Chapter 156: The Name of Malevolence
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Yan Hao administers needles to Chu Qinghe every day, and now the man is half better, although the memory of the past is still a little vague, but it is much better than the previous question.
At the same time, war reports came from the border, saying that the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale, not only massacring ordinary people, but also looting the grain and women.
Even if the battle report is delivered directly to the emperor, there is still no impermeable wall under the sky. Within three days, news came out, making the situation in the border city clear.
Knowing that the compatriots are living in dire straits, from the emperor to the common people, they are all surging with endless anger, and they can't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and frustrate the prestige of the Huns!
In the past, Chu Qinghe was stationed at the border pass, and whenever the battle started, he rushed in front of the battle, killing many enemy generals, and in the eyes of the Huns, he was like a rakshasa crawling out of hell, but in the eyes of the people in the border city, the auxiliary marquis was their protector, without him, ordinary people could not live a stable life at all.
In previous years, the Xiongnu did not dare to be so arrogant, but as soon as the news of the fall of the Fuguo Marquis came out, the situation was a little bad.
In the eyes of the Xiongnu king, Dayu did not have a general, at this moment he was like a beast with his fangs and claws cut off, except for a fat body of muscles and muscles, there was no threat at all.
The saint sent men and horses to the border city, and finally curbed the decline, but the Huns grew up on horseback since childhood, very brave, and now they are plundering grain and grass for the winter, and they will do their best, and those soldiers want to defend the city, and the difficulty is not small.
After Chu Qinghe learned about the battle situation, he couldn't wait to rush to the border immediately, but there were still ten days before he could finish the needle, even if he was anxious, it would be useless.
During this period of time, Xue Su was busy with his head and heels, and finally got free, and after resting at home for a long time, he saw Xu Cheng hurrying to the door of the master bedroom, followed by a white-faced and beardless eunuch, who had a pair of hanging eyes, and there was a bit of disdain in his eyes, presumably the person who came was not good.
Even if he is in the palace and has seen countless beauties with delicate appearances, each with its own merits, but at this moment the eunuch has to admit that the wife of the Auxiliary Marquis in front of him is really not bad, even if she is not young, she is still more delicate than the twenty-eight girl, her skin is like clotted fat and her hair is like ink clouds, and her facial features are exquisite, which is rare in the world. It's a pity that she became a widow and offended the imperial concubine, and I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future.
"Mrs. Chu, right? The imperial concubine was summoned, please go to the palace with our family. โ
Xue Su frowned slightly, if she remembered correctly, the imperial concubine was the biological mother of the fifth prince and Princess Jinyue, she and Jinyue had already formed a deep hatred, and it was probably nothing good to summon herself at this moment.
Even if she knew that something was wrong, Xue Su couldn't refuse, just because the imperial concubine was noble, even if she was slightly inferior to the queen, but she was deeply favored by the emperor, such a woman lacked all kinds of thoughts and means, and she didn't know what kind of game she would set up, waiting for herself to jump.
At present, Chu Qinghe was standing aside, and when he heard this, he was very anxious, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Su Niang frowning and shaking his head gently.
"Father-in-law, the courtiers will clean up, and they will be able to leave later." Xue Su said lightly.
"Mrs. Chu, don't delay, if you let the imperial concubine wait for a long time, can you afford it?" The inner servant doesn't care what Xue Su's identity is, anyway, she will definitely not be pleasing today, and the status of Mrs. Zhengyi's life may not be able to be kept, and there will be no such internal supervisors as they will be at that time, so it is really feng shui in turn.
Xue Su didn't care about him, walked up to Chu Qinghe, lowered his voice and said, "You stay at home for a long time, I have my own way to get out." โ
"What can you do? They're going to hurt you! The human skin mask covered on his face, even if it looked like the real thing, it was not human skin, but from those bloodshot eagle eyes, Xue Su could clearly feel how anxious Chu Qinghe was.
"I am the Lady of the Auxiliary Kingdom, no matter what, the imperial concubine will not do too much, rest assured."
Seeing that this man and woman were talking as if no one was talking, the waiter was so angry that she fell down, only thinking that the Xue family was really a fool, obviously she had reached a dead end, and she dared to put up a fight, did she really think that the palace was the backyard of the Hou Mansion, she could come if she wanted to, and leave when she wanted?
"Mrs. Chu, why don't you leave quickly?"
There was a shrill voice behind him, like a mosquito buzzing, which was really disturbing. Xue Su frowned slightly, and didn't say anything, but Chu Qinghe couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the chamberlain in a few steps, looked down at him with lowered eyes, and reprimanded coldly, "It's just a little minion, how dare you treat Your Majesty's personal Lady like this, can you put the royal family in your eyes?" Can you put Your Majesty in your eyes? โ
The tall and mighty man was already full of might, and his voice was like a golden ring, which almost scared this servant. His legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and it took him a long time to discern the chill in this man's words, and the blood on his face faded and he shivered.
It is true that his master is the imperial concubine, but there is a queen, a queen mother, and a majesty, so naturally he can't act recklessly, otherwise he will commit a great disrespectful sin, how can he, a little minion, save his life?
Apricot eyes swept over the inner servant, Xue Su didn't want to bother with this kind of villain, turned around and walked out. Seeing the woman's back, the eunuch came back to his senses, climbed up with a roll, and entered the palace in a carriage.
Xue Su thought that she would be taken to the Chengqian Palace where the imperial concubine lived, but when she arrived at the place, she looked up and found that the plaque had three big characters written on it: "Imperial Study".
Is it to face the saint?
This thought flashed through his mind, Xue Su lowered his eyes and slowly walked into the imperial study. At this time, in addition to the saints, there were also imperial concubines and Princess Jinyue wearing veils.
Xue Su's eyesight was not bad, and he could see the young woman's face at a glance. Through a thin veil, the swollen appearance couldn't be covered at all, and it looked really terrible.
"Xue, as the wife of the Hou of the Auxiliary Kingdom, it is just that you are not in the Hou Mansion, but you still add lead powder to the fat cream of the private house, and you really respond to the sentence 'no business, no treachery'."
The imperial concubine is nearly forty years old, but she is well-maintained, she looks like twenty-eight or nine, both beautiful and noble, but it is a pity that her eyes are full of anger, and her voice also contains a thick contempt, obviously she didn't take Xue Su in her eyes.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the courtiers have never added lead powder to the ointment, where do you start?"
Jin Yue's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, and she sobbed lowly, "Father, mother, you must be the master of your son, since you used the seven white creams prepared by Mrs. Chu herself, your son's face has become what it is now, so ugly, so mad, what is the difference between it and evil ghosts?" The appearance of her daughter's family is extremely important, but she was ruined by Mrs. Chu, this is to force Jinyue to her death! โ
As she spoke, Jin Yue took off the tulle from her face, revealing her red and swollen face.
Xue Su had given her a massage before, knowing how sensitive this princess's skin is, it is easy to get out of her way with ordinary creams, if it is really stained with lead powder, I am afraid that it will ulcerate and drain pus at this time, not just red and swollen.
"Princess, the courtiers have something unclear, please explain."
Jin Yue sobbed lowly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, the anger and disgust in her eyes were not hidden at all, "Xue, what else do you want to do?" Isn't it enough that you have harmed this palace so miserably? It's shameless! โ
"Don't say that, it's clear that the princess is extremely disgusted with her courtiers, and she can't wait to kill them quickly, why do you want to use Yan Ruyu's ointment? even made a big deal out of it, deliberately disturbing the saint and the imperial concubine, there must be a demon when things go wrong, don't you think it's strange? โ
Hearing this, Jin Yue sighed in her heart, for fear that her collusion with the Yueshan bandits would be exposed, she gritted her teeth and retorted, "In order to exonerate yourself, you really do everything, you have made up all kinds of lies, this palace has no grudge against you, how can it harm you?" โ
Xue Su has never been lenient and generous, Jinyue has wanted to kill her several times, even if she is a princess, she can't be so arrogant and unreasonable.
Kneeling to the ground with a plop, Xue Su kowtowed to His Majesty, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, and his appearance looked really pitiful, "I also hope that Your Majesty will be aware of it, the courtiers think that they are worthy of their hearts, and they have never offended the princess, but the princess took the initiative to take the liver angry, spent silver money to buy the bandits in Yueshan, and infiltrated the private mansion to kidnap the courtiers." โ
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Hongu have a relationship with mountain bandits? โ
"That person is still locked up in the Hou Mansion, and the princess wants to confront her?" Xue Su couldn't help but ask.
Jinyue was already weak-hearted, how could she agree to this? She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Who wants to confront that female thief, and she is also worthy?" โ
A gorgeous smile slowly bloomed on her cheeks, the woman's apricot eyes were shining, and her red lips opened slightly, "Who told the princess that it was a female thief who was locked up in Tonghua Lane, not a man?" โ
There was a chuckling in her heart, and Jinyue only felt a chill spread down her spine, making her stiff and unable to move.
The people in the palace are not stupid, and now seeing her panicked expression, they can guess a few points. The emperor was extremely disappointed, he never thought that the dignified golden branches and jade leaves would attack the widow of the hero, and if he couldn't make a plan, he would be framed one after another, so vicious and terrifying.
"Jinyue, you still don't kneel!" He yelled.
The young woman shuddered and looked at her mother with a distressed gaze, but the latter looked away from her and did not make eye contact with her.
Bei Ya bit her lip tightly, Jinyue was unwilling, but she couldn't disobey her father's will, and slowly bent her knees to the ground.
"Why do you want to harm the Xue family?"
Jin Yue flatly denied it, "Erchen didn't harm her, just said the female thief, it's just a slip of the tongue, fundamentally,"
"Enough! You are the princess of the dynasty, you should be benevolent, not those cruel and vicious tricks! Seeing his daughter's true face, the emperor was indescribably sad.
