Chapter 123: The Beginning and the End
The canopy of thick ink rendering wants to envelop all things in heaven and earth under its command, and the cold winter is silent at night, not like midsummer, even if the night is deep and the traces of people disappear, but the sound of cicadas comes and goes, and it will not be extinguished. Now, there is nothing but the cold wind in my ears.
Xue Hainiang was really tired of waiting, sleepy and impatient, and there was also a little complaint in his heart, how could he still come? Could it be that he didn't see the signal he left during the day? However, this is the place where he must pass through as the captain of the guard......
Or is he just like ordinary people who see that he is down, and he becomes more and more sluggish?
The more her thoughts floated, she only felt that her breathing was getting shallower and her head was getting heavier and heavier.
Untilβ
The sound of heavy, powerful footsteps came to my ears, and my thoughts cracked like tight strings, but my eyelids were still too heavy to open.
"Miss?!" the deep, vigorous familiar voice came into my ears.
The tiredness dissipated, Xue Hainiang lifted her eyelids slightly, her hazy eyes were dazed, Xu Fang had just curled up around her knees for a long time, and now her muscles and bones were sore.
"It's even deeper, how can Miss dress so thinly, if she accidentally falls asleep, Ming'er will definitely catch a cold. He persuaded, his voice tinged with a hint of concern.
Xue Hainiang hooked her lips and sneered, but her pupils were cold, and in such a cold situation, it seemed that even her pupils were a little frosty, "I'm just afraid that Liang Meiren is thinner than me in the Chonghua Hall now, and the Chonghua Hall is even colder than this open-air with nowhere to hide." β
Gu San was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he say with relief, "I have a little friendship with the maid of the inner prison, I know that you have a good relationship with Liang Meiren, so you don't have to worry too much." β
Xue Hainiang raised her eyes suddenly, her eyes were no longer the dazed and chaotic when she first woke up, and her voice was clear and clear, as if she had been endowed with some kind of magic, forcing the listener to act according to her words.
"I want to know what happened in those days when I was away, so that I can try to save Liang Meiren. β
Gu San didn't think about it when he heard this, so he said coldly, "No! Even if you are exquisite in all directions, this time it is not trivial." β
Gu San, as a royal guard, is well versed in the affairs of the palace, and since he said so, Xue Hainiang also knew for a while that the situation was really serious.
Butβ
Since Liang Bairou entered the palace, everything she has done has been indirectly caused by her instigation...... Xue Hainiang knew that she was not a good person, although she had long been blinded by hatred, but she couldn't watch the future ruined by the people who used to treat her as a sister.
Xue Hainiang hung her head for a long time, buried her forehead deep in her knees, and just when Gu San thought that the person had changed his mind, the person who was buried deep in her knees raised her head suddenly, and a few strands of green silk were messy on her smooth and full jade forehead, revealing her bright and clear eyes, as if they were condensed with the moonlight and stars.
"Tell me, what happened when I was away, and why was Liang Meiren punished and grounded. "Although the grounding is not a heavy punishment, but in the harem of beauties, Liang Bairou's grounding means that he can't walk around in front of the emperor for a long time, if Nan Jiuxi can't take the initiative to think of this person in the future, then Liang Bairou's fate is in the palace of old death.
Gu San saw Xue Hainiang's resolute expression, and his tone was even more undeniable, and suddenly he didn't confide the truth to Xue Hainiang today, and Xue Hainiang would definitely go to great lengths to ask others about the whole story.
That being the case, it is better for him to tell the ins and outs of the matter today, and it will save Xue Hainiang from hitting the south wall and not knowing how to turn back.
According to Gu San's words, Liang Bairou's grounding can be traced back to Xue Hainiang's request to serve in the Xuan Pavilion for more than ten days, Nan Jiuxi didn't know what caused the thunderous anger, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, when the frost and snow were flying, he led the chief of the internal supervision to the Chonghua Palace, no one knew what happened that day, only knew that Nan Jiuxi was angry and issued a decree to ban Liang Bairou in the Chonghua Palace.
When Gu San heard the news, it was already the next day, and after listening, he knew that it was not only Liang Bairou who had an accident on the same day, but Liang Bairou's grounding was already a very light punishment, and Su Cairen, who was favored by Nan Jiuxi in the past, had already moved into the cold palace.
"Huanyue was beaten into the cold palace?" Xue Hainiang was full of astonishment, and for a while, her heart seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and the answer was faintly about to come out.
Although Huanyue is not a saint, but when she was named a talented person at the beginning, Nan Jiuxi was also favored in a thousand ways, how can she now say that if she falls out of favor, she will fall out of favor, and entering the cold palace is already a severe punishment to the extreme......
If it was just inappropriate words and deeds to see Nan Jiuxi, he would never be angry with his pity for the beauty.
Huanyue was beaten into the cold palace, and Liang Bairou was grounded, isn't this a joint crime at first glance?
Gu San bowed his head slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I have privately inquired about the chief of the internal prison, but he doesn't dare to say more to me, he just sighs and sighs how can the crime of bullying the king be forgiven. This is what he doesn't understand, Huanyue committed the crime of bullying the king and was sent to the cold palace, so why is Liang Bairou grounded?
For a while, the clouds in my heart seemed to be removed, suddenly opened, my lips rose, and the previous anxiety and panic all dissipated.
Huanyue was originally an impostor to be favored, and the chief of the internal prison was sent to the cold palace for the crime of bullying the king, so Nan Jiuxi must have known the truth of that day.
Huanyue used to be Liang Bairou's maid, and after Huanyue's maid was sealed, she got closer to Liang Bairou, and Nan Jiuxi probably thought that Liang Bairou had something to do with Huanyue's impersonation of the maid.
can be said in this way, it also happens to prove that Nan Jiuxi does not have a place for Liang Bairou in his heart, if Liang Bairou is just an ordinary concubine for him, in such a situation, with Nan Jiuxi's suspicious nature, Liang Bairou and Huanyue will inevitably be dealt with with the same crime, but Nan Jiuxi is just grounding him.
"You-" Xue Hainiang raised her chin slightly, raising her face as white as jade, with dark gray pupils embedded on her head like pearl jade, and under the night, there was a unique wisdom in her eyes.
"Can you arrange for me to enter the Chonghua Palace?" she looked a little anxious, and then said: "I know that the guards of the grounded concubines must be related to your imperial guards, and you are the chief of the imperial guards, so it is not difficult to arrange one person to guard the front of the palace, you only need to arrange me to guard the Chonghua Palace, and I can do the rest alone." Even if I find out, I will never implicate you, okay?"
Gu San was dumbfounded for a while, the obsidian-like pupils were faintly visible, and the young man with a strong temperament forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, but he couldn't suppress the gratitude in his heart, grateful to Xue Hainiang for being so thoughtful for him.
For him, arranging for someone to guard the palace was a simple effort, and even if the East Window incident happened, he was almost no danger......
