Chapter 179: Relatives and Lovers
Last night, there was an assassin in the palace and the matter of the purchase division going to the water in the palace, and the concubines of the harem were frightened to the point that the six gods had no master, either this headache, or that palpitation, and they sent palace people to invite Emperor Dehui, hoping to seek the protection of the true dragon's qi. But it is not known how many of these people are really panicking, and how many are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to regain favor.
The queen has been with Emperor Dehui since the accident, and seeing that Emperor Dehui was unbearable, she immediately issued an edict to let these concubines go to the imperial doctor if they are sick, and if they are not sick, they should stay in the palace and not moan without illness. As soon as this order came out, it made the palaces stop.
Emperor Dehui has always been worried about Hua Qiong in his heart, so he took the opportunity to hand over all the affairs of the harem to the queen, and handed over the assassins and fire extinguishing to the forbidden army, and he took a group of guards to Qionghua Palace.
Emperor Dehui thought that he could sleep well in the warm fragrant nephrite, but unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he learned that Prince Lu was kidnapped by mountain bandits in the imperial temple, and he almost didn't sleep all night until the sky was light.
When he woke up again, it was almost noon, and after Hua Qiong personally served him to wash and change clothes, he ordered someone to pass lunch.
"What's wrong with you today?" Emperor Dehui saw that Hua Qiong had been arranging vegetables for himself, so he couldn't help but put down the gold-inlaid toothbrush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Serving so diligently, didn't you do something to make the Queen Mother unhappy, and wanted me to protect you?" ”
"What does Your Majesty mean by this, is it blaming the concubine for not serving you wholeheartedly on weekdays?" Hua Qiong put down her teeth, her eyes swept lightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes were delicate and sultry, and she was slightly annoyed, "Besides, how can the concubine have the ability to make the Queen Mother unhappy?" ”
Emperor Dehui was fascinated by her delicate and annoyed appearance, and immediately beckoned to her, "Come here." ”
Hua Qiong walked to an arm's length away from Emperor Dehui, and saw him wrap his long arms around her and firmly tie her into his arms.
"Your Majesty!"
Hua Qiong exclaimed, and then heard a chuckle from above her head, with a subtle low voice, as if it had been rubbed by sand, a little sultry.
"It's just a joke, why are you still annoyed?"
Emperor Dehui lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, bent his index finger and gently scraped the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "As long as Qingqing is always by my side, no matter what Qingqing does wrong, I can tolerate you." ”
Hua Qiong was stunned when she heard this, looking at Emperor Dehui's affectionate eyebrows, and there were ripples in her heart. The man in front of him has a handsome and comfortable face, and a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes look a little indifferent, but when he only stares at you, he can't help but think that you are his whole world.
But Hua Qiong knew that Emperor Dehui's greed was always just beauty, and his affection was just a play, not just for her.
After a while, Hua Qiong had already sorted out her thoughts, glanced at him coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty's mouth has always been the best at coaxing people to be happy." ”
After that, she gently pushed Emperor Dehui and wanted to struggle to stand up from his arms, but seeing that he was unmoved, she immediately reminded: "In this blue sky and white day, Your Majesty should be cautious in words and deeds, otherwise it will reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and it will be time to say that the concubine and fox will charm the Lord." ”
Seeing that she insisted on getting up, Emperor Dehui was no longer reluctant, and immediately let go of his arms and tidied up his cuffs by himself, "Qingqing reminded me that I should also go to see the Queen Mother, and I don't know what Zhou Baiqing and the group of forbidden troops are doing, there is still no news of Huaizhou, what a bunch of waste!" ”
Hua Qiong's eyes flashed, and her sandalwood lips quietly provoked a sneer, looking gloomy and sarcastic, but in an instant, she retracted it again.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong, how can you say that this week's general can be regarded as having spent half his life defending the imperial city, and he has not married a wife to this day, even if he has no merit, he has worked hard."
Emperor Dehui froze, raised his eyes carelessly, and asked with a light smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, "What does Concubine Hua mean by this?" ”
Hearing that Emperor Dehui suddenly changed his title and title, Hua Qiong's heart tightened, and she immediately lowered her eyebrows and said, "Concubine-"
"That's it." As soon as Hua Qiongfang spoke, he was interrupted by Emperor Dehui.
Emperor Dehui raised his chin, his eyes were slightly indifferent, and his originally handsome facial features seemed to be a little sharper, but the corners of his mouth were hooked with a soft smile, "I just cared about giving me cloth, but I didn't move, sit down and eat." ”
Hua Qiong glanced at Emperor Dehui, silently swallowed back the words in her mouth, answered with her chin bow, and then slowly sat down.
She picked up the gold-inlaid toothbrush, and saw the chief eunuch who had been waiting outside the hall hurriedly walked in, and reported to Emperor Dehui with a happy face: "Your Majesty, Prince Lu is back!" ”
"Huaizhou is back?" Emperor Dehui's eyebrows widened, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Is he injured?" ”
"The people from Xianfu Palace just came to report that Prince Lu is all right, and please don't worry about it."
"That'll be fine." Emperor Dehui nodded, then glanced outside the hall and asked suspiciously, "What about Zhou Baiqing?" Since he has rescued Prince Lu safely, why didn't he come to return to me? ”
When the chief eunuch heard this, he peeked at Emperor Dehui, considered it for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Prince Lu was not rescued by General Zhou and the forbidden army, but by Su Jingqian, a friend of Prince Lu and the owner of Xuanji Tower. ”
When Hua Qiong heard this, her eyelashes trembled, and then she quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Su Jingqian? I heard Huaizhou mention him, saying that this person has excellent martial arts and has some friendship with many people in the rivers and lakes. This time, since he was able to find Huaizhou's traces one step faster than Zhou Baiqing, he must have relied on the clues obtained by those people in the rivers and lakes, it seems that this kid Huaizhou is not lying. Emperor Dehui shook his head and smiled, took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and commanded, "Get up and drive the Xianfu Palace, I will go and see him." ”
Emperor Dehui said that, and was about to get up, but he saw the chief eunuch and say, "Your Majesty...... Prince Lu ...... I've already left the palace. ”
Emperor Dehui's face sank suddenly, he slapped his palm on the table, and said coldly: "He just ran out of danger again, what a bastard!" ”
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" The chief eunuch wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and carefully explained, "Prince Lu was able to come back safely this time thanks to Su Jingqian's help, but it is said that Su Jingqian only brought a few people in the rivers and lakes and the guards on Prince Lu's palace to break into the cottage together, he was seriously injured in order to protect Prince Lu, and Prince Lu returned to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to go for treatment, so he hurriedly went out of the palace with a few imperial doctors." ”
Before Emperor Dehui could speak, he heard a "bang", he followed the sound and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai, why is her face so pale?" ”
Hua Qiong came back to her senses in an instant, immediately stroked her forehead, and said with a sad expression: "It's probably because the concubine didn't sleep well last night that she accidentally knocked over the teacup." ”
Emperor Dehui looked at her with a tired face, thinking that she had been by his side all night and had not slept all night, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "That's it, I'll accompany you to eat first, and after you finish eating, you can go and sleep well." ”
After saying that, Emperor Dehui turned his eyes to look at the chief eunuch again, and his eyes unabashedly revealed a violent color, and he issued a cold order: "Spread my message, appoint Wang Ming'an as the supervising army, and order Zhou Baiqing to lead 800 forbidden troops and the garrison captain outside the city to lead 1,000 garrisons to uproot all the cottages around Nanling City." The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple thoroughly investigated, but anyone who had colluded with the mountain bandits was all killed, and no one was left! ”
