On December 12, Qin Tianjian submitted a letter saying: The wind covers the land in the north, and there seems to be a red fire and Xiaosu. Qin Tianjian is the official of the missing doctor, Hu Yi, who is too void, and starts the hexagram to pray and divination: Emei Crescent, Eight Dragons are scorching. When the microstar changed color, the greedy wolf flickered again, and the western Kui wood wolf moved eastward. After Zi Weixing came out of the palace and was obscure, it was a big culprit.

That night, in the study of the East Palace, a man wrapped in black lurked in the shadows, half-hunched and whispered to the prince: "Your Highness, what the subordinates of Shicai read is the divination words that Hu Ao secretly reported to His Majesty, Liao Ming has sent someone to secretly stun the person who sent the letter, and he ordered his subordinates to come back and urgently ask His Highness if it will be replaced by the divination of Lord Liao Junqing?" ”

The prince, who was half-leaning on the wooden chair, did not have half a prison attendant by his side at the moment, and after hearing the report of the man in black, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were dull for a long time, and he said: "With my father's shrewdness, I am sure that there is a secret communication with Hu Yi in the letter, but I am afraid that Liao Ming's move is inappropriate." Now that I know what's going on, I'm going to be careful. Go back and tell Liao Ming to let their people withdraw. ”

After another half of the day, there was no more sound of words in the hall, and the sound of swishing leaps sounded in the hall, leaving only the prince to hold his forehead and think deeply.

……

Since the three major halls were inexplicably burned down, everyone in the palace has been cautious everywhere, and they don't even dare to sound louder conversations. Except for one place.

In a room in Concubine Li's mansion, I saw a beautiful woman with cloud sideburns and phoenix hairpins holding a teacup with only one green leaf in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Aning, your tea skills are getting better and better, and even I, the master who taught you at the beginning, are starting to be inferior to you." ”

"Sister Li praised me again, it's not that you teach me well, plus I have read some methods from books, but I can also blend them together. Speaking of which, I didn't have such good patience, and since I got along with my sister, this impulsive temperament has gradually become a lot duller. "Zhi Ning has moved in a few days ago to live in the same courtyard with Concubine Li. Although the age difference between the two is about ten years old, they have a lot to say in their conversation.

"Sister Aning, this palace is no better than your own home outside, you can do whatever you want. You see, the yard I live in now is many times bigger than the house I remember when I was a child. But after all, I can only survive quietly in this by myself. We women had many dreams in the past, and when we arrived in this palace surrounded by four walls, we could only slowly fade away this watery years. Sister's tea art is just to take a little thought in this silence and relieve herself of boredom. ”

"Sister, I don't think this palace is as terrible as you said, at least this scenery is not ordinary and easy to see."

"A-Ning, you are still young, you just have to look at the scenery in front of you, but no matter how good the scene is, there will be a time when you get tired of seeing it, just like you ......" The more Concubine Li said, the more melancholy she became, and when she arrived at Zhining, the shout of He'er outside the door had already sounded: "Your Highness? Your Highness? Her Royal Highness came down, and she seemed to be drunk. ”

As soon as He'er's words were finished, before Zhi Ning and Concubine Li could react, a staggering figure supported by several internal eunuchs had flashed in from outside the door, and a strong smell of wine had spread throughout the room.

"Your Highness, how much wine have you drunk?" Concubine Li took two steps to take the crown prince from the inner supervisor, and asked with a concerned look, but the person in her arms was already drunkenly crooked on her shoulder, and her mouth began to murmur. "Ai Concubine, what do you mean by what you say that I am the crown prince, even my father ...... it" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drunk and mistaken Zhi Ning for Concubine Li.

"Go and fetch some water for Your Highness to freshen up." Seeing that the stunned eunuch on the side was still holding his hand in the air, afraid that the prince would roll off Concubine Li's shoulder, Concubine Li hurriedly ordered.

A few wake-up promises sounded. The eunuchs and maids immediately scattered and fled outside the courtyard. But only Concubine Li who stood in place and didn't dare to move was left, the prince who was lying on Concubine Li's shoulder, and Zhining who stood in place and didn't know what to do.

"Sister Li, I, I'm also retiring." Zhi Ning was still not as smart as these palace maids and eunuchs who were accustomed to acting with their eyes, and they were stunned for a moment before they were ready to get up and walk outside the house. The footsteps are just about to start. Concubine Li's voice came: "A-Ning, you wait." Help me carry His Highness into the back room. Just now, I was afraid that His Highness would get drunk and talk nonsense, and they would listen to it. ”

"Huh? Sister I ......"

"It's okay, sooner or later there will be this day, Your Highness is drunk and weird at this time, you come and help my sister." Concubine Li's anxious voice came.

Zhi Ning hesitated and was about to walk forward, but the prince, who had just been groggy, suddenly woke up.

"Huh? How did the main hall get here, the concubine seems to have drunk too much, and went to ask the next person to prepare some hangover preserves for the main hall, and there are still some official documents in the main hall that have not been completed. ”

"Sister Aning, you come to help me support His Royal Highness, and I will go to the prince to get the official documents." The prince's sudden awakening made Concubine Li pause for a moment, and after a pause, she said again.

"Good sister, go and come back quickly." Seeing that the prince suddenly regained his senses, Zhi Ning didn't feel too worried, but readily agreed.

"Oh, it's Miss Zhining who is also here, just concubine, you let Zhining go find Wang Fu to come over."

"A-Ning, you take a break, my sister has been pillowed on His Royal Highness's shoulders for a long time now, and her legs and feet are a little unfavorable, you come over and take a hand with me to put His Highness on the chair first, and then go to find the prince."

"It's my sister." Zhi Ning's body moved and he was about to move forward. The prince's voice came again.

"Why do you love the concubine, the body of this hall is already so heavy?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his body, but his arm suddenly lifted up and lifted it on Concubine Li's shoulder. I saw that Concubine Li's body was stunned for a moment, and her tone immediately changed: "A-Ning, listen to Your Highness, go and call the prince to come over." ”

Zhi Ning agreed and hurriedly walked out. At this time, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and she didn't seem to understand anything.

After a while, when Zhi Ning followed Wang Fu, who had trotted over together, into the courtyard, the next person returned to the prince and went back to the palace to rest. Only Concubine Li was left to sit alone in the room.

"A-Ning, don't go back tonight, just rest with my sister and talk about it." After only a while, Concubine Li, who seemed to be a lot haggard, seemed to be a little more relaxed when she saw Zhining, exhaled slightly, and said with a smile.

It's just that the eyes that looked at Zhining seemed to have some pleading.

What is going on with this night's farce, Zhi Ning was stunned in his heart, took the Xinglan Sword from the house, and came back to Concubine Li's palace.
