Chapter 25: The Secret Letter
Mrs. Qi instructed a little palace maid to arrange a room for them to live in, told them to freshen up first, and then follow the palace people to familiarize themselves with the situation of the Yuzao Palace, and the two of them thanked Mrs. Qi and then followed the little palace maid out.
A hint of cunning flashed in Ruyi's lively eyes, his eyes rolled, and he let go of Mrs. Qi's hand, stood in front of several eunuchs and female palace people, spread his legs and crossed his hands on his waist, and pointed to them to play with him. The maids and eunuchs had lingering palpitations about what happened last time, and they each swallowed saliva nervously, unwilling to follow each other, and looked at each other left and right with a look of embarrassment, and cautiously raised their eyes and glanced at Mrs. Qi, who looked at Ruyi with a serious face to see what Ruyi wanted.
Liu Ru didn't move these people, so he pursed his mouth, took a step closer to them, and pointed at them with one hand on his waist and the other pointed at them with a naughty grin: "What a boldness, dare not listen to me?" Believe it or not, I'm going to let you do the same as last time? ”
Those maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they took a step back, lowered their heads even more and didn't dare to speak, and even some of the female palace people trembled, their eyes gurgling, looking at the Ruyi figure walking around on the ground.
Ruyi walked in front of a eunuch, the eunuch bowed his head, Ruyi lifted his clothes and tilted his head to look at him, the eunuch's head was lower, so that Ruyi couldn't look at him, so he simply grabbed his ear, and the person screamed in pain.
"I told you to hide, and I didn't let me see, I asked my father to kill you." Ruyi, who was not tall, insisted on pulling that person down and being as tall as himself.
The man knelt down and only shouted for mercy, and Ruyi was willing to let him go, but he still kept holding on. Grinning and holding her head high, she smiled triumphantly, Mrs. Qi sighed at this, shook her head helplessly, and sighed, "In his world, it's just playing." ”
Jing Tian looked at this interesting scene and smiled, this is Liu Ruyi's innocent and happy world. Seeing that the acting king was playing and making trouble, he walked over, squatted down and hugged Ruyi and coaxed: "Your Highness, if you are a king in the future, how can you treat your people like this?" It would be counterproductive for you to do so. Okay, okay, our Royal Highness is the most well-behaved, why don't you let him go, how about Jing Tian play with you? Jing Tian knew Ruyi best, and she knew that she had to coax him to follow him.
Liu Ruyi was held in Jing Tian's arms, why did she feel different from her mother's embrace? His big blazing eyes blinked at Jing Tian, "Sister Jing Tian, why do you want me to be the king?" Isn't the prince's brother supposed to be a monarch? ”
Ruyi was very bored and walked out of Jing Tian's arms, didn't mess around or say where to play, and returned to his room with his head down and sat sullenly.
Seeing Ruyi like this, Jing Tian didn't know what he meant, and looked at Mrs. Qi with a questioning face, Mrs. Qi looked sad and said deflatedly, "He doesn't want to be an emperor at all." Mrs. Qi hung her head and said: "Ruyi is only eight years old, so he was involved in the royal struggle, I ......"
"Madam, we can't consider the meaning of the acting king, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and we must fight to have a day of peace of mind." Jing Tian is like Mrs. Qi's refueling agent, whenever she is discouraged, Jing Tian will always help her ignite hope.
Mrs. Qi's eyes showed unprecedented exhaustion and reluctance, so she had to nod.
The two of them sorted out their thoughts and stopped thinking about it, whether she wanted to be the emperor or not, she had to gamble, if she succeeded, it would be the real turnover, and the bet would be lost...... No, Madam Qi won't let it lose in betting, she has the ace emperor in her hand, as long as she holds him tightly, she won't lose anything.
The hall was silent for a while, and Mrs. Qi sat on the mat and tasted the tea ceremony. As soon as she said about the change of reserves, Jing Tian suddenly remembered the matter of Changxin Palace, but she didn't know whether to tell Mrs. Qi or not, after all, the queen said that she would not let her tell what she saw, a kind of entanglement filled her eyes, and her teeth kept biting her lip.
Mrs. Qi drank tea and saw that Jing Tian didn't speak, and was there in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. Mrs. Qi put down the tea and got up and walked over, calling her name softly, "Jing Tilt, Jing Tilt." Seeing that she didn't react, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and only then did Jing Tian pull back his wandering thoughts.
Seeing Mrs. Qi so close to him, and looking at her strangely, he felt very uncomfortable, and said in a panic, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
Seeing that Jing Tian was finally normal, he smiled, "What's wrong with you, why are you stunned?" ”
Jing Tian was silent again, scratching his forehead and frowning, feeling that the two thoughts were fighting, and he didn't know whether to talk about what he had seen and heard in Changxin Palace.
Jing Tian unconsciously put his index finger in his mouth, but suddenly 'oops', it turned out that he was distracted and bit his index finger by mistake. I blew my fingers and shook them, still hurting a little. Mrs. Qi was really funny when she looked at her, and she covered her mouth and tried her best to hold back her smile. Jing poured out a mouthful of saliva, grabbed Mrs. Qi's hand, and stared at Mrs. Qi with serious and solemn eyes: "Madame......" She wanted to speak and stopped.
Mrs. Qi was still a little smiling, but seeing that she was so weird today, she first brought two maids from Changxin Palace, and now she spoke so much, the spring breeze smile on Mrs. Qi's face gradually disappeared, and she held her shoulder, "What's the matter?" You need to tell me. ”
Jing Tian bit his lip, looked at Mrs. Qi with a sincere look, approached Mrs. Qi and said solemnly and cautiously, "Madam, when the slave went to Changxin Palace to plead with the queen today, I saw a dead man carried out of the queen's palace, it seemed to be an assassin, it was a man, and he was drenched in blood from the whip, but the queen looked very proud and angry, I don't know what happened to the queen again." ”
At first hearing the assassin, Mrs. Qi was first taken aback, nervous, and soon relaxed, with a serious and unbelieving look, and hurriedly took Jing Tian's hand and said, "Really? ”
"Seriously." Jing Tian said with certainty.
Mrs. Qi squinted her eyes and thought about Jing Tian's words, "When did it happen, why didn't we know anything about it?" ”
"It seems that it was last night, and the assassin was wearing a night suit. Madam, you don't know, Changxin Palace has mobilized a lot of Imperial Forest Army, the queen must have blocked this news, and she also told me not to talk about it, otherwise it will ......" Speaking of this, he stopped talking, and continued as soon as he changed his words, "Maybe the emperor doesn't know, otherwise how could Chang'an City be so calm now, and the queen's assassination is extremely serious." ”
Mrs. Qi listened to these things, although she didn't encounter them herself, but she only felt thrilled. She couldn't figure out how the queen had managed to get through this, and how the assassin had been caught. There is also the true identity of the assassin, why did he dare to risk his life to assassinate the queen, and why didn't the queen tell the emperor, this series of questions, Mrs. Qi was out of breath, if it was really the queen's wisdom and wisdom that escaped this catastrophe, Mrs. Qi felt that the queen was too powerful.
Mrs. Qi was a little discouraged by the queen's bravery for a while, and she really felt that such a woman was unusual. Thinking that this happened to me, I was afraid that I would faint with fright at that time. Even if the Assassin did not kill himself, he would tell the Emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly the next day. She couldn't understand how the queen had settled the matter alone, and killed the assassin in turn, and did not report the matter to the emperor, so she ordered the news to be blocked, and pressed the matter down so that no one except Changxin Palace knew about it.
"Lu Pheasant, what does she think? Such a woman is really scary. Mrs. Qi was puzzled in her heart, and she unconsciously put her index finger in her mouth, and suddenly screamed "ouch", only to realize that she was the same as Jing Tian just now, and blew her fingers in pain. Seeing this, Jing Tian hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Qi's finger to check it carefully, and Mrs. Qi smiled, "I actually learned from you." Jing Tian swallowed the words in his throat with a 'uh', and smiled awkwardly.
Mrs. Qi paced back and forth in the hall a few times, waved her hand and said, "Since she won't let you say it, then we should not have such a thing, it is better to cause less trouble, and you and I will not be blamed for accidents in the future." Mrs. Qi continued to say proudly: "I didn't expect the queen to have so many enemies. ”
Although they didn't say anything about it, they both knew in their hearts that the queen had been at a disadvantage these days, and there was no one to vent to, and it happened that this assassin ran into the muzzle.
Mrs. Qi thought that things were boring these days, so she called Jing Tian, "Let's play the next round of chess." Jing Tian went to the apse and brought Go and put it on a few cases, sat down opposite Mrs. Qi, spread out the silk chess surface and placed the chess pieces one by one, and asked Mrs. Qi to take the first step, but saw Mrs. Qi's eyes looking at her in a daze, Jing Tian touched her cheek in surprise, and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
"Why do you only have one earring?" Mrs. Qi fiddled with the chess pieces at this time, and inadvertently saw an earring hanging from Jing Tian's ear, so she asked casually.
Jing Tian touched his hand and exclaimed in surprise, "yes, why didn't I notice, maybe I accidentally lost it." ”
