Chapter 182: Growing Suspicion
Chapter 182: Growing Suspicion
"The mourning family doesn't mean anything, this queen always doesn't care about things, and everyone will feel wrong." The Queen Mother looked at Qing Ruifan's not very good face, but she also slowed down her tone and said softly, as if she was discussing, but Qing Ruifan knew that it was impossible.
When the queen mother was young, she was a vinegar jar, and it is said that she hurt many people openly and secretly for the sake of the emperor's favor. Of course, Qing Ruifan knew that there was nothing wrong with this, but as he grew up, the Queen Mother did more than one by one, and later, she even asked Qing Ruifan to calculate others for benefits.
Growing up in the royal family, he knew that there was nothing to blame, but the Queen Mother's desire to control him became more and more serious. If nothing else, just look at the present. It has been more than a year since he ascended the throne, but the Queen Mother is still able to know her every move anytime and anywhere, which makes him very uncomfortable. When he was young and had never been the emperor, he thought that when he ascended to the throne, he would inevitably purge the forces around him, but for so long, he really didn't escape the eyes of the queen mother. This makes him very anxious at times.
"Erchen understands, thank you for the teachings of the queen mother." Qing Ruifan and Qing Haoxuan are exactly the same, even if they are really unhappy, they will not show it on their faces, or the Queen Mother has never seen it on his face.
"Yesterday, the emperor came to the mourning family, saying that the emperor was going to send Chu Zhaonan to Baiyue?" Duanxia saw the Queen Mother raise her hand, brought her a soup woman, put the Buddha beads in the Buddha shrine and placed them properly, and made a new cup of tea for the two. Qing Ruifan looked at the ten white and thin fingers like summer shallots, and was stunned. The Queen Mother watched this scene silently, and her face was peaceful.
"Yes, some time ago, Baiyue crossed the border of Han and Qin, and clashed with the border soldiers, and the matter was a bit big, Erchen remembered that Zhaonan had been to Baiyue, so he thought that he would go to see it, and he could also mediate one or two." Speaking of this, Qing Ruifan didn't intend to say it on the surface. This year's year is not good, the people's life is very poor, although Qing Ruifan said that he would be exempted from taxes for two years when he amnesty the world before, but now it seems to have no effect.
Last year, the incident in the north had already caused panic in the people, and now there is no need to raise the Baiyue dispute, which will only make the people's hearts more unstable. So he just mentioned it to Chu Zhaonan and asked him to prepare to set off on the same day, who knew that Qing Jingyao was simply and came over to find the Queen Mother without saying a word.
Since childhood, once Qing Ruifan does something that is not as good as Qing Jingyao's intentions, either Qing Jingyao will make the little stumbling block back by herself, or she will complain to the Queen Mother. Today's play should be when Qing Jingyao arrived at Yongyuan Palace, Qing Ruifan was in Fenglan Palace, she didn't find anyone, so she simply came directly to the Queen Mother's side.
"I see. This Yao'er and her concubine are deeply affectionate, and they are suddenly going to separate, so naturally they are going to make a fuss, and Emperor Ming'er should comfort her. The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly. It stands to reason that Qing Jingyao is already a big girl, who knew that she was so noisy when she came yesterday, but it made her pay a lot of attention.
Although she is not old, her energy is not as good as before, after sending Qing Jingyao away yesterday, she slept for half an hour in the afternoon, if it wasn't for Duanxia calling her, she would have forgotten dinner.
"This person, it's not okay to be dissatisfied. Alas, it doesn't matter if you are old, the mourning family can also go to the emperor a day earlier. Qing Ruifan heard that the Queen Mother's voice was obviously more vicissitudes and fragility. He couldn't bear it, so he held the hand of the Queen Mother and pinched it. He is the same in front of everyone and is not good at comforting others.
"Okay, there are a lot of things to see the emperor, this is everything, just pay more attention to yourself. That's all for now. "The Queen Mother is a little tired. With all that said, she wanted to take a break. Qing Ruifan also saw it obviously, answered softly, and then left.
On the other side, after Liu Guiren returned to his palace, he patted his chest with palpitations. There was a person standing in front of her, and it was Lixia.
"Liu Guiren is really amazing today." Lixia looked at this trembling woman, she still had a little bit of a look against the rouge gouache, and her heart was not bad, but she didn't know how long she would live. Lixia and Gu Lingge are still in a long time, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, let's take it step by step.
"Aunt Lixia praised it falsely, and the concubine just did what she had to do." Liu Guiren is also an understanding person. Although this queen said that her body was good and bad, but in the face of her monstrous power and the emperor's favor, it was easy to rectify a concubine. She still has something to ask the queen, so naturally she has to pay some price.
"I wonder if the mother can talk to the aunt, the concubine's father?" This Liu Guiren was first stuffed in by the waiter of the Criminal Department. When the Queen Mother said that she was going to draft a draft for Qing Ruifan, the waiter of the Criminal Department bought Duan Xia, and as a result, Duan Xia said that she was by the Queen Mother's side, and it was logical to enter the palace.
On the day they entered the palace, the Queen Mother said that when they entered the palace, they should eat according to their abilities, and they should discuss and do everything by themselves, and don't always trouble others. Liu Guiren knew that the Queen Mother was unreliable, and she also saw it thoroughly before entering the palace, and basically told her about every concubine. She weighed it herself and decided to follow the queen.
She and Gu Lingge will not have any intersection at all, but the waiter of the Criminal Department has committed something recently, although it is not big, but it is quite anxious. At this time, Liu Guiren found Lixia, and then things were taken for granted. Liu Guiren himself lives in the Chunlan Palace, but in the west chamber of the Chunlan Palace.
Gu Lingge didn't say what she wanted Liu Guiren to do, although the method she thought of herself was not very clever, but Gu Lingge accepted it. From this point of view, Liu Guiren already has the capital to talk to Gu Lingge about what he wants to do.
Li Xia looked at Liu Guiren's anxious expression, knowing that this person could be regarded as affectionate and righteous, so he also said Gu Lingge's decision. When Lixia left, Liu Guiren asked the palace maid to hand her a money bag. Lixia glanced at it, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Liu Guiren waited cautiously in his west chamber for a long time, and only after making sure that Yang Li'er would not come to her did he let someone serve a snack. Yang Li'er is not so stupid, she will think about revenge immediately, but it will be much more difficult for her to say anything in the future.
The Emperor's Mansion.
Chu Zhaonan looked at the emperor in front of him, her cheeks bulging like a toad, she didn't feel funny, gently pulled her cheeks, and then sat down and asked with a smile: "Are you still worried?" It's okay, I promise you. ”
The two of them have been in the church for so long, Chu Zhaonan can also see that Qing Jingyao really likes her, the more he gets along, the more he thinks this person is cute, and the more he wants to love her well, and sometimes he even complains that he was blind at that time, and he is bent on rejecting this lovely person.
"I don't, your promises never work." Qing Jingyao shook her head childishly, her voice was small, but her eyes were blazing when she looked at Chu Zhaonan. Chu Zhaonan asked a little surprised, "When is it useless?" ”
Qing Jingyao broke her fingers little by little and counted with him: "You promised me that you would tell me everything, but you didn't tell me where you were going when you went out many times; You also promised me that you would never leave me, even if you did, you would not leave the capital, and now you are actually going to Baiyue; You promised me you wouldn't pinch my face, and you did it again. And, there's ......."
Chu Zhaonan listened to her voice getting smaller and smaller, and his head went lower and lower, he sighed softly, and stretched out his long arm to encircle her in his arms. This woman always thinks a lot, and then she doesn't tell herself about her concerns, she holds it alone, Chu Zhaonan bets that she must have an account book in her heart, which is densely packed with her own faults.
"Yaoyao, listen to me. Sometimes I have some urgent things to deal with when I go out, and I don't have time to tell you; I promise that I will never leave you, but the emperor's order cannot be violated, the emperor trusts your man, you should be happy; As for whether or not to pinch your face, I've never promised. Chu Zhaonan closed his eyes and rested his head on Qing Jingyao's shoulder, saying a word would make Qing Jingyao tremble sensitively.
"Besides, even if I go out, I will definitely write to you. Your man is strong in martial arts, and he doesn't go alone, so he will be fine. Chu Zhaonan liked her very much, his right hand passed through Qing Jingyao's thin waist, took the person into his arms, and when she turned back curiously, a fine and dense kiss fell on her lips.
"Then you can bring Ten Nights with you." Qing Jingyao responded to him softly, and the warmth of her lips almost made her forget that the person in front of her was going to leave tomorrow. When the two of them finally ended, Qing Jingyao said this. Shihua stood at the door, expressionless, but Chu Zhaonan was shocked.
"Who is Ten Nights? I've never heard you say that. He felt that he knew Qing Jingyao well enough, who knew that this person would always bring him all kinds of surprises and surprises. When he went out before, no matter how difficult the task was, Gu Lingge would equip him with personnel and entourage, the feeling at that time and the feeling now, Chu Zhaonan couldn't say which was better, but it made people feel at ease.
"That's Shihua's younger brother, who used to buy into the mansion with Shihua. Shihua has been with me since I was a child, and Shiye went to learn art, and just came back a few days ago. Qing Jingyao's words were half-true. Ten nights did go to learn art, and it was true that he just came back some time ago, but the art he learned was different from the general skills, as for what was different, let Chu Zhaonan try it himself.
"It seems that my wife is really planning for a rainy day, and she has long known that she has to go out for her husband, and even has prepared manpower for me." Chu Zhaonan turned around and stole a fragrant kiss, then the corners of his mouth curled, and he looked at Qing Jingyao more and more satisfied.
Qing Jingyao held her head high, very useful. The two hugged each other and slept that night, as if they would wake up early tomorrow and still be by each other's side.
On the second day, Chu Zhaonan had already left the capital, and when he and Shiye fought together and walked to the dense forest on the outskirts of Beijing, Mu Yi brought someone to follow, looked at Chu Zhaonan, and made a salute with both hands in fists, but it made Shiye so vigilant that the sword on his waist was already out of the sheath.
Chu Zhaonan's eyes motioned for him to let down his guard, raised his eyes to look at Mu Yi, and waited for his next step.
