I patted Xiao Wangshu Rouyi with relief, and I smiled lightly: "Aunt Ci was punished by Yijing to the Huanyi Bureau because she made a mistake." If I really want her life, I will drive her out of the palace. After all, she is old, and if she has no place to live, the road out of the palace is a dead end. Wang Guifei really had nothing to do with Aunt Ci's death, but who can say that Yi Jing has anything to do with Aunt Ci's death? If you really want to discuss and investigate carefully, Wang Guifei will only be more eager to cover it up than Yi Jing. ”

Holding Xiao Wangshu with him, I explained softly: "When Yijing first came to Lianghong and ended in Shu, as soon as he entered the palace, how to obtain poison, how to win over his cronies, and how to stretch his hand straight to the Huanyi Bureau located outside the palace...... All of this can be completely rejected without the need for inference. Even if Concubine Wang wants to pour dirty water on me, she will definitely not take advantage of this incident. And the queen mother and others are clear about the truth, and they will not be embarrassed by Yijing. ”

The pace gradually slowed down, and as my voice settled down, Xiao Wangshu was full of admiration: "Emperor Yijing is thoughtful, and she is really a female middle school Zhuge . Wangshu is really ...... Consider oneself inferior to another. ”

"It's all forced out of the hurry. Yi Jing is also envious of Emperor Wangshu, and there is no need to think about these troublesome trivial matters. ”

I smiled helplessly, Xiao Wangshu pursed his lips slightly apologetically, and turned sullen: "Since the Liangzi of Emperor Yijing and Wang Guifei has been married, I am afraid that the future days will only be sad." Emperor Yi Jing Chang Ji has figured out how to deal with it? ”

I know that what she is really worried about is that if I have a grudge with Wang Gushan, it will not be so easy to save Concubine Min Xian. I looked at Xiao Wangshu's helpless face, suddenly chuckled, and answered the question: "At this moment, if Yijing goes to find the queen's mother, there is a preconceived suspicion of defending himself because of the matter of the aunt." It is the third day since entering the palace, and Yijing Yili should also go to visit Concubine Xian. I wonder if Emperor Shu can introduce it on his behalf? ”

Caught off guard, Xiao Wangshu was stunned, his eyes were gloomy for a moment, and he smiled forcefully: "Yijing Chang Emperor's heart, Wangshu understands it for his mother." It's just that...... The mother concubine was confined in the cold palace, and no one could enter to visit without the edict of the emperor. Emperor Ji of Yijing Chang ......"

"Yi Jing said a lot, evoking the sadness of Emperor Wangshu." I shook her hands, thought for a moment, and smiled: "Yijing is a newcomer, and he is not very familiar with the paths of the harem of Zhongshu. Mistake...... Inadvertently walked to the cold palace. ”

Raising his eyes in surprise, Xiao Wangshu had a thin layer of tears at the bottom of his eyes. I widened the arc of my smile and whispered comfortingly: "If someone finds out and someone asks, that's the answer." If Emperor Wangshu has anything to say that Yi Jing needs to pass on, he will inform Yi Jing. At least two hours later, I also asked Emperor Shu to accompany the queen in the Yongning Palace. In the future, Yijing will find an opportunity to convey all the conversations between Yijing and Concubine Niangniang to Emperor Wangshu. ”

Seeing Xiao Wangshu reluctantly walk away, I turned around and looked at the palace behind me. The cold palace is barren and overgrown with weeds, and there is such a remote and desolate place in the harem of Liang Qin, which has always been luxurious. I lifted the hem of my skirt and walked slowly, and at the end of the faintly recognizable bluestone road, the red-brick and gold-tiled palace showed a trend of decay. There is a rattan chair in the corridor, and from the half-open window, there is a glass of water resting on the desk in the hall. Moving his gaze up along the tail of the skirt on the ground, the plain palace dress and the pale face are very compatible, and a different kind of beauty is born.

I was slightly blessed: "The long emperor Ji Yijing of the night, I have seen Concubine Min Xian." ”

"It was originally the Emperor of the Pan Ye Yi Jing Chang Emperor." Slightly surprised, Concubine Min Xian returned the gift decently. When I sat down in the hall and looked at the layout of the hall, I sincerely praised: "Virtuous Concubine Niangniang Yaxing." This palace is simple and generous, and its bearing is in its own right. Forgive Yijing to say a lot - 'Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin'. ”

"Emperor Yijing has a reputation." Concubine Min Xian was reserved and elegant to drink water, and Shi Shiran seemed to drink fragrant tea: "Being in the cold palace, you are idle every day, so you naturally need to find something to do to pass the time." ”

Compared with the gentle and friendly queen, Wang Gushan's bright and delicate, and Concubine Min Xian's self-restraint seem to be more direct to the hearts of the people. I knew that if we didn't say anything, we would really be able to sit opposite each other like this all day. At the end of the song, he is still aimless near the cold palace, seemingly unintentionally walking around, and if it takes a long time, he is afraid that there will be right and wrong. I lightly picked the corners of my lips: "Yijing is here today, one is because of the number of courtesies, and I need to meet Concubine Xian." The two are entrusted by Emperor Wangshu and are concerned about the safety of the virtuous concubine. ”

"Wangshu?" Seemingly unfazed, Concubine Min Xian didn't say much, only sighed slightly: "Thank you Emperor Yijing for your hard work." ”

I was surprised that she reacted so calmly. Even if Concubine Shu is cold and indifferent, when she hears about things related to Fanjin, she can't help but take precautions. Is Concubine Min Xian's quiet skill so far, or is the mother-daughter relationship between her and Xiao Wangshu already existing in name only?

I pursed my lips and smiled: "Although Yijing came from the night, he looked at Emperor Shu at first sight, and they were like sisters. Concubine Xian Niangniang didn't know that the day before yesterday when Yijing was in the harem of the end of Shu, when the queen was washing the dust for Yijing in Chuiyu Chuanfangtai, Shen Jieyu lost her words after drinking, and talked about the slippery fetus of the concubine, which involved a lot of old things, and was given death by the queen's decree. Wangshu Emperor Ji was therefore worried about the health of the virtuous concubine, and it was inconvenient for him to come, so he asked Yijing to come here on his behalf and care for the virtuous concubine. ”

I took out the Yingluo that Xiao Wangshu gave me from my arms, and I handed it to Concubine Min Xian. Her expression changed slightly, and Concubine Min Xian raised her eyes for a moment: "Wangshu has a pampered temperament. In the future, I will thank Emperor Yijing for his more care. ”

"It's Yijing who must be taken care of by Emperor Wangshu." I replied with a smile, looked at the sky, looked back and apologized: "The queen mother asked Yijing Shen to go to Maotong Garden to enjoy the flowers, and if you don't go at this time, I'm afraid it's too late." Thank you Concubine Xian for your hospitality this time, and Yijing retired first. ”

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Concubine Min Xian insisted on sending me out of the palace gate. After walking for a while, he saw Qu Zhong's figure standing silently. I was a little surprised to see that I appeared, and after walking for a while to confirm that there was no one around, Fang cautiously asked, "Why did the Elder Emperor Ji come out so quickly?" ”

Pacing slowly, I replied as I reflected, "Concubine Min Xian is a prudent person, and she is by no means a character who can be persuaded to return overnight. Even if she confirmed that I did have a relationship with Xiao Wangshu, she never let go of her guard. At this time, if you are in a hurry, it must be a bamboo basket to draw water, but stealing chickens will not be a loss of rice. …… Before Concubine Min Xian entered the cold palace, did she still love Xiao Wangshu? ”

Qu finally knew what I was thinking in my heart, and simply said: "The mother-daughter friendship is obvious, but the virtuous concubine has always been calm, and others seem to be a little rusty." But if you take Emperor Shu as bait, you won't be unwilling to come to Concubine Xian. There is no need to worry about the elder emperor. ”

Glancing at her, I bowed my head slightly, and wandered around until Shen was halfway along, and then returned to the Mirror Flower Palace to rest. A few days later, when they went to Yongning Palace to attend the meeting queen, or met Wang Gushan by chance, the two of them did not mention half of the matter of the aunt. And the excuse I said to Xiao Wangshu was just an assumption to prevent someone from seeing me in the cold palace, and after these days, no one mentioned it, so I neatly left it behind and abandoned this matter.

More than a month after Chinese New Year's Eve, whether it was Wang Gushan and me, or the concubines in Lianghong's harem, who were jealous of each other, they were all at peace with each other, as if they suddenly realized the truth of harmony and harmony, and they were friendly and humble as if there had never been any trouble in the world.

The façade of peace maintained on the surface could not withstand the first warm breeze of early spring, and it was completely dissipated. After looking for an opportunity to come to the Mirror Flower Palace, the exiles in the western part of the country seemed to follow their commanders to rush into the imperial capital of Zhongshu at night. At that time, it was the time of the New Year singing and dancing, and the city guards and officials had taken off their guards, and it was too late to find out, and the displaced people had already scattered and mixed in with the civilians.

When we were separated from Xiao Xianhui, we had already discussed, and as soon as the news of my return to Zhongshu came out, he led the people of the Western Wilderness to hide in the city of Zhongshu. Although the two of us have lived in Zhongshu for more than ten years, they are limited to walking within the high walls of the palace. Therefore, it was a rather sloppy decision that his invisibility would be in the long alley mentioned by his mother, and if he needed to deliver a message, he would use sugar paintings as a memory.

Last time, I went out of the palace and returned home to worship my mother, and when I came back, I was told that the house under the locust tree was still vacant. Thinking about it, Xiao Xianhui inevitably looked for it blindly, and I would definitely buy it there directly. It's just that I'm afraid that the imperial court is searching for him at the moment, and I don't know where he is now.

After thinking about this, I turned my eyes to look at Shan Guo, and smiled lightly for a moment: "I suddenly remembered that before I was out of the night, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, a palace man from Lanbufang left the palace and brought me back a sugar painting. I vaguely remember that she said that she bought it near Long Alley. I miss that smell a little. ”

"Sugar paintings in Long Alley?" Slightly puzzled, Shan Guo recalled: "Shan Guo didn't remember that there was a candy painting seller nearby?" ”

Seeing that I really had a thoughtful look, Shan Guo was busy and said: "Since the emperor wants to eat, he will go and find it." It just so happened that tomorrow the emperor ordered me to go out of the palace to check the progress of the soldiers searching for the exiles in the Western Wilderness. ”

"Thank you so much." I chuckled gratefully, a little shy: "If I really find it in the long alley, I want the master to write the word 'month'." If there is no long alley, then ......"

I looked obviously disappointed, and I took the first step to say what I wanted: "Then I will find a vacancy to leave the palace and go a few more times." This is a trivial matter, and Emperor Ji can rest assured. ”

After thanking him repeatedly, he left the Mirror Flower Palace. This time out of the palace gate, it is not seen in January. It was the end of January when I got the message again, and I was writing a letter to Huan Ke on the desk, and I was holding a candy painting outside the palace at this time to ask to see me.

"According to the will of Emperor Ji, I finally found a candy seller under the locust tree in the long alley." Shan Guo looked at me and took it with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh: "The master who sells sugar paintings is quite young, as if he is a beginner, and there is almost no business at the door." When I went to buy it, I told him to write the word 'month', and he breathed a sigh of relief and said 'finally'. ”
