When Spring Comes

"See Shengjia?" Huachun raised an eyebrow.

"Because every time before I see Shengjia, Nie Cairen will smoke expensive incense." Red Moss said: "The other servants dare not say, but once the incense is incense, Nie Cairen must go to see the emperor. People came to her palace and told them a few words, it was probably to pass on the emperor's will, so Nie Cai would be so enthusiastic about going out."

As a result, I didn't expect to be able to come back after I went out.

"Did she not take the palace man when she went out?"

"I brought it, but the palace man came back halfway, saying that he was taking the cloak for the empress. When she took the cloak and went back, she could not find it. It took two days to see it in the lotus pond."

A bit creepy, Huachun couldn't help but shiver: "Who did Nie Cai have grudges with before his life?"

Red Moss hesitated.

Qing Niao said in a low voice: "If you know anything, say it boldly. Our damsel is the most favored in the palace now. No one is afraid and can protect you."

"...The slaves and maidservants are not sure whether they will be grudges or not, but the most frequent contacts with Nie Cai are Empress Hui Hui and Lan Zhaoyi." Red Moss whispered: "Before Nie Cairen was killed, he was with Lan Zhaoyi. Have a meal together."

"How can I hear people say that Cairen Nie and Concubine Hui are still celebrating the festival?" Huachun raised an eyebrow.

Red Moss whispered: "It's not a holiday. It's just that after Nie Cai was pampered, he was unwilling to be at the mercy of the concubine as before, so he pretended to be sick and avoided the invitation of Concubine Hui several times. Sent someone to Nie Cairen's palace."

With this little news, it is indeed impossible to prove the relationship between Concubine Hui and Nie Cairen's death.

After thinking about it, Hua Chun suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait, before Nie Cairen died, did he receive the invitation of his majesty to go to the lotus pond?"

The red moss nodded slightly: "It should be so."

With a dry laugh, Huachun turned his head and asked Qing Niao: "What did Cai Ruier say, where did the emperor let me go?"

Qing Qi paled, paused for a while, and uttered three words: "Lotus pond."

Good guy, do you want to start with her too? Hua Chun pursed her lips and waved: "Red moss, go down first."

"Yes!" Finally able to leave, she ran faster than anyone else.

The room was quiet for an instant, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. After a long while, the young man said: "The servant will go and tell the emperor, right?"

"You let others go, you stay." Hua Chun said with a serious expression.

"What else does the master want to discuss with the servant?" Qing Qi was curious.

Hua Chun shook his head: "I'm just a little scared simply."

Qing Niao: "..."

She went out and asked Rui'er to inform her, she turned back and sat with her on the soft couch with Huachun's hand.

"We are all good citizens who abide by laws and regulations. Haven't any death happened around us?" Hua Chun asked.

Qing Niao nodded: "You haven't been to Dalian Hospital since you were young."

"So I am not counseling, it is a normal physiological reaction of people." She straightened her chest and said: "The legs are weak."

Unable to laugh or cry, Qing Qi said: "There is still the emperor supporting you, what are you afraid of? Why don't you take advantage of this time and use the trick to get the snake out of the hole."

"It sounds amazing." Huachun nodded: "But I'm afraid of death."

Go eagerly as bait, what if something really happens?

"I understand." Qing Niao nodded: "So we are going to be thorough before going."

After all, I still have to go! Huachun pursed her lips and sighed. It's not easy to be a concubine. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I tend to go to the mountains.

After a while, Rui'er came back to report: "The emperor said that he knows, please feel free to go."

"Ok."

After taking two deep breaths, Huachun spent dinner with a heavy heart, wiped her mouth gracefully, took the palace man and the cloak, and set foot on the way to the lotus pond.

The sun set, and the surrounding chill was surging up to envelop people. She walked with the people, and asked Rui'er uneasy: "Are you sure the emperor is ready?"

"The slave servant didn't enter the Zichen Hall, but the attendant next to the emperor came out to answer in person, saying that the emperor made the empress rest assured."

Sounds a little mysterious? Huachun pursed her lips and glanced at the five or six palace people behind her, some of them were given to her by Yu Wenjie and martial artists.

There shouldn't be any major problems, right?

Seeing that the lotus pond was about to arrive, Huachun was excited and stepped forward, but accidentally stepped on the empty foot and twisted her ankle.

"Oh!" Tears were sore, she looked down and saw that one of the square blue bricks above the ground had just been dented by her steps.

The strength is big enough...

"Master, are you okay?" Qing frowned and hurried up to help her.

"Twisted my foot." Huachun flat mouth: "It hurts."

Qing Qi lowered her head and was about to look at her ankle, but heard a voice from the rockery nearby: "What's wrong?"

Huachun looked up and saw Lan Zhaoyi frowning.

Reminiscent of Red Moss, she felt chills behind her back when she saw this person, and her face must have a pitiful look: "Lan Zhaoyi, I twisted my foot."

"Why is this careless?" Lan Zhaoyi squatted down at her feet with concern, stretched out her hand and squeezed, and looked at the large group of people behind her: "So many people followed, didn't help the master? "

Qing Ling pursed her lips, looked at her twice, and turned around and said, "What's the use of bringing so many people out? Who can afford to delay seeing the emperor?"

A group of people behind him were silent, and Qing Niao continued: "You guys, go to the front and find the emperor, and give a report. The rest of you will go back and look for someone."

"Hua 嫔 is just a concubine, where can the shoulders sit?" Lan Zhaoyi said: "The Xiyuan Palace is not far away. You might as well ask Concubine Xi, she will definitely agree."

"It's reasonable." Huachun waved his hand: "You go, stay green and wait."

Qing Niao looked down at her when he heard the words, and suddenly felt that she saw the heroic sense of generosity on her face.

Anyway, there are secret guards, as for that?

The palace people answered one after another, Lan Zhaoyi glanced at Huachun: "The empress is really moved by the concubine's affection for the emperor, and her ankle is twisted, so she still wants to see her majesty."

"The emperor I like, I have to go to see you when you kneel down." Huachun looked up at the sky sadly: "Who knows how many more people can see in the future?"

Lan Zhaoyi was taken aback, stood up and supported her arm and said, "My concubine is on the way, how about helping you to meet the emperor?"

As he said, he added: "Before seeing the emperor, my concubine will naturally retreat without interruption."

"You are such a good person." Huachun said with emotion, "Thank you."

Lan Zhaoyi was accompanied by only one palace man, and the four of them walked to the lotus pond together, without speaking any more.

Huachun is a little confused, what is Lan Zhaoyi for? There are so many people in the palace, they have seen her with herself, and later if she falls into the pool somehow, then many people should testify that it is related to Lan Zhaoyi, isn't she afraid of being involved?

"There's something in the corner of the empress's eye." When approaching the lotus pond, Lan Zhaoyi glanced at her, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her eyes with her hand: "Don't move."

Qing frowned, subconsciously trying to stop her, but Lan Zhaoyi really carefully wiped the filth off Huachun's eyes, and just twice.

Huachun blinked, stretched out her hand and rubbed it: "Thank you."

"We are at the place in front. If you see the emperor, your concubine will have to salute." Lan Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Then send you here, and the concubine will leave first."

Is this gone? Huachun raised her eyebrows, nodded, and watched Lan Zhaoyi go away along the way.

"What do you mean?" Qing Niao couldn't understand. "There are no people. Let's go to the lotus pond to play by ourselves?"

Huachun thought for a while and glanced at the sparkling pool water in the distance: "Past."

The emperor is naturally not here, and he is probably still discussing important matters with the group of ministers in the Zichen Hall. Huachun walked around the pond and tried again with branches. The water was deep and it was not a problem to drown people, but how did he fall so that he would float to the surface two days later?

"Are there any movements?" Huachun asked Qing Niao.

Qing Niao shook his head, watching all around, no one. Even if the emperor does not come, what does it mean that even a murderer does not come? What about letting them dove?

"Is it the only one who can do it?" Huachun pursed her lips, looked at Qing Ling and said: "Would you like to go back first?"

The green frown raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid?"

And the dark guard, Huachun motioned with his eyes.

Okay, Qing Niao nodded: "The servants go to help the people who borrowed their shoulders. They don't have enough face, I'm afraid Concubine Xi will not."

"Yeah." Huachun responded.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and the surrounding area became quiet, and there was a sound of insects from time to time.

She was so tight in her heart that she knew that safety was guaranteed, and she was also afraid of the sudden jump out to give her a shock.

However, not long after squatting on the edge of the pool, she actually felt sleepy, and this sleepiness was coming so fiercely. Before she could react, the whole body's center of gravity was unbalanced and she fell to the edge of the pool.

A black shadow rushed out of the bushes, tied the unconscious Huachun with various hands, tied the stone with a slipknot, and pushed it into the pool.

"Wow!" A small splash of water splashed, and the two black shadows were relieved, and were about to leave, but they turned their heads to see eight secret guards silently surrounding them.

"what!"

When the thief was caught and frightened to death, before he had time to resist, the eight guards rushed to hold them down, and then the green curls who came back flew at the speed of the 100-meter swimming test in the university. The same jumped into the lotus pond.

The water in the pool was muddy, and it took her anxiously for a long time to get the person up, and quickly put it on the shore for first aid.

"How can you faint if you are so good?" she muttered while pressing her chest, Qing Niao was very anxious, guessing that she was almost vomiting, and he quickly asked someone to take her back to the royal doctor.

The two murderers fell into the net, but they wanted to commit suicide but were controlled by the dark guard in a professional way. When the emperor received the news, even though Li Zhongtang was still chattering, he came directly to the Hall of Yangxin.

"What's the matter?" Yu Wenjie frowned, looked at the person on the bed who had no dry hair, took a veil to wrap her, and rubbed it.

Qing Niao asked the emperor curiously: "Has the emperor received any notice from the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart?"

"What kind of gift?" The emperor frowned: "I have been talking to Li Zhongtang in the Zichen Hall, and no one came in to tell about it."

Rui'er, who was next to her, turned pale, and said quickly: "The slave-maid went to the Zichen Palace before, and the father-in-law next to the emperor also came out to tell the slave-maid that you know about the lady's going to the lotus pond, so she can rest assured."

After half of his face was black, Yu Wenjie looked at Duke Qin next to him, who hurriedly bowed: "The servant will check it out now."

The imperial doctor checked the pulse, and said after a long while: "The lady should have taken the drug by mistake, so she was unconscious and there was nothing serious about her body."

Drugged?

Qing Frowning frowned: "Supper is served to the master after the slave and maidservant have tried it. If the master is drugged, it is impossible for the slave and maid to do nothing at all."

After listening for a long time, the emperor said to the imperial doctor: "Just prescribe a prescription to drive away the cold, and the rest will go out."

"Yes." Everyone replied and stepped back, only Qing Niao and Rui Er did not move.

"I just didn't come for a day, why did such a big thing happen?"

Yu Wenjie's face was so ugly that the two of them knelt down in fright.

Ruier said: "The emperor Mingjian, today it is the father-in-law of Zichen Temple who came to pass the message to the servants, saying that when the emperor went to the lotus pond, the servants and servants relayed the words to the servants. Later, the servants felt that something was wrong and asked the servants to ask again. The slave and maid went, it’s okay for the father-in-law, just go. So... the emperor forgive me!"

Qing frowned, raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then swept Saury's fearfully.

The emperor knew, and said solemnly: "You go out first."

"……Yes."

It was confirmed that the man had left, and the gate of the temple was closed. Qing Yucai said: "The beginning of the matter was what Ruier said, but the slave and maid had something to say about the passage."

Looking at her twice, the emperor nodded: "You said."

"In the afternoon, Red Moss confessed clues about the death of Nie Cairen, saying that before she died, she received a message that she would go to the Lotus Lake to see her Majesty. This incident is a bit strangely consistent with the message the master received today, so the master was the second Du sent someone to Zichen Palace to confirm with the emperor, and then decided to use himself as bait to see if he could attract the murderer."

"As a result, I met Lan Zhaoyi on the road. Although Lan Zhaoyi left after a few words, according to Hongtai, Nie Cai had a chat with Lan Zhaoyi before he died."

"The slave servant doesn't know why the master is in a coma, but this matter must be inseparable from Lan Zhaoyi."

There is reason and evidence, and the analysis is reasonable. It is indeed the person next to her.

Yu Wenjie nodded to show that he understood, and then half held Huachun in his arms, dried her hair, and fed two antidote.

"Next time there will be such a thing, I will nod in person before doing it." He whispered, "Be careful in everything."

Qing Qiao responded, but before the emperor's order to get up, she had to kneel all the time, thinking that when he noticed it, she should let her leave, right?

As a result, for a full half an hour, the emperor was kneeling as if he had forgotten her, without saying a word.

His knee hurts, Qing Niao couldn't help but look up, but saw Yu Wenjie frowning and staring at the person on the bed, motionless.

What's the matter, you can't wake up people even if you look at it! Qing Ling pursed his lips, and said: "The murderer is still locked in the side hall. Anyway, the master can't wake up now. Why don't the emperor take a look?"

Recovered, Yu Wenjie nodded, got up and walked out.

Qing Niao also took the opportunity to stand up and bowed his knees to send it off.

The two murderers were both eunuchs, and this can be verified by one inspection. A bit special is that these two eunuchs are all martial arts.

"Whose palace are you from?" the emperor asked.

For such a simple and rude question, the two naturally refused to answer, but Yu Wenjie's next sentence was: "The palace maidens in the palace, I remember that they have a booklet, including who they have followed and in which palace. Served. Do you think it is difficult to check?"

With their legs weakened, the two palace men kowtow again and again: "The emperor is forgiving, the minions are served in Lan Zhaoyi's palace!"

Is it really Lan Zhaoyi? The emperor frowned. Was such a gentle woman also driven into a lunatic by this harem?
