Chapter 207: Thank You
It's the end of summer, and an early morning shower brings a touch of coolness, making the hot weather refreshing. The canna planted in front of the court is covered with water droplets, green as new, several little eunuchs are wiping the dust on the leaves with a white cloth, and Luomei is holding a pair of scissors to cut a magnolia branch that has been selected for a long time.
Holding this bud that has not yet bloomed, he smiled and said to Cui'er who was slowing down beside him: "Look at you, why don't you cut it yet, didn't you say that Miss Luo likes osmanthus flowers?" ”
"Yes, yes, but ......" Cui'er hesitated.
She didn't know why Miss Luo and Concubine Rou suddenly got so close, and looking at Concubine Rou's attitude, she seemed to be a little stammered with Miss Luo. No, even the hundred-year-old osmanthus tree in front of her palace is willing to cut it out and put it in a vase for Miss Luo, how can it be easily said with two words?
How arrogant and arrogant the former Rou Guifei was, Cui'er didn't know that Miss Keluo had only been here for more than a month, and her form had completely changed.
Miss Luo is so capable, maybe when she leaves, it will be best to follow her to Xichu by herself, right?
Smiling slightly, her lowered eyes flashed a touch of shyness and joy, and when she looked up again, Cui'er had already restrained her happy mood, smiled and nodded towards Luomei: "Well, then I'll cut it, the girl will definitely like it." ”
With a click, she cut off a fragrant osmanthus branch.
In Qinglin Palace, Concubine Rou was chatting with Luo Qingluan, and even Luomei and Cui'er were not around, so it was conceivable that the other palace maids who were waiting were not left. Because although the two of them were chatting, what they said could not be heard by anyone.
"Over there in the Qixia Palace, I heard that the supervision is very strict, and no one is allowed to enter."
Concubine Rou looked mysterious, and asked in a whisper with a gossip light: "Miss Luo, you said, is the queen mother real...... Really can't get back to the way they used to look? ”
Although she also heard Luo Qingluan say that although the queen mother was poisoned, the poison was not fatal, and it would gradually subside and even heal after ten days. And those scars on the queen's body will naturally be restored under the care of various secret medicines, but it is unknown whether they can be restored to the original.
And what she has been most worried about is this woman's stunning appearance.
Playing with the pearl the size of a pigeon's egg in his hand, Luo Qingluan glanced at it from time to time, with a faint smile on his lips, and did not answer Concubine Rou for the time being. The palm is delicate and smooth, and you can see a hazy multicolored halo, this pearl is indeed good, even better than the ones that Lin Xiaochen gave her in the past.
It's been three days, and Han Xun hasn't come to him again, but it's only one day before his next bloodline retrograde attack, and at most she will go to Longyin Palace tomorrow.
As for Bai Yixuan, her poison period has passed, and she has begun to heal. But the last time she saw it, unless Bai Yixuan met the immortals, it would be impossible for her to recover her appearance in this life. The title of the first beauty of the Southern Wei Kingdom, which she was proud of, has been completely lost.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Luo Qingluan didn't make a sound, Concubine Rou was a little disappointed, but she felt more and more that Luo Qingluan was mysterious and had outstanding means. She smiled and pretended to be casual and said, "Even if the queen can recover, as long as Miss Luo is with her, Your Majesty will no longer like her." ”
"I have nothing to do with Han Xun, don't misunderstand." Luo Qingluan raised her head suddenly, and a clear and clear brilliance flashed in her eyes staring at her.
With such a frank expression, without the slightest hypocrisy, Concubine Rou seemed to feel that Luo Qingluan was indeed not interested in Emperor Beiyue. She wanted to believe it, but so many things had happened, and every thing proved that the Beiyue Emperor had connived at Luo Qingluan, and his attitude was self-evident, did she still need to explain?
Even if Luo Qingluan really doesn't like the Beiyue Emperor, doesn't the Beiyue Emperor dislike her either? Concubine Rou didn't believe it.
After this incident, Bai Yixuan couldn't make any waves. Murdering the emperor is the biggest crime, no matter how she explains, no matter what her identity is, Han Xun will no longer trust her. ”
Luo Qingluan shook his palm lightly, and while rolling the pearl to massage the acupuncture points on his palm, he said slowly: "But we can't take it lightly, Bai Yixuan has always been a person who will repay her, and if we fix her like that, she will definitely retaliate fiercely, and she will do whatever it takes." ”
With a beating in her heart, Concubine Rou exclaimed, "How can that be good?" ”
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, take one step at a time."
Back at Yushu Palace, Bai Yixuan had just had dinner, and before she had time to wash, Yuan Xing came.
"Princess, the princess has urgent news coming, and I want the princess to take a look at it as soon as possible." As he spoke, he handed over a letterhead sealed with fire paint.
Luo Qingluan frowned, he couldn't imagine that what happened would make Nalan Ye feel urgent, so he took the letterhead and opened it, and only after reading it at a glance did he know what was going on.
Nalan Ye rushed back to Western Chu because of the alliance between North Vietnam and Southern Wei, and soon confirmed the news, and the Manchu civil and military were wary of North Vietnam's movements, fearing that war might break out at any time. At this moment, the border with the Southern Wei State found that the other party was gathering troops, and it seemed that there was an intention to attack Western Chu.
Before waiting for the military intelligence to go up, the Southern Wei side had already launched an attack, and the Western Chu was not properly prepared, with countless casualties, and the border town was occupied by the Southern Wei army on the same day. When the news came back to the capital three days later, Emperor Xichu urgently convened a council and sent the second prince Nangong Yu and several generals to lead an army of 50,000 to the front line, and finally recaptured the lost territory.
Such a thing happened, if it weren't for the news of Nalan Night, Luo Qingluan, who was in North Vietnam, wouldn't have felt it at all. Looking at the letter, she still didn't understand.
The alliance between the Southern Wei and the North Vietnam was naturally to strengthen herself, but the Southern Wei actually attacked the Western Chu before the North Vietnam, which she did not expect. This is because of Lin Yixuan, Luo Qingluan knew during the time he got along with him that Lin Yixuan was a person with clear grievances and did not like to provoke wars, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Wei, if he knew that Southern Wei was going to attack Western Chu, he would definitely want to stop it.
It's not about interests, it's just that she believes in Lin Yixuan's personality.
After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan asked Yuan Xing: "Is there any news about the prince of Southern Wei?" ”
Yuan Xing nodded: "Since Lin Yixuan returned to China, he somehow began to dislike Emperor Southern Wei because of some trivial things, and finally angered, and was ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and even the last dynasty was banned. At present, the Emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty favors the second prince Lin Xiaochen, and some people speculate whether the Emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty may remove Lin Yixuan from the position of prince and change it to Lin Xiaochen, so the people of Lin Xiaochen's biological mother's faction are jumping up and down. ”
So that's the case, no wonder Lin Yixuan couldn't speak, it turned out to be difficult to protect himself.
Luo Qingluan couldn't figure out what Lin Yixuan had offended Emperor Southern Wei for, even if he had the reason to stop the war, he was afraid that Lin Xiaochen's strategy would be indispensable.
These two brothers and sisters are really good, one made waves in the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the other went to North Vietnam to win over relations, which is really a good means.
"Princess, in view of these things, the prince said that North Vietnam is not safe, let you go back to Xichu as soon as possible." Yuan Xing said.
"I see, but I can't leave right now." Seeing that Yuan Xing was going to persuade him again, Luo Qingluan stopped him and said, "You go back and tell the prince, I will come back in a month at most, so that he can rest assured." ”
Bai Yixuan couldn't get up anymore, no matter what means she had, as long as Han Xun didn't believe it, it was useless. Now she has to wait for Bai Yixuan's final blow to completely eliminate this hidden danger.
Calculating the time, it will be ten days and a half months, and the remaining half a month will be rushed back to Xichu on the road, which is almost a month.
Seeing Luo Qingluan's firm expression, Yuan Xing knew that persuasion was useless, so he could only give up and go back to his life.
After thinking for a while, Luo Qingluan gradually calmed down and asked Cui'er to help her prepare for the bath, she was going to rest.
Packed up and lying on the bed, Luo Qingluan guessed Bai Yixuan's next move, and a moment of sleepiness hit her, and she fell asleep.
The next day, without waiting for Han Xun to send Xiao Chunzi to invite her, Luo Qingluan took the initiative to go to Longyin Palace.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Han Xun turned around and saw that it was her, something flashed in his eyes, but the words he said still carried a little coldness: "Every ten days, either you come, or I ask you to go to you, so many times, don't you feel troublesome?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm here to lift the ban for you completely."
Luo Qingluan walked up to Han Xun, sat down by himself, picked up the teacup in front of him, and poured himself a cup, not treating Han Xun as an emperor at all, just like an ordinary person.
Han Xun was taken aback: "Are you serious? ”
Before he could say this, he felt that something was wrong: "Are you so kind?" I beg you not once or twice, you never agreed, this time you actually took the initiative to come and say yes, do you think I will believe it? What tricks are you playing? ”
Hearing Han Xun's deep anger and resentment, Luo Qingluan didn't take it to heart.
She made a move on Han Xun as a last resort, and even if Han Xun was now under her control, she couldn't really kill him casually.
Han Xun's identity determines that she can't come nonsense, if she really kills Han Xun, not only will North Vietnam definitely attack Western Chu immediately and join forces with Southern Wei, but also the public opinion in Western Chu is not something she can bear.
It is useless to kill an emperor, it is useful to use him to bring benefits to yourself.
Although Han Xun's reputation in Western Chu is not very good, Luo Qingluan has seen another side of him since he came to North Vietnam. Whether it was the people of North Vietnam or the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all in awe of Han Xun and regarded him as a god.
It is better for Han Xun to be the emperor of North Vietnam than to let an unfamiliar person do it.
Glancing at Han Xun, Luo Qingluan said loudly: "I don't want to quarrel with you, Han Xun, if you are willing, I will relieve you now, and you will not have to suffer this pain from now on." If you don't want to, you won't have that chance next time. ”
One second, two seconds...... Han Xun was silent, only staring at Luo Qingluan, wanting to see through her true intentions. But how could he guess that Luo Qingluan let him go because he was about to leave North Vietnam?
"Okay, you can help me out." After a long time, Han Xun finally spoke, and just as Luo Qingluan was about to make a move, he suddenly said, "Thank you." ”
