Chapter 10: Jade Promises
"General Yue, despite this, I still have to say sorry to you." Shen Congning leaned over and bowed upright again.
The Vietnamese soldiers raised their eyebrows lightly and shook their heads, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the important things at the moment." Avoiding him, the Viet Cong army walked over to the table and lit a white candle.
Regarding the matter of Yue Feng, he really didn't want to mention it. If he really wants to blame Shen Congning, then he will blame him on the day Yue Feng jumped into the river.
After the room was bright, Shen Congning sat opposite the Vietnam Army, looking at the extremely cold face of the Vietnam Army, he did not take the initiative to speak.
Shen Congning's timid appearance let the Yue Zhanjun know that he was still afraid of Yue Feng's affairs, so he put away his sharp expression and said softly: "On the second day of Ling Qianjin jumping into the river, except for Sister Dao and a few guards, the rest of us fell asleep during the meal, didn't General Shen notice that there was something strange here?" ”
"General Yue means that someone has tampered with our food?" Shen Congning was startled, and his heart was stunned.
It's the first time he's been here for so long, and it's the first time he's encountered something like this.
The Vietnamese army did not answer, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, gently unfolded it, and handed it to Shen Congjun.
"My spies sent me a message saying that on the second day of Ling Qianjin's jumping into the river, Wei Wuchen led tens of thousands of soldiers to attack the border of Lingdu. But somehow it stopped again, so we had to not only find out who was drugged, but also strengthen our vigilance and strengthen our troops. ”
After listening to the words of the Vietnam Army, Shen Congning's pupils shrank suddenly, and at the same time read the contents of the letter carefully.
After thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "The place of the troops will be effective in the next meeting, let Erdao send more people over, and the matter of poisoning will need to be more bothered by General Yue." ”
"Hmm." The Vietnamese soldiers nodded blankly, and their thoughts had already drifted into the distance.
He looked at the cloth boots under his feet and unconsciously remembered Yue Feng. He is so ruthless to Yue Feng, is it right or wrong, if Chen Mei has a spirit in the sky, will he blame him!
After a few more days, Yue Feng's body has healed under careful recuperation.
"Miss Yue, the bone broth is ready, get up and drink some." The palace maid Qingdong stepped forward with the bone broth and whispered.
This girl's temper is unpredictable, so it's better to be careful.
Looking at the things in Qing Dong's hands, Yue Feng's face was a little irritable.
It's been so long since she came here, she can't see her life-saving benefactor, they even locked her in this room for dozens of days on the grounds that she was injured.
Qing Dong, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of looks in the palace, naturally knew what Yue Feng's eyes represented.
She put down the things in her hand, walked over to help Yue Feng who got up, and said softly: "Miss Yue can go out and walk around more from today onwards." ”
"Am I free to move around?" Yue Feng raised his eyes, his eyes suddenly brightened, and deep in his heart it seemed as if something had suddenly exploded, like a short firework, brilliant and bright.
It's so good, it's so good that she can finally get out of this room.
Her reaction made Qing Dong couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, but when she thought of something else, she immediately closed her mouth, "Miss Yue, there is one more thing I have to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" With the clothes on his body, Yue Feng didn't notice the ugly color on Qing Dong's face at all.
Qing Dong glanced at Yue Feng's still gentle face, and whispered: "Miss Yue, the emperor has ordered, because today is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, so you can't go to the Taishou Hall of the Lixing Palace today." After Qingdong finished speaking, he didn't dare to hang his head.
If you don't say it, the emperor will definitely blame it, but now that he has said it, he is afraid that this girl with a strange personality will cause trouble. This errand is really not easy to do.
Hearing this, Yue Feng, who was tidying up his clothes, paused for a moment, and then replied: "Don't worry, I won't go, I know what my identity is, and I won't embarrass you." When these words fell, Yue Feng stood up.
In the palace, all the concubines are changing their methods to make the Queen Mother extremely happy, because they feel that as long as the Queen Mother is happy, the emperor will look at them more.
Staring at the different women in front of him, Wei Wuchen, who was wearing a dragon robe, shook his head helplessly, stood up and said gently: "Queen Mother, my son still has some twists and turns, so I will retreat first, and my son will come to visit you later." ”
He was already dissatisfied with today's birthday banquet, but now when he sees this, he is even more bored.
Wei Wuchen's words made everyone in the hall quiet, and they all lowered their heads and kept silent.
The Queen Mother's expression was cold for a moment, and then she said casually: "The mourning family has already asked Wen Deli, the emperor, your today's recital has been corrected, so you can sit here for the mourning family." ”
The Queen Mother's voice was very small, but the anger in it was monstrous.
Hearing this, Wei Wuchen was stunned for a moment and then sat down slowly, his eyes flashing over Wen Deli, who was hanging his head, and his wordless anger swirled in it.
Glimpsing Wei Wuchen sitting down, the warm and angry color on the Queen Mother's face faded a little.
She raised her hand and motioned for Wen Deli, who was trembling on the side, to come forward, and then whispered with a smile on the corner of her lips: "Go and pass the gift that the mourning family has prepared for the emperor." ”
"Yes." Wen Deli responded, bowed and retreated.
Looking at Wen Deli's back and disappearing in front of the palace gate, Wei Wuchen was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, today is your birthday, why did you give your son a gift!" With that, he raised his hand and motioned for the palace maid to stop Wen Deli.
In the past few days, although there have been many things in the previous dynasty, he still knows more or less about the situation in the harem, especially what Quanji has done.
Quan Ji glanced at him and said meaningfully: "The mourning family is happy today, the emperor can't refuse the mourning family." ”
The implication of this sentence is obvious. She just said that whether Wei Wuchen agreed or not, she decided to do it, and Wei Wuchen couldn't refuse.
"As long as the queen mother is happy, the son will not refuse." Hiding the unhappiness in his heart, the smile squeezed out of Wei Wuchen's face was extremely hard.
For so many years, he has been living under total control, and he has no right to refuse in this situation. But he believes that one day he will take the power completely into his own hands.
"Jade promised to see you." Wen Deli's shrill voice rang out, pulling Wei Wuchen's thoughts back.
He put down the teacup in his hand, took a few deep breaths, and looked at the woman who was walking in front of him.
Hehe, how ironic, when he sealed a jade promise, he himself didn't know.
The gaze of everyone made the already nervous Yu promise even more excited, she bowed her hands and knelt tremblingly in front of everyone, "Slave maid to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and all the ladies and ladies to say goodbye." ”
"Well, get up." Quanji raised his hand and smiled brightly. She liked her choice very much.
Yu promised to get up when she heard it, but as soon as she straightened up, Wei Wuchen spoke, "Did I tell you to get up?" As he spoke, he locked her coldly, his fingers tapping on the table.
"The slave knows what is wrong." Yu promised to be frightened by Leng Yan and kowtowed vigorously.
She has always been a combing girl before, and now when she encounters this state, of course, she only knows how to beg for mercy.
Looking at her appearance, a hint of disappointment welled up in Quanji's eyes, but then his eyes fell on Wei Wuchen.
The sharp eyes seemed to question, and seemed to blame, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this." ”
Wei Wuchen knew Quanji's forbearance of anger, but he didn't care at all, and slowly drank the freshly brewed tea in his hand, "Queen Mother, my son doesn't remember when he sealed a jade promise, and he ...... forget it for a while."
Quan Ji is not a foolish person, so he naturally understands Wei Wuchen's intentions.
She took the teacup handed over by the waiter, dialed the tea leaves floating on it, and then shook the teacup on the table, "She is the comb of the mourning family, she is ingenious, and she is also beautiful, the most important thing is that there is no strategy, so the mourning family took it upon themselves to seal her as jade and agreed, I think the emperor will not have any opinions." ”
After Quan Ji finished speaking, he specially swept his gaze to all the concubines in the hall, including Empress Wei, who was closest to her.
The scorching gaze made Empress Wei feel uncomfortable suddenly, she coughed lightly, and the golden armor lit a little blue-veined tea cover to hide her angry heart at the moment.
Okay, you're a quanji, and you're really talking about it.
The sharp tone made Wei Wuchen sneer, he lowered his head, and hid the monstrous intent, "Oh, it turned out to be the queen mother's meaning, the son knows that he is wrong, everything is up to the queen mother." With that, he motioned for Yu to agree and stood up.
"Don't talk too much if you know it's the meaning of mourning." Quan Ji promised to recruit Yu to his side, and his patience was stretched to the extreme by Wei Wuchen's repeated provocations. If he says one more word, he will be angry on the spot.
Wei Wuchen tugged at his lips lightly, but there was no response. His heart ached from Quan's indifferent gaze, and his left hand clenched between his sleeves suddenly tightened, making his finger bones rattle.
His action was watched by Concubine Duan, who was sitting at the front of the left side, and she stood up suddenly and said to Quanji: "Queen Mother, how can Yu promise that the concubine's position is so low, how can she sit next to you!" ”
What Concubine Duan said was exactly what the other concubines in the hall wanted to say, but they were smart and naturally knew that they shouldn't say it at this time.
The angry and sharp language made Quan Ji suddenly burst into anger, followed by an overwhelming reprimand, "Concubine Duan, what kind of occasion is this, what identity are you using to reprimand the mourning family, such rudeness, I really don't know the depth." In the end, the anger emanating from Quan Ji's body was like a stormy wave, wanting to drown Concubine Duan.
Concubine Duan took a few deep breaths, walked forward quickly, knelt down, and looked at Wei Wuchen from time to time with a pale face.
Following her gaze, Quan Ji naturally saw Wei Wuchen's face as well. She pulled her mouth and took a sip of tea, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time. She wanted to see how Wei Wuchen would deal with this matter, after all, this concubine was the person on the tip of his heart.
Quan Ji was silent, and the others in the hall naturally didn't dare to say much. For a moment, the hall was silent, only the sound of breathing came out.
