Chapter 214: Secret Aid (4)
"Fuqing-" Tuoba Chen called out in a deep voice, and Fuqing immediately stepped forward and said, "The slave is here-"
Tuoba Chen said coldly: "Who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping Yiyue Palace yesterday?" ”
Fuqing briefly thought about it, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, this Yiyue Palace is set up by the Internal Affairs Bureau. The subordinates of Yiyue Palace, except for the Spring Peach Girl, who was personally rewarded to Mrs. Miao by His Majesty, the rest of the people were also allocated by the Internal Affairs Office according to their share of profits. ”
Hearing Fuqing say this, Shu Miao cried more and more, and she said: "Your Majesty, this matter is because the concubine doesn't understand the rules in the palace, but the concubine really doesn't think this matter is a coincidence, and asks Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine." ”
Tuoba Chen wanted to get closer to comfort Shumiao, but he unconsciously remembered the redness and swelling on her face in his mind, stopped his body, coughed lightly, and said softly: "This matter, I will naturally find out, you can rest assured, Fuqing, who is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office now?" ”
Fuqing hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it turns out that Li Zhong was executed after that incident, and the person who is taking over now is Li Zhong's subordinate named Sun Xiang, who is also an old man." ”
Tuoba Chen snorted coldly and said, "Old man? Even if you are an old man, you should not make such a mistake and call Sun Xiang to me, I have something to ask him. ”
Shu Miao narrowed her expression, hiding the light in her eyes, and she asked a little timidly: "I heard that Your Majesty went to Sister Xi today, and the concubine was sick here, and Your Majesty came to leak fluid, didn't you wronged your sister?" ”
Tuoba Chen played with the cup in his hand, sighed for a long time, raised his eyes, looked at Shu Miao fixedly, and felt that he was uncomfortable, and said with a sneering head: "Your Majesty, why do you look at the concubine like this?" ”
Hearing this, Tuoba Chen retracted his gaze, continued to look at the tea in the cup, and said loudly: "I don't know, when did you become so close to He Xi?" Or, isn't it true that I came to your palace today as you expected? ”
She peeked at Tuoba Chen, but she didn't see any displeasure on his face, such accusations and jokes were really ugly.
She groaned slightly, then lowered her eyes a little shyly and said: "Your Majesty, if you can, the concubine naturally wants you to stay in the palace of the concubine every day, but since you have entered this harem and married the emperor, the concubine will know the rules of rain and dew, but——"
"But what?" Tuoba Chen seemed to be very curious about the answer.
Shu Miao smiled lightly and said: "It's just that no matter how Rao is concubine tells herself, Your Majesty should be the Majesty of the entire harem and the Majesty of the whole world, but selfishness is always uncontrollable, and I want Your Majesty to pay more attention to the concubines." ”
Shu Miao is so down-and-out and generous, but admitted that he intended to invite Tuoba Chen over today, seeing Tuoba Chen's face sank, Shu Miao said: "It's just that Your Majesty, the concubine's heart is flustered, deep in this unrelated harem, the only thing the concubine can rely on is Your Majesty, especially, if the concubine ruins her face, Your Majesty will not come to the concubine's palace again, and the concubine is planning to see Your Majesty again." As he spoke, he seemed to touch on the sad matter again, and cried chokedly, and the anger and suspicion in Tuoba Chen's original heart were dispelled in this way.
In fact, there are not a few people in the harem who have such thoughts, but how many people are willing to admit that they are just to get their own favor and attention?
He said softly, "Okay, didn't the Imperial Doctor say that washing and washing will heal?" Why did you think about it again? But today, fortunately, this is Xi Guiren, she has always been generous and generous, and she doesn't want to worry about you, if it is someone else, I am afraid that you are making trouble for yourself. ”
Although Shu Miao lowered her head and cried, the calculation in her eyes did not decrease at all, she said: "The concubine knows, Sister Xi is a good person, and thanks to Sister Xi's help that day, she will not make jokes, Your Majesty can rest assured, the concubine should go to her sister to apologize at that time." ”
Tuoba Chen talked about He Xi, and couldn't help but say with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "There is no need to apologize, it seems that you have a part, if you have nothing to do, you can go to Lingxiu Palace for a walk, I often like to go there, peace of mind." ”
Shu Miao nodded, it was a good answer, and at this time Fuqing replied outside: "Your Majesty, Sun Xiang has arrived." ”
Tuoba Chen immediately smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Bring it in." ”
Sun Xiang quickly followed Fuqing into the inner hall, saw Tuoba Chen and Shu Miao, and knelt on the ground with a panicked face and said in a deep voice: "Sin slave Sun Xiang See Your Majesty, Mrs. Miao, Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Tuoba Chen put the cup in his hand on the table, and made a crisp crashing sound, the sound was soft, but in such a night, in such a quiet hall, it seemed a little weird.
Tuoba Chen said: "Sun Xiang, what are you guilty of?" ”
Sun Xiang reacted very quickly, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the servant has already heard when he came that Mrs. Miao has lost her face because she accidentally ate the poisonous fish vine, and the minion, as the head of the Internal Affairs Office, has the responsibility of not investigating, so she is guilty." ”
Tuoba Chen sneered and said, "Is it just the responsibility of not investigating?" ”
The cold sweat on Sun Xiang's forehead was fine and dense, and he could only lie on the ground and say in a loud voice: "The slave is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Tuoba Chen said: "I heard that you are very close to Weiyang Palace Dao?" ”
Sun Xiang's heart became more and more empty, he took his breath, and tried to calm himself before he said: "The queen mother is in charge of the six palaces, and not all the big and small matters in this palace are decided by the slaves, so the slaves often go to ask for their lives. ”
These words are not leaky, even if Tuoba Chen wants to embarrass him about this matter, he can't say it, Tuoba Chen smiled, compared to the previous lustful, but it will only tend to be inflammatory, and Li Zhong, who has a whisker and a horse, this Sun Xiang is a smart one.
There was a smile on Tuoba Chen's face, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I also believe you, I don't know about this matter, but now I give you two days to find the culprit of this matter and hand it over to Mrs. Miao to deal with, is it difficult?" ”
Sun Xiang didn't expect Chu Tuoba Chen to reveal it so gently, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave has received the order, and he will definitely give His Majesty and Mrs. Miao a satisfactory answer." ”
Tuoba Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”
Shu Miao didn't say a word from beginning to end, and now seeing that Tuoba Chen was like this, he let Sun Xiang go, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something. Chun Tao on the side saw it and was busy: "The little master has abdominal pain again?" The slave and maid pour a cup of ginseng tea for the little master. ”
Tuoba Chen came back to his senses, looked at Shu Miao, and really saw that her expression was a little strange, and he asked with concern: "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come back and have a look?" ”
Shu Miao opened his mouth and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty-"
At this time, Chun Tao brought a bowl of ginseng soup and said: "Little master, the tea is here, the slave knows that the little master is uncomfortable, and after drinking this ginseng tea, it will be much better." ”
Shu Miao glanced at Chun Tao, and saw Chun Tao look back at herself deeply, and then retreated.
Shu Miao sighed in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, don't bother, Xu is that the toxins have not been cleared yet, didn't the imperial doctor say it, it's not a big problem, just take a rest for the concubine." ”
Tuoba Chen nodded, stood up and said: "That's okay, it's not early today, you can rest early, you can give the queen a few days to ask for peace, when is it, it's okay to go again." ”
Shu Miao straightened up, bowed softly, and sent Tuoba Chen away as a salute.
Seeing Tuoba Chen walk away, Shu Miaocai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Chun Tao: "Go and get the bronze mirror." ”
Chun Tao hurriedly took it and handed it to Shu Miao's hand, and Shu Miao carefully took off the veil, revealing some hideous and terrifying cheeks inside.
Chun Tao was also distressed for a while, and she said, "The little master has suffered this time. Shu Miao put down the bronze mirror and said coldly: "The queen is so cruel to me, but I can't retaliate with a tooth, I'm really angry." ”
Chun Tao sighed and said, "Since the little lord knows that this is done by the queen's mother, how can Your Majesty not know?" Your Majesty's approach today is to cover up this matter, and you must always know Your Majesty's intentions when you serve Your Majesty in the future. ”
Shu Miao naturally knew that what Chun Tao said made sense, but when she thought of it, the queen made her ugly one after another, and she felt as if she was being burned by fire.
She snorted coldly and said, "One day, I will get it back with interest." ”
Chun Tao nodded and said no more.
Early the next morning, He Xi had breakfast and went to the queen's palace to say goodbye, and there were not as many people today as there were those on that day, even Xu Qing'er asked for leave because of her physical inconvenience and did not come.
However, Lan Xin arrived early, and when she saw He Xi coming in with Ruyi, she sneered: "Yo, how can the noble Xi look energetic today, is it possible that there is some happy event?" ”
He Xi just smiled, didn't speak, just asked the queen for Wan'an, and then quietly sat in his seat.
Lan Ruo seemed to be in a very good mood, she looked He Xi up and down and said: "It's really not Concubine Hui talking nonsense, this palace looks, the Xi nobles seem to be very different today, is it really like Concubine Hui said, is this person in good spirits on happy occasions?" ”
Before He Xi could speak, she heard a spy voice ringing in her ears, He Xi turned her head and saw a flowery person, she laughed twice.
Then he said: "The queen mother and the concubine are really discerning, this Xi nobleman, there is really a happy event." ”
Lan Xin sighed and asked, "What?" Does Rui know about it? ”
He Xi saw that he didn't need to say anything, so he sat up straight and watched them sing.
