Chapter 90 Chapter 90: Concubine Tushan
Mrs. Hai was wearing a water-blue raccoon fleece brocade jacket, like a body kneaded by the rustling blue water, and the patterns embellished with pearls and turquoise on the clothes rippled all over her body.Yuan Xin's unscrupulous hug made her turn pale even more, and the sadness in her brows and eyes could not be concealed: "Your Majesty, everyone is watching..."
"Who dares to look at it?" Yuan Xin disdained shame, but felt that Mrs. Hai was too shy. He took off a white jade pendant of Haidongqing catching swans from his waist, and threw it on the ground. amnesty--"
Sure enough, no one in the tent dared to look at it. Everyone obediently lowered their heads and stared at the jade pendant, for fear of losing their heads if they were not careful.Listening to Yuan Xin and Mrs. Hai's lingering lips and tongues, Long Baiyue raised her heart in her throat, feeling terrified and embarrassed at the same time.
Yuan Xin's frivolity became more and more unbridled, and Mrs. Hai burst into tears with shame and indignation—thought that if everyone didn't watch it, wouldn't everyone be watching?Such absurd behavior of deceiving her ears and stealing her ears can only make her feel ashamed.
There was a moment of silence in the tent, except for Yuan Xin and Mrs. Hai's ear-to-eye rubbing together, which was particularly clear.Just when everyone thought that the situation was irreversible, and they were destined to accompany the guests in this scene, they suddenly heard the high-pitched voice of the servant outside the tent: "Duke Concubine Tushan is here—"
Hearing the servant's announcement, Yuan Xin raised her head out of breath, her brows were tightly frowned, but she could only suppress her displeasure, and let go of Mrs. Hai.
The curtain was lifted again, and with the soft ringing of the pendant ring, a gust of fragrant wind came, and the graceful voice of Concubine Tushan was like Chunlan: "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Xin's face was cold, his pale features were stained by his brows and lips, and his paranoid expression showed his sharpness: "What is mother and concubine doing here again?"
Today's Concubine Tushan is not Yuan Xin's biological mother, she is the wife of Prince Dongzhu and Yuan Xin's aunt, and is well-known among the nobles of the Yan Kingdom.Her own son Yuan Yun was killed because he opposed Yuan Xin's usurpation of the throne. Now that he is a concubine, he neither holds grudges nor fears Yuan Xin.Yuan Xin prides herself on governing the world with filial piety, and because of her reputation, she is willing to maintain a stalemate with her.
"Your Majesty can hunt outside to your heart's content, why don't we, women and children, be allowed to come and go in the tent, and chat and laugh to relieve boredom?" Dowager Tu Shan smiled warmly, and went forward and handed Mrs. Hai her hand, asking her to help her sit on the upper table.
Yuan Xin resented secretly, and raised her eyebrows pretending to be helpless: "I am tired from hunting, so I have the right to rest here. The concubine mother came to find Mrs. Hai to relieve her boredom, so I am ashamed to stay."
"Where is this?" Princess Tushan sneered, waved her hand, and raised a wine glass, "It's snowing outside, Your Majesty must at least drink a cup of hot wine before leaving."
Yuan Xin's eyes immediately darkened - this cunning old woman was clearly ordering Mrs. Hai to leave.
Seeing that Yuan Xin did not answer, Concubine Tu Shan sized him up with a smile, and said: "Just now, I saw so many princes and ministers waiting outside, and there are not as many pheasant feathers in their belts as your majesty, your majesty is really good at hunting. "
Yuan Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, walked away resentfully, picked up the jade pendant on the ground and put it on his waist, and replied with a lazy smile: "Since that's the case, I have to go out to hunt again, so as not to disturb the concubine's interest."
The concubine nodded with a smile, watched her court lady serve Yuan Xin as she drank the hot wine, and then kindly told her, "Your Majesty, let's go."
Yuan Xin sneered, lifted the curtain and leaned out of the tent.
There was another chaotic barking of horses and dogs outside the tent, and it took a long time before it stopped.Mrs. Hai trembled and fell beside the concubine's knee, begging and begging: "Thank you, concubine for saving me..."
Concubine Tushan sighed, leaned over and helped her to sit up: "The mourning family can't take care of you, and it was because of Prince Xiaojin that I begged the mourning family just now."
Mrs. Hai was startled when she heard the words, her face was full of shame, she became more and more panicked, and she was in pain.
"Think about it, women can't take themselves too seriously - if the Aijia hadn't been like this, they would have followed Yuner when Yun'er died..." Speaking of this, the concubine burst into tears and shook her head He also comforted her, "You are also a disaster, so take good care of yourself. Live a day of being confused, and a happy day, until the day you kill yourself and become a benefactor, you can no longer pretend to be confused like this."
Mrs. Hai's autumn-like eyes were full of confusion, she looked at the concubine and murmured: "I don't understand..."
"The old saying is good: the ship is in the vortex, and the helm is not steered. Our husband lives on horseback. Women in the country of Yan must not only be strong, but also smart-you just follow him, and the situation cannot tolerate any more chaos now. ..." Concubine Tu Shan glanced at the palace servants who were still kneeling, and sighed again, "Stop kneeling, get up."
Only then did Long Baiyue dare to stand up, she stepped back tremblingly, and took a sneak peek at Concubine Tushan, but when she saw her rich forehead, grandeur, grace and luxury, she thought to herself that this concubine really has extraordinary temperament, no wonder she can speak so eloquently. To put it bluntly - is it luck or misfortune to be driven into a desperate situation by others?
"Concubine Toffee understands righteousness very well. We grew up listening to your teachings since we were young." Mrs. Hai lowered her head obediently and echoed, rubbing her skirt with slender hands uneasily, confiding her thoughts, "But I am always Princess Xiaojin, my lord... ... all right?"
"He still looks out of his mind." The concubine took a mouthful of Korean chestnut cake and lamented, "He used to be a good boy, but now... don't pour shochu, Ai's family is not used to drinking kumiss. it is good……"
Mrs. Hai hurriedly dismissed the maid with clumsy eyes and hands, but found that the concubine had changed the topic.She noticed that the concubine was in a waning mood, so she didn't dare to make a fuss, so she had to stay by the side pitifully as a companion.Her shrinking appearance aroused infinite sympathy from Long Baiyue—poor Mrs. Hai, the only way to get news from Prince Xiaojin was also blocked, not to mention that this concubine is also abominable, she simply didn't mention a word, but she still said something Isn't it obvious that people are worried about being out of their minds?
The head fish feast was held for three consecutive days, during which it seemed calm but undercurrents were turbulent. Yan Wang Yuanxin harassed Mrs. Hai several times, and the concubine was not easy to interfere in the dead of night. Long Baiyue didn't know the reaction of the little Jin prince outside, but Mrs. Hai was crying behind her back, so she had to accompany her to persuade her.At other times, Long Baiyue would think of ways to have a private meeting with Zi Mian, but also had to be wary of being discovered by Yuan Xin, once the thrilling success was achieved, it would be the joy of stimulating the wild waves. Ming Chuangchen didn't come with Zi Mian, so Zi Mian lived alone in a tent, which was more convenient for Long Baiyue Jiese.On the third night, after Yuan Xin got into Mrs. Hai's tent, she tiptoed into Tianshi's big tent again, took off her coat, and walked into Zi Mian's arms with cold hands and feet. Zi Mian laughed softly, put down the medicine book in her hand, pulled up the wolf fur blanket for her, and tucked it tightly.Long Baiyue smiled and hugged him tightly, and whispered ambiguously: "I hate the strange smell of the fur of wild animals, but you don't have it here. The smell is so comfortable..." "I put some medicine." Zi Mian's honest answer made Long Baiyue happier than showing off, she giggled and said, "What good medicine, give me some next time, I also have a quilt." "Do you have a quilt too..." It took a while for Long Baiyue to hear the ridicule in Zi Mian's words, she blushed, and buried her head in his arms without saying a word.Zi Mian smiled, turned on the lamp, and lay quietly holding Long Baiyue in the dark for a long time. "Perhaps Ling Yun has been rescued now." He suddenly broke the silence, waking up Long Baiyue who was originally immersed in reverie. "What? Do you have a plan to save Ling Yun?" She raised her head and met Zi Mian's bright eyes in surprise in the night. "No," Zi Mian shook his head, the night blurred his panicked look, but couldn't hide the helplessness in his voice, "I don't know how to save him, he won't accept my love, and also makes me fearful. This feeling is hard to describe, for example, he is stuck in the mud right now, and I dare not hand him my hand..." "Afraid that not only will he not want you to save him, but he will also pull you down into the abyss?" Long Baiyue asked. "Yes, it's undeniable that there has been a gap between me and him. He hates me, I fear him, and I can't communicate like before..." Zi Mian recalled He Lingyun's hateful eyes in the prison, and all the things she had done in the past. I just feel that there are many contradictions that cannot be eliminated. "He hates you for explaining—but even if he is a loyal general, how much is your fault for the loss of mountains and rivers? As long as you explain well, it should be able to recover..." Long Baiyue remembered what He Lingyun said to her in the prison , even though he said so, he was also quite embarrassed, "But why are you afraid of him? Because you once treasoned the country? If you can't face your old friend calmly, then you should also be afraid of me..." "Because I did something wrong," Zi Mian sighed quietly, "Besides, who said I wasn't afraid of you back then..." It's just that she was so considerate, so considerate that he didn't even have time to show his timidity, and the two of them became close.Zi Mian couldn't help but hug Long Baiyue tightly again, and closed her eyes to absorb the fragrance of her hair.Long Baiyue rested her pillow on Zi Mian's shoulder, and asked in a daze: "What have you done to your heart?" Zi Mian will control He Lingyun's father's soul, use him to stage a deception of magic soldiers defending the city, and tell Long Baiyue roughly what happened to the prince's army. That's what happened." "So before going to the first fish feast, when Bao'er said that she would take the opportunity and try to save Ling Yun with Lingbao, I temporarily left the window dust," Zi Mian said sadly, "Maybe he can help, but I... ...forget it.” Long Baiyue thought of He Lingyun, who was covered in bruises, and Mrs. He who was lying in a pool of blood. After feeling melancholy for a long time, she suggested, "Let's keep the matter of He Zhengshi from Ling Yun. With his temper, he should know the real cause of his father's death." How uncomfortable." "Can I still have a chance to tell him this?" Zi Mian thought about Yuan Xin's suspicious eyes, and said bluntly, "The King of Yan is already suspicious of me, if Ling Yun can escape when I am not in Yan Palace, it will be good for me and him. It's just that we will never see each other again..." Long Baiyue kept silent, she could only suppress her worries, close her eyes and hug Zi Mian tightly, and spend the long night with him... In the early morning of the next day, when Long Baiyue returned to the palace, Long Baiyue looked at the sky and returned to Mrs. Hai. She was a little haggard due to insomnia.Long Baiyue was worried about the few people who rescued Ling Yun, and was terribly worried. While praying for their success, she also thought that after the success, she would never see Ling Yun and Ling Bao again. The return trip went smoothly, everyone arrived at Yan Palace in the afternoon, but Mrs. Hai's body suddenly became hot, Long Baiyue couldn't escape temporarily, so she stayed in Fengying Palace to wait on her.She was busy until the evening before she finally stopped. She had just walked out of the palace to take a breath, but when she was dizzy, she was suddenly hugged from behind.Long Baiyue was startled, turned her head hastily, and saw Bao'er winking at her and sticking out her tongue. Long Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly thumped Bao'er: "You scared me to death, who am I..." "Who do you think? King Yan?" Bao'er was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary court lady, and said triumphantly, "Don't worry, he is always flying around everywhere, how could he come here quietly?" That's hard to say, Long Baiyue thought to himself, looked around, pulled Bao'er aside and questioned: "Did you and Lingbao rescue He Lingyun together? Did you rescue them? Where are they now?" Bao'er stomped her feet excitedly, blinked and said mysteriously: "It's rescued!" "Thank God!" Long Baiyue clasped his hands together, feeling relieved. From then on, Lingbao and Lingyun could live together and fly happily... Long Baiyue was still meditating, but when she opened her eyes, she found that Lingbao was shivering and looking at her in the corner.This shock was no small matter, Long Baiyue immediately staggered forward and grabbed her arm, screaming: "Why are you still here?" "I...I..." Lingbao's tears rolled in his eyes, and he stammered to answer, "We can't go, the golden silkworm on Ling Yun's back must be Master Zimian..." "Oh," Bao'er scratched her head, and confessed to Long Baiyue, "That's why we came to you. Is there any good way?" Long Baiyue glared at Bao'er, and said angrily: "You are heartless, you made me happy for nothing! What happened to the golden silkworm on Ling Yun's back?" Lingbao Liushen Wuzhu replied: "You will know it when you go to see it, it's terrible... I thought Ling Yun was injured because of the torture, but I just took a look at his back and realized that he turned into that..." "I'll go over and have a look right away," Long Baiyue said anxiously, "But if you don't come out of the palace, where can we hide Ling Yun? It's a dead end when King Yan finds out!" Lingbao begged her: "Isn't it okay to hide in Tianshi Palace?" "No, King Yan already suspected Zi Mian, he will be the first to search there!" Long Baiyue was only talking, but suddenly found that Lingbao's face turned pale, and his frightened eyes were looking straight at her back.Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head slowly following Lingbao's gaze. I saw Mrs. Hai leaning against the gate of the palace, looking at them and muttering, "You..." Catastrophe is imminent!Long Baiyue's face was pale, and she hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Madam, please forgive me, the servants are also forced to..." Mrs. Hai stared blankly at them, and after a long silence, she suddenly said, "I can help you, but you also have to help me... help me to contact Prince Xiao Jin..."
The head fish feast was held for three consecutive days, during which it seemed calm but undercurrents were turbulent.
