Chapter 22: Emotional Wounds

When Yi Ye returned to Zizhu Hall from Ronghua Palace, someone sent her news that Song Die, who participated in the Flower Dynasty Festival yesterday, had died. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

She was somewhat familiar with the name, and remembered that she had heard two lines of poetry written by her yesterday, and those two lines of poetry were the most suitable for the title of the concubine among the three.

Unexpectedly, just overnight, the news came that she had drowned.

How could a living person suddenly fall into the Imperial Flower Pond!

Besides, after the end of the Flower Dynasty Festival yesterday, how could she still be in the palace and go to the Imperial Flower Pond, which is not close to the Imperial Garden.

All kinds of questions echoed in her head, and she laughed at herself for being a little too sensitive.

After all, there were so many ladies in the Flower Dynasty Festival yesterday, and it is normal for some accidents to occur.

Although she thought like this, she couldn't help but walk to the edge of the imperial flower pond.

The Imperial Flower Pond is not just a pool of water, it is also connected to the pavilion bridge built next to it, which is generally a place to enjoy lotus flowers in the palace in summer.

Since it is a summer lotus appreciation, this imperial flower pond is generally not allowed to come to enjoy the lotus flowers in this season, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who pass by.

Because the imperial flower pond is only full of all kinds of lotus flowers, although there are rare varieties of lotus flowers such as Saijin, White Fairy, Starry Sky Peony, Queen Mother, Wenjun Fuchen, Dubin, etc., the flowering period of these lotus flowers is similar, and it will not open when it is almost too late in spring to winter.

Therefore, why Song Die came to the Yuhua Pond yesterday is very suspicious.

"Chitose, why are you here?"

When he saw Iba passing by the Imperial Flower Pond, he was a little surprised.

Yi Ye accepted his expression, stood up and said, "Just to see if the lotus flowers in this imperial flower pond have bloomed?" ā€

"Ichitose has also learned to fool people with nonsense?" Sheng Fan laughed disbelievingly.

Unexpectedly, the first time he told a lie, he was exposed, Yi Ye's face was a little uncomfortable, and he was a little far away from Sheng, "The prince doesn't believe it." ā€

"Prince Ben guesses you are here for the daughter of Taishoucheng, Song Die."

It turned out that Sheng Fan already knew his purpose, and Yi Ye had nothing to hide, looking at the lotus flower that had just grown a few leaves in the imperial flower pond, "Don't you think this thing is strange, who will come to the imperial flower pond at this time, and there is no lotus flower to appreciate." ā€

"I also heard my mother talk about this matter this morning, and I also had a lot of doubts in my heart, but I heard my mother say that my father has handed over this matter to the Imperial Forest Army for investigation, and I believe that there will be a result in the near future."

"So fast." Normally, when this kind of thing happens in the palace, it is not always reported to the queen first, and then the queen sends someone to investigate slowly, how can it involve the Imperial Forest Army this time.

"Tai Shoucheng is not an ordinary person, and his father handed over to the Imperial Forest Army to give him an explanation as soon as possible." After all, Song Die was the eldest lady of the Taishou Mansion, and she suddenly died in vain in the imperial flower pond in the palace, and it didn't sound good to spread it.

Iye nodded, and was about to leave when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and the incense seemed to come from the holy body.

But she didn't want to ask much, and when she was about to leave regardless of the matter, she saw that Sheng Fan had already taken out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to her.

"This is from the Yunyin Temple, I heard that it is placed next to the pillow to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters."

Yiye's center of gravity is only in the Yunyin Temple that Sheng Fan said, isn't that the place where the master said that the last trace of the Tianguan people was found? It's a pity that she only looked at the map and knew that the business was founded and walked three thousand miles to the east, and there was a place called Kexi, and Yunyin Temple was a famous temple in Caoxi.

And she was worried that she didn't know the way, so she only sent a few people to investigate, but so far no news has come.

"Isn't Yunyin Creek in Caus, Caustic Creek is three thousand miles away from Shangli, and it only took you two days to come and go?"

"I didn't ask for it personally, but I sent someone to ask for it in advance, and it was just delivered to me yesterday."

"Then does the prince know how to go to Yunyin Temple?"

"You know, I visited that place a few times when I was a child, and I still remember the way. It's just that, as you said, there are more than 6,000 miles to come and go, and it will take more than ten days to ride a fast horse, what, does Yi Chitose want to go to ask for a sachet in person? ā€

"It's for the fence, and I want to ask for one for him." Yiye half-truths and half-truths, it can't be said that he is looking for his background!

For some reason, Sheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say that she was not asking for a sachet for herself.

He looked at the sachet he was holding tightly, not knowing whether to stuff it into Iba's hand.

"I don't know if the prince is free to accompany me."

"It's not a problem to take a trip, it's just that Yi Chitose is busy with everything in the palace, can he go?" Sheng Fan looked at Yi Ye with some concern, ten days is not a short time, Yi Ye is now the chief eunuch, and she can't do it without her in the palace, let alone ten days.

Ten days is indeed not short, Yi Ye knows that Shengyan is telling the truth, but if she doesn't go to Yunyin Temple in person, she always feels that she will miss something?

"However, every year after the fifteenth day of the New Year, my father will send me to Yunyin Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, if Yi Chitose can get his father's consent, it must not be difficult to go to Yunyin Temple with me."

"Burn incense and pray for blessings, if you remember correctly, in previous years, it should be presided over by the concubine." Yi Ye frowned slightly, how could it fall on Sheng Fan this year?

A trace of struggle flashed in Sheng Xuan's eyes, "In previous years, it was indeed the sixth brother, but my father said that this year, the concubine would cooperate with the queen to deal with the affairs in the palace, and let me take over the matter of burning incense and praying for blessings." ā€

"Iye thanked the prince." Yi Ye hugged her fists and saluted, she was really a little grateful to Sheng Fan for planning for her so much, but in the power struggle between the queen and the concubine, the concubine can always win a few points, so it is normal to have the current situation.

Now it seems that the death of Song Die, the eldest lady of the Taishou Mansion, should be related to the concubine.

Sheng Yan's hand holding the sachet tightened, his forehead was hot, and he hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to stuff the sachet into Yiye's hand, "However, you have to accept this." After speaking, he didn't dare to stop a single step, and left in a hurry.

Yi Ye smelled the strange fragrance, and his face was a little stunned.

Put it next to the pillow to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil. Iya recalled what Sheng Fan said, she wasn't afraid of this, but,

Forget it, tucking the sachet into her sleeve, she turned around and left in the direction of the Purple Bamboo Palace.

In the middle of the moon, in the master bedroom of the Zizhu Palace, a room is lit.

Iha took a volume of naturalist biography and rummaged through the introduction to the Quexi.

But I flipped through the book, but I didn't find the word Kexi.

But she clearly remembered that she had read this book not long ago, and when she saw the word Kexi, she only glanced at it in a hurry and flipped it over, why did she want to find it now, but she couldn't find it more and more?

"Chitose," Lizi stood quietly behind Iba with the hot soup, and his face changed a little when he saw the naturalist in Iba's hand.

"Fence, is there only one naturalist in the academy?" Could there be two naturalist books, and the last time she saw Harsh Creek was on the other one?
