Xu Hewei's personal maids are seven or eight, all of whom have seen the world. Manju is the leader of it, and everyone else has to be appointed by her. After her emotions stabilized, Manzhu showed the dignity of Omiya's daughter, spoke without hurry or slowness, and answered Lianyi's question: "On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, our Highness had a nightmare. It was the slave and maid who were on duty that night, and it was almost time at that time, so I thought about calling His Highness to get up. His Royal Highness was still a little awake for a while, as if he had a fever, and said a few nonsense. ”

Manju paused and observed Lianyi's face.

Lianyi just nodded, not surprised.

It is said that when he was a child, he did this, and he had a dream and told an adult, and then it came true. Of course, in this dream, there are nightmares. Whenever I had this kind of nightmare, the eldest aunt would hold the lotus flavor in her arms and call, and she could still talk to her daughter who had not fully woken up.

And, how often do you dream? When will the dream come true? What happens after it has been fulfilled? Not necessarily.

More often than not, Hewei doesn't dream, but he can also make amazing words. For example, once that year, the Xu family held a birthday banquet, and because she was too young to attend, she was taken by the nurse on the embroidery floor, and opened the window to watch the excitement from afar. In the bustling city, Hewei's little finger suddenly pointed to a figure that was so small that he couldn't see who was who, and said to the nurse, "This Lord Ouyang is going to be dismissed." ”

The nurse hurriedly threatened and gagged her with sugar melons. Afterwards, I didn't dare to tell others, but I had to quietly report it to the master of the house. Two months later, this prophecy came true.

Hewei is not just a "report of worries". Once, she went with her grandmother to visit an old sister, who was Mrs. Tan, the lady of Yipin's fate. While eating a snack, she suddenly said, "The old lady will be holding her grandson soon." ”

The Tan family is worried about this - five sons gave birth to a bunch of granddaughters. However, at that time, none of the wives and concubines in the family were pregnant, and they were only regarded as Dutch children's language, which could not be taken seriously.

Unexpectedly, big news broke out soon in Duzhong, the third son of the Tan family had an outer room outside, his stomach was sticking out, and he gave birth to twins two months later. The Tan family saw that the background of being a mother was also passable, and the family was a solid family in the commercial street, so they immediately invited guests and gifts, welcomed the mother and son into the door, and specially sealed a red envelope for Xu Hewei.

The eldest uncle was afraid that this reputation would spread and cause trouble, so he beat and scolded him, and strictly forbade his family to go out and spread such words again. But the eldest aunt and mother often talked in private, and Lianyi sat next to her with a book, and overheard it more or less. Listening to Manju say this now, it is not strange at all.

Manzhu understood that Hewei's mother's family knew Hewei's "ability", so she continued: "It seems that you know what our Highness is like. What she said that day was that there were skulls in the palace. ”

After hearing this, Lianyi covered her chest. It is not uncommon for dead people to die in the palace, but the dead people must be moved out, and the nobles will do a lot of things, and the next person will take a roll of straw mats. To say that there are skeletons in hidden corners is not only scary to sound, but the point is that there is no doubt that there is some great secret involved.

Really, my sister is gone, and what she left behind is not 100,000 taels of gold, it's such an unfortunate thing.

So, what does this matter have to do with the crown princess?

Lianyi pondered for a while, looked around, made sure that there was no one, and asked Manzhu again, "Then, who knows about this?" ”

Manju sighed, "Naturally, no outsiders know. Even our prince doesn't know. The bad is bad on the sixth day of the first month, which is the birthday of the Buddha of Dingguang. This Ye family doesn't know why, but they value it very much. Because of the favor of the crown prince, our Royal Highness didn't have to deal with the main hall, but on the sixth day of the first month, we had to accompany him to do Buddhist things. There is no need for us to go in the small Buddha hall, we are all waiting outside. Later, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the master came out, and his face was a little unswerving. When I came back, when there was no one, I told me that I was tired and sleepy, and I was still smoking, and I was in a daze, and I dreamed again, and I saw skulls again, and I was talking nonsense in a daze. I don't know how much the crown princess listened to. His Royal Highness also told me not to mention it again. ”

At this time, Lianyi completely forgot about Wei Qi and time, took La Manzhu's hand, and continued to ask, "Is it that the princess is still ghostly, just ask my sister for questioning?" ”

Manju sighed again, tears in her eyes, "Not really. The two courtyards were originally irrelevant to each other except for greetings on the big face, but from then on, the crown princess either came to speak, or invited His Royal Highness, and went over to speak, but she didn't let us listen. Either recommend a doctor to see His Highness, or recommend a monk, not to mention how annoying it is. Because of this, His Royal Highness has always been hiding outside, but fortunately he has an errand of learning too much. This-"

Manzhu also felt that the words behind were indecent, but he also had to continue, "It should be that after that, I got close to the prince of Xirong, Wubeyue Valley......"

What she heard from Manzhu's mouth, how credible it was, and what each meant, Lianyi was confused. The only thing that is certain is that about the crown princess: her intuition is correct, this Ye Niangniang has something to do with her sister's departure, and she will not let go of herself.

What can I do?

Lian Yi looked around again, but she didn't see Wei Qi and the thin middle-aged eunuch. She looked into Manzhu's eyes, "I can't guarantee that I can save you right now." You must endure humiliation and burden, and endure for a while. Wait for me to move. Do you have any other important words? Or do you need to take care of your home? ”

Manzhu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled respectfully, and straightened up, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about slaves. Slaves and maids have enjoyed blessings and suffered hardships. It's nothing here. I've been in the palace for a long time, what haven't I seen? The slave's family spread the land in the eighteen miles east of the city, and there was nothing missing. ”

"What's your family name?"

"The surname is Bai."

"Okay, I got it. Go in. I'll come back to see you. ”

Lianyi said, and followed Manzhu towards the water prison, it was Manzhu who crawled to the ground and knelt down and begged her to stay, she stopped, and then watched the haggard and ragged figure enter the door and slowly descend to the horizon.

The thin middle-aged eunuch is not there, who will close the door? Lianyi poked forward, and saw a man's hand blocking her in front of her, closing the door of the water prison.

I don't know what mechanism is inside, but I only hear a "click", and it seems to be so closed.

The man was wearing a jade-colored homely satin robe, with a jade hairpin inserted in the old silver crown, and looked back at Lianyi, who was also looking at him.

The man who suddenly appeared, about forty-five years old, had a narrow and long face, eyes like an eagle, a faint black color under his eyes, a square mouth and a square chin, but the jaw was tightened, high cheekbones, a high forehead, and a murderous nose.

The eventful years erased the beauty and freshness of his youth, and created a royal spirit that dominates the world.

Although Lian Yi didn't know why this person appeared in the cold palace at this moment, she guessed his identity.

She knelt down and made a big salute: "Slave, Xu, meet His Majesty Emperor Daping, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
