Chapter 13: Re-entry into the Palace
"As far as I know, Lian Wanyi Fengyu is the person of the left minister, if my guess is correct, it should be either his righteous daughter or his concubine, and his purpose is very clear, that is, the throne, but he has a very strange request, that is, not to hurt the emperor. Emperor Bei Yuliang is also a puppet in his hands, but it is strange that he does not let us hurt him. Lan Zhi sat across from me, frowning in thought.
One is the left minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the other is the prince who is very deep in the city, no matter which one we offend now, we will not be able to eat and walk around, which is really a headache.
"I still need some time to sort out this matter, we can't easily offend anyone, but we must not run on both sides, otherwise they will be over together."
"The princess and I have thought of going together, and these two people will need to be carefully observed for a while." Lan Zhi stood up and straightened the hem of her skirt, and said, "But Lan Zhi thinks that it is the best policy for the snipe and the clam to compete and the fisherman to profit." ”
"So what do I do next?"
"You are the smartest Dexin Emperor in Liangxi, what to do, you should know better than me in your heart, in this game in the middle of the game, you can only watch the changes closely, wait for others to relax, and defeat in one fell swoop."
Dusk is approaching, and the cool breeze is blowing.
The carriage went around to the back door of the palace, and I straightened my veil before entering the hospital.
I suddenly remembered Wan Niang, the person who can do anything for love, even if it will make my sweetheart hate me. It's just that I don't understand, what is the obsession in their hearts, which can make the mother put down all her dignity and be willing to be a concubine, wash the lead for him, let Wanniang desperately get rid of the threatening women around her, and make her docile and obedient. This is undoubtedly the biggest weakness, if I can, if I let go of hatred, I would rather have such a weakness, for the sake of one person, devote my life to it.
But I can't, I must not have such a weakness, only when I am immortal can I fulfill the expectations of the people of Liangxi.
In the distance, I heard the sound of the flute, with a low voice, which was the song that danced at the palace banquet that day. Bypassing the pavilions and pavilions, passing through the water pavilion corridor, I saw Beiyu Jinchen standing on the edge of the corridor surrounded by green vines, the purple robe flickering in the slanting sun, obviously far away from him, obviously he still had the same warm smile, but I felt the atmosphere around me that was more harsh than the cold wind.
"It seems that your master is very good to you and can leave the palace at will." He was holding a jade flute in his hand, and he could detect it without turning to look at me.
"Do you think I should die in the palace for the rest of my life?" I snorted.
"The pavilion master's intention to come this time is not to quarrel with this king, right?" He then turned to me and smiled.
"The prince is so powerful, he should know everything."
Beiyu Jinchen smiled, without other emotions, leaned down and whispered: "This king thinks that you have come to visit this king." ”
I pushed him away in a panic, and remembered his intimate movements before I fell into the pool, the burning sensation of the pinna spreading, and I couldn't help but sink my face and said coldly: "If the prince is bored, he should go to Ningyue Tower, why bother to satirize an ugly little palace maid?" ”
"Ning Yuelou is all the people of the pavilion master, where does Xiao Wang dare to touch them, if they accidentally sleep and die in the gentle township, won't they have to be recorded in the annals of history?" His half-serious, half-playful tone made me laugh and cry.
I was just about to reply, he suddenly put away his emotions and said: "The pavilion master and I are grasshoppers on the same rope now, even though the left prime minister is in power, but after all, there is only a group of civil officials under his hands, can the pavilion master know the cold sun dead man trained by the first emperor?" Although there are only 10,000 people left, it is not a lot to fight against ten. ”
Didn't the Hanyang Dead Say that they were disbanded? Could it be that the first emperor secretly handed it over to him? The stakes are indeed high.
"The prince said that he laughed, how could I, Su Jin, be a person who goes back on his word?" With a void in his heart, is this Beiyu Jinchen the reincarnation of an immortal? How to know everything. "Su Jin is here this time just to borrow someone. - Imperial Physician Chen, Chen Weiyan. ”
By the time I left the palace, half an hour had passed, and I was just about to walk out of the back door when an old man in a sixtieth birthday stopped me.
"Girl Jin." Looking back, it was Li Yan, the last housekeeper of welfare, I heard that Prince Xuan was grown up by him, he was the mother's family of Wen Guifei, the biological mother of the prince, and now he is also a very important person in the house, except for Beiyu Jinchen, no one can call him, but I have only met him and have never had a deep relationship, and today he suddenly called me, and I had some doubts in my heart.
"Steward Li." I nodded politely.
"It's still early, the palace gate is not closed, can the old slave talk to the girl?" He was slightly hunched and his face was humble and kind.
There are a lot of pools in the house, all of which are planted with lotus flowers that are not stained out of the silt, and some maids say that this is Luo Yu's favorite flower before his death, so the pond repaired by Beiyu Jinchen is planted with lotus flowers. However, I prefer the red plum in the cold winter to the holy lotus, and the beauty is amazing when everything is withering.
When he came to the pavilion in the middle of the pool, he poured some mountain spring into the cup, which was sweet and pure, and it was a different taste from tea, and the irritability in his heart subsided.
"Presumably, Miss Jin returned to the Dark Night Pavilion today, right?" Li Yan saw the surprise in my eyes, and said: "Lian Wanyi's original name is Feng Yu, and she is the righteous daughter of the left minister, you must not understand why she is not afraid of the revelation of the prince and the girl, the answer is very simple, because of the current emperor." ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, the emperor knows that she is Feng Yu?" ”
Li Yan smiled but didn't answer, and asked again: "What does the girl think, what is the water in this cup?" ”
"Water?" I glanced at the cup in my hand and was silent.
"Many people think that this water is sweet and cold and is mountain stream spring water, but it is not. This water is a sand pot soaked in the water of the ice cellar for more than a month of jujube nectar and the water of the early morning dewdrops, which is essentially spring water, but it is contaminated with nectar dew and loses its purity. Everything is not as simple as people think it is, this glass of water can hide so many careful thoughts, not to mention that the Night Pavilion is so huge, who can guarantee that everyone has no two hearts? ”
He was right, whether it was a shadow or Lan Zhi, even my aunt could be the one who betrayed me, if it was really one of the three of them, then I was really smart and mistaken by being smart.
"What does the prince think?"
"What the prince means, we don't dare to speculate as slaves, and we hope that the girl will cherish it." He drank the water from his glass.
"The palace gate is about to be blocked, Su Jin was taught by the housekeeper today, thank you here first." I blessed my body and walked away quickly.
"Wait." He shouted, handing me the wooden box on the stone chair, "Master gave it to the girl from the servant." ”
The quaint wooden box was opened, it was decorated with purple jade carving, and a sterling silver earring was placed on the plain white Suzhou embroidered silk handkerchief, inlaid with crimson coral stone in the middle, I don't understand why I only sent one earring, but I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I took out the earrings and put them on casually, and returned the wooden box to Li Yan and hurriedly got into the carriage.
