Chapter 340: Rhetoric
Xuanji sneered and looked at the gray-faced Lu Xian, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all superior and proud.
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be a girl from the Huanyi Bureau, no wonder she was so clumsy. ”
Lu Xun wondered how she recognized herself, so her eyes jumped over Xuanji's face, and she only looked familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember which palace it was from. Because of inferiority, you can only obediently listen to the lesson.
"My sister has taught me that it is the slave who does not do well."
"Sister?" Xuanji snorted lightly: "Am I that old?" ”
When the palace maids at the bottom of the palace rank saw the palace maids who were taller than themselves, they all called "sister" or "aunt", so when Xuanji spoke like this, there was a taste of picking bones in eggs.
Lu Xun looked up in amazement: "My sister is naturally not old, it just happens to be a flower and a moon, it's just that Lu Xun respects my sister." ”
"Land raid?" Xuanji snorted coldly, and looked at her critically and viciously: "You also deserve such a nice name?" Look at your hands, your face, what has become of it? It's like the old bark. I'm afraid I'll scratch my hand if I touch it. With your virtue, you are still restless and self-conscious, thinking about how to seduce men all day long, you should save it quickly! ”
Xuanji's words made Lu Xi's tears roll in his eyes. When she was originally serving in Ci'an Palace, she was not delicate and tender, and she could get out of the water with a pinch. Later, I entered the Huanyi Bureau, needless to say, this hand has been soaking in the water, and then the cold wind blew, one by one the blood, the new one was connected to the old, and it was never comfortable. It's been a long time, and there is a layer of skin on his face and hands, otherwise why did Zhou Yuan see that his eyes were getting colder and colder, and he was seduced by the fox spirit.
Thinking of this, Lu Xian's heart sank, and he raised his eyes and quietly glanced at Xuanji.
At the beginning, this woman didn't have any ill will towards herself, why did she suddenly change her attitude, didn't say anything coldly, and sarcastically mocked herself? There are a lot of things that the palace people in the palace squeeze each other, especially the palace maids with high status who are also commonplace for them to call and drink. However, either there are interests involved, or there are contradictions, where does the unprovoked hostility come from?
Women are sensitive, and Lu Xun immediately became suspicious of Xuanji, especially her sentence "seducing men", which directly revealed her heart.
If it is said that seducing men, she has only been kind to Zhou Yuan alone from beginning to end, she knows herself, and she is so jealous, is there anything between her and Zhou Yuan?
She raised her eyes and glanced at Xuanji, and was immediately noticed by Xuanji, and said viciously with a glare: "What do you see, are you not convinced?" Even if you are transferred out of the Huanyi Bureau, it is only from the tenth-class palace maid to the eighth-class, far away from me! I advise you to be quiet and don't be self-conscious. ”
The palace maid who was traveling with her on the side stretched her clothes: "Xuanji, why are you so angry today?" What kind of anger can you cure with a miscellaneous palace person? ”
Xuanji also instantly realized that she was somewhat out of shape, and snorted coldly: "It's just that she doesn't like her." ”
With that, he turned around from Lu Raid proudly, twisted the parrot green embroidered shoes fiercely, and stepped on the tips of Lu Raid's shoes.
Lu Xun suddenly felt pain, but he could only swallow his anger, stunned in place, staring at her back, repeating her name in his mouth, lest he forget it.
She began to look for an opportunity to talk to Zhou Yuan, she wanted to ask Zhou Yuan in person, was the person who had a private meeting with him that night was the woman named Xuanji?
Although Zhou Yuan was deliberately avoiding the landing attack, there were opportunities.
Because, Zhou Yuan is on duty in the Forbidden City every day, and the errand of the land raid makes her have full freedom.
When Zhou Yuan saw her, he pretended to be serious and didn't look at her.
There was no one around Zhou Yuan, so he was a bit of a superfluous.
Lu Xian passed by him and lowered his voice: "I have something very important to tell you. ”
Zhou Yuan paused, was extra vigilant, and looked left and right: "Can't you say no here?" ”
Lu Xun sneered: "If you are not afraid that the matter between you and Xuanji will be publicized and known by the people in the palace, I will say it." ”
A trace of panic flashed on Zhou Yuan's face, and he scolded lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Lu Xun was originally just a temptation, but she didn't expect Zhou Yuan's reaction to make her heart sink in a moment.
"Is it nonsense, you know it in your own heart, I'm waiting for you in our old place."
Lu Xun turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhou Yuan stopped her in panic: "Change places, right?" ”
There was a slight pleading in his voice.
Lu Zheng's heart sank more and more, like a heavy stone tied, obviously sinking under the water and suffocating, and he couldn't float up if he was alive.
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Xun snorted coldly again, she knew Zhou Yuan too well, so she was always easy to ask him for words.
Zhou Yuan's forehead was already sweating slightly: "Back door, right?" There were only two people on duty at night, and when he slept at night, we talked at the back door, and there was a hidden place. ”
Lu Xun didn't want to give him time to think about it, so that he could make up lies to deceive himself. But thinking about his current situation, he really can't tolerate any mistakes, and after all, he reluctantly agreed.
Lu Xun and the palace people who were with him changed the night shift, and they waited at the back door of the Tai Hospital very early.
The moment Zhou Yuan heard Xuanji's name come out of Lu Xi's mouth, he already realized that something was wrong. He didn't know how Lu Xun would know about Xuanji's existence, who was the tongue to listen to? He was apprehensive and thought about it for a long time, considering all the causes and consequences, as well as the pros and cons, and also thought of several ways to coax and persuade the land attack.
Zhou Yuan didn't care about the land attack, he was just worried that it would be bad for him if things were publicized. He is ready to act when the time comes, to see how she asks for guilt, accuses herself, sees the moves, moves with affection, and understands reason.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the imperial physician on duty had already slept, and he quietly walked to the back door and knocked lightly on the back door five times, three long and two short.
Lu Raid walked over from outside the door and sneered: "So cautious, Brother Zhou, you don't even dare to go out of the door?" Looking for you to say a few words, I have to cut through the crack in the door. ”
Zhou Yuan begged in horror: "Grandma, you make a small voice, don't be heard, I'm all for your good." ”
"Your mind has been seduced by that vixen now, where will there be any place in your heart for my land raid?"
"Lu Zheng, let me ask you, who did you listen to about this?" Zhou Yuan's voice sounded serious and extremely serious.
Lu Xi sneered: "Who else can there be?" Naturally, it was Xuanji herself who found me and said it. ”
"Impossible!" Zhou Yuan said categorically: "How could she talk nonsense by herself?" ”
"Nonsense? The matter of the two of you having a private meeting at night is now spreading so lively, almost half of the people in the Forbidden City know about it, do you still want to hide it from me? Zhou Yuan, you are simply a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs, right? Have you forgotten the promise you made to me? ”
"Lu Raid, you listen to me!" Zhou Yuan suddenly became anxious: "This high place is unbearable, and now that I am sitting in the position of the deputy court, how many people are staring at me, and they can't wait to make something out of nothing and drag me down and replace me." If it weren't for the emperor's insight and clearing my name, my life would have been in danger by now. ”
"Hehe, yin you? If you are guilty of thousands of crimes, why use this method? It's not painful for you, Imperial Doctor Zhou, and I can't put you to death. ”
"If you don't believe it, go and inquire, the imperial doctor Shi Yunhai falsely accused me of having a private meeting with the queen mother in the middle of the night, and now I have lost my life, and Concubine Ling has also been grounded by the emperor for this. That night, Yushu stayed in the Qingqiu Palace and stayed at home. When they couldn't make a plan, they became angry and ashamed, so they naturally climbed around and blamed me and her, so that they could take the opportunity to overturn the case. ”
"Put away your rhetoric, Zhou Yuan, you are a three-year-old child when I land raid, so easy to be deceived?" Lu Xun suddenly raised his voice: "Others may not know about this matter, but I know it clearly in my heart, if someone else frames you, how can I know the square inch behind the rockery?" Then how could Xuanji be so hostile to me? If you admit it calmly, I can still look up to you on the land. ”
Zhou Yuan was speechless for an instant, Lu Xian, this woman is too smart, and when she deals with her, it can be said that she rarely has the upper hand, and it is not easy to hide it from her.
It's just that Lu Xun and Zhou Yuan, one has a heart and the other has no intention, so this affectionate one is always calculated.
He Zhou Yuan has finally climbed to today's position now, how can he let this matter ruin him?
He begged in a mournful voice: "Lu Xian, you must believe me this time, I am really innocent with that Xuanji." If there is half a lie, there will be five thunders in the sky, and I will not die well! ”
He spoke categorically, and swore a curse, Lu Xi was a woman after all, and he put all his thoughts on him, so he immediately softened.
"If you explain it clearly, who can use your swear to curse yourself viciously like this?"
Zhou Yuan softened her tone when he heard her inside the door, and knew that there was hope, so he lamented: "Lu Xian, I am really wronged in this matter, since you don't believe it, then I will tell the truth." You're right, I did go to the rockery that night to meet Xuanji. ”
"You!"
"Don't worry, listen to what I've to say. In fact, I was forced to do this. ”
"Hehe, could it be that someone forced you to have a private meeting with that Xuanji? With a knife on your neck? ”
Zhou Yuan sighed deeply: "You often come to the Tai Hospital to look for me, and the matter of the two of us is known by that Shi Yunhai!" You know, that Shi Yunhai and I have never been on good terms, and he has long intended to replace him, so he used this to blackmail me.
I have thought about this matter repeatedly, if it is delayed, Shi Yunhai will come out sooner or later, then your life must not be guaranteed, so I gave birth to such a strategy. ”
"What's the strategy?"
"I asked Miss Xuanji to pretend to be the jade book next to the queen's mother, and co-starred with me in such a play in the middle of the night, deliberately seducing Shi Yun to hook the sea, so that he believed it and reported me to Concubine Ling for credit. Then, the emperor confronted him, and Yushu denied it, and naturally Shi Yunhai implemented the name of planting, even if he confessed to you and me, the emperor would not believe it.
It's just that the Queen Mother favors Concubine Ling, and she must find out the truth of the matter. So I listened to what Shi Yunhai said, transferred you out of the Huanyi Bureau, and intended to put you in charge of the errand near our Tai Hospital, I'm afraid that it was originally a conspiracy, and you fell for their plan! ”
