Chapter 258: Rumors Spread (2)
He Xi buried his head deeply, but Tuoba Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The seventh brother is here?" ”
Tuoba Yue hummed softly, the voice sounded weak, but it hit her heart, but he just wanted her to escape.
Xu was aware of He Xi's abnormality, Tuoba Chen shook her hand and said, "Why are your fingers so cold?" But not feeling well? ”
He Xi shook his head with a smile, took a deep breath and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the concubine is just suddenly a little uneasy in her heart, why did Your Majesty summon His Royal Highness King Xian to the palace of the concubine?" ”
Tuoba Yue found a place to sit down and said, "Oh? It seems that the Xi nobles still don't know? ”
There was a hint of exploration and irony in that voice, He Xi's heart moved, and he raised his face and said, "Then according to the meaning of His Royal Highness King Xian, what should the concubine know?" ”
After a moment's effort, He Xi also noticed that he was wrong, coughed lightly, Tuoba Chen also noticed that something was wrong, he helped He Xi speak: "Yesterday's incident, I didn't let the superfluous people know, and on the queen's side, I also let people block the news, and it should be that I don't know." ”
Seeing the two talking, He Xi only felt as if something had happened, and she said, "What happened in the palace?" ”
Tuoba Yue said: "I heard that there was a death in Mrs. Miao's palace last night, and then Concubine Hui said that she saw a ghost. ”
He Xi frowned slightly, looked at Tuoba Chen and repeated: "Ghost? ”
Tuoba Chen sighed and nodded: "Yes, I stayed in Concubine Hui's palace all night last night, and Concubine Hui's fetal image was unstable, obviously frightened. ”
He Xi's doubts were even deeper, and suddenly, she reacted and said: "Your Majesty, let His Royal Highness King Xian come down, and I want to see Mama Yu again, is it a suspicious concubine?" ”
Tuoba Chen coughed lightly and said: "It's not that I am suspicious, but this matter is really similar to the matter of the Chuxiu Palace at the beginning, it was the two of you who investigated it at that time, and today I also want to see if there are any clues that can be investigated." ”
When Mama Yu heard this, she immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty is clear, the old slave has been in the room last night, and there is no chance to commit a crime at all, besides, the old slave is old, this leg is still useless, how can he kill people, Your Majesty is clear, the prince is clear." ”
He Xi couldn't bear it in his heart, Tuoba Yue glanced at the look on He Xi's face lightly, and then turned his head to Tuoba Chen and said: "Brother Huang, at first, the courtier brother also thought that it was related to the affairs of the original sin slave mansion, but now when he sees Mama Yu like this, he dispelled his doubts, not to mention that Mama Yu is old, but now Mama Yu's leg, how can she go from Yiyue Palace to Luhua Palace in a short period of time?" ”
Tuoba Chen nodded, and said to Ruyi on the side: "Okay, I just ask routinely, Ruyi, you take Mama Yu down first." ”
Ruyi bowed his head and walked down with Mama Yu, who was limping.
He Xi was silent for a while, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Since Your Majesty also believes in the concubine, can you tell the concubine about the situation at that time." ”
When this incident happened, Tuoba Chen was still at the scene, and when he said that the palace maid's head was hung in front of the palace gate, He Xi frowned and said, "Your Majesty sent someone to check the palace maid's life experience?" ”
Tuoba Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”
Of course, He Xi didn't believe that it was a ghost, especially the ghost of the first queen, and the palace people in the sin slave house at that time just wanted to seek justice for the first queen, but at this time, the people in the sin slave house were all exiled, only Mama Yu was alone, naturally there was no way to complete this series of plans, so the person who has the ability to complete all this must be the person who knows the grievances of the first queen, she faintly guessed in her heart, she leaned over and said: "If Your Majesty can trust the concubine, the concubine is willing to assist the queen to investigate this matter." ”
Tuoba Chen sighed and said: "This is the reason why I summoned King Xian into the palace today, this matter is extraordinary, involving the past, if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably have serious consequences, the queen is now pregnant with a dragon heir, it is not easy to work, Concubine Hui is frightened again, I look at this palace, there is only you." ”
He Xi suddenly, it turned out that Tuoba Chen wanted to let himself and Tuoba Yue cooperate to investigate this murder again, but I don't know why, He Xi's heart was a little repulsed and sad, her smile became far-fetched, Tuoba Chen saw this, couldn't help frowning, he said: "The imperial brother can trust the younger brother, and the younger brother will definitely live up to the imperial brother's trust." ”
Tuoba Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It just so happens that in recent days, because of the birthday of Concubine De, I have been busy, I believe you." ”
He Xi saw that the matter was certain, so he could only lean over and take the order: "The concubine must live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
Tuoba Chen nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly got up and said: "Okay, I still have to go back to deal with the affairs of the envoys, if you have any needs, just tell Fuqing that Fuqing will naturally tell me." ”
He Xi and Tuoba Yue got up together and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
When Tuoba Chen left Lingxiu Palace, Fu Qing said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to let the prince get involved?" ”
Tuoba Chen looked at the door of Lingxiu Palace, gilded and said, "Because I don't want him to get involved in other incidents." Fuqing repeated puzzledly: "Something else? ”
Tuoba Chen laughed and said: "I got Xiliang's letter of state a few days ago, this time Concubine De's birthday, the regent of Xiliang will come in person, I must personally greet him, as for him, just help me deal with the harem affairs, by the way, you are empty to go to Weiyang Palace for me, send some soothing incense to the past, just say that I said, this matter, the queen does not have to care, it is good to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and give birth to a prince for me." ”
Fuqing hurriedly possessed: "Your Majesty feels sorry for Niangniang, the slave must do it." ”
As he spoke, he followed Tuoba Chen all the way in the direction of the imperial study. At this time, in the Lingxiu Palace, the two sat opposite each other, He Xi didn't speak, Tuoba Yue didn't speak, the two were so silent opposite each other, there was a very ugly atmosphere in the air, and finally, He Xi couldn't help but stand up and said: "Since the prince and I have been assigned a task, let's go to Mrs. Miao's palace to investigate first." ”
She got up, but heard Tuoba Yue's voice sounding faintly behind her: "Why didn't you do it?" ”
He Xi was stunned, turned around blankly and asked, "What did the prince say?" ”
Tuoba Yue raised his head from the teacup in front of him and repeated: "I said, why not you?" ”
Seeing that He Xi seemed puzzled, Tuoba Yue smiled coldly: "Yes, now you can't wait to share these things for him earlier, don't you let him worry?" ”
He Xi didn't know what Tuoba Yue would say, but turned around and said coldly: "It seems that the prince has misunderstood the concubine, the concubine just wants to find the person who uses Mu Jin's identity behind the scenes, not his intention, if the prince doesn't want to find out, you can go back to your palace." ”
He Xi didn't know where the anger came from, as soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little, she had always prided herself on being calm, but after that incident, she had a strange emotion towards Tuoba Yue, so that she couldn't calmly face the kind of mutual use between him and her to achieve the purpose of the relationship.
She took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, we may be able to use this matter to make it bigger." Everyone knows it. ”
He Xi turned his head to look at him and said, "What does the prince mean?" ”
Tuoba Yue still looked like he didn't care about anything, but what he said made He Xi's eyes redden, and he said, "He Xi, maybe the matter of Mu Wangfu can be wronged." ”
He Xi's fingers trembled slightly, she didn't know what to say at this moment, only one sentence kept rushing around in her mind, Mu Wangfu could be wronged.
He Xi felt that from the day she survived, it seemed that she was looking forward to this day every day, but when this day was really within reach, He Xi didn't dare to reach out and hug it.
At that moment, she felt that her cowardice, cowardice, came up like an endless tide and swallowed herself.
Tuoba Yue said without any confusion: "No matter who is behind this matter, since he wants to use this matter to provoke the past, we will plan it, in the court, I will arrange someone to do it, as for the harem, it will depend on you." ”
He Xi frowned slightly and said: "However, now there is only Zhang Minyuan in the court, who can be said by your subordinates, if he is allowed to come forward, it will inevitably not make Tuoba Chen suspicious, no, it is too risky." ”
Tuoba Yue smiled very evilly: "Don't worry, I have my own plans." ”
You can rest assured, these three words seem to be a pair of warm and powerful big hands, dragging all He Xi's anxieties up gently and gently, comforting her, and calming her down, she smiled unconsciously, and after sending Mama Yu away as expected, she waited under the corridor, and no one in the hall served.
She turned her head and glanced at the two people standing opposite each other, maybe He Xi didn't know, maybe Tuoba Yue didn't know, but Ruyi could see the doting look on Tuoba Yue's face, He Xi's kind of trust, she had never seen these two people show the same emotions in front of others, at that time she didn't know what kind of emotion this was, many years later, He Xi told her with a smile that it was at the bottom of the abyss at the same time, supporting and relying on each other, it was sympathy, and it was the warmth of each other's hearts.
The haunted matter of the palace, although the emperor strictly ordered not to publicize it, but the news is still like an autumn mood that cannot be hidden, slowly flowing away, and the strange has gradually withdrawn from the fright, but the body is still not good, and the whole person is not as fresh as before, more like a lonely yellow leaf hanging from the branches in early autumn, like a gust of wind, which can blow her down and fall into the dust. It's so weak, it's delicate, it's moving.
