Chapter 62 Empress Zhang Visits!
Chapter 62 Queen Zhang comes to visit!
Xu Boqing recounted what happened to Jianyang a year ago when he encountered banditry. Because he had escaped on a starry night, he had not seen the appearance of the bandits. The only clues he gave were the time, location, and the Xu family in Jianyang...
When he was robbed by thieves on the way to Beijing, the original owner was there to witness their murder, so he drew several portraits of the thieves based on the original owner's memory and explained...
check!!
Although Daliang has a vast territory and the clues he gave are few and far between, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a mature information system, and their influence extends far beyond Kyoto!!
With money to pave the way and the 'position of governor' hanging in the balance, the team members of the West Factory are naturally very motivated.
After receiving the order, they didn’t even need to mention it. They moved their joints one after another, or investigated the files to find the corresponding information, or mobilized their spies to secretly explore...
Just like a precision machine, as instructions are given, a certain gear starts to rotate, and other gears also rotate accordingly...
Xu Boqing saw that the people below had dispersed and the sky was getting dark, so he returned to Cining Palace...
When the old eunuch at the door saw him coming back, his eyes lit up, he walked over with small steps, and whispered: "Manager, the Queen of Kunning Palace is here to visit."
"The Queen?"
Xu Boqing paused after hearing this and stopped in front of the Cining Palace. He glanced at the location of the Queen Mother's palace and asked inexplicably: "Why did the Queen come to our Cining Palace this late at night?"
"I don't know..."
The old eunuch who was guarding the door shook his head, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and whispered: "This afternoon, Concubine Liu from Yongning Palace also came to visit the empress, and asked me to bring you a message before leaving."
"Concubine Liu Guifei has been here too?"
Xu Boqing was surprised and asked: "What did she ask you to bring?"
The old eunuch grinned and said meaningfully: "Concubine Liu said that your majesty rewarded you with a piece of jade, which is very exquisite. I heard that Mr. Xu is an expert in this art, so I wanted to invite you to appreciate it."
"..."
Xu Boqing nodded silently.
Things like appreciating jade and giving jewelry to the Queen Mother were all code words set by Concubine Liu and him before.
He thought about it carefully and found that he had never been to Yongning Palace since Manager Huang passed away. Although Concubine Liu had visited many times, she had not tasted the 'sweetness'...
Come to think of it, come to think of it...
And now that Queen Zhang is still in Cining Palace, it is not easy for her to go to the Queen Mother's palace. Besides, she will leave Beijing in a few days, so it is reasonable to comfort Concubine Liu...
"Since Concubine Liu Guifei invites you..."
He pondered for a while, nodded and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I'll go to Concubine Liu in Yongning Palace to appreciate the jade. If the Queen Mother asks about it, just report it truthfully."
"It's for the villain..."
In Yongning Palace…
Concubine Liu sat in front of the dressing table and rested her chin in her hands, dazed.
Empress Zhang came to visit at noon. During the chat, she happened to talk about interesting things on the martial arts field. When she heard that Xu Boqing came to show his sage and subdued more than a dozen martial arts masters with his "Flying Dragon in the Sky", she was annoyed and resentful.
I was annoyed that I was not there and could not see the majestic appearance of the little thief;
The complaint was that the little thief was so ruthless that he had not visited Mr. Huang for several months since his death, which only made people panic.
But thinking about all the things before, especially when I was playing in the bath, I felt sweet to my heart. Not to mention my body, my heart was itching unbearably...
After Empress Zhang left, she couldn't wait to go to Cining Palace, but she rushed there and saw no one.
After making peace with my sister and crying, she asked someone to send a message to the little thief, and then she returned to the palace in despair and waited.
This wait lasted all afternoon...
Concubine Liu glanced at the sky outside the window and saw the stars and moon hanging in the night sky. She thought to herself that the little thief would never come again.
She sighed resentfully, took off her hairpin, took off her fine clothes, and took off her middle coat. Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, she felt even more aggrieved...
Gu Ying felt sorry for himself for a while...
With a long sigh, Concubine Liu's blurred eyes gradually came back to their senses.
She moved lightly across the curtain and tested the water temperature in the bathtub with her pink and beady toes. She felt that the water temperature was just right, and then she stepped into the bathtub with peace of mind.
He used the water ladle to fill a ladle of soup with petals, raised his neck, and poured it on himself.
The water flows over the hills like a waterfall, and the petals slide down on the skin. The petals make the skin pink and tender, and the petals also make the skin white...
The two complement each other beautifully.
At this moment, the window opened silently...
A figure wearing a gilt python costume quietly rolled in from the window. The visitor crossed the curtain and saw the enchanting back. He said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is so happy~"
Concubine Liu trembled when she heard the familiar voice, and the ladle used to hold the soup slipped from her hand...
She turned around...
Seeing the thief who had been thinking about it day and night, standing beside the curtain, staring at him with hot eyes...
He quickly crossed his arms in front of him to protect his chest.
Seeing that the heat in the thief's eyes was even more intense, it made my skin feel itchy, and my mood seemed to be getting higher...
She raised her pink neck and pretended to be indifferent and said: "How come Governor Xu, a busy man, has time to come to this palace?"
Xu Boqing could hear the resentment in her words, and said with a smile: "Manager Huang passed away not long ago. As a younger generation, I naturally have to pay tribute to his old man. I didn't come here after hearing the message from the empress."
While talking, he was still undressing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Concubine Liu made a few teasing noises, and said with a hidden voice, "Have you heard the story of Governor Xu, 'The flying dragon subdued more than a dozen martial arts masters in the sky' today."
She paused in her voice and sighed with self-pity: "I only regret that I am so close to my concubine that I was not able to witness the heroic appearance of the Governor~"
“It’s not too late to look now~~”
With the sound of "plop" falling into the water, the silence in the room was also broken...
……………
On the other side is the Queen Mother's chamber in Cining Palace.
The two girls were sitting next to the phoenix tower. Queen Zhang's eyes were red and she held the hand of Queen Mother Chen and cried: "Sister, you should know that the emperor has been well-behaved since childhood and has a kind heart. How could he collude with that rebellious person?"
Someone is harming him..."
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Empress Dowager Chen felt unhappy. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said comfortingly: "The emperor was already angry when he was assassinated, and there are traitors causing trouble. This matter will be resolved after the emperor's anger is over."
"My poor prince has been so well-behaved since he was a child. How could he suffer this fate?"
Empress Zhang paused and said with sobs: "I came to bother my sister today because I actually have something to ask for."
"well……"
Empress Dowager Chen sighed and said: "The emperor is very angry. Don't say that the Ai family is not the biological mother of the emperor. Even so, I can't help you."
"I know…"
Empress Zhang gently wiped the corners of her eyes and said softly: "I don't want to trouble my sister. The one who can help is your palace manager Xu Boqing."
"Xu Boqing..."
Queen Mother Chen's heart tightened, and she seemed to have thought of something. She shook her head subconsciously and refused: "Although Xu Boqing has only been in the palace for a short time, his feelings for Mr. Huang are extremely deep.
Manager Huang was harmed by those assassins, I'm afraid he doesn't want to cause any complications in this matter..."
"It doesn't matter..."
Empress Zhang's eyes moved slightly, and a cryptic smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she whispered in Empress Dowager Chen's ear: "As I expected, Xu Boqing should go to Concubine Liu at this time, but he probably won't tonight.
came back…"
"..."
Queen Mother Chen's breathing was stagnant.
"Sister, you don't want outsiders to know about your relationship, right?"
Seeing her good sister's expression, Empress Zhang became even more convinced of her guess, and said pointedly: "I will stay at your sister's place for one night today. Could you please help me introduce Governor Xu to you tomorrow? I believe he will help me."
mine."
"you!!!"
