On October 1, the 36th year of Dajing Tianbao, the moonlight of this night was just right, when the cold and secluded moonlight shone on the glazed tile surface of the Dajing Palace through the looming clouds, a cluster of broken shadows penetrated between light and dark, as if there were ghosts sneaking on it.

In the palace, ten steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, there are palace lights and candles every other zhang, within a few feet, even the hairpin flowers that the palace maid fell on the ground are clearly visible.

In an instant, the clouds moved and the moon dimmed, leaving many shadows in a large area where the candlelight could not be illuminated. Duan Qianqiu's figure was like an illusion in the moonlight and water shadows, in these dark shadows, shuttling and fast, one moment blending into the rockery, one moment hiding next to the pillar in front of the hall, and the other hiding under the shadow of the flowers and trees, and the embroidered guards and Yulin Jun patrolling beside him were unaware.

This was the third night that Duan Qianqiu had hidden in the palace, and he had gone to Pudu Cihang's residence to investigate, but there was no trace of Pudu Cihang for three consecutive days.

Pudu Cihang's residence is in the outermost part of the palace, just an ordinary side hall, very inconspicuous, but as long as people live in the palace, they will be repeatedly told by the chief eunuch that this side hall must not be entered, because the holy master does not like others to disturb. If you break by mistake, you will be at your own risk.

Duan Qianqiu rummaged through this side hall, and in addition to the scriptures, there were a bed, a few chairs, and a few sets of monk's clothes. People who live a simple life to this point don't usually have much to pursue in life.

If these pursuits can be called ideals, then what else can the "ideal" of Pudu Cihang have besides the supreme Dharma of the unity of heaven and man and the purification of all sentient beings?

Duan Qianqiu had asked himself this question countless times, and when he speculated about Pudu Cihang's motive for assassinating his grandfather, he also wanted to find out the answer to this question.

There are only two people in the world who can make Pudu Cihang make this move, one is himself, and the other is Yang Heng.

Since Pudu Cihang was not there, Duan Qianqiu decided to ask Yang Heng directly.

Yang Heng's dormitory is easy to find, it is the largest palace in the harem - Yuanji Palace.

Standing at the main gate of the harem, looking at the past, the most majestic, the most splendid and magnificent hall is the Yuanji Palace, such a palace, no matter where it stands, is very recognizable. But it's easy to find and useless, unless you have the confidence to kill the one hundred and thirty-six Yulin soldiers around Yang Heng's dormitory in an instant, eighty-three embroidered guards, as well as the three friends of Sui Han, Zhou Dunyu, and Li Cunxu, the general of the Southern Guard Army who patrols and guards the periphery from time to time, otherwise, the consequences of breaking into the emperor's bedroom will be very serious!

Duan Qianqiu knew that under the protection of this "luxury lineup", it was absolutely impossible for him to approach Yang Heng unknowingly.

So he continued to wait, he waited for the moment when cracks appeared in the tight protective cover.

One night, he finally arrived.

The place where Duan Qianqiu lives during the day is the residence of the eunuchs in the palace, and these places are loosely guarded, with Duan Qianqiu's martial arts, even during the day, it is unlikely that he will be discovered. Second, these eunuchs walk in the palace all day long, are familiar with what is happening in the palace, and will unconsciously reveal some useful information when communicating with each other.

The wild history in the palace is usually the most talked about, and some of the more absurd and glamorous anecdotes are mentioned, especially the pleasures of men and women between the emperor and the concubines and palace maids.

Duan Qianqiu couldn't help but pay more attention when he heard some little eunuchs mysteriously discussing a new woman entering the palace on Liang. Because of this woman's name, he sounded very familiar.

"Wan Yanrong?!" a little eunuch let out an almost piercing cry after listening.

Another little eunuch who was talking with a fluttering eyebrow hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "No, that woman's name is Yanrong, not Wanyanrong." ”

The little eunuch who listened to the story touched his heart with his hand, pretending to be "coquettish" and said: "I'll just say, except for the previous Empress Wan, the emperor doesn't allow other women to call Wan Yanrong the name, how can there be another woman like this for no reason?"

"Don't say it! I heard that this woman's appearance is at least nine points similar to that of Empress Wan, and her dancing movements and demeanor are almost the same, if you don't know, do you think that Empress Wan is not dead?"

"You just brag, even if you look like it, how can you even look like ......"

"Hehe, I heard that the emperor is going to Lutai where that woman lives tonight, I don't know if her body is also like Queen Wan, hehe......"

Duan Qianqiu didn't listen to the rest of the words.

He decided to sneak to Lutai and meet Yang Heng.

Lutai is a royal hunting mountain villa, more than 80 miles away from Yehuang City.

It is said that all parts of the deer are very beneficial to the vitality of the man's body, so every emperor will hunt at the turn of summer and autumn, in order to catch live deer and eat flesh and blood to strengthen the vitality of the body.

The terrain of Lutai is flat, and the forests around the manor are guarded by forbidden troops, in addition to preventing people with bad intentions from doing things that are unfavorable to the royal family, there are also intentions to hunt all kinds of wild animals in the hunting grounds. After all, the emperor is coming to hunt, and if he can't even surround a roe deer, it would be too undignified.

Duan Qianqiu walked in the forest at night, quickly approached Lutai Villa, and after some twists and turns, when he entered the village, it was already the middle of the moon.

There is a high platform in the village, the eaves corner above the high platform are hung with palace lamps, there are lampposts around the railing, the niche cage of the lamppost is burning rosewood, the fire is magnificent, and its fragrance is intoxicating. There are several palace maids under the lamp, playing the sheng and playing music, and there is a woman on the stage dancing with the music, dancing like a fairy, and her appearance is radiant, as if a fairy in the sky has landed in the mortal dust.

After a round of music and dancing, the woman stopped dancing and bowed down according to the high north, and the warbler said like a song: "The little woman has finished dancing with a green jade flute, and she has not practiced for a long time, and the left and right sides are staggered, which makes the saint smile." ”

"Yang Heng is really here!" Duan Qianqiu, who was hiding on a tall tree on the side of the high platform and couldn't see the whole situation on the high platform, said secretly in his heart.

Yang Heng, who was full of purple hair, stood up and laughed: "Yanrong, you are too humble, your dancing posture is fascinating." It's been a long time since I've seen such beautiful music and dance. I really want to make time stop at that moment forever. ”

The woman who called Yanrong chuckled and said, "If the emperor likes it, Yanrong will jump to the emperor every day." ”

Under the light, the woman's appearance can only be seen on the side face, which is not very clear, but Duan Qianqiu has a familiar feeling. (To be continued.) )
