Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 142 Marquis Yingwu enters the palace

Qingfeng's hands trembled.

Shi Yuan was Shi Jiang's son, and Shi Jiang was the late emperor's bodyguard. This bodyguard was obviously barren, but now that he has an extra son, there must be some ulterior secret in it.

Could this secret be related to the identity of the Palace Master?

The clever Qingfeng had long guessed that Taba Rui was not the Empress Dowager Sheng'an, that is, Lan Ting's biological child. After all, many evidences showed that she was carried into the palace by the late emperor himself and raised in the palace in the name of Lan Ting's parent and child. Almost everyone who knew about it died, except one Shi Jiang.

"There is no need to guess anymore. After the closing ceremony is over, the master will personally accompany the little fox to Dashi Country. If it weren't for her, Shi Jiang would not be seen by anyone. If he continues to force him, he may directly Choose death."

Huangfu Yao picked up the things on the table again, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Qingfeng is a smart person, Huangfu Yao explained the complexity and importance of this matter in one sentence, so naturally he would not ask any more questions.

Thinking about it, he stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Duke Ding, if the Palace Mistress comes to see you, please comfort her about Concubine Shu."

"Okay!" Huangfu Yao nodded.

"Farewell!"

-

"Brother, what are we going to do now? There is news from the border town that Jin Guo is already ready to move. If you don't make a decision, you will miss the time."

"I'm waiting for someone." Xue Yingchen lowered his head, gently stroking the layer of tulle on his wrist. It has been a while since this tulle fell into his hands. Whenever he thinks of her, he will look at it, The mind will be inexplicably quiet and settled down.

"You're not waiting for the emperor, are you? She—" Qing Xiao covered her mouth as if thinking of something, and then looked around. Well, only Yang Yan was there, luckily there was no outsider.

Yang Yan is Xue Yingchen's other brother and his right vanguard. He had to leave because of Lan Yue and lived in seclusion in a farm outside the imperial city. But last time he was attacked by the Empress Dowager Shengde, and he was attacked again. With Rui's rescue, he has once again handed over his life to Xue Yingchen's hands.

Because he knew that the eldest brother would definitely not let the emperor have any worries. For the sake of the emperor, he would go to the frontier.

It was also because of this that the expression on his face was always indifferent, as if he was not interested in Xue Yingchen's reaction and decision at all, so that only Qing Xiao was there with all kinds of worries and uneasiness.

Seeing Qing Xiao's cautious appearance, a bit of bitterness overflowed from the corner of Xue Yingchen's mouth, yes, her status is becoming more and more valuable now, he can no longer call her Luo'er like before, but should call her the emperor.

"If she receives the news, she will definitely call me, or come to the Hou's mansion in person." He said, he had already grasped the reaction to Taba Rui, and he also knew that she, who cherishes her talent, still respects his choice. She will definitely come to Hou Mansion to meet him in person.

So he was waiting, waiting for the last meeting.

"But—" Qing Xiao was about to say something when there were soft footsteps outside the door.

"Master Hou." The voice of the person outside the door was a little hurried, even breathing with a little trepidation.

Xue Yingchen stared at the figure outside the door, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"The palace reports that the emperor has fainted."

The air in the room froze slightly.

"Qing Xiao, go to rectify the people and horses, and be ready to go to the border town at any time, Yang Yan, take your wife and children to the Hou's mansion, and then take people to the border town to check the situation first, Qing Xiao and I will be there soon."

"Yes." A gleam of gratitude flashed in Yang Yan's eyes.

"Yes." Qing Xiao knew the seriousness of the matter, and also knew that the eldest brother really fell on the emperor this time, but what can he say?The emperor is so powerful, and he is still the master of Qianque Palace. He still remembers the loss he suffered last time, so he dare not offend her again.

When he reached the door, Qing Xiao suddenly turned around, "Brother, are you still waiting for the emperor?"

"No, I want to enter the palace immediately!" A trace of coldness quickly passed through Xue Yingchen's clear eyes.

-

During the short time when Taba Rui fainted, too many things happened, and too many people had superfluous thoughts.

Among them, the most serious one is Concubine Shu!

It was also a while after Imperial Physician Wang left Jingrui Palace, Qiulan had already returned to Fengyi Palace.

"How is the emperor?" Seeing Qiulan, Concubine Shu quickly stood up, her pale face could not hide her worry and fear.

If the emperor really has something, what should she do?

Qiu Lan showed a serious and dignified expression on her face, "I heard from Wang Taiyi that it was because of excessive sadness. I don't know what kind of stimulation caused me to faint suddenly, but I went to inquire about it. I heard that the emperor came from Fengyi Palace last night. I didn’t close my eyes when I got back, and just sat there all night.”

"Sit all night?"

"En." Qiulan nodded heavily, very puzzled, "Mother, why did the emperor leave suddenly last night? Did you accidentally offend the emperor? But he didn't do anything bad to you."

Sighing lightly, Concubine Shu shook her head and said, "No, the emperor treats me very well, but I don't know how to cherish it."

Knowing that he fainted because of herself, a crack gradually appeared in Concubine Shu's determination, and that crack was also opened for Tatba Rui.

"Your Majesty, Miss Luyi from Jingrui Palace is asking to see you." A little palace maid who was guarding outside reported in a soft voice.

Green Yi?

Concubine Shu immediately adjusted her makeup, and then said to Qiulan, "Qiulan, go and invite her in."

Concubine Shu has always been kind to the people around Taba Rui, especially this Luyi, who not only takes care of Taba Rui's life, but even knows a lot about him.

The people around him all have martial arts, he thought she didn't know about this, but in fact she knew everything, she just didn't talk about it.

Lu Yi was still dressed in plain green clothes, with a light and elegant temperament, not at all like a servant who served others, but like a well-educated young lady or a member of the royal family.

Seeing Concubine Shu for the first time, Lu Yi already had a little more kindness in her heart.

It is indeed not easy for her to do this for the emperor, especially this woman still loves the emperor so much, if she knows the truth, will she collapse?

"I don't know Lu Yi why you came to Fengyi Palace?" Concubine Shu couldn't help asking when she saw Lu Yi staring at her for a while.

"How is the emperor's health? Is he awake?" Before Lu Yi could answer, she asked again.

"If you go back to your mother, the emperor has already woken up. Tete ordered his servant to invite you over, saying that he wants to see you."

"What? The emperor wants to see me?" Concubine Shu looked at Lu Yi in surprise, thinking she had heard wrong.

She thought that she would fall out of favor.

She thought that the emperor had completely lost confidence in her, and she would definitely lose his unique favor.

She didn't expect that he would still like to see her!
