concubine on top

Chapter 64

The autumn night is cold and frosty.In the autumn dew garden, where the palace lanterns are all extinguished, the two stone lanterns in front of Tuliu's gate are bright, faintly illuminating a small piece of red wall of the palace, but the green tiles on the top are completely black.

Shen Yanchuan, dressed in night clothes, landed gently on the roof of Qiulu Garden in the sound of the wind, squatted down and gently moved a piece of tile away, but there were subtle human voices coming from inside, and the tongue-rolling utterances were all Wu Zan's language.

Shen Yanchuan had learned a little bit, but he was not proficient, so he had to lean over and listen carefully, hoping to memorize the next part, and then ask a translator for advice.

A male voice said: "Goddess, the best opportunity has been missed."

Shen Yanchuan understood the word "goddess", and pressed his ear a little lower, and he heard a soft voice: "The best time?"

The voice came from Concubine Tong.

In the dark and dark room, Concubine Tong took out a lamp and put it on the table.There was no fire in the lamp, and it emitted a circle of cold light, which could barely illuminate her hand resting on the table: "What you miss may not be the best."

The man stood outside the range that Yinhui could see, sighed like a ghost, and spoke again: "Such a short distance, such a chaotic scene, it is impossible to reproduce it a second time."

There was a piercing chill in Concubine Tong's voice: "Are you blaming me?"

"I don't intend to offend the Goddess." The man's tone changed immediately, kneeling as he said, "I just feel sorry."

Concubine Tong listened and said nothing.

The man continued: "Recently, they have had a good time talking about the mutual market. If the negotiation is successful, it is possible to form an alliance in the future. It will be a great threat to Uzan. Please give the goddess an order as soon as possible, and let us do it!"

Concubine Tong glanced at him, her eyes fluttering like mercury: "You came here today to tell what I already know, right?"

"..." The man lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "What the king means is that the sooner we start, the better. If it comes to winter, the insects will die or sleep, and we will not be able to exert our advantages."

Concubine Tong sneered: "Morning? I'm in the harem, I can only plan, I can't act according to circumstances, and I am passive. If I rush forward and make a wrong step, all the spies will be affected. Whichever is more important, you don't know." Do you understand?"

As if to comfort the displeased her, the man's tone softened a lot, and he made a faithful promise: "We are ready and promise not to leave any clues to threaten you."

"Naive!" Concubine Tong scolded softly, "Last time you failed to kill Shen Yanchuan with one blow, and the other party has already raised their vigilance. If Beishuo's envoy died in the palace, based on my identity, they would not be able to find any clues. Doubt me."

"Shen Yanchuan." The man repeated the name through gritted teeth, "Because of him, so many poisonous bees that have been carefully bred have been damaged... He is just a stumbling block, why don't we make another move to avoid future troubles forever!"

"And then sacrifice another person?" Concubine Tong stood up and slapped that person crisply, "Tang Di is no longer the Tang Di who believed everything he said before. He had to rely on Shen Yanchuan, but now Shen Yanchuan is right He has the grace of saving his life, and the two of them are even more inseparable, if Shen Yanchuan dies, he will absolutely hold on to it, and then we will be the ones who will be troublesome."

The man covered his face and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, it's my subordinate who didn't think well..."

Concubine Tong waved her sleeves, and the sleeves flickered slightly: "That's enough, I have another opinion on this matter, you go back first, and say that after the envoys leave the palace, everything the king wants will be available."

The man responded, and retreated into the deeper darkness, but jumped out from the window in the southeast corner of the house.

What these two people were talking about, Shen Yanchuan could only understand what they discussed about himself and the little emperor. In the end, because of disagreement, Concubine Tong gave the man a big mouth in dissatisfaction and kicked him out. Door.

The bedroom was dark again, Shen Yanchuan hurriedly covered the tiles, and followed the figure who hurried away as lightly as a swallow.The other party ran out from the back door of Qiulu Garden, avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, and when passing a stone lantern somewhere, he realized that he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary court lady.

The corners of Shen Yanchuan's mouth twitched into a half-smile - and in the Taihong Palace, it was not a precedent for him to disguise himself as a woman.

The man ran all the way to the edge of the bamboo bushes in the corner of the harem, and carefully looked left and right.

Shen Yanchuan hid his aura and figure, peeked at him from the dark place, and saw him pull up his skirt and walk towards the river, and jumped in with a "plop"!

Shen Yanchuan hurriedly chased to the shore, took off his robe and threw it into the bamboo bushes, and then jumped into the water.

The river was cold in autumn night, and the bottom was extremely dark. He sensed the direction of the man's swimming through the current, and after diving in, he swam a few times before touching a row of rusty iron fences.

At this moment, Shen Yanchuan felt that the man had passed through the iron fence and swam in front of him, so he groped down, and soon he touched two iron bars that were bent to both sides.

It seems that some people have used this road to connect the inside and outside of the palace for a long time.

Shen Yanchuan was familiar with the waterway map of the palace, but finding an interpreter at the moment was obviously more important than tracking someone who might enter the palace, so he went back the same way without thinking, went ashore, put on his clothes and left.

After leaving the translation office, Shen Yanchuan quietly returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after a busy day and night.

"emperor?"

The little emperor blew out the lamp and was about to go to sleep, when he heard Shen Yanchuan calling him softly, he immediately jumped up and wanted to hug him, but he was unable to hug him in a rush: "Why are you hiding!"

Shen Yanchuan took a step back: "After running outside for a day, I just wiped my face and hands, and I haven't changed my clothes yet."

"Do you think I hate you? I have seen you lying on the dragon bed for ten days without washing your hair when you were injured." The little emperor lifted the quilt and patted the soft mattress to greet him, "Take off your coat and come in. I have something to say to you."

Both sides had something to say, Shen Yanchuan didn't refuse anymore, took off his dusty coat, trousers and headscarf, turned them over and put them on the ground, and then got into bed wearing a relatively clean inner coat.

As soon as he lay down on his side, the little emperor, like a ripe fruit, fell into his arms without hesitation, and kissed his lips with a "pop" sound.

Shen Yanchuan curled the corners of his lips in the darkness, and gently put his arms around his waist: "What does the emperor want to say?"

A low laugh came to mind from above: "I have a good idea about the mutual market."

"What is it?"

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish." The little emperor excitedly told him his thoughts, "If we can exchange some solutions to problems that both parties are interested in in the mutual market, there will be a better relationship between Taihong and Beishuo. It's easy to maintain friendly relations."

"Like what's the problem?"

"For example, how to breed good horses with fast endurance, how to improve the soil texture to make them suitable for sowing, how to transplant honey fragrance trees...etc."

Shen Yanchuan pondered for a while: "If it is done well, it will be a matter of mutual benefit."

"That's right!" The little emperor hugged his neck, "And you think! If the people's lives improve, Beishuo's will to start a war will not be so strong, because the reason why Beishuo wants to beat us is entirely It’s because the people there are living a rough life!”

“How come you see?”

The little emperor said "Hi" and said, "You don't know, today I tasted their local specialties, a cake that was as big as my face! It almost broke my teeth! No wonder they ate it these days. When it comes to food, you can’t see your teeth—this is something you’ve never eaten before!”
