Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 173

He looked up and looked out, and said: "It's getting late, and a concubine I married also said that she would make me a snack from my hometown at noon. I'll probably have time to get her when I go back now." Affection."

He stood up, but something fell out of his sleeve; Tang Tianxiao only glanced at it, and his phoenix eyes were already narrowed.

Tang Tianqi lowered his head, picked it up as if nothing had happened, and put it back into his sleeve.

Tang Tianxiao immediately asked, "What is that?"

Tang Tianqi took it out, raised it to him, and said succinctly, "It's what Xiang'er gave me."

That thing was familiar to Tang Tianxiao, for the past six months, he had almost kept it in his sleeve or in his bosom, and never let it go for a moment.

It was the peachwood comb that was so ordinary that no one knew its meaning except him and Ke Qianmei.

It's a pity that it has been broken by him in anger, and it is no longer complete.

Now, the two broken pieces are lying quietly in Tang Tianqi's palm, and the smooth ridge of the comb that has been rubbed for a long time slightly reflects the light and bright color of the sun.

He stared at the broken comb, pursed his lips and asked, "Why did Xiang'er give you this?"

Tang Tianqi smiled sadly, "He said he asked me to do something for him."

"what's up?"

"I'm afraid...these things are related to the person who caused the emperor's anger, so it's better not to talk about it?"

But at this moment, Tang Tianxiao was about to lose his temper because of his trickery, he frowned and said, "Say it!"

Tang Tianqi curled his lips and said, "Xiang'er has been transferred from Yiqing Palace now, but the third sister had ordered her some things before, and she wanted to do it for her, so she asked someone to come to me with a message and send this Leave it to me to handle it on my behalf.”

He stopped talking again, as if that was all he planned to say.

Tang Tianxiao's chest was throbbing again.He knew that he had finally gotten used to that kind of parting, so he shouldn't make any more entanglements, but he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Tang Tianqi smiled lightly and said, "Actually, it's just a little effort. The third sister asked Xiang'er to put half of the comb in her coffin after she died, and the other half of the comb was burned to ashes and scattered on her grave."

Tang Tianxiao's heart twitched violently, as if someone had scratched it hard, and the wound that had been covered up with great difficulty was suddenly scratched bloody and scattered.

He slowly turned to Tang Tianqi, and sneered: "You can help her fool me! You think I don't know, she can't stand the detention, and she's playing tricks, and took this to you to coax me to change my mind, don't you? "

Tang Tianqi did not avoid his eyes, but still maintained a smile that looked a bit like a smile on his lips, and said, "Xiang'er said that it was given to her by the third sister the night before she started copying scriptures. The emperor can go to Ask Xiang'er to confirm, maybe she dares to deceive me, but she will definitely not deceive the emperor."

He looked down at the broken comb, and said, "The emperor always seems to think that she is sad for the dead rebel? But why do I think...she is really desperate?"

Tang Tianxiao had bitten his lips until it turned white, and he remained silent.

Tang Tianqi said again: "After I took this comb away, I remembered that Zhuo Rui risked his life to persuade the emperor to withdraw his order, so I personally went to his house to inquire carefully. Zhuo Rui couldn't say more, just told me that he The concubine Ke Shu I saw has completely collapsed. Your Majesty, you locked the completely collapsed Concubine Ke Shu in a dark room like a coffin."

Tang Tianxiao laughed hoarsely: "She? Breakdown? Tianqi, don't you know what kind of person she is? Do you think such a strong woman will break down?"

"Your Majesty, she is only 17 years old, and she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child."

Tang Tianqi sighed, "I didn't see what she looked like that morning. But in my impression, although she was a bit willful, she was not a person without winks. Unless she really didn't want to live, she would only add fuel to the fire when the emperor was furious. Things like that. Why can't the emperor see things that I can see?"

Tang Tianxiao slapped his hands on the table heavily, and said angrily: "That's because you don't know how many things she has done to me! Rebels...the rebels are not just her accomplices? She...she slept with one of them. , and made a white-headed covenant with another person! She...she bitch, where does she put me?"

The first time he told this matter in front of others, he felt so humiliated that he couldn't stand still, he tightened his grip on the table and rubbed his dizzy head.

Tang Tianqi didn't know these things, but he was at a loss when he heard the words. After a long time, he forced a smile and said: "From this point of view, she really deserves to die?"

Tang Tianxiao didn't answer.

Tang Tianqi put the broken comb by his hand, and said in a low voice: "However, since she left it like that, if the emperor is willing to take care of her funeral, she should be happier."

Small clusters of flames burst out of Tang Tianxiao's eyes, and he said angrily, "I didn't intend to take her life, so why do you say these things to scare me?"

"Alarmist?"

Tang Tianqi took a step back, and the long-hidden sadness finally overflowed from his eyes.

"Does your majesty know why Xiang'er gave me this suddenly? She went to Yiqing Palace yesterday and heard that the food and drink brought into the house had not been touched for two days. She cried and called for a long time outside, but the third sister didn't say anything." Answer a sentence, and there is no movement."

He looked at Jin Qi and sighed, "Today is the third day."

Jin Qi whispered: "I heard that today's diet is also unchanged."

Tang Tianxiao's palms suddenly turned cold, and flames spewed out from his eyes, burning towards Jin Qi.

"No one told me."

Jin Qi dared not answer.

Tang Tianqi said softly: "She knows that all the confidantes who love Nuan have been transferred away by the emperor, but some of them have heard some rumors, and with the lessons learned from Zhuo's guards, who would dare to come here and provoke the emperor's thunderous wrath? "

Tang Tianxiao stood in front of the case, like a white birch plant blown by the autumn wind, even though it was upright, its branches and leaves were already withered, without the vigorous vitality in spring.

After a long time, he suddenly grabbed the two cut combs, turned around and ran out of Qianyuan Hall.

In the messy and hasty footsteps, he dropped the words coldly: "If you find out that you two have colluded with her to deceive me, I will not spare her, nor will I spare you!"

Tang Tianqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered softly: "So angry, who is so full to come here to provoke you?"

When he turned around and wanted to leave, Jin Qi pulled him hurriedly and said: "Master Hou, now is not the time to avoid suspicion! You provoked this matter today, so don't try to escape. Maybe something will happen later, If it gets too big, my old bones won't be able to withstand fifty sticks!"

Tang Tianqi did intend to go out of the palace first, and then turn around and ask someone to come over to inquire about the news, so as not to be caught in the face of something and vent his anger.

He has often traveled to and from the palace since he was a child, and he knows very well that this cousin's temper, although usually gentle and easy-going, once faced with major events, such resoluteness, determination, iron blood and ruthlessness are not something ordinary people can bear.

I don't know when, everything about Ke Qianmei has become a big deal.Although he is young, he has been in the court for a long time, he has a lot of eyes and ears, and he has a general understanding of all the troubles. If he ignores it, he is afraid that the lively girl of the foreign race that he swore with that day will really be separated forever.

What's more...

Back then, for his own personal revenge, he had vented his anger on another woman who looked similar to her, causing her to lose her beloved son and nearly die.

How many days have passed, and when he dreams back at midnight, he still feels extremely uneasy, and has been trying to make up for this younger sister who has made friends with that woman...

He sighed, waved to Jin Qi and said, "Let's go! If a stick is knocked down, hit me first, and you won't be able to hit you, an old thing!"

Yiqing Palace.

The ground is full of fallen leaves, the courtyard is desolate, under the dazzling sunlight, the old banyan is rustling, and the thick trunk seems to be unable to support the thick branches and leaves under the layers of cages.

The house that used to be filled with crisp laughter has completely lost its original magnificence and dignity.

The thick, primary-colored wood boards nail the intricately carved windows tightly, leaving no gaps.

A servant was taking out a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetable soup from the only one-foot-square window opening, and was looking inside hesitantly.

Another three or four servants were surrounding, anxiously asking: "How is it? Did you see it?"

The waiter said sadly: "Where can I see it? It's as dark as a coffin."

Then someone continued: "Well, it's probably dead. Do you want to report it?"

"What's the report? If you say more, you may lose a life. The emperor has been murderous recently!"

"Then what should we do? In a few days, maybe everyone will stink..."

A few people thought that the charming Concubine Shu was rotting and stinking in the house in the past, and they felt that the autumn wind blew on their bodies, and goose bumps appeared layer after layer, and they shivered violently.

"What are you looking at?"

What came from behind the man asked coldly.

When they turned their heads, Tang Tianxiao was dressed in black and gold embroidered dragon uniform, standing on the steps with his hands up and down, his gaze as cold as a knife.

With a "snap", the rice and vegetable soup in the waiter's hands fell to the floor.

The servants hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to salute, their eyes were full of fear.

Tang Tianxiao glanced at the food on the ground and asked, "Did she eat?"

The servants lay down on the ground and looked at each other for a few times, but they couldn't hide it, so they could only reply: "The slaves and servants have three meals a day, but Concubine Shu hasn't eaten for three days..."

Tang Tianxiao said with a smile: "I know why she refuses to eat. She has always been picky about food, so of course she refuses to eat such bland and poor food."

He bent down to face the small dark window, and said loudly: "Ke Qianmei, tell me, is what I said right?"

The room was deadly silent, only the humming echo lingered unhurriedly among Liang Yu.

"You can be charming! You can be charming! Answer me! You can be charming!"

He continued to shout, the chill on his back rushed straight to his forehead, even his hands and feet seemed to be stiff, but layer after layer of sweat quickly wet his clothes.

Tang Tianqi also made an exception and came to the palace room where the concubine lived, walked around the tightly sealed outer corridor, then ran into the hall, looked at the tightly sealed door, raised his head and ordered: "Come on!" People, first remove the wooden boards on the door!"

The waiters inside came, and seeing that Tang Tianxiao outside had not raised any objections, they each found out the tools used by the previous son to seal the palace door, knocked, pried, and pulled, trying to remove the thick wooden board above.

But the board was so firmly nailed that it took a long time to disassemble it.

Tang Tianqi was anxious, and when he was about to step forward to do it himself, Tang Tianxiao rushed over, quickly kicked to the side, and then kicked again.

Jin Qi panicked and went to help him, shouting: "Your Majesty, be careful that your feet hurt!"

He exerted great strength, but the board was loose.

Tang Tianqi used his strength to pull it hard, and finally removed the wooden board, exposing the tossed and scarred door leaf.Tang Tianxiao stepped forward and kicked hard again, and the closed door leaf groaned and flew to both sides.

Tang Tianxiao stepped in.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The room was still dark, with a damp and rotten smell caused by poor air circulation.

Tang Tianqi hurriedly said, "Get some lamps quickly!"

When the candles were lit and delivered, the servants couldn't figure out Tang Tianxiao's intentions, and they didn't dare to enter without authorization. Only Tang Tianqi and Jin Qi each held a lamp and followed them in.

The room was as messy as it had been looted, with scattered clothes, quilts and curtains, overturned tables and chairs, and scattered utensils all over the floor.

"Qianmei!"

Tang Tianxiao shouted, holding the lamp high in his hands, carefully avoiding all kinds of obstacles under his feet, looking for the little girl who made him hate it so much but couldn't give it up.

No one answered.
