Chapter 475: Teammates
The crown princess Wei Yuze knelt among several old concubines, glancing at Queen Jiang from time to time, the prince asked her to find an opportunity to ask what happened in the Niangniang Palace, but from the time she came in to the present, don't talk, she didn't even have a chance to take a look, the place where she knelt was pointed out to her by Li Xia.
Wei Yuze subconsciously aimed at Li Xia, and his heart became even more anxious.
She didn't know what was going on, but the tension between Li Xia and Empress Jiang and her vigilance, she could clearly feel that Niangniang seemed to be coerced by Li Xia, she asked her to kneel here, and Niangniang actually nodded!
More and more foreign women came in, and the hall was crowded.
Empress Jiang straightened up slightly and looked at Li Xia, "I'm sorry for you to go, please ask Prince Qin to ask the emperor to show me, concubines, the old ladies are old, can you allow them to rest for half an hour for a quarter of an hour, the queen mother was the most merciful during her lifetime, and in the spirit of heaven, if you see everyone hurting because of her spirit, you must be sad and unbearable." ”
"Yes." Li Xia lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes in agreement, stood up with his hands on the ground, walked to the curtain, and said a few words to Eunuch Huang in a low voice.
After a while, Eunuch Huang walked all the way to Empress Jiang's side, "The emperor will tell you." The rest of the refreshments are all about the details, please make your own arrangements and take care of the concubines and old ladies, so as not to hurt the Queen Mother. ”
Empress Jiang responded, looked at the crown princess Wei Yuze from a distance and said, "When you go to arrange refreshments and soup, you must be careful and cautious." ”
Wei Yuze hurriedly agreed, got up and retreated to the back of the hall.
Empress Jiang leaned at Li Xia, but said to everyone: "Let's go change clothes and take a break." ”
Tang Jiashan lowered her head and stepped forward and helped Li Xia up, "The princess is mourning." ”
……………………
Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xu were of low grade, kneeling near the palace gate, watching Tang Jiashan help up Li Xia, who looked haggard and abnormal, Mrs. Xu's tears fell down like beads, holding Mrs. Yan tightly, her voice trembled slightly, "Ah Xia, is she okay?" ”
"Don't worry, ma'am." Mrs. Ruan, who was kneeling in the front row, moved her knees back very quickly, and while helping Mrs. Xu up, she whispered: "It's going to be fine, let's go and rest too, this is the palace, Madame must be stable." ”
"That's true, let's go, let's go change our clothes." Mrs. Yan stood up and glared at Mrs. Xu in a warning manner, and Mrs. Xu immediately pursed her mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.
Before coming, her sister-in-law warned her that Ah Xia and the prince were here, she couldn't help, just don't make trouble, she just talked a lot.
……………………
Tang Jiashan helped the weak Li Xia into the side hall, and the maid carried a few soups and put them on the side table, Tang Jiashan looked at it, "The princess will drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge." ”
Without waiting for her to pick it up, Li Xia shook his head and said, "I can't eat anything at this time, I can't even drink saliva." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Min who was sitting next to her, and tears fell again, "Niangniang is gone." ”
Old Madam Min burst into tears, nodding her head constantly, but she was choked up and unable to speak.
"The princess wants to mourn." Princess Jiang sat sideways on the other side of Li Xia and held Li Xia's hand, "Princess's hand is cold, you have to eat something." ”
"I can't eat it." Li Xia choked up, "I'll talk about it later." ”
Han Shanggong took two middle-aged maids out of the tea in the corner of the side hall, motioned for the two maids to wait in the corner of the hall, walked in front of Li Xia by himself, and bowed his knees.
When Mrs. Min saw Han Shanggong, she subconsciously leaned forward, looked at Han Shanggong, and wanted to ask something, but she opened her mouth but couldn't speak, this is not the place to speak.
"Huang Daban is old, and he is tired all night, so he can bring enough people around him, don't tire him." Li Xia looked at Han Shanggong and asked with something in his words.
"Everyone is here, don't worry, princess." Han Shanggong replied in a low voice.
"You go and tell Huang Daban again, the prince has received the holy order and is in charge of the funeral of the mother, this is a big event, and there must be no shortage of manpower." Li Xia stared at Han Shanggong and instructed again, what she was most worried about was the safety of King Qin, and she was most worried about their unexpectedness, and what they thought was impossible and undaring.
There is nothing that Empress Jiang does not dare.
"Yes, the old slave will go and tell Huang Daban, the princess is here ......" Han Shanggong looked at a few soups that had not moved.
"You go first, I'm fine." Li Xia instructed Han Shanggong.
Old Madam Min pursed her lips tightly, with fear in her eyes, she was so worried about the safety of the prince!
……………………
In the other corner of the side hall, Queen Jiang was tired and crooked on the couch, looking at Li Xia who was weak diagonally from a distance, she couldn't say anything in her heart, shame and anger were mixed with anger, and there was a hint of fear.
At this time, she suddenly realized that this night, until now, she has been led by her nose.
She promised her to withdraw all the people in the palace from the Queen Mother, and she actually believed it!
Empress Jiang clenched her fists tightly, her nails pierced into her palms, and there was a tingling pain.
She's dead, what use is her manpower in the palace? How can she use whether she can withdraw or not, if she doesn't withdraw, she will be killed, that is, withdraw, withdraw, what about those chess pieces hidden in the shadows? Don't you still have to dig it out and clean it up one by one?
She's dizzy!
Three years of filial piety...... Queen Jiang's sneer didn't arouse it, she froze on her face, she also believed it, what difference does it make if he keeps filial piety or not?
Empress Jiang looked at the weak Li Xia again, she was actually bewitched by her, she was actually threatened by her, she was suppressed by her until now!
A yaksha died, and another evil came.
"I asked you to take care of the soup and snacks, do you understand what I mean?" Empress Jiang glanced at Li Xia again, turned her gaze, and looked at the crown princess Wei Yuze, her voice was gloomy.
Wei Yuze shuddered lightly, and looked at Queen Jiang suspiciously, when she heard this sentence, her first reaction was that she was going to poison her, the thought just came up, and she hurriedly vetoed it, where did she want to go, how could she have such a thought......
"Mix a bowl of soup and send it to the Li family, you can mix it yourself, and I'll let someone bring it to you." Empress Jiang's voice was low and cold.
Wei Yuze stayed for a moment, and looked at Empress Jiang in disbelief, "Niangniang's words, I didn't understand ......"
"Kill her." Empress Jiang's eyes showed a hint of contempt, she hated such a pretentious gesture, or such cowardice.
"!" Wei Yuze's face changed.
Empress Jiang didn't speak, she just looked at Wei Yuze coldly, Wei Yuze's hairs stood on end at her, and cold sweat flowed down her back. Because of the gloom in Queen Jiang's eyes, and because of Queen Jiang's command.
"Listen, you and I are one, and we ...... with them" Empress Jiang looked at Su Guifei and Tang Jiayu and the others not far from Su Guifei from Li Xia, "Either they die, or we die, you don't want to die, right?" ”
Wei Yuze couldn't speak, but the cold sweat on his back no longer flowed, only the wet and cold on his back was extremely uncomfortable.
"That's a more terrible evil than the Queen Mother, if we don't do it today, tomorrow, you and I will have to die at her hands. Go ahead. Empress Jiang stretched out her hand to pick up the bowl of ginseng soup, lowered her eyes and slowly sipped it.
Wei Yuze replied in a low voice and moved into the pantry next to him.
……………………
Han Shanggong passed the word and came back, this time the change of clothes and rest came in a quarter of an hour, Han Shanggong stood in the corner of the hall, watching the maid pack up several bowls of soup that had not moved, and was a little stunned, the princess's vigilance was stronger than the vigilance and vigilance of the mother in the prince before.
……………………
On the other side of the inky black curtain, Jin Zhuoyan finally found an opportunity to get close to King Qin.
"Are you alright?" Jin Zhuoyan looked at King Qin, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and when this sentence came out, it was a little embarrassing.
"You know everything?" King Qin looked at Jin Zhuoyan, Jin Zhuoyan was stunned, "What do you know?" ”
King Qin didn't answer, and after a while, tears welled up, "I'm alive...... Can you live......" King Qin trembled his voice and couldn't go on.
Jin Zhuoyan looked at King Qin with a blank look, for a moment, his eyes widened a little, and he suddenly grabbed King Qin's arm, "He? ”
King Qin looked at Jin Cunyan, who was full of horror, nodded slowly, and nodded again, "Let's go, let's go together." ”
As soon as Jin Zhuoyan's hand loosened, his arm seemed to have lost his vitality, and he fell to the ground, his face twisted, "I know!" I should have killed him, I should have killed him a long time ago! ”
"No, let's go back and talk about it." King Qin patted Jin Cunyan lightly, "Hand a message to your aunt and take care of Ah Xia." ”
"Okay, don't worry." Jin Humble agreed, and glanced around, "Let Chengying come in and wait?" ”
King Qin was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”
Jin Zhuoyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately put his whole body on guard as if he was facing a great enemy, and the prince was in danger.
……………………
Half an hour for a quarter of an hour, but in fact half an hour for a quarter of an hour, after three quarters of an hour, everyone retreated again to the side hall and the temporary reed sheds set up everywhere, to change clothes and rest.
Tang Jiashan helped Li Xia to the side hall, Wei Yuze greeted Li Xia, lowered his eyes and said: "Please take care of yourself, according to the instructions of the mother, specially prepared soup for the princess, the princess should take care of herself." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Li Xia's hand, squeezed it twice, took a step back, moved sideways, and passed by Li Xia.
Tang Jiashan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, Wei Yuze's words were very usual, but how could she have a feeling that something was wrong?
Li Xia lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking at his hands.
At the behest of the mother, the soup specially prepared for her......
Tang Jiashan helped Li Xia to sit down, and a female envoy held the tray and sent it to Li Xia, "Princess, this is the soup prepared for you." ”
"Thank you." Li Xia stretched out his hand to pick up the soup, Tang Jiashan looked at the waitress who retreated with her hands down, and subconsciously wanted to reach out in front of Li Xia.
Li Xia pushed her hand away, "I want to go outside to breathe, you accompany me?" ”
Tang Jiashan hurriedly responded, followed Li Xia who was carrying the bowl of soup, and came out of the side hall.
Behind the side hall is a small garden, the flowers and trees are just right, and the birds are singing.
Li Xia stood under the porch, turned her head to look around, Tang Jiashan stood next to Li Xia, glanced at the soup in her hand from time to time, and hesitated: "Niangniang also specially ordered the soup......
Li Xia hummed plausibly, walked to the side with the soup and walked to the starling who was only drinking with his wings open, and raised his hand to pour some of the soup into the starling's water.
Tang Jiashan didn't know what to think, her face changed slightly, and she stared straight at the starling.
The starling drank one sip after another, the soup that was much more fragrant than just now, drank four or five sips, paused, stretched his neck, stretched again, and suddenly let out a sharp scream.
Li Xia's hand shook, and the soup in his hand smashed to the ground along with the bowl.
Tang Jiashan looked at the starling who was spreading his wings and plopping hard.
The little chamberlain on duty not far away hurriedly stepped forward to take off the starling shelf, and while pinching the starling's back behind him, he knelt on the ground in horror and pleaded guilty to Li Xia, "Little ......"
"I'm scared of it, take it down and bury it." Li Xia looked down at the soup and broken porcelain on the ground, "Pick up a few buckets of water and wipe this place clean." ”
Tang Jiashan only felt that his scalp was numb, his legs trembled vigorously, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the pillar, his eyes followed calmly and leisurely to Li Xia on the other side, took a deep breath, pushed away the pillar, and followed.
"Thanks to Tamasawa ......"
"Back then, Niangniang watched her for two or three years, but she always couldn't make up her mind, probably because of this." Li Xia interrupted Tang Jiashan's words and squinted at her.
Tang Jiashan looked at Li Xia directly, and for a while, he suddenly gasped violently and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"You go in person, tell the prince what happened just now, and then tell him that the bloodline of the Jiang family is the same character." Li Xia then commanded.
Tang Jiashan hadn't eased his breath much, and he jerked up again, yes, there can be such a means here, so the prince is there......
"I'll go." Tang Jiashan was about to turn around, but was grabbed by Li Xia, "It's not a big deal to calm down first." Tang Jiashan nodded again and again, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, and after a moment, looked at Li Xia and nodded, "Okay." ”
"Hmm." Li Xia let go of her hand, Tang Jiashan turned around and walked around, Li Xia stared at her back for a moment, and looked away, it was okay, at least it looked the same as usual. No wonder Jin Cunyan didn't let her get close to him and get close to the palace government.
Tang Jiashan found Jin Cunyan and whispered about the bowl of soup, but before he finished speaking, tears couldn't stop falling, "...... The princess also said that the bloodline of the Jiang family is the same character. I ......"
Tang Jiashan looked at Jin Shuyan, a word stuck in her throat, trembling, she has lived for more than 20 years, and she has been frightened and shocked together, which is not as good as one percent of what she saw and heard at this moment.
"Calm, this is not the time to cry, did the princess still tell anything?" Jin Shuyan grabbed Tang Jiashan's hand and squeezed it hard, and his tone was a little stern.
"Let me bring Duan Yan in, my wife said she arranged it." Tang Jiashan used all her strength to swallow back the urge to tremble and cry one after another.
"Don't be afraid, it's fine." Jin Shuyan raised his hand and pressed it on Tang Jiashan's shoulder, "You have been with the princess for the past few days, you can do whatever she says, if you don't know what to do, go to the grandmother, it's okay, it's nothing." Thank you for your hard work. ”
"Hmm." Jin Zhuoyan pressed the hand on Tang Jiashan's shoulder hard, making her feel much better, "Then I'll go." ”
Jin Zhuoyan grabbed Tang Jiashan, sent a few steps, and watched Tang Jiashan disappear quickly, before turning around to find Lu Yi.
