Chapter 1085: Shenlong Coup (30)
At dusk, night fell, and Quan Ce left the Huaqing Palace.
He has always done a good job of these details, except for the first night, he has never stayed in the palace.
Even if everyone has all kinds of speculation in their minds, as long as they are cautious and do not leave evidence behind, it will never happen.
In the inner room of the Nine Dragons Palace, the brocade ribbon is densely layered, reflecting a plump and concave and convex attractive figure.
Empress Wu was lying on her back on the thick carpet, her long green hair, like a cloud like a waterfall, spread on the top of her head, and her body was only covered with a layer of golden tulle, accompanied by a long wheezing sound, rising and falling, and the fine beads of sweat on her body, the strange pink, were faintly visible.
After a long time, Empress Wu opened her eyes, relaxed her body, spread her limbs, and stared vacantly at the boundless gold and jade splendor above her head.
The afterglow slowly dissipated, and her body was a little cold, and Empress Wu slowly curled up and wrapped the light veil tightly.
Less than a stick of incense was separated, and she had already begun to miss it again, her hands were gently caressed on her body, her eyes were squinted and her face was calm and pleasant.
The place that favored him the most was often the most seriously injured, and some places were bruised and swollen, and the Empress Wu muttered and complained, "This little thief, when he arrives at this time, is like a madman, and he doesn't know how to pity people."
"Leave when you're comfortable, it's really a white-eyed wolf who is full of food"
The mouth is chattering, but the face is full of red clouds, and the smile is bright.
After a long pause, Empress Wu turned over, hugged the tulle, barefoot, picked up the scattered clothes in the room, walked to a bath indoors, and slowly submerged in the water.
Ten fingers smart, pull up the high bun, pick up the milky white warm soup pool water with her bare hands, sprinkle it on her body, humming in her mouth can not be said, there are no rows of palace ladies to serve, there is no petal incense, she is still happy, happy tight.
When everything was in order, he raised his voice to call people in, his body was tired, he soaked in warm soup, and his bones were crispy and soft, and he didn't want to use it again for dinner, and he just wanted to go to bed early.
"Xu Hui meets Your Majesty"
"What?" Empress Wu glanced at her and took care of her hair.
Seeing this, Xu Hui glared at the palace maid next to her, stepped forward, and made a gesture to take the sandalwood comb in the hand of the Empress Wu, "The slave maid serves Your Majesty"
Empress Wu shook her head and refused, "I can do it myself, and I can speak up if I have something."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Xu Hui retreated, bowed and said, "The matter of choosing a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of Anguo has been protracted for a long time, and there are a lot of discussions in the market, and there are still some big clans in the local area.
What Xu Hui mentioned when she opened her mouth was a serious matter that had been pressed for a long time.
In addition to Xu Hui, Li Zuo, the king of Langling County, Li Sujie, the king of Yu, and the prime minister Quan Ce Xiang helped to operate, however, Wu Sansi, the king of Liang in Shendu, was suddenly assassinated, although there was no clear evidence, but Li Dan was pointed out by the government and the opposition, and continued to choose a concubine for him, which was already out of place.
"I forgot about it," Empress Wu sighed faintly, put down the comb, and tied her hair up high.
When I thought about it, I remembered that Li Dan's promotion of the prime minister was also delayed, and I was in a good mood, and it was very bad.
"Hmph, there are really a lot of things left on hold that have something to do with Dan."
Xu Hui bowed deeply and did not speak.
"That's it, this is also considered that the limelight has passed, you continue to Zhang Luo, be low-key, pass the scene or something, if you can avoid it, you will be exempted, and the women who will be shortlisted will be summoned to Chang'an, I will look at each other with Da Lang and ask each other, choose the best one, and give marriage to Li Dan"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid obeys the order" Xu Hui bent her knees, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many women should enter Beijing?" ”
Empress Wu frowned, her mind drifted inexplicably for a while, her cheeks flushed, and she showed a weird smile, "It's set as seven, but it's indispensable."
Xu Hui didn't know what to do, so she smiled and responded to the fate.
"Since you are here, I will explain to you an errand again, the daughter is going to return to the Shendu, and I also took Wu Luoheng away, Quan Ce didn't even see her face, which is very inconsistent with his temperament, and there should be something else."
Empress Wu held her knees, stood up, and unnaturally, changed her name for Quan Ce.
"Either this Wu Luoheng has some other sin under the surface of the water that angered Quan Ce, or there are people around Quan Ce who are obstructing him, don't have calculations, don't want them to meet, can do this, and can direct the use of thousands of gold, you say, who will be?"
Xu Hui's heart jumped, and she was vague, "As far as the slave knows, Wu Luoheng only entered Chang'an, and he committed a crime on the street, and he was brought into the Wannian County Ya, so he should have no chance to be a traitor......
"As for the second possibility, the slave maid is shallow, and has always seen the right Xiangye to kill decisively, when very few people dare to do it under his nose, however, the right Xiangye values affection and family affection, maybe someone took advantage of the loophole and guided it with clever words, the right Xiangye didn't care too much, it was a ...... to make a trip."
Empress Wu nodded slowly, "Wu Luoheng is just a little lady, when there is no big fault, then Quan Ce's side, someone must have the idea to fight Wu Luoheng, deliberately separated her from Quan Ce's side, with ill intentions."
"I will be invited by my daughter tomorrow, let her go back to the capital, you arrange the elite manpower of the internal guard, closely monitor and track, wait and see what happens, no need to startle the snake, as soon as there is news, report to me immediately, I want to see what they are thinking about behind their backs"
"The slave maid will go out of the palace to arrange" Xu Hui's palms were damp for a while, and she couldn't wait to leave.
Empress Wu leaned on the dragon couch, her eyes were full of golden yellow, which made her irritable mood, calm down again, reached out and fiddled with the abacus on the side of the bed twice, listened to the crisp sound, and smiled gently.
"Before I knew it, there had been seven times"
The brows furrowed slightly, the man was cold by nature, he liked the new and hated the old, she should think of something new, so that the white-eyed wolf couldn't stop.
With the sound of eating and laughing, the martial queen slowly sank into a dark and sweet dream.
Xu Hui hurriedly walked out of the Nine Dragons Palace, her steps were like flying, and she ran towards the palace gate with a long line of palace maids holding lanterns.
On the palace wall, there is a plump and moving figure, with clothes flying, warm and fragrant.
"Staring at her, summoning to the Jedi and the flower slave, Xu Hui running in the palace late at night, there must be something different"
Since there are tanuki cats, they have broken through the sky and disappeared into the night.
She covered her mouth and yawned coquettishly, and went down the palace wall.
"The old slave visited Zhaorong, it was late at night, please take care of Zhaorong and rest early"
"Thank you, eunuch"
Yang Siqiao's tall and sturdy figure was very conspicuous in the night, and he appeared here at this time, obviously he also got the news that Xu Hui's movements were abnormal.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and went their separate ways.
Xu Hui got off Lishan and fell into hesitation at the fork in the official road.
On one side is Chang'an City, and on the other side is the plum blossom internal guard base on the outskirts of the city.
"Go"
Xu Hui rode his horse and galloped, and the dust kicked up.
She didn't go into town.
