A shadow suddenly froze between the pillars of the palace, never moving again. www.biquge.info Xia Hao stretched out a hand and slammed the window open to the limit, stared at the shadow with cold eyes, and said coldly again, "Come out." ”

The shadow slowly moved from the palace pillar to the ground, and the yellow light extended the length of the shadow on the ground, shining on the back of the shadow owner, who was short in stature, and the bun on his head was not the palace maid's bun, it turned out to be a eunuch. The wind filled the eunuch's garment, and the hunt rattled. His voice was also weakened by the wind, and he trembled in the ups and downs of the wind, but fortunately he was not confused,—— "Returning to the saint, the slave is ascending." ”

"So it's you, what are you doing here?"

"Back to the saint, the third prince has entered the palace, and the slave has come to ask the saint. If the three princes come and ask to see the Holy One, will the Holy One see him or not?"

Xia Hao didn't answer immediately, looked around the window, saw that only one person was standing outside the window, and asked, "Did Ge Yun ask you to come?"

"Back to the saint, it was precisely because the slave didn't see the chief manager Ge that he rashly came to ask the saint first. ”

A gust of wind blew, and the palace window opened by Xia Hao was slammed shut, making a "bang" sound, Xia Hao reopened the palace window after a while, and saw that Rongsheng was still standing on the edge of the palace pillar, and the shadow was still motionless in the original place, and slowly said, "Listen carefully, if the third prince comes and asks to see me, none of you are allowed to pay attention to him." If I want to see him, I will naturally call him. ”

Rongsheng immediately responded, turned around and was about to leave, Xia Hao stopped him and said, "You just stand outside the hall, wait for Ge Yun to come, and tell him." ”

Rong Sheng also responded, standing outside the door with his hands down and his head down, the shadow was motionless, as if he was also the palace pillar outside the Douzhu Pavilion. Xia Hao looked at his back for a while, then slowly closed the palace window again, turned around and looked at Xie Yao, and also looked at it for a while before saying, "Xie Shilang, you are a talent personally recommended by Mu Shangshu, he is my right-hand man, and you are his right-hand man, I have to rely on you to manage the country, you go down." ”

Xie Yao retreated, and when he opened the palace gate, a bolt of lightning brightened the heavy sky, and brightened the darkness in front of the Douzhu Pavilion that was not illuminated by the lights. There was thunder rolling in the heavy sky, but I didn't know when it would explode, which only made people feel uncomfortable, and they wished they could finish it quickly. The eunuch named Rongsheng stood outside the door, saw Xie Yao leaving, and said "Congratulations to Xie Shilang", Xie Yao nodded at Rongsheng, and took a step to leave. He walked towards the outside of the palace facing north, and in the distance behind him, two figures turned out of Shanghua Gate, walking hurriedly, and were rushing to the Chongtai Palace. The palace people waiting outside the hall saw that his face was very gloomy, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at him, so they hurriedly saluted him. Xia Zihe stood in front of the door of the Chongtai Palace, looking at the lights in the hall that would close the doors and windows brightly, he opened his mouth to ask the palace people outside the hall, but he did not ask Xia Hao if he was in the hall, but asked where Ge Yun was. He has always acted unscrupulously, but at this moment, he had to ask Ge Yun about the situation first, which shows that Concubine Jiang Defei's demotion is like a bolt from the blue to him, and his actions have been restrained a little.

Another lightning bolt, the roaring thunder surging overhead, the sky may have broken a hole, the night rain poured in, the palace people who had no time to dodge on the palace road hurriedly ran under the eaves, or continued to march in the rain, or opened the umbrella that had been prepared long ago, the palace lamp in the hand was weak in the pouring rain, the wind came to roll it, the rain came to pour it, it was like a lost firefly in the wind and rain, it will lose its light and heat at any time.

Ge Yun stood under the eaves of the palace, and the raindrops the size of beans were flying wantonly with the wind, which was annoying to be clammy and cold. Ge Yun shook his head at Xia Zihe, who was frowning in front of him, and explained, "This happened suddenly, at that time, there were only two people in the house, Shengshang and Concubine De Niangniang, what they talked about, the slave didn't know anything, only knew that the atmosphere was very quiet, and neither of them had quarreled anything, but when the lamp saint came out, he made this will." If the third prince wants to know what is going on, I'm afraid he can only ask the saint and Concubine De, but it's best not to ask at this moment, Concubine De is locked up and confined to it, so I can't ask if I can't see it, the third prince, it's better to listen to the slave's advice, it's getting late, and I'll talk about it another day, how about it?"

"But after tonight, after tomorrow morning, the holy decree of the official demotion of the concubine will be announced to the world, and when the time comes, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there will be no room for redemption. ”

"Why should the third prince be in a hurry," Ge Yun turned his head to look at the brightly lit palace, and his voice lowered again, "The status of the harem concubines is not all only going up, or only going down, but also first suppressing and then rising. Concubine De Niangniang was degraded instead of being abolished, then there will be a comeback, the three princes, don't forget, the mother is expensive by the son, and the son is proud because of the mother, this is dependent on each other, as long as it is not neither, there is still a possible opportunity. What's more, the Holy One is the king of a country, and every word is true, is it really a good thing to let the Holy One take back his fate? If the three princes are entangled in the idea that they will be irretrievable after tonight, will it be possible that they want to follow the old path of the great prince?"

Xia Zihe's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the lightning brightened his sad brows, and before he could illuminate a smile on his lips, the bright light of the lightning had disappeared between heaven and earth. Xia Zihe arched his hand at Ge Yun and thanked him heartily, "Thanks to Father-in-law Ge for mentioning something, otherwise, Zihe doesn't know how to make things stiff, this kindness, Jiang and this prince will definitely remember it in their hearts, and they will never live up to it, and they will repay each other in the future." ”

Ge Yun hurriedly pushed Xia Zihe's hand back, shook his head unbearably, and said, "The third prince is a smart person, this matter came suddenly, the third prince was not disrupted, and he could invite a slave to come in advance, it is the third prince who can afford a slave, how dare the slave know everything." ”

He leaned over to Xia Zihe's ear and said softly, "As a son, you should have the filial piety of your son and the loyalty of your minister, if the third prince understands this sentence and sees the saint another day, he will make up for his mistakes, what else is there to worry about?"

The rain overshadowed their voices, and the rain on the ground obscured their silhouettes again. The night rain hit the glazed tiles on the palace and the tiles on the palace porch, and the sound of tinkling followed all the way. Xia Zihe said goodbye to Ge Yun, and only after walking a long distance did he look back, and the Chongtai Hall behind him was blurred in the light and shadow, rain and fog, and the dream-like was out of reach. There were bursts of thunder rolling on the canopy, refusing to rest, and lightning from time to time ruthlessly fell in front of him. Xia Zihe stood under the eaves and looked at the rain and fog, such a heavy rain, even if he had an umbrella to support, he had to wet his clothes, not to mention that he didn't have an umbrella in his hand at the moment. The conversation just now came to his ears, and he couldn't help but sigh, and the eyebrows that had just been stretched were gloomy again, after all, the favor in the palace has never been for no reason.
