In the imperial garden, two people walked, three people followed, Cang Linchen changed into a set of red gold robes, a white fox fur on his shoulder walked in front, and Concubine Xiang followed gently by her side, with joy on her face that could not be concealed.

Xia Yinhuan didn't want to look at it, she just lowered her head and followed, feeling annoyed in her heart, how did she think what happened today was weird, but if she wanted to say what was strange, she couldn't say it.

It is already the first month, and it looks like it is almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year will pass like this, and the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are still the most cold-resistant.

The palace maid has swept the snow off the plum blossoms, the ground is full of snow, and the branches are red and bright, and the flowers are more and more beautiful against the background.

Concubine Xiang walked two steps quickly, walked under the plum tree and picked a plum blossom in her hand, smiled and returned to Cang Rinchen's side, handed the small bundle of plum blossom branches to him and said semi-coquettishly: "Your Majesty, wear this plum blossom for your concubine?" ”

Cang Linchen didn't answer, just quietly took the plum blossom branch and put it on her bun, the two seemed to behave intimately, which made people look envious.

Xia Yinhuan didn't want to see it, but it happened right in front of her, she was not blind, she naturally saw it really, to be honest, she felt very uncomfortable, she was about to go crazy, and she wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape at all.

Cang Linchen, who inserted the plum blossom branch in her bun, lowered her hand, looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard, her eyebrows gradually dimmed, as if she remembered the past, and sighed: "In the past, I and Yin Huan often came here, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come again." ”

When Concubine Xiang heard him mention Xia Yinhuan, her heart tingled, and then she glanced at Xia Yinhuan who was following Ling'er intentionally or unintentionally, and she also looked up in her direction, looking at each other, Concubine Xiang quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Your Majesty, isn't she already ...... the queen" She lowered her head, the last note was submerged into the air, her tone was heavy, and her talent for acting was innate.

She meant, 'Aren't you already dead?' Cang Linchen could hear what she hadn't finished, and smiled bitterly, looking at the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden, which were about to bloom in the last harsh winter.

"She should still be alive, she just doesn't want to see me." Cang Linchen lowered his eyes as he spoke, raised his steps and walked towards the courtyard, at this time, except for plum blossoms, other flowers could not endure the cold of winter, and became dead branches and leaves.

Concubine Xiang frowned slightly, she suddenly remembered what Ling'er said that day after he ordered Luoye to withdraw his troops, the withdrawal of troops was not sure that Xia Yinhuan was dead or gave up the search, but it was more likely that he already knew that Xia Yinhuan was still alive.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Yinhuan again, and fell into hard thought, did Cang Linchen know that Yan'er was Xia Yinhuan, if he didn't know, why did he withdraw his troops and still think that Xia Yinhuan was still alive, and if he knew, why was he so kind to her in front of Xia Yinhuan?

Cang Rinchen's mind didn't seem to be able to figure it out thoroughly, watching his back gradually move away, she hurriedly followed.

This man, she has always loved very much, she just looked at a portrait and was shocked, she wanted to enter the palace and encountered an accident, but fortunately, God had eyes for her to finally be proud to accompany him.

Now she can only try her best to please and try to get closer, even if she only gets a little closer every day, over time, she will one day become his inseparable person.

The only thing that worried her was Xia Yinhuan, afraid that something would happen, but fortunately, Xia Yinhuan didn't seem to plan to reveal her identity at all.

The two of them just walked in the Imperial Garden, less than half an hour, but Xia Yinhuan felt as if several spring and autumn had passed, and followed Ling'er with heavy footsteps.

She also listened to Cang Rinchen's words, and she believed more and more that Cang Rinchen knew who she was, but she did something like this to show her, and even said that she didn't want to meet.

Obviously, he wanted to keep Concubine Xiang by his side and treat her well, why did it become her Xia Yinhuan's fault?

She wanted to question Cang Rinchen, but now her identity did not allow her to do so, and finally Cang Rinchen said goodbye to Concubine Xiang and returned to the imperial study, and Concubine Xiang led Ling'er and her back to Fengle Palace.

Along the way, Concubine Xiang didn't look at her less, but every time she saw her lowering her eyebrows and low eyes, the veil covered half of her face, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she simply didn't say anything, and arrived at Fengle Palace.

Xia Yinhuan waited outside the hall all day, until she waited for Concubine Xiang to have dinner, and then Ling'er walked outside the hall and threw her a large stack of leftovers and said: "Send these back to the imperial dining room, you can go and rest, and you will be on duty tomorrow." ”

Xia Yinhuan didn't even respond, she took the leftovers in her hand and went to the imperial dining room, she understood what Ling'er meant, it was to tell her that she had to be on duty tomorrow night and wait outside the palace.

After a busy day, Xia Yinhuan's mind seemed to stir up a pot of paste, how could she feel that it was a wrong choice to come to the palace to be a palace maid, she never thought that being a maid was so tiring before she came, and the master had to follow wherever he went, and he stood for a day with sore waist and legs.

After sending the dishes to the imperial dining room and returning to the room, she didn't want to get up when she lay on the bed, she didn't even bother to eat dinner, and rolled and fell asleep.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the scene of Cang Linchen and Concubine Xiang in the imperial study today, and her heart ached faintly, as if there were thousands of insects and ants eating her heart, it was not very painful at all, but it could not be ignored.

Tossing and turning, she couldn't calm down, so she simply got up and walked out of Fengle Palace while it was still dark, and the winter weather was dark early.

When she first arrived in Youyou, it was already getting late, and she walked on the corridor out of Fengle Palace, aimless, not knowing where to go, whether to go to the East Palace or where to go.

When I went to the East Palace, I was afraid that I would encounter Cang Rinchen in the East Palace, so I simply took a step to the west. In the courtyard, the main hall on the west side is Fengqi Palace.

She hadn't been to Fengqi Palace yet, Fengqi Palace had been empty before, this was named the queen's bedroom, it should be her palace, but she hadn't been able to take a look at it yet.

Fengle Palace though is in the back. The west side of the courtyard is not the most western, and it is only here when you walk, and when you reach the outside of Fengqi Palace, Xia Yinhuan stood in the square and looked at the door without guards, so she raised her feet and walked up the steps without hesitation.

Fengqi Palace is very large, not Fengle Palace can be compared, a hazy cold moonlight in the sky, the palace lights around Fengqi Palace will illuminate the entire palace, dazzling, roughly calculated, at least thirty-six palace gates.

However, in general, only the main hall is useful, and the other side halls are just decorations.

Just like this huge palace, there are countless palaces, but very few are really used, and almost most of the palaces are empty.

She heard that the Cang Linchen Longevity Palace had been empty, and he basically stayed in the East Palace, but presumably he wouldn't be able to live for long, Xia Yinhuan thought about it and smiled bitterly and pushed open the palace door.

The East Palace is a palace for the prince, if he and Concubine Xiang give birth to a child, wouldn't it be the eldest son, wouldn't it be the prince, and he would live in the East Palace in the future.

The door of the temple is very clean, and it can be seen that even if it is uninhabited, people often come to clean it, and the hall is very large, perhaps because of the uninhabited relationship, it seems a little empty and depressed.

When she entered the hall, there was a vase on the left, and there was a reed planted in the large vase, and there were reeds on it at this time, and as she pushed the door open, the reeds flew and scattered all over the ground.

The brown carpet, the fluff is white pattern, it is actually the appearance of twin flowers, the carpet extends not far from a curtain, tied to the red pillars on both sides, the beams and columns of the mahogany are hollowed out, and it looks extraordinarily exquisite.

Walking inside, there was a desk on the right, and behind the desk was a bookshelf, she slowly approached and looked, and the bookshelf was full of medical books, and she had not seen it.

It was uninhabited, and the strange thing was that the rice paper was spread out on the desk, and one end was pressed with a jade, and the brush was hung on the pen holder, and the ink in Yantai had dried up, but it could be seen that someone tried to write something on the paper, but the pen did not fall a word.

Xia Yinhuan didn't have to think about it, it must have been Cang Rinchen after the completion of Fengqi Palace, and she had stayed here for a while before she arrived here.

On the left side are two beauties leaning on blue and white flowers, still twins, and in the middle of the beauties is a small square table, with a bouquet of flowers on the square table table, which is plum blossoms and bright eyes.

Seeing that the pastries and fruits on the table were all fresh, she couldn't help frowning and walked over, they were all lotus root cakes and candied fruits that she loved to eat.

Under the chair was an incense burner, she reached out and touched the cold one that looked like ice, it was not used at all, and it was useless to smoke incense in a palace where no one lived.

Further inside is a glass bead curtain, the colorful eyes polished into the shape of beads, she raised her hand to develop a string of crisp sounds, behind the bead curtain is a platform, on the platform is a formal put a guqin, under the piano is a futon, and then there is a screen with a white background, with ink abstract depiction of orchid ink, a little art and a little beautiful.

She turned her steps to the screen and saw the inner room, which was the residence, but saw that the lights were flickering on and off, a large bed was revealed in front of her, the head of the bed was carved with the appearance of a phoenix soaring, and behind the bed was a hollow wall.

It was the first time she had seen such a design in the palace, and her curiosity led her to bypass the bed and the hollowed-out hibiscus wall from the head of the bed, behind which there was actually a different winter.

A clear pool, a flat stone bridge in the middle of the pool, straight to the small room in the center, although the room is just a small platform, a chaise longue is placed on the platform, and a small table.

She slowly raised her steps and walked over, and her sharp eyes immediately noticed that there were lotus spores floating in the pool, and fine fish swimming.

She paused, and now she felt like she had stepped into a paradise, so a bright moon in the water distorted with the ripples that rippled and discerned.

Looking up, it is the sky, the bright moonlight, the sparse starlight, such a beautiful scenery, like a dream.

"Jingle Bell ......" When she was still moved by the scenery, she suddenly heard a strange movement, Xia Yinhuan's nerves tightened, and she immediately thought of the glass bead curtain in the hall, someone must have entered the room.

She raised her feet and prepared to return, but she turned around and walked towards the platform in the middle of the waterhole, it is conceivable that if she retreated, she would definitely collide with the people who entered the temple, no matter who it was, she would definitely make a fuss when she saw her here.

This is the queen's bedroom, not an ordinary palace gate, she trespassed into the queen's bedroom, and she is just a maid, not to mention that she will be severely punished if she is killed, unless she identifies herself.

Thinking about it, she had reached the platform, crouched down and hid in the gap between the chaise longue and the small table, staring at the entrance of the waterhole with wide eyes, and her heart rose to her throat.

I saw that there was already light in the hollow wall, and I don't know who was carrying a lantern, swaying, like a ghost fire.
