When Yuying returned to the Shulan Palace, she found that the four masters guarding outside the palace had changed, including the young man with sword eyebrows.

The young man with the sword eyebrows thought about where Yuying had gone just now, why she always carried a package with a knife on her back, and the package must have been Qin inside.

The young man with the sword eyebrows bowed and said, "Princess, Li Lingzhi and the three brothers are responsible for protecting the princess, and if the princess has any orders in the future, just say it." ”

Yuying understood that the emperor was concerned about his own safety, and it seemed that the emperor had sent Li to lead the way to Shulan Hall to investigate.

Yuying smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Ling Li trusted you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted you with such an important task." ”

The young man with sword eyebrows already had some conjectures in his heart, because Li Ling repeatedly told him to protect the princess.

"Please rest assured, the princess will do everything in my power to protect the princess."

"Well, when I go out to run errands in the future, you follow me."

"I understand below."

When Yuying walked into the bedroom and saw that the poisonous food on the table was gone, it must have been Li Lingtou who disposed of the poisonous food.

After putting down the package and the full moon scimitar, Yuying sat on the bed and pondered.

Gao Ping has fled the palace, and he will not return to the palace in the near future, and he can't be helpless in the palace, he must act.

Thinking that the emperor was likely to be his mother's son, Yuying suddenly woke up.

Did the mother find out that the emperor was her own son, so she secretly investigated the queen mother, so the mother was killed.

However, it is difficult to find clues by himself, and with the ruthlessness of the Queen Mother, he must have killed everyone who knew about it back then.

Yuying frowned and clenched her fists, would anyone in the palace know about what happened back then?

Suddenly, Yuying thought of the young man with the sword eyebrows, he was a master of Ouchi, maybe he would know where in the palace someone would know about the past.

Yuying perked up, picked up the package, picked up the full moon scimitar and put it on her waist, and strode out of the bedroom.

When Yuying walked through the hall and walked to the outside of the Shulan Palace, she glanced at the sword-eyed youth.

After the young man with sword eyebrows instructed the three masters, he followed Yuying to the back of the Shulan Palace.

"What does the princess command?"

"Do you know of anyone in the palace who might know what happened before?"

The young man with sword eyebrows was stunned, thinking that the old past was taboo in the palace, what did Yuying want to investigate.

Seeing that the young man with sword eyebrows was a little hesitant, Yuying understood that he was embarrassed.

"If the princess doesn't tell what the reason is, how do you know what you want to find out?"

"Since you're embarrassed, go back."

As soon as the young man with sword eyebrows wanted to protect Princess Xuanying, it was important for Li to lead him and say that the emperor loved Princess Xuanying very much.

"Princess, I know that there is a place where someone will know what happened before."

Yuying asked eagerly, "Where?" ”

"Although I have only been a master in the palace for a year, I still heard that there is a concubine Yu who is still alive in the cold palace of the palace."

"Let's go, let's go to the cold palace and have a look."

The sword-eyed young man grinned, he didn't want to go, but he understood that protecting the princess was the top priority.

With the young man of Jianmei leading the way in front, Yuying followed him in the direction of the cold palace.

Maybe Concubine Yu knew what happened to her mother before her death, although the words of the concubine cannot be used as evidence, but as long as she knows that the emperor is her son.

Yuying frowned, thinking about how the Queen Mother would let anyone know the truth go.

Concubine Yu is a concubine of the former dynasty, and she must have experienced many things, and she has the ability to survive.

Suddenly, Yuying thought that the Queen Mother would definitely send someone to follow her in the dark, and she couldn't just care about finding out the truth and kill Concubine Yu.

Yuying stopped, turned to look, and saw that there was no one around, Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, but knew that she couldn't be negligent.

The young man with sword eyebrows understood that Yuying was worried that someone was following him, and he didn't know what Yuying was going to investigate, so he was so cautious.

"Princess, keep an eye on whether anyone is following you behind you, princess, don't worry, no one is following."

"Well, let's go."

……

Yuying and Jianmei walked on the road that became more and more desolate, and there were hardly anyone to see along the way.

Why did she put Concubine Yu in the cold palace, was it because of any mistakes she had made, or because of the queen mother's domineering.

Suddenly, the field of vision widened to a large but desolate palace in front of me.

Yuying walked a few steps briskly and came to the front of the palace. There is not even a palace maid here, and there is no gatekeeper.

Walking into the courtyard of the palace, overgrown with weeds and cobwebs everywhere, it has not been cleaned for a long time.

Could it be that Concubine Yu lives here?

Yuying felt sour in her heart, she returned to the palace but never saw her mother again, and it was difficult for her to avenge her mother, but she would do her best to find out the truth.

What makes Yuying feel excited is that the emperor may be the son of his mother, and if he finds evidence, the emperor will avenge his mother with him.

Yuying saw that the entire palace was in ruins, but the palace gate was hidden, and wondered how Concubine Yu survived in the harsh environment.

"Does Concubine Yu live here? How is it so desolate. ”

"The cold palace is like this, life and death are fate."

"You are guarding outside the palace, and I will go in and see Concubine Yu."

The young man with the sword eyebrows walked outside the courtyard and guarded, thinking in his heart that Yuying was so bold, and this cold palace was terrifying to look at.

Yuying walked towards the hall, and suddenly a woman with a disheveled hair ran out of the hall, Yuying was taken aback, could it be that she was Concubine Yu.

I saw Concubine Yu smirking and said madly: "Concubine Shu, you came to see me, I didn't expect you to be dead!" ”

Yuying was stunned for a moment, but then realized that maybe because she looked like her mother, Concubine Yu mistook herself.

Suddenly, Yuying thought that she was a woman dressed as a man, although she looked very much like her mother, Concubine Yu should be confused, maybe she was crazy.

"Concubine, do you know my mother?"

Concubine Yu seemed to understand that she had recognized the wrong person, so she quickly shook her head, hurriedly turned around and ran into the hall.

Yuying hurriedly followed into the hall.

Concubine Yu curled up in the corner, her unkempt gray hair obscuring her face. Perhaps because she had just recognized the wrong person, she pulled her hair back.

She looked at Yuying carefully, and there was some fear in her eyes, because when she saw the full moon scimitar that Yuying was wearing, suddenly Concubine Yu shook her head.

Concubine Yu said in a trembling voice: "You are not Concubine Shu, who are you?" It was Empress Dowager Mu who sent you to pretend to be a concubine. ”

Yuying found that Concubine Yu was not crazy at all, she was pretending to be crazy and stupid, she spoke clearly, but why was Concubine Yu afraid of the Queen Mother.

Does she still have any grievances with the Queen Mother? Maybe it was Concubine Yu who pretended to be crazy and stupid to live to this day.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not the Empress Dowager's person."

Yuying walked over to help Concubine Yu up, her body trembled, her eyes were fixed on Yuying's face, and suddenly she pinched Yuying's face with her hand.

Yuying endured the pain, did not speak, and helped Concubine Yu to the chair.

Suddenly, Concubine Yu spoke: "I'm sorry for pinching you, but who are you?" ”

"I'm Xuan Ying, and my mother is Concubine Niangniang."

Concubine Yu was taken aback, her eyes showed disbelief, and suddenly she messed up her hair again and began to giggle again.

Yuying realized that Concubine Yu was trying to escape, maybe she thought she would ask about her mother.

It seems that she has to let Concubine Yu know that she will not harm her, and she will not affect her.

"Concubine Yu, your hair is unkempt, I'll comb your hair. Let's go, let's go to the bedroom. ”

After listening to Yuying's words, Concubine Yu didn't giggle anymore, and she didn't have a strong sense of resistance, just looked at Yuying silently.

Yuying helped Concubine Yu to the bedroom and asked her to sit in front of the dresser.

When Concubine Yu saw herself in the bronze mirror, she sighed that she was getting old, and she was living like a year in the cold palace, and life was worse than death.

Yuying picked up the wooden comb and gently combed Concubine Yu's hair, thinking that if her mother was still alive, she would also comb her mother's hair, and the sour mood made Yuying unconsciously shed tears.

Tears fell on Concubine Yu's hair, and she turned to see the tears in Yuying's eyes.

Yuying hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, I think of my mother, although I returned to the palace by myself, I will never see my mother again." ”

"Lovely child."

Concubine Yu stood up and wiped the tears from Yuying's face with her sleeve. Yuying felt that Concubine Yu at this time was like a loving mother.

"Xuan Ying, you have grown so big, and you are becoming more and more like your mother."

"I know that the Queen Mother killed my mother, but I can't kill the Queen Mother Mu to avenge my mother for the time being."

Concubine Yu was shocked, and then she sighed and said, "Xuan Ying, if you want to take revenge, you have to bring down Empress Dowager Mu first, otherwise you have no other better way, but it is not easy to bring her down." ”

Concubine Yu's words suddenly woke up Yuying, yes, with the stable position of the Empress Dowager Mu, it is not easy for her to take revenge. Although the emperor may be his mother's son, it is all his own speculation.

"Concubine Yu, in addition to the emperor's protection, who else supports Empress Dowager Mu?"

"The reason why Empress Dowager Mu is in the palace is because of her younger brother Mrs. Mu. Mu Taiwei held heavy troops and tried his best to protect the emperor's ascension to the throne, so Mu Taiwei was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes. ”

Although Concubine Yu didn't say it explicitly, Yuying understood what she meant, if she wanted to bring down the Queen Mother first, she had to bring down Mrs. Mu first.

Yuying frowned, it was even more difficult to bring down Captain Mu, and she had to think about it in the long run.

"Concubine Yu, I just want to know if my mother has ever given birth to a son."

Concubine Yu wondered why Xuan Ying asked this, and she felt that there was a mystery in it.

"No, but I remember that your mother was pregnant with a child back then, but it seems that the child died prematurely."

Yuying clenched her fists, it must have been the Queen Mother who secretly stole her mother's newborn son by trickery.

Suddenly, Yuying saw some pastries on the table in the bedroom, and Yuying understood that someone must have come to the cold palace to bring food to Concubine Yu.

"Concubine Yu, who sent the pastries on the table?"

"Oh, the palace maid sent it."

Yuying noticed that Concubine Yu's eyes were wandering when she spoke, and she understood that she must have lied.

"Since you like pastries, I'll make them for you tomorrow, and I'll come to see you with them."

Concubine Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Xuan Ying." ”

"Concubine Yu, I'll finish combing your hair before leaving."

When Yuying combed Concubine Yu's hair, she said goodbye to Concubine Yu.

"Xuan Ying, you are a smart child, you will know how to avenge your mother, but remember not to be in a hurry."

"Well, Xuan Ying understands."

Concubine Yu sent Yuying outside the hall, looked at Yuying's departing figure, and thought about what would happen even if she didn't live tomorrow.

"Empress Dowager Mu, you are waiting for Xuan Ying's revenge!"
