Dawn and Hundred Flowers|

The night fog rose slightly, and Concubine Xian's car trembled and ran over on the cobblestone road of the imperial garden, and Qingrong walked in the night with a lamp, followed by several palace maids. In the car, Shangguan Wan'er leaned lazily on the chair, looking sideways at the imperial garden where the moonlight was slanting, her jade fingers supported her forehead, and then she suddenly sneered, her eyes turned to Qingrong, and she smiled and said, "What does Qingrong think about tonight?" ”

Qingrongxiu's eyebrows were slightly twisted, her eyes were deep, a little, and she shook her head slightly, and said: "According to the slave maid, what Chongrong Niangniang said in the main hall is true, if there is really a thief breaking into the 'Ningxue Palace', then this person's purpose is definitely not to assassinate Concubine Xingde Niangniang, but has other plans, but"

Qingrong's voice suddenly paused, and then he said lightly in confusion: "But the slave maid thinks it is strange, everything is in good condition in Concubine De's bedroom, but the bookshelf is destroyed, and it seems that it is not greedy for property, so what is the purpose of this person?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was cold, and her green jade hand tapped the red lacquered wood, and said coldly: "Why?" Hehe, doesn't Qingrong think this is Xiao Tong's bitter trick? After that, Shangguan Wan'er pulled the silk handkerchief in her hand and said coldly: "I just don't know who this slut wants to frame"|、

Qingrong was stunned, her heart was cold, and her eyebrows were locked tighter, but she shook her head and whispered: "Miss, the injuries on Concubine De's body are real, besides... If this was really a bitter ploy, why did Xiao Tong say that he didn't see what the two thieves had taken? ”

This time, Shangguan Wan'er also fell into deep thought, indeed, this was one of the reasons for her doubts, but how cunning and fickle Xiao Tong was, how could it be determined by general inference? Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes and sighed: "Qingrong, this matter should not be taken lightly, you must pay more attention, this palace does not want the arsenic to happen again"

Qingrong nodded and responded: "The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, but the slave and maid will definitely investigate this matter clearly...", Shangguan Wan'er calmed down the slight anger in her heart and said coldly: "If this matter is not aimed at me, then the queen's wishful thinking, this palace will never be as she wants..."

Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she smiled: "Miss don't worry, the queen doesn't want the emperor to know about this, and the slave maid wants people to put this matter in the emperor's ears...", Qingrong's deep face changed when he stepped into the 'Sidui Palace', and obediently helped Shangguan Wan'er get out of the car

In the 'Ningxue Palace', Ouyang Hongyu sat in front of Qingyi's bed, looking at the imperial doctor carefully bandaging Qingyi's arm that was cut by the blade, her eyebrows moved lightly, her hand stiffened for a moment, and then said softly: "Imperial Doctor, you slow down, be careful of hurting Niangniang...", and then turned her head to look at Qingyi with distress, twisted her eyebrows and said: "Sister Xiao Tong has suffered, the queen and I will definitely find out the murderer, and give my sister justice."

Qingyi was half-leaning on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes flickered, as if she was frightened, and when she heard Ouyang Hongyu say this, not only did she not have the slightest joy, but she added a little melancholy, and said hoarsely: "So... Could it be that Xiao Tong can't see the emperor recently? ”

Ouyang Hongyu's hand trembled, her expression suddenly became complicated, she tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said, "My sister is injured, how can she serve the emperor?" And stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt in front of Qingyi, pursed his lips and said, "Sister have a good rest, I'll go back to the palace first..."

Qingyi nodded slightly disappointed, closed her eyes gently, but there was a tear in the corner of her eye, her pink lips pursed, and she said softly: "I understand what my sister meant, my sister won't embarrass the queen, but..."

Ouyang Hongyu's eyes panicked, but then she regained her composure, slowly stood up, nodded, and then walked out of the bedroom

Standing in front of the main hall, Xiao Tong, who was crying and red-eyed, saw Ouyang Hongyu come out, and hurriedly stepped forward, his voice was still trembling and afraid, and the slave and maid rushed into Niangniang..."As he spoke, Xiao Tong's eyes turned red again, and he knelt on the ground in a panic and helplessly.

Ouyang Hongyu held Xiao Tong's kneeling body and said with a smile: "Concubine De is fine, it's just a small wound, the imperial doctor has already taken care of it, but you have to take good care of it, otherwise it may leave an ugly scar." ”

Xiao Tong was stunned and cried, and ran into the bedroom in a panic, knelt in front of Qingyi with a plop, crying silently, unable to even say a word

Ouyang Hongyu stared at everything quietly, for a while, before turning to leave, she closed her eyes after getting into the car, and said coldly: "Go to 'Fengqi Palace'"

｜

At night, the tranquility was restored, only the 'Ningxue Palace' was brightly lit, the palace maids guarding the palace were all pale, and at the gate of the palace, there were also a few more teams guarding the royal forest army.

In the bedroom, Xiao Tong sat on the bed, carefully examined Qingyi's wound, and said with guilt in his crying red eyes: "Miss, this knife hurts very much...", thinking that Miss actually cut this knife on her arm for Sister Ruyue, Xiao Tong's eyes couldn't help but rise again, and his voice suddenly turned into a whimper.

Qingyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, sat up, lowered her eyelids and looked at her white skin with white gauze, her eyes flashed a little dark, and then smiled lightly: "The queen is foolish, but I didn't expect Ouyang Hongyu to follow Yudun...", speaking of this, Qingyi turned to look at Xiao Tong and said: "The queen grounded herself to frame Xiao Tong, ruined the book and drove the concubine, heh, originally, I didn't expect this good idea"

Xiao Tong was stunned, the tears in his big eyes were still there, but he was stunned, what did Miss mean..."Miss's plan has changed?" ”

Qingyi chuckled, but the smile was not warm at all, and sighed lightly: "I didn't want to pull the queen in, after all, grounding is already a small punishment for her, but she wants to participate in this troubled water, so why should I be polite?" ”

Xiao Tong blinked, nodded as if he didn't understand, but he was even more puzzled, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Miss, the queen doesn't allow this matter to alarm the holy driver, why are you?"

"Because I don't want to alarm the Holy Driver..."Before Xiao Fairy Tale finished speaking, Qingyi took it, her eyes flashed a trace of loss, and she turned to look at the floating begonias outside the window, and took a deep breath, "Yu Haoxuan won't believe me"

Looking at Qingyi's expression, Xiao Tong's heart suddenly ached, but she immediately lowered her head, and thousands of tastes were entangled and raging in her heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time

｜

In the 'Fengqi Palace', the queen stood in the main hall and paced back and forth, her delicate face was full of anxiety and irritability, she glanced at Ouyang Hongyu who was sitting on the side and leisurely drinking tea, the annoyance in her heart was even worse, the jade hand slapped the table, and said sharply: "Zichen, are you here to see the jokes of the palace, or are you here to help the palace?"

Ouyang Hongyu raised her eyes and glanced at the queen, then slowly put down the tea bowl, got up and walked to the front of the hall, and then said softly: "The queen has secretly gone out of the 'Fengqi Palace' today, even if the emperor doesn't know, the queen mother will definitely know, and the queen should not forget that the concubine has a spy in the queen mother..."

When the queen heard this, she was even more restless, she walked to Ouyang Hongyu's side, and said hurriedly: "Then what do you say I should do?" If this matter is known by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will inevitably ask the reason, then Xiao Tong was stabbed in the middle of the night..."Thinking that this matter would be known to the emperor, the queen's heart couldn't help but rise a chill.

Ouyang Hongyu took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the queen, and said coldly: "Does the queen think this matter will be so simple?" And she paced to the hall, propped her hands on the table, closed her eyes, and said weakly: "Does the queen know that you left the 'Fengqi Palace' without permission today, even if the assassination is not Xiao Tong's 'bitter plan', then Shangguan Wan'er will inevitably blame the queen, and the people in the harem will inevitably believe that this is the queen taking revenge on Xiao Tong."

The queen was stunned, her face was suddenly extremely pale, and the whole person almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Gonggong Li on the side stepped forward in time to support her, and helped her to the phoenix couch in a panic, and said in a lost voice: "Come on, hurry up and serve the soothing tea"

The queen trembled deeply, she closed her eyes and gasped, and then grabbed Ouyang Hongyu's hand, opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes were dyed with fear, she had been in the palace for more than ten years, she was so scared for the first time, her green and white hand grabbed the silk handkerchief tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Hongyu, you are the smartest, Shangguan Wan'er has been able to move you a cold hair for so many years, not to mention an ugly concubine who is not in the climate, Hongyu, you must help me this time"

Ouyang Hongyu looked at the queen's excited expression, but she didn't know what to say, but thinking about her relationship with the emperor for ten years, the softness in her heart was touched, she lowered her head slightly, held the queen's hand slightly, and said: "My sister has served the emperor for many years, and the husband and wife are very kind, if... Even if this matter is known to the emperor, presumably the emperor will be in vain."

The queen was stunned, looked at Ouyang Hongyu with some rudeness, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? Ten years of kindness... The queen's heart tightened, she had indeed been married to the emperor for ten years, but all she remembered was the emperor's coldness, the emperor's indifference, and the emperor's favor for another woman

Ouyang Hongyu closed her eyes, nodded her body, and said lightly: "Yes, a husband and wife for a hundred days...", I don't know if I am convincing the queen or convincing myself, Ouyang Hongyu smiled lightly, but the frustration in her heart made her breathe.

The Dusk clan, the Shangguan Ju clan, and the Ouyang clan, this dispute, whether it is true or not, will inevitably be injured... The night is hazy, the willows are clear, and after the three gongs and drums, the sound is lonely

Ouyang Hongyu sat in the sedan chair and rushed back to the 'Chongyang Palace', all the way in a hurry, a eunuch in a brown eunuch court dress in front of the sedan chair walked lightly, walking quickly to explore the way, and behind the sedan chair was followed by two women in blue palace maid costumes, each holding a long sword, looking around, and suddenly stopped when approaching the imperial garden

In the sedan chair, Ouyang Hongyu's eyebrows moved, and she clenched the silk handkerchief with her hand, only to see the eunuch headed by her turn around, bow her head and say, "Niangniang, there are people in the imperial garden." ”

Someone? Ouyang Hongyu stretched out her jade hand, lifted the sedan curtain lightly, looked around with clear eyes, her eyebrows were lightly locked, and the moonlight poured down, making her face slightly pale. pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Xu is the palace maid and eunuch of which palace, let's go back to the palace first"|Lan

The eunuch at the head glanced up at Ouyang Hongyu, his elite eyes flickered for a moment, and then he bowed his head and said, "The slave obeys the order", then turned around and continued to walk forward.

The moonlight poured, the plum blossom forest in the imperial garden was depressed, silent, and when a burst of footsteps hurriedly left, a black robe figure suddenly appeared under the tree, vaguely, a masked woman slowly walked out from behind the tree, her clear eyes stared at the sedan chair of the red-topped second-grade palace concubine, grabbed the wound on her left arm with her bare hands, stepped back step by step, and then took off a piece of confetti in her sleeve and threw it next to the tree, and went straight to the direction of 'Si Du Palace', throwing down a few scraps of paper along the way, and then disappeared into the night

In front of the 'Chongyang Palace', the red-topped sedan chair slowly fell, and Qinglan, who had been guarding in front of the hall, hurriedly stepped down the stone steps, lifted her skirt and lifted the sedan curtain, and after calling 'Miss', she helped Ouyang Hongyu get off the sedan chair.

Ouyang Hongyu glanced at the hall with a tired face, and then slowly got up, Qinglan Yu held Qinglan's wrist with her hand, and walked towards the hall, but when she stepped on the stone steps, she suddenly froze, and then slowly turned around, glanced at the eunuch in a brown robe, fanned her long eyelashes, and then said softly: "Hu Hai, go and go back quickly"

When Hu Hai heard this, he immediately understood the meaning, hooked his body slightly, bowed his head and said, "The slave obeys the order...", then turned around and rushed towards the outside of the 'Chongyang Palace' until it disappeared into the night

In the bedroom, Ouyang Hongyu sat in front of the desk, gently squeezing the strings with her bare hands, affectionately with a little indifference and melancholy, Qinglan stepped forward with tea, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "It's almost the fourth watch, Miss should go to bed and rest for a while, the body is important, let's wait for tomorrow to ask about the investigation..."

Ouyang Hongyu looked at the piano in front of her, although she was very tired, but her heart was full of thoughts, and she didn't feel sleepy, she got up and paced in front of the window, stood with her hands in her hands, and said leisurely: "Fortunately, the emperor is resting in the 'Heart Palace' today, otherwise...", Ouyang Hongyu couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.

After hearing this, Qinglan lowered her head slightly, her eyes were slightly cold, and then walked behind Ouyang Hongyu, pursed her lips and said, "Miss is afraid that the queen will be in trouble this time?" ”

Ouyang Hongyu opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes sank, and then he clenched his hands, turned around and walked to the bed, and violently held the peony carving on the edge of the bed, his pale face showed anxiety, but he no longer spoke, 'In the catastrophe', closed his eyes, his mind was in chaos, and the golden hairpin with three thousand green silks flickered in the candlelight, but it was even darker

The gongs and drums of the fourth watch day sounded softly, coming from far away from the hall, disturbing people's dreams, in the bedroom, Qingyi changed into the black night clothes, and then the moonlight, staring at the wound on her arm, for a long time, she took a deep breath, in the dark night, the cold eyes flashed clear, covered the veil, the pink lips pursed lightly, and the plain hand touched the window edge, the cold flower carving, and then closed her eyes

"Miss..."Behind him, Xiao Tong appeared in a black night suit, ripped off the veil covering him with his bare hands, and said breathlessly: "Sure enough, as Miss expected, after Miss left, she let the father-in-law named Hu Hai return to the Imperial Garden to investigate..."

Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, looked at the solemn night outside the window, rubbed the flower sculpture on the window, her eyes were cold, and then closed the window, walked to the bed, half-snuggled on the bed, and whispered: "Tomorrow... Spread the rumors of Shanggong Zhong, remember, it is best to reach the ears of Prime Minister Ouyang and his father."

Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's expressionless face, and then nodded, but Xiu Mei tightened his eyebrows, and said in a slightly nervous voice: "Miss, this matter... If it fails, the maid is afraid that the lady and the virtuous concubine will suspect the young lady" Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking extremely tired, rubbed her forehead lightly with her bare hands, sighed lightly, pursed her lips and said: "Xiao Tong thinks that even if the emperor thinks that the queen did it, can I shake the position of the queen?" After that, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "As long as Prime Minister Ouyang's power in the court does not decrease for a day, even the emperor can't do anything about it, and I, this time, I just want to use the queen's hand to get rid of Shanggong Wan'er, as for the queen... I just want the world to know that the queen has no virtuous ability and is not worthy of the world."

Xiao Tong's apricot eyes widened, and he suddenly said: "What Miss means is to collect evidence in order to abolish the queen in the future, and once the power of the Ouyang clan is reduced, it will be" Thinking of this, Xiao Tong couldn't help but be a little excited, in this way, in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the image of the queen will inevitably plummet, and when the Ouyang clan is ruined, the matter of the abolition will naturally come to fruition.

Qingyi smiled lightly, glanced at Xiao Tong's pure and excited face with clear and cold eyes, and then waved her tired hand, signaling her to go down to rest, while he was lying on the couch staring at the bed not far away, after Xiao Tong left the bedroom, he took the book at random, turned two pages, and closed his eyes

In the early morning, the sky is gray, the wind is raging, and the mountain rain is coming.

Rumors were rife in the harem, boiling, just because the palace maids and eunuchs who got up in the morning to clean found a few blood stains and scattered confetti in the imperial garden, and those scraps of paper were pieced together after they were actually a few pages on the "Holy Ancestor's Family Teachings", although the paper was still stained with a little blood, but the handwriting was clearly visible.

As soon as this word came out, the palace people were all panicked, just because no one knew that the importance of this "Holy Ancestor's Family Motto" to the harem concubines, for a while, everyone speculated which master was so careless, and actually lost the book that was more than the innocence, and finally, the "Ningxue Palace" actually reported that the book of Concubine De was lost.

At noon, there was a lot of noise in the 'Kunning Palace', the Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly, and Qingyi, who was sitting on the side, was even more frightened and uneasy, she held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen Mother, the concubine didn't mean to lose the book, the concubine."

The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows and patted Qingyi's hand, but her eyes stared at the queen who was standing on the top of the main hall, although she was dressed in brocade clothes and had a golden hairpin and jade pendant in her hair, she patted the table with her hand wearing a jade ring, and said angrily: "Queen, what happened last night was your order?" ”｜

The queen's body trembled slightly, a pair of beautiful eyes were about to cry, her red lips pursed lightly, and just wanted to argue, she saw Ouyang Hongyu, who was dressed in a goose yellow robe, immediately stepped forward and said nervously: "The queen mother is angry, last night's incident, it happened suddenly, the queen, as the lord of the harem, was concerned about Concubine De for a while and committed a big taboo, it is understandable, please forgive the queen mother..."

Qingyi's long eyelashes drooped lightly, and she couldn't see any emotion, but the queen mother was even more angry, she got up and looked at Ouyang Hongyu, her eyes seemed to be a little unbearable to blame, but her heart ached: "Zichen, you have always been sensible, and you have protected the queen everywhere, but when the emperor asked you to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the harem, how did you assure the emperor?" After that, the Queen Mother took two steps forward, her tone was much calmer, and said: "Zichen, how much the emperor trusts you, even the mourning family can see it clearly."

Ouyang Hongyu's figure froze, a pair of eyes gradually became foggy, she bit her lower lip, lowered her head, grabbed the silk handkerchief tightly with both hands, and then knelt in front of the queen mother, and said in a trembling voice: "It is the concubine who did not admonish the queen, please punish the queen mother, but the queen's grounding has been in trouble, if this matter is implicated again, I'm afraid", Ouyang Hongyu's voice suddenly froze, she glanced at Qingyi, who was sitting on the chair indifferently, and lowered her head and said no more. ｜|

The Queen Mother's face also softened, but her eyebrows immediately tightened, as if she was pondering, as if she was in a dilemma.

Qingyi's eyes were bright, her heart seemed to be blocked, she slowly got up, walked behind the queen mother, pursed her lips and smiled, but her eyes were full of grievances, and she said softly: "The queen mother, the concubine just wants to get the book back, and there is nothing else to think about, if the emperor knows about it, the concubine... I'm afraid the concubine will not be able to escape the blame", speaking of this, Qingyi bit her lower lip, her face was terrified, and her jade fingers tightly clasped the silk handkerchief.

As soon as these words came out, the queen and Ouyang Hongyu were both stunned, and the queen mother smiled and held Qingyi's hand, patted it twice, and said softly: "Xue'er of the mourning family is really generous and decent, but the emperor will know about this matter sooner or later, and if the time comes, if it is investigated", the queen mother's voice paused, and then looked at the queen with a worried face, and said a little stiffly: "Queen, you go to the emperor today to ask for guilt, otherwise even the mourning family will not be able to protect you"

The queen's face suddenly turned even paler, her figure shook for a moment, but fortunately, Ouyang Hongyu got up and helped her, but she still collapsed to the ground, her eyes were full of tears, and she said: "Queen Mother, concubine... The Queen Mother, the concubines can't go."

Qingyi's eyes dimmed, and then she also said: "Queen Mother, let's stop this matter, the emperor is busy with government affairs."

Ouyang Hongyu nodded immediately, and just wanted to agree, but heard the queen mother say meaningfully: "Although the emperor is not the son of the mourning family, but the emperor's temperament is the most clear", and then glanced at the queen, and said coldly: "Zichen, you help the queen to the 'imperial study'." ”
