Chunman Palace

Chapter 86
For a long period of time after that, Ze Zu never came to the Vanity State again, and no one else has ever boarded the Vanity State.Lin Qingyu was always taciturn, and her eyes were as cold as Xuan Yin's in the past, which made people shudder.

Time has slowly changed from summer to bleak autumn. Autumn leaves are all over the ground, and hoarfrost is attached to the leaves, which is cold and frightening.The whole summer passed, Lin Qingyu didn't go to the state to take a look at the lotus, until now when the flowers and leaves were decaying, she glanced at them.

She is about to spend her second year in this flashy state.

Standing on the white brick road, with a casual glance, she saw through the year of intrigue and all the prosperity in the harem.

The festive season was Double Ninth Festival again, and her heart gradually became restless from the calmness at the beginning.There is such an undercurrent in my heart, constantly surging in my heart, overflowing with anxiety and expectation.

Mo'er was also silent for the past few days, quietly took the incense of peace of mind from her pocket and lit it for her.

"My sister has been sweating late at night these days, but do you miss Master Lin?" Mo'er's voice was as soft as a cloud, slowly soothing her heart.

Her voice trembled a little, as if moved: "Are you still willing to recognize me as a sister?"

Mo'er nodded, and said with a smile: "My sister will always be Mo'er's sister, and this will never change... The Zeyu guards have already told me about the boat, but fortunately, my sister is fine!"

She was restless in her heart, and after being soothed by this word, she calmed down a little. Looking at Mo'er, she felt infinitely desolate and sad: "I heard you call my sister, and I also thought of my own sister, but now she was killed by a traitor. If I can’t call her by myself again, it’s all my fault! I’m not strong enough, and I’m not cruel enough!”

It was only then that Mo'er understood why Lin Qingyu was so out of control. It turned out that the matter of her elder sister had hit her too hard, coupled with the emperor's suspicion and determination, that made her so...

Mo'er said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, the Skynet has been restored, and it's not leaking."

Lin Qingyu had no choice but to smile bitterly: "If the law of heaven still exists, how can those wicked people be happy? I have my sins to pay for, but they are not innocent. Why do they cover up their crimes so easily?"

In fact, she knew it herself, but she was just on the verge of failure, and her skills were not as good as others.

The source of everything is only myself, without the power to protect myself, how easy is it to live in the harem?I also blame myself for believing other people's words too easily.

She was speechless, and silently walked outside the house to chop firewood.It is common for her to chop wood and carry water every day, and sometimes she has to go to the water to wash starch. Her long and soft fingers became rough and red due to the unbearable sharpening.

At this time, she heard someone sighing again and again, and the person sighed and said, "The harvest is not good this year, and the vegetables haven't grown well, so how can we survive the winter?"

"There are also some millet noodles, millet, slowly cook some porridge and eat, and eat the dishes carefully, mix those noodles and make some."

Listening to voices, like De Ji and Shun Xian.

The two of them were coming back after harvesting the season's vegetables. De Ji stepped forward to look at the firewood chopped by Lin Qingyu, and said dissatisfiedly: "These firewood is not even enough to burn a meal. It's almost dark, so I chopped so much." It’s just normal, but it’s approaching winter, and it’s hard to find firewood when it snows, so we’re all going to freeze to death?”

Lin Qingyu looked up at her and continued with the work in hand.

De Ji put his hands on his waist and said: "You didn't hear me when I told you, did you? Tell you, don't think that you are still the master of the palace. When you come to this flashy state, you have to do everything by yourself. Don't think about who will serve you." you!"

Seeing that Lin Qingyu was silent, it gave her confidence even more. She carried a basket of clothes into her room in two steps and three steps, and put them heavily at Lin Qingyu's feet, "Wash them all for me, or else You are not allowed to eat tonight!"

Lin Qingyu finally couldn't help frowning and said, "Why should I wash these clothes for you?"

De Ji raised his head, pointed his nose at the human, and said, "A few days ago, I didn't expect you to help me because of your sickness, but now that you are well, you can't just hang on like this! No It's so cheap."

"...It's too mean!"

De Ji rushed: "Mean? If the emperor had not ordered us, our sisters would not have kindly helped you with these things. I would have starved to death." Then he folded his arms and said, "Today I'm going to cure your squeamishness." , you wash it even if you wash it, and you have to wash it if you don’t wash it.”

Shun Xian snorted coldly and went straight into the room.

Embarrassed at the moment, Lin Qingyu had no choice but to bow his head and say, "I'll go after I finish chopping the firewood."

De Ji insisted: "Go now! How about drying it when it gets dark later? We will wear it tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lin Qingyu put her hands on the bottom of the pelvis, hugged her up with some difficulty, lowered her head and walked towards the water's edge, at the end of the day, she heard De Ji's bragging words: "How crazy is that little girl before? After a few meals, she still isn't obedient, I thought she had some backbone as a master, but she turned out to be a stern and soft-hearted idiot!"

Every word was heartbroken, her heart was trembling, and she was about to slip and fall almost in a second.It turned out that Mo'er had been bullied in these days when she couldn't help, and she didn't even notice it?

Walking to the water's edge, she took out the clothes in the basin, added some acacia powder, and began to scrub. The water was bitingly cold, and the unconcealable chill invaded her body, almost freezing every knuckle. She bent over with great effort. He slapped his clothes with a board on his waist, and his hands turned red and purple after a while.

It's only autumn. If I go out to wash clothes in the cold winter months, my hands will freeze to death.

She clasped her hands, took a breath of hot air, and at the same time quickly rubbed her hands together, trying to regain some warmth.

After squatting for a long time, the white flowers in front of my eyes felt dizzy looking at the clothes in the water, so I straightened up and beat my back. After another hour, there were still half a box of clothes left unwashed. After washing in a vigorous effort, I stopped my heart to continue to rest, and continued to dig my clothes with my head down.

Her arms and legs were getting sore and numb, and there were dense beads of sweat on her forehead. She shook her arms, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued to work hard.

When the clothes were finally washed, she felt that her hands were almost useless. After pulling out the clothes from the water, she was unable to wring them out again, so she could only drag the clothes back into the basin, planning to take them back first.

While carrying it, his subordinates suddenly left, and the basin was thrown towards her, and fell directly on the dirt.She was in a hurry and didn't care about the pain, so she got up from the ground to pick up those clothes.

But it was too late, almost two-thirds of the clothes in the basin were stained with dust and had to be washed again.

Her heart was sour, her breath was sour and trembling, she almost shed tears.

Such a sense of powerlessness made her grieve endlessly, she closed her eyes and let the tears slide down the corners of her eyes.

A warm and soft touch suddenly wrapped around her palm, reminding her suddenly of the winter when she was a child, the scene where her elder sister bought hot steamed buns for her to eat. When the east wind blew, she shivered from the cold, holding the hot steamed buns and eating them. It's not cold anymore.

She opened her eyes, and there was a warm glove in her hand out of nowhere. The black fur was soft and smooth, shining like stars in the sunlight.

A pair of strong hands held her up, and she was about to ask Mo'er when she wore the warm suit, but she heard a calm and cool voice: "When did you save so much clothes?"

It was a man's voice.She was startled suddenly, and turned her head to look, the clear light of the autumn day fell like gold, falling on the man's brocade robe carved with gold patterns, her body was long and tall, like a proud eagle flapping its wings across the border, he There was a look of compromise and concern in his eyes, but more guilt.

She almost blurted out: "The emperor?" She shook her head and took a few steps back as if in disbelief, "No, why did the emperor set foot here..."

The man almost sighed and said tenderly: "It's me."

She saw the face of the man in front of her clearly. It was originally a cold and handsome face, but now it was full of touching tenderness and warmth. The clear and profound face burned into the bottom of her heart. The unique taste of Du Ruo's faint and quiet smoke was inhaled by her into her lungs, like ice in the cold sky, refreshing to the bone.

She quickly lowered her head, as reserved as she was when she first met, but also avoided like fear.

He said softly: "I haven't seen you these days, and I'm getting thinner and thinner. Let me take a closer look."

"Your Majesty..." She covered her face and shook her head lightly, "I know that I am ashamed to see the sky, and I know that I am not worthy to see the Holy Majesty again."

Xuan Yin's voice was a little lost: "Are you... are you blaming me?"

She pursed her lips tightly, emotions surged in her heart, and finally she burst into tears of grievance, and threw her head into Xuan Yin's arms.

Xuan Yin caressed her back lightly, his voice seemed to be full of unbearable: "It's okay, it's all over, I'm here."

The two hugged each other tightly for a long time, Lin Qingyu shed a lot of tears sadly, and Xuan Yin's eyes were a little red, and he comforted her with a deep voice for a long, long time.

Suddenly, she raised her head to look at Xuan Yin and said: "Is the emperor's trip just to see the concubine? Did the emperor forgive the concubine?"

The word "forgive" made Xuan Yin's tone quite gratified, he nodded and said: "I am here to take Qing'er back to the palace."

She was startled for a moment, and then she said happily: "The emperor has found out about my father and elder brother? Did the emperor clear up their grievances?!"

Xuan Yin sighed, and said: "I'm still looking into the matter of your father, but the matter of your elder sister is indeed unfounded. That day when your father and elder brother were imprisoned, your elder sister wanted to visit, but the prison officials took the money. Not being greedy enough, I locked your elder sister in too... Sigh."

She thought for a while, grabbed Xuan Yin's clothes and said, "In other words, the elder sister was indeed framed by someone? Your Majesty, who on earth hates our Lin family so much and wants to put our Lin family to death!"

"Qing'er, don't get excited, I still have something to tell you..." Xuan Yin's voice sank.

She was a little puzzled, and her heart beat in a panic: "Your Majesty?"

Xuan Yin said sadly: "The news came from the frontier that your father caught cholera in the army. I ordered that your father and elder brother be transferred to other places."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes went dark, and she fell into Xuan Yin's arms.

Like a nightmare, countless black beasts came from all directions, almost tearing her up and devouring her. Her body rose ethereally, like petals crushed in the breeze, thin and lonely, involuntary, involuntary, Even if it's your own dream, you can't control it.

It’s like leaping into a field of flowers, surrounded by the swaying fragrance, and all the relatives and friends around her are absent, talking and laughing, the breeze and the moon, like flowers in a mirror, water, moon and dreamy bubbles, all empty and hopeless extravagant desires, finally turned into a cup of mellow wine Poison wine.

When she woke up again, she had already returned to her residence, and Mo'er offered someone a cup of hot ginger tea. She looked around and felt that meeting Xuan Yin again was like a dream.

Mo'er said softly: "Sister, Huahua State is far away from Xuanming City, the emperor has already left." She paused, and continued: "The emperor said that he will come to see my sister when he is free, sister, don't be sad, I believe the emperor will soon will take us out."

It turned out that Xuan Yin really came.

Everything that happened just now was true.

She closed her eyes deeply and wept silently.She would rather that everything just now was an illusory dream. Although Lin Yinan is strict and harsh, she is her relatives who are connected by flesh and blood... Why can't everyone around her go away now, and she can't keep them.

"The emperor has ordered someone to re-investigate the matter of your father and brother, but it will take some time."

Zeyu's voice sounded from the door, she raised her eyes slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mo'er, you go out first, I have something to ask Sir Zeyu."

Mo'er nodded, put down the ginger tea and retreated.

Lin Qingyu sat up with difficulty, then knelt down towards Zeyu.

Zeyu hurriedly supported her, with surprise in his eyes: "What is this for?"

Her eyes were bright and resolute: "Thank you, Lord Zeyu, for your help. I must have persuaded the emperor for a long time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be buried here these days!"

The moment their eyes collided, she clearly noticed that Zeyu's face was slightly red, and she quickly avoided her sight.

Ze Zu closed his eyes, and said in a calm tone, "You don't need to thank me, just helping a friend."

Thinking of that porcelain vase, she couldn't help drawing the corners of her lips into a smile, what she said that day was remembered so clearly by the person in front of her, friend?The person who can be called a friend now is Zezu who has never met a few times.

She smiled and said: "Even so, Qingyu would like to thank you sir. I'm afraid your excellency will be hindered a lot when investigating my father and elder brother's matter?" Who are the officials?"

"You don't need to pay attention to this matter, the emperor will make a decision on that official."

She insisted: "Please tell me, my lord!"

Zeyu was silent for a moment, helped her back to the bed, looked down and said, "Governor of Nanchang, Su Wu."

Although she doesn't know much about the officialdom, she also heard Mu Pingting mention that Su Wu and Mu Beishan are family friends, so she was afraid that she would think of this and think that Mu Pingting was also framed by it?
She was distressed in her heart, mourning appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "I know, I can make a clear decision in my heart, thank you Sir Zeyi for letting me know."

He turned his back and said in a daze, "Actually... Zezu has something to ask."

She wondered, "What's the matter?"

"Why do you always call me sir?"

She thought it was some kind of problem, and when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "My lord will bring some fresh fish with me next time, and I'll help you solve the problem."

Then he was silent for a long time, and walked away.

Her eyes fell on the water tank, looking at the items that were almost piled up into a hill, and sighed sadly.
