"If the imperial court hadn't suppressed our Xiejiabao like this, why would we have disappeared from the world?" Concubine Jing gradually put away her ferocious face, took a deep look at Yang Yu, who bowed his head and said nothing, then turned around and stood up.
"There is no turning back...if you want to give up now, just leave..."
Her voice dispersed with the wind, but the helpless melancholy in her tone lingered in Yang Yu's heart for a long time.
Early on the next morning, not long after Tong Zhuo, Ma Lin and several others came out of Fengwei Palace, the maids from various palaces were already passing by in the Imperial Garden, and they all nodded and saluted when they saw him.
"Have you heard? Eunuch Cao sent people to clean Liuyun Palace today, saying it was the emperor's order." A palace maid hurriedly covered her mouth and said as she passed by them.
He thought he spoke very quietly, but Tong Zhuo, who had sharp ears, still heard him.
"What's so strange about this? After Concubine Yang is gone, there will still be Concubine Li and Concubine Liu... It's just a word from the emperor." Another palace maid chuckled softly, "Is it possible that you still want Concubine Bu Yang?
Follow in the footsteps?”
"Fuck you!" the palace maid said coquettishly, "I just thought that Yang Fei was not even over seven years old, and I don't know what bold new master would live in her palace. I was so scared just thinking about it. I would definitely kill him if he did.
I don't even want to go, for fear of being strangled to death by her at night..."
As he spoke, he gestured vividly on his neck. When Ma Lin turned around, he happened to see this scene and couldn't help laughing. Tong Zhuo always had a calm face, but his pupils shrank unnoticeably.
"I don't know how many people in this palace want to live in Liuyun Palace in their dreams. How do you care about this?" Another palace maid was just halfway through her sentence when she noticed someone looking over her from the corner of her eye. She quickly lowered her head and pulled her over and whispered.
He said, "Chief Tong heard this, let's go quickly."
Seeing them trotting away, Ma Lin slowly turned back and said softly with a smile on his face: "By the way, Chief Tong, don't we need to go to the Queen Mother's place? Should we start from the Queen Mother's Fengwei Palace?"
Since being lectured last time, Marin has never talked about the affairs of his masters, even though he likes to hear people talk about the secrets and gossip in the palace when he is bored.
"It's not our turn to investigate the Queen Mother's place," Tong Zhuo was silent for a moment and said solemnly, "Let's go to Chengxi Palace."
"Chengxi Palace?" Ma Lin paused for a moment, then patted the back of his head and said with a smile, "Chengxi Palace is probably even 'cleaner' than the Queen's Fengwei Palace..."
Tong Zhuo just glanced at him lightly and said nothing. The way Ma Lin looked at him knew that he was talking too much again, so he immediately closed his mouth and made a sealing gesture, fearing that he would show up in front of so many brothers.
Keep yourself from getting off the stage.
Concubine Jing likes to be quiet, which is exactly the opposite of the other concubines in the palace, so she chose Chengxi Palace, which is the farthest away from Qiankun Palace. There are large green bamboos planted around the palace, and the hibiscus flowers are in full bloom, complementing the green bamboos.
, it looks like a paradise from a distance.
"Is Chief Tong here?" Concubine Jing slowly came out of the house, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, as if she was getting ready to go out.
Probably because she often dealt with the Buddha, Concubine Jing always had a certain aura about her that was different from other concubines. Tong Zhuo immediately bowed his head and saluted and said: "I came here on the order of the emperor. If you have disturbed Concubine Jing, please atone for your sins."
"
"Since it is the emperor's wish, there is no need to be formal, Chief Tong. I am about to go to the Buddhist hall, so you can just do what you want." Concubine Jing's expression was very indifferent. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and smiled as if she remembered something, "
But you have to be careful about the Buddha statues in this palace."
After the footsteps completely disappeared, Tong Zhuo slowly raised his head and ordered in a deep voice: "You have also heard what Concubine Jing said just now. Buddha statues are precious, so be careful. If anything goes wrong, our heads can't afford to pay for it!"
The emperor knew that Concubine Jing liked Buddha. In the past, she would pay tribute for everything. As long as it was about Buddha, she would wave her hand and order people to send it to Chengxi Palace. As time went by, there were more and more Buddha statues in Chengxi Palace. For this reason, the emperor specially arranged
Someone built a Buddhist hall next to the side hall of Chengxi Palace to place these Buddha statues and incense burners to express their love for Concubine Jing.
"Concubine Jing is so trusting of us that she doesn't send a palace maid to follow her." Seeing the empty palace of Nuo Da, Marin began to think about it casually, "If there is something missing and it is said to be ours, then...
It’s really hard to argue…”
"There is so much nonsense, why not do more things!" Tong Zhuo couldn't help but interrupt him.
At this time, Marin did not dare to say anything anymore. He buried his head and entered the house with several other people to start searching.
At a glance, the Chengxi Palace is much simpler than the Fengwei Palace. Except for the two exquisite gilded incense burners in the palace, which are burning sandalwood, and several gilded Buddha statues, there are few other expensive ones.
Furnishings. It’s not about status, it’s just that Concubine Jing’s mind is not on competing for favor, so naturally she doesn’t care about these vain and flashy appearances.
Tong Zhuo watched them search carefully and walked to the incense burner alone. He saw that there was already a thick pile of ashes in the incense burner. The smell on Concubine Jing's body was exactly the same, presumably because she burned incense all day long.
"Chief Tong, my subordinates have not found any foreign objects."
"Leader Tong, my subordinates haven't found anything..."
"Nothing found..."
Finally, Ma Lin came silently, shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything... Chengxi Palace is simply too clean," he suggested in a low voice, "Only the Buddhist hall...
Concubine Jing is such a believer in Buddhism, I'm afraid she won't let us enter the house and disrespect the Buddha..."
"That's all," Tong Zhuo shook his head, turned and walked towards the door, "Let's go."
Marin quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If he was asked to go to the Buddhist hall to inspect the Buddha statue, he would still be a little embarrassed. They are people who lick blood from the knife edge. They never believe in Buddha but only believe in themselves, and touch it with blood-stained hands.
The compassionate Buddha is really disrespectful.
Walking to the door of the Buddhist hall, he saw Concubine Jing kneeling on the futon and chanting sutras devoutly. Tong Zhuo didn't want to disturb him, so he whispered to a palace maid who was arranging flowers and said: "Excuse me, please tell Concubine Jing. I have something important to do and I will leave."
, Your Majesty is so focused on me that it’s not easy to disturb her.”
After they left, the little palace maid ran to the Buddhist hall and told Concubine Jing the truth.
Concubine Jing nodded slightly, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.
When they arrived at Baixiang Garden, it suddenly started pouring rain. Ma Lin spat and ran inside in a hurry. When he turned around, he saw Tong Zhuo standing there as if nothing had happened. He ran into the rain and pulled him up, cursing as he ran.
: "It's raining so hard, why are you so stunned, Master!"
Tong Zhuo was pulled under the eaves by him. Seeing them shaking off the rainwater from their bodies, he patted his shoulders twice.
"Who?" Qing Glaze heard the noise and walked out quickly. Seeing a group of guards, she couldn't help but screamed in fright, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that she was so frightened, Ma Lin immediately smiled and explained: "This is our leader Tong. We are here to thoroughly investigate the case of Concubine Yang on the order of the emperor. Please inform us."
It's not that Qing Glaze doubted their identity, but the imperial guards came to Baixiang Garden for no reason. Could it be that they suspected that Concubine Yang's death was the fault of Concubine Yun?
"My subordinates are only acting impartially. All other palaces have been searched, and now only Baixiang Garden is left." Tong Zhuo was still serious, but it was rare for him to explain patiently.
Hearing what he said and the order from the emperor, Qing Glaze naturally couldn't stop him and had no choice but to lead them into the palace.
At the door, Qing Glaze suddenly stopped and turned to them and said, "Just wait here for a while. Let me go in first and report."
Entering the concubine's palace, even with the emperor's order, they did not dare to make any mistakes, lest the matter would not be completed and they would end up causing trouble.
In the blink of an eye, the door opened from the inside. Qing Glaze poked her head out and took a look. Seeing them all standing there, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Come in, Concubine Yun has just woken up."
This is the first time I have walked into the Baixiang Garden. As soon as I entered the door, I was hit by a scent that I had never smelled before. It was different from the sandalwood in Concubine Jing's palace. This fragrance seemed to be there, but when I wanted to smell it carefully, I couldn't smell it.
Can't catch it.
"I've seen Concubine Yun..." Tong Zhuo called with lowered eyes.
"I don't eat people, why are you so afraid of me?" Seeing how restrained they were, Al Yunduo yawned and said, "Pascia Palace doesn't have many rules, you can search it yourself."
She didn't know that the reason these people lowered their heads and dared not raise their eyes was not because they were afraid, but because when they entered the door, they saw a woman who was half leaning on a soft couch, with curvy figures.
They had never seen such a beautiful scene before, not to mention that the person in front of them was the emperor's concubine. One more look would make them lose their heads.
"Yes..." Tong Zhuo took the lead and turned around, preparing to leave.
"You don't need to go, Chief Tong. How about you stay and talk with me?" Al Yunduo suddenly turned around and said, seeing that his steps were slightly hesitant, he added, "Qing Glaze is standing by, just talking. I
Are you not afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Tong Zhuo didn't expect that she would speak so directly, as if someone had dug out the secret deep in his heart, and his face suddenly turned red.
Of course, no one saw it except Marin.
"What does Concubine Yun want to say to this subordinate?" Tong Zhuo turned around, still lowering his head and not daring to raise his eyes.
Al Yunduo tightened his cloak, stood up and walked slowly to him. After looking up and down, he shook his head and smiled: "It's really strange. It's not like I'm not wearing any clothes. Why don't you even dare to raise your eyes? I have."
Is that scary?"
After speaking, she deliberately knelt down and took a look. Tong Zhuo accidentally met her eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous and immediately took a step back.
"Concubine Yun, please respect yourself. You must never be so close to a man in the palace, for fear of causing trouble."
What he said was so straightforward that even the green glaze on the side couldn't help but frown.
Al Yunduo didn't speak for a while. Tong Zhuo realized that he was talking too much and was about to explain.
"It's really boring. I thought you were different from those pedantic people!" Al Yunduo turned around and walked towards the window, where Qing Glaze had set up a small round table a few days ago, where you could just sit and have a drink.
