Chapter 90: Want Me to Be Grateful to You?
In the dormitory, Nangong Yan sat on the bench, with a few letterheads on his side, Lin Xian'er heard the footsteps coming, turned her head, and looked at her with a smug brilliance in her eyes, which was a dazzling light.
When their eyes met, Yu Qiqi directly swept her eyes and walked to Nangong Yan, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, "The emperor summoned his concubines, what's the matter?" β
Lin Xian'er twisted her eyebrows, pinched the embroidered handkerchief, it's all here, and you're still so arrogant, I want to see how you died in a while?
Thinking of this, her beautiful eyebrows were dyed with a smile.
"You wrote these?" Nangong Yan raised his hand and pointed to the letterhead that was resting beside him, his voice was calm, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
"Back to the emperor, it was written by a concubine." Yu Qiqi was neither humble nor arrogant, as if nothing had happened.
"Are you still communicating with Yan Shiqing?" Looking at her like this, it seemed that he was eager to be discovered by him, and he also pretended to attack her, pretending to attack her.
"Yes, it was the concubine who found Lin Zhaoyi and asked her to help the concubine pass the message, if you want to make trouble, then send the concubine."
Yu Qiqi admitted it as soon as he preached, and took the initiative to help Lin Xian'er take the blame.
A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Xian'er's eyes, and after only a moment, she returned to normal, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed instigated by the queen's mother." Since beating the concubine to send a message for her, this heart has been up and down, thinking about it, or decided to inform the emperor of this matter, so as not to make any mess in the future. β
She said with full sincerity, as if she was thinking about Yu Qiqi, Yu Qiqi had rolled her eyes several times in her heart, but she still kept smiling on her face.
"Then you should stop this palace, how can you let this palace do such a foolish thing?" Yu Qiqi followed her will and attacked her.
Lin Xian'er was stunned, she probably didn't expect her to say these words suddenly, and after a while, tears were stained on her silk handkerchief, "I also want to persuade the queen to come, but I am afraid that the mother will blame, so I dare not persuade her." β
"That's mine, it's not mine." Yu Qiqi sighed and looked at Nangong Yan, "This matter is always the fault of the concubine, the emperor can punish the concubine as much as he wants, and the concubine will never complain." β
Nangong Yan's expression was faint, just watching her act, he picked up the letterhead that Yan Shiqing replied and handed it to her, "You haven't read his reply yet, have you?" β
When Lin Xian'er took the letter, it was still hot, and it didn't pass through Yu Qiqi's hand.
Yu Qiqi frowned slightly, took the letter and unfolded it, and Yan Shiqing told her on it that they were doing well in Huizhou, and asked her not to send him any more letters in the future.
What he said was exactly the same as what Shen Feihong had warned him, and there was no discrepancy.
Her face became ugly in an instant, and her head felt like a basin of cold water had been poured down, making her feel cold all over her body.
Thinking of her own situation, and of their time in the mansion, she understood what he meant by replying.
"I'm done." Her hands hung down, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Nangong Yan raised his eyebrows, "Since Yan Shizi has said so, presumably the queen will not embarrass him again, so this incident has not happened." β
"Your Majesty, this..." As soon as these words came out, Lin Xian'er became anxious, and she communicated that nothing had happened to him, which made her acceptable.
"Lin Zhaoyi has something to say?"
Nangong Yan looked sideways at her, and a sharp burst flashed between her eyes, which made people feel cold.
"Concubine, concubine thinks that the queen mother has done such a depraving thing, and she should be punished and set rules for the harem, otherwise the concubines of the harem will commit this taboo in the future, will the emperor also act as if nothing happened?" She gritted her teeth and said what was on her mind.
"You mean, let me punish the Queen?" Nangong Yan twisted his eyebrows, and his face became more and more ugly.
"The concubine just thinks that the emperor can't condone the queen mother to be so lawless and flout the palace rules." She also knew that his face was ugly, and she didn't dare to look at him.
Hearing this, Nangong Yan snorted coldly, and his tone was low, "Then aren't you also ignoring the palace rules?" Otherwise, how could there be the origin of these beliefs? β
Lin Xian'er's legs shook, and she immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong!" β
This situation reversed too quickly, Yu Qiqi was stunned, she was the one who should have been punished, and in just a moment, she became Lin Xian'er.
"I see that you are conniving at the queen's love, so you dare to reverse black and white like this, and you will kneel at the palace gate to punish yourself, and you can't get up without my order!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xian'er almost collapsed to the ground, the scorching sun, she knelt under the palace gate and would be uncomfortable.
But she pinched the corner of her skirt and didn't beg for mercy again, and only glared at Yu Qiqi fiercely when she was dragged out.
"Did the emperor punish the wrong person?" Yu Qiqi blinked, looking at Lin Xian'er, who was ruthlessly dragged away by the palace people, and her words were still puzzled.
"In the future, this kind of little trick, the queen will not play it in front of me. In the future, there will be no Yan Shiqing to make a hindrance from it, I see what other tricks you can use? β
Nangong Yan's words revealed a trace of contempt.
Yu Qiqi gritted his teeth, only then did he know that his tricks had already been seen through by him, Yan Shiqing would reply like that, and eighty percent of them were also done by him.
After glancing at him with resentment, she flicked her sleeves and left his dormitory.
When I passed by the palace gate, I saw Lin Xian'er kneeling in front of the palace gate, and after kneeling for a moment, her face was already red, and the dress on her back was also stained on her back, and she was tightly attached.
"You kneel down and punish, the emperor's palace will intercede for you." Yu Qiqi walked up to her, and Ah Jian held an umbrella for her.
"I don't need your help!"
Lin Xian'er gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at Yu Qiqi, who had a calm face.
This matter also started because of her, she didn't expect Nangong Yan to deal with it like this, but he saw through his thoughts, Yu Qiqi also felt that it was too hard, since he wanted to punish Lin Xian'er, she would relieve her siege, anyway, she wanted to be angry with Nangong Yan.
"Then if you want to kneel like that, you can kneel like this." Yu Qiqi narrowed his eyes and left beside her.
As soon as she left, Lin Xian'er regretted it, the hot sun shone down, making her back tight, and the hair on her forehead was also stained with sweat, and she was sweating all over her body, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhu'er stood beside her, although she was not kneeling, but it was not much better, "Why did the little lord refuse the kindness of the queen mother just now?" The slave saw that she really wanted to help us. She muttered in a low voice, Lin Xian'er wanted to kneel, but she didn't want to.
"Shut up!"
Lin Xian'er was upset and irritable, and couldn't help yelling at her, she stood on tiptoe, not daring to speak again.
On the way back to Fengluan Palace, Yu Qiqi's face was covered with a cloud of clouds, and Ah Jian followed closely behind her.
"Princess, don't worry, the prince just said that on his face, he must still remember you in his heart." Ah Jian thought that she was hurt because of what Yan Shiqing said, and carefully persuaded her.
"This matter must have been instigated by Nangong Yan behind his back, but that's fine, Nangong Yan didn't embarrass them, so I was relieved."
The June day was really hot, even walking under the umbrella, Yu Qiqi's nose had already appeared with beads of sweat, and even the air exhaled into the tip of his nose carried a sense of heat.
As soon as she returned to Fengluan Palace, Ah Jian served her a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup, the cicadas outside the window screamed loudly, Zhao Niang called a few little eunuchs, and used a pole to stick the cicadas on the tree, and now Fengluan Palace was much quieter.
Ah Jian took a pu fan and fanned her by her side.
Yu Qiqi drank the lotus seed soup and lay down on the recliner, and a burst of coolness blew on her face, and she felt much better.
As soon as she lay down, it was not calm outside, and it was Bian Xiaoxiao who came back, and the injuries on her body were not all healed, so she let Ah Rui help her into the door of Fengluan Palace, "The emperor's mother!" Outside, her screams could be heard.
Yu Qiqi was very sleepy, and just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard this scream, she frowned impatiently, "Do you want the slave to drive her away?" β
Ajian lowered his head and asked for her opinion.
"No need, let her in." Yu Qiqi sat up, even if she didn't see her, she would definitely find an hour to come over.
As soon as she entered the inner hall, she knelt down when she saw Yu Qiqi, with a sad face, "Queen Mother, can you not save you when you see death, Sister Xian'er was punished by the emperor because of you, the sky outside is so hot, she kneels for a while, I'm afraid that half of her life will be gone..."
As soon as she got the news, she never thought that things would turn out like this, but now they are grasshoppers on a rope, and she can't trap her and be unjust, so she immediately rushed over and begged Yu Qiqi to come to her rescue.
"Lin Zhaoyi said that she doesn't need the help of the palace, if the palace makes it easy, I'm afraid it will make her unhappy."
Yu Qiqi said slowly.
Bian Xiaoxiao was stunned, she should be happy to be able to save her, how could she refuse Yu Qiqi's help, she scolded Lin Xian'er in her heart, but when she thought of herself last time, she would rather suffer herself than look at Yu Qiqi's face, so she understood half a point.
She still knelt on the ground and pleaded with her, "Sister Xian'er is just confused for a while, she will be very happy to have Niangniang's help." β
"How so?"
Looking at her gritted teeth just now, it didn't look like she would be happy at all.
"The emperor is most in accordance with the mother's wishes, as long as the mother begs for it, the emperor will definitely retract the order, Xian'er's sister must be anxious to say the angry words, and when her body is better, the concubine will definitely bring her over to thank the mother." So far, Bian Xiaoxiao has to plead with Yu Qiqi to save Lin Xian'er, no one can say anything.
"That's how you want to save her?"
Yu Qiqi was interested, the two of them were also incompatible at the beginning, when did the relationship become so good?
"The concubine is in this harem, and there is only a Xian'er sister who can speak, if she is gone, the concubine really doesn't know how to hold herself in the future?"
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.
It turned out to be sympathy.
Yu Qiqi narrowed his eyes, "You go back first, her affairs will be thought of in the palace." In the end, she sent Bian Xiaoxiao away, even if she didn't come, she also wanted to save Lin Xian'er, but if one of them was missing, she couldn't make waves with Nangong Yan.
"Thank you, Niang!"
Bian Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, Ah Rui helped her get up from the ground, and a smile regained on her face, she really sacrificed a lot for Lin Xian'er.
Passing by the palace gate, she looked at Lin Xian'er pitifully, "I thought that your mind was more careful than mine, and you would definitely be able to bring down the queen this time, but I never thought that you would end up like this." I have already interceded for you, the queen, and I pray that she will go to the emperor soon. She walked up to her and whispered.
"Thank you, sister."
Lin Xian'er was dizzy from the fierce sun, and her words were also fluttering, and her breath was much weaker.
Bian Xiaoxiao shook her head and left in front of her, not daring to linger too long.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Yu Qiqi got up and went to Nangong Yan, and brought a special eight-treasure soup for him, and Ah Jian followed her.
Nangong Yan sat on the edge of the wooden table, and the chamberlain came to tell him just now, "The queen will come over to have dinner together." That's why he didn't move his chopsticks.
"This is specially boiled for the emperor by the concubine." She brought the jar of eight-treasure soup to Nangong Yan, opened the lid, took out a bowl from it and handed it to him.
"The queen has a heart."
Nangong Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and then scooped a spoonful and drank it, giving face very much, more than he gave face during the day.
Yu Qiqi bowed slightly, sat down in front of him, and dined with him, during the banquet, she didn't say a word, but Nangong Yan sighed.
After finishing dinner, she slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhaoyi has been kneeling at the palace gate for a day, and the concubine was on the way here, when she saw her eyes blank and her face wilted, as if half of her life was gone, if she knelt like this again, I was afraid that she would cause trouble." β
At this time, Nangong Yan was sure of the purpose of her visit, and he frowned slightly, "I am angry for the queen, why does the queen speak for others?" β
"That Lin Xian'er is Lin Taishi's daughter, there is such a concubine in his house, if it is gone, there must be many complaints in the court. The emperor is considerate of the concubines, and the concubines are grateful in their hearts, but they can't just watch Lin Xian'er suffer, but they torture the concubines. β
Yu Qiqi stared at him with half a bowl of eight-treasure soup, and his face was sunburned.
"I didn't expect the queen to come over to plead with her, if Lin Taishi was embarrassed in the court, wouldn't it be in response to the queen's wishes?"
His eyes were glittering and he met hers.
She didn't have a sense of weakness, "Keeping Lin Xian'er in the harem, the concubines can find more ways to make trouble for the emperor, right?" The emperor also said that you will follow whatever the concubine says, and now this is a reversal of medicine? β
"Of course I will do what I say, you don't want her to suffer, so I will order her to leave from the palace gate without any more punishment."
After a few words, Nangong Yan changed his mind and asked the chamberlain to pass it to Lin Xian'er with an oral message.
The task was completed, and Yu Qiqi was about to get up from the mahogany round bench, but was stopped by Nangong Yan, "What? Does the emperor still have conditions? She looked sideways.
Nangong Yan chuckled, "Where did the queen go, I am not such a cautious person." β
Yu Qiqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, if he wasn't careful, there would be no one in this world who was careful.
"I stopped the queen because I wanted to tell the queen that I ordered Shen Feihong to bury the people of Nanzhao and build a mausoleum for the Yishui King, the Empress Nanzhao and those princes, if you want to go back to worship, you can go back at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qiqi's hand was already tightly gripping the tablecloth, and the whole person looked at Nangong Yan motionlessly, "Do you want me to be grateful to you?" β
After a while, Nangong Yan slowly spoke, his throat jerky, "I just want to atone for my sins in front of you." β
"Hypocrisy!"
Yu Qiqi grabbed the cup on his hand and splashed it on his face, the tea with tea leaves stuck to Nangong Yan's face, he opened his eyes and calmly wiped the tea off his face.
The little eunuch on the side was so frightened that he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out.
"You don't deserve to build them a mausoleum!"
Yu Qiqi yelled at him, stood up and ran out.
Ah Jian looked at her figure running forward, left Chu Peiyu, and hurriedly chased after her.
Nangong Yan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart, making her feel a tingling pain in her heart, and after running forward a few steps, she fell to the ground.
"Princess, what's going on?" Ah Jian caught up and lifted her up from the ground, her palms rubbing against the stone pavement on the ground, oozing a trace of blood.
"Nangong Yan said that my fathers and mothers saw the mausoleum, don't you think it's funny?" After saying that, she laughed to herself.
"Shameless!" Even Ah Jian cursed.
"Yes, he just doesn't know the shame, he doesn't have that qualification at all!" Hot tears flowed from his eyes, and Yu Qiqi shouted forward.
Ah Jian also wiped a handful of tears, "Princess, let's go back first, and the slave will take care of your wounds." Worried about the wound on her palm, Ah Jian persuaded her.
After returning to Fengluan Palace and helping her deal with her wounds, Yu Qiqi's mood slowly stabilized, and there was a bright light in his eyes, which was not as dim as before.
"Princess, otherwise, let's go back to Nanzhao to pay tribute to the emperor, the queen and a few princes, and let them know that you are doing well in this world."
Seeing that she was emotionally stable, Ah Jian dared to speak.
Yu Qiqi didn't speak, just stared at the candlelight in front of her, her expression gave people a sense of alienation, making Ah Jian feel that she was distant and unfamiliar.
"If you really don't want to go, don't." Ah Jian said shallowly.
"Go pack your things, we'll go tomorrow." It was a long time before she spoke. She wanted to pay tribute to them, but she was afraid to go, and now she lived with their enemies, but she could do nothing, which made her feel very guilty and did not know how to explain to them.
"Okay."
Seeing that she was relieved, Ah Jian retreated.
Not long after Yu Qiqi returned to Fengluan Palace, Lin Xian'er also left from the palace gate, and the chamberlain told her that it was the queen mother who went to ask the emperor for love.
She lowered her eyes, thanked the waiter, and let Zhu'er help her back to Linzhao Palace. After kneeling all day, her legs and feet were numb, and she couldn't even walk steadily.
By the time I arrived at the shrine, it was already late at night.
After grooming her, Zhu'er helped her lie down, "Queen Mother, let's go and thank you again tomorrow, the little lord will rest first." β
"Hmm."
Lin Xian'er nodded, and the moonlight outside came in and fell on the carpet, refracting a bright light.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was dawning, Ah Jian helped Yu Qiqi to set off from Fengluan Palace, and Zhao Niang went to inform Nangong Yan that Yu Qiqi had set off.
He rushed to the palace gate and saw the carriage that left in a hurry, she only took Ah Jian back to Nanzhao alone, and when she arrived in Nanzhao, Shen Feihong would receive her.
Where the carriage drove by, a puff of dust was raised, blurring Nangong Yan's eyes.
He frowned slightly, and did not say a word when he left, so that he hurried here, and saw a flying dust. Raising his hand to brush the mist in front of him, he went down from the palace gate.
When he came down, he ran into Chu Peiyu, who was also looking at the carriage in front of him that was hurrying away, and when he saw Nangong Yan coming down, he withdrew his eyes.
As soon as the morning light shone into the house, Lin Xian'er got up, she wanted to go over to Yu Qiqi to say goodbye earlier, and thank her by the way, what she said yesterday was so heavy, and she was designed to frame her, and she didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
Zhu'er helped her to rush to Fengluan Palace, but as soon as she got there, she saw Zhaoniang standing alone outside the palace gate, and she saluted Lin Xian'er, "Go back to Lin Zhaoyi, the queen is not in the palace, you go back." β
"Not there? Where did she go? Lin Xian'er's eyelashes moved, and her words were full of regret.
"The queen mother has left the palace and will come back in a few days." Seeing that she didn't want to leave, Zhao Niang opened her mouth to explain to her.
"I came to thank her, but since she's not here, I'll wait for her to come back." Lin Xian'er's face was full of regret, so she left from outside her palace gate.
When he came out, he was about to meet Bian Xiaoxiao, who was about to come to ask for peace, "Why did my sister come here so early?" She looked surprised, she knelt for a day yesterday, and this leg and foot were really neat.
"The queen mother is not here, I wanted to come early to thank you." Lin Xian'er explained to her.
"Why didn't you come here and not tell me? Yesterday I already said I wanted to bring you over to thank you. Bian Xiaoxiao complained to her, and then asked, "The queen is not there?" β
"Well, I said that I was out of the palace, and I won't be back in a while." Lin Xian'er nodded and relayed Zhao Niang's words to her.
"She can actually leave the palace at will? Why don't you ask where you went? Bian Xiaoxiao complained.
"This is the queen's mother's business, let's not ask at will." Lin Xian'er reprimanded her.
"Looks like you're on the same page with her." Her maintenance of Yu Qiqi between her words, Bian Xiaoxiao could hear it.
"This time thanks to the queen mother, otherwise my life would have been gone, I thank her for saving her life, and it is deserved."
The two of them entered the palace, although Yu Qiqi used it to deal with Nangong Yan, but she didn't do anything hurtful to them, but dared to come in and received some punishments.
"Let's go back first." Bian Xiaoxiao took her hand and left with her outside the Fengluan Palace.
There are only two of them left in this harem, and there is no one in charge, and Nangong Yan has never been able to come, which makes them feel a lot more comfortable, but they are also a little unaccustomed to it.
Yu Qiqi and A Jian went all the way out of the Yanjing territory, and when they arrived in Western Chu, they found that it was much more prosperous than before.
After Xichu, it is Nanzhao, the scenery of Nanzhao is still the same as before, but it is a little less popular, even if it is green, in the eyes of Yu Qiqi, it feels a lot more desolate.
Entering the Nanzhao Imperial City, they met Shen Feihong.
"The Queen." He stepped forward and bowed his head, he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Nangong Yan is so afraid that I will run away?" She twisted her eyebrows and looked at Shen Feihong.
"The emperor was afraid that the queen would not take care of her, so he called Weichen over." When he opened his mouth, he was to relieve Nangong Yan.
Yu Qiqi frowned and walked forward.
Shen Feihong took her back to rest first, saying that he would take her to the mausoleum when she was rested.
She didn't shirk it, and she was indeed a little tired.
After noon, Shen Feihong went to Yu Qiqi's courtyard, she had already gotten up and walked out of the house with Ah Jian.
"Uncle Guo leads the way."
She stepped forward, her tone light and her eyes distant.
Shen Feihong bowed his head at her, there was already a carriage and a red and brown horse waiting outside the mansion, he turned over and got on the horse, Yu Qiqi and Ah Jian got into the carriage, they brought sacrifices themselves before going out, and they didn't use the ones prepared by Shen Feihong.
The carriage traveled nearly five miles before arriving at the mausoleum he built for the Yishui King and the Empress Nanzhao, nine mausoleums, which caught Yu Qiqi's eyes, she stood in front of the carriage, and the whole person almost didn't stand firm.
Ah Jian helped her hand before she managed to stand still.
Everyone's name was engraved on the tombstone, Yu Qiqi stepped forward and leaned over to see it clearly one by one, "Daddy, Auntie, my daughter has come to see you!" β
She knelt down, her eyes blurred with tears, and her face was stained with tears.
Aja took out the offering and asked her to place it in front of their mausoleum. Shen Feihong built the mausoleum very magnificently, but Yu Qiqi looked at the cold mausoleums, and his heart was still uncomfortable.
She wanted to scold Nangong Yan very much, but she found that she couldn't speak, her throat was tight, and it was so jerky that even breathing became much more laborious.
There are still remnants of the previous sacrifices in front of the mausoleum, and I think Shen Feihong has already come to pay respects.
Yu Qiqi cried and burned the paper money in their hands for them, "Daddy and Auntie brothers, you have to live well down there, and you will vote for a good family in the future, and your daughter will definitely live well in this world." When I was a child, my mother always told me that when I married into my husband's family in the future, I must be a good wife, a husband and a child, and I can't bring away the stubbornness in the palace before.
At that time, her daughter was ignorant, so in order to make A-Niang happy, she agreed to come down indiscriminately. But when her daughter grows up, she is not married to someone she likes, and her daughter thinks that she doesn't have to remember A-Niang's words, and she can live as comfortable as she wants.
But later, when my daughter decided to be a good wife with a husband and children, my husband woke me up from my dream with his own hands, and he told me that I could not be a good wife with a husband and children in my life, and that my husband was my enemy and my pillow person, and that no matter how much hatred I had in my heart, it was not as powerful as his wave of a finger.
A-Niang, it's useless to be a daughter, and your daughter can't avenge you..."
The paper money was burned, and Yu Qiqi's tears had not stopped, and they were still flowing.
"Princessβ" Ajian reached out and put his hand over her shoulder, trying to calm her emotions.
At dusk, a faint yellow light shone on her body, she was stunned, stared at the light on her body, and blinked her eyelashes, "Ah Jian, help me go back." β
"Hmm."
Ajian nodded and helped her to get up from the ground. The wind blew a corner of her dress, making her feel a slight chill on her body.
"The Queen's Day mourns." Shen Feihong stepped forward and comforted her.
Yu Qiqi ignored him and got into the carriage.
Shen Fei also took it to heart, turned over on the horse, and escorted her home. Along the way, Yu Qiqi didn't say a word, just leaned on the cushion with a smug face, and the person seemed to have lost his spirit.
Ah Jian knew that she was sad, and he didn't bother her, so he let her lean on like this.
It took three hours to return to the mansion after a five-mile journey, and when I returned to the mansion, it was already dark. Shen Feihong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said to Yu Qiqi: "The emperor said that the queen mother can stay here for a few days if she wants to. β
"Got it." Ajian answered for her.
Back in the room, Yu Qiqi collapsed on the bed, the whole person curled up into a ball, tears silently flowing from his eyes and penetrating into his fingers.
Ah Jian found a thin blanket, put it on her, and gently stroked her back.
"Ajian, I don't want to go back." After crying for a long time, she whispered.
"Anyway, the emperor has already allowed you to live here, and you don't have to go back for the time being." Ajian whispered back to her.
She didn't want to go back to that lifeless palace, which made her feel very stuffy. Tired of crying, Yu Qiqi curled up on the bed and fell asleep.
Shen Feihong asked someone to send a letter to Nangong Yan, saying that Yu Qiqi was all right in Nanzhao, and also said that the hatred in her heart became stronger and stronger, and it did not dissipate at all.
When the letter arrived in Nangong Yan's hand, it was two days later.
He looked at the contents of the letter and sighed heavily.
"But Uncle Guo has a letter?" Chu Peiyu saw his gloomy appearance and asked Nangong Yan.
"Hmm."
He nodded.
At this time, the chamberlain walked in from outside and reported to him, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhaoyi came over and said that she had boiled ginseng soup for you." β
"Let her go."
He didn't even think about it, and then he spoke.
This is the third time that Lin Xian'er has sent ginseng soup, either she or Bian Xiaoxiao, in short, there is no one to worry about.
"Yes."
The chamberlain received the order and withdrew.
Lin Xian'er was anxiously pacing back and forth outside, for fear that Nangong Yan would push her away again, but sure enough, the waiter came out and told her that she was gone.
She stared at the ginseng soup that had been boiled with great difficulty in her hand, so she had to step aside, but she did not leave.
Chu Peiyu looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes sank, and after a while, he spoke: "Since the queen has gone to Nanzhao, the emperor might as well go there to accompany her for a while. β
"You're right, I'm afraid that if I go there, her mood will be even more abnormal." Nangong Yan frowned, in a dilemma.
Wrinkles could already be faintly seen on his forehead, and he was less than thirty years old, but he looked a lot older.
These changes were all after he captured Nanzhao.
Yu Qiqi's hatred made him blame himself, and it also made him fall into pain, and several times, Chu Peiyu found that he woke up from a dream, with fear in his eyes, and he was very uneasy.
"The emperor has to try it anyway." Chu Peiyu comforted him.
"Wait a few days, she just finished worshipping today, if I pass this time, it will only add fuel to the fire." He said in a deep voice.
Chu Peiyu frowned, feeling that he was right.
Walking out of the imperial study, he found that Lin Xian'er was still standing outside, bowed slightly at her, and asked, "Zhaoyi Niangniang is still not going back?" β
"The emperor is worried about the queen mother, the concubine knows, but the concubine wants to tell him that the queen mother is not the only one in this palace who cares about him, and the concubine is also worried about him in her heart, and wants him to take care of his body, he is the son of heaven in Yanjing, and he must not collapse his body."
She sighed softly.
"Zhaoyi Niangniang's intentions, the emperor will understand." Chu Peiyu replied to her in a shallow voice.
"This ginseng soup, I also bothered General Chu to help me hand it over to the emperor, I must let him drink it." After she finished speaking, she set off and retreated.
Chu Peiyu stared at the ginseng soup in his hand, so he had to take it in and give it to Nangong Yan, "It was given by Zhaoyi Niangniang, she didn't leave, she has been waiting outside." He replied truthfully.
"Let it go."
Nangong Yan raised his eyes, and then spoke.
Chu Peiyu gave him a bowl, he took a sip, and a burst of sweetness melted from his mouth, making him raise his eyes, this Lin Xian'er has changed her personality as if she had changed since she was punished last time, and she has become softer, and she has lost her previous stubbornness.
Lin Xian'er returned to Linzhao Palace and was about to lie down, when the chamberlain came over from Nangong Yan, holding a box in his hand, he bowed his head and said, "This is the emperor's reward to the little master." β
She blinked her eyes and was stunned for a long time, until the pearl behind her touched her, and she didn't look back, "The reward that the emperor gave me?" β
"Exactly, the emperor remembered that the little master had been waiting under the corridor for a long time, so he ordered the servant to send a gift to the little master." The chamberlain bowed and replied.
"The concubine thanked the emperor."
Lin Xian'er lowered her head and took the things into her hands.
After waiting for the chamberlain to go out, Zhu'er said happily: "Master, it seems that the emperor is tempted by the master, you have stood under the corridor for so long, and you really did not stand in vain." β
In her eyes, envy was written.
"It's just a gift, look at you." Lin Xian'er teased her angrily.
"What's wrong with a gift, the one in the Water Cloud Palace hasn't been there yet." She muttered.
"You can't let my sister listen to this, she should come and scold me in a while!"
Lin Xian'er knocked her head angrily, she rubbed her head melon seeds, and hurriedly agreed, not daring to talk nonsense.
She opened the box, and inside was a fine jade bracelet, and she knew it was of the highest grade when she saw the color.
Zhu'er helped her put on the jade bracelet, the size was just right, "It seems that the emperor really gave this gift to the right person." Zhu'er said with a happy face.
Every day after that, Lin Xian'er waited outside the imperial study, Nangong Yan sometimes drank her ginseng soup, and sometimes he didn't treat her, but his attitude was much better than before, not as cold as before.
On the way back with the empty bowl, Zhu'er whispered behind her, "It would be good if this queen mother never came back, so that the emperor's thoughts would not be on her." β
"You dare to say that?!" Lin Xian'er immediately stopped, turned her head and reprimanded her, "If it wasn't for the queen's mother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here at this moment, how could you be embarrassed to say such a thing?" β
"What a deep feeling." Bian Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind the side door of the palace road, she walked out from behind the door and slowly walked in front of Lin Xian'er, "Sister is really a good means, as soon as the queen mother leaves the palace, you will do everything you can to please the emperor." β
She originally wanted to be sisters with her and support each other in this harem, but as soon as she saw that she was treated by Nangong Yan during this time, her heart became more and more unpleasant.
"I, I just think that the emperor has a hard time dealing with the government, so I thought about stewing ginseng soup to replenish his body, sister, you can also send it."
She finished and took her hand.
Bian Xiaoxiao lowered her head, just in time to see the jade bracelet exposed between her wrists, and her brows twisted, "Where did you get this jade bracelet?" She reached out and grabbed her wrist.
With her hand raised, she knew that the jade bracelet was of the highest quality, and it was not brought into the palace from their Taishi Mansion.
"You let go of our master, the jade bracelet was given by the emperor, if it is broken, you will not be able to explain to the emperor!"
Zhu'er was anxious and shouted at Bian Xiaoxiao.
When Lin Xian'er heard this, her brows frowned even tighter, Bian Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with fire, and she reached out to snatch the jade bracelet from her hand, "Sister, this is given by the emperor, can you leave it to your sister?" If the emperor gives his sister any good gifts next time, my sister will bring it to you. β
There was no way, and she was afraid that she would really break it, so Lin Xian'er had no choice but to plead with her.
After getting it for a long time, she didn't get the bracelet off, and Bian Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up, "You know each other!" She scolded her coldly, flicked her sleeves and left the palace road.
"Master, are you alright?"
Zhu'er hurriedly ran forward to ask.
"Why did you say it just now, my sister is even more jealous now." Lin Xian'er took a long breath and reprimanded her.
"Slave maid, slave maid is also anxious." Pearls snorted.
Rubbing her wrists, Lin Xian'er also left from the palace road.
The more Bian Xiaoxiao returned to Shuiyun Palace, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she remembered the proud look of Lin Xian'er in Fangcai, and she also went to boil ginseng soup in person, and brought it to Nangong Yan, but the chamberlain told her that the emperor was not in the imperial study, she didn't believe it, and she was waiting outside.
waited until late at night, and didn't see Nangong Yan come out.
The chamberlain stepped forward again and told her, "Bian Chang is here, the emperor is really not in the imperial study." She looked at the chamberlain hesitantly, and after a while, when her feet were numb, she left from the outside of his imperial study.
When it was dark, Nangong Yan had already left the palace and went to Nanzhao with Chu Peiyu, and he didn't let the chamberlain spread the news that he was not in the palace.
He has also handled all the affairs in the court.
Shen Feihong said in the letter that Yu Qiqi's mood has stabilized a lot in the past few days, and he enjoys flowers and fishing everywhere in the house or Nanzhao every day, and has a very comfortable life with the protection of Ajian.
When he got the news, he rushed to Nanzhao with confidence.
The night was like frost, and the cool breeze blew his black hair, blending him into the darkness of the night.
