Chapter 5 The Coming of Change

"For nothing?" Xiaoci's eyes were stingy, "What does madam mean? Xiaoci is stupid. Can you tell me in detail?"

Huanxuan did not answer immediately. He turned his head and lowered the pillow a little, changed his comfortable posture and turned his back to Xiaoci and half lay down. "So, do you think King Wei can help me explore?"

Xiaoci's face was a little embarrassed. "King Wei is definitely willing, but it's easy to get in touch. If your wife wants to get in touch, you have to wait for a while."

"That's the point!" Huanxuan closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be too lazy to take care of Xiaoci. "How long are you going to let me stay in Weijun?"

"Of course, after waiting for the lady to fully recover, and the court is unable to trace the deeds of the lady and the maidservant!" Xiaoci answered quickly. She thought that Huanxuan would continue to ask something, but after waiting for a long time, Huanxuan remained silent and motionless, as if she had indeed fallen asleep.

Xiaoci had to say, "Madam has a good rest, and the maidservant is waiting in the outside hall!"

After there was no sound in the bedroom, Huanxuan opened her eyes and looked at a few green branches outside the window. If what Xiaoci said was true, it would be more complicated than she expected. The key was the coffin of the concubine. Once it was found that the coffin was empty, would the Empress Dowager Li be willing to give up?

The usual trick of the court is nothing more than, on the one hand, still announcing the news of Yingfei's illness and death. On the other hand, it secretly investigates the wherement of Yingfei. Therefore, Xiaoci's last sentence seems to prove that her previous corpse theft is unlikely that her parents will know the truth. Although they are sad, they should be safe and sound. They are afraid of being stubborn and stubborn father. He had to open the coffin to see himself for the last time, and Huanying felt annoyed when he thought about it.

As an important minister of the early dynasty, Changsun Yisu was dissatisfied with the relatives and followers of the Empress Dowager Li. Only in the later period when the former emperor was seriously ill, she was ordered by the Empress Dowager Li to go home to take care of the world. Huanying was not appointed as the queen, but only as a concubine, which shows the Empress Dowager Li's hidden hatred for the Changsun family. Originally, she was not expected to harm her father. Now when she thinks about it carefully, it is getting more and more and more. There is no bottom.

Huanying was thinking nonsense alone, but Zhuo Ruitong pinched a military newspaper he had just received and fell into meditation. The figure outside the door shook, and a soft voice said, "Lord, Ning Ji has returned and called me to ask if the Lord is free. She is waiting for the Lord in the leisure pavilion!"

Zhuo Ruitong raised his eyelids gently, hesitated a little, and then answered, "I know, I'll be there later!"

"Ye!" The maid outside the door quickly kowtowed and retreated. Zhuo Ruitong stared at the other party's leaving figure and unconsciously frowned.

In the leisure pavilion, the high forest is shaded, and the rockery is staggered and the flowing water is gurgling. The woman in a green shirt and blue dress is pattering uneasily in the courtyard. From time to time, she has to look in the direction of the moon gate. When she sees the maidservant appear, she hurriedly stops and asks, "How about it, fear, did the prince say that he wants to come? When will you come?"

"The prince said, come later!" The maid named Wei'er lowered her eyebrows and answered, and then asked, "Dare you ask Madam, do you want to set the table to prepare tea now, or wait for the prince to come?"

"Do you still need to ask?" The green-shirted woman scolded, "The prince said that he would never go back on his word. Why don't you hurry up and prepare!"

After a while, Wei'er and several other maidservant put a large table in front of the flower garden in the courtyard, followed by a plate of fresh fruit snacks. After the green-shirted woman heard that the prince was coming, she settled down. She sat on the chair on the right side of the round table, picked up a pipa previously thrown on the flower garden platform, and opened He gently twisted and slowly opened it. Before the song was finished, Zhuo Ruitong's figure had appeared in front of the moon gate.

The green-shirted woman actually saw it a long time ago, but she pretended not to be aware of it. She was intoxicated and continued to play the song. It was not until Zhuo Ruitong came close that she suddenly woke up. She put down the pipa in a panic, panicked and bowed forward and said, "The cheap concubine Ning Tanger has seen the prince, and the cheap concubine just Gu played, I don't know that the prince is coming, please forgive me!"

"Cough!" Zhuo Ruitong looked like a smile. He didn't help Ning Tanger up. He sat down on the chair on the left side first. "Ning Ji's pipa is getting more and more proficient, but I don't know why today's music is very sad?"

Ning Tang'er couldn't wait for the help of King Wei, so she had to get up and say, "No, the concubine just plays with it at will and does it unintentionally. How dare she disturb the prince with mourning?"

"That's good!" Zhuo Ruitong responded casually and watched Wei'er bring hot tea and put it in front of him. Zhuo Ruitong opened the tea lid and stirred the tea casually. "Didn't you let Wen Jian accompany you to the Lingshan Palace to relax? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Oh, the prince, what did you say? Before leaving, the prince promised to come after finishing the matter at hand, but the concubine didn't see the prince's shadow. What's the point of the cheap concubine staying alone in the Lingshan Palace?" Ning Tanger pouted delicately and looked very aggrieved.

"What's waiting left and right, it's only three or five days!" Zhuo Ruitong not only didn't eat Ning Tanger's tricks, but his face became colder and colder. "The affairs of the royal palace are complicated. It's not that you don't know!"

"Yes! The concubine knows, that's why she came back to accompany the prince!" Ning Tanger changed her delicate voice and smiling face. "Your Highness, look, all the fruit forests around the Lingshan Palace are hanging. I specially asked my servants to pick some and bring them back to give the prince a taste. Here, this is the prince's favorite safflower fruit. It's sandy and sweet. It's almost cleaned. Please use it!"

Ning Tanger picked up a fruit plate and presented it to Zhuo Ruitong. Zhuo Ruitong looked at it and gently pushed it away. "Ning Ji has a heart, but I don't want to eat it now. In this way, my mother also likes fresh fruit very much. Just send some to Antang!"

"I sent someone to send it there as soon as I came back!" Ning Tanger smiled and said, "These are specially reserved for the prince by the cheap concubine. Seeing that the cheap concubine has worked so far, the prince can at least eat a few!"

"Well!" Zhuo Ruitong put down the lid of the tea cup, took a piece of fruit in his hand, and stood up at the same time, "Come back. I guess I won't be able to go to Lingshan Palace in the near future. If there is nothing else, you can rest early and travel hundreds of miles back and forth. You will work hard!"

"Is the prince leaving now?" Ning Tanger was stunned and even more disappointed.

"What else?" Zhuo Ruitong asked back.

Ning Tanger opened her mouth and stopped talking.

"Oi, I still have military affairs to deal with. Let's talk about it later!" Zhuo Ruitong said and walked away, as if he was afraid of staying in the leisure pavilion for another minute.

"Your Highness!" Ning Tanger finally couldn't help it. She put down the fruit plate and blocked the way in front of Zhuo Ruitong. "Your Majesty, I heard that an unknown half-dead woman came to our royal palace, didn't I?"

"What good news!" A trace of sarcasm appeared on the corners of Zhuo Ruitong's mouth. He had long guessed that there must be another reason why Ning Tanger rushed back from the Lingshan Palace a hundred miles away.

Ning Tanger's face couldn't stand it. "I don't have any well-in-ap news. It's just that I heard some rumors after returning to the palace. The prince, don't make a point, just say yes!"

"What does it have to do with you?" Zhuo Ruitong's eyes became cold, and even his heroic face became indifferent as ice. "Ning Tanger, I have an appointment with you. You shouldn't care about the matter of Weijun and Wei Wangfu, and you are not allowed to interfere in at all. Have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten my concubine!" Ning Tang'er showed a rare stubbornness. She stood in front of Zhuo Ruitong and stared at Zhuo Ruitong and said, "Although my concubine is stupid, I also know that the prince is ambitious, and I know that the current situation is turbulent. The forces of all parties may compete open or secretly. The concubine just wants to persuade the prince not to destroy the prince because of a thought. The whole plan!"

"What is the difference of one thought?" Zhuo Ruitong laughed angrily, "Do you think you are the wisest in the world?"

"The cheap concubine doesn't mean that," Ning Tanger lowered her eyebrows. "Although Weijun is remote, it is not as strong as the King of Wu, let alone comparable to the power of the court. However, the prince is also surnamed Zhuo. Even if the prince is open-minded, others may not be afraid of this Zhuo, so the prince should be careful. In the world, it is inevitable that some people with ghosts will approach the prince with various tricks to achieve their own selfish desires.

"Good to say!" Zhuo Ruitong looked at Ning Tanger meaningfully, "Why did I never find that Ai Ji still had the ability to speak righteously? There are indeed many people with ghosts in troubled times, but often the more high-sounding people are, the more they have other purposes, aren't they? Ha ha, my concubine has worked hard all the way, so don't think too much about it. I have my own eyes to know people, and I don't care about my concubine!"

"Your Majesty, I..." Ning Tanger heard that the words of King Wei were sarcastic. She was about to explain, but King Wei walked away impatiently, leaving Ning Tanger to stand alone. She was angry and annoyed that Ning Tanger had nowhere to vent. She walked to the big table, swept her sleeves across her sleeves, and swept off the cups and saucers on the table, cluttered. After that, the porcelain slices, melons and fruits were stained all over the ground.

Nie Kong closed the military newspaper and put it in the upper corner of the table. "I heard that there was a military newspaper coming in the morning, so I've been waiting for the Lord. I don't know why the Lord didn't come until now to ask for my opinion?"

Zhuo Ruitong shrugged his eyebrows helplessly, "What do you think? Ning Ji came back, so I had to deal with it for a while.

"Ning Ji?" Nie Kong was slightly stunned and then said, "It's so easy to send the god away. Come back quickly. It must be that those who come are not good will not come!"

"Humph!" Zhuo Ruitong snorted coldly, "Whrep whether she is kind or not, I'll let her go for the time being, just to confuse these guys."

Zhuo Ruitong's lower jaw gently and glanced at the military newspaper in the corner of the table.

"That's natural, but we originally expected that she would not come back until last month at least. In this way, the identity of the girl is more careful!"

"I will tell Xiaoci to pay attention to it and let her guard Huanling step by step, so that Ning Tanger has no opportunity to ride!"

Nie Kong pondered for a moment, "This is not appropriate. After all, Miss Xuan lives in the royal palace. With Ning Ji's arrogance, I'm afraid that a subordinate of Xiaoci can't stop it. Lord, you'd better get through to the wind with Miss Xuan first, at least tell her to beware, otherwise our plan is not only complete. It's not to mention that the market has failed, but it's more important to create momentum to provoke the struggle between the three parties.
