Cining Palace is the largest sleeping palace in the harem except for the Qiyue Palace, which has never been used.

The upper reaches of the Qingyu Lake in the Imperial Garden flow through here, and many flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the river, which is a small imperial garden unique to the Queen Mother.

A few days ago, the lake was frozen, and the river was frozen and no longer flowing.

In order to prevent the back garden of Cining Palace from being flooded, at this time of year, many palace people break the ice overnight and dredge the waterway.

I didn't expect that there would be a problem tonight.

In order to allow water to pass through the palace wall in the backyard, there is an arched hole, and in order to look good, rockeries are erected on both sides that are more than one zhang high.

The rockery has a huge root, which inevitably blocks the water outlet, but except for the ice cubes that accumulate here during the ice-breaking period, the drainage is normal at other times.

Several palace people arrived here, carrying shovels to break the ice cubes and dredge them, but they didn't think that a shovel would poke it down and poke the soft corpse.

People are already soaked.

Cining Palace was in turmoil.

The body was recovered, and it seemed that it had been soaked under the ice for two or three days, the hole under the palace wall was too small, and the river did not flow, so it was stuck there.

Several palace people couldn't contain their nausea, and they crouched on the side retching, and Wuyue repeatedly confirmed the identity of the corpse, with a solemn expression.

She explained to the surrounding palace people not to be quiet, and then went to the Queen Mother to report.

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became gloomy.

The palace is getting more and more chaotic.

After the incident of Mrs. Zhang, she got secret news that the emperor had secretly escorted people back to Beijing for interrogation, and he was going to kill chickens and monkeys at the palace banquet.

This was simply a slap in the face to her face, and there were too many things involved in Mrs. Zhang, so in order to prevent him from saying something he shouldn't say, she asked Wuyue to go to the prison to kill people.

didn't think about it, there were people who couldn't see their faces clearly, and Wuyue was injured, so in order to avoid being discovered, he had to withdraw first.

didn't think about it, Mrs. Zhang still died.

Who is it? The man in black who fought with Wuyue?

Was the queen's poison from him? Did he kill Cheng Jiang?

What exactly do they want to do.

The Queen Mother has been in the palace for many years, and it is definitely not an easy task to be able to act quietly under her nose.

But she couldn't find out where this force came from.

- Terrifying.

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead a little tiredly.

Seeing this, Wuyue stepped forward to rub her shoulders.

"Recently, don't make a move, tell everyone, especially Concubine Jing, that everyone is at peace."

"Yes," Wuyue asked, "Do you want to investigate Cheng Jiang's matter?" ”

"Cheng Jiang is not in charge of Fengluan Palace, maybe no one will find out that she is missing, let's say hello to the Shanggong Bureau first, let them find a better excuse, Cheng Jiang's death cannot be discovered."

"Someone is not good for us," Wuyue frowned slightly, "Let's just swallow this breath?" ”

"Your heart is still too anxious," the Queen Mother's voice echoed in the palace where only the two of them were there, looking extremely empty, "The queen was poisoned just now, or in Cining Palace, and now the people around her are dead here."

"If this matter is investigated, the news will inevitably leak, what do you think outsiders will think?"

"Cining Palace can't be criticized," Wuyue understood, lowering her eyes and blaming herself, "It's because I didn't think it through." ”

"You may still be young and have time to learn, but the crisis will not give you a chance," the Queen Mother sighed, "You are the most trusted person in the mourning family, the mourning family is old, since you insist on staying by the mourning family, you must be very careful and think about it." If the mourning family leaves the world one day, the unfinished business still needs to be completed by you. ”

Wuyue raised her head and exclaimed: "The Queen Mother is only the year of destiny, please don't feel sorry." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, but stopped talking.

Fu Jiao went out of the palace and gained a lot, so happy that she didn't want to sleep after dark for a long time.

First of all, paint, she studied calligraphy with her husband when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she didn't like calligraphy, but she especially liked to paint.

But the day she married into the palace was very hurried, and the queen mother didn't even let her take the maid, and almost entered the palace alone.

No one in the palace understood that she wanted different colors of paint, and she always sent a bunch of things that couldn't be touched, and after a long time, Fu Yao gave up.

Outside the palace during the day, she somehow suddenly remembered that long-sealed hobby.

…… Maybe Li Yan can understand what she means.

God knows how happy she was when the paint was wrapped and delivered.

But she didn't expect Li Yan to deliberately take her micro-clothes on a visit in order to buy her a small animal as a companion.

Is it because of those two big birds in the morning?

Fu Yao hugged the little white dog, and wanted to name it, but his thoughts drifted farther and farther, and his mind was full of Li Yan's expression and face.

The sword eyebrows are sharp, the eyes are as bright as the sky, and when the face is relaxed, there is always a smile on the corner of the lips, which softens the ruthlessness between the eyebrows, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Her husband is really a beauty.

Seeing her master smiling strangely, Mama Zhang couldn't help but worry and asked, "...... Is the mother okay? ”

"Huh?" Fu Miao came back to his senses, and suddenly realized what he was thinking, and his fair cheeks instantly burned.

She hurriedly shook her head and tried to change the subject: "Mama, books." ”

"Mother wants a book?"

Fu Yao nodded.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Mama Zhang felt that the queen had spoken more clearly than before recently, she was a little happy, and then asked, "What book does Niangniang want?" ”

"Name," Fu Yao pointed to the well-behaved puppy in his arms, "look for it." ”

This is to name the little white dog from the book.

Mama Zhang suddenly realized, and hurriedly took a few books that introduced various things, and picked out two poetry collections to take them.

Fu Yao quickly flipped through it, and the candlestick fell by a third and did not find a satisfactory name.

Mama Zhang persuaded: "Niangniang, rest early." ”

The little white dog in Fu Yao's arms was still rubbing her, and she had already fallen asleep, her two black ears drooping, very cute.

She tilted her head and looked at it for a while, finally feeling a little tired, but she didn't know how to get up, for fear of waking up the little white dog.

Mama Zhang couldn't cry or laugh: "You can just move, and the slave maid will put it in the nest prepared by the palace people." ”

Fu Miao thought about it and shook his head.

She pointed to the quilt, motioned for Mama Zhang to take it over and cover it, and found a pillow to put on the table, and fell asleep by leaning on it.

Mama Zhang can't be stubborn, she can only rely on her, Fu Yao seems to be really tired, and she can quickly fall asleep in this position.

The candle flame gradually burned out, and Mama Zhang was about to blow out the lamp, when there was a sudden movement outside the door.

It's Li Yan.
