The early sun of spring was soft, through the slight mist of the morning, and shot into the woman lying on the big bed in the room, Qing Ning's eyes moved, and slowly opened her eyes in a haze.

The completely unfamiliar environment makes Qing Ning a little at a loss, here is splendid, the roof is carved with gold, the windows are made of white marble, and even the gray ground is slightly reflected with a little silver brilliance, probably with a layer of silver plating, what is even more shocking is the bed under her, with diamonds as support, the extremely rare soft mahogany in the South China Sea as the bed surface, the quilt ice silkworm quilt, plus the ivory pillow, the gold house is not as luxurious as here!

Qing Ning sat up and put on her shoes, and when she walked to the mirror, she found that all the clothes on her body had been changed, the water blue moire skirt, the outer garment was a pure white gauze dress, and the hem of the clothes had fallen to the ground and had been taken off three feet, this outfit was worn by a woman from the British royal family if she remembered correctly.

She quietly looked at herself in the mirror, thinking of the group of black-clothed people who appeared when she and Mu Ling fell off the horse together, and the man in white clothes that month, Jiyang, that man was obviously Jiyang.

It was he who gave her the best love for the first time, and it was he who used all her sincerity to break through the city gate and behead her under the horse, making her feel how cold the battle for the country was for the first time.

That memory, such a heart-rending pain, she still doesn't want to recall it.

Qing Ning suddenly closed her eyes and quieted her heart in the darkness, looking for a moment of peace, she turned around and walked out step by step, Mu Ling was arrested with her, if she was brought here after Ji Yang sowed that hand*, then Mu Ling must also be here.

"Girl, why don't you call yourself a slave when you get up! But are you hungry, or do you want to drink water? A slave maid who had just entered the door saw Qing Ning wake up, and immediately put down the food in her hand and hurried to serve her.

Qing Ning ignored her words, but stood in place and asked coldly, "What about Jiyang?" ”

"Girl" The slave maid was suddenly frightened when she heard this, and her face changed slightly, and she reminded: "How can you call the emperor by his name?" Even if the emperor favors you, you can't call it that! Otherwise, it will make the other concubines ......"

"I ask you what about Jiyang?" Qing Ning stared at her a little anxiously, this maid obviously regarded her as a concubine of Jiyang, she hated him too late, how could she be willing to stay here as a concubine all the time.

Qing Ning's voice mixed with anger and coldness made the maid's heart tremble, and then she didn't dare to persuade her again, and said hesitantly: "Emperor, the emperor is ...... him"

"Where?" Qing Ning still didn't relax at all and stared at the servant girl and asked, the servant girl was a little scared by her forced questioning, and took two steps back slightly before standing up and saying, "The last morning court hasn't come back yet." ”

After Qing Ning heard this, he immediately stepped out of the door quickly, and disappeared in front of the servant girl at a fast speed.

The maid leaned on the table and slightly sorted out the frightened emotions just now, and looked at Qing Ning strangely, how many concubines in the palace squeezed their heads and wanted to enter this house built by the emperor with the treasures of the world, how could this woman abandon it like a shoe?

Outside the door are two large pools with a few lotus leaves floating inside, which means waiting for the arrival of summer before blooming.

Qing Ning didn't pay attention to the scenery on the side, but walked all the way through the imperial garden to the council hall, Chi Ying's back garden originally had many curves, and the arrival of spring covered the sight, Qing Ning turned around twice and got lost in the intricate palace road.

had no choice but to catch a little palace maid and ask for directions, but the palace maid was both disdainful and afraid when she saw her, but she deliberately refused to speak.

"This slave is waiting in this area, and I don't dare to go to the front hall! Girl. ”

"Don't dare? Still don't want to take me there? Qing Ning stared at her and asked, with an aggressive posture.

"Girl, you are all people who live in the emperor's golden house, don't embarrass the slave maid, the slave maid is real......"

"It's different when you get power, you live in a golden house and start making things difficult for slaves and maids at will, and you don't see whose family it is, it's really what it looks like." An unfriendly voice came, with a little sharpness, and Qing Ning raised his eyes to look at the person.

Dressed in a pink dress, with a few butterflies embroidered on the hem behind her, she looks very delicate as a woman, but why does she always feel that this woman's nose is very similar to her?

"I'm just looking for...... I'm just looking for your emperor. Qing Ning said in a calm tone.

"Looking for the emperor, didn't the emperor rest in the golden house last night? You really have the face to come out to find the emperor again. The woman said sarcastically: "I don't know how to call my sister when I meet, I really don't understand the rules." ”

"You ......" Qing Ning became more and more anxious, she was worried about Mu Ling, she was worried that if she was late, Mu Ling would encounter something unexpected, after all, after the destruction of the Bairui Domain, the poison art spread in all directions, and the country that inherited their poison art the most was the neighboring Chi Britain.

Qing Ning didn't want to waste time with her here, so she could only call her sister first, and then asked very calmly: "Do you know where the emperor is?" ”

"Hmph" The woman glanced at her disdainfully, turned around and sat on the stone bench on the side, looked at Qing Ning from head to toe and continued: "It's useless for you to look for it in such a hurry, the person the emperor has a crush on is the female prince of Beichen, you count the green onion, I see you ......"

"How? I see who dares to touch her in this palace. Suddenly, a gentle and familiar voice sounded, and the woman, who was originally sitting on the stone bench, suddenly became respectful, and immediately knelt down and saluted after looking at Qing Ning.

Qing Ning turned around when she heard the sound, and saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a straight nose, phoenix eyes shining between Gu Pan, and that thin lip always rose into a very good-looking arc, after many years, I didn't expect to see him again It would still shock her heart: "Don't come to harm, Jiyang." ”

"I said yesterday that no one in this palace is allowed to embarrass her, do you take my words as a deaf ear?" Ji Yang's eyes suddenly became much more fierce, staring at the woman kneeling on the ground.

The woman was not convinced, she had also received countless favors from the emperor, but until the woman arrived, she fell out of favor overnight, how did she accept it: "Your Majesty, the emperor's concubines know that they are wrong." ”

The woman had a soft expression begging for mercy, and continued to whisper: "But don't forget, Your Majesty, she is just a stand-in like a concubine, and the emperor is not worth it to hurt God for a stand-in." ”

She wanted to remind Ji Yang that the woman he was desperately protecting now was just a stand-in for the prince of Zhiyang, and she was as worthless as her.

"Heh" Ji Yang looked at the gradually smug expression of the woman on the ground and smiled and said, "Who is the stand-in?" You, including all the concubines in this palace, are just her stand-ins. ”

"What? Could it be that she is ......" The woman who was kneeling on the ground seemed to suddenly think of something, and she was stuck in her throat in the middle of her words, but she didn't dare to say it, and her eyes immediately retreated with some timidity.

At this time, Jiyang looked at Qing Ning and said with concern: "I haven't been here for a long time!" I heard the waiting maid say that you are looking for me. ”

His voice is still as warm and beautiful as before, but to Qing Ning today, it sounds like a knife hidden under cotton, killing people invisibly.
