Forcing a tiger to jump over the wall?

When I heard these four words, I sighed in my heart, looked down at Chang Qing, she also looked at me, and nodded silently.

One of my hearts lifted suddenly.

I suddenly remembered that these days, the Shen family's actions have become bigger, in fact, if you think about it carefully, of course they want to make big moves, the second prince was born originally was the sustenance of all their expectations, as long as the officials at all levels are well managed, and there are heavy troops in hand, Chang Qing has always been an indisputable person before, the eldest prince is not taken seriously, as long as it comes to a certain time, the prince will be established, and the Shen family will really ascend to the sky in one step.

What they will do after that, you can imagine.

But now it is discovered that the second prince Pei Nianyun is actually an idiot.

In other words, all the qiē they did before were in vain, even if the Manchu Dynasty was their people, Pei Yuanhao would never appoint an idiot as the prince, and their previous big actions were resolved by Fu Badai and Liu Qinghan one by one, and the people in the six departments were all replaced, but there was a feeling of making wedding clothes for Nian Shen.

Shen Gongzhen is now afraid that he will be angry to death, and Shen Rou-

Her harem road is a smooth road, and there have been no ups and downs so far, but this child, perhaps only a few people know, is not easy to come by, but he is an idiot, and nothing else, as a mother......

Thinking of this, I also sighed softly.

At this time, Chang Qing took a sip of ginseng tea, suddenly thought of something, turned to me and said, "By the way, that Liu Qinghan, what's going on with him today?" ”

I had been hanging about this in my heart, like a big stone pressing on my chest, and when she mentioned this, my heart became heavier and heavier, and I bit my lower lip and said, "I, I don't know." ”

“……”

"This palace sees that he is cautious and humble on weekdays, and when he mentions him deeply, he only has good words, why is he like that at the banquet today, what happened?"

“……”

I couldn't answer a word.

Thinking of the appearance of Qing Han in the main hall today, he was indifferent and distant to the surroundings, as if Fu Badai really achieved the name he gave him, Qing Han - Qing Han, in his eyes, there was only a cold feeling.

"I don't know how he could have been," I muttered, "he wasn't like this before. ”

Chang Qing sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to you and him in the past, but there is one point-" Chang Qing looked at me and said word by word: "After entering this palace gate, as soon as you enter the palace, it will be different from before, many people are the same when they come, and when they leave, they are completely different people, don't say that others can't recognize it, maybe even he can't recognize himself." ”

“……”

"Do you still recognize him now?"

“……”

Can I still recognize him now?

I have never asked myself this sentence, but whenever I look at his eyes that are colder and colder, more calm and restrained eyes, and more vigorous and resolute actions, I have not asked myself this in my heart - but I know that he is still him, the man who once cared for me in the fishing village. Even though I had hurt him like that, he was so angry that he wanted to kick me out of the house, but when I opened the door and found it pouring rain, he told me to stay and leave; And now, even if he says that he has forgotten the past qiē, he will still hold my hand when I am in danger.

I believe that he is still him, but he has embarked on the path he should have taken a long time ago.

Chang Qing said again: "This palace asked the eldest prince, and he said that Liu Qinghan is the same in Jixian Hall these days, and it seems that there is something wrong with Scholar Fu, and one day when Scholar Fu beat him because of something, the ring ruler was interrupted. ”

My brow twisted into a pimple.

I also heard Nian Shen say before that Fu Badai often beats Qinghan, and he beats him in front of all the students, and today, I also saw the injury on Qinghan's face. To say that the teacher beats the student, this is not a strange thing, but Qinghan is a seven-foot man in the end, and now he is an important member of the imperial court, and people want to face trees and bark, how can they continue to fight like this.

And lightly chilling him - I don't know what happened to him, but now the Shen family sees him as a thorn in the side, and he has a dislike for the Jixian Palace, so he is completely an isolated being, if Shen Gongyun really wants to do something to him, what should he do?

Looking at my worried look, Chang Qing also sighed and muttered, "Everything is fate." ”

“……”

"This palace doesn't want you to say anything to him, it's just that the current state of affairs is different from the past, if someone is really forced to jump over the wall, he's just afraid that it's the most dangerous one."

I nodded silently: "Xiaguan knows." ”

Chang Qing drank a few more sips of ginseng tea and went to rest by herself, I saw that she was also very tired, and told the few of them not to disturb the queen if they had nothing to do, and retreated, carefully closing it for her.

This state banquet has quickly stimulated the smell of gunpowder in the court, and everyone understands what they will face next.

It's just that I don't know what the Shen family's next move will be.

But, no matter how he goes, the gloom in the sky seems to have made it clear that this storm is coming soon.

In the next few days, my injuries healed a lot, taking advantage of the good weather on this day, I went out for a trip, Shui Xiu was worried that I would accompany me, and I didn't let her follow, because the place I was going to was the last place in the palace to worry about.

Waterfront stupa.

Still standing lonely in the middle of the lake, before approaching, there was a gust of wind blowing from the middle of the lake with the breath of water, and the wind was mixed with a trace of sandalwood, which made people's originally boring mood slowly clear up.

I've been busy with all kinds of affairs these days, and I haven't been to visit the Queen Mother for a while.

Actually, it's not that I don't want to come, it's not that I don't have time to come, it's just that after experiencing some things, I don't know how to face the old queen mother, and I don't know how to look at her life. People often say that looking at the past and the present, we can know the gains and losses by taking people as a mirror, and I, reflecting this old man, seem to have understood my own half of my life.

Rusi is helpless.

Thinking of this, I only felt that my footsteps were also heavy, and I couldn't help but stop and sigh, and I heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice with a tiger spirit next to me: "What is Lord Yue worried about?" ”

I hurriedly turned my head in shock, and saw a burly man walking up to me with a smile.

"Sun-Brother Sun?"

The man in front of him, dressed in thin armor and stroking a golden knife, looked extraordinarily high-spirited, with a pair of tiger eyes and restrained eyes, it turned out to be Sun Jingfei!

He walked up to me, smiling, and I looked him up and down, and immediately realized, "You're now—"

He smiled and hugged his fist at me: "Sun Jingfei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, has seen Lord Yue. ”

I was overjoyed in my heart, I didn't expect that Shen Xiaokunbai got a soldier squire, but he became the commander of the Praetorian Guard without being able to quietly become the commander of the Praetorian Guard, which was not as uproar as he thought before, but he sat in this position steadily, which was really unexpected! I said happily: "I didn't expect Brother Sun, oh no, Master Sun has been promoted, congratulations." ”

He laughed: "It's all thanks to you and Lord Liu." ”

"This, don't dare to be."

Originally, Qinghan and I just did what we wanted to do, even if the other party was not him, we would do it, but to be able to sit in this position, it was his own alertness on the spot, and I also sighed in my heart, Pei Yuanhao and Fu Badai's move was risky, and it was really good!

"My grandson has a clear grudge." He waved his hand and said, "This grace, Sun will repay it!" ”

His behavior has the power of thunder, which is what people who practice martial arts are used to, but I think he seems to have something deeper in his eyes, although he can see it clearly, but he can't see it clearly.

When I heard his words, my heart moved: "If you say this, Master Sun, there is really something to ask for in the future." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

I looked around, stepped forward and said, "Although I don't know if there is one, but Lord Liu may have some trouble recently." If Lord Sun has some spare time, please take care of him. ”

When Sun Jingfei heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had woken up to something, and he didn't answer me immediately, but he lowered his head and pondered, and said, "Well, it seems to be true......"

As soon as I heard what he said, I immediately woke up and said, "What? What do you know? ”

He hesitated for a moment before he said: "After the state banquet was dispersed that day, I was leading people to change shifts, and I saw Lord Liu go out of the palace. ”

I nervously said, "Is something wrong?" ”

Sun Jingfei shook his head: "Not really, it's just-"

"Just what?"

"Mrs. Shen looked at Lord Liu's gaze-" He furrowed his thick black eyebrows, but he didn't finish his words, just said to me: "Lord Yue, please rest assured, Lord Liu's affairs will be taken to heart later." ”

“……”

After he finished speaking, it seemed that someone was already coming over, and he clasped his fist at me, turned and left.

I'm still standing there, but I can't calm down.

What Sun Jingfei said was just a few words, but it hit the most fearful place in my heart - Shen Gongyi really killed him? Even Sun Jingfei could feel the look in his eyes when he saw him on the side!

Looks like I really have to find a chance to go to the Jixian Hall and talk to him.

Thinking of this, I let out a long sigh and continued to walk towards the waterfront pagoda in front.

It's as quiet as ever, the scent of sandalwood in the air also makes people feel very comfortable, the ice on the lake has already melted, only some light snow is still accumulating on the shore, revealing some coolness, I walked through the water corridor to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and only after a while did Gui Mama's voice come from: "Who?" ”

"Mama Gui, it's me."

"Oh, it's a young girl!"

The door immediately opened, and Mama Gui stood at the door, looking at me happily: "Qing-oh no, it should be Lord Yue, you are here." ”

I stepped forward with a smile: "Mama Gui still call me a young girl, this is not Jixian Palace." ”

She looked at me, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, but when she looked closely, she found that there were many more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes than before, and she looked a lot haggard, so I immediately said, "Mama Gui, what's wrong with you?" Are you not in good health? ”

"No, no." She looked at me and shook her head.

I felt more and more uneasy in my heart: "What's wrong? ”

She sighed before she said, "Queen Mother, I've been sick for a while. ”

"What?" I was shocked: "What's the matter? ”

As soon as she mentioned it, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and she said in a thick nasal voice for a while: "A few days ago, it was a day when the Queen Mother's heart has been hanging, she stood alone at this door in the middle of the night, and she was also a slave and maid, and she didn't even notice it, and when she saw no one in the house, and when she came out to look for it, the snow under the Queen Mother's feet was so thick." ”

"Huh?"

"You also know that her body has been bad since that day, first she has a fever, and she is not allowed to ask a doctor, and she is finally better after a few days, but...... at such an age" At this point, her eyes were red.

I was also anxious: "Why don't you sue me?" I-"

Some time ago, because of the imperial examination, I have not been able to come to the water pagoda, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Mama Gui shook her head: "She didn't let you, saying that you finally went out, don't call you back halfway, this road can't be in vain." ”

When I heard this, my heart tugged together, and I said bitterly: "How could she think like this!" ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hurriedly go inside: "I'm going to see her." ”

Mama Gui also quickly followed, and after a while I had already walked to the door of the Queen Mother's living room, she didn't stop me, but a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and said, "Young girl, there-"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a bang, and the door opened from the inside.
