Chapter 323 The Weird Sea of ​​Flowers (Part [-])
Emperor Zhao was not a lustful person. Compared with beauty, he cared more about status and power, so the number of concubines in Emperor Zhao's harem was not that many, and even the talent show was only held once every few years.

The most recent draft was a year ago, and there were quite a few women sent up from various places, but there were not many women who were finally selected into the palace.And the one walking towards him is one of the few outstanding women who were drafted last year——

Today's Zhaoyi, Ruan Sisi.

Looking at Ruan Sisi who was getting closer and closer, Jun Wan held her breath and looked away slightly, fearing that her gaze would disturb her and reveal her hiding place.

The light in his eyes is slightly cold, and there is a deep look in his eyes.

If she remembered correctly, Ruan Sisi's father was just a small official in the capital, except for the fact that he was quite close to Xue Yanchen's father, Xue Qi, he really didn't have a very outstanding family background.

However, even though Ruan Sisi was born in Xiaojiabiyu, she has a bit of a bright and cheerful temper.Therefore, although Ruan Sisi's appearance was not the best among the selected ladies, but because of her innocent nature, even in front of Emperor Zhao, she dared to say what others didn't dare to say.

For Emperor Zhao, he was used to seeing too many obedient and obedient women, this kind of temperament gave him a little freshness, so he has been fond of Ruan Sisi recently.

But she didn't expect that Ruan Sisi would do such a thing with Xue Yanchen even though she was in the prime of her favor. If Emperor Zhao knew about this, neither she nor Xue Yanchen would survive!I don't know what she was thinking.

After thinking about it, Jun Wan still couldn't figure it out.

What is so good about Xue Yanchen?Is it worth Ruan Sisi's risking her life to sneak up on a date with him?In Jun Wan's view, although Zhou Yanchen had a good skin, but his abilities were mediocre, and he was ignorant all day long, he couldn't be considered a good match no matter what.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it anyway.

One is the emperor's favorite concubine who has been in the limelight recently, and the other is the unlearned and incompetent son of a family dude. No matter how you think about it, these two people should be inseparable from each other.Could it be that because Ruan Sisi's father was close to Xue Qi, they already knew each other?

But no matter what, even she is doubting the authenticity of this matter. If she really uses this matter to blackmail the Queen, even if it gets out, everyone will probably not believe it. Things went down silently.Thinking about it this way, Jun Wan became more determined to tell Shen Chuhan about this matter.

She didn't want the queen and the Xue family to have a better life, but she didn't want to involve herself either.

While thinking wildly, Ruan Sisi got closer and closer, and the contours of her face gradually became clearer.

Jun Wan raised her eyes cautiously, her gaze swept across Ruan Sisi's face.

Ruan Sisi seemed to be still immersed in the pleasure just now, with a smile on her lips, and the blush that hadn't receded on her skin that could be broken by blows, clearly showed that she was indeed the woman who had been in love with Xue Yanchen in the woods just now.

Xu Shi had just met her lover, Ruan Sisi was in a good mood, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her steps were light, and she quickly walked past Jun Wan, her graceful figure gradually disappeared from Jun Wan's sight.

Watching her figure disappear, Jun Wan suddenly let out a sigh of relief, her legs went limp, and she hurriedly reached out to support the tree trunk, trying to stabilize her body, feeling a sense of powerlessness after collapse.

Fang Cai is really dangerous!
If she didn't have this oleander grove to hide in, she would definitely expose herself.Xue Yanchen even dared to steal the emperor's woman, so wouldn't he dare to deal with an emperor who had no sense of presence in the palace?It can be said that once she was exposed just now, her life would be in danger.

Fortunately, God helped her and sent such a dense oleander forest when she needed it most.

Jun Wan raised her head and looked around a oleander forest in full bloom.

The oleander is in full bloom at this time, with a flame-like bright red color, blooming one by one, and the eyes are full of rich red, like a large piece of flame, shining under the sunlight, it is really beautiful.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows, the flowers on the branches hang down, and the petals are flying in the air, as if there is a rain of petals all over the sky. Jun Wan is in it, and she feels so beautiful, her mind is blank, she just stares blankly at the front Beautiful scene.

The wind stopped, and the red petals scattered on the ground made the beautiful scenery in front of me even more beautiful.

Jun Wan stared blankly, feeling shocked in his heart.

This oleander forest is so beautiful, when did it appear here?

She closed her eyes, carefully recalling the scene when she came to the cold palace.

At that time, she was really too young, and she was extremely afraid of coming to the cold palace, so she didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery. She barely remembered that at that time, the place where the oleander forest was located was a large open space without any Oleander forest.

This place is close to the Leng Palace, ordinary palace people would not come here at all, and the concubines in the Leng Palace are restricted in their freedom, so it is impossible to come here.

So, what is the meaning of existence of such a large forest of flowers?

Junwan thought for a while, but to no avail, she had to put aside the matter for the time being, tightened her dress, and walked outside.

The strong branches parted one by one in front of my eyes, and the lush flowers on the branches exuded a strong fragrance, which made Jun Wan feel a little dizzy.She remembered hearing people say that oleander itself is highly poisonous, and its fragrance can make people dizzy if smelled too much.

It seems that you can't stay here for long.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and hurried out of the forest.

But after walking for a while, Jun Wan felt something was wrong.

Just now, she obviously didn't go far into the forest, but why didn't she go out after walking for a long time?
Perhaps it was the scent of oleander that played a role. She felt that the scenery in front of her was becoming more and more blurred, and her mind was also in chaos, so she just kept going forward in a daze.

It took another cup of tea, but she still didn't go out, and it seemed that she was getting farther and farther away from leaving the palace.

Countless branches separated and closed in front of her, as if each one had a spirituality, creating a moving maze in front of her.

Stumbled and walked for a while, still no progress.Every time she thought she could go out, she finally found that she was back to the original point.

Jun Wan felt a little terrified.

There were faint screams and cries from the cold palace not far away, the sun was hidden in the clouds, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop suddenly, and another gust of wind blew by, she shivered from the cold, and her mind finally recovered for a moment Ching Ming.

The scent of this oleander is really weird.

Her heart was ruthless, and she stretched out her hand to pinch her arm fiercely.

The sharp nails pierced into the skin, and a heart-piercing pain spread all over her body. Because of the pain, she really felt that she was much more awake. She shook her head, held her breath as much as possible, and began to look around.

The oleander forest in front of me is still the same oleander forest just now, but it seems to be different.

For some reason, these branches and leaves seem to be getting more and more lush, covering the road ahead, barely able to see the path paved with bluestone slabs just before the exit.

On the other side, in the depths of the oleander forest, it was so tightly blocked by branches and leaves that it was impossible to see what was inside.

Jun Wan's brows frowned even tighter.

For some reason, she felt that not only the scent of the oleander was weird, but also the forest itself seemed weird.

She felt more and more that the appearance of this forest must have some deep meaning.

In the end, why?

Jun Wan was both puzzled and nervous.

It has been a long time since she left Jinrong Hall, if she doesn't go back, Emperor Zhao and the Empress will definitely become suspicious if they notice her sudden departure.

But, she really didn't know how to get out of this weird oleander forest.

Although it seems that this forest has no other purpose other than trapping her here, she always feels that there is still a greater danger waiting for her. stand up.

Feeling restless, he forced himself to calm down and carefully analyzed the current situation.

Looking at the tree trunks that seemed to be constantly moving, he could not get out of the woods no matter what.If she guessed correctly, this oleander grove was likely to be stepped down from the formation, and the branches that kept stretching in front of her were mostly just blindfolds.

Thinking that the exit was on the east side of the Taolin just now, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and groped towards the east side only by intuition.

The branches beside her kept receding, but without the aid of her eyes, Jun Wan gradually deviated from her original track and started to walk deep into the oleander forest, but she didn't even know it.

After walking for a while, she finally realized that something was wrong. Just as she was about to open her eyes to see the situation, she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her. Before she could turn around, she felt a pain in her neck. do not wake up.

*
At this time, the palace banquet in Jinrong Hall was gradually coming to an end.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone talked more and more, toasting and exchanging glasses, it was very lively.

Later, Xue Yuqing took the initiative to talk to Jun Che, but saw that his expression was always calm, as if he was not very interested. He knew that he had recently suffered setbacks in the court, and he had been suppressed by Emperor Zhao several times, and he was in a constant mood during this time. No, it’s not good to bother him all the time, and then I stopped talking, just sat quietly on the seat, occasionally drinking a glass of wine and eating a bite of food.

Picking up the wine cup and taking a sip, her eyes drifted to the empty seat beside her, suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Why hasn't Yunhe come back yet?
Just now she said that she was going to change clothes, but no matter whether it was changing clothes or going to the concubine's room, it shouldn't take so long?Could it be that something delayed her on the way?
A little suspicious in my heart, I couldn't help but glanced at her seat several times.

Jun Che naturally noticed her strangeness, and then glanced at Jun Wan's vacated seat, frowning slightly, "Where did Yun He go?"

Xue Yuqing shook her head, "I don't even know about it. Just now she said she was going to change clothes, but the time for this cup of tea has passed, and she hasn't come back yet."

Jun Che frowned and said nothing.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person sneaking into the hall, sat down in his seat, glanced roughly, that person looked familiar, it seemed... he was the son of the Xue family.

Squinting his eyes, he looked back at Xue Yuqing, "Is that your cousin?"

Xue Yuqing followed Jun Che's line of sight, and saw that the person he was looking at was Xue Yanchen, the eldest son of Xue's family. She had met him once or twice after she came to the capital, but she was only a daughter of a collateral lineage, and she had never met him before. There is too much exposure.

Xue Yanchen seemed to have just come in from the outside, hurried to his seat and sat down, and was reprimanded by Xue Qi at the side.

Xue Yuqing withdrew her gaze and nodded, "It's the son of Xue's family, Xue Yanchen."

Jun Che turned his eyes meaningfully, did not speak, and quickly turned his eyes away. Unfortunately, his sight collided with Shen Chuhan who was looking at this side, and the two eyes immediately collided with fierce sparks in the air.

Shen Chuhan's expression was cold, and the ice was also quenched in his eyes, which froze people.

However, Jun Che's eyes fluctuated a bit. Obviously, every time he met Shen Chuhan, his emotions were always difficult to control.

Suddenly, a faint coldness flashed across the corner of Shen Chuhan's lips, and he quickly turned his eyes, glanced at Jun Wan's vacant seat, and calmly withdrew his gaze, the expression in his eyes did not have a slight ripple, as elegant and holy as a mountain Saussurea on.

Seeing that his appearance was not like fireworks in the world, Jun Che became furious, clutched the cup in his hand resentfully, and lowered his eyes coldly.

Seeing Shen Chuhan glance not far away thoughtfully, Song Qinghuan followed his gaze, and his eyes fell on Junwan's seat, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Ashu, how long has Yunhe been out?" gone?"
