Chapter 40

The injury on the calf was not a serious problem at all, and after a few days of recuperation, it healed.

Nine Palaces and Ten Towers, Feng Feiyue walked out of Fengyu Palace, and saw a group of nuns and maids passing by in a hurry with all kinds of things in their hands.

Seeing her, they all bowed and said, "See empress empress."

Concubine Feng looked at the boxes they held in their hands, "What is this?"

"This..." The leading nun looked distressed.

"Can't you even tell Bengong?" She snapped, her face pulled down.

"Go back to your mother, I dare not... This is what Li Mei left behind in her lifetime. Now the emperor has ordered that the hall be sorted out. Some unnecessary things, this old slave will send someone to throw them away."

"Li Meiren?" Feng Feiyue frowned, "What are they?"

"It's just some clothes and jewelry from when I was alive." Mammy didn't dare to hide anything, so she had to answer honestly.

"Take me there." Feng Feiyue looked at the kneeling group and walked forward.

"Your Majesty!" The nanny couldn't stop her, so she had to take the lead to follow. Seeing this, the maids behind her didn't dare to leave without permission.

Li Meiren's sleeping hall is just in front of Leng Gong. As soon as Concubine Feng Yue walked in, she saw a maid cleaning up the hall. The room was in a mess.The tables and chairs that should have been emptied and all were burned to ashes.

"Your Majesty..." Mammy chased after her, and the servant girl hurriedly turned around when she heard the voice.

Concubine Fengyue remembered her, the first time Meiren Li had her leg broken, she was the maid next to her who kept begging for mercy.

"My maidservant sees the queen." Seeing her, the servant girl knelt down and saluted, her eyes slightly moist.

"Get up." Feng Feiyue stepped forward, there were smashed scum and some clothes all over the ground.There is a tribute platform facing south, which has not been removed in time.There were several stacks of rice paper piled on it, she was very curious, picked it up and looked, and saw the same word 'Ting' written on each piece of paper.

Exotic scape


"Who wrote this?" Concubine Feng raised her hand and asked the maid below.

"This was written by Li Meiren. She always said that she couldn't sleep at night, and it was always the same word she wrote. The slaves have already thrown away a lot..."

"Ting? What do you mean?" Could it be that it was a real name?

"My servant doesn't know, I just know that every time the lady finishes writing, she will go crazy alone in the hall, and no one will be allowed in. The lady... has been driven crazy like this for many years." The servant girl spoke a little excitedly, faintly, hiding He didn't say anything.

Concubine Feng looked at the rice paper in her hand, each piece has a characteristic, that is, it is extremely wrinkled.It seems that after I finished writing, I was rubbed hard again, and several sheets were torn.But it was unfolded and flattened with something.

"Li Meiren, why are you crazy?"

When the servant girl heard this, she was startled by her gaffe just now. She calmed down and said calmly, "When the servant girl was sent to serve Li Meiren, she was already insane."

Feng Feiyue put the rice paper in her hand back on the table, and looked around the hall, "Is everything packed?"

"Go back to your mother, what should be burned has already been burned, what should be reported, the head of internal affairs has also recorded it, and there are only a few bits and pieces left, and the old slaves will clean up." The mother put down the things in her hand and greeted her The person's hands and feet are neat.

Concubine Feng looked at the maid, and when everyone was not paying attention, she picked up a piece of paper and stuffed it into her cuff. She stepped aside as if nothing had happened, and watched them busy, "You don't have to kneel anymore, get up."

"Thank you madam."

Even if there is something hidden in this temple, it has been cleaned up long ago.Concubine Feng kept a few people tight-lipped, as if she had never stepped in, walked out of the hall, and looked at the withered flowers and trees in the yard, she could even imagine that a few years ago, this place might have been full of flowers.

That night.Gu Ye held the memorial in his only hand, half leaning on the couch.Concubine Feng couldn't understand, so she could only lie on the side to accompany her.

The man looked stern, he put one hand around her shoulder and held the memorial in front of her. Concubine Feng rested her head on his shoulder, and her neck became sore after a while.

Noticing the woman's small movements, Gu Yezi reacted, he smiled slightly, and patted her waist with one hand, "It's uncomfortable to lie down like this, sit here."

Feng Feiyue's head moved, stiff with pain, she didn't notice his expression, "Where?"

The man separated his legs, grabbed her with his big hand, and placed her between his legs. Concubine Feng's entire back was pressed against his chest. As expected, she felt much more comfortable.

With his arms around her, Gu Yezi rested his chin on top of her head, looking at the memorial in his hand again.

This kind of posture made Concubine Feng very comfortable reading. The man looked at it very seriously, every line and every glance, and from time to time, even his whole body was tensed.

"Your Majesty, are you bothered by the matter in the memorial?"

Gu Yezi looked a little tired, put down his hands, and gently rubbed his temples, "There are endless wars on the border, how can I not be bothered?"

"Don't you have a brother?" Feng Feiyue blurted out, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.

The man didn't speak, but picked up the memorial and reviewed it again. The Jun family is his biggest hidden danger. For him, it may cause him more headache than the border disturbance.

He turned over the paper in his hand, folded it, and opened it again.

Concubine Feng got up and walked outside, but no one was allowed to follow, she walked away, she walked for a long time before arriving at the imperial study.

The person in charge is guarding the entrance of the hall, and there are many maids cleaning up inside. On weekdays, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

"See Empress Dowager." The steward saw her coming, and immediately went up to her.

Concubine Feng asked him to get up and inspected the rows of sandalwood bookshelves. She felt a little headache, "Ben Gong came here to find something."

"Your Majesty, just look for it. If you can get a slave, please give me some instructions." The steward nodded and bowed, his appearance was very respectful.

Concubine Feng nodded, and just about to step forward, she stopped, "I want to find the harem roster."

"Roster?" The steward was stunned, his eyes wide open.

"Yes, the concubines, mothers, maids, and even the guards in the harem must not be left behind!" Concubine Feng ordered in a deep voice while holding the piece of paper in her sleeve.

"This... Your Majesty, but who are you looking for?" the steward asked cautiously, with a serious expression.

"You just need to find it for Bengong." Feng Feiyue walked forward, looking at the stacks of books, her eyes fixed on them.

The steward didn't dare to answer, so he had to take her to the inner hall, "All the rosters that the empress wants are here, please have a look at the empress."

Concubine Feng read the thick books, she could only calm down, picked up the pages with her fingers, and flipped through them.

She glanced at each other, her eyes became tired after a while, Feng Feiyue simply sat down, the steward wanted to help, but she flatly refused, he could only stand by the side and did not leave.

After calming down, she wasn't so irritable anymore. She looked at her with a serious face, and the manager didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only keep silent.

"This..." Feng Feiyue pointed to one of the pages, the traces of being torn were so obvious, "Why is there a page missing?"

Hearing this, the steward was sluggish, and hurried forward, "The only one who can enter this inner palace is the emperor, besides the empress of the harem. Besides, the servants are all guarding the side of this important register, never leaving. How could this page be missing? ?”

This... is not surprising.If someone wants to hide the truth, they will spare no effort.

"Do you know, what is the identity of this missing page in this roster?"

The steward stepped forward to take a look, and then replied, "Return to the queen, she is the empress of the harem."

Feng Feiyue closed the roster, stood up, took out the silver from her sleeve and put it in the steward's hand, "Even the emperor can't tell what happened today, you know?"

The man didn't dare to take it, and kept nodding, "I don't dare."

Feng Feiyue stuffed the silver into his hand, and seeing him bowed his head, she stepped forward.

For a few days, Shi Jieyu stood alone in the courtyard, the tea planted was already withering, just like her face, late autumn, with the chill of winter, approached quietly.

With a sluggish look, she stood in the courtyard wearing a cloak, all alone, the broken leaves were not swept away from her feet, "Xiao Le, the emperor hasn't been here for a few days?"

"Shi Jieyu, the emperor just came here yesterday, but you fell asleep, the emperor stayed for a while and left." The maid named Xiao Le stood with her in the yard, looking at the empty palace door.

"Really?" The woman didn't show any joy when she heard this, "He wouldn't leave before."

Seeing her worried look, Xiao Le hurriedly comforted her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor may be too busy."

The woman smiled wryly, her voice was barely audible, she was so weak that she almost couldn't stand still, "You go down first, come back when you have dinner."

"The servant girl will help the empress to go back to the house first, you are not in good health..."

Shi Jieyu nodded, then turned around.The servant girl deliberately closed the door when she walked out of the hall, stood outside and listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no serious problem, she dared to leave.

When Gu Ye came, the sky had already darkened, and the darkness gathered into a layer, and suddenly there was a flash of thunder!

He strode in, feeling uneasy.There was no one outside Jingye Palace.The strong wind blew, the flower branches trembled wildly, and the tea branch that was sprouting new buds was broken by force.

The emperor stepped forward quickly, the wind was blowing under his feet, his face was gloomy and cold, like the sudden dark night, he pushed hard on the door of the palace with both hands, but the wind did not move!Under his palm, he raised a handful of internal force, and the man knocked the door open with a 'touch' sound.

The cold wind whizzed towards the face, and with the moonlight shining in from outside, Gu Ye saw that familiar figure at a glance.However, Fanghua was no longer there, and the woman at this time was actually hung high above the palace.Barefoot, under the white pajamas, the body swayed with the white silk.

The emperor turned pale with fright, cut off the white silk with one palm, lost its support, and the woman's body fell straight down.He caught her without thinking and put her on the ground.

"Shi Jieyu...Shi Jieyu..." Gu Yeli patted her pale cheek with one hand, but the woman's eyes were tightly closed and her body was tense.

Holding her in his arms, the emperor finally knew that Shi Jieyu had lost a whole lot of weight in a few days, and the makeup covered her dark circles, but it still couldn't cover her haggardness. How could I forget that she had nightmares every night? Lian Lian, the body must have straddled.
