Chapter 897 Want to Erase the Sadness Between Her Brows and Eyes
Ruoyin smiled sarcastically and ignored Li Shi.
She just walked forward and said: "Okay, except Mrs. Li, the rest of the people will stay with me in Zhongcui Palace."
In the past, in the house, she basically turned a blind eye to the backyard as long as it did not affect her interests.
But it's different now.
If nothing else, she is the queen.
The water in the Forbidden City is much muddier than in the garden.
If she is still so talkative, others may think that she is a queen who is easy to bully.
So, she just treated Li like that.
The purpose is to show off to the backyard.
Besides, with Li Shi's temperament, he really needs to be restrained.
Otherwise, if this continues, maybe some jokes will really come out during the national funeral.
Immediately afterwards, Su Peisheng laughed a few times, then shrugged his head and led the way.
For everything that just happened, he just pretended that he didn't see anything and didn't know anything.
He is not a slave who can intervene in the affairs of the mistresses.
Seeing everyone in a hurry, Mrs. Li stomped her feet angrily on the spot!
The few in the backyard followed Ruoyin.
I always feel that Fujin is a little different.
After such a delay by Mrs. Li.
But from dusk, wasted to dark.
Ruoyin walked to the Forbidden City.
The slave in front held the lotus lantern, and the shadows of the crowd were drawn long by the night light.
The evening wind in May is still a little cool on the face.
It was so cold that Ruoyin held Banmei's hand tightly and tightly.
But I still felt that coolness penetrated to the bottom of my heart.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the sky.
The night in the Forbidden City is extraordinarily quiet compared to the Old Summer Palace.
No cicadas chirping.
No frogs.
There is no cooking smoke with the breath of life.
There is no dog barking and chicken crowing.
Only the footsteps of the crowd.
Banmei noticed the change in Ruoyin's palm, and said calmly, "Looking at the misty moon in the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
Ruoyin gave a faint "um" and stopped talking.
A while later, Su Peisheng brought Ruoyin and the others to Zhongcui Palace.
Under Su Peisheng's leadership, Ruoyin took a stroll.
This is a typical palace house, with a yellow glazed tile roof and a Su-style color painting under the eaves.
The windows are sill windows with uniform ice cracks.
The main entrance faces south, and the main hall in the front yard is the main hall of Zhongcui Palace. There are 5 rooms with ear rooms on both sides.
This place, of course, was lived by an upright master like Ruoyin.
There are east and west side halls in front of the hall, but the specifications are slightly lower than the main hall, with only 3 rooms in each.
The roofs are all lower grade hard mountain styles.
Nianshi and Niugulushi lived in the East and West halls.
After arranging the backyard and the children, Ruoyin sent everyone away.
After a tiring day, she was really tired.
Thinking that fourth master, as the successor emperor, might still be busy.
In addition, at this time, fourth master needs to wear mourning and abstinence from sexual intercourse, so he probably doesn't have time to come here.
Therefore, Ruoyin didn't plan to wait for fourth master.
She entered her own room, washed up briefly, and settled down.
Who knew that when she slept in the middle of the night, a man came to her room quietly.
When fourth master was in the courtyard, in order not to disturb the entire Zhongcui palace, he deliberately didn't let the servants sing the newspaper.
After entering Ruoyin's main hall, he dismissed all the servants and arrived at her bedside without even lighting the candles.
He lifted the curtain of the bed and just stood there without waking her up.
Just looked at her quietly.
At this moment, although there are no lights in the house, there are no candles.
But the moonlight was hazy outside, spilling into the room through the window, and shining on the woman's face.
She was wearing a thin silk nightgown, sleeping on her side.
Putting her hands together, she put them on the side of the pillow in a very elegant and ladylike manner, leaning gently against her face.
Her black and beautiful hair spread like a cloud on the silk pillow.
His gaze crossed her white and elegant swan neck.
Lips as red as a begonia.
Lashes like a butterfly resting.
This woman, even if there is a priceless pearl beside her pillow.
Nothing beats her brilliance.
It's just... when she was sleeping soundly, her willow eyebrows were slightly drawn together.
There seems to be an indelible sadness.
Seeing that fourth master's thick eyebrows frowned slightly.
He had rarely seen her like this.
In the past, when she was sleeping soundly, there was often a smile on the corner of her mouth.
He raised his hand, trying to wipe away the sadness between her brows and eyes.
But was interrupted by Chen Biao outside the screen, "Emperor..."
Chen Biao only said one word, Fourth Master turned around and waved his hands vigorously, sending Chen Biao out.
And he himself also left the main hall and walked outside the Zhongcui Palace.
Originally, when he came today, he just took the time to visit her.
It wouldn't be so decent to get involved with a woman within a few days of losing his father.
Now that Chen Biao is here, it is natural that business matters.
After leaving the Zhongcui Palace, he walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Chen Biao, who held back all the way, hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, there is a news report from our people. The Fourteenth Master is on his way back to Beijing with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, the Eighth Master and the Ninth Master have colluded with more than a hundred important ministers in private." , showing signs of rebellion."
Hearing this, the fourth master snorted coldly and said, "I am the rightful successor emperor, and everything is stable in the capital, so how can we put down the rebellion?"
"It is estimated that they originally wanted to rebel, but they were afraid that the Fourteenth Lord only had the right to command the army and not the right to deploy troops, so they took the risk and wanted to put down the rebellion."
"Then send an order to Nian Gengyao and Li Wei to cut off the food and grass for those soldiers," said the fourth master.
"Then...if you push them into a hurry, what if they come hard?"
"If it's tough at fourteen, let Nian Gengxiao sit in Chuanxia and fight a tough battle with him."
"yes."
Fourth Master walked in front with his hands behind his back, a black shadow flashed across his deep black pupils, and then he said: "It's hard, it's hard, it's not a last resort, and it can't hurt Fourteen's life. I want him to return to Beijing alive."
"Yes, I'll do it now, slave." Unexpectedly, Chen Biao hadn't taken a few steps before he was stopped by the fourth master, "Wait a minute."
"Does the emperor have any orders?" Chen Biao turned around and slapped Qian Er.
Fourth master didn't speak immediately, but just stopped on the spot with his hands behind his back.
The moonlight shone on his masculine face, and his straight nose looked even tougher under the light, revealing a chilling coldness.
After a long time, he said calmly: "I pass on my will, order the fourteenth elder brother Yinti to hand over the commander's seal, and allow him to return to Beijing with ten guards."
After Chen Biao paused, he replied, "Yes!"
He didn't know that the emperor didn't want to push the fourteenth master too fast, lest the two brothers get too stiff.
That's why I left room for Master Fourteen.
If the Fourteenth Master is sensible, he can avoid internal strife and save soldiers from killing each other.
However, if the Fourteenth Master insists on rebelling, a hard battle will inevitably be fought.
All of this... still depends on how Master Fourteen chooses.
