Kiss of Dementia

At noon, Zhang Fang was reading the prepared notes on the cabinet vote when he saw Chen Min, the eunuch who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies, rushing over.

Chen Min was his apprentice. After he took over as the Chief of Ceremonies, he not only took charge of the one hundred thousand eunuchs in the palace, but also had to approve the final decisions of the cabinet for the emperor. Not only did he hold great power, he also shouldered important responsibilities.

After entering the ceremonial department, the most important thing was to cultivate the influence of his confidants first. Although Chen Min had no qualifications, he was smart, so Zhang Fang promoted him to the eunuch.

When Chen Min came in, Zhang Fang asked everyone waiting in the room to go out, but Chen Min still leaned into his ear and spoke softly.

Listening to his words, Zhang Fang's expression became more and more solemn, and finally she frowned and asked, "Did you read that right?"

"That's right," Chen Min replied, "Master, my apprentice remembers that that is the master in Tangquan Palace. He was one of the eunuchs, and someone under his disciple's command secretly came forward to spy on him. He said that he said something about 'acting according to the plan', and mentioned 'empress'. The empress in Tangquan Palace was not the only Empress Dowager Shengyi. What?

"You also said, 'Even if the queen wakes up, she won't dare to speak out for the sake of reputation.' After the matter was planned, the man immediately left the palace, thinking he was rushing back to Xiuling. "

Zhang Fang had a sullen face and didn't speak for a long time.

"Although I couldn't hear clearly, I can tell from what I heard intermittently that it wasn't a good thing. No matter whose idea it was, it was going to be detrimental to Queen Mother Shengyi. "Chen Min said worriedly.

Zhang Fang nodded heavily and said to his apprentice: "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who dare to do harm to the Queen Mother Shengyi...Master can't move around easily, so go to Xiuling in person. Be sure to make sure that Empress Shengyi is safe! "

It is indeed appropriate to let Chen Min rush away. Zhang Fang is the chief minister of etiquette, not to mention that he can't get away. If he goes with such a big Buddha, he will not only alarm the snake, but also make the matter worse, which will also affect the Queen Mother Shengyi. It’s not a good thing.

“Master, don’t worry, I’ll save you! "Chen Min nodded in reply.

He didn't dare to delay, turned around and walked out. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he was stopped by Zhang Fang behind him, "Wait a minute! "

Chen Min turned around, Zhang Fang looked at him and said: "Go to Mr. Yuan Fujiang first, tell him about this, and then follow his orders. After saying that

, Zhang Fang thought for a while and took out another dental plaque from the drawer, "Take my plaque with you so that Mr. Jiang can mobilize his manpower." You went to Xiuling to do things secretly. As long as you ensure that the Queen Mother is safe, you can't make any more noise. Whoever did it will be beaten to death without leaving any trace. "

After hearing these words, Chen Min's expression became even more serious. He was worthy of being brought out by Zhang Fang. He understood the true meaning of the master from these words, "My disciple knows that I dare not cause any further trouble to Queen Mother Shengyi. "

Zhang Fang wanted him to erase the evidence and leave it neither to the person who did it nor to the Queen Mother Shengyi, so that neither party could investigate further.

Zhang Fang nodded with relief and sighed in a low voice: "You are still sensible. Your Majesty has not yet taken charge, so there can be no disturbance in the palace..."

Chen Min went to Wenyuan Pavilion according to Zhang Fang's instructions, but Jiang Weiren was not in the pavilion because he was not on duty. The palace people said that Lord Yuan Fu had gone to the Privy Council. Chen Min She was so anxious that she rushed to the Privy Council again. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang came back on the way.

Chen Min told him the matter. Almost the next moment, he saw Mr. Jiang's expression change. He was always fearless in the face of danger. Mr. Yuanfu seemed to be even more panicked than he was at the moment.

"Sir," Chen Min lowered his voice, "Do you want our family to rush to Xiuling to cook immediately? "

Of course I have to trouble my father-in-law," Jiang Weiren nodded solemnly, and then said in a low voice, "my father-in-law is not going alone..."

After saying that, he turned to his attendants, "Go and prepare the horses. You have to pick your feet." Fast! "

Chen Min was surprised. He never expected that Mr. Jiang would rush there in person. The Queen Mother Shengyi's matter was certainly not a trivial matter, but the dignified Lord Yuanfu left state affairs behind and rushed over. Besides, the matter is still uncertain. Now he is just worried. Jiang

Weiren had calmed down at this moment and said to Chen Min: "There is one more thing I want to do for you. You and I have to cover up when we go here. We can't alert the palace, and it's hard to send out the imperial army. Please ask your father-in-law to go to Fusi, Beizhen, to pick out two skilled Tiqi, and accompany them in casual clothes. "

Every factory and one bathroom is under the jurisdiction of the Si Li Supervisor. Chen Min is not only the eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor, but also has Zhang Fang's tooth tag, so he said: "Sir, don't worry, our family will definitely find the most capable person in the Jinyi Guard. "

Jiang Weiren and Chen Min took two royal guards and hurried to Xiuling. By the time they arrived

at the palace, it was already evening. Among the eunuchs in charge of the palace, none of them recognized Mr. Chen, the eunuch who was in charge of etiquette. Thinking that there was something coming from the palace,

Chen Min hurriedly came to greet him, "The other day when the Qinghe County Lord came into the palace, he told His Majesty that there were no flowers to enjoy in the winter, and the flowers elsewhere in the winter were all gone. , but in our Xiuling Palace, there are flowers blooming in all seasons. No, the master asked me to lead the servants of the Jiang family to the palace flower room to pick some for the county master.

The eunuch in charge was obviously relieved, "This is not easy. I immediately asked someone to move the flowers. " "

Chen Min smiled and said, "Slave dog, how can any flower catch the eyes of the county lord? Okay, let’s go pick it out ourselves, and we brought some help here specially.

He pointed at the two guards in casual clothes and said to the eunuch in charge, "This is a small matter. Queen Mother Shengyi is here to recuperate. Don't be alarmed. Just send Huangmen to lead the way. You should follow her. " Just do whatever the errand is! "

With his instructions, the eunuch in charge couldn't say anything else. He was on duty in the palace all year round, so naturally he didn't recognize Mr. Yuan Fu. He only thought that Jiang Weiren was a servant of the Jiang family, so he picked a clever Huangmen carrying a lantern. Follow along.

We learned from the little yellow door that Yan Qing and Princess Chongning were having a banquet at Tianxin Tower today. When the group felt near Tianxin Tower, night had fallen, and two palace officials were rushing out of it. Jiang Weiren After avoiding the corner with a few people, the two people didn't notice.

One of the female officials said: "Okay, I have helped the queen into the Nuan Pavilion at the back and asked everyone on duty to evacuate. You send me. People went to lure Major General Ye.

Another person asked: "Are the doors and windows locked? " "

The door is locked and the window is unreachable. The incense is so strong that I still have the strength to climb through the window." Don't worry, when Ye Shaonan comes in, we will lock the doors and windows and wait for an hour or two for the medicine to take effect on both of them before alerting the eldest princess and asking her to come over, just in time to see her.

"But Aunt Fuying can't hold her back any longer..." the

female official said, "Tell her that the empress and the eldest princess want to have a heart-to-heart talk, so they will rest in the Nuan Pavilion and not return to the dormitory, and there is no need for her to serve them." "

Chen Min felt shocked after listening to the words of the two people. It seemed to be worse than what he had imagined before. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Weiren's eyes were heavy, even with a hint of violence.

He was silent at the moment and was obviously very angry . , but Chen Min was calmer and said to him: "Sir, your Majesty is inside now and has fallen into their scheme. If you forcefully break in, it will be your Majesty who will be the most unfavorable if things go wrong. These two hundred households were chosen to be one of the most skilled. Let them go in to explore the situation first. "

Jiang Weiren's eyes were almost darker than the night. The anger in his heart could not be suppressed, but he also understood that Chen Min was right, so he nodded slowly.

In order not to scare the snake, the two Jin Yiwei Baihu climbed up the wall and climbed in neatly. He walked into the courtyard and turned back after a while.

"Eunuch, as they said, all the people on duty near the Nuan Pavilion have evacuated, and the windows are unlocked, but there is no one in the house, and the queen is not inside.

Chen Min was shocked, "Not in there? " If they weren't inside, then why did those two people say that just now? "

One of the hundreds of households replied: "My subordinate saw a broken porcelain cup on the ground from the window, and there were a few traces of blood next to it..."

"She escaped," Jiang Weiren suddenly said, "She smashed the cup and was cut. He then escaped through the window. There was no one on duty outside, so those people didn't know she was not inside yet. "

As he expected, Ye Shaonan was led to Tianxin Tower a moment after they left Tianxin Tower. As soon as he entered the hall. Inside, the palace door was locked from the outside. This time, those people did not forget to lock the windows.

Jiang Weiren turned around, stared at the small yellow door following them and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother Shengyi's bedroom?"

Since Yan Qing had escaped, he naturally wanted to go back to his bedroom at the moment. He had to go and see that she was indeed there. Yu was relieved.

The little yellow gate led a few people to Yan Qing's bedroom. Naturally, he didn't know what those people were doing in the palace. He only saw Eunuch Chen's expression was very bad, and he felt a little uneasy, so he said: "Eunuch, the Queen Mother's bedroom is a bit far away. , I will take you to the shortcut."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Weiren said suddenly and stopped, "How far is the Queen Mother's bedroom from the Tianxin Tower

? If you don't take a carriage, you have to walk for half an hour. "

Tell me, which pavilions are closest to Tianxin Tower?" Jiang Weiren said slowly.

The little yellow door thought for a while and replied: "Then the greenhouse is the one, but no one is on duty there at night..."

Since Yan Qing fell into those people's tricks, the situation at this moment is not going to be very good. The dormitory is so far away from Tianxin After all, the building was still too far away. Being bumped into on the way back would damage her reputation. Besides, she wasn't sure who in this palace would be harmful to her. If those people noticed it, she didn't know what they could do next.

So Jiang Weiren guessed that she was probably taking shelter in a nearby pavilion to wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off.

Since the flower room only grows flowers and trees, there is no inmate on duty. The gardeners rest in the wing at the back.

Jiang Weiren asked two Jinyi guards to guard outside, and he and Chen Min entered the greenhouse together.

It's still the middle of winter in Beijing, but because the hot spring water is introduced into the flower house in Xiuling, you can smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as you enter, as if you are in spring. It is very big inside and is divided into several rooms. The two of them carry a lantern. I searched hard among the flowers and trees, but couldn't see a single figure.

"Sir, I think I went somewhere else..." Chen Min whispered.

At this moment, there was a slight noise in the distance. Jiang Weiren's expression tightened and he immediately followed the sound, extremely anxious.

It turned out that there was a living room on one side of the greenhouse. They didn't know that Yan Qing had ordered someone to place it there after she arrived. She sometimes rested there in the afternoon.

When the lantern in Jiang Weiren's hand illuminated the living room, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Yan Qing was in the corner, huddled and trembling, with an uneasy expression on her face. Normal redness, eyes no longer clear.

"This bunch of bitches!" Chen Min couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

The dignified Queen Mother was actually made to look like this by them.

Jiang Weiren walked in gently, lit the candlestick, and handed the lantern to Chen Min, "Eunuch Chen, you have also seen that Empress Dowager Shengyi looks like this. You can no longer let people outside see her. Leave a guard in golden clothes to guard her. We can't let anyone in outside."

Chen Min nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not appropriate for you to show up, sir. Let our family handle the matters outside. We can't let them really disturb Princess Chongning. Our family This time I brought Master's dental card, no one in this palace dares to make trouble! Our family will deal with all the dirty things before dawn, so that the queen will not be distracted again."

Chen Min followed Jiang Weiren's words and stayed. A man from a hundred households stayed outside and took another person to Tianxin Tower. According to Zhang Fang's instructions, he kept quiet and took care of things well. The damned person must not be left until after dawn.

As soon as Chen Min left, Jiang Weiren and Yan Qing were left in the room.

Seeing that she suffered such humiliation, he almost wanted to cut those people into pieces, and he blamed himself even more. He approached gently and saw blood between her fingers.

The gash in Yan Qing's palm was made by herself. When she woke up and called for help, there was no answer. When she went to open the door, she found that the door was locked. At that time, not only was her mind confused, but she could not exert any strength, so she broke the quilt and cut her palms. She used the pain to wake herself up, and then she had the strength to climb out of the window. With her last strength, she hid in Come to the greenhouse.

Jiang Weiren immediately tore off his robe and bandaged her hand, feeling infinitely sad in his heart. After sighing softly, he reached out and hugged her.

"Qingqing, it's my fault," he whispered in a hoarse voice, "I'm late..."

She still couldn't understand what he was saying. It was like a fire was burning in her body. She had endured it until now. , the mind has been burned out.

Jiang Weiren put her on the heated kang. She was already hot, so she couldn't help but close her eyes and hum.

Her voice was soft and hard to hear, so Jiang Weiren had to bend his head and listen carefully.

But at this moment, she opened her eyes in a daze. Her eyes were misty, her cheeks were red, and the thin sweat on her forehead had wet the hair around her ears. This scene...

Jiang Weiren could only think ... She felt like she was struck by lightning, but she didn't know anything. Because she was too thirsty, she licked her lips.

"Hot, hot..." She murmured painfully, clutching her collar, frowning, and about to cry.

Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Jiang Weiren gritted his teeth, helped her up, let her lean on his shoulder, and removed her outer shirt and the plain gauze singlet underneath, leaving only the underwear underneath. He looked around the house, but unfortunately it was the middle of winter and he couldn't find anything like a round fan. Jiang Weiren had no choice but to use his palm as a fan to fan her.

He came from outside, and his clothes were soaked with cold air. Yan Qing couldn't think clearly. He only felt the coolness, so he threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Jiang Weiren was stunned for a moment and did not dare to move. Yan Qing rubbed herself uncomfortably in his arms while continuing to murmur: "Thirsty, so thirsty..."

He put her on the quilt as if she was being amnesty. , my chest was rumbling, and I could only suppress it and get up to pour her tea.

The water was brought, but she couldn't drink it by herself in this condition. He had to put the tea cup first and then leaned down to help her up, but as soon as he lowered his head, she stretched out her arms to wrap around his Neck.

The two of them were so close that their breath could be heard. Her chest was heaving violently. She was so thirsty, but this time, she touched another person's lips.

For some reason, Mr. Jiang became extremely clumsy at this moment. He was stunned and didn't know how to react. He had no time to react, because the next moment, Yan Qing raised his head and kissed him completely with his lips.
