Then the questioning eyes shot at the old lady like a cold and sharp sword.

The old lady looked at her, and her heart was suddenly very nervous, and finally she had to lower her head, as if she no longer dared to raise her eyes to look at the majestic face of the person who was on the top, so she recalled timidly and said: "At the behest of the old slave, the old slave accompanied the queen who was about to give birth to Xiqin. The old slave knew that this matter was very important, and he didn't dare to miss the mother's big thing. ”

After a pause, he seemed to have a lot of unbearability in his heart, but in the end, he pretended to be calm and said: "At that time, we planned to follow Niangniang's arrangement and see why Empress Yan insisted on returning to Western Qin after arriving at the land of Western Qin?" After that, he found an opportunity to get rid of the queen and the evil obstacles in her abdomen. Before the old slave and others could do it, they discovered a secret ......"

After hearing this, he asked with interest, "Secret?" What secret? ”

The old lady thought about it in her heart, and seemed to be quite shocked to this day, and said: "An accompanying guard found out that Empress Yan had sneaked into the Western Qin Palace at night. ”

Then he was surprised: "What? The Western Qin Imperial Palace? How could she, a pregnant woman with no background and a pregnant woman, who had no power to restrain her chickens, not be blocked by the heavy guards in the palace, and go to the palace of the Emperor of Western Qin at night alone? What did she go there for? ”

The old lady seemed to be puzzled to this day, shaking her head while trying to remember.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she remembered something again, and said: "By the way, after Empress Yan arrived in the Western Qin Kingdom, she once went to the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city to burn incense, and once met a monk. ”

Then he frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Monk? ”

The old lady nodded and continued: "In the temple that day, the old slave and several other maidservants and guards were all guarding outside the door, so they didn't really hear the conversation between the two inside. The old slave only faintly saw that the monk seemed to have handed a ...... to the queen Bracelet! ”

Hearing this, he was shocked and asked again and again: "Bracelets? The monk gave the slut a bracelet? Are you sure you're right? What kind of bracelet is that? ”

Thinking of that stunner in the world, the old lady is afraid that she will never forget what she looks like for the rest of her life.

At this moment, she didn't seem to think about it, and blurted out: "The old slave will never forget it for the rest of his life, it is a beautiful colorful gold silk jade bracelet, which looks extremely rare in the world!" ”

Then he felt incredible, and was secretly thinking to himself that the slut was not teaching a monk privately, could there be some ulterior secret between them......

At the same time, the old mother's words still echoed in her ears: "After returning to the inn from the City God Temple, the old slave often saw the queen holding the bracelet in her hand in a daze, as if she had just cried every time. But as soon as she saw the old slave enter, she hurriedly put away the bracelet again. ”

After a while, the old lady suddenly realized for some reason: "Could it be that the reason why Empress Yan can enter and leave freely in the Western Qin Palace is related to this precious colorful gold silk jade bracelet?" ”

The rest of his thoughts were interrupted instantly, but he asked disapplausively, "Why is it that the bracelet is not a private gift between the monk and the slut?" ”

The old lady seemed to say in a very affirmative tone: "This is the eye contact between lovers, the old slave has seen a lot in the palace, look at the relationship between the monk and the queen mother...... The two of them shouldn't be that kind of relationship, and between them, it seems like they've never seen each other before. ”

After pausing for a moment, and then sorting out what she had seen back then, the old lady suddenly speculated: "The old slave was outside the door and closest to the inside, and I vaguely heard the monk seem to say something like 'things return to their original owners, don't lose them again'." Therefore, the old slave felt that this bracelet should have belonged to the queen's mother, and the monk should have returned it to its original owner! ”

After speaking, he seemed to hesitate a little and said, "But ......"

Then he asked, "But what?" ”

The old lady said: "However, after Queen Yan came back from the Western Qin Palace, she became even more worried all day long, as if there were more unspeakable secrets, but no matter who asked, she didn't say a word." ”

Then he thought for a moment, spat out and asked, "What about later?" ”

The old lady recalled the past, and it seemed that she was still a little afraid that she couldn't speak, so she finally gritted her teeth and had to say: "Just one day, I happened to pass through a dangerous place, and suddenly met a group of black-clothed masked people. In the end, in order to save a young man from Western Qin who seemed to be chased and killed by this group, Empress Yan was forced to fall off the cliff by the group of masked people in Western Qin at the cost of her own corpse and two lives. The old slave and the others were scattered by the masked men, and the old slave thought that 'to see people in life, and to see corpses in death', so he led people along the mountain road to search, and finally found the bones of a woman and the golden hairpin worn by the queen in the ashes of a thatched house in the mountain stream. ”

The old lady endured the huge pain in her heart and said, reached out and took out a delicate gold-inlaid jade phoenix hairpin from her sleeve pocket and offered it to her hands: "Niangniang, please look! ”

At that time, a maidservant standing beside him came down the steps, took the golden hairpin from his hand, and returned it to his side, and handed his hands in front of him.

Then he slowly picked it up in his hand and looked at it for a while, it seemed a little familiar, but it seemed that he couldn't remember it for a while, and he only muttered in his mouth: "This golden hairpin, why does this palace look so familiar?" ”

The old lady who was kneeling in the hall replied with a clear memory: "This golden hairpin is exactly the congratulatory gift that the queen mother personally sent when the imperial doctor concluded that the queen mother was happy!" This golden hairpin was originally a pair, and the queen was in the help of the queen, so that she could return to Xiqin to see. So on the day of departure, he gave one of them to the queen mother. It is also said that when the pair of golden hairpins meet again, it is the day when the queen mother and the queen sisters are reunited, but it is a pity that ......"

Following the old grandmother's words, she suddenly fell into the deep memories of the past between the two sisters in the past, and couldn't extricate herself for a long time.

When he suddenly came to his senses, he turned into a hideous face and roared at him: "Bastard, what are you doing with this big pile of useless? ”

Hearing this, the old lady immediately shut up.

Then while playing with the golden hairpin in his hand, he said casually: "Unknowingly, so much time has passed, and this palace really can't remember it at all." However, seeing that this golden hairpin is still so well preserved today, it can be seen that on weekdays, you must not have paid less attention to seeing things and thinking about people, taking care of it, right? ”

After speaking, his eyes suddenly looked at the old mother, and the old mother raised her head in surprise and said, "Queen mother, old slave ......"

Then he slapped the table in his hand fiercely, and was angry at him without saying anything: "Fool, since we have found out that there are thatched huts in the mountains, it proves that there were people living here in the mountains at that time." And you, only found a female corpse and this thing. ”

As he spoke, he threw the golden hairpin that he was still holding firmly in his hand in front of him, and the golden hairpin fell to the ground and was immediately broken into several pieces.

After that, he was still puzzled, and continued: "Didn't you think that it is very likely that the slut has given birth to a sin in the abdomen after falling off the cliff and has been taken away. Why did you shovel the grass and not remove the roots, and seek out the whereabouts of the child? ”

The old lady hurriedly explained: "At that time, the old slave also had some doubts about this, so he took people to search for many days in the mountains, but he didn't think about it but found nothing, so he ......."

Then he added: "So when you came back to the palace, you lied to the palace that the slut had fallen off the cliff and was shattered!" ”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and after many years, I didn't know that there was such a big secret in the events of the year, so I raised my voice in anger and ordered: "Come on, pull this Diao slave down to the palace and behead him immediately." ”

Suddenly, two guards came in and drove the old lady out, and the old woman was full of panic but still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and prayed to her: "The queen mother spares her life!" The queen spared her life......"

However, he looked at his back as he was dragged away, half-narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: "For this day, only the dead can keep the secret forever!" ”

After a while, he came back to his senses, and then suddenly muttered to himself worriedly: "If the fetus in the womb of that slut has really been born, there will be a day when the Hao'er of this palace is ......."

As soon as she thought of this, she gritted her teeth and said: "No, this palace will never allow it, and no one will be allowed to rob me of my life's work." Whether it belongs to Hao'er or Yuan'er, no, can't, can't ......"

The room was silent.

Then he suddenly stood up, walked down the steps, slowly moved to the golden hairpin that had just broken to the ground, bent his knees and squatted down, picked up the fragments on the ground, and got up again and went back to the dormitory with a sad face.

He sat down at the dresser and reached out to open the bottom layer of the jewelry box that seemed to have been dusty for many years.

The same golden hairpin appeared, and she held the one tightly in her other hand that was exactly the same as hers, but it had just been destroyed by herself, and now it was already in pieces.

He whispered in his mouth: "As you wish, after many years, these two golden hairpins are now finally reunited!" But you and I ......."

Scenes of the past, sad or happy, suddenly came to his heart......

A few days later, it was the first day.

On this day, although it is winter, there is no wind, the sun is really good, the sun is warm, I feel that the bones of the whole body are almost crispy, and there are wonderful opera performances in the palace to watch, everyone feels that this is really the happiest thing in life.
