death knell

I held my forehead, thinking that she would be angry at me for saying that she was a resentful woman, but I never thought that her silence was for this matter, and Yu Gui's focus was still so different.

I wanted to ask a little more in-depth question, and ask her what kind of conflict she was having with Baili Yuan, even if she couldn't know the whole story, it would be good to know about it, so that she could be better comforted. But as soon as I mentioned Baili Yuan slightly, Yu Gui hurriedly interrupted my words, obviously not wanting to talk about him.

I was silent for a moment, but I didn't mention it.

I stayed here for half a day before I was ready to go back.

Just went out, and met Baili Li.

Seeing me, he nodded politely, still without any expression for me.

"Uncle Xiaohuang...... Oh no, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

I blessed my body and greeted respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He waved his hand and said lightly: "You don't have to see the outside like this, just call me Uncle Xiaohuang with Changji."

I took the order and called Uncle Xiao Huang again.

He hummed, his tone unfazed.

With such a cold person, I really don't want to talk to him politely, but in order to return, I also have to say hello with a smile on my face.

"Uncle Xiaohuang is here to visit Yu Gui, Yu Gui was talking about you just now, and now you are really here."

Baili Yuan's face was cold and frost-stained, and he said loudly: "What is she talking about me?"

I swallowed my saliva, a little afraid, and said timidly: "Of course it's good to talk about you."

"It's unbelievable, she can still talk about me?"

After he sneered, he strode into the inner room, and when he reached the entrance, he stopped, looked back at me, and said, "She has been sick and weak lately, and she can't stand the toss, if you have nothing to do, don't come and disturb her to recuperate."

I'm stunned, you're too direct.

"Alright, I'll come back to see her when she's better."

He bowed his head and saluted: "I have a heart."

I nodded my head and watched him fully enter the room before daring to grin his teeth.

I'm angry, what does it mean that Yu Gui can't stand the toss, I don't want to disturb her to recuperate? Tsk, it's not you who caused her illness, you are the culprit, and you dare to say unashamedly that I should not toss her. If you tell me not to come, I won't come? What are you kidding, I'm going to come, I'm going to come often.

I really don't understand, what Yu Gui likes about this indifferent monster. Although he looks good, he is arrogant like this, indifferent and unapproachable, and has no human touch at all, so I don't like this kind of person if I am me. Or my parents are very good, not only has a harmless face, but what is more valuable is that he is both warm and cold, so he is not like the old-fashioned guy Baili Yuan, only cold but not warm.

I am good friends with Yunkang, and I am familiar with Ankang, but the best thing is Yu Gui, and her temperament is what I value the most.

Yu Gui is kind and simple, dares to love and hate, and never acts timidly. I have never heard anything bad about her, let alone seen her calculate anyone. She is a straight-hearted person, she is extremely frank and honest with people and things, she doesn't know how to twist and turn, and whatever she has in her heart will be written on her face. If I were a man, I would be happy to like such a girl. It's a pity that Baili Yuan doesn't know how to cherish it.

No one inside or outside the palace does not talk about the discord between the prince and the crown princess, and the two often quarrel, occasionally comfortable. Yu Gui rarely attends any occasion with Baili Yuan, and six or seven out of ten people who accompany Baili Yuan are Wen Er, making the world known to Wen Liangdi, but rarely mentioning the crown princess, she is the crown princess.

Yu Gui is my best friend, I can't see her sad, and I'm angry with the bastard who made her sad, and what's even more helpless is that this bastard is still Baili Li. I just sigh that we are all in the royal family, we are constrained everywhere, and we can't do anything, if we were ordinary people, who would dare to bully my best friend like this, I would definitely be unable to help but go up and beat him to relieve my anger. It's a pity that Baili Yuan is not only a member of the royal family, but also the crown prince, with a noble status and monstrous power, and I can't do anything.

β€”β€”β€”β€”When I came out of the inner courtyard and passed by the front yard, I saw Winer standing under the persimmon tree in the middle of the court.

I stopped and stared at her without squinting, under the tomatoes, the white clothes were like her, very beautiful and moving.

She came with Baili away? Why not go in.

The wind blew the leaves and fell, and she didn't notice that a whirlwind of fallen leaves fell on her head. His expression was solemn, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Looking at the face, I'm afraid I'm not thinking about anything happy.

But what else can she be unhappy about, Baili Yuan likes her so much, and quarrels with Yu Gui every day for her, she is now pregnant again, which can be described as in the limelight, and no one competes for the top.

The weather was cold, and the cold wind blew me to sneeze, but in front of Wen'er I cared more about the image than in front of Changji, so I tried my best to hold back and sniffed hard, who knew that I, a savage woman, even sniffed so loudly.

Wen Er's face was different, as if he had only just noticed my arrival, and slowly looked up at me, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even bother to give a perfunctory smile.

I looked sideways and motioned for Duobu to come and wait for me, but she didn't ask anything and walked straight out.

I stopped a few feet away from her and calmly called, "Wen Liangdi?".

She smiled and walked towards me, her steps light and her manners elegant. Isn't she pregnant, and can she walk so lightly? I subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen, which was slightly bulging, but there was no obvious pregnant belly.

I didn't have anything to say: "What a coincidence, Liangdi is also here."

She smiled suddenly: "Long time no see, lack of princess."

Since I got married to Changji, few people have called me a princess, and they all call me Princess Jing. I like the title of Princess Jing very much, Changji is King Jing, and I am Princess Jing, and we are a couple when I hear it. Now that Wen'er suddenly called me a princess, I was really not used to it.

So I deliberately corrected: "Wen Liangdi, you should be called Princess Jing."

Wen Er was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and changed his words: "Princess Jing, don't come to harm."

"All is well, thank you for your concern. I don't know if Wen Liangdi happened to be passing by, or who was she waiting for? ”

I felt a sullen feeling in my heart, not only for the sake of returning but also for myself, and my words inevitably seemed a little indifferent and stiff.

Wen Er was not annoyed, he still had an indifferent attitude, and said lightly: "The princess seems to have some hostility towards me. ”

I frowned, slightly unhappy: "Ridiculous, what kind of hostility do I have towards you, it's you thinking too much."

She chuckled, "Is it really that I'm thinking too much?" ”

I stared at her in bewilderment, why was she so strange today.

"If the princess doesn't say it, I know it. The princess has a grudge against me, not only because of the crown princess, but also because of Changji, right? ”

As if someone had stepped on my tail, I immediately refuted: "What does this have to do with Changji?"

"The princess must have seen that painting."

I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't calm down anymore.

I looked down at the persimmon on the ground, only to feel that the anger was very uncomfortable, and I kicked the persimmon away, the persimmon skin was kicked and broken, and my shoes were dirty. I endured the discomfort in my heart, took out my handkerchief and squatted down to wipe it, and I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. But after thinking about it, since everyone knows it, why bother pretending to be confused.

I hesitated for a moment, sorted it out, and replied bluntly: "I don't have to be angry with anyone for a painting. I've seen that painting, and it's about you. If you want to show me your pride, you don't have to, because I don't care now. ”

Her eyelashes twitched slightly, and she suddenly laughed, and after laughing, she became lonely and sad, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think the person on the painting is really me?" ”

I was surprised: "Isn't it?"

She always smiled bitterly, very sadly, and whispered: "I also hope that the person on the painting is really me."

"What do you mean by that?"

"You go and ask Changji, Changji will make it clear to you."

The words fell, and she left in a huff.

I was confused behind her.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the evening, the fog and rain are drowsy, and the light in the house is dim, damp and slightly cool.

Suddenly came to the palace to spread the news that Tao Guifei was rescued after an attempted suicide. The person who came to pass the word turned out to be Cao Gong Ling and Father-in-law Gao. Seeing me, Cao Gongling cried out as soon as he could, choking and repeating. Tao Guifei's current situation is not good, she is bent on death, Nandi remembers the old love and agrees to allow some female relatives who are good friends with the concubine to visit the palace on weekdays, but the concubine is nowhere to be seen, only Nandi wants to see me.

I was amazed.

It stands to reason that no matter who you are, the person you want to see most when you are dying should be the person you love the most and the most important person in your life. As far as Tao Guifei is concerned, the person she wants to see the most is either the banquet minister or Dong Jia. It's a pity that Yanchen married Lu Guo far away and couldn't come to see her. As for Dong Jia, it is even more impossible, after all, he has been looking forward to it for almost twenty years and has not been able to achieve his wish. But no matter what, even in addition to these two people she can't see, there is also her niece Tao Xu'er, no matter how bad it is, there is also an old friend Anping who has long turned against her, how can it be my turn. But the reality is that she chose to see me, which is really incomprehensible.

Changji has not yet returned, and I have no one to discuss, although I am also full of anxiety, but the matter is urgent, and I can't hesitate. In the end, I hurried with Cao Gong's order.

The outside of the hall gate of Zaoyan Palace is unusually deserted, there is no imperial doctor, there are no night guards, and even the little yellow gate and the palace lady who are waiting for them are not two. Cao Gongling led me in, and what caught my eye was a thin and transparent yellow veil, dim in all directions, and the candle flame swayed in the wind on the phoenix platform, swaying and shaking.

Entering the inner room, there was no trace of Tao Guifei on the bed. Cao Gongling was so anxious that he caught a little yellow door who had just entered the door and shouted: "Where is Niangniang, dog slave, how are you on duty, if Niangniang has any mistakes, no one wants to live."

The young little yellow door was so frightened that his face turned pale, he fell to his knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and replied: "Aunt spare your life, aunt spare your life, it's not that the minions are not well guarded, it's Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked the concubine Niangniang to send the concubine back to Qingle Palace, the slave just entered the door and wanted to tell you, but before you opened your mouth, you ......"

He didn't need to say much about the rest of the words, he naturally understood.

Cao Gongling's face was surprised, he was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly led me to Qingle Palace again.

All the way, I was thinking about what the Southern Emperor wanted, since he saved Concubine Tao and let her stay in Qingle Palace to recuperate, then she must still have affection for her, even if she doesn't think about a husband and wife affection, for the sake of the banquet ministers, she will retain benevolence. The cold palace is damp and dilapidated, and the door is crowded, which is indeed not suitable for recuperation, but it is the most abrasive to move around at night, and it is better to send the imperial doctor to the Zaoyan Palace.

I shook my head, didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly followed behind Cao Gongling.

……

Before arriving at the destination, the funeral bell came from the Zhengyuan Gate-
