At the same time, the decline of the Ye family is like a ship with a gap, and it is a matter of time before it sinks.

Outsiders look at the excitement, and only those involved in the situation know the stakes and disadvantages, what is imperial power? It was with the acquiescence of the prince that the peers who had been suppressed by the Ye family for many years came out to plunder the Ye family's business, and even a small trader on the north street of the capital dared to breach the contract with the Ye family and did not repay the arrears......

In addition to the Ye family, the twelve golden flowers in the south corner of the East Palace were lost in half, and they were detained and interrogated in the Punishment Division, and because of their direct participation, they were demoted to palace maids or official maids, and the palace maids entered the provincial government and the Huanyi Bureau to work, and the official maids entered the yamen of the official mansions of various ministries, and only two of the remaining six people were not punished, one was Li Ronghua of Chunchi Pavilion, and the other was Wang Cairen of Yijingyuan.

The hearts of everyone in the harem of the cold winter Layue are cold, the prince is really angry, the incident has happened to the present, I don't know how many people have entered the punishment department, they are all on duty that night, passing by the Yuhua Pavilion, and they disappeared overnight and couldn't explain where they went......

"Mother, save the slave, please, mother......"

The palace maid who knelt on the ground and begged bitterly looked lovely, she kowtowed vigorously to the crown princess Zhao Jingyi who was drinking tea on the floor, seeing that the bruised and swollen forehead was about to ooze blood, and the person who had not made a sound for a long time finally put down the tea cup.

"Zhao Ting, you personally send her to the Punishment Division to be punished."

"Yes, sissy."

"Don't ...... Niangniang, please, save the slave maid......" As soon as the palace maid kneeling on the ground heard this, she broke away from Zhao Ting, who came to pull her next to her, and was about to reach out to pull the hem of Zhao Jingyi's clothes who stood up, but it was in vain.

"It's not that the palace doesn't save you, it's a taboo in the palace to give private advice to the guards, if the prince knows that the palace will also be punished, you don't want to implicate everyone in the palace because of you."

The palace maid seemed to be choked by the throat raw, and was instantly overwhelmed by despair, and she was no longer able to struggle, and collapsed to the ground.

"Sister Crown Princess, what's going on here?"

The voice of the person who came in at the door was very sweet, but the demeanor was very lively, and he walked directly to the inner hall all the way into the door, and the maids who led the way couldn't keep up, and he chased after him: "Niangniang, the king of Yijingyuan came to ask for ......."

Wang Cairen is still fifteen years old, raised in the countryside when he was a child, it is rumored that he is naughty than his brothers at home, his father is Wang Ji, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, probably not enlightened, not understanding the relationship between men and women, she is also the only one who is afraid of the prince among the newcomers, and thinks he is too fierce.

didn't expect to be seen by her such a scene, Zhao Jingyi sighed lightly, "I didn't make any trouble, I sent a few people to the Punishment Division to be punished." ”

"Oh, no wonder there weren't many people along the way, it's strangely deserted." Wang Cairen flicked his sleeves and took his seat automatically, with a naïve and childish attitude in his actions, and he had no consciousness of being inferior to the imperial concubine at all.

Zhao Jingyi sat back quietly, and Zhao Ting dragged the palace maid on the ground and went out quickly.

Zhao Jingyi accommodated a few words, and began to ask her: "I heard you say that you haven't seen Li Ronghua a few days ago, what's wrong with her?" ”

Wang Cairen shook his head, "I don't know wow, her palace maid said that she was afraid of the cold in winter, and the last time I saw her, she was also nested in bed...... It's also weird, it's like I haven't gotten out of bed for months. ”

Zhao Jingyi thoughtfully, "In this way, come here, I'll teach you a fun thing." ”

"Okay, okay, what's fun?" Wang Cairen agreed without thinking about it, and got up and leaned over with his skirt slipped, and his little ears were erected.

The Chunchi Pavilion is built next to a begonia garden, and it is naturally planted with begonia flowers. In spring and summer, on both sides of the road, around the pavilions, and the begonias by the rockery pond stand steeply in the wind, the flowers are bright and moving, the flowers are beautiful, the flowers bloom like brocade, and there is the reputation of the gods in the flowers.

But in late winter and early spring, it was a little dull and colorless, Yu Siyao had nothing to do with living here, so he brought a shower can to water the begonia trees in the courtyard, and took small scissors to prune the dead branches, and only half of the repair was heard behind him.

"Aunt Yu, is Sister Mi'er up?"

The next-door neighbor Wang Cairen came over with two maids with a smile, she was dressed plainly, and she was lively, looking pleasing to the eye, Yu Siyao took the things and stood up: "I haven't gotten up yet......"

"I haven't seen her for a long time, is there something wrong with my body?" The wind blows strongly in winter, there are always many rainy and snowy days, everyone doesn't like to go out, and it's not unusual to not see each other for ten days and half a month, but Li Ronghua hasn't gone out since the winter.

Yu Siyao didn't answer.

"Aunt Yu, the master is up, come in quickly......" Another palace maid who was waiting for Li Ronghua beckoned to Yu Siyao at the entrance of the hall at night, and waited for her to come over and whispered a warning, "You also know the master's temper, don't show her face again......"

The two walked to the inner hall together, and Wang Cairen hurriedly followed, jumping quickly.

But as soon as she entered, she saw Li Mi'er sitting at the long table, still looking cold and dusty, but her cheeks were slightly rubbed with some light pink rouge, which was more bright than in her memory, and she was covered with a huge cloak, and the whole person could only see the upper body.

Wang Cairen settled down, and when she first saw Li Mi'er, she looked straight in the eyes. This Li Mi'er is outstanding and immortal, and among the people she has seen, there is definitely no one who can compare with the kind of country and city.

It's just that the temperament is a little weird and scary.

"Sister Mi'er, your hair is so beautiful!" Wang Cairen suppressed her thoughts, her eyes were full of envy, she came up and asked, "Is it Aunt Yu's or is it the evening?" ”

Li Mi'er glanced at her, her unsmiling appearance gave people a sense of gloom, and her eyes were also straightforward, she raised her jade hand and turned a page of the book.

"I guess it must be late evening, Sister Mi'er, I haven't seen her for so long, I'm staying here with you to relieve boredom......" Wang Cairen didn't care at all, smiled friendly and pure, and said that he didn't hit the smiling person, Li Mi'er really didn't drive her out immediately, and after that, Wang Cairen watched Li Mi'er have breakfast, and kept pestering Wanxi if he could get her a beautiful bun next time.

Wanxi was annoyed by her questioning, so he took advantage of the palace attendant to pack up the tableware and go out with him, planning to hide from her first.

As soon as she left, Wang Cairen immediately got up and pretended to go to the inner room to go to Gong, and when he walked around the table, he suddenly squatted down and got under the table, lifted the tablecloth, and was stunned.

"Wang Sixiu!" Li Mi'er slapped the table and got up, and the belly that was covered by the cloth and the table was instantly exposed.

Wang Cairen sat on the ground with one leg weak, she pointed to Li Mi'er's bulging belly, as if she was frightened, "You-you have a ...... belly"

Li Mi'er smashed the book in her hand directly into her face, "Shut up, get out of me!" ”

She seemed to be greatly humiliated, and her emotions collapsed instantly, and the bowl of undrunk milk in her hand was also whisked to the ground by her, and then the snack plate...... Everything she could see was smashed by her.

Yu Si, who was on the side, didn't move, as long as she didn't secretly smash her stomach like last night, she could smash anything.

Looking at Li Mi'er, who suddenly erupted, Wang Cairen swallowed his saliva, got up on the spot in fright, and fled out of the Chunchi Pavilion without looking back.

###

That night, after washing, Shen Tingnian was just about to rest, when he heard the sound of the door being opened, and he reacted in hindsight that the door forgot to latch again.

It was a dark shadow again, this time Shen Tingnian was not frightened, but took the initiative to get up and give way, patted the bed and said, "If you want to sleep, tell me first, where is the person who painted your portrait?" ”

Pu Yangxu lifted the quilt and came in, the space shrank suddenly, and the light of the palace lamp fell obliquely on her shoulders through the wide open window, inlaid with layers of silver for her flying hair.

"It took a bit of effort to find the person behind the scenes."

Shen Tingnian was not surprised, and asked him, "Is it a woman?" ”

Pu Yangxu's voice was a little awkward, "Claiming to be your rival in love, do you want me to arrest him?" ”

Shen Tingnian said faintly: "If you want to catch my rival in love, I'm afraid that the dungeon of Kyoto Mansion can't fit it, doesn't Your Highness have any confidence at all?" ”

"......" Pu Yangxu couldn't control himself from thinking too much, it sounded like this, this sentence was all a compliment, right?

"You don't catch her, you do it to catch big fish." Shen Tingnian looked at his eyes with determination.

Pu Yangxu was silent, thinking that he had the right to know the truth about this matter, he raised his eyebrows again, and looked back calmly.

Shen Tingnian knew that he must be looking for Lin Mo's whereabouts, that painting was in the bookcase that Lin Xi snatched from her, and Shen Tingnian thought about it for a long time before he vaguely remembered this incident.

And Lin Xi and the Ye family are mixed together, it must be Shen Qingyan who has a good line - thinking of Shen Qingyan, Shen Tingnian is a little distracted.

Shen Qingyan betrayed her, is there a secret?

The messenger only said that she refused to speak...... Shen Tingnian sorted out the confusion and cleared all the blind spots, the truth was clear, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. For the past two years, she has been in the position of the central target, facing all kinds of damage from open or hidden arrows, so she doesn't care who shoots everything in the future.

But this time, it's different.

Someone in the next huge game of chess, the previous generation and the two generations of this generation were stirred in, the emperor himself was injured, the harem concubines were even more damaged, and the East Palace was also overturned, and even the prince himself was greatly hurt through her...... If the people behind the scenes are King An's faction, the price they pay is so great, it will be too much to lose.

Shen Tingnian couldn't figure it out for the time being, because there were too many people involved, and all kinds of forces were mixed, and it was not possible to smooth it out at once.

Pu Yangxu quietly watched her wander, watching her frown, his fingertips touching her brow, Shen Tingnian blinked, the two of them looked entangled, and gradually revealed the uncontrollable Gu Yaowang, unconsciously getting closer and closer.

"Don't touch me."

Shen Tingnian, who was almost fascinated by sex, closed his eyes, turned around again, and turned his back to him, "Don't let me be scolded." ”

Pu Yangxu felt that he had not fallen to the point of Qiu Huan, and he retreated stiffly.

But in the end, he was a little aggrieved, like he didn't ask for food, but when he remembered to eat some meat, the imperial dining room said that there was no meat, Your Highness, you should be a vegetarian.

Shen Tingnian was even more excessively than the imperial dining room, and the meat was placed under his nose and he was not allowed to eat it.

He came to warm her every night, because the injury of her left foot had not healed, not only did she not appreciate it, but also gave him repeated orders, this is not allowed and that is not good...... But Pu Yangxu couldn't control his legs from coming when he was coldly treated.

It's not that I haven't tried to be cold first, and then coax her back to Changxinyuan when Lin Mo's matter is over...... But what if he thought that if he was not there, Shen Ting would have nightmares again on night.
