Chapter 350: The East Window Incident
The two important things have been completed, and Su Mian can finally get out of the small courtyard to relax.
She chose a sunny morning and walked out of the yard with Xiaoyue, holding back in the yard for a long time, as soon as she walked out of the yard, Su Mian suddenly felt the breath of freedom.
She stretched out her waist for a long time, and took a few deep breaths, although they were all in the harem, the place in that small courtyard was too small, and it was really a little depressing for Su Mian's character.
But Su Mian also knew that he was still in the palace, and there were still dangers around him, so Su Mian still didn't dare to let down his vigilance.
Just secretly stretched his waist and then took Xiaoyue around, Su Mian picked some places where there was no one, and naturally walked to the imperial garden.
In fact, there are still some psychological shadows for Su Mian in the Imperial Garden, after all, the conflict between himself and Wan Guifei is still vivid.
Su Mian was also afraid that places like the Imperial Garden were important places for concubines to haunt, and almost all concubines would come to the Imperial Garden when they were unsatisfactory or came out to relax.
And the scenery in the imperial garden is beautiful, and the place is also spacious, which is especially suitable for the concubines of the harem to be sad here.
However, Su Mian walked all the way, but found that the surrounding area of the Imperial Garden was sparsely populated, and although it was already autumn, the scenery of the Imperial Garden was still very good.
In order to ensure the beauty of the scenery, flowers bloom in every season, so many chrysanthemums and plum blossoms are planted in the Imperial Garden, so that the Imperial Garden will not look too gloomy in the cold autumn and winter.
Su Mian smelled the cold smell of chrysanthemums in the imperial garden from a distance, and she didn't like chrysanthemums very much, because she felt that chrysanthemums were too lonely.
Seeing chrysanthemums always has a sad feeling, but for the current Su Mian, there are fresh chrysanthemums to see, which is not lost in the fun.
So Su Mian walked along the path with Xiaoyue into the imperial garden, and the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden bloomed brilliantly, decorating the bleak autumn like a dream.
Su Mian took a few deep breaths of the quiet fragrance of chrysanthemums, and said that chrysanthemums can clear the heart and eyes, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums can really make people sober.
The imperial garden is very large, the chrysanthemums are blooming dottedly, and from time to time there is a bleak autumn wind blowing and wrapping a few yellow fallen leaves, Su Mian couldn't help but shrink a little, this weather is really going to be cold.
At this time, Xiao Yue saw her movements: "Master, are you cold?" Why don't we go back. ”
Su Mian shook his head and said with a smile: "It's rare that at this time, there is no one in the Imperial Garden, such a large Imperial Garden, now it belongs to the two of us, how can there be no reason not to appreciate it?" ”
After saying that, she tightened her clothes again, and shuttled through the flowers and plants in the imperial garden with Xiao Yue.
Even if Su Mian and Xiao Yue kept shuttling in the Imperial Garden, they were only a small part of the Imperial Garden.
However, at this small distance, Su Mian found a problem, that is, this imperial garden was also cold and a little abnormal.
Although the weather is gradually getting colder, there is also a little bleak in the imperial garden, and the scenery is not as good as before, but none of the concubines in this palace have come to the imperial garden.
The chrysanthemums in the garden can only bloom lonely, not to mention the master's mother, even if it is the palace maid and the eunuch, Su Mian didn't see a few.
It's really strange, could it be that something happened in this imperial garden?
At this time, another cold wind blew, and Xiao Yue couldn't help but shrink her neck: "Master, I always feel that the atmosphere in this imperial garden is a little wrong, cold and cautious, otherwise we will go around elsewhere." ”
Su Mian actually wanted to take a turn here, although there was no one in this imperial garden, but it was a good thing for Su Mian, she wished that there was no one around, so that she could release her nature.
But seeing Xiao Yue's scared look, Su Mian had to nod and take Xiao Yue's hand and walk back.
They had only taken a few steps back when they saw Xiao Xiangzi running over breathlessly from a distance, "Master, why did you come to this place?" ”
Su Mian couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Xiao Xiangzi's appearance: "There is nothing important happening, why are you running in such a hurry, it doesn't matter if you say it slowly." ”
Xiao Xiangzi let out a long breath before he spoke: "The slave also just heard from others that there have been strange things in this imperial garden recently, and it is an unlucky place. ”
Su Mian nodded in agreement.
No wonder, it must be because the people in this palace have many superstitions, so no one dares to come here.
Xiao Xiangzi was a little anxious, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead: "Master, let's hurry up, it's just autumn, the weather is so cold, and there are some unlucky things happening in this imperial garden, it's better to leave here quickly, don't look for bad luck." ”
Su Mian couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart, what is unlucky, everything, something is abnormal, someone must be making trouble, this little Xiangzi is too superstitious.
But seeing Xiao Xiangzi's anxious gaze and Xiao Yue's somewhat shrunken appearance, Su Mian still nodded, took Xiao Yue and Xiao Xiangzi, and left the imperial garden.
On the way, Su Mian asked Xiao Xiangzi directly, "The location of this imperial garden is also good, and there are many people who come to the imperial garden all day long, why is it unlucky?" ”
As soon as Xiao Xiangzi heard Su Mian's inquiry, he also told the rumors.
"It was nothing before, but the slave heard from others that a few days ago, for some reason, all the lotus flowers in the imperial garden died, and even the goldfish raised in it turned up from the water one by one, and it is said that the death was extremely miserable."
After speaking, Xiao Xiangzi shuddered, which really made Su Mian feel strange.
"But why do you know this?"
Su Mian remembered that he had always been by his side, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't know much about things outside...
I saw Xiao Xiangzi shake his head, "Today, the master came out, and the slave also had time to say a few words to his former friend, but he heard that they were all spreading the strange things that happened in this imperial garden, and the slave was worried about the safety of the master, so he hurried over to report the news." ”
Looking at Xiao Xiangzi's appearance, he was very moved, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Xiangzi and said, "Good job." ”
Xiao Xiangzi listened to Su Mian praising himself, and he was a little embarrassed, "For the sake of the master's safety, it is a matter for the slave, and if you say this, the slave is a little embarrassed." ”
Su Mian smiled and didn't say anything.
The three of them found a secluded path again, Su Mian walked slowly, she was very puzzled now, logically speaking, a place like the Imperial Garden is so conspicuous, and there are many people who come and go every day, even if someone is doing something in it, it is not an easy thing.
Besides, the Imperial Garden is a very eye-catching place, why do they want to do something to the Imperial Garden?
Su Mian didn't know much about the things in the harem, but she also knew that most of the ghosts and gods were lies, and the most terrifying thing was the human heart, and she didn't know who was planning what in this palace.
Soon the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, could it be related to the sacrificial ceremony?
Su Mian shook his head, no matter what it had to do with it, he must cheer up recently, be cautious in his words and deeds, and never get into the muddy waters of this harem.
After going out for a walk, Su Mianjiao's mood was unusually comfortable, she ate two more bowls of rice at noon, and in the afternoon she lay comfortably on the bed, counting with her fingers.
The day after tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, this time the queen mother is very satisfied with the dress she made, and she has never gone out because of a lot of work in her hands recently.
During this time, the Queen Mother should be very satisfied with herself, as long as she successfully survives the sacrifice ceremony, maybe the Queen Mother will let herself out as soon as she is in a good mood.
Thinking of this, Su Mian couldn't help but feel very happy.
In fact, the days in the small courtyard are also very comfortable, and sometimes Su Mian will think of Beichen Yu and his peach blossom luck.
But Su Mian knew that he couldn't help himself what he was doing here, so even if he was distressed, it would be useless.
Rather than this, it is better to take care of your body during this time, after all, you have experienced too many injuries before, and this time you should take care of it, and it will be enough to deal with the difficulties later.
So Su Mian also lived a leisurely life of drinking tea and dozing off.
In the past few days, Shen Jasmine has always been a little uneasy, and she is naturally clear in her heart about the strange things that came out of the Imperial Garden.
She'd heard rumors about bad luck in the Imperial Garden, but she hadn't stopped it.
Later, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and Shen Jasmine was a little scared for a while, but she soon made up her mind.
After all, Xiaocui's family is still in her own hands, even if this matter is investigated to Xiaocui's head, she will only die, after all, according to Xiaocui's character, she will not joke with her family's life, so Shen Jasmine's heart is also a little settled.
But this plan is only half of the success, although Xiao Cui sprinkled poison on the queen mother's clothes, but the queen mother, whether she can wear the clothes on her body is still unknown.
And recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the Imperial Garden, and the people in the palace seem to be more cautious, which is not good news for Shen Jasmine, which means that there is a high probability that her plan will be discovered.
However, even if it is discovered, Shen Jasmine can also change hands and push this matter onto Su Mian, and at that time, whether it is the Queen Mother or Su Mian, as long as one is eliminated, her plan will be considered complete.
In order to avoid suspicion, Shen Jasmine has shirked her physical discomfort in recent days, and basically does not go out.
The upcoming sacrificial ceremony is a hurdle for Shen Jasmine, and if this hurdle can be successfully passed, there will be one less stumbling block on her way.
