From time to time, the sounds of maids and children playing around could be heard outside, and smiles like silver bells sprinkled in the courtyard, as if all the darkness from last night had been blown away.
Xie Ruzhuo sat in front of the window, but felt that the sunlight outside was a bit cold. Last night, Wen Ruyu told her the news when she came that former doctor Lin Bufan of Tai Hospital had been found.
Although the sunlight is good, it cannot shine into the corners that refuse light. Some evils can only be overcome with evil!
She was just thinking wildly when she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then Xie Huainan's voice said, "Zhuo'er, are you worried about calling me here in such a hurry?"
Xie Huainan was promoted to a higher rank these days, and was transferred to the fourth-grade imperial guard. He stayed in the school grounds all day long, and his skin had lost its previous whiteness and became somewhat darker. But his eyes were as clear as water, as if he could peek into his heart just by relying on these eyes.
Seeing Xie Huainan, Xie Ruzhuo bowed first and then said, "Brother, I want to ask you for something."
Xie Huainan smiled slightly and said, "If you have any questions, just tell me and I will definitely help you."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour. Her eldest brother was always like this, and he could just accept it without even asking what the matter itself was like.
But she had to do this, so she pondered for a while and said, "Brother, you will be on duty in the palace tomorrow night, right?"
Xie Huainan nodded and said, "Not bad, what's wrong?"
"I hope that when my brother passes by Huayang Palace, he can turn a deaf ear to what's going on inside."
After hearing this, Xie Huainan immediately frowned and said, "Zhuo'er, what do you want to do?" She is a daughter who has not yet left the palace, but now she reaches out to the palace. What is her plan
Xie Ruzhuo had already said something, and then he whispered, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. I once ran into someone having an affair in the palace. Princess Qia also found out about it. She said that she would lead someone to catch the adulterer tomorrow night, but this matter It involves royal secrets, and if my brother gets involved, he will definitely lose his head, so for the sake of his own life, he must not go in!"
"Then how could the Seventh Princess tell you in advance?" Xie Huainan was suspicious, and looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a certain amount of scrutiny. He is not worried that Xie Ruzhuo will harm him, but this is his little sister, and he must ensure Xie Ruzhuo's safety.
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said, "Brother, I can't tell you yet. I just ask my brother to agree to this."
Seeing the pitiful look on her face, Xie Huainan softened his heart, sighed, and said, "Well, since it's what you said, I'll just go around Huayang Palace tomorrow." After saying that, he rubbed it again. He rubbed her hair and whispered, "It's just that you have to be careful about yourself. The less you know about the secrets of the palace, the better. You should not get too close to the seventh princess. She is a member of the royal family after all, you know."
At the end of the sentence, Xie Huainan couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity. These days, he seems to be increasingly unable to understand this sister.
It wasn't until Xie Huainan left that Xie Ruzhuo patted his chest. She discussed a chain plan with Wen Ruyu last night, and no one knew how many people would be involved in this plan until the last moment. But she must do it, because only in this way can she uproot the virtuous concubine and at the same time make both sides fight!
Huayang Palace.
At night, a crescent moon hangs high on the sky, making the silvery white on the ground shine brighter and clearer.
There were two people under the moon. There was a woman with an eye-catching waist and a pair of white and tender arms like lotus joints hanging on the man's shoulders. Her eye-catching silky curved lips smiled and said, "I have been granted the title of prince today. Now I will Aren't you afraid that something might happen if you come to Huayang Palace like this without any care?"
Xiao Junyi was obviously very pleased with her appearance. He immediately threw her on the bed and said, "Don't be afraid. I've always been brave enough to take responsibility."
There has always been only one mistress of Huayang Palace, and that is Concubine Jing.
Hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately bent her crescent-like eyes, raised her hand to unbutton Xiao Junyi, and said softly, "Then I want to see what you are going to do tonight, Your Majesty, and what are you going to do?" How could you be fooled!"
Not long after, I saw candlelight flickering in the house, and the light and shadow were misty. The sounds of men and women laughing could be heard, making the atmosphere in the room even more lustful.
One night owl barked twice, then rose into the sky and flew into the dark night.
A palace lady listened quietly for a while. When she heard the lewd words inside, she blushed first, and then showed a sinister smile.
Not long after, the palace man opened the small corner door of Huayang Palace and sneaked out secretly while no one was paying attention.
Xiao Junyi and Concubine Jing were just in the mood, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden bustle of people outside. He was shocked and turned pale. He didn't care about Wen Wenxiang, so he just put on his clothes hastily, and he was not fully dressed yet. , I heard the eunuch shouting in a sharp voice outside the door, "The Concubine Xian has arrived—"
Concubine Jing's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly ran to the bookcase, twisted the vase aside, and when a hidden compartment was revealed, she signaled Xiao Junyi to come in quickly.
"Sister Concubine Jing, are you asleep?"
Concubine Xian's voice was already close at hand, but Xiao Junyi's clothes were still on the bed. Concubine Jing couldn't hide the atmosphere on her face, but she had to clean up the mess. At that moment, she hurriedly ran to the bed, looked around, and randomly The clothes were thrown on the floor and stuffed under the bed.
As soon as she finished all this, before she could catch her breath, she saw Concubine Xian walking in.
Although there was a lustful atmosphere in the room, Concubine Jing always liked to light incense, so Concubine Xian couldn't bear it and sneezed first.
Seeing this, Concubine Jing stepped forward and saluted with a forced smile, and asked casually, "Why are Sister Xian Concubine here at this time?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xian raised her eyes and smiled coolly, and said, "I couldn't sleep at night. I thought of you, my sister. I came here to talk to you."
As she said that, Concubine Xian couldn't help but look around her room. The house was a little messy everywhere, but it didn't look like it could hide people. As she thought about it, she began to doubt the maid's information again. Could it be that the girl had deceived her
Concubine Jing yawned slightly and said, "But my sister is sleepy. How about we talk tomorrow?" She was in high spirits, but she only had half of the food at the moment. She was feeling uncomfortable all over, and she was grinding her teeth with hatred for Concubine Xian. , but didn’t dare to show any of it on his face.
Concubine Xian usually looked down on her frivolous appearance, but now in order to find clues, she had to stay here and said, "Is it possible that my sister wants to despise my kindness?"
As soon as she said this, she suddenly saw a blush on Concubine Jing's chest. She immediately stepped forward and exclaimed, "Hey, sister, have you been bitten by an insect?"
That red mark was obviously from a relationship between a man and a woman!
Just when Concubine Xian thought she had grasped the handle, Concubine Jing smiled shyly and said, "Sister, I've been through this too. Don't you even know this? Oh, it's your Majesty. He always says that my skin is delicate and I can't bear it." Just take a few more bites." At this point, Concubine Jing smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, look at me, I even said this, I'm really a little embarrassed, sister, don't be surprised."
The joy on Concubine Xian's face had not yet fully shown, but Concubine Jing almost choked on her words and almost slapped her in the face. This woman is really not ashamed to speak, she is really a foxy girl!
"It doesn't matter. Not only the emperor, but also this palace likes such a beauty like my sister." Concubine Xian gritted her silver teeth, but she could only swallow it by herself.
Seeing that Concubine Xian's face was turning blue, Concubine Jing smiled slightly and said, "Sister, since you want to chat, why don't I ask the palace servants to get some food, and let's chat while eating. Sister, I don't know, The emperor likes to eat the almond cake from my palace the most. Can I ask the palace servants to make a plate of it now?"
As soon as she heard this, Concubine Xian felt her chest became more and more stuffy. She failed to catch the traitor, but instead let this foxy girl show off her power in front of her, which really made her angry!
"No, seeing how sleepy my sister is, I think it's better to come back another day. I'm leaving."
As Concubine Xian spoke, she waved her sleeves and walked outside.
Concubine Jing faked a smile and said, "Sister, won't you stay a little longer?"
It wasn't until Concubine Xian disappeared that Concubine Jing put away the smile on her face and turned into a look about to be stormed. After confirming that Concubine Xian was gone, she walked to the secret passage and opened the door carefully, only to see that Xiao Junyi had disappeared, leaving only a note, "Take care of the eyes behind you! "
Concubine Jing shivered all over, then frowned and said loudly, "Everyone, please come in!"
Dozens of people rushed into the room. Concubine Jing looked at it for a while, and then asked coldly, "Where is Xiangsui?"
The palace servant named Xiangsui hurriedly walked in from the outside and said, "Go back to your Majesty, I'm here. I went to the toilet just now and didn't hear your summons. Please forgive me!"
Concubine Jing showed a sneer, strode over, hit her with a "slap", and snorted, "Do you think I really don't know your identity? Come on, please give me this bitch." Drag him down and kill him with a stick!"
She had known for a long time that Xiang Sui was from Concubine Xian's palace, and she originally thought that she would just leave someone here to monitor her. But who would have thought that tonight, without warning, she would ask Xiang Sui to go and complain! Fortunately, there was a secret passage in her house so she could escape. Otherwise, would she have a way to survive tonight? !
A woman's scream suddenly came from outside, mixed with a cry for mercy, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake, please forgive me—"
Concubine Jing was upset when she heard this, and immediately shouted outside, "I'll shut her mouth, so I don't have to be upset anymore!"
The pitch-black night outside looked like a wild beast with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow up a life at some point.
When Xie Huainan visited Huayang Palace, he heard the cry inside, and it disappeared after a while, but faint whimpering could still be heard.
He was about to go in and ask what was going on, but the moment he raised his feet, he remembered Xie Ruzhuo's words, so he took it back and said instead, "Let's go over there and have a look."
The guard behind him said yes, and the group walked in the opposite direction.
The night seemed to have passed extremely long, and by the time it was daylight, all the bloodshed had subsided.
The filthiness of the night has disappeared, and the sanctimony of the day has been disguised, just waiting to greet a new day with a new face.
The death of a little palace maid in Huayang Palace didn't even cause any trouble, it just passed away quietly.
But the calm on the surface is all an illusion for the world to see, but the turmoil behind the scenes has never stopped.
