Walking through the lush groves, not far in front of you is where the Bixiao Palace is located, and you can see a few candles flickering in the dark night.

Although the voice of "Little Fourth ......" was calm, it was full of sadness, and suddenly hearing it made her heart seem to skip a few beats.

In fact, when he was hit hard in the Bright Moon Palace, and when they met each other's eyes, she had a premonition that he would be waiting for her somewhere in this deep palace. Walking along the road, I didn't see him in the end, thinking that it was just a conjecture and had to give up, but he was standing a hundred feet away from Bixiao Palace.

"Your Majesty has recognized the wrong person?" Bow as if it were a courtesy.

"Since you are ruthless to leave me, why are you planning to come back!" He was full of scolding, and he had been holding back for half a month.

Her mouth was open, but she couldn't say a word.

Her Yuan Jie was left behind, and the people who had been guarding her in the past were beheaded in the East City, where they were proud of their wine shops and painting pavilions, as well as those winds and snows and the days of being together. Although life is only a few decades in the world, everything has to look forward, but the person she loves disappeared so suddenly, she no longer has the mind to travel the world, she just wants to see what will happen to those who harm him in the end.

"Yuan Jie's legacy, I feel ashamed." His broad palm reached over and held one of her hands tightly, and his voice was gentle like a child who had done something wrong.

He still remembered that day, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu knelt in the empty vertical arch hall and said solemnly: "It is the negligence of the minister to let this matter be leaked, and the minister will not be able to escape the blame for his death." If this situation can be solved, the minister is willing to die. ”

He pondered for a long time, and only said: "Regarding Jinghe, I can't stand you." ”

"Your Majesty, don't say that. To each his own life. The concubine now just wants to start all over again. She hid her sadness, not daring to think of that smiling face at all, but the more she pressed herself not to, the more she remembered it. Tears fell as if they couldn't be suppressed.

"Then I'll start over with you." He took her in his arms and made a solemn promise.

She didn't understand, why did he forgive her so easily? If he had faked his death to escape her, she would have changed her mind and never been a stranger to this person.

Of course she didn't. Those days without her, his description was withered and silent for many days.

Many years ago, she thought that she had hidden it well, and she had wasted her years in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and he often stood on the high place of Yuhua Pavilion, looking at the white clothes like snow, from pear blossom snow white to north wind hunting.

Since the reunion of Yuhua Pavilion, although his face was covered with a light veil, he recognized those eyes at a glance, but he let her go, in exchange for two years of longing.

This time, he decided to follow his heart. Even if she is guilty of deceit, he can't control so much.

That night, in the Bixiao Palace, the wind was surging.

Woke up in the middle of the night, and under the faint candlelight, he lowered his eyelashes and looked at her deeply. She removed her head from his arm: "Why don't you sleep?" ”

He reached out and pulled her head back into his arm, gently holding her in his arms, his chin resting on top of her head, and did not answer her question. I've been suffering from insomnia for a year, how can I get cured in a short period of time?

She also lost her sleepiness, and slowly spoke: "When my father defected, the Criminal Department received a holy decree to send the concubines to Yunnan. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wei Wei halfway and sent the dove wine given by the emperor, and the concubine was pressed to the ground by that group of people before she drank the poisonous wine. Then, waking up in severe pain, the concubine had the word 'slave' on her forehead. ”

"Concubines are not willing to enter the palace as slaves. At the beginning, the emperor's concubines and His Majesty were clear, and the concubines had settled properly outside the palace, who expected that His Majesty was seriously ill and in a coma, Xuan Niangniang personally came to Dongxi Building, and the concubines didn't even have time to bring one more piece of clothing into the palace. This time he entered the palace, but he never had a chance to return to Dongxi Tower. His Majesty degraded the concubines to the court to wash, and the concubines fell ill. Later, when I met him, he cured me of my illness and replaced the word 'slave' on my forehead with a manju sawa. ”

"The concubine loves that Manzhu Shahua, not to be clear with His Majesty. What I want to clear is that unbearable time. ”

They were silent to each other, and the silence in the Bixiao Hall was terrifying. After a long time, she had closed her eyes and was drowsy, and His Majesty whispered, "I never wanted you to die. ”

The corners of her lips hooked slightly: "The concubine knows." ”

Whether it was true or not, she no longer wanted to speculate. In the past, she was bent on protecting the man who never wanted to cling to him, and she would make good use of it. Although I don't know how many scars will be scratched on each other's hearts, there is no other way.

The next day, Jiang Zhaoyi was awarded the title of Concubine De and given to live in Cuiwei Palace.

For this reason, Concubine Liangxian lost her temper. The two princesses were angry in front of the concubine, and with a fire in their stomachs, they came to play in the imperial garden, but they saw the eldest prince playing on the lawn.

"This stupid boy was reprimanded by his father yesterday, and he didn't even dare to raise his head. Today, I was playing here as if nothing had happened. It's infuriating to look at. ”

Cangling gave Cangrou a look, the two-year-old girl was very powerful, and suddenly pretended to fall to the ground, Cangling hurriedly shouted: "Come on." Yin Ke bullied Cangrou again. ”

Yin Ke had just been freed from a large number of articles and poems, and he was finally able to play by himself for a while, when he suddenly stopped by name, looked here crampedly, and saw Cangrou fall to the ground, he was about to run over to check, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that there was fraud in the matter, but he was troubled by sympathy, and still ran over with a big grin.

Clinker, Concubine Liangxian is also walking here, seeing this situation, she naturally counted Yin Ke down, and punished him to kneel on the palace road and not get up.

After Concubine Xian left, Concubine Jiang Defei came, helped Yin Ke up, and only asked: "Is it the eldest husband's work to be bullied?" ”

Yin Ke was thoughtful and said blankly: "Concubine Niangniang, you are different from the past. ”

Concubine Jiang Defei squatted down and looked at him at eye level: "In this deep palace, people are good and are bullied. If Niangniang can change, why can't Ke'er? ”

So one day later, when Cangling's old trick was repeated, he was severely beaten by the eldest prince. The princess with a blue nose and swollen face was led by her mother to the emperor to cry about her encounter, but was thrown by Yang Guifei. The farce of that day upset the emperor.

Then, when the Empress Dowager heard about this, she punished Concubine Liangxian and grounded her. But the strange thing is that the emperor kept the two princesses Cangling and Cangrou by his side for a month, and they were very fond of him.

The Empress Dowager has tried her best over the years but has not been able to support Yang Guifei, so she gradually wants to open up. When he was obsessed with going, people were much calmer, and he actually said that he wanted to move to Luoyang Palace to live.

Concubine Jiang Defei proposed: Yang Guifei is depressed and bored all the year round, and Luoyang Palace is a good place to recuperate, so it is better to let her serve the Empress Dowager by her side and do her filial piety for Your Majesty and the Emperor.

Although the Empress Dowager no longer has the extra energy to take care of the harem affairs, she is not willing to let the Yang family be lonely from now on. According to the matter of Luoyang Palace, it is about to be stopped. Concubine Jiang De went to Ziwei Palace.

In the main hall, Concubine De knelt at the knees of the ancestors, like when she was about to marry the King of Yunnan. Except for the two of them, it was Aunt Chun, who still hadn't eased up and stood aside.

"Aunt and Grandma the Queen Mother." Concubine De said, "Over the years, you have always brought the eldest prince with you to raise you, don't you think he looks like Shen Tai?" ”

The Empress Dowager was speechless, and Concubine De said: "Your Majesty took Concubine Liangxian with her when she was in the northern country, and she never lived with Meng Meng, and she was served by her concubines on the return trip. You wouldn't think His Majesty didn't know about this, did you? Whether or not he has ever graced, His Majesty himself knows better than anyone else. This move is just to protect the Yang family and think of brotherhood. But with such a shame all these years, who would feel sorry for him? ”

The Empress Dowager frowned tightly, and after a long time, she asked in a deep voice: "Since you have already retreated, why do you want to come back." ”

"Because the concubine is unwilling." Concubine De showed a faint smile, "When Your Majesty was still the crown prince, you had the heart to make a concubine the crown princess, but your favorite candidate is Meng Meng." The concubines also thought that Meng Meng was countless times better than herself, and was willing to give up Her Majesty to others. However, it turned out that this was Meng Ming. The concubine guessed that when Xuan Niangniang died, she said that she was sick and avoided in the house because she wanted to protect the fetus, but who knew that the child's life was thin and could not be saved. ”

"Without evidence, you will not be allowed to talk nonsense." The Empress Dowager was slightly revealed.

"Naturally, if there is no evidence, you don't dare to talk nonsense. But now the big prince is in the palace, the paper can never contain the fire, the king's heart is unpredictable, if it is not for the empress dowager, your majesty will always have to raise children for the emperor of the northern country? ”

"You are becoming more and more bold now, but you know that the mourning family can punish you with capital crimes." The Empress Dowager patted the armrest, not angry.

Concubine De still smiled slightly: "People who have died once are not so afraid of death." Moreover, the concubine promised Shen Tai to bring people back to the north. ”

The Empress Dowager stared closely at the woman with a calm expression under her knees, but in just a few years, her temperament has changed dramatically. I still remember the night before the post-closure ceremony, Meng Meng came to greet her with a sad face, and her comforting words were: If a person's heart dies, his body will not live long.

Now that she has come back from the dead, there is no despair in her eyes. A pair of eyes twinkled like stars, with a glint of resentment. She didn't know how the innocent and innocent Ling'er in the past got to where she is today. But she suddenly felt guilty, and all her anger only turned into a cloud of turbidity and suffocated in her heart.

Soon after, the Empress Dowager moved to the Luoyang Palace, and Yang Guifei was ordered to serve and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.

Concubine Liangxian was overjoyed, and since then she has been in charge of the harem alone, and has also opened a new chapter in the cruelty of the eldest prince.

Once, when the prince's well-behaved foal was drugged by a man with ill intentions, the prince sat behind the horse and suddenly went berserk and threw the child, who had just learned to ride, on the gravel floor. The kid's knees were covered with blood and he immediately got up, and said to Concubine Jiang De, who came to support him: "Father is watching over there, Ke'er doesn't dare to slack off, and must practice harder." ”

Concubine De stroked his messy hair: "Ke'er, don't be afraid. Soon you'll be able to get out of here. ”

A few days later, the palace maids around the eldest prince were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and half of the Weiyang Palace was like an ant on a hot pot. A living child, just disappeared so suddenly.

Outside the secret passage, the eldest prince grabbed He Yue's hand and raised his head and asked, "Jiang Niangniang, do you know that taking me away is the crime of killing my head." ”

Concubine De's laughter was like a silver bell: "I don't want to kidnap you, just send you to see your relatives." ”

After a few more days, the Emperor Taishang, who was hiding in the temple in the deep mountains, opened the door and saw a soft and glutinous child, holding a faded juju in his arms, tilting his head to look at him: "You are the grandfather of the Emperor?" ”

In a flash, time seemed to go backwards.

The Emperor Taishang bowed his body, opened his arms, and hugged the child in his arms: "Tai'er......"

Jiang Niangniang said that the grandfather of the Emperor Taishang can send Ke'er to find his father. But Ke'er just escaped from the palace, saw the vast world, heard the gurgling water, smelled the sweet air, all this is so beautiful, no longer have to worry about making Cangling angry, and there is no need to worry about kicking and hurting Cangrou's sister. Grandpa Taishang, you look very kind. Can you not take Ke'er back to the palace? Ke'er was actually very afraid. "The child buried his head and did not dare to look into the eyes of men.

"Ke'er, don't be afraid." The Emperor Taishang landed on one knee, with tears in his eyes, and gently patted Yin Ke's back, "Grandpa is here." ”
