Chapter 33: Who Are You Entrusted With?
Chapter 33—Who Are You Entrusted To?
Running all the way, a group of six people, but the speed is fast, but I don't know if Ge Dan and they have gone another way, they have not seen Ge Dan and their horse team all the way over, for this stout and bold man, Wu Ling'er still has a good impression, and it is a little regrettable that he has not been able to meet again, but then he thought about it, and felt that what he went to the royal court to do this time, it was better to mix less with others, so as not to turn around and harm others. After thinking about it like this, her mood was much better.
After running wildly for ten days, everyone finally met the royal court. At this time, it was already a little dark, and Wu Ling'er and the others were not in a hurry to enter the city, but rode their horses in another direction.
For the next two days, Liu Zaiyi and the monkey probed the plan and path of the retreat, as well as various tools. However, Wu Ling'er and the four of them put on a little makeup, and then they blended into the city to inquire about the news of the royal court.
In the evening, after the six of them got together, Wu Ling'er put everyone's news together: "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the royal court!" ”
"The Yan clan hasn't appeared for a while, and even the little prince hasn't come out. If there was no accident, they were held hostage. ”
Wu Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Tonight, the monkey and I will go into the palace to explore. No, a few of you have prepared what we're going to use when we retreat. ”
Yu Wei's face was a little embarrassed: "Ling ...... Childe, Liu Gongzi, he can pretend to be a Beidi person, and I can too, why do I have to pretend to be like that? "It's okay if a few girls are dressed as slaves for trading, why are they tied up as slaves as a big man?
"Who told you to look so good?" Liu Zaiyi smiled proudly: "You just obediently be bound!" ”
Seeing Liu Zaiyi's arrogant appearance, Wu Ling'er raised her hand and slapped him on the head: "No, they are here to help, if I see you bullying him again, be careful that I beat you." ”
was taught a lesson by Wu Ling'er, Liu Zaiyi immediately closed his mouth obediently, but he was much more obedient than in front of Fan Zhixiang.
Lian'er was a little worried: "Childe, why don't I go in with you at night?" ”
Wu Ling'er shook her head: "You are different from the original now, if you follow us in, it will only expose us soon." Don't worry, if I'm with the monkeys, it's fine. ”
Xiaohong glanced at the monkey with a look of disdain: "Childe, I'm more relieved that you go alone!" Let him follow, I'm afraid that he will be discovered before he enters the harem. ”
"Hey, how can I be as bad as you say?" As soon as the monkey heard that Xiaohong had degraded himself like this, he immediately protested dissatisfiedly.
Wu Ling'er raised her hand to stop the quarrel between the two: "Okay, stop arguing." If you are really idle, you have time to visit their National Teacher's Mansion. As a national teacher, if something happened to the Yan clan and the new king, it was impossible for him not to know, unless he was also an accomplice. ”
Yu Wei thought for a while: "Then only Liu Zaiyi will go, and it will be inconvenient for the three of us to go." ”
Let Liu Zaiyi go alone, no one will be relieved. Wu Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Forget it, the matter in Zaiyi's hands can't be delayed." We will first visit the Imperial Palace tonight, and then visit the National Teacher's Mansion tomorrow. ”
That night, after Wu Ling'er and the monkey packed up their things, they rushed to the palace. Although Beidi is also a country, after all, it is located in a remote area, and because it is a country established by nomads, the palace is not as tall and majestic as Chang'an City.
After entering the palace, the monkey was a little worried: "In such a big place, how can we find the Yan family?" ”
Wu Ling'er snorted and suddenly smiled: "Of course there is a way!" You come with me! ”
The monkey also sniffed, and immediately smelled a fragrance: "Master, we are here to be spies, not to steal food!" ”
"Stupid! You're right to come with me. In the middle of the road, Wu Ling'er knocked over a palace maid and a guard, and then the two quickly changed their clothes. When Wu Ling'er changed into the palace maid's clothes and held the tray in the palace maid's hand, she found that the monkey was staring at herself: "What are you looking at?" Why don't you hurry up and get your clothes dressed? What should I do if someone finds out? ”
The monkey came to his senses, quickly changed his clothes, and followed behind Wu Ling'er.
At this time, a team of guards came over from the opposite side, and Wu Ling'er immediately became trembling: "Good evening, adults!" ”
The leader of the guards frowned and glanced at Wu Ling'er: "You don't sleep so late, what are you wandering around outside." ”
"Back to my lord, the king wanted to eat supper, so he ordered someone to make a bowl of broth. But everyone was resting and refused to go, so they asked me to send them over. I...... I am a newcomer, and I entered the palace only yesterday, and I don't know where the king's dormitory is. ”
Hearing Wu Ling'er say this, the leader of the guards looked at the monkey behind Wu Ling'er with dissatisfaction: "She doesn't know, is it possible that you don't know either?" ”
"Report to my lord, I am not on duty tonight, I can't walk in the palace, I got up at night just now, and I was stopped by her and asked me where to go! But I talked to her for a long time, and she didn't figure out how to go. "The monkey is also fluent in Beidi, which makes people listen to it without any suspicion.
The leader of the guards nodded, turned to one of the guards beside him and said, "You, send her to the king's bedchamber." As for you, go back to sleep! ”
"Yes!" After seeing that Wu Ling'er gave him a gesture to see outside the palace, the monkey quietly retreated.
Holding the broth, Wu Ling'er and the guards quickly came to the bedroom of King Beidi. This is also in Beidi, if it is in Chang'an, how can a palace maid in the kitchen enter the king's bedroom?
However, looking at the guards in this dormitory, they are really loose enough, and even the guards on duty are lazy, it seems that they are really not good at it.
Entering the room, Wu Ling'er saw a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of the bed carefully wiping the sweat of a young man.
The guard who sent Wu Ling'er pointed to the bed and said, "You go, I'm going back too!" ”
"Thank you, big brother!" After Wu Ling'er nodded in thanks, she walked to the bedside: "Niangniang, the king's supper is here, feed the king some while it's hot!" ”
Obviously, this noble woman couldn't care so much at this time: "How can he still eat like this?" Go down! ”
"Niangniang, people are iron, rice is steel, if the king doesn't eat, how can his body be good? This is the soup that the slave and maid boiled according to the secret recipe of their hometown, feed the king to drink some, maybe it will be better? When she got closer, Wu Ling'er saw that the young man was poisoned, and she soaked the ring in her hand in the soup without a trace: "After all, you have to eat something to be good for your body!" ”
After a few words of persuasion, the Yan family took the soup in Wu Ling'er's hand and fed the young man on the bed a few sips, but what flowed out was much more than what he ate. Seeing this, Yan Shi sighed and put down the bowl and spoon in his hand: "Alas, it's useless...... In the past two or three months......"
"What...... It's delicious......" Suddenly a slightly hoarse voice came from the head of the bed, so startled that Yan almost knocked over the bowl in his hand: "Jinshan, are you awake?!" ”
"Mother, what's wrong with me? I'm so dizzy, and I don't have any strength in my body! The boy on the bed finally opened his eyes.
Yan Shi looked at the young man, glanced at the bowl in his hand, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Ling'er, who was still standing aside: "You boiled this soup." ”
"Hui Niangniang, this soup is not boiled by slaves, but slaves and maids add some special herbs from their hometown to the soup, which is said to be very good for people's bodies." Wu Ling'er was still low, but she could feel the burning gaze of the Yan family.
After a while, Yan Shi sighed: "This soup is very good, the king drank some of it, but he still hasn't woken up, do you understand?" ”
Wu Ling'er bowed her head and responded: "The slave has been waiting outside the house since she finished delivering the soup, and she hasn't seen anything. ”
After nodding with satisfaction, Yan asked Wu Ling'er, "Who are you entrusted by?" ”
“…… Niangniang, I am entrusted by the people of the world. I hope that Niangniang can calm this war. Wu Ling'er was silent for a while and then decided to tell the truth: "I know that Niangniang has always loved peace, and the reason why I helped the rebel king this time is also a last resort, if I am willing to heal the king of Beidi, I don't know if Niangniang can help the Tang Dynasty eradicate the rebellion of Beidi Ati Khan?" ”
