A tattoo that looks like a scorpion.

Feng Zhaoran didn't speak, she sat on the side and ate the sweet soup brought in by Zhu'er, she didn't bother to raise her eyelids, and she looked arrogant.

"Straighten your back!"

Mama whipped down and whipped it on Ah Lan's back, and the woman was in pain and shook slightly.

The grandmother glared and shouted: "There are no rules outside the palace, this body, don't shake it, if the vase is sprinkled with water, just wait to be whipped!"

Hiss...... Ah Lan gritted her teeth in pain, but she didn't want the whip to fall again in the next second, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.

"Master is here, don't frown, you have to laugh. Mama chuckled.

After a while, Zhu'er waved her hand, and several attendants came in with incense burners.

"Spread your legs apart, put the incense burner between your legs, and I'll see who dares to be lazy!" roared Mama, and several maids were startled, and they were afraid that they would have to fall down after squatting like this.

When they thought of the incense under them, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Feng Zhaoran put down the spoon in his hand, wiped his mouth, and slowly got up and paced in front of Ah Lan: "If Miss Ah Lan can't hold on, she can tell the palace, but people with bad rules can't stay in the palace, even if you are brought in by Shen Jingyi." ”

Ah Lan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, layer by layer, her face was pale, her body was very straight, even if she was tortured like this, she didn't snort.

She knew that Feng Zhaoran did it on purpose, and Ah Lan gritted her teeth: "If this is the case, it can make the princess feel more comfortable, and Ah Lan has no regrets." ”

"Shen Jingyi is not here, so you don't have to pretend to be a good person with me. Feng Zhaoran raised her eyebrows, the smile in the corner of her eyes was quite deep, she reached out and patted Ah Lan's shoulder suddenly.

She sank down a little, almost burning with incense.

And at this moment, Chu Yun came in lightly from outside the door, and she frowned slightly: "Zhaoran, it's really inappropriate to treat a guest like this, Mama should leave everyone behind." ”

"Seventh princess, this is the princess's order. Mama whispered.

"Imperial sister-in-law, there are no rules, Ah Lan is Shen Jingyi's personal palace maid in the palace to bewitch others and spread rumors about me. Feng Zhaoran stomped his foot.

"Then you can't punish her like this, Shen Gongzi knows about it, and she has to make noise again. ”

Chu Yun was relieved, and mediated between the two, she took the vase off Ah Lan's head, and helped her relax her hands for a moment, she condensed: "Ah Lan girl is an understanding person, there are some things that should not be mentioned to Shen Gongzi, and Zhao Ran is just straight, you know?"

"The slave knows that the seventh princess is at ease. ”

Ah Lan was very weak, and he couldn't even walk steadily, and no matter how angry Feng Zhaoran was, he couldn't get angry at Chu Yun.

She was so angry that she stomped her feet: "Imperial sister-in-law, even you are towards this woman! Take it away, her face annoys me." ”

"Obviously, I can learn the rules when I have time. Chu Yun said with a chuckle and helped Ah Lan out of the palace.

Her legs and feet were very sore, and she stood for almost half an hour, if Chu Yun didn't come lightly, she was afraid that she would have to stand in this palace all the time.

The two walked on the path, and Chu Yun comforted him softly: "The princess's temperament has been like this since she was a child. ”

"I understand, it's just that Shen Gongzi will have to suffer in the future. The tip of Ah Lan's nose was sour, and she covered her eyes uncomfortably, "I didn't spread any rumors, let alone think about it, I just thought about Shen Gongzi's life-saving grace and wanted to repay her." ”

"I understand. ”

"Do you believe it?" Lan hurriedly asked, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "I thought you were like them, thinking that I was a dragon and a phoenix. ”

"Why do you feel sorry for yourself like this?" Chu Yun chuckled, "By the way, Zhaoran mentioned to me that you are from Qingfeng Ridge, it just so happens that I went there a few days ago, and you have a beautiful scenery there." ”

"Yes...... Oh, yes. Ah Lan was a little nervous, but she was still answering Chu Yunqing's words, and she didn't care a little sexually.

Ah Lan's heart was slightly touched, she grabbed Chu Yunqing's hand, and said in a condensed voice: "Seventh princess, there is something I want to ask you?"

"Huh?"

Chu Yun was silent, and his heart was very calm.

"Seventh Prince, is he really dead?" Ah Lan said in a low voice, feeling that it seemed inappropriate for him to ask like this, and added a few more words, "I have heard about his deeds since I was a child, and I have reverence in my heart, I just want to ask you." ”

"The deceased is gone, you don't have to dwell on this, he is indeed gone, and I am indeed a widow who will be locked up in this palace for the rest of my life. Chu Yunqing sighed deeply, his eyes full of pathos.

Ah Lan's hand suddenly became cold, wrapping around Chu Yunqing's arm like a small snake.

She only felt a tingling in her palms.

"Does the princess want to leave the palace?" Lan interrupted, "I can do you a favor if you want." ”

"Why?" Chu Yun was stunned for a moment, spared her armpit with her other hand, and hurriedly sealed the acupoint, she didn't know what Ah Lan did to her just now, but she always had to take precautions.

Ah Lan smiled in her eyes: "Just when you solve the siege for me, I will give you back a favor." ”

"You're just a servant girl, where did you get the way, if you have a way, you won't end up alone. Chu Yun sighed lightly and pointed ahead, "You have arrived, go back, and remember not to mention Zhaoran." ”

"Good. Ah Lan smiled, "You don't care about what you do, just leave with us when the time comes." ”

Chu Yun didn't answer lightly, just stood in place and watched Ah Lan leave, her fingers hurt a lot, as if she had been bitten by something.

I don't know what Ah Lan did just now.

She watched the man leave, turned around and went back, Chu Yun caught a glimpse of a small red dot on her fingertips, so small and small that it was difficult to make out with the naked eye.

There was nothing else except the little red dot, and just now she could feel that Ah Lan was planning to talk about the Seven Kings' Mansion from her, but she didn't ask much, just chatted a few words.

This woman is not greasy, the ghost believes it!

When she entered the palace gate, Feng Zhaoran hurriedly ran over: "Imperial sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"No big deal, I was bitten by a bug. She condensed and showed the wound to Feng Zhaoran.

"Look at it, don't be poisonous, this woman is really vicious, if you speak for her, she will do this to you in turn!" Feng Zhaoran scolded, but Chu Yun checked it lightly, but he didn't find any poison.

"It's not toxic. She frowned slightly, and felt very surprised.

Feng Zhaoran was stunned for a moment: "Don't be sloppy, but you have to see it clearly, if I am poisoned, I will not be able to go away in my life." ”

She was so anxious that she wanted to see it herself.

Chu Yun lightly stabilized her heart and said with a smile: "This is indeed a needle mouth, I thought it was bitten by an insect, but now it doesn't look like it." ”

It's like making a mark, leaving a mark on her thumb, or trying to take her blood, but it's really weird.

Feng Zhaoran was not at ease, so he kept her in the palace to observe for a while.

waited until nightfall, and there was nothing strange about Chu Yunqing's hands.

She returned to the Yongshou Palace, and returned to her previous peace, which was desolate and lonely and no one would come, she sat on the futon and flipped through the books.

Puff puff...... A few times.

All the candles lit in the hall were extinguished, and even the everlasting lamps were extinguished.

Only rely on the moonlight outside the temple to see the scene inside.

"Who, since you're here, why don't you show up? Isn't it fun to hide your head and show your tail, I'm a weak woman who can't do anything. ”

Chu Yun chuckled, she listened to all directions, feeling the changes in the air.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed, and she suddenly turned sideways, and the person did not land but flew over the Yongshou Palace.

She frowned, but didn't move further.

The candles in the house were lit again.

"It's also amazing that I'm still interested in tablets these days. Chu Yun shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and when the black shadow passed by just now, she felt something on the tip of her nose rubbing past, tickling.

Feng Jinyan's tablet was stolen by someone, and this person spent all his time just to steal a tablet?

I really didn't pursue it.

She is too lazy to chase, what should come will always come again, Chu Yun turned over lightly, and suddenly heard a miserable scream from the dark night.

Then the fire burst into the sky, which was the direction of the court, as if it was on fire.

The fire burned all night, and she watched the fire in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace all night, and the air was full of wood ash and the strange smell.

The next day, Feng Zhaoran was so angry when he came.

"There was a fire in the court yesterday, but unfortunately Mama Wu is gone, and it is Mama Wu who taught Ah Lan the rules in my palace yesterday. Feng Zhaoran was very angry, she didn't expect it to be like this.

"There will always be anger in people's hearts, and it's strange not to take revenge after suffering such humiliation, but after yesterday, did that Mama Wu do anything?"

Chu Yun twisted his eyebrows lightly and asked, if it was just a simple teaching of the rules, he should not mobilize the people to set fire to the corpses.

Feng Zhaoran sighed: "This person from Ye Ting is a restless person, he went behind my back to ask Ah Lan for money, and scolded her and Shen Jingyi, this fire is also self-inflicted." ”

"She is so bold that even Shen Gongzi dares to scold?" Chu Yun was puzzled, just a grandmother from the court, as for having such a big temper.

Feng Zhaoran was stunned for a moment: "She is the queen mother, so the imperial sister-in-law should understand, right?"

No wonder.

Ah Lan is equivalent to indirectly provoking the Queen Mother, but if she is such a person who hides so deeply, she will naturally not be afraid of the Queen Mother.

"Sister-in-law, how many nights do you have to wait, I can't sleep peacefully these days, and I'm always afraid that she will kill me in the middle of the night. Feng Zhaoran muttered, "Look, there are dark circles under your eyes, and your face is sallow, how can you look like a princess." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the futon that Chu Yun had lightly laid, leaned against the coffin with her pillow in her arms, and leaned there in a daze.

"She's not stupid, it's not in vain that she's exposed so quickly, it's not in the way of waiting. Chu Yun said in a low voice, she didn't tell Feng Zhaoran about the disappearance of the spirit card.

Don't say something you shouldn't say, for fear of getting into trouble if it gets out.

Chu Yunqing still wanted to say a few words, but there was a rough snoring sound in her ears, and she frowned.

......

Mama Wu's body was burned to the point that only a pair of black backbones remained.

Zhu'er, who was standing on the side, pinched her nose.

"It's so pitiful, it's going to end up like this. ”

"If you have time to feel sorry for others, it is better to feel sorry for your master. Feng Zhaoran scolded, not daring to approach.

There was a foul smell from the entire court, and I don't know what was burning last night, so it was weird.

Feng Zhaoran got up, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the white-clothed man walking over slowly: "In this pickled place, isn't Shen Gongzi afraid of dirty feet, what are you going to do?"

"Naturally, I'm here to ask for justice!" Shen Jingyi said coldly.

Chu Yunqing stood up from the corpse, frowned at these people, she was more curious that it was Ah Lan, her eyes were red like rabbits, she was standing next to Shen Jingyi, looking like a little bird.

"What's the matter, for a maid?"

"Her Royal Highness probably doesn't know the importance of that jade pendant to Ah Lan, it is the only relic left to her by her mother, and it can't be taken away by Mama Wu in vain. ”

Shen Jingyi protected Ah Lan behind him and said in a low voice.

"There was a fire in the courtyard yesterday, what did Shen Gongzi say about jade pendants?" Chu Yun walked over lightly, the corpse was disgusting and smelly, but insects had already begun to grow on it in a few hours.

That's where the weirdness comes in.

Shen Jingyi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Chu Yunqing to be here, his tone softened a little: "A jade pendant left by Ah Lan's mother is not valuable, but it is of great significance to her, this girl was bullied yesterday and didn't tell me, and she told me only when she saw the fire in the court." ”

"What jade pendant, you look for it yourself, Mama Wu is not my person. Feng Zhaoran snorted coldly.

She didn't expect Shen Jingyi to protect a girl like this, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and Feng Zhaoran didn't know what was wrong with her.

My heart was sore and swollen, and I didn't want to stay even for a moment.

Chu Yun tugged at Feng Zhaoran's sleeve lightly, and said to Shen Jingyi with a smile: "Shen Gongzi might as well find it himself, if he is lucky, he may still be there, and if he is unlucky, he can only comfort Miss Ah Lan." ”

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, the surroundings were pitch black, Shen Jingyi grabbed Ah Lan's hand and went to look for the place that had not been burned out.

Feng Zhaoran was indignant: "Look at him, don't care about so many palace maids and eunuchs here......"

"Shhhh Chu Yun said in a low voice, "Put away those little tempers, how could she leave any jade pendants behind last night, she must have a purpose in coming." ”

Chu Yunqing walked around, the place where Mama Wu lived was not small, and suddenly there was something under her feet, which was a talisman that had not been completely burned.

Chu Yun bent down lightly to pick it up, with strange lines embroidered on it, and she pinched it in her palm and slowly put it into her sleeve.

Shen Jingyi searched for a circle to no avail, so he came to Chu Yunqing's side: "Has the princess found it?"

"No, I'm just curious, there is a pool outside the courtyard, and beyond that is the place where the cloth is dyed, it is very humid all year round, why is it on fire?" she was puzzled, "But these things should be left to them to do, let's go, Shen Gongzi is dirty here and should not stay for a long time." ”

"I want to ask the princess to talk about it, and I hope you appreciate your face!" Shen Jingyi condensed, when he approached Chu Yunqing, he felt a little familiar.

But when I really looked at that face again, it was very strange.

Chu Yunqing's appearance will not be forgotten at a glance, and the birthmark is really obvious.

Chu Yun replied lightly: "It's hard to resist hospitality." ”

"Okay, let's go. Shen Jingyi led the way in front, Chu Yun followed lightly, and didn't say much, she didn't know why this person had to invite her to drink.

"Imperial sister-in-law is not allowed to go!" Feng Zhaoran muttered quietly.

"You go too. ”

Chu Yun gently dragged her to the front, Feng Zhaoran just wanted to escape, and there was no place to hide, she was written all over her body to resist, and her facial features were even more wrinkled, but she didn't speak, and followed honestly.

The banquet was set up in the Huxin Pavilion, and Shen Jingyi had arranged everything earlier, and several people got on the boat to ferry to the Huxin Pavilion.

"Please. ”

Chu Yun sat down lightly and responded with a smile: "Shen Gongzi really has Yaxing, but the wind in the middle of this lake is strong, the humidity is greater, and it is easy to get caught by the wind and cold after sitting for a long time. ”

"Thank you for the princess's reminder, it was Ah Lan who felt that the scenery here was beautiful, and wanted to come and take a look, but I didn't think much about it. ”

While a few people were talking, the dishes came up, all wrapped in lotus leaves, which could be regarded as having a heart.

Chu Yunqing didn't expect Shen Jingyi to get along so well with this girl.

"It's all Ah Lan's craftsmanship, you can taste it. Shen Jingyi smiled.

Feng Zhaoran doesn't eat vegetables and only drinks, she doesn't look down on this kind of wild food outside the palace, although the fragrance is strong, but when she thinks that the woman made it, she has no appetite.

Chu Yun lightly pinched a few spoonfuls: "The craftsmanship is good, this wine is made from pear blossoms, right?"

"The princess has good eyesight!" Shen Jingyi said in a low voice, and after three rounds of drinking, he began to explore, "Has the princess been to the Northland before?"

"No, I didn't. ”

"I just look at you with some familiarity, I just can't remember where I've seen you. Shen Jingyi sneered, "Maybe I remembered it wrong, and it was very similar to an old friend of mine." ”

"Shen Jingyi, don't talk nonsense, the imperial sister-in-law is my imperial brother's person, when did I meet you. Feng Zhaoran was indignant and protected Chu Yunqing, "Although the imperial brother is gone, there are still a few of us, and you can't help it." ”

"Manifest ......"

"The princess is too careful, but the seventh prince is really a pity. Shen Jingyi sighed, "Is there still anyone living in the Seven Kings' Mansion now?"

"The housekeeper is taking care of it, occasionally bringing some relatives and friends to live, the queen mother remembered the prince's great achievements, and expected to keep the Seven Princes' Mansion forever. She smiled in agreement.

"I want to visit another day. Shen Jingyi raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yunqing.

It's like a tentative question.

Chu Yun frowned slightly: "There's nothing to visit, the master is no longer there, what's the point of going again, it's Shen Gongzi, when are you going to marry Zhaoran?"

"When the Queen Mother comes down, I will go back to the north to prepare for the wedding. Shen Jingyi said softly, he looked at Feng Zhaoran and took a glass of wine, "The princess also invites Haihan, if you don't do it right, don't take it to heart." ”

"Princess Ben doesn't care, but I ordered the small kitchen to stew a pot of good things today, and I wanted to keep it for the royal sister-in-law to eat, but today it was lively, and Zhu'er went to bring the pot of soup. ”

Feng Zhaoran said in a low voice.

Zhu'er muttered in a low voice, "Princess, it seems inappropriate." ”

"If you are told to go, you will go. Feng Zhaoran said coldly.

Chu Yun was slightly stunned, and there was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, she looked at Feng Zhaoran, until the snake soup came up, she couldn't help but want to vomit.
