hall, he seemed to have drunk too much at the banquet, standing here to let off the wine.
Chang Shun on the side hurriedly saluted: "Yo, the slave has seen the general." ”
"My father-in-law is not driving, what is this going to do?"
"The emperor's will, I have to send Princess Pingnan back."
"I just want to go home, so I'll give my father-in-law a ride."
"This ......" Chang Shun's father-in-law looked embarrassed, after all, Wanxiang was already a wife, and it was not good to just throw people to Bai Xiuzi.
I only heard Wanxiang say: "Father-in-law will send it here." ”
"Eh, the princess must return to the mansion well, so as not to worry the emperor."
"Yes."
The sun was gentle, and the silhouettes of the two people were dragged longer and longer. They watched Chang Shun's father-in-law leave, and Bai Xiuzi said with his hands behind his back: "Princess Pingnan, don't come unharmed." ”
"Thanks to the general, everything is fine."
"How are you doing? It's not like he was beaten half to death, and he was poisoned. ”
The two glanced at each other, and Bai Xiuzi suddenly laughed: "Don't follow your husband's example, always keep a straight face." Let's go. ”
Saying that, he raised his hand and invited Wanxiang, and the palace maids on both sides lowered their heads and walked away quickly, Wanxiang looked back at Bai Xiuzi: "Is the general good?" ”
"How so? There is no great joy or great sorrow, the days are long and boring, but I miss the time when I was stationed in Beisai. ”
"Miss Yue's ......"
"Huh! Don't mention her again, I have a headache when you talk about her, and the whole thing is a sticky bean bag. But if she had one-tenth of your ease, I would not be so sorrowful. I can also recognize the words of my parents' matchmakers. It's a pity......"
Wanxiang looked at the palace wall with her hands: "Woman, except for her father, her husband is the biggest." It is also common sense to like sticking to the general. Could it be that the general wants to see her clinging to other men? ”
"You're a sharp-toothed person, I don't reason with you. But then again, did you really go to Chengxi Palace? ”
Hearing Bai Xiuzi say this, Wanxiang stopped and looked back at Bai Xiuzi, pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you afraid that your husband will be jealous and want to chop me up when you look back? I can understand the vinegar strength of King Pingnan. ”
"The general is a smart man, and the general also met Chang Shun's father-in-law just now."
"Today, King Pingnan took advantage of the Empress Dowager's birthday to make such a fuss, and his intention is not only to return justice, right?"
Wanxiang chuckled: "Then the general thinks, what other intentions can we have?" ”
"There is no best. No matter what your plans are, I would like to remind you: accompany the king like a tiger, do not set yourself on fire. ”
After hearing this, Wanxiang hid her face and laughed, and then said: "The Pingnan Royal Mansion is already in dire straits, are you still afraid of causing this fire?" But thank you for the general's reminder, Juanxiang will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future. ”
Seeing that the carriage of the Pingnan Palace's mansion was parked in front of her, Wanxiang looked back at the palace wall that was several feet high, and sighed lightly: "Just send it here." ”
"Juan'er."
She looked back and smiled and asked, "Something?" ”
Bai Xiuzi looked at her for a long time, and smiled back: "I don't want to be an enemy of you, nor am I an enemy of your husband." You remember, no matter who you want to divide the power in your hands or which clan you want to bring down, I can turn a blind eye.
Except for the same, remember the Lord. The Bai family swore to advance and retreat with the emperor. ”
Wanxiang turned around and smiled at Bai Xiuzi: "General Xie reminds." ”
Before Wanxiang walked to the car bench, she heard a clear voice shouting in the distance: "Brother Xiu!" Why are you here? It's easy to find. ”
Wanxiang looked up at the little girl running in the distance, and said to Bai Xiuzi with a smile: "The general's sticky bean bun is here." ”
Then he turned around and stepped on the stool to get into the car.
Seeing the cart of Ping'an Palace, Miss Yue also ran over and hugged Bai Xiuzi's arm and asked, "Is that Princess Pingnan?" Beautiful, indeed. ”
It's really beautiful, and that smile is in my heart and lasts for a long time.
Bai Xiuzi watched the carriage disappear on the straight stone road and disappear at the gate of the palace. He took his hand back, and never felt that this road out of the palace was so short.
