Chapter 254: Respect each other
The water in the Deyang Hall was lost, and it burned to the most inconspicuous east wing. The five wings burned to the ground under the fire that only the frame remained.
Lingxi walked into the courtyard of the Deyang Palace, and saw the fire scene that was still emitting wisps of choking white smoke and sometimes making one or two crackling sounds, and knew that this fire was done by man. And the control is extremely in place, otherwise I am afraid that at this time, the entire Deyang Hall has been buried in a sea of fire.
Xiao Yingzi lowered her head and said to Lingxi, "Niangniang, the noble concubine and the five princesses and five princes are all waiting for you in the inner hall." ”
Lingxi snorted and began to grind his teeth in his heart. When she was outside to harvest the fruits of victory, she didn't want Xian Guifei to take her hometown behind. It's really a careless move, and you lose all the games!
Holding the hand of the lotus leaf into the Deyang Palace, standing in the outer hall are several palace maids and grandmothers who serve the five princesses and the five princes on weekdays.
When these people saw Lingxi coming back, Du Fu bowed down to salute, and Ben's tense expression eased slightly.
Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept slightly, and saw that except for Xia Qing and Xia Tong, everyone else was actually there.
Lotus Ye glanced at a few people, and those people hurriedly retreated outside the Deyang Palace.
In the inner hall, a noble concubine dressed in orange and red is sitting on a low kang and eating tea slowly. In her arms, sitting was the fifth prince who was playing with a silver step.
The fifth prince was young, and he kept shaking with that step, so frightened that Xia Qing, who was guarding the side, turned pale, and his body trembled from time to time with the movements of the fifth prince.
Hanyan stood not far from Xian Guifei, her little face was tense, and a pair of apricot eyes stared at Xian Guifei, as if she was going to eat Xian Guifei.
At the door of the dormitory, standing were Hanyu and Xia Tong with tight little faces. The two stood side by side, protecting the five princesses tightly behind them. It seems that as long as the noble concubine glances over, there will be a knife with a blade shot at the fifth princess.
Lingxi entered the inner hall and saw the posture in front of him, and knew in his heart that the noble concubine had come to return with him.
The fifth princess saw Lingxi coming in and shouted at Lingxi, "Mother." ”
Xian Guifei raised her head slightly when she heard the cry of the fifth princess, and when she saw Lingxi, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't get up to salute, but only smiled faintly, "My sister is back?" The minions in your palace are really lazy, if it weren't for the fact that I saw a fire in the direction of the Deyang Hall from afar, I am afraid that the five princes on the tip of your heart would have followed the fire at this time. ”
Lingxi let go of the lotus leaf's hand, walked to the dwarf kang and sat on the side of the concubine, looking at the concubine and smiled softly, "The servants in my palace are indeed lazy, and they dare not stop anyone even if they blatantly come in and set fire." I want to let my sister worry about you, throw down the three princes and eight princes in the palace, and go to my sister's palace to preside over the overall situation. ”
Xian Guifei looked up at Lingxi and chuckled, "Why does my sister say so politely, you and I are like sisters, shouldn't I help you?" ”
Lingxi sneered in his heart and handed his gaze to the fifth prince in the arms of the noble concubine. It's okay not to look at it, but when I looked at it, I found that the silver step that the five princes were playing with was unusually sharp.
His heart tightened, and a trace of killing intent flashed in Lingxi's eyes, and he understood why the servants in the hall were so nervous.
Seeing Lingxi's gaze falling on the five princes, Xian Guifei laughed lightly, raised her eyebrows and praised, "The fifth prince is really a lovely child, between his eyebrows and eyes, he looks like you more than the emperor." is not like the three princes, only when you look at the side of your face, you can see the shadow of three points. ”
"Isn't the third prince a cute child?" Lingxi raised his eyes, looked at Xian Guifei and said with a straight smile, "Between you and my sisters, there is no need for too many polite words. Tell me why you are here today. ”
Xian Guifei raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile in her eyes, "My sister is really fast-talking." ”
"With smoke and jade, take the five princesses and the five princes out." Lingxi picked up the teacup in front of Xian Gui Concubine, took a bite and put it back, and said with a smile, "I don't think my sister wants to be disturbed by others when she is continuing with me." ”
Xian Guifei bowed slightly, let go of her left hand that had been wrapped under the armpit of the fifth prince, and Ren Xiaqing stepped forward to take the fifth prince away.
When the five princes left the arms of the noble concubine, Lingxi and the servants in the palace were all relieved in their hearts.
After Hanyan Hanyu took the five princesses and the five princes out, Xian Guifei looked at the lotus leaf who was guarding Lingxi's side and said with a smile, "My sister really raised a good slave, and I follow my sister all day long, I'm afraid I know a lot." ”
"Lotus leaves are naturally muna, and they know some food, clothing, housing and transportation, not like Miaoyue in my sister's palace, that is really a good slave to accompany Hui." Lingxi glanced outside the door of the hall and glanced at the lotus leaf.
Lotus Ye raised her eyes and looked at the noble concubine, then looked at the Lingxi, and then blessed, and said, "The slave maid went to make supper for the mother." ”
After Lotus Ye also went out, Lingxi lowered his face and sneered at Xian Guifei, "I really misjudged you." I didn't expect that in such an extraordinary period, you would be able to use such extraordinary means. ”
"My sister praised me." Xian Guifei raised her head and sneered in the same way, "How can my means be as good as one-ten-thousandth of my sister?" If I don't fight to set a fire in this Deyang Palace, I am afraid that the emperor will beat me into the cold palace, and I will have already arrived at the Half Moon Pavilion at this time. ”
Lingxi raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It turns out that you also know that you have committed a great crime, and you can only spend the rest of your life in the cold palace." ”
"Does it matter if I'm guilty of a great crime?" Xian Guifei raised her right hand and supported the eight-treasure glazed phoenix hairpin on her hair bun, "Since my sister caught Xiao Xingzi's idiot, I know that my sister is waiting for an opportunity to take me and Concubine Ying down in one fell swoop." In the final analysis, it was me and her who were incompetent, and we tossed in this harem for two months, and finally we were forced to fall into a situation where we couldn't turn over. ”
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place?" Lingxi picked up a handkerchief and wiped a mutton fat jade bracelet on his wrist, and said lightly, "The one who harms others will eventually be killed, if you don't want to put me to death, how can you end up like today?" ”
"If I don't hurt you, will you let me live?" Xian Guifei tilted her head and looked at Lingxi, "I really regret letting you stay in this palace......"
"Five years have passed, and now you regret that it was useful?" Lingxi raised his eyes, "I didn't want to worry about that incident with you, I just wanted to live in peace in this harem." It's you who are narrow-minded and don't give me a chance to die. For you like this, what reason do I have to show mercy to let you stand in this harem and be my enemy? Good sister, give me a reason for me to spare you. ”
"Let's go," looking at Lingxi's knife-like eyes, Xian Guifei said a few words in a row. Standing up, she looked up at the gorgeous layout of the Deyang Palace, and said to Lingxi, "Whether I am narrow-minded in my heart, or I have gradually become a stepping stone for you to climb high, it seems that you and I are enemies has become a foregone conclusion." ”
"Not bad. Now that you know, you can get out of here. Lingxi raised his head to see off the guest, and said coldly, "From now on, you and I don't have to behave in a cozy manner, who can stand firm in this harem and laugh for a long time, it all depends on their own skills." ”
"No, no, no! Now is not the time for me to leave. Xian Guifei shook her head again and again, and the golden step on her hair swayed back and forth, "I admit, in terms of means, I am not as good as you, in terms of scheming, I am not as good as you, and in terms of forbearance, I am even worse than you." Now that you have Xiao Xingzi as a witness in your hand, how can you let me go so easily. If I'm not mistaken, you must have also grasped the truth about Situ Xiu's dystocia at this time. Look," Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows at Lingxi and smiled, "I know you better." If it weren't for the fact that you were so sure that you could completely bring me down, how could you do it in the Long Summer Palace? ”
Lingxi looked at the noble concubine in front of him and said calmly, "Yes, I know all the subtle methods you and Imperial Doctor Han have made." ”
"So, if I don't have something in my hand, how can I risk my life to come to your temple and set fire to lure you back?" The smile on the face of the concubine became bewitching, "I am happy that you are dead, but the premise is that I am alive." You have said to me that the glory after death is only for the living. In the same way, what is the use of me coming to victory after death? ”
Lingxi glanced at Xian Guifei contemptuously, raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Then, are you going to threaten me with the matter of the dream?" Yumeng is indeed the princess of Allure's name, but so what? Princess Allure used to live in the palace of the Empress Dowager in the past, and it is a well-known thing to be good friends with me, do you think this matter can threaten me? ”
"What about King Ning?" The smile on the face of the concubine did not decrease, and she continued, "What about your relationship with King Ning? Is it worth it for me to take it out and make a chapter? ”
Lingxi's heart was cold, but there was no change on his face. After her mind turned twice, she pulled the corners of her slightly stiff mouth and argued, "King Ning? My good sister, how many years ago was that? Even if you say it plainly, how much do you think the emperor will believe it? Even if the emperor believes it, he will send me to the cold palace and give me death...... So what? Could it be that the emperor will still dispose of King Ning because of your one-sided words? Lingxi stood up and looked directly at Xian Guifei, "Then, do you think King Ning will let you go?" I'm afraid I can't wait for King Ning to ascend the throne as emperor, my good sister, you're in a different place......"
"Yes," Xian Guifei's face showed a hint of confusion, as if she knocked her forehead with remorse, raised her eyes and smiled at Lingxi, "Look, I'm just not as smart as you, and I can't understand the powerful relationship during this period." What can I do, am I going to let you hold me by the handle in your hand and put me to death? ”
Lingxi snorted coldly, don't look over your head and stop looking at the noble concubine. Lingxi's heart was very worried, and she had to admit that King Ning was indeed her dead end. If the events of the last two months were revealed, she could not imagine the consequences.
People are like that, when they do something wrong, it's like the whole world knows about it.
Xian Guifei looked at Lingxi's tough attitude, suddenly lowered her head and cried, and said with a sad face, "Sister, can't you see how good I am?" Ever since you caught Xiao Xingzi's stupid slave, I know that I have been exposed. Actually, I could have told Concubine Ying about this, so that Concubine Ying could take precautions, but when I visited her in her palace, I added spices to her incense burner that made her sick worse...... Good sister, if it weren't for Concubine Ying's illness and her lack of time to fight wits with you, do you think you would win so easily? ”
Lingxi raised her eyebrows, and her gaze at Xian Guifei became deep. No wonder Concubine Ying didn't know that she had been exposed, and Concubine Xian was behind Concubine Ying.
"Why?" Lingxi asked with a little confusion, "Don't you want to join forces to bring me down?" ”
"Originally, I wanted to bring you down with Concubine Ying." Xian Guifei walked to the dwarf kang and sat down again, and said calmly, "But since you led those two sisters-in-law to the Half Moon Pavilion to make a big fuss, I have regretted it." Instead of working with Concubine Ying to fight half to the death to bring you down, it is better for me to help you bring down Concubine Ying. Then, our sisters joined forces ......"
"Ye Yiling, are you dreaming?" Lingxi interrupted Concubine Xian's words and asked funny, "Between you and me, join forces?" ”
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Xian Guifei raised her head and smiled brightly, "You also told me this sentence." You are already more affectionate than others......"
"Hate is deeper than others! You trapped me in the deep palace for the rest of my life, you robbed my family parents, and you caused me to be beaten into the cold palace......" Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, approached Xian Gui Concubine step by step, poked his finger on Xian Gui Concubine's soft left chest, gritted his teeth and said, "I hate you so much, even if I agree to join forces with you, do you believe it in your heart?" ”
Xian Guifei looked at the tender white fingers poked by Lingxi on her face, and nodded slightly, "Indeed, I can't believe it." If you eat my blood and drink my flesh, then I will believe it out of ten. Removing Lingxi's fingers from her face, the noble concubine sighed, "Then you and I can only respect each other." ”
Lingxi put the finger that had poked the noble concubine in disgust and gently rinsed it in the teacup, and the smile on her face became cruel, "Why should I respect you like a guest?" Now the initiative is in my hands, I want you to give birth to you, I want you to die, you want to die! ”
"Why?" Xian Guifei looked directly at Lingxi and smiled wildly, "Just because you once asked me to send a message to King Rui in the past!" And the reply from King Rui to you, I left it. ”
