Chapter 282
For three days in a row, the city of Ye was calm, and there were not even any gossips from young masters and young ladies.Ruan Zhuqi became more and more impatient, almost to the point of restlessness.All of this was seen by Xuan Shidu, but he acted like he hadn't noticed anything, silently guarding Ruan Zhuqi's side.
On the fourth day, a piece of news spread in Yecheng, and Ruan Zhuqi's heart suddenly stirred up waves: Hu Luguang returned in triumph, Emperor Zhou was wounded, and his life and death were uncertain. "It's true, it's true, fourth uncle is injured..." Ruan Zhuqi couldn't help shaking after sending Xuan Shidu to meet Hu Luguang with a forced smile.
"Master! The subordinates are incompetent and can't share the master's worries!" Qi Shu looked ashamed, but Qi Fang was confused by Monk Zhang Er and couldn't understand the conversation between the two.Qi Shu was afraid that Qi Fang would not understand the situation, so he said the wrong thing, and said in a low voice: "Just now I saw Miss Yunxiang went out to find something for the master, why didn't she come back for a long time, Brother Fang, let's take a look!"
Hearing this, Qi Fang glanced at Ruan Zhuqi's worried expression, and left wisely. "Master, do you want to summon Mr. Han?" Qi Shu thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any good idea, so he thought of Han Changluan.
"What's the use of calling him? Fourth uncle is thousands of miles away, even if I go to see him, it won't help." Ruan Zhuqi clenched her fists bitterly, her nails dug deep into her flesh, " Gao Wei, you hurt fourth uncle! You actually hurt fourth uncle!"
"Master..." Qi Shu endured it, and said it anyway, "When two armies fight, there will be casualties, and besides, the one who shot and wounded the Lord was not Emperor Qi, but General Hulu!"
"If he hadn't ordered Hu Luguang to fight and came up with such sneaky ideas, how could Fourth Uncle get hurt!" Ruan Zhuqi was so angry that he picked up a cup and threw it on the ground. "Calm down, calm down, I want to calm down!" Ruan Zhuqi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
After a while, Ruan Zhuqi raised a wicked smile, and said lightly, "How can you be so angry? That's His Majesty! Your Majesty should be at Duanmen to meet the right minister. Why don't you accompany the king?"
Outside Duanmen, the Qi army lined up neatly. Hu Luguang, the leader, solemnly held his helmet on his chest, and performed a formal monarch and minister salute to Xuan Shidu. Just when Xuan Shidu was about to report, a bright red Se, surrounded by a group of palace people, slowly walked over.Xuan Shidu's eyes were quickly attracted by the bright red, and Hu Luguang frowned slightly, and when he took a closer look, it was Ruan Zhuqi who came.
As Ruan Zhuqi approached, a strong fragrance of orchids hit, and Hu Luguang looked at Ruan Zhuqi meaningfully with an unbelievable feeling in his eyes.There was a hint of torture in this look, Ruan Zhuqi quickly read it out, dodging away hastily.There was a little disappointment in Hu Luguang's eyes, and he listened to Ruan Zhuqi's soft talk to Xuan Shidu with mixed feelings in his heart.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Ruan Zhuqi slightly bent her knees, deliberately reaching out to Xuan Shidu to pull her up.Xuan Shidu smiled slightly, held Ruan Zhuqi's hand with one hand, and put his other hand around Ruan Zhuqi's waist, and said affectionately: "Why is my concubine here? But I haven't seen you for a while, do you miss me?"
Hu Luguang's face immediately turned pale, and Ruan Zhuqi slapped Xuan Shidu shyly, and said, "Your Majesty is so unscrupulous! The concubine came here to take a look after hearing that my father had returned in triumph." It's over, old minister, everything is fine!" Hu Luguang's voice clearly showed displeasure.
"Why is daddy so indifferent to his daughter? Could it be that the daughter has displeased daddy somewhere?" Ruan Zhuqi hurriedly covered half of her face with a handkerchief, her eyes glistening with tears, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Don't blame me, daddy. I can only blame my father for being too brave and good at fighting, which made my fourth uncle suffer a lot!
"Concubine Liu went out of her way to see Mr. Right Prime Minister, but Mr. Right Prime Minister is so unappreciative! Your Excellency must know that this is because of the distance from the Duanmen in Fengyuan, and how tiring it is for Concubine Liu to come all the way! Your Excellency does not understand your hard work. That's all, why bother to make such a bad face to your daughter!" Mu Dipo suddenly stood up to speak for Ruan Zhuqi.
Ruan Zhuqi was stunned for a moment. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Han Changluan winking at her. She understood the general idea, and quickly put on an anxious look, saying, "Lord Mu, don't talk nonsense! Daddy naturally loves me dearly." !"
"Since you feel sorry for the empress, why don't you see the joy on the face of the right prime minister?" Mu Dipo went on cooperatively.Ruan Zhuqi leaned on Xuan Shidu as if he lacked confidence, tugged at his sleeves, and said in a reluctant tone: "Daddy has fought hard and is a little tired. It's not that Master Mu said he didn't have joy. Daddy is full of joy in his heart." the... right?"
"Your Majesty's kindness, the old minister is grateful. It's just that your Majesty should also distinguish the occasion. Did your Majesty come to the place where Your Majesty received the soldiers of the three armies?" Hu Luguang's expression was very serious, and he taught Ruan Zhuqi solemnly, "My Majesty should know her identity, concubine How can a concubine meet the ministers side by side with the king?"
After saying these words, Ruan Zhuqi had already expected that Hu Luguang's character was upright, how could she allow her to act like this.Just before coming here, she had already figured out how to deal with Hu Luguang, but at this moment, she still hesitated.It is true that Hu Luguang hurt Ruan Wenyong, but it is also true that Hu Luguang treated her well.Even the reprimand at this moment is the loving father teaching his daughter.
Ruan Zhuqi lowered her head silently, Xuan Shidu lightly pressed her head to his chest, and looked at Hu Luguang with gloomy eyes: "Why can't Concubine Liu meet my ministers with me?" Shocked, he replied righteously: "A concubine is a concubine, and the empress is the official wife. The concubine's room can't invite guests at will, let alone your majesty's concubine's room?"
Xuan Shidu's fist was silently clenched, and Ruan Zhuqi vaguely felt Xuan Shidu's tense muscles through his clothes. "Concubine!" Xuan Shidu gritted his teeth and said these two words, and continued, "Then, according to Aiqing, Concubine Liu shouldn't be here, should I punish her?"
"Your Majesty is wise! Not only should Concubine Liu not be here, but she should not be wearing bright red clothes! Your Majesty should hand it over to the Empress, and she will be punished according to palace rules!" Hu Luguang's face remained unchanged.Seeing Xuan Shidu's complexion getting worse and worse, Ruan Zhuqi faintly felt that she had gone too far, which had gone against her original intention.
Ruan Zhuqi hurriedly knelt down in front of Xuan Shidu, and said: "My concubine is guilty and willing to be punished!" The concubine did something wrong and should be punished. Your Majesty..."
"I told you to get up!" Xuan Shidu roared again, ignoring Hu Luguang's reaction, and directly pulled Ruan Zhuqi up, "Listen to me. From now on, Concubine Liu doesn't need to salute when she sees me. You can appear by Zhen's side anywhere, and no one can stop you for any reason. As for the bright red clothes that Aiqing mentioned, if Concubine Liu can't wear them, then there will be no more bright red clothes in Beiqi from now on!"
"Your Majesty!" Hu Luguang took a big step forward, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "The ancestral etiquette cannot be discarded! Please take it back!" "Huh!" Xuan Shidu sneered, "The ancestral etiquette is too great Me?"
Hu Luguang was shocked suddenly, and his hands clasped into fists couldn't help trembling slightly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, must have fought hard and was too tired to speak disrespectfully. Please also consider His Majesty's service for the country, and don't care about your mistakes in words today!" Han Changluan suddenly stood up .
Ruan Zhuqi understood, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Daddy is doing it for His Majesty's benefit. Your Majesty can't blame Daddy!" Ruan Zhuqi pretended to be coquettish, and shook Xuan Shidu's arm.
A look of reluctance flashed across Mutipo's face, and after glancing at Han Changluan, she had no choice but to say, "Concubine Liu is right, the Right Prime Minister is upright, and although his words are not pleasant, the purpose is also for His Majesty's benefit. The Right Prime Minister seems to be extremely tired, His Majesty let him go back and rest!"
Ruan Zhuqi was startled, and subconsciously exchanged glances with Han Changluan, both of them were surprised: Mu Tipo meant to declare that Hu Luguang's power had been cut ten degrees.Han Changluan nodded slightly, Ruan Zhuqi struggled in her heart, this result was naturally what she wanted, but she never thought it would come so soon.
Before Ruan Zhuqi made up his mind to give Hu Luguang the final blow, Hu Luguang's scrutinizing gaze had already fixed Ruan Zhuqi to death.Ruan Zhuqi subconsciously took half a step back, which was noticed by Xuan Shidu.Xuan Shidu's face was displeased, he hugged Ruan Zhuqi tightly, and said, "Since Hulu Aiqing is tired, go back to the house to take care of her! When your spirit is recovered and your mind is no longer confused, come see me again!"
"The old minister is very sober, and the old minister has never been confused!" Hu Luguang's voice was full of energy, and every word was heard clearly by the soldiers present.
With a "snap", Xuan Shidu yanked off Hu Luguang's whip, broke it off with one hand, and then said to Jingli: "Declaration of my will, the right minister, Hu Luguang, has made meritorious deeds from the Zhou master, and he was promoted to be a Grand Master. The right minister has a heavy duty, and I sympathize with Hu Luguang's old age, and I specially allow Han Changluan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to do it for him!"
"His Majesty!"
"Grand Master Hu Luguang is still thankful!" Mu Tipo hurriedly said loudly, interrupting Hu Luguang's desire to argue.
"Master Han, is this going too far in this palace?" The matter of Duanmen's reception broke up unhappily, and Xuan Shidu went to Yuanfu Palace to meet the Queen Mother Hu due to something, so Ruan Zhuqi managed to secretly summon Han Changluan.
"Your Majesty has to take this step sooner or later. Letting Hu Luguang give up on His Majesty is the greatest protection for Hu Luguang." Han Changluan analyzed calmly.
"What is this palace planning?" Ruan Zhuqi smiled, "It seems that Mr. Han knows this palace very well, even better than this palace!" How to go, it looks like a chess player. How can the chess pieces know what the chess player is thinking?" Han Changluan lowered his eyes slightly.
"You don't have to be so cautious. I know Master Han's intelligence. My identity and what I am going to do have already been understood by Master Han. If this is the case, there is no need to play riddles." Ruan Zhuqi said lightly , "Since Mr. Han chose to help Ben Gong, Ben Gong is not afraid that adults will know about it."
