MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 184 a joke
The teahouse in Fengyi Palace has not been used for many years. In the afternoon, Sangliu opens the front and rear doors of the teahouse, allowing the cool snow to sweep away the darkness.
In the evening, the father-in-law who passed the decree left Fengyi Palace, and Sang Liu began to make tea in the tea room, so as to add some warmth to the quiet room.
After finishing all this, she went to do Xie Nanzhi's makeup.
Since the Dongchuang incident happened two years ago, the empress was either lingering on the sick bed, or arguing with her majesty, and it has been a long time since she had done her makeup properly.
"Sang Liu, will this set of headgear be too fancy and not dignified enough?" Xie Nanzhi's spirits were rare, with a clear light shining in his eyes, "It's better to use this set."
"This set seems too solemn, will it appear that I am difficult to get close to?"
"Forget it, let's just do this." The light in Xie Nanzhi's eyes faded, "If he comes today, he probably doesn't want to get close to me."
Sang Liu suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
During the speech, the voice choked up, and the tears rolled down: "Your Majesty, let's wait for His Majesty to come back. His Majesty will be back tomorrow. You can discuss with His Majesty..."
Xie Nanzhi shook her head, her face that had just been powdered became even paler: "He hates me so much now, why would he discuss it with me? If he knew about it, he might make an order right away..."
Her voice choked, and she didn't speak any more.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty loves you deeply and is responsible. If you really despise Your Majesty, how can you allow Your Majesty to continue living in Fengyi Palace? Your Majesty, let's bow down to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is just worrying about the affairs of the court. If you really want to As for your crime, why did you let the eldest princess admit your highness back then?"
"But I was guilty." Xie Nanzhi's eyes dimmed completely.
"Your Majesty, you were also... helpless!"
is actually a very old story.
The imperial power changed, and the new emperor came to the throne. Emperor Jiahe received a lot of care from the Xie family, and the Xie family also reached its peak for a hundred years because of Emperor Jiahe.
The young emperor has ambitions, and Xie Changyuan, who has been in power for many years, is also ambitious. Xie Nanzhi neither wants to see Emperor Jiahe being restrained by many people because of the Xie family, nor does he want to see his father get carried away and touch the king's scales to destroy his family. Death.
It's just that since ancient times, such a situation has been controlled by the emperor, and the middle palace will not easily give birth to a son. However, when it comes to Emperor Jiahe and Xie Nanzhi, Xie Nanzhi is extremely sober and rational.
She could predict that a prince from the middle palace would break the precarious balance. No matter which side wins in the end, it is not the ending she wants to see.
So she made preparations early on, hiding from everyone, and replaced the little prince whom Emperor Jiahe was looking forward to, what Xie Changyuan was looking forward to, and even all the people were looking forward to, out of the palace.
But who would have expected it?
Who would have expected that the prosperous Xie family would wither with Xie Nanci's death even without Emperor Jiahe's suppression.
A family without successors is not enough.
Everything Xie Nanzhi did suddenly became a joke.
became evidence that she questioned Emperor Jiahe and betrayed Emperor Jiahe.
"Sang Liu, go and see if he's here." Xie Nanzhi personally applied some rouge to her cheeks.
No one expected that after twenty years, that child would actually return to the capital, under the eyes of Emperor Jiahe.
On the Shangyuan Festival in the 14th year of Jiahe, Emperor Jiahe came to Fengyi Palace for dinner with a happy face.
"Today, you should go out of the palace with me in micro-clothes to see the bustle of Chang'an Avenue."
"Even if you don't look at Chang'an Street, it's great to look at a few students who have attracted much attention this year. The children of the aristocratic family, this Showa is unwilling to marry, and that one I don't like. This year, Chun Wei asked her to open her eyes and choose carefully."
"Speaking of which, there is really a person who is quite close to my eyes today, and I feel very happy when I see it. Maybe he is like the queen, with a little mole on his nasal bone."
"I'm not kidding you, it's really the same, and the positions are exactly the same."
"That student is very popular, and has won several prizes in a row. Even if he doesn't win the top prize this time, it shouldn't be a problem to get a No. 1."
"It happens to be the same age as Showa, and the surname is Wang, the first name is You, and the character is Shuzhi."
She dropped the bowl of Yuanxiao on the spot.
The name is "You", and the character is "Shuzhi".
These words, dreaming back at midnight, every word burns my heart.
Dear years of getting along day and night, her little gaffe made Emperor Jiahe notice the abnormality.
Following the investigation of "Wang You", there is no room for concealment.
She and Emperor Jiahe can never go back to the past.
"Ma'am." Sang Liu didn't get up, but tightened Xie Nanzhi's skirt and said, "Mistress, think about it again, we have already missed it once, we..."
"Your Majesty, Prince Pei has arrived." The father-in-law outside the palace rushed to report.
Xie Nanzhi's back stiffened slightly, and he lowered his eyes: "Sang Liu, this is the end, there is no better choice."
"So many lives, someone has to pay for it."
As he spoke, he stopped looking at Sang Liu and stood up dignifiedly: "Please, Prince, go to the tea room."
-
Pei You probably guessed that she originally planned to wait for him to come out outside the palace, and asked Tu Bai to send her back to the Duke's mansion.
Although it wasn’t snowing, it was still very cold. When Wen Ning went out, she didn’t even have a heater. She didn’t want to make herself sick at this time, so she followed Tu Bai honestly.
Just returning to Qinghui Hall felt uneasy.
She didn't understand why the empress in her dream wanted to hang herself.
Judging from the conversation between Emperor Jiahe and Pei You later, it was clear that she was not the murderer. Could it be because Pei You said some unpleasant words at that time?
impossible.
I don't know if this life is still the same as the previous life.
If there are other reasons, even if Pei You's attitude is better tonight and his words are softer, can this ending be changed?
Wen Ning was so anxious that she almost burst into flames.
At one moment, she felt that she should try to ask Pei You to take her to Fengyi Palace, and at another moment, she felt that she would not be of much help if she went to Fengyi Palace.
So what else can she do?
Wen Ning thought about it, and gritted her teeth: "It's just white!"
Tu Bai responded.
Wen Ninghu sat on the low couch without taking off her fur, and asked, "Who has the highest martial arts in the dark guard camp? The best at hiding?"
Tu Bai obviously didn't expect Wen Ning to ask this, and was momentarily taken aback.
Wen Ning said again: "If you tell them to sneak into the palace, would they dare?"
Tu Bai was even more surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, and replied: "If the master orders, not to mention the imperial palace, the mountains of swords and seas of fire must go."
"Am I your master?"
Tu Bai paused: "Forget it..."
Wen Ning immediately said: "Then I will order you to order two secret guards to sneak into Fengyi Palace and watch the Empress Empress right now, and stop her immediately if she makes any changes."
Tu Bai was a little embarrassed: "Madam..."
Sneaking into a palace is no small matter...
Wen Ning frowned, and said seriously: "Go, I will explain this to him when your young master comes back."
She wasn't sure if this life would be the same as in her dream, but she was terribly afraid that it would be the same as in her dream, so only...
Use this most stupid way.
Find someone to keep an eye on the empress, but if she wants to hang herself or do something else, she can always be stopped.
As for after stopping...
"You don't need to come back after finishing this, go to the gate of the palace and wait for your young master." Wen Ning said again, "Please come over tonight."
Tu Bai rarely saw such a serious look on Wen Ning's face, so he stopped hesitating and left immediately.
Wen Ning sat in front of the low couch for a while, and after a while, pushed open the window.
Snowing.
-
Outside Fengyi Palace, it was also snowing.
The doors and windows of the tea room are tightly closed, but after all, it is in the side hall, and it is snowing outside, so there is a slight coolness soaking in through the small gaps.
It's just that even without these pervasive cool breezes, the atmosphere in the tea room is quite condensed.
The tea by Pei You's side was already cold.
He knelt on the futon, his lowered eyelashes covered the expression in his eyes, and there was only a little mockery on the corners of his lips: "So what the empress means is that you will not be recognized by others for what you did back then." Use it as an excuse to deal with the empress's family, to kill the Wangs and his wife, to kill Wen Tingchun, and to kill the innocent people in Wanggui Village."
Xie Nanzhi sat in the main seat of the tea room, with a new cup of tea in hand: "I'm so disappointed."
Never had hope, so why disappointment?
A sentence was about to reach his mouth, and he finally swallowed it when he thought of the moist eyes of the little girl just now.
"Where is Sanskrit? Empress, Sanskrit has nothing to do with this matter." Pei You raised his eyes.
"It's just a plaything that Chu Heng gave you. You dote on her too much. I'm worried that your secret will be found out by her, so I will tell Chu Heng." Xie Nanzhi raised her chin slightly, without changing her face.
Pei You looked at her with peace in her eyes.
There was a moment of silence in the tea room.
This is slightly different from what Xie Nanzhi expected.
She has heard many people praise him.
Praise him for his luck, calmness and prudence, praise him for being a gentleman with a heart for the world, praise him for being as careful as dust, and planning thousands of miles.
But he is a man with feelings after all.
She killed his adoptive parents and his beloved woman. Even though Wangguizhuang failed, she also lost more than a dozen lives.
He shouldn't be so calm.
Looking at her indifferently, gently rubbing the finger on his hand.
He seems to be very fond of that finger, since he came to the tea room, his left hand has never left it.
Xie Nanzhi's eyes fell on the white jade finger, but Pei You let go of it instead.
He lowered his head and tore off a sachet from his waist.
When Xie Nanzhi saw it, his pupils shrank.
"The empress is planning to kill someone to silence her, and at the same time dragging her sick body to sew a sachet. It's not easy." Pei You stared at her with dark eyes, "The empress is so suspicious, why is she so soft-hearted towards Ah Ning?"
He looked at her without blinking: "She is Wen Tingchun's daughter and my pillow person. If you don't even let go of Wangguizhuang, who has a mentorship with Wen Tingchun, don't worry that she has gone from here to nowhere. Where did Wen Tingchun know your secret?"
Xie Nanzhi's hand holding the teacup slightly tightened.
"According to the empress's behavior, last year's New Year's Eve banquet brought Ah Ning to Fengyi Palace, so she should be killed soon."
Pei You smiled: "Probably the Empress also thought she was ice-snow and cute, and she was moved with compassion?"
Xie Nanzhi clenched the teacup tightly, and was about to speak when Pei You asked again, "Where's Yichun Garden?"
"The people from the palace guards used by the king's house, Sanskrit voices used the Gyeonggi camp, Wangguizhuang is the Jinwuwei, the queen empress, and Yichunyuan, who are they using?"
Xie Nanzhi's face was confused for a moment, his lips moved, but no sound came out.
For a long while, Pei You still stared at her.
Xie Nanzhi had no choice but to speak: "Of course... also Jin Wuwei."
"Yichunyuan is in the east of the city, why don't you use the Jinwu Guard instead of the Fubing Guard?"
"Jin Wuwei takes advantage of it."
Xie Nanzhi straightened her entire back, and already had a series of useful things about the Jinwu Guard in her mind, but Pei You stopped asking.
His shoulders were slightly lowered, his eyebrows were lowered, and he reached for the tea that hadn't been touched since he entered the room.
He still looks the same, that expression, but it seems to be different from before.
Xie Nanzhi had to admit that she underestimated this child.
She can see through Jia and Di, and can handle Xie Changyuan well, but she can't guess what this child born by herself is thinking at this moment.
After all, this is the first meeting.
If Wen Ning is here, not to mention Wen Ning, even if Gu Fei is here, he can know that the elder son of his family has been rubbing the white jade finger before, but he is actually thinking silently. a breakthrough.
And when his shoulders relaxed, and he even had the leisure to take a sip of tea, it meant that the problem that bothered him had been solved.
"The empress's ability to lie is slightly inferior to that of a certain little girl." Pei You took a shallow sip of the already cold tea, and put the tea cup back in the wooden tray, "The empress has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she has never heard of Yichun. Garden?"
"Yichun Garden is not in the east of the city."
