These words have been swirling in my heart since I overheard the arguing words of the Wu brothers and sisters on the Taiye Pond boat that day. When he said this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The queen had reached out to help me up, and said softly, "You are indeed a good person." Even if others know these words, they are worried about committing taboos, and where can they say them so clearly. This palace comes from the Langya Wang family, although the Wang family is a descendant, but it has always been strict in dressing and etiquette, monarchs and ministers, and has never had the ambition to hold authority. But the Wu clan is an upstart in this dynasty, and the family style is different, so the people who think and seek are also different. With heavy troops in hand, it is indeed necessary to take precautions, and the palace will remind His Majesty as appropriate. ”

I smiled and bowed away.

Out of Yongning Palace, Jin Wuxi sank, and the sky was beginning to darken. The cold north wind whistled from the narrow palace alley on the side, blowing the sable wind hair on the silver-purple satin daze, and I felt more and more chills on my body. Cuinong and Ruyi helped me up to my shoulder, and handed over the blazing brass hand stove inlaid with sapphire sapphires. I put the stove on my lap and tucked it together in the big pot, and I felt better.

The attendant who carried the public was walking steadily, and I closed my eyes slightly. His mind never stopped, and he went over what happened in the Kunning Hall today. couldn't help but be lucky, so there was a lot of turmoil, but fortunately they all broke through.

Looking out of the closed eyes, the dark red palace walls on both sides of the shoulders stood silently. It's like a curtain slowly unfolding on the stage, let life in the palace be like a play, how many springs and autumns have you come and gone. They were also silent and unmoving.

Suddenly I shuddered involuntarily.

As they passed through the Imperial Garden, several jackdaws flew through the dreary mid-air and croaked roughly. Cui Nong glanced in the direction where the jackdaw flew, and came over and whispered in my ear: "Liangyuan, look over there, the people in the pavilion are like Deng Si?"

Looking out from the height of his shoulder, he happened to be able to see the back of Deng Si decorated with a dark brown embroidered gold sprinkled flower gown in the agarwood pavilion half blocked by a thick withered vine: his shoulders trembled slightly, as if - hiding here and crying alone?

I raised my hand and told my shoulder to stop. "Today's things can be good, thanks to her fairness and outspokenness. Tsuinong came with me to have a look. ”

As soon as I walked to the edge of the Agarwood Pavilion, I heard the sound of us trampling on the dead branches, and Deng Si suddenly turned his head - sure enough, there were tears on his face. Seeing that it was me and the maid, he hurriedly turned around and wiped away his tears with his sleeves, turned his head and bowed his knees, and said, "I've seen Liangyuan." He also disguised himself: "The servant is old, and his old eyes are crying in the wind." If there is a loss of etiquette, I hope Liangyuan will forgive me. ”

I walked into the pavilion, handed the handkerchief over, and said warmly: "The mood in the palace is not good, and tears are really common. Let's just say that I, during the days when I was imprisoned in the Huiyin Palace, I don't know how many tears I shed. But when the moon is bright, sometimes I feel that all those tears have been thrown in vain. It's better to be indifferent, keep your heart, and live calmly. ”

Deng Si played Nuo Nuo answered, but lowered his head and didn't want to say anything.

I straightened the corners of my skirt and sat down on the royal blue flower mat laid by Emerald Brown. looked up at Deng Si and said, "Deng Si has been in the palace for many years. Today is just a small storm, can you still not see through it, so that you are so sad?"

Deng Si shook his head slightly, a little embarrassed: "Lian Si is old, and I am really ashamed to rely on you to explain." No matter how long she has been in the palace, she can't be indifferent to human life. She choked up, "Luo Zhangzhu has been practicing incense beside me since he entered the palace since he was a child. When I came out of the bureau today, she smiled and asked me to go back early. But I didn't expect that even if I went back early, our master and apprentice would be separated forever. ”

The matter involves the safety of Shengyao, and I am not suitable to judge anything at this time for the death of Luo Zhang, so I smiled indifferently and did not speak. Deng Liansi continued: "I myself am a cold person, intoxicated with incense, and do not like to be bound by mundane affairs. The apprentice he taught is also a simple and simple person, and he will never do anything bad to harm the royal family. The day the truth of this matter is revealed, it must also be the time to return Luo's innocence. If the servant knows who she has harmed, he will avenge her!"

When he said the last sentence, the voice was poignant. Ruyi, who was standing outside the pavilion and waiting, raised his eyes and glanced at her.

I saw that Deng Si's face was pale from the cold, and I don't know how long she had been crying here. Then he persuaded: "If the Court Bureau wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, most of them must start with the people of the Decoration Bureau. Let's go back sooner, I've nourished my spirits, and I'll be able to deal with it tomorrow. ”

Deng Liansi bowed deeply, "Thank you." ”

She looked at the withered vines outside the pavilion, and suddenly laughed mockingly: "I don't know how many people laugh at me today, because I said that the sachet is different, and I thought I could please the queen and the prince." But I don't want to be suspicious, but the bureau under my jurisdiction. A few of them even came together to ridicule me for self-inflicted and self-inflicted consequences. Lian Si naturally doesn't like to argue with others, let alone quarrel, so she hid in the Agarwood Pavilion. ”

I pondered for a moment and comforted: "Some people just have the character of doing nothing and harming others and themselves, so why bother with such people. However, if the right talent Deng Si did not listen to his heart and took the initiative to point out that there was a problem with the sachet. This will be the most suspicious of the entire Divisional Bureau, including you. It is precisely because you have a pure mind that you smelled, thought, and saw at that time, and said it directly. only for yourself to gain decency, and to make meritorious contributions in front of His Royal Highness and the Empress. And why doubt your choice at that time because of the ridicule of a few villains. ”

I smiled slightly: "Si Jie think about it, isn't this reasonable?"

Deng Liansi was stunned for a while, and suddenly curtsied and said: "Liangyuan's vision and heart are better than Liansi's, and after listening to Liangyuan's words, Liansi's heart suddenly brightened." I'm ashamed to have been so old for so many years. ”

Seeing that she was all right, I stood up and placed the brass handstove inlaid with sapphire in her cold hand. Moved to the stone path outside the pavilion and held Ruyi's hand on his shoulder.

Deng Liansi hurried over, holding the hand stove a little helplessly, "How can Liansi be virtuous, and Liangyuan will send charcoal in the snow?"

My voice was mixed with the sound of the wind, and it came over the shoulders that were gradually moving away, "Just take it as Xiaoguan's pity and respect for those who are intoxicated and have no distractions." ”

Looking up at the already dark sky, I couldn't help but let out a long breath: what a long day, making people physically and mentally exhausted!

When I returned to the Huiyin Palace, I hastily had dinner, and then asked Cuinong to take off the hairpin ring for me and rest.

I don't know how long I slept, and I heard the voices of the maids outside the hall in a daze. I was so sleepy that I didn't want to open my eyes. After a while, someone lifted the curtain, and suddenly a blinding candlelight came in. I rested the back of my hand on my eyes, frowned, and asked, "Who?"
