After hugging Yongxun for a while, Hongli raised his head and looked at Xianyue, who pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. He reached out to touch the tears on her face, but Xianyue stepped back and avoided her.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Hongli's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said instead: "You and I will definitely eliminate the barriers and return to the past."
Facing his gaze, Xianyue smiled sarcastically: "The emperor has already distrusted my concubine to this extent, how could he go back again?"
"I will definitely do it if I say I can." Hongli's determination made Xianyue's eyes flash with confusion, and she asked tentatively: "Is there something that I don't know about?"
Hongli hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's nothing. In short, you and I will be the same as before." After saying that, he handed Yongcun back to Xianyue and walked out, leaving Yongcun behind with "Ahhhhhhhh" words.
shouted.
When he heard Xianyue's words outside, all the knots in his heart were untied. At this moment, he only had one thought, which was to protect Xianyue's mother and son.
It is easy to kill Qiao Yan'er, but if she really comes here to stir up trouble, she must not be the only one who can reach this point. If all the people behind her are not found out, he and Xianyue will still be in danger.
If he told Xianyue, Xianyue would definitely not agree to him keeping Qiao Yan'er by his side, and if anything bad happened, Xianyue would also be involved. He has been unable to protect Xianyue several times,
She has been in danger many times. This time, he must ensure that Xia Yue, mother and son are safe.
The spring light at the end of March was gradually getting older, and after a month, it was summer. Wei Jingxuan waited in Yongshou Palace day after day, but she never waited for the order to restrain her from being released.
At dusk that day, the young eunuch in the imperial dining room brought dinner as usual. Wei Jingxuan glanced at Mao Gui. The latter understood. When the young eunuch took the food box from his hand, he quietly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
He said in a voice: "Eunuch, I wonder how the investigation went on about someone in the palace harming my master?"
The little eunuch secretly weighed the money in his hand and said: "As early as half a month ago, it was found out that it was Zhou Quan, the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who ordered Zheng Jiu and others to do this. Zhou Quan died, and Zheng Jiu and others also
I was punished to work in the cleaning office, and Wei promised that he could rest assured."
Wei Jingxuan had heard about these things a few days ago when Li Jifeng came in quietly to visit her. Although she was happy that Zhou Quan was dead, she was most concerned about when she could go out. She couldn't help but said: "What happens next?
What else does the emperor say?"
The little eunuch looked her up and down and smiled, "Wei promised to ask if the emperor has issued a decree to release you, right?"
Mao Gui smiled apologetically at the side and said: "To be honest with you, father-in-law, it is really boring to stay in the Yongshou Palace all day long. Not to mention the master, I also want to release the restraint as soon as possible so that I can go out for a walk and see the flowers in bloom.
Imperial Garden.”
The little eunuch rolled his eyelids and said in a strange tone: "I'm afraid we have to wait for a while before Wei agrees. At least... I haven't heard the news that the emperor wants to release Wei and agree to be grounded."
"Then other things..." Faced with Mao Gui's probing words, the young eunuch sneered and said, "It's already a taboo to tell you these things. If you ask more questions, you won't understand the rules." Mao Gui kept saying it.
While nodding, he said with some disdain: "Okay, hurry up and eat. Our family will pick it up tomorrow."
After the little eunuch left, Wei Jingxuan opened the food box without saying a word, broke open all the steamed buns inside, and rummaged through the dishes, but found nothing. Wei Jingxuan was still unwilling to give in and continued to dig through the shabby food.
Dish, he said to himself: "How come there is no food? Where is it? Where is it?"
Mao Gui whispered: "Master, that person hasn't sent any news for a long time. I guess he won't do it again!"
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan was stunned, then threw the steamed bun still in her hand to the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I never thought that I, Wei Jingxuan, would be teased one day, how wonderful!"
"Master said before that the man's status is not high. Although he exposed the comprehensive conspiracy, he could not speak in front of the emperor, so..." Mao Gui paused and then said: "Master, please give me a moment."
Stay safe and be patient for a while longer!"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan had already scolded: "Be patient and patient, haven't I endured enough? It's been a year, I've been locked up here for almost a full year, and I finally found an opportunity, but it turned out to be in vain.
How can you ask me to be so willing!"
Mao Gui sighed and said: "I understand the pain in my master's heart, but if the emperor doesn't issue an order, there is nothing you can do even if you are unwilling."
"Your Majesty!" Wei Jingxuan gritted her teeth and said, "It's impossible for him not to know that Zhou Quan belongs to the Queen, but the Queen is still unscathed. No need to ask, it must be that he has his intentions towards the Queen; he is so affectionate and kind to the Queen, but he is mean and unkind to me.
, knowing that someone was harming me, knowing that I almost died at the claws of those flat-haired beasts, he not only looked at me, but didn't even say a word of comfort, it's so heartless and unjust!"
When Mao Gui was thinking about how to comfort him, Wei Jingxuan sneered and said, "But I won't give up just yet. I must go out and get back everything that belongs to me." After a pause, she said, "If I didn't
I remember wrongly, Li Jifeng should be on duty tonight, so I'll use the same method to get him to see me."
Since there is no news from the person outside, the only chess piece she can rely on is Li Jifeng. She has to think carefully about how to get out of the current predicament.
Not to mention how Wei Jingxuan was planning ways to lift the ban in the Yongshou Palace, Qiao Yaner has been looking for ways to get close to Hongli since she went to the Yangxin Palace to serve him. In the past half month, she has gone to the inner palace to serve him several times.
, every time, she would secretly hide some medicinal powder in her nails so that she could administer the medicine at any time, but every time, she returned in vain. Everything Hongli ate and drank was prepared or prepared by Sixi and Xiaowu.
It's waiting
, other people were not allowed to interfere. One time, when Xiao Wu came in from the imperial tea room to make tea, she accidentally tripped over the threshold. She was nearby at the time, so she quickly took the tray, just as she secretly rejoiced that she finally had the chance to administer the medicine.
At this time, Sixi took it without hesitation. After touching the wall of the cup, he immediately came to Xiao Wu who had just stood firm, scolded him for making the tea too hot, and ordered him to make it again immediately.
.
As for Hongli, although he treated her well and occasionally said some caring words to her, he didn't seem to have any intention of accepting her as his concubine. But if he really didn't have this intention, why would Hongli transfer her to the Yangxin Palace to serve her?
, the longer the days of waiting, the more Qiao Yaner felt that she could not understand Hongli's thoughts.
