August 13, 45th year of Hong Xuan, Prince Xu, Nickname Literature.leenu/books/1/1378/

The seventh chapter of the night.

The East Palace is set up with Su Hu. Emperor Xuan wore a soapy head and mourned.

The eyes behind the palace are full of maple leaves, and they fall when the wind moves.

In the distance, the clear corner blows cold, whimpering. The morning bell in the palace is drummed at dusk, and Xiao Suo is sad.

Since Yuan Mingjiang went, Emperor Xuan's spirit has gradually disappeared, the older he gets, the worse his body is as good as before, and every time he hears people mention the East Palace, he bursts into tears.

From time to time, I often stand up the window and look at it, and the feelings of thinking about the child are clearly visible.

Seeing this, the ministers were very worried, and they all sent advice to comfort the emperor's mourning.

Under this situation, no one in the court dared to mention the matter of establishing another crown prince.

The country mourns for a month, and the fast is not yet complete.

Yuan Xihe heard that Emperor Xuan's dragon body was sick at the imperial doctor's office, so he knelt outside the palace in plain clothes and asked to go to Putuo Temple to copy the scriptures, and pray for his brother to be blessed for His Majesty. Emperor Xuan was grateful for his filial piety, and thought that she was about to marry far away soon, and his heart was reluctant.

I wanted to stay with Yuan Xihe for a while, but seeing her sincerity, I finally sighed and agreed to come down.

Guiyan Palace.

After serving in front of the palace for several days, Nie Guifei was also a little overwhelmed.

On this day, Concubine He and Chu Cairen were watching over there, and it was rare that she could stay in the palace to rest for a while.

Just after lunch, Chuan Qiong saw that she looked tired and didn't use anything at noon, so he stepped forward and asked: "Later, Niangniang will go to the Imperial Palace to visit His Majesty, why don't you help you go to rest for a while, and you can be more energetic later." His Majesty's body is important, but Niangniang also has to take care of herself!"

Nie Rufan is dressed with light makeup, although she looks different from the fresh and elegant of the past, but the things that follow come and go, and she works continuously day and night, and the tiredness in the corners of her eyes can not be hidden.

Rubbing the swollen forehead, Nie Rufan shook his head slowly, turned his head and said to Yin Zhu: "You go to Yun Yanxuan to call Jiu'er, you have been busy since you came back from Xishan, and I haven't seen her in this palace for a long time." ”

"If she's already asleep, tell her to come back later today. Seeing that Yinzhu was just about to leave, she added.

Yin Zhu retreated, and Nie Rufan squinted at her distant back.

After a while, he turned to look at the open-carved wood peach vine on the flying cover, beaming with joy and strange love. The mood seemed to be much better, and he said softly without hurrying: "Now the wind is very tight, and the entire Guiyan Palace can't tolerate anyone who doesn't have a long eye to say a wrong word or do half a mistake." ”

Following her gaze, Chuan Qiong knew what she was referring to, and nodded in response: "The slave has already explained, if there are still people who dare to talk nonsense at this critical juncture, they will not be spared." ”

Yun Yanxuan was not far from here, and after a while, Xin Yi came in and said that Princess Shuyi was here.

After she saluted, Nie Rufan motioned for her to sit beside her: "Since I came back from Xishan, I haven't been able to take care of you in the palace for a few times, and if there is any shortage, I will ask the flower note to get it." ”

"It was Shuyi who couldn't come to say hello to the mother, which made the mother worry. ”

Nie Rufan nodded, and said with a smile: "You are not young, but you are more awake." Look at your imperial sister, knowing that Your Majesty is not in good health, she has to copy the scriptures before getting married. ”

"It's strange to say, the Taimiao in the palace doesn't go, so I have to go to Putuo Temple all the way without bothering. ”

"Erchen Shicai also heard about it, the imperial sister is careful, always thoughtful, and thinks that she can be the prince-"

Speaking of Yuan Mingjiang, Yuan Jiu suddenly changed his tone, "Mother, brother of the prince, he" looked at Nie Rufan, who looked indifferent, and wanted to stop talking, wanting to ask, but he was afraid that his exit would make people angry.leenu/books/1/1379/

Wedding night. She still remembers what her mother said she wanted to plan for her.

Tracing the gold-painted patterns on the porcelain with his fingertips, Nie Rufan raised his head casually and glanced at her meaningfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go into the mountains to hunt by himself, and no one can stop him, and Li He also persuaded him on the day when the palace heard the humanity of the East Palace, but he didn't use it." It's a pity that the prince is not so blessed. ”

Yuan Jiusi couldn't help but think of what Gong Hui Jin said to her that night, and after a little hesitation, she still asked: "Brother Prince won't enter the mountain for no reason, he must have heard that there is something in the mountain——"

All kinds of worries are intertwined in one place.

Hearing the "bang" of the table, Nie Rufan slammed the teacup on the table, her beautiful eyes narrowed, her voice was light but her tone was much heavier, and she said sarcastically: "His legs are long on him, who can lead him away?"

Yuan Jiu was stunned for a moment, and he had the impression that Nie Rufan had never spoken to her in such a tone, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Niangniang has been tired and busy all the time, but she still thinks about the princess all the time. Why didn't the princess ask the mother a few more words?" Seeing this, Chuan Qiong hurriedly played a round and said to Yuan Jiusi with a smile.

Standing up for a long time, Yuan Jiusi lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "Mother, there is something that someone said to his sons that the signal incense used by the imperial brother that day was wet, not soaked in blood. Someone — "

"But someone infiltrated it beforehand?" Nie Rufan raised his eyebrows, interface.

This also makes sense, the sound of the signal incense exploding is loud, and the light emitted is extremely strong, if it is lit, it is impossible not to notice it within a radius of ten miles, and there are so many guards under the mountain.

But on the day of Yuan Mingjiang's disappearance, there was no unusual movement in the forest at all.

It was getting late, and the people in the North Hall didn't wait for the figure to go to report to His Majesty.

But who would have such a mind?

"Who told you these words, Gong Hui Jin?" Nie Rufan's expression gradually became solemn, and his eyes were fixed on her.

I am afraid that the only people who know Yuan Jiusi in the middle of the court are Lang Yuege and Gong Hui Jin.

And this time, there is Gong Hui Jin who is accompanying him in the autumn of Xishan, and it is not surprising to guess him when it comes to this ability. Since you know that it is wet and cannot be used, then you will not save it when you die?

Yuan Jiusi didn't speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

After a long time, Nie Rufan's eyes softened a lot, and he sighed meaningfully: "This palace can see that Lang Yuege likes you." In fact, aside from the Lang family, he is indeed a good destination, at least simpler than Gong Hui Jin's mind. ”

But now that Yuan Mingjiang is dead, she bears the brunt of Langhong's suspicions. I'm afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry and point all the fingers at him.

Caught in the middle, Nie Rufan decided not to believe that Lang Yuege would betray his father. It was just when the last glimmer of possibility was gone that she dared to think about him again without scruples.

"I don't know what the relationship between Gong Hui Jin and you is. It's just that Jiu'er listened to the advice of his mother, don't have thoughts about him that he shouldn't have Mingzhe to protect his life, everyone understands the truth of protecting his life, he has promised in front of His Majesty - he doesn't want to, and he won't have anything to do with you. ”

Paying attention to Yuan Jiusi's demeanor, she said slowly.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Nie Rufan told her exactly what he heard in Xishan.

Regardless of whether Gong Hui Jin was covering up in front of Emperor Xuan, since he said it, he naturally had this meaning.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yuan Jiusi's face stiffened, and although he had the heart to suppress it, his expression was still getting more and more embarrassed.leenu/books/1/1380/

Life and Death Sniper [Crossing].

It was as if he suddenly panicked, and his heart became extremely empty in an instant.

When he came back to his senses, Yuan Jiusi was full of fear.

What she was afraid of was not that Gong Hui Jin had said such a thing, but that she was afraid that she would care about what he said and how she looked at herself.

Facing Shang Nie Rufan's inquiring eyes, she hurriedly pretended to be calm and said: "Mother don't worry, it's true that as Lord Shangqing said, Erchen has only spoken to him a few times in Guoyong Prison, and it has nothing to do with him, so naturally it is impossible to have any thoughts about him." ”

Seeing Yuan Jiusi smiling reluctantly, Nie Rufan shook his head slowly.

Leaned over and took her hand, quite a drunkard who didn't mean to drink: "Your imperial brother is dead, and it would be better if Jiu'er had him to help him at this time——"

"But no one in the world will risk it to help you for no reason. I don't know what the two of you have in private, but the last result is chosen by yourself. No matter what situation you are in, Jiu'er must protect herself and keep what you deserve. She spoke softly, as if she were sighing.

was told that he had something in his heart, Yuan Jiusi's heart trembled, and he nodded busily, not daring to look at her: "Erchen knows." ”

·

When Yuan Jiusi left in despair, Chuan Qiong glanced out worriedly.

Looking at Nie Guifei, who had been in a good time, she hesitated and asked: "Actually, Niangniang just needs to pay attention and secretly find an appropriate time to solve it, why do you want to poke it in front of the princess and let her strangle it with her own hands?"

"Shuyi, she's not young, you see it's already autumn, and in a few months it will be time for her to become an adult. Nie Rufan laughed, and the corners of his eyes were warm.

"If you want to be an emperor, how can you not even give up this little love?"

I don't know who is behind it.

There are so many people who use signal incense, why is it only Yuan Mingjiang's wet.

Xian Yin Palace, Tao Ran Ju.

The previous handkerchief embroidered with magnolia flowers was stained with sulfur charcoal, and there was no need to leave it, so Yuan Xihe let Coltsung throw it away when he was in Xishan. Idle, she simply stretched the brocade again, thinking about embroidering another one.

"Princess, Your Majesty deliberately left you in the palace to accompany you, why do you want to go to Putuo Temple at this time?"

It is now a national funeral, and the marriage originally scheduled for autumn has to be postponed again and again.

His Majesty's heirs are thin, and he thinks that if the princess can take care of her during this time, there may be a turn for the better when she marries Nanping.

Originally, today's kneeling Emperor Xuan knew the princess's thoughts.

Citrus still thought that it would be enough to stop at the point, but she didn't even make a show.

Yuan Xihe Jing embroidered his own embroidered surface, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Recalling what she did with Butterbur in the side hall of the treasury that day, if she could explain it in person that day, the imperial brother might still have a chance to survive

I couldn't sleep day and night.

She didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and she had to doubt it at the moment.

Going to Putuo Temple to recite and copy scriptures is not to overtake the dead and pray for good health.

but for herself.

In order to ask the Buddha to have mercy on her and forgive her for the sins she committed.
