Chapter 60: A Game Within a Game (2)
Tuoba Chen walked to the side of the master and servant, and while the few people around him were not paying attention, he quickly stuffed a medicine bottle into He Xi's hand, He Xi only felt a warmth in his hand, and the touch was round, with Tuoba Yue's body temperature.
With a twinkle in his eyes, Tuoba Yue said to He Xi in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Gao Yuan, knowing that your old disease has recurred, you have been kneeling in the rain for a long time, take one pill first." ”
Fu said quickly: "I just saw that something was wrong with you, Gao Yuan said that our people found out that someone brought Hehuan Xiang into the palace, but I don't know where to go, you should be careful." ”
After saying that, he strode away, the heavy rain covered the line of sight between the two, and He Xi's heart shook suddenly, acacia incense, an aphrodisiac thing, there would be someone in the palace who would use this thing.
He Xi was originally exquisite, the only thing to think about was to guess who it was, although Lan Ruo was ruthless and vicious, but she was pretentious, but because she was born as a concubine, and she also acted and did things to strive for better than her concubine.
Xu Qing'er is pregnant now, and she must not need such a thing, so among the people who have been favored recently, in addition to the white talent of Chuxiu Palace, it is Zhao Ruxue.
Just reacted to her own body, she lowered her head and sniffed the clothes on her body gently, only to feel that there was a quiet aroma at the collar, which was different from the incense inside on weekdays.
"What are you waiting for, little master? Your Majesty has long since gone away. A shrill voice came into his ears, and He Xi looked back, only to see a few eunuchs escorting the Praetorian Guard guards who had broken their wrist veins.
The current eunuch didn't look at He Xi, and the look on his face was a little mocking, but they heard it clearly when they followed behind His Majesty, and the guard kept saying that he had a personal affair with He Xi.
The rain became bigger and bigger, and half of the eunuch's body was soaked by the rain, and the already dark blue robe was now darker and almost black.
He shook the water on his sleeve vigorously, and the rain splashed a little on He Xi's face, like an opinion, and said sharply: "What are you doing here?" ”
The eunuch didn't care, shook the water on the hem of his clothes again, and sneered: "The slave didn't mean it, the little master took care of it, but the slave advised the little master, instead of being angry with the slave here, it is better to think about how to reply to His Majesty's words." ”
After speaking, he stared at the few eunuchs behind him and shouted, "What are you waiting for? This adulterer is an important witness, you are not happy, something is wrong, ten heads are not enough for you to cut off. ”
Adulterer, if there is an adulterer, there will be an adulteress, before the truth of the matter is ascertained, he will be untruthful, and He Xi called softly: "Father-in-law, slow down." ”
The eunuch stopped, looking at He Xi inexplicably, not knowing why He Xi suddenly stopped him.
Ling Xi stepped forward, her legs were still slightly painful, which slowed her movements, and she walked swaying, like Xizi holding her heart.
Until he got closer, He Xi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at the eunuch, the smile was extremely beautiful, but it was as dangerous as if it had suddenly caught poison, and sure enough, in the next second, a crisp slap hit the man in the face.
"This slap is my punishment for opening your mouth, Your Majesty did not find out the truth of the matter, you dare to talk nonsense." This slap was extremely hard, He Xi rubbed his wrist that was a little sore, and said in a good way.
The eunuch didn't seem to expect He Xi to dare to beat himself, but looking at He Xi's full of majesty, he just looked like a noble concubine.
"If you can't control your mouth, next time it won't be as simple as getting slapped." He Xi's scarlet cherry lips were closed one by one, and the eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, I don't know why, Fang Cai's momentum was not at all.
When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, the queen and Tuoba Chen had already sat on the top, and it was Tuoba Yue who was sitting on the side, the queen had already changed into her regular clothes, and when she saw He Xi, she whispered with some doubts: "Sister Xi, what's wrong?" When you leave, you are so dignified, why do you get wet again? ”
She apparently didn't know what was going on. Tuoba Chen repeated with a smile: "Yes, the queen also said that you were good when you left, why did you say that you were delirious?" ”
He Xi knew Tuoba Chen too well, and the more he was like this, the more angry he became, and He Xi's sideburns had been wet by the rain. Wet and sticking to her cheeks, she looked at Tuoba Chen's direction with embarrassed eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine begs Your Majesty to send the imperial doctor!" ”
Lan Ruo's expression paused slightly, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to his original calm and waveless look, which made people only feel that it was an illusion.
"Your Majesty, why don't you invite the imperial doctor to come over, everyone is drenched in the rain today, His Royal Highness King Xian is also kneeling in the rain, this rainy season is already a little humid, if you are sick, it will not be good." Fuqing bent down and whispered in Tuoba Chen's ear.
Tuoba Chen nodded and said, "You have always been careful and prudent in your work, so I will listen to you, and please ask Imperial Doctor Lu who diagnosed my pulse." ”
Lu Chuan, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, the medical family of the Lu family, and the medical saint of the calendar, it is up to him to distinguish one and the other, and He Xi has a plan in his heart.
"Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the concubine, let's let Sister Xi go and change her clothes, this is wet, Sister Xi is weak, and it will not be good if she is contaminated with the cold again." Lan Ruo looked concerned, but the pure gold armor was clutched on the carved rosewood chair, and perhaps only she knew the panic in her heart.
Tuoba Chen didn't answer for a long time, Lan Ruo's eyes were heavy and he looked at a few people in the hall, and as He Xi knelt down below was the guard, Lan Ruo straightened up. Qingsheng asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man hurriedly kowtowed, looking greedy for life and afraid of death, and replied respectfully: "Hui to the queen's mother, the minister's name is Li Bin, and his ancestral home is Luocheng, Jiangnan. ”
The queen turned her head to the emperor and said, "I came out of the same place as Sister Xi, and I can be regarded as a fellow countryman." ”
She turned her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Tuoba Yue sitting on the side, he was holding a hot tea in his hand, and the mist was so thick that Lan Ruo couldn't see his expression clearly, just so that the mist dispersed, and Lan Ruo saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, obviously similar to Tuoba Chen's appearance. But at this time, it seems that it really makes her frightened, so perceptive and unclear.
Lan Ruo hurriedly turned his face away as if he was dodging, and looked at Tuoba Chen fixedly, Tuoba Chen kept turning the jade wrench on his thumb in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Fuqing, go to the Praetorian Guard, call up this person's case file, I want to see what the reason is." ”
There was a trace of panic in the man's eyes, and he peeked at Lan Ruo, who was on the top, but saw Lan Ruo smacking his head slightly.
So he continued: "What the queen said is right, but Xi'er and I are in the same place, we are not only in the same place, but also childhood sweethearts." Originally, she had secretly made a lifelong decision from her parents, just waiting for me to become famous, I could welcome her through the door, I didn't want me to enter Beijing and join the Praetorian Guard, a guard is a few years, and when I got the news again, it was already Xi'er She drafted into the palace, I selfishly thought that Xi'er resented me in my heart, I wanted to explain to her, but I didn't want her to pretend not to know me, since I didn't know me, why did I accept my invitation and write back to me! ”
After that, he took out a letter from the innermost layer of his clothes, which had already been stained red by rain and blood. His hands trembled in front of him. The hand in his hand seemed to be unable to support the weight of the thin paper, but he did not dare to slack off at all, only with one hand, and none of the people above spoke, and for a time there was a dead silence in the hall.
Li Bin's hands trembled even more, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
Tuoba Yue seemed to be puzzled and said: "I have done so much to flatter the powerful, I didn't expect to be so ruthless to my beloved woman, I said Xi Concubine Niangniang, how did you fall in love with this person?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know him, and the concubine he talks about doesn't know anything." Different from Li Bin's hysterical accusations, He Xi had a rare clarity of mind at this time, and Tuoba Chen, who was sitting at the top, was conceited and violent, and only chose to believe what he wanted to believe; The more Lan Ruo was like this, and the more Li Bin said this, the more suspicious he became.
This is a contest of hearts and minds.
Li Bin looked at He Xi sadly and said, "Xi'er, how can you treat me like this?" You must carry my letter with you, don't you? His face was full of rain and tears.
Lan Ruo seemed to think about it for a while before saying: "I said that it is strange today, it is raining so heavily outside, I ordered the palace people to send news to the palaces early in the morning, so that the sisters don't have to come to ask for peace, but Sister Xi still came, and the concubine saw that she was wet, so she wanted to ask Qiao'er to take her to the side hall to change her clothes, but she didn't want Sister Xi to make trouble in the side hall, and she would rather not say goodbye than change her clothes." Is it ......?"
Before Lan Ruo's words fell, he heard Li Bin shouting loudly: "Your Majesty! The faith must be with her, it must be there. ”
Lan Ruo's face sank, looked at He Xi and said, "What Li Bin said is true?" You really didn't change your clothes because you brought something with you? Someone ...... coming."
"The queen mother can't be searched if she wants to!" He Xi raised her head violently, and the coercion of her whole body spread out, Lan Ruo was stunned, this feeling seemed familiar, but when she wanted to recall it carefully, she saw that He Xi was still that charming and boneless, lying on the ground, and said to Tuoba Chen with some grievances: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, but the concubine doesn't know this man named Li Bin, but if it is just because of his few words, he searches the body of the concubine in public, and the concubine is unbearable to be humiliated, and would rather die to Mingzhi." ”
The next few sentences were sonorous and quite dignified, Lan Ruo's face was ugly, but Tuoba Chen asked with interest: "In this case, how can you prove that you don't have anything on you?" ”
