There was no trace of emotion between the emperor's eyebrows: "According to the previous rules, people like Concubine Mei have to enter the cold palace if they don't die." The emperor's face softened slightly, "It's just that I promised the queen that there will be no cold palace in the harem, so Concubine Mei can only die." And she herself has already confessed, I have nothing to say, and I have nothing to say if I want to come to the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and she patrolled the emperor's face. After a moment, the Queen Mother said with a cold look: "Since the emperor has made up his mind, the mourning family has nothing to say." Just think that Concubine Mei is to blame and is not worthy of the emperor's favor. Early execution is sufficient. She shook her head and said, "The feng shui of Jingyang Palace is really bad, in the past, Concubine Yi died, and Concubine Qing was so unlucky." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and got up: "Fujia, accompany the mourning family back to the palace." ”

Ruyi saw the queen mother leaving, so she sat down beside the emperor: "Don't be too sad, the emperor. ”

The emperor really didn't look very sad, but he was bored: "I'm fine. ”

Ruyi said softly: "Then, what does the emperor plan to do with Concubine Mei?" ”

The emperor obviously didn't want to mention Concubine Mei more, so he said briefly: "What else can I do?" It's just a glass of wine. ”

Ruyi bowed her head and said, "The concubine understands." The concubine immediately ordered someone to do it. She thought about it, "It's just that if it's too late today, the emperor will be angry again, and he will allow Concubine Mei to live until tomorrow." lest anything stir the outside and spread unpleasant things. ”

The emperor reluctantly bowed: "It's okay." Leave it all to the Queen, I don't want to hear anything about this person anymore. ”

Ruyi Wanshun agreed, and knew that the emperor didn't want anyone to accompany him at the moment, so he instructed Li Yu to accompany the emperor back to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Just out of Jingyang Palace, Rong Pei said curiously: "Queen Mother, Concubine Mei has committed such a big thing, she will definitely die." Is there any turning point if we delay for a day? ”

"If there is no turnaround, Concubine Mei will definitely die." Ruyi sighed lightly, "If you commit such an unreasonable thing with no beginning and no end, there is only one way to die." It's just that there are too many people in the palace who have died in vain, and although the palace can't stop it, she has to do something for her, and she has a long-unfinished wish. ”

Ruyi looked at the distant sky, and the dim color was like a heavy lead lump pressed down. She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Ask Sanbao to send someone out and tell Xinxin to do something for the palace." ”

On the second day, he hurried into the palace early in the morning. Ruyi Zheng instructed Sanbao to prepare the wine, and when he saw his heart, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but said lightly: "The matter is done?" ”

He hurriedly said, "Everything is all right." Niangniang ordered to come out yesterday, and the slave maid prepared the sacrifice and ingots candles overnight and went to the mass grave, but the years were too long, and the place was not easy to find. The mother was still careful, and told Sanbao to find the person who informed the slave and maid, and it was the person who passed by back then, so she found it. The slave maid rushed to the time before the son and brought Mr. Feng Shui to find a treasure to bury him, and did a ritual, hoping that he would ...... You can be at peace underground. ”

Ruyi's eyebrows relaxed, and she said peacefully: "Although this palace has only seen that child once, I am uneasy in the end. Although this is taboo now, it is more reassuring to do it. You quietly go to Concubine Mei's palace, tell her about it, and wait for the palace to send someone to send wine, so that she can go on the road with peace of mind. ”

I promised to go, but when I had a stick of incense, I hurriedly came back and said: "Queen Mother, the little master of the concubine knows that she will die, so she begs to see her mother before she dies." ”

At that time, Ruyi was reclining under the window, carefully looking at the bookkeeping of the Internal Affairs Office. Hearing this, her half-drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't raise them, only asked lightly: "The matter is already over, this palace has fulfilled her wish that no one dares to help her, is there anything else she has to say?" ”

He groaned in his heart and said: "The little master of Concubine Mei only wants to see Niangniang, but I am afraid that I know that I am leaving, so I have something to say." She begged again, "Queen Mother, the slave and maid look at the little master of the concubine and feel pitiful, you can let her go back." She just wanted to meet her mother and say a few words before leaving. She's going to die, sis......"

Ruyi thought that she had been in the palace with Concubine Mei for many years, and she was worried and bitter, so she nodded and said, "I'll go to see her in the palace later." ”

The Yonghe Palace is quiet as usual, the main hall where the concubine lives is as calm as ever, and even the palace people who serve look as usual.

Ruyi didn't look at their faces, but said lightly: "If you don't do your business, you don't have to get involved." ”

Usually looking at the wooden plate held in Sanbao's hand, there is a Jun glazed Ganoderma lucidum holding pot and a peach heart honeysuckle pattern Jun glazed cup on it, I can't help but be a little scared, and look at Ruyi with a face hanging down in fear. Chang Chang agreed, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, as soon as the slut comes back, she will stay in her room and have no face to come out." It's true, how to do this kind of dirty thing. Speaking of which, the slut is not at ease, and she even let her personal maid invite you here, do you still want to beg for mercy on her cheap life? ”

The beauty who was sent into the palace by the side of the five princes Hongday, the face of the peach blossom dipped in water looked like a demon tune, and it was not quite in line with Ruyi's eyes, and now it was a "cheap" word when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and he was more and more displeased to hear Ruyi. Ruyi frowned and glanced at her: "What did she do, do you need your mouth to say?" ”

Ruyi has never laughed much, and she often hears this sentence, and even more Nuo Nuo says yes. is still pulling Chang Chang's sleeve, Chang Chang is busy shrinking to the side, and he doesn't dare to speak anymore. Ruyi didn't bother to talk to her, glanced at her heart, and ordered, "You go and take a look." So saying, he went to the inner sanctum.

The eunuchs outside waited to push open the door of the main hall, and the moment Ruyi stepped in, there was a dull wind blowing on the upper face. In a trance for a moment, it seemed that she had been here many years ago, and the emperor was accompanied by the new favorite Rui Ji. More than ten years later, the furnishings in the palace are still the same, but the heavy gold dust has dimmed a little, and the paintings of the carved beams and paintings have faded some color. The ethereal twilight is entangled in the meantime, like the people who live in this palace, old age, and the fading of the red face, which is just a matter of a flick of a finger.

The children of the rivers and lakes are old, and the deep palace is red and the deep palace is withered. Actually, it's the same.

The weather in the evening was a little cool, and there was a dying atmosphere in the hall because of this. Although the lights were on as usual, Ruyi still felt that there was a deep darkness in front of her, only a few faint red daisies on the dressing table that were about to wither flashed with thin red shadows, as if they were desperately blooming with the last of their beauty.

Concubine Mei sat alone in front of the dressing table, dressed in a fragrant Xiangfeng Tuan pattern makeup satin Ji suit, the dark gold thread weaved a complex and fine pattern of Fengqi Ruizhi, facing the mirror to gently support the side sideburns of the double happiness Ruyi point emerald hairpin, so that the six strands of gold thread beads fell just right next to the white ears. She looked at the front and back mirrors of the flowers, although she was bright and moving, but she was still not satisfied, and took a calendula lotus flower from the bead box and wore it on her sideburns.

Ruyi vaguely remembered that Caisheng was one of the jewelry that the emperor gave her when Concubine Mei was favored in the past, and she liked it very much, so she often wore it. That meaning is good, it is the year after year, and it is the meaning of Zhu Yan not giving up the mirror, and the two love each other is happy and sympathetic.

Ruyi looked at her quietly grooming from behind, her heart was sour, and she said gently: "The emperor has not abolished your position, dress up well, it's so good-looking." ”

Concubine Mei saw that it was her in the mirror, so she slowly turned her head sideways: "The queen mother is here." She didn't get up, she didn't salute, she just greeted her with her eyes, but she had a demure and elegant feeling, and her skirt was as gentle as water.

Ruyi didn't care about the number of courtesies, she just stretched out her hand and folded a small daisy hairpin on her sideburns, and said softly: "Okay, why did you do such a thing to Concubine Qing?" After living in the palace for more than ten years, are you tired of living? ”

Concubine Mei nodded slightly, and her neck, as white as a swan, hung into a graceful arc. "It's really tired of living like this every day." She looked at Ruyi and said firmly, "The queen doesn't know, right?" Concubine Qing and I, as well as Concubine Shu, are all members of the Queen Mother. ”

Ruyi's surprise was only a slight backwater: "Oh? ”

Concubine Mei took the pill, carefully painted her onion-like nails, and smiled: "Yes." The most noble Lafayette among the women in the world, the queen mother, and the emperor's mother, also have to place their own people in the harem. Isn't it funny? ”

Ruyi's expression was calm: "If someone asks for something, he will do something." Nothing funny. ”

Concubine Mei sneered: "Yes." Even the queen mother, who is above 10,000 people, has times when she is afraid. We are placed by the emperor's side, snooping when it is time to snoop, speaking when it is time to speak, and flattering when it is time to flatter. The queen mother and the eldest princess can be safe! ”

Ru Yiqi said: "Since you and Qing Concubine are people together, why do you want to harm Qing Concubine?" ”

Concubine Mei looked at her rose-red nails, revealing a little proud: "The Queen Mother's own people poisoned her own people, cut off their heirs, and hurt their bodies, isn't it fun?" She smiled lazily, like a half-broken flower and revealing a few petals of red and fragrant incense, more and more bewitching and almost glamorous beauty, "Anyway, everyone thought that on the night of the wind and lotus in the Quyuan, the Qing concubine occupied the scenery, but I made wedding clothes for others and became a foil." Then whatever, anyway, I saw through it, and it was good to say that I was jealous, and I didn't care about anything. ”

Ruyi frowned lightly and stared at her for a moment: "If you are really jealous of Concubine Qing, you should poison her with enough grass, why just add so many ox knees to make her blood collapse, hurt her own yuan, and can't have children?" Since you are a person trained by the Queen Mother, you should know that cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the best way. This half-baked trick has nothing but to make people think you're incompetent. ”
