Qin Se sighed lightly, and his voice was a little softer, "Don't worry, it's okay, you don't have to be afraid, Xu blames Bengong for burning paper money for them for so long, so it fell into the iron basin, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Listening to Qin Se's comfort, Hongye raised her head tremblingly, her eyes were red, and her tears were still folding, "Niangniang..."

Qin Sewan smiled and stretched out his hand to Momiji, "Let the main palace take a look, but it's hurt?" ”

Momiji said "um", and slowly handed over his chubby little hand, and the four fingertips were red, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.

Qin Se frowned, and gently poured the cold water on the table, "Why is it so serious?" ”

The warm tea moistened the red fingertips, and the brief coolness under the scorching heat calmed the heart of the red leaves a little.

"I'll go to the host here to ask for some medicine later, so I will say that the palace wants it."

When the tea was poured, Qin Se did not dare to bandage her with a handkerchief, so she had to be exposed to the air like this.

Momiji trembled and withdrew his hand, clutched his tears, nodded, and turned to look at the falling iron basin and the confetti all over the ground, and when the wind blows, it will fly all over the sky.

Qin Se looked at the red leaves, and said with relief from time to time: "It's good to find a maid to clean it up, saying that it is paper money burned for the eldest princess, and no one will be suspicious, it doesn't matter."

Hongye looked at Qin Se gratefully, thought for a while and said: "Niangniang, there is a big smell of smoke in the house, and the confetti in the house is afraid that it is not good for your health, the slave and maid help you out for a walk, and let the palace maid come over to clean up one or two."

"It's fine."

Qin Se thought about it, the smell of smoke in the house was really strong, and it didn't hurt to go out for a walk, so he stretched out his hand and put it on Momiji's hand that was not injured, and went out.

Outside the house is the late autumn season, the temple is built on the high mountain, the season on the mountain is always better than the evening at the bottom of the mountain, the dead branches and broken trees under the mountain, the mountain is only slightly yellowed, has not yet withered, there are some chrysanthemums with buds to bloom on the left and right, it is very gratifying.

After leaving the house, Qin Se accompanied Momiji to find the host to ask for medicine, and after the search, he did not go back to the house directly, but went to walk in the garden in the backyard of the temple.

The red leaves expose the burned area to the air, just smeared, the hot pain, and just when it was scalded, it was not too much, under the exposure, the autumn wind blew, but there was a bit of coolness, blowing away a little hot pain.

"..."

Momiji just called out, but he stopped talking.

Qin Sewan smiled, "If you want to ask anything, just ask... The people in the temple all gathered at the Queen Mother, and there was no one in the back mountain. ”

Hongye was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "The slave is just curious about the matter of Master Hanlin..."

"Curious about what?"

Hongye was bold, and all the doubts in his heart came out in one go, "The slave maid heard that the Hanlin Bachelor was full of fraud in the imperial examination, what is the relationship between the mother and the Hanlin Bachelor?" How could he take such a big risk to help him wash away his grievances? ”

"He..."

Qin Se looked at the jungle maple tree in the distance, and there was a sad look between his eyebrows, "It's my father." ”

"Mother's father?!"

Momiji exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief, "But at the beginning, the whole door was slashed... How could a mother? ”

Qin Se smiled bitterly and said: "Although Master Hanlin is the father of the palace, the mother of the palace is a singer and dancer, and she has never been named, so I am just raised outside, and I don't want to be able to escape in the end."

"But..."

The red leaves were stunned, I didn't know what to say, but I didn't expect there to be such a relationship.

"Do you remember the rich businessman surnamed Lin and a trafficker named Ma San who the palace asked you to find?"

Momiji pondered for a moment, and then responded, "The slave still remembers."

A few traces of gloomy hatred flashed in Qin Se's pupils, and his voice gradually became a little gloomy, "Hanlin Bachelor is full of beheading, although this palace is not a person from Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion, but he has not completely escaped, he was sold into slavery, and the peach petal behind his left shoulder was originally the mark of a slave." The trafficker named Ma San was the official dog leg who bought and sold the official of the palace, a wealthy merchant surnamed Lin, who had worked as a slave in his family's mansion. As for the aunt of the main palace, she fell ill and died on the way to sell. ”

Qin Se said that the clouds were light and light, and the waves were not alarmed, but the red leaves were frightened when they listened, she thought that the lady in the palace was a phoenix on the branches, although she was born a dancer, but she should also be a young lady from a wealthy family, and she never thought that it would be like this.

"... Have these years been hard? ”

Qin Se was stunned, her frozen heart suddenly became sore, and her eyes were astringent, she had come over all these years, but she really hadn't thought about whether it was hard or not, and no one had ever asked her whether she was working hard or not.

Wan Er smiled, "It's all over..."

"..."

Momiji looked at Qin Se's side face, and always felt an inexplicable sadness, drooping eyebrows, and sparkling pupils.

"Why do you want to wash away the grievances of Master Hanlin and take advantage of yourself, after all, Niangniang is not real..."

Momiji dared to say it, but as for the words later, Momiji didn't dare to finish it. She also didn't understand, since she was not a real lady from a wealthy family, she was just an illegitimate child raised in the outer room, so she shouldn't have much affection for Master Hanlin, so why bother to bury her life in order to help him wash away his grievances.

If he hadn't entered the palace at the beginning, Niangniang and Xu Sangongzi would have been an enviable pair now.

Qin Se understood what Momiji meant, so he didn't get angry and blame him, but just explained, "Maybe you don't believe it... Daddy and Auntie knew each other very unexpectedly, but it was love at first sight, at that time, Daddy already had a wife and a few concubines, but Auntie didn't mind. But even so, Daddy's mother was afraid of A-Niang's identity as a singer and dancer, and she didn't want her to enter the house, and she didn't want to give A-Niang the identity of a little concubine, and A-Dad couldn't disobey his mother, so he had to keep me and A-Niang in the house outside the house. ”

"Although A-Niang has never had a name, but A-Niang doesn't care, because she really likes Daddy, Daddy also likes Auntie, three days and two ends of the run through the courtyard, Daddy is also very good to the palace, probably because of the love of the house and Wu, Daddy doesn't like children, but the palace is obedient, it's a pity... Before Daddy gave her identity, A-Niang was tragically betrayed. ”

"Although this palace is an illegitimate child who is raised in the outer room and cannot see the light, but under the care of Daddy and Auntie, he is also happy, so Daddy's grievances must be washed away for him, Daddy is upright all his life, and he will definitely not do such an unbearable thing as cheating in the imperial examination, and he is just being used as a scapegoat."
