Chapter 135: Different Hearts
Chapter 135 Hearts are different
"Obey the order!" As the emperor's words fell, Zuo Xiang kowtowed to receive the decree at the same time, and the ministers also reacted at this time and quickly kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and fast, the concubines are already a little hungry." Seeing that the whole matter had been resolved, the imperial concubine made an image of a wronged little daughter, holding her mouth and hugging the emperor's arm with some grievances.
"Your Majesty! Don't say it, when the imperial concubine said this, the concubine also felt a little hungry. The palace lady echoed on the side, and at the same time she was not to be outdone, and hugged the emperor's other arm coquettishly.
"Good, good!" The emperor's mouth was perfunctory, and the arms on the left and right sides were hugged by the two beauties at the same time, although they were separated by clothes, but the touch from the arms was still a burst of heart, where did they have the heart to enjoy the food.
After such a period of commotion, although Zuo Xiang was unwilling, he could only give up.
Bi Yuntao is so happy now, if it weren't for the fact that there were all people here, I'm afraid he would have put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed.
Could it be that this Hanfeng Temple is really his blessed land?! Obviously, he did something wrong, and he was ready to be punished, but he didn't expect to be forced to reverse black and white by these old fritters, not only did he not have to be punished, but even Zuo Xiang, the person who complained, touched the ashes of his nose, and in the end he became an innocent person. Now I can not only eat and drink spicy food, but also have a beautiful woman by my side, which is not too cool.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Bi Yuntao unconsciously laughed.
Meng Ruoxi was interrupted by a sudden laughter, turned her head and glanced at Bi Yuntao who was smirking beside her in surprise, her eyes were full of puzzlement, I don't know what he was smirking at?!
"Humph!" Seeing Bi Yuntao's shameless laughter, Zuo Xiang snorted coldly in disgust, bowed his head to eat, and didn't look at his disgusting appearance.
Don't look at the disgust on Zuo Xiang's face now, but in fact, all this is pretended, from the very beginning, he proposed to the emperor to punish King Qi, which was agreed between him and the imperial concubine.
After the imperial concubine Xingshi asked for the guilt, she left Bi Yuntao's room, leaving Xiaolan alone to accompany Bi Yuntao, but she did not return to her room, but went to Zuo Xiang.
explained the original end of the whole thing to Zuo Xiang, and there was a play just now.
Although the result is still good, it is not the result that Zuo Xiang and the Imperial Concubine imagined at the beginning.
The result they envisioned at the beginning was to let Bi Yuntao receive some punishment, and the imperial concubine took this opportunity to propose to the emperor that Bi Yuntao should think about it behind closed doors at home.
According to the news that came, the second prince and his entourage hurried towards the capital, calculating the time, and it was estimated that they would arrive in the capital tonight at the latest.
The three princes also set off to Hanfeng Temple, although they walked leisurely all the way, and they were not in a hurry or slow, but they would definitely arrive before the Queen Mother went to incense and pray for blessings tomorrow.
So the two of them plan to take this opportunity to let Bi Yuntao stop a little, after all, Bi Yuntao has been making a lot of noise recently.
First of all, he stayed in Mengfu at night and became a flower thief, causing a series of scandals, although he finally saw through the intentions of the second prince and the third prince, and skillfully cracked their calculations, but it also made the second prince and the third prince resentful.
And then there is the banquet Miaochun Pavilion, which not only killed Shen Xu, the only son of the Hubu Shangshu family, but also made the three princes become a cripple from then on, although I don't know how the three princes and the Hubu Shangshu will retaliate, but secretly they will definitely make some small moves.
Now there is another attempt to break into a private house to seek misdeeds, although the emperor has spoken, so people are not allowed to mention it again, but Hanfeng Temple is full of people in the court, and there are people from all walks of life, how can it not reach the ears of the second prince and the third prince? !
Therefore, Zuo Xiang and the imperial concubine discussed and prepared to use this matter to let Bi Yuntao think about it for some time behind closed doors, so that they could concentrate on dealing with the revenge launched by the second prince and the third prince.
Of course, the imperial concubine did this not only for Bi Yuntao, but also for Xue Ruyue.
She knew what Xue Ruyue's purpose was here, Xue Ruyue's purpose was not achieved, and she would not leave the capital for a while, so there was still a risk that she would be noticed by the second prince and the third prince, now was a good time to keep Xue Ruyue away from the whirlpool of seizing the heir, she didn't want Xue Ruyue to be targeted by the two of them again, so that Bi Yuntao's intentions were all in vain.
And she didn't want the only girl she had seen so far who could get into her eyes to be in danger.
In fact, when the imperial concubine came back from Xiaolan, she already had a plan, and after the queen mother offered incense and prayed for blessings, she sent Xiaolan to secretly protect Xue Ruyue, which is why she did not immediately punish Xiaolan after learning that Xiaolan failed to assassinate the three princes.
It's just that after learning about Bi Yuntao's intentions, he was even more determined in his thoughts.
Of course, she also wanted to take advantage of the days when Xue Ruyue was still in the capital, and seize this opportunity to ease the relationship between them, how to say that Xue Ruyue was also her future daughter-in-law.
What's more, she really doesn't want this innocent girl who can make people warm physically and mentally when she laughs, to live like herself, live the most hated appearance and step into her own footsteps.
At that time, she was forced to be helpless, forced to participate in things that did not belong to her, and her hands were full of blood, and finally forced by many pressures and threats, she had to compromise and marry a man she didn't like, although the man regarded himself as a treasure, and he also gave birth to a child for him, but it was difficult for him to like him.
She really didn't want Xue Ruyue to be like her, and whenever she was alone in the dead of night, she would be sad.
At the beginning, the plan was indeed carried out according to the ideas of the imperial concubine and Zuo Xiang, but what the imperial concubine did not expect was that the queen would suddenly speak out, and in the end, because of the queen, Bi Yuntao was safe, and the emperor did not even say a little punishment, which made her feel a little unbelievable.
During this period, when she was watching the changes, the emperor and the queen muttered quietly in front of her, and they didn't want to carry her at all.
After listening to their conversation, she immediately understood the queen's intention, which was to take the opportunity to help herself promote the marriage between Xue Ruyue and Bi Yuntao.
But it's a pity that the emperor just cast a plausible glance at Meng Ruoxi, hesitated to the queen's proposal, and did not reply, which made her feel a little disappointed.
When the imperial concubine was full of disappointment, Zuo Xiang was in a hurry, Zuo Xiang guessed the emperor's intentions, although he said that he should not speculate on the emperor's intentions without authorization, but that is just lip service, otherwise how can he add officials to the knighthood and soar to the sky? !
The emperor understood Bi Yuntao's intention to come up with this matter from the beginning, and Bi Yuntao and Xue Ruyue had all been looked at by the emperor before.
Although the emperor didn't say anything at that time, I'm afraid he also made a little bit of a calculation in his heart, looking at the appearance of the emperor and the queen mother's muttering, it is estimated that he has learned the origin of Xue Ruyue from the queen's mouth.
To be honest, when Zuo Xiang learned from the rumors that the woman who stayed in the Qi Palace's mansion at night was Xue Ruyue, he was also surprised, but he didn't expect Xue Ruyue to look so similar to the old man.
Privately sent someone to investigate Xue Ruyue, and after learning about her family, I was also shocked, and finally saw the old man for more than ten years now, but I didn't expect to see her daughter in Hanfeng Temple now, especially when I saw Xue Ruyue laughing with my own eyes, it was exactly the same as when she laughed.
Looking at this now, I'm afraid that the emperor is a little moved by the queen's proposal, after all, the emperor can also let the old man return to the capital on the grounds of meeting his future in-laws, and see the old man who was moved when he was young and frivolous.
Although the eldest prince instructed the queen to promote the marriage of Xue Ruyue and Bi Yuntao, he was also an insider, but he never expected that the eldest prince and the queen mother would be so unmartial and so insidious.
For their own interests, they did not hesitate to let their daughter be ridiculed by the whole world, and they also wanted to use Bi Yuntao's attempt to break into a private house to seek misconduct against Xue Ruyue, and mention the marriage of Xue Ruyue and Bi Yuntao to the emperor.
This made Zuo Xiang's heart resentful of the eldest prince and the queen. That's my precious daughter, I'm afraid of falling in my hand, and I'm afraid of melting in my mouth! I am reluctant to beat and scold, how dare you do such a chilling thing in front of the old man?! If the emperor really agrees to the queen's proposal, aren't you afraid that the old man will have two hearts because of this, and make consequences that you can't bear?!
But fortunately, the emperor did not agree, otherwise he might really not be able to control himself and do something that even he was afraid of!
These thoughts also left a vestige in Zuo Xiang's heart, and there was a slight gap in the relationship between him and the eldest prince.
It is estimated that only Bi Yuntao is the only one present who can still laugh now!
Not to mention Zuo Xiang and the imperial concubine, Han Wuyong, who regarded Bi Yuntao as his rival in love, was absent-minded and didn't know how to deal with Bi Yuntao.
It's still early to set up the banquet, and it's the King of Qi who has been in the limelight recently, if it weren't for the last time Meng Ruoxi informed herself in advance and let herself run away in advance, I'm afraid that she would have gone to report to Lord Yama like Shen Xu now.
Han Wuyong thought about these things absentmindedly, but for some reason, he always felt a little bottomless in his heart, always had a feeling of coldness on his back, and always felt inexplicably chilled in his heart.
Although I was a little worried in my heart, I still had a trace of anticipation for the arrival of that day.
It's a pity, Meng Ruoxi's personality has been too strong since she was a child, and she is the woman he married back home in the future, so she can't treat her like an ordinary woman, otherwise she can still stun her and take this opportunity to get her body.
That Xue Ruyue was born with a beautiful appearance and a bewitching posture, since she can't get Meng Ruoxi, it's not bad to get her, even if she can't get her wish in the end, it's not impossible to destroy her.
Xue Ruyue didn't know that it was just a Meng Ruoxi's birthday banquet, not only did Meng Ruoxi want to take revenge on herself, but even the unrelated Han Wuyong was interested in herself, if she knew now that so many people were worried about her, even if she lost her virginity because of this, she would have to throw herself into Bi Yuntao's arms, so that she could be protected by the imperial concubine.
Meng Ruoxi didn't know that Han Wuyong, who had always been his brother, usually had a good demeanor, but he had such an unbearable side behind his back. I even thought about using drugs on myself, taking advantage of my coma and unconsciousness, possessing myself and destroying myself.
