with words in mind

Chapter 342: One Separation, Two Wisdoms, Finally Forming Thoughts 3
The emperor heard that the second child went straight to the imperial mausoleum, and anxiously and angrily led Eunuch Liu to check.

The door of the stone chamber opened again, and the emperor stepped in quickly, wanting to reprimand him, but he saw the second child sitting paralyzed beside the tomb of the concubine Ming, completely lost in his soul. He waved his hand to let Eunuch Liu stay outside.

"Ming'er, what's the matter?"

Qi Ming's tears moved. He knew that according to his father's disposition, he might not be able to get an answer by asking directly. Besides, it was unfilial to open his mother's tomb without permission.

"Just taking a nap in the manor, I dreamed that my mother and concubine were suffering." He stood up heavily and saluted, "It's my son's impoliteness, I shouldn't be so abrupt."

"." As a father, the emperor seldom saw the shrewd and decisive second child so sad, and a trace of sourness appeared in his heart. He stretched out his hand to comfort him, not wanting his son to be one step ahead.

"Xu time is coming to an end, and it is inconvenient for my son to stay in the palace, so I will leave first."

After saying that, he saluted respectfully, Shen Jue left the imperial mausoleum indifferently, leaving the emperor standing there dumbfounded.
After leaving the palace gate, Qi Ming rode his horse and galloped, completely ignoring the snow that was getting bigger and bigger and the wind that was getting colder and colder.
It's hard to say goodbye, I've thought about it for a long time.

Memories are long gone, and my mind is wandering and my pictures are empty.

Yincheng is cold, and the moon shines on strangers in the old days.

Frost and snow are all over the sky, may I ask if the young girl is heartless?

Back at the palace, Qi Ming had concealed his original mood, but his steps were still heavy.

Seeing that the fox had returned to the Yanming Courtyard, Yan Mo was about to talk about the countermeasures she had just thought up: "I have an idea about Concubine Qi, do you want to hear it?" She leaned against the door with her arms folded and her chest back as usual.

Qi Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around: "You just go and do it. The people in the mansion are at your disposal, so you don't have to worry about everything." After speaking, he dragged his heavy steps and went back to the side room.
Seeing that the other party didn't even look at him, Yan Mo felt that today's fox was so strange, suddenly it was as cold as this snowy day.
"Lu Jiu, where did the prince go just now?"

Lu Jiu, who was guarding outside the courtyard, heard this, and stepped forward a few steps. Afraid of being heard by the prince, he made a gesture of bowing to the sky.

"Entering the palace face-to-face?" Yan Mo muttered, "Could it be that you have hit a wall again? Is the relationship between father and son in the world so difficult?" Thinking of the many collisions between Mo's father and her eldest brother when she was a child, she sighed and said a word of emotion . "Lu Jiu."

Seeing the concubine beckoning, Lu Jiu hesitated, afraid that the concubine would ask about the prince, so he didn't know
"Princess, what's the matter?" Finally, he moved to the door of the main house and asked.

Yan Mo didn't ask any more questions about Qi Ming, but ordered Lu Jiu to secretly bring Nurse Leng to the vicinity of the palace.

In the long snowy night, in a small thatched hut in the outskirts of Beijing, Mother Leng was explaining everything to Cuili.

"Thank you Mammy for saving my life." Cuili knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

"get up"

"There is no way for Cuili to repay your life-saving grace! I wish to be an ox or a horse, and serve by Mammy's side!"

"After this incident, you and I are already dead." Nurse Leng managed to help Cuili up, "I don't have that kind of luck, let you be my cow and horse."

"Is Mammy going to chase Cuili away? But... Cuili has long since lost her home, I hope Mammy will take her in kindly."

"Good boy, you have to understand that I am not an ordinary person to take you out of the palace today. Are you really willing to be with me?"

Cuili hesitated
Nurse Leng: "You can also choose to leave. Keep your identity hidden, find a good family, and live a peaceful life."

"Cuili has no one to rely on, and has passed through the gate of hell several times, rather than live her life in ignorance, Cuili would rather follow the mother!"

Mother Leng: "."

"If she wants to stay, she can stay. The master said that her hearing power is really rare. If my aunt is willing, she can take it with her."

"!" Nurse Leng recognized the voice of the master, and saluted the figure outside the window, "This old servant has seen you."

Lu Jiu: "The hostess has something to say, please tell my aunt in the city, the old place and the old time."

"Old slave understands." Just as Nanny Leng finished answering, the figure outside the window disappeared in a flash.She turned around and said, "You can't call me Nanny outside, but you can call me Aunt from now on."

"Yes, aunt." Cuili replied with a smile on her face.

As the long night was coming to an end, Qi Ming tossed and turned and stayed up all night, and the emperor was the same.

Thinking of how the second child misses his mother, he can't help feeling soft-hearted. He has not been accompanied by his mother since he was a child. It turned out that it was the pain in the hearts of the eldest son and the second son. Thinking of this, he decided to forgive Concubine Qi.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: Today, the twelve princes have grown up at the beginning, with great filial piety and virtue, elegant and pure, and have the demeanor of a son made of jade. He is authorized to inherit the title of Yuwang early and grants the three states of Jianghuai. Because she was deceived by the lowly slaves and filthy, the mother Concubine Qi was released without charge and went with King Yu. This—”

After Qi Duan heard the decree, the sadness of many days finally dissipated, and he fell into King Xing's arms crying and laughing.

But when Concubine Qi heard the will, she was hit hard!Knowing that Sister Leng took the blame for her and killed Cuili and then committed suicide, she just felt that everything was right and she didn't move.

Now, what should she do?Duan'er's departure from the capital means staying away from the center of power and joining hands with that person. Is this the result in exchange? !
If she had known this before, she should have confessed that person in the Palace of Qinzheng that day, instead of suffering from this dumb trick!But she was also worried that that person would be detrimental to Duan'er, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb to admit everything, just to show her sincerity in cooperation!
But she really didn't expect that the final result would be that she and Duan'er would leave the capital!

Yi'an Palace.

After Qi Ming quietly watched Yan Mo leave with exhaustion, he took out a brocade box from the depths of the bed cabinet.

Opening the box, there was a pair of silver flower and grass earrings inside, which were exactly the pair left in Mingzhou by Yan Mo.

Before returning to Beijing from Mingzhou, Qi Ming accidentally discovered it when he was cleaning up Yueming Xuan, and brought it back with him.Now he knows it, Yan Mo dare not accept this thing is both cruel and affectionate
The relics of the mother and concubine have been kept by the emperor until he discovered them in Yuemingxuan, and suddenly realized that the pair of earrings shaped on the basis of cylinders seemed to fit into his tail ring.

After removing the earhook, he took the bottom of the earring with no pattern and fit it, and it fit!The combination of three things is like one!
"Mother Concubine. What exactly does this mean? That letter. What exactly is it?" Because of fatigue, Qi Ming was a little dizzy, unable to support himself, he propped himself up in front of the cabinet, and made a slight thud.

"Your Majesty!" Senior One and Senior Two who just came back from the outside came to report Deng Shangshu's whereabouts, and when they heard the voice, they rushed into the house to check!
"It's nothing." Qi Ming calmed down, put the box away, and when he came out, he swallowed the porridge he had prepared in one gulp, trying to regain some energy.

Seeing this, the first and second graders looked at each other and thought, influenced by the concubine, the prince has become bolder in eating.

"Say."

Gao Yi: "Last night, there were no changes in Deng's and Hong's residences, and Deng Shangshu did not visit Hong's and Xiang's residences again."

"Deng Mansion and Hong Mansion, continue to send people to watch." After speaking, Qi Ming hesitated, then took a deep breath, and said coldly, "There is still one thing that needs to be done by you two."

Senior one and senior two: "?"

"Let's just say that the king is interested in Dr. Huang and spread it out. The sooner the better, the more people know about it, the better."

"My lord!!" Senior One and Senior Two shouted in unbelief in unison!What about the princess? !

"This king has his own intentions." Qi Ming said lifelessly, "Let's go."

"But."

The second year of high school wanted to argue a few words, but was forcibly pulled away by the first year of high school!

"My lord has already said that, we have our own intentions, so let's just do it, let's go, let's go!"

"Brother, why don't you let me ask what the prince's intention is!"

As the voices of the two people went away, Qi Ming couldn't stand it any longer, showing bitterness on his face, the piercing pain caused by helplessness was almost pervasive, and there was nowhere to escape.
In the afternoon, King Yu and Concubine Qi are about to leave.

"Princess." Lu Jiu asked in a low voice while holding an umbrella, "What are we going to do on the road of Concubine Qi?"

Yan Mo stepped on the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, and the tip of her nose was already moistened by the breath she exhaled.

"What do you think Concubine Qi cares most about?"

"Now it seems that what she cares most about is the position of the Eastern Palace."

Yan Mo: "Then the East Palace is gone?"

"Well, then it's His Royal Highness Yu Wang." Lu Jiu replied nonchalantly, suddenly!He straightened up and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the princess wants to kidnap His Royal Highness Prince Yu?!"

"What are you thinking!" Yan Mo gave the other party a slap in the face, "I'm not afraid to accuse your prince of an unfounded crime!"

Lu Jiu twisted his facial features, and looked at the other party in disbelief: The princess always has something to do, but now she looks forward and backward!

"Follow the guard of honor convoy for a while, and you'll know at night!"

"Night? Night!!" When Lu Jiu heard about the night, those terrifying memories swirled in her mind like a revolving lantern! "Why does it have to be night?!"

"It's not at night, there's no atmosphere!" Yan Mo squinted at the other party, and replied with a smirk!
"Uh huh huh" Lu Jiu's face immediately turned green, and she had the urge to run away
While speaking, the guard of honor of Concubine Qi and King Yu had turned from the main street.

Yan Mo saw that Deng Shangshu was also in the send-off team, because the distance was too far, although she could see what the other party was talking to Concubine Qi, but unfortunately she couldn't hear it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Deng Juli seldom rode a horse to follow Concubine Qi's carriage, "His Royal Highness is still young, you can hide your strength and bide your time when you go to the fief, and when the time comes, you can do things yourself! Your Majesty just needs to take good care of His Highness!"

When parting from the emperor, civil and military officials saw him off, Concubine Qi still didn't speak, even if her brother was in front of her, she just stared at him with puzzled eyes!

"Brother understands, you have been wronged." Deng Shangshu comforted him, "That person is not unreasonable. King Yu is still young, and staying away from the capital can save his life and make the enemy relax their vigilance. It is the best of both worlds. However, What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Concubine Qi looked at her brother resentfully, her hands clasped each other even tighter!Just outside the palace gate, that person was in the crowd. Inadvertently, she happened to see a maid in the motorcade staring at her, and then the maid looked at herself!Anyone with a brain knows that this is the one who is warning her!
For the sake of Qiduan, she could only swallow her anger and continue to play the mute.

Yan Mo watched from a distance, seeing that Concubine Qi was always full of resentment, and always felt that something was wrong
The days of thawing snow are always extremely cold, and after the guard of honor of Concubine Qi and King Yu leaves the capital, there are no people around to watch.

Yan Mo and Lu Jiu followed secretly all the way until night slowly fell, and the guard of honor team finally arrived at the nearest palace.

An hour later, after a half-day trek, the group of people rested early to recharge their batteries for the next day's journey.

"Princess, are we really going to do this?" Lu Jiu asked cautiously, watching the man on duty dozing off.

"Everyone has gone in, and you still want to retreat?" Yan Mo frowned and said, "Besides, you are not the one doing the work, why are you nervous?"

"Uh" Lu Jiu stroked the goosebumps on his arms, looked around and said, "It's because I'm not the one doing the work, so the subordinates are afraid." After saying that, he couldn't help shivering!

"Hush!" Hearing slight movements in the room, Yan Mo hurriedly signaled to silence!
At the same time, there was a strange atmosphere in the quiet concubine's room. Under the dim light, a white figure appeared quietly!Approach quickly!
The fluttering white robe brought up a gust of cold wind, which blew out the remaining candles!

Concubine Qi didn't sleep well at first, but after the chill hit her, she woke up in a daze, opened her eyes, and saw a white shadow standing beside the bed, she almost jumped up! !
"Your Majesty." Ghost Leng, with her hair loose, said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, this old slave is here to see you."

The damn Concubine Qi was about to scream because she was afraid, but suddenly she had a second thought and quickly covered her mouth!

"Your Majesty, the old slave died unjustly, Your Majesty"

"Yeah." Concubine Yan suppressed her impulse, turned over and got out of bed and wanted to escape, but the ghost was faster than her!
"Your Majesty, this old slave died unjustly. This old slave took Cuili away, so no one can threaten Your Majesty anymore. Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Concubine Yan was forced to retreat into the room, she still didn't dare to speak, she just shook her head vigorously!
"Your Majesty, this old slave suffered an injustice and was unable to be reincarnated. This old slave came here today, just to know the truth. My Lady, Your Majesty, I hope you will be able to tell this old slave the truth."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she was shocked!Thinking of the maidservant who was staring at each other during the day, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning! !

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old servant has been wronged, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, tell this old servant the truth—"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———' "Go away! Go away!! You are also sent by him, right?! Go away!! Go away!!!"

"!!!" Hearing the screams, Yan Mo and Lu Jiu flashed in a flash!
Lu Jiu hit the hand knife directly, knocking out the maid on duty!At the same time, Yan Mo opened the door with a blow! !

The cold wind swept through the entire room with a nighttime horror atmosphere! ! !
Yan Mo's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. When he saw Concubine Qi who was on the verge of collapse, he knocked her out with a single blow!Immediately afterwards, she spun her footsteps, joined hands with Lu Jiu to take Mother Leng up to the roof and disappeared!

"Come on! Come on, come on—"

The guards heard the screams and acted quickly but were still late. They saw nothing except the unconscious maidservant and the wide open door!
The night is psychedelic, and the cold wind is solemn.

After Yan Mo and his party got into the dark forest and found a safe hiding place, Mother Leng immediately apologized.

"Princess, you are an old slave and incompetent"

"Auntie, don't blame yourself." Yan Mo gestured with his hands, "It's because I didn't think carefully, and forced me too hard."

Lu Jiu: "Princess, what should I do next?"

Yan Mo's usual trick of pretending to be a ghost has always been effective, but unexpectedly this trick is too violent for Concubine Qi, and it backfires in the end!

"Observe for a while first."

After midnight, when the sky released a glimmer of light, what Yan Mo waited for was not good news.

"Princess!" Lu Jiu hurried back after inquiring, "It's no good, Concubine Qi was overly frightened and went crazy."

Yan Mo: "!!!"
