Xue Hainiang rubbed her chin, frowning tightly like a distant mountain.

I don't know how Xue Qiaoling bribed the envoy of Qin Tianjian to make him tell such a lie to deceive the Son of Heaven.

Xue Hainiang thought that she needed to go to the guard to see if there was any news about Gu San.

Xue Hainiang has not been in contact with Gu San, who voluntarily entered the palace in the past, for a long time, since she entered the imperial study on an errand, she was afraid that Father-in-law De'an would find out some details, so she cut off contact with Gu San.

Xue Hainiang did not go directly to the guard duty to look for Gu San, but randomly found a young man who looked more honest, grabbed him, and stuffed a heavy purse into his hand.

smiled suddenly, it is really a picturesque eyebrow and a beautiful country. "Little brother guard, can you ask how to get to the Maple Tree Pavilion?"

The guard was completely immersed in Xue Hainiang's flower-like smile and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't care for a while why Xue Hainiang asked the location of the maple pavilion in the big winter season, and subconsciously said: "If you go forward, you will see the imperial dining room, and the northwest position of the imperial dining room will go inside...... It's a bit remote, and now it's winter, so there's probably not much to walk around. ”

He looked at Xue Hainiang with some concern, and couldn't help but say that word of concern.

Xue Hainiang nodded and said, "Thank you, little brother." After that, he looked at the guards on duty behind the guards who were leaning here, and intentionally or unintentionally spread out the palms of the guard brothers, revealing the heavy purse inside, and said: "I see that you have worked hard to be on duty here, here is a little bit of my heart, the little brother and all the brothers are divided." ”

The guard nodded and smiled.

After Xue Hainiang left, the group of guards on duty rushed up, snatched the purse in the guard's hand and said with a smile: "Yes, this is silver falling from the sky." I said Xiao Lizi, your luck is really good, you saw the beauty smile again, and you took the silver. ”

"Hey. The man beside him elbowed one hand and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense." Don't you know who that girl is, I just looked at it and looked strange, now think about it, isn't it the Xue girl on duty in front of the emperor, who was married to King Qinghui as a side concubine at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet some time ago. ”

"Such a big ......" The little guard brother was startled, he thought that this beautiful girl who was born like a flower might be the maid next to the mother.

"Yo, the person who spread rumors in the palace some time ago was in full swing was her......"

"You say, there are rumors about her and the emperor in this palace, but now she has become the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Qinghui. ”

"Hey, what does it have to do with you, take the money and go in, these big people don't care about anything, yo, this girl is really generous. The guard shook the money out of his purse, "Go inside and share it with your brothers." Don't miss our boss's share. ”

Xue Hainiang did not follow the direction pointed by the little brother of the guard, but took a shortcut that was remote and few people knew, and came to the Maple Pavilion early.

Sitting on the cool bluestone slab steps, Xue Hainiang held her chin and looked at the sky in a daze, and a few white clouds floated in the blue.

She had just delivered the letter through the mouth of the guard's brother......

It is true that the code agreed between Xue Hainiang and Gu San was to ask for the way to the Maple Pavilion.

She knew that if she went directly to find Gu San, she would definitely attract the attention of someone who cared about it, and it would not be good if it affected Gu San at that time. Yes, she thought of such a plan, looking for the guard brother, and then giving a reward and instructing to share the silver with the guard on duty, and then this matter will be publicized by the guard brother, and it will inevitably reach Gu San's ears. 、

Xue Hainiang didn't see any anxiety, she looked at the sky that had not yet darkened, she knew that such a wait would definitely wait until after the sunset.

Slightly closed, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

When she came back, she was obviously alone, and now she has not been in time for a long time, and she has become the side concubine of King Qinghui who has not passed the door.

Thinking about it, Gu San already knew about it......

At that time, Nan Jiuxi pressed her.

Why did he deliberately disobey the Queen Mother's decree at first, but later responded to it?

The phoenix's eyes were filled with a shallow layer of confusion.

At that time, when Nan Shuke proposed to her in the pavilion to accept her as a concubine, she subconsciously thought that she was the concubine of King Qinghui. She didn't obey. As far as she is concerned, at the moment, she is only trying to solve the dilemma of the Li family's back house in the Xue Mansion, which is not only a purposeful marriage, but it is inevitably dirty.

However, when the Queen Mother repeated the decree again, she realized that it was not the main concubine but the side concubine.

Side concubine, which means that there is no need to drink together......

At that time, Nan Jiuxi was aggressive and asked her if she would like to be the concubine of King Qinghui. She knew that although Nan Jiuxi's question was a question, it was actually a disguised way to relieve her.

The implication is that if Xue Hainiang resisted the decree at that time, Nan Jiuxi would definitely have a way to solve her predicament, but she could protect her from being punished and embarrassed by the Queen Mother.

But Xue Hainiang also knew that if she resisted the decree at that time, it would be equivalent to inheriting Nan Jiuxi's grace. After that, he stepped into the control of Nan Jiuxi.

The eyes of the demon swept fiercely.

If she really wanted to choose, she would rather be secretly executed by the Queen Mother for the crime of resisting the decree than accept Nan Jiuxi's kindness and become his plaything.

There is no leakage here, yes, and Xue Hainiang doesn't know what time it is.

By the time I heard the sound of small steps, it was already night and the stars were shining.

“...... Sea Maiden?"

The low, magnetic male voice was slightly puzzled.

Xue Hainiang looked sideways, the corners of her lips were lightly raised, and her eyebrows were gentle, "You can be regarded as here." ”

Gu Sanran said, "I'm ...... When I learned that the message you secretly delivered was close to the unitary hour, the guard office couldn't leave for a while because of the matter. ”

Xue Hainiang shook her head, "It's okay." She looked at Gu San, "It's been good lately,"

First, casual greetings.

Gu San was slightly stunned, but he still nodded, "The head of the guard appreciated me before, and before he was transferred, he had already submitted to his superiors that I would take over as the head of the guard, and he was a little busier than before. ”

Xue Hainiang smiled, "You are doing well now, and I will feel more at ease when I leave the palace." "If nothing else, tonight is afraid that it will be the last time she will see Gu San in the palace.

As for later.

Xue Hainiang smiled bitterly, she was happy to enter the Qinghui Palace, and she was not as comfortable as the palace.

Gu San hesitated, and finally asked: "Is it really something you are willing to marry into King Qinghui as a side concubine?" ”

Xue Hainiang didn't have a look of joy or anger on her face, as if the person who was about to marry into the Qinghui Palace's mansion and become a side concubine in Gu San's mouth had nothing to do with her.

Xue Hainiang explained the matter of Xue Mansion to Gu San in detail.

"It's not necessarily the best way to do it, but it's the only way I can do it right now...... Since I am on an errand in the palace, I naturally can't spare my hands to meddle in the affairs of the back house of the Xue Mansion, if I become the concubine of King Qinghui, my father will definitely have more worries. ”
