130 Each for his own master
Around the north gate of the wall of the royal palace is a grove of trees; Half a mile from the grove there was a moat around the wall. This moat is the world-famous "Imperial Tomb", and there is a large passage directly in front of the gate of the palace backyard. A field of white wild chrysanthemums is transplanted on both sides of the passage, which seems to remind people that this is a sacred place!
The so-called "imperial mausoleum", presumably there is no need for the author to explain it again. All the officials must know: it is the cemetery of all royal families!
As far as the eye can see, this royal cemetery is full of trees and flowers that grow on their own. The dazzling canopy of the tree is like a lush green ribbon. Set off the colorful flowers around it, stretching and surrounding this royal cemetery. It's truly a natural beauty!
The night was deep, and the day was still cloudless and clear. At this moment, the moonlight suddenly disappeared. Such a unique night for the palace that fell asleep. Add an endless amount of shocking mysteries!
At this moment, in the palace, every small courtyard is quietly dark. The whole palace presents a scene of "silence"!
At this moment, four black figures in night clothes suddenly flashed under the corner of the backyard gate. One of them hurriedly took out the key and carefully opened the large iron door, while the other three turned their heads to look around as if they had made an appointment. After finding that there were no suspicious signs, he turned to his back and waved his big hand to lower his voice and said: Now is the time to act. All of you go in and work!
Hearing this, eight black shadows who were also wearing night clothes suddenly stood up. One by one, they quietly approached the door of the backyard with shovels, tiptoed into the door, and then bent down and crawled forward!
The twelve men in black cooperated with the tacit action, which can be said to be "seamless". But I don't know that it's at this juncture. In the thatched hut four meters southwest of the south gate of the backyard, a graceful and luxurious woman wearing a mink cloak suddenly appeared!
If this woman is just a country woman. For the scene happening in front of you, you will definitely not feel anything unusual!
However, tonight, I accidentally saw eight women in black carrying shovels in the backyard. But it's the Lin nobles of the "Jade Palace"!
As we all know, all dynasties and dynasties have been talented people, nobles, concubines, and queens. It's all their masters, the emperors themselves!
And the hearts of these women can only revolve around the emperor and a man for many years. If you are a woman, how many of you don't want to enjoy the pampering and care of a man alone?
Therefore, this point is selfish. It is the common possession of the three thousand beauties in the palace, a wild and old world, and the idea that the sea is dry and rotten!
It is this eternal selfish thought that drives them to live in the palace. They are intriguing with each other and playing conspiracies one after another, making a lot of noise and changing colors!
Right now, Lin Guiren of the "Jade" Palace watched eight black-clothed men carrying shovels enter the backyard gate one after another. She couldn't help but pat her head and say, "Hey, yesterday and today." We haven't heard of anyone dead in the palace at all! Strange, it's already midnight. What are the eight men in black doing when they enter the "Imperial Tomb" with shovels?
When she thought of this, she saw again: the four men in black who arrived first were standing by the four doors in the backyard. My eyes are wide open at the intersection that leads there!
Seeing this, even ordinary rural village women. With intuition, I must have thought that there was something strange in this!
What's more, this Lin nobleman has always been very shrewd. Otherwise, it would have only been two years since he entered the palace. How could she go from a talented person's personal maid to climb over her master to the shoulders of Emperor Yongxi. What about the hostess who was named the "Jade Palace"?
The scene in front of her made her feel more incredible the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she thought of the expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials who came out of the Qinzheng Hall during the day. They all look dazed! But when they reached the gate of the palace, they immediately burst into cheers. At that time, she was quite surprised!
staring at the twelve black-clothed people who cooperated tacitly on the side of the "Imperial Tomb", he suddenly thought of this situation. Lin Guiren is even more sure of his point of view: At this point, these twelve black-clothed people came to the "Imperial Tomb". Certainly not inside the palace, where someone died last night. Moreover, the identity of this deceased. It must be a descendant of the royal family!
However, even if she has always been shrewd. At this moment, the head melon is also suddenly lacking strings and not enough! After thinking about it for a long time, she just couldn't think of it: among the heirs of the royal family, who died last night?
Lin Guiren, who couldn't think of an answer, immediately decided to wake up the sisters in the palace in turn. She was lucky enough to think that some of them must have heard about it. What happened last night!
As the thought flashed through her mind, she quietly turned and crept to her sisters' quarters. From time to time, I also looked back: the twelve black-clothed people here in the "Imperial Tomb", has anyone noticed her?
Hey, there are really no wonders in the world. With the passage of time, the world is also ever-changing. It is simply possible to make us human beings as happy as we hope in our hearts!
After about half a burnt of incense, Lin Guiren woke up all the women of Emperor Yongxi. Each of them tossed and woke up their personal palace maids and came to her room together!
All the women of Emperor Yongxi, of course, include the current Empress Hua. Under the support of the personal palace maid Xiaoyu, he walked into the threshold of the "Jade Palace", looking at the talents, nobles and concubines sitting in the main house all over the courtyard. The women in the world couldn't help muttering: My God, this woman actually brought all the women in the emperor. We can't believe it, and we can't underestimate her impatience in the future!
Seeing this, the author firmly believes that it doesn't matter if the reader's friend is a man or a woman. I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart: Wow, under the constant inspection of the Imperial Forest Army or the Jinyi Guard. In the middle of the night, this Lin nobleman was able to toss all the three thousand beauties of the harem into her room. Her perseverance is terrifying!
Right now, I am thinking about the ability of Lin Guiren, the hostess of the "Jade Palace". In front of Empress Hua Yuling's eyes, a scene that happened in the morning suddenly appeared: with the shout of Emperor Yongxi, "After the abolition" Wang Shuyun approached the "crane top red" on the side of his mouth. was hit by an arrow flying from outside the Qinzheng Hall and fell to the ground, and quickly opened into blood-colored flowers with a bad smell!
At that time, she couldn't have imagined that the man sitting next to her would have her and a total of 3,000 beauties in the harem. Now facing his ex-wife, who is already yellow and thin, and looks haggard, he still cares so much about this "abolished queen"!
Sitting in the Jinluan Palace, she couldn't believe the scene in front of her, and thought she was having a "unwarranted" nightmare. Immediately, he quietly lifted the hem of his robe and pinched his thigh twice, and soon there was a sharp pain. drove her brain to wake up: the scene in front of her was real!
There is no doubt that she can't accept the existence of this scene at all. She grabbed the "startling wood" and slapped the table in front of her, glared at Emperor Yongxi, who looked back at her, and said angrily: Your Majesty, our two brothers are still guarding the border for you. What did you just want to prove to the ministers of civil and military affairs?
As soon as the words landed, she stood up angrily and walked down the Jinluan Hall with her sleeves brushed up. Hide your face and cry bitterly and run to the gate of the Qinzheng Palace!
At this time, a figure knelt in front of her with a "poof" and pointed outside and said: Empress Hua, I, Wang Shuyun, swore to heaven today in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. In this life, she will never expect to be the "queen of this dynasty", and will only stay in the "Summer Palace" to accompany her son Chongzhen to live. Please don't be angry with the emperor again!
Hearing this, she couldn't help but think to herself: This woman swore an oath in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and as the current queen, she really shouldn't say anything to blame. You can't be stubborn anymore and leave the palace of diligence!
After thinking about it, she finally took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears off her face. "Unprecedentedly" stretched out his hand to help the woman kneeling in front of him, then turned around and walked up to the Jinluan Hall and sat beside Emperor Yongxi again-----
Seeing that Empress Hua was deep in thought, the maid Xiaoyu hurriedly and quietly reached out and pulled her sleeve. At the same time, a mouth is not idle: the queen mother, the journey from "Changle Palace" to this "Jade Palace" is not light. You must be tired of walking, so help you to sit down in the house!
Only then did the listener realize that he had lost his temper just now, and he was so shocked that he walked quickly into the main room. paced to the only "carved chair" in the center where no one was sitting, and when he dropped his buttocks, he couldn't wait to say: Lin Guiren, he is still sleepy in the future. Hurry up and make it clear what happened. Do you have to wake us all up now?
The head of the harem opened his mouth to ask, and Lin Guiren hurriedly left his seat and knelt down in front of her and bowed three times. Only then did he cautiously say: Queen Hua, the slave went to the thatched house in a hurry just now. Unexpectedly, when I came out, I saw that it was first four men in black who came out of the dark shadow by the backyard door; The eight black-clothed men who came out of the dark shadow immediately behind them all crossed the threshold of the backyard with shovels and bent down and crawled forward!
Speaking of this, she pretended to be nervous and said: Queen Hua, if it weren't for the death of some important person in the palace. It's midnight at this time, how could the eight men in black carry shovels into the "Imperial Tomb"?
When Empress Hua heard this, she couldn't help but look around at the sisters around her and frowned and said: "Sisters, in the middle of the night, there were eight black-clothed people carrying shovels into the backyard and squatting down and crawling forward. I also think there's something strange about this! Do any of you hear anything during the day?
Hearing this, Concubine Xu of the "Yiqing Palace" patted her head and shouted: Queen Hua, let's listen to my brother who is discussing in the Qinzheng Palace today. The emperor issued a decree and told the civil and military officials not to leak a piece of news! As for the content of the message, he said that he would not tell me anything. It's incredible!
These words were thrown into the hearts of all women like a huge "earth-shattering thunder". Immediately, there was a lot of sighing inside and outside the house: Oh, even my own sister-in-law can't know the news. It's not a good thing! Hey, it can alarm the emperor to issue a holy decree "news that must be kept secret". What the hell is going on?
At this moment, Empress Hua Yuling suddenly flashed in her mind: This morning, only the eldest son Chongxi went to the "Changle Palace" to greet her. Moreover, not much was said. I hurriedly said goodbye in a panic!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble. Nervously whispered: Oh, isn't it-----
Speaking of which, Empress Hua Yuling didn't dare to say it in front of so many younger sisters. At the same time, she was very reluctant to believe her own speculation!
Immediately, she leaned on the "carved chair" to support her body so that her body no longer trembled. The words that came out also changed their taste: Sisters, how to deal with the major affairs of the court? Since ancient times, it has been the obligation and responsibility that the emperor must be in charge of! The guidelines and regulations of all dynasties also do not allow our female generation to intervene in the government. According to Ben Hou's suggestion, the big guys still dispersed early tonight and went back to their respective palaces to make up for sleep. Don't end up with a "can't eat and walk around" in the end!
As soon as the words landed, Empress Hua Yuling stood up by herself.
Xiaoyu, the personal maid, knows that her master must have something in her heart now. Hurriedly took a step forward and helped the master out of the "Jade Palace"!
The talented people and nobles who were standing outside the house saw the capital of the harem leave. They also hurriedly turned to Lin Guiren and bent down to give a deep salute and said: Lin Guiren, we think that Queen Hua is very right. That's it!
As they spoke, they turned around and walked out of the "Jade Palace" one after another. Evading the patrol team of the Imperial Forest Army or the Jinyi Guard, he tiptoed back to his palace!
However, those noble concubines who were sitting in the main room. It's not the same in my heart!
As if they had made an appointment, they turned to Lin Guiren together and said, "Just now, we saw Queen Hua's body trembling. From this point of view, the emperor issued a decree requiring all civil and military officials not to leak the news. It must have something to do with her!
Hearing this, Lin Guiren nodded his head like a "chicken pecking rice". She hurriedly picked up the conversation: I also noticed the suspiciousness of Empress Hua. In my opinion, I want to know the exact answer. We can only go to the "Imperial Tomb" to eavesdrop on the conversation of those men in black!
As soon as her words landed, Ma Guifei of "Kuiyang Palace" said with a frightened face: Lin Guiren, let's rush to the "Imperial Mausoleum" at this point. If you don't pay attention, let the patrol team of the Royal Forest Army or the Jinyi Guard bump into it. But it's really "can't eat and walk around"!
Hearing this, Xu Guifei of the "Yiqing Palace" couldn't help blurting out: Lin Guiren, the twelve black-clothed people must have received the holy decree to go to the "Imperial Mausoleum". In the middle of the night, the army outside couldn't count on it at all. If we're not mistaken. The man in black must be the Imperial Forest Army or the Jinyi Guard in the palace!
This remark shocked Ruan Guifei of "Xiangyang Palace" and Zhuang Guifei of "Jade Palace". also said dejectedly: If Concubine Xu guessed correctly, then even if we escaped the inspection of the Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guard. It is absolutely impossible to approach the "Imperial Tomb"! What news do you overhear?
Lin Guiren smiled and said: Oh, why do we have to act in person? Extremely dangerous things like this, even if you tell your personal maid to do it. Even if I'm in trouble, I want to do it for my master. They should know how to do it, too!
When several noble concubines heard this, they turned to her as if they had made an appointment and gave her a thumbs up and praised: Lin Guiren, I didn't expect your brain to be so smart. For us at this moment, it's not just a "trick". It's even more "charcoal in the snow"!
Hearing the hearts of several concubines, I finally stopped beating wildly. Lin Guiren turned to the personal maid beside them and said: You have heard clearly, so that your master can get an accurate answer. You can only venture to the "Imperial Tomb" to find out!
Any woman who is a personal maid must understand the words of her master. It's as irresistible as the emperor's "golden mouth"!
Right now, several personal maids came together. He bowed to his master and said, "Master, the slaves and maids just obey." You can go back to the palace first and make up for a while!
As soon as the words slipped out, they looked at each other, put their hands together, and strode out of the "Jade Palace". Hurry cautiously to the "Imperial Tomb" in the backyard of the palace!
finally came to the "Imperial Tomb", and the eight brocade guards all bent over and dug desperately. Suddenly, a Forester standing by the west gate noticed several girls approaching. hurriedly shouted: Hey, this is the cemetery of the royal family. It's late at night, and you girls can't sleep well. What are you doing here?
Hearing this, several of the girls who had come here immediately stopped where they were. He bent down to the man in black in front of him and bowed deeply and said: "This brother, we are also entrusted here to pick some colorful flowers. I hope you will fulfill us with great mercy!
When the sweaty and panting eight brocade guards heard this, they gently dropped the shovels in their hands one after another and squatted down. Looking at the girls who came here to "visit" through the cracks in the bushes, the atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound!
The four royal forest soldiers followed the prestige, and a thought suddenly flashed in their minds: these girls came here to "pick flowers" at this point, and they must have been entrusted by the emperor's masters of the three palaces and six courtyards. Come here to listen to the reality of "the second prince suddenly disappeared"!
So they replied without question: You have heard clearly, there are flowers in the Imperial Garden. If you want to pick flowers, you can go there tomorrow, and here are the ancestors of the royal family buried. How can you women disturb the tranquility at will?
Hearing this, the girls couldn't help but put their heads together and whispered: Elbows can't always twist their thighs, and the masters have told us to come here and find out. How do we do that?
However, the words slipped out. These lowly subordinates also left the "Imperial Mausoleum" with interest. As soon as they returned to the gate of the backyard of the palace, they looked at each other as if they had made an appointment, and threw out the doubts in their hearts in unison: The four men in black are staring closely, what else can we do?
At this time, Xiaolan, the personal maid of Concubine Zhuang of the "Jade Palace", blurted out: Sisters, if you want to get the opportunity to go in and "find out". In my opinion, I'm afraid that the only way to do this is to honor all the rewards we have accumulated!
As soon as her words landed, Xiaocui, the personal maid of Ruan Guifei of "Xiangyang Palace", picked up the conversation: Sisters, there is no one who is not a person who loves money. We think Sister Xiaolan is right, so let's go back and pack up our rewards!
These words are like the trumpets sounding in battle. All the girls turned away from the palace backyard and ran back to their bedrooms to dig out the bounty at the bottom of the box. After a few more nostalgic glances, he shook his head and sighed and found a big handkerchief to wrap it!
After about half a burnt incense, these concubines' personal maids came to the gate of the backyard of the palace one after another. They all spread out their handkerchiefs and showed them to their companions!
Looking at all kinds of silver jewelry, several girls couldn't help but say happily: Haha, those four men in black have seen so many different forms of silver jewelry and jade. I'm sure my mouth is so happy that I can't close it, and in the end, I'll definitely tell us everything with a smile!
At the same time, they re-wrapped their beloved bounty and carried it into their arms. Lin Guiren's personal maid Xiaoju put her mouth to the earlobes of the other sisters in turn and said: When you arrive at the "Imperial Mausoleum", the big guys must not take out the rewards together. Do what I command!
Hearing this, the other girls all nodded in understanding. The big guy said in unison: Sister Xiaoju, although we are each our own master. However, we all know that we must act in harmony. Only then can we do this tonight!
As they spoke, the girls couldn't help but reach out and hold each other's hands. Walk to the "Imperial Tomb" in the backyard of the palace again!
