Chapter 125: Envoy to Suyang
Chongde Hall.
The Emperor sat behind the bookcase and was flipping through the stacks of recitals on the table, sneering from time to time. The eunuchs and palace maids waiting next to them all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound. Suddenly, the emperor raised his hand and swept all the folds on the table to the ground, "Lichu Lichu!" All the excerpts are forcing me to establish a reserve! In the end, I am the emperor or they are the emperor! This was followed by a string of coughs.
A room full of eunuchs and palace maids all bowed their heads to the ground when the emperor was angry.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Shichang hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the emperor's back, and at the same time glanced at the palace maid and eunuch in the house, "Didn't the master say that you want to calm down and don't get angry." ”
The room full of eunuchs and maids retreated.
Looking at the folds on the ground, his brows became more and more furrowed, "How can I not be angry!" How long has the prince been gone, he ...... He can't wait to get on the throne like this! Ahem...... Ahem...... "The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Shichang hurriedly got up and poured a cup of tea for the emperor.
After drinking tea, the emperor gradually eased up.
"The establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, and Your Majesty naturally has to consider it carefully, and these adults are inevitably too anxious."
"It's those adults who are anxious, and it's the people behind them who are really anxious." The emperor looked at his eyes, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Shichang raised his eyes and cautiously looked at the emperor behind the bookcase and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it shouldn't be...... Who in this world doesn't know that the most distressed thing for you is His Royal Highness King Yan! ”
The emperor sneered a few times, and swept his eyes towards Zhang Shichang with a slanted look, "I'm afraid that you are the only one who thinks so now." ”
The smile on the corner of Zhang Shichang's mouth froze, "Your Majesty, ......what do you mean by this?"
The emperor coldly hooked the corners of his lips and did not speak.
How could that child, who was such a clever person, not be aware of his thoughts? This time, the prince died violently, and he originally suspected that he had done something in it, otherwise as soon as the prince died, how could he be so eager to unite with other ministers to force him to become a prince.
"Your Majesty......" After not seeing the emperor speak for a long time, Zhang Shichang couldn't help but shout softly.
The emperor got up, took out a book that had been on the desk for a long time from the stack of folds next to the desk, and a hint of an unfathomable smile crossed the corner of his lips, "This fold says that the disaster in Suyang is serious, and I think it's time to send someone to take a look." ”
"It seems that Your Majesty has already chosen someone in his heart." Zhang Shichang looked at the emperor with a smile on his face and said.
The emperor glanced at Zhang Shichang with slanted eyes, "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't want King Yan to enter the palace." ”
"Yes, the minion obeys." Zhang Shichang smiled and saluted, and bent down to withdraw.
"Wait." But the Emperor opened his mouth to call him.
Zhang Shichang raised his head to look at the emperor.
The emperor smiled, "Go and call Concubine Yan over too." ”
Now that we've come this far, there's nothing to worry about.
"The minions obey." Zhang Shichang bowed his head and slowly retreated.
In the wide hall, the supreme of the world in a dragon robe gradually curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
The next day, under the holy decree, Ren Yan Wang Chu Xizhi supervised the imperial history, and three days later went to Suyang to inspect the disaster.
Although Xiao Xiwei knew that the emperor was going to send Chu Xizhi to Suyang sooner or later, it was just that the holy decree was issued so quickly this time, which must indicate that the emperor was already suspicious of him.
"I don't understand why you want those people to join forces and ask you to be crowned prince? You should know that you are in the limelight now, isn't this move forcing the emperor to suppress you! You are not afraid of this trip to Suyang...... "The more Xiao Xiwei thought about it, the more worried he became, so he simply threw the clothes he was sorting out on the bed, turned his face and looked at Chu Xidao with his eyebrows twisted.
"Wouldn't my father have suppressed me without this?" Chu Xizhi asked with a smile.
Xiao Xiwei was dumbfounded for a while.
The current emperor of their Dayue Kingdom is the most suspicious and suspicious, and once the crown prince dies, no matter how low-key Chu Xizhi tries to restrain his suspicions, he will not be a little less.
"But you shouldn't ...... No, I'm going to Suyang with you. Xiao Xi said with a slightly sinking face.
Chu Xizhi put down the teacup in his hand, reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and stole a kiss on her snow-white cheek, "Good, stay at home and wait for me to come back." ”
"Cherish the ......"
"Wei'er, I know what you're worried about. But you must know that as long as you are well, no matter what awaits me in front of me, I will come back safely, because I know that you are waiting for me to come back at home. ”
"But I ......"
"After I leave, remember to go to see my mother for me."
Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Xiwei's fingertips and said.
Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Xizhi, for a long time, she didn't say anything, just buried her head deep in Chu Xizhi's chest.
Three days later, Chu Xizhi set off for Suyang.
Xiao Xiwei and Chu Mu sent him out of the city together.
"Brother Huang, it's a long way to Suyang, take care all the way." Chu Muzhi raised his hand and saluted Chu Xi.
Chu Xizhi nodded, "Mu Zhi, I'm not in the capital, and I ask you to take care of your imperial sister-in-law for me." ”
"This is natural, don't worry, Brother Huang."
After explaining to Chu Muzhi, Chu Xizhi walked in front of Chu Xizhi, he stretched out his hand and smiled and stroked the green silk hanging from Xiao Xiwei's ear behind his ear, and his warm fingertips swept across her snow-white cheeks, causing a string of tears to fall. Chu Xizhi's heart was sour, and as soon as he raised his hand, he took Xiao Xiwei into his arms, "Wei'er, don't be afraid, I will give you a safe and worry-free future." ”
"Cherish the ......"
Chu Xizhi kissed Xiao Xiwei's ear with his side eyes, and then his low voice sounded in Xiao Xiwei's ears, "The rockery in front of Mu Weixuan, the secret road." ”
Xiao Xi's eyes quickly flashed a trace of surprise, and when she reacted, Chu Xizhi had already helped her up from his arms, he smiled and untied a jade pendant from his body and tied the jade pendant to Xiao Xiwei's waist with his own hands, "From today on, it will take me to stay by Madame's side and accompany Madame." ”
Xiao Xiwei looked at the jade pendant hanging in front of his waist, and the tears that had just stopped couldn't help but fall again.
"Lord, it's not early, it's time to go." An attendant stepped forward and whispered.
"It's a pity." Xiao Xiwei hurriedly grabbed the corner of Chu Xizhi's sleeve.
Since she relived her life, she has already trained that heart to be as cold as iron, but now that she sees that he is going to Suyang, the reluctance and sourness in her chest can't be suppressed.
Chu Xizhi even raised his hand to grab Xiao Xiwei's hand and put it on his chest, "Wei'er, listen, it's beating for you." ”
The steady and vigorous beating passed through her palms to her chest.
Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, the man in front of him had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the shuttle horns on his face were distinct, every stroke was carefully carved by the heavens, and a brocade robe with dark brocade embroidered auspicious patterns made him calm and introverted, and the whole person was like a god. This man is her husband, the one she will spend her life with.
You listen, it's beating for you.
This is the most beautiful love story she has ever heard in her two lives.
Many years later, Xiao Xiwei often recalled this scene, the cold and resolute man stared at her affectionately, the waves in his eyes were like the most mellow and sweet wine in the world, drowning her deeply, and since then, she never wants to wake up again.
Finally, Chu Xizhi's carriage gradually moved away.
Chu Muzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei still reluctantly standing in place and looking at the direction of Chu Xizhi's departure, inexplicably he suddenly sounded the girl who pushed the door and broke in with a red face, inexplicably, a trace of bitterness that even he didn't know from the bottom of his heart welled up.
"Sister-in-law, this day is poisonous, don't stand for a long time, my brother should send you home." Chu Muzhi took a deep breath, pressed down the bitterness in his chest, and turned his face to look at Xiao Xi and said.
Xiao Xi nodded slightly.
Ziyan hurriedly came over to help Xiao Xiwei, over there, Biyun had already lifted the curtain, and when Xiao Xiwei was about to get into the carriage, a little guy rode a horse and ran towards her. Xiao Xiwei only glanced at him and recognized him as an attendant named Agui in the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion.
As soon as Ah Gui arrived, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of Xiao Xiwei, "Princess." ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xi's expression froze.
It's a pity that the feet only left before, could it be that something happened to the Houfu?
"No, it's Aunt Zhou...... Aunt Zhou, she's going to have a difficult birth......"
"Difficult birth?" Xiao Xi was slightly taken aback.
Since she married Chu Xi, she has rarely returned to Houfu, but she also knows that Aunt Zhou attaches great importance to the child in her belly, and she asks the doctor to enter the house every once in a while to check the pulse, and the fetal position has always been very accurate.
"Princess, the old lady is already in a hurry, and now the house is in chaos, princess, you better go back and take a look." Agui said eloquently.
"Ziyan, Biyun, let's go, let's go back to Houfu." Xiao Xi turned around slightly and was about to get into the carriage, but she turned her face and stared at Ah Gui as if she suddenly remembered something, "Who asked you to invite me?" ”
Even if Aunt Zhou really had a difficult birth, and the situation was critical, and there was chaos in the house, if it was the old lady or her father who came to invite her, it must be to let her come forward to the palace to find a doctor or an old lady with rich experience in delivering babies, how could she not say a word and just let her go home?
Ah Gui hurriedly lowered his head, rubbing his clothes unconsciously with both hands, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Imperial sister-in-law, isn't he from Houfu?" Chu Muzhi stepped in front of Xiao Xiwei, his expression was pale, and he raised his hand and summoned the accompanying guards to surround Agui.
"No, no, no, the little one is indeed the one from Houfu." Ah Gui waved his hand again and again, and he couldn't care about the master's explanation at the moment, and hurriedly confessed everything he knew, "It's Aunt Zhou's side Zhu'er, she gave the slave twenty taels of silver for the slave to come and inform the princess." ”
"Get up." Xiao Xi waved his hand slightly.
"Sister-in-law, this ...... Which one are you singing? Chu Muzhi whispered in Xiao Xiwei's ear.
Xiao Xi smiled, "I also asked the prince to go to the palace to invite Master Du to the Houfu for me." ”
"Doom?" Chu Muzhi frowned, although he didn't understand what the concubine of the Zhongyong Mansion had to do with the birth of a child and the doom in the palace, he still raised his hand and waved it at Xiao Xi, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go to the palace now." ”
After Chu Muzhi left, Xiao Xiwei helped Ziyan's hand into the carriage.
"Niangniang, what did Aunt Zhou call you to do when she gave birth to a child?" Ziyan frowned.
Xiao Xi smiled, "Since it's to give birth to a child, it's natural to call me over for her child." ”
Zhou Shumei just wanted to take this opportunity to take the position.
