The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 42 Returning to the Palace
"Mo! 荛! Tang" After Gu Xinning called out the name in her heart, her body trembled slightly due to anger. Everyone behind her saw him silent for a long time, thinking that something happened to her, and was about to come forward to inquire. Suddenly, Gu Xinning waved her hand back, signaling everyone to stay where they are.

After that, Gu Xinning asked everyone to bring some water, and several guards went back to the cave where they lived before, and brought back a pot of boiling water, which was originally seized from Ha Wu's camp after they wiped out Ha Wu.Seeing that everyone was using this pot to hold water, Gu Xinning said to everyone, "After I use this pot, I won't be able to cook with it, otherwise it will damage the human body."

Ye Jinfeng took a step forward and said, "It's okay, just destroy it in a while, just don't need it."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Gu Xinning took out a porcelain bottle and poured some brown powder into the water. The originally cold water turned upside down, which surprised everyone.

After the turbulence of the water subsided, Gu Xinning sprinkled the water evenly on the ground at the entrance. After the water was sprinkled, a burst of mist rose from the originally calm ground and shot straight into the sky.

After the smoke cleared, Gu Xinning said to everyone, "The poison of the poisonous powder has been detoxified, so we can go."

Everyone couldn't help admiring Gu Xinning even more in their hearts.So with Gu Xinning's support, Ye Junyan and a dozen guards rushed down the mountain one after another.After reaching the bottom of the mountain, I saw the commander who came with the garrison. The commander was going to escort Ye Junyan and his party, but Ye Junyan's goal was too big and it was easy to attract people's attention. Let him stay and guard Qianzhang Peak. It can prevent someone from harming the people on the mountain, and on the other hand, it can paralyze the enemy so that they cannot find out Ye Junyan's true whereabouts.

After Mo Luotang escaped from Qianzhang Peak, he did not go far. While monitoring the army guarding Qianzhang Peak, he sent a letter to the tribal leader to inform the situation here.

The leader of Southern Xinjiang at this time is Ying Keqing of the Ying clan. Although Ying Keqing is a woman, she has lofty ambitions, comparable to a man.After receiving Mo Luotang's letter, he immediately summoned all the tribal chiefs to discuss the matter of raising an army to attack Zhaoxuan Kingdom.

Ha Qishan's younger brother, Ha Bishan, was shocked by the news of Ha Qishan's death in battle. He was extremely furious, and asked to be the vanguard to take the lead in attacking Zhaoxuan.Win Keqing agreed to its request.

Just as the troops in southern Xinjiang began to mobilize and were about to send to Zhaoxuan Kingdom, Ye Junyan, Gu Xinning and his party had already quietly embarked on their way home.In order to avoid spending too much time on the road, Gu Xinning sent a guard to Nian Se's former residence to recall Nian Se, while she and Ye Junyan went straight to the capital.

Ran Hai waited at home every day, but he didn't receive any news from his subordinates for a long time. Knowing that these people had an accident, he felt uneasy. He also heard that the spies reported that the garrison at Fengqi had surrounded Qianzhang Peak. I have roughly guessed that Ye Junyan went to Qianzhang Peak, "Then the emperor should know all about me? I hope that the surname Mo can give the emperor to me, otherwise it will not work. Just in case, I still have to strengthen the security of the capital."

Thinking of this, Ran Hai went out of the house for the first time in the past few days. After Ran Hai left the house, he immediately secretly asked his disciples in charge of the military to adjust the defense of the capital and strictly check the personnel entering and leaving the capital.

However, when Ran Hai had finished all his arrangements, news suddenly spread from the palace that Ye Junyan had returned to the palace, and concubine Zhao Yuning came back with Ye Junyan.

Ran Hai was surprised when he heard the words, and he had doubts in his heart, so he hurried into the palace to meet him, but saw that Ye Junyan had returned safely.

When Ran Hai met Sheng, Du Wangshan had already arrived, and he was discussing with Ye Junyan about some things that had happened in the past few days. When he saw Ran Hai coming in, he greeted him: "Prime Minister Ran came just in time. I thought that the prime minister was still seriously ill, so I don't want to Jing Zuo, seeing that the prime minister is in good spirits, he must have recovered."

Ran Hai knelt down to meet Ye Jun and said: "If the old man is in decline, fortunately he has been diagnosed and treated by a good hand, so that he can prolong his life. Hearing that the Holy Majesty is returning to the court, I am here to see you."

Ye Junyan nodded and said: "Prime Minister Ran must take good care of his body. By the way, he heard the report from the front line saying that a large number of troops from southern Xinjiang are gathering and they are in a state of overwhelming pressure. Prime Minister Ran thinks how to deal with it."

Ran Hai thought for a while, and replied: "I was recuperating at home before, and I haven't heard of this matter. It's hard to think of a good strategy between the elbows and armpits. You can increase troops to resist first, and then think of ways to defeat the enemy."

Ye Junyan and Du Wangshan looked at each other, the corners of their mouths curled into a smile and said: "Bing, I have already dispatched more, but I still need a highly respected minister to encourage the three armies. Since Prime Minister Ran's health is getting better, it's better for Prime Minister Ran to take a hard trip." how."

Ran Hai heard from Ye Junyan that he had already sent troops to the border, that is to say, Ye Junyan had already returned to Beijing?Why didn't I get any news, even Yun'er didn't send any news, did the emperor deliberately lie to me, or did he return to the palace secretly without anyone knowing?Ran Hai was at a loss.

"Prime Minister Ran doesn't want to go? Then there must be Mr. Lao Du." Seeing that Ran Hai didn't speak, Ye Junyan knew what he was thinking, so he deliberately turned to Du Wangshan who was beside him.

"Chen" Du Wangshan took a step forward and was about to take orders.

"To be loyal to the country, the veteran will never give up." Hearing Ye Jun's words, Ran Hai quickly withdrew his mind and said.

Ye Junyan smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, before the army, remember that the overall situation of the country is the most important thing in everything."

"The old minister will follow the hadith, and the old minister will go down and prepare."

Ye Jun ordered Ran Hai to leave as soon as possible, so as not to miss the military schedule, Ran Hai took the order and resigned.

After Ran Hai left, Du Wangshan said to Ye Jun: "Your Majesty is really good at employing people. He knows that Ran Hai has something to do with the people in Southern Border. Letting Ran Hai go is more effective than others."

Ye Junyan thought to himself: "If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't dare to publicize the fact that I was blocked, I would go there in person, and the effect would be several times better than Ran Hai." But even if he trusted Du Wangshan again, Ye Junyan didn't dare to expose his weaknesses casually Come out so you don't get noticed.So he said: "Southern Xinjiang mobilized the army only because they thought that I was killed and that the state affairs had nothing to do with them, so they dared to make trouble. Since they are involved with Ran Hai, let Ran Hai tell them that I am safe and sound."

Du Wangshan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In the Palace of Qinzheng, Nianse has already returned accompanied by the guards who reported the letter. After listening to Gu Xinning's experience in the past few days, she was quite worried about Gu Xinning, and said: "Your Majesty revealed a lot of secrets in front of the emperor this time. In the future, the emperor will It must be hard to trust your empress any more, isn't that your empress' plan?"

The corner of Gu Xinning's mouth turned up, and she snorted coldly and said, "Do you think Ye Junyan trusted me? From the beginning to the end, Ye Junyan never trusted me."

Nian Se frowned and said, "That empress' plan."

Gu Xinning smiled softly: "The plan is as usual, and Ye Junyan also has the heart to get rid of Ran Hai. Since the purpose is the same, I'll just stir up the flames from the sidelines."

After a short pause, Gu Xinning seemed to have thought of something, got up and said, "Let's go, it's time to see Concubine Xin."

When they came to Xianfu Palace, all the maids and eunuchs wanted to see the savior when they saw Gu Xinning, and each of them showed longing eyes. After Gu Xinning gave everyone an antidote, they went to Concubine Xin's room.

Due to being fed medicine by Gu Xinning, Du Xinlan became foolish and stupid. At this moment, she was holding scissors in the room, cutting her favorite potted plant when she was sober. This potted plant was originally taken care of by Du Xinlan. But in Du Xinlan's hands, it has become fragmented beyond recognition.

Seeing Du Xinlan's stupid look, Gu Xinning sighed quietly, and when she was about to turn around to leave, she saw Ye Junyan standing behind her at some point.

At this moment, Gu Xinning no longer needs to pretend to be weak with Ye Junyan. When she saw Ye Junyan suddenly appearing behind her, she neither panicked nor felt surprised. On the contrary, when she saw Ye Junyan suddenly standing behind her, she was startled and hurried She saluted and said: "My maidservant pays respects to the emperor." While stretching out her hand, she tugged on Gu Xinning's clothes, motioning for her to greet Ye Jun.

But Gu Xinning didn't pay attention to it, and just said coldly: "The relationship between the emperor and Sister Xinfei seems to be very good. I was in a hurry to visit Sister Xinfei just after returning to the palace." Gu Xinning didn't know at the moment because she felt There's no need to pretend anymore, the only way to talk to Ye Junyan is because he is jealous of Concubine Xin.

Ye Junyan also said coldly: "That's right, I have a deep relationship with Concubine Xin and I have long intended to make her queen."

When the two were on the mountain, the friendship of helping each other and sleeping next to each other seemed to disappear instantly the moment they entered the palace. Outside, Ye Junyan and Gu Xinning were family members who supported each other, but When they arrived in the palace, the two became tools for each other to use. In this palace full of intrigues and intrigues, it is difficult to reproduce the sweet situation of joy and sorrow.

Gu Xinning said coldly with no expression on her face: "The concubine won't bother the emperor and concubine Xin to reminisce about the past, Nianse, let's go."

Nian Se hurriedly saluted and said, "Your servant will leave." Then she followed Gu Xinning and left Xianfu Palace.

Zhongcui Palace, although it is daytime at the moment, Ran Yunmo and 'Xiao Huizi' are still immersed in the warm tent during the spring night.From time to time in the lingering big tent, the sound of the two people's heavy breathing could be heard. These days, Ran Yunmo seldom went out, and had fun with her lover in Zhongcui Palace every day.

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran to the door and said in a rude manner, "Your Majesty, it's not good."

When Ran Yunmo was in high spirits, she was interrupted by someone, and she felt very unhappy, "You dog slave, who is it to blame!"

When the little eunuch heard the news, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, it's my slave's fault, my slave's nonsense."

Ran Yunmo asked impatiently: "What's the matter, you're in such a panic."

"Reporting to your empress, the emperor has returned to the palace." The little eunuch replied quickly.

"What! Why didn't there be any news about such a big event before? Did the Prime Minister know?" Ran Yunmo sat up from the bed when she heard this, and asked in panic.

The little eunuch bowed his head and said: "The emperor returned to the palace secretly and did not disturb anyone. The prime minister had just entered the palace to discuss the military situation with the emperor. Before leaving the palace, the prime minister sent someone to inform the young one of the news. The young one came to tell the empress immediately. .”

After a moment of silence, Ran Yunmo said: "I know, you can go down."

"Yes, my servant will leave." The little eunuch hurriedly left.

After 'Xiao Huizi' saw the man leave, her hands became restless again, but Ran Yunmo lost interest, pushed the man's hand aside, got up and put on her clothes.While saying: "I have to discuss with the empress dowager what to do next, you just stay in the palace and don't go anywhere, the emperor won't come to Zhongcui Palace."

"Okay, the lady, go and come back quickly, the servant is waiting for you here." Xiao Huizi said with a lewd smile while watching Ran Yunmo's soft and beautiful movements of dressing.
