Yu Ruoxu remembered that day in the Taimiao, the eyes of herself and the little eunuch met, and the eyes were so deep that they made people's hearts palpitate, as if they were choked by the throat. At this time, the bright yellow cloak in his hand was clearly a royal thing.

Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, eunuchs were not allowed to serve in close quarters, this was an iron rule set by the emperor, and no one dared to break it for so many years. And this little eunuch can touch the clothes of the little emperor, and it is clear that he is already ......

She couldn't contain her curiosity, held her breath, and quietly followed the little eunuch towards the northeast of the palace. Out of the imperial garden, all the way around the way, finally arrived at the gate of a dilapidated palace, the eunuch looked left and right, and then opened the door and walked in.

Yu Ruoxu poked her head out from behind the palace wall and took a closer look at the depressed palace in front of her. The plaque with the three big characters "Qin Zhuxuan" is full of dust, and there are a lot of spider webs hanging next to it, looking like no one has taken care of it for a long time. The vermilion gate had lost a lot of paint, and the steps of the doorway were covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

Look at this...... It's like a cold palace.

What was that eunuch doing in the cold palace with the emperor's clothes? Yu Ruoxu secretly thought, could it be that the little emperor is in the cold palace?

Thinking of this, she looked around, and no one else seemed to pass by, so the cat leaned over, opened the door lightly, and slipped in.

The whole cold palace is not big, there is only one room. A huge, luxuriant plane tree almost obscured half of the yard's sunlight, and its emerald green leaves fell to the ground in cascading tones. Yu Ruoxu tiptoed towards the room, careful not to make a sound.

The east-facing window didn't seem to be closed, half-hidden with a narrow gap. Yu Ruoxu hid under the window, and when she heard the sound of rustling in the room, she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart—it turned out that she had begun to do this kind of eavesdropping on the corner of the wall.

"Obviously, it's a little cold here, I brought your cloak, be careful of catching a cold." The voice of the little eunuch Qingyue came. Yu Ruoxu was stunned, obviously? Xue Mingran? She was suddenly shocked in her heart, this little eunuch can call the little emperor by his name, I'm afraid their relationship is unusual.

Suddenly, there was a sound of turning over, like the little emperor suddenly sitting up from the bed, and said urgently, "Why did you get out?" Has anyone seen you? “

"I'm measured, and as usual, I came back from the Imperial Garden around the path, and I didn't see anyone else along the way."

"If you are really measured, you should listen to me obediently and don't go out without my consent! If you find out, you're dead! Have you ever thought about my feelings?! The little emperor said angrily, and even raised his voice a little.

"Obviously don't be angry, it's all my fault, I won't next time." The little eunuch said softly, "I'm also afraid that you will get cold in this cold palace, if you are asked by the Queen Mother......

The little emperor snorted coldly, "It's hard to come to you to be quiet and quiet, so don't mention that woman in front of me again." “

Yu Ruoxu gritted her teeth, feeling as if she was in an oven, her ears were full of untouchable palace taboos, but she couldn't go, she couldn't stay, she could only curl up stiffly in the corner and listen to it.

After the little emperor finished saying that, the room fell silent, and there was no other movement for a long time. Yu Ruoxu looked up, and was about to get up to leave, when a faint sigh came, "Ah Qing, I had a nightmare just now, and I was in a bad mood, so I spoke a little rushed." Don't be angry. ”

Ah Qing? Yu Ruoxu remembered that his father had called him "Han Gonggong", so was he called Han Qing?

"I'm not mad at you." Han Qing said in a low voice, "I just think that you have been losing your temper recently, is the Liang family pressing too hard?" ”

"They're so deceitful!" Yu Ruoxu seemed to hear the little emperor's hateful grinding teeth, "I chose the court officials according to their wishes, accepted the harem concubines according to their orders, and indulged the various nonsense of the Liang family, and now that Liang Hongyi actually dares to embarrass me in front of hundreds of officials, it is really rampant!" “

Han Qing's voice was a little gloomy, "Obviously, our strength is still weaker now, and we can't move the Liang family for the time being." “

"I know." The little emperor's snort was a little heavy, as if he was angry, "One day, I will definitely let the Liang family be crushed to pieces, and there will be no place to bury them!" Including the woman in Shouning Palace! “

When Yu Ruoxu heard the words "there is no place to be buried", her body trembled-

The little emperor's hatred for the Liang family is so deep!

"But the Queen Mother ......" Han Qing was a little hesitant, "After all, she has raised you for so many years, I'm afraid you still can't bear to ...... then."

The little emperor sneered a few times, and said slowly, "In the past, I must still be unbearable." But now...... I felt chills at the thought of her poisoning my mother. It's just that everyone takes what they need, and she has been pretending to be for more than ten years, which can be regarded as embarrassing for her. “

Han Qing hurriedly intercepted his words, "Okay, okay, what are you going to do when you talk about these old things." “

The little emperor paused, and his voice became a little warmer, "I know you want to comfort me." I'm fine, I've been here for so many years......"

"yes, we've all endured it for so many years." Han Qing let out a long sigh.

"I sometimes think that if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have the courage to live." The little emperor said faintly, his throat seemed to be a little choked, "Ah Qing, you have to stay with me in the future, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, okay?" “

"Where can I go without you?" Han Qing chuckled softly.

Yu Ruoxu was already covered with cold sweat, and there was a sound of tangled clothes in her ears, vaguely. The little emperor seemed to have said something, "I will help you if you want", but she couldn't listen to it at all, barely supported her numb legs, and ran out of the cold palace as if fleeing for her life.

She only felt that she knew too many things that she shouldn't know, including the relationship between the queen mother and the little emperor, including the secrets hidden in this cold palace. When all the palace affairs came in an instant, she was almost broken.

Really...... People who know too many secrets will not live long, because almost every one of them is fatal.

The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor is actually not a secret, the relationship between the first emperor and the Queen Mother was not harmonious, which is almost a matter known to everyone in the government and the opposition. It is even rumored that if it were not for the use of the power of the Liang family to exterminate Zhao Gelding and his party, the first emperor would have proposed to abolish the queen sooner or later.

And the name of the abolished queen is - the queen has no children.

The queen has no children for so many years, and when the first emperor was sick and bedridden, the news of pregnancy came out of the palace inexplicably, and then she became a man in one fell swoop, and was canonized as the prince just after birth, but soon after, the first emperor died of illness.

The newly enthroned emperor was still in his infancy, and the young empress dowager naturally began to listen to the government. Since then, the Liang family has begun to fully control the government, and now many people only know that the Liang family is in charge, and they do not know that the Xue family is the orthodox emperor.

So it seems...... Yu Ruoxu sighed in her heart, similar to the folk rumors at that time, the emperor was probably born to another concubine of the first emperor, but the Empress Liang at that time took advantage of the previous emperor's lingering illness to quietly kill this concubine and take the child for herself.

As for Han Qing...... A chill ran through her heart.

Speaking of which, she couldn't even remember Han Qing's appearance, because he always kept his head down in front of her, looking cautious and cautious. Even the glance they looked at, she only remembered the deep look in his eyes, and everything else was reduced to a vague memory. However, it may be that the conditions have been bad since childhood, he is thin and short than ordinary men, so he always gives her the illusion of being weak and can't help it.

And the little emperor with thin eyes ...... She couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, it turned out that his affection was placed here.

This feeling, which is intolerable to the world, is the last consolation for these two desperate people in the deep palace.

She felt a little astringent in her heart, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh - but they were all pitiful.

Until she returned to Yufu, she was still a little bored, so she casually coped with a few bites of dinner, and then went to the study and silently began to transcribe the excerpts.

Yu Zhongjun was dragged by the people of the household department to participate in the banquet at night, and he couldn't come back if he didn't make trouble. Yu Ruoxu asked Xiu'er to tell the kitchen to prepare the decanting soup, Xiu'er nodded and said, "I know that the master has a party today, and the kitchen has been prepared early!" “

"Yes." Yu Ruoxu smiled, "It seems that I don't need to bother anymore. “

"Miss, don't worry." Xiu'er remembered something and asked, "Miss went to the palace today, did you see the tablet you liked in Jieyu Niangniang?" ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the purpose of entering the palace, and couldn't help laughing, "No, I went just in time for Jieyu Niangniang to be there." I'll go back in a few days. “

"Miss's face is not very good every time she enters the palace." Xiu'er said sullenly, "If you like it, just go to Zhou's Mansion again, and ask Mrs. Zhou directly for one." The slave maid felt that Mrs. Zhou was more amiable than the ladies in the palace. “

Yu Ruoxu thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then you ask the housekeeper to help me make another post for the Zhou family, just say that I hit it off with Mrs. Zhou that day and want to visit again tomorrow." “

As soon as she encountered Yu Ruoqing's matter, she was almost in a mess, and when she heard the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion casually mention that "Liang Jieyu may have a tablet there", she rushed directly to the palace with a hot brain. If you can calm down at that time, you can go directly to the Zhou Mansion and ask carefully, and you don't have to go around in such a big circle and return to the original point.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, the so-called concern is messy, talking about her current self.

The next day, she prepared a gift and left for the Zhou Mansion early. When the carriage arrived at Zhou's mansion, she found that there was a carriage parked at Zhou's gate. A gust of wind blew, and the jade bells hanging on the eaves made a crisp sound of "jingling".

Mrs. Zhou was still at the door to greet her, and when she saw her looking at the carriage next to her in a daze, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, "It's really a coincidence today, not only Sister Yu came to our house as a guest, but also the prince of Dingyuan Hou came in a hurry." Tell me, did you two make an appointment? “

Yu Ruoxu's face flushed, "Sister Lu is really good at laughing, it's really a coincidence." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled but did not speak, like last time, she affectionately pulled her into the courtyard, and said loudly into the house, "Xianggong, Shiziye, Miss Yu is here." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, Zhou Yuanzhao was also there?

In the hall, Zhou Yuanzhao was holding a fine vermilion lacquer iron bow, and said to Liang Jin with great interest, "Look, this is the treasure I worked so hard to find from Xiqiang, look at this bowstring, this vermilion lacquer, it doesn't hurt at all......

When Liang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and said with a smile, "It's really a good bow." “

"Of course, the things I picked are still bad." Zhou Yuanzhao looked proud, and then wrinkled again, "This time it cost me a lot of money, I don't dare to tell Jingxian, for fear that she will talk to me again." “

"Sister Lu is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, I'm afraid that you will spend money indiscriminately." Liang Jin didn't have a good breath and said, "If you become a parent, you should be a bit of a husband and wife, aren't you afraid that Lord Lu will block you at the door of the house again and scold you in front of everyone?" “

"Okay, don't mention that incident, I'm scared when I think about it." Zhou Yuanzhao begged for mercy. At this time, Mrs. Zhou's voice came, Liang Jin was stunned, and asked, "Miss Yu also came to visit Zhou's Mansion today?" ”

"That's right, the post I came from last night said that I was here to talk to Jingxian." Zhou Yuanzhao nodded.

Liang Jin looked at the vermilion lacquer iron bow in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Quickly put this bow away, don't let Miss Yu see it." ”

"Why?" Zhou Yuanzhao didn't react for a while, "I heard that Miss Yu used to be a good archer......

"Her right hand ......," Liang Jin paused, "I'm afraid she'll be upset." “
