I don’t know much about when Chang Qing left.

Apart from the Tai Chi Hall, perhaps the entire imperial city is in a mess. Not every official can clearly see the emperor's condition, whether he was assassinated or something else, whether he was in a coma or already - everyone is wondering why the emperor entered the Tai Chi Hall, and everyone was sent out, leaving only the word Jixian Zheng to serve him, and everyone is also guessing.

At this time, it is naturally necessary for a country to stabilize people's hearts.

And I just sat by the bed so hunched that I didn't even know where I was, but I just felt that everything around me was so blurry.

In a trance, I saw a slender and pale woman in the huge Tai Chi Hall sitting there helplessly, as if she was about to sit until the end of time.

I looked at her, just looking at myself.

I don’t know how long it took, but I got out of the nightmare scene in a daze. I didn’t know what time it was. I just felt that my body was so cold that I had no strength in my hands and feet, and I felt so numb that I didn’t belong to me.

When I raised my head, I met the depths of the bed, with a pair of calm but bright pupils.

I don’t know when Pei Yuanhao had woken up and just kept lying on the bed, looking at me who was standing by the bed calmly.

In the Tai Chi Hall, it was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard.

I lowered my head in a daze, and then I saw that his hand had already let go of the corner of my clothes at some point, and I was still sitting here stupidly, guarding me.

He also lowered his eyes and looked at the corner of my clothes that had been torn apart by me. Both of them were so calm that they didn't say a word, because there was nothing to say.

I slowly stood up and turned to walk away.

He had already sat up from the bed, as if he had touched the wound when he got up. He heard the sound of his gritting teeth, but he still reached out and grabbed me. He dragged me hard, and I was dragged back to the bed by him.

When I fell on the soft brocade quilt, I also touched the wound on my shoulder, which immediately made my eyes dark.

He wrapped his hand around me with his uninjured hand and whispered, "Don't leave."

“…”

I didn't say anything, just gritted my teeth and endured the pain on my shoulders. Although I didn't moan and sniff, my breathing was already messy, my eyes were slightly red, and a hot stream of light flashed by.

When he saw this, he immediately softened his movements in his hands and hugged me gently: "Qingying?"

I lay sideways beside the bed, my waist was gently hugged by a hand. As I struggled, my already messy and dirty clothes slid down from my shoulders. He lay behind me, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. The hot breath blew across my shoulders. The temperature seemed to come from the gaze behind me.

After a while, he whispered, “Does it still hurt?”

“…”

I just curled up in hush. After a long time of silence, I said silence: "I'm tired."

"Then you go to bed."

“…”

"It's right here."

“…”

"I'm with you."

As he said that, he snuggled up gently, hugged me in his arms, his chest pressed against my back, and could feel the ups and downs of breathing and the powerful heartbeat, as if it would continue endlessly; I did not move anymore, and that quiet obedience seemed to please him. After the long silence and silence, his hot lips were gently printed on my trembling shoulders.

"Qingying..."

He murmured in a low voice, very light, as if he was worried about waking me out of this constructed dream.

But he never knew that in such a soft dragon bed, in his warm embrace, I always just opened my empty eyes wide and didn't fall asleep for a moment...

.

It was half a month later when the emperor was injured and he chose a good day to go to Taimiao to mourn the Empress Dowager.

There was no accident this time. Although the people before were not caught, they naturally did not dare to act rashly after failing once. In addition, the emperor sent more imperial guards to protect them, and the country was peacefully completed.

But I did not attend the Queen Mother's funeral because of my health.

That day, Pei Yuanhao and I returned to the palace like that, and then stayed with him alone for so long. Although it was no longer news for some people, there were always people who wanted to spread gossip. However, I really had no intention of caring about what others wanted to see me. After the funeral, the queen and the others came back, and Jingren's palace was in a mess for a while. As soon as I went out, I saw several young and strong eunuchs running out with something. When I looked closely, one of them was holding me with a whole set of scriptures.

I stepped forward and said, "What is this for?"

When the little eunuch saw me, he was so scared that he was about to kneel down and salute. I frowned and said, "No need."

"Thank you, thank you--Sir."

"What's going on with you?"

"Mr. Yue, it was the emperor's order that after the Queen Mother's funeral, move all your belongings to Yihua Palace."

Yihua Palace? The one on the west six palaces...

My brows became tighter and twisted into the character Sichuan. Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time and my face was not good-looking, the little eunuch dared not walk away casually. He could only stand there carefully and looked at me. Then he heard the scolding of Eunuch Yu from behind him: "If you don't see me, you're lazy. Do you have to drag it out to make a few boards and fold your hamstrings before you realize it hurts!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, it's Lord Yue who is asking questions."

Eunuch Yu also saw it and hurried over to pay my respects. I took a deep breath and turned around and looked at him calmly: "Father-in-law, what's going on."

"Sir, this was arranged by the Emperor before."

His white and fat face had some yellowish-brown old spots. When he smiled, his eyes were nippled, but he still gave people a shrewd feeling. He looked at me with a smile: "Sir, congratulations."

“…”

I looked at him, and the flattering smile of the little eunuch, and the busy little palace maids and eunuchs around me suddenly showed a faint smile.

I didn't laugh, and Eunuch Yu said a few more words. When I smiled, he seemed a little uneasy. He waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to go down quickly, then came to me, and said hesitantly: "Sir."

“…”

I didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly. Eunuch Yu thought for a long time and said, "The emperor wants to enthrone you, and he also holds many memorandums, but long live, no one is ignored. Just make this one, you--"

I still stood there indifferently, not angry or happy.

Before Eunuch Yu finished speaking, she just sighed and said, "The things have passed, and the matter has been settled. Sir, let's go over and take a look."

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

I stood at the gate of Jingren Palace and looked back at the tall vermilion palace gate...

.

Yihua Palace is also such a tall and vermilion palace gate. When sunlight shines, it is as strong as a cluster of towering flames.

I stood at the door and watched. Although the layout was roughly the same as Jingren Palace, I still felt very unfamiliar. The eunuchs who were in and out all asked me carefully and saluted me. I ignored me and just stepped in blankly, looking at this new palace made of walls.

I heard that this place was the residence before the Empress Dowager went to Linshui Pagoda.

She is a child of the grassland. She has a warm and free side, but also a delicate and quiet side. Because of her respect, the Supreme Emperor has never allowed someone to live in. Pei Yuanhao ascended the throne and did not make any modifications to it. You can see that the courtyard is spacious and elegant, and several exquisite elegant houses seem particularly quiet. A tree of red maple trees burning like flames. Except for this tree, the rest is a gentleman in the cold year.

The originally cool arrangement became even more lively because it was autumn.

I stood under the tree and was in a daze. A very light, familiar voice came from behind me.

"grown ups."

Hearing this voice, my heart moved. I quickly turned my head and saw Madam Gui standing behind me.

"Madam."

During the days I have been back to Beijing, although I have been to the Linshui Pagoda several times because of various affairs, I have not been able to go in and I have not taken care of her. Now when I see her, I hurried forward: "Madam, are you okay--"

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly froze.

Only then did I realize that she was wearing casual clothes and holding a bag in her hand.

I was stunned: "Madam, you are-"

She looked a little haggard, but she was not in bad spirits. When she looked at me, Chaos's eyes still had a gentle and loving expression as usual, and she said softly: "Sir, it was the day when the amnesty was released from the palace a few days ago. I have been waiting for the Queen Mother's funeral to finish. Now it's time to leave. I'm here to say goodbye to the Lord."

"Absolution...from the palace..."

I murmured these four words that I once thought about but are now unfamiliar. After reading them once, I felt a little choked, but I still smiled immediately: "Really?"

"Um."

"Then, mama, you're leaving..."

She nodded, and I hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold her cold hand: "How can you pass after you leave the palace?"

She smiled: "The emperor has a generous reward, but I have passed by me when I go out."

It's been through any of it.

These five words sound so simple, but they suddenly made me feel sad.

If a young palace maid gets a general amnesty, it is a free world, but she has spent most of her life in the palace, as if flesh and blood have grown together. When this general amnesty is out, it is like an old tree being uprooted and thrown into a strange place. Whether to live or die depends on the sky.

At this moment, I couldn't tell whether she was sad or happy. An elderly person like her would no longer be able to see the sad or happy things easily.

But I was still worried about her. This was the last person next to the Queen Mother and had taken care of me like that. I said softly: "Where will the nanny go after leaving the palace? I don't know many people, but there are people who are with me, so I can take care of the nanny."

She smiled and patted the back of my hand gently: "You kid."

“…”

My identity is different from her. She said this, which was not in line with the etiquette of the palace, but at this time I felt indescribable attachment and warmth. I looked at her with a little red eyes. After a while, I slowly said, "No wonder the Queen Mother, I love you so much."

When the empress dowager was mentioned, my eyes and I became even redder.

After a while of silence, she smiled and said, "I am not yet determined yet, and I want to go out for a walk."

“…?”

I looked at her with some confusion.

She is not young anymore. The old lady at this age has no children. She should have found a cheap house in the countryside to buy it. She found a way to live peacefully. Why did she say she wanted to go out for a walk?

Seeing my puzzled look, she thought for a moment before whispering: "I plan to help the Queen Mother find someone."

"Look for someone? Who?"

"Iron Face King."
