Chapter 119: Autumn Hunt (4)
As soon as Xi Moyi finished bathing, he saw Xiao Zhuangzi hurriedly open the camp tent and walked in.
"What's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, Aunt Xue in the Queen Mother's palace is gone!" A flash of horror and a hint of confusion flashed in Xiao Zhuangzi's eyes - who would have thought that the most respected palace maid among the palace maids would die quietly like this?
Xi Moyi's hand to tidy up his clothes paused, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
"There was news from the queen mother's tent, saying that the concubine of General Qin before, Dui Yu, gave Aunt Xue a bag of trinkets, which contained deadly poison, and Aunt Xue unfortunately got it, so she ......"
Xiao Zhuangzi raised his head and glanced at Xi Moyi carefully, and saw that he didn't react, so he continued: "They said that Duyu had a grudge against the Queen Mother, and originally wanted to harm the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect to be replaced by Aunt Xue by mistake. The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this, and ordered someone to arrest Twilight Rain, who knew that Twilight Rain had committed suicide in fear of sin! Now General Qin is still kneeling outside the Queen Mother's tent! ”
Xi Moyi's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said after a while: "Little Zhuangzi, follow me to see the Queen Mother!" ”
Outside the tent, Qin Zhenyu knelt upright and did not move, seeing Xi Moyi coming over, he hurriedly turned an angle to salute him, and at the same time looked at Xi Moyi with the same arrogant expression as usual and said, "Cousin, you must ask the Queen Mother for intercession for me!" ”
Xi Moyi paused, gave him a little bit of afterglow, glanced at him and said coldly: "I don't forgive you, it's the queen mother's choice, I have no right to interfere!" ”
The adjutant general who accompanied Qin Zhenyu to kneel beside him was angry when he heard this, and just remembered to say a few words, but was held down by Qin Zhenyu on the shoulder.
The lieutenant general saw his eyes and lowered his head angrily.
When Xi Moyi entered, he finally couldn't hold back his anger and asked: "The general has 100,000 mercenaries, why should he be angry with a faint monarch under the skirt of a willing woman?" ”
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of Qin Zhenyu's mouth: "Angry? Hum! No, General Ben just wants him to be cocooned! ”
"General, what does that mean?" The lieutenant looked puzzled.
Qin Zhenyu didn't speak again, his cold eyes kept staring at the camp tent that was blown up and down by the autumn wind.
The camp tent was very neat, obviously cleaned up after the crime, and Man Tingfang leaned against the table with her head on her tired face to rest.
Li Ji saw Xi Moyi coming in, and hurriedly woke up Man Tingfang softly, I don't know if he himself noticed that his voice was more cautious than ever before-not long ago, a scene that happened in the camp tent happened to be inadvertently bumped into by him - the personal servant who had accompanied him for more than 30 years said that he would kill him, let alone him, an abandoned son who was thrown away by the emperor?
Man Tingfang opened her eyes and didn't find anything unusual about Li Ji, in fact, her spirit was very chaotic, and she didn't have the apparent calmness at all, as long as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of Du Xueping's peaceful expression when she died-she was forcing her to kill her!
"Are you okay, Queen Mother?" Xi Mo commented that she was in a daze, and asked lightly.
Man Tingfang came back to his senses, barely squeezed out a pale smile, looked at him and asked, "Didn't you say it's okay, let the emperor not come?" ”
Xi Moyi ignored her words, but turned his head to Xiao Zhuangzi and ordered, "Go and ask for a doctor!" ”
Man Tingfang trembled uncontrollably when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Zhuangzi and said, "No need, the mourning family is fine!" The emperor came to talk to the mourners! ”
The highest medical skill of the Taiyi accompanying this time turned out to be Zheng Yi, the youngest Taiyi in the Tai Hospital, but he was Qin Zhenyu's person! Man Tingfang doesn't want to see anything related to Qin Zhenyu now! She didn't expect that her nephew, who she had never taken seriously, now had the power to force her into such a situation!
I don't know if it's really because of this thrilling "assassination" incident, Xi Moyi rarely put away his indifference to Man Tingfang since Hu Xizi came to Xi Guo, and really said warm words like an ordinary mother and son.
I don't know how long I knelt for a long time, until the sky gradually turned white, Xiao Zhuangzi walked out of the camp, looked at Qin Zhenyu and said: "The Queen Mother is gracious, and the general is exempted from the crime of lax discipline, and the general can go back now!" ”
Qin Zhenyu got up slowly, dragged his half-numbed legs and his lieutenant to help each other back to the camp.
"Bang ——!"
The lieutenant went back and grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it on the ground, smashing it to pieces.
Qin Zhenyu saw it, and he didn't stop it, and sat down on the chair leisurely and drank half a cup of herbal tea.
"General, when has this been, why do you still have the heart to drink tea?" The adjutant said anxiously.
"When?" Qin Zhenyu asked rhetorically.
The adjutant general said even more anxiously: "The revelation of the twilight rain implicated the general, which shows that the queen mother is unwilling to cooperate with the general, and now Du Xueping is also dead, and there is no one to deal with us for us, if the queen mother tells the emperor our purpose, then won't we all be finished?" ”
"Even if you tell it, what? General Ben covets his Xi family, this is a well-known thing, even if the queen mother doesn't say it, doesn't the emperor know at all? Qin Zhenyu smiled conceitedly.
Adjutant General Hanner said: "What can the general do?" ”
"One word, wait!"
"Wait?"
Qin Zhenyu had a confident cold light in his eyes.
"General Ben is sure that woman won't say anything!"
The adjutant general asked strangely: "How can the general be sure, that is his son!" ”
Qin Zhenyu smiled sarcastically: "These thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, splendid landscapes, who knows how much blood and white bones are nourished and rendered, it is rare that the general's aunt also has this ambition, son, what is it, anyway, it has already been harmed once!" ”
"The general is ......" The adjutant general's eyes widened, and he suddenly lowered his voice and continued, "What does the general mean, the queen mother also wants the throne?" ”
Qin Zhenyu was noncommittal.
That position means supreme power, and who doesn't want that?
If that woman really loved her son, when Xi Moyi was five years old, she would not have left the road to trap Concubine Shu and deceive Xi Moyi!
That's right, he had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, when he secretly followed them for fun, and there were obviously three paths to choose at that time, even if she chose the safer path in the middle, she could also save Concubine Shu from a catastrophe, but that woman chose the most dangerous path - she was clearly trying to ensure the success of the plan, and she was bent on putting Xi Mo to death!
His beloved aunt probably never thought in this life that everything she had done at the beginning would be seen by him and become the enlightenment of his inflated ambition!
It wasn't until the sky was completely bright that Man Tingfang realized that the two had been chatting for a night!
She looked at the first rays of the morning sun outside and said slightly: "The emperor will go back to the tent after breakfast!" ”
Xi Moyi got up and said, "No! Did the queen forget that the sons and ministers still have to hunt today, and the sons should go back and sort out the hunting tools! ”
As the words fell, he looked at her face with a calm gaze.
Man Tingfang's eyes flashed, and he got up and said with a smile: "Yes, the mourning family actually forgot, the emperor should go!" ”
An invisible sense of loss flashed in Xi Moyi's eyes - if she opened her mouth to stop him, even if it was a word, he would forgive her! But she didn't!
"Son's resignation!" When the words fell, Xi Mo turned around resolutely and walked out of the camp without a trace of hesitation.
