The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 43 each with their own minds

In Ganquan Palace, Lu Liqi was laughing with a famous dog that was paid tribute from a foreign country, when suddenly the eunuch she sent to monitor Zhongcui Palace hurried in, seeing the flustered expression of the little eunuch, Lu Liqi knew that there must be something important to report, so she went The screen backed away and said: "But what did you find?"

In the past, Ran Yunmo often went to the Royal Garden to play in her free time, but recently Lu Liqi found that Concubine Yun was suddenly unable to leave behind closed doors, and she had never heard of Concubine Yun's illness or anything. Surveillance near the palace.

Only the little eunuch whispered to Lu Liqi: "Madam, Concubine Yun has left Zhongcui Palace."

"Oh? Why do you suddenly want to go out after being bored in the palace for so many days? Do you know where you are going?" Lu Liqi frowned and asked.

"It's going in the direction of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the slave also inquired about another piece of news."

"What news?" Lu Liqi hurriedly asked when she heard the news.

"The emperor has returned to the palace."

Lu Liqi was taken aback when she heard the news, and said to herself: "Oh? Why doesn't there seem to be any news about such a big matter in the palace?"

The little eunuch thought that Lu Liqi was asking herself, and quickly said: "I don't know, I heard that the emperor returned to the palace secretly, and did not disturb anyone, and once he returned to the palace, he sent Prime Minister Ran to the frontier to supervise the battle to boost morale."

After thinking for a while, Lu Liqi thought about Concubine Yun's recent retreat, and asked the little eunuch, "How about the things I asked you to investigate earlier? Is there anything unusual in Concubine Yun's palace?"

The little eunuch frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, but he was afraid of being scolded by Lu Liqi, so he said: "Yes, Empress Yun seems to be getting more and more beautiful recently."

When Lu Liqi heard the little eunuch say "yes", she was very excited, but she didn't expect that it was enough for you to say "yes", so she scolded disdainfully: "You dog slave, you also know what is beautiful " But after thinking about it, I saw Ran Yunmo by chance a few days ago, and at that time, Ran Yunmo was really good at charm, but in Lu Liqi's opinion, Ran Yunmo did not become prettier, but coquettish.

Thinking of this, Lu Liqi couldn't help but fell into deep thought again, why did Ran Yunmo make such a change?While thinking, Lu Liqi asked the little eunuch to listen to her, and said a few words in the little eunuch's ear, the little eunuch nodded, then turned around and left Oasis Palace after understanding.

In the Palace of Compassion, Ran Yunmo had already explained the intention of coming to the empress dowager, and after learning that the emperor had returned to the palace quietly, the empress dowager said angrily: "Hmph, this emperor is really getting more and more outrageous, such a big event, he Even Ai's family kept it a secret, and after returning to the palace, they neither sent anyone to report nor came to pay their respects, if my emperor's son is still alive, how could she be the emperor."

Seeing this, Ran Yunmo quickly comforted her and said, "Mother, don't be upset, first think about what we should do. Daddy has already been ordered to transfer to the frontier warlord."

The empress dowager said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? As long as your father tells Nanjiang that the emperor is still alive, they will not dare to act rashly. As soon as Nanjiang retreats, your father will come back. The Ai family is worried about you and that fake eunuch. If the emperor finds out, even Aijia can't protect you."

Ran Yunmo cautiously looked around, and after confirming that everyone was shunned by the empress dowager, she whispered: "My son is here to ask the empress to make arrangements for this matter."

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "This matter must be interrupted immediately, and the man should be sent out of the palace."

When Ran Yunmo heard this, she said anxiously: "Not the queen mother, the sudden lack of eunuchs in the palace may attract people's attention. If you continue to investigate, there is no guarantee that no clues will be discovered, besides"

Seeing Ran Yunmo hesitated to speak, the empress dowager had already guessed what she was thinking, and asked with an ugly expression: "Do you like that person! Don't forget who you are!"

Ran Yunmo wept and said: "Mother, it's not that you don't know that the emperor has not come to Zhongcui Palace for a long time. If it continues like this, the son will recognize it, but after this incident, the son has already."

"Alas! Sinister!" The empress dowager said to Ran Yunmo after a long sigh: "The two of you are getting closer and closer, and there will be gaps in your eyes and behavior. If someone finds out, not only you, but even your father may be imprisoned." .”

Ran Yunmo continued to cry and said: "I know this, that's why I came to ask my mother for help, and asked my mother to help me."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "You have an affair with someone in the palace, this is a crime that implicates the whole family, how can the Ai family save you."

When Ran Yunmo saw what the empress dowager said, she couldn't help crying. After crying for a while, the empress dowager shook her head helplessly when she saw that the empress dowager couldn't make a sound, and said, "That's all, you can find a reason to transfer someone to the Palace of Compassion, Aijia Try to get the two of you together once every ten and a half months."

"Thank you for your mother's success." Ran Yunmo thanked the empress dowager repeatedly through tears.

After returning to the mansion, Ran Hai took his people to the frontier after making some preparations. Along the way, Ran Hai thought about everything carefully and thought to himself, "The emperor will appoint me to personally go to the frontier to supervise the battle. Let Nanjiang know the news that the emperor Jianzai is not dead, so as to dispel Nanjiang's attempt. If something happens to the emperor, once the two countries confront each other, it will be difficult to stabilize the government even if Concubine Yun is pregnant. If the war is stabilized and the emperor returns unharmed, Nanjiang will not dare to act rashly, so this old man will have a bargaining chip to continue to cooperate with Nanjiang for mutual benefit."

While Ran Hai was feeling complacent, he suddenly thought of those subordinates whose whereabouts were unknown. His originally comfortable mood suddenly turned bad.Even the traitors sent by the emperor disappeared out of thin air, proving that Ye Junyan had eradicated them, Ye Junyan couldn't possibly have no doubts about this "well, he deliberately didn't pursue this matter, he wanted to stabilize the old man The more this is the case, the more it proves that he doubts me more deeply, it seems that the old man has to make another plan to prevent being controlled by others."

Inside the Hall of Qinzheng, Gu Xinning had already returned to the room, Nian Se secretly glanced at the silent Gu Xinning, hesitant to speak a few times, and finally couldn't help saying after a long time: "Niang Niang, don't"

"You don't need to persuade me, I'm not angry." Gu Xinning said angrily.

"But the empress looks very angry!" Nian Se said timidly.

Gu Xinning said more and more angrily: "Shut up, I won't be angry if I say I'm not angry."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Nian Se continued timidly.

"I tell you to shut up, it's useless for you to move out of the emperor." Gu Xinning continued angrily.

However, Nian Se seemed determined to confront Gu Xinning and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is back, right behind you."

Gu Xinning turned around as if she had been clicked, and saw Ye Junyan looking at her with a stern expression.Gu Xinning couldn't help but said with a guilty conscience: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"Where did your arrogance and arrogance in Xianfu Palace go?" Ye Junyan asked coldly.

"Humph" Gu Xinning heard Ye Junyan's mocking tone, Gu Xinning snorted displeasedly, turned around and sat down, and stopped financing Ye Junyan.

The corner of Ye Junyan's mouth surfaced with a sneer and said: "I have only heard that women can turn their faces faster than turning a book, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have saved you, let you be poisoned to death." Gu Xinning muttered in a low voice.

"I was about to ask this question, who taught you your poison art." Ye Junyan asked coldly.

"Didn't I say it last time, it was from a stranger."

"Name! What's the name of that alien?" Ye Junyan asked pressingly.

Gu Xinning said calmly, "It's called Li Daoting. I heard from him that he was a Taoist alchemist in the early years. Later, because he was framed, his family was ruined and his family was ruined. In order to get revenge, he abandoned alchemy to refine poison, and finally succeeded."

Ye Junyan had indeed heard that there was a Li Daoting in the rivers and lakes, whose poisonous skills resounded throughout the martial arts, but this person disappeared many years ago, and no one knew his whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he accepted Zhao Zhongran's daughter as a disciple. Ye Junyan saw that Gu Xinning was fine. There are obvious flaws, so I have to give up.Instead, he said: "I don't know how Li Daoting compares to the poison immortal who used poison the world's number one."

Gu Xinning said calmly: "Poison Immortal? It seems that my teacher has mentioned it, but the two have never competed, so it's hard to say who is superior and who is inferior."

Ye Junyan fixed his eyes on Gu Xinning.After staring at it for a while, he slowly said: "Ran Hai has already left Beijing, no one will monitor you now, when are you going to contact your contacts?"

Gu Xinning blinked her eyes and said, "That depends on when the emperor will make an order."

As soon as Gu Xinning finished speaking, Ye Junyan's hand was already in front of Gu Xinning, holding a scroll of imperial edict in his hand and looked at Gu Xinning coldly.

Gu Xinning took the imperial decree and looked it over, cursing in her heart: "Jun Yan is actually more anxious than me this night, hmph, Ran Hai, let's see how long you can be arrogant." But she said calmly: "Yo, the emperor is so anxious Send the concubine out of the palace, because you are afraid that I will hinder you and Concubine Xin?"

Ye Junyan said coldly: "I only give you two days, and you must return to the palace after two days."

Gu Xinning still smiled relentlessly and said, "Go back to the palace to see you and Concubine Xin kiss me?"

Ye Junyan seemed to endure it to the limit, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Gu Xinning's slender wrist, and pulled Gu Xinning away with force, staring at Gu Xinning's eyes coldly and fiercely. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Ye Junyan With a sharp shake of her hand, she let go of Gu Xinning and said coldly: "Do your own thing well, go and come back quickly."

After Gu Xinning left the palace with the imperial decree, she went to Zhao Zhongran's mansion first, and asked in a puzzled way: "The emperor only gave you two days, and the time is tight, why did you take more time to go to Zhao's mansion?"

Gu Xinning lightly smiled and scratched Nian Se's nose and said, "Silly girl, why do you think the emperor only gave me two days?"

Nian Se tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "The emperor is afraid that he will miss her if he doesn't see her."

Gu Xinning flicked Nianse's head with a finger, and Nianse rubbed her forehead loudly, puffing her mouth and saying, "It hurts, my mother bullied Nianse again."

Gu Xinning said angrily: "Who told you to be open-minded, he just wanted to see if I would go back to the Zhao Mansion in just two days, it's the first time my daughter has left home and away from her father for so long, no matter how urgent the time is I can't help but take the time to go home and have a look, Ye Junyan just wants to see how I do it."

Nian Se suddenly realized: "Ah, it turns out." As he was speaking, he seemed to feel that his voice was too loud, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "So the superior must have sent someone to monitor the empress, so the empress will not modify or hide her whereabouts. , just to let the watchers see it.”

Gu Xinning sighed for a long time and said, "Oh, silly Se'er finally got the hang of it."

"Ser'er is not stupid! It's just that Se'er is not as cunning as your mother." Nian Se defended, and followed Gu Xinning to Zhao's residence.
