After being silent for a long time, I suddenly felt a very light touch between my eyebrows, a few fingers, touching the center of my eyebrows, and rubbing it gently.

I knew how strong his hand was, but the force was very light at this time, and he even patiently rubbed it slowly on my eyebrows, as if to smooth out every furrow and fold felt under his fingertips, so that every bit of gloomy emotion in it disappeared with it.

I subconsciously wanted to frown, but I held back.

At this moment, I heard his low and hoarse voice ringing in my ears—"I already know it." ”

“……”

"The things she did, Mingzhu, and the rest of the palace came to sue me."

“……”

"Now, I've deposed her, if you still can't—can't let go, even if it's a thousand cuts at her. As long as I can compensate you, you say, I will promise you. ”

I said, will you promise me?

My heart moved, but the next moment, I heard him say, "But, I won't let you go." ”

“……”

"Past, present, or future, I will not let you go."

The fingers caressing the center of my eyebrows also became heavy at this time, as if I felt that all my previous efforts had come to naught, and my eyebrows were no longer wrinkled, but they were so cold that it seemed that I could no longer feel anything.

He slowly retracted his hand, still standing by the bed and looking at me, and after a long while, said, "After the national funeral, I will re-canonize you." ”

“……”

"Li'er, I will definitely get her back. No matter how long it takes, I will not give up looking for her, and I will definitely find her back and reunite with us. ”

“……”

"So, you-"

As Chang Qing said, he was indeed very tired, his voice was low and heavy, as if he didn't even have the strength to say the last sentence, but after a long silence, staring at my back, he finally slowly turned around and left.

I lay on the bed with my back to him, my eyes wide open, watching the shadow on the wall slowly fade away, fade, and finally disappear into the sunlight that came in when the door opened, and slowly, the footsteps were inaudible.

I heard Mama Wu and Shui Xiu walking cautiously, and seemed to want to come in to have a look, but they were stopped by Chang Qing's faint sentence "Let her stay alone for a while", the door slowly closed behind me, and a long and hoarse voice sounded in the room, and finally led out a cold tear in the corner of my eye, which slid down my cheeks, and disappeared into the black hair.

From that day on, I was back to my old life.

Perhaps this past is a past that is farther away than I thought, a past that is almost forgotten.

I still didn't leave Jingren Palace, but the place where I lived was no longer the subordinate room where I was with Mama Wu and them before, but Chang Qing ordered to clean a quiet courtyard in Jingren Palace alone for me, and Mama Wu and Shui Xiu still came over to continue to take care of my diet and daily life; From time to time, there was also a steady stream of delicacies and supplements assigned by the emperor and empress, which were sent to my house.

This kind of treatment is no longer what Jixian Hall can enjoy, and I am in this state now, somewhat "concubine unknown" feeling, the harem is full of people, but this time no one dares to say anything, some of the concubines who come and go to Jingren Palace to ask the queen to ask for peace will also stop by to see me, and the attitude is also very affectionate and familiar, and the sisters and sisters do not leave the mouth.

Everyone here is looking at each other.

Shen Rou has already fallen.

Nangong Lizhu will no longer have children.

The secret agent sent by the emperor has not been broken, and the princess will return to the palace sooner or later, and His Royal Highness Nian Shen, who was gifted by the emperor with a Biyue scimitar, also called me a young aunt, plus because of the emperor's sentence "The young baby's health is not good, and it needs to be recuperated", the delicacies and supplements of the imperial dining room and the imperial pharmacy have been sent over in a steady stream, and the imperial doctor from the hospital has come to me every once in a while to diagnose and recuperate, what else do you not understand?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.

Mama Wu just pushed the door in, and saw me sitting by the window, looking out with empty eyes, the sun had set, and there was a brilliant fire cloud in the sky, as if half of the sky was about to burn red. It was only then that there was some warmth on my pale face, though everyone knew that it was just an illusion.

Mama Wu cautiously walked over and offered me a bowl of soup with an attractive aroma: "My lord, this is just sent from the imperial dining room. ”

I glanced down and silently picked it up.

I don't have trouble with myself.

If my health is not good, I will raise it; If I'm in a bad mood, I'm not angry, I don't want to listen to Pei Yuanhao's words that day, but there is only one sentence, which I hear most clearly and into my heart.

No matter what time it is, I will never give up looking for my daughter!

As long as she survives, there will be a day to leave, and there is hope to find her!

As soon as I took the rich soup that had been simmered for at least two or three hours, the gentle smell immediately filled my mouth and spread to my limbs and body.

Mama Wu stood by and watched, and when I finished drinking, she whispered: "My lord, I just heard that Yuan Cairen died two days ago. ”

My eyebrows moved slightly-Yuan Yueming?

Turning his head to look at her, "What's the matter?" ”

"It was said that he had a sudden illness, and the imperial doctor couldn't see it, so the person passed like this."

“…… Oh. ”

After a slight throbbing at first, only calm and hollowness remained, and I nodded faintly: "Got it." ”

Mama Wu didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

I really don't have any surprises.

Since I returned to Beijing, I haven't seen Yuan Yueming in the crowd that picks me up, so I know that she must have been accused.

Death must be died, but her death cannot be canonical.

She overheard the emperor's life experience from the queen mother and leaked it to Shen Gongyi, which has already touched the emperor's scales, and a thousand cuts are not enough, but such a harem concubine cannot be directly involved in the case of Taifu's rebellion, if Pei Yuanhao really wants to try her publicly, she will expose some things that cannot see the light of day.

Therefore, Yuan Yueming can only die like this.

I recalled the first time I saw her outside the Linshui Pagoda, when it was a new girl who came to greet the Queen Mother, so many beautiful people, I only noticed two or three people, her little kitten-like frightened expression, still fresh in my memory.

That's what Shen Rou has picked out, another "me".

The Queen Mother said that she couldn't draw a tiger into an anti-dog, which was a little ridiculous, but after it was ridiculous, the rest was pale.

Isn't she like that?

But in my opinion, the women who have entered this harem are actually the same.

Even if I'm still alive now, I don't know what the difference is between my heart and death?

The only two people I could get moving, I couldn't see, one because I lost her and couldn't find her, and the other because I couldn't see him.

The emperor didn't imprison me, nor did he do anything to Qinghan, just a faint sentence of "You'd better not 'disturb' him", and made it clear.

Shen Gongyi's rebellion this time has caused an uproar in the DPRK, among which there are many people involved in the case, the relationship is very wide, almost implicated most of the imperial court, listening to Chang Qing said, all kinds of impeachment folds piled up in the imperial study, and even some officials directly smuggled, blood flowed all over the ground on the soul breaking platform at the entrance of the vegetable market, and everyone was in danger.

Pei Yuanhao used the most resolute means since he ascended the throne to almost completely eliminate the old ministers of the court, and all the henchmen of Shen Gongzhen were uprooted and eradicated.

Soon after returning to the palace, I had already heard the news that Fu Badai had been named a third-class uncle and appointed as a Taibao.

And Qinghan, because of his meritorious service in eradicating the traitors in the Juma River Valley, was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites, and was appointed as the captain of the light car.

Pei Yuanhao did not treat him badly.

Even, he didn't treat him lightly because of me.

But what if I met him and saw him again?

I didn't dare to think about it.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and Shui Xiu walked over cautiously: "My lord, the queen mother sent someone to send an ice tray over." ”

I turned my head faintly and saw a few little eunuchs walking in with ice trays, a thin layer of crushed ice below was still exuding cold, and there were all kinds of fruits on the ice, which looked bright and pleasant, and it was a pleasure in such weather.

Putting the ice tray on the table in the center of the room, a few little eunuchs came over with a smile: "My lord, this is what the queen mother explained, adults are weak and weak, and things that should not be too cold, let's use some to cool off." ”

I hooked the corners of my mouth: "It's hard work." ”

"When the adults say so, the little ones should be blessed."

I didn't want to talk more and more, so I only gave Shui Xiu a look, she took a few of them out, walked to the door, and the other little eunuchs left, but Xiao Fuzi stayed, took out a small bracelet from his sleeve and handed it to Shui Xiu, and said in a low voice: "Where, for you." ”

"Where did it come from?"

"I asked someone to bring it from outside."

Looking at Xiao Fuzi's expression of offering treasure, Shui Xiu couldn't help but smile, picked it up and looked at it in a pretentious posture, and said with a pout: "It's ugly, it's not as good as what I usually wear." ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Fuzi was looked down upon by her, and suddenly blushed with anxiety: "This was brought from a foreign goods store, and it cost me a lot of silver." ”

When Shui Xiu heard this, he immediately asked, "How much?" ”

"Uh, three-three-money-"

"Three coins?!"

Shui Xiu was as if he had blown up his hair, and immediately scolded: "You pig brain!" Three coins of silver to buy such a thing, not gold or jade, you-"

Xiao Fuzi was so frightened that he screamed, and Shui Xiu saw that I had turned around to look at them, so he poked Xiao Fuzi's head hard: "I'll clean you up when I go back!" ”

Xiaofuzi was scolded and beaten by her, but she was still smiling, turned around and staggered away.

Shui Xiu came in just now, saw my face faintly, and said cautiously: "My lord, I didn't quarrel with you, did you?" ”

I just laughed a little and said, "Show me what a strange thing." ”

Shui Xiu listened, muttered while handing me the thing, and said: "This guy is the most eyeless, spending three dollars to buy such a thing, it really makes him angry!" ”

I took the bracelet and looked at it, the color is a little strange, it is indeed not the same as what I wear on weekdays, it is not gold or jade, and I don't know what material it is.

It's just that young girls won't understand at this time.

I handed the bracelet back and said slowly: "If you want to say that these things are not necessarily better than ours in foreign goods, but what he gave you is more in your heart." ”

Shui Xiu listened, pouted, or took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped it and stuffed it into his sleeve, rolled his big eyes with a purr, and said, "My lord, do you also know these foreign goods?" ”

I only smiled faintly, and suddenly remembered something: "Why is there a foreign goods store in the capital now?" ”

"Listen to Xiaofuzi, there is."

"When did it start?"

"Just these days."

"Oh......"

In my memory, those foreign goods only circulated more in a few cities on the southeast coast, and even if there were in the capital on weekdays, there were only a few.

Foreign goods......

I thought silently and didn't speak again, Shui Xiu saw that I was quiet again, so she stopped talking and retreated cautiously as usual, but as soon as she walked to the door, she stood up again and bowed outside: "Your Majesty! ”

“……”

The next moment, the figure had already walked in.

The sun has set, and the ground and the surrounding qiē will absorb the heat of the whole day at this time, and the person who came also has a burst of heat, as soon as he enters the house, I subconsciously frowned, he has already walked over.

"Are you feeling better today?"

As he spoke, he took off his robe, Shui Xiu was already familiar with the way over, and Mama Wu also served tea, and I stood up on the edge of the table: "Weichen meets the emperor——"

The hand he handed to Shui Xiu stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his usual appearance and waved his hand: "Let's go down." ”

Shui Xiu and Mama Wu looked at me again, and then slowly retreated and closed the door.

Because there was an ice tray in the room, it was not so hot, so he came over and sat down in front of me and said, "Sit." ”

I still stood, thought about it, turned around and walked to the other side: "Weichen helps the emperor get some-"

Before the word fruit could be spoken, his hand had already been grasped.

He brought the scorching heat, but unexpectedly, the palm of the hand was cold, and the palm hardly felt any temperature, and I was caught by him like this and couldn't go any further, so I stopped and stalemate for a while, without looking back or moving.

I heard his tired voice behind him—

"I just wanted to come to you for a break."

“……”

I turned my head and met the bloodshot, tired eyes.
