Chapter 4 Secretly Suspended
Huanxuan took a breath and woke up leisurely, "Wang Wei? What's wrong with you..." Huanying's words suddenly stopped. She found that Zhuo Ruitong was actually holding her hand. She panicked and quickly pulled her hand away from Zhuo Ruitong's palm. In embarrassment, she lowered her eyes and said nothing for a moment.
Zhuo Ruitong, such a smart person, fell into his eyes with joy and embarrassment. He immediately realized that he was in a hurry and became more common. He hurriedly and then covered up his unfinished words. "I just wanted to visit you in the Liu Goblet Palace, but I happened to meet Xiao Ci, saying that the porridge made by the cook was not to your taste, and I felt too greasy. However, it took too long to make it again, so I accompanied Xiaoci to ask by the way. In the morning, there were still a lot of hundred-flower lily porridge commonly used by my mother's concubine, which was so lucky. The cook said that he had to make an extra bowl every time. I was afraid that the old lady was not enough, so I quickly told him to bring it to you when it was hot. Well, Xiaoci, please bring the porridge. I'll let the girl taste it. I won't get tired of it.
As Zhuo Ruitong turned around to pick up Xiaoci's plate, he saw Xiaoci winking at him. He immediately realized that he had made another mistake. When waiting for the cook to heat the porridge outside the kitchen of the royal palace, Xiaoci told him that Huanxuan insisted on calling Xiaoci his wife. Zhuo Ruitong's face was still, and his heart did not feel pain. Unfortunately, the memory that the woman has always left him is a smart and beautiful person. In addition, there are also some bold and naughty people. In any case, King Wei can't connect the Huanling in his mind with a lady. As a result, he really made a slip of the tongue when he thought so.
Huanxuan glimpsed Xiaoci's look and thought she didn't know. Zhuo Ruitong easily opened the topic and relieved her embarrassment. Isn't it too uninteresting to take the title more seriously?
"Xiao Ci, what are you still standing for? Why don't you help me get up?" Huanxuan ordered indifferently.
A fresh fragrance of flowers penetrated into the lungs with rice porridge. Suddenly, it seemed to return to the imperial palace. The purple vine spread and wrapped around the corridor. The sun shone obliquely. The palace people's skirts swayed, attracting the wind back fragrance. It was too gorgeous. When I looked back, I always felt that it was not real. I thought it was not real, but another scene was clear and continuous. Entangled and lingering.
"Is the old lady all right?" Huanxuan reluctantly suppressed her mind and asked Zhuo Ruitong, "Is she still used to living in this northern country? I haven't seen her since you left Beijing for ten years!"
"Well, my mother's body has always been healthy. After all, when she was young, she was an embroiderer in the loom in the palace, which was not as delicate as a celebrity's daughter. Until now, the mother still has the habit of spinning. Although the old eyes are dizzy, she can no longer weave brocade, the white cloth she spun is smooth and soft, but in the past two years, the mother concubine is devout. Buddha, you have set up another clean room in the backyard of the palace. If you want to see it, when you are completely healed, I will take you there!"
Huanxuan nodded and nodded, "It turns out that the pious heart is beyond the Buddha. No wonder even the porridge she drinks is very quiet and detering. Isn't it disturbing the purity of the Buddhist hall when people like Huanxuan go to worship?"
"Oh, how can it be? The mother concubine also often misses you, saying that it is the most regrettable that when she was in the capital, she could not spin the most gorgeous brocade satin in the world. In fact, at that time, the mother's concubine's eyesight was not very good, and even the weaving of plain brocade was extremely reluctant." Zhuo Ruitong said with a wry smile, "Hua brocade is just one of her dreams."
Joy lingered silently. When the former emperor was lucky that the embroidered concubine was only a visit to the palace, he saw the beauty of the embroidered concubine on a whim, but the late emperor did not pay attention to the weaver girl in the weaving room. Later, because the embroidered concubine was pregnant with a dragon's fetus, she had to be named a concubine. It is said that since the embroidery concubine gave birth to Zhuo Ruitong, she never received the first With the emperor's favor, even Zhuo Ruitong is the least valued by the four princes. Speaking of which, the embroidered concubine and Ruitong are also sad and lamentable.
Is it the people of the imperial family who are naturally ruthless, or does the palace make them ruthless one by one?
"Eat it quickly. When the porridge is cold, it will not be so fragrant!" Zhuo Ruitong smiled and advised, "It seems that my mother's taste is similar to that of my mother's concubine, so it's easy to do. In the future, when I ask the cook in the palace to cook for my mother's concubine, I will also make you one for you. Isn't it happy that you can benefit from each other and make the beauty smile?"
Zhuo Ruitong said procrastinatingly, shaking his head and shaking his head. He couldn't help laughing like those sour Confucians. He laughed, "Ok, don't worry, the goose bumps all over his body are about to rise. Oh, really, he hasn't seen him for a few years. Did King Wei also learn to talk and laugh?"
"Some will naturally change, but some will never change. It's great to see you smile!" Zhuo Ruitong said meaningfully. In fact, there is still a sentence that he didn't dare to say, that is, "You don't know that your smile has haunted me for four years!"
Hearing this, Huanying's smile that had just floated was fleeting. She put the remaining half a bowl of porridge into the plate and regained her uprightness and said, "There is Lao Wei Wang, Huanying feels much better!"
Zhuo Ruitong looked at the residual porridge and did not reluctantly linger. "Well, take your time to recuperate. In time, I believe it will be completely better. Then Ruitong said goodbye. Although Wei Guo is not enough to talk about it, there are also people in the world. If trivial chores are not dealt with in time, it will accumulate troubles. You can have a good rest and wait for me. In the spare time, I will accompany you!"
"The king of Wei is so polite. The king of Wei has saved me a life. How can I afford to accompany the king of Wei? As the king of Wei, I should put the king's affairs first. Go ahead. Don't worry about me. I know my body. It's no big deal!" Although Huanxuan leaned against the head of the bed, he still bowed politely, "Forgive Huanxuan, I can't see you off. Please go first!"
Zhuo Ruitong hurriedly turned the bowl to Xiaoci and got up and replied, "Shame, shame, Ruitong will come as soon as he goes!"
Looking at the figure of Zhuo Ruitong leaving, she was so happy that she wanted to say something and thought about it. Xiaoci, who had never interrupted, looked at it in her eyes, so she asked lightly, "Madam seems to have something to ask the Lord, right? Xiaoci dared to guess that it must be about the doubts in the palace. The empress dowager gave Yingfei poisoned wine, and there was no warning in advance. When Yingfei was blocked by the empress dowager, the queen, the emperor, and a group of people in the imperial palace, the whole palace had been closed. There was martial law inside and outside the imperial city. How did my master predict it thousands of miles away? Will your wife encounter misfortune and then rescue her?"
Huanying sneered gently, "Yes, I'm worthy that the king of Wei trusts you so much and has placed you in the harem for many years. Even what I think can't escape your eyes. Although I used to hate you very much, today I have to praise you for being smart and sensitive. Let's talk about how capable you are to change the poisoned wine and in the Empress Dowager. Under my eyes, smuggled me out of the palace?"
"Exchange and smuggling", Xiaoci smiled, "Actually, it's very simple. What my wife drank is the fake death medicine specially given to Xiaoci by Wei Wang. After taking it, the person is like real death. However, this medicine Xiaoci was originally left for her in case, and I didn't want to do it with my wife first. After trying, after the lady was encorisonated, Xiaoci hid the Yulin guard, changed her clothes for her, and then secretly carried her away at night and put her into the prepared carriage. Xiaoci already had the palace token given by Queen Zhen. Naturally, she left the palace all the way, and there was no search.
What Xiaoci said is relaxed, but she is quite confused. Xiaoci is the maidservant close to the palace. Although there is a token to go out of the palace, the Yulin guard is not so lazy. In addition, since the rise of the king of Wu, the capital has been coaxed everywhere. Rumors are flying everywhere. Isn't Xiaoci suspicious of driving out of the palace alone? Question mark
Huanying endured it. She didn't want to reveal anything. Although the Empress Dowager Li had always been dissatisfied with herself, she suddenly turned her face and forced her with poisoned wine, which was a layer of puzzle in itself. At least now she still can't figure out the story. The rest doesn't seem to be so eager to know the truth.
"So, the matter of returning to Wei County was also sent a message after you left the palace? How dare you act without asking your Lord? For my irrelevant life, it's a waste of you to sneak in the harem for many years. It seems that it's too bad!"
"What did your wife say? How could your wife be irrelevant? When your wife entered the palace, the emperor married Zhen Mei on the same day and married her. Zhen Mei was the distant nephew of the Empress Dowager Li. At that time, the Lord expected that the Empress Dowager Li was afraid that she would embarras the lady, so she secretly wrote to me and asked me to pretend to obey the Empress Dowager, in case the situation turned evil. When the situation is critical, don't worry about saving your wife!" Xiaoci whispered softly and expressionless, as if she were talking about an event that had nothing to do with her.
Huanxuan took a look at her. Zhuo Ruitong was always a gentleman. Maybe because of the relationship between the concubine, he was much more tolerant and resolute than Yuan Can. Thinking about those years, the three of them were under Mr. Qi Kang's door. Yuan Can was more like Ruitong's follower than Ruitong's follower than Ruitong's brother. Everything was Zhuo Ruitong's idea. What went wrong? It was also Ruitong who blocked Yuan Can, which showed that Ruitong's courage to act. Of course, Zhuo Ruitong's righteousness is not only limited to the maintenance of Yuan Can. In retrospect, Ruitong actually has many places to take care of herself. In addition to asking her fool to make her little jokes, I really can't remember that Zhuo Ruitong once bullied her, but at that time Huanxuan always feels that Zhuo Ruitong is older than himself and Yuan Can, and thinks that it is just a matter of course.
Ruitong can arrange for Xiaoci to stay in the palace. Naturally, there is a way to communicate with Xiaoci. Xiaoci can't find any loopholes in this. The only thing that Huanying did not expect that in these years, Ruitong was still so heartful and heartful... When he read this word, a trace of gratitude just gushed out of Huanying suddenly disappeared without a trace. Experience The change of the court is from birth to death and from death to life. What else can be believed? Zhuo Ruitong's heart, thousands of miles away for nearly four years, will it be as simple and heroic as when he was a teenager?
"Oh, Xiaoci is talking nonsense. What the lady wants to ask about the Lord is not the past in the palace at all, but the news of Changsun Taishi Ling." Xiaoci suddenly smiled and laughed at herself slightly. "If it's really a matter in the palace, the lady can judge me directly. There is no need to find the Lord at all."
"Yes, everything in the palace has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to investigate what happened!" Huanxuan only felt that every time he heard the palace and talked about the palace, he couldn't help but feel disgust and tingling.
"Well, although the Lord can find out the news of his wife's parents, although the Lord can find out, the wife has just woken up and has not seen the Lord for several years. It is inevitable that she has added some life points. She is worried about causing trouble to the Lord, so she put up with it and didn't say anything. Let Xiaoci talk nonsense, isn't it, madam?" Xiaoci stared at Huanxuan very carefully. She knew the feelings of Concubine Xuan for the emperor, but would Concubine Xuan think about the Lord as much as she did? She can't be sure.
Huanxuan sighed deeply, "You have guessed enough about everything, but you guessed this point wrong. I'm afraid of causing trouble to the king of Wei, but I'm worried that it's useless to ask!"
