Chapter 84
Ning Yuxi looked to be about the same age as Gao Chen, with a handsome appearance and a decent air, but she had a completely opposite warm aura.Those eyes are naturally a little curved, even when he is not smiling, he looks like he is smiling, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Yes." He bowed and replied: "I think the matter of the princess of the four counties is not easy."

"Oh? You said."

Ning Yuxi analyzed: "Think about the king of the four counties, those who dare to hijack the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo must not be robbing wealth and sex. Ordinary people don't have that much courage. Not to mention too much, naturally it is aimed at the princess of the four counties and the princess. The kings of the four counties, but why has there been no news after so long? I'm afraid...an even bigger conspiracy is brewing."

This idea coincides with some vague thoughts of Gao Chen.

"The king of the four counties!" Outside the yard, Chu Qi quickly ran over, panting, "I have something important to report." After the master gave permission, he came in and closed the door, then whispered a few words quickly in his ear.

Gao Chen's eyes jumped, and then the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his heart was not so flustered.He waved his hand to let the boy back down, and then looked at Ning Yuxi, "Things have changed, come on, let's sit down and talk about it."

The two chased away the servants, closed the door, and did not open the door for most of the day.

—No one knows what was secretly discussed.

However, after that, the search for Xianhui was not smooth. One day, two days... ten days passed, and there was still no news, as if the world had evaporated.

Because of the strong demon wind in the capital recently, although those feudal lords didn't know that Xianhui was missing, King Yan was still waiting for the verdict in the clan's mansion, and Gao Chen's injury was not healed, so after participating in the royal hunting, they all went to the court. The emperor bid farewell and left the capital early.

It's not that they all don't want to compete for the crown prince, but most of them are holding a wait-and-see attitude, thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, hoping that Gao Chen and King Yan will win or lose, and it is best to hurt both, and then take advantage of the fisherman's profit.At that time, it will definitely be much better than wading through the muddy water when the situation is unknown now, let alone being accidentally injured by the Mei family and the Wu family, so they all slipped away.

"The king of the four counties." The staff of Prince Qing's mansion were a little impatient, "What's going on? No one is alive, no corpse is seen, and no one is seen doing anything. Since those people hijacked the princess of the four counties, there must be a conspiracy That's right."

"Don't worry." Gao Chen waved his hand, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, "The vassal kings were all in the capital before, and the whole capital was under martial law inside and outside, so the black hands behind the scenes must have scruples and it's inconvenient to act. Now the vassal kings As soon as we leave, the court's vigilance will naturally be relaxed, I'm afraid... the evil wind is about to start."

Ning Yuxi also said: "Yes, the storm is about to begin."

The other staff members did not believe his words.In particular, an elderly staff member was embarrassed to say that Gao Chen was too nervous, so he said contemptuously to him: "The concubine of the four counties is missing, let's send someone to look for it. Even if there is any conspiracy in it, it will be with the vassals." It has nothing to do with staying or staying."

Ning Yuxi has always been gentle and polite, she bowed her body, smiled and did not refute.

The old aides flicked their sleeves, "The king of the four counties, so many days have passed, and there is still no news from the princess of the four counties. It is estimated that it will be difficult to die well. You must be mentally prepared early, and you must not be confused." Pointing Pointing to the Clan Mansion, "After all, the matter of King Yan is the most important matter. I heard that the verdict will be announced in the next few days."

What is the matter of King Yan more important?A trace of anger flashed in Gao Chen's heart, he listened impatiently, and waved his hands: "I understand what you mean, let's all go down."

Several old aides were dissatisfied and left, Ning Yuxi refused to leave, and pretended not to see even being stared at twice.

The old staff member at the front shook his sleeve angrily, and said, "I've never seen such a thick-skinned person!" The other people also showed dissatisfaction on their faces, and they all followed, and the accusations gradually went away.

"In six days, it will be sixteen." Gao Chen said suddenly.

Ning Yuxi smiled, "That's right, it's the queen's birthday celebration."

October 45 is Empress Wu's [-]th birthday, which is considered a small birthday.

The concubines came early to congratulate, and Mrs. Mei also came.

Although she has been relegated to her position, recently she has regained some favor after trying to curry favor with the emperor, and the emperor still spends more time in her Yucui Palace.This made the concubines itch their teeth with hatred. They wanted to punish Mei Guiren, but they were also worried that she would return, so they didn't dare to act rashly right now, and the situation was calm for the time being.

At least on today's day of great joy, no concubine would dare to make trouble. Offending Mrs. Mei may be fine, but if the queen's birthday is disturbed, it will be a big trouble.

Today, Mrs. Mei is dressed in beautiful attire, except for the lack of a few phoenix hairpins on her head according to her status, she doesn't show any signs of decadence at all, on the contrary she looks quite bright.Everyone was puzzled, they only thought that she was trying to show her strength to show off, and she was desperate to save face.

Empress Wu felt uneasy in her eyes. Xian Hui had been missing for half a month and had not been found.

I have a bad premonition in my heart, I'm afraid something will happen today.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Mei Gui came over gracefully, with a smile like a flower, "Oh, today is the queen's birthday, why don't the four princesses come over? It's a waste of the queen's love for her so much on weekdays, and treat her as her own Treat her like a niece, so... it's too unreasonable."

Empress Wu's heart sank immediately.

Mrs. Zhen Guo hurriedly said: "Xianhui was frightened earlier, she is not feeling well, and she is still recuperating in the mansion."

"Really?" Mei Guiren covered his face with a smile and said, "The concubines of the four counties should enter the palace even more. When the banquet is over, just let the imperial doctors take a look. Maybe it will be fine." Passed a letter to the palace man With a wink, "Go to Zhen Guogong's mansion quickly, and invite the princesses of the four counties to come in and have a good time."

"Mei Guiren!" Before Empress Wu could stop her, the servant of Yucui Palace had already run out, and said angrily, "What do you mean?!"

Mei Guiren raised the corners of her lips, "Concubine means to care about the princesses of the four counties."

Empress Wu was furious, but it was too late to stop her now.I just hope that the people from the Wu family will find an excuse not to let him pick him up, and cover up the matter to the past,——Mei Guiren's people will not dare to force their way into the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange, all the concubines looked at each other, each of them was cautious in their words and deeds, and no one wanted to disturb this muddy water.joke!One is the empress, and the other is the favored concubine who has been degraded and still favored. The evil wind hanging up is enough to kill the people who run the house.

Mei Guiren was talking leisurely, "Speaking of which, although I have a little misunderstanding with the princess of the four counties, I still like her quite a lot." I like her so much I can't wait to let her die, "We will meet later, and let the previous misunderstanding Just make it clear."

Empress Wu kept pulling her heartstrings, without saying a word.

"Come on." Mei Guiren greeted again: "Sisters, let's eat and talk first." She had an expression of waiting for a good show, quite complacent, and glanced at the queen from time to time, smiling even more frivolously.

Not long after, some palace servants ran over in panic to deliver a message.

The smile in Mei Guiren's eyes was even stronger, she couldn't find Shao Xianhui, could she?If you can't find it, that's right.

"Report to all the empresses." The palace man stood far away at the door, not daring to come in, "The princesses of the four counties have arrived."

"What?!" Mei Guiren suddenly changed color, "This is impossible!"

Empress Wu was both surprised and delighted, oh my god, she couldn't have found Xianhui by such a coincidence, could she?No, no, everyone is here, it must be true!That's great.

"I have seen the empress, all the nobles." A young and beautiful woman entered the hall, bowed gracefully, her voice was as clear and melodious as an oriole coming out of the valley, "I am very polite."

Mei Guiren's eyes widened in disbelief, she stepped forward to take a closer look, "You... it's really you?!"

Everyone in the hall looked over.

The young woman wore a simple ponytail, a standard beauty with an oval face, her long eyebrows plunging into her temples, and her skin was as radiant as snow. As soon as she entered the door, it lit up the entire hall as if spring had returned to the world.That special color shines on people, and those clear eyes that look like a clear spring water are so shockingly beautiful that they are enough to make people feel ashamed.

All the concubines are silently thankful in their hearts, fortunately this is only the princess of the county, not the imperial concubine.

"That's impossible!" Mei Guiren couldn't help but took a step back, "How could it be you? You weren't..." Suddenly, the anti-corner slipped and he stopped quickly.

Xianhui sneered inwardly, and asked intentionally, "What's the matter? You seem to be very reluctant to see me."

Mrs. Mei Gui was still unwilling to reconcile, and ordered the palace servants viciously, "Where is that man? Bring him up quickly!"

No, it's impossible!The woman in front of me must not be Shao Xianhui!It was Gao Chen who found him, but he looked like him, or he was wearing a human skin mask or something.That's right, King Yan can find someone like her, and Gao Chen will definitely find one too. When the real Shao Xianhui is brought over, everything will be exposed!

Soon, a young woman was ushered in.

"Who is this person?!" Mei Guiren's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of her in disbelief.

Xianhui was surprised and said, "Ah, Jin Ye, why are you here?" Then she asked Mei Guiren, "My lord, I haven't come back after going out for several days, and I couldn't find her. I thought she ran away by herself. What's going on?" ? Why is it in Yucui Palace?"

Mei Guiren also wanted to ask what happened? !The family agreed that Shao Xianhui had been captured and had been hiding in Zhuangzi, how could she become her girl?not good!It must be when the carriage accident happened, this bitch and the girl exchanged bags!

Oops, Oops!The woman who sang the song before was found by King Yan, and this time the matter was kept secret, and no one who had seen Shao Xianhui was sent there, and they didn't even realize that it was a fake.

"Xianhui." Empress Wu was full of joy, but she couldn't say much in front of others, and pulled her, "Before you and Madam Zhen Guo's carriage were frightened, and after so many days of illness, they are finally cured. I was worried about you just now, afraid that you would not be able to come today because of your weak health."

——Deliberately explained to the concubines.

"I'm fine, thank you Empress for your concern." Xianhui knew that the empress was lying, but she still had to follow her words, "These days, my stepmother has taken good care of me." Then she looked at Mrs. Mei Gui, " My lord, you haven't said yet, why is my girl with you?"

Mei Guiren clenched her palms with hatred, her eyes gleamed like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, but she gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Oh, my elder brother met a girl on the road this morning, and she said she was your maid, so I gave it to you." I came to the palace. That's why I thought of letting you enter the palace for a banquet, and then just take your girl back."

Those present, as long as they are not fools, can tell that this is a lie.

Not to mention, how did the people from the Mei family meet the girl?And why such a coincidence?It is impossible to send the girl of the princess of the four counties back just because the Mei family has enmity with Empress Wu, the king of the four counties and others.Besides, if you want to send a girl, you should also send it directly to Prince Qing's mansion, and send it to the palace for a while, what's the purpose?The water here is deep.

Xianhui smiled, "Is that so?" She asked in a drawn-out tone, "That's good, thank you, Mrs. Mei."

He knew in his heart that in the current situation, even if he questioned Mei Guiren, he couldn't do anything to her.If you intentionally cause trouble at the queen's birthday banquet, it will only appear that you don't care about the seriousness.But he didn't intend to just let Mei Guiren go, and asked Jin Ye on purpose, "What's going on? Did you really get met by the Mei family?"

Jin Ye showed a look of hesitation, then shook her head in fear, "Princess of the four counties, don't ask." She gave Mei Gui a timid look, as if frightened, "Slave, servant, what are you talking about?" Do not know at all."

Mei Guiren let out a cold snort, and threatened: "As a servant, it's better to know less!"

"Really?" Xianhui answered leisurely: "It seems that there are some things that Jin Ye is too scared to say. Forget it, today is the empress's birthday, so even if I feel wronged, I have to endure it. We can only investigate this matter later, and get to the bottom of it.”

Mei Guixin sneered, turning around?If you can't survive today, how can you turn back?The corners of the mouth are slightly curled up without speaking.

Empress Wu accepted Xian Hui's words and said with a smile, "You are a good and sensible girl."

The two of them sang in unison, coupled with Jin Ye's hesitation, all the concubines present knew it well, Mrs. Mei probably had a conspiracy a long time ago, but it just didn't succeed.Speaking of which, every time Mei Guiren meets the concubines of the four counties, he always suffers in the end, she really deserves it!
Now the banquet is about to start, Xianhui didn't say any more, and sat down next to Mrs. Zhen Guo.

I was worried in my heart, according to Mei Guiren's temperament, it shouldn't be like this?She was deflated today, and she became so quiet and did not refute.As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.Her temper can't be changed, I'm afraid...don't there be any conspiracy waiting behind her.

Mei Guiren's face was sullen, and his complexion was extremely ugly.

Originally thinking that there was no way for the queen to hand over someone, I pretended that the Mei family had found Shao Xianhui, and then ruined her reputation in front of everyone and humiliated Gao Chen. It turned out to be a big oolong!My teeth itch with hatred in my heart, why is it so unlucky to meet that bitch this time? !
No, this is not the highlight of today!The big game is yet to come.

Thinking of this, Mei Guiren's expression gradually softened.

Winner and loser!After today, I will slowly settle accounts with them!
