When night falls, the night is as dark as paint, the sound of wind and rain is endless, and the cool breeze blows, and there is a sound.
In the 'Midnight Pavilion', a touch of white floats in the wind, the long hair is like silk, the light veil of the mask moves with the wind, and in the cold wind, the faint fragrance surrounds.
Leng Guyun was dressed in a black robe, hidden in the dark night, like a ghost, a pair of black eyes as deep as a pool of water tightly locked the plain-clothed woman standing in the pavilion, her thin lips pursed out a demagogic arc, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty offended Concubine De Niangniang..."
"But offended..." Qingyi looked at the wind and rain outside the pavilion and said softly, then walked to the stone pillar on the side, and said expressionlessly: "The Lord of the Leng Kingdom brought this palace here, not just to make amends to the palace, right?" βοΌ
Leng Guyun's forehead sword eyebrows moved, looking at Qingyi's petite but dusty back, and then laughed, clapped his hands lightly, and applauded, and said with a smile: "The Central Plains admires that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and your subordinates are very curious, why would the emperor marry such a concubine." β
Qingyi smiled, although the smile was not warm, but it was delicate and lovely, her eyes turned around, staring at the smile on Leng Guyun's face, and said softly: "The palace is not an ordinary family, if the women are talentless, wouldn't it mess up the rules and regulations of the court and the order of the harem?" β
"Oh?" Leng Guyun raised his eyebrows, a pair of cold eyes narrowed slightly, and said coldly: "How about your subordinates make a deal with Niangniang?" β
Eyelashes, Qingyi's heart moved, and then chuckled, those clear eyes stared at Leng Guyun's handsome face, and pursed his lips, as if waiting for the next words.
I don't know why, Leng Guyun saw Qingyi staring at him like this, he turned his head a little unnaturally, and looked at the 'Thousand Rivers and Lakes' on the side, that day, it was here that he met this woman with a little sorrow but a clear cloud, her eyes were cold, her thin lips opened lightly, and said: "Your Majesty believes that Concubine De Niangniang is a smart person, so she will no longer beat around the bush", Leng Guyun suddenly turned his head to look at Qingyi's eyes that had not fallen into the night, and said: "Your Majesty hopes that Niangniang can help Alluring City"
"Get rid of the Queen?" Qingyi said quietly, the expression on his face did not change, but he laughed lightly, and said: "What about the sincerity of the Leng Country Lord?" Did you bring it? β
Leng Guyun was stunned, perhaps because he didn't expect Qingyi to say this, he was speechless for a while, and then he said with a little confusion: "Niangniang is really a smart person... What does the mother want? As long as his subordinates can do it, he can do anything, even if he wants to cold half of the country...
Half? It is indeed very attractive, Qingyi smiled, stretched out her green jade hand and stroked the green silk that fell on her chest, pursed her red lips, and said softly; "The lord of the cold country has promoted Xiao Tong, what do Xiao Tong and his female generation want to do with half of the country? However, Xiao Tong likes to collect good jade, especially high-grade blood jade."
"Blood Jade?" Leng Guyun was even more surprised, he thought that this woman was so bold, so the reward must be not small, although half of the country was bait, but she still had a little sincerity, but he didn't expect her to be...
Feeling Leng Guyun's surprise, the corners of Qingyi's mouth in the veil pursed a sneer, she lowered her head and flicked the jade pendant tied around her waist, only to see the phoenix pendant faintly glowing with blood-red light, took it off lightly with her bare hand, raised it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tong has an ancestral phoenix pendant on his body, but the old ancestor has still not been able to find a matching blood jade dragon pendant for hundreds of years, I don't know the lord of the Leng country..." οΌ
Leng Guyun looked at the crystal clear blood jade, and suddenly laughed, he turned the jade wrench on his thumb twice, and said, "Concubine De Niangniang actually doesn't care about half of my Leng Xiao Country, and she cares about this small piece of blood jade?" βγ
Qingyi's eyes dimmed, and he pinched the phoenix pendant in his hand, a sneer rose in his heart, and then as if he retorted, he said coldly: "Lord Leng also underestimates this jade pendant, as long as the dragon and phoenix blood jade are combined, you can know the god of wedding clothes..." Speaking of this, Qingyi immediately stopped, his eyes looked flustered, and then he pretended to be stiff and smiled: "You can get the secret of immortality." β
οΌ
Leng Guyun was stunned by Qingyi's two words, his gaze instantly froze, but only for a moment, and then he laughed again, as if Qingyi was saying another joke, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the phoenix pendant in Qingyi's hand, and joked: "Immortality, Niangniang is joking with her subordinates..."
Qing Yixiu's eyebrows moved, sighed silently, turned his back to Leng Guyun, and smiled lightly: "Since the Lord Leng has no intention of cooperating, then the palace will not waste time." β
"Please" Leng Guyun suddenly stopped laughing and said playfully.
Qingyi said thank you as if relieved, and walked to the winding corridor on the side...
"The secret of the wedding dress?" Leng Guyun watched Qingyi's simple figure gradually disappear around the corner of the corridor, his black eyes flashed with complicated light, his big hands clenched into fists, and he pondered for a long time...
There was silence in front of the Chaosi Hall of the 'Blood Condensation Palace', and the palace maid who kept vigil was the only one left in Dongyue, and three teams of Imperial Forest Army guards were assigned outside the hall.
In the screen behind the bedroom, the mist curls, and in a huge bathtub, a long-haired woman with creamy skin sits in it, surrounded by dried flowers of cold plums, green silk floating like water, and two light clothes hanging on the side.
Qingyi closed her eyes and immersed herself in today's 'negotiation' with Leng Guyun, her pink lips pursed slightly, and then slowly opened, her clear eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and then glanced at the closed window as if waiting for someone to come and sign a cooperation contract.
The candle flame on the table was flickering, it seemed hazy, Qingyi stretched out her white arm, ready to get up and dress, but at this moment, suddenly heard a swishing sound, and the candle flame went out.
Qingyi's body stiffened, and then she got up and grabbed the tulle hanging on the screen, but the dress was gone, and then her body was caught by a warm embrace with the cold outside the hall, and the faint fragrance of Long Yan suddenly rushed into Qingyi's sense of smell, which made Qingyi's heart flutter, and she called out tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."
How did he come? Shouldn't he comfort Ouyang Hongyu in the 'Chongyang Palace'? Why is it here at this moment?
The peace of mind was instantly disturbed, the water droplets on Qingyi's body gradually turned into white mist, and a burst of cold air struck, so that she had to push away Yu Haoxuan's body and burrow into the water again, hiding in the cover of the plum blossom floating, in the dark, a pair of clear eyes distinguished the look of the man in front of her through the faint light outside the hall.
"The emperor shouldn't be..." Qingyi suddenly stopped, realizing that he had lost his words, and just wanted to change his words, but heard Yu Haoxuan receive it in a cold voice: "You should be in the 'Chongyang Palace' and my full and warm existence, right?" β
Qingyi sensed that Yu Haoxuan's tone was wrong, and the plain hand hidden in his hand clenched into a fist in a daze, and then smiled lightly: "TodayΒ·1Β·Β· The concubines of Gonggong Qin heard it, so they guessed that the emperor must be going to comfort Sister Zichen, after all, the wind was about to stop because of Qingyi, the rain gradually stopped, the cool breeze gusted with slight cold dew, the willows trembled, and the begonias were faintly fragrant
On the fourth watch day, the sky is gray, the moon is lacking, the flowers and plants are all left, scattered and chaotic, and the eaves are dripping into a sound, disturbing the dream
In the bedroom, the Luo yarn tent is gently moving, on the bed, under the silk flower embroidery quilt, the green silk is scattered, the skin is like congealed fat, and a jade arm surrounds the emperor's side, exhaling like an orchid, snuggling tightly
Yu Haoxuan opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was close to his arms, his dark blue eyes flashed with deep and complex thoughts, as if he was struggling with something, but he had to get closer, hug, and indulge
In his sleep, Qingyi whispered softly, the fair-skinned plain hand wrapped around Yu Haoxuan's sturdy waist, the closed eyelashes gently stirred, and then tightened her eyebrows, as if disturbed by her dream, she brought her body closer to the warm embrace, but there was a faint sense of uneasiness and trembling, her pink lips pursed, and she called something in a low voice, and then she was immersed in her sleep.
Yu Haoxuan looked at the two bodies hugging each other under the futon, his sword eyebrows were tightly twisted, and then he closed his eyes, as if he was restrained by something, but he was calm and waveless, and pressed his chin against Qingyi's forehead, rubbing it gently, and then bowed his head and kissed lightly
On the fifth watch, the sky was slightly bright, Qingyi still hadn't woken up, but as if he didn't know that Yu Haoxuan was about to go to court, he actually had some 'shameless' arms around his neck, with an even breathing sound, tightly entangled him through a thin layer of bedclothes, and the spilled hair fell on the snow-white sheets, reflecting the white and delicate skin.
Gonggong Qin had already knelt in front of the dormitory and waited, and the two maids in front of the palace waited aside, but the room was silent for a long time, although there was still half a pillar of incense, but if it was in the past, the emperor rested in other palaces and the 'Heart Palace', and he would get up on the fourth watch, but why did he delay every time he rested in the 'Ningxue Palace' to the fifth watch, and even the hour was approaching.
The two maids in front of the palace looked at each other, and then lowered their heads, listening to the movement in the room, but they were glared at by the perceived Gonggong Qin, and then the two took two innocent steps back and stood in the center of the hall of Chao'en Palace.
Time passed, Yu Haoxuan had to remove Qingyi's hand from his body, but this move, he saw Qingyi slightly open his eyes, looking at the handsome emperor in front of him a little uncertainly, and then found that the sky had gradually turned white, and his eyes were suddenly dyed with a little grievance, Chu Chu was pitiful, and brought his face closer to his warm embrace, and said a little unresignedly: "Don't"
The coquettish tone with a little bit of loss made Yu Haoxuan's heart fluctuate for a while, however, he closed his eyes, still gently pushed away Qingyi's body, got up and got out of bed, and this time, Qingyi seemed to be extremely stubborn, she hurriedly got up and grabbed Yu Haoxuan's arm, her white hands were exposed to the cold air, and she held on tightly, her clear eyes were dyed with a trace of uneasiness and affection, she lowered her head and pursed her lips silently.
Yu Haoxuan sat on the edge of the bed, the eyebrows of the sword eyebrows were still tightly twisted, and there was no trace of waves on his handsome face, but he still looked back at Qingyi, and then held her stubborn little hand, turned around and picked her up, wrapped it in the quilt again, and the cold thin lips fell on her forehead, and then closed her eyes, as if she couldn't stand it if she looked at her more, and then got up and walked outside the screen
The bedroom was immediately pushed away, and Gonggong Qin walked in with a jade plate, busy changing clothes for the emperor, and then called the maid in front of the palace to enter the bedroom to change the emperor's court clothes, and then heard a steady footstep gradually disappearing in front of the court's palace

On the bed, Qingyi opened a pair of clear and unwavering eyes, looked at the top of the hibiscus tent lifelessly, and then slowly sat up, looked sideways at the left arm, the bandaged bright yellow silk, stretched out his hand slightly, caressed his fingertips, and then pulled the silk knot, the silk slipped off instantly, a finger wide, scabbed brown knife wound was revealed, with continued hideous, born on the white skin.
"Qingyi, this scar tells me that you have too many things here" In the dark night, Yu Haoxuan's slender fingers pressed against her heart, and his deep voice was extremely soft, but it made her tremble a little, and then, he wrapped her wound with his silk handkerchief, lowered his head to smell her breath, and whispered: "Is there still a place for me to stay?" The tone carried a hint of mockery and distrust, and then pressed her lips without tenderness
Qingyi grabbed the bright yellow silk tightly, her eyes were closed, and she leaned on the flower carving next to the bed with some gasp, and then opened her eyes again, at this moment, there was a little sharpness and coldness in the clear eyes, she raised her hand and threw the silk handkerchief aside, and then pulled up the clothes folded on the side and put it on, got up and got out of bed
"Miss..."Xiao Tong pushed the door in, and then walked in with a change of clothes, and said, "Miss, the emperor just ordered that Miss go to the 'Hot Spring Annex' to bathe"
Qingyi's eyebrows moved, lowered her eyelashes, and asked nonchalantly, "'Hot Spring Annex'?" Isn't that a forbidden place for palace concubines? β
Xiao Tong nodded, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "The slave maid also thinks it is strange, but the emperor gave such an order to Gonggong Qin before the court this morning, by the way, Gonggong Qin can't come to serve the young lady today, so let the slave and maid send it", he said, and let Dongyue bring in a bowl of black medicinal juice.
"Did you boil?" Qingyi was a little puzzled, but she still picked up the bowl of medicine, but frowned when she was close to her nose, wanting to say something, but she drank it without hesitation, and then took the water handed by Xiao Tong and rinsed her mouth.
Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi and drank the medicine, and then said softly: "It was sent by Father-in-law Qin, Miss thinks... Is there something wrong? β
Qingyi shook her head casually, and then walked to the mirror and said softly: "It's nothing, I just think that the medicine of the past few days... It seems to be a little bitter", and then looked at himself in the glasses, a little distracted, stroked the veil on his face with his bare hands, and suddenly said with some irritability: "Shangguan Zhong's matter, how is it going?" β
Shangguan Zhong? Xiao Tong stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "Miss, don't worry, the slave maid has sent someone to spread the news on a rainy night yesterday, and I believe that Prime Minister Ouyang and the general will soon hear about it."
Qingyi's eyes dimmed, picked up a hosta on the table and looked at it, then sighed lightly, and said slowly: "You prepare some silver taels to give to Gonggong Li, I want the Queen Mother and other concubines to know these rumors in the market, and even more so that the Ouyang clan intervenes in the investigation of this matter, by the way... Bring a letter to my father and tell him not to meddle in this matter"
Xiao Tong was stunned, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Don't let the general meddle in this matter?" This..."
"You tell him, let him learn from Shangguan Zhong back then and not lie down to kill the muddy waters of the Mu clan, I just need him to echo the Ouyang clan on the side, and now the matter between the queen and Ouyang Hongyu has spread all over the imperial capital, so...", Qingyi suddenly thought of something, smiled coldly, and said: "Xiao Tong, you immediately go and ask Ouyang Hongyu to bring a letter to Ouyang Chi, and tell him that the person who spread the rumors about the queen and Ouyang Chongrong is Concubine Xian."
"Please allow the mother to send a letter to the prime minister?" Xiao Tong was even more stunned, how could this be?
Qingyi smiled, closed her eyes, and said a little lazily: "As long as the rumors reach Ouyang Chi's ears, Ouyang Hongyu will inevitably explain to him, and when the time comes, Ouyang Hongyu will inevitably send a letter back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you, just inform her that Concubine Xian is the one who spreads rumors." β
Xiao Tong suddenly realized, patted his head with some excitement, and said: "Miss Yingming, in this way, the Ouyang clan will definitely not let go of the Shangguan clan, so the Dusk clan can naturally stand by and watch, watch the fire from the other side, and sit back and enjoy the success", Xiao Tong was happy, and actually said a bunch of idioms, and his pure and lovely face smiled like a flower.
The corners of Qingyi's mouth smiled slightly, but the light in her eyes dimmed, last night's words of Yu Haoxuan were still in her ears, her heart hurt suddenly, Qingyi reached out and grabbed the shirt on her chest, took a deep breath, and slowly closed her eyes
