At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded outside and stopped at the door, and I faintly heard what Father-in-law Yu said, and after a while, Father-in-law Yu walked to the door and said softly: "Your Majesty." ”

"What?"

"Yangzhou is three hundred miles urgent, I have arrived at the imperial study, and I ask the emperor to ......"

Before he finished his words, Pei Yuanhao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked outside, and the concubines around him all got up and knelt down, and I turned to look at the sachet in his hand, and just wanted to say something, but I saw him stop when he walked to the door and turned to look at me.

Chang Qing walked quickly to his side, didn't say anything, just waited for him to show off. Pei Yuanhao pondered for a while, and then said, "You all go back first." After speaking, he glanced at me again and said something to Chang Qing, Chang Qing nodded and said, "The concubine knows." ”

"Hmm."

After he finished explaining, he looked at me again and left without looking back.

A gust of cold wind poured in from the door opening, which made me tremble slightly, and after Chang Qing bowed to his back, he got up and walked in, and said, "Tonight's matter is here for the time being, everyone go back first." After speaking, she turned around and said a few words to Kou'er, who agreed and ran out.

The surrounding concubines suddenly discussed: "Go back? How do you end this? ”

"I can't tell her any more about it."

"I don't know what's going on in Yangzhou, the emperor has been ...... for a few days"

I stood in the middle of the room silently, Chang Qing walked up to me again, and said, "Yue Cairen, don't go back to Fangcaotang tonight, this palace has already ordered Rong Jingzhai to be cleaned out, you can live there first, and your people will come to serve you." ”

Let me go to Rongjingzhai and not be able to go back to Fangcaotang, of course I know what it means.

"Yes."

I greeted her, turned around and was about to leave, Shui Xiu knelt on the side, although frightened, but at this time he immediately stood up to help me, when I went out, a fragrant wind passed by, as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Shen Rou's soft eyes.

I thought she was going to say something, but she didn't say anything, just looked at me and walked by.

Out of Jingren Palace, the sedan chair outside is still waiting, when I sit on it, I feel that the whole body is almost prostration, and there is a cold sweat on the back, the sedan chair is swaying all the way, and my eyes are also a little dizzy, fortunately, the road from Jingren Palace to Rong Jingzhai is not long, and it will arrive after a while.

As soon as I got out of the sedan chair, I saw a group of guards standing at the door, saluting me.

Walking into Rong Jingzhai, this place is clean and clean, just sat down, Wu Mama and Xiaoyu they rushed to come, as soon as they entered the door, they asked me anxiously: "Cairen, what happened, why let us come here?" ”

I was very tired, waved my hand and didn't want to speak, Shui Xiu knelt down in front of me with a plop: "Talented, slave knows that she is wrong." ”

When Mama Wu heard this, she felt that something was wrong and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Shui Xiu cried while telling what had just happened, and when she went to release the mice, Mama Wu was so angry that she twisted her arm and scolded: "I knew you were going to get into trouble, you little hoof, why don't you do a good thing!" ”

Xiaoyu also knelt down and cried and begged for mercy: "Mama, Mama, please spare Shui Xiu, she just wants to be angry with talented people." ”

Although Mama Wu was angry, she couldn't hit a heavy hand in the end, I persuaded her to say a few words, but Shui Xiu and Xiaoyu were crying and didn't dare to get up, Mama Wu turned to me and said, "Cairen, the emperor - does he believe you?" ”

Does he believe me?

Hearing this, I frowned slightly.

I know that all along, even when we were the most close, Pei Yuanhao only trusted me seven points, and I suspected that it was the nature of a person like him, he would not and could not completely trust anyone, especially a woman like me.

However, his expression today is neither happy nor angry, nor lukewarm, but it makes me a little unpredictable--I have no idea what I say, what others say, how much he listens to and believes.

When I think of this, I just feel exhausted to the bone.

Seeing that I was a little sleepy, Mama Wu said: "Talented, talented, you are also tired, it is better to rest first, and talk about everything tomorrow." ”

After she finished speaking, she asked Shui Xiu and them to fetch hot water, and after serving me to wash up again, she wanted to take Shui Xiu and Xiaoyu out, and kept vigil for me by herself, I waved my hand and said, "There is no need to keep people here tonight, you all go down." ”

"Talented, how can you do it?"

"I said, it's fine."

Although I always speak lightly, but Mama Wu also knows that as long as I open my mouth, I will do it, and I will no longer persuade me, and after a few words, I walked out with the two girls, the door was closed, and her unwilling scolding and Shui Xiu's aggrieved sobs were heard in the distance.

Sitting at the table, I went through all the events of the night in my head, and it was clear that it had started a long time ago, not in a hurry, and I didn't know what else to hold in the hands of others.

Blame me for the past, it's so relaxing.

An hour passed, and it was past this time, and I only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and my heartbeat was also disordered, and I should go to bed immediately, but I just sat at the table and gently lit the candle flame on the table with a silver hairpin.

The hourglass hissed and hissed, making it very clear in the quiet of the night.

Even clearer, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

The deeper it was at night, the more sensitive the ears became, and I was more than ordinary people, and as long as I wanted, I could hold my breath and hear distant sounds, and the footsteps were very soft, and when I walked out of the gate, I listened for a while, and seemed to whisper something, and then I heard the guard also lower his voice: "...... Niangniang, please rest assured, we have all received great favors from adults, of course this little thing ......"

Then, the door opened.

The sound of footsteps was still very light, so light that it didn't even startle the wind, and naturally it wouldn't alarm anyone from Rong Jingzhai, but when the other party walked to the door, he still paused.

The candle flame burned quietly beside me, but the door suddenly opened, and it swayed vigorously.

Under the flickering candlelight, that soft face was close in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's your ......"

The pitch-black figure standing in front of me was Shen Rou, she was wearing a black cloak to hide her graceful figure, and the whole person seemed to melt into the night, only in front of me, slowly revealed.

She gently lifted the cloak on her head, closed the door behind her with her backhand, and smiled at me: "You seem to have known that this palace would come." ”

"Because others must not have imagined that the person who framed me would come to me immediately after I left Jingren Palace. So, I'm waiting. ”

Her eyes flashed, "You know it's me?" ”

I said lightly: "I didn't put that medicine sachet, of course, only someone else put it, only Yuwen by her side can get so close to Xu Youling, and Yuwen will not harm her master for no reason, it must be because someone promised heavy profits, she will devour the master." ”

"And how do you know it's me?"

"Because the last time I had a miscarriage, Xu Youling brought Yuwen to see me, and at that time I found that Yuwen had a piece of jade jade toad on her body, and she couldn't afford to buy something like that with her salary, and it just so happened to-" I looked up at her: "I served you in Chonghua Hall for a while. ”

Shen Rou raised a pair of soft thorns as if she wanted to shoot them, but she smiled and lowered her hands again: "It's really smart, no wonder you can kill Liu Ningyan so lightly." ”

At the mention of Liu Ningyan, my face suddenly froze.

The person who framed me will come tonight, and I did count it, but I can't figure out what she's going to do.

Although I can guess the ins and outs of Xu Youling's case, there is no evidence, as long as she doesn't come, I'm still at a disadvantage, but why does she still come?

I lowered my face and said, "What the hell are you doing here?" ”

She smiled slightly, "I'm just here to show you something." ”

As she spoke, she reached into the sleeve of the other hand and slowly felt something, and when I looked up, the blood all over her body suddenly clotted.

What she has in her hand is the famous brand that Liu Ningyan once held me hostage.

The theft of that famous brand has always been a thorn in my heart, but I never imagined that it would be in her hands!

Seeing that my face changed, Shen Rou's smile became even sweeter.

"What kind of character is Liu Ningyan, this palace knows as well as you, if you want to say that she dares to tempt the emperor, but she doesn't have the ability to murder Xu Youling, and she can't do those things. So the night before she was caned, Hongu went to see her in prison. Speaking of this, the smile on her face was a little cold and cruel: "You must not have imagined that before Liu Ningyan died unjustly, the palace judged her sentence by sentence, yes, let her nod, wrong, let her shake her head." ”

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Although I know that the emperor let the cane kill Liu Ningyan, it is neat, but Shen Rou can come to see me tonight, then at that time, she will not have no way to see Liu Ningyan.

Shen Rou sneered: "Bengong, I can interrogate her for one night!" ”

“……”

"At the end of the trial, an interesting thing was brought out by this palace."

“……”

"You Yue is light, you hurt her."

“……”

"You didn't just hurt her, you killed someone!"

Under the light, my face was as pale as a piece of paper, because the blood all over my body had congealed into ice, and even the hands that had been firmly on the table were shaking.

"Yes, there have been no palace maids who have disappeared for no reason in the palace over the years, and there have been no cases of death without evidence, so the palace sent someone to search her things to see if there were any clues, but I found this."

As she spoke, she slowly picked up the name tag, closed her cherry red lips one by one, and pronounced the name on it-

"Beauty-light-light."
