Chapter 35: Falling into a Trap

"Don't worry, concubine, the imperial doctor said today that my father's illness is much better than the day before yesterday, and Mrs. Gu will definitely be able to find medicine for my mother!"

Princess Lehua was obediently by her side, not wanting Concubine Shang to be sad, and comforting herself was also comforting herself to smile brightly at her mother.

Shang Guifei's eyes were loving, and she looked at Princess Lehua and smiled dotingly: "The people that Lehua values, this palace naturally believes." ”

At this time, the tassel girl walked to the side of the mother, leaned over and whispered a few words, and the concubine's face sank faintly, and soon the palace maid carefully presented the things in her hand, which was the spring scene made by the Fifth Highness.

Princess Lehua happened to see it and asked happily: "This picture of spring scenery in the hands of the concubine is really good, where did Aunt Tassel find it?" ”

The dedication of the painting was just a formality, and Princess Lehua obviously didn't hear what Tassel said in the concubine's ear.

Wei Ning, who was a few people away, was even more so, but he could see the fleeting annoyance on Shang Guifei's face.

Although this demeanor is shallow, it is exactly the same as the anger on Miss Xiao Er's face!

If she guessed correctly, Concubine Shang was already wary of her.

In addition to the relationship with Mrs. Xiao and the Wu family, what else can make the concubine resentful?

"Back to the princess, this painting was made by His Royal Highness Fifth on the way here, and the two young ladies of the Xiao family are also there, His Royal Highness appreciates Mrs. Gu, and specially asked Mrs. Gu to bring it to the mother."

Concubine Shang Guifei looked at the painting and let it be withdrawn, and the tassel ordered the palace maid to put away the picture scroll, and explained to Princess Lehua with a smile, but this smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"I see! The fifth brother is now sensible and knows that he is worried about his mother! With Aunt Tassel's explanation, Princess Lehua understood, and nodded happily, in her opinion, it was a good thing that the unkind fifth brother could take the initiative to show favor to the mother concubine.

"Lin'er's filial piety is rare, the tassel will put away the painting for the palace, and the saint will be happy to see it." Shang Guifei obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so she raised her eyes and said.

"Coincidentally, the wife of the Xiao Shilang family in Kyoto is a distant relative of the palace, and the day before yesterday I entered the palace and mentioned that the Wei family tea house was doing well in Kyoto, and I also praised Mrs. Gu in front of the palace that she would do business."

Aunt Tassel also interjected: "Mrs. Gu is not only good at business, but also quite a study of the way of life, not only the mother and the princess are appreciated, but the fifth highness and Mrs. Xiao are also impressed by Mrs. ”

As soon as these words fell, Wei Ning noticed that there was a thorn in Shang Guifei's words!

It is good to get involved with the Wu family and the Fifth Highness, Shang Guifei really took precautions, so this entry into the palace is also deliberately done by Shang Guifei, what to help find medicine and praise Yimei, but it is just intended to ring a warning bell!

Princess Lehua didn't know the reason, and praised in agreement: "What Aunt Tassel said is also what Lehua wants to say!" If it weren't for Mrs. Gu's suggestion, Brother Yu's attitude towards Lehua would not have changed! ”

"My father promised to marry Lehua in half a month, and I will definitely invite Mrs. Gu to attend the princess's wedding banquet!"

Princess Lehua could not hide her excitement and joy in her words, but she didn't know that Emperor Qi was terminally ill, and the temporary calm inside and outside the palace was just an appearance.

After hearing this, Shang Guifei was still full of pampering in her eyes, and she agreed with a smile, and after this conversation, a palace maid came to report that it was Emperor Qi who invited the concubine to Lingxiao Palace, and Princess Lehua also accompanied her.

"Okay, there will be Mrs. Lao for today's entrustment, if you can get medicine to cure the stubborn disease of the saint, this palace will definitely be rewarded!"

Shang Guifei had something to do, so she got up and said to the guest: "Tassel, you personally send Mrs. Gu back for the palace." ”

"Yes."

"The slave maid was sent to the palace gate, and the concubine Niangniang valued the lady, so she asked the slave and the maid to arrange the carriage in the palace to send the maid back, and the lady should not live up to the mother's painstaking efforts."

At this time, outside the Zhumen of the palace, Aunt Tassel saw a few people get into the carriage, and then did not leave directly and stood in place, Yuyan was puzzled to lift the curtain for his wife, and the people in the car looked at it, and heard this unclear word.

"Ride the horse on the road more steadily, Mrs. Gu is the noble person of the noble concubine, if you are shaking upside down, Aunt Ben will ask you!" After saying that, Aunt Tassel said goodbye and turned around and went back to Jingyang Palace, and the people in front of the carriage who drove the horse palace were busy saying yes, waving the horsewhip and heading towards the road outside the palace.

"Madame, look! Kyoto is really lively today, and the streets and alleys are full of people! ”

In the spacious carriage, Yuyan looked at the street scenery outside the car window, pointed to the crowd on the side of the road and smiled at his wife.

Ziling was also attracted by the lively scenery, and the two had forgotten their dull mood when they entered the palace, and they also took Mrs. by the arm to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"Help! Help me! There are flower thieves and robbers! At this moment, there was a frightened shout in the alley, and I saw the people under the tall building scattering and running away as if they were facing a great enemy, and many men and women rushed over from outside the carriage and disappeared in an instant.

At this time, the carriage slowed down, and Yuyan was so frightened that she immediately lowered the curtain: "Madame, it's not good!" There are bad people doing evil at the mouth of the alley! ”

"It's too dangerous! It's not good if it hurts Madame! Ziling's eyebrows furrowed when she heard this, and she said loudly in front of the carriage, "Please hurry up and get out of here!" ”

Who knew that this panicked voice spread out, and before he got the response of his father-in-law, Wei Ning secretly stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, how could there be half a figure in front of the car!

And at this moment, it is even more coincidental that their carriage happened to stop where the bad guys were committing the crime!

Looking up at that end, I saw that the carriage happened to stop outside the fireworks willow alley, and it was vaguely seen that masked men were catching several young women at the entrance of the alley.

The people around were so frightened that no one came to save them, and it was really suspicious that there were no Kyoto officers and soldiers dispatched for such a big movement!

The gangsters led the two were forcing the two into a corner, and the thin old man was afraid to protect the girl behind him and begged to death: "Please let the good man spare the little girl!" The little girl is still young, but I'm afraid I can't serve a good man! ”

"What a word! Your daughter has a bit of beauty, and it is your blessing to be seen by my son-in-law! However, the old man was kicked away by the masked man in cold blood, and immediately covered his chest and vomited blood and fainted, and several girls who were caught were so frightened that they all cried.

"You who have lost all your conscience have done evil at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ……”

Then, in the midst of the evil laughter of the masked thief, the old man's daughter fainted in anger.

Until this moment, someone had noticed the carriage parked not far away, and the three of them held their breath in the carriage, not daring to move in the slightest, for fear of alarming the bad guys and luring them in.

At this moment, a masked man overtook the carriage and whispered: "Big brother, look there!" Exactly the carriage of the Royal Palace! ”

The words fell, accompanied by the frightened screams and cries of the women at the entrance of the alley, several masked men walked towards the carriage together, and the three people in the carriage held the carriage tightly, so nervous that their nails were also in the wood, knowing that danger was coming!

"They came prepared! It turns out that this is the hard work of the concubine! ”

The footsteps outside the carriage approached step by step, Wei Ning hung his heart for a long time and couldn't let go, thinking back to the ins and outs of the matter, only to realize that these people were just designed by Shang Guifei, just waiting to fall into the trap!

It's just that the tricky thing at the moment is that Concubine Shang Guifei will not openly send someone to assassinate her, if they are taken away by these people, what will happen to them?

"It turns out that the concubine is harming us! Madame is also a daughter of an official family! How can it be treated like this? ”

Yuyan was angry and afraid, gritted her teeth and hated the outside of the car, only to understand that it was Concubine Shang Guifei who deliberately arranged a carriage to send them out of the palace, in order to let these masked people capture Madame!

"What are we going to do, ma'am? Can you still escape? Ziling had never seen such a scene, so she trembled in fright and asked urgently.
