Chapter Twenty-Nine: Silence Rises in the Dead of Night
Miss Ning was a figure known to everyone in the palace before, but few people dared to mention it in front of Xuanyuan Zili. She didn't know who this man was at first. Until a side concubine came to provoke and said:
"What about the princess? As soon as Miss Ning came back, didn't she have to give way obediently? Do you really think you're a character? "
She didn't care about these things, but she ran to Xuanyuan Zili and asked Xuanyuan Zili as if she was in a daze: "Who is Miss Ning?" "
That day was the first time that Xuanyuan Zili was angry with her, and his expression was so gloomy that people couldn't stand it. She stood in front of him, thinking several times that he was going to make a move on her. But in the end, he just glanced at her lightly and said, "That's not the person you should ask, Gu Liangyue, just do what you should do." "
She chuckled, turned and exited his study, never thinking about the man again. Even hearing people mention it will have such a big mood swing, what kind of status should that Ning girl have in Xuanyuanzi's centrifugation?
Prime Minister Mo nodded slightly, and sighed: "The emperor is said to be very affectionate to that one. But Situ Ning, she is the daughter of General Situ. ”
Liang Yue was stunned, and a gentle face appeared in her mind, with a green beard on her chin, and a pride. General Situ is the greatest hero of the Apocalypse, and when the first emperor was still there, he made countless military exploits for the Apocalypse. However, three months earlier, General Situ had left Kyoto on the pretext of being stationed at the border pass, and his family had gone with him.
She didn't understand a little, since Xuanyuan Zili was destined to ascend the throne, why didn't General Situ stay in Kyoto to help, but instead the whole family went to the border?
"Prime Minister, could it be General Situ, does it have anything to do with that letter?" Liang Yue frowned and asked softly.
Mo Zhiyuan stroked his beard, looked at the scattered chess pieces and said, "If I say that the letter is from Lord Situ who secretly befriended the first emperor, do you believe it?" ”
Her pupils dilated suddenly, and Liang Yue felt that there was a flash of light in her mind, but she was too fast to catch it. He was shocked and suspicious in his heart, and muttered: "Impossible, General Situ has no reason to do that, not to mention that Situ Ning is a person who is very likely to become the queen, and he will not benefit himself at all if he does that." ”
"yes, why?" Prime Minister Mo closed his eyes: "The old man can't figure it out, obviously his daughter became the queen, and she is also a status above ten thousand people under one person." But he was not satisfied. ”
Not satisfied? Liang Yue frowned, what Prime Minister Mo meant, could it be that General Situ had the intention of usurping the throne? How is it possible, the Situ family is all important ministers of the imperial court, dedicated to the country and the people, and has never done anything unfair, and is also the only person she knows of officials who has admiration, how can it...
"That's it, that's all the old man can say." Prime Minister Mo shook his head, a sinister smile returned to his face, and said to Liangyue: "The old man is the traitor referred to by Qianfu, and that person is a loyal minister admired by thousands of people. If I were you, I would choose not to believe in myself. ”
"Liangyue went out of the palace, not just with his eyes." Gu Liangyue walked to the edge of the chessboard and put the scrambled chess pieces one by one in the place she thought was right, there was no expression on her delicate face, and her voice was calm and calm: "Thank you Prime Minister for telling Liangyue so much, believe it or not, I won't know until I check it." If you are too gullible or too arbitrary, you will die quickly, so don't worry, if this is the case, Liangyue will be on your old side. ”
Prime Minister Mo looked at Gu Liangyue in surprise, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, this girl is so strange, she is really different from other concubines. It's better to say that she is heroic than beautiful. It's really a rare good woman, and Your Majesty didn't see this person's goodness clearly.
Catching a glimpse of the sword at Gu Liangyue's waist out of the corner of his eye, Prime Minister Mo hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "The old man is a little strange, what did the girl do before?" ”
Liang Yue paused slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Ordinary people, do everything." Prime Minister, Liang Yue retired first. ”
Before Mo Zhiyuan could react, the person in front of him had already flipped out of the wall, and his posture was dashing.
Do everything? Prime Minister Mo lowered his head in a daze, but found that the chess pieces on the chessboard were arranged as they were at the beginning. The only difference is that Gu Liangyue took a few more steps, and the sunspot was already in a desperate situation. The whole game of chess, and there is no power to return to the sky.
Slightly frightened, Prime Minister Mo looked up at the direction where Liang Yue left, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was getting late, and Liang Yue returned to the Buyao Mansion. The housekeeper said that Bu Yao was summoned to the palace by the emperor, Liang Yue nodded, didn't ask much, and went directly back to his room.
If General Situ sent that letter to the first emperor, then how did General Situ get it?
Lighting a lamp, Liangyue sat at the table and took a sip of tea, and began to slowly think about what happened. She took the letter and sent the letter, and there was no mistake, but the person in the study was not Xuanyuan Zili, and she didn't find out. So the letter went into the hands of the man who pretended to be Xuanyuan Zili.
So who can pretend to be Xuanyuan Zili? Moreover, Xuanyuan Zili was summoned to the palace by the first emperor, the reason is...
Her eyes lit up, and Liang Yue clenched her fists and gasped.
That's right, the reason is that General Situ has returned to the court. The timing was too coincidental, like a conspiracy.
However, Mo Zhiyuan basically doesn't know much about this person, and the outside world's evaluation of him is also very poor, and it is unknown whether he framed General Situ. If she continues to reason according to this logic, the mastermind behind the scenes should be General Situ.
If it's so simple, can't Xuanyuan Zili find out? Why are you still tossing so much?
Shaking her head, she thought it was too complicated, her mind was a little messy today, so she just went to bed early and talked about it tomorrow.
Leaving the lamp on the table, Liang Yue looked at the bed, took off her robe and lay down.
After a while, there was a sudden soft knock in the window. Extremely light and very soft sound, just a small hole in the window paper. However, Liang Yue still woke up. Her sleep is already extremely shallow, and she has been plotted a lot over the years, and she will not sleep soundly in an unsafe place for a long time.
Standing up gently, Liang Yue took the face towel placed next to the pillow and put it on, quietly watching the movement on the window.
The technique is too clumsy, it seems that she is not taken too seriously. Liang Yue chuckled, stood up and flew onto the beam. Watching the white mist in the tube on the window being blown into the room, he shook his head secretly.
The injury is not complete, but when she is not in the palace, she is inexplicably much more tenacious, and now she is lying on the beam like a leopard, the wound on her shoulder is a little itchy, but it is not painful at all, and she even has some excitement.
It's been a long, long time since I've had this feeling of hunting. Liang Yue waited quietly, and half an hour later, the door of her locked room was pried open.
There were three of them, and they walked silently towards her bed. Liang Yue was about to make a move, so as not to dirty her bed, when she heard an angry shout outside: "What person! ”
It's Bu Yao's voice, and it looks like he's going home. However, in the middle of the night, she came to her.
The three men in black were startled, and two of them quickly attacked Bu Yao, and one of them slashed at her bed with a knife. This time, the movement revealed a bit of a master's taste, and the knife was extremely fast, and it was on her futon in an instant.
It's a pity that I was blocked.
The lamp on the table had been extinguished, and only the moonlight outside could see some figures. Liang Yue quietly looked at the man who grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
Xuanyuan Zili turned the man's knife upside down in anger, instantly slashing into the heart of the man in black, killing him with one move. There was no expression on the iceberg-like face, as if it was only a paper figure that fell in front of him. Liang Yue was watching, and saw him look up, look coldly in his direction and say, "Come down." ”
was discovered, Liang Yue jumped off the beam, patted the dust on her skirt, and saluted: "Slave and maid see Your Majesty." ”
Xuanyuan Zili looked at the person in front of him, and said with a slight raised eyebrows: "How many people have you offended, and you were assassinated as soon as you left the palace." ”
Liang Yue straightened up and said helplessly: "There are a lot of lives on the slave maid, so it is reasonable to be assassinated." But your majesty, why are you in danger at this hour? ”
What else? Xuanyuan Zili snorted coldly, looked at the two people outside, and said coldly: "I just came to Mubei Mansion to have a look." ”
Well? What's so good to see in this house, it's still this hour. Liang Yue glanced at Emperor Ming Xuan strangely, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Bu Yao summoned the butler to deal with these assassins, and then walked in with a robe, looked Liang Yue up and down, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Liang Yue shook her head and was about to speak, but her body was stopped behind by Xuanyuan Zili.
"It's time for the guards in your house to change." The emperor looked at Bu Yao and said in a deep voice: "If you can assassinate her today, you may be assassinated tomorrow." You are no more sensitive than this man, and you don't know how much you will die. ”
Bu Yao's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Where is the minister not sensitive? It was a pair of two just now, and the minister was unscathed. ”
The emperor did not speak, but looked at him quietly.
“… The minister knows, and he will change it tomorrow. Bu Yao said as if deflated: "It's not too early, does Your Majesty secretly return to the palace or just rest here with the minister?" ”
The emperor pursed his lips and said coldly, "I will go back by myself." ”
He only came out to hang out when he was suddenly idle, but tonight he saw blood, which was really worth the trip. Xuanyuan flicked his sleeves and walked out. Bu Yao smiled at Liangyue and went out with him.
There was still a smell of blood in the room, Liang Yue snorted slightly, took his robe and walked out.
The moonlight is good tonight, and it is estimated that these two people are out of the palace to admire the moon. Liang Yue sat in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky, and quietly thought about where she should start tomorrow.
Thinking about it, I was distracted, and the iceberg face of Xuanyuan Zili appeared in front of him, either with a hateful expression or no expression. When facing her, the emperor's mood was really monotonous.
However, she remembered that Xuanyuan Zili had laughed once. In the garden of the palace, he held a jade pendant, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. It was gentle and tight, but it didn't belong to anyone in the palace.
Now I understand that the jade pendant is probably also related to Miss Ning. She used to look up to someone for a long time, but only now did she know who he cared about, whether it was too late, and he deserved not to like herself.
sat quietly for a night, and Liang Yue never felt sleepy. finally dawned, but I got a message that I didn't know whether to be happy or worried:
General Situ returned to the court.
