Chapter 6. Anger

A few days later, several officials who were dispatched to other places were ready to go. Several people gathered together, their faces were all worried. After leaving the capital for a certain distance, they let go of their courage to speak.

"It seems that we won't be able to come back for a few days, and we don't know what Concubine Yi is planning." One of them lowered his head and sighed.

Several other people nodded their heads when they heard the words, and leaned closer and said: "The concubine Yi must have heard about us being sent out, don't worry, there are other people in the court, no matter how bad it is, there are hidden stakes outside the palace, We don't have to worry so much."

"That's right, we will be able to come back when Concubine Yi's important matter is over." The other person frowned, and after thinking it through, they continued on the road, and the carriage quickly disappeared by the side of the road.

After they left, a black figure came out from behind a tree not far away. He looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, snorted coldly, and flew away.

******

On this day, Huangfu Yunzheng went to court, Shen Lingqiu also got up early, after breakfast, he simply went to the imperial garden for a walk when he had nothing to do.

Walking on the road that I walked with Huangfu Yunzheng before, the snow that fell in the past few days has completely melted, and the sun is shining warmly on my body, which is very comfortable.

Stopping and walking, Shen Lingqiu was walking while admiring the surrounding scenery. At this moment, the voices of other palace people came from in front of him. He was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

"See the empress." It was Concubine Yi's empress Du Yi who came to meet her. She bowed her head and saluted. After getting up, she raised her head to look at the person in front of her, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Is Concubine Yi here to relax too?" Shen Lingqiu glanced at her and asked in a low voice.He was not good at talking with women in the harem, but he could tell that there was hostility in Concubine Yi's eyes.

When Du Yi was asked, she replied: "No, the concubine is just passing by. I hope that the Queen's interest will not be spared. Then the concubine will resign." After speaking, she took the palace people behind her and left slowly.

After walking far enough, Du Yi stopped, turned her head to look at the figure who had left in the distance, the faint smile on her lips turned into a sneer, she looked at the maid Ruyin beside her, and said softly: "This empress It really looks good." It's not in vain that she has been curious for so many days.

If she didn't answer the call, she had been with Concubine Yi for many years, so she could naturally guess what was going on in her heart at the moment, so she didn't make a sound to disturb her.

After Du Yi stood there for a while, she stepped forward and continued to walk forward, hoping that this so-called queen would not spoil her important affairs, otherwise she would never let him go.Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

At the same time, Shen Lingqiu also returned to the Qiushui Palace, recalling the look in Concubine Yi Yi's eyes just now, his heart was inexplicably blocked. He knew that the women in the harem had entered the palace earlier than him, but since he came, he was the queen. Naturally, there were complaints in her heart, and Concubine Yi, I heard that she was the most favored in the harem and the emperor's heart.

Slowly sitting down on the chair, Shen Lingqiu thought for a while, then simply took out the collection of classics and history given by Huangfu Yunzheng a few days ago and continued to read.I don't know how he knew he liked these, but he was really happy the moment he took them out.

The Qiushui Palace was very quiet, but the weather outside the window suddenly changed, the warm sun gradually disappeared, and the white snowflakes began to fall again, getting bigger and bigger, and the originally warm palace gradually cooled down.

After reading for a while, he turned a page and continued to read intently, but he heard the sound of pushing the door outside. He looked up and saw that it was Wen Qing, followed by three court ladies who came in quietly and stood in front of him. .

"What is this for?" Shen Lingqiu was stunned and asked in a low voice.

Wen Qing didn't answer right away, he asked the maids to kneel down, and then replied respectfully: "Queen, these three maids are here to serve you."

The three raised their heads under Shen Lingqiu's signal, and introduced themselves one by one. After a while, Wen Qing left, and the three retreated outside the hall. Seeing no one around, they began to discuss in low voices.

"The empress is really pretty, but I still think Concubine Yi is prettier." The one who spoke was the youngest maid named Cailian. She heard that Concubine Yi was favored, so she wholeheartedly wanted to serve her, so maybe the emperor When I came to favor Concubine Yi, I saw her and became interested in her. She was very confident in her appearance, and she was much younger than Concubine Yi, but I didn't expect that she would be sent to serve the queen. I don't know. This queen is not favored, and she is a man. It seems that her hopes are much smaller, so she is inevitably a little unhappy in her heart.

And the other two palace maids also had the same thoughts as her. Hearing that Concubine Yi was favored, they all hoped to reach the sky with her. Now that this beautiful wish was shattered, they had many complaints in their hearts.

The three of them stood at the door chatting quietly, taking a breath from time to time to prevent their bodies from freezing.After chatting for a while, the three of them became a little sleepy, so they simply helped each other watch, and went to a hidden place to rest for a while.

At this moment in the Qiushui Palace, Shen Lingqiu felt tired after reading the book all morning, so he went to sit on the bed, leaned against the edge of the bed and continued to read, and fell asleep without knowing it. There was no earth dragon in the palace, even if the quilt was covered It's cold.

But at the moment outside the door, the three new maids were lazing, they didn't see the few people coming not far away, the person who came was Xi'er, she was sent by the emperor to serve the empress, and she took some palace servants out just now For some things, when she came back, she saw that the three new maids were slacking off, and she was angry from the bottom of her heart. She walked over quickly, first walked into the hall, and saw that the earth dragon had not yet arisen, so she burned the earth dragon first. , and then exited the palace and came to the three court ladies.

The three maids had naturally woken up. They looked at Xi'er who was furious, Cai Lian who was courageous said, "Sister Xi'er, the queen didn't let us go in to serve him."

Xi'er glared at the words, and said: "Don't you have eyes? Did you not notice that the queen is asleep? The dragon in the palace is not burning. If the queen gets sick from the cold, do you have the life to take responsibility for it?"

Cai Lian was choked by her words, and her face immediately became a little unhappy, but this expression could not be hidden from Xi'er, who had been in the palace for many years, she only heard her sneer and said: "Don't make a bitter face, I know you all What are you thinking, don't think that you are a sparrow, it is really a beautiful idea to become a phoenix and reach the sky in one step!"

Being choked by her like this, the faces of the three of them became even more ugly, but after all, they had learned the rules from the nanny, so they didn't dare to say anything nonsense, they just lowered their heads, filled with resentment in their hearts.Just as they were being taught a lesson, a voice came in.

"What are you doing?" Huangfu Yunzheng came over to take a look after approving the memorial. As soon as he arrived, he saw Xi'er standing in front of the three court ladies. From the expression on his face, he could guess that the words were not good, so he asked.

Seeing the emperor coming, Xi'er walked over quickly, looked at the three maids and said, "Return to the emperor, these three people have neglected their duties and are lazy outside the palace. There is no earth dragon in the palace, and I don't know how long the queen has been cold." If she was here, she would definitely not let this happen, but they were not there, and they only left for a quarter of an hour. She thought that there should be no problem with these three maids, but she didn't expect them to be here. To do so is really infuriating.

Listening to her patiently, when he heard the last sentence, the anger in Huangfu Yunzheng's heart suddenly surfaced, he walked over, and said coldly: "You really have the guts, come here, drag out and beat the thirty-one Ban, I won’t be here anymore after the fight, Wenqing, arrange someone to come over, if the arrangement is not good, be careful, I will fight with you.”

Wen Qing stood aside, flustered for a long time, these three people were recommended to him by his mother, and he brought them here because there was a shortage of people, but unexpectedly, something almost happened, so he quickly agreed, not daring to say anything more.

"Your Majesty! I know I'm wrong!" The three maids shouted when they saw this. Thirty sticks might be enough for a man, but for them it was simply fatal!

Hearing their cries, Huangfu Yunzheng glanced at them coldly, the three of them disrespected his Lingqiu and dared to neglect him, absolutely unforgivable!Thirty big bosses are already showing mercy, yet they dare to beg for mercy from him!He snorted coldly and ignored it.

The three maids were dragged out immediately, and there were screams soon, but Huangfu Yunzheng felt no sympathy at all, he snorted coldly, and walked quickly into the hall, maybe the earth dragon had just been burned After a while, the hall was not very warm yet, he walked to the bed and saw Ling Qiu was sleeping on the edge of the bed with a book in his hand.

With a chuckle, he slowly helped him to lie down, helped him tuck the quilt, the back of his hand touched his palm, it was cold, he frowned slightly, it seemed that it was really cold to him. The resentment of the three maids was even worse.

He knew what they were thinking. Before he was reborn, Du Yi was his favorite, so the three of them were sent to serve the queen who didn't know how to be favored, and there were complaints in their hearts. Everyone knows that Ling Qiu is the queen of Dongcang Kingdom, and that Du Yi will die sooner or later!

Let’s say that after the three maids were beaten with sticks, they lost half their lives even if they didn’t die. The three of them lay on the bed, thinking of the emperor’s anger just now, they felt even more miserable. Of course, they also understood one thing.It's not that the emperor doesn't favor the queen, on the contrary, he values ​​her very much, and it's because they are blind, so they deserve it.

At the same time, after Huangfu Yunzheng helped Shen Lingqiu cover the quilt, he left the Qiushui Palace and went back to the imperial study. At this moment, his confidant Feng Yang was waiting for him. He went in and sat down, and said in a low voice: ?”

Hearing this, Feng Yang replied, "They've already left." He paused, and said all the words he heard, and as expected, he saw the ugly face of the person in front of him.

After listening to him patiently, Huangfu Yunzheng didn't answer immediately, but was thinking in his heart who should be dealt with next, and he couldn't be too fast, otherwise it would be very easy to attract attention, and his efforts would be in vain.

Thinking of this, he had a calculation in his heart.
