Chapter 402: The Yellow Sparrow (12)
Qin Hao almost couldn't help but grab the man's shoulder, and his strength almost crushed the man's shoulder blades, his eyes were red, and he said word by word: "Who do you say?" β
The man was in pain, and hurriedly said: "It hurts-it hurts-it hurts-the subordinates don't know, and the subordinates just heard about it, my lord-"
Qin Hao seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, he let go of the man's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Get outβget outβ"
The man didn't know why Qin Hao reacted so violently, and stumbled out.
Qin Hao sat on the chair dejectedly, as if there was a roar of anger to break through his chest.
Did Xing'er betray him?
When the news reached Hanyue Tower, He Xi was studying a game of chess against the chess game.
The sunspots on the chessboard are trapped in the game, and if they are not careful, they will be wiped out.
Baizi is eyeing the encirclement and suppression, but there is one less opportunity, an opportunity to annihilate Kuroko in one fell swoop.
The two sides were at a stalemate, He Xi watched for a long time, she sneered, moved the sunspot, and suddenly the seemingly solid guard of the entire sunspot suddenly appeared a great flaw, Baizi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the sunspot retreated again and again, but at the last moment, a very inconspicuous sunspot on the edge of this wandering actually cut off the way from which Baizi came.
The situation reversed, Bai Zi was like a trapped beast in a cage, no matter what, he couldn't break free from this restraint, and finally lost.
With a smile in He Xi's eyes, Jiang An came in from outside the door, and when he saw He Xi like this, he suppressed the heaviness on his face, and said with a smile: "Miss, the county lord asks you to take a trip." β
He Xi took the chess pieces on the chessboard little by little, and said with a sigh: "Didn't the Queen Mother give an order, saying that before the wedding, no one was allowed to see the county lord?" β
Jiang An also seemed to be a little puzzled, Ruyi hurriedly came in from outside the hall, whispered something in He Xi's ear, He Xi's smile became deeper and deeper, and said, "Since this is the case, let's go." β
On the other side, in Yikun Palace, Xing'er was lying on the ground covered in scars, and the corners of his mouth almost coughed up blood.
The position of the head should have been the position of the Queen Mother of the West, but she was the old princess.
There was anger in her eyes, and she said sharply: "Fool, look at the good things you have done!" β
Zike handed over a cup of tea at the right time, and said softly: "The master is angry, what is there to be angry with such a cheap maid, now half of the Xiliang harem is under your control, even if the county lord loses his temper, it doesn't matterββ"
The old princess said angrily: "If she only has this effect, it's fine, now I don't know if that Qin Hao has heard the news, if he knows, if he has a different mind in his life, I'm afraid it will be extraneous." β
Zhu'er said on the side: "Sister Xing'er, why are you suffering, although this Lord Qin is not as noble as the little prince, but with your background, it is also the grace of the princess to be his wife, we are too late to envy, how can you have such a mind?" β
Zhu'er couldn't get used to Xing'er's arrogant appearance, but now that she finally has a chance to fall into the well, how can she give up?
The old princess's face was so heavy that she seemed to be able to drip blood, Zike frowned and said, "Zhu'er, the princess is on top, Hugh is talking nonsense." β
Zhu'er was unwilling, but what she should have said had already been said, so she didn't believe it, and now, Xing'er still has the ability to protect herself.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the dormitory, Zike hurriedly glanced at Zhu'er, Zhu'er understood, and hurriedly retreated and went down towards the dormitory.
At this time, the windows of the dormitory were covered with heavy curtains, and even in the daytime, there was no half of daylight, and only candlelight was relied on.
Zhu'er walked to the door, and saw Li Ren kneeling in front of the door, and said, "The Queen Mother has a high fever, and I also ask the old princess to invite the imperial doctor to come and take a lookββ"
Zhu'er said disapprerovingly: "I'll bring the medicine over, as for the imperial doctor, Gonggong Li still don't think about it, now in this Yikun Palace, not even a fly can fly in, you better save it." β
She seemed to be a little impatient, Li Ren was furious, and said in a loud voice: "You-"
Zhu'er squinted at him and asked, "Does Gonggong Li want to say that I betray my lord for glory and want to say that I am ungrateful?" β
Li Renqi's hands were shaking, his chest was constantly rising and falling, and he couldn't say half a word.
Zhu'er seemed to be full of resentment and said: "You know, you have never been kind to me, I advise you to stay here honestly, if you know each other, maybe you can still save a dog's life." β
Li Renqi's face turned pale, he had been in Yikun Palace for many years, and even the emperor would be very respectful when he saw him and Zike.
Now that he is being reprimanded like this by a little palace maid, how can he not be angry in his heart.
But after all, he is the eunuch in charge of Yikun Palace, and after his anger, he is cunning to perceive people's hearts. Yes, he Li Ren has been immersed in the palace for many years, and he has seen countless battles for favor and interests among palace people.
And he naturally climbed up step by step, just now, Zhu'er's emotions have betrayed her, Li Ren saw the unwillingness after the anger, he got up from the ground, looked at the Queen Mother Xi who was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, and suddenly laughed, followed by the second sound, the voice became louder and louder, as if she saw something ridiculous, Zhu'er was annoyed by his laughter, so she said angrily: "What are you laughing at?" β
Li Ren sat down and slowly calmed down: "I laugh at some people, even if they risk the world's condemnation, they have not been trusted and reused as they deserve, and they are still an obscure little palace maid who is sent by othersββ"
Zhu'er was poked in the heart, her face was extremely ugly, she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and said fiercely: "Who are you talking about?" β
Li Ren's eyes flashed, and he said, "I said you, Zhu'er, do you think that after you and Zike betrayed the Empress Dowager Xi, you will be able to get her reuse?" It's really naΓ―ve, and those who have betrayed the old master are not qualified to be confidants. β
Zhu'er subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible? The old princess clearly trusts us, otherwise she wouldn't have let me take charge of guarding youβ"
Li Ren sighed and said, "What about these people?" Are they all people she trusts? Guess what's they're talking about right now? If you talk about qualifications, you can't compare to Zike, if you talk about value, you can't compare to that star, Zhu'er, what do you use to compete with others? From beginning to end, you know something, it's just a marionette used by others, and it's really pitiful to be complacent. β
Zhu'er was annoyed and angry, almost as if she was crazy, rushed in, and grabbed Li Ren's clothes, but Li Ren didn't resist, but just said in a deep voice: "Zhu'er, if I were you, I wouldn't be so stupid, if the old princess was done, you are all people who know about her power, what do you think she will do?" If she loses, what do you say the Queen Mother will do with you? β
Zhu'er's hand gradually lost its strength, and she muttered: "No, no, if Aunt Zike knew that this was the consequence, she would definitely hesitate, but she is standing so firmly there now, it must be because she believes that the old princess will leave us a way out." β
Li Ren sneered and said, "There is no way out for her, the Queen Mother already doubts her identity, but Zhu'er, you are different-"
As he spoke, Li Ren leaned close to Zhu'er's ear and said something briefly, only to see Zhu'er's pupils widen and subconsciously take half a step back. Li Ren looked at Zhu'er with a smile, and then turned around and went back to the inner room to take care of the Empress Dowager Xi.
Zhu'er returned to the main hall in a daze, she walked in a hurry, didn't pay attention, bumped into a person, she sighed, looked up, and saw two chamberlains, carrying a shelf covered with a white cloth from the main hall, because of the collision just now, the head of the hand was unstable, the shelf was crooked, and then a hand fell from the white cloth.
Zhu'er covered her lips and unconsciously took half a step back, her hand was slender and fair, and she also carried a bracelet with a white mutton fat and white jade on her wrist, which she knew, Xing'er showed off in front of her several times, originally Zhu'er thought that the bracelet was very good-looking, as if it was the crystal clear snow that fell on the top of the snowy mountain in winter, and it was enviable.
But at this time, the pale color, taking advantage of the gray skin that was already lifeless, was disgusting to look at.
Zhu'er only felt a churn in her chest, and she kept vomiting the acid water in her stomach next to the palace wall on the side, as if she wanted to vomit out all the bile, but she didn't know why, but her mind was very clear at this time, and she recalled what Li Rentong said to herself, she didn't have Zike's seniority, nor did she have Xing'er's eight-sided exquisiteness and beauty.
Even so, Xing'er just did something wrong and was beaten to death, so what about her, she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
When she returned to the room, it was already late at night, and Zike saw that she was in a trance, so she asked, "What's wrong with you, why did you come back so late?" β
Zhu'er didn't go back to her room, but sat down and said, "Aunt Zike, today Xing'er she-"
Zike's face sank, and he said, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" β
Zhu'er's eyes turned red, and she said, "I-I saw her today-today-why?" Why? β
Zike suddenly reprimanded: "Enough, Zhu'er, you are tired today, take a good rest, there are still errands tomorrow-"
Zhu'er suddenly grabbed Zike's hand with some fear, Zike could even feel the slippery sweat in her hands, Zhu'er trembled and said, "Will we die?" Aunt Zike, are we really right? β
Zike frowned, shook off Zhu'er's hand, turned around and held Zhu'er's shoulder, and forced her eyes to stare at herself: "No, Xing'er herself is stupid, she ruined the princess's affairs, and she is innocent, but we are different, as long as we do our errands well, the princess will definitely not treat us badly." β
As he spoke, he repeated again: "Yes, the princess will not treat us badly, Zhu'er, we can't go back." β
After saying that, she hung her hands weakly, turned her back, and left.
Zhu'er stood in place for a long time, and suddenly she laughed, what Li Ren said was really good, Zike couldn't turn back, but she could-
