After staying with Mrs. Helan for a long time, Tang Ying found that she was really a good person. was always worried that Tang Ying's youth would be delayed in the palace, and recommended his brother and even son to Tang Ying every day. And Tang Ying had to refuse her kindness again and again.

Xiao Meng finally brought the news of Li Chunfeng, saying that as soon as December arrived, he would take leave to go home to visit relatives on the grounds that the New Year was approaching. He didn't have to go to court every day, and he was old according to the official record, so he quickly approved it. When I left Chang'an to see the situation, I really didn't succeed in asking for illness and returning to my hometown directly.

He said it so lightly, in fact, to make Tang Ying feel at ease. As everyone knows, sorting out official affairs these days, whether it is the ten parts of the "Sun Tzu Sutra" that has been completed, or the new calendar that has not yet been completed, it is like a thousand pounds of heavy burden on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to give up. But soon he comforted himself that there was no end to learning, and he had at least found an official position for his son through hard work, which could be regarded as a lot of gains.

After determining the day of departure, Tang Ying pinched his fingers and looked forward to the arrival of that day. She no longer practices during the day, but often accompanies Wu Mei to talk about some chicken soup for the soul that she used to see on the Internet, hoping to make Wu Mei face life more easily. made Wu Mei laugh every day, she was going to escape into the empty door if she continued like this.

If the days continued like this, Tang Ying might be able to leave Chang'an without any worries for a long time, but before leaving, when she was about to formally propose to Wu Mei to leave, an unexpected thing happened.

When she got up in the morning, Wu Mei finished her makeup and was leisurely discussing Chang'an's recent popular hairstyles with Tang Ying. Tang Ying saw that the atmosphere was very harmonious, and was just about to say goodbye. Suddenly, a small eunuch outside the door sneaked in and said to Wu Mei: "Queen Mother, today the emperor was bored in the Ganlu Palace, saying that he was going out for a walk, and somehow he heard the sound of crying on the road, so he turned into the cold palace. ”

"What!" Wu Mei's color changed abruptly, and she slapped her on the table, and asked sharply: "Did he go in to see the queen and the concubine?" ”

The little eunuch was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "No, we haven't met, but we just talked through the door panel for a while." ”

Wu Mei stood up, the corners of her eyes twitched unconsciously, and she looked hideous. Tang Ying looked at her strange appearance and couldn't help but persuade: "Don't be angry yet." You also know that the emperor is the most benevolent, and that doesn't mean anything. ”

Tang Ying's words have always had a magical liliang for Wu Mei, hearing this, she seemed to calm down a little, closed her eyes and suppressed her anger, and sat back in her chair, "You said, what did you hear." ”

The little eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his face, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I asked them if they were okay." ”

"And then?" Wu Mei's voice was so cold that it looked like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

And then ...... And then the queen ......"

"Huh?! What did you say? Wu Mei's phoenix eyes suddenly widened, shooting out two cold rays of light that could pierce people. Xiao Taijian felt speechless, and hurriedly kowtowed into the garlic, "The cheap slave is wrong, the cheap slave is wrong!" It was the convict woman who cried and cried to appeal to the emperor, saying that the relationship between husband and wife in the past was deep, which made the emperor cry. ”

"It's the other way around!" Wu Mei stood up again, gritting her teeth with hatred, "These two vicious sluts won't let me go even if they are like this!" And plot against me! I'm going to cut them with a thousand cuts. Tang Ying listened to it and felt that the matter was far less serious than it had been said. It's just that Wu Mei has experienced the persecution of witchcraft these times, and she seems to have become a little nervous.

Tang Ying stood up, pulled her back to sit down, and persuaded her with good words: "Mei Niang, calm down." Once in a while, it's okay not to overreact. You think, the emperor has been there, and you cut them with a thousand knives, doesn't this show that you are monitoring the emperor's every move? I'm afraid that there will be a rift between the two of you. ”

Wu Mei carefully analyzed her words, and finally sighed and said, "What you said is reasonable. I almost fell for their discord plan. Well, forget it this time. If there is a next time, I will definitely cut them with a thousand knives! ”

After saying two thousand knives after saying this, Tang Ying couldn't help frowning, "Mei Niang, you used to devote yourself to the Buddha before, why do you want people to die at every turn?" I think if you are really afraid that the emperor will have anything to do with them again, you can simply demote the two of them to concubines and send them out of the palace, or even send them to the frontier. ”

Wu Mei lowered her eyes and looked at the ground for a long time, and finally raised her eyes to look at Tang Ying and said, "Ying'er, I'm really scared." You know how much I've suffered to get to where I am today, but the mention of these two people always makes me feel like a nightmare. Alas! ”

She squeezed Tang Ying's hand tightly and continued, "But since you intercede for them, that's it." Anyway, with you by my side, I will always save the day. All right...... Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to distribute them! ”

After Tang Ying heard this, he smiled reluctantly, but his heart felt like he had pressed a thousand catties of boulder. Wu Mei's temper is becoming more and more obedient now, just like the galloping carriage, and she doubts that no one can stop her except herself.

stayed up until the afternoon, and heard that the emperor had ordered someone to quietly send charcoal and quilts to the cold palace. Wu Mei held back her anger and stared at herself in the bronze mirror without saying a word. Although he didn't make a big fuss, Li Zhi came to ask for joy in the evening and was rejected by her, so he turned to Mrs. Helan in a huff.

Tang Ying went to bed with Wu Mei as usual, and in the middle of the night, Wu Mei sat up with a scream, and kept touching her stomach and shouting: "Child, my child!" ”

Tang Ying lit a candle, and it was easy to calm her down, only to see cold sweat and tears covering her face, describing her as very haggard.

Putting his arm around her shoulders, Tang Ying asked, "Mei Niang." Are you having nightmares again? Wu Mei sobbed: "It's Concubine Xiao Shu!" I dreamed that she was going to cut open my belly and eat my baby again. Tang Ying stroked her back slowly, "It's just a dream, you see, you're not pregnant, right?" ”

Wu Mei opened her frightened eyes and touched her flat belly, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, "Yes, you're right." I didn't, I wasn't pregnant with a baby...... Yes, I didn't ......," she whispered more and more, and finally slowly lay down and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Tang Ying couldn't sleep anymore, and the day of her departure was approaching, how could she speak?

In a blink of an eye, on the eve of her departure, she received a message from Li Chunfeng and agreed to meet outside the Jinguang Gate on the west side of Chang'an. Li Chunfeng had already cleaned up in the Xishan courtyard at this time.

After Tang Ying received the letter, he made up his mind again that he must not change his mind temporarily. Therefore, she was ready to sneak away in the middle of the night, and only wrote a letter to tell Wu Mei that she had something to leave Chang'an, and begged her not to look for her.

That night, Wu Mei slept peacefully, and there was no sign of waking up when she was almost there. Tang Ying quietly stuffed the letter under her pillow, and then took Xiao Meng and quietly left the Zhaoqing Palace.
