The moon hangs high, illuminating the Buddha Hall.

The cold Cixiang Palace has been renovated with a brand new Buddhist hall two years ago, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu has stayed in the Buddhist hall all day since the day King Rui left, and has rarely left the Cixiang Palace in the past two years.

Occasionally, the emperor came to ask for peace, but he only chatted a few words coldly for a short time, and then left it aside and went straight to the Buddha.

The emperor was really helpless about this, so he could only say that the princesses and princes would often come to visit the queen mother, and several princesses of Liuyu Palace were frequent visitors to the Cixiang Palace.

It happened to be tonight, the ninth princess was sad and sad to lose her sister, and the princess was blamed for pretending to report it, and Princess Di, who was only told about the situation afterwards, saw that both sides were not very pleased, so she ran to the queen mother.

Carefully helped the Queen Mother who had participated in the Buddha up, and her words were full of distress, "The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and has spent a day chanting for Sister Zhi'er. ”

"After all, people can't be resurrected after death, and the mourning family just wants to find a virtuous queen for the emperor as soon as possible, who expected that the draft has not started, but it has cost the girl to be drafted a life." At this point, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh and regret, "In the end, the mourning family is still not thoughtful, but I don't know that Miss Zhi'er already has a sweetheart." ”

Princess Di served the Queen Mother and sat down, and said flatteringly, "The Queen Mother is serious, you are dedicated to the emperor and the country, how can you expect such an accident." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not respond, Princess Di continued, "To put it bluntly, Sister Zhi'er is a little confused and has fallen into a dead end. What a blessing it would be if she could be favored by the emperor, but she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river for a small guard. ”

"Princess Di." Although the Queen Mother lives in the Cixiang Palace, the rights and wrongs of the harem are still more or less heard, especially the particularly lively Liuyu Palace, since the day Ye Xun entered the palace, the rumors of size are endless.

And the little grievances between Princess Di and Zhi'er, the Queen Mother was not too relieved at first, and it was inevitable that there would be more quarrels when there were more women in the harem, but when I heard Princess Di's words today, I felt very harsh.

"That being said, it's a life, after all. How can you despise the lives of others with dignity and humility? ”

Princess Di hurriedly changed her words, "What the Queen Mother taught her a lesson is that the concubine has lost her words. ”

"It doesn't matter if you lose your words, as long as you don't lose your heart." The Queen Mother added a sentence earnestly.

Princess Di's stiff face barely squeezed out a smile, "What the Queen Mother said is that the concubine should remember your teachings." ”

"Okay, you go back and inform the Ninth Princess, and interrogate Ye Xun with the mourning family tomorrow."

At this time, Ye Xun, who was still immersed in deep self-blame, was still curled up in a corner, not eating or drinking, and only caring about himself chanting words in his mouth.

Seeing Ye Xun's stunned appearance, the prison guard who delivered the meal just shouted symbolically, don't be stunned, eat, hurry up and chew something more while your head is still on your neck.

Ye Xun was indifferent, always in a motionless posture, and when the guards saw that they couldn't wait for a response, they simply lost their patience, and even saved the food and delivered it.

After the footsteps faded away, everything around was calm, Ye Xun was held in a separate cell, if no one came in or out to speak, then the surroundings would become very quiet.

After the sound of chains colliding, a figure suddenly flashed to Ye Xun's side, and the expressionless face was from Lian Zhi.

Looking at such a decadent Ye Xun, Lian Zhi couldn't help frowning, squatted down to look at her, and said softly after a while, "If you don't want anything to happen to Bai Jun, you have to let yourself live well, if you continue to let yourself be confused and decadent, then none of the people you want to protect can be saved." ”

Ye Xun rolled his eyes, his gaze fell on Lian Shi's body, and asked lightly, "Did the Ninth Prince send you?" ”

"I came on my own." Even the most answered was crisp and neat.

"Why are you telling me this?" Ye Xun knew that the Ninth Prince would never let her go, because there was still some value for him to use.

Lian Zhi stood up and was silent for a moment before replying, "Because I don't want the prince's plan to stall because of you, and eventually lead to a failure, so you have to cheer up." Mu Zhi'er's death has nothing to do with you at all, and you can't afford to take your own life for this. ”

"Huh...... Heh......" Ye Xun couldn't stop sneering, "To put it bluntly, Lian is the most, you don't want to lose your support and lose the motivation to live." Ye Xun slowly stood up, walked around to Lian Zhi, stood on tiptoe and pulled down his collar, and spoke lightly, "Don't look at you who don't care about anything on the surface, in fact, you actually attach more importance to the safety and situation of your master than anyone else, because you know in your heart that if your master loses power, then your status as a slave in the palace will be even more difficult." ”

Lian moved his eyebrows, although there was a little surprise on his face, he quickly regained his composure, put aside Ye Xun's hand, stepped out of the prison door, and only said after it was locked, "Maybe you are half right, the most important purpose of my visit is to tell you that the Queen Mother will personally interrogate you tomorrow, and how to hide the past in Baijun depends on how you behave." ”

What do you mean by that? Even the most you give me back! Hearing the word Bai Jun, Ye Xun's originally weak body seemed to be full of strength in an instant, and he shouted at Lian Da, who only cared about his own departure.

Mu Zhi'er's matter actually alarmed the Queen Mother? It seems that the ninth princess really mistakenly thinks that she is her sister's lover, and she really hates him, but in the face of the pain of losing her family, it is understandable to do so.

However, what Ye Xun couldn't figure out was why Mu Zhi'er only thought of committing suicide by throwing herself into the river when she was found out and was about to be caught, instead of thinking of another way to find a solution?

At this point, Ye Xun really couldn't think clearly, and he couldn't figure it out.

Not long after he even went out, the guard who had just delivered the meal turned back, his expression was helpless, and he was full of fear, and carefully took out a bowl of eight-treasure rice from the food box, "Ye Xun, someone asked me to send you a delicious meal, I put it here for you, whether you like to eat or not is your business, in short, you have to make it clear, I will send it to you." ”

After finishing finishing packing up his things, he turned around in two steps and was not at ease, and finally Ye Xun couldn't stand his gaze, and responded perfunctorily, "Okay, even if I do a starving ghost, it's none of your business." ”

When the guard heard these words, Fang showed a little relief and left happily.

Ye Xun was very surprised by this bowl of eight-treasure rice, why did he go and return?

Picked up the rice bowl on the ground, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, the sudden sound outside made Ye Xun's hand slip, and the whole bowl was broken to the ground.

A note was revealed in the eight-treasure rice spread on the ground, Ye Xun opened the rice pile with curiosity and took out the letter paper and opened it, and the contents of it jumped in front of him.

In just a few words, Ye Xun's heart turned a thousand times, suddenly, annoyed, and blamed himself...... All of them came to mind.

The Mu family has ruled out suspicion, restored their daughter's body, participated in the draft, and found out Pang Tian's daughter. Camp word.

How did she forget? Why did she forget the purpose of her coming to Beijing?

On the same day, he promised to rush to the imperial capital disguised as a man, and he came with promises and tasks. But he was indulged in the safety of his old acquaintance, and pushed himself step by step to the point of no return.

If she is only trying to pay for Mu Zhi'er's life now, then she will break her promise and not say anything, and she will not do anything she wants to do.

Immediately made up his mind and thought of a perfect strategy, first, he could get out for himself and let Ye Xun, who did not exist, disappear from this world, and second, he would not involve Bai Jun, so that the matter would not be resolved.

"Queen Mother, you are also tired, rest early, the concubine can't bear to continue to disturb your rest, so she will retire first." Princess Di, who was originally beating the back of the Queen Mother, saw that it was not early, on the one hand, she didn't want to miss the good show that might be staged in Liuyu Palace, and on the other hand, she also wanted to go and see Ye Xun.

Thinking that the Ninth Princess and the Princess Shi had also gone, how could she be willing to miss such an opportunity to catch some clues.

The Queen Mother, who was pretending to sleep, woke up slightly, and responded very lightly, "It's time to go back, come to someone, and send Princess Di out." ”

Princess Di pretended to be flattered and saluted, "The concubine retired." ”

Out of the Cixiang Palace, Princess Di turned her head and asked the palace maid who saw her off, "Concubine Ben asked you, when the ninth princess of the day came to the queen mother to cry, were you there?" ”

Although the palace maid didn't know the intention of Princess Di's words, she didn't dare not answer, "Back to Princess Di, the slave is here." ”

Princess Di was slightly overjoyed and continued to ask, "Then what did you hear the Ninth Princess say to the Queen Mother?" How did the Queen Mother respond? ”

When the palace maid heard these two questions, she immediately panicked, and hurriedly replied, "The slave doesn't know." ”

"Huh?!" Princess Di immediately lowered her face and said in a deep voice, "You really don't know anything? ”

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down, "Please forgive Princess Di, the Queen Mother will decree, but anyone who is on an errand in Jinghua Pavilion must only listen and not ask, only listen and not speak, only listen and not stay." If the order is violated, the penalty will be severe. ”

Princess Di was startled, as if she noticed that there were a pair of eyes watching inside, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to get up, "Okay, okay, since the queen mother has her life first, it is inconvenient for this concubine to embarrass you more, hurry up." Don't let outsiders look at it, you think that this concubine is bullying you. So that people with a heart can spread the word that there is no one in the eyes of the concubine, and teach the queen mother a lesson. ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid send Princess Di to it." The palace maid hurriedly got up from the ground.

Princess Di glanced at the Cixiang Palace, and with the entourage of her personal maidservant, she went to the cell where Ye Xun was held.

The palace maid who was frightened by Princess Di returned to the Queen Mother the same way, and stood in front of the Queen Mother respectfully.

"How?" On the surface, the Queen Mother put on a posture of not caring much, but in fact, she paid attention to it everywhere.

"The consequences are really accurate, Princess Di walked out of the gate of the Kindness Palace, and asked the Nine Princesses." The palace maid answered truthfully.

The Queen Mother stood up and sighed deeply, "Although the eleven sons of the former emperor were different and had different thoughts, after all, they all gathered in the palace, so it was not lively. Now, as soon as the emperor left, the eleven sons left behind walked and died, and the only one who still wanted to stay in the palace was Lao Jiu. ”

Xin An, the eunuch on his side, hurriedly stepped forward to help and comforted, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much about this, take care of the phoenix body." ”

Although the mourning family recites sutras and worships the Buddha every day, they still fail to achieve peace of mind. The emperor has not yet married a wife, and the three princesses of Lao Jiu are quarreling and fighting constantly, and now there is even a incident of Mu Zhi'er jumping into the river, as the master of the harem, how can the mourning family not be worried. ”

"Does the Queen Mother want to use Ye Xun as an opportunity to promote these two things with one stone?"

"I hope that the mourning family can be like this, so that the mourning family can also return to the harem wholeheartedly and safely."
