Chapter 357: The New Year Has Arrived
At this hour, it was not yet time to light the lights, and the backlit room was a little dim.
Liang Wanping retreated from the rest of the people, and only sat face-to-face with Mu Yan.
She clenched the note tightly with trembling hands, staring at the simple words on the paper in a daze, looking at them word by word, and did not dare to take her eyes off for a moment, for fear that the light would be dim and everything would be her hallucination.
"He's not dead." Liang Wan didn't raise her head, nor did she make a sound, only her lips moved.
She was responded to by silence.
"Mu Yan, he's really alive."
She said it again, smiling, but the handwriting on the paper was blurred with tears.
Liang Wan didn't know how Mu Yan reacted, and what the expression on her face was.
She only knew that her heart seemed to come to life in an instant, but this did not make her feel happy, but was suffering from Ling Chi's punishment.
Liang Wan looked at the note, Mu Yan looked at Liang Wan, and the room was so quiet that it seemed to be empty.
They sat still for a long time, and no one said anything more, only the room became darker and darker.
It's almost dark.
Liang Wan raised her head, looked at the person opposite, and made sure again: "This news must be true, right?" ”
Mu Yan's eyes were firm, he nodded vigorously, and gestured with his hand: Their news will not be wrong.
Liang Wan smiled slightly and bowed her head slightly, yes, their news will not be wrong.
"But for so long, he is alive, but he has never told me or come to me, how much do you think he hates me?"
Liang Wan opened her eyes wide and kept smiling, but tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and her face was already wet.
Mu Yan met her gaze, shook his head slightly, thought about it, and comforted: there may be some kind of hardship.
Liang Wan lowered her eyelashes and stared at the words on the paper again, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is any hardship. ”
She raised the corners of her mouth and whispered, "I just want him to live well, and that has never changed." ”
Mu Yan watched silently, he hadn't asked about many things, and she hadn't talked about them, but he could see clearly that her heart was never on the emperor.
Liang Wan wiped away her tears and raised her head, her red eyes were translucent.
She turned her head and called out of the hall, and immediately someone walked in.
"Light the lamp."
The entire inner sanctum was soon immersed in a lit candle flame, filling the room.
The firelight reflected the orange red of the people's faces, and small flames also ignited in the dark eyes.
Liang Wan looked at the note in her hand, smiled lightly, and lit it on the candle flame, Mu Yan was taken aback and wanted to reach out and take it down.
Liang Wan smiled and shook her head: "I just remember it in my heart." ”
Mu Yan glanced at the palace people who were still lighting the lamp, picked up the paper and pen on the desk, and wrote: Don't you want to look for him?
Liang Wan threw the burning note into the slag hopper, in fact, if she didn't look for him, he would be safe.
But......
Liang Wan lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen, she is now in a witch Gu, and she doesn't know the way in the future, so she should leave a way back for the child.
No matter how Lu Xiu treated her and whether he hated her or not, she knew that he would definitely treat this child well.
Because this is his child.
Liang Wan was silent for a moment, if she could really send the child away safely in the future, she would not have to be restrained in her actions.
She thought for a while and said, "Mu Yan, can I help you heal the wound on your face?" ”
Mu Yan was stunned and looked at her in surprise, they had said that before leaving the palace together, they would help him heal the injuries on his face.
Does she want to leave at this time?
But she was caught in the Gu, how could she leave?
Mu Yan eased his nerves, glanced at the palace people in the distance, and then fell back to Liang Wan's face.
Liang Wan's eyes blinked: "In a few days, it will be the New Year, I really want to go out of the palace to take a look, do you want to go?" ”
Mu Yan frowned and looked at her, could it be that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the palace?
*
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, farewell to the old and welcome the new, inside and outside the palace, everywhere is full of lights, all filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
From the beginning of the year when the two countries were at war, to the end of the year after the abolition of the witch Gu, all the twists and turns in this year, the turmoil continued, and there was really no stop, so the queen mother not only invited the monks to the palace to preach Buddhism, but also ordered the harem concubines to go to the lecture office every day.
It is because of the palaces and halls, not only the palace people are busy, but even the concubines are not idle.
Qi Shang Buddhism, even if Liang Wan doesn't believe it, there is no way to avoid it, and she has to go hard.
What's more, the Queen Mother is still staring at her.
After Cao Ruomi was deposed, the news of the re-establishment spread far and wide, and the highest voice was naturally Zhaoyi Lu Wanying, as for her, some people mentioned it, but not much.
Liang Wan knew that those people were all serving high potentials.
Gao Qian also began to promote and reuse her brother-in-law and the Xue family as mentioned before.
Whether it is used as cannon fodder or used to block the sword, Liang Wan feels that it doesn't matter.
Since they want to enjoy this privilege and wealth, they have to take the risks that may arise.
Fair enough.
She didn't really care, but my sister was really surprised.
According to her secret investigation, in order to prevent herself from being cruel to them, her sister deliberately took the initiative to befriend Princess Guangping for shelter.
Who would have thought that instead of making it difficult for them, it was the emperor's grace who came to the door one by one, and the sister and the Xue family were flattered, and the sister even sent the news to her several times, wanting to take the little prince into the Hanguang Hall to thank her, but she refused.
When she entered the palace to thank her, she couldn't say anything, so her sister ordered someone to send a lot of children's clothes, shoes and hats into the palace.
She can choose not to use it, but blindly refusing will only attract the attention and suspicion of others.
In addition to chanting and chanting Buddha for several days in a row, the palace also set up large and small palace banquets.
At this time, it is not easy to be in the limelight, so she chooses not to participate unless necessary.
Every time the excuse of prevarication is either to study the medical case or make medicine, or to be unwell, even if it is clumsy, it can be mixed up, who would have thought that this is actually in the heart of the Queen Mother, I wish to take the opportunity to raise Zhaoyi Lu Wanying, and even when she claims to be sick, the Queen Mother will send someone to visit her.
Since the death of Mrs. He'an, the Queen Mother often ordered Princess Guangping to enter the palace, which has the meaning of appeasing and being close, and sometimes she will be called by the Queen Mother several times, every time she goes to Lu Wanying, she always looks like she loves to ignore her.
It can be seen that the relationship between Princess Guangping and Lu Wanying is not good.
Therefore, everyone is normal in front of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother leaves, it must be their own yin and yang weirdness, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
Liang Wan was too lazy to deal with such a painless little method, so she only acted as deaf and dumb, pretending to be stupid, and the two of them were fighting each other.
I don't know if the Queen Mother has been secretly observing, and after so many mutual scoldings, her attitude towards her has improved, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
It is very important to dispel the precautions of the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the delivery period is approaching, Liang Wan is really busy.
During the day, the most I did was to look through the recipes written by the old woman in prison, but from beginning to end, I didn't see anything related to this Gu.
There is no way in the palace, she estimates that she may be able to let Song Tan help inquire outside the palace, and it is better outside than the palace where the news is closed.
She had already mentioned the matter of leaving the palace, so she mentioned it again, and Gao Qianyun allowed it. (End of chapter)
