Chapter Eighty-Eight: Fake Joy

The weather is fine. The sky is as clear as a wash. It's winter. The Imperial Garden is still intertwined with flowers and trees. Lush greenery.

Jia Guiren took a nap. Fang came out of the palace. A group of palace people hugged her on their shoulders and walked along the palace wall. Just crossed the pebble road. The palace man who raised his shoulders stopped. Jia Guiren was slightly surprised and listened to Lan Yan say: "Master. Hooray, Lord ahead."

Only then did Jia Guiren see the figure in the pavilion in the distance. The emperor dressed in a dark color twelve chapters of dragon pattern was talking to the shadow beside him. The woman wore a smoky blue shirt. He is looking up slightly and smiling. Jia Guiren's eyes sank. Lan Yan said: "Master. Shall we go back?"

Jia Guiren's tone froze: "Why do you want to go back?"

Lan Yan was dumbfounded. Jia Guiren slowly stood up. Lan Yan hurriedly reached out to hold her. I only heard Jia Guiren smile faintly: "Since it has arrived. If you go back, you won't be disappointed by such good weather. Only two of them went with me. Let's go back to the rest first."

And they withdrew. Jia Guiren pulled the broken hair of his sideburns. "Let's go."

"I have instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to proceed with the matter of canonizing you. What kind of title do you want?" Hongli said in a low voice.

Su Yi was taken aback. stared blankly at Hongli. Hongli smiled faintly: "Didn't you say yesterday that you weren't the master of Qiu Ruoyunrou. With the title, you are their rightful master."

"I didn't mean that......" Su Yi snorted. Xu because of embarrassment. His cheeks were stained crimson. Hongli saw her embarrassed appearance, and his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little. Wen Sheng said, "I naturally know that you don't mean that. But I don't want to wronged you. You are now a palace maid, if you want to be a concubine, you are only afraid that the etiquette system is not in line. I have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to re-enter the Han Army Banner in addition to your palace maid's slave status. Your father's case has been rehabilitated, and you will not have to live with the burden of the daughter of a criminal in the future."

The person in front of him is the Ninety-Five, but at this time, he is eyebrows. Soft talk. That kind of tenderness is not without a trace of emotion. Hold back the tears that are about to fall. Biting his lip, he said, "Su Yi doesn't care about those ......"

Hongli held her hand. I just feel cold in my hand. A trace of pity suddenly rose in my heart. But I heard a delicate voice sound: "The concubine asks for peace to the Lord Banzai." Su Yi hurriedly looked up and saw that the nobleman was wearing a green river silk flat gold and silver twined branch robe. Hire Ting. A glass treasure tassel rustles around the collar in the hair. The sunlight fell on the glass and was slightly dazzling.

Hongli didn't expect her to come. Slightly stunned. Fang Dao." Get up."

I saw that the noble man was looking at himself. Su Yi hurriedly stood up and wanted to salute her. Jia Guiren walked up to her and held her. smiled and said, "Suyi. Don't do that. It's just that Long Live Lord is here, and there is no one else, so why be polite."

Hongli did not stop it. Su Yi became more and more embarrassed. The scene when the Jia nobles came to find themselves that night is still vivid. When I saw her at this time, I couldn't help but think of Gu Yanzhao. My heart was filled with bitterness. It's uncomfortable. wringing the handkerchief in his hand uneasily.

Jiagui said: "I can't complain that I went to the ear room to find Suyi, but I am not there. I was visiting the Imperial Garden with Banzai Ye......"

Su Yi smiled sheepishly. But Hongli said, "You came just in time. I am preparing to canonize Suyi. You think about what a good title there is for her."

Jia Guiren was stunned. raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yi, but saw that Su Yi was hanging her head. His gaze flashed with a strange light. But after a while, it returned to normal. "That's a good thing. But Long live the lord should have informed the concubine in advance. Now call the concubine want. How can a concubine come up with a good name for a while?"

Hongli smiled: "It doesn't matter. And not in a hurry. The New Year is coming up in a few days. After the New Year, the canonization ceremony will be carried out."

Jia Guiren still has a smile on his face. But my heart sank.

The clouds are thick. The north wind is howling. The plum blossoms in the courtyard are also swaying. Flower shadows intertwined. Dark incense floating.

Hongli wears a bright yellow satin embroidered cloud dragon marten inlaid sea dragon leather robe. The outside is covered with a black fox end hood. It is coming out of the Xianfu Palace. He was followed by a woman with a graceful figure. The concubine-colored fox cloak reflected her little face brightly, and it was Jia Guiren.

"The plum blossoms in your courtyard are really good." Hongli raised his eyes and looked around, only to see the red plum in the courtyard. Slowly in full bloom. The wind howled and swept the plum fragrance into the heart. Incredibly sweet.

Jia Guiren couldn't help but smile. Fingers slowly stroked the petals of a plum blossom: "The concubine has always liked plum blossoms. The Four Gentlemen of Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum. Plum blossoms are in the first place. It's proud. Not afraid of the cold. Neither effeminate nor flattering. It has its own unique charm."

Hongli also admired the chin of the head.

A group of palace people surrounded the two people and went out of Xianfu Gate. Walk along the palace wall. When I turned the corner, I saw several palace maids carrying burdens and carrying the common obedience of folk women, and came out of Yongchengmen. Jia Guiren couldn't help but sigh. said: "These palace maids think they have reached the age of leaving the palace......

Hongli nodded. At this time of year, many palace maids are released from the palace......" Before the words fell, one of the palace maids was knocked to the ground by a small eunuch. The contents of the baggage are scattered all over the place. Then I heard a loud noise.

Hongli frowned. His gaze skimmed over the palace people. He was about to leave, but his eyes fell on the veil on the ground. That's Fang Sushui's silk handkerchief. Orchids were embroidered only in one corner. The simple and familiar lines shocked him. He walked up to the maid. The palace maid was still leaning over to pick up things. He looked down at the silk handkerchief. The orchid in the lower right corner is an embroiderer he couldn't be more familiar with. Just except for orchids. There is also a small seal embroidered on the silk handkerchief.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly. The face is calm, and it is only impossible to distinguish between joy and anger. Squinted at Wu Shulai. Wu Shulai immediately leaned over and picked up the silk handkerchief and handed it to Hongli. Hongli looked at the words on the silk handkerchief steadily. The nobleman followed him closely. I only perceive the oppression of the atmosphere. The palace maids and eunuchs had already knelt down. The maid who picked up the things picked up the scattered objects one by one. Only to hear a cold voice sound: "Stand up."

The palace maid looked up at this time and saw that it was the emperor, and her legs trembled, so she knelt down. Hongli's voice was slightly impatient: "Get up."

The woman of the palace stood up tremblingly. But he didn't even dare to lift his head.

"It's yours." Hongli asked.

"Back to the words of the Lord Long Live. Yes." The maid replied.

"Where did it come from?" Hongli asked again.

"The minions embroidered it themselves."

Hongli raised a smile that was vague. It's just that there is a grim look in his dark eyes." You embroidered it yourself. So what's written on it?"

The palace maid trembled. "Yes...... It's ......"

"I'm not telling the truth yet." Hongli paused. He turned around and said, "Send it to the Criminal Division."

"Hooray." When the palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground." The minion said. This handkerchief was given to a close friend of the slave's boudoir."

"A close friend of the boudoir will embroider such a word on the handkerchief." Hongli smiled.

I saw that the maid of the palace bowed her head splendidly. Hongli suddenly ran out of patience. Said to Wu Shulai." It's up to you to take care of it." Then he turned and left. Walked a few steps and looked back at Jiagui. You go back. Be careful not to catch the wind chill when the wind is blowing."

Jia Guiren bowed slightly. Looking at the bright yellow figure farther and farther away. A smile bloomed on his lips.

It's dark very early in winter. It was a cloudy day again. The sky darkened. The Forbidden City is shrouded in a thick fog. Everywhere in the morning lights up. From afar, it looks like a bonfire shrouded in mist. I can't see it really. The splendor is still splendour, but it makes people feel solemn and gloomy. I could only hear the north wind howling from the window.

The window in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace is newly sealed with the smoke yarn of Jiangning weaving Fugong. Although it is light and thin, it is impermeable. A milky white layer. The nine-legged red dragon lampstand next to the dragon desk was lit with red candles as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Silent night. I could only hear the sparks from the candle flame burst slightly, and the beep was very crisp. The orange candle flame reflects the figure of Hongli sitting in front of the emperor very tall. It's just that there is a little oppression in the tall.

Wu Shulai knelt on the right side of the royal front. Hongli's shadow just hung over him. He hung his head. My heart was only tightened for a while, and it was tightened for a while. Warm Pavilion Riben burned the fire dragon. It is extremely warm to put a hot pot in it. There was a cold sweat in his palms. The emperor ascended the throne in less than a year. He was in front of the emperor for a long time, but he didn't understand the emperor's temper after all. You must know that the Son of Heaven is angry. Millions of corpses. Thousands of miles of blood. His heart was just uneasy. In the corner of the west window, there is a Western chiming bell on the table of the red sandalwood plum square. The vast warm pavilion could only hear the slight sound of the pendulum moving.

Hongli sat in front of the emperor. Motionless. I can't tell what kind of expression it looks on my face. Indifferent but tired. A pair of eyes are pitch black at this time. It's like a bottomless abyss. It makes people feel unfathomable. He didn't know how long he had been sitting. I could only hear the chiming bell ring ten times and return to my thoughts. Seeing that Wu Shulai was still kneeling in front of the case, he said, "Go and pass on Suyi."

Wu Shulai was so busy answering the amnesty that he retreated.

There was a deathly silence in the warm pavilion. Hongli's gaze slowly moved down to the silk handkerchief on the case. Sushui's veil only hooked the bluegrass in one corner. Above is a row of delicate and elegant small seals: drunk spring shirts cherish the old fragrance. The sky will be free from hatred and madness. Autumn grass grows every year. Day by day in the building to the sunset. The clouds are misty. The water is vast. There are many long ways to recruit people. The partridge day of Yan Jidao. But it wasn't finished. The next sentence is lovesick and is unfounded. Don't go to the flower note to shed tears.

He stared at the ink on the handkerchief. The depths of his dark eyes gradually turned out to glow red. The light gradually magnified. It was so hot and so hot that it seemed to burn it all down. Next to the veil is a corner of broken letterhead. It seems to be a corner after being burned by fire. Only a few words are revealed: The world is safe and perfect...... Next to the letterhead is a small Hetian jade pendant. The texture is delicate and the workmanship is excellent. Above is the pattern of the blessed soul. He'd seen the jade pendant. In the ninth year of Yongzheng, Gu Yan Zhaosai hunted a black bear by a layman. The first emperor gave the jade pendant to Gu Yanzhao.

Looking at the glorious jade pendant, I only felt that the bitterness was tumbling from the depths of my heart. It was so miserable that I felt even my breath tingle. He slowly reached out and pulled away the jade pendant. It was as if he was going to pick up the letterhead. I hesitated for a long time but didn't pick it up. The heart is just cold. Chill the heart. It also hurts my heart. The letter was thrown into the furnace by the maid of the palace in a hurry. Only a few words remain. But these few words alone already made him feel terrible. He evoked a wry smile. Even God had mercy on him. I can't bear to let him see her longing for another person. If the letter had been intact, would he have had the courage to open it?

He doesn't know. He thought he had never been afraid of anything in his life. But he still couldn't believe the handkerchief that was placed in front of him. Don't want to believe it. It's just like waking up from a dream in an instant. What if the letterhead was in good condition and he had seen it. It's just a laughing stock. He knew so. knew that the lover in her heart was not him. I knew that she was just pretending to be happy with him. But he was still deeply immersed in her watery gaze. Since when. His dignity as emperor was trampled on by her. He was so good to her. He thought she was moved after all. But it turned out that he was deceiving himself. She never had him in her heart. Never......

There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. Fingers gripped the handkerchief tightly. The distinct knuckles are faintly whitish......

Su Yi hurriedly followed Wu Shulai's footsteps. The cold wind was biting, and I couldn't help but shiver. It's almost over. She was already asleep, but she saw Wu Shu to spread the word that the emperor wanted to see her. The mind is just doubts. She thought that the emperor was going to stay in Xianfu Palace today. And it's the hour again. Why don't you see her in the middle of the night?

The Xinuan Pavilion of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts. Wu Shulai led her all the way in. When he went to the emperor, he saluted: "Long live the lord. Su Yi is here."

Su Yi's doubts were even worse. When she just came in, there were only a few palace people outside the house. And there is no one in the warm pavilion who serves the emperor. Hongli sat in front of the emperor. Drooping eyelids. Expressionless. Su Yi raised her eyes slightly and glanced at it. I just feel that the atmosphere is stagnant. I only heard Hongli's voice sound: "You go out." But there is no temperature at all. so that people cannot distinguish between joy and anger; Su Yi chuckled in her heart. I became more and more uneasy. Seeing Wu Shulai, he responded to the warm pavilion. But Hongli still just sat motionless in front of the emperor. I felt even more uneasy in my heart.

"Suyi ......" seems to have passed for a long time. A soft call suddenly sounded in the silent warm pavilion.

Su Yi looked up at Hongli when he heard the sound. But I saw that Hongli's eyes were not on her. but fell on the handkerchief on the case. Su Yi was slightly stunned in her heart. He whispered, "The minion is here."

"Suyi. What do you think of me?" Hongli suddenly looked up at her. Ask.

Su Yi looked at him in a daze. The corners of his lips went up. It's smiling. But there was no smile in his eyes. A pair of dark eyes were dark. Su Yi's heart jumped. Biting his lip, he said, "Long live the lord is naturally excellent for the slaves."

Hongli suddenly stood up. Step by step, we are close to the prime. The warm pavilion is covered with a very thick carpet of beavers. Boots stepped on and sunk into half a finger's depth. The footsteps were silent. Su Yi hung her head and caught a glimpse of the bright yellow clouds, satin, vines, rice beads, and boots approaching her inch by inch. For no reason, there is a panic. As Hongli approaches step by step. She involuntarily stepped back. I was also surprised in my heart. In a panic, he stopped. Hongli's tall figure completely covered her. She looked up slightly, but saw his face hidden in the shadows, so that it was impossible to see. He suddenly lowered his head and approached him. Su Yi hung her head hurriedly. His breath squirted around her neck. Scorching and intense. Her face flushed with shame, but she didn't see his cold eyes. Hongli's heart was just a pang of pain. She didn't like him touching her after all. He smiled slightly, "I remember that you like orchids the most."

This is a common question. But he looked like that. Su Yi was just scared in her heart. "Yes......"

Hongli suddenly turned around and walked to the front of the palace. Su Yi's heart was slightly relieved. Hongli's gaze fell on the handkerchief. The fierce color in his eyes is fully revealed. The voice is still unwavering: "Your handkerchief is also mostly painted with orchid patterns."

Su Yi exhaled: "Yes......"

Hongli's hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist. The green tendons on the frontal area suddenly jumped straight. Su Yi could only see that his body was tense, as if he was trying to suppress something. Out of his mind, he saw Hongli grab the object on the case and throw it at Su Yi. In an instant, I only heard the jade pendant hitting the pillar with a very crisp sound. Su Yi was taken aback. Hurriedly knelt down. The thin silk handkerchief circled in the air and landed in front of her. Su Yi looked at the silk handkerchief and only doubted in her heart. Hongli Sen's cold voice sounded above his head: "This handkerchief is yours."

The silk handkerchief was folded together. Su Yi only saw the orchid in the corner of the silk handkerchief. I was very confused. Answer: "Yes......"

He stretched out his hand to pick up the veil in his hand. Hongli smiled coldly. Su Yi trembled slightly. When I looked up at him, I saw that his expression was very sad: "Sure enough, it's you......"

Su Yi saw that his expression was cold. The gaze is terrifying. I was scared to the extreme, but my mind was full of thunder. The white jade pendant shattered into two petals at his feet. Excellent jade color soft slices. Su Yi vaguely guessed a few points, but couldn't believe it after all. Hongli suddenly grabbed her wrist. Forced to look at her. The voice seemed to pop out between the teeth: "I think I treat you well. You have reciprocated to me like this."

His strength is immense. It looked as if she was going to crush her wrist bones. Su Yi almost wanted to cry. Whispered: "I don't have ......"

Hongli shook her off. He said coldly, "You don't. You're lying to me. On the other hand, he thinks about others in his heart. That's what you call sincerity."

Su Yi slumped on the ground. Slowly picked up the silk handkerchief and opened it. The best feather satin, but the words on it made her face suddenly white as paper. The hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly. Hongli snatched the silk handkerchief and pinched it in his hand: "At this time. What else do you have to say?"

Su Yi looked up at him. Before the words are spoken, tears flow. It's just a dazed pain. She shook her head and said, "I don't understand ......"

Hongli said in a condensed voice: "You don't understand. This thing was found from a palace maid. She said that you asked her to send you out of the palace and hand it over to someone......" paused. Again." As for who the man is...... I don't need to say any more......"

Su Yi understood a little bit in her heart. But it's a stagnant. He said astringently: "I have never asked someone to send something out of the palace for me. This jade pendant is not mine. Though this veil is mine; But I had already sent it to someone else. The words on this veil are not my doing......"

Hongli looked at her steadily. It seemed like he was going to see her through. Su Yi also stared at him. The person in front of him is as powdered as jade. Those eyes are as clear as water. He should have believed her. If there is no such thing as Zizhu Xiao, who will take these things and look at them. He wouldn't believe it. But now he can't believe it. Hongli smiled bitterly: "Will your handwriting be fake?"

Su Yi's heart was cold." The minions don't dare to deceive the Lord of Long Live . Although the handwriting on this handkerchief tries to imitate the handwriting of the minion, it is not exactly the same as the minion's handwriting. Long live the Lord can see the clue when you look closely."

Hongli carefully looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand. Indeed, it is different from her handwriting. There was a slight pause in my heart. He said, "Who did you give the veil to?"

Su Yi was stunned. The silk handkerchief was taken away by Jia Guiren before she finished embroidering. The noble lady said that she had lost the veil. At this time, if she is named, it will inevitably cause another wave. I was nervous but I didn't know what to say. Hongli saw that her face was hesitant, and she only said that she gave the veil to Gu Yanzhao. My heart suddenly froze. Remembering the broken letterhead. He grabbed her by the wrist and lifted her up. Aggressively said, "I only ask you. Have you ever written to him when you returned to the palace?"

Su Yi was shocked. Hongli's eyes were sharp and cold. The gloomy gaze flickered with pain. She only felt irrepressible pain in the deepest part of her heart. I just feel speechless...... She bit her lip and avoided his gaze. She didn't dare deny it. She had written a letter to Gu Yanzhao. She didn't know how he knew. But he knew...... She couldn't argue and couldn't argue......

Hongli saw her slowly lower her head. The heart is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. The pain is uncontrollab. The hand that was holding her wrist suddenly lost its strength. Inch by inch slipped off her wrist. His gaze grew cold. It's as if it's condensed with a thick layer of frost. He knew it was so. knew that it would end so dismal, but still brought humiliation on himself. He knew so. I should have expected this to be the case. He felt nothing but pain. The corners of his lips hooked up a wry smile. As if self-deprecating. It's ironic again. He looked at her steadily. Word by word: "I have lived this life. I don't think I've ever thought so much about any woman as I do for you. Joy is also up to you. Laugh at your disposal. Annoyance also from you. The gas is also up to you. Shame on you. The sense is also in you. I've never had a different heart. I met you. Joy, anger and sorrow are all led by you. But in exchange for you to do this to me. My intentions for you. Don't you know it? Ignore it?"

Su Yi's tears finally fell. The heart seems to be slowly scratched with a very blunt knife. Pain into the bone marrow. Hongli's eyes were so sad that she only felt unbearable. He was asking her. But she didn't know how to answer. She didn't see what he was trying to do with her. But she couldn't respond to him. She wrote a letter to Gu Yanzhao, and there is no doubt about it. She couldn't lie to him. Nor can you lie to him.

Hongli saw that she was just speechless and weeping. With a flick of his hand, he turned around and swept the things on the case to the ground. Gritted his teeth and said, "Someone."

Wu Shulai hurriedly walked in from outside. Leaned over and said, "The minion is here."

"Palace maid Shen. Pampered and proud. Reckless. Acting rudely. Bad conduct. I was very dissatisfied. Same-day distribution of the Xin Zhi Bank. There must be no mistake."

Wu Shulai was shocked. But when I cautiously speculated on the emperor's expression, I saw that his eyebrows were furrowed. The face is gloomy. Raising his eyes and glancing at Su Yi, he saw her kneeling on the ground and making a big salute. The heart is just restless. Answer: "Yes. Servants obey."
