All kinds of exquisite lanterns illuminate the entire purple (forbidden jìn) city as if it were day, and the more colorful the night, the more it can reflect the luxury and prosperity.

Meili sat in the corridor with lanterns hanging on each beam, the Fujin Lady was extremely complete today, and it was also a glory that could not be sought by the emperor to enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns, everyone was talking and laughing, and the lights and laughter brought the peaceful scene of wealth and glory to the extreme.

Meili looked at the charcoal fire swaying in the wind and didn't feel a trace of warmth. The Eight Eight Formations in her arms were like a cold stone, and she was about to breathe.

In the past few days, she has always been announced to enter the palace to accompany her ancestors, and she has always brought the picture on (身shēn), but whenever she has the opportunity to dedicate it to the emperor, she always misses it in a daze. When she presented the picture, what did she have to say and what did she ask for?

It was as if she had wanted to show her (允yǔn) 恪's (身shēn) to Jing Xuan countless times.

Always talking to the lips, suddenly desperate.

This picture is indeed the emperor's dream, but what can she get in exchange for this picture for (允yǔn)恪? Become a sister-in-law? Become a prince? Become Prince Qing? Even she felt that there was little hope that these demands would be realized.

If...... The emperor knew that Brother Cheng Yi had hidden it from him, she had hidden it from him, and after hiding it for many years, what would the emperor think and decide? If Jing Xuan knew that the formation diagram he was searching for was on the side of (身shēn) and in her hands, what would he think and do?

She is not afraid of death, nor is she afraid of losing with nothing, she has already had nothing. The king's heart is unpredictable, if the emperor is angry with their repeated deception, and even (允yǔn) 恪 is to blame, then she is equivalent to crushing (允yǔn) 恪's future with her own hands!

Jing Xuan already had a knot in her heart for (允yǔn) Ke, she crossed his husband's authority and went directly to plead with the emperor, would he still support (允yǔn) Ke?

This is a big gamble about life and death, about fate, she hesitates, she is afraid, because she can't afford to lose, her bet is (允yǔn) Ke's life.

The lamps hanging in the atrium are carefully selected for the finest, and many of them are pasted with riddle couplets. The emperor led a group of princes and nobles to appreciate them one by one, talking and laughing and guessing riddles. Meili looked at it from afar, the emperor was pulling the crown prince Yinren, and the riddles on the lamp always asked the prince of the dynasty first, and the other princes followed them like ornaments. There was a riddle that stumped the prince, and the eighth elder brother in the team was anxious to tell the answer, but was secretly stopped by the eunuch who followed him.

She saw this scene so clearly!

Even the royal family and the concubine are so cruel. The light is all to be given to the prince who is the son-in-law, and if others want to get a little bit of it, it is robbery, and it is all trespassing!

Before the banquet began, the emperor went up to change clothes and rest, which was her only chance to meet the emperor without alarming others.

After handing over (允yǔn) Ke to (乳rǔ) mother to arrange, she took advantage of no one to pay attention and walked into the back (hall diàn), the eunuchs and palace maids were busy going in and out, Meili hid in the narrow passage between (hall diàn) Yu and the palace wall, it was dark, and no one found her.

She leaned against the cold wall and closed her eyes, as long as she presented the picture to the emperor, as long as she said what she was going to say, the rest ...... You can only leave it to fate!

As soon as she wanted to flash (身shēn) out, she heard the emperor's voice coming from (殿diàn), "Let's take a look, Zamulan." ”

She's stiff, Zamulang? Su Ying's Amma?

He...... Also in the back (hall diàn)?

The voice sounded at the door of the (hall diàn), and Kangxi's tone was full of spirit, "You see, more than 20 years after the Qing Dynasty was handed over to me, there was such a scene!" ”

Zamulang chirped and said convincingly: "The emperor's wisdom is the blessing of my Qing Dynasty." ”

The emperor suddenly sighed, "This prosperity ...... It's for the world to see, it's for the neighbors, how can you not know my difficulties, you have been managing the household department for me for so many years? ”

Zamulan said with sincere fear: "The old slave deserves to die. ”

"At such a time, how can you turn your back on my trust and go to old age?"

"The Emperor's ......"

"You...... After all these years, you still can't believe me? ”

Meili leaned against the wall, feeling the blood on her face receding, and she felt chills.

The emperor actually said such a thing to Zamulan?

"Damn it...... old slave," Zamulan's voice trembled.

"I ascended the throne as a young man, and I was peaceful three times, and I was defeated by foreign countries...... None of this is what I want, what I want! What I want is a mighty Celestial Empire, a feat that has been praised for centuries. For this reason, I will not hesitate to do my best, and I will not hesitate to die! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"And what about you, Zamulan?"

"Minions...... is also willing to die for the emperor! ”

Kangxi smiled, "I won't want you to die!" You know, I understand, what you're doing now is a knife head (lick tiǎn) tiǎn) blood errand, after so many years, I can hurt you with this knife? The ministers are noble, and they are all over the place, but they hurt you? Your son, I promise to be a high-ranking official, and your daughter, I will give her a crown. Zamulan, Zamulang, how can you still resign from me? ”

"The old slave deserves death!" Zamulan knelt down, grateful. "The emperor treats the old slave, treats the old slave's family, the emperor is generous, and the old slave can't repay even if the powder (body shēn) is broken. The old slave was wrong, the old slave was guilty, and when the emperor was showing his grand plans, he wanted to be good to himself (body shēn), which was really damned. The old slave knew that what he did would not have a good end, and he was worried about his wife, son, and grandson, so he did this disloyal and unrighteous act, and hoped that the emperor would forgive him. ”

Kangxi was silent for a while, and when it came to this, there was no need to detour anymore. "Zamulan, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is guilty, and he only asks the emperor to respond to the old minister's two things, and the old minister has nothing to worry about, and he is willing to be the emperor's liver and brain!"

"Say."

"If in the future, the emperor will not be able to save the old ministers, please let the old slave family have a way to live, so that they can live in peace."

"I promise you."

"Su Ying, the daughter of the old slave, has always been treasured by the old slave (love), and her marriage to Qing Wangye is naturally the emperor's Longen, but Qing Wangye is ...... The old slave begged the emperor to keep her rich and safe, not to be subservient to others, and to enjoy the honor of the princess alone. ”

Kangxi hesitated for a moment, and finally hummed.

Meili closed her eyes, and there were no tears to shed.

The emperor promised Su Ying that she would be rich and prosperous all her life and enjoy exclusive honor, so ...... Her expectations are shattered, and changing the fate of her and (允yǔn) Ke becomes a utopia.

She didn't know how long she had been in that dark corner, and when she had enough strength to come out again, everyone was gone, and only the eunuch on duty looked at her like a ghost, and forgot to greet her.

The banquet in front of the temple was also dispersed, and everyone enjoyed the lanterns for themselves.

She saw (允yǔn) Ke in the midst of the flowers, and he was anxiously looking around, and when he saw her, he ran to her with a happy face, and called her with a smile.

Miri smiled at him, and she could only smile at him. She is truly the most incompetent mother!

(允yǔn) Ke took her hand and went to the grove away from the crowd, where there were also many lantern riddles. Ke laughed quietly and told her that Aunt Yu'an had secretly told him that the answer to the riddle that the emperor had given to win the greatest reward was written on the lamp that hung highest in the grove.

The lamp was very conspicuous because it was hung high, but it would take a bit of effort to see the small print on it.

There was already a group of people under the tree where the lantern was hanging, and it was Su Ying pulling (Yun yǔn) Jue and several minions who were busy with something. Meili lowered her eyes, she and (Yun yǔn) Ke had the favor of their ancestors, and Su Ying and (Yun yǔn) Jue also had them.

A tall and thin eunuch, with the help of others, asked (允yǔn) Jue to sit on his shoulders and slowly and carefully stand up (身shēn), (允yǔn) Jue approached the lantern, laughed, and said in a loud voice that he saw it.

Su Ying also saw Meili's mother and son, she smiled, and now it is getting harder and harder to smile at them. "Let's go." She greeted her son and her subordinates.

Under the tree, there are only two mother and son who depend on each other.

Ke looked up at the lamp on the high branch with some disappointment, he didn't follow in a crowd, only the little weak lady (Jiaojiāo).

Miri's legs suddenly went limp, she hugged the child, and broke down and cried, this was the first time she cried loudly in front of (Yun yǔn) Ke. "How can E-Niang help you? E-Niang ......"

She really didn't know what else she could do for her children.

"What are you doing?" Jing Xuan walked over quickly and covered Meili's mouth arrogantly, "What do you want to do if you cry here for the New Year, and alarm others?" ”

Miri's mind was already distracted, and she couldn't make a sound, only whimpering, tears streaming down his fingers.

Ke was frightened, took Eniang's hand and shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to look at it, Eniang, don't cry." I don't watch! Nothing to see! E-niang, don't cry. ”

Jing Xuan frowned irritably and distressedly, and asked the child, "What's wrong?" ”

Ke was a little anxious, "I wanted to see the words on the lamp, but E-Niang couldn't hold me so high and cried." ”

Jing Xuan didn't say anything, of course he knew that things (情qíng) wouldn't be so simple, Meili had been missing for so long, and he was about to prepare to turn over the purple (forbidden jìn) city. When he came, he also met Su Ying's mother and son......

"Meili, don't cry. If you don't want to get into trouble (允yǔn) 恪, don't cry. Okay? He whispered in her ear as calmly as he could.

She finally nodded, and her sanity and heart (情qíng) recovered a little.

Letting go of her mouth, he lifted his brow, "What are you crying about?" The older you get, the more you become a child. He deliberately pretended not to know and teased, "Here! He unplugged the cloak of his court robe and gave it to Meili, squatted down (身shēn) patted his shoulder, and nodded to (允yǔn) Ke.

Ke's eyes widened, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Come, Amma, take you to see."

Meili covered her mouth to keep herself from crying, and watched (允yǔn) Ke sit on Jing Xuan's shoulder, happily probing for the answer to the lantern riddle.

As soon as Jing Xuan put (允yǔn) 恪 on the ground, Yinzhen and Tai Shao trotted over, and (允yǔn) 恪 triumphantly greeted them and told them the answer. When he ran with them to receive the reward, Ke did not forget to turn around and say goodbye to Eniang.

"Where did you just go?" Jing Xuan stood under the brightly lit tree and asked softly, "Is something big wrong?" ”

She looked at him as handsome as before, she really couldn't think about it so much, if it was pressed in her heart, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she couldn't wait for a suitable time!

"(允yǔn) 恪 is your son! You're the only man I'm in! She cried and cried out.

Jing Xuan was stunned.

"I ......," she stepped back, her legs trembling, "I should have told you!" I should have given (允yǔn) Ke a clean slate! She looked up at the farthest part of the night sky, and cold tears flowed from her collar into her chest. She cried and laughed, asked him, asked herself, asked the sky, "Even if you say it...... What's the use? What's the use? ”

No answers!
