Chapter 20: Strange

After listening to Yuan Fu's words, Wei Guifei looked at Yuan Fu who was kneeling in front of her, her face was full of doubts: "The paper has never left your hand from beginning to end, and you took the talented man's hand and drew it and left?"

But the eunuch said that he knew the contents of the pleadings, so what was the matter? ”

Yuan Fu said nervously: "The slave doesn't know, maybe, maybe—he's just nonsense, he doesn't know anything." Just to gain the trust of Concubine Shu?! Yuan Fu said, looking up at Wei Guifei.

Wei Guifei shook her head: "In order to gain Concubine Shu's trust, you openly deceive the king." Bengong sees that the slave is a clever one. Wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing. ”

"Niangniang, the slave's loyalty to Niangniang can be seen by the sun and the moon! No two minds! Yuan Fu was anxious, and knelt down at Wei Guifei's feet: "Niang Niang Mingjian!" ”

Wei Guifei looked at Yuan Fu so anxious that cold sweat came out, but she laughed. She stretched out her hand and touched Yuanfu's head: "You are stupid, of course this palace knows that your loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon." How can I doubt you? However, it is not from you that he knows it, he always knows where it comes from. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Wei's face calmed down. The voice was bone-chilling: "Since you are not from the place, then you should check the place from carefully."

It's time for our palace to be cleaned up. ”

Wen Qingwu sat in his room, there were houses on all sides of the Dafu Palace, and the people in the courtyard left to collect silk. She was the only one left in the entire compound. She sat under the open window and watched the courtyard where the summer flowers bloomed and the years were quiet.

In the afternoon, the cicadas chirp gradually.

Warn?

Did she read it wrong?

For some reason, the glance outside the Penglai Hall made her linger, and the quiet and deep eyes lingered in her mind.

If you weren't mistaken, why warn her?

What to warn her?

"Talented, it's time to eat." Willow Leaf walked in with a meal. She watched Wen Qingwu turn her head to look at herself, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she put the meal plate in her hand on the table: "The dining room said that it was past the meal." She whispered.

On the plate was only a bowl of porridge with two rotten leaves floating on it, not even a grain of rice, and a plate of pickled vegetables that tasted a little rancid.

Where would anyone drink porridge at noon, apparently left over from the early morning.

Wen Qingwu took the dishes and chopsticks and looked down.

It's hard for them to find a rancid meal in this palace.

After watching it for a long time, Wen Qingwu put down the dishes and chopsticks and ate the snacks on the plate on the table.

"Talented, or ...... The slave and maid go to the dining room again to beg for it? Liu Ye looked at Wen Qingwu and couldn't bear to speak.

She was okay and ate with the palace ladies of the entire Dafu Palace. Talented people can't just live by eating snacks.

"Will I give it to you if I ask for it?" Wen Qingwu shook his head, raised the handkerchief in his hand, and gently wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth according to the posture of the sisters in his memory: "Liu Ye, do you know what is going on with the concubine and the concubine?" ”

Wen Qingwu turned his head to look at Liu Ye: "After falling into the water, I often can't remember things. ”

Willow Leaf realized. Earlier in the main hall, she heard Wen Cairen's words.

"What else can I do, it's Doubei. The lady concubine has the favor of His Majesty, the concubine has the guards in the front court, and the entire Wei family supports her. Anyway, the two mothers are not easy to mess with. Liu Ye said the back, and his voice was lowered.

Although I don't know much about this dynasty, Wen Qingwu, the official position of the previous dynasties, can't understand it better. The three high-ranking officials are also the prime ministers. Among them, the deputy governor of Shangshu Province is the actual head of the province and the prime minister.

Then it's no wonder that Concubine Wei has such a temperament and scheming, and she can still hold the position of concubine under Concubine Mei.

Wen Qingwu thought about it, and wanted to ask Liu Ye something, but looked out of the open window, a figure squatting next to the stone statue outside the Dafu Palace, not knowing what to do.

Wen Qingwu got up and walked to the window, only to see a chamber attendant with a caged crown, squatting under the granite next to the stone statue and tinkering with something.

"That's the gardener of the palace. It is time to prune the branches outside. Liu Ye explained.

I can't remember anything when I fall into the water, so I can't even forget the gardener who often prunes the flowers and plants of Dafugong.

Wen Qingwu was about to turn around, when the gardener suddenly stood up and looked at her with a burning gaze.

Wen Qingwu's body paused to meet the gaze. The gardener lowered his brow calmly, shook the scissors in his hand, and turned away.

A strange thing spread in Wen Qingwu's heart.

"Do you know the gardener?" Liu Ye asked.

Wen Qingwu thought about it, and then shook his head.

A lowly chamberlain in the Great Interior, if he knew her, he shouldn't be like this. Either because she was worried about being humiliated, or because she offended Wei Guifei and avoided her like a snake and scorpion.

No matter how bad it is, in this well-disciplined palace, at least you have to bow down and salute her.

"But, if you don't know—why does he look at you like that?" Liu Ye glanced at Wen Qingwu, and his heart was slandered.

Has this notorious talent ever bullied a little gardener? I just forgot about it......

Liu Ye flattened his mouth, "The slave went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." With that, he turned around and went to clean up the untouched dishes on the table.

Wen Qingwu stood alone by the window, looking at the empty door of Dafu Palace.

This woman died when she fell into the water. And what about before falling overboard? What kind of person is she, and what does it have to do with her?

He used her life, and if he didn't want people to notice, he had to bear the pull of her life. Can't get aside, can't figure it out.

Wen Qingwu raised his hand and stroked his forehead, frowning slightly. Why don't you have a memory of her?

After thinking for a moment, she got up and walked to the large palace gate.

When Liu Ye came back from the dining room, he saw Wen Qingwu standing at the door of Dafu Palace. She hurriedly picked up her skirt and hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?" ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Wen Qingwu withdrew his gaze from the granite statue.

"The weather is just right, walk around."

Beneath the granite statue is a leg-high cluster of flowers. April is in full bloom and the roses are red.

Blooming so brightly, pruning flower branches?

Pruning flower branches, one is the dormant period, and the other is the growth period. How can there be a good bloom to repair. So—what the hell is the little gardener here for?

Footsteps stopped behind him: "Talent likes roses? Willow Leaf's voice came.

"Okay." Wen Qingwu replied. His eyes swept over the rose bushes all over the place and descended the steps at the entrance of the Dafu Palace.

"Where are the talented people going?" Liu Ye followed behind, rubbing her white little fingers uneasily. just touched Wei Guifei's unhappiness, shouldn't she stay in the house peacefully?

"Go around." Wen Qingwu replied, and after that, he stopped and turned his head to look at Liu Ye: "You talk too much." ”

When Liu Ye heard this, he immediately pursed his mouth and looked at the four sides timidly.

After a moment of silence, she said again: "Only talented people come out and wander around, in case they are seen-" In the past, I made so many feuds, and I would definitely be bullied if I was seen.

Maybe she'll be repaired as well.

Yes, it will definitely be repaired.

Liu Ye uneasily met Wen Qingwu's cold gaze when he turned his head.

"Slave... I can't help it. Willow Leaf cried. Thinking that someone would fix it later, she felt very uneasy.

"If you talk more, I'll cut out my tongue for you."

Liu Ye looked at his own talent and finished speaking coldly, and was stunned in place. A chill suddenly felt in my heart.

Raising his hand to cover his mouth, he looked at the back of the head of the master in front of him, and tears began to roll in his big watery eyes.
