The more I think about it, the more depressed I feel, it's like holding my breath and I can't spit it out.

Shen Yanhuan simply picked up a pen and found a stack of white paper and began to write a copybook for Xiao Yege carefully stroke by stroke. He had never been to school since he was a child, and he was also a novice who taught him to read and write. He couldn't even write a few romantic poems, he smiled helplessly, and began to calm down and write the sword manual silently.

He wrote so intently that he didn't even notice that Xiao Yege came to him after obediently practicing today's fifty times, but when he was writing, he thought of Qi Yuan writing letters for those old people. He can always imitate other people's handwriting, so what about his own... what does it look like?

At the same time, a man came in front of the gate of Linhuazhai, who made the gatekeeper in a dilemma.

"Grandma, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, it's just that His Highness the Fourth Highness has entered the palace this morning and hasn't come back yet, so we can't just let you in!"

Grandma Huzi stared at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said angrily: "Hey! You little baby! I'm here to find Daoist Qi, so who cares about your highness?"

The two servants complained endlessly, what should we do?It is impossible to really drive the old people away.

They were entangled, but they heard the sound of the carriage rolling over the stone slabs of the long street, and when they looked up, it was Qi Yuan who had returned. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down to salute, and led the carriage for him.

"Grandma? Why did you come here so far? Go down first."

The last sentence was addressed to the two servants, and as if they had been pardoned, they quickly moved out of the way so that it would be easier for Qi Yuan to help Grandma Huzi in.

"Hi! Isn't this Aunt Zhao's new grandson at the village head a few days ago? My wife, I made some peanut candies and specially left some for the young master. I have been asking for a long time just to find this place."

Grandma Huzi's eyes were dim, and she couldn't see clearly what the scene in the courtyard was like. She just felt that the room that Qi Daochang brought her in was really bright and spacious.

"Why didn't you see the young master?" Grandma Huzi asked.

Qi Yuan poured tea for her, clinked the cup and waited until it was not so hot before putting it into Grandma Huzi's hands. Everything was done very decently, "He has something to... go home. He must be very happy to bring candy."

"Yo..." Huzi's grandma frowned and patted his hand, "Did you quarrel? The young master is innocent and straightforward. If there is something wrong with him, don't worry too much about him."

Qi Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, Grandma Huzi also had a relationship with him once, not to mention she couldn't see clearly, so she knew she was protecting him, "Grandma, don't worry, we'll be fine, he only left because something happened." of."

"Then..." Grandma Huzi asked tentatively, "Then will he come back?"

"Return, definitely!" Qi Yuan thought in his heart if he did not return.

Grandma Huzi nodded, "That's good, you put it away quickly, and wait for him to come back to eat, but don't let the troublesome children steal it, I think the two at the door are very sneaky..."

……

Huge injustice!

After finally having grandma Huzi sent away, Qi Yuan sat alone in the room but didn't know what to do.

Obviously there are so many things at hand, Di Jing's tribute will arrive in the imperial city in a few days, and the investigation of the secret passages of the palace agencies has just begun. Right in front of him, he also just wanted to throw himself into the bed.

It would be great if the daughter-in-law was here at this time, so that she could sleep with her in her arms, and she would be able to resist even big things.But now the person is gone, before leaving...

"Tsk, heartless little bastard." Qi Yuan whispered.

After thinking for a while, he got up from the bed, took out a pen and paper and wrote three large sheets, then ran to the backyard to toss together, finally caught a carrier pigeon and tied the letter firmly to its leg Toss in the air.

The funeral of the old lady was arranged at the end of the month. In the past few days, the royal city was full of plains, and the white curtains almost blocked out the sky.

Because the Empress Dowager specifically told her not to make a big fuss and waste people’s money, the national mourning day was changed from seven days to three days. The king of Liang and the queen worshiped the queen, and the four princes rode in front, escorting the coffin of the old queen mother all the way. To the imperial mausoleum.

The second prince, Qi Yu, heard the bad news not long after he woke up. He lost weight again, and he was so weak that he could hardly sit on the horse. Qi Shu had to carefully help him along the way.

The choice of guarding the mausoleum was requested by Qi Mo himself. The matter in the court cannot be separated from the eldest brother, the second brother is ill, and the fourth brother is having a headache about Di Jing and Gu You, so he is the only one who can go away .

What's more, only by leaving the palace can Su Lan's safety be guaranteed to the maximum extent when Di Jingren enters the palace.

At this moment, Su Lan was wearing plain clothes and walking with a kind of accompanying servant supporting the coffin. Occasionally, Qi Mo's eyes met his, and Su Lan just gave him a shallow smile, signaling him not to worry.

The imperial mausoleum was not far from the royal city, and they arrived as soon as it got dark. The four of them took turns guarding the mausoleum for the first night, leaving Qi Mo here to guard the mausoleum.

"Are you tired? After a long day of driving yesterday, I only slept for a while at night."

Su Lan moistened a cloth with hot water and wiped his face. Qi Mo's face was covered with sand and incense ash along the road. He didn't look very sloppy, but he looked very tired.

Qi Mo was in a trance at first, but when he was touched by the warm cloth, he suddenly woke up. He quickly took the things from the hands and started to do it himself, "Alan, please rest, we were not very tired from riding horses yesterday, you go After walking all the way, does your foot hurt? Let me see!"

Su Lan avoided him with a smile, "Why would I be tired? I've walked even a long way. When I was in Di Jing, in order to pick moonflowers on the glacier for Auntie, it took three months just to climb the mountain. God, it's so cold in the glacier...but I feel a rare freedom."

It's rare for Qi Mo to see him mention his past, so he couldn't bear to interrupt him this time.

There was a soft smile in Su Lan's eyes, "The big piece of moonflower growing on the glacier is so beautiful."

"It's okay, we'll have a chance to see it in the future." Qi Mo whispered, "Draw it and give it to you."

"Okay." They touched their foreheads together, snuggling up in this small courtyard built next to the imperial tomb.

Contrary to the tranquility and peace on their side, the Daliang Palace is about to turn upside down.

In the huge palace city, the tall man at the Liangwang station commanded the guards to carry several tall things to various places in the palace. Fu Yueying heard from him that this thing is called a "crane" because the materials are limited, so it can only be made. In this way, the manpower was activated.

The little palace maids watched these big fellows from a distance and dared not approach them, chatting about something, even giving out admiration from time to time.

The little eunuch who was put in by King Di Jing to monitor Su Lan earlier disappeared, and everyone tacitly didn't ask.

In fact, Qi Yuan has now thrown him into the Spring Tower, and asked these girls to "take good care of him", as long as he can still breathe, Qi Yuan doesn't care what he looks like.

Hearing the news of the tribute entering the city, King Liang's only second harem beauty couldn't sit still.

Song Guanya dug out the rouge gouache from the bottom of the press box, pearl ointment from the South China Sea, Huahongzhi from the North Ridge, and incense powder from the Western Regions. A dozen palace men carried them to the Gu Lianxiang Palace, and a burst of smoke and dust filled the entire palace. There was a strong aroma inside, Fu Yueying couldn't help but sneezed twice when she came in.

"What are you doing?" Fu Yueying looked in surprise at the pale-faced Concubine Hui who was trying her best to make Concubine Shu's face as pale as hers.

Song Guanya clapped her hands and choked herself, but it didn't stop her from speaking, "Sister came just in time! Let me clean up for you too! I heard that this time Di Jing people brought their concubine and princess Come on, we can't lose the appearance!"

Fu Yueying was angry and funny, she turned her head and asked Gu Lianxiang, "You just let her make trouble?"

Gu Lianxiang looked like she was bullying her with a good temper, she shrugged, "It's good to be happy, besides, Sister Guanya is right, what's wrong with us just overpowering them in terms of momentum, we are just richer than them .”

It was impossible to refute.

"But you're too used to her." Fu Yueying said helplessly, but she was just talking casually, Song Guanya's personality was aggressive and carefree, but she was not a bad person.

Sure enough, she was not very happy, "Sister, how could you say that in front of me!" She finished powdering Gu Lianxiang's face, and stretched her claws to her long, smooth hair.

Looking back at this, Lianxiang finally stopped her, "Stop making trouble, let Tuantuan bring someone to clean up for us at night, and then I will let her clean up in a good manner without losing face, okay?"

Song Guanya snorted twice, but didn't make any further noise, and only asked the little maid to put away the things, so that she could use them later in the evening.

That is a good thing she cherished...

"What's the matter with sister coming to see us?" Gu Lianxiang calmed down Hui Fei who was having a temper, but she couldn't tell that Song Guanya was actually the older of the two of them.

Fu Yueying was not too polite, she found a free place to sit down, touched the small oranges on the table, and peeled them to eat, "It's nothing special, Xiao Yuan has already led someone to secretly replace the tribute boxes, and he really messed with those few oranges." When I’m outside the palace, I’m here just to let you guys know, don’t give them a chance to open the box at the banquet.”

Song Guanya admired him so much, "Xiaoyuan is so powerful, has he already attained Taoism and become a fairy? How can he do anything!"

Mothers naturally like to hear others praise their children, the corners of Fu Yueying's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

But he still pretended to be calm and said: "Of course, Xiaoyuan is a Taoist priest. They must know some tricks to be a Taoist priest..."

Gu Lianxiang: Empress, I think you may have misunderstood the Taoist profession.
