Chapter 351: Eyes full of gossamer and flocculent
In the tent, Hongli said something to the minister from time to time, his voice was low, and from time to time the wind was sent to the ears of Lan Xin and Panyu outside the tent. I couldn't hear what I was saying, but it was very cordial. Mixed with the sound of crackling dry wood burning, it is even more comfortable and warm.
On the fire was a slightly thick copper sheet, on which were placed several sweet potatoes of different sizes, but also slender and long, roasted with a sizzling sound, and you could smell the fragrance from time to time.
Pan Yu turned his face from time to time with long bamboo chopsticks, and the side that was attached to the copper sheet was already roasted with golden oil: "You can eat it after a while, and the concubine always thinks that it is better to bake it out of dry firewood, but it is more fragrant than the steaming in the imperial dining room in the palace." The queen has to try it. β
Lan Xin smiled, pulled out the iron hook in the pyre, and said gently: "Fang Cai asked Suo Lan to throw a handful of chestnuts into the roast, and it should be almost ripe at this time." When the palace was in the house in the past, it always allowed the maid to secretly roast chestnuts to eat. As soon as you recall the sound of chestnuts exploding and crackling, you will have the sweet taste of chestnuts in your mouth, which is really wonderful! β
"Smack." Lan Xin's words fell, and sure enough, there was a sound in the fire.
Pan Yu's eyes were quick, and he covered the back of the queen's hand holding the iron hook: "Niangniang beware of the hot." Immediately after, there were a few more "pop" explosions, so crisp and with the sweet fragrance of chestnuts.
"Concubine Xian, are you okay?" Suo Lan saw a few fire bolts fly out, as if they landed on the back of Concubine Xian's hand. "This kind of rough work, let's let the slaves come, the queen and the concubine, please stay away."
"Where is it so delicate, it doesn't get in the way." Pan Yu retracted her hand, slightly embarrassed: "The concubine is reckless." β
Lan Xin smiled slightly, and stood up gently: "The emperor is afraid that he will have to wait a little longer to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so leave it to Suo Lan and Duo Lan here, this palace likes the beautiful scenery of the sunset very much, can Concubine Xian have the affection to accompany this palace to walk forward?" β
"Yes." Panyu smiled and groaned with the queen and got up, and lightly supported the queen.
As soon as they left, it was a cup of tea, and although the pace of the two was not fast, they also left the tent far away. Because there are guards guarding a radius of hundreds of miles, it is safe.
Lan Xin chose a bright place to stop, and his face was plated with a layer of sunset afterglow, which looked red. "Do you know why the emperor just chose you to go with him when he went out of the palace to worship his ancestors this time?"
Panyu stopped and shook his head slightly.
"It is rumored in the palace that the reason why Yonglian of this palace died early was because you made a hindrance from it, deliberately delayed his condition, and even instigated Yonglian to refuse to take medicine, and did tricks and feet in his medicine, adding some cold medicine that was not conducive to his recovery." When Lan Xin said these words, he looked very calm: "Naturally, these are all clichΓ©s, and after you showed your heart to this palace that day, this palace also figured it out." β
Panyu was slightly stunned: "If the queen really believes that the concubine is innocent, and hopes that the concubine will accompany her, it will be ......" The cheeks were flushed with red glow, and Panyu lowered her head slightly: "It is to fulfill the concubine's heart for the emperor." β
Lan Xin's chin was calm, calm and relaxed. "Bengong thinks that they can slander you in such a way that they can do everything, and they must have used a lot of means to slander Bengong behind their backs. What else can make Hongu break with you? It is nothing more than the emperor's favor and the pain of losing a child in this palace. The latter is powerless, and the former ...... But this palace can taste your wishes. β
"In the past few days of travel, the emperor has treated his concubines a lot better." Panyu lowered his head, and the flush on his cheeks became more and more intense, as if he had an indescribable smile. The warmth in her eyes is obvious, and she also carries the delicate beauty of a woman. "The concubine is already satisfied."
"It's a drop in the bucket compared to your grace in the dive mansion in the past, isn't it?" Lan Xin looked at her and sighed with regret. "At that time, the emperor really held you in the palm of his hand and took care of you. And now? You are easily content. β
"The concubines are reckless and reckless, and they have repeatedly upset the emperor, and it is also the concubine's own fault." Panyu lowered her head, and suddenly became alert again, is it really because the queen is saying such things to her at this time? After all, the queen has always been kind, and if she has done something sorry for her, she will definitely want to repay it.
Don't...... Could it be that the musk of the menstrual cloth is really the queen's plan?
As long as she is not pregnant, no matter how much the emperor loves her, she can't compete with her after all. In this way, the queen can sit back and relax with herself, without the slightest concern.
But is that really the case? Panyu looked at the queen in front of her suspiciously, like a cat with spring in her arms, biting and roaring, jumping around, and wanting to tear her whole heart before she stopped.
Lan Xin kept staring into Panyu's eyes, and vaguely saw doubt, fear and even horror in her eyes. "What's wrong with you?"
"Concubine ......" Panyu lowered her head, according to her temperament, in fact, it is not difficult not to ask the queen, she will not be impulsive like this after all. But I don't know why, she just wants to ask clearly, and wants to know the real answer from her mouth in order to feel at ease.
Summoning up courage, Pan Yuwu took a step forward.
Lan Xin's face immediately sank: "Concubine Xian, don't move." β
Panyu's body was shocked, but he clearly saw a cold panic in the queen's eyes. "The Queen's Mother......"
Glancing quickly at Concubine Xian's feet not far away, Lan Xin calmed down and said angrily, "There is a snake." β
Panyu suddenly felt dizzy, and her face turned white. Following the queen's gaze, she cautiously looked at her feet, and sure enough, a flower snake not far away spit letters. The snake wine has been drunk, and the snake gall has also been eaten, but no matter how much the living snake says, it is the first time to see it, and Panyu wants to scream and jump out of the smoke.
But reason told her that she could never run faster than a snake, and that the slightest movement would be attacked. Although there are guards around, it is far away, and by the time the guards arrive, it may be too late.
"Queen Mother, you go first......" Although she was just now, Panyu still suspected that the queen had broken off her fate as an heir, and when it was really time, she was still willing to protect her and go first. This may just be Pan Yu's instinctive reaction, even in such a dangerous time, she still hopes that the queen will be safe and sound.
"Don't move." Lan Xin gently stretched out his hand, pulled out a plain silver hairpin from his sideburns, and settled down: "You listen to my command, I count to three, and you run." β
"No, Queen Mother, you are a noble woman, how can you be in danger. Or a concubine. Pan Yu endured the trembling of his body, and wanted to learn from the queen, pulling out a hairpin from his sideburns.
Lan Xin was in a hurry, and said coldly: "Don't mess around, can you throw this poisonous snake?" This palace is the queen, and since this palace has ordered you to go, you listen to this palace. β
"But the queen's mother ......" Panyu didn't want the queen to take risks, so she couldn't tell: "You are not completely sure, you will definitely be able to throw this poisonous snake......"
"Shut up." Lan Xin's tone became heavier: "Concubine Xian, you are like this, you never know how to be docile or obedient, is it okay to be blindly strong?" I don't know that you have lost not only your grace, but also your life. When the main house is counted to three, you run. β
"Niangniang......" Panyu had red eyes, and tears couldn't stop rolling in her eyes: "The concubine obeys the order." β
"One ......" Lan Xin held her breath, held the hand of the hairpin, and trembled uncontrollably: "Second ......" She bit her lip hard, and was ready to throw out the hairpin. Gritting his teeth, Lan Xin snorted coldly: "Three! β
Panyu's heart shook, and the whole person jumped out with his eyes closed like an arrow from a string.
Lan Xin threw out the silver hairpin violently, but he didn't have time to see where the hairpin fell, he turned around and pounced in the other direction to avoid the poisonous snake, and the whole person fell into the grass.
This movement woke up Pan Yu who was running wildly, and she came back to her senses suddenly, only to see the queen fall in the grass. "Queen, Queen, how are you...... It's all bad for concubines, how can concubines give birth alone......" She cried as she shouted, and ran back as if she was crazy.
Such a move naturally alarmed the imperial guards who were guarding on the side, and realizing that things were not good, many people hurried here.
"The queen's mother, it's not ......good to be a concubine," Pan Yu couldn't cry, threw herself down beside the queen and choked up to help the queen: "Niangniang, how are you, where are you hurt, the concubine shouldn't run, the concubine shouldn't leave you alone." β
Lan Xin sighed, only felt a little pain in her wrist, and watched Concubine Xian cry into tears, but hooked her lips into a smile: "In the end, Concubine Xian, you are young, and you are so reckless and reckless after something." You are the emperor's concubine, what kind of system do you have to cry like this? Let the guards see the joke. β
"Say hello to the queen, say hello to the concubine." The leader of the guards who came to the rescue didn't know what was going on, and knelt on the ground in a panic: "Dare to ask what happened just now, how is Niangniang's injury?" β
"Ask, what else to ask, the queen mother was bitten by a poisonous snake, and she didn't go to the imperial doctor." Pan Yu scolded the guards and wiped his tears: "You useless things, don't you know to come over early?" β
However, one of them had sharp eyes, and at a glance he saw the poisonous snake in the grass, and quickly picked it up: "Queen Qiyu, this poisonous snake was pierced by a silver hairpin, and I am afraid that I can't open my mouth to bite anymore." β
Lan Xin laughed at this time: "The treasure knife in this palace is not old, and it hits with one blow, but it is not lost in the style of the year." β
"The Queen's Mother...... You scared the concubine to death...... "Pan Yu cried and fell on Lan Xin's shoulder, choking and couldn't stop.
Perhaps only when faced with a life-and-death decision can you hear the voice of your heart.
