Empress' Marshal's Concubine

Chapter 14 Mantis Catching Cicadas

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu sent someone to deliver a letter." Wang Xi's footsteps were inaudible, but as soon as he entered the bedroom of Hidden Yuxuan, Wu Zetian, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and waited for Ye Qingruo to make side dishes, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Present." Wu Zetian's lazy voice made Wang Xi shudder.Every time His Majesty does this, people will die every time. I don't know who is so unlucky this time.

"Is everything ready?" Wu Zetian asked casually as he unwrapped Concubine Shu's letter.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes. Concubine Ning is probably frightened by Concubine Shu's sternness." Wang Xi bowed his head flatteringly, but glanced at Zang Yuxuan's bedroom from the corner of his eyes. They were all replaced by good ones, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"What did Concubine Shu say?" Wu Zetian glanced at Concubine Shu's letter, and it was nothing more than reporting the movements of the concubines in the inner palace and the contacts with the forces behind them.

Since the person who poisoned one after another was the eldest daughter of Huaihua General Xiong Rui, Xiong Chongyuan and Xiong Shuixuan.

Concubine Shu moved so fast, she found out who did it in such a short time!

It's just that the letter said that Concubine Ning was poisoned one after another, but I only knew that Concubine Ning was poisoned once...

It seems that this girl is telling the truth to herself!

She really wanted to live, she didn't want to just die without understanding!

But in the harem, if you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, you don't deserve to live.This girl has not been here for a long time, and she still doesn't understand this truth!

"Let Concubine Shu find out whether it was Xiong Chongyuan's own initiative or her father Xiong Rui's intention. Let Di Renjie find out about Xiong Rui." Wu Zetian said as he rolled up the letter in his hand into a ball of paper, threw it to Wang Xi, and then I closed my eyes.

Wang Xi quickly put the ball of paper into his sleeves knowingly, backed out, found a place where no one was around, burned the ball of paper to ashes, and then turned and left.

Wang Xi left, and from behind the rockery, a man in a white scholar's attire walked out. Looking at Wang Xi's leaving back, he smiled slightly.

I didn't expect His Majesty to really care about her!

People checked it out so quickly.

However, this Xiong Rui was usually arrogant and domineering, so he really should be rectified.

There is nothing in the harem that Concubine Shu and the national teacher do not know.

No one knows why His Majesty would allow the national teacher to live in the harem.

I don't even know why His Majesty gave the National Teacher so much power. The National Teacher has the right to deal with matters in the harem, and he can cut it first and then play it!

This is the right to life and death in the harem, even Concubine Shu who is in charge of the phoenix seal in the harem is included!

No one knows that the national teacher knows martial arts, and he is also a master of the rivers and lakes. Everyone knows that the national teacher is weak in literature, and his fortune-telling is very accurate.

In order to ensure Wu Zetian's safety, the national teacher also worked hard to train himself.

During the two times when Wu Zetian went to court and went to the imperial study room to correct the memorials, the national teacher did not follow him. At other times, the national teacher basically hid in places that no one would find, secretly protecting Wu Zetian's safety.

Of course today was no exception, so she came here with Wang Xi just to make sure that Concubine Shu's letter had really been burnt clean, without leaving any omissions, and was seen by others.

To be sure and cautious in doing things is the habit of the national teacher who has been with Wu Zetian for many years.

She does not allow Wu Zetian to be exposed to danger, let alone accept Wu Zetian being in danger.

"Who?" Yan's voice was full of evil spirits.Looking behind the tree not far away.

"Greetings to the national teacher..." The one who spoke was the concubine Xian who came slowly, dressed in a purple palace attire.

Yan Yan frowned when he heard the voice, why is she here?

This woman is really restless.

Since he has the guts to follow up here, it seems that the palace should be changed.

It's too conceited for a concubine-like empress to come to such a remote place without even a maidservant.

If he hadn't discovered it by himself, he might have gotten away with it.

Wang Xi is still not careful enough in doing things!

"Concubine Xian, why did you come to such a remote place alone?" The national teacher looked at Concubine Xian without any expression on his face, but there was a flash of sternness in his eyes.

The Fan clan was really restless.

Is it time to start?

"The cat raised by this palace ran away and chased it here..." Concubine Xian was also someone who had seen the world, she was talking nonsense without blushing or panting.

"Oh...the minister accompanied the concubine Xian to look for it." Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Concubine Xian.She didn't know when Concubine Xian had raised cats. To be precise, there were no cats in this palace.

Wu Zetian tabooed cats. After the death of concubine Xiao Shu in the previous dynasty, cats were not allowed in the harem.

What a stupid woman, she didn't even know this, and dared to lie in front of herself.

Since he wants to act, then he can accompany him!

"You don't need to bother the national teacher. I can find it myself." Concubine Xian declined.

"Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu is looking for you! Do you want to go to Concubine Shu first?" The national teacher looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, what a beautiful scenery, just like this Stupid woman is broken.

I'm too lazy to take care of the affairs of the harem, let Concubine Shu handle it by herself!

I am happy to be at leisure, I don't know what side dishes Ye Qingruo made over there.

Try it yourself, this will rush over, it should still be too late.

The national teacher thought about waving his hand, and left first, leaving Concubine Xian alone on the spot, his heart beating wildly, full of uneasiness.

How could the national teacher know that he was behind the tree, and how could the national teacher so coincidentally bring a message to him, Concubine Shu looking for him?

Could it be that the national teacher has been following him?

Then the national teacher also knew that he was following Wang Xi?

Or does she know that she is not a real princess?

No matter which one, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is to kill the head and exterminate the family...

Concubine Xian was still beating in her heart, and the servant girl in her own palace came to find her, "Ma'am, Concubine Shu sent someone to invite you over!"

Concubine Xian swayed when she heard the maidservant's words. Since it was true, she felt a little lucky just now, maybe the national teacher lied to herself!

So it seems to be true!

So how much does the national teacher know, and how much does Concubine Shu know?

"Send this bracelet from Ben Gong to someone." Concubine Xian took off a gold string from her left wrist.

When the maid saw it, she knelt straight down, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

This maid came from Fan Clan as a dowry with Concubine Xian. Like Gu Yue'er, she was cultivated by Fan Clan since childhood, but her beauty and figure were not as coquettish as Gu Yue'er's.

"It's too late to elaborate, you go quickly." Gu Yue'er hurried back to the palace as she spoke, and took a step towards Concubine Shu's Green Bamboo Garden.

The maid was stunned for a while holding the gold string given to her by the concubine Xian, turned over to the room, bent down and performed the night movement technique, thirteen words of running skills...

"Come here! Take her down to this palace!" A soft voice came from the direction of the imperial garden, followed by a dozen guards with knives, who jumped up and came to the front and back of Xianfei's maidservant , in all directions, surrounded the maidservant tightly, and there was no way to escape.

"Xing'er, where are you going in such a hurry?" Concubine Shu walked out from the crowd.

As early as when Wang Xilai asked her about her trip to Zangyuxuan today, Concubine Shu was on guard, so she and the national teacher staged a scene of praying mantis catching cicada and oriole for Concubine Xian to watch. .

Recently, many people in the palace have been bought by Concubine Xian, and a lot of news has been leaked out.

Even His Majesty's favorite tea was tampered with. If His Majesty hadn't taken a sip and found that the taste was not right, he would have sent it to the imperial doctor. Who would have thought that even the people around His Majesty would be bribed? Drug it!

It is simply a medicine that makes people happy and greedy for pleasure. If it is some kind of chronic disease, or Ba Bu Huan Chang San...

I dare not even think about it.

The national teacher is well-informed and knowledgeable, and in a short while he can tell that the unpopular medicine is unique to the Fan tribe.And only the royal family will have it.

After several investigations, it was found that since she was the maid next to Concubine Xian, she gave and received it privately.

Suffering from not being able to catch Xian Concubine, she could only hold back, but she never thought that Xian Concubine would be so bold that she wanted to send a token outside the palace.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this token is, but it is very important to know it, maybe it is a desperate thing.

"People are watching, don't let her commit suicide, take her down, so that she can be questioned." Concubine Shu saw that Xing'er was captured, she wanted to commit suicide, and hurriedly ordered the guards.

"Of order." The guards agreed, tied up Xing'er, and stuffed a handkerchief handed over by the concubine Shu's maidservant into her mouth.

"Send someone to convey a message to Your Majesty." Concubine Shu walked up to Xing'er, stretched out her hand to touch Xing'er's body back and forth, found out from Xing'er's arms the gold string that Concubine Xian gave her just now, and put it on herself Looking carefully in the palm of his hand.

Is there something in this golden string, or does it represent something?

"Oh! Concubine Shu's hands and feet are fast!" The national teacher originally wanted to hide Yuxuan.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the walk, I met Concubine Shu who captured Xing'er in the Royal Garden.

Although this play was co-acted by her and Concubine Shu, she didn't make an appointment with Concubine Shu, because time was tight, the two of them just met in a hurry and started to act.

The tacit understanding of years of cooperation allows the two people to know what each other wants to do and how to take the next step without saying much.

"National Teacher, please take a look. It was found from this girl." Concubine Shu smiled politely, and this smile was full of the gentleness of spring blossoms.

"I still don't want to read it. I'm going to look for Your Majesty. I'll leave this credit to Concubine Shu! I will leave." The national teacher took a slightly imperceptible step back because of Concubine Shu's approach.

Knowing what kind of existence Concubine Shu is, the national teacher has never, and dare not underestimate this gentle and docile woman.

Years of walking in the harem made her develop a habit of vigilance, and she was not used to people getting too close to her, especially the concubines in the palace.

To avoid suspicion, she still knew that no matter how much Wu Zetian trusted her, some rules still had to be followed, and some speeds still had to be controlled.

She doesn't want to be a victim of anyone's superiority, let alone an excuse for someone...

There is only one person in her heart, and that person is Wu Zetian...
