Chapter 189: Seclusion (1)

After Tang Buyi left the bamboo house, he returned to the Yulan courtyard.

Now it is the early winter, and since he has regained his strength, Tang Bujing has planted flowers and plants in the small courtyard of the four seasons. At this time, it is the time when the plum blossoms are blooming, and when you enter the small courtyard, there is a room of fragrant fragrance. On the railing of the stilted building, a pigeon is lying. The pigeon is snow-white, and its eyes and beak are red, which is very beautiful. A slender bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's ankle, and Tang Bu took a small handful of corn, fed it to the pigeon, and untied the bamboo tube from its leg. The pigeon "cooed" a few times before spreading its wings again and fluttering away.

Open the bamboo tube and take out the letterhead inside. Some of the yellowed notes had only a few lines of poetry written succinctly—a number of directions, and a flood of desolation. It doesn't have to be short today, and it doesn't have to be long in the past. The moon went up to the west building and looked back, looking forward to rewarding with you.

After reading it, Tang Bu took the fire fold, lit the candle, and then put the note by the candle flame and lit it until the note turned into a pile of black ashes. This note was sent by the crown prince Situ Mu, and the content written in it seemed to be inconsequential, but Tang Bujing knew what he meant. The first four lines are taken from the Song of the Child Time, alluding to the time of the child. It means that today, when the bright moon is in the sky, they meet in the "full moon building" where they are accustomed to meeting, and they have important matters to discuss. These code words can only be understood by him, Situ Mu, and a few of Situ Mu's henchmen. If the pigeon is intercepted, the person who sees the note will not find any clues.

When it was almost time to arrive, Tang Buxi changed into a dark robe and left the Yulan courtyard. He performed light work, fast and silently. Like a ghost lurking in the dark, ready to strike at any moment. The curfew had long passed, and there was no one on the road at all, so Tang Buxi was still very vigilant and observed the surroundings. After making sure that no one was following him, Tang Bu dodged and successfully evaded the guards guarding the door and entered the Great Zhou Palace. He easily avoided the guards and palace maids who patrolled the night, and went straight to the outside of a palace that had been abandoned for a long time.

This palace is the "Full Moon Palace", also known as the "Full Moon Building", where a concubine who was very favored by the emperor when he was young lived here. The concubine's name was "Full Moon". It looks as beautiful as a full moon. As soon as she entered the palace, she was named the beauty of the moon. In the following three years, she kept being promoted, from beauty to Jieyu, and from Jieyu to noble. Three years later. Concubine Yue is pregnant with a dragon heir. The emperor was overjoyed. Make an exception before she gives birth. He named her a concubine. The emperor even promised that after she gave birth to a child, whether it was a man or a woman, he would promote her as a concubine. Enjoy the supreme privilege. The full moon seems to be at the pinnacle of life, but it plummets at the peak!

Because she was too favored and had the promise of the first emperor, the first queen Yang was greatly threatened. Empress Yang found a folk secret method, and after giving birth to a baby boy in the full moon, she ordered people to spread rumors that the child was not from the emperor. The rumors spread ten, ten, hundreds, and finally reached the ears of the former emperor. The emperor felt that this was a great insult to himself, even if he didn't believe that the full moon would betray him, he still had a pimple in his heart after all, and he didn't love the full moon mother and son as much as before.

Full Moon is reluctant and eager to prove her innocence. At this time, some palace people told her that she could take the method of dripping blood to prove that the little prince was born by the previous emperor. Full Moon listened to this palace person, but he didn't know that this palace person was Queen Yang's henchman. Everything went according to Empress Yang's plan. In the end, the blood of the little prince and the blood of the previous emperor were separated from each other in the clear water, and they did not dissolve with each other. The emperor was so disappointed that he ordered the infant to be strangled. As for the full moon, the emperor still missed her friendship, so he put her under house arrest in the full moon palace, which was like entering the cold palace, and he didn't ask again. Full Moon saw the child strangled to death with her own eyes, and she was abandoned in the once magnificent palace, with nowhere to confide in her grievances, and soon went crazy. Not long after, the full moon hanged himself alone in the cold full moon palace. It wasn't until she was dead for a long time, and her body was weathered by hanging from the beams of the house, that she was found. A generation of favorite concubines only ended up in such a miserable end.

Later, the full moon palace was uninhabited, and many palace people said that because the full moon died too wronged, the ghost did not disperse, and he always lingered in the palace and refused to enter the reincarnation. There were already many ghosts and lonely souls in the palace, and when Queen Yang heard this, she was scared, so she ordered to completely go crazy to the Moon Full Palace, and the once luxurious palace has been abandoned since then.

The deserted, deserted and haunted palace naturally no one dared to approach. Situ Mu and Tang Bujing chose to meet here, so naturally they would not be noticed. When Tang was not surprised, Situ Mu was already waiting there. It has been more than a year since Situ Mu was confined to the East Palace. Over the past year or so, Situ Mu has lost a lot of weight. In the eyes of others, he was lonely and negative, sighing and sighing in the East Palace all day long, and borrowing wine to kill his sorrows. But in reality, Situ never gave up on his plans. With his ability, the East Palace alone can't trap him at all. made those decadent appearances, in fact, for Situ Bi to see, so as to teach him to relax his vigilance. In private, all the affairs of Situ Mu outside the palace were taken care of by Tang Bujing. The two met at the Full Moon Palace every once in a while to discuss their next steps.

"Sir," seeing Tang Bu coming over, Situ Mu immediately greeted him, and he didn't see him pick up the prince's shelf.

Tang Bu was shocked but saluted him first according to the rules, and then smiled again: "I haven't seen him for two months, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be in good spirits." ”

Situ Mu laughed: "I have nothing to do every day, eat and drink, and at most act for the old man, the crown princess and those palace guards to see, where can it be bad?" ”

"As long as His Highness's mentality is adjusted well, his subordinates will be relieved." Tang Bujing was very satisfied with Situ Mu's current state, and he was also optimistic about him in his heart. In the midst of a great disadvantage, he can still stabilize his emotions and deploy secretly, this prince of the Great Zhou is a person with foresight, courage, patience, and responsibility. If he can inherit the unification in the future, it will also be a good thing for the Great Zhou.

When Tang Bujing helped Han Xi enter the palace as a female official, he promised that Situ Mu would help him succeed. Now, three years later, he is still doing his job. Helping Situ Mu is also helping Hanxi. Situ Bi is undoubtedly Situ Xi's biggest backing and support, if this backing collapses, it will be much easier for Hanxi to seek revenge if Zhao Situ Xi wants to seek revenge. Therefore, Tang Buzhen tried his best to help Situ Mu, and he was also paving the way for Hanxi's revenge.

Although I don't know when she will come back, at least when she comes back, he has already helped her solve a big problem, which is good. With such a thought, it can also support Tang Bujing to wait and go on step by step. (To be continued......)
