Chapter 185 What Is This About?
Leaving the lively and glorious Zhongcui Palace, the two walked into the secluded depths of the Imperial Garden. The palace lanterns in the garden were lit up, making the quiet Imperial Garden filled with light.
Yujing Pavilion is an exquisite attic located in the plum garden to the west of Zhongcui Palace. It only takes a short walk to make a cup of tea. The emperor or the concubines of the harem sometimes came here to enjoy the flowers and wander around, and they used it as a place to rest when they were tired.
Standing on the top of the attic and overlooking the scenery of the plum garden, the feeling will be completely different, and you will often even feel like you are riding the wind back to the immortal.
"Now that you know she has ulterior motives, how dare you come?" Ye Qingcheng said casually, "Although you have two powerful subordinates, Yin Yue and Yin Shuang, you have to know that no matter how strong they are, they are only human beings, not gods. , they can protect your safety in most situations, but they cannot be foolproof.”
Nan Xi was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Is there anything in this world that can guarantee absolute foolproofness? Even if Rong Yu and I are inseparable every day, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen in the future. Being born in a royal family, you should know better than anyone that dangers are everywhere, so be prepared. Once you get it, you can't prevent it forever. I can't just passively wait for others to come to trouble me. I should also learn to fight back. "
Ye Qingcheng raised his lips and raised his eyebrows: "What if you were plotted because of this?"
"Wen Lan stayed in the Queen Mother's Palace for a long time tonight. She was very hostile to me yesterday, but today she suddenly showed her kindness, which must have been under the Queen Mother's instruction." Nan Xi spoke calmly and analyzed methodically, "Wen Lan Lan hates me and wants to get rid of me quickly, but the Queen Mother's target is not me, a little shrimp, but Rong Yu, so tonight's conspiracy must be against me and Rong Yu. "
The Queen Mother used Wen Lan as a chess piece. With Wen Lan's keenness, it was impossible not to guess that the Queen Mother was using her. However, she was willing to be used by the Queen Mother. She obviously had her own plans.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, with a hint of boredom on his face: "Wherever there are people, there are intrigues. I have dealt with many such scenes when I was in Shu. It's really annoying."
Nan Xi smiled: "Seventh Princess... let alone the concubines in the harem, I'm afraid there will be no peace between you sisters."
"You are right." Ye Qingcheng nodded, "It is said that in the royal family, fathers and sons and brothers can kill each other for the throne. In fact, it is difficult for sisters to love each other without fighting for the throne."
The two walked and chatted, and entered the Plum Garden through several inner doors. The light was slightly darker than outside, but they still saw the woman in an elegant dress standing outside the Plum Garden from a distance.
"princess."
Yinshuang, who had always been as cold and indifferent as a shadow, suddenly spoke and stopped at the same time, "This woman is not Miss Wen."
As soon as these words came out, Nan Xi and Ye Qingcheng stopped at the same time, their eyes slightly raised and fell on the elegant and elegant woman in front of them.
Her figure and appearance are almost the same as Wen Lan's, and her hairstyle and clothing are also the same. From a distance, she is undoubtedly Miss Wen.
Yinyue's voice suddenly turned cold and she continued, "It's indeed not Miss Wen."
Nan Xi watched quietly for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows with interest: "What are you trying to do by being so mysterious?"
"Perhaps the Queen Mother is planning to do something grand tonight." Ye Qingcheng said lightly, turning to look around, "We may have fallen into a trap."
Yinshuang and Yinyue walked to the side of Ye Qingcheng and Nan Xi, looking at the surroundings with wary eyes: "There are people in front, behind and on the left and right, they should be the shadow guards in the palace."
Nan Xi smiled: "It's indeed a big deal."
Yinyue and Yinshuang could feel the shadow guards in the palace moving out. They must be shadow guards, and there must be more than one or two.
The palace shadow guards are definitely not something that a wealthy lady like Wen Lan can mobilize. Apart from the emperor, only the queen mother has the authority to mobilize so many shadow guards.
So the Queen Mother plans to use Shadow Guard to deal with her?
Nan Xi smiled.
Of course it's impossible.
Why do we need to dispatch so many shadow guards to deal with a delicate woman like her who doesn't know martial arts?
"There is no murderous intent." Yin Shuang said coldly, "But there are at least fifteen people watching us secretly."
"Yin Shuang and I are no match for each other." Yin Yue frowned, "They don't have murderous intent. The most likely reason is that they want to trap us."
Trap them?
Nan Xi smiled lightly: "Actually, I want to know where Wen Lan is now more than their purpose."
The person who asked her out to meet him disappeared?
"I probably know where she is." Ye Qingcheng clicked his tongue, and a sneer appeared on his face under the veil, "Someone is treating us as fools... Oh no, they are treating you, the regent princess, as a fool."
Nan Xi looked at the motionless woman at the entrance of Meiyuan in front, and said in a calm voice: "So should we wait here now, or..."
"I don't want to feed the mosquitoes here, princess. It would be more fun to go back and watch the show."
Nan Xi nodded: "I think so too."
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Ye Qingcheng said casually, "Yunting, deal with it."
…
Outside Zhongcui Palace, the atmosphere was lively.
As soon as the dancers finished their dance, they knelt down respectfully to give birthday greetings to the Queen Mother, and then filed away.
After the music stopped for a while, the sound of silk and bamboo began again.
The beautiful palace maids shuttled between the seats, poured tea and wine, and presented fine wines and delicacies one after another.
A group of dancers in blue walked up the red carpet with light steps and bowed respectfully to the empress on the high throne. They all had graceful figures and soft and melodious voices: "See you, the emperor, see the queen mother."
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Empress Dowager!"
The dancers stood up, swung the veil on their arms, and began to dance flexibly.
The ministers toasted each other, chatted, and talked, their eyes fell on the dancers in the middle of the red carpet, admiring their agile dance and beautiful figures.
At this moment, a veiled girl in a red dance dress came in with small lotus steps, like a bright moon hidden in the clouds, like an elf suddenly appearing at night, beautiful and breathtaking, and soon bent her waist and danced with the cooperation of the blue-dressed dancer.
The ministers were stunned, and they felt that the red-dressed dancer who came later looked particularly familiar.
This woman was enchanting in red, with a slender figure and an extraordinary appearance. When she bent her waist and danced with her arms, her figure was as soft as a breeze blowing on a willow. Under the slightly raised veil, the outline of her face was looming, and she was full of charm and charm.
The ministers slowly saw the woman's appearance, and the expressions on their faces gradually solidified.
This... what is going on here?
All the ministers turned their heads at the same time, holding their breath and looking at the Regent Rong Yu who was sitting beside them, wondering whether the Regent had taken the wrong medicine or the Regent Princess.
Even if they wanted to dance for the Queen Mother's birthday, they couldn't let the Regent Princess perform in person, right?
Rong Yu sat expressionlessly at the table, holding a teacup in his hand, his noble and handsome eyebrows and eyes were gloomy and unpredictable.
