They don't know where they have entered, the surrounding forest is dense, the sky is hidden, and they can't see the edge of the forest after walking for a long time.

Everyone was nervous, they knew that the identity of the little master they were ordered to protect was not simple, if something went wrong, everyone together would not be enough to bury him.

The climate in the south is hot and humid, and although there is no sunlight in the dense forests, it is like a steamer.

A milky white mist rose from the depths of the dense forest, and the well-informed middle-aged attendant said in horror: "It's not good, it's miasma!" ”

He panicked, after all, he had only seen this kind of record in ancient books, but it was the first time he had experienced it personally.

It turned out that they had been going around and around for a little while, the sun was about to set, and there were often all kinds of unbelievable legends in the inaccessible places of southern Xinjiang, such as the poisonous miasma that can kill if you inhale, and the enchanting and charming long-haired banshee who bewitched passers-by just to eat people's hearts raw.

When the midday sun is in full bloom, there will be no miasma.

They followed the sound of the murmuring water to the edge of a stream, and at first they saw a bright red, which looked like a figure lying on the ground.

Someone exclaimed, "What's that!" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to the place where he was pointing.

It looked like a person, hearing Xie Ziyu's movements, he laboriously propped up his upper body and slowly turned his head.

Everyone held their breath, and Xie Ziyu was no exception, because they saw a stunning face.

"Shhhh

Someone remembered the legend of the Banshee of the Jungle, and his face became more and more frightened, and his legs trembled.

Maybe the younger you are, the less likely you are to think about things in a bad way.

Xie Ziyu is sometimes terrifyingly bold.

A group of entourages watched Xie Ziyu jump off his horse and walk towards the man. That person's beauty transcends gender, and for a while he can't even tell whether it's male or female.

The man just watched Xie Ziyu walk towards him fixedly, without any movement, as if he was stunned. When Xie Ziyu walked in front of him, he laboriously said, "Help me." "The voice was so soft that it seemed to disappear at any moment.

It was a soft female voice, but her appearance was sharper and more defined than that of ordinary women, and she was very weak, as if this sentence had exhausted all the strength of her body, and after saying this, she fell down again.

Xie Ziyu was at a loss, and she didn't care about the difference between men and women, so she squatted down and shook her body: "Girl, how are you?" ”

The attendants also came around, and they all secretly scolded themselves for thinking too much, the banshee can actually be seen easily?

What's more, this master has the aura of a true dragon on his body, and no demons, monsters, or ghosts can get close to him.

Some of them had a little medical skills, so they recommended themselves to treat this girl.

When Xie Ziyu was still a half-grown teenager, he had the posture of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he was delusional that he was a big hero who punished rape and eliminated evil.

His father sent some people to him, and his mother's uncle's family also pointed out a few guards to him.

He was arrogant, thinking that no one could help him.

Until now, he is full of timidity and has no courage at all.

Especially in the face of his mother, he has no opinions, obviously the shadow of his childhood is still firmly imprinted in his heart.

Gyeongin Palace.

The weather in the first month is very cold, and it is a day with thick clouds, the sky is dark, the snow that fell a few days ago is quietly melting, and the whole palace is shrouded in a layer of cold atmosphere, even if there are dozens of palace people walking back and forth, it can not dispel the cold.

Because they barely make any sound.

Concubine Chen Shufei leaned on the beauty couch in a daze, unable to keep her spirits up, and her face was gloomy and uncertain.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, because that person has not been to Jingren Palace for a long time, Chen Shufei has even lightened her heart to dress up a lot, her face is not covered with fat powder, the faint fine lines are unobstructed, and the green silk is half pulled, mixed with a few strands of dazzling silver silk.

The little palace maids on duty all held their breath and stared, for fear that one would accidentally annoy the master.

Concubine Shu stroked her face with her left hand and muttered, "This palace is really old. "I don't know who is listening to whom, as if talking to myself.

Zizhu, who was most favored by her, half-knelt on the ground and pressed her legs for her, knowing that the word "old" was the most taboo for Concubine Shu, but she herself often mentioned it, so she had to flatter: "Niangniang, how can you think so?" If you want me to say, there is no one in the palace who can compare with you. ”

Concubine Shu was noncommittal, she was really tired of hearing these words, pursed her lips, and continued to think about her own affairs.

White smoke rises from the gilt silver potpourri burner in the corner, and the rich fragrance fills the room.

Concubine Shu took a deep breath and said lazily: "Your Majesty still stayed in Yilan Pavilion yesterday?" ”

She fiddled with a newly delivered pair of gold-cut rhombus inlaid jade grain armor without raising her head.

Zizhu's face immediately changed, and she said indignantly: "Niangniang is like a god, and that fox spirit doesn't know what method to use to make the emperor dizzy." ”

It is quite a sense of grievance for his master.

Concubine Chen Shufei gritted her teeth in anger, the two moth eyebrows were twisted together, and she said viciously: "This slut." ”

The resentment in his tone was undisguised, as if he was going to rely on words to break the woman's body into pieces.

She gritted her teeth and said, "After the matter is completed, this sleeve must not be kept." As she spoke, she clenched her fists, and her palms hurt from being poked by her fingernails.

Concubine Shu let go of her hand, put the armor on her fingers, and remembered something: "What's going on this time?" Why hasn't she come to Jingren Palace to say goodbye? Think that just because the emperor likes her, she can be lawless? She rolled her eyes, as if asking casually, "What about the queen?" She hasn't been to Kunning Palace either? ”

Zizhu lowered her head and whispered, "Yes...... That is true. ”

Concubine Shu smiled, as if she was treated the same as the queen, and she didn't feel wronged.

The queen is still like this, she is just a concubine, why is there anything to fight injustice?

"Go, send someone to call the Fourth Highness over." She casually reached out, her sharp armor reflecting the dazzling light.

She wanted to know what Ziyu was doing, and she found such a restless woman.

And how did her own brother help him, so much went wrong.

The East Fifth Palace, where the prince lives, is not far from Jingren Palace, and it doesn't take much time to come and go.

When the palace people who gave the order rushed over, Xie Ziyu had just come back to his senses from the past, and he was distracted by supporting his forehead with his hands.

"Fourth Highness, Concubine Shuniang asked you to go to Jingren Palace." The little eunuch's voice was too sharp, and he was a little uncomfortable to hear.

"Got it, you go back first, I'll be there later." Although he didn't understand what the concubine was calling at this time, the obedience he had cultivated over the years made him dare not disobey in the slightest.

Xie Ziyu put on a cloak with a big red background under the service of the palace maid, and walked towards Jingren Palace with only one cronie and attendant.

At the same time, Concubine Shu stared at her armor boredly, so bored that she wanted to pick a jade from it.

She's never used to waiting for people, which makes her irritable.

Even if it's his own son, even if it's only for a short time.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a little eunuch to come and report: "Niangniang, the Fourth Highness has arrived." ”

Concubine Shu let out a faint "um", and said without raising her head: "Call him in." ”

Xie Ziyu was full of coldness, he stood at the door, took off his cloak and handed it to the waiting little palace maid, before he stepped forward, knelt down in front of the concubine's robe, and saluted: "The son sees the concubine." ”

Concubine Shu finally raised her head and glanced at him lightly, without any expression: "Ziyu, get up and speak." ”

Xie Ziyu lowered his head, sat on the low couch beside him, and waited uneasily.

Concubine Shu waved her hand at the palace maids and eunuchs: "You all go down, I will say something considerate to the Fourth Highness." ”

"Yes."

Everyone withdrew at once, leaving only their mother and son.

It's called mother and son, but it's actually very unfamiliar.

Maybe the experience when he was a child was too unforgettable, so even now, Xie Ziyu is far more afraid of his mother than he loves.

He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would provoke his mother to be angry.

Obviously, now, he actually has nothing to fear.

Concubine Shu also stopped talking, she probably wanted Xie Ziyu to reflect on herself.

How old a person is to make such a mistake.

No one spoke for a long time, and Xie Ziyu's heart was a little more uneasy, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "I don't know what happened to the concubine calling her son?"

"Why, I can't see my son if there's nothing to do?" Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and asked, her tone sharp.

Xie Ziyu sneered: "No...... Erchen didn't dare. ”

He felt that cold sweat must be oozing from his forehead.

Concubine Shu chuckled, the lines on her face became more and more obvious, and her tone was as graceful as a girl: "What are you nervous about, come and sit, and tell me carefully, where did you find that sleeve?" ”

In fact, her voice was too old to support such a girlish tone, and so often gave goosebumps to those who listened to it, without her own knowledge.

Xie Ziyu's heart "chuckled" for a moment.

Sure enough, she asked about this anyway.

But this ...... How so?

"This ...... To tell the truth, she was met by chance on the side of the road when her son went to southern Xinjiang a few years ago...... After bringing it back, my uncle has always taken care of me, and this time she also took the initiative to bring it up. Xie Ziyu hid most of the facts and said in a slurred manner.

His answer obviously did not satisfy Concubine Shu.

"So...... You don't know where she came from? Concubine Shu's tone sank, and her eyes became obscure.

If someone who is familiar with her is here, such as Zizhu, they will know that she is already a harbinger of anger.

However, Zizhu had already been retreated by her, and there were only the two of them in the room at this time.

And Xie Ziyu didn't communicate much with his mother, and he was even more nervous at this time and didn't dare to face her, so he didn't realize it.

Concubine Shu's anger suddenly exploded, and she slapped the table hard, making a crisp sound, and her voice was even sharper: "You dare to use this kind of person of unknown origin?" ”
