Concubine like a house

Chapter 135 Which is Wushan and which is the cloud (2)
Dan Xin had no choice but to grit her teeth, and walked in bravely. "Close the door." The emperor ordered again.

With a sad face, Danxin turned and closed the door. The sound of "squeak" sounded slowly, and the door was slowly closed, which not only blocked the light inside, but also made it impossible for everyone to find out what was going on inside the house.

Danxin has never felt that time is so hard to bear, let alone her bedroom is so lonely.Because of the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Granted Emperor, the place where she used to live, was even more frightening than the Asura Hell in an instant.

The candles on the desk flickered from side to side, like ghostly will-o'-the-wisps in the underworld, which were about to burn out.Standing calmly, while Tianshoudi has been sitting leisurely, neither of them moved.After thinking and thinking, Danxin finally decided to break the appalling silence, so she raised a topic in embarrassment: "This candle is about to go out, and this servant is going to replace it with a new one."

Emperor Tianshou still didn't intend to speak, and only stared at her with his phoenix eyes.Danxin was so frightened by the emperor's menacing gaze that he hurriedly walked to the cabinet with composure, took out two candles from the drawer, and put them on the candlestick to light them one by one.

The room was suddenly much brighter than before, and the atmosphere was not so frightening.At this point, Emperor Tianshou finally spoke in a deep voice, with a bit of cold banter in his words: "You are quite brave."

As soon as the word "big" was uttered, Danxin immediately "thumped" and fell to his knees: "My lord, forgive me, this servant is actually very timid."

"Are you still timid?" The Tianshou Emperor's thin lips curled slightly, "Last time in the Zhaixing Tower, you refuted me into speechless; tonight you are talking about my right and wrong behind my back, isn't this courageous? ?”

With a bitter smile, he quickly denied: "Returning to the Holy Lord, it's not that this servant is courageous, but that this servant speaks too quickly. In fact, every time this servant speaks, I feel so regretful that my stomach hurts."

Emperor Tianshou sneered when he heard the words: "Oh? You also know to be afraid?" "Why aren't you afraid?" He complained calmly and helplessly. The guts are at the top, and the mouth is at the bottom, and every time I filter it when I speak, with the courage of this servant girl, eight out of ten sentences have to be filtered back."

The more she spoke, the more frightened she felt, and she couldn't help lowering her head even lower.That black and plump blue silk shawl flowed down, hanging straight on the ground, like two black silk satin curtains, which made one couldn't help but want to reach out and caress it.

The emperor's eyes lingered on the black hair, and he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How is your injury?" This was originally a common concern, but when he thought of the word "servant", he thought that there was something in the emperor's words , and then made a look of extreme pain, pretending to be weak and said: "It hurts! It hurts badly! The wound has not improved, and there are... signs of festering!"

"Really?" Emperor Tianshou obviously saw her careful thinking, and deliberately stood up, "When I was leading the army, I also did some research on skin trauma. Why don't you teach me to see it."

Where is Danxin willing to give in, she hurriedly shook her head and refused: "No! No! How can the Holy Ninth Five-Year..." "Why not?" The Emperor Tianshou interrupted her in time, and said in a joking and serious way, "I am a harm! The chief culprit of your injury, if I don’t see with my own eyes how your injury is, I really can’t feel at ease.” Hearing this, Danxin was so shocked that she couldn’t speak, she wanted to cry but felt her eyes were dry and tearless.She clenched her upper and lower teeth tightly, and her delicate face looked extremely pale under the candlelight.Seeing this, the Emperor Tianshou laughed loudly, and he laughed so calmly that he was confused and even more at a loss.

The Emperor Tianshou laughed for a long while, then sat down on the chair again, and said casually to Danxin: "Do you like to kneel? Get up and talk."

"Your servant obeys." Dan Xin put her hands on the ground and stood up slowly, but she didn't dare to sit down, she just stood nervously, her hands covered in her sleeves and tightly clasped, just like she was struggling at the moment. solution mood.

"Are you really afraid of me?" The Heavenly Granted Emperor asked again leisurely. "Your servant knows you're wrong!" she replied weakly, and then realized that she didn't answer the question, and hurriedly replied, "I'm really afraid of you... No! It's not fear, it's reverence!" It's at this juncture, she still remembers picking Words... The Emperor Tianshou thought so in his heart, and continued to ask on his face: "Are you afraid that I will punish you and say nothing, or are you afraid that I will let you sleep?" "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?" There are all of them, and they are ranked in no particular order." Emperor Tianshou secretly laughed internally for a while, and suddenly remembered Mrs. Cai's performance when she chose a daughter-in-law just now, and his heart sank, and he laughed and mocked her: "You are worthy of being a servant girl in the Yunfu. Retreating instead of advancing, I learned Madam Xie's tricks." "What's wrong with Madam Tai?" Danxin knew that she shouldn't ask, but she couldn't help it.Emperor Tianshou glanced at her, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, suspecting that she was asking questions knowingly.Danxin will be able to observe his words this time, and also aware of the distrust of Emperor Tianshou, so he asked confidently:
"Why, do you think this servant is acting?" Emperor Tianshou still didn't speak, and looked her up and down, as if he was considering whether her words were true or not.Danxin felt aggrieved for no reason, and snorted softly: "Heaven and earth conscience, this servant has been recuperating in Chengwang's mansion for the past few days, so how would she know what 'tricks' Tai Furen used? The servant has neither clairvoyance nor wind ear , let alone predict the future!"

It was probably because she spoke too straightforwardly, with a bit of grievance, the Emperor Tianshou didn't think it was a disguise, so he believed it, and said to her truthfully: "Do you still remember that night on the Star Picking Tower, your wife wanted to do it for you?" Yun Shizi asks for a marriage order?"

Nodded calmly: "Of course I remember." "Mrs. Xie brought this up again tonight." The Emperor Tianshu paused, then sneered, "She likes Empress Dowager Ye's niece and Prime Minister Zhuang's concubine, and she wants to choose between the two." One, let me bestow a marriage guarantor."

"Empress Dowager Ye's niece, Prime Minister Zhuang's concubine..." she said calmly, "As expected of Mrs. Tai, she really knows how to choose!"

"I will indeed choose." Emperor Tianshou sneered again, his expression changed.After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked: "Then... do you agree? Which lady will you finally choose?" The Emperor Tianshou did not expect her, a little maidservant, to understand the powerful relationship, so he remained silent and did not answer.Seeing Tianshoudi's reaction, Danxin also woke up to his thoughts.She compared the two daughters back and forth in her heart, and then sighed: "It's really hard to choose, I'm afraid you won't be happy to choose anyone." "Oh?" This sentence, "You really think so?" Danxin opened her mouth to answer, the original words had reached her throat, she swallowed them back, and said: "I dare not say it."

"I forgive you for your innocence." "I dare not say that! Unless...you give the servant a gold medal to avoid death."

This innocence was too simple, and he dared to bargain in front of the emperor.The Emperor Tianshou couldn't help laughing and shaking his head: "If I want your life, even if you have the gold medal for avoiding death, you will still have to die."

Although he said this with a smile, Danxin felt a gust of wind blowing, and the chill began to chill on his back again.She raised her hand subconsciously to touch her neck, and dared not speak again, but the Emperor Tianshou refused to let her off lightly, and asked again: "Are you going to say it or not?"

Looking up Danxin, I saw the expression on the other party's face, which was really moody.At this moment, she wished she could sew her mouth shut——the words "disaster comes from the mouth" really made her deeply understand.

After hesitating, hesitating, Danxin finally said: "I feel that Mrs. Tai should prefer the daughter of Prime Minister Zhuang."

Emperor Tianshou's eyes were full of light, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly to look at her: "Go on." He wanted to hear how Danxin analyzed Mrs. Xie.

"Forgive me for saying something disrespectful, don't say that the Ye family is hard to convince the public now, even if the Ye family is highly respected, it is not worthy of our wife's 'ingratiation'. Besides, the empress dowager is old, and she has half a foot in the coffin After she passed away, it is hard to say whether the Ye family will prosper or decline, and what the future will be, Mrs. Tai will not work hard on a family whose future is uncertain."

Danxin paused at this point, and then said: "As for Mr. Zhuang...he is full of peaches and plums, and his disciples are all over the court and the public. At least he can influence the Nanxi government for another 20 years, let alone your father-in-law. Mrs. Since Madam and Madam support you, they will naturally value Master Zhuang even more."

Hearing Danxin's analysis, Emperor Tianshou was a little surprised. He didn't expect a little maidservant to say such an opinion, and he couldn't help but scrutinize his eyes: "Who told you these words?"

"No one has ever taught the servant girl." She curled her lips indifferently, "The servant girl is the big maidservant of the Yunfu after all, and has served Lord Hou and Madam personally. Do you really think that the servant girl can only pick words and play tricks?" "So you still I will do other things." Tianshoudi said jokingly, "Now it seems that although you are not brave enough to speak, you still know your brains." Danxin was embarrassed, and he did not forget to boast: "You are the 'inside the door' Look at people - look down on people'. In the past, servants and servants have served Lord Hou's pen and ink! I have heard him mention the current political situation, and I should be aware of it." "In your opinion, should I not accept this marriage?" Should you agree?" The Tianshou Emperor suddenly wanted to test the depth of his innocence. "Yes! You should agree to it happily!" replied lightly.Hearing this, Emperor Tianshou's expression darkened instantly, and he sneered coldly: "You are Mrs. Tai's lobbyist? I have forgotten your identity." The servant girl of Yunfu naturally wanted to speak for Yunfu.After being said by Emperor Tianshou, Danxin also burst into a little anger: "I don't want to say it, but you let me say it. I told the truth, but you said that I am a lobbyist..." She spread her hands, " This matter is not harmful to you, and this slave does not understand why you are not willing to give the marriage."

"You are not willing to marry the Ye family, but this servant can understand. If the queen mother's family is too powerful, it will definitely threaten your status and embarrass His Royal Highness Cheng..." Danxin said here, and secretly glanced He glanced at Emperor Tianshou, and saw that although his face was gloomy, he seemed interested in listening.

So she strengthened her courage, and continued: "If there is no marriage, the Nanxi family will be a three-legged family - the Yun family, the Zhuang family, and the Ye family have their own power, and it is actually difficult to control. But if the Yun family marries with one of them, then The other family will naturally be defeated, as long as you don't let Yun's and Ye's get married, the Empress Dowager's family doesn't have to worry about it. Because you don't have to do it yourself, Ye's family will also be suppressed invisibly."

There is some truth in these words, and it is not easy to think of this level in a light heart.Emperor Tianshou also looked at her with admiration: "After all, you are still lobbying for Madam Xie."

This sentence again!Hearing this calmly, he was a little bit angry, and he didn't listen to his words: "I don't understand, why don't you let our Yunfu marry Mr. Zhuang? Actually, this matter has no real impact on you at all, it's just a matter of face. It's just good-looking, so why do you care about it?"

Emperor Tianshou sneered: "I've always been very fussy." "Then you are not broad-minded enough as an emperor." Danxin began to speak out again, "Our Yun family fully supports you to become emperor, what have you got now? But It’s just four archways! You even lost Beixuan’s business because of this! We bowed our heads to you, but you have been alienated, isn’t this chilling?”

"If Mrs. Tai and Madam want to get involved in politics, they can bypass you and go directly to marriage. Although it is impossible to convince Mrs. Zhuang, His Royal Highness Yicheng's affection for our wife... as long as he comes out to protect the matchmaker, he will definitely be able to persuade her. Queen Mother Ye."

She pouted lightly, and continued, "Isn't it because we respect you? That's why I asked you to give me the marriage, and it's just to win glory for the son. Do you really think that if you don't ask for the marriage, our son will not be able to marry a wife?"

At this point in her words, the Emperor Tianshou had faint signs of anger, and his eyes were as menacing as raging lightning.

The indifferent heart is "breaking the pot and breaking the fall", with an appearance of loyalty: "Master Zhuang has one heart with you, and our Yun family also has one heart with you. The marriage of the two families will only make your throne more stable. Take ten thousand steps back, Even if the Yun family has some schemes, how can Mr. Zhuang still turn against us?"

Seeing that he still didn't make a statement, he deliberately prodded him again: "Do you think that since you and the eldest son are both the son-in-law of Mr. Zhuang, he won't help you? You don't even have that confidence?"

"A bunch of nonsense!" The Emperor Tianshou was really angry, and his sharp eyes swept towards Danxin. "That's enough." Danxin shrugged, "Madam Tai wants to marry Master Zhuang, but it's actually for the glory of the Yun family, and nothing else. For money? The Yun family is as rich as a country; for power? Yun Shi has been involved in politics for a long time, and he will not wait until today if he wants to become an official."

Dan Xin's words were extremely bold, with a hint of self-confidence.Emperor Tianshou's face became more and more gloomy: "You are a slave, what a big tone!"

"Your servant is just telling the truth." Danxin confessed a little bit sharply, "In fact, you also know in your heart that what this servant said is the truth. Privately, this servant thinks that you'd better agree to this marriage as soon as possible. , it will also strengthen your position, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" "Otherwise Mrs. Tai chose Miss Ye's family. Once the Yun family and the Ye family marry, the Zhuang family you rely on will definitely decline, and you will not be worth the loss." Excuse me, "The servant girl just collided with her words and told a lot of truth. I also ask the Holy One to forgive me."
