Chapter 160: The Imperial Study
Ning Yanchen has been staying in the villa for the past few days, with Xiao'er here, it is inconvenient for him to do things, this girl is very fine, it is not so easy to get rid of her, so he can only deal with her for a while before acting. After half a month, seeing that Xiao'er was finally no longer around, Ning Yanchen was overjoyed. The time is almost up, the people in the palace should be arranged, he took advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and left the villa and went directly to the palace.
Xiao'er has actually been thinking about Ning Yanchen's "business" in her heart, the more Ning Yanchen is reluctant to say it, the more she wants to know, these days, she pretends to be impatient, and she no longer pesters Ning Yanchen, the purpose is to make Ning Yanchen relax her vigilance. Watching Ning Yanchen go out, she was not in a hurry, she would definitely be discovered by Ning Yanchen if she followed too closely, anyway, she had a way to find Ning Yanchen.
An hour later, Xiao'er also set off, still going out the same way, still stunned the two unlucky guards guarding the stone gate, and went out lightly.
Out of the cave, Xiao'er took out a small bottle from her sleeve, uncorked it, and a jade bee flew out. She applied a honey fragrance on Ning Yanchen's fan early in the morning, this kind of incense is not smelled by ordinary people, but it has a unique attraction to the jade bee, as long as it is coated with this incense, the jade bee will follow the fragrance all the way, so that Xiao'er is not afraid of not finding Ning Yanchen.
After Ning Yanchen arrived at the palace, he did not go directly to the imperial study, but went to Sun Liuyun's Changyang Palace, where Sun Liuyun was already waiting for him.
"You're here." Sun Liuyun didn't know who Ning Yanchen was or what her identity was, she did all this completely for the sake of Huangfu Jingyao. As soon as she received the letter from the emperor, she began to secretly pay attention to the emperor's every move. In the past few days, the emperor has been unwell and has been living in Concubine Li's Yutang Palace, so she sent someone to inform Ning Yanchen. Tell him the time has come.
"How many people are still on duty in the Imperial Study?"
"Because the emperor dragon is unwell, he won't go to the imperial study for a few days, so there are only two little eunuchs on duty there." Sun Liuyun has already made it clear to the maid.
"That's easy."
"Do you need me to send someone to take you to the Imperial Study?"
"No, I know where." The topography of this palace Ning Yanchen was very clear, he refused, and Sun Liuyun glanced at him suspiciously.
"That being the case, be careful."
Ning Yanchen left Changyang Palace and walked quickly. It didn't take long to arrive at the imperial study. Sure enough, as Sun Liuyun said, there were only two little eunuchs standing at the door, and it was late at night. Both of them were drowsy, their heads drooping incessantly. With a flick of his finger, he hit a stone on the tree in the front court of the imperial study, and the branches shook softly. The two little eunuchs were so frightened that they immediately sobered up. They looked at each other and asked "who", so they went to check under the tree together, and Ning Yanchen took the opportunity to enter the imperial study and closed the door again.
"It turned out to be a cat scurrying around in the trees, and the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office are getting more and more sloppy, and the imperial study is not cleaned up here." The two little eunuchs went to the bottom of the tree, and there happened to be a cat squatting there, and they complained a few words. He stood back in the doorway, but he didn't know that a man had entered the door.
After Ning Yanchen entered the imperial study. It was pitch black inside, because he couldn't light the lights, and he couldn't look for the talisman too much, so he couldn't find it for a long time. I touched the desk and found nothing, and then went to the bookshelf next to it and flipped through it, opening it one by one, but still found nothing. Such an important thing, Huangfu Jingwen must be hidden in a secret place, he carefully checked the style of this bookshelf, and found that there was a grid of baffles that did not seem to fit very tightly, so he gently opened this board, and found that there was a secret grid on the wall, and there was a box in the dark grid, and the box had a hard thing, and when I looked at it by the moonlight, sure enough, it was a talisman.
Now that he got this, he can leave.
Just as Ning Yanchen was about to go out, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "See the emperor." ”
It's Huangfu Jingwen, why did he come here at night, didn't he say that he was sick and resting at Concubine Li's?
Huangfu Jingwen was indeed resting in Yutang Palace, but he saw Chu Xiangwan again in his dream, Chu Xiangwan in the dream leaned sweetly on another man's arms, no matter how he called, he didn't look back at him, he woke up from his sleep with a loud cry, but he also woke up Fu Qingwu.
"Your Majesty, are you dreaming again?" Fu Qingwu actually heard Chu Xiangwan's name, but she didn't want to mention Chu Xiangwan for half a word.
"Yes, I dreamed of Xiang Wan."
"Sister?" Concubine Li pretended to be surprised, in fact, Huangfu Jingwen has rarely dreamed of Chu Xiangwan recently, because she has recently begun to instigate Huangfu Jingwen to take Wushisan, and the emperor indulges in lust, often singing every night until dawn. It is precisely because of this that the emperor will be unwell, Wushisan is toxic, and taking too much will make people weak. The Queen Mother ordered the imperial doctor to investigate the cause of the disease, but Huangfu Jingwen did not allow them to tell the truth, only saying that they would have to rest for a few days if they were tired. But tonight, why did Huangfu Jingwen dream of Chu Xiangwan again.
"I'll come when I go." Huangfu Jingwen suddenly got up.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Rest well." Huangfu Jingwen ignored it and left without looking back.
Seeing that the emperor was gone, Honeysuckle came in, and she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is this?" ”
"Where else can I go, it's not that I haven't been, it's just to see things and think about people, it doesn't matter, it's just looking at dead things and thinking about old people, things will be yellow, people will be forgotten, this palace believes that day will not be far away." As long as you take more Wushisan, you are not afraid that the emperor will not forget that woman, thinking so in her heart, Fu Qingwu smiled pitifully, and even Honeysuckle was a little scared when she saw it.
Huangfu Jingwen did go to the imperial study, Ning Yanchen hid behind the curtain, someone came in and lit the candlestick on the table, and there was a sound of footsteps walking to the table.
"Go down."
"Yes." Everyone withdrew.
Huangfu Jingwen stood at the table and looked up, sighed deeply, Ning Yanchen looked through the curtain, only to see Huangfu Jingwen stepped forward and lifted the gauze curtain behind the dragon chair, and the portrait of Chu Xiangwan was hanging on the wall, at this moment, Ning Yanchen's hands were a little unstable.
"Xiang Wan, Xiang Wan has been so many years, why are you still reluctant to come back, do you know, Kai'er has grown up, you don't know how smart and sensible he is, and he is very filial and cute, even the queen mother likes this child very much. If you're still with me, it's all over, but where are you, life or death, and why is there no news at all? Huangfu Jingwen's voice was full of pain, Ning Yanchen could hear how deeply he missed Chu Xiangwan, in this regard, he was no different from Huangfu Jingyao. Ning Yanchen looked at the portrait from a distance, and the person on the painting turned around to look at the plum blossoms in the garden, smiling lightly, it was so beautiful and refined, and he also asked in his heart: When will we find you?
