Concubine GL

For three days, the city was closed for three days.

Dozens of imperial forest troops searched the streets and alleys for the whereabouts of Ruyi Ronghua who had escaped from the palace, and the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs was surrounded and guarded so heavily that even a mosquito could not fly in.

It's just that even with such strict search and control, Ruyi Ronghua disappeared without a trace as if she had evaporated from the world.

Emperor Ruhuai was anxious and angry, naturally even more angry, after all, Pumi and the little princess who came here to kiss her, so going to meet her lover privately like this is simply not taking himself and Li Guo seriously, it is simply a huge insult.Had he known this, it would have been better to force the little princess's body early in the morning, so as not to provoke the troublesome situation now.

Ru Huai sat with a livid face in the Rizhao Hall where he rested on weekdays, the tea at his elbow was hot and cold, and he didn't move after changing several cups.Because of this matter, he was already furious, and even the usual pills that could calm and soothe the mind could not make him feel at ease.

Empress Chen persuaded her with good words for a long time, but she was both affectionate and rational, saying "Wang Zhuo has fought for many years and resisted the enemy for thousands of miles. There is hard work without credit" and "The little princess is just ignorant." Mouth was parched, but the emperor still looked so angry, Chen Lai saw it, and felt a little unsure of what to do.

Just as he was a little disappointed and was about to leave first, Lian Nian led a little maid into the palace in a hurry.

"Report to the emperor, and the palace maid said something to report." Lian Changnian said flatteringly with his back arched.

Ru Huai raised her eyelids, stood up and walked to the little maid: "Say, what's the matter?"

The little maid was not stage-frightened, she saluted respectfully, and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, a servant girl brought by Ruyi Ronghua sneaked past the main hall of Chongyang Palace today, and was spotted by the imperial concubine. After asking a few words, who would have thought that the servant girl would shake off a fringed sachet in a panic, which was probably embroidered with Buddha's pity flowers unique to Pumi. The empress knew that Ruyi Ronghua was involved in this matter, so she ordered the servant girl to come and look for it. Let the emperor go."

These incidents happened one after another, which disturbed Ru Huai's mind, he didn't say much, coughed a few times and went to Chongyang Palace with his hands behind his back.Seeing this, Chen Lai took a sip of tea to moisten her dry throat, and hurriedly followed along.

When Ruhuai and Empress Chen arrived at Chongyang Palace together, Qi Wuxue was standing solemnly in front of the pumi maidservant who was prostrate on the ground and trembling. When she saw the emperor, she saluted and handed over the things in her hands to him. .

It is indeed an extremely delicate sachet, with three budding pure white Buddha pity flowers hovering above, white flowers on a blue background, and golden tassels hanging straight down, pure and beautiful, with a kind of pure and romantic girlish feeling.

Ru Huai glanced at it and held it tightly in his hand, walked a few steps forward, threw the sachet in front of Pumi's maidservant, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this from your family Ronghua?"

The maid was startled by the sachet that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she raised her head to look at Ru Huai with a gloomy face, swallowed her saliva, carefully rolled her eyes and glanced at Qi Wuxue who was beside the emperor, seeing that she was calm and composed, My heart was much calmer, so I nodded and said in the unprofessional Central Plains language: "Report to the emperor, yes."

Ru Huai folded his hands and turned his back to the maid, and asked after a moment of silence, "But for that sinner, Wang Zhuo?"

The maid was a little hesitant, so she glanced at Qi Wuxue hastily again, Qi Wuxue blinked slowly and expressionlessly, and the maid hurriedly fell on the ground and returned: "Slave... I don't know, I just heard it a few days ago. The princess often read the name of the general when making it, probably... probably."

Ru Huai was silent for a long while after listening to this intermittent answer.Qi Wuxue also lowered her eyes and said nothing, but Chen Lai's heart was on fire and she was so anxious that she glanced at the emperor's dignified expression, then at Pumi's maidservant kneeling on the ground, almost biting her lip.

After deliberating for a long time, Chen Lai opened his mouth slowly, with a hoarse voice: "You bastard, lowly maid, talking nonsense." Then she turned to Ru Huai and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has to be decided after Ronghua is caught, otherwise Wouldn't the easy decision make the people in the harem panic? The matter of Rong Hua and Wang Zhuo has not yet been confirmed, so I beg the emperor to wait patiently."

Qi Wuxue glanced lightly at Chen Lai's slightly bent neck, and said with a twitch of the corner of her mouth: "The empress's words are reasonable, but this lowly servant girl is Rong Hua's confidant, so she must know what Rong Hua is thinking. Therefore, what she said is unbelievable. Your Majesty, I'd rather believe in something than nothing."

The empress frowned slightly, she looked at Qi Wuxue from the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but panicked, she gritted her teeth secretly, thinking how to retort, Ru Huai finally spoke.

He took a deep breath, turned around, his eyes were like torches, which made people feel inexplicably terrified: "Okay, I know how to get lost." He said, without any trace, he said to Chen Mo, who bowed respectfully and respectfully, "These days the queen It's annoying too, let's go back and rest earlier."

Chen Lai closed her eyes, she had no choice but to nod her head and said: "Then the concubine will leave first."

After the queen left, Qi Wuxue also sent Pumi's servant girl who was kneeling on the ground trembling back to face the wall.She lifted the corner of her skirt and walked up the steps slowly, sitting sideways beside Ru Huai, poured tea for her with a smile, filtered the tea leaves, and the green tea was clear and thorough.

"What's the imperial concubine's opinion on this matter?" Ru Huai finally opened his mouth slowly, but his face was still a little ugly.

Qi Wuxue raised her eyes pretending to be surprised, then smiled and said: "The concubine grew up in the countryside, and naturally she is not as well-informed as the emperor, and the queen is comprehensive. Moreover, this matter also involves Li Guo and Northwest Pu. It is even more difficult for ministers and concubines to speak casually about state affairs between Mi and Mi."

Ru Huai smiled slightly: "You will excuse yourself."

Qi Wuxue also smiled, and slowly peeled the orange and yellow tangerines with her slender hands, and said casually: "The concubine doesn't care about the safety of Ruyi Ronghua and General Wang Zhuo, what the concubine cares most about is the emperor's dragon body." The peeled orange petals were placed on the snow-white porcelain plate that Huai Sang handed over, and placed in front of Ru Huai, and asked earnestly, "Has the emperor taken the elixir made by the previous prescription on time recently?"

Ru Huai paused and said, "I've been disturbed for the past few days, but I don't pay much attention to it."

Qi Wuxue sighed, and said with regret: "Such trivial things are not worth the emperor's getting out of his habit. Taking the pills regularly for a long time has extremely obvious effects of prolonging life and health care. I hope the emperor will never forget it."

Ru Huai nodded, and said to the eunuch standing beside him: "Lian Changnian, please remind me carefully!"

Lian Niannian hurriedly answered "yes".

Qi Wuxue raised her chin, and asked Huaisang, "Do you still remember when Taoist Master Lingxu of Yuanling Mountain came back from traveling?"

This Yuanling Mountain is the most spiritual mountain in the continuous Moshan area to the north of the capital. In winter, the mountains are full of greenery and flowers. It is said that gods often come and go here. A simple palace was built under the feet.Of course, this Daoist Lingxu is naturally Qi Wuxue's childcare for pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, and he is very good at playing tricks.

Huai Sang understood and said: "Probably a few days ago, I heard that during his travels in southern Fujian, he brought back many folk methods of longevity in southern Fujian. It's just that Taoist priests don't have much free time, and they are about to retreat."

Not surprisingly, Ru Huai's eyes lit up in an instant. It was a pleasure talking with this Taoist priest Lingxu before. He has a wide range of knowledge and is quite insightful about mysterious things. After returning from his travels, he must have improved to a higher level.

Qi Wuxue naturally saw Ruhuai's attitude, and said along the way: "Your Majesty has wasted too much attention on Ronghua's affairs these past few days, why don't you go to Yuanling Mountain to rest for a few days, and talk with the Taoist priest about scriptures and Taoism, your body and mind will be exhausted." Wouldn't it be great to be promoted. The concubine immediately sent someone to inform Daoist Lingxu so that he could wait for the emperor's arrival."

"The noble concubine's words are reasonable." Qi Wuxue's words hit your heart, of course he nodded in agreement, "Since the Taoist priest will be going to retreat soon, it's not too late, I will leave for Yuanling Mountain Palace tomorrow."

After hearing this, Qi Wuxue pursed her lips and smiled, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Finish." Probably feeling Qi Wuxue's "true" care, Ru Huai's expression softened a lot, and he put a piece of orange flesh in his mouth and said.

Qi Wuxue blinked, and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that Yin Wanyi of Biqin Pavilion had a deep relationship with General Wang Zhuo's brother and sister since she was a child, and they are the last two left by the Wang family, so she must be very concerned. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep at night, she was quite sick. Although the concubine and concubine were not very close, after all, they were very close, so they were naturally concerned about it. Regardless of this, Yin Wanyi is the rebirth of a lucky star, if she loses even a little bit... "Speaking Qi Wuxue looked at Ru Huai, and stopped talking.

Ru Huai glanced at her and said, "So you don't think you can punish Wang Zhuo, do you?"

Qi Wuxue shrugged indifferently: "Naturally, Wang Zhuo has nothing to do with the courtiers and concubines, and the ministers and concubines are only tied to the emperor's dragon body."

Ru Huai smiled, got up and said: "Okay, since you said that Wanyi is suffering from worry, I'll go over and visit her, it's a bit of relief."

Qi Wuxue also stood up, bent over and bowed with a clever smile: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully."

When the emperor arrived at Biqin Pavilion, Wang Yin was concentrating on copying the Buddhist scriptures that Dongfang Bai asked his servant Yueru to bring, when he heard the sound of "The emperor is coming", he rolled his eyes, and calmly picked up the cold tea at hand, He casually splashed a few drops on the rice paper, dried it gently, and rubbed his eyes with his hand, and it turned red in a moment.

So when Emperor Ru Huai saw Wang Yin, Wang Yin had tears in his eyes and he was in pain, he remembered what Qi Wuxue said before, his heart trembled, and he couldn't bear to help him up.

It's night now, and Ru Huai, who has been troubled all day long, is also a little tired, so she only comforted her a few words, then got up and drove back to the bedroom.

After the emperor left, Wang Yin stretched himself, the emperor just comforted him, he didn't mention the matter of punishing Ruyi and his brother, and he was not as angry as he was during the day, presumably Qi Wuxue and Empress Chen's ears played a role.Naturally, I couldn't blatantly cry and plead for mercy in front of the emperor, and only asked others to be heard.

Naturally, Wang Yin had already heard about the commotion in Chongyang Palace this evening, and Qi Wuxue didn't inform her about it in advance, but she easily guessed the purpose of her move as if she and Qi Wuxue were connected with each other.

The story behind the so-called sachet must be false, it was just a play for Empress Chen.It is said that he was extremely nervous at the time and tried his best to offend his brother.

Not long after the emperor left, Huai Sang came to Biqin Pavilion alone, and told Wang Yin everything that Qi Wuxue asked, and it really was almost the same as what Wang Yin had guessed before.

Wang Yin picked up the copied Buddhist scriptures and glanced at them, then put them down, looked out the window at the moon and stars, thought for a while and said: "The night is dark and windy, rumors are the most confusing. Tomorrow, tomorrow morning the emperor will I will go to Yuanling Mountain to discuss the Dao." Wang Yin said to himself, then laughed inexplicably, and turned to Yi Chuan and said, "Yi Chuan, go out and tell the newcomer Rong'er that General Wang and Ruyi Ronghua are here. The secret meeting at the edge of Xiling has been caught and is being held in the prison at the moment, and will be executed soon. Let this court lady spread the word as much as possible, just a little bit, don't say that she is from Biqin Pavilion."

Yi Chuan smiled and nodded tacitly: "I would like to follow Wan Yi's words."
