On March 15, Liu Zhao sat in the Hansong Hall and summoned all the palace concubines, his expression was solemn, his face was sickly ruddy, and his sad emotions infected everyone in the hall, and the empty hall was silent.

Cai Lun saw that all the concubines were standing, coughed lightly, and whispered to Liu Zhao: "Your Majesty, all the new masters are delicate, and they can't stand standing for so long, so the emperor still let them sit down and ask!" ”

Liu Zhao nodded: "Okay, sit down." ”

Yin Li was the closest to Liu Zhao, and Song Jun sat beside her, she had already glanced at her a few times with her eyes just now, but she saw that she always had a shallow smile on her face, and she didn't seem to care at all.

"Give tea!" Liu Zhao commanded, and after a while, a light of tea was placed in front of everyone. Yin Li picked up the white jade cup entwined with green branches, and took a sip of tea elegantly, leaving a fragrance on her lips and teeth. It is worthy of the tea in the palace, the tea is as green as jade, and in the white jade tea cup, the more green it sets off.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Zhao sneered: "Li Meiren's death, don't you have a little explanation?" ”

There was still no one to speak, and everyone seemed to be tacitly adapting to the changes.

"Okay then, who has been to Li Meiren's Yufei Palace, stand up and take a look." Liu Zhao stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing from everyone's faces one by one. Everyone stood up, except for Yin Li.

Cai Lun didn't look good, he said in his heart, he didn't blame the public, if the emperor was angry, how could there be Ning Ri in this harem. Seeing that Liu Zhao's face was getting more and more ugly, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Yin Xiaohe for help.

Yin Xiaohe was also beating a drum in her heart at this time, if it was found out that it was Song Jun's ghost, she would also be unable to protect herself. Seeing Cai Lun looking at him, he smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, Xiao'e's matter is indeed making everyone sad." The emperor's feelings in his heart are the same as ours. However, the concubine thought that Li Meiren's matter needed to be considered in the long run. After all, it happened suddenly, although the sisters all went to the Feidian Palace, but it was difficult to guarantee that it was not the medicine of the imperial doctor that had a problem, if it was because the maidservants did not serve well, so the emperor should not worry. Since you want to check it, you can figure it out slowly. ”

This is not a drop of water. The responsibility was dispersed from the concubines to the imperial doctors and palace people, and the tense atmosphere was also eased.

Cai Lun also took the opportunity to interject: "Your Majesty, what the noble lady said is reasonable. The minister thought that this matter was also full of suspicions. You can let Han Ling and others intervene in the investigation! ”

Liu Zhao shook his head and said: "Foreign officials can't interfere in this matter, after all, the palace is full of female dependents, and it is inconvenient." ”

Yin Li glanced at Song Jun and said, "Your Majesty, all the sisters have gone to the Flying Palace. This person has a lot of hands, and it is troublesome to find out. It would be more convenient if there was a dedicated person to investigate the matter. ”

"Oh? Li'er, do you mean to let the palace send someone to investigate them one by one? Liu Zhao glanced at Yin Li. Seeing her smiling and beautiful, most of her anger disappeared. said: "Who do you think is more suitable?" ”

"Song Guiren is smart, and he is older than the sisters. Handle things safely, I think let Song Guiren check it! Yin Li secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that the emperor would approve her request, and if Song Jun came to check, the answer would never be found on her head.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Liu Zhao thought for a while and said. "Jun'er also went to the Flying Palace, if you want to talk about suspicion, her suspicion is heavier, what does Cai Changshou think, who is more suitable?" He turned his head to Cai Lun again.

"Well, this, the ministers have to serve by the emperor's side every day, if you want to say that you are shrewd and capable, and loyal, I think Da Changqiu Zheng Zhong is more suitable." After Dou Xian's incident, Zheng Zhong was named Da Changqiu by Liu Zhao and was in charge of the inner court.

"It's good, he's very capable, and it's good to think about it. In that case, the decree was passed on, and Zheng Zhong set up the Inner Court Division to investigate the matter of Yu Feidian! He waved his hand, "You are all my beloved concubines, and I don't want you to be disturbed, but Li Meiren died too pitifully, and I have to investigate, if I find your head, cooperate, there are no ghosts in my heart, and I am not afraid to investigate!" ”

"Whoa!" The concubines stood up and saluted, and retreated one by one.

Yin Li called Song Jun and said, "Song Guiren, let's go together!" ”

Song Jun smiled and said: "No need, it's better for the Yin nobles to avoid suspicion at this time, there are many people in this palace, it is difficult to ensure that if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates!" Yin nobles should be careful! By the way, I still like the gift I gave to Lian'er, Xiaohuixin in my palace heard that Niangniang has a hollow golden hairpin, which is made by a famous artist, and I like it very much. ”

There is a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her face is like peach blossoms with dew, as beautiful as the stars. Yin Li smiled, already understanding what she meant, and said, "Oh, I haven't brought it to me yet, I'll ask Lian'er to send it to Xiao Huixin in a while." ”

Song Jun said "um", sat in the warm sedan chair, and disappeared from sight after a while. Yin Li does not sit in a sedan chair, the spring breeze in March blows, although it still carries the cool air of early spring, she can't feel it, while walking, while thinking quietly.

Lian'er accompanied her, told the other palace maids to stay away, and asked in a low voice: "Nobleman, what does that Song nobleman mean, if you are not willing to give it, just say it, I am not unfamiliar with her things." Why do you still want to let the nobles return the gift, I have never seen such a person! ”

Yin Li smiled: "You really give you a gift when she thinks she is giving you a gift, she gives a gift for today's return gift, where do I have such a hairpin, she obviously wants us to find a reason to exchange news with her." This woman is so scheming, we really have to learn something. ”

"It turns out that for this reason, she has enough thoughts, and the nobleman will have to guard against her a little in the future!" Lian'er's face changed, worried about the gloom.

"Alas, I didn't pay attention for a while, I was pulled in by her, it's not just me, these concubines in the palace were all pulled in by her, she ate it right, the law is not responsible, so she is unscrupulous, and she wasted her sweet and good appearance, but she is such a femme fatale." Yin Li stopped, it seemed that overnight, her heart had become old, she had never felt that she had to spend so much effort to think about one thing, to do one thing, and now she was burned, I really don't know what the road ahead is?

Lian'er was so angry that her face was flushed, and she was extremely angry in her heart, "Such a virtuous person can also be elected to the palace, but the queen mother also praised her for her dignified and beautiful beauty, and her demeanor is restless, and the nobles ignore her, and we didn't go to see that Li Meiren, so we can't have anything to do with this kind of person!" ”

Yin Li knew that she didn't know, and sighed: "Don't say it." This is only in the heart, you must not say it, we must not offend that kind of person, let's have peace of mind! After a while, I will pick a golden hairpin for you to send to her, remember to only be respectful, don't cause trouble. ”

After returning to the palace. Yin Li really found a hollow golden hairpin among his many ornaments. It was really as Song Jun said, and he didn't figure it out for a while, he just felt that something was wrong. It seemed that something was in his mind, but he didn't understand it, so he simply didn't want to, so he tore off the silk cloth on an old coat. A few words were written on it and rolled into a thin roll. When he put it in the hairpin, he felt that it was not right, so he pulled out the silk cloth again, lit it on the candle and threw it away. I picked a jade hairpin and took it and asked Lian'er to send it.

"Noble, this is not the hairpin she said!" Lian'er looked at it. I was puzzled.

"Why bother the same as what she said, this hairpin is very good. You told her that I was worried about her, and let her do whatever she wanted, and I had asked the old man to do whatever she wanted, and news would come soon. Lian'er nodded and turned to leave.

Yin Li looked at the hollow golden hairpin, and suddenly smiled and said to himself: "If I have words for you, wouldn't it make you sit on the handle, and now it is a verbal statement, there is no real evidence, when the time comes, I can deny it, what can you bear with me?" Song Jun, Song Jun, I didn't expect you to be so scheming, and I learned smarter today. ”

Lian'er came to the pear blossom pavilion where Song Jun lived, although it was still cold in spring, the pear blossoms in the courtyard had bloomed, the courtyard was full of fragrance, and the smellers were drunk. Clusters of flowers bloom on the branches, showing the most beautiful spring in the garden, not only sighed: "This pear blossom pavilion is more beautiful than our Chengfu Palace, and Ming'er also let the palace move some pear blossoms over!" ”

The maid of the palace has run in to pray, so she looked around in the garden, and saw that this pear flower pavilion and the Chengfu Hall are not only different from pear blossoms, but also the appearance of the courtyard is also unique.

There are side halls on the left and right, all of them are in the style of pavilions, but they are only two-story small buildings, which are one level shorter than the main hall in the middle. The main hall is full of pear blossoms and a few words, the calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, obviously from the hand of the man, but she does not know that this is the handwriting of Emperor Ming. There are beams in the middle and upper part of the front wall of the warehouse building of the building, and there are flat seats and painted flat seat railings on them, and the arch railings are clear and colorful.

was surprised to himself, but saw that Song Jun had already come out of the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Sister Lian'er is here, come in, did you bring the golden hairpin of the Yin nobleman?" ”

"Brought, but it's not a golden hairpin, it's a hosta!" As he spoke, he took out the hosta and put it in front of Song Jun.

Song Jun was slightly surprised, but his expression was tepid, and he said in a low voice: "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes!" Lian'er said what Yin Li had confessed. Song Jun listened quietly, and when she finished speaking, she took her hand and said: "There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, tell my sister, if there is anything, I Song Jun will stand on it, as long as my sister remembers what she promised me." ”

She looked at the pear blossoms in the garden again, her expression gloomy, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he suddenly laughed and said faintly: "Lian'er, in fact, I know that Sister Li has always distrusted me, but she doesn't know that I and her are fish in the same pool, just like this tree full of pear blossoms, as soon as the tree shakes, it will be full of pear blossoms." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the pear tree hard, and the rain fell all over the sky, and the pear blossoms flew up, which was extremely beautiful. Song Jun turned around among the flowers, and her skirt fluttered and bloomed like a flower. Laughing: "Look, how beautiful, but it's just for a moment!" ”

Zheng Zhong received the holy decree and was stunned for a long time. Because he was directly involved in the planning and implementation of Liu Zhao's seizure of power, he was designated as a meritorious service when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds. Naturally, he was promoted to Da Changqiu by Liu Zhao. Changqiu is the name of the queen's palace, which is used to name officials, and its official office is called "Changqiu Temple". This is the leader of the queen's close attendants, and it is not deserving of the person who is not the emperor's closest confidant. He was responsible for proclaiming the emperor's will and managing the affairs of the palace. Now the queen has not been established, so Zheng Zhong has repeatedly refused, and he is not accepted by the emperor's reward for himself. Naturally, his humility and benevolence were praised by Liu Zhao. But Zheng Zhong had another idea in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't accept this official position, nor does he not want the emperor's reward, but he is afraid that the ministers will criticize him and have a bad impact on the emperor. But Liu Zhao's insistence finally made him accept the reward and take charge of the affairs of the palace.

Li Meiren's matter, he knew that night, Taiyi Jia of Tai Hospital was his old friend, and he was the medical officer in charge of Li Meiren, so when he watched the emperor sad and sad in the dark, he was also anxious!

After taking the will, looking at the three words of the Inner Court Division, he actually had a feeling of being overwhelmed. (To be continued)
