Chapter 178: Is He Okay?
When Liu Changzai was just halfway there, a passing palace maid suddenly walked by.
"You say, why did An Ling come to find An Guifei, did you come to talk to An Guifei?"
"Oh, the affairs of the nobles, why are we doing so much as subordinates, and accidentally ended up with a capital crime, don't say it, there are people in front!"
As the other palace maid spoke, the two lowered their heads and hurriedly walked in front of Liu Changzai.
Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Liu Changzai.
Although he didn't know what An Ling was doing and what his purpose was, he was afraid of an accident, so he quickened his pace and walked towards An Guifei's bedroom.
But when Liu Changzai arrived, An Ling still arrived one step ahead of her, and when she saw An Ling and An Guifei talking, the two seemed to be talking about some very happy topic, and both of them laughed.
"It seems that my sister is very idle now, and she still has time to do these things every day, like we are doing something every day. Now that Sister An has obtained the real power of the harem, it is definitely not far from the queen's position, and my sister is going to come on. An Ling said to Concubine An.
"What's the matter, my sister still doesn't understand, I now get the real power of this harem, that is the emperor's confidence in my ability to do things, I am already very satisfied if I can do something for the emperor, where do I still hope to climb to the emperor's position." An Guifei said to An Ling with a smile on her face, it seems that An Ling's words just now made An Guifei very satisfied.
Looking at the conversation between the two, Liu Changzai suddenly found that the two were very hypocritical and disgusted, and turned around and wanted to leave.
But before he had taken a few steps, Liu Changzai suddenly thought that his brother had not yet been whereabouts, so he came back again, endured the disgust on his face, and unfolded a smile on his face, and asked the maid to go and inform An Guifei.
Concubine An Guifei was very surprised when she heard that Liu Changzai was coming, because Liu Changzai was the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and although she was in the palace now, there was no movement, so she didn't care about anything, and she had nothing to do with the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, but she still let Liu Changzai come in.
With permission, Liu Chang slowly paced in and saluted Concubine An very politely.
Looking at the vanity on the face of Concubine An who had just arrived, although Liu Changzai had not been in the palace for a long time, she still knew some rules of life, so she wanted to know her brother's whereabouts, and she must please Concubine An.
"An Guifei is auspicious, please say hello to An Guifei," Liu Chang said as he bent down to salute An Guifei.
Seeing that Liu Changzai didn't seem to be here to find fault, Concubine An said.
"Why did Sister Liu come to my dormitory today, is there something wrong?"
Concubine An asked warmly, and then eagerly helped Liu Changzai up, "Sister doesn't need to be so polite, I don't need to be so restrained here." ”
"Thank you for your concern, I came today because of some sisters' private words and want to talk to the concubine, is it okay?"
Liu Changzai took the initiative to say the purpose of his visit, but he didn't mind that someone was here, so he didn't elaborate much.
Concubine An felt very strange at this time, because she had nothing to do with the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and as for whether her younger brother was implicated, she didn't know, and she really couldn't remember what she and Liu Changzai had anything to say.
But seeing that Liu Changzai seemed to be really in a hurry, he turned his face to Liu Changzai and said, "Since my sister wants to talk, then I can talk to my sister." ”
"An Ling, then I'll talk to Sister Liu about some private things, you can go back today, and I'll visit you another day," An Guifei said to An Ling, and then summoned the palace maid to send An Ling out, so that Liu Chang was in the room between the two.
"Concubine An, I came this time, there is nothing wrong, it is my brother who loves me, I went elsewhere with your brother a few days ago and never came back, you have a better relationship with your brother on weekdays, so I want to ask if you know where my brother is now? Even if you don't know, there will be some clues, right? Liu Changzai said to Concubine An, tears couldn't help but fall.
"Sister Liu, don't cry, to be honest, I have been in this harem all the year round, my brother is a free body, I don't know where they went, and there have been a lot of things happening in the palace recently, and I don't know what the situation is now."
An Guifei took Liu Changzai's hand and wiped away the tears next to Liu Changzai's eyes with a hand towel.
Liu Changzai just thought that these words were just Concubine An Guifei who didn't want to talk to her, so she began to cry even more.
"Sister An, you are older than me, there is a big brother in my family who loves me, I don't want to lose his contact like this, if you know something, can you tell me, I'm really worried about him."
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears, and the whole person looked pitiful and weak, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.
Concubine An Guifei was very depressed when she saw Liu Chang like this, because she didn't know what her family had to do with the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War. It started to get very tangled.
"Sister Liu, don't cry first, tell me what's going on first, can I find out first?" An Guifei asked tentatively, because she wanted to stop Liu Chang from crying.
"So, the other day, my brother and your brother...... In the end, until now, there has been no news of my brother in our family. ”
Liu Changzai stopped his tears, restrained his emotions, and began to say to An Guifei, hoping to know something from her mouth.
When Concubine An Guifei heard this, she also felt very confused, because she didn't know what the situation was now, but seeing that Liu Changzai was no longer crying, she also cleared her mind, thinking that a big living person could not disappear out of thin air, even if he died, there would be a corpse, so there must be something wrong.
"Do you think about where your brother said in the end? Perhaps that's the key. An Guifei said, sorted out the situation and talked to Liu Changzai.
"I don't know ......"
The house kept talking, and An Ling, who had just been sent away by Concubine An Guifei, was very curious, full of incredulity.
An Ling was a little surprised to see Liu Changzai's arrival, and he fell into his own memories: he grew up with Liu Changzai's son and the son of the Ministry of Rites since childhood, and the three of them have been rich in feelings since childhood, and Liu Changzai's son of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites originally ordered a baby kiss, and he can also see that the son of the Ministry of Rites is different from other women to Liu Changzai between the two.
But the good times didn't last long, it was supposed to be the son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who married Liu Changzai, but because the Ministry of Rites Shangshu wanted to please the emperor, he wanted to marry his daughter into the harem.
Liu Changzai also discussed with the Ministry of Rites, but there was no result, and the attitude of the Ministry of Rites was very resolute.
Liu Changzai was also very helpless, and washed his face with tears every day. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said that he would never let his daughter marry someone who was not useless to his career.
It's better to exchange your daughter's lifelong happiness for your career, and go all the way.
However, Liu Changzai also likes the Ministry of Rites very much, and the two made an oath to make an alliance, because of the decision of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was beaten by a stick, and the two originally planned to elope together and go away.
But because the Ministry of Rites Shangshu threatened his daughter to marry into the harem with death, and Liu Changzai didn't want his beloved to be infamous for being disloyal and unfilial because of himself. So I had no choice but to marry into the harem.
After entering the harem, Liu Changzai was not happy, and he was still depressed every day, so Liu Changzai did not receive much favor from the emperor.
It is gradually forgotten in this deep palace, and I believe that now the emperor can no longer remember that he once favored Liu Changzai.
As a witness to the relationship between the two, An Ling really felt the sadness of being inseparable from the white head but helpless by reality.
I felt very distressed and helpless about what happened to the two.
After all, it was someone's family affair, and it was not convenient for outsiders like himself to take care of it, but seeing his two childhood partners being hurt so much, An Ling was also very heartbroken.
And the son of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has been sullen since Liu Changzai entered the palace, and he has become thinner and thinner until now, and he has not even married a wife, and there is no connecting room, and how much better can Liu Changzai be in the palace, and why should the Ministry of Rites Shangshu ruin his son's lifelong happiness for his own selfish desires.
It can be said that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is now very reluctant to take a lot of regret medicine, and he will not let his son be so decadent.
Recalling the sad experience of the two, An Ling remembered that since Liu Changzai came, he did not greet An, although he and Liu Changzai were childhood sweethearts, but the number of etiquette could not be abolished, so An Ling hurriedly asked An: "Weichen see Changzai Niangniang." ”
Liu Changzai looked at his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him since he was a child, and couldn't help but think of the happy time when the three of them were together, so he didn't care about An Ling's faux pas, and hurriedly said to An Ling: "Lord An is exempt, I don't know that Lord An is here, I am abrupt." I wonder if I can ask Lord An about something? ”
"Niangniang, please speak, Weichen must know everything, and he must say everything." An Ling said politely.
Seeing An Ling so polite, Liu Changzai suddenly said with some hurt: "What does it take to be so polite between us?" You should know my personality, I hate this kind of formulaic answer the most. ”
An Ling hurriedly said: "Niangniang, even if we are familiar with each other in private, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, otherwise it will be a trouble for you and me to be caught, isn't it?" ”
Liu Changzai saw that An Ling paid so much attention to the form, and said: "Then I won't force it, you can just do it at will, I just came to my sister today to say something considerate, and there is a little more I want to ask Lord An about it." ”
An Ling said: "Niangniang, please speak." ”
Liu Changzai lowered his voice and asked worriedly, "I wonder how he is doing now?" Is there anyone around him to take care of him for me? Does he still have stomach problems now? Did he eat on time, go to bed on time, and not stay up late to report the crime? ”
An Ling hurriedly said: "Since Niangniang entered the palace, he has been a little depressed, as his friend, I can only watch him get thinner and thinner, and it doesn't help to comfort him, since Niangniang entered the palace, he has never married, not even a room." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also had a headache because of this matter, saying that he shouldn't have forced you and him into a corner. But this didn't have any effect at all, he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, he just locked himself in the study every day, otherwise he was reporting the crime, and he never had a good rest. Over time, it has now become a habit. ”
Liu Changzai couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this: "You let him treat himself well, otherwise he will continue to torture himself like this, otherwise I will not feel good." Let him take care of himself, marry a wife who loves him and respects him, and forget me. ”
As he spoke, he said to An Ling: "Can Lord An avoid it, I came today mainly to say something considerate to my sister, so can Lord An avoid it." ”
An Ling said: "Okay Niangniang, Weichen will definitely bring Niangniang's words, Niangniang herself must take care of her body, don't let us worry, the palace is not better than the outside of the palace, you must be very careful." Since the two mothers wanted to say something considerate, then Weichen retired first. ”
Liu Changzai hadn't recovered from what An Ling said, she choked up at An Guifei with red eyes: "Sister, I hope you can let Lord An help me take care of him?" I'm really worried about him, and I want him to live happily ever after, instead of living in the memories of the two of us, taking care of his own pain. After all, it's impossible for the two of us, so let's let him give up his thoughts about me as soon as possible. ”
An Guifei said: "Sister rest assured, although I don't really understand why the Ministry of Rites Shangshu would do this, but since the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has made such a decision, then my sister must be here with peace of mind, and I will let my brother solve the matter on his side." ”
"I will definitely bring all your words to my brother without a word, and let him help you persuade him."
"Let him get out of your memories as soon as possible, but you also have to learn to live well in this deep palace for him."
"Don't let him worry, I'm sure he'll come out of the shadows soon."
"Then my sister thanked my sister first. My sister will definitely serve the emperor well in the future, but now the emperor seems to no longer need us to serve, after all, now the emperor has brought a new favorite concubine from the outside. Presumably, it should be a lot easier for us now, so I will survive in this deep palace, for him, for myself, and for the benefit of my father and family. ”
