Before she finished speaking, her eyes were already closed, and her mouth made a slight and even breathing sound, Mu Jin looked at her and shook her head helplessly, then leaned over and pulled the thin quilt over her, and muttered, "Have a good dream!" Standing in place for a long time, he walked out of the inner room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bai Zi returned to the inn and rested for a while before his face improved slightly. Xuanyi borrowed the kitchen of the inn to fry the decoction, brought it to the guest room and held it in front of him, Bai Zigui didn't say anything, took the medicine bowl and drank the bitter medicine in one go, when he looked up, he couldn't bear to face Xuanyi's eyes, he pulled the corner of his lips and smiled lightly, and said: "Look at you like this, as if I drank this medicine on the first day." Even he didn't realize that in just one day, he had almost laughed out loud of all the laughter of the past thirty years.

Putting the empty medicine bowl on the table beside him, he said, "If you don't want to go back to your room to rest, sit down and talk to me." ”

Xuan Yi sighed in his heart, he could see that the master was in a good mood today, and the source of the master's good mood was none other than that Mo girl, but looking at the master's expression, it didn't look like he liked the other party, which made him unable to figure it out. Sitting on the chair, he thought for a while, and his voice was slightly hesitant: "Master, do you like that Mo girl?"

"Do you like it?" Bai Zigui frowned, was silent for a while, and said truthfully: "I don't know." After a pause, he added: "As far as my body and mind are concerned, I am not qualified to talk about liking, whether it is a person or a thing, I am not qualified to explore the meaning of the word 'like'." ”

After a moment's pause, the corners of his mouth lifted a self-deprecating smile: "Besides, a woman like her, I am afraid that there are many people who admire, and the man who can stand side by side with her and can control her must be extraordinary, and I, how can I enter her eyes?"

"The master is the most amazing person his subordinates have ever seen in his life, if he really wants his subordinates to say, that Mo girl is not worthy of the master!"

Bai Zigui smiled silently, his blue eyes were as deep as the sea, and his eyes were sparkling and sparkling, which was very confusing.

"That's what you think. ”

He said lightly.

Xuanyi looked respectful, and said with a glance: "The subordinates are not wrong." ”

"Hehe! I didn't expect you to look at Mu Ne, your mouth is used to coaxing people. Bai Zigui chuckled.

"The subordinates are telling the truth. Xuan Yi said seriously.

Bai Zigui sighed lightly: "I know what I look like in my heart, you don't have to talk about it just to make me happy." Xuanyi frowned: "The subordinates didn't say anything." Bai Zigui glanced at him and said slowly: "You are a rectum, let me say what is good about you!"

"The master can say whatever he wants, and his subordinates will listen. Xuan's face was expressionless, but his tone was particularly respectful.

"Remember, Mo said bad things about Miss Mo in front of me, she is a very good girl, I feel very comfortable talking to her, if we are destined to see each other again, we will be friends. Bai Zigui said, didn't take a breath, and couldn't help coughing heavily. "Master, are you okay?, why are you coughing so badly today?" Xuanyi frowned worriedly, got up and walked quickly to Bai Zigui's side, raised his hand to caress his back, and helped smooth his breath.

"It's okay, it's always been like this, and you don't know. ”

Bai Zigui doesn't like to be close to people, and in his memory, only Xuanyi is a special martyr, who has taken care of his daily life for many years. Looking at the gloom in Xuan's eyes, his heart warmed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, after a while, the decoction will be effective, and it will be much better." When Xuan heard this, the worry in his eyes did not dissipate, and his slightly frowning brows became even tighter, looking at Bai Zigui as if he was going to cough out his heart and lungs, his heart was clenched.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and he said emotionally: "Master, Miss Mo can see that you are not lightly ill, and I think she must know how to heal, and I hope she can cure your illness." ”

"Xuanyi ......" The corners of Bai Zigui's mouth moved, and said: "My face is so bad, anyone who sees it will assert that I am not lightly ill." "With his own extraordinary medical skills, he can't heal himself, so how can others heal him? As soon as Xuan heard his words, his whole person instantly became like a deflated ball, and he became extremely depressed.

"Okay, don't worry about my body, I won't be able to die for a while, it's not too early this time, go back to the guest room and rest. Bai Zigui stopped coughing, his eyes fell on him lightly, and he said a word in a shallow voice.

Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded "um", waved his hand and saluted.

The moonlight poured, and through the branches and leaves, mottled shadows fell on the ground, the capital, the East Palace.

It was nearly three watches, the light in the study was still on, Gong Yan leaned back on the chair, stroked his forehead, and asked in a deep voice: "There is no movement at all?" Jingying stood on the side, and replied in a low voice: "No, not only is the Ning Wangfu very quiet, but there is also no movement from the various families who are moving around each other in secret." ”

Gong Yan groaned: "It seems that they have made a big move. ”

"Master, then let's just wait?"

Jingying frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and asked. Gong Yan glanced up at him, his lips and teeth opened slightly, and said, "Wait and see what happens." "The direction of things is very different from before he was reborn, the most obvious point is the appearance of the nine-tailed fox demon, and then there is the man named Jing Mo Ran, who has been too close to Ning Wangfu for a while now.

According to his eyesight, that person is not a simple master, and there are still people behind the ten*.

"Kurosawa and Mr. Feng are okay lately?" Gong Yan suddenly changed the topic, Jingying was stunned when he heard this, and said in an instant: "I basically stay in the Hou Mansion during the day, and I ...... at night The subordinates don't know. ”

Gong Yan bowed his head and asked again: "How is the investigation of the matter in Prince Ming's Mansion?"

"It's been too long and it's hard to find favorable evidence. Jingying said, pausing slightly, and then said with a slight hesitation: "But...... However, in recent days, there have often been people wandering around the gate of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. ”

"Oh?" Gong Yan's deep starry eyes narrowed: "Do you know the details of those people?"

Jingying nodded and said, "There are two people who are slaves of the Taishi Mansion......" Seeing that he didn't say any more, Gong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What else?" Jingying pursed her lips and said: "The other three are little beggars who live in the broken temple in the east of the city, and the subordinates have the people below to secretly observe, those three little beggars go to the street at the gate of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion early every morning to beg for a living, and they will not leave the street until the lights are lit outside the gates of the mansions at sunset, and no one has contacted them for a few days. ”

"What do you think the people who instructed them want to hear from the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion?" Gong Yan pondered, and after a while, Fang Qikou asked slowly. Ning Yuanhou is not in the capital, and Wu'er is not there, the huge Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, only Ah Kuan and the two little guys, as well as the servants and guards, no matter how you think about it, there is no secret at all......

Thinking of this, Gong Yan secretly shook his head, no, Kurosawa and Feng Jin also live in the Hou Mansion now...... Do they want to hear from these two people?

However, since the two of them returned to Beijing with him, they have lived in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and if anyone wants to inquire about their details, there is no reason to wait until the near future to pay attention to them.

"My subordinates don't know. Jingying felt that his head was not enough, and he couldn't help his master when he needed him to think about things. Seeing his annoyed look, Gong Yan said lightly: "It's me who is difficult for you, step down." ”

Jingying replied, and was about to dodge away, but saw his grandfather's solemn expression, and said: "Pay more attention to the movement called Jing Mo Ran, well, and then there is, secretly monitor the Taishi Mansion, and the rest will be as usual." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. The still shadow responded, and then his figure flashed, and he disappeared in an instant.

Gong Yan sat quietly on the chair and remained motionless for a long time, until Liu Neng pushed open the door of the study, bowed in with the tray, his slightly drooping eyelids moved, raised his head, and saw Liu Neng put the tray on the table, and then picked up the bowl and handed it to him: "Your Highness, this is what the slave ordered the kitchen to do, you stay up too long, and you will be more comfortable after using up the supper." ”

"Leave it at that, I'll use it later. Gong Yan said.

Liu Neng responded and put the supper back on the plate: "Your Highness, Concubine Song of Qingmei Courtyard is also happy, does this Concubine Lin have to continue to wait?" he said, glanced at Gong Yan's face invisibly, and saw that his expression had not changed much, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "According to His Highness's previous plan, it's time to implement the second step." ”

Gong Yan's eyes were deep, his index finger tapped lightly on the table, and he said: "Then go as planned." ”

"Yes. Liu Neng responded respectfully.

"On the day I returned to Beijing, you said that the secret guards around the Snow Courtyard had noticed something unusual in the courtyard one night, is it true?"

"Back to His Highness, at that time, they only felt a red light in front of them, the speed block was almost out of reach, and when they wanted to carefully pursue the red light, there was silence all around, as if what they saw at that moment was an illusion. ”

"Didn't you hear anything?"

Liu Neng thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "That night in the snow courtyard was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound at all. ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons. Gong Yan got up, walked to the window with his hands in his hand, stared at the long moonlight, and said, "Tear off the layout around the Snow Courtyard." ”

"This ......"

"The people inside should already be wary, and watching too closely will not only strengthen their vigilance, but also inhibit their movements. ”

"The minions obeyed. ”

"Have you ventilated with Mu Fu?" If you want Mu Jin to return to the capital, you can only have a reasonable excuse for getting along with Mu Fu, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

Gong Yan pondered secretly.

Liu Neng said: "I have already passed the message secretly, and I want to come to Mu Mansion to study in Xuanwu Palace in the next two days." ”

"That's good. Gong Yan's hands behind him clenched slightly, with a hint of complicated gaze in the coldness, he looked in the direction of Xuanlu Palace, and after a long time, he said: "Since the emperor retreated and cultivated, you haven't heard anything from Gonggong Li?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Gonggong Li is the chief eunuch beside the emperor, as long as he doesn't want to open his mouth, it is difficult for others to know anything from him. "Liu Neng has served by Gong Yan's side for many years, and understands what the master's words mean, the problem is that he is just a big eunuch here in the East Palace, although he has a little friendship with Gonggong Li next to the emperor, but he rarely communicates privately about the affairs of his own sons.

After all, one is the emperor and the other is the crown prince, and they are the close servants of these two masters, and their words and deeds are related to the movements of the Xuanlu Hall and the East Palace, so they can only act and speak cautiously.

Unless there is the master's tacit consent, some inconsequential things will be leaked to the outside.

The study was silent, Liu Neng couldn't hear the master's words for a long time, and planned to remind him that the supper was going to be cold, and he asked his master to take it, who knows, Gong Yan's cold and sparse voice rose at this time, and first broke the silence of the room: "Let go out a little bit of wind, just say that the crown princess's illness is gradually improving." ”

"Your Royal Highness, isn't the crown prince and concubine still ......" The crown prince and concubine are still studying in the Xuanwu Palace, is it safe to show the news that her condition is improving? Gong Yan seemed to guess what Liu Neng was thinking, and only heard him say in a shallow voice: "After a while, all the subject countries will come to my Dajin to worship, and I think the prince and concubine will be able to accompany me at that time." Liu Neng heard this and didn't say anything more.

The next day, the weather was fine, Cuiming Pavilion.

"Master, His Royal Highness sent Gonggong Liu from his side to pass the word, saying that he would come over to accompany you for lunch after handling political affairs. Lu E is Concubine Lin's henchman and maidservant, and she hurriedly walked into the main house at this moment and bowed to her master.

Not long after Concubine Lin had breakfast, she was helped by another henchman, the maidservant Green Mandarin, to take a walk in the courtyard for a while, and just returned to the house at this time, and lay down on her side against two soft large pillows.

Hearing Lu E's report, she suddenly had a happy face: "What you said is true?" Lu Yuan stepped forward to help her sit up, her eyes were also dyed with joy, and she said with a smile: "Master, Lu E doesn't dare to joke with you about this kind of thing." ”

"Yes, yes, master, you just lent the slave a hundred guts, and the slave didn't dare to fake the words of His Highness. Lu E smiled and said, "It was Gonggong Liu who came here in person, it definitely can't be fake!"

"I thought His Highness had forgotten me!" Making sure she heard correctly, Concubine Lin couldn't help but moisten her eyes, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, while muttering: "Since my body was diagnosed with a happy pulse, His Royal Highness has never been to Cuiming Pavilion, this is such a long time, I thought that I would never see His Highness again until the child was born, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect His Highness to remember me......"

Lu Yuan comforted: "Your Highness has always had your master in your heart, otherwise, you would not know that your master is happy, so he set up a small kitchen for you in the courtyard, and told you not to think about anything, and to raise the baby in the courtyard." ”

"Yes, Your Highness said that, and I also followed His Highness's instructions, since the imperial doctor diagnosed the happy pulse, I haven't taken a step out of Cuiming Pavilion, I didn't expect that I followed His Highness's words and got such mercy today. "Although the crown princess has been blessed by His Royal Highness, she has no good news so far, and she has not been in the East Palace for a long time, and she has a body, if it does not cause the jealousy of the other people in the East Palace, it is impossible, so His Royal Highness told her, and she also obediently responded, so as not to let the child in her womb be calculated.

But what she didn't expect was that the Qingmei Courtyard also spread the happy pulse half a month ago. In this regard, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but in the end, everyone was pregnant with the heirs of His Royal Highness, and she and that, as well as Concubine Yao of Chunyue Courtyard, were carried into the East Palace on the same day, compared to the two side concubines, the relationship between them was always closer.

However, if she wants to survive safely in the palace, she will never easily give her trust to others.

Lu E pouted at this time and said: "Concubine Song Shu of Qingmei Courtyard is also a good fate, but the little master in the master's womb must be more worthy of His Royal Highness's heart." ”

"How can this be said casually? ”

Concubine Lin Shu's face changed slightly, glanced at her, and reprimanded: "Concubine Song Shu and I are both pregnant with the heirs of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness naturally likes them, if you don't want to cause trouble for me and don't want to lose your own life, don't say anything about what you have, you know?" ”

Liu Neng finished passing the word to Cuiming Pavilion with his front foot, and within a quarter of an hour, several other female ladies in the East Palace knew that the prince was going to accompany Concubine Lin Shu for lunch.

The prince has a lonely temperament, and he has never accompanied the side concubines and concubines to eat, so Cuiming Pavilion has aroused several jealous glances.

"I'm just a joke, I'm the big joke in this East Palace. In the snow courtyard, Yun Qingxue sat on the couch at this time, and laughed nervously: "Tell me, what is wrong with me? I can't compare to the prince and princess, that's because my life is not good enough, but I can't even compare to the one in the Liyuan, and the three foxes, from time to time I hear them accept the pets, that's not all, Cuiming Pavilion and Qingmei Courtyard have been reported to be happy, Your Highness...... Where does Your Highness want to put me?" "The purpose of marrying the prince is obviously to help that person succeed, and she also pretends to be that person in her heart, but in the East Palace, she still can't help but remember all kinds of things she got along with the prince before her marriage, and when she thinks of the prince, her heart will be pantothenic, and she will feel aggrieved and unwilling.

I really wanted to see him smile at himself, I really wanted to see him step into the snow courtyard, but the reality disappointed her, and her heart hurt beyond words.

It's not that she didn't take Master's words to heart, the problem is that she can't control herself from thinking about the prince, and she can't control herself from being jealous of those foxes.

"Since I entered the East Palace, His Royal Highness has never said a word to me, just throw me in the Snow Courtyard like this, let me fend for myself, his heart is so ruthless!"

"Master, Your Highness may be protecting your master in his own way. "Cai Qing said.

"Protect me?" Yun Qingxue chuckled, "Why do you think Your Highness is protecting me?" Caibi, you can also tell me. ”

Caiqing's body trembled, her mouth moved, she didn't know how to say it for a while, Caibi glanced at her from the corner of her eyes, thought about it, raised her eyes to look at Yunqingxue, and said respectfully: "The slave maid thinks that what Caiqing said may be right, His Royal Highness doesn't want the master to be calculated by other courts, so let those women fight first, so that they can be their own enemies, and then be good to the master, which will undoubtedly save the master a lot of trouble." ”

Yun Qingxue put away her nervous smile, her eyes were stunned, and she murmured, "Really?"

"In the eyes of the slave, yes. Caibi replied.

"Caiqing, what do you say?"

Caiqing looked respectful and said in a low voice: "Back to the master, that's what the slave thinks." ”

"I don't believe it!" Yun Qingxue stared at them for a while, and suddenly chuckled nervously again: "Do you know? I didn't try to marry into the East Palace because I liked the prince, I didn't like him anymore since he trampled my pride and pride under my feet for that fool...... I have someone I like, that person is very good to me, I don't know how many times better than the prince, he let me know what real liking is, let me know what it means to care, but ...... But why didn't he come to see me? Since I entered the East Palace, he hasn't come to see me once, is he too busy, or has he forgotten me?"

Rubbing her forehead, she suddenly distorted her face and said, "It hurts, my head hurts!"

Caiqing and Caibi were stunned by what she said earlier.

Didn't the master marry into the East Palace because he liked the prince?

Does the master have someone he likes?

Why had they never heard it mentioned by their master before?

Since he doesn't like the prince, why does the master hate Concubine Zheng and the three concubines?

Since he doesn't like the prince, why does the master have a deep grudge against the prince?

Also, what is the purpose of the master's marriage into the East Palace?

Caiqing didn't understand.

Caibi didn't understand either.

"Master, are you okay?" Yun Qingxue's painful voice came out, making Caiqing and Caibi suddenly come back to their senses, the two stepped forward, one tightly wrapped his master's arms, and the other helped him massage his forehead, Caibi said: "Master, I'm afraid that you drank too much wine last night, and this will not fully wake up, so it caused a headache, and the slave will help you press it, and it won't hurt for a while." As she spoke, she moved softly, massaging Yun Qingxue's forehead one by one.

Concubine Lin Shu's lunch was really used by the prince in person when he came to Cuiming Pavilion and accompanied him. It's just that this prince is not the other prince, however, Concubine Lin Shu will not know this.

The autumn breeze was cool, and after the meal, Concubine Lin Shu said that she wanted to go to the garden of the East Palace, and when she heard her words, the prince didn't think about it, and bowed his head directly.

"Your Highness, in a few months, our baby will be born!"

The two walked on the smooth path between flowers, and Concubine Lin Shu's eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, and she said softly.

The prince said "um", his voice was silent, and asked, "There is no discomfort in your body, right?" and glanced at her slightly bulging abdomen, and the prince's eyes were dyed with a faint soft color. Concubine Lin Shu saw this soft color in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in her heart, and replied softly: "His Royal Highness Lao is worried, the imperial doctor goes to Cuiming Pavilion every day to check the concubine's pulse, saying that the concubine and the child in the concubine's womb are all right." ”

More than a quarter of an hour passed unconsciously, and the prince stopped and said with concern: "Tired, aren't you? ”
