Liang Huanqing returned to the palace. In fact, she had long been accustomed to the days when she was the only one left in the palace. To her, Qi Jingqin's expedition seemed to be no different from before. The difference was that she was like a canary imprisoned in the palace.

, when Qi Jingqin was away, she represented the face of the palace and had to be careful in her words and deeds at all times. The heavy rules made her breathless.

But even though she had long been used to it, she still looked dejected when she returned to the palace, as if she had no hope for the day, or in other words, it took too long, there were too long sunrises and sunsets to wait for, and the long night

, I still don’t know how to get through it.

"Princess, please go into the house." Yuebai advised softly.

Several sycamore trees were planted in Linlang Garden, which were said to be gifts from Concubine Mei’s mother’s family when the palace was built. Every autumn, the leaves of the sycamore trees turn yellow and wither, and when the wind blows, it creates a spectacular scene.

Liang Huanqing has been sitting under the sycamore tree since she returned home. Yuebai was worried that she hadn't eaten all day, so she brought a few dishes of snacks over. But when night fell, Liang Huanqing didn't return to the dormitory, and the few dishes of snacks didn't move at all.

Didn't move.

This is the snack they used to fight for when they were in the general's mansion.

Yuebai knew that Liang Huanqing was in a bad mood, so he didn't urge her to eat. But now that it was windy at night, he always had to persuade her to go back to the house.

Liang Huanqing sighed, looked up at the sycamore tree above his head, and said, "I heard from Sister Ruilan that the phoenix tree is a male tree and the tung tree is a female tree. The two stay together forever, which is a symbol of love."

The white moon also followed her as she looked up at the parasol trees above her head, as if she understood Liang Huanqing's sorrow at this moment.

Chu Qi went on an expedition with the prince, and he didn't know how long it would take before he could come back.

"Oh...Princess..." Thinking of this, Yuebai also became upset. She sat down next to Liang Huanqing, and looked up at the Wutong with Liang Huanqing in a sense of loss.

"Pfft." Liang Huanqing looked at Yuebai beside her, feeling that she was usually careless, but now she also had worldly worries, and couldn't help but find it funny.

The master and the servant just cuddled up to each other, watching the rustling sycamore trees shaking down the withered yellow leaves.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Xi received the order to leave the palace early and went to the Qintian Prison to get the list that the empress wanted to see. But she never thought that there was someone earlier than her.

"Mr. He, please go slowly." The head of Qin Tianjian nodded, bowed and smiled, and greeted Eunuch He at the door.

Eunuch He, as the general manager of the palace, came to take the list in person. He thought that something had attracted the emperor's attention. How could the leader of Qin Tian Jian dare to be careless? He hurriedly took the list and gave it to Eunuch He. He wanted to leave Eunuch He to sit down and have a cup of tea.

Asking the emperor carefully why he used the directory would be a good way to prepare himself mentally, but He Gonggong said that the emperor needed it urgently and left.

"My lord, there is no need to give it away." Eunuch He smiled and declined the kindness of the Lord Qin Tianjian, and turned around to go back to the palace.

Turning around, he saw Aunt Yunxi in the palace of Concubine Mei in Yichun Palace.

"Mr. He." Seeing Eunuch He here, Yun Xi thought that the emperor must have sent him to take the list, and said something bad in her heart.

"Oh, Aunt Yunxi." Eunuch He smiled, flicked the fly whisk, and bent down, "What's going on with Concubine Mei?"

They are servants in the palace, and everything they do is for their master.

Seeing Yun Xi's arrival, the head of the Qintian Prison was wondering what happened today. What was Concubine Mei going to do so early in the morning?

"Aunt Yunxi, what are your orders?" The master in charge of Qintian Prison came forward and asked.

Yun Xi was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. Looking at the booklet in Eunuch He's hand, she thought it was the list of saints that the empress wanted. But now that Eunuch He had taken it first, she didn't want to bring trouble to herself.

.

"The queen is worried about the prince, so she wants to come and do some divination for the prince so that the queen can rest assured." Yun Xi casually made up a usable reason and said it.

"Oh~ I see." The master in charge of the Qintian Prison nodded clearly, "Please ask Aunt Yunxi to go back and report to the empress. All the officials in the Qintian Prison have been keeping an eye on the compass since the prince went on the expedition. There are no other bad deeds so far.

Please relax, Madam."

"Hey, okay." Yun Xi nodded. She didn't pay attention to what the Master Qin Tianjian said, and her eyes looked at the directory in Eunuch He's hand from time to time.

After leaving the Qintian Prison Office, Yun Xi quickly caught up with Eunuch He. Eunuch He also slowed down as if he was waiting for her on purpose.

"Eunuch He!" Yun Xi shouted as he jogged.

"Aunt Yunxi." After hearing this, Eunuch He stopped and stood there smiling, waiting for her.

"Eunuch He." Yun Xi stopped in front of him, looked at the directory in his hand, and asked, "Does the Emperor also want to see the directory?"

In Yun Xi's eyes, Eunuch He was one of his own, so he asked bluntly.

Eunuch He nodded and asked, "Does Concubine Mei also want it?"

Yun Xi nodded solemnly, looked around, and saw no one around, so she lowered her voice with relief and said: "The empress said that the woman who danced on the war drum yesterday was the reincarnation of the late empress, so she wanted to get the list to see who it was.

Whose girl? Father-in-law He also knows...My dear mother, she..."

Eunuch He nodded clearly and expressed his understanding: "The emperor wants the list because he also wants to see who the girl who looks like the late empress is. It seems that the emperor has not come out yet, and he still owes the late empress so much."

Yun Xi was silent for a while and asked: "Since the emperor wants the list, my father-in-law will take it, but I also want to have a good relationship with the queen. Can my father-in-law tell me that the goddess on the list is the Miss He family?"

Eunuch He hesitated for a while. The list on the left and right was not a secret, so he agreed: "Hey, that's fine."

They are all servants of the palace, so no one is in trouble.

Eunuch He slowly opened the directory, and Yun Xi leaned her head towards it, fearing that she could not see clearly.

After seeing the names and portraits clearly on the list, Eunuch He and Yun Xi suddenly opened their eyes wide with shock on their faces.

They really saw that three characters in small regular script appeared on the directory, with the three characters "Lu Huiling" written on it. Next to it was the portrait of the person who had entered the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen when he was a hairdresser.

"How...how could it be her?!" Yun Xi couldn't help being shocked.

"This..." Eunuch He was also speechless.

Normally, some official ladies would be entertained at palace banquets. As the daughter of the prime minister, Lu Huiling accepted the invitation without exception. Usually she just thought that Lu Huiling was good-looking and looked like the former empress in her face and eyes. She just thought that they were part of the same family.

I didn't take it seriously because of the similarity in appearance, but I didn't expect that Lu Huiling would be so similar to the late empress after dressing up a little, and that she could look real in front of the emperor and Concubine Mei.

Eunuch He often serves the emperor, and he rarely sees Lu Huiling. He only met her a few times, and he only said that she was the niece of the late empress. Her appearance was very similar, but she never imagined that she would be as tall as she is now when she grows up.

It made the emperor and Concubine Mei think that the queen was reborn.

Eunuch He and Yun Xi looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Presumably the emperor and Concubine Mei would be shocked when they found out that the woman dancing on the war drum was Lu Huiling, the daughter of Prime Minister Lu.

"What?!" As Yun Xi expected, when she told Concubine Mei the matter, Concubine Mei was really shocked, "How could it be her?!"

"Your Majesty, later I went to ask the master in charge of Qin Tianjian. They said that the Prime Minister personally recommended him. They couldn't find a suitable person at that time. When they saw Miss Lu's dancing gracefully, they made hasty arrangements." Yun Xi knelt down.

Said from the side.

"Your Majesty, it's quite normal to think about it. Miss Lu is also the niece of the late Empress, so it's perfectly normal that they look alike." Seeing that Concubine Mei was still in shock, Yun Xi couldn't help but persuade her.
