That night, Mu Jinheng went to the household department to light the lamp and boil oil, and ordered soldiers and generals for the Li case.

Although Gu Yuansian said that he was the first to complain, he was silent and in a trance since he went down to the court. When others spoke to him, he was also preoccupied, and it took a long time to answer the last sentence.

Fortunately, Wang Ningzhi ignored the grounding order and threw himself into the interrogation with great excitement.

He is a typical child of the Chang'an family, and he has good connections everywhere, and the chariot that crashed into the Li family is running like this.

Although the matter has already been solved, Afu is still not good at showing up.

She refused to be retained by the ladies in the palace, and asked Concubine Qiao for a token to prepare to return to Mu Jinheng's mansion.

Before leaving the palace, she suddenly remembered Xiang Yu. Since I used the excuse of sending her money, I might as well really go and see her.

In this dispute, Xiang Jia can be said to be on the cusp. Xiang Yan and Xiang Chun married to the Li family, and Xiang Ming was ready to put her to death the moment he told Li Xiang. As for Xiang Fu and Xiang Mingyan, they have long been inextricably linked with the Pei family, and they can't break away.

To put it mildly, this case is a storm that swept through the three provinces and six ministries; To put it mildly, this is the beginning of the real fragmentation of the Xiang family.

Among Afu's brothers and sisters, the one who has the least to do with this case has to be Xiang Yu, who is imprisoned in the deep palace.

Ah Fu felt funny, the world is always disturbed, who would have thought that in the end, the person who would end her life in a dull way is probably the most fierce cooking oil Xiang Beauty.

She held the small silver belt and knocked on the door of the cold palace.

A crack in the door was opened, revealing the face of a eunuch with ravines: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The sharp and fierce slit eyes swept Afu's ragged and bloated palace maid's clothes, and said impatiently.

Afu handed over a piece of broken silver: "I'm coming to see the beauty." ”

"Xiang Yu?" The man only spoke and did not move.

Afu handed over a small point: "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

She followed the old chamberlain who was lying on his back, through the cold palace that was so well organized that it was empty.

It's just the time of the warm winter sun, and groups of waste concubines bask on the steps.

Some people have gray hair, and some people still have green hair. This cold palace is probably the most evenly distributed place in age.

It wasn't until the last cabin in a dark corner that the interior stopped: "Here it is." ”

Seeing Afu looking around, he pouted and said, "It's Xiang Yu who wants to live here." ”

Afu nodded. Seeing that he looked arrogant, he had no choice but to give half a string of money.

She packed the purse and gently pushed the door.

The door was locked, and Xiang Yu said inside, "Who?" ”

Afu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your third sister." ”

There was no movement inside.

She sighed, looked around at the moss that grew to the top of the wall next to her, and the puddles of unknown liquid, and said, "I'll leave you some money, you remember to take it." ”

After saying that, he took out a small bag from the money bag, about two taels of extremely broken silver, put it on the windowsill, and turned to leave.

The door creaked open.

Ah Fu subconsciously turned her head and saw Xiang Yu dressed in white, her hair was not pulled up, but she could see that it was clean.

She is plain-faced, but her age and background are there, and she is still an unforgettable beauty. It is rare to see the sun, and the skin is a little sickly white.

Compared with the two, Afu, who is hard-working and sloppyly dressed, is not as "decent" as her.

She glared at Afu a little fiercely, reached out and grabbed the money bag, and quickly put it into the house, before saying, "The third sister is dressed like this, just to come to see me?" ”

Afu was dumbfounded for a moment.

Where did she still have the heart to pay attention to her makeup, but Xiang Yu had been locked up in the cold palace for more than three months, and she hadn't forgotten these flashiness.

But Afu didn't fight with her, just smiled: "Yes." ”

In fact, Xiang Yu is only sixteen years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age when Afu marries Pei Shuyu.

It's just that if nothing else, she can already see the head at a glance in her life. is like fireworks, once they bloom all over Chang'an, and then they fall lonely for a long time.

Xiang Yu hated Afu's smile. She didn't feel like she had a future.

The emperor is in the prime of life, where is the truth that a horse falls and dies. There has been no funeral in the palace for so long, which shows that the emperor has long been well.

Xiang Yu is young and beautiful, she dares to guarantee that one day as long as the emperor thinks of her and sees her, it is just a matter of morning and twilight.

But she suddenly reacted, and now this third sister has to be very angry. If she can come forward to lure the emperor over, it will not be much easier than settling with those old eunuchs every day.

She immediately said, "Why did the third sister think of this dirty place? Come in or not, don't get your feet dirty. ”

She didn't want to be pretended. Sometimes, once the anger is dispersed, it is even more unbearable to frighten others.

Afu looked at the black cave hut and shook her hand: "I'm not going." I have to go back. Xiang Yu, take this money to eat better, and change to a bright house. It's too wet in here, it's not good for your body. ”

Xiang Yu rarely got along with Afu since she was a child, but she remembered that Afu fought with Xiang Chun every day when she was a child, and the whole family recognized her as a little ancestor who couldn't be provoked.

When she saw the hunting ground, she herself was full of flowers, and she couldn't calm down to observe others. Only today did she realize that at some point, the third sister's expression was so calm and gentle.

This look to the rain has never been seen before.

She was accustomed to the impatient and the fierce and irascible people, and she knew how to deal with them; But she was helpless against such a desireless indifference.

Afu is indeed desireless and rigid. She didn't bother to show off to Xiang Yu, she didn't bother to pay attention to her own description, she didn't even bother to ask if the old eunuch was disrespectful to her - there were more important things in her life, she wanted revenge, she wanted to wait for someone.

When there is a distance that can be seen, the mud and potholes in front of you will naturally not be able to enter the eyes.

Looking at the rain in a daze, she smiled slightly: "In October, my sister-in-law told me that everything was fine with your mother in the village. People have no other thoughts, but they are a little better than at home. You can also relax, and maybe you can go out and reunite with your aunt in the future. ”

Xiang Yu was in a state of confusion, and in a hurry, he grabbed Afu's sleeve and said hurriedly: "Third sister, what about the emperor?" Won't the emperor come to me? ”

Afu didn't realize that she was still thinking about the emperor, and blurted out: "What is the emperor doing here?" ”

Seeing that Xiang Yu's face was pale, she made up again: "The emperor may not have found time." ”

felt that this was not good, and said simply: "Now that Concubine Qiao is back in favor, you also know that you and Niangniang are two completely different kinds, when the emperor loves Niangniang, that is, when he longs for a soul mate, how can he think of you." Sister, listen to my sister, don't think about that, you are still young, won't you be happy to go out of the palace in the future and live your life? ”

Xiang Yu's tears fell with a "snap".

When Afu saw her crying, she was so tired that she only felt that she had played the piano to the cow.

In fact, there is another reason.

Nowadays, the affairs of the world are not as important as her affairs. Except for Pei Shuyu and the Pei family, nothing can enter her heart.

Afu pulled out her sleeve and wiped a tear to Xiang Yu with the back of her hand, as the last bit of tenderness for her third sister.

When she went out, Afu gave the janitor a little money again, this time with a silver melon seed.

She just thought that this thing was just the right size, but it scared the old eunuch: this is the master's thing, this is not good--phew, the beautiful but sloppy little palace maid is either a personal attendant, or it is .....

He quickly knelt down: "Thank you, girl." ”

Ah Fu was full of worries and waved her hand: "Take it to a bar." ”

The old eunuch couldn't get up for a long time when he looked at her distant figure, there was no doubt that this was a master.

In addition to the palace, she was still sent back to his mansion by Mu Jinheng's servant.

She asked for a bucket of hot water, and the whole person ran inside, but she didn't feel any relaxation.

The curfew in Chang'an City has not been lifted, but the sound of horses' hooves and car bells jingle through the long night, and when you hear it, you can hear that officials with concessions are busy going back and forth.

She thought in her heart, but her body was too tired to climb out of the bathtub, and finally fell asleep.

After I don't know how many hours, I was woken up in a panic by the maid who came in to change the charcoal brazier: "Madam, madam, why did you sleep here, get up quickly, don't get cold!" ”

Afu was helped to stand up by her, felt that both legs were wooden, twisted her eyebrows, and said in a daze: "What about Wanwan?" Why didn't you call me? ”

At this point, she suddenly came to her senses, and her little nasal voice dispersed: "Master Mu is back?" "She'll have to ask Wanwan about it.

"Mrs. Hui, not yet."
