Chapter 172: Fengyi Palace, Ghost Manifestation
The Ten Princes' Mansion in the past few days has an indescribable weirdness.
That day, the "big war" in the blue clouds, the maids in the house have heard a little, I heard that the mother completely prevailed, and beat Mrs. Du to the point that her nose was blue and her face was swollen, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness arriving in time, maybe Mrs. Du would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
As for the cause of the incident that day, there are many theories, and some people even guess that the rumor storm was made up by Mrs. Du, otherwise the Ten Imperial Concubines would not be so angry.
But what is unbelievable is that Bi Yuntian seems to be nothing, pruning flowers and plants every day, cooking tea and wine, and living a very comfortable life. Even the face that had always been emaciated was now plumped and looked softer and brighter.
And the one in the courtyard is getting haggard day by day, and some maids are very surprised to see her when they go to the courtyard to spread the word, the cheeks and cheeks that originally looked charming have been slightly sunken, and there is a faint layer of sadness under the dark blue eyes.
What is even more surprising is that Her Royal Highness, who has always been very fond of Madame Du, has never set foot in the blue cloud sky since that day, and every night he will go to the door of the courtyard to take a turn, and after sitting for a while, he will return to the Range Rover courtyard.
It's going to rain red, my mother is going to get married, and the sun is really coming out in the west.
Everyone was quietly discussing this strange thing, and some people who had a good relationship with Yanyun, Qingshan and others were all asking about it, but it was disappointing that they were very tight-mouthed and couldn't get the slightest bit of information.
It was night, and the evening breeze gently blew the willows, like a lover's loving touch.
Su Qingcheng was dressed in red clothes and came to the courtyard alone, but this time he didn't go in directly, but stood still and stared at the inscription hanging at the gate of the courtyard.
On the plaque on the sycamore wood, there is the word "Yuan", which was written by Jiang Cailing himself, and then asked the carpenter to describe and carefully build.
The font is vigorous and powerful, and few women can write with such sharp strokes.
He Xiaoxiao walked out, and just saw the scene of Su Qingcheng looking at the plaque like a scrutiny, her heart sank, she walked quickly in front of him, leaned over and saluted, and said, "Your Highness, Niangniang is tired today, I'm afraid I can't entertain Your Highness." ”
Under the dark night, Su Qingcheng's amber eyes were deeper than every previous time, and his thin lips spit lightly, "You say, what is the meaning of this word?" ”
He Xiaoxiao heard what Jiang Cailing said before, so she replied exactly the same: "The spring day is about to be halfway over, and the court shadow is playing." The song is gone, and the wind blows the fragrance and returns one by one. ”
Su Qingcheng squinted his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes that were like peach blossoms in March dimmed slightly, and finally sighed, "She's worked too hard these days, let her rest early." ”
"Yes." After He Xiaoxiao sent Su Qingcheng away, she returned to the room.
Under the oil lamp, above the table.
Jiang Cailing held a brush in her hand and wrote something quickly on the rice paper, her face was solemn, and she felt that it was a very serious matter.
The apricot-colored single clothes hung loosely on his body, and he was not only thinner than a few days ago.
He Xiaoxiao served the ginseng tea and said with concern, "It's time to rest, put these things aside first, and wait for tomorrow morning to deal with them." ”
Jiang Cailing shook her head slightly, put down the pen and wrote down the last word, folded the paper and put it in the envelope, and said in a heavy tone: "Jiuge has sent news, saying that Gu Jiming is no longer in court. He hasn't been in court since he became prime minister, and it seems that this time it's really ......"
The words stopped abruptly, but He Xiaoxiao already understood, and sighed in her heart, "So you've been planning how to bring down the East Palace these days?" ”
Jiang Cailing nodded.
He Xiaoxiao frowned, and calculated in her heart that they had been in Nan'an for eight months, and nine months had passed except for the time on the road.
In other words, if you can't get the snow dragon ginseng within these three months, Gu Xiang will not be able to use the medicine stone, and there will be no way to return to the sky.
"You're going to do that?"
Jiang Cailing paused word by word, "Forced Luan Wenzhi to rebel." ”
He Xiaoxiao is good at dancing with swords, and in the face of the bizarre competition for royal power, her brain can't turn at all. He walked to the pear blossom table by the window and lit the incense in the bronze beast head incense burner.
The smell of requiem incense is very gentle, just like the mother gently touching it when she was a child, coaxing people to sleep.
He Xiaoxiao walked inside and cleaned up the bed, "Then you should rest more, if you fall, it will be even more difficult to think of snow dragon ginseng." ”
"As soon as I close my eyes, Gu Jiming will appear in front of me covered in blood." Jiang Cailing's eyes were red, her fingers were deep in her black hair, and she unconsciously pulled her hair, "I don't have time to wait, there are still three months left, except for the month of going back, there is really not enough time." ”
He Xiaoxiao had an idea, "You can let Gu Xiang come to Nan'an, so that you can save a month." The soft sedan car is lifted slowly, and Master Gu's body can withstand it, and it will be there in three months. ”
"Good!" A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Cailing's gray apricot eyes, like a meteor streaked across the night sky in the dark night.
……
The situation in the imperial court was unpredictable, and in the next two months, the ten princes were promoted one after another, and now they have the management of the Jin Yu Division, the Weapons and Equipment Factory, and the Nan'an City Guard.
These departments are all real, one is digging gold and silver with flowing water, the other is manufacturing swords, guns, swords and halberds when charging into battle, and the other Nan'an Guard is the closest military power to the imperial power.
Dusk, Fengyi Palace.
Fengyi Palace is as gorgeous as ever, antique calligraphy and painting aside, the huge glass oil lamp flickering with sparkling candlelight, people can't help but feel that they are in the vast heavenly palace after looking at it.
And in the dark room located in Fengyi Palace, simple and deep, completely different from the previous gorgeous, Empress Chu was dressed in plain clothes, and reverently knelt in front of the tablets of the Wang family and kowtowed deeply.
In the past two months, Empress Chu has become much haggard, and the emperor has become more and more ignorant of himself, and he either goes to Concubine Lian or other concubines every day.
"Boom—"
The high wall behind him suddenly cracked in the middle, and there was a loud noise, and Luan Wenzhi, who was dressed in silver and white brocade, suddenly walked in.
Seeing his son walk in, he reluctantly got up with the support of his henchmen, "Your Majesty rewarded Lao Shi again today, what are you going to do about this matter?" ”
Luan Wenzhi's mood was also full of contradictions, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I will handle this matter." ”
Empress Chu suddenly became emotional, "If it weren't for that secretly doing his feet, my hundred-year-old Wang clan would not have ended up with the fiasco I am now!" Do you remember how painful your uncle was when he died?
"Now among the three divisions and seven departments, that scumbag has three in his hands. As an East Palace, you have only mastered one division and one division, do you really think you still have time to maneuver? ”
Of course Luan Wenzhi knows these things, but Su Qingcheng has become more and more cautious in doing things recently, and his subordinates can't figure out the slightest problem even if they want to break their brains.
"Queen Mother, rest your anger."
Empress Chu suddenly thought of something, clutching her son's arm tightly, and a light rose in despair in her eyes, "After the fall of the Wang family, Xiaoyao's father took over part of our family's military power, you should do some planning, if Your Majesty really has signs of deposing the East Palace, we can't passively accept it." ”
The meaning of the words, Luan Wenzhi has already understood, and a slight crack appeared on his always gentle and elegant face, "This matter is not trivial, the queen mother ......"
Empress Chu stabilized her mind, slightly tidied up her slightly messy bun, a gorgeous smile rose on her lips, and her body once again exuded the grace and elegance of the mother of a country, "Li Shimin's Xuanwumen killed Li Jiancheng, forced Li Yuan to abdicate, created a prosperous era of Zhenguan, and achieved a generation of hegemony. Later generations commented that they only knew that he was a generation of Ming Jun, who would say that he was cruel and tyrannical and killed his compatriots? ”
It was as if the ruthless iron horsemen of thousands of troops and horses passed by in Luan Wen's heart, trampling him into the pitholes of his heart.
Forcing the palace to seize the throne has always been despised, and from ancient times to the present, there are many people who force the palace, but there are very few who can succeed.
Putting away the usual disguise on his face, Luan Wenzhi said solemnly, "Queen Mother, you let Erchen think about it for a night." ”
……
The moon is thick, and the night is not shining.
Today's palace is exceptionally quiet, so quiet that even the cicadas no longer feel noisy. The new palace maids and eunuchs in the palace didn't care, but everyone who stayed in the palace for a long time was faintly uneasy.
The bell rang, and in the Fengyi Palace where Empress Chu lived, there was a shocking scream, which was the voice of Empress Chu.
"Ahh
The screams were filled with fear and shock, as if a bolt of lightning had torn through the darkness of the night and suddenly illuminated all people's hearts.
Everyone in Fengyi Palace struggled to get up from the quilt and looked at the others who were also confused, "What happened?" ”
When the big guy was scrambling to go out and take a look, the queen's henchman Furong stopped in front of everyone and said sharply: "Go back to your own rooms, if today's matter is revealed at all, you won't even want to live!" ”
The timid palace maid couldn't help but shrink her neck, for the first time she felt that the summer night was so cold.
And in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Chu Hou, who was wearing white bedclothes, sat on the ground next to the bed, his face was pale, there was no blood at all, and he kept muttering in his mouth like a demonic barrier, "It's not me, it's not me who did it, don't come to me." ”
Mama Yu wanted to help Chu Hou up, and persuaded her, "Niangniang, you had a nightmare just now, and there is no one." ”
Emperor Chu ignored it, his eyes were slighted, the whites of his eyes were covered with tiny red threads, and a pair of black eyes stared closely at the window, "Yingxue, you and I are like sisters, how can I harm you." ”
When Mama Yu heard this, a chill arose from the soles of her feet.
The Yingxue in the mouth of Empress Chu is the virtuous concubine Niangniang of the harem of Yanguan back then, and she is also a woman who has no one to replace in the heart of Emperor Chu until today.
A white shadow suddenly flashed outside the dark window, and then a lonely voice sounded, "Wang Yixiu, you hurt me so much......"
