Chapter 304: Princess Rakshasa is missing
Although the dispute between the emperor and the queen seems to have been reconciled like this, this incident has left a rift in the hearts of both of them after all.
Luo Changle stayed in Cining Palace that night, but the Queen Mother said that she would not let Luo Changle serve by her side, Luo Changle really had no choice, so he could only stay outside the Queen Mother's bedroom, and just watched the night out.
But after Chu Lingyu returned to his dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a taste, and when he was upset, he suddenly heard a report from someone, saying that it was Concubine Zhe who asked to see him, Chu Lingyu originally wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought that Concubine Zhe was born in the Ministry of Shangshu, and her younger brother is now even more blue, a young jinshi, and he temporarily rewarded an idle position, but this idle position is to entertain the envoys of the Rakshasa country.
For the sake of this young man, Chu Lingyu was unwilling to give Concubine Zhe no face at this time.
So after thinking about it, Chu Lingyu nodded: "Then let Concubine Zhe come in." ”
After a while, Concubine Zhe came to Chu Lingyu with a food box in her hand, with a smile on her face, and bowed: "The concubine has seen the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious......"
"Concubine Zhe."
Chu Lingyu rubbed his temples that were a little tight, and said with a tired face: "Concubine Zhe doesn't have to be polite, get up and speak." ”
"The concubine knew that the queen mother was in poor health, and the emperor must be worried, and the concubine was worried about the emperor's body, so she specially boiled this bowl of lily lotus seed porridge with her own hands, wanting the emperor to clear the fire, after all, this huge world must rely on the emperor to support it alone......"
Concubine Zhe pursed her lips and looked at Chu Lingyu with admiration.
"Concubine Zhe has a heart."
Chu Lingyu nodded, motioned to Concubine Zhe to put the porridge aside, and then left.
"The Emperor's ......"
But Concubine Zhe twisted and pinched, as if there was something else, and she looked like she wanted to complain.
"Is there anything else going on?"
Chu Lingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Zhe with some surprise.
You must know that Concubine Zhe is quite sensible on weekdays, and she never does this kind of ...... Foxy things.
"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you came to visit your concubines......"
As she spoke, Concubine Zhe suddenly became teary-eyed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Since the birth of the eldest prince, the concubines have really felt happy for the emperor and the queen mother...... It's just that it's been nearly a year, and the emperor is in the harem, either going to Cining Palace or Fengyi Palace, but he has left all our sisters behind......"
"Today's concubines are not entirely for themselves, but for all the sisters in the harem except for the queen mother!"
Speaking of this, Concubine Zhe raised her head violently, her eyes were full of determination: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to compare with the queen's mother, I just hope that the emperor will look at the face of the concubines' mothers, and give the concubines and sisters a little face, even if they come to the palace of the concubines to sit and talk with the concubines, the concubines also miss the emperor's kindness in their hearts......"
Speaking of this, Concubine Zhe pursed her lips and sobbed silently, but a pair of apricot eyes kept crying, kneeling there, making Chu Lingyu suddenly feel a little guilty in his heart.
Although the reason why he accepted women other than Luo Changle into the palace as concubines was to balance the power of the court, which was not Chu Lingyu's original intention, but for Concubine Zhe and others, was it a little cruel?
How innocent they are, to become victims of the court struggle......
Thinking of this, Chu Lingyu sighed softly in his heart.
"Concubine Zhe, get up."
Chu Lingyu stood up, slowly came to Concubine Zhe, and personally helped Concubine Zhe, only then did he know that Concubine Zhe was trembling all over, and she couldn't help crying.
"I did ignore you before, I didn't do it."
I don't know if it's because of some unpleasantness with Luo Changle just now, Chu Lingyu has a heartfelt sense of rejection towards Luo Changle in his heart at this time, although he knows that he is very bad like this, but Chu Lingyu doesn't want to carefully analyze the relationship at all, it is like a ball of hair, if you touch it slightly, you will feel extremely irritable.
Chu Lingyu took Concubine Zhe in his arms and gently soothed her, but her eyes were also full of complexity.
The corners of Concubine Zhe's mouth rose, but the tears in her beautiful eyes flowed even more happily.
"No ......"
Concubine Zhe had tears in her eyes, and shook her head with a smile: "Don't blame the emperor, the emperor is a good person, and the concubines and others entered the palace when they first entered the palace, and they also consciously and voluntarily served the emperor...... Today, I can listen to the emperor say such things, concubines, concubines die without regrets! ”
"Silly girl!"
Chu Lingyu smiled slightly, his big hand directly grabbed Concubine Zhe's waist, and said in a low voice: "Then I will be as good as flowing...... It's just Concubine Zhe, the Queen Mother is ill today, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to go to your palace...... But I promise you that as long as these few days pass, I will definitely go to your palace to sit and talk to you, okay? ”
"What the emperor said is true?!"
Concubine Zhe raised her head in surprise, and hurriedly tried the tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief to turn disgust into joy: "That concubine is serious, the emperor, the concubine, the concubine is waiting for you in the palace!" ”
"Hmm."
Chu Lingyu nodded with a smile, and kissed Concubine Zhe lightly on the forehead, and Concubine Zhe blushed when she "brushed" it.
After pretending to be calm and retired, Concubine Zhe left with a shy face.
Originally, Chu Lingyu was only relieved, but somehow, this matter reached Luo Changle's ears.
"You said that Concubine Zhe stayed alone with the emperor for a long time, and she was still shy when she left?"
After serving outside Cining Palace all night, Luo Changle, who was just about to rest, listened to the report of his subordinates, his heart sank, and he asked with a gloomy face.
"Return, go back to the queen's mother, that's what Gonggong Liu next to the emperor said......"
Li'er, the personal palace maid beside the queen, glanced at Luo Changle with apprehension and nodded.
Luo Changle bit his lower lip with joy, looking like he was about to come in a storm.
"Niangniang, the emperor first reprimanded you indiscriminately yesterday, and then he ...... me like this with Concubine Zhe."
Li'er said with an angry face: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Could it be that now the emperor is empathetic and don't fall in love, so he ...... to us"
"Shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Changle stopped Li'er with a calm face, paused, closed his eyes, and then said with a tired face: "The emperor naturally acts with the emperor's reason, the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how can you say such a rebellious word?" ”
"The slave maid is just feeling wronged for the mother......"
Li'er pursed her lips: "You served the queen mother for the emperor all night and didn't close your eyes, but the emperor actually ...... with other women"
"Go to the courtyard and kneel for an hour."
Luo Changle took a deep breath and opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of disappointment for Li'er: "It seems that this palace is too good to you on weekdays, and it makes you forget even the rules and manners!" You are the big palace maid next to the palace, if your words and deeds are inappropriate, others will definitely think that the palace is dissatisfied with the emperor or the queen mother, Li'er, Li'er, this is the deep palace, is it possible that you must kill the palace before you are reconciled? ! ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
Li'er panicked in her heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and her tears fell with the "snap" and "snap": "The slave knows that she is wrong, the queen must not be angry...... The slave and maid have no mouth, so they go outside and kneel, Niangniang, I'm sorry, the slave and maid will never dare to say such things in the future. ”
Luo Changle felt distressed for a while, but he also knew that he had to harden his heart at this time, if not, he was afraid that Li'er would be like this next time, so he could only nod lightly, drove Li'er out, and then lay on the bed alone, crying silently with his eyes open......
Chu Lingyu naturally didn't know about this movement, because Chu Lingyu had a particularly serious problem in front of him.
In the imperial study, Chu Lingyu's face was gloomy, looking at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked through gritted teeth, "Princess Rakshasa is missing?" How is this possible?! ”
Recently, the news that the Rakshasa Princesses are coming to the capital has been spreading, and even the Queen Mother thought of her daughter because she heard that the Rakshasa Princesses were coming, so in order to let Jing Yuan return to the palace quickly, this is the reason for this scene...... But the Rakshasa envoys have already arrived at the gate of the capital, and they actually let people rob the princess like this, where is the face of Li Guo?!
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites naturally knew the stakes, and when he heard the news, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, because Lord Shangshu personally went to receive the Rakshasa envoys, so he could only give the "task" of meeting the emperor to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites came to report hard, and he was also unparalleled in his heart, for fear that the emperor would be unhappy and his life would be in danger.
"If you go back to the emperor, there must be something strange about the disappearance of Princess Rakshasa!"
An adult who had always had some discord with the waiter of the Ministry of Rites took the opportunity to speak in front of the emperor, but before he finished speaking, he was startled by Chu Lingyu's slap on the table, and subconsciously knelt on the ground.
"There must be something strange, there must be something strange, don't I know that there is something strange in this?!"
Chu Lingyu was furious in his heart, looking at the group of civil and military officials in front of him who only knew about the flies and dogs, and were still attacking each other, the anger in his heart only felt more and more serious.
"Minister, ten thousand deaths......"
Everyone knelt on the ground, and the lord and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites were even more in a cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to defend themselves.
"Where has Luo Changan gone?! Send someone to fly the pigeon to pass the book, let him hurry up and return to Beijing, you should deal with this matter quickly, after finding out the direction, report to the uncle as soon as possible, be sure to save Princess Sophia, and definitely not let the envoys of the Rakshasa country be dissatisfied! ”
Chu Lingyu closed his eyes, supported his forehead a little tiredly, and suddenly felt upset.
"And the eldest princess Jingyuan, let Chen Pingzhi quickly bring people back to me!"
Thinking of the mess in the harem, Chu Lingyu sighed heavily in his heart again......
