In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a year, because Yun Yue has just passed away, so this year's Forbidden City has not been colorful.

On this day, Chunxi went out for a walk, and unconsciously arrived in the plum garden, looking at the various plum blossoms in full bloom, Chunxi remembered the woman who loved the house and Wu, and attached great importance to plum blossoms.

Standing under the plum tree, he reached out and broke off a plum blossom and held it in his hand, and his thoughts drifted far, far away.

"The crowd shook off the solitary beauty and occupied the small garden. The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon. The frost bird wants to steal the eye first, and the pink butterfly knows how to break the soul. Fortunately, there is a slight chant that can be reciprocated, and there is no need for a sandalwood board to be honored. Not far away, there was a sound of chanting, which made Chunxi come back to his senses and couldn't help but look at this delicate voice.

"Concubine Min is so talented, Lin Kui's poem is read word for word, this poem is really suitable for the occasion." The quiet sound came from far to near, and I probably heard someone chanting poetry in the plum garden, and I guess I followed the sound.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen looked back, saw Jing Hao and made a flat salute, and smiled slightly: "Not as versatile as Jing Concubine." ”

This is a poem that Zhang Jia Chuzhen has just learned recently, that day in the Qianqing Palace, I saw a plum blossom picture on Xuan Ye's table, and the seal on it was a lot, so I thought that since I couldn't draw, it was good to learn a few poems of Yongmei. can always have something to talk about when getting along with Xuan Ye, so as not to appear that he is only shallow in his studies and cannot be on the stage, which will disgust Xuan Ye.

Jing Hao rolled her eyes, walked up to Zhang Jia Chuzhen, and said contemptuously: "It's just that Concubine Min probably doesn't know what kind of person this Lin Kui is." ”

"Lin Kui loves plums and plums, and he is accompanied by plum blossoms every day, so that he can write such a good poem." Zhang Jia Chuzhen also got to know the author of the poem a little, but also to avoid Xuan Ye asking and being embarrassed if he couldn't talk.

Jing Hao sneered, her face was full of disdain, and she sneered: "Lin Kui loves flowers and cherishes flowers, regards plum blossoms as his wife, and has never married in his life." Secluded in the mountains and forests, lonely and old. Could it be that Concubine Min also likes this kind of life? ”

Zhang Jia Chuzhen's face was pale, as if he was displeased, but he didn't want to show it, so he gritted his teeth and said: "He is talented, but he is not disturbed by the world." He was indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and although he was poor, he was content. How many people can't envy it? ”

"Since Concubine Min thinks that this kind of life is very good, and she also yearns for it, indifferent to fame and fortune, why don't I go back to the emperor and fulfill Concubine Min, so that you can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and be accompanied by flowers and birds?" Jing Hao covered her mouth and mocked, looking at Zhang Jia Chuzhen's angry teeth, her heart was quite happy.

Zhang Jiachuzhen was so angry that her hands were trembling, and she shot back: "Concubine Jing laughed naughtily, I just listened to this, if others heard it, I thought that Concubine Jing couldn't tolerate me and wanted to send me out of the palace." Having said that, I am also a woman in the Forbidden City, and I am a concubine of the emperor himself. If you were really sent to the mountains and forests by you in a few words, wouldn't it be laughed at by the world and tarnish the reputation of the royal family? ”

"You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Jing Hao restrained her smile and glared at Zhang Jia Chuzhen. Zhang Jia Chuzhen was named a nobleman in Jin since she was a child, and then she was promoted to a concubine, and she was the main seat of the inner court. How can a little slave be worthy of being on an equal footing with her?

Zhang Jiachuzhen was angry when she saw Jing Hao, and her heart was a little more relaxed, but her mouth was unforgiving: "Not everyone is like Jing Concubine, who has damaged the royal reputation, and can still be favored and promoted." I come from a humble background, but I am no better than your family, and I am protected by my clansmen. If he was really sent to the mountains and forests, I am afraid that he would lose his life. ”

Jing Hao's face was pale, and he was extremely angry. She naturally knew what Zhang Jia Chuzhen was talking about. It was a pain that had been quiet for a lifetime, and she could never let go. I thought that this matter had already passed, but I never thought that Zhang Jiachuzhen would reveal the scar today.

Unable to look at them arguing again, she turned and walked away.

Out of the plum garden, the conversation between the two people still echoed in his mind. Chun Xi understands the quiet past, but was designed by Tong Ruohua and almost lost his innocence.

At that time, Jinghao was beaten into the cold palace, and thanks to herself, she was able to come out of the cold palace intact.

Wait, cold palace?

At that time, Jing Hao was in the cold palace, and Jinyu was also there. Moreover, Jinyu was still able to speak well and had a clear mind at that time. When Jing Hao came out of the cold palace, he became a person, alienated Du Ruo, and later broke off his relationship with them. was even moved by Suo Etu, and he was also attached to Tong Ruofei.

It's just, why did Jing Hao do this?

Chunxi stopped, looked up at the sky, and in a trance, she seemed to see Yunyue's face. Do you miss her too much? I was hallucinating.

"Let Du Guiren come to Yikun Palace, immediately." Chunxi ordered loudly, got on the chariot, and ordered someone to hurry back to Yikun Palace.

As soon as Chun Xi sat down for a while, Du Ruo hurried over.

"This palace let you keep an eye on Concubine Jing, why don't you know that she has been to the cold palace and colluded with that slut, which has hurt the concubine even more?" When Chunxi saw Du Ruo, the anger in her heart was even worse.

Du Ruo was at a loss, not knowing what was happening, but he also guessed that Yunyue's death might be related to Jing Hao.

Du Ruo knelt on the ground and said apologetically: "It was the concubine's negligence that she didn't notice this." ”

Mu Hui saw that she was angry, and hurriedly reassured: "A while ago, the eighth elder brother was injured while riding a horse, and Du Guiren has been guarding the eighth elder brother. Although Concubine Jing lives in Changchun Palace with Du Guiren, after all, Concubine Jing is the lord of Changchun Palace, and everything in the palace is decided by Concubine Jing. Du Guiren is stared at every day, and it may not be useful. ”

Seeing that Chunxi's expression eased, Mu Hui said again: "According to the will of the mother, I asked Father-in-law Gu to send Poria to Concubine Jing to wait. Poria also won the trust of Concubine Jing, but she didn't know anything about it. Perhaps, Concubine Jing has nothing to do with this matter, and it is unknown. ”

"I hope she really has nothing to do with it." Most of his anger disappeared, and he said to Mu Hui: "Go and call the consultant, this palace has something to ask him." ”

After Mu Hui went out, Chun Xi said to Du Ruo: "Get up, sit down and talk to the palace." ”

Du Ruo sat down, and then listened to Chun Xi and said solemnly: "Eighth Elder Brother's injury is better?" ”

"It's already good, and Niangniang sent Zhou Rou over before. That girl is clever and takes good care of Yinxi. Speaking of his son, Du Ruo relaxed a lot. And Chun Xi lost his anger, which made Du Ruo feel a lot more comfortable.

Chun Xi asked again: "Do you know why he was injured?" ”

Speaking of this, Du Ruo was also very uncomfortable, she sighed: "The horse was frightened, causing Yinxi to fall from the horse and break his leg. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, so that the root of the disease was not left behind. ”

Chun Xi felt deeply bad in his heart, and had doubts about this matter, so he hurriedly asked: "Have you ever asked why Ma was frightened?" It is impossible for a horse trainer to hand over a horse that is not easy to tame to the eighth elder brother, and the palace has never heard of a horse in the palace falling from its owner in fright. What's more, since the elder brothers were six years old, the emperor has selected the most suitable mount for them, and there has always been someone to take care of them, how could such a thing happen? ”

Du Ruo also said anxiously: "The concubine once sent someone to inquire, saying that the person who took care of the horses before was seriously ill, so he was replaced by a new person. This man had little experience, and when he reinstalled the horseshoe, he injured the horse and did not tell the truth, causing Yinxi to fall from his horse. ”

"Where in the world is there such a coincidence?" Chun Xi snorted coldly, the conjecture in her heart was closer to the truth, and she said: "If Eighth Elder Brother hadn't fallen off the horse and was injured, you wouldn't have neglected Concubine Jing's side." Now that I think about it, the matter of the eighth elder brother falling from the horse is not so simple. You go back and check it again, and don't let go of any clues. ”

Du Ruo understood the stakes, and regretted his negligence, which made things out of control and indirectly killed Yunyue. She felt guilty, but she could only do her best to make up for today's mistakes in the days to come.

If it is really quietly at the mercy of secrets, then next time maybe Yinxi will not just be injured a little.

Before he left Yikun Palace, he saw the consultant coming in a hurry.

"The people you placed next to Concubine Jing in this palace, why is there no news at all? Concubine Jing really didn't do anything, didn't she make any mistakes at all? Chun Xi hit the nail on the head, and the moment he saw the consultant, he scolded angrily.

The consultant hurriedly knelt down, with a little weakness in his tone: "The slave is guilty, please punish the mother." ”

"Tell me, where is the sin?" Chun Xi leaned back on the couch and looked at the consultant with a little more anger in his eyes.

The advisor said: "The Poria that was arranged to enter the Changchun Palace before is missing. ”

"What did you say?" Chun Xi was stunned, a little unconvinced: "How can a good person disappear?" As the eunuch of the head of the worship room, you are in charge of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, why is someone missing? ”

"The minion also just learned this morning, and Poria may have been missing for nearly half a month. It's just that Changchun Palace is impenetrable, and he has always said that Poria has angered Jing Concubine, and he was punished by Jing Concubine for kneeling for half a day, hurting his legs and feet, and he has been recuperating. But this morning, there was news of Poria's disappearance. With exhaustion and regret in his eyes, the consultant was also very entangled now, not knowing what to do. was tracking down the matter of Poria Cocos, and was called to Yikun Palace by Chunxi. Come to think of it, something happened to Changchun Palace, otherwise Chunxi would not have asked about Poria for no reason.

"A careful search of the palace is to turn over the entire Forbidden City, and to find Poria. She must have known something before she suddenly disappeared. Chun Xi calmed down, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Jing Hao anyway.

Poria's body was soon found, but it was found in the pile of dead people in a mass grave, and she was stabbed to death in the back.

"What a quiet concubine, Bengong has always been kind to her and never provoked trouble, she dared to do so many things behind Bengong's back. even killed Sister Yun. "Yunyue's death is self-evident, it must be done by Jing Hao in collusion with Jinyu. In order to hide people's eyes and ears and not be noticed, he murdered Poria, causing Yinxi to fall from his horse, which made Du Ruo negligent.

"This matter was planned by the concubines, and after nearly a month, I am afraid that the evidence is difficult to find. If there is no evidence, Concubine Jing has Suo Etu to escort her in the court, and she can't be moved at all. Mu Hui was very disappointed, and finally locked up the real culprit, but because she couldn't find direct evidence, she couldn't convict Jing Hao.

Chun Xi sneered: "What if there is no evidence? The evidence that Wang Tianru was beaten into the cold palace was still made for her by the palace, since Concubine Jing started and went against the palace, how could the palace easily spare her? The coming days are long, and there will always be a time when she falls into the hands of this palace. She played a trick with the palace, and the palace wanted to take her life openly. ”
