Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I was standing at her door for a long time, and even the doorkeepers outside were surprised and looked inside with a probe. I thought about it, and slowly walked out. As soon as I got to the door, I saw them standing upright and nodding to me: "Miss."

I stopped and said, "You immediately ask the kitchen to make a calming soup for the old lady."

The gatekeepers were a little puzzled: "It's so late, does the old lady drink soup?"

I frowned: "Did you see the old lady's room light up all night? How can the old man stay up so late? How can she stand? Why don't you persuade me?"

Listening to my string of firecrackers, I had to ask questions, and the gatekeepers were stunned. I never expected that I would have a sudden attack.

I said coldly, "Do you guys, just do a little bit of work?"

"This--"

"If the old lady's body is bad, can you have a good life?"

Although my relationship with Xue Yan is well-known to the Yan family, now that I am so "righteous and strict", these subordinates have nothing to say, and they hurriedly promised that someone would continue to prepare.

I glanced back at the flickering candlelight in the room, turned around and walked out.

However, I did not return to my room.

The night was still deep like a dark curtain. I followed the lights under the corridor, and after a while, I walked outside Yan Qingchen's residence. When the gatekeeper saw me coming in the middle of the night, they were startled, and hurried forward Asked, "Miss, why are you here so late?"

I said, "I've come to the house owner to discuss something."

"This--"

The man was a little hesitant. Immediately, a maid came out from the side to serve Yan Qingchen. She came to me to salute and said gently, "Miss, what's the matter in the middle of the night? Can't you talk to the owner tomorrow? "

I said, "No, I'll see him now."

"But the owner gave the needle only during the day and needs to rest."

"..."

"Miss you to bother him now, just because the owner's body is-"

Her words were sincere, if I would n’t come here in the middle of the night to make them embarrassed, but at this moment I was so ironed that I must see Yan Qingchen, talking to them, and I heard a message from the room Suo Suo's voice, and then Yan Qingchen said in it, "Is this your sister?"

I hurried: "Light dust, it's me!"

As soon as he was awake, a few of us hurried in, the maid went to light the candlestick in the room, and saw Yan Qingchen's pale face, wearing a close-fitting coat, trying to support himself to sit up. He He looked up at me with a smile on his face: "Sister."

As soon as I saw his face, I felt a little distressed, and for a moment I didn't speak, the maid had stepped forward: "Homeowner--"

Yan Qingchen glanced at her, and then turned his head and instructed the attendant: "Pull her down with a staff of thirty, and drive out of the Yan family, never hired."

When the maid heard it, she stunned and fell to her knees, and I was stupid: "Why?"

He didn't explain it at all, and the servants around him didn't ask much. He just dragged the maid out and went out. The maid was crying for mercy, and Yan Qingchen gave her a cold look: Fifty rods! "

This time, she did not dare to cry, and was dragged out.

I was standing by his bed, who was going to talk to him, and was stunned by this, watching as another attendant came forward to pull the door from the outside, and I looked back at him again: " How come you for no reason-- "

"Not for no reason."

He fiddled with the thin quilt on his body and said coldly: "Now everyone knows what's going on in the house. It is important that my sister come to me late at night, otherwise you won't come; She dared to keep her sister out of my door, and the following offenses are even more important. The punishment like mine has been lightened. "

As he said this, I couldn't say anything more.

Then Yan Qingchen looked up at me: "So, what's the matter with my sister?"

I went back to God, walked over to the edge of the bed, and lowered my voice to tell him what happened today. Yan Qingchen listened to my words, his face became more and more ugly, his brows tightened. When he heard me finally said Xue Yan When he had asked Pei Yuanxiu to go directly to Yan Yan, he said fiercely: "I should let them blame her for fifty!"

Indeed, if this matter could not be told to him overnight, we could work out a solution, even if the maid was killed, it would not be possible to save the situation.

I hurriedly said, "Don't worry about anger first, we have to think of a way!"

Yan Qingchen frowned.

I said, "I've been away from Xichuan for too long, and I don't know much about Wushugong. I don't think. If Pei Yuanxiu really goes to him, how likely is he to be told?"

Yan Qingchen almost didn't want to, and said, "You don't need to talk at all."

"what?"

"Pei Yuanxiu is very smart. If he meets Wu Shugong, he will know who the other person is in three or two sentences."

"..."

"He doesn't have to talk to him at all, just stir it up."

"What do you mean?"

Yan Qingchen's eyes shone a bit coldly: "Who is Uncle Wu, maybe we don't necessarily know, but I can understand his attitude about this matter now."

"why?"

"He asked Yan Zicong and Yan Ruoyu to come ahead of time, and he was on the road, and he said that he wanted to participate in this matter. With his status and status, would he want to participate in one thing, wouldn't he know it in advance?

"..."

"Now that he has found out clearly, then he is sending someone over, and the meaning is clear."

I said, "Will he not stand on our side?"

Yan Qingchen sneered: "On our side, the most direct way is not to participate."

"..."

This time, I have nothing to say.

Although Yan Qingchen's remarks were sharp, they were all right. They could see the whole leopard at a glance. It was indeed possible to judge his attitude by asking Yan Zicong to come over from Yan.

It's no wonder Xue Ye will let Pei Yuanxiu meet him halfway.

This makes the problem more difficult.

I just felt a headache: "What now? I can't just sit there and wait."

Yan Qingchen only thought for a moment, then looked up at me: "What is your sister's plan?"

I thought about it, and then said, "If the old lady has already thought about using Wushu to pressure you, what I can think of at present is to find someone who is similar to Wushu's seniority, or who can beat him. people."

Yan Qingchen glanced at me: "Aunt?"

"..."

Although I raised the topic, I also feel ridiculous.

In fact, the grandfather of their generation is still alive. In addition to the five uncles, Yan Yan, there is one who may be alive, that is, the old Miss Yan family at that time, the grandfather and their elder sister-Yan Yi.

However, this aunt seemed to leave the Yan family at a very young age, and she did n’t know whether she was married or for any reason. I have never heard of her at the Yan family for decades. I have grown up and heard people mention her. You can count all five fingers.

Yan Qingchen shook his head: "Where is she now, whether she is dead or alive, how can she be found for a while?"

I was also discouraged suddenly: "Then, can there still be such a person?"

Yan Qingchen thought about it and nodded almost immediately: "Yes."

As soon as I heard it, I asked, "Who?"

He said: "You know, this time the mother will summon everyone to the ancestral temple, and of course there are people who are always guarding the ancestral temple."

I nodded, it was natural. Nishikawa retains many customs from ancient times to the present day, including that the ancestral halls of all large families will not be built where the main family house is located, but will be built where the family rises. Although the family does not live there, they will Hire some guards. The caretaker's long-term residence and continuous proliferation, over time, often form another large family, the entire family of people are the guardians of this family ancestral temple.

Yan Qingchen asked me, "Do you know who the guard is?"

I shook my head.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing will not tell my daughter at home. I do n’t even have the qualification to enter the shrine. Since Yan Qingchen inherited the owner, he naturally told him.

He said: "It's the people around Grandpa who guard the shrine."

"Grandpa ..."

As soon as I heard it, my spirits refreshed.

The people around Grandpa are older and older than Wu Shugong.

Although the identity of that person is only a servant around Grandpa, there are such unwritten rules in the big family. The servants around the elders have a higher status than the young master. When they are there, even the young master Have to respect three points.

If this is the case, then we may still have a glimmer of hope.

Yan Qingchen said: "In fact, I originally wanted to let people go to the ancestral temple to prepare in advance. No matter what the five uncles came to say, in the end, it was impossible to solve this matter."

As soon as I heard it, I understood: "You want to--"

He nodded silently.

I couldn't help sighing, thinking that he couldn't get out of bed these days and couldn't do anything. I didn't expect that even if he got sick, he wouldn't relax at all.

He said, "If that's the case, then it's better to--"

Before he finished speaking, I rushed and said, "It's too late tomorrow."

"...!" Yan Qingchen stared at me with wide eyes.

I said, "I counted Pei Yuanxiu's footsteps. Yan Ruoyu said that Wu Shugong was almost two days behind them. If Pei Yuanxiu was added to incite, I guess they would arrive no later than noon tomorrow."

Yan Qingchen looked at me: "What do you mean--"

I said, "I'm leaving now."

"right now?"

"Yes, now," although it was only a decision made by the electric light fire, but at this moment I calmed down and said, "I just let the old lady give the old lady a decoction of the past, and she stayed up all night. Wake up at noon tomorrow. I'm leaving now and no one can catch up with me. "
