Linshui Pagoda is the deepest and most mysterious place in the palace.

Because this is not only a pagoda, but also the mother of the third prince Pei Yuanhao, the residence of the imperial concubine of the dynasty.

I heard about this strange thing since I entered the palace. Why did a dignified imperial concubine live in this secluded Buddhist temple without even seeing the emperor? No one in the palace could tell the reason. Everyone mentioned it as if it was secretive.

But as we all know, the imperial concubine is kind-hearted and eats vegetarian food in the Buddhist temple every day. I even heard that a palace maid once committed a crime under the empress. She fled to the Linshui Pagoda. Finally, the imperial concubine came forward and said only a few words to the emperor, and the emperor suppressed the matter.

From this we can see that the status of the imperial concubine in the emperor's heart is not lower than that of the queen. Even after hearing about this, I still have a faint feeling in my heart that the emperor's feelings for the imperial concubine seem to be not as simple as pampering.

I was still thinking in my heart that we had arrived at the lakeside, walked through the winding corridor leading to the quiet pagoda in the middle of the lake, and the air was filled with a faint sandalwood.

Pei Yuanhao walked to the front door, lifted his front collar inside and knelt down and said, "My son is paying homage to my mother."

I hurriedly knelt down with him.

A voice sounded from the lockdown gate. It was not young, but it had an indescribable sense of tranquility: "Why are you here?"

"My son is going to set off to go south today and come to say goodbye to his mother."

"oh?"

The Buddhist temple was quiet for a moment, and the door was slowly opened. With the long sound of opening the door, a woman in a blue-gray robe slowly walked to the door. As soon as I looked up, I saw the mysterious imperial concubine in the rumor.

Perhaps because of the lack of sunshine for many years, her skin was very white, almost transparent, and there were many fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and lips, which made her look no longer young, at least ten years older than her, but it was vaguely visible that when she was young, she must have been a very charming beauty.

Even now, she stood there quietly, dressed simply, as if she was a painting.

But for some reason, when I first saw this imperial concubine, I felt an inexplicable familiarity, as if I had seen her somewhere.

At this time, the imperial concubine spoke quietly—

"Why go south?"

"My son wants to do something."

“Is there any danger?”

"My son has already arranged it."

“When will you come back?”

"It will take more than a month to get faster, and it will take half a year to get slower."

Although I had known the indifference of the imperial concubine for a long time and had long experienced Pei Yuanhao's indifference, I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this conversation between mother and son. She said these words to Pei Yuanhao very plainly, as if she was talking to a stranger, but it seemed that she was so detailed, but it seemed that she was indescribable alienation.

What kind of mother and son is this?

I knelt there in confusion, and the imperial concubine was silent for a while and said softly: "There are many thugs in the south, and killing them for hard work. If you go south, be careful."

"My son knows, thank you for your mother."

At this time, the imperial concubine's eyes fell on me again and said, "Who is she?"

I hurriedly bowed: "I, Yue Qingying, pay homage to the Imperial Concubine."
