Chapter 193: The Canary in the Golden Wire Cage~
The morning air is always exceptionally fresh, but in the palace the air is stained with a faint smell of nervousness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Qi had been in this palace with golden tiles and red walls for three days, except for the accident of getting a bunch of rouge paste with Xuanyuan Mo's momentum in the first day, in general, she had not made any progress in finding Lingxi.
The peacock blue box that saves gold branches, she also asked the slaves and maids in the palace, it is said that only the emperor's favorite Concubine Ning has it, and the rouge in the box is also very unusual, the rouge in the box is called red frost, just a gentle wipe, can make the woman's face like the hibiscus reflecting the moon is shy and cute.
Therefore, she decided to start with this Concubine Ning now.
She also asked the maids and slaves in the palace, and heard them say that this Concubine Ning was Xuanyuan Mo's biological mother, but the child was handed over by the emperor as soon as she was born. Milk. The mother fed, and the emperor announced to the public that Concubine Ning was happy, so there were no special circumstances, and Concubine Ning rarely showed up, and even the opportunity for Xuanyuan Mo to see her mother was very rare.
So it's not easy to sneak into Concubine Ning's palace, but if she doesn't enter, is it possible for Concubine Ning to come out?
She asked the maids who served her, but unfortunately they also shook their heads, and said that in order to reduce the chance of Concubine Ning appearing, the emperor granted almost all her requests, and even her palace was more spacious and luxurious than that of other concubines.
This...... It's really hard.
Since this Concubine Ning may be the Lingxi she is looking for, how can she get in touch with her?
Rely on Xuanyuan Mo? The stakes were too high, and if she was on her father's side, she might have lost her work before he could get close.
Rely on the Nine Kings? If he is involved, I am afraid that he will be discovered by the emperor before he makes a move.
Then, there is only one way left to go, and the only thing left is to sneak into Concubine Ning's Palace.
After all, her face is still relatively new in the palace, and no one should know her identity when you think about it.
Thinking of this, Gu Qi began to plan silently, she quietly inquired, this Concubine Ning Palace every day when the sun was about to set, someone specially sent the daily needs of the palace over, she could take this opportunity to blend in.
gave a large sum of money to arrange the affairs of each palace, Gu Qi successfully knew the name of the maid who sent things to Concubine Ning's Palace, and even found the place where the maid lived one day when she was not paying attention, and poured a large handful of laxatives into the teapot in her room.
The laxative was found in the small box that Jiuwang sent her in, Gu Qi looked at it, and felt that this laxative was the best, colorless and odorless and not hurting people's lives, but she was just wronged that the girl was going to detoxify in the next few days.
Sure enough, the next day, she heard the news of the maid's leave, and she took the opportunity to pretend to be a palace maid, and made a few dots up and down, so she replaced the maid and went to Concubine Ning's Palace to deliver things.
Those things were all loaded, Gu Qi just went to Concubine Ning Palace with those things and knocked on the door, and after a while, someone opened the door.
"Who are you?" The person who opened the door couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw her face.
Gu Qi had a smile on her face: "That slave is new, Sister Xin'er is sick, I was sent by my aunt in charge to give you something, you see this is my waist card." As he spoke, he took out the waist card that he had come from out of nowhere and shook it in front of the man, who got out of the way and prepared to let him in.
"You put your things in the small kitchen first, but I warn you not to stay in this palace, in case the mother sees you and blames you at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Yes, yes, the little one understands." Gu Qi nodded and smiled, and when the man saw her well-behaved appearance, he didn't embarrass her.
In the next time, Gu Qi followed the man's instructions, and quickly found the location of the small kitchen of Concubine Ning's Palace, and after putting down the things in her arms, she looked left and right and found that there seemed to be no one in Concubine Ning's Palace, so she quietly followed a path on the edge of the kitchen to the square of the palace.
But before she reached the direction of the main palace of Concubine Ning's Palace, she heard a leisurely and desolate singing, which seemed to be filled with resentment and helplessness, which made those who heard it sad.
Unconsciously, Gu Qi walked in the direction of the singing, and in the dark she always felt that the person who sang was the person she was looking for.
Eventually, she found the source of her singing in front of a lavish palace with carved beams and paintings.
But does this really count as a palace? But what else did the doors and windows of the palace have been sealed with gilded metal bars? It looks like a giant golden wire cage, and it's not a place for people to live at all. And the singer was leaning lonely on the windowsill at this time, singing in a low voice to a plum tree outside the window.
"Are you Concubine Ning?"
Gu Qi stepped forward cautiously, looking at the empty black eyes of the stunning person in front of her, and somehow her heart hurt.
"Who are you?" The melodious singing stopped, and there was a hint of timidity in his dark eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I just ask you if your maiden name is called Lingxi?"
"Spirit? Hahaha, how long has it been since no one called me by that name, hahaha, I'm just a bird in this palace, a bird that is locked up in a golden wire cage. The woman laughed maniacally, laughing until tears came to her dark eyes.
At this point, there is no doubt that the woman in front of her should be Lingxi, but she should not be the most Emperor of the Eastern Emperor. Pet. The concubine of love, how can it be like this.
Gu Qi sighed, looked at the plum blossom tree and read:
It is as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon between the clouds.
Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to break up.
Today's wine fight, Mingdan ditch head.
On the ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west.
Sad and miserable, there is no need to cry when you get married.
I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated.
……
"You? How did you know this poem? You were sent by Xuanyuan Tengyu? Lingxi held the golden window strip in her hand, and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, this poem was a love poem between her and the Nine Kings, and after that, they became husband and wife, but no one expected that what awaited them was an eternal parting.
The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, long-term resentment, and can't ask for it.
And her and Tengyu's account for the back half.
Love parting, resentment for a long time, can't beg, can't let go, just these four make them feel painful.
Lingxi looked at the woman outside the window with misty eyes, as if she had something to say to her, but just as she was about to say it, she trembled. The trembling lips made her swallow her words, and she only sighed slightly: "All these years, is she okay?" ”
