The night engulfed the vast sky in the Palace.
The faint watch drum sounded in the endless palace crossing road, bringing some hope and comfort to the dawn for sleepless people.
The Jingyang Palace, which had been noisy all day, had been quiet for a long time.
"Zhiqi, come here quickly—"
Gu Yunxi suddenly lifted the window curtain and made a low urgent call.
Zhiqi raised the curtain, "Master, I'm here."
Zhiqi took the initiative to stay on duty for the night today.
She knew that her master took the secret medicine to get "smallpox".
Therefore, she must keep guarding her master at all levels. In case of any unexpected situation, she, as an insider, could take care of her.
At a glance, Zhiqi saw that Gu Yunxi was full of blood on her hands, "Ah! Master…"
"Shhh, just a wound. Bring the bandage."
Gu Yunxi frowned due to the pain. She gritt
At dawn, the little eunuch on the night watch shouted in the courtyard, "Who put this stuff here? I almost tripped over it!"Hearing that, Zhiqi came out of the main hall."What are you doing? Her Grace is still asleep. Can't you be a little bit quieter?""Here, take a look!"The little eunuch threw the bamboo basket into Zhiqi's arms and rubbed his sour back neck, replying crossly, "That's odd. I've been guarding under the window all night. Why didn't I see any thieves entering our palace?""..."Zhiqi put her hand into the basket with puzzlement and groped carefully so as to avoid the sharp thorns on the stem of the wild roses inside.Suddenly, something came into her mind. The look in her eyes changed slightly. She slowly smiled, saying to the little eunuch, "Oh, I was the one who left it here. I went to the kitchen and I almost forgot it. Thank you!"With this, she carr
Time flied and passed day after day. It was as ordinary as a light wind sliding through your fingertips.It was now July.Recently, more than 20 jars of lotus in Miaoyin Hall were in full bloom. While it was not so hot in the morning, Noble Concubine Hui Shi Yuanqing invited concubines to visit lotus in her palace.Miaoyin Hall had exquisite architectural design and elegant layout. Although it was not as luxurious as Kunning Palace or Jingyang Palace, it was also bright and broad.The lotus in the yard was not like the flowers in an ordinary lotus pond. The diameter of the lotus was only the diameter of the rice bowl. There was vermilion, light pink, light yellow and white, surrounded by overlapping petals, as light as yarn.Palm-sized lotus leaves were eye-catching, like a girl's skirt.Maybe the lotus had a soul. It knew that many people who loved flowers would come to enjoy it. At one time, it bloomed a
When Dong Zhu learned that she didn't have to stay in the Jingyang Palace to work, she was so happy that she was almost flying, and she was so stupid that she showed such a happy expression on her face in public.She left with seven other eunuchs and maids in addition to eunuch Che.These mercenary people happily ran back to their rooms, quickly packed up their luggage, and ran to Eunuch Superintendent Liang Zhen, looking forward to better work waiting for them.Surprisingly, at the next moment, their fates were to wash pants in the laundry or brush the toilet in the bathroom.After dismissing the people in the Palace of fire fates, Huanan Xin could not bear the pain of missing. Ignoring the dissuasion of the imperial doctor, he covered his face with a white cloth and stepped into the Main Hall of the Jingyang Palace quickly.The appearance of Gu Yunxi in the bedroom frightened him.They hadn't seen them f
Gu Yunxi's carriage went all the way out of the Palace to the southwest suburbs. After noon, it entered the mountain road with pine and cypress trees.They heard the bell ringing from a distance. Master Huichan, the Chief Abbot, personally led the disciples to meet them in front of the mountain gate.The Honour Guards were only responsible for sending them to their destination. When the task was completed, they went down the mountain without looking back.Considering that Gu Yunxi was ill, the monks carried her in a soft sedan chair, bypassed the main hall and several side halls, and came to a unique courtyard through the Full Moon Gate.In the main room, there were beds, tables and chairs, cabinets and bookshelves, with simple and elegant furnishings.A long wooden table was set on the north wall for incense burner and Buddha niche.In the niche, the golden body Avalokitesvara held a clean bottle w
"Bingbi? Lord Bingbi, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again." Zhuo was so frightened that his face was pale as paper. He had never expected that he would get into trouble when he tried to help his friend.He was skinny and had no Kungfu or internal strength to protect himself. He wouldn’t survive the punishment of being beat 12 times by a stick, let alone 20 times!Zhuo was afraid and wronged. He was howling, struggling, and begging for mercy, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me. Lord Xi, please help me!"Jingle was anxious and angry. She rushed to the door and stretched out her arms to block their way, "Wait. I forced him to take off the official suit of the Imperial Ceremony Office. Do me a favor and let him go. I will reward you!"Leshuang's deep and cold eyes changed slightly, and he tilted his head to look at the girl with interest.Although this girl was mischievous, she was still right
“Your Highness, you shouldn’t blame my master!" Zhiqi saw her master once again being misunderstood by her beloved man, and this misunderstanding was caused by her improper handling of things. She couldn't help feeling sad, and said in tears, "Your Highness, Her Highness did this all for...""Shut up!" Gu Yunxi screamed and interrupted her. Tears slowly flowed from her eyes, "I will tell His Highness myself. You can go out."Zhiqi bowed and left.Today it happened so suddenly. Even Gu Yunxi and Gu Di had been planning to meet Huanan He after leaving the Palace, but no one had expected a situation like this moment.Zhiqi just had an impulse and wanted to tell the whole truth.However, Gu Yunxi considered that her husband's memory had not yet recovered, and a quick success might be counterproductive, so she asked her maid to leave.The meditation room was exceptionally quiet.Huanan He paced bac
In the Imperial Ceremony Office, Leshuang was reading documents under the brightly lit candle.A eunuch walked in at a fast pace and whispered something in Bingbi's ear.Leshuang changed his look when he heard what was whispered. His beautiful face, wearing light makeup, seemed to be covered with a piece of thin ice under the swaying candlelight, making people's flesh creep.He quietly put down the writing brush and suddenly walked out of the office....It was in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion in Jing City.Cowering on the red sandalwood-made rose chair, Commandery Princess Jingle drowsily held her face with her hand.During the noon break, she put on Xi's official suit and hat, pretending to be a eunuch to sneak out of the Palace for her Ninth Uncle, Huanan He.When she reached the mansion, she found out that the Ninth Prince was not there.The mansion manager had tight
It was a dark night. The humid air enveloped the staggered and undulating eaves.From a distance, the street was long and quiet as if it had been an endless fairyland.The sound of thunder was faint and it was about to rain.As Huanan He spurred his horse to go back to his mansion, he was suddenly stopped by a man in black at the entrance of the alley.The horse was startled and neighed, stepping in place with its four hooves. It turned back and forth, keeping snorting.Huanan He grasped the reins more tightly, glancing at the man in black angrily.He shouted, "Bad thief! I'm the Prince, and how dare you rob me?""Your Highness, I have something important to tell you," said that man."The man's voice sounds familiar," thought Huanan He."You... You're the man that night..." said Huanan He.After successfully pacifying his horse, Huanan He sitting on the b
