Chapter 68: Recounting the Past
Hu Zhenbang smiled slightly, patted him twice, and Ning Lingge said as soon as he was dumbfounded: "It's not too much, I promise you, early tomorrow morning, I will personally send two sets of attendant costumes to the two." Two, you're here to help me?"
Hu Zhenbang smiled slightly: "Your Majesty the Prince, I think you are also very clear about your current situation, if you are willing to follow our instructions, we will naturally help you." He knew that Brother Ning Ling was no longer the prince, but he still called him like this, obviously to make the prince understand that he was definitely not a person who fell into the ground.
Brother Ning Ling said: "Yes, I naturally understand, but how can the two of you help me?"
Mu Hanyi suddenly asked, "I only ask you, do you have the guts to kill Li Yuanhao?"
Brother Ning Ling was taken aback and said in surprise: "Why did you say that I was going to kill Li Yuanhao, you, how would you know?"
Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi looked at each other and smiled: "So, you admit it?"
Ning Lingge was shocked and asked: "Who said it, who said that I confessed, he is my father, how dare I kill him?" He argued forcefully, but secretly thought in his heart: "What is the origin of these two people, could it be that Li Yuanhao sent them to inquire about my news?" But it doesn't look like it, and it shouldn't be. ”
Mu Hanyi sneered: "I only ask you, after your wife was taken away by Li Yuanhao to be a new one, your mother was deposed from the throne, and you yourself were deposed from the crown prince, are you willing to do this?"
Ning Ling Ge Deng said angrily: "Who said that I am willing, how can I be willing! This revenge is not revenge, and it is not a gentleman, and I and Li Yuanhao do not share the sky." What are you two here for? Could it be that Li Yuanhao sent an agent to take evidence of my guilt and then arrest me to see Li Yuanhao?"
Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Okay, you know it's good if you're unwilling, the man's husband, whoever changes this evil breath can't bear it." The two of us are looking for you today, which is the request of Shicai, as long as you help our brother and sister enter the main hall, let us see the princess of Xixia get married. ”
Brother Ning Ling said: "This, didn't I promise this, let your brother and sister marry to Tubo with the Tubo people." ”
Mu Hanyi said: "You did promise, even the crown princess told us in front of Li Yuanhao, but unfortunately, this time is different from the past!"
Ning Ling Gemeng Province, he is no longer the crown prince, and even the crown princess has become the new queen, so the promises he made are afraid that he can no longer count. Thinking of this, his heart sank, and he flinched a little from the assassination of Li Yuanhao.
Hu Zhenbang saw that he looked depressed, and knew that he thought that his identity had changed, and he had no confidence in doing things. Then he said: "Your Majesty the Prince, don't worry, as long as you can let us enter the palace, we will do our best to protect your life." Not only that, but the assassination of Li Yuanhao, if necessary, will also help you. ”
Ning Ling Ge Deng turned his worries into joy, and said hurriedly: "If the two of you can really help me, after I get rid of Li Yuanhao, I will definitely ask the Xiangguo to help me ascend to the throne, and at that time, you two will be the founding heroes!"
Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi both sighed in their hearts, this Ning Lingge is still dreaming of becoming an emperor on the throne, if he knew that there was no plan to hide the Xiangguo, his throne was hopeless, and his life was in danger, I don't know how he would feel.
But this thought can't be said to be heard by Brother Ning Ling, Hu Zhenbang said: "Your Majesty the Prince, we help you, not because we are greedy for merit, but I just hope that you can reunite our three brothers and sisters together and not separate." Now that His Majesty the Crown Prince has agreed, it is decided, and tomorrow I will wait for you to send clothes and accessories to the residence, and the day after tomorrow, I will take the two of us into the main hall. ”
Brother Ning Ling said in his heart: "This Mu Hu is really good at talking, once there is an opportunity, which ordinary people don't want to soar, you say it's just for the three brothers and sisters not to separate, it's too fake." However, it seems that these two people have some skills, and if they can use them, it will still help them a lot. He immediately said: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements tomorrow to ensure that the two of you can enter the hall smoothly on the day of the wedding ceremony." ”
Hu Mu and the others saw that he promised to come down, and it was expected that he would not change again, so they quit the East Palace and returned to their residence. told Ayimu about the things he had agreed with Brother Ning Ling, and Ayimu was very happy. That night, the three brothers and sisters talked for most of the night, and then they rested.
Just after the next day, the inner chamberlain came to announce the decree that the "Princess of Western Xia" Haiisha would enter the Jiangfu Palace, and the new queen Wuyi would be responsible for the marriage arrangement. Ayimu and Mu Hanyi said goodbye, Hu Zhenbang heard a palace person coming to pass the word in his residence, and knew that he was going to take Ayimu to the inner palace to prepare for the marriage, and he also came to say goodbye to Ayimu early. The three of them didn't say much when they said goodbye, they only exchanged their eyes, and they were reluctant to give up, knowing that success or failure would be tomorrow.
After Ayimu entered the Jiangfu Palace, according to the rules of the next day's rituals, he first burned incense and worshiped the Heaven and Earth Sect Sheji and the ancestors of the Western Xia Emperor, and then was taken to the residence by the palace maids, first used vegetarian food, rested for a while, and was introduced into the inner palace to bathe. There is a large bath in the inner palace, and two palace maids who are waiting for the "Xixia Princess" come to give Ayimu a wide robe and want to serve her to bathe.
Ayimu carried the revenge dagger of "Ti Fengxi" with him, and it was inconvenient for him to change his clothes in front of the two palace maids, so he said: "I'm really not used to changing clothes and bathing in front of others, you two go and wait for me outside the curtain, and I'll change my clothes myself." ”
The two palace maids said: "Please princess or avoid it, let's serve and change clothes, I'm afraid that the new queen will blame her, and the slaves and maids can't afford it." ”
Suddenly, I heard a voice outside the curtain say: "Huilan, Bihe, I won't blame, you two come out, let the princess bathe alone, and put the new clothes after the bath on the hanger, if the princess doesn't call you, you can't disturb her." ”
When the two palace maids heard this, they immediately said respectfully: "Yes, the queen mother." He said that he would retreat outside the curtain.
When Ayimu heard this, he knew that he had not moved here, and he was not surprised in his heart, and said through the curtain: "Haiisha thanked the queen mother." ”
Wu Yishi also said in surprise outside: "Good sister, you don't have to be polite, I'll wait for you outside, and the two sisters will talk for a while." ”
The two palace maids were surprised to see that the new queen was called a sister to the "Princess of Western Xia".
Ayimu carefully put the dagger aside, bathed, changed into new clothes, still covered the veil, and hid the dagger closely. After combing properly, he walked out of the bathroom, but saw Wu Yishi sitting far away in the house, and when he saw her, he quickly got up to greet her, and Ayimu bowed from afar and said, "Sister, sister asks you for peace." ”
Wu Yishi took the first step to hold her up, and said: "Sister, this is very good, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to call me the queen." When he said the words of the queen's mother, his voice was sad.
Ayimu looked up, but saw that Wu Yi's face was thin, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he said in pain: "My sister is emaciated, you must take care of your body." ”
When Wu Yishi heard Ayimu's words, he couldn't bear it anymore, and a string of tears fell immediately, and Ayimu hurriedly took out the silk scarf he brought with him to wipe her tears.
didn't wipe away his tears, and was about to hand the silk scarf back to Ayimu, when he was suddenly stunned, unfolded the goose-yellow silk handkerchief and looked at it again, and said hurriedly: "Sister, where did you get this silk scarf?"
Ayimu said: "Sister, this handkerchief was given to me by a sister of mine who has a life-and-death relationship. Why, does my sister have such a silk scarf?"
Wu Yi said: "Your sister, but your name is Zina?"
Ayimuki said, "Exactly, does my sister recognize her?" but she is now, she is ...... now" suddenly choked up, unable to continue.
"What is her current situation?"
Ayimu said: "She, she is still in the palace, I saw her a few days ago, and I was brought to see by the prince." ”
Wu Yi said: "She, she is not dead, she is still in the palace, so how is she doing? It turns out that the prince actually knows, why did he not tell me for so many years." ”
Ayimu sighed and said: "However, she has been cut off by Li Yuanhao and has become mute, and now she is a raccoon girl in the Huanyi Bureau." Alas, poor sister, a few days ago, Li Yuanhao wanted to kill her. Sister, how did you meet her?"
When Wu Yishi heard Ayimu's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but shed tears again, saying: "She's still alive, that's fine, but, how could she end up so miserable." Alas, she is my savior, when I went out hunting with the prince, there was a sika deer was hit by an arrow, running around in the forest, I wanted to save it, so I chased all the way, unconsciously lost in the forest, the forest was rocky, the horse unfortunately lost its hoof, fell me off the horse, my right leg was broken, I couldn't move, the horse also lay down beside me, I waited so dumbfounded, shouted out of my throat and no one answered. ”
Ayimu listened to her tell about the dangerous things that happened back then, although she knew that she should be fine, otherwise she would not be standing here properly. But she was kind-hearted and anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Then what should I do, sister, you are in such a dangerous situation, is it really heavenly?"
Seeing Ayimu's true feelings, he was worried about her, but he was relieved in his heart, and said, "Good sister, you see that I'm not good, I'm fine." But at that time, I was indeed frightened and helpless, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and there was still the sound of wolf howling in the distance, I became more and more afraid, I only had a short sword and a bow and arrows on me, but the arrows in the quiver had been shot during the hunt, and if there were really wild beasts, how could my short sword resist, I must have become their snack. ”
Ayimu couldn't help but palpitate when she described the danger she was in back then, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked at the Wuyi clan worriedly, full of worry.
After a pause, he didn't move and said: "Just when I was worried, I suddenly heard the hooves of the horses in the forest, and a man and a rider came in the twilight, and immediately this girl was Zina, she saw me and the horse who fell to the ground, "oops" and exclaimed, and immediately got off the horse to help me, but the bone in my right leg was broken, and the pain was terrible, and I couldn't stand up, so I told her to ask her to find someone to help again, but she said that if she returned to the village to call someone, it would take more than half an hour, and it was dark at this time, and she was not at ease.
Although she was younger than me, she was very resolute in her work, and she took my dagger and ran into the woods, and cut a few branches, one of which was shortened for me to fix at my feet, and with this goose-yellow silk handkerchief that she had taken out, and another one as a crutch, so that I could walk. So she let me ride on her horse, and led my horse by herself, and slowly led me out of the woods, and found the prince's hunting ground, and the prince was looking for me with his soldiers, and when he saw that someone had brought me back, he was overjoyed, and took out the silver taels to reward Zina, but Zina didn't want anything, and when she saw that I had found the base camp and someone to take care of me, she said goodbye to me and the prince, and said that she wanted to go home, because she and my grandmother were the only ones in the house, and they needed to go home to take care of my grandmother. Speaking of this, the Wu Yi clan sighed.
Ayimu answered: "Yes, I also heard Zina say that she and her grandmother depended on each other, but later, when her grandmother died, she entered the palace. ”
Wu Yi smiled slightly: "Yes, yes, Zina entered the palace after her grandmother's death, and it was the palace I let her in, and now I am wondering if I kindly asked her to enter the palace, did it hurt her." ”
Ayimu thought that Zina was almost killed for herself, and she didn't feel empathy and said: "Sister, don't blame yourself, we act only to treat people with shame, and we really can't expect many changes, how can we blame you for this?
