Chapter 147: Walking the Palace Road at Night
"People may be queens in a blink of an eye, why can't you figure this out, stupid." Aunt Liao's anger seemed to be uneven, and she scolded as she walked.
The crown prince's side concubine? Empress? What's the last name?
Kang Yufei's head turned around, and he didn't think of which lady with what name he was. She leaned over to Hongxia's side and asked softly, "Sister, what is the origin of the prince's concubine surnamed He in the palace?" ”
Hongxia didn't stop what she was doing, just turned her head slightly and said, "The sister of General He Qiguang of the Yuanshan Army." ”
Yuanshan Army, He Qiguang, turned out to be the one who betrayed the Zhong family's father and son, Kang Yufei gritted his teeth angrily.
"There is now a side concubine in the East Palace, and everyone is rumoring that the queen's position is hers." Hongxia continued, completely oblivious to Kang Yufei's ugly face.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the He family gained power, Kang Yufei was not surprised, but such a person, with such a reason, she could not accept it in her heart.
She shook her head, and accidentally broke off a flower branch, on which hung a small yellow flower, shivering in the cold wind.
The hundred gardens were busy, and no one noticed the small yellow flowers that fell on the ground and gradually broke, and no one noticed Kang Yufei, who was preoccupied.
Kang Yufei hung his head groggily and knelt in front of the ranking of the Emperor Daxing in the main hall. After tossing for many days, now she has no thoughts about everything, and just hopes to get a good night's sleep.
There were already not enough people in the garden, but now in addition to dealing with the flowers and plants everywhere, there is also an additional job to guard the spirit of the Daxing Emperor.
Kang Yufei shook his head, trying to wake himself up, this day is cold, if he really sleeps here, I am afraid that he will definitely get a cold.
She patted Hongxia next door, who was already asleep on the futon, "Sister Hongxia, don't sleep." ”
Hongxia didn't wake up, and snorted a few times in her nose.
The night was quiet, except for the occasional wind blowing outside the window.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps broke into Kang Yufei's consciousness, she listened carefully, this was not a dream of staring in a daze, it was indeed someone walking here, she hurriedly patted Hongxia's back vigorously, "Sister, wake up, someone is coming." ”
Hongxia immediately straightened up when she heard the sentence "Someone is coming", although her eyes had not yet opened, her pious appearance was put forward.
Kick and tap, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, Hula pushes open the door, and a grinning voice comes in, "You're still awake." What are you called? ”
Kang Yufei happened to turn around and pointed in the direction of Jin Yinxiang's right hand.
"Sister Xiang, my name is Zhao Jie."
I don't know if Jin Yinxiang doesn't like the overly intimate title of "Sister Xiang", or doesn't like a little palace maid who is several levels lower than her and doesn't call herself a slave in front of her. In short, she rolled her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Hongxia. After thinking for a moment, she turned around again, "It's you, it's you, go and send this to Fanghua Palace, hurry up, don't delay." ”
Fanghua Palace, Kang Yufei's heart was tight, and she hadn't figured out how to face Concubine Mei, nor did she think clearly about whether she should reveal her identity and purpose, and what help should she ask Concubine Mei for? It's all mess......
"Hurry up." Jin Yinxiang impatiently handed a handful of freshly folded lilies on the chair at the door to Kang Yufei's arms. Then he gave her a hard push.
Kang Yufei stumbled out the door, and heard Hongxia's concerned voice behind her, "Be careful." ”
Kang Yufei looked back, Jin Yinxiang turned his back to her, and began to shout something to Hongxia impatiently, Hongxia kept nodding, it seemed that she couldn't take care of her anymore.
The winter night was very cold, as cold as Youyun City, so cold that people couldn't think, and they only knew that they stepped on the thin ice on the ground and creaked forward.
Although there are no lanterns, it is okay to clear the road under the bright moon. She recognized the way to Fanghua Palace, and the few times she came when she was a child seemed to be a deep imprint, so that she always remembered this slightly cramped road. Pass through the arch opposite the corner of the Imperial Garden, and pass through this corridor to reach Fanghua Palace. This is the shortcut path that the four princes took her through.
Now I suddenly remember, I am really a little embarrassed, the fourth prince Jing Xuan, I don't know how he is doing?
Back then, he followed behind him and called his sister's well-behaved appearance, Kang Yufei still remembers. At that time, there were no younger brothers and sisters who submitted to her, and she was quite proud of being able to lead a child to climb a tree and go to the house, and this child was still a prince.
It's just that I didn't expect to hear the news about the four princes in the future, and it would be a sad and tragic story.
She rubbed the tip of her sour nose, gathered the lily in her arms, and quickened her pace.
Not far away, there was a faint light from the palace wall, and she found the door by the light, and when she looked up, she could vaguely see the three words of bronzing, Fanghua Palace.
In the past, Concubine Mei's smiling appearance came to her mind, and she was about to meet, and she suddenly felt very excited.
She calmed her breath, gritted her teeth, patted the door knocker, and at the moment when the door creaked open, she suddenly thought it through, now is not the time to be able to clarify her identity with Concubine Mei, the situation is not clear, the light and dark of friends and enemies are not clear, and more importantly, Concubine Mei may no longer have a chance to help her, maybe if she says it, it will only increase the troubles of the Yan family.
The door opened, and a sleepy-eyed little eunuch came out, "Who?" There was some anger in his question.
"Slave maid Baihuayuan Zhao Jie, I sent flowers to Concubine Mei, I am really sorry to disturb this father-in-law." Kang Yufei tried to soften her tone.
This trick really worked, the little eunuch stood outside the door, and said politely, "I didn't expect to come so quickly, my sister has worked hard, leave it to me." He took the lily and said, "Sister, go back and rest early." ”
Kang Yufei wanted to say something more, but the little eunuch immediately turned around and went back, and the door squeaked shut.
"Ugh." She sighed, it's okay, if you don't see it, there won't be too many chaotic and complicated thoughts drilling into her head.
Lifting her feet and walking back, the ice on the road became more slippery, and her steps could only be slowed down very slowly, and she regretted that she had come in too much hurry and forgot to bring a lantern.
As the night got darker and darker at dawn, it seemed to have a layer of mist, and the bright moon did not know where to hide, and the whole road seemed to be invisible, and even the feet became blurred.
It was quiet all around, and there was not even a sound of the wind, as if she was the only one in this big palace.
Suddenly, a small sound came, and she stopped and listened. The voice was thin and far away, but it slowly approached in her direction, slowly becoming clearer. When she got close enough, she could almost instantly discern that it was the sound of someone stepping on the roof tiles.
This person's body technique is very good, and his voice is very soft, if he hadn't bumped into Kang Yufei, who was also excellent in light skills, I am afraid that it would be difficult to be discovered for a while.
