Just out of the gate of Cining Palace, I turned a corner, but I happened to meet Concubine Miaoyi walking through the door with her personal maid, and it seemed that she was about to go back to her room to worship Shengzhai.

Seeing Su Mi, Concubine Miaoyi smiled calmly and said, "You are Concubine Su, the queen and the queen mother have often heard about you recently, but today are tired, right?" ”

Su Mi hurriedly saluted and replied, "Concubine Xie cares, and the concubine is not very tired." ”

"Originally, I wanted to have a good chat with you today," Concubine Miaoyi smiled softly, "I'm afraid that Concubine Su will be too hard." ”

"To be able to accompany the concubine, Su Mi can't ask for it." Su Mi naturally couldn't refuse, so she had to smile kindly, and approached her side, Concubine Miaoyi immediately waved her hand to the maid behind her, and the palace maid immediately bowed and retreated.

The two walked along a deep path, Su Mi was slightly behind half a step behind Miaoyi, and the concubine talked about some old things along the way, and the scriptures were called Buddhism, and Su Mi was annoyed to hear it, but she couldn't show it, so she was only willing to deal with it all the way.

The two walked slowly all the way, farther and farther. Walking through a garden, and through a corridor, I turned around and found that I was about to go to the westernmost part of the harem, and the scenery in front of me was becoming more and more desolate, which was originally a place where concubines or concubines who had fallen out of favor lived, and not long after Qi Long succeeded to the throne, the harem was not sufficient, and many palaces were not inhabited, and these remote places were especially lonely.

There was no palace person around, Su Mi suddenly found that there was such a lonely place in the rich and prosperous harem of Qi in addition to the cold palace, and the surrounding environment knew at a glance that it had not been decorated by the inner prison, and it was overgrown with weeds, and even the paths in the garden had to be covered.

Seeing that the road under my feet came to an end, there was an old garden that had been abandoned for a long time. Concubine Miaoyi's footsteps stopped, and Su Mi also stopped.

Concubine Miaoyi was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It's very boring to talk to my old woman, right?" ”

"Uh," Su Mi was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is knowledgeable and has exquisite opinions, and it is a rare honor for Su Mi to listen to the concubine's teachings, why is it boring?" ”

"Hehe, that's right," Concubine Miaoyi laughed, she didn't comment on Su Mi's compliment, she looked at the empty and overgrown palace in the distance for a moment, and sighed: "In this palace, no matter how tired you are, how tired you are, no matter how impatient you are, how much you don't want to listen, you have to listen to it, and you have to put on a polite and kind look." It's really hard. Then she looked back at Su Mi and smiled meaningfully: "You did a good job, if I had been as good as you when I was young, maybe I wouldn't have fallen to this point today......"

What does she mean?! Su Mi's heart instantly sounded the alarm, did she come to test me, or ......

"The concubine is now in a noble position and enjoys wealth and glory, is there anything unhappy?" Su Mi said, although it was a kind word on the scene, what she said was not wrong, although Concubine Miaoyi has never had anything to show in terms of heirs, but now as one of the concubines in Cining Palace, whose status is second only to the Queen Mother, it can be regarded as a lifetime of glory.

"Where is there any unhappiness, at my age, what is the difference between being happy and unhappy?" Miaoyi laughed, with a bit of desolation and helplessness in her smile. "Back then, I also had the beauty of a flower and the age of water like you, but unfortunately, the years make people old. And the years in this palace are particularly urging people to grow old. ”

"The concubine is noble, the concubine is far behind, where is the old word, if Su Mi can have such a noble appearance at the age of the concubine, there is really no regret in this life." Su Mi smiled humbly and politely.

"Age?" Concubine Miaoyi smiled, and the wrinkles on her face looked even deeper, "What kind of age does Concubine Su think I am as an old woman?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this question, Su Mi was stunned, "Concubine, you have a noble demeanor and a profound bearing...... It looks like a lady in her thirties...... Su Mi looked at the white hair and deep lines in front of her, and said hesitantly.

"Thirty-something, yes, I'm not in my thirties?" Concubine Miaoyi laughed loudly, the voice was presumptuous and sad that a calm and dignified concubine should not have, she seemed to have heard the most ridiculous words in the world, she leaned back and laughed, knowing that tears flowed out, half loud, and then said to Su Mi with a bit of sarcasm: "Su Concubine has good eyesight, the mourning family has just turned thirty years old this year." But you really guessed it. ”

"Huh?!" Su Mi couldn't help but be shocked. She's only thirty?!

Su Mi's words just now were just compliments, and the woman in front of her was just a twilight old woman. Looking carefully, the outline of Concubine Miaoyi's face can vaguely see the beautiful demeanor of the past, but the temples have begun to gradually turn pale, and at first glance, it seems that she is a little older than the queen mother of Yongrong and luxury. You must know that the Queen Mother is more than ten years older than her. Su Mi remembered the appearance of her mother and stepmother when she was thirty years old, as well as the appearance of Concubine Rou, she couldn't believe that the old and haggard woman in front of her was actually at such a rich and elegant age.

Concubine Miaoyi smiled even deeper.

She already has so many wrinkles? Looking at the deep lines on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows on the old face in front of him, Su Mi suddenly couldn't help but think that his mother was still as fresh and bright as a flower blooming in the morning at this age.

"The concubine has eyes but no beads, it is the concubine who is rude." Su Mi bowed and replied respectfully.

"Hehe, you don't have anything to be rude, the mourning family also knows that their appearance is like this, sometimes, when the mourning family gets up in the morning, they can't help but worry, worry about whether they are about to die of old age." Concubine Miaoyi smiled: "If there really is such a day, it is actually not bad to think about it, at least there is no need to worry about it every day like now." ”

"Now the queen mother has a lot of trust in the concubine, although the emperor is not from you, but he is pure and respectful, well aware of filial piety, and is respectful to the concubines, where do you have anything to worry about, concubine." Su Mi said with a smile.

"Trust, of course, although I was not as smart as you at first," Concubine Miaoyi smiled, and the corners of her mouth carried a hint of mockery: "Fortunately, I learned quickly." ”

"Now I am like the palace in front of me, I can still vaguely see the prosperity and beauty of the past, but in fact it is crumbling and about to collapse." Miaoyi pointed to the palace room in front of her and said with a smile.

Su Mi followed her fingers and looked forward, it was a dilapidated palace, I am afraid that even going to the Jin Palace is not so desolate and dirty, at least there are still people living in the cold palace, so there are also people cleaning. But the palace in front of me has obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Dead branches and fallen leaves spread all over the ground, and weeds covered the palace walls. There are heavy cobwebs under the vermilion glazed tiles, and the originally smooth and bright ceramic tiles on the cloister are covered by thick layers of dust, showing no trace of the original brilliance. The silk tulle pasted on the doors and windows was already tattered, and the dirt was almost impossible to see the original color. It's just that from the delicate carvings on the remaining flower windows, it can be seen that this place was originally a rich and gorgeous building, but at this time there is only a desolation left, in a building bamboo and flower corridor vertical and horizontal space, particularly secluded and tortuous, empty and lonely.

Such a palace is naturally a terrible scenery in the eyes of the beautiful women in the harem, and I am afraid that even being a cold palace is too dirty. I don't know why no one came to tidy up some of the buildings that hinder the view. Is it because of the remoteness?

Su Mi looked at the palace room in front of him and hesitated for a moment. What does Miaoyi Taifei mean? Why do you talk about this to yourself? Is it just the ignorant nagging of an old woman, or the sudden complaint and sorrow of a lonely palace concubine? How should I deal with it?

"The concubine is not feeling well?" Su Mi asked with a concerned face, of course she could see that Miaoyi was not sick, but for this sudden indication of not knowing whether it was good or evil, she had to adopt this most ordinary and safest response.

"Hehe, what's good, what's bad, what's the difference? I'm an old woman who no one remembers, whether it's good or bad, just waiting to die. Concubine Miaoyi asked rhetorically.

Su Mi didn't answer, Miaoyi glanced at her meaningfully, and finally sighed,

"Alas, forget it, don't mention these old things anymore, now, I am an old woman who has been half-cut into the ground. What else do you mind, what else can't you see? She laughed, "You don't have to talk to me about any rules and etiquette, when you are free, you might as well come and see me, talk, and accompany me, an old woman, to relieve my boredom." She smiled lightly, "You go back first." ”

"Yes." Su Mi bowed his head and replied, full of doubt and suspicion.

Hurriedly out of Cining Palace, Mi Qing was waiting at the door of the palace anxiously, because the Queen Mother was so quiet, so when she visited, the palace people were waiting outside the palace gate, and she kept looking into the house. Finally saw Su Mi come out, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The ladies I heard just now talked about it, the master was left by the Queen Mother and her old man, I didn't expect to stay for so long." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a homely conversation, and it's boring." Su Mi smiled and said, "Let's go back." ”

Back in Caiwei Palace, it was already past lunchtime, Xiao Luzi and Mi Hong hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks in place, Su Mi had no appetite, and couldn't eat a few chopsticks and vegetarian dishes. When everyone put away the dishes and chopsticks, she thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Luzi, do you know Concubine Miaoyi?" ”

"Of course you know, isn't it the last concubine of the first emperor when he died?"

"The last concubine? Well, let's hear it. Su Mi asked with interest.

"The slave also listens to what others say, and doesn't necessarily do the real thing, the master just listens to it, but don't take it seriously." Xiao Luzi sorted out his thoughts a little and told the gossip he had heard on weekdays.

"I heard that this Miaoyi Niangniang entered the palace when the first emperor Xianqi was in the fourteenth year, and I heard that she was born in Kunzhou's poetry and book family, a wealthy and noble lord. When she first entered the palace, she was still a talented person, and she was promoted to a noble concubine in less than a year. Anyway, this Miao Concubine Niangniang was very favored at the time, and later became pregnant, and she went to the next level, and was promoted to one of the six concubines of the second grade. It's a pity, it seems that the father and brother of the family happened to commit something when they went out to Shu Kingdom, they died in battle or surrendered to the enemy, they said everything, and they couldn't remember clearly, so they knew that after hearing this bad news, Concubine Miao was very sad at the time, and because of some incidents, she had a miscarriage in a short time, and the disaster was not alone, and she was also sick because of the sad transition, and the favor was so light. ”

"Later, the concubines favored by the first emperor changed like a marquee, for example, when I was twenty years old, there was a new favorite concubine, I heard that she was born in a small family in the south, and her health was not good, but that grace, the concubines of the six palaces were left behind, but unfortunately this concubine was not a blessed life, and she passed away without a year or two of favor."

After that, I don't know why, and Concubine Miao doesn't know what means she used, it's been three or four years, and she has begun to be favored again, which makes the six palaces look sideways. Until the first emperor died in the twenty-fourth year of Xian Yu, but he was the most favored concubine in the palace in the later period of the reign of the first emperor. Especially in the last two years of the first emperor, it was really unparalleled. Hehe, there was everything in the palace at that time, and the slave had secretly heard that if the first emperor hadn't accepted this wonderful concubine, he might have been able to live for two more years. Xiao Luzi said: "In my opinion, these words are pure nonsense, how many concubines are in the harem of the first emperor, and the first emperor doesn't know how to cherish his body, even if there is no concubine, I don't know how many other flowers." ”

The lust of Emperor Qi Wu, the previous emperor of Great Qi, is famous all over the world, and the number of concubines is rare in various countries. Concubine Miao can stand out among the many beautiful flowers, and she must be a woman who is not lacking in beauty and wit.

"Anyway, in the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Xian Qi, the first emperor couldn't afford to fall ill and died soon after. This concubine doesn't know if it's a good fate, or a bad fate, alas, anyway, after the death of the first emperor, according to the precedent, she was safely and steadily named the concubine, I heard that this wonderful concubine is very respectful to serve the queen mother, so the queen mother specially made a statement to the emperor, and was named a noble concubine in accordance with the etiquette of the imperial concubine. Although there is no one in her mother's family anymore, she can now enjoy peace and wealth. ”

Enjoying the wealth? The corners of Su Mi's mouth turned up slightly, in her own opinion, this concubine is not like enjoying wealth and wealth. What did she mean by what she said today? Is it hinting at something to yourself? Those words were full of temptation and sophistication. So Su Mi couldn't get her mind right. A concubine who has no quarrel with the world, of course, will not show favor to herself for no reason, what is she for? Serving the Queen Mother is respectful, is she on the order of the Queen Mother to test herself? Or is it a spontaneous move with an ulterior purpose?

And what does it mean for her to fall together in the palace? Pregnancy after being favored, and falling out of favor after a miscarriage, this experience can often be seen in the treacherous harem. But after falling out of favor for three or four years, it is very rare to regain favor. I'm afraid that this concubine's wrist is not simple.

Forget it, no matter which one it is, I can't do anything now, a concubine without the slightest background and strength, now I can only try to be as careful as possible and live cautiously.

Su Mi pondered quietly. Just as she was distracted, she heard a commotion outside from far and near. "What's wrong?" She asked, looking up.

"Niangniang," Mi Qing lifted the curtain and entered: "It was He Yuwang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, who came in, with a lot of minions, saying that he was here to send plum blossoms to you." ”

"Well," Su Mi nodded, she told the Internal Affairs Office a few days ago that she would transfer a few plum blossoms over, the purpose of course was to quietly summon Chen Yan to her side. I didn't expect the Internal Affairs Office to act so quickly. This is the benefit of being a favorite concubine, Su Mi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Niangniang," as he was speaking, He Yuwang entered the house, bowed his head and saluted Su Mi, and then said, "Niangniang auspicious, the old slave has come to greet you." Master Su said a few days ago that he would transplant a few beautiful plum blossoms into the yard, no, today while the weather is also cool, I will send it to you. ”

Su Mi smiled and said, "There is Chief Lao He, I'll go out and have a look." ”

He Yuwang hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Mi and served him out of the warm pavilion.

The originally empty east courtyard was now filled with lush flowers. Outside, two or three small eunuchs were in a group, carrying pots of coarse ceramics the size of a water tank, and in each of them there were a few plum blossom trees, all of which were luxuriant and blooming just right. There were forty or fifty of them, and the little eunuch carried them and stood in a courtyard full of them.

He Yuwang sneered and said: "Master, these dozens of plants are specially ordered to be carefully selected by the gardener from the Tianxiang Garden, each one is a famous product, and the blooming is also prosperous, you pick one, if you like it, you will plant it in the yard, if it is not satisfactory, as long as you confess, the slave will send someone to dig it for you." ”

"Well," Su Mi responded, and stepped forward to check the patterns, and behind the inconspicuous book of flowers, stood Chen Yan who stood solemnly. His gaze was downcast, unobtrusive. Under the cover of the pink petals, the scars on the face seem to fade.

Su Mi's heart was warm. She smiled and casually pointed to a few pots of flowers, "Just these few plants, I'm good to look at." Place......" Su Mi turned his head to look at the yard, "Just plant it on the east corner for me." ”

"The master is really smart, I heard the gardeners in Tianxiangyuan say that these plants are rare famous products, what is it called, what is the fairy and what is the pearl and jade, it just matches the master, this is the famous flower with the noble......" Seeing Su Mi's selection, He Yuwang's flattering words were like flowing water. Su Mi smiled gracefully and didn't answer.

He Yuwang said in his mouth, his hands were not idle, and he immediately instructed a few little eunuchs, smashed pots and took flowers on the spot, broke the ground and opened pits, and carefully poured out the dozen plum blossoms selected by Su Mi, and moved them to the east corner of the wall according to Su Mi's instructions.

Those flowers have just been taken out of the Tianxiang Garden, in order not to hurt the roots, even the soil and mud have been moved together, at this time it is also easy to plant, as long as the pit is dug well, the plum tree can be planted. Including Chen Yan, there are a few who specialize in serving flowers and trees, guiding the characterization of flowers and branches, and keeping the roots at a distance. It's going to be over in a while.

Su Mi was thinking about how to speak, and Xiao Luzi next to him looked at it and asked curiously: "Master, who will manage these flowers in the future?" ”

"What's there to worry about, it won't be in your hands anyway." Su Mi smiled at the situation.

"The minions want to serve these flower ancestors, but I heard from Mr. He just now that they are so precious and rare, I am afraid that they are a few points more expensive than the lives of the minions, and I am afraid that they will let the minions be rudely tossed and broken, then my little life can't afford to pay for the lives of the dozen flower fairies." Xiao Luzi smiled with a hippie smile.

"That's right, since I have planted such precious flowers and trees, I also have to keep a gardener here, otherwise depending on a few of you carelessness, I'm afraid that in a few days, these flowers will be ruined." Su Mi laughed.

"What the master said is yes, you should have added a few more people here according to the custom." He Yuwang said respectfully.

Su Mi was promoted to the position of concubine, and according to the rules, he should have doubled the number of people, but Su Mi himself refused. From the matter of Imperial Physician He last time, she began to suspect that any of the people around her had leaked the news, and she had secretly tried to find a few of them, but there was no suspicion, maybe it was the rough envoy girl in the courtyard and the internal supervisor or something, those rough envoys were all arranged by the Internal Affairs Office, and there were changes from time to time, so there was no way to find them.

At this time, of course, she didn't want to let people in anymore and add variables, she was just a small talent before, and her life was not stable, but now that she has been promoted to the position of concubine, she has become a thorn in the side of I don't know how many people, and a thorn in the flesh. Once more minions are added, it is just to add trouble to herself, so when the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed, she refused on the grounds that she was in peace and did not want anyone to disturb her.

At this time, when he heard that Su Mi's palace was about to increase the number of people, several little eunuchs next to him all showed eager looks. Then Su Mi took care of a few flowers and trees in the palace, and the work was easy and decent. Why not.

"Since it's to take care of flowers and plants, it's better to find someone who understands these, by the way, I think, the little eunuch who was literate and literate on the way to the night banquet in Tianxiangyuan a few days ago is not bad, isn't he just a servant of flowers and trees?" Su Mi asked, "You can come together today." ”

He Yuwang was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Su Mi was talking about, turned his head to look at Chen Yan, and hesitated slightly, "This ...... People are here, but the mother might as well pick a better one, this is only afraid of ...... "The selection of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace is required to have a neat appearance and no scars and traumas, so as not to hinder the view, especially those who serve tightly, but also to look beautiful, so that the masters of the harem are also comfortable." For example, the requirements of the Bitter Labor Division, the Flower Garden, and the Kitchen Service Bureau are more lenient in places where they have not seen their masters once or twice for many years, as long as their background is innocent and their birth is not too ugly, this Chen Yan is good, but unfortunately there are scars on his face, and it doesn't matter in those rough places, but when he enters the inner palace, he will be able to take it if he scares the master and nobles.

"It's just a rough eunuch, but it's just to take care of the flowers and trees, where can you pay so much attention?" Su Mi said lightly. "Or is Manager He valued talents and was reluctant to let them go?"

"Where, where, since the master wants it, it is his great blessing." Seeing Su Mi's insistence, He Yuwang himself would not refuse because of such a trivial matter, and hurriedly said with a smile. While turning his head, he shouted to Chen Yan, who was still tending to a plum blossom: "Didn't you hear the master's orders again?" Don't come over yet. ”

Chen Yan approached according to his words, and a few florists and eunuchs who came over with him couldn't help but sigh, looked at him with envy, and said secretly: "This kid is really lucky, originally looking at that look, it is the life of doing rough work all his life, but there is such an opportunity." It's a pity that I don't have such an opportunity. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At night, Su Mi picked up the lantern with a silver pick, and the candle flame was bright, shining on the flower sash window of the shark bead yarn.

There were only two people in the room, Chen Yan and Su Mi. Su Mi asked, "Can you leave the palace now?" ”

"Yes," Chen Yan said, in the Qi Palace, the closer to the Qianqing Palace where Qi Long lived in the center, the more strict the guards, and the closer to the periphery, the more lax the guards. Although Caiwei Hall is more lively than Tianxiangyuan, it is close to the cold palace after all, and it is located in the northeast of the harem, so the surrounding guards are very rare, with his martial arts, as long as it is night, there is no obstacle to entering and leaving.

"Well, that's good, you go and deliver me a letter." Su Mi thought for a while and said, "Just send it to Liu Quan, the richest man in the capital." Do you know where to go? ”

Chen Yan nodded, since they had infiltrated Qijing and had some understanding of the residential trends of the key people in Qijing, Liu Quan, as the richest man in the capital, was naturally also the focus of attention.

Su Mi immediately opened the bookcase, laid out the paper, picked up the pen and thought for a while, wrote a few sentences, sealed the letterhead, and handed it to Chen Yan.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Beijing, Liufu.

As one of the richest people in the capital, the mansion in front of him inevitably seems a little too shabby. Although it is also carved beams and painted buildings, Zhumen Xuanwa, but compared with the financial resources of the richest man in the capital, the scale is still a little smaller, and those wall tiles also look old.

Liu Quan relied on the sale of tea to start, and later involved in silk jewelry and other industries, but it was more than 30 years of hard work, he accumulated tens of millions of property, can be regarded as an extremely successful businessman, but unfortunately in Daqi, and even in the world, the family background is more important than anything else, in the past ten years, for the sake of business and future generations, he moved to Qijing, where the powerful gathered, especially aware of this. Liu Quan came from a humble background, just an ordinary business family, and the etiquette has long been said, "scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants", businessmen are the most despised by the people in the world, only slightly higher than the untouchables such as drama and prostitutes, and they are considered inferior among the poor families, not to mention compared with the countless wealthy families in Daqi. Moreover, he is a native of Shu, although Shu was destroyed by Great Qi as early as the time of the first emperor and incorporated into the territory of Qi, but such a background still makes the people of Qi Jing, who think they are superior, despise him even more.

During the New Year's period, Liu's Mansion was also lit up with lanterns at this time, and ceremonial flowers were hung on the door, showing a festive and lively atmosphere.

It was almost midnight, and Liu Quan had just sent off the last group of guests and entered the study.

This year's visitors are particularly numerous, not only have their daily business partners, but also many officials of the imperial court come to congratulate, usually these officials in addition to asking for gold and silver property never give a shy about themselves, even when holding their filial piety in their hands, their words and deeds naturally reveal the discrimination that a businessman from a poor family should have. But today, those officials are so enthusiastic at the table that they can't wait to call themselves brothers, and Wu Pai, the Acropolis soldier and horse division, also pretended to reveal to himself mysteriously that when the Lantern Festival is over, his wish to donate officials can be fulfilled.

In the past few years, in order to have an official and get rid of this cold background, how many silver taels have I spent! Seeing his hard-earned money go down the drain like this, of course he was also very heartbroken, just to have a good background, he endured everything, but the wish of the donor has never been realized. On the contrary, it seems that everyone in the capital knows that he Liu Quan is a fat sheep that everyone can slaughter, and there are countless people who knock on the side and ask for gold and silver. Especially after I don't know if it was the good guy who gave himself the title of the richest man in the capital, those officials were more like hungry wolves staring at a fat sheep.

But this time, he didn't even pay the filial piety fee according to the precedent, and the official who was originally responsible for handling the official ceremony for him automatically came to the door, as if he remembered overnight that he had received a great favor from him Liu Quan, and hurriedly rushed to repay him. Of course he knew why, the glory and dignity in front of him were brought by his daughter Qiyan.

Especially after hearing that her daughter was pregnant with a dragonborn, there were more people who came to flatter and stammer, and he was more smooth sailing in the business field, and few people were embarrassed, and even the official ruffians who used to go to the shop to rub oil automatically disappeared.

All of this is the credit of my daughter! Liu Quan sighed, not knowing whether this was good or bad for his daughter. Every time he thinks about it now, he regrets it a little, blaming himself for usually pampering his daughter too much, although he is a flat-headed commoner, he also knows that every step in the deep palace is terrifying, who knows what will happen tomorrow.

A few days ago, the fall of Concubine Yun added a topic to the people in the whole capital, and even affected the market, and now there are thousands of cloud brocades in his warehouse that were purchased at a high price a few days ago, and now he doesn't know where to sell them? Losing money is a certainty.

Can Qiyan's child survive and give birth safely? Sometimes I think about it, I know that I would let Qiyan call it sick, and no matter how good I bribed the internal supervisor of the draft, it would not be impossible to hide it, but I still let my daughter into the palace. Maybe he subconsciously hoped for such a creation, but when he remembered his daughter's pampered and innocent temperament on weekdays, he shook his head for a while.

When his official position comes down, he can let his wife go to the palace to visit, and when the time comes, he must let his wife talk to her daughter, restrain her arrogant temperament, and don't offend people.

While thinking, Liu Quan pushed open the door, but suddenly saw a dark figure standing quietly in the middle of the room, looking at him.

"Who?!" Liu Quan exclaimed, a thief or an assassin!

"Mr. Liu doesn't need to panic, he has no malicious intent." A crisp voice rang out in the dark room.

"You...... Are you going to ......," Liu Quan asked in fear. If it's just for money, it's easy to say.

"It's just that I came to deliver a letter to Mr. on the orders of my master." Chen Yan said calmly, raising his hand, and under the dim moonlight, an object in the shape of a letter was revealed.

Liu Quan looked at the visitor in disbelief, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take the letter. A quick glance at the letter revealed no signature or greeting.

"May I ask who is the master of the young man......" Liu Quan raised his head, only to find that the figure that was originally standing in the room had disappeared silently.

Liu Quan shuddered suddenly, and most of the wine woke up, if it weren't for the clear touch reminding him, the letterhead that still exuded a faint fragrance was really in his hand, Liu Quan would really be out of his own but because of the drunken Nan Ke dream.

He stood there for a moment, and the voice of the servant outside came in, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

"Uh...... Not...... It's okay, let's all go down and rest. Liu Quan prevaricated and drank away the slave who had just heard him shouting and ran in. He walked into the room, closed the doors and windows, and eagerly opened the letterhead, and pulled out the letterhead, which was filled with handwriting in small hairpins.

The letterhead was very simple, from beginning to end it was just a few sentences, but after reading it, Liu Quan was shocked into a cold sweat.

I couldn't help but think of the messenger who delivered the letter just now, that voice, let him feel a little awkward when he listened to it, and now that he thinks about it, it seems to be clear with a kind of sharpness, in his meager memory, only one kind of person can have such a voice. In this way, this letter must have come from the palace......

"Someone," he pondered for a moment, then called out in a loud voice, and immediately several of the little maids who served him ran in as ordered.

"What about Madame? Sleeped? ”

"No, Madame is about to rest? Just removing makeup. The maid replied.

"Well, I'll go over it." Anyway, he didn't feel sleepy, so he quickly stuffed the letterhead into his arms, turned around and went to his wife's room.
