Chapter 4

Qingluan heard the woman's words, as if she had woken up to something. However, this suspicion can't help but chill all around. She finally said tentatively: "What the imperial concubine means is that the maid around the concubine really went to the Hundred Trails?" However, she ......"

"Gui He, who is next to the queen, has to go to Fushou Palace every day to meet the queen mother, if she deliberately goes to welcome her, everything will be explained."

At this point, the meaning is already obvious, Qingluan only felt like a man's back for a while, and he couldn't even feel the pain when his nails were deeply embedded in his palm. "The imperial concubine is very worried and the concubine understands very well, but Shui Qiao will never do such a thing."

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is that it all happened." The woman turned back suddenly, but her gaze became cold inch by inch, "What's more, as far as I know about the prince, he will never do such a reckless thing as giving and accepting private affairs." He knows better than you that the palace is dark and unpredictable, how can he be so ridiculous. But I don't know who the person who gave you the letter is. ”

As if a thunderbolt suddenly struck overhead, Qingluan only felt that the cold wind was biting, and it was clear that spring was strong, but it couldn't withstand such a thin and cool night. But all this, if so explained, would be reasonably beyond doubt. She just suddenly lost her strength and sat on the altar without saying a word.

"Looks like it." Imperial Concubine Jin sighed lightly, "This kind of thing must not be the first time, you think about it again, have you ever been suspicious before." ”

All thoughts flowed back, and it was clear in an instant. "Time...... At the moment, it was her. "Suddenly woke up. Yes, when I went out of the palace to visit the prince, I always felt that there was something too strange. It was time, and it was exactly the same as when the queen stopped her.

She went to the palace with Shui Qiao, if there was no conspiracy in advance, how could the woman know the time so accurately. It turned out to be a bureau, but subconsciously Qingluan still regarded these as coincidences. pretended that she just happened to know the hour, and pretended that she was just playful for a while, so she detoured the hundred trails.

In vain, she prides herself on being smart, but she can't see through such a trick.

"Shui Qiao, she's just a child."

"If it's just a child, how can I protect myself until now? What's more, how many people know about you and the prince. I heard that Su E risked death today, and from this point of view, it will not be her who makes a big fuss. ”

However, Qingluan was still unwilling, and almost didn't care about the etiquette of humility, and struggled: "But she has no reason to harm me." When I was a palace maid who practiced dance, the two of us were sisters because we were both Quyang people. Now, how can Shui Qiao have a different heart for me. ”

"As far as I know, the Caile Room is composed of women from Guangluo Jingzhong. Among them, I have never heard of anyone living in Quyang. Imperial Concubine Jin looked directly at her again, her eyes were already sad, "Qingluan, she came here for a purpose when she approached you as soon as she first approached you. ”

The woman finally kept silent, only to feel that something suddenly flowed into her mouth, a bitterness. It's because she thinks too simply, thinking that if she treats her wholeheartedly, there will be a good result. She has never been a subordinate in her heart, and in those days when she was helpless in the palace, if she and Su E were not there, how could she survive to this day.

"Kill her."

"No!" Qingluan stood up solemnly and opened her eyes wide, "The concubine will try her best to influence her, maybe she is just a temporary ......"

"That's fine. She is just a palace maid, and someone will tell her to do so. The woman finally agreed, "Maybe one day, you will be able to use her hand to bring down the mastermind behind the scenes." Seeing that Qingluan was depressed, Concubine Jin didn't say any more. For the woman in front of her, perhaps the sky is dark when she loses the person she believes in.

And yet what about her.

She watched her lover destroy happiness with her own eyes, and her heart was already as hard as a rock. But even so, she still survives to this day. With an undefeated attitude, entrenched in a corner of this palace.

"You have to remember that sisterhood in the palace has always been driven by profit. If you know this, you won't be unnecessarily sad in the future. ”

"What about the relationship between the concubine and the sister?" Facing the woman who had turned her back, Qingluan suddenly felt a sense of desolation for no reason, "Is my sister also treating me for profit?" ”

"Half because of the prince, generally because you are too much like me in the past."

However, no matter what, Qingluan will treat her sister as she is. It is now, and it will be now. ”

The princess looked back and smiled. "I hope so. If one day my presence blocks your path to ascension, I hope you will remember what you said today, and you will not turn against me. ”

The door of the temple is open, and the night wind is biting.

This empty Buddha hall screamed strangely because of the wind. Qingluan slowly straightened up, her white knuckles creaking. She stared blankly at the darkness outside the door, everything was still the same as before, as if nothing had happened. Those cruel conversations, blood-drenched reality, and even the sudden wry smile of the imperial concubine were all just her imagination.

Or rather, everything that has happened so far is a dream in itself. Tomorrow you wake up and don't know where you are.

She wanted to go to sleep, but her eyes lit up, and she finally got up and walked out of the temple.

The emperor went straight to Huawei Palace after getting down early the next morning.

At that time, Qingluan was getting up early to make up, and casually discussed with the maids around her about the appearance of the current palace women. Shui Qiao came in with a basin of water, and stood timidly to the side, without saying a word.

Qingluan's eyes in the bronze mirror were cold, but he still did nothing, turned around with a smile and said, "Come, take a look at these newly made hairpins for me." ”

Shui Qiao was slightly stunned, even though he had returned to normal, he took the things in Qingluan's hand and compared: "They are really concerned about the little master's affairs, these hair accessories are a hundred times more beautiful than before." It's just that the little master's face is not good today, and the scarlet lining is pretty, and it also seems that the little lord is deeply blessed. ”

"It's getting sweeter." Qingluan looked back at her, and Shui Qiao personally tidied up her hair bun, and said casually: "You have been with me for half a year, why have you never heard you mention things at home." Are your parents still alive? ”

"The slave maid is blessed, she lost her parents due to famine since she was a child, and she was raised by her brother until she entered the palace. Later, when the war broke out, the slave maid heard that his brother was captured by the government and sent to the army, so there was no more news. ”

Qingluan was slightly stunned, clenched her hand and said comfortingly: "Your brother Jiren Tianxiang must be safe and sound." ”

"The slave and maid serve the little master, and they are responsible for sheltering, so my brother must have saved the day."

For he was not coerced?

The smile in the woman's eyes faded, but she still let Shui Qiao groom herself. Maybe she has a problem, and like herself, it is an unspeakable pain. Even if every betrayal she makes is enough to kill someone, but for the rare love of the deep palace, she is willing to give the person in front of her another chance, and wait until she admits everything in person.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. "Little master, the emperor is here."
