Chengyang Palace, Yuan Hong's dormitory in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, was rebuilt from a half-old palace room, but it was to be closer to the Taiji Palace and >convenient for handling political affairs

When Feng Miao came with Su Wen, the little eunuch at the door stopped her with some embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Niangniang, the noble people are inside, I'm afraid it's not very convenient for you to go in now." ”

"What's inconvenient? The palace is just to go in and send some food to the emperor, no matter who accompanies him inside, the emperor will always have something to eat. Feng Miao ignored the little eunuch's obstruction and still wanted to go in.

"Niangniang, why don't you wait here for a while, and let me go in and report it." The little eunuch carefully laughed with him, but still refused to let him go.

Feng Miao stopped, turned her head to look at the little eunuch, and said with a sneer, "This palace has not been in the palace for all these years, and the new people have replaced the old people, have even the rules changed?" You go and ask clearly, in the past, when you were in Pingcheng, the main palace could enter and leave the Sogo Palace at will, why can't you get there? ”

These little eunuchs guarding the door were all made up after Liu Quan's death, and they were reprimanded by Feng Miao for a few words, and they didn't dare to say anything. Su Wen said on the side, "Don't get out of the way yet, please let Zhaoyi Niangniang in." The little eunuch hung his head and retreated, Feng Miao took the prepared snack from Su Wen's hand, and walked into the hall alone.

In Chengyang Palace, everything is extremely simple, window screens, bed tents, incense burners, and even blue-gray floor tiles do not have any luxurious decorations, but they are just usable. The windows on both sides were opened, and the clear sunlight fell directly into the hall, illuminating every corner of the temple.

Feng Miao raised her head, and a veil hung in front of her, gently swaying with the wind. The corners of her mouth showed a helpless smile, the layout here is actually very similar to the Sogo Palace in Pingcheng, the outer hall is bright and open, just like Yuan Hong's natural open-minded nature, and the inner hall has to be covered layer by layer, just as he has to show the unfathomable as an emperor. He has learned how to be an emperor since he was a child, and has never had the opportunity to be his true self.

As soon as the hand rested on the veil, a woman's delicate laughter came from the inner sanctum, mixed with muffled words"...... Your Majesty, don't be like this...... Where would the concubine write that ......"

Feng Miao's hand tightened, and she took a deep breath before lifting the veil and walking in. On the side of the table, Gao Zhaorong was sitting on Yuan Hong's lap, and he was holding his hand and sketching on the paper. One of them had a shy eye in the corner of his eye, and the other had a smile on his lips.

"The emperor has become more and more loving recently, and a few days ago he taught Huai'er to write like this, and today he uses the same posture to teach noble people." Feng Miao stood at the door with a snack in her hand, her eyes swept coldly over Gao Zhaorong's cheeks, she didn't know what kind of elixir she used, the rash on her body had been half healed, and her skin seemed to be more smooth and white than before.

When Gao Zhaorong heard this, he immediately restrained his smile, broke free from Yuan Hong, and bowed to Feng Miao, "Rong'er has seen Sister Zhaoyi. There was a bit of cautious flattery on her face, "Sister Feng, just now the emperor's finger was accidentally scratched and he couldn't hold the pen, so he asked Rong'er to write a few words on his behalf, not that Rong'er deliberately misbehaved in front of the emperor." ”

Feng Miao looked at Yuan Hong quietly, and when he saw that he shook his head slightly behind Gao Zhaorong, he knew that it still didn't work. Gao Zhaorong is like a snake that slips without leaving a hand, making people know that it has a mouth full of fangs, but he can't catch any handles. Feng Miao walked to the table, put the dim sum prepared by the Lingshu on the table, and said to Yuan Hong, "The concubine thought that the emperor worked hard day and night, so she specially sent some dim sum. ”

"Sister Feng," Gao Zhaorong walked to her side, her eyes were shining with tears, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's Rong'er who is ignorant and disturbs the emperor's handling of political affairs, so Rong'er will retire." She turned around and was about to walk out, not showing the slightest arrogance in front of Feng Miao.

Gao Zhaorong walked to the door, but Feng Miao was a little anxious. No matter who arranged for the envoys of the Southern Dynasty to say those words, it was nothing more than to put Feng Miao and Huai'er in an embarrassing situation, Gao Zhaorong, who had the second prince, was the most suspicious, and at this time the emperor's attitude changed, it should be a good time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as long as she did it, there would be flaws. But Gao Zhaorong was still very respectful to Feng Miao, not like he was pretending at all.

The low-hanging veil was lifted, and Gao Zhaorong didn't go out yet, but the little eunuch outside the door hurriedly walked in, knelt down in front of Yuan Hong and said, "Your Majesty, news came from Yaoguang Temple, Feng was seriously ill after the abolition, and the abbot of the temple did not dare to hide it, so he sent someone to the palace to deliver the letter." ”

Feng Miao and Gao Zhaorong turned around at the same time and stared at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground. Yuan Hong glanced at Feng Miao and Gao Zhaorong, and said to the little eunuch, "How could you suddenly get seriously ill, it's okay to say it directly." ”

The little eunuch leaned over and answered "yes" and told the situation in Yaoguang Temple. Feng Qing's symptoms of madness were good and bad, and the sisters-in-law in the temple didn't care much about her, but just brought her some food every day so that she wouldn't starve to death. Just a few days ago, a group of bandits broke into Yaoguang Temple at night, I don't know if they found the wrong person, or if they had been eyeing the beautiful maid and insulted Yuye. Although Yuye is a humble palace maid, she is still an innocent girl, and after suffering such a humiliation, she committed suicide by hanging herself the next day.

As soon as Yuye died, Feng Qing's madness became more and more serious, and the sisters-in-law didn't care much at first, but when they saw that they were going to cause another death, they hurriedly sent someone to the palace to deliver the letter.

This matter is very strange, Feng Miao frowned slightly, there are so many young sisters-in-law in Yaoguang Temple, how can the bandits just target Feng Qing's maidservant, and they can still act so quickly. She glanced at Yuan Hong, and both of them saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Yuan Hong asked the little eunuch, "Are there any suspicious people who have been to Yaoguang Temple?" ”

The little eunuch glanced at Feng Miao timidly, and then leaned down and replied, "There are no suspicious people, the sister-in-law in the temple said that only the palace maid beside Feng Zhaoyi asks for something, and sometimes she goes to the temple to deliver something." ”

Yuan Hong slowly stood up, walked up to Feng Miao and asked, "You also sent a maidservant to send her something?" ”

Feng Miao was stunned, and said, "I have sent things, and the concubines have also practiced in the mountain temple, knowing that the mountain temple is bitter and the people are warm and cold, I am afraid that the sisters-in-law in the temple will treat her too harshly, so I asked Su Wen to take care of her a few times." ”

"Then it's no wonder," Yuan Hong said coldly, "no wonder the bandits know the direction of the temple so well. ”

Feng Miao's face changed suddenly, "What does the emperor mean by this, could it be that the concubine would instruct the bandits to murder a deposed queen?" The concubine asked the maid to deliver something, which was completely kind. ”

Yuan Hong didn't answer her words, but only coldly ordered, "Zuo Zhaoyi go back to the dormitory first, I will send someone to investigate this matter, it is really shocking that this kind of thing happened in Luoyang City." ”

Feng Miao had to say something, Gao Zhaorong, who had been standing next to her, had already walked up and grabbed her arm, "Sister Feng, let the emperor decide these things, the emperor loves her sister so much, she will definitely not let her sister suffer injustice." At this point, Feng Miao couldn't say anything, so she could only retreat with Gao Zhaorong.

After returning to Huayin Palace, Feng Miao still felt unstable in her heart, she knew that Yuan Hong would not really suspect that she was trying to harm Feng Qing, they just took this opportunity to play this discordant drama more realistically. But looking at Gao Zhaorong's appearance, things don't seem to be like she did. Gao Zhaorong is usually the best at pretending, but the shock she felt when she first heard the news couldn't be disguised. What's more, there is no practical benefit to moving a ruined queen who lives in a mountain temple, and Gao Zhaorong will not bother to do it.

If it's not Gao Zhaorong, who will it be?

Feng Miao called Su Wen and asked her to go to the palace gate guard and take the records of the palace in the last month. Feng Miao has been in charge of Zuo Zhaoyi's Qingluan Yinxin since returning to the palace, and is in charge of harem affairs, so she originally had the right to check these palace records. Su Wen soon returned with a few volumes of bookkeeping, and Feng Miao spread them out on the table and flipped through them page by page.

The people of Shuangming Hall have never had a record of leaving the palace, but Gao Gao Huan has been in and out a few times late at night, but he works in the palace, and it is normal for him to enter and exit the palace gate.

Feng Miao's gaze stopped on a line of small words, and the record said that the attendants beside the second prince were ordered to go out of the palace to buy goods. The prince's use is different from that of the concubines, and it has always been uniformly allocated by the palace, because the princes are young, and they are afraid that they will use bad things to change their temperament, and if they want to buy additional things, they must go through the eyes of the mother or the princess. The second prince, Yuan Ke, has always followed the rules, how could he make such an obvious mistake?

She took a pen and copied down the record of the palace gate, and handed it to Su Wen, "Go and inquire, which attendant came out of this door for the second prince and brought him over quietly, I have something to ask him." ”

Su Wen answered, and it didn't take long to inquire clearly, and what he went out to buy for the prince was an unqualified guard next to the second prince, whose name was Zhu Ying. Su Wen looked at the gap between the two princes' studies in the academy and brought Zhu Ying to Feng Miao. These guards usually can't enter the Huayin Palace, so they can only follow the rules of the palace, guard fifteen steps away from the hall, and wait until the second prince is there when he goes out, and then follow him.

That Zhu Ying had a pair of black bean-like eyes, and kept quietly raising his eyes to peek at Feng Miao's expression, and at a glance, he knew that he was not an honest person.

Feng Miao looked at him without saying a word, and saw that he was nervous and uneasy before he asked, "You have been following the second prince for several years, and it is said that there is no merit and hard work, why don't you have a grade until now?" ”

Zhu Ying replied with a smile: "Probably His Royal Highness the Second Prince wants the little one to have more experience." ”

Feng Miao knew in her heart that this Zhu Ying was usually a lazy and slippery master, so he was not allowed to be promoted. She asked bluntly, "The palace doesn't go around in circles with you, I called you here because I want to ask you, did the second prince send you out of the palace to buy a few days ago?" What did you buy, but how come Hongu didn't know anything about it? ”
