The anger in the old emperor's eyes faded a little, and he said lightly: "It's good that you are responsible for finding out about the assassins, and I have already ordered the fourth child to be responsible for the affairs of Solangtu." ”

It was Nanli night again, and he was disappointed to think of what Solangtu said in front of the ministers of the court that day, but the old emperor had no problem at all.

Thinking of this, the hatred in Nan Yeyan's heart became even more obvious, but he still said with a smile: "Yes, Erchen obeys the order." ”

After waiting for Nan Yexuan to leave, looking at his back, the old emperor sighed, his gaze under the candle flame was not as chaotic as before, it was an unprecedented sobriety.

Nan Yeyan's henchman eunuch stood aside, seeing the old emperor's deep gaze, he didn't know what to think, and he didn't dare to speak.

This is Jiang Wanxiu's second day in Chu Yunyuan, and Mrs. Qingyu detained her in the palace in the name of her Fuqin, and was afraid that she would escape, so she sent a palace person to keep an eye on her.

Although Lady Qingyu is still very kind now, the taste of being restricted from freedom is definitely uncomfortable.

Yesterday evening, the old emperor did not come to Mrs. Qingyu's palace, and Mrs. Qingyu got up very early in the morning, followed Jiang Wanxiu to have breakfast, saw that the little girl's appetite was good, drank a bowl of lotus leaf stem rice porridge, ate a few pastries, and said lightly:

"Yesterday evening, Song Yuanxi already knew that you and I were in the palace, but this morning he didn't express his position or not accept my conditions, it seems that I miscalculated your status in his mind, and a person like him will not have a weakness at all."

These words are obviously adding to Jiang Wanxiu's blockage, although intellectually he doesn't care about Mrs. Qingyu's words, he still has some mind in his heart, but he said:

"That's because I was brought into the palace by my wife in full view, and if anything happens to me in the palace, it will be counted on my wife's body, so ...... The prince knows that the lady will not do anything to me, and she can't do anything to me, at most she will lock me up for a while, but she can't lock me up for the rest of my life, so she can't threaten the prince at all. ”

Seeing Jiang Wanxiu's slightly cunning expression, Mrs. Qingyu sneered, and glanced at Jiang Wanxiu lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

At noon, Jiang Wanxiu applied needles to Yun Yuji again, compared to yesterday's confusion, today he is a little more sober.

Because of the emperor's will, let Mrs. Qingyu go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to accompany her to dinner, so at this time, there were only two people under the secret room, Jiang Wanxiu and Yun Yujian.

"Yu'er didn't embarrass you."

Yun Yujian's voice was hoarse, rough as sandpaper, which was a sign that the vocal cords had not been cured after many years of cuts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxiu said lightly: "In addition to locking me in the palace, other delicious food and drink are waiting, but they don't embarrass me." ”

Seeing the little girl say this, Yun Yuji's eyes were far away, staring at the candle flame jumping on the stone table, and said, "She's ......"

When he said this, Yun Yujian's tone paused, and there was a hint of lingering meaning in his words.

His eyes were deep, as if he was recalling something.

Then he said, "If she has something to embarrass you, I can't compensate for her, Yu'er, she did this, after all, for me." ”

Seeing Yun Yuji's sincere tone, Jiang Wanxiu didn't want to have anything to do with Yun Yuji, and after the needle was over, she asked a little puzzled:

"What kind of grievances do you have with Song Yuanxi? Why did Lady Qingyu have to arrest me to threaten Song Yuanxi? ”

Seeing the little girl's curious gaze, Yun Yuzhen smiled and said: "The matter between us is not something that can be said in a few words, Qingyu resents Song Yuanxi because of me, she only sees the surface of hatred, although Song Yuanxi calculated us, but also helped us, if it is really calculated, no one owes anyone." ”

Jiang Wanxiu listened to Yun Yujian's specious words, and couldn't help but pout, which was equivalent to not saying it.

After Jiang Wanxiu packed up her things, she carried the lantern and was about to go up, but was stopped by Yun Yuji, "You...... Be careful in the palace, although I know she doesn't actually have any ill will towards you...... But because of me, Qing Yu can do anything. ”

Yun Yujian's worry was from the heart, Jiang Wanxiu nodded after listening to Yun Yujian's words, and her good impression of him increased a little.

After lunch, Jiang Wanxiu took a nap in the side hall for a while, but there was still no news of Song Yuanxi.

After waking up here, Jiang Wanxiu was bored in every way, and when Mrs. Qingyu asked her to enter the palace, Xiling didn't let her bring it, and there was no one around to talk to relieve her boredom.

"The girl is awake." Jiang Wanxiu just woke up, and Liu Xin came in with freshly picked lotus seeds.

Liu Xin is a clever person, and said with a smile: "This is prepared by the palace, the emperor knows that Mrs. likes to eat, so he rewarded some down, and Mrs. asked me to send it over to the girl to satisfy her hunger." ”

Mrs. Qingyu was still with the Heart Cultivation Palace and did not come back, but she was cautious and even left Liu Xin in the palace to watch her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxiu smiled, ate a few lotus seeds and did not speak.

"If the girl feels bored, she can go for a walk in the garden." Seeing that Jiang Wanxiu ignored her, Liu Xin didn't feel embarrassed, and with an appropriate smile on her face, she proposed.

Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu's heart moved: "Can I go out for a walk?" ”

After all, she is used to being unrestrained at home, and she has always been bored in the palace.

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Madame invited the girl to the palace as a guest, and she didn't restrict where she wanted the girl to go." ”

Jiang Wanxiu's mind moved, so she got a haircut and prepared to go out.

Although Liu Xin said that Mrs. Qingyu did not restrain her freedom, she would not let Jiang Wanxiu walk around the palace alone, and immediately followed behind Jiang Wanxiu.

"Where does the girl want to go to the palace?" Liu Xin asked.

Jiang Wanxiu thought for a while and said, "I rarely come to the palace, and I am not familiar with the scenery in the palace, I just want to go out for a walk." As he spoke, he paused and said, "Just don't meet the queen and princess." ”

Liu Xin is a clever person, after listening to Jiang Wanxiu's words, he also thought of the contradiction between Jiang Wanxiu and Nan Xinran that he had heard before, so he thoughtfully proposed: "Now that the water of this Taiyue Pond is clear, it is better to go boating on the lake." ”

It's not bad to go boating in this kind of weather, Jiang Wanxiu nodded.

The rules in the palace are strict, and boating on the upper lake of Taiyue Pond is not for anyone, and it is necessary to come according to a certain grade.

In his previous life, although Jiang Wanxiu went to the palace many times because of Song Chen's relationship, he was never able to raft alone in Taiyue Pond.

Liu Xin here is just an order, and by the time Jiang Wanxiu arrives at Taiyue Pool, the boat is ready.

Although Taeak Pond is called a pond, it surrounds the entire Imperial Palace, and the scenery from the pond is exquisite, with pavilions and pavilions.

At this time, the weather was not too cold, and the breeze was blowing, and the originally depressed mood was much better.

Jiang Wanxiu was pulling the petals and teasing the koi in the pond, when a song came from the water at this time, and the voice was beautiful and tactful.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanxiu asked puzzledly: "Where did this singing come from?" ”

As the boat moved, I got closer and closer to the voice, and I could hear what the woman was singing.

"The car is far away, the horse is longing, the king travels to the east and the east of Shandong, and Ande flies to the west wind."

This tone and melody are the songs of Dongyue Kingdom, and then Liu Xin said: "This is Quhe Garden, it should be that Xiyuan Hou is drinking and having fun." ”

Since the assassination of An Bogong, Xi Yuanhou was terrified, so he moved from the other garden to the Quhe Garden in the palace, and the guards were doubled.

Quhe Garden is a garden built by the old emperor to enjoy the flowers in the spring, although it is in the imperial palace, but outside the inner palace, it is a residence for those nobles of noble status.

Originally, after the end of the debriefing in the capital, Xi Yuanhou had to return directly to his fiefdom, but because of the assassination, Xi Yuanhou was originally timid, so he lived in the heavily guarded palace before the assassin was caught.

This lotus garden was built by the old emperor shortly after he first ascended the throne, the old emperor was very fond of this place, and no one was allowed to enter the garden for half a step, but for some reason, after a few years, the old emperor rarely stepped into this lotus garden again, and then the queen was in charge, and the lotus garden was used as an envoy to receive various countries.

There is a cloud pavilion in the Quhe Garden, which is the tallest building in the palace, and from the cloud pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of all the grand scenery of the palace.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the Cloud Pavilion here, the beautiful singer sings a tactful ballad, the voice is as beautiful as a yellow bird, delicate as a warbler song, although it is the height of summer, but it is the bones of the people are soft.

Xi Yuanhou leaned on the soft couch, several beautiful dancers around him or hung their shoulders and pinched their legs for him, and a charming woman in a gorgeous costume held a glass of wine, gave Xi Yuanhou a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, how is my sister's singing." ”

Xi Yuanhou's eyes narrowed into a slit, and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

The woman smiled slightly, there was a drop of cinnabar on the tip of her eyebrows, and she was even more amorous, and said: What about Jin'er's wine? ”

"Okay, okay."

With a greedy smile in his eyes, Xi Yuanhou took the thin waist that Ying Ying held into his arms, rubbing the delicate skin outside, and his chaotic eyes were full of drunken dreams.

The people around him seemed to be used to it, and their faces were as usual.

was messing around with the dancing girl, Xi Yuanhou inadvertently raised his head, his eyes fell on a certain place on the lake, the blood on his face faded, the golden cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the wine in the cup spilled all over the ground.

But Xi Yuanhou didn't seem to notice it at all, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"Master Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" Jin'er and Xi Yuanhou were frolicking, but they didn't expect Xi Yuanhou to look at the lake, ignore her, and ask with a smile.

The woman who had just been holding on to the mahogany sandalwood board and singing had already received it, and looked at it with Xi Yuanhou's gaze, but saw that there was a flat boat on the surface of the lake, and there was a girl wearing a turquoise skirt on the boat, with picturesque eyebrows and a quiet temperament, although she was young, she was also a stunning beauty.

Immediately after that, she sneered, and her body was placed on Xi Yuanhou's body without bones, and she said with a smile: "What else can you do with Master Hou, you must be stunned by the beauty." ”

The beauty threw herself into her arms to give such a good thing, but Xi Yuanhou avoided it, let the woman pounce in the air, and then pushed away Jin'er who was leaning on her body, her voice trembled a little, and she pointed to the woman on the boat and asked, "Who is Grandpa Xiao?" ”

Xiao Ran glanced at the lake, still with a humble smile on his face, and said, "Master Hou, that is Miss Jiang, the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, who came to the palace to play the piano for Mrs. Qingyu. ”
