Chapter 205 Anger
Chapter 205 Dark Hatred (Part [-])
What does Huo Yunwan want to say?Xue Ling thought about it for a while and found no reason, so he just put it on the desk and didn't bother to care about it.
The Imperial Forest Guard in Beijing has been firmly controlled by the Huo family since three years ago, even though Huo Yunsheng lost his job, the power is still there.Ordinary people, who want to shake, have almost no possibility, except Wei Lang.But Wei Lang and Huo's family are afraid of each other, and if they want to move, there must be a reason.If there is nothing wrong with it, the courtiers will not avoid criticism, and the members of the Huo family will not allow it. Naturally, he will not easily cause public anger.
Unless someone pushes Wei Lang.Let him know that the Huo family has to move.The best thing is that the people from Huo's family pushed it by themselves, wanting to push out the feeling of "what can you do to me".
According to the results of these two days, there should be no mistakes.The fact that Huo Yunwan was able to deliver things meant that everything was safe in the palace, so Xue Ling calmed down a little.But in her plan, Huo Yunsheng went back, and the matter was only halfway.The remaining half is in Li Aniu's house.It's just that he went to Li Aniu's residence several times, but still didn't see anyone. Guo Chi said that he was injured when he caught a thief, and his superiors took him away. He didn't know when he would return.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Wei Lang was too suspicious.After all, Li Aniu was a member of the Yulin Guard, and if he was treated as arranged by Huo Yunsheng and dealt with directly, it would be unknown.If it's not the desired result, the entire village...will be gone.So much so that she put her matter of going to Xianbei on hold for the time being, and waited wholeheartedly for news from Li Aniu.
After several days, the Empress Dowager's canonization ceremony has been set as a holiday.Those looking into Yongchun Palace naturally moved their eyes elsewhere.The little maid handed over a letter, saying it was from the master.Huo Yunwan didn't take it apart, and moved it directly onto the Phoenix candle, and didn't throw it away until the flames almost engulfed her fingers.
The grandmother who was close to her turned around to get the pen and ink, Huo Yunwan said lazily: "Forget it, there is no need to reply to this letter".
In a few days, her father will bring Yao'er in in the name of visiting elder sister.At that time, I'm afraid I will have a good cry, saying that the emperor doesn't believe in me anymore, and I deliberately set up a trick to lure the Huo family into the bait. In fact, I just want to find a reason to stuff my Huang family into the Royal Forest Guard to divide the power of the Huo family. .
I don't know if Huo Zhun will believe it?It should be.A little while ago, didn't the emperor confiscate his mother's family just now, or did he intend to promote the Huang family and trample on the Huo family's status in Beijing.
Someone came in and whispered a few words, Huo Yunwan grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and said, "Well done."
She looked up at the clouds leisurely outside the window, a little lost in thought.I don't know what the girl surnamed Xue looked like when she received the box, and when will she come to find herself again?But if you don't come, it's not easy to rush yourself.I have to go and see that girl Xuese later, I heard that Wei Lang didn't go to Yaoguang Hall for a long time, and the servant girl died and didn't have any new ones, so I sent a grandmother to deliver meals, thinking about it was terrified.It's also very pitiful. I don't know if Wei Lang forced him to ask something, maybe he did.But what can I ask, how can anyone in the palace know that she is going to leave the palace by such a coincidence?Even the Empress Dowager only found out after the fact.
In the Yaoguang Palace, Xue Se curled up on the bed all day long, her humble body flew up to the branches.Except for the branch that was willing to support her, not only would she not like the others, but she would only have endless disdain.Even if Sheng Chong is in front of him, the Yaoguang Palace is just empty, not to mention losing power today.The so-called Emperor Xiaogan is just a lie spread outside, but here, there are only dozens of lives hovering around.
The only gratifying thing is that the grandma is not in trouble, and the three meals a day are well served.People, the most important bones of the body, will be used in the future, and they cannot be ruined for the time being.
No one told a single lie, including Xue Se, who never told anyone that she was going out of the palace, even the little maid Fang Qing who was with her was hiding it from her.So much so that she thought over and over these days, who exactly, who knew that she was going out of the palace.Even I never expected that the emperor would allow me to go out of the palace to worship.
The cause of this incident was that Mrs. Su sent a letter to say, "Probably because it was rainy upstream, the river in the outskirts of the city swelled a few days ago, and most of my mother's tomb was washed away. Su's mansion has invited a master to repair it. Just invite The great master said that this matter may damage the blessings of future generations, and also asked the empress to chant sutras a lot in the palace to eliminate disasters and difficulties."
Naturally, she didn't dare to be negligent. The villagers felt bad luck when her mother was walking on the New Year's Eve. The land of water was buried hastily, thinking that if there is wealth in the future, then choose a blessed land.Life has undergone tremendous changes, and today she is doted on by thousands of people, but she can't burn a few paper money for her mother.
Xuese is inevitably frustrated, not happy to meet people, and doesn't have many friends anyway.But there must be rules, morning and evening are inevitable, Yingying and Yanyan in the empress's palace are always laughing, she can't intervene, she just sits in the corner and listens silently.Most of the time, I just laughed it off, but that day, I fell in love with it.A concubine said, "The heat is getting worse", and a beauty said, "No, the summer solstice will be here soon."The queen smiled gently and generously as always: "I used to be at home, and the Summer Solstice Festival is not a small day. It is also a time to worship the ancestors and pray to the gods."All the people agreed, "That's right, who doesn't hope that there will be no disasters and no diseases, and there will be more than enough every year."
Xue Se lowered her eyes, she knew more about the Summer Solstice Festival than these empresses.Among the people, it is a busy time for farming.People who watch the sky and eat must pray to God to hang down the curtain and their ancestors to bless them.The coming of the summer solstice is extremely important, not only for harvesting spring seeds, but also for starting preparations for autumn storage.The mother also wants... She suddenly remembered that the tomb of the mother was repaired by Mrs. Su, and she couldn't leave the palace by herself, even if she burned some paper money?The emperor seemed to be very kind to himself, and secretly burning some paper money, shouldn't it be a big request.
She didn't expect Wei Lang to agree to leave the palace, and she remembered Wei Lang's confession to avoid people's eyes and eyes. After the servant went back to the room, he didn't even go out. Yuan Bao hid and secretly folded gold foil paper of.For fear of being discovered, there are only a few small ones, not enough for a basket, so I thought about going to the street and asking the emperor's guards to help me buy some.There is nothing wrong with all these things.How could it be, how could anyone know that he was leaving the palace?Why the emperor didn't believe him, maybe, maybe it was his guards who said it.
How long will she be stuck here with the rustling of the night wind?Will those maids and eunuchs turn into ghosts and come to claim their lives?
The Deoksugung Palace has been roughly arranged, and the eunuchs and maids are still picking up some daily decorations in the warehouse, and the empress dowager moved to the palace, which is not a trivial matter.The auspicious mansion of the House of Internal Affairs has also been rushed to completion, and it was sent to the Empress Dowager Shengci Zhaoshu, but the Empress Dowager looked at it for a long time without saying a word.The kneeling man didn't dare to breathe, for fear that something he did was not to his liking.
Fortunately, the emperor came quickly, and said: "Why are there so many people kneeling, but what is not done well is also due to the rush of time. They are a little impatient, so they just need to change it. Empress, be careful."
The Empress Dowager Zhao Shu looked away from the auspicious clothes, and said: "The emperor came here, and there is no one who can pass it on. Get up and go back. Whether it is good or not, the queen mother doesn't care about it."
The little eunuch brought a chair for Wei Lang to sit down, and the palace maid quickly brought the freshly brewed tea.After receiving the Queen Mother's order, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Empress Dowager Zhaoshu fiddled with the eighteen sons in her hand and said, "The emperor has not taken the initiative to sit here at Ai's house for a long time, so it is rare to come here today."
"It turned out that the son was unfilial. If it wasn't for Xue Se, he wouldn't be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the mother."
"What kind of pains can the Ai family have, but in the end it is for the sake of the emperor's reputation, helping to cover up one or two things. Now that the matter is over, it is over. The emperor insists on keeping it as a cat and dog, and no one dares to stop it .But in the harem, you always have to give the queen some face. How long has it been since you entered the gate of Yongchun Palace?"
"The empress mother taught me that. I will never let Yun Wan down."
"Go ahead."
"The son resigned."
Empress Zhaoshu rubbed her fingertips, the feeling of touching the gold and silver threads on the auspicious clothes had not completely subsided.Finally, no one calls him concubine anymore. In this palace, for women, only the word "Hou" is pleasant to the ear.But his own son didn't understand.
And after the son became the emperor, he didn't want to be a son anymore.But she didn't want an emperor, otherwise, why bother to lose the emperor back then.
Fortunately, Huo Yunwan understood that although she was begging herself because she was afraid that the potato would be hot, at least she did not let down the friendship that reached out to her back then.What happened at that time was to win over the Huo family, but it also gave Huo Yunwan a way out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor is here, you can prepare yourself."The little eunuch ran out of breath and came to inform Huo Yunwan.
The maid below was also very happy, since that foxy son Xuese climbed up the dragon bed, the emperor hasn't come to Yongchun Palace for a long time.I said it was not a good thing, and the empress refused to send it out.
Huo Yunwan bowed and gave a salute: "The emperor has had dinner, but the concubine has not. The dishes in the small kitchen are all the emperor's favorite dishes."
Wei Lang stared at Huo Yunwan for a while, and said, "Is it all my favorite food? Wan'er is in touch with me, and knows that I'm coming."
Without the emperor's order, how dare Huo Yunwan get up?But shyly said: "Your majesty is talking nonsense, the dishes in Yongchun Palace...everyday are made with the emperor's favorite food, and my concubines... I am afraid that the emperor's sudden arrival will not suit your taste"
"What are you doing bent over, I said earlier that Wan'er doesn't need to be polite."Wei Lang smiled and helped Huo Yunwan up, as if he was just joking.There is no such thing as mind-to-heart communication in the world, only tongue-to-mouth communication.I'm afraid he knew that someone would call him over.
When did my mother concubine and queen stand together?
Huo Yunwan put a chopstick of pickled cabbage silver sprouts into Wei Lang's bowl, and said, "Your Majesty, taste it quickly, my concubine has been picking it all afternoon."
"Wan'er worked hard, but it tastes better than other people's hands-on food."Wei Lang stuffed it into his mouth, not forgetting to joke.It was he who dismissed the members of the Huang family, so Mr. Huang approached Huo Zhun?
Huo Yunwan threw away her chopsticks coquettishly: "The emperor is used to making fun of his concubines, if this is the case, it wouldn't be the case that he would not come to his concubines for half a month."
"It's my fault, it's not a good training for Empress Dowager Gang."Wei Lang seemed to be the same prince, coaxing his concubine.What are the people of Huang Huo and Huo's family joining hands to do? Could it be that they want to empty themselves as the emperor?
"It's also the emperor's filial piety, and the queen mother can be regarded as repaying it..." Huo Yunwan knelt on the ground in horror, and said: "My concubine made a mistake, please forgive me."
The maid who was waiting on the side also hurriedly knelt on the ground, oh my God, fortunately the queen didn't finish the sentence, otherwise she would not be able to live if she heard it.
Wei Lang let out a long breath, dropped his chopsticks and said, "Forget it, I still have some papers to approve, I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Huo Yunwan put her head on the ground: "The concubine will send it to Your Majesty."
Wei Lang couldn't tell whether the fear in her words was real or not, so he smiled and said, "Get up, if my queen makes any slips of her tongue, don't slip her words."He said that he filled a bowl of soup and used some.
A while later, Huo Yunwan sent Wei Lang to the gate of the palace.
Wei Lang lightly brushed the Queen's ears and hair on her temples, and whispered, "What did the Queen go to Dowager Shu's palace that night, and if she has any grievances, just come and tell me. From now on, the Dowager will be the Empress Dowager, so it's better not to go there so as not to disturb The Queen Mother is pure. Yun Wan will always be my queen."
The last eunuch also walked away, Huo Yunwan turned around and entered the room with a smile, the dishes on the table were still there.That dish of pickled cabbage and silver sprouts was just picked up by a chopstick.
She never said that she wanted to be a queen, not to mention it was always so far away.But it doesn't matter, Wei Lang is alive, she is the queen.
As for what she did in the Empress Dowager's palace on the night of the incident, of course she was asking the Empress Dowager to show her mercy, no, she was still a concubine at that time.
As a queen, she neglected her duties, and she didn't even know that a concubine slipped out of the palace privately and was assassinated in the street.Fortunately, my brother found out and sent the news quickly.Yulinwei, it is inevitable that they are better informed. .
But so what if the news came, let's ignore it, say that the management of the harem is not effective, let's ignore it, he is the emperor's favorite person, and he is the only one who loves him for more than a month, and the others haven't seen Tianyan for almost a month.She was in a dilemma, so she could only quickly beg Concubine Shu for mercy.And brother Huo Yunsheng had already asked clearly that Mrs. Xue was going out to visit her mother's grave, and her filial piety was commendable. Presumably the emperor was also grateful for this, so he was confused for a while.
Maybe, I can be confused enough to make you the Queen Mother.
Every word is true, every sentence is true, she really doesn't know if Xuese will leave the palace, let alone when she said Shen Shiyou, it's not a group of women in the harem clamoring for the summer solstice to pray for blessings, and after lunch, they hang around the palace gates The sachets don't disperse until sunset.At that time, sister Xuese claimed that she would not be sick, and she co-authored it because of this.
She was a bit apprehensive, the emperor actually allowed his own woman to go out of the palace privately, presumably some talkative eunuch said something like "Mrs. Xue secretly cried for her mother several times".
Li Aniu has woken up, but he doesn't know where he is.All I know is that this place is magnificent and magnificent, compared with the dilapidated land on the outskirts of the city, it seems like a fairy palace and hell.The sword wound on the chest is almost healed, but one of the ribs was broken, and the doctor said that it needs to be taken care of for a few days.
Outsiders guarded him and refused to let him go out. I don't know what happened to Guo Chi, and Miss Qi San who had an appointment that day. She should know the reason why she didn't have such a big event.I was also very stupid that day, catching petty thieves was fine, but when I saw that professionally dressed killer who couldn't recognize the accident, I went up to him and lost half my life.
Lone Star changed several people to make indirect comments, but still did not find anything suspicious from Li A Niu's mouth. The other brothers went to check the people around them, and there were no loopholes.It's rare that this person still knows Su Yan, saying he's from the same place.Back then when he came to Beijing together, he was the top student in Su Yan's high school, but this person was still a city patrol soldier.It doesn't have to be used, this person's skill is just that.But when the Cypriots entered the Royal Forest Guard, the general fortress was reasonable and reasonable. They either made meritorious service or passed the exam, so the emperor was not easy to do.
Wei Lang listened to all the things he found out, but he didn't ask anyone to dig into Li A Niu's background.As long as it has nothing to do with Huo Yunsheng, it can be filled temporarily.Whether the martial arts is high or not, you can practice again, but it is suitable for this kind of thing, if you miss it, you will never have it again.And the person Su Yan, whom he thought he was looking at, was basically foolish and loyal.
The matter has to be concluded at this point, Wei Lang must be a mess, but he didn't grasp the slightest clue.He can only deduce who designed this game by guessing.At first, I thought it was undoubtedly the Huo family, but now I feel that the Huang family is also inseparable.
The people in the palace saw with their own eyes that Huo Yunwan went to the Concubine's Palace when Xue Se had just returned to the palace that night, no one knew exactly what she said.But later Concubine Shu went to the Yaoguang Palace to thunder her wrist, and afterwards Concubine Shu suddenly started to speak for Huo Yunwan. He didn't believe there was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing he could do. That's all.
Both of these two were the main figures who helped him ascend the throne at that time. Afterwards, the Huo family's military power did not fall, and the Huang family was in the official department to cover the sky with one hand.There are occasional intersections between the two, but it's just for mutual convenience.Most of the time, the well water does not violate the river water, but now they use the same thing to persecute the emperor.
Wei Lang lay on the chair, not daring to admit his conjecture for a long time.My mother's family actually colluded with the Huo family?
He didn't think it was impossible.In the past year, there have been many conflicts with Huang Jiaben. The emperor cannot always obey a woman when he employs people.In addition, as the Huang family grows, it is inevitable that there will be a few black apples, some will be resigned from their posts, and some will have their heads cut off.Maybe because of this, the Huang family felt that life would not be as smooth as when he first became the throne.If you want to make a fuss about something, remind yourself.It just so happened that the Huo family also had this idea, so it was only natural to stand together.
He felt that this idea was extremely scary.The imperial forest army in central Beijing is in the hands of the Huo family, and only half of Shen Yuanzhou in the northwest is in the hands, and the [-] army closest to the capital is the Huang family holding the military talisman.I had never worried about this before, it was terrible.
Xue Ling finally waited for Li A Niu, looking good, packing things with Guo Chi.Seeing her coming, he dropped his things and came over, explaining the reason for that day, and also said that he was going to move.It was a lady who was rescued that day, and she has been recuperating in a very rich place for the past few days.It was a blessing in disguise, not to mention getting a reward, and no longer having to patrol the streets, but I will follow the emperor in the future.
Xue Ling put down the big stone in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he said a few words of congratulations.She didn't dare to ask Li A Niu if she regretted that day, because she was afraid that she would not get the answer she wanted.I just secretly decided not to do this kind of thing again.
After chatting for a while, Li Aniu asked embarrassedly: "I came back yesterday, but you didn't come. I went to Tao Ji with Brother Guo to read it first. Others said that they don't sell sword books. What's the matter?"
"Yes, yes, he is very anxious. I told him to wait, practice sword practice, practice sword practice, and practice until half of his life is gone."Guo Chi came over and joked that once his brother became powerful, he wouldn't have to live in this poor place.
Xue Ling just lied casually that day, and almost forgot about it, but he was not in a hurry, and said: "You didn't go up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper put all the good things on the second floor. I have something to do today, and I will come back tomorrow." I'll take you there, at the gate of Taoji, we'll see you when you are here."Anyway, when she was going back later, she passed by Tao Ji and went to talk to Tao Hongzhi first, just get two copies and put them on display.At that time, I was afraid that it was the staff who bullied Li A Niu and the two of them looked shabby.
Li A Niu looked distressed, and said: "It's not bad, it's just that I asked someone to tell me to go to his place at night, he is worried about my injury."
"Then go to Tao Ji earlier, and then go to Su Yan's with you. I haven't been to him for a long time." Xue Ling said casually.She planned to go to Xianbei the day after tomorrow, and Su Yan had to pay more attention to the affairs in the court, so as not to miss anything when she came back.
"Okay, okay, now that I have money, I'll treat you to a meal too."Li Aniu didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking, so he laughed loudly.He has been in Beijing for so long, and he has never been so refreshed as at this moment, able to hold his head high in front of Miss Qi San.
The people around me all said that he was going to be a great success.
I was thinking about going to Tao Ji, but I forgot it as I walked, and it was not worth looking back.Xue Ling shook his head, and simply planned to go there after dinner, and it would be better to go to Linjiangxian to have something to eat.I have been worried these days, and my appetite is unavoidable.And I'm going to Xianbei immediately, but sometimes I can't eat a good meal
Back at Xue’s house, she had already laid out the table softly, and she was lying on her head with a pen, but she still felt that the description of the names of hundreds of families was quite satisfactory, especially the character Huo. Xue Ling picked it up and looked left and right. It looks good.The box given by Huo Yunwan was used by her as a paperweight. After a few days, it was stained with a lot of ink stains.
The matter in Beijing has been dealt with, and Wei Lang should start attacking the Yulinwei.Xue Ling only wanted to bring the Huo family down, but didn't think about taking over the power, so he didn't pay much attention.On the contrary, Jiang's family was worried about how to put people in front of Wei Lang and let him replace Huo's family.
Naturally, the Huo family has never had a peaceful life. Huo Zhun personally asked Huo Yunwan why the news was wrong, and her daughter cried with tears, "I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to tolerate the Huo family. This matter should be designed by the emperor. The former court found reasons to gradually cut off the Huo family's power in the imperial forest army, and in the harem, they appointed a queen mother to be in charge and abolished her power as a queen. I was fooled because I was useless."
When he returned to Huo's mansion, Huo Zhun felt that he could not delay any longer, and he had to borrow the help of Tuoba Mian as soon as possible to cut down the Shen family and monopolize the northwest. Only in this way could he not be afraid of Wei Lang.It was rare for Huo Yunsheng to agree with his father.He always thought that he should avoid the emperor's edge, but the emperor's assassination was too obvious, leaving no room for the Huo family.
There are few people in Xue's house, and the food is simple. Two or three dishes plus a small bowl of rice. Fortunately, Xue Ling is not picky about food. It's frightening.Although there was no fatal threat, Xue Ling realized that he was too used to being calm.
In a real fight, the short sword is too disadvantageous, and you still need to carry other things on your body.In the days to come, dealing with outsiders is indispensable, and they are no longer in the dark like before.So as the sun was fading away, I changed my clothes and went to Tao Ji, firstly to explain Li Aniu's lies, and secondly to see if there was any long weapon for me to carry with me.
Although he expected that the man knew him, Xue Ling still felt that the hospitality that greeted him was a little too much.And he didn't take himself upstairs, but led him to the backyard, saying that the shopkeeper had told him that when Miss Xue came, please sit in the backyard.
Xue Ling didn't know what Tao Hongzhi meant, so he shook the pill on his wrist and didn't make things difficult for the buddy.Anyway, she has been in at night, and it's not bad to go in during the day.Tao Hongzhi was not there. The waiter said that he was probably accompanying a guest, and asked Xue Ling to wait for a while, so he went to invite him, and then left Xue Ling there alone.
This place was no different from the last time she came here, with candles burning during the day, the inside was empty, and there was not even a tea set on the table.Thinking of the dangerous hidden weapons that night, Xue Ling suddenly became interested.Try to find where the agency is.It's a pity that I found the corner of the cabinet from the wall, but nothing suspicious was found.
She was still a little unwilling to give up, thinking that it might be on the ground, so that Tao Hongzhi could start it with a single step, so she lay down on the ground to feel for loose bricks and the like.It's a pity that he still didn't touch anything, so he clapped his hands and wanted to stand up. When he looked up, he found Tao Hongzhi standing at the door with his arms crossed, looking at him with interest.With a guilty conscience, he blushed instantly.
One turned over and stood up, and said embarrassingly: "I lost my hairpin, and I haven't found it for a long time."
Tao Hongzhi was noncommittal, walked around Xue Ling and walked to the head of the bed. Somehow he touched it, and a table slowly rose from the table top, with all the cups, bowls, teapots and stoves on it.Then he said to Xue Ling, "Here."
Xue Ling laughed twice, walked to the table and did not speak.Tao Hongzhi came over, lit a charcoal fire and boiled water, and said: "Long time no see, I thought you wanted to renege on your debt, took the medicine and flew away."
Xue Ling was a little embarrassed, after all, he just went to someone else's house to dig things up.Who knew that the dog came so fast, didn't that guy just go to invite him.It seems that she really didn't ask for money, but this was not intentional. The most important thing she lacks now is money. Heaven asked to come before him, what's the point of being offended and dying.
Xue Ling stretched out his left hand, lifted his sleeve, and revealed the rope tied around his wrist. He waved it generously in front of Tao Hongzhi's eyes a few times and said, "Not bad, not bad, you see, I carry it with me every day, lest I forget yours. Great kindness."
The first pot of water was already boiling, Tao Hongzhi poured it into the tea wash, added water and continued to boil, then scalded the tea bowl with a tong, and asked, "Really?"
Xue Ling nodded again and again: "Really, seriously...".How could it not be true, in case there was a second Qi Shiyan, he would point to this thing.
Tao Hongzhi's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and he was carefully boiling tea there, and stopped talking.
Xue Ling shook for a long time, then put his arms down.She never liked to drink tea, and she couldn't understand why people in Beijing had so many tricks on this matter, but Tao Hongzhi insisted on cooking, so she couldn't stop her.After a while of silence, I felt that going on like this was not a problem.Xue Ling said: "I came today to find out if there is any software or other weapons that are convenient for women to use."
Tao Hongzhi didn't raise his head, and said, "Yes."
Xue Ling said: "I also want to ask you for a favor. My friend who uses heavy swords wants to find some sword books. I have asked him to come and read them tomorrow. Can you prepare them first, so as not to have them when you get them? I am not easy to deal with. ?”
Tao Hongzhi still said in the same tone: "Yes."
Seeing Tao Hongzhi's weirdness, Xue Ling frowned, wondering if he wanted to explain that he was just curious and didn't intentionally search his house?But it seems unbelievable to say it, so it is better not to say too much, anyway, I lay down on the ground for a long time, but I didn't find anything, and I was covered in ashes.
Xue Ling tentatively said, "Then, shall I go and see for myself?"
Tao Hongzhi finally raised his head and said, "What's the hurry, have a cup of tea, and I'll go with you again."After finishing speaking, she lowered her head again, but added, "If I remember correctly, when Ms. Xue bought the epee, she said that she would give it to her uncle, and this uncle's seniority has dropped quickly."
Xue Ling patted his thigh, and lied with difficulty: "I probably said... Uncle's son, you misunderstood."
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere became even more awkward. She just wanted to say that she didn't like to drink bad tea at all, so it was better to go to see the sword earlier.Tao Hongzhi got up and went to another room, not knowing what to do.She could only sit there and wait, the water on the stove was already bubbling, obviously it was on.
Fortunately, Tao Hongzhi came back soon, spread out a paper bag, which contained some candied fruit, and said, "Today's tea is called Yu Gan, and it tastes bitter at first taste. I'm afraid you are not used to it, so take some sweets to press it." He poured the water He picked it up, made tea, and filled a cup for Xue Ling.
Xue Ling took it and took a small sip. It was so bitter that her tongue would fall off. She quickly threw the cup away and said, "What the hell?"Then stuffed three or four candied fruit in his mouth.After stuffing it, he felt something was wrong, got up and picked up the gurgling cup.I feel very uncomfortable.She hates both bitterness and sweetness, and today both are combined.
Tao Hongzhi, however, was holding a cup of tea, and drank it slowly, turning a blind eye to Xue Ling's rude behavior, and sat there without moving.
Xue Ling put the cup back on the table, sat down again, stared at Tao Hongzhi as he finished drinking a cup of tea, and said, "I don't understand why you guys like to drink this, I've finished the tea, let's go."
Tao Hongzhi refilled his glass and said, "Sit down for a while, since the name is Yu Gan, it means sweet aftertaste, and we have to wait."
"Don't wait, I'm in a hurry."Xue Ling stood up, thinking that Tao Hongzhi would not move, so she would go by herself.Tomorrow, after dealing with Li Aniu, he will leave for Xianbei, and he will have to pack his luggage at night.
"There is no way in a hurry, there is probably a moment before the toxicity can take place."Tao Hongzhi was still drinking tea, without squinting, and there was no ups and downs in what he said. It didn't seem to mean that he was poisoned, but it seemed to mean that the weather would be fine tomorrow.
Xue Ling wanted to grab the white, but reminded himself that he was begging for help and let the dog finish first.The next moment, Pingyi slipped into his hands.Said: "Is there poison in the tea?"
Tao Hongzhi said: "No".
Xue Ling untied the rope in his left hand and held the pill, wondering whether he should take it or not.The thing was given by Tao Hongzhi. If he poisoned himself, it is hard to say whether there is any problem with the pill.
Tao Hongzhi looked at Xue Ling, motioned for the stool with his eyes, and said, "Sit."
Life is in the hands of others, so you have to be more obedient.Xue Ling thought for a while, pulled the stool away, sat a little further away, and said, "I don't know what the poison is, and I don't know when the poison will be released. So, you have three chances to say something, if you don't satisfy me, Just go to die first. In case I die from poison, I can’t do anything, and I will feel bad when I go to the Palace of the King of Hell.”
Tao Hongzhi smiled and said, "Miss Xue is really interesting."
"One sentence."
"The effect of the medicine is fast, but it will take several days before the person dies."
"Two sentences."
Tao Hongzhi ignored Xue Ling's threat, picked up the tea, and said leisurely, "Why did Miss Xue assassinate the concubine at the gate of Tao Ji?"
Xue Ling stood up holding his breath, not to mention whether he was poisonous or not.Her identity has never been revealed for so many years, and she did not meet Tao Hongzhi that day, so how did Tao Hongzhi know that she was the one who assassinated Xuese.
Tao Hongzhi also changed his expression, and said proudly: "It doesn't matter if the three sentences are over, since I'm sitting here, there must be others who know, if I don't go out, the people behind Miss Xue will be killed alive. "
Xue Ling has never been threatened, but this time she dared not act rashly. She was not sure how much Tao Hongzhi knew about the whole matter.With so many people involved, if this person really speaks out, death is not the scariest thing at all.
"So, Miss Xue, do you want to sit down and talk?"
Xue Ling tucked Pingyi back into his sleeve, and sat on the stool as promised, but did not look at Tao Hongzhi.As long as she can go out here today, she will send Xue Li and Li A Niu away before making plans.
Tao Hongzhi washed a new cup, and still refilled Xue Ling's cup, saying, "Emblica is delicious tea, so I won't take it out to entertain guests easily. If Miss Xue doesn't drink a few more cups, it's a shame."
It doesn’t matter whether it’s poisonous or not. Xue Ling didn’t care about the bitterness anymore. He took it up and drank it down, then slammed it back on the table and said, “I’ll give you ten more sentences. If you want to talk about it, talk about it. I will save you, and then go to save others. If you can’t be saved, you will be left to fate.”
Tao Hongzhi continued to serve the tea, changed his smile and said, "Don't be so anxious, I just want to ask, why did you assassinate the harem concubine at the gate of Tao Ji."
There was no need for Xue Ling to hide anymore, and said, "Frame Huo Yunsheng."
"What is your relationship with the Huo family?"
"I want him to die."
"How do you know what's going on in the palace? The time and place are so accurate."Tao Hongzhi pushed the tea in front of Xue Ling and said, "The tea is cold."
Xue Ling picked it up angrily. Damn it, this person is just planning on himself, and he is forced to eat such an unpalatable food. After drinking, he threw it back on the table and said, "You can know it's me, but I can't know the carriage. Who is there, don't pour any more water, and speak quickly if you have anything to say."
Tao Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Xue Ling to be so willful when he knew he was poisoned, but he ignored her, poured a glass and said, "Drinking more is always good. Your surname is Xue, which Xue Ling ?”
When Xue Ling heard this question, he suddenly laughed, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "So you don't know, you only know about the assassination that day, and you don't know my name or who I work for. So , the one who can threaten me is just this life, but my life is probably better than yours."
"That's all."Tao Hongzhi saw that he was showing his secrets, he immediately released his tense expression, and imitated Xue Ling, leaned back and said, "If that's the case, why don't you and I be honest and honest, if we don't conspire with each other, the road will be open in the future, and we will each go our separate ways."
Xue Ling said: "I just picked a place to hide at random, it happened to be at the door of your Tao Ji, what do I need to tell you? What can I do for you?"
Tao Hongzhi pointed to the palm of Xue Ling's hand and said, "I haven't paid for the medicine yet."
Xue Ling threw the pills and the rope in his hand on the table and said: "I will kill Tao Ji if I don't receive the money. I can pay you back today or pay the bill. Both money and goods are paid, and there is no debt to each other. Yes. It’s not like there’s an antidote for me.”
Tao Hongzhi pointed to the cup: "Tea, the tea is cold."
After staying in Qi Mansion for such a long time, things have been going well recently. Xue Ling has not been forced into such a situation for a long time, and he just feels that the foul language he learned in Pingcheng is about to blurt out.But he suppressed it, drank another cup, and said, "Are you going to give it or not?"
Tao Hongzhi seemed to have succeeded in a prank, his eyes were full of smirks, he pointed to a whole pot of tea and said, "There is no poison in the tea, it's all antidote, drink it as you like."Pointing to the package of candied fruit, he said: "The poison is here. You have taken three or four pills, and you may need two pots. But it doesn't matter, this medicine won't kill you, but it can paralyze you for more than a month. I just scared you." .”
Xue Ling's face turned blue. If it was normal, she would rather kill Tao Hongzhi immediately, and don't want the antidote.At worst, go back and lie down for two months.But now that he was going to Xianbei immediately, he had no choice but to admit it.
While drinking tea, she said, "If you can't tell me how you recognized me, you probably won't have the chance to say it in your life."
Tao Hongzhi didn't take this sentence as a threat at all, and said, "I expected you wouldn't either, but there's nothing to hide about this."He picked up the pills that Xue Ling had untied, hung them in the air, shook them, and said with a smile, "As I said earlier, the Tao family's medicines are the only ones in Beijing. After getting up, Tao Ji closed the door, and later the assassin came into my courtyard, I didn’t want to cause trouble, so I didn’t show up, but afterward, I smelled that the medicine was useless, and there seemed to be no one else except you.”
Xue Ling took the pill and put it on his nose and asked carefully, but he didn't smell anything.Tao Hongzhi laughed loudly at the side, and said, "Dogs may not be able to smell it. Except for me, I guess only a master who makes medicine can do it."
Xue Ling tied the pills back to his hands, and the dog put himself together, just as he didn't need to give any money.Tao Hongzhi watched her move, picked up the teapot and shook it and said, "Do you want to make another pot for you?"
Xue Ling said: "No need, you can cook a few more pots for yourself. If I can't get up in the future, I think you can stay in bed for a year, so that no one will cook when the time comes."She has always been vengeful, and this is recorded here in advance.
Tao Hongzhi said: "Sit here, if there is no poison after two moments, then it will be cured. I will go and ask the buddy to bring some soft swords for you to pick."He got up and went out the door.
Xue Ling looked at the leaving figure and squeezed his wrist.She felt that Tao Hongzhi didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but she couldn't make up her mind what to do.The two have known each other for a while, and killing people is always a chore.There was still some residual tea on the table, so she drank two more cups angrily.It's just that there is a hint of sweetness in the mouth, not as sweet as the usual sweets, but with a fragrance of flowers and leaves, and there is no feeling of greasy taste at all, it is really emblica.
Later Tao Hongzhi really brought four or five soft swords. They were ingeniously crafted, they could be worn as a belt around the waist, and they were not inferior to magic weapons when they were shaken. She liked it even after looking at them.Tao Hongzhi was also generous, saying, "You can choose whatever you want, and you don't need money."
Since he said that, it was even more difficult for Xue Ling to make other plans, so he could only ask casually, "What are you spying on me for?"
"I don't know what's so good about a concubine, I'm afraid you're going to assassinate the emperor."
Xue Ling pretended to be careless and said: "Then what if I really want to assassinate the emperor?"
Tao Hongzhi rolled up all the remaining soft swords she picked out, put them aside, walked over and said seriously: "Then Miss Xue must invite me together."
Xue Ling didn't look like he was joking, but he couldn't believe it right away.What kind of relationship can a street shopkeeper have with the palace?After a few glances, he looked away, and casually changed the subject.
The two of them were at war with each other back then, but now they sit down like old friends for many years.After waiting for two minutes, Xue Ling was fine, and told Tao Hongzhi not to forget about tomorrow's affairs, so he got up and left.Tao Hongzhi originally sent her outside the door chattering gossip, but when the two parted, he said: "If Miss Xue has a nobleman in the palace, I hope I can help you to make a bridge, and I have some private matters to deal with."
Xue Ling agreed casually, but didn't take it seriously for the time being.Let's not say that a bunch of things can't be finished, even if you are idle.Before she knew who Tao Hongzhi was, she didn't dare to act rashly.
As he walked, he couldn't help raising his left wrist and smelling it, but the pill still didn't smell at all.I don't know whether Tao Hongzhi is telling the truth or lying.
(End of this chapter)
What does Huo Yunwan want to say?Xue Ling thought about it for a while and found no reason, so he just put it on the desk and didn't bother to care about it.
The Imperial Forest Guard in Beijing has been firmly controlled by the Huo family since three years ago, even though Huo Yunsheng lost his job, the power is still there.Ordinary people, who want to shake, have almost no possibility, except Wei Lang.But Wei Lang and Huo's family are afraid of each other, and if they want to move, there must be a reason.If there is nothing wrong with it, the courtiers will not avoid criticism, and the members of the Huo family will not allow it. Naturally, he will not easily cause public anger.
Unless someone pushes Wei Lang.Let him know that the Huo family has to move.The best thing is that the people from Huo's family pushed it by themselves, wanting to push out the feeling of "what can you do to me".
According to the results of these two days, there should be no mistakes.The fact that Huo Yunwan was able to deliver things meant that everything was safe in the palace, so Xue Ling calmed down a little.But in her plan, Huo Yunsheng went back, and the matter was only halfway.The remaining half is in Li Aniu's house.It's just that he went to Li Aniu's residence several times, but still didn't see anyone. Guo Chi said that he was injured when he caught a thief, and his superiors took him away. He didn't know when he would return.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Wei Lang was too suspicious.After all, Li Aniu was a member of the Yulin Guard, and if he was treated as arranged by Huo Yunsheng and dealt with directly, it would be unknown.If it's not the desired result, the entire village...will be gone.So much so that she put her matter of going to Xianbei on hold for the time being, and waited wholeheartedly for news from Li Aniu.
After several days, the Empress Dowager's canonization ceremony has been set as a holiday.Those looking into Yongchun Palace naturally moved their eyes elsewhere.The little maid handed over a letter, saying it was from the master.Huo Yunwan didn't take it apart, and moved it directly onto the Phoenix candle, and didn't throw it away until the flames almost engulfed her fingers.
The grandmother who was close to her turned around to get the pen and ink, Huo Yunwan said lazily: "Forget it, there is no need to reply to this letter".
In a few days, her father will bring Yao'er in in the name of visiting elder sister.At that time, I'm afraid I will have a good cry, saying that the emperor doesn't believe in me anymore, and I deliberately set up a trick to lure the Huo family into the bait. In fact, I just want to find a reason to stuff my Huang family into the Royal Forest Guard to divide the power of the Huo family. .
I don't know if Huo Zhun will believe it?It should be.A little while ago, didn't the emperor confiscate his mother's family just now, or did he intend to promote the Huang family and trample on the Huo family's status in Beijing.
Someone came in and whispered a few words, Huo Yunwan grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and said, "Well done."
She looked up at the clouds leisurely outside the window, a little lost in thought.I don't know what the girl surnamed Xue looked like when she received the box, and when will she come to find herself again?But if you don't come, it's not easy to rush yourself.I have to go and see that girl Xuese later, I heard that Wei Lang didn't go to Yaoguang Hall for a long time, and the servant girl died and didn't have any new ones, so I sent a grandmother to deliver meals, thinking about it was terrified.It's also very pitiful. I don't know if Wei Lang forced him to ask something, maybe he did.But what can I ask, how can anyone in the palace know that she is going to leave the palace by such a coincidence?Even the Empress Dowager only found out after the fact.
In the Yaoguang Palace, Xue Se curled up on the bed all day long, her humble body flew up to the branches.Except for the branch that was willing to support her, not only would she not like the others, but she would only have endless disdain.Even if Sheng Chong is in front of him, the Yaoguang Palace is just empty, not to mention losing power today.The so-called Emperor Xiaogan is just a lie spread outside, but here, there are only dozens of lives hovering around.
The only gratifying thing is that the grandma is not in trouble, and the three meals a day are well served.People, the most important bones of the body, will be used in the future, and they cannot be ruined for the time being.
No one told a single lie, including Xue Se, who never told anyone that she was going out of the palace, even the little maid Fang Qing who was with her was hiding it from her.So much so that she thought over and over these days, who exactly, who knew that she was going out of the palace.Even I never expected that the emperor would allow me to go out of the palace to worship.
The cause of this incident was that Mrs. Su sent a letter to say, "Probably because it was rainy upstream, the river in the outskirts of the city swelled a few days ago, and most of my mother's tomb was washed away. Su's mansion has invited a master to repair it. Just invite The great master said that this matter may damage the blessings of future generations, and also asked the empress to chant sutras a lot in the palace to eliminate disasters and difficulties."
Naturally, she didn't dare to be negligent. The villagers felt bad luck when her mother was walking on the New Year's Eve. The land of water was buried hastily, thinking that if there is wealth in the future, then choose a blessed land.Life has undergone tremendous changes, and today she is doted on by thousands of people, but she can't burn a few paper money for her mother.
Xuese is inevitably frustrated, not happy to meet people, and doesn't have many friends anyway.But there must be rules, morning and evening are inevitable, Yingying and Yanyan in the empress's palace are always laughing, she can't intervene, she just sits in the corner and listens silently.Most of the time, I just laughed it off, but that day, I fell in love with it.A concubine said, "The heat is getting worse", and a beauty said, "No, the summer solstice will be here soon."The queen smiled gently and generously as always: "I used to be at home, and the Summer Solstice Festival is not a small day. It is also a time to worship the ancestors and pray to the gods."All the people agreed, "That's right, who doesn't hope that there will be no disasters and no diseases, and there will be more than enough every year."
Xue Se lowered her eyes, she knew more about the Summer Solstice Festival than these empresses.Among the people, it is a busy time for farming.People who watch the sky and eat must pray to God to hang down the curtain and their ancestors to bless them.The coming of the summer solstice is extremely important, not only for harvesting spring seeds, but also for starting preparations for autumn storage.The mother also wants... She suddenly remembered that the tomb of the mother was repaired by Mrs. Su, and she couldn't leave the palace by herself, even if she burned some paper money?The emperor seemed to be very kind to himself, and secretly burning some paper money, shouldn't it be a big request.
She didn't expect Wei Lang to agree to leave the palace, and she remembered Wei Lang's confession to avoid people's eyes and eyes. After the servant went back to the room, he didn't even go out. Yuan Bao hid and secretly folded gold foil paper of.For fear of being discovered, there are only a few small ones, not enough for a basket, so I thought about going to the street and asking the emperor's guards to help me buy some.There is nothing wrong with all these things.How could it be, how could anyone know that he was leaving the palace?Why the emperor didn't believe him, maybe, maybe it was his guards who said it.
How long will she be stuck here with the rustling of the night wind?Will those maids and eunuchs turn into ghosts and come to claim their lives?
The Deoksugung Palace has been roughly arranged, and the eunuchs and maids are still picking up some daily decorations in the warehouse, and the empress dowager moved to the palace, which is not a trivial matter.The auspicious mansion of the House of Internal Affairs has also been rushed to completion, and it was sent to the Empress Dowager Shengci Zhaoshu, but the Empress Dowager looked at it for a long time without saying a word.The kneeling man didn't dare to breathe, for fear that something he did was not to his liking.
Fortunately, the emperor came quickly, and said: "Why are there so many people kneeling, but what is not done well is also due to the rush of time. They are a little impatient, so they just need to change it. Empress, be careful."
The Empress Dowager Zhao Shu looked away from the auspicious clothes, and said: "The emperor came here, and there is no one who can pass it on. Get up and go back. Whether it is good or not, the queen mother doesn't care about it."
The little eunuch brought a chair for Wei Lang to sit down, and the palace maid quickly brought the freshly brewed tea.After receiving the Queen Mother's order, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Empress Dowager Zhaoshu fiddled with the eighteen sons in her hand and said, "The emperor has not taken the initiative to sit here at Ai's house for a long time, so it is rare to come here today."
"It turned out that the son was unfilial. If it wasn't for Xue Se, he wouldn't be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the mother."
"What kind of pains can the Ai family have, but in the end it is for the sake of the emperor's reputation, helping to cover up one or two things. Now that the matter is over, it is over. The emperor insists on keeping it as a cat and dog, and no one dares to stop it .But in the harem, you always have to give the queen some face. How long has it been since you entered the gate of Yongchun Palace?"
"The empress mother taught me that. I will never let Yun Wan down."
"Go ahead."
"The son resigned."
Empress Zhaoshu rubbed her fingertips, the feeling of touching the gold and silver threads on the auspicious clothes had not completely subsided.Finally, no one calls him concubine anymore. In this palace, for women, only the word "Hou" is pleasant to the ear.But his own son didn't understand.
And after the son became the emperor, he didn't want to be a son anymore.But she didn't want an emperor, otherwise, why bother to lose the emperor back then.
Fortunately, Huo Yunwan understood that although she was begging herself because she was afraid that the potato would be hot, at least she did not let down the friendship that reached out to her back then.What happened at that time was to win over the Huo family, but it also gave Huo Yunwan a way out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor is here, you can prepare yourself."The little eunuch ran out of breath and came to inform Huo Yunwan.
The maid below was also very happy, since that foxy son Xuese climbed up the dragon bed, the emperor hasn't come to Yongchun Palace for a long time.I said it was not a good thing, and the empress refused to send it out.
Huo Yunwan bowed and gave a salute: "The emperor has had dinner, but the concubine has not. The dishes in the small kitchen are all the emperor's favorite dishes."
Wei Lang stared at Huo Yunwan for a while, and said, "Is it all my favorite food? Wan'er is in touch with me, and knows that I'm coming."
Without the emperor's order, how dare Huo Yunwan get up?But shyly said: "Your majesty is talking nonsense, the dishes in Yongchun Palace...everyday are made with the emperor's favorite food, and my concubines... I am afraid that the emperor's sudden arrival will not suit your taste"
"What are you doing bent over, I said earlier that Wan'er doesn't need to be polite."Wei Lang smiled and helped Huo Yunwan up, as if he was just joking.There is no such thing as mind-to-heart communication in the world, only tongue-to-mouth communication.I'm afraid he knew that someone would call him over.
When did my mother concubine and queen stand together?
Huo Yunwan put a chopstick of pickled cabbage silver sprouts into Wei Lang's bowl, and said, "Your Majesty, taste it quickly, my concubine has been picking it all afternoon."
"Wan'er worked hard, but it tastes better than other people's hands-on food."Wei Lang stuffed it into his mouth, not forgetting to joke.It was he who dismissed the members of the Huang family, so Mr. Huang approached Huo Zhun?
Huo Yunwan threw away her chopsticks coquettishly: "The emperor is used to making fun of his concubines, if this is the case, it wouldn't be the case that he would not come to his concubines for half a month."
"It's my fault, it's not a good training for Empress Dowager Gang."Wei Lang seemed to be the same prince, coaxing his concubine.What are the people of Huang Huo and Huo's family joining hands to do? Could it be that they want to empty themselves as the emperor?
"It's also the emperor's filial piety, and the queen mother can be regarded as repaying it..." Huo Yunwan knelt on the ground in horror, and said: "My concubine made a mistake, please forgive me."
The maid who was waiting on the side also hurriedly knelt on the ground, oh my God, fortunately the queen didn't finish the sentence, otherwise she would not be able to live if she heard it.
Wei Lang let out a long breath, dropped his chopsticks and said, "Forget it, I still have some papers to approve, I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Huo Yunwan put her head on the ground: "The concubine will send it to Your Majesty."
Wei Lang couldn't tell whether the fear in her words was real or not, so he smiled and said, "Get up, if my queen makes any slips of her tongue, don't slip her words."He said that he filled a bowl of soup and used some.
A while later, Huo Yunwan sent Wei Lang to the gate of the palace.
Wei Lang lightly brushed the Queen's ears and hair on her temples, and whispered, "What did the Queen go to Dowager Shu's palace that night, and if she has any grievances, just come and tell me. From now on, the Dowager will be the Empress Dowager, so it's better not to go there so as not to disturb The Queen Mother is pure. Yun Wan will always be my queen."
The last eunuch also walked away, Huo Yunwan turned around and entered the room with a smile, the dishes on the table were still there.That dish of pickled cabbage and silver sprouts was just picked up by a chopstick.
She never said that she wanted to be a queen, not to mention it was always so far away.But it doesn't matter, Wei Lang is alive, she is the queen.
As for what she did in the Empress Dowager's palace on the night of the incident, of course she was asking the Empress Dowager to show her mercy, no, she was still a concubine at that time.
As a queen, she neglected her duties, and she didn't even know that a concubine slipped out of the palace privately and was assassinated in the street.Fortunately, my brother found out and sent the news quickly.Yulinwei, it is inevitable that they are better informed. .
But so what if the news came, let's ignore it, say that the management of the harem is not effective, let's ignore it, he is the emperor's favorite person, and he is the only one who loves him for more than a month, and the others haven't seen Tianyan for almost a month.She was in a dilemma, so she could only quickly beg Concubine Shu for mercy.And brother Huo Yunsheng had already asked clearly that Mrs. Xue was going out to visit her mother's grave, and her filial piety was commendable. Presumably the emperor was also grateful for this, so he was confused for a while.
Maybe, I can be confused enough to make you the Queen Mother.
Every word is true, every sentence is true, she really doesn't know if Xuese will leave the palace, let alone when she said Shen Shiyou, it's not a group of women in the harem clamoring for the summer solstice to pray for blessings, and after lunch, they hang around the palace gates The sachets don't disperse until sunset.At that time, sister Xuese claimed that she would not be sick, and she co-authored it because of this.
She was a bit apprehensive, the emperor actually allowed his own woman to go out of the palace privately, presumably some talkative eunuch said something like "Mrs. Xue secretly cried for her mother several times".
Li Aniu has woken up, but he doesn't know where he is.All I know is that this place is magnificent and magnificent, compared with the dilapidated land on the outskirts of the city, it seems like a fairy palace and hell.The sword wound on the chest is almost healed, but one of the ribs was broken, and the doctor said that it needs to be taken care of for a few days.
Outsiders guarded him and refused to let him go out. I don't know what happened to Guo Chi, and Miss Qi San who had an appointment that day. She should know the reason why she didn't have such a big event.I was also very stupid that day, catching petty thieves was fine, but when I saw that professionally dressed killer who couldn't recognize the accident, I went up to him and lost half my life.
Lone Star changed several people to make indirect comments, but still did not find anything suspicious from Li A Niu's mouth. The other brothers went to check the people around them, and there were no loopholes.It's rare that this person still knows Su Yan, saying he's from the same place.Back then when he came to Beijing together, he was the top student in Su Yan's high school, but this person was still a city patrol soldier.It doesn't have to be used, this person's skill is just that.But when the Cypriots entered the Royal Forest Guard, the general fortress was reasonable and reasonable. They either made meritorious service or passed the exam, so the emperor was not easy to do.
Wei Lang listened to all the things he found out, but he didn't ask anyone to dig into Li A Niu's background.As long as it has nothing to do with Huo Yunsheng, it can be filled temporarily.Whether the martial arts is high or not, you can practice again, but it is suitable for this kind of thing, if you miss it, you will never have it again.And the person Su Yan, whom he thought he was looking at, was basically foolish and loyal.
The matter has to be concluded at this point, Wei Lang must be a mess, but he didn't grasp the slightest clue.He can only deduce who designed this game by guessing.At first, I thought it was undoubtedly the Huo family, but now I feel that the Huang family is also inseparable.
The people in the palace saw with their own eyes that Huo Yunwan went to the Concubine's Palace when Xue Se had just returned to the palace that night, no one knew exactly what she said.But later Concubine Shu went to the Yaoguang Palace to thunder her wrist, and afterwards Concubine Shu suddenly started to speak for Huo Yunwan. He didn't believe there was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing he could do. That's all.
Both of these two were the main figures who helped him ascend the throne at that time. Afterwards, the Huo family's military power did not fall, and the Huang family was in the official department to cover the sky with one hand.There are occasional intersections between the two, but it's just for mutual convenience.Most of the time, the well water does not violate the river water, but now they use the same thing to persecute the emperor.
Wei Lang lay on the chair, not daring to admit his conjecture for a long time.My mother's family actually colluded with the Huo family?
He didn't think it was impossible.In the past year, there have been many conflicts with Huang Jiaben. The emperor cannot always obey a woman when he employs people.In addition, as the Huang family grows, it is inevitable that there will be a few black apples, some will be resigned from their posts, and some will have their heads cut off.Maybe because of this, the Huang family felt that life would not be as smooth as when he first became the throne.If you want to make a fuss about something, remind yourself.It just so happened that the Huo family also had this idea, so it was only natural to stand together.
He felt that this idea was extremely scary.The imperial forest army in central Beijing is in the hands of the Huo family, and only half of Shen Yuanzhou in the northwest is in the hands, and the [-] army closest to the capital is the Huang family holding the military talisman.I had never worried about this before, it was terrible.
Xue Ling finally waited for Li A Niu, looking good, packing things with Guo Chi.Seeing her coming, he dropped his things and came over, explaining the reason for that day, and also said that he was going to move.It was a lady who was rescued that day, and she has been recuperating in a very rich place for the past few days.It was a blessing in disguise, not to mention getting a reward, and no longer having to patrol the streets, but I will follow the emperor in the future.
Xue Ling put down the big stone in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he said a few words of congratulations.She didn't dare to ask Li A Niu if she regretted that day, because she was afraid that she would not get the answer she wanted.I just secretly decided not to do this kind of thing again.
After chatting for a while, Li Aniu asked embarrassedly: "I came back yesterday, but you didn't come. I went to Tao Ji with Brother Guo to read it first. Others said that they don't sell sword books. What's the matter?"
"Yes, yes, he is very anxious. I told him to wait, practice sword practice, practice sword practice, and practice until half of his life is gone."Guo Chi came over and joked that once his brother became powerful, he wouldn't have to live in this poor place.
Xue Ling just lied casually that day, and almost forgot about it, but he was not in a hurry, and said: "You didn't go up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper put all the good things on the second floor. I have something to do today, and I will come back tomorrow." I'll take you there, at the gate of Taoji, we'll see you when you are here."Anyway, when she was going back later, she passed by Tao Ji and went to talk to Tao Hongzhi first, just get two copies and put them on display.At that time, I was afraid that it was the staff who bullied Li A Niu and the two of them looked shabby.
Li A Niu looked distressed, and said: "It's not bad, it's just that I asked someone to tell me to go to his place at night, he is worried about my injury."
"Then go to Tao Ji earlier, and then go to Su Yan's with you. I haven't been to him for a long time." Xue Ling said casually.She planned to go to Xianbei the day after tomorrow, and Su Yan had to pay more attention to the affairs in the court, so as not to miss anything when she came back.
"Okay, okay, now that I have money, I'll treat you to a meal too."Li Aniu didn't know what Xue Ling was thinking, so he laughed loudly.He has been in Beijing for so long, and he has never been so refreshed as at this moment, able to hold his head high in front of Miss Qi San.
The people around me all said that he was going to be a great success.
I was thinking about going to Tao Ji, but I forgot it as I walked, and it was not worth looking back.Xue Ling shook his head, and simply planned to go there after dinner, and it would be better to go to Linjiangxian to have something to eat.I have been worried these days, and my appetite is unavoidable.And I'm going to Xianbei immediately, but sometimes I can't eat a good meal
Back at Xue’s house, she had already laid out the table softly, and she was lying on her head with a pen, but she still felt that the description of the names of hundreds of families was quite satisfactory, especially the character Huo. Xue Ling picked it up and looked left and right. It looks good.The box given by Huo Yunwan was used by her as a paperweight. After a few days, it was stained with a lot of ink stains.
The matter in Beijing has been dealt with, and Wei Lang should start attacking the Yulinwei.Xue Ling only wanted to bring the Huo family down, but didn't think about taking over the power, so he didn't pay much attention.On the contrary, Jiang's family was worried about how to put people in front of Wei Lang and let him replace Huo's family.
Naturally, the Huo family has never had a peaceful life. Huo Zhun personally asked Huo Yunwan why the news was wrong, and her daughter cried with tears, "I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to tolerate the Huo family. This matter should be designed by the emperor. The former court found reasons to gradually cut off the Huo family's power in the imperial forest army, and in the harem, they appointed a queen mother to be in charge and abolished her power as a queen. I was fooled because I was useless."
When he returned to Huo's mansion, Huo Zhun felt that he could not delay any longer, and he had to borrow the help of Tuoba Mian as soon as possible to cut down the Shen family and monopolize the northwest. Only in this way could he not be afraid of Wei Lang.It was rare for Huo Yunsheng to agree with his father.He always thought that he should avoid the emperor's edge, but the emperor's assassination was too obvious, leaving no room for the Huo family.
There are few people in Xue's house, and the food is simple. Two or three dishes plus a small bowl of rice. Fortunately, Xue Ling is not picky about food. It's frightening.Although there was no fatal threat, Xue Ling realized that he was too used to being calm.
In a real fight, the short sword is too disadvantageous, and you still need to carry other things on your body.In the days to come, dealing with outsiders is indispensable, and they are no longer in the dark like before.So as the sun was fading away, I changed my clothes and went to Tao Ji, firstly to explain Li Aniu's lies, and secondly to see if there was any long weapon for me to carry with me.
Although he expected that the man knew him, Xue Ling still felt that the hospitality that greeted him was a little too much.And he didn't take himself upstairs, but led him to the backyard, saying that the shopkeeper had told him that when Miss Xue came, please sit in the backyard.
Xue Ling didn't know what Tao Hongzhi meant, so he shook the pill on his wrist and didn't make things difficult for the buddy.Anyway, she has been in at night, and it's not bad to go in during the day.Tao Hongzhi was not there. The waiter said that he was probably accompanying a guest, and asked Xue Ling to wait for a while, so he went to invite him, and then left Xue Ling there alone.
This place was no different from the last time she came here, with candles burning during the day, the inside was empty, and there was not even a tea set on the table.Thinking of the dangerous hidden weapons that night, Xue Ling suddenly became interested.Try to find where the agency is.It's a pity that I found the corner of the cabinet from the wall, but nothing suspicious was found.
She was still a little unwilling to give up, thinking that it might be on the ground, so that Tao Hongzhi could start it with a single step, so she lay down on the ground to feel for loose bricks and the like.It's a pity that he still didn't touch anything, so he clapped his hands and wanted to stand up. When he looked up, he found Tao Hongzhi standing at the door with his arms crossed, looking at him with interest.With a guilty conscience, he blushed instantly.
One turned over and stood up, and said embarrassingly: "I lost my hairpin, and I haven't found it for a long time."
Tao Hongzhi was noncommittal, walked around Xue Ling and walked to the head of the bed. Somehow he touched it, and a table slowly rose from the table top, with all the cups, bowls, teapots and stoves on it.Then he said to Xue Ling, "Here."
Xue Ling laughed twice, walked to the table and did not speak.Tao Hongzhi came over, lit a charcoal fire and boiled water, and said: "Long time no see, I thought you wanted to renege on your debt, took the medicine and flew away."
Xue Ling was a little embarrassed, after all, he just went to someone else's house to dig things up.Who knew that the dog came so fast, didn't that guy just go to invite him.It seems that she really didn't ask for money, but this was not intentional. The most important thing she lacks now is money. Heaven asked to come before him, what's the point of being offended and dying.
Xue Ling stretched out his left hand, lifted his sleeve, and revealed the rope tied around his wrist. He waved it generously in front of Tao Hongzhi's eyes a few times and said, "Not bad, not bad, you see, I carry it with me every day, lest I forget yours. Great kindness."
The first pot of water was already boiling, Tao Hongzhi poured it into the tea wash, added water and continued to boil, then scalded the tea bowl with a tong, and asked, "Really?"
Xue Ling nodded again and again: "Really, seriously...".How could it not be true, in case there was a second Qi Shiyan, he would point to this thing.
Tao Hongzhi's expression suddenly became extremely strange, and he was carefully boiling tea there, and stopped talking.
Xue Ling shook for a long time, then put his arms down.She never liked to drink tea, and she couldn't understand why people in Beijing had so many tricks on this matter, but Tao Hongzhi insisted on cooking, so she couldn't stop her.After a while of silence, I felt that going on like this was not a problem.Xue Ling said: "I came today to find out if there is any software or other weapons that are convenient for women to use."
Tao Hongzhi didn't raise his head, and said, "Yes."
Xue Ling said: "I also want to ask you for a favor. My friend who uses heavy swords wants to find some sword books. I have asked him to come and read them tomorrow. Can you prepare them first, so as not to have them when you get them? I am not easy to deal with. ?”
Tao Hongzhi still said in the same tone: "Yes."
Seeing Tao Hongzhi's weirdness, Xue Ling frowned, wondering if he wanted to explain that he was just curious and didn't intentionally search his house?But it seems unbelievable to say it, so it is better not to say too much, anyway, I lay down on the ground for a long time, but I didn't find anything, and I was covered in ashes.
Xue Ling tentatively said, "Then, shall I go and see for myself?"
Tao Hongzhi finally raised his head and said, "What's the hurry, have a cup of tea, and I'll go with you again."After finishing speaking, she lowered her head again, but added, "If I remember correctly, when Ms. Xue bought the epee, she said that she would give it to her uncle, and this uncle's seniority has dropped quickly."
Xue Ling patted his thigh, and lied with difficulty: "I probably said... Uncle's son, you misunderstood."
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere became even more awkward. She just wanted to say that she didn't like to drink bad tea at all, so it was better to go to see the sword earlier.Tao Hongzhi got up and went to another room, not knowing what to do.She could only sit there and wait, the water on the stove was already bubbling, obviously it was on.
Fortunately, Tao Hongzhi came back soon, spread out a paper bag, which contained some candied fruit, and said, "Today's tea is called Yu Gan, and it tastes bitter at first taste. I'm afraid you are not used to it, so take some sweets to press it." He poured the water He picked it up, made tea, and filled a cup for Xue Ling.
Xue Ling took it and took a small sip. It was so bitter that her tongue would fall off. She quickly threw the cup away and said, "What the hell?"Then stuffed three or four candied fruit in his mouth.After stuffing it, he felt something was wrong, got up and picked up the gurgling cup.I feel very uncomfortable.She hates both bitterness and sweetness, and today both are combined.
Tao Hongzhi, however, was holding a cup of tea, and drank it slowly, turning a blind eye to Xue Ling's rude behavior, and sat there without moving.
Xue Ling put the cup back on the table, sat down again, stared at Tao Hongzhi as he finished drinking a cup of tea, and said, "I don't understand why you guys like to drink this, I've finished the tea, let's go."
Tao Hongzhi refilled his glass and said, "Sit down for a while, since the name is Yu Gan, it means sweet aftertaste, and we have to wait."
"Don't wait, I'm in a hurry."Xue Ling stood up, thinking that Tao Hongzhi would not move, so she would go by herself.Tomorrow, after dealing with Li Aniu, he will leave for Xianbei, and he will have to pack his luggage at night.
"There is no way in a hurry, there is probably a moment before the toxicity can take place."Tao Hongzhi was still drinking tea, without squinting, and there was no ups and downs in what he said. It didn't seem to mean that he was poisoned, but it seemed to mean that the weather would be fine tomorrow.
Xue Ling wanted to grab the white, but reminded himself that he was begging for help and let the dog finish first.The next moment, Pingyi slipped into his hands.Said: "Is there poison in the tea?"
Tao Hongzhi said: "No".
Xue Ling untied the rope in his left hand and held the pill, wondering whether he should take it or not.The thing was given by Tao Hongzhi. If he poisoned himself, it is hard to say whether there is any problem with the pill.
Tao Hongzhi looked at Xue Ling, motioned for the stool with his eyes, and said, "Sit."
Life is in the hands of others, so you have to be more obedient.Xue Ling thought for a while, pulled the stool away, sat a little further away, and said, "I don't know what the poison is, and I don't know when the poison will be released. So, you have three chances to say something, if you don't satisfy me, Just go to die first. In case I die from poison, I can’t do anything, and I will feel bad when I go to the Palace of the King of Hell.”
Tao Hongzhi smiled and said, "Miss Xue is really interesting."
"One sentence."
"The effect of the medicine is fast, but it will take several days before the person dies."
"Two sentences."
Tao Hongzhi ignored Xue Ling's threat, picked up the tea, and said leisurely, "Why did Miss Xue assassinate the concubine at the gate of Tao Ji?"
Xue Ling stood up holding his breath, not to mention whether he was poisonous or not.Her identity has never been revealed for so many years, and she did not meet Tao Hongzhi that day, so how did Tao Hongzhi know that she was the one who assassinated Xuese.
Tao Hongzhi also changed his expression, and said proudly: "It doesn't matter if the three sentences are over, since I'm sitting here, there must be others who know, if I don't go out, the people behind Miss Xue will be killed alive. "
Xue Ling has never been threatened, but this time she dared not act rashly. She was not sure how much Tao Hongzhi knew about the whole matter.With so many people involved, if this person really speaks out, death is not the scariest thing at all.
"So, Miss Xue, do you want to sit down and talk?"
Xue Ling tucked Pingyi back into his sleeve, and sat on the stool as promised, but did not look at Tao Hongzhi.As long as she can go out here today, she will send Xue Li and Li A Niu away before making plans.
Tao Hongzhi washed a new cup, and still refilled Xue Ling's cup, saying, "Emblica is delicious tea, so I won't take it out to entertain guests easily. If Miss Xue doesn't drink a few more cups, it's a shame."
It doesn’t matter whether it’s poisonous or not. Xue Ling didn’t care about the bitterness anymore. He took it up and drank it down, then slammed it back on the table and said, “I’ll give you ten more sentences. If you want to talk about it, talk about it. I will save you, and then go to save others. If you can’t be saved, you will be left to fate.”
Tao Hongzhi continued to serve the tea, changed his smile and said, "Don't be so anxious, I just want to ask, why did you assassinate the harem concubine at the gate of Tao Ji."
There was no need for Xue Ling to hide anymore, and said, "Frame Huo Yunsheng."
"What is your relationship with the Huo family?"
"I want him to die."
"How do you know what's going on in the palace? The time and place are so accurate."Tao Hongzhi pushed the tea in front of Xue Ling and said, "The tea is cold."
Xue Ling picked it up angrily. Damn it, this person is just planning on himself, and he is forced to eat such an unpalatable food. After drinking, he threw it back on the table and said, "You can know it's me, but I can't know the carriage. Who is there, don't pour any more water, and speak quickly if you have anything to say."
Tao Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Xue Ling to be so willful when he knew he was poisoned, but he ignored her, poured a glass and said, "Drinking more is always good. Your surname is Xue, which Xue Ling ?”
When Xue Ling heard this question, he suddenly laughed, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "So you don't know, you only know about the assassination that day, and you don't know my name or who I work for. So , the one who can threaten me is just this life, but my life is probably better than yours."
"That's all."Tao Hongzhi saw that he was showing his secrets, he immediately released his tense expression, and imitated Xue Ling, leaned back and said, "If that's the case, why don't you and I be honest and honest, if we don't conspire with each other, the road will be open in the future, and we will each go our separate ways."
Xue Ling said: "I just picked a place to hide at random, it happened to be at the door of your Tao Ji, what do I need to tell you? What can I do for you?"
Tao Hongzhi pointed to the palm of Xue Ling's hand and said, "I haven't paid for the medicine yet."
Xue Ling threw the pills and the rope in his hand on the table and said: "I will kill Tao Ji if I don't receive the money. I can pay you back today or pay the bill. Both money and goods are paid, and there is no debt to each other. Yes. It’s not like there’s an antidote for me.”
Tao Hongzhi pointed to the cup: "Tea, the tea is cold."
After staying in Qi Mansion for such a long time, things have been going well recently. Xue Ling has not been forced into such a situation for a long time, and he just feels that the foul language he learned in Pingcheng is about to blurt out.But he suppressed it, drank another cup, and said, "Are you going to give it or not?"
Tao Hongzhi seemed to have succeeded in a prank, his eyes were full of smirks, he pointed to a whole pot of tea and said, "There is no poison in the tea, it's all antidote, drink it as you like."Pointing to the package of candied fruit, he said: "The poison is here. You have taken three or four pills, and you may need two pots. But it doesn't matter, this medicine won't kill you, but it can paralyze you for more than a month. I just scared you." .”
Xue Ling's face turned blue. If it was normal, she would rather kill Tao Hongzhi immediately, and don't want the antidote.At worst, go back and lie down for two months.But now that he was going to Xianbei immediately, he had no choice but to admit it.
While drinking tea, she said, "If you can't tell me how you recognized me, you probably won't have the chance to say it in your life."
Tao Hongzhi didn't take this sentence as a threat at all, and said, "I expected you wouldn't either, but there's nothing to hide about this."He picked up the pills that Xue Ling had untied, hung them in the air, shook them, and said with a smile, "As I said earlier, the Tao family's medicines are the only ones in Beijing. After getting up, Tao Ji closed the door, and later the assassin came into my courtyard, I didn’t want to cause trouble, so I didn’t show up, but afterward, I smelled that the medicine was useless, and there seemed to be no one else except you.”
Xue Ling took the pill and put it on his nose and asked carefully, but he didn't smell anything.Tao Hongzhi laughed loudly at the side, and said, "Dogs may not be able to smell it. Except for me, I guess only a master who makes medicine can do it."
Xue Ling tied the pills back to his hands, and the dog put himself together, just as he didn't need to give any money.Tao Hongzhi watched her move, picked up the teapot and shook it and said, "Do you want to make another pot for you?"
Xue Ling said: "No need, you can cook a few more pots for yourself. If I can't get up in the future, I think you can stay in bed for a year, so that no one will cook when the time comes."She has always been vengeful, and this is recorded here in advance.
Tao Hongzhi said: "Sit here, if there is no poison after two moments, then it will be cured. I will go and ask the buddy to bring some soft swords for you to pick."He got up and went out the door.
Xue Ling looked at the leaving figure and squeezed his wrist.She felt that Tao Hongzhi didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but she couldn't make up her mind what to do.The two have known each other for a while, and killing people is always a chore.There was still some residual tea on the table, so she drank two more cups angrily.It's just that there is a hint of sweetness in the mouth, not as sweet as the usual sweets, but with a fragrance of flowers and leaves, and there is no feeling of greasy taste at all, it is really emblica.
Later Tao Hongzhi really brought four or five soft swords. They were ingeniously crafted, they could be worn as a belt around the waist, and they were not inferior to magic weapons when they were shaken. She liked it even after looking at them.Tao Hongzhi was also generous, saying, "You can choose whatever you want, and you don't need money."
Since he said that, it was even more difficult for Xue Ling to make other plans, so he could only ask casually, "What are you spying on me for?"
"I don't know what's so good about a concubine, I'm afraid you're going to assassinate the emperor."
Xue Ling pretended to be careless and said: "Then what if I really want to assassinate the emperor?"
Tao Hongzhi rolled up all the remaining soft swords she picked out, put them aside, walked over and said seriously: "Then Miss Xue must invite me together."
Xue Ling didn't look like he was joking, but he couldn't believe it right away.What kind of relationship can a street shopkeeper have with the palace?After a few glances, he looked away, and casually changed the subject.
The two of them were at war with each other back then, but now they sit down like old friends for many years.After waiting for two minutes, Xue Ling was fine, and told Tao Hongzhi not to forget about tomorrow's affairs, so he got up and left.Tao Hongzhi originally sent her outside the door chattering gossip, but when the two parted, he said: "If Miss Xue has a nobleman in the palace, I hope I can help you to make a bridge, and I have some private matters to deal with."
Xue Ling agreed casually, but didn't take it seriously for the time being.Let's not say that a bunch of things can't be finished, even if you are idle.Before she knew who Tao Hongzhi was, she didn't dare to act rashly.
As he walked, he couldn't help raising his left wrist and smelling it, but the pill still didn't smell at all.I don't know whether Tao Hongzhi is telling the truth or lying.
