Chapter 3 Game in troubled times
"Well, has her situation been explained to her by the Lord?" Nie Kong faced a game of chess alone, attacked and defended himself, and asked without raising his head, as if he was the real master, and the person who came was just his entourage.
Zhuo Ruitong did not answer immediately, let alone care about Nie Kong's attitude. They have been with each other for so long. Nie Kong is not so much the staff of the king of his guard as his brother. Zhuo Ruitong is close to the table, sat on the stool on the other side, looked at the chess on the table, and suddenly said lightly, "It's always such a person. Come down, don't you feel bored!"
Nie Kong dropped a black boy in the chessboard and glanced at Zhuo Ruitong. "I often advise the Lord to grind more chess, but the Lord has no intention to sit still. What can I do? There is only one person who wins and loses.
Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be garlic. You know what I mean!"
"Of course I know!" Nie Kong picked up a white son and hesitated to hover on the chessboard. He didn't fall for a long time. "That's why I asked the Lord if he had confessed to the noble concubine Xuan frankly, but it is also estimated that the Lord did not say it clearly."
Zhuo Ruitong sighed, "How can I bear it? Even a man like you and me can't stand such a great change, let alone a weak woman?"
"In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't get the support of Xuan Guifei!" Nie Kong finally failed to drop the white piece. He put down his hanging arm and turned the chess pieces in his fingers. "At the juvening point of the king of Wu's uprising, as long as the famous people in the capital were slightly dissatisfied with the power of his foreign relatives, almost all of them were purged by the Li family, but the public's will not be violated. Reversedversion will only arouse more fierce calls. At this moment, it will lingering The spread of the truth of the concubine's death will undoubtedly be a heavy blow, which is enough for the world to see the woman's heart. The problem is that if Concubine Xuan was saved by the Lord and hid in the Wei Palace by us, she did not die. Once she is informed, the credibility of the information we released will be criticized. Therefore, I hope that Concubine Xuan can cooperate best. As long as she dies and refuses to admit that she is Concubine Eng, there is nothing she can do with her. Of course, if she doesn't want to, we have to retreat and take the second place. We must strictly ensure that the people of Wei Gong will not leak the news. In addition, we must not let Concubine Xuan leave Wei Gong. At least, before the situation in the world is clear, the secret of Concubine Xuan's life cannot be revealed!"
"The Central Plains has become a pot of porridge. How can I be willing to let her go back?" Zhuo Ruitong sighed repeatedly, "It's just that you should know me, Nie Kong, and take advantage of the pain of death of others to destroy the family and write an article. It is not what I want. Although Li's behavior is disgusting, we only dare to stir up the situation with unright means in a corner. Is it also a small act of shame?"
"Weijun is remote, but it has been a line of defense against Beirong since ancient times. Unless the Lord wants the barbarians to ** the Central Plains, how can it be easy to move troops? In addition, the king of Wu, under the banner of anti-foreign relatives, just found a grand reason for his rebellion. The Lord is probably more clear about his real intention than the bottom. Since neither side is a good person, why should we have to stir up a head-on conflict? Only by provoking the situation and taking the way in chaos is the only feasible method. In fact, what is the truth? I don't understand, but it's just because I'm too concerned about a person, so I'm lost and hesitant!" Nie Kong rudely points to Zhuo Ruitong's pain. In his heart, he really doesn't want his King of Wei to be affectionate, which is related to the survival and development of Wei County. At this critical moment, how can he be delayed by the love of his children?
Zhuo Ruitong was silent for a moment. "The news of the death of Xuanfei has been kept secret until now. The people in the streets and alleys are speculating how to deal with Xuanfei after Li's party cut off Changsun Manmen. At this moment, if we take the initiative to attack, it is the first to release the rumors of Xuanfei's murder. It's the right time, Nie Kong, you can do it. As for the encubine, I will slowly and gently explore her thoughts in the next few days.
"It's best for the Lord to make such a decision!" Nie Kong no longer hesitated, quickly fell the white one, and said with a smile, "Lord, please see, once this chess falls, has the situation of both black and white changed?"
Xiaoci wet the handkerchief with warm water, carefully wiped Huanxuan's face and hands, brought a cup of mouthwash tea and put it on the table. "Girl, I know you are awake and don't bother to take care of others. Why don't you gargle your mouth a little and barely eat something? My master said that people who haven't eaten for several days will completely lose their desire to eat. They have to force themselves to adjust little by little. Don't be drowsy.
Huanling did not move. She is indeed awake for a long time. However, although she is far away from her hometown, what can she do after waking up? She just wants to lie down and lie down like this forever, no one disturbs.
Seeing this, Xiaoci suddenly knelt down in front of the bed. "Girl, Xiaoci knows that the girl hates me, but Xiaoci has always been a member of the king of Wei. For the sake of the king of Wei, Xiaoci is willing to stay with the Empress Dowager Li as an eyeliner. Later, she was sent to serve the Empress Dowager. Xiaoci knew that the Empress Dowager was suspicious and indulgent. If she wanted to gain their trust, she could only follow her. Our thoughts are to do some disgraceful things, including embarrassing the girl and framing the girl. Xiaoci doesn't want the girl to forgive me now. It's just that the girl has just walked between life and death, and she should feel sorry for herself. If she loses her body because of anger, it will not only waste the pains of the king of Wei, but also make her relatives happy, but also Nothing will help!"
The lingering eyelids jumped. Xiaoci was right. She thought she was desperate to live, but she just walked around the hell and came back. Since she came back, why did she hurt a ruthless man again? It's even more ridiculous to die in despair. At the moment when she almost lost the loss, he once regretted a little for her. The king's heart is already full, even if he dies a thousand times again, it's just a fut-hearted laugh.
Huanxuan struggled to half stand up. Xiaoci hurried forward to help raise the pillow. Huanxuan leaned against the head of the bed and handed over the mouthwash tea. "Girl, please!"
"When you wake up, you keep opening your mouth and calling me a girl." With a sip of tea, the fragrance curled, the bitter lips and teeth suddenly felt extremely refreshing, and the spirit was also refreshed.
He threw up at the pen near the front of the small porcelain. Huanying continued, "At least I'm still a concubine. Even if I have died once, I haven't been a girl for a long time. I married someone else's wife. No matter how long it goes by, it will be a remnant of yellow leaves. From then on, you will still be called my wife!"
"Yes, madam..." Xiaoci turned dark, "But as far as Xiaoci knows, the emperor and his wife did not..."
"Shut up!" Huanxuan interrupted Xiaoci in a harsh voice and scolded, "It's not your turn to chew your tongue about the matter between me and the emperor, and you don't want to mention to me that the emperor is not emperor again!"
"Xiao Ci understands!" Xiaoci bent her knees slightly and said, "Then please wait a moment, and I'm going to have breakfast!"
Exiting from the bedroom, Xiaoci turned to the corridor behind the Goblet Palace. The attitude of Concubine Xuan was really expected, but Concubine Xuan insisted on calling herself a lady. It was really a little awkward. I don't know what King Wei would feel when he heard this title. Isn't it a sound to poke a needle in the heart of King Wei?
As the saying goes, liking a person will become special**, including the other party's attitude towards others. Although Wei Wang has never revealed a word, Wei Wang's concern and anxiety have long been seen by Xiaoci and fell into her heart. I don't know from which year, her Wei Wang is even more important than her own life, only Unfortunately, after seven years in the palace and returned to Weijun, she could only look at each other quietly from afar, for his pain, and for his worries.
After tasting the white porridge brought by the small porcelain, Huanling put down the spoon, "It's too greasy!" She pushed the open cup lightly, "Although I'm good at it, I'm going to cook it slowly with chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and other soups, but I really can't eat such a greasy thing now. You can retreat!"
"But the Lord said, Miss... Oh, no, what else would you like to eat if you don't eat porridge?"
Huanying sighed, "It's just a simple white porridge. If you make these complicated things, you can't swallow them!"
"Yes, the little porcelain is going to order the kitchen to redo it!" Xiaoci had no choice but to withdraw from the Goblet Palace again.
When Huanying waited for Xiaoci to go out, she groped for her shoes and got out of bed. She had caught a glimpse of the bronze mirror on the dressing table. Out of the nature of a woman, or perhaps the emotion of the rest of her life after the disaster, she was anxious for no reason. She just wanted to see what she was like now.
There was a burst of dizziness, and her eyes were black. Her body was indeed too weak. Huanying held the bed railing and moved slowly. Ren Xu sweat crawled all over her forehead. She couldn't figure it out for a few days when she fainted. But it was thousands of miles away from the capital to Weijun, at least it would take six or seven days to arrive, right?
On June 7th, has the obituary of the death of the imperial concubine has been issued? When my parents heard the news, were they drinking tears at home? Dad, you often say that the king's salary is to bear the king's affairs. As a minister, you can't ignore the people of the world for one's own selfishness. My daughter did so. Just before she died, she wanted to share the emperor's problems, but they treated me so cruelly. Is your loyalty right or wrong?
Please forgive your daughter's incompetence. She has no power to persuade you, nor can she be filial to her parents. I hope you can take care of yourself, let your daughter get better, and have the ability to calm down, and then return to the capital to pick up your parents away from the place of right and wrong. From then on, the sky is high and the water is wide, and you will no longer participate in the struggle for power and interests of those palace nobles. What do they really do for the people?
Huanxuan approached the dressing table step by step and saw the scattered woman in the bronze mirror step by step. Her pale face and deep eyes were deep. It was not an exaggeration to say that she looked like a female ghost. Is this still her? Or was she once praised by Yuan Can as a charming concubine? Huanxuan's hand rubbed back and forth on the bronze mirror, and tears flowed down. From the beginning to now, if she hadn't been stimulated by the woman in the bronze mirror, she would have thought she would never cry again. Yes, never. This was the last time. The man was not even worth her tears for him. The last time, she was for I hate the past and the pain is unbearable!
"Ah, madam, what's wrong with you? Why did you get out of bed? Ouch!" When Xiaoci returned to the Liu Goblet Palace with a porridge plate, she found Huanxuan sitting on the dressing stool and fainted in front of the bronze mirror, screaming with fear.
A pair of warm and powerful hands quickly picked her up and gently put her in **. Then the window was opened two, and the fresh air poured in, making the indoor people's breathing much smoother.
"Huanxuan, wake up, are you feeling better?" Those warm and powerful hands held the lingling delicate jade fingers, "It's said that you have to recuperate for a few days before you can recover. Why are you so impatient? If you want to look in the mirror, just tell Xiaoci to bring it to you!"
