Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 146

When the two were in love, they were inseparable, and she once pretended to be a little eunuch and walked with him.

Later, when there was the matter of the military defense plan, he was afraid that she would be insulted again, and she also knew that her status was embarrassing, and she was afraid of being suspicious, so she never changed her makeup and went to the previous court.

When she came back from Jingshan, she didn't even go to Qianyuan Hall.

Hearing Tang Tianxiao mention it at this moment, Ke Qianmei let go of him, bowed her head and said, "I'm not going, I'll go and play with Sister Yayi later. She also said the day before yesterday that she would make vegetarian snacks for me, but she said no." Allow me to stay there to taste her vegetarian snacks at noon! Do you want to try it too?"

Tang Tianxiao frowned, and pondered: "Well, it's considered quiet there. It's fine if you accompany her, I won't go."

He turned and walked out of the bedroom, and couldn't help but look back when he reached the gate of the palace.

But Qianmei was leaning on the window lattice and watching him silently, seeing him turn around, she immediately smiled at him, even the old banyan in the courtyard seemed to be more beautiful.

And his mind seemed to be swaying in that gorgeous smile, as if it was full of endless beautiful scenery in spring.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On this day, after staying in court, Tang Tianxiao left Tang Tianqi, Zhou Shaoduan and other confidant ministers to discuss matters, and it was time to leave.

When he was about to return to the palace, Tang Tianqi grabbed him and handed him a jade turtle for Ke Qianmei to play with.

When Tang Tianxiao picked it up to look at it, it was carved from sapphire. Although the texture was ordinary, the wonderful thing was that the pattern resembled a tortoise shell. When he followed the pattern with a knife, he carved a little turtle with its head up and down. It was natural and vivid.

He smiled and said: "You have a heart, and you remember to give her everything. But this girl can't tell the good from the bad. I gave her a priceless five-foot-high coral, which she used as a dress God knows when it will be smashed to pieces. If you give this to her, if it is pleasing to the eye, and use it as a paperweight, it will be a great face to your righteous brother!"

Tang Tianqi said: "If she doesn't like it, the emperor can keep it for fun. It's not a precious thing, but this turtle's head is very interesting. Look at the eyes and mouth, your majesty, do you think they look familiar?"

Tang Tianxiao was stunned, looked carefully, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of tea, already laughing so hard.

The tortoise has round eyes, the corners of which are slightly curved and shaped like almonds; the nose is fine, but the grinning mouth is thin and upturned, with a cute and naive look, which is clearly charming and comfortable. The appearance of giggling!

He coughed, pointed at Tang Tianqi and said with a big laugh: "You... You kid did it on purpose, right? I'm not afraid that she will meet you next time, the boss whips you so hard that you can't find your way home!"

Tang Tianqi sighed innocently: "Where did I do it on purpose? I also laughed for a long time when I was holding this tortoise. When I asked the jade carving craftsman, I had never seen Sanmei before. I don't know how he could carve such a shape." !"

Tang Tianxiao took a closer look at the tortoise, and said with a smile, "That's right, that's very interesting. I'll ask her later. If she doesn't want it, I'll keep it as a display. I'll treat the tortoise as her, and I'll show it to her every day." It must be fun to put a few crosses on it, or draw a few circles on the head."

Thinking of Ke Qianmei's temperament, Tang Tianqi also laughed: "If you tease her like this, I'm afraid you will make her anxious!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

With the jade turtle, Tang Tianxiao was not in a hurry to go back to the Qianyuan Hall, and went to the Yiqing Palace first, but he didn't see Ke Qianmei.

Xiang'er reported back: "After the emperor left, the empress wrote in the room for a while, she probably felt bored, so she took the two girls to the Great Buddha Hall, and left a message, saying that she would have lunch with Mrs. Don't wait for her."

She looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "If you eat there and just talk to Mrs. Yu, I'm afraid you may not come back until evening. Or, servant girl, please go and invite your mother back to the palace to serve you?"

Tang Tianxiao remembered what Ke Qianmei said in the morning, and said, "Forget it, let her play. I'm thirsty, so I'll drink some tea and leave."

Tang Tianxiao walked into the room when the maid hurriedly answered and went to serve tea.

Still crystal curtains, tortoiseshell couches, and tassel tents. The utensils are exquisite but the furnishings are loose. It blends the luxury and beauty of the royal family in the Central Plains and the charm and enchantment of the alien races in the north, creating a unique style.

He originally thought that the style of the room would give people the feeling of being bustling and noisy, but at this time, Qian Mei was not there, and no matter how gorgeous and dazzling the arrangement was, it seemed that there was some vitality missing, and it was dull.

He frowned, drank two sips of tea, then put the jade turtle on the desk by the window, when he was about to leave, he glanced at the words written on the desk, and suddenly froze.

It was the "Papaya" written by Ke Qianmei last night.

He then wrote two lines from "Beifeng? Beating the Drum" and then left it.

She once asked him, "Death and life are rich, talk to Zi Cheng. Hold your hand, and grow old together with you." He deceived her that she had never paid attention to reading, and muddled through it indiscriminately.

But at this moment, immediately after his line of writing, there is clearly a charming handwriting: "Yu Qikuo, don't let me live. Yu Weixi, don't believe me."

She knew it.

The ending of that poem is separation, estrangement, breach of promise, and never seeing each other.

As he held the piece of paper, his heart suddenly jumped violently.

"Someone! Somebody!"

When the palace people rushed over, Tang Tianxiao's eyes were burning like fire, and he shouted loudly: "Go to the Great Buddha Hall immediately and see if Concubine Shu is there! If she is, let her come back immediately!"

Seeing Tang Tianxiao's complexion suddenly changed, everyone dared not neglect them, they dispatched two fast-footed servants, and rushed all the way to the Great Buddha Hall.

Jin Qi was waiting outside, but at this time he hurried forward to serve, seeing Tang Tianxiao clutching the paper with a face full of shock, he guessed that Ke Qianmei must have written something that angered him, so he stepped forward and carefully persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't Be in a hurry, if there is anything, you will know when Concubine Shu comes back and ask."

Tang Tianxiao breathed unevenly, and said in a calm voice: "Will she...will come back?"

Jin Qi was startled, and said: "If she doesn't come back, where else can she go?"

"Where to..."

Tang Tianxiao paced back and forth in the room restlessly, but after listening to his words he regained his composure, and suddenly ordered to go out again, "Decree, close the palace gates everywhere, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! At the same time, I asked if there was anything suspicious or strange in the morning." If your maid or servant leaves the palace, report back immediately!"

When the other party rushed to deliver the order, Jin Qi was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty thinks, thinks Concubine Shu..."

Tang Tianxiao raised his eyes, looked at the empty window, and said slowly: "She... probably won't... I hope it's just me making a fuss..."

When they parted in the morning, she hugged him tightly and clung to him for a long time, so nostalgic, so reluctant...

She was as bright as kapok and was about to pour out of the window, her eyes only lingered on him, and her warm affection made his heart open all morning...

Just because she was leaving?

When she said over and over again that she wanted to be with him, for the rest of her life, she was planning to leave?

"No! No!"

Tang Tianxiao murmured to himself.

The piece of paper on which the oath of staying together and the confession of separation was written was slowly twisted into a ball by him.

And the nails, piercing through the thin paper, have slowly dug into the palm.

Jin Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and echoed in a low voice: "Yes, no, no...the emperor treats her so well, and she treats the emperor as well..."

He stopped suddenly.

The little servant sent to the Great Buddha Hall has rushed into the palace like flying, his face full of panic.

Tang Tianxiao rushed out of the house and stood on the steps, before the waiter saluted, he shouted: "Say it!"

The little servant replied: "Mrs. Yu is not feeling well today. She has been staying in Deoksugung Palace and did not go to the Great Buddha Hall. Concubine Shu...has never been to the Great Buddha Hall today. Some people have already gone to Deoksugung Palace. Go and ask Concubine Shu if she went to Deoksugung Palace to visit Mrs. Yu..."

"She's going to Deoksugung Palace? Get lost!"

Tang Tianxiao kicked him away, and rushed out of the palace angrily.

The wrath of the emperor is more powerful than thunder.

Jin Qi was so incredulous that he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

But he almost didn't have to think about it, he could immediately conclude that Ke Qianmei would never go to Deoksugung Palace.

She seems innocent and innocent, but she is actually smart, dexterous and astute.

Tang Tianxiao held her in the palm of his hand, but the Empress Dowager Xuan didn't like her very much, but she just didn't intervene for the sake of her son, how could she be so stupid, and she went to Deoksugung Palace for nothing?
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Tang Tianxiao walked out of Yiqing Palace, glanced at several avenues, and stood on the spot hesitantly, not knowing which way to go.

He was supposed to go to Qianyuan Hall to handle government affairs.

But at this moment, his heart seemed to be cut open suddenly by a knife, and something was picked out alive, empty and painful; even his soul seemed to be split in half by someone, his feet were weak and weak, and he was confused. I don't know where to go.

He couldn't wait to fill himself with something, but those mountains and rivers, those powers, and those chess games that he spent so much time thinking about, all seemed to be far away in an instant, far away.

Everything he wanted to grasp at this moment seemed to have lost its direction.

This magnificent palace, together with the vast expanse of mountains and rivers at its feet... is so huge, so huge that it is absurdly huge.

Just because that slender figure walked into it, it melted into the desert like sand, and water droplets into the sea, and disappeared in an instant.

The scorching sun was pouring down on his head, his tall and strong figure only cast a flat and short figure under his feet.

He looked down at the hem of his clothes fluttering in front of his knees, and his tightly clenched cold fists.

Is he not strong enough to grasp this country, or is he not strong enough to control that woman?

"Emperor... Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Tang Tianxiao hadn't moved for a long time, Jin Qi couldn't help it, and reminded him tremblingly.

Tang Tianxiao slowly turned his head, his eyes were cold.

"Decree to close the nine gates of the capital, put the city under martial law, and search for Beihe spies. Heavy soldiers guard the prison, especially the prison where the Beihe man is imprisoned. No one is allowed to visit without my order!"

Jin Qi shuddered, and quickly winked, telling people to pass the decree quickly.

Tang Tianxiao's heart was also as cold as snow.

If she leaves, the only reason must be her Beihe, her clan.

Although the Candle Department was extinct, she was the foster daughter of the Empress Dowager Beihe and a member of the Beihe royal family.She is more responsible to maintain her home or country, people or things in Beihe.

He had thought she had chosen him.She also told him that she couldn't go back.

Whether she is willing or unwilling, she always betrays her country, her people, and has to live under his wing.

He is willing to use his tenderness to resolve her worries, and even intends to not care about those malicious assassinations for her, so that the two countries can turn their hostility into jade, so as to completely untie her knot in her heart.

But now, between her country and her husband-in-law, she has chosen her country.

Between leaving her tribe or her lover, she chose to leave her lover.

She came to make love that day with ulterior motives, but she didn't have too many dilemmas, so she gave up hurting him and chose to be loyal to her love.When her people wanted to hurt him, she even chose to completely betray him.He didn't feel that she had a deep affection for her home country.

Or, she didn't do this for her homeland or her people?

So, who is behind the scenes who have the ability to influence her behavior?
