Chapter 139

In the middle of the night, the lights of the imperial palace were dim, and the dark night seemed extraordinarily deep.

There was a black figure leaping in from the high wall, the little eunuch guarding the gate heard several wind sounds, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a woman in fine clothes standing behind him.

"Master Fangyi..." The little eunuch quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at her.

Shi Yanting gave a "hmm" and said only: "I'm going out for a walk, you just keep guarding."

In the quiet night, accompanied by the maid, she turned around slowly and walked to her own Shuqing Pavilion.

As she was walking, she suddenly stopped and reached out to touch her earlobe, her expression suddenly changed.The maid beside her noticed it, and hurriedly asked her, "Master, what's the matter?"

"My earrings fell off." She frowned, "Maybe they fell off during a walk just now, you go back and look for them."

The palace maid hesitated for a moment: "It's a big night..."

"It was given to me by the concubine before I entered the palace." Shi Yanting didn't say much, just pointing it out.

The maid immediately understood, nodded respectfully and said: "Young maidservant, go and look for it now, master, you should go back first."

Shuqing Pavilion is only a few steps away from this small garden, Shi Yanting watched the maid leave, then quickly turned around and walked towards the empty palace in front.It was the place where the former concubines of the Supreme Emperor lived. Later, the concubine made a mistake and was thrown into limbo, so it remained empty.

She looked around, then quickly opened the door and walked in, then quickly closed the door.Inside the door was a tall figure standing by the window. Seeing her coming, he turned around slowly in the darkness.

Shi Yanting's eyes turned red, but he didn't dare to go forward, he just said in a low voice: "You don't want to die?"

Outside the main hall, a person suddenly walked out from behind the dense banyan tree, watching Shi Yanting's back disappear behind the door with cold eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Tongling asked her: "Master, isn't that Shi Fangyi?"

Yun Su helped Zhu Chai in the hairpin, smiled and said casually, "Who knows."

She stood here for a long time, so long that... she saw with her own eyes that man and Shi Yanting entered the door one after the other.

Yun Su left the gate of Changxin, handed a heavy ingot of silver from his sleeve to the little eunuch guarding the gate, and smiled sweetly: "If you hear any strange news in the future, don't forget to let me know."

Yunsu is the second daughter of the Yun family's concubine, and her biological mother is just an unfavored fourth aunt. In ancient times, there was never a shortage of such stories about prostitutes who became pregnant and became concubines in wealthy families, and fourth aunt was no exception.

Also because of her biological mother's background, Yun Su never got good looks from Madam Yun and Miss Yun's family since she was a child. What's more, she was born beautiful and inherited the beauty of the fourth aunt?
She tried her best to persuade her father to send him to participate in the draft. Mrs. Yun and the eldest girl naturally hoped that she would leave the house and never come back.In this way, Yun Su took the money that Si Yiniang had saved in the fireworks land in the early years and the private money he had saved in these years to participate in the draft. From the county to the capital, with the help of his father, the governor of Suzhou Water Transport, When the money in hand was gone, she finally stepped into the palace.

People who have suffered a lot have always had an extraordinary desire for power, let alone this concubine daughter of the Yun family who was bullied since childhood?

Yunsu has to climb high, and in this palace, the premise of climbing high is also very clear, that is, you have to learn how to step down the people around you.

In the afternoon, when Chu Yan was taking frozen lotus seed soup to relieve the heat, Dong Yi was on the sidelines persuading her.

"Master, it's bad for your health to drink too much cold ones, so drink less."

Chu Yan didn't have much appetite today, but she was only interested in this thing. Drinking it was cool in her mouth, refreshing and comfortable, so she pretended not to hear, and drank her own.

Dong Yi followed her all the way into the palace from the mansion, so she had no choice but to turn around and say to Hanzhi: "Go ask the people in the imperial dining room to be more careful, the master is pregnant, you shouldn't drink too much Cold food, let them send less in the future."

Chu Yan quickly protested: "The master didn't say anything, why did you make up your own mind?"

Dong Yi simply hates iron for being weak, if other masters are happy, they might lie down and sit on the bed every day, for fear of getting tired, only their own master is alive and kicking, and dares to eat indiscriminately!

The master and servant were staring wide-eyed, when they suddenly heard Chong Shan's announcement, saying that it was Yun Su who asked to see him.

As soon as that delicate and naive woman came in, she was flustered, her face was ugly, she hesitated to speak, and she lost her composure in saluting.

Chu Yan signaled Chongshan to close the door, her expression slightly restrained: "What's the matter? Sit down and talk."

Yun Su didn't dare to sit down, she gritted her silver teeth again and again, and finally said: "The concubine just saw...a guard entered Sister Fangyi's Shuqing Pavilion roguely, and Sister Fangyi personally welcomed him in. The relationship is extraordinary. The concubine originally thought that this matter should not be made public, but... But she was also afraid that if others found out, Sister Fangyi would end up ruined, so..."

She spoke tremblingly, her face was extremely ugly, and she was obviously at a loss.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Chu Yan's hands were a little red from the bowl of lotus seed soup, and she slightly raised her head to look at her, and only asked: "Is the cloud concubine really seeing it?"

Yun Su bit her lip and nodded, still a little scared.

Chu Yan smiled lightly: "In that case, I will go with you to see which bold guard entered Shi Fangyi Palace, but..." She glanced at Yun Su with a half-smile, " Yunbi, you don't need to panic, this matter is none of your business, you can rest assured."

A crowd of palace people surrounded Chu Yan and Yun Su to Shuqing Pavilion, the eunuch at the door was about to inform, Yun Su glanced at him, Chu Yan paused before raising her hand to signal: "No need."

So the eunuch closed his mouth and opened the door for the masters.

Chu Yan frowned and coughed a few times, as if she had some discomfort in her throat, before stepping into the hall.

Dongyi said to Hanzhi worriedly: "It must be because I drank too much ice, and my throat feels uncomfortable."

Hanzhi glanced at his master's back, and didn't speak for a while.

If a concubine meets a man privately in the harem, it will ruin her reputation and shame the emperor.Chu Yan asked everyone to wait outside, except for Dongyi Hanzhi who was beside her, she only brought a few elderly nuns and Yun Su and walked in.

Shi Yanting happened to come out from the inner hall at this moment, he seemed shocked to see the empress, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

But Chu Yan just said lightly: "Get up, I heard that your place is lively, so I specially brought Concubine Yun to see it. You don't have to be formal, since I moved in, I haven't visited you yet. Just walk around."

She walked slowly towards the inner hall, the nuns understood and followed her into the inner hall, Yun Su also walked into the inner hall after Shi Yanting's complexion changed and followed Chu Yan's pace.

The nuns began to search around, and for a while there was no sound in the hall except footsteps.

Shi Yanting's complexion was pale and silent, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and there was almost unconcealable despair inside.Yun Su looked up at her, and said delicately, "Sister Fangyi, what's wrong? Her face is so embarrassing."

Shi Yanting's fingers curled up and clasped his palm, but he didn't say a word.

The nuns searched the rooms of Shuqing Pavilion one by one, Chu Yan was not idle, and walked slowly into the study room at the end of the corridor. When she turned her head slightly, she saw Shi Yanting's face paled a bit.

She stopped in front of the ink screen, took a few steps lightly, and saw clearly the man standing behind him with his eyes closed. His black hair was like ink, his eyebrows were clear, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He said nothing.

Hearing footsteps stop in front of him, he finally opened his eyes. Despair, helplessness, hatred and self-blame flashed in those eyes for a moment, and finally he looked deeply into Chu Yan's eyes like this.

Chu Yan looked at him for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the study, with no abnormal expression on her face.

Shi Yanting lowered her head in amazement, and the nuns returned to her after searching, reporting that they had found nothing.Chu Yan glanced at Yun Su with a little regret, and said with a smile: "I also looked for the study room myself, and there was no one there. Could Concubine Yun be wrong?"

She saw the woman who had kept her head down suddenly raised her head and looked at her in shock, while she silently turned her head to look at Yunsu with a righteous air.

Yun Su's expression froze all of a sudden, how could he be wrong?The little eunuch who guarded the door hurriedly came to inform her that there was absolutely no mistake!

She hesitated: "Could it be that the nuns didn't look carefully? Or—" Her eyes turned to the door of the study.

Chu Yan's face suddenly pulled down: "Pan Yun means that my eyesight is not good? If there is a living person in the room, do you think I will not be able to see?"

Yun Su's face turned pale, and the timid little girl came back in an instant. While looking at the ground tremblingly, she said timidly, "I don't dare... I just, it's just... the empress, calm down, my concubine!" Got it wrong..."

She is so weak and pitiful, like a little white flower swaying in the wind, Chu Yan felt for a moment that if a well-known female writer in Taiwan in the 21st century saw this scene, she would definitely regard her as the Queen's heroine without hesitation. Two candidates.

She obviously wanted to laugh, but she still walked out with a stern face without looking back, a cold snort of dissatisfaction overflowed from her lips very appropriately, the queen was full of airs.

That night, the Yongan Palace really welcomed a rare guest, Shi Yanting bowed silently to Chu Yan, and said in a low voice: "My concubine thanked the empress for her great kindness."

Chu Yan dismissed all the palace people lightly, and raised her eyes to look at her: "Instead of letting Concubine Yun lead me to corner you, why don't you tell me what's going on with your own words."

Shi Yanting's eyes turned red suddenly, but he didn't shed a single tear, and told the truth.

This is another familiar tragic love story. The niece of Princess Qi and the daughter of the aristocratic family fell in love with a poor boy in the study. palace.How can a daughter of an aristocratic family match a worthless book seller?

It's a pity that the poor boy didn't give up. Anyway, an orphan with nothing to worry about entered the palace as a bodyguard for the beauty. He couldn't hold back his lovesickness and finally found her.

Unfortunately, Yun Su is the vicious female supporting role in the story. I heard that every story becomes evocative, tragic and beautiful because of such a special existence.

After hearing the story, Chu Yan saw Shi Yanting's eyes that were flushed but did not shed tears, and praised her for her pride and stubborn temper.She slowly touched her belly, feeling the existence of that little life, and her heart couldn't help softening a little.

After a long silence, she shook her head: "They are all poor people."

Shi Yanting didn't know what her intention was, but in the end she only heard her say: "If there is a destiny, one day we will be able to continue the relationship, but before that, life is still precious. If you don't save your life to wait until that day, if you have a destiny, you can only have no part." gone."

This aristocratic daughter was in a daze for a long time, and finally leaned down again and said: "Thank you, Empress, for your guidance."

She walked out the door with red eyes, but she didn't see Chu Yan spit silently to the side very calmly.

It must be because I watched many Qiong Yao dramas in my previous life, it must be like this!

But after being funny, she became dazed again. It is an indisputable fact that the feudal era killed countless sincere feelings.

She was a little melancholy, whether the child in her womb could marry freely in the future? ...Pfft, she must be dreaming.
