142: Dark Tide
The queen looked disdainful and disdainful.
Xuanyuan Qing shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "The sixth brother has always regarded the child as a brother, and the child can't ignore him!" After a few days, when he calms down, the child will go to his house to explain clearly. ”
The queen raised her eyebrows, her voice was low, and she said, "Can you explain clearly?" ”
Seeing Xuanyuan Qing shaking his head, the queen then said coldly: "Then don't worry about him, let him think about it!" ”
"Queen Mother...... Xuanyuan Qing looked slightly embarrassed, and looked at the queen, "No matter what, he is the younger brother of the child!" ”
The queen looked displeased and said, "The queen mother is tired and wants to rest." "Obviously, the queen doesn't want to talk to Xuanyuan Qing about King Li.
"Then the child will not disturb the queen mother." Xuanyuan Qing bowed his hand, bid farewell to the queen, and turned to leave. Looking at the back of Xuanyuan Qing walking out of the inner hall, the queen whispered to herself: "Qing'er, the queen mother is doing this for your good." Since ancient times, as a monarch, the most taboo emotional, you pay so much attention to brotherhood, so how should the queen mother be? ”
Due to the fact that King Li's injuries were not well and he was in a bad mood, Xuanyuan Qing did not go to his mansion to visit him for a few days, and Ling Wushuang had finished talking to the Fool King that day, so he summoned the Four Shadows to the room and told them to take good care of the Fool King no matter what, and never allow her to make any mistakes during her absence.
Seeing that the four shadows were serious, they nodded and assured that after Ling Wushuang and Yan disguised themselves at night, they took up light skills, their bodies flashed, and they both disappeared into the vast night.
As for the abolition of King Li's life, whether it was King Qi or Ling Wushuang's doing, King Huai and King Yu didn't know the bottom for a while. Judging from the news from King Li's mansion, King Qi did the right thing, but the relationship between King Qi and King Li was there, and he couldn't treat King Li like that.
If you think about it, you don't have a clue at all.
As for whether it was Ling Wushuang or not, the two of them were also uncertain in their hearts.
"Second brother, let's not think about the matter of the sixth, anyway, it has nothing to do with us!" King Yu frowned slightly, tapped his fingers twice on the table, and raised his eyes. He went to King Huai's Mansion today, but there was another thing to say, the matter of King Li gradually subsided, and the two of them pondered it again, there was no need, and the most important thing to discuss at the moment was to bring Ling Wushuang to their side as soon as possible, just because if it was delayed any longer, I was afraid that the position of the prince would be in the fourth pocket without any suspense.
"What the fifth brother said is right, the matter of the sixth brother has nothing to do with us, so don't want to." King Huai put his hands behind his back, faced out the window, looked at the rich night, took a breath, and said indifferently: "The sixth brother has something important to discuss with the second brother?" As he spoke, King Huai's figure turned and looked at King Yu.
King Yu nodded and said, "I haven't seen any movement from King Lu's Mansion recently, and I suspect that Ling Wushuang may not be in the mansion." After being rejected by Ling Wushuang in Juxian Restaurant, King Yu and his subordinates secretly paid attention to the movements of King Lu's mansion, and after a few days, all the reports they got were Ling Wushuang and Silly Wang, neither of whom had ever been out of the palace, and even the people in the mansion rarely walked around the streets.
It's a little weird.
King Huai's eyes flashed, he sat down on the chair, and said thoughtfully: "Do you want to do it in the near future?" King Yu nodded, leaned forward to King Huai, and said in a low voice: "If Ling Wushuang is really not in the mansion, then it is definitely the best time to secretly kidnap the Foolish King." When Ling Wushuang comes back and finds that the Fool King is missing, he will be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, hum! Seeing that she still doesn't obey and agrees to what we say. ”
"Well, you can just watch it! However, you must do it without revealing it, and beware of the fourth child interfering. ”
"Second brother, rest assured." Speaking of this, the corners of King Yu's mouth hooked, and he mocked: "The fourth child will be troubled by the matter of the sixth child, but he has no extra thoughts and takes care of other things." "Speaking of which, the matter of King Li has indeed added some benefits to King Huai's struggle for the position of prince.
There are many rumors in the market, saying that King Qi is too cold-blooded, and for some reason, he gave birth to a ruthless hand and abolished the root of King Li's life, and he is really not worthy of being a candidate for the prince. Although these rumors have not spread on the bright side, the reputation of King Qi has been greatly discounted in the minds of the people of Xuanyuan.
What he will do is to have a good relationship with King Li, so that the rumors that are unfavorable to him outside will be self-defeating.
Taking advantage of the darkening night, Xuanyuan Qing walked alone to the Li Palace.
"Lord Qi is here." The housekeeper opened the door, saw Xuanyuan Qing, and bowed down. What others say, even what the prince of his family says, the housekeeper of the Li Wangfu always believes that King Qi is innocent. After all, he personally went to the Qi Wangfu to ask for his help, looking for his own prince, and he still remembered the situation that night, the King of Qi hurriedly, rushing from the backyard to the front yard, with an eagerness on his face, which did not seem to be a fake.
Xuanyuan Qing's eyes were dim, and he bowed his head and said, "Have you rested for your lord?" ”
The housekeeper said: "Back to the prince of Qi, the master is him, he hasn't yet!" Xuanyuan Qing saw the unpleasant expression on the butler's face, and behind his back, he said in a low voice: "I'll go to his courtyard to have a look, you don't have to wait." ”
"Yes." The butler bowed in response.
"Sixth brother, haven't you figured it out until now, isn't it the fourth brother who hurt you?" Xuanyuan Qing walked into the dormitory where Xuanyuan lived, stood at the door, and muttered silently.
"Who? Who's out there? No one has seen this king, do you hear me? Get lost! Get out of the way for this king! Xuanyuan Li was lying on the bed, and when he heard the movement outside the house, his emotions instantly became extremely excited. Now she, even the woman in his backyard, the eyes when she looked at him, were also hypocritical.
said that no matter what the prince became, he would not leave him, but in the past few days, those hateful women, taking advantage of the housekeeper's inattention, carried their burdens and fled from the back door of the palace as if they were a waste person. It was his princess, who went to his house during the day to serve, one on the face, and another when she turned around.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Li's hatred for King Qi in his heart expanded infinitely. Everything he endured today was all given to him by his good fourth brother, how could he not be cold, how could he not hate?
After a few days of recuperation, although Xuanyuan Li's body is not as painful as before, it is still very difficult to sit up. He swore in his heart that when he could sit up, he would torture those women who betrayed him to death one by one, and he would go to the Qi Palace, and ask his good fourth brother, why didn't he save him that night, why did he be cruel to him and ruin his life?
But when Xuanyuan Qing's voice sounded outside the door, what would happen to Xuanyuan Li himself?
After a long time, Xuanyuan stretched his eyebrows, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said, "Sixth brother, fourth brother has come to see you." There was a deep voice of concern, which was heard in Xuanyuan Li's ears at this moment, and it shook him like thunder. Did you come to see him dead? Xuanyuan Li stabilized his emotions and sneered: "This king doesn't know His Royal Highness the Venerable King of Qi, so please ask His Royal Highness the King of Qi to come and go!" ”
"Sixth brother!" Xuanyuan Qing pushed open the door by himself and walked into the room, the pain in his eyes was very obvious, "Sixth brother, it's really not the fourth brother who caused you to come here!" Heavy words, Xuanyuan Qing said word by word, a little in a low voice, from the bottom to the big, he has never done this to people. But now, he did it, not only did it, but he begged Xuanyuan Li to believe that it was not he who made him a waste.
"You go! Go away! Xuanyuan Li looked at Xuanyuan Qing, shouted hoarsely, the whole body trembled uncontrollably, and moved slowly to the inside of the bed with clumsy movements, "Devil, you are the devil!" You're not my fourth brother, no! You're not! I don't want to see you, don't ......" Tears of humiliation ran down the corners of Xuanyuan's eyes to his slightly pale face, he was frightened, frightened Xuanyuanqing, afraid that he would hurt him again.
He forgot, forgot that just now when he was still thinking that he could sit up, he went to the Qi Palace's mansion to ask Xuanyuan Qing why he wanted to harm him!
"Sixth brother, I'm the fourth brother! How can you speak to the fourth brother like that? Xuanyuan Qing strode to the bed, stretched out his hands, pressed Xuanyuan Li's shoulders, and said very sadly: "What is the temperament of the fourth brother, don't you know? How to treat others, the fourth brother dare not say, but to you, the fourth brother has never had the intention of harming! What's more, what's more, it's so cruel! ”
Xuanyuan Qing said, his eyes moved to Xuanyuan's crotch and knees in grief.
"Let's go! Do you think you're not bad enough for me? Do you want me to lift the quilt so that you can see clearly, and then give me a hard blow? Xuanyuan ignored the grief in Xuanyuan's eyes, he screamed like crazy, "I hate you!" I hate you! Hate you for ruining me, hate what you've done to me! ”
"Fourth brother really hasn't done it, it's really ......" Seeing Xuanyuan Li's emotion, Xuanyuan Qing removed his hands from his shoulders, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his words, "Fourth brother dares to swear to the sky, he has never done anything to hurt you, you believe it or not!" Since you don't want to see the fourth brother, the fourth brother will leave, this will leave. Standing up, Xuanyuan Qing staggered out of Xuanyuan Li's room, standing in the courtyard, he looked up at the deep and lonely night, and muttered, "Why? Why did things turn out like this? ”
"Haha......"
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Li's wild laughter with a crying voice came from inside the house, sounding like a ghostly howl, which made people feel creepy.
Xuanyuan Qing's heart trembled slightly, turned to Xuanyuan Li's candlelit window to look over, his voice was sad, and he said quite weakly: "Sixth brother, rest early!" The fourth brother has returned home. ”
For Ling Wushuang, not only King Yu was very concerned about her whereabouts, but also the queen in the palace.
Through her own channels, she learned the news that Ling Wushuang might not be in the mansion in the near future, and the queen took advantage of Emperor Yongjia to deal with the excerpts in the imperial study overnight tonight, and if she didn't come to sleep in the Jiaofang Palace, she would lie on the soft couch alone, and carefully think about what method to use, so as to remove the mask on the face of the foolish king and find out.
After the incident on the polo field, Ling Wushuang no longer let the Fool King go to the palace to study with the Taifu, so if the queen wanted to take off the mask of the Fool King, the first thing she had to do was to summon the Fool King into the palace before she could act.
"Dumb aunt, why don't you say that King Lu has not been close to this palace recently?" The queen half-squinted and asked the dumb aunt. The dumb aunt stopped beating her legs for the queen, "babbling and babbling......" means that she doesn't know, the queen raised her hand to stop the movement in the dumb aunt's hands, opened her eyes, got up and sat upright, and continued: "According to the palace, King Lu is no longer close to the palace, and he has an inseparable relationship with his princess. Hum! What is a good child, what is it like to be instigated by a demon, when the palace has been well conditioned in the past two days, he must pass on King Lu to enter the palace and teach him well, lest he be instigated by Ling Wushuang's demon to deny the queen mother of the palace! ”
"Babbling ......"
The queen glanced at the dumb aunt, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said with a light smile: "What do you want to say to this palace?" The dumb aunt shook her head for a while, waved her hand for a while, her eyes showed a faint panic, the smile on the corner of the queen's mouth increased, and then said: "Are you afraid that this palace will hurt him, yes or no?" ”
The dumb aunt shook her head, the queen's face changed, and she said coldly: "How does this palace think that you have been a little distracted recently?" Do you miss your master? ”
"Babbling......" The dumb aunt shook her head again, with an unconcealed panic in her eyes, "Are you afraid?" Afraid that the palace will remove their mothers and sons one by one? The dumb aunt lowered her head, her shoulders trembled, and she did not answer the queen's question, and the queen said: "This palace can allow their mother and son to live for so many years, which is worthy of them!" If the doubts in the heart of this palace are verified to be true, this palace will no longer raise carbuncles! ”
The queen thinks of this now, will it be too late?
The words in her ears made the dumb aunt's hands hanging down at her side clenched in her sleeves, and her eyes were extremely full of resentment towards the queen.
She hates the queen, hates the queen's scheming, femme fatale. Everything the queen has today should be what her master should have, but the world is unpredictable, the whereabouts of the master are unknown, and the little master was harmed by the queen and became an idiot, and all this, the emperor who loves the master deeply, did not find anything wrong at all.
The hatred for the queen in the dumb aunt's heart instantly shifted to Emperor Yongjia, the wise and wise lord of a country, and he couldn't even tell who the woman he loved deeply was, so his so-called love for his master was a little too superficial? "You hate Hongu!" The queen raised her eyebrows, without a hint of questioning.
"Babbling......" The dumb aunt was so shocked by the queen's words that she hurriedly turned around, shook her head and let out a series of hoarse notes.
"If you want to hate, you can hate, this palace doesn't care at all."
The queen said lightly, lay back on the couch, her voice was very low, and she said word by word: "Everything that this palace has today is carefully arranged by this palace itself, no one wants to take away everything that this palace has, let alone take away the position of the prince who is about to be handed over by this palace!" ”
In Jizhou, when the sky was dark, Ling Wushuang rode a horse with Yan into this prosperous Lido with the four seasons like spring. At this moment, she didn't know that there were two dark tides in Xuanyuan Capital City, which were gradually attacking her stupid big man, if she knew, what choice should she make? Will you set off overnight to rush back to Xuanyuan, or will you continue to march towards Four Seasons Mountain? For her, the answer, of course, is the latter.
Four Seasons Mountain is in the territory of Daqi, and it won't run away with long legs, and the life of the foolish king is only once, if the people are gone, how can we talk about resolving the poison of the ice spirit?
"Childe, shall we rest in this city for the night tonight?" From the capital to the capital of Daqi, it takes seven days for ordinary people to arrive on fast horses, but the two of them arrived here in less than four days.
Yan understood in his heart, he understood that Ling Wushuang was afraid that he would not be able to return to the capital on the night of the full moon, so he would rush day and night.
When you are hungry, you can eat dry food to satisfy your hunger; When he was thirsty, he directly dismounted and took a handful of stream water to quench his thirst, and all kinds of things along the way made him impressed by Ling Wushuang's perseverance from the bottom of his heart.
As a man, along the way, his physical strength is gradually unable to support it, let alone for a daughter's family? Therefore, he jumped off his horse and looked at Ling Wushuang and suggested.
Ling Wushuang frowned slightly, and said, "How many days does it take to get from Jizhou to Four Seasons Mountain?" "She has to estimate the time, and she definitely has to rush back to the capital on the night of the full moon, just because of the pain of eroding bones, she doesn't want to let the stupid big man bear it anymore.
"If it's fast, you can get to the foot of the Four Seasons Mountain in three days." ”
After thinking for a moment, Ling Wushuang dismounted and said, "Find a nearby inn to rest for the night, and tomorrow morning, we will set off for Four Seasons Mountain." ”
"Yes."
Bow your hand.
When he went out, for the convenience of walking, Ling Wushuang dressed up as a man, and as a result, he changed his name.
The night is getting thicker, there are not many pedestrians on the street, Ling Wushuang and Yan led the horse to stop at the door of a "Fulai" inn, the innkeeper followed the open door, looked at Ling Wushuang and Yan's clothes, and went out to greet each other very warmly, and instructed the men to lead the horses that Ling Wushuang and Yan were riding to the stable to feed more forage.
The man was a discerning man, and when he heard his shopkeeper say this, he nodded his head in response, took the reins from Ling Wushuang and Yan with a smile on his face, turned around and led the horse away. "Two objective inside, please!" The innkeeper smiled all over his face, and made a gesture of invitation to Ling Wushuang and Yan.
Ling Wushuang bowed his head and took the lead in stepping into the inn. Yan followed closely, gave a few words of advice to the innkeeper, and went up to the second floor with Ling Wushuang under the guidance of another fellow.
Freshened up, Ling Wushuang sat at the table, took a few mouthfuls of food, got up and stood in front of the window, his eyes looked at the dark night like ink, and his whole mind drifted back to King Lu's mansion unconsciously. Without her by your side, I don't know how the stupid big guy is doing? Did the Four Shadows follow her instructions and take good care of the stupid big one? Also, she and the white guards are not in the mansion, who will accompany him to the grove to play Feifei?
"Wait, I'll be back in the house soon, and from now on, I won't leave you alone!" Ling Wushuang retracted his gaze, closed the window casually, lowered his eyes and whispered.
Before dawn the next day, several main streets in Jizhou City were crowded with people.
The noise was endless, Ling Wushuang opened his eyes, looked out of the window through the curtain, his eyebrows furrowed together, and said in his heart: Today won't be any special day for Daqi, right?
Got up and dressed neatly, pushed open the window, and took advantage of the lights hanging on the doors of the shops on the street, Ling Wushuang looked at the street, and was immediately dumbfounded, so many people gathered on the street, could it be that this day is really unusual for Daqi? "Master, are you awake?"
"Hmm." Hearing the sound of mourning sounding outside the door, Ling Wushuang closed the window and walked towards the door as he responded, "Why are there so many people on the street today?" As soon as the door opened, Ling Wushuang's voice sounded in his ears.
Yan said: "Back to the master, this is the day when Emperor Qinglan of Great Qi parades in Beijing once a year. ”
"Oh, that's right!" Ling Wushuang nodded and said with a light smile, "Come in and talk." ”
"Yes."
"Sit." Ling Wushuang sat down at the table, raised his hand to signal Yan to sit down, and his index finger flicked lightly on the table, and said, "This Great Qi Qinglan Emperor really has a set of governance. Ling Wushuang would say this, and it was inseparable from what she saw and heard all the way into the territory of Daqi.
During the reign of Emperor Qinglan, with his wise and wise mind, knowing people and being good at his duties, benevolent and thrifty, serious law and discipline, internal affairs and cultivation, and making great efforts to govern the country and the people of Daqi, compared with the achievements of his ancestors to establish Daqi, it is simply a world of difference. For this reason, the people loved him deeply, and since the day he succeeded to the throne, an unwritten rule was made, that is, no matter how busy the emperor was, he also had to go out of the palace and have face-to-face contact with the people once a year on a specific day.
It is necessary to understand the people's feelings and feelings, so that problems can be discovered and solved in a timely manner.
Ling Wushuang admired this Qinglan Emperor from the bottom of his heart, but when he thought of her mother's death, which master of the Great Qi royal family was responsible for, suddenly, the extreme goodwill for Emperor Qinglan in his heart disappeared a lot.
"Thank you, master." Yan bowed his hand and thanked Ling Wushuang, lifted his robe and sat down opposite Ling Wushuang, and said, "Master, according to the current situation, I'm afraid we will have to wait before we can leave." ”
"No problem." Ling Wushuang said indifferently.
"Guest officer, is your meal in the lobby on the first floor, or will it be delivered to you in the house?" The innkeeper stood outside the door and asked politely.
Ling Wushuang got up, opened the door, and said, "Send it to the room." ”
"Yes, guest officer." The innkeeper bowed in response and turned to leave. "Master, why don't I go downstairs to eat." Yan picked up the sword on the table and stood up.
"Let's eat together."
Ling Wushuang smiled and signaled that they didn't need to see outside, when they were in the palace, they didn't sit at a table to eat, and when they went out, it was already convenient, if they counted some inconsequential etiquette, wouldn't it make people feel tired and panicked.
"Oh." He nodded, put the sword back on the table, and sat down in the chair again.
The meal was quickly brought into the room by the guys, Ling Wushuang used some casually, and heard the people on the street shouting wildly, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live...... "Long live the emperor" got up and walked to the window, pushed open the closed window, and looked at the royal chariot who was about to walk to the door of the inn.
The middle-aged man sitting in the imperial chariot was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his eyes were clear, and his appearance was handsome and extraordinary.
At a glance, it is not difficult to see that he was definitely a beautiful man when he was young, and with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, he waved hello to the people on both sides of the street.
In fact, the moment Ling Wushuang pushed open the window, Emperor Qinglan's gaze inadvertently swept towards the open window.
He only felt that the handsome young man standing in front of the window was familiar, but when he thought about it, he had no impression at all. Yu Wenming Jun rode a horse and followed the side of Emperor Qinglan's imperial chariot, caught Emperor Qinglan's sight, and looked towards Ling Wushuang's window, so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
