Lipin's death was ultimately attributed to accidental drowning. Little Concubine Jin fell ill due to excessive blood loss in the fetus. The queen was scolded for not being able to manage the harem and lost the power to control the harem. The fourth prince did not answer when asked about political affairs in the study room. The emperor was furious and immediately punished him for fifty penalties.

The case was confused, but it was in line with the emperor's wishes. Those who made the mistake were punished and did not involve them too deeply.

Liu Yunxiang also knew in her heart that if she wanted to trip Jin You, she had to uproot the power behind her.

But it is really difficult for her to lose weight.

Since that night, Yan Mu hasn't been here for a long time.

It snowed again last night, and the weather became colder. The emperor sent someone to send two marten velvet cloaks, and the empress dowager ordered Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi to give one to Princess Heshuo.

This Princess He Shuo did not live in the six palaces of the east and west, but in the inner city outside the palace. From the Hanghuamen in the West Back Garden, she passed a long corridor and arrived at the Rumeng Pavilion where she lived.

Because Princess Heshuo had no position and lived in the palace in an unruly manner, but had a valuable status and was favored by the emperor, she opened a small door in Xihouyuan and placed her in the quiet Rumeng Pavilion.

"But why didn't the emperor vote for Princess Heshuo?" Wanyi said in confusion.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "Maybe Princess Heshuo is unwilling?"

"Why?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, but she thought that she was so beautiful, so gentle, and kind-hearted. If she really became a concubine of the emperor, it would be a pity.

After passing through the corner door at the end of the corridor, he arrived at Rumeng Pavilion, and a maid led them into it.

This Ru Meng Pavilion is full of winter plums, and it is the season of blooming, clusters and flowers blooming like flowers. Especially yesterday it snowed, covering the sky and the ground, the snow contrasts with the plums, the snow becomes whiter and the plums are more delicate.

At this time, the wind came and the snow fell down, which made people's eyes fascinated, but the fragrance of flowers was clearer in their breath.

The road is not long, and it seems that it has reached the end soon, but after a turn, it will be another world. It seems like walking in the plum blossom array, turning in a daze, and then suddenly finds that it has arrived in front of the yard.

After entering the yard, you can still see two plum blossoms, but they are different from the beautiful red plums outside. These two are simple plums, with white petals and melting with the snow last night.

"Wait, wait, I will come in and report." The person who kept Liu Yunxiang and the others in front of the door.

As the maid opened the door, Liu Yunxiang heard the sound of clanging wooden fish. In the quiet, she suddenly seemed to be outside the world, transcending between heaven and earth.

After a while, the sound of the wooden fish stopped and the maid came out.

"Our master invites you two into the house."

Liu Yunxiang and Wanyi entered the house. Although there was a brazier in the house, it was really cold. There was no furniture. There was a Buddha statue hanging in the main hall, with a table offering underneath, and the Buddha incense burned on it.

Princess Heshuo knelt on the cushion, and was supported by the maid. Maybe she had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs were soft when she got up.

"Mrs. Lao Hu is worried." Her voice was very soft and a gentle smile. "I have something for the Queen Mother, so please both of you to bring it back."

As the eldest princess walked towards the west room, Liu Yunxiang and the others followed in. The inner room was very warm, with warm collapse, arhat beds, a makeup box, a few paintings hanging on the wall, and a man's clothes hanging on the screen.

Princess Heshuo picked up the book from the desk, "This is the Diamond Sutra I copied in golden ink for the Queen Mother. You should hand it over to the Queen Mother for this palace."

Wanyi stepped forward to take it, Princess Heshuo remembered something, and walked out again, "By the way, you can bring a few plum blossoms back for the Queen Mother."

When Princess Heshuo walked out, her legs and feet were not very neat. Every time she took a step, she frowned. She came outside and tiptoed to break the plum blossom branches.

“This branch is blooming well.”

Seeing that she was a little troubled, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to help, "This branch is blooming well."

Princess Heshuo tilted her head and looked at her, "Do you like this plum blossom?"

"like."

Princess Heshuo broke a few branches, "I'll give these branches to you."

When she returned to Luohan Palace, the Queen Mother looked at the Diamond Sutra and the few plum blossoms and smiled and said, "She has the heart."

Liu Yunxiang mentioned the pain in Princess Heshuo's leg, and the queen mother sighed: "According to her, it's an old problem. Go and find Zhou Lihuai and ask him to give him a box of ointment. When you look back, you will send it to Rumeng Pavilion."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes."

The next day, Liu Yunxiang went to the Imperial Hospital to get the ointment and sent it to Rumeng Pavilion.

The small gate of Rumeng Pavilion was open, and there was no guard. Liu Yunxiang thought about it and went in, walked along the path in the plum forest, and got old. After a while, he couldn't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.

At this time, there was a sound in front of him. Liu Yunxiang thought he was a servant, so she hurriedly ran over a few steps and turned a corner and saw the emperor coming with his guards and eunuchs. She hurriedly bent down and retreated aside.

The emperor was already drunk after drinking, and was shaking his way, muttering something while walking.

"She likes plum blossoms, so I planted the plum blossoms in the garden for her, but she didn't appreciate it and hung herself on the plum blossom tree. I buried her with my own hands. I originally wanted to burn this Ru Meng Pavilion, but I couldn't bear it. Now I finally have a new master. Haha, I don't have to do it, no, never!"

Fortunately, the emperor did not pay attention to the palace maid who retreated aside and left with drunken words.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, thinking to himself who is this 'she'?

She continued to walk forward, thinking about things in her heart, and then she went astray. When she came to her senses, she found that she had walked on a small path, with red plums blooming everywhere, and she could not see the road at all.

It was a cold day, and she didn't want to be trapped here. She hurried back, but soon walked to the fork in the road. She hesitated for a while, and gritted her teeth and walked towards her right.

The plum forest is very dense, and the beautiful plum blossoms are squeezed one by one. When you walk by, a trace of breath can blow off a few petals. It seems that you are getting deeper and deeper. Liu Yunxiang was thinking about whether to go in another direction, but at this time, she seemed to see something through the layers of plum blossoms.

She lowered her body, got into it, and then looked up and it turned out to be a grave.

The grave was covered with snow first, and it was covered with bright red plum petals. A stone tablet stood in front of it, with four words "Yanyan's Tomb".

Yanyan?

It should be a woman, and her nickname.

Liu Yunxiang remembered the two drunken words that the emperor had just said. This woman named Yanyan should be the original hostess of Rumeng Pavilion. Because she likes plum blossoms, the emperor planted plum blossoms in the garden for her.

But this woman was hanging...

Liu Yunxiang looked at the tombstone and suddenly had an idea, but she didn't dare to look at it carefully. She felt cold all over her body when she thought about it.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the plum blossoms fell down with snow. Liu Yunxiang looked up at the front and saw a high wall.
