Jia Mingyuan was in a hurry, pulled his father and walked to the back room, and for the first time, he didn't chew the words, and poured Zhuang Siyan's identity to him.

"What do you say, the person who helped people during the disaster relief at that time was Master Si?"

At that time, Jia Mingyuan mentioned this person to him, and he also suspected that it was Zhuang Siyan, but then he thought about it, Master Si was a popular person around the emperor, why did he do this?

Even if it is for the sake of the victims, then the emperor can directly send him with his own son, why should he give Jia Mingyuan a chance to pick up merit.

Because it was so incredible, he just thought about it and didn't dare to take it seriously.

I didn't expect the final result to be guessed correctly.

Now that he is a benefactor, he is still the emperor's person, Jia Youshan even thought that the emperor must have specially sent him to help his son at that time, otherwise with his ability, he should be able to solve this matter, but it will definitely not be so perfect.

The emperor intended to support the Jia family, but Jia Youshan was unreasonable and stood in the way.

He quickly changed his clothes, came out with the token and said, "Master Si, I'll go with you." ”

Zhuang Siyan frowned for a while.

Jia Youshan is old, he definitely can't ride a horse, and he can't ride a carriage as fast as she can ride alone, and the most important thing is that the token can only have one person in it? At this time, he took the token to go, so Zhuang Siyan couldn't get in?

But she also knew that this was Jia Youshan's last concession, and his caution would be better in normal times, but Zhuang Siyan was really anxious to smoke at this moment.

"Master Jia, this one token, you can only go in alone, you take it, I can't follow it!"

Jia Youshan has a very good set: "Master Si is not big, just change into Xiao Si's clothes and follow me." ”

As soon as Jia Mingyuan heard this, he immediately grabbed Zhuang Siyan's hand and said, "You come with me." ”

He took Zhuang Siyan to a room next to him, and quickly took a set of subordinate clothes: "Master Si, hurry up and change it." ”

He put his clothes in the corner of the table, and he also helped Zhuang Siyan take off his clothes, which startled Zhuang Siyan.

Quickly find an excuse to send him out, and then put on the clothes of the subordinate by dividing them by two.

After such a delay, half an hour passed, and Jia Youshan took the carriage and hurriedly took Zhuang Siyan to the gate of the palace, and an hour passed.

Fortunately, it didn't take much time for the two to enter the palace gate, and an old minister who was not in good health rushed to face the saint in the middle of the night, and there was no problem with a small secretary.

And they didn't have any weapons on them, which would be a lot more reassuring.

Zhuang Siyan was really anxious, and after entering, he said to Jia Youshan: "Master Jia is free, I'll leave first." ”

She was really in a hurry, and she didn't care if Jia Youshan told her to be careful in the back, she nodded on tiptoe, and disappeared at the end of the palace wall as soon as she slipped away.

Ling Tiancheng has been very busy recently, but no matter how busy he is, he can't stop him from thinking about Zhuang Siyan.

Coming out of the Chenxi Palace in the evening, Li Fu told him that Concubine Wan had not returned yet, and Ling Tiancheng's heart was empty.

He walked around outside Baizhuyuan, that is, just to understand the lovesickness, but when he was about to come back, he met Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong's superficial skills have always been very good, obviously she only came out when she heard that Ling Tiancheng was here, but when she saw him at this time, she was surprised: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

Ling Tiancheng used the old reason: "Passing by." ”

Concubine Rong immediately said: "The concubine made some desserts with her own hands today, and I heard that Concubine Wan likes to eat them, so I sent some." ”

Ling Tiancheng's face was indifferent, and his gaze didn't stop at her: "Okay." ”

He turned around to leave, but Concubine Rong had already taken his hand: "Your Majesty, go in with the concubines!" ”

The masseter muscles on Ling Tiancheng's face tensed for a moment, but they quickly let go, and he looked sideways at Concubine Rong.

The gaze was as sharp as a cold sword, and when she saw that Concubine Rong almost couldn't stand it, she said, "No need to go, she's not in the palace." ”

"Huh?" Concubine Rong exclaimed in surprise, and then pretended to say, "Then this dessert ......"

Zhuang Siyan really likes to eat desserts, this Ling Tiancheng knew that he hated Concubine Rong extremely much, but at this time, he still gave her a good face.

"I'll eat with you."

So Concubine Rong successfully brought Ling Tiancheng back to her palace.

These desserts were not made by her, but by the Imperial Dining Room, to be precise, by a special master in the Imperial Dining Room.

This person puts something in the dessert, and if he eats it, he will be addicted, and this addiction will consume his physical energy little by little, and his body will become worse and worse, but he can't find out the reason.

In the end, the physical strength was seriously overdrawn, which led to mental confusion, as the saying goes, crazy.

Concubine Rong has been eating for a while, and fortunately she doesn't usually like desserts, so that little amount has an effect on her, but because of the sweet and greasy feeling, she is very resistant, so she can still stand completely well.

When Ling Tiancheng went to her palace, it was possible not to even drink a sip of water, and as for what to eat, there were very few.

Strictly speaking, this dessert is really a lot of work.

The master of the imperial dining room was originally prepared for Zhuang Siyan, but unfortunately this eldest sister is running around outside all day long, and she may come back once in a while, and it is not certain whether she can eat or not.

Sometimes when she was in a hurry, she would deal with Ling Tiancheng together, and the imperial diet she would not be able to grasp her habits at all.

And this kind of poisonous pastry naturally can't be left every day, just take it as you like, so Zhuang Siyan hasn't been able to eat a bite until now.

Concubine Rong also hit by mistake, but since she bumped in, a useless person will die.

A murderer never thinks about the innocence of others, it is just a matter of convenience.

When Ling Tiancheng saw the dessert, he would think of Zhuang Siyan and pinch a piece of it.

He brought it to his mouth, and a faint fragrance wafted in first, making him can't help but take an extra breath.

This fragrance is sweet but not greasy, Yan'er should like it very much.

He took it and looked at it carefully, but he didn't eat it, and asked Concubine Rong to wrap a little bit for him to take it back.

Concubine Rong is not a fool, she knows who he is for, but unfortunately she doesn't know that there is a problem in this pastry, otherwise she should have agreed to even give the plate to the past.

"Your Majesty, if you like it, eat something here, I'll make you another pot of tea, this dessert is the most delicious with flower tea."

Ling Tiancheng replied, "How did you make this thing?" ”

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting what she had said before.

In the end, she didn't do it herself, she didn't even dare to force Ling Tiancheng to stay, for fear that this matter would be exposed.

Ling Tiancheng walked back with the pastry, Li Fu followed behind him, and there were a group of little eunuchs.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the palace lights had already been lit, and the light on the road, layer upon layer, spread out within the palace walls.

Ling Tiancheng asked Li Fu, "How many days has Concubine Wan been out?" ”

"It's been six or seven days."

He asked again, "Is there any news coming back from outside?" ”

Li Fu was busy reporting some of the news that Wen Qing had sent back, it was all trivial, and important matters would not pass through Li Fu, they would all go directly to Ling Tiancheng.

He didn't really want to know anything, he was just suddenly bored, and then just said a few casual words to Li Fu.

After asking these questions, I turned the conversation to the dessert in my hand.

"I think this thing is not bad, it smells fragrant, the entrance is sweet, Concubine Wan will like it, you go back and check it out, see who made it."

Li Fu agreed, and continued: "The emperor is really good to Concubine Wan, and even if you encounter a delicious dessert, you have to leave a copy for her." ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't respond to this, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled up.

It would be nice if she thought so too, but it's a pity that there is always something between the two of them because of this or that.

Ling Tiancheng was anxious to break down these barriers, but it always backfired.

At this time, holding something in his hand, as if he was carrying a heavy heart, suddenly it was not a taste.

When he was halfway through, he didn't want to go any further, so he handed the things to Li Fu and said, "You take it back to the Xuan Palace, and I'll go to the Queen Mother to have a look." ”

Empress Dowager An has been ill for a long time, as if since An Miao'er's death, her illness has not been better, intermittently, and she has been sick for three days a day.

Ling Tiancheng had taken two looks at it at first, but he didn't go later.

His cooperation with Empress Dowager An at the beginning of his return was just to take what he needed, and there was no emotion, even if he had feelings, in this big country, Ling Tiancheng could figure it out, which was more important to him.

Except for Zhuang Siyan, no one can influence him.

And Empress Dowager An, since she betrayed their agreement, then what awaits her is only death, she should know very well in her heart.

There has always been such a cruel law under the power of money, like a game that rotates continuously, you can't get out if you come in, and you don't die.

In fact, Ling Tiancheng thought that if Empress Dowager An had backbone, it would not be a good fate for her to die.

But people are very strange, when they live well, they will not cherish life because of a little thing, and once they really come to the end of their lives, when they face death, they will be extremely scared and want to live.

Empress Dowager An's palace is now only one imperial physician to take care of, but she stubbornly refuses to die, as if waiting for something to happen, staring at the door of the dormitory every day.

When he saw Ling Tiancheng coming, a trace of strangeness finally appeared in his empty eyes for many days, and even the corners of his mouth curled.

The entire Ningshou Palace is full of strong medicinal smell, as soon as you come in, you can smoke people upside down, and the Empress Dowager An can no longer find half a shadow of a year ago, and the whole person is aging quickly with the trend of destroying and decaying.

At this time, the person lying on the bed was already skinny to the bone, and his eye sockets were sunken, but his cheekbones were high, like two trembling mountains about to fall.

Her lips were dry and there was no moisture, and the corners of her mouth were only pulled back a little, and the dried skin burst out, and blood flowed down the edge of Tatsumi into the ravine of her chin.

The old palace maid who was waiting for her was busy wiping her with a towel, but was suddenly blocked by the Empress Dowager An.

She wiped the blood on her sleeve, and her eyes were still fixed on Ling Tiancheng's body

"Your Majesty, I finally came to see the mourning family." She raised a lot of energy, but her voice was weak, and it didn't have the deterrent power of the past.

Ling Tiancheng didn't say a word, and of course he didn't sit down, standing a meter away from her bed, looking at her old and unsightly face.
