When Shen Mu first saw An Ning, she was still the noble concubine who was above 10,000 people under one person.

Dressed beautifully, wearing red and green, so not delicate.

Men don't like this kind of tacky dress, and they can't understand why the king of the northern kingdom is so capable, why he would choose such a delicate woman to be overly pampered, which attracted the attention of the six palaces.

Until he met her for the second time.

The scenery of spring is pleasant, tempting him to want to go out for a stroll with people who don't like to be lively, he drank too much wine with the people of the north last night, stayed in the palace, and when he got up early the next morning, the breeze in the courtyard was gentle, and the light white petals were circling and dancing, like a rain of flowers.

Shen Mu looked at the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, couldn't help but walk out, stretched out his hand to catch a petal, and casually asked the palace people who were sweeping next to him, "What is this?" ”

"It's a pear blossom, floating from the Rouge Terrace." Xiao Gong'e replied respectfully, lowered her head and continued to do her own work.

"Rouge?" Repeating these words, Shen Mu walked out looking for the sweetness of pear blossoms, and after walking for a long time, he finally saw the high platform surrounded by a pear blossom tree.

The high platform is deserted, and there are cold white flowers around it, which makes people lonely and lonely when they look at it, Shen Mu remembered the beauty he saw next to Xun Yu last night, wearing a peach-colored skirt and a charming appearance, but there was no shadow of her in the eyes of the young emperor.

Xun Yu's smile floated at the corner of his mouth, looking enjoyable, but in fact, he didn't care at all.

Shen Mu then remembered the noble concubine he met when he entered the palace before, and he didn't know where she went, was last night's occasion not suitable for her to appear, or did she fall out of favor and couldn't accompany the king?

Just thinking like this, Shen Mu suddenly heard a squeak, and he dodged and hid under a thick pear tree, barely finding some cover for himself.

The slender wrist was on the window lattice, the woman's face was beautiful, but a little haggard, without those jewels, she was dressed in plain white clothes, almost blending with these pear blossoms.

The long black hair outlined the thin contours of the face, a small face the size of a palm, and the cheeks were flushed with an unnatural red.

Shen Mu felt that he had observed too carefully, after all, it was someone else's wife's room, but he just couldn't control himself, not to mention that she had too much rouge, and she was beautiful, but it was a little weird.

An Ning stretched out her hand to close the window, but it was windy upstairs, and she didn't close it once, and the wind poured into her mouth, causing people to cough again.

Yun Kai hurriedly stepped forward to help, there was nothing to cover here, and it was not like other gardens that were messy all the time, so the woman's words clearly fell on Shen Mu's ears, and not a word slipped away.

Her voice is very good, because of the thick nasal sound, it is more and more soft and glutinous, which makes people unconsciously think of osmanthus cake.

"I'm a little cold, I didn't call you when I saw you were busy." Only then did Shen Mu understand that she was sick, so she looked so haggard, so it was because she didn't appear at the palace banquet last night for this reason.

"No, no need to take medicine, how can we have extra money to buy medicine, besides, that thing is bitter, I don't want to drink it..... I'll just drink more water. ”

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll promise to rest well these days, and don't do those embroidery jobs, okay?"

Shen Mu didn't hear the other person's voice from beginning to end, and the window was already closed.

She is a concubine, so she needs to buy medicine by herself, and she doesn't have to do embroidery by herself.

A little confused for a while, Shen Mu walked back in the original way, Sheng Zhan was walking around the courtyard, and hurriedly greeted him when he saw him coming, "My lord, where have you been, the slave can't find you anywhere." I'm going to die in a hurry. ”

"Dead?" asked in a cold voice, Shen Mu didn't like his babbling temperament, but Xiliang needed a safe person over there, and he couldn't help it, so he brought Sheng Zhan.

"No, but it's coming soon." Sheng Zhan had long been accustomed to seeing his master, so he followed him and walked inside, "Master, this is someone's harem, and those big wives and little wives are here, can't you wander around ....."

"Are you done?" Seeing that he closed his mouth, Shen Mu took a sip of the tea on the table, "Help me do something after speaking." ”

"Okay." Sheng Zhandui smiled and continued, "What's the matter? ”

"You go and inquire, who lives in the Rouyun Tower, and where has Your Majesty's concubine gone?"

The smile froze on the corner of his mouth, his grandfather is not the kind of unstable person who has to blow a few whistles when he meets a beautiful woman on the side of the road, what's wrong today, I have to inquire about other people's concubines.

Although he thought so, Sheng Zhan still agreed to come down and inquired carefully.

Later, Shen Mu was reading a book in the post house, and the sweaty little guy ran in from outside, drank the cup of tea in front of him first, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Master, I inquired." ”

Shen Mu guessed that he had inquired, otherwise he would have punished him long ago because he didn't understand the rules so much.

"That noble concubine was demoted to a concubine and entered the cold palace, Rouyuntai is the cold palace, it is an abandoned theater, she lives there now, and the king of the northern kingdom only sent a dumb girl to take care of her."

Shuren, cold palace, dumb girl.....

Shen Mu connected these words together, and finally understood the meaning of the words he heard today, no wonder he never heard another person speak, it turned out to be a mute.

"Master, you said that His Majesty in the North is really ruthless, I heard that the concubine is the princess of the South Kingdom, and she has followed him since he was a proton, and then the country was broken, and he came all the way to look for him, but he was left behind after not being favored for a few years."

"But the little one thinks that the woman died by herself, and she didn't do anything good, so she had to marry the child in someone's womb......"

"What?" His brows furrowed, and Shen Mu's appearance was terrifying, which startled Sheng Zhan.

"Just.... It's that this concubine can't be pregnant herself, so she holds a grudge against the pregnant women in the palace and gives birth to a beautiful woman who has just entered the palace. Master, do you know who she harmed, the daughter of General Huben of the Northern Kingdom, General Huben is such a daughter, can you not feel distressed, she wrote to His Majesty to severely punish the murderer, then she is a daughter of a dead country, her mother's family has nothing to rely on, and she has no children, so she will naturally be slaughtered. ”

Sheng Zhan said a lot, and he didn't know how much Shen Mu listened, he thought that the lord must have inquired about these things to understand the affairs of the Northern Palace, and to see if he could find the flaws in His Majesty's body.

"Master ......" wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Shen Mu.

"Okay, I see, you can step down." drove away Sheng Zhan, Shen Mu didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little more sympathy for this "vicious" sinner in his heart.
