Sleeve the world, mourning melody

Xiao Jingyi listened closely to her words, feeling angry and bloody, she took a breath, suppressed her anger and said: "Leave the rest to me, you can just rest and recuperate."

·

At dusk, the setting sun is stained with blood.

The woman in palace attire stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky, her mood was surging like clouds.

"Miss!" A cheerful female voice approached with brisk steps.Sima Zi turned his head and saw Yue Lan jumping towards him.

"Miss, let's see who's here?" Yue Lan happily moved half a step away, and looked back at him with a smile.

Yi Mo stepped forward quickly, and after her, followed Yue Ling unhurriedly.

Sima Zi's smile stopped after moving away from Yi Mo's body. She looked at the man with steady steps and confirmed that she was not Yue Ling.

It's only half a day since we parted, how can a seriously injured person walk on the ground?

Surprised eyes fell on Yi Mo, and Sima Zi was relieved when she came by her side.

"That is……"

"It's Miss Ajiu."

Sima Zi relaxed and asked the people around him, "Why are you here?"

Yi Mo held her hand and said softly, "Let's go in and talk."

……

In the apse, several people sat at the same table.Sima Zi gave up the high position, dragged Yi Mo to the east, and asked Ah Jiu to sit as the teacher.Yue Lan was naturally by her lady's side.

Yi Mo and Sima Zi narrated what they had seen and heard in the past half a day. Sima Zi lightly talked about the domineering father and son of the historians of the previous dynasty, and the connivance of the emperor.

Yi Mo knew that she would report good news and not bad news, and felt sorry for her, and it was difficult to escape her comforting words in front of others. She briefly described the Queen Mother's instructions, asking Shen Nian to adapt to changes, and asking her to insist on Feng Xiangxi's identity and not let go .

Although I don't know the queen mother's strategy, it is her old man who decides to help.With the empress dowager in charge, even if the emperor or someone makes things difficult for Yi Mo, she will always be there to rely on.

Sima Zi nodded, and said broadly, "That's good."

The two of them had a short talk, and the woman on the other side who had been silent for a long time just spoke.

Ajiu has always been taciturn, and her voice is as cold as the morning light and clear spring, but she speaks out the words, and even teaches the listeners on the opposite side to hold their hearts high.

"Miss Shen, to be honest, I am not from the Xiao Pavilion. When Concubine Rong died of illness, she entrusted my master to take care of the Sima family, and specifically mentioned the third miss of the Sima family and you. The incident in the Shen family shocked the government and the public, and the master ordered me to go south. It's just that I went too late, Mr. Shen has already been martyred..."

Yi Mo stared nervously at the people around him, and put her tight fists in his palms.

"Master ordered me to hide my identity. On the night I was preparing to rob the prison, I happened to see your maid attracting people from the Xiao Pavilion."

"Then you," Sima Zi's voice trembled, "have you seen my mother for the last time..."

"I didn't have time to save her when I went, so I explained my identity and purpose to her. She asked me about the situation of the Sima family in Jingzhong, and said that she had only this way. I hope Miss Shen, you don't blame her. I arranged for Miss San's funeral. , forgive me for being abrupt, the Shen family was overthrown at that time, there was no choice but to send her back to Suyang."

"Thank you." Sima Zi was already sobbing, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Does my mother have anything to say?"

"Miss San wants you to take good care of yourself. She said that you have no choice but to entrust the heavy burden of reversing the case to you. She said, 'As a mother, I only hope that my son will be safe and happy, and that I will grow old hand in hand with my sweetheart." Live in peace with faith in your heart.”

Finally knowing her mother's painstaking efforts, Sima Zi burst into tears in an instant, turned around and threw herself into Yi Mo's arms, suppressing and crying in a low voice.

Yi Mo's eyes were red, he let go of her hand, embraced his sweetheart, coaxing softly.

Yue Lan was beside her mourning, she was sobbing and wiping away her tears.

Ajiu, who is used to seeing life and death, don't open her eyes, her expression is sad.

The sky outside the window was sinking, most of the red candles were burnt out, a thick layer of candle tears covered the candlesticks, and the hanging wicks lay lifelessly on top.

The lights dancing on it are faint, seemingly reluctant to let go, sometimes faltering.

Several people in the hall sat upright for a long time, Ajiu mentioned the current situation a little bit, and conveyed the Queen Mother's plan to Sima Zi.

Sima Zi pursed his lips and nodded silently.

The author has something to say: the finale of the next chapter [deep breath]

☆, the finale: the way home

"His Majesty!"

Li An's sudden intrusion caused the emperor to glare.

"What's the fuss?! The son-in-law led the troops into the palace?" Ling Sheng put down his pen and threw the discarded drawing aside.

"No, Your Majesty." Li Anse shrank his neck and said submissively, "It was the female thief who found it!"

Ling Sheng bypassed the imperial case, and rushed to him impatiently, asking, "Where is she now? Has she confessed to the Queen's envoy?"

Li An choked, "Never. She, she is currently in the Queen's Palace."

"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Isn't it seriously injured? Can you still walk?"

"Your Majesty," Li An narrowed his eyes, avoiding the emperor's wrath ahead of time, "According to Ling San's subordinates, I personally saw the girl in white and another court lady return to the Hall of Renming at dusk."

"Nonsense!" Ling Cheng was anxious, "Bring me the person who spread the rumor!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, he is outside the hall!" Li An hurried out to announce the decree, and slipped away.

……

Holding the table in his hand, Ling Sheng leaned over to look at the subordinates: "Are you Ling San's subordinate?"

The thin man below kowtowed, "Return to Your Majesty, I am under the command of Ling San, Zhao Zhi."

Ling Cheng nodded. Ling San's subordinates have gone through investigations and are worthy of reuse. He said just now: "You just saw Yueling enter the Hall of Renming, but did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Exactly. The minister and his companions were ordered to guard the Hall of Renming. At sunset, they saw a white-clothed woman and another maidservant enter the palace. So far, the two of them and the other one have not entered or exited."

Ling Cheng nodded. Ling San and the others had never seen the queen's maidservant, so this sounded believable.After thinking about it, he said: "Tell Li An to summon the son-in-law and Jing Zhaoyin."

"Yes!" Zhao Zhi clasped his fists and retreated.

·

"One more thing." After Ah Jiu finished speaking, she walked out on her own.She turned and flew up to the eaves, and took off a bundle.

"This is...?" Sima Zi Yimo and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Without explaining, Ah Jiu handed the bundle to Sima Zi, "Miss Shen, please put it away, the Empress Dowager. This is an important thing."

After Sima Zi and Yi Mo looked at each other, they nodded to her.Take the burden and go to the sleeping hall by yourself.

She came out again, and the chaos and noise broke through the quiet night.

"The empress stays up so late, is it because she has something in her heart that she can't sleep well?" The visitors are not limited to the emperor and his personal guards, and even two obnoxious faces full of ambition are among them.

Surrounded by Yi Mo and others, Sima Zi greeted him in the front hall, bowed his knees to salute the superior, and said calmly: "Your Majesty worries about the country day and night, and you must always take care of the dragon's body. I'm afraid you are confused now, so you sent the foreign The minister introduced the harem."

Having seen this cousin's eloquence for a long time, Ling Sheng laughed off the little girl's ridicule.

Li An stood by his side, sweat dripping down his back.It seems that tonight is destined to be unusual...

Shi Yan snorted.Zhao Qiusheng lingered on the woman with ulterior motives.

Yi Mo gave him a sideways glance.

The face-to-face glance was too cruel, Zhao Qiusheng restrained himself a little, and lowered his eyes, waiting for the good show to come on stage.

His Majesty the Emperor did not keep him waiting.

"These people around the queen look strange." Although Ling Cheng said so, he stared at Yi Mo, who was unfamiliar with him, "It seems that I know very little about the queen's cousin, so I should come here often in the future. yes."

Ling Cheng purposely said this to Sima Zi with a bit of tenderness and affection.Sima Zi turned his eyes away from him, and brushed the back of Yi Mo's hand as if he didn't see it.

In front of everyone, Empress Dowager Li asked Yi Mo to conceal her identity, and the two of them were just master and servant.

Ling Cheng made fun of himself, laughed and returned to the topic, "What is the name of this girl in white, and the queen hasn't introduced me yet?"

Sima Zi signaled, and "Yue Ling" opened his mouth: "The slave, Yue Ling, is served by the second miss of the Sima family."

"Oh." Ling Sheng nodded lightly, looked at her carefully and said, "Both you and the other Yue girl have followed the queen since childhood?"

"Exactly."

"Then who are you?" His sharp eyes turned to Yi Mo,

Yi Mo bowed his knees and lowered his eyes, "My servant, Feng Xiangxi, has followed my young lady since she was a teenager."

Ling Sheng paused, looked at her, and said with a smile: "This is strange. Your master's health is not good, and there is no one to serve him when he enters the palace. Isn't it ridiculous that such a strange thing happens?"

"Your Majesty is really confused?" Sima Zi raised his eyes and said indifferently, "Xiang Xishiye is by my side, why is it that the concubine and concubine are all alone as His Majesty said?"

"What did you say?" Sima Zi obviously opened his eyes and said nonsense, who is Yi Mo's identity, and others don't know if he is stupid!Ling Cheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he lowered his head in a menacing manner.

Sima Zi then took Yi Mo's hand, "She and I cherish each other, going out and going in together, not what others think."

"The empress said that this person has been with you since entering the palace." Ling Cheng almost squeezed out the sound of the word from between his teeth.He has seen Yi Mo's original face, and he is sure that the maid in front of him is her. He originally planned to use this to incite Shi Yan to rebel, reveal the identities of Sima Zi and Yi Mo, and win over the people and power in the northern border and clean up the harem to welcome his beloved. The woman is the new queen.
