This bamboo house was the outhouse of Empress Dowager Hu when she became a monk in Yaoguang Temple before entering the palace, and it was also the place where she met with King Qinghe. Now things are people, one is imprisoned in the deep palace, one is broken in the palace, maybe the chrysanthemums in front of the house still remember the chrysanthemum banquet of the year, but it is difficult to show the dazzling gold of the year, Xiao Xiao solemnly reveals a state of ruin.

Ying'e was standing outside the bamboo door and was about to knock on the door, only to see a middle-aged woman dressed as a nun coming out of the house with a basin, ready to splash the water, saw Ying'e and asked, "Girl, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Before Ying'e could answer, Yuan Ziyou, who was standing behind, stepped forward and gave the nun a deep look, "Aunt Bichan is good, Yuan Ziyou is polite." ”

The nun known as Bichan is a female official who has been loyal to Jing Si for many years, since Jing Si was demoted from the palace to become a monk in Yaoguang Temple, she has been following the left and right, the master and servant at the beginning are now dependent on each other's relatives, after Jing Si was seriously ill, Bi Chan specially asked the Jingguang Master to move to this bamboo house to recuperate. Bichan heard the person call herself, squinted her eyes stimulated by the sun, looked at the pair of men and women standing outside the courtyard gate with extraordinary bearing but never met, put down the basin in her hand, and took a few steps closer to look clearly, "This young man, I have never seen you, how do you know my name, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Ziyou said again, "Yuan Ziyou, the son of the late King of Pengcheng, is a small character Yanda, although he has never met Aunt Bichan, he has learned about Mrs. Jing Si and her aunt from her mother since she was a child, and her mother also visited Mrs. Jing Si in Yaoguang Temple before her death. Now the coup d'état in the DPRK and China, the queen mother was imprisoned, the Qinghe king's generation of Zhongliang was killed in Yongxiang, the eunuchs were in power, and the Great Wei rivers and mountains were in danger, such as standing under the wall. Yanda once wanted to come to see Mrs. Jing Si, but her eyeliner was all over and she couldn't get close, so she finally got the opportunity to escort Ying Concubine Niangniang here, and hoped that her aunt would pass it on. ”

Although Bichan heard earlier that Empress Dowager Hu was imprisoned and King Qinghe was dead, she still couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, and asked, "Are you from the palace?" Is the Queen Mother okay now? ”

Yuan Ziyou mourned, "The court is already an eventful time, although the queen mother has no worries about her life, she is suffering every day, and my aunt already knows it, so she knows that this matter is extremely urgent." Please ask your aunt to pass it on your behalf, and Yanda asks to see Mrs. Jing Si. ”

When the Empress Dowager Hu was a child, she was a monk in Yaoguang Temple and lived in Jingwu Courtyard with Jing Si, and had a very good relationship with Bi Chan. She is in a dilemma, she is loyal and she feels that she has not meditated, and the government will have a day when the chaos will be put right, so she politely refused, "Mrs. Shi's illness has been repeated recently, it is not appropriate to work hard, and besides, she has not been in the palace for a long time, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the two, please go back." ”

Yuan Ziyou saw Bichan's face full of worry, and thought that Jing Si's condition would be serious again, if he would definitely no longer insist in normal times, but if he retreated, there would be no one to negotiate with the court, after all, he was still a child, how could he fight with those two old foxes who had been in the officialdom for many years. When Yuanzi was in a dilemma, Ying'e began to beg Bichan to let them in, and after being refused, she deliberately raised her voice an octave and shouted, "Aunt Bichan, you let us meet Shitai, the Queen Mother is about to be tortured to death, and Da Wei is in danger." ”

Bichan was afraid that she would disturb Jing Si, so she motioned to her softly, but Jing Si, who had just fallen asleep in the house, had been woken up by the noise outside the hospital, she listened sideways for a while, and heard the intention of the person who came clearly, so she slowly got up in her clothes, walked slowly to the door, and held on to the door frame and said, "Bichan, let them come in, this noise does not alarm others." ”

Bichan saw that Jing Si got up, and while beckoning them to open the door and come in, she hurriedly rushed to Jing Si's side and helped her into the house. Yuan Ziyou and Ying'e entered the palace and saluted Jing Si according to the palace etiquette, Jing Si smiled lightly, "What are you doing with these earthly rituals, but which lady is this girl?" ”

Ying'e got up and replied, "Mrs. Shi, my daughter is the daughter of General Nell Zhurong, and my name is Ying'e. ”

Ponder for a while, "You are the concubine of the emperor today, but how can you leave the palace at will, raise your head and let me see." ”

Ying'e slowly raised her head at this time, and saw clearly this once peerless beauty, now with a sick face, bloodless lips, and dark yellow complexion, she replied, "The teacher is too harmonious, the concubine is the emperor's concubine, and the fact that she left the palace is a helpless move." After speaking, he entered the palace on his father's orders to serve the Queen Mother, how there was a coup d'état in the palace, how to provoke the emperor to enter the Xuanguang Palace, and how to burn the Xuanguang Palace in order to see the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother ordered to become a monk to reflect, and how to escape from the Yaoguang Temple After 1510 finished.

Jing Si listened to the changes that have happened over the years, and the sorrow in his heart was a little heavier, and he cried for a long time, Bi Chan complained, "This is a better body, I'm going to cry again, how many people have already gone, and I still have to take one in?" "After that, we will chase away the guests.

Jing Si stopped, "It's okay, the Queen Mother and Yuan Yi are both grown up by me since I was a child, and that Yuling, I didn't expect that it has only been a few years, and I can't see each other again." It's just that this Liu Teng, I didn't see his wolf ambition, I knew that today, I should have let my sister kill him in the first place, and I saved this scourge, which was my sin. ”

Bi Chan saw Jing Si blaming herself, and persuaded, "Back then, it was the master who had a good heart, and when I saw that he was pitiful, I saved my life, and he has always been filial to you, who would have guessed that he would do such evil things now, Amitabha, why do you blame yourself?" ”

Ying'e nodded and said, "Mrs. Shi, you take care of your own body, this overall situation depends on you to rescue, if the Queen Mother has a case, Daddy's painstaking efforts to send me to the palace are not in vain." ”

Jing Si wiped away her tears, beckoned Ying'e to sit beside her, took her hand, and carefully looked at the little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, "Most of the concubines in the palace can't escape their father's order to enter the palace, but they either want to glorify their ancestors or complete their glory, you girl is cute, just for your father's heart for the queen mother, don't you regret it?" ”

Ying'e didn't expect Jing Si to ask like this, she squinted at Yuan Ziyou, and instantly her face turned red again, Jing Si understood everything, waiting for her answer. Ying'e nodded and said, "Back then, my father said that he was just making up the number of concubines, if I really didn't want to beg the Queen Mother to let me out of the palace in the future, the Queen Mother also promised to do this, how did I expect such a change to happen in the palace, the Queen Mother superficially punished me to go to Yaoguang Temple to become a monk and reflect, but it also gave me a chance to leave the palace." ”

Jing Si Shi Tai felt a tightness in her chest, she closed her eyes, and said reluctantly, "What do you think, just leave the palace at this opportunity, or stay." ”

Ying'e was puzzled, "Mrs. Shi, we are here mainly to ask you for guidance on how to rescue the Queen Mother, what does this have to do with whether I leave the palace or return to the palace?" ”

Jing Si slowly opened his eyes, supported his body with the help of Bichan, leaned on Bichan and said, "If you want to escape from the palace at this opportunity, you should rush to the north to find your father now." ”

Speaking of this, Jing Si became short of breath and became short of breath, Bi Chan hurriedly asked Yuan Ziyou to quickly pour a cup of tea and handed it over, and took out a purple pottery medicine bottle from under Jing Si Pillow, Ying'e took the initiative to help pour out a pill, Bi Chan said, "Pour another pill for me." ”

Ying'e poured out another pill according to her words, fed the medicine into Jing Si's mouth, Bi Chan hurriedly gave her water, Jing Si's expression seemed to ease after taking the medicine, and she didn't start to breathe so fast. She didn't dare to rest more, and after a little respite, she continued, "If you don't want to leave the palace now, then return to Yaoguang Temple while it's almost dark, and treat it as if nothing happened." You go back and write a letter, and ask someone to send the letter to your father, asking him to contact the people who are still loyal and righteous in the court to jointly write a letter, and ask the emperor to issue a decree and reward him. Because the border town has calmed down, the imperial court should be rewarded, and the north is peaceful, and your father can write a letter to ask for entry into Beijing. As long as your father enters Beijing, if the Queen Mother can't see it, the officials will know the truth, and if the Queen Mother can see it, your father will have a way to save him. It's just that no matter what, you have to decide as soon as possible, Liu Teng will not let you come and go with me freely, his people should be almost there. ”

Ying'e didn't expect Jing Si to see her through so thoroughly, she wanted to take this opportunity to escape back to Erzhuchuan, but she just went back, can she still see Yuan Ziyou in this life. Her blue eyes became gloomy due to contemplation, and the dare to love and hate of the Qihu people made her receive the reluctance in Yuan Ziyou's eyes when she looked back, and she bravely shook her head and said, "I won't run away, I won't die if I don't escape, and the royal face will not be willing to give up because of my father's high merits." Besides, since the ending is the same, why do I need to go back, just listen to the teacher, I will go back to write a letter, but who am I going to send the letter safely? ”

Jing Si was relieved, "Okay, I didn't misread you." You don't have to worry about the rest, if you write it and someone you don't trust to hand it over, you can send a red rope according to the agreement with You'er, and I will arrange someone to pick it up. A few days ago, Xu Su came to say goodbye to me before leaving, and left the suicide note written by Yuan Xi to me when he left, and he calculated that someone would come to me to help, and then he could send it to Erzhuchuan. It's a pity to think about it, in fact, you all overestimate me, I can't help the Queen Mother much, all I can do now is to send you a letter, and the rest can only hope that Liu Tengnian saved him in my past, give me a little thin face, at least let the Queen Mother's life be safe, and there will be no shortage of use. ”

Jing Siyin said faster, and couldn't help coughing, Bichan gently stroked her back, "Mrs. Shi, don't say a few words, let's rest." ”

Jing Si lowered his head and coughed for a while, eased up a little, raised his eyes and looked at Ying'e and said slowly, "You'er is not suitable to go with you for the time being, he has more than a hundred lives tied to the Pengcheng Palace, so he should return to the palace as soon as possible." You'er, you go down the mountain immediately, I know you still have some things to know, don't worry, I will tell you next time. ”

Yuan Ziyou saw Jing Si's instructions, how dare he disobey, he knelt on the ground and bowed, "Master, since this is the case, Ziyou will say goodbye first, and come to see you another day." ”

Jing Si nodded and said, "The next time you come, it will be brighter, after all, you are the son of the virtuous king, and you should have the demeanor of a father." ”

Yuan Ziyou bowed again, "Follow the instructions of the master." He got up and said to Ying'e, who was looking at him, "Niangniang, your subordinates will take the first step, if the things in the temple are in danger, you can tie a blessing belt on the poplar tree, and your subordinates will do their best to keep Niangniang safe." ”

Ying'e restrained her attachment, didn't dare to look back at Yuan Ziyou, afraid that she couldn't help but go with him, not long after Yuan Ziyou went out, Ying'e didn't dare to disturb the meditation and rest, so she got up and said goodbye, and went out to return to Yaoguang Temple from the same way.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the temple to find her, she climbed the tree and went back to her house, and Qihua, who was kneeling on the ground to pray for her, saw that she had eaten a big capital, "Niangniang, didn't you escape, why did you come back again?" ”

Ying'e smiled mischievously, "I can't bear you, I'm just going out to relax, and I'll come back when I'm done." Your ass is not good, it is not good to kneel on the ground, I didn't expect you to look forward to me leaving, and pray for me. Come, I will lift you up and put it on my shoulder. ”

Qihua held Ying'e's shoulder with her left hand, supported her injured buttocks with her right hand, and struggled to stand up, "Niangniang, you don't know, since you went out, Bai Gonggong and they came to the room to look for you, the slave and maid deliberately pretended to have a high fever and did not wake up, they probably thought that Niangniang would not take the slave and maid with her, and she would not be able to ask anything, so she let the slave and maid go." ”

When Ying'e heard Qihua say this, she felt as if she couldn't stand Qihua, and helped her back to bed, "You have to give birth to illness, what slave is not slave, you treat me wholeheartedly, just like my sister." In the future, you will be my sister Zhu Ying'e, I will not leave you alone, just like I came back today, if he returns to the government of the Empress Dowager one day, I will definitely ask her to rehabilitate your family. ”

Qihua was moved to tears, happy to have a good master like Ying'e, but she didn't ask where the blood stains sticking to her placket came from, but said, "Niangniang is tired for a day, so let's wait for Niangniang to wash and change clothes and rest." ”

Ying'e also felt that the day of running around was really tired, she pressed Qihua on the bed and said, "I can do it myself, you can rest well, tomorrow they will definitely come to ask you, how to deal with that white whole if you don't have a good spirit." ”

Qi Wan asked, "I think today, Niang Niang and Yuan Shi have found a way to save the Queen Mother?" ”

Ying'e pretended to smile mysteriously, "Why do you ask all this, none of this has anything to do with you, you just need to take care of your ass." After saying that, Ying'e didn't care about the loneliness that flashed in Qihua's eyes, and happily went to freshen up by herself.

Qi Wan looked at her cheerful back, touched her aching body, and muttered, "It has nothing to do with me, but what does it have to do with me." ”
