As she spoke, Concubine Sun Xian turned her head to look at Concubine Lan: "You just ate a bowl of ice fruits at my place that day, and it was made by Concubine Li." If I want to get out, it's not easy?"

Concubine Sun Xian took two more steps inside, and then stood still, looking at Concubine Lan who was standing behind her: "My sister is a smart person, why bother to impose the blame on me?"

When Concubine Lan heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Sun Xian, her voice was fierce: "Why? Why did he do that?"

Concubine Sun Xian looked at Concubine Lan and was stunned by her suddenly raised voice.

Quickly turned his head to look around, and then looked back at Lan Guifei, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lan Guifei.

"You must know why. Lan Guifei looked at Concubine Sun Xian, asked aggressively, asked, took a step forward, grabbed Concubine Sun Xian's hand, and her voice trembled slightly: "You know, right?"

Concubine Sun Xian looked at Concubine Lan, frowned, and pursed her lips. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the sky: "Sister, it's not early, I'll go back to the palace first." ”

After that, Concubine Sun Xian turned her head, looked at Lan Guifei, and lowered her voice and said, "I have said enough considerate words to my sister today. My sister is so good to think about it. ”

As he spoke, he pushed away the hand that Lan Guifei was holding, put the lantern in her hand in her hand, sighed, and turned around and walked outside the imperial garden.

Concubine Lan turned her head, with a little dazedness and trembling in her eyes, watching Concubine Sun Xian's figure walk to the crowd, and then watching her palace people walking towards this side with the lamp.

Mama Huang walked in the front, she walked to Lan Guifei's side, looked at Lan Guifei's face, and frowned. Stretched out her hand and took the palace lamp in her hand: "The night is heavy, let's go back to the palace." ”

Concubine Lan came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Mama Huang, and opened her mouth: "Mama, you go outside and wait first, and the palace will walk by itself." ”

Mama Huang frowned even more when she heard this: "Then how can you do it?" ”

Lan Guifei looked at Mama Huang and shook her head, the tiredness and blankness on her face couldn't be hidden: "Mama retreat first." ”

When Mama Huang heard this, she stood in place, holding the palace lamp, and did not move.

"Just this time, I'm going around here, not going far. Concubine Lan looked at Mama Huang, her tone tired and pleading.

Mama Huang listened and sighed distressedly: "Then we are over there, if the mother has something, she will be called the old slave." ”

Concubine Lan nodded: "Take the palace lantern down too." ”

After that, I watched Mama Huang retreat with the palace people.

Concubine Lan turned around and stood in place, her eyes swept across the imperial garden.

There are octagonal palace lamps in the imperial garden, but the light is weak, and each one is far apart. The palace people who will be able to come and go can see the road, but they can't really see the surrounding scenery.

As soon as Mama Huang retreated with the palace people, the place where Lan Guifei was standing became a little dark. She stretched out her hand and tugged at the brocade dress on her body. I looked down again, looked at the gorgeous clothes embroidered with peonies on my body, and found that I couldn't see it clearly.

Lan Guifei suddenly had the illusion that she was being swallowed by the darkness. She hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and took a few steps to the side. Walk up to an octagonal palace lamp and stand still.

Then he turned his head and swept the scenery around him. I began to think carefully about what Concubine Sun Xian had said to her. While thinking, he slowly took two steps towards the corner next to the palace lamp.

The night was long, and there was no one in the garden. In a huge place, there is only the sound of gnats that keep shouting. Lan Guifei walked along the road for a short time when she heard a sound next to her.

She was startled, but didn't make a sound, just pinched her sleeve and turned to look at where the voice came from.

On the way Lan Guifei walked, there was a sound of rustling. She looked to the side through the clumps of chrysanthemum branches. Then I saw a person standing under the peach tree on the other side, and he was tiptoe to reach the branches of the peach tree.

Lan Guifei took a step forward, her figure disappearing in the grass, squinting at the slender figure. The dress was an ordinary garment, and the blue-gray embellishment stretched the figure slender.

But in the palace, how many people can wear ordinary clothes? Concubine Lan opened her eyes in disbelief, took a step forward, looked carefully at the figure under the tree, looked at the familiar figure, and worked hard to reach the most prosperous peach branches on a tree.

Surprised but puzzled, he frowned.

The emperor is late at night, why does he fold flowers in the imperial garden?

It's still so cautious and hardworking.

Is it for Concubine Wan?

Concubine Lan shook her head, and when Cai Fuxia went to Emperor Tongbing, Gonggong Xi replied. The emperor went to know where, so naturally he would not know about Concubine Wan.

The peach trees in the Imperial Garden are bigger and more colorful than those in the Lanhua Palace. One by one, they fall on the branches, and even when they are in the palm of the lamp, you can see the flowers of a tree.

Just when Concubine Lan was stunned and puzzled, Emperor Ming Xian, who was dressed in a blue and gray straight gown, had already folded the peach. One by one, he held it in his arms like a treasure. Then walk to the other side of the Imperial Garden.

Lan Guifei looked at Emperor Ming Xian's appearance, and became more and more puzzled, but she couldn't believe it. She tiptoed, and the demon sent the god to follow.

Walking through the imperial garden and walking through the side hall that had been abandoned for many years, Lan Guifei followed carefully all the way. The further you go, the faster your heart beats. Until he followed Emperor Ming Xian into the cold palace.

The grass in the huge cold palace was desolate, and even the only servant guarding the door slept by the door.

Emperor Ming Xian lightly bypassed the servant guarding the door and stepped into the cold palace.

The cold palace is the place where the palace concubines who committed major crimes or were rejected by the emperor lived, and the Southern Shang Dynasty had regulations that after the death of each emperor, the concubines in the cold palace were martyred.

However, since the first emperor Jingwen, there are only two people in the harem, the first queen and Sun Guifei, and there are no other concubines, let alone the cold palace. and now the emperor, he has not put any concubine into the cold palace.

As a result, this place, which was already taboo, was empty for decades. Ordinary people in the palace will not come to the place where they have nothing to do, and there is no one at all. What is the emperor doing inside?

When it comes to the cold palace, there must be something unknown to everyone.

Lan Guifei followed outside, and 10,000 voices in her heart were telling her that she couldn't follow up anymore!

But she thought of Concubine Sun Xian's words and stopped, and thought of the children who died for no reason in the past, and followed her under her feet as if she had given birth to a heel. She tiptoed past the servants guarding the door and followed up in the cold palace.

The cold palace was deserted at this time. Overgrown with weeds, outside the hall of the cold palace, it was desolate. Wildflowers grew on the rooftops.

In the middle of the courtyard facing the gate, there is a red plum tree, and in May there are only dry branches left. The cool evening breeze outside, as soon as it blows here, there is an inexplicable coldness. Inexplicable fear and insecurity hit my heart.

Lan Guifei shuddered, pulled her clothes, and followed again.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, and the sound of the gnats made the entire cold palace silent and noisy. Concubine Lan didn't dare to follow too closely, she only dared to follow from afar. The strange thing is that this Emperor Ming Xian never stopped as soon as he left.

walked all the way to the depths of the cold palace, and it was not until she saw the tall secret building at the end of the cold palace that Lan Guifei stopped.

She cautiously walked behind the pillar closest to the secret building, and reached out to climb behind the pillar of the cold palace. Holding her breath and blending herself with the sound of the wind whirring through, she looked at the two iron-masked guards guarding the entrance of the secret building, and then looked at Emperor Ming Xian standing still, and asked, "How is she doing recently?"

The guard bowed his head and replied respectfully and indifferently: "If you meet the emperor, everything is fine with the queen's mother." ”

Emperor Ming Xian nodded, but his footsteps did not walk in directly. Then he looked up and looked at the glimmer of light from the iron barred windows on the secret tower. Then he lowered his head and walked inside.

Concubine Lan hid behind the pillar and watched Emperor Ming Xian walk in with a few peaches. Her eyes fell on the candlelight of the window of the secret building, and the shock and chill in her heart slowly spread, until she closed her eyes like a big cold hand clamping her heart.

Gentle, eager breath-breath-breath.

She closed her eyes, and the face of Concubine Wan that flashed in her mind coincided with the face of the former Empress Tong Yao when she entered the palace many years ago, and then separated and coincided.

She lifted her trembling hand and pressed down on the heart that was about to leap out of her chest, forcing herself to take a long, long, breath.

Then he lifted his limp foot, turned around and walked back.

'Click'.

"Who's there?!!" came the scolding of the guards behind him.

Lan Guifei's body as if it was frozen in ice. She looked down at the broken branch under her feet, withdrew the trembling foot, which was already too weak to support her body, and fell down limply with a 'plop'.
