Chapter 275: One Hundred Secrets and One Neglect
In the evening, the Imperial Study was lit up early. γLatest chapter reading. γBook byγ
Long Xuanyu was flipping through the codex with his hand, his lips were pursed, his face was cold, and his whole body exuded an oppressive cold. Apparently, he seems to be angry.
None of the palace maids and eunuchs below dared to come forward to disturb, and they all guessed in their hearts: What was written on that codex? Did someone really kill Hongyan? Who could that person be?
Outside the imperial study, Yan Yufang led a palace maid and walked over slowly. The palace maid held a tray in her hand, and in the tray were snacks and soup.
"Concubine Niangniang, why did you come to the imperial study in person today?" Gonggong Liu hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully.
"Father-in-law Liu, what are you talking about? It's not the first time that the mourning family has come here to see the emperor, how can they say that they came in person today. Didn't the mourning family come in person that time? Yan Yufang smiled lightly, as if she was just caring about Long Xuanyu as usual.
Gonggong Liu realized that he had said something, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the old slave knows that the concubine has always cared about the emperor." However, today is really unfortunate, the emperor does not see anyone! β
"Oh?" Yan Yufang looked surprised, "Don't you even see the mourning family?" "How to say it, she is the concubine of the former emperor, and Long Xuanyu generally won't refute her face.
Gonggong Liu deliberately lowered his voice, for fear that Long Xuanyu inside would hear it: "I guess Niangniang also heard about it, and the emperor is angry about it!" At this time, don't embarrass us minions! β
Yan Yufang raised her eyes and glanced into the imperial study, still smiling lightly: "Gonggong Liu, the mourning family is in charge of the harem, but the emperor's affairs are there, and the mourning family can't manage it and dare not take care of it!" However, the most worrying thing for the mourning family is the emperor's body. Look, this chicken soup bird's nest is stewed by the mourning family. You just tell me. The emperor will definitely see the mourning family! β
"Niangniang, the emperor has specially instructed me to see no one!" Gonggong Liu was very embarrassed.
"Liu Decai, you are so bold! The mourners just want you to report it. Doesn't it work either? Yan Yufang couldn't help but be angry, "If you don't report it, the mourning family will go in by yourself." Look at which of you dares to stop the mourners! After finishing speaking, he took the chicken soup bird's nest in the hand of the palace maid next to him and wanted to break inside.
"Don't be angry!" Xin'er suddenly walked out of it and stopped in front of Yan Yufang. She looked at the chicken soup and bird's nest in Yan Yufang's hand, as well as a plate of dim sum, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!" It's really rare to see the sincerity of the mother! It's better to do this, Xiao Muzi sent these substitutes in first. The emperor knew that Niangniang was coming, so he naturally met Niangniang! β
Yan Yufang's good-looking apricot eyes dimmed, and the light in her eyes when she looked at Xin'er was naturally full of hostility. They know each other. I'm just looking for a better opportunity to defeat the other party in one fell swoop! Yan Yufang knew that the little Muzi in front of her was Xin'er, and Xin'er naturally decided that the person behind Hongyan was Yan Yufang!
Yan Yufang asked the real Xiao Muzi to return to Long Xuanyu's side, just to expose that she was not Xiao Muzi. It's just that I didn't expect that the real Xiaomuzi became a fake, and she was a fake. It's good to stand here. In fact, it was very easy for her to expose her, as long as she told Long Xuanyu that her face was fake!
Only, she didn't do it! This point makes Xin'er a little puzzled!
Yan Yufang paused for a moment, and actually said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Xiaomuzi's father-in-law!" β
Xin'er took the tray in her hand. Turn around and walk inside. After a while, he walked out again. An apologetic look: "Niangniang, Xiao Muzi is incompetent, the emperor ...... The emperor didn't pay attention to Xiao Muzi at all! So, let's ask the mother to go back first! β
"Xiao Muzi, did you tell the emperor. Is this the mourning family stewed themselves? Yan Yufang looked disappointed, but there was a hint of ruthlessness. Her words, naturally, were not said to Xin'er, but to the people next to her.
"Xiao Muzi dare not make it clear? Xiao Muzi told the emperor that this was the mother herself who stayed up for three days and three nights. The chicken soup that came out of the boil. And that snack, the mother also worked hard to make it for several days! Don't worry, the emperor will definitely eat it! β
Can you still drink the soup after boiling it for three days and three nights? As her words came out, several palace people next to her couldn't help but snicker.
A chill flashed on Yan Yufang's face, and then a smile appeared again. She took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms and gently placed it in Xin'er's hand: "Since the emperor doesn't see the mourning family, the mourning family can't wait here any longer." Xiao Muzi, this is the emperor's thing, return it to him for the mourning family! β
A Jinpa, Long Xuanyu's? How could Long Xuanyu's Jinpa be where she was?
Xin'er held the brocade handkerchief, and her heart was naturally unhappy. However, Yan Yufang smiled brightly at her and led the palace maid away.
She opened the handkerchief, and it was a very ordinary handkerchief. It's just that there is a bouquet of gentleman's orchid embroidered on it! Could it be that it is really Long Xuanyu's? Long Xuanyu likes Junzi Orchid, and it is not impossible for people to embroider Junzi Orchid on their own brocade handkerchief!
Regardless of whether this Jinpa belonged to Long Xuanyu or not, why did she help Yan Yufang return it to him? She threw it away and burned it! Thinking like this, when he turned to walk back, he threw the strip into a flower pot next to him.
"What's wrong? Sent away the concubine, and still looked unhappy? Seeing her walk in, Long Xuanyu gently lifted his lips and said.
"Your Majesty, don't you blame Xiao Muzi for sending the concubine away? Perhaps, the emperor really wants to see her. What's more, such a good chicken soup was delivered, as well as bird's nest and pastries! There was obvious displeasure in the sullen tone.
Long Xuanyu naturally didn't know what she was angry about, but he just felt that she was suddenly a little strange. He shook the codex in his hand at her, and said, "Didn't you say that at this time, anyone is suspicious, including the concubine!" Let's not talk about what the purpose is, wait until we find out the person who instructed Hongyan! β
"In this way, the concubine is the same as anyone else in the emperor's heart, and there is nothing special!" A smile finally crossed her face.
"She is special, she is the concubine of the former emperor, and she is the master of this harem! There is nothing ...... about me" Before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at her, "Xiao Muzi, why do I think you ......"
"What does the emperor think of Xiao Muzi?" I can't help but ask.
The words behind "I think you ......" are not said and cannot be said. He felt as if she was eating! Still, he likes it. Shaking his head, he added, "Nothing! β
Seeing what he was about to say, he swallowed it back. She pouted even more dissatisfied, and put all the chicken soup, bird's nest and pastries on the tray in front of him: "Your Majesty, this is a piece of the concubine's heart, you better enjoy it slowly!" β
Long Xuanyu looked at the steaming chicken soup and bird's nest, and sighed lightly: "This is indeed a good thing, it's a pity not to eat it!" Little Muzi, I will reward them all to you, you can eat them all! β
"Huh?" She looked at him in amazement, both surprised and delighted. Yan Yufang's things, he just doesn't eat them! However, if she wants to eat them all, he thinks her stomach is made of rubber!
"What? Dislike! Raising his eyebrows slightly, he could already see her chuckle in her eyes.
"No, yes, very much!" She smiled brightly and had already picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. These are made by Yan Yufang, and she eats them fiercely! Eating these things is delicious and enjoyable, and you can also vent the unhappiness in your heart, what's so bad!
Long Xuanyu handed her the bird's nest: "Let's eat this first!" I think it's better for you to eat more of this! β
Isn't bird's nest for women to be beautified? He said she was good at eating this? She's a eunuch now, not a woman!
"Huh!" He took the bird's nest with a smile and ate it one bite at a time. However, when she devoured a few bites, she clearly felt that there was something mixed with it. Carefully discern it, it is actually a drug!
Yan Yufang was so bold that she blatantly drugged the food given to Long Xuanyu. However, she must have done it for the sake of the Codex! Since she was so eager, she fulfilled her!
picked up the bowl of chicken soup and drank a few sips, then shook his body, and the bowl of chicken soup in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Your Majesty, here's ...... There are drugs! With that, she fell to the ground with a stumble.
Long Xuanyu looked at the plate of pastries that were still on the table, picked up a piece and took a bite, and then lay on the table as if unconscious.
A moment later, a cold wind blew. The window was gently pushed open, and a black shadow flashed in!
He stayed in place for a moment, and after making sure that Long Xuan Yu and Xin'er were really stunned, he walked over lightly to this side. He grabbed the codex on the table and looked through it eagerly. It's just that when he opened it, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because, there's nothing in it, it's all blank.
He was fooled, and it was clearly a trap!
At this moment, Long Xuanyu had already sat up straight and looked at him indifferently. Xin'er also stood up from the ground and smiled proudly, "Take off your veil!" As long as you honestly confess everything, the emperor will definitely spare you the death penalty! β
The man just smiled disdainfully: "In this palace, the old man can come and go freely, not to mention this small imperial study!" Remember, no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he makes mistakes! β
"What an arrogant tone! It's already catching a turtle in an urn, what else are you proud of? Xin'er retorted, waved her palm and attacked the man. Long Xuan Yuye also turned around and pulled out the soft sword under the table!
"Fight with you, the old man doesn't have that much spare time!" The man dodged their attack with a vigorous slight, and at the same time a handful of white ash spilled out of his hand, blocking their view.
"If you want to escape, it's not that easy!" Long Xuan Yu snorted coldly, his body quickly circled, and a sword slashed at the man's head. However, the sword did not hit the man's head, just as the black veil on his face was cut and scattered!
