Chapter 84: Epiphany (5)
Chu Xue led the sedan chair man to go around, but Lin Yuan was silent for a long time, raised his hand and stopped: "Don't go yet." Ling Ji, is there a pavilion around here? Let's go sit down for a while. ”
An Lingji was slightly surprised: "It's late at night, it's better to go back to the palace early." ”
"Don't rush yet." Lin Yuan insisted, turned around and called An Gui forward: "Father-in-law Gui, this concubine is very tired and can't go anymore." You help find a proper child, and Concubine Ben and Ling Ji go to rest for a while. ”
An Gui was also very surprised, in his opinion, Hui Concubine was not so tired that she was not even comfortable riding in a sedan chair. However, he got along with Lin Yuan a lot, knew the other party's temper, and immediately ordered the palace people to come without saying much. Not far from here, there is a "Linfang Water Pavilion", the place is a little smaller, and the scenery is not bad. An Gui led the way, and a group of attendants escorted the two little masters over.
The palace people neatly spread blankets on the bamboo chairs, and Lin Yuan and An Lingji sat down, but unfortunately where would tea be prepared in the middle of the night, the two had to sit quietly.
An Gui and a group of attendants were guarding outside, and Lin Yuan waved his hand, causing several palace maids to retreat outside. An Lingji rubbed a broken nail on his hand and asked in a low voice, "Niangniang didn't return to the palace, did she have other considerations?" ”
Lin Yuan was a little tired, closed her eyes and nodded, but did not speak. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at the place where the noble man was, only to find that it was already empty.
"Is Ren Guiren gone?"
"Just left." Chu Xue said on the side: "Look at it like that, it was Ren who was not lightly injured, so he stopped to check for a while." But soon he was gone. The imperial doctor summoned by Niangniang had already gone directly to the Lintoe Palace. ”
"She's in a hurry." Lin Yuan's voice was flat.
"The mother still cares about what she does." An Lingji was still fiddling with her nails, and finally left two inches long, but in the chaos in the flower garden, someone hit the wall and broke it alive. She stroked her fingers very regretfully, and gossiped with Lin Yuan: "How is Ren Guiren, what does it have to do with us." Walking in the palace is like walking on thin ice, we can only be thoughtful about ourselves, how can we think about others. ”
An Lingji still remembers that in the month when she first entered the palace, Ren and He were the most favored, and they came to practice her.
"Well said." Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "We all have to be good and thoughtful." ”
Linfang Water Pavilion is said to be a small pavilion, in fact, it can be regarded as an attic, there is a large room with three wall holes in the pavilion, and there is an inner room with a heavy curtain to block the wind and rain, and the concubines are allowed to enjoy the scenery and rest on weekdays. Lin Yuan and An Lingji were sitting in the inner room at this time, and An Gui and the attendants were guarding outside.
There was no one around, An Gui was far away, An Lingji took the opportunity to whisper to Lin Yuan: "Niangniang refuses to go back, is the road not smooth?" ”
"Has there ever been peace in this palace?" Lin Yuan asked rhetorically, with a sneer in her words: "Tonight is an eventful autumn, and in the epiphany garden, even the emperor can see that someone is deliberately dealing with me." It's a pity that my life is safe and sound, and that man doesn't know how sad he should be. ”
"She's not completely fruitless, Niangniang, you didn't see Ye Guiji's ghostly appearance, covered in blood, it's just scared to death." An Lingji said that she was still afraid: "Fortunately, I arrived early, if I was a few steps late, she wouldn't have survived." It's just that I hated that Zhao Shuji was very slippery and couldn't catch her handle. ”
When An Lingji found the Ye family, the Zhao family on the side was safe and sound, how not to make people suspicious. It's just that the few words that Zhao distinguished in front of the emperor are reasonable, so that people have to believe it. At that time, the scene was chaotic, and it was very difficult for Tuoba Hong to verify. If Ye Guiji can't provide any valuable clues, this matter can only be pushed to the snake in the end.
"Zhao Shuji is also pitiful, who is willing to risk killing someone unless it is absolutely necessary." Lin Yuan sighed: "It's not her who wants the lives of me and the Ye family, she is just a chess piece." If the matter is revealed, she will bear the brunt of the blame, and she will not be able to escape death. ”
An Lingji fell silent. If you are not favored, are those who are favored really better? All the glory and wealth need to be exchanged for a huge price.
"Ye Guiji can be regarded as picking up a life, but you must never mention what you saw in the flower garden today in the future, in a vain attempt to fight against the Zhao family." Lin Yuan instructed An Lingji in a low voice: "You don't have full evidence at all, the power behind the Zhao clan is not something you can challenge, so you just treat it as if this incident didn't happen." ”
An Lingji nodded yes, and said unwillingly: "He Lianji, Zhao Shuji, sooner or later I will find an opportunity to trample them under my feet." ”
"Although Ye Guiji was seriously injured, she was still alive, and the villain did not achieve his goal. Besides, compared to Ye's, my big fish missing the net is the biggest loss. Lin Yuan's index finger tapped lightly on the small table: "I can't leave now, let's wait another hour." With what I know about that person, she won't give up if she can't do it, and there must be a trick waiting for me. ”
At this moment, a little palace maid rushed over from the entrance of the alley.
Lin Yuan and An Lingji sat quietly in the pavilion, and through the window sash, they could only see a black shadow panting and running all the way. Lin Yuan and An Shi's hearts tightened, and they fixed their eyes on the comer, but the palace maid had no intention of staying at all, and ran over from the pavilion in an instant.
"Who is so eager......" Before An Lingji finished speaking, the palace maid turned around and ran back. She glanced at An Gui, grabbed the hem of An Gui's clothes and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law Gui, it's really good that you are here!" Quick, go and save our little master, our little master has an accident......"
An Gui was puzzled for a while: "Who is the little master of your family?" ”
"It's Ren Guiren, Ren Guiren has an accident, and the slave maid is going to Jianzhang Palace to invite the emperor!" The little palace maid was a little incoherent, and wiped her tears on the wall: "Father-in-law Gui, please take me to see the emperor." ”
At this time, Lin Yuan picked up the curtain and came out. She squinted her eyes and saw that this palace maid was the person who came out with the Ren family today. She walked down the steps with An Lingji and raised her voice: "You speak slowly, don't rush. What happened to Ren Guiren? In the middle of the night, how could you easily disturb the emperor. ”
The little palace maid was sent out for help, and she ran to Jianzhang Palace with all her heart, but she didn't expect to meet An Gui halfway. Later, when she saw Hui Concubine and An Lingji again, she immediately felt hope in her heart, and regardless of her master's suspicion with Hui Concubine on weekdays, she knelt at the feet of Hui Concubine and cried: "Hui Concubine Niangniang, please save Ren Guiren." The sedan chair that the noble man was riding in had just fallen in front of the gate of Huayang Palace, and the noble man had shed a lot of blood, and if there was no one to help, she would definitely die. Ask for a concubine ......"
Lin Yuan is not an ignorant and simple girl, whether it is death or killing, she is used to it, and she will not be moved by the pleading of the little palace maid. Her face was calm as usual and said, "Concubine Fang saw that Ren Guiren seemed to be unwell not far away, so she stopped, but left quickly. This concubine has already asked the imperial doctor to wait in the Linzhi Palace, you might as well go back to the Linzhi Palace to ask for help. In addition, Concubine Jing, the lord of Huayang Palace, was ordered to deal with the chaos in the flower garden, and she was still busy in the epiphany flower garden at this time, so you can also go and ask her to call the shots. ”
After a pause and a glance at the palace people standing around, Lin Yuan said to An Gui: "Father-in-law Gui, listening to what this palace maid said, I'm afraid that it will be bad for Ren Guiren." The concubine was pregnant, it was inconvenient to help, the emperor had a military event, and the queen went to bed early. You take a few people and go to the epiphany flower garden to find Concubine Jing. He also instructed Xiao Chengzi: "You have fast legs and feet, Fang Cai is the imperial doctor you went to invite, this time I will go to the Linzhi Palace again, go with this little palace maid, and take the imperial doctor to the place where Ren Guiren had an accident." ”
Lin Yuan is a thoughtful person, and the arrangement at this time is not inappropriate, An Gui praised repeatedly: "It's still Niangniang who is good at directors, and the slave will go." ”
The little palace maid didn't expect that Concubine Hui would do her best to help, and she was grateful for a while, kneeling in front of Lin Yuan and kowtowing repeatedly. Lin Yuan helped her and said calmly: "You don't have to thank me, I help you and myself." ”
Lin Yuan expected that the road ahead was thrilling, and even after seeing Ren Guiren, she and An Shi were waiting here, just to try the danger with Ren Guiren.
The palace is full of murderous machines, just as An said, it is difficult to protect himself, where can he care about the life and death of others. If there was no noble person to explore her way, she and An would have returned to the palace rashly, and now she would have had an accident.
Lin Yuan and Ren have no deep hatred, why should they be ruthless for no reason, but she has no other way to survive for herself. Between one's own life and the life of others, no matter how kind and benevolent a person is, he or she has to make a wise choice.
It's just that I never thought that Ren Guiren would have an accident so soon. Lin Yuan saw Ren halfway, and he didn't return to the palace late at night, which inevitably became a loophole in the eyes of those who care. If she doesn't save Ren again, won't it be even more confusing.
The little palace maid didn't have time to delay, thanked Lin Yuan for a few words, and quickly ran away with Xiao Chengzi. Lin Yuan put together her coat and asked Chu Xue, "What time is it?" ”
"Three more moments." Hatsuyuki looked up at the sky: "It's the darkest time of the night." ”
Lin Yuan and An Lingji didn't move, just stood quietly outside the pavilion. After waiting for a while, Concubine Jing over there had already led the mighty palace people over, and seeing that Lin Yuan was here, she took a few steps forward and said, "Why didn't you two go back to the palace?" ”
"The concubine was frightened in the flower garden, and she was very tired, and her back hurt when she rode in a sedan chair, so she stopped to rest." Lin Yuan's rhetoric had been thought of a long time ago. An Lingji followed: "The concubine and Concubine Hui Niangniang walked together, and stayed here to take care of Niangniang." ”
Concubine Jing nodded, didn't delve into it, her face softened and said, "Something happened to Ren Guiren, I'm afraid Concubine Hui is scared, right?" Let's go, this palace specially brought half of the guards to come over, there are so many people, this palace doesn't believe that there will be any harmful demons and monsters on this road. ”
Lin Yuan doesn't deal with Concubine Jing on weekdays, but this time she is glad that Concubine Jing can stand up as a director. The guards who followed all around were the emperor's people, and in full view of everyone, and An Gui followed, Concubine Jing would never dare to think crookedly against her.
