According to Youcao's begging, the three of them searched the trail again, but they never found Song Jinya and Lu Mochuan until they found the bottom.

Ahead was the end of the trail, but only the three of them looked at each other in disappointment.

"Brother, Youcao misses you so much......" Youcao cried loudly, the girl's immature cry made Qin Luoyi's heart tighten, and he hurriedly coaxed, "Lu Qinshi, he may have been taken to another road by Song Jinya, we might as well go to another road to find out." ”

Yucao wiped away her tears and asked softly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. "Qin Luoyi is categorical, and every word is fine.

On the way back, Rong Yunhe asked her sideways, "What if Lu Mochuan is not in this secret passage?"

Qin Luoyi glanced at Youcao, and had to sigh lightly, "Take a step, count it as a step." ”

The other trail was much shorter, and soon it was coming to an end.

There seemed to be a flash of golden light in front of him, making Rong Yunhe squint his eyes slightly, and whispered to himself: "What is that?"

"It's gold!" Yucao was eager to find his brother, so he always walked ahead of them, and shouted loudly at this time, quite excited.

"Gold?" Rong Yunhe and Qin Luoyi glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, why is there gold here? This unusual discovery made the two of them secretly surprised, and their steps gradually increased, until several reddish-brown wooden boxes of different sizes appeared in front of their eyes. There were also a few plump gold ingots scattered on the ground.

Qin Luoyi could see at a glance that even these wooden boxes were quite extraordinary, they were made of hard golden silk nanmu and were finely carved, and the patterns on them were beautiful and exquisite, and the things in them must be quite extraordinary.

"Ouch, it's heavy. After all, Youcao was still a child, and she couldn't suppress her curiosity, so she couldn't help but lift one of the boxes to take a look. After a glance, the little man was already stunned, and said in a daze, "Gold, gold, a lot of gold......

Qin Luoyi stepped forward to take a look, and was immediately dazzled by a box of neatly arranged gold ingots. It can be said that in two lifetimes, she has never seen so much gold. Although she was a princess in her previous life, she had been with her mother and concubine in the cold palace since she could remember, and her mother was a generous and benevolent character, and she was rewarded with two taels of silver;

She opened all the other chests one by one, and all kinds of gold and silver jewels sparkled and emitted a seductive glow.

The pearls are crystal round, white and translucent, and the golden leaves are natural and shining.

"This ...... This is the palace's treasure trove. Qin Luoyi's face was full of surprise. These priceless gold and silver jewels are enough to arouse the deepest hidden greed in people's hearts, but fortunately, her long-cherished wish in this life is just to make Song Jinya and the Dog Emperor worse than dead, so she can be unmoved in front of this yellow and white vulgar thing.

Rong Yunhe just stood in place, his eyes were deep and dark, a little mysterious and unpredictable.

The concubine clearly told him that the East Pavilion was burned down by a fire and destroyed, and that her command lacked financial resources. Coupled with the fact that she went out of the palace a few days ago to observe the people's feelings, her savings should not be much. But now there is so much gold and silver jewelry, what is going on?

"Lu Mochuan was not found. The words he spit out lightly made the two women, one big and one small, who were immersed in joy, fall into an ice cave at the same time.

Youcao sobbed, "I don't want gold, I want my brother to ......"

Qin Luoyi hurriedly dropped the fire phoenix in her hand that she couldn't put down, looked at the grass lovingly, and said comfortingly: "Let's get out of here first, okay? Since my brother is not in the secret passage, let's go outside to find him." ”

Youcao nodded her head sharply, the most important thing for her now is to find her brother, even if it is the beautiful clothes and countless gold and silver jewelry that she has never seen before, in her eyes, it is far less charming than her brother.

So with the help of Rong Yunhe, who was armed with martial arts, the three of them left the secret passage from the entrance in turn.

"You're finally out. A shrill and soft female voice sneered, her voice quality was clearly excellent, but the harsh tone ruined the originally beautiful voice.

Qin Luoyi clenched her fingers, and forcibly held back the surging hatred in her heart, even if this voice turned to ashes, she would never admit her mistake. It was the owner of this voice who killed the mother!

Song Jinya has already returned, so what about Lu Mochuan?

"You bad woman, where did you hide my brother?" Before she could come back to her senses, Youcao said coquettishly, clenching her fists, eager to fight with Song Jinya.

Qin Luoyi came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped Youcao.

Even she felt deeply disgusted with Song Jinya in her heart, and she hated that she would be injured, but this matter must not be done in the palace, nor in front of Rong Yunhe. Otherwise, no matter how justified he was, because of the crime of persecuting the harem concubines, he would eventually be put in prison and would never be able to turn over.

She couldn't bear to let this happen to a girl who had been infected with scarlet fever from her mother's womb and had just suppressed it not long ago. Youcao still has a brother, a future, and a good golden year. How can you let everything be ruined because of Song Jinya?

"Lu Qinshi?" Song Jinya stroked the sapphire auspicious cloud pattern bracelet on her white wrist, and said casually, "After I sent him to come and play a song, I let him go back." ”

"Is that really the case?" asked Rong Yunhe aloud. He is the person who knows Song Jinya best in the world except for the emperor, people say that mother and son are connected, he just raised his eyes and saw that the mother concubine was just answering casually, not from the heart.

Song Jinya was slightly flustered by her son's aggressive questioning, but after a while, she whitewashed the peace and replied with a smile, "Don't you still trust your mother?"

"The key is, is the mother worthy of my trust?" Rong Yunhe didn't give an inch, seeing that such a beautiful and lovely little girl as Youcao was crying with pear blossoms and rain, even if he was cold and persecutive, he couldn't help but feel pity, so his words were prickly.

Qin Luoyi was secretly happy in his heart: Song Jinya, you are at this point today, but you are to blame!

The graceful smile on Song Jinya's lips froze, her face was full of disbelief, and she trembled and said bitterly, "He'er, even if the mother concubine does a lot of things that you can't get used to, the original intention of everything is for you." ”

"Is it also for me to arrest Lu Qinshi?" Rong Yunhe retorted quietly but reasonably.

"This ......" Song Jinya was stunned, her face was sad, "This is naturally not what the concubine wants." Rather, it had to be done. ”

She swallowed the words she wanted to blurt out. Even the closest son never knew the secrets she hid in the deepest part of her heart, and all the people who knew had turned into bones.

The fact that she killed Concubine Yu's mother and daughter with her own hands must be taken into the coffin by her. Let no one know about it again,

Song Jinya thought so, her eyes flashed, but she was in a stalemate with her son, and she didn't say anything.

Rong Yunhe smiled coldly, "I'm afraid there is no lack of selfishness of the mother concubine, why do you want to be good to me in a high-sounding manner?"

Song Jinya sat paralyzed on the Huanghuali open-carved rose chair, such a hibiscus spring face that looked like Rong Yunhe, looking trance-like and haggard.

Qin Luoyi inadvertently raised her eyes, wanting to see her down-and-out appearance, and then she realized something she had been ignoring all along: Song Jinya was old.

Although she still looks like a peach and plum, compared with the beautiful concubines in the harem, her stunning beauty is mostly piled up by makeup powder, which is caused by years of careful maintenance. Counting her fingers, she is nearly forty years old, and although she has a charm that young concubines do not have, but after a while, fine lines will begin to appear at the corners of her eyes, her complexion will become sallow, and her skin will become dry......

The aging of her body only induced her desire for power even more.

But as a man, Rong Yunhe would never have expected that the intrigue between the harem women would be so sinister.

He turned around at this time, turned to Qin Luoyi and said solemnly, "Take the grass with you, leave with me." ”

Song Jinya's sad call behind him ...... "Crane Er" made him more and more upset, and then bowed down and said, "Erchen originally came to find Lu Qinshi's traces, since the mother concubine said that Lu Qinshi was not here, then Erchen retired first." ”

Song Jinya leaned on the back of the chair made of yellow rosewood, and watched the three of them leave the Hundred Blessing Palace, but she only felt that this chair was cold and biting. The scenes of the past came to mind, and every scene touched her heart, sometimes showing joy and sometimes sadness.

She and Yuying, once a rare close sister in the harem, no blood relationship, but the relationship is better than that of sisters, before meeting the emperor, the two of them have always been Meng is not out of focus, Jiao is not separated from Meng.

When she plays the piano, she will dance in the flowers, and when she blows the flute, she will show her singing voice.

At that time, there was no emperor and no children, just a pair of talented women, grateful for each other's knowledge and talents, and became close friends with each other.

Thinking of this, a nostalgic smile appeared on Song Jinya's lips, but it was fleeting.

All of this was ruined because of the emperor's thousands of favors for Yuying.

The two people who originally had similar identities and family ages and appearances, Yuying soared, but she Song Jinya still sank, what kind of reason is this?

It was from then on that resentment grew in my heart.

She is a bold and careful person, and she is good at strategy. It was her step-by-step calculation that made Yuying from the originally favored Jade Concubine to being treated coldly more and more, and even ended up in the cold palace with no bones.

And now, there is only the powerful and ruthless Concubine Jin in the palace, but there is no more beautiful and refined Song Jinya, who was originally like a flower and waiting to be released, has increasingly become the vicious appearance of today.

"Yuying, I hate it so much......"
