After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 196 Death News
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Cen Li lowered his hands to report the current situation of Chang'an Palace.

In the first place, although Jiang Huaiyang was holding a pen in his hand, his attention was not on the memorial, but listening to it.

He was carrying the chief down, when the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind poured in, eroding the bone-piercing cold.

Wen Zhi's face was gloomy, and after stepping in, he came to the front and whispered, "Your Majesty, the maid who was released from the palace by the empress—" He paused for a moment, before uttering three words:
"Suicide."

Just a few words, but made the atmosphere in the hall cool down.This matter should not have been reported to the Supreme Saint, but after all, it is related to that one, and no matter how you say it, she is a confidant servant girl.

Cen Li was terrified, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, pretending he didn't hear it.

His expression didn't change, and he ordered in a low voice, "Help it for now, don't let her know." If the little lady finds out, she doesn't know how to be sad.

"Yes."

In the huge imperial city, snowflakes fluttered and fluttered, and this year's winter seemed strangely cold.
.
The palace man in charge of delivering the letter went to Chang'an Palace to report the wood spirit's recent situation, and only said that everything was fine.

Although she has been busy with the La Ri palace banquet recently, Ruan Yuyi still remembers the wood spirit who left the palace, and she felt relieved when she heard the good news.

"Is it obvious that she has used the cakes you sent?" She said casually while drawing flowers.Usually, Mu Ling is most greedy for her sister Mu Xiang's craftsmanship, and always relies on her to beg for food from her. When she is out of the palace this time, she will miss Mu Xiang's craftsmanship even after thinking about it.

She didn't hear the palace servant's voice for a long time, she raised her eyes to look.

The palace man was stunned by this gaze, and after realizing it, he simply said, "It's used." This was because he was afraid of making too many mistakes.

With a smile on her lips, she asked Mu Xiang to reward her.

The palace man thanked him and retreated, but he was absent-minded when he got off the stage, and almost didn't fall.After standing still, he wiped the sweat from his brow.

Mu Xiang, who was sent out, saw that his expression was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter, our empress is terrible?"

"Ouch," the palace man said quickly, not thinking about whether he had said something inappropriate just now, "what about aunt, who knows that Concubine Jin will be lenient."

Mu Xiang looked at him steadily, "Then why are you panicking?"

The palace man shook his head a few times, "Auntie, I'm afraid I misread it, but this servant almost fell and panicked."

What he said didn't make sense, and he didn't know whether he was panicking or not.Mu Xiang heard some signs, and forced to ask, "Say it or not?...Could it be that the wood spirit knocked over the food box?"

The more she talked, the more she felt it was possible, that little girl was always reckless.

Seeing that he couldn't get away, the palace man stomped his feet and simply said, "That girl is gone."

Mu Xiang froze, "What do you mean?"

"It's just dead."

She opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end.How could it be, someone sent a letter the day before, just like she was complaining about the girl and cocklebur she lived with, following her and staring at her every day.

When Mingming sent her out of the palace, she was still smiling and talking sweetly.

The palace man felt that his tone was too blunt, and sighed, "Oh, I have never seen a girl who has suffered so much in the palace. My aunt's condolences, but the master's side, your majesty has ordered ten thousand Unknowable."

She nodded, confused, "I got it, got it—"

She couldn't hear what the palace man said to her again, and she didn't realize when she left.

She stood under the wind for a while, and her hands and feet were cold.Until the voice of the young lady calling her came from the room, she suddenly came back to her senses.She patted her cheek and smiled.

When her fingertips touched the door, she realized that her hands were trembling.

Inside the house, Ruan Yuyi was still sketching the flowers under her hand, seeing Mu Xiang's pale face, she thought it was cold.She took the other's hand, and she was shocked by the ice.

She stuffed Mu Xiang with the sleeve stove on her lap, and joked, "Is this playing in the snow? You made your hands so cold."

The temperature of the sleeve stove spread all over the limbs, and Mu Xiang replied with a smile, "But it's colder outside, I'm just going to play in the snow, the servants are grown up."

"That's right," she rubbed her sore wrists, and said casually, "Only childish people like Mu Ling would talk about playing in the snow."

But this year's winter, the snow fell so beautifully that the wood spirit didn't have time to play in the snow.

The radian of Mu Xiang's lips remained unchanged, and she turned her head sideways to look out the window.The young lady is afraid of the cold, and the windows are always closed. Only when she is in the inner room, she opens the window to let in the air.

At this moment, the snow was falling on the window paper, making a rustling sound, as if insects were eating away at the endless winter.
.
In the afternoon, after taking a nap for about half an hour, Mu Xiang came in to call someone.But Ruan Yuyi was lying on her side on the couch, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully.

Mu Xiang sighed faintly.Although the young lady didn't show it on the face, she could feel that the young lady was still reluctant to let Mu Xiang leave the palace.only now—

She gently pushed Ruan Yuyi's shoulder, "Miss, it's time to wake up." She woke up later than usual in the morning, and if she fell asleep all the time, she would still be able to fall asleep.

She moaned, her eyelashes trembled twice, and then opened.The tears that had been in my eyes in my sleep finally couldn't hold back and slipped down.

She wiped it away with her hand and stood up.

Seeing her sitting up, Mu Xiang loosened her hair again and said, "There is a new musician in the palace. He is a piano player. Do you want to meet me?"

She stroked the folds of her dress, "Musician?"

"I heard that His Majesty recruited it newly, and it's just for empress to relieve her boredom," Mu Xiang said, "It's already waiting outside."

"Then please." She got up and walked to the side hall, Mu Xiang pulled up the soft curtain for her.

In the side hall, stood a man of excellent posture and style, with a white and white face, straight eyebrows, picturesque eyebrows, male and female appearance.Hearing the movement, he turned around and saluted, "I've seen your mother."

Ruan Yuyi hesitated for a moment, "Xuan Rao? Why are you here?"

Xuan Rao lowered his eyes and smiled, and replied, "I thought my mother knew about it, and I came here as a musician. Fortunately, my master forced me to learn one more piano skill, and I have this opportunity today. .”

Have this opportunity to enter the palace to see her.

"You're not going to sing in the play anymore?" She asked someone to give him a seat.

He shook his head, "I won't sing anymore. I will go back and have a look once in a while." Because of this, the master was very angry, and used the soft whip that he used to urge them to practice.

After all, the master felt sorry for him and scolded him for ruining his future, but he didn't do anything cruel.This allowed him to recover from his injuries in a few days before entering the palace.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly, what a pity.She ordered someone to pour tea, and suddenly remembered the fruit wine that was delivered by the imperial dining room the day before yesterday, so she asked someone to take it.

"How did you get into the palace?" Does His Majesty really trust him to entertain himself?

Xuan Rao's complexion remained unchanged, and he answered the question, "Your Majesty has agreed to the conditions that can make His Majesty feel at ease."
