Chapter 59 Bureau
Under the stalemate of the three forces, the voice of the eunuch singing suddenly came from outside, saying that the thirteenth imperial concubine was coming.
Two eyebrows? Qin Yunuan's name suddenly came to her mind. Now Dou Mei is not the same as before. She is the thirteen imperial concubine of Xixia, but at this time, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi are nothing.
"You go first, so that the green mountains don't have to worry about firewood." Qin Yunuan persuaded the little maid to leave, but the little maid refused to give up: "I won't kill him. I'm sorry for the master."
"You can't kill him, but die. Your master doesn't even have a paper burner under Jiuquan, and I'm even more sorry for him." Leng Changxi's words made the little maid's eyes condense. She bit the corners of her lips and decisively opened the side window and jumped out.
Almost at the same time, a cool breeze poured in, and the door of the Dongbei Hall was opened by two small eunuchs. It was Dou Mei Shuang who stood in Huaguan Lifu. No, now it should be called the Thirteen Imperial Concubines.
Dou Mei looked anxious. He was even more surprised to see Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi appearing in the hall for no reason. His slender fingers covered the corners of his lips and his eyes widened slightly: "Three cousins, cousins, how are you doing here?"
A harmless appearance can indeed deceive many people.
Leng Changxi looked back at Jing Yuanchu, who had just been in a hurry to clean up, and said to Dou Mei, "Isn't the thirteenth imperial concubine more worried about the safety of the thirteenth prince than us?"
Dou Mei showed a slight embarrassment. Leng Changxi paced to Dou Mei and only whisper, "Before coming in, didn't the imperial concubine tell the thirteenth imperial concubine that the thirteenth prince's body was weak and could not blow the wind. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the thirteenth prince to open the door of the palace like this."
Leng Changxi did not puncture Dou Meishuang. In fact, he wanted to catch the little maid who had just attempted to kill Jing Yuanchu. He only looked back at Jing Yuanchu and said in a very polite tone, "Please take a rest first. I will visit you another day."
A visit is easy to say.
But I have to say that it was Leng Changxi who saved Jing Yuanchu. Although I don't know why he suddenly appeared in this Xihe Palace and why he wanted to save himself, does this fool still have hope for the eldest princess? Jing Yuanchu sneered in his heart. He didn't know that Jing Donghua and the eldest princess had met. He thought that everything was still under his control.
Jing Yuanchu watched Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan leave in a trance. Dou Mei stepped forward and carefully pulled the corner of Jing Yuanchu. He had to admit that Dou Mei was a beauty. Under a pair of willow leaf eyebrows, a pair of star-like eyes were dazzling, and a thin layer of powder was applied to the skin blowing. It can be broken. This is a beauty. Even if Jingyuan was ambitious, he did not hide his covet in the face of beauty.
"Your Highness, are you all?" In front of Jingyuanchu, Dou Meishuang has always been a gentle and generous virtuous wife.
Jing Yuanchu dodged Dou Mei's questioning eyes. Concubine was under Zhao Huijin in Eastern Qin. Zhao Huijin and the Dou family have always been inextricably linked and are allies and partners. Now that the Dou family has fallen, Zhao Huijin has also been completely eradicated, but so many killers in the world can't be killed. Dou Meishuang can persuade them. What saved Sima Rui's life was the resources in her hand. If Dou Mei knew that someone wanted to kill Jing Yuanchu, he would definitely ask the reason. When Dou Mei knew that Jing Yuanchu not only took Zhao Huijin's escape killer, but also used deception, and the relationship would become complicated.
"It's okay." Jing Yuanchu looked at Dou Meishuang with a smile, "It was just that I wanted to reach out and pour some tea to make the wound crack." Jing Yuanchu smiled and pointed to his left shoulder with star blood.
"What a confusion." Dou Mei's strange and worried eyes moved Jing Yuan's original intention, "These little things should be left to me." Dou Mei said both sides and poured a cup of warm tea for Jing Yuanchu. He tasted it first and felt that the temperature was just right before handing it to Jing Yuanchu's lips.
Jing Yuanchu looked at Dou Meishuang's so focused and serious appearance, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Outside, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi walked back along the long palace road.
"The appearance of Dou Mei Shuang is by no means accidental." Qin Yunuan suddenly said, "And there must be an inner reason why she didn't appear at the banquet."
Yes, as a prince and concubine, the innocent absence is really puzzling.
Leng Changxi nodded and still looked forward. The two walked to a hidden place. Suddenly, a black figure jumped down from the wall. It was Leng Wu.
"General, the little maid is already under control. She went out of the palace and found an inn to stay in. She didn't leave Xiliang City. I guess she wants to wait for the next opportunity to do it."
"Normal." Leng Changxi rubbed the edge of the silver mask, "Since she dares to fight against Jing Yuanchu in the palace, she is bound to achieve her goal."
Back to the post hall, the eldest princess's room was silent. The little maid who had just bought a few days ago served the eldest princess's calming decoction at the door. Seeing Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi coming back, she seemed to see a savior.
"Young master, young lady, you are back." Leng Changxi claimed that he was the adopted son of the eldest princess, so he was called the young master.
"The eldest princess shut herself in the door as soon as she came back and didn't let us in. This calming soup is drunk every day according to the recipe."
Leng Changxi waved his hand and let the little maid retreat. She took the soup and opened the door. It was warm and fragrant inside. What burned was the eldest princess's favorite osmanthus fragrance. You could faintly see a person lying diagonally on the bed, with a long and magnificent figure.
"Mother." Leng Changxi whispered, and the figure turned around lazily. The eldest princess spread her hair casually, and her lazy and charming face turned around. The eldest princess was extremely beautiful. Even if she was over 40 years old, she was so beautiful that people would never get tired of it.
Leng Changxi inherited his mother's appearance and his father's internal strength and wisdom to be so unparalleled.
"It's time to drink medicine." Leng Changxi put the half-warm calming soup on the small mahogany coffee table beside him and sat on the ozi to look at the eldest princess.
"I can't drink," the eldest princess got up and the thin blanket fell down her shoulder. "Changxi, have you seen Jing Donghua today? He is so different from the Jing Donghua I knew before. He was so gentle that I didn't allow him to roast rabbits to eat, so he ate sour and small wild fruits with me. I didn't allow him to punish his servants who did something wrong at will, and he would listen to me. But today, he can take a person's life casually and take his body at will. The woman on the side entered the water prison, and I think he is terrible.
The eldest princess is pure. Because of the protection of the emperor and the empress dowager, her heart was not polluted at all. Later, she spent a day of intrigue and power struggle under the care of Jing Donghua. She could not understand many things. She was like a transparent lotus flower and could not be in such a world at all. Survival, sometimes Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi have the same feeling that the eldest princess actually belongs to the Savage Valley and does not belong to the earth.
"Mother," Leng Changxi said softly, "Jing Donghua, in addition to the man who loved you in those years, he is also an emperor. Killing and cruelty are a necessary trait for an emperor. Even the so-called Mingjun only knows who should be killed and who should not, even if he is The so-called benevolence is just to kill a few fewer people.
"Is that so?" The eldest princess looked a little unbelievable.
Leng Changxi nodded: "That's the truth. You can't just accept the gentle Jing Donghua. You have to accept the fact that he is the emperor of Xixia. It is his mission to kill the treacherous minister and protect Zhongliang."
At this time, a high female voice suddenly came from outside: "Princess, Her Royal Highness Thirteen sent slaves and maidservants to send a new calming soup, which is a new recipe opened by Mr. Lu himself."
When Leng Changxi and the eldest princess talked for a long time in the room, Qin Yunuan had been staying outside the door. She saw that it was not someone else who came to deliver the medicine to the group, but Xing'er. Xing'er looked calm and as if nothing had happened. According to Qin Yunuan's understanding of Xing'er, Xing'er must not have known that her own sister Lianfei had an accident in the palace. .
Qin Yunuan moved to Xing'er with a smile and looked at the light brown soup in the tray in Xing'er's hand, which was more fragrant and pure in color than before. She asked, "The previous soup was well drunk. How did His Royal Highness the Thirteenth want to change the prescription? As far as I know, Lu Wuyi is good at studying poisons and acupuncture, and doesn't like it. Open the decoction to calm your mind."
Xinger restrained her eyebrows: "I think it's a good recipe that Mr. Lu accidentally found."
"Since it's a good recipe, please take a sip first and show me." Qin Yu's warm smile made Xing'er's hair stand on end.
"This..." Xing'er naturally hesitated.
How about it? Don't dare?"
"I will obey." Xing'er did not hesitate to scoop up a spoonful of soup medicine with a spoon, poured it into her mouth, and swallowed it violently.
Qin Yunuan replied with a smile, "Look at your nervous appearance. Come on, bring the soup in. It happens that the previous soup is also cold."
Leng Changxi listened to the movement outside, took a look at the eldest princess, and advised, "Mother, you haven't eaten for a day. Drink this soup first. How about your son going out to buy you his favorite white sugar cake later?"
The eldest princess looked at Leng Changxi with sincere eyes, nodded slightly, took the soup handed over by Xing Er and drank it, wiped the corners of her mouth, and smiled, "This time the soup is very sweet and refreshing."
Leng Changxi replied gently, "Mother is fine when she is happy."
But at dusk, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi accompanied the eldest princess to finish dinner, but news came from the ear.
"Young lady, something happened to Sister Xing'er." The new little maid ran into the room in a panic and gasped, "I just entered Sister Xing'er's room to take the embroidery shelf, but I found that Sister Xing'er fell on the bed, and her eyes and nose kept bleeding, which was terrible."
