Chapter 34: Wang Jue Falls into the Water (2)
The news of Concubine Jue's entry into the water soon spread throughout the palace. Even the emperor who had just descended from the dynasty heard about it.
In the Liufang Palace, Qiu Yuanyuan, who had just returned from the unnamed lake, seemed to have been robbed of his soul, and was a little sluggish thinking about something.
The accompanying female officer who was brought from home next to her, Qin Yin gave a cup of ginseng tea with some concern, and asked, "Niangniang, were you frightened by Concubine Jue's falling into the water?"
Qiu Yuanyuan sobered up a lot in the call of the piano sound, took the tea, and said: "It's not that I'm scared, this scene, if it is placed on Wang Jue, is not unfamiliar." With that, he took a low sip.
Qin Yin beside him thought for a while, and seemed to have a few things about Wang Jue in his mind, and said, "Niangniang, you are talking about the previous incident." “
"Yes, didn't Wang Jue also push an official's daughter into his own pool?" Qiu Yuanyuan said with a smile: "This palace doesn't believe that this sister Jue will accidentally fall into the lake."
"However, today's scene is really thrilling, I originally thought it was the queen's mother, but I didn't expect it to be the princess who entered the water. Kotone recalls what happened in the pavilion.
"yes, is this a mistake? or?" Qiu Yuanyuan suddenly stopped.
"What is it?" asked Kotone, curious.
"Nothing. Qiu Yuanyuan shook his head, as if he was saying it to Qin Yin, and it seemed to be saying it to himself. Qiu Yuanyuan was deeply influenced by Lord Qiu, and knew that it was better to have more than one thing in order to survive in this harem.
Qiu Yuanyuan couldn't help but recall the smile that Yan Xu had left, a smile that made her whole body tremble.
It feels like there's a see-through mockery in that smile, and there's a threat.
Tai'an Temple
As soon as Long Xiang got out of the court, he heard the news from the harem, and naturally he should express his feelings.
Now, Long Xiang sat on the desk, looking at the folds delivered, Wang Xi appeared outside the door belatedly.
"Concubine Jue, it's okay. “
Wang Xi blessed his body and said truthfully: "It's nothing." The slave had already brought pearls and silk to visit Concubine Jue, and the imperial doctor also went, saying that he was only frightened and that it was fine. “
"Well, it's fine. By the way, did you tell me about the night?"
The slave conveyed the emperor's condolences, asking Concubine Jue to rest well tonight, and the emperor to rest in the Qiantian Palace, and then sleep tomorrow. “
"Hmm. Long Xiang nodded, praised Wang Xi's ability to do things, and continued to bow his head, looking at the fold in his hand.
"Emperor, minion, there is one more thing to tell. Wang Xi hesitated, not knowing whether he should say this.
Say. “
"The slave heard that just now, the witch envoy went to the cold palace and asked for someone. “
"Leng Gong, do you want someone?" Long Xiang put down the fold in his hand and asked with a frown, "Who?"
"This. “
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. “
"Yes, Han Dongjun's maid. Wang Xi replied with his head down.
"Han Dongjun. It was the one that Wang Cen put to death during the period of the first emperor?"
"Yes. Back then, the first emperor was gracious, but he just executed him, and before he died, he specially let the servants in the family leave, so the maids in his family left, and those who voluntarily stayed also entered the cold palace. “
"Anything else left behind voluntarily?" Long Xiang raised an eyebrow, his fingers turning the ring.
"That's it, this one. “
"What's her name?" asked Long Xiang.
"Zhichun. “
"It's a good name, but I don't know why the witch envoy asked for her. Long Xiang smiled slightly, if she liked it, then Long Xiang would naturally not object.
"By the way, is Wang Yi gone?" Long Xiang just lifted the fold, but remembered Wang Yi.
"I left Anyang City early this morning, I'm afraid it will take three days to arrive. Wang Xi said truthfully.
Thinking of Wang Yi and Fuzhou, Long Xiang unconsciously thought of what Yan Xu said to him yesterday.
Fuzhou is coming for itself. If you want to solve the matter of Fuzhou, you have to go there yourself. Long Xiang put down the fold again. Seeing Long Xiang's movements, Wang Xi also took back the next fold that he was about to hand over.
If you go there in person, it's not impossible, but if you don't let anyone know, it's a trouble, especially Wang Cen.
But what should be done in order to retreat as a matter of course and not be discussed by others as a matter of course? In the court, as long as Wang Cen believes it, others will naturally not dare to speak more.
What should I do then?Long Xiang involuntarily turned the jade wrench on his finger again.
In his eyes, an idea suddenly flashed, and he said to Wang Xi: "You send someone to Fangming Palace, tell Concubine Jue, and say that at night, the widow will sleep in Fangming Palace." “
"Yes. Wang Xi blessed his body, and retreated from the Tai'an Palace, he didn't ask why, he knew that the emperor must have a reason.
After the news reached Fangming Palace, it slowed down Wang Jue, who was losing his temper.
At the beginning, it was originally scheduled to be a servant tonight, but now because he fell into the water, the emperor actually canceled the bed, and the news spread out, and others must not laugh off their big teeth.
Wang Jue is reprimanding the palace maid who fell into the water with him, saying that he doesn't have long eyes, and now the emperor said that he will sleep in Fangming Palace at night, and this news makes Wang Jue a lot excited. It is more affirmative of the idea that the emperor must be won today.
Wang Jue forgot the palace maid who was still kneeling on the floor, walked quickly to the mirror, ignored the clothes that had just been changed on his body, decorated his hair in front of the mirror, and said to Yuchun beside him: "Yuchun, bring the spices that Wang Cen Lao brought to the palace." “
Yuchun nodded knowingly and walked away quickly.
Wang Jue in the mirror showed a ruthless look, as if he had secretly made some oath.
In the Tai'an Palace, the palace door was tightly closed, but in the palace, except for Long Xiang, there was suddenly one more person.
"Wuyu, that kind of medicine, is there anything else?"
"Yes, Emperor. “
"At night, you know what to do. “
"Yes, Your Majesty. “
In the palace
Wang Cen was sitting leisurely in the pavilion at home, feeding the fish in the pond. Today's leisurely life is a luxury that was expected in the past, so Wang Cen is now extra careful.
An entourage trotted to Wang Cen's side and whispered a few words.
Wang Cen nodded and said, "Tell Concubine Jue Niangniang, don't use too much, save the handle." By the way, Lord Ye, have you gone back?"
And when he returned, he departed from the palace that day, and went out of the city gate. The attendant said.
"Count the days, it's time to go to Fuzhou. Wang Yi left this morning?"
"Yes, early this morning, the gatekeeper came to report. “
"In the past two or three days, Lord Ye should also finish the time, I hope he can serve snacks to the old man's admonition. Don't keep running to Fuzhou. Alright, go down. Wang Cen threw a few more fish food into the pond.
Watching the fish scramble to snatch it, he sighed and said to himself: "Fish fight for food, birds die for food, why don't people, money, it's really a bad thing." “
