Kuai Chuan: The villain became my plug-in

Chapter 167
Under Ming Pei's service, Gu Nian lay on the bed after grooming, her long hair was tied softly behind her head, without the heavy palace attire and heavy forehead ornaments, Gu Nian felt that her whole body was much lighter.

Holding a volume of books in his hand, he was flipping through the books in front of the shining candlelight. Ming Pei was arranging things on the dressing table with gentle and quiet movements.

Turning a page, Gu Nian looked up at her: "Okay, Ming Pei, go and call Lu E, I have something to tell you."

Lue and Mingpei sat on the round stools, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you asked us to come, where are we... didn't do it right?"

"Don't think about it, there are three reasons for calling you here so late. First, there is something wrong with the second-class court lady that Lue mentioned. There must be another master behind her, Lue, you need to keep a close eye on me! "

These words frightened Lu E to fall off the stool, she didn't dare to let Gu Nian see her crying, held back her tears, and kept shaking her head: "Mother, it's all because Lu E doesn't know people clearly, Lu E is wrong , can you forgive my servant, servant..."

"Mingpei, help Lue get up."

Seeing that Gu Nian didn't seem to be lying, Mingpei lifted Lue from the ground, but because the other party was too scared, his whole body exhausted his strength, so he had to rely on Mingpei's strength to stand up straight.

"If I really want to punish you, why wait until now?"

Gu Nian closed the book in his hand and threw it on the footstool: "The master behind that second-class maid, Lue, you have checked it out for me. Second, Ming Pei, you send someone to keep an eye on Eunuch An, who is accompanying you, If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately. Thirdly, Concubine Chen must also arrange for a safe person to guard me, so that nothing goes wrong!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Gu Nian's eyes were slightly cold, and green smoke was rising from the incense burner with copper wire knob ears. The room exuded a quiet coolness, with fleeting lights and shadows, as if nothing was real.

Ming Pei, who was a little bit more courageous, asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have to send someone to guard the place of the second-class palace maid and Concubine Chen. This servant understands, but is it redundant to stare at him at the place of Eunuch An?" Eunuch Liu is the only servant who serves."

"I know." Gu Nian pulled out the cushion that was leaning on her back, and Ming Pei hurried forward to support her body: "Eunuch An, I have my own arrangements, but the time is not right now. In the future, you You will know."

Gu Nian didn't want to stop the maids around her from knowing. When the time is right, she will naturally get closer to An Shaoyu, and they will know some things sooner or later.

In this life, she still wants to spend her life with An Chuhe!
……

Blowing out the last candle, Lue tiptoed out, Gu Nian closed her eyes and meditated on the bed, suddenly there was a loud voice outside the room.

"Lue, what happened outside? It's so noisy."

The moonlight outside the window softly shone into the room, spreading a layer of silver frost on the floor. Gu Nian lifted the quilt, stood up, and before he reached the door, he saw the bright light outside the house, as if there were thousands of lights brightly lit.

"It's me!"

The emperor pushed open the door vigorously, and the outside and inside of the house became two worlds. Behind him, there were eunuchs and court ladies kneeling. At this moment, only she and the emperor were standing.

Under the yingying candlelight, the emperor's face was ashen, and his expression was cold: "Why, the queen doesn't welcome me?"

Gu Nian smiled lightly, his heart turned a thousand times, and a dignified smile appeared on his face: "How come, the emperor can come and see the concubine, and this Kunning Palace doesn't seem so lonely."

It seemed that he accidentally raised his eyes to look at the emperor, seeing that his tense face eased slightly, not as dignified as before, and he was relieved in his heart.

This is who messed with him again, and came to trouble her!
"Your Majesty, the night is dark and it's getting late. What's the matter with you, let's go inside and talk about it." Gu Nian rarely showed the posture of a little girl, with shyness on her cheeks.

The emperor stepped forward and walked in, and the maids behind him quickly lit the candles in the room.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a faint cool air in the air, which extended from the nasal cavity to the root of the tongue, with a slight bitterness, the emperor frowned slightly, and was not used to it for a while.

"Zitong, what kind of incense is burning in your house?"

Gu Nian also sniffed the air, the bitter breath filled her entire chest cavity, this is a medicine she made herself, the smell of burning can improve her own immunity.

And this bitterness can also remind her all the time that in this deep palace, every step must be done carefully!
"Your Majesty, this is a spice prepared by Master Huiyuan on Wutai Mountain for my concubine. It is said that it can cultivate one's body while reciting scriptures."

Gu Nian walked beside the incense burner and extinguished the incense powder with a small silver shovel, and the last wisp of green smoke in the air disappeared.

The emperor strode forward and sat on the Panlong chair. He saw a thick stack of scripture scrolls on the table, picked them up, and casually flipped through two pages. The small letters with hairpin flowers were neatly arranged, and one could feel the care in them.

"Zitong has worked hard. After copying this volume of scriptures, let's rest."

Gu Nian watched the emperor's face become more and more peaceful, knowing that he had escaped, but still shook his head: "I don't work hard, everything I do is in the hope that the Buddha can bless the emperor, this is what I should do." made."

Picking up the fan from the low stool, and fanning the cool breeze gently for the emperor, Gu Nian asked tentatively: "Your majesty, I just saw you frowning, what happened? Is it important?"

The emperor stroked the scroll under his hand: "It's at Concubine Chen's place."

"Concubine Chen?" Gu Nian hesitated for a moment, then sat up from the chair: "Did something happen to Concubine Chen?"

The hurried look made the emperor laugh: "Concubine Chen is fine, but you, after copying so many scriptures, your hand hurts."

The emperor took out the fan in Gu Nian's hand, looked at the two red marks on her white fingertips because of holding the pen, and said with regret: "Zitong's hands are so precious, such trivial things as fanning are just a matter of time." Let the slaves do it."

Gu Nian's body was slightly stiff, and he waited for Daoming Pei to serve the tea before he withdrew his hand and placed the tea bowl in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the fruit tea I made myself. It has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep. Try it. If you feel better, I will send you some."

When the lid is opened, the rich sweet aroma rushes to the face, which lingers in the nose for a long time, and there is a hint of frankincense in it, wrapped in sweetness, rich and thick.

After taking a sip, the frown on the emperor's brows seemed to be loosened, and he couldn't stop praising: "This tea is not bad, and Zitong's craftsmanship is good."

Gu Nian also followed, showing a satisfied expression. After a cup of tea, Gu Nian watched through the window lattice as the moonlight had risen far into the sky.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you just rest here with this concubine?"

As Gu Nian asked, he revealed the top page of the scriptures. The Buddha held up a flower, and Sakyamuni smiled. His pure and untainted eyes met the emperor's eyes full of desire.

"The tables on my desk are a bit messy. Don't blame the emperor. I have been copying this for so long. I like this sentence the most: If all living beings have a heart, recall and recite the Buddha's name, they will definitely see the Buddha, and the Buddha is not far away; it is not convenient. , be happy. Where's the emperor?"

Gu Nian turned her head to look at him, and the candlelight formed a halo behind her, as if a Buddha had come into the world, and smiled, just like the smile of Sakyamuni in the scripture.

"I haven't watched it for a long time, so I can't say a word, but it takes a lot of effort to pray for the Buddha, so I won't bother Zitong anymore, Eunuch Liu, go back to Qianqing Palace!"

Gu Nian's eyes were filled with reluctance, and he sent the emperor to the gate of the palace, watching his back melt into the darkness.

Back in the inner room, Gu Nian's face was gloomy, and he slapped the table hard with his big palm, the thin and translucent Ru kiln porcelain fell to the ground, and the remaining water stains in the tea cup stained the floor.

"Ming Pei, check it out for me! What Concubine Chen did today, check it out for me!"
