Act 161 The Iron Wolf Clan Never Invades
After Hu Yi's death, Tie Haitang seemed to be a different person, turning a deaf ear to trivial matters, and locked himself in the room without eating or drinking. Even Tie Junshan's arrival was unintentional, and he was unwilling to open the door even though he was calling outside.
The eleventh prince who accompanied him looked quite embarrassed by this, and coughed lightly, "You two brothers and sisters must have something to talk about, and this king will leave first." ”
"There is the eleventh prince of Lao, go slowly, and I will not send it far." Tie Junshan responded respectfully.
It wasn't until the eleventh prince walked away that Tie Haitang slowly opened the door, his face was full of tears of grievance, and he immediately threw himself into Tie Junshan's arms and wept bitterly.
After a moment of reassurance, they officially entered the topic and discussed the next matters.
Originally, the turmoil of the Iron Wolf Clan was a foregone conclusion, and Yu Xuanxun also let go of the worries in his heart, but Hu Yi's words before he died were like a nightmare, lingering.
In the past few days, her spirit has obviously fallen a lot, and Luo Er is very distressed in her eyes, "The slave doesn't know what the mother is thinking, but the body is important, so you have to relax your mind." ”
"This palace understands, you should go and get busy." Yuxuanxun absentmindedly took Luo'er.
The names of two people involuntarily appeared in my heart, Jiao Jiuxing and Pang Tian.
As long as these two stingers hidden in the darkness can be removed, then Yuxuanxun will be at ease. At least for the emperor's safety, there is a little less crisis.
However, Lord Rui couldn't wait for news for a long time, and only silently prayed that things would go well.
The collegial proposal of the Iron Wolf clan finally came to an end under the signature of Tie Junshan, and the matter of harmony was put forward without suspense, but what people didn't expect was that the object was not the princess, but the official lady he met by chance on the way.
This news is great news for Princess Huayang.
The emperor even set up a banquet to see them off, and Yuxuanxun was also invited, showing a lack of interest from beginning to end.
On the contrary, Princess Huayang showed a little sympathy for Tie Haitang, probably because of the lack of resistance in her heart, and after contact, she found that each other's temperaments were quite similar, so as soon as they talked, they talked endlessly.
"Little sister Haitang didn't understand the rules when she first arrived in your country, if there is a collision that is not thoughtful, I hope the emperor can understand." Immediately, his expression was gloomy and his expression was solemn, "Hu Yi's matter, Xiao Wang is also deeply shocked, from now on, this king swears to your country that my iron wolf clan will never invade the Ziqing Dynasty from now on." ”
The emperor's hearty laughter immediately sounded, and he raised his glass and said, "Don't mention the past, the most important thing is the present, I hope we can get along in harmony in the future and be like a family." ”
"Yes, live in harmony and be like a family. Xiao Wang respects the emperor and hopes that your country will be prosperous and prosperous in the future. Tie Junshan drank it all in one go.
Yuxuan was looking for a lack of interest to deal with Xi San, and the emperor had already noticed that something was wrong, so he went with him on the grounds of going to see Che'er, but in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask clearly.
However, before entering the Deren Palace, he was pulled away by Princess Huayang in a hurry, and the emperor could only follow him helplessly.
It is rumored that Tie Haitang found the eleventh prince to talk all night before leaving, Shi Ruomei felt uncomfortable after knowing it, and he avoided the eleventh prince for the past few days, and then derived various theories.
Although Yuxuanxun didn't believe it, he couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, and took Luo'er to see Shi Ruomei.
The magpie came with a worried face, and when she saw her, she hurriedly asked for help, "It just so happened that Niangniang came, you should hurry up and help persuade her, the teacher girl has been unwell for the past few days, but she insists on not going to the doctor." The slave saw her condition worsening day by day, and was about to go to the eleventh prince to come forward. ”
Yuxuan found out that he had been persuaded to go in for a while, but he didn't move her. In desperation, he had no choice but to use force and forcibly carry her to the Taiyi Bureau.
The eleventh prince also rushed to come, and Yu Xuanxun quietly retreated. But when he left, he found the big eunuch in front of the Queen Mother, and his behavior was very sneaky.
So without waiting for Luo'er, who went to get the medicine, to come back, he secretly followed him. After going around and around, he came to the imperial dining room, and a little eunuch immediately came out to meet him.
In order to listen more truthfully, Yu Xuanxun quietly leaned closer.
"It is inevitably suspicious, you must be careful when you take the drug, and remember not to be discovered, otherwise the deeds will be revealed, and it will be a big crime to kill the head and punish the nine clans."
The little eunuch nodded cautiously and cautiously, "Don't worry, my lord, the Queen Mother's meals are all delivered by the little one herself, and they will never be noticed." ”
"This is the best, although this chronic poison will not be fatal immediately, at least it can be used by the Queen Mother obediently, as long as Jiao Ye's plan is successful, we don't have to continue to stay in the palace and steal our lives."
The little eunuch hurriedly whispered, "If the adults are prosperous in the future, as long as you don't forget the little ones." ”
"Do things well, and your benefits are indispensable after the work is done."
I wanted to tell the emperor the news, but when I left, my whereabouts were exposed, and I hurriedly prepared to flee the scene. But in the end, he still couldn't escape their tracking, and the big eunuch said with a hideous face, "Our conversation must have been heard by Concubine Xunniang, then this harem can't accommodate you." ”
"Who are you, and why do you want to harm the Queen Mother?" Yu Xuanxun asked rhetorically as he stepped back.
But he did not answer any more, and together with the little eunuch, he gradually forced her into a corner.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat behind him, as long as there was an ancient well covered with moss, Yu Xuanxun opened his mouth vigilantly, "Killing me will not do you the slightest benefit, do you think that a missing imperial concubine can let you hide from the world?" ”
"Don't worry, you have your own way of dealing with it after you die, so you can die obediently." The big eunuch approached step by step, and Yuxuan fell into the dry well in a hurry.
With a scream, Yuxuanxun, who thought that his death was coming, escaped by luck.
When she woke up, she found that there was a hole at the bottom of the well, and it was her father-in-law Xin An, who was serving the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu, who saved her.
Yu Xuanxun exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't my father-in-law go to guard the mausoleum for the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu, so he would appear here?" ”
Father-in-law Xin An said with deep emotion, "Since the death of the Queen Mother, the old slave has always suspected that her death has another inside story, but the old slave does not dare to rashly express the suspicion in his heart without evidence. This place was discovered by chance, so the old slave has been hiding here for a long time to secretly investigate the truth of the matter, but accidentally saved you, the concubine. Maybe it was the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu who assigned the old slave to protect the mother secretly. ”
"I wonder what my father-in-law found out?" Yu Xuanxun couldn't wait to ask.
A sigh came immediately, and Father-in-law Xin An sighed, "The old slave found out that the real name of the great eunuch serving the Empress Dowager Xiaohui was Pang Tian, and the purpose of sneaking into the palace was to bewitch the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, so as to use her identity to suppress the emperor, so as to achieve the big conspiracy they were hiding behind. ”
"My father-in-law knows that the person who pushed me down is also this person." Yu Xuanxun suddenly exclaimed, "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, but that person is in the dim light." I really didn't expect Pang Tian to hide in Cixiang Palace, no wonder King Rui and his wife searched for a long time but there was no news. ”
"What are you going to do next?"
Yu Xuanxun pondered for a moment, and then thought about making a decision again, "Pang Tian didn't hesitate to kill me, and there was not the slightest hesitation on his face, which showed that he had already prepared. If I show up so rashly, maybe they will be calculated, and instead of passively exposing people, it is better to let them hide in the shadows when I am dead and slowly investigate their plots. ”
"What Niangniang said is not unreasonable, although Pang Tian is bold, but if there is no imperial concubine behind his back to support him, maybe his behavior will not dare to be so bold." Father-in-law Xin An said worriedly, "For the sake of safety, it is advisable for Niangniang to stay here and wait for it to happen." ”
"Niangniang doesn't know that the man in black who killed the little prince's nurse that day came out of the imperial concubine." Father-in-law Xin An told her everything he saw, "Their purpose is also to prevent us from revising the friendship treaty with the people of the Iron Wolf Clan, so the old slave is worried that the reason why they are doing this is to disadvantage the emperor." ”
Yu Xuanxun analyzed this speculation, "According to what my father-in-law said, it is not that they colluded with Hu Yi, so they would commit murder in the palace so unscrupulously. Now the Iron Wolf Clan has promised never to violate the treaty, and their plot has been completely shattered. However......"
However, I am afraid that their purpose is not these, for the sake of the emperor and the Ziqing Dynasty, the old slave thinks that it is better to investigate clearly. When necessary, annihilate them in one fell swoop and stifle their intrigues. ”
Yuxuan Xun stayed at the bottom of the well for a day and a night, and Xin'an's father-in-law was relieved to go out to find her some food, and by the way, he inquired about the situation outside.
Seeing his solemn expression, Yu Xuanxun had already guessed a few points, "Is there something wrong outside?" ”
"Now there are rumors outside that Niangniang Niang has escaped with you, causing the tribute of the Iron Wolf envoy to disappear. The Empress Dowager Xiaohui even decreed that she would find her mother no matter what, and punish her severely. Xin An's father-in-law was worried about this, "As long as the mother goes out, she will be caught in the net, and she still has to find another countermeasure to deal with it carefully." ”
"How's the little prince?" At this moment, Yuxuanxun is most worried about Che'er.
Father-in-law Xin An put down the food in his hand and opened his mouth hesitantly, "The little prince was still taken away by the imperial concubine, and the emperor is now looking for his mother, and he has lost his mind about the little prince for a while." ”
"The emperor is sometimes too emotional." Yu Xuanxun was worried that they would take advantage of the emperor's weakness to attack and design him, so he ordered Xin'an's father-in-law to find a way to help her send a letter to the emperor.
The more times like this, the more we must let the emperor calm down, and we must not be blinded by the superficial scene and lose our proportions.
She doesn't want to be the weakness of the emperor and let him be controlled by others everywhere.
