away from the heart

Chapter 101 The new official took office 2
In the Canary Palace, Taoyao saw Chuyue rushing in in a hurry, and hurriedly came forward to greet her, and said happily: "Princess, I have heard what Madam Sixi said, as long as you are fine!" She brought a plate just now The packed apricots, "This is just picked by the maidservant. You like to eat apricots the most. Try it quickly. Is it as sweet as the previous years?"

"If people's hearts are bitter, no matter how sweet the apricot is, it tastes bitter." Chuyue glanced at the plate of apricot with water droplets on it, then turned her head to look at Tao Yao, "Xue Yao has already told me about the love potion." Well, why are you doing this?!"

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, then knelt down firmly: "That day when Miss Su came to the mansion with her flying fairy bun, the slave girl originally gave the drugged wine to the general, thinking that as long as he had the love potion in his body, The dream of the princess can come true, and she won’t be backlashed by the birthstone again, but she didn’t expect to hurt you and the prince... Thousands of mistakes are the faults of slaves, princess, you can punish if you want, and beat if you want to beat Well, slaves are willing."

Chuyue heard that it was because of this, and the original annoyance disappeared: "I didn't expect that you would value my backlash so much... But why did you bother to hide it from me before?"

"Because this servant once promised a person, even if he risked his life, he would take good care of the princess. It's just... he didn't want the princess to know his intentions..." Tao Yao said, mist appeared in his eyes.

Chuyue thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Even if you don't tell me, I can still guess that it was Concubine Jing who told you?"

Tao Yao lowered her head and said nothing.Chuyue stepped forward to help her up: "I already know your intentions, since it's for my own good, I won't be so capricious in the future."

Tao Yao smiled through tears: "Since the general has told the princess, then you and the general..."

"I..." Chang Chuyue lowered her head this time, "Let me ask you, if there is a man, you can only sleep peacefully by his side, is this considered fate?"

Tao Yao understood: "That's natural."

"If he saves you in distress many times, bravely kills the enemy and protects you, does that count as empathy?"

"Naturally."

"Women in this world, no matter how high or low they are, all look forward to being blessed by God and meeting a good man. I don't ask him to be famous and famous among the princes, but I only ask him to value love and righteousness..." Chuyue raised her head, her face There was a red cloud of embarrassment, but his eyes were firm, "Xiao Taotao, I figured it out. I really met the person I like, and I have to believe him."

As night fell, Xue Yao patrolled the palace and stood under the crossing stream pavilion, wondering in his heart: the crossing stream pavilion is not an important place in the palace, why did his brother change the patrol map before his death and take charge of this area himself?
Not far away, there was a faint cry suddenly.Xue Yao walked forward silently, and saw several court ladies gathering together to wipe their tears.There are still a few fires burning on the ground, which are unburned paper money.He appeared and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

The ladies in the palace recognized the color of his clothes, their expressions changed suddenly, and they hurriedly fell to their knees.The leading maid replied tremblingly: "My lord, we are the maids serving the concubine Yun in front, and we are here to pay homage to the empress..."

Xue Yao's expression became even more serious: "Concubine Yun is newly mourning, and the joss sticks have not been broken. If you have the heart, you can go to the funeral to pay homage. Why did you gather here secretly?"

"These are all funeral ceremonies arranged by the emperor, and the empress is not uncommon!" A court lady behind said in a low voice, but the leading court lady gave her a hard look, and hurriedly lowered her head again without making a sound.

Xue Yao's heart moved when he heard the words: "What do you mean by that?"

"The rumors in the palace have already spread, so there is nothing to say!" The maid seemed to be holding back all kinds of grievances in her heart, and regardless of her companion's warning eyes, she wiped her tears and said straight away, "My lord is the new Did you come here? You don’t know, the emperor only said that the empress died of a sudden illness, but in fact he suspected that the empress had an affair with the guards in the palace and forced the empress to death! It’s a pity that the empress used to be a collection of thousands of favors In the end, he climbed high and fell heavily, and ended up committing suicide. The slaveservant serving the empress is really not worth it for her! The empress used to love to come to Xiting, and said that only here can she get a moment of peace, so the slaveservant We pay homage to the empress here."

Having an affair with the palace guards?Xue Yao felt a turbulent wave in his heart for a moment, but his face remained calm: "Do you know the name of Concubine Yun?"

The palace maids looked at each other, hesitated for a moment before answering: "I heard from your mother that before entering the palace, her name was Feixue."
