On August 3, the weather was gloomy.

After an autumn rain, the weather became cooler. When he woke up in the morning, Liu Yu did not rush to go to the palace to take office, but went to the Nanpaper Shop to pick up the yellow paper. Then he stayed alone in the study for a long time until Yang Lie, the new right commander of the Imperial Guard, came to him to enter the palace in person.

"General Liu, the emperor has approved the appointment and removal memorials of generals and officers at all levels of the Imperial Guardian Army you submitted. Now the new general is waiting for your lecture at the Imperial Guardian Academy."

The change in the position of an imperial guard officer this time was not too big, and the promotion was only one level. Liu Yu did not include many confidants.

"There is nothing to teach. Please let Commander Yang You give me instructions and let them go to their new positions to get familiar with them. Some low-level positions need to be assigned."

Yang Lie rushed to the Imperial Army's schoolyard, while Liu Yu went to the palace. Because Dongye Gate was closed, Liu Yu had to go over and walked to the south gate. Before he arrived at the Imperial Army's yamen, he saw Qi'er's eyes red and was sitting on the steps waiting for him.

"Brother Liu."

When he saw Liu Yu, Qier rushed over and hugged him. He was worried about his mother's affairs for a whole day and night, and Qier was almost unable to hold on.

Liu Yu comforted him again, but Qi'er still held him tightly. Although the guards did not know Qi'er's identity, even the little palace maid, Liu Yu's behavior was "in chaos in the palace" and was inappropriate. Of course, no one dared to be a tongue-in-law unless he didn't want to protect his job.

I hugged the palace maids, but I didn’t have any substantial relationship, and I was not in the inner court. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would only scold him.

Liu Yu saw the persuasion, so he had to take her to find Han Sheng to see if Han Sheng could help. Han Sheng stayed in the palace all night and was about to go back to rest, but he was still embarrassed when he heard Liu Yu's request.

"It's okay to go and see me, but you can only go alone." Han Sheng yawned, "If you go, just treat it as helping me investigate. The commander of the Imperial Guard, it's just a matter of reason."

Qi'er is content to know whether her mother is safe. She is not demanding to see it with her own eyes, and looks at Liu Yu with anticipation.

"Qi'er, please wait here. I will follow Mr. Han to see your mother." Liu Yu instructed before parting.

The three concubines were temporarily detained in a palace in the inner court. They were warehouses on weekdays, so few people came. There were guards and female officials guarding them at the door. They had to salute Liu Yu and Han Sheng when they saw them.

"Open the door, I'm going to go in and ask questions." Han Sheng said.

The female official opened the door lock, and Liu Yu walked in behind Han Sheng. Han Sheng gave a few words and asked him to come out after reading it. He also pointed out the room where Meiren was imprisoned and handed him the room key.

The three concubines were kept separately and rested. Qier's mother Lin Meiren was locked on the second floor of the palace. Liu Yu went upstairs. Before he could reach the door of the room, he heard a beautiful song and paused to listen, as if he was singing an opera.

The tune of "Colorful Wings Butterfly" is about a lover traveling to the lake to enjoy flowers, asking whether the flying butterfly can be paired up to express his love. The first half is a comedy, with a misty rain building and a broken bridge, and an umbrella is borrowed in the rain, like a white snake meeting Xu Xian, while the second half is a tragedy. Because the two have a huge difference in background, the dream is hard to come true. The man died in depression, and the woman also jumped into the lake to commit suicide, "the colorful butterfly left in the sky."

Most folk songs are about love, and such dramas will never be performed in the palace. If the palace maids and concubines have a mortal heart, wouldn’t the harem be in chaos? Liu Yu didn’t know where Meiren Lin learned this tune, and the singing was very graceful. After listening to it, he couldn’t help but hear the sadness in the heart of a lonely woman in the harem.

Meiren Lin is lucky. She has a daughter, and her daughter can always be with her. For other palace maids who were favored by the emperor and were abandoned as if they were abandoned after being favored by the emperor, she had at least relatives around her. Qier's obedience and sensibility also came from Meiren Lin's careful teaching.

Liu Yu opened the door lock and pushed open the door. Meiren Lin was still singing. Not only was the tune imitated vividly, but the movements were also like singing an opera on the stage. After turning around with wide sleeves, he was shocked when he saw Liu Yu standing at the door and almost stood still and fell to the ground.

"careful……"

Liu Yu rushed forward, grabbed Lin Meiren's hand and raised it up. Lin Meiren stood firm. As soon as he was stable, Meiren Lin immediately thought of this as a taboo. She immediately pulled her hand back and flicked her temples, gathering her fear and anxiety, Tingting saluted.

"General Liu..."

"The queen is so kind." Liu Yu bowed quickly, "It should be the minister who saluted the queen."

Meiren Lin looked up at Liu Yu and looked at him with a slight smile. This eager gaze made Liu Yu feel a little uneasy. There was a special smell in this gaze.

"Qi'er always mentions Commander Liu in front of me." Meiren Lin spoke very slowly, neither anxious nor impatient, and elegant and calm, with the unique calmness of the women in the palace.

Liu Yu understood that Qier was a girlish girl, and she would express her joy and sorrow in front of her close relatives. It was rare that Qier fell in love with him, and Qier's mother looked at him like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"I was entrusted by the 14th princess to see if the empress is safe." Liu Yu said.

Lin Meiren suddenly felt a little disappointed again. She probably thought that the guilt might be inevitable. She would not be able to see her daughter in the future and said a little worriedly: "If I am not here, please take care of Qi'er more..."

Logically speaking, Qi'er's identity is special, and Meiren Lin will definitely not give her daughter's comfort to an outsider to take care of her, and she does not have such qualifications. But now, she is just like an ordinary mother, entrusting her daughter to her daughter's favorite person when she dies. This is the only thing she thinks she can do.

"I... obey the order."

Liu Yu knew that this poisoning case was basically difficult to clear the suspicion of Meiren Lin. It was a unsolved case itself, and the most likely person to poison was the supreme emperor, and the emperor would not let the truth be revealed.

"What else do you have to bring to the Fourteenth Princess?" Liu Yu didn't have much time, so he had to choose the key points.

Meiren Lin looked as calm as before the disaster. She picked up a wide brocade handkerchief from the table, which was densely packed with words embroidered on it. Meiren Lin was as innocent as a child on her face: "When I was nine years old, I invited a opera troupe at home and sang for a few days. At that time, I was still a child and I don't know why I sang, but the sentence "Colored Wing Butterfly" attracted my heart like a magnet. After hearing it, I couldn't forget it. Later, I begged my mother, and my mother went to find the sister who was performing the opera and copied the lyrics. After two years, my mother embroidered it intermittently on the brocade handkerchief."

Although Meiren Lin's tone was calm with longing, Liu Yu could still hear the bitterness during the period.

"That empress's mother..."

Meiren Lin smiled happily and said, "My mother was sick and could not get up after only half of her embroidery. Another year later, her mother left. Two years later, I was selected into the palace. This brocade handkerchief was the only close item I brought from my home. Commander Liu, can you... hand it over to Qier as a gift from me to her before leaving?"

Meiren Lin seemed to be explaining her funeral.

"I obey the order." Liu Yu took the brocade hand and felt that it seemed to be of a huge weight. He carried the hope of the two mothers for their daughters, hoping that they could find someone who truly loves to accompany her to the end of her life like in the first half of "Colorful Wings Butterfly". Unfortunately, Meiren Lin had a miserable life, and the palace gate was locked, and she could no longer do what she wanted, so she hoped that her daughter would not follow her footsteps.

When Liu Yu was about to leave, Meiren Lin seemed to have settled her mind and asked with a smile: "Teacher Liu is also a person who likes to listen to operas? When we met that day, we heard your lyrics, 'As soon as we entered the palace gate, Xiao Lang is like a passerby from now on'. Many days have passed, but we still cannot forget it."

Liu Yu also smiled and said, "I have indeed learned some of them before, but not many of them are fragmented."

Meiren Lin sighed, "After entering the palace, I listened to a lot of dramas, but unfortunately I was all together, not as touching as Commander Liu. I wonder if Commander Liu would give me a few more words before leaving? Is it okay for me to leave?"

Liu Yu knew that Meiren Lin was not trying to listen to the play, but was looking forward to the beautiful world outside and could look for beautiful and moving love like the people in the play. For a woman in her thirties, the love contained in her heart would not be reduced by the locked palace gate.

"I have indeed learned one before, but the tune is not the ordinary tune of opera. If you don't sing well, please forgive me."

Looking at Meiren Lin’s expectant gaze, Liu Yu sang:

"The cool breeze is trustworthy, and the autumn moon is boundless. I miss you and my sorrow are like passing through the sun like the year.

The young actor named Liu is named Wen Yan, and he loves the beautiful girl next door Yun Yanyan.

Seeing Qu's voice, color and character, people admire Qu's love, and they also have both talent and appearance.

Today, it is difficult to meet each other, so the lonely boat is silent in the evening.

You see the setting sun shines on a pair of flying swallows together, leaning alone on the window and thinking quietly.

I heard the autumn sound in my ears and the tung leaves fell, and I could see the cold smoke of the flat bridge.

The two curtains touch the scene and add to your grief. You are worried about the full moon."

Liu Yu sang the sad and beautiful story, and his story was also very touching, but Liu Yu turned the name of the "Twelve Young Masters" into his own, and sang it, as if Liu Yu was telling his feelings to the girl next door.

Even though Meiren Lin repeatedly endured it, she couldn't help but shed tears. Finally, she smiled and said, "I sang so well. Miss Yun's family is so lucky to be favored by Commander Liu."

Liu Yu said ashamedly: "Actually, this Yun Yanyan does not exist, I just sang it casually. In fact, there is still the second half of this song, so I am not suitable to sing here."

In this lyrics, Liu Yu did it intentionally, and the "Neighbor's Girl" was exactly the "Lin Family Girl", and there was a reason for it.

Meiren Lin smiled and said, "The woman responded to the man in the second half of the verse?"

Liu Yu smiled and nodded.

Meiren Lin sighed: "I really hope I can hear this second half again. If I am gone, can Commander Liu ask Qier to write it down and send a message during the worship, so that I can listen?"

Liu Yu could hear that Meiren Lin had the intention of committing suicide. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and said, "Don't worry, Empress, you must have the opportunity to leave the palace and go outside to listen to "Colored Wings Butterfly" again. I will also ask the opera troupe to sing the second half of the verse to you. For Qi'er, you must hold on. I will repay the Empress's innocence and die!" (To be continued.
