Penglai Pavilion this night is destined not to be peaceful. ▲ ∴ top ▲ ∴ point ▲ ∴ small ▲ ∴ said,

It wasn't until dawn that Mo Yan pushed open the door, and the night's fatigue of the empress waiting outside was written on her face.

Suddenly, he saw the person coming out of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How is the National Teacher?" ”

Mo Yan saluted, and his face was still gloomy.

The empress retreated left and right, and said to Mo Yan: "Tell me the truth!" “

The anxious atmosphere here has not yet dissipated, and several people in the small courtyard on the other side have also gotten up early.

Qing Zhi glanced back at Bao Shan, who was freshening up, and said, "Follow me to the Lin De Hall in a while." ”

Bao Shan quickly picked himself up, and then followed Qingzhi's footsteps and went out.

Walking to the door, Qing Zhifang turned his head and glanced at Gu Landao, who had just gotten up: "Baoshan and I are going to Linde Palace, I'll come back with her later, and the three of us will go to the warehouse of the flower garden together." "Although His Majesty asked the people of the patrol team to help count the losses, I always feel that I have to do this myself, so I don't worry!"

Gu Lan was still a little sleepy in her eyes, and she cheered up when she heard the words: "Sister, I know, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Seeing the figures of the two people disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and she was the only one left in the room, Gu Lan began to dress up in an orderly manner.

In the morning of winter, the cold is freezing, and even the picturesque scenery of Penglai Pavilion is cool, plus a silence, it is a little cold from the bones.

Qingzhi took Baoshan with her, and she didn't see the palace people in the main building of Penglai Pavilion all the way through, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Baoshan." Did you find it, why did all the people in Penglai Pavilion go? ”

She and Bo Sun looked at each other in unison, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Bao Shan looked left and right, retracted his gaze, and said suspiciously: "Didn't your majesty ask them to question?" ”

"No, it won't. At this time, His Majesty should still be in the court, how could he find someone from the main building of Penglai Pavilion! "Or did we get up too early?"

Qingzhi finished speaking, her heart suddenly sank, remembering the unusual noise last night, and suddenly asked Baoshan: "You got up earlier than me, did you hear the movement outside?" “

Baoshan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Sister." The person who came to deliver the breakfast mentioned a sentence at the door"

Bao Shan said, looking at Qingzhi with a hesitant expression.

Qingzhi said impatiently: "What are you doing, just say it." ”

"It was said that the national teacher was unwell last night. Alarmed His Majesty, the atmosphere in Penglai Pavilion was very tense. "I heard those two people whispering in the courtyard, saying that everyone was worried about the health of the national teacher." "For fear that His Majesty will blame him for poor service"

"I see," Qing Zhi replied with a faint expression. "No wonder I couldn't sleep last night when I walked around the yard. I heard footsteps on the other side of the main building, and I thought that something had happened to the flower garden, so it was not appropriate to ask at this time. “

Qing Zhi glanced at Baoshan and said gently.

Then, she frowned: "The situation of the National Teacher has never improved greatly, and there are so many imperial doctors in the palace who are stunned that they have not prescribed a suitable prescription." ”

"Two days ago I heard that he was a little better. When I went to see him in the main building, I didn't see his face. But listening to the tone of his voice, I could still feel that my body was sick. “

Qingzhi said worriedly: "There was a fire last night, why is there something on the side of the main building, it is really unfavorable." “

After Qing Zhi finished speaking, she sighed heavily and said, "Baoshan, you must have heard that Your Majesty is about to go to the Northland." "The last time the fighting on both sides stopped, because of the earthquake in the north, the victims were displaced, and they had to put aside the fighting and comfort the people first."

Bao Shan nodded, and said from the good: "Yes, I heard about it when I was over there." “

There was a stumble between her words, and Qing Zhi said, "Your people will also take some of them to follow them, right?" “

Bao Shan was silent, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Sister steward guessed correctly, but I definitely won't be able to take my turn." "Hey, what's so good about the bitter cold land over there, if you can't go, of course you won't go, the armies on both sides are still facing each other, once the war resumes, there will be few casualties." Qingzhi was straightforward.

Baoshan, who followed behind her, lowered his head. "It's good that you can't go along." Qing Zhi turned around and patted Baoshan on the shoulder and said, "I know you have no choice, I have explained the reason to you in the past few days." ”

"You are also sensible, don't worry, as long as you are in the flower garden, I will definitely not treat you badly."

A look of gratitude flashed in Baoshan's eyes, and she deliberately suppressed it, but her words sounded trembling slightly: "Thank you, sister steward." "I've said it a few times, I've always asked you not to call me in charge," Qing Zhiwan smiled and said, "Just like Xiaoling, just call me sister." “

At the mention of that name, Qing Zhi's face froze, and she could see that she was quite worried. "I'm afraid this thing can't be good," a wry smile flashed on Qing Zhi's lips: "What's more, now that the flower garden is bad, a fire has burned down our small courtyard, and only the east side has burned down a corner of the warehouse." “

Qing Zhi lowered her head and said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty should hold me accountable, and I may not continue to serve as the steward here at that time." “

When Qing Zhi said this, she raised her face, and the gloom in her eyes could no longer be hidden: "At night, for this matter, I am hanging my heart, the dismissal is small, and the loss of face is big." "I've been in the palace for a few years, and I can't do it, and others don't know what to think of me!"

Bao Shan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, don't think so, Your Majesty is always aware of everything, and besides, this fire is very strange, and it may not be possible to investigate it thoroughly for a while." “

Bao Shan paused and said: "On the fire in the treasury, His Majesty also sent a female official to investigate, and also asked the hidden guards in the palace to investigate, I heard that both sides are working together to run errands, but today, where can I find out clearly?" “

Bao Shan turned his face to the other side, and said with a little confusion in his eyes: "The rumors in the palace have also slowly faded in the past few days. Even a burned corner of the treasury is being built. "As a lesson from the past, it will definitely take some time for us to investigate the affairs here."

Bao Shan confidently asserted: "If there is no conclusive evidence, it is very difficult to determine the case. "The conclusion is not convincing enough"

Bao Shan's eyes flashed: "The fire in the flower garden." I'm guessing that in the end, it's the same as the treasury, and it's hard to have a result. "What's more, there is one more important thing in front of me, my sister also mentioned just now, the northland dispute is about to resume again, after the palace banquet and festival. The army must go north, and it is still led by His Majesty himself. "When you weigh it, it's natural to put the most important things first." "The fire in the flower garden. It burned down our yard, but the loss of this piece was much better than the treasury, and it didn't kill anyone. The treasurer was only fined a penalty. Punish and punish poor supervision. "Compared with the two, we are here, my sister really doesn't have to worry too much."

Qingzhi listened to Bao Shan's call, and couldn't help but look at her, Bao Shan went around to her and looked at her with his eyes and whispered: "Before the results are found, there must always be someone in charge of the flower garden, who else can there be besides my sister at this time?" ”

Bao Shan wrenched his finger and said, "Inside the people in the flower garden." Sister Lan is a non-caring person, and I'm just a newcomer. Xiaoling was taken away by Huang Guijun again, and the rest were the men in the small courtyard. ”

She said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty will definitely not let them take charge of the affairs of the flower garden. "We only have my sister here, the first and only one who is suitable to be in charge."

Qing Zhi knew the joints, and said slightly between her frowning brows: "Baoshan, although it is a word of comfort to me, what you said also has some truth. "Sister, it's not a relief, it's a fact."

Qing Zhi glanced at her, her gaze crossed her head, and landed on the eaves of the main building of Penglai Pavilion: "I was always thinking about these things last night, thinking of the fire in the flower garden, and also thinking about the matter of the treasury before. ”

"Baoshan, based on your feelings, do you think it will be the same person on both sides?"

Baoshan was taken aback, looked at Qingzhi and said, "Sister, I don't dare to say this, this is in the palace." "Don't be nervous, there is no one else," Qing Zhi glanced at her, "What she said will never be passed on!" ”

Although Qingzhi repeatedly stated, Baoshan didn't dare to answer her question, knowing in her heart that it was different from saying it bluntly, secretly speculating and saying it were different!

She said unhurriedly: "It's just you and me, let's guess in private." “

Where did Bao Shan dare to say anything more, his lowered hands rubbed the corners of his clothes and he was silent.

Qing Zhi didn't wait for Baoshan to answer for a long time, so she turned sideways and looked at the wall in the distance of Penglai Pavilion, her eyes changing unpredictable: "Do you think that kind of fire can't be man-made?" “

Qing Zhi's eyes were gloomy and said: "Fortunately, Master Yuan is awake, and we didn't sleep too hard, otherwise I am afraid that we will be buried in the fire!" “

While the two of them were talking, they had slowly walked to the side of the bridge, it was the early morning of winter, the cold wind was blowing in the face, but the words spoken by Qingzhi were more cold than the oncoming wind, cold to the bones.

At this point, Bao Shan sighed with emotion: "What my sister said was that I was lucky last night, if I didn't hear the movement and fell asleep, I really wouldn't be able to get out." “

Qing Zhi stopped quietly, turned her head and looked in the direction of the Lin De Hall in the palace: "Speaking of this, I still have to be glad for Xiaoling, fortunately, the emperor appeared and saved her." "Baoshan," Qingzhi paused on the bridge and said, "Xiaoling is definitely going to leave the flower garden, and I will rely on you for things here in the future." “

Bao Shan was surprised: "What does my sister mean" "It's just as you understand," Qing Zhi saw the question in Bao Shan's eyes, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know why, I just can't trust Gu Lan, although your origin should make me more worried." "This time the fire, her cousin, let me not say that Xiaoling came in at the same time as her, lived in a house, and she was able to go to the flower garden half because of Xiaoling."

The two of them walked out of Penglai Pavilion, through the forest, through the lakeside, all the way to the side gate of the Linde Palace.

When he arrived at the side door of Lin De Palace, Bao Shan glanced at the person on duty at the door, and immediately said in surprise: "Sister, why are there so many guards at the side door?" ”
