Chapter 850: The Dust Settles
In a blink of an eye, two days have passed, but these two days are mysterious in the palace. It seems to be peaceful and quiet, but in fact it is like the surface of the lake, the water is not rippling, and the waves are not rippling, but there is an undercurrent surging underneath the water.
Yang Yunxi has also been very angry in the past two days, and after punishing a few people in a row, whether it is Xiangluan Palace or the entire harem, he suddenly calmed down. No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they don't dare to regenerate any moths on their faces.
After spending two days like this, Yang Yunxi only felt that every day was like a year, and the whole person was also tense. At night, I waited for dawn with my eyes almost open.
It's not a good taste. Yang Yunxi is like this, and the palace people below are all tense, just looking forward to Zhu Li returning to the palace soon.
The news came back the following evening.
As soon as Yang Yunxi saw Liu En coming over in a hurry, he let out a "grunt" in his heart for no reason. Almost subconsciously, he stood up, the movement was too big, and the two gold-inlaid jade lotus bracelets on his wrists were gently knocked and made a crisp sound.
The sound was faint, but it was indescribably obvious and crisp. Yang Yunxi listened to it in her ears, and suddenly calmed down, retracted the steps she had taken, and calmed her demeanor dignifiedly, only the little anxiety that flickered in her eyes betrayed her thoughts: "But there is news from the emperor?" β
Liu En showed a happy look: "Don't worry, it's good news." The emperor successfully suppressed the bandits, and now he is on his way back! β
suppressed for two days, and at this time, Liu En couldn't help but have a sense of excitement and joy in his tone.
Everyone knows that as soon as Zhu Li returns to the palace, everything will be settled.
As if a suspended stone had fallen to the ground, Yang Yunxi only felt that his heart was instantly stable. Immediately, the joy in my heart was like a leavened dough, expanding and stretching a little bit, and finally the whole person was completely relaxed, and the corners of my eyebrows and lips couldn't help but rise slightly: "Really? β
What is the eyebrow dance? It's called the Eyebrow Dance. But this thing is indeed something to be happy aboutβno matter what, as long as Zhu Li returns safely, it will be the best.
Yang Yunxi gathered the bracelet, coughed lightly to restrain his expression, and then pretended to be calm and dignified and asked, "Where has the emperor gone?" When will I be back? β
She was terrified in the past two days, and she couldn't wait to see Zhu Li immediately. So she thought in her heart that maybe she could pick up Zhu Li? Even if you don't go out of the palace to pick it up, pick it up at the gate of the palace, and no one will say anything if you think about it.
Liu En saw Yang Yunxi's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "If the noble concubine wants to pick up the emperor, it's okay." When the emperor entered the city, I sent someone to inform the mother. β
Liu En said this, Yang Yunxi glanced at Liu En approvingly, nodded and responded implicitly. It's just that when he turned his head, he couldn't help but instruct Sui Mei: "Ask the imperial dining room to cook two more dishes." The emperor was out for two days, and he didn't have a good meal. "There should be no such delicate food outside, and it must be improvised.
When he said this, Yang Yunxi was smiling.
Yang Yunxi's jubilant spirit naturally infected the palace people of the entire Xiangluan Palace, and for a while, everyone seemed to be a little more energetic when they walked. It's also a little more energetic.
Just when Yang Yunxi was happily waiting for Zhu Li to return to Beijing, Zhu Qi was already so hungry that he fainted.
For two whole days, Zhu Qishui did not eat rice. It's not that Liu En deliberately didn't give Zhu Qi food, but that Zhu Qi was tough and didn't want to eat. Of course, it may be because of the fear of being poisoned.
Anyway, Zhu Qi didn't eat it, and no one dared to hold his chin and pour it hard. So Zhu Qi was hungry like this.
When the news of Zhu Li's victorious return came, Zhu Qi was drowsy: in fact, being locked up in such a palm-sized place, Zhu Qi was not in the mood to do anything else except for a while when he was hysterical and crazy at the beginning. Those beautiful palace people, Zhu Qi didn't even look at them.
Now, Zhu Qi seems to have given up completely. Hearing such "good news", Zhu Qi was silent for a while, and finally buried his face in the palm of his hand and didn't move again for a long time.
Empress Dowager Li's reaction was similar to that of Zhu Qi, and she sat dry for a while, with no other look on her face except for Yin Owl. And the first sentence asked: "When will King An be released?" β
Zhu Li is back, so naturally there is no reason to detain Zhu Qi anymore. And I'm afraid that as soon as Zhu Li appears in front of the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li will inevitably make a fuss.
But no one cares about this matter: Heng Zhu Li doesn't care about it.
Now, everyone in the palace is waiting for Zhu Li to return to the palace.
It's just that two hours have passed, but Zhu Li still hasn't come back.
Yang Yunxi waited anxiously, so he asked Wang Shun to ask Liu En: "Why haven't you come back for so long?" β
Baba waited like this, although he heard good news before, but after so long, he waited like this, and his heart couldn't help but start thinking about it again: For example, did Zhu Li stumble on someone's feet? Otherwise, there is not much distance, why haven't you come back yet?
Wang Shun also knew that Yang Yunxi was in a hurry, so he ran all the way to find Liu En.
When Wang Shun saw Liu En, Liu En had just finished talking to Xiao Huangmen, who came back to report the news, but his face was a little ugly.
Wang Shun looked at Liu En's complexion, although he hadn't asked yet, but he had no confidence in his heart, and he had some ominous premonitions.
And when Liu En saw Wang Shun, he guessed Wang Shun's purpose without waiting for Wang Shun to speak: "The concubine is in a hurry?" β
Wang Shun nodded, poured a cup of tea for Liu En, and was a little cautious: "Niang Niang sent me to ask, when will the emperor return to the palace?" β
Liu En pursed his lips and took a sip of tea, but when he put down the teacup, his face sank a little. Liu En shook his head: "I don't know. ...... just now"
Sighing lightly, Liu En was a little stunned and worried: "The emperor was ambushed by assassins on the way back to Beijing. I was wounded in the shoulder and was shot by an arrow, and now I don't know what happened. And it's very likely that the cluster of arrows was coated with poison ......."
As soon as he heard this, Wang Shun couldn't hold the teacup in his hand for a while, and the teacup slipped from his hand, and fell on the table with a "bell" sound, and half a cup of tea spilled on the table.
However, at this time, Wang Shun didn't care about this, but he was so eager that his voice changed a little: "Injured? Now the emperor isβ"
Then thinking of the consequences of saying this to Yang Yunxi, Wang Shun looked at Liu En and was completely worried.
