"Your Majesty, this palace maid has just been kneeling for a long time, her legs haven't really hurt her muscles and bones, just wait for her to slow down for a few days, you don't have to worry too much." Lin Sang replied.

Song Jiu thought about it, she continued to walk outside the hall, Lin Sang was about to follow, Song Jiu turned around and said, "Lin Sang, I said that I would go alone, don't follow." ”

Song Jiu came to the Imperial Garden, it was still very early at this time, the sun had not yet come out, there were early birds in the garden squeaking non-stop, and there was a faint rustle of sweeping the floor in the distance, Song Jiu passed through a magnolia tree, and the dew on the branches was a little wet, directly staining her robe.

Nine walked to the front of a lotus pond, the dew on the green lotus leaves was like pearls, and the lotus leaves rolled down directly from the top to the bottom, and the frogs jumped up and down on the buds that had not yet bloomed.

Song Jiu looked at such a scene, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot, she sat down in the gazebo, and watched the lotus flowers in the lotus pond bloom little by little while blowing the cool breeze.

I don't know how long it took, but the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone directly, and the water in the lotus pond shimmered with a pale yellow light.

Song Jiu stood up, she wanted to walk casually again, but as soon as she turned around, she suddenly saw a person standing there straight, Song Jiu was startled, took a few steps back, and waited until she saw who was coming before she breathed a sigh of relief, "Deputy Commander Han, why are you here?" ”

"The subordinates are specially here to see the emperor."

Deputy Commander Han spoke: "The last time my subordinates came back from Yinmiaofang, I always wanted to see the emperor again, but the defense of the Zhongyuan Hall was too tight, and my subordinates couldn't enter. ”

"What do you want to see me for?"

Song Jiu said: "I have promised you everything you asked me before, and I have done it, Taifu shouldn't have troubled you during this time, right?" ”

When Han Jiang heard him say this, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he replied: "The emperor's life-saving grace to his subordinates, his subordinates are unforgettable, but his subordinates came today and wanted to ask the emperor to help his subordinates with one more thing." ”

Song Jiu looked at Han Jiang for a long time before she realized what Han Jiang wanted to ask her, "Deputy Commander Han, are you looking for me to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”

"Exactly!"

Han Jiang knelt down as he spoke, he was ashamed and said: "Originally, my subordinates had already troubled the emperor once, and I really didn't have the face to come to the emperor again, but now my subordinates are really in urgent need of Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”

"Is it that Concubine Hui's illness has flare-up again?" Song Jiu asked with concern.

Han Jiang nodded and replied: "The Imperial Doctor said that only by using the Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine can the disease of Concubine Hui be completely cured, but the Tai Hospital really does not have this medicine, and his subordinates tried their best to buy it outside the palace, but they couldn't buy the real Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”

Song Jiu thought of the Tianshan Snow Lotus that Gu Shengan gave her before, and she spoke: "I do have a Tianshan Snow Lotus in my hand, but I didn't bring it out. ”

"Then please ask the emperor to go back and get it, and his subordinates are waiting here."

Song Jiu thought about it, she felt that Concubine Hui had been sick for so long, she should indeed go over to see her, so she spoke: "Han Jiang, you go back to the Minglan Hall first, and I will go back to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus and send it over in person." ”

Han Jiang was a little hesitant, he originally wanted to say that he didn't need to trouble the emperor to send it over in person, just hand over the Tianshan Snow Lotus to him, but when Han Jiang thought of the environment in which Concubine Hui lived, and the attitude of the palace maid and eunuch towards Concubine Hui, he felt that it might be a good thing to let the emperor go in person, and when the time came, he could ask the emperor to change Concubine Hui's situation.

Han Jiang kowtowed directly to Song Jiu and replied, "There is Emperor Lao!" ”

Seeing this, Song Jiu hurriedly walked over to support him, "Deputy Commander Han don't kneel anymore, get up quickly!" ”

Han Jiang didn't dare to let Song Jiu support him, he stood up directly, Song Jiu saw him standing with his waist straight, and couldn't help asking, "Han Jiang, have you been in the military camp before?" ”

"This ......"

Han Jiang didn't know how to answer for a while, but Song Jiu saw him with a look of embarrassment, and said, "What, it's inconvenient to tell me?" ”

"Nope!"

Han Jiang replied: "The emperor is as kind to his subordinates as a mountain, and his subordinates should know everything!" ”

Song Jiu smiled and replied, "Since that's the case, you can tell me about your past." ”

"My subordinates did stay in the barracks for a few years before, and they also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they made a lot of contributions, but they ...... later."

Han Jiang laughed at himself when he said this, "It's also a subordinate hero who is short of breath and has a long love for his children!" In order to protect Concubine Hui, his subordinates decided to stay in the palace and be a small deputy commander. ”

"Have you ever regretted making such a decision?" Song Jiu asked softly.

Han Jiang was stunned when he heard this question, his eyes were confused for a moment, but soon he shook his head and replied, "My subordinates don't regret it!" Although her subordinates also made a great wish to make contributions when they were young, Concubine Hui is the most beloved woman in her subordinates' lives, and as long as she can guard her from afar, her subordinates will be content. ”

"Your infatuation with Concubine Hui is admirable!" Song Jiu said.

"The deep palace is lonely, Concubine Hui is too hard to live alone, if there are no subordinates to support her, the subordinates are afraid that she will ......"

Han Jiang didn't continue, he sighed, "Maybe all this is fate!" ”

Song Jiu also felt a little emotion in her heart, she originally wanted to ask something, but as soon as she raised her head, she saw a few eunuchs not far away who had been looking this way, Song Jiu knew that she couldn't continue to stay with Han Jiang for so long.

"Deputy Commander Han, I need to go back to the Zhongyuan Hall now, don't worry, I will go to the Minglan Hall in an hour."

As soon as Song Jiu returned to the dormitory, she immediately took out the Tianshan Snow Lotus, she originally wanted to go to the Minglan Hall immediately, but when she thought of the few eunuchs who were sneakily staring at her just now, she felt a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, Song Jiu decided that it would be better to take Lin Sang with her.

Song Jiu took a cloak and put it on her head, covering the red spots on her face, she called Lin Sang over, and explained to her what she meant, Lin Sang originally did not approve of Song Jiu going to Minglan Hall at this time, but he was stubborn Song Jiu, and Song Jiu also offered to take him with him, so he did not insist on objecting.

Lin Sang asked people to prepare a carriage, and then deliberately selected a few clever hidden guards to follow in the dark.

The location of the Minglan Hall was a bit remote, and it took a long time for the carriage to arrive, Song Jiu originally thought that the place where Concubine Hui lived should be relatively quiet and elegant, but when she stepped out of the carriage, she was a little surprised.

The door of the Minglan Hall looked a little dilapidated, she took Lin Sang all the way in, but she couldn't even see a palace maid and eunuch, because she couldn't find the palace maid to report, Song Jiu could only walk to the door of Concubine Hui's bedroom in person, she reached out and knocked on the door, but it was the sick and weak Concubine Hui who personally came to open the door wearing a coat.
