Chapter 689 New Pain and Old Wounds
The full moon is so bright tonight. It's just a pity that the little stone can no longer be seen.
Little Rock likes to come out on a full moon night. Qin Liusu now also hopes that the small stone can jump out of that jade again.
Even if she said that she was stupid and scolded herself for being stupid, Qin Liusu was willing to listen.
Heaven is still not thin on Qin Liusu, but every time it favors Qin Liusu, it always comes at the expense of others.
Always let Qin Liusu watch the people around her leave because of herself, she has already endured too much pain like this. But Qin Liusu has been unable to do anything.
Nor can it change this reality.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to report ......"
When Shangshu Zhang Lun and the squire Wang Wei came to see Dugu Yi together, they brought another important news. Liu Wang Duanmu Lei coveted the military power in the hands of the princes, and then started the idea of national military power.
"Your Majesty, according to the information provided by the old minister's cronies, then Prince Liu has already approached Marshal Cao several times, trying to use the emperor's military power......"
As soon as Shangshu Zhang Lun said this, Duguyi couldn't help but be surprised. Duanmu Lei was ambitious, and in order to seek power and usurp the throne, he had already turned his mind to the army of the imperial court.
"This Duanmu Lei, what tricks does he want to come up with......" Dugu Yi was unhurried about this matter, and the two ministers looked anxious.
"Your Majesty, then Prince Liu has not been able to negotiate with Marshal Cao several times, but I am afraid that he will do something else out of the ordinary......"
"There's no hurry." Dugu Yiyi waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said to the two ministers: "Staring at him first, see what else he moves, with Duanmu Lei's temperament, with Chen Ping, he shouldn't mess around for the time being......"
Dugu Yi seemed to have calculated correctly. If Duanmu Lei fails to win over Marshal Cao, there must be other similar strategies......
"The Emperor's ......"
In addition to this incident, the waiter Wang Wei came with Zhang Lun today and brought a person.
"Your Majesty, the old minister came to see the emperor today, and there is a reluctant invitation......"
"Wang Aiqing just said it."
Accompanying Wang Wei was his son Wang Shixuan.
"The grass people knock on the emperor." Wang Shixuan honestly bowed to Duguyi. Dugu Yi gave an order and let him be flattened.
Wang Shixuan entered the palace this time not for anything else. asked his father for a while, and followed Wang Wei into the palace to see the emperor. It's not for the marriage with Princess Wenyin, nor for the sake of her sister Wang Xiaojun.
It's for Xiaoyun.
Qin Liusu had an accident, and Xiaoyun's fate in the palace was difficult to decide from then on. You can't let Xiaoyun be buried in the deep palace for the rest of his life.
This is the meaning of Qin Liusu. After Qin Liusu left the palace, the most relieved person was Xiaoyun.
Qin Liusu dragged Dugu Xun to convey her meaning to Wang Shixuan. In the entire capital, the only person Qin Liusu could think of helping Xiaoyun, and the only person he could trust, was Wang Shixuan.
An Wenzhao's departure made Qin Liusu feel that he had lost too much. When she needed help, she found it difficult to find someone she could trust.
Fortunately, there is Wang Shixuan, as An Wenzhao's good brother, Qin Liusu can only count on him to help Xiaoyun.
"The concubine Niangniang can't rest assured that Xiaoyun can't leave a last word, hoping that you can help." Dugu Xun left with such a simple sentence and left.
Qin Liusu's death was already a sad thing, and Wang Shixuan was definitely going to save Xiaoyun. Whether it is for Qin Liusu or Xiaoyun, he has to save it.
"Your Majesty, this is the reluctant invitation of the grass people to the emperor. Because the grass people used to be friends with the concubine and the mother's brother, so the grass people hope to do something for their best friend......
Wang Shixuan's reluctant invitation to Dugu Yi was nothing, just to let a maid out of the palace. But Duguyi was silent and didn't answer for a long time, but it also made Wang Shixuan's heart hang a thread.
knows how important the concubine is in the emperor's heart, and mentioning the concubine in front of the emperor is nothing more than a risky thing.
No one could have predicted that Duguyi, who heard these words, would be furious at the next moment, or would he respond to Wang Shixuan's request empathetically......
Qin Liusu is gone, and Xiaoyun should also be one of the saddest people. It's just that she has a special temperament, and she almost never shows her feelings on her face.
Especially in this palace.
Su Xiaoyun, who has endured all kinds of hardships and experienced all kinds of struggles since he was a child, will not easily shed tears because he is sad.
With a stubborn personality, she prefers to hide all her emotions in her heart most of the time, except when she gets along with people she knows. Together with her strong self-esteem.
Qin Liusu is dead, Xiaoyun, a foreign maid who followed her master into the palace, it is indeed difficult to decide where she goes.
Yang Ziqi, who has a discerning eye, has a thought. As the queen's mother, she had already deliberately sent a kindness in front of Duguyi.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have always liked Qin Liusu, if the Xiaoyun girl beside her has nowhere to go, it is better to let her follow the concubine."
What Yang Ziqi's intentions are, smart people can see it. Wang Xiaojun is the smart man with a heart.
Although Qin Liusu, who is the public enemy in this harem, is no longer there, the struggle in the harem will not end because of this.
But anyone who is still a little ambitious and still thinking about the rest of his life still covets the position of the queen. But on the throne of this queen sits Yang Ziqi.
Without Qin Liusu, Yang Ziqi will continue to be the next target.
In addition, after a lot of struggle and calculation, these powerful people almost know a little about their opponents.
Even if Wang Xiaojun can't climb to the queen's throne, he has to do something to keep himself from being eaten.
Although Yang Ziqi sits firmly on the throne of the queen, she has more or less fallen into the grip, and she naturally wants to fight to protect her position.
There are also Chen Yanxue who tried to turn over to continue to climb up, Fu Xing'er who continued the next step for her own survival, and those leaders in the harem who were hidden or revealed, and so on.
They will continue to fight in a circle to change their fate.
Wang Xiaojun saw through Yang Ziqi's attempt at a glance. I want to take talents like Xiaoyun by my side, so that I can use them for myself in the future.
Coincidentally, Wang Xiaojun also wanted Xiaoyun to be the person next to him.
"If the queen really wants to accept this girl, then the concubine is not easy to rob with the mother. It's just that the queen mother is so kind, but don't be self-defeating......"
Wang Xiaojun had something to say, obviously mocking or even threatening Yang Ziqi something. Yang Ziqi was also obviously frightened.
After all, Wang Xiaojun has her handle in her hands, and she has to be restrained by Wang Xiaojun at all times. This feeling is self-evident.
Xiaoyun was caught between the two of them, and it was really a little difficult. She didn't want anyone to follow. Except for Qin Liusu, she was already unwilling to accept other masters.
Not to mention these women in the harem.
She didn't know what was going on between Wang Xiaojun and the queen, but she could guess that Wang Xiaojun definitely didn't really want to be a personal palace maid.
With her purpose, she just didn't want to fulfill the queen's thoughts.
But this struggle without gunpowder still made Xiaoyun feel uncomfortable. Qin Liusu's bones were not cold, she couldn't do anything, but she still had to watch these women continue to fight.
If she could, she really wanted to go back to the palace again. Even if she returned to Anfu and continued to face Mrs. An, she didn't want to stay in this smoky harem anymore.
It was as if the heavens had really heard Xiaoyun's heart. When Wang Shixuan suddenly appeared in Xiaoyun's sight, she almost thought that she was hallucinating.
Together with Wang Shixuan, Duguyi also came.
"Brother, why are you here?" Faced with Wang Xiaojun's question, Wang Shixuan just glanced at her, and he didn't pay much attention to his own sister. Obviously, he came for Xiaoyun.
After Xiaoyun left with Wang Shixuan, Wang Xiaojun was still confused. Even his own brother doesn't want to recognize her, what a joke this should be.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"Nothing ......"
Dugu Yi and Yang Ziqi explained that although Xiaoyun is Qin Liusu's maid, she is like a sister to Qin Liusu. Now that Xiaoyun is left alone in the palace, Qin Liusu naturally hopes that Xiaoyun can have a good home.
"That's fine......
Yang Ziqi's reassuring answer also revealed more helplessness. Qin Liusu finally became an indispensable piece in Duguyi's heart. He loves Qin Liusu, cares about Qin Liusu, and even Qin Liusu's maid, he gave her such a favor......
These are intermediate to Yang Ziqi, and they can only be slowly diluted by the passage of time.
Qin Liusu was able to return to worry-free again, thanks to Dugu Xun's escort along the way.
Compared with the Dugu Yi that Qin Liusu knew, Dugu Xun, the prince of Nan, who was also noble, really didn't see himself as a prince.
"Is this where you're going back?" Dugu Xun looked at the narcissus building in front of him and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Probably wondering why Qin Liusu came to a green building.
"That's right, this is where I will eventually go back, Lord Nan, thank you for escorting me all the way." Qin Liusu's simple words of thanks contained her endless gratitude to Dugu Xun.
But she could only succinctly hint to Dugu Xun that he should also leave here, go back to where he should be, and do what he should do.
After all, Qin Liusu was destined to fight alone. She carries too many wounds that cannot be healed, and also drags on too much hatred.
She didn't want to owe too much to others, and she was increasingly afraid that someone would give too much because of her.
Sanssouci Town is really a beautiful place. The first time Dugu Xun came here, he only made a short stay, and he was not even left by Qin Liusu to drink a cup of tea.
And he was leaving.
As if he had been on the run, he stepped on the horse that had accompanied him, and with two spurs, he began his journey again.
"Who are you?"
When she first met Narcissus, Qin Liusu was almost regarded as a monster by her. Just because Qin Liusu was covered with a face scarf, almost his entire head was tightly covered, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Judging from Narcissus's first feeling, wrapping herself in such a woman, if she is not an important fugitive, must be an ugly bastard.
"Master, it's my ......" whispered a hint at Narcissus, and Qin Liusu also pulled her to a secret and quiet place to speak.
"Qin Liusu, you ...... You're still alive......"
Narcissus couldn't believe that it was Qin Liusu standing in front of him. She was a little surprised to see such a living Qin Liusu, but more of a surprise.
"Master, I'm ......" Qin Liusu choked up, already speechless, and then threw himself into Narcissus's arms and hugged her tightly.
It's like a child who has been lost for too long and suddenly finds his family.
Master Narcissus actually knew about Qin Liusu, which was a bad sign for Qin Liusu. Since Narcissus already knew, Mrs. Ann would naturally ......
"Master, what about my mother, how is my mother doing now, is she okay?"
"Qin Liusu, your mother ...... her" Facing Qin Liusu's anxious question, Narcissus couldn't help but be silent. Mrs. An's matter, she didn't know how to tell Qin Liusu.
Mrs. Ann had already hanged herself. This is the final answer that Qin Liusu heard. The entire An family was finally left with Qin Liusu alone.
"Qin Liusu, you listen to Master, this time ...... At this time, you must ...... "Narcissus is hesitant, and I don't know how to organize these words, these words of consolation to Qin Liusu."
