The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 438 Disobey the decree
In the imperial study room at this time.

"Your Majesty, are you still going to the Empress's place tonight?" Seeing that Situ Rui had almost finished reading the memorial at hand, Li Deshou asked in a low voice.

These days, the empress's favor is not fading, and Situ Rui stayed in Qifeng Palace for several days, so Li Deshou asked this question.

"Drive to Yulan Palace." Situ Rui put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and said calmly.

Qifeng Palace.

Xu Qiushui sat in front of the mirror, opened the gouache in the white porcelain box, and dressed up carefully. This gouache was sent by the Secretary of the Inner Court. It smells a faint floral fragrance, which is not greasy and is a good treasure.

Seeing Xu Qiushui's appearance, Luzhu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor won't be here tonight."

Xu Qiushui just used a white jade hairpin to spread some powder into the palm of his hand. Hearing this, his hands paused, and he frowned and asked, "Didn't your majesty come to this palace every night these days? Why don't you come tonight?"

"Tonight, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has gone to Yulan Palace." Luzhu said cautiously.

Xu Qiushui's face darkened, and he threw the gouache on the dressing table. The white porcelain box was smashed to pieces, and the powder splashed on Xu Qiushui's silk inner garment, and then diffused, creating a burst of fragrance around.

Luzhu was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, don't get so angry, it's much better for the emperor to go to Li Xuanyin's place than to go to Liu Guifei's."

"I'm not angry about this." Xu Qiushui said with a cold face, "Li You has just been reinstated as an official, and everything in the court can be useful to Li You. If he wants to win Li You, he must favor Li Xuanyin."

"Then why is the empress angry?" Luzhu asked, considering her words.

Xu Qiushui stared at the Linghua mirror, and said with a sneer: "I am angry with myself! I forgot to hate him because of his kindness!"

These days, Situ Rui treats her with great favor, just like before that bitch An Lingsu came.She once thought that she and Situ Rui turned against each other because of that bitch An Lingsu.Now that An Lingsu is under house arrest, Situ Rui, the man he once loved with all his heart, has taken good care of her. Perhaps, the relationship between her and Situ Rui can return to the way it was before...

However, what Situ Rui is doing now is making fun of her innocence!

Situ Rui's kindness to her was based on interests.Whether it's for Qin Wange, her, or An Lingsu, he's just dealing with people who can be used.

Xu Qiushui opened the rouge with trembling hands, dipped the rouge with bare hands and applied it to his lips. The bright red rouge was reflected on his fair face, and there was a smile on his pretty face. At this moment, under the candlelight, it looked distorted and ferocious. People are like ghosts.

She commanded Lu Zhu in a gloomy manner: "Go and invite Jinbuchang."

After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty withdrew, Situ Rui issued three imperial edicts in the name of rewarding the three armies, urging Nalan Mingruo to return to the court.

In the handsome tent, Situ Yan sat in the middle, with Nalan Mingruo, Fang Zhe, Liu Chenyue and others sitting in sequence on either side.

Nalan Mingruo looked at the imperial decree and said anxiously: "The emperor has issued three imperial decrees to call us back to Beijing. If we delay our return, we may be blamed."

Nalan's family and Liu's family are both in the capital, so it is human nature for Nalan Mingruo to be scruples in every possible way.Liu Chenyue also had the same scruples, but Liu Chenyue had been an official for many years and worked in Dali Temple, so he naturally thought more deeply than Nalan Mingruo.

Liu Chenyue said: "The emperor urgently summoned you and me to return to the capital. On the surface, he wanted to reward the three armies. However, we have been away from the capital for a long time, and you and I have walked so close to the prince. Before, the emperor secretly ordered you to assassinate General Fang. You are safe and sound. Your Majesty has a suspicious personality, and now that you have a heavy army in your hands, returning to Beijing this time may be a disaster."

Fang Zhe knew Situ Rui's character well, "Master Liu is right. The emperor has seized the military power of Nalan's family, and even put Lord Nalan under house arrest in a disguised form. It is only because you are far away at the border and have a heavy army in your hands. The emperor dare not If you move the Nalan family, once you return to Beijing, not only will you be in danger, but the entire Nalan family may not be able to keep it."

Chu Li and Lou Su are both outsiders, listening to their discussions.

Lou Su pondered for a while, then said: "However, if General Nalan doesn't return to Beijing, the emperor will have even more reason to deal with Nalan's family and General Nalan."

Holding a heavy army in his hands, but also resisting orders and not obeying them, no one can escape with a hat of treason.

Going back is death, and not returning is death, Nalan Mingruo sighed, "The king's heart is unpredictable. The emperor wants to put our Nalan family to death, but has the emperor never thought that although the Eastern Zhou army withdrew, the Eastern Zhou The ambition of a wolf is well known to everyone. Xuanyuan Lie's ascension to the throne was at the time when the momentum was at its peak, and the borders were not stable. If the Nalan family fell, if the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came back, might Yongzhou be able to withstand it?" Nalan Mingruo sighed.

"Situ Rui is really a good emperor who can put the life and death of the people of the world at risk for the sake of self-interest and unreasonable suspicion!" Chu Li sneered.

He had never been optimistic about Situ Rui, and after the Qin family's extermination and Qin Wange's death, he hated Situ Rui even more.If he could, he would have rushed into the palace and killed Situ Rui long ago.

How can such a selfish and heartless person deserve to be an emperor? !
Liu Chenyue's face was also not very good-looking, but since Situ Rui was still the king, it was hard to say anything too harsh, so she said deeply, "Should we go back or not?"

After Liu Chenyue said this, everyone's eyes turned to Situ Yan who was silent on the main seat.

Situ Yan was originally looking out of the tent with deep eyes, as if he was lost in thought.When everyone's eyes were on him, his eyes darkened, and the smile on his lips also deepened, and he said slowly: "The general is out, and the king's life will not be tolerated."

The capital, the mansion of the right prime minister.

The capital enters summer later than the border, and with Li You taking good care of it, all kinds of flowers are still blooming in the prime minister's mansion, and the sea of ​​flowers is full of beauty and interest.

The Prime Minister on the right, Li You, likes exotic flowers and plants the most. He carefully takes care of the flowers and plants in the mansion. The rockery promenade is surrounded by flowers and plants. Camellia, magnolia, and other flowers in late spring are competing for beauty at this time. The warm fragrance.

Li You prefers crabapple flowers, and the crabapple flowers in the Begonia Hall are still blooming right now.

Begonia flowers are planted on the edge of the Jiuqu promenade. When the wind blows, the pink flowers fall on the promenade, which is very interesting.Tables and chairs of purple nanmu are placed in the corridor, and veils embroidered with crabapple flowers are hung on both sides. The wind blows, the fragrance of flowers and wine, although there is no sound of silk and bamboo, it still makes people intoxicated.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the Begonia Pavilion where guests were treated. The person on the left was dressed in black and covered most of his face with a black mask, only his jaw was exposed. "Nightmare", Yu Feng; one is Shen Qichang, who is in his 40s and wears armor, and is not angry but mighty.

Li You in the middle, wearing a purple official robe, has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are full of light, revealing the calculation and shrewdness of the officialdom.

"The prime minister's fortunes come and go, even the crabapple flowers in the mansion know, and they have extended the flowering period specially to congratulate the prime minister." Yu Feng said.

Holding the white jade cup, Li You offered a cup to Yu Feng, "I can be reused by the emperor this time, thanks to the Pavilion Master for his help."

Yu Feng accepted it calmly, and after putting down the cup, an unpredictable smile lit up in his eyes.

Li You is really an old fox.He knew clearly that he wasn't that person, but he didn't change his old address and pretended he didn't know anything.

But that's fine, it took a lot of thought to cooperate with a smart person like Li You.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, as long as the Prime Minister doesn't forget the deal he made that day. Let's make an agreement, I will help the Prime Minister restore his post, and the Prime Minister will strongly recommend you to become a national teacher in front of the emperor. Now the Prime Minister has The official is reinstated, and the Prime Minister remembers to fulfill his promise as soon as possible." Yu Feng said with a smile, but there was a faint threat.

When Greedy Night left the capital, Yu Feng took over all the affairs of Xingxiu Pavilion in the capital.But why is Yu Feng willing to listen to others?At the beginning, he was seriously injured, and after being rescued by Greedy Nightmare, he was at the mercy of Greedy Nightmare, but it was because of the situation.Greedy Nightmare has left the capital now, so what if he takes his place?

But according to Greedy Nightmare's character, if he knows what he did in the capital, he will die.He must consolidate his power before Tanyan discovers the changes in the capital. Even if one day, he really confronts Tanyan, he doesn't have to be afraid of him.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to gain Situ Rui's trust, and with Situ Rui's support, he can have more bargaining chips to fight against.

When Li You heard Yu Feng's words, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the pavilion master, what I promise to the pavilion master will definitely be done. Now the emperor trusts the pavilion master extremely, as long as you remove For those who are in the way, the position of national teacher is naturally not a problem."

"Is there anyone else in the way besides Nalan's family?" Shen Qichang poured a glass of wine and said angrily, "Although the patrol battalion is under my management, Nalan Yun's prestige in the patrol battalion is very high. Today, the Patrol Battalion cannot become my confidant!"

No wonder Shen Qichang would be so annoyed. Now that Shen Qichang is in charge of the patrol battalion and the imperial guards in the capital at the same time, it seems very beautiful, but most of the patrol battalion are old subordinates who have followed Nalan Yun for many years. He dared to say something, but he refused to accept it from the bottom of his heart.

Coupled with the fact that Situ Rui was suspicious, no matter how much he trusted Shen Qichang, he would not entrust the safety of the imperial palace in the capital to Shen Qichang alone.

A few days ago, Shen Qichang desperately placed his own people in the forbidden army, which had already touched Situ Rui's bottom line.Situ Rui is currently promoting Qu Moyan's influence while suppressing Shen Qichang.

The matter of the Forbidden Army is a foregone conclusion, Shen Qichang has no way to resist, but he must firmly control the generals of the patrol battalion no matter what.Otherwise, he will fall short!
