030 Romance (II)

Although it was August 11, the weather gradually cooled down, but the afternoon was always extremely hot. When I walked into the temple, I felt a lot cooler.

Yuyan was born in the Li Dynasty, and her Qixiang Palace is also decorated with a particularly novelty, mostly with pure white as the base, painted with gold and color, and the mountains and rivers around the Li Dynasty are embroidered on the screen, which is beautiful and magnificent. Because she is in her own palace, Yuyan is also biased towards the dress of the Li Dynasty, and the women of the Li Dynasty advocate white, so she wears a light milky white embroidered pomegranate peacock flat gold group longevity summer clothes, and her ears are covered with gorgeous shoulder-length jade glazed gold tassel earrings, her hair is combed into a low flat bun, tied up with a garnet red ribbon, and then she is covered with a thumb-thick red gold double-headed Danzhu winged long hairpin, which hangs smoothly behind her head, and the sideburns on both sides are worn with gold and silk Tuanfu inlaid with red and green gems and Tian white jade pieces, and the head is slightly on one side, and the gold wire of the carved flowers and beads on the top is full and trembling. Floating pearls are shining.

In contrast, Ruyi is just a water and sky aquamarine silver thread embroidered robe, and a water and moon color cloud sky water will stay in the fairy skirt. The cloud temples are just some ordinary fine bead flowers, only on the side hairpin a pair of red gold silk and begonia flowers swaying, it is really not comparable to Yuyan's careful carving, and the demeanor is thousands.

Because of the fear of heat, the emperor just wore a homely cloud-blue silver thread Tuanfu Ruyi gauze robe and leaned on the couch in the warm pavilion. On the small table of red sandalwood at the bottom is a bowl of half-drunk ginseng chicken soup and a Gayageum [Gayageum: It is the head of the traditional stringed instrument of the Korean nationality, and it is a plucked instrument with a strong national color.

]。 Before Ruyi came, the emperor listened to Yuyan playing and singing the Gayageum, tasting ginseng chicken soup, and spent the afternoon in comfort.

Ruyi Fu greeted the emperor, and Yuyan also got up and solemnized her. Ruyi said politely: "Concubine Jia was only out of confinement yesterday, so it's better not to work." ”

The emperor instructed Ruyi to sit down, with a faint smile on his face: "Imperial concubine, I heard that you have often gone to Yuhua Pavilion to pray for blessings recently?" ”

Ruyi bowed and said, "Yes." Master Anji Bossang rarely entered the palace once, and the concubine wanted to pray sincerely and pray for Kangning. ”

Yuyan accompanied the emperor, gently shaking a translucent magnolia fan in her hand, and said idly: "The concubine hopes that the ninth elder brother will grow up safely, so every morning she will go to Yuhua Pavilion to ask the master to read the scriptures copied the day before, but the emperor knows that the concubine believes in Tanjunjiao, so she has not entered in person." It is said that the imperial concubine is more sincere than the concubine, so she must go in the morning and dusk, and she is very pious. She smiled and glanced at Ruyi, "Actually, it's not that the concubine is not careful enough about Brother Jiu. It's just that the concubine is a concubine, thinking that it will be inconvenient after nightfall, although the master is a monk and cultivates, he is a man after all. ”

The emperor's tone was faint, and he couldn't hear the praise or denial: "The master is the master in the end, don't worry about it." ”

Yuyan's eyes were light, and she smiled coquettishly: "Where do the concubines dare to be careful, it's just a casual remark." In the end, it is the eyes of the imperial concubine and Master Hebosan, whether it is Tibetan incense or bracelets, everything is for the imperial concubine. ”

Ruyi heard that her tone was not good, so she said: "Tibetan incense is true, yesterday Master Bossang just gave a concubine, the concubine smelled good, and wanted to leave some for the queen mother." She smiled at Yuyan, "Concubine Jia has just come out of confinement, and the news is so well-informed, it seems to be staring after me." As for the bracelet, I don't know, so I ask Concubine Jia to talk about it in detail. ”

Yu Yanfeng's eyes were fluttering, and she laughed softly: "The imperial concubine really knows how to lift weights lightly, what's so great about Tibetan incense, and if you admit it, you will admit it." She clapped her hands twice and summoned her personal maid, Zhenshu. Zhen Shu saw Ruyi, bowed respectfully, handed over a string of seven treasure bracelets to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the slave maid went to Yuhua Pavilion on the order of the little master to send scriptures and prayers for the ninth elder brother, but I saw that Master Anji Bossang and the imperial concubine behaved intimately and whispered. Master Bossan then handed over a box of Tibetan incense and a bronze incense burner to the imperial concubine, and personally wore the bracelet on the imperial concubine's wrist as a matter of affection. ”

When Ruyi heard this, she suddenly changed color and said: "What a slave who dares to spy on the master without authorization, since he saw the master put on a bracelet for the palace with his own eyes, and he didn't hear the words, how can he know that it is a thing of love?" Could it be that in the past, the mages in the palace blessed and gave Buddhist beads to wear, and they all became private gifts? Besides, since it is a thing of love, why is it not on the wrist of this palace, but in your hands? ”

Ruyi's temperament is like a deep pool of autumn water, if it is not a close person, it will be cold and cold, and at the same time, he will be questioned continuously, although he speaks calmly, but the cold air in the language does not make Zhenshu tremble and fear.

Yuyan's eyes were like silk, and she smiled lightly: "Why is the imperial concubine so aggressive, Zhenshu is just saying what she sees." As for the bracelet, it was the concubine who got it with this thing. She said, taking a delicate object from her sleeve.

In Yuyan's palm was a delicately folded Fang Sheng. Fang Sheng folded very delicately, folded into the pattern of daylily, originally took the meaning of "concentric double, communicate with each other". She handed Fang Sheng to the emperor to look at, the green tendons on the emperor's forehead jumped slightly, closed his eyes and said, "I have already seen it, you can show it to the imperial concubine herself." ”

Yuyan replied politely, handed Fang Sheng to Ruyi, and said with a smile: "That bracelet was picked up with such a thing outside the Imperial Concubine's Yikun Palace. The guards guarding the palace were terrified when they found out, and they didn't dare to hand it over to the imperial concubine, so they handed it over to me. Where did I go through such a thing, I didn't know what it was, and I didn't dare to take a look, so I immediately sealed it and asked the emperor to call the shots. The imperial concubine will take a look for herself first. ”

Ruyi shook off Fang Sheng, and it turned out to be a thin piece of gold-sprinkled red plum paper, because she loved plum blossoms every day, and the letterhead sent to Yikun Palace by the Internal Affairs Office was also a lot of it. Her heart was cold, and she saw that the golden red plum paper was wrapped in a few lotus seeds threaded with red silk threads, and a concentric knot of silver threads and red silk was tied down, but she saw that the note read: "Put the lotus in the sleeve, the lotus heart is completely red." Yi Lang Lang did not come, looking up at Feihong. I was worried about hurting the Sanskrit line, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city when I entered the mountain. Get a gift from the gentleman's bracelet, and know the feelings of the two. This thing is evidenced by the heart with the king, if you have a heart, tonight wait for the king in the east warm pavilion of Yikun Palace, know each other, such as come and Qing, may you have both. ”

The black handwriting inevitably burned into Ruyi's eyes. There was a shock in her mind, the first few sentences of "Xizhou Song" were originally a woman's persistent lovesickness for her lover, and there were lotus seeds and concentric knots as evidence. The latter words were originally the poetry of the sixth Dalai Lama, Cangyang Gyatso, if it was really an affair between a concubine and a lama, it was really appropriate. And what really made her feel cold and soaked in ice water was the gentle handwriting of those lines, which were clearly her own handwriting.

The emperor leaned on the couch and said slowly: "Ruyi, you have learned from your family since childhood, you are proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and the calligraphy you learned is from Mrs. Wei's hairpin flowers. There are not many concubines in the palace who are familiar with poetry and books, and no other woman has learned Wei's calligraphy, so there is no way to imitate it. If Emperor Huixian's concubine was still there, she might be able to copy it a little, but Emperor Huixian's concubine had already gone by crane, and there was no one else. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Yuyan had already spoken: "The concubine recognized the handwriting of the imperial concubine at a glance, and the emperor also recognized it." As for the bracelet, it was brought in during the day and sent out at dusk as a token to lure the assassins...... Oh, it should be the adulterer......" Yuyan covered her mouth, her voice like a thin iron piece stabbing rattling, "I lost my words and led the adulterer into the Yikun Palace to get together, who knew that he was accidentally discovered and alarmed, and when the assassin fled in a panic, he landed outside the palace wall of the Yikun Palace." ”

Ruyi handed the golden and red plum note to the emperor, and tried her best to calm down and said: "If the emperor thinks that these words were written by the concubine, then the concubine is irrefutable. Because when the concubine saw it, she would also think that these words were written by the concubine. But the concubine did not write such words, and if someone imitated it, it was very likely. ”

Yuyan glanced at Ruyi: "If you say that it is imitated, except for what you wrote with your own hands, who can be so vivid?" really promoted that person, and took the trouble to learn the handwriting of the imperial concubine. ”

How could Ruyi be willing to pay attention to her, she only looked at the emperor and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please believe in the concubine, the concubine has not done anything to betray the emperor." ”

The emperor turned his face away, and slowly touched the dense embroidery patterns on the cuffs, as if his infinite mind was like a fine pattern: "Imperial concubine, what were you doing when the assassin arrived?" ”

Ruyi said: "The concubine is applying powder to prepare for sleep, and there is a heart to prove it." ”

The emperor nodded, looked at Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, you went to ask Yuhua Pavilion, what was Anji Bosang doing at that time?" ”

Yuyan was slightly proud: "The concubine asked, Anji Bosang claimed to be in retreat, locked himself on the second floor of Yuhua Pavilion, and did not allow monks to enter or leave. And with Anji Bosang's cultivation, it is not difficult to jump from the second floor at all. ”

"I know." The emperor's nose opened slightly, and his breathing was slightly heavy, "Imperial Concubine, you will sleep peacefully after bathing and applying powder, and the assassin has also calculated the right time to come." During the day, Zhenshu saw Anji Bosan give you a bracelet, and at night there was an assassin who went to Yikun Palace at night. And some guards saw that the assassin was wearing a red robe, and the lama's robe was red, and the verses on the letterhead were too coincidental. Imperial Concubine, you tell me, what else can I explain to myself about this other than coincidence? ”

Ruyi could hear that although the emperor's tone was plain, the awe-inspiring meaning in his words was like a thin blade scraped against the flesh, forcing a cold sweat to drip. Ruyi looked at the emperor, and the fear and panic in her eyes gradually receded, leaving only one deep disappointment after another: "Does the emperor not believe in his concubines?" Since it was a concubine who fornicated with a monk, why didn't he tell the palace people, and the first to find out that the assassin shouted was actually the eunuch Sanbao, who was in charge of the concubine's palace? ”

Yuyan sneered beside her: "How can everyone know about cheating? Nature is very secretive. If there is an ignorant person who cries out, there is. Since the death of Empress Xiaoxian, the emperor rarely comes to the six palaces to walk around, and the imperial concubine is so enthusiastic that she can't bear to be lonely! ”

The emperor stared at the letterhead, and his eyes wanted to erupt with fire: "I don't believe in anything, only in ironclad evidence." ”

Yuyan said: "Your Majesty, since the letterhead involves the imperial concubine's personal maid, it is better to take the heart to the Shen Criminal Division for interrogation to understand." ”

Ruyi's expression changed greatly, and she said hurriedly: "The Prudent Criminal Division is known for its punishment, how can you take your heart to such a place?" ”

Yuyan smiled and glanced at Ruyi: "It's almost the emperor's birthday festival, I thought that the imperial concubine went in and out of the Yuhua Pavilion to pray for the emperor's longevity, but I didn't know to pray for this strange news." The emperor received such a congratulatory gift from the imperial concubine on this Halloween Day, which is really heartbreaking! ”

The emperor was cold for a long time, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, and he slowly spit out a word: "Check!" ”

Ruyi didn't know how she got out of Qixiang Palace. The heat outside is vast, flowing on the golden roof of the Forbidden City, steaming with a scorching breath, the heat is like a sticky transparent spider web, dead on one's body, dense and difficult to move. She had been in the temple for a long time, but she felt that her knees were sore, her hands and feet were cold, and her heart was full of disgust and trouble. She was so uncomfortable that she was suddenly swept away by the heat, and she felt disgust in her chest, and she was about to vomit immediately.

Ling Yunche was guarding under the corridor, and when he saw Ruyi so uncomfortable, his face turned pale, and the person was also shaky, where could he still take care of the rules, he immediately stepped forward to hold her arm, and said eagerly: "What's wrong with the imperial concubine?" ”

Ruyi only felt that her whole body was weak, and the golden sunlight made her eyes dizzy, and only her arms were firmly supported by a warm force. She barely managed to compose herself, looked at him gratefully, instinctively wanted to pull out the arm he was holding, and said only in her mouth, "Thank you." ”

Li Yu followed out, and when he saw this situation, his legs were so frightened that he didn't dare to make a noise, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Ruyi for Ling Yunche, and said in a panic: "Imperial concubine Niangniang, you are safe." He whispered in concern, "It's just happened, so I don't know yet." The mother is careful about her body. He glanced behind him quietly, "Otherwise, some people would be more proud." ”

Ruyi waved her hand, supported herself, pressed her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "This palace knows." ”

Ling Yun saw Ruyi's expression, and when the dispute in the hall was loud, two or three sentences inevitably fell into his ears, and he knew that something big had happened. He was originally a guard, and he couldn't do many things, but at this moment, he saw Ruyi like a falling leaf in the wind, floating uncertainly, and somehow he gave birth to a sense of courage and said: "No matter what, the imperial concubine will be relieved first." If Weichen can do his best, he will definitely work hard. His expression was as resolute as a rock on the top of the mountain, "The imperial concubine is at ease." ”

Ruyi was disappointed, and was wronged and frightened, hearing Ling Yunche's words, although he knew that others were soft-spoken, but at this moment, he was so embarrassed, but he could hear such comforting words, and his depression was slightly diffused, but he didn't say anything, just looked at him deeply, and grabbed a little stability from his quiet eyes. It's just that she still can't help but wonder, why can't the person in the temple say such words to herself?

Li Yu glanced at Ling Yunche and immediately said, "It's the same with minions. Seeing that Ruyi was weak, he said, "Niangniang's face is not good, so the slave went to ask for a doctor, right?" ”

Li Yugang was about to summon someone, but Ruyi hurriedly stopped him and said softly: "At this time, if you say that this palace is uncomfortable, everyone will think that this palace is Qiao Zhang." Let's send this palace back first. ”

When Ruyi returned to the palace, Sanbao still took people to wait outside the palace gate, but he couldn't enter the palace to serve anymore. Ruyi glanced away, and saw that the crowd was gone, and her heart was half cold. She didn't have time to say more, so she hurriedly said: "Go find Li Yu and inform the Shen Criminal Division." ”

Seeing that Jin Zhong and Jin Bao beside the emperor accompanied Ruyi into the inner hall, Sanbao nodded hurriedly.

Ruyi still lives in Yikun Palace, accompanied by four Jingqi grandmothers from the Shen Criminal Division, all of whom are taken care of by them, and the original palace people in Yikun Palace are not allowed to enter to serve, which is like house arrest. Such a rush of mountains and rains and windy buildings, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, but it reminded her of the situation before entering the cold palace, and she was also so panicked.

Ruyi sat in the city of sorrow, and was worried about the situation of the Shen Criminal Division, so she became more and more unstable in her sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a dark cloud under my eyes, as if there were dark clouds attached to them.

On the thirteenth, the emperor's longevity festival, that is, the green yun that has been sick for several months is also in full bloom. And after Ruyi was newly crowned the imperial concubine, she should have presided over the Wanshou Festival ceremony, and at this time, she only said that the imperial concubine was ill and could not attend the feast. Yuyan was perfected, dressed in a water-red gold and silver double-flower Zhai Fengyu robe, holding Brother Jiu to accompany the emperor, with infinite scenery.

The assassination of Yikun Palace has long been rumored in the palace, and the concubines have also discussed it in private. Because it is also strange that the monks of the Yuhua Pavilion who worshiped the Buddha sincerely by the concubines earlier were also locked in the pavilion. In this way, the rumors are boiling, making people unconsciously speculate that Ruyi's sudden snub is related to Master Yuhua Pavilion, and gradually the theory of fornication spreads, and Hailan is so anxious that she wants to go to Yikun Palace to see Ruyi several times, but she is not allowed to enter. The emperor didn't even see a single one. Even the favored Yihuan asked the imperial concubine, but the emperor didn't say a word. At the end, looking at the excitement of the Halloween Festival, the emperor smiled with Yuyan as usual, or the queen mother said: "This is really a fire cooking oil, a flower cluster, all for others to make wedding clothes." ”

That night, the emperor did not stay in anyone's palace, but only wanted to stay alone in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts. The Queen Mother knew the emperor's thoughts, so she said: "Empress Xiaoxian just died, and no one is quiet with you on the Halloween, so it's better to be quiet with her and leave a memory." ”

The emperor said gloomily, "Yes." In previous years, her son's Halloween was accompanied by Empress Xiaoxian, but now that she is gone, her son still hopes that she will know her dreams and be able to meet each other in her dreams. ”

The Queen Mother straightened the jade Xichi hairpin on her hair bun, and said in a harmonious voice: "The mourning family knows what the emperor is worried about." However, the mage of Yuhua Pavilion is a cultivator in the end, and before many things are asked, it is really not appropriate to make a big alarm, so as not to disturb the respect of the Buddha. If there is anything, it is only one of them who is not cultivating enough and does not do everyone's business. ”

Yuyan said with a smile on the side: "The concubines know, so all the supplies in Yuhua Pavilion are the same as before, just to prevent suspicions, and the concubines are not allowed to enter and leave the palace again." The only people who were detained and tortured by the Criminal Division were Xin Xin and a few guards who picked up evidence that night. ”

The Queen Mother was slightly displeased, the smile on her face faded a little, and she only looked at the emperor and said, "Now the people around the emperor are more and more capable." When the mourning family talked to the emperor, they dared to interject themselves. ”

Yuyan was a little embarrassed at the moment, and the emperor hurriedly said: "Concubine Jia was born in the Li Dynasty, and many things are not so restrained, and she is more reckless. ”

The Queen Mother let out a faint "oh", and her eyes were flat: "It turns out that he was born in the Li Dynasty, which is not quite the same as us." It's not my race. Ignoring Yuyan's embarrassment, she beckoned to Yongying and said, "Concubine Chun, quickly bring Yongying up to show the mourning family." The baby in my arms always smells of milk, which is not as cute as Yongying's tiger brain. ”

In this way, Yuyan didn't dare to be in front of the Queen Mother anymore, and under the pretext of going to see the "Liuxia Dance" arranged by herself, she stepped aside.

When Yuyan reappeared, she was wearing a snow-white and red ink-splashed beautiful dance dress under the bright lights, dressed as a woman of the Li Dynasty, and danced with a group of dancers in colorful dresses wearing long drums on their waists, and danced in a variety of styles. Although it has only been out of confinement for a short time, Yuyan's figure has been slimmed and fitted, and she has regained her pre-production softness.

She only had gold and silver tassels on her bun, and her hair was tied with a crimson silk satin ribbon embroidered with moire. If you don't look closely, you mistakenly think it's the shadow of the clouds under the moon. The wind blew the streamers on her clothes, fluttering softly, like a light mist around her body. The tassels and beads trembled, and she danced softly, accompanied by the crisp sound of drums, like this quiet moonlight flowing to her side.

The feast was at the height of the excitement, the drums and light songs sounded in the ears, and it was Yuyan who danced the Li Dynasty style dance with a long drum, which naturally won thunderous cheers. It seems that she is still the Fanghua girl who paid tribute to the Li Dynasty that year, and with a song and dance of the Li Dynasty, she easily met the emperor's young eyes.

Taking advantage of the free time of singing and dancing, Hailan coaxed Yongqi to laugh in front of the emperor, but the emperor was just as usual, and did not mind that Yongqi was raised by Ruyi and snubbed. The emperor also hugged Yong Jin on his lap and teased him for a while, and said a few words to Yonghuang and Yongzhang, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness between father and son in the previous few months.

Such a flower is full moon, such as Yi is present or not, and it has become a trivial matter.

In the middle of the moon, the queen mother left the table, the silk and bamboo fell, the song and dance became a broken red shadow, and the drunkenness of the sweet wine mixed with the fat powder stirred up the perfection of almost fifteen months.

The emperor left Chonghua Palace half-drunk, Li Yu was tightly supported next to the sedan chair, although the concubines were anxious, but because of the emperor's instructions, they didn't dare to follow, so they had to watch with their eyes.

Yuyan saw that the emperor was far away, so she squinted at Hailan with charming eyes: "Congratulations to Concubine Yu, I haven't slept for so many years, even if I am sent to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I will only be carried out in a quarter of an hour. ”

Hailan tilted her head slightly, and the broken jade beads between her hair buns flashed a little warm brilliance. She bowed her head humbly: "What the noble concubine said is true, the emperor cares about the old love and loves the son deeply, which is naturally my creation and the creation of the sisters in the palace." ”

Yuyan stretched out her hand and teased Yongqi's chin, although Yongqi didn't like it, she only looked at Hailan, not daring to show half of her expression. Yuyan shook her head pityingly and sneered: "It's a pity that such a handsome child, his mother is not favored, and his adoptive mother is a lewd embryo, no one can teach her well, poor baba." ”

Yongqi's eyebrows flashed a trace of indignation, and he quickly bowed respectfully: "Eniang, even if you are not favored, your sons will be filial to you." His voice raised a few degrees, and his eyes only looked at Hailan, but he said that Yuyan and everyone heard it, "Eniang, Erchen's adoptive mother, the imperial concubine, is not an obscene embryo. As long as Huang Ama doesn't say that she is for a day, no one can cross Huang Ama to say this, otherwise all good and filial piety come first, and the ears of the sons and daughters will not be able to hear such words, and the ears of Huang Ama will not be able to hear such words. ”

Sensing her son's dexterity, Hylan touched his forehead and smiled approvingly.

Yuyan's smile was cold, like a frost flower slightly condensed. She flicked the thumb-sized gold bead red treasure earrings on her earlobe: "The fifth elder brother's speech is getting stronger and stronger, is it possible that after the emperor snubbed the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother couldn't bear to jump to the emperor to make a comeback?" ”

Hailan knew that Yuyan was deliberately provoking the affection between Yongqi and the elder brothers, and she was also provoking Lu Yun's dissatisfaction, and was about to say something, Yongqi had already smiled innocently: "Jia Niangniang said that she was joking." Erchen is young, and there is a fourth brother above, even Jia Niangniang said that Erchen's Eniang is not favored, it is not as honorable as you, and Erchen does not dare to compare with the fourth brother. ”

This was said so strongly that even the gentle Hailan had to secretly praise his son's good coping.

Lu Yun looked at it and said with a smile: "Concubine Yu is the most punctual, where can I teach such a talking child." Sure enough, it is the benefit of raising under the knees of the Xian Emperor and the concubine. ”

Yongqi bowed his hand and said: "Chun Niangniang, the eldest brother and the third brother are pure filial piety, but they will be reprimanded by Huang Ama if they don't notice it for a while, otherwise where can Huang Ama see his sons and fourth brother in his eyes." And the fourth brother is older than Erchen, and he is more able to accept the knees and please the emperor Amma. ”

Since the loss of her adopted son and parent-child to the emperor, Lu Yun has always suspected that she was instigated by others, but after careful investigation, she can only be suspicious of Hailan's words. But Yongqi's performance that day was indeed as Hailan taught, and it was not like Hailan deliberately instigated. Now it seems that Yuyan, who is a fisherman, is the most likely to be arranged. Thinking like this, Lu Yun's gaze towards Yuyan gradually became unkind. Yuyan felt bad and glanced at Yongqi fiercely, but Yongqi was innocent and only obediently followed Hailan's side, without a trace of scheming.

Yuyan left in a daze, and Lu Yun also took the child back to the palace on her own. The concubines were all gone. Hailan breathed a sigh of relief, instructed Ye Xin to take Yongqi back to sleep, and asked, "Is the sobering soup ready?" ”

Ye Xin said: "It's all ready." It's just that the emperor is drunk, and the Heart Nourishing Palace naturally has a decanting soup prepared, will we do it too much? ”

Hailan smiled slightly: "What I want is to do more." ”

The moon petals seemed to be about to bloom to the extreme, and the pale silver light flowed down from behind the clouds, and occasionally the light breeze wrinkled the moon shadow, and also blew the thoughts of those who walked under the moon.

Hailan took the green mark and slowly walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw a long figure hurrying over at the corner in front of her, and took a closer look, it was Jiang Youbin.

Hailan hurriedly called him and said, "Why did Imperial Doctor Jiang come from here?" ”

After a few days of not seeing him, Jiang Youbin looked a lot haggard, his eyes were red, the corners of his mouth were dry, and his cheeks were thin and sunken, as if he had changed at first glance.

"Weichen, Weichen......" Jiang Youbin was a little choked up before he finished speaking.

Hailan pondered for a moment and looked in the direction he came from: "You went to the Punishment Division?" ”

Jiang Youbin turned his face sideways and wiped the water marks from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "Weichen can't enter the Shen Criminal Division at all, so he asked a lot of connections to inquire." I only knew that Xin Xin began to be tortured as soon as he was sent in, and Concubine Jia Guifei instructed her to confess, so the Shen Criminal Division was also very ruthless. Now...... I don't know what has become of it. ”

Hailan said sentimentally: "If you are worried, why not worry about this palace...... The seventy-two punishments of the Prudent Criminal Division really have to be passed down again, but I am afraid that people will become crippled. In the past few days, the palace also wanted people to inquire, but the emperor ignored it, and the Prudential Department was so strict that the water could not be poured in, and the palace could not speak at all. is the imperial concubine, although the palace can't see her, I also know that she must be anxious for the sake of worry. ”

Jiang Youbin bowed his head again and again: "The imperial concubine has a heart." Concubine Yu has a heart. ”

Hailan's face was full of worry: "This palace is trying to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see the emperor, if you can speak, this palace will definitely persuade you." ”

Jiang Youbin arched his hand and said: "Concubine Yu's kindness, Wei Chen is grateful to him. ”

Hailan was a little cold: "It doesn't matter if you remember your kindness, what matters is to remember who hurt you." ”

Jiang Youbin said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

Hailan walked outside the Heart Nourishing Palace, but saw the white moonlight as frost as a floating sparkling, and under the empty steps, there was a slender figure, kneeling in the bright light, upright and unmoving.

The little eunuch who greeted him entered the protection and said: "Concubine Yu Niangniang Wan'an." It's late at night, why are you here? ”

Hailanu said, "This is ......"

Jin Bao hurriedly said: "Back to Concubine Yu's words, this is Concubine Ling's mother." ”

Hyland was surprised: "What is she doing kneeling here?" Is the emperor still drunk? ”

Jin Bao hurriedly said: "Gonggong Li is waiting for the emperor to sober up, but fortunately, the emperor is not very drunk." Before the emperor came back, Concubine Ling was kneeling here. When the emperor got off the sedan chair, he saw her and asked why she knelt here. The concubine was in tears, saying that the imperial concubine was pitiful, and asked the emperor to take a clear look. ”

Although Hailan was suspicious, she still hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Jin Bao said: "The emperor is a little drunk, what else can he say, just talk about other people's affairs and let Concubine Ling not take care of it." Ling Concubine Niangniang still begged, and the emperor knelt here with her. No, they've been kneeling for almost half an hour. ”

Hailan handed the decanting soup to Jinbao: "The decanting soup prepared by the palace, whether the emperor drinks it or not, is a little bit of the palace's heart." I'm sorry for you to send it in......"

Jin Bao reluctantly took it, and was a little embarrassed: "But Concubine Yu, forgive the slave for saying more." This sobering soup is available in the Heart Nourishing Palace. ”

Hailan smiled warmly, and quietly put a silver ticket into the hands of Jinbao: "The heart of this palace, it doesn't matter if the emperor drinks it in his mouth or not, the important thing is that the emperor sees it." ”

Jin Bao pinched the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Okay." The little lord next to him didn't send it, Concubine Yu, you sent it alone, and the emperor would take a look at it if he didn't drink it. Wrap it up on the minion. "Irobo went in with the decanting soup in a white porcelain bottle. Hailan walked up to Yinwan, looked at her a few times, and said softly: "It's really rare, you have a time when you ignore yourself and take care of others." ”

Yan Wan's expression looked particularly calm and calm in the clear moonlight: "If nothing else, just because I am selfish, for the sake of the imperial concubine to have a face similar to mine, is it okay?" ”

Hailan said softly: "What you have done, you must have your own reasons, why do you need to convince me to believe it."
