September 21 of the first year of Yonghui.

Yin.

Heavy rain.

In front of the Taiji Palace Lizheng Palace, there is a white expanse, and the thin rain silk is intertwined into a water curtain like snow and ice, covering the heaven and earth, also called a red wall and Uwa, and the eaves sweep the wall into a virtual image......

Like heaven and earth, there is only rain and only water.

Wu Meiniang stood in front of the hall, dressed in plain white, wearing a fine hat, ignoring the droplets that fell on the eaves and immediately shattered into powder, wetting her sleeves and skirts little by little, just coldly looking at the rain that was so big that it had swallowed the heavens and the earth.

"Sister, it's raining so hard, you better go back to the temple early. Don't stay there and get cold again. ”

Ryan hugged the white jade and slowly approached behind her, looking at this woman who was obviously petite, but always made people look up to her.

Mei Niang was silent, and only after a while in the rumbling of rain did she ask softly and clearly:

"Concubine Xiao seems to be moving, what is she doing?"

When Ryan heard this, his heart sank:

In the end, I still can't hide it from her.

With a long sigh, Ryan said:

"Seemingly......

seems to be looking for Xu Jieyu......

Most likely to get some inside information about Sister Xu's death from Jieyu, so as to counteract the queen......

Sisters don't have to be angry, haven't they always been like this? ”

“…… Yes, they always have. ”

Mei Niang listened to Ryan's answer, was silent for a long time, and then said softly:

"Don't say it's them, it's me, it's Jiro...... Isn't that the case......

This Tai Chi Palace......

This Tang Dynasty court......

How many people are not?

So......

I just want to put Suqin and Hui'er...... I want to protect them well......

Keep them away from these ......

These things! ”

In the last sentence, Mei Niang's voice lowered slightly.

Ryan didn't dare to speak—

Mei Niang at this moment, for some reason, taught him an unbearable sense of oppression......

It's like......

Right! It's like facing the first emperor Taizong in anger and the current lord......

It's like......

Ryan was startled, and suddenly realized how perverse his thoughts were, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he only said softly:

"Sister rest assured, the Lord has long known that he will definitely not let her succeed."

Mei Niang was silent, and it seemed to be to Ryan for a long time, and it was more like saying to herself:

"Always teach him to come...... How much more can he do? ”

Ryan hesitated, but finally spoke:

"Sister, you ...... Is there any measurement? ”

Mei Niang was silent for a long time, and the sound of rain rumbled, covering all her voices.

The breath was so cool that it was almost cold, enveloping her whole body, as if this rain had a heart, to isolate her from everything in this world, completely isolate.

Even Ryan, who has always been good at perceiving her thoughts, looked at this woman in plain white light clothes and standing in the rain with clouds flowing, like a fairy in the palace.

After a long time, Mei Niang said lightly:

"Whether it's a plan or a quantity, she can't always have another chance to find Suqin's anxiety."

In her snow-white wide sleeves, she slowly raised a slender hand that was almost transparent in the gray-blue skylight, which was as white as cold water, and in the palm of her hand, a green jade bottle was quietly parked:

"At half past three tonight, you entered the Qianqiu Palace, Concubine Xiao's dormitory from the secret passage.

She had been lit for many years by a furnace of carmine, which seemed to be her favorite thing, and which she never left every day, and she dropped two drops in the ashes......

Remember, two drops are enough.

Ryan, this matter is urgent, you must do it, and no one else touches it.

As for Concubine Xiao......

Tonight she will leave her dormitory for a while at the middle of the third watch......

Do you understand? ”

Listening to Mei Niang's blade-like words, Ryan felt a chill all over, and he didn't have the courage to take the bottle for a while.

Mei Niang saw that he didn't move, and she didn't look back, and said lightly:

"You can rest assured......

Although I also wondered if it would be better for me if she died......

But the only person I want to kill is the queen and the king...... She...... I don't want to see her die yet, at least not at our hands.

So what is contained here is only some medicine, some medicine that will keep her from troublesome Suqin for a long time. ”

When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, took it, and then said:

"Sister, Ryan is just worried about ......"

"Don't worry, I still have to accompany Jiro well, and I also have to watch you and Wen Niang grow old together...... So I'm not going to teach myself that something is wrong. ”

Mei Niang finally turned around:

"Tonight's third watch, in the Thousand Autumn Palace, there will be resentful spirits again-

However, it is different from what Concubine Shuniang expected to see, the innocent palace people who were burned to death by the queen and the queen......

These evil spirits have come to find her......

Do you understand? ”

Ryan suddenly said:

"Sister peace of mind! Ryan will definitely get this done! ”

……

September 21 of the first year of Yonghui.

Night.

Midnight.

Tai Chi Palace.

It was night, the rain stopped, and only the sound of the wind chirped.

In the Qianqiu Palace, there were suddenly bursts of women screaming, like ghosts crying and ghosts screaming......

In an instant, there was a great chaos in the Qianqiu Palace.

When the riot started, Li Yu, the leader of the Jinwuwei who had been patrolling for a long time, immediately rushed into the Qianqiu Hall and blocked the inside and outside.

Under the cry of Yao'er, the palace man on Concubine Xiao Shu's side, Li Yu immediately led the soldiers into the inner bed with a knife, and ordered the left and right guards to invite out Concubine Xiao Shu, who was already frightened, and then personally stood at the door of the inner dormitory, firmly guarding the inner bed, to see if anyone was making a ghost here.

At this time, no one expected that the wall behind Xiao Shufei's bed suddenly cracked a very thin and tiny crack that was only the size of a fist.

Then, a hand crept out from here, and slowly, slowly, stretched aside a green jade bottle with the lid open, and on the incense burner that was still smoking, on top of the hollowed-out patterns, and then, tilting......

Two drops of colorless, tasteless, water-like and extremely viscous liquid, flickering in the candlelight of the hall, dripped, into the incense burner.

After two drops, the hand slowly straightened up, and was about to retract it, but it stopped again and turned it again......

The third drop of liquid, again dripping from the bottle, drips into the incense burner.

Next.

Heavy rain returned.

Wanchun Palace.

The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the queen always gets up very early.

However, today's rain and rain, although it is not as pouring down as yesterday, but in the end, it is also too much for people to lift their spirits.

It was because the queen was not like in the past, she dressed up and dressed up early, sat in the palace to read, or took care of flowers, but held a cup of tea, a red robe, revealing a snow-white neck, round shoulders, and lazily looked at the Hu Tu standing in front of her:

"What do you mean...... It's true? ”

Hu Tu took a step forward, bent down and lowered his eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it?

Last night, the master of the Qianqiu Hall was so frightened that the chickens, cats and dogs barked without saying anything, and alarmed the Jin Wuwei who were on duty outside the hall, and rushed into the inner bed to guard for a long time, and he didn't see the evil ghost she said......

Hum!

According to Hu Tu, eighty percent of them have done too many things that are unfortunate, so they are scared! ”

The queen lifted her eyelids, glanced at him lazily, and said leisurely:

"Who in this Taiji Palace dares to say that he has not done anything wrong?

Why did you just find her?

Bengong felt that he was afraid that someone had been wronged by her before, and wanted to take this opportunity to seek some justice for himself...... It seems to be true. ”

Hu Tu smiled and said yes repeatedly, while the slave saw this, he couldn't help but say:

"Then Niangniang, do we want to find out who this person is, and then take it for our own use?

As the so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend......"

Queen Wang glanced at her, thought for a moment, shook her head and said:

"Still not good......

In the final analysis, although the current palace is in such a situation because of Concubine Xiao Shu's own death, she has escaped from such a situation......

But in the end, the fire in the Qianqiu Hall has not been cleaned up, so it is better to do less nonsense.

Moreover, the tree is falling and scattering, and the people's hearts are like this, so there is really no need to urge too much, and she has countless hardships. ”

When the slave and Hu Tu heard this, they naturally knew that the queen was still taboo about this trouble, but they really borrowed some signs of the fire in Concubine Xiao Shu's Qianqiu Hall a few days ago......

is pretending not to know, and praising the wisdom of the king and queen.

After listening to it once, she was tired of listening to it, so she said:

"In the final analysis, this Concubine Xiao Shu is not the most important person at the moment......

The one who built the palace is the one who has always been in trouble......

How is it?

Can you find out what? ”

The slave immediately crossed his hands and saluted, and said:

"Back to Niangniang, I have inquired about everything I can, but it's a pity that although Wu Meiniang's mother and sister are all unlucky, a few brothers who have inherited the heir have nothing to choose from......

In addition, the uncle of the Yuan Dynasty also seems to have some intentions, trying his best to suppress their Wu clan......

Rong Lianu said something from his heart, it's really not that we don't want to find some mistakes in him, but there is no chance to find them at all. ”

Queen Wang nodded, but she also understood:

"In the final analysis, the eldest grandson Wuji is also guarding against her, and the palace has also heard that the only person she is close to her mother's family is her father, who died early.

Now that her father is dead, she has cut off contact with her mother's family......

Alas! That's it, Ben just wants to try.

That......

What about the rest of the place?

But what is the best place to start? ”

The slave saluted again:

"That's where it is!

In the early years, this Wu Meiniang was in the palace, and she had a very close relationship with the concubine Xu of the first emperor, as well as the old Zhaoyuan Yuan family, who was most loved by the first emperor and specially given the status of Empress Wende's maiden to the mausoleum, so the slave took someone to check the two families.

That Xu's family...... It's okay, but it's the Yuan family, and there seems to be some movement recently. ”

The queen immediately opened her eyes:

"What's going on?"

"General Yuan has only one daughter, which is the old Zhaoyuan Yuan, but for some reason, in recent days, he suddenly brought a little daughter who was very similar to the old Zhaoyuan Yuan into the house, saying that she was born to his concubine outside......

And it is said that it was also promised to the sword master on His Majesty's side, Li De, the second son of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo......

This is ...... No matter how the slave looks, he feels a little strange. ”

Queen Wang immediately sat up straight, and said:

"Make it clear."

"Yes!"

The mercy slave was blessed with a blessed body, and this is the right way:

"Niangniang, do you know that the general of the Yuan clan is the most sincere to his wife. In his early years, because of the fact that the lady of the main room only had a daughter, and could not have children to inherit the family business, I don't know how much anger he had with the old family and how many incidents came out, and finally the first emperor and Empress Wende came to help, first brought Mrs. Yuan into the palace, and then the Yuan family since childhood in the Yuan general's mansion a fatherless and motherless distant child also into the Beijing Forbidden Garden hidden for a full year, and then said that it was born to Mrs. Yuan, this is it.

Although this matter is very secret, even the old Zhaoyuan only treats his younger brother as his own son, but in the end, many people know about it......

Why did a daughter born to General Yuan appear outside for no reason at this time?

This matter really made the poor slave puzzled, so he checked it again, and found that the little lady of Yuan was actually picked up by Li Dexuan from a place outside Chang'an City called Luoyue Villa and sent to the Yuan Mansion......

Niangniang, do you know whose property is that Falling Moon Villa? ”

Queen Wang's expression moved:

"Who?"

"It is the first queen Wende Niangniang, in her youngest son born on the first birthday, the first emperor to give the word seal (the word of the prince in the Tang Dynasty was to be set at the first birthday, written by the emperor himself in the post, sealed, this is called the word seal) on the day of the big day, personally selected, and given to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had just turned one year old at that time-

That is, our current majesty's! ”

Queen Wang's face changed dramatically in an instant!!
