Yijuan cloud

Chapter 231

I wore the clothes of a palace maid under my armor, and I was familiar with the terrain of the palace, so I arrived at the courtyard where Wen Jin lived smoothly.

A palace lantern hung under the eaves of the small courtyard, emitting a dim light that attracted a few moths to circle around.

The August sky on the grassland was already very cold at night.

Two young eunuchs stood at the entrance of the courtyard, with their hands retracted into their sleeves, chatting and pacing in place.

I don’t know if it’s because it has been renovated, but the old place is full of unfamiliar atmosphere, and eunuchs and maids can be seen everywhere. Inexplicable sadness and sadness well up in my heart.

But this way, it also dispelled my nervousness.

A few steps away from the entrance of the courtyard, I stopped and said calmly:

"Your Majesty previously ordered us to sort out the old things in the mansion. Could you please give me some advice from your two father-in-laws on how to put the things we have sorted out?"

"Old things? Where do you work?" asked a fat little eunuch.

Before I could reply, another thin eunuch said: "Have you forgotten? Who lived in this house in the past?"

The fat eunuch seemed to suddenly realize it and responded repeatedly: "I understand."

Then he smiled at me and said, "Wait a minute, miss. I'll go in and ask the queen."

The fat eunuch went in, and the thin eunuch talked to me all the time.

I said it was from my warehouse, made up a random name, and said nothing more.

When the thin eunuch saw that I was ignoring me, he felt bored and started humming along with the orchestral music coming from far away.

Soon, the fat eunuch came out.

Then, Wen Jin also walked out. She was wearing a moon-white straight-collared short coat with a large placket, a light cyan woven gold double-breasted armour, and a dark green pleated skirt. She was elegant and elegant, with all kinds of hairpins shining brightly on her head. She is radiant, with tall temples and full of nobility.

She looked at me deeply in the night, her eyes full of shock, but only for a moment.

She was supported by the fat eunuch and calmly stepped out of the threshold. Then without stopping, she said, "I'll go and have a look. You don't have to follow me."

As he said that, when he passed by me, he turned his face slightly and said calmly: "Let's go, accompany me there."

I held a lantern and led the way.

When she reached a secluded place, she whispered: "Go to the place where you used to live."

"Your Majesty and I have a close connection." I turned back and smiled at her.

She was already a concubine, and no matter where she went, she would never be without someone. Even in her own bedroom, she was not safe.

Moreover, being alone with me, a "familiar palace maid", would inevitably make people suspicious.

But if we go to her former residence, then everything makes sense.

She looked nervous and opened her mouth to say something, but because she was outside and someone could appear at any time, she finally held back and walked ahead.

Where we used to live was not that far away.

Because no one lived there, only two palace lanterns were lit at the entrance of the courtyard, and it was dark inside.

There were also two eunuchs guarding the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw us from a distance, they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Jin An."

Wen Jin walked to the door and said calmly: "I'm going to check some old things. I don't want to be disturbed."

"My slave understands." The two eunuchs bowed and said respectfully.Although Wen Jin was only a talented person, there were only a few concubines in the harem, she and Lin Se were the only ones, and the emperor brought her here during his northern tour, so the servants in the palace treated her with great obedience and did not dare to disobey her in the slightest.

Stepping into the yard, I turned around and bolted the door.

Before he could turn around, his arm was held tightly.

Wen Jin's eyes were bright, and there were two wet tears on her pink and white face.

I looked at her quietly.

After a moment, she lowered her eyes slightly, slowly held my hand, held my hand, and said softly: "Let's go into the house and talk."

The pomegranate flowers in the yard are covered with red fruits, and no one has picked them. They are ripe early, revealing the jewel-like red seeds. The layout of the yard is still the same. Even the large tank filled with lotus leaves and goldfish has clear water and green leaves. There are a few goldfish in it. When the lamp shadow passed by, it swam away with a light stroke of its tail.

Follow Wen Jin to the room where she used to live.

The one next door is mine, the lights are dark and the outside is locked.

Wen Jin stood at the door of her house and said warmly: "Please come in."

I was in a trance for a moment, as if I was back in time.

After a busy day with her, I would sometimes come to sit in her room. She opened the door and said with a smile: "Please come in."

I like that she is polite and considerate. Although she is not as intimate as when she was with Linghua, Wen Jin's dignity and generosity are admirable.

Every time I say: "Sister, please come first." Then we enter the room together with a smile.

She lit the menorah and the room suddenly lit up.

There are blue and white porcelain tea sets and four chairs on the Eight Immortals table. We don't rest in front of the table, but always go to the soft couch by the window.The Eight Immortals Table is a place for entertaining guests.

She lit the menorah and invited me to sit in a chair.

When she walked in front of me, she was about to kneel down in her skirt. I stood up, held her arms, pulled her up hard, and said, "What are you doing? You are an empress now, and I am just a commoner..."

"Girl, stop talking. Others don't know. Don't I know who you are?"

I said: "You and I will stop telling lies. Let me ask you, is the person who delivers the letter reliable?"

Wen Jin nodded and said sternly: "He is a young eunuch in the imperial kitchen. He has been favored by Gong An. He is honest and loyal. He is very popular in the palace. If he does it, others will only think that he is a good-hearted person." Good things are taken advantage of.”

The stone in my heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and I said, "I knew it. With you and Eunuch An in the palace, I don't have to worry about anything."

Wen Jin looked a little uncomfortable and said, "It's the same here, girl. However, I was still thinking just now, what if the man didn't take the bait? For example, if he didn't follow him? Or if he followed him, he wouldn't panic if he was discovered. , just insist that it has nothing to do with me? That will definitely make people suspect that I am framing the fault."

I said: "He will."

Wen Jin sighed: "In the past six months, Ning Bin and I have had many private disputes. Although we are in harmony on the surface, with the emperor's temperament, how could we not notice it? It's just that his mind is not on the harem. As long as he looks good on the surface, he I never care or ask. Concubine Ning is beautiful and literate, so whenever the emperor comes to the harem, he will go to her place to sit. I heard from the people I placed in her palace that she only holds a book and reads quietly, and the emperor will After watching for a long time, she is now pregnant again, and it is inevitable that she will be favored in the harem in the future. You ask me to fight with her, fight with her, with the emperor's love for her, it will be difficult to trip her up for a while, but she I can't take my identity slowly, and she has the emperor's first prince, so how many people will she attract? So even if the man is not messy and his behavior is not suspicious, even if the emperor is suspicious of me, You have to give it a try. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, it will cast a shadow on the emperor's heart."

I looked at Wen Jin coldly.

I have known her to be very tactful and flawless in her words and actions, but I have never felt that she is as powerful as I do now... No wonder, in the past, before knowing that she betrayed me, how could I be suspicious of her?

She clearly felt guilty and anxious in her heart, but she seemed to be worried about me every word, and she explained to me clearly how much the emperor dotes on Linse, so that I could only worry about Linse, and make me feel sad and even sad. Disturbing her mind, she brought out her good points.

I feel like I have a clear mind, but I still feel dull and uncomfortable, and I can't describe what I feel.

This feeling made me very irritable, so I blurted out: "Yes. When it comes to affairs between men and women and scandals in the palace, once they get involved, they can no longer be explained clearly. Isn't that what they used to do to me?"
