Noble Concubine Hui seriously sat on the splendid porch outside Qinming Hall. Despite the thick heatwave in summer, she kept elegant all the time.
After a while, the door moved and sounded. Then some civil officials orderly walked out of the hall, as their steps moved and the well-embroidered hems wobbled.
When Counselor-in-chief Shi passed in her vision, he slightly shifted his eyes. In crafty eyes as quick as the refreshing breeze, he glanced at her delicate and well-dressed face. Then without any hesitation, he followed his colleagues and went to the straight path.
But Noble Concubine Hui understood. Then she waved her soft waist and walked in front of Liang Zhen, the Imperial Chief Eunuch. She softly smiled and said.
"Presumably, there are no other officials in the hall. Please help me to convey a message to His Majesty. Empress Dowager cares about him so that she particularly lets me deliver a bowl of lotus seed and ric
In the Eastern Depot in Jing City, a guard strode into the main hall, saluting in front of the table."Lord, I have led people in searching and checking the rear mountain of Yonglu Temple. The scene has already been cleaned up by someone."Yue Xilou leaned and sat on the chair. When his low eyes slightly trembled, he fiddled with two irony balls in his palm."So, there must be a survival among the assassins last night... Presumably, they have made it."At that time, another guard walked into the hall. He even had no mind to wipe his drenched forehead but directly saluted and reported."Lord, the Ninth Prince Huanan He hasn't come back to his mansion.""..."Yue Xilou appeared to be astonished and widened the casual eyes, in which there was full of clear and complicated emotion.When he slowly stood up and walked with his hands held on the back, he suddenly sighed.
In the meditation room, Master Huichan dressed in a new robe and sat cross-legged on a cattail hassock. He was waiting for Emperor Renxian, Huanan Xin.On one side, Great Warrior Monk stood there like a pagoda, staring at the Chief Abbot who was silently reciting the scriptures. He was about to say something but stopped.In a moment, the old monk stretched his limbs on the cattail hassock. He slowly got up and stood respectfully under the niche for Buddha. He prayed three times to the bodhisattva's gilded image at the top."You and your disciples are not allowed to say much, and you are not allowed to do anything when something happens."Not looking up, Huichan nodded and said.Hearing this, Great Warrior Monk turned his head with a solemn expression, "Why didn't you stop Prince Xian from sending those two people out of the temple?"Huichan looked up at the bodhisattva in the niche who was with a ki
"He?""What's going on? Is the Ninth Prince really here?""We spent all morning going to the temple from the Palace. Where did he come from? Does his horse have wings?""Hey, isn't it obvious? Even fools can see it...""Shhh, my sisters, be careful about your words. Don't make His Majesty unhappy..."The news that Huanan He came to see the Emperor caused a lot of discussion in the crowd.Especially among those concubines, some covered their mouths with embroidered handkerchiefs while others covered their faces with moon-shaped fans. They whispered to each other with vivid expressions.Hearing these words on the side, Commandery Princess Jingle couldn't help but blush and bow her head in shame and indignation.Learning that the Ninth Prince really came to the temple, Shi Yuanqing, Noble Concubine Hui, was frightened. She suddenly opened her bright eyes wide and angrily stare
"Your Grace, I can't understand what you mean." Gu Yunxi said.Hearing that Noble Concubine Hui blamed her, Gu Yunxi felt aggrieved and frowned. With tears in her eyes, Gu Yunxi looked at the Emperor."Your Majesty, what I only hope is to recover from smallpox and to come back to the imperial harem to entertain you. The nigrum fruits that Lord Yue gave me were used up for treatment. Last night, I was itchy, so I went to the back of the temple to look for it." Gu Yunxi said.Gu Yunxi added, "But I came across assassins. Luckily, thanks to God and His Majesty’s blessing, I survived. In order to see His Majesty, I suffered a lot. Your Grace, why do you be so aggressive and slander me in public when I just see His Majesty?"Gu Yunxi pretended to be sad and said that while sobbing. As her tender body fell into the arms of Huanan Xin, he felt heartbroken.Even though Gu Yunxi was slandered by Shi Yuanqing who was jeal
Seeing half of the concubines in the imperial harem kneeling on the ground and pleading for the woman of the Jingyang Palace, Noble Concubine Hui couldn't help raising her eyebrows and looked stunned.She planned to murder the redundant woman. Now that the plan failed, she thought about another trick to slander her ambiguous relationship with Ninth Uncle.Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, it was interrupted by this group of stupid women.How could Noble Concubine Hui be reconciled to her painstaking management that ended in failure?If there was any hope of persuading the Emperor to turn his mind and think seriously, she was willing to try."Your Majesty, there are many doubtful points in the words of that b*tch and the Ninth Prince. You can't believe it, Your Majesty!"The woman held her breath and was still stubborn. She turned to Gu Yunxi with a look of hate and determination. She clench
"Your Majesty..."Gu Yunxi's waxy yellow and decadent face drooped slightly. She was led all the way by the Emperor with trepidation. She was thinking rapidly for a moment."What should I do? What can I do to save the master from danger?" Gu Yunxi thought.Huanan Xin strode with a relaxed expression, holding a melodious tone and commanding the people behind him."Yue Xilou, the assassination case of Lady Yun should be handed over to the Eastern Depot for investigation. Be sure to find out the man who tricked Ninth Uncle into going up the mountain and ask him who was behind it!""Your Majesty, I will follow the order."Yue Xilou walked and answered, bowing his hands and bending his back.He cunningly stirred his eyes to peep at Gu Di, and he smiled darkly."When I get back to the Palace, I'll bother the Ninth Prince to go and recognize it in person when the Imperial Ceremony
It was in Suolan of the western tribes.The hunchbacked old man was hurrying on the road, extremely hard.The weather at the end of July was extremely hot, but his whole body was wrapped tightly by a heavy purple cloak.Sweat was dripping from his face, which was mostly covered by the hood.On his left and right hands were two young children, a boy and a girl. Both of them were about six or seven years old, dressed as people from western tribes and dressed in bright colors. The children's faces were pale and tender, with few expressions and even with a little numbness.The old man kept walking, and the forest path under his feet was not tortuous but seemed to be endless.Without the company of those two children, such an old man who trotted quickly through the silent mountains and forests would really be regarded as a strange and wild ghost.Behind him, the sound of footsteps was gettin
Huanan He swaggered out of the Violent Room of Imperial Ceremony Office and blinked cunningly. He turned to Yue Xilou's stunned handsome face, smiling slightly, "Lord Yue, you asked me to come to identify the criminal. I have already pointed him out for you. Next, it's up to you."Yue Xilou frowned slightly and bowed nervously, “Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding here! This person... He...""Well, that's all."Huanan He smiled and patted Yue Xilou on the chest with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, "I understand. Lord Yue, you run the Eastern Depot. You have always been upright and highly valued by His Majesty. Some people must be jealous of you in the court. If His Majesty asks one day, I will definitely put in a good word for you. But someone is trying to use the Concubine Yun incident to drag you and me down. This is very important. You must look it up.""Yes, Your Highness. Thank you for your suggestion." Yue
