It is said that Xiao Maozi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and ran outside the palace gate without touching the ground, but saw that the degraded Hua Concubine was kneeling on the ground sobbing and choking, crying endlessly. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said hatefully, "I said that you have something to say, and it will be a big sin to disturb the emperor's affairs here, why don't you give you a pass at dinner, and see if the master can see you?" Xiao Maozi persuaded Hua Rao, and at the same time made her eyes look so that the palace maid who followed behind quickly took people away.

Hua Rao was sad to cry, but when she saw Xiao Maozi say this, she was moved. It's just that Ai Ai didn't speak, and it seemed that there was nostalgia. The palace maids naturally guessed that they must have committed a crime this time, so they were in a hurry, so they came up to support Hua Rao and dragged her away.

Finally sent away this thing that entangled the dead, Xiao Maozi wiped the sweat on his forehead, and went in to report, "Long live the lord, the flower nobleman has returned to the palace, and the lord has also approved the excerpt for a long time, it is better to rest for a while, and the slave will pass some flower tea to you to taste, it is all new tribute from all over Yungui." ”

Emperor Hengqing stared at a few unknown small flowers in the white marble cup in his hand, and the dried flowers were blistered by water at this time, which was round and lovely. I can't help but think of Ling'er again, in the past, she lived in the Lingxi Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a place with a big palm, and a lot of flowers and plants were planted. Now that I think of it, she is still standing among the flowers and smiling at herself, and I don't realize that time has passed, where has she gone?

"Xiao Maozi, how is the investigation of Concubine Yun's illness and death that I asked you to inquire about? Concubine Yun has always been strong and healthy, how could I go out for a few days and suddenly die, it is really strange. If I know that there is a hidden thing in this matter, I must deal with the murderer severely. Such a thing in the harem must not be tolerated. ”

Xiao Maozi had just sent away a plague god, and at the moment he was accompanying him, looking at the air to calm down. I didn't want to be asked about such a tricky thing again, and the sweat on my brain suddenly came out again, and my brain was shining like a night pearl. "Returning to the Long Live Lord, the slave only knew that Concubine Yun had died of illness, and when she went to see it, the coffin had been closed, and her remains were not seen. But the queen also knew about it, and she visited Concubine Yun several times during her serious illness, thinking that she should have died of illness. ”

"The queen mother also knows that Concubine Yun is sick?" Emperor Hengqing was silent for a moment. I just think it's very complicated. I lost my mind for a moment. At this moment, there was a rumbling thunder outside the hall, and the dark clouds of the big flowers were pressed down, and Emperor Hengqing strode out of the palace gate, and saw a black cloud pressing down. I only felt a swelling in my chest. I can't spit it out and I can't press it. The cotton balls were stuffed uncomfortably. Looking back at Xiao Maozi who followed behind, he ordered, "Prepare the horse." I'm going out of the palace! ”

Xiao Maozi's sweat hadn't dried yet, and he was so frightened by these words that he didn't dare to say a word with the guards in front of him, and everyone was surprised to be silent for a while.

"Get out of here and get ready, if you delay again, I'll cut off your head!"

Xiao Maozi didn't dare to delay this time, and ran to arrange for someone to prepare the royal horse with a bitter gourd face. The brothers Han Yong and Han Meng are now the imperial guards, but the emperor does not speak, and no one dares to follow rashly, and they are also worried.

For a while, someone led a horse over, Emperor Hengqing pulled a horse and rode it, splashed the wind and beat the horse straight out of the palace gate, and made a big circle, but saw the autumn clouds outside the city, the enemy was dark, and the grass was even more desolate. Because of turning the dock to the west, turning into a small road, letting the horses gallop, I heard a sound of women playing in the distance, and I couldn't help but wonder. After walking for a moment, you can see a pink wall to the west, and there is a small farm yard in the lush greenery, with a plaque on which is written "very hustle and bustle" in a few juanxiu characters. There were several people singing as they struck the strings:

The rain is hazy, the mountains are hazy, and the misty acacia is where to find. The Yiren are broken!

The wind is sassy, the sea is sassy, and the sassy wish is when. The Shadow of the Cold Moon here!

Autumn sel, moon sel, lonely, who will ask. Full of lovesickness!

The geese are fluttering, the people are fluttering, and the fluttering is free to beg. Linfeng is nostalgic!

Tears, love, romance has never lived. Take the moon to know the wine!

Flowers and bushes, meaning bushes, and bushes are not often visited. The bard is also ashamed!

The heart is curling, the love is curling, and the curling is empty. The sky is quiet with the bright moon!

The water is murmuring, the feelings are murmuring, and the murmuring lingers and cannot be left. People are thinner than yellow flowers!

Emperor Hengqing listened gloomily, how could such a quiet and peaceful place also come out of such a sad tune, and he didn't feel that he was stunned for a while, and he felt more and more that what he was doing as an emperor was very boring.

"Sisters, let's learn today's poetry here, they all blame me, it's okay to teach you these sad things, and make everyone sad more and more." Ling'er was emotionally sung by everyone's song "Tanabata Song", calmed down, and comforted with a forced smile.

"Where, my sister is willing to teach my sister, that is our blessing."

"Exactly, where did I learn these interesting things in the past, and it's too late to be grateful."

"Isn't it, happy!"

Everyone gossiped and persuaded Ling'er again, and then they dispersed. Ling'er collected the scroll, and when she saw that it was about to rain, she felt very depressed in her heart, so she walked out of the yard and wanted to take a break before the rain fell.

The door was gently pushed open, and Ling'er walked out slowly with her skirt in hand. The courtyard faces west is a field of rape flowers, although the flowers and fruits fall at this time, but the emerald green and golden yellow at a glance is also very intoxicating. Emperor Hengqing saw Ling'er Tingting walking in front of him, but he couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of rain and mist, and he gently spit out a few words from between his teeth, "So you are here." He said it lightly, as if to the man in front of him, and as if to himself.

Ling'er only felt that there was movement behind her, and when she turned around, she was alone and one horse, and she stayed in place in shock. When he came back to his senses, he didn't speak, but went on.

"If you come to look for me, you don't have to say a word, unless I die, I won't go back with you?" Ling'er's face was cold, the scroll in his hand was held in the palm of his hand, crumpled into a ball, and his eyes looked forward indifferently without any expression.

Emperor Hengqing's original joy seemed to be poured down by a basin of ice water in an instant, he was the emperor for several months, and accepted the big gifts of hundreds of civil and military officials every day. Reaching out and grabbing a wildflower, "Aren't you so cold that you don't care about your loved ones?" There are still people who make you nostalgic. Don't have time to take care of the old relationship between you and me? ”

Ling'er's heart was slightly relieved at this moment, she was only afraid that if he grabbed himself back, then there would be no hope at all. And at this moment he began to reason with himself, which meant that there was still room for maneuver. Then he turned around, looked at him, and said slowly, "If the emperor can abandon human morality, ignore the world's leisurely mouth, and just do some things that anger and resentment of the sky, but can you really do this?" ”

Emperor Hengqing was stunned. Immediately said suddenly. "I don't need you to tell me these great truths, you abandoned me, it is not a woman's doing, what kind of face do you have to talk about Gangchang in front of the truth. It's really fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter. ”

"I'm still the same spirit I used to be. Is the emperor still the former Ah Heng? If you are not. How can you still ask Ling'er to stay with you? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, how can you think about my feelings and remember me in your heart. Ling'er will only have one husband. And Ling'er's husband can only have one Ling'er, I will say all I have to say, whether the emperor believes it or not is up to you. Ling'er bit her lips tightly, a pair of apricot tears were shining, and for a while she felt that Emperor Hengqing in front of her was still as close as in the past, and for a while she felt as if she was in a different world, how could the two of them suddenly be so far away. The so-called close to the end of the world is probably just like the present.

Emperor Hengqing's heart has sunk to the bottom, and to this day, what he has been suppressing in the depths of his heart has to be turned over and faced. Ling'er is still that Ling'er, but what about himself? Although I know that the problem is on my side, it has changed too much and become too fast, and I can't face it calmly, but I blindly impose all the blame on her, how unfair is it?

Ling'er saw that the other party was silent, and her expression seemed to ease, and she said tentatively, "Although I can't be a couple with you in the deep palace, but I can't turn a deaf ear to the affairs of the world and the people of Limin, the so-called rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, how should you deal with this matter now?" ”

"Is it the incident that Mu Chenfeng said when he entered the palace before? It's not that I can't do it now, but I can't do it. I am the new emperor, the foundation is unstable, and my father is frail and sickly, so I dare not bother his old man too much. When Emperor Hengqing saw that he was talking to Ling'er about being happy, he didn't seem to be very depressed for a while, and he looked up at the black clouds pressing down, and felt that it was really difficult to relax.

"It's going to rain soon, if the emperor doesn't dislike it, can you go to the cold house with Ling'er to sit down, although I don't have the delicacies and wine in the imperial dining room, the coarse tea and light rice also taste unique." Ling'er smiled playfully, revealing the appearance of the past, a pair of pear vortices seemed to be filled with fine wine, at this time, when the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and Emperor Hengqing's heart is swaying for a while. "Whether you are still my concubine or not, the former little princess is worth missing for a lifetime, Ling'er, is it possible for you and me to go back to the past?"

Ling'er hurriedly twisted her head away, and it was useless to say more at this moment, so she asked, "Please move to the cold house, let's talk while eating, it's better than raining here, isn't it?" In case of a cold wind, and I don't know what to make trouble, I, a flat-headed little person, can't afford it! ”

Han Yong and Han Meng watched Emperor Hengqing chatting with a woman for a long time from a distance, and now they entered the courtyard of the farmhouse with others. Han Meng worried, "I don't know what the origin of this house is, let's get closer, in case of an accident, we have to act quickly." Han Yong was noncommittal, such a scene, except for the carefree little princess, he had never seen the emperor have such a leisurely and leisurely situation, so he didn't dare to step forward, for fear of disturbing the emperor Yaxing. Then he pressed his brother, "Slow, although this place is remote, but there is no cover, not to mention that the other party is a woman, and the emperor has martial arts, so he is not afraid." ”

At this time, the heavy rain really fell like a floating bowl, Ling'er instructed his subordinates to make a few small dishes, accompanied Emperor Hengqing to eat and drink, while gossiping, the two of them decided not to mention the past, only to discuss the suffering of the people in front of them. This is also harmonious, Ling'er tried to lead the topic to Hua Jincheng, and Emperor Hengqing left the palace because Hua Rao was a stubble, so he avoided talking about these as much as possible. It made Ling'er very strange, "There are more than forty girls in my courtyard, can Ah Heng know their origins?" Ling'er filled Emperor Hengqing's wine glass with wine, and in order to avoid suspicion, he called him Ah Heng as usual, and Emperor Hengqing was very useful.

"I looked at these people, most of them were women from the south, Wu Nong spoke softly, and they were very cute. It's just that now that the natural disaster is avoided, they have to be displaced, and their flesh and blood are scattered, which is really sad! ”

"Natural disasters are naturally inviolable, but man-made disasters are even more hateful, who is not raised by their parents, the royal family and nobles, and the people of Li are also." Ling'er listened to Emperor Hengqing's avoidance of the important and light, and decided not to mention the matter of Hua Jincheng, but blindly picked up the three things that were not in two, and he was angry and launched a rush.

"You, presumptuous!" Emperor Hengqing is not His Royal Highness King Heng in the past, now that he is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, where can he be buried like this again, he casually took out the wine glass and looked at Ling'er angrily.

A gloomy voice outside the window said with a smile, "I just didn't expect to look at such a bright and elegant son, since he was also complicit with that corrupt official, what kind of anger did my sister put with such a person, it was not worth hurting my own body." As he spoke, he heard a little bit of a search, and then a few people came in. A tall woman walked in front, wearing a light red gown, a long skirt, her eyes were moving, her physique was light, and her sleeves were slightly pulled and holding the pipa. Followed by three or four girls, all with solemn expressions and sad voices, but they all came empty-handed.

Ling'er also felt that what she said just now was a bit wrong, and when she saw Hongye coming in, she was afraid that he would make a mistake, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her sleeves and sat down, "Master Heng is my honored guest, since you are here, how about singing a song to cheer up?" ”

Red Leaves smiled at Ling'er, "Red Leaves are here to play tunes, otherwise why bother to disturb the two of you." With that, he plucked a few times, and then began to sing:

Pear Blossom Cloud Rao Jinxiang Pavilion, Butterfly Spring Melt Nephrite Screen, Three or Four Birds Cry Among the Flowers, Dream Start, Half Coma and Half Wake Up; The willow cotton blows the window in the evening breeze, the flower shadow is light and the moon is bright, and the cui is awakened by the musk orchid, which is the most emotional, half warm and half cold

The song of red leaves sounds like an ordinary song, but it is the connotation of a benevolent and a wise man. For everyone, it is a cold and lyrical thing, although it sounds sad, but it is just a bitter tear. But Emperor Hengqing was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was angry and embarrassed.

"That's it, Hongye, you wait for the sisters to go out first, I think Master Heng should go back too." Ling'er accepted it when she saw it, and hurriedly sent everyone away, if the thing was done, if it couldn't be as everyone wanted, she was helpless.

"Master, the minions are here to pick you up, it's time to go home after dark." Han Yong and the others saw that Emperor Hengqing had not come out for a long time, and they couldn't wait, so they waited until the door to find someone. (To be continued......)
