Qingyan probably thought that I had this question, and replied to me with a smile, "The slave maid is originally a person in the Beihai Palace, and when she went to Feng Dagongzi's mansion, it was Feng Gongzi who saw that the slave maid's skills were good, so he let the slave maid live in his mansion for a period of time and teach him to cook pastries." ”

So it was.

She smiled and continued, "It's thanks to the craftsmanship of the slave taught by the mother that so many masters recognize the slave and the maid. ”

I thought she had become Feng Dan's woman, but I didn't want to be just like this.

I took a piece of pastry and put it in my mouth and tasted it, it was delicious.

"Qingyan's craftsmanship is really excellent, this palace hasn't done this for a long time." I complimented her, and she smiled implicitly.

"It's good that the mother doesn't dislike the pastries made by the slaves."

I smiled peacefully.

After a period of time, Qingyan would send pastries to my Zhaoyang Palace every once in a while, and chatted with me before leaving.

There were a lot of snow days this winter, and I struggled to get through it with a big belly.

In three or four months, I didn't leave the palace again, and I never saw Xiao Jingqi again.

Even if I met Nangong Ni in the palace, I didn't ask her for a word about Xiao Jingqi, and I seemed to have completely forgotten about him during this time.

The fragrant viburnum, but every day for half a month I would find fresh flowers in the dormitory, and they never reappeared.

Xiao Jingqi and I seem to have lost contact completely, he no longer comes to see me, and I don't inquire about him.

Four months passed quietly, until I was about to give birth on the first day of March in the spring of the following year.

In addition to the sound of my painful birth of a baby in Zhaoyang Palace, it is the sound of slaves and maids walking back and forth.

In several painful hours, I finally gave birth to the emperor, Tuoba Hong has been guarding me, the moment he saw the prince, he was very happy, and named the emperor "Ke'er".

When the nurse hugged Ke'er in front of me, I couldn't help but shed tears, and the chubby face was really joyful.

In the month after the emperor was born, I was completely immersed in maternal love, and I didn't seem to remember anything, even Xiao Jingqi.

It wasn't until two months after giving birth to Ke'er that news came from Gaofu that my mother had gone.

At that moment, I was stunned.

I had to go back to Gao Mansion to see off my mother, who was my real mother.

I got into the chariot in plain clothes and returned to Gaofu.

Tuoba Hong had the respectful escort accompany me at the chariot.

The moment I stepped into the Gao Mansion, the whole mansion came to kneel to greet me, even the eldest lady came to kneel to pick me up.

I walked straight into my mother's funeral hall.

My father surprised me this time, so that my mother's mourning hall was actually placed in the main hall.

Maybe my father has a trace of warm love, and he has ignored his mother for most of his life, and he has also given her a trace of respect after her death.

Or maybe it's because I'm a concubine and I know that I'll go home, so I feel comfortable. But in any case, I didn't give my father a face, and I didn't blame much.

I hadn't seen my father for some months, and he had lost a lot of weight and aged a lot.

It may be that Gao Li's death hit him too hard.

Gao Li's poisoning and death have not yet been found out at this time. Jingzhao Mansion Yin was not unconcerned, but he really couldn't find out the clues.

I've heard that my father went to Jingzhao Mansion to yell at him a few times, but it still didn't work. It seems that Yin Xingluan of Jingzhao Mansion is frightened whenever he sees his father now, afraid that he will be scolded again.

Because of comforting her father, the Empress Dowager was promoted to the official position of her eldest brother Gao Shouwen, and was promoted to patrol the history of defense, commanding the security of the capital.

Mother has already left, how should Mama Lin and Zilan, who are serving her, be settled.

When they knelt in front of me and said that they wanted me to be resettled, I asked them for their opinions, and if they wanted to stay in Gaofu, they would stay, and if they wanted to leave, I asked my father to allow them to leave.

I didn't expect them to say in unison that they wanted to leave.

Maybe it's because I've been serving my mother for a long time, and I don't have much intersection with other people in the house, so I don't want to stay.

I agreed to their request and asked Yinglin to give each of them some silver and leave after her mother's funeral.

Mama Lin and Zilan kowtowed to me several times with satisfaction.

When Zilan got up and was about to retreat, I saw her hesitantly turn around and look at me, and that look seemed to have something to say to me.

It was dark at night, and I was sitting in the main hall of my Autumn Water Residence.

Zilan's melancholy made me decisively keep her.

I was puzzled by her expression, and condensed slightly, "Zilan, do you still have something to say to this palace?" ”

She stood respectfully in front of me, slightly open but not daring to speak.

"You have something to say, but it's okay to say it, and there's no one else here."

There was no one else around me at this time except Yinglin.

Zilan took a step closer to me and whispered in front of me, "Niangniang, the slave has some words that she has never dared to say to anyone, and today when Niangniang returns home, Zilan has to mention it." ”

Seeing me looking at her, Zilan said again, "The eldest lady died of poisoning on the day of her wedding, and later Jingzhao Mansion Yin visited the mansion, and Ziyu explained some things, saying that the eldest lady had hired a killer to ambush and assassinate Niangniang on the way back to Pingcheng. Although the mother was in distress, she returned home safely.

Ziyu felt that Niangniang might have learned the truth, and she poisoned the eldest lady with resentment, and was the murderer of the eldest lady.

After Jingzhao Mansion Yin brought Ziyu back to the yamen for questioning, she just suspected that Niangniang had no actual evidence, so she put Ziyu back.

The eldest lady's case has no other clues, so it is stuck there, and the case has not been closed until now. ”

Zilan kept looking at me when she replied.

I was amazed at what she said, I had never heard it before, and no one had ever told me.

I was robbed on the way back from the old house in Longcheng, and it turned out to be Gao Li's doing. That almost killed me.

The people in the mansion must have known the truth after Gao Li's death, but no one told me, not even Brother Xian.

My face was gloomy, and my heart was very sad.

Gao Li can't tolerate me like this.

Maybe it's not that she doesn't like my mother being a slave, and I'm just a slave's daughter. Her ruthlessness is because she knows the secret that I saw her, and she saw the culprit who pushed Wang Zhen'er down the river and let Wang Zhen'er drown.

She was afraid that I would expose her, so she was afraid that I would go back to Pingcheng.

I smiled sarcastically, laughing at myself for learning her secret and shielding her, and never mentioning it.

"Niangniang, the slave has one more thing to ......" Zilan whispered again, and I came back to look at her.

"What else?" I asked, stunned.

I didn't have any expression on my face, waiting for her to say anything else.

Zilan moved her eyes, looked out the door, and then returned her gaze to me.

"The night before the eldest lady's wedding, the slave saw a figure flash outside the eldest lady's door. The slave and maid were not far away, and the figure flashed by, and the slave and maid couldn't see it very clearly. But the slave was sure that the man must have entered the eldest lady's room. ”

I was interested, and my eyes were slightly puzzled, "You said that someone entered Gao Li's room on the eve of her wedding?" ”

Zilan said with certainty, "Yes, and it must be a man." She paused and continued, "The slave was afraid that speaking out would make the eldest lady black, so she didn't dare to mention it in her heart. ”

"In the early morning of the second day, the slave and maid deliberately walked around the door of the eldest lady, and saw that the eldest lady was very good in the room, and she was very happy, waiting to get on the sedan chair, and the slave and maid no longer told anyone about it, for fear of causing trouble."

"Later, the eldest lady disappeared on the way to Xianyang Palace, and the slave didn't dare to say anything."

Zilan lowered her eyes, a little timid. It seemed that she was afraid, afraid that if she said this, she would not find out anything, and that her father would punish her for why she did not report it at that time.

I understand Zilan's heart, she is a slave, and it is not easy to ask her to die.

She didn't mention it at all afterwards, just to save her life.

Now, she can leave Gaofu and tell me this secret, but she just wants to tell me that Gao Li's death is indeed a plot by someone.

I was stunned for a long time before I looked at her and said faintly, "After you leave the house, rot this secret in your stomach, so that maybe you can still live." ”

Zilan responded to me with a shudder. I could tell that she had this secret in her heart, and she must have been troubled these days.

Yinglin beside her didn't say a word, nor did she have any emotions.

As a slave, she seemed to be doing a good job, as if she hadn't heard Zilan's words just now.

And after I retreated from Zilan, my thoughts kept wandering.

Who was the man who entered the high glass room that night?

Is that person Gao Li the night party or the murderer of Gao Li?

It's possible until the truth is revealed.

That night, I lay in the bed of Qiushuiju and fell asleep very late.

When I met my father and family again the next day, I didn't tell Zilan the secret from beginning to end. Until I returned to the palace after burying my mother, I didn't say a word.

I felt that I was a little selfish, and I didn't even want to find out the man who had entered the high glass room at night.

I actually think that Gao Li's death is what she deserves.

～～～～～～～～

It's the end of May, and the weather is warm during the day and cool at night.

In Yongle Palace, the queen was asleep, she fell into a dream, and in the dream she dreamed that because she failed to give birth to an heir, she was strongly opposed by the ministers of the court, and she was the queen, and she wanted to drive her down the throne and set up the concubine as the queen. In the middle of the night, she was awakened in a cold sweat.

Frightened, he kept shouting, "Someone! ”

Yi'er, the night watchman who was guarding her dormitory, hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Yi'er hurriedly went to heat up a bowl of soothing soup, and Feng Yueyan drank the soothing soup to calm down before slowly falling asleep.

Yi'er waited by the queen's bedside, and only left easily after seeing the queen fall asleep.

After the Yongle Palace quieted down again, someone quietly opened the window in the queen's bedroom in the dark night, and the cool breeze of the night blew into the queen's curtain, and it blew all night.

Until the next morning, before anyone noticed, someone quietly closed the window again. The queen was drowsy all morning, and no one dared to wake her up, and when she woke up, her body was hot.

Yi'er found out that the situation was wrong, and immediately asked people to announce that Imperial Doctor Liu came for treatment. After seeing it, Imperial Physician Liu said that the queen had a cold.

Hearing that the queen was sick and had a cold, Tuoba Hong suspiciously reconfirmed the phantom who came to report, "The queen is really sick?" ”

Huan'er crouched on the floor and didn't dare to look up and replied, "The slave doesn't dare to lie, Imperial Doctor Liu has already gone to see the disease." ”

Tuoba Hong looked at the palace maid and frowned, "You step down, I will go to visit the queen later." ”

After the slave retreated, Tuoba Hong put down the book in his hand, frowned slightly, and after being stunned, he smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth.
