Li Palace's elegance shocked the world: the goddess is blessed

Chapter 81
Putting the water basin in the washroom, Ting Lan replied with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, it's not because the slaves didn't call you, it's because the Emperor said before leaving that the Empress Dowager will go out of the palace to worship the Buddha today, so let your Majesty sleep for a while!"

"Is the queen mother out of the palace?!"

Frowning and asking back, Yuan Xiuyue sat back on the bed again: "Then I'll sleep for a while!"

Seeing this, Ting Lan's complexion changed, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Princess Xian arrived early this morning, and my son is still waiting outside!"

"You didn't tell me sooner!"

With a flash in her eyes, Xuanyuan Tang needed to be asked urgently about some things, Yuan Xiuyue stood up again, walked to Ting Lan, she took the handkerchief she handed over, and began to wash herself!
After washing, Ting Lan took out the warm-colored palace clothes that had been prepared for Yuan Xiuyue, smiled lightly at Yuan Xiuyue, and lightly lifted the clothes in her hand, Ting Lan urged softly: "Your Majesty, hurry up and change your clothes. Save Princess Xian from waiting!"

Lowering her eyebrows and staring at the clothes in Ting Lan's hands, Yuan Xiuyue stretched out her arms and let her change her clothes.

Not long after combing her hair, Yuan Xiuyue left the dormitory without waiting for Ting Lan to insert a phoenix hairpin for herself, and hurried to the front hall where Xuanyuantang was.

In the vestibule.

While drinking tea, Xuanyuantang was amused by the honest and lovely Qianqian, giggling!

When she raised her eyes, she saw Yuan Xiuyue and Ting Lan coming in, she stood up with a light smile, and saluted Yuan Xiuyue: "My concubine saluted the empress, good luck!"

"Free gift!"

He smiled at Xuanyuantang.Yuan Xiuyue waved to Qianqian: "You step back first!"

"Yes!"

With her eyes downcast, Qianqian exited the front hall!
Watching Qianqian leave, Xuanyuantang asked Yuan Xiuyue with a smile that still couldn't be satisfied: "Where did the Empress find such a treasure, it's so much fun!"

"If you like it, I will reward you, how about letting you take it with you every day?" With a smile on her face, Yuan Xiuyue slowly sat down in front of her.

"Oh... no, no, no!"

Shaking his head again and again, Xuanyuan Tang murmured in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager doesn't like to be unruly. With me alone, she will already have enough headaches. If I add another one, if she gets mad at her, I won't be happy." I can't bear it!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue smiled, noncommittal to her words!
Raising his hand slightly, he took a sip of the teacup, Xuanyuantang frowned slightly and said to Yuan Xiuyue with a slight smile: "I was almost busy with the affairs of Yexi Palace yesterday, so I went back to the mansion to get what the empress wanted. Shi, when I entered the palace early this morning, I heard people from Funing Palace say that the empress sent someone to look for me, you must be too impatient!"

While speaking, she took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Yuan Xiuyue: "Here, this is what the empress wants!"

With a calm expression, she reached out and took the porcelain bottle in her hand. Yuan Xiuyue raised her eyebrows and looked up at her: "I sent someone to look for you, not because I am in a hurry to get this thing, but because I have something to ask you!"

Xuanyuan Tang was slightly startled, and raised his bright eyes lightly: "What do you want to ask me, Your Majesty?"

Taking a deep look at Xuanyuantang, Yuan Xiuyue's expression tightened, and she finally asked, "I heard from Ji Heng that five years ago, when the emperor returned to Beijing from Chu, you were the one who accompanied him all the way?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Tang was startled again!
Thoughts were spinning, thinking about what happened five years ago, there was a hint of darkness in her usually bright and spring-like eyes, and she put the teacup in her hand back on the table, and she gave Yuan Xiuyue a puzzled look. : "Why did the empress suddenly ask this?"

With an unprecedentedly serious expression, Yuan Xiuyue looked at Xuanyuantang fixedly: "Don't ask me why you want to ask, just answer me directly!"

"Yes!"

Nodding solemnly, Xuanyuantang really replied directly: "When the emperor returned to Beijing from Chu State, I was indeed the only one accompanying him all the way!"

Eyebrows pursed, Yuan Xiuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was a little anxious: "When you were about to arrive in the capital, who did you save?"

Xuanyuan Tang looked up at Yuan Xiuyue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
"It's really him..."

From Xuanyuantang's expression, she had already got the answer she wanted, and Yuan Xiuyue finally felt at ease in her heart.

On the side, Ting Lan's expression was also faintly agitated: "Your Majesty, the person who saved you back then was really the Emperor!"

Seeing this, Xuanyuantang was a little confused at first, but then a flash of light flashed in his mind!
Raising her eyes to look at Yuan Xiuyue and Ting Lan again, she smiled slightly, and asked a little uncertainly: "The pair of master and servant back then, could it be..."

"You guessed it right!"

Slightly nodding, Yuan Xiuyue smiled at her: "The person who was buried deep in the snow back then was precisely Bengong!"

At this time, Ting Lan also said with dark eyes: "It was the slaves who blocked the way to ask the emperor and the princess to save them. Unfortunately, it snowed heavily that night and the sky was extremely dark. In addition, the emperor and the princess were wearing light fur snow hats. The clothes are extremely heavy, the servants have not been able to see your appearance clearly, I just remember that the princess called the emperor to worry..."

Having said that, Ting Lan blamed herself and bowed her head!
Xuanyuantang frowned immediately after hearing this!

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was deep disbelief in her eyes: "How can things in the world be so coincidental?"

Yuan Xiuyue shook her head faintly: "The things in the world are really such a coincidence!"

Sighing lightly, Xuanyuan Tang glanced at Ting Lan beside her, and couldn't help shaking her head slightly, explaining with a sigh: "Back then, the current emperor hadn't been enthroned yet, and she and I were originally in the Chu Palace. , Later... In order to force the two of us to return to the palace as soon as possible, my husband, who is now the virtuous king, falsely passed the news of his death to the two of us. , and save you outside the capital!"

The doubts in her heart were all resolved for a while, and Yuan Xiuyue couldn't calm down for a long time!

After pausing for a while, she picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said to Xuanyuantang: "This matter will end here today, and you must not let the emperor know!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuantang raised his eyebrows and asked: "The emperor has saved your mother's life. This is a good thing, why can't he know?"

Yuan Xiuyue smiled, shook her head and said: "You should be the most aware of the relationship between the emperor and this palace. He usually looks aloof and always bullies this palace. Can you still pass?"

Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Tang smiled knowingly!
After thinking for a while, she nodded viciously and said: "That kid is really arrogant in front of you, it's better not to let him know!"

Smiling gratefully at her, Yuan Xiuyue personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "I am here, thank you Princess Xian!"

"How embarrassing to ask the empress to pour me tea!" With a teasing smile, she still unceremoniously took the teacup from Yuan Xiuyue's hand, Xuanyuantang lowered her head and drank it with a smile.

After a moment of silence, she raised her head and asked Xuanyuantang: "Why was the emperor in Chu country back then, and why is it not the current name taboo, but... Wuyou?"

"Earlier, the Empress Dowager has decreed that this matter must not be mentioned, but I don't think there is any need to hide it from the emperor!" Xuanyuantang sighed slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Yuan Xiuyue with deep eyes: " The empress does not know that more than 20 years ago, due to the instigation of traitors, Liguo once sent a war to Chu State. At the end of the war, both countries were seriously injured. Annexing the two countries, realizing this, I had no choice but to ask Chu for peace, and to show my sincerity in the truce, the previous emperor reluctantly sent the emperor, who was only a few years old at the time, to Chu and renamed him Wuyou!"

"Did the former emperor send the emperor, who was only a few years old, to the state of Chu to be a war hostage?" I didn't expect to get such a cruel answer, and it was no wonder that the Queen Mother Zhong would order a ban on this matter in the palace. Yuan Xiuyue's eyes turned pale. There is a deep shock and heartache!

When she was a few years old, she was far away from her parents and was sent outside the pass!

Now more than ten years have passed, but she can still remember the feeling of timidity and helplessness when she left An Guohou's mansion!
And did he actually have the same experience as her?

Do not!
What happened to him was worse than hers!
At the very least, after she left her parents, she went to Yunyang, where her brother cared and loved her meticulously!
And what about him?
At a young age, he left his hometown and was sent to Chu State!
Moreover, it is still such a doubly humiliating proton identity!
For a long time after Xuanyuan Tang left, Yuan Xiuyue's mood could not be restored to calm!

In her heart, as long as she thinks about everything that Nangong Haoling has suffered, her heart hurts like a knife!

Standing in front of the bed for a long time, feeling the deep, lingering pain in her heart, she took a deep breath, turned and walked outside.

"My lady? Where are you going!"

Seeing her walking out suddenly, Ting Lan was startled, and quickly followed her.

"Go to Night Creek Palace!"

Without looking back, Yuan Xiuyue replied to Ting Lan. Yuan Xiuyue's footsteps were extremely fast, leaving the Leng Palace all the way, and ran towards the direction of Yexi Palace.

"Doesn't your ladyship ride in a chariot?"

Seeing Yuan Xiuyue's long gone figure, Ting Lan smacked her lips and hurriedly chased after her...

……

Yexi Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

Nangong Haoling had just finished the morning court, and was sitting at the table, reviewing the papers that all the officials had asked for this morning!

Outside the imperial study room, Ji Heng was dressed respectfully, and with a serious face, he was giving orders to the servants on duty.

While looking up, Yuan Xiuyue unexpectedly came in from the outside, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly bowed his body to salute.

"What about the emperor?"

Without allowing Ji Heng to salute, Yuan Xiuyue was the first to ask out of breath.

"The emperor is grading papers in the imperial study!" With a light reply, Ji Heng asked Yuan Xiuyue respectfully: "Do you want the slave to report?"

"No need! I will go in by myself!"

Faintly, breathing out two words, Yuan Xiuyue stepped into the imperial study room without waiting for Ji Heng to stop her!
"Miss!"

With an exclamation, but it was too late to stop, Ji Heng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly followed in.

Hearing Ji Heng's shout, Nangong Haoling, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room, couldn't help but pause slightly!
