Chapter 358: Scheming Emperor Dongling
The guard-like man was gobbling up, his back to the two, the faint candle flame flickering, his figure flickering in size.
"Can't you see who it is?" Su Qingcheng whispered.
"Don't you think the sound is familiar?"
As soon as Ye Yutai's words fell, another person in the firewood room said loudly: "Pinglang, you are too willful like this, how can you deceive people at will in the event of life and death." ”
Su Qingcheng's eyes flashed, she had heard this woman's voice not long ago, it was so majestic and atmospheric at that time, and now it sounds a little more coquettish.
"That's all you're worried about? The third and fourth children were born in October when you were pregnant, aren't you angry that I lied to them like this? ”
At this time, the identities of the two people in the firewood room have become clear, and the person who looks like a guard is Emperor Dongling, who sounded the death knell and announced to the outside world that he had died.
The other person is the noble concubine Niangniang, who suppressed the Seven Princes with momentum outside the main hall today.
"What's so angry about this, it's their blessing that Pinglang is willing to test them, if they can't meet Pinglang's requirements, just get out." The concubine was like a little woman in front of Emperor Dongling, and she spoke with a delicate taste.
Su Chengcheng was a little surprised, the original impression of the concubine in her heart was not very good, I thought she would be the kind of person who puts fame and fortune first, but I didn't expect her to be able to say such open-minded words, but I don't know how true or false.
"Among my many sons, only the third and fourth are the most outstanding, and you teach them well." Emperor Dongling was still chewing something in his mouth, and it sounded a little vague.
"Which is the credit of the concubine, the third and fourth have always been taught by Pinglang himself, Princess Xiping's little girl has been raised by the concubine since she was a child, you look at her character, who dares to marry her in the capital." The concubine said, judging from the shadow, she was still serving vegetables to the man in front of her.
Between the two of them, there is no difference between chatting with ordinary couples about family life and children, but who would have thought that the people in this are Emperor Dongling and the other is Concubine Dongling.
"Princess Xiping, it's the thirteenth princess, right?" Outside the firewood room, Su Chengcheng also discussed with Ye Yutai in a low voice.
"That's right, it's the sister of Ouyang Yu and Yi brothers, and she's only ten years old this year." Ye Yutai Road.
"It seems that this Emperor Dongling is really pretending to be ......," Su Qingcheng said lightly, thinking in his heart, wondering if he would test the three or four princes in various ways.
"But why did Heiro choose today? Today is the wedding of the lord of Nan'an and the king of Yunan. The concubine said suspiciously.
"That King of Nan, it's too arrogant to come to Dongling, I heard that he gave ninety-nine boxes of dowry to the lord of Nan'an, which will make me lose the hearts of the people." Dongling Emperor Road.
"I see," the concubine subconsciously glanced at the window, "it's really the best of both worlds." ”
The two people who heard all this knew in their hearts that Ye Yutai's identity had too much impact on Dongling, and perhaps Emperor Dongling didn't want to use fake death to test the two princes at first.
Ye Yutai's eyes sank, not knowing what he was thinking.
I only heard the concubine Niangniang wondering: "Why is it so cold in this firewood room, Pinglang, you eat first, and the concubine goes to close the window." ”
Su Chengcheng immediately turned around to look at Ye Yutai, the man reacted quickly, hugged her and jumped up the tree gently, and in the blink of an eye, the concubine Niangniang had come to the window.
"It's strange, I heard something just now," the concubine didn't close the window for a long time, she looked out the window, and didn't know who she was saying to someone, "It's late at night, let's rest early." ”
"Aren't you cold? Maybe it's the sound of the wind. Emperor Dongling didn't notice her abnormality, and he didn't care about it.
The concubine glanced at the tree seemingly carelessly, so frightened that Su Qingcheng did not dare to come out, and then closed the window.
At this point, the voices of the two people talking inside can no longer be heard clearly.
Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, she always felt that the concubine seemed to know about the existence of the two from the beginning, and those words were deliberately heard by the two......
The reason for closing the window is that the words behind it are inaudible, and the words before closing the window are warnings.
Obviously, Ye Yutai also realized this, his eyes dimmed slightly, and said, "Let's go, it seems that I can't hear anything in the back." ”
The two returned to the palace wall of the Lily Pavilion, and Ye Yutai's expression did not change, nor did he show a very shocked look.
"You already knew?" Su Qingcheng couldn't help asking.
Ye Yutai naturally knew when she was talking about, and said, "It's just a guess, I just think how could it be so coincidental that something happened on the day of the king's wedding." ”
Su Chengcheng suddenly remembered that when she and Ye Yutai came out of the princess's mansion, there didn't seem to be so many gift boxes behind the team at the door, which means that he might have guessed that this wedding banquet would not be possible.
A nameless fire inexplicably rose in her heart, and it was clear that there was no longer a secret between the two, which made her faintly look forward to it......
"No wonder the prince has a set of regular clothes in his carriage, it turned out that he had already guessed that something had happened at today's wedding banquet, and the box at the time of welcoming the relatives would be empty," her tone unconsciously carried some resentment, "The prince is really smart, and he can still be unpredictable, admire and admire." ”
The man heard that something was wrong with the woman, pinned her body to face him, and explained with a smile: "The regular clothes in the carriage have always been prepared, and the boxes at the time of welcoming the relatives are also real things, but only less than half of them have come, and the other half is in the palace. ”
Seeing that the woman's face softened slightly, Ye Yutai pinched her face affectionately, very happy: "This king's heart wants to marry you couldn't be more real, if there is no such change, you and I are ...... by now."
He deliberately dragged out the end of the note, and the unfinished words added a bit of ambiguity.
He explained clearly, Su Qingcheng's anger had not yet been fully aroused, and he was quickly relieved.
"Don't you think the concubine did it on purpose?" She was no longer angry, and she came back to her senses to discuss Fang Cai's matter with Ye Yutai.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what the concubine said and closed the window were all hinting at the two of them.
"It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, the interests of both of us don't conflict, so we can go with the flow." Ye Yutai Road.
He seems to be calm and breezy no matter what happens, even if he is used by the concubine, as long as he can achieve his goal and he has no losses, he doesn't care.
Su Qingcheng has been by his side for so many days, and has learned a lot from him, and nodded: "What she wants is nothing more than for her son to ascend to the throne, whether it is Ouyang Yu or Ouyang Yi." ”
"That's right," Ye Yutai affirmed, "what she wants to tell us is that the emperor is going to start testing them, so let's help a little." ”
