The general's wife through time

Chapter 163 Accidentally restrained the Queen Mother

Kunning Palace.

"Madam, our people found four ocean-going ships of the Qin family on the sea. There were Qin family troops on board, but there were not many of them. There was a man inside who looked like Qin Xiao. Don't worry, madam, our people have boarded the ship disguised as fishermen. , I promise not to miss this time.”

After listening to the spy's report, the Queen Mother put down her chopsticks. Even though there was a table full of delicacies in front of her, she instantly lost her appetite.

She looked at Xiao Wei, her eyes cold.

Didn't you say that Qin Xiao had no chance of surviving?
Xiao Wei understood the look in the Queen Mother's eyes and immediately stood up, clasping his fists and begging for help, "I will go there myself. No matter whether it is Qin Xiao or not, no one on the ship will come back alive."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Go! Bring all the masters from Kunning Palace with you."

Her tone was calm, not like she was giving a killing order at all, as if she was just asking someone to go out and buy groceries.

Watching the two of them go out, the Queen Mother asked someone to cancel the dinner. Leaning on the Luohan couch, he said to Aunt Rong beside him: "Go and ask Qin Mingshu to come into the palace. The Ai family wants to listen to the play, and I just happened to help His Majesty check whether the scene at tomorrow's palace banquet is suitable."

Aunt Rong: "What about Xue Tang? Someone from outside just came to spread the news, saying that Agent Fang, Duan Jingchen, Mo Bai, and Si Wei's guards all worked together, and the people who gathered to cause trouble were quickly sent to jail. Xue Tang was not injured at all. hurt."

"I know those people outside are useless, but it doesn't matter. It was Xue Tang's meddling in other people's affairs that caused the riots in the capital. So many families couldn't celebrate the New Year in peace, and even some ladies from aristocratic families couldn't come to the palace banquet. Shangguan Xun can be ignored, but the Aijia cannot be ignored. The general's wife is too meddlesome and immoral. The Aijia must give a lecture and bring them into the palace. By the way, call Shangguan Xun and let him see the Aijia with his own eyes. How to help him clean up the mess and quell the public grievances.”

As soon as Nanny Rong left the palace, Wu Heng, the commander of the imperial army, came to report to Emperor Jingkang himself.

Wu Heng is very similar to the empress, and he inherited his grandfather's genes and was proficient in literary, military and martial arts. If he hadn't avoided suspicion and prevented the empress dowager from getting a handle on the empress's harem interference, he would have been the leader of the Dajing Three Yuan Dynasty. The powerful prime minister. Emperor Jingkang cherished talents, and sometimes would come to him to talk about national affairs without being heard. He also said that he was the most elegant general in Dajing.

While reporting, he also said seemingly casually, "I suddenly remembered that His Majesty had originally decreed that the Pei family could not attend the play. In order to avoid conflict, why not move the New Year's Eve palace banquet to tonight? The Queen Mother will do it tomorrow." The goddaughter, godson-in-law, and godson went to the palace for a banquet, mainly to reunite with the Queen Mother and fulfill their filial piety. They could eat and drink quietly without being disturbed by noisy music, so they could have a good heart-to-heart talk. His Majesty and the civil and military officials had not had a quiet chat together for a long time. It’s normal, tomorrow is a good opportunity.”

Emperor Jingkang gritted his teeth when he learned that the Empress Dowager had sent someone to pick up Xue Tang, Qin Mingshu and Shangguan Xun late at night. But after hearing what Wu Heng said, Emperor Jingkang suddenly raised his head and laughed three times, saying, "The one who knows me is Mo Ruowu." Hengye's appearance.

"Okay, Lao Li, go and inform the civil and military officials and the harem to listen to the play tonight and have dinner tomorrow. I will have fun with them these two days. Be careful not to bring the Pei family here tonight! "

"Yes!" Eunuch Li responded and bowed out respectfully. It can be seen from his brisk steps that he is in a good mood.

Sure enough, Your Majesty and Mr. Wu can restrain the Queen Mother!
He didn't believe it. He called everyone here. How could the Queen Mother have any reason not to attend? If it can be called a disease, then it is even more impossible for Qin Mingshu to leave so many people alone and go to Kunning Palace to sing. Lord Shangguan is His Majesty's minister, and everyone is watching in the middle of the night. The Queen Mother has no reason to call people to her harem. As for Xue Tang, he firmly believed that such a smart general's wife would have her own way to escape from the clutches of the Queen Mother.

The sound of the carriage came from far away, and soon it arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

The red lanterns on both sides of the plaque were extinguished at some point. At this time, there was only a black shadow and nine flickering candles in front of the door. The candle is placed on a tall nine-light candlestick.

Against the backdrop of candlelight, the sunset-black candlesticks emitted an eerie light.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the most reasonable explanation for this scene is to invite the ancestors to go home for the New Year... But it is obvious that the General's Mansion will not bring such a thing to the front door, let alone use such a bizarre method.

Xue Tang jumped off the carriage and was startled when he saw this. He almost thought he had arrived at Yizhuang.

Aunt Yu's teeth were chattering, and she held Qin Mingqi's hand tightly, her palms covered with cold sweat.

Even Qin Lu rubbed his eyes and read the plaque on the door three times.

Duan Jingchen, Mo Bai and the Si family's guards, who had to escort Xue Tang back home, suddenly had a thought in their minds: the enemy actually invited someone from the trick to deal with Xue Tang! Fortunately, they are here and can add some yang energy to Xue Tang!
The dark figure at the gate slowly turned around when he heard the sound of the carriage, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes.

Seeing that it was Mu Xian, Qin Lu was so angry that he went up and grabbed his collar, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you crazy again?"

Really, the shame has been left at the doorstep.

"Cranky! Put me down!" Mu Xian kicked up his legs, patted Qin Lu's hand, raised his chin, and pointed at the ground. He didn't care at all about the strange looks from others, especially when he saw Duan Jingchen and Mo Bai coming. He originally had nothing to say, but now he had to say a few more words.

Everyone looked over intently and saw two words appearing on the ground under the candlelight: Ming Yuan.

Mu Xian tidied up his appearance irritably, put on a gentle smile, glanced at Mo Bai and Duan Jingchen, and began his impromptu speech:

"This is a gift from the general to his wife. I have already inspected it for my wife. The candlestick is made of eleven thousand black pearls of the same size and lustrous color, which means choosing one from a thousand. Each bead is also engraved with a "Tang", the lamp panel above is made of black butterfly shells, which can be replaced. The shells are carved into the shape of crabapple flowers. The fine workmanship is amazing. Light the lights and use the crabapple flowers to project "Ming Yuan". The two words "You are in me and I am in you, we are in love with each other." I put it out at the door just to let Madam see it first. "

He originally didn't want to talk about the privacy of the young couple, but when he saw Duan Jingchen and Mo Bai following him to the general's mansion in the middle of the night, his head became hot. He was bound to become a general in anger, and he didn't care about the Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, etiquette, justice and shame. He just wanted to Let these two royal merchants know that their general is not only rich, powerful, handsome, and good-looking, but also has more heart than anyone else. This is to make these two idiots retreat before the general comes back.

"Did the general really send it here?" Qin Lu expressed disbelief.

His general would probably not engage in such a saucy move.

Others didn't believe it either, and for a moment they cast suspicious eyes on Mu Xian's face.

Mu Xian: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the messenger, but it accidentally injured itself and is currently being treated by Dr. Li."
