Since the last time she went to the hospital because of an injury, Xue finally made an appointment with Si Kui that if she was free, she would go to him alone, but since then, Xue has not been there once.

After that, Si Kui would come to the East Palace to change her dressing, but there were many people, and Xue couldn't talk to him alone.

During this period, Si Kui took her pulse, although she showed a puzzled look, but in the end she only said that Xue's pulse was weak, probably just because she was relatively thin, and did not doubt her identity, which made Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

Xue went to the court normally every day, and at the same time waited for the news of Pei Xuanling on the Xun Court's side, and after the next court, Xue was still not idle, because in addition to the official system of the previous dynasty, she also had to make up for the palace system of the inner court.

These days are free, Xue asked Cao Bairen to come to the imperial study to explain the palace system to her, although if the emperor needs anything, just order it directly, but because Xue is a woman dressed as a man, she must always guard her identity, only the palace system is clear in the chest, can be flexible and comprehensive.

After that, it took a few days for Xue to figure out all the big and small things in the inner court.

Although Gonggong Jiang has become the emperor's imperial official, and his official rank is second only to Cao Bairen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is directly responsible for her life after all, so Xue still wants to be controlled by her own people.

The current eunuch Cao Bairen Cao Gonggong, although he is a villain with a thief's eyebrows, but he is also respectful, and he has never done anything wrong, Xue suddenly can't find any reason to drive him away, not to mention the complicated affairs of the Inner Servant Province, even if Xue wants to let Jiang Gonggong replace him, it will take some time.

Aunt Ning also became the head of the palace maids, and she was at the same level as Aunt Yao.

Since the coup d'état, the harem people have withered, and in the end it is still the master, and only the Empress Dowager Xun Xianlan is left, and the affairs of the harem should be handed over to the harem woman, so Aunt Yao took this errand over, although Aunt Ning has also become the manager, but Xue does not intend to let Aunt Ning interfere in the affairs of the harem, and still asks Aunt Yao to take care of it alone, and she does not want to hurt the harmony between herself and the Empress Dowager Xun.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace gave amnesty to the world, and the palace should also be rewarded. Although there has not yet been a formal enthronement ceremony, Lu Yizhi has already left Beijing and gone to the fiefdoms of various clansmen to collect weapons, so Xue asked him to take on the position of ceremonial official, bringing out the news that "the prince returns to the palace and inherits the throne" to announce it to the world.

Now that the treasury is empty, although there is no silver money, it is still possible to take the palace steps of the palace people in the palace, even if it is a coup d'état, they are still willing to stay in the palace, and Xue also wants to express his gratitude. At the same time, considering the dignity of the Empress Dowager Xun, Xue also promoted Gonggong Song in the Empress Dowager's palace, at the same level as Gonggong Jiang.

What the new emperor wants to do, Xue has almost done, and now, as a child, she has to do what she should do as a daughter.

She misses her mother.

When the queen mother heard that Tao Guifei was dead, she also took away two children, and she was heartbroken, and in a fit of anger, she cut off Tao Luoyang's position, took her title, and was directly expelled from the imperial tomb, so that until now, there is not even a tombstone left.

And the palace where Tao Guifei and Sister Xue lived back then only let people carry away a large piece of scorched wood, so they ignored it, leaving a vacant land. At that time, Emperor Tai was seriously ill, and Empress Jia was busy fighting for power and profit in the previous dynasty, and soon the palace changed the sky, and there were fewer and fewer people, and the land has always been so uncared for, and today, it has become a barren and desolate scene.

Aunt Ning once persuaded Xue not to go, for fear that she would touch the scene, but Xue insisted on going. So in the afternoon of that day, Xue went to the harem with Aunt Ning.

Xue and Aunt Ning walked in the corridor of the harem, the corridor of the harem is a small corridor, one step and nine songs, the corridor waist is back, since the snow returned to the palace, although the day in and out of the previous dynasty, but now in the harem, I still feel very cordial, I feel that it is still this kind of small jasper thing to follow my own mind.

Walking and walking, Xue felt that the scene in front of him was becoming more and more familiar, the Tianyuan Pond outside the corridor was sparkling, but because the autumn color was approaching, only the lotus flowers that had withered remained, and the ground serval pond next to it, the colorful carp in the past, now only the floating light was left, which was sad.

Snow looked at five steps, ten steps and a pavilion, no words, no crying, as if looking at the memories of the past through these scenes, those good memories, although the memory of the person has passed away, but as long as it is still alive in the memory, it is enough.

Before you know it, you have already arrived at your hometown, in fact, you don't need Aunt Ning's guidance, the snow can also find the way over, or the paint is mottled, or the green plants are withered, in the eyes of the snow, the harem has not changed, it is to return to your home.

It is no longer accurate to say that it is an open space, and the stone slab blackened by the fire can no longer see its original color, she seems to be able to imagine the scene when the mother concubine desperately poured lamp oil on the stone slab, and after walking a few more steps, Xue raised her foot, according to the way she remembers, this place is the threshold of the palace gate, she crossed the threshold and walked into the inner courtyard.

At this time, a pile of rocks on the side attracted Xue's attention, and she seemed to remember something, and walked over with a happy look on her face.

Although it is no longer the same, but Xue is very sure, that is the stone table and bench in the courtyard back then, Xue leaned over and stroked the broken stone bench, remembering that when she was a child, she and Sima Ji chased in the inner courtyard, and accidentally fell, and her forehead just hit the stone bench, and she cried in the next second, as if from that time on, she was a person who was particularly afraid of pain.

Rubble, mounds, debris...... The things that didn't burn out were hidden in the weeds, and the snow could vaguely make out which one was the stone staircase that entered the inner room, which was the pillar pier of the inner porch, and which was a flower dish that had been planted with jasmine.

In the morning, the sky was still clear, but after the afternoon, dark clouds came, and autumn had begun, and even the wind was cold and desolate.

Xue felt that it was the dust raised by the wind that caused her to leave tears, and she hurriedly wiped them away, obviously she had already decided that she had come to greet her mother, so she would not cry.

With the dust came a faint scent of flowers, and Snow keenly caught the fragrance, and walked along it, and after searching for a while, he finally found that a dwarf jasmine had grown between the cracks in the stone slabs.

Jasmine is the favorite flower of Peach Guifei in front of her.

Seeing the flowers like faces, Snow squatted and knelt in front of this jasmine, her shoulders trembled, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Aunt Ning also followed, kneeling beside Xue, patting Xue's back lightly, and slowly her eyes turned red.

Xue's face was full of tears, she pointed to the jasmine, and asked Aunt Ning with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt Ning, you said, does the concubine know that I am back?"

Aunt Ning was startled, and then tears welled up in her eyes again, and she nodded towards Xue and said:

"yes, yes...... The young lady knows that His Highness has returned, so she came to see you. ”

Xue lay on Aunt Ning's shoulder, crying sadly, sometimes making a "woo" sobbing sound, suddenly, Xue raised her head, looked at Aunt Ning, her eyes were full of panic, and she asked with a crying voice:

"That'...... Will the mother forgive me? ”

Forgive her for losing Sima Ji seven years ago, and forgive her for returning to the dynasty as Sima Ji a year later.
