Chapter 12: The Puzzle of the Game (2)

"Sister Su Jin, I am Yinyue, when I was keeping a wake for Liu Meiren a month ago, my mother was seriously ill, and the moon silver was not issued, you gave me a pair of jade earrings and sold them for money to save my mother's life." The little palace maid's eyes widened, and she looked like you really didn't remember.

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, and then I took a few bites of the bun with confidence, chewing and chewing before I realized that I was really hungry, so I solved it in a big gulp.

"Actually, it's not easy for our master, a few days ago, I was often counted by Concubine Li to find trouble, yesterday there was a mercy Wanyi, I heard that it is a dancing water spirit embryo, anger is naturally inevitable, don't take it too seriously." Yinyue yawned, and her gaze fell on my cheek, "Sister Sujin, how do you feel the wound on your face is not the same as before, I remember that the color is not so light." ”

I didn't know how to explain it for a while, so I coughed a few times to cover it up before saying, "Oh, this scar can be treated with medicine, although it can't be recovered, but it can be made a little lighter." Hu made up a reason to prevaricate, she nodded convincingly, saying that it did look much better than before, not so terrifying.

"Lian Wanyi, have you ever seen it?" I digressed and tried to get something out of her mouth.

"Yes, I met the queen this morning when I went with my master to greet the queen, and that was really ......" Before the words were finished, a faint sound of broken footsteps came.

"Mu Meiren is here?" The voice was extremely clear, with the playfulness of a girl, I frowned, I just felt extremely familiar, and turned my head to look, sure enough, it was her, but now I have changed my identity.

"Slave and maid to Mercy Wanyi." Yinyue immediately knelt down, and I looked straight at the person in front of me, not knowing how to say goodbye. I haven't seen her for a day, she put on makeup, put on a bright dress, the original beauty has become charming, or the so-called, there is a banshee and beautiful, Pei Hui Xiangshui Mei, Shui Mei Lan Du Ruo, who will be sent to Caizhi.

Lian Wanyi looked back at me unceremoniously, condescending and unattainable. "It seems that Mu Meiren is not here, so I'll come back another day."

"Slave and maid send Wanyi." I shouted softly and bowed my head respectfully.

She turned her head, and the purple jade steps on her bun clanged and collided, which was extremely conspicuous. "Interesting." She muttered, and the palace maid beside her helped her to step up.

I watched her leave, her thoughts gradually became clear, she was clearly not afraid of me, and she did not have a weak heart after stealing the beams and changing the pillars, and her martial arts were extremely high, so it seemed that she was definitely not the only one who wanted to disrupt my plan, the power behind her was immeasurable, if it was ruled out that she was the person of Beiyu Jinchen, the people behind Lian Wanyi would not be able to compete with all the strength of the Dark Night Pavilion. Lian Wanyi is familiar with our plan, and she sneaked into the Longcheng Palace unreasonably, found out the emperor's thoughts, and knew the route in the palace well, it should be someone secretly helping, and the eyeliner planted by this person is not in the prince's mansion but in the dark night pavilion.

The heart is like numbness, if the inner ghost is in the palace, it will be easy to do, if it is in the dark night pavilion, it will be troublesome, and I don't know if he knows that the dark night pavilion is actually a restoration organization for people to take people's money and eliminate disasters on the surface, if he tells his aunt about this, he doesn't know how many people in the pavilion are needed to accompany the funeral.

It is not easy for the palace maid to get out of the palace, first, to get the permission of her master, second, to bribe the palace gate guards, in case they deliberately make things difficult, and third, to return within the specified time, if you violate the forbidden law, you will be punished with a hundred rods, that is to say, there is no way to live.

Fortunately, Mu Han and I still have some sisterhood, and she came to wipe my knees with medicinal wine after asking the Queen Mother for peace yesterday. For the elders in the Dark Night Pavilion, what is the punishment of kneeling? In that environment, be cautious every step of the way, maybe a word can kill you.

Any reason was approved, and there was also the token of the eldest princess who was given by Beiyu Jinchen to leave the palace, and it was very smooth to get out of the deep harem.

I stood outside the palace gate, with high walls and red bricks, shuddering. As soon as the hired carriage arrived, it immediately rushed to the "Ningyue Tower" non-stop

Ningyue Building is known as the first floor in the world, I have to admire my aunt's business ability, this building was a dilapidated brothel, she bought it seven years ago, and gathered a woman with good skills, after some **, Ningyue Building appeared.

The women in it do not sell their bodies, these women are "confidants" cultivated for the literati and nobles, the price is scary, the value of the girls is different, the higher the price, the more outstanding the woman. And all the girls have a common trait - empathetic, not vulgar or flattering. This attracted the men's desire to conquer even more, and Ning Yuelou also prepared a lot of financial resources and intelligence for the restoration of the country.

Ningyue Tower is the core of the Dark Night Pavilion, in addition to large and small tea houses, inns, and money villages, each of which has a connection, and the monthly profits must be accounted for here by Ningyue Tower's "Lan Zhi Mother". It wasn't easy to manage the Night Pavilion, but she was able to keep it all in order.

I heard that Lan Zhi's parents were my mother's imperial physician and personal maidservant, and in the end, her mother suffered the insults of those invaders and died with hatred, and Erlan Imperial Doctor was beaten to death in prison. Lan Zhi is twenty-two this year, and she is just a child one day when the country of Liangxi is broken, and she has experienced unbearable suffering, and it is her greatest wish in her life to restore the country.

Pick up the bamboo curtain hanging on the car, the place is very familiar, I subconsciously shouted to stop, the driver did not know the reason. I had already jumped out of the car and looked up, the original magnificent courtyard was deserted, and the huge word "Liufu" came into view.

"Here, how did it become like this?"

The coachman sighed and replied, "Don't you know, girl? The Liu family has long been separated from their wives, this Lord Liu was originally the imperial doctor of Concubine Li's mother, Niangniang had a miscarriage, and he couldn't get out of it, he was stripped of his official position, and he fell into the river and died half a month ago. The daughter of the Liu family also died of illness in the palace, and the last youngest son was arrested for selling illicit salt, and the rest of the female relatives went their separate ways, just one word - miserable. ”

Falling into the river? It's ridiculous, he's so water-based, how can he be killed so easily, I haven't had time to see it with my own eyes. He has exhausted all his life, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his biological daughter in order to pave his career, which really proves that sentence - it is not that the time has not come.

I smiled and laughed, laughed out of tears, when the queen mother entrusted me to her most trusted maid, she took me to Liufu, this man who had exhausted the organs gave her a full meal and shelter, she thought that this person was her beloved, she thought that she had found sustenance, thought that she could take me to live incognito, even if it was someone else's concubine, but she was wrong.

On the day of delivery, the eldest lady was not allowed to call the midwife, and I watched her scream over and over again, saying to save my child. Maybe she knew that her time had come, so she pulled me to her side, and she said: "Princess, the slave maid has the trust of the queen, you have to go first, you are the emperor, you are the pride of Liangxi, you should not stay here."

I knelt before her until she died. My so-called father didn't come to see her, and he was buried hastily.

Since then, I have understood that there is no real love in this world, there is no so-called beloved, only love yourself, and only unscrupulous means can survive.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" The coachman panicked and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, let's go."

Put away my tears, only if I become strong enough to get what I want and protect the people I want to protect.

Back in the carriage, my heart is beating very fast, and the medicinal power of the ten spices is extremely strong, what will I be like in a few years? She said that I was the pride of Liangxi, she was wrong, I was just a pawn paving the way for others, paving the way for the real heir of Liangxi.

My aunt said, after returning to the country, I am the noble eldest princess, heh, which eldest princess in history has had a good end? The queen mother thought that my father's favorite was me, the emperor who held the moon with stars, but she forgot that the Nine Emperor Sons, who were still in infancy, were also sent out of the palace in chaos.

He is the master of Liangxi.

Dizzy, it took half an hour to arrive at the Ningyue Tower. I got out of the carriage and handed the jade at my waist to the strong man at the door, who glanced at it and clasped his hands into fists to salute me, and then led me all the way inward.

The mahogany carved staircase with delicate white jasmine at the foot is placed. The hall is extremely quiet, and occasionally the sound of the flute and piano is faintly heard, which is ethereal and graceful. There are a total of thirty-four compartments in the building, seven private rooms, and five other courtyards, all of which are inhabited by girls who are difficult to see.

Go up to the third floor, there is a crystal carved curtain hanging at the end of the corridor, pick up the curtain and enter, what comes into your eyes is a picture of a beautiful woman painting Danqing, Lan Zhi is an extremely quiet woman, tepid, and you can fall into the city with a smile.

"Princess?" She sensed my presence and smiled, her lips red and her cheeks a pale pink.

"How many times have I said it, and it's not in the cabinet, so you don't have to be so restrained." I picked up the table and admired the landscape she had just painted.

She poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, "I know everything about you, but I don't think it can be Prince Xuan's person." ”

"Oh? How so? "I took a sip of tea, and the aftertaste lingered, although she taught me the art of making tea for two years, I was inferior to her after all, and I was not as good as a teacher.

"He went to great lengths to join forces with you, how could he change his mind without saying a word, although he was in power, he didn't have the troops, and he offended the Lord of the Dark Night Pavilion, such a cost-effective deal, he shouldn't be able to count it. Besides......" she hesitated for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Zuo has come to the cabinet and wants to join forces with us." ”

"Left Phase?" I laughed dumbly, Zuo Xiang is Beiyu Jinchen's sworn enemy, although he was once married, but everyone rumored that Beiyu Jinchen killed his beloved wife, how could Zuo Xiang let him go. This scene is really getting better and better.
