After leaving the Qiankun Palace, Yuan Qingling went to the Imperial Concubine Palace.

The imperial concubine ordered someone to prepare pastries and sour pulp, Yuan Qing Ling was so sour, sour and spicy, the imperial concubine felt that she was still a son.

"That Aunt Qing, came to kneel outside the palace early this morning, and said that she wanted to go out of the palace to serve Lao Jiu, this attitude suddenly changed, and the palace felt strange, so she didn't agree first, ask you first and then decide."

The imperial concubine said.

"Really?"

Yuan Qingling was stunned, this changed too quickly, right?

"Yes, after kneeling for half an hour, Bengong called her back to wait."

The imperial concubine said.

Yuan Qingling thought for a moment, "That's right, by the way, mother, what rumors are there in the palace recently?"

For example, it is related to southern Xinjiang. ”

The aunt beside the imperial concubine said loudly: "Crown princess, yes, some people in the palace recently said that the daughter of the king of southern Xinjiang is in Beijing, and the people who went out on errands in the palace inquired about it, and the palace said it." ”

Yuan Qingling said: "This thing is really getting more and more interesting. ”

"Interesting?

Aunt Naqing was very boring. ”

The imperial concubine grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her and said lightly.

Yuan Qingling looked at the imperial concubine and said, "I want to see her again." ”

The imperial concubine snorted and clapped her hands, "Then ask someone to pass her over, you can ask carefully." ”

Yuan Qingling restrained, "No, don't worry, I'll pass it on tomorrow, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Perhaps, it is time for Man'er to meet her and see who she is leaving the palace for.

If it's because of the barbarian, tomorrow she will definitely show it when she sees the barbarian.

For the sake of prudence, the next day she invited Rong Yue, Princess Sun, Mrs. Yao, the old lady of the Yuan family, and Princess Rui into the palace together, asked Man'er to dress up, and followed Rong Yue and the old lady.

Yuan Qingling's appeal is indeed powerful, but when he asked someone to hand over the post, he responded to the call, and the old lady of the Yuan family and the princess of Rui both responded to the matter of entering the palace.

Man'er didn't know why, he acted according to the orders of the crown princess, and he followed Rong Yue since he entered the palace.

The ladies talked for a while, and Yuan Qingling said to the imperial concubine: "By the way, I asked the mother concubine to find a person in charge of the old nine mansions before, did you find it?"

While everyone is there, call up to meet everyone. ”

The imperial concubine understood, so she ordered someone to invite Aunt Qing.

After a while, Aunt Qing invited her, and this time, she was much more well-dressed, simple but clean.

Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "Aunt Qing, right?"

We've seen it before. ”

Aunt Qing stepped forward to bless her body, "The slave maid asks for peace to the crown princess." ”

"Well, you can say hello to the big guys one by one."

Yuan Qingling said.

Aunt Qing stepped forward, first to greet Prince Rui, then to the old lady of the Yuan family, and then to Rong Yue.

Rong Yue also had to take care of it, and said: "You raise your head and ask the concubine to see, at your age, can you help the ninth brother manage the affairs of the house?" ”

Aunt Qing raised her head as she said, her eyes first glanced at Rong Yue like a dragonfly, and then saw Man'er's face.

Yuan Qingling looked at her, her body stiffened clearly, her pupils dilated rapidly, and a light flashed, although everything quickly calmed down, but Yuan Qingling saw that her lips trembled, and her hands also had a feeling of nowhere to place.

She knew in her heart that Aunt Qing must know Man'er.

However, when Man'er looked at Aunt Qing, there was nothing unusual, she didn't look like she didn't know, and she just stood behind Rong Yue in a proper manner.

"Slave maid...... The slave and maid will definitely do a good job for King Shun. ”

Aunt Qing lowered her eyes, blessed her body, and made a clasping movement with her hands to relieve her nervousness.

Yuan Qingling said: "Hengzhu has not selected too good candidates now, you have served King Shun in the past, and you know his intentions, so decide, tomorrow you will go out of the palace to do something, and when you enter the house, you still have to be busy." ”

"Yes, the slave has thanked the princess!"

Aunt Qing's eyes were a little excited, but she tried her best to suppress it.

Yuan Qingling picked up the teacup and asked casually: "By the way, Concubine Ben remembered that I asked you a few days ago, you said that you were unwilling to go out of the palace to serve King Shun, why did you change your mind now?" ”

Aunt Qing said: "Back to the princess, the slave maid was not unwilling before, but she was afraid that she was not capable enough to serve King Shun well, but she went back and thought about it carefully, the concubine was very good to the slave and maid in the past, and the slave and maid had some strength, and she should take good care of King Shun for her, so she changed her mind, please rest assured that the princess will take care of the affairs inside and outside the palace for King Shun, and will never live up to the importance of the imperial concubine and the crown princess." ”

There were no emotional ups and downs in these words, as if they had been rehearsed earlier.

"Well, you are a person who knows how to repay your kindness, and you are worthy of the kindness of the noble concubines in the past, you can go back."

Yuan Qingling said.

Aunt Qing blessed her body and retreated, and when she reached the threshold, her eyes quickly raised, fell on Man'er's face, and then turned away.

The last light in his eyes, with tears in his eyes, after turning around and going out, his shoulders felt slowly drooping, as if the whole person was relieved.

Based on this alone, Yuan Qingling can be sure that she has no ill will towards the barbarian.

Leaving the palace, Yuan Qingling went straight home.

Yu Wenhao also just entered the door and invited General Luo to come over to speak, Yuan Qingling came back well, and Yu Wenhao immediately asked her to go in and listen.

"Speaking of it now, it's been almost ten years, when the emperor ...... That is, the Emperor Taishang is fighting the Red Lotus Sect with all his might, and the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect counterattacked, sending several waves of people into the palace to assassinate the Emperor Taishang, these people seem to be not afraid of death, and they come one after another, come one after another, come to kill one, come to kill two and kill a pair, stunned but failed to deter, once, and almost called them successful, the Emperor Taishang was seriously injured by the stab, and he was bedridden for half a month before getting better.

Because of this incident, Chang Gonggong never showed mercy again, but if there is an assassin, he will not leave a living mouth, and he will kill the emperor first. ”

General Luo took a sip of water, but Yuwen Hao asked, "Red Lotus Sect?"

The king doesn't seem to have heard of it. ”

General Luo said: "The Red Lotus Sect first arose in the Great Zhou, they refined and sold medicine, this medicine is addictive after eating, it will make people drowsy and lose their minds, so after the Red Lotus Sect spread in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang hit with a hammer and scattered many halls, so that they have no way to live."

The two people from southern Xinjiang entered the palace to assassinate them at this moment, and at that time, Chang Gonggong thought that they were people from the Red Lotus Sect, and he showed no mercy, and immediately killed them after discovering them, killing them on the spot.

After killing, Weichen began to investigate, and found that they had only entered the palace not long ago, and they came in after adulthood, because they couldn't go to the palaces to serve immediately after they came in, and they had to learn the rules, learn the rules and then assign them to do some rough work, and stay up for two or three years, three or four years, so that they could serve the master, they just couldn't wait, so they sneaked into the emperor's bedroom at night, and afterwards they learned that they didn't carry weapons, and there was no mark of the Red Lotus Sect on their bodies. Suspicion was mixed in at the time. ”

"So, in fact, until they die, I don't know what their motives are."

Yuan Qingling asked.

General Luo shook his head, "I really don't know, everyone has been killed, and the people who entered the palace with them have been strictly interrogated, but they can't ask why, and in the end they can only be stopped." ”

"Oh, by the way," General Luo suddenly remembered, "when interrogating the Southern Xinjiang slaves, one of the Southern Xinjiang slaves said that the two assassins had spoken privately and he had heard him mention something about the king of Southern Xinjiang. ”
