In order to cater to Nalan Xue's preferences, the imperial concubine of Chaoyi deliberately set up the banquet in Qinghe Garden.

This is the first big banquet since the imperial concubine of Chaoyi assisted the harem, and it was to choose a horse for the princess, so it was extremely attentive, and the layout of the Qinghe Garden was also extremely luxurious.

Before leaving the Qinghe Garden, the imperial concubine looked at the Qinghe Garden again, and then the people fell into the lock.

It was already night, but the imperial concubine couldn't sleep, tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, then sat up again, and called softly: "Nuan Qing." ”

"Hey." Someone outside responded in a low voice, the bead curtain moved lightly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl dressed in a coat, holding a candle, walked in, and saw the delicate body of the imperial concubine leaning on the pillar next to the bed, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, her face was slightly uneasy, and her heart moved first, and she secretly said What is wrong?

Since coming to the palace, their master and servant have also walked on thin ice, carefully before they came to today's position, how many hardships have been along the way, only they know best, but they have never seen the imperial concubine have such a look, as troublesome as today.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Put on the candle and ask Nuan Qing with concern.

"I just had a nightmare." The imperial concubine slowly sat up straight with Nuan Qing's hand, and straightened her back slightly.

Nuan Qing smiled: "It's just a nightmare, Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it, I think it's caused by Niangniang's overwork in the past few days, and Niangniang will be fine if she rests more." ”

The imperial concubine shook her head: "No, in this way, if you go to Qinghe Garden, Ming'er will be Xihe's birthday, and nothing can happen." ”

Nuan Qing listened to it, smiled softly, for the birthday of Princess Xi and the princess, the imperial concubine has worked hard, and she can't eat or sleep well these days, Ming'er is the right day, and she doesn't blame the imperial concubine for worrying.

"Yes, the slave will go and take a look, and the mother will rest first." Nuan Qing helped the imperial concubine to lie down, and opened the window to ventilate, the night breeze blew in, and the heat in the room also disappeared a little, seeing that the imperial concubine closed her eyes, she retreated with a candle.

Outside the Qinghe Garden, a few branches stretch out from the wall, the hazy moonlight is sprinkled, the trees are mottled into shadows, the night breeze moves lightly, the breeze blows, the branches shake slightly, showing a bit of horror.

Nuan Qing tightened the clothes on her body, gently opened the lock of the Qinghe Garden, and slowly walked in, the palace lamp reflected the world in front of her, and the candle flame was not very bright, adding a little hazy feeling to the garden.

She walked slowly along the path, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly stepped down, saw the flowers and plants beside the path, and couldn't help but gasp, and quickly stepped forward to take a closer look, and covered her red lips, secretly screaming badly, and then took a few steps forward, and suddenly her face changed greatly.

The flowers and plants that were originally luxuriant were all relieved at this time, lying on the ground softly, turning into a pile of dead branches and leaves, which ...... How is this possible, when the Qinghe Garden is arranged during the day, it is still good, how did it become like this overnight?

And more importantly, Ming'er is the birthday of Princess Xihe, and something went wrong at this time, not only Princess Xihe's face couldn't hang it, but the imperial concubine was also implicated.

trotted all the way back to Chaohua Palace, Nuan Qing hurriedly entered the inner room, explained the matter simply, and lay on the ground: "It's all the slave's fault, if the slave and maid are watched, there will be no accident." ”

The imperial concubine sat on the edge of the bed, her slender and weak fingers tightly grasped the curtain beside the bed, and shook her head when she heard her words: "No wonder you, someone wants to harm me, I can't prevent it." ”

"Yes...... Ming'er is the princess's birthday party, and all the trees in this Qinghe Garden are dead, but what should I do? ”

The imperial concubine bit her lip and thought for a moment, and asked softly, "Where is the emperor resting today?" ”

Nuan Qing was slightly stunned, the garden became like that, but at this time, she asked the emperor what he was doing? Could it be that you want to ask the emperor for help? Yes, the emperor has always favored the imperial concubine more, and it is naturally an excellent way to ask the emperor for help at this time.

Nuan Qing hurriedly said: "The emperor seems to be resting at Lingmeiren today, does Niangniang want to see the emperor?" ”

The imperial concubine shook her head: "Change my clothes, let's go see the queen." ”

Nuan Qing hesitated slightly: "You are going to see the queen?" This...... Is this appropriate? ”

Although the queen and the imperial concubine tried their best to maintain peace on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging in private, and no one in this palace knew that the queen and the imperial concubine were at odds with the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine helped Xi and the princess prepare the banquet.

"You girl, you are clever on weekdays, but you become stupid when something happens, Xihe is the queen's daughter, even if she wants to harm me, she will not pull her daughter into the water."

Nuan Qing was like an empowerment, her eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile: "Yes, the slave maid has forgotten that this Xihe princess is the heart of the queen's mother, not an ordinary princess." ”

Nuan Qing hurriedly changed the imperial concubine's clothes, combed her hair, and said softly: "I don't know who wants to harm Niangniang behind her back, I actually use this method, it is even more hateful to think about it, and fortunately Niangniang is alert, otherwise Ming'er will be seen in that garden, and we will really have nothing to do." ”

The imperial concubine was playing with a gilded hairpin, her face was as calm as water, the delicacy on her face faded, and she was a little more stoic and resolute: "Over the years, have you and I experienced less?" This thing didn't get on the table, but I didn't expect anyone to do anything at Xihe's birthday party. ”

"Mother, this matter must be investigated."

The corners of the imperial concubine's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Naturally, I want to investigate, but the plan for today is to find another garden to hold the birthday banquet in the past, as for the matter of Qinghe Garden, someone is responsible for it, okay, hurry over, don't dress up so gorgeous." ”

Nuan Qing took the cloak and put it on her, and the two of them turned on the palace lamp and quietly walked towards the queen's palace.

*************

The moonlight is excellent today, it is already late at night, but Liu Yan can't sleep, she sits by the window and looks at the scenery outside, the shadows of the trees are reflected in the window, and her face is a little mottled.

There were a few insects outside the window, and Liu Yan looked at the trees outside the window through the window, and the secret guards were gone.

The secret guard is gone, but the guard at the door is still there, changing the guard three times a day, and never leaving at all times.

This is a little strange, if it is a person sent by Grandma, then the secret guard should advance and retreat with the guards outside, and even stay longer than the guards, but the fact is the opposite, could it be that this secret guard is not a person from Grandma?

Thinking like this, Liu Yan felt shocked in her heart, if she is not a grandmother, who can it be?
