Liang Yan stood under the osmanthus tree, the golden petals like falling rain swirled and fell, beautiful like a painting.

Mu Ling was stunned for a long time before adjusting his mood and stepped forward with a smile, "Ah Yan, you are here." ”

Liang Yan looked back, his cold expression warmed up, and he smiled back: "Look at you, I'm also a lot more relieved - I heard that the imperial sister has come to you, what's the matter, it's nothing, right?" ”

It turned out that he came here because he was worried about himself. Mu Ling is very heartfelt, partial to the other party's intentions, she can't respond at all now.

"The princess is delicate and cute, just enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, nothing wrong."

Liang Yan chuckled: "Sister Huang is not a person who can sit quietly for a while, and she talks a lot wherever she goes." ”

Mu Ling heard Gong Yan say before that the Queen Mother and Liang Yan's mother and concubine had a very deep prejudice, and the previous dynasty was very unbearable, but seeing that Liang Yan was like an ordinary brother and sister to Mu Qing, the relationship between the two may still be very close.

Mu Ling invited Liang Yan into the house to drink tea, and the tea was still sent by Mu Qing before, and it was clear and elegant.

"Ah Yan, I have helped you inquire about Guan Zhaoyi...... No, it's about Concubine Guan. ”

Liang Yan's clear eyes deepened, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Really...... If you don't say it, I'm about to forget. ”

Many years ago, when he went on an expedition, his mother saw her off and faintly mentioned Guan Zhaoyi, "The emperor can't find his mother if he has something, so he can find her." ”

At that time, he was full of spirit and made a grand wish to defend his father, but he ignored the inexplicable sadness in his mother's eyes.

Many years later, he suffered defeat and returned to the dynasty in embarrassment, but his mother was no longer there. The advice of the past years was inexplicable, and I dreamed back at midnight that day, dreaming of my mother, vaguely still the old appearance, with bloody tears in my eyes, and a sad voice, "Wu'er, go to find Guan Zhaoyi, go to find her." Mother is the best with her, you have something to do, you have to find her......"

On the second day, Liang Yan explored the way in the palace and met Mu Ling.

"It turns out that Zhaoyi is the late concubine."

Liang Yan said softly: "Yes, it's nothing more than my mother's explanation in the past, I wasted a lot of time, but I didn't expect that the concubine also passed away." ”

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, feeling that he had failed his mother, she had some last words and explained them to Guan Zhaoyi, but he came too late and missed it.

Mu Ling doesn't have any friends in the palace, but Gong Yan often deals with various places - such as the imperial dining room, the Tai Hospital, and the Internal Affairs Office, and he can always meet a group of little sisters.

Rim Yan got Mu Ling's suggestion, and led the topic to Liang Yan, and then the gossip was out of control, and there was any gossip.

For example, Liang Yan's mother concubine became a goblin, and without the true dragon aura of the first emperor, her soul was scattered;

For example, Liang Yan's eight characters are too heavy, and the queen mother sends him out every year;

mentioned the noble concubine Niangniang, that is, Liang Yan's mother, and an older palace maid chatted about Guan Zhaoyi casually.

"Concubine Guan used to be your biological mother's palace maid, and after being promoted to Zhaoyi, she has always been estranged from your concubine." Mu Ling looked at Liang Yan, "The palace people said that after the disappearance of the noble concubine, Guan Zhaoyi sang every night, as if she was very lively. ”

The calm look on Liang Yan's face finally broke, "Night and Night Shengge? ”

How is this completely different from what the mother concubine said about "best friends" - is it possible that the mother concubine was deceived by the concubine of Guan?

"Ah Yan, Concubine Guan fell to her death the day before you returned to the court."

Liang Yan was startled and looked at Mu Ling in a daze.

Mu Ling couldn't bear it, but still said: "On the day of the first encounter in the cold palace, you told me that your mother had something in the hands of Concubine Guan, and you wanted to get it back." But the concubine died unexpectedly when you returned to the dynasty many years ago...... That's not all, her palace caught fire in the middle of the night because of the water, turned into ashes, and nothing was left, dozens of people in the palace, dead and wounded, all of them were dismissed over the years. ”

After a pause, Mu Ling lifted his breath: "Ah Yan, now when the palace people talk about Concubine Guan, they just laugh at her for getting carried away and being ...... was killed by the unjust soul of the noble concubine. ”

"How can it be!"

Liang Yan smashed the table with one palm, and the rim smoke ran in from outside the house in fright, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Mu Ling looked at Liang Yan's face was pale, and shook his head at Gong Yan: "It's okay, I'm a family with the prince." ”

After the cigarette left, Liang Yan pressed his hands on his face, tilted his head, and was silent for a long time.

"Mother, how can it be a demon. Concubine Guan died so strangely...... I don't even know it now. ”

He was immersed in the purgatory of losing the throne, losing his father, the emperor and the mother, losing all his dependence, and all his dignity, and he had no time to scruple about the woman who was called a friend by his mother.

He thought the same as Mu Ling, Concubine Guan must have known where his mother had gone, and he came too late.

Mu Ling poured him tea again, and his heart was sour.

Whether it is the letters in the secret room, or the death of the concubine and Guan Zhaoyi of the previous dynasty, or her "suicide", she doesn't want to care about the queen's hostility.

She wants to escape from this cage as soon as possible, and she doesn't want to wake up in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat, and panic all day long.

That day, when Liang Yan left, his footsteps were still calm, as always, the appearance of a light and light prince, but Mu Ling was not happy at all.

Princess Jiande had a plan to leave the palace, and before leaving, the palace people sent two sets of men's clothes, and Mu Ling and Gong Yan accompanied her, and wanted to go out of the palace to have fun...... No, it's to find a juggling team.

Mu Ling has a lot of worries, but running for his life is the most important, if he can run away from the palace this time, it will be much easier than escaping in the heavily guarded palace.

Because of this, she was more excited and nervous than Rim Smoke.

"Niangniang, do you want to coil up the slave's hair? Mother, are the clothes looser? Niangniang ...... "Smoke and chirping, looking at herself in the mirror, always feel that she doesn't look like a man."

Mu Ling finally couldn't help it, rolled her eyes, and sighed: "Rim Yan, you were a girl for eighteen years in your previous life, and you expect to wear men's clothes with more sticks?" ”

"What stick?"

Rim Yan "hehehe" didn't understand and asked, Mu Qing stepped into one foot, "fluttering" a joy, "Haha, little lady's fun!" ”

Mu Ling's face was red, and he hurriedly got up and saluted, and was hugged in his arms by Mu Qingda, "Okay, we are brothers today, and we are not allowed to learn the twisting posture of those little girls." ”

Because of her status as a princess before, she was inevitably a little afraid, but this heartless girl, seeing that the princess was better at talking than anyone else, immediately put the rules and identity behind her, and was more affectionate to Mu Qing than to Mu Ling.

"Princess, princess, are you here, look at the little handsome or not? Can you hook a lot of little girl's skin? ”

Mu Ling wailed in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched when the female officer who came with her.

"Stunned, which is better than Yanyan?" Mu Qing held the cigarette and looked at the female officer Lu Su with a sudden.

Lu Suxuan is also dressed in men's clothes, but he failed to wear the princess's suave and suave, the naughty and cute rim smoke, or Mu Ling's breezy style, but he twisted and embarrassed, and he didn't even dare to take an extra step.

Hearing the princess's question, Lu Su's eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "Your Highness thinks it's good, it's good." ”
