After Concubine Wang Shu left, Qingzhi walked up to her, "Niangniang, Queen Xia and Concubine Yu Guifei have concluded this time. After a pause, she hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "In addition, General Murong and Second Miss should also be back soon." ”

Xie Fanghua got up and walked out of the pavilion, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, "The turmoil has risen, but I don't want to know that Yu and Murong are involved." ”

Qingzhi followed, bowed her head and said, "Actually, there is no need for Niangniang to worry so much. General Murong and Second Miss are not as fragile as you think. ”

Xie Fanghua shook his head, slowly opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and said, "I'm not worried about their safety, I just don't want them to become the same as me because of this open and secret fight." ”

Same with me.

What am I like?

Xie Fanghua asked herself silently in her heart, but she didn't know this answer.

Qingzhi comforted her and said, "Niangniang is nothing more than for the people you care about." ”

Xie Fanghua was silent.

.

Darkness comes quickly, this is the time of nightfall.

The emperor is correcting the last notebook, and after the approval, he plans to go to Concubine Yu's palace.

When he finished grading the last book and looked up and got up, a red girl in red appeared again, he was startled and sat back again, "It's you again?" ”

The red girl replied lightly: "It's me." ”

A month ago, the woman appeared quietly and left like a ghost, she said, crown Wang Jieyu as a concubine, and Wang Shufei will conceive a child for him.

But in the past month, Wang Shufei's stomach has not moved at all.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt that he had been tricked, but the anger in his heart had nowhere to go, "I have made a concubine, but you have not fulfilled your promise." ”

The red girl snorted coldly, "The child must have been pregnant, but Concubine Wang Shu didn't feel it." ”

"How do you know?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, have you ever called the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Shu?" The red girl did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Nope."

"Isn't that it?" The red girl walked two steps, her steps were very light, even though the imperial study was quiet, but she didn't make a sound, "His Majesty the Emperor is not sure if Concubine Wang is pregnant with a child, right?" That being the case, my promise is not what you say has not been fulfilled. ”

When the emperor heard this, he choked, frowned, and pondered the words of the red girl.

The red girl said again: "If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't believe it, let's do it yourself, there is still something to do, go first." ”

By the time the emperor came to his senses, the Red Maiden was gone.

"......" The emperor rubbed his temples and got up to leave the imperial study, but when he walked to the place where the red girl was standing just now, he found a letter.

In the Fengtai Palace where Queen Xia lives, the lights are looming, there are not many guards and maidservants outside the palace, and there are only Queen Xia and her personal female official Dongchan in the palace.

Queen Xia closed her eyes, supported her head with one hand, and leaned on the collapse.

"The queen mother, it's very leisurely." There is still something that the red girl said, that is, she came to find Queen Xia.

Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar voice, Queen Xia opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that it was a woman in red wearing a mask, she was startled, and quickly got up and looked at her vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”

The female official Dong Chan subconsciously wanted to call, but the red girl took the lead and instantly moved in front of her and made a shushing gesture, "Shh, Miss Dong Chan, don't scream, I am looking for your queen mother, there is something serious." ”

After that, she ignored Dong Chan, who was full of horror, and walked a few more steps, coming to the front of Queen Xia, Ying Ying smiled and said, "I am the red girl of the night in Nanyu." Don't panic, because I'm here to help you. ”

"Help Hongu?" Empress Xia smiled disdainfully, "You are just a woman, how can you help the mother of this country?" ”

The red girl was wearing a mask, I don't know if she was happy or angry, but listening to this voice, it was quite calm, "The mother of a country? But even the queen mother, who is the mother of a country, can't she help her brother avenge herself? ”

At the mention of this, Empress Xia's face turned red, and her anger was aroused again, "Concubine Yu Guifei relied on His Majesty's favor for her, but she ignored the queen of this palace, and targeted this palace everywhere when she spoke and did things. Her younger brother killed Hongu's younger brother, and he was so smug that he was able to excuse himself. ”

The red girl snorted, "So, does the queen accept my help?" ”

Empress Xia controlled her breathing and tried her best to calm herself, she closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, there was no expression on her face, "How can this palace believe you?" ”

"I don't really want to answer this kind of question," the red girl laughed out loud, "the queen only needs to answer, whether she is willing to accept it or not." ”

Empress Xia asked, "Why do you help this palace?" ”

"For the right."

"Bengong knows," Empress Xia took a deep breath and exhaled again, "Bengong accepts your help, say, what should Bengong do?" ”

The red girl took a step forward, and when Dong Chan saw this, she hurriedly ran to Queen Xia and looked at the red girl vigilantly.

The red girl still ignored her, but stopped, "Fengminglou Oiran Pearl, the queen mother sent someone to bring her into the palace, and the matter can be solved." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that."

Empress Xia twisted her eyebrows, hesitated, and said, "This palace knows." Thank you girl for your help. ”

The red girl answered, jumped away lightly, and disappeared into the hall without a sound.

The departure of the red girl made Queen Xia's shoulders loosen, but her brows were frowned, "This person is not simple......"

Dong Chan took two steps back, leaned over and said, "Is Niang Niang really willing to believe her?" ”

Empress Xia raised her head, looked at the ceiling, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "What does it matter if you want it or not?" Married to His Majesty for more than 20 years, His Majesty has never really loved the palace, from he is the crown prince to now he is the emperor, and the one he loves the most is Concubine Yu. ”

After a pause, she said again: "It's the incompetence of this palace, and I can't even protect my own brother." In this case, it is better to gamble, if you win, it will be a blow to Concubine Yu, and if you lose, it will not be a loss for the palace......"

Dong Chan listened to it in her ears and thought about it in her heart.

The queen has indeed been bitter for so many years.

She felt very sorry for the queen and sympathized with the queen.

is obviously a virtuous woman, but she can't get a husband who loves her.

"Dongchan, you personally, go to Fengminglou and bring that pearl to the palace." Empress Xia commanded.

"Yes......"

Gray.

Shimmer.

Bright.

Xie Fanghua took a letter from the dark grid and asked Qingzhi to hand it to Xie Lenran.

In the Prime Minister's house, when Xie Eran received the letter, after opening it and reading it, he went to wait outside the Prime Minister's grandfather's study.

The old housekeeper reminded him: "The Prime Minister is still in the early court, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so don't wait, little young master." ”

Xie Eran waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, "It's okay, I'll wait." Go ahead. ”

The old butler answered and went about his business.

Xie Ran waited for a long time, and finally saw his grandfather coming slowly from a distance.

He grinned and ran over to help the old prime minister.

Prime Minister Xie Cheng is nearly sixty years old, although his hair is gray, his eyes are bright, and his body is quite healthy.

"Grandpa!" Xie Ran shouted happily.

Old Prime Minister Xie smiled helplessly, "How old a person is, and still so frizzy." ”

Xie Ran didn't care, "Ene Ran is a boy after all!" Grandpa, you just haven't seen anyone more frizzy than me. He helped Prime Minister Xie into the study.

The prime minister said, "What's the matter?" Is there something wrong with Grandpa? ”

Xie Lenran nodded, and after helping the prime minister sit down, he poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Grandpa, didn't you say that I am not too young, should I enter the court to be an official?" I thought, alas, it is true, no, obediently ask you to recommend and recommend to your grandson, what is the official position suitable for your grandson. ”

Prime Minister Xie took the tea, pointed to the position and motioned for Xie Ran to sit, "What?" In the past, I chased you and let you enter the court as an official, but you didn't want to, why are you so active now? ”

After Xie Eran sat down, he exhaled, "Isn't there no way?" My fox friends and dog friends were forced by my parents to be officials, and I am now messing around every day, always being teased by them. What's more, Brother Murong became the coach at a young age, and he defeated Beidi, who harassed me all the year round in the Nanyu frontier, in just three months, and his grandson is also a man, so he naturally wants to do something for the country and the Xie family! ”

Old Prime Minister Xie listened while smiling and nodding, "Very good, grandpa is very relieved that you can think so." ”

Hearing this, Xie Ran got up and jumped behind Prime Minister Xie and gave him a back massage, "So, grandpa, what do you think your grandson is suitable for?" ”

"I think you......" Old Prime Minister Xie paused, "It's better to stay at home and be your little master." ”

In the past, he chased Xie Enran into the court as an official, but then he thought about it carefully, he was bound by official positions all his life, why did he let his grandson repeat his mistakes? Therefore, he now does not want his grandson to be an official.

Xie Enran's smile froze, with an expression of almost crying, "Grandpa......" he said, the movements in his hands unconsciously became heavier.

The prime minister felt the pain and hurriedly got up, "You little rabbit cub!" As he spoke, he turned around and stretched out his hand to hit Xie Eran.

Xie Ene reacted and ran, "Grandpa, think about it, you are so old, if I don't become an official, who will the Xie family rely on to support me in the future?" And my cousin, she is still under house arrest in Jinhua Hall waiting for me to save her! ”

"Your cousin doesn't need your little bunny to save her!" Prime Minister Xie knew that he couldn't chase after him, so he stopped, "Take care of yourself, don't make trouble for your cousin!" ”

Seeing that the prime minister didn't mean to chase after him anymore, Xie Ene Ran leaned in again, "Grandpa, by the way, why don't you go and talk to Your Majesty and let him release your cousin?" I don't think my cousin did anything wrong......"

"Haven't done anything wrong to confront Your Majesty for a maid?" Prime Minister Xie glared at him, "Fanghua is really impulsive this time, let her be under house arrest for a few more days, it will be a long memory." Also, little rabbit cub, you remember it for me, Xie family, you don't need long-term glory! ”

.

Lianchuan.

Zhang's house.

Chen Zhiyi has been in Lianchuan for many days, and she has no interest in Murong Jin solving the case, and only occasionally practices martial arts with him and learns the art of war.

On this day, Murong Jin came to tell her that she was going to return to Beijing tomorrow.

"Tomorrow? So fast? I haven't had enough of it! Chen Zhiyi didn't follow.

Murong Jin said: "Things are almost done, I should go back, not to mention that Fu Xi is still under house arrest." However, if Zhiyi wants to play, it is not too late to play for a few days and then go back, provided that he doesn't make trouble for Uncle Zhang. ”

Chen Zhiyi snorted, "As long as you're worried about your sister, I'm not worried?" Come on, let's go tomorrow. ”
