Nanhua Temple is a temple frequented by rich and powerful people, and the incense has always been very vigorous, the richer the people, the more they like to believe in these things against their hearts.

At the gate of Nanhua Temple, Yun Qixi saw Concubine Hui kneeling in front of the Buddha at a glance. She folded her hands and knelt silently, with a reverent expression.

Yun Qixi wanted to go in, but when she saw Qing Li standing not far from Concubine Hui, she stopped her steps.

There are many rooms in Nanhua Temple for pilgrims to rest, and Yun Qixi waited quietly in the side room, subconsciously reaching out to touch the phoenix blood jade bracelet.

When she went out today, she deliberately put on this phoenix blood jade bracelet. This was a gift from Concubine Hui at the beginning.

I don't know how long I waited, but there were footsteps outside the wing.

"Baozhu, who are you going to take me to?" Concubine Hui's voice asked.

"Mother, you'll know when you see it." Single Jewel Answer.

Soon, Concubine Hui's figure appeared at the door.

When she saw Yun Qixi sitting inside, Mei's eyes widened in surprise, and then she rushed in excitedly.

"Tanabata, Tanabata you're still alive! Hongu is not mistaken, right? It's really you! ”

Concubine Hui grabbed her hand and was so excited that she was incoherent for a while.

Yun Qixi gently held her with her backhand, "Mother, it's me." ”

Concubine Hui took a silk handkerchief and tapped the corners of her eyes, but the tears still rolled out.

"You kid, where have you been this year? Hongu thinks you are really who they say, and you don't know how Hongu got through those days. ”

Of course, Yun Qixi can understand her, just like she is worried about Lily of the Valley at the moment, and suddenly loses her flesh and bones, and that feeling is like sticking a knife in her heart.

"I know." Yun Qixi only said one sentence.

"Concubine Hui!" Qing Li's shouts came from outside, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Yun Qixi glanced at Shan Baozhu, she immediately understood and walked out.

"Qingli, I heard that you often accompany your mother to Nanhua Temple these days, I rarely come, why don't you take me around?"

"Yes, princess!"

Immediately after, the footsteps grew farther and farther away.

"Mother, what are you doing in Nanhua Temple every day?" Yun Qixi asked knowingly.

Concubine Hui never let go of her hand, and sighed, "The emperor has a serious illness and has been sick in bed, and this palace is here to pray for the emperor." ”

Yun Qixi has always felt that Concubine Hui seems to be a very understanding person, but now she can't understand her at all.

"Don't you want him to die? He killed Liancheng, don't you hate him? ”

She asked bluntly, even cruelly.

Concubine Hui's face immediately showed a trace of pain and remorse.

"Yes, I used to want him to die, I don't know when it started, my mentality is not so resolute, after all, I have been in Dayan for twenty-one years. Actually, it's all my fault, and if I had told them the truth earlier, they wouldn't have been suspicious of each other. I always thought that I wanted him to die, and I always thought that I wanted revenge to be firm, but when I actually saw him sick and bedridden, I found that not only did I not want him to die, but I also had a little heartache. ”

So sometimes, my heart can't even understand myself, thinking it's hate, but in fact, it has already turned into love without knowing it.

"Tanabata, if you want to hate, hate me! Everything is my fault. Concubine Hui looked at her guiltily.

How could she hate her? When her son died, her heartache as a mother would not be less than her, and I believe that she has been entangled with pain and guilt for more than half a year, and she is already very sad.

What's more, in fact, Shan Liancheng is not dead, she can only watch her heartache but can't tell her the truth.

"Mother, I don't hate you, I can understand you!" Yun Tanabata Road.

Concubine Hui seemed to be a little moved, and tears quickly filled up in her eyes, and she raised her head lightly and took it back.

"How is the emperor's health? Has the Imperial Doctor seen it? Yun Qixi finally asked the topic.

Concubine Hui sighed, "The imperial doctor has seen it and taken medicine, but it doesn't get better." ”

"Mother, take me to see him!"

Concubine Hui looked at her in surprise, in fact, she wanted her to see him, but thinking of the resentment in her heart, she felt that she must refuse, so she didn't speak, I didn't expect her to take the initiative.

"Good!"

They went out of the chamber, and Qing Li and Shan Baozhu were standing in front of the gate of Nanhua Temple.

The moment Qing Li saw her, a wave of hatred penetrated through her eyes.

Now that she is back, she will see her sooner or later, Yun Qixi avoided her at first, but she didn't want her to influence her to talk to Concubine Hui, she was not afraid of her.

When they returned, they went straight back to the palace in the same carriage.

In the carriage, Qing Li's eyes came over from time to time, and he finally couldn't help but speak.

"It's great that I didn't think I would have the opportunity to meet the princess again."

How hypocritical and hypocritical this is!

It was as if she wasn't the one standing behind her with a dagger and wanting her life.

Yun Qixi smiled faintly, "Yes, who made me a person who is afraid of death?" It's better to live than to die, and since he left early, I have to live enough with his share. ”

After hearing this, Concubine Hui stretched out her hand to cover her chest, frowning, as if she was in extreme pain.

Qing Li hurriedly stepped forward to hold her chest for her, while apologizing, "I'm sorry, Niangniang, it's the slave who shouldn't mention your sadness." ”

Shan Baozhu also hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother, how are you?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

In fact, Yun Qixi also wanted to go up and comfort her, after all, Concubine Hui was very good to her, and her impression of Concubine Hui was not bad, and she could understand her indirect mistakes.

But Qingli and Shan Baozhu are one left and one right, and there is no place for her.

Looking at Qing Li's intimate appearance, she is more like a good daughter-in-law than her.

Yun Qixi opened the curtain and simply didn't look at her, so as not to add blockage to his heart.

The carriage entered the palace, and everyone got out of the carriage. Concubine Hui took her all the way to Chengqian Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids I met on the way, some of them knew her, and their faces looked like they had seen ghosts, and their bodies were shaking when they saluted Concubine Hui, thinking that if Concubine Hui was not present, they would have fled in all directions.

When he arrived at Chengqian Palace, You Wanshan happened to come out of it, and when he saw Yun Qixi, his expression was too surprised, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and he rubbed his eyes desperately twice.

"Two, Second Miss, are you back......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes turned red.

Although she has not had much contact with You Wanshan since she replaced the identity of Second Miss, she knows that he used to watch Second Miss grow up and loves her very much, so he is really happy to see that she is still alive.

Yun Qixi smiled slightly, "Father-in-law You, I'm here to see the emperor." ”

"Hey, okay, the emperor just woke up from a nap, and the slave will go in and report it, if the emperor knows that the second lady is back, he will be very happy."

With that, he hurried in, and his steps were extremely brisk.

Is it? Will he really be happy?

When she took Li Qian with evidence to prove Shan Liancheng's innocence, her indifference and evasion still remembers him.

Although it turned out later that he and Shan Liancheng were in collusion, it still made her feel cold when she thought about it.

What she can't forget is the night of the Lantern Festival.

Now that I think about it, the meaning of the Lantern Festival wrapped in lotus hearts may be to tell her that she will come bitterly.

But when she also fell down the stairs, no one came to help her, and as the emperor, he didn't say a word for her, if Chu Lingyun hadn't come in time, what would have happened to her? Will they watch her die?

Thinking of all this, Yun Qixi's heart was mixed.

She thought she would never come back here, but she did!

It seems that she is destined to be entangled with this palace for the rest of her life.

"Concubine Hui, Second Miss, Princess, go in!" You Wanshan came out after a while, and the happy smile on his face had not faded.

Entering the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, the scent of smoke wafted faintly into the nose.

Bypassing the screen, I saw Shan Ye lying on the bed.

Shan Ye's eyes kept looking in the direction of the footsteps, and there was a trace of waves on his face, when You Wanshan came in just now, he should have told him that she was back.

"The concubine sees the emperor!"

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Slaves and maids see the emperor!" Concubine Hui and Shan Baozhu, Qingli saluted one after another.

But Shan Ye's gaze only fell on Yun Qixi's face.

Yun Qixi hesitated for a while before he was blessed.

"See the emperor!"

I still remember the last time I saw him during the Lantern Festival, he was still in good spirits and looked very healthy. It's really sick, and now that I'm sick in bed, the majesty of the emperor has weakened a lot, and the sick look and haggard look on that face are really embarrassing.

What about more money, no matter how much power? After all, you can't escape the hurdle of birth, old age, sickness and death.

I wonder if at this moment, when I think back to the struggle of my life, what I care about, what I cling to, is there still meaning?

"Father, are you feeling better?" Shan Baozhu threw himself in front of the bed and asked softly.

The breath in Shan Ye's throat was a little heavy, and his mouth opened and closed for a long time before he said, "You all go down, I want to talk to Qixi alone." ”

Shan Baozhu rarely entered the palace once, and he wanted to stay a little longer, so he was a little reluctant to leave. It was Concubine Hui who took her hand and took her away.

When only the two of them were left in the inner hall, Shan Ye pointed to the low stool next to the bed.

"Come and sit."

"Emperor Xie!" Yun Qixi walked over and sat down.

Closer, she could even hear the phlegm sound coming from Shan Ye's throat

"Where's Liancheng?" Shan Ye looked somewhere and asked.

Yun Qixi said calmly, "He's in a place that others don't know. ”

Shan Ye let out a long sigh, "Qixi Festival, Liancheng said that you like to live a free and easy life, for your sake, he would rather give up everything, since he is gone, why do you want to come back?" ”

Yun Qixi was silent for a long time before he said lightly, "My mother gave me a dream, saying that the emperor is sick and asked me to come and see you." ”

"
