Dayi, hidden mountain mausoleum.

The moon and stars outside are scarce, and the inside of the tomb is gloomy and mysterious.

Gu Yunyao was lying on the futon with black edges on a white background, listless.

Early in the morning, she and several high-ranking palace concubines got into the carriage of Xuanqing, followed the funeral procession that stretched for four or five miles out of the imperial city, all the way to the hidden mountain.

He was accompanied by the convoy of Ann and the eldest princess.

On the yellow earth, thick wooden wheels are twisted into ruts.

Gu Yunyao had been swaying in the car all day, and it was nearly dusk when she arrived at her destination.

How could a woman who had not gone out for a long time ever suffered such fatigue, and when she entered the palace to guard the spirit of the emperor, she was physically and mentally tired and exhausted, and the spirit of the person had long been gone.

The hour should not be early, and the wind that continues to pour in outside the palace is even colder, blowing the curtain and prayer flags "rustling".

Gu Yunyao frowned and looked at the ever-bright lantern that was confused by the flames, and she didn't even have the strength to sigh.

A few slender black shadows slanted over the damp and cold floor tiles, and it was the eunuch in charge of the cemetery who brought people over and arranged for the concubines to go to the house to rest.

On the 7749th day of the vigil, the concubines will live in the garden of the cemetery for a while.

Out of the palace and going to the Shinto, Gu Yunyao instructed Songqin to raise the lantern and watch it from a distance.

I saw the mountains surrounded by green mountains and the terrain stretched, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:

Only then did he get out of one cage, and then he was trapped in another cage. Cage cage cage, when is the head?

The old eunuch led the way and placed several concubines in a courtyard lined with high walls.

Compared with the palace where the coffin of the emperor and queen is placed, this courtyard is more lively.

Even at this time, at night, the candle that can see the pity of the stars when the door is pushed open, it is difficult for people to feel the slightest bit of obscurity and corruption.

A master is paired with a maid, and the room is quickly assigned.

Gu Yunyao and Song Qin lived in the same room before they put down their salutes, and the person in charge brought someone to bring her master and servant brand-new bedding.

When it was over, the eunuch in charge stood at the door, with a slight respectful smile on his yellow face, and nodded his head and instructed:

"Master Taifei, this mountain is not as good as other places, and it is still very cold at night. The slave added more beds and quilts to the master, so as not to catch a cold at night. Also, this mausoleum up and down, inside and outside can be hidden locks, the master can not walk around on weekdays, just the house to the palace, the palace to the house, two points and one line there is no other way. ”

Gu Yunyao listened to this, her heart was cold, and her hands involuntarily pressed the wrapped Su Yu, and said calmly:

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, this hidden mountain mausoleum is where the commander of Dongchang quelled the rebellious party and arrested the culprit of the palace dummy......"

"Shh

The old eunuch's face changed greatly, his expression was extremely nervous, and he waved his hands endlessly:

"Oh, I said Ancestor, don't you dare to mention that matter, it's all taboo in the palace. Come on, it's not early, so you can rest steadily, and you'll be busy tomorrow morning. ”

"There is Father-in-law."

Gu Yunyao saw the old eunuch take people to another room to deliver the bedding step by step, so he ordered Song Qin to close the door of the room.

Unlike in the palace, the cemetery is not keyed at night.

There was nothing but dead men and stone statues, and cold, high walls.

It was a great honor to keep a vigil for the royal family for thousands of years, and they didn't worry at all that someone would run away. What's more, the Shinto and mountain roads are heavily guarded, and it is difficult for birds with wings to fly out.

Gu Yunyao and Song Qin were lying on the same pit, talking about Leng Qingtang and Yunxi worriedly, and then talking about Zhao An, who stayed in the palace.

In the middle of the night, the wind outside the house became tighter and tighter, and the window lattice paper "swished, swished" non-stop.

The master and servant were tired all day, and now they are also very tired. While he was chattering, there was a slight knock at the door.

Song Qin immediately came to his senses, sat up straight, and comforted his master in the dark, before turning his frightened eyes to the door, listened cautiously, and asked one by one:

"Who!"

"Don't hold the lamp, it's me, South China Qiang."

The master and servant of the house looked astonished.

Hua Nanqiang, isn't this the name of the boudoir of Princess An and the eldest princess?

"Hurry up and open the door."

Gu Yunyao knew that something urgent was happening, so she drove Song Qin to open the door, got out of bed with her clothes on, and hurriedly stepped on her embroidered shoes.

The door opened, and two slender black shadows followed the Qingming moonlight into the room one after another.

casually dropped the wide hat with a black cloak, revealing the simple and gentle face of Princess An He.

The person next to her was the dead soldier of the Udanguo who escorted her.

"The Eldest Princess......"

Gu Yunyao bent her knees and was about to kneel, and she was extremely grateful to this eldest sister for fighting with Concubine Xiao to save her life.

"No need to be polite."

An and the eldest princess helped the woman to get up, her expression was solemn, and she went directly to the topic without much greeting:

"You're going to go with Hongu tonight!"

Gu Yunyao was shocked:

"Eldest princess, is something wrong?"

An He's expression was silent, staring at the panic and confusion on the woman's face, and the bottom of his eyes broke through the two rays.

She shook her head slowly, and said firmly:

"You can't be in the palace anymore, wherever you go. If you stay in the palace, King Chen will use you as a hostage to force Leng Qingtang and Yunxi to submit. ”

Gu Yunyao sat down on the chair with a slump of body, her stunned expression improved, she stood up again, and asked:

"Listen to the meaning of the eldest princess, everything is okay with Lord Leng and Yunxi outside?"

The eldest princess An and the eldest princess paced a few steps, her eyes were quenched, and she sneered:

"Xiao's mother and son have exhausted their calculations, thinking that they can easily solve Leng Qingtang outside, it's just a fool's dream. With this palace here, they will not be allowed to succeed in their scheme.

But now that Yunxi has gone to Weihai, the palace thinks that even if Leng Qingtang escapes, he will go to Weihai to join him for Yunxi, so that King Chen will get the news sooner or later. Once Dongchang takes the lead in opening the underground palace, King Chen will inevitably use you as a hostage to coerce the two of them. ”

After saying it in one breath, Ann and the eldest princess turned her eyes to look at the dead man.

Without saying a word, the dead man handed the package in his arms to Songqin.

An He went on to explain:

"These are two sets of clothes for the chamberlain, you can change them later. At this time, the vehicle transporting sesame oil and coal was parked outside the hospital, and it took half an hour to unload the truck, and the time was completely in time. You change your clothes and blend into the escort team and go down the mountain, and the people from the palace will meet you at the Baiyu Bridge on the Hu'an River. ”

"This ......"

Fleeing is not a trivial matter, and it is the first time for a woman who has adhered to the old rules.

Gu Yunyao raised her eyebrows, extremely hesitant.

Ann and the eldest princess held her hand, and the words of consolation were filled with unconcealed anxiety:

"Don't be afraid, don't hesitate. The situation is critical, and you don't want to see your sisters who are good friends affected by you, do you? Since this palace has saved your life, this matter must not be abandoned halfway, and it must be taken care of to the end. ”

The gongs and drums outside the courtyard sounded three times, and the dead man was expressionless, and he reminded him:

"Master, it's time to go back."

An He nodded at him, turned his face and told Gu Yunyao carefully:

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. As soon as you leave the capital, the people in this palace will protect you and the two of you, and then make long-term plans after the matter is settled. ”

Gently pushing the door, the dead man led the way, leading An and the eldest princess to leave the hospital lightly.

Song Qin locked the door and was about to change Gu Yunyao's clothes.

The woman's eyes flashed with tears, and she sat on the chair with a sad brow, and her body did not move for a moment:

"Songqin, you and I are uncertain about the return date, leaving Zhao An alone in the palace, how can the palace rest assured. He castrated himself to the palace for me, but now I want to abandon him......"

"This ......"

Songqin stomped her feet, and she had no idea for a while.

Many things in the world are involved in the whole body. It's easy to say everything, but when you really want to do it in front of you, you are often far from being able to speak freely.

Song Qin stared at the clothes in the package and thought about it, gritted her teeth and said:

"Master, we don't have a choice now. Just now, the eldest princess made it clear that if we don't leave, we have to go, if Gonggong Zhao learns the truth, he will not complain about the master. ”

Gu Yunyao nodded, tears rolling down:

"Yes, he supports everything I do, I have no regrets, I owe him all my life."

Song Qin's eyes were wet and red at this time, she wiped her face and sniffed, and comforted her and said:

"What is the master talking about, how do you know that he didn't owe you in his last life, and he has paid it back in this life?"

Gu Yunyao smiled sadly:

"What you say is reasonable, he owes me, I owe him, life and life are entangled, this is calamity, and it is fate. Let's change our clothes. ”

A chaotic sound of footsteps fell into the courtyard, and the fire stopped in front of Gu Yunyao's door, and the soft voice sounded a little unfamiliar:

"Concubine Yu, the slave is from the palace. News came out from the Duanben Palace, the seventh prince suffered from dysentery and unbearable abdominal pain, crying to see Concubine Yu, and the slave took the concubine and the ancestor at the behest of King Chen, and you returned to the palace immediately. ”

——

The night is sultry, and the lights in the Qinming Hall are sparse.

King Chen was dressed in a royal blue tuanhua gold-threaded robe, with a ribbon loosely tied around his waist, and concentrated on painting in front of the dragon case.

The woman in the painting has a slender and graceful figure, a youthful and delicate appearance, looking forward to life, not the clouds and tides he misses in the morning and twilight, who can it be?

After dyeing the last touch of pink on the hairpin, King Chen raised his pen and tilted his head to look at the person in the painting, and the corners of his lips hooked a wanton smile.

"Cloud and Tide ......"

He called in a whisper, his eyes affectionate and misty, and slowly bent down to kiss the girl's sparkling lips in the portrait.

Eunuch Rong entered the hall with a whisk in his hand, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and bowed his head, and stopped:

"Lord Qiqi, Concubine Yu Min has returned to the palace."

King Chen straightened up, Jun Fang's face had the same expression as usual, he only looked at the eunuch, and smiled slightly:

"Do a good job, this king knows that the imperial aunt must not be willing to be lonely, and she will always have some trouble behind her back!"

Shaking off the brush vigorously, King Chen asked again:

"Have you found Zorohua's whereabouts?"

The eunuch's expression changed slightly, he didn't dare to hide anything, and bowed closer to the ground:

"Back to the prince, I haven't found it now."

"Humph!"

King Chen was displeased, and said with his hand:

"The eunuch who made the decree has not heard from him yet, and this king has to stay behind. If the Admiral of Dongchang was really rescued by the king's senior brother and detained Concubine Yu in the palace, the king would not believe that she Gu Yunxi would not come back. ”

"The prince is wise," Eunuch Rong took the opportunity to make a big fuss:

"As long as Miss Yun returns to Beijing, Leng Qingtang will definitely come back with her, and then the prince will be able to catch turtles in an urn......"

"Hahahaha!"

King Chen couldn't help but think about it, and Lezizi pointed to the picture of the beauty on the table:

"Give this painting to the best craftsman of the Shang Gong Bureau, and let her frame it properly."

"Yes, the minion is going, this is going."

Eunuch Rong put the dust on his waist seal, smiled and came to the dragon case, holding the painting with both hands and not forgetting to flatter his master:

"Oh, this girl is handsome... In the end, it is a good ...... for you to draw."

"Don't talk nonsense, give this king a quick return!"

King Chen kicked the eunuch's ass and laughed heartily.
