A few concubines in the big family can make trouble with chickens and dogs, let alone more than 30 concubines.

Wei Jingji never mentioned it in front of her, and if there was really any treachery, he would have been liquidated by him.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was peaceful, and the shadow was stretched at the bridge of his high nose, and the bottom of his eyes became dark and calm.

Su Yao listened, and unconsciously remembered what Xiao Wei Jingji looked like.

It should have been younger than when she first saw him.

When he was wandering, his body was taken into the man's arms.

Wei Jingji hugged her, his strength was very light, as if he was afraid of hurting her, he lowered his voice in her ear and said slowly.

"Stay with me."

Without her, how would he survive the long nights and the cold to the bone?

Su Yao didn't answer him after all.

Wei Jing could have guessed that she was pretending to be asleep, but at the moment she couldn't find a better way to avoid the question.

Fortunately, he didn't insist on an answer.

Wei Jingji waited for a while, and when she heard the sound of her deliberately evenly adjusted breathing, it was only a moment.

He thought, he couldn't push her too hard.

It's a long time coming.

……

Before the hour, Su Yao got up, changed into green clothes, and waited in front of the Buddha hall early.

The Buddhist hall in the palace is located in the corner, separated from the palace by a wall, the monks take turns to worship incense, and when the female dependents are almost here, the virtuous concubine stands in front of everyone and says: "Except for the concubine, now it is all here, the concubine is waiting for the decoction in front of the saint's bed, we don't have to wait for ......."

As she was talking, Concubine Shu's sedan chair arrived, and she smiled and said: "What did Sister Xianfei say, this palace is just serving a few times of decoction, how dare you take Qiao and not come, just rely on the saint to treat this palace so leniently, this palace is broken leg, and it can't help but come." ”

Concubine Xian also smiled: "Look at what my sister said, this palace only understands my sister's hard work and wants you to rest more, but my sister's mouth, I don't pay attention to what I said." ”

"My sister is stupid, if I make my sister unhappy, please take care of my sister more, and wait for the saint to ......," said the concubine, pinching the handkerchief and wiping the corners of her eyes, "When the saint is fine, my sister will go to my sister's place to ask for sin." ”

Concubine Xian said: "My own sister, why don't you ask for sin?" ”

The two of them asked and answered, and they were really good like sisters, holding hands and laughing with each other.

Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

Su Yao was tired when she heard this.

In the past, she was really blinded by the □□ of those words, and she was bent on marrying Wei Jingji, but now that she thinks about it, even if she sits in the back seat, what is the fun.

After the virtuous concubine and the concubine Shufei finished arguing, she said: "It's not early, come in, remember what the palace said." ”

Su Yao followed everyone and responded: "Yes." ”

……

After the early dynasty, Wei Jingji stood under the corridor and watched the officials of the lower dynasty branch on both sides of the royal road paved with white marble, and walked in pairs.

The tall golden silk nanmu pillars are the bones, supporting this huge and simple palace.

Liang Yuan stood half a step behind him and said, "Your Highness, the prime minister admits that everything was done by him, but if he asks for death, will he hand it over to the criminal department?" ”

Wei Jingji said: "No need. ”

Liang Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and echoed: "What Your Highness said is very true, now there are a lot of complaints about Your Highness's detention inside and outside the court, and it coincides with the saint's ill life, so as not to arouse suspicion, it would be better if it could be relieved for a while." ”

In the days before the death of the old emperor, there were always turbulent and turbulent thrones, and I didn't know how to change the variables.

Gao Qizhi has a very high prestige in the DPRK, and if he were executed at this time, it would inevitably be uneasy for the people's hearts to be disturbed, and it would be the best choice to keep it secret.

Just as he was about to retire, Liang Yuan heard Wei Jingji speak again.

"Let him go."

Liang Yuan was stunned, "But Your Highness ......"

Wei Jingji's expression was indifferent: "Let it go." ”

Wei Yuan walked among the officials of the lower court, and he was taller, but he did not show oppression, giving people a sense of elegance and gentleness.

The left prison guard Zhonglang said to Zhang Zhe: "The prince has really done something this time, Gao Xiang has no wife and no children, what do you want to do with the yellow and white things of Laoshizi?" ”

The sturdy man next to him thought it was Ke Zhengwei, the right minister.

"There must always be a place for recreation for all the military salaries that are greedy, and I have worked with Qizhi for decades, and I have never seen him have a day of arrogance and indulgence."

Wei Yuan pondered: "Even though I also trust Gao Xiang as a person, the greedy money and the people who collude with him are inextricably linked to Gao Xiang. ”

"The minister said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a little anxious, he takes the military generals too seriously, where can he have the patience to listen to the arguments of our literati, unless the old minister hears Qizhi admit it himself, otherwise it will be a saint to investigate, and the minister will not believe it."

Wei Yuan said with a smile: "Master Ke is upright, but haven't you forgotten that General Zhang is still here." ”

Zhang Zhe said repeatedly: "Xiaguan also thinks that what Master Ke said is very true. ”

……

At the time of unitary, the chanting is completed.

Before going to the Wutong Palace, the first to pass through the Zhongling Palace, Su Yao walked with the virtuous concubine, and after the concubine finished chanting, she went to the palace of nourishing the heart non-stop.

On the palace road, Concubine Xian was chatting with Su Yao about Shenghua, "That girl, she has always had her own ideas, the palace is in the palace, she can't help her, you are outside the palace, and the prince is favored by you, if someone is unhappy with Hua'er, you should also protect her more." ”

Su Yao nodded: "If Sister Shenghua needs me in anything, I will naturally do my best." ”

Concubine Xian smiled meaningfully, looked up again, and stopped an imperial doctor with a medicine box on his back.

"Imperial Doctor Huang, please stay."

Huang Deshan is the most skilled imperial physician of the Imperial Physician's Department, and has always been responsible for diagnosing the pulse of the saint.

Because Concubine Xian had spoken a few kind words for him in front of the saint in the past, sparing his life, the relationship between Concubine Xian and Huang Deshan gradually became acquainted.

As soon as he saw that it was Concubine Xian, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Weichen has seen Concubine Xian." ”

When he saw the girl with beautiful eyes beside Concubine Xian, Huang Deshan only reacted slightly, and continued: "I have seen the crown princess. ”

Su Yao also nodded at him.

Concubine Xian said: "You just checked the pulse of the saint?" ”

Huang Deshan said: "Exactly." ”

"How is the saint's health?"

When he heard this, his eyes showed embarrassment, and he looked at Su Yao, as if he wanted to say something.

Concubine Xian said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Huang Deshan then made a gesture and said: "Judging from the pulse of the saint, it has not improved, but there are signs of physical decline, and Weichen can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Concubine Xian seemed to be incredulous, took half a step back, and said, "The saint played against the palace the day before, and fell asleep the day after, how did he get to this situation." ”

Su Yao listened to the words of the imperial doctor, thought of Concubine Shu, and thought of Wei Jingji, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

She has a very keen instinct for some things.

Huang Deshan sighed and said: "Concubine Niangniang should not be too sad, the saint's illness, the medicine is in vain, since the mother asked Weichen to say, then Weichen can say to you bluntly, if God has mercy, the saint may wait until the early spring, if Yama is ruthless, after the first day, he will have to resign himself to fate." ”

Time is running out.

Now that November is approaching, it is only March when it comes to the first day.

I suddenly remembered that day in the Hussar General's Mansion, the girl in red was trapped in the room, holding her hand tightly, her breath uneven, as if a drowning person was trying to save herself.

[Ah Yao, if they force me again, I won't accept my fate. 】

Su Yao's Lingtai was instantly clear, and the thoughts that had not settled suddenly cleared the clouds.

She couldn't help but think that if she was going to leave like Ru'an, then the most suitable day for March would be Chinese New Year's Eve.

After the palace banquet, the curfew is removed.

That was her only chance.

Chapter 48

Su Yao seemed to be listening carefully to the two of them, but in fact, a pair of eyes were not in focus.

The thoughts of escaping together, just thinking about it, my heart is hot and nervous.

Concubine Xian instructed Imperial Doctor Huang again, turned to Su Yao and said, "Ah Yao, go back, this palace needs to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to take a look." ”

Su Yao saluted and watched her leave.

When I returned to the Sycamore Hall, it was completely dark.

Aunt Qiong had the dining room prepare dinner early, just waiting for the people to come back, and there were many dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Dongpo pork, braised coconut white, West Lake vinegar fish, stewed crab roe lion's head...... They are all famous Jiangnan side dishes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered, he will eat outside, let you eat first."

After Su Jiaerlang died on the battlefield, his grandmother made the decision and moved his family from the capital to Jiangzhou, which is close to the south of the Yangtze River, and the famous cuisine is not known.

Looking at the food in front of her, Su Yao gradually fell into deep thought, if she wants to leave, how should she go?

She wasn't even skilled at horseback riding.

If she goes by water, how can she find someone to help?

"Crown Princess, would you like to try it?" When Aunt Qiong saw her distracted, she came over to get chopsticks for Su Yaobucai.

Su Yao thought to no avail, took the chopsticks, picked up a lion's head, and ate it in small bites.

Halfway through dinner, there was a welcome sound outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wan An."

The young man's deep and melodious voice sounded, with a calm and relaxed heart.

"What about the crown princess?"
