Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 165 The Rose Comes into My Dream ([-])
Ruan Wei asked: "How do you know why he returned to the palace and wanted to give something to Chu Meng?"

"The guards in the imperial city are all from King Jin. Xuanwei didn't have enough manpower to protect him and enter the palace safely, so he asked me for help. I sent someone to escort him back to Jinling City until he entered the palace."

Ruan Wei's mouth twitched.

So she did act recklessly.But anyone would think that Xuanwei was going to come back to grab the throne.She also had scruples at the time, thinking that if he could enter the palace smoothly, there must be power behind him, so it would be safer to kill him immediately while he was alone.

She didn't want to procrastinate, and someone rushed into the palace.

Ruan Wei asked, "What does he want to give Chu Meng?"

Wu Maling shook his head: "I don't know."

In fact, I can roughly guess that it is probably something that can restrain King Jin.Hand it over to Chumeng face to face, which means it's on Xuanwei's body.

Ruan Wei immediately thought of the letter that Xuan Wei guarded so hard before he died. What if there are other secrets in the envelope?Why didn't she take another look?
She immediately turned around and went out, and had to find someone to dig the grave.

Fortunately, Chumeng picked a piece of land for him and built an unmarked grave, so he didn't expose his corpse to the wilderness.

Ruan Wei walked to the door and turned her head again: "Does the Empress Dowager not know?"

"She doesn't know. Because you ordered the stick to kill. I can't predict it. If the queen mother knows what happened behind it, will she blame you after thinking about it?"

Wu Maling raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's why I made an appointment with you alone, am I thorough in everything?"

Ruan Wei thought for a while, and only said, "Thank you."

She has done everything, and based on her understanding of Chu Meng, she can be sure that Chu Meng will never blame her, but Ruan Wei still cannot guess whether she will be touched by Xuan Wei in her heart.

The source of Chumeng's grievances with him is the word "Quan".

Maybe Xuan Wei was tired, or maybe he was tired of sitting on the throne and had no interest in life, so at the end of his life he finally gave up the throne that he had no conscience to hold firmly.

Thinking about it now, he ordered her to be strangled on the day he left the imperial city, perhaps to ensure that Chu Meng would be the only empress dowager.
-
While Ruan Wei sent people to dig the grave overnight, she also told Chu Meng everything Wu Maling had said.

I don't want to hide these things from her.

Yu Chumeng was dressed in casual clothes, with all her makeup removed, and sat in front of the copybook to read some copywriting.

After hearing these words, she paused for a long time, and finally said softly: "I know."

Ruan Wei didn't know if she was talking about Xuan Wei giving up the throne, or what Xuan Wei wanted to give her?
"He couldn't take it anymore physically, but he still tried his best to maintain a state of licentiousness. He was confronting me and venting his anger. He hated my indifference and disregard for him."

"So I couldn't deliberately mock him, because I wanted to force him to death. Of course he can see through it."

Yu Chumeng sighed deeply, "He is actually very pitiful. No one has ever taught him how to treat others, how to cherish, and how to redeem. Even if he becomes the emperor, the emptiness and regret in his heart cannot be made up for. .”

Unfortunate people spend their whole life to heal their childhood, and Xuan Wei is the one who was not cured until his death.

Before Ruan Wei entered the palace, she heard that Empress Qi Yuan fell out of favor, but after entering the palace, she realized that it was not the case at all.

When he was alone with Xuanwei, he would always mention the queen intentionally or unintentionally.

During the palace banquet, when the concubines mentioned funny things or said something funny, he would always go to Chumeng deliberately to see if she was smiling.Once she didn't laugh along with him, he would feel bored.

Many people would not pay attention to these details, but Ruan Wei found out, so she knew that placing Jun Jiao in Chu Meng's bedroom could attract Xuan Wei.

He will think about and understand everything related to Chumeng.

He pursues power more frantically than ordinary people, and also needs affection and sincerity more than ordinary people.

Ruan Wei asked softly, "Have you softened your heart?"

Yu Chumeng looked a little tired, and shook his head while holding his forehead.

"Even if he gave me his life with his own hands, I can still accept it with a smile. One life is worth one life. This is what he owes. But I still hope that he can live a better life in his next life, live his life like a normal person, and experience being hurt by his father." What does it feel like to be loved by my mother. It's just that in my next life, I don't want to meet him again."

This incident more or less affected her state of mind.It's just that it's different from Ruan Wei's imagination, Chumeng doesn't feel a little more burdened because of this, it seems to be a little more relieved.

She sat down, Ruan Wei squatted in front of her, raised her face to look at her.

"If everything around you can get better, the premise is that I won't stay by your side anymore, do you think it's good?"

Yu Chumeng frowned, "Huh?"

Ruan Wei said: "Yu Chengrui won't quarrel with you anymore, and no one will interfere with your decision, no one will take back your son's throne..."

Yu Chumeng touched the bridge of her nose with her fingers.

"What nonsense are you talking about, none of this has anything to do with you."

Ruan Wei didn't say anything more, she sat quietly aside, Chu Meng didn't ask any more questions, and continued to read the script in her hand.
-
They waited in the dormitory, and after more than an hour, the person sent out came back, holding an envelope.

Yu Chumeng reached out to pick it up, but withdrew it when he was about to touch it.

After all, the envelope had been in the tomb for so long, so it was normal for her not to dare to touch it.

Ruan Wei took the hand, opened it quickly, and took out the letter paper inside.

There are two sheets of paper inside.

There were only two words written on one of them, "Treasure", in Chumeng's handwriting.

On the other one, at first glance, it is a patch of houses that are arranged in a criss-cross pattern. These houses are densely packed and there is no sense of rules at all. On a house in the corner, there are three small words marked on it.

"Concubine De?"

Xuan Wei's adoptive mother, the Concubine De who had a good relationship with King Jin's biological mother, Concubine Wen Hui.

Yu Chumeng was thoughtful: "There is something about Concubine De hidden in this place, or... Concubine De is not dead?"

"The latter is very possible," Ruan Wei pondered, "Xuan Wei had saved Concubine De's life before, so it should be useful."

When Chu Meng suddenly approached Concubine De, Xuan Wei was restless. Although he wished he could deal with Concubine De quickly, but after all, this person was valuable, so he faked her death and sent her to the palace. Hidden outside.

Yu Chumeng put the piece of paper on the desk, her eyes were deep.

"It's not necessary to use Concubine De."

Ruan Wei originally felt that the existence of Concubine De was undoubtedly a very important hostage in the negotiations with Xuanzheng.

And Chu Meng didn't want to use Concubine De, maybe she didn't want to take anything that Xuanwei gave her.The grievances in the past are over, and they will be written off until his death, and I don't want to owe that person any more favors.

Ruan Wei thought it was nothing, the big deal was to offer some incense to Xuan Wei, but since Chu Meng disagreed, she had no choice but to give up the idea.

"You don't need to use it, but it's better to find out Concubine De, right?"

At least understand the reason why Xuan Wei hid her, Concubine De definitely has some secrets about her.

"Ah."

Yu Chumeng kept her eyes on the piece of paper, "Go and check, what is this place?"
