Mama Wu said softly: "Does the girl know, in the past two days, there has been another rumor in the palace. ”

"Rumors?"

I was a little lazy, and lowered my eyelids slightly.

I spent the night in Pei Yuanhao's dormitory, even the noble concubine Niangniang was seriously ill like that, and the emperor did not pass for a whole night, and there would be any rumors inside and outside the palace, I had already thought of it.

Even more lazy to listen.

So he said lightly: "Zuo is just those people chewing the root of their tongues." ”

Mama Wu said: "This is not chewing the root of the tongue......

"I did spend the night in the Emperor's chambers last night, but it wasn't—"

"Girl," Mama Wu interrupted me worriedly, "The rumors don't mean last night. ”

"Oh?" I was a little surprised, looking up at her, "What's that?"

Mama Wu glanced back, Su Su was still carefully serving Miao Yan, and neither of them paid attention to our side, so she lowered her voice a little and said, "In the past two days, someone has been talking about one thing--it is about Lord Nangong's nephew, the one who was assassinated. ”

I frowned slightly: "What is it about him?"

Mama Wu simply squatted down, leaned into my ear and said softly: "Some people say that Master Qu's death was because someone leaked his whereabouts. ”

"Oh?"

Recall that Pei Yuanhao did say before that when Qu Xueyi rushed to Shaanxi, he did not make a big fuss, but traveled lightly, so he was assassinated, and it must have been the person who did it who knew his itinerary in advance, and it was indeed possible that it was leaked in advance.

However, my heart suddenly moved, and I turned my head to look at Mama Wu: "So what?"

"So," her voice lowered, "some people say that it was someone from the harem who spread the news." ”

"What?!" I was startled and glared at her, "Someone said that?"

"Yes. ”

“……”

I suddenly felt cold.

Qu Xueyi's trip to Shaanxi was not fanfare, but acted at the emperor's secret request, and naturally no one in the court knew his whereabouts, and to say that the harem leaked the news, could it be said-

Mama Wu was still looking at me, with a slight cold sweat on her forehead: "I see, they have already pointed out." ”

"......" I pursed my lips and stopped talking.

The previous incident was directed at Xichuan, but fortunately, I had a frank talk with Pei Yuanhao, and I also told him about Yan Qingchen's current plans, which made him feel at ease. Although I also knew that those people in the court might not be willing to give up, I didn't expect that they would make trouble again in such a short time.

Moreover, this statement is not only directed at Xichuan, but also at me who lives in Jingren Palace!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a little shorter.

Thinking back to the past two days, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace looked at me, pointing behind my back, and whispering, I was still strange at that time, but now I understand a little, and in the morning Gonggong Yu sent me back to Jingren Palace, and along the way, he also seemed restless.

It turned out that it was for this matter.

Moreover, there is obviously someone behind this incident who is building momentum, otherwise it would not have spread so quickly, and even Mama Wu, who has always been quiet and indifferent, took the initiative to talk about it.

Just when I frowned and thought hard, Mama Wu said softly: "Girl, this matter is coming at you, whether it is open or secret. You're going to have to deal with it. ”

I nodded, "I see." ”

That's when she stepped back.

I sat still, and after a while, when I picked up the cup of tea again, my gaze distorted in the swaying tea, and my mind began to turn a thousand times.

It is not at all surprising to say that the people in the court are targeting me, and this matter points to Xichuan, but the problem is that when this matter was the most troublesome before, it never involved the leakage of news from the harem, but in the past two days, such a statement has begun to appear.

It's not too soon, it's not too late, it's just at this time.

At this time, is there any point?

|

The day passed quickly and peacefully.

Probably because all the attention of all the people in the harem was put on Yuhua Palace, and other places seemed a little lonely, Jingren Palace seemed to be out of people, only at lunchtime, the people in the imperial dining room had just delivered a meal, and Yugong Gong came.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "The emperor asked the old slave to come and see the girl, and also to see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

I was stunned: "What are you looking at?"

"Just look. ”

“……”

I was a little puzzled, and then smiled and said, "We're here, and we're not going anywhere." ”

Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said: "The girl misunderstood, the emperor didn't let the old slave come to see the girl and Her Royal Highness the princess, but-"

He didn't go any further here, just looked at me with a smile.

Then I understood.

Presumably Pei Yuanhao also ordered "You go and see them", so he came, but how to look at it and what to see when you go back, you will be particular.

Father-in-law Yu is also an old man in this palace after all, he is exquisite, and said with a smile: "The illness of the noble concubine is indeed too urgent, and now several imperial doctors are still diagnosing, and the emperor really can't get out——"

It turned out that he had explained it to me on his behalf.

I smiled faintly in my heart and said, "I see." ”

Yu Gonggong's words couldn't go on.

I thought about it, and still asked, "Has the concubine's condition improved?"

Father-in-law Yu was silent for a moment, but there was a rare trace of worry in his eyes, and said: "The illness of the noble concubine Niangniang this time came too quickly, fortunately, the emperor stabilized a little in the past, but several imperial doctors couldn't see the crux of the problem, so it was still a little tricky." ”

I nodded and said calmly: "Since that's the case, then my father-in-law should go back to serve quickly, I have nothing to do here, and Her Royal Highness the princess is fine." ”

Father-in-law Yu glanced back, Miao Yan was really sitting there obediently, Su Su gave her a bowl of rice, she obediently took it and ate it herself.

"Okay, the old slave will go first. ”

As soon as he left, Miao Yan raised his head and looked at his back, holding the bowl, a little dumbfounded.

I said softly, "Wonderful words, what's wrong?"

She hurriedly shook her head: "It's nothing. After saying that, he lowered his head and began to chop rice.

I looked at her for a while, but didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

I spent an afternoon quietly, and in the evening, I let her go to bed early, and this time I came back with the method of conjuring spirits, although she usually looked much quieter than before, but when she slept, she was not so stable, as if she was always having nightmares, and she could often be seen frowning, with a nervous expression.

I don't know what kind of dream she is experiencing.

I leaned back on the edge of the bed and read a book for a while, until I felt a little tired, then closed the book and prepared to lie down to sleep.

But as soon as he lay down, there was a knock on the door outside.

Tuk-tuk.

I couldn't help but frown.

Of course, I knew that no one else in this palace would come knocking on my door in the middle of the night, and there were, but it was the one who brought me to the trial, but this knock was very gentle, and it didn't look like the concubine was going to drag me over to ask what was going on because the concubine was seriously ill.

I got up and went down to the ground, put on a dress, and as soon as I walked over and opened the door, I saw Pei Yuanhao standing at the door.

There was still a hint of fatigue on his face, but as soon as he opened the door, he didn't know if it was because the candlelight in the room hit his face, and his eyes lit up a little, and his face lit up.

"Haven't slept yet?"

I tightened my clothes: "Just going to sleep." ”

"Where's the good word?"

"Slept. ”

"I want to go in and see her. ”

“……”

The wind outside was blowing very loudly, and after only standing for a while, my hands and feet were already cold, but he didn't break in directly, he still stood at the door, looking at me calmly.

Actually, I was a little apprehensive.

The concubine's illness hasn't improved yet, at least now, I haven't heard from Chang Qing's side that someone came to spread the word, I thought he would stay there tonight, but I didn't expect him to come over, which made me feel a little "nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace".

However, a father who comes late at night to see his daughter can't turn him away.

I thought for a moment and whispered, "Be quiet." ”

Then he took a step back to the side.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurried in and closed the door with his backhand. Because he still had the cold outside, he walked to the table and stretched out his hand to roast on the candlestick, and then walked to the bedside, Miao Yan was already asleep, and he did not know about his arrival.

He looked at his daughter intently, with some wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "How is she today?"

"It's good. ”

"Do you eat too much?"

"Ate a bowl and half a bowl of soup. ”

"What about activities?"

"It was cold outside, didn't let her out. ”

"Yes. The weather has been bad for the past few days, and in a few days, when spring begins, I will do a pro-ploughing ceremony, and when the time comes, I will take her out to play, and she will definitely be happy. ”

After saying this, he didn't hear my response, so he turned to look at me: "Huh?"

I said lightly: "Your Majesty will arrange it." ”

Looking at my indifferent appearance, he seemed to feel something, put his hands together, thought about it, and then turned to me and said, "The concubine's illness is a little urgent, and I can't leave her like that." ”

As soon as he heard what he said, it seemed that Yu Gong didn't mean anything during the day, and now he came over to explain in person.

I said, "The patient is great, and it is right for His Majesty to guard the concubine." ”

After saying this, I kept my mouth shut.

Whether it is out of his heart or perfunctory words about the scene in front of him, this sentence is not leaky, but Pei Yuanhao didn't see any joy, but he didn't have any other feelings, just looked at me so quietly.

I don't know how long later, he said, "I actually want to guard you more. ”
