Chapter 544 King Shu enters the capital.
The Unseen Palace.
Empress Wei after listening to the bottom of the people gnashing teeth report, face a little more pale, but not much anger between the eyebrows, only a little tired said, “Although He Wenqiong is followed by his majesty’s old man, but now his majesty is about to go to the throne, the crown prince it is seriously injured, he is worried about the future of the He family, fell to the side of the king of Su is not surprising, in the end he has nothing to do with the king of Shu, but his son is about to Shang Changxing. ”
Said here with a bitter sigh, “And he is not willing to openly support King Su, only willing to slightly let the water, obviously still remembering His Majesty, on our side to save a line of hope!”
Seeing that her companion had nothing else to report, Xinqian hinted that she should retire and then said to the Empress, “But Mrs. Xu has blocked King Shu’s participation in the race for the throne with her own…. She stopped the King of Shu from competing for the throne, and now our only choices are Lu Hehao and the King of Xiang the King of Xiang, like the King of Su, is a successor, and if he’s qualified to compete for the throne, then the King of Su is even more qualified! In other words, we can only choose Lu Hehao now!”
She knew that Empress Wei wasn’t someone who couldn’t let go of personal grudges, but the problem was, “Lu Hehao’s reputation in the court and the countryside is not good, so I’m afraid it’s hard for him to be recognized by all the princes! If King Su can’t come back, and the princes don’t have a better candidate, they’ll have no choice but to accept it. But now He Wenqiong wants to release Su Wang to return, at that time, only afraid …”
After all, the impression that King Su gave to the courtiers was so much better than Lu Hehao!
“King Su can come in if he wants to enter the city!” Empress Wei straightened her sleeves without much expression and said indifferently, “Actually, this is a good thing: before, he had been roaming around, and this palace couldn’t do much with him! After he enters the city …”
Xinqian quickly reminded, “I’m afraid that since He Wenqiong is willing to let him into the city, he may not be willing to help us deal with him.”
“Then let He Wenqiong have to help us deal with him!” Empress Wei’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent: her son is still lying on his sickbed enduring pain, why should King Su be able to be fine? Still presuming to vie for the throne the Empress slowly exhaled, and said in her heart, “Chuang’er, don’t worry, for my mother’s sake, I guarantee that that King Su will never be better off than you!!!!!!!!”
She fixed her mind and hid the indignation in her heart, and said to Xinxian: ”The big house of the He family has sent such important news, so it must not go unappreciated! I’m afraid that it will attract attention since the matter is not yet finalized. This way, you take some more herbs and go to the Qibao Palace, comfort He Xiuyi and tell her that as long as we win, she definitely doesn’t need to worry about her future!”
Xin Fen should go down and do it.
He Xiu Yi received this promise after the natural joy, her disease was originally caused by the heart of worry and fear, there is a disease of the heart also needs medicine, now worry all go, but in the blink of an eye on the good up.
And she was sick before, not only Empress Wei allowed Lian to visit the palace, a companion into the palace, but also can not help but come to warm up a bit especially after Lian came, concubine Xue and others also hope to be able to from He Xiuyi here to inquire about some of the situation outside, although they can’t do anything right now, but listen to the wind, is better than not knowing anything, is not it better to know the fate of the heavens? Although they can’t do anything right now, it’s better to listen to the news than not knowing anything at all, isn’t it?
So He Xiuyi’s improvement can not be hidden from these people, concubine Xue is the most unwilling to accompany the tragedy of the Duanhua Emperor, see the problem, immediately on the side of the question, “Your Highness this day looks really good, the spirit of this look also healthy up, but even Mrs. said to you what good news? But I don’t know if you can give concubine these people also say a few words, so that we also accompany to have fun?”
Upon hearing this, the group of people who came to visit together, Tian Baolin, Zhong Meiren, and Jiang Cai Ren, also revealed a look of anticipation.
“Are you still not clear about the current situation, Sister Xue?” Although the five of them entered the palace together, they were not particularly familiar with each other outside of the palace, and at most, they were on the scene to see a nod of friendship.
So naturally, He Xiuyi can’t share something so important with them right now not to mention that if she told them, their mother’s family isn’t the He family, so how can she help them? Therefore, she only avoided the important matters and said perfunctorily, “Even if there is some good news, what does it have to do with these miserable people of ours? It’s just that I haven’t seen my mother for a few days, so I couldn’t bear to ask her to worry about me, so I had to put on some energy!”
“So!” Concubine Xue and others heard the words are showing clear suspicion and disappointment, just on the status they are not how Xioyi, on the importance of the Empress as well as the mother’s family, but also to go to Hexiu Yi is extremely far, this will even though very much want to follow up, but in Hexiu Yi obviously changed the topic of the case in the end, do not dare to force, but only exchanged each other’s eyes, forced a smile, “Niangniang is really a pure filial piety! ”
He Xiu Yi looked at the four of them, on the age of their own as if, fifteen years old girls, looks beautiful, fair skin, all over the body overflowing with youthful atmosphere, so by the Duanhua Emperor involved is really a pity.
It’s just that this is not something that she, a Xiu Yi, can help with, and in fact, even she herself can’t say that the future will be all right because what if it’s King Su who wins?
So at this moment, although the heart is a little weak and intolerant, in the end did not say anything that should not be said, only smiled and said a few words with them jewelry and clothing, to see the time is almost the same, on the tea to send off the guests.
Concubine Xue and the others excused themselves from the main hall of Qibao Palace, their faces not looking too good.
Walked halfway, looked at the road no one else, bell beauty can not help but raise the sleeve half cover the mouth, some indignation and some aggrieved said, “even Mrs. long gone out of the palace back, xiu yi lady but to the corner of the eye this is the color of the eyebrows are happy, it seems that really is the Queen’s Queen understanding, know that xiu yi lady this time of the disease is to miss her family, so even the Mrs. one, xiu yi lady on the great well! ”
“She has a good mother’s family, she doesn’t worry about retreating in any situation, then of course she rejoices!” Concubine Xue was the most pampered and radical of the five, and was already harboring hostility towards He Xiuyi due to jealousy, but now, after listening to Zhong Meiren’s words, she gave a cold laugh and said, “It’s just a pity that those of us who are really suffering can only live one day at a time!”
The remaining three did not make a sound, between the look, are revealed on the He Xiuyi dissatisfaction it is no wonder, originally they were five people into the palace before the slave to make the servant girl, into the palace after the scene but immediately see the difference, He Xiuyi high position, favored, valued, and now the emperor is going to be a tragedy, she also has the opportunity to live, but also called the companions! Discover, do companion heart can not feel good?
“We are all people who follow His Majesty.” Tian Baolin has the most sheepish temper among the five, and this time, seeing that the atmosphere is not right, he wants to say a few words to ease the situation, but also to comfort himself, “If Auntie Xiu Yi can be safe and sound, are … we also able to get a little bit of light?”
“Tian sister you are also too naive!” But the words did not fall, concubine Xue already wringing her handkerchief snorted, “Do not forget the rules of this dynasty, childless concubines, unless the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager that three pity, open licenses, or else are sent to the palace waiting for the death of the life! Even though they were once neighboring sisters, when the Empress Dowager ordered Fu to return to the Imperial City from the palace, who of the other concubines got the light of day?”
Tian Baolin pursed his lips, and gloom flashed in his eyes.
“But, what can we do now?” Has not been speaking Jiang Cailian sighed quietly, whispered, “In this imperial city, we such concubines, in the end, is only inconspicuous role just … right now the former dynasty and the harem winds of the clouds, where have we talk place?!”
Xue concubine and the others all stiffened when they heard this, and coincidentally, clenched their pads!
These young concubines confused in the road ahead, the early twilight, not far from the palace city of a quiet alley, driving into an inconspicuous oil wall car.
The horse pulling the carriage is just an ordinary wornout horse, and the driver is also ordinaryonly when the carriage stops at the bottom of the alley in front of a door with a pair of lanterns hanging in the Chinese character for good fortune, the halfused green cloth curtains are lifted, and a figure wrapped in fox fur jumps down from the carriage with some stiff movements, and many people dressed in white and strong clothes wearing . Hats!
Days of heavy snow, inside and outside the imperial capital was covered with snow, the robes on these people and the snow into one color, without a careful look, even close at hand, it is difficult to notice.
But the surrounding steeply cohesive solemnity, but like a famous sword will be sheathed, like a strong bow will lead the string.
Originally light and fluttering snowflakes, also seems to be stained with a different kind of heavy.
There is a touch of calm.
The foxfurred man, however, ignored the change, and only reached out a hand, slender and white, but with distinct callus marks at the knuckles, pressed the hood on his head, and lifted his step to enter the door.
And those whiterobed men didn’t stop this in the least, but instead looked around more and more alertly.
Cold nights are prone to twilight, and soon twilight like ink pours over the earth, covering the snowcapped peaks.
Half an hour later, Jihoufu’s Su Shaoge received news: King Su has entered the city safely and is being housed in a mansion that has nothing to do with the Su family, and was not detected when the Empress and Empress searched for Pei Yourui all over the city!
“Let him settle down for the night!” Su Shaoge rose up with a long smile, looking out the window into the vast night, sweeping away the elegant and noble, as if he was the commanderinchief who was about to go to war, his sharpness flickering, his temperament clanging, with his hands in the air, “From now on, it’s time to tell the world who is the most suitable new ruler!”
Meanwhile, the Marquis Yan’s mansion in the twilight was welcoming an unexpected guest: Pei Yourui!
“Where has righteous sister been for the past two days?” Mr. and Mrs. Jian Xu Bai were both shocked when they looked at the appearance revealed after the wind hat was lifted, “Empress Dowager has been looking for you everywhere so far …”
Said here afraid Pei Yourui misunderstanding, busy explaining, “We are all very worried about you!”
“I suddenly lost consciousness that day, and woke up again already made for the Burning Quinoa Hall.” Pei Yourui’s face was a bit pale, but from the look of her qi, she had not been treated poorly in the past two days of her disappearance, and at this moment subconsciously rubbing her belly, she said in a low voice, “Being able to come over this day is also because the Burning Quinoa Hall wants to talk to you guys alone!”
Jian Xubai couple looked at each other, there are doubts in their eyes Song Yixiao glanced behind Pei Yourui as if the rich little son of A eleven, did not say hello to him, only to go forward to hold Pei Yourui, gently smiled and said, “Sister the past two days outside hard, now back here, like their own home, and with me to rest a bit! Come with me and take a rest! Chao Ping, they also miss you a lot!”
Pei Yourui is not a particularly thoughtful person, since falling into the hands of the A eleven, although the A eleven has been very polite and accommodating to her, but because she can not trust the A eleven’s sake, the heart is always taut a string at this moment, finally see the Jian Xubai couple, I know that this brother and sisterinlaw are all calculated, this breath only relaxed, but it is Half do not want to stay a piece with A eleven again!
Smell nodded without hesitation!
Seeing Song YiXiao guiding PeiYouRui away, Jian Xubai sized up A11 and smiled faintly, “Uninstructed?”
