Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 236 A Tomb
Concubine Li's death was finally attributed to accidental drowning. Concubine Jin fell ill due to excessive blood loss due to fetal miscarriage.The fourth prince was just because he didn't answer the political question when he was in the study room, the emperor was furious and immediately fined him fifty boards.

The conclusion of this case is muddled, but it is in line with the emperor's wishes. Those who made mistakes will be punished, and they will not be involved too deeply.

Liu Yunxiang also knew in his heart that if he wanted to trip Jin You, he had to uproot the forces behind her.

But it is really difficult for her to have the power of a gnat.

Since that night, Yan Mu hasn't been here for a long time.

It snowed again last night, and it was getting colder and colder.The emperor sent someone to send two mink velvet cloaks, and the queen mother ordered Liu Yunxiang and Wan Yi to send one to Princess Heshuo.

Princess Heshuo didn't live in the east and west palaces, but in the inner city outside the imperial palace. She went out from the hanging flower gate in the west back garden and walked through a long corridor to the Rumeng Pavilion where she lived.

Because Princess Heshuo has no status, living in the palace is against the rules, but her status is precious, and she is favored by the emperor, so she opened a small door in the West Back Garden and placed her in the quiet Rumeng Pavilion.

"But why didn't the emperor seal He Shuo the eldest princess?" Wan Yi asked puzzled.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "Perhaps Princess Heshuo is unwilling?"

"why?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, but she thought that it would be a pity if such a beautiful, gentle, and kind-hearted person really became the emperor's concubine.

Go through the corner door at the end of the corridor, and you will arrive at Rumeng Pavilion, where a maid leads them to go inside.

This Rumeng Pavilion is full of winter plums, and this is the season of blooming, clusters of clusters, blooming like a brocade.Especially when it snowed yesterday, it was overwhelming, the snow and the plums complement each other, the snow is whiter, and the plums are more delicate.

At this moment, the wind blows, and the snow rustles down, fascinating people's eyes, but there is a clearer fragrance of flowers in the breath.

This road is not long, and it seems to come to an end soon, but it is a world after turning a corner.It was as if walking in the plum blossom array, turning around in a daze, and then suddenly found that he had reached the gate of the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, you can still see two plum blossoms, but they are different from the delicate red plums outside. These two are Suxin plums with white petals, which melt together with the snow last night.

"You two, wait a moment, servants go in and report." That kept Liu Yunxiang and the others in front of the door.

As the maid pushed open the door, Liu Yunxiang heard the sound of clanging wooden fish. Under the tranquility, she suddenly seemed to be outside the secular world, detached from the world.

After a while, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and the maid also came out.

"Our master invites you two into the house."

Liu Yunxiang and Wan Yi entered the house, although the brazier was burning, the room was really cold.There is no furniture, there is a Buddha statue hanging in the main hall, there is a confession case below, and Buddha incense is burned on the case.

Princess Heshuo was kneeling on the futon, and was supported by the maid to get up.Xu Shi had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs felt weak when she got up.

"Empress Dowager Lao misses her very much." Her voice was very soft, with a warm smile, "I also have something for the Empress Dowager, please both of you take it back."

Speaking of the eldest princess, she went to the west room, and Liu Yunxiang and the others followed in. The inner room was very warm, with a warm bed, an arhat bed, a dowry, a few paintings on the wall, and men's clothes hanging on the screen.

Princess Heshuo picked up the scroll from the table, "This is the "Diamond Sutra" I copied in gold ink for the queen mother, you can hand it to the queen mother for me."

Wan Yi stepped forward to take it, Princess He Shuo remembered something, and went out again, "By the way, you take some plum blossoms back to the Queen Mother."

When Princess Heshuo walked out, her legs and feet were not very neat, and she frowned every time she took a step.She came outside and broke off plum blossom branches on tiptoe.

"This branch is blooming well."

Seeing that she was struggling, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward to help, "This branch is also blooming well."

Princess Heshuo tilted her head and glanced at her, "Do you like plum blossoms?"

"like."

Princess Heshuo broke off a few branches, "I'll give these to you."

Back at Luohan Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at the "Diamond Sutra" and those plum blossoms, and said with a smile, "She has a heart."

Liu Yunxiang mentioned the pain in Princess Heshuo's leg again, and the queen mother sighed: "According to her, it's an old problem. You go to Zhou Lihuai and ask him to make a box of ointment. You can send it to Rumeng Pavilion later."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes."

The next day, Liu Yunxiang went to Tai Hospital to get the ointment and sent it to Rumeng Pavilion.

The small gate of Rumeng Pavilion was open, and there was no gatekeeper. Liu Yunxiang thought about it and went in. He walked along the path in the plum grove, detoured, and after a while, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

At this time, there was a noise in front, Liu Yunxiang thought it was a servant, so he hurriedly ran over a few steps, turned a corner and saw the emperor coming with his guards and eunuchs.She hurriedly bent down and stepped aside.

The emperor drank and was a little drunk, walking staggeringly, muttering something while walking.

"She likes plum blossoms, so I planted a garden full of plum blossoms for her, but she didn't appreciate it, and hung herself on the plum tree. I buried her with my own hands. I wanted to burn this Rumeng Pavilion, but I couldn't bear it. I have a new owner. Haha, I don’t have to have her, no, never!”

Fortunately, the emperor didn't pay attention to the maid who retreated to the side, and left talking drunkenly.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, thinking who is this 'she'?

She continued to walk forward, because she was thinking about something, she walked astray, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had come to a small road, and there were red plums in full bloom everywhere, and she couldn't see it at all. road.

In this cold weather, she didn't want to be trapped here to death.Immediately, she hurried back, but soon reached the fork in the road, she hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and walked to the right.

The plum forest is very dense, and the delicate and beautiful plum blossoms are crowded one by one. When passing by, a few petals can be blown off by a breath of breath.It seems to be getting deeper and deeper, Liu Yunxiang was thinking about whether to go in another direction, when he seemed to see something through the layers of plum blossoms.

She lowered her body, got into it, and when she looked up, it turned out to be a grave.

The tomb was first covered with a layer of snow, and then covered with red plum petals. In front of it stood a stone tablet with the words "Yanyan's Tomb" engraved on it.

Yanyan?

It should be a woman, and it's her baby name.

Liu Yunxiang remembered the two drunken words that the emperor said just now, this woman named Yanyan should be the original hostess of Rumeng Pavilion, because she likes plum blossoms, the emperor planted a garden full of plum blossoms for her.

It's just that this woman hanged herself...

Looking at the tombstone, Liu Yunxiang suddenly had an idea, but he didn't dare to study it carefully, and felt chills all over his body just thinking about it.

At this time, a gust of wind blew up, and plum blossoms fell with snow. Liu Yunxiang looked up and saw a high wall.

Looking at the tomb again, she thought that the woman had been imprisoned here for many, many years, and even if she died, she could not escape.
