"Your Majesty..." Situ Yan cuddled up to him excitedly. She hadn't hugged him like this for a long time. She stretched out her slender arms to hug Yu Wenrui's waist. At this moment, she was filled with happiness and gratitude...
Yu Wenrui held Situ Yan in his arms, pursed his lips, and remained silent. In the huge harem, apart from Shen Tianjiao, the only thing he could be sure of was Situ Yan's love for him...
Soon, the news of the Queen Mother's pregnancy spread throughout the Nuo Da Palace like a gust of wind. In less than an hour, the Queen Mother's rewards arrived, and there were as many as they should have. Situ Yan looked at the things piled up in the main hall, A bright smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, her slender hands gently touched her abdomen, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, you are truly the savior of the Queen Mother." Now that she is pregnant with Long Rui, I believe that no one will want to shake her status. .
As soon as the news came out, the Fengyi Palace had concubines coming over to express their congratulations and flatter each other. It was very lively. Some of these concubines were jealous and some were jealous, but they all covered it up with smiles. After all, Situ Yan was now the queen. , and now she is pregnant with a dragon son. When the dragon son is born, he will naturally become a prince, because everyone dares not neglect him.
Only Concubine Hui went to Cining Palace to pay her respects as usual, and one could see the unconcealed joy on the Queen Mother's face, as if she had temporarily forgotten her previous order to Liu Ruyan to conceive an heir, and was only concerned about the royal bloodline she was about to covet. He took Concubine Hui's hand and warned her carefully: "Hui'er, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance."
Concubine Hui's face remained unchanged, and she still showed no emotion. She nodded meekly and said, "Hui'er knows."
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui with satisfaction and nodded. In fact, she liked the dignified Concubine Hui more than Situ Yan. Unfortunately, the emperor always had that Situ Yan in his heart.
Yun Jingchu was making tea at the other end of the room. Listening to the Queen Mother's words, her hands trembled, and the tea poured out. When the hot water burned her hands, she realized that at this moment, her heart was trembled by these words. His face was cold and cold, he really didn't expect that Situ Yan was pregnant...
The afternoon sun slanted through the withered leaves onto the quiet path. After sending Concubine Hui back to Huining Palace, Yun Jingchu thought about going to Sufangzhai. She had some questions in her mind that she wanted to ask Aunt Mei, and unknowingly she walked there. In Jiaqin Garden, all the flowers are withered here, autumn is deep, the wind is as cool as water, the lake waves are clear, and the fallen flowers are flying all over the ground.
Looking at the swing frame not far away, looking up at the tall trees still standing, Yun Jingchu sat on the swing frame and started to swing, with the breeze blowing on her face and her long skirt fluttering.
The sky is bright and clear, the clouds are relaxed and relaxed, the fallen leaves are flying, and everything is desolate.
Yun Jingchu gently shook Qianqiu. Thinking of the scene where she was sitting on the swing and Yu Wenrui pushed her, she couldn't help but feel sad. She was really out of control this morning. She had truly loved that man and gave birth to her child. Even though the man's children were severely betrayed and hurt, and she tried her best to make them feel heartbroken, she still felt sad when she found out that another woman was also pregnant with his child.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared not far away. A pair of dark eyes stared at Yun Jingchu not far away. His heart was filled with shock. He had just walked out of Fengyi Hall and inexplicably wanted to come to this place. When he heard the swing swinging He couldn't help but walk in this direction when he heard the sound. For a moment, an illusion appeared in front of him. Two different figures overlapped. He couldn't help but gradually approached the person in front of him, and stopped beside her. That sharp gaze glanced at her coldly.
"Why are you here?" Yu Wenrui's handsome face was gloomy, with an inexplicable smell in his tone, and his tone was very cold.
Yun Jingchu immediately stopped the swing, and instantly felt a fatal aura suppressing her. She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Wenrui. She was surprised once, then she suppressed all her thoughts, hurriedly blessed her body, and said respectfully.
: "This slave is here to see the Emperor."
A hint of deepness flashed across Yu Wenrui's handsome and handsome face, and there was a constant undercurrent in his black crystal eyes. Looking at Yun Jingchu standing there, he was calm and composed, especially those eyes, which were filled with icy coldness.
It frightened him, so he ignored her words and asked the question again, "Why are you here?"
"My slave happened to pass by and found this swing, so she couldn't help but sit on it." Although Yun Jingchu was struggling in her heart, she spoke calmly.
"By coincidence?" Yu Wenrui's narrow eyes were filled with a dark glow of mockery, and he said coldly: "As a female official in the palace, don't you know that I prohibit anyone from entering here?"
She really didn't know that he had forbidden anyone to come here. She didn't want to touch the deepest wound in her heart again, for fear that the wound would be opened again and the heart-rending pain would be out of control.
Yun Jingchu lowered her head and immediately said respectfully: "I acknowledge my guilt!"
Yu Wenrui raised his cold eyes and stared at her without revealing any emotion. The woman in front of him was just an ordinary palace maid. She had nothing to do with Shen Tianjiao, just because her eyes always reminded him of her.
Shen Tianjiao, but they are two different people at all. After all, she is also the person next to Concubine Hui, so if he is angry with her like this, is he too inconsiderate of Concubine Hui's feelings?
Thinking about it, Yu Wenrui frowned the deepest and pursed his thin lips tightly, "Don't break into this place without permission in the future. Please step back."
Yun Jingchu blessed her body respectfully, but suddenly thought of something, a smile that seemed cold but not cold appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said: "I have forgotten to congratulate the emperor, the queen is pregnant with the prince."
Yu Wen Ruijun's face looked heavy instead of joyful, but he did not refute out loud. There was another thought in his eyes, which made him hesitate to speak.
"If there's nothing wrong, please step back." Yu Wenrui's voice came out like thin ice, and he turned around in an arrogant manner, no longer looking at Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu looked at him and laughed at herself. God really loves to tease people. Yuwen Rui was also an inconspicuous prince before. If it weren't for her, his father would never have supported him, because in his heart, Yu Wen Rui
Tuo is more suitable to be a wise king. Now that he thinks about it, he has led a wolf into the house, and he would actually believe this kind of person and believe that he really loves her.
"My slave, please leave." Yun Jingchu kept telling herself to be strong, and turned around, her eyes filled with contempt and a biting chill.
Yu Wenrui, I will remember the more than 100 lives you owe the Shen family in my heart, and I will definitely get them back one by one...
Soon, Yun Jingchu left Jiaqin Garden and walked in the direction of Sufangzhai. Sufangzhai is located in the southern corner of the palace. After turning several alleys along the palace road paved with big stones, the walls on both sides gradually changed.
It turns blue and black, and when you reach the end, you will reach Shukubozai.
Although this is my second time here, I am still touched by the gloomy atmosphere here. On the dark green palace gate, the words "Shubozhai" have long been peeled off, the broken walls are dilapidated, and the surroundings are as dead as ashes.
This place used to be an elegant palace, and Goshawk didn't live here either. She had heard someone in the palace say before that the late emperor's favorite imperial concubine once lived here, but then the imperial concubine suddenly died of illness.
, the goshawk suddenly flew in and built a nest. Because the goshawk is the sacred bird of Wenyuan, we did not drive them away, but let them live here.
And she had never seen the imperial concubine, because when she entered the palace, the imperial concubine had been dead for twenty years, but she had heard about the imperial concubine from the late emperor. In her memory, the late emperor once
He felt sorry for her passing away from illness, and also revealed in his words that because he was the emperor, he couldn't just favor one person, so he would rather she could live happily in another place.
And she didn't take it too seriously at the time. Although there were still many things she didn't understand about the death of the imperial concubine, death was already a common thing in a place like the harem.
Yun Jingchu held up her skirt and stepped onto the steps and entered the courtyard. Old and majestic ancient trees came into view, and there were clusters of bird's nests high on the branches. Perhaps they sensed that someone had entered their territory, and they all watched eagerly.
He looked at the people who came in. The goshawk outside flapped its wings and hovered in the air warily.
Huh, when a cold wind blew by, Yun Jingchu immediately looked around with vigilance. Suddenly, a goshawk flew over and stopped in front of her, then flew away, as if leading the way.
Stopping at the door not far away.
Yun Jingchu looked at the goshawk in surprise, feeling that it seemed to be very spiritual, so she walked straight to the door on the small steps.
The bright window paper had turned waxy yellow, and there were still some spiders entangled in it. Looking through the broken window paper, it was very dark inside. Through a ray of dark light, she could still see the situation inside clearly. Table and Chair Room
The beams are covered with dust and spiders, old and messy. This environment really makes people frown when they see it. So why does Aunt Mei live here?
Yun Jingchu didn't think too much and reached out to knock on the door.
"Aunt Mei, are you there?" Yun Jingchu asked softly.
No one answered. Yun Jingchu knocked again, but still no one answered.
Did she go out? In her last attempt, Yun Jingchu knocked on the door again. In the end, no one answered, so she gave up.
Unexpectedly, just when she was about to give up and turn around, she was frightened by the figure standing behind her. She took a step back and immediately calmed down.
This person who suddenly appeared was the Aunt Mei she was looking for. Her black and white hair was tied up in a bun. She was not wearing any hair accessories. The dark palace clothes also looked older, but her face with some wrinkles was...
It can be seen that this Aunt Mei was also a beauty when she was young.
But why would such a person choose to raise these goshawks and stay here for twenty years, like a living dead who has never seen the light of day?
Aunt Mei obviously recognized the person who was also looking at her, but there was no expression on her face and she didn't say anything.
If she hadn't seen her getting along with Yu Wenyi that day, she would have really suspected that Aunt Mei was a weirdo. However, people who can live here are really weird either because they avoid the outside world.
"Aunt Mei, do you still remember me? I am Yun Jingchu." Yun Jingchu said humbly, without saying Yu Wenyi's name directly.
"This is not the place you should come, please go back." Aunt Mei spat out her cold voice. Without even looking at Yun Jingchu, she walked towards the inside. Just as she was about to close the door, she was stopped by a pair of thin hands.
Stopped——
"Aunt Mei, I want to ask you about the death of Concubine Shu. I didn't know you-"
"I have already said what I should say. Besides, you are just a little female official. You have no right to ask me like this. Please forgive me for having no comment." Aunt Mei interrupted Yun Jingchu's words, her tone was very cold and distant, as if
Don't want to get close to others.
When Yun Jingchu heard her cold words, she couldn't help but frown. Since she didn't want to say anything, she believed that she would have no answer no matter how much she asked.
"Okay, then don't bother Aunt Mei. I'll come see you another day." Yun Jingchu said politely.
Aunt Mei's whole body felt as cold as frost, and there was still no change in expression on her face, as if she had been frozen in that expression, emotionless.
"No, you better not go to such trouble. No matter how many times you come here, my answer is still the same. You can go, please forgive me for not sending you." As soon as she finished speaking, there was only a pop, and she had entered the house and closed the door, leaving only
Xia Yun Jingchu stood alone at the door.
Aunt Mei closed the door coldly, isolating herself from the outside world, as if she had completely entered her own world, and walked towards the inner room. In the darkness, she lit an oil lamp, and the dark yellow light dimly illuminated the surroundings.
Out of shape, the four walls have no other doors or windows except the entrance door. Although it looks very simple, compared with the outside, it looks clean and tidy, with tables, chairs and beds placed according to their respective positions.
Aunt Mei walked to the bed, picked up the black bundle placed at the foot of the bed, opened it carefully, and saw a brown tablet in the black bundle. She looked at it quietly, with a trace of guilt and sadness on her indifferent face.
It was as if the surrounding air was immersed in this silence... Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he immediately put down the brown tablet, opened the door and walked out——
At this time, Yun Jingchu, who had just walked down the steps, heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately turned around and looked at Aunt Mei walking out of the house.
Aunt Mei looked at Yun Jingchu, with an imperceptible look flashing in her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Are you very close to the Fourth Prince?"
"It's not close, but he often comes to see me when he comes to the palace." Yun Jingchu didn't expect that she would suddenly ask herself this, but she still answered honestly.
"I can see that the prince likes to be with you." Aunt Mei looked at Yun Jingchu with some surprise, and continued: "But I don't want the prince to often enter the palace because he likes to be with you, so you can
Are you willing to leave the palace?"
As soon as she said this, Yun Jingchu was slightly startled. What did she mean by that?
