"Young Master rested in the bedroom last night. It seemed that someone came to see him in the palace, but he left without staying for a long time. Early this morning, the young master got up at the time of Mao and went to the imperial study room."
"He went alone?"
"First it was alone, but later, it seemed that someone came in outside the palace."
"Oh. Is the one who came to see him in the palace a young man or a middle-aged man?"
"It's a young man," the little palace maid recalled and said, "I heard that it seems to be the prince of the Bohai Sea."
"oh……"
It was Ao Zhi who entered Beijing.
I think that Ao Zhi came to Beijing last night and also came to the palace to meet Pei Yuanxiu. It was just because it was too late and it was impossible to keep him talking in the palace, so Ao Zhi should have gone back to the inn to live. As for seeing Pei Yuanxiu at the imperial study room early this morning, there must be something to talk about.
It's either the family's interests or the death of Ao Jiayu.
I think most of the latter are. After all, Ao Zhi also loves his sister very much.
In my opinion, whether it is the daughter of Bohai or Pei Yuanxiu's woman, Ao Jiayu's death cannot be just like this. He did not move any way before, of course, because everyone from the Ao family has left, but now if Ao Zhi asks him, he must give an explanation.
I just don’t know how Pei Yuanxiu would give Ao Zhi an explanation?
Not long after I got up, breakfast was prepared in the kitchen. Of course, there was a wide variety of side dishes, but at this time I had no appetite. Although my stomach didn't hurt, I always felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't concentrate on doing one thing. I only drank a few sips of porridge and put down the dishes. The two palace maids even tried to persuade me for a few words, and then I drank half a bowl of soup.
Then, I walked out.
It was already three o'clock at this time, and it was getting brighter, but as soon as I walked out, I found that the surroundings were still pitch black. I could only look up and look eastward, and I could vaguely see a little translucent feeling in the sky.
It seems that today is not a good day.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, a little eunuch ran out immediately and asked me carefully: "Where is Miss Yan going?"
I glanced at him and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"The young master gave the order. Miss Yan would be better off staying in Jingren Palace today and not going anywhere."
"Why, are you going to lock me up?"
"No, no, no, how dare I?" He knelt down in fear and said, "Young Master is telling me that tomorrow is the big day. Miss Yan... If there is nothing important, don't go out, so as not to have any accidents. He also cares about Miss Yan."
I glanced at him lightly, then at the closed door outside, and said, "So today, I can't take a step forward? No one can come in?"
"That's not true." The eunuch said diligently: "The clothes prepared by the Shangyi Prison for Miss Yan have been prepared today, and I'm afraid it will be delivered later."
"oh……"
I nodded and said nothing. I just looked up and looked at the closed door again, and said lightly: "Although I won't let me go out, you should open the door. It looks like a cemetery, which is unlucky."
When he heard this, he nodded quickly and turned around and asked the master to open the door.
I returned to the room.
I am not unfamiliar with these houses in Jingren Palace. I have been here countless times in the past, especially during the time I took care of Nianshen, I almost regarded this as home. But now I live in it myself, I feel very unfamiliar. I don’t even want to open the boxes and cabinets. I sat for a while and had nothing to do. Fortunately, they even brought me all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so I sat at the table and started writing Buddhist scriptures.
Written one after another.
It was clearly written smoothly, but after a while, a stack of written Buddhist scriptures had been piled up on my hand, but I couldn't help feeling nervous.
Because at this time, I slowly began to think about it.
Last night, I dreamed of Yao Yingxue.
I haven't remembered this person for many years, and I have even forgotten this person, but in a chaotic dream last night, I suddenly saw her.
I saw her lying in a pool of blood, with no pain on her face, only deep despair, looking at the person from beginning to end. In the past, she was begging him for mercy, and at that moment, she begged him to believe her and begged him to give her and the children in her belly a way out.
I have been in the palace for so many years, including later being enthroned, deposed, and imprisoned in the cold palace. So many things have happened and I have seen too many lives and deaths of many people. However, Yao Yingxue's death is the most tragic I have ever seen, even so tragic that I don't want to recall, so I would rather erase that night from my memory.
But now, I dreamed of her death again.
The situation in my dreams kept flashing in my mind. To be precise, I dreamed about how she begged hard that night that year, and even at the last moment of her life, she was eager for the man's sincerity.
And slowly, I also understood why I remembered her again after so many years.
Because now, there is a woman in this harem that reminds me of her.
Speaking of which, they are not friendly to me and have a deep hostility. I have never had a good impression of them, so I often used methods to fight each other, and wanted to fight to the death.
But now, I also understand that Han Ruoshi's situation is not very good.
Not to mention what she screamed last night and what torture she had been suffering in her heart. When I think of the people from the Ao family coming to Beijing, Ao Zhi was asking Pei Yuanxiu for the explanation of Ao Jiayu's death, I was always uneasy.
That night, I don’t know how Ao Jiayu died until now.
I only know that that night, the people sent from Yangzhou would rush into the Jinling Mansion to cause chaos, which was Pei Yuanxiu deliberately; but it was not just because of the Yangzhou people that caused such large casualties. The fire lit in the inner courtyard was the real reason why no one in the mansion could escape.

Thinking of this, the pen in my hand sank. When I looked down, an ugly ink stain had been printed on the paper, which stained all the places I had written before. I frowned. At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside. I raised my head and said, "Come in."
It was the little palace maid who served me. She came in and said, "Miss Yan, the people from Shangyijian are here."
"Yeah."
I nodded and put the brush aside, then stood up with the armrest of the chair. As soon as I stood up, I felt my body sinking and almost tilted to the side. The palace maid hurried over to support me: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"
“…I, I’m fine.”
I pushed her hand away, took a deep breath, and walked out.
When I walked to the outside room, I saw that there were several palace maids standing at the door, holding trays in their hands, covering them with brocade. But looking at the piles of high on the trays, they didn't look like clothes sent, but like several hills sent, I couldn't help but frown at first glance.
One of the leaders came forward: "Ms. Yan, this is the dress to be used tomorrow. Please try it out."
I didn't go over immediately, but stood there and asked, "Where is the young master?"
They were all stunned for a moment and looked up at me.
I said, "Not only I have to try out the fittings, he also wants to try it?"
The man said, "Young Master has tried it."
"Oh, then where is he now?"
"I just saw it, the young master seemed to have gone... to the Yuhua Palace."
Go to Yuhua Palace...
Did he really go to find Han Ruoshi?
I just felt a little heavier in my heart, and I didn't know why I was worried, but those people had already come to serve me, so I let them help me into the inner room. After taking off my coat, the covered brocade on the tray was uncovered, and golden clothes appeared in front of me.
It piled up like a hill.
Although the queen is the lord of the Six Palaces, her clothes are not necessarily very complicated and luxurious. Chang Qing's clothes look simple and generous, but the dresses she wore when she was enthroned were different. There were several layers inside and outside, all of which were embroidered with gold and silver threads. Even without sunlight, you could feel that every inch of the fabric was shining brightly. There were also exquisite embroidered shoes and heavy headdresses, and each brow was frowning.
Wearing my clothes one by one, I spread my hands and stood in the center of the room like a puppet.
The only difference is that no matter who puts clothes on the puppet, the puppet will not feel it, but I have it.
I think it's very heavy!
At first glance, I felt that these clothes were like hills. It was indeed not an illusion. Now these hills are pressing on my shoulders, arms, and waist and back, almost making me breathless. But just as I put on a few clothes, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Hua Zhuyunshan didn't have to come in to serve at this time, but they were still standing at the door. After all, the dress that the queen wore when she was enthroned for the first time was very fresh to them.
But as she looked, Hua Zhu saw that something was wrong with me.
She subconsciously took a step in and whispered: "Miss Yan, are you okay?"
I looked up at her.
She said: "You've been sweating a lot."
“…”
I didn't speak, and at this time I didn't have the strength to speak. I just barely raised my hand and wiped it. There were indeed a lot of sweat on my forehead.
The palace maids also saw that my face became pale and said, "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"Is the clothes too thick and too hot?"
"Get out of the way and let her breathe!"
Gradually, I became a little confused, and I felt that their voices were getting farther and farther away, and the mountain pressing on me was almost overturned.
