Chapter 409: Keep an Eye Out!
Afraid of being surprised by Dongfang Miao in his sleep, Baili Moxu put on his clothes and walked out lightly, Ah Lie looked around and lowered his voice, "Xiao Wu just let someone pass the news in." β
"Oh?" Baili Moxu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Prince Yu, who said that it was Xueman, lost his words after drinking the day before yesterday, saying that his father's great cause was about to be accomplished, and he must let the world know how powerful Xueman is. Ah Lie frowned, "Xiao Wu's subordinates didn't find anything unusual in Xue Man, they only knew that Changfeng Yu had been in the palace and been tinkering with Changfeng Ao for a while, and he didn't return to the prince's mansion until the night before yesterday, and he was in a good mood and drank a few glasses, so he said such things." β
"The great cause will be accomplished?, this father and son have not made any movement recently, could it be that they are hiding and plotting something?" Baili Moxu frowned, "This king focuses on Leng Kunyang and Leng Yuchen in this paragraph, but he ignores them a little. You wait and give Xiao Wu a reply, and let his people find out what Changfeng Ao's father and son have been busy with recently. The war is about to begin, and nothing must go wrong. β
"Yes, my lord. Ah Lie nodded, and then reported, "There is news from the Khmer that Leng Yuchen is ready to go to Liucheng. β
"Let our people follow up all the time. Baili Moxu pondered for a moment, "Be sure to ensure Su Yiming's safety." β
"Lord Nian has already returned to Yelan. After having dinner with King Shou and Princess Yumeng tonight, he returned to the Xuwang Mansion, and after saying goodbye to the princess in Meiyuan, he left in a flying beast. β
"It's time for him to go back, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and it will be useless to stay for a long time. Baili Moxu's expression was faint.
"By the way, Lord Wang, this is related to Leng Yuxin. Ah Lie said as he handed a ball of paper to Baili Moxu.
"Sure enough, it's time to start acting!" Baili Moxu unfolded it and sneered, "Leng Kunyang is really good at calculating, and he wants to give this king a trick." Sue sΓΉ Xiaowu, pretending not to know, and make arrangements after the king returns to the house. β
"Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates are going to send a message to Xiao Wu. "Ah Lie is ready to leave.
"You sue Xiao Wu, pay close attention to Zhuangzi's situation, no matter how big or small, report every day. As soon as he thought of the inexplicable uneasiness just now, Baili Moxu was a little worried, lest when he was not there, Murong Huan would have variables.
"Good!" said Ari, turning to leave.
Baili Moxu returned to the inner room, sat in front of Dongfang Miao's bed for a while, and gently looked at her completely scarred face, some red and tender skin was already quietly growing, I believe that it will not be long before this face will be restored. Thinking of how surprised his father, who had been kept in the dark so far, would be when he saw his mother's face in the future, a smile appeared on the corner of Baili Moxu's mouth, but there was expectation, mockery, and worry in that smile.
After all, he can't be filial piety by the side of the queen mother, and send her to the end, if this time the father is really guilty because of distress can have more feelings for the queen mother, and when the queen mother recovers her appearance, he will surprise him, maybe it will be very useful to consolidate the position of the queen mother in this harem.
Thinking that when Baili Mingjiang came to see Dongfang Miao today, he said that he was going to hold a banquet for her to celebrate her recovery and suppress her shock, Baili Moxu felt that it would be an excellent time, and when the time came, it would be just right to hit those who were about to move, so that they would know that this harem still respected the queen mother!
"Daddy, the hummingbird beast is here!" Nini interrupted Baili Moxu from her musings.
Baili Moxu got up and walked to the couch and sat down, Nini transformed into a snow-white kitten lying on his lap, and the hummingbird beast also turned into a worm and was held in Nini's paws.
"Daddy, it said that it found a very strange thing, there is a palace maid in the palace of Qi Guifei who does not invite Qi Guifei to see, and is often beaten and scolded by Qi Guifei for some trivial things, and everyone knows that Qi Guifei dislikes her. It's just that now that Concubine Qi is pregnant, she can't see blood in order for the heir in her womb to be born smoothly, so she kept the palace maid's life and didn't kill her. However, it is this little palace maid who can often go out of the palace, and she will go out once a month, saying that other palace maids get together to chat and talk about her, and they are very jealous of her. Are you weird?" Nini translated the words of the hummingbird beast.
"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Baili Moxu rubbed his eyebrows.
"Yes, Daddy, I also think it's strange, since Qi Meiren doesn't like her, how can she agree to her leaving the palace frequently? Nini was also surprised.
"Then does it know what this palace maid is doing when she leaves the palace?" Baili Moxu stared at the worm in Nini's paws.
It said that this matter was also mentioned when I heard those palace maids chatting in private today, saying that the palace maid seemed to have some relatives in the capital, and every time she left the palace, she found various excuses to go to her relatives' house. Nini pouted, "Who believes it!
"Then every time this palace maid comes back, will she be asked by Concubine Qi to talk secretly?" Baili Moxu continued to ask.
"No, but every time she returns to the palace, she will make Concubine Qi unhappy, and she will be scolded and beaten. The other palace maids also said that if they could also leave the palace once a month, it would not hurt to be beaten and scolded a few times. Nini shaved the little bugs with her paws.
"Presumably, the beating and scolding is fake, and the secret transmission of the message is true. Baili Moxu thought for a while, "Then you ask it, it has been in the palace of Concubine Qi for half a month, has this palace maid ever been out of the palace?"
It said no, so many things have happened in the palace during this time, and everyone must have regarded their own people as dead, lest something happen. β
"If this palace maid goes out of the palace once a month, she will definitely go out no matter what happens in the palace, because she has to bring in the instructions of the people outside. Baili Moxu stroked Nini's back, "That's it, you tell it to keep an eye on this palace maid from now on, and the next time she goes out of the palace, it must keep up, I want to know where she went, who she met, and what she said." Maybe the person behind Concubine Qi should also surface!"
"Daddy, it says it's okay!"
"Then let it go back!" Baili Moxu said, gesturing to the dim sum on the table, "Don't forget jì let it taste the dim sum!"
"Great!" Nini had barely finished speaking, the worms in her paws were gone, and the snacks on the table quickly disappeared. Mama Li was used to seeing it, so she only silently stood in front of Dongfang Miao's bed, and didn't care about anything else.
Baili Moxu went to the bath room to bathe, and when he came back, Mama Li had already changed into a small night pearl, he was only wearing a middle coat and lying on the couch, thinking of Murong Huan in his heart, and Nini chatted with his mind for a while, and then fell asleep.
Murong Huan didn't sleep well this night, I don't know if she chatted with Xiaoqin for a while before going to bed about the two Zhuangzi going to celebrate the New Year together, she actually dreamed of Mr. Jiu. In the dream, Mr. Nine's mother seemed to be dying, and Mr. Nine looked sad. Murong Huan just wanted to step forward to comfort her, but out of nowhere, several women surrounded her, and kept scolding her for being a [lake beaver spirit], scolding her for fascinating Mr. Nine. Murong Huan just wanted to defend herself, but Mr. Jiu's father also came out to scold her, and raised his hand to slap her, and Murong Huan woke up in shock.
Looking at Yourong who was sleeping beside him, Murong Huan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and smiled bitterly. This is exactly what I think about day and night, but I heard about a rotten peach blossom during the day, and I dreamed of him at night. I don't know if he's okay now, and what happened to his mother. Thinking of the eight words in that day's letter, Murong Huan's heart surged, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
Later, I don't know how to think of the person I don't want to think of the most, it's almost the New Year, he should go back to the palace, right? Is he warming up with his beloved Xin'er Red Silk Tent at this moment, and is he being with that gentle and lovely fish? Murong Huan's heart was sour.
He has been running away for more than a year, and he has never cared about his life or death except for the beginning. I heard that the stand-in in the mansion has always been kept, what is this going to do? Is it to find a suitable time to announce his death? Or is it to deceive Ye Lan's people, to deceive his brother, mother, and father, in order to maintain the alliance between Xilin and Ye Lan?
Every time he looked at Yourong's face beside him, which looked like that person, Murong Huan would have an indescribable feeling in his heart. Especially when he woke up in his sleep and saw this face, Murong Huan couldn't help but be in a daze. Yourong is really too similar to him, it is completely carved out of a mold, and sometimes Murong Huan will feel in a trance that it is not Yourong who is lying next to him, but him.
Forcibly suppressing the cranky thoughts in his heart, Murong Huan lowered his head and lightly imprinted his lip print on Yourong's forehead, closed his eyes and listened to his breathing, forcing himself to fall asleep again.
The next morning, the housekeeper came to ask for instructions, since the lady promised the two Zhuangzi to celebrate the New Year together, should they spend it here, or go to Liu's Zhuangzi?
Xiaoqin snorted coldly on the side, "Of course they are here, could it be that on such a cold day, let my sister walk so far with Yourong in her arms?"
"My sister was rude. Murong Huan raised his hand to interrupt Xiaoqin's words, and looked at the housekeeper lightly, "Since it was the Liu family who mentioned it, she must have ideas and arrangements in her heart." Speaking of which, my husband and I are also celebrating the New Year in the Zhuangzi for the first time, and we don't know much about the customs of the villagers, otherwise, let's spend it on the Liu family's side. If you sue Liu, this matter depends on her preparation, and I ask her to bother more. β
"Okay, madam, the old slave will let someone bring a message to the Liu family. The butler turned and walked out.
"Princess, everyone else has been bullied, and you still blindly tolerate it, aren't you just a widow?
"Silly Xiaoqin, you don't want to think about it, so many people celebrate the New Year together, how many things to prepare? Since she came up with this limelight, I will fulfill her!" Murong Huan smiled. R1154
