For an afternoon, I didn't do anything else, just read a book by the window with Miaoyan. The weather was fine today, the dazzling sunshine shone outside, and the snow had melted a lot. The melted snow water on the eaves dripped down the tiles and fell on the bluestone steps, making a dripping sound.

From time to time, I would raise my head and look at the road outside through the crystal water droplet curtains.

Even if she doesn't come, I will feel at ease even if I come from a distance.

But as time passed by little by little, the snow on the eaves melted into water, and the last drop also dripped. No one came on the road outside the door, and there was even a single person who could send a message. The sunset was setting, and the orange light shone in this Jingren Palace, with the red walls and green tiles revealing an indescribable sense of solemnity.

Soon, it became dark.

It was Xiao Fuzi who brought the people from the imperial kitchen to deliver meals to us. As soon as he came in, I looked at him intently. He directed the people to put everything in. I looked down and saw that there was still a bowl of steaming sweet soup in the dish.

When he took the people out and just walked to the door, I still followed.

"Eunuch Fu."

Xiao Fuzi immediately stopped and stood at the door and looked back at me.

I walked up to him and hesitated: "That scripture..."

"It's already given to the Queen."

"Is that so? What did she say?"

"She—" Xiao Fuzi hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything."

"ah?"

He looked at me again, looked at my confused expression, and then said softly: "When I gave it to the Queen, she said 'I know' and asked me to serve the lady well. There would be nothing else."

“…”

My brows frowned suddenly.

Could it be that Chang Qing didn’t understand what I mean?

No, it is impossible. Even if I have never seen her plotting people's hearts in this harem and assassinate anyone, I know very well that it is not something that a dull woman can do after so many years. With her intelligence, I must know the purpose of asking Xiao Fuzi to send that scripture to the past, and I will definitely see through the thoughts I want to convey.

But she said nothing.

Could it be that she just doesn't want to say it?

Or is it basically, nothing to say?

I just felt a heavy heart in my heart and asked again, "Then, what did she do?"

Xiao Fuzi thought for a while and said, "It's nothing. After taking it, the Empress looked through it a few times. Later, when I went to pay my respects, I saw her still tilted there, and the lady's scripture was left by hand. The Empress has been very tired these days, and today she looks even more tired."

As he said, a gloomy expression appeared in his words. I couldn't say anything, but I felt my chest was so stuffy.

Both of them were silent for a while, and I asked again: "By the way, Eunuch Fu, there are two days left to be the emperor's personal farming ceremony. Are everything ready?"

He nodded: "Of course."

"Then, what about the Queen's silkworm gift?"

He said: "This time, the emperor personally inquired about the silkworm-professional ceremony. I don't know how to arrange it."

“…”

Feeling me suddenly holding my breath, Xiao Fuzi raised his head and looked at me: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"..." I looked at him. Although my chest was stuffy and seemed to have a lot to say, I also knew that I couldn't say it at this time. It was already a very dangerous move for me to pass on that scripture to Chang Qing. If I had to say something or do, I was afraid that this situation would not be controlled by me.

I gritted my teeth and said slowly, "It's nothing, you go and do it. If the Queen has something to say to me, I'd like to ask you to run more."

Xiao Fuzi looked at me in surprise, as if he also felt that I was paying too much attention to Chang Qing, but he didn't say anything, just nodded: "I understand. Miss, please use it slowly."

After saying that, he left.

I retreated back to the room. Susu and Madam Wu served Miaoyan to eat, which was very lively, but when I looked at the smiles on their faces, I still felt that the chill in my heart could not be dissipated.

Chang Qing, do you really have to go all the way to the dark?

|

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Pei Yuanhao performed the personal farming ceremony.

When I woke up early in the morning, I felt that the weather was good. Although the sun had not yet risen, I could see the blue blue lineage of Changtian, without any clouds. The air was filled with the clear breath that emanated after the snow melted, which made people's spirits refreshed.

Xiao Fuzi was still standing at the door, and slowly, his shadow became clear on the ground.

He looked at me in a daze: "Miss, are you really not going?"

I shook my head: "Don't go."

"But, the emperor hopes you go."

"Your Majesty is hopeful, and I have not forced it, so I can refuse it."

"This is the truth, but—"

He was so anxious that he scratched his head, like a monkey who couldn't help but feel uneasy, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Today this is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne. Doesn't the lady really want to go and see it?"

I shook my head: "I don't want to."

"This...this..."

He became more and more difficult. As time passed by, I guess that the guard of honor who wanted to follow Pei Yuanhao to the personal farming ceremony was about to set off, but as the deputy eunuch in charge of the eunuch, he was still delaying at my door.

At this time, I saw Miaoyan sitting at the table, copying "Zengguang Xianwen" in the corner of my eyes. She also looked at Xiao Fuzi with an anxious look, as if she was hoping that he would convince me. When she saw me, she immediately withdrew her gaze and pretended to be attentive. Xiao Fuzi hurriedly said, "Today this is a big event. Don't the lady want His Highness the Princess to show up?"

I smiled faintly: "She has many opportunities to show up, and she doesn't have to show her face today. Besides, although His Majesty has not convicted me yet, the matter has not been found out yet. She has passed by as a suspect and is disliked for nothing. Why bother?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today's personal farming ceremony, Taishi Chang and Nangong Jinhong are bound to attend. If I really appear, I don't know if they will mention my matter again. If it really mentions it, it will not be able to cover it up even if I want to cover it up.

So, it's better not to go.

From a distance, I heard the sound of bells and drums. The team was about to set off. Xiao Fuzi could only look at me at the end: "Miss..."

"Eunuch Fu, I won't make things difficult for you, and don't make things difficult for me. Go quickly. If you can't invite me, your Majesty will be unhappy at most, but if you are late on such an occasion, you will be blamed."

When he heard this, he finally stopped being beaten, bowed to me, turned around and left.

I turned around and saw Miaoyan raise his head from the book, looking at Xiao Fuzi's distant back with a look of loss. When I saw me looking back at her, I immediately lowered my head.

I slowly walked over and sat next to her: "How much have you written? I asked you to finish writing today, don't delay it."

"yes."

She felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey me, so she continued to write hard. However, after writing for a while, the mood of wanting to play finally prevailed. She raised her head and looked at me and said pitifully: "Mom, I really don't want to write anymore. My hands hurt so much, it's so cold. Let me play for a while, right?"

"no."

"Mom, just a moment."

"no!"

Although I was not stern, she didn't dare to say anything with a stern face. A slightly gentle but unhappy voice came from outside the window: "Ms. Yan, it is appropriate for parents to strictly discipline their children, but they cannot be so inhumane."

This sound-

As soon as I looked up, I saw a slim figure standing in the yard.

Nangong Lizhu?!

When I saw her appearing in the yard, I was stunned. Before I could react, the two guards guarding the door hurried down and saluted respectfully: "Empress of the Imperial Concubine."

Her face was still a little pale, and Ruizhu beside her was holding her arm firmly. After saying that, she started to pant.

Why did she come?

I just asked more questions when Xiao Fuzi came to treat me today, and I realized that although her illness was cured, she had suffered a lot before, so she had been very weak. This time, she didn't need to go over to the tribute of her intimate farming. However, I didn't expect that she was idle and came to me.

After the two guards asked about his wish, one of them immediately said: "The Imperial Concubine, the emperor has already told him not to let anyone in."

Nangong Lizhu smiled a little on her pale face and said, "I don't go in. I just want to come over to see the little princess, but I didn't expect--"

She said, looking up at Miaoyan.

The eyes were as gentle as today's weather and as gentle as the wind blowing.

Miaoyan, who was sitting at the table, was a little puzzled. Look at me and then look at her. Nangong Lizhu had already stepped forward and said softly: "Little Princess, I'm here to see you. Do you still remember me?"

Miaoyan shook her head blankly.

A look of loss flashed in Nangong Lizhu's eyes, but she immediately smiled reluctantly: "When you first entered the palace, you often lived in my place, and you even called my mother."

My face suddenly sank.

The time she came to me before and asked Miaoyan to talk, I hated her deeply, but I didn't expect that today, she herself was sick. Miaoyan's condition had obviously improved a lot, but she actually came again-

Just when I was almost furious, Miaoyan said crisply: "But I only have one mother."

After saying that, she looked up and looked at me.

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly came from somewhere, or someone invisibly punched Nangong Lizhu. She seemed to be unable to stand firm and staggered two steps in a row. Fortunately, Ruizhu on the side barely supported her, but her face had become pale as paper.

When Miaoyan saw her like that, she seemed to be shocked: "What's wrong with you?"
