Chapter 878 Palace Scandal

Concubine Yu beckoned me to go in, the oil lamp was lit inside, but it was still very dim.

Concubine Yu looked at me tenderly and smiled, that beautiful smile made me feel ashamed, but I was also faintly uneasy.

"A Yi, do you know why I chose you as my personal maid out of so many young girls?"

I shook my head, and I never understood, I was very ordinary in appearance and not smart enough, I was seriously injured at the time and was dying, I really don’t know why Concubine Yu chose me, I just thought it was a piece of cake from the sky that fell on me.

"Because even in a coma, the expression on your face is very stubborn, very much like my childhood, when I decided to bring you back."

It turned out to be such a reason, I didn't know it myself, my stubborn temper, which my parents had a headache since I was a child, would be the life-saving talisman that saved my life.

"Ayi, everyone has their own destiny, but remember, don't give up the belief in living when you encounter any difficulties. Only by living can you have hope!"

I'm a little scared, I don't know why the good Concubine Yu said this to me.

"A Yi, there is only so much I can do for you!"

Then, Concubine Yu suddenly took a step back, and before I could react, the big wardrobe was closed, and I saw Concubine Yu's beautiful smile with a hint of relief and relief.

I was locked in the secret passage, as if isolated from the world, I slammed on the secret door desperately, my hands became red and swollen, and blood leaked from my fingernails, but the secret door did not move at all.

I don't know how long I cried in the dark until my voice was so hoarse that I couldn't make a sound, and my body was so weak that I couldn't stand up.

However, a new hope suddenly rushed into my heart. This is a secret path, so there must be an exit. If I can’t get out of it, then I will find another exit.

So, I began to grope forward in the dark, and I went astray many times in the middle, but I couldn't give up, the words of Empress Yufei still rang in my ears, even if it was for Empress, I absolutely couldn't give up hope.

I don't know how long I've been walking, but just when I thought I couldn't get out again, I didn't know what my hand touched, a ray of light suddenly shone into my eyes, and I just felt dazed for a while.

After getting used to it for a while, I couldn't wait to crawl out of the secret passage. I just wanted to go back to the palace as soon as possible, to return to Concubine Yu's side.

After I went out, I found myself in a garden full of trees, and there were still a lot of flowers. The flowers were just right in that season, but I didn't have the heart to appreciate them at all. All I wanted was to go back to the palace.

Dragging heavy steps, I walked all the way in the direction of the sun, and I was about to walk out of the garden, but I just heard someone talking, so I could only hide under the fence and dare not move.

"Then Aunt Shen doesn't know what's wrong, the general spoiled her so much, why did she commit suicide without making a sound!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, what do you know, I heard that Aunt Shen was discovered by the general because of her affair with someone, and she probably committed suicide because she had no face to face others, maybe..."

The voice stopped suddenly, I thought it was because those two people found me, and when they didn't know what to do, the voice lowered and spoke again.

"Maybe it was the general who did it. Think about it, which man would allow himself to be cuckolded, let alone the dignified Fuguo general!"

"But Aunt Shen has a gentle temper and hardly ever leaves the yard, so how could she have an affair with someone? I'm afraid this is a rumor made by someone?"

"What do you know, the general found a secret passage in the Chenxiang Pavilion early this morning, it is estimated that the general has already entered the secret passage to settle accounts with that adulterer."

"That……".

"You two little hoofs, who lent you the courage to come here and gossip about the general, catch me, and wait to be handed over to Madam."

"Madam Su, we..."

I didn't dare to move, and when the person named Su Mama took away the two little girls who had spoken before, I didn't dare to poke my head out until I couldn't hear the footsteps.

It turned out that the place where I was was actually the mansion of General Fuguo, the mansion of General Shangguan, so what the two little girls said just now, the one I and Concubine Yu saw before should be Aunt Shen, but Aunt Shen is dead?

How can I die?When I saw that woman before, she still had a slight smile, she looked very playful and cute, but she was only in her early twenties, how can she be gone if she is gone!

I sneaked out of the garden and walked out cautiously all the way, but the Shangguan mansion is too big, I went around for a long time but couldn't go out, thinking of what the two little girls said, General Shangguan had discovered the secret Dao, I was afraid that my mother would be implicated in this matter, so I simply stopped looking for the Chenxiang Pavilion, and went back to the original path and entered the secret path.

This time I went smoothly, there was no delay along the way, but I reached the end of the secret passage in half an hour, but I didn't know how to open the secret passage, so I could only rub against the wall by luck, but it was not as smooth as before. After dawdling for about half an hour, the secret door of the secret passage was opened.

After I came out, I couldn't wait to run in the direction of the Sparrow Feather Palace, but when I ran to the outside of the palace, I happened to see groups of soldiers coming out carrying things. I hid in the dark to check, and found that the soldiers What was being carried turned out to be a corpse. Although the corpse was covered with a white cloth, I could tell from the exposed hands and feet that those corpses belonged to Amei, Xiaoyuzi, and Atu.

I covered my mouth, not daring to make any noise, and when the soldiers disappeared, I stumbled into the gate of the temple, only to find a mess and blood all over the place.

I searched from room to room, the whole Sparrow Feather Palace was like a ghostly hell, none of the people who faced me day and night were gone, Concubine Yu seemed to have evaporated from the world, what happened?
I didn't know who to ask for an answer. I stood in the middle of the hall blankly, not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Yes, the empress must have hid in a secret passage, for sure."

I said this to myself, although I knew it was just self-deception, but if I didn't say that to myself, I might really have no way to live.

I re-entered the secret passage, and walked forward frantically, ignoring the shoes on my feet falling off, and not caring about the blood dripping from my fingertips, I only had one thought, to find Concubine Yu.

"Someone!"

The sudden sound in the dark startled me, I reflexively wanted to retreat, but I couldn’t move, a cold light rushed towards my face, I wanted to turn around to avoid it, and the cold light fell on my face On my back, I even heard the sound of bones breaking.

I don't feel afraid, if I die, I will be able to find Concubine Yu, but I didn't obey Concubine Yu's words, and I couldn't live a good life.

That person may be too conceited of his own skills, or he may be contemptuous of people like me, but he didn't check to see if I was dead, so he walked away.

My eyes went dark and I passed out.

I don't know how long it has passed since I was drowsy, and the nightmare is full of the face of Concubine Yu, smiling softly, especially when she said to me "to live" at the end.

I really survived, the knife cut into my back, and even almost cut into my internal organs, but I did not die, as my mother said, I survived, but my eyes became very blurred, Can't really see anything, but at least I'm alive, and I have to figure out what's going on.

Enduring the severe pain, I hid in a utility room in the Temple of Sparrow Feather. During the day, I hid in a box to sleep, and at night I sneaked into the imperial dining room to steal some food.

When the wound on my back started to heal slowly, I started to sneak out of the Queyu Palace to inquire about the news, and then I gradually realized that Concubine Yu, including the servants and servants in the Queyu Palace, were ordered by the emperor The one who died was accused of concubine Yu's vicious mind and murder of the royal heir, a crime that cannot be punished.

I think it's really absurd, Yu Fei is not even willing to hurt an ant, how could she murder the royal heir!

And I also know that because of my sudden disappearance, the emperor sent people to secretly search for me in the palace, but for some reason, he suddenly withdrew his staff a few days ago. I guess, it should be the person I met in the secret passage who told me After I heard the emperor's 'death news', I don't know why the emperor didn't send someone to the secret channel to verify.

Although the wound on my back that was cut by a knife gradually healed, it left a sequelae, that is, my back can no longer be straightened, I can only walk with my back bent, and it is not easy to raise my head. I know that I should be It's great to be disabled, but to be alive!

I began to expand the scope of my activities, and gradually went to other palaces other than the Sparrow Feather Palace, because my foreign trade has changed a lot, and I simply made my face dirty on purpose, so that sometimes I pretend to be wrong Ye Xiang's servants were no longer so conspicuous.

Finally one day, I hid behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden and heard the conversation between two people.

"Is the emperor persecuting his subjects?"

"Just treat it as persecution."

"Although you are the son of heaven and your ministers are ministers, the emperor's request avoids some difficulties. Even though the Shen family is a concubine, the minister accepted it openly. Once you enter the door of the Shangguan mansion, you will be a member of the Shangguan mansion. Regardless of life or death, now the emperor wants to take away Shen's body, and I will not obey my orders!"

"You... Are you blaming me?"

"I dare not, I just beg the emperor not to mention this matter again."

"Don't dare? You blamed me for marrying Yuan Yu into the palace, so you welcomed Shen Yuner into the house as a concubine. You clearly know that... you are very courageous!"

"Since the emperor married Yuan Yu into the palace, he should treat her kindly, but now...the minister is not worthy of being a concubine Yu, the most is the heartless emperor's family, the minister has nothing to say."

"Shangguan Congyun, don't disobey me again and again because of my love for you. This world belongs to me. Whoever I want will be born, and whoever I want will die. Yuan Yu is delusional. She shouldn't Delusional stuff, so she must die!"

"Does the emperor want even his ministers to be executed?"

"Don't force me!"

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, I, Shangguan Congyun, have been with the Emperor since I was 12 years old. I started as an imperial guard, went all the way to the Hussar Battalion, the Northwest Camp, the Black Eagle Army, and finally took over the Qingyun Army. Fighting for 15 years, there were countless sword wounds on his body. The emperor was forced into the palace by the four princes that day. This place is less than an inch away from your heart, Your Majesty, is this minister really forcing you?"

I heard Shangguan Congyun's voice full of depression and struggle like tearing, the emperor's breathing became heavy, I dare not breathe out, the emperor and general Shangguan both know martial arts, if I am not careful, I may be doomed.

"Cong Yun, how could I not know that you fought each other all the way and protected each other with your life, but you and I are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends, and we are both men. I couldn't protect Yun'er when she was alive. Could it be that I can't be satisfied when I'm dead? Is it her wish, she doesn't want to stay in the Shangguan Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, all you miss is Shen. As for Concubine Yu, she is so innocent. She has been used as your shield since entering the palace, and she washes her face with tears every day. In the end, what did you get? It's all yours." The paper imperial decree bears infamy even after death."

"Her mistake was that she shouldn't have gone to see Yun'er behind my back. Without her, Yun'er would still be alive and well. She was just paying for Yun'er's life!"

"Since the emperor said so, the minister has nothing to say. Shen's body is parked in the Chenxiang Pavilion. If the emperor wants to, he can step over the minister's corpse!"

"What are you awkward about? You know that Yuan Yu doesn't have you in her heart at all, okay, okay, don't you want to know where Yuan Yu is buried, let me tell you."

After that, the emperor's voice became very low, and I couldn't hear it even though I tried my best.

"Also, this is the soldier talisman of the Qingyun Army. I will give it to you today. You should know that the Qingyun Army only recognizes soldier talismans but not people. I have given you half of the country!"

"What is the emperor doing, compensation to the minister, or do you want to exchange this soldier talisman for Shen's body?"

"Whatever you think, I just want you to know that no matter what, I will always trust you in my heart as always, and this will never change."

……

"The minister will seal the back garden and the Chenxiang Pavilion, and Shen's body will be carried out of the mansion tomorrow afternoon. The emperor will see what to do!"

I didn't come out from behind the rockery until the sound of the two people's footsteps gradually faded away. The numbness and tingling in my legs were far less intense than the shock in my heart. I reorganized the news I heard in my mind , but still find it incredible.

But I didn't have time to think about it. The emperor told General Shangguan the place where Concubine Yu was buried. I had to find a way to track the general's whereabouts. I don't even know the place of my mother's burial.

I tried my best to bribe the little Shuanzi who pulled Yexiang, hid under the frame of the carriage and went out of the palace together, and arrived at the Shangguan mansion. I didn't dare to enter the mansion, so I guarded the gate of the mansion. Later, I saw General Shangguan Left the house alone.

I followed closely all the way, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I followed all the way tremblingly until I reached Wutong Mountain outside the city. As if waiting for me, whenever I felt too strenuous to walk, General Shangguan would slow down, and when I regained my strength, he would start walking again.

The two of us arrived halfway up the mountain one after the other. General Shangguan stopped in front of a new grave. The grave was very simple, just a pile of loess, and there were no words on the tombstone.

"Come out, your mother is right here!"

I was taken aback, but knew that my whereabouts were indeed exposed, but for some reason I didn't feel scared, presumably it was because the empress was by my side.

"You're lucky, but that's good, someone will sweep your master's tomb in the future!"

I didn't answer, I just looked at the bare tomb in front of me, I couldn't imagine that a woman who was so overwhelmed by the country and the city would be buried here, such a woman who spoke softly to me was buried in the soil like a residual autumn flower , never come back.

The hope for many days was completely shattered at this moment. I threw myself in front of the grave and began to cry desperately. I didn't know that I had so many tears, as if I couldn't stop crying.

General Shangguan stood behind me without making a sound, just watching me cry until I collapsed from crying and had no strength left.

"Yuanyu saw the right person, you are indeed loyal! Your name is Ayi, right? I remember you!"
I nodded stupidly, General Shangguan actually knew my name, did the empress tell him?I have been by Niangniang's side for more than a year, almost never leaving her except for sleeping, how come I don't know what kind of relationship between Niangniang and General Shangguan!
"Go back, Yuan Yu wants you to live, so you can live well, don't ask anything, don't think about anything, the less you know, the longer you can live!"

I don't know why, but I walked down the mountain obediently. When I turned my head, General Shangguan's figure was a little blurred, but although my eyes couldn't see clearly, my ears were very sensitive. I actually heard Shangguan's voice. General suppressed the cry.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Is the relationship between General Shangguan and Niangniang so good?
I seem to have been forgotten by others. When I returned to the palace, Yuque Palace had already become a veritable cold palace, and various rumors spread in the harem, saying that the ghost of Concubine Yu was still there, The servants are also wandering around the hall all day long, the rumors are really scary, I have stayed in the Sparrow Feather Hall for several years, but I have never seen anyone come in.

……

Shangguan Ning had been listening quietly. The room was originally very quiet, but at this moment the old woman stopped talking, and even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard in the room.

Shangguan Ning's heart was beating violently. She never thought that the secret passage of Shangguan Mansion was used by the emperor to have an affair with Shangguan Mansion's aunt, nor did she think that the reason why her great-grandfather ordered the back garden closed was to cover up the scandal.

Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?
In the old woman's narration, she said that she didn't know the relationship between several people, but Shangguan Ning guessed roughly. Since the Concubine Yu was found as a prisoner from the enemy's camp back then, it was very likely that Shangguan Jin had also seen her before. Maybe Shangguan Jin saw Concubine Yu earlier than the emperor.

With Concubine Yu's alluring beauty, no man can remain indifferent. The emperor is the emperor after all, and there is no room for him to return whoever he wants. At that time, the great-grandfather could only watch helplessly as the woman he liked followed the emperor into the palace. .
