Imperial Palace, Ciyuan Palace.

Yu Ziran was sitting on the side of the couch reading the Buddhist scriptures softly, and after a while, there was a sound of sleeping snoring on the couch, Yu Ziran put down the Buddhist scriptures, and lightly covered the sleeping Queen Mother with a blanket, and then beat his somewhat sore shoulders, and walked out of the dormitory with a tired face, ready to eat a snack to cushion his stomach.

Since I arrived in the palace, I have to look at people's faces everywhere, after all, I have no family background, and I will inevitably be looked down upon, but I study carefully and serve the queen mother happily, so no one dares to laugh at myself blatantly, just serve the queen mother, it is inevitable that I will be exhausted, and I have to wait for the queen mother to eat before falling asleep every day, so that I can eat a little in a hurry and go back to the house to sleep.

Yu Ziran thought about it, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart, but when he saw this dazzling decoration, he was relieved, all his efforts were for the happiness of himself and his mother in the second half of his life, so that he could get rid of the identity of the orphan girl of the Yu family and become a noble person again.

Compared with the happy life and status in the future, this little suffering can be regarded as nothing.

Yu Ziran thought about it, and was about to go to the side of the room to prepare the tobacco for the Queen Mother tomorrow, the Queen Mother likes to smoke a few puffs of cigarettes, but she is very picky about the technique of this cigarette, and she has practiced hard for a few years before the Queen Mother is satisfied, and it is exactly like this, there is no second person in the palace who can compare to her own cigarettes, so the Queen Mother loves herself very much.

Just as he was about to push the door in, Yu Ziran heard the voice of the little palace maid talking from inside.

"Have you heard, that Ziran county lord, I went to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet in Dingxi Wangfu last month, and I was disgusted by the prince, I also heard that there are other people that the prince likes."

"But no, what will this son dye the county lord do, he will only surround the queen mother like a pug, can the prince of the world take a fancy to her?"

"That's it, I've long been unaccustomed to her tall appearance, she sounds like a county lord, in fact, just like us, she is just a girl who serves people, we can go out one day, but what about her, if she can't marry the prince in this life, I'm afraid she will serve the queen mother for a lifetime......"

"Hee-hee...... Maybe, when the Queen Mother returns to heaven, the county lord will have to accompany the funeral. ”

Yu Ziran stood at the door, listening to the people inside talking and laughing, and couldn't help it anymore, so he pushed the door open all of a sudden.

The two little girls inside were startled, and when they saw Yu Ziran's angry face, they were all blessed, "Slave and maid retire!" ”

After saying that, the two hurriedly retreated.

Yu Ziran's face was blue and white for a while, and her heart was uncomfortable, they were right, she was just a girl with a title, she had never been more advanced than anyone, and even Xia Mengning, who was a concubine, couldn't keep up.

Yu Ziran thought about it, only to feel that the faith in his heart was slowly collapsing, his body leaned against the wall softly, and tears slipped involuntarily.

Why, why, why does the county lord who is obviously the emperor still live this life?

"Are you sad?"

At this moment, a gentle female voice came, Yu Ziran was startled, and hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and stood up and looked around.

"I know you're sad in your heart."

The voice came from behind, Yu Ziran quickly turned around, and saw a person in black standing in front of him, listening to the voice, it should be a woman.

Yu Ziran saw the person who came, and she was very scared in her heart, looking at her dress, she looked like an assassin, and couldn't help but calm herself: "Bold, the forbidden place of the palace, you dare to trespass without permission, believe it or not, I called the Imperial Forest Army to kidnap you." ”

The voice was a little trembling, and the woman in front of her smiled, although she was masked, the eyes exposed outside were bright and moving, "Since I can get in, I am also ready to go back, do you think the Royal Forest Army is very powerful?" ”

Seeing that the other party did not move at all, looking calm and confident, Yu Ziran couldn't help but be scared in his heart, and said, "Who are you and what do you want?" ”

The man smiled, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can help the county lord and help the county lord achieve what he wants." ”

Yu Ziran was stunned in his heart, "What do you mean, I don't understand." ”

The man walked over to the side of the chair and sat down, and smiled, "I have the same enemy as the county lord, so I want to be an ally with the county lord." ”

Yu Ziran was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said, "What the same enemy, I don't understand what you're talking about!" ”

The man was not in a hurry, he just looked at Yu Ziran fixedly, and said word by word: "Doesn't the county lord want Xia Meng to die?" ”

At first glance, when he heard the other party mention the three words Xia Mengning, Yu Ziran involuntarily stiffened his neck and said, "It's strange, why do I want her to die, we have no grievances." ”

When the man heard this, he smiled softly, changed his sitting posture, and said: "Why should the county lord deceive himself, the county lord admires the prince, but the prince only likes Xia Mengning, if Xia Mengning dies, will the county lord sit back and relax?" ”

Yu Ziran's eyes moved, and the man quickly caught the look in her eyes, and continued: "Could it be that the county lord is willing to be robbed of the glory and wealth of the second half of his life by a concubine, is the county lord willing to serve by the queen mother's side for a lifetime?" ”

Yu Ziran heard this, and blurted out without thinking about it: "Of course I don't want to!" ”

"That's good!" The man got up from the chair, approached Yu Ziran's side, and said softly: "As long as the county lord promises me, I can make Xia Mengning disappear from now on and never appear in the world again, and then the county lord will naturally be able to marry into the prince's mansion smoothly and enjoy glory and wealth." ”

Yu Ziran was moved and asked, "What should I do?" ”

The man smiled, attached it to Yu Ziran's ear, and whispered a few words.

Yu Ziran thought for a while and asked, "Why do you hate Xia Mengning?" ”

The man smiled softly: "Don't worry, I don't hate Xia Mengning because of the relationship between the prince, but a personal relationship, after all, the county lord also knows that there are so many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who hate Xia Mengning a lot." ”

Saying this, Yu Ziran put his mind at ease, and the man nodded at Yu Ziran, "The happiness of the county lord in the future can be in the hands of the county lord himself." ”

After speaking, the man disappeared in an instant, leaving only Yu Ziran alone, still standing there in a daze.

In the night, the man in black walked quickly, but he didn't hear the slightest sound, it can be seen that this person has deep internal strength, and when he walked to a remote palace gate, the man in black stopped, and walked out of the two little palace maids in the dark.

"We did what you said, and what about the silver?" Seeing the man in black coming, one of the little palace maids ran up to ask.

The man in black smiled, "I haven't thanked the two sisters for their help......," he said, his hands quickly pinched the neck of the palace maid in front of him, and the other palace maid saw it, screamed and was about to run away, but was caught by the man in black and choked his neck fiercely, and the two palace maids struggled for a while, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Humph!" After the man in black finished solving the two palace maids, he took out a small bottle from his arms, poured a little powder on the bodies of the two palace maids, and saw a pile of flames on the palace maid's body, the fire was fierce, and after a while, it burned clean.

When the man in black saw that it was burned clean, he withdrew his hand, looked around, and flew out of the palace with a light tiptoe.

A cold wind blew, and the unburned slag on the ground was blown up by the wind, as if nothing had happened here just now.

Out of the palace, there was already a red light in the distance in the dark night, and the man in black quickly lifted his inner strength and ran towards the red light.

Walking into the carriage, the man in black took off the black cloth covering his face, his fair face was as bright as white jade, and the two girls in green clothes beside him hurriedly handed over Juan Pa.

The man in black tore off his turban, his black and shiny hair flowed like a waterfall, and a girl next to him handed him a cup of hot tea, "Miss, let's have a cup of hot tea." ”

The man in black took it, took a sip, frowned, and said, "Liangchen, did you add two more pieces of this tea, it feels stronger." ”

The maid who was called Liangchen on the side hurriedly lowered her head, "Please forgive the slave maid." ”

The man in black didn't speak, put down the teacup and said, "Go down." ”

The carriage creaked forward, and the man in black closed his eyes in the carriage and asked the man next to him, "Are things ready?" ”

The girl who was questioned called Meijing, who was a sister with the good day just now, listened to the master's question, and hurriedly said: "Miss Hui's words are all ready, the workers rushed to work overnight, and made a total of 100 sets of scimitars." ”

The man in black nodded and said with a smile: "After you get it, get rid of those people immediately, I don't want any idlers to know about our incident this time." ”

Meijing nodded, and when he saw that the man in black had practiced his luck, he lowered the curtain and quietly retreated.
