"Invisible tattoos?"

Lan Cairen nodded: "With the pigeon blood with red eyes and white feathers, mixed with cinnabar, and white powder as a pigment for tattooing, there is usually no trace, but after drinking or sweating, after being excited, a figure will appear on the body."

That Chang Lingyan just made a phoenix tattoo in advance, and then drank some wine at today's banquet, and then sprinkled the wine on his heart under the pretense of the hands of the palace people, and then wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief, and the tattoo appeared, the color was red like blood, and it would gradually fade later. There is nothing strange about it. ”

"It turns out that this is the truth, the Manchu Dynasty is amazed by the civil and military, and you are not the only one who has seen a lot."

Lan Cairen was a little ashamed: "I just happened to be hearsay." Besides, among those civil and military officials, I am afraid that there are also people who know it, but they don't dare to find out. ”

Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and sighed faintly: "In order to be able to enter the palace, Ling Yan also took great pains. ”

"It's just a pity that my sister was affected by her and misunderstood by the emperor." Lan Cairen said hatefully: "If Lan Ting has the opportunity to see the emperor one day, she must expose her tricks and give her mother a sigh of relief." ”

"That's it." Yuehua sighed lightly: "Why bother to make enemies for me? I know Ling Yan's temperament, and I will repay her, you remember to provoke her less in the future, and just protect yourself. ”

Lan Cairen's eyes were a little red: "Do you let the emperor misunderstand Niangniang like this?" ”

Yuehua looked up at the fireworks in the sky, opening again and again: "There are too many people and things between me and the emperor, it is an insurmountable barrier, how can it be explained clearly in a few words?" The emperor misunderstood me and my brother-in-law Chu Mubai, and outsiders couldn't understand it at all, although the relationship between me and my brother-in-law was not my biological brother and sister, but it was closer than my biological brother and sister.

When my father died on the battlefield, he returned to Beijing and comforted me that 'everything has him', my mother was martyred for my father and died, and it was he who comforted me that 'everything has him', and then he went to the battlefield to avenge my father on my behalf and stand up for me. In the past five years, although the heavens are separated, he has been my belief in survival, and he is my dependent relative. It's just that the word 'righteousness' makes outsiders suspicious and becomes a sharp blade that separates the two of us today. ”

Yuehua's words were a little sentimental, and the entire Qingqiu Palace became dull because of her depression and loneliness.

Lan Cairen stared at the brilliant colors of the sky one after another, and the cold night became deeper and deeper like ink. There is no moon and no stars tonight, and even if there is a splashing rain washed down, it can't render this dark night.

It seems to be cloudy, and the night is lower, which makes people's hearts more and more dull. The cold wind blowing in the face smells of dampness.

"Queen Mother, please forgive Lan Ting for saying a word of offense. Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, and the emperor is no exception, you must be considerate. ”

Yuehua turned her head: "You are bold, you dare to say such bold words in front of me." ”

Lan Cairen flashed a pair of pure and clear eyes, and when his eyelashes blinked, he looked like a deer.

"Lan Ting's life was given by his mother, what is there to be afraid of. However, Lan Ting just wanted to say a fair word for the emperor. Lan Ting witnessed the hardships he has gone through all these years in front of the emperor, and it is not easy.

Even if he can stand out from the princes and sit in the position of emperor, there are still so many imperial relatives and relatives in the court, as well as traitorous ministers with bad intentions. The emperor had to figure out each of their twists and turns over and over again, carefully study the minds of each of them, and beware of open guns and hidden arrows. I stayed up until midnight until midnight to rest for a while. Sometimes the slave is lazy and wakes up from sleep, and he is still frowning at the desk and thinking deeply.

He is not suspicious by nature, he is just forced by the people around him, and in order to protect himself, it has become a habit over time. It's like, when you have nothing, you live your life calmly. One day, you have a priceless treasure that everyone covets and flock to grab it, you will feel that everyone around you is eyeing you with ill intentions.

This kind of fearful life is the most difficult, there is no one around him who can be trusted, and the person next to him is also calculating the power in his hands all the time, and greedily seeking benefits for the people in his mother's clan.

It is not easy to change his suspicions, because this kind of suspicion is deeply planted in his heart because he has been insecure for a long time, and it cannot be eliminated overnight. So for so many years, no woman has been able to enter his heart, just playing on the spot. ”

What Lan Cairen said is true, the first emperor had five princes under his knees, all of whom were both civil and military. Especially the second prince, the current prince Chen, is the dragon and phoenix among the people.

Mo Guhan was the youngest, and he was just a child, he rose suddenly, and was honored with lightning speed, although there is the support of the Empress Dowager behind him, but he can sit firmly in this position, and step by step, under the influence of the Chang family, it is impossible to take three turns without turning his brain.

Yuehua smiled bitterly, with mixed feelings in her heart, and she was also angry, annoyed and pitiful to Mo Guhan, and was silent for a while.

"Today, Niangniang really annoyed the emperor, the emperor was furious in the imperial study, and heard that he had drunk a lot of stuffy wine, almost drunk. The emperor has always been a person who knows how to be modest, and today is so abnormal, it can be seen that the emperor still cares about Niangniang. ”

Lan Cairen was serious and sincere when he said this.

Yuehua smiled bitterly at herself: "Silly girl, everyone else wishes that the emperor would dislike me, so that he can take advantage of the situation and replace him, why do you comfort me?" ”

"Because only if the queen is good, Lan Ting will be good, and Lan Ting will treat you as a big tree for me to shelter from the wind and rain in the palace."

Yuehua's mood instantly improved a lot: "I found out that you are the most transparent person in the entire palace, if I have a state of mind like you, I'm afraid I will be carefree." ”

Lan Cairen laughed and made a grimace: "Because I don't love, I am at ease, Lan Ting is beyond the red dust and is not in the five elements, so naturally I don't have so many troubles from you, and I can see it clearly." ”

"Because you don't love?" Yuehua was suddenly frightened, since entering the palace, she has had many ups and downs in front of Mo Guhan, and she has never been so flustered as she is today, she is all indifferently smiling. Why are you so depressed and sad today? Could it be that I have unconsciously fallen in love with Mo Guhan?

She instantly gave herself a very positive answer, if she didn't like it, she wouldn't have considered things so blindly and resolutely from his standpoint, and boldly disobeyed the Queen Mother again and again;

If it weren't for liking, he wouldn't be haunted by Jun Shuyuan's death;

If it weren't for liking, after Jun Shuyuan's death, he wouldn't be so obsessed with wanting to know Mo Guhan's attitude;

If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have seen him have the belt given by Concubine Ling around his waist and be sad;

If you don't like it, you won't dig out your mind and want to please him.

If he didn't like it, he wouldn't be ecstatic because he was a little good to him.

It turned out that unconsciously, he really put this man in his heart. She instantly felt scared, she understood that Mo Guhan was not honey for her, but poison, and how terrible it would be to fall in love with a man with three palaces and six courtyards. In particular, the man also puts himself in opposing positions.

Yuehua felt nostalgic and gloomy.

Lan Cairen stepped forward and shook her arm: "Just as the queen mother said Lan Ting, today is a festive day, let's not be so sentimental." Tomorrow is the new year, the beginning of the new year, no matter how thick the fog can't block the sun, no matter how deep the misunderstanding will be, there will be a day when the ice and snow melt, don't be so sad, okay? ”

Yuehua touched her face and forced a smile: "Sad face? Do I have one? ”

Lan Cairen wrinkled his nose playfully: "Anyway, Lan Ting already felt it as soon as he entered Qingqiu Palace." ”

Yuehua turned her head to look behind her, tonight was indeed because of her loneliness and sentimentality, all the palace people in the palace were full of breath, dull and depressed, and the entire Qingqiu Palace was silent, without the slightest bit of vitality, which was in completely different contrast from the lively fireworks in the sky.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it really shouldn't affect everyone's mood because of yourself.

She rejoiced at Xiang Shen and said, "Didn't you all secretly prepare fireworks?" It's all taken out and it's lively, what are you doing in a daze? ”

Xiangshen is always a little childlike, and when he heard the words, he smiled, and the palace people instantly began to make noise, running in and out of the place and began to be busy looking for fireworks, which were lit in the open space in the courtyard, and they were excited and lively.

The fire tree and silver flowers rained all over the sky, and Yuehua held up his smiling face, trying to transform himself into the rain of flowers and flowers, and instantly sprayed out brilliant colors, whistling straight into the clouds, and at a height close to the starry sky, blooming the last splendor, leaving the most amazing light and shadow in his eyes.

In this way, there is also the smell of New Year in the Qingqiu Palace, and the smoke of gunpowder is mixed with the coldness of the air, and it is inhaled into the lungs, which is exciting.

"Look there!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that it was near the Golden Bird Terrace, and suddenly a dazzling light rose into the sky, illuminating it as bright as day, but I don't know, what kind of fireworks are so bright?

There was already a little eunuch with neat hands and feet, who got carried away excitedly, climbed the plane tree in the courtyard, and exclaimed continuously, "What a big fireworks waterfall!" ”。

Lan Cairen laughed coldly: "I'm afraid that the master of the palace is pleasing the emperor and taking great pains in the fireworks." ”

The more lively it was, the more desolate Yuehua felt in her heart.

Fireworks knocked down icicles hanging under the eaves of the porch and fell to the ground in several pieces.

The largest piece fell at Yuehua's feet, dripping and spinning. She bent down to pick it up in her hand, because her fingertips were numb and cold, and she was unconscious.

She turned her face to look at Lan Cairen, her face was flushed with excitement, and the red agate tear-shaped earrings hanging from her earlobes swayed between jumps, like a red girl's fruit hanging on the branches in the breeze, small and exquisite, reflecting her neck becoming whiter and whiter like snow.

Yuehua suddenly became cold and gave birth to a pride that regarded death as home, or it may just be a kind of decision, she said to Xiangshen: "Xiangshen, help me pierce my ears, right?" ”
