Fingers of crossing

Jiang Ningzui's clothes were wet from the rain, she didn't seem to notice it, and looked at Liu Huanxue with slightly frowned eyes, speechless for a while.

The sound of pattering rain filled the space between the two, neither of them spoke, and time seemed to stand still and freeze.

After thinking about it carefully in her mind, Jiang Ningzui was convinced that she had never heard of Concubine Lian's name, so she couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious when Liu Huanxue mentioned such a person at this time.

"The wall has ears, so I'm sorry I can't say too much." Liu Huanxue carefully looked around, looking back at Jiang Ningzui's expression became anxious again. "But sister, please believe me, I will definitely not joke about Chi Wei's life."

Jiang Ningzui believed the last sentence.

Maybe Liu Huanxue has thousands of schemes and tricks to play with, but judging from her thoughts on Chi Wei, even if she had a chance to interfere with it at this time, she definitely didn't have the thought and spare energy.

"I know about this matter, and I will definitely find out. As for..." Jiang Ningzui's conversation changed, her eyes glanced at Liu Huanxue lightly, and said: "As for whether Chi Wei can be saved, I can't guarantee it."

Liu Huanxue nodded her head twice, and said, "If I have my sister's promise, I will be grateful."

"Go back." Jiang Ningzui didn't intend to say more, she turned her head slightly behind Liu Huanxue, and said: "In the current situation, it will be useless for you to wait outside Fengyi Palace. Since you can even watch life and death Come on, why bother to be attached to this?"

Liu Huanxue was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Jiang Ningzui's words, she replied after a while: "I understand."

Liu Huanxue turned and left, Jiang Ningzui stood in the same place and watched her dragging her heavy back farther and farther indifferently, in the torrential rain, her thin body was crumbling, Jiang Ningzui watched her light figure melt into the rain , slowly turning into a blurred point, disappearing from sight.

Looking at it, Jiang Ningzui felt a bit of astringency in her heart for no reason.

In this palace, there are conspiracies and tricks hidden everywhere, and it is rare to see such affection and sincerity.It's a pity that this relationship went wrong from the very beginning. Today, it seems that there is really no other way to achieve both ends except death.

"Miss."

Liu Huanxue had been away from Fengyi Palace for a long time, when Qingfu saw Jiang Ningzui still standing alone in the rain, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, so she came over to find out.She softly called Jiang Ningzui, then respectfully took the umbrella in her hand, and said in a low voice: "It's rainy and cold, your empress should hurry back to the palace."

Jiang Ningzui came back to her senses when she heard the sound, she silently glanced at Qing Fu beside her, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

The two returned to the Qiluan Hall one after the other, Jiang Ningzui's figure suddenly stopped outside the hall, she looked up at the golden lacquered door, with a hesitant expression, unable to move for a long time.

What should I say if I saw Yan Yilan?Confess, or hide?But Jiang Ningzui knew what kind of person Yan Yilan was, and she was not sure that she could hide it.

Taking a deep breath secretly, Jiang Ningzui walked into the Qiluan Hall, and saw Yan Yilan half-sitting leaning against the window lattice from a distance, her bright red phoenix dress was swaying on the ground, and her previously strong and coquettish eyebrows reflected the dark and misty eyes outside the window. The weather was pale and dull. From a distance, it looked like a phoenix with folded feathers, and it felt a little weak and coquettish.

Silently approaching Yan Yilan, Jiang Ningzui had obviously slowed down her steps, but she still didn't escape Yan Yilan's ears. She turned her head halfway and said, "Are they gone?"

"gone."

The pain in her shoulder greatly restricted Yan Yilan's movements. She looked down at the hideous scar on the palm of her left hand, and then slowly tightened her five fingers to hide the scar under the shadow.Looking back at Jiang Ningzui, Yan Yilan asked again: "How did you persuade Liu Huanxue to leave?"

Jiang Ningzui's eyes were calm, she looked back at Yan Yilan, was silent for a moment, and said: "I..."

"The Empress is here."

Jiang Ningzui's words were abruptly interrupted by the internal officer's announcement, her heart shuddered, and she quickly looked at Yan Yilan, only to see that Yan Yilan had just turned back towards the hall, lowering her head and straightening her clothes calmly.At the end, she looked up at Jiang Ningzui and smiled narrowly.

"Do you think the queen mother really doesn't know that you are in my bedroom? Is it too late to think of hiding at this time?"

Yan Yilan's words were obviously full of jokes, Jiang Ningzui gave her a cold look, but she didn't have the heart to respond to her joke, because she had already detected Queen Ning's figure outside the Qiluan Hall , a group of palace people followed her, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the main hall.

After all, it was the concubine mother, even Yan Yilan had to restrain herself, she stood up slowly, walked forward to meet Queen Ning's figure, and said, "Queen mother."

Jiang Ningzui immediately understood Yan Yilan's call, and saluted, "Join the Queen Mother."

Empress Ning was not in a hurry to reply, she glanced at Yan Yilan and Jiang Ningzui gracefully and calmly, her gaze rested on Jiang Ningzui for a while, then passed them both, and walked towards the main seat.

"Get up." Sitting on top of the main hall, Empress Ning softly made Jiang Ning drunk, her eyes fell on Yan Yilan, her voice softened slowly: "I heard from the imperial doctor that the weather has been repeated these days, and we met again. In the rainy season, your wounds are starting to make trouble again?"

"It's just a small injury, the queen mother really doesn't need to go this trip in person."

As Yan Yilan said, she followed Queen Ning's guidance and walked towards the main seat. When she passed Jiang Ningzui, she glanced sideways in Jiang Ningzui's direction, and sat down beside Queen Ning silently.

Empress Ning listened expressionlessly, and finally said mercilessly: "But the Ai family sees you, it's not as simple as a minor injury."

After all, they are mother and child connected by flesh and blood, so how could Queen Ning not be able to tell whether Yan Yilan's words were true or not, and Queen Ning's words seemed to blame, but in fact they were all words of distress and care, which were even more palpable.

Jiang Ningzui has been standing quietly inside the main hall, until she noticed that Empress Ning's gaze was looking towards her calmly, and she suddenly regained her senses. When she looked back, Empress Ning's gaze fell on Yan Yilan's body made her start to have some doubts, not sure if Queen Ning's inquiring was just a momentary illusion of hers.

"Aijia came here this time, and there is actually one more thing to discuss with you."

Yan Yilan was not surprised to hear that Empress Ning said that, she teased: "I already knew that Empress Mother would not be so kind, so tell me, my son, listen."

Yan Yilan was used to having no rules or distances in the palace since she was a child, like a fierce horse galloping freely between heaven and earth, she has never been a master who can be easily disciplined and restrained.Therefore, now that she heard Yan Yilan's words so indifferent, Empress Ning didn't bother to correct her etiquette, but she was not in a hurry to explain why she came, but turned her attention to Jiang Ningzui.

Although the meaning of this look is cool and shallow, Jiang Ningzui can understand the meaningful message in it.

From just now, Jiang Ningzui felt that staying here was really awkward and weird, but now that she was hinted by Empress Ning's expression, she naturally knew how to avoid it.Thinking in this way, she took a few steps forward, saluted and said, "I'm going to make tea for my mother."

Since Empress Ning came to Qiluan Hall, she has never given Jiang Ningzui any good looks. Now that she heard her leave wisely, she turned her eyes to look at her, smiled, and replied: "Yes."

"Why bother the Crown Princess to do such a small thing as making tea?" Jiang Ningzui turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Yan Yilan's voice rang in her ears. She turned around in surprise and saw Yan Yilan walking towards the side The side seat tilted his head and said, "Come back, sit down."

Although she got Yan Yilan's order, Jiang Ningzui still didn't move, but silently looked at Empress Ning's attitude.She didn't want to go too far and offend Empress Ning.

It's a pity that whether Jiang Ningzui wants to or not, Empress Ning is indeed not in a happy mood right now.Glancing at the calm Yan Yilan beside her, there was a trace of displeasure on Empress Ning's usually dignified and elegant face.

A eccentric dead girl.

No wonder it's said that daughters don't want to stay in China when they grow up, isn't it?When Empress Ning thought about it, she couldn't help but get angry.If she had known that she would give birth to such a heartless daughter, she might as well have thrown the water out and married her as soon as possible, so that she would not be troubled now.

"Who did the eldest princess learn to protect her shortcomings from?"

Jiang Ningzui glanced at Yan Yilan, then at Queen Ning who asked with a sneer, even though she felt that the two were exactly the same in her heart, she would not be so stupid as to say the truth.Not wanting to cause the two people in the seat to quarrel because of herself, Jiang Ningzui replied before Yan Yilan: "Your servant will leave first."

Hearing what Jiang Ningzui said, Yan Yilan couldn't say anything more, she squinted her phoenix eyes slightly, and glanced in Jiang Ningzui's direction angrily, and didn't say any more words to persuade her to stay.

After Jiang Ningzui retreated, Empress Ning made a gesture to the maidservant behind her, and the maidservant and Bi Yuan nodded knowingly and retreated. The huge Qiluan Hall finally fulfilled Empress Ning's wish, and only she and Yan Yan were left. Yilan and the two of them.

"Everyone who should go is gone, what does the queen mother want to say?"

Empress Ning lightly picked up the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said: "Next month will be Aijia's birthday. A few days ago, you asked Aijia how to celebrate this year's birthday, but you also know that Aijia never likes extravagance and keeps things simple Just set it up."

Yan Yilan remained silent, but responded lightly.

Yan Yilan's silence was completely within Empress Ning's expectation, she put her gaze far away, and said: "In the past, every year when I mourned my family's birthday, the late Emperor and you would always pardon the world as a gift." Empress Ning said, He couldn't help but pause, turned his head to look at Yan Yilan, and continued: "According to the calculation, Concubine Lian has been in the cold palace for 20 years, and it's time to return her innocence."

Yan Yilan finally stopped being silent, she thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Everything will be done according to the Queen Mother's wishes."

Seeing that Yan Yilan didn't have the slightest objection, Empress Ning smiled gratifiedly, and said, "As for Chi Wei..."

"I won't bother my mother to worry about Chi Wei's affairs." After cutting off Empress Ning's words, Yan Yilan said in a cold voice, "It's just a small guard, so there is no need to disturb my mother to intervene in person."

The fingers that moved the beads stopped. Empress Ning hadn't seen Yan Yilan's decisive and strong appearance for a long time, and she couldn't help but replied coldly: "Although the Ai family has never intervened in the affairs of the court, if you want to keep a People, it’s not a difficult thing to be afraid of.”

Yan Yilan suddenly sneered, showing the majesty hidden in her eyes, she stared coldly at Empress Ning with her phoenix eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is the empress threatening your son?"

Every word of Yan Yilan's words hit Empress Ning's heart, threatening her daughter, she was also 1 heartbroken, but if she wanted to watch Yan Yilan order to kill, she would not agree no matter what .

"The crime of murdering the emperor's relatives in vain, how will you face the ancestors under the nine springs in the future?" Empress Ning's words seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. "She is your sister, how can you do it?"

The figure walking outside the Qiluan Hall suddenly stopped, Jiang Ningzui's hand holding the tray froze, almost spilling the tea in the cup out of the cup, she looked up at the closed door of the Qiluan Hall in amazement, Forgot to move for a long time.

A thunderbolt from the sky split behind him, making Jiang Ningzui's expression pale outside the backlit hall.
