Chapter 568: Letters
A letter came from the hands of Han Xun, Emperor of North Vietnam, to the Empress Dowager of Western Chu.
The queen mother's forehead was swollen, and she felt dizzy when she saw this letter, and the palace people around her were afraid that the queen mother would have something to do at this most critical moment, so they all came forward to comfort and care.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, this Emperor of Beiyue didn't have any good intentions, if you are angry again, wouldn't it be as this person wishes?" The palace man on his side said with concern.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt a little calmer.
She couldn't follow this Han Xun's meaning, no matter what, she had to hold on first.
"You're right, the mourning family can't be angry with this Beiyue emperor. You immediately go to the Chu Palace, and invite the princess of Chu over. The Queen Mother said.
The palace people were a little puzzled, what was written in the letter of the Emperor of Beiyue, and the Queen Mother went to the Chu Palace's palace to invite the princess without asking the ministers of the court to discuss, which was really unpredictable.
At this moment, Luo Qingluan was half-lying on the bed, waiting for Dai Yue to bring the fetal pill.
"Princess." The servant of the palace asked for instructions in front of the door.
Luo Qingluan raised his eyes and glanced at the door, saw the figure of a small servant, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Princess Qiyu, Gonggong Sun in the palace has come to the palace, saying that he wants to see his mother." The little guy replied respectfully, please indicate Luo Qingluan.
Luo Qingluan felt strange in her heart, what did Sun Dafu do when he came out of the palace to find her at this time? If there was a problem with Nangong Qing's injury, he was afraid that he would have been in a hurry a long time ago, and now he asked to see him, but he was afraid that there was something else?
Suppressing his curiosity, Luo Qingluan let him in.
Sun Dafu walked in quickly from outside the door, first saluted her, said polite and flattering words for a while, and then cautiously asked Luo Qingluan how she was doing.
Luo Qingluan asked him to get up: "Get up and speak, Gonggong Sun, you came to my Chu Palace's mansion today, it shouldn't be for Your Majesty's business, right?" ”
"Princess Chu is really powerful, and the slave maid came to invite Princess Chu because of the queen mother's send." Sun Dafu replied with a smile.
He still bent over, looking obedient and respectful: "Princess Chu, don't hide it, this time the queen mother invited you to the palace, and the slave maid had a word or two to remind the princess, so that the princess could touch the queen mother's temper." ”
"Oh? What do you mean? Luo Qingluan was puzzled.
Sun Dafu said: "The slave doesn't know what to say, but just before the Queen Mother asked you to invite you, she received a letter from the Emperor of Beiyue, and the slave pondered that the matter was very important, and the Queen Mother was very angry before, and she was going to pass it on to you." ”
"Thank you Grandpa Sun, I know, you bothered." Luo Qingluan nodded clearly, Sun Dafu meant to tell her that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood today, and the matter was related to Han Xun, so that she could be mentally prepared.
Of course, it also pleaded with her to be relieved for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's mood is better, and their lives are better.
Dai Yue came in with the fetal pill, and heard that the queen mother sent a message to let Luo Qingluan enter the palace, so she hurriedly said: "Miss drink the fetal pill first and then go out, this medicine has just been boiled, and it will be cooled down a little bit, and the entrance is just right." ”
Luo Qingluan glanced at Dai Yue, only to see that she was holding a decoction in her hand, with beads of sweat on her face and neck, it could be seen that she had bothered for a while, so she turned around and smiled with Sun Dafu, took the medicine in Dai Yue's hand, turned around and drank it slowly, and took a cup of refreshing water sent by Dai Yue, gently rinsed it in the spittoon, wiped the corner of her mouth with a silk, and handed it to Dai Yue.
"Please wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." Luo Qingluan said with a smile.
Sun Dafu retreated and waited outside the gate, and the carriage had been prepared in front of the Chu Palace, waiting for Luo Qingluan to come out.
Luo Qingluan got into the carriage, and the people who drove along the way were light-hearted, knowing that now that the princess of Chu was pregnant, and the king of Chu was fighting outside, he couldn't afford to be lazy.
"Miss, it's here." After a moment, Dai Yue said on the side.
Sun Dafu's voice immediately sounded outside: "Light, don't disturb Princess Chu." ”
Luo Qingluan walked all the way to the palace of the Queen Mother, and when the Queen Mother saw her coming, she hurriedly asked the people around her to help her.
"The Queen Mother." Luo Qingluan spoke to ask for peace, and the Queen Mother was busy exempting her from the number of courtesies and letting people give her a seat. Then she withdrew from the people on her left and right, and sat down opposite her.
"Qingluan, let you enter the palace, there is a letter I want you to see." The Queen Mother didn't say anything to Luo Qingluan, and took out the letter directly.
Luo Qingluan was even more puzzled, what kind of letter was it?
She opened the letterhead and looked at it, and the place where the payment was made was Han Xun, the emperor of North Vietnam.
"It turns out that the muscle nourishment blood vine is in his hands?" Although Luo Qingluan was a little surprised, he felt that it was taken for granted. He had robbed him of this drug, she should have thought of it a long time ago.
The Queen Mother nodded worriedly: "Yes, the mourning family didn't expect that the person who robbed the medicine and killed the envoy would be him." Now that the king of Chu is attacking North Vietnam outside, he must have forced him until the lamp runs out, so the emperor of Beiyue will make this decision and threaten the mourning family with muscle and blood vines. ”
Before Luo Qingluan could reply, the Queen Mother sighed to herself and said, "Mourning family...... I really don't know what to do. ”
The Queen Mother's words were extremely sad, and it can be seen that she has a great headache for this matter. Luo Qingluan can also understand her, one is for the country's plan, and the other is for her own son.
"Queen Mother, I don't know if I should say something." Luo Qingluan's thoughts are not the same as the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother invited her this time to listen to her, and when she saw that she had something to say, she hurriedly asked her to say, "What words? ”
Luo Qingluan was silent for a while, thinking about the pros and cons in his heart before he said, "First of all, we can't be sure whether this medicine is in Han Xun's hands, maybe it's just a trick of his kind." Secondly, Han Xun is a scheming person, who knows if he will really keep his promise and hand over the medicine after we retire. What if, as soon as the king of Chu retreats from the army, he will destroy the medicine? ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she pondered for a while. Obviously, Luo Qingluan's words reached her heart, which was exactly what the Queen Mother was worried about.
"You're right." The Queen Mother held her forehead, then turned her head and asked, "Then in your opinion, is there any better way?" ”
Luo Qingluan fell into deep thought again, and then said: "It's better to explore the truth first, and it's not too late for us to make a decision then." ”
"Will he be angry and ruin the drug?" The Queen Mother was worried.
Luo Qingluan thought that Han Xun should not do this.
He's not so stupid.
"Queen Mother, since he wants to use this medicine to threaten us to withdraw from the army, then he naturally regards this medicine as more important, it is easy to destroy a herb, but it is difficult to conquer a country." Luo Qingluan told the Queen Mother what she thought.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she thought she was right.
"So, just do as you say. But, how should we go about it? The Queen Mother asked.
Luo Qingluan thought for a while: "Wait for me to write a letter to him." ”
She knew that Han Xun had always had delusions about her, and if it was a letter written by her, he would have read it.
The Queen Mother had a lot of trust in Luo Qingluan, and immediately agreed.
Luo Qingluan's letters did not scold Han Xun a lot, and every word was pearl. Don't say that Luo Qingluan scolded happily, but showed it to Dai Yue, and Dai Yue also said: "The master's ability to scold people has grown more and more." ”
Soon, the letter was sent to North Vietnam.
When Han Xun received the letter, he thought it was a letter from the Queen Mother asking for peace, so he asked the palace people around him to read it to him.
When the palace people got the letter, they asked unspeakably: "Your Majesty, do you really want to read it?" ”
"Read, why not? I want to see what the attitude of the people in Xichu is. Han Xun said.
The palace people looked at the letter in embarrassment, but it was a great disrespect to the Emperor of Beiyue!
"Han Xun, the emperor of Beiyue, as the king of a country, actually used such a trick. You Beiyue yourself don't have the ability, you only know that you are really ashamed of being a monarch by doing these things of chickens and dogs, and you are not as good as a gangster in the market. Your behavior is extremely shameful......"
The words of the palace people came into Han Xun's ears, and Han Xun was immediately furious: "Bastard thing! ”
Han Xun was furious at this moment, and the palace people around him were so frightened that they knelt and kowtowed, Han Xun stepped forward to reprimand, and the palace people bowed their heads aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, slave...... The slave is acting on your orders, and that's what it says in this letter. ”
"This person from Xichu doesn't want their emperor to live, right?" Han Xun sneered, snatched the letter from the palace people, and held it in his hand to look at it.
He frowned and pinched the paper, as if he wanted to tear it to shreds, but when he saw the handwriting and the three words 'Luo Qingluan' at the bottom, the anger on his face swept away in an instant. was stunned for a moment, and then changed to a smile of surprise and joy.
"Hahaha, I know that the woman who can write such words must be my Qingluan." Han Xun immediately sat back on the dragon chair, spread out the letter with the paperweight on the table, and read it over and over again.
"Go down, all of you." Han Xun commanded.
He wanted to appreciate Luo Qingluan's letter alone, but he couldn't be disturbed by others.
"Qingluan, Qingluan, what should I do with you, you actually scolded me, damn, I am so good to you, you actually ...... Alas, if these words could be said to my face, I would be willing to hear them......"
Bai Yixuan is in the palace.
"The Queen." The palace maid stepped forward with a worried face and whispered a few words in Bai Yixuan's ear.
Bai Yixuan was surprised: "Xichu's letter? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty has been reading the letter from just now to now, and he is smiling while reading it, and his face is very strange. You say...... Is there something wrong with Your Majesty? The palace maid asked puzzled.
Bai Yixuan pushed the palace maid away and scolded her, saying, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
But she also wondered in her heart, didn't North Vietnam just be attacked by Western Chu? She knew that Han Xun had written a letter to the Queen Mother of Xichu, and Xichu's reply came, could it be that Xichu had promised to withdraw from the army?
Wrong......
Bai Yixuan's mind turned, she knew that Nalan Ye was still guarding the frontier, and there was no sign of retreating. What did Xi Chu's letter say, Han Xun actually laughed while reading it?
Thinking like this in her heart, Bai Yixuan became more and more curious.
"Let's go, let's go to His Majesty's side." After speaking, she got up and went to Han Xun's palace.
