She had not seen Zhi for three days in a row. When she went to look for him in the royal study, he would always avoid him and block her outside the door. She stayed at the concubines of the palace at night, getting wet with rain and dew...
"Master, Master..." At this moment, Lan Qier ran in in a panic.
"What is it that makes you so anxious?" This girl has always been steady, what happened today.
"My slave... my slave saw..." Lan Qier hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell her or not.
"You should tell me quickly, what happened?" Cen Xue vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with her.
Lan Qier thought for a while and said: "Just now, the slave saw an old nanny bringing several young and beautiful women into the palace, so she went to inquire about it. It turned out that those women were the ones the king asked Zhao Changde to leave outside the palace.
The beauty I found is said to be canonized as a beauty."
"Oh..." Cen Xue's reaction was very dull, as if she had already thought about it.
Lan Qi'er looked at her reaction, which was terrifyingly calm. The more this happened, the more uneasy she became. It seemed that she would have to ask Yu Wu to come into the palace.
As a palace maid, the smart Lan Qier cannot leave the palace casually. Fortunately, Eunuch Zhao has always been very kind to his master. She asked Eunuch Zhao to ask Prime Minister Shan to give a message to Yu Wu ###, hoping that she can enter the palace to accompany her tomorrow.
Accompany the master.
Cen Xue's heart was as calm as lake water at this time, and the sound of the king's play in the harem, soaked in rain and dew, spread from the palace maids' mouths, but the king did not come to her this time.
The harem is also a very realistic place. Everyone is saying that Concubine Xue has fallen out of favor. The king asked her to move out of Xingqing Palace in order to drive her away.
For a moment, she seemed to be isolated in this palace, and everyone seemed to not recognize her overnight, just because she was no longer the king's favorite concubine!
————————Dividing line————————
When she came to the small lake, this was her favorite place on weekdays. At this time, she was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at all. She just sat blankly, looking ahead blankly.
"Oh, who did I think was here? It turns out to be Concubine Xue." Dressed in red and extremely alluring, Beauty Ji saw Cen Xue sitting here from afar.
"Meimei Ji..." Lan Qier bowed slightly and said.
Ji Meiren glanced at Lan Qi'er, then took the initiative to sit opposite Cen Xue and looked at her carefully. This seemed to be the first time they had such a close confrontation.
Looking at the woman in front of me who used to be favored by the king, and now look at her haggard look, it seems that the feeling of being a concubine is not pleasant, right?
Cen Xue just looked at her politely. She was a concubine in the harem and was much higher than her. There was no need to give her face.
"Why are we all the king's women, so why do you give me a wink like this? I know that the king has not been to my sister's place recently, so you must be unhappy, right? If the king still goes to my sister's place tonight, my sister will definitely let me.
The king, go up to your sister and see how old you look." Ji Meiren's words were thorny, deliberately showing off in front of her.
Although Cen Xue feels aggrieved, she is not stupid enough to fall into her trap. Now that the harem is full of rain and dew, and the king has brought in several beauties, who will fall out of favor? Who knows?
Looking at the proud Ji Meiren, she said without any emotion: "I heard that the king has consecrated several young and beautiful beauties. Although I have fallen out of favor, I have been favored by the king for several months.
, Sister, it’s only been two days, right? I advise my sister to go back to the palace and dress up properly. Yesterday, the palace saw those beauties. They were so young and beautiful that even I felt inferior...
"
Cen Xue said something and responded to Miss Ji. What's the point of having a nice face? She hinted that the new beauty was more beautiful than her, fearing that she would also fall out of favor...
Just when Ji Meiren wanted to reply, Shan Yuwu's voice came towards her in the distance. Cen Xue completely ignored Ji Meiren's existence, stood up, passed her, and went towards Yuwu.
Ji Meiren saw that this woman was so arrogant, but she was right. She couldn't lose to those new women, and she couldn't care about what happened between them, so she got up and went to her Huayin Palace.
Shan Yuwu received Lan Qier's message and took time out to go to the palace to accompany her the next day. When she went to the palace to look for her, she was not there. The palace maid said she was by a small lake, so she went here to look for her.
"Cen Xue, what does that woman want to do?" None of the women in the harem were good at waiting, so Shan Yuwu asked her cautiously.
"It's okay, I just came here to show off." Cen Xue would not be affected by her words.
"It's best that you're okay. Looking at your pale appearance, I think you should go out of the palace to get some fresh air. How about we go to the Wanguo Temple outside the city to burn incense together in the next two days?" I hope she will be in a better mood after going out for a walk.
Some.
"Wanguo Temple? I would like to go, but I don't know if I can go?" Cen Xue was worried that Helianzhi would not let her leave the palace again.
"It's okay. I'll ask Yuwen Tuo to tell Zhi about this. Just prepare yourself. I'll pick you up at Xuanwu Gate." Shan Yuwu is absolutely sure that he will convince Helian Zhi, and now Jue has already
After leaving, he had no reason not to let her out.
Nod, that's it.
Yuwen Tuo went to Helianzhi personally to tell him about this. He originally thought that he would be very opposed to it, but on the contrary, he agreed to let Cen Xue go to Wanguo Temple with Shan Yuwu to offer incense without even thinking about it.
In a courtyard in the west of the city outside the palace, a man sneaked in. I don't know what his intentions were.
"Tomorrow Concubine Xue and the Shan family are going to offer incense at Wanguo Temple. Now Concubine Xue, who has fallen out of favor, no longer has a large number of guards around her to protect her. At most, she only has Suzaku!" The man informed the connector standing in the dark about this whereabouts.
people.
"Is the news reliable?" The contact person's voice turned out to be that of a woman.
"###Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable. At noon, Young Master Yuwen went to the royal study in person to find out what the king mentioned. I also secretly overheard it while serving tea. It's absolutely reliable!" the man said confidently.
"Okay - this is your reward. Remember, don't let any news leak out!" After saying that, a bag of silver fell into his hands.
The man hurriedly opened it and took a look. It was full of gold ingots. He smiled and assured her: "###Don't worry, even if this matter is exposed, you won't be able to survive even if there is no news."
After the man left, nearly ten men dressed in black suddenly appeared in the other courtyard. The woman in the darkness ordered her men to carry out a box of silver and put it in the middle. She said in a very vicious and calm voice: "Listen.
Have you heard what he said? Tomorrow, the woman will go back to Wanguo Temple to offer incense. I want you to ambush at Wanguo Temple beforehand, and then kidnap the woman here. After that, there will be another box of gold for you!
"
"I didn't expect ### to be so generous. Don't worry, we will definitely handle your matter!" The man looked at the gold in the box and said greedily.
"Okay - I will be waiting for you here tomorrow, and another box of gold will be waiting for you here!" The woman was confident and seemed very sure of this action.
Yilan Palace
Lan Qier was preparing some things to be used tomorrow. Cen Xue was sitting aside in a daze. During this period of time, she seemed to have nothing else to do except daze.
Unexpectedly, Zhi would agree to her leaving the palace so readily. Does he really no longer love her? With a sad face, what on earth should she do to get his forgiveness?
"Master, I have packed my things. Don't think too much and rest early. We will set off tomorrow morning." Lan Qier comforted her and advised her to rest early.
Nodding, luckily Lan Qier has been by her side these past few days, and she finally has a caring person. If she wasn't even there, she really didn't know how she would survive in this deep palace...
Every night, Cen Xue always suffered from insomnia and could not sleep for a while until dawn. Shan Yuwu waited for her outside Xuanwu Gate for half an hour before she saw her carriage come out.
Zhuque rode her beloved horse in front. It seemed that Zhi was still worried about Cen Xue, so he sent Suzaku to protect her.
Cen Xue was the only one in the carriage with Lan Qi'er. The others were too unfamiliar and she didn't like taking a large group of maids out of the palace.
Yuwen Tuo went up the mountain with Yu Wu this time, which shows that their relationship is getting stronger and stronger. Along the way, Shan Yu Wu often saw Shan Yu Wu opening the curtains and looking out to see Yu Wentuo's figure, and Yu Wentuo seemed to have a telepathic connection with her.
As if, at that moment he turned back to meet her smiling eyes.
Wanguo Temple is located on the mountainside about ten miles outside the city. It is very popular and is the largest temple in Loulan Kingdom!
The group of about twenty people soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. The carriage began to go up the mountain, and the road began to look bumpy.
"Yu Wu, are you okay? Why don't you look good?" Cen Xue noticed something was wrong with her just after walking up the mountain for a while.
"It's okay, it's just that the road is too bumpy, I feel a little nauseous and dizzy." Shan Yuwu said, covering her chest.
"Master, let Yu Wu ### lie down, it will be better." Lan Qier spread a soft quilt and let Shan Yuwu lie on it.
This carriage is very big, even if Shan Yuwu is lying down, there is still a lot of space.
After jolting for more than half an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the foot of a step. Shan Yu danced on the carriage and vomited, but she felt a little better.
"Yu Wu, Yu Wu, are you feeling better? This is a symptom of motion sickness. You need to find a place to rest." Cen Xue supported her. Unexpectedly, she asked herself to come out to burn incense, but she vomited like this herself.
Shan Yuwu nodded, indicating that she was fine.
At this moment, the abbot of the temple came out personally to welcome their arrival.
"Old man Yuanguang, please see the empress..." Before arriving, Yuwen Tuo had already sent someone to clean up the place and asked the abbot to clean out a few monasteries for them to rest.
"Master Yuanguang, without any courtesy, could I use your temple's Zen room to let Shan### rest for a while? The road along the way was too bumpy, and she was a little dizzy and vomited." Cen Xue looked at Shan Yuwu worriedly.
"No problem, just take a rest and have a cup of tea. The Zen room has been cleaned and prepared. Please come over here." The abbot was kind-hearted and led them to the backyard of the temple.
The little monk didn't know what he gave Yu Wu to drink, but slowly he saw that her complexion improved a lot.
"Cen Xue, I'm really sorry for making you worry." Shan Yuwu lay on the bed and looked at her guiltily.
"Don't say such silly things. You have a good rest and let Yu Wentuo accompany you. I will go to the backyard to walk around. When you have a good rest, we will go to burn incense together and pray to the Bodhisattva to bless us with peace and tranquility in the future.
All your wishes come true!" He sat on the bed and held her hand and said softly.
"Well, then go ahead and don't go too far. I'll be fine after I take a short rest." Shan Yuwu's face had recovered a lot. As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Yuwen Tuo beside him.
