In the imperial garden, it was still busy and trivial as usual. This time we met, the identities were very different, and the steward no longer dared to lie down and drink tea. Only the cigarette rod carved with gold and jade was inserted obliquely in his waist. Happy and happy.

"The two adults are looking for Aunt He? She has been feeling unwell for the past few days and is resting in bed!"

"That being the case... let's go visit my aunt—I also want to thank her for taking care of me in the past!"

The manager took a deep look at the two of them, Jiang was old and hot, he saw that they were not here to check on any illness, and he didn't expose it, but let his little eunuch lead the way to Aunt He's residence.

He looked at the backs of the two of them, took a puff on the cigarette holder habitually, and murmured: "I hope this fire will not burn my little garden."

The old man's sigh was worried and pitiful, as if he had foreseen the treacherous situation where blood flowed like a river in this palace and everyone was in danger.

Aunt He heard people go in to report, but didn't delay, and met the two of them face to face.

Her bedroom is plain and clean, like a snow cave outside the world, neat and clean, as if no one lives in it, even if she sits on the head of the bed, the bedding brocade quilt is still not messy at all.

"You're here for the Queen Mother, aren't you?"

Aunt He held a cup of bitter tea in her hand, exuding the scent of medicine, with a calm face, she asked straight to the point.

Qu Yun raised his thick eyebrows, completely unexpected that she would be so straightforward: "My aunt is ill, and the news is really well-informed."

"Old slave, I don't know much about the news - half of the body is in the coffin, who is going to chew this tongue with me? It's just that the queen mother's medicine came from me."

It was a bolt from the blue, but nothing more!

Qu Yun suddenly stood up, his eyes sparkling: "So it was you who murdered the Queen Mother!"

Aunt He remained motionless, with a slight sneer on her thin face: "Commander Qu, why should you be so excited, the Empress Dowager hasn't died yet!"

She took a sip of her tea, turned her head, and said to Chen Lu: "Speaking of which, thanks to Mrs. Shangyi, the flowers and plants of this old slave did not suffer disaster."

Chenlu was not angry.He just said, "Auntie and the Queen Mother, what enmity is there?"

Aunt He showed a sneering smile, her eyes sparkled, and under the dim light in the room, she could vaguely see her youthful charm.

"What an honorable person the Queen Mother is. A lowly person like me, my slave, even if I want to climb high, I have no way out...how can there be any hatred?"

She said it easily, but the tone contained infinite resentment, as if an evil ghost crawled out of the Nine Nether Hell, baring its teeth and claws, trying to devour the enemy before giving up.

Her face was slightly distorted. In the dimness, Chen Lu found that her eyes were full of tears, sliding gently down her old, wrinkled face.

Chen Lu looked at her with distant eyes: "Auntie, you look at me..."

The golden light in her eyes was shining brightly, as if she wanted to look into Aunt He's heart——

"Aunt, what kind of grudge do you have with the Queen Mother..."

Aunt He only felt that for a moment, her heart was chaotic and confused, and the years of misery and grievances were like a wild beast, and she couldn't hold it anymore——

"Xiaoxuan..."

Heart-piercing, she yelled, in this quiet room in the afternoon, she was so miserable that it almost made people shiver.

She woke up suddenly, looked at the two cautiously, closed her eyes, and refused to answer any questions.

When the two left the Imperial Garden, Qu Yun still had lingering fears in his heart. He sighed and said, "Aunt He's voice really made me pimples—what is the purpose of such deep-seated hatred?"

He looked at Chen Lu and said with a hearty smile: "Lin Yuan is a seductress who holds great power. She turns her hands into clouds, turns her hands into rain, and she has done so many unreasonable things! This time the sun is shining, so happy! "

Chen Lu remained silent, walked a few steps, and finally stopped. She turned around and looked at the depth of the blossoming flowers, at the end of the high wall——

"Little Cloud..."

She said in a low voice.

"Can you, accompany me, go back to 'there' again!"

Qu Yun followed her gaze, and immediately understood that he felt great pain in his heart when he saw the girl's pale, almost transparent face.

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, he agreed.

The afternoon sun is hot and bright, and the depth of the wormwood is even more lush, reaching the waist of ordinary people.

The two jumped over the locked high wall, walked through the avenue full of rubble and gravel, and came to the ruined palace.

At this time, compared to last time, it is different. Under the bright sky, the old palace looks more decadent and decayed, just like the broken tiles and ruins of the previous dynasty. Who knows, here is the former emperor and queen, Living place?

A pair of dragons and phoenixes, side by side, created this glorious and prosperous world. How could they have expected such an ending in the end?

Qu Yun's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but stared at the girl beside him——

She is slim, her eyes are like soldiers' snow, and she is unparalleled in style. After more than [-] years, she is left alone, still in this world of mortals.

But...if she had a choice, Xiaochen, she definitely hoped to grow old together with Yuan Xu and give birth to a few princes. However, this is the ultimate happiness that a woman in the world can get...

His heart ached, and when he thought of Lin Yuan who was poisoned in bed, he felt momentary pleasure and momentary disappointment—this temptress was too cheap!

"Xiaoyun...what's the matter with you?"

Chen Lu restrained her emotions. On the outside, there was nothing unusual. Seeing Qu Yun in a daze, she shook his shoulders.

"Xiaochen...I was thinking, God, maybe I'm blind."

Qu Yun uttered a sentence heavily, unable to bear to arouse her thoughts, took her hand, and walked into the palace gate together.

He was very familiar with him all the way. Chen Lu remembered that he had a secret meeting with Yuan Qi here on the night of the first meeting, and couldn't help wondering: "How did you know this place?"

Qu Yun looked at her for a long time, and then said: "Actually, on the day you married him...I also sneaked here, just on the ridge of the roof, looking at you two...that day, you were so beautiful, I saw you all I stayed... Unfortunately, at that time, he was only the king, and he hadn't ascended the throne of God. I haven't seen you wearing a phoenix crown. I wanted to watch it next time, but didn't want to. !"

Speaking of this, he couldn't contain his grief and indignation, and punched the door with his fist. The paulownia wood door panel on the side chamber was in disrepair for a long time, and he couldn't bear the force, so he fell to the ground suddenly, and the dust filled the air for a while.

"I always remember this place... After Yuan Qi ascended the throne, I urged him to set the location of the secret business here, just to remind myself that Xiaochen's revenge has not been reported, and Yuan Xu is dead, but Lin Yuan is still here!! "

He spoke word by word, but he didn't hear a response. He turned around in astonishment, only to see that Chen Lu lowered her head, and her eyes seemed to be fascinated by the sand.

When Qu Yun held her hand, he felt it was icy cold and trembling badly——

"Little Cloud..."

She called out in a low voice without looking up.

"Actually...Yuan Xu has already prepared the queen's phoenix crown for me. I just wait for the day when the book will be established, and I will have fun with the subjects of the world... I never thought that people's hearts are changeable. When I return from the border, the person who greets me will be It's a glass of poisonous wine called 'Challenge'—he said he doesn't need me anymore, Lin Yuan is the one he's waiting for."

Stumbling a little, she walked into the dormitory, passed through the bead curtain, and opened the secret compartment at the head of the bed.

There is nothing else inside, just two wooden boxes.

She opened the big one, and in an instant, the whole room was illuminated by Yeye Baoguang.

It was a gorgeous and unique phoenix crown.

It is made of pure gold, inlaid with pearls and hollowed out in the middle of the wreath, which is uncanny. A cold South China Sea pearl is included, about the size of a baby's fist. Between the pearls and jade, it exudes a unique glamorous brilliance. , such as the bright moon hanging high.

"It's really beautiful... It's a pity that I don't have the blessing to enjoy it. In this dark room and black box, it can be regarded as a hidden gem."

The sun shone into the room, and the morning dew kissed it, and said in a low voice.
