Yao Guifei lives in the West Palace, although it has also been renovated, but Hua Yue is still very familiar with this realm, passing through the courtyard and corridor, crossing the door into the hall, she pinched the skirt and knelt down in the side hall, and glanced at the falling curtain in front of her.

"Say hello to the mother."

There was only one minion standing in the huge side hall, and when he saw it, he knew that it was not a good battle, and the silence around him was suffocating, and Hanazuki didn't wait for the sound of the voice inside, so he glanced slightly sideways in the direction of the minion.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I see her, my face sinks.

Mon Province.

This person is a traitor who voted for Zhou Heshuo, earlier than Shen Zhiluo, but everyone in Wei Palace knows that he is a lackey Eagle Claw.

If he can stand here, then there won't be Yao Guifei behind this curtain.

"It's really you." Zhou Heshuo raised his finger and lifted the curtain, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "Shibei should be impressed for three days, a girl in the room, turned around and became the master mother of the general's mansion." ”

With a deep breath, Hanazuki closed her eyes.

Even if she is unlucky, so many people today can be caught by him, and what is even more unfortunate is that Meng Sheng, who is standing next to her, still recognizes her.

Hua Yue guessed why she was called back, but she didn't panic, and as soon as her body became weak, she saluted Zhou Heshuo again: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhou Heshuo looked at her with heavy eyes: "Thank you for what?" ”

"If His Royal Highness hadn't returned the mandarin duck to the slave maid, the slave wouldn't have been able to fly to the branch of the general's mansion." Hua Yue said softly, "I have never had the opportunity to salute His Highness before, but now I have to be summoned by His Highness, and the slave and maid should kowtow to thank Longen." ”

After that, the rules and regulations kowtowed him three times.

Originally, I was still thinking about this person being caught by him and talking to him, but when she was suddenly knocked like this, Zhou Heshuo's expression eased slightly, but he was puzzled: "A mandarin duck can make you sit on the position of the general's wife?" ”

Biting her lip timidly, Hua Yue said in a low voice: "This matter is a long story, His Royal Highness gave back the treasure before, and the slave maid took it to Gongzi, who knew that Gongzi suddenly laughed, and even said a few words 'good', and said that he would live up to His Highness's trust in this life." The slave maid was startled, but she didn't tell the son about seeing His Royal Highness for half a word, how could the son say this, so scared that the slave didn't sleep well for a few nights. ”

His eyes flashed slightly, Zhou Heshuo came out and sat down in the outer hall, spread his clothes, and listened to her carefully.

The maid in the hall was still the same as before, her voice was soft and thin, and her expression was terrified. She glanced at Meng Xingxing next to her several times, and her throat moved slightly: "The slave maid also came to see this adult, and only then did she know that she wanted to thank His Highness." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Heshuo was curious, "Have you seen this adult?" ”

"This is natural, just the day before you passed the slave maid question, this adult went to Qifeng Tower, drinking and chatting with the son, when the slave and maid were outside, I heard this lord tell our son to be careful, saying that someone framed and framed him, and he wanted to find trouble with the son. The slave didn't understand what this meant at the time, but the son Xu understood, so later, the slave and the maid sent the mandarin duck back, and the son said that it was His Royal Highness's trust and he wanted to be loyal immediately. ”

She said while reminiscing, her expression was sincere and sincere: "After that, the son even took the slave and maid with him, and in order not to be engaged to the Han family, he accepted the slave and maid." ”

Zhou Heshuo looked at her silently, his eyes as sharp as knives.

Hua Yue lowered her head, but her posture was very relaxed, without the slightest weakness after lying, even if he saw through her, he couldn't see the slightest flaw.

Meng Xingxing stood beside him, cold sweat breaking out.

He never thought that this little master was still alive, let alone that he would send him such a big gift as soon as they met. He went to see Li Jingyun that day, and wanted to make some benefits by giving him a good breath, Li Jingyun was also generous, and directly gave him three hundred taels of silver in Qifeng Tower.

As a slave, doesn't she just point to this bit of oil and water, but how did she know about it? Now he is still telling the prince, His Royal Highness the prince is suspicious, knowing that he has private dealings with foreign ministers, is there still a way for him to live in this palace?

Meng Xingxing's eyes rolled straight, and he knelt down with a flick of his clothes: "Your Highness, the old slave is wronged, you know, the old slave has always been by your side, where is there any other place to go?" ”

Zhou Heshuo didn't say anything, and his whole body was gloomy and overwhelming.

Hua Yue looked left and right with an innocent face, and when she looked at Meng Province, she saw him glancing threateningly at him.

How else to say that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, these minions now love to threaten and intimidate her, and treat her as the half-grown child in the West Palace.

Retracting her gaze, Hua Yue smiled slightly: "The slave doesn't look carefully, anyway, it's an adult of this shape." That's what I said, the slave and maid have never seen the world, and they can't make up words, so they won't deceive people, and please ask Your Highness to see it. ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, and this little master's posture has changed, and he has lost his previous domineering, but he is good at opening his eyes and telling nonsense. She hasn't seen the world yet, so who has seen the world?

Meng Xing felt a toothache, and his old arms and waist went straight to the ground to worship: "Your Highness Mingjian, you really are not an old slave." ”

With a faint "um", Zhou Heshuo knocked on the armrest of the Taishi chair without a match.

According to the meaning of this maid, Li Jingyun knew that someone had thrown the mandarin duck pendant to the East Palace after losing the mandarin duck pendant, and when he was nervous, he saw that the maid took the jade pendant back, and immediately understood that the master of the East Palace was magnanimous, and he was willing to believe him even if he had doubts, so he later refused the marriage that the eldest princess wanted to give, and followed him firmly.

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Heshuo felt comfortable in his heart, he thought that letting Li Jingyun know that he was torturing the people around him would be suspicious, but he never thought that he would be crooked, but he would win people's hearts.

The hall was quiet again, Zhou Heshuo looked at the little maid in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Meng Sheng, she said that she had seen you, so have you seen her?" ”

Kazuki raised her eyes and looked at the person next to her.

***

Su Miao went to find her cousin without delay, Li Jingyun was inspecting the forbidden army in the front palace, and when she heard her explain the reason, she strode out with a tight expression, taking off her clothes as she walked.

He was wearing red-edged silver armor today, lined with a dark green robe, and stepping on a pair of silver and gray official boots, which looked very imposing, but this momentum was thrown into her arms by him in less than two steps, and Su Miao picked it up for a long time.

"Cousin, what are you doing here?" Su Miao couldn't laugh or cry, and looked back at the surroundings with a weak heart, "Is this still a chance to bump into people?" ”

Glancing at her, Li Jingyun said, "Do you think I can enter the harem immediately if I wear this?" ”

"You can't get in, but you can't take it all off." Before she could finish her sentence, the dark blue robe was wrapped around her head.

"You put it away, don't let anyone find out." He gave this command, and flew forward in his white middle coat.

Su Miao wanted to say that he was not in a proper manner, and he had to lose his head if he was bumped into him? But as far as she could see, there was a door halfway through the palace road in front of her, and her cousin passed by and entered the door, and after a moment of coming out, he changed into the official uniform of an internal servant.

"......" can still be like this?

If the sister-in-law is embarrassed by the people in Concubine Yao's palace, and the cousin wears this body to save her, it will be a crime of trespassing in the harem. Su Miao was anxious, and when she saw a palace person coming in the distance, she hurriedly gathered the pile of clothes in her arms into a pile, stuffed it under her skirt, and stuffed it into a round belly.

"Excuse me." She stopped the palace person, covered her stomach and said, "Where is the imperial hospital?" ”

Moments later, she got her wish to see her old acquaintance.

"In the palace of Yao Guifei?" After pondering for a while, he comforted her, "Don't worry, the third master is measured, and this trip may not be to save people." ”

The sister-in-law is still in that palace, why does the cousin go if he doesn't save people? Su Miao's face was full of doubts.

Wen Guzhi is the person who knows the most things around Li Jingyun, and after a little thought, he can also guess what the third master is anxious about.

Meng Province, a man who betrayed the original owner and soared, greedy for money and powerful, was the one who identified Feng Zixu many years ago and painted him a wanted portrait. In order to know the prince's movements, the third master has always raised him with silver, but this time, if he threatens the life of his sister-in-law, the third master may not be able to keep him.

***

"It looks familiar, but I can't remember it for a while."

Meng Xing knelt in front of Zhou Heshuo, stared at Hua Yue and said: "I should have seen it somewhere, the old slave is old, and I ask His Royal Highness to give him a grace period of two days, so that the old slave can go back and look through the roster and think about it carefully." ”

He said this in a similar way to the one that Kazuki had identified him before, leaving room for him to be a bargaining chip.

Originally, Meng Province recognized her, and wanted to say it directly, outsiders didn't know that there was a little lord in Dawei, and even the people in the palace said that she might not be of royal blood, but fortunately she was also a master, who was raised by brocade clothes and jade food, and if the prince was happy, he could also reward him with something.

But in this situation, if he said it, this little master would definitely burn his jade with him, and shake his little things in front of the prince, and he would not have a good life.

Meng Province has always been the most knowledgeable about current affairs, and after speaking, he kowtowed to Zhou Heshuo.

Kazuki breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Heshuo was quite tired of Meng Province's behavior, and he didn't see that this old thing was quite selfish, and he often played tricks in front of his master, if it wasn't for some use, he would have abolished people a long time ago.

Since he said that he couldn't think of it, he wouldn't leave the young lady of the General's Mansion here in vain to offend people, even if he let Hua Yue get up, praised Li Jingyun for a good time, and rewarded her with two jade artifacts to take back to the mansion.

Stepping out of the threshold and being blown by the wind outside, Kazuki realized that she was covered in cold sweat. Her identity is not suitable for showing up everywhere, and today she is reckless, and if she really loses her life, there is nothing to say.

I don't know how much Zhou Heshuo believed those words, but there is one thing, as long as Meng Province is still there, she may bring the disaster of destroying the general's mansion at any time.

Her hands and feet were cold, and Hua Yue hurriedly followed the palace people out, wanting to go out to find someone quickly.

As soon as he walked to Jing'anmen, the palace people around him suddenly became agitated.

"How?" She tilted her head.

The palace people and guards who led the way muttered a few words, and then came back to say to her, "There is a place to walk in the palace, Madame don't have to worry, you can go out any further, and no matter how noisy it is, it won't affect you." ”

Can you still walk in the water in the Forbidden Palace? Hua Yue was very surprised, in their Great Wei, if there was such a big mess in the palace, the Imperial Forest Army would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Da Liang's forbidden palace was really unreliable, she shook her head.

After waiting outside the palace for a while, Su Miao finally came out, but she looked a little strange, and as soon as she came over, she took Hua Yue's hand and got into the car with her.

The wheels were far away, and Hua Yue asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Panting from her heart, Su Miao muttered in a low voice: "There is water in the palace." ”

"I've heard about it." Kazuki nodded, "So what?" ”

Looking at her steadily, Su Miao said: "As soon as my cousin's front foot entered, the back foot of the West Palace caught fire, burning a room and a person. ”

With a sigh in her heart, Hua Yue lowered her eyes.

Su Miao didn't understand why, and said with a pale face: "I just want him to save you, who knew that he could poke out such a big basket, fortunately, no one found out, if this is caught, we will all have to go to Huangquan." ”

Hua Yue was a little distracted, was dragged by her, and said weakly: "It's good that no one finds out." ”

"Sister-in-law, why aren't you afraid, that's a forbidden palace." Su Miaozhi shook her head, "I don't know who burned to death, but this matter is a big deal, and I already have a lot of complaints about the Imperial Forest Army today, and if this incident comes out again, I'm afraid it will make Long Yan angry." ”

Absentmindedly responding, Hua Yue sent her back to the Shen Mansion, and then took the car back to the General's Mansion by herself, staggering along the way, I don't know how long I walked. By the time she returned to the West Gate, her head was dizzy.

Someone went out to pick her up, carried her back to the east courtyard, dismantled her heavy outfit, and stuffed a cup of hot tea into her hand.

"Look at your little bit of interest." Li Jingyun snorted, "The tiger walked in its mouth, and he didn't bite half of the meat, why is his whole body cold?" ”

She looked up at him, her brow furrowed, "Who did you kill?" ”

Li Jingyun lowered her eyelids and smiled, but did not answer.

She got angry, pressed him on the soft couch, and said angrily: "The basket I poked, you cleaned it up, why didn't you invite a credit?" ”

Mo Tong stared at her, and he felt funny: "Shouldn't you be stealing fun if you don't invite credit, why are you still angry?" ”

He knew that if he went to move Meng Province, he knew everything, and he didn't even explain it to her, didn't it make people angry. Hua Yue puffed out her cheeks, but in the end she sighed, leaned on his chest and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Li Jingyun sneered, reached out and touched her head: "If you marry back, it's troublesome, and I don't blame you." ”

is so used to being spoiled to the sky, Hua Yue can't cry or laugh: "Ye is not afraid of going on like this, being poked in the backbone and scolded for indulging in women?" ”

"Female?" He pinched her chin in confusion and looked at her, and suddenly, "It's two." ”

Kazuki was so angry that she bit him.

Bearing her body with a chuckle, Li Jingyun said: "Don't be annoyed, the master has already remembered that person, even if you don't go wrong today, the master won't be able to keep him for long." ”

Lied, she looked at the accounts of Qifenglou, there were several transactions for Meng Province, and the two had a lot of contacts, where would they be willing to fold easily.

It's also a coincidence, if he hadn't let her go to Qingqi Fenglou's accounts, she might have to leak the stuffing in front of Zhou Heshuo today, and at that time, it would not be a slave to settle down.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Hanazuki leaned on him and let out a long breath.

In fact, killing people is the most inferior idea, and there is really no other choice when it comes to this point. As soon as Meng Province dies, will Yin Huayue be without suspicion? No, on the contrary, Zhou Heshuo will be more suspicious of her by two points, but compared to being directly exposed by Meng Province, this is already a good result.

The West Palace is on fire, and some people have lost their lives, where is the saint willing to spare today, depose dozens of officials of the Royal Forest Army, integrate the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army, and the power is directly in the hands of Li Jingyun.

This is a great grace, with real power in his hands, no one dares to look down on these three sons, Zhou Heshuo temporarily pressed Zha Yin Huayue's actions, and even the eldest princess changed her previous hostility and sent a lot of things to the general's mansion.

Hua Yue was very curious, why did the emperor, who was as shrewd as this big beam, value a young man so much? But she was also very happy, and after such an experience, Kang Zhenzhong came to the General's Mansion more frequently, and she began to plan how to get another word from his mouth, so as to untie the knot in his wife's heart for many years.

However, Zhuang couldn't wait for her.

When the weather in Jinghua first began to turn cold, Zhuang was already so sick that no matter how many doctors were changed or how many medicines were prescribed, she couldn't get out of bed again. When she came to see it, she didn't even take the pulse, only was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "What else does Madame want?" ”

Kazuki's eyes were red.

Zhuang has no wishes, she can only laugh in the past few days, and when she hears her coming, she laughs, and then takes her hand and tells her how gentle and good the first queen is.

"I was so old at that time, I was locked up in a firewood room, and my life was almost gone. She pushed the door in, and with a whole body of light, like a fairy descending to earth, pulled me out of the rotten branches and leaves. ”

Her voice was very small, and Hanazuki had to put it to her lips to hear what she was saying.

"At that time, I thought that as long as I could live, I would definitely repay my mother in the future."

"Later, when I saw you, you are really as good-looking as a mother, with similar outlines, but you are not happy, you have a flat mouth, and you don't even want to smile."

Who can laugh after something like that? There were some tears in Zhuang's eyes, and he rubbed her hand and said, "Don't be busy, I know you've been busy lately, and you want to help me, and I want Jingyun's kid to forgive me." ”

As soon as her throat tightened, Kazuki grabbed her hand.

"Where's it used?" She whispered, "When is this happening, you told him to understand now, how can he live the rest of his life?" It's better to leave it at that, and he won't feel uncomfortable. ”

"Ma'am." Kazuki couldn't listen to it, "This is what Childe owes you." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Zhuang smiled: "He doesn't owe, I haven't been with him well since he was born, the eldest lady and the second young master in the house have the love of You's mother, only him, he is guarded by his grandmother when he is young, I can't live with him." ”

She seems to have spent her life paying off her debts, paying off the generals, the You family, and the queen, and in the end, she never thought about paying off the debts owed to Jing Yun. It's a pity that her body is weak, and I'm afraid it's too late to pay it back.

Zhuang was also a little unwilling, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged slightly, but for a moment, he withered helplessly.

Hua Yue knelt in front of Li Jingyun when she went back, and asked for nothing else, just begged him to accompany the Zhuang family for two days at the end.

Li Jingyun's face was gloomy, but in the end, he still responded.

When Zhuang closed his eyes, Li Jingyun was also by his side, there were just two of them in the room, Zhuang looked at him fixedly, and suddenly there was focus in his cloudy eyeballs, she saw her child wearing an official uniform, and also saw his eyes looking down.

"No longer any longer?" He asked.

It was as if she was just going out. Zhuang couldn't help laughing, laughing and coughing again and again: "You are so promising, I am very relieved for my mother." ”

Li Jingyun didn't start, and said coldly: "Yes, you have been at ease with me since you were a child, and you won't worry about me when you are hot." ”

"I'm sorry, kid." She touched his hand with trembling fingertips, "Mother is sorry for you." ”

The Adam's apple rolled, Li Jingyun stiffened his neck, and his eyes were red.

"It's okay, I'm grown up anyway, and I won't bother with you anymore." He wiped his nose angrily, "So if you stay a little longer, I won't bother you." ”

"Don't you really think so?" She asked delightedly.

Li Jingyun shook her head, grabbed her trembling hand quite roughly, and slowly clenched it tightly.

Zhuang was happy, laughing like a child, and his face was glowing.

But it was only for a moment, and the light quickly went out, and even the whole person on the bed ran out.

The room was silent, except for the sound of breathing.

Li Jingyun sat with a straight face, his body in the empty room, and was pulled out by the sunset outside the window.

***

In the cool August, the general's mansion hung a white flag, and Wen Jizhi stood in the general's mansion and looked at the little sister-in-law whose eyes were as red as rabbits and the indifferent third master next to him, sighing.

"Why don't your third masters cry?" He was followed by a little girl from the imperial pharmacy, and asked in a chattering voice, "Isn't the deceased the master mother of this general's mansion?" Childe should cry more than the young lady. ”

Wen Zhizhi covered her mouth and gave her a silent gesture.

The third master has always refused to be soft with others, probably because he has nowhere to be coquettish since he was a child, and his flesh is also hard when you break his bones, and he will never show any weakness in front of outsiders.

Several of them have always felt the most sorry for the third master, and they all want to share some of it for him, but until now, the third master is still covering them, settling the difficult things at home for them, seeking official positions and finding a way out for them.

But thankfully, there are more people around him now.

"Eh, isn't that Miss Han?" The little girl broke his hand and pointed again, "Look, why is she here?" ”

When he looked at it, he saw Han Shuang wearing plain clothes and a white hairpin, and when he entered the door, he kowtowed twice in the mourning hall.

"Brother Jingyun." got up and walked to the side, Han Shuang bowed his head, "Mrs. Li, the two of you mourn." ”

Kazuki returned her favor.

I haven't seen her for a long time, Han Shuang's life doesn't seem to be very comfortable, and everyone looks a lot haggard, but her eyes haven't changed, and when she looks at Huayue, she still has deep hostility.

"There's one thing I want to tell the young lady."

Li Jingyun's face was still kind to the guests, but the words he spit out were sandwiched with ice slag: "Let's also tell the master." ”

"Okay." Han Shuang actually responded and pointed to the secluded corner next to him.
