Competing in the morning and evening

Yuan Wanru walked out from behind the tree with a smile on his face.

"It's you, so I knew it must be you!" Zeng Chuyu gritted his teeth and said, "Ziqing has always been soft-hearted, if you hadn't been instigated by a villain like you, how could you have lied to hurt me?!"

As soon as she said this, her smiling eyes gradually turned cold: "You never know how to be grateful, don't know how to be satisfied, you have to look forward to Shu, a greedy poisonous woman, what do you think you can rely on to get to where you are today? Is it your viciousness? No, you rely on Ziqing, the friendship Ziqing has for you in his heart. Without this, Yuan Xizheng's words can make you fall from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower. Do you think you are now In Chu Yin's eyes, there is no value, but an old hen that can't even lay eggs."

Zeng Chuyu was so angry that her hands and feet were cold, and her body softened and frightened the maid to hug her from behind. A series of empresses, Zeng Chuyu pointed at Yuan Wanru with trembling fingers, and said: "You dare to slander the current queen, you think I really can't cure you ?”

Yuan Wanru chuckled lightly and said: "Take me, how can you cure me? I think when I was not in the palace, I could make you miserable. What's more, I'm right in front of your eyes now. I advise you to die early." Super born."

"You harmed me?" Zeng Chuyu said with a pale face, "Only by you?"

Yuan Wanru took out a sachet from his bosom, smiled and said, "Can you recognize it?"

"My herbal bag?" Zeng Chuyu was startled, she naturally recognized this herbal bag, it was a herbal sachet that Yuan Xizheng made for her to cure her cold hands and feet.She used to hang it often, but when she saw this sachet recently, she would inevitably think of Yuan Xizheng, so she gradually stopped hanging it.

Yuan Wanru opened the sachet, poured out the herbs, pointed at the granule in his palm with his slender fingers and smiled, "You know, what is this?"

Zeng Chuyu stared at the things that should not belong in the sachet, and tremblingly said: "What is this?"

"It's the best musk, and Qingxiang put it on for you." Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "It's a pity that I have thought of many ways to minimize its smell, but you love to use flower water so much, it's a waste Some of my scheming..."

Zeng Chuyu could no longer restrain herself, she rushed forward, her round eyes were so red that they were bleeding, she shouted, "Yuan Wanru, I want your life!"

Yuan Wanru turned his body slightly, and knocked Zeng Chuyu unconscious with his palm up and down.Seeing this situation, the maid was so frightened that she couldn't even call for help, and stood there trembling as if she was shaking.

Yuan Wanru smiled sweetly, and said: "Look at your empress, you are too rude. This Gong is making a little joke with her. I didn't expect her to be so unreasonable?! Why don't you send your empress Go back, I'm going to catch a cold outside, what should I do?"

"Just...just kidding..." The maid stared at Yuan Wanru dumbfounded, saw her wave her hand impatiently, and ran over quickly, without knowing where the strength came from, she actually helped Zeng Chuyu away half-embracing and half-carrying.

When the two men stumbled away as if they were fleeing, Yuan Wanru dragged out from behind the tree a panicked Qing Xiang with a veil in her mouth. Now she seemed to be so frightened that she was about to faint, but But still awake.Yuan Wanru pulled off the veil from her mouth, still with a playful smile, said: "Qing Xiang, our empress is afraid that you will be the first person to kill when she wakes up!"

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!" Qing Xiang said, trembling all over, "Empress Hui Gui, you agreed that you just need to show you the brocade pouch. Well, this musk was obviously put in by you just now."

Yuan Wanru smiled slightly, and said: "It was put in just now, but you have to believe it!"

Qingxiang kowtowed again and again, and said: "I was wrong, empress, I was wrong, please spare the lowly servant girl!"

Yuan Wanru leisurely said: "If I were you, Qingxiang, I would run as far as I can. As long as you leave the palace, what can the empress do to you?"

Qingxiang looked up at Yuan Wanru's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, knowing that he had no other way to go, so he could only slump on the ground.

Yuan Xizheng has been coughing non-stop since just now, Chu Yin said softly: "Look at your temperament, why bother to be angry with her, it's not for yourself, go to rest early!"

Yuan Xizheng nodded and took his leave respectfully. Chu Yin made a gesture after watching his back disappear. Immediately, someone chased Yuan Xizheng's back.After a while, an eunuch came over and whispered something in Chu Yin's ear. Chu Yin nodded with a smile, and waved his hands to make people leave.

Chu Yin took a deep breath and looked at the repertoire on the stage leisurely. He seemed to feel that the thorn in his throat had finally been gradually removed. Ever since Yuan Xizheng started to attack Zeng Chuyu, Chu Yin gradually believed in Yuan Xizheng Really began to learn to survive in this harem.Otherwise, with Yuan Xizheng's personality, he would not pay any attention to these clowns.However, this is the harem, and the harem is trivial, sinister, and complicated, and no one can be arrogant.It can be said that Yuan Xizheng will be a very good general, able to be resourceful on the battlefield, but in the harem, he may not be able to play with an ordinary concubine.This harem will be the toughest whetstone to grind away all the edges and corners of Yuan Xizheng's body bit by bit.

"Yuan Xizheng, you will finally belong to me completely." Chu Yin took a deep breath and smiled softly.

Another figure appeared in his mind, and that person had put a lot of pressure on Chu Yin since he appeared, because he had what Chu Yin had never had.He smiled coldly at the figure, and then drank the wine in the glass.

The original imperial concubine could not get wind, so in the entire palace, only the original imperial concubine sat in a sedan chair, and the bridge stopped not far from the Wanshou Pavilion.The original imperial concubine entered the bridge, and carried it all the way to the front of Yongning Palace before landing on the bridge.The imperial concubine Yuan seemed to be overwhelmed with alcohol, so she entered the palace gate with the help of two court ladies.

The opera is still being sung on the stage, and it has been sung to the startling dream of the Peony Pavilion for a while. Although a female actress comes up, although she is heavily made up, she looks very extravagant.She opened her mouth and said: "It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the world, and it seems that they are all ruined. What is the beauty of the day, who's house is the place to enjoy the pleasure?" This was originally a boudoir resentment, but this woman sang it with a full voice. His indignation sounded like a sonorous meaning.

"Okay!" Chu Yin couldn't help blurting out, the woman's movements were very different from ordinary Huadan, just like her singing, with a sonorous, unrestrained style, which made him feel slightly moved, and he lifted it up slightly. hand, the chief eunuch stepped forward immediately.

"Go, ask me, which family is this Hua Dan?"

The chief eunuch was ordered to leave, and came back after a while to report: "Return to the emperor, this opera singer is a man, and the class master saw that his appearance is a bit more beautiful than that of a girl, so he asked him to sing Huadan."

Chu Yin was slightly taken aback, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and sighed softly, thinking that Yuan Xizheng could pretend to be a woman so vividly that he would be distracted, but unexpectedly there was another man who could pretend to be a woman to make him mistaken.

When Chu Yin was leaving the table, he showed Yutangchun's team, and seeing that Huadan was also standing among them, he smiled and said, "You sing well."

That Hua Dan did not rush, bent her waist slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Seeing that Huadan was so calm in front of him, Chu Yin couldn't help feeling a little appreciative in his heart, and said, "Have you ever thought of coming to the Palace Yuefu to work?"

The people around were all in an uproar when they heard it, they all said that this Huadan was really lucky, if she entered the palace Yuefu, she would reach the sky in one step.

Hua Dan still said calmly: "Back to the emperor, grassroots are used to wandering around the rivers and lakes. Although the palace Yuefu is good, it is not suitable for me."

Chu Yin frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that the person in front of him was a little ignorant, so he couldn't help but sullenly said: "Is it possible that Zhen's Yuefu is not as good as your Yutangchun?"

His face sank, and everyone around him was so frightened that they were silent, only Huadan said slowly: "Fei Yutangchun can compare with Yuefu in the palace, but it is only weak for three thousand, I only take a spoonful to drink."

Chu Yin was silent for a while, then Fang said: "It's a weak water for three thousand, just take a scoop to drink." After speaking, he actually walked away.

This Huadan sang so well that even the emperor's heart was moved, so naturally his value was multiplied immediately. As soon as the emperor left, a few relatives of the emperor gathered in front of Yutang's spring class to set up a meeting for the next few days.Yutangchun's fat class leader looked like a profiteer, but he was not very good at doing business, so he said: "If you are interested in Yutangchun, please go to Qinglai Inn to discuss."

When Yu Tangchun left, he asked the guards to check before he left. Any news in the palace spread quickly. The emperor was moved by this male disguised as a woman, so it was inevitable that others would take a second look. But the guards all felt that this Huadan was very imposing, the makeup on her face hadn't been removed, and she didn't necessarily have much expression on her face, just sitting there could make these palace guards dare not act rashly.

Yutangchun walked to the north gate of the palace alley, today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, all the gates where guests and artists come in and out are much more heavily guarded than usual.The imperial guard checked all their props and counted their heads carefully before letting them go.But at the west gate at this time, there was a carriage driven by Qingxiang to the gate, and a guard said: "You are not allowed to leave the palace here, all guests are allowed to leave through the south gate!"

As soon as the imperial guard exited, someone shouted: "Presumptuous!"

The imperial guard looked back, and it turned out to be the Commander, and hurriedly stepped aside.

The leader walked to Qingxiang's side and whispered, "Why is Miss Qingxiang going out tonight?"

Qingxiang only felt sweat on her back, and she said with all her strength: "Commander Ye, your majesty has something important to do!"

Commander Ye nodded, and still said in a very small voice: "Your Majesty is behind?"

No one knew better than Qing Xiang who was sitting behind her. She said in a panic, "Yes." Despite such a word, her tone of voice trembled involuntarily.

Before Commander Ye could reply, he heard Zeng Chuyu's voice from behind the carriage: "Shizi, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

Commander Ye was a little suspicious when he saw Qingxiang going out of the palace late at night, but suddenly heard Zeng Chuyu's voice, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's getting late, ma'am, do you want Xiaoshi to accompany you?"

Zeng Chuyu still said gently: "If you are interested, no need, just meet someone."

Commander Ye felt relieved, and then made a gesture of letting go. Zeng Chuyu, who fell to the bottom of the valley, also let himself out of the palace to meet someone. After returning, he immediately turned over and sat back on the queen's throne. He also won a lot of awards.Commander Ye looked at the carriage gradually disappearing into the night fog, and couldn't help guessing who it was, who could influence the situation in the palace.

The carriage rushed all the way, and soon left the city, stopped at a fork, and immediately walked out of a group of people from the dense forest, it was Yutangchun's team just now.The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yuan Xizheng came down from inside, then bowed to Yutangchun's team, and said: "My sisters thank you all righteous men for your help. I salute."

Yuan Xizheng was about to bend down, but a pair of strong hands held his arms, and a person hummed softly: "You belong to me, the one who saved me, so why should anyone thank you!"

Hearing that voice was so familiar yet so strange, familiar because he recalled those short but happy images every day, strange because Yuan Xizheng thought that he would never meet this person again in this lifetime.

Yuan Xizheng raised his head slowly, and saw from his blurred eyes that the person standing in front of him was wearing an ordinary blue cloth, but the handsome eyebrows and eyes were not Li Yan's, who else could it be.It's just that although the words are still relaxed and lazy, but the brows and eyes have seen vicissitudes, and they are no longer the arrogant, incomparable Second Highness Li Yan who is loved by thousands of people.

"If you ask me, I understand. I don't need you, my lord, and I am tired of fighting in the world. You are a man, and I treat you as a man, but I still want you to be my wife, or I will be your wife." Your wife is also fine." Li Yan said lightly: "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

His words made everyone present dumbfounded and tongue-tied.

Yuan Xizheng's lips trembled a few times, and she leaned lightly on Li Yan's shoulder, crying bitterly.They were so young back then, they were all so glamorous, they thought they were omnipotent under the heaven and earth, they bid farewell so easily, but finally found out how difficult it is to get together again.

Li Yan hugged Yuan Xizheng, closed his eyes, and seemed to have nothing to say.

Yuan Xizheng cried for a while, and seemed to realize her gaffe, Li Yan said with a smile: "It's so rare, you will cry too, um, otherwise I really can't believe what Yuan Wanru said."

Yuan Xizheng couldn't help blushing, and said: "You have nothing else to say, I'm going on my way!"

"What are you talking about, you are naturally going with me!" Li Yan smiled, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "I gave up a dozen concubines in the palace for you, I gave up the palace for you, and I gave up the throne for you. You will be so cruel that you will leave me with nothing!"

Yuan Xizheng's eyes were filled with tears for a moment, and she slowly raised her head to face Li Yan, and it seemed that thousands of words had been said in just one glance.The man in front of him looks like a dude, but he is actually full of enthusiasm, arrogant but with a pure heart, sometimes he looks like a naughty boy who hasn't grown up yet, but he is actually an upright man who can stand up for anyone The wind and cloud in the sky.

Li Yan held Yuan Xizheng's hand, turned his head and said with a smile: "Everyone has been guarding my safety since I was a child. I will say goodbye today. I don't know when we will meet again, so Li Yan will not say goodbye to everyone!"

The leader said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, this, this can't be done. This is the territory of the Southern Dynasty. Without our protection, you can easily be caught by the Southern Dynasty."

Li Yan raised his hand and stopped him from continuing, saying: "Chai Ping, our goal together is too big, and it's not easy to escape. It's better to separate and go, it's easier!"

Chai Ping lowered his head slightly, as if he had an idea in his mind, and said: "Then take care, Your Highness, I'll wait!" After finishing speaking, he didn't linger much, and turned around with his people and left.

Seeing that those people didn't turn their heads back, Li Yan sighed softly, and a chuckle came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Yuan Wanru lying on the window and said: "It seems that your highness is really unpopular, you As soon as he said to go, he left immediately!"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "You little girl, are you a gift for me to buy one and get one free? It's agreed, I buy what I like, so I don't want it!"

Yuan Wanru has always been sharp-tongued, but he didn't expect to run into an opponent when he went out, his face flushed red, and he said repeatedly: "You ungrateful, without me giving you a message, you want to be my sister-in-law, go ahead and dream! "

Yuan Xizheng chuckled, took Yuan Wanru's hand and said, "Stop playing around, time is precious, let's go!"

Yuan Wanru lowered his head slightly, and said hesitantly, "Ziqing...I, I won't go!"

Yuan Xizheng was taken aback, and said, "If you don't leave, Chu Yin won't let you go!"

Yuan Wanru smiled, rather proudly, she clutched her belly and said, "I'll be fine, I'm pregnant!"

Yuan Xizheng swallowed all the words that rushed to his lips, but looked at Yuan Wanru with a bit of discomfort and reluctance in his eyes, and after a long time, he raised his hand and gently rubbed this stubborn but affectionate sister .

"Fate in the world, there is a certain number of gatherings." Yuan Xizheng said hoarsely: "I won't force you."

Yuan Xizheng turned her head and walked in front of Qingxiang. Qingxiang kept her head down. No one wanted to escape more than her heart. Seeing Yuan Xizheng's eyes fell on her, she was so frightened that her body went limp. Immediately knelt on the carriage and said: "Madam, oh, Master Ziqing, no, no, Miss Ziqing, those things were all forced, I don't know anything about it."

Yuan Xizheng looked at this person with some disgust, and said lightly: "You send Wanru back now, don't tell me you can't deal with this matter!"

Qingxiang was so frightened that his face paled, and said: "Empress, that woman, that woman will not let me go!" Yuan Xizheng chuckled lightly, and said: "You don't need to worry about Wanrui. If Zeng Chuyu blames you, you only need to say a word, and I guarantee that you will be fine!"

"Which sentence!" Qingxiang blurted out involuntarily. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to leave the palace, especially since she left in such a hurry and didn't take any money from her savings for so many years. Now thinking about it, she feels so distressed that she can't breathe , Every penny there was bought by her with her youth and life.

"You just say that the medicine bag is wrapped with musk, the empress may not be able to detect it, how can Wan Yang not know?"

Qing Xiang was stunned, yes, how could this Musk hide from the meticulous female doctor Wan Yang, it turned out that in her eyes, a deadlock could be solved so easily.

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Of course, you didn't do Musk's work, but you did a real job helping Ziqing escape!"

Seeing that Qingxiang's bloody face turned pale again, Yuan Xizheng smiled and said: "Since you and Wanru have shared such an important secret, then Wanru and I... will leave it to you!"

Yuan Wanru patted Qingxiang's shoulder heavily with a smile, and said: "Whether or not I can give birth to the crown prince safely depends on you, and I will remember your contribution in my heart!"

Qingxiang looked like a mourning concubine, his whole face was so dark under the bright moonlight, Yuan Xizheng said coldly: "If you don't come back, Zeng Chuyu will wake up soon, and when she wakes up, she will find that you are not there. It's impossible to lie any more!"

Qingxiang hurriedly rolled and sat down, Yuan Wanru looked at Yuan Xizheng, couldn't help crying, and said: "Ziqing, I'm leaving, don't you blame me for burning Chu Sheng's mansion to death? everyone."

Yuan Xizheng touched her teardrops with her slender fingers, and comforted her: "Don't feel guilty anymore, I know Wan Ruan wants to avenge her parents too much."

Yuan Wanru nodded and opened his arms, but before she could hug Yuan Xizheng, the impatient Qing Xiang had already driven away, and Yuan Xizheng's arms that were also opened were finally empty, listening to Yuan Wanru from a distance. Weeping authentically: "Ziqing, there is one more thing I didn't tell you. You asked me to knock Concubine Shu's maid unconscious, but I killed her!"

Li Yan stood by the side speechless for a while, and finally muttered: "You two sisters are completely different, but they are really characters."

Yuan Xizheng felt a little embarrassed and helpless, sighed softly, and said, "Let's go!"

Li Yan pulled out another carriage from the dense forest with a smile, and the two got into the carriage. Li Yan drove the carriage and said with a smile: "Among the Yuan brothers and sisters, you are far less vicious than Zeng Chuyu, and you are far less cunning than Yuan Wanru, so these three You are the smartest and the stupidest among me." After a long time, he said softly, "That's great."

Yuan Xizheng glanced at the way he came here, knowing that he will say goodbye to those two people forever in this life. They are the only relatives he left in this world. A large piece was empty.Yuan Xizheng was thinking wildly, suddenly the person in front half turned around, and held his hand with one hand, warm and powerful.Yuan Xizheng gently raised his hand, and clasped it tightly.

Although Chu Yin drank a few more glasses today, he didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he felt restless in his heart.

"Weak water is three thousand, just take one gourd." Chu Yin threw the book in his hand, and said, "You are really a common man. If you are an emperor, you will be kind to the world. How can you just take a gourd to drink?" Thinking over and over in his heart, he disdained this sentence very much, but he also seemed to have a deep sense of frustration. He faintly felt that this actor seemed to be stepping on a higher place than himself.

This place...was where Yuan Xizheng once stood, but he has never been able to reach it, so he can only pull Yuan Xizheng down, only in this way can he own Yuan Xizheng.But this place, an actor stepped on it lightly, which made Chu Yin feel a feeling of anger after being silent.He suddenly and clearly felt the actor's contempt, that kind of contempt in the dead of night made him feel that even though he had all the world, he had nothing.

"Come on, drive Yongning Palace!" Chu Yin said coldly.

"promise."

Chu Yin got on the driver's seat and walked towards Yongning Palace through the imperial garden. With his eyes closed, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from ahead.

"Go and see, what's going on?" Chu Yin said angrily.

The chief eunuch trotted over quickly, turned back after a while, and whispered: "Back to the emperor, a court lady... was killed and pushed into the lake, but a minister got drunk and slipped into the lake. They found her body when they were trying to save people."

"The maid was killed?" Chu Yin asked back in surprise, he never thought that someone would kill someone in his palace under his nose.

Chu Yin got off the car and walked to the corpse in person. The guards retreated quickly when they saw the emperor approaching.The maid's neck was cut open with a sword, and the wound had been soaked in water for some time, and it was white and slightly rolled up to the sides, showing a ferocious look under the lamplight.

"Which palace lady is this?"

"Back to the emperor, this seems to be the personal maid of Concubine Shu."

Chu Yin frowned slightly, raised his head and said, "Have you visited Concubine Shu's palace?"

The guards showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "It's not too late to go back to the emperor, besides... Concubine Shu is probably resting at this time."

Chu Yin walked around the corpse, and suddenly someone said, "The eunuch from Concubine Shu's Palace is here."

The big eunuch rushed over panting, saw the maid's body at a glance, and was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"What's going on?" Chu Yin asked coldly.

The eunuch just found out that Chu Yin was present at this moment, and quickly knelt down with a plop. He hadn't waited for Mu Zisu to return to the palace, so he kept wandering around here.Ever since Muzisu had a miscarriage, she has been in a bad mood, always talking about something, and the eunuch dared not look for her blatantly.After such a fuss, he heard from a distance that Concubine Shu's personal maid had died, so he hurried over to take a look, only to frighten him out of his wits, thinking that Mu Zisu had also been killed.

"You said... Concubine Shu hasn't returned to the palace yet?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Yin pondered for a while, then he suddenly raised his head and said, "All the guards, follow me to Yongning Palace!"
