Chapter 180: Coincidence
Xiaohong went out for a long time before coming back empty-handed, and Miaoli saw that she had been hanging her head, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood, thinking that she didn't get the book.
Miaoli beckoned to Xiaohong with a smile, asked her to come to her side, and comforted softly: "There are no books, there are no books, I can live without reading, don't be so lost." ”
"Girl, it's not because of the book, it's because of the ......" Xiaohong seemed to want to say something to her, and then stopped talking.
"Because of what? How can there be a half-talk? ”
Xiaohong wrinkled her little face, as if after careful consideration, she finally decided to tell her: "I went to the palace, and most of the things in it have been moved to the East Palace, and there is no one and no one left...... and a coffin. Girl, there is a white business going on in the palace. ”
"What's that?" Miao Li was a little suspicious of her ears, so she could do something in vain.
"It's just doing nothing. The people the slave and maid knew had already left, and they couldn't find an inquiry, so they secretly went over to take a look. Looking at the tablet from afar, a few words were written, and the concubine Miaoli was favored. ”
Miao Li was stunned for a moment, laughed a little panickedly, and then pointed to herself and asked, "You mean they are doing Miao Li's white things?" ”
Little Red nodded.
Miao Li still didn't believe it, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”
Xiaohong nodded again, much heavier than last time.
Miao Li couldn't figure out what the reason was, and it took a long time before she said, "Since you are sure that you are not mistaken, then the problem comes." Am I dead? In the case of my unknowing. ”
It's like a plot in Shikai.
Miao Li touched her hand, it was hot, and there were shadows on the ground, she could be sure that she was a living person.
"What did the girl say?!" Xiaohong hurriedly pulled her up, "Let's go and ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, or the girl will go back and have a look." ”
Miaoli is also a little flustered now, so she will do what Xiaohong said. I looked for the eldest princess in the mansion, but I didn't find anyone. After asking the maid, I learned that she was not in the house today.
Then I had to go back to the palace to take a look, Xiaohong helped Miaoli to go out, but was stopped at the gate.
"The eldest princess has an order, the girl can't leave the house without permission!"
Miao Li asked dissatisfiedly, "Why?" ”
"This slave doesn't know, the girl should go and ask His Highness."
The door couldn't get out, and Miao Li had to suspect that it had been planned for a long time. Zhou Shuxuan didn't ask her to come to the eldest princess so that she didn't think about it too much, there must be something else.
Not only that, but also killed "Miaoli". She is still alive and well, but the palace has done nothing in vain.
There are only two possibilities, Zhou Shuxuan wants to say that she is dead, and then change her identity. But this is a good thing, as long as Zhou Shuxuan talks to her well, she will definitely agree, and there is no need to hide it from her.
There is also a possibility that Zhou Shuxuan's reputation as a favorite concubine in the capital spread in the capital. He may not have cared much when he was a prince, but now that he is a prince, he can't be the same as before. So let the former favorite concubine die, so that he can have a good name. As for letting her go to the eldest princess's mansion instead of really killing her, I guess I really have a little affection for her.
Miao Li thought about it for a while, no matter how she thought about it, she was more inclined to the latter. Otherwise, why didn't Zhou Shuxuan come to see her, and the eldest princess didn't allow her to go out.
What will definitely come to pick her up in the future is fake, if it is really the latter result. After a few days, when the limelight passes, Zhou Shuxuan will ask someone to come over and spread a message, asking the eldest princess to send her out of the capital, and he may not show his face.
The beauty leaned on the couch, as if it was still, motionless. I can't exert any strength in my body, and I don't even have the idea of crying.
"Girl, what are you going to do now?" Xiaohong asked anxiously on the side.
Miao Li shook her head slightly, "You don't have to do anything, everything is fine as usual." ”
"Girl, aren't we going to ask the eldest princess? Do you want the slave to go out of the house to find the prince and ask clearly? ”
Miao Li still shook her head, she wasn't sure she dared to hear the answer. "No, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just pretend you don't know. The prince must have his purpose in doing this, so let's see. ”
Xiaohong still wanted to speak, but seeing her like this, she swallowed all the words back.
Miaoli really wants to wait, maybe she is wrong. When Zhou Shuxuan came over and explained to her, she would believe him, even if he let her die without her knowledge.
In Qingquan Palace, the emperor was playing chess with Zhou Shuxuan.
The emperor almost handed over the government to Zhou Shuxuan, saying that he still wanted to live a few more days and take care of his body with peace of mind. Zhou Shuxuan knew that he was at the end of his crossbow, so he didn't say anything, just obediently.
Going down and down, the emperor mentioned it as if inadvertently, "I heard that some of your favorite concubines are gone, shouldn't they be the ones who want to be martyred for me?" ”
After the emperor said that he would send Miaoli to the palace that day, Zhou Shuxuan's heart has not been at peace. Anyway, I had already thought of a countermeasure, and after talking to the eldest princess, I started to do nothing.
"The father forgave the sin, and the son forgot to tell his father in a daze. She has been lochia since she had a miscarriage, and it was gone the day before yesterday. It's because she's blessed that she can't follow her father. Zhou Shuxuan said and wiped his tears in a fake way.
The emperor didn't have a particularly big reaction, pinched the chess pieces and concentrated on what to do next, and only replied to his words after the son fell, "I don't know if Fu Bo is superficial, but I know that the prince shouldn't bully the king." ”
"Erchen doesn't understand." Zhou Shuxuan's hand shook slightly.
"I don't understand, there's nothing you don't understand, only what you don't want to understand. I know you like her, and it's because of that you can't keep her. Hongyan can indeed bring disaster to the country, and I am a person from the past. ”
Zhou Shuxuan never believed in any red face and trouble, and always felt that it was useless to be a king, and put all the fault on women. It is not possible to bring the country to ruin in a day or two, and how much influence can a woman have.
Zhou Shuxuan said in a begging tone: "Father, there are no more people, the son can put away his own thoughts, and the father will let her go well." ”
He wants Miaoli to live well.
The emperor glanced at him lightly, and then returned his gaze to the chessboard, "If you say one more word, I will promise you." ”
Zhou Shuxuan was just about to say one more word, but the emperor immediately spoke: "But I suddenly remembered what happened in Yanshan, it is useless for you to say a few more words, and if you say more, I may have to risk the disapproval of the world to seal a concubine, anyway, you have already paved the way for me." ”
The emperor has seen through his little tricks and still doesn't want to let go of Miaoli.
Zhou Shuxuan has been forced to a dead end, and the chess under his hand has gradually revealed a murderous aura. He was still saying in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Father and Emperor Shoubi Nanshan, there is no need to be in such a hurry to find a person to be buried." I'm afraid it will make the courtiers guess. ”
Now that he is out of the way, he began to say nothing in order to protect Miaoli. The bad thing about this sentence is that you are in a hurry to die to find a martyr so quickly.
The emperor understood the meaning of his words, but he didn't bother with him, and explained the words to him, "I just knew that I didn't have a long time before I started to prepare for this. Nanshan is dead, people are alive, and it is definitely death like Nanshan. There is nothing to shy away from going through this experience. ”
Zhou Shuxuan was silent.
The emperor said: "I don't like you for most of my life, and I have never fulfilled any fatherly responsibilities to you, and this is the last thing I can do for you." ”
Zhou Shuxuan raised his hand violently and waved off the chessboard, slapped the table, and shouted: "I'd rather you don't like me in your life, don't do anything for me!" ”
Then he pulled his legs and left, he also wanted to spend the last time as a father and son with the emperor, but the emperor deceived people too much. To do something for him is to kill his beloved, what is the reason!
"Stop!" The emperor shouted to him, "You can have a temper as you like, but people must be sent to the palace." Otherwise, I will have to do it myself, and I will find her out after searching the capital, and the first one is the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”
Zhou Shuxuan clenched his fists and continued to walk out without looking back.
I went all the way to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and wanted to discuss with the eldest princess what to do.
When he arrived at the place, Zhou Shuxuan didn't alarm too many people, and waited for the eldest princess in the small hall.
After waiting for a while, the eldest princess came in from the outside in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she said, "What are you doing here, at the end of the year, I am busy with food, and I am very busy." ”
Zhou Shuxuan told the eldest princess everything he said to the emperor, and the eldest princess was not so busy in an instant, so she sat down and quietly thought about countermeasures.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhou Shuxuan said: "It's better to send people out of Beijing now, and then go to Zhili, or then go to Jinju." The emperor doesn't have much time, and he will bring people back when it's over. ”
The eldest princess analyzed: "Since the emperor told you, it will inevitably be difficult for people to guard the city gate, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to send people out, but you can still give it a try." It's just a little bit, what does Xiao Shuang'er say? ”
Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to deceive Miaoli, let alone lie one lie after another, but now he really had to do it.
"I said that I found a hot spring outside, which is suitable for her body. There are many hot springs in Jinju, so she shouldn't doubt it. ”
The eldest princess couldn't think of a better way, so she did as he did, and asked, "Shall I go and say it or do you go yourself?" I think you said she would believe it a little more. ”
Zhou Shuxuan wanted to see Miaoli again, but he suspected that someone arranged by the emperor was staring at him. "Trouble aunt, the emperor is already guessing that she is there for you, and I went to tell the emperor directly."
"Okay, that's it. Everything will be handled by me, you don't have to do anything, so as not to make the emperor suspicious. ”
After the two agreed, the eldest princess handed over all the things in her hands to King Qi, went back to the eldest princess's mansion by herself, and went directly to the place where Miao Li lived.
Miao Li is still in a daze, and her head is empty and she can't think.
