Huai Sleeve spoke first: "It's so late to bother you that you're old, this is a little bit of my heart, you take it first." "

As he spoke, he took out a purse from his waist and put it in the old eunuch's hand, and the old eunuch only sank in his hand, and there were actually thirty or forty taels, and he hurriedly trembled and wanted to kneel on the ground to thank him, but he was stopped by his sleeve.

Huai Sleeve quietly handed a color to Jian Yue, who immediately understood, and said to the old eunuch: "Cousin, our girl doesn't have much time, you arranged this girl's residence first, and we have to go back in a hurry." "

"Hey, look at me, I was so happy to see the noble master, I forgot about the serious things, a few noble masters are here, please." As he spoke, the old eunuch carried the lantern out of the room again, and led the people with his sleeves to the backyard of the palace. There are several rooms in the middle, and some of them are lit up, and they should be occupied.

Looked at these houses with his sleeves in his arms, and followed inside, suddenly, as if he was on his side, he suddenly remembered a burst of women's creepy laughter, Yinglian's frightened legs were weak, and if it weren't for the fact that she and Jian Yue were holding each other, she would have sat on the ground.

Although Huai Sleeve was also shocked in his heart, his face was still calm, and the laughter only sounded for half a sound and then disappeared immediately, as if he had been choked by the throat. The night was silent again, as if what had been heard was an illusion.

"Who's laughing here?" Huai Sleeve asked.

"It's the first emperor's concubine." The old eunuch had long been accustomed to it, and his feet kept moving forward.

"Concubine Ying is still alive? I heard about the dead last year? Jian Yue asked suspiciously.

"To say that she died because you can't hear her voice anymore, in fact she was given dumb medicine, but she didn't completely lose her voice, and occasionally she could shout one or two, which is what you just heard." The old eunuch replied.

"Who gave it to medication? It's pitiful enough......" Jian Yue sighed.

"Who else in this palace could do such a thing? That's the one. The old eunuch said, stretched out his hand and pointed to the west, and then said:

"That year, she had just been promoted to concubine, and when she visited the Summer Palace, she heard the concubine singing, saying that she had disturbed the little princess, and a eunuch came to pour medicine in the afternoon, hey......, then, we have arrived."

The old eunuch walked to a low room around the corner, took out a bronze key from his bosom, opened the lock, pushed the door and walked in.

Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue, Yinglian and the three of them followed in, and as soon as they entered the house, they smelled a musty smell that rushed to their noses, and Huai Sleeves subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

"The time is too rushed, if you say two days earlier, I will help open the doors and windows to cool down."

The old eunuch put down the lantern and lit the candle, and the room suddenly became bright. Looking at the four walls, the furniture is very simple, a wooden bed, a square table, a few long wooden benches, and a basin shelf stands in the corner of the wall, on which a copper basin is placed.

Fortunately, the bedding on the bed was old, but it was clean.

"Yinglian, I've wronged you first." After looking at it, he turned to Yinglian and said.

"Girl, you treat me as a grace of regeneration, not to mention letting me live here, no matter how bitter it is, Yinglian is also very grateful." Yinglian said and couldn't hold back her tears.

"Your lord, rest assured, although the conditions here are a little worse, it is a clean place, no one will come, someone will bring a day's meal, I will leave the girl's share." The old eunuch said with relief.

"Thank you, I will reward you in the future." When Huai Sleeve spoke, the old eunuch waved his hand again and again, and said several "yes" in his mouth. "

Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue left after a few more words.

Walking back, the hour was nearly three watches, and the moon was slightly westerly, perhaps because Yinglian had been settled, the footsteps of the two were much calmer, and they were not in a hurry to go back, taking advantage of this quiet and windless cool night, walking leisurely.

"Girl, what do you want?" Jian Yue looked at the side face with her sleeves slightly raised, and saw that the pair of clear and beautiful eyes drifted towards the west moon, so she gently grabbed her arms and asked.

Huai Sleeve shook his head, still looking at the high and lonely bright moon in the sky, as if he was pressed by something, and his mind was inexplicably dull. asked: "Jian Yue, your cousin just said that Concubine Ying was injected with dumb medicine, who did it?" "

Jian Yue looked around, leaned into his sleeve and whispered two words in his ear. "It's her again!" Huai Sleeve couldn't help but raise her voice, and Jian Yue hurriedly stopped and looked around.

"Girl, these days, I can also see that the girl is a delicate but narrow-minded woman, the kindness in the girl's character is the most precious in this world, but being locked in this deep palace, this may bring disaster to the girl." When Jian Yue said this, there was a secret worry between her eyebrows.

"I used to only think that if I didn't provoke right and wrong, right and wrong would ignore me, everything in this world is born from my own nature and heart, but now, after seeing the incident of Yinglian, I also believe in the saying that disaster descends from heaven." There was a hidden coolness in his leisurely tone.

"The girl didn't want to enter the harem when she was drafted, but she didn't want to be involved in the trouble of this fat hairpin and secret fight, right?" Jian Yue asked.

Huai Sleeve nodded: "You have also seen the matter of Yinglian, but it was slightly appreciated by the emperor, but if you want to be a tea maid, you will inexplicably provoke the disaster of killing, this deep harem, all the women are tied to one person, how many grievances have been accumulated day and night, and how many beautiful women in the past generations have been deeply locked in the harem for life, often heard in the poem:

The dream of prosperity in the purple hall has sunk, and the moss color of the court is overcast.

The floating clouds are perverted according to the king's will, and the moon shines brightly to see the concubine's heart.

The golden lock of Qu Shu Hengmen is cold, and the reels are deep in the jade bottle.

The empty general Jin Se passed on the grievances, and the lonely who listened to the empty voice. "

He sighed deeply.

Jian Yue was also aroused by sighs when she heard this: "What the girl said is not true." The two were silent for a while, and Jian Yue asked with a light smile: "I see that the girl is very assertive and reads a lot of books, so what kind of marriage do you want according to the girl?" "

Huai Sleeve thought for a while, and said in a distant tone: "What I want is a life of one generation and one couple like my Ama Eniang."

I married him, I was his woman, he was the mother of his children, I washed my hands and cooked soup for him, I mended a torn shirt for him, and I entrusted each other completely with my body and mind, until finally, I, or perhaps he, were leaving.

When we held each other's hands and made an appointment for the next life, we were still willing to say 'I do.' '"

The two of them unconsciously walked to the porch in front of the door of Zhihuazhai, the door was closed, and the two of them sat in front of the steps in front of the door.

couldn't help but hold the hands of his sleeves tightly with both hands, and the attendant deliberately suppressed his voice, but he couldn't suppress the voice that trembled slightly due to excitement.
