Chapter 171: Approaching the Truth
Yin Huan and the Empress Dowager drank tea in the pavilion, gossiping about homely things, and in Yin Huan's hand was the Empress Dowager's decree that had just been drafted.
She looked around for a moment and said softly: "Empress Dowager, although this is the truth of the ancestor emperor's love for you, but living alone in such a big place will inevitably seem a little lonely. Yin Huan said boldly, in fact, you can often go back to the palace to live and enjoy the joy of your children and grandchildren. ”
After speaking, secretly looked at her reaction. I saw that there seemed to be a trace of coldness floating between her expressions, and she quickly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family is already so old, and they have long been accustomed to being quiet and quiet, not asking about the court or the harem. Today, the mourning family is willing to help you, also because I want to confirm that what you said is not the truth, and I don't want to gamble with the country that won the country, but I hope that if it is true, you can help your father and the emperor and rescue the prince. ”
"Yin Huan will definitely live up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager." Yin Huan stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager, "Then Yin Huan will retreat first and not disturb the Empress Dowager." ”
Finally got the decree of the Empress Dowager, Xia Yinhuan's mind settled down a little, and the only worry in his heart was Night Xinghuan. If Ye Xinghuan walked out of the Wanhuang Golden Palace safely, it would not be a worrying thing, if she encountered trouble in the Wanhuang Golden Palace at this time, then it would be impossible for her to go to the Empress Dowager again, and everything would only be left to fate.
Garlu looked at her master holding a roll of bright yellow things, and knew that she had already succeeded. But now I looked left and right, and secretly signaled that Yin Huan had not come out until now, and the time agreed with them was much later. Yin Huan's brows frowned slightly, and Jia Lu noticed the palace people who had been following closely behind Yin Huan, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give a blessing.
"Princess, auspicious." Jialu calculated in his heart that although the princess had been in for some time, it was less than the time for a stick of incense, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to stay longer now.
The heavy thing in Xia Yinhuan's hand made her mind dazed at the moment, this was what she wanted to use, but at this time she was more worried about the safety of Ye Xinghuan inside. But he couldn't let others grab the pigtails, and frowned slightly: "Jialu, let's go back." ”
Jialu's body shook, wanting to say something, but he wanted to say something and stopped, and looked at the impregnable palace of Wanhuang Golden Palace, and then left with Xia Yinhuan.
Along the way, Yin Huan sat in the center of the sedan chair and thought about how to arrange the road after that, at this moment Yi Zhi was already in his hand, but he didn't see the woman outside the curtain frowning intermittently, and her mouth couldn't help but be bitten by herself, red and swollen but she didn't know it.
As soon as Yin Huan's sedan chair landed, he heard the sound of a little maid kneeling on the ground at the gate of the palace, and the sound of kowtowing loudly made Yin Huan's thoughts withdraw from his fantasy.
"What's the alarm?" I was thinking about other things in my heart, and my mind was a little chaotic, so I was inevitably in a bad mood. And the palace is safe for the time being, and the concubine and the queen are also safe, and she really can't think of anything else that would make her little maid so nervous.
"Back to Princess Huagui...... Throwing the concubine Niangniang, she ...... "The little maid was out of breath when she said it, and in a panic, she pulled the silk clothes that were originally good from time to time.
"Speak well, what kind of system is this?" Jialu was scared enough by this little girl, what is going on, and what kind of play is the good concubine singing?
"Yes, Auntie. That's it...... Concubine Niangniang, now in Changle Palace, refuses to leave, saying that she must ask Her Royal Highness the princess for something. We are afraid that the concubine's mind has been in the cold palace and wants to take her away, but the maid and father-in-law have been bitten whenever they approach her, and she is a concubine, and the slave has no choice, so ......" The little maid said for a long time, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, and her face turned pale.
Jialu didn't look at her anymore, raised her chin to signal that she could go down to rest, then walked to the sedan chair, leaned over and saluted Xia Yinhuan and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, according to the report, it is Concubine Niangniang who is in Her Highness's palace at this time, she refuses to leave for a long time, she must be scheming, I don't know if I asked the slave to find some guards to invite her away?" Jialu's mind was still on Ye Xinghuan, and when he heard the arrival of Concubine Tuo, he was even more vigilant in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried to report.
Xia Yinhuan in the sedan chair had already listened to the little maid's words for seven or eight minutes, and now Jialu's retelling undoubtedly proved that she had heard it correctly. Now all I have to do is to find that woman in the palace, and I have to talk to her about many things before I can explain it clearly. This woman really amuses her.
"Okay, Jialu, the sedan chair is withdrawn, the palace will go in and throw the concubine." Yin Huan didn't wait for Jialu to come to serve, he lifted the curtain and strode into the palace.
Retreating left and right, Jialu also strode to follow, if the concubine had a bad idea and wanted to burn a jade, then wouldn't the princess be in danger? This vicious woman is a little snubbed.
Before entering the court, I heard the voice of Concubine Throwing scolding, still the original appearance of a crazy woman, and where there were still some noble concubines. The corners of Yin Huan's mouth couldn't help but rise, and she shook her head slightly. I think where the charming concubine Niangniang could endure the torture in the cold palace, not to mention the "gifts" she sent.
Jialu looked at his master curiously and smiled, not knowing anything interesting, and walked towards the door with his feet raised. No matter what's going on, check it out.
As soon as Jialu entered the door, he was frightened by this scene! What the hell is going on, how did it take a while to see such a scene? I saw that the palace maids and eunuchs here were all lying on the ground, all of them were maids who served the princess on weekdays, and some of them were miscellaneous servants who had not been seen on weekdays. Why would the concubine use them to be angry? Could it be that you have lost your mind?
"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't come in yet, Concubine Tou...... I'm afraid I'm crazy to throw a concubine! Jialu cautiously dodged the fierce gaze of the concubine, and stepped back towards the door.
"It's late, the palace has already come, doesn't Concubine Niangniang want to see the palace?" Yin Huan came in from the door dressed in white, a striking contrast with the bright red here. Seeing the eunuchs and maids on the ground, some of them were holding their arms, some were touching their ears and noses, in short, everyone's wounds were neatly flowing red blood.
"You're finally back? I thought that the noble princess didn't want to see the palace! Concubine Tou sneered, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her thumb, and then sent the last blood to her mouth.
Yin Huan looked Concubine Tou up and down, but didn't see anything wrong with her, if it wasn't poisoning, then there was only one thing that could be explained. Yin Huan suddenly raised his right hand and said indifferently: "You all go out, go to the imperial doctor to get medicine to heal your wounds, and Jialu stays." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids going out of the hall as if they were hiding from the plague, crawling and rolling in everything.
After Jialu put the hot tea away, he squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Tou, who was behaving strangely today, and retreated behind Yin Huan with a plate.
"Why, don't you dare to drink the tea of this palace? Is it possible that I am afraid that this palace will be drugged? Yin Huan looked at Concubine Too's vigilant look, and laughed in her heart, thinking that the woman who was invincible back then, if today's appearance is seen by those who died in her hands, it would be really a great joy, right?
Concubine To's pupils shrank, and without expression, she picked up the hot tea she had just brewed and drank it all. "I don't know if Princess Huagui is satisfied?"
There was no difference between Yin Huan, but Jialu could see that his neck was still white just now, because a cup of hot water just now became red when he entered his stomach. Looking at the cup again, there is not even tea left. What kind of medicine is Concubine Tou selling?
Yin Huan gently sipped the teacup and put it down, her calm expression would make people feel that the scene that happened just now was not in her palace. Suddenly, Yin Huan said lazily: "Concubine Tou doesn't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, this palace doesn't eat this." ”
Concubine To's fierce eyes were fixed on Yin Huan, who was closing her eyes to recuperate, her chest was rising and falling, and it could be seen that she was trying to suppress her emotions, but at this time, she had to do this, and today she had something to ask for.
"Sure enough, it's a gorgeous princess, such a quick wit, even if I am ten years younger, I may not be the princess's opponent." Concubine Tou seemed to be deflated, and her voice softened. With a long sigh, he stared at the handkerchief in his hand in a daze.
"What? Could it be that today the concubine Niangniang came to the palace of the palace and bit so many minions, just to praise the wisdom of the palace? Yin Huan still closed her eyes and recuperated, in fact, it was also unexpected that Concubine Tou would come here today. Concubine Tou should have just come out of the cold palace, and it can be seen that although her clothes have been changed, the shoes on her feet are still the same as the last time Yin Huan saw her.
"That's not it, the noble princess is decisive, talented, and delicate, which everyone in the palace knows, especially at this time when she gets the emperor's attention, but it is more than a little better than the palace. The palace is not here today just to praise Her Royal Highness the princess, but for other things. Concubine To's tone became more and more solemn, but her eyes swept around Jialu.
As smart as Yin Huan, she naturally knew that at this time, Concubine Tu was afraid that Jialu would become a scourge. Yin Huan didn't care, he glanced back at Concubine Tou and said, "Concubine Tou, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the people in this palace can still be trusted." ”
Concubine Tou originally wanted to interrupt, but although she thought that although this matter was important, it was not a secret, even if someone knew.
"Wanhuang Golden Palace, has the noble princess been there?" As soon as Concubine Tou came out of the cold palace, she heard that the people said that the noble princess was merciful, and she saved her life after begging the emperor, and she was also extrajudicial to let her return to her palace to be grounded. This is the scene where the little maid staggered in fright when she was at the door just now, most likely because she was scared enough by the guards brought by Concubine Tu.
Yin Huan didn't argue, and nodded with a smile. This matter has spread quickly in the palace, and with the addition of oil and vinegar from people with hearts, it has long been gone. Originally, the Empress Dowager was unwilling to accept the outside world, but now she has seen the gorgeous princess, the world of ten thousand gold, but it is the dream of ordinary people!
Jialu carefully looked at Concubine Tou's emotions, and could see that Concubine Tou had some words that she didn't want to say, and talking to the princess like this was just to foreshadow, right?
Seeing that Yin Huan didn't refute, Concubine Tou softened even more as if deflated, and the whole person leaned on the exquisitely carved high-grade mahogany chair, extremely weak, obviously lacking the blood and strength of the bite just now. After a while, he said: "So, you already have the Empress Dowager's decree?" ”
Concubine Tou is a smart person, and she can guess it like this. Although Jialu knew that Concubine Tou had grown up in scheming and arguing, just by virtue of the princess's entry into the Wanhuang Golden Palace, he knew the princess's purpose, which was not simple.
"Concubine Tou is really a smart person, but your intelligence has not been inherited by the fifth sister at all." Yin Huan knew in her heart that she was related, and that Xia Yuwan was only afraid that this was the purpose of her coming here, right?
"Wan'er ......" When Concubine Tuan heard this name, her eyes lit up, thinking that such a mother has always loved that pampered and proud child, right?
