(85) Greetings
Song Mier came out of the bamboo forest, but it took half an hour. She has an amazing memory since she was a child, and when she entered the bamboo forest, she had no intention of remembering An Jin's pace and direction, thinking that with An Jin following her anyway, where was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to get in or out?
But she didn't expect that she would come happily, and then quarrel with him in Shen Zhan's exclusive domain, and then leave angrily!
Shen Zhan said "let her go", An Jin was stunned in place with an "ah", and Song Mier immediately rushed forward with his feet raised.
When I entered the bamboo forest, I remembered that I didn't understand the formation at all, and I didn't remember the formula, but at this time, I had to regret turning around and asking for help, and Song Mier couldn't pull her face, her heart was horizontal, and she would die here if it was a big deal! Regardless of it, he walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest with his memory and feelings.
By the time An Jin reacted and ran into the bamboo forest, Song Mier had already disappeared. These five elements arrays are interlocking, if you take a wrong step, the formation will change one step, if two people do not go at the same time, it is very likely to be separated. Where did An Jin go to find Song Mier's people?
"?!" An Jin's old face was wiped and his heart was worried, in front of him was the queen mother who did not know a trace, and behind him was the emperor who was boundless and angry, he didn't know what was going on, but now he didn't have the courage to bear the emperor's anger, and he didn't dare to mention the queen mother who obviously provoked his anger to His Majesty at this moment, and he didn't know what His Majesty meant, so he had to enter the bamboo forest himself, although he didn't know if this kind of shouting would work, but he had to try.
・・・
"Master!" Song Mier was taking the last step and came to the edge of the bamboo forest, and the sharp-eyed Zhu Lu heard the movement. I saw Song Mier walking alone, there were a few yellow bamboo leaves on the skirt, his hair was a little messy, and there were still some scratches on the cuffs and waist, and Song Mier's face was very pale, his brows were furrowed, and his peach blossom eyes, which were originally full of blue waves, were a little unfocused.
Zhu Lu and Yu Lan glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a little bad, Yu Lan screamed, regardless of the fact that she was also in the palace, she immediately tiptoed a little, flew out with Zhu Lu, and arrived in front of Song Mier in the blink of an eye.
"Master, what's going on?!"
Zhu Lu squatted down and plucked the bamboo leaves on the skirt of Song Mi'er in distress, while Yu Lan quickly arranged Song Mi'er's hair and clothes.
What's going on inside? The master turned out to be such a wolf. But neither Zhu Lu nor Yu Lan dared to ask, whether it was related to His Majesty.
Song Mier held up his spirit and smiled, "It's okay, I broke into a bamboo forest array." ”
Why do you want to go into the bamboo forest alone? Why didn't An Jin follow?
There were a lot of questions, but Zhu Lu and Yu Lan couldn't help but ask, Zhu Lu also blinked, pretending to be surprised, "It is said that this bamboo forest array is so tight, master, you actually broke out alone?!" Under admiration admiration! With that, he arched his fists with both hands.
Knowing that Zhu Lu was worried about himself and deliberately let himself divert his spirit like this, Song Mier smiled slightly, and also raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, if you don't look at the people around this palace, you will naturally become a master!" ”
When Yu Lan heard this, she naturally widened her eyes exaggeratedly, and she no longer looked like she was quiet in front of her, "Ah! These are all masters, so don't I have such high hands? Before the voice fell, she had already jumped to a bamboo next to her and hung it, only one of her calves hooked the bamboo body, and her hands were raised high, almost touching the top of the bamboo.
Song Mier saw that it was rare for her to be so well-behaved and funny, all for herself, her heart warmed, and she also clamored for Zhu Lu to go up and compare with her to see whose hand was higher.
After laughing for a while, Song Mier's love calmed down a lot, his energy also recovered a little, his face was no longer pale, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, no one mentioned what happened behind the bamboo forest, and left here while talking, and walked towards Xuande Palace on a deserted path with few people.
On Shen Zhan's side, he watched Song Mier enter the bamboo forest alone, his heart was tense again, and then he was very repulsed by his inexplicable feelings, and his heart was depressed, and An Jin also went into the bamboo forest, and waited for a while, but he didn't see An Jin come out. Shen Zhan became more and more unhappy, "Someone! ”
A figure came out of nowhere, landed on the flat ground in front of the hot spring under the attic, leaned over on one knee and lowered his head, without saying a word, waiting for Shen Zhan's instructions.
"Yes."
The secret guard got up and flew towards the bamboo forest.
After a while, the dark guard came out with an old man in earth-colored clothes, who looked very weak, his hair and clothes were full of bamboo leaves and grass residues, and there were several scars on the back of his hands that had cut through the flesh and were bleeding.
He was carried by the guards like that, with no intention of resisting, his head tilted to the side, his eyes straight, and the guards put him on the ground, almost unable to stand up.
The old man was An Jin, he searched twice according to the correct formula, but he didn't see the queen's figure, his heart was in a hurry, and the pace under his feet was chaotic, and it was too late for him to react, so he had to dodge left and right in that formation, fortunately, he was lucky, he didn't go to the door of murder and death, but he was also frightened, when the secret guard found him, he was exhausted and out of breath, but he still insisted on breaking the formation to find the queen's mother.
When Shen Zhan saw An Jin's appearance, his heart sank, "What about people?!" ”
Of course, the dark guard knew who Shen Zhan was asking.
"The queen mother has already broken out in front of the half-pillar incense. There was no lady in the formation. ”
When Shen Zhan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, took half a step back, and suddenly raised his head, "You mean she broke through this bamboo forest formation alone?!" ”
"Yes!" The secret guard arched his hand, "There is no blood in the forest, no damaged clothes, and the subordinates chased out of the bamboo forest, only to see the figure of the mother in the distance, she and the accompanying maids seemed to be laughing, and there was no big problem." ”
"Okay, it's good, you can still laugh!" Shen Zhan clenched the jade pendant on his body, and his face seemed to be relieved and as if he was holding his breath.
The secret guard saw that Song Mier broke out of the bamboo forest formation alone, and he couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart, he had never succeeded in breaking through this formation back then, and the eldest Bo Yin and Ji Si, who were proficient in the formation, also took two hours to break the formation, and Bo Yin's shirt was torn. Later, His Majesty thought that this formation was too dangerous, and ordered someone to improve it a little, but it was not a weak woman who could break out in half an hour! Tell him to try, he is only 30% sure at most! But when he thought that His Majesty and the queen were arguing so fiercely, he plugged his ears with cotton, although he couldn't hear the content, but he also knew how fierce the momentum was, he was heartbroken, and he still asked.
"Lord, does that formation need to be reformed?"
He didn't know who the queen was, and it didn't matter if he had a strong relationship with His Majesty, but now that the two were quarreling, His Majesty must not want others to know how to get to this place.
"Change what!"
Shen Zhan was very angry when he heard the dark guard say that the queen was still talking and laughing, but when the dark guard asked if he wanted to change the formation, he stopped it without thinking about it.
waited for the words to come out, and then realized what he said, "Go back to the palace with me!" Hiding the unnaturalness on his face, Shen Zhan shook his hand and went down to the attic.
Shen Zhan walked on the ground, and the secret guards followed him through the bamboo forest and the eaves, and they stared at each other during the process, and the queen quarreled like that without changing the formation, it seemed that Lu Xun had to ask that kid to behave more in front of the queen.
An Jin was also carried by a secret guard, his spirit was already better, but he still couldn't stand up with his feet and hands weak, he was unconscious just now, this was the first time he was carried in the air, An Jin's whole body was stiff, and his already depressed spirit was even more depressed.
Shen Zhan held his breath and walked towards Taiji Palace, and on the other side, Song Mier and Yulan Zhulu had just walked to the corner gate of Xuande Palace.
Song Mier's body is really unable to walk in the Xuande Palace openly, if it is seen by others, it is rumored that the queen's mother is disheveled, and it will inevitably be another wave. Zhu Lu held himself tightly, turned left and right from the corridor of the corner gate, entered the Baoxia, and then entered the retreat of the Biwu Hall from the Baoxia, and entered a room in the side hall around the beams and pillars from the retreat, which was usually prepared for the women who came and went. Yu Lan chose left and right among them, and picked a honey-colored cloud satin placket and put it on the outside of Song Mier's own clothes, so she was really relieved.
Fortunately, Song Mier is slender and thin, even if he wears a jacket on the brocade clothes he wears today, he is not bloated, but he is afraid of the cold spring, so he wears a little more. At this time, it was the early spring season, and there were those who loved beauty and wore various colored woven brocade clothes, and there were also those who were afraid of the cold and still wore a big cloak.
Only then did the three of them straighten their chests and walk out of the side hall, walk through the promenade across the garden, climb the stone bridge and climb the ladder, and walk the road back to the Qianchu Palace.
It's not that you have to take the big road, it's just that Song Mier's mood is undecided, Zhu Lu and Yu Lanrao are having experience in the rivers and lakes, and when they saw Song Mier's situation first, they also held back a fire in their hearts, and the three of them looked a little bad, and if they went back early, they were afraid that Shujie would see the clues, and if Shujie knew, it would be almost equal to the Queen Mother knowing. A shrewd person like the Queen Mother, casually checked, they all knew that Shen Zhan and Song Mier must have caused some kind of conflict, Song Mier didn't want the Queen Mother to worry, so Song Mier usually ruled the palace in a way, and there were no palace people who came and went on the main road, but it was much cleaner than the small road.
Halfway through, Yulan Zhu Lu couldn't hold back any longer, and wanted to stop talking, but wanted to ask clearly, Song Mier saw the two of them nervous, and he didn't want to hide it, except for the content of the quarrel with Shen Zhan, but he explained in detail why he broke into the bamboo forest formation alone and how he groped out with his memory. Although the bamboo forest array will not hurt people too hard, but ordinary concubines have to lose half their lives if they don't die, and the better thing is that they can't go out in the bamboo forest, and when the hour passes, the formation will open a path for the concubines to escape. This situation is also very dangerous, his own master has been pampered since he was a child, and the most precious thing in the Song family is this Song Mier, who can't wait to hide it and not let people see it, where has he been tortured like this? Zhu Lu and Yu Lan couldn't help but grit their teeth, and their dissatisfaction with Shen Zhan deepened a little.
Song Mier concealed what he had quarreled with Shen Zhan, but Zhu Lu and Yu Lan were not like ordinary palace maids, and they were very afraid of imperial power, and they trembled and were very humble when they mentioned the emperor's concubines. The two of them did not shy away from it, and they were sisters with Song Mier, not just the master and servant, Song Mier didn't say anything, the two of them had the courage to guess, knocking on the side, seeing that Song Mier's expression darkened a little when he heard the two of them mention Rou Guiji, but he also knew that the crux of the problem was on this. Although Zhu Lu and Yu Lan have never had an affair, but when they roamed the rivers and lakes in the past, the people in the rivers and lakes were open, and they had seen a lot of this kind of thing, knowing that this was the most difficult to persuade, Zhu Lu and Yu Lan looked at each other and closed their mouths. silently followed behind Song Mier and walked towards the Qianchu Palace.
It has been several hours since Song Mier went out in the morning, although he was summoned by Shen Zhan halfway, Song Mier sent everyone except Zhu Lu Yulan back to report to the palace, but he was not worried that it was still fake. Qinghe stood at the door of the Qianchu Palace, saw the figures of Song Mi'er and the three of them, and his eyes first turned around Zhu Lu and Yu Lan without a trace, and then bowed down to Song Mier with a smiling face.
With permission, Qinghe Yingying got up, looked at Song Mier with a smile, and her expression changed greatly for a while, she was Song Mier's personal palace maid, how could she not know what clothes her master wore when she went out, and how could she not know what clothes were prepared in the second room of the side hall of Biwu Palace, why did the master come back from walking around outside, but changed into the clothes in Biwu Palace?
Qinghe had already made up a lot of things in his mind between his uneasy expressions, seeing that he was about to cry, Yulan couldn't see it, looked at Song Mier, and saw that she was not unhappy, presumably she didn't want to hide it from Qinghe, so she grabbed Qinghe and told her what happened in the bamboo forest in detail, and vaguely signaled Qinghe not to reveal it to Shujie. Qinghe was shocked when he heard this, and regardless of Zhu Lu Yulan's presence, he persuaded Song Mier to bow his head to Shen Zhan and offend the emperor, what good life could he have in this palace? Song Mier was annoyed by Qinghe's persuasion, and asked her to stare at the small kitchen to make two snacks, Qinghe was still not at ease, seeing that Song Mier's expression was heavier than Fang Cai, he was shocked to realize that he had exceeded the rules, bit his lip, and couldn't pull his head in front of Zhu Lu Yulan, so he had to go to the small kitchen three times in one step.
After sending away Qinghe, Song Mier's expression was relieved, and he entered the dormitory of the Qianchu Palace, changed into his regular clothes, and then crooked on the beauty couch with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking.
But in the time of half a pillar of incense, Qinghe hurriedly walked in lightly, she saw Song Mier resting on the collapse, her steps paused, she thought about it, turned around and prepared to leave.
"What's wrong?"
Song Mier had already opened his eyes and looked at Qinghe with a smile.
Qinghe saw Song Mi'er with a smile, and the breath in his heart was relieved, and then he frowned again, "Master, Sun Shuyi has led a few mothers here." ”
"Sun Shuyi?" Song Mier turned his face sideways.
This Sun Shuyi is Sun Xuan, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, and Yu Xi's song and dance grabbed Shen Zhan's attention.
Shen Zhan was fortunate to visit Yu Xi that night, and the next day he sealed Yue Shuyi, becoming the second concubine with a title in this palace. And Sun Xuan and Yu Xi played a song, and the relationship with Yu Xi in private seemed to be good, and Shen Zhan was also pampered for some time and sealed Sun Shuyi.
Although she is not favored now, she is also one of the few concubines above the fifth grade, and because she is bold and outgoing, she has won a lot of good popularity, Shen Zhan also goes to it once or twice a month, but she will not fall out of favor, and in this palace, she can be regarded as able to eat.
"What is she here for?" To say that this Sun Shuyi is outgoing and bold, but she is good friends with Yue Shuyi and Yu Xi on weekdays, and she is not close to the queen and the concubine.
Song Mier was already tired today, and wanted to rest early, but Sun Xuan brought a group of people to wait outside, so Song Mier had to suppress his fatigue, "Announce them to come in." ”
Sun Shuyi and the others were not qualified to come to the Qianchu Palace, and no matter how tired Song Mier was, he had to announce that Chukong came in again and changed his clothes, and walked towards the Liangyi Hall in good spirits.
Sun Xuan and the others were already waiting in the side hall of the Liangyi Palace.
They were greeted by Dexiu, the chief supervisor of Xuande Palace.
Song Mier raised his eyes and saw that Sun Xuan was leading several low-ranking concubines to thank Dexiu for the refreshments brought by the people with a smile, and one Miaohua also swallowed the dim sum into his stomach in one bite, without any doubt and apprehension, and the rest of the concubines were also tea drinkers, tea drinkers, and dim sum, but they were not restrained. The temperament is somewhat similar to Sun Xuan, no wonder they can come to Xuande Palace together today.
However, looking at this situation, these people were also very respectful to Dexiu, and the smile on their faces did not decrease, and it didn't look like they were looking for trouble.
Song Mier's eyes swept over, but he saw that there were still a few concubines standing on the side of the main hall, all of them were fresh-faced, they had never seen them in the morning or when they were in a daze, compared to the previous concubines, they were dressed very plainly, and their expressions were also very restrained, and a few people were standing on the side, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the main hall.
Chukong came with Song Mi'er, she saw Song Mi'er standing in retreat and frowned, looking for her eyes, she couldn't help but pause in her heart, and muttered to herself, "Why did they come in?" ”
Without waiting for Song Mi'er to ask, Chukong hurriedly said, "Master, one of those people is Jieyu of the seventh grade, there are three nobles of the eighth grade, and two beauties from the eighth grade. ”
The harem of the Great Calendar stipulates that only concubines of the sixth rank and above are eligible to visit the queen. Otherwise, if the emperor is lustful, there are 3,000 people in the harem, and a group of people come and go to the queen's bedroom every day, even if the Xuande Palace can be pretended, the queen is tired of coping, and I don't know how many incidents will happen.
Therefore, these Jieyu beauties below the sixth grade, Song Mier has never seen them, seeing their nervous expressions and plain clothes, a few of them can even be said to be cold, presumably they have not been favored, I don't know how they entered their two halls today, and how Dexiu let people in.
