1. Caged birds

Next Chapter

The plum is red through the apricot blossoms, the flowers in the palace are in full bloom, only one side courtyard is covered by the bamboo forest, slightly thin and cool.

An aunt in a housekeeper dressed in a fancy costume walked this way, followed by a little palace maid wearing makeup.

There is a plaque on the door that reads "Changqiu Palace", and the door of the hall is closed. The housekeeper's aunt knocked on the door, only to hear a faint female voice inside: "Come in." Then he pushed the door in.

There is a jade statue of Guanyin at the main entrance of the hall, holding a rosary, the fragrant flower beads on both sides are enshrined, the lights of the shadow hall are often continuous, and the smoke is swirling.

The woman who had just spoken was in the left wing, facing the mirror to make up, the gold hairpin jewelry on the table was piled up, and only a hosta pulled up her long hair.

My aunt glanced at it and asked aloud: "Miss Yang, the Holy Lord sent the blue jade earrings for tribute today, do you like it?"

She sat there steadily, fiddling with a thin silk with inscriptions, and said lightly: "Auntie, the Hongnong Yang family has declined, and I am not a young lady from a high-ranking official family anymore, and now I am imprisoned in this palace as a musician, you still call me the character Chenghui, or they call Yu Sile with them." ”

She glanced at the makeup in the palace maid's hand, and sneered: "As for what kind of gold ornaments and earrings are these, the inheritance of the emblem is thin and blessed, so the emperor should keep it for himself." ”

The aunt wanted to say something, but she interrupted: "Auntie, I'm tired, so I won't send you." When she had said this, she bowed to the aunt of the housekeeper, and without looking back, went inside.

When she got out of the wing, the little palace maid next to her asked her aunt: "Auntie, Yu Sile speaks openly, she doesn't have to look at the reward given by the saint, just now you called her Miss Yang again, isn't she called Yu Yu?" Hongnong Yang's young lady, how can she be in the palace?"

The aunt in charge glanced at her with a headache, and just said: "The master's affairs, how can our subordinates speak, everything she commands, let's do what she asks, how can there be so many problems." ”

When the little palace maid heard this, she lowered her eyebrows and responded: "Yes." ”

Yu Yu returned to the inner room, wiped a pair of chess pieces, and said to himself: "Master, you taught me to play chess and teach me how to govern people, but I eventually became an outcast on someone else's chessboard. I've always heard you say that I lack a heart, and I don't care. But now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. ”

She let out a long sigh and put the pieces back on the chessboard.

Not long after dinner, Yu Zhi was fiddling with those tea sets, when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Yu Sile." ”

The shrill and screeching is disgusting.

Yu Yan was disgusted in his heart, and the lackeys beside the traitor moved out slowly, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold: "Princess, let's still say that it is lively today, and one or two are rushing to my broken yard." ”

The prince flattered and greeted: "Yu Sile's talent and style, the emperor appreciates, I know that your master is a chess officer, and I want you to succeed the master, this is also a beautiful talk, thousands of people in this palace have been busy for decades, and the emperor can treat him..."

"Yo, chess to be edicted, he is big-hearted, I'm really not afraid that I will take his head, I called my aunt to send jewelry earlier, and this night I sent you to give me an official, you say this is a pleasure, I think it's dirty to say that it's unlucky, you can do it yourself." Yu Yu turned around and left.

"Our family knows that the last time you ran out of the palace and were arrested, you were dissatisfied, then the emperor knew, magnanimous, not only did not punish you, but also asked Tai to heal your leg injury, you should also appreciate it..."

Yu Zhi stopped when he heard this, suppressed his anger, with a bit of mockery in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I still have to thank him, don't I?" If it weren't for him for the Dark Guard to break my leg and the Imperial Doctor to pick it up, I wouldn't be the same as I am now... Besides, if there is no Yang family for me, how can he sit firmly in a high position, it is nothing more than that,"

She paused and glared at the minion, "The stolen country is just a traitor." The gods in my temple are noble, and I can't see anything dirty, so please go back. ”

After driving the prince out, the door of the palace was closed, and only the sound of jade glass breaking in the hall was heard, and the woman cried and laughed wildly: "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking." ”

The cries are like cuckoos crying blood, and they are extremely cold.

The eunuch at the gate of the courtyard saw the prince coming over, and stepped forward in a low voice and asked: "Chitose, this Yu Sile is afraid that he will lose his mind and go crazy after being arrested, and he will lose face like this." ”

Wang Gonggong screamed: "Yu Sile, now he is the dog who lost his family, there is no puppet to be at the mercy of, he is just a living dead, and he is crazy about what he gains, it is all a disguise." ”

The next day, the palace maid who was cleaning the courtyard found Yu Zhi lying on the ground, her lips chapped and her eyebrows locked, so she called the imperial doctor to come and see her. I fell asleep for a long time before I woke up.

His face was bloodless, he opened his mouth to speak, his throat was hoarse, and a palace maid beside him handed him a cup of tea, which only got better after drinking it, and he didn't have anything good to say: "The imperial doctor is here, I have a cheap life, I don't need the imperial doctor, go back to the imperial hospital." ”

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and persuaded: "The girl's old injuries have not healed, and now she is too tired, if she doesn't find a doctor, I am afraid that she will fall into the root of the disease." ”

Yu Yu looked at the palace maid, her face still did not change, and she raised her chin towards the door, and the imperial doctor did not dare to be disobedient, so she hurriedly walked out.

When she saw the imperial doctor walking away, she picked up the dagger under the pillow and put it against the palace maid's neck, her eyes were fierce: "Say, who sent you?"

The palace maid did not show any timidity, looked directly into Yu Yu's eyes and said: "In Xiayuan, a member of the Northern Jin Commando, a dead soldier under General Yang, when the Yang family was wiped out two years ago, Yu Yandu performed a task at that time, and when the task was completed and returned to Lin'an, it was already a matter of fact. ”

"How do you know I'm here." Her gaze was cold and merciless, like a blade glittering with cold light.

The palace maid took out a thin bamboo tube from her cuff and handed her the note inside.

Yu Yu took it and looked at it, hesitating in his heart, it was indeed the second brother's handwriting that was good.

It's just that the handwriting can be imitated.

She put the note away, shook her head with a smile, and said, "In the past two years, many people have claimed to be my second brother's subordinates and come to negotiate with me. ”

The palace maid did not hesitate or think for a moment, approached Yu Yu, and lowered her voice: "There is a tattoo on the inside of the lower arm, mixed with cinnabar, carved into the bone and blood. If you still don't believe me, then continue to tell you below, today's Nanyuan Tower in Lin'an City, the depths of the hundred flowers in Gusu, and the Hongbin Inn in the clouds are all Yang's eyes and ears, and the latest task I got told you that you are trapped here. ”

Yu Yi looked at it, picked up the empty teacup next to her, slammed it on the door, and shattered in response, she scolded angrily: "I know, another lackey who probes the wind, go back today and tell your master, so that he has the life to come and ask me in person." ”

Yu Yu grabbed the palace maid's collar, pulled it closer to her ear, and said quickly: "Two hours after dinner, come to my room from the backyard, remember to be careful." Then he pushed it away, his eyes full of disgust.

The palace maid understood what she wanted, so she also ran out of the door crying.

It didn't take long for this thing to happen, and the news of a cup of tea had already reached the emperor's mouth.

The emperor is young and handsome, his eyebrows are invisible, and they are all conspiracies.

He played with the pen in his hand and asked the prince playfully: "Is there such a thing?"
