Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 293

"This old man is just overtired, ma'am, don't worry!" Xuanyuan Yi helped the old man sit on the grass, silently watching the refugees walking in twos and threes by the side of the road, his handsome face tensed.


"Old man... Thank you, young man, thank you very much, young man." The old lady watched Xuanyuan Yi help his wife to pat the dust off his body, her old face couldn't help overflowing with infinite restraint and emotion, and tremblingly thanked Xuanyuan Yi, but was rejected He stopped quickly: "You don't have to say thank you, aunt. Now the country is in trouble, and your home is not safe, so you have to suffer.".


"Young man, you are..." The old lady wiped her eyes with her hand, looking at such an outstanding young man in front of her, and listening to him talk about the great principles of family, country and world, she couldn't help opening her mouth slightly, trying to see clearly, Who is the good boy in my life.


"Cao Zijian!" Xuanyuan Yi turned around to look at Cao Zijian who came off his horse, his handsome eyes were deep, and with his back to the two old people, he asked, "How long has the city gate been closed?".

Cao Zijian was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Return to the general, it has been blocked for three days!".


"Have all the people of Guyang entered the pass?" Xuanyuan Yi asked again.

"This... never." After hesitating for a moment, Cao Zijian's slightly ashamed voice drifted in the cool morning wind, but it made the two old people behind Xuanyuan Yi groan and couldn't help crying: "My son, My son...".


"Cao Zijian, pass on our military order. From now on, if the fleeing people are under the city, they will open the city and let them go." Xuanyuan Yi raised his voice, ignoring Cao Zijian's horrified eyes, turned around and threw the silver on his body to the two elders, saying: "Two old men, Now that the border gates are raging with flames, you should hurry to the inner city to avoid being implicated by the war!".


"Hey!" The old lady took the silver bag and looked at the young man flying on the horse in a little bewilderment, holding the silver and not knowing what to say.

The young man on the horse galloped away like the wind, and Cao Zijian, who was behind him, looked at his galloping back and thought for a moment, then jumped on the horse and headed towards the city quickly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The sound of the piano is murmuring, and the fragrance of flowers is around the nose. Under the clear blue sky, the leisurely and crisp sound of the piano is becoming more and more quiet and melodious, making people intoxicated.

When Yun Qing slowly approached the Empress Dowager's Xiangning Palace, he heard a pleasant sound of the piano, accompanied by the breeze, drifting into his ears leisurely.


"Slaves/servants see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!" Seeing Yun Qing approaching, the court ladies and eunuchs on both sides bowed and saluted, loudly announcing the news of the empress' arrival to the palace.


There was a slight pause in the sound of the piano, and seeing Yun Qing coming, the beautiful woman who was chatting on the piano in the garden also hurriedly straightened up, gave a slight blessing to Yun Qing who came slowly, and said softly: "My concubine greets the queen sister, sister Wanfu !”.


"Sister Zixian, excuse me!" Seeing Bai Zixian in a light blue dress appearing in the Empress Dowager's palace, Yun Qing was slightly taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a light smile to signal her excuse.


"Thank you, Empress!" Bai Zixian lowered her beautiful eyes, and when she saw the beautiful woman wrapped in red makeup appearing in front of her eyes, the shock from her heart still made her feel inexplicably sad.


Perhaps, only in the place where there is no her can I feel that kind of tranquility.It's a pity that by Yun Qing's side, she will always become just a bold and inconspicuous green makeup, just to wrap her delicate and elegant makeup.


"Yun Qing pays respects to the empress! The empress is auspicious!" Yun Qing turned to smile and bowed down to Situ Xianyufu who was sitting in the gazebo drinking tea and listening to the piano, but she only raised her fingers and said softly: " The queen is free!".


Yun Qing also smiled slightly, and didn't care about the empress dowager's extremely indifferent attitude, and still smiled lightly: "The empress mother is in a good mood today! Hehe, sister Zixian plays the piano really sweetly, I listened to it from afar All feel good."


"Yes, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the queen has to assist the emperor in government affairs every day. At this age, I have nothing to do all day long. I can't help if I want to. I have to listen to the piano for entertainment. It's better than bothering you when I have nothing to do." Situ Xian Yuyu was unhappy, and she didn't pay attention to Yun Qing's arrival at all, with a slight complaint on her face, Yun Qing felt a little astringent when she saw her.


"Mother, Yun Qing knows that the past few days have made the mother angry. The emperor didn't mean not to visit the mother. After Brother Yi left..." Yun Qing knew that the mother was angry that she and the emperor did not keep Xuanyuan Yi, leaving him alone. The shadow land went to the western border land, which made the queen mother heartbroken all the time.


In addition, she and Zegen are very busy these days, not to mention coming to comfort the mother, even the occasional greetings are also in a hurry.Sometimes Ze Zai would be called away by ministers rushing to Xiangning Palace on the way, leaving only Yun Qing to come to visit the Queen Mother in a hurry, and then leave in a hurry due to various trivial matters.


"Don't mention Yi'er to the Ai family. Your emperor and queen are in charge, and the Ai family can't say anything at all. Now the Ai family has not asked much. I heard Zixian's piano sound very much to the Ai family's taste two days ago. , so the Ai family only wants Zi Xian to come and accompany the Ai family more. This shouldn’t disturb the love between the emperor and the queen, right?” Situ Xianyu interrupted Yun Qing coldly, her face full of impatience Yun Qing's heart was slightly astringent, and a feeling of speechlessness overflowed her heart.


She knew that her mother still couldn't accept the relationship between herself and Ze. Regarding Ze Xu's promise to her as a couple for the rest of her life, although the enemy was no longer able to force her mother to intervene, but every time this matter was mentioned, the mother's emotions Still very excited.

It seems that I am a sinner!A sinner who stole three thousand favors from the harem and caused turmoil in the country.


"It's good that the queen mother likes it! Hehe, sister Zixian will be hardworking!" Yun Qing's face was gloomy, seeing that the queen mother didn't like her staying here, a shy smile appeared on her face, and she turned to look at Bai Zixian lightly. The slight salute surprised her, and she hurriedly said modestly: "The queen should not be so polite, it will ruin my concubine's life.".
