Chapter 77
"what did you just say?"

Han Wanxin's gaze became sharp all of a sudden, and she looked straight at Xiao He, as if trying to discern the truth from what she said.

"Don't you know about this?" Xiao He pretended to be unintentional and said, "Oh, it's all because of my servant's talkativeness! It's all because of my servant's talkativeness! Then...it's getting late, so my servant's going back first!"

Saluting Han Wanxin again, Xiao He left the palace in a panic.When she was going out, she looked at her eldest grandson Jingrong meaningfully, with a mocking smile in her eyes.

"What she just said is true?" As soon as Xiao He left, Han Wanxin asked impatiently, "Didn't you go to get something, why did you turn into playing chess with the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, at that time, I was waiting for Xiao He to deliver the things. I saw the Emperor leaving from Concubine Fang. After paying my respects, I thought it was all right. But I didn't want the Emperor to show off his chess skills, and wanted to find someone to compete with. I was able to play two games with the emperor."

Looking at the eldest grandson Jingrong warily, Han Wanxin questioned: "How did the emperor know that you can play chess, but you recommended yourself?"

"The lower official never said that, and I reminded the emperor, and came back in a hurry to reply to the empress. But the emperor issued an order, and the lower official had to obey." Gritting his teeth, the eldest grandson Jingrong knelt down in front of Han Wanxin, and said "Your Majesty, don't you think it's strange that in such a late night, Concubine Fang Guifei ordered her servants to come over, and met the Emperor while she was waiting for the next official. The servants told the truth to the Empress, and they were playing chess with the Emperor, but if they had ulterior motives and deliberately Spreading some gossip, who is the most unfavorable, and who is the most beneficial? Today's things are very weird, I hope that the empress will think twice, don't be used by others!"

After listening to the eldest grandson Jingrong's words, Han Wanxin was silent for a long time. When the eldest grandson Jingrong thought she had fallen asleep, Han Wanxin stretched out her hand, helped her eldest grandson Jingrong up, and said with a faint smile, "How can I not know this?" Is it Fang Guifei's treachery? She likes to create something out of nothing, I am no longer the ignorant woman she was back then, how could she be fooled by this little trick?"

Following Han Wanxin's movements, Changsun Jingrong stood up slowly, looked into the other's eyes, but found a gloomy look in them.Lowering his eyes lightly, Changsun Jingrong said: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in wisdom and will not fall into a trap. In this way, the lower officials can rest assured. Your Majesty will have to get up early tomorrow, so let's rest now."

"Okay, you can go back too. Tomorrow's affairs, and you have to worry about it."

Bowing to Han Wanxin again, Changsun Jingrong turned around and left silently.When he left the gate of the sleeping hall, Changsun Jingrong leaned on the long pillar and sighed softly.

Concubine Fang Gui's scheme still worked, and Han Wanxin was already on guard against herself.It seems that it is still very difficult to do what you want in your heart...

In order to avoid suspicion, on the way to Phoenix Mountain, Changsun Jingrong kept close by Han Wanxin's side, even when eating, she never left her, lest the woman lose sight of her and think wildly, and make up some crimes .

After arriving at Phoenix Mountain, members of the royal family and court officials went to the top of Phoenix Mountain to offer sacrifices. As a low-level female official, Changsun Jingrong could only stay halfway up the mountain, waiting for a large number of teams to return.

But in this short half day, Changsun Jingrong had a rare relaxation. She leaned on a tree trunk, played with a leaf, and looked at the sunlight through the veins on the leaf.

"You really know how to be lazy!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Changsun Jingrong knew that his rest time was over.

Standing up slowly, Changsun Jingrong looked at Sima Xukong opposite, and asked, "Is it over? It's faster than expected."

Three steps at a time, Sima Xu approached Changsun Jingrong cozily, and instead of answering her question, he asked, "How did you take care of yourself, and let such rumors spread in the palace!"

Although Sima Xukong didn't clarify what it was, Changsun Jingrong already knew what he meant, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the speed of rumors spreading is really fast.

Kicking the stones under his feet, Changsun Jingrong said: "Someone wants to frame me, and I can't help it. Now I can only use soldiers to cover up the water and cover it with soil."

"Who said you can't do anything, you can come to me!" Sima Xukong looked eagerly at Changsun Jingrong, and said, "I said, as long as you are in trouble, you can come to me, and I will help you." fixed."

"Then tell me, what should we do in this crisis?" Changsun Jingrong didn't take a serious attitude at all, but relaxed as if joking, and analyzed, "Obviously, someone wants the queen to stay away from me, so that I can Cutting off the empress's left and right arms will make it much easier to deal with the empress. If the empress loses power, I, as her female officer, will definitely bring disaster to Chi Yu. According to my observation, for some reason, the emperor I seem to be a little interested. The Ninth Prince is resourceful, can you tell me how to pass such a complicated situation?"

Taking a deep breath, Sima Xukong said, "How can you be sure that the emperor is also interested in you?"

"Lord Ninth, can you please listen to the main points!" Grandma Changsun Jingrong said with temper, "Now I have to find a way, how to let Empress Empress clear up her misunderstanding of me. As for the rest, it's for later."

"But I don't think so!" Sima Xukong's eyes seemed to be bloodshot, revealing a trace of haggardness, and said, "The real danger is the emperor! If the emperor starts to be interested in you, then it won't be long before you It will become his possession, and then you will never be able to leave this palace again!"

"It's not that exaggerated," Changsun Jingrong raised his arms and said, "I'm just a commoner, and the emperor treats me differently. There must be a large part of the reason, and it's also because of you. As long as the Ninth Prince can stay away from me, I'm sure It will be better than it is now!"

"Fool, without me, you would not be able to stay in the palace any longer. How could you be as comfortable and comfortable as you are now?" Sima Xukong rubbed his head in frustration, and said, "You don't really think that this cold palace In your palace, there will be people who are kind to you everywhere. In order to take care of you, I have to use a lot of connections to protect you. You are a heartless little thing, now you live a comfortable life, but you despise me. White-eyed wolf!"

"But have you ever thought about it, without you, I would only encounter a little trouble, but now, it is a more dangerous situation. Does Ninth Prince really think this is good for me?"

"I just want to protect the woman I love so much with my own hands, what's wrong with that!"

A gust of breeze blew gently, blowing the long hair of Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong, and slowly overlapping them in mid-air.Except for the rustling sound when the wind blows the leaves, there is a dead silence around.

Blinking, Changsun Jingrong suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "The Ninth Prince is really affectionate. It's just that you seem to use the wrong place, I don't need it!"

"You..." Sima Xukong didn't expect that she would scoff at him for showing his true feelings, which is really annoying.But now that the situation is urgent, he really has no time to argue with this girl, so he said anxiously: "Now that the matter is over, I am the only one who can give you peace of mind. Anyway, they have misunderstood the relationship between you and me. Just continue to misunderstand. If you really don't like me, that's okay, we can cooperate with each other, and when you get out of here safely and out of danger, I won't care where you want to go, isn't that okay? "

Sima Xukong's almost pleading tone made Changsun Jingrong a little startled, but more, he was flustered and helpless.She didn't want to owe favors to others, especially Sima Xukong, so she immediately rejected the proposal, saying: "This method is only a temporary solution, not the root cause, and it will be even more difficult to deal with later. I appreciate the kindness of the prince."

Seeing that grandson Jingrong was about to leave, Sima Xukong hurriedly stepped forward to hold her wrist, and said anxiously: "You woman is so stubborn, sometimes I really want to open your brain to see if there are a bunch of stones in it In this situation, how can I give you a chance to think about it? I just sneaked down the mountain to tell you when I heard the emperor asked the supervisor of ceremonies about accepting a concubine this year, and the eyeliner just happened to report this matter to me. Don't be in a hurry when you should be in a hurry, it's a matter of your life, don't you want to be stubborn?"

His mind sank, Changsun Jingrong looked straight at Sima Xukong and asked, "Are you serious about what you said?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you!" Sima Xukong said anxiously, "I know the emperor's temperament best. If he is serious about something, even if there are nine cows, he won't be able to pull him back. Listen to me obediently now." Arrange, I will help you leave the palace! Jingrong, listen, now is not the time to be brave, if you make a wrong step, your youth and your life will be ruined in this palace!"

Changsun Jingrong pursed his lips, looking at the fallen leaves under his feet, his mind kept turning.

Sima Xukong's hearing was superb, and when he heard more and more people approaching in the distance, he immediately held Changsun Jingrong's shoulder, looked at her sincerely, and said: "They are back, I have to go first Yes. You have to keep in mind what I said, and... protect yourself. "

Gently nodding his head, Changsun Jingrong raised his head to look at Sima Xukong again, his eyes became firmer, and he said, "Don't worry, it's about my freedom and future, and I definitely won't take it as a joke."

In the leisurely breath, Sima Xukong looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong almost greedily. Knowing that the situation is dangerous now, there is still a desire in his heart that is about to move, and finally breaks out of the ground, unable to extricate himself.Almost instinctively, Sima Xu took a step forward and held his eldest grandson Jingrong in his arms.

Almost in a blink of an eye, Changsun Jingrong felt a blur in front of her eyes, and then fell into a warm embrace, with a touch of softness on her lips. When she regained consciousness again, the instigator had already pulled away and left.

Changsun Jingrong was stunned at first, then wiped his lips fiercely a few times, and said angrily to Sima Xukong's back: "You bastard!"

Although he was reprimanded, Sima Xukong showed a bright smile, turned his back to his eldest grandson Jingrong, and waved.

"Dare to take advantage of me, I will definitely make you look good next time!!" Clenching his fists, Changsun Jingrong blushed, turned and left angrily.However, as soon as Changsun Jingrong walked halfway up the mountain, he saw a large group of people descending from the mountain, so he hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and walked out of the welcoming pavilion with all the servants, waiting for their masters.

Looking at Han Wanxin from a distance, although the eldest grandson Jingrong couldn't tell her face clearly, she always felt a strange atmosphere enveloped her body.When they got closer, Changsun Jingrong went up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the empress has worked hard."

Unexpectedly, Han Wanxin didn't seem to have seen her eldest grandson Jingrong, and lightly brushed past her with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Jingrong stopped an acquainted eunuch, and asked in a low voice: "What happened up there just now, what happened to my mother?"

The eunuch had a strange expression on his face, blinked his eyes, Gu Youyou said hesitantly: "This... I don't know. Or, you can ask someone else."

The little eunuch's evasive expression made Changsun Jingrong's uneasiness even deeper, and wondered to himself, is everything really as Sima Xukong said?The empress knew that the emperor wanted to confer herself, and thought that she had betrayed her, that's why she was so cold as ice?If it is true, then I am really under attack now.

According to common sense, the brigade will have a short rest here, and then all go down the mountain and return to the palace.At this moment, Han Wanxin stayed in her big tent with an angry face.

Lifting the curtain, the eldest grandson Jingrong took a deep breath, and then went straight to Han Wanxin, before he could say anything, he knelt in front of Han Wanxin and said loudly, "Please give me a death sentence!"

Han Wanxin didn't want to see her eldest grandson Jingrong at first, but now she couldn't help being surprised when she heard her say that.Looking up and down at the eldest grandson Jingrong, Han Wanxin asked with a black face: "Okay, why are you begging to die?"

"Because the lower official heard the rumor that the emperor..." Biting his lower lip, Changsun Jing looked shy, and then lowered his body even lower, and said, "Your Majesty, the lower official already has someone he likes, and I don't want to I have lost my lovesickness. If I can't die with her in this life, it will be futile to live!"

Seeing the serious look on Changsun Jingrong's face, Han Wanxin couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked, "The lovesick person you're talking about is the Ninth Prince?"

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong nodded shyly and timidly.

Originally, when Han Wanxin knew that the emperor was going to confer the title of eldest grandson Jingrong, she was very angry in her heart, and felt that she had finally cultivated a confidant, but she was still a picky one.But now, after listening to her grandson Jingrong's complaints, she felt that things were not as simple as she imagined.Leaving aside how the eldest grandson Jingrong got the news, just looking at her current statement, Han Wanxin knew that this woman probably had no intention of staying in the palace as a concubine.But she didn't want to, but it didn't mean that the emperor had no choice. Even if Changsun Jingrong was trapped by love at the moment and didn't want to be a concubine, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't change her mind after seeing Ronghua.Relying on the mentality of the eldest grandson Jingrong, if she becomes his opponent, the situation will be extremely dangerous!

Squeezing her hands, Han Wanxin softened her voice, and said tentatively: "Although the Ninth Prince is a passionate person, but in order not to be too sentimental, there are countless women who have had relationships with him. Are you sure to marry him?" , can you be happy?"

"The lower officials don't care what happened to the Ninth Prince before. After all, no one can be sure about the truth. But now, the lower officials know that he is very good to the lower officials. Those who can be entrusted for life will play in the world."

Listening to the elder grandson Jingrong's words carefully, Han Wanxin frowned, and said distressedly: "Oh, this is not easy to handle, just now the emperor asked me about your situation, it seems that you will be given to me soon. You are titled. Jingrong, although you are my female official, since we met, I have always admired you and cultivated you with all my strength. As a concubine, it is the dream of many women in the world. Enjoying glory and wealth can also revitalize the family. Are you really not bothered at all?"

"Being the emperor's woman is indeed very honorable, but that's not what Jingrong wants." The eldest grandson Jingrong looked up at Han Wanxin, and said sincerely, "Your official is not afraid of hardship, as long as you live a happy and free life! When Xiaguan was a child, he had witnessed open and covert fights between women, presumably in the harem, such fights were numerous and even more tragic. Xiaguan just wanted to live a peaceful life and did not want conspiracy to occupy his life. If you want to live like that, you might as well die!"

The smile on the corner of her mouth gradually widened, and Han Wanxin walked up to the eldest grandson Jingrong, stretched out her hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to, just tell me directly, why do you have to die? You are a female officer now If you say it, you will be laughed at."

Seeing Han Wanxin's change of attitude, Changsun Jingrong's anxious heart finally felt at ease for a moment.Following Han Wanxin's movements, the eldest grandson Jingrong stood up slowly, looked at the woman opposite and said, "I'm used to being an official, and I'm not as smart as you, my mother. You have a complicated family relationship. Those who have no background A woman is like a duckweed in the harem, she will float away at any time, and she will never find her way home. If your empress loves Jingrong, let her be free!"

Han Wanxin revealed a distressed expression, and said, "But the real decision is made by the emperor. Even if I want to help you, there is nothing I can do."

"But the affairs of the harem are entirely up to the empress." Changsun Jingrong looked straight at Han Wanxin and said, "If the empress can bestow the rank and file on the Ninth Prince before the emperor issued an edict, then even the emperor can't do it." Intervene."

"It doesn't seem worthwhile to offend the emperor for you."

The eldest grandson Jingrong looked at Han Wanxin, thinking that Han Wanxin is really smart, and now her skills are getting better and better, and she knows that retreat is the only way to advance.But her small thoughts were all written on her face, and she was still pretending to be old-fashioned, which made people want to laugh secretly.

Resisting that smile, the eldest grandson Jingrong said: "If the empress can help Jingrong out of the predicament, Jingrong will be the empress' backing. Whenever you need it, Jingrong will stand behind you and support you unconditionally." !"

"The emperor is afraid of the Ninth Prince, and if you get close to you, it won't do me any good."
