"Four Princes......"

Outside the Changning Palace, that person seemed to have known that she was coming at this time, and he might have been waiting for a long time. When his delicate facial features do not deliberately make exaggerated expressions, the curvature is just right, one more point is hard, and one point less is cowardly.

"Ah Yuan." This was the first time he had called her name, not the usual "Bodhisattva sister".

The night breeze tickled the fluff on her neckline back and forth, a little itchy. Ah Yuan lowered his head slightly, reached out to tidy it up, and the butterflies embroidered with silver silk on his hair were reflected in the moonlight, shining like water in the night sky.

Jingyu looked at her in a daze, Ah Yuan had never seen him look like this, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed, and he couldn't raise his head. She thought for a long time, and finally said, "That doll, the slave likes it very much." So the other one, please also remember to keep it for the slave and maid. ”

Jingyu smiled: "Okay, both are yours." ”

"And the hook?"

"Okay."

He stretched out the little finger of his right hand, which was slender and white as jade, very different from the hand she was accustomed to doing rough work. The two little fingers are hooked together and bent into a cross that is intertwined with each other.

When it was finally time to separate, Ah Yuan didn't say the words that he had prepared for a long time. For example, she wants to stay in the palace for a period of time, because she really can't let go of her sister, and she must see her sister give birth safely before she can leave the palace with confidence. There was no need to say much, because the moment the two looked at each other, his gaze had already told her that he understood something.

Who said he was a fool? Ah Yuan walked on the way back to Yuntai Palace, with a trace of self-blame, and felt indescribable joy. She already knew that his heart was clearer than anyone else.

When she got up the next morning, Yang Muzhi was quite surprised when she saw her: "Why didn't you go out of the palace with the fourth prince?" These days, she follows the doctor's instructions, except for getting up after lunch to move her muscles and bones a little, and lying flat on the bed for the rest of the day. Until the fetus is stable, it is no longer allowed to move around freely.

Ah Yuan came up and smiled: "Because I can't bear my sister." ”

Yang Muzhi glanced at her: "The fourth prince treats you sincerely, if you can follow him, it is better than being frightened in the palace." But I heard that when the four princes came back, they were already suffering from dementia, don't you mind? ”

Ah Yuan only smiled: "Where to listen to those palace people talking nonsense, he just looks dumb, and he is not really stupid." In the past, when he played the Tibetan hook, the five eldest princesses and Prince Xun couldn't compare to him combined. Besides, what's wrong with staying a little bit is better than those guys who are full of calculations about others every day. ”

Yang Muzhi said: "That's what I mean. If you have found a good home, don't delay your marriage because of me. ”

Ah Yuan's cheeks turned red, so he had to pretend to bow his head and loosen the silver frost charcoal in the brazier, and said angrily: "What did my sister say? Didn't you just agree to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to serve, and didn't say that you wanted to marry him......"

Rushuang happened to come in with the medicine, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Who is going to get married?" ”

Ah Yuan stood up and said seriously: "Your young lady thinks you talk too much, so I want to find a husband for you and marry you off quickly." ”

Rushuang believed it and said hurriedly: "I won't marry, I will follow Miss for the rest of my life." ”

Yang Muzhi smiled slightly: "When a man gets married, a woman gets married, you and Ah Yuan are both going to get married, what do you look like with me for the rest of your life?" In the future, people will say that I have dragged your life's events, so that you will all become old girls......"

"If you don't marry, you don't marry, you don't marry!" She slammed the medicine bowl on the table, lifted the curtain and went out.

Yang Muzhi smiled and sighed: "This girl is used to me, and now her temper is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Ah Yuan took a Hunan embroidered ** Tongchun pillow and put it at the head of the bed, helped Yang Muzhi to get up and lean on the bed, while going to bring the medicine over, feeding her spoonful by spoonful, and said warmly: "Rushuang has followed her sister since she was a child, and her feelings are also the deepest, and this incident also frightened her." ”

Speaking of the incident they heard in the side hall of Chengqing Palace, Yang Muzhi's face couldn't help but change, and her smile disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, Ah Yuan hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and said, "Sister, don't be distracted by people with a heart again." Not to mention whether what the two palace maids said was true, even if it was true, Wei Gongzi was only injured and disappeared, and he did not die. He is young and promising, and he has a good martial arts, so he must have escaped this catastrophe. ”

Yang Muzhi was noncommittal, but smiled gloomily: "I hope." Now she no longer thinks about the past, she just hopes that he can be safe, and like her, he can finally find his own home.

The New Year is approaching, and the palace is gradually becoming lively again. The queen and Concubine Min were grounded and fined for more than a month, especially the queen, Chonghui was constantly sick and sick, and this winter was originally extremely difficult. At this time, before the year, the Queen Mother issued a decree and ordered the queen to retake the affairs of the Six Palaces, and Concubine Min and Concubine Mei Gui cooperated. Chonghui's body is also a little stronger, and all the palaces are safe and sound for a while, and everyone is safe and happy.

As for Wei Han's life and death, Ah Yuan also went to inquire with Mu Xiang and Yiqiu, but there was no new news from the Queen Mother's side. For my sister, no news may be the best news.

Compared with the palaces that have decorated the palaces in order to welcome the New Year, Yuntai Palace is still as light as ever. Especially after a light snowfall, the purple bamboo stone path, the small bridge and the blue pond are everywhere a scene covered in silver, which is very pure and pleasant. Imperial Physician Xing believes that Yang Muzhi's fetus is gradually stable, and she should go out for a walk from time to time to activate her qi and blood. So in addition to handling government affairs in Xihe Palace, Jingzhen often came to Yuntai Palace to accompany her to the back garden for a walk and talk, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

On this day, Jingzhen went down to the court, and heard that the Queen Mother was feeling a little unwell, so she hurriedly went to Changning Palace to visit. In addition to Zu Cheng and others, who served with the emperor, other little eunuchs and little palace maids also stayed in the Xihe Hall to be responsible for daily sprinkling.

The eunuch in charge of the furnishings of the imperial study is called Shuangxi, who is usually a gentle temperament, and has a bit of a stutter, so he doesn't like to talk much. The other eunuchs and palace maids liked to tease him when they had nothing to do: "Shuangxi, I heard that Xiu'er is sick, don't you go to take a look?" ”

Shuangxi said: "Which ...... Why, I went to see her yesterday, okay, okay. ”

The palace maid smiled: "It turns out that you really go to see her every day, you can't take a fancy to Xiu'er, you want to be paired with her, right?" ”

Although eating food is not an uncommon thing in the palace, ordinary people are ashamed to talk about it. Shuangxi's face turned red: "You Hu, nonsense!" ”

In the absence of the emperor, they often laughed like this. As he was talking on this day, he suddenly heard the guards outside the palace gate say: "The emperor has gone to Changning Palace, this general please wait outside the palace." ”

The man covered his body in armor and took out a bronze insignia with the word "pro" engraved on it, which turned out to be the emperor's personal guard. He looked a little down, holding his right chest tightly with one hand, and supporting the palace door with the other hand: "I have something important to report to the emperor immediately, take me to see the emperor quickly!" ”

The guard guarding the door only recognized it when he looked at the waist card, and the guard with a scruffy beard and long hair was actually Xing Shiyuan, the head of the left guard. He hurriedly helped him and said, "Captain Xing's guard!" How did you get hurt like this! ”

Xing Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry about so much, I need to see the emperor immediately!" ”

The guard didn't see that he was injured, but said, "The emperor will be back soon, so the chief of the guard might as well go in and wait for a while." ”

Xing Shiyuan nodded reluctantly, and stumbled into the hall, reddish-brown blood gurgling out from his fingers. Two months ago, when the emperor heard that Wei Han had an accident, he immediately decided to send his henchman Zuo Qinwei south to find Wei Han's traces. As Xing Shiyuan expected, this trip was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the efforts of the first month and a half were all in vain. Just as he was about to give up and return to the capital, his efforts finally paid off, and he found Wei Han, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, in a hidden house on the outskirts of Beijing.

Xing Shiyuan wanted to bring Wei Han back to the palace for treatment, but he refused, it turned out that the person who chased and killed Wei Han was not a Mu thief, but the queen mother's people. Now that the Queen Mother is in power, if he rashly appears in the palace, he will be wiped out by the Queen Mother's people in one fell swoop. Of course, Xing Shiyuan didn't know the reason, why did the Queen Mother go so hard to hunt down an infantry commander who was in the limelight? But Wei Han didn't say anything, he didn't ask too much, his duty was only to find people and bring them to the emperor. So he was about to enter the palace that night to return to the emperor, but he didn't expect to be attacked again, he and Wei Han desperately escaped from the poisonous hands of those people, and he was also seriously injured.

When the two settled down again, Wei Han hoped to meet the emperor in person, but the palace walls were so deep that the queen mother was eyeing him.

At this time, Xing Shiyuan was standing in the Xihe Palace, smelling a faint ambergris fragrance on the tip of his nose, and he was a little groggy unconsciously. He knew he was too badly injured to hold on soon.

The guards outside the door went to Changning Palace to inform the emperor that the palace maid serving tea was also on duty, and only Shuangxi was left in the palace who was still sorting out the pen and ink and folds on the imperial case.

"This little father-in-law." Xing Shiyuan hesitated again and again, but still called him over and stuffed his waist card into his hand, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore, when the emperor comes back, please give this to him." ”

Shuangxi took his golden waist card, flipped through it and looked at it again, and nodded stunned: "Okay, good." ”

"Don't give it to anyone else!" Xing Shiyuan took his last breath, his strong body fell suddenly, and then closed his eyes.

"Hmm."

Shuangxi rubbed the slightly flawed waist card, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
