And the palace maid next to Chen Meimei looked at the corpse on the ground, her body trembled slightly, the night after the banquet, she wanted to send bath supplies to Concubine Chen, but she inadvertently saw a man jump out of the window of Concubine Chen's bedroom, and that man was the one lying on the ground.

Shangguan Ye Lin's eyes swept to the palace maid lightly, and after looking at each other for a second, the palace maid immediately lowered her head in horror, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, it seemed that this palace maid seemed to know something.

"The lotus pond is in the middle of the imperial garden, and someone must have killed this man in an attempt to blame the concubine. Qin Liuxuan's jet-black hair was tied in a pear blossom bun, a few hairpins were inserted between the buns, and a few tassels hung down from her forehead, Ruyu's face was full of disgust, and the moon eyebrows were cold.

Hearing this, Chen Meimei sneered silently and said, "It's not that my sister suspects my sister, my sister's temperament is well known, and if this happens, it's not surprising, isn't it?" "Qin Guifei's temper, who in the palace doesn't know, will the angry Qin Guifei have a good end? Under this anger, it is not impossible to kill someone by mistake.

"Why is my sister in a hurry to push the charge on my sister, isn't my sister doing something? Qin Liuxuan lightly swept off her robe, turned her eyes and looked up along Chen Meimei's clothes, and fixed on Chen Meimei's face.

"My sister smeared my sister for no reason, is it any good for my sister?" Chen Meimei naturally refused to give up when she heard this, and ridiculed each other.

"Sister ......"

Empress Dowager Liu slammed the porcelain cup in her hand to the ground Broken porcelain was everywhere, and said sharply: "Presumptuous, the mourning family is here, how can you be allowed to quarrel here, Concubine Chen, did the mourning family let you speak?"

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine knows that she is wrong. Concubine Chen 'pounced' and knelt down.

Shangguan Ye Lin glanced at the scene in front of him lightly, took care of himself and picked up the fragrant tea, a green silk with a phoenix tassel, a red lotus bloomed on his forehead, enchanting and cold, with a shallow powder on his face, but he still couldn't hide his stunning face, a crystal necklace around his neck became more and more clear, and the white jade bracelet on his wrist lined off his skin like snow.

"This matter will be handed over to the queen to deal with, the mourning family is tired, you all step down. Empress Dowager Liu stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, lowered her eyes, and waved her hand.

"The concubine obeys. Shangguan Ye Lin got up slowly, bowed her head lightly, and the tassels hanging down from her hairpin hit each other and made a fine and clear sound, which merged with her pleasant voice into a beautiful voice, and the sound fell, and she stepped out of the palace gate.

"The concubine retired. The concubines saluted together, stepped on the lotus step, and walked out of Jinghai Palace.

"The Empress Dowager, the white girl asks to see her outside the palace. The eunuch walked in with a whisk of dust and whispered to the Queen Mother who was resting on the collapsed chair.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and yawned gracefully, "It's Mu Yi's little girl, go quickly, let her in." So saying, he got up and sat up.

"Yes, the Queen Mother" The eunuch bent down and took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

Then Bai Muyi walked in, she was wearing a sky-blue smoke gauze Bixia Luo, a white narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt that dragged the floor, and simply inserted a pearl-inlaid hairpin on her hair bun, and the rest of her hair was scattered behind her like a waterfall.

Mu Yi knocked to see the Queen Mother. Bai Muyi's eyes are like a pool of clear water, looking forward to it, he has a delicate and heroic temperament, which makes people feel ashamed of himself, like a lotus, but can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.

"Mu Yi, hurry up, there will be no one in the future, and these red tapes will be all over the province. Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand and motioned for Bai Muyi to get up, her kind face was always full of smiles, which made people look kind.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, slightly bowed and stood up.

"Mu Yi, you were sick earlier, and now you look better, right? The Queen Mother sat on a collapsed chair in a Hunan red red makeup satin palace robe, the legs of the robe decorated with glass beads fell softly to the ground, and there was a sound of rubbing, and the sound of sporadic sound was very good.

"It's much better, thank you for your concern. "The smiling face is inlaid with bottomless black night-like eyes, as calm as black pearls, the delicate nose bridge, and the red lips like cherry blossoms, like a carefully carved porcelain doll, beautiful cherry blossoms.

"As the so-called heart disease still needs heart medicine, Hao'er's medicine this morning was really timely and accurate, and the medicine that Mu Yi drank can be regarded as medicine to get rid of the disease. The Queen Mother stretched out her jade hand without a trace of wrinkles, and slowly took the tea in the eunuch's hand, and the onion fingers were wearing armor made of cold jade, inlaid with a few pigeon's blood rubies, carved into the shape of Manzhu Shahua, a beautiful and incomprehensible object.

Hearing this, Bai Muyi's figure was obviously stagnant, and then he hurriedly knelt down, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Mu Yi knows that she is wrong, Mu Yi should not leave the palace without authorization, and Mu Yi will never leave the palace without permission in the future." ”

"Haha, get up, the mourning family doesn't blame you, look at you nervous. Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly laughed, wearing a pair of Qilian Mountain white jade bats hanging upside down on her earlobes, swinging one by one, and then opened her lips leisurely, and continued: "Since Lin'er has the heart to protect, why bother the mourning family, this trivial matter in the harem has long been Lin'er's decision, Lin'er will not be held accountable, and the mourning family will naturally not chase deeply." ”

"Queen Mother?" Bai Muyi was surprised when he heard the Queen Mother's words.

It turned out that the queen mother also knew about this, but she didn't pursue her, thinking about it, another message flashed in her mind, it turned out that even if she didn't say anything, the queen mother knew it clearly.

"Lin'er, this child, although she is usually a little indifferent and has her own way of dealing with things, but she is still very kind-hearted, with her in charge of the harem, presumably those concubines who usually like to have no wind and waves will only suffer by themselves. When the Queen Mother talked about Shangguan Ye Lin, she had a bright smile on her face, lined with a gilt silver chain inlaid with treasures and phoenix butterflies around her neck, making it upright and elegant.

"Girl, why are you still kneeling, get up quickly. The Queen Mother looked down and saw that Bai Muyi was still kneeling in front of her, so she hurriedly said.

Mu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "Ye'er, quickly bring the pastries." Mu Yi's eyes are clear, his eyebrows and nose are trimmed, and the pear vortex appears on his cheeks, which is beautiful and incoherent.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at it inexplicably, and before she saw the pastry coming, there was a fragrance wafting over, a very familiar taste, this is ......

"Mu Yi knows that the Queen Mother likes to eat plum blossom cakes, so when she left the palace this time, she bought some for the Queen Mother. I saw Mu Yi pursing his lips, looking at Empress Dowager Liu with smiling eyes, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.

"Little girl, the mourning family didn't hurt you in vain. Empress Dowager Liu was very happy to pick up a piece of plum blossom cake from the celadon plate and tasted it.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, there is still a row of concubines standing on both sides, unlike in Jinghai Palace, there is no body in the middle, and the kneeling eunuch has become a palace maid, and this palace maid is the palace maid next to Chen Meimei.

"Tell me what you know, or you will know the consequences. The hair hanging down her forehead covered her expression shallowly, but she was still arrogant and cold, which perfectly interpreted the water hibiscus.

"The queen mother spared her life, the slave said, the slave and the maid all said. The palace maid trembled and kowtowed, thinking about the past in her mind, and words flowed out of her mouth, "That man's name is Mo Xizhi, and he is a musician outside the palace, because Concubine Chen wants to dance on the night of the banquet, so she ordered the slave maid to select a musician from outside the palace, and that man is the one who was chosen." ”

"And then?" The golden and jade earrings in her ears swayed, the cloud and phoenix pattern gold ring on her fingers was dazzling, her condensed eyes showed a sharp light, and the words that flowed out unconsciously carried orders.

"And then... Then..."The palace maid looked up at Chen Meimei, lowered her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said: "Then on the night of the banquet, the slave maid inadvertently saw the man jumping out of the window of Concubine Chen's dormitory. ”

The words came into her ears in an instant, Chen Meimei lowered her eyes and glared at the palace maid, and scolded angrily, "You are talking nonsense! This palace usually takes you a lot, why do you want to wronged this palace, did someone instigate you to do this?!"

Qin Liuxuan sneered, glanced at Chen Meimei opposite, and said, "It turns out that this murderer is Concubine Chen's sister, and the younger sister thief shouts to catch the thief and plant the blame, and the drama is really easy to play, ah?"

"Nonsense! What evidence does this palace do? Hearing this, Chen Meimei immediately raised her eyes to Qin Liuxuan, her expression was serious, her chest was ups and downs, thinking that she was angry.

"This jasmine hairpin, if this palace is not mistaken, it should have been given to Concubine Chen's sister by this palace four years ago, right? In the grass not far from the corpse, and was picked up by her?" Shangguan Ye Lin's slightly upturned eyelashes also fanned up and down with Leng Jun.

This jasmine hairpin was handed over to her by Mu Yi when she came to the Heart Cultivation Hall last night, and told her about the scene she saw in the imperial garden, and asked her the reason why she was in the garden at night.

Hearing this, Chen Meimei moved her gaze to the jasmine hairpin in Shangguan Yelin's hand, opened her mouth, but finally didn't speak, just grabbed the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"Does Concubine Chen still want to explain this?" A pair of phoenix eyes stared at Chen Meimei faintly, the chill in her eyes gathered, quiet and introverted, like the breeze of the dawn moon.

Chen Meimei closed her eyes in despair, a tear fell, and she opened her lips lightly, "It was all done by the concubine, Mo Xizhi was killed by the concubine, and the concubine was guilty." ”

* is better than pursuing the crime step by step, until it finds out what happened in the alley, and it is better to be disloyal than to be humiliated in turns, and the queen's means will definitely not let this matter spread and damage the emperor's face, and it is better to die like this and keep the reputation than to leave a stench for 10,000 years.

"The palace announced that it would deprive Chen Meimei of the title of Concubine Chen, enter the cold palace, give death, pass on the decree of the palace, and post the imperial list to inform that Concubine Chen had died of illness in the palace. The eyes looked at Chen Meimei, the eyebrows were cold, the words were cold and lonely, and between the words, the eyes swept towards the concubines.

These words are also a warning to the other concubines, Concubine Chen died of illness and died in the palace, and there was nothing that humiliated the royal face.

Chen Meimei was suppressed, a touch of hopelessness and self-deprecation bloomed on her lips, the queen's means are indeed clever, and she can solve the matter so thoroughly, I am afraid that the harem in the future will be exclusive to her.

Qin Liuxuan looked coldly at Concubine Chen, who was pressed down, a sneer spread from the corner of her mouth, and she wanted to blame her, but in the end, she would suffer the consequences.

The matter was settled, and the concubines slowly retreated quietly and calmly with a frightened mood.

Shangguan Ye Lin's phoenix eyes were like a pool of spring water, sparkling and lingering, and her hands were soaked in the sun-cast snow buds that could only be drunk in the palace, and she was thinking about the news from Hua Mujin before, the bombing of the Xiongnu Palace.

After brewing, the tea buds are blooming, the leaf veins are green, like pieces of jade dancing, after the leaves go undercover, Shangguan Yelin slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and lowered his eyes to taste the aftertaste.

Maybe the wine is like a fragrant blush, so charming that the country and the city are turned upside down, and the tea is next to the cheeks of the pear nest, fresh as the breeze refreshing, so she not only likes to drink but also likes to taste tea.

"Lord Wei has arrived. A voice outside the dormitory broke Shangguan Ye Lin's quiet thoughts, her dissatisfaction was written on her face, and her cold eyes gently swept the door.

"I've seen the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law is tasting tea? It's so elegant, I wonder if this king can ask for a cup of tea here at the imperial sister-in-law?" As soon as Ouyang Hao came in, he saw Shangguan Ye Lin tasting tea, put away the bad emotions in his heart, and asked.

"Naturally, please take a seat, Lord Wang. As she spoke, she poured a cup with her own hands, she was quiet and indifferent, like a sea without tide, quiet, without a ripple, but nevertheless, it was so beautiful that it was ecstatic, and it was as cold as losing its vitality.

Ouyang Hao stared at the cup of tea poured by Shangguan Ye Lin on the table for a while, and then slowly stretched out his hand to pick it up, took a sip, and said, "Drinking is fragrant and has an endless aftertaste, it is indeed a good tea." ”

I saw that in the porcelain bowl as white as jade, the pieces of tender tea were like a bird's tongue, the color was dark green, and the blue liquid revealed a burst of fragrance, which was worthy of being the best in the palace.

A cup of tea is divided into three sips, the first sip tastes the tea temperature, the second sip tastes the tea fragrance, and the third sip is to drink tea. She has always been indifferent, no matter what she says or does, people can't guess what she thinks, her unsmiling face is inlaid with eyes like ink research, calm without a trace of ripples.

"What the imperial sister-in-law said is very true, this king is only a shallow learner, and he should ask the imperial sister-in-law for more advice. Ouyang Hao pulled a stiff smile on his angular face, picked up the teacup, looked away unnaturally, and drank the tea in the teacup, as if drinking water.

Shangguan Ye Lin looked at Ouyang Hao's actions, his face was still as calm as water, and there was a faint and sparse smile on his lips, and he was silent: "Look, Lord Wang, although this teacup is hard but fragile, if it is placed in a suitable position, it can withstand the weathering of the years, but as long as it is lightly touched and falls on the ground, it may become countless fragments, and it will never be able to change back into the previous porcelain cup." ”

After that, Shangguan Ye Lin let go of his hand, and the teacup fell vertically downward, and with a 'bang', the fragments of the teacup were scattered on the ground, which frightened Ouyang Hao, and the palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace were even more frightened, and rushed in after hearing the sound.

"Niangniang, what happened? Do you want to summon the imperial doctor?" The palace maids stared at the broken porcelain on the ground, and gasped, if something went wrong with Niangniang's phoenix body, it would be difficult for them to protect their heads.

"It's okay, it's just that Hongu's hand slipped and accidentally broke a teacup, don't worry, just retreat. Shangguan Yelin took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the tea, the pale lotus-like nails on Qianqian's ten fingers were dyed bright crimson, like a little rouge carefully depicted on his lips.

"But......" The palace maids looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and were embarrassed for a while.

"Don't let Hongu repeat it a second time. Shangguan Ye Lin lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes cast a pair of crow green arcs on the snow-white powder, and the words she said were extremely light and gentle, and you couldn't predict what she was going to do next.

Ouyang Hao glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, locked his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and said slightly: "It doesn't hurt for the imperial sister-in-law to say it directly, there is no need to hint everywhere." ”

"The mountains and rivers are full of empty eyes, it is better to pity the people in front of you. Since this is the case, Shangguan Ye Lin has no need to play dumb riddles anymore, so he said it bluntly.

Hearing this, Ouyang Hao's eyes flashed half confused and half clear, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked with a little speculation: "What does the imperial sister-in-law mean......"

"Mu Yi is sensitive, she is a rare good girl, and this palace can also see that you like Mu Yi, but you are swayed by chaotic thoughts and don't recognize your heart. Shangguan Ye Lin applied a little powder, lightly swept her eyebrows, her lips were lightly tapped, her phoenix eyes flowed, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a just right smile, her smile was undiminished, and the meaning of her smile was unknown.

When Ouyang Hao heard this, his index finger unconsciously gently stroked the bridge of his nose, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were deep, as if he was a ghostly tan, and secretly thought: Maybe what he really likes is Mu Yi instead of the imperial sister-in-law, he is just amazed by the appearance of the imperial sister-in-law, so he has a sense of awe.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Ouyang Hao suddenly looked up at Shangguan Ye Lin, with a look of sudden realization, as if he had figured everything out, and a grateful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He originally came here to relieve the imperial sister-in-law, so that the imperial sister-in-law should not worry about the bombing of the Xiongnu Palace, but he didn't want to be the imperial sister-in-law who relieved him and let him clarify his heart.

Seeing this, a bright smile bloomed on Shangguan Yelin's lips, and the autumn eyes showed relief, wearing a light Luo dress with red silk embroidered begonia spring sleep, and the texture of the tangled branches and flowers, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is a delicate and convex light gold and silver color.

After speaking, Ouyang Hao got up and said goodbye to Shangguan Ye Lin, and walked towards the door, and was out of the room, when he saw Ouyang Xuanyue walking in, his smiling face never closed, "Brother Huang, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you and the imperial sister-in-law." As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Ouyang Xuanyue, and walked towards Bai Muyi's wing.

Ouyang Xuanyue looked at Ouyang Hao's refreshed appearance, and didn't understand what was going on, the slender figure slowly stepped into the dormitory, and wrapped around her waist from behind Shangguan Ye Lin, "What's the matter? What good things have you done?" with a full sense of pampering.

"Naturally, all the good things I do. Shangguan Ye Lin turned his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, so beautiful that it was suffocating, and people didn't dare to look at it directly.

Ouyang Xuanyue stretched out her well-defined hand, slid from her wrist to her arm, then slid over her neck, earlobe, forehead, and finally landed on the tip of her nose, hung it slightly, and said, "Ghost elf." The two smiled tacitly, and they tacitly agreed.

Then, I saw that he didn't smile, his expression became a little serious, and said, "Lin'er, you already know about the explosion of the Xiongnu Palace, right?"

"Hmm. A wisp of satin green silk was rolled up, and a silver hairpin was inserted obliquely, emitting a cold and faint light in the three thousand hairs, and a cold word sounded.

Ouyang Xuanyue's charming face could shine even if she didn't have a look, her smooth forehead frowned tightly, and she only heard him say: "Lin'er, this incident is obviously coming for you, I sent someone to Xianbei Palace to investigate, and I accidentally found a sulfur fire in Xianbei Palace, obviously someone planted a blame, so I want your life, how can I be restrained." ”

"Xuanyue, it's not a good thing that you are in a stalemate with Da Danyu for me like this. Shangguan Yelin sat on the sandalwood bench, looking at Ouyang Xuanyue in front of him, his willow eyebrows frowning slightly.

The shocking and gorgeous face, a pair of narrow eyes half-narrowed, and the fingers gracefully stroked Shangguan Ye Lin's forehead, and said: "It's not that I am at a stalemate with him, but this big single is unforgiving, and I have to ask you for your life to take your life, how could I let it happen." ”

"Xuanyue, what are you going to do then?" Hearing this, he bowed his head slightly, reached out and held Ouyang Xuanyue's hand, his eyes looked solemn.

Hearing this, Ouyang Xuanyue gently tucked Shangguan Ye Lin's hair behind her ears, slowly withdrew her hand, and then suddenly opened her lips, "Tomorrow, the Huns' Dadan Yu will enter the palace, I plan to openly confront him in the main hall, if he is willing to accept the compensation for the cession of land, it is good, but if he does not agree, then there will only be soldiers to meet, in this way, this matter is a little tricky, our army has just experienced a big war, and now it is the period of recuperation, and the situation is afraid that it is unfavorable." ”

"Lin'er, you're tired. The clean palm caressed Shangguan Ye Lin's cheek, and the helpless words sounded, and the eyes looking at her were soft and warm.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin shook his head, "There are many ambitious people, and there are even more people who covet the throne, and it is inevitable that these things will happen." ”

"If the unification of the world is to make you suffer so many grievances and suffer so much for no reason, then I would rather give up this throne, whoever wants it, will give it to whomever you want. His eyes were sharp, and his words were tenacious.
