Chapter 495: The Lady of the Night (I)
As the old royal family of Xiliang, Li Yun thought that it would be very smooth to come to the East Wangfu to surrender, but he didn't expect that the East King would put forward harsh conditions. For her, being able to take refuge under the Dongwang Mansion adds a lot of strength, which is very helpful for the restoration of the country in the future. As for the assassination of the King of Yanning, she was not very worried, but she was afraid that the time would be too late.
After saying that, Han Jian said, "Do you need to find someone to send Miss Li back?" ”
"Your Highness is worried. The whereabouts of the people's daughter in Luoyang are close, and there are still details of the West Wangfu investigating the whereabouts of the people's daughter, and this time I came to the East Wangfu and didn't want to be known to outsiders, so I ......"
She didn't say the rest. Han Jian wanted to come, because Li Yun didn't want the people of the Eastern Wangfu to send him away, so as not to expose his hiding.
"Mrs. Luo, you send Miss Li back." Han Jian said to Mrs. Love.
"Yes, young boy."
Mrs. Luo saluted and said goodbye, Han Jian didn't leave her much, this time Mrs. Luo acted as an intermediary and came to Li Yun to talk to him about things, she was good at advocating, but now that the matter has not been completed, Han Jian has an element of embarrassment, she expected that it might also be related to herself, so she didn't dare to plead.
Mrs. Luo and Li Yun left the Dongwang Mansion together, and Han Jian also left the Dongwang Mansion, but went directly to the direction of the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, Han Jian drove to Yang Rui's palace, but saw Yang Ruizheng wearing a wide robe reading some books, which seemed to be presented by the ministers below, about the administrative expenses of Luoyang. Han Jian had also reminded Lin Ke that as for the financial issues, it could be delayed for the time being, and now the military expenditure is already very large. In other respects, it is possible to save money.
"Rui'er, why are you so fascinated?" Han Jian sat down and asked knowingly.
At this time, Hui'er cautiously walked out and poured tea for Han Jian, while Yang Rui put down the notebook and walked over.
Yang Rui said: "Regarding the expenses of the imperial court, in the past few months, Luoyang's treasury has been emptied, and if it goes on like this, next year's tax revenue may not be collected." ”
Han Jian took a sip of tea and said, "When your third brother leaves Luoyang, you will transport everything that Luoyang can take away." Left. Even if you have to transport supplies from Jiangdu. It's also time-consuming. This is also the reason why I proposed to return to Jiangdu in the first place, Luoyang, which seems to extend in all directions, is also the easiest to be blocked, and now Luoyang is the target of everyone. It's really not advisable to stay too long. ”
Yang Rui also sighed lightly: "I'll leave in two days." I don't know what kind of scene this Luoyang will become. ”
Han Jian probably understands Yang Rui's "hardships". In the final analysis, as an emperor, Yang Rui has a strong sense of responsibility. She cares about the people all the time, and she feels guilty about abandoning Luoyang City and leaving Jiangdu.
Han Jian diverted the topic and said, "Tomorrow the palace will give a banquet, but who should I invite?" ”
Yang Rui said: "It's still the same as before, but there are very few people in the royal family in Luoyang, and I'm afraid there won't be a few people." It was regarded as a family banquet, and tomorrow the husband would bring Li'er over, and after the banquet, the family would be reunited. ”
Han Jian felt quite embarrassed in her heart, listening to Yang Rui's meaning, she was ready to show friendship with Yang Li'er. This matter is not simple, Yang Li'er knows about him and Yang Rui's affairs, but after all, the layer of window paper has not been pierced open, if Yang Li'er is brought over to meet Yang Rui alone, how to explain this matter?
"But do you still feel embarrassed in your husband's heart?" Yang Rui saw that Han Jian was silent and asked.
Han Jian smiled comfortingly and said, "It's okay, when Rui'er comes, you tell her that I won't mix with this matter." ”
Yang Ruibai glanced at Han Jian, but she also seemed to be full of confidence to be able to settle Yang Li'er, and Han Jian didn't know where she got such confidence in her heart. Could it be that she felt hungry and could use the authority of the empress to suppress Yang Li'er?
"Rui'er, yesterday you were unwell, today you ...... But is it getting better? Han Jian said with a smile.
Yang Rui said: "The husband is still blaming the concubine for being rude yesterday?" ”
Han Jian smiled and said, "What did Rui'er say, Rui'er, why were you rude yesterday?" The physical thing is supposed to be able to withstand it, if Rui'er you feel reluctant, I will leave the palace earlier today. ”
"If the husband leaves today, that is, the concubine really doesn't know how to be polite." Yang Rui said, and said to Hui'er who was standing on the side, "Hui'er, you go and prepare hot water, and then go to urge the imperial dining room to send my medicinal food over earlier." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hui'er hurried out of the room.
Han Jian saw Yang Rui's cautious appearance, and he also felt strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Yang Rui had practiced martial arts after all, and martial arts were still above him, no matter how bad his body was, why did he need medicinal food every day to regulate his body? Is this a woman who is old and not confident in her body?
Han Jian didn't say anything after all, for women's affairs, Han Jian felt that he could not ask. After all, men and women are different in terms of body structure, even if two people are close, they always have some secrets about each other, and if they break it, it will not only embarrass both parties, but may damage the relationship between the two people.
After a while, Hui'er came over with steaming medicinal food, Yang Rui pointed to the table and said, "Put it there, it's nothing, you go out to rest first." Don't let you in, don't come in. ”
"Yes." Hui'er hurriedly retreated, she knew the following thing, that is, the husband and wife ceremony between the East King and the Empress, she was an outsider now, and this kind of thing could not be observed.
Waiting for Hui'er to retreat, Yang Rui dimmed the lights in the room a little, and said to Han Jian, who was sitting at the table watching Lin Ke present the notebook: "Why isn't Husband in a hurry at this time?" ”
"What's the urgency?" Han Jian raised his head and smiled, "This night is slow, we can take our time, I won't leave the palace in the middle of the night to say anything this time." ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Is the husband afraid that he won't be able to explain to Li'er when he goes back?" ”
Han Jian sighed: "Li'er is not stupid, just like Rui'er said, she knows our affairs well, and when I see her these days, I also feel that she wants to stop talking." I really don't know how to say it. Tomorrow when Qian'er enters the palace, if Rui'er thinks it's hard to say, then don't say it for the time being, wait for a qiē to return to Jiangdu, and then explain the matter after going with the flow. ”
Speaking of returning to Jiangdu, Yang Rui's expression suddenly darkened a little.
Yang Rui asked, "Has the husband written a letter to Jiangdu recently?" ”
"There is a letter of peace." Han Jian said, "I didn't mention anything about you and me. ”
"How is the husband going to explain it to the people in the family?" Yang Rui looked at Han Jian, his face was very embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything in itself.
In the eyes of Han Song and others, Han Jian and Yang Rui are two classes of people, not only with different identities, but also with different generations. When such two people walk together, even if they have to hide it from the people of the world first, it is difficult for the people in the family to hide it.
Han Jian said: "Not for the time being, wait until the right time, and then let Erniang and them know." With Erniang's temperament, they shouldn't say anything. ”
Yang Rui sighed: "That's it. ”
With Yang Rui's expression, she didn't have a proper way to do it herself. She had a very stiff relationship with Han Song before, and she used to treat Han Song as a sister, but this time when she went back, she became a junior of Han Song. She didn't know how to go back and face Han Song and the others.
Han Jian helped Yang Rui to sit down in front of the bed, Han Jian took action, but Yang Rui pointed to the light and said, "It's better to turn off the lights first." ”
Han Jian has always been unhappy about turning off the lights, and there is no fun in the black light.
"Rui'er, it's better to ...... today Shall we go to the shower again? ”
Yang Ruiden glanced at Han Jian and said, "The day before yesterday was not enough, go again?" Aren't you afraid of being disturbed by anyone again? ”
Han Jian smiled: "There are some things, how can it be good if they don't stimulate some?" If Rui'er finds it difficult for you, then change it next time. ”
Yang Rui straightened up and sighed: "In two days, I will leave to return to Jiangdu, and I don't know what year and month it will be when I will have the next opportunity." This time I fulfilled my husband's wishes, who told the concubine to be ashamed of her husband these days? ”
Han Jian smiled, it seemed that Yang Rui was not the kind of person who was too reserved.
At night, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace had not yet fallen asleep, and this time was different from the last time Han Jian and Yang Rui had a secret meeting.
Originally, Han Jian thought that he could sneak over, but Yang Rui said: "The concubine first ordered to go down, no one is allowed to go over to disturb, and when the concubine arrives, the husband will go again, so that no one will notice." ”
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, Yang Rui this time was to prevent the matter from being noticed, so he simply came to the light and moved over to take a bath, but it was going to hurt him, he was tantamount to "stealing incense and stealing jade".
Yang Rui left, and Han Jian had to wait for a while before leaving.
After a short while, when Han Jian felt a little bored, Hui'er hurriedly ran back and said, "Your Highness, please come over." ”
"Oh, it's all arranged?" Han Jian asked.
"Yes." Hui'er nodded, still looking quite scared of Han Jian.
"You go over to serve Your Majesty first, and this king will go over." Han Jian said a word, and let Hui'er go first.
Han Jian arrived at the door of the dormitory, adapted to the dark environment outside, and was about to leave, but saw a figure coming from afar.
Han Jian was alert at first, and when he realized that the person who came was a friend rather than an enemy, he put away his vigilance a little.
When people came over, Han Jian fixed his eyes and saw clearly, but it was Fa Yi who was dressed in black.
"Master?" Han Jian stepped forward with a smile, took Fa Yi's hand, and said with an eager expression.
"Is it possible to be inside?" Fa Yi wanted to break free, but her hand was firmly held by Han Jian, and she glanced at the inside of the dormitory with some worry, as if she was afraid of being detected by Yang Rui.
"It's okay, Your Majesty isn't in it." Han Jian said with a smile.
Fa Yi hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”
"Master has something important to look for?" Han Jian said, "Your Majesty just went to bathe, I'm ...... Prepare to leave the palace. If the master wants to do something important, I will take the master to see His Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty going to take a bath?"
Fa Yi frowned slightly, obviously not quite understanding Han Jian's words. As an emperor, Yang Rui never bathed and would never leave his bedroom, so why did he go all the way to other places? (To be continued......)
