Chapter 7: Clouds of Suspicion
Chapter 7: Clouds of Suspicion
At three o'clock, Qinhan Palace.
"Ah...... Your Majesty, no, don't want it...... Minister... The concubine couldn't stand it. The sound of begging for mercy kept wafting out of the dormitory, gasping again and again, mixed with an indescribable pleasure.
At this time, the palace people who were keeping vigil outside the hall would consciously move a few steps into the distance, covering their mouths and stealing fun.
"I really don't want the concubine?" In the hall, with the jingling of the golden bells hanging on the bed tent, Emperor Xia Yu breathed heavily and said, "You little goblin...... Always...... Such duplicity. β
"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, the concubine is really ...... Really ......"
The aftermath gradually faded, and the night of Qinhan Palace slowly returned to its usual tranquility, but the breath of that room did not recede for a long time......
The sky was like ink, the cool breeze was a little, and the sparks jumped on the wick, splashing the bubbling of oil flowers.
After a while, a black shadow silently reflected the sand curtain, and a few steps away from Luan's couch, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty." β
The tent was opened, and Emperor Xia Yu walked out in his underwear, "What have they been doing recently?" β
Hearing the question, the black shadow bowed down again, "Back to my emperor, there is no abnormality in Nangong Qijue recently, and the daily itinerary is mostly back and ......forth between Xing Private Governor and Nangong Mansion."
The red candle was half burned, and Emperor Xia Yu groaned: "Well, I know, you continue to send people to keep an eye on it." β
"Your Majesty, there is another matter, and my subordinates don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Emperor Xia Yu swept his eyes, "When did you become spitting up, say!" β
"Yes, in recent times, the eldest prince and the concubine have ...... Frequent exchanges. The dark shadow stopped, and the words fell.
As a royal guard, he understands better than anyone else that the face of the Heavenly Family cannot be lost, even if it is just the possibility of touching the royal bottom line, it must be strangled in the bud, he understands this truth, Emperor Xia Yu, understands it even better.
"Alright, you can go down."
"Yes."
"The Emperor's ......" The chief manager who was dressing Emperor Xia Yu glanced at the black shadow that disappeared at the screen without a trace, and reminded: "Since General Xiaoyong will return to the house tomorrow, does the old slave need to summon him?" β
"Jimo Liyun?" Emperor Xia Yu rubbed his eyebrows, and said tiredly: "I want to pass on the will, but it is not the will to enter the palace, Fu Quan'er, you will go in person when you arrive." β
"Yes, the old slave obeys." Tying the belt for Emperor Xia Yu, Chang Fuquan glanced at the direction of the bed collapse, "Your Majesty, this Qin concubine is ......"
Hearing this, Emperor Xia Yu took a few steps over and lifted the gauze tent, looking at the Qin Concubine on the couch who still looked like a bone even if he passed out, he snorted coldly and said gloomily: "Let's keep it first, I really want to know, what can they do?" β
ββββββββββββ
"The general stays!"
As soon as he arrived outside the general's mansion, Xiao Huang saw two rows of palace people walking in unison, and there was a green sedan chair carried by six people in the middle of the queue.
thought that she was an acquaintance of the general and his wife again, but she was helped by Mama Lian to take a few steps back.
In confusion, Mo Liyun had already dismounted and greeted him.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the brave general is still so heroic and brilliant."
The sedan door slowly opened, and Chang Fuquan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Xia Yu, walked out with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Chang has an overreputation." Jimo Liyun waved his hand and said modestly: "The chief steward will wait for a while, Rong Ben will enter the mansion to change his clothes and then follow you into the palace to face the saint." β
"The general doesn't have to worry, the old slave has made a special trip to convey the emperor's will." Chang Fuquan opened the yellow shaft in his hand and said with a smile: "General, please accept the order." β
"Minister, take the order." When the words fell, Mo Liyun knelt down with his sleeves, and everyone followed.
"Feng, my emperor's holy edict, the brave general Jimo Liyun border garrison for ten years, hard work, after returning to Beijing, he was allowed to return to his home first, and he was summoned on a later day.
Now the special reward, 100,000 taels of gold, 500,000 taels of silver, 10 boxes of jade jewelry, 20 boxes of silk satin, and three stores in Kyoto...... Brave General, thank you. β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
After closing the holy decree and handing it over to Jimo Liyun, Chang Fuquan said again: "The emperor is benevolent, considering that the general's mansion has not been inhabited for ten years, he has specially given ten small maids and maids to take care of the general's mansion. β
"Where is it, the emperor's grace is Houze, and Weichen is grateful!"
"It's good that the general understands it, then I'll bother it another day, and I won't delay the general's entry into the mansion today."
After the politeness, Chang Fuquan turned around and ordered: "What are you doing here?!" Don't give the royal gift to General Xiaoyong to carry it in, hurry up! β
Oh, the master didn't enter the mansion but let the reward be intercepted halfway, and it was really the emperor's grace.
It is often said in the calendar that "a companion is like a tiger", and now it seems that this Emperor Xia Yu is one of the best, and it is really impossible to figure out whether he is playing "killing" or "giving a sweet date and then attaching a slap" means.
Xiao Huang stood behind the people, watching those palace people move big boxes into the general's mansion, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.
"I went around and around and finally came back to this place."
After many years, re-entering the General's Mansion, Lian Huaying couldn't help but sigh like this, once again in this familiar and unfamiliar mansion, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Seeing her thoughts, Mo Liyun said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately, after the eldest brother and the third brother learned the news that we were coming back, they had secretly sent someone to clean the mansion early, otherwise we would have to rest in the smoke and dust tonight." β
After a few days of running, everyone felt extremely tired, and it was almost a moment to pack all their luggage.
After sending Xiao Huang back to the room, as soon as Lian Huaying came back, she saw the people sitting in the hall, staring at the bright holy decree in her hand, and her brows were tightly locked.
She sighed softly and walked over, "Yikes! My husband seems to have turned ugly! β
The laughing voice sounded in his ears, and Mo Liyun put the holy decree aside and asked solemnly, "Is it?" So, does the lady dislike being a husband? β
Lian Huaying put his hands on the center of his eyebrows, pulled them gently, and said, "In this way, he will be as handsome as before." β
"Alas, Madame......"
"Husband, don't worry too much, our emperor, it has always been like this." Glancing at the holy decree on the table, Lian Huaying said with great sarcasm.
She turned sideways and took Jimo Liyun's hand and hugged it in her heart, "Besides, even if something really happens, will you and I still be afraid?" In any case, Ying'er will accompany her husband after all. β
Ying'er ...... If you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for! β
ββββββββββββββ
Inside the Imperial City, the Three Princes' Mansions.
"What?! Useless stuff! "The night was supposed to be a good night's sleep, but the sudden sound became more and more harsh.
"Calm down, Fourth Emperor Brother, let Zhen Fei finish his words." An indifferent voice interrupted the previous irritability.
Xia Zhenfei bowed his head and said: "Yes, back to the third prince, today because Chai Zuo Yushi and Sima Shizi arrived in time, so Qin Da had to ......"
After enduring his anger and listening to the guard's reply, Xia Yuyan finally got angry and said: "Qisheng Cliff has such a good opportunity, you can all let people go!" Do they all look like a bunch of pig brains?! And what Qin Zhizhong, he can't do this thing, what use do you want him?! β
Xia Jinfei knelt down in the hall, letting the anger of the Dao Dao burn in his head, Yan was unmoved, and when someone finished venting, the thoughtful voice sounded again.
"In this way, I can't blame him, that Chai Zige is not an easy character to deal with, by the way, I almost forgot about ......"
"Forgot?" Xia Yuyan looked at the middle of the room and asked, "What did the third brother forget?" β
"The relationship between Chai Zige, Sima Yi and Jimo Liyun seems to be unusual, I heard that they were once sworn brothers." Speaking of this, the corners of Xia Yutian's mouth raised an extremely strange arc.
There was interest in his eyes, and he said nonchalantly: "It's good to get together, someone should try the depth of the water in this imperial city." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Divide......... Cut......... Line............
Here, Xiao Huang walked around her boudoir alone, looking at where she was going to live.
In terms of feng shui, sit north and face south; Environmentally, the pavilions and water pavilions have quiet scenery, and it also has a very elegant name - Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
I have to say that she is still extremely satisfied with the layout of the room, but only this name, she doesn't have much good feelings, Xiaoxiang, incense? !
Wasn't the original "Jimo Xiaohuang" buried in the Qisheng Cliff in the best years......
Isn't that the word "incense jade"?
However, although Xiao Huang didn't like it, she didn't think about changing her name, she thought, it was just a place to sleep.
What's more, she has never believed in those evil things, even if she can live in this old time and space, she can't be described by the word "weird".
I just heard Lian Huaying say that this is also the house where "Jimo Xiaohuang" lived when he was a child, and the layout of the room is indeed in line with the woman's mind, which is enough to see that the general and his wife love their Xiao Er very much.
While thinking about it, he saw a round mirror standing on a dresser in the back room, Xiao Huang walked over, thinking that he had been in this world for several days, but he had not seen what his face looked like.
However, with the appearance of the general's wife, the genes should not be too bad.
Although she doesn't care too much about her appearance, who is willing to become a faceless girl after living with the face of an iceberg school girl for more than ten years?
Approaching the dresser, she picked up the mirror, which was a bronze mirror, and it was also ...... In this era, there was no such thing as the art of making glass mirrors.
But this did not prevent her from seeing the face in the bronze mirror, which was a standard goose egg face, with a little baby fat, still cute, with curved willow eyebrows, bright almond eyes, delicate and dripping water lips, and no makeup......
Sure enough, excellent genes will not disappoint, but this outstanding face did not make Xiao Huang feel pleased, but was stunned on the spot, unable to make a syllable in his throat.
Because this face in the mirror is clearly the face of her previous life! It's just that it's younger and more naΓ―ve, and the fair skin looks more supple and can be broken by blowing.
In a daze, Xiao Huang suddenly remembered the last scene in the tomb, she saw with her own eyes that her body slowly became transparent, and then disappeared......
Although it was only a thought, she did notice it, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly reached into her body with both hands, and indeed felt a small mole on the back of her neck and left waist.
Coincidence, right? It's a coincidence that the person who threw himself on the bed thought so, maybe this body was originally like this? It's not that the generals don't even know what their daughter looks like.
There are too many unknowns, and there is no conclusion if she wants to break her head, Xiao Huang simply doesn't go to the bottom of it, if she comes, she will be safe, anyway, she has never been a person who embarrass herself.
Moreover, for her, the best and only solution at present is to learn to accept the status quo and live well as the identity of "Jimo Xiaohuang......
