Chapter 421: Clues (3)
But for Tuoba Yue leaving the palace alone and going to Cuishan, Xiao Nai also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but the thing that made her happiest was that this time Yuxue did not come back, and Xiao Tian also came with news, saying that the mission was very successful, but there was also bad news that this time the identity of the person in charge of being the inner response was exposed.
Although Xiao Nai was a little proud in his heart, he was more worried about this matter, but fortunately, the tortoiseshell persuaded softly: "Niangniang don't worry, let's not say that it is Wang Lang who investigates this matter, and there is another person who can help us hide a little." ”
Xiao Nai sighed suspiciously, and then asked, "Could it be Zhao Yancheng?" ”
The tortoiseshell nodded, and then whispered something in Xiao Nai's ear, Xiao Naiqi said: "No wonder, this palace heard at that time that this Zhao Yancheng took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Xizhou, but he didn't want to have this reason." ”
The tortoiseshell nodded and said, "No, the slave thinks that as long as he has a handle in our hands, we are not afraid that he will not help us." ”
Xiao Nai raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction, and then said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty went to Cuishan this time, and I don't know what to do, but there are our people with you?" ”
The tortoiseshell said cautiously: "Your Majesty went to Cuishan this time, and only one of the people who served him personally brought Father-in-law Fu, and the rest were all transferred from the Praetorian Guard, and our people were not among them." ”
Xiao Nai was a little depressed in her heart, but because the tortoiseshell's body was a little special now, it was not easy to have a seizure, so she waved her hand a little impatiently and said, "Okay, let's take a look at Wang Lang's side first——"
Then her eyes fell on the tortoiseshell's wrist, at that time a jade bracelet with gold and jade, although not luxurious, but fortunately, the head of the water is good, worn between the wrists, there is light refraction, but it looks like the wrist is sparkling, very good-looking.
Xiao Nai said quietly: "Tortoiseshell, in the future, you will let the little palace maid do these things, you take good care of your body, and this palace will naturally be useful to you." ”
When the tortoiseshell saw that Xiao Nai took such a fancy to herself, she was naturally very proud, and she also blushed and responded.
At night, Tuoba Yue and his party arrived at Cuishan.
Because he was traveling in simple clothes, he only told the palace keeper in charge of guarding Cuishan in advance, and when Tuoba Yue arrived, the entire Cuishan Palace was already full of palace people.
Seeing that the person who came was really Tuoba Yue, everyone leaned over and saluted, Fuqing carefully looked at the look on Tuoba Yue's face, and saw that he didn't have any dislike look, so he also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late first, take a look, do you want to go back to Dongyuan to rest first?" ”
Tuoba Yue glanced at the people around him, then turned around and headed towards the west.
The eunuch in charge of Cuishan didn't know why, he looked at Fuqing, Xu was asking Tuoba Yue's meaning, Fuqing couldn't react for a while, and while everyone was speculating, he only heard Tuoba Yue's voice coming from the front from afar: "I've been resting in Jinse Pavilion these days, don't come and disturb me if I have nothing to do." ”
Fuqing patted his head and remembered that when He Xi was still there before, he lived in Jinse Pavilion.
However, how did the eunuch in charge know the reason for this, Fuqing saw that he was still stunned, so he gently pushed it and said: "What are you still doing stupidly, didn't you hear Your Majesty's words, okay, disperse, disperse." ”
The eunuch in charge of the matter still seemed to feel a little incredible, so he asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law Fu, this palace is the east and west gardens, Your Majesty and the queen mother have always lived in the East Garden, and those in the West Garden are all lived by some low-ranking concubines, compared to other palaces, there is nothing peculiar about Jinse Pavilion, why is Your Majesty——"
Fuqing was slanderous in his heart, but he dared to say it to others, so he had to pretend to be confused and said: "Your Majesty likes it, and this time it is private, and it is not a big deal to disagree with the rules once or twice." ”
The eunuch in charge seemed to think that Fuqing's words made some sense, so he stopped asking.
Cuishan Tuoba Yue has also been here a few times, he slowly walked all the way to Jinse Pavilion, because the eunuch in charge did not expect Tuoba Yue to come to the West Garden, so he did not even prepare the lantern.
Tuoba Yue stood in front of the door of the Jinse Pavilion, and for a moment, he felt that he was in a trance, as if he had returned to a few months ago, when he was still His Royal Highness the Virtuous King who was Taoguang and obscure, and the people living in this Jinse Pavilion were He Xi who was with him.
Suddenly there was a faint light behind him, Tuoba Yue turned around, and saw Fuqing holding a lantern in his hand, standing not far away, Tuoba Yue stretched out his hand, Fuqing was stunned, but he also immediately came to his senses and handed the lantern in his hand to Tuoba Yue.
Tuoba Yue said softly: "I want to be alone and quiet-"
Fuqing naturally knew Tuoba Yue's thoughts, but his heart was distressed and helpless from the beginning to the current regret.
distressed, because he felt sorry for his young age, he was left alone, helplessly because, that person had clearly gone, but Tuoba Yue couldn't get out of that incident for a long time, regretful, because he saw clearly, whether it was Tuoba Yue or the former Concubine Xi Niangniang, these two people have a lot of similarities in personality, the same stubbornness and pride, sometimes, when Fuqing has no one in private, he will think, if that person is still there, Tuoba Yue will not be like now, the whole person is cold, no feelings, Like a living dead man.
However, everything is just his guess, no one can go back, and no one can change what has happened.
Tuoba Yue walked into the Jinse Pavilion with the lantern, the heavy wooden door let out a long and resentful sigh, as soon as he entered the courtyard, Tuoba Yue saw a swing frame standing next to the main courtyard, he walked over slowly, stretched out his hand to hold the iron on the autumn mountain, and the cold touch spread from his fingers all the way to his heart.
But Tuoba Yue didn't seem to notice it, his thoughts were a little erratic, he seemed to hear the woman's crisp laughter echoing in his ears, the man's eyebrows were smiling, the curvature of the corners of his lips was cold and arrogant, she asked herself: "The prince is like this, and he is not afraid of being seen?" ”
How did he answer at that time?
Yes, at that time, his heart was a little throbbing, and he was so high-spirited and promised: "The guards of the entire palace are personally arranged by this king, and this king naturally knows when it is safe." He Xi, don't worry, this time, we will definitely be able to return Mu Wangfu's innocence-"
Yes, he said that we were the only ones left, but why, when it was all over, we were no longer us, and he was left alone?
He chuckled suddenly, a slight mockery at the corner of his lips.
I don't know how long it took for Tuoba Yue to enter the palace, Jinse Pavilion is not as spacious and bright as several other palaces, but after all, it is a royal garden, and the layout is very elegant and pleasant, He Xi directly asked the subordinates to put away the useless things in the main hall, leaving only a chessboard in the hall.
And now, the layout of the entire Jinse Pavilion is just as it was when He Xi was there, Tuoba Yue was sitting next to the chessboard, on the chessboard, the black and white children had already been tidied up, and suddenly he was interested, and raised his voice to Fuqing who was waiting outside: "Come on, hold the lamp." ”
Fuqing had already prepared, not only brought the lamp, but also found a few books, Tuoba Yue was a little puzzled for a while, Fuqing smiled: "The slave just went to find the file of Jinse Pavilion, originally to see if there was anything missing, so that he could find someone to make up for it at one time, and accidentally found these, those palace people said that these books were all read by a small master who lived here in the past, because the books need special maintenance, so after the people in the palace left, they will store the books in a unified manner." ”
Tuoba Yue looked at the books and picked up one casually, which happened to be an ordinary chess game.
His complexion suddenly softened a little, and he smiled lightly: "It's something she will like." ”
Fuqing looked at Tuoba Yue with some surprise, he seemed to have not seen Tuoba Yue express his emotions as defenselessly as he is now, his eyes were suddenly a little moist, and he had some expectations in his heart.
Fuqing lit the lamp lightly, and then closed the temple door very brightly and waited outside.
One night, Tuoba Yue kept recalling the past in the game between Kuroko and Baizi, and unconsciously the sky dawned.
It wasn't until early in the morning that the last son fell, and the outcome of an endgame battle was known, and he also felt a little sleepy, he got up and wanted to take a nap, but when he turned around, he accidentally knocked off the other books that Fuqing had placed in the corner of the table before.
Tuoba Yue paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly, then leaned down and picked up the books.
But he didn't want to, so he straightened up, and there was a light and fluttering page of paper, which slipped down from the page, and Tuoba Yue went to pick it up, but he didn't want his fingers to touch the paper, and the whole person froze as if it was a lightning strike.
Fuqing outside the door heard the sound, thinking that Tuoba Yue wanted to find someone to serve, so he also called twice, Tuoba Yue immediately pushed the door in, but saw Tuoba Yue was facing away from him, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, the whole person was motionless, and even Fuqing came in, without the slightest reaction.
Fuqing whispered: "Your Majesty - what is Your Majesty looking at?" ”
In a place where Fuqing couldn't see, Tuoba Yue's fingers almost tore the very thin page of paper.
After a while, Fuqing heard Tuoba Yue's voice say: "Fuqing, where was she when I was infected with the epidemic in Shuzhong?" ”
Fuqing didn't know why Tuoba Yue suddenly asked about it, he calculated the time and said: "At that time, the queen wanted to ask for a son with the concubine, so she took the palace concubine to Zhaohua Temple to pray for blessings, and later——"
Fuqing thought for a while, and added: "Later, the four princes also came to pray for blessings, and then—and then—the little lord made a mistake, was punished by His Majesty, and was sent directly back to the palace and sent to the Qiulu Palace. ”
