Chapter 248: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Shiso, what day is it? I faintly heard a little sound, like a suona. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In a place like the Cold Palace, where there is no daylight, as Wen said, as soon as it gets dark, you know that this day has passed, and as soon as the day dawns, a new day will come.
At first, Huo Yunxuan was still a little interested in calculating the days, but after a long time, slowly, Huo Yunxuan was impatient to calculate, and it was gone, how many days have passed in this cold palace, and she has no concept, and she only vaguely knows that she will come to this cold palace for several months.
Since knowing that Mrs. Huo died, Huo Yunxuan has become more and more disinclined to talk, and when she has nothing to do, she is in a daze with an expressionless face, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. When Wen came, Huo Yunxuan could still say a word or two to her, but only one or two sentences.
Zi Su went out to inquire, but he didn't see the shadow of Cheng Xian Gundam and the others, and spent a lot of silver to buy off the guards outside the door, and he learned something from them.
"Lady, today's personal Chinese New Year's Eve, this is going to be lively outside."
Chinese New Year's Eve ......
Outside...... It's lively.
is also, it's just that it's just a lack of oneself, how can it not be lively outside?
"Is the Empress Dowager back?"
Huo Yunxuan was looking forward to it, thinking that the Empress Dowager would come back, and maybe the Huo family would still have a glimmer of life, even if she let herself die here, she would be willing.
Since he came here, Huo Chen and Yi Hai have treated themselves with their hearts and lungs, and they can't watch them die or live without dignity.
"The Empress Dowager didn't know where to get the news, she heard the news of Mrs. Huo's death, and she was rushing back......"
After that, he paused, and then said: "But the body of the Queen Mother, if it is rushed back, it will also be time for dinner." If the emperor had a heart, he would definitely not teach the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager West to know the ...... of the lady in this cold palace."
Yes, I am now a turtle in an urn, and I am a fish on the board, isn't it for others to slaughter?
No...... She can't sit still!
"What about Gundam? Where did Gundam go? ”
Lately, I can't seem to see Gundam ......
Huo Yunxuan frowned, she didn't seem to see him during the snake disaster last time......
"Gao Guard and Cheng Guard should have taken annual leave......"
As he was talking, Zhishu was overjoyed, pointed out the window, and said with a smile: "Lady, look, it's Cheng Guard." ”
Huo Yunxuan turned her head, but saw that Cheng Xian had already come to the window. Smiled and opened the window, Huo Yunxuan tilted her head to look at him: "I was looking for you." ”
"The emperor has an order, and the minister will leave the cold palace for a while."
Hearing him mention Gu Shaoyuan, Huo Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and spoke to him through the window
"It's been rare to see a tall guard lately."
Cheng Xian said with a smile: "The two of us were ordered to take care of the comfort of the cold palace and the prison, the minister is here, and Gundam is on the prison side." ”
Huo Yunxuan nodded and asked, "Didn't the Cheng guards have a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve today?" ”
"Where will the imperial guards have a holiday," Cheng Xian smiled and waved his hand, Huo Yunxuan always didn't like to talk in the past, and lowered her head as if she was extremely unhappy, but now seeing her seems to be interested, Cheng Xian is also happy, thinking about talking to her a few more words, and going back to return to the emperor: "The lady is in a good mood today." ”
"Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally it is to be happier."
Huo Yunxuan smiled and opened her eyes, although when she talked to Cheng Xian, Huo Yunxuan kept a smile on her face, but that smile never reached the bottom of her eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Yunxuan was able to speak, with a hint of pleading in her tone
"Guard Cheng, I want to bother you with something, but I don't know if Guard Cheng is willing to help."
Cheng Xian immediately clenched his fists and made a compilation: "What does the lady command?" ”
Although he has been in the cold palace, Cheng Xian has always respected him, and has never looked down on her because she was relegated to the cold palace.
Huo Yunxuan shook her head with a faint smile and sighed: "It's not an order, it's just thinking about a Chinese New Year's Eve today, it's so ......."
"It's my first Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace, so it's always going to be lively."
"I think the guards will send some fireworks."
"It's just fireworks."
Cheng Xian arched his hand and asked, "What else does the lady have to say?" ”
Huo Yunxuan smiled and shook her head: "No." ”
After that, he got up and gave Cheng Xian a blessing gift: "The sinner girl thanked the guards." ”
"Don't you be," Cheng Xian hurriedly avoided Huo Yunxuan's salute, and waved his hand again and again: "Lady, don't you want to break the minister?" ”
Huo Yunxuan raised her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile: "The time here is all thanks to the help of Cheng Guard, it's just a courtesy, Cheng Guard naturally deserves it." ”
Cheng Xian sighed and asked again: "Lady...... What does the lady have to say to the emperor? ”
Huo Yunxuan shook her head, the corners of her mouth were full of self-deprecating smiles: "Now that I am a waste concubine, I have already provoked his disgust, and if I drag you to bring anything, it will be all nonsense, but it will disturb the emperor's good interest." ”
The implication is that there is nothing to say to Gu Shaoyuan.
Cheng Xian sighed, made a compilation, and then retreated to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"She really doesn't have anything to say to me?"
Gu Shaoyuan couldn't see what emotion was in his eyes, Cheng Xian saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said Huo Yunxuan's words to Gu Shaoyuan as they were.
After Gu Shaoyuan heard this, there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand, signaling him to step back.
Cheng Xian should be and was about to retreat, but Diao Jinzhong came in from the outside with a curtain on his face: "Your Majesty, Fifth Master Huo asks to see you!" ”
"Huo Lao Wu is back?" Gu Shaoyuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Please come in!" ”
Diao Jinzhong should be, and hurriedly opened the curtain and went out to invite Huo Xiangyi, who was wearing plain clothes, in.
"Sinner Huo Shi, meet the emperor!"
"Hurry up!"
Gu Shaoyuan has been looking happy since Huo Xiangyi came in, and hurriedly beckoned: "Sit down." ”
"Thank you, Lord Long, the sinners."
Huo Xiangyi saluted Gu Shaoyuan again, then sat on Gu Shaoyuan's side, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Diao Jinzhong: "This is the correspondence between the Xue family and other places in recent years, and the criminals see that there are many loopholes, which can be regarded as evidence." ”
Gu Shaoyuan looked through the letters, and nodded again and again: "You did a good job......
"This is the letter that the Xue family handed to the queen mother, although the letter sent to the queen mother in the palace was burned by the queen mother, but the letter sent to the Huo family was packed by the poll."
This letter was transferred by Huo Chenyi, but Gu Shaoyuan was in the palace, and if he stayed on his body, he would be discovered by Xue Ruran, so he kept it to Huo Chenyi, Huo Chenyi was imprisoned, so he hid it in a corner of the Huo family, Huo Xiangyi will return to Beijing, and sneak into the sealed Ningjun Mansion at night to find the letter.
Gu Shaoyuan took the letter, looked through it, and nodded: "Good job...... What was found in the Xue family? ”
"This ......"
Huo Xiangyi took out half of the talisman from his arms and handed it to Gu Shaoyuan, with a heavy face: "The criminals felt that this talisman did not look like the one of the Xue family, so they brought it to the emperor to see." ”
"Bring it in."
Diao Jinzhong hurriedly presented the talisman to Gu Shaoyuan. Gu Shaoyuan took him and looked at him for a long time, and his expression became more and more cold.
This is indeed not the Xue family's piece, but this piece of talisman and the Xue family's piece combined, it can mobilize the entire southwest battalion!
No wonder Gu Shaoyi didn't have his own will, and he could return to Beijing from the barracks so easily!
"Your Majesty?"
Being called by Huo Xiangyi, Gu Shaoyuan came back to his senses, and Huo Xiangyi nodded lightly, his face was still cold: "At first, your eldest brother entrusted this matter to you, and I was still a little worried, but now it seems that you have done a good job." ”
Huo Xiangyi smiled shyly, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know the fourth sister...... Fourth sister, she ...... Are you alright? ”
"Your fourth sister is ......"
If you listen carefully to Gu Shaoyuan's words, you can hear the choked throat in Gu Shaoyuan's words
"Your fourth sister, she has a very bad life......
Gu Shaoyuan lowered his head, and anyone could hear the gnashing of teeth and forbearance in Gu Shaoyuan's tone.
Gu Shaoyuan had long admitted that Huo Yunxuan was her bottom line. Now that she can't even protect her beloved woman, she has been in such a place for several months for expediency, even if Huo Yunxuan ignores herself in the future, she has nothing to say.
On the side of the cold palace, not long after Cheng Xian left, Gundam returned. When Gundam came back, he saw Huo Yunxuan standing at the end of the courtyard with the two maids beside him, talking and laughing, absorbing the little sunlight that was already scarce.
Since the death of Mrs. Huo, this is the first time that Gao has seen Huo Yunxuan.
Today, Huo Xiangyi asked to see the emperor and was bumped into by him. What Gu Shaoyuan was going to do, although he didn't know very well, he had been by Gu Shaoyuan's side for so long, and he could guess the holy will to some extent, knowing that Gu Shaoyuan had not taken Huo Xiangyi away, it showed that Gu Shaoyuan had the intention to release the Huo family, and sent himself over to take care of Huo Yunxuan on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly protecting, what did Gu Shaoyuan think in his heart, he and Sun Xueqiao had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
What Gu Shaoyuan has to deal with is the Xue family, and it has nothing to do with her Sun Xueqiao, so they naturally won't meddle in things. Besides, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fishermen profit, and they are happy to see such things happen. It's just that the Xue family can't survive, and the Huo family can't stay!
He came over this time, he deliberately took a stroll in front of Huo Yunxuan, so that Huo Yunxuan could see him, and after a while, he rolled over the window in the house, Huo Yunxuan didn't see him, he must have only taken him with him all the time, and when Huo Xiangyi had an accident, no one would suspect him.
Sure enough, because it was common in the palace before, Huo Yunxuan also valued Gundam, and when she saw Gundam, Huo Yunxuan nodded slightly, which was considered to have greeted her, and Gundam returned a salute and entered the house.
After Gundam entered the house, Huo Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, just now she was hiding something in her heart, and she was afraid that Gundam would see it.
As soon as Gao Gao entered the house, Huo Yunxuan instructed Zisu and Zhishu to do things.
"Shiso, you go to the south and get more firewood; Zhishu, if you go to the east, there is a lot of firewood there. ”
The two of them should be, Huo Yunxuan instructed again: "It must be full, don't let others see it." ”
The two of them naturally hurried to respond, bent their knees, and retreated as instructed.
After the two left, Huo Yunxuan went to the corner where she was common with Mu Qingyajing on weekdays, and a lot of firewood was piled up here. Just to the north, with the help of the Wen family, Huo Yunxuan will be more relaxed.
Bundled piles of firewood and hid in an inconspicuous place, Huo Yunxuan was about to straighten up and sneak away, but she didn't want to, she saw a figure flying away from a wall, that figure ...... and the figure who pretended to be a ghost in the cold palace at that time to scare himself...... Same!
Huo Yunxuan was taken aback, and the first thing she thought of was whether Zisu and Zhishu would be in danger.
Huo Yunxuan hurriedly got up, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so she hurriedly ran to her house, and saw that Zisu and Zhishu were looking for themselves in a hurry, Huo Yunxuan was relieved.
"Lady!"
Zisu Zhishu and the others also saw Huo Yunxuan, so they were both relieved, and they all ran to Huo Yunxuan's side, looked up and down, and sighed: "Where did the lady go?" ”
"I went and picked up some firewood, too."
"The lady is really ...... After we pick it up, we'll pick it up again, lady, where can we do these rough jobs! ”
"It's all here, where else can you say anything about golden branches and jade leaves?"
Huo Yunxuan smiled bitterly, shook her head, and sighed: "Okay, don't mention this." ”
After that, he looked the two of them up and down and asked, "How is it?" Is there anything wrong with the two of you? ”
The two shook their heads and looked at Huo Yunxuan suspiciously, Huo Yunxuan saw the figure in the corner of the wall, and sighed: "I don't know what he is doing this time." ”
When Zi Su heard that the figure appeared again that time, he couldn't help but gasp, looked around, and didn't see the figure of the snake, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly entered the house and sprinkled some realgar brought by Cheng Xian last time in every corner, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief.
Gao Yuan thought that with Huo Xiangyi's skills, he would definitely not be his opponent, but he didn't want to, but when he really fought, he understood why Gu Shaoyuan would be in this position now!
Gu Shaoyuan has always been strict with his subordinates, and the little brother who was once thin and helpless in his eyes is now struggling to fight.
Seeing that the curtain covering his face was about to be taken away by Huo Xiangyi, Gao Gao was startled, and hurriedly fled in order to protect himself.
Huo Xiangyi looked at the back of the man who was fleeing, squinted his eyes, and recalled the skills of that person, who was simply from the same school as himself......
Huo Xiangyi pondered in place for a long time, and then returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
That figure is all too familiar.
In the evening, Mu Qingya sent someone to send dumplings to Huo Yunxuan to eat, and asked someone to deliver the message, saying that the Empress Dowager was back, and she was going to the palace gate to greet her, but she couldn't leave, saying that she would come to talk to her later.
Huo Yunxuan turned out to be dumplings, took the fireworks sent by Cheng Xian in the morning from the table, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she waved her hand at Zisu and said, "Let's act." ”
After that, he instructed: "Remember to come to me quickly." ”
The two of them should be busy, walking quickly in the direction of those firewoods.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the West have already entered the palace. Everyone didn't want the two of them to come back so early, so they all hurried out.
The Empress Dowager didn't see Huo Yunxuan's figure, and frowned suspiciously and asked: "When the mourning family left, the girl Xuan didn't come out to send the mourning family, why did she come back, and she didn't see the girl?" ”
