On this day, Guan Qingqiu accompanied Shen Yan in the Qingzhao Palace.

Although Shen Yan's behavior was no different after Concubine Li gave birth a month later, Guan Qingqiu often stayed with him and could find his depression.

Shen Yan was holding a scroll in his hand, there was a faint cyan under his eyes, and his peach blossom eyes, which had always been handsome, had a faint red bloodshot, because Shen Yan copied a lot of "The Curse of the Afterlife" late at night, and sent it to Anhua Hall to burn the child together.

I guess I haven't slept during this time.

Guan Qingqiu sighed lightly in his heart, whispered something in Li Yu's ear, and then gently added some sweet goose pear tent incense to the gilded copper furnace.

Shen Yan's action of reading the book was suffocated, the ambergris fragrance was light with a faint bitterness, this fragrance was sweet and soft, it was easy to distinguish the difference, he smiled slightly bitterly: "No matter how sweet the fragrance is, the heart can't be sweet." ”

Guan Qingqiu said directly: "But if you smell the bitter fragrance again, won't it be bitter to go home." ”

Shen Yan put down the book in his hand, looked at the shiny table with concentration, and spoke with sadness for a while: "This is my third child, and he hasn't been born yet...... It's gone. ”

Guan Qingqiu was much relieved when he saw the sadness on Shen Yan's face, if he kept it in his heart, it would be terrifying.

Guan Qingqiu softened his voice: "How sad the world is, the child has already ascended to bliss." ”

"Are you using me as a child?" A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and it disappeared again in an instant, and the heavy golden dust floated in the Qingzhao Palace, becoming more and more gloomy.

Guan Qingqiu sighed: "It's not that the saint is a child, it's that the deceased is gone, so I can only think like this, don't hide it from the saint, the concubine's mother has gone since she was a child, and every time the concubine thinks about her mother enjoying happiness in heaven, she will always feel better." ”

Shen Yan listened to Guan Qingqiu's words and remembered the queen's relief: "It's because this child is not blessed, so he can't accept the blessing of the saint." ”

Shen Yan smiled faintly at that time, but he was very disappreciative in his heart, aren't anyone's children all fateful? To say these blessed and unblessed words is simply heart-wrenching......

The scary thing is that there are many people who think like this.

In addition to the queen and concubines in the harem, the previous dynasty was also turbulent, and the Confucianism was imprisoned, although the evidence was conclusive, there was always a suspicion in his heart, he didn't believe it...... I don't believe that Guan Ru is such a person, Guan Ru was not only Hongru at that time, but also had a teacher-student relationship with him.

But the old minister Gao and Changhe and the commander Cao Jia held on, and even the third child paid attention to this matter.

On the one hand, there is the love between teachers and students, and on the other hand, it is the important minister of the country.

Concubine Jia's mother's family, the Gao family, and the queen's Cao family are powerful, and even he has to scruple about it.

Neither side is worry-free.

Shen Yan's gaze was fixed on Guan Qingqiu's face, there was only this person, and he had the same heart as him.

Outside the window, the wind whined, the cicadas were swaying, and the branches were swaying gently.

The bitter wind outside is mixed with the yellow fallen leaves, but the inside is warm, revealing a hint of sweet pear fragrance.

Shen Yan was glad in his heart, fortunately he had her, a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he slowly hugged Guan Qingqiu in his arms.

Guan Qingqiu leaned on his strong chest and said, "The Holy Lord is going to have a good rest in the near future, what if you are sick?" ”

Shen Yan hummed softly, and the two were speechless for a while.

At this time, Li Yu came in and said, "The slave has something to report." ”

Guan Qingqiu got up and said, "The concubine retired first." So saying, he withdrew from the temple.

"Is there a result?"

Li Yu knelt down: "The slave is incompetent, please forgive the saint." ”

After Guan Qingqiu left, Shen Yan's face slowly turned cold.

Hidden so deeply, Li Yu didn't even find any clues.

"Let's go down."

Shen Yan suddenly said, "Eleven." ”

A young man appeared silently in the hall, and the secret guard had existed in the palace since the previous dynasties, serving the imperial power, and only the orders of the Holy One were the heads.

The boy fell to his knees in silence.

Shen Yan looked at the scroll in his hand on it, but he was thinking about other things in his heart, and small and subtle words and pictures passed through his mind.

His voice was surprisingly cold: "Check, I don't believe that Concubine Li's child will be a little frightened and gone." ”

As soon as the words fell, the young secret guard quietly disappeared.

………………

Jia Guifei Gao Chaohua was helped by the spring rain to Zhong Cui Palace, followed by Kang Tai, with a little emerald inlaid ruby gold rhombic flower on her head inserted in the temples, and the water drop red agate earrings hung gently on the side of the neck, always Gao Hua charming.

Although Concubine Li was promoted to Zhaoyi, not long after the prince died, the canonization ceremony was not held, saying that it would be made up when there was joy in the future. Concubine Jia has been in the palace for many years, how could she not know that "later" will be a long, long time later......

Concubine Li likes jewelry, Concubine Jia remembers that her palace has always been splendid, and even the steps are eager to be painted with gold and silver, and now not to mention anything else, the copper handles on the gate have fallen into a layer of dust.

As soon as the three of them stepped in, they smelled the old, as if it was the smell that had been sealed in the cellar under for a long time, and a rotten musty smell rushed up, and Chunyu waved the handkerchief in his hand in front of Jia Guifei, wanting to let the pungent smell disperse.

In fact, although the grass and trees are sparse in autumn, they are not so dilapidated.

But just look at the Eternal Night Palace.

The picture in the palace is a festive and auspicious, such a thing has never been seen in the Eternal Night Palace, and the flowers are still purple and red.

The fine products in the chrysanthemums like Yaotai Jade Phoenix, Snow Sea, Jade Pot Spring, Eagle Peak Jixue, Qiu Yan, Jade Dragon Troubled Sea, Lingbo Fairy, Ten Million Golden Bells and other flowing water are sent to the Eternal Night Palace, and when they arrive here, they are some eye-catching residual flowers and dead branches, Chaohua understands in his heart that Concubine Li has lost her child, and her status is not as good as before.

Smiling in front of him, poking a knife in the back.

It is most common to worship high and low in the palace.

The autumn wind blows people, and it is even more obvious that the grass and trees here are messy, desolate and dilapidated, and I don't know how long I haven't taken care of it.

Concubine Jia twisted her willow eyebrows and said with slight disdain: "Concubine Li is too unproductive, the child is gone, she hides in this palace all day and doesn't go out, can't the people in this palace control it?" ”

Kang Tai whispered: "Concubine Li has always been vigorous, and she suddenly had a dragon fetus in her belly, and the slave saw that her eyes were about to grow to the sky. She only thinks about giving birth to a thousand noble princes, and now that the child is gone, how can she be willing? Besides, the person in this palace has not been beaten and scolded by Concubine Li, and now that he has fallen out of favor, it is good not to fall into the well. ”

Concubine Jia didn't say anything when she heard this, and seemed to be noncommittal.

Although she and Concubine Li are good friends on the face, she actually can't get used to Concubine Li's arrogant temperament in her selfish heart.

The three of them slowly walked down the corridor into the inner room.

Concubine Jia said to Kang Tai: "You are guarding outside the door." ”

"Yes."

The shadows of the branches outside are slanted, and the shadows hit this hall more and more haggard, she only wore a middle coat and sat on the bed, she lost a lot of weight, her sideburns were scattered, and her hands were tightly grasping a child's light pink cotton silk shirt.

This is what she did with her own hands, it is true for the honor and favor of the palace, and she also has some sincere expectations for this child, which mother in the world does not care about her child?

Seeing that Concubine Jia was coming, she only said lightly: "How can Niangniang be so expensive." ”

Concubine Jia was stunned for a moment, and then she was furious, and a pair of black mercury-like eyes glared: "No wonder the Holy Lord didn't come to see you, you look in the mirror yourself to see what it looks like?!" ”

Concubine Li smiled sadly: "Yes, even the saint is not here, now the palace is waiting to see my jokes." ”

Jia Guifei saw that she didn't want to feel sorry for herself, she just wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't have anything to say, so she endured it and sat on the edge of the bed: "I don't want others to see the joke, so cheer myself up." ”

Concubine Li looked at her hands attentively, and said quietly after a while: "How can you cheer up?" ”

Only then did Concubine Jia find that Concubine Li's fingers were yellow like fallen leaves outside, and her bones were stunned and exposed.

I was a little surprised in my heart, Concubine Li's two hands were usually maintained like shallots, and the roots were tender and white, and they became like this in less than two months......

Concubine Jia suppressed the heaving of her chest, and said to Concubine Li: "There are many concubines who have miscarriages, and you see that Shu Zhaorong has lost the eldest prince, and she is still liked by the saints, otherwise how can she be a little Zhaorong and I can assist in the six palaces together?" Again, it's disrespectful. Concubine Jia lowered her voice, "Didn't the queen's child be saved either?" People are still sitting very steadily on the phoenix chair. ”

A touch of light and shadow outside the window hit Concubine Li's eyes, and there was a touch of vitality in the background, not as decadent as it was.

Concubine Jia continued: "In this palace, the child is gone, and there is still love, if even this little thing is gone, it will really be trampled on." Although your father had a rather good face in the previous dynasty, the affairs of the court have changed a lot, and he may become the target of impeachment of others at some point, just look at the old thing Guan Ru. ”

With Concubine Jia's words, a hint of brilliance gradually appeared in Concubine Li's eyes.

Yes, Guan Ru was personally called the emperor by Shen Yan, and it wasn't that there was nothing left in one day, and her daughter Princess Nan'an went, and I don't know if it was because she was too sad.

Concubine Jia made persistent efforts and said: "In a few days, you can go from a prime minister to a dirty prisoner, let alone your family?" The more pampering you have in the palace, the more protection they have. ”

Concubine Li seemed to be touched, but also a little worried: "Can the concubine still get the favor like this now?" ”

Jia Guifei gently patted Li Concubine's hand, and the hollow carved enamel jade gold armor touched Li Concubine's wrist, and after the coldness, it brought a slight numbness: "Why can't you?" The saint is affectionate, just look at the saint to promote your position, as long as you want, you can soon return to favor. Saying that, Concubine Jia attached her ear to Concubine Li's ear and whispered some words.

Concubine Li's face flashed with joy: "If the concubine can return to favor, she must remember it." ”

Concubine Jia smiled and didn't take her words to heart: "I don't remember anything between sisters, I am also thirsty after saying this, go back to the palace first, if my sister needs anything, just go to me." ”

Concubine Li said: "Then send my sister off"
