The plum garden is in the northeast corner of the palace garden, with thousands of plum blossom trees, carefully managed and irrigated by craftsmen. At present, it is not the plum blossom period, and the plum branches are desolate and lonely, dotted with some green leaves, which is not very beautiful.

Zhao Zhen came to the Plum Garden alone and went to the bamboo house in the innermost part of the Plum Garden.

The bamboo house is cleaned by a special person, it is very clean and tidy, and the bamboo has the effect of refuting the heat and enjoying the coolness. The room was divided into two rooms, the outer room was a case, a stove and the like, and the inside was a bamboo couch - occasionally Zhao Zhen would sleep here, and a row of Bogu shelves.

On the Bogu shelf, there are some gadgets scattered and scattered, what purses, palace fans, hairpins, hair bands, cups...... Zhao Zhen's face was calm, and his eyes were obviously dark, but there was an unknown emotion churning, light and dark overlapping, and finally condensed on a dagger.

The handle of the dagger is made of black jade, and a small plum blossom is carved, and the petals are inlaid with rubies, which is delicate and elegant, and at first glance it is not used by men.

Zhao Zhen gently rubbed the plum blossom with his fingertips, and the corners of his mouth hooked a soft smile.

He doesn't have many opportunities to deal with Wen Zhiluo, but they are all in the palace, and there is always a chance to meet. At that time, he was still an unknown prince, and his mother was sick, not to mention his father, even the eunuchs and maids in the palace did not treat their mother and son very well. And he was afraid of his mother's illness, so he was blindly cautious and did not dare to show his edge.

That day, his mother's illness suddenly became heavy, and she fell unconscious early in the morning, so Zhao Zhen hurriedly went to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Who knew that the imperial doctors on duty all excused themselves and refused to go. Zhao Zhen was so anxious that he immediately punched the imperial doctor. The hospital was in a mess.

Then, Wen Zhiluo appeared.

She was wearing a lotus lotus gold and silver thread embroidered treasure pattern gown, an azure Luo skirt, her forehead was covered with soft bangs, her eyes were clear and bright, and her smile was lovely. She walked to Zhao Zhen's side with light steps, and her voice was soaked in honey: "Let him go, okay?" ”

Zhao Zhen was tugging at the placket of a imperial doctor, who was blushing and had a thick neck, obviously about to die.

Zhao Zhen's eyes didn't know where to look, his mind was blank, and with a "grace", he let go of the imperial doctor.

Several imperial doctors came up to complain to Wen Zhiluo, Wen Zhiluo listened patiently, but said with a smile: "It is said that doctors are benevolent, why don't I see it?" Tang Jieyu is seriously ill, and your three pushes and four obstacles are reasonable. Look at me and tell King Qi to get rid of all your wine bags and rice bags. ”

"Miss Wen, you are okay, don't tell King Qi to do it? Let's go see Tang Jieyu, really, let's go! ”

Wen Zhiluo pursed her lips and smiled, took out a dagger from her sleeve, shook it in front of everyone's eyes, and said, "I don't know you yet?" In front of me, you pretended to be respectful, and turned your head to be a different face. ”

"Your Highness." Wen Zhiluo grabbed Zhao Zhen's wrist, put the dagger in his palm, and said with a smile: "Next time, I can't bear it, I don't need to move my fist, just stab it directly, don't stab it to death." It's on my head if something happens. ”

The faces of the imperial doctors were like earth.

Wen Zhiluo can be described as domineering in the palace, but the king of Qi is very fond of her, the emperor is old again, even the palace guards are controlled by the king of Qi, the palace is the world of the king of Qi, Wen Zhiluo is the person on the tip of the heart of the king of Qi, if she wants to kill someone, then she can really kill anyone.

Zhao Zhen clenched the dagger, stared at Wen Zhiluo and said, "If you do this, won't King Qi be angry?" ”

"Why are you angry?" Wen Zhiluo looked at him ignorantly.

Zhao Zhen choked and shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

Later, Wen Zhiluo sent two imperial doctors to treat Tang Jieyu and personally visited Tang Jieyu. Zhao Zhen was nervously by her side all the way, occasionally peeking at her, Wen Zhiluo was still young, but her appearance was natural, and she was a little immature in her brightness, and the tails of her eyes were slightly picked, like a small hook, and the hearts of people who hooked were itchy.

Wen Zhiluo waited until Tang Jieyu woke up before leaving.

Tang Jieyu asked Zhao Zhen to send Wen Zhiluo, and Zhao Zhen naturally had nothing to do. Walking to a secluded place, Wen Zhiluo suddenly stopped, stared at him and stopped talking.

He thought that his mind was seen through by her, and the nervous sweat came out.

"Your Highness, you have a good fist swing."

“……”

"Now that the northwest is fighting in a few ways, if there is a prince in charge and the morale of the army is lifted, there may be hope for victory. Your Highness...... Would you like to? ”

A treacherous place like the northwest, the princes can't avoid it. The slightest mistake can cost you your life.

Wen Zhiluo asked him like this, obviously not caring about his life and death.

Zhao Zhen was a little disappointed.

Wealth is in danger, although it is dangerous, but it is also his only chance to get ahead. In fact, the moment she asked, he already answered in his heart.

But he just said, "Let me think about it." ”

Wen Zhiluo smiled, "Three days later, I will come to you, and you will tell me the answer." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"Your Highness doesn't need to send it, someone is waiting for me over there." Wen Zhiluo smiled again, "Go and take care of Tang Jieyu." ”

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes, let his thoughts spread and scattered, and after a long time, he put down the dagger, walked outside, and used the wind stove to make tea.

*

"Master, just got the news, the prince let go of Concubine Hu."

Shuang'er came into the house and put down the tea, and said with a mysterious face.

"Do it?" Yi Xuan was surprised.

Zhao Zhen is not a person who will do anything to women.

"Yes. Many people saw the prince leave the Zhilan Courtyard angrily. Concubine Hu's eyes were swollen when she was crying. ”

Zhao Zhen was angry, was it because Hu Qingyun admitted to framing her? But according to Hu Qingyun's temperament, if there is no full evidence in front of him, he will never admit it.

"Then, what about the prince?"

"In the Plum Garden."

Yi Xuan smiled, "What did he do in the plum garden in the summer?" ”

"I don't know. But it is true that in the plum garden. ”

Yixuan thought about it for a while, and always felt that this matter was strange, but she couldn't say where the specific thing was, so she simply didn't want to.

"What about Li Jingyan? How is she? Yi Xuan took a sip of tea and asked, the slightly bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue, and she enjoyed it very much.

Shuang'er said: "The gate of Huaying Pavilion is locked, and there is no news. ”

Yixuan's heart jumped, and she looked at Shuang'er in a daze: "She won't ......"

Shuang'er waved his hand, "Don't worry, master." The maids are all in Huaying Pavilion, and they won't let Concubine Li have an accident. If something really happened, it would have started a long time ago. ”

Yi Xuan relieved her mind a little and advised: "Then you have to be careful, you send someone to take a look and make sure that everything is fine." ”

Shuang'er promised, which called Xiangyun to go to Huaying Pavilion for a visit.

"Is Zhuang Liu awake?" Yi Xuan was funny when she thought of Zhuang Liu's timid appearance, a big man, and fainted when she was frightened. Such a person, Hu Qingyun, also dares to use it.

"Wake up. He was first detained, and he was not tortured yet. ”

As soon as Shuang'er's words fell, Vanilla suddenly ran in from outside and said in a panic: "Zhuang Liu is dead...... Mother Zhuang also ......"

Yi Xuan's fingers holding the tea cup tightened suddenly, and she asked, "Dead?!" ”

"Yes, dead." Vanilla was shocked, "The slave maid was ordered to stare at the firewood room, so she walked away and took a sip of tea, and she ......."

Yi Xuan's face immediately sank, the death of Zhuang Liu and Zhuang Mu, except for Hu Qingyun, no one would do it! Hu Qingyun knew that Zhuang Liu couldn't stand the punishment, and sooner or later he would tell the truth, and if he didn't do anything, he would kill Zhuang Liu directly, and the dead man's mouth was the strictest.

The next step is to blame the death of Zhuang Liu's mother on her, saying that she was weak in heart and killed these two.

Yi Xuan was worried for a while, frowned, and said, "Hide this news from Huaying Pavilion first, don't let Concubine Li know." ”

"Yes, the slave will arrange it." Vanilla retreats.

Yi Xuan rubbed her temples with some distress, leaned her back against the cushion, and thought: "Vanilla is just a cup of tea, and it can be exploited by Hu Qingyun's people." In other words, the man was around the firewood room, keeping an eye on the vanilla, and only waiting for the vanilla to go away. You go check it out. ”

Shuang'er agreed and walked away.

Yixuan stayed in the house alone and sighed. Hu Qingyun's heart is too ruthless, he was like this to Lu Yingzhi at the beginning, and now he is the same with Zhuang Liu Zhuangmu, he will kill him after using it, it is really ...... Make somebody's blood boil.

You can't let Hu Qingyun be so bold. The house is full of Hu Qingyun's people, and Hu Qingyun wants to do something easily, and no one can stop him at all.

Unless the stewardship is snatched from Hu Qingyun's hands.

Yi Xuan thought so, was slightly stunned, and asked herself: Is it good for me to manage such a big palace?

Although she has also managed it in the capital before, it is mainly the credit of Ping Niang, and with Ping Niang here, she can manage it smoothly. And the Yuwang Mansion in Ganzhou is more than twice as large as the Yuwang Mansion in the capital...... She was really a little apprehensive in her heart.

But if she is idle, she can't do anything about Hu Qingyun at all.

Yixuan thought for a while, then pushed open the window and summoned a little girl, "Invite Mama Lai." ”

Mama Lai is an old man in this house, she is very reliable, and when she encounters something that she can't figure out, it's always right to ask her.

After a while, Mama Lai arrived.

"Sit down, mamma." Yixuan pointed to the seat opposite her.

Mama Lai bowed down to thank her, but did not go to the kang, but sat down on the embroidered pier, arranged the skirt in a proper manner, and said uprightly: "I don't know if the princess called the slave maid, what do you have to say?" ”

Yi Xuan decided to probe her attitude first: "Presumably Mama also heard about today's incident, this palace wants to hear it, how does Mama think about this matter?" ”

Mama Lai's eyes moved slightly, and she pondered for a moment and said: "Zhuang Liu and Concubine Li did that bad thing, and in order to get rid of the crime, they pushed everything on the princess." The princess is innocent. ”

After all, Mama Lai has been mixed in the courtyard of the deep house for most of her life, and she is naturally sharp-eyed and wise, and she can see at a glance that this is a disguise.

Yi Xuan smiled lightly, "How can you see it?" ”

"Because, the princess doesn't have to do this." Mama Lai said quietly: "If the princess wants to harm the princess, she will stab the prince directly on the bed, why bother so much?" ”

"Ahem." Yixuan was drinking tea, and when she heard that she was choked by water, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, I don't know if it was because of embarrassment or coughing, and her face turned red.

This Lai Mama is really ruthless when she speaks.

Mama Lai's eyelids were raised, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she thought that the princess was really thin-skinned.
