"Paper kites, paper kites, the water on the white willow embankment is sky-high, the gold bottle and jade are not changed, and the double butterfly is not envious of the fairy......"

In the pear garden, the singing voice, the tone is brisk, and the stupid murmuring voice is more painful than a knife in my heart.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Tang Jinyi hurriedly wiped the red circles under his eyes, turned around and lowered his head and said: "Lian Song has something to do and wants to leave the palace for two days, Concubine Yun is resting in Fenghuan Palace, and Gonggong Zhao is not in the harem at this time, so the concubine is ......."

Tang Jinyi is the crown princess, and the rank of the harem is still above the concubine, but the person she salutes to is wearing palace clothes and looks ordinary and low.

"This palace knows that you are under house arrest by Lian Song and it is inconvenient to walk, so it is not wrong to do this so as not to startle the snake." The woman dressed as Gong'e gently stroked her forehead, revealing a dignified and noble face, it was actually the former imperial concubine Long Yue'er who should be under house arrest in the cold palace.

whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and the maid hurriedly walked outside the garden to control the wind, Long Yue'er walked dozens of steps deeper into the pear garden with the support of Tang Jinyi, until she was so blocked by the lush pear trees that she couldn't see the garden wall, so she slowed down and stopped in place.

"With Xuexiu's help, the situation in the cold palace has been clearly figured, who is Lian Song's person, who is Lan Zhirong's person, now the palace is very thorough, as long as you can avoid these people's eyes and ears, it is not very difficult to come out and take a trip." After saying a few inconsequential words, Long Yue'er took a deep breath, "Although the palace is in the cold palace, many news inside and outside the palace can be transmitted from Xuexiu to the ears of the palace, including you and the prince." We can't see each other these days when you are under house arrest, but this palace knows that you have always been very clever to avoid the enemy's edge, otherwise you would not have lived until now. ”

"Lian Song knows that His Highness takes pity on me and wants to use me as a threat to hinder His Highness. Jinyi is incompetent, and he can't solve problems for His Highness, but has become a shackle to His Highness......"

"There is a knife on the head of the word forbearance, if there is another way out, who wants to swallow his anger and be at the mercy of others?" Long Yue'er is only a few years older than Tang Jinyi, but her tone of speech is much more mature, "Now the palace has no expectations for the emperor, the second prince is far away and weak, and he will not live forever, and he will not look forward to it; The ones who can have high hopes around you are the prince and you. Jinyi, you and I were sisters, although our identities have changed, our feelings are still the same. This palace really hopes that you and the crown prince can escape the clutches of Lian Song and regain the imperial power of my Great Yuan, so I will take the risk to help you. ”

There was still intermittent singing in his ears, Tang Jinyi was a little distracted, and it took a long time before he sighed lowly: "Jinyi understands, but there is a glimmer of life, and he will never disappoint his mother." ”

"I'm relieved to have your words." Long Yue'er exhaled a long breath and was quiet, also attracted by the broken singing. After looking and listening for a moment, Long Yue'er frowned slightly: "Why does this voice sound so much like Concubine Juan?" But isn't she sick and staying at home? ”

"Isn't it the silk concubine? It turned out that a person who was beautiful and didn't eat the fireworks of the world is now crazy, and he doesn't even know the people around him. Tang Jinyi sighed continuously, and told Long Yue'er all the things he pointed out about Concubine Juan's rape by Lian Song, and quietly sorted out some rumors among the eunuchs and palace maids, without reservation and confession.

As an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, Long Yue'er was deeply touched by the tragic scene suffered by Concubine Juan, but what made her care was not those scandals, but not very accurate rumors.

"Lian Song took Concubine Silk to Dingyuan County to make trouble with the marriage of the prince of Dingyuan? This is strange, it is said that Concubine Silk is in love with the second prince, why did she go to Dingyuan Palace? I really don't know how Lian Song coaxed her, and finally fell to this point, how much blame her for not being angry. After a slight pause, Long Yue'er lowered her voice, "By the way, I remember that there is a little palace maid named Shuangyue next to Concubine Juan, but she is still serving in the Leadhua Palace?" ”

"Yes, now there is only her by the side of Concubine Juan."

Long Yue'er thoughtfully: "I have a lot of impressions of that kid, timid, but very clever, neat and neat, and simply don't drag the mud and water." Is there a way for the princess to contact her? ”

"Lian Song put me under house arrest but did not prohibit me from contacting Concubine Juan, and asked me to persuade Concubine Silk not to annoy him, so there is basically no restriction on me going to the Leadhua Palace, and I can see Shuangyue almost every time." With a thought move, Tang Jinyi seemed to understand what Long Yue'er meant, "What, Niangniang wants to communicate with Concubine Juan through Shuangyue?" ”

Long Yue'er snorted: "What's the use of communicating with her?" Among all the concubines, she is the most spineless one. I want Shuangyue to find an excuse to leave the palace and find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Whether it is the second prince or the prince of Dingyuan, without the help of external forces, it is difficult for the two of us women to defeat the forces of Lian Song and Yun Guifei. It's good to think about it, do it as much as you can, but don't be in a hurry to expose the purpose. In this situation, this palace does not have any power to protect you, you can only protect yourself and help yourself. ”

Tang Jinyi nodded, becoming more and more preoccupied.

Long Yue'er met and talked in private several times, although every time she said that she valued Mo Zheng very much and expected him to take on the burden of governing the country, Tang Jinyi understood that in fact, Long Yue'er did not give much hope to Wen Mozheng. Previously, Tang Jinyi was very anxious about Wen Mozheng's poison, and mentioned it to Long Yue'er, Long Yue'er just comforted her a few words, and didn't even ask what Wen Mozheng's current condition was, where is this attitude of high hopes? On the contrary, it is Wen Moshu and Wen Moqing, who are often mentioned by Long Yue'er seemingly inadvertently.

In this regard, Tang Jinyi could only accept it silently, and at most smiled bitterly to show himself.

Dayuan is already in danger and stormy, and what is needed at this time is not a naïve and hot-blooded prince, but a wise man who is truly strategic and knows how to advance and retreat.

Looking back at the quiet pear garden, the shadows of the trees are swaying, verdant and verdant, and I don't know how many murderous opportunities are hidden in the vitality; The intermittent singing in the ears was mixed with sobbing, leisurely, quiet, and it made people break their bowels and pull up thousands of miles of sadness.

※※※

"It's almost July."

When the scorching sun was in the sky, in the tea pavilion of the post station, he sighed without a head or a brain.

"How's July?" Wen Moqing drank tea and ordered two simple side dishes, and was a little irritable by the boiling heat.

Yan Liwu was a little distracted: "Sister Jin's due date is almost in July, and I don't know how she is doing in the palace, I always dream of her when I sleep these two nights." ”

Wen Moqing didn't raise his head: "Then sleep with me tonight." ”

The tea pavilion is such a palm-sized place, three tables and twelve benches, who speaks a little louder, the whole pavilion can hear it clearly, Wen Moqing's ambiguous words immediately attracted a table of people next to him to snicker, and even more provoked Yan Li's face was red, and he gritted his teeth: "Can't you be a little measured!" ”

"Proportion? How expensive is it? Haven't heard of it. Enjoying a light tea, Wen Moqing is full of scoundrel spirit, "You have to sleep in separate rooms, who can blame you for having nightmares if you don't sleep well?" I kindly agreed to accompany you at night, but no one else has ever been treated like this. ”

"Shameless."

"Shameless!"

The two of them spoke in unison, one was annoyed and angry, and the other was sitting in the middle of the two, always expressionless as a stone statue in the main building of the Chaotic Snow Pavilion.

Wen Moqing turned his chopsticks and squinted his eyes slightly: "It's rare that the two of you are in the same camp." ”

Lou Qianhan didn't give any face, and snorted coldly, with outright disdain.

What does it mean to cry without tears, at this time, take a mirror and look at yourself to be vivid. Yan Liwu always had three points of curiosity and seven points of awe for Lou Qianhan, and half of the reason for refusing to live with Wen Moqing on the way back to Dingyuan County was due to Lou Qianhan - originally Lou Qianhan was to protect the two of them as an escort, who knew that since the first night of staying in the inn, Lou Qianhan had to carry a wine pot and chessboard every day to find Wen Moqing, and it was often late at night when a game of chess and two glasses of wine came down.

Yan Li is worried about being sick for a long time, and what he lacks most is rest, so he naturally doesn't want to lose sleep every night in two people playing chess and taunting each other; In addition, it is not convenient to have menstrual affairs on his body in the past few days, so he simply opened a room to live alone, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the boss of Wen Moqing.

The meal was served, and the appetite that had been greatly boosted after the illness was quickly filled into his stomach, and he accidentally found that Lou Qianhan was looking up at the sky outside the pavilion, and the two sharp brows were slightly furrowed. Immediately, Lou Qianhan took out a delicate silver flute and put it to his lips and blew it lightly, strangely, the flute did not make any sound.

Wen Moqing stopped the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the sky outside: "Where is the news?" ”

"South." Putting down the flute, Lou Qianhan said lightly, "Chu Ciyang, I went to Hosi to find you for something to make it convenient to contact, and gave me a flute." ”

"Birds and beasts make soup to replenish muscles and bones, thank that fox for me."

Yan Liyu almost squirted out a mouthful of rice.

I don't know how much Wen Moqing has an opinion on Chu Ci, no matter what, he has to go-for-tat, and every time like this, he will show his child-like willfulness, saying that he is cute...... No, but I can't find any right words to describe it.

Soon after the silent piccolo was played, a snow-white bird flew rapidly in the sky, circled in mid-air a few times, and then landed on the table of Wen Moqing and others. Lou Qianhan skillfully untied the copper ring with the thickness of the little finger on the bird's foot, pulled out the paper and looked at it hastily, and handed it to Wen Moqing.

"For you, something happened."

Wen Moqing immediately put away his idle expression - there are few things in the world that can be regarded as troublesome in Lou Qianhan's eyes, if he says that something happens, then it must be a great deal.

Unfold the note and look closely, as his gaze moved, Wen Moqing's expression became more and more solemn.

"Those Qingyue soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army are really unreliable. Ten days ago, they raided the border military camp left in the north, but fortunately, General Ye had already taken precautions to prevent the whole army from being annihilated, but he was inevitably besieged. To make matters worse, instead of garrisoning the border for Dayuan, the Qingyue soldiers cleared the way for the Nanqing army that followed after besieging the border army—in other words, there were now more than one enemy in the imperial capital. ”
