Sleeve the world, mourning melody

"Miss..." Yue Ling then sank down, and her fingertips tracked the pulse on the opponent's wrist. After being silent, she said in a low voice: "Miss is thin and tired, the most important thing is to calm down and take care of her."

Sima Zi shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled up helplessly, "I can't yet." His eyes wandered, and he fell on the candle wick fireworks on the lampstand, which were blown up and down by the wind seeping through the window cracks, and sighed softly: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop ... On the official career, there are open and secret struggles, power strife, and people who have no intention of scheming can't do what they want. My father is like this, and so is Yi Mo... The case back then, you and I can only conjecture, without evidence, it is not empty talk... Now they don't even let Yi Mo go..." Sima Zi raised his hand suddenly, closed his eyes and shook his head one after another, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow like a snake. The family is famous, hereditary marquis, relatives of the emperor, and the most powerful ministers are not enough. "

Yueling paused for a moment, seeing that her young lady was staring blankly at the end of her words, and then asked softly, "Miss, are they making moves again?"

Sima Zi's eyes were full of sternness, "Small actions are constantly being made, and the stage is still the same, a group of harmony." Clenching his fists, hatred welled up, "Nanfang, I received a letter from Li'er a few days ago, saying that I met Yi Mo ...these few days, no more news."

Yue Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, don't worry, Mrs. Xiao and the third lady are both here, and the general still has an official position and martial arts, so it's fine."

Sima Zi nodded obediently, "I hope it is." He secretly hated himself for planning for several years, but in the end he was incompetent. At critical moments, he relied on his grandfather's family background and external forces from others... No wonder the world is obsessed with power.She thought deeply, but one of them.

Yueling poured tea for Sima Zi, handed it out, and when Sima Zi came back to take it, he asked softly: "Miss, didn't you say that you are not avoiding others, so you don't have much contact with each other, why are you today..."

Sima Zi put down the teacup casually, turned his head and glanced towards the door and window, met her eyes with a solemn expression, "I can't hide it... The emperor has been rejected many times, and today he wants me to come to ease relations with 'Concubine Xiao'." At the end, he laughed again, "After all, paper can't contain fire."

Yue Ling grabbed her cuff with her backhand, "How is Miss going to deal with it?"

Sima Zi shook his head, "It's just a matter of seeing the trick." He lightly smiled and told her: "If you find out, you can't force yourself out... I will try to get you out. The incident can still take a few days. Uncle and Xi'er made an agreement : Things are progressing, maintain communication, if there is no good news from Shu at that time," Sima Zi closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You go to the north as soon as possible. The old master trusts Yimo, and the Li family army is driven by her. Big deal,"

Yue Ling was in shock in a trance, figured out the joints, and knelt down on the ground, "Miss, you have to think twice about the important military situation!"

Sima Zi shook his head, "It's not the end yet. I was thinking that after the old Marquis, no one in the imperial court would be more familiar with the Northern Territory than Yi Mo, plus prestige... If the Northern Territory is uneasy, the emperor will definitely use her. As long as she Returning to the northern border is undoubtedly a fish entering the sea and a tiger returning to the mountains."

Yue Ling heaved a sigh of relief, sat slumped on the ground, thought about it and still felt wrong, "But miss, what if the northern border is okay?"

Sima Zi looked directly at her, speechless.

The chaos in her mind was pierced, Yue Ling knelt on the ground, her voice choked up, "Miss Wan, please think again!" She walked along with her lady, witnessing Shen Nian's transformation from a rich lady who had lived in her boudoir to a forbearing and planning everything. From an indifferent and thoughtful bachelor's daughter to a resolute lonely family trapped in the deep palace...

Yue Ling knew that if Sima Zi was determined to go out this way, it would be difficult to turn back.

Regardless of whether the Shen family can be redressed or not, she will be imprisoned for life for the karma planted by Empress Sima.

Yueling kowtowed heavily, and was then helped up by Sima Zi.

Sima Zi glanced at her, smiled comfortingly, turned to leave, saw Yue Ling was about to see her off, and stopped her with his hand.

Yue Lingding watched her go out, saw her carrying a heavy headgear and palace clothes and the deep entanglement of love in her heart, suppressed her heartache, and made up her mind: no matter what the road ahead, we will go together and return together.

A second-entry courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing is named as an academy. During the day, there are endless streams of literati and poets. At night, the sparse crowd slowly disperses.

In the main room and the east and west wing rooms, there are many people who read books, recite poems and compose pairs, or dance and write.

The front yard is full of people, but the back yard is empty.In the courtyard, three or five people dressed as servants sat on the railings and slept soundly on the table, each in a lazy posture.

The hidden guards are all dressed as scholars, hiding in the crowd in the front yard, taking advantage of the trend and being arty.

The twilight is all together, the lights are just coming on, the noise is low and hoarse, and the time for another battle is agreed, and the people who gather in the small courtyard return together, either having fun or being disappointed.

One of them was clutching his stomach, looking anxious before going out, leaving his companion to search for the toilet in the backyard in a hurry.

His companion laughed loudly on the spot, and after half a stick of incense, he saw the man staggering out, looking embarrassed.Several companions shook their heads one after another, supported him left and right, complained loudly, and returned side by side.

After the case, the man splashed ink and knelt down on the floor to the plain-clothes hidden guard dressed as a scholar.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, the person kneeling at the head answered first: "My lord, the son-in-law and others have gone to that academy in the suburbs of Beijing again."

After a pause, Ling Cheng raised his head and snorted slightly, "Natural nature has not changed." Shi Yan wooed courtiers and formed cliques for personal gain. It was not a day or two, and the secret guards reported him and his party members truthfully from time to time.When Yi Mo returned to Beijing and was attacked, he had already come to reprimand Shi Yan and others, but unexpectedly, that person still didn't know how to restrain himself.Slightly annoyed, he simply put down his Langhao imperial pen, "Did you find out what they were talking about?"

"Your servant is incompetent." The kneeling people lowered their heads one after another, and the leader immediately replied: "The guards in the backyard are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and no one else is allowed to approach. Today, this subordinate pretends to be anxious, but still can't enter." Kowtow to the ground, "Please Your lord, come down!" The white marble floor tiles felt warm to the touch, and the hot air exhaled by the people lying on the ground spread evenly on them, and the breath that returned to the lungs was only icy cold, full of the icy cold of the wrath of the emperor.

Ling Cheng flicked his sleeves, ignoring the notebook that had been knocked down at the corner of the case, and turned around bitterly, "Trash! Come!"

More than ten guards filed in.

Ling Cheng raised his hand, "Being a close minister in vain for failing my heart! This traitor will have his name removed from the Anwei Hall and expelled from Beijing!"

The leader looked up in astonishment.The rest kowtowed again and again, "Lord, calm down!" "Your Majesty, be gracious!"

The leader knelt down solemnly, his eyes flashed the words on the title of the notebook that fell in front of him, and he calmed down, and said loudly, "The guilty minister owes you the grace of God. Farewell to Your Majesty, I hope His Majesty will cherish it!"

The Palace of Qinzheng returned to Lengsu.Li An stepped forward in a low voice, leaned over, closed his eyes, picked up the scattered notebooks, put them back on the table, and after deliberating, he said softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The empress is going before dinner tonight." After entering the Lingyu Hall, Master Xiao and the Empress had a long conversation alone."

"Oh?" Ling Cheng turned around, his face obviously softened, and he asked curiously: "Let's hear the details."

"Yes." Li An bowed, heaved a sigh of relief, and told his subordinates one by one.

Under the south gate of the capital

Several commoner men led horses out of the city.The person in front held the reins tightly and lowered their eyes in silence, then they looked at each other in blank dismay, and one person caught up and asked, "Third brother, where are we going?"

The person known as "Third Brother" suddenly got on his horse, and said two words indifferently: "Jiangnan." It has been several years since Ling San was promoted to the deputy commander of the secret guards.The lord was angry. He had seen it before, at most he was punished and grounded. Today, it is unusual to send a private letter to ask him to bring everyone to face the holy together. But the reaction of the lord, without giving a chance to refute, he can't help but say that he will dismiss his job and drive people away. Three unseen.Suspicious in his heart, he paid more attention to the Lord's behavior. Maybe the Master did it on purpose for the notebook that was swung straight in front of him?

It was folded open, and the words "Jiangzhou Prefecture" appeared on the title... Ling San secretly guessed, could it be that the Lord had hinted?If you really worry too much, Quan should go to the south of the Yangtze River to relax. If you guess correctly, the memorial will be counted as the master's secret order, and the situation will be critical.At that time, apart from the Lord, there were only him and these brothers in the palace. If it was really an inconvenient task to explain clearly, could it be...among them...?

Beijing Suburb Academy

"Congratulations to the son-in-law!" Zhou Hang hurried out of the back room, heard the report from the spies at the door, returned to the house, activated the mechanism, entered the secret room, and greeted his congratulations with a red face.

There is a cavernous sky in the secret room, spacious and bright, with lingering fragrance lingering.Shi Yan sat on the head, his shrewd eyes hooked on the visitor, "I don't know yet, what's the happy event?"

"My son-in-law, our people came to report. He Yun and Ling San left Beijing one after another. He Yun disappeared out of thin air. Ling San was dismissed and sent out of Beijing because of the ineffective supervision of the Academy." Zhou Hang clasped his hands and reported, his eyes full of pride .

"My son-in-law, this is really good news! He Yun and Ling San are not here, and the little emperor's arms are broken! We can, "

Shi Yan raised his head, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, "The time has not yet come."

"Master, there is one more thing. The person sent to track down Yi Mo replied: Yi Mo and a woman parted ways. Mr. Jiang sent a letter to confirm that a man and a woman in Jiangzhou had indeed entered and left Yuzhou City. The man It was Yi Mo who was captured by him, and that woman is nowhere to be found."
