After Chang Xuan and Xu Zhiyuan left, Chang'an quietly brought cold smoke into the inner hall. Chang'an rolled his eyes, and saw a little smile on Hanyan's lips, so he smiled and said, "Hanyan, you tell this palace carefully, are you still satisfied with the matchmaking made by Changxuan?" ”

Han Yan's face turned red, and his eyes were bright, "The slave and maid all listen to the master." ”

Chang An couldn't help but smile, "Normally, you can listen to me about anything, but this one, you have the final say." ”

As he spoke, Chang'an shook Han Yan's hand, and his tone became more and more gentle, "This Xu Zhiyuan, although he is only a county lieutenant, is not a big official position. But fortunately, he is of good character and is not afraid of not having a bright future. Besides, he doesn't have a wife, so it's not a grievance if you marry him. ”

Han Yan's eyes were sour, and he almost wanted to cry, "The master treats the slave and maid so well, and the slave and maid really don't know how to repay the master......"

"Silly girl, have you done less for this palace?" Chang'an sighed faintly, but there was a little more melancholy on his calm face, "You are the palace maid in charge of the middle palace, it stands to reason that you could have married better, and the palace originally thought that it would have pointed you to a first-class guard with a face in front of the palace to marry." But you have been with the palace for so many years, and the palace is sinister, and you are not unaware. This family affair, on the bright side, is to wronged you, but don't worry, after you get married, this palace will definitely let Changping promote Xu Zhiyuan more, you don't have to worry. ”

Hanyan held Chang'an's hand, and there were crystal tears in the corners of his eyes, "The master thinks about everything for the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid have nothing to worry about, the slave and the maid are just afraid, and after the slave and maid leave the palace, they will not be able to serve the master......"

"When the woman gets married, do you still want to serve me for the rest of your life?" Chang'an smiled slightly, patted her hand and said, "You can marry with peace of mind, and the left and right are not far away, you can still enter the palace to visit the palace." ”

Hanyan nodded heavily, crying with joy, "Slave and maid, thank you, master." ”

The dust settled, and Han Yan and Xu Zhiyuan's family affair was set on April 10.

But on the night before Hanyan's marriage, Chang'an slept very unsteadily. It stands to reason that arranging a family affair under Hanyan can be regarded as solving a matter of concern in Chang'an. But vaguely, she had a bit of a bad premonition.

This night, she dreamed of Yun Jing.

Yun Jing walked out of the lake, looked at Chang'an with teary eyes, and muttered, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, where are you, don't you want me......"

Chang'an's tears welled up in an instant, she hugged Yun Jing hard, and comforted her gently, "The queen mother is here, she hasn't gone anywhere, Yun Jing, you are finally back, the queen mother misses you so much......"

"The Queen Mother." Yun Jing stretched out his hand and gently helped Chang'an wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he smiled slightly, and said, "I miss the queen mother so much, but it's really cold in the lake, Yun Jing shouted for a long time, but no one came, queen mother, where have you been......"

"It's the queen mother who is bad, it's the queen mother who is not good...... Chang'an's tears can't stop surging down, "It's the queen mother who didn't protect you well, I'm sorry Yunjing, I'm sorry for you......"

Yun Jing opened his eyes wide and looked at Chang'an with a clear gaze, "Queen Mother, I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, let's leave the palace and find a place where no one knows us, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, as long as you can come back, whatever." Chang'an couldn't stop nodding, and the strength of his hug became tighter and tighter.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Yun Jing broke free from Chang'an's embrace, turned around, and walked towards the deep lake step by step.

Chang'an's expression was almost crazy, and he hissed bitterly, "Yun Jing, Yun Jing come back soon!" It's dangerous there, come back quickly......"

Chang An wanted to step forward and grab him, but her hands and feet seemed to be bound, and she watched Yun Jing walk into the deep lake, her figure getting farther and farther away, and finally couldn't help crying.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, something is wrong!"

Chang'an was awakened from a dream, she sat up suddenly, but saw Wanxiang push open the door of the dormitory, and said stupidly, "Niangniang, cold smoke...... The cold smoke is gone......"

Chang'an's heart jumped suddenly, she tried her best to calm her mind, calmed her voice and said, "Carefully, how could it be gone?" ”

Wanxiang fell to her knees all of a sudden, crying and crying, "Tonight was supposed to be Sister Hanyan's errand, and during the fifth watch, the slave maid and sister changed shifts, and it turned out that Sister Hanyan was gone......"

"Have you been looking for it in the Smoke House?"

Wanxiang cried and bowed her head heavily, "The slave maid, the little good son, and the little dezi have already searched all the places in the palace, and they really can't find anyone, so they came to tell the queen's ......"

As soon as Chang'an heard this, he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately got up and said, "Go quickly, let everyone in the palace go out to find them, and be sure to find people in the palace!" ”

That night, when Chang'an thought about it in the future, he still felt extremely afraid.

As the sky grew brighter, Yun Jing's figure appeared in her mind again and again.

She had an extremely bad premonition in her heart.

At that time, Han Yan's body was found in Cuishan Lake.

The people who found it were two guards in Taoyao Palace.

The cause of Hanyan's death was the same as Yun Jing's, drowning.

Chang'an only felt that her whole body trembled violently, her mind was blank, and she didn't know how she got out of Taoyao Palace. I only remember that the moment she fell, she was held up by a firm force.

She raised her head and met Chu Ying's deep gaze.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chang An couldn't contain her tears, her tears were surging down, as if she couldn't bear the heavy blows again and again, "Why is this happening, why is this happening......

Chu Ying's eyes were sour, he didn't care about any rules, and hurriedly helped her, at this moment, he didn't have anything to comfort her, just silently accompanied her as he had always done.

At night, Chang'an sat in front of the couch, his expression calm as water.

She remembered a lot of things before, and remembered that when she first entered the palace, there was no personal maid by her side, so Chu Luo said, "Then call Hanyan to serve." ”

It was also at that time that Shen Changan met Hanyan for the first time.

Her smiling eyes were crooked, as if she had endless vitality, she rushed to Chang'an Fuyifu's body, and said, "The slave and maid are here to serve the master." ”

Chang An smiled slightly, took Han Yan's hand, pushed the bracelet on his hand to her wrist, and said, "This is for you." ”

Han Yan was frightened, and immediately said, "Master, this slave can't be accepted......"

"Take it." Chang'an smiled knowingly, looked at her and said, "It's a meeting gift." ”

Later, a few days later, Chang'an found that Hanyan had put the bracelet back in her makeup box when she was cleaning up her jewelry. When Chang'an asked again, Han Yan just pursed his lips and smiled, "It is the blessing of a slave to be able to serve the master, where can I ask for something from the master." ”

Chang An smiled peacefully and didn't say anything.

When she first entered the palace, Chang'an was very favored by the prince, so she didn't even give her a good look at Miaochun next to the princess, and Shui Yue next to Nanyan often muttered a few words behind her back. Han Yan was anxious and had a big temper, so Han Yan knew about this, she must have scolded back one by one, returned to the house, and said to Chang'an with a hippie smile, "Master, don't care what they say, the slaves and maids have already taught them a lesson." ”

Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was filled with wordless emotion.

Later, when she entered the palace, whenever she was the most lost and helpless, there was always cold smoke and evening incense around her. Hanyan is not as clever as evening incense and can do things, but Chang'an still made her the palace maid of Chonghua Palace. Because in Chang'an's heart, Hanyan is not only her personal maid, but also her sister in life and death.

The palace maid left the palace at the age of twenty-five, but she stayed with her until she was thirty years old. Her best years have stayed in this deep palace.

Chang'an thought that she had finally come to the end of her hardship, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was a thin life.

Thinking like this, she burst into tears, but she suddenly didn't realize that the emperor had entered the palace.

"Chang'an."

Chu Luo called her softly, and she hurriedly bent her knees to greet her, "The emperor is blessed." ”

"The queen mother Wan'an."

A clear female voice suddenly came from behind Chu Luo, Chang'an suddenly raised his head, but saw that Zhong Yuxiu had already walked in.

"I was in the Concubine Palace, and when I heard that something had happened in the Taoyao Palace, I came with Concubine Shu."

"Queen Mother, the concubine heard about it, but something happened to Hanyan, the palace maid next to Niangniang?" Yuxiu stepped forward, and her voice suddenly became a little poignant, "It's a pity, the concubine heard that she fell into the water." ”

Chang An glanced at her coldly, not affecting any expression on his face.

Seeing this, Yuxiu hurriedly came to Chang'an's side, pretending to be concerned, "The queen is really kind, and she is so sad for a palace maid." ”

Chang An glanced at her, "Hanyan is no better than others, she has been by her side in this palace for seventeen years." ”

Yuxiu's eyes rolled, and her body unconsciously leaned back, "Yes, Hanyan has been by Niangniang's side for so long, and this sudden death, Niangniang is naturally sad." However, the queen mother is also sympathetic to the palace maid, and the concubine heard that the queen mother arranged a family affair for the cold smoke girl, and tomorrow is the day of great joy, but is it true? ”

"So what?"

"It's no wonder." Yuxiu frowned, and suddenly slowed down her voice, "Maybe Hanyan didn't want to marry, so he quietly ran to the river and committed suicide." ”

"Full of nonsense!"

Chang'an's eyes were boiled red, and he stared at Zhong Yuxiu with burning eyes.

Yuxiu was startled, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "The concubine just mentioned it casually, don't be angry." ”

"You go back first." The emperor stared for a moment, quietly looking sideways, "I am here to accompany the empress." ”

Yuxiu's eyes were cold, and she didn't dare to say more, so she had to say, "The concubine retired." ”

After Zhong Yuxiu left, Chu Luo quietly shook Chang'an's hand and looked at each other with a blank gaze, "Don't be sad anymore." ”

Chang'an's eyes were faint, but he was silent.

A look of gentleness and sadness flashed on Chu Luo's face, and he said warmly, "Are you sure that Hanyan has fallen into the water?" ”

Chang'an was silently depressed, "Otherwise, is there any other possibility?" ”

Chu Luo was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "I thought that although Concubine Shu was quick to talk, what she said was not unreasonable. ”

Chang'an's mind was clouded, and his eyes suddenly widened, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Chu Luo's expression was cold, but the words that came out of his mouth were loud and sonorous, "Could it be that Han Yan didn't agree with this family business, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river?" ”
