Chapter Seventy-Nine: Witch Gu

"Pass the order: The palace guards have strengthened their vigilance, and transferred 40,000 Imperial Forest troops to the outside of the palace, waiting for my order at any time."

"Yes." Xiao Lizi got the order and went down.

Su Wenmei and Qian Hui listened to the movement behind them, turned their heads, and saw Cheng Qian.

"The concubines see the emperor." The two knelt down together and saluted Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian saw Su Wenmei's appearance of bowing her head and smiling, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared. He walked over: "What are you two talking about, so obsessed?" I've been standing here for a long time before you found out? ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui was just discussing the customs of the Wei and Jin dynasties with her concubines, and she also talked about the customs of men in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and she was fascinated for a while, so I didn't know that the emperor was coming." Su Wenmei made up a story on the spot, and said it without changing her face and heartbeat.

She and Qian Hui glanced at each other, and the two of them understood the meaning of that look, but they didn't break it. Cheng Qian couldn't understand what they meant, after all, he didn't know anything about what they said just now.

Just talking about gossip with Qian Hui, I accidentally chatted with the man I liked before, and the two were intimate, so they talked.

Su Wenmei used to grow up in Su Mansion until she was twelve years old, and she also liked it, but she was still young at the time, and she never took these things to heart. Later, she was exiled to the drama troupe, and she also met several handsome sons.

However, at that time, everyone knew that she was born in an opera, even if she liked her, due to the pressure of her family, she could only make her a concubine, so she never agreed. Later, he went to Huihong and met Wanyan Ronglie......

She was like a wandering duckweed, and it wasn't until she entered the palace that she settled down. Of course, she didn't say anything about Cheng Ye, after all, if Qian Hui knew about such a thing, maybe it would be more dangerous; Or Cheng Ye, it will be a little more dangerous.

Qian Hui's story is relatively simple. When she was twelve years old, at a family banquet one year, she met a handsome man, who was three years older than her, but when he first saw her, he was so beautiful that he moved his mind to marry her and grow up.

Later, he always went to Qianfu in a different way, brought all kinds of delicious and fun to see her, and made her happy.

His name is Zhou Yan, and he said he wanted to marry her. However, when she was just as late, she was begged by her father to enter the palace.

As my father said before, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is an opportunity for the Qian family to turn over, if it is for the sake of the love of children and daughters, the future of the court is buried, and when the time comes, if several opposing ministers in the palace seize the opportunity to participate in a few books in front of the new emperor, the Qian family will be finished.

In her impression, her father was tall and majestic, but he said a lot to her that day, and he made a gesture to kowtow. She combed her makeup with tears in her eyes, and finally entered the palace as her father wished.

But on the day she left, Zhou Yan came to her, and he said that he would wait for her. Now Zhou Yan is more than twenty years old, and he is still alone, under the huge pressure of his family, waiting for the person he may not be able to wait for in his life.

In order not to make her sad, Su Wenmei thought of many words to comfort her, until Cheng Qian came.

"During the Wei and Jin dynasties, men were comparable to the trend, competing to apply grease and powder, and extinguished the masculinity. So, after that, there was a mess of China. It can be seen from this that a country must not be without the spirit of a country. Cheng Qian said with emotion.

"The emperor is very right." Su Wenmei smiled lightly. Cheng Qian bowed down and helped her up.

Inside Shulan Palace.

The concubine sat at the table, broke the petals of a newly bloomed magnolia flower, and said something in her mouth. Xiangyu entered the inner hall: "Niangniang, what you told the slave and maid, the slave and maid have already done it." ”

Concubine Yu smiled, and her smile was a little distorted: "That's it, it's fine." Xiangyu, when you say hello tomorrow, you just wait to see a good show. ”

She looked out the window, her gaze distant, sad. From childhood to adulthood, she was the most unfavored one, and this was the case in Sun Mansion; When I entered the palace, it was the same. Even her position as a concubine was only allowed to sit on her because the emperor wronged her and took pity on her.

She is now in the position of concubine, second only to Su Wenmei in the palace. But the emperor, for so many days, he hasn't come to see her once.

Then tomorrow, she will act in a play to see how the emperor and Su Wenmei end!

Zhongxiu Palace.

The sun showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and Qian Hui woke up. She talked to Su Wenmei about a lot of things in the past last night and had a sweet dream. She dreamed that she was wearing a bright red wedding dress and married the man she liked. Zhou Yan's smile was shallow, just like back then.

Qian Hui has never worn a fiery wedding dress in her life, so this dream makes her extremely happy. She got up early to freshen up, and as soon as she opened the palace door, she received the holy decree of Xiao Lizi's father-in-law.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Concubine Hui is obedient and gentle, worthy of being a model of Xiling Imperial Concubine, and is specially named Concubine Hui. Chin this! ”

Qian Hui was stunned, and then stepped forward to receive the order: "Concubine thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

Xiuyun freshened up for her, and she looked in the mirror and stroked her smooth and jade-like face. This face is also extremely beautiful, but it's a pity that maybe for the rest of your life, you can't be seen by the person you like anymore. was about to go to Mingyang Palace to say goodbye, she packed up and was about to walk to Mingyang Palace.

"!" A second-class palace maid came and handed over a letter: "There is a letter from the Zhou family outside the palace, do you want to see it?" ”

Outside the palace, Zhou's house? Weekly banquet? Qian Hui was stunned for a moment, as if thunder and lightning flashed in his mind, and the whole person was numb.

She almost trembled as she took the letter and opened it. The words on the letter are Zhou Yan's handwriting, but the content is heart-piercing. She read it with great anticipation, but ......

There was a "click", and her tears dripped onto the letterhead.

Zhou Yan said that he is now more than 20 years old and has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, and Qian Hui, as the emperor's concubine, should also calm down, serve the emperor well, and be loyal to the Qian family.

Qian Hui smiled bitterly, tears like beads with broken threads, and smashed on the ground in large pieces. She sat down on the ground, remembering the scene from the past.

He took her to see all the fireworks in Chang'an, and he ran all over Xiling City for her, just to find what she wanted and make her smile. He said that even if he didn't marry for the rest of his life, he would wait for her. But now, everything has changed.....

"Mother." Although Xiuyun on the side didn't know what was going on, he was also a little moved. She walked over and helped Qian Huilai up: "Niangniang, you have lost your temper." ”

Qian Hui let Xiuyun help her up, take her to the mirror, and dress up again. The letter was folded back by her and put it in the envelope.

In Mingyang Palace, Su Wenmei cleaned up, and the concubines and concubines of each palace also arrived in Mingyang Palace one after another. Su Wenmei sat on the chair, but her eyes glanced out of the door.

In the past, Qian Hui was often the first to come to Mingyang Palace, why didn't he come so late today?

I heard that the emperor newly named her Concubine Hui. She was genuinely happy for her, too. Perhaps, it was the gist of thanksgiving that would be late. Su Wenmei thought so, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart.

"Ahh Su Wenmei turned her head sideways, only to see that everyone was looking at her.

She walked toward the inner sanctum, and the people followed. When I entered the inner hall, I saw Ruxia stuffing a rag doll-like item under the bed, looking a little frightened.

"Stop!" Behind Su Wenmei, Concubine Yu and others also followed, and at this moment, when she saw Ruxia hiding something under the bed, she immediately scolded her: "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Ruxia trembled and unfolded the rag doll in her hand. Everyone saw that in Ruxia's hand, it was a rag doll full of needles, and the names and birthdays of the concubine and the current emperor Cheng Qian were written on it.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"You! Ruxia, where did you get this from? The concubine asked.

"Yes...... It is from under the bed of the imperial concubine. Ruxia looked at Su Wenmei's face and said.

Su Wenmei's face changed. Obviously, someone is framing him! She picked up the rag doll, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed with a "poof": "The words on it are so ugly, do you want to slander the palace for doing it?" ”

Concubine Yu's face changed, and Su Wenmei threw the rag doll into Ruxia's arms: "This matter, if this palace handles it privately, I'm afraid that someone will not follow." Bing'er, you can go and invite the emperor to come over. ”

"Yes." Bing'er said, running out of the palace. Niangniang and the emperor have a very good relationship, and I don't know who came up with such a trick to frame Niangniang. She was anxious for Su Wenmei, and she couldn't help but feel the wind under her feet and ran fast. When he arrived at the gate of the Qianzheng Palace, Cheng Qian's early dynasty had not dispersed, so he could only wait.

At this time, inside the Mingyang Palace. Su Wenmei and the concubines were sipping tea, the atmosphere was very quiet, no one dared to say a word, there was an atmosphere of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings.

Cheng Qian got out of the early court, listened to Bing'er's words, and hurried towards Mingyang Palace: "I haven't heard that witchcraft is popular in the palace?!" ”

Cheng Qian's voice was sonorous and powerful, and all the concubines got up and knelt down: "The concubines see the emperor!" ”

Cheng Qian entered Mingyang Palace, sat on the main seat, took the teacup used by Su Wenmei and drank it: "Say, what's going on?!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu stepped forward: "Today, the concubine and the sisters went to the imperial concubine Niangniang to ask for peace, and they heard Ruxia in the inner hall shouting, and the concubine and the sisters came in, only to see that there was something unclean in the palace of the imperial concubine. ”

While the concubine was talking, Li Meiren secretly glanced at Ruxia, and Ruxia lifted the tray in her hand, and the puppets in the tray were particularly eye-catching.

Cheng Qian frowned, displeased: "I asked, it should be the imperial concubine who was the first to answer me, when will it be your turn?" ”

"The emperor is angry." Sun Yuan knocked her head to the ground: "The imperial concubine and the concubine are all involved, and the concubine is also a witness, so the concubine is confused for a while, and I hope the emperor will calm his anger......"

Cheng Qian glanced at the rag doll on the side, picked it up with his hand, looked at the crooked handwriting on it, and suddenly smiled: "That's it?!" ”
