Concubine Li's death was ultimately attributed to accidental drowning, the little golden concubine fell ill due to excessive blood loss due to slippery fetus, and the queen was reprimanded for poor management of the harem and lost the right to control the harem. The fourth prince was furious because he didn't answer when he was asked about political affairs in the upper study, and immediately fined him fifty boards.

The case was confusing, but it was in line with the emperor's wishes, and those who made mistakes were punished, and they were not too deeply implicated.

Liu Yunxiang also knew in his heart that if he wanted to bring down Jin You, he needed to uproot the forces behind her.

But it's really hard for her mayflies to do it.

It had been a long time since that night.

Last night it snowed again, and it was getting colder and colder. The emperor sent someone to send two mink velvet coats, and the queen mother ordered Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi to send one to the eldest princess of Heshuo.

This eldest princess Heshuo did not live in the six palaces of the east and west, but in the inner city outside the palace, from the hanging flower gate in the west back garden, and went through a long road to the Rumeng Pavilion where she lived.

The eldest princess of Heshuo has no position, and it is not proper to live in the palace, but her status is noble, and she is very favored by the emperor, so she opened a small door in the west back garden and placed her in the quiet Rumeng Pavilion.

"But why didn't the emperor crown Princess Heshuo?" said Wanyi puzzled.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "Maybe it's because the eldest princess of Heshuo is unwilling?"

"Why?"

Remember https://m in a second.

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, but she thought that such a beautiful, so gentle, and kind-hearted person, if she really became a concubine of the emperor, it would be a pity.

Entering through the corner gate at the end of the corridor, they arrived at the Rumeng Pavilion, where a maidservant led them inside.

This is like a dream pavilion full of winter plums, and this is the season of blooming, clusters of clusters, blooming like a brocade. Especially yesterday it snowed, overwhelming, snow and plum contrast, snow whiter, plum more delicate.

At this time, the wind came, and the snow fell down, which blinded people's eyes, but between the noses was a clearer fragrance of flowers.

The road is not long, and it seems to have come to an end quickly, but it is a world when it turns. It was as if walking in the plum blossom array, turning in a daze, and then suddenly found that he had arrived in front of the courtyard gate.

When I entered the courtyard, I could still see two plum blossoms, but unlike the delicate red plums outside, these two were plain plums, with white petals, which melted together with the snow last night.

"Wait a minute, and the slave and maid will go in and report it. "Then keep Liu Yunxiang and them in front of the door.

As the maidservant pushed open the door, Liu Yunxiang heard the sound of the wooden fish with the bell, and under the tranquility, it suddenly seemed to be outside the world, transcendent in the world and the world.

After a while, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the maidservant girl came out.

"Our master invited you two into the house. ”

Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi entered the house, although there was a brazier burning in the house, it was really cold. There is no furniture, there is a Buddha statue hanging in the main hall, there is a confession below, and the Buddha incense is burned on the table.

The eldest princess of Heshuo knelt on the futon, and was helped up by the maidservant. Xu has been kneeling for a long time, and her legs are weak when she gets up.

"Empress Dowager Lao, her old man remembered. Her voice was very soft, and she smiled kindly, "The palace also has something for the Queen Mother, so please bother the two of you to bring it back." ”

Saying that, the eldest princess walked to the west house, Liu Yunxiang and the others also followed, the inner room was very warm, there was a warm collapse, there was an arhat bed, there was a makeup, there were a few paintings on the wall, and there were men's clothes hanging on the screen.

The eldest princess of Heshuo picked up the scroll from the case, "This is the "Diamond Sutra" that I copied in gold ink for the Queen Mother, you can hand it over to the Queen Mother for the palace." ”

Wanyi stepped forward to take it, and the eldest princess Heshuo remembered something, and walked out again, "By the way, you bring a few plum blossoms back to the Queen Mother." ”

When the eldest princess walked out, her legs and feet were not very neat, and her brows wrinkled with every step. She went outside and tiptoed to break the plum branches.

"This branch is blooming well. ”

Seeing that she was a little struggling, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to help, "This branch is also blooming well." ”

The eldest princess tilted her head and glanced at her, "Do you like this plum blossom?"

"Like. ”

The eldest princess of Heshuo broke a few branches, "I'll give you these few branches." ”

Back in Luohan Palace, the Queen Mother looked at the "Diamond Sutra" and those plum blossoms, and said with a smile: "She has a heart." ”

Liu Yunxiang mentioned the matter of the eldest princess's leg pain again, and the queen mother sighed: "According to her, it is an old problem, you go to Zhou Lihuai and ask him to prepare a box of ointment, and you will send it to Rumeng Pavilion when you go back." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes." ”

The next day, Liu Yunxiang went to Tai Hospital to get the ointment and sent it to Rumengge.

The small door of Rumeng Pavilion was open, and there was no guard, Liu Yunxiang thought about it and went in, walking along the path in the plum forest, going around, and after a while, he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

At this time, there was a sound in front, Liu Yunxiang thought it was a subordinate, hurriedly ran over a few steps, turned a corner, and saw the emperor coming with the guards and eunuchs. She hurriedly bent down and stepped aside.

The emperor drank wine, was already a little drunk, walked staggeringly, and muttered something as he walked.

She liked plum blossoms, so I planted a garden full of plum blossoms for her, but she didn't appreciate it, and hung herself on the plum tree. I buried her with my own hands, and I wanted to burn down this Dream Pavilion, but I was reluctant, and now I finally have a new owner. Haha, I don't have to be her, no, never!"

Fortunately, the emperor didn't pay attention to the palace maid who retreated to the side, and left while talking drunk.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled and thought to himself, who is this 'she'?

She continued to walk, because she was thinking about things, and she went astray as she walked, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had come to a path, and there were red plums in full bloom all around, and there was no way to see the road at all.

On this cold day, she didn't want to be trapped here. She hurriedly walked back, but soon came to the fork in the road, she hesitated left and right for a long time, gritted her teeth and walked towards the right-hand side.

The plum grove is very dense, and the delicate plum blossoms are squeezed one by one, and when you walk by, a trace of breath can blow off a few petals. It seemed that he was going deeper and deeper, and Liu Yunxiang was thinking about whether to go in the other direction, when he seemed to see something through the layers of plum blossoms.

She stooped down, burrowed inside, and looked up again to see a grave.

The head of the tomb was covered with a layer of snow, and it was covered with red and bright plum petals, and in front of it stood a stone tablet with four words engraved on it: 'Tomb of Yanyan'.

Yeon-yeon?

It should be a woman, and it's her milk name.

Liu Yunxiang remembered the two drunken words he heard from the emperor just now, this woman named Yanyan should be the original hostess of Rumeng Pavilion, because she likes plum blossoms, the emperor planted plum blossoms all over the garden for her.

But the woman hung herself......

Liu Yunxiang looked at the tombstone and suddenly had an idea, but he didn't dare to study it in detail, and he felt chills all over his body just thinking about it.

At this time, a gust of wind rose, and plum blossoms fell with snow silk, Liu Yunxiang looked up at the front and saw a high wall.

She looked at the tomb again, and thought to herself that this woman had been imprisoned here for many, many years, and even if she died, she could not escape.
