Chapter 8 [Double Exchange]

Chapter 8 [Double Exchange]

Just now, when Leng Xinmo helped Xiao Yan wipe the tea in his hand, he didn't push her away, which made her very happy. He left the pavilion, walked to the corridor, and looked up at the sky in a good mood. At this moment, the sunset has fallen on the horizon, and the clouds are dyed red. Looking around, it seems to be the orange yellow of the flame beating, which is so bright that people can't open their eyes.

Suddenly, a hand patted her gently from behind. She turned around and met Xiao Yan's unclear eyes and slightly blessed, "Your Majesty." I was so surprised that even my voice trembled.

Xiao Yan was not in such a good mood as Leng Xinmo, so she went straight to the topic, "Tonight, you have to stop your sister from going to bed." The tone revealed that it was unacceptable and very commanding.

Leng Xinmo was stunned, suspected that her ears had heard it wrong, and put away the smile at the corners of her mouth, "Your Majesty, you mean..."

"What I mean is that you go and stop Ru Mo from sleeping." Xiao Yan's eyes did not have a trace of temperature, and he repeated it impatiently. This time he used "Rumo" instead of "your sister".

"Why?" Leng Xinmo looked at Xiao Yan in shock and angrily. She only felt that his eyebrows were fierce, and his whole body exuded a deterrent temperament, which was very different from the gentleness of that day.

"Because she is the owner of the "mo" sachet, and she is also the person I like." Xiao Yan's voice was warm and gentle, but every word was like a sharp blade, piercing the bottom of Lengxinmo's heart.

She shuddered and shivered. She held the corridor frame in her hand to calm herself down and did not give up. "Your Majesty, how do you know that the sachet is not my concubine's, and I am also the daughter of the Leng family?"

"It doesn't matter whether it is right or not. What matters is what I said to you before." Xiao Yan stared at Leng Xinmo, with a firm confidence in his expression.

A sadness surged up in Leng Xinmo's heart, but she still squeezed out a smile and bowed and agreed, "The prince asked my concubine to stop it. I will try my best to do it, not because Ru Mo is my concubine's sister, but because of the prince..." After a pause, he got close to Xiao Yan, looked at his beautiful face like an infatuation, and said in a dream, "The prince likes his sister, so, can this love also be transferred to his sister?"

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that Leng Xinmo was bargaining with him. If he didn't agree to her, he would definitely not help. Because Ru Mo was her own sister, she would not help.

"Good. I can try it, but if you promise me, you must do it, otherwise, you will bear the consequences. He looked at the woman he didn't like and exchanged terms with her. He is only for his "Romo", the girl with a sachet. At first, he regarded the woman in front of him as the "sachet" girl, but she was not. When he saw the real owner of the "sachet", he knew that he had been fascinated by her for a long time. She was her sister "Ceng Rumo".

After Ru Mo ran out of her sister's "Leng Hua Hall", Ben held a trace of fantasy and felt that Xiao Yan would chase after her. Unexpectedly, no one was chasing her. In anger, she came to the water clock of the "Weiliang Pavilion". It happened that the tip of the arrow pointed to noon. The funnel turned over and the copper beads sliding down the bell stand fell into the toad under the bell. In her mouth, there was a buzzing sound, which scared her to take a step back. The stone steps under her feet stepped out and suddenly fell back.

When I thought I would fall and my face was blue and swollen, I found that it didn't hurt. Anyway, it was still very soft, with a smell of saliva, straight to the tip of her nose. She always frowned, not only frowned, her eyes up, and blurted out; "Why don't you let go of me?"

"Every time you are not poisoned, you fall down. It's really reassuring. It's safer to let me hold you a little longer." Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he could hold it for as long as he could. When he spoke, the warm breath reached her cheeks, and he only felt itchy, like the breeze brushed his face, which was heartbreaking.

When she was intoxicated, she suddenly got up, broke away from his arms, and pushed his hands. He almost fell down like she had just now. Fortunately, he reacted in time and his footsteps were steady, so he could not be embarrassing in front of her. He only heard her turn angry and happy on the stone steps and laughed out.

"Okay, how dare you laugh at me?" He stepped forward and deliberately pretended to be angry, but his face was full of smiles.

"How can the maidservant have the right to laugh at you, the prince? I was not very comfortable with the maidservant's sister just now. What will you do with me, the little maid of honor?" There was obviously a sense of anger in her words, and she pouted her mouth high.

"What kind of little maid of honor are you? Isn't the emperor going to make you a concubine?" He took her hand and asked with a wry smile.

"If I say that I don't want to be the imperial concubine, if I say that I didn't poison the emperor, if I say that everything I do is to avenge my father and brother, do you believe it?" She didn't pull her hand back, let him hold it, put her mouth down, and asked with tears in her eyes.

"I believe it." He answered firmly, stared at her pupils with clear eyes, stuffed the sachet in his hand into the palm of her hand, buttoned her fingers, and smiled gently, "Because you are the owner of the sachet."

She opened her hand and saw that the sachet embroidered with the word "mo" finally came back to her side. She couldn't help laughing in surprise, "It finally came back to me."

"There is a small secret recipe in this sachet, which says that ordinary incense can turn into poison if you use too much incense, so if you don't poison the emperor, you can also poison the emperor?" The corners of his lips flew, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears, but his eyes seemed to warn something.

"The prince didn't have enough to dive deep into the palace that night, did he?" She didn't care what he just said and turned to him, with a confident smile at the corners of her mouth, more like a demonstration.

He locked her with his suspicious eyes, slowly took her in his arms, and whispered, "So I like you. I've liked you for a long time. Come with me and don't be the emperor's concubine, okay?"

"No, because my father can't die unjustly, and my little brother can't die in vain, and the women in the harem will not let me go. For these, I must stay with the emperor. Leng Rumo is never selfish." She broke away from the greedy embrace and stared at him helplessly, and even stared at him for a long time. She shed tears, slowly turned around, walked down the stone steps, and made a choice in her heart; "I want to be the emperor's concubine."

After Yongming Emperor Xiao Baojuan killed the 100 maids of honoring the State of Wei, the news quickly spread to the State of Wei. Emperor Xiaowen of the State of Wei was furious and prepared to lead 300,000 troops to attack Qi. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by General Pei Shuye. Pei Shuye said to Emperor Xiaowen, "Your Majesty, I think that the State of Qi is not a problem for the time being. They look powerful and arrogant, but in fact, compared with the State of Wu, they are still weak. Why don't you let go of your mind and vision and slow down first? According to our situation at this time, it is really not suitable to fight. I dare to argue that we should make peace!"

"What does Aiqing think is a peace law?" Emperor Xiaowen asked.

"To reply to Your Majesty, the best way is to 'harmony'!"

Two months later.

Furong Fangfei, red flower pavilion, blue leaf jade Zhang, lotus fragrant veins in Taihe pool. The musician plays the silk bamboo orchestra, which is pleasant to the ear. In the center of the pool, a large pink lotus platform was built. A woman tied a bronze bell with her feet and was dancing. Her skin is like snow, bright red, her eyebrows are flying, her dark eyes are as bright as ink, and with water-green tulle, she is as beautiful as a fairy.

Ru Mo stood beside He Guifei, looked at the woman on the lotus platform without turning her eyes, and couldn't help admiring, "It's so beautiful."

"She is the princess sent by the State of Wei to make peace. She just arrived here yesterday. Her name is Yunjue." He Guifei drank tea in a gentle tone and said slowly.

"Yun Jue, what a beautiful name, just like her people." Ru Mo's eyes widened with envy, and she couldn't help raising her head and wanting to see it more clearly. It happened that her exaggerated way of stretching her neck was seen by Xiao Baojuan, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Princess, why are you standing there? Come to me here, you can see it clearly."

Because of the arrival of Princess Wei, Xiao Baojuan was so busy that he delayed the canonization of Rumo. Now in public, she called her "beloved concubine" so intimately, which caught her off guard. She suddenly blushed with embarrassment and looked at Concubine He, who looked unclear.

"Go ahead, Rumo, the emperor is calling you over." Concubine He nodded and agreed, and the words were not cold. Ru Mo was relieved and slowly walked to Xiao Bao's side.

Xiao Baojuan saw Ru Mo walking to him, smiling and holding her in his arms and holding her tightly. Ru Mo struggled, "I blocked the sight of the emperor watching the dance."

"My concubine, the man on the lotus platform is not as good as someone in my heart?" Xiao Bao kissed Ru Mo's fragrant hair, smiled contentedly, and muttered in her ear.

However, this scene was watched by Yunjue on the stage. Her dance step slowed down a beat and did not keep up with the drums. Her sharp eyes shot straight at Xiao Baojuan and Ru Mo, as if she had to burn them to ashes before she could relieve her anger. At least she was also a princess of a country. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has not only suffered this kind of insult. The Xiao Baojuan of the State of Qi actually made it so difficult for her to see that she couldn't get off the stage. She vowed that she would not make the emperor feel better. Her eyes turned, with a little hatred and blasphemy, turned around and continued to dance.

A hurried palace lady trotted in front of the queen and didn't know what to say in the queen's ear. The queen suddenly changed color on the spot. Concubine He deliberately amplified her voice and asked, "Sister queen, what's wrong?"

Xiao Bao rolled up with the voice, looked at the queen and narrowed his eyes, "Queen, what's wrong?"

With a sad face, the queen stood up and waved her hand. The musicians stopped playing music. In an instant, there was no happy atmosphere around her and became awe-inspiring.

"Go back to the emperor, just now the Imperial Hospital sent a message that Mu Concubine had a miscre, and the person who harmed her miscre is Leng Rumo beside you, because Concubine Mu has the sachet she gave her in her hand." The queen's vicious eyes pointed to Rumo, with an expression of sadness and indignation, but there was a smile on her mouth.
