Concubine like a house

Chapter 141: Looking at the Flowers in the Fog, Unknown (2)
She asked herself that she was not someone who broke promises lightly, so she also refused to see Nie Peixiao.What's more, Nie Peixiao's shoulder injury must have recurred due to a violent storm last night, and she was recuperating on the couch, so why should she bother him again?
In fact, the climate of Yanlan City is warm and humid, with rainy seasons, which is not suitable for Nie Peixiao to live here for a long time.But why did he choose the fief here?Every time I think of the reason, Chuxiu sighs.

She might not be able to pay off this debt of love... With such emotion, Chuxiu went straight to see Emperor Tianshou.The latter happened to be free at this time, so he didn't let Xiu wait for too long.

When the two met, before Chuxiu could open his mouth, Emperor Tianshou took the lead and asked with a smile: "Madam, did you come here to be calm?"

Chuxiu had no choice but to reply truthfully: "Danxin still doesn't know what you mean... I haven't had time to mention it to her yet."

"I thought Madam was reluctant to enter the palace indifferently, so I came here to reject me."

"No, I came here for General Shen." Chuxiu didn't beat around the bush, and said frankly, "Last night...he was assassinated in Yunfu."

On the way here, Chuxiu thought of a lot of excuses, how to mention Shen Yu's injury?With Tian Shudi's suspicious character, if he doesn't have a convincing reason, he will definitely be suspicious.What's more, they would suspect that Yunfu was acting as a hindrance.

After all, the timing of Shen Yu's injury was too coincidental. Emperor Tianshou had just left Yun Mansion, and just before he left, he ordered Shen Yu to lead the army back to Beijing... Injured at this juncture, there is a suspicion of staying for an excuse.

It is a taboo to lead troops to stay for an excuse.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianshou was very vigilant after hearing this, and the phoenix's eyes immediately gathered light: "Assassinated?"

Chuxiu raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "He was stabbed and injured in my Zhiyan Xuan, and not long after you left." She purposely made the matter unclear, trying to create an illusion for Emperor Tianshou .

"Ma'am, you mean... Shen Yu was assassinated in Zhiyanxuan?" Emperor Tianshou confirmed again.

Chuxiu nodded, forced himself to restrain his guilty conscience, and his words seemed to point to something: "Moreover, the place where he was assassinated was outside Danxin's courtyard."

Emperor Tianshou's face darkened when he heard the words, and looked up and down at Xiuxiu with a scrutinizing gaze, as if to see whether her words were true or not.

Knowing that she must never tell the truth, she also made a cautious expression and continued: "Last night before you left, you asked for Danxin to enter the palace. In the past, Danxin served her husband for many years, The general is also an old acquaintance, so after hearing about this, General Shen and my concubine visited Danxin and wanted to tell her about it."

Chuxiu deliberately paused here, as if he was thinking about his words: "Who knows that Danxin has already turned off the lights and rested, and the concubine and General Shen didn't bother after seeing this. But just after she came out of her yard, there was a sudden heavy rain... At this moment, two men in black appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him..."

While talking out of Xiuxiu, he watched the expression of Emperor Tianshou, saw his face was frozen, and then said again: "You left suddenly last night... I would venture to guess that the person who made the surprise attack mistook General Shen for you..."

Chuxiu didn't continue to talk, but just clicked at the right time, and then took the initiative to plead guilty: "Perhaps the news of your coming to our mansion for a banquet has spread, so that someone with a heart can take the opportunity to enter... This is all a mistake of my concubine... "

Hearing the words, Emperor Tianshou only asked in a deep voice, "Have the assassin caught it?"

"Not yet." Chuxiu pretended to be frustrated, "When you visited Danxin last night, you said that you wanted her to 'sleep', so I specially ordered the nurses to avoid it... Besides, it rained too much last night , it's really not easy to hunt down..."

"It's not easy to hunt down?" Emperor Tianshou sneered with his hands behind his back, "It turns out that Yun's hidden guards are nothing more than that."

If Mrs. Tai heard these words, she must try to refute them; but Chuxiu chose to keep silent, and let the emperor go to see Qingyun and Yun's secret guards.

As expected, with Tianshoudi's vicious and suspicious nature, he really suspected that someone had leaked his whereabouts, and even more suspected that someone wanted to assassinate him...

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he said again, "Although General Shen was injured last night, luckily you are fine."

"I'm afraid that in Madam's heart, I would rather be stabbed and injured than let Shen Yu injure a finger." Emperor Tianshou said bluntly.

Chuxiu didn't expect him to be so sharp, and was quite embarrassed for a while: "How could it be? You're joking..."

"I hope it's just me joking." Emperor Tianshou sighed, "Jing Duo has been depressed recently, Madam might as well go and see him when you have nothing to do."

Wen Chuxiu felt even more embarrassed when he heard the words, so he had to laugh dryly again: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of my concubine... You know that there is absolutely no possibility of concubine being with His Highness Cheng Wang."

The voice fell, but the Emperor Tianshou didn't see him answering the words.Chuxiu couldn't help but look up, and saw that he was looking at the position behind him with a pair of phoenix eyes.Chuxiu turned around following his gaze, and at a glance she saw Nie Peixiao in purple standing at the threshold, her face was as sinking as water with bruises hidden, obviously she had heard what she just said.

This situation was beyond Chuxiu's expectation, which made her feel a little at a loss, and after a while, she saluted to Nie Peixiao: "I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

Nie Peixiao's complexion was extremely bad, and her lips were a little pale, but after all, she didn't express anything, she just stepped in and forced a smile: "I heard that the madam is here to see Brother Huang, so I'll come and have a look."

"It's a coincidence that you came here, and the concubine is planning to resign." Chu Xiu only smiled nonchalantly.

"Leave so soon?" Nie Peixiao couldn't hide her disappointment, and couldn't help but say something to persuade her to stay, "At any rate...let's go after lunch at the mansion."

At this moment, Chuxiu was only thinking about Shen Yu's injury, and she didn't want to give Nie Peixiao any thoughts, so she refused cruelly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, there are many general affairs in the house, and I should go first." Farewell to the Emperor Tianshou.

"Wait a minute, ma'am." But Ting Tianshoudi suddenly spoke again, his expression had returned to calm, and he asked slowly, "How is Shen Yu's injury?"

This time, Chuxiu did not lie again, and replied truthfully: "The dagger pierced, and the wound was at the heart. Fortunately, the wound is not deep and there is no danger of life... The doctor said that it needs to rest for a hundred days."

"Zifeng was injured?!" Nie Peixiao still didn't know the cause and effect, and suddenly heard the question from Emperor Tianshou, and immediately frowned and looked at Chuxiu: "How could he be injured?"

Chuxiu was worried that there would be too many mistakes, so he replied, "It's hard to explain this matter."

Seeing Chuxiu's expression of not wanting to say more, Nie Peixiao frowned and thought about it, so she tactfully changed the subject, and then asked Chuxiu: "You really don't want to stay for dinner?"

"No, accidents happened one after another in the mansion, and I don't have much appetite." Chuxiu glanced at Nie Peixiao again, thought for a while, and said cryptically, "Your Highness's complexion is not very good recently, you should rest more."

Nie Peixiao subconsciously put her hand on her right shoulder, pretending to smile back relaxedly: "Thank you Madam for your concern." He found out that Chuxiu began to call himself a "concubine" again, but because it was in front of the Emperor Tianshou, Nie Peixiao thought Chuxiu paid attention to etiquette, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Seeing that Nie Peixiao didn't insist on keeping him when he came out of Xiuxiu, he said goodbye and left.

It wasn't until she was far away that Emperor Tianshou glanced at Nie Peixiao: "You look very bad today."

Nie Peixiao was tormented by the shoulder injury for half the night, so she naturally looked down, coughed lightly and reluctantly replied: "Last night, the rain was so loud that I couldn't sleep all night."

"Mrs. Chuxiu just arrived, and you arrived on the back foot. It seems that you are still quite energetic."

Nie Peixiao was used to being teased by Emperor Tianshou, so she didn't feel embarrassed, so she turned to ask the topic just now: "What are you doing here? How could Shen Yu be injured? He was fine at the Yunfu banquet last night. "

Emperor Tianshou didn't answer, and asked a question in a deep voice: "If you were an assassin, what weapon would you choose to kill me?"

Nie Peixiao was confused by the question, but she still thought about it for a moment and replied, "Naturally, it's a sword, or a concealed weapon."

"Why?" The Heavenly Granted Emperor asked again.

"The sword is long enough, and you don't need to get close when stabbing, it can kill you with one sword; the concealed weapon is light and easy to carry, and it's easy to get it as long as you look for it." Nie Peixiao thought for a while, and added, "Of course, if you want to Putting people to death, this sword or hidden weapon should also be poisoned."

This view was almost the same as what Emperor Tianshou thought, and he couldn't help showing a somewhat unpredictable smile: "You are right, an assassination at night must choose a good weapon, especially a regicide."

Nie Peixiao didn't understand, so she said, "Didn't Shen Yu get injured? How did this matter have anything to do with 'King Killing'?"

"Madam Chuxiu said just now that an assassin took Shen Yu as me last night and stabbed him in Yunfu. The assassin used a dagger, but he was not able to kill him in the middle of the room. Do you believe it?" Emperor Tianshou Fengmu glanced at Nie Peixiao.

The latter was surprised and understood what Emperor Tianshou was doubting, so he analyzed objectively: "It is not wise to stab with a dagger. A dagger cannot be fatal in one move unless it is inserted into the throat or heart. Besides, to stab with a dagger requires close combat. The risk is too great."

"You're right." Emperor Tianshou continued to analyze, "Especially, the dagger had been inserted into Shen Yu's heart, but it failed to kill him. It can be seen that the dagger was not poisoned, and the assassin was not vicious enough... It stands to reason that if there is really someone If the assassin wants to kill me, there is no way he will be merciful."

Nie Peixiao seemed to have realized something: "Then brother Huang means..."

"There is something strange about Shen Yu's injury." The Emperor Tian Shu showed a hint of sternness on his face, "Either the assassins were too stupid; or Shen Yu's injury was not caused by the assassins; or someone deliberately confused the public..."

Emperor Tianshou looked at Nie Peixiao, and seemed to come to a conclusion: "If my guess is correct, Mrs. Chuxiu lied."

"Are you saying that Shen Yu pretended to be injured, or..."

"It's true that Shen Yu was injured, but there must be something else hidden about this matter." Emperor Tianshou said firmly, "Chuxiu is a woman after all, and she knows too little about beatings and killings. If there are real regicide assassins, unless they are close people Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to stab with a dagger; but if someone close to me, how could he recognize me by mistake? Moreover, Shen Yu has not been killed by stabbing the heart. "

After hearing this analysis, Nie Peixiao couldn't help frowning, trying to defend Chuxiu: "Maybe... there is some misunderstanding in this?"

The emperor's lips curled slightly: "Is there any misunderstanding? The Yun family is just playing a few tricks, and I will accompany you to the end."

Nie Peixiao saw that he seemed to have moved for real, and quickly mediated again: "Maybe we are all overcomplicating things, Shen Yu will never hurt himself; there is no need to lie to you in Chuxiu...Maybe, I really met an assassin gone?"

"Take it as it is." Emperor Tianshou obviously disdainful, and said again, "Go and pass on my oral order. Shen Yu is injured and will not leave for Beijing for the time being. I will allow him to rest here for two months, and then escort Danxin together." Go to Beijing."

"Who will lead the Pingjiang army?" Nie Peixiao asked again, after all, it was his army, and this army has been stationed in the west of Yanlan City, and has not had a chance to reward it for its merits.

"Naturally, you led the army back to Beijing to return to your mission." The Heavenly Granted Emperor raised his eyebrows, looking even more evil and charming, "Why, can't you let go of Mrs. Xiu?"

"That can't miss the important military plan. They are still waiting to be awarded and rewarded!" Nie Peixiao agreed, "This is equivalent to changing jobs with Shen Yu. I will lead the troops back to life, and he will escort Danxin."

At this point, Nie Peixiao suddenly thought of this person again.According to his understanding, Emperor Tianshou had a different view of Danxin.But how different is this "different"?Do you regard Dan Xin as the shadow of Luan Su, or...

"Brother Huang, you to that maid..."

"Why?" Emperor Tianshou glanced at him, "Say something straight."

"Have you taken a fancy to her?" Nie Peixiao finally asked.

"She just entered the palace as a female official, and she was released at the age of 25." Emperor Tianshou interrupted Nie Peixiao's thoughts, and replied casually, "I also want to see how capable the Yun family is. The news from the palace will not be passed on.”

"It turns out that you are still afraid of the Yun family." Nie Peixiao knew that Emperor Tianshou had no intention of being indifferent, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I thought you were really interested in her."

Care?Emperor Tianshou seemed to understand these two words: "What is 'shangxin'? Being 'scared' to her does not mean that he is 'attracted' to her." Emperor Tianshou denied it in a deep voice, suddenly feeling very unhappy, I no longer have the desire to talk to Nie Peixiao, "Let's go back to Beijing in the future, pack up quickly, don't let the army delay the trip."

After giving these instructions, Emperor Tianshou left Nie Peixiao in the house and left.
