Shen Man knew that this moment was always coming, but at this time and place, it was too early or too late for such an inquiry. Maybe for Concubine Li, it's still too late after all; But for Concubine Ning, it may not be too late.

The inner sanctum is very quiet, unsettlingly quiet. Shen Man stood in front of the screen, looking at the gorgeous screen with colorful phoenixes, and unconsciously remembered Ding Feng, Ye Tiantian and Ning Weilai in his dream.

"Back to the concubine, I don't know much, I may be disappointing the concubine." Shen Man thought about it again and again, thinking that he and Tang Jiuyue didn't know much about falling into a dream, and they had just woken up, and they didn't mention half of the dream to anyone, even if Lian Yi asked, they were prevaricating. And the concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, why did she suddenly remember that she summoned her and asked about Ye Tiantian's past?

The other side of the screen seemed silent for a moment, then smiled softly. Shen Man raised his eyes and saw the shadow walking out from behind the screen, wearing only a single coat, and his boneless hand picked up a cyan robe hanging on the screen, and draped it loosely on his body. Her long hair is uncombed and her posture is languid. Leisurely walked towards Shen Man and faced the face.

"You don't have to think about it, except for her affairs, this palace doesn't want to pay attention to anything on the side."

Shen Man looked at her eyes for a moment, her eyes were very clear, but there was a slight bruise under the eyes, probably lack of sleep. The concubine's face was even paler than before, and her limbs were thin, presumably the disease that Ning Tao mentioned that day did not get better, but became a bit stricter.

"Concubine Niangniang, the deceased is gone." Shen Man explained.

Ning Guifei smiled indifferently, "Although the deceased is dead, the living are obsessed." ”

Shen Man was stunned, knowing that the concubine was indeed worried about this matter, and she was bound to investigate it to the end. So she bowed her head happily and said, "I wonder if the noble concubine Niangniang knows that the Yin-Yang Dao exam of my dynasty is about to begin?" ”

The concubine is also a transparent person, and she understands it at one point, "You are a disciple of the Taige Gate Supervisor, do you also have to take the exam?" ”

Shen Man nodded.

The concubine smiled again, "This is indeed the style of the gate supervisor, she wants everyone in the world to agree with you, so she has this request." ”

"Concubine Niangniang, I still lack a letter of recommendation."

The concubine muttered, "Since the gate supervisor intends not to let people interfere in this matter, it is not good for this palace to come forward directly. In this way, Xiao Dezi has a relative who guards the city gate, and there seems to be an onmyoji in that relative's family, although he is the last class, he is always a person in the Yin and Yang Dao, and it is no problem to give a letter of recommendation. What do you think of this arrangement? ”

Shen Man got this cheap, and he had the intention to help Ning Guifei untie this knot before, so he nodded and agreed.

"What the concubine wants to know, Shen Man knows everything."

After receiving Shen Man's affirmative reply, I thought that Ning Guifei would be happy, but unexpectedly, this dignified and elegant woman frowned slightly. She pursed her lips and frowned, wanting to ask, but she couldn't.

Shen Man took the initiative to speak and said eloquently, "Guifei Niangniang, although I don't necessarily know more than you, one thing is certain. That's Concubine Li's accident because of you. ”

Ning Guifei was slightly moved, raised her head and looked at her with those deep eyes.

Shen Man continued, "At the beginning, some people said that Concubine Li had an affair with someone else, and deliberately pretended to be sick and stayed in the palace to meet her lover. Can you believe it? ”

Ning Guifei said, "At that time, the palace didn't want to believe it. ”

"You shouldn't believe it." Shen Man's tone was quite excited, and when she realized that something was wrong, she still restrained a little, and said in a low voice, "As soon as Concubine Li entered Beijing, she was isolated and helpless, and she got your help. Although this 'help' may be 'not enough to worry about' in your eyes, it is a rare warmth for her. After entering the palace, she reunited with you, you may not know, but there is already a feeling in her heart that is silently growing and sprouting. ”

Ning Guifei muttered lightly, "After receiving her news in the palace, this palace felt that something was wrong. But at that time......"

Shen Man looked at her tired face, and understood in his heart that at that time, Ning Guifei was entrusted by Ning Xiang, and many things were a last resort. Moreover, at that time, Concubine Li was favored, and all women had a common problem, that is, jealousy. Before she knew Concubine Li's affection for her, what Concubine Ning Guifei thought about was probably just to use all her means to stabilize Ning Fu's position in the court.

"I learned about something from Ding Feng." Shen Man took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "Didn't Concubine Li pretend to be sick and stay in the capital after receiving a letter, and then was found to be fornicating with someone?" ”

"Hmm." Ning Guifei's brows gradually narrowed, as if she realized the crux of Shen Man's question.

"As far as I know, the signature of that letter is not the so-called fornication person," Shen Man paused for a moment and said earnestly, "The signature of that letter is you, Ning Wei." ”

Ning Guifei's face turned pale, and her fingers trembled slightly. There was silence for a while, and all I could hear was the crackling of the candles.

"The only person in the world who can deceive Concubine Li in the name of this palace is ......" Ning Guifei's voice was low and hoarse, full of guilt. Looking at her face, which was slightly pale due to illness, Shen Man's heart was not good. But people are like this, when they don't know the truth, they want to know whatever it takes, but after they know, they will regret being so persistent at the beginning.

But for Concubine Li, who died unjustly, it is appropriate to at least inform the truth of the person she died for.

Shen Man also knew in his heart who the "he" in Ning Guifei's mouth was. Recalling the scene in the dream, and contacting the motive for the murder that Ding Feng said outside the dream, it was this "he" who blamed Concubine Li, and then let Ning Guifei get the emperor's favor and dominate the harem from then on. And after Concubine Li's father discovered his daughter's abnormal thoughts, he allowed his daughter to be framed, and then sought the position of Shang Shuling, which is not ruthless.

Since Shen Man has made this past incident clear tonight, it can be regarded as an explanation to Concubine Li. As for Concubine Ning......

Shen Man looked up at her, her expression at the moment was hidden under the dim candle flame, as if there was nothing. But even if she couldn't see her expression clearly, the sadness revealed from her body was something that even Shen Man could feel.

If Concubine Ning knew about this from the beginning, would she also be emotionally attached to Concubine Li? After two people fall in love, what kind of scene will it be?

As a person in the harem, I am afraid that the end will not be better than now. Perhaps Concubine Li also saw the flaws in that letter back then, but in order to fulfill Concubine Ning, she was willing to die.

But this is all speculation, and what is in front of you is the end.

Concubine Li died tragically, although Concubine Ning favored the harem, but she also died in a short time.

"Shen Man," Concubine Ning glanced outside, and then said with a slight smile, "Thank you tonight, this palace is tired, so please go back first." Otherwise, this palace is afraid that some people will be in a hurry. ”

Somebody?

Shen Man looked back and did see a thin figure standing there outside the window.

Who is it? Who would get the news immediately late at night and break into the palace and wait for him in front of the palace of the concubine?

"She's been here a long time ago, just waiting." Ning Guifei smiled slowly, revealing a deep meaning, "This palace thinks that you may be able to achieve what was not done back then." ”

"Concubine Niangniang?"

"Go ahead."

Shen pushed the door out full of doubts, and sure enough, he saw a person in front of the door.

This man was handsome and dressed in a white robe. I don't know how long I stopped in this light moonlight, but I felt that my whole body was covered with clear light. When she turned around, her long black black hair rose slightly. It was still the cold bone china mask, and the gaze under the mask fluctuated slightly at the moment he saw Shen Man. But the tone of the mouth is not so kind.

"Xiaoman, in the future, the concubine will summon you, come and see the eunuch before you go. Otherwise, you may not be able to leave the palace, and you will have to squat on the root of the palace gate wall for a night. ”
