Rong Xijue's sense of touch in some aspects was very keen, and of course he felt a strong aura of hunting. He lives in the Yi'an Palace during the day, and the women in the palace are always gossiping, even the widow in the forest is no exception, he doesn't have to go far, he already knows the news that this dry woman knows.
The night before, he searched half of the harem, without any clues, and during the day, he leaned on the seven beams in the east of the Yi'an Palace to think.
The main courtyard of Yi'an Palace and the two courtyards of the cross-courtyard belong to the palace of the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine is highly respected, even if Rong Chenning sends someone to search for it under the pretext of an assassin sneaking in, it is impossible to come to the door every day to harass her, only the periphery is guarded. But with Rong Xijue's skills, even if they take three steps and one post, where can they find out.
Since Emperor Kangci's concubine and Concubine De were both punished, only Concubine Liang was qualified to be in charge of the harem, but in the palace of Tangshan Hot Springs last year, Concubine Liang was deprived of all rights after Emperor Jinglu passed the decree to declare the concubine, and now she just did not take away the name of the concubine.
The virtuous concubine is old, she has seen all the ups and downs of life and death in the palace, and she refuses to be a director, so the holy decree is issued, and she respectfully invites Concubine Chen Duan and Concubine Li Rui to return to the palace and take charge of the palace affairs together. As a result, Shanglin's Denghong Pavilion and Linhai Xuanfu have become busy places again.
These two places are close to Yi'an Palace, and between the movements and quiets, they are quite subtle.
Rong Xijue was closing his eyes and pondering, and when he heard the footsteps outside, he immediately glanced at it from the window lattice.
In the summer palace room, the windows are open, and the top is covered with silk screens, and the situation outside is clearly visible.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Rong Xijue suddenly sat up straight.
Surrounded by palace people, isn't it the mother-in-law Lian?
There was an elderly palace grandmother in front of her who stepped up her steps to report inside, and the bedroom of the virtuous concubine was just around the corner, and the words inside were heard very clearly on the beam.
"Concubine Yu, Duchess Chengen has arrived. ”
The voice of the virtuous concubine was particularly old and lazy, and there were only a few words: "Yes, the emperor is anxious." ”
The palace people naturally didn't dare to answer such a cavity, and after a small sound, the virtuous concubine with a bad face was pulled out, and sat down on the Arhat couch in front of the window. ”
Lian's early marquis was in the hall and was guided to enter the temple to worship.
Rong Xijue couldn't help but take a closer look at her face.
Lian always lowered his eyes, that is, the virtuous concubine sat down, and sat at the other end of the couch, and his face was very calm.
An attitude of not being happy or sad.
The two noble ladies sat opposite each other, except for the virtuous concubine who gave a cup of tea, they were speechless and silent for a long time.
The room was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
In the end, it was the virtuous concubine who broke the silence and said, "Madame's trip back to her hometown, everything is okay?"
Rong Xijue pricked up his ears.
Lian Shi bowed his head slightly: "Concubine Meng is worried, everything is fine." ”
After saying nothing more, a sneer appeared on the face of the virtuous concubine.
The principal grandmother who was standing on the side looked really unspeakable, and saluted: "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor said that there have been many people coming and going in the public mansion recently, and I am afraid that Duchess Chengen will not be disturbed. The palace has the most beautiful scenery in the forest, and it is also a good place to escape the summer, so I asked the Duchess of Chengen to be your companion, I don't know where to stay?"
Since they knew in advance that the Lian family was coming, the master and servants had discussed it, and the master and mother mentioned it at this time, but it was just to make face for the master.
The virtuous concubine really said: "Let's enter the courtyard here twice, and open the courtyard behind Mrs. Ling, and it will be light in both times." ”
Lian thanked again: "It's disturbing the concubine's recuperation." ”
The virtuous concubine glanced at her and said, "Where." ”
The look was very complicated.
Hearing the words of the youngest daughter, Rong Xijue was already empowered, and this anger was really extraordinary.
Rong Chenning used a fire as a cover to make Queen Feng and Queen disappear from the world, it seems that he is just to change the face of Ling Makeup, looking at the posture of the Lian family entering the palace, there is quite a bit of hostage taste, maybe in the near future, he will announce the canonization of the youngest daughter of the Ling family as the queen concubine......
Whether the Ling family has a little daughter or not, Rong Xijue knows it very well, and it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment in their hearts.
If he doesn't come back and doesn't act, will Ling Xiang be remarried?
In the past two days, he has heard all the gossip that he has returned, and no one has mentioned that Ling Xiang is still alive.
Now that the youngest daughter has been mentioned, none of them have entered the palace, which means that the chance of Rong Chenning hiding Ling makeup in the palace is actually very small.
But where would she be? Is she still in Qianlong Town?
Fury swept through his heart, and his heart to kill Rong Chenning was even stronger.
Lian Shi suddenly said: "The concubine heard that the military magistrate took a cadre from the Xia family, and there are two girls of different races, it is said that they are related to Emperor Fenghe, I don't know what they have done, after all, it is Emperor Fenghe's foreign family, Mrs. Rong is old, how can she afford to be offended in such a place...... Please also ask the concubine to say a word. ”
Rong Xijue was startled, and then she woke up and forgot about Zhu Ya.
The two interracial girls in her mouth said that they had something to do with her, not who they were.
Although he had no intention of Zhu Ya, he knew the girl's affection for him, and he sighed in his heart for a while.
The Xia family fell to the white body Rong Chenning and did not let go, it was obviously aimed at himself, Rong Xijue thought to himself, tonight he had to enter the military prefect to find out.
***
Under the hospitality of the Yan family, Ling Makeup was stranded for two days and could not be taken off, and he couldn't help but be irritable.
According to her original plan, she just planned to borrow some silver from them in order to find a safe caravan to go to the Western Regions together, but two days ago, she saw the broken bridge and other conditions, which made her full of expectations for Rong Xijue's return, and the news that Emperor Jinglu had returned to Beijing came from the town.
The Yan family generally has a long life, not only the aunt and grandfather Yan Xiaoquan and the aunt and grandmother Yan Lian are both in the hall, but Yan Xiaoquan's mother is also alive, the family is in the same house for four generations, and the shade of the descendants, several sons are mixed in the place, and the original Qiu family's woodland business also let them take over, and now they have an official body to rely on, and they are more prosperous.
In fact, the Yan family found out that it was really Empress Roujia who was killed in the fire of Guanju Palace announced by the imperial court, and they were very worried, and after secret discussion, they secretly sent people to Beijing to verify the news, and on the other hand, they tried their best to stabilize Ling Makeup.
