The little palace maid stood in front of the porch and watched the two cats fight, and suddenly heard the sound of the curtains, and the fierce old aunt helped the queen out, timidly stepped forward to salute, and heard the aunt's stern voice five or six steps away: "I don't need you to send it, I will wait here to serve Mrs. Shen." ”

The little palace maid hurriedly took hands to agree, saw them far away, walked into the room with a sigh of relief, the lady lay on her side on the kang and fell asleep, she called twice and did not move, did not dare to disturb each other, added two pieces of animal charcoal to the big copper brazier, tiptoed down the curtain, and retreated to the bright room to do needlework.

Shun Yu raised her feet and stepped out of the threshold, the five or six imperial guards were not as solemn as usual, just talking to each other, the aunt did not panic, but took out a string of money from her sleeve cage and handed it over, and said with a smile: "You work hard in the snow on a cold day, the queen will be rewarded!" ”

The guards hurriedly took the money, bowed their heads, and let them leave.

The two of them went out of the Kunning Palace to the Imperial Garden, and saw that there was a pavilion surrounded by windows and doors in the middle of the lake, and walked into the pavilion without saying much, Shun Yu took off his clothes and changed into eunuch clothes, faded the pearls and emeralds on his head, took out his hairpin from the sleeve and re-curled his hair, and then put the gauze hat on the whole week, and then turned around, and saw the aunt sitting on the railing and looking at the winter water of the lake, so he urged: "This place should not stay for a long time, aunt quickly follow me." ”

The aunt didn't answer, but said: "You can't go east, there is a lot of guards along Duixiu Mountain to Chengqian Palace; You can't go south, there are things in Kunning Gate, where the eunuchs' eyes are very poisonous; There are four shrines in the west, and the palace people come and go the most, so it is difficult to guarantee that you will be interrogated when you see your eyes; You only have to go north, pass the Tianyi Gate and Shunzhen Gate, which is the Shenwu Gate, and lead to the market. ”

She paused, took a waist card from her sleeve and handed it to Shun Yu: "Sometimes the queen sends eunuchs out of the palace to do errands, and she uses this waist card, and the guards there will let her go." ”

Shun Yu took it hesitantly, swallowed her saliva and asked, "Isn't my aunt going with me?" ”

The aunt smiled faintly: "You can go by yourself, I can't walk........ This royal garden used to accompany the mother often, always careful to serve the side, now I want to take a good look at it......" Before the words were finished, a wisp of black blood overflowed from her lips, and she wiped it with a handkerchief: "You don't want to go quickly!" ”

Shun Yu wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

Wiping his eyes with his sleeve, he walked out of the pavilion without looking back, and ran along the stone road in the north direction.

When she approached Shunzhenmen, she saw five or six people coming from afar, and she looked around to sweep the rockery with Taihu Lake stones stacked on the side, and hurriedly hid behind.

Look at who the official is from, and the leader is Gonggong Wei.

It turned out that Shun Yu pretended to be the queen and mixed with the old aunt for a long time, the imperial guard who came to escort entered the room to pick up people, only to find that the queen died on the kang, Shun Yu was nowhere to be found, these people discussed, in case the emperor was in trouble but he was going to lose his head, or it was important to take advantage of the chaos to escape, so he covered the little palace maid to death with a soft cushion, cleaned up the valuable things in the room that were easy to hide, and the guards in front of the door vaguely found a reason to come again, and ran out of the palace gate to escape for their lives.

When Gong Wei came to reprimand him angrily, the guards in front of the door realized that something was strange and rushed into the room to see that Fang Xiao was in trouble, only to say that Mrs. Shen had escaped and scattered to look for her.

Father-in-law Wei took people from the Zaotang to the Imperial Garden, he was short and fat and loved to do things, and was secretly nicknamed "Wei Donggua", at this time he was out of breath, Rao was cold in winter, but he was covered with sweat.

When he saw the rockery, he wanted to relieve himself, and he was afraid of being looked at by someone to take his own posture, waving his hand and shouting to get away, those guards walked into the Jinxiang Pavilion and waited, he only then took off his robe and loosened his pants while bypassing the rockery, which thought that the figure in front of him flickered, only to see that it was a little eunuch, and he felt that the neck pain was unbearable, and he wanted to shout but as if his throat was choked, and the whites of his eyes fell heavily into the snow and became unconscious.

Shun Yu pulled out the hairpin and scratched it on his clothes, this was a few days ago to the feast, Shen Erye gave her for self-defense, the hairpin tip had a drug, and it was not used at that time.

Wan Haofa no longer stayed, pasted the palace wall and turned through the autumn leaf-style cave door, looked back at the pavilion The imperial guards were unaware, and strode to the side door of Shunzhen Gate with a sigh of relief, took out the waist card and handed it to the guard, the guard looked at her, and returned the waist card to let go.

Shun Yu thanked him, hurriedly ran to Shenwu Gate, and then took out his waist card, the protector didn't even bother to look at it, and waved her to let her go.

When I went out of the palace gate, I found that the lively market in the past was deserted and depressed, and the doors and windows of the shops and residences were closed, and the chickens and dogs did not smell it.

All you can see are the general running on horseback, the soldier with a shield and spear in his hand, coming out of this street and towards that road, coming and going beside Shunyu, no one cares about a little eunuch, especially when the war is about to burn.

Shun Yu couldn't walk more than ten steps, and suddenly stopped, a carriage in front of him blocked the way, and an official in a crimson court uniform stood with his hands behind his back, seeing her figure, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was not someone else, it was Qin Yanzhao.

Shun Yu subconsciously wanted to escape to the side lane, but Yu Guang saw that there were soldiers surrounding him, knowing that he was in a catastrophe, he closed his eyes and opened them again, slowly approached Qin Yanzhao, raised his face to look at him, and said in a calm tone: "Are you here to catch me and go to the city tower?" ”

Qin Yanzhao was silent: "I don't want to....... either"

Shun Yu just nodded: "Let's go!" He passed by him and sat down in the car with his feet up.

.......................................

The carriage creaked and swayed, and the soldiers in front of it opened the way, and the road was relatively smooth.

Passing by the Great Xiangguo Temple, although there are few people, but the monks still follow the practice of previous years, do a bathing Buddha meeting in front of the temple gate, under the shed that is erected, the cauldron is boiling and stewing Qibao five-flavor porridge, wisps of white smoke mixed with sweet fragrance spread out.

Shun Yu suddenly remembered that today is the eighth day of the lunar month........ It's another year.

"I want a bowl of sweet porridge." She said, her eyes still fixed on the steaming pot.

Qin Yanzhao hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Next time!" It's too late. ”

Shun Yu didn't say anything more, the wind blew the curtains, lifted down, and her face flickered and darkened.

Qin Yanzhao could feel her indifference, just like two strangers who met for the first time, they had no good feelings for each other, only full of embarrassment and alienation.

She didn't even seem to have any hatred for him.

Qin Yanzhao's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling, and suddenly remembered the former Shun Yu, who rode in a soft sedan chair with him, a girl with self-esteem, took the initiative to stretch out her hand around his neck, lowered her head and buried her head in his arms, she said: "You take me away now, go far away, and never come back!" ”

He didn't agree, if he had to go back in time and do it all over again, would he have made a different choice?

"Feng Shunyu!" Qin Yanzhao finally opened his mouth when he heard him: "Feng Shunyu, if I take you away now, are you still willing?" ”
