I saw that on a woodland seven or eight feet away in front of me, two big men in black power suits were digging the ground with iron hoes, shovels and other tools, and a male corpse was lying upright on the ground on the side. The two were talking about something while digging, and it seemed that they were going to bury the corpse on the spot. Ying Xian paused for a moment, calmed down for a moment, and then tiptoed forward a few steps. Not far from the big man, he blocked his body with a giant cypress. She leaned behind the tree and pricked up her ears, but she still couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, only vaguely hearing "Gonggong Han" and "Master Li". Yingxian's heart was cold: This dead man actually has something to do with Han Gonggong. But I don't know why it's buried in this place? Although there were many doubts at this moment, he really didn't dare to get closer, nor did he dare to move his steps again, so he had to wait patiently.

Wait, wait, wait, finally wait for the two big men to dispose of the corpses. Unexpectedly, the two of them finished packing up and walked south. Yingxian stiffened his body, for fear that he would be discovered if he made the slightest movement. The two of them walked in a hurry, and when they passed the cypress tree, Yingxian's heart had already risen to his throat, and his hands grasped the trunk of the tree to control his breathing. Seeing the two of them walk through the narrow path beside them, revealing their sturdy backs, Yingxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked around to the other side of the cypress tree, but-

Yingxian didn't pay attention to his feet, and stepped on it, and the soles of his feet screamed. The two men turned their heads in fright, glanced at each other, and walked towards Yingxian's hiding place step by step. Nearer, closer; Through the branches of the cypress trees, Yingxian could even see their faces clearly, and one of them had a long scar on the left side of his face from the ear to the corner of his mouth, which was particularly sharp. Yingxian's heart was about to come out of his chest. Secretly scold yourself: Who told you to peek? It's all over now! I remembered Xiao Ningzi's advice again, and regretted it.

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, the two big men suddenly retracted their steps. The man with the scar looked down and grinned: "What did I say, it turned out to be a rabbit." The sound of the string quietly cast his gaze - a gray-haired creature crouched on the ground in front of him, struggling to move, as if he had just been trampled on by himself. When he was restless, another big man flashed his blade on the ground, and Ying Xian was startled, but he heard the man say: "I've been busy for so long and I'm hungry, why don't you kill this rabbit and take it home and roast it to eat?" The cold light flashed, blood splashed, and the poor hare had become a wronged soul.

The two men carried the hare and went away. Yingxian walked out from behind the tree in shock, staring at the rabbit blood, afraid and ashamed: I blamed me for eavesdropping, and this rabbit died because of me. Little Rabbit, Little Rabbit, you are my savior, and today I swear that I will never eat rabbit meat again. Then I thought: What should I do if these two people didn't find the rabbit just now? I'm afraid I have to take the initiative to jump out and pretend to be crazy and stupid, saying that I am looking for an escaped rabbit. As for whether they believe it or not, it depends on luck.

Yingxian quickened her pace and walked out of Qixiu Mountain, vigilant all the way, but she didn't meet the two big men again. Before returning to the princess's mansion, I went to Rong Bao Zhai to buy a double phoenix bead dotted cuichai as a rhetoric. As soon as I entered the door, I found a review of Huiyi. Huiyi picked it up and glanced at it a few times, and said, "Who is this for?" ”

“…… I saw that the princess was usually dressed too plainly, so I went to pick such a hairpin. Do you think she'll like it? ”

"The workmanship is quite exquisite. However, the princess never wears anything emerald, and I'm afraid you've forgotten about it. ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

Huiyi pointed to the bright emerald blue on the hairpin and said: "This emerald craftsmanship is simply to take the feathers on the kingfisher's body and stick it on this golden tray." In order to ensure the vivid color, the feathers must be plucked raw from the live bird. The princess would not hurt other creatures for the sake of this good look. ”

Yingxian suddenly realized: "I said why is this color so bright, but it turns out to be the feathers on the body of a live bird." If I knew that, I would have changed things. But...... I bought it now, and it's a pity to lose it. If the princess doesn't want it, I'll have to wear it secretly and play with it. After that, he inserted the pearl hairpin on his head, and the emerald light shimmered in his hair, which was very bright and lovely. Xiao Ningzi also came over at this time, and admired while watching.

Yingxian hurriedly said: "Xiao Ningzi, I was about to look for you. ”

After Huiyi left, Yingxian calmed down and asked about the origin of Han Gonggong. Xiao Ningzi replied: "Father-in-law Han has been serving in the palace for more than twenty years. The emperor entered the palace before he ascended the throne, and was later named the East Palace Bureau by the emperor, specializing in serving the prince. Later, he was transferred to the imperial eunuch, and he rose step by step, and now, he is the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch. ”

"Palm print eunuch? Well...... There is an impression. Is there an errand for the Son of Heaven to 'approve red'? ”

"I don't have that. No matter how capable the eunuch is, after all, he is only a minion. Emperor Shengming, how could he joke about such an important matter? ”

Ying Xianxin said: Even so, this Han Gonggong is really a big man in the inner court. I don't know what this male corpse on Qixiu Mountain has to do with him. I'm afraid I can only go into the palace and ask my sister.

After a shocking exclamation, Yingxian went to Yixin Hall to learn the piano today. After playing Professor Chu Shabai's tune, from the praise of Yinhe and Shaoyu, although she was through the screen, she already felt the master's approval.

******

On the third day, I had breakfast, but there was a light rain in the sky. Xiao Yinzi prepared the carriage and horses, found the coachman, and Situ Su and Yingxian both got into the car. Ying Xian asked, "But the princess is the old friend who took me to visit you?" ”

Situ Su wore a brand-new light-colored long skirt, reflecting the strings and not knowing its name, only to see that the pleats were quite complicated, the lines were gorgeous, elegant and blurred, like moonlight floating, adding to the fairy spirit. Hear her say, "It's raining today. But the date has been set, and it can't be changed. Come with me. As soon as the coachman flicked his horsewhip, the princess's mansion gradually faded from the sight of looking back. Ying Xian stared at Situ Su who was sitting on the side, and suddenly felt that she had a kind of pleasure of a bird coming out of the cage. asked her where she was going, but the second princess just smiled and said nothing.

chatted all the way, and finally arrived at the destination, and the two got off one after another. Yingxian couldn't have imagined that the place where Situ Su brought him was actually a hazy bamboo forest. The ten thousand poles of the high and low bushes are repaired, and the farther you go, the more mysterious it is. The bamboo leaves are swaying in the wind, and they are as straight as a mirage. A winding path is like a feather arrow inserted into the hinterland of the deep forest. Yingxian followed the second princess on the path, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and listened to the sounds of heaven played in the bamboo forest, as if she was no longer in the world.

After walking for a while, I suddenly came across two lakes, one large and one small, one long and one round, living next to each other. The rain fell from the sky, gently tapping the blue water, flashing subtle notes, and looking from afar, it was like the stitches of countless silver needles dancing on a piece of green flannel. A wooden bridge stretches out from the edge of the long pond to the center of the lake, and at the end there are two thatched-roof wooden pavilions, one slightly ahead, blocking a corner of the other. In the water not far away, there are two symmetrical boulders, each planted with grass and trees, swaying gently with the wind. A cloud of mist, drifting from nowhere, softly covered the pavilion and drifted away for a while; The bamboo forest behind has lost its color, leaving a faint line winding in the gray sky. The blue water and grass pavilion and the white cloud bridge, together with the misty rain and fog and the dense mountains and forests, are frozen into a beautiful ink painting at this moment, which makes Yingxian unbearable.

Less than half a mile away from the lake pavilion, a house faintly appeared. Situ Su stared and said, "It's here." "Hurry up and get to the edge of the fence. Yingxian looked up and saw the door plaque entitled "Han Cui Ju". The firewood had been opened, and a little boy with a double hair was waiting in front of the fence, and when he saw Situ Su, he bowed and said, "The princess is here, please come in." Ying Xian followed closely and followed the boy eastward. Walk through the shelves full of vine flowers like snow, the fragrance lingers, and you arrive at a hut.

When I entered the house, the room was not small, and the cloth was very simple. The surrounding walls are all bookshelves, and there are thousands of scrolls on the shelves. There is a bookcase on the west side, and the pen and paper are scattered randomly. In the center, there is a wooden table and three bamboo chairs, all of which are coarse and unpretentious. There is a tea set with a green bean color on the table. The yaoqin is placed in the window, but the incense burner is smokeless. I don't know if this house is a study or a living room.

The boy said, "Princess, please sit down for a moment." My master will be here right away. Please feel free to have some tea first. After that, he poured tea for the two of them and retreated. The smell of tea comes to the nose. Yingxian sat down, and saw that the tea soup was green, the water color was clear, and the leaves were soft and symmetrical. Picked up the teacup and took a sip, although the taste was fresh, it was still a little dull compared to the tea in the princess's mansion, and when she turned to look at the second princess, she saw that her expression remained unchanged while drinking tea and waiting.

Not long after, a man opened the curtain and said, "The princess has been waiting for a long time, forgive your sins." ”

Ying Xian got up and saw an elderly man in his sixties, standing tall with a long scroll in his hands. He was tall and thin, wearing a white cloth robe, and his clothes were fluttering. Long eyebrows into the sideburns, eyes are full of spirit, cheeks and frost beard, a faction of bones and fairy wind.

Situ Su said: "Mr. Jiyan, this is the Yingxian I told you. Yingxian, this is Mr. Jiyan. Yingxian said in her heart while giving a salute: It turns out that the old friend that the princess said is him. The princess had mentioned me to him, but today was the first time she had seen me. Hearing Mr. Jiyan say: "Sure enough, the spirit is clear and beautiful, and the aura is compelling." ”

The three of them took their seats, exchanged a few words, and Yingxian went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Jiyan, I must have told you that the princess must have told you that I had a strange illness not long ago, and I don't remember anything after I woke up. Drinking medicine is not good until now. It's confusing about this place. That's why I'm here to ask you about the current situation. ”

A strange expression appeared on Mr. Jiyan's face, and he said, "You are a woman, you don't care about makeup workers, but you care about the situation in the world?" Nonsense, nonsense. ”

Ying Xian was dumbfounded, and spoke out for a while: "Why can't women care about the situation in the world?" Is there a word written in this world: 'Women don't ask'? ”

Mr. Ji Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Si Chen, it is a sign of great chaos, it has been the case since ancient times. Girl, it's not the old man who makes things difficult for you, even if you know the situation in the world, what's the use?

"Si Chen, it's just the ignorance and prejudice of the historian. Not to mention that the Empress of Heaven inherited the rule of Zhenguan, and opened the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, is there still less heroines and heroes in the boudoir since ancient times? The woman is good to go east and west, and open up territory for the Shang king Wuding. There is no salt and ugly appearance, but the ability Chen Qi is in danger, and he is the queen with talent and virtue. Zhaojun's exit from the fortress ensured the peace between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu for decades. Empress Dowager Feng came to the dynasty to control the system, and promoted the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The merits of these women for the country and the people are not necessarily worse than those of men. Ying Xian gradually raised his voice, and glanced at Situ Su again as he spoke. But she buried herself in the tea, and didn't seem to care.

"Besides, I don't have any big ambitions, but the princess said that now several countries stand side by side, and there are often wars. If one day, I accidentally fall into the hands of a foreigner, but I don't even know whether the other party is friend or foe, how can I protect myself? I only said that Mr. is an old friend of the princess, and there must be a high opinion, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came, I was confined to the difference between men and women, and I was condescending, which made me ...... Hehe, I'm disappointed. ”

Mr. Jiyan smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Princess, this little friend of yours is very sharp-toothed. Situ Sunai said: "Yingxian, Mr. is just testing you, don't be rude." ”

Test me? Before Yingxian could react, Mr. Jiyan got up and moved and hung the long scroll he was holding when he entered the room on the wall. Yingxian's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned over to look. Mr. Jiyan shook off, and a map appeared in front of him. Although the drawings are yellowed due to age, the outline is still very clear...... Its borders, mountains, rivers, and important towns are all marked one by one. The three characters in block letters above the map are clearly in sight - "Shiyu map".
