Chapter 100 At the beginning of the third watch, by the empty pool

After Yun Fenghuang finished dressing up, he sat down for a while, and only then did the subordinates come to report, saying that the regent's father and son seemed to have the intention of retiring, but: "The empress dowager said that she hadn't seen the prince for a few days, so she left the prince to live in the palace." ”

"Stay?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Where do you live?" ”

Because as a palace concubine, it was not suitable to inquire about the residence of the little uncle, she added, "Don't let the queen of this palace go out and collide." ”

The little waiter said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the Queen Mother let the prince live in the Writing Cui Xuan at the foot of the Banzhu on the side of Changling, which is not only separated from us by Changling, but also separated from the empty pool at the door, and you can't bump into it." ”

Lanzhou night rain pavilion is built next to the pool, the shape is like the blue boat to prompt, so take the predecessor "Lanzhou straight into the empty mirror", the pond next to it is called the empty Ming Pool.

This pond covers a wide area and is the second largest body of water in the palace, second only to the Tsuru Ai Mizusawa in the back mountain.

Its shape is tortuous and meandering, with dense reeds growing on both sides, and high and low lotus leaves in the shallow water, and the bare water is extremely narrow and looks like a stream.

The Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion occupies only a small corner of it, and there are many pavilions along the coast. For example, the Awakening Hall of the Emperor's residence and the Limeng Water Pavilion where Lu Jieyu lived can be reached by water.

The long ridge that Xiao Nei said is just south of Kongming Pond, which is a mountain ridge built by artificial masonry, of course, it is not as high as the real mountain, strictly speaking, it is a narrow and long soil slope. The north slope is the side of Kongming Pond, where some apricot boxwood genera are planted, and the south slope is a fence with many vines and flowers.

Although there is a gap in the middle, there are people left to guard it, which is equivalent to the separation of the front and back of the palace.

In the bamboo forest called Banzhulu at the bottom of the southern slope, there are more than a dozen pavilions including Shui Cuixuan, all of which are for the unmarried princes and grandsons and favored courtiers to live.

So it sounds like it's not far away, but in fact, there are a lot of levels in the middle.

Yun Fenghuan thought about the direction in his heart, bowed his head slightly, let Nian Xuan reward him, and got up and took someone to Zhuxue Yuan to thank him.

She deliberately rubbed on the road for a while, and when she arrived at the gate of Dezhu Snow Garden, the banquet had dispersed, and the Empress Dowager went back early to rest, leaving only a steward in front to watch the palace people clean up the mess.

I heard that Mao Jieyu was coming, so I came out to ask about it.

Knowing that he had come specifically to thank him, and that he had already sent someone to do so before, it was only because of the presence of the Prince Regent and his son that it had dragged it out until this moment, so the steward went in to ask for instructions.

It didn't take long to come out and apologize that the Empress Dowager had already fallen asleep, so it was not good to disturb, so please go back first and wait for them to tell tomorrow.

Of course, Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to disturb the "already settled" Empress Dowager, although he clearly saw that there were still people inside, who were busy preparing for the Empress Dowager, and expressed his respect for the Empress Dowager to the steward, and left.

She also went to the three places of Empress Dowager Ji, Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Qu, of course, without exception, they all ate closed-door soup, and they were all in charge of things and perfunctory.

After such a toss, it was already very late when I returned to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion.

Yun Fenghuang said that he had worked hard for everyone today, and asked them to settle themselves, and was about to freshen up alone, but Nian Xuan followed.

"What's wrong?" She was still thinking about how to write Cui Xuan, and asked absentmindedly when she saw this.

didn't miss Xuan before she walked up to her and whispered: "Niangniang, just now at the gate of Zhuxueyuan, there was a little father-in-law who quietly mentioned Qi Gongzi to his maidservant. ”

"......," Yun Fenghuang paused, "And then?" ”

"Then I told the maid that at the beginning of the third watch, under the fifth willow tree in the southeast of Kongming Pond." Nian Xuan asked uneasily, "Niangniang, what does this mean?" ”

Yun Fenghuang was silent, and suddenly threw away the handkerchief he was wiping, with a cold face, and said, "What do you mean?" You didn't count what you did yourself?! ”

Nian Xuan was stunned, and wanted to speak, but Yun Fenghuang pointed at his nose and whispered, "This palace won't tell you now, you are here for this palace."

Here you can kneel and reflect! Don't get up without the instructions of the palace! ”

"Niangniang......" Nian Xuan wanted to defend, but Yun Fenghuan didn't give her this opportunity at all, so she went to find a futon in the room, and scolded her head and face with a scolding voice, and the scolded Nian Xuan trembled and didn't dare to make a sound, so she hummed: "Nian you serve the palace once, and put it on." Anyway, don't sleep tonight, kneel here and think about it, what's wrong?! ”

When he was done, he went back to the inner room.

Nian Xuan was confused, and she didn't dare to follow up and ask, so she could only bite her lip and kneel down on the futon, racking her brains to think about how to admit her mistake when Yun Fenghuan came out, so that this master could be angry?

And the cloud in the inner room began to pick up non-stop, and after what happened to Xile, she really didn't dare anyone to believe it now.

Therefore, after listening to Nian Xuan's words, he immediately suspected that it was a trap.

Otherwise, she is trying to find Gong Xiangxiao to inquire about the news, so she has such an opportunity to send it to the door?

If he wasn't really worried about Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuang would definitely not know, and would even send Nian Xuan to the emperor to dispose of to prove his innocence.

However, for the sake of Qi Jiulu, whether Nian Xuan is unreliable or Nian Xuan is reliable but the little chamberlain is unreliable, even if he takes a risk, he has to go on a trip, so he can only grieve Nian Xuan.

Yun Fenghuang thought about the back road he had prepared, Nian Xuan grew up with her since childhood, and was the only attendant who married into the palace. After this palace maid fell into the hands of the emperor before, she took a lot of effort to get it back, so it is not unreasonable to say that Nian Xuan and her are called master and servant, and they are really like sisters, inside and out.

At this time, I heard that Nian Xuan had made an appointment with someone to meet near the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion at night, she was angry and worried, but she was afraid that it would not be good for Nian Xuan after the trouble, so she asked Nian Xuan to kneel in the room to reflect and go to see the person who seduced Nian Xuan...... Well, why do you want to go into battle in person regardless of your identity, instead of letting the people under you come forward?

A dignified Jieyu, going out alone to see outsiders at night is really suspicious......

She paced back and forth in the inner room for a while, opened the window and turned out, sneaked into Nian Xuan's room next door, sneakily rummaged through the cabinets, and found a piece of Nian Xuan's shirt that she usually doesn't wear.

This kind of script should be fine, if this is a trap, just say that Nian Xuan is not sensible, and she has fallen into the hands of people, as a sister like a master, of course you can't let others come forward on your behalf, so where is Nian Xuan's face facing?

I can only go out in person.

And in the palace ban, it is estimated that the person who seduced Nian Xuan is also an internal servant, a fake phoenix, even if the palace concubine is not unable to meet the other party, if it is Gong Xiangxiao or other foreign men who are caught again, Yun Fenghuang is a big deal to continue to dump the Imperial City Division, how does she know that a foreign man with an intact body can actually enter the vicinity of the palace concubine's residence!?

This clearly shows that she is the waste of the Imperial City Division who is responsible for guarding the palace city, can you blame her!

She is also a victim!

Yun Fenghuang thought about the rhetoric several times and felt that there was no flaw, so he calmly put it on, of course, he didn't forget to put some sharp weapons and other self-defense things on himself.

Because who knows if it is a killer who will kill him if he doesn't agree with him......

After this was done, she quietly lit a stove of soothing incense, opened the door of the inner room a little, and found a small fan to face out silently.

Soon Nian Xuan, who was kneeling, became confused, and soon fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Yun Fenghuang knows the effect of this incense, it's hard to say if it's long, you can't wake up without pouring cold water within an hour, and the hour is close to the third watch, which is expected to be enough.

As for finding traces of tranquility incense afterwards, she was not afraid, she had just been frightened in the water of Chunbanshan Villa, and she was not allowed to light some incense in the inner room to help her sleep?

Thinking so, Yun Fenghuan snuffed out the remaining incense, quickly cleaned up the incense burner, and pretended that he had never done it just now

things, and went back through the window.

Their master and servant all lived on the third floor, and it was impossible not to take the stairs without alarming the others. Therefore, Yunfeng Huangte picked up a few shawls, tried the firmness, and hung them from the shady side to the surface of the empty pool. She deliberately chose a dark green short shirt and a crimson liuxian skirt to wear, which looked very hidden in the dark shadows of the night.

The water in the Kongming Pond near the shore was only knee-high, and although her skirt, shoes and socks were soaked, it did not prevent her from going ashore quickly.

After Yun Fenghuang came ashore, he did not take the nearest road to the agreed place, but went around in a circle from the opposite direction, chose a place where he could see the willow tree, and hid in the reeds near the shore to watch.

She carries a sachet to repel insects, and even on summer nights, she does not worry about encountering things that should not be encountered in the black-lit grass.

After a while, Yaoyao heard the sound of the third watch, and saw that the willow tree was still empty, and there was no trace of it.

Cloud Wind Fence Patience. The son waited a little longer, but no one came, and his heart sank.

She felt that she couldn't stay any longer, and she had to leave as soon as possible Who knew that she didn't turn around and walk a few steps, and she heard a man behind her cough that was not light or serious!

Yun Feng was shocked, and he didn't want to use a backhand to pass by!

"......" The person behind her grabbed her wrist speechlessly, "Mao Jieyu doesn't want to kill people?" ”

"The son of the world is so elusive, who can blame him?" Yun Fenghuang heard the voice of the person, only then did she relax, and noticed that Gong Xiangxiao also withdrew her hand, she put away the short knife with a cold face, and did not apologize, but blamed, "Big night, what does Shizi mean by this?" ”

Gong Xiangxiao snorted and said, "Didn't Jieyu go under the willow tree either?" ”

Without waiting for Yun Fenghuan to answer, he said, "This is not the place to talk, follow me!" ”

As he spoke, he walked into the depths of the reeds.

Yun Fenghuan hesitated, clenched the short knife in his hand, and then moved to follow.

Speaking of which, although the empty pond is on the bank of the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, there are many things in these days, and Yunfeng Huang has never visited it in person. At this time, he followed Gong Xiangxiao in the dense reeds, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time he turned a corner, and he muttered a little in his heart, and was hesitating whether to continue, but finally Gong Xiangxiao stopped and said, "It's here." ”

Stretching out his hand to remove a few reeds in front of him, he suddenly saw a light in front of him, it turned out that there was a vacant lot hidden in this reed bush somehow, paved with bluestone, and a stone table and stone bench were placed in the middle.

Gong Xiangxiao walked over and sat down with his robe first.

Yun Fenghuang quickly looked around, and saw no abnormality, so he retracted the short knife into his sleeve silently, slowly walked to the opposite and sat down, and asked straight to the point: "Why did he leave yesterday?" ”

"Why?" When Gong Xiangxiao heard this, he lowered his eyelids without smiling, and said in a strange manner, "This son of the world is about to ask Jieyu, and Jieyu comes to ask this son?!" ”

These words made Yun Fenghuang slightly stunned, and seeing that Gong Xiangxiao's resentful appearance did not seem to be fake, he frowned and said, "You don't know why he left?" Do you know where he went? ”

"Where to go? Hey...... Brother Xinyun came to the imperial capital to figure out why Jieyu knew it in her heart. Gong Xiangxiao sneered, "Since this goal is no longer possible, what is he staying for?" ”

He sneered, "Stay and see how Jieyu is favored by three thousand people, and she is promoted to the throne?" ”

Yun Fenghuan couldn't speak for a while, and was silent for a moment before he smiled to himself: "Did he go back?" It's good to go back. ”

"Shall you go back?" However, Gong Xiangxiao sneered again when he heard this, and said, "You provoked the queen and angered the father of this son, do you think it is good to go back to the north in this case?" ”

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and his face was pale, he still vented unceremoniously, and then he said stupidly, "Do you know what he is going to do when he goes back this time?" ”
