When we walked out of Yanxi Palace, the autumn wind blew in our face, the palaces were desolate and quiet, the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant in the air, and everything was peaceful.
Zhang Yanling's mood was very complicated, with some sadness and pain, but also some relief. A long time ago, there had been a crack in the relationship between herself and the Queen Mother Zhang. The two siblings were actually avoiding the possibility of a complete break, thinking
They try to carefully bridge the relationship. However, it is obvious that this rift is becoming more and more difficult to bridge and becomes bigger and bigger.
Empress Dowager Zhang has been completely captured by Yang Tinghe. She is like an inexperienced girl who is carried away by love. She goes all the way to the dark side and unconditionally believes in every word of her lover. She regards lies as sweet words and deception as honesty.
Treat each other.
Zhang Yanling regretted not stopping all this in time. But he also understood that the matter was actually very difficult from the beginning. He did not want Queen Mother Zhang to be sad, but he could not handle the matter publicly. This was not only a palace scandal, but also involved Zhang Yanling.
It is indeed difficult to resolve the future of the family. Only Empress Dowager Zhang herself wakes up and can completely cut off the relationship.
Kou Kou five six three seven four three six seven five
But it was obvious that Empress Dowager Zhang was lost in Yang Tinghe's sweet words and fell deeper and deeper into it. Zhang Yanling finally intervened forcefully and even dealt cruel blows to the people around Empress Dowager Zhang, but she still could not make Empress Dowager Zhang come to her senses.
In the end, the Queen Mother was so manipulated that even the words of her biological brother had no effect.
The reason why Zhang Yanling felt a little relieved was because this time it was finally time to make a decision. This time Zhang Yanling had no way out, which made everything simpler. Although Zhang Yanling sympathized and loved Empress Dowager Zhang in her heart
, but this time personal emotions can no longer override the overall situation. It is impossible for him to compromise with Yang Tinghe, and it is impossible for him to influence his actions for the sake of the family relationship between his siblings.
The cardamom girl in my memory who was sitting by the window, thinking, is no longer seen.
Zhang Yanling quickly walked out of Yanxi Palace and went straight to the palace gate of the harem. When he was about to leave the vertical door of the harem, suddenly there seemed to be a figure shaking on the side of the rockery on the roadside. Zhang Yanling was startled, became alert, and stretched out his hand to touch his waist.
Fire gun.
Behind the rockery, a palace maid poked her head out and called out softly: "Is this Prince Jinghai?"
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The palace maid said in a low voice and quickly: "This slave is Cai'er, the female official next to the Queen. I am waiting here at the Queen's order. Please go to Changchun Palace with the prince. The queen wants to see the prince."
Zhang Yanling was stunned and asked in a low voice: "The Queen?"
The palace maid said: "Yes, my lord, hurry up, time is running out. Shen Shi will close the gate of the East Sixth Palace."
Zhang Yanling was confused and hesitant. Walking around the harem at this time could easily be dangerous. What's more, going to see Queen Xia was more likely to be a trap. But Zhang Yanling remembered what Zhang Zhong had reported before. The reason why Zhang Zhong could
When you leave the capital, you get the handwriting of Queen Xia. From this we can see that Queen Xia should be reliable.

Moreover, Queen Xia came to invite me to see her. I think it was not for no reason. Maybe there was something important that I needed to tell myself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanling no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Please lead the way."
The palace maid said: "Please follow me and take the path."
The palace maid was very familiar with the paths in the palace. She led Zhang Yanling into the path of flowers and trees, climbed over the winding corridors, and headed east through the flowers and willows. Soon after, they arrived under a palace wall.
"We're here, this is the back garden wall of Changchun Palace. There are guards in front of the palace gate. Let's go in through the corner gate." The palace maid whispered.
Zhang Yanling nodded and agreed in a low voice. At this time, there is no need to think too much. Since we are already here, there is no need to think about whether it is a trap. Changchun Palace is already where the sixth east palace of the harem is located, and it belongs to the deep harem. Once here,
If someone discovered it, there would be no way to clean it up.
The maid walked north along the wall, and Zhang Yanling followed her. Sure enough, there was a corner door on the wall. The maid took out the key and opened the door, and whispered to Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling gritted her teeth and stepped in.
The back garden of Changchun Palace is lush and green. No one has lived here for a long time. The back garden has grown wildly and no one has pruned it, making it look a bit messy and gloomy. But this just conceals the whereabouts. Following the palace maid, Zhang Yanling walked out of the back garden vertical door.
Arriving at the apse corridor.
The maid led Zhang Yanling to a room in the east and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will go and report to the Queen later."
Zhang Yanling nodded, and the palace maid entered the room. Zhang Yanling stood outside and looked around, but saw that the entire apse corridor was empty, and dilapidated lanterns hung under the corridor. The paint on the corridor pillars was peeling off and was very dilapidated. It must have been here for a long time
No one lives there anymore.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Houzhao died, Queen Xia would be moved to a place like this. This really makes the tea go cold when a person leaves. In the future when the new emperor takes the throne, Queen Xia's status in the palace will definitely be even more embarrassing. At such a young age,
He was only in his twenties and already had to spend his whole life in this dilapidated palace.
"Prince Jinghai, the Queen has invited you." The maid quickly came out of the room and said quickly in a low voice.
Zhang Yanling nodded, straightened his clothes, lifted the curtain and entered.
The light in the room was dim. Although it was still late, candles were already lit in the room. Zhang Yanling immediately saw Queen Xia standing at a round table. Queen Xia was dressed in black and had a flower on her temples.
Bai Hua was looking towards the door. She did not put on any makeup and wore a bare face. The expression on her face was calm and peaceful. The moment she saw Zhang Yanling coming in, she seemed to have a smile.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yanling, bows to the Queen." Zhang Yanling stepped forward and saluted.
Empress Xia waved her dazzling pale hands under her black clothes and said softly: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly."
Zhang Yanling thanked her and stood up. She bowed and said, "Why did the Queen move to a place like this?"
Queen Xia sighed softly and said: "The emperor is gone, and the widow has a place to live in the palace. She is already satisfied."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "The Empress's condolences are with us. Who could have imagined such a change? It's really unprepared."
Empress Xia nodded slightly and said: "There is no need to say those things. The emperor knows people poorly and suffered such a catastrophe, but he cannot blame others. If the emperor can take care of himself, listen to wise ministers like his uncle, properly rectify the government affairs, and work hard
And we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Zhang Yanling was startled and looked up at Queen Xia. Queen Xia looked calm and continued: "Uncle, do you think what Ai Jia said is wrong? In my opinion, the emperor's death is definitely not an accident. I invited uncle here today because I want to talk to him.
Uncle told me about this matter. The Aijia stopped talking in circles. The Aijia knew that the emperor’s death was very strange, but the Aijia were unable to investigate the matter. The matter could only fall on uncle. That’s why the Aijia invited uncle to come and see him.”
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "Does the Queen have any evidence?"
Queen Xia shook her head and said: "There is no evidence. However, on the day the emperor drowned, the Ai family had important information. It may be related to the emperor's death. The Ai family did not tell anyone. They only waited for the return of their uncle, and they could only tell his uncle.
Know.”
Zhang Yanling was startled and whispered: "Please tell me, the Queen, what happened that day?"
empress
It was a great achievement. He was in a happy mood and asked me if I would like to go to Xiyuan with him in the evening to enjoy the moon and cool off.
The emperor said that Jiang Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, sent some sweet watermelons from the sandy land of the Western Regions to the palace. It was a good time to enjoy the moon and eat melons at night to cool off and cool down. The emperor has never cared so much about me. I should have agreed. But unfortunately that day I fell ill.
I felt uncomfortable, so I declined the emperor's invitation. The emperor was a little unhappy and left."
Zhang Yanling was stunned and said in a deep voice: "You mean, Jiang Bin entered the palace that day? Met the emperor? He gave him watermelon?"
empress
I’m in Weizhou. Before I leave, I hope to accompany the emperor to enjoy the moon and cool off. So then
The moon-viewing event that night was arranged by Jiang Bin. I didn’t realize this before, until something happened to the emperor that night and everyone died, but no one mentioned Jiang Bin’s arrangement of sending watermelons to the palace.
I knew something was fishy about admiring the moon."
Zhang Yanling's breathing became rapid and she said in a deep voice: "Did the Queen realize that someone was deliberately concealing this matter?"
Queen Xia nodded slowly and said: "No one said anything about it afterwards, including Wang An, the emperor's personal chamberlain. He must have known about it. But he didn't mention it at all. During the subsequent cross-examination and investigation, it was also revealed
No one mentioned this matter. The Ai family knew that they had all colluded and were all safe.
It was arranged. Originally, the Ai family wanted to say it out, but the Ai family knew that at this time, they could not say a word, because they were all untrustworthy. If the Ai family had spoken out, they might not be alive today. So the Ai family would
He has been keeping silent and waiting for the day when his uncle comes back. The only person the Ai family can trust is his uncle."
Zhang Yanling looked at Queen Xia in astonishment, and Queen Xia's pair of autumn eyes were looking at Zhang Yanling quietly.
