099 Red Face Goes Missing (and Update.)
If Hongyan died, how sad would Hongli be? How far can a relationship that hasn't started hurt him yet?
What you can't get is the best, and in Hongli's heart, it will be an eternal regret, and it will also be a mustard that can't be eliminated between their husband and wife. The emperor has finished his words today, as a husband and a man, he tolerated himself to the last step of the emperor, maybe she didn't do heinous things, but she did enough to make herself feel guilty for the rest of her life, she is not a ruthless person, if she can be frank, what is sad now, what is sad, why should she remember the life and death of a little palace maid.
This time, it's really her fault, Hongli is certainly attentive, but he cares about himself more than anyone else, even if he can't restrain his feelings, he will never do anything sorry for her. If the couple said well, if the queen had sent Hongyan away at that time, nothing would have happened, but she chose a path that made everyone miserable, just to fight for her mother-in-law? She earned this breath, but she was not happy at all.
"If the movement is too big, I'm afraid that the emperor and the queen mother will know that there are always some people in the palace who like to tell right and wrong." Wang Gui said, "But if something really happens, it's even worse." The minions sent a few reliable people out to find them, and don't let anything happen. ”
The queen's eyes were full of worry, and she said, "Find her, bring her to me, I have something to say." ”
Wang Gui was ordered to go out, since he felt that Hongyan was looking for death, he went to the well by the river to find it, and everywhere he went, he was worried that he would meet Hongyan who was already dead, but he walked most of the Forbidden City, and he didn't see anyone dead or dead.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, but there was no news from the people who were sent out, and Wang Gui couldn't imagine that the people he had finally persuaded to go home had quietly sneaked into the Forbidden City at this moment. In the forbidden palace, Fu Heng wore the clothes of a eunuch and shuttled through every palace road, he never stayed away from the palace, he also had people who could pass the news in the palace, and when he learned that Hongyan was gone, Fu Heng was anxious, he didn't know what was happening, but today's loss of soul made him understand that things were not good.
The palace door was closed, Wei Qingtai was wiping his tears, a man, as if he wanted to say goodbye to his daughter.
With the previous experience in the inner palace, Fu Heng was familiar with every road crisscrossing the palace, and carefully walked through every palace to find out if there was anything abnormal, but Hongyan was walking aimlessly in the palace, she neither hid, nor wanted to seek death, after being separated from her father and expelled by the guards, she walked along the palace road, encountered a fork or a corner, and continued to walk along her mind, unconsciously, she no longer knew where she had gone, the black light was blind, a little moonlight, illuminating her every step.
At this time she was tired, and for a day and a night, she was only poured a decoction when she was unconscious, and she did not eat anything. Even though she had no appetite and would not be hungry, her body could not bear it, and at this moment she felt that she could no longer walk, and when she reached the small door of the backyard of the palace, she sat down next to the steps and curled up in the corner.
The tired and dazed person, even if she heard footsteps nearby, she didn't care, she just wanted to rest first when she was tired of walking, but a sound and shadow flashed under the moonlight, and he quickly flashed back, stopped in front of him and asked, "Hongyan, is it Hongyan?" ”
Hongyan raised her face, the man turned her back to her and she couldn't see her face clearly, but the voice Hongyan was familiar, and the last time he spoke to himself was to ask if he would like to marry him as a wife. Hongyan somehow felt the pain of breaking her liver and intestines, and she said, "Lord Fucha, the slave can give you an answer." ”
"Hongyan, are you alright?" Fu Heng didn't care about Hongyan's words, he only cared about her at the moment, and he didn't hesitate to help her, but his hand just touched Hongyan, and someone appeared not far away, approaching quickly with a lantern, and asked fiercely: "Who is it?" ”
At this time, the door behind Hongyan suddenly opened, her body was leaning against the door with all her strength, and Fu Heng wanted to support her, and his center of gravity was towards her. ”
Although Fu Heng was panicked in his heart, he pulled up Hongyan and blocked her behind him, only to hear the footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, he was thinking about how to deal with it, but the man walked out of the door, and the lanterns outside suddenly became bright, only to hear someone say: "Father-in-law, it turned out that Father-in-law was here." ”
Fu Heng peeked through the crack in the door, those people were the guards who inspected the guards, if it was Wang Gui's people, it would be fine, in case they met these guards, they would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, even if his sister did her best to defend him, he was afraid that he would not be tolerated by the Queen Mother.
"I said there was a lot of commotion outside tonight, and you dare to catch rats here with me? Why do you keep walking back and forth, can't I come out and see the movement? That and father-in-law had a tone, and Fu Heng and Hongyan both understood at this moment who they had met.
"And my father-in-law, please rest early, we're leaving, there is a palace maid running away tonight, and the people in that place are also looking for it, so there are more people going back and forth." They hurriedly explained, not daring to provoke this person at all, and the light of the lantern gradually dissipated, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.
He and his father-in-law retreated, closed the small door, looked them up and down, and sighed: "It is a capital crime to be caught, if the eunuch palace maid really meets the eyes, she will go to ask the master for mercy, and there is no good fruit to eat secretly." ”
And father-in-law is the first emperor's side, after the first emperor died, he was going to guard the tomb for the first emperor, but the emperor and the queen mother read his life of hard work, insisted on staying to raise him in the palace, now in charge of the affairs of Shoukang Palace, naturally it is also an idle errand, Mr. Wu is his apprentice who trained him personally, and he is also respectful when he sees his father-in-law, naturally the guards and eunuchs in this palace all respect him.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter?" Suddenly, a girl's voice came, but when she saw a petite girl running with a lantern, the hall suddenly lit up, and the manager saw Fu Heng and exclaimed, "Isn't this Lord Fucha?" ”
He hurriedly shouted to the little palace maid: "Go back and rest, it's none of your business, don't tell anyone about things here." ”
The little girl was very obedient, stuffed the lantern to her father-in-law, and ran away.
He father-in-law turned to say: "That's my adopted child, very obedient, she won't tell anyone, but Lord Fucha, it's not good for you to be like this." This one, where is the palace maid, looking at the clothes...... It's not like a palace maid. ”
The matter has come to this point, Fu Heng can only hope that he can get along with his father-in-law, don't give them out, and it is best to let him go with Hongyan, Hongyan heard Fu Heng say that he wanted to take her away, and refused in a panic: "Lord Fucha, the slave and maid don't leave, what should I do if I leave Amma, he will be questioned." ”
Fu Heng looked at her helplessly, and said with tears in his eyes: "The slave doesn't know how she should live, and she doesn't have the face to see anyone, but I still have my father and mother and brothers, if I die, they will be affected by me." ”
He and his father-in-law have gone through three dynasties, from the companion of the first emperor to the chief of the Forbidden City, he has seen too many things in his life, in order to maintain the peace and dignity of the palace, he has also done ruthless things, but now he is old and just waiting to close his eyes and go underground to serve the first emperor, and he has become more and more calm, and he can smile at anything in the face of the situation. At this moment, he only said lightly: "Lord Fucha, this girl is an understanding person, what about you?" If you just leave, how can the queen be thoughtful? ”
At the mention of the queen, Hongyan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly ran away from Fu Heng, stood on the opposite side, and begged Fu Heng: "The slave maid is already sorry for the queen's mother, and she has already betrayed her, Lord Fucha, please, don't let the slave and maid make mistakes again, I don't want to make the mother sad again." ”
Fu Heng shook his head again and again, his heart was heartbroken: "Hongyan, what's wrong with you?" ”
He father-in-law became more and more incomprehensible, but he understood the severity, and Zhengse said to Fu Heng: "This girl has already made it clear, if the adult has to go his own way, the slave can only do things according to the rules." The best way now, how did you come and how to go, as for this girl, if you can still trust the slave, give her to the slave. ”
Hongyan bowed deeply to Fu Heng, and choked up: "My lord's heart, Hongyan is grateful, but my lord, Hongyan can't be sorry for Niangniang, and I'm sorry for you again, the slave and maid will only kill everyone if they go with you, and the slave and maid didn't think about escaping, I just don't know myself, where else can I go......"
Speaking of sadness, Hongyan covered her mouth for fear of crying, and her father-in-law had already opened the small door and said, "My lord, you'd better leave immediately, and when things get bigger, the slave can just ask for his own safety." ”
"Your Excellency, you go quickly." Hongyan said, took a few steps back, and suddenly fell to the ground, startled Fu Heng at a loss, he stepped forward to support Hongyan, but Hongyan begged, "Adults, let's go." ”
Fu Heng was helpless, he broke in on impulse, originally he was afraid that Hongyan would seek death, and he temporarily wanted to take her away, but Hongyan had a firm idea, this road would not work, and now that the palace was looking for her, it was impossible for him to take Hongyan away, something really happened, but I was afraid that my sister would not be able to take her care for them.
"Let's go, sir." He father-in-law urged again, Fu Heng finally moved out of the small door step by step, and he father-in-law closed the door unceremoniously, he came back to his senses, saw Hongyan covering his face and crying bitterly, sighed lightly, pulled his hand and said, "Girl, get up, the rest of the matter is not over yet." ”
This whole night, Wang Gui rummaged through the Forbidden City and failed to find Hongyan, the queen slept in a daze, woke up and asked Wang Gui if he had returned, and finally waited until he came back, but there was still no news, the queen almost believed that Hongyan had found death, and the overwhelming fear and guilt almost crushed her. The emperor described Hongyan so miserably, she must have been frightened, she must have thought that she had done something sorry for the queen, but what was wrong with her?
"If you look for her again, you will find her even if you die." The queen was already in tears, and she read in her heart, Hongyan, you must not have anything to do.
In the Shoukang Palace, after the concubine of the Emperor Shouqi has an age, she wakes up early every day, when the sky is bright, the palace has prepared to wash and breakfast, when the concubine combs her hair, the palace maid at the bottom said that she asked to see her father-in-law, and the concubine ordered him to come in, and said with a smile: "How did you think about it today, the emperor and the queen mother said that they would give birth to you, and I didn't dare to work." ”
and his father-in-law bent his knees and beat Qian'er, and said with a smile: "The concubine is a slave, and the slave is not anything in front of you." But today, there is something I want to ask my mother to be considerate. ”
The concubine smiled: "With the face of my father-in-law, I can walk sideways in the Forbidden City, why did I come to beg me?" ”
But before the words fell, the beautiful palace maid who came in from outside the door, Concubine Shouqi already recognized the red face, and said strangely: "Girl, why are you here?" The grandmother beside the concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered a few words with the master, and the concubine was surprised, "It turns out that yesterday it was said that the emperor accepted a newcomer, is it a red face?" She's not the ...... of the queen's side."
The concubine didn't finish her words, but only smiled meaningfully and asked her father-in-law, "What the hell is going on?" ”
And said that Hongyan disappeared all night, people were looking for it everywhere in the palace, no matter how secret and careful Wang Gui did, he couldn't escape the eyes of people with a heart, and the movement spread out early in the morning, and Mr. Wu didn't dare to imagine the emperor's anger, instead of facing the emperor, it was better to come out to find it himself, and if he found someone, there was nothing.
This kind of thing must also reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and Mama Hua has heard the Queen Mother say no less than a few times that she wants to give Hongyan to death, and Mama understands in her heart that even if this turmoil passes, Hongyan can survive in the Sixth Palace, and if she is not liked by the Queen Mother, the road in the future will not be easy to walk.
But no one thought that they were looking for it everywhere, stretching their necks everywhere and waiting to see the jokes, there was news in Shoukang Palace, and the concubine of Emperor Shouqi sent someone to inform the queen that Wei Hongyan, an official woman surnamed Feng yesterday, was by her side one night, saying that she met it while walking, and felt that she was very close to talking, and after bringing it back to the palace, it was unconsciously late, and the concubine stayed with her for one night, thinking that it was no big deal, but she didn't expect to alarm the sixth palace.
When the queen heard that Hongyan was still alive and was still with the concubine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the concubine of Emperor Shouqi was a more noble person than the queen mother, if the concubine came forward, she would not have to be afraid of the words from Mama Hua, saying that the queen mother was bent on giving Hongyan to death.
The queen personally went to Shoukang Palace to take Hongyan back, but she met someone from Ningshou Palace and wanted to take Hongyan to see the Queen Mother.
Although Concubine Shouqi is highly respected, she will not openly oppose the Queen Mother, not to mention that for the sake of a little palace maid, she acquiesced to the people of Ningshou Palace to take Hongyan away. As for life and death, the guild sent someone to watch, and at a critical moment, the concubine would inevitably come forward to save Hongyan. It doesn't matter what the position is for the concubines, they just pity a young life, they have been in this palace for decades, they have experienced too much life and death, and now they all understand that nothing is heavier than living well.
When the queen came, Hongyan had already followed the people of Ningshou Palace, and the queen looked at each other, after a day and a night, Hongyan still remembered the gentle and kind smile when the queen brought bird's nest to her, but now, she was the one who broke the queen's heart.
