Reminiscences of the Past Chapter 8 The Years When Du Ruosheng Was Still the Empress (5)

Later, Du Ruosheng learned that the letter was about the name of the secret soldier he had prepared in private.

After Yan Qinghan left from Huaqing Palace that day, he went to the early court, and after the morning court, he found that the letter was not on his body, he thought of sleeping in Huaqing Palace yesterday, so he wanted to go back along the road to find it, but he didn't go far.

Qi Guang found him with a nervous expression.

"Your Majesty, the bodies of dozens of middle-aged men were found on the outskirts of the city early this morning."

"Can you find out who they are?" Yan Qinghan asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Well, it's... It is a part of the name. Qi Guang hesitated a little before he said.

"Do you know when you were killed!?" The name was lost, and the person in the name was killed, Yan Qinghan's heart was suddenly full of doubts.

"When I found them today, their bodies were not stiff, and the blood was not completely clotted."

Qi Guang's words all impacted Yan Qinghan's heart.

"This must have been done on purpose, the name that I received yesterday is gone today, and now the person on the name has been killed again."

"Your Majesty, is your name missing? When did you not see it? As soon as Qi Guang heard Yan Qinghan say that his name was gone, he immediately asked.

"I only found out this morning, and I didn't realize when I didn't." Yan Qinghan shook his head and said, he obviously had been carrying it with him, but somehow it was gone.

"Where did the emperor go yesterday?" Qi Guang asked again.

"Huaqing Palace, yesterday was the queen's birthday banquet. So I stayed in Huaqing Palace. ”

"The queen, the emperor, the queen......"

Before Qi Guang finished speaking, Yan Qinghan signaled him to shut up, he didn't want Qi Guang to continue, he didn't think about it, but he didn't believe that Du Ruosheng would do this, although he doubted her, but after the Star Gazing Pavilion and yesterday, he wanted to try to believe her, but everything was so coincidental.

Yan Qinghan thought for a moment and decided to take a look first and then talk about it, and not act rashly.

"You go and secretly let Tan'er pay attention to the queen's actions today, and don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

Therefore, Qi Guang went to find Tan'er that day, Tan'er paid special attention to Du Ruosheng's words and deeds, she knew that a little eunuch had come to find Du Ruosheng, and then Du Ruosheng went out without them at noon.

After Du Ruosheng left the Huaqing Palace, Tan'er secretly followed, and when she saw Du Ruosheng and the Queen Mother meeting, she went to Weiyang Palace to report.

"Your Majesty, after the queen mother received this note, she went to the imperial garden, and she went to see the queen mother."

I don't know when Du Ruosheng's note fell to the ground, but it was picked up by Tan'er, and Yan Qinghan took the note.

When he saw the words on the note, Yan Qinghan felt disappointed in his heart, he didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it, because everything was so coincidental.

He clutched the note, then ordered, and rushed to Huaqing Palace with the guards, and when he arrived, Du Ruosheng had not returned.

When he saw Du Ruosheng rushing back in a panic, the disappointment in his heart was even greater, until the guard turned the envelope out of her palace, he opened his mouth to ask her, and when he heard her answer, he was completely disappointed.

He hated why he believed her so easily, not to mention that he had killed dozens of lives in vain, and even the matter of the secret soldiers might have been exposed.

Although he was angry, he never condemned Du Ruosheng, if he punished her, it could have been said that he had done nothing, and he also expected that the queen mother must know that she couldn't do it, so she would do it so blatantly.

But even so, for Du Ruosheng, these are not important in the first place, what she is sad about is Lu Lan's framed design, and Yan Qinghan refuses to believe in herself anymore.

Du Ruosheng never knew when and how the letter appeared in her palace, she didn't know what these people who came and went in her Huaqing Palace were thinking in their hearts, these maids and servants who served themselves on the surface and called themselves the main ones, who really belonged to this front and back hall in their hearts.

This time, Du Ruosheng felt physically and mentally exhausted for the first time, which was more violent and real than the time he was misunderstood by Yan Qinghan.

This is the second year that Du Ruosheng came to Wanchao, and this year Du Ruosheng also spent the loneliest and most painful year.

She originally thought that Yan Qinghan didn't believe in herself, misunderstood herself, Lu Lan's goal had been achieved, and she would no longer be unable to get along with herself, so she would stop here, but she didn't expect that there was one less Lu Lan, but there was another Fang Lanzhi.

Du Ruosheng remembered that the first time she saw Fang Lanzhi, it was in the imperial garden, she was embarrassed by a maid who brought soup to her, and she was just not used to seeing her making things difficult and servants, and she looked tricky and arrogant, so she came forward to maintain the arrogance of this maid to kill her.

â€Ļâ€Ļ

The cold winter has passed, and the spring of the Ten Thousand Dynasties will soon arrive as scheduled.

The cold faded, and Ruosheng's frost-stricken heart didn't seem to be as cold as before, and the warmth of early spring seemed to shine into his heart.

Recently, Ruosheng met a new friend, who was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, named Xia Zhiyi, she was one year older than herself, knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, when Ruosheng saw her for the first time, she felt that her temperament was somewhat similar to that of her sister, so she would be so compatible.

Speaking of acquaintance with her, it is not a pleasant memory.

â€Ļâ€Ļ

Since the last time Du Ruosheng taught Fang Lanzhi a lesson in the palace, she hadn't appeared in the palace for a while, Du Ruosheng thought that she must have felt humiliated and lost face, so she was embarrassed to come again.

Unexpectedly, Du Ruosheng overestimated Fang Lanzhi.

Only then did he think of her, and she appeared in front of him.

Ruosheng saw her from afar, mainly because she was too eye-catching, Ruosheng wanted to bypass her and didn't want to have any conflict with her, but she didn't expect that Fang Lanzhi also saw her early in the morning and ran towards her all the way, Ruosheng suddenly felt bored.

"Queen Mother, Laneige has thought carefully since she returned home since she was taught last time, so as soon as I saw Queen Mother today, I specially came to ask Queen Mother for peace."

Fang Lanzhi saluted with a courteous face, and there was a weird yin and yang in her words.

"It's good that the county lord understands, there is still something to do in the palace, the county lord." Ruosheng said that he wanted to leave from her side.

Who knew that Fang Lanzhi grabbed Ruosheng's arm and stopped her, Ruosheng knew that she was deliberately trying to find trouble for herself because of what happened last time.

"Queen Mother, I kindly came to greet you, do you use this attitude to the lord of this county?" Fang Lanzhi has thorns between the lines.

"Then what kind of attitude does the county lord want this palace to have?" Ruosheng asked rhetorically, and after seeing that she didn't answer, he broke away from her hand and prepared to continue walking.

Before he could take two steps, Fang Lanzhi's shrill voice said again: "No wonder Brother Emperor doesn't like you, who can like you with your stinky temper!?" ”

Hearing Fang Lanzhi mention Yan Qinghan, Du Ruosheng's already depressed heart was even more unhappy, although it had been two or three months since the last palace search, the relationship between her and Yan Qinghan had not eased in the slightest, and she was also angry in her heart, she couldn't help but say that she was angry with Yan Qinghan, angry at his headless and brainless, and now Fang Lanzhi talked about Yan Qinghan, which undoubtedly broke up Du Ruosheng's last patience.

Du Ruosheng turned the trial, with anger in his eyes, looked at Fang Lanzhi, and said coldly: "County Lord, the affairs of this palace and the emperor, it is not your turn to point fingers, what is the palace like, let alone your turn to judge!" ”

"Obviously you're not favored, I really don't know what qualifications you have to be arrogant here!?" Fang Lanzhi saw that Ruosheng was angry, and even came to the end, and said head-on.

"Could it be that you are relying on your home country? It's really ridiculous, if you want me to say, it's you Dongchuan who want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but unfortunately, Dongchuan's wish is going to be disappointed, and you send someone else who doesn't want it. The more Fang Lanzhi said, the more excessive.

No matter how humiliated Du Ruosheng is, she can endure it, but if Dongchuan is mentioned, Du Ruosheng can't tolerate it at all, and it is conceivable that Fang Lanzhi has committed Du Ruosheng's taboo.

With a "snap", Fang Lanzhi only felt a hot pain on her face, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Du Ruosheng's slowly falling hand, suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, and said in a weak voice: "Queen Mother, Laneige is not sensible, Lanzhi will not bump into you next time." ”

"This palace has endured you again and again, but you deceive people too much, if you let this palace hear you say a word again, this palace will beat you once when she sees you!"

Du Ruosheng thought that Fang Lanzhi had been beaten, so he was scared and simply took the opportunity to warn.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Qinghan's voice sounded from behind her: "Who provoked the queen mother to be so angry that she wanted to see her once and beat her once." ”

Yan Qinghan approached and helped Fang Lanzhi up from the ground.

"Laneige, what did you do to provoke the queen to do it?"

As soon as Fang Lanzhi saw Yan Qinghan, she was even more energetic, and instantly the pear blossom brought rain to grievances, "I just said that the queen's temper is not very good, who knew that the queen's mother directly raised her hand to hit Laneige, and warned Lanzhi not to say it again in the future!" ”

Hearing Fang Lanzhi's words, Du Ruosheng almost wanted to give her two more slaps.

"Queen, what Laneige said is true?" Yan Qinghan looked at Ruosheng.

Du Ruosheng glared at Fang Lanzhi fiercely, too lazy to explain to Yan Qinghan.

"Is it true or not, will the emperor believe me?"

"Your Majesty, you have to believe Laneige! You're going to be in charge of Laneige. Fang Lanzhi said with a crying voice on the side.

"Laneige, don't worry, I will call the shots for you."

Du Ruosheng looked at the two people in front of him, and only felt a wave of disgust rise from his heart.

"Queen, it's just a matter of saying two words to you, and you're beating people angrily, isn't it too much of a nobody, so I said that now I'm talking about you, do you want to slap me too!?" Yan Qing asked coldly.

Du Ruosheng smiled bitterly in his heart, didn't he ever know what kind of person he was, did he know what kind of grievances he had suffered, he had always wronged himself indiscriminately, and he never wanted to believe in himself.

thought so in her heart, but her complexion did not change, she only looked at Yan Qinghan's gaze, and said bluntly: "The emperor has raised the concubine, so how does the emperor want to be the master of Lanzhi County, and the concubine has no complaints." ”

"Cousin should not be punished by the imperial sister-in-law, but by the woman next to you, right?" The three of them looked for prestige, and a gentle woman wearing a light blue satin skirt and an elegant temperament walked over, this person was Xia Zhiyi, Lu Lan's niece, and Yan Qinghan's cousin.

"Who are you, and why do you say that?" When Fang Lanzhi saw that he was making trouble, he couldn't care less about continuing to pretend to be wronged.

"It has nothing to do with you, I saw what happened to the imperial sister-in-law and you here just now, I thought that my cousin would come and make decisions for the imperial sister-in-law, but I didn't expect to believe your lies."

"Xia Zhiyi, when will it be your turn to host here!" Yan Qinghan shouted.

"Cousin! It's clearly ......" When Xia Zhiyi still wanted to argue, he was stopped by Ruosheng, Ruosheng knew when he looked at Yan Qinghan's appearance that he clearly didn't care if he was wronged, so why bother making a pointless dispute.

"Call the emperor, don't think that the queen mother is your aunt, you can forget what your identity is!" Yan Qinghan said again.

Seeing that Du Ruosheng and Xia Zhiyi had suffered losses, Fang Lanzhi looked even more villainous and complacent.

"The queen is getting more and more powerful, and the people around the queen mother are really getting closer and closer."

Sure enough, Yan Qinghan's misunderstanding of himself this time deepened.

"Your Majesty, don't insinuate with sand, it's the first time I've seen the queen's mother, but I just happened to run into it."

"Whatever you want, Laneige, let's go."

Yan Qinghan said that, and left with Fang Lanzhi. \tīŧŒ

Xia Zhiyi originally wanted to help, but he didn't expect this result, he looked at the lost Du Ruosheng guiltily, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I just want to help you." ”

"It's okay, thank you, I didn't know you were yet?" Ruosheng shook his head slightly, and asked with a light smile.

"I am the daughter of Prime Minister Xia, Xia Zhiyi, and the emperor's cousin, because my mother and the queen mother are sisters." Xia Zhiyi said softly.

The two met like this, and Ruosheng later had Xia Zhiyi's company, and life was not so difficult.
