Concubine GL

Chapter 32

The most indispensable thing in this deep palace is rumors, the so-called three people become a tiger, the so-called lies, and the truth is unpredictable.

This new little maid, Rong'er, is really clever, chattering around, and within a night, the news of Ruyi and Wang Zhuo's imprisonment spread like wildfire, and the three palaces and six courtyards were whispering, waiting for the next day to watch play.

And Emperor Ruhuai is holding the golden frown in his arms at this moment, with a beauty on his side, so the rumors of the care of such women will not be heard.Besides, this golden frown's comprehension ability should not be underestimated. After Wang Yin's instruction last time, although he is still not very high-profile, he is more comfortable in dealing with others and no longer bothers others.His mentality became calmer, and even his complexion improved a lot, which made the emperor love it even more.

It was almost midnight, and the bedroom of Fengxi Palace was still lit with candlelight.Although the queen doesn't show up often, she has the best news.Shi Shuang has been by her side since the fifteenth day of Chen Lai, so she naturally knows the past between Wang Zhuo and her master. Although she is extremely disapproving of the queen's help, the master is the master, and she cannot be disobedient.So as soon as she heard the news of her imprisonment, she rushed to tell Chen Lai.

"Your Majesty, what should I do about this matter?" Shishuang was obviously very anxious, twisting the Supa in her hand, and even the elder didn't notice that the candle wick was left.

In contrast, Chen Lai looked much calmer, playing with the gold-plated finger guard on her little finger, frowning tightly and not speaking.However, Chen Lai's heart was burning with oil, especially when Wang Yin said that the bright moon was above and the fireflies were dark, which made her believe that Wang Zhuo still loved her, even now she may not forget it.

Maybe it was Ruyi's wishful thinking, then Wang Zhuo would be framed.Or, is this just groundless?Who is playing tricks secretly, just testing himself.

Chen Lai is worthy of having been in the palace for many years, her mind is meticulous and cautious, and she will not act rashly unless she has to.

It's not that she didn't suspect that Wang Yin or Qi Wuxue was playing tricks behind her back and intentionally released this rumor, but if she cared about it, it would cause chaos, any reason mixed with emotion would easily become a mess.Of course, the same is true of Empress Chen, who has always been calm and steady in dealing with things.

Although Shishuang understands the queen's intentions, she is not an insider, so naturally she cannot understand such thoughts.Seeing that Chen Lai was silent for a long while, and then the sound of the watch again and again, it was almost half the time, so she had to bite the bullet and ask: "Mother, do you need your servant to go to the prison tomorrow to find out the news?"

Chen Lai's palm moved slightly, and the finger guard fell from between her fingers, hitting the corner of the bronzing table, and there was a "ding bell", which made people's heart tense inexplicably.Her face was still calm, she only raised her eyes and said, "What's the hurry? If you really go to jail, it's still a while away? Wait patiently, and see who released the news first. If it doesn't work, ask yourself The emperor will know."

These words were also told to Chen Lai herself, and after listening to them, as if reassured, the panic gradually subsided, Chen Lai got up and asked Shishuang to take off the threaded blouse she was wearing.Lie on the bed and repeated the thought several times before Chen Lai fell into a drowsy sleep.

Feeling tense, Chen Lai couldn't sleep well all night, and woke up four or five times, all of which were haunted by nightmares, and she woke up with a headache.But what is reassuring is that he dreamed that Wang Zhuo was chasing him on horseback in the snow. He couldn't bear to be cold in his clothes, so he took off the fox fur cloak for himself, and hugged his body temperature, as if he would not be there all winter. cold.

Since Wang Zhuo left, Chen Lai hadn't dreamed of such a scene for many years. At this moment, she was sitting on the bed with her knees bent, her forehead was covered with cold sweat from being awakened from a nightmare.It's just that thinking of Wang Zhuo's gentle smile on her face in the dream, Chen Ma's heart is like melting water, and the warm quilt is wrapped around her arms as if she is still in Wang Zhuo's cloak.

The corners of her slightly wrinkled eyes were slightly wrinkled, and she squinted her eyes sideways, completely immersed in the dreamlike scene.

From the anger at the beginning, to the excuse for him later, to the deep yearning, and finally gradually let go.After wandering around like this for nearly ten years, my memory has already turned yellow and tasteless.Now Chen Lai couldn't tell what was real and what was fake, she gently opened her eyes, staring at the Qingluo brocade tent in a daze.

Early morning and late night are the times when people's psychological defenses are weakest. At this moment, Chen Lai realizes that he is still the same obsessed with love and madness.

The morning dew is quite heavy, and the fresh breeze, with the smell of moist flowers and plants, penetrates into the lungs, making people feel good for no reason.

Shishuang was woken up by Chen Lai who rarely got up early in the morning, so she didn't have time to dress up carefully, and after a rough wash, she was sent to the Rizhao Hall to inquire about news.

Shishuang observes her words and looks, even though she wakes up early, her mind is a little confused, but now she is blown by the breeze, she naturally understands.The queen is so anxious, she must be determined to help Wang Zhuo to the end.

Shi Shuang walked hurriedly with her cuffs wrapped around her sleeves, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she couldn't let go of her infatuated master after so many years, it's a pity that she was conceived in the wrong baby, otherwise she and General Wang Zhuo would definitely live together like a fairy couple.

Of course, Shishuang only dared to think this way, if one day she slipped her mouth, even if the emperor didn't want her own life, she would desperately wipe her neck with the tip of the knife.

Arriving in front of the grand Rizhao Hall, Shishuang narrowed her eyes and looked at the guards in front of the hall—there were only two teams of guards. Don’t four teams patrol on weekdays in rotation?

Shi Shuang didn't think too much, after a little thought, she picked up the steps and walked in front of the guard.

The leading guard with a knife is a bit unfamiliar, he is not tall, but he is majestic and self-contained. He must be newly promoted.Shi Shuang is used to being careful, and by the way, she glanced at the few behind the head guard, and there was an immature one who was leaning against the pillar and taking a nap, half of the brim of her hat fell off, and was suddenly bumped by the elbow of the person next to her. Waking up with a start, he nearly fell down the steps, with a rather funny expression on his face.

Before he could recover, the guard with the knife noticed Shishuang first, stood still and asked, "Dare to ask Aunt Shishuang what's the matter?"

Unable to hold back her smile, Shishuang rushed forward to bow to the head of the guards, and said respectfully: "Shishuang is ignorant, I don't know what the guards are called?" She recognized herself, probably because she did not pay attention on weekdays.

The guard was not shocked by honor or disgrace, pursed his lips and said: "A humble name is not worth mentioning, so let's talk about it."

Shishuang didn't expect the guard to reply like this, so she looked at him curiously, and then said slowly: "To tell you the truth, it was rumored in the palace yesterday that Ruyi Ronghua was arrested and imprisoned after a tryst with General Wang Zhuo. Shishuang is curious about this matter, wondering if it is true or not?"

The guard's eyes were scorching, which made people feel quite oppressed.He paused for a moment before saying: "This news is confidential, because you are the aunt next to the queen, I only revealed it to you." After speaking, the guard lowered his voice, and Shishuang hurriedly leaned forward to listen, "This news is indeed true. , Rong Hua and the general are currently being imprisoned in the sky prison. Yesterday Rong Hua was very emotional and committed suicide. Therefore, the emperor rushed to the sky prison early this morning. Afterwards, the emperor will go to Yuanling Mountain to discuss the Tao , it will probably be a few days before we can return.”

Shishuang was taken aback, and quickly covered up, scanning around, it turned out that the emperor had already left, no wonder there were two teams of guards left, and looked at the newcomer who had started to doze again with disgust.This kind of defective can come up to stand guard, and it is really a blessing that the tiger is not around and domineering.

Before leaving, Shishuang asked again: "Shishuang is too talkative to ask again, how is General Wang doing now?"

The guard glanced at her, which made Shishuang feel a little weak, and said: "The general has also received a lot of punishment, but I heard that he never mentioned anything about his friendship with Ronghua."

Shi Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her, made a bow, then turned and left.

Watching Shishuang's leaving figure gradually blur, Huai Sang turned around and pushed Yi Chuan, who had been dozing off and couldn't wake up, and said coldly, "I really don't know why you have to be with me. It's not enough to succeed, it's not enough to fail."

After such a sarcastic remark, Yi Chuan woke up with a loud sneeze and froze. He opened his eyes and waved his fists. He opened his mouth and rolled his eyes, but closed his mouth again. They are all bad guys!It's easy to look more like an iceberg, no, it's a piece of wood!It's still the kind that can't be pierced by a needle and won't get wet!

However, having said that, Yi Chuan fondly touched the edges and corners of his face which had obviously become tougher, the imperial concubine's craftsmanship was really superb, and he really looked like a handsome young man after such a change of face.

After confirming the news from the "guards" of Rizhao Hall, Chen Lai's already anxious heart became more and more heavy, and he just paced back and forth in the room, and the shredded lotus root and lotus powder in the jasper cup on the table had already cooled completely.

Chen Lai said to herself: "Why did the emperor suddenly go to Yuanling Mountain to discuss Taoism?"

Shi Shuang said: "Concubine Rong Gui is the most capable of pretending to be a ghost, so she must be the emperor she persuades."

The queen nodded, and Shishuang saw the opportunity and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask for help from outside the palace?"

Chen Lai frowned: "No, father must not know about this matter." Then, she made up her mind, and said to Shishuang, "The emperor will not stay in the prison for a long time, and he is more concerned about the matter of seeking immortality." It’s just out of caring. Therefore, Shishuang, I want you to go to the prison to see the situation tonight, and to tell the general not to admit the slightest friendship with Ruyi Ronghua. As for the emperor in the palace, I Gong Zi will think of a way to take care of it, and tell the general not to worry. If you encounter unreasonable guards to interrogate, naturally it cannot be said to be the will of the palace, what to say or not to say depends on the situation."

Chen Lai took another silver waist tag from the dark hibiscus cabinet to Shishuang and said, "If someone doesn't recognize you, show this waist tag, and naturally you won't be in any trouble."

Shi Shuang took the Linglong waist card, and took a closer look at it. The whole body was bright and white, and the word "Qan Zhao" was neatly embossed in official script on it. "Wan Zhao" is the name of the Queen Mother, which is the pass order given to Chen Lai by the Empress Dowager when she was young, allowing Chen Lai to move freely in the palace.

Shi Shuang squeezed the incomparably precious sign, hidden it in her cuffed sleeves, and nodded solemnly.
