Chapter 211 A Message

After being sad for a while, Yong Wei gradually passed her emotions, and asked Xia Chu if she was still used to the inner court these days, and if she had been bullied.

Xia Chu pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head.

"That's right, you're a headhunter, so you won't let others bully you easily." Yong Wei smiled, stretched out her hand again, and shook the back of Xia Chu's hand across the table, "After the draft, the palace will definitely It's not so quiet anymore, if someone troubles you, just come to Fengyi Palace to find me."

"Thank you madam."

Qianqian said from the side: "Servant Xia Dian will be an imperial attendant in the future, but he should also help the empress more."

Yongwei read it softly, and said to Qianqian reproachfully: "Who do you think I am?" Seeing that Xia Chu looked at her silently, she felt a little embarrassed, and exerted a little force on her hand, as if she was afraid Xia Chu seemed not to believe her words, and said, "Don't listen to this girl, Hu Qin, I fell in love with you, and I was very happy to see you. I asked Jiang Shangyi to bring you here today, but I didn't have any intention of using it."

Yong Wei's palms were dry and warm, Xia Chu looked at her smiling face, and suddenly felt a lot of guilt in his heart.After a while, he lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Xia Chu understands, I also like your empress very much."

The two talked a little more, but Xia Chu felt his heart sinking, so he managed to stay focused.When it was near Si, Tao Shanggong from the Shanggong Bureau came to report the matter, and Xia Chu got up to resign and left Fengyi Palace.

The sun had already hung high in the southern sky, and the shadows of the palace walls and halls were short. Xia Chu lowered his head and walked towards the inner courtyard under the shade of the wall, feeling very bad.

Out of instinctive pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages, she did not mention Jiang Xiyuan's feelings for her to Yongwei, nor did she mention the story entanglement between her and Su Zhen.But this made her very uncomfortable, feeling like the kind of person she hated the most, deceiving all her sincerity.

Su Zhen's words of confession are still in her ears, and the scene by the lake in Shujing Garden is still in front of her eyes. She is heartbroken and distressed. She often feels that he is still the Mr. Huang who sighed behind her back then, or the boy who made her stunned.

The reunion after a period of separation seemed to be regaining the old time, and it seemed to be slowly getting to know and get closer again, but she also felt so clearly that something was wrong, and the taste had changed.

She and Su Zhen are like a scratched disc, always stopping at a certain place, and then jumping back to the prelude of the song, never hearing the end, what the next song will be.

Xia Chu didn't know what to do.In other words, she knew that she had better go out of the palace, but she was afraid.

She was afraid of saying that to Su Zhen.She was so sad and sad about the farewell in the small courtyard, so she could imagine how sad and sad Su Zhen would be.

What's more, at that time, she never had expectations or imaginations about the future with Su Zhen, but Su Zhen is different now, he holds his heart, expresses his feelings, and is full of love hope.

I just imagined that Chu Xia felt overwhelmed, his nose was sore, and he wanted to cry.She was afraid to look into his eyes, afraid that such a cautious heart would be thrown to the ground by herself.

After returning to Shangyi Palace, Yuan Fang walked towards her, blessed her, couldn't hide her curiosity, and asked her: "Servant Xia Dian, I heard you went to Fengyi Palace?"

Xia Chu nodded and hummed lightly.

"Is the empress beautiful? Is she a good person?" Yuan Fang put his palms together and pressed his fingers against his chin, "Servant Xia Dian, have you seen the emperor?"

Xia Chu was a little puzzled, looked at her, smiled reluctantly: "I always hear you talking about the emperor, Yuan Fang..., do you like the emperor?"

"No way! Attendant Xia Dian, please don't say that, I..., I don't dare." Although Yuan Fang said this, his face blushed quietly, and his eyes were shining brightly with a smile, "I I just think the emperor looks good..."

She stopped to look at Xia Chu, and said anxiously: "Really not! Xia Dian will understand if he sees the emperor. I don't have any extravagant thoughts, and I am happy to watch from a distance. However, He Gong Who doesn't like the emperor among the women in the palace?"

That's right, which woman in the palace doesn't like the emperor?Who is not the emperor's woman?As long as he wants.Xia Chu was a little lost in thought, thinking about it and a little self-deprecating. In the eyes of others, he was not one of these people, that's all.

"Servant Xia Dian, please don't tell others. If someone who is interested listens to it, I will be out of luck." Yuan Fang said, bringing Xia Chu's thoughts back.Xia Chu nodded, and smiled a little tiredly, "Don't worry, what do I say?"

"I know Xia Dianshi is not that kind of person."

"So sure?"

Yuan Fang nodded, raised her head and thought for a while and said, "I entered the palace at the age of 13. From the previous dynasty to now, although no one pays attention to me, I will pay attention to others. I have met many people in this palace. I can see what kind of person he is and what kind of thoughts he has."

"Then what do you think I'm thinking?"

Yuan Fang was startled for a moment, thought for a while and then said: "I don't know. Xia Dianshi doesn't like to dress up. It's not the ambition." She paused, then said with a smile: "Sometimes I feel that Xia Dian's attendant on you is not from this palace, maybe he will leave someday."

Xia Chu smiled, but did not speak.

"But it's not so easy to leave after entering the palace." Yuan Fang sighed, and raised her hand to support Xia Chu's arm, "It's time to have lunch, and Xia Dian servant has to memorize the palace rules in the afternoon, so don't delay."

At night, Chu Xia didn't sleep well.She thought about Su Zhen, Jiang Xiyuan, and Yong Wei, but no matter how she thought about it, there was no perfect solution.

If someone is bound to be hurt in this complicated relationship, she really hopes it is herself.She even wondered if she should do her best to match Su Zhen and Yong Wei, and when Su Zhen's affection for her faded, she would ask him to let her out of the palace, and everything would be fine.

But Su Zhen is smart, so he wouldn't be able to see if he wanted to match him up?Knowing that he likes me but still doing this, it will hurt Su Zhen, and it will hurt even more, and it will make him and even Yong Wei disgusted.

Thinking left and right is not enough.Maybe it's because of seeing Yongwei, or maybe it's because he lost his backbone, Xia Chu misses Jiang Xiyuan so much at this moment.But this time is not the same as before, this is the imperial palace, even if Lord Jiang is here, there is probably nothing I can do.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that Chu Xia fell asleep lightly.In the dream, she saw Su Zhen sitting in the Liugu Pavilion, writing with a pen.She was standing outside the pavilion, she was very close but couldn't see his expression clearly, suddenly Jiang Xiyuan came, as if he didn't see her, he walked straight to Su Zhen's side.

"Your Majesty, let Xia Chu go out of the palace." Jiang Xiyuan said, "If the Emperor must let someone stay in the palace, I am willing to let her stay."

"Alright." Su Zhen picked up a lotus flower from the table and handed it to him, "Yong Wei must be very happy to see you."

A knock on the door awakened Xia Chu from her dream, and Yuan Fang called her outside in a low voice: "Has Xia Dian got up yet?"

Xia Chu responded, said that he would come soon, sat up and felt dazed for a while.Rubbing his slightly painful forehead, thinking of the absurd plot in the dream that hadn't faded away, he couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that he was crazy?It's really magical.

The whole morning passed in a state of absent-mindedness, and Xia Chu's mind was full of how to express his thoughts clearly to Su Zhen within the scope of the least damage.The final solution is still plausible, so I can only wait and see, find an opportunity to talk to him slowly.

In the afternoon, a piece of news spread in the palace, and everyone who stirred up it lost their thoughts.Even the admonishing aunts lost their usual sternness, and they got together to discuss it over and over again in their free time.Until Jiang Shangyi reprimanded everyone with a cold face and gave the order to keep silent.

The news has nothing to do with the harem, but it also concerns everyone—someone in Qingcheng County has rebelled.

Su Zhen received an urgent report from [-] miles early in the morning. It was sent by a county lieutenant to Qingcheng County with his confidant and servant, and then it was handed over to the post station to send it to the capital on a fast horse, and sent it to Su Zhen's case.

According to the report, someone in Qingcheng County found a stone book from the river receding from the water, and the book included all kinds of injustices of the current emperor, saying that Su Zhen killed his brothers and parents, and was not a son sent by heaven.The flood in Qingcheng County was caused by the punishment of God, which aims to grant the power of heaven to the people and punish the faint king.

It's an old trick, almost all uprisings have visions of one kind or another.Because the imperial power is ordered by heaven, if you want to overthrow the emperor, you can only be authorized by heaven.The people are ignorant and believe this.

The next thing is almost logical, someone discovers the stone book, and someone incites those people who have nowhere to complain about their suffering and have nowhere to vent their anger.Under the sonorous words, the blood oath was sworn, so they rose up.

Qingcheng County was hit by a disaster, and the relief money and food sent by the imperial court could not fill the stomachs of the people, but fattened the pockets of officials.Anyway, there is no way out, and rebellion is considered a soldier, at least someone is in charge.

The uprising started in Yanghu County, where the disaster was the worst, and within a few days it blew through several surrounding counties like the wind, and then all the people in Qingcheng County who couldn't live with happiness rushed here and gathered tens of thousands of people After the crowd, they actually seized a foothold in Tengshi County.This report was sent by the county captain of Tengshi County, maybe this person is no longer around.

When Su Zhen received the report, looking at the words 'killing brothers and parents, not a son of God', he felt that his blood was pumping back into his heart, his whole body was cold, but his heart was about to explode.Can't help but sneer again and again.

Under the Longshu case, the important officials of various ministries didn't even dare to catch their breath, and expressed their ideas cautiously.

"No matter how many thieves and rioters there are, they are nothing more than mobs. But it is easy to suppress, but it is difficult to appease the people. I think that since the thieves are referring to the emperor's tyranny, it is better for the court to send people to recruit them in a gentle manner."

"My minister seconded the proposal. The counties and counties around Qingcheng County have been affected, and it is inevitable to send troops to suppress people's hearts. The people's plan is to eat food. Instead of supplying soldiers, it is better to release food to the people. The bandits will not be able to attack themselves if they are in chaos. Crash."

Su Zhen sat on the dragon chair and watched coldly, without saying a word.
