Yu Changqing had greeted Concubine Yu before, and the palace attendants from Kunhua Palace arrived soon.
Walking along the rugged path in the royal garden of the palace, you will see all kinds of exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty. From time to time, you can see pavilions, pavilions, rockery and stone carvings. Not far away is an artificially dug pool, with a winding white jade stone bridge overhead.
The graceful palace maids came towards them with sandalwood trays in their hands. When they saw them, they bowed their knees and saluted. When they left, they looked shy and whispered.
The nuns from Kunhua Palace led the way, and they followed slowly.
Su Zhen looked around and felt much better when smelling the fragrance of flowers.
Yu Changqing seems to be calm and composed, but in fact he is extremely confused.
"You Ning."
"Hmm? Master Yu, tell me."
Yu Changqing's pupils shrank slightly, and his face became even more tired, "I heard that Prince Yu is gone."
"Um."
"Sorry, Wanwan is too willful."
Su Zhen stopped, with a gurgling smile on her face, "Master Yu, I thought about stopping it before, but later I realized that there is no right or wrong in love, there is no need to hesitate, and there is no need to weigh the pros and cons. Love is love,
There is no need to struggle. If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. You just need to step back from the brink in time."
"You are so young, you are quite perceptive."
"In a word, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt him!"
Su Zhen raised her brows and curled her lips into a sneer. No one, including Yu Qingwan, could do that!
"Where is the prince now?"
"The sea is as wide as fish can leap, and the sky is as high as birds can fly. If Master Yu wants to know his whereabouts, you might as well follow the people of the Marquis Mansion to find him."
The imperial commander responded calmly. Su Zhen was so ambiguous. She obviously knew the whereabouts of Yu Ziye, but she didn't want to say. Could he still use torture to extract a confession?
"You Ning, you and General Xiao seem to have a good relationship?"
"Why would Master Yu ask such a question?"
Yu Changqing pursed his lips, "Originally Concubine Yu refused to meet me, but just before a stick of incense, she changed her mind and asked to see you by name."
"Oh, no wonder..."
No wonder Yu Changqing asked Jin Lian to check on Xiyan, but instead brought her alone.
"I heard that you met Xiao Chuhong on the way to Siwei Mansion. They are obviously on opposite sides. If you get too close to him, Concubine Yu and Prince Qin will definitely spare no effort to kill you."
"Thank you for your concern, sir, but they have wanted to kill me for a long time, but they didn't do it because of my father. In this case, wouldn't it be more reliable for me to find a stronger backer?"
"Anyway, please be more careful."
"Um."
Su Zhen chuckled, put her hands behind her hands and continued to move forward. The news about Yu Changqing came so quickly, so he must have sent someone to spy on her.
Alas...these people! The most basic trust between people?!
...
Kunhua Palace.
The large and small ornaments in the hall are all made of jade, with different shapes, fine and smooth lines, a transparent texture like water, with emerald color inside, and fine ripples on the surface.
I have long heard that Concubine Yu loves jade, especially jade bracelets. It seems that she is not just exaggerating.
"Master Yu, Su Shaoqing, please wait a moment. I'll go and fetch the queen." Grandma Lin said to them.
"Okay, now I'm done, mama."
"My lord, you're welcome. I'll take my leave."
Yu Changqing and Su Zhen were placed in the side hall for a while. Soon someone from the palace served tea and stood aside to wait on them.
In the inner hall, the palace people were painting Concubine Yu's eyebrows, applying rouge, and dotting her lips. When she heard that Yu Changqing and the others had arrived, she looked in the mirror and caressed her cheeks, curled her lips and smiled. When she stood up and rolled her sleeves gracefully, she immediately
A maid came forward to hold the back of her dress.
Side hall.
Su Zhen held the tea cup with her left hand, lifted the tea lid with her right hand, and took a sip of the rich tea aroma. It was slightly bitter at first, then turned sweet, leaving a fragrant aroma on her lips and teeth.
Su Zhen was not worried about the poison in the tea. After all, if she walked out of Kunhua Palace, not to mention her father would make a fuss in the palace, and even the emperor would take the opportunity to express his anger. She was not interested in being the target of others' fighting.
The gauze curtain was lifted by the palace maid, and Concubine Yu Shi Shiran walked out of the inner hall, her cheeks were as white as jade, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She is wearing a dark-colored dress with a stand-up collar, and a clear gauze draped around her arms. The cuffs and hem are embroidered with rattan piping, and she wears a purple girdle. The fancy earrings complement the silver flower clusters on the collar. Her hair is tied up into a veil.
Huang bun, the blue tassels on both sides of the hairpin sway gently when walking, like flowing water.
She has a graceful figure and gorgeous and exquisite jewelry all over her body, which highlights her grace and splendor. She has icy skin and jade skin, charming phoenix eyes, and a unique aura in every move of her hands and feet, which is captivating. No wonder she has been in the harem for many years and has never lost her favor.
It's a pity that beauty is beautiful, but it is just a thorny man-eating flower.
"Master Yu, Mr. Su."
Yu Changqing and Su Zhen stood up, clasped their hands and said, "See the noble concubine."
Concubine Yu moved her lotus steps lightly and sat in the upright position. When she raised her slender hands, she could see that her fingertips were smeared with red elixir, and her face was filled with a smile and a look of hope.
"You two, sit down, no need to be polite."
"Thank you, empress."
Yu Changqing sat down again and heard Concubine Yu say, "Master Yu is young and promising, and is highly appreciated by the emperor. How come you have time to come to Kunhua Palace today?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm here because of Li Jieyu's matter." Yu Changqing said straight to the point.
"Li Yu?" Concubine Yu took a sip of tea, her face was beautiful, and she smiled brightly, "I heard that she disappeared without any reason last night. I wonder why your Lordship came here?"
"My Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I found out that Li Jieyu was once a female official in your palace, so I wanted to come and ask your Majesty for some information."
"That foxy Li Yu seduced the emperor. His crime cannot be punished. What does it matter if he dies?"
Everyone was silent and did not dare to respond.
Concubine Yu sneered, "That's all, what do you want to know?"
"Have you ever seen Li Jieyu before the palace banquet yesterday?" Yu Changqing asked.
"I heard that she hasn't been out of Qiling Hall for a few days. How can I see her?"
"I would like to ask the empress if Li Jieyu likes to collect calligraphy and paintings?"
"Calligraphy and painting?" Concubine Yu raised her voice and sneered, "She is a vulgar person, how can she be so elegant? Not to mention appreciating paintings, even literacy was taught by me."
Su Zhen quietly raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Yu's expression. Sure enough, she was disgusted and disdainful, but not hateful. But thinking about it carefully, Li Yu was indeed unworthy of her attention based on his life experience.
She handed the wooden box in her hand to the palace maid next to her, "Your Majesty, look, have you seen this porcelain doll?"
Concubine Yu lazily yawned and waved. The palace maid lowered her head, took the wooden box, walked to Concubine Yu, opened the lid with her backhand, and revealed the 'scarred' porcelain doll inside.
She glanced at it lightly, and was immediately frightened. After the fright, she slammed the table, "How dare you! How dare you use such a thing to scare me!"
The palace people immediately knelt on the ground, and Yu Changqing immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands, "Your Majesty, please forgive me." This chapter has been completed!
