Chapter 22: The Secret of the Long Letter

Jing Tian didn't pause, even if she accidentally bumped into someone, she just looked back apologetically from a distance, and hurried away.

She ran all the way to the familiar Changxin Palace, as soon as she entered the palace, there were heavy soldiers guarding her, her pace immediately slowed down, her eyes glanced at the two rows of guards, and then looked around the wall outside the Changle Palace, only to feel that the guards of Changxin Palace today are not as many as before, all of them are majestic and holding halberds and guns, I don't know what major things have happened.

She didn't care so much, passed through the heavy guards and came to the queen's palace, there were still a few soldiers wearing steel helmets and bright armor outside the hall, holding halberds solemnly guarded, she looked up, it was still the three seals of the 'Changxin Palace', and she was about to enter the stairs, but she was stopped outside by the guards crossing the halberds.

Jing Tian glanced at the two of them angrily, and was about to break in, "I want to see the queen." ”

The soldiers also refused to let her in, and reprimanded majestically: "The queen has a decree, don't see anyone today, get out of here quickly." ”

Looking at that posture, she couldn't get in, so she calmed down and thought carefully, why are there so many soldiers in Changxin Palace? It wasn't usually like this, she stared at Changxin Palace closely, hoping to find some useful clues.

She was thinking about these things at the bottom of the stairs, when suddenly the majestic palace door slowly opened. Jing Tian was about to go in, and was about to lift his legs, but he saw several palace people carrying a male corpse out, Jing Tian stretched his neck to look, the man was wearing a night suit, and his unkempt hair covered his face, and it could still be seen that his face was bloodstained, and there was a large pool of blood at the corners of his mouth, and his clothes were also broken, and all of them were whip marks.

Jing tilted her eyes and watched the person being carried into the distance, and her saliva couldn't stop swallowing into her throat, this was the first time she had seen such a cruel dead person since she entered the palace, and she was still carried out of the queen's palace, and she suddenly felt a little bloody and a little afraid.

"Is this what the queen did?" Looking at the dead man who had been carried away, she only repeated the voice in her heart at the moment.

She just watched as the man was carried away, and she was stunned for a long time.

Lu Hou walked to the middle of the palace, there seemed to be a kind of disdain in his eyes, a kind of anger, he originally wanted to watch the person who committed murder against him being carried away and thrown away, but he was careless and inadvertent, and saw Jing Tian holding his silk painting outside the palace, his face immediately gloomy, as if blaming Jing Tian for not coming here at this time, and not seeing today's events, but she was outside, Lu Hou walked out of the hall, passed by the two soldiers, and with a wave of his hand, the two soldiers retreated.

"What do you see?" When Empress Lu saw her stunned, she asked angrily, Empress Lu's own face was also a little pale, she had been out of the palace for the past few days and was tired and sick for the people, so her eyes looked weak and cloudy.

Jing Tian came back to his senses for a long time, and saw that Lu Hou had already walked in front of him, Jing Tian and Lu Hou's eyes met, and felt that at this moment, Lu Hou's eyes were only cold, angry, proud and disdainful.

Jing Tian didn't dare to look at it, and immediately knelt down and saluted, "Jing Tian sees the queen mother." ”

As soon as Empress Lu turned around, ignored her, and returned to the hall again, Jing Tian was silent for a long time so he had to get up and follow into the hall, and after coming in, he carefully observed whether there were any torture instruments or anything like anything in the hall, and did not find that the hall was the same as before.

"Niangniang, that person ...... just now," Jing Tian asked cautiously.

Before she finished speaking, she heard Empress Lu's slightly disgusted voice, "It's none of your business, just do what you have to do, it's not good for you to know too much." ”

Empress Lu was a little angry, and Jing Tian had to give up, not daring to ask more.

She picked up the silk painting in her hand and walked to Lu Hou's side, held the painting high, and said carefully: "Niangniang, this painting has been repaired, I don't know if it suits your liking?" ”

Only then did Empress Lu soothe her anger a little, took the painting in Jing Tian's hand, opened it slowly, and slowly, the three little deer enjoyed the river and reappeared, without the slightest trace of being torn.

Lu Hou took the painting close and far, high and low, looking back and forth, she was looking at the effect of restoration. After a long time, Empress Lu nodded with a little satisfaction, and then had a satisfied smile, "Very good, not bad, you are indeed very capable, how about rewarding you with 100 gold?" ”

Jing Tilt suddenly knelt down and begged: "Jing Tilt don't reward him, Jing Tilt is still here for Yun He Xiuyue, if you can't get used to them, can you let them do things in the Fish Algae Palace, there is no need to ask them to suffer in Yongxiang, now that the painting has been repaired, Jing Tilt is willing to make up for their mistakes with this painting." ”

Jing Tian knew that at this time, Empress Lu was experiencing an unknown event, and she must be in a bad mood, so she also said carefully, she couldn't stop saying it, if she didn't say it, the two of them would die in Yongxiang.

But I heard Empress Lu snort angrily, Empress Lu slowly moved her face closer to Jing Tian, and stared at her coldly, "What a big boldness, don't think that this palace has not condemned you several times, you dare to speak to this palace like this, do you mean that this palace intends to make things difficult for them?" ”

"No, no, no," Jing Tian hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "The slave maid is thinking, since the two of them are already in Yongxiang, it is impossible to return to Changxin Palace, can you see the credit of Jing Tian's efforts to repair this painting, and transfer them to Yuzao Palace, so that they will also be grateful to Niangniang, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people in Yuzao Palace now, I hope Niangniang will be favorable." ”

Empress Lu did not answer immediately, and paced up in the hall, at this moment, Dai Qing walked in outside the door, and Empress Lu saw Dai Qing come back, the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile appeared on his face.

Dai Qing and Empress Lu immediately made eye contact, Dai Qing nodded to her, as if to convey some news, such as what things are going well, and the two of them have a very tacit understanding.

I don't know why the two of them behaved like this, but Empress Lu obviously changed her attitude, and her words changed, "Even if the palace is willing to transfer them to the Yuzao Palace, will Mrs. Qi agree?" She wouldn't have any other ideas, would she? ”

Hearing that Empress Lu's words had improved significantly, Jing Tian hurriedly answered, "No, Mrs. Qi has always treated Jing Tian very well, she will definitely agree." ”

Empress Lu pretended to be reluctant, "Since you said so, this palace is not good to insist on, and this palace doesn't want to misunderstand that the queen is unforgiving for such a big thing, Yun He Xiuyue, you can take them away, but you have to obey the rules no matter where you are, don't you?" ”

"What the queen said is that the slaves will teach them the rules well."

"Get up, you can go." The queen lifted Jing Tian, who was kneeling on the ground.

Jing Tian was very grateful to her at the moment, and said goodbye to the queen and walked out of the hall, and couldn't wait to go to Yongxiang to pick up Yun He Xiuyue, and Empress Lu followed her out of the palace.

Empress Lu reiterated to the soldiers and guards: "Today's events are not allowed to be spread, if half a word is leaked, it will be beheaded." ”

Today's matter refers to the matter of the dead man, not Jing Tian's matter, but this is also to say to Jing Ting, she didn't want to let her know what happened in her palace, but she already knew, so she had to tell her not to say more.

She turned around again and told Jing Tian: "Today's events, you should not have seen it, if you dare to say half a word, this palace will not be merciful." His eyes suddenly changed so insidiously and coldly, Jing Tian had no choice but to respond.
