Qingchuan History

Chapter 921

Gu Xinglang reacted for a moment, and he knew it was for Jingting Song, not to poke. "He should have been pardoned. His feet were banned to reduce follow-up incidents and save the whole scene."

"He followed Chunfeng, so there shouldn't be trouble," Ruan Xueyin said.

"Should." Gu Xinglang nodded, then turned his head to look at her, "Did Chunfeng tell you anything?"

Ruan Xueyin was stunned by the steam, "What?"

"Shen Ji said that Ji Qi's treatment of Chunfeng seems to be more than what we have seen and known, if possible,"

He didn't continue.

Because now it seems impossible.

Ruan Xueyin never thought about it, "I didn't hear her mention, maybe—"

"Diyan just told me that they came back from the northern region together a few days ago. Ji Qi lived in the palace that night. Chunfeng visited him the next morning and stayed in the house for a while. Then Chunfeng went out of the palace alone. Lock Ji Qi in the partial pavilion."

Ruan Xueyin only felt that her head was getting dizzy because of the constant cutting and messing up.

"That's all." Gu Xinglang sighed softly, "It's a matter of urgency, and this matter is nothing at this moment."

Ruan Xueyin took it very seriously, remembering that Chai Yinuo was still waiting outside, she urged him to hurry up; she helped out, and then briefly explained what Xiao Mo had told her and her instructions.

The night and the moon fell at the same time, Gu Xinglang got up first and went out, while Tangli came in to help Ruan Xueyin get dressed.

It used to be Yunxi, but this is Tangli headed back into the bathing pool of Wanlan Palace.Ruan Xueyin stood in front of the mirror, and she tidied it up. She suddenly remembered that in the winter of the sixth year of Jinghong, she was also standing in front of this mirror on the second day after listening to the snow lights. Yunxi reassured her that once she wore the clothes, she couldn't see them, and it was cold, so the neck would also be able to block them.

On that day, Chunfeng was still a bright and spoiled little girl hanging a lamp on the cauliflower layer of the imperial garden.

Looking back at the anxious years at that time, it turned out to be the best time.Continue to move forward, complete all the way, but also broken all the way.

Tangli was fiddling with her front skirt, and she caught a glimpse of her master's expression out of the corner of her eye, and comforted her, "The princess, princess, and sister Yunxi are under the protection of your majesty and your highness. Auspicious people have their own destiny. Your highness, rest assured."

Ruan Xueyin lowered her eyes to look at her, this little girl from the past is also a married woman, as calm and sophisticated as Yunxi. "But pregnant?"

I noticed it when I saw it at noon, but I didn't have time to ask.

Tangli's hands froze, and she hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness, forgive me!"

Ruan Xueyin didn't understand, "This is a happy event, what's the crime?"

"The family and the country are restless, there are troubles in the palace, the little princess has not yet returned home, the slaves—"

"You and Diyan have been married for more than a year." She squatted down to help her, "No matter how uneasy the world is, life is still going on. I haven't heard good news for a long time, thank you all."

Tangli raised her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, "Your Highness is wronged."

Is it too long time no see?Ruan Xueyin couldn't catch the girl's words, she didn't understand at all.

"Sister Yunxi said that although His Highness is favored by thousands of kings, he still suffers a lot of grievances due to the current situation, but His Highness swallows it by himself and never complains. His Highness must be very sad and anxious if the little princess did not come back this time." Very much, but I still have to support the king and the country, and I have to congratulate the servants, the servants are really—”

Gu Xinglang didn't feel wronged.Ruan Xueyin replied heartily.A really good monarch must suffer many grievances, which she didn't know before going down the mountain.

There was no way to tell Tangli.

"It's a different thing." Only softly said, "Sad for bad things, but also happy for good things. The two are not related to each other. Only decades of life can go on."

Tangli saw the corner of her mouth showing a smile, although she knew she was reluctant, she still smiled, "Your Highness is right. Your Highness is really powerful. The slave girl's stomach is not visible. I am afraid that even the imperial doctor can't find it without taking a pulse, but His Highness can take a look." Distinguish between reality and reality. Is there any disease in this world that His Highness cannot cure?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener sighs.

Of course there is.And more than one.

The master and the servant packed up and came out, it was already half past Xu.Ruan Xueyin waited for Gu Xinglang to wait until midnight, but no one was seen yet, thinking that the lamps would have to be lit if he waited any longer. Such a situation was really not suitable for laborious work, so he prepared to leave and return to Chengze Hall.

But he came back at this time and let her stay here.Ruan Xueyin was about to speak, but Gu Xinglang said to Di Yan:
"No need to light the lamp."

The palace people in the first hall were stunned, they couldn't even respond immediately, and they had the illusion of being told "there is no need to watch the new year this year" - the rules that have been passed down for nearly a hundred years and have been in their hearts and minds are not like the grandest New Year's Eve. How can you say that you don't need it when you don't need it?

"Your Majesty, this is listening to snow lanterns, Taizu—" he stammered.

"One dynasty, one dynasty rules, time changes, and the Taizu's rules will also be inappropriate for a day." Gu Xinglang said lightly, rubbing the cuff between the other wrist with one hand, "The concubine does not stay in the Turning the Waves Palace, Ruo Su You must listen to the snow lanterns, this rule will become invalid from today. Oh, "

he thought,
"One more thing, a king can only keep one concubine in the Wanlan Palace. Once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed."

Although Diyan was hesitant, he still had something to persuade him, but he didn't dare, so he respectfully agreed and led everyone out.

Gu Xinglang asked Ruan Xueyin to go to bed first, saying that he had to go to the Nuan Pavilion to deal with some matters.Ruan Xueyin knew that she couldn't sleep right away, so she accompanied him to the Nuan Pavilion.

The corridor leading to the Xinuang Pavilion is still lined with rows of delicate potted plants, still dimly lit by candles, like a dream, similar to and yet different from the winter of Jinghong's sixth year.

At that time, she was walking alone, and he was waiting for her inside.

Now there are two people in front of each other, and she is stepping on the road he walked.

Gu Xinglang thought of something, stopped halfway, turned around, and held out his hand to her.

"Narrow." Although she stretched out her hand to shake it back, she didn't move forward.

"You don't take up space with such a small stature." Gu Xinglang smiled.

Burning candles on a summer night, warm currents seem to be passing through the air, and because there is ice everywhere, there is a coolness from time to time, alternating hot and cold, and the teaching heart is also surging.

She laughed too, and took a step to be side by side with him. The two of them walked slowly in the not-so-long corridor, and they couldn't reach the end.

"Why new regulations?"

"Thoroughly confirm the rules, the original intention and the result are not good, I don't want to follow."

"This was heard by Taizu, and he wanted to come to you in your dream to question him."

"Then I'll tell Taizu what I think is wrong or shouldn't, give him enough reasons, and express my attitude. When the world is handed down to me, I have the responsibility and the right to change certain things and make it better."

"Just now, you just said that a king can only be accompanied by one girl."

"You heard it." Gu Xinglang smiled, "I wanted to say that, it's a bit abrupt, so I have to take my time."

He stopped and turned to face her, "Ruan Zhong once said that if he marries you, even if he becomes a king, he will never want another woman, and he will be devoted to her for the rest of his life. I will return to him at that time, and I will do the same."

Ruan Xueyin looked into his eyes.

"Have you done it?" He asked earnestly.

Ruan Xueyin nodded.

He led her into the warm pavilion, the long couch came into view first, and both of them remembered that winter night at the same time.

They all tacitly don't mention it, and cherish it in the bottom of my heart.

"You are busy." Ruan Xueyin said, as agreed earlier, no longer asking about the current situation, "I will read on the couch, and sleep when I am sleepy."

For the next few days, Ruan Xueyin went in and out of various divisions of the inner palace, asking about matters big and small over the past few months, and preparing for the upcoming Tianchang Festival.Time is tight, in fact, nothing can be prepared, but what should be done must be done, even if it is stick to the rules.

She became more and more used to the status of the Mistress of the Qi Palace, and she was more careful and careful than Ji Wanling in the past.When she thinks of her occasionally, she wonders whether she and Gu Xinglei have lived the lives of the gods and couples, and can't help but guess how the current situation is going, in order to assess whether their little life can be preserved.

She also went to see Gu Chunyue.During the daytime, when King Ning was there, she would play chess with him. Chunyue would always sit by the side, and when she wasn't with Chen'er, she would stare at the gate of Chonghua Hall in a daze.

When the wind blows in the evening, the colorful eaves bells make a pleasant sound in the corridor, Chen'er will talk about her father, and Chunyue looks back at the string of eaves bells in a daze.

"If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible." Ruan Xueyin whispered to her.

"It's been a few days. If there is any news, it would have been there long ago." Gu Chunyue's body was fluttering, and his breath was like a silk, "Have you asked him?"

It was Gu Xinglang.

"I promised him not to ask. But if there is any progress or change in this matter, he will ask me."

"No question, it means there are no variables."

It means that Ji Ping is dead.

"Maybe he just didn't say anything on purpose in order to completely isolate me from the situation." Ruan Xueyin pondered.

"Why?" Gu Chunyue didn't know or think about this level.

Ruan Xueyin didn't intend to say too much, "There will always be some news and explanations, just wait."

It was almost night, Ruan Xueyin and Gu Xingyan left Chonghua Palace. "I'll give Brother Seven a gift." Anyway, I'm free.

"Don't dare to bother Your Highness."

"In private, just treat Xueyin as my sister-in-law."

Gu Xingyan was silent for a while. "Your Highness's wisdom is beyond the reach of thousands of people."

He was actively mentioning the unmentionable thing.

"The geese leave traces, and there are many things that the world can't understand, just because they didn't pay attention to those traces. If the situation didn't force me, I wouldn't have noticed."

"Your Highness didn't tell Your Majesty, did you?"

"Naturally. You know me."

"Thank you."

"Will Seventh Brother get married?"

"will not."

Ruan Xueyin didn't expect him to answer so quickly. "You know it's a shadow in the water and you will never find it, but you still want to spend your life?"

Xia Yue has risen, hanging in the palace, Gu Xingyan looked at it for a moment, "Not only is it a shadow in the water, but it is also in the sky every night. As I get older, I am more calm about one thing: it is not necessary to have it if you like it, it is also good to keep it in your heart." A kind of long-term, you can still see it, and you should be more content."

"Seventh brother suffers from himself."

"I'm not bitter. These days are especially not bitter. I have never been with her for such a long time since I was a child. It is my luck to be with her during the most difficult time."

Gu Xingyan didn't mention his name at all, but Gu Xingyan still consciously slipped his words, so he stopped there.

Ruan Xueyin had no intention of prying into this secret, but said: "She is really amazing, the more we get along, the more I feel."

"My concubine passed away early. She was the person who treated me the best and cared the most in this big family and in the whole world. She has a noble status and a beautiful face, but she is never arrogant because of it. Instead, she has a broad and tolerant heart. To take care of everyone as much as possible. In fact, I know that I am just one of the people she takes care of as much as possible, but it is difficult for people to be completely controlled by reason. For me, she is not among them, but the only one. I use It has been confirmed for many years, because it has been revised for many years—it cannot be corrected, and only when it is confirmed is known, so there is no need to struggle.”

Ruan Xueyin got a glimpse of the secret location in this sudden and violent passage.

Gu Xingyan felt that he had slipped his words again, and immediately felt relieved. He turned to Ruan Xueyin and bowed solemnly, "Your Highness is equally amazing, it should be said, even more amazing. Seventh Brother wishes His Highness and Your Highness to seek benevolence and be kind, and Prime Minister Bai will be together. As for the matter of marriage, Your Highness Sooner or later, I will remind you, Your Highness, please help persuade me at that time."

During the conversation, Zheng'anmen was approaching.The moonlight is alone and cold, the palace is buried in the deep summer night, Ruan Xueyin has been hiding in the inner palace for the past few days, it is rare to come here, she feels strange.

After the upheaval, the entire Qi Palace only opened the Zheng'an Gate, and it had to be closed after Xu Shi. They are stepping on the tail of Shi Shi today.

"Please come back, Your Highness."

"I've sent everything away, let's go for a while."

Ruan Xueyin insisted on walking one mile inside the Zheng'an Gate, and watched Gu Xingyan leave. From a distance, she could see that the guards outside the palace gate were extremely strict, even worse than those inside the gate.

They are all from the Divine Machine Camp.She recognized the logo at a glance, and in the night, the peacock blue of the cuffs was particularly eye-catching.Because of this glance, she scanned the faces of the soldiers again, and found that one or two unfamiliar faces had frowns.

She was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't ask after all. When she was about to turn around and go back, she caught a glimpse of the two soldiers looking at her from the corner of her eye.

She looked back, the two hurriedly lowered their heads, naturally they were limited by etiquette.

"Is something wrong?"

The two heard the queen open their mouths, looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads even more, and continued to remain silent.

Ruan Xueyin turned around completely and moved away.

"Your Highness, help!"

That's when I heard the sound.

She frowned and half turned around.

"Your Majesty thoroughly investigates the whole country against the people. Anyone who finds evidence of crimes will be sentenced to death for the crime of treason! The humble family is in Luozhong County. I heard that in the entire Luozhong County, more than ten families have been convicted and executed! A dutiful farmer will never seek rebellion, but the situation is like this, the lowly job is just—”

"Why didn't you say this directly to the king, but to this palace instead?" After wading in the muddy water for a long time, Ruan Xueyin became more cautious and suspicious.

Another soldier knelt down, "The lowly officials are risking their lives to speak to His Highness at this moment! It is also the order of the emperor not to discuss these things, especially not to let the news spread to the inner palace! The lowly officials are dead now But I have to say it! The lowly officials asked the superior, and the superior also advised the king, "The soldier gritted his teeth, but finally did not continue, only bowed vigorously, his forehead hit the ground with a sound,
"His Royal Highness, help me!"

No one could persuade Gu Xinglang to ask her to come forward.

"Your home is also in Luozhong County?" She asked again without expressing her opinion in a hurry.

"Return to Your Highness. The humble family is in Qixia County, not far from Luozhong County. Although I haven't heard of it yet, it's true—"

Worry.I am worried that the city gate will catch fire and the fish in the pond will be affected.

"Understood." Ruan Xueyin remained silent, "Leave your names, and I will do my best to protect your heads."

The two people on the ground were a little startled, and immediately announced their names loudly.

"Do your job well. Your Majesty, this time, is right about things and wrong about people; my king has been in power for ten years, and he has never wronged or wrongly killed, only categorical forgiveness."

The two repeatedly said they were kowtows.

"If you are dedicated to your duties, you will set an example of loyalty to your family and hometown, and you will live up to your majesty's trust and love for you."

She dropped this sentence, turned around, and went straight to the magnificent Mingluan Palace in the dark night.

　Last week was too busy, and I was tired of being troubled. Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and we compare our hearts every day.
