Chapter 77

"Your Majesty..." Li Yan closed the door of the palace and said worriedly, "The emperor has not returned to Yiluan Palace."

"Not in my bedroom..." Concubine Feng looked at the table full of food and drink, her face turned full of anxiety, "It's so late."

"The father-in-law who listened to his duties said that the emperor held a court meeting overnight, and this meeting should still be in the Golden Luan Hall."

Concubine Feng read and heard that the warm hall felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she stood up without hesitation, and said to Li Yan, "Accompany me for a walk."

"Yes, empress." She was also worried, and when she saw Concubine Feng go out, she hurriedly followed behind.

The two hurriedly came to the Golden Luan Hall, except for the eunuchs guarding the night, there was no sign of the emperor's ministers at all.

"Will the emperor return to Yiluan Hall?" Feng Feiyue walked to the front of the hall and asked one of the eunuchs.

"Go back to your empress, the emperor just stood here for a while, and then left." The eunuch answered truthfully, and after hearing this, Concubine Feng took Li Yan to Fengyu Palace in a hurry.

In the long corridor, the figures of the two people stretched very long, their footsteps were intricate, and they hurried back to the main hall, but the emperor's figure was still missing.Concubine Feng Yue felt uneasy in her heart, and rushed to the emperor's bedroom, but it was still empty.

On weekdays, it is common to not be able to find Gu Yezi, but today, she is stubborn. She has heard a little about the affairs of the court, and she also knows that the emperor does not think about food and drink these days.At this time, I naturally can't help much, but there is a feeling of wanting to be together, doing nothing, even sitting by my side.

Li Yan followed Feng Feiyue absent-mindedly, she no longer hurried her steps, but searched carefully along the corridor, the woman behind also looked anxious, her eyes were looking around, for fear of missing something.

The fallen forest is sparse, and the emerald bamboo leaves are rustling on the edge of the palace shoes under her feet. Concubine Feng Yue was just about to walk through the garden, but Li Yan behind her had no time to keep up. ..."

Concubine Feng Yue hurriedly stepped on her footsteps and stopped, followed the woman's line of sight, and saw the dazzling bright yellow hidden in the mottled bamboo forests on all sides, if you don't observe carefully, you can't see it at all.She stood where she was, took the cloak from Li Yan's hand with one hand, and stepped forward slowly.

The path is paved with cobblestones, covered with long and thin bamboo leaves, and there is snow that will not melt in the future at the guardrails on both sides. As soon as I walked a few steps, I felt very cold, my shoulders were trembling, and my hands were wrapped around the cloak. Tight, Feng Feiyue quickened her pace.Walking into the small path that is as wide as one person, one realizes that it suddenly opens up. There is a radius of several zhang inside. On a stone table in the middle, there is the figure they are eager to find lying on their stomachs.

Concubine Feng hesitated, the emperor seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, she clenched her front with one hand, but she still couldn't stop the cold wind pouring in, her skirt was graceful, she approached a few steps, but Gu Yezi still didn't respond at all.Opening the cloak, Concubine Feng sighed pitifully, the emperor was full of tiredness, with his side resting on his arm, he came, and it seemed that for a while, a thin layer of frost fell on his shoulders, but between his brows there was something colder than frost. Worried, she shook her head and brushed her fingers lightly. Just as she put on the cloak, the emperor's shoulders trembled suddenly and he woke up.

Without opening her eyes, she subconsciously grabbed Feng Feiyue's catkin with her backhand. Gu Yezu lowered her upper body, parted her thin lips slightly, and murmured vaguely, "Yi Ting..."

Her hands on her shoulders froze, her brows furrowed, the emperor straightened up, rubbed his eyes with one hand, and opened them.Li Yan followed Feng Feiyue, and after hearing those two words, she turned her body and looked at her in a panic, while the latter shook her head unobtrusively, motioning her to keep silent.

Gu Yezi saw the two of them clearly, took Feng Fei away with one hand, and said wearily, "Why are you here?"

There was no evasive look on his face, he wanted to come to the name just now, but blurted it out in a haze, and he didn't remember it.

Concubine Feng looked around, the environment was elegant and quiet, it was a good place to avoid troubles.The surrounding area was very dark, and from such a short distance, she could barely see Gu Yezi's eyebrows clearly.On the other side, surrounded by rockery, there should be few people cleaning here. The fallen leaves piled up to the ankles. "The concubine couldn't wait for you, so I searched all the way."

Gu Ye raised his head and looked up from the depths of the bamboo forest, "I wanted to go to Fengyu Palace, but for some reason, I came here unknowingly. If it wasn't for you, I would sleep here tonight."

Concubine Feng looked at his red eye sockets, and sat down on the stone bench next to him, "The state affairs are busy, and the body is equally important."

It's very cold here, if you really lie down all night, you will definitely get sick from the cold.

Gu Yezi supported his head with his hands, and the shoulders became numb due to lying on the ground for too long. Concubine Feng saw this, and as soon as her eyes fell, she saw Li Yan beside her with her head hanging down without saying a word.

"Li Yan, give the emperor a thump, after a while, we will go back when the emperor recovers."

Gu Yezi didn't open her mouth, and the woman saw this, so she had no choice but to step forward step by step.Just like Shui Jian kept looking down, not daring to look at Concubine Feng, and even less daring to face the emperor squarely.

Clenched into powder fists, left and right landed on Gu Yexi's shoulders, Feng Feiyue looked from the opposite direction, the emperor put his hands together on the stone table, and Li Yan behind him, his eyes fell on his broad shoulders , The action is serious and powerful.From this point of view, there doesn't seem to be any entanglement between the two of them, and Gu Yezi's eyes are undoubtedly unfamiliar to Li Yan.

"How did you find this?" While he was thinking, the man might as well ask.

Concubine Feng woke up with a start, she raised her chin with one hand, and glanced behind him thoughtfully, "It was the concubine's servant girl who had sharp eyes, and that's why I found it."

"Oh?" The emperor smiled indifferently, and he was just asking casually, let alone taking it to heart, "Rub a few times here, maybe it's because I've slept on the pillow for too long."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yan's cheeks were blushing, and she kneaded gently with her five fingers together.

After only a few strokes, the emperor frowned, his handsome face turned cold, and when he turned his head, Li Yan took a big step back in fright. Palm, "Your Majesty..."

Li Yan was afraid for a while, and hurriedly knelt down, "The emperor has mercy..."

Concubine Feng couldn't sit still, she got up and came behind Gu Ye, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

The emperor's complexion was not good, looking at the huddled figure on the ground, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, he shook his head and said lightly, "It's okay, let's go back."

Standing up and striding away, Concubine Feng couldn't react for a while, seeing the woman still kneeling there, she hurriedly said, "What are you still doing, get up quickly."

The two walked to the half of the forest, and saw a tall and straight figure projected towards him. The emperor turned around and took a few steps, as if he was waiting for her along the way.Wrapping Feng Feiyue's catkin with one hand, she walked out.

Returning to Fengyu Palace, after dinner, she bathed in the severe cold. Concubine Feng watched him gradually fall asleep, then got up from the couch, put on a pajamas, and brought Li Yan to the outer hall.

The woman's eye circles were slightly red, Feng Feiyue sat down beside her, and took a sip of sake, "Li Yan, you don't know how to hide it."

She was slightly stunned, tears could be wiped away, but the traces of crying were too obvious, "Your Majesty...servant."

"You don't need to say anything." Concubine Feng Yue waved her hand slightly, "You have also heard what the emperor just said, I remember that Yi Ting should be Shi Jieyu's boudoir name."

Li Yan opened her mouth, she couldn't help it, she shed tears in front of Concubine Fengyue.

"I want you to tell the truth, did you have a relationship with the emperor before?" Concubine Feng put down the wine bottle in her hand, "What is your relationship with Shi Jieyu?"

Li Yan showed a look of fear, she had no choice but to kneel down with a plop, "Your Majesty..."

Queen, she is kind to herself, but it is difficult for her to speak about this relationship.

Concubine Feng closed her eyes extremely tired, "I want to ask you the last question, Shi Jieyu, should I be on guard?"

Li Yan's eyes were full of sincerity, she put her hands by her side and raised her head, "Shi Jieyu has a gentle and honest nature, and she will not harm others. Your empress can rest assured about this."

Standing up and helping her up from the ground, Concubine Feng Yue only ordered one sentence before turning back to the inner hall, "Go down and rest."

Li Yan felt ashamed of what she had done to her, took her order, and walked out in small steps, but instead of returning to her own residence, she followed her steps to the bamboo forest just now.She came to a rockery like a puppet, bent over, inside, it was dark, but the woman walked freely, within a few steps, she picked up a clean place and sat down.Outside, the bright moonlight could not see anything inside, she suddenly hugged her knees with her hands, and began to cry bitterly. After an unknown amount of time, the mournful cry stopped. She picked up the stones that had been prepared by the side, and turned around. , Carved a string of characters on the stone wall.

Not daring to stay for a long time, Li Yan stayed there for a while, wiped away her tears, and went out holding her breath.

When Concubine Feng walked into the hall, the emperor was already sound asleep, with his body sideways facing her, with one hand under his head.His sleeping posture is not good, so it is difficult to sleep soundly. From time to time, Concubine Feng will see him frowning, his thin lips slightly parted, as if he is raving, but he can't hear clearly.

Walking to the edge of the couch, she sat down lightly, leaning on the scap just now, like a nightmare, deeply stuck in the bottom of her heart, although it could only be a dream, but now this thorn really landed on the bed. himself.

Concubine Feng saw that his eyebrows were tightly knit, and he was about to stand up holding the hem of the skirt with both hands, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed. I was able to stretch out my calf to block the bed frame, and then barely sat down on the side again.

"Yue'er..." The call this time was so forceful, she responded lightly, put her elbow on the emperor's chest, opened her eyes, but saw that he hadn't woken up.Brow, after grabbing his wrist, gradually loosened.The condensed sorrow slowly eased away. Concubine Feng Yue's heart was moved, seeing his slender five fingers tightly pinching her own wrist, and the neatly trimmed fingertips were slightly white due to exertion. How could he sleep peacefully like this? ?
