Zi Ling simply packed up his things, and then took Yu Nu and Xiaoru to Baiyun Temple.

Baiyunguan tree is high and thick, secluded and secluded, the birdsong is crisp, and far away from the harem, it is a good place for Qing Xiu, and it is the heart of the soul.

On this day, Ziling moved the table and chairs to read poems under the ancient tree on the west side of the courtyard, and heard the sound of the lurid piano in the Cold Moon Palace, and suddenly remembered that it was thanks to Su Zirong's plan that day that she was able to catch Concubine De, and so far, she has never come to the door to thank her. So he put down the scroll of poems and followed the sound of the piano to the Xihua Hall.

seems to have a soft spot for the peach tree in the courtyard, and Su Zirong is still playing the piano under the peach tree. It was late spring and early summer, and the peach tree was in full bloom, bearing small fluffy peaches, and the leaves of the tree were as green as jade.

They seem to be getting acquainted with each other, and they have also avoided the red tape in the palace. When Su Zirong saw Zi Linglai coming, he didn't get up to say hello. Zi Ling didn't mind, and sat down by the piano table uninvited, drinking tea leisurely, listening to Su Zirong's flowing piano sound.

At the end of the song, Aunt Qiu Ji (1) put away the piano, Su Zirong picked up the teacup on the table, and quietly tasted the tea. They were speechless for a long time, not because they had nothing to say, but no one wanted to break this comfortable tranquility, they just wanted to taste the tea and smell the fragrance and fall asleep with the wind.

"Thank you, sister." Su Zirong finally broke the silence and opened his mouth to thank Zi Ling.

"Why thank me?" Zi Ling felt strange, didn't I come to thank you? Why did she thank me?

"Because, my sister has revealed Concubine De's true form, but I have been thinking about it for many years." Su Zirong said lightly.

Does she have anything to do with Concubine De? Why have you never heard Concubine De mention it? Ziling remembered that Concubine De had said that she was not familiar with Su Zirong.

Zi Ling couldn't help but be curious, and asked her, "Is there anything unpleasant between you and Concubine De?" ”

"It's not just unpleasant, it's just a big hatred." Su Zirong's face was as cold as ice, and he said hatefully, "If she hadn't framed me, why would I have been trapped in the Cold Moon Palace for a long time?" ”

I see! No wonder Ziling always felt that Su Zirong didn't like Concubine De, it turned out that she had also been framed by Concubine De.

"What is it? Can I talk to Zi Ling? Zi Ling asked.

"That's it, after many years, I am also used to such a light life, and I don't want to mention those old things anymore, so as not to be sad." Su Zirong sighed and said leisurely.

"Since my sister doesn't want to say it, it's okay not to mention it. Today I came to the door to thank you, thanks to my sister's clever plan, so that Concubine De's true form was revealed, but I had a heart. ”

Su Zirong held the teacup steadily, his fugue was too vain, and he didn't say a word. After a long time, she said leisurely: "Sister, don't think that you can stay away from right and wrong when you arrive at Baiyun Temple, there are many things, and you can't hide from them." ”

.

In Cining Palace, Meng Hongyu was playing against the Queen Mother, Xinyu was watching from the sidelines, and kept making noise: "Father, when will Yu'er see the concubine?" ”

"Another day, my father will take you there when he is free." Meng Hongyu said.

"Then the father will have to take Yu'er with him tomorrow, right? Yu'er misses her mother. Yu'er hugged Meng Hongyu's neck and said coquettishly.

"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, Yu'er, don't quarrel with your father and emperor anymore." The Queen Mother couldn't help but stop her, her tone was full of pity.

"Yu'er is not a true gentleman, Yu'er is a princess." A fairy tale made Meng Hongyu and the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing.

The Queen Mother wanted to play a good game of chess with Meng Hongyu, so she had to tell Aunt Shuwen to take Yu'er down.

"The queen mother asked her sons to stay in Yongle Palace and not go to the early dynasty, I think it was to make Concubine Xiao Guifei the target of public criticism?" Meng Hongyu gently dropped a son.

"Yes, the mourning family has already laid out their eyeliners, and they learned that the Xiao family is starting to deploy to make Xiao Ziling the queen, so they will strike first. Now, Xiao Guifei is already the target of public criticism and is hated by the courtiers, Xiao Wanzhong will not dare to instruct his colleagues to ask Xiao Ziling to be the queen. The Queen Mother said smugly.

"Then why did the queen mother agree to let Zi Ling go to Baiyun Temple for meditation? When she went to Baiyun Temple, didn't she avoid the wind and waves? Got her wish? Meng Hongyu asked.

"It was her wish to fulfill her wishes, she may not have any intention of becoming a queen when she goes to Baiyun Temple, or she may be planning for the future by retreating. Who knows? She's so smart, let's take precautions. The Queen Mother left a son, and then said happily, "In this game, the emperor was distracted and lost to the mourning family." ”

"Haha, after losing to the mother, the son is convinced." Meng Hongyu said with a smile.

On the afternoon of the second day, Meng Hongyu really took Yu'er to Baiyun to watch Ziling. There were no palace maids and eunuchs to serve them, no majestic guard of honor, only Li Zhao and Lu Yao followed all the way.

Meng Hongyu held Yu'er's hand, Yu'er jumped up and down along the way and asked questions, they were like an ordinary father and daughter, very warm. One is a man who never dares to trust women and can't feel the love of his wife, and the other is a little girl who has no maternal love.

Stepping into the Baiyun Temple, Meng Hongyu saw Ziling and a woman drinking tea in the dense shade of the ancient tree. Seeing him, Ziling hurriedly got up and saluted, Yu'er ran towards her, she picked up Yu'er and spun in circles, Yu'er giggled happily.

Knowing that he was coming, the woman also got up quickly, but she kept her back to him, refused to turn around, and did not salute him.

What a rude woman! Meng Hongyu was a little displeased, and pointed to the woman and asked Ziling, "Who is this person?" Why don't you salute when you see me? ”

Zi Ling glanced at the woman quietly and did not answer him.

The woman slowly turned around and bowed: "Concubine Su Zirong, I have seen the emperor, may the emperor be blessed." She raised her head and looked generously into his eyes, as if for a long, long time, as if to look through him, and as if she wanted to look for something in his eyes.

Meng Hongyu was stunned, he didn't expect to meet Su Zirong in Baiyun Temple, nor did he expect that she was still beautiful, not only did she not see aging compared to the past, but she had more mature beauty. Also, she exudes a sense of indifference and fearlessness, she looks like a proudly open autumn chrysanthemum, after the wind and frost and proud of the snow, a heart has been tempered to be extremely strong.

He hated the strength and fearlessness in her eyes, what he wanted to see was her haggard face, the pain of her life worse than death, and the pain of her kneeling and begging for mercy!

"How could it be you?" Hiding the choppy sea in his heart, he said coldly.

"The concubine passed by Baiyun Temple and came to visit Concubine Xiao Guifei. met unexpectedly, hoping that the emperor would be angry. ”

Meng Hongyu's face was full of anger that could not be concealed, and Ziling looked faintly worried, afraid that he would do something impolite as a big man, and he was also afraid that Su Zirong would be embarrassed and sad.

It seemed that Ziling was too worried, and saw Su Zirong say indifferently: "The fragrant tea has been tasted, and the concubine will retire first." Like a white cloud, she drifted away.

Meng Hongyu resisted the urge to turn around and look at her again, and stood still until the sound of the door closing behind him.

Outside the Baiyun Temple, Su Zirong clutched his chest tightly, leaning against the courtyard wall in a trance, and finally couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and they slipped down drop by drop......
