Inside the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The queen leaned on the chaise longue and listened to the report from her grandmother.

"The queen mother, as you expected, but I didn't let you find out. It's just that the second imperial concubine sent someone to the imperial kitchen and said that they wouldn't let the dim sum or anything be delivered. ”

The queen was closing her eyes and recuperating, but she didn't open her eyes, but said: "It's okay, she has actually hurt her body, but it will be revealed after a while." ”

"It's just, is it really good to do that?"

After hearing this, the queen slowly opened her eyes and looked at the grandmother on the side, "What's so bad about this!" His life was given by the palace, and the palace naturally has the right not to let him reproduce! ”

Mama heard the anger in the queen's mouth, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say anything more.

This time, Ye Shuhua's album sold surprisingly well.

Su Mu only went to pull two guests to look at the album, and soon it spread ten, and fifty albums were sold out quickly.

Ten taels a book, and I earned five hundred taels in one morning.

Su Mu looked at the white silver, and his eyes were straight.

When he reported to Ye Shuhua, he said straightly: "I will follow the owner in the future, what does the owner ask me to do, what do I do!" ”

"Really?" Ye Shuhua looked at him as a fan of money, lit a silver ingot, smiled and glanced at him.

He didn't lift his head, but lit the silver over and over again, and rubbed it again.

"It really can't be true!"

"In the future, the owner will let me go east, and I will never go west!"

Ye Shuhua's eyes flickered, and she said leisurely: "Then I will let you go to participate in the imperial examination, are you willing to go?" ”

Su Mu paused in his action of wiping the silver, and looked at Ye Shuhua: "Why did the owner let me participate in the imperial examination?" ”

"Also? Who else told you to go? ”

Su Mu realized that he had leaked his mouth, scratched his head, and didn't hide it: "It's a friend of mine who is not a friend, I have had a few encounters before, his name is Bo Qian." When I met him the day before yesterday, he also said that I would be allowed to participate in the imperial examination. ”

Ye Shuhua remembered that Li Zhen planned to let Bo Qian persuade him, but obviously he didn't seem to persuade him much.

She remained silent and asked, "Then what do you think?" You don't want to be admitted to the imperial examination? ”

Su Mu returned to his usual routine, rubbing the silver boredly, "I don't know. But now it's good to follow the owner without worrying about food and clothing, and not to participate. ”

"You are a scholar, and I guess there should be more than these small profits."

Su Mu didn't speak, but just glanced at Ye Shuhua deeply.

And when he had counted the accounts, wiped the silver and put it in, he gave it to her.

"Boss, please take a look."

Ye Shuhua didn't look at it, only raised her hand and asked Ji Cui to take it.

Then he got up and left.

It's good to finish talking, and the rest is to wait for him to figure it out for himself.

Soon it was the wax moon.

The sky in Li is even colder, and the qi that comes out of Ha can instantly condense into ice crystals.

Usually at this time, everyone is almost closed.

Even if there is a sun during the day, it cannot melt the ice on the side of the street.

On the contrary, under the sunlight, there is a layer of cold air on the ice, and it looks even colder.

The emperor's body became more and more bad in winter, and it was even worse because of the cooling weather these days.

No longer go to the early court and wait for the emperor's health to improve and then recover, and the ministers are all going to report something.

The Great Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion were quiet, there was no movement, and everything looked like it was business as usual.

Li Zhen didn't go to court, so he and Ye Shuhua rested in the house guarding the stove.

How cold it is outside the house, how warm it is inside the house.

"Bo Qian hasn't said that Su Mu will participate in the imperial examination?" Ye Shuhua asked.

Li Zhen shook his head, "I always feel that he seems to have something else hidden, I thought he was just missing some high-spirited Dao ideals, so that Bo Qian persuaded him to be just right." But that doesn't seem to be the case now. ”

Ye Shuhua didn't speak, took a sip of fragrant tea in her hand, put her elbow on the handle, and looked at the sky outside the window.

The sun was shining, but the wind was as cold as a blade.

"The winter in Li is really cold." She couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, it's cold."

"No need to persuade him, no matter what the reason, let him think for himself, he will figure it out. But, just in case, it looks like I'm going to have to find an excuse to open this shopkeeper. Otherwise, it will be bad for Li Wei to notice that something is wrong. ”

Li Zhen nodded, looked at her again and asked, "The person who wants to harm you behind your back, do you have eyebrows?" ”

"Yes, but, we still need to test a thing or two, but we haven't found the right time yet."

Soon, though, the time came.

The coldest winter in Li is in the first few days of the lunar month, after which the weather begins to warm up, and the Spring Festival is approaching.

The street was once again lively, and everyone was smiling.

After being depressed for several days, Ye Shuhua also came out to breathe.

happened to receive an invitation from Dongfang Yao to come to Liwanglou to watch the drama and listen to the music to eat the latest dishes.

deliberately said that there is also Xi Ziying.

Since she told Dongfang Yao that Xi Ziying might be the person behind the scenes, the three of them have not been together at the same time.

Ye Shuhua also said to give her a try, but she never found a chance to try.

If Xi Ziying is really the person behind the scenes, then she must be extremely careful, this temptation cannot be a temptation that seems to be a temptation, it must be a temptation that is unaware.

Otherwise, it is easy to startle the snake.

So I never got a chance.

As for today, it is unknown whether it is an opportunity or not.

Ye Shuhua thought that the carriage was already halfway away.

Bamboo Shadow drove steadily and fast.

The cold air flowed in through the window, it was very cold, but when it was about to reach Ye Shuhua's hand, it was already heated by the steaming heat of the small stove in the carriage.

When it blows, a warm breeze blows.

Ye Shuhua leaned against the carriage, her body swayed lightly with the carriage, steaming by the heat, but it was warm and a little sleepy.

I closed my eyes in a daze and fell asleep.

She slept very lightly, but deeply.

Suddenly, the bustle of the street faded away, and there was no sound at all, and it was eerily quiet.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Shuhua felt that after a long time, her consciousness seemed to wake up, and she opened her eyes to find herself in total darkness.

She knew that this dream was coming again!

Sure enough, in an instant, the surrounding black faded.

As if the ink had been washed away, the ink-covered scene was revealed, and the sounds of speech and movement in my ears were clear as if they were real.

This was not Liwanglou, she had never seen this place before.

It's like a restaurant, but it's not like it.

The room she stayed in was luxurious and chic, and she could hear the noise downstairs.

She sat on a chair in the room, trying to get up and go out to see where it was, but she couldn't move.

Just when she was puzzled, the door was opened, and the person who walked in, she couldn't see the appearance clearly, but she knew that it was a woman.

The voices couldn't distinguish between men and women, but they could hear what was being said.

"Ye Shuhua, you really damn it! Today is your time of death! ”

"Wait! Why did you kill me, are you Xi Ziying! Ye Shuhua just subconsciously wanted to ask in her mind, but she didn't want to say it.

She can talk in dreams!

The man sneered at first, and the dagger in his hand stopped when it was a centimeter from her heart, and then took it back, and played with it carelessly.

Turn around and sit on the high chair on one side.

Ye Shuhua still couldn't move, she just stared at her with wide eyes.

But I heard her say slowly: "Why did I kill you, don't you know yourself?" Oh, by the way, you've been reborn for days, and you've been blinded by hatred, so you can't see that you've hurt anyone else for revenge! ”

"Even then, you are not worthy to know."

The man seemed to look up and at her, for she could not see her face, nor could she see her eyes, but she could clearly feel the intense hatred emanating from her.

It's the kind of monstrous hatred that wants to break her body into pieces.

The dagger was pressed to her heart again, and she got up from her chair and walked over to her.

The voice was gloomy and terrifying, and he whispered: "Ye Shuhua, you go to die!" ”

As the sound fell, the dagger slammed into his heart.

When I pulled it out again, blood spurted out!

Ye Shuhua didn't have time to say another word, she felt that she didn't have any strength in her body, her brain was blank, and then it was as heavy as lead.

Breathing also gradually stops.

At the same time, she felt as if time had stopped.

I don't know how long it took, maybe for a moment, maybe for a long time, in short, Ye Shuhua's brain didn't listen to the call, as if someone was being sucked backwards, and those past memories were flowing back little by little.

As her memories were drained, her consciousness finally blurred until she lost consciousness.

When she regained consciousness again, she felt the landslide crack, and in short, her body was jolting with the force, and her head was shaking.

His consciousness became clearer, and a voice came from far to near in his ears.

As consciousness cleared, the voice gradually became clearer, right in the ear.

"Miss, Miss! What's wrong with you, Miss! Wake up! ”
