The sun was shining today, and when she left the gate of the Punishment Department, it was already close to noon. Stepping on the stone steps step by step, touching a jade pendant and the last letter left by Qian Hui in her arms, Su Wenmei was a little sad.

It's been three or five days, and I don't know if the man named Zhou Yan is married now.

The street was lively, and the sedan chair went to the Zhou family's mansion. Su Wenmei got off the sedan chair and walked to the door of the Zhou family's mansion.

Concubine Zhen was in the sedan chair and ordered the groom to drive the sedan chair to a small alley.

Before Zhou Yan married the woman, Su Wenmei said that it was Zhou Yan's old friend, and was led into the door by the little maid, sitting in the living room and waiting.

She asked the maid to bring a cup of tea. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wenmei put the letter and the jade pendant on the table in the Zhou Yan dormitory.

Perhaps, when he saw the jade pendant, he understood everything.

Su Wenmei retired from his dormitory, and when she returned to the living room, she saw the little maid smiling and bringing her a cup of tea.

"Looking at the girl's face, she is a rich and noble person. Our son-in-law is thrifty on weekdays, and the best tea in the house is this Longjing before the rain, and I hope that the mother will not dislike it. ”

Su Wenmei smiled faintly and took a sip of tea: "Why are you the only one in your house?"

The little guy looked embarrassed: "Zhou Gongzi had some disputes with the eldest lady for the matter of getting married. So as early as a few years ago, there was already a separate portal. ”

Moreover, in order to wait for a girl from the Qian family, Zhou Gongzi has not married for more than 20 years. If you are an acquaintance of Zhou Gongzi, you can also persuade him. Childe has had a hard time over the years. ”

So that's the case? Su Wenmei pondered, Qian Hui and Zhou Yan all had their own difficulties. Although the little guy said that he was only a few words, this Zhou Gongzi has been sticking to Qian Hui for many years, falling out with his family, and it is really difficult to understand the taste.

Seeing Su Wenmei pondering, the little girl looked at her suspiciously: "As an old friend of Zhou Gongzi, don't you know?"

Su Wenmei sneered: "Although I am an old acquaintance with your son-in-law, this is the first time I have come to his mansion." As she spoke, she took a sip of tea. Compared with the best in the palace, this tea is slightly inferior, but it has a different flavor.

Talking to the little girl, Su Wenmei learned that Zhou Yan was originally a scholar. Later, in order to make a living, I often went out to do some business, and now although I am not very rich, I am also rich.

Su Wenmei sat in Zhou Yan's mansion for a while, and when she saw that Zhou Yan had not come back for a long time, she shirked something and walked outside the mansion. But as soon as he got out of the courtyard, he saw Zhou Yan coming back from outside.

When he saw Su Wenmei, he was stunned: "You are ......"

Su Wenmei smiled faintly at him: "I'm a friend of a friend of yours." Originally, I thought that I would meet him and tell him about Qian Hui. But now that he is living so hard alone, he doesn't know where to start.

"Are you from the palace?" Zhou Yan looked at her and asked.

Su Wenmei didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"You must know Qian Hui! How is she? How is she now? Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Yan simply gave the thing in his hand to the little maid, took a few steps forward, and unconsciously held Su Wenmei's wrist.

Su Wenmei frowned unhappily, and Zhou Yan realized his gaffe, so he put his hand down. He continued to ask anxiously, "How is she?"

"She wishes you happiness." Su Wenmei lied: "She is very good in the palace, and now, I also hope that you will have a family and forget her."

This is probably what Qian Hui wants. Su Wenmei said, her eyes flushed unconsciously. But now, Qian Hui is no longer there. The death of the concubines in the palace has always been kept secret. Zhou Yan may never know that Qian Hui has ...... It's gone.

"Really?" Zhou Yan looked at Su Wenmei's eyes, which were full of inquiry, and suddenly turned his head and nodded solemnly: "Yes, this is her character."

"She'll always think about others." Zhou Yan said: "She has a softer temperament, and I don't know if she has been wronged in the palace."

"She's fine. You don't have to worry. In the future, treat your wife who is about to pass through the door. Su Wenmei said, turned around and walked towards the door. Her tears could no longer be held back, and once again she welled up.

Perhaps, after Qian Hui left, only she and the emperor knew that on the night Qian Hui entered the palace, she risked death and was unwilling to sleep.

At that time, the emperor was crying and begging the queen mother to take a concubine, but he didn't care much about the affairs of men and women. Maybe it was because he was contrary to the Queen Mother, so he agreed to Qian Hui. So Qian Hui was innocent until he died.

Zhou Yan looked at Su Wenmei's departing back, and felt flustered inexplicably. He and Qian Hui have missed it like this for the rest of their lives.

When Su Wenmei left the Zhou Mansion, she saw Bing'er waiting in the alley not far away.

"! You're crying again. Bing'er handed Su Wenmei a handkerchief distressedly: "Wipe it first and then go to see Concubine Zhen."

"Huh......" Su Wenmei took a long breath: "I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that he just saw the clue."

Bin'er wiped away Su Wenmei's tears before following her out of the alley.

A team of people came on, led by Cheng Ye.

He was dressed in a silver armor robe with a sword pinned to his waist. He was much darker than before in Xiling, and he also grew green stubble.

He was very happy to see Su Wenmei. However, her eyes were slightly red, and she kept hanging her head until his horse was only about ten feet away from her, and she raised her head and saw Cheng Ye on the horse.

His eyes were blazing, but she wanted to avoid suspicion, so she wanted to deliberately bypass him.

How could Cheng Ye let her leave like this? He rolled over and dismounted, and caught up with her: "When you see me, don't you wonder why I can come back?"

"I heard that the prince attacked Western Xia, and his achievements were great, congratulations!" Her tone was neither salty nor light, as if she was facing an ordinary acquaintance.

"That's how you're treating me now?" Cheng Ye asked rhetorically, and held Su Wenmei's wrist in a hurry.

Su Wenmei pulled her wrist back: "The prince is a loyal minister of the court, and the palace is the emperor's favorite concubine." Other than that, there is nothing else. So, please respect yourself. ”

After speaking, Su Wenmei politely blessed Cheng Ye and turned to leave. Cheng Ye felt the coldness of her attitude and clenched his hands into fists.

Once upon a time when he was in Kyoto, they traveled together, talked and laughed together, and her attitude was never like this! What is it for now? For the royal brother? The son of that poisonous woman?!

Cheng Ye has been pampered since he was a child, so naturally he still hasn't understood that the farther Su Wenmei is from him, the more his safety is guaranteed. He has the same half-mother as the emperor, even if he has a deep relationship with Cheng Qian, once he gets into the middle and provokes the emperor's anger, he may be killed.

Wasn't it because they were estranged that he was transferred to Western Xia this time?

Su Wenmei returned to the palace, and Cheng Qian was in the main hall to approve the folds. Su Wenmei passed by the Qianzheng Hall and returned to Mingyang Palace.

Cheng Qianzheng looked out the window and saw that Su Wenmei was dressed plainly, passing by Mingyang Palace with Bing'er, and did not enter the Qianzheng Palace, so he felt that something was wrong.

"Xiao Lizi, you go and inquire if the imperial concubine is out of the palace today."

"Yes!" Xiao Lizi replied and withdrew from the main hall.

Su Wenmei returned to Mingyang Palace, took off the plain clothes on her body, and changed into brocade clothes, only to breathe a sigh of relief. I went out today and met Cheng Ye by chance, I hope Cheng Qian won't know.

Otherwise, this cautious man really doesn't know what he thinks.

However, after only a moment, Xiao Lizi came back after some inquiry. He whispered in Cheng Gan's ear, and Cheng Qian's face immediately changed!

The news that Xiao Lizi inquired about is that the imperial concubine and the seventh prince met on the long street, the imperial concubine had red eyes, and the seventh prince grabbed the imperial concubine's wrist, and her expression did not look like an ordinary acquaintance.

Cheng Qian's hands were clenched into fists, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. This Su Wenmei, as soon as Cheng Ye came back, was he in a hurry to see him?

He placed the pen in his hand on the bookcase and went to Mingyang Palace. He would have asked where she had put his face and majesty!

In the main hall, Su Wenmei relaxed her mind, eating the grapes of Xingong in the summer, and saw Cheng Qian come in. There was no obvious expression on his face, and Su Wenmei didn't notice his change for a while.

After saluting, the palace people of Mingyang Palace handed Cheng Qian a cup of hot tea, he didn't speak, he took it silently, and almost drank it all. Cheng Qian likes to drink seven-point hot tea, and the entrance is just right.

Su Wenmei looked at him and felt a little bad in her heart.

"Your eyes are red today, as if you have cried, why?" Cheng Qian asked.

"Whenever a concubine thinks of Concubine Hui, she is always sad." Su Wenmei replied: "She is such a kind and tender person, Your Majesty, do you really believe that she did this?"

"It was her own confession, and I didn't force her." Cheng Qian's voice revealed a bit of indifference: "Do you think that I am unfair, so I have a grudge against me in my heart?"

"The concubine didn't dare. It's just that...... The concubine has a very good personal relationship with the concubine, so it is inevitable to regret it. Su Wenmei lowered her head and said. Today, Cheng Qian's indifferent attitude, she also felt it.

"Now that Concubine Hui has been buried, don't mention the past!" Cheng Qian said, stood up, and walked out of Mingyang Palace.

Su Wenmei knelt on the ground to see her off, but after Cheng Qian left, she stood in place and didn't get up for a long time. In the past, Cheng Qian always said something. I don't know what's going on today, he seems to be sulking, and he doesn't want to say it.

Could it be that he knew about her leaving the palace today?!

Cheng Qian walked out of Mingyang Palace, and waved his hand towards Xiao Lizi: "Quickly summon the Seventh Prince into the palace!"

In the main hall, Cheng Qian sat on the dragon chair, his head resting behind him, his eyes blazing, looking at Cheng Ye who came in.

"Wechen...... See the Emperor. Cheng Ye knelt down and saluted.

Cheng Qian didn't mean to let him get up. He sat down on the dragon chair and said, "You are becoming more and more capable now. I and Western Xia have reached an agreement, and the two sides are on stand, why do you disobey the will and rashly send troops?! ”
