Chapter 221: Parting for the diamond over 7800 plus more
In just a few days, so many things have happened inside and outside the capital, and the palace will naturally fluctuate.
Fu Yuying stared at the note in her hand, and then handed it over to Qiu Xian, and quickly incinerated it in the candle flame.
"Mother?" Qiu Xian frowned, "Childe means ......"
"Childe's mind is really getting more and more unpredictable." Fu Yuying got up, looked back at Yun Xi, and said with a little doubt, "Childe only sent this, didn't you say anything else?" ”
Yun Xi bowed his head, "Yes, Gongzi just asked Su Xi to send the news, and didn't say anything else." ”
Qiu Xian said in a low voice, "Niangniang, is there anything wrong?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to mention these things to the emperor at this moment!" Fu Yuying's lips pursed, thinking about the explanation on the note, "It is a taboo for the emperor to interfere in politics in the harem, you have to think of a way, otherwise it will ......"
"Since Childe can entrust this matter to Niangniang, I believe it is a confirmation of Niangniang's ability to do things." Yun Xi said, "The emperor doesn't like to do politics in the harem, maybe Niangniang can change the way." ”
Fu Yuying raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "How to change?" ”
"If it's inconvenient for the mother to say it, you can let others say it." A low reminder from the clouds.
Fu Yuying smiled, "That's true, now she is a celebrity in front of the emperor, how many people in the harem are watching, but they are helpless." It's also thanks to my child that I paved a way for her to live. ”
When she said this, Fu Yuying gritted her teeth vaguely. When I think of the unborn child, my heart hurts from time to time like a knife. If it weren't for them, how could she have lost a child?
Gently caressing his lower abdomen, the child is no longer there. Although the emperor's favor still exists, it is unknown how long the emperor's favor can last in this harem. In addition to children, only mothers are more expensive than children, which is a long-term solution.
"If you're free, let her come over!" Fu Yuying narrowed her eyes.
Qiu Xian bowed, "The slave understands!" ”
But it seems that the emperor will not come over tonight, and he was disturbed by Xia Lan, and the emperor rested alone in the dormitory of Yongshou Palace, and no one was summoned.
It's good to do this, and it also saves those who lose their voyeurs, thinking about how to compete for favor there.
Queen Li is still in the process of being grounded, but she also has the fun of grounding.
It was stormy outside, but inside the Kunning Palace, it was a beautiful room.
Qin An climbed away from the queen, the queen's face was like a peach blossom, and a pair of confused eyes looked at Qin An, who was also panting, "Sure enough, he is a young man, and he serves the palace very well." It is worthy of coming out of the East Factory, and the palace is very satisfied. ”
Qin An was no longer informal, and gently and gently took the queen into his arms, this fornication was really exciting and extraordinarily enjoyable, "The queen is satisfied, the slave is still afraid of poor service, and the mother will not want the slave!" ”
"Where can I find such a good minion?" The problem is that I don't dare to find it easily. In case it leaks out, she, the queen mother, will personally cuckold the emperor, but she is afraid that death will not be enough, and the nine clans will be wiped out.
"Isn't the queen worried?" Qin An said, "It is rumored outside now that Daye and Huanglan seem to be going to war, and even nine thousand years old have to rush to Daye, so there is a big problem here." ”
"That's a matter for men, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone me, the unfavored queen." The queen sighed lightly and sat up, "This emperor's whole mind is on cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened, or those beautiful women in the harem." The palace is already old and decrepit, and the emperor doesn't even look at the palace. ”
"Now that the palace is still grounded, what can we do? In this harem, you can't live without grace, there is no queen in this palace, but there is no queen power, you see the lady in the past, she is just a lowly person, what about now? Once pregnant, the mother is expensive by virtue of the child, and she has reached the position of Zhaoyi. If he gives birth to a prince in the future, he will most likely be the prince. ”
"The emperor will not let the prince's mother have too low status, so as long as he gives birth to a son, this Wang Jinxiu will become a master. Concubines, or concubines, are all possible things. The key depends on her belly, whether she is strong enough to fight. ”
Qin An nodded, "Now that there is such a pregnant lady in the harem, it is naturally infinitely beautiful." ”
Earlier, there were two miscarriages of the concubine, and even the queen was implicated, although there is no real evidence, but being grounded in the palace is not much different from entering the cold palace. Therefore, now, no one dares to take the child of Wang Jinxiu's belly again.
Taking a deep breath, the queen's face was gloomy, and she looked at the candle flame on the table, "The queen of this palace is the most cowardly, and I thought that if I killed the concubines that day, the emperor would take a look at the palace, who knows that if you don't like it, you don't like it, even if you try your life in front of him, he won't look at you more." ”
Qin An gently gnawed at the queen's neck, "Queen Mother, aren't there still minions?" The slave is willing to accompany the mother, and the happiness is endless. ”
The queen smiled, "It's okay, there's such a little thing as you." ”
"The slave must be waiting for the queen's mother, comfortable." Qin An's smile was like a flower.
The queen looked at her male pet, and her heart was also a lot more balanced. The emperor has the emperor's harem, and she also has her own, and only then can it be considered fair. But isn't this a woman's sorrow?
watched her husband have children with someone else's love, and she could only seek solace in other men.
With a light sigh, the night in the palace is getting colder and colder.
The emperor also felt the same, and he could hear the occasional cry outside, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, "Little Dezi! ”
"The minions are here!" Xiao Dezi hurriedly entered the door, and knelt down in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Is the one out there still there?" The emperor asked.
Xiao Dezi's face tightened, "Your Majesty, it's still there!" But now I don't dare to cry, in the dead of night, just kneeling there! The servants stared at it, and the emperor just slept peacefully. ”
"How do you sleep?" The Emperor was indignant, "When I lay on the bed, I always felt a cry coming from my ears, and I was a bastard. ”
Xiao Dezi sighed lightly, "Your Majesty, now that the former grandfather of the country is in prison, he has been sent by the emperor to lose a family, and it is normal for Lan Jieyu to be dissatisfied." It's just that if you disturb the emperor's rest, you really don't know the general situation. ”
"Don't know the general idea? I see that she is purely looking for death! The Emperor gritted his teeth, "Go, send her back, grounded!" If she dares to appear in front of me again and plead for her uncompetitive father, don't blame me for being unkind to her. ”
Xiao Dezi saluted, "The slave will do it immediately!" ”
The emperor was agitated and walked around the dormitory.
Xia Lan's eyes were red and swollen, and she knelt at the door of the Yongshou Palace with a hairpin.
"Niangniang should go back!" Xiao Dezi stood in front of her.
"Father-in-law?" Xia Lan choked up, and couldn't even shed tears at the moment, "Father-in-law De, is the emperor awake?" Father-in-law, I have no choice, the Guogong Mansion has long fallen out of favor, even my sister is staying in the cold palace, if I don't do anything, I'm afraid that even my father's life will not be saved! ”
"Niangniang is kneeling here now, can Grandpa Guo's life be saved? provoke the emperor to be angry, let alone the grandfather of the country, even you will have to worry about your life. Xiao Dezi sighed lightly, "Now that the matter is over, Niangniang doesn't need to say much, go back quickly!" ”
"Father-in-law?" Summer Orchid sobbed.
"It's a foregone conclusion, today's Guogong Mansion is no longer the situation of the past, Niangniang should retreat from the difficulty, otherwise the white silk will hang around her neck!" Xiao Dezi was meaningful, "Come on, send the mother back to the palace." This hairpin is really not good-looking, and the emperor is extremely disgusted with unsightly things. ”
Xia Lan was paralyzed on the ground, and suddenly there was a feeling of being unaccompanied.
Something happened to the Xia family, the trees fell and scattered, and those who were attached to the Xia family earlier have long since disappeared. Now they are afraid of her one by one, like a plague, and they can't stay away from her.
Ridiculous, right?
When you are beautiful, how many people come up with their eyes.
When you are down, how many people hate to fall into the well.
Xia Lan was escorted back, this is going to be grounded, after all, there is no one in the Xia family anymore, even if Xia Lan is favored, it is only a person's favor, and there is no family to share her glory.
"Mother?" Bi Chun sobbed lowly, "You have to take care of yourself." ”
Now that this is the case, what else can we do?
"I thought that as long as I could share the emperor's favor, I would be able to keep my father well, and I might be able to bring the Guogong Mansion back to life in the future. But I didn't expect that after all, it was my own wishful thinking, and no one gave me a chance to make a comeback. Xia Lan sat in the cold courtyard, looking at the cold moonlight, "Bichun, the Xia family is gone, and I will be the only one left in the future." ”
"Niangniang, the slave will always accompany Niangniang." Bi Chun wept tears.
Xia Lan nodded numbly, "Yes, and you!" But Bichun, can I get grace again in the future? Even if I die, I can't spare those people. I believe my dad is innocent, and this is just being someone else's scapegoat! ”
Bi Chun looked at her fixedly, "Niang Niang is smart and well-born, she will definitely be favored again." ”
"That's good." Summer orchid is like a frosted eggplant, wilting, "The Xia family is gone." This time, it's really gone. Send this news to the cold palace! I can't cry alone, and I'm sad for my father alone! ”
Bi Chun bowed, "The slave understands!" ”
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xia Lan lay on the ground, and the cold chill penetrated into her bones, which made her freeze the pain in her heart. She firmly believes that one day, she will make a comeback. If you are already alone, what else is there to be afraid of?
Anyway, the family is all dead.
The night in the palace is so long......
But Zhao Wuwu and Mu Baili felt that this night was too short, too short to hug, too late to say a few words, and it was already time to separate. They didn't say anything, they didn't do anything.
Mu Baili wrapped her in a futon and hugged her all night. Sometimes the love is deep, but you don't need to do anything, you just need to get along quietly, remember each other's eyebrows, and engrave them forever.
When he left, she stood behind her and looked at him, never seeing him off.
I thought in my heart: Since Jun's parting, there is no one to do it, and he cuts the candles in the west window.
Zhao Wuwu stood in the courtyard, watching the sun rise higher and higher in the sky, and listening to the noise outside getting louder and louder. She just stood quietly, dressed in white and snowy, with a face like jade.
Su Xi walked behind her slowly, "Today is the day of departure, won't the prince go to the city gate?" The emperor has already led the civil and military officials to the city gate to see them off, and the prince can go and have a look. ”
"Look at what? Watch him go? Watching him leave the capital and leave my sight, but in front of so many people, he can't look back at me and give me warm eyes? And I, can only pretend to be insensitive, give him a cold look? Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes and smiled hard, "Suxi, I'm afraid I won't be able to help it." ”
I hate parting the most in this life, but I have experienced parting.
How much is it unspeakable......
When Mu Baili led the army, she was not found among the hundred officials, and she did not have to go to court to get the emperor's favor, and she did not have to participate in various ceremonial activities outside the Ministry of Rites, unless it was ordered by the emperor.
But with such a body, how dare the emperor let her come out.
Outside the gongs and drums were noisy, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the capital. She knew, he was gone. But she couldn't do it, and she couldn't keep him.
When the hundred officials at the city gate were dispersed, Zhao Wuwu appeared outside the city gate, lifted the curtains, and looked at the dust and smoke in the distance. She didn't even dare to climb the tower, and she didn't dare to let people see the clues at such a juncture.
She could only sit in the carriage and lift the corner of the curtain to catch the dust and smoke of his troops. I thought about what kind of state of mind he should be in when he left. Maybe it will be like her, so much like her, I want to hug crazy and hug her or him tightly.
The tip of the nose is sour, but there is nothing to be done.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Wuwu said, "Go back!" ”
It can only be sent here, tears lingering in the eyes without a fight, and no one can see it.
Zhao Wuwu, who returned to Shangshu Mansion, didn't say a word, just sat under the pear tree and drank pear blossom wine. There was no sadness on his face, and there was not a trace of tears. She was like a nobody, just staring at the bone flute on the table in a daze, and drinking pear blossom sake.
There was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms between her words, but in her eyes was his repeated face, which kept appearing in her sight, crowded her mind and heart.
"Don't drink it, don't you want to die?" ”
Zhao Wuwu didn't struggle, just put down the cup, and looked at Wen Gu with a wry smile, "I don't cry or make trouble, but you are not at ease, right?" Who says parting has to be sad and sad? I just feel a little uncomfortable! My heart hurts a little, and drinking some alcohol can numb me a little. ”
"Your body doesn't allow you to act recklessly." Wen Gu stuffed the wine jar into Su Xi's hand, "You don't know how to persuade?" ”
"I'm not a doctor, so I can't cure my heart disease." Su Xi hugged the wine jar, looking innocent.
Wen sighed lightly, "Although he is gone, he will still come back!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu glanced at him obliquely, and his face tightened.
Everyone knows that this trip is very dangerous.
"How's the clock milling going?" Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows and asked.
Su Xi said, "Don't worry, this matter is now implicated in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister will definitely ask for the case to be closed as soon as possible." This matter will no longer have anything to do with the Workshop Division, and when the case is resolved, the Workshop Division will be able to reopen. ”
Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "My father naturally won't allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to be implicated, I'm just curious, will he investigate the people behind it?" ”
"Will it find out Childe's head?" Su Xi worried.
"On the periphery of the Zhong family's cellar that day, there are traces of the East Factory, and you are only responsible for mixing a little official silver into it, and the others have not been handled at all, so no matter how much you check, you can't find it on my head." Zhao Wuwu was indifferent, "At most, I will find the East Factory." ”
Su Xi was stunned, "What if you find the East Factory?" ”
"Mu Baili has already sent an envoy to the wilderness, can the emperor still investigate his crimes? Up to now, all the folds that are unfavorable to the East Factory can only be suppressed. My father should also know that it is powerful, so he will not touch the emperor's mold. As long as Mu Baili brings the snow fox back at that time, the emperor will be able to write off this matter. "Zhao Wuwu is slow and reasonable.
This wine is really getting more and more undrunk, no matter how you drink it, you can't get drunk, and it's still so clear in your mind.
Su Xi bowed, "That's right." ”
"Keep an eye on the forces." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "It is estimated that Mu Baili will take action when he leaves." I want to see, who is so ignorant of life and death this time, and goes to the emperor? ”
"What happens when you get together?" I don't understand.
Zhao Wuwu glanced at him, he didn't understand the government and politics, but Zhao Wuwu was in it, but he was sober-minded, "The emperor wants to cultivate immortals and become enlightened, whoever dares to miss the emperor's major events is looking for death." The emperor doesn't care how valuable you are, all he wants is a snow fox! So at this time, whoever wants to swallow the power of Dongchang is going against the emperor. ”
Wen said, "So the Qi Yu Royal Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion don't dare to make a move?" ”
"If you make a move at this time, aren't you looking for your own death?" Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, "The emperor himself can guard against Mu Baili, but he doesn't like to hear other people's reminders." People who are rigid and self-serving have the sentiment of being rigid and self-serving, so what about it...... Once you can't feel the emperor's mind, you will touch the emperor's scales. ”
Wen nodded his head, "Ruthless is the most emperor, this Xia family has ended up like this now, isn't it because of the high merit?" ”
"That's right, if the emperor refuses, no one can do anything about the Xia family. However, the Xia family was arrogant and domineering, and ended up like this, only to blame that they did not retreat bravely at the beginning. In the way of imperial power, everyone has to die. Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath and stood up slowly, his eyes falling on the sky far-reachingly.
Mubari, wait for me.
Xu was telepathic, and Mu Baili in the carriage only felt a sudden twitch in his heart, and then subconsciously thought of her. She didn't come when he left, and he had expected her not to come.
Such a proud person, her heart is very deep, how can she let herself appear in such a place, if she is messed up, and her emotions are messed up to teach people to see the clues, how should she deal with herself?
Zhao Song and King Qi You were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they were both staring at her, so she would not allow herself to make such a low-level mistake.
It's a very helpless thing to fall in love with someone who is too sober. Because they are all too rational, so rational that people can't find the flashpoint, and there is no way to break through that layer of careful stability.
But it's okay this way, a cautious person can live safely in the court where people eat people and don't spit out bones.
The case of the Jiaofang Division has already fallen on the heads of the household department and Zhong Miao, as well as the Xia Guogong Mansion. Obviously, Zhao Wuwu's whitewashing operation this time was very effective, and he did not end up in the slightest suspicious.
She retreated with her whole body and watched coldly as Xia's family was raided. Counting the new and old accounts clearly, she thought that the blood debt on her body would be collected sooner or later.
It's just a matter of time!
If you kill too many people, you will be killed sooner or later.
On the day when Xia's house was raided, it was drizzling, and Zhao Wuwu stood next to the wine shop with an umbrella, watching the fresh lives disappear in front of him. She's not a good person, never has been.
In the eyes of the world, she is the son of a traitor who does all kinds of evil, and she is a petty traitor.
So, she's damned too.
"Childe, go back!" Su Xi opened low.
Zhao Wuwu wrapped the shawl on his body tightly, "It's summer, why is the weather still so cold?" ”
Su Xi sighed lightly and was silent.
Zhao Song kept the book of the household department and pushed out a few small officials below, at this time, if he didn't abandon the car to protect the handsome, when would he stay? Naturally, the emperor would not ask, and the cabinet did not dare to say more.
The case of Guanyin, which was extended from Zhong Miao's death, can be regarded as the end.
And no matter what the intentions of the people behind it were at the beginning, they were played with by Zhao Wuwu in applause at this moment, deviating from their original intentions and failing to achieve their desired goals. This variable is probably not expected by anyone.
I originally wanted to see Zhao Wuwu's jokes, but I didn't expect that if I wasn't careful, I was treated as part of the joke.
In the drizzle, it all came to an end.
And Zhao Wuwu was thinking about the army that was traveling far away, and he didn't know where it was at the moment. After a few days of marching, it is estimated that you will be able to reach Jinling City! Out of Jinling City, you can continue to walk towards the border pass, and then there is - Barrenland.
With a sigh, Zhao Wuwu turned around and walked towards the Teaching Workshop Division.
Wen said that Qu Yun had moved, and it was estimated that he was about to wake up.
I can't die, I really want to be a fateful woman.
When Zhao Wuwu went, Qu Yun had already woken up, and he was leaning weakly on the bedpost at the moment, looking at everyone in front of him with a face as white as paper. Honggu was standing by the bedside, her face slightly tightened, and she seemed to be on alert.
He is afraid of Qu Yun, let's have an accident again!
Sitting down unhurriedly, Zhao Wuwu's face was slightly pale and emotionless, just lightly swept Qu Yun's face, "It's time to speak, right?" Do I need to ask more? ”
Qu Yun looked at her fixedly, with some hollowness in his eyes.
Su Xi said, "How happened to Miss Quyun, do you remember?" ”
"I—I don't remember." Qu Yun narrowed his eyes, "I only know that I was eating at the time, and I was unconscious while eating." ”
"Didn't you just eat and eat and stuff poison into your mouth?" Zhao Wuwu smiled gently.
Qu Yun was shocked, "No! ”
"Did you not kill Zhong Mill, or did you not kill yourself?" Zhao Wuwu is meaningful.
Qu Yun froze there, probably not knowing how to answer, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely strange for a while. Qu Yun stiffened and clutched the futon. But she was very weak at the moment, and even if she wanted to, she didn't have the strength.
"Don't you tell the truth?" Su Xi scolded, "What a bold man, dare to betray the sectarian division, dare to kill people without telling his son." Qu Yun, do you know what happened to you? ”
His eyebrows trembled slightly, and Qu Yun's face was as white as paper, "I didn't betray the Sect Division, I don't understand what you're talking about?" I didn't kill Lady Chung, and I don't know who poisoned my rice. I don't know if there are any traitors in this sect, I just know that my life is in your hands, and whatever you say, that's what it is! I am powerless to resist, and I cannot resist. ”
"You're saying we wronged you?" Su Xi sneered twice, "You just woke up, you must not know what happened in the past few days, right?" In the case of the Teaching Workshop Division, the official bank was found in the mansion of Lord Zhong, and then many officials of the household department were implicated. Not only that, but the Xia family has also been mixed in, the former Xia State Mansion has now been razed to the ground, and the Xia family has been beheaded all over the house, except for the one in the palace, no one has survived. ”
Qu Yun's body trembled terribly, it had only been a few days, and so many things had happened in this capital. Xia Guogong Mansion was so glorious in the past, and now it will ......
The next moment, Qu Yun stared at Zhao Wuwu in front of him in disbelief.
This seemingly sick young man has a harmless face, but he has become the most dangerous existence. Frightened in his heart, Qu Yun trembled violently, "The concubine was not instructed by anyone, and she really didn't know anything. ”
"You should know that you have violated the rules of the Teaching Workshop Division, and you will not be able to accept customers in the future." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes and took a sip of water in the cup.
Honggu said, "Qu Yun, from the moment you entered the Teaching Workshop Division, you should know the rules of the Teaching Workshop Division. Once unfaithful, a hundred times not used. You've been involved in a murder case, so the Faculty Department can't tolerate you. You are given two choices, one is to enter the barracks as a military prostitute, and the other is to go to the subordinate office as a slave. ”
But no matter where you go, it's all physical and mental torture, and it's almost a dead end. No, it should be said that it is more cruel and terrible than death.
As a military prostitute, if you are lucky enough to meet you one day, you may be able to redeem yourself and let you be a bed warmer, which can be regarded as the accumulation of virtue in this life. If you go to the official office, then you can only spend your life in the dark.
Qu Yun immediately fell off the bed and knelt in front of Zhao Wuwu, this time he didn't even have the strength to cry, "Childe? Childe spares his life! I really didn't kill it, Lord Zhong's death has nothing to do with me, it's really not me. ”
With Su Xi in charge, Qu Yun naturally couldn't get too close to Zhao Wuwu.
Through Su Xi, Qu Yun's lips turned pale, "Childe, Childe, you believe me once." ”
"Why should I believe you?" Zhao Wuwu put down the cup in his hand, "Honggu, you give her a choice!" I am tired! She got up and walked out.
Behind him, Qu Yun burst into tears, "I'm for my father, son, son, son!" ”
Zhao Wuwu paused, and looked back at her faintly, "What did you say?" ”
"My father came to the capital to find me, and by chance, our father and daughter met. But he owes a lot of gambling debts, and I can't help it. The head of the teaching department is strictly guarded, and I can't take out so much money, so—" Qu Yun couldn't cry, "So in order to pay off my father's debts, I—I begged Master Zhong." ”
Su Xi and Zhao Wuwu glanced at each other, in order to control these women, the teaching department was extremely strict with money management. These women received monthly silver, after all, they all signed a deed of sale, and it was impossible to have too much freedom.
And Qu Yun is not too outstanding in the Teaching Workshop Division, so naturally there are not many benefactors.
Wen snorted twice, and actually hated that iron could not become steel, "Your father sold you in his early years, and now you have to sacrifice yourself to pay back your father, is there something wrong with your brain?" If your father really treats you as a daughter, how can he be willing to let you be in such a place? But any parent who has some flesh and blood affection would rather starve to death himself than let his children be abused in these places in vain. ”
Qu Yun couldn't cry anymore, "I also know that I shouldn't be soft-hearted, but he is my father, and he said that the most sorry thing in his life is me." But he can't help it, so how can I not help him? I'm just such a dad! ”
Zhao Wuwu rubbed her eyebrows, Qu Yun's appearance made her look upset, and she also remembered Zhao Song's treatment of herself. If the blood is hot, no one will use their children as pawns!
