As Rong Xi expected, Lian Qi's figure did not go towards Rong Qiu's yard, she stopped and looked all the way, carefully walked towards the center of the backyard.

As the lights around him became brighter and brighter, Rong Xi couldn't help but say to Leng Yixiu: "I'm afraid the place where this girl ring is going is not ordinary, looking at this direction, it seems to be going to the center." ”

"The center of the backyard, who is qualified to live there, do you need to say?" Leng Yixiu's eyebrows raised slightly and said.

"It seems that many things are not the same as the rumors," Rong Xi looked at the brilliant place with a far-reaching gaze.

"Sometimes...... What you see with your own eyes may not be true," Leng Yixiu took over, and there seemed to be a trace of pain in his tone, "Not to mention rumors." ”

Rong Xi was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't know how His Royal Highness King Ning could be so sensitive tonight? Listening to his tone, he must have remembered the time when there was a misunderstanding between himself and that sour Confucian Zhang Yang before, so as to lead him to run away from the house, right?

It seems that after returning home, I still have to appease His Royal Highness King Ning.

Thinking of this, Rong Xi stretched out her fingers and gently hooked him, the two fingers against each other was the shortest distance between the heart, she smiled in a low voice, and said in his ear: "Let's take a tour of the backyard of this Qi Palace, and see if there is any good scenery, do you need to learn from it." ”

Leng Yixiu curled his lips when she said it, and the two of them stepped lightly on their toes, like two black and bright lightning bolts, flashing quickly in the night.

The central courtyard of the backyard, the majestic construction, the raised eaves, the heavy courtyard gate, and the fluttering lights on the courtyard gate are far from being comparable to the courtyard where Rong Qiu and Zuo Qinglian are located.

At most, they are chic or elegant, and if you look at that place alone, of course, they can be regarded as exquisite, but compared with this place, they still fall behind.

And here, the surroundings are silent, and the guards are stricter than other courtyards, and the real mistress of this palace lives quietly, Princess Qi.

Lian Qi obviously didn't want people to know that she was here, going around three times and five times, narrowly bypassing several patrolling guards, judging from her actions, it was definitely not the first time she came here, but she was very familiar with the patrol rules here.

She did not go to the main door, but went to the most inconspicuous side door, knocked lightly twice, and her voice was low, but then she opened in response.

A hand stretched out from inside to hold the door, as if someone looked at Lian Qi, and then, the door opened a little wider, faintly revealing a bit of turquoise cuffs, Lian Qi also walked in quickly, and the courtyard door was closed again.

This small courtyard gate naturally couldn't stop Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi, and the two of them picked a dense tree in the courtyard, found a comfortable place to sit down, and looked at the situation inside leisurely.

In front of her was a mother-in-law, dressed in a turquoise blouse, leading Lian Qi forward, asking in a low voice as she walked, and Lian Qi answered them one by one.

Knowing that she was not discovered, the mother-in-law's expression relaxed slightly, and her steps were a little faster, and Lian Qi lowered her head and followed her through the corridor.

Lian Qi's movements and expressions were much more respectful than when she was facing Rong Qiu and Zuo Qinglian, her waist was involuntarily straight, her steps were not fast or slow, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Walking to the door of the main house, the mother-in-law asked Lian Qi to wait outside first, and entered the room by herself, not much time, she came out again and took Lian Qi into the house.

A window in the room was ajar, and there was a faint smell of medicine, Rong Xi raised her nose and sniffed it, and then, her brows furrowed slightly.

Lian Qi entered the room, there were a lot of lights in the room, but each one was not particularly bright, she knew in her heart that this was Princess Qi's habit, and she didn't like too bright lights.

The mother-in-law waved her hand, and the rest of the maids and others retreated, and the room was quieter, the candle flame was dancing, and the person on the couch looked at it gently.

The woman lying on the couch has slender eyebrows and eyes, and the five ends are delicate, not so outstanding beauty, but there is a kind of warm and jade luxury, which is fine polishing, and can only have the temperament after years of precipitation and accumulation.

She was quiet, but her eyes shone brightly, and people couldn't be awed in their hearts.

Rong Xi was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that Princess Qi actually had such a good demeanor, and her temperament and inner beauty, I don't know how many times better than Rong Qiu and Zuo Qinglian's delicate and amorous, and I don't know what this Leng Yiwei thinks, she still wants to give up such a woman, it's really blind.

As if knowing the doubts in her heart, Leng Yixiu said softly: "I haven't seen Princess Qi for many years, her demeanor is still the same, but she doesn't look particularly good." ”

"Huh?" Rong Xi heard what he said, and immediately asked curiously, "Do you know any deeds of this Princess Qi?" Speak up and listen? ”

"This princess of Qi can be regarded as a talented woman in the capital back then, although she is young, she is full of poetry and books, and her maiden family and the Liang family are still world friends." Leng Yixiu gave a brief introduction, he mentioned Liang Jingyao, presumably Rong Xi would be able to understand that Princess Qi's maiden family had attainments in talent and learning.

"Oh?" Rong Xi was really surprised, "Doesn't it look like other women, who are more quiet and introverted, then...... How could Leng Yiwei think about divulging his wife in the first place? ”

"Divorce your wife?" Leng Yixiu's mind came to the scene when Leng Yiwei asked for an edict in the court, and a hint of mocking laugh lines appeared on the corner of his mouth, "How could he really divorce his wife?" His father would not have allowed him to do that. ”

"You mean...... He was just trying to show Rong Qiu? Rong Xi couldn't help but feel ridiculous, thinking that Rong Qiu often talked about this matter.

"Naturally," Leng Yixiu nodded and said: "Although the Murong family is in the middle of the road, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter what, Yu Wei is still there, not to mention, the Murong family and the Liang family are world friends, and Murong Jin only has such a daughter, although it is much younger than Liang Weiyan, but the two are friends who have forgotten their handkerchiefs, and Liang Jingyao categorically has no reason to ignore it." ”

Leng Yixiu's gaze turned to Murong Shi in the room below, and his eyes shrank slightly, "This Miss Murong is outstanding in learning, there were many literati and scholars in Murong Mansion back then, and now many officials in the court also have a close relationship with Murong Jin, if she is really ...... This is also a large force. ”

Rong Xi held his chin in his hand, pondered for a while and said, "Then let's wait and see what happens, maybe things will always surprise us at the turn of the peak." ”

Lian Qi saluted respectfully, "The slave maid has seen Princess Qi." ”

Princess Qi said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Yes." Lian Qi stood up and stood aside in a regular manner, not squinting.

"What's the matter with the rush to see this princess?" Princess Qi held her head in her hands, and her smooth silk sleeves slipped down, revealing a delicate wrist, slender as bamboo, and her skin as jade.

"Back to the princess's words, Zuo Qinglian was ordered by the prince to be grounded in the courtyard, and she was not allowed to go out of the courtyard without the prince's order, and ...... The prince will never see her again in his life. Lian Qi said in a low voice.

Each of her words was low and muffled, and it played silently in the room like a strange tune, shattering the silence of the room.

Princess Qi's face didn't change much, but her eyebrows raised slightly, moving slightly, she snorted coldly, and sighed as if talking to herself, "He...... It's still that ruthless. ”

No one dared to answer this sentence, and the room became quieter, making people's breathing can't help but tighten gently, as if they couldn't see the pressure coming layer by layer, and the air was also pulled away by a trace.

"But," after a long time, Princess Qi whispered again: "As long as you don't die, there is still a chance, perhaps...... At a certain opportunity, she came again, and maybe, isn't her father still at the border? I guess it was this that kept her alive, otherwise ......"

Princess Qi's voice was three points colder, the cold moonlight outside the window fell on her eyebrows, and there was a little more chill on her calm face, and the cold ice in her eyes was staggered, reflecting a cold and sharp light, "Just by virtue of her identity and the ugly things she has done, how can he leave her?" ”

"The princess is right," replied Lian Qi, "and the slave maid saw a dark pinch mark on her neck, presumably ...... It was the prince who was so angry, she used Concubine Rong's stupidity and impulsiveness to lure Concubine Rong to attack her, and deliberately let the slave leave a line to index the prince to go, just to remind the prince that she still has her father at the border, and it is still useful. ”

Princess Qi smiled coldly, the corners of her mouth were full of sarcasm, "Value...... The women in this house are all commodities to be evaluated, and they only exchange their own value for a little affection, affection and shallowness, all about what you bring to him. It's a pity that those women can't see through and can't figure it out, they just think it...... His true mood can be thrown at will, and he can be obtained by his own appearance and talent, and he doesn't know it...... Even if he is as ugly as a pig, if you have a family background and background that he can use, he can still smile gently at you and make you think that he truly loves you. ”

Her tone was calm, speaking smoothly without ups and downs, as if she was reciting a well-written report, without a trace of color, but it was so, but the more frightening it was, as if the emotion and heat in her heart had been ruthlessly removed by a giant hand, leaving only that empty and numb body, the wind passed, and it was cold to the bones.

Rong Xi was colorful, squinted her eyes slightly, this woman is really not simple, she can see it so clearly, and she says it so clearly, who knows how long and how many heart-wrenching waiting and torture are behind this calm and waveless wave, and then the disappointment again and again, and then numbness, in order to be able to exchange for calmness and tranquility at this time.
