Although it has been fourteen years and almost fifteen years, Emperor Xiao has always been haunted after all, so he still remembers the scene when Dinglian took the little girl into the palace to greet him. I just don't know if the child is willing to forgive herself, forgive her uncle who can't protect her sister.

About an hour later, the two carriages arrived at the Jianchun Gate at the east gate of Jiankang Palace at the same time, Xiao Mocheng led Jiang Mei, Lou Qiang took Hua Ying, and after the two got off the car, they saw each other at the same time.

"Your Highness!"

"Lord Lou!"

"Miss Jiang!"

"Miss Hua!"

As soon as Xiao Mocheng saw her, he immediately walked over, after all, he had been with her for so many years, and he didn't know that she was his cousin who was a month younger than him, his face was hot for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Jiang Mei also came over and said apologetically: "I offended a lot last night, and I still want to look at Hua... Oh no, I should say that Miss Yun forgive me! She looked up, her face light and light.

When Hua Ying heard her call her "Yun Girl", her heart was like a knife, the pain hit her one after another, her face turned pale instantly, and her tears couldn't help falling again.

Hua Ying couldn't bear it, the tears flowed more fiercely, and Jiang Mei on the side could only pretend that nothing happened, in order not to affect the emotions in her heart, Jiang Mei didn't turn her head to look at the other side, and there was a deep sadness hidden in her indifferent eyes.

Xiao Mocheng walked over and held Hua Ying's slightly trembling shoulder. comforted softly: "It's all over, don't be sad, I swear, I will never let you be wronged again in the future, and one day I will let you get your wish!" ”

When Xiao Mocheng said the last sentence, his voice was lower and firmer, that was his promise to Mu Xiaohe, and now he also gave it to Hua Ying, or rather, to Yun Yueyao. He will return the Yun family's innocence. Let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors with dignity.

Hua Ying looked up at him in a daze, there was no teasing or joke in her clear eyes, Hua Ying nodded with tears in her eyes, she believed Xiao Mocheng. He will do what he says.

It's just that. When Xiao Mocheng said this. Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, if she wanted to eliminate the Yun family's rebellious charge, it would be difficult to ascend to the sky.

"Your Highness. Girl, it's not too early, Your Majesty is still waiting! Lou Qiang reminded.

When Xiao Mocheng heard this, he led Hua Ying and motioned Jiang Mei to follow him with his eyes, and walked out of the palace gate like this.

The two of them followed Xiao Mocheng left and right, and in an instant, Jiang Mei looked up at the majestic palace gate inlaid with the words "Jianchun Gate", at that moment, everything seemed to have returned to many years ago, Hua Ying still entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiao instead of her identity, and she also played the role of a little girl to enter the palace to play, and the eldest princess pulled one with her left hand and one with her right hand, and took the two into the palace with a pampered face.

But now the noble and beautiful mother has long since lost her soul, and she has not even been able to see her for the last time. Jiang Mei smiled bitterly and sighed silently, maybe everything didn't belong to her, the happiness of the past, the deep affection was just a passing happiness, and now when she looks back and wants to catch it, she is sad and powerless.

Jiang Mei smiled proudly, threw the prostration to the warm winter sun above her head, and came back to her senses and followed Xiao Mocheng into the palace gate.

When the few people walked to the vicinity of the Taiji Palace, they separated, Xiao Mocheng led Jiang Mei to the harem, while Hua Ying followed Lou Qiang to the Taiji East Hall. Hua Ying took advantage of Xiao Mocheng's inattention and glanced at Jiang Mei deeply, Jiang Mei nodded at her with a smile, and then Jiang Mei also followed Xiao Mocheng's footsteps and walked towards the harem with Ruoyun.

After Hua Ying walked to the Taiji East Palace, she waited outside the hall for the summons, she had seen Emperor Xiao several times when she was young, so Hua Ying was not nervous at all, on the contrary, there was a faint hatred in her heart, Rao is Mu Xiaohe repeatedly told her to restrain her mood and try to win Emperor Xiao's sympathy, Hua Ying also had to be angry at the moment, after all, it was Emperor Xiao who personally ordered the Yun family to commit suicide.

"Miss Yun, has Your Majesty summoned you?" Xu Huaiyuan walked out in person and softly reminded Hua Ying, who was in a daze on the side. Hua Ying immediately came back to her senses when she heard this, blessed Xu Huaiyuan, and followed him in. Hua Ying followed him through the two doors and entered the warm pavilion of Emperor Xiao's winter administration.

At this moment, in the warm pavilion, there is only Emperor Xiao alone.

Hua Ying just followed behind Xu Huaiyuan step by step, not daring to raise her head, only when she vaguely walked in front of Emperor Xiao, she grabbed her dress, Ying Ying knelt down and bowed: "Hua Ying greets Your Majesty!" The voice is soft and gentle, and the listener will feel comfortable and relaxed.

Emperor Xiao heard the voice, trembling slightly, from the moment Hua Ying came in, he looked at her in a daze, seeing that she walked dignified and quiet, he was quite relieved, just now he had inquired with Su Weixin and others about Zhengle Tai, fortunately, Hua Ying only occasionally played the piano on the floor, and Zheng Letai was not a green building, presumably before she married into Mu Mansion, she should still be an innocent girl, and now she sees Hua Ying knows etiquette, and her behavior is quite a lady's bearing, and her heart is even more happy.

Emperor Xiao immediately got up, walked to the front of the desk, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Child, get up quickly, let the imperial uncle see..."

Hearing this, Hua Ying raised her head slightly, glanced at Emperor Xiao with tears on her face, and then tilted her head sideways, tears still flowing.

Emperor Xiao saw her sad face, and his heart ached, Emperor Xiao looked at her face carefully, and then compared it with the appearance in his mind, and secretly felt in his heart that it was indeed similar, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it. Seeing her teary eyes, Emperor Xiao comforted softly: "Child, it is the fault of the imperial uncle that has made you suffer all these years, and the imperial uncle will try his best to make up for you in the future and no longer let you be wronged." As he spoke, Emperor Xiao caught the handkerchief handed over by Xu Huaiyuan with one hand, and gently wiped it for her with the other, Hua Ying immediately took the handkerchief, and pretended to smile and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huang..."

When Emperor Xiao saw that she was willing to call him an imperial uncle, his heart was much more comfortable, and he immediately smiled softly: "Yue'er, you will be my daughter in the future, and I will treat you like my own!" ”

Hua Ying immediately raised her teary eyes and looked at Emperor Xiao with a grateful expression. I seem to be so grateful that I don't know what to say.

"Yue'er has no relatives, and the emperor's uncle is Yue'er's relatives!" Hua Ying thought of the dead Yun family, and burst into tears again.

Emperor Xiao lowered his head, looked at her in a daze, and asked, "Child, don't you blame me?" It's my decree......"

Before Emperor Xiao finished speaking, Hua Ying shook her head vigorously and said: "Yue'er knows that the imperial uncle is forced to be helpless, and the mother has long known it, and the mother has not blamed the imperial uncle!" ”

Emperor Xiao's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Really?" Does your mother really think so? Emperor Xiao blamed himself for this for fourteen years, he kept thinking about it. His sister must have hated him before she died. And now I have listened to Hua Ying's words. My heart is as comfortable as the clouds breaking through the sunrise.

Hua Ying nodded heavily and said, "Yes, my mother has been counting the names of those ministers who forced you to kill the Yun family in a book, and my mother didn't say it." In fact, she knew everything in her heart. She understands her uncle's distress better than anyone else. ”

Emperor Xiao was told by her. His eyes were hot and moist, and he almost couldn't help but shed tears, and said again and again: "Good boy." Come on, hurry up and come to the hot stove, don't freeze. ”

Hua Ying helped him to the hot stove with a calm smile on her face, and sat down with him.

"Yue'er, you stay in the palace for a day first, and tell me how you have lived all these years!" Emperor Xiao said with a smile.

When Emperor Xiao said this, Xu Huaiyuan led the female official in the palace and walked in, only to see that the female official was about fifty years old, walking up, neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm bearing and calm demeanor. Hua Ying thought in her heart that she should be a high-ranking female official in the palace.

Emperor Xiao glanced up at the person who came, and ordered: "Mama Rui, Yun Yatou will live in the palace for two days, and you should worry more about her diet, daily life, food and clothing!" ”

"Rui Yang understands!" Rui Yang replied softly.

The speaker is none other than Yin Ruiyang, the first rank in the palace, and she is the highest-ranking female official in the palace.

Emperor Xiao immediately introduced to Hua Ying: "Yue'er, this is Mama Yin Rui in the palace, she was also the one who served by your mother's side back then, she is the old man in the palace, you go to rest with Mama first!" ”

Hearing this, Hua Ying immediately got up and saluted her, and Rui Yang immediately smiled back.

"I'm tired of Aunt Teaching Yueyao!" Hua Yingrourou said,

Rui Yang glanced at her deeply, hiding her inner fluctuations, trying her best to make herself look casual, she smiled lightly, and said softly: "Miss is polite, please follow me to your dormitory." ”

Hua Ying nodded in response, and then saluted Emperor Xiao again, and then followed Rui Yang out of the Taiji Palace, and Rui Yang took Hua Ying along the palace road that Jiang Mei had just walked towards the harem.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Jiang Mei waited for Concubine Su to take medicine and fell asleep, and then walked out of the Tilting Hall where Concubine Su lived, because of the fever of Concubine Su at night, Xiao Mocheng asked Jiang Mei to stay in the palace. So Jiang Mei can visit Jiankang Palace again. Xiao Mocheng also gave her his palace card with great interest, and also asked the father-in-law in charge of the Tianyan Hall to take more care of her, the chamberlain is also a clear-eyed person, and he has already seen that Xiao Mocheng is special to her, how can he not take good care of her.

After Xiao Mocheng instructed Jiang Mei, he was ready to go to the Taiji Hall to restore Emperor Xiao's life, he entered the palace early this morning to go to see his mother, it was on the road that he met the inner servant who wanted to go out of the palace to summon Jiang Mei into the palace, he took the initiative to take up this job without saying a word, and took Jiang Mei in. Now he also has to report to Emperor Xiao about Concubine Su's situation.

Before he left, Jiang Mei said a clueless word, "Your Highness, I want to go to the Tai Hospital, just be idle, take the opportunity to go to the Tai Hospital to discuss with the old scholars in the palace!" ”

Xiao Mocheng said that she was going to "ask for advice", how did she feel strange, she was already far from the old bones in the hospital when she was young next year, isn't it a blatant provocation to ask them for advice? But Jiang Mei loves to play, can he still agree?

So he kept shaking his head and laughing: "Don't just tear down the hospital!" After that, he glanced at the maid who followed Jiang Mei, motioned her to follow Jiang Mei, and walked towards the Taiji Palace.

Jiang Mei glanced back at the maid behind her and said, "Please lead the way!" Ruoyun was arranged by her to take care of Concubine Su, so Xiao Mocheng assigned her another girl.

"The girl can call me Xiangyi, please come with me!" Xiangyi bowed and said.

Jiang Mei smiled and followed her, no matter how blind Jiang Mei was, she could see Xiangyi's position in the Tilting Yan Palace, except for Concubine Su's personal maid, this Xiangyi girl was probably the highest-level maid in the palace.

Jiang Mei guessed well, it was precisely because Xiangyi had a lot of face in the palace that Xiao Mocheng was relieved to let her follow Jiang Mei.

The Tai Hospital is on the east side of the harem, Xiangyi led Jiang Mei out of the Tianyan Hall and walked along the palace road to the east, and when the two of them walked to a more remote lane, Jiang Mei opened her mouth gently, "Siliu, do you have an eyebrow to investigate?" ”

Xiangyi still smiled respectfully, but said in a low voice: "Miss, Siliu has been investigating very carefully, but the old things have passed for too long, and most of the palace maids who still have some impressions in the palace have been released, and those who know some inside information are either dead or tight-lipped, but I have secretly heard some rumors..."

"What's the gossip?"

"Someone doubts the identity of the Nine Emperor Princes...... Xiangyi's voice was very low, and he still had a smile on his face, but his heart had already turned upside down,

Jiang Mei was shocked when she heard this, but fortunately there was no one around, she forcibly suppressed the turbulence in her heart, and continued to ask, "Where did you hear this?" ”

Xiangyi slowed down and pointed to a towering old banyan tree, as if she was introducing the history of the tree to Jiang Mei, "A year ago, on the birthday of the Nine Emperor Princes, His Majesty held a feast in the palace, and some fathers-in-law and palace maids also drank a little more that night. It is suspected that the Nine Emperor Princes are not His Majesty's own sons, and on the second day, those fathers-in-law and girls all disappeared quietly, presumably being executed. Xiangyi lightly said some of the old secrets in the palace as lightly as a breeze.

Jiang Mei probably understood the outline of the matter in her heart, Concubine Su was originally the favorite concubine of the first emperor, and after succeeding to the throne today, despite everyone's opposition, she insisted on taking Concubine Su as a concubine, and Concubine Su gave birth to a prince the following year, if what the father-in-law said was true, then Xiao Mocheng was likely to be the son of Emperor Ming, and Concubine Su had to make signs of premature birth in order to cover up the truth, and to make all this unaware, it must be planned by Su Jin.

"Siliu, how did those palace maids and eunuchs die?" Jiang Mei then asked in a low voice, casually looking at the inner palace gate not far in front of her as she walked.

"I vaguely learned that it seems to have been taken away by Lord Guanglu Xunhua's personal guards, Miss, if the background of the Nine Emperor Princes is really suspicious, then Siliu feels that Hua Ying must be Su Jin's person, Concubine Su can sit back and relax in the palace over the years, Su Jin must have taken a lot of chess pieces in secret to protect the safety of their mother and son, and because of this, Siliu has never dared to act rashly in the palace, and this matter is very important, so I can only tell Miss about this matter today." Xiangyi still kept a certain distance from Jiang Mei while walking, just in case someone bumped into her. (To be continued......)
