When Chang Qing left, I don't know very well.

Except for the Taiji Palace, perhaps the whole imperial city was in chaos, and not every official could clearly see the emperor's condition, whether he was assassinated or something else, whether he was in a coma now, or whether he had already - everyone was suspicious; Why did the emperor enter the Taiji Palace, and all the people were sent out, leaving only one Jixian orthography to serve inside, and everyone was also speculating.

At this time, it is natural that a country needs to stabilize people's hearts.

And I, just sitting on the edge of the bed, so indifferent that I didn't even know where I was, I just felt that everything around me was so blurry.

In a trance, I saw a slender and pale woman who looked like a ghost sitting helplessly in the huge Tai Chi Hall, as if she was going to sit until the end of time.

When I look at her, I look at myself.

I don't know how long it took, I came out of that nightmare scene in a trance, I don't know what time it was, I just felt cold to the bone, my hands and feet had no strength at all, and I was numb as if I didn't belong to me.

When he raised his head, he faced a pair of calm, but bright eyes in the depths of the bed.

I don't know when, Pei Yuanhao has woken up, so he has been lying on the bed, calmly looking at me who is guarding the bedside.

In the Tai Chi Hall, it was so quiet that you could hear even a needle falling on the ground.

I lowered my head in a trance, only to see that his hand had somehow let go of the corner of my clothes, and I was still sitting here stupidly, guarding.

He also lowered his eyes to look at the corners of his clothes that I had torn hard, and both of them were so calm that they didn't say a word, because there was nothing more to say.

I slowly stood up and turned to walk away.

He had already sat up from the bed, and it seemed that he had hit the wound when he got up, and when he heard him gritting his teeth, he still reached out and grabbed me, and with a hard tug, I staggered and was dragged back to the bed by him.

When I fell on the soft brocade quilt, I also hit a wound on my shoulder, and the pain immediately made my eyes blacken.

He wrapped his uninjured hand around me and whispered, "Don't go." ”

“……”

I didn't speak, I just gritted my teeth and endured the pain in my shoulder, although I didn't moan and cry out in pain, but my breathing was already messed up, the corners of my eyes were slightly red, and there was a hot streamer flashing.

As soon as he saw it, he immediately softened the movements of his hand and hugged me gently: "Qingying? ”

I lay on my side on the edge of the bed, a hand around my waist was softly embraced, and the already messy and dirty clothes slipped off my shoulders during the struggle, and he lay behind me, and suddenly his breath was heavy, and the hot breath blew over his shoulders, and the temperature seemed to come from the eyes behind him.

After a long while, he whispered, "Does it still hurt?" ”

“……”

I just curled up indifferently, and after being silent for a long time, I said dumbly: "I'm tired." ”

"Then you can sleep."

“……”

"Right here I am."

“……”

"I'm with you."

As he spoke, he gently leaned up and held me in his arms, his chest pressed against my back, and I could feel the ups and downs of his breathing, and the powerful heartbeat, as if it had been going on endlessly; I didn't move again, the quiet Yishun seemed to please him, and after a long silence and silence, the hot lips were very light and lightly imprinted on my **** shoulder.

"Young Baby ......"

He whispered, softly, softly, as if he was worried about waking me up from this constructed dream.

But he never knew that in such a soft dragon bed, in his warm embrace, I always just opened my empty eyes and did not fall asleep for a moment......

When the emperor recovers from his injury, he will choose a good day to go to the Taimiao to mourn the queen mother, which is already half a month later.

There were no accidents this time, although those people before were not caught, but after failing once, they naturally did not dare to act rashly, and the national funeral was completed peacefully.

My identity is still Jixian Zhengzi, but I followed the queen and Concubine Li to complete the entire funeral.

At this point, what others want to think of me, I really don't have the heart to care, after the funeral back to the palace in a carriage, just into Jingren Palace, I saw a few young and strong little eunuchs carrying something to run out, fixed eyes, one of them held me a complete set of scriptures.

I stepped forward and said, "What is this for?" ”

When the little eunuch saw me, he was immediately so frightened that he wanted to kneel down and salute, and I frowned and said, "No need. ”

"Thanks, thanks—Thanks."

"What's going on with you guys?"

"Lord Yue, it was ordered by the emperor that after the queen mother's funeral, move all your things to Yihua Palace."

Yihua Palace? The ...... over there in the West Sixth House

My brows wrinkled even tighter, twisted into a Sichuan character, the little eunuch saw that I didn't speak for a long time, and his face was not good-looking, so he didn't dare to walk away casually, so he could only stand there cautiously and look at me, and heard the scolding of the father-in-law behind him: "If you don't see a mistake, you will be lazy, do you have to drag out to play a few boards and break your hamstrings to know that it hurts!" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, it's Lord Yue who is questioning." ”

Father-in-law Yu also saw it, and hurriedly came over to say goodbye, I took a deep breath, and turned to look at him calmly: "Father-in-law, what's going on." ”

"My lord, this was arranged by the emperor before."

His white and chubby face already had some yellow-brown old age spots, and his eyes were full of shrewdness when he smiled, and he looked at me with a smile: "Congratulations, sir." ”

“……”

I looked at him, as well as the flattering smiling face of the little eunuch, and the little palace maids and little eunuchs who were busy back and forth around me, and suddenly showed a faint smile.

I didn't laugh, Father-in-law Yu also came up to say a few words, I laughed, but he seemed to be a little uneasy, waved his hand to let the little eunuch hurry down, and then came to me, and said with some hesitation: "My lord." ”

“……”

I didn't speak, just looked at him calmly, and Gonggong Yu thought for a long time and said, "The emperor wants to canonize you, and he also has a lot of folds, but he doesn't pay attention to any of them." Just for this one, you're—"

I still stood there indifferently, not angry, not happy.

Father-in-law Yu didn't finish his words, but just sighed and said, "Everything has passed, and the matter has been decided." Adults should also go and take a look. ”

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

I stood at the gate of Jingren Palace and looked back at the tall vermilion palace gate......

Yihua Palace, which is also such a tall vermilion palace gate, is illuminated by the sun, and it is as strong as a towering flame.

I stood at the door and watched, obviously the layout was about the same as Jingren Palace, but I still felt very strange, the little eunuchs who came in and out were cautiously saluting me, I ignored it, just walked in blankly, looking at this new palace made of walls.

I heard that this is the residence of the Queen Mother before she went to the Linshui Pagoda.

She is a child of the grassland, with a warm and free temperament, but also a delicate and demure side, because of respect for her, the emperor has not let people live in, Pei Yuanhao ascended the throne, and has not made any modifications to it, you can see that the courtyard is spacious and generous, and several exquisite houses are extraordinarily quiet. A red maple tree in the courtyard is burning like a flame, except for this tree that is fiery red, the others are the old and cold gentlemen.

The original cool arrangement, but because it was autumn, it became different and warm.

I stood under the tree, distracted, and a very soft, familiar voice came from behind me.

"Your Excellency."

Hearing this voice, my heart moved, and I hurriedly turned my head and saw Mama Gui standing behind me.

"Mama."

In the past few days since I returned to Beijing, because of various affairs, although I have been to the waterfront pagoda several times, I have not entered it, and I have not been able to take care of her. Now when he saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Mama, are you okay-"

Before I could finish speaking, I froze.

Only then did I realize that she was dressed in civilian clothes and carrying a bag in her hand.

I was stunned: "Mama, you are-"

She looked a little haggard, but her spirit was not too bad, and when she looked at me, her chaotic eyes were still as gentle and loving as ever, and she said softly: "My lord, a few days ago was the day of amnesty out of the palace, and the slave maid has been waiting for the queen mother's funeral to end, and now it's time to leave, so I came to say goodbye to my lord." ”

"Amnesty...... Out of the palace ......"

I muttered these four words that I had thought in my heart and were now unfamiliar with, and after only reading them once, I choked up a little, but I still immediately smiled: "Really? ”

"Hmm."

"Then, Mama, you're leaving......"

She nodded, and I hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold her somewhat cold hand: "After you leave the palace, how will you live?" ”

She smiled: "The emperor has a big reward, and the slaves and maids go out, no matter what." ”

It's all over.

These five words sound so simple, but they suddenly make my heart sour.

The young palace maid can get amnesty, it is a free world, but she has spent most of her life in the palace, as if flesh and blood have grown together, this amnesty is like an old tree being uprooted and thrown into a strange place, alive or dead, it all depends on the sky.

At this moment, I can't tell whether she is sad or happy, an old man like her, the joy and sorrow will no longer be seen lightly.

But I'm still worried about her, this is the last person around the Queen Mother, and she used to take care of me like that, I said softly: "Where is Mama going after she leaves the palace?" I don't know many people, but there are people who are in the same place, and I can take care of my grandmother. ”

She smiled and patted the back of my hand gently, "You kid." ”

“……”

My identity is different from her, she said this, it is not in line with the etiquette in the palace, but at this time, it only makes me feel indescribable attachment and warmth, looking at her The corners of her eyes are also a little red, after a long while, she said slowly: "No wonder the Queen Mother, I love you so much." ”

At the mention of the Queen Mother, her eyes and I became even redder.

After being silent for a long time, she seemed to make me feel less sad, so she smiled and said, "The slave is still undecided, I want to go out for a walk." ”

“……？”

I looked at her with some confusion.

She is not young anymore, and the old lady of this age has no children, so she should be looking for a cheap house in the countryside to buy and find a way to live peacefully, why did she say that she wanted to go out for a walk?

Seeing my puzzled eyes, she thought for a moment before she whispered, "The slave maid plans to help the Queen Mother find someone." ”

"Looking for someone? Who? ”

"The Iron Mask King."

My breath was choking, and I couldn't believe my ears: "The Iron Mask King? ”
