By the time Wei Nanyan and Si Qing came out of the Zichen Palace, the sky was already a moonlit and starry sky under the ink color. In the quiet night, the calm palace is the same as every day and night in the past, but Wei Nanyan feels that all this is fake, like a papier-mâché clay sculpture, like a false fantasy, not a few steps out of the Zichen Palace, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in the wound on her forehead, and the steps under her feet were chaotic, and the person softened, Si Qing was shocked, but she couldn't help her, the two of them were about to fall to the side together, but a person from the opposite side stepped forward quickly to support them.

"Young Master Yan, you, why are you here?"

Wei Yan's face was pale in the moonlight, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, he seemed to be a little tired, so he helped Wei Nanyan to sit down on the side of a rockery next to him, and he sat on a slightly lower stone with his head down, silent for a moment, and then said, "Why is the eldest sister like this." ”

"It's already so, and what is not bitter. These days...... How are you doing at home?"

"It's all good. Although Xue Huan was recommended by the eldest sister, this matter has no direct relationship with the eldest sister after all, and His Majesty did not blame the Wei family. ”

"That'...... What about the Xue family?"

"Everything else is fine, it's just that the eldest girl of the Xue family was originally engaged to the Guan family, the servant of the Criminal Department, and this matter was originally the Wei family as a matchmaker, but the Guan family has already retired from the Xue family, and has not said hello to her father. ”

Wei Nanyan remembered that Xue Huan had always loved his sister at home, and now that Xue's eldest sister had been dismissed, the girls of the Xue family who had not yet left the cabinet were afraid that their future would be ruined, and said hatefully: "That Guan Shilang used to beg to go to the door of the Xue family, but he still ordered this family affair because of his father's relationship, and he was so happy at the time, but now he is - they are all villains who worship high and step on low!"

"Yesterday, Jiaxi said that she wanted to have a tea party, invited her mother to come over and talk to her mother, and invited more ladies and sons in Beijing, and also invited a few girls from the Xue family, wanting to comfort them, saying that they would ask the people in Beijing to see, the Wei family is fine, and the Xue family is still there. ”

"Jiaxi has always been very measured, and she is dedicated to you, now that the Xue family is in this situation, she will never act rashly," Wei Nanyan raised her eyes slightly, looked at Wei Yan's somewhat gloomy expression, and thought of herself, and felt a little more bitter in her heart: "Yan'er, the eldest sister knows the bitterness in your heart, but Jiaxi has been very attentive to you since she got married, she is not an ordinary woman, such a background, but she can still not care about the past gossip of you and Yao Jin, and has always been dedicated to you and the Wei family." You said she was going to have a tea party, do you know why?"

"I think it's because I pity the girls of the Xue family. ”

"No, you're wrong. Wei Nanyan shook her head gently, "She wants to prove to those people in Beijing that the Xue family is fine, the Wei family is still beautiful, she is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, she is the daughter of the Yao family, she and her mother are noble, so even if the daughter of the Wei family falls out of favor in the palace, she can't let the Wei family lose half of their face - she is really, all for you." ”

Wei Yan was a little surprised and a little moved for a while, a slightly surprised look flashed, and then she lowered her head and muttered, "No, she doesn't need to...... I don't care about that, and my father and mother don't care, as long as the family is okay, it doesn't matter. ”

"Are you okay?" Wei Nanyan looked back at the Zichen Hall in the night, her eyes were a little stupid, but they were also cold: "Your Majesty didn't ask me anything about the truth he wanted to know, or the truth he thought it was." I've been asked a lot, and now even I don't know what the truth is, whether there is a so-called truth, I don't know if I ever instructed Xue Huan to poison the queen, or if Xue Huan himself would be wrong, but no matter what, this matter is over! Yan'er, this palace is still Shuguifei, you and Jiaxi are still the best help in this palace, the Wei family is still there, and the Mo family-"

"The Mo family has never said a word or done anything in this matter from beginning to end. Wei Yan interrupted her indifferently: "Eldest sister, don't do anything more! Isn't Xue Huan's death able to wake you up? Your Majesty is so mindful, even if I don't understand it, don't you understand it?

"It's because I know that there is no moment I know better than now, that I want to be here, stand up well, go on well, I won't be as persistent as before, but I won't retreat, I won't retreat a single step. ”

Si Qing helped Wei Nanyan to stand up slowly, she stood straight, and then frowned slightly at Wei Yan, looking at Wei Yan who was deeply worried and sad in her eyes. She remembered that when she first entered the palace, although she was young, she had to pretend to be calm, and act and speak like a palace lady who knew etiquette and knew how to advance and retreat, but whenever she faced the cold palace room and the dark night in the middle of the night, she would still sobble in the quilt in fear, but she didn't even dare to cry more, because the next morning she was going to greet the queen and be ready to accompany her at any time, how could she dare to go with her red and swollen eyes? If the emperor and empress saw it and thought that she was reluctant and unhappy, would the Wei family be implicated, and would her younger brother be hurt?

At that time, Wei Nanyan was so weak and helpless, the emperor didn't care about her, the queen was just Erer, the people in the palace bullied her young and didn't put Qingfeng Pavilion in her eyes, she only dared to sit in her palace in a daze every day, even the palace maids in her palace were lazy and slack, every time Si Qing was wronged and cried to her, she could only hold her hand, and said over and over again, "It'll be fine in the future, it'll be fine in the future" , even when she received a sachet made for her by a Wei family mother secretly sent by the little medicine boy Xue Huan, she only dared to hide in the quilt at night and caress it, crying silently. And today's Wei Nanyan has already dried up her tears and lost Xue Huan, but she can't be silent and can't fall, she still has Wei Yan, the Wei family's parents, and the loss and oath in her heart, she will never allow herself to take another half step back, she must go on, she wants to get something that truly belongs to her in this ups and downs of the palace city.

"Wei Yan, it's late at night, go to the guard house to rest, and leave the palace early tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Wei Nanyan was leaving, Wei Yan stood up, he seemed to hesitate, but he looked at Wei Nanyan's back and opened his mouth: "Eldest sister, I entered the palace today to see you...... There was something that Aunt Xue gave me quietly. ”

"What's that?"

It was Xue Huan who left a poem, he wrote half of it, and before he finished it, he was summoned to the palace and went to the Inner Servant Province. ”

Wei Nanyan suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, she raised her head, her nasal voice was thick, but she said coldly: "You don't have to show me." ”

"I knew that it was not a good thing for Eldest Sister Yu and the Xue family to stay in the world, so I burned it privately. But I can't bear it, so I came today to tell the eldest sister what kind of poem it is. ”

......

"Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, long-term lovesickness, long-term lovesickness, short-term lovesickness is infinite-"

Wei Yan's words came to an abrupt end, and Wei Nanyan's tears were all framed in her eyes, she closed her eyes, forced herself to put back those tears, and muttered: "I knew that it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning." ”
