When the rain had stopped coming out of the Lengwu Palace, the sky was blue like washing, the warm sunlight poured down through the clouds, covering the body but could not dispel the coolness around the body, as if it came up from the bottom of the heart, in addition to this long-lasting coldness, there was also a lingering doubt in the heart, that night in the middle of the encounter, although she was frightened not lightly, but still remembered that the woman's face made her have a very familiar feeling, as if where had she seen, today I took a closer look, and the feeling of déjà vu was stronger.

Moon Shadow shrunk her shoulders: "Niangniang, the cold Wu Palace is like a cold palace, which makes people's hearts cold, let's go back quickly, beware of the cold." ”

"Moonshadow, do you know who she is?"

"The slave maid only entered the palace this year, and I have only occasionally heard of it, but I don't know it very clearly, but don't worry, the slave maid will help you inquire."

Ye Jin nodded and didn't speak again, but his heart panicked inexplicably, and he involuntarily quickened his pace, and gradually ran up unconsciously, and Moon Shadow's anxious cry fell far behind him.

Panting and running back to the Changxi Palace, there was a burst of intermittent piano sound in the hall, the tune seemed familiar, Mingzi Su sat in the center of the hall, wearing an ink-colored robe, as lonely and cold as when he first saw it, lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes cast a pale shadow under his eyes, covering his emotions, his long sleeves hugged the body of the piano, and the sound of the piano was intermittent under the slightly trembling fingertips.

Ye Jin's footsteps paused at the door of the hall, Mingzi Su suddenly raised her head when she heard the sound, she bumped into the loss and sadness that he didn't have time to remove from his eyes, her heart suddenly shook, she lifted her footsteps and ran towards him quickly, got into his wide sleeved robe, climbed into his knees and put it into her arms, and said aggrievedly: "Are you angry......"

"Nope." His chin rested against the top of her smooth head and rubbed gently, his soft fingertips unconsciously ran the long hair loose on her back, and his tone was a little helpless: "I just don't know if it's right or wrong to let you enter the palace......

"Whether it's right or wrong, I've already entered the palace, it's useless to think about it, not to mention that this is where you grew up, with your truest appearance, I want to know everything about you, so I don't regret entering the palace, at least I'm closer to you....." She smelled the fragrance on his body and drilled into the depths of his arms.

Mingzi Su smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said, "The queen mother sent someone to summon you to ask questions, go and change your clothes, and I will accompany you." ”

Ye Jin reluctantly withdrew from his arms, and was about to get up, when a palace maid came in and reported that Ye Xiang had woken up, and asked Ming Zisu to take a look, the warmth on his face quickly faded, and he glanced coldly at the palace maid who was passing the word, so frightened that she quickly shrunk her neck and retreated.

"You'd better go and have a look, I'll just go see the queen myself......"

"The queen summoned you on the front foot, and the concubine woke up on the back foot, obviously expecting that I would accompany you and deliberately did it, I don't worry if I don't accompany you."

Seeing his condensed expression, Ye Jin no longer insisted, changed his clothes and went to Zhaoyu Palace with him.

Above the main hall, the queen was sitting upright, Fengyi was majestic, and in the center of the hall was a bloody figure with a lower body, gasping weakly, muttering in his mouth and begging for mercy.

"Don't look." He reminded her in a low voice, and took her to kneel down to greet the queen.

Nian Zhiyi slowly walked down from the hall with a gentle and dignified smile on her face, the end of her gorgeous robe dragged to the ground, and she picked up her wide sleeved robe to help Ye Jin up, holding her hand.

"I should have called you to ask earlier, but as soon as you entered the palace, you became ill, and the palace couldn't bear to disturb you, so it was delayed for two days, and now you are better?"

But he didn't tell Ming Zisu to get up.

She obviously had a gentle smile on her face, but Ye Jin had goosebumps inexplicably, and replied with a stiff neck: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine......"

Nian Zhiyi's face suddenly turned cold, and he pointed to the dying figure on the ground and said sharply: "Come on, drag the moon shadow down and scold it for twenty more!" ”

Ye Jin was stunned by her sudden change in painting style, and heard a familiar name in a daze.

What the?! Is that the Moon Shadow?!

"Wait! Why?! Ye Jin was in a hurry, and actually grabbed the queen's hand, and immediately let go and knelt down after reacting, not understanding why she was suddenly angry.

Nian Zhiyi changed her gentle smile to Ye Jin again: "As your personal maid, I didn't even mention the most basic rules to you, this is her dereliction of duty, and she should be punished, don't worry, this palace didn't order her to kill with a cane, so she wouldn't have been beaten to death." As she spoke, her eyes turned cold, and she looked at Mingzi Su, who had been kneeling on the ground and did not get up, and said, "Prince, did you say?" ”

"Yes."

Moon Shadow was dragged away, and the bright red blood trailed all the way down her lower body, Ye Jin's eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Look at you, why are you still crying, get up quickly, crying for a cheap, there is no master."

"She treats me very well and serves me very dedicatedly, I don't think she is derelict in her duties......" Ye Jin argued with a pale face, the hand in the cuff was held by Ming Zisu, and he motioned for her to be silent.

Nian Zhiyi smiled softly, waved her sleeves and turned around, and there was a looming viciousness in her slowly cold eyes: "What she should do is not just to slap the master, the master's mistake is the dereliction of duty of the slave, since you have entered the palace, the emperor named you the crown prince and concubine, then you should call the queen mother of the palace, and call yourself a concubine, where to go in the palace, where not to go, what to inquire, what not to inquire, these are all things that she, the personal maid, should mention you, but you don't know at all, it can be seen that the slaves around you are useless, The palace originally felt sorry for you, so I bothered to personally pick a sensible and experienced palace maid for you, but unfortunately the prince didn't like to kill the rod, otherwise how could he let you make mistakes after only a few days in the palace? ”

Ye Jin knelt on the ground and couldn't speak.

"Queen Mother......" As soon as Ming Zisu spoke, Nian Zhiyi interrupted him with a cold snort as if he had already expected it: "Zisu, you don't have to rush to protect your shortcomings, this palace knows that you have a deep relationship, in order to marry her, you can not want the position of the prince, how dare you easily condemn her, since you took her this time, this palace will only punish you when she first enters the palace, just now your father said that he wanted to come over, and you yourself received the punishment and you went to the apse to drive, this palace and Jin'er still have some things to say, some rules." , the palace still teaches her in person, so as not to lose the etiquette in front of the emperor one day, it will be bad. ”

After a few words, it doesn't leak.

“...... Be...... The retainers obeyed. The hand that Mingzi Su was shaking with Ye Jin in his sleeve was loose and tight, tight and loose, and after repeating for a long time, he finally let go with difficulty, got up and retreated.

The side was empty, and a trace of cold fear came up from the bottom of his heart, Ye Jin suddenly remembered Chu Mo's words that day, the queen's puppet prince, duckweed without roots, and a chess piece that struggled to walk alone in the deep palace.

Nian Zhiyi Shi Shiran sat down, told Ye Jin to get up, and gave her a seat under the phoenix couch.

"Since the prince took you there this time, this palace will not punish you, but this palace wants to remind you that if you have seen it, you will live in the palace, seven points of confusion and three points of sobriety, and too much pursuit of the root cause will cause disaster to yourself."

The tone was so relaxed that it seemed that she was just gossiping, but Ye Jin was frightened when she heard it, and her whole body was cold, and she only felt lucky, fortunately, she entrusted Ye Xuan to Yuqiu early and took it away.

After returning to the Changxi Palace, she didn't come to her senses for a long time, Ye Xiang came to visit her, she looked a little haggard, with a sickly appearance, but she obediently gave a salute to Ye Jin Yingying, and her voice was soft and gentle: "Say hello to my sister, my sister was frightened in Zhaoyu Palace, I'll come to see you." ”

Ye Jin came back to his senses and asked with concern: "Xiang'er?" Why are you here, I heard that you are sick, I want to see you but I am afraid that you don't want to see me, are you better? ”

"I don't have anything to do, please don't hold a grudge against the queen mother for today's matter, the mother is in charge of the harem, and she has to be more powerful, otherwise once the precedent of forgiveness is opened, the concubines will follow suit, and the rules in the palace will not become a fictum."

"Yes."

"But sister, you really have to change this habit quickly, my sister's maiden name is Yun Zhen, her title is Xian, you call me Xiang'er, so that others will hear it, and I don't know who will be punished, the rules of the palace, my sister still has to study hard, not for anything else, just for her own safety."

"Okay, I got it."

"And ...... My father didn't allow me to mention the things in the past, and he also hoped that my sister would be cautious about me. ”

"Okay, I got it."

"So...... Our relationship, please sister, don't let His Highness know......"

"Okay, I know...... Why? Ye Jin raised his blank face and asked suspiciously.

"If Your Highness knows about my relationship with you, he will definitely check it, then my past ......" Ye Xiang's voice gradually lowered, biting his lip and hanging his face in embarrassment, crying.

Ye Jin felt a pain in her heart, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and came down: "Okay, I promise you, don't worry." ”

Ye Xiang smiled, wiped his tears with his sleeves, hid the smile of unknown meaning in his eyes, and smiled heartlessly when he looked up again: "Okay sister, don't be depressed, I'll take you to the imperial garden to relax, it has just rained, the scenery must be good." ”

Ye Jin knew that she had the intention to make herself happy, and she couldn't bear to refute her interest, so she dragged her lazy body and followed her out of the door.

"Sister, look!" Ye Xiang sat on the edge of the pond with great interest, and sprinkled a handful of fish food into the pool, attracting red koi to compete for food, and gathered together to bloom smart flowers in the pool.

Ye Xiang turned around, looked at the limping figure not far away from the corner of his eye, and suddenly grabbed a handful of fish food and handed it to Ye Jin: "Sister, you try." ”

Ye Jin reached out to take it happily, and when his hands touched, Ye Xiang's center of gravity suddenly shifted, and his body leaned back and screamed and fell into the fish pond.

"Xiang'er ——!" The sudden accident frightened Ye Jin, she chased after Ye Xiang's figure in a panic and pounced on it, trembling on the edge of the pool, and stretched out her hand to Ye Xiang's struggling figure: "Xiang'er!" Give me your hand! Hurry up! ”

Ye Xiang struggled to hold her hand, but the person was getting farther and farther away from the edge of the pool, and the guards who came in a hurry went into the water one after another, but she had no strength and began to sink slowly.

Seeing Ye Xiang's figure disappear on the water, Ye Jin was dizzy, her eyes were closed and she was about to jump down, when suddenly a figure rushed over like an arrow and dragged her up and threw her aside: "What are you doing!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a splash in the pool, Ming Zisu jumped into the water, he dived into the water and groped for a while, and Ye Xiang, who was holding his eyes closed, got out of the water and went ashore wet.

"Hunan ...... Yun Zhen! Ye Jin anxiously rushed up and shook Ye Xiang's soft hanging arm to shake her awake, but was pulled away by Mingzi Su, he put Ye Xiang on the ground and lay flat, pressing on her chest.

Finally, she coughed, spit out a mouthful of water, woke up slightly, her white lips trembled, and she eagerly reached out and grabbed Ming Zisu's sleeve in shock: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand my sister, it's me who didn't stand firm, it wasn't her who pushed me, Your Highness, go and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." She shuddered and coughed violently.

"Do you know how to jump down in the water?" Ming Zisu coldly threw a sentence to Ye Jin, picked up Ye Xiang and hurriedly left.

Ye Jin stood in place and looked at Ming Zisu's back as he gradually walked away, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the excitement also discussed and gradually dispersed.

A gust of wind blew, and a chill came from all over his body, and Ye Jin realized that he was also wet, and turned around to change his clothes dejectedly.

Because she was curious to go to Lengwu Palace, Moon Shadow almost died after half her life, Mingzi Su knelt for two hours, her knee was injured, and she was lame for half a month, and Concubine Xian fell into the water for no reason, and her body has not healed so far.

And the rumors that the white-haired demon concubine caused unknown trouble in the East Palace quietly spread in the palace.
