Chapter 553: The Suburbs of Beijing
Yunjing fell into chaos overnight, the courtiers resigned, the emperor was critically ill, the queen mother was also unconscious, the prime minister was arrested, the goddess was killed, the prince refused to inherit the throne, and now everyone is spreading that the Great Zhou is coming to an end.
In the palace of heart cultivation, Concubine Xiao Shu looked at Sima Xuan, who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, and said in a deep voice, "Your grandfather has been captured by those traitors now, and you still have the heart to drink tea here!" Can you not let the mother concubine feel so cold! ”
Sima Xuan heard Concubine Xiao Shu's question, and said with a slight smile, "Isn't it that the throne will be inherited by the eldest brother now, Mother Concubine?" I really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, you would care about your grandfather..."
Concubine Xiao Shufei heard the sarcasm in Sima Xuan's words, she frowned, and said in a deep voice, "He doesn't have that ability yet, so don't be afraid!" "Now the whole palace is big with her, and she will see who dares to support that useless person as emperor!
Sima Xuan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Then I also advise my mother, now you'd better not think about saving your grandfather, otherwise I'm afraid even you will be implicated." ”
When Concubine Xiao Shufei heard Sima Xuan's words, her face changed, she stood up abruptly and looked at Sima Xuan, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" What did you do again! ”
"How could the mother say that?" Sima Xuan chuckled, put down the teacup and stood up to look at Concubine Xiao Shu, "Grandfather, what can I do?" Those are all things that my grandfather caused by himself, besides, what can my son do with my grandfather, I pray that my grandfather is safe and sound. ”
"In that case, you're..."
"Find a way to save your grandfather, forget about this kind of thing......." Sima Xuan glanced at the emperor lying on the dragon bed after speaking, and shook his head, "Mother, it's better to guard your father well, and pray that your father will wake up one day, so that you can still sit firmly on the throne of the high imperial concubine." ”
"Xuan'er!" Concubine Xiao Shu grabbed Sima Xuan, who was leaving, and pleaded with a pleading face, "Mother Concubine has been enduring humiliation in order to let you ascend the throne, didn't you also want to be the emperor before?" Now that we're about to succeed, you can't just give up at this time! ”
Sima Xuan pulled away Concubine Xiao Shufei's hand, pursed her lips and said, "Mother, we will never succeed, this day is about to change." After speaking, he left the Heart Cultivation Hall without looking back.
……
In an inn on the outskirts of Beijing, a man dressed in a moon-white robe and a big coat sat down next to an empty table, followed by a young woman, the woman was wearing a pale green long skirt, a white jacket outside, and a man dressed as a guard followed behind the two, the man looked at the woman standing behind him, smiled faintly, pointed to the bench on the side and said, "Sit down." ”
The woman showed a shy smile on her face, shook her head, and said, "I'll just stand here and serve the child." ”
The man pulled the woman to sit down on the chair, and said with an indifferent and detached smile on his face, "I have already said, you are not my maid, and you should not claim to be a maid, I don't need to be served." ”
"Then why did you keep me with you?" The woman's face showed puzzlement, looked at the capital that was close at hand, and pursed her lips, "Since Childe has something, why don't we separate here, you saved my life, and I have been serving by Childe's side for so long, which can be regarded as offset, okay?" ”
The man looked at the stubborn girl sitting there, smiled slightly, and chuckled, "Doesn't the girl want to go into the capital to have a look?" ”
The woman shook her head, she glanced in the direction of the capital, a look flashed in her eyes, and she pursed her lips and said, "Although Yunjing is big, it is not as attractive to me as the world and the rivers and lakes, so I don't want to go to Yunjing to see." ”
The man smiled and nodded, and ordered a few dishes, "However, people always want to go home." ”
Hearing the word homecoming, the woman's face changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Yunjing is not my home. ”
"Eh, I don't know where I can go when I leave Yunjing this time!" At this time, there was a lament from the next table, "You said that the county lord of Changning will not die, and something will happen to the palace, I heard that the owner of Tianquan Villa rushed into the palace to kill the emperor and the queen mother... Then the county lord of Changning appeared and killed the owner of Tianquan Villa, but I heard that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was still arrested, this Yunjing, now I really can't wait! ”
"Where is Yunjing can't stay, I don't think Da Zhou can stay! I see that other countries that are eyeing the Great Zhou are already ready to go, and our Great Zhou is now like a withered tree, crumbling, just waiting to be scraped by others! ”
The two of them were discussing vigorously when suddenly a woman rushed over and grabbed one of them by the collar and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?" What does it mean that the county lord of Changning is dead! How could the county lord of Changning die! ”
The man's brows were already tightly furrowed, but when he saw such a beautiful woman, his face became beautiful in an instant, he smiled, and reached out to pull away the woman's hand, but the woman suddenly let go of her hand, he retracted his hand and said with a smile, "Isn't the girl from Yunjing?" A few days ago, there was a fire in the Jin Palace, and all the family of the county lord of Changning died, and I heard that the corpses were burned out, only the face was slightly better, which can be recognized..."
When the woman heard this, she took a step back suddenly, her face turned pale for a moment, and the man who was sitting there eating the food glanced at the guard behind her, and the guard quickly retreated.
Seeing that the woman's face was pale, the man quickly stood up and asked with a sincere smile, "Girl, are you okay?" Do you want me to take you to take a break? ”
As he said that, he was about to make a move on the woman, but the man who was originally sitting there suddenly stood up and helped the woman, glanced at the man lightly, and said in a deep voice, "I have me to take care of Neiko, thank you for the enthusiasm of this big brother." Although he said words of thanks, the tone was more penetrating than the cold and snow of this winter.
The man shook his head wryly, "You're welcome, you're welcome, brother, it's a blessing, there is such a beautiful lady, the two of them are really talented and beautiful." ”
The man nodded faintly, bowed his head and said to the weak woman, "If you don't feel well, let's book a room and take a rest." ”
The woman raised her eyes to look at the man, but her eyes were already full of tears, she shook her head and said, "Let's go to Beijing." ”
"There's no hurry." The man helped the woman sit down on the stool, poured a cup of hot tea for the woman, and said with a pale face, "I have already asked Lin Quan to inquire about the news, we will wait for Lin Feng to catch up and make a decision." ”
