Chapter 36 Return to the palace to face the saint

Qingli took over and said, "She will become a crucial chess piece in the future." "So, the most important thing at the moment is to investigate her identity, and then he will lay it out.

"I know, I will give you an answer to this matter, you rest early, I will arrange someone to change Qingyuan's appearance early tomorrow morning, be careful after you enter the palace!"

After explaining this, Shenghua went out and called in Nanshu, who was guarding the door, and said a few words before leaving.

Sending Sheng Hua away, Qingli lay down with his arm, Nanshu changed a basin of clean water, wrung out the handkerchief and walked to the bed: "Childe, then I'll stay here tomorrow and wait for you?" ”

Qing Li closed his eyes and said "um", Nanshu unfolded the handkerchief and wiped his face: "Will the emperor embarrass you?" ”

"I don't know." The two short words plunged the room into silence, and he hurriedly wiped him clean, Nanshu went to the outer room with his own bedding and put it on the hibiscus couch.

Compared to Qingyuan's dreamless sleep until dawn, Qingli has not slept almost all night, he has never slept well for more than ten years, as long as he closes his eyes, his mother's face will appear in front of him, like a nightmare that has lasted for many years, never stopped.

And the root of this nightmare is his so-called father and Qingyuan's mother. Why did Concubine Ning die, the results of the investigation over the years said that she died in the harem/palace to compete for the favor of the Qing Emperor, but he didn't fully believe it, a woman in the deep palace can capture the holy favor for a long time, and the weight of scheming can be seen, how could such a woman die lightly in the hands of other women?

Over the years, as an elderly prince, it was inconvenient for him to stay in the deep palace, and the Qing Emperor ordered to buy a mansion for him outside the palace, and sent him out of the palace, but it also provided convenience for him to expand his contacts, and he was weaving a huge net step by step, waiting for the opportunity that was about to appear.

The people arranged by Shenghua waited outside Qingyuan's house very early, and when he woke up, he began to help him change his appearance, and after cleaning up, Qingyuan went downstairs in the appearance of Nanshu, Qingli's carriage had stopped outside Lanyuezhai early, he opened the curtain and entered, and Qingli, who was hugging the futon and eating in the carriage, raised his head, and his slightly dull face came into his eyes: "Didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Qingli put the bowl in his hand on the low table, raised his hand to serve a bowl for him, and then reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "I was too tired a few days ago, and last night's rest was not enough to recover my vitality, so I looked quite haggard, don't blame the third brother!" ”

"When I enter the palace safely and see my father, you can go back and rest early!" Qing Yuan unceremoniously picked up the bowl and drank the rice porridge with a spoon, and Qing left to thank him and only responded lightly, without saying more.

The two got into the car, and the coachman arranged by Shenghua drove the carriage slowly towards the palace gate, and after a while, the carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Qingyuan, who had a meal, also ended his breakfast, and the palace gate guard saw that it was Shenghua's carriage, and did not do much review, but just picked up the curtain with a sword and looked inside, and saw that Qingli was sitting in the car, so he put down the curtain and ordered others to let him go, and the trip to the palace easily made Qingyuan a little suspicious.

The carriage walked on the path between the palace walls, and the palace maids and palace attendants who passed by stopped to salute, and after the carriage passed, the palace maids could be vaguely heard whispering:

"It looks like the Six Princes are back! I haven't seen him in years! ”

"How do you know it's the sixth master! Shouldn't you think that the sixth master wants to go crazy? ”

This was followed by a burst of women's laughter and scolding: "What do you say! I see that every time the six princes come back, they take this carriage! ”

Carriage?

Could it be that there is another mystery to this carriage?

"Sixth brother, I just heard from the palace maid outside the car, you take this carriage every time you go back to the palace, but what is the reason?" Qingyuan asked.

Qing Li hugged the futon, lowered his eyelids, the carriage was quiet as if he was asleep, Qing Yuan raised his tone and asked again, and saw Qing Li's originally closed eyes slowly opened, and the bloodshot in his eyes was deeper than what he saw this morning, and said to him apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I was lost for a moment just now, what did the third brother say?" ”

Qingyuan twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisibly: "I'm asking you, I passed by the palace wall just now, and I heard the palace maid outside say that you take this carriage every time you enter the palace, what is the reason?" ”

"Oh, the third brother is asking this!" Qingli nodded as if he suddenly realized: "This car is specially built by Shenghua, the wheels have undergone special treatment, and the bumps can be minimized during the journey, and I am addicted to sitting once, no, take the third brother back to the palace today, and borrow it to enjoy it again, this is still stained with the light of the third brother, and that guy in Shenghua is unwilling to lend it to me!" ”

Qingyuan was clear, no longer asked anything else, he lifted the curtain and looked out of the window, the vermilion palace wall stretched endlessly, as far as the eye could see was the bright yellow glazed tiles and the vermilion palace wall like rouge stained blood, the scene in front of him gradually overlapped with the picture in his memory, and a sense of amazement came to his heart: "When my father sent me out of the palace, I swore that one day, I would come back here again, and now, I am really back!" ”

His words fell into Qingli's ears, Qingli didn't answer, and his lips hidden under the futon quietly opened up a little arc, right? I swore the same way at the beginning, since I came back, I will definitely pay for those people's blood debts, and the source of the nightmare of my life, I will slowly, little by little, corrode it, remove it, Qingyuan, I hope you have really learned the ability over the years, and you can play with me for a few more days.

The horse pulling the carriage neighed in a low voice, the carriage stopped, the coachman jumped down, and said respectfully to the two behind the curtain: "Concubine Rou's bedroom has arrived, please get off the carriage!" ”

Qingyuan couldn't help jumping out of the car first, straightening his wrinkled clothes, and then Qingli also got out of the car, and the coachman gestured to them, jumped into the car and drove the carriage to wait at the corner gate next to the palace.

"Childe, let's come here to see the emperor?" Qing Yuan, who was dressed as Nanshu, asked suspiciously, Qing Li nodded, stepped forward before him and knocked on the door knocker a few times.

After a few crisp sounds, the voice of the palace maid came from inside the palace gate: "Who is coming?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Qingli said, "Please ask Aunt Xuemei to go in and tell your father, Concubine Rou, Qingli asks to see you!" ”

A burst of footsteps gradually faded away, and after a while, the palace door slowly opened, and a delicate woman dressed in palace clothes stood on the steps, Qingli took Qingyuan across the threshold, came to the woman, and bowed: "Roufei Niangniang is blessed and healthy!" ”
