Chapter 442: Envoy of the Western Regions
In the past few days, I don't know if it was because the Queen Mother was in a bad mood or unwell, not only did she not specially summon Hua Xiangjun to Cining Palace to speak, but even the daily greetings of the harem concubines were all waived.
On the contrary, Rong Emperor Yu Wengang was in high spirits all day long, and his eyebrows often showed an irrepressible excitement.
He now has to come to Hanxiang Pavilion almost every day to sit for a while, play chess and chat with Hua Xiangjun, and behave very sincerely, but without losing his etiquette.
And Hua Xiangjun naturally treated him more enthusiastically than before, and the two were always able to talk happily.
So, from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, Hua Xiangjun could hear some things that happened outside the palace from time to time-
The Empress Dowager ordered the Praetorian Guards to besiege the city and hunt down Han Bing. Unexpectedly, Han Bing forcibly broke through the defense line of the Praetorian Guard, highlighted the encirclement, and left the new capital safely.
For this reason, Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was heavily reprimanded by the Queen Mother, not only received twenty court rods, but was also punished to lead the Praetorian Guard outside the city to practice for a whole month.
And what surprised Yu Wengang the most was that before leaving Xinjing, Han Bing actually broke into the main altar of the Chiyang Sect located on Chiyang Mountain in the eastern suburbs, and seriously injured the Chiyang Sect Leader Duxiaoqiong.
Although I couldn't see the son of the King of the Red Sun kicking his legs, it couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
But when he thought that the dignified Chiyang Sect Master was actually beaten by a young man in front of his disciples, and almost died, Yu Wengang felt that he still had a bad breath in his heart!
He, His Majesty the Emperor, naturally wanted to tell this happy good news immediately to the Xiangjun girl who could talk to him the most in this palace now.
Seeing that Xiangjun heard this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, and Yu Wengang was even more happy.
In his excitement, he casually said another interesting story.
Shocked to hear the bad news that Duxiaoqiong was seriously injured by cold ice, the Queen Mother was so angry that the evil fire attacked her heart and she was sick for a few days.
As a result, the already arranged summoning of the envoys from the Western Regions was also forced to postpone.
But the envoys from the small countries of the Western Regions didn't know why, and they thought that they had offended the Queen Mother, so they were not summoned, and they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
I don't know where they found out that Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was the queen mother's confidant, so they went to the door to give gifts, wanting to buy off the commander in order to get some inside information about the queen mother.
And Shen Yunpeng has suffered setbacks in the past few days, he has been holding his breath, and he was disturbed by these foreign envoys in turn, so he was even more annoyed, so he simply threw people and things out directly.
Unexpectedly, those envoys thought that this was because the gift they gave was too light and did not enter the eyes of the commander.
So, they began to change their tricks again, and specially selected some valuable or novel things and sent them over.
What's more, one of the envoys from Gumo actually sent a beautiful woman from the Western Regions to the Commander yesterday.
And the worst thing was that Shen Yunpeng was leading troops outside the city to drill at that time, and the soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion did not let the envoys of Nagu Mo Kingdom enter.
Who knew that the envoy was also strange, so he turned around and left, but threw the carriage in which the beautiful woman from the Western Regions was riding in front of the Commander's Mansion.
The beauty of the Western Regions was in a dilemma, and couldn't help but sit in the car and cry.
As a result, a large group of onlookers were attracted to watch, including the crape myrtle girl......
Regarding the relationship between Ziwei and Shen Yunpeng, Hua Xiangjun has long heard Yu Wengang mention it.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Ziwei also saw the beautiful woman from the Western Regions who was sent to Shen Yunpeng's mansion, Xiangjun's big eyes couldn't help blinking, and he said softly: "Poor Shen Commander ......"
Her sentence immediately caused Yu Wengang to laugh.
However, at this moment, Hua Xiangjun's heart was secretly thinking about another thing-
What was the purpose of the Queen Mother's summoning of those envoys from the Western Regions?
The countries of the Western Regions sent envoys to Rong at the same time, which was quite unusual.
And if the envoys had only come out of courtesy and had been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor of Da Rong, it would have given them enough face.
Since the Queen Mother is ill, there is really no need to specially summon her.
But the Queen Mother would rather let the envoys wait in the post house than send them away.
There must be some extraordinary purpose in this......
After sending away Emperor Rong Yu Wengang, Hua Xiangjun sat alone in the hall, seemingly leisurely sipping tea, but in fact, in her heart, she was still pondering the news about the envoys of the Western Regions that made her feel quite uneasy.
At this time, I heard that someone from the palace came to report that Miss Ziwei was here.
Hua Xiangjun hurriedly beckoned Ziwei to come in quickly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, why did he deliberately let the palace people come to spread the word today?
Since the last time they met in Hanxiang Pavilion, Han Bing told her that Miss Ziwei and the brothers and sisters Shen Yunpeng and Shen Qingluo had all helped him in secret, and with Hua Xiangjun's intelligence, he already knew what he should do.
Although she couldn't see Shen Qingluo, and she rarely had the opportunity to meet Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Miss Ziwei still often came to visit her in this Hanxiang Pavilion.
As a result, Hua Xiangjun became more and more close to the palace maid beside the Queen Mother. However, she never mentioned Han Bing in front of Ziwei, and she never asked Ziwei about any outside news.
For this crape myrtle girl with such an identity as the head of the internal security department, Hua Xiangjun has always been cautious, even vigilant, and will never let the sensitive crape myrtle feel the slightest feeling of being taken advantage of.
Because of the proper grasp of proportion, Ziwei's affection for her, a gentle and wordless Xiangjun girl, grew, and the two gradually became warm.
Crape Myrtle almost every other day or two, she wants to come to this Hanxiang Pavilion to talk to Hua Xiangjun.
And Hua Xiangjun also instructed the palace people around him that every time Miss Ziwei came, there was no need to pass it on.
This move naturally shows the casualness and intimacy between the two, and at the same time, it also makes Ziwei feel very embarrassed.
But today, Ziwei actually deliberately let the palace people enter the house first, it should be something unusual that happened.
As soon as he thought of this, Hua Xiangjun couldn't sit still.
She just stood up and wanted to go outside the hall to take a look, but saw Ziwei walking in with a smile.
As soon as she entered the door, she, the big palace maid of Cining Palace, hurriedly spoke: "Miss Xiangjun, who do you think the slave maid brought to you?"
Hua Xiangjun realized that there was a person behind Ziwei.
But before she could see the other party's appearance clearly, the little man in the red shirt had already rushed up and threw himself into her arms.
"Missโ"
Hearing this call with a choked voice, Hua Xiangjun suddenly felt that his eyes were wet, and he couldn't help but choke up and called: "Cui'erโโ"
She really didn't expect that Cui'er would rush over from Chongyuan so quickly.
Holding her thin little body, knowing that this little girl must have suffered a lot recently, Hua Xiangjun couldn't help but cry in distress.
Seeing this scene, Ziwei's eyes couldn't help but be slightly wet, and she sighed secretly, and quietly withdrew, leaving the two masters and maids who had been separated for a long time, telling each other about their feelings after parting.
At the same time, Ziwei also secretly thought in her heart that the queen mother's ancestor should be relieved.
Judging from the fact that Miss Xiangjun recognized Cui'er immediately, as well as their excited expressions, Cui'er is indeed the messenger girl that Miss Xiangjun has always brought with her in the past, and it is impossible that some hidden people took the opportunity to insert a little secret agent.
However, what this Ziwei girl never expected was that as soon as she left with her front foot, Cui'er's little girl had stopped her grief, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in Hua Xiangjun's ear: "Miss, Childe asked me to tell you, he will come to rescue you tonight!"
