Standing in front of Qiyun and looking at her with concern was Concubine Pan. Concubine Pan is neither the former side concubine of Yilong Wangfu Yilong, nor does she have the experience of common hardships with Yilong, nor does she have a prominent family background. In addition to her outstanding appearance, she is a beautiful concubine in the palace, and she is an inconspicuous concubine in the palace.

She is gentle and quiet on weekdays, likes to flip through books, knows how Qiyun writes the history of the Jin Dynasty, and occasionally goes to the study to talk to Qiyun for a few words, which can be regarded as having some friendship with Qiyun.

Concubine Pan saw Qiyun wake up, and said with a smile: "The county lord finally woke up, and you have been asleep in this tuyere for a few hours." Your palace maid stood aside, and when the palace saw that she was tired, she couldn't support it, so she asked her to go back. ”

Seeing that Concubine Pan was not suspicious at the moment, and cared about herself, Qiyun looked at her gratefully: "This cloak is also Concubine Shu's? ”

Concubine Pan nodded, approached Qiyun, and whispered in her ear: "The county lord can't wait for the emperor, so it's better to go back to the palace." It's nightfall at this hour, and the emperor ...... I drove a sheep cart to patrol the harem. ”

"Sheep cart?" Qiyun was amazed.

The emperor set up a sheep cart to patrol the harem, and there are historical records of Sima Yan, the martial emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. After the unification of the Three Kingdoms, he pursued a luxurious life as he was originally very frugal. Without an opponent, he began to lose his enterprising spirit, and built a large number of buildings and palaces.

When unifying the state of Wu, Sima Yan brought all the original Sun Hao's harem beauties of more than 5,000 into his harem, making the total number soar to more than 10,000. There were so many beauties that Sima Yan was at a loss, so he had to think of a way, pull the car with a sheep, sit on the car himself, and let the sheep pull him to roam freely in the palace. He got on the sheep cart, and the sheep stopped at the gate of the palace, and at night he came to the woman of the palace and sowed rain and dew on her.

Liu Yilong, who has always been frugal and cautious in his words and deeds, how did he sit in a sheep cart and learn from the extravagant Sima Yan. What was his purpose in doing this?

Qiyun frowned and pondered for a while, held Concubine Pan's hand, and said to her sincerely: "Niangniang's beautiful face, Lan Xinhui." But there are too many concubines in the palace, and the emperor is dazzled. Tonight, do you want the emperor to come? ”

Concubine Pan has been in the palace for a long time, but she has not been fortunate to be Yilong, and when she heard Qiyun say this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Let the palace people help Qiyun and go to Yuxiu Palace where Concubine Pan lives together.

Qiyun followed Concubine Pan into the inner room of the palace and whispered to Concubine Pan. Concubine Pan nodded again and again after hearing this, and instructed the palace people to do what Qiyun said.

Then, Qiyun smiled and asked Concubine Pan to bathe and change her clothes, waiting for good news. Although Concubine Pan did what Qiyun said, she was still uneasy in her heart, twisting her handkerchief with her hands, and she seemed absent-minded when talking to Qiyun. Qiyun just comforted her to be restless.

After a while, there was a commotion at the gate of the palace, and a palace maid hurriedly walked over and came to tell Yilong that he was coming to Yuxiu Palace.

Concubine Pan was overjoyed, pulled the sideburns around her ears, checked that she was dressed inappropriately, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Yilong walked briskly into the hall, and after recuperation, Yilong's face could not be seen to have fatigue. He picked up Concubine Pan and nodded in praise: "Yuxiu Palace, the name is good, Zhong Ling Yuxiu, just worthy of the wisdom and virtue of the concubine." ”

Concubine Pan got up and said delicately: "The emperor praises the concubine so much, but the concubine really doesn't dare to be." It's just that the emperor has never come to Yuxiu Palace. Today, how did the emperor think of the palace of his concubines? Let the concubines be terrified. ”

Liu Yilong stroked Concubine Pan's face with his hand and replied with a smile: "The inner palace is vast and there are many concubines. There is nothing to do today, I want to know which concubine is destined for me, so I took a sheep cart to travel. Unexpectedly, the sheep cart arrived at the gate of your palace, but it stopped. Sheep will linger for you, let alone people. ”

Yilong and Concubine Pan entered the inner palace, and Concubine Pan smiled and said, "There is also a distinguished guest in the concubine's palace who wants to meet the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Qiyun appeared from behind the curtain and saluted Yilong.

When Yilong saw Qiyun, he smiled lightly: "Decorate the palace gate of Yuxiu Palace, insert bamboo leaves in front of the door, and sprinkle salt water on the ground outside. Sheep like salt and bamboo leaves, so when Yilong's car passed by Concubine Pan's Yuxiu Palace, the sheep would stop and stop. This is all Yun'er, right? ”

When Concubine Pan heard this, her face changed slightly, and she didn't know how to answer.

Qiyun raised his head, looked at Yilong with clear eyes like water, and replied calmly: "A few days ago, Concubine Pan Niangniang came to the Shuixie Study to see the Jin history compiled by Gong Xie, and learned that Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, had the practice of patrolling the harem in a sheep cart. Sima Yan had no way to govern the country, and soon after the founding of the country, the Eight Kings Rebellion occurred, and the Five Wanton Rebellion occurred. The capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an fell, and the two emperors and their relatives were captured and then killed, except for Sima Rui, who went south to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Sima clan was almost completely slaughtered. This may be Sima Yan's retribution for raping his wife and daughter in the world, separating the world's flesh and blood, and tyrannizing the world's wealth.

The emperor has also read the first draft of this Jin history. Today, the emperor took a sheep cart to patrol the harem. Yun'er was puzzled by this, so she asked Concubine Pan, the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and his name is wise, how can he follow the practice of Emperor Wu of Jin to mislead the country?

Concubine Pan replied to Yun'er, the emperor is fond of being proficient in literature and history, and he must be thinking that there is a concubine in the harem who has a book on literature and history, and the emperor is borrowing a sheep cart to seek a bosom friend. Since Niangniang understood the emperor's thoughts, she imitated the practice of the concubines of the Jin Palace and guided the emperor's sheep cart to Yuxiu Palace. ”

Qiyun's words are reasonable. Although Yilong was suspicious, he couldn't find a flaw in Qiyun's words, and said to Concubine Pan: "I didn't expect Concubine Ai to have such a careful mind. Knowing my intentions and thoughts is rare. ”

Seeing that Yilong believed Qiyun's explanation, Concubine Pan put down the boulder in her heart, and said with a smile: "The county lord is smart, and like the concubine, I expected that the emperor would definitely come to Yuxiu Palace tonight." There are a few words, the county lord wants to say to the emperor, does the emperor give the county lord a chance to speak? ”

Yilong nodded: "Aifei has already said so, I will give Aifei a face." The county lord has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Qiyun knelt down and bowed down, kowtowed, and said, "Please ask the emperor to read Yinxue young, although she was born in the Chaoying Palace, she is not at fault, let her go." Yin Xue and Yun'er are like sisters, how could they poison and assassinate me? Someone must have borrowed the hand of Yin Xue, which is not good for Yun'er. Yun'er thought that she was born in troubled times, but she was fortunately protected by the emperor and did not want to hurt the innocent. ”

Yoshitaka pondered for a moment and said gently: "The Asahying Palace has eyes and ears in the four countries, and I have to guard against it. A piece of the county lord's heart, I will think of it. The county lord's body is important, you go back and wait for news. ”

Seeing Yilong say this, Qiyun knew that he had no intention of saying anything, so he had to go back to the palace and wait for news.

She waited anxiously all night, and did not fall asleep until the hour of her childhood. At noon on the second day, I woke up and saw Yinxue sitting on the edge of the bed. Qiyun struggled to sit up, looking at Yin Xue happily, and the two hugged each other and cried. Qiyun tugged Yin Xue's hand and asked her if she had been tortured in prison.

Yin Xue avoided answering, only saying that she was safe and sound, but her eyes were depressed and her face was pale and miserable. Qiyun saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but be faintly worried.
