Chapter 9 A Tooth for a Tooth 4

This is the first time since Yuyan met Chengying that he has seen him smile. At that moment, it was as if the deep winter had passed, and the warmth of the ice breaking on the lake quietly poured in. The man's towering eyebrows and erect nose bones suddenly softened, like a young man, but with a sense of fortitude. If he used to be like a cold wind in winter, then at this moment he is a slightly refreshing lake breeze in the hot summer.

was stunned, but heard Su E say in a low voice: "Niangniang, Ning Shuyuan has come out." ”

Sure enough, I saw that the woman was wearing a lilac silk threaded gauze skirt, and there were only a few rhododendron hairpins on her head, and she stood in front of the hall, and when she saw Yuyan, she pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward to greet her: "Sister is here." ”

Yu Yan looked at her and looked at her dressed a little cleaner, but her complexion seemed to be better than before, and her high heart finally let go, so she retracted her gaze and stared at her: "It seems that you are very good, I should have hugged Yongxi if I knew it." ”

When the mother heard that the child didn't like it, Ning Shuyuan's eyes were even brighter: "Yongxi is good?" ”

"At first, I couldn't see you, and I cried every day, but now it's fine."

Ning Shuyuan felt a little self-reproachful when she heard this, but before she could speak, she heard the big palace maid beside her say: "The two mothers are so happy, how can they stand in the wind and speak." ”

Ning Shuyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I was so happy for a while." So they entered the temple. It's just that when Yuyan looked under the eaves again, Chengying didn't know when he had disappeared.

Ning Shuyuan's recovery was really surprising, even Yu Yan couldn't believe that such a vivid person in front of her had only been seriously ill not long ago. She told her what she was worried about, but the woman also said that she really had no clue about the sudden illness, but one night she suddenly had a fever, and the next day she had a rash. As for before, no one had visited her palace, and she had not come into contact with any outsiders. Seeing Yuyan bowing her head and pondering, she said intimately: "Sister works hard every day, so don't worry about me anymore." What's more, if anyone in this palace wants to harm me, there is no need to wait until today. ”

Since she said so, it is inconvenient for Yuyan to continue to investigate. It's just that this thing is like a fish's thorn in my heart, and I can't stretch it out. It was at that moment that Yu Yan keenly realized that Ning Shuyuan's words were not so much empathetic as she was trying to hide something. It's only because she's shallow that she's noticed so quickly.

Thinking of this, Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh after all. Rao is as simple as her, and now she has her own thoughts. It's just that if she won't be burdened by such thoughts one day, Yuyan won't delve into it. After all, they are sisters, and they are each other's only support in the palace.

Ning Shuyuan's body still had to be restored, so after sitting for a while, Yuyan got up and said goodbye. She had only taken two steps out of the main hall when she was choked by a burst of smoke in front of her. Yu Yan covered his face with his sleeves, and when he saw the billowing fog drifting in the wind, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What is this?" ”

Ayaluo, who sent her out, hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said: "Niangniang forgive me, the imperial doctor said that for the sake of insurance, the things used by my little master will be burned again." After that, he turned to the little eunuch at the foot of the wall and reprimanded: "Didn't you say that you were going to the apse to burn, what kind of body is the black smoke miasma!" ”

Yu Yan took a closer look, and sure enough, it was some clothes worn by Shuyuan when she was sick, and bedding used. It's just that the eyes must be certain, and suddenly I saw some plant stalks that are not easy to be noticed, and they are already a little burnt. She had seen this kind of flower branch pattern in the embroidery pavilion before, which seemed to be a magnolia flower stalk, but the magnolia flower was clearly not a thing of this season, so it had to be paid special attention to. She saw that Ayara was just urging the palace people to clean up quickly, so she didn't call her and went away.

A few days later, late at night, Chengying came as promised.

Yu Yan naturally knew that he was here for the matter of Emperor Jin. It has been nearly a year since she left the palace, and for various reasons, she has little time to figure out the cause and effect. However, Yu Yan understood, and she had already exceeded Yu Hao's expectations when she went to this point. Because if you want to grasp the relationship between the harem and the previous dynasty, you naturally can't ignore the huge power of King Zhuang Xian, and who would have thought that it was his former beloved who betrayed Yuhao's every move.

Because of this, she didn't dare to tell Yu Hao about this qiē too early. After all, the emperor's trust is not worth the word power, and as a concubine, if he knows too much, he will inevitably cause death. However, once the tip of the iceberg is revealed, it is like a huge whirlpool, attracting her to continue to explore the hidden truth behind it. This feeling is like that year, when she turned the page of "National Policy" in the old book pavilion, the world full of temptation and power was vividly displayed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't take her eyes off.

Perhaps Emperor Concubine Jin had already noticed Yu Yan's actions, how could such a smart woman not see her purpose. But so what, the two of them, neither of them can tell the other before the whole truth is fully exposed. It's just that Yu Yan has always understood that once they fight, it is impossible for them to coexist.

While pondering, the man had already entered the hall like the wind, kneeling on one knee, just waiting for Yuyan to speak.

The air in the middle of the night is filled with the faint fragrance of the fragrant fragrance after the osmanthus is ripe, and the moonlight is like water, flowing quietly between the temples. Yu Yan lowered his head and flicked the pink obsidian inlaid with peach blossoms on his armor, and said after a while, "You are here." ”

"Yes, I've kept my mother waiting."

"It doesn't matter if this palace waits a little longer." She raised her eyes slightly, her calm eyes glowing with a cold light of wisdom, "What surprising news did you bring?" ”

"Imperial Concubine Jin is cautious, if it weren't for her subordinates lying in the palace day and night, she would hardly be able to find any clues, so it took a long time." Yu Yan knew that he would never say anything superfluous, just waiting for his next words. Sure enough, Chengying suddenly raised his head solemnly, perhaps because the killing intent was too heavy at that moment, the long sword on his waist actually roared. "There was only one time, that is, after King Zhuang Xian set out on the expedition, someone flew a pigeon to pass a book to the palace and was intercepted by his subordinates."

Yu Yan's breath tightened suddenly, she took the secret letter in Chengying's hand, and with just a sweep, her pupils suddenly contracted: "Eight Array Book Diagrams? ”

I saw that Chengying's eyes lit up, and there was an unconcealed surprise in his tone: "Niangniang understands? ”

Yu Yan heard that he seemed to have something in his words, so he only said: "I understand a little, but I can't know what it means." She paused, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, but because of her heavy heart, the smile was not as real as the hazy moonlight: "But that's okay, as long as it is enough to prove that King Zhuang Xian is indeed in contact with her." ”

When Chengying heard this, he knew that his task had been completed, but when he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly heard the woman's shallow voice in the empty hall: "When Ning Shuyuan was seriously ill, where were you." ”

The wavering was only for a moment, and the killer's composure quickly stopped the consternation in his heart. "My subordinates have never left the Chongshui Palace." He raised his eyes slightly, but saw that Yu Yan's phoenix eyes were staring at him, and under the moonlight, her cheeks had a clear and transparent luster. Chengying was stunned for a moment, and said, "Niangniang doesn't believe in her subordinates? ”

"This palace naturally believes in you, and there is no doubt about employing people." The woman's eyes flickered, and she looked out the window as if nothing had happened. "This palace has only heard people say that killers wander between life and death, and the blade is bloodthirsty, and it is unintentional. However, if one day, once you are in love, you will be unable to extricate yourself, and even fall deeper than ordinary people. Chengying, is that really the case? ”

The person in front of him was as unmoved as Hong Zhong, but there was also a bit of gloom in his words: "My subordinates have never been emotional, so I don't know what it's like." ”

Yu Yan tilted her head slightly when she heard this, and a beam of light flashed from the slender silk tangle on her bun. She was just silent for a long time, but when Chengying was about to speak again, she smiled lightly: "It's negligent to ask such a question, you can step down." ”

Chengying didn't hesitate at all, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. And she looked at the light smoke rising in the hall, and the light in her eyes finally cooled inch by inch. She asked Fang Haishan, the magnolia flower stalk with citrus juice gently smeared on the body, it will be like a rash. If it is mixed with traditional Chinese medicine, the rash will not go away for a long time, and it can almost be fake. For more than ten days, Ning Shuyuan may not have been in the palace. Yu Yan also wanted to pretend not to know, but he couldn't let them develop on their own.

Late at night, it seems that you can't see the sunrise tomorrow. Yu Yan raised his head and finally sighed heavily.
