Chapter 121: All or Nothing (2)
Tuoba Yue sighed lightly, he may never find an answer to this matter, because he won't let her have an accident, just like this time, he will protect her.
The tiredness on his body came for a while, swallowing himself like a wave, and Tuoba Yue slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he felt that there was a silver bell-like laughter around him, scattered in the wind, he opened his eyes and looked around, only to see that he was in an elegant and simple courtyard, and there was a fleur-tailed yaoqin in the corner of the room, isn't this Hexi's thing? What is it? Tuoba Yue frowned in contemplation, but kept walking outside.
The laughter was getting closer and closer, and he turned the corridor in front of him, only to see a small figure under the greenery, followed by a maid of the same size, the master and servant were swinging up and down, and the girl's laughter was like a yellow bird out of the valley.
was so carefree, even Tuoba Yue seemed to be infected by this picture, and softly pulled the corners of her mouth.
Suddenly, a person ran in from the crescent moon door, shouting something at the girl, and he saw that the girl's face gradually became shy, and her eyes were shining, and his heart was sour, and he wanted to know what had happened to make her so.
The girl turned around and ran away, and after a while, she saw a woman in a wedding dress running from behind, the phoenix crown was beautiful, the beauty was extreme, and the flying skirt seemed to spread behind her like a flame, he grabbed her, wanting to tell her not to, don't marry that person, and then the woman in front of her ripped off the hijab covering her head, her face had become Xiao Nai, and her eyes were vicious and terrible: "Brother Yue, then when will you marry me, Brother Yue-"
Tuoba Yue was startled, opened his eyes in an instant, looked at the top of the stone bed, and knew that this was a dream, a bizarre dream, he almost had a splitting headache, and the pain in his throat seemed to have been burned by the fire, he got up, Yue Qixu heard the voice, and asked outside: "Is the prince awake?" ”
"Hmm." The voice is hoarse and obscure, and somewhat unpleasant.
Yue Qi turned around and entered the stone room, handed the things in his hand to Tuoba Yue and said, "Lord Wang, something happened in Shuzhong. ”
Tuoba Yue calmly took the secret report in Yue Qi's hand, opened it to see, and gently closed the letterhead in his hand after a while. He said lightly: "How long will it take to reach the DPRK?" ”
"Four days at most, two days at least, but the moon guards we stayed in the palace seem to have moved, but this time, Lord Xi Xiao-" Yue Qi hesitated a little, what he wanted to say was that this time Xi Xiao took the initiative to Biyue Ling, and even he didn't know what the moon guards in the palace were doing.
The slender fingers continued to rub the rough lines of the stone table, and he said lightly: "This king knows about this matter, you-you send someone to keep an eye on some, until you have to do it as a last resort, don't act rashly, everything has to go back to the king to make plans, and also, prepare the carriage and go home." ”
Hexi, what do you want to do?
Tuoba Yue's sword eyebrows condensed frost and snow, like ten thousand years of ice, cold to the bone, all year round, and suddenly remembered Xiao Nai's words: "What if He Xi is doing something against our original intention?" ”
What to do?
In the palace, He Xi was sleeping lightly in the silk crepe, heard the footsteps, He Xi opened his eyes and looked at the person, it was Ruyi, it was still raining outside, it lasted for several days, and saw that He Xi was not asleep, so he stepped forward a few steps and said: "Little master, the green pothos girl of Bingquan Palace is out of the palace, and the slave has already inquired with the little eunuch guarding the palace gate, and the little eunuch said that the lady concubine misses Mrs. Xu, and specially sent someone to visit Mrs. Xu." ”
He Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that Xu Qing'er really believed her words, Ruyi had already learned the truth of this matter from Yuewei's mouth, so she asked: "Little master, if this matter is known, if the prince knows-"
If Tuoba Yue was angry, I'm afraid, when she thought of this, she looked at He Xi with a lazy look, but saw He Xi with a lazy look, half-lying on the couch, waterfall-like green silk scattered aside, covering the corners of her lips and yawning slowly, not caring at all.
Ruyi also stopped asking, and bowed softly before withdrawing.
After Ruyi left, He Xi's eyes were still lazy, full of clarity, but the smile on the corner of his lips was a little cold, and he turned around and fell asleep inside.
The torrential rain fell for three days in a row, and the disaster in Shuzhong expanded, and some refugees made trouble in the capital.
In the court, Tuoba Chen looked at the fold in his hand, his face was purple and ugly, he threw things on the top fiercely, Tuoba Yue stood tall and jade, and the ground of white marble reflected his red clothes, as if he had stepped on a cloud of red mist under his feet.
Above the court of hundreds of people, there was silence at this time, and even a needle falling on the ground seemed to be heard, and everyone was breathing, for fear that if one was not careful, the anger of the Son of Heaven would burn to his head, only Tuoba Yue's body was wanton and free, which was incompatible with the tense anger in the court.
"Xu Shao!" Tuoba Chen's angry and corrupt way.
The owl's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and everyone felt as if they had been scraped by a knife.
"Back to Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu and others are still in Shu." Someone came out of the queue and bowed.
"What to do in Shu? Refugees have poured into my capital, what the hell is he doing, what about the embankment? Why can't the dams built withstand even this little rainstorm with the disaster relief funds that I have allocated in the past? Come on, hurry up and go to Shuzhong to spread the message, let Xu Shao give me a good explanation! With that, he got up, stroked his sleeves and left.
Everyone said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
When Tuoba Chen left the Taihe Palace, everyone started to talk about it, and there were a lot of people around Prime Minister Lan on the third and outer three floors, everyone expressed their opinions, and the scene was very lively for a while, Tuoba Yue straightened his sleeves, turned around and left, but he didn't want Lan Zhili's voice to come from behind him: "His Royal Highness King Xian, please stay." ”
Tuoba Yue turned around with his hand and looked at Lan Zhili, and the people around him also got out of the way with great interest, but everyone had their ears pricked up, and their eyes were full of exploration, which may be for the sake of face, otherwise they would like to stick to Tuoba Yue and Lan Zhili's bodies and listen to what they say.
"Oh? Prime Minister Lan called this king to stop, but is there something wrong? Tuoba Yue frowned slightly, as if he was really puzzled. With a little doubt in his eyes, Lan Zhili looked at Tuoba Yue and said, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Xian really not the slightest thought or suggestion about this matter?" ”
Hearing Lan Zhili's words, Tuoba Yue laughed, the curvature of the corners of his lips swayed and bewildered, and he smiled: "Prime Minister Lan is really joking, where does this king know these things, this is a matter within this division, this king still doesn't know how to deal with it, and the rest of the things naturally have to be worried about important ministers like you who hold real power." ”
After saying this, he rubbed his forehead a little delicately and said, "This king is unwell, so let's take the first step." ”
With a wave of his crimson sleeves, he strode away, leaving only everyone looking at each other, and someone murmured, "What does this His Royal Highness the Virtuous King mean?" ”
"What can it mean, when you are the shopkeeper, it doesn't matter." Someone replied.
Lan Zhili's face was as usual, and he waved his hand to interrupt everyone's discussion: "That's it, we just need to do our own thing, and wait until Xu Shangshu returns to the court." ”
His words were so powerful that immediately the people stopped talking about it, and everyone said yes, and they dispersed in twos and threes.
Lan Zhili looked at Tuoba Yue's back, and wondered in his heart, there was one thing he was doubting, maybe not only he was doubting, but His Majesty should also be doubting.
That is, Xu Shao could not let these refugees enter Beijing and ignore it. So who were these dozens of refugees secretly sent into the capital? It seems to have appeared out of thin air, and now that the city is full of turmoil, someone must be fueling the trouble.
But seeing that Tuoba Yue looked completely uninterested, Lan Zhili only felt that he was too careful.
On the other side, Tuoba Chen returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall angrily, and saw the maid Qiao'er beside the queen waiting outside the hall, Fuqing looked at the little eunuch standing at the bottom of the steps, the little eunuch stepped forward in two steps, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the queen said that the Internal Affairs Office has newly entered some Toshiba, knowing that Your Majesty is worried today, she specially boiled medicinal food." ”
Tuoba Chen snorted coldly with a condensed expression: "The queen knows a lot. ”
This sentence made Qiao'er, who was kneeling aside, a little frightened, and she didn't sweat in her heart, she smiled curtly: "The queen mother saw that Her Majesty had not arrived at the harem for a few days, and she saw it by chance that day, and she also felt that Her Majesty seemed to be emaciated, so she was worried." ”
A gust of wind passed by, Qiao'er only felt that the bright yellow clothes flashed in front of her, so she walked towards the hall, and actually threw her own behind her, and the passing wind swept the tail of her words and dissipated.
In the hall, hearing the news, Lan Ruo hurriedly got up to take over, and as soon as Tuoba Chen Fang entered the hall, he really smelled a fragrance.
Looking towards the top, there were several small and delicate soup cups on the table between them, and the closer they got, the stronger the fragrance became.
"Concubine see Your Majesty-" Lan Ruo bowed down with a gentle face, Tuoba Chen helped her up, took her hand to the front of the case and said: "I heard the little eunuch outside the palace say that the queen is really well-intentioned, and I have really wronged you these days." ”
Lan Ruo's eyes turned red and said: "The concubine is not wronged, what to do for Your Majesty, the concubine is willing, but Your Majesty-" She snuggled up to Tuoba Chen's arms, and her cardamom white fingers pressed against the folds of Tuoba Chen's eyebrows, and said with some distress: "Your Majesty has to take care of yourself, Your Majesty is Ruo'er's dependence, and it is also Ruo'er's heaven." ”
Tuoba Chen's original anger was soothed by Lan Ruo so lightly, and he took Lan Ruo into his arms.
