The weather was cold and drizzling, and Bei Yuliang also got into the carriage wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and Zuo Xiang and some important ministers of the court saw him off behind.

After Bei Yuliang also left, the left minister had full authority to manage all affairs of the court.

When Bei Yuliang also left, he brought Zhiqiu and Li Mingquan with him, and there was no master and aunt who needed to be served, so I was happy and relaxed.

Because of the scars on his face, he basically closed the door, but the scarlet marks on his cheeks showed no signs of fading.

Today, there has been a light snow outside the window, like pear blossom petals scattered in the sky, one after another, bleak and beautiful.

The snow was scattered, and the moment it touched the ground, it turned into a splash of water, wetting the dirt.

The palace people laughed happily on a snowy day, and they were happy.

In the rainy and snowy season, the palace is even colder.

The fine snow falls on the evergreen leaves, and the plain white turns green, and it is the same color, accumulating layer by layer, and turning into a little teardrop at the tip of the leaf.

Looking at the laughter and laughter, listening to the laughter, through them I seemed to see the girl begging along the street again, curled up in the corner, hugging herself and thinking that only then could she resist the cold wind, but unfortunately the cold is the human heart, not the body.

rummaging through the wardrobe, I found a blue cloak, the white fur fluffy fluffy like the fine snow outside the window, and the buckle on the neckline was a jade bead, which was emerald and transparent.

Put on the cloak and cover the body tightly, the cap of the cloak just covers the cheeks, leaving only a dark shadow.

Shadow betrayed, now I can only trust Lan Zhi, and I can only ask for help from her, today happens to be a three-day period, and after discussing countermeasures with Lan Zhi, I should go to Prince Xuan's mansion, and he said that he found that person.

led a horse slowly to the palace gate, out of the palace gate, the sky was gray, snowflakes fell on the eyelashes, condensed into water droplets, and fell in every blink of an eye.

Reaching out to catch the snowflake, the temperature of the palm melted instantly, as if it had never been caught, the snowflakes were like fireworks, all of them were fleeting, and they were reluctant to be contaminated.

Ning Xianglou was a long distance from the palace, and he didn't rush there until the cold wind blew the back of his hand and he lost consciousness.

Xu is because of the cold, the always lively Ningxiang Building is deserted today, and the guys inside are eating mutton pot together, with a thick white soup. Gurgling and steaming, the smell of lamb fills the place.

The jasmine in the hall was replaced by the early blooming plum in the bottle, the yellow flower color, and the cold aroma added a touch of color to the hall.

A few subordinates carried a gong hou to the west hall, they were followed by a graceful woman, such a cold day still wearing a light silk dress, the light gray skirt with bright blue embellishment, not monotonous at all, she held a red fur coat in her arms, the most remarkable thing is that she also wore a veil, eyebrows and eyes arrogant, not contaminated with red dust.

Looking at her figure, I only felt familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that it was a woman on the stage during the Lantern Festival, but I didn't expect Lan Zhi to invite her to settle in Ningxiang Building, there was already a woman in the building who could play Konghou, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, there is bound to be a fight here. It seems that Lan Zhi wants competition in the building, and Ningxiang Building really needs some new blood and new vitality.

Lifting her skirt and going up to the second floor, Lan Zhi was flipping through the accounts, her brows were tightly locked, it was obvious that the situation in the building was not optimistic, and if she guessed correctly, she would almost be unable to make ends meet. There was no incense lit in the house as usual, but the rich and warm incense downstairs wafted away, and it touched the heartstrings in this room.

I reached out and pulled away the account from her hand, and as expected, I lost a total of 1,000 taels this month.

"What's going on?"

She walked over to the table and poured a cup of hot tea into my hand, the tea touching her lips and the tip of her tongue felt slightly cold.

"I don't know why this month, there are a lot fewer people, Ningxianglou has always been the pillar of the pavilion, but now it is ...... I used the thousand taels sent by the princess to invite some newcomers to come in and see if I could get better. She closed the books and stared at my face carefully. Princess, how ...... your face"

I took off my veil without hesitation, and Lan Zhi, who had always been calm and indifferent, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. "How so?"

"Ten spices are highly poisonous." I rolled up my sleeves, and the marks on the inside of my arms were visible, and not only that, but just yesterday, they had spread to my shoulders, and I am afraid that it would not be long before they spread all over my body.

"Princess, you obviously said that this is a miracle medicine for regenerating muscles and bones, could it be that the people of the Liu family are cheating?"

"I deceived you, I know that the ten spices are both medicine and poison. I was also helpless to make a dangerous move. "Grab her hand and let her settle, thinking about how to speak." I must not let my aunt know about this, and the only thing I can trust now is you. ”

She nodded helplessly and asked, "What should I do now?" ”

"Do you know that a few years ago, there was a third elder in the pavilion, now known as Qingzhu Sage, I inquired, he is good at making drugs and interpreting, I need you to use the power of Ning Xianglou to help me find this person."

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the poison on your body can't wait."

Put on the cloak again, put down the sleeves and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while, I am a person who has been to the Hades Palace, and my life is hard." If you give you three days, if it doesn't work, I'll find another way. ”

She nodded and said, "Why does the princess have to go back after only a while?" Didn't even finish a cup of hot tea. ”

"It's okay, you take care of Ningxiang Building."

Hurried downstairs, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and a thin layer had accumulated on the ground.

There was a little beggar squatting at the door of Ning Xianglou, who kept puffing into his palms, the clothes on his body were no longer colored, there were no shoes and socks, and his little feet were full of chilblains and pus and blood. Passers-by hurried by, and no one stopped for him.

I returned to Ningxianglou and asked the guy who was cooking the soup for a bowl of mutton soup, on which the green onion and coriander were shiny and green, and the mutton was soft and fragrant. I took the bowl of soup, crouched down in front of the little beggar, and placed the bowl on the ground in front of him.

The child, who looked like he was in his teens, stepped back vigilantly, his eyes filled with only disgust and hatred.

I don't know exactly what happened to him, but unfortunate people are always similar.

If someone had given me a bowl of hot porridge that year, I wouldn't have hated the world as much as I do now.

"I know you're hungry, don't worry, the soup is not for you, if you want, go to this building to find a sister named Lan Zhi after drinking. Tell her that you're willing to wash the dishes and mop the floor in the building in exchange for this bowl of soup. I took the jade pendant from my waist and said, "Give this to her, and she will believe what you say." ”

The little beggar still retreated until he leaned against the wall and could not retreat. But the hatred in his eyes had dissipated, and only confusion and fear remained.

I placed the jade pendant beside him and got up to leave.

After taking a few steps, I heard him say thank you in a hoarse voice.

The warm smile on his lips spread slightly, melting the cold and fine snow.
