Shanglin Yuan, on the edge of the Jing River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Yu and Gu Yu together lit all the paper boat lamps with candles and put them in the Jing River.

The two of them stood by the river, watching the whole river scattered and floating with paper boat lanterns, and the lit candles reflected the whole river like a bright moonlight.

The water of the Jing River flows from outside the palace into Shanglin Yuan, and eventually flows from Shanglin Yuan to the outside of the palace.

Jiang Yu actually knew that these paper boat lamps would eventually either float outside the palace, or they would be lost in the Jing River and be annihilated by the river.

The Lethe River that can float to the underworld is just deceiving itself.

Gu Ying looked at the paper boat lamp on the river, and said a little faintly: "In the past, it was the slave and the concubine who put the lamp on him, and now it is the slave and the maid who put the lamp on the concubine and him, I don't know if anyone will put a lamp on the slave and the maid when the slave and the maid die." ”

Jiang Yu said: "It's all alive and well, why do you think about death, why don't you think about how to live?"

Gu Yu looked at Jiang Yu, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Jiang Yu's ears were alert to hear some movement, as if there were footsteps coming in their direction.

Jiang Yu hurriedly made a "shhh ”

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Yu to look left and right, and saw the rockery next to him that could hide people, and ran into the rockery.

After a while, I heard a young man appear by the river, looking at the paper boat lamp on the river and the basket left on the ground, and a little surprise appeared on his face.

He stopped on the shore and watched for a while, then approached the river, reached out and scooped up a paper boat lamp that had not drifted far, and looked at it carefully.

On it was a paper boat made of snow-white oiled paper, without any marks or handwriting, and nothing could be seen.

He put the paper boat lamp back into the river, then stood up, looked around, and suddenly shouted expectantly: "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, is it you?

But disappointingly, no one responded to him.

Jiang Yu looked at the people outside from the gap in the rockery, and saw him sigh deeply, his face contained great disappointment and loss, and he smiled bitterly with sadness, and then muttered something to himself.

It was a little far away, Jiang Yu couldn't hear what he said clearly, only vaguely listened to half of the sentence, as if to say, "I hope you are still alive, it turned out to be my luxury......"

He stood by the river and stopped for a while, and then staggered away from Shanglin Yuan.

After he walked away, Jiang Yu pulled Gu Yu out of the rockery.

Gu Ying looked in the direction he was walking away, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Yu said to Gu Yu: "Let's go, let's go back." He reminded her, "Don't forget to bring the basket with you." ”

Gu Yu said yes, picked up the basket, and then followed Jiang Yu back to Zichen Palace.

Yu Wenhong came out of the Xuanqing Palace for half an hour after Zhu Hong left, and after entering the Huangji Gate, he asked Wan proudly: "You said that Zhu Hong went to Shanglin Yuan just now?"

Wan said proudly: "Yes, it has come out just now." The slave saw that Master Zhu's expression was a little bad, and he deliberately sent him out of the palace. ”

Yu Wenhong said with heavy eyes: "If I remember well, today should be the death day of the eldest brother." ”

Wan sighed proudly: "Who says it's not, His Royal Highness King Cheng died on the battlefield four years ago today. ”

Yu Wenhong said: "Let's also go to Shanglin Yuan to have a look." ”

Wan proudly bowed and said yes, and then instructed the palace people to carry the lantern and carefully show Yu Wenhong the way in front, while following Yu Wenhong.

When Yu Wenhong walked to Shanglin Yuan, there were no people on the edge of the Jing River, and only a few paper boat lamps that had not had time to float away were left.

Yu Wenhong looked at it and frowned, and asked, "Who put the lamp here?"

Wan Deyi was also very puzzled, in previous years, the one in Ningmo Palace would secretly put lights on Shanglin Garden.

But this year, hasn't Concubine Jiang passed away?

Could it really be that Concubine Jiang's ghost has returned?

Yu Wenhong said: "Go find a palace person and ask, who put it here, so as to save some ill-intentioned people from pretending to be ghosts here." ”

Wan said proudly: "I'm afraid I don't know if I ask the palace people." He also said: "The emperor forgot, you sent a message to the palace people in Shanglin Yuan a few years ago, and the palace people do not need to inspect Shanglin Yuan every year." ”

As for why he said this, it was naturally for the convenience of the one in the Ningmo Palace.

Yu Wenhong didn't speak, just stood by the Jing River and looked at the river for a while, and then returned to Zichen Palace.

When Yu Wenhong walked into Zichen Palace, Jiang Yu was sitting on the couch with a bowl of lotus seed soup, eating it for a while.

Seeing Yu Wenhong come in, he didn't get up to salute, "hummed" and then turned away.

Yu Wenhong didn't mind her rudeness, walked over and sat on the side of her face, beckoned the palace people to remove the small few people separated from them, and said, "What's the matter, are you still angry with me about not going to Jing'an Palace today?"

Jiang Yu didn't answer his words, and was very dissatisfied with him letting the palace people remove the small table, and shouted: "The concubine still wants to put the bowl, the emperor asked the concubine to remove the small table, wait a minute, let the concubine's bowl be placed?"

Yu Wenhong stretched out his hand and said to Jiang Yu: "I will hold it for you." ”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips: "The concubines don't dare to support the emperor." ”

Yu Wenhong withdrew his hand and asked the palace man: "What kind of porridge did you cook today so fragrant, give me a bowl too." ”

Mo Yu said yes, and then went down to serve lotus seed soup.

Jiang Yu was still dissatisfied, and couldn't help but have to worry about Yu Wenhong again, looked at Yu Wenhong and said: "If it is Concubine Shu who is invited into Jing'an Palace today, I'm afraid the emperor will not dare to delay for a moment and go to Jing'an Palace immediately." ”

Yu Wenhong nodded and said, "What you said is good, but I know that if Concubine Shu is invited to Jing'an Palace, she will not suffer less if I go, and if you are invited to Jing'an Palace, even if I don't go, you will be safe." ”

Jiang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Does the concubine still want to thank the emperor for his wisdom and skill?"

Before Yu Wenhong could speak, Mo Yu had already come up with the lotus seed soup, and said to Yu Wenhong with a smile: "Your Majesty, the lotus seed soup is here." ”

Yu Wenhong nodded and said, "Put it on the table first, you all go out first." ”

Mo Yu put the lotus seed soup on the table and looked at Jiang Yu with some concern.

Jiang Yu nodded to her, and then handed her the lotus seed soup that she had eaten less than two bites in her hand.

She felt that today, it was necessary for her to have a good talk with Yu Wenhong to test his attitude towards Meng Xuanyu and Meng Xuanyu.

Mo Yu took the bowl in her hand and put it on the table, and then led the palace people in the hall to bend their knees to Yu Wenhong and Jiang Yu, and then went out.

Jiang Yu asked: "The emperor won't ask, what did the queen mother say to her concubines in Jing'an Palace today?"

Yu Wenhong said: "If you want to speak, I will listen." ”

Jiang Yu said: "The Queen Mother mentioned to the concubine the incident that happened in Jing'an Palace more than two months ago, and mentioned that the concubine and the concubine's child were sick at the same time, and the Queen Mother only had a tocolytic pill in her hand, and the Queen Mother forced the emperor to choose whether to protect the concubine or the concubine." The emperor chose to protect the concubine, but the queen mother gave the fetal protection medicine to the concubine. also had a deep discussion with the concubines on the esoteric issue of 'protecting is not protecting, and not protecting, protecting'. ”
