Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 52

When Xia Zhen returned to Xifu Palace, Ni Yelin's extremely angry expression made her startled, and she hesitated for a moment, should she tell her master the bad news?

"Your Majesty, that Shi Rou'er didn't go to Qionghua Garden." After hesitating for a while, she still told the truth.

"I know," Ni Yelin's voice was sharp and piercing, with uncontrollable anger: "Of course she won't go to Qionghua Garden, that bitch just left my place."

"Ah?" Xia Zhen couldn't help being taken aback, that Shi Rou'er not only didn't go to Qionghua Garden, but came to Xifu Palace instead.

Seeing such an outrageous and angry face of her own mother, Xia Zhen immediately understood that Shi Rou'er might have guessed their tricks, so not only did the jade concubine not fall for the trap tonight, but she came here to demonstrate instead.

Such a letter is very likely to be seen through by others, as long as Shi Rou'er doesn't have that ex-fiancé in her heart, she will definitely not fall for it.Even if there was, as long as she was smart enough, she would never be fooled.Although I didn't expect such a method to have a certain effect, it was just a preparation for the next rumor method, but this Shi Rou'er dared to come to the door after seeing through it. This kind of courage made Xia Zhen also think it was a shame. I am a little impressed.

"How is the situation tonight, please tell me." Concubine Ni sat down and asked after calming down her anger a little.

"Although Yubi didn't go there, that Mu Qinghan did."

"Hmph, he's a seed of infatuation, but it's a pity that he met such a woman without long-term growth." Concubine Ni said bitterly: "What's the use of him going alone."

"He lingered outside the garden for a long time, and he went much later than agreed in the letter. Seeing that the concubine did not go, the servant had no choice but to put the brocade handkerchief stolen from her palace on the stone bench. Mu Qinghan took the veil, and acted like a treasure, just staring there in a daze. Seeing that the matter has not turned around, the servant didn't look any further, so she will come."

"What's the use of him taking the handkerchief? It's just a brocade handkerchief. Shi Rou'er can justify that he lost it, so it doesn't involve her at all. Could it be that this palace wants to kill a guard in idleness? "Ni Guifei said angrily.

With a sound of "clang", she threw the fan far away with the remaining anger still in her hand.

I don't know when, the fine spring rain enveloped the garden, and the shiny silver threads like ox hair fell from the sky, hitting the branches and leaves, making a soft "rustling" sound, and a layer of water vapor filled the garden.

Mu Qinghan walked out of the garden in a daze.

At this time, there was a faint and inaudible sigh from beside him, he suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and saw a figure like a moonflower came into view.

Su Mi is wearing a light-colored spring shirt with emerald green and silver flowers. The long skirt flows lightly on the ground like the brilliance of snow and moonlight. Her long black hair slides down the graceful arc of her neck like a waterfall. The emerald earrings hang quietly beside the soft and fair ears, and the lotus forehead ornament carved with jasper at the center of the eyebrows glows elegantly under the moonlight.

She suddenly appeared in this cold rainy night, standing gracefully and overwhelmed, like a delicate magnolia flower blooming in the cold water of the Bitan.

Bullying Shuang Saixue's wrist was lined with an ebony umbrella handle, and a delicate Suzhou paper umbrella propped up a clean area for her in the slightly cold drizzle.

Looking through the rain curtain, Mu Qinghan was amazed for a moment, thinking that the fairy in the forest stepped into the mortal world when the night rain was hazy. The sound of "rustling" raindrops enveloped a strange tranquility, but in this peaceful environment, Mu Qinghan heard a clear and distant crisp sound like pearls and jade colliding.

Originally, with Mu Qinghan's martial arts, he should have sensed that someone was approaching, but at this moment, he was so distracted that he didn't notice Su Mi standing in front of him until he walked up to him.

Why is she here?Where did she come from?Doubts lingered in Mu Qinghan's heart, but the superficial etiquette was not lacking. He quickly lowered his head and knelt down on one knee and said, "I've seen Lian Jieyu in a humble way."

"The weather is slightly cold, I wonder why Guard Mu is here?" Su Mi asked lightly.The voice came to Mu Qinghan's ears, it was as light and clear as the jasper ears hanging beside her ears.

"I was ordered to inspect the safety of the garden here. It's my duty to disturb Empress Jieyu." Mu Qinghan replied, but she began to feel uneasy in her heart. When did she come here?

"So it's the official office," Su Mi smiled, and said, "Guard Mu has worked hard, please don't be too polite, I just passed by here, and I'm going back soon."

As Su Mi spoke, she didn't turn around at all.

Mu Qinghan was wondering, Su Mi smiled lightly, and continued: "When I was visiting the garden just now, I accidentally left a brocade handkerchief in the garden. Since the guard Mu has already patrolled, I wonder if he saw it?"

There was a "boom" in Mu Qinghan's mind, and the figure kneeling on the ground couldn't help shaking, did she see it? !what to do?
The drizzle all over the sky suddenly seemed to be frozen in the air at this moment, and a dull depression rose between the two of them.

"I heard that Mu Huwei's mother is still ill, how is Lingtang's condition?" Su Mi asked leisurely.

Su Mi suddenly changed the subject, and Mu Qinghan was caught off guard, "My mother is fine, she has been resting in bed recently, and her condition has recovered a lot."

"Old people are most afraid of mood swings. As long as Mu Huwei is going smoothly in the palace, her condition will not worsen if she takes care of herself calmly. She is afraid that her beloved son will suffer unreasonable disasters, so she is worried for no reason." Su Mi laughed: "Mu Huwei thinks Is what I said reasonable?"

Mu Qinghan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he couldn't understand the meaning of Su Mi's words.

"Mu Huwei is a smart person, so he should know that some things that shouldn't exist may become evidence of a heinous crime at some point, so it's better not to keep irrelevant things."

Mu Qinghan's body trembled, and the brocade handkerchief exuding a faint fragrance of powder in her arms suddenly became hot.

"This Fang Jinpa is very fond of this palace. I must have picked it up when the guards patrolled the garden just now. It is better to return it to this palace so that I can get out in time." Su Mi's voice was full of temptation and almost bewitching. sweet.

"Yes..." Mu Qinghan replied with a slightly trembling voice, took out the light yellow brocade handkerchief from her bosom, and offered it with both hands.

Su Mi stretched out her hand and took the splendid brocade,

Mu Qinghan raised her head slightly, Su Mi's slender and fair fingers were like spring onions, and her round nails neither wore the gold and jade armor sets that are popular among concubines nowadays, nor did she use any powder or paint. Shines like pearls.

His hands couldn't help trembling, and he almost couldn't hold the brocade handkerchief that was as soft as goose feathers.

Su Mi's fingers moved slightly, and the goose-yellow splendor slipped into those slender fingers like flowing water.Mu Qinghan lowered her head.

Su Mi turned around and walked away, and the light voice came with the wind, "Since Mu Huwei has extraordinary talents, he will surely have a great day in the future, why bother to stick to these trivial details, and can't see it. Can't let it go? People underestimate it for no reason."

That blue figure disappeared into the depths of the flowers and trees, the light voice still lingered in her ears, the lingering lingering under the hazy spring rain was endless, Mu Qinghan knelt there on one knee, delicately The rain soaked his clothes, until a gust of cold wind blew, and he woke up suddenly.

He didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he wanted to stand up, but he felt sore in his knees, staggered, and almost fell, he walked slowly to stabilize his figure.

The rain did not know when it stopped, the bleakness and darkness of the distant sky gradually faded, and the light rose from the horizon. Before he knew it, it was almost dawn. He was amazed that he kept his posture like that. Kneeling most of the night.

Mu Qinghan looked at the alternation of morning and night in the distance, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart. It turns out that she looks the best in green clothes... He thought in a daze.
