She walked out of the main hall of the imperial study and looked coldly at the woman standing at the foot of the jade steps.

She remembered her, this was Concubine Su De's cousin, whose name was Yuyin.

She hesitated, suddenly surprised in her heart, she still remembered the first time she saw Xu Yuyin, that gentle and delicate beauty, with a face as clear as water and jade. But today, staring at this face, she felt more and more strange.

Today's Xu Yuyin is so charming, like a fire burning under the scorching sun.

She was red from head to toe, with red jade hair ornaments, red jade necklaces, vermilion palace clothes, and fine and dense embroidery of peony flowers with gold threads. A little red lips, like a ripe cherry, commensurate with her snow-white complexion.

The color was so bright, like blood.

Shen Yun really looked at her stupidly, compared with her, Shen Yun was as cold as the moon, like a little frost exposed under the scorching sun.

Xu Yuyin also saw her, so she smiled at her and blessed her body: "The concubine is Concubine Chen." ”

Shen Yunzhen's eyes flickered, and she asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xu Yuyin smiled and said nothing, and slowly walked closer: "What does Concubine Chen think the concubine is here for?" ”

Shen Yunzhen lowered her eyelids slightly and didn't answer, Jing Pei had just died, but she was dressed like this, with a happy look on her face. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, it's not going to be a good thing.

Shen Yun was really a little unhappy in her heart, but this kind of unhappiness was suddenly restrained by her reason.

Yes, the girl in front of her is a few years younger than herself, and even a blank piece of paper, a blank sheet of paper that has never experienced any love. Her road is still very long, although she is nominally Jing Pei's nobleman, but Jing Pei has never seen her, what reason does she have to be loyal to him all her life?

Shen Yunzhen shook his head: "You go in, there are other things to do in this palace, so I will leave first." ”

She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and walked slowly down the jade steps, but Xu Yuyin smiled warmly and suddenly grabbed her hand. Shen Yunzhen was slightly stunned, and looked at her with a face full of surprise.

"Concubine Chen, take care." Her tone seemed to be a little strange, Shen Yunzhen had already noticed it, and heard her say again: "I heard that my cousin and Concubine Chen live in the same palace in Sheng'an Palace, please help my sister with a good sentence." ”

There was determination in her eyes, and the determination made people feel chills down her spine, Shen Yunzhen held her hand hard, but she smiled warmly and pushed Shen Yunzhen away.

She walked slowly into the hall, Shen Yunzhen stared at her back, until the door of the main hall of the imperial study slammed again.

Nan Yinglin's laughter came from the hall: "I have heard that Xu Guiren is graceful, but when I see it today, it is really three points better than the rumors." ”

The sunlight was a little dazzling, she clenched her fists and hurriedly walked towards Dingtai Palace.

She stepped straight into the door of Dingtai Palace, and when she saw Concubine Su De coming over, she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Su asked her softly.

Shen Yunzhen was silent, and stretched out his hand from his sleeve. She held a ball of paper quietly in her palm, which was already a little soft from sweat.

"What is this?" Concubine Su said and reached out to take the paper ball over to look at it.

This paper ball is very small, and the exhibition can only see one sentence: Sumen Guo has loyal ministers.

Concubine Su De was stunned for a moment: "Who gave this to you?" ”

Shen Yunzhen also stared at the note: "It's Xu Guiren." ”

Xu Guiren? Concubine Su De looked at Shen Yunzhen in amazement.

This sentence is ambiguous, it can be taken as an affirmation, then it can be regarded as a compliment, or it can be regarded as a question, and it becomes irony.

She let out a long breath, and her cheeks flushed. Everyone knows that Nan Jingpei's death is inseparable from Nan Yinglin, and her father has just been promoted by Nan Yinglin to be the imperial master, even if she thinks with her toes, she will not imagine this sentence as a compliment.

But she didn't understand why Xu Guiren suddenly wanted to sarcastically mock her.

"Where did you meet her?" Concubine Su Defei asked.

"In the Imperial Study." Shen Yunzhen said softly.

The Imperial Study? She remembered that the imperial study had now become Nan Yinglin's world, and she suddenly became even more surprised, and asked, "Why is she in the imperial study?" ”

Shen Yunzhen shook her head: "I don't know what she's going to do, but I guess it won't be a good thing." ”

Concubine Su De suddenly became anxious, and walked out of the palace without looking back.

Shen Yunzhen hurriedly hugged her: "Sister, why are you going?" ”

Concubine Su Defei struggled with all her might: "Don't hold me, I'll go to the imperial study now, she must have done something stupid, her character is not understood by others, don't I understand?" ”

Shen Yunzhen didn't know what to say for a while, what kind of character Xu Yuyin was, she had no concept at all. She slowly let go of her hand and looked at Concubine Su De: "Since my sister is going, then I will accompany my sister to go." ”

Concubine Su De was a little grateful, smiled at her gently, and took her hand: "That's fine." ”

Shen Yunzhen took her hand and walked outside the palace, and suddenly heard a gong sound, followed by a eunuch's broken gong voice: "The Xu family is bold, the assassin is killed, and the emperor has a decree to spread the assassin to the six palaces to correct people's hearts!" ”

She turned her head in astonishment, but saw that from the turn of the palace wall, a team of eunuchs walked away, carrying a sedan chair like a person, and a red and bright dress all over her body, like a fiery morning sun, but also like a sunset shining sunset.

The sound of the gong clanging shook everyone's eardrums, and Shen Yunzhen completely forgot that she was supporting Concubine Su De, she only saw a cloud of flowing light floating in front of her.

The woman's hands hung low, her head lowered downward, her black hair hung down like a waterfall, and the two red jade steps shook between her hair.

They carried her and staggered past them, and suddenly they heard a loud bang. The eunuch's voice was rugged and sharp, echoing in the palace walls.

"Yuyin!" Concubine Su Defei screamed, her body suddenly fell backwards, and she sat on the ground, trembling like chaff.

Shen Yunzhen chased out, staring at that beautiful face, getting farther and farther away from her, as if she was about to disappear into the rapidly flowing river of memory. She desperately chased after her and grabbed Xu's sleeve.

"Xu Guiren!" She cried out, "What's going on?" What happened? ”

A eunuch quietly pulled her sleeve from behind, and she didn't pay attention to it, just desperately trying to take Xu Yuyin's body back from the hands of the eunuchs. She was getting more and more frenzied, almost tearing, and finally, the two eunuchs grabbed her arms and dragged her away from Xu Yuyin's side.

"The servant respectfully invites Concubine Chen's saint."

She steadied herself and turned her head sadly, only to see a eunuch with a lowered gaze bowing to her.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on!? What's wrong with Xu Guiren! She grabbed the eunuch's shirt and shook it a few times: "It was Nan Yinglin who killed her, and he killed her in anger, didn't he?" ”

The eunuch still lowered his gaze, and after a long time, he said quietly: "The concubine is cautious." ”

Caution? She stared at him.

The eunuch finally raised his head and said in a low voice: "It's General Xu Yongchang Xu, he led his troops to rebel in Beihan." ”

She chuckled in her heart and lost her voice.

"The emperor knew about this in the first few days, but he kept pressing it." He said.

"What about Xu Guiren?" She looked in the opposite direction, the direction in which Xu Guiren gradually disappeared.

In his ears was the voice of the eunuch: "Xu Guiren received a secret letter from her father, asking her to find a way to assassinate the emperor." He didn't continue, and the eunuch beside him added: "But Xu Guiren is a woman after all, how can he kill His Majesty?" ”

The eunuchs didn't say anything more, they all saluted her and walked away. The hoarse voice echoed in the palace again: "Xu's boldness, assassinate the king and kill the ......"

She staggered a few steps and slammed into the palace wall before she was about to stand firm, no wonder she told her to take care of herself so decisively, it turned out to be ......

This is also something that can't be helped, Nan Yinglin raised troops to rebel, and he was beaten by General Xu and retreated, now that Nan Yinglin is the emperor, how can he easily let General Xu go? What's more, she mentioned the word "loyalty" in her note, loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, I'm afraid General Xu Yongchang can't stand the despicable title of the third family slave.

She closed her eyes lightly and held her heart, still unable to suppress the shock and tremor in her heart.

She suddenly heard someone walking up to her, thinking it was Concubine Su De, so she hurriedly stood upright. What caught my eye was Nan Yinglin's cheeks. She suddenly turned cold again, and looked at him with hostility.

Nan Yinglin put his hands behind his back and laughed with a sneer, with some playfulness in his laughter: "Are you women changing their faces so quickly?" ”

"You killed Xu Guiren?" She stared at him awe-inspiringly.

Nan Yinglin bowed slightly, and nodded.

She hated, and suddenly slapped him in the face, Nan Yinglin didn't expect her to suddenly be angry, she was slapped in the face, and when she came back to her senses, she only felt that her cheeks were numb.

He seemed to be enraged by this slap, and grabbed her wrist suddenly, intending to scare her with two cruel words. But thinking that Shen Yunzhen wouldn't be afraid, he didn't say anything.

Shen Yun really withdrew his hand hatefully, and spit out two words contemptuously: "Beast." ”

Nan Yinglin's face was really stiff for a while, and after a while, he said quietly: "Even if you scold, even if you scold a carload of words?" The Xu clan will never survive, and your Nan Jingpei will not come back to life. ”

"Oops!" He shouted angrily: "This is unexpected, in the end, it was Xu Guiren who accompanied him on Huangquan Road, and the two of them became hard-working mandarin ducks." Nan Yinglin laughed loudly: "This Xu Guiren's appearance is indeed very beautiful, she should be the only woman in this Great Qi Palace who can be comparable to you, presumably Nan Jingpei will also like her." ”

She knew he was trying to provoke her, but she thought his idea was too vile.

Even if Jing Pei took a fancy to Xu Guiren in that world? General Xu Yongchang is a loyal minister of Daqi, and Xu Guiren is such a loyal woman. If Jing Pei really walked hand in hand with her on Huangquan Road, Shen Yunzhen would only feel relieved, where would she be as jealous as Nan Yinglin expected?

"That's great," she looked at him with disdain, "to have such a loyal woman follow my emperor, which just proves my emperor's virtue and sageness." ”

"You!" Nan Yinglin stared at her, and fire burst out of her eyes.
