Seal the palace
The night is deep, the clouds cover the moon, and this night is destined to be unquiet in the cold and lonely city.
There seemed to be a few sharp arguments outside the corridor, and then the door of the Nanmu Hall was suddenly pushed open.
Dressed in red, like the blazing sun, Lin and Lin walked towards the inner room with a faint candlelight. Her steps were very hurried, and for a moment the hall could only hear the sound of her head full of pearls and emeralds.
After impatiently lifting dozens of layers of moonlight yarn, Silent and Lin finally stepped into the misty bath. She swept her eyes, and saw that the beautiful woman's hair was scattered, and her expression was peacefully soaked in the bath of flowers, and she let the maid beside her comb her soft green silk.
"Yo, Concubine Li Xian is so excited today!"
Xianyue's hands hidden under the cascading petals gently supported her slightly convex lower abdomen, and she raised her head slightly, but her eyes were not shocked, "There are many inconveniences for concubines, and I hope that the eldest princess will forgive the concubines for not being careful." ”
"Oh, that's interesting. Nalan Xianyue, your good sister Cui Shuyun is nowhere to be found, but you are burning incense and bathing here with peace of mind? Why aren't you sad at all?"
A drop of clear water dripped from under Xianyue's thick eyelashes, like silent tears, and fell into the sea of petals without a trace. Her cherry-colored lips were slightly raised, but the look in her phoenix eyes was as cold as ice.
"There are too many frustrating things in this world, and the concubines don't know what to be sad about. ”
Seeing the former concubine of the dynasty so decadent, Lin and Lin suddenly felt a burst of happiness in their hearts.
Tonight, although Cui Shuyun was still not found, they unexpectedly found that most of the concubines in the palace were gloomy, and where were they still half of the glory of the past. It seems that these hearts are also like mirrors, presumably they are all worried in advance for the day when their long lives will never come out...... And her long-cherished wish to unify the empire as an empress is bound to be just around the corner.
The candle flame in the bath room was very weak, and Xianyue and Xilan couldn't really see the expression of Lin and Lin at this moment. I saw her Ana pacing close to the bath tub in a multifaceted manner, and her slender hand slowly fell, but after reaching into the water, she suddenly splashed a handful of petals and threw it on Xianyue's face.
"I have to say that among these women in the palace, you are the only one who has the face of Concubine Xian, who makes Gu Jue feel really beautiful. But if you don't tell the truth again, Lone will want your face, which once made Lonely Ze Xiu fascinated, bloom immediately!"
"Shuyun's whereabouts, isn't Lord Lu beside you clearer than anyone in the Cold Silent City?" Xianyue was not shocked, angry, humble or arrogant, she calmly took the handkerchief handed by Hua Yin behind her, and then raised her hand to slowly wipe the petals scattered on her face, "You just ask him carefully, why bother to come to the concubine here to rejuvenate the people?"
"Presumptuous! This matter was reported to him by the little maid of Liyin Palace, and then he personally returned to Yu Gu, how could Cui Shuyun's disappearance be implicated with him?"
Xian Yue's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Eldest Princess, do you really not know how much your subordinate will covet Mrs. Rong Ying?"
Lin was stunned, and he didn't want Xianyue, who was quiet on weekdays, to speak so directly today.
And if you say that you don't know anything, it is naturally false.
When she was supposed to organize a birthday banquet for Cui Shuyun at the suggestion of Xia Lu Yicheng, she had already seen some clues. Although it is well known that Lonely Zexiu has no feelings for this Mrs. Rong Ying, he is also very willing to push the boat down the river and send a green hat to her good brother who is still fighting outside the Saiwai.
"I have heard Shuyun mention many times that this Lord Lu has a deep affection for her, and said that he is willing to give up everything for her and go to the end of the world. Seeing a trace of anger in Lin Helin's eyes, Xianyue said unhurriedly, "I'm afraid that someone is a thief shouting to catch a thief and wants to blind the hearts of others!"
Lin and Lin turned sideways, their eyebrows quietly furrowed slightly.
Lu Yicheng has been effective over the years, and a large part of the reason is that he is scheming and bold, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. She never questioned his loyalty to her, but it was love that was the most misleading thing in the world. And if you think about it carefully, something is really wrong, why did Cui Shuyun, a very caring maid, inform him of this matter as soon as possible after the accident?
At this moment, Lin and Lin had to admit that their hearts were slightly shaken. But even so, she couldn't trust the unfathomable woman in front of her.
"Nalan Xianyue, you'd better not play any tricks on Lonely......"
"Tricks?" Xianyue's graceful jaw raised slightly, calmly looking directly at Yu Lin and Lin's gaze, but her calm eyes seemed to have exhausted all the yearning for life, "The eldest princess really thinks too highly of the concubine! If the concubine has the ability you think, I'm afraid she won't be here a long time ago." ”
Lin and Lin raised their eyebrows, but they didn't expect her to say so bluntly and boldly to herself.
Speaking of which, even sisters who have a good relationship on weekdays do not need to give up their good way out to others at such a desperate juncture. Besides, this cold and lonely city is now blocked by information inside and outside, and the city gates are strictly guarded by heavy soldiers day and night. And with Cui Shuyun's wisdom alone, he couldn't plan this seamless plan. Thinking of this, Lin and Lin suddenly felt a little uneasy, she was not afraid that Cui Shuyun's disappearance would set off some bloody storm. She was just worried about this problem, could it really be her own people as Nalan Xianyue said?
There was very little candlelight in the room, and although she didn't look up, Xianyue could feel that this moment of silence and Lin's figure was a little stiff.
Just a little bit, just a little bit. This pampered princess has always been suspicious by nature, but now that she is suffering from internal and external troubles, her spirit will not be slackened. As long as she has the slightest suspicion of Lu Yicheng at such a juncture, this suspicion will be infinitely magnified in her heart, and it will be difficult to completely dispel it.
Turning his gaze like this, I hope to buy some more time for the clouds. Thinking about this, Xian Yue put her mind at ease slightly, and then lowered her head with a gloomy expression and said quietly, "If the concubine has a loss in words and deeds, I still hope that the eldest princess Haihan." ”
"Oh, it's rare for Concubine Lixian to have such self-knowledge...... "Lin Lin shook her sleeves and turned around, her demeanor was radiant, and she immediately raised her lips slightly, "But you are different from the other concubines in this palace, so why should you be worried? If that day really comes, Lone will also give you the position of concubine for the sake of the Nalan family and protect you for the honor of a lifetime!"
Xianyue instantly subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen hidden in the water, "If it really comes to that day, what will you do with Xue Changzai?"
"That Xue's?" said with a look of contempt in her bowed expression as she pressed her jade fingers on her temples, "For the sake of her being born in such a lowly place, whether it is a man or a woman, she will be merciful." ”
"The concubine thanked the eldest princess for Xue Changzai......"
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, and then I saw a maidservant outside the screen of the bath room, "Princess Qiyu, the palace has been checked, and everything is fine." ”
Lin and Lin Guang shook their sleeves and said with a slightly stunned expression, "Can you turn it carefully?"
The scarlet-clothed maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes." ”
Everyone knows that the arrogant and cold Mrs. Rong Ying is only closer to the master of the Huanxiu Palace on weekdays. This time he disappeared suddenly, and Lin originally wanted to find some clues in the Huanxiu Palace, but he didn't want to get nothing from this trip.
Could it be that Nalan Xianyue's words are really somewhat reasonable? Thinking of this, Lin and Lin suddenly felt a little fire in their hearts, "What a bunch of waste, so many people can't even find a woman...... Zhiying, you take someone to search for Yunchi Palace first. ”
The Yunchi Palace where Jingzhi lives is located on the south side of the Huanxiu Palace.
Hearing this, Xian Yuexiu clenched her fists and couldn't help but feel a little worried, but she couldn't reveal anything on her face. She quietly comforted herself, that secret path was already extremely secret and ingenious, and the pure plant was a seven-trick exquisite heart, which must be able to turn danger into a disaster.
Lin and Lin have never liked this dense light, and they were about to lead everyone away at this moment, but when she raised her eyes and swept Xianyue's silent face, her eyes suddenly flowed, and a wonderful idea suddenly came to her heart.
"Concubine Li Xian, why don't you make a deal with you?" "Lin and Lin took a few steps back to Xianyue's side, looking like they were bound to win, "If you have been doing your duty like this in the future, don't give birth to any moths like Cui Shuyun." Regardless of whether the Xue family gives birth to a boy or a girl, Gu will remove her for you, so that you can be the child's unique housemother with peace of mind. What do you think, what's the idea?"
Inconsequential human life has always been like a mustard in the eyes of Lin and Lin.
Xianyue didn't feel much surprised, just looked up at the light face and said calmly, "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, but the child already has a healthy mother, so why should the concubine intervene again...... If there is really that day, but please abolish the position of the concubine and give the concubine a free body. ”
"Haha, Nalan Xianyue, after you are a hundred years old, Lone will still bury you and your good husband in one place!" The look of surprise in Lone's eyes flickered, replaced by an obvious mockery on his face, "Okay, one less is enough, but Lone has no time to miss the second one." From now on, the palace will be closed immediately, and everyone is strictly forbidden to enter and leave...... Concubine Li Xian, when Gu captures Cui's back, I will definitely invite you to come and see how Gu is dealt with her!"
After speaking, Lin and Lin led a group of horses and horses to brush their sleeves without looking back.
