It had been a few days since Lao Yu woke up, and when she knew that the Queen Mother was gone, there was no expression on her face. sent the palace people who took care of themselves. I went to the queen mother's bedroom and silently cleaned up the things used by the queen mother.

This comb was given by a relative when the Queen Mother first entered the palace, and the Queen Mother received a lot of good combs later, but she has been using it. It's made of fine wood, and even after all these years, it's just a comb or two. It was too thick and very distressed after seeing it, and it was even more careful to protect it. Lao Hao once asked if this comb was given by someone special? I thought that the Queen Mother would say that it was given by a close friend in the boudoir. As a result, the Queen Mother's answer was that it was the only one she loved her brother. It was the eldest brother in the family, and he was very different in age, and he was rarely seen. I didn't see it until I was ten years old. After saying that, he smiled bitterly, and then he didn't know what he thought, and smiled nostalgically.

The old man carefully wiped the comb clean and put it away.

Picked up the hairpin next to it. That's what the first emperor had worked with. It was the first and last time, which gave the Queen Mother hope and disappointed her.

After tidying up the dresser, she went to make the bed again. I cried when I lay it. She remembered that she had covered the quilt for the Queen Mother, who always loved to kick the quilt, every night before. When she also entered the palace, she was not familiar with everything in the palace and was assigned to the queen mother, at that time, the first emperor still rarely came to the queen mother, and gradually stopped coming.

The Queen Mother is always waiting and waiting. In those days, the Queen Mother slept late, and no one wanted to accompany her. Did the Queen Mother bring any dowry rings to her, and the people around her were all given by the first emperor. The Queen Mother didn't have a special fancy for any palace people around her like other mothers, and she didn't believe anyone, and she didn't say much. It's just that he will say a little more in front of the emperor, and he won't say much about other people. As a result, it has been ostracized by many people. It was only later that it slowly got better.

Since they were new to the school at that time, they liked to push things they didn't like to do for her. In this way, Lao Hao also accompanied the Queen Mother. Sometimes when the Queen Mother fell asleep, she helped cover the quilt, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would find that the Queen Mother had kicked the quilt off. Silently covered her with the quilt, and it was like this until one day she found out a little late, and the Queen Mother had been awakened by the cold, and saw that she was covering the quilt for herself. didn't say anything, and the next morning she became a personal palace maid.

The Queen Mother knew that she was always called to do things, so she disposed of the few people who always treated her like this.

Gradually, he has been with the Queen Mother for decades.

It's okay in this way, the queen mother died in front of her, which can be regarded as a peace of mind.

Lao Yu sat on the ground next to the bed, silently looking at the bed, silently crying.

When she returns from the Queen Mother's side, she finds that Arlinn has not returned with her, and thinks she is still in Cining Palace, so she sends someone to find her. But after looking for a long time, I didn't see Arlinn, and then Xie Xinxin sent someone to say that the queen was invited, so I had to put down Arlinn's business first and go to Xie Xinxin first.

This time is the most idle time to see Xie Xinxin, when I saw her in the past, I either had a bunch of ledgers at hand or a little doll holding her. It's not idle at all.

Xie Xinxin saw the sacrificial dance and directly beckoned people to come and sit, "When the palace sent someone to look for you this morning, you just went to Cining Palace." How about it, the Queen Mother didn't embarrass you, right? Xie Xinxin can still guess a little bit about the purpose of Sima Liangyi's sacrifice and dance in the palace. Since it's my son who wants to do it, let's help it.

Sai Wuqing replied lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Xie Xinxin nodded: "It's okay, the Queen Mother is the most difficult to deal with in this palace." If you are still called by her in the future, if you can't deal with it, ask the people around you to find the emperor. He can still spoil you now, and he won't watch you being embarrassed. ”

The sacrificial dance was a little surprised by Xie Xinxin's straightforward words, how could Xie Xinxin help himself so much.

Xie Xinxin continued: "If the emperor ......"

Xie Xinxin didn't know how to say it anymore, she had been brewing this sentence in her heart for a long time, and she had been thinking about it since she knew that the sacrifice was a person from Yixiang Courtyard.

The sacrificial dance looked at Xie Xinxin, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, Xie Xinxin still couldn't say that thing, it was difficult for a strong man.

"Concubine Jin has been gossiping a lot in the palace recently, did you offend anyone by entering the palace. First it was Concubine De's business, then it was Concubine Tang, and now it's your turn again. You're so indirectly ......"

Xie Xinxin's words were not finished, but the sacrificial dance already knew what she meant, so she said: "The concubine doesn't know, but this matter is said to have been passed from you, Niangniang." I think Niangniang should still check the people in the palace. ”

Hearing the sacrificial dance say this, Xie Xinxin's face turned white, and he never thought that the sacrificial dance would come to this point. It was all from her when she spoke, but she herself didn't know until much later. Indeed, he was not well disciplined.

It can be said that the courage to speak now is getting bigger and bigger, and it is just not to give the queen any face. That is, the queen doesn't care about these very much, otherwise the enemy of the sacrifice and dance will pull another one.

Xie Xinxin's face was not very good-looking: "Then do you remember who you told about this?" Who are you still at odds with in the palace? ”

I thought about it, and I didn't say anything to anyone, but if I didn't get along with anyone, it was too much, and for a while, I really couldn't tell who in this palace would have a good relationship with me.

"This matter will not be in a hurry, and the concubine will solve it." Sai Wuqing felt that this was the queen, and she was more or less unaware, and it was not a good thing for her to know too much.

Xie Xinxin insisted on seeing the sacrificial dance, and he didn't want to let himself get involved. I don't ask any more.

The sacrificial dance has been coming back from Xie Xinxin, but he still hasn't seen Arlinn return to the Jinming Palace.

Looking at the empty room, the priest frowned, and thought about calling someone to ask again, just in time to see Bai Zhou and Arlinn walk in.

Bai Zhou felt the gaze of the sacrificial dancer and looked at her, and there was no warmth in the sacrificial dance's eyes.

"Where did you go?" Sacrificial Dancer asks Arlinn.

Arlinn thinks of what she just heard, and she is a little afraid to look at the dance, and she speaks in a hesitant manner: "I didn't go anywhere, but the Queen Mother's people stopped me." ”

Arlinn's weirdness arouses the suspicion of the Sacrifice Dance, but the Sacrifice Dance has something else for Arlinn to do: "Go and send this letter to the Prince." ”

Looking at the new hand in the sacrificial dance, Arlinn didn't take it, but asked in a daze, "Niangniang, does this have to be done?" Now that you're still in such a situation, I think the matter between you and the prince should be settled. After speaking, he looked at Bai Zhou with a strange look in his eyes.

Bai Zhou felt her gaze and quickly turned his head and glared at her.

Sai Wuqing didn't see the weirdness between the two, but said very resolutely: "Have you forgotten a lot of things?" ”

It's not that Arlinn has forgotten, it's that she thinks it's too hard to do, so why can't there be any other way? Why is it necessary to do such a decision.

Arlinn bites her lower lip and doesn't squeak.

The sacrificial dance will know just by looking at her appearance.

"Don't forget, you're still the eldest lady of the Wen family, don't forget what you said when you saw me on the first day!" Dance's harsh words seem to wake Arlinn up.

Bad memories flood into Arlinn's mind. It wasn't that I had forgotten it, but I just didn't want to remember it.

Arlinn takes the letter from the sacrificial dance with an ugly look on her face, and nods vigorously, "I know, I'll never do it again." ”

The heart of the sacrificial dance is also relieved.

Instead, Bai Zhou is a little worried that Arlinn will tell the priest about what she just knew. Now the whole person is a little uneasy.

When Arlinn goes out, she sees that there's another person there, "What are you doing here?" ”

Bai Zhou looked deeply at the eyes of the sacrificial dance: "Pavilion Master......"

Before he could start speaking, he was interrupted by the sacrificial dance.

"This palace is not the pavilion master of the Water Shadow Pavilion now, and you will not be called the pavilion master of this palace in the future." The words of the sacrificial dance were undoubtedly like a knife stuck in Bai Zhou's heart, making him feel a faint pain in his chest.

"Yes, sissy." Bai Zhou forcibly endured the discomfort and spoke, and the words he said were not what he originally wanted to say: "I just came to ask Niangniang when she will return to the Water Shadow Pavilion." ”

With such an upside-down question, Bai Zhou didn't even look at him when he asked the sacrificial dance, and he wanted to drive people away.

"No, it's not, I don't mean that." Bai Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to say, Niangniang, do you still want the things you put in the Water Shadow Pavilion before?" ”

I don't remember what else I have in the Water Shadow Pavilion, and even if I do, it's not worth coming back, "Don't do it, you just throw it away, you don't have to come to the palace to ask for advice." ”

Throw it away? This sentence is so smooth to say? What do you mean by not wanting anymore? Didn't that happen in the Mizukage Pavilion before? Now, still ......

Bai Zhou felt as if his throat was blocked, and said with difficulty: "Niangniang, I will come to the palace to accompany you soon." After saying that, he hurried away.

The sacrificial dance looked at Bai Zhou's back, and he didn't react for a long time.

Life in the palace is not easy, a very ordinary thing, if it is placed in the ordinary people's homes, everyone gets together, and says how this matter should be at one time, if it is in the palace, then this matter is one after another slowly asked. I would like to inquire about this and the purpose of each of you.

Sima Lanting came to the harem under the pretext of coming to see his mother's concubine, and happened to meet the sacrificial dance at the imperial garden.

He had known that the dance was a matter of Yixiangyuan, and he was not as surprised as they were. On the contrary, he also knew the true identity of the sacrifice dance. He was just about to step forward when he saw Sima Yucheng coming with a group of people behind him.

The sacrificial dance also saw the two of them, due to the special position and angle, Sima Yucheng couldn't see himself, and just wanted to avoid it, he heard Sima Lanting's voice: "Concubine Jin, what a coincidence." Still laughing casually like that.

Sima Yucheng heard the voice here and looked over. Even if he wanted to hide, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, glanced at Sima Lanting hatefully, pretended to have seen him just now, and responded: "See the prince." ”

Sima Yucheng coughed, and then pretended to see others, and saluted with Sima Lanting.

When the sacrificial dance was in love, he also looked at Sima Yucheng's face by the way, and saw that his face had begun to turn yellow now, and his cheeks had lost a lot of weight.

"Concubine Jin, Zheng is just looking for you." Sima Yucheng spoke in a soft voice.

Sima Lanting looked at Sima Yucheng after hearing this, and then pulled the corners of his mouth with a small arc.

Sai Wuqing didn't speak, she knew that Sima Yucheng would definitely look for her.

"It is rumored in the palace that you are the one who came out of Yixiang Courtyard." Sima Yucheng Yin Xian thought about it before saying this.

Sai Wuqing nodded, indicating that this was it.

Sima Yucheng saw her movements, and raised his hand very tiredly, "I know." ”

Just when everyone thought that it was going to be over like this, the people behind Sima Yucheng walked forward after he raised his hand and said that sentence, and stopped on both sides of the sacrificial dance.

"From now on, Concubine Jin will be confined to the Jinming Palace, and within three years, she will not be allowed to leave the palace without an order." Sima Yucheng felt that he had been deceived, and he couldn't say what he had been deceived.

The sacrificial dance did not speak, and it was Sima Lanting who asked on the side: "Father, has this matter not been investigated and Concubine Jin has been convicted like this?" ”

Sima Yucheng didn't expect Sima Lanting to come out and talk back, he turned his head to look at Sima Lanting and said, "Concubine Jin's matter has already been admitted by herself, what else to check!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves.

"But what if someone has a heart to frame you? You also know that Concubine Jin is now a big tree, and many people in the palace are looking at Concubine Jin. Even in the court, there are many people looking at Concubine Jin. It's not right for you to put people in this position all of a sudden, and now you want to get out of it. "Sima Lanting didn't say as many words in front of Sima Yucheng as he did today.

The relationship between the two was originally very complicated, and it became even more incompatible after the sacrificial dance became Concubine Jin. Sima Lanting can be said to be able to go if he can't go to the early dynasty, and if he can't meet, he can't see it. Sima Yucheng didn't care much. Seeing that he always refutes himself, he is also irritable in his heart, and if he doesn't see it, of course, it can be regarded as saving a worry.

Fortunately, Sima Lanting is usually used to refuting him, so now he is not too suspicious of interceding for the sacrificial dance: "Then tell me who wants to harm her?" If you can say it, then even if Concubine Jin just recognized it, Zheng will treat her as being persecuted. ”

Sima Lanting hurriedly replied: "Of course, which one of you in this palace doesn't regard Concubine Jin as a thorn in the flesh?" Even if you ask any random person now, they will know that the queen did it. I only found out about this matter when I went to the queen's palace. ”

At first, I listened to his belief in it, and I thought that he really knew who spread it. I didn't expect him to say that it was the queen. This is most clear here in the sacrificial dance, it is possible for anyone, but it is impossible for the queen. If the queen wanted to say it, she wouldn't help herself enter the palace.

Sima Yucheng asked coldly: "What about your evidence?" ”

Of course, Sima Lanting has no evidence, but in order not to be locked up, he can only talk nonsense: "If you don't believe it, you can let the queen mother come over to confront you now." ”

If the queen is allowed to come over to confront him, Sima Lanting's lies will be self-defeating. However, Sima Lanting looked confident.

Could it really be Xie Xinxin?

Of course, Sima Yucheng went back to ask the queen, but the first thing to deal with at this time was the sacrificial dance. He said perfunctorily: "I will ask the queen about this, as for Concubine Jin, I still have to be grounded now." As for the rest of the matter, I'll wait until the time comes to ask clearly. After speaking, he left without waiting for Sima Lanting to say anything.

Leaving Sima Lanting to watch the sacrificial dance being taken away, he stood alone and watched.

In this way, the sacrificial dance was brought into the Jinming Palace.

Arlinn watches as the priest goes out alone, and now when she comes back, she looks like she's been escorted back.

"Mother, what's going on?" Arlinn whispers in the Dance's ear.

The two men at the door, also with dutiful hands, did not come in at the door.

"It's okay, it's grounded." The tone of the sacrificial dance is light, as if this is not a big deal.

Arlinn is relieved when she hears this.

originally thought that after the sacrificial dance was grounded, she would be able to stay in the Jinming Hall quietly as she behaved, but at night, the person disappeared. Luckily, Arlinn found out, and if the others had been in a hurry, they would have been yelling in a hurry.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the moon had already risen, and the sacrificial dance in a night suit slowly returned.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sima Lanting sitting at the table waiting for him, and he was startled, picked up the dagger in his hand and stabbed it.

Fortunately, Sima Lanting's reaction was fast, and he grabbed the hand of the sacrificial dancer, and stopped just when the dagger was about to stab him. "It's me." Sima Lanting was still afraid that she would continue to act, so he opened his mouth to admit.

After hearing that it was Sima Lanting's voice, the tense body of the sacrificial dance slowly relaxed, and he wanted to withdraw the hand in Sima Lanting's hand.

Sima Lanting felt the action of the sacrificial dance and clenched the sacrificial dance even more, but the sacrificial dance suddenly let go of his hand, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground like this.

Sima Lanting discovered the strangeness of the sacrificial dance, and hurriedly tore open the sleeve on the wrist of the sacrificial dancer with his other hand, and then the moonlight saw that there was bleeding.

In fact, the wound was very small, so it can be said that it was accidentally scratched. It was on the way back that he met the Praetorian Guard, who was seen, and they fought. In order to get out quickly, the sacrificial dance is much faster than before, and the flaws are also seen. She had no intention of fighting, so she thought of a way to get out. But in the end, I accidentally cut my wrist.

If Sima Lanting hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have cared so much about the dance alone.

Looking at Sima Lanting's cautious appearance, Sai Wuqing couldn't help but feel a little funny, and withdrew his hand when he wasn't paying attention.

Sima Lanting felt that his hands were empty, and he was a little regretful.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to go in and out of the palace at will like this at will. If someone finds out, my grounding will be a lifetime. My Jinming Hall has become a cold palace. The sacrificial dance said with a cold face.

Sima Lanting knew that she was driving people away, and her tone was gentle as if she was comforting her frightened lover, and said: "Niangniang, then I just came to see you, has anyone found out, how can it make Jinming Hall a cold palace." ”

Sai Wuqing knew that Sima Lanting was very good at these rhetoric, so he said: "This is the harem, if you don't leave now, I will call someone to arrest the assassin." Even if they are grounded now, there will still be people who will come in and arrest assassins! "It's like a threat.

Looking at the sacrificial dance in a night dress, Sima Lanting certainly knew that she would not be able to scream. So he was even more cheeky and said, "Niangniang, it's a little bad to disturb other people because of such a trivial matter." ”

The sacrificial dance looked at the person in front of him with dark eyes, and said slowly: "I'm about to start, a ...... 2. ......"

Sima Lanting counted with her, and he didn't panic, he just didn't believe in the sacrificial dance and dared to shout.

"Three ......" As this sound was heard, the sacrificial dance began to shout: "Come ......"

Even before a word could be uttered, Sima Lanting covered his mouth.

Sai Wuqing looked at the person close at hand, and felt that he was talking close to his ear: "Don't shout, I'll just go." What should I do if someone sees your clothes? ”

The priest then quickly shook off his hand, took two steps back, accidentally hit the bed behind him, and suddenly fell backwards. Sima Lanting wanted to hold the sacrificial dance, and with a strong belt, the person came to his arms.

Feeling a gentle warmth, he was so frightened that he hurriedly pushed people away.
