Who knew that the next night came the bad news: Empress Dowager, died.

It is said that the Empress Dowager suddenly suffered from a sudden illness when she went to Guyu Temple to burn incense, and the rest were unknown.

Too sudden.

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long time. Forget it. Yesterday was the fourteenth day, today was the fifteenth day, and it was the day when the Empress Dowager went to the temple to burn incense. As for how this person died...

When Xiaoxiao rushed to Xiaotang Village, the first thing grandmother said when she closed the door was: "Fortunately, she died in Guyu Temple. If she was in Baozhu Temple, she might have to find our house."

"Is the Queen Mother's death because of that person?" Xiaoxiao asked.

My grandfather was so secretive: "The palace was silent. It was even more difficult to inquire about these things as ours. I heard that the emperor was furious and even summoned officials in charge of the Ji family case to the palace. It seems that someone has discovered that the cause of death of the two people is similar."

Xiaoxiao didn't say anything for a while, and Gong Basheng was considered revenge? But it made people feel inexplicably empty.

Xiaoxiao remembered the vague dream he had last night. Gong Basheng really avenged himself without any delay. His absurd dream came true.

The Lord is angry? Of course, the Lord will be angry. If the Empress Dowager Zhen was killed by Qin Yu as Gong Basheng said, the death situation would definitely be extremely bizarre and terrifying - after a long period of painful torture, it would be like being burned to death in the end.

Grandfather's voice came: "It seems that this person has made several preparations. The birthday assassination is probably the last layer of guarantee. If you guess correctly, this person should have visited several major temples on both the Dragon Boat Festival and the 10th day of the lunar calendar."

"Then, what's going on over Qiyuan?" Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little confused.

"As usual, Gong Basheng went into seclusion and practiced the piano as usual, and did not see any visitors."

Xiaoxiao only feels that every day is full of infinite variables, and his mind can't keep up.

"How is Shunhua over there? Did she hear this letter?"

The old lady snorted softly: "As soon as she got into the night, she started cooking sheep and slaughtering cows, singing and dancing."

“…”

But no, the empress dowager was also one of the masterminds who framed the Qin family at that time. When his enemy died, Shunhua naturally applauded.

...

Xiaoxiao doesn't want to spend the night in Xiaotang Village tonight. Perhaps because she was sleeping very uneasy last night, her feet have finally come to the ground, so she wants to go back to Zhuli Pavilion to have a good rest.

Two girls were carrying lanterns in front and Xiao Dier was fanning the side. One reason was that the weather was really hot, and the other was that it was driving mosquitoes. The weather was a bit abnormal this year.

The master and servant went to the Bibo Lobby and found that there seemed to be someone in the Chenbi Pavilion in front of him to rest and chat, and a large halo flashed in the pavilion.

When Xiaoxiao approached, she realized that she had surrounded the pavilion with a circle of gauze, which was equivalent to a green gauze cabinet built around the pavilion, which did not affect ventilation and prevent mosquitoes, and could also enjoy the lake view at night through the gauze. I don’t know who can enjoy it so much.

"So it's the fifth sister, come in and eat melons!" A head stuck out from the blue sash cabinet, and it turned out to be a smile.

"I said, who else is playing in the garden at this time? It turns out they are your sisters." Xiaoxiao also walked into the shawei with a smile. When he went in, he felt particularly cool. It turned out that there was ice inside.

In addition to the girls serving the pavilion, there were only two sisters Yanran and Smiling. At this moment, the Eight Immortals table was cut with red-fleshed watermelons, and there was a fruit and refreshment on the side.

Yanran had already sent a tooth of watermelon to Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Fifth sister, please try it quickly. This is the watermelon my father asked someone to bring from the Western Regions. It is very sandy and sweet, and it is bigger than ours!"

"That's really rare." Xiaoxiao took the watermelon and tasted it. It tasted very good and relieved the heat.

Yanran shook the octagonal ball fan and asked the girls to wait outside the sao. It seemed that there was something private to say.

Xiaoxiao was embarrassed to let the girls go out to feed mosquitoes, but saw Yanran saying seriously: "The fourth sister is really unlucky. The Bai family was going to come to propose marriage in the past two days, but who knew that when the Queen Mother's funeral was over, the whole Kyoto would not have to do weddings. If you propose marriages, you can only avoid it, otherwise you would be disrespectful."

Xiaoxiao held the watermelon and took a light bite: "Good things will be a lot, and I'll just propose marriage in a few days."

"Oh, after a few days, it will take at least half a year." Yanran's voice was very low, "The current emperor is a filial son, but now the empress dowager is dead again. This funeral will definitely be held. Maybe we all have to eat vegetarian food."

Mian also came over and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother was shot to death by an assassin with a poisonous arrow while burning incense!"

Yanran smiled for a night: "There are many masters around the Queen Mother, how could someone be shot to death with a poisonous arrow? Someone must have sneaked into the temple and poisoned the Queen Mother's vegetarian meal!"

Xiaoxiao cleared his throat: "These are not things we should worry about. Now the fourth sister's affairs are going to be delayed for half a year, and the younger sisters are going to follow us."

This sentence touched Yanran's thoughts: "That's not the case. After all, it will be the fifth sister next year. I'm afraid I will have to wait until the end of next year. By then, it will be delayed until the next year."

Smiling smiled foolishly: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. As long as I can draw a good-looking calendar, I will be content!"

Xiaoxiao Yanran was amused by the smile. Yanran seemed to remember something again and said to her sister seriously: "Don't talk to others about the stupid words a few days ago!"

After hearing what his sister said, Sanger showed a sad expression that he had never seen before: "Why are they all family? Can I still act as if I had seen it?"

"Did you forget how their family harmed us? How did they harm you? He wanted to pull you into the cave!" Yanran said this fiercely.

After hearing this, Sanger seemed to have done something wrong, lowered his head and stopped saying a word.

When Xiaoxiao heard the cave's words, he vaguely knew who they were talking about: "Why, your uncle and wife are coming to Beijing?"

Yanran snorted coldly: "They have no money to live in Beijing, they must have seen it wrong."

But Smile decided: "I read that right, that person is definitely Brother Ming! He is delivering ice to others, with such a thin body, carrying a piece of ice on his back..."

Xiaoxiao also sighed, but this was the family business of the fifth house, and he couldn't even interrupt anything.

Yanran looked at her sister carefully: "Did you come forward and talk to him? Otherwise, how could you be so sure?" As she said that, she became stronger, "You fool, have you secretly given money to others?"

Smiling anxiously, "He refused to ask for money, so I gave him some book notes from Aunt Si's bookstore. Every year, Aunt Si gives me a lot of book notes, and I don't like to study and keep it. Brother Ming came to study in Kyoto Academy and often had to send ice to make money to supplement the tuition. He could use these book notes."

Yanran wanted to say something, but Xiaoxiao held down her hand: "I have given it."

Yanran still warned her sister with a cold face: "Don't do stupid things again in the future. In the past, their family would have put all their efforts into surgery on you. If you secretly give him money to him, they will make a fuss about it! Then you can't even explain it clearly!"

Smiling knew how powerful she was. He nodded when he heard this, and smiled at Yanran, "Sister said so scary. What does it look like if you have a mouth all over your body~"

When everyone smiled, they stopped mentioning this matter.

As the lake wind blows, music seems to be heard in the distance.

Yanran looked northeast of the garden: "It must have been heard from the building of the third lady. This person is really mysterious and seems to be a little crazy."

"She always dares to come out to see people. Is she suffering from leprosy?" Han Er was startled by what she said, and hurriedly stroked the goose bumps on her body, as if the music was also carrying a leprosy virus.

Xiaoxiao ate the watermelon in her hand completely: "She may be lonely."

...

All night, music from Shunhua Palace could be heard in the Tang family's garden, and everyone thought that this third aunt was probably going crazy.

Shunhua himself also thought he was going crazy.

There were a lot of fine wine and delicacies in Shunhua Palace. Shunhua drank a lot of wine alone and put on heavy makeup. The weather was hot, and shed a lot of sweat and tears. Her whole makeup looked terrible.

A maid brought a basin to help Shunhua cleanse her face. Shunhua suddenly raised her head and asked, "Have you ever seen the Imperial Concubine?"

The maid's expression was still as calm as usual: "I have never seen her before. I have been with my wife since I was a child."

Shunhua snorted coldly: "I don't know you yet. It's all considered a child born in the palace. Either your mother or aunts work in the palace. Even if you haven't seen the imperial concubine, you must have heard of it."

After hearing this, several maids knelt on the ground: "Madam calms down, and the servants only recognize Madam as the master, and only serve Madam."

But Shunhua seemed to have not seen a group of people kneeling on the ground, walking towards the terrace alone with a wine glass, looking at the stars in the sky from afar: "I have seen all the beauty albums sold in the market. Concubine Mu looks really like me."

None of the maids dared to say anything.

Shunhua said to himself: "It's a good thing. The emperor chose someone who looks so much like me to be by his side. After all, wasn't it because he missed Shunhua..."

The maids dared to breathe a sigh of relief: "The Lord has a wife in his heart."

Shunhua's tears flowed down: "But, if that woman is my shadow, why can that shadow be with him, be favored for a long time, and even give birth to a child for him! They have a son and two daughters, and they gave birth to a young son a few years ago. It is said that the little prince is the one he loves the most!"

Shunhua laughed with tears in his eyes: "Haha, he found a woman who looks particularly like me and gave birth to four children for him! They are harmonious and beautiful, but I am like a lonely ghost!"

The maids were already used to the intermittent madness of this lady, and everyone was ready. When she cried enough, made enough, laughed enough, and was crazy enough, she would sleep for a long time.

Sleeping like death.

This woman lives like this and doesn't know where to go when she dies, so she doesn't even dare to die.

One of the maids sneered deep in his heart: Now the Qin family's grave is buried in the Qin family's grave. The woman in front of him is really unknown where she is buried. The emperor cannot arrange a tomb for her out of thin air. Even if it is a grand burial, it can only be a lonely tomb for thousands of miles.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't even been executed, this woman would have died long ago.

The maid thought viciously, her eyes turned to the back of her left hand, which had two lines of scars on it, which was clearly bitten by this lady Shunhua when she was going crazy, mad dog!
