Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2467 Seven Volumes 171 This Love Becomes Memories

When Mao Tuan'er mentioned Yu Yan's name again, a wisp of misty smoke seemed to float before his eyes.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea, and the blue sky is warm and the jade smokes.

This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but at that time - I was at a loss...

In the light smoke, Mao Tuan'er looked up and saw Yu Ye again.

No, it shouldn't be called Yuye anymore, Master Ling once said that Master Ling still likes to call her "Second Girl"; and he is the same as Master Ling, as long as he opens his mouth to call her, he is still "Niu".

——This is all because their meeting was originally outside the palace!
Erniu belongs to the outside of the palace, she is the little girl who can call him a "bastard" with her mouth open, and lives a wanton and happy life; while Yuye belongs to the palace, she is the one who is still the same despite being protected by her master. You have to follow the rules in the palace, and you have to face those cannibalistic traps in the palace...

Niu said that since the day she realized that she was in love with him, she had been looking forward to the day she could leave the palace in her heart—although she was reluctant to part with her master and did not want to leave him, but she also understood better that she and him On the contrary, the matter between them will become a handle to hurt the master.She was worried day and night in the palace, fearing that she would implicate the master because of this matter.

Later, with the help of the master and the concubine Wan, the two finally left the palace without any danger, left the capital, and went to guard the imperial tomb far away.

She used to be so happy, she once said to him, "This imperial tomb is clearly a paradise for us."

He also felt the same way, thinking that by guarding those people who have long since passed away, and being company with those stone men and tombstones, he would no longer have to worry about the white eyes and gossip in this world.

He made incense in the imperial mausoleum, and was in charge of the sacrifices of the new moon of each month, as well as the sacrifices of Qingming, Shangyuan and other major festivals; while she lived with those "ling households" in the imperial mausoleum village, and planted official land for sacrifices. , there is an official house rewarded by the imperial court to live in, and you can also accompany Master and his old man...

In the first few years, their family of three lived like a fairy.Even after the master passed away in old age, when he was on duty, she was a bit lonely by herself, but she was still in the yard learning how to keep the master in the palace, full of chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, Small birds and small fish...the days are lively and lively.

They both thought that the years could end in such a peaceful way, but neither of them expected that the turmoil in the palace would still spread far to the imperial mausoleum, shattering all the peaceful days they had so easily had!

The news was sent by Gao Yuncong, but he was on duty at the imperial mausoleum at that time, and the message was sent directly to Niu by the messenger.

When he returned home after unloading his errands, he found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he entered the door.

Those cats, dogs, birds and fish were originally her lifeblood, and she took care of them as carefully as children, and used this to make up for the regret that she and him could not have children.But when he entered the door that day, he saw cats and dogs swarming over him, all obviously hungry and eager to get food from him.

He didn't care about them either, so he just found a pancake in the kitchen, broke it and threw it to them for a while-the kitchen was also cold and cold, so he couldn't help worrying, whether she herself hadn't been there for at least a day or two. We've been together.

He walked into the room cautiously, and saw her sitting with her back under the window.

He called her cautiously, for some reason, he felt empty in his heart, as if he himself was a child who made a mistake.

When she heard his voice, she turned around suddenly.

She almost turned around, and immediately smiled all over her face.

But he knew that her smile didn't come from the bottom of her heart—he opened the courtyard door, entered the kitchen, and then fed the cat and the dog... But she didn't know about all these movements until this moment, that he came back up.

"Are you back? Are you hungry? Sit down quickly. I'll fix your meal." She stood up, and he saw that she was busy with needlework.

But he stepped forward to hold her down, he couldn't be happy because of her smile and her busyness, but he was indescribably worried.

——She is the girl that Master Ling grew up with, and like Master Ling, she is not good at female celebrities.

But she was actually doing needlework, and she was holding a lot of them in her arms... Those jobs were obviously his shirts and trousers, as well as socks and shoe soles.

He knew earlier that these were not what she was good at, so he never used her to do them; besides, these jobs were tiring and exhausting, and he was always reluctant to let her do them.But today, she is busy with these things on her own initiative.

He strode forward, met her, and pressed her shoulders, "Don't be so busy. I came back from dinner, and my stomach is not empty right now. If I am hungry later, I will just do it .”

He tried his best to restrain the worries in his heart, instead he smiled and looked down at the work in her hand, "Oh, what's the matter, you've become a virtuous man, and you're all doing the sewing for me?"

Embarrassed, she hastily put aside those jobs, and stuffed them together with the needlework basket under the bed quilt.

But he said in his mouth, "Hey, what are you talking about? It seems like I was not virtuous before! If I am not virtuous, why are you with me? You might as well find a virtuous one!"

He smiled hard, and stretched out his arms to hug her, "Isn't there a lot of virtuous women who can sew in this world? It's a pity, I don't care for those who are everywhere, I prefer those who can't sew." , Unvirtuous! That’s one in a million, the only one in the villages far and near!”

She also smiled, opened his forehead, and spat, "Bah, you secretly called me the laziest woman in ten miles and eight villages!"

The two of them bickered as usual, chatting and laughing, and then it got dark.The two of them cook together, she fry the pastry and he stir fry.After work, I went to the kang to eat cross-legged, and the sky behind the window was stained with blue and black night.

Such a moment is what he misses the most in this world.

There is a folk saying that "a wife and children are hot on the kang", he can't give her a child, but two people can be together like this, which is already the most beautiful picture in his heart.

He even wants to propose very much at this moment - how about he bring a child back and raise him?
Before she could say this, she said that she was full, and took out a sewing basket from under the quilt, telling him to eat more, and she ate with him while she was sewing.

He didn't bother to say that, but hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her hand.

"Niu, what's the matter? Don't hide it from me." He was in the mood to eat, he was so anxious that he wanted to go to bed.

She lowered her head, visibly hesitated for a while, and then slowly said, "Xiao Gao, call someone from the palace to greet you."

He nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said "Oh": "It's hard for him to forget about this in the past few years, as long as someone from the palace comes, he must have asked in advance, and it is another gift for us. It's a message again."

She nodded, but fell silent again.

He also guessed that there must be something wrong here, her unhappiness, she suddenly started sewing, maybe it was related to Gao Yuncong's greeting.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, he could only hold back fiercely.Staying at night, when she fell asleep, he put on his clothes and got up quietly, opened the door and left the hospital, looking for the person who brought the message.

Only then did he know that Gao Yuncong was eager to tell him that someone in the palace wanted to settle the old score he had with her.

If it was him, he was stunned for a while at that moment.

He and she used to be the chief eunuch, and the other was the woman in charge, but they were nothing more than ants, so it wouldn't make people think about it for so many years.

But since there are still people who revisit old accounts, it's not for the two of them, but for Master Ling.

Although these years are far away from the imperial mausoleum, it seems that the imperial mausoleum is far away from the capital and the palace, but in fact the imperial mausoleum is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With Mao Tuan'er's eyes and ears, he still knows everything in the palace well.

Why didn't he understand that the emperor was already 54 years old at this time, and the battle in the harem was no longer about concubines fighting for favor, but had developed into - the prince fighting for heir.

Based on the past incidents of Jiulong's seizure of the heirloom, it can be seen that the prince's fight for heir was originally a more tragic battle than the harem's favor, and it involved not only the harem, but also the former dynasty, and the clan.A little carelessness is not a trivial matter of a concubine falling out of favor, it will shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and it will ruin the prosperous Qianlong era built by the emperor for 29 years!

And because the master is ranked as a noble concubine, only under the empress, and especially because he gave birth to a fifteenth elder brother who is very similar to the emperor-this inevitably became a stab in people's hearts.

After listening, he only raised his head and quietly asked the person who sent the message, "Did Xiao Gao tell you before, who is the person who said this?"

The messenger just shook his head, "Eunuch Gao didn't go into details, he just said that the rumors in the palace have already spread, so please be careful, Lord Mao."
.
He went back, wearing the night light on his shoulders, stepping through the moonlight and falling.

He vaguely understood that she must have received the letter long ago for her distraught appearance.

He also seemed disturbed in his heart, standing on the edge of the field, raised his head high, and looked at the scattered stars in the sky.

If it was just him and her, then it would be easy to deal with, the worst would be to run away desperately.The world is so big, no matter what, you can have a mouthful of food to survive.

But he understood that the two of them were involved with Master Ling.If the two of them ran away at this juncture, the master would definitely be implicated.

In the final analysis—he was the one who dragged her down.

Women in the palace can leave the palace and go home when they reach the age of age, and let them get married; but he is a eunuch, and there is no reason to let go of his duties at a young age.So even if he leaves the palace, he can only change his errands and move from the palace to the imperial mausoleum.

An eunuch cannot be scattered among the people casually.After all, because they are familiar with Ouchi's secrets, they have never had the word "freedom" in their entire lives.Even the emperor, he couldn't just change the rules of his ancestors and change his identity, otherwise it would make the House of Internal Affairs pay more attention to him.

So she followed him, saying that it was a paradise, but she was still in this imperial tomb, and she was still under the eyes of the Minister of Internal Affairs.

I don't know when, as long as someone mentions the two of them again, the nightmare they once worried about back then will come back again.

Until they were swallowed up.

He himself has nothing to fear, the worst thing is that he will lose his life.But he can't leave her behind, and he can't - let Master Ling and Brother Fifteen be implicated!

For the current plan, in this invisible net, there is only one way to break the trick of the person behind it.

The night was dark and the moon was falling. He closed his eyes in the dark world.

He decided that if the news from the palace came that day, he would risk his life first.

Although he couldn't let go of him, he thought, maybe this is a good thing and a relief for her.

Without him, she would have nothing to hide from others, even though she could still marry and have children at the age of 30, and from now on, she would spend her whole life in the world of fireworks and family happiness.

He made up his mind, and walked back with heavy steps.

This is the imperial mausoleum, and it takes a few days to meet the capital; but how far is this idea?The news from the palace will reach the imperial mausoleum in a few days.At that time, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely ask questions, and the mausoleum households inside and outside Huangling Village will probably look at them sideways.

This is the day left for him, these few days are left.

He has to arrange everything in these few days.

He has saved a sum of money over the years, and she has to move it out and keep it for her.Even—give her a dowry.
.
In the next few days, he put an end to all foreign affairs, just closed the door, and stayed with her all day long.

The naughty words that he hadn't uttered for many years, he threw them out in a basket this time, which made her laugh and helpless, pointing at his forehead and saying, "What's the matter, why does it seem that the more you live, the more you go back?" , still the same poor-mouthed look as before!"

He laughed, nodding in acknowledgment.

This is what he wanted, to make her remember the last time with him - just laughing, just those good memories from the past; no tears, no sadness.

Until that day, someone from the imperial mausoleum suddenly came to deliver a letter, saying that there was an urgent matter in the imperial mausoleum and asked him to go back early.

His heart sank, and he knew that the news might have come.

He couldn't be calmer, he just told her everything about the family, before leaving, he hugged her into his arms and kissed her again and again.

She also tidied up a bundle and stuffed it in his hand, "Old rules, when you come home from vacation, if you can stay back, you have to bring something delicious for those men. I learned this craft from my master, and it's all from the palace. Didn’t they all say they love to eat the fine pastry?”

He held back the bitterness, just smiled, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, and said softly, "We are both over thirty in a while. But why do I only see myself getting old, but still look the same as before?"

She blushed and spat at him with a smile, "You're talking nonsense again! How can we women be as old as you men?"

Speaking of this, both of them were a little embarrassed.After all, it was because he was a eunuch, even though he was over thirty, he didn't have a beard on his chin, so he looked really not old; but not being old, isn't it a kind of sadness?
She sighed, and pushed him lightly, "Look at my mouth, you can be angry with me. Go now, I think it's going to rain this day, don't be on the way It was photographed by the rain."

He was also a little embarrassed, but he tried his best to smile and said, "I'm the one who troubled you again. You were right. I am a eunuch after all. These years... I have wronged you too much."

He bowed to her and said, "Niu, I'm leaving. You... Take good care of yourself."
.
Say goodbye like this, with a lot of melancholy.

Back at the Imperial Mausoleum, it was indeed the Minister of Internal Affairs who was in charge of the Imperial Mausoleum who asked him to question him.

Also present here, there is another Malan town full of soldiers.

Because Mao Tuan'er was under the rule of the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Internal Affairs was only worried that his own black hat would be affected by Mao Tuan'er, so he grabbed Mao Tuan'er and asked relentlessly whether he had spoken to the official woman. Food thing to go.

Mao Tuan'er knew that the time of his death was coming, so he smiled generously, just waiting to take everything on his own head.

Unexpectedly, the chief soldier of Malan town stopped him abruptly.The military general who was over sixty years old still spoke vigorously, but he didn't expect to berate the Minister of Internal Affairs.

"It turns out that your lord has made such a big mistake in managing the imperial tomb? From what I can see, Young Master Mao has been here for a long time, but why did your lord suddenly ask this question today? Doesn't this prove that the adults have been negligent all these years?"

The Minister of Internal Affairs was taken aback, and stared blankly at Mandou.

It was only then that Man Dou held up the royal decree, "The emperor's decree has come, and I will accompany Young Master Mao to the Tailing Mausoleum to meet the Holy Spirit!"

Man Dou stared at the Minister of Internal Affairs with a sneer, "Did you hear that, the Emperor wants to summon Young Master Mao specially. Young Master Mao was originally a person in front of the Emperor, but he has been out of the palace for many years, but the Emperor has never forgotten him After this face-off, maybe Young Master Mao will return to the imperial court again—my lord, you will have a good drink at that time!"

Mao Tuan'er was overjoyed, and now he understood that it was the emperor who personally took care of this matter.

With the protection of the emperor, he and Niu could escape this disaster again.

He thanked Mandou and asked for another day off, only saying that he had to go back and pack his luggage before he could go to Tailing with Mandou.

He almost ran all the way back to Huangling Village.

But when he pushed the door open, he still felt something was wrong.Walking into the room again, I saw the hanging curtains in the warm pavilion from a distance.

He thought she was asleep, so he called softly.

But he didn't wake her up, and she got up to greet him.

He panicked now, dropped all the baggage in his hand on the ground, ran in and tore open the curtain——

At that moment, he saw the most frightening scene in his life!
His girl, the one who has been bickering with him since she was ten years old, and has been supporting each other for so many years, is lying quietly on the red quilt, like a newlywed, but her face is already beautiful. There was no more blood, and his body was already icy cold!

He recognized the quilt, he recognized it! ——She embroidered it by herself, and he once laughed, saying that her female celebrity can be compared with the master——but she said that she can hand over the other work and pay someone to do it, but this one But she insisted on embroidering it herself.

He understands, he understands, she wants to say that she can't wear red and colorful in her life, and really marry him once; but no matter what, she has to embroider a bright red mandarin duck quilt for herself.

It's just that he never expected that when she used her slightly clumsy hand needle to embroider the quilt herself, it was supporting her dead body that had gone away!
He howled and hugged her, and shouted desperately, "Come here, doctor! I beg you, quickly call a doctor for me..."

And outside the threshold, the bundles she handed to him when she parted were scattered all over the floor, and under the bundles of pastries, there was also a letter at the bottom.

It's only because he was so worried at that time that he couldn't find the letter stuck in the gap!

He unfolded it to see that it was her slender handwriting.

She said: "...I came to this world for a lifetime, but the people closest to me are not my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. I was sent by my parents to be the master's maid since I was a child. Thanks to the master, he treated me like a little sister and told me to do whatever I want." Let her grow up carefree together."

"If it weren't for the master, I wouldn't have met you in the flower field... So you see it the most clearly, don't you? Everything about me was given by the master. It's a pity that I was stupid and stupid, and I couldn't be in the palace. What to do here to help the master, but let the master take care of us for us."

"I have already been unable to repay the master in my life, so I will never be able to implicate the master anymore. What's more, it is not only the master who will be implicated at this time, but also the fifteen elder brothers... Do you remember how we felt back then? We watched the master enter the palace for many years but had no children of our own. We were so anxious that we could burn incense and worship Buddha for the master every day. Now that the master finally has so many children, we didn't have time to accompany him Take care, this can't add any more confusion to the little masters, don't you think?"

"I know, if I leave, I will make you sad. But you are the person who understands me best, and you must understand why I do this... Our matter is a big treason in the palace, and the only way to die , so that this matter is dead without evidence..."

"I'm going to take a step first, you promise me, don't let it go. You have to go back to the palace, and you have to go back to serve and help the master and the little master for me. I am stupid, but you are flexible. If you don't have my lead Tie, you will definitely be able to make more great contributions for the master..."

"Don't tell the master, I'm leaving. Just say that I went with Man Dou, he is a lecherous person, the master will definitely not be suspicious. Just let the master believe that I broke your heart, so you go back to the palace ...I have already written a stack of greeting letters to the master, you keep it, and hand one to the master every half a year, it will be enough for many years..."

The doctor finally came, but he only stood on the edge of the kang for a while, and then shook his head at him.

He stared fixedly at the doctor, but he had already wiped away the tears on his face.

The doctor is an outsider, he can't let the doctor see a drop of his tear.Otherwise, this tear, when the doctor leaves the courtyard, may become a target again.

Then his girl will go away in vain.

The doctor was a little frightened by his staring, so he smiled, "Oh, I used to work as a servant in the palace, and she happened to be an official woman in the palace. At least I got to know each other once, and after I left the palace, I also worshiped my brother and sister. Come and see her when you're not on duty."

"I, originally prepared a dowry for her, and embroidered the quilt herself, but who knew that she would leave like this..."

The doctor was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Mao Tuan'er lowered her head with a smile, pulled the needle and thread from the needlework she hadn't finished, took out a stack of gold leaves, and put them all in the doctor's hand.
