The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 61 Old Acquaintance
Shen Ye lit up the other palace lanterns in the palace, and the room was immediately lit up.

He stretched out his hand to help Wanyu get up, but Wanyu glanced at him and only said thank you, but she didn't reach out her hand to respond.

Shen Ye was a little embarrassed with his arms hanging in mid-air, and he took a long time to retract and said lightly: "I'm rude. The servants outside the house are tired at night, and I bumped into Dong Xiaozhu during the night patrol, and it was she who forced me to come. Only then did I realize that such absurd things happened in this palace."

Wan Yu helped Yun Chan up, let her lie down on her couch, and covered the corner of the quilt so that she would not be cold.

"What absurdity is not absurd, let Master Shen laugh at you." She took a Mrs. Tang and pressed it on Yun Chan's chest to make her warmer, but she looked at Shen Ye with a thin mist in her mouth: "It's late at night, Master Shen. I left the servants from the side to call people, and it’s really unreasonable to be alone with me now, if other people see it later, I’m afraid it’s not good to get involved with you.” She raised her hand towards the main entrance, and said in a deep voice: “Today’s Thank you sir for protecting our master and servant well, sir is busy with night patrols, please go away."

The corners of Shen Ye's lips smiled faintly, and the scars on his face were wrinkled, but he was still handsome.

He walked around the house for a few steps, rubbed his palms twice and sighed: "There is no charcoal basin in this palace, so it's much colder than outside. The winter is still long now, how will life go on in the long run?"

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Wan Lai felt suspicious in her heart, pretending to be displeased and frowned and said: "Your Excellency is an official of the former court, the first-class guard in front of the emperor, and this is where the concubines of the harem live. It's not suitable to stay here. I've already been involved in gossip and gossip, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

Shen Ye smiled to himself, and raised his hand from his sleeve to take out a piece of golden tassel paper. The lavender magnolia flower thread embroidered on it had faded and turned yellow.He handed the object to Wanyu, who was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this object?"

The paper that Shen Ye carried close to her body was the 'flowing gold magnolia paper' unique to the Luo family's mother, Shu Shujue. Good friendship will never be given to others easily.

Wan Lai looked closely at the embroidery style and weaving ingenuity of this 'Liu Jin Xin Yi Jian', both of which are inferior, but they look familiar.

I also heard Shen Ye suddenly say: "In the summer of Niuhulu Mansion, are there still hibiscus blooming all over the mansion?"

Wan Yu's heart trembled, but she remembered it completely in an instant.

When he was five years old and young, his aunt Ulanara loved hibiscus very much, and Ye Bilong loved and cherished it so he ordered people to plant a whole courtyard.

That very faint fragrance is filled with Wanyu's childhood memories, and in this memory, there is also a male boy.

That man Ama was originally Ye Bilong's personal soldier, but when the pox epidemic was raging in Beijing, the whole family of sixteen went to Huangquan together, leaving only one only son entrusted to Ye Bilong before he died.

When they were young, Wanyu and Yide often played with the boy, and the child's happy life lasted for half a year.

At that time, he treated Wanyu like an elder brother, and Wanyu even gave her first embroidery piece, which is the 'Liujin Xinyi Paper' in her hand, to the young man.

But one day later, the mansion no longer saw the young man, and Wan Yu only heard from the housekeeper that he was sent to the palace to be a eunuch.

At that time, she didn't know what the word 'eunuch' meant, but she knew that she would never see the elder brother who protected her and loved her in the future, and she felt uncomfortable for a long time because of this.

Shen Ye who was standing in front of her now, although there was a resolute and resolute aura between his brows, but looking closely, he really resembled that young man.

She was overjoyed, she opened and closed her mouth but was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a while, she tentatively spit out a sentence: "Are you Brother Lingyou?"

Shen Ye smiled, neither denying nor denying, only slightly raised his brows and said lightly: "My humble minister Shen Ye."

Although he didn't say it clearly, a slight movement of his eyebrows was enough to make the two of them tacitly understand each other.

It happened to be an old man in the deep palace, and the joy in Wanyu's heart had already surpassed the panic. She collected herself and asked again: "The other day when Ama sent you into the palace, the servant in charge said bluntly that you were going to cleanse yourself to serve the imperial court, what happened now?"

"Ye Zhongtang has a heart, and my minister is also grateful." Shen Ye interrupted Wanya's words, and heard rustling noises outside the house, and hurriedly bowed and closed the door to retreat.

Yunchan's pain eased slightly, and her voice was a little weak and she asked Wanyu: "My lord, do you know that guard?"

"Acquaintance." Wan Yu nodded, thought for a moment, then shook her head and said: "It's not considered acquaintance, now he is a newcomer."

Wanyu didn't know why Jiang Lingyou changed his name to Shen Ye, and she didn't know how he made a mistake to become an imperial guard instead of becoming a eunuch.But he didn't mention that there must be his reasons, Wannai also didn't want to think about it.

There are so many secrets in this deep palace and forbidden courtyard that I don't want others to know.

Time flies and half a moon is fleeting, and I learned from Dong Wenyin that Rong Yue knelt outside Qianqing Palace for a whole day in order to persuade the emperor to release her foot restraint, but her back knee was broken and she didn't get a word from the emperor , but was reprimanded by the queen.

Wan Yu didn't want to implicate others, so she wrote a letter and asked Dong Wenyin to deliver it to Rong Yue.

The letter only had a few short sentences, wishing her to protect herself wisely and support Dong Wenyin and Nala Yuwen, so as to consolidate her position in the harem, so that she would not be left without someone to rely on if one day she recreated a human plot to fall down.

Rong Yue is also a smart master, and has Concubine Yi assisting her in planning, within a few days, news came that Nala Yuwen was attending her bed.

Although she was just serving the bed, she hadn't seen Shengyan for several years, so she was quite proud.

Later, when the emperor went to visit Concubine Hui in Changchun Palace one day, he happened to bump into the eunuch who was delivering food in the imperial dining room. He could smell a disgusting smell from the food in the food box from afar. They were going to be sent to Yanxi Palace to be sent to Wanyu, and immediately became furious and sent several people to the Department of Punishment, and even fined the head of the imperial dining room with half a year's monthly salary.After that, Wanyu's meals will be prepared by the imperial dining room.

The emperor learned from Shen Ye that Ye'an nobleman wanted to assassinate Wanyu, and was afraid that the concubine next to him would be wrong, so he ordered the meal to be delivered to Wanyu's palace by the imperial guards himself, and Shen Ye followed suit. Under this errand.

With Shen Ye's care, there is no need to be tactful about daily food, and every time Shen Ye comes, he will bring some red charcoal from Concubine Yi to Yun Chan, so that the palace can also light a charcoal basin, Not as cold as an icehouse.

Although Shen Ye can only stay in the Palace of Yanxi Palace for a short time every day, these hours just become a way for Wan Lai to understand the situation in the outside world.

Heartbroken and lost for so many days, the empress has been pressing Mrs. An to not investigate the miscarriage, and the emperor is busy with business all day long. If she doesn't save herself, she doesn't know when she will be able to walk out of this palace gate.

Shen Ye has the status of a bodyguard, and secretly investigating this matter in the palace is not as conspicuous as Concubine Yi or Rong Yue.

So she entrusted this matter to Shen Ye, in order to find clues and find out the real culprit behind the scenes to give herself justice.
