The nine princesses of the East Palace

I slowly raised my head, looked at him, and said, "I want to see Xu Niang."

Li Chengyin looked at me for a while, didn't speak, just pulled me into the hall.Put the stove in my hand, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to me.

I opened it and took a look, I was shocked, this stitch is Xu Niang...

I looked at Li Chengyin suspiciously, but he didn't explain, he just said: "It's too late today, it's a bit inconvenient, let's do it tomorrow."

I didn't seem to believe what I heard, so, Xu Niang...isn't dead?But was sent away by Li Chengyin?

Li Cheng Yin said softly: "This matter must be kept secret and must not be disclosed."

"I know, I'm not stupid." I said.It is true that the matter of Xu Niang must not be known to others, otherwise not only Xu Niang will be arrested, but Li Chengyin will also be implicated, bullying the emperor is a serious crime, if the emperor is unhappy and punish him, the ministers who have old grudges with him will definitely It will be worse.

"Then can you stop frowning and worrying now?" He raised his hand and tapped on my forehead.

I slapped him away, pursed my lips and said, "Who's worried? I'm in a good mood, I'm so happy."

"I didn't know who it was just now. I was standing in the yard in the rain and wind stupidly, and my hands were so red that I didn't even know to enter the house." Li Chengyin frowned, as if thinking of something, and said to me, "Don't change it yet. clothes."

I touched the clothes on my body, it seemed that it was indeed a little wet, so I quickly changed it, otherwise he would definitely be nagging non-stop.

The next day, I woke up early, specially asked Di Mo to find me old clothes, put on an ordinary high bun, and followed Li Chengyin out of the palace.Because he had already made arrangements, leaving the palace went smoothly.

We took a carriage and went all the way to Changting.Li Cheng Yin got out of the car, and I got out of the car too.There was already a carriage parked in front of the carriage, and standing in front of the carriage was a woman wrapped in a headscarf and wearing coarse clothes, she was Xu Niang, when she saw Li Chengyin and me, she knelt down and saluted, "Servant, thank Your Highness and the Crown Princess Great kindness."

"Get up." Li Chengyin said, "It's Xiaofeng's intention to save you."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, for saving me." After hearing this, Xu Niang bowed to me again.I was really ashamed, so I quickly helped her up, and said to her, "Xu Niang, you have left the palace, now you are free, you will go to the mountains and the road is far away, take care all the way."

"Prince Princess too, take care." Xu Niang bowed to me again.

"It's time, let's go." Li Chengyin looked at the sky and said to Xu Niang.

Only then did Xu Niang turn around and get into the carriage.The carriage moved slowly, farther and faster, and gradually turned into a black shadow on the official road.

"Shall we go back too?" I said to Li Cheng Yin.

"En." Li Chengyin got into the car first, and pulled me up as well.

I was very energetic right now, so I asked Li Chengyin what happened yesterday, I saw Xu Niang just now, she looks pretty good, she doesn't look like she just had a miscarriage.

Li Chengyin refused to reveal at first, he insisted on me kissing him, after kissing him several times, he was willing to say.

It turned out that although Xu Niang was hit, the fall was not severe, and the child was still there. The blood Gong E saw was from several bags of chicken blood that had been prepared in advance. The imperial physician who made the diagnosis was in the hands of Li Chengyin, so everyone listened to him Yes, so Xu Niang "died"...

"You didn't tell me beforehand, you scared me to death." After hearing that, I was happy and angry at the same time. I was happy that Xu Niang was really fine, but angry that he was scaring me without telling me. It was really too much. Damn it.

Li Chengyin turned his body sideways, looked at me and said: "Although there has always been a plan, success or failure depends on the right time, place and people. If you want to hit it with one blow, the chance is too small. I think after the matter is resolved, Let me tell you again. Besides, this is not just saving Xu Niang's life, but also a desperate struggle with the forces in the court. If I tell you, you probably won't understand, and if you don't know, you will be less troubled. "

Although what he said made some sense, I didn't like it when I heard it. I stared straight at him and said word by word: "Are you turning a corner and thinking I'm stupid? Let me tell you, my two Tianqin is diligent and diligent, and I have read a lot of military books. I know a lot, and I won’t hold you back. Tell me about some things, and I might be able to give you some advice. Don’t you people from the Central Plains say something? 'After three days of farewell, we will treat each other with admiration'?"

He was a little uncomfortable being looked at by me, so he let go and said: "Next time, next time I will definitely tell you."

"That's about the same." I said, "I don't like to hear about the political affairs in the court, so you don't have to tell me, but you are not allowed to hide from me about things related to me."

"Yes." He agreed simply.

I have walked the way back to the palace many times, but every time I saw something different, today I saw a couple chasing each other with kitchen knives, I really wanted to go down and ask what was going on, But before I went down, they reconciled as before, just like a joke.However, Li Chengyin and I are sometimes like them, quarreling for no reason, and then reconciled for no reason, the relationship between husband and wife is so strange.

Back in the palace, just after noon, Li Chengyin was going to have dinner with me, Pei Zhao came to see him, he left in a hurry, before leaving, he told me not to move around in the East Palace.

I asked Yong Niang what happened in the palace.Yong Niang said that Concubine Gao broke into Chen Guifei's palace with a dagger last night, intending to assassinate Chen Guifei, but she was captured by the Shenwu Army on the spot and put in prison. She hit the wall and died. The body was completely cold, and her forehead was covered with winding bloodstains.

I was extremely shocked, Yong Niang said that Chen Guipin was fine, so I was a little relieved.

Chen Guipin is Mingyue's elder sister, her real name is Chen Yan, her family was ruined since she was a child, she lived on the street, and was sold into Mingyufang by human traffickers.That day, she risked her life to save her and almost died, so the emperor brought her back to the palace, ordered the imperial doctor to treat her injuries, and ordered Gong'e to take care of her daily life, made her a noble concubine, and let her live in Yishui Palace.

In the eyes of others, this is a great gift, but sister Mingyue doesn't seem as comfortable as when she was in Mingyufang.In the past half a month, I have seen her twice. She is wearing a concubine's costume, with exquisite makeup, and looks very angry, but she doesn't look happy at all.She said that she had discovered a terrible secret, and that she might have no hope of revenge. I asked about it, but she refused to say more.

I originally wanted to rush to Yishui Palace to see Sister Mingyue, but it was reported outside that she brought Gong'e to the East Palace.

I hastily asked someone to burn the earth dragon, and made the hall warmer. Sister Mingyue has just recovered from her injury, and her body is weak, so she should not catch cold.

"It's still alive in your palace. The flowers, plants and trees are growing very well. You can play with the cat and the gerbil in your spare time. I really envy you." Sister Mingyue said as soon as she came in.

I smiled and said, "If my sister likes it, tell Father, he will definitely order someone to prepare it properly."

"No." Sister Mingyue shook her head, "You don't understand, it's better for me to have nothing to do with His Majesty. After two days, I will beg him to allow me to leave the palace."

"But, father, will he...will agree?" Sister Mingyue looked weak, but she was very strong-tempered. She would definitely do what she said, but the emperor should have feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't go to her palace often In the middle, listen to her playing and singing.

"Answer or not, I have to go. I found my father, and I told him that I will not take revenge. Our father and daughter depend on each other, and we will find a remote mountain forest and live an ordinary life." Sister Mingyue laughed as she spoke. Laugh, a little forcedly.
