Volume 1: Jun Zuo Shou Songhe [Chapter 33] Purpose
The belly of the fish on the horizon will turn out a touch of colorful, lotus-like light, and the morning sun will cut through the soft clouds like cotton, gilded thousands of miles, and overflowing. A wisp of early glow fell along the eaves of the corridor, drawing a straight line, reflecting a pair of silver-painted moire boots, pulling out the slender figure of a young man.
With his arms folded over his chest, he leaned against the stanley of the corridor, looking down and thinking about something.
Yue Muze walked over with a long sigh, pressed his shoulder and asked softly, "You and I have expected this result now." If you don't have the confidence to confront Concubine Xiang in the Qinzheng Palace, I can go for you. ”
Ma Boweng smiled: "Brother Yue, is this looking down on me? ”
"Don't worry. My grandfather was Ma Hui, the prince of Yueguo, who once broke into the hunting camp alone to rescue the emperor and His Majesty. If I am even afraid of Concubine Xiang, wouldn't I have failed the blood of the Ma family's boys? ”
"Besides, this situation has been expected by Ah Huai for a long time, and she has taught me how to deal with it. Even if we don't have enough evidence in our hands, we can make Chonghua Palace chaotic and make Concubine Xiang 'take off a layer of skin' alive. ”
Yue Muze's eyes were slightly condensed, and he muttered: "Ah Huai is very exhausted. ”
Ma Boweng stared at him thoughtfully, tapped his arm with the folding fan he was playing with, and stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Yue's words in prison are really good. If I hadn't known what your character was, I would have thought that you were indeed the kind of abusive official who could ignore the truth of the case for the sake of making errands. ”
Yue Muze said: "It's just the usual interrogation method in prison. Only in this way can Zhong Mi understand that her fate is hanging by a thread and she is not qualified to negotiate with me, so that she can be forced to tell her the real mastermind. ”
Ma Boweng: "If I have the opportunity to join the company in the future, I can be like Brother Yue, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to protect the person I admire." ”
He spoke with a relaxed mouth and a cynical smile on his face, but there was naked sincerity in his eyes.
Yue Muze was silent for a moment and then replied seriously: "If you are willing." You don't have to be me, you can be someone else's dependence. ”
Ma Boweng's eyes overflowed with brilliance, and the corners of his lips raised into a smile.
On the long street in front of the mansion, the little guy prepared a fast horse, and it didn't take long for him to urge.
The young man greeted the morning light, straightened his waist, and strode away.
The sun had just risen, and the fallen leaves in front of the Haoyue Palace had just been swept away, and Zhang Liu, the little servant who was following Ma Boweng, ran and jumped in, and the attendants in front of the steps blocked the road and shouted with a thousand instructions: "Zhang Liu!" Be quieter! No noise in the princess's palace! ”
Xiao Yuehuai rushed over when he heard the sound, crossed the threshold and stood under the corridor, waved his hand to the maids who stopped him, and said, "Let him in!" Stand down! ”
Bend down to the left and right, and leave in an orderly manner on both sides after prostration.
Zhang Liu panted and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess! My husband sent me to pay tribute, and the matter was done. Concubine Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and complained to His Majesty. Lang Jun has been edicted to enter the palace at this moment. ”
Ah Lu clapped his hands beside him and said happily: "Great! It seems that Ziqingjun is not useless! ”
Xiao Yuehuai didn't have any emotional ups and downs, just breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Okay, you go to the firewood room with me and escort the two maidservants from last night." ”
After that, he took out two dense documents from his arms and handed them to Zhang Liu: "This is their confession, and they have clearly explained everything that Zhong Mi instructed them to do." ”
Zhang Liu nodded, put the paperwork close to him, called two people in front of the hall, and followed Ah Lu to the firewood room where the maidservant was held.
Xiao Yuehuai had a cold face, stepped back into the front hall, and waited for Ma Boweng to return smoothly. It didn't come to the last moment, and she didn't dare to relax completely. Seeing that Ah Lu sent Zhang Liu out, she fell into uneasiness again.
When he was shaking his head, Su Ying walked in with a food table.
The sound of footsteps woke her up, Xiao Yuehuai raised her head, facing Lang Jun, seeing a smile on the corner of his lips, and said gently and softly: "You didn't eat anything in the morning, I made a bowl of sweet soup, use a little bit, and wait for a while." ”
Xiao Yuehuai blinked, took the bowl and spoon from his hand, and took a sip silently, the heat flowed down the throat and ran to all parts of his limbs. She snorted her lips and said, "It's a little hot..."
Su Ying stepped forward quietly, naturally took the soup bowl over, and blew on the air to dissipate heat while stirring with a spoon. After a long time, he handed it back to the princess.
Xiao Yuehuai lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Su Ying didn't say anything more, but stepped aside to wait with her.
The hall was so quiet that there was not a trace of waves, only the sound of spoons and pottery bowls colliding. After a while, Xiao Yuehuai suddenly said: "Su Ying, why are you... Help me so much? ”
Yesterday evening, Xiao Yuehuai thought of all the ways to do it, secretly sent someone to contact Yue Muze, and asked Qianchun Lou to send a letter, asking Yan Siniang to pay attention to the movements in Liu Lane. After everything was ready, it was difficult for Xiao Manxin.
Xiao Manxin was frightened, his body was weak, and he was easily exposed when he stayed in the palace, and it was not easy to move later.
So she wanted to arrange for someone to send Xiao Manxin to Concubine Song to keep her safe temporarily. But she couldn't completely avoid Concubine Xiang's eyeliner and send people out. In desperation, she casually found an excuse and sought Su Ying's help.
However, this person was too thoughtful, and he suddenly noticed her abnormality. After several questioning, Xiao Yuehuai could only tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, Su Ying not only helped her send Xiao Manxin out of the palace, but also brought Ma Boweng back, and the suggestion she put forward coincided with her original idea: if she took this opportunity to let Ma Bowen use her own strength to protect Xiao Manxin, she could naturally promote the marriage of the two of them and complete this marriage.
In addition, Xiao Yuehuai has another layer of consideration-
She is now weak, and if she wants to confront Lu Qiaoyu head-on, not only will she not be able to get benefits, but she may also be countered by the general, so it is the best choice to play chess in the dark.
Su Ying seemed to know her thoughts, and when Xiao Yuehuai released the news to lure Zhong Mi into the bait, the maids on Beiling Street already knew that the Ma family's Ziqingjun had entered the palace. He set up the situation in advance, and used the arrival of Ma Boweng to cover up her connection in this matter, paralyzing the ears and eyes of Concubine Xiang, and allowing her to successfully hide behind the scenes.
Such a plan couldn't help but make her suspicious. Su Ying's every step happened to fit her, and everything was so clever that it was terrifying.
Xiao Yuehuai tentatively asked the words, intending to know the true purpose of his help.
Su Ying replied without leaking: "I met Ziqing in the Colosseum, I know his innocent temperament, and I also know that he secretly admires the eleventh princess, so he wants to be an adult, and he helps each other in this marriage." ”
Xiao Yuehuai said unwillingly: "It's just like this? Then why did you specially lead Ziqing to take a detour around Beiling Street? ”
Su Ying turned her head and her eyes collided with her: "The minister doesn't want the princess to clash head-on with Concubine Xiang. ”
As if to guess what she was thinking, he looked directly at her and said it calmly.
