Chapter 9: The Emperor's Secret Room
Ying Xi held back a smile, waved his hand to order the maid to go down, sat beside the expressionless Emperor Xuanwu, and said softly: "The first day will be more serious, and after tonight, there will be no big problem." ”
Emperor Xuanwu didn't move, nor did he look at Yingxi, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, I can bear it." ”
For some reason, when he saw this reckless Emperor Xuanwu, Yingxi couldn't wait to go up and pull his face. Taking two deep breaths, Yingxi changed his tone of business and said: "He Zhen found a clue, the matter of the edict was passed on by King Ping, I don't know where he got the rubbing of the jade seal, to prove that there is indeed an edict." ”
Emperor Xuanwu felt as if he had been affected by this hateful state, and he actually lost his temper like a woman. His self-esteem made him unable to explain, so he could only silently take the rice paper handed over by Yingxi and examine it carefully.
"The ink is obviously wrong, and this rubbing is also less detailed, so don't bother with it. King Ping and the Wang family have always had a close relationship, and when the concubine was still there, the Wang family did a lot of things for their mother and son. ”
Emperor Xuanwu was in a very low mood when he said this, Yingxi saw it, and said softly: "Do you want to talk?" ”
Emperor Xuanwu did not refuse, he said: "At that time, the eldest brother was still there, and he was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was pinned on by his father and mother. I am the youngest son, I don't need to participate in the government, I just need to help the eldest brother. Later......"
Emperor Xuanwu didn't want to say it, but Yingxi also knew.
His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest son of the eldest son, was perfect, he was the white moonlight in everyone's hearts, the model of the prince, and could have led the Daqi Dynasty to the road of Zhongxing, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died suddenly, and everyone inside and outside the court was saddened, and even Yingxi shed tears for His Royal Highness the Prince.
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were split, and his expression was sad: "The eldest brother didn't die of illness, he was killed by the people of the Wang family!" ”
Although Yingxi had already guessed, he was still a little surprised when he really asked Emperor Xuanwu to say it.
Those people are too bold!
Emperor Xuanwu choked up a little and said: "The eldest brother was already married, the crown princess is the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, Mrs. Zhang, dignified and beautiful, the two of them are harmonious, and they can be regarded as happy, who knows what poisonous tricks the Wang family used, so that the princess was heavily poisoned, and it was passed on to the eldest brother!" Since the crown princess knew that she was infected with poison, she no longer saw the prince, and later learned that the prince was still dying of poison, and she couldn't survive and died. ”
Yingxi sighed, this princess is afraid that she will feel guilty in her heart until she dies, a comprehensive male god-like character, because of herself, how uncomfortable she should be in her heart if she died young.
Emperor Xuanwu continued: "Later, the person who poisoned was caught, and that person was a madman, and he actually said that as long as the prince and the princess were not separated, the two would not die, and it was the prince and his wife who did not have the courage to sacrifice for each other." His father was so angry at that time that he directly scraped him alive. The man struggled for three days before he died, which was really happy. The tone was eerie and terrifying.
"But no matter what, the eldest brother can't come back. It was at that time that the father decided to dispose of the concubine and put her under house arrest and then cold the palace. Even so, the queen mother still resented her father, and the two did not reconcile until their deaths. ”
Yingxi thought to herself, I won't get along if I want me, I don't care if you sleep with other women, but you know that this woman is a hidden danger, you still want to sleep with her, and give her so much power, it's just asking for trouble.
Emperor Xuanwu said a lot, and when he saw that Yingxi didn't make a sound at all, he was a little annoyed, and asked, "Have you listened carefully?" ”
Emperor Yingxi looked back: "Of course I listened carefully, but Your Majesty, the royal matter, you can comment, I am not qualified to point fingers!" ”
Of course Emperor Xuanwu knew, but knowing it didn't prevent him from getting angry.
He can be regarded as a broken jar, anyway, there is no way to control his emotions now, so it doesn't hurt to just be willful.
He turned his head and exuded low pressure, and Yingxi seemed to see Emperor Xuanwu's head written on the door of the words Come and coax me.
Yingxi: "......" illusion!
Forget it, she said that she would protect him during this time, and she couldn't break her word, besides, she also understood that this period was indeed special.
She got up and took a soup woman, stuffed it into Emperor Xuanwu's arms, and said, "It will be more comfortable to hold it." ”
Emperor Xuanwu covered it silently, lowered his eyes and still didn't speak.
Ying Xi thought for a while and said: "King Ping and the Jinyang Wang clan are big troubles after all, and Jiuyuan, now it is considered an internal and external difficulty, what can Your Majesty do?" ”
Emperor Xuanwu moved his legs, moved to the side, and said in a dumb voice: "I remember that Dong Fang said that his mother was the sister of Wang Guifei?" Is there any news? ”
Yingxi shook his head: "I walked without a trace, I only know that I did go to the north, but whose territory I went to is not clear." ”
Emperor Xuanwu pouted: "It's too late for her to love King Ping, how can she take the initiative to discredit King Ping?" Most of them went to Wang's house. Since they are still tied to the same line, let's just call my fifth brother back, anyway, it's approaching the end of the year, and it's the New Year. ”
Yingxi's eyes lit up, this is a good way, no matter what the conspiracy is, it is always necessary to put the benefits on King Ping, and recall King Ping back to the capital, the rest will definitely move, and there will be flaws if you move.
She still doesn't adapt to the emperor's way of thinking about danger in order to the world.
She was about to say something when she heard Emperor Xuanwu ask, "Do you hate me very much?" ”
Ying Xi immediately replied, "No, no, why do you think so?" ”
Emperor Xuanwu lowered his head, couldn't see his expression, and said sullenly: "You go, I don't want to see you now." ”
Yingxi is still in a daze, this is good, why do you suddenly want to drive me away? Does this period affect the soul and the body together? It's all moody.
But if she stayed, she didn't know what to say. After a while, he stumbled and said, "Oh, okay, then I'll go first, you, you, you're good, um." ”
In the end, he couldn't say any more, turned his back and hurriedly left, and said to Lan Ying before leaving: "Take care of your mother." ”
Lan Ying and the other servants looked at Yingxi's somewhat embarrassed figure, and they were all sighing in their minds, why did Niangniang have an awkward relationship with His Majesty again!
The big palace maid of Fengyi Palace, only Lan Ying was brought into the palace by Yingxi from the mansion, and her relationship with Yingxi is also closer than others. At this moment, seeing that Emperor Xuanwu turned the emperor away, only Lan Ying dared to come forward to persuade him.
Lan Ying entered the inner room, gently put down the blanket in her arms, squatted in front of Emperor Xuanwu, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Wasn't it good before? ”
Emperor Xuanwu didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.
Lan Sakura began to enlighten her own queen according to her own understanding.
"Miss, I followed you from the palace to the palace, can I not know your thoughts? Your Majesty is your husband after all, even if you have three wives and four concubines now, you still value you very much. ”
"You have said since you were a child that you want a husband who does not take concubines, if you marry someone else, the lord can still fight for you, but this is the palace, how can we speak."
"How can I live this life, why bother myself?"
Emperor Xuanwu didn't want to hear it anymore, so he waved her hand and went out.
Lan Sakura is a maid in the end, so she didn't dare to say more, so she quickly retreated.
Emperor Xuanwu sat alone on the bed, thinking about Lan Ying's words just now. According to her, Yingxi had a love for herself, but later he had three palaces and six courtyards, which made Yingxi cold?
But aren't all emperors like this? Emperor Xuanwu asked herself, and gave the most patience and respect to Yingxi, the queen, but she still refused to herself in every way.
Emperor Xuanwu was faced with a choice question, whether to want Yingxi's heart or the emperor's rights.
When Yingxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, he lay down on the couch in disappointment, and he didn't want to watch it, and he had no strength.
Damn, why does Emperor Xuanwu always look like he is being bullied by others, obviously he has the initiative, he is the emperor, even if the two of them swap identities now, they will definitely change back in the end, this is the unique intuition of the traverser.
In short, no matter what, Emperor Xuanwu has the upper hand, why should he be wronged!
The more Yingxi thought about it, the more angry she became, and she circled around the dormitory.
As soon as Zhang Zhong entered the door, he saw His Majesty furious, anxiously turning in circles.
Father-in-law Zhang: "......", it must be an old problem again.
Zhang Zhong stepped forward with a whisk, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the secret room?" ”
Yingxi was angry, and said strangely: "What are you doing in the secret room?" "Is there a beautiful woman in the secret room?
Ji Xuanyu, do you dare to hide Jiao in the golden house? I declare you dead, you have lost your queen!
Zhang Zhong bowed lower and said, "Your Majesty, your anger hurts your body, the servants have been cleaning the secret room, don't worry." ”
Speaking of which, Yingxi had already aroused her curiosity, and with a flick of her sleeves, she raised her head and said, "Let's go!" ”
Zhang Zhong should be, and then lead the way in front.
It seems that this is the private place of the emperors of the past dynasties, in the middle part of several palaces of the Qianqing Palace, the entrance is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Ying Xi thought that there would be a lot of files, treasures, or simply some unspeakable people living here, but when he opened the door, there were actually a few bookshelves, a few boxes and a bed, and a set of tables and chairs were placed next to the window, and the furnishings were very simple.
Yingxi hesitated and walked towards the bookshelf.
This bookshelf seems to be some years old, although it is well maintained, it is still a little dull in color, and there are many small boxes of different sizes on the shelves, and the workmanship is very exquisite, and they are not locked.
Yingxi took the box that was closest to her, and it should have been taken out often, and for some reason, her heart suddenly beat like a drum, as if opening this box would change something.
While feeling flustered, there is also an indescribable anticipation.
Carefully lift the lid, and there is a jade pendant inside.
The turquoise and transparent, half of the Pisces jade pendant, is carved with dragon pattern auspicious clouds on the top, and smooth as water below.
This thing she had seen, to be exact, this was once her thing. The two had just gotten married, and on the first year's Halloween, Ying Xito's father went to Lingguang Temple to ask the monks to consecrate the pair of Pisces jade pendants for the birthday gift of Emperor Xuanwu.
It was the white one, and the green one was in her palace.
Jade raises people, people raise jade, this piece of jade oil is smooth and smooth, warm and moist, and it is often worn by the owner at a glance.
Ying Xi looked at the room full of boxes, and a guess appeared in his heart: This can't be the place where Emperor Xuanwu stored his gifts, right?
