The Empress Dowager Palace is the third largest building in the Yandu Palace, second only to the main hall and the Yanhou Palace, it stands lonely directly behind the palace, and there is not even a room for resting around.

There is only one corridor leading to the back garden, but there is no shelter in the corridor, and the northwest wind blows whistling, which stimulates people to tighten their necks, and they want to make a hole in the ground to get in.

In each room of the palace, charcoal fires are lit in winter, warm as spring, but the outside of this house is insulated from warmth, inside and outside the house, one hot and one cold, ice and fire are opposite, it is simply two worlds.

Su Qin kept walking around the Empress Dowager's Palace, not daring to relax, he saw that the guards who followed him were very hard, so he asked them to change shifts and rest.

He himself cheered up, and when he was sleepy, he leaned on the pillar and took a nap, not daring to let others see it, for fear that someone would tell Tang Qi in the middle book.

Wu Jing and the others found out that Su Qin had made a lot of money this time, and they were desperate, and they also worked hard to help him relieve the cold and fatigue, and kept sending equipment such as stoves, hot water, and thick clothes.

Relying on the strong support of Wu Jing and others, Su Qin persevered.

Su Qin stayed around the Empress Dowager all day before he noticed that the palace maids of the Empress Dowager Palace were all wrapped in black gauze, covering half of their faces. Su Qin thought at first that it was the first monarch who had just mourned, and these palace maids and the queen mother were all mourning for the first monarch.

But in the daylight of the third day, he found that some of the palace ladies who came and went were not so strict, they showed their faces, and they laughed and played with each other.

Su Qin felt a little strange, according to common sense, these laughing palace maids would definitely be severely punished, how dare they be so presumptuous. But why are they so bold? The queen mother is open to them, but she is strict with other palace maids.

Why is this and is there some secret hidden inside?

With a strong inquiring mentality, Su Qin intentionally or unintentionally approached the palace maids covered in black veils, but it was really strange: when those palace maids saw Su Qin, they seemed to have met a tiger, and hurriedly turned their heads and left, avoiding from afar.

Su Qin couldn't help but be even more surprised, and he was also determined to find out.

This afternoon, Su Qin was waiting in the corner of the right side of the Empress Dowager's palace, observing the movement at the palace gate, he wanted to wait for those palace maids covered with black veils to come out, and he pretended to bump into them head-on, blowing away the black veil on their heads, and seeing what the hell was going on.

Anyway, pretending that he was unintentionally bumped into, he accidentally lifted the veil of their mystery, even if the Queen Mother and others traced it, he had his own reasons to justify, and no one could investigate his fault.

Coincidentally, Su Qin had just stood in the corner of the wall for less than a quarter of an hour when he saw a palace maid covered in black gauze walking out of the palace gate and walking towards the corner of the wall on the right.

Su Qin stood there nervously, waiting for her to pass by.

The palace maid did not expect that there was an ambush in the corner, and she walked forward by herself, sometimes moving the black veil, carefully examining the road in front of her, for fear of stepping on the potholes on the road and falling to the ground.

Just as she turned the corner, Su Qin suddenly walked out from the side, he pretended to slip on the soles of his feet, and pounced on the palace maid's body, and at the moment when Su Qin's body was about to touch her, he held his strength and let out a long breath.

The black gauze was very thin and light, and when it was blown by Su Qin, it was completely lifted in an instant, Su Qin looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, and he shouted: "It turned out to be you, Hua Wan, why are you here." ”

The palace maid was hit by Su Qin, she was already very shocked, and she was blown up the black veil again, and when she saw her true face, she was even more frightened, and she was called out by Su Qin again, which was completely out of proportion.

She defended in a panic: "You, what are you talking about, who, who is Hua Wan, I am not her." ”

After the palace maid finished speaking, she was in a hurry to move forward again, Su Qin stretched out her arm to stop her, and said, "Hua Wan, you have followed me for so long, how can I not recognize you, although you have also grown up and your appearance has changed slightly, but your general appearance has not changed." Why don't you dare to admit it? ”

Su Qin could almost completely conclude that the palace maid in front of her was Hua Wan from the music and dance class she brought out of Quwo, but why didn't she admit her identity, she treated them well back then, and now she has no intention of harming them, so why should she refuse?

Suddenly, he thought of a person in his heart, a woman he used to be so familiar with, and he wondered a little about the reason.

Hua Wan listened to Su Qin's question, her body paused for a moment, and she stood there, as if she was a little hesitant, because her face was covered by the falling black veil, and Su Qin couldn't see her expression.

But it was this simple pause and hesitation that Su Qin could see that her heart had fluctuated violently. He was even more determined that his eyes were not wrong.

The one who didn't know how to answer Su Qin for a while, wanted to leave but was stopped by Su Qin, and the two were at a stalemate for a moment.

Su Qin said: "If my guess is right, the Queen Mother you are following should be Princess Yingyi of the Qin Kingdom." She married Yan Wengong, so she brought the girls from your music and dance class to Yan Kingdom together! ”

Hua Wan originally wanted to get rid of Su Qin and move on, but when she heard Su Qin's words, she was stunned.

Su Qin saw that Hua Wan listened carefully, and completely concluded that his guess was a true fact.

Su Qin continued: "I only now understand that Tang Qi always can't get along with me for anything, it turns out that he was instructed by Ying Yi to deliberately embarrass and torture me. Alas, if I knew this, why should I resist, even if I was asked to patrol for her for a year and a half, without sleeping or sleeping, I was also willing. After all, I left her in the Qin State back then. ”

Hua Wan listened quietly, tears already oozing from the black veil on her face, and they flowed down from the veil one by one.

Su Qin then said: "Even a few girls and boys in your music and dance class, I don't live with you, I took you out of Quwo and gave them to others halfway. ”

He sighed lightly and said, "When I left the Qin State back then, I didn't care about you at all, and I didn't even know where you were the last. Every time I think about it, I feel so guilty. ”

Hua Wan was still listening quietly, but the black yarn in front of her was completely wet with tears and almost stuck to her face. She sobbed softly.

Su Qin was already in tears as he spoke, he restrained his sadness and comforted Hua Wan: "Don't cry, it's so rare to see each other again." I'm glad to see that you're all grown up and living well. ”

His heart was like a knife, and he said: "You go and do something, and when you return to the palace in a while, please tell Princess Yingyi that I, Su Qin, am willing to patrol for her until she is satisfied." ”
