The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 334

After negotiating with Xu Qiushui, Lou Su went out of the palace to return without stopping.

"Pavilion Master, things have been developing according to our expectations. She also got the distribution map of the troops, but now she threatens to reset. Should I agree or not?"

In front of Lou Su, the man in black, who was called the pavilion master, was wearing a mask and could not see his real face. He lowered his head and touched the viburnum on his sleeve, then raised his head slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: " She judged the situation and knew that if she took advantage of our weaknesses, she would be able to fight for her own interests. She is indeed the woman who brought down He Heqin's great general's mansion together with Situ Rui back then. .”

Although he was smiling, his tone was cold and chilling.

"Now the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's 40 troops have arrived at the city of Yongzhou, and we are waiting for this troop distribution map. Since she wants to reset so much, then let her be fulfilled." The man in black said lightly, "As for what will happen to her after this? What to do depends on her own fortune."

Lou Su silently mourned for Xu Qiushui: The Pavilion Master hates others to threaten him the most, no matter who you are, no matter how long it has been, no matter where you go, you will never let him go.

The dense night shrouded the palace walls, and the red lanterns for the New Year had not been removed, shining in the slightly deserted palace city, which was extremely strange.

Under the cover of night, two women wearing black hooded cloaks came to Caiwei Palace one after the other with palace lanterns, and knocked on the small corner door.

The person who opened the door was shocked when he saw the person coming, and hurriedly invited him in.

When the servants came to report, Chen Caiwei was also taken aback. After seeing the two women with her own eyes, she sent them away, leaving only her confidant Xiuzhu in the inner hall.

After the two women took off their hats, Chen Caiwei hurriedly saluted, "Empress Empress, why did you come here in person?"

It was Xu Qiushui and Lvzhu master and servant who entered Caiwei Palace wearing a black hooded cloak in the middle of the night.

Xu Qiushui glanced at Chen Caiwei indifferently, sat down on the couch, and said with a half-smile: "Chen Guifei seems not to want to see Bengong."

Chen Caiwei was stunned when she heard the words, and reacted and kowtowed three times to Xu Qiushui, and said tremblingly: "I don't dare! Because in the past, the empress would let Lu Zhu pass on her orders. I never thought that today... the empress If you have anything to do, you can just let Miss Luzhu tell you, why do you have to work so hard to come here in person?"

"Forget it, you get up." Xu Qiushui raised his eyelids disapprovingly, waved his hands to signal that she could get up, and said: "I will take such a big risk to come to you in person, naturally there is something urgent for you to do. come here."

Chen Caiwei approached, Xu Qiushui whispered a few words in her ear, Chen Caiwei's face became paler the more she heard, and she looked at Xu Qiushui in surprise: "Mother, if this matter is discovered, it will be a death penalty..."

As soon as her voice fell, Xu Qiushui said coldly, "Chen Caiwei, don't forget that you have the status you have today, who single-handedly supported you? Don't think that you can't do anything if I lose power. Since I can support you If you come up, it will naturally trample you down."

"The concubine dare not, the concubine forgives the sin. The concubine dare not forget the kindness of the concubine to the concubine. The concubine will do my best for what the concubine has ordered." Chen Caiwei was so frightened that she knelt down on her knees, and said in a solemn tone. Almost swear to God.

Xu Qiushui's previously cold expression improved, and he said, "It's good that you know. However, since I dare to order you to do this, it is natural that I have arranged a way out. You don't have to be afraid of this."

Saying that, he put on the hooded cloak and left with the green beads.A glazed lamp shone in the dark palace, slowly going away.

The gate of Caiwei Palace is closed, and it seems that no one has ever been there.

Back in Li Palace, Lu Zhu took off the cloak for Xu Qiushui, and said: "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just ask your slaves to go to Caiwei Palace. It's freezing cold, why bother to go to Caiwei Palace?"

Seeing what Luzhu said, Xu Qiushui sneered and said: "What I want her to do, she will lose her head if she is not careful. Chen Caiwei is a smart person. When the Japanese Palace was still in Qifeng Palace, she would give me a casual order." She didn't dare not to do it; but now that Bengong is losing power, if this matter is just for you to run errands, she must be able to push it away, even if she agrees, she will be perfunctory. This matter is related to Bengong's ability to stand up and return For the most important matter, I will naturally have to go there in person to have a deterrent effect."

"Yes, it's the servant who is stupid." Lu Zhu lowered her head, thinking to herself, this woman is very scheming.

Although she didn't hear what Xu Qiushui and Chen Caiwei said in detail, she knew it was not a good thing.In the current situation, Xu Qiushui will definitely do whatever it takes to return to Qifeng Palace.

……

Now that the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was getting tense, Situ Yan probably couldn't get away from it. Ever since he discussed the situation with Qin Wange on the chessboard that day, he hadn't seen him come into the palace again.

The palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival is very simple, without the festive festivities of the usual festivals, one is to save money, and the other is because the war is about to break out, and Situ Rui is in a bad mood.

During the palace banquet, Situ Rui remained expressionless throughout the whole process. The courtiers saw that the emperor's expression was not good, so they didn't dare to say much, so they all just drank in suspense.

Situ Xiao still put on a leisurely attitude of not caring about court affairs, admiring the performances of the court ladies and at the same time not forgetting to express himself by pointing fingers.

This scene really resembled the palace banquet when he just came back.

Perhaps sensing Qin Wange's gaze, Situ Xiao also looked at her with an inexplicable smile.

The eyes of the two met, and they refused to give in to each other.

After a while, Qin Wange raised the white jade cup with a smile, took a sip, and then enjoyed the singing and dancing as if nothing had happened.

Situ Xiao was still smiling on the surface, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

This imperial concubine, this woman from southern Xinjiang, is really not a simple person.

Qin Wange also secretly planned in his heart that Situ Xiao must be planning something secretly, and he must prevent him from playing tricks behind his back.

……

Because Situ Rui was in a low mood all night, the dinner ended early.

After the palace banquet was over, the others left separately, but Situ Rui said to Qin Wange who was going back together: "I still have some memorials that I haven't read, you should go back and rest earlier."

Qin Wange frowned slightly when she heard this. Although Situ Rui was still gentle and considerate to her recently, she always felt that Situ Rui was slowly alienating her.

I don't know if it was her illusion or what, thinking of Situ Xiao's weird smile just now, Qin Wange inexplicably had a bad feeling.

However, thinking about it in his heart, Qin Wange is still an empathetic imperial concubine on the surface, and said to Situ Rui gently: "Susu knows. But, no matter what the situation in Yongzhou is, please take care of the dragon body."

Seeing that the beauty is well-behaved, gentle and considerate, Situ Rui couldn't help but move in his heart. He had indeed neglected her recently, but when he thought of the secret report sent back by the spies that Nanjiang was imminent, Situ Rui hardened his heart and said, "I know."

After watching Situ Rui leave, Qin Wange abandoned the sedan chair and walked back.

This year's Shangyuan Festival was particularly deserted, because the war in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was about to break out, and Situ Rui was in a bad mood, so there were no lanterns in the palace.It doesn't look festive at all.

Situ Rui's attitude towards her is indeed strange, not because she thinks too much.However, the reason why Situ Rui alienated her inexplicably needs to be investigated carefully.At this critical juncture, there must be no more mistakes.

Perhaps it was because of missing relatives during the festive season, even on the night of the Lantern Festival, Qin Wange couldn't help but think of the time when he was still at home.

As a daughter, she left her parents when she was young and went to Cangyun to study arts, but she never had fun at her parents' knees; after she met Situ Rui at the age of 16, she devoted herself to Situ Rui with all her heart.

She is the god of war in the hearts of Xiling people, but she is a completely unfilial daughter. The time she spent at the knees of her parents was so short.Fortunately, during that time there was no war, no conspiracy in the court, and it was also the most peaceful and peaceful period of her life.

I remember that every year during the Lantern Festival, my mother would make glutinous rice balls with her own hands.

My mother is a lady from a famous family, so she is naturally delicate and particular about food.The glutinous rice balls are stuffed with osmanthus and sesame seeds, or filled with red bean paste. Before making them by yourself, they will prepare molds and carve them into delicate carvings.Therefore, it often takes mothers an afternoon to make glutinous rice balls for the family.

Although my father is a rough man, he loves his mother very much and asks her to rest more. Let the maids and cooks do these things.

But my mother always smiled softly and said: "I only go to the kitchen so few times a year, so it's hard to talk about. Besides, eating glutinous rice balls in the New Year means reunion. Cooking it, how can you have your own food?" It’s meaningful to do it yourself.”

The mother loves her and her elder brother very much, and their glutinous rice balls are often more than that of their father.The father was jealous and said that the mother was eccentric.

The father who is all-powerful outside is often like a child in front of his mother.

People in Xiling have many wives and concubines, especially those from rich families, but the father has only one wife in his life, the mother.Husband and wife love each other, they raise their eyebrows together, and the love is so enviable.

Perhaps at that time she was influenced by her parents, and she decided in her heart that she must find a man like her father, and live with him forever.

After eating glutinous rice balls, she disguised herself as a man and secretly took her brother to Huayue Lane.

In Huayue Lane, there are countless Qinlou Chu Pavilions, and the Qin family's family education is very strict. My brother has never been to these places, and he was only dragged there by her.

Thinking of this, Qin Wange couldn't help smiling, but the smile quickly disappeared again.

The old man was gone, the elder brother who loved her the most and held her in the palm of his hand, but because of her involvement, he died innocently in Situ Rui's scheme.

The fragility in her eyes is the vicissitudes of life after the prosperity has come to an end, and it looks a bit bleak under the hazy palace lanterns.

"What is one thinking in a daze here?" A lotus lantern floated in front of him.

Qin Wange was taken aback by the sudden voice, but when she turned around, she saw Situ Yan's smiling eyes.The warm yellow lanterns were reflected in the pair of peach blossom eyes, shining brightly.

At that moment, Qin Wange suddenly remembered a sentence.
