Changqing Ci

There was alcohol in the conversation, and such a simple question was actually asked, Wei Lingci took the sober tea from Xianyun's hand, "Although you are a princess, but you are only staying for one night, I will let you stay in the side hall. It is also her way of hospitality, this is not just a bed, what is lying under you?"

While talking and joking, he raised his hand to take the tea cover, and after blowing it cool, put it in her palm, Xun Changqing took a few sips from the teacup, "It's really strange to have two couches in one hall," and returned the teacup to Xianyun, himself Standing up, leaning closer to Wei Lingci, looking at the faintly visible veins on her neck, she whispered, "Do you think there will be an assassin tonight?"

Xun Changqing was standing slightly higher than Wei Lingci's flat ground, and she tilted her head again, the smell of alcohol gushing into Wei Lingci's ears, a little itchy, more discomfort, she took half a step back, from In the hot water basin held by Zijin, he wrung out the handkerchief, wiped her cheeks, and answered her in a low voice: "If you live in Changle Palace, there will be nine out of ten, but since the concubine Xiangui invites you, she will." All is well."

Since the noble concubine Gu Liangrou was able to raise the third prince in the palace and compete with the empress, her power in the palace must not be small. Even if the third prince had passed away at this time, her own palace wanted to protect the two of them , it is not difficult.

The key point is that people are in Zhaoren Palace, if the queen wants to send an assassin to test her, she will probably weigh the strength of Concubine Xian. If the assassin is captured, Concubine Xian will not let go if she catches him. Ci only agreed to Concubine Xian's invitation.

Xun Changqing nodded, "You mean that Concubine Xian Gui will stand in the way outside? We are guests, and if there are assassins, the master should be the one who is anxious."

The queen plotted a plot, but she missed the first scene, and pinned her hopes on the second scene. Unexpectedly, the noble concubine Xian made troubles on the way, and she was afraid that she would be so angry that she would jump around in Changle Palace.

The heavy snow at night surrounds the entire Forbidden Palace, and under the black night, large flakes of snow flutter down, and only the sound of falling snow can be heard in the quiet room. Listening to the snow at night is also a beautiful thing in the world.

In Changle Palace, no one put their minds on the heavy snow, Empress Shao Yun was trembling with anger, the cups, bowls and dishes that she could touch had already been broken all over the ground, and the palace was full of palace people kneeling, I fell on the ground and dared not speak, the cloud bursts were more terrifying than the snowstorm outside.

"Gu Liangrou, your son is dead and still restless, disturbing the important affairs of this palace, a small Zhaoren Palace, I don't believe that there is no opening to enter like a copper wall and iron wall," the queen's mouth twitched violently, and she slapped the table with her palm Going up, looking at the palace people in the palace, he became more and more angry, "Go out, get the hell out of my palace, what use are you to have?"

With the cold light in the naked eyes under the slender eyelashes, he ordered the man standing beside him, "Follow the plan and send someone to Zhaoren Palace to see if Wei Lingci is the assassin from yesterday, and whether he is from the Pingnan Palace." I'm acting, if it's what they did, I won't let any of them go."

The smile on the corner of his mouth was like a poisonous flower that was about to bloom, and the poison penetrated into his flesh and blood, but the man standing next to him had already gotten used to it. The exquisite carving on the long knife at his waist showed his extraordinary status. Cen Li, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard , There is only one word between the deputy commander and the commander, but the status is worlds apart.

After thinking about it for a while, he obviously disagreed with the queen's way of breaking the boat, "Mother, I'm afraid this matter cannot continue. The guards of Zhaoren Palace belong to Yuan Qingming, and the minister's people are not allowed to enter; moreover, if they are captured, I am afraid that it will cause trouble." Empress and Your Highness."

Shao Yun waved her hand and said, "Even if you are caught, as long as you expose Wei Ling's words, you will be an assassin, and nothing will happen."

"Your Majesty, all of this is just your conjecture, and there is no real evidence. If Wei Ling's words are not true, I'm afraid you will lose His Majesty's trust, and you will lose more than you deserve."

"Cen Li, it was you who told me that the Pingnan Palace quietly invited a doctor, and that the doctor still stayed in the mansion and never left. This is the best evidence."

Cen Li frowned deeply, and then explained: "It's just a matter of asking for a doctor. Princess Xiang'an may be unwell, so it's common sense that she doesn't want to ask for a doctor."

"Cen Li, no matter what you do, I must go to Zhaoren Palace to have a look. This is my order," Shao Yun ordered coldly. This matter involves the Shao family. She can't just ignore it. The emperor has been dissatisfied recently. Although she and the Shao family have a fair attitude towards Xun Yiran, it is not difficult to guarantee that the emperor will implicate Xun Yiran because of the Shao family.

The boiled duck is in her hand, how can it be taken away by others? She then ordered: "Send someone to investigate the doctor, and be sure to bring the doctor to this palace to see if he is the one who healed Wei Lingci." hurt."

This action will definitely disturb His Majesty, if not, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. Although Cen Li is used by the Empress, he still cannot do such a self-destructive thing. After receiving the Queen's order, he immediately went out Changle Palace.

Just diverted to the Hanyuan Hall and reported the matter to Xun Yen, the Queen is His Majesty's official wife, if this matter fails, he will surely bear the blame, and his family will not be able to survive.

After the second prince found out, he really ordered that this matter be put on hold in advance, and he went to Changle Palace to discuss with the queen himself.

Cen Li didn't know how to talk about it, but after receiving the order to stop the plan, perhaps in the eyes of the second prince, he couldn't afford to gamble.

In the Hanyuan Hall, the emperor's attitude towards him was much worse than before. The emperor suspected that Shao Tang was spreading rumors. He had close contacts with the Shao family. No matter how he explained it, he was powerless and pale.Uncle Shao Cheng was still trying to keep his son in law, but he hardly dared to intervene in it. The emperor's words were beating him both openly and secretly.

Most of the queen's power comes from the Shao family, but over the years he has gradually realized that his uncle is no longer under the control of the mother and son. In the public, Shao Tang's words are like nails nailed to the ground, how can they be pulled out?

There is no way to argue, he must abandon Shao Tang and save himself.

All he has to do is to calm down the matter and let the emperor and the people forget about it, instead of spreading the matter to the point of being out of control.The Empress Dowager's move was too risky. If not, ordering assassins to enter the Hall of Zhaoren, although it was to test Wei Ling's words, if Concubine Xian bit back, and it was her who assassinated, then how should they argue.

The emperor already felt guilty towards the concubine Xiangui, and this action will definitely aggravate his guilt. The empress loses her morals, and she is afraid that she will lose her position.Taking a step back, exposing Wei Lingci as an assassin will only implicate her alone, and Pingnan Palace will not lose half a point.

After careful consideration, the queen had no choice but to abandon the plan.

It's not worth risking all of your wealth and life for Wei Lingci!

........................

A faint fragrance wafted from the incense cauldron carved with gold silk, the atmosphere in the whole bedroom was mild, the doors and windows were closed, the crimson mantle and vermilion gauze swayed slowly, the candles were burning high, after Zijin and Xianyun tidied up, they all left the side hall together .

The two people in the hall sleep on separate beds!

In the cold winter, after drinking, she felt colder and colder. Lying on the soft couch, Xun Changqing tossed and turned, feeling the cold into her bones. The charcoal stove used for heating in the hall was far away, so she could not feel the heat source.

Tossing and turning, feeling a little dizzy, suddenly lifted the quilt, looked at the bed in the inner hall for a while, then got off the bed and ran inside, stepping on the cold floor tiles with bare feet, feeling more and more biting cold, standing in front of the bed, the corner of his mouth With a glance, he said aggrievedly: "It's so cold outside, I can't sleep."

The light sleeper opened his eyes, and there was a weak light in front of the couch, but he could still see Xun Changqing's face clearly, she was the one arguing and sleeping outside, and now she was wronged, she was really unpredictable, she smiled and said : "Want to change bed with me?"

"Don't change it, just give me half of it," said Xun Changqing, afraid that she would regret it again, so he got on the bed and got into the bed. It was much warmer than outside. She turned her head and looked at the person moving inward, and said again :"I am dizzy……"

Wei Lingci's expression eased, and after being tucked under the quilt, he lay on the inside, and said lightly: "Drunk people should sleep as soon as they touch the couch. You don't look drunk at all, but pretend to be drunk."

"Pretend to be drunk and pretend to be drunk, anyway, I'm dizzy," Xun Changqing looked at her, his eyes were really a little blurred, he fumbled randomly under the quilt, touched the hand she put between the two, and held it tightly. After getting up, he closed his eyes contentedly.

Wei Lingci didn't expect her to be so active, which made her a little at a loss. The hand being held wanted to withdraw, but she didn't want to let her down, so she held it and looked sideways at her, with a drunken expression on her face. Flushing red, he said with a light smile, "Changqing, aren't you afraid of assassins now?"

Xun Changqing lazily said: "I'll just keep watch."

"What are you guarding?"

"Watch...Natural vigil."

"Will the night watchman lie on the couch?"

"Then I will guard you, can it be done?" Xun Changqing opened his eyes, stared at the veil on the top, his drowsiness gradually receded, and he remembered something in his mind, and suddenly said: "Do you like to be a queen? No, mine Does that mean you want to be queen?"

Wei Lingci's heart was shocked, his smile disappeared, and he didn't answer, while Xun Changqing lay on his side, just looking at her, smelling the faint fragrance of peach blossoms on her body, "I made Xun Yiran's marriage possible , you will be disappointed... No, if you regret it, there is still time, after all, the world of motherhood is still very beautiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Lingci pulled away her hand, closed her eyes and fell asleep, making Xun Changqing feel bored, and she also moved inward, holding her fingertips on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "You're angry?"

"No, in fact, there is no room for change in this matter. The second prince and concubine can change it," the voice was as cold as a gurgling stream, and it was obviously soft, but it made people feel icy cold.

Xun Changqing felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I said nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"The words have been spoken, why not take them seriously."

"I... I'm drunk and talking nonsense, of course it's unbelievable," Xun Changqing lied indiscriminately, his heart jumped for joy, and he stretched his hand towards Wei Lingci obediently, and put his arms around her soft waist, The touch is warm and greasy, the eyes seem to be gentle from a lifetime ago, and she smiles, "The queen is easy to become a jealous woman, okay?"

Wei Lingci opened his eyes, she was already against the wall, there was no way to retreat, a slightly cool hand was added to her waist, she stroked it aside, put her hand on her waist, and said lightly: "Chang Qing , then what are you now?"

Xun Changqing blinked, as if he didn't understand what she meant, "What am I..."
