deep palace co

Chapter 22
The Ancestral Temple is located in the suburbs, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and receives water on the other. It is a treasure of Fengshui.The underground palace is the coffin of the emperors of all dynasties, while the surface is a temple-style palace, which displays the tablets of the ancestors of the Feng family. The whole building is built on a hillside facing south, all of which are made of blue bricks and gray tiles. The style of the temple is simple but also luxurious. At the foot of the mountain, a Taimiao courtyard was built for rest.

Because the Ancestral Temple is not far from the capital, and the place is large, the facilities in this other courtyard are good, especially now that the emperor is coming to celebrate the New Year, and they have already sent someone to clean it up, so after entering the other courtyard There is no sense of depression.

Because tomorrow is going up to the mountain to offer sacrifices, Feng Yifan, Xing Lan and the other ministers all had to take a bath and fast that night. After the fast, everyone who had nothing to do would kneel down. However, Feng Yifan I can't rest yet. There are some details of the sacrificial ceremony that need to be explained again. There are also some memorials that I have brought over and I have to read them. Although people are not in the palace, political affairs still cannot be left behind.

In fact, Xing Lan had already noticed Feng Yifan's estrangement, and she also thought of why, so when the emperor chased her away, although she was sad, she was prepared, but she hated Su Ho so much that her teeth were itching. Yes, but, he never showed it again. When he saw Su Ho standing outside at the door, a calculating light flashed in his eyes, and he walked up to her on his own initiative.

"My maidservant, see the Empress." Su Ho saw Xing Lan walking towards him, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Get up." Xing Lan hastily stretched out her hand, and actually helped her up herself, "It's so cold, the ground is so cold, so you can skip kneeling."

"Thank you, Empress." Su Ho got up, originally thought that she would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, she had no intention of leaving at all, and it was clear in her heart that she wanted to chat with her.

Sure enough, Xing Lan looked at Su Ho with a harmless smile: "This place is no better than the palace, and you don't need to be so cautious."

Su Ho hurriedly bent over.

"The emperor is now discussing the details of tomorrow's sacrifice with the sacrificial officer. You don't need to go in to serve for the time being. Come and talk to me." Xing Lan turned and walked forward slowly.

Su Ho's lips curled up slightly, and he had no choice but to follow slowly. In fact, she and she still had a lot to say, but, it's not the time to talk thoroughly yet.

"Hey." Xing Lan suddenly sighed, "Are you still blaming me for what happened last time?" She didn't even call herself "Ben Gong".

"I don't dare." Su Ho hastily knelt down. This is another co-option policy, right?It's just that this trick didn't work for her.

"I told you not to kneel." Xing Lan pulled her up again, but she didn't let go of her hand after the first time, "You have been in the palace for a while, you should know that the women in the palace look glamorous, It's really helpless..."

Su Ho let her pull him, but he bent his body respectfully, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, but he was thinking about what she would say next?Do you want to say that it was purely the idea of ​​the servant Xiangzhuer?

"You are beautiful." Xing Lan unexpectedly did not shirk, "The first time I saw you, I was among a group of show girls. Although there were many show girls and they were all beautiful, but, I But I can notice you at a glance..." He said with a wry smile, "Although I am a queen, I am actually extremely disturbed. I wait and hope that the emperor will come once every day, but the women in the harem are one by one. Come on, how can I get on? However, I am not afraid, because the emperor does not have them in his heart, but you are different. When I see the emperor looking at you, his eyes are bright... Think about it , I can notice you, how could the emperor as a man not notice?"

Su Ho was surprised. She was surprised by Xing Lan's confession. It's just that she knows this woman too well. If she treats you well, it will definitely make you unlucky. Therefore, although there is nothing on the face, the corners of the mouth are It's a sarcastic laugh.

"Later you went to the Huanyi Bureau, I was relieved." Xing Lan smiled self-deprecatingly, "But, it's only been a few months, the emperor has transferred you to his side at once... So, I am not calm anymore, I want to show you off, so that you will retreat in the face of difficulties, and then you will come to beg me..." The expression was abnormally sad, "It's a pity..." But things backfired.

"Empress." Su Ho felt that she really didn't want to listen any more, no matter whether her words were sincere or not, she didn't intend to take them to heart, "You don't need to tell your servants these things. , slaves are serving people, so slaves will do whatever the master arranges, besides, you are a queen, so there is no need to talk about this with a slave, it is only natural for a master to teach a slave..." Said and saluted slightly , "Your servant will leave." After speaking, he bowed and left.

Xing Lan looked at Su Ho's leaving back, clenched her fists tightly in anger, and the veins on her forehead were about to pop out. She is a queen, and she was indifferent when talking to her so heart-to-heart. No wonder she wasn't angry. .

"Your Majesty." Xiang Zhui'er, who had been standing not far away, saw Su Ho leaving, hurried over, and frowned at Su Ho's back: "This woman really doesn't know what to do."

"Hmph." Xing Lan snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter, does she really think the emperor likes her?" Lian Er was the emperor's favorite back then, but what happened?Didn't it end with hatred?Now, would she really be afraid of such a court lady?

Seeing the cold light in Xing Lan's eyes, Xiang Zhui'er couldn't help shivering.

Su Ho walked to the porch of the main house, and then stopped and turned back, looking at Xing Lan's back slightly curled his lips, Xing Lan, I will pay for some debts with interest.

At this moment, Gao Sihai came out from the inside, looked at Su Ho standing at the door, and sighed slightly: "Why are you still here? The emperor has already rested, you should go back and rest too." At that time, the emperor was still in the same car with her, why doesn't he seem to care about it now?It is estimated that this woman has angered the emperor again.

Su Ho was slightly stunned, but then nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao." Then he turned and walked towards the lower courtyard next door.

Gao Sihai glanced at Su Ho's back, curled his lips helplessly, then turned and went back.

Because Su Ho is a person close to the emperor, the accommodation is also better than other servants. It is a separate hut. Although it is simple, it does not need to be crowded with others, and it is considered clean. It looks cool.

"Has sister rested yet?" Just as Su Ho waited, there was a knock on the door.

"No." Su Ho opened the door, but saw Anshun and several eunuchs standing outside the door, saw Su Ho came out and hurriedly saluted, "Godfather asked a slave to bring hot water and a brazier to sister."

"Thank you." Su Ho was overjoyed, just now he was thinking about how to wash up, but he didn't expect Gao Sihai to even think about her, so he was grateful in his heart.

"The slave will keep watch tonight." After putting down the things, Anshun looked at Su Ho and smiled slightly, "If my sister finishes washing, just go to the gate of the yard and let the slave know." Then she retreated.

With the brazier and a large bucket of steaming hot water, the room became warm all of a sudden. Suho tried the temperature of the water. Just in time, he hurriedly took off his clothes and sat in the carriage for several hours. , I was tired and exhausted a long time ago, after soaking in hot water, I finally couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh, and then leaned against the wooden barrel and closed my eyes.

After taking a bath, Su Ho changed his clothes again and went out to call Anshun. After the eunuchs came and took away the bathtub in the room, he closed the door again. However, the moment he turned around, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, the corners of his eyes slightly Lifting and sweeping the roof beams, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, then he took off his coat straight away, turned off the light and went to bed.

Not long after, a person fell lightly from the roof beam.

"I thought you would stay on the roof overnight." Suho suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at the man in black standing in front of the bed through the moonlight coming in through the window, "I just don't know Tang Tang When did the killer leader learn to be a gentleman on the beam?"

"No way, who made you the emperor's celebrity?" Wuqing shrugged innocently, and went to sit on the edge of the bed, "It's too difficult to see you... But, how do you know it's me?" As he spoke, he tore off the black scarf on his face.

"Feeling." Su Ho smiled lightly, this can be regarded as a kind of talent.

Wuqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, and suddenly moved his face forward, and sniffed twice vigorously: "It smells so good, but it's a pity that I came a step late, and I didn't see the beauty out of the bath..." The tone was very naughty.

"You should be glad you didn't see it, otherwise, you would never see it..."

"Are you willing?" Wuqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You can try..."

"Hey, I'm so sad..." Wuqing suddenly covered his chest as if he was hurt, "I've been thinking about you for so many days..." There was a cold light coming in from the window, which just fell on Wuqing's face , It actually made his resolute face hazy and soft.

Su Ho couldn't help sighing, the aura exuding from this person was cold, and the first time she felt it was also cold, but this was only the second meeting, and it completely overturned her opinion, although She is still cold in her bones, but there is a touch of stubbornness, and she does not reject this kind of teasing, but still has a very relaxed feeling, which really makes her feel incredible, but she can only sigh, the relationship between people The feeling is really amazing.

"Do you feel touched?" The ruthless smile became brighter and brighter.

"No." Su Ho pouted, "I was just thinking that rumors in the world are really unreliable."

"Huh?" Wuqing obviously didn't react for a while.

"It is rumored that the master of the Baisha Pavilion is ruthless and never refuses to speak and laugh, but..." Su Ho said, stretching out his hand to brush the hair next to his ear, "I see Wuqing with a cynical face, a complete playboy's look." It looks like..." He raised his eyes and looked at Wu Qing, "Are you saying that the rumors are false or what I saw is a fake?"

"It's all true." Ruthless also looked directly at Su Ho, "It's just a different way of treating different people..." As he spoke, he winked at her charmingly, "It's just that a court lady still Understand the affairs of Jianghu... Is this really a court lady?"

However, Su Ho laughed and laughed: "Did anyone tell you that your sharp-edged face is really not suitable for difficult technical movements such as winking or affectionate? Maybe it looks very ugly." It's like a cramp in the face..."

The corner of the ruthless mouth twitched immediately, and he sat up straight in frustration: "It's a waste of emotion."

Su Ho couldn't help but smiled, and then restrained his smile: "This is not where you can stay for long... Or the same sentence, Feng Yifan is not something you can kill..."

"I know." Wuqing also put away the dishonesty just now, "I have already canceled the transaction, this time, it is entirely for you..."

Su Ho frowned slightly.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Wu Qing suddenly grabbed Su Ho's hand, her star-like eyes were shining brightly.

Su Ho couldn't help trembling slightly, pulled his hand back forcefully, and his face became serious: "Don't fall in love with me, I'm a person with no future... Besides, my love died long ago ..."

"It's okay." He smiled ruthlessly but indifferently, "Live now without a future... Your love is dead, but mine is alive..." After finishing speaking, he unexpectedly kissed Su Ho on the cheek , and then jumped away.

Su Ho was a little dazed while covering the cheek that was kissed. After a long time, she sighed leisurely and smiled bitterly. She had no intention of provoking others. She was tired of feelings in her previous life. Could it be that she still can't escape such a fate in this life?
She doesn't want to be let down, and likewise, she doesn't want to let others down either. To be let down and to be let down is actually a kind of torture.
