Chapter 118: The Surviving Maniac
"Ah, Shen Guifei?" Xu Jinrou was taken aback.
"Which Shen Guifei?" Fang Ruo asked.
Qingluan's eyes widened.
"There is only one Shen Guifei in Cuiwei Palace, and it is Shen Ningyan Shen Guifei." Xiao Xuanzi replied affirmatively.
Xu Jinrou was puzzled, "Didn't Shen Guifei get burned by the fire?" ”
Fang Ruo glared at Xiao Xuanzi, "Speak quickly, so as not to make the princess anxious." ”
"Yes, yes, master, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly,"
"The slave family went to inquire near Cuiwei Palace just now, and some people said that after the fire broke out, almost all the people in Cuiwei Palace fled, but Shen Guifei, who was already crazy, did not escape, she was originally sitting in the courtyard, not in the house, just holding a skull."
"The fire is burning, Shen Guifei didn't know how to escape, but survived, she was not the only madman in Cuiwei Palace, she was the only one who looked at the fire and smirked, she didn't move, it was the queen's order to save her."
Xu Jinrou bowed, "I see, Shen Guifei saw the fire but didn't flee in panic, it can be seen that she is really crazy, and the queen doesn't want to kill her." ”
"Yes, master, you guessed right, I heard that the queen knew that Shen Guifei did not escape, but she smiled and said hello three times in a row, and then passed the decree to save Shen Guifei's life."
"Well...... where did Shen Guifei go now?" Xu Jinrou asked.
"According to what the servants heard, the queen ordered Shen Guifei to be imprisoned in the Chonghua Palace where she lived back then."
"Chonghua Palace?" Xu Jinrou was slightly shocked, "I heard that it has been deserted, dilapidated, and has never been renovated, it is not a place where people live, is Shen Guifei imprisoned there alone?" ”
Xiao Xuanzi nodded affirmatively, "That's how the news from the slave came out. ”
Xu Jinrou asked Xiao Xuanzi to go back to rest.
Fang Ruo frowned, "Now all the people who can run in Cuiwei Palace have been killed, and the one who didn't run is alive, princess, what is the queen going to do?" ”
Xu Jinrou said coldly, "The queen would rather kill the wrong person than let go of a person, Qingluan, don't even go to see Shen Guifei recently, I'm afraid the queen will send someone to secretly monitor there." ”
Xu Jinrou knows that because of the heart of the emperor, the queen is calm and light on the surface, but in fact she is very careful, she cares about every move in the palace, and Gonggong Yan, as the queen's henchman, must be every step of the way, and now it is better to be careful.
Qingluan bowed down and agreed, and then couldn't help but ask, "Princess, won't Concubine Shen be saved from now on?" She's so pitiful! ”
Xu Jinrou's eyes were firm, "Shen Guifei must be saved, but now that we are not suitable to make a move, the crown princess should need Shen Guifei more, and we will just take advantage of the situation then."
Xu Jinrou thought that the people in the cold palace were almost dead, and the remaining Shen Guifei was alone, and the queen was no longer worried, so that if she found out that Qingluan went to Cuiwei Palace, she should not be investigated.
Fang Ruo's face was worried, "Princess, should you let Qingluan leave the palace as soon as possible?" Otherwise, the queen sent someone to inquire about Qingluan, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. ”
Qingluan was taken aback, "Don't worry, even if you capture me and kill me, I won't talk about things that shouldn't be said." ”
Xu Jinrou smiled and shook her head, "Don't panic, everything should be done step by step, so as not to make the queen suspicious, she is afraid of my relationship with Liu Rentu, it is when she wants to be the emperor, she will not do anything to us, what she has to worry about is that she is secretly doing something." ”
Fang Ruo was a little worried, "If that's the case, can the queen let us leave the palace?" ”
Xu Jinrou's expression was calm, "Today, Marshal Du's wife Yuwen Peiyun is going to enter the palace, and she will definitely not greet Liu Rentu, although this news can reach Liu Rentu sooner or later, it is better to avoid me, so there is no need to tell me to keep my mouth shut, Liu Rentu will be over if he pretends not to know." ”
"It would be more in line with the queen's wishes that we could leave the palace earlier, so not only will we not stop it, but we will definitely make a decree that I leave the palace to do business."
After breakfast, the queen sent a decree for Xu Jinrou to go to Tianshou Palace to meet her.
Outside the gate of Tianshou Palace, Xu Jinrou saw Jiang Beixi, who had just left the palace.
Jiang Beixi was wearing a brocade dress made of clouds and blue sea makeup, and the quaintness of the cloud brocade matched Jiang Beixi's handsome appearance, with a tall posture and a sense of being out of the dust.
When Jiang Beixi and Xu Jinrou greeted each other, Xu Jinrou couldn't help but take a second look, Jiang Beixi noticed it, bowed down and said, "Thank you Princess Jin for Yunjin." ”
Xu Jinrou's expression was correct, "Where did Imperial Doctor Jiang come from, Mama Chen's craftsmanship in the Garment Bureau is really a must, and it is right to thank her." ”
Xu Jinrou knows that she can't talk much to Jiang Beixi, let alone fake colors, the queen's relationship with this Jiang Langzhong is now in full swing, if she shows any praise for Jiang Beixi, it will make the queen feel uncomfortable, and women naturally understand women best.
The queen in Tianshou Palace is wearing civilian clothes, she should have just gotten up, and there is still spring between her eyebrows, Xu Jinrou is a person who has come over, and it can be seen at a glance that Jiang Langzhong's service is very popular with the queen.
The queen gave the seat, and then motioned to Mama Li to bring a delicate black lacquered wooden box and handed it to Xu Jinrou.
Opening the wooden box, Xu Jinrou saw that there was a porcelain pillow with a whole body of emerald green, with exquisite blue and white and lotus leaf patterns on the pillow, the surface of the porcelain pillow was smooth and smooth, smooth and solid, and the ornamentation was smooth and smooth, regular and concise.
"This pillow is called warm jade blue lotus leaf pillow, although it is called warm jade, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the pillow can cool the skin for a long time, refresh the body and enjoy the eyes, and it has the effect of reading fine books for the elderly."
The queen now speaks softly, without the cold and domineering spirit in Su Ri, but seems to have a little more warmth, if it weren't for the tragedy in Cuiwei Palace last night, Xu Jinrou almost thought that she had changed her temperament because of Jiang Beixi's service after a long drought.
Looking at Xu Jinrou, the queen's eyes showed a little helplessness, "Now the Western Barbarians don't let me buy and sell the treasures in the Great Chu Palace, if they can, this warm jade pillow can be worth 10,000 taels of silver."
Xu Jinrou was a little puzzled, "I don't know what the queen mother meant by taking out such treasures to her concubines?" ”
"Didn't you mention to Jin Rou yesterday that the king of Ximan said that the king of the state was going to move to the palace of Tianzhu Mountain? This is the housewarming gift given by the mourning family to the king of Yuzhou. ”
"Oh, I see." Xu Jinrou suddenly, "The concubine will definitely send the queen mother's heart." ”
"Well, the day after tomorrow is the day of the housewarming of the king of Yuzhou, the mourning family thinks that you will leave the palace today, only send a porcelain pillow although it is expensive, but it seems a little thin, you go to prepare some gifts, and send them the day after tomorrow."
"I don't know what kind of gifts the concubines need to prepare?"
"You can make up your own mind about this kind of thing, you don't need to ask the mourning family, in short, don't be too shabby."
Xu Jinrou nodded respectfully, "The concubine knows." ”
With Fang Ruo, Qingluan left the palace in a carriage, Xu Jinrou finally felt more at ease, although the queen would not be ruthless to her on the surface, but what she could do in secret was not something she could control.
Qingluan went to Cuiwei Palace to be discovered, and a tragedy happened tonight, in case the queen was ruthless and secretly sent someone to take Qingluan away, it would be difficult for her to rescue.
None of these things happened in the previous life, and it was up to her to deal with it in this life.
Or many things that are due to Yuwen Peiyun's entry into the palace, the queen didn't continue to care, what can be done?
Xu Jinrou didn't think about the-for-tat contest with the queen so early, her mind was to wait until the child was born safely, and then concentrate her efforts, but now do you have to wait?
Leaving the palace, he did not return to the Xu Mansion, and the carriage went directly to the Jian Guo Mansion.
Xu Jinrou decided that before giving birth to these two babies, as long as she did not live in the palace, she would often live here in Liurentu.
Since Liu Rentu exposed Ding Luoheng's matter, Xu Jinrou felt the need to do this, she thought that she already knew Liu Rentu very well after the previous life, but now it seems that some things have changed because of her changes, and she still needs to understand him better.
The carriage stopped at the back door of the Prison Mansion, and Xu Jinrou instructed Fang Ruo to carry two brocade boxes and send her to Tingyuxuan.
Xiao Rou respectfully took her in, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, as if she was the hostess of Tingyuxuan.
Since she knew that Liu Rentu had actually only touched her alone, the feeling of this hostess in Xu Jinrou's heart has become stronger and stronger, and she has repeatedly reminded herself that she should not be dizzy, Liu Rentu was using her in the previous life, and this life has not changed.
Xu Jinrou instructed Xiaorou to let the kitchen cook some wine and food, and she wanted to accompany Liu Jianguo to eat wine tonight, although she was pregnant and couldn't drink, it was okay to accompany her with tea.
Knowing that Xu Jinrou was coming, as soon as it was dark, Liu Rentu came back, Xu Jinrou greeted him and helped him take off his coat.
Liu Rentu smiled in his eyes, "What's wrong today, like a wife waiting for her long-lost husband, don't you have something to ask me?" ”
Xu Jinrou glanced at him, "Don't you see that others are good to you?" ”
Liu Rentu pouted, "I can't stand your kindness to me, I can't see through what you have in your heart now." ”
"If you can't see through it, you can have a sense of mystery, and you can like it more."
Liu Rentu took her hand, "What the hell is wrong with you today, you never talk to me about love, unless you are made by me." ”
Xu Jinrou's face was slightly red, and she punched him hard,
"What do you mean by not being able to do it..."
The words came out, but his face turned even redder.
She quickly turned around and took the brocade box, hiding her red and hot cheeks,
"This is the brocade clothes I asked the best craftsman in the palace garment bureau to make for you, wear it and try it, this cloud brocade is from the Cuipingshan brocade factory."
"Oh, what I made for me is getting better and better for me, do you want me to dress decently before killing me?"
"Phew", Xu Jinrou took a sip, "Yes, then do you dare to wear it?" ”
Liu Rentu's black eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips curled, "I dare to wear the clothes that are life-threatening." ”
helped Liu Rentu put on a brocade robe, with a tall figure, a handsome face like a carving, and an extraordinary bearing, more than Jiang Beixi.
Xu Jinrou's eyes were shining with stars, this man was really impeccable.
Liu Rentu sniffed slightly, "The smell of smoke on this dress is a little special, but it smells very good." ”
Xu Jinrou stared at him, "This is a commonly used incense to ward off evil spirits in the Great Chu Palace, and the clothes made by the Garment Bureau will be incense." ”
"Oh, it's the same in the palace of the Xiban, but I haven't heard of it."
"Yes", hearing this made Xu Jinrou think of Concubine Rong, and she felt a pain in her heart again, and held back the words that came to her mouth.
"This cloud brocade is called the blue sky mandarin duck brocade, which is the painstaking thing of the brocade factory. You can wear this brocade when you have important things, for example, if you don't wear court clothes when you go back to Xiban to see the Son of Heaven, you can wear this brocade robe. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." There was a smile on his face.
Xu Jinrou glanced at him, "If you don't listen to it, your mouth is happy." ”
"As a reward, I have something for you here."
