Moon Shadow asked hesitantly, "Niangniang, this is the Lengwu Palace, the place you said should be here, what are you doing here?" I heard that there seems to be a concubine who has been sick and out of favor for a long time, and she is forbidden to come out, and others can't avoid it, so let's not go to such an unfortunate place......"

Ye Jin glanced at her, stepped forward and pushed open the door, and there was a sense of defeat and desertion, there was no vitality in spring and summer at all, but there was a bit of depression in autumn and winter, and some treescape flower pots were stacked in the courtyard, falling all over the dead branches and leaves, covered with silt after the rain and no one cleaned it, and the whole palace seemed deserted and dilapidated.

An older palace maid stood under the raindropping porch, looked at the dirty ground melancholy and said: "Shouldn't we find a time to clean up this yard, it's okay on a sunny day, this rain will be full of sewage, and .....there is no place to put your feet down."

A little palace maid with plain hair in a bun didn't know where to turn out and answered: "I climbed on the roof today and saw that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming very well, and the colors are very good-looking, Aunt Qiuhuan, why don't we also plant some in the courtyard, and we can also add some color to our palace, Mama Qi, do you say okay?" ”

"It's good, of course, it's good, but you don't know that in these days when Niangniang was grounded and fell out of favor, the inner court didn't provide us with anything except the daily medicinal and dietary materials, and even the clothes for the summer season of Niangniang were made by ourselves, let alone what to spend." Qiuhuan sighed.

"But no, it's going to be cool in autumn, and I don't give anything, I really don't know how to spend the winter." A little eunuch also joined the discussion, "This morning I came out of the inner court and met Xiaoyingzi of Fanghua Palace, this kid is now following Fang Guiren on an errand, seeing that I am arrogant, I think we were not so angry when our master was favored, now Fang Guiren is pregnant again, Feng Concubine is afraid that it will be sooner or later, if a prince is born in the next year, it is not impossible to be a concubine, look at us again, alas, ......"

Qiu Huan immediately sank his face: "What are you talking about!" How troublesome it is for the mother to hear it! If outsiders hear about it, they will look down on us even more, and if you are in a panic, go to the backyard to collect some firewood and prepare it for the next year. ”

"Who hears it, who else will come to our palace to find bad luck......," the little eunuch muttered unconvinced.

How could a slave despise his master like this, Ye Jin frowned and was about to speak, when suddenly a familiar voice came from his side.

"Bad luck?"

The little eunuch looked over, and was stunned for a while before he slowly knelt down in disbelief: "Too... His Royal Highness the Prince! You..... How did it come? ”

The pale yellow figure slowly entered through the door, Ming Zisu passed past her without squinting, and walked straight into the courtyard, staring at the figure of the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, his pupils constricted slightly, and his eyes were cold.

"Give...... Greetings to His Highness......" The only three minions in the Lengwu Palace all knelt down.

Ming Zisu stood with his hands in his hands, and said in an indifferent tone: "Since you are unlucky, it is better to go to the criminal court to get rid of bad luck." ”

The little eunuch sat on the ground with a weak body, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave lost his words for a while, and begged His Highness to spare his life......"

Mama and the little palace maid quickly knelt down to intercede for him.

"Your Highness, please be gracious, spare Xiao Qizi this time, he is also dedicated on weekdays, there are not many people available in front of Niangniang, and there are many inconveniences without him, Your Highness will allow him to atone for his sins."

"That's it." Ming Zisu actually eased his expression and stopped pursuing it, and moved towards the dormitory.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The little eunuch thanked him with a pale face, until Ming Zisu's figure disappeared behind the door, he collapsed to the ground, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a frightened face, "Aunt Qiuhuan, Zhuying, pull me by the hand, my legs don't obey the call......"

Zhuying ran over quickly, pulled him up with Qiuhuan, and asked curiously, "Auntie, where is the criminal court?" ”

"Where you don't die, you have to peel off your skin......" replied the little eunuch murmured.

Ye Jin's heart froze, and she followed Mingzi Su's long and straight back and disappeared behind the door of the dormitory in a daze, and a trace of strangeness suddenly floated in her heart, for the first time, she felt so clearly that he was so different from before, he was indeed not the young man called Ying Shangrong she knew.

In the past, the shadow was silent, and she was kind to her.

Ming Zisu in front of him only said a few words to determine life and death.

"I haven't come to see the princess yet!"

Ye Jin was in a trance, and Moon Shadow startled her with a coquettish reprimand

The three frightened minions came over to say goodbye again tremblingly, looking at each other, what day is today, even their Lengwu Palace is lively, and the crown prince and princess are here.

Ye Jin instructed them to get up, let Moon Shadow wait in place, and followed Ming Zisu into the dormitory alone, maybe just to get closer to him and see him more clearly.

She stopped at the door of the dormitory, and saw a woman lying quietly on the couch from a distance, covered with white gauze, only revealing a pair of closed eyes, unable to see her face clearly, and Mingzi Su stood quietly in front of the bed, silent, silent for a while, and left quietly, when she passed by her, Mingzi Su didn't seem to pause at all, as if there was another moment of sideways glance, as if it was just her illusion, and when she came back to her senses, his figure had disappeared outside the door.

The dormitory was very cold, without a trace of popularity, Ye Jin touched the tea cup on the table, the tentacles were cold, the windows were also broken, the cold wind mixed with the rain came in, she shouldn't have felt cold, but she shivered, constantly thinking about Mingzi Su's expression when he left, quiet and indifferent, but his eyes were full of forbearance and anger.

Obviously, he cared about this person, and if that was the case, why would he let her fall into such a situation?

Ye Jin curiously approached the bedside to take a closer look, only to see a terrifying scar winding down from the woman's eyebrow bone all the way to the corner of her lips, hidden under the looming white gauze scarf, almost occupying the entire left side of her face.

Sure enough, it was her, the woman who scared her half to death that night and was also scared half to death by her.

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!" ”
