"Xue Yan." I kindly stopped her as she wandered among the flowers. Dressed in pink. It is embroidered with large begonia flowers. The blue jade bracelet reflects the snow-white jade arm.

Xue Yan poked her head out of the flowers. Foolishly smiled: "Huang Eniang."

I replied with a smile. No matter how bright the smile on his face is, he feels extremely bitter in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since the emperor hasn't seen you. I don't remember it myself."

Xue Yan was slightly stunned. I slowly put on the wreath of jasmine, begonia and roses in my hand. The palm of his hand touched Xue Yan's warmth. My heart trembled slightly.

I raised my arm to take a closer look. A sour nose. Tears dripped down his arms. Xue Yan's eyes flickered and asked, "Huang Eniang. Why are you crying?"

The green jade hand swept over my face unprepared. Xue Yan gently wiped away my tears. I choked up and said, "Xue Yan. Huang Eniang is trying to tell you. Your Emperor Ama decides. Decided to ......"

"Decide what." Xue Yan bent down and wanted to reach out to fold a jasmine flower.

I struggled to spit out a few words: "Let you make peace with the Dzungar Ministry. The Khan who married them."

Xue Yan's shoulders trembled. The flower in his hand was torn off by the waist. Blinking her long, curled eyelashes, she looked at me incredulously: "This. This can't be, is the emperor lying to me?"

I shook my head. Reaching out to hug Xue Yan. Xue Yan subconsciously took a step back and shook her head, "This is impossible. There's no way the Emperor would have done that. Here's why."

Xue Yan's deep voice pierced my heart. I said dumbfoundedly: "In order to protect the hundred years of peace at the border pass. Your Emperor Ama is also helpless."

Xue Yan's body trembled violently. Tears glittered in his eyes. Then he closed his eyes and swallowed his tears alive. Don't wait for me to speak. I owe a debt: "The emperor's mother. I'll step back first."

I motioned to stop her. Xue Yan hurriedly disappeared into the garden without looking back. Countless snow-white ginger flowers fell from the green meadows. was ruthlessly trampled by Xue Yan and fell down.

I silently followed behind Xue Yan. Xue Yan hurriedly walked in the palace alley. The bottom of the flower pot on the sole of the foot makes a "click" sound. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped. The body shook twice. Slowly leaning his arm against the vermilion wall. The body slowly squatted on the ground and sobbed in a low voice.

I knew in my heart that Xue Yan wasn't that strong at all. She was only thirteen years old. The day before was still a carefree teenage girl. One day later, he will be a surviving person who is thousands of miles away from the palace.

I turned around and said lightly to Fufeng with tears in my eyes: "Let's go. It's good to make her cry."

I sat on the couch in a daze. The cup in his hand was already cold before the rain. The wax on the candlestick fell like tears on the table.

". It's time to rest." Fu Feng reminded carefully and softly beside him.

I was slightly stunned before nodding faintly. Xiao Anzi bowed down and walked in cautiously. Said helplessly: "Niangniang. I've been knocking on the palace door just now. The slave had no way to open the door, and it turned out to be the noble concubine of the cold palace. Crying and shouting to see the mother. How dare the minions let her in? But she didn't say that she could come in and crashed to death on the gate of Jingren Palace......"

I looked at the hesitant little Anzi in surprise." In that case, hurry up and invite her in. Remember not to let the patrolling guards see it. Thinking that this concubine can escape from the cold palace, she must have tried her best."

"Yes. ." Xiao Anzi turned around and walked out.

I wandered around the temple with my hands clasped together. Xiao Anzi led Concubine Xin in. Concubine Xin's haggard face looked around carefully. Stand in the middle of the temple and look at me. A washed white garment stung my eyes.

"Meet the Queen." Concubine Xin subconsciously knelt on the ground and said in a low voice. The simple ebony hairpin on his head was inadvertently tilted to the side.

I waved my hand and said slowly, "Xin Guifei get up. No need to be polite."

"Concubine Xin......" she muttered as she got up. It seems that he forgot what he used to call him.

Concubine Xin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my hands. My rough, cold hands hurt me raw." Empress. You're a queen now. I know the past is that I'm sorry for you. But for Xue Yan's sake, you can help her."

Looking down at the bloody mouth on the rough hands of the noble concubine, there was dust walking on it. I was shocked and asked, "How did you get out?" Did you climb the wall from the cold palace?"

Concubine Xin clenched my hand nervously, shook her head, and said, "Niangniang, these are not important. You should know that the Khan of the Dzungar tribe is a man over half a hundred years old. Xue Yan is only thirteen years old. Do you want her to accompany a withered old man for the rest of her life? I'd rather she marry an ordinary puppet. Peace for this life."

I subconsciously pushed away Concubine Xin's hand. turned his back and said lightly: "Do you think I don't want to help Xue Yan. But don't forget that Xue Yan is not an ordinary child. She is the Gege of the Great Qing Kingdom. Her fate is up to you. It is also not possible to do this palace. The word of the Son of Heaven is the decree of God. Never change easily. Besides, this is the emperor's idea."

Concubine Xin trembled slightly. Tears silently followed his body and knelt heavily on the ground. In the silent hall, only the low cry of the concubine could be heard. I hurriedly turned around, "What are you doing?"

Concubine Xin's voice choked and said, "Niangniang. I'm begging you for Xue Yan. You just want to help Xue Yan. I don't know who else to ask for. His Majesty, he won't see me. If you don't say yes, I'll always kneel here."

Concubine Xin tore off the only sandalwood hairpin on her head. He knelt in the temple as if he were in the middle of a sin. I sighed helplessly: "It's useless for you to kneel until next year. There is no way to do it. This is the political affairs of the previous dynasty. It's beyond the control of this palace. You know that. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

Concubine Xin was slightly stunned. There is no intention of giving up. I sat down helplessly on the couch behind me. Quietly looked at Concubine Xin. Holding the cup that was already cold in his hand, Long Jing subconsciously took a sip before the rain. Chilled to the heart. At this time, Xin Guifei's heart was probably so cold.

I thought faintly. Carefully looked at the face of the concubine. It's been nearly two years since we saw each other. The years have left a merciless mark on her face. The eyes that were originally like water have become deep and vicissitudes. The thin shoulders barely lifted up a shabby dress. I know in my heart that she must have had a bad time in the past two years. The concubine, who was originally a noble concubine, suddenly fell into the cold palace. Live a life of no one and no ghost. Her only hope in life is Xue Yan.
