Chapter 2 Secrets of the Palace 4

The figure was extremely hidden, and it was vaguely looking at the gloomy sky that he was out of his mind, so he deliberately lowered the brim of the black fluffy yarn and hurried west. Although I didn't see the true face of that person, with his thin appearance, there was no doubt that she was already the concubine of Emperor Jin. However, the rain was still heavy, but she didn't know what she had to do to brave the rain. What's more, that extremely unusual outfit was enough to make people suspicious.

Qingluan seemed to suddenly wake up, although she had never stepped out of the Changxin Bridge in the past six years, she knew everything when she mentioned herself. Maybe this woman with cold eyes has never really retreated to another garden, she is familiar with all the disputes inside and outside the palace, otherwise the grace is no longer there, how will she live peacefully.

But I don't know where Princess Jin went. Qingluan just suddenly remembered the token pressed under the layers of books in the other garden a few months ago, and his heart palpitated, and finally ordered Xiao Fuzi to secretly observe the woman's whereabouts. And after more than ten days, I learned that it was not accidental that the imperial concubine traveled in the rain that day, and she would travel with this outfit every few days, the routes were often different, and the purpose was only one - to leave the palace.

What could cause such a woman's persistence outside the palace was something that Qingluan couldn't understand. Maybe this was a secret she shouldn't have known, but from the beginning, she had an almost indescribable obsession with such a woman who could give up her love categorically. It's like trying to find out the truth behind the story. It is true that Imperial Concubine Jin lost her child in that thrilling palace change, but in the end, the Son of Heaven has never turned his back on her, and she has gained a lot compared to a man who has to shoulder the world.

When I saw Chengying again, it was already autumn, and it suddenly became cooler in the morning and evening, and when an autumn dew fell, I felt that the time to wave a fan to dispel the heat had passed far away. The west room behind the hall burned a newly made hundred incense, and the smoke through the thin window seemed to be a glimpse of the palace from the illusion. Su E and the others waited in the front hall, and when Chengying came with a sword, she deliberately opened the door of the hall, and the man also stood a foot away and talked back to Qingluan.

She handed a letter to the man and said, "Please present this thing to the emperor on your behalf, and I have to entrust you with other things." ”

Chengying took it into his pocket, and only raised his head again and responded: "Little master, please speak." ”

"I want you, go and find out Emperor Jin." She suddenly spoke, and a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the person in front of her, so she raised her eyes slightly, "I just want to know how she was just a woman in the past, how she supported the Son of Heaven to hold the world." ”

Concubine Jin is not a thing in the pool, and no one has dared to mention the events of that year again for many years. However, the more Yu Hao protected her, the more Qingluan felt that everything was far from being so simple. What's more, since he has already been involved in the competition for power in the court, he has no intention of retreating.

"If the little master only wants to know this, his subordinates can tell him."

Qingluan was surprised, but it was only a moment before it returned to normal. Glancing at the peerless sword in the purple wood cold jade sheath at his waist, she bowed her head slightly and motioned for Chengying to continue.

"The little master can know why his subordinates are called Chengying. The dragonborn sunspot is the shadow of the royal family, serving the royal family for generations, and the one who takes advantage of this great responsibility is given the name Chengying. When the emperor was His Royal Highness, he began to form a shadow master, and then there were other people besides his subordinates who really led him to take on great responsibilities. Chengying raised her head slightly, and when she saw Qingluan's face suddenly change, she knew that she already knew it. It was the early Concubine Jin. ”

Qingluan only felt a shock in her heart, like rolling thunder in her mind, and she couldn't help but stiffen her body. Such a seemingly delicate woman has such an unknown huge potential, but she realized something again, and then said: "So, you ...... with her"

"The princess is in the palm of her hand, and her subordinates are outside the palm. Although there are not many times to work together, they are friends who have been fighting side by side for five years. We each hold a token, the imperial concubine ordered to kill, and the subordinate ordered to kill, and the two were combined to complete the battle. ”

In this way, the events of that day are not clear, and even the importance of her surpassing the concubines, and her familiarity with the affairs of the previous dynasty, etc., have found reasons to be explained. It's a pity that Imperial Concubine Jin is a woman after all, and she can't escape a love word trick, even if she has the ambition of a man, she is helpless.

And what Qingluan can't imagine is that in those chaotic years, she has to have an amazing tacit understanding with the same indifferent young man in front of her, so that she can survive a hundred battles. If it weren't for Chengying's mention, maybe she wouldn't have imagined that there were such thick memories between the two of them. And Emperor Jin retreated, and no one will ever be responsible for the major affairs of the previous dynasty side by side with Chengying. It's just that I don't know if he will be equally sad and bitter if he bears it silently.

After thinking for a while, Qingluan raised his eyes and looked at the young shadow in front of him again. "In the past six years that the imperial concubine has been in retreat, have you ever seen her again?"

"Without the emperor's orders, her subordinates will not meet her on their own. The shadow is always loyal to the Lord. ”

His heart sank suddenly-he was wandering in the sea of swords and fire, and Emperor Jin was not like this. I haven't achieved anything so far, I'm afraid it's just because I'm too childlike.

Qingluan felt like a numb heart for a while, got up and inserted two wooden sandalwood sticks in the incense burner of the four-corner alloy, and tunneled: "Now that you are doing things for me, you are loyal to the emperor with all your heart." ”

Chengying lowered his eyes and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

"The letter will be delivered by hand. In addition, I advise the emperor not to dispose of the thirteen kings at this time, which may not be good for the present. ”

explained a lot in one breath, and Qingluan only felt sullen and had no strength. Perhaps it was the lack of time, and I felt extremely sleepy. After Chengying retreated, she leaned on Xiao Xuan's clothes to rest. Occasionally, the cool breeze is blowing, rolling the fragrance of osmanthus in the back garden, like a wisp of fragrance sneaking into a dream, the mood is relaxed, and the mind is also a lot clearer.

Suddenly, someone walked in softly, with a faint and elegant smell of a woman's incense, it turned out that Su E wanted to cover the window when she saw her taking a nap like this. Qingluan opened his eyes quietly and said indifferently: "You don't have to turn it off, I can't sleep well." ”

"The slave and maid are arguing with the little master, but when they see the wind, they are afraid that the little master will catch a cold."

I was helped up, and I was looking out the window at the dawn and autumn was full of joy. The green leaves are newly dyed apricot yellow, as if they have been smoked red and yellow overnight. A few chrysanthemums in the corner of the wall are in full swing, the wind blows the willow branches, and the scenery is intoxicating. It's another golden autumn, and time flies so fast.

She remembered that at this time two years ago, she was still just an unknown maid in the Ling Immortal Palace, and she had never thought about the future. However, fate is difficult to predict, and today, she has gradually learned to speculate on people's hearts, and even intervene in the future. Every time he thought of these changes, Qingluan wanted to smile silently.

Su E didn't feel that she was thinking about it, so she only presented one thing and said: "This is when I went to get the moon example, and Gonggong Dong entrusted the slave and maid to the little master." ”

Qingluan was surprised in her heart, and then she saw that it was a pale green silk silk, and the two pearls hanging above the tassels were shining. So he carefully took out a neatly folded and square page of paper, but it was two lines of thick ink: lotus defeat, autumn night rain, no goodbye. A green leaf, a clear song, looking forward to the dawn.

Since Yuhao's handwriting is undoubted, there are many emotions in his heart for a while, but it is warm. He treats himself with sincerity. Yu Hao stayed in the palace alone, and there was no one around him to share his worries, and he had to sigh every time he thought of this festival.

Although he is not the one who accompanies him to make a fire to keep warm in the snow, nor is he the person who can sing a cool word with him in the middle of summer, and he is not even allowed to pay a single person. However, he was willing to treat himself sincerely. If it weren't for Zichen, if he had met this young man earlier, maybe everything would have been different.

Qingluan also tried to fall in love with this king with all his heart. However, in the end, it can't. She may be able to hide her attachment to her ministers forever under a smile, but in this life, she can no longer be infatuated with others. Therefore, helping Yu Hao to become a great cause early can make my heart feel better.
