Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

At noon, I went to find her. She had just cleaned it up, and Ling Ling might not have been able to endure it all night. At this time, she fell asleep on the stone bed uncomfortably, and when she saw me, Ye Yunshuang hurriedly "Miss, what's the matter?"

I tentatively said, "Your Majesty is not here?"

She shook her head: "Your Majesty seems to be talking about something."

It seems that Pei Yuanzhang already knew about Charin's waking up and immediately went to find him. I looked at Princess Ling. Although I didn't sleep well, I still slept because of drowsiness, so I said softly, "I have something to ask you. If it's convenient, go to my room. . "

Ye Yunshuang hesitated, and looked at Princess Ling, and said, "Yes."

She followed me to my room. Su Su sent two cups of hot water and immediately exited and closed the door. I knew she was guarding the door, and she greeted Ye Yunshuang to sit at the table, her expression was a little bit Anxiously asked, "Miss, come to me, do you have anything to tell me?"

It turned out that she was still worried that I would use her as a tool, no wonder her expression was tense.

I smiled and said, "You can rest assured that I have nothing to do with you, just something I want to ask you."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "What does the young lady want to know? I've already found out and told the young lady."

"You said before that what you found in the palace was just trivial things, theft, murder."

"Yes."

"I have asked about the killing, and now I want to ask about the theft."

"Stolen?"

Ye Yunshuang raised his willow-like eyebrows slightly and looked at me in amazement, as if he didn't understand why I was suddenly interested in this, and said, "Why did Miss suddenly ask this?"

I said, "Tell me first, what was the case?"

"..." She glanced at me again in surprise, then lowered her head to think for a while, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with what I want to check, and it has been decades, Gong. The people in it have changed several batches, so there are fewer news to be heard. I just heard vaguely that something in the cabinet was stolen. "

"Cabinet?"

"That's right. I heard that the Cabinet did not just store books, but also some important documents in the palace, or some wills that could not be publicized. They would be stored there."

"Then what you said was stolen in this stolen case?"

"It doesn't seem to be a document or a decree, but a picture."

"..."

I just felt my heart beating: "A picture? What picture?"

"This, no one knows the details. Just know that after that thing, some things in the cabinet were taken away, and then only some precious books were stored there."

I know that because there I have been there for many years.

And I now understand that the stolen case was indeed made by the mother, and the drawing she had taken was stolen from the cabinet.

I finally managed to smooth my breath and heartbeat, and asked, "What about later?"

"Later?" Ye Yunshuang thought for a while and said, "It seems nothing is wrong. The reason why this case was remembered was that the things in the cabinet were not as important as before, but it was a little strange. Yes, but I haven't heard of any follow-up actions. It seems to be Huang—the emperor did something from it, and this matter is gone. "

It's Pei Ji ...

This is conceivable. If someone stole the picture, I am afraid that the court will send many people to hunt for it, but-because it was taken by the mother, and it is very likely that Pei Ji knew it was hers. She sheltered her and did not pursue it.

Ye Yunshuang looked at me with his head tilted: "Miss, what do you ask this for?"

I went back and looked at her inquiring gaze and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking, you haven't found out the important decision of the imperial court that year, can you think of something else? Looking at it now, it's just that some cases of theft and homicide seem to have nothing to do with major decisions. "

She nodded: "Yeah, these things are just trivial matters in the harem. Now there are few people remembering them."

In order to prevent her from being suspicious, I chatted with her again, and asked Yao Lao and Queen Yin by the way: "The two old people are all right?"

"It's okay, the emperor specially sent someone to look after them."

"Then, that Mo Tieyi from the village chief, did he wake up?"

"He's not awake, but--"

"But what?"

"However, the medicine is always on his side. He used the medicine himself and should wake up soon."

"Oh, all right."

There were two more gossips, and it didn't matter. She still remembered Ling Ling, so she left first. I sat at the table with the same movement as before, and seemed to be calm, but my heart had actually lifted a thousand. Layers of waves.

From Ye Yunshuang's words, I can already be sure that the drawing in the mother's hand was stolen from the palace. Pei Ji apparently knew this, but because it was her sake, I didn't delve into it.

but--

Why is there such a drawing in the palace?

A huge mechanical drawing. Someone made this drawing, and it was always designed before it was realized.

What did the court want to achieve?

After thinking about it, I thought that this drawing might be related to Ye Yunshuang's investigation. Some important decisions of the imperial court at that time, because such a large thing on the drawing, in the words of Charin, even if it is as rich as a family, it needs to be exhausted Family property is only possible. Isn't it a major decision for the court?

However, few people can understand the drawing, and because of some of the taboos, not many people know the content on the drawing, plus the theft was deliberately covered by Pei Ji, so stay There was very little information coming down, and Ye Yunshuang didn't delve into it.

It's too late at this time. I heard that Pei Yuanzhen went to see Charin and kept talking about leaving in the evening. When I passed by, Cha Bixing told me that Charin spent a lot of energy and just drank it. After the medicine, he lay down and fell asleep.

I asked a few words of concern, and determined that Charin was okay, and then he felt relieved.

Chabxing looked at me: "Why didn't the young lady ask me, what did the emperor come over to talk to his father?"

I heard it with a faint smile. There was a bit of bitterness in the smile: "What if I ask? Even if I ask, there are some things, I can't stop them."

When he said that, he stopped speaking.

I saw that he had an empty medicine bowl in his hand and asked, saying, "Did you make this medicine yourself?"

"Ok."

"Where's the medicine?"

"Go ask the abbots here. In addition to meditating on alchemy daily, they also make some medicines, but they are not the kind of dog skin plasters that run outside the rivers and lakes. They are quite effective."

"Oh……"

I nodded and glanced out. The rain had stopped for a long time, but the mountains were wet and shady. Until now, the water on the ground had not dried out, and water droplets would drip on the eaves after a while. The sound made this little Taoist temple more silent.

I said, "It's so quiet here. None of the Taoist priests came out. Do they usually do morning and evening classes?"

"No. But this time they didn't really come back."

I said, "Oh, it might be really scared by a large group of us."

Chabixing is not as foolish as Ye Yunshuang. He turned to look at me: "Miss, do you have any opinion on this Taoist temple?"

"..."

I was quiet for a while before I said, "Don't talk about this matter for a while, wait until I figure it out."

He glanced slightly: "Are there really any problems?"

I glanced at him, didn't speak, Chabixin was silent, and then said: "Miss, if you need me, you can come to me at any time. I, although I have less time to return, still have a few days a year I will stay here and be familiar with them. "

I said, "I know. You don't have to think much about it, it's not a big deal, but-don't look for publicity. It's better not to publicize it to him."

When he heard it, I knew that I was referring to Pei Yuanzhang, and he nodded more solemnly.

The sky was getting dark very quickly in the mountains. As soon as the sun went down, the surrounding area was almost invisible. Fortunately, I walked around during the day and quickly became familiar with this Taoist temple. At this time, holding a solitary lantern, I found the daylight soon The alchemy room that I went to has not turned off the light here, and you can hear the light beeps from the fire.

I walked over and knocked gently on the door, and immediately, the door was opened.

The abbot stood at the door and looked at me without surprise: "Miss Yan, you are here again."

I said, "Come on again."

"It's heavy. Miss Yan, please."

He seemed to know where I was coming from, and had been prepared for a long time, so he turned me into the alchemy room. It was cold and humid outside, and it was warm and dry inside. The faint fire in the Dan furnace made the whole room feel warm like spring. I still sat next to the futon, and the abbot came over and sat beside me.

When the two were facing each other, their eyes reflected the red light in the Dan furnace, flashing and flashing, completely different from the temptation during the day.

He must know what I went to inquire about, and I think his effort on this day may be deciding what.

So I first said: "I have a sentence to ask the Chief, if the Chief can answer, I will talk to the Chief next, if the Chief can't answer, then tonight, even if I come in vain . "

He said, "Miss Yan, please."

I looked into his eyes and said earnestly, "You guys, did you come out of Baiyun?"
