"Hmm......" Gao slowly closed his eyes, it stands to reason that after Jing Yan entered the door, Mrs. Ji should cooperate with Jing Yan to manage the affairs of the mansion, but who made Ji always have the intention of letting Wang Luan ascend to the throne, and he refused to let go of the power in his hand, but in the end he ended up like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Have you been to your mother? Ruihong told me that she had smashed everything in the house these days. ”

Jing Yan said softly: "Yan Er naturally went to see it, and asked the housekeeper to replace all the utensils in Chonghua Garden with wooden ones, and wrapped all the edges and corners of the furniture with soft cloth to prevent them from hurting my mother." ”

"You're still a heart," Gao nodded, "She did something wrong herself, she killed so many people in a row, and she was cheap to go crazy!" This matter has to be talked about in the house, lest others follow in her footsteps! ”

Gao's words meant something, and Jing Yan immediately nodded and said, "There will never be such a thing in the mansion again." ”

"Well, I'm glad you understand my painstaking efforts. Let's hope that's all so. ”

"Yan'er heard that my sister is clamoring to see her mother......"

Gao frowned: "That girl, who used to look well-behaved, has become completely rude with her crazy girl, lock me up, and then release it after I understand it!" ”

"Yes, grandmother."

When I walked out of Fulongxuan, it was already close to afternoon.

The closer we get to winter, the stronger the wind blows. Bai Li immediately put a crane on her and closed her thin neckline, but suddenly heard a voice from behind her.

"Mrs. Yujun, please stay."

Jing Yan turned around, and then what caught his eyes was a thin face, a pair of misty peach blossom eyes were a little timid, but he couldn't hide his belly that was already high and bulging.

"Aunt Yang, I don't know what to find my wife?" Chu Qing said vigilantly.

Since knowing that this woman is not as pure and kind as she seems, Chu Qing and Bai Li's evaluation of her has greatly decreased. Now, there is no Mrs. in the house, no Aunt Hu, only she is left, no matter how you look at her, she is the final winner.

"I ...... The concubine has something to ask her wife ......" Yang Rou's voice was as small as a gnat.

"It's windy here, and my aunt still has a younger brother in her belly, so please go back first." Chu Qing replied coldly.

Yang Rou gritted her teeth, finally couldn't help it, raised her head and said, "It's about Aunt Hu." ”

The wind outside Fulongxuan was very strong, Yang Rou was still wearing a thin spring shirt, standing in the wind at this time, the wind blew her layered skirts, and the thin shadow and what she said were blown away in the wind indiscriminately, blurry and inaudible.

Yang Rou only felt very cold, even if she had a big belly, she seemed to feel nothing, and kept her head down.

If she didn't figure out why, she couldn't live in peace.

Jing Yan paused and did not look back. Her sleeves were blown up by the wind, as if they were about to fly away. Her eyelashes drooped deeply, casting a green shadow on her beautiful and white face, but at this time, her voice penetrated the gust of wind and fell into Yang Rou's ears like a knife.

"What does Auntie want to say?"

Yang Rouse shrank for a moment, instinctively afraid of this woman who could bring down Mrs. Ji, but she understood the current situation, stabilized her figure, and then took out an embroidered bag from her body: "This pair of blue earrings has not been returned to Mrs. Yujun......"

Jing Yan blinked, and the white pear beside him hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Yang Rou, who lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, continued: "There is one thing, if Madame never tells me, I don't know how to deal with myself in the future......"

Jing Yan turned his head with a smile and a pure expression: "Isn't the situation in the house exactly what my aunt hoped?" Mother was locked up, Aunt Hu, who was competing for favor, was gone, the news from the other end of Zheng Guogong's mansion, the old lady would go back soon, in the future, this mansion would be my aunt's world, if my aunt still didn't understand something, she should swallow it in her stomach......"

"Nope! That's not true! Yang Rou's face was surprisingly ugly, her lips pursed, "Aunt Hu is me...... I hurt you, Mrs. Yujun, why are you ......?"

"You want to ask me, even Madame and I have disposed of it together, why did you let you go alone, didn't you?"

Yang Rou's head hung deeper.

There was an irrepressible heat in the air, and Jing Yan looked at the gray sky, and could not see any sunlight, as if it was about to rain.

And her voice, which was colder than raindrops, fell little by little.

"Because, Aunt Hu was not killed by you at all."

The wind was loud, but Jing Yan's voice still came to Yang Rou's ears word for word. Aunt Yang seemed to feel inexplicable for a while, and then, as if she had been slapped by something out of thin air, she suddenly raised her head, her lips trembled, and she looked at her in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

Jing Yan smiled: "I said, Aunt Hu's death was not directly caused by you. ”

"Impossible! Obviously I pushed her down......" Yang Rou kept shaking her head, the scene at that time was vivid, obviously she pushed her down, obviously Aunt Hu never came up again......

"Yes, you had an argument with her at that time, she was propped up on the railing in disrepair and accidentally fell into the water," Jing Yan said slowly, then turned around and slowly walked to her side, "After Zhang fell into the water, I asked you for help, but you didn't save her and let her fall into the water at a thought." ”

"You were running away, but you forgot one of the most important things." Jing Yan's eyes looked at her directly, and she was covered in hair.

"What's the matter?"

"Zhang's she knows water."

"What?"

Yang Rou's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Jing Yan with disbelief, recalling the scene over and over again.

She was patronizing and escaping at that time, seeing that Aunt Hu sank into the water and never floated again, she thought that she was no longer saved, and ran away early in order to avoid people's eyes, without thinking too much about it, but she didn't know that she was still alive!

Jing Yan looked at the frightened expression on her face, sneered, and continued: "You didn't save her at that time, and she also saw the killing intent in your eyes, so she didn't immediately surface out of the water, making you think that she was dead, and after you left, she crawled out of the water again." ”

"So...... So she didn't die at all? This is simply a fatal answer, if this matter is known to the master, and he does not have the identity of Ji, he will only be left with a dead end.

Jing Yan looked at her frightened appearance, touched her abdomen with one hand, trembled slightly with the other, just sneered, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "No, she is dead, but the person who killed her is not you." ”

Yang Rou's nervous mood was completely relaxed with the appearance of this sentence, Chunzhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but saw a relaxed expression on her face.

Yang Rou thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "It's Madam!" ”

"Not bad. That day, Aunt Hu picked up a life from the water, thinking that she had escaped, but she didn't know that she had encountered a group of killers in front of Tingsong Tower. ”

At that time, Aunt Hu had just climbed out of the water, and she was chased by someone, and she wanted to run back to Tingsong Tower, but she remembered that the third lady Wang Shu was still writing in the yard, so she naturally would not do anything that affected the third lady, so she chose the place of refuge as fast as possible.

Zhang's woman, no matter how fast she escapes, can't escape a well-trained killer. Those killers have a clear goal, and after seeing her enter the smoke and rain fast, they are more like catching a turtle in an urn, locking the door from the inside.

At that time, she was seriously injured, and after struggling to escape from the window, she no longer had the strength, and died in front of Tingsong Tower, outside the door of her beloved daughter.

"The killers sent by Madame cleaned up the bloodstains, tied Zhang's body to stones and fell into the water, as long as Xiyuan is still unoccupied, then this secret will always be retained, you will always think that Aunt Hu was killed by you, and the Ji family can always use this reason to shackle you."

After Jing Yan said these words, she only felt that the stone pressed on her chest finally loosened a little, if she hadn't touched the blood stains on the window that day, I'm afraid all this would not be known, and Yang Rou would continue to help Ji because of guilt.

"So Aunt Yang, why did I just let you survive in the palace, you should understand that only those who keep their duties can continue to serve their father, do you understand?"

Aunt Yang looked at the ground in a daze, as if she hadn't heard anything, until Jing Yan had already walked away, she was still standing in place, the wind blowing through her skirt, as if the whole person was about to disappear.

On the way to the monastery, the maidservants on both sides waited respectfully with their hands down, and they didn't say anything all the way.

Entering the courtyard, Jing Yan waved his hand and retreated, but left the first sunny white pear alone.

This kind of behavior is not once or twice, and the two are not surprised, but they heard Jing Yan suddenly sigh and said, "Bai Li, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Ah......" Bai Li, who was holding a kettle and preparing to pour water, heard the young lady calling her, and suddenly came back to her senses, and the kettle in her hand almost overturned.

She had a lot of things to say to Jing Yan in her heart, but because of her various wishes, she didn't know how to speak for a while. But it's all hidden in the stomach, how the hell does the young lady know?

Jing Yan took the water cup in her hand with both hands, and was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Why, I pursed my lips all the way, and people who don't know still think that I have treated you badly." If you don't want to serve in this courtyard, I can send you out of the house......"

Bai Li suddenly knelt down in panic: "Don't, Miss!" Slaves and maids still have to serve the young lady, slaves and maids don't go out of the house! ”

Looking at her trembling appearance, Jing Yan stepped forward to help her up and patted her shoulder gently: "If you want to stay by my side, then don't hide it, just say it directly, no matter what it is, I will listen." ”

Bai Li's face turned red suddenly, she smiled a little embarrassedly, her eyes glanced at the painting on the table in the study, thought about it again, and still spoke: "Miss don't care about the slave and maid's eyes, the portrait of Mrs. Ning painted by the eldest young master of the slave maid is somewhat similar to Miss......"

"White pear!" Chu Qing hurriedly covered her mouth and cautiously looked at Jing Yan on the side, but saw that her expression was calm and she didn't mean to be angry.

Ning's portrait, when he saw it for the first time, Jing Yan had already noticed this secret, and now, someone finally saw it, so that this painting could no longer appear.

I saw Jing Yan slowly get up, enter the study, roll up the painting of Mrs. Ning, and put it in the bookcase.

"This matter, that's the end of it," Jing Yan paused, looked at the empty table, and suddenly said, "What about the eldest young master?" ”

Bai Li, who was trembling on the side, suddenly heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "The eldest young master, he has been in the army all these days, and he has not come back. ”

Jing Yan sighed, it's not that he hasn't come back recently, it's that since he heard the news, he hasn't heard from him again. She wasn't worried about any danger to him, after all, Jing Yan had already seen that Ah Cheng's martial arts were by no means comparable to those of idle people, but there were some injuries that others couldn't solve at all.

For example, family affection.

For example, deception.

At the same time, Wang Song, who was in the tent, was reading a book under the candlelight, and Ah Cheng beside him was standing aside with a sword, but his expression was a little sleepy.

Since the young lady told him the truth of Ning's death, he seemed to have changed overnight, and he didn't say a word all day long, no matter how Wang Luan provoked outside the tent these days, he never stepped out of the tent for half a step, and no one except Ah Cheng was seen.

Ah Cheng tried to persuade him to go out for a walk many times, so he could only accompany him to read in the tent. Ah Cheng was also born in the army, and he really doesn't like these bookish things on weekdays, he can't figure out how the young master who can defeat a hundred on the battlefield can still read these tadpole-like words.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but let the sleepy insect take advantage, and while leaning against the wall, he began to squint, and in an instant the whole tent began to shake.

"How's going on in the house?" After a long time, Wang Song, who had been reading silently, suddenly raised his head and asked.

Ah Cheng patronized and dozed off, but did not hear Wang Song's question. Wang Song's expression remained unchanged and asked again.

"Ah Cheng, what's going on in the house?"

Ah Cheng reacted suddenly, the long sword in his hand almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly helped him up, and almost slipped again, and the whole person got up from the ground in embarrassment, and when he finally stood firmly, he saw Wang Songzheng looking at him with a smile on his face, and he immediately jumped up in fright.

"Big young master!"

Wang Song's face was kind, his eyes lowered, and he said patiently: "Let me ask you, what happened in the house?" ”

Ah Cheng put down the saber, and his face finally showed joy, the eldest young master has not spoken for so many days, he thought that he was really dumb because of the stimulation of that incident, but now that he sees it, he can still speak, and immediately said: "The eldest young master, the letters sent by the lady are piled up in the corner, do you want to take a look for yourself?" ”

Wang Song shook his head: "No need, you can pick something important and say it." ”

Ah Cheng scratched his head, wondering very much. On weekdays, as long as it is a letter from the young lady, the eldest young master will read it word for word, sometimes it is a day, and he has to look at it again and again, and he can laugh when he looks at it, and the kind of smile in his bones has never been seen by others.

But later, the eldest young master didn't even read anything, and when the letters came, they were just put aside, and there were already several of them piled up now, thinking about it, it was because of Mrs. Ning's matter.

Ah Cheng thought for a while, and then said: "Zichenhou's wife Wang went to our house to ask for someone, and when she saw that she was about to leave, the housekeeper suddenly said that the female corpse was fished out of the lake, and it turned out to be Aunt Hu's, who knew that the lady suddenly went crazy when she heard this, and admitted that she had murdered Aunt Hu, and even bit Wang's hand, and she was already locked up in Chonghua Courtyard at this time!" The old lady said, if the lady is not good for a day, she will be locked up in it for the first day, if the doctor cures her, she will be sent back to Zichen Houfu, and she will never be embarrassed to stay in the palace again! ”

Ah Cheng said that he was full of righteous indignation, he had long seen that his wife had bullied the eldest young master, and he didn't even like it with the second young lady and the second young master, and now the young lady finally gave the eldest young master a bad breath, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.

But after saying these words, he couldn't hear any reaction from Wang Song at all, Ah Cheng looked at the sitting man suspiciously, and even thought that he was asleep at the moment, but found that his face reflected in the candle flame was indifferent, and it seemed so strange.

You know, the son of his family is notoriously gentle......

"Young master......" Ah Cheng couldn't help but call him.

"It's just locked up...... Wang Song muttered to himself, shook his head, and then sneered.

Ah Cheng wanted to say something more, but heard Wang Song say lightly: "That's it for today, put out the candle, I'll sleep first." ”

Since Ning's death, Wang Song has developed the habit of sleeping alone, no matter who it is, even if it is a small maidservant, he can't bear the presence of anyone in the bedroom. He hadn't slept a single sleep in the past few days, and when Ah Cheng heard that Wang Song wanted to rest, he immediately walked out of the room and stayed outside the tent, not letting anyone approach.

The candle flame had been extinguished, but Wang Song, who was lying on the bed, did not close his eyes open.

After Ah Cheng left, Wang Song quietly got up from the bed, because the lower half of the body could not move at all, he could only pull the mattress and get up little by little, support his body on the edge of the bed, and breathe heavily. Quietly staring at the darkness in a daze.

The inky darkness made people feel like they were in a trance for a moment, and Ning's face appeared in front of him again and again, and Wang Song couldn't help but be a little stunned.

He stretched out his hand and trembled to touch the familiar face, but soon, her face disappeared again, and what remained in front of him was still dead black.

Wang Song's throat was very sore, and the pain was almost torn, but he endured it and didn't make any sound.

Mother...... The child will avenge your death......

In the silent night, with only the whirring wind in his ears, Wang Song looked at the gradually taller figure of Ah Cheng outside the tent, thought for a long, long time, and finally found a letter from the pillow.

The letter had been sent from the palace a few days earlier. He unfolded the letter again, read it carefully, and his eyes fell on the orchid where it was placed.

Wang Song looked at the inky orchid, and his eyes became extremely complicated.

Night after night, everything was silent.

In Huasheng Palace, Mu Hibiscus is combing the hair of Concubine Lan, who got up early.

Yesterday, the emperor did not stay here, counting it, yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, the emperor did not come. I don't think about it, I must be resting in the Liuguang Hall of Sheng Meiren again.

The emperor favored Sheng Meiren, this is already a well-known thing in the palace, and it is not surprising.

However, this month, the emperor didn't even go to Kunning Palace once, and even Huasheng Palace only came to see it occasionally and didn't stay overnight, which is a bit too much for a harem that pays attention to even rain and dew.

At this moment, Concubine Lan is looking at the person in the mirror, with long eyebrows and sideburns, red lips like beads, and a temperament like an orchid, vaguely no different from when she entered the palace.

She sighed, I don't know if it's because of the 100,000 soldiers, or the emperor really relies on her face, the new people in this palace go in and the old people go out, but she has been sitting firmly in the position of Concubine Lan, it is said that in some time, she will be crowned a concubine, and when the time comes, there will be only the queen who will press on her head. And the queen is a weak person by nature, and the position of the real lord of the harem is Concubine Lan herself.

Even so, there was still a lingering shadow between Concubine Lan's eyebrows, as if no matter how good a good thing was, it couldn't make her happy.

Mu Hibiscus was also very troubled in her eyes, so she could only pull up her favorite updo, and insert a glass-colored jade hairpin into her hair, and the tail of the hairpin was made into a kingfisher pattern, with a piece of hanging beads in her mouth, and with that supple and colorful face, the whole room was suddenly brightened up by Concubine Lan's face.

At this moment, a familiar figure flickered in front of the palace gate. Mu Hibiscus looked up, then lowered his head and whispered to Concubine Lan: "Niangniang, Father-in-law Feng is here." ”

Concubine Lan's eyes lit up: "Invite him in." ”

Feng Dehai got the summons and hurriedly ran in, wiping the sweat on his face, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Concubine Lan, General Longhu has sent a letter." ”

Mu Hibiscus took the envelope in Feng Dehai's hand, lightly unfolded the letter paper, and a line of delicate and smart handwriting met Concubine Lan's eyes.

"Niangniang, the general ordered someone to send a letter early in the morning, and the slave knew that Niangniang was in a hurry, so he quickly whipped it to Niangniang's hands, for fear of delaying Niangniang's major event......" Feng Dehai's voice was very well-behaved, coupled with his already very handsome face, he looked very flattering.

Concubine Lan looked at it at a glance, her face was even more joyful, and she raised her eyes to Mu Hibiscus and said, "There is still a piece of jade that was paid tribute by the Western Jin Dynasty last time." ”

Mu Hibiscus comprehended, and then went down to get the jade and sent it to Feng Dehai's hands.

"Thank you Niangniang, the slave will definitely serve Niangniang with all his heart!" Feng Dehai looked at the piece of jade, and his heart was so happy that he was about to go crazy.

This thing is a treasure paid tribute by the envoys of the Western Jin Dynasty, and there are only two pieces in the world, and the value is very high!

Not long after Feng Dehai left, Mu Hibiscus whispered to Concubine Lan: "Niangniang, that thing is a gift from His Majesty, is it really good to give it to him like this?" ”

Concubine Lan smiled and shook her head: "No matter how important the jade pendant is, it is just something outside the body, but the news he brought me is indeed unparalleled in the world." ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded as if he didn't understand, but saw the small Ten Princes running out of the gate of Huasheng Palace, and the nurse who followed behind still couldn't catch up with him, so she hurriedly stepped forward to confess.

"Ten Princes...... Ten princes, slow down! ”

The tenth prince Yu Wenjie ignored the nurse at all, and got into Concubine Lan's with all his brains
