Chapter 137: I won't let her escape
Walking out of Lantai Palace, Wang Pintang felt a fever on his face, he covered his forehead, and his temples jumped under his palm.
Xiao Shunzi greeted him: "Wang Yuantou, are you okay?" ”
Wang Pintang waved his hand and let out a long sigh: "You go in and serve." ”
Xiao Shunzi and Liu Eryue entered the dormitory one after the other, but saw Shen Yunzhen packing up his things. Liu Eryue walked up to the corner and found that she was finding a bag of silver, and she hurriedly took it: "Master, what are you looking for?" ”
Shen Yun really stared at her for a while, and then looked at Xiao Shunzi: "Although the two of you have not been with me for a long time, you are really good to me, Shen Yun is really grateful." ”
These words sounded like a goodbye, Xiao Shunzi heard some clues, so he smiled: "Where does the master say, it is a blessing for the two of us to be able to serve the master." ”
She sat down slowly and put a bag of silver on the table: "Xiao Shunzi, only I know your origin. After I'm gone, you should find a new master to serve, but I still want to advise you, that person is unreliable, and if you serve him, sooner or later, you will push yourself into a situation from which you will never recover. It's really not worth it for him. ”
Liu February's mouth opened wide: "Master, where are you going?" ”
She stroked Liu Eryue's shoulder again, and pressed one hand on the bag of silver: "This bag of silver is still given to me by you." I didn't move, I'm here. This thing is naturally to be returned to the original owner, when I entered the palace, all the belongings were just a set of dresses, and now I wear a set, and it is not that I owe him. The money is yours, and if you want to go with me, take it with you. If you want to stay, use the money to settle the relationship, and still go back to your treasure. ”
Liu Eryue was speechless, full of consternation and depression in her chest, she supported Shen Yunzhen's body, and slowly knelt at her feet: "Master, you, are you going to run away?" The concubine's escape is a big crime for the nine clans! ”
She smiled bitterly, she had long been alone, and the so-called Nine Clans was only her. She stroked her sideburns, Liu Eryue was only middle-aged, and there were already wisps of white and miscellaneous. She is a little sad, she has not had a mother since she was a child, if her mother is still alive, she must be the same age as Liu February, right?
Xiao Shunzi was faint, and there was no reaction at all. Fine work is fine work, and it is really much calmer than ordinary people. Xiao Shunzi found that she was looking at herself, so she bowed slightly: "Master, you command." ”
"You don't have to tell him about my leaving the palace, if I have the opportunity, I will go to him and explain the matter clearly."
"Yes." Xiao Shunzi slowly stood up and retreated from the dormitory.
"Don't go!" Liu February's slammed forward and grabbed Xiao Shunzi, and burst into tears for a while: "Don't go, join me to persuade the master, you can't do such stupid things!" ”
"You let him go, Mama Liu, he still has what he has to do."
Xiao Shunzi's figure slowly disappeared at the gate of Lantai Palace, like the sunshine slanting westward. Liu Eryue sat down slowly with his hands on the door frame, what's wrong, what's going on? She couldn't figure it out, it was all too complicated for her, like a mess, and she couldn't figure it out. Shen Yunzhen sat down beside her, leaning her head on her shoulder, Liu Eryue held her hand, but she couldn't stop trembling.
"Don't go, if the emperor knows, it's not a joke." She said.
Shen Yunzhen smiled slightly, pulled her hand to her abdomen, and Liu Eryue looked at her with some surprise. She said to her word by word: "Godmother, I'm pregnant." ”
A soft sentence was like a bolt from the blue for Liu February, and she was speechless for a long time. In that soft and flat place, a baby is actually pregnant!
"The child's father is the enemy of my Shen family, but I can't beat him, after all, this child is also the blood of the Shen family. Godmother, have you ever seen a person's head fall to the ground on the court? Do you know the feeling of watching your relatives die in front of you one by one, and you can't do anything about it? ”
Liu Eryue snorted and resolutely hugged Shen Yunzhen in his arms.
"I really don't want my child to call my enemy father, and I can't let him bear the infamy of being the son of a criminal minister. I have to find a way to escape, and if I stay here, the emperor will find out sooner or later. ”
"I'll go with you," Liu Eryue patted her shoulder softly: "Let's go to a place where the emperor can't find it and give birth to the child." I can do laundry and sewing, you can treat people, and the two skilled people will definitely be able to pull the child up. ”
She leaned on Liu February's arms, tears slowly sliding from her eyes.
……
"That's what she said?" Nan Jingpei turned his back to this Wang Pintang, and his fingertips were boredly fiddling with the flame of the candle.
The lights in the room are bright, but not like the light of the sun during the day, the light is bright vermilion, which makes the atmosphere extremely depressing. Wang Pintang knelt outside the threshold, his heart still beating wildly.
"Yes, Yue Mei said that she has a way to cure the epidemic."
Nan Jingpei turned around and glanced at him, and ordered lightly, "You get up first." ”
When Wang Pintang got up, he accidentally stepped on the corner of his clothes and almost fell, but Donglai grabbed him: "Wang Yuantou, be careful." ”
Wang Pintang helped Donglai's hand before he stopped, bowed his head and cowered at the faint back of the lamp shadow, as if he wanted to hide himself through the shadow.
"I see." Nan Jingpei said lightly.
"So, what does the emperor mean?"
"That's right." He glanced at Wang Pintang silently.
Wang Pintang's body trembled, and he looked at the emperor in surprise, he never expected things to come so easily. His set of rhetoric used to confuse him had been going back and forth in his stomach several times, but he didn't expect the emperor to even ask.
"Then, that Weichen has retired."
"Wait," Nan Jingpei suddenly stopped him, "Don't let her come into contact with those patients." ”
Through the window, seeing Wang Pintang walking out of the courtyard of the imperial study, Donglai turned around and said, "Your Majesty, he's gone." ”
Nan Jingpei snorted softly, and suddenly knocked a brass lamp and candle in front of him to the ground. The candle flame fell to the ground, scorching the hibiscus carpet, and Donglai hurriedly stepped on the flame and knelt on the ground to clean it up.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the head of the royal court, and Miss Shen may not tell the head of the royal court all her intentions." Donglai picked up the candles one by one into the tray, and said: "The head of the royal courtyard has been busy with the epidemic recently, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor. ”
Nan Jingpei turned around angrily: "I know. Assisting the concubine to escape is a crime of deception, and Wang Pintang does not have the guts. It's her who I'm angry about, since I misunderstood her in the Lost Trace Pavilion, she has been with me again and again, and she can't be coaxed no matter how she coaxes. Now I still have to escape from the palace with my smuggling on my back! ”
Donglai brought down the things in the tray, and said: "It's okay, you have to have an official pass in and out of the capital, Miss Shen can't get out of the capital without these things." As long as the four gates of the capital are strictly guarded, Miss Shen will not be able to escape. ”
He laughed angrily: "Does she think my wrist is just a little bit? Can she still easily escape? ”
Donglai lowered his head slightly: "The slave is afraid, what will happen to King Xin's side." ”
Nan Jingpei glanced at Donglai, very disapproving. The year he had just ascended the throne was the time when King Shin was at his strongest. From that time on, King Shin was plotting a rebellion, and a few years later, King Shin was still plotting a rebellion. Turning in circles like a donkey grinding, hoping that King Xin will succeed, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold.
"But the emperor can rest assured that the servants have already instructed the inner line to closely monitor King Xin's every move."
Nan Jingpei nodded, and said, "Has he been to Zhaotai Palace?" ”
"Yes, Concubine Xian Niangniang came to him, it seems that she is discussing the marriage of His Royal Highness King Xin and the second young lady."
The second miss of the Jiang family? He searched his mind hard, but he couldn't remember what this man looked like. I only vaguely remember that this second lady was born from the concubine's room, and she was usually not favored by her father, and she had passed the age of leaving the cabinet, and she didn't have a mother-in-law. One year at the palace banquet, the mother of the Jiang family once brought her to the palace, she was timid, shrunk behind her back and did not dare to see anyone. At that time, she was also a laughing stock, saying that she did not have the bearing of a noble lady.
He glanced at it with disdain and said, "Our belief in the king is really becoming more and more useless, and we actually pin our hopes on the crony of women." ”
Donglai licked his lips, feeling more and more proud, he felt that he was really the smartest eunuch in Daqi!
At that time, the first emperor assigned a little eunuch to each prince to serve personally, and when the eunuch leader made arrangements, for the sake of fairness, he asked the two little eunuchs to catch lots, and to catch whose name they were looking for, and which prince to serve. The first emperor only had two sons, Nan Yinglin and Nan Jingpei, and King Xin's biological mother was born noble, so naturally everyone wanted to climb King Xin's high branch. At that time, everyone pressed the treasure on King Shin, hoping that King Shin would bring glory and wealth to him after he ascended the throne.
In fact, the first person to catch King Xin was Donglai, but the paper ball was snatched by another little eunuch. To this day, he still remembers the elated face of the little eunuch who grabbed the paper ball, as if he had taken advantage of the world. But Donglai was not discouraged, he gladly accepted another paper ball. At that time, he didn't know why he didn't fight, maybe he just sympathized with the eldest son of the emperor who was not favored. Now it seems that he was so far-sighted in his original choice.
The first emperor has always favored King Xin, and he almost wanted to stuff him into a honey pot, but he treated the emperor's eldest son Nan Jingpei indifferently, as if he had never had any emotion at all. There were several times when the emperor carried King Xin on his shoulders and walked in front of Nan Jingpei with laughter. Seeing the emperor's eldest son, the emperor just stopped and glanced at him lightly. But Nan Jingpei didn't care, he was still himself, and he was the strictest with Shanggong.
At that time, the courtiers thought that King Xin was the only candidate for the crown prince, until the death of the first emperor, and the edict of the prince overturned everyone's scales at once, and the first emperor favored King Xin to the extreme, who would have thought that it was the eldest son of the emperor who finally ascended the throne of God, but Nan Jingpei, the eldest son of the emperor who had a mediocre biological mother? When everyone's attention shifted to this little-known prince, they noticed that his hole cards were so strong that he could compete with the thousands of favored kings.
