The Empress Dowager Xiaoren smiled and nodded, Yu Jie's heart was a little tasteful, in the end, she was more happy, and happily got on the sedan chair one by one, and she had already calculated in her heart, what clothes to wear tonight, and what jewelry to wear, so as to attract the emperor's attention.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will go with you." Queen Yue Biluo did not get on the sedan chair, and suddenly offered to go along.

Xuan Lin wanted to refuse, glanced at it inadvertently, and found that she wanted to speak and stopped, and faintly felt that there was a situation in her heart, so she immediately agreed, and then the emperor and queen got into the carriage together, and when the sedan curtain was lowered, the carriage slowly rolled up, and Yuebi got up and knelt in front of him.

"The concubine has paid the emperor's trust, please ask the emperor to punish the crime."

His heart chuckled, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”

Yue Biluo immediately stopped hiding it, told the incident through 1510, and finally grabbed the man's knee: "Fortunately, the adults and children are safe, otherwise, the concubine will not be able to withstand the death." ”

"Okay, how could there be a fire? Have you checked it? The man's face was gloomy, and there was a terrible aura emanating from the car.

The woman seemed stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, is this a suspicion that someone deliberately set fire?" But everyone always thought that the wind blew down the candle and caused the fire. ”

"Maybe." Xuan Xiaoli finally eased his expression, and leaned over to help her: "You have also worked hard, get up." ”

"Emperor Xie is not to blame." Yuebiluo's expression was relieved, she got up, and sat next to him, enjoying a rare time of intimacy.

After a while, the carriage traveled to Andingmen, and then inside is the inner city of the palace, except for the queen mother and the emperor's carriage, any vehicles and horses can not enter, if it is usual, even if it is respected as the Son of Heaven, Xuan Lonely will also get off the car and move forward, now I can't wait to see her immediately, it is to move forward with the carriage, which means that all the way to the outside of the Guansui Palace.

Xuan Lonely couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage and run in.

Behind him, Yuebi got out of the car with Li Liancheng's support, looked at his anxious back, the sadness in his eyes flashed, and he followed in.

The moment she entered the room, Xuan Lili stopped Xiuzhu and Su Yun's exclamations with gestures, deliberately slowed down, and walked in lightly, through the hugging house, and then through the six-sided hanging flower door, which was her dormitory.

In broad daylight, all the windows were tightly closed, and Bisha blocked the sunlight and light out, and he stood for a while to get used to the darkness of the room, and when he saw the woman lying flat on the bed, her belly bulging a little, he couldn't help but run over.

"Lonely, is that you?" Dou Lianyi was lying in bed all day long, how could there be so much sleepiness, but he just closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the movement, he saw a man in his usual clothes when he opened his eyes slightly, and he was still a little unsure.

Xuan Lin took a step forward, leaned down to hold her hand, and used a little force to show that he was saving: "Yes, I'm back." ”

"Si'er thought she would never see you again." His eyes lit up, Dou Lianyi burst out a sentence, and what happened came to his eyes again, and his throat was so choked that he couldn't speak.

This sentence can only be said by people who have experienced the threshold of life and death, and in the midst of heartache, he sat at the head of the bed, took the woman into the crook of his arm, and muttered comfort: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The light and shadow at the door flickered, and a pair of jade lotuses seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally turned around, and quietly retreated.

The pair inside looked at each other, unaware, and continued to pour out the joy of lovesickness and reunion after parting, until a reminder sounded outside: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks you to move to Cining Palace and chat with the Queen Mother." ”

"Look at me, patronizing myself, I forgot that the Queen Mother still has sisters waiting to see you, go quickly." Dou Lianyi said this, but he was holding his hand but he was unwilling to let go.

She seems to have changed and become clingy, which shows that this incident has hit her hard.

"Rest well, I'll come over to accompany you in the evening." Xuan Lili pulled out his hand ruthlessly and hugged her comfortingly, and then under the reluctant gaze of the woman, he turned back and left step by step.

The emperor's sedan chair was waiting outside, Li Liancheng stood beside him, saw him come out, and hurriedly grabbed a step to serve Xuan Lin and got off the sedan chair, and the sedan chair was steadily lifted by eight sedan chair drivers.

"You go, let the old ghost check it."

Li Liancheng suddenly heard this sentence and was stunned, and the man slapped the sedan chair pole, and the eight sedan chairs went away, leaving him for a long time to come back to his senses, and his footsteps turned and rushed in the opposite direction.

After the Imperial Garden, and then go to the west, it is sparsely populated, overgrown with weeds, and incompatible with the carved beams and paintings elsewhere in the palace, except for the old people in the palace, I am afraid no one knows such a place.

walked all the way to the westernmost point, and a low thatched house appeared in front of her, and Li Liancheng walked into it by herself.

Let's just be a house, there are no windows in the house, but there is plenty of light, because countless rays of light penetrate through the cracks in the thatch, and if it is winter, there will be a north wind along with it.

At the door is an earthen stove, the fire is waving out from the air outlet, and the hot steam comes out from under the lid of the pot, Li Liancheng went up to open the lid, "Dog meat stewed radish, old ghost, you will enjoy it." ”

The pile of dry grass in the corner moved, and the person called the old ghost turned over: "Old man, you are not waiting by the emperor's side, what are you doing here?" ”

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace."

Li Liancheng turned around, and his face was already stern.

The man sat up and sighed, "The quiet days of the old ghost are only afraid that they will be broken." ”

"You won't know about a fire in the palace not long ago, the emperor wants the truth, and after finding out, you can still live your quiet life, and no one will come to disturb you."

The old ghost snorted: "The battle in the harem is endless, if the old ghost wades into this troubled water, it is not certain whether he can return to tranquility." ”

"Are you not going to say yes?" Li Liancheng's face sank.

The man stood up, dragged his stump and limped to the stove, "What's the hurry, you have to eat this pot of dog meat before you go, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't die in the future." ”

"Okay, the sprinkler family won't affect you to eat dog meat, so let's get back." When the words landed, Li Liancheng had already left the thatched house.

It was night, and a candle flame lit up in the ruins of the cold palace, and the candle flame reflected a ghostly face, and a pair of eagle-like eyes burst out with sharp light in the darkness.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the root of the broken wall, and the old ghost walked over unhurriedly, squatted down and lay down with his hands, picked up the soil and put it under his nose and smelled it, and he smelled the smell of sulfur.

Picked up an unburned half-section of wooden stake and pulled it up in a mess, seemingly out of order, only he knew that several locations were the places where the murderer passed that night, and it was very likely to leave clues.

After about an hour, seeing that the suspicious places were screened again, the candle was lit, the old ghost hooked his waist and picked up half a piece of wood, and held it above his head to look at the moonlight, and the handwriting was faintly visible, although it was not complete, it was enough to prove his identity.

"Hello."

He put half of the waist card in his bosom, blew out the candle flame again, and a figure ran towards the depths of the palace under the cover of night.

As soon as he walked to the Imperial Garden, a little eunuch came to him, and the old ghost couldn't help but look at it twice, it was really at this time, in this place, a person suddenly appeared, it was too unbelievable.

"Behind the rockery, someone summoned me."

The moment he passed by, the little eunuch dropped seven words.

It's over, it's in trouble after all, the old ghost sighed secretly, but his footsteps didn't stop turning to the rockery.

The moon is unknown tonight, the stars are scarce, but the luxurious temperament of the half-old woman makes the night impossible to hide.

"The old slave asked the Empress Dowager Xiaoren to say goodbye, and the Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose Chitose." When the old ghost saw it, he fell to the ground and bowed.

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth: "Crippled one leg, your movements are still so clean and neat, but the mourning family is thinking, if a person has two broken legs, can he still get up neatly?" ”

"The old slave is a royal person, and death is a royal ghost, not to mention two legs, even if you want the life of the old slave, you must not do it." Unexpectedly, the old ghost's face does not change color, and his heart does not beat.

The Queen Mother just snorted lightly and asked softly: "When the Empress Dowager De'an was still Concubine De'an, why didn't you speak so generously?" ”

The old ghost's awe-inspiring aura suddenly dissipated, and he sighed: "The old slave finally owes you, and I will return it to you today, may I ask the queen mother what the old slave do?" ”

Back then, the old ghost was the head of the palace punishment department, and he was known as the palace with three uniques, and was deeply trusted by the emperor and convinced by everyone.

One must be interrogated, and there is no prisoner who has been interrogated by him who has not confessed;

The second is to know people, and the cases he handles are all iron cases, and he has never been beaten into a trick;

The three absolute are justice, whether it is the royal relatives or the pan-husband pawns, they are all treated equally in his hands.

Because of this, when the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, who was still the concubine of the first emperor, was involved in a witch case, the emperor ordered the old ghost to investigate thoroughly, but the next day, he suddenly broke a leg, and excused himself with the inappropriate investigation during the treatment period, and finally, his apprentice took over the case, and the result was that the Empress Dowager Xiaoren was convicted and sent to the cold palace.

That leg was really broken by himself, and he exchanged one leg for more than 20 years to survive, otherwise, he was afraid that he would have died in the hands of the Empress Dowager De'an.

"The mourning family doesn't want to see the harem again, so let's end this matter." The noble half-old woman raised her eyes to look at the sky, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, the whole sky was like a huge black curtain, and a layer of worry could not help but well-rise in her eyes, "Who is she?" ”

The old ghost broke off a branch, wrote a word on the ground, and after the queen mother saw it clearly, she swept it back and forth with the branch, wiped it clean, and at the same time, it also erased the truth.

"Oh, man."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoren looked up to the sky and sighed, turned to leave, leaving him with a slightly tired back.

After Xuan Lili got a reply, he only asked, "Did he really say that?" ”

"Yes." Li Liancheng complied.

Xuan Lonely has nothing to say, since the old ghost said that it was a natural disaster, he has no reason not to believe it, and when he goes back, he must tell Guan Sui Palace to be careful, don't have any accidents.

The dust settled on the fire in the cold palace, and the days in the palace began to go down in a lively and orderly manner.
