In the most remote south garden of Changle Palace, Shen Shuzhao was sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the shade, and it took her a lot of effort to walk here from the Yongshou Palace, but it was still noon when she went around inside, so she had to sit here to kill time.

The whole South Garden seems to have only purple flowers, and the purple hydrangeas are clustered around, forming a sea of flowers with pure and elegant colors, which is really a little monotonous compared to other places to enjoy the flowers.

Shen Shuzhao suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had also seen a place in this palace where all blue flowers were planted, could it be that the Queen Mother, as the lord of the first palace, had the habit of squandering a piece of land and planting all the flowers of the same color and type?

She fanned the ink fan in her hand, but she still couldn't relieve a trace of the heat, so she had to look up at the sky helplessly, knowing that she would return to Qinglian Pavilion.

Huizhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned closer to Shen Shuzhao and said, "Second Miss, it's just in time for lunch when you go back now, so it's better to leave now." ”

Shen Shuzhao nodded, silently thinking in his heart about choosing a closer one for the next flower viewing.

As soon as she got up, she heard a piercing sound of porcelain breaking from a short distance behind her, and more than one, like the sound of a row of porcelain collapsing suddenly.

Huizhuang and Shen Shuzhao were stunned at the same time, and Lu Rong asked Shen Shuzhao, "Second Miss, what should I do......

Shen Shuzhao looked at the place where the voice came from, which was covered by a row of peach blossom groves, and speculated, "Maybe it's because the wooden frame with porcelain and purple sand flower pots on the opposite side has fallen into disrepair." ”

Lu Rong said with some concern: "This is the imperial garden of Changle Palace, but all the flowers or flower pots are selected by the Queen Mother herself, what can I do?" Is it now to leave or ......"

"Let's go?" Shen Shuzhao turned her head and squinted at Lu Rong with a look of fear of causing trouble, why didn't she find out that this person was even more stupid than she thought, "Do you think that the Queen Mother will not find out who has been here in her palace?" ”

Huizhuang, who was standing on the side, looked at Shen Shuzhao in surprise, this was the first time she saw the second lady show this attitude, different from the gentleness and kindness in the past, it was rare to be stern and cold, and before she came back to her senses, Shen Shuzhao ordered her: "Huizhuang, you go to find someone from the Shanglin Bureau." ”

"Yes."

After Huizhuang finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and left, and when she left, she still thought to herself, why is she so unlucky today, obviously the things of Changle Palace have always been taken care of by each palace person, and when there is rarely damage, why is it broken at this time?

What Shen Shuzhao thinks about is the same as what Shen Shuzhao thinks now, but if someone does it deliberately, then she will start to pay attention to her from the time she entered the palace yesterday, but she is not the most showy one, no matter how powerful Xiao Mengru is, she will not reach this point, so Shen Shuzhao estimates that it is something else.

Shen Shuzhao led Lu Rong and Ruoyun into the peach blossom forest, in fact, for her, she was still happy to see the flower seeds and flower pots selected by the Queen Mother smashed to the ground.

After walking a few steps, Shen Shuzhao was stunned, because she saw hydrangeas and broken porcelain all over the ground, some of which had been trampled to sparse pieces, some had been mixed with the soil, and some of the stamens and hearts were scattered and completely unshaped, and it was a mess here.

Looking up again, Shen Shuzhao was stunned again, because in front of her, there was a woman holding a white sword, the woman was wearing a long-sleeved curved robe, a dark flower belt tied between her thin waist, and the scabbard of the long sword was hanging on its side.

Shen Shuzhao suddenly became nervous, because the blade of the man's hand sword was constantly dripping with red blood.

The Queen Mother's palace is a heavily guarded forbidden place, and it is impossible for assassins or the like to appear, who would dare to provoke such a thing!

Shen Shuzhao hurriedly lowered her head, she knew that she had seen and heard too much so far.

If it had been placed in her previous life, she would have frowned and ordered someone to ask loudly, but now she has no qualifications in this palace.

The man in front of him slowly turned his head, and when he saw them, the sword was pointed at the ground at a higher angle.

"Who is it?"

A clear and cold voice came, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

Seeing the hidden luxury of the fabric decoration on the man's feet and lower body, Shen Shuzhao was sure in her heart that this was not the person she could offend.

She thought about it, no matter whether the person opposite is the Queen Mother or someone else, it is useless to lie that she is a palace maid now, it is better to directly reveal the identity of the Queen Mother's niece, which can play a more protective role, so after Rourou bowed sideways, she said without humility or arrogance: "The folk girl is the daughter of Shen Taishi, because she is enjoying the flowers near here, and she came to see it after hearing the sound, and I hope to forgive me if I disturb the elegance." ”

The person opposite raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh? You are the daughter of Master Shen. ”

The voice was like a sweet spring, which made people uncertain, and the tone was not so cold compared to before, it sounded like the other party no longer seemed to be hostile to his identity, Shen Shuzhao raised his head and looked at the woman opposite.

When they looked at each other, she was really stunned this time, not knowing what to do.

Memories came flooding in all of a sudden, ten miles of red makeup, white horses pulled by the gift car, those bright and kind eyes, she still remembered it deeply.

It turned out that this was the eldest princess of Kunyi.

Shen Shuzhao thought to herself, this temperament and figure are indeed worthy of the title of the first beauty in Chang'an.

The eldest princess Wei Yang took out a piece of silk in front of them, gently wiped the blood stains on the sword, wiped it clean, and said casually: "Why is this such a remote place, doesn't the Queen Mother leave you today?" ”

Shen Shuzhao replied truthfully: "Back to the eldest princess, the queen mother is exempted from today's greeting because of something." ”

In the meantime, she has been staring at the cold sword in Wei Yang's hand, for the situation in front of her at this moment, if she is not stupid, she should have guessed that it is not the blood of the eldest princess, as for what happened here, it is not for her to know.

Wei Yang turned the long sword in her hand a few times, quickly retracted it into the scabbard, and did not react to Shen Shuzhao knowing her identity, her gaze returned to Shen Shuzhao, and she sighed softly in her tone: "This is not where you should come." ”

I know.

Shen Shuzhao silently thought in her heart that if someone told her in advance that the eldest princess would "kill" here, she would definitely not come.

"The little girl hurried over after hearing the voice, she didn't expect the eldest princess to ......be here," Shen Shuzhao said softly, her tone was as kind and harmless as before in the Shen Mansion, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes, "That sound just now was really terrible, there are so many broken porcelains here, is the eldest princess injured?" Shuzhao is willing to send a doctor for the princess. ”

"No need." When it came to the doctor, Wei Yang's eyes turned cold again, "There's nothing going on here, let's step down." ”

Shen Shuzhao made a big salute, and immediately left this place of right and wrong with the palace maid's head without looking back.

Suddenly, a long wind sent the petals in the peach blossom forest into the sky, and some of the petals still fell on Shen Shuzhao's temples, and she had no time to care about such a beautiful scenery now, because she had always felt that someone was watching her for a long time, which made her feel a chill.

There are too many secrets in the palace, and the more irrelevant they are, the less they need to know.

Shen Shuzhao walked out of Nanyuan as if fleeing, and met Huizhuang with a few little eunuchs from the Shanglin Bureau coming head-on, Huizhuang saw Shen Shuzhao with a smile behind him, stepped forward to support her and said: "Second Miss is just right, now it's just the right time to go back to the Queen Mother." ”

Shen Shuzhao hummed softly and didn't say anything, Huizhuang looked at her and Ruoyun with a little bad looks, and chose not to ask more questions like Shen Shuzhao, and walked behind her silently.

The road was very slow, and Shen Shuzhao didn't know what she was waiting for, but she felt that there was something in her body that made her wait.

Lu had just walked out of Nanyuan, and suddenly a miserable scream came out from Nanyuan's body, and the expected thing made Shen Shuzhao stop her pace, she turned around, only to see the palace people who were slowly walking towards Nanyuan, and suddenly accelerated their pace and rushed inside.

The expressions of Lu Rong and the others were a little shocked, but Shen Shuzhao's eyes were full of calm.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she smiled unconsciously, this palace is indeed a place with a lot of right and wrong.

It's just that she didn't expect that this time she would bump into the eldest princess of the Queen Mother in this place, holding a long sword with a cold and cold arrogance, and after being knocked out, she could still deal with them calmly, meticulously wiped off the little blood stains on the sword, and asked them to get out without saying a few words - although she didn't say so on the surface, Shen Shuzhao understood it.

In short, this qiē really does not match the image of a beautiful princess who is respected by thousands of people in the palace in the depths of her imagination.

She took one last look at Nanyuan, there might be a lot of stories here, but now was not the time for her to understand.

Therefore, Shen Shuzhao did not stay for a long time, but went directly to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace.

At noon, she finally came to the Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother had already dismissed the other concubines, and Shen Shuzhao walked into the main hall unimpeded.

The figure of a person in the room appeared in the center of the peony screen, Shen Shuzhao walked to the screen, knelt down and kowtowed: "Shuzhao greets the Queen Mother." ”

However, there was no response from the other side.

She waited, but still didn't hear back.

Shen Shuzhao was a little puzzled, she thought that she didn't say anything wrong yesterday, could it be because of today's events......

After thinking about it, just as she raised her head nervously, a clear voice came from the very close in front of her:

"Huh? Isn't this cousin. ”
