Chapter 175: Seeking the Heart
When I came back, Tuoba Hong did not send me back to Zhaoyang Palace, but after leaving the Extreme Palace, we each turned our backs. That scene is shabby.
Is it time for me to leave, to leave this palace?
But before I leave, I still have to do something, even if the odds are subtle.
After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, I sat quietly on the pit and pondered quietly. After a long time, I finally came back to my senses and saw Yi'er.
I said a word to Yi'er, "Send a letter to Xiao Jingqi." ”
A few days later, fighting broke out in the north, and the Rouran Khanate invaded the border. The imperial court urgently discussed the battle matters, and Tuoba Hong talked about the strategy of fighting against Rouran.
The Empress Dowager wanted to appoint King Xianyang as the governor of the army this time, and the emperor wanted to let the King of Beihai go, and after several discussions among the courtiers, they felt that the King of Beihai was more suitable.
Above the court, the king of Beihai served as the governor of this expedition, and the handsome army set off to the north to fight against Rouran.
The King of the North Sea set off on the same day.
On that day, the emperor personally sent the king of Beihai out of the city, and I stood on the city wall and watched the army from afar.
I don't want the North Sea King to come back soon.
Tuoba Hong didn't have time to come to the harem, so he stayed in the Taiji Palace, waiting for the news of the invasion of the Rouran army, waiting for the King of Beihai to return with a great victory.
The king of Xianyang was not convinced in his palace and wanted to use this expedition to improve his prestige in the imperial court, but the emperor finally let the king of Beihai go.
On this day, the king of Xianyang received a letter from the person who asked him to meet at the temple outside the city.
Looking at the handwriting of the letter, King Xianyang was very stunned, because of this person's notes, he knew it very well.
The king of Xianyang came to the remote temple on the outskirts as promised, and the man sat at the table, wearing a cloak.
When the King of Xianyang approached, the man waved his hand at him and invited him to sit down.
Listening to the voice, it was a woman, and the king of Xianyang also knew who the woman under the cloak and hat should be.
"Are you okay?" King Xianyang asked.
It seems that King Xianyang knows the woman in front of him, even if the woman is covered with a face scarf, he knows who it is.
The woman tore off the face scarf, revealing her true face, and the King of Xianyang looked at her in a daze, sure enough, it was her.
"Where have you been?" King Xianyang asked with some excitement.
The woman smiled indifferently, "On the day you got married, I left and left Pingcheng." ”
"And you're coming back to see me?" King Xianyang was very happy, "Did you miss me?" ”
The woman smiled indifferently, "I'm here to help you." ”
"Help me?" King Xianyang was surprised.
"Yes, to help you achieve your dreams, have you forgotten?" The woman smiled and said.
"What can you do to help the king?" King Xianyang smiled incredulously.
The woman smiled faintly, "My lord can help you." ”
King Xianyang was surprised again and stared at the woman, "Yin Mi, you are just a flower slave, what master do you have?" ”
The woman took out a token from her body and placed it in front of King Xianyang.
When King Xianyang saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, "You turned out to be ......"
The woman smiled flatly, "Yes, do you think I can help you this time?" ”
"What's the help?" King Xianyang asked incredulously.
"Let the emperor drive the expedition in person, so that the capital will have no owner." The woman said coldly.
King Xianyang looked at the woman in silence and pondered for a long time.
The king of Xianyang and others waited in the palace to see if such a thing would really happen, and sure enough, news came from the north that the king of Beihai was injured and the army was left without a commander for a while.
The court soon discussed it again, and the emperor decided to take the imperial expedition in person.
I was not surprised that the emperor was going to take the imperial expedition himself, and I went to see him before he set off.
This time he saw me, and we met again after we parted in the Extreme Temple that day.
When I saw him, I went with sincerity and wished him great success in the expedition.
He didn't say a word, but approached me and quietly took me in his arms.
After a long time, he said, "No matter who my concubine is, you are still my concubine and the woman I love the most." ”
My heart trembled suddenly, and I was touched by his words. I feel a little ashamed in my heart that I shouldn't have ......
"I will come back safe and sound, the concubine is waiting for ......me in the palace," he said with great affection.
It's just that he didn't call me "Rong'er" or "Yihua", maybe he didn't know what to call me.
I silently hugged him tightly, and whispered softly in his ear, "The emperor must come back safe and sound, and the concubine is waiting for you in the palace." ”
He let go of me and smiled, "Okay, I promised you, I will do it." ”
I looked at him with a smile.
I personally sent him out of the palace, and watched him wear a military uniform, fighting fiercely, and that strength made the morale very high.
I still admire him.
I don't want him to die, I just want him to leave the palace for a while.
After returning to the palace from the city gate, I came to the Tai Hospital.
Yi'er didn't know what I was looking for, and the Imperial Doctor didn't know what I was looking for. I just asked the Imperial Doctor for a few medicines, medicines to nourish the body and nourish qi and blood.
I said, "The palace wants to make soup for the Empress Dowager herself." ”
Doctor Jia didn't ask any more and took the medicine to me.
After returning to the palace, I let the bamboo inkstone boil it, and asked Yi'er bamboo inkstone to accompany me to the Taihua Palace to see the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager still treats me coldly.
I didn't get angry, and explained my purpose with a respectful and lovely expression.
I just did my filial piety and took care of the emperor after she went on an expedition.
The Empress Dowager asked the slave maid to catch my medicinal soup and then asked me to step down. I knew she was annoyed when she saw me, so I didn't want to stay longer.
For a few days in a row, I personally delivered the decoction, and she didn't want to say a word more for the first two days, but in the next few days, her attitude improved slightly.
A few more words.
"The emperor has set out on an expedition, and you can take care of yourself."
"The mourning family doesn't want the emperor to come back, what happens to you, the emperor blames the mourning family."
Since she believed in my sincerity, she let her guard down on me, and that's good.
When I went back to Zhaoyang Palace, I had a strange smile on my face, laughing at her for being old when she was the empress dowager.
The heart softened.
Late night silence. Cai Yue came to the rockery that the palace was away from again, and there was a person standing there, waiting for her.
Cai Yue saluted her.
The man turned around, Cai Yue was not surprised, this was the person she had come to see tonight.
"Do you want to save your life?" The man spoke, of course, in a woman's voice.
Caiyue knew what she was referring to.
Feng Zhaoyi's face was red and swollen by her, only the person in front of her knew it, and it was also her instructions.
Cai Yue was silent, knowing that the person in front of her had another task for her. If you don't finish it, you may not be able to survive.
Cai Yue lowered her head after meditating, "But please ask the mother to command." ”
The person in front of Caiyue smiled, "Okay, if you do a good job, I will let you out of the palace after this time." ”
Cai Yue hurriedly responded, "Niangniang, please speak." ”
"Textile Division, you have to take care of the Empress Dowager's clothes." The person in front of Cai Yue said coldly.
Cai Yue was stunned in confusion.
The man reached out and handed her a bottle of something.
Cai Yue reached out and picked it up and looked at the person in front of her.
"Know what to do?"
Cai Yue hurriedly replied, "The slave knows. ”
Cai Yue quietly returned to the room, put the bottle in her arms, and meditated all night about what to do.
From the next day, Cai Yue took her free time to hang out outside the Textile Division, or occasionally ran into the slaves and maids in the Textile Division, chatting casually. Q: Which palace is this palace costume from, and to whom?
Gong E in the textile department didn't care, so she said it.
For a few days, Cai Yue didn't inquire about it, and gave the palace clothes to the Empress Dowager. It wasn't until the palace maid of the Textile Division came out again to deliver the palace clothes that Caiyue asked casually when she pretended to meet them this time, and she heard that she said that it was for the Queen Mother.
Caiyue felt that the opportunity had come.
There happened to be a rain on this day, and the road was slippery, Caiyue pretended to accidentally slip her feet, and her body fell to the palace maid, and the tray in the palace maid's hand almost fell.
The palace maid panicked, and Cai Yue hurriedly caught the tray in the palace maid's hand, but the palace maid did not stand firm on her feet and fell to the ground.
The clothes on the palace maid's body were stained with dirty water.
Cai Yue was surprised and said, "You better go back and change your clothes and then go to the Empress Dowager, otherwise the Empress Dowager will see you with a dirty ......."
The palace maid hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Cai Yue smiled, "Then I'll give you this first." ”
The palace maid hurriedly thanked Caiyue and asked Caiyue to hold the palace clothes of the Empress Dowager in her hand.
Cai Yue smiled with satisfaction.
Cai Yue took advantage of the palace maid to go back to change clothes, took out the bottle from her body, opened it and poured the white powder in the bottle onto the clothes, then picked it up and shook it, and folded it again.
After the palace maid of the textile division returned, Cai Yue returned the palace robe of the Empress Dowager to her as if nothing happened.
Everything went according to plan.
I was a little uneasy in Zhaoyang Palace, and I was uneasy that the emperor had been personally recruiting for more than half a month, and I hadn't heard any news yet.
On this day, the eunuch came to report that the Empress Dowager was sick.
I secretly smiled coldly, and finally she was sick again.
The Tai Hospital was gathered in the Taihua Hall of the Empress Dowager again, and I heard that this time the illness was wonderful, and the Tai Hospital couldn't figure out what the symptoms were.
I also heard that the King of Xianyang saw the Empress Dowager and was scolded by the Empress Dowager, and then after the Empress Dowager fainted, she fell ill and never woke up.
After King Xianyang was scolded, he was quiet, and after the Empress Dowager fell ill, he ran to the Empress Dowager and cried.
said that he shouldn't be angry with his ancestors.
On that day, when the King of Xianyang saw the Empress Dowager, he dismissed everyone, and no one knew what he was talking about with the Empress Dowager, but everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was angry with him.
But I know what the King of Xianyang and the Empress Dowager talked about.
Why did the Empress Dowager scold him.
It's all because of the heart of King Xianyang, he wants to be the emperor, he wants to replace Tuoba Hong. He wanted to claim that Tuoba Hong had the opportunity to take the palace this time when he was away. But the Empress Dowager relented, and she didn't agree.
On that day, the Empress Dowager should have scolded King Xianyang, and King Xianyang bumped into the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager fell ill in a fit of anger.
That's all there is to it. In the eyes of outsiders, it is just that the King of Xianyang gave the Empress Dowager a sick illness.
I came to the Taihua Hall leisurely and watched the imperial doctor busy, but the empress dowager did not have a look.
What a good result, no one can stop the disease, including that she is the most powerful person in the Great Wei court.
I really want her to wake up and tell her that I'm Oto.
Yi Hun who assassinated her in Li Yi's cemetery back then, the daughter of the minister Yi Hun.
See what kind of expression she will have, whether she will be scared to death, or if she will be stupid to death.
Busy, busy, the doctors are busy. Even if the Empress Dowager wakes up, she may not be able to live well.
That medicinal powder was refined by my Uncle Cui, so it's good that it can be useful.
