Si Tian Guan

The wind during the day was already as cold as a knife cutting, and after nightfall, the cold was everywhere and irresistible.

Qu Chenzhou took off his official uniform, leaving only a thin layer of jacket, and knelt under the stone steps outside the Nuan Pavilion, with his long hair scattered all over his body.

When the emperor came out of Nuan Pavilion with Yu Dexi, he rewarded him with a cloak - after all, what the emperor wanted was his submission, not his life.

He took the cloak, only kowtowed, without saying anything, Emperor Yu only waited for a moment, then rushed away angrily.

No wonder Du Quan said he was stinky and tough, such a character is really not likable at any time.

The cloak couldn't block the coolness from the ground, but it kept him awake all the time.

In fact, he knows what to do is the best. At this time, disobedience to the emperor is the most stupid thing to do. It is very easy to please the emperor, but it is just a grievance...

But he has been wronged too much in other places, and he wants to treat himself better in this matter alone.

The note written in blood, the cold ice and snow that year, had completely cut off his thoughts.

Not to mention that there are still people who don't want him to wrong themselves.

After he was scolded to kneel down, there were always high and low disputes in the Snapper.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Chongming to persuade the emperor to take in the four members of the Qu family in another courtyard, so it is not easy to intervene, but this time, he can invite the elder Cui, who is about to retire and return to his hometown, to have a lot of benefits There is room for persuading the emperor.

In the letter left to him, Chongming repeatedly asked

——"You must insist that you don't know them, and leave everything to me later."

Now that he is kneeling here on the surface, the battlefield behind the scenes has shifted to Wu'an Mansion.

After the flooding of Changshui Town, not many people were able to return alive, so the household registration yellow book of Changshui Town was directly under the management of Wu'an Mansion.

And the black and white writing on the household registration yellow book is the only proof of the origin of the Qu family couple.

As soon as he learned of Zhuangzi's attack, Chongming sent Fang Wuyang to Wu'an Mansion with a pegasus with his waist card.

Mu Jingyan is an evil ghost who knows how to poke and hurt people, and he has won this point perfectly - after all, Chongming can't just sit idly by and ignore his affairs.

Next, they need to cheer up [-]% of their energy to prevent this fatal news from leaking to the ears of the emperor.

With the palace lantern behind him from far to near, the shadow cast in front of him gradually became clearer.

"Qu Sitian."

He didn't turn around, and he knew who it was just by hearing the voice.

"The night is cold and the wind is cool." The palace skirt slowly moved in front of him, and Concubine Yu signaled the maid beside her to lower the tray: "Have a cup of ginseng tea to warm you up."

Qu Chenzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the ground: "Now that I am a sinner, I dare not accept your mother's kindness."

Concubine Yu signaled the maid to bring the tea closer, and sighed in pity.

"Qu Sitian, the emperor loved you all the time. Now that the empress dowager has passed away not long ago, it's the time when the emperor is sick with grief. Seeing your family reunion, he naturally wants to make a match. Why do you want to live up to the emperor's wishes?"

"Xie Niangniang is relieved, but I don't know them, let alone this 'family reunion', how do we recognize each other?" Qu Chenzhou didn't go to pick up the tea, and slowly raised his eyes.

Under his gaze, Concubine Yu couldn't help but take two steps back, and immediately reacted and shouted: "What do you want to do?"

"The night is cold and the wind is cool, my lady should go back early." Under the reflection of the lantern, the pair of monster eyes glowed strangely, and then slightly curved into crescent moons: "I see... there are still people waiting for my lady to go back."

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Concubine Yu raised her hand, she heard someone reprimand: "Who is there?"

The voice was even more familiar, she hurriedly put down her hands, and saluted: "Madam, this concubine will send some ginseng soup to Nuannuan for Qu Sitian."

"Ginseng soup?" Liu Qingru grinned, raised her hand, and overturned the entire tray on the ground: "The emperor ordered him to kneel here to reflect on himself, not for him to enjoy the blessings. Go back to me!"

Concubine Yu didn't dare to do it again, she glanced at Qu Shenzhou, unwilling to leave.

It wasn't until the people behind Liu Qingru scattered around, forming a quiet circle, that Qu Chenzhou said in a low voice, "Thank you, Niang Niang, for helping me save the siege."

Liu Qingru sighed softly: "Shen Zhou, Chongming told me that you are reconciled, I am really happy for you, if you don't dislike him, just follow him and call me sister."

"..." Qu Chenzhou's eyes were sour, and he called softly, "Sister."

"Okay, good brother," Liu Qingru stretched out his hand to help him, dipped the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, looked around, and said softly, "Chongming asked me to explain something to you."

"After you left the Nuan Pavilion today, Mr. Cui, Minister of Dali Temple, asked them some questions. They said that they had been locked up for several years and had no worries about food and clothing, but they didn't know who did it."

"Elder Cui asked some tricky questions, but none of them could answer them."

"The emperor didn't say anything at first, but Mr. Cui and Ling He both said that there was something strange about it. They have always been strict in doing things. Later, Jing Chen and Lin agreed, and the emperor sent someone to Wu'an Mansion."

"Chongming also made a yellow book of household registration elsewhere for them. Sooner or later, there will be a saying that he will try his best to keep them. You don't have to worry."

"Where are they..." Qu Chenzhou asked in a low voice.

"There was nowhere to go, and it was like a hot potato. After Chongming, the emperor also agreed, and only said that Chongming is not allowed to mess around."

Qu Shenzhou nodded slightly.

Liu Qingru sighed: "Don't hold on, you should faint if you should. The emperor was contradicted by you during the day, and he became angry from embarrassment, but he couldn't leave you. If you gave him a step, he would go down. Now is not the time for conflict. Don't take advantage of others."

Seeing that she wanted to leave, Qu Chenzhou hurriedly held onto the corner of her skirt: "Sister, I have something to bring to Chongming."

Liu Qingru stood still: "What?"

"They sold me into slavery, I would never recognize them, but brother and sister..."

Qu Chenzhou lowered his head slightly, and his throat choked: "After all, I am innocent. I may not be able to hide the matter between me and Chongming from King Huai. If King Huai cannot compete with Chongming in Wu'an Mansion, I am afraid that the yellow book has not yet arrived, and it is still in the hands of King Huai. Those two have no hope of surviving..."

Liu Qing knew it clearly, and comforted softly: "I will notify Chong Ming and Shi Yan and let them find a way."

"Sister, today I tried to make a divination for them. Please tell Chongming—in the southwestern part of the capital, the fireworks at Xiliu are on the moon, and he should be able to figure out where to look."

"Don't worry, I will tell him," Liu Qingru asked cautiously, "Shen Zhou, what do you want to do afterwards?"

"...Send me away...Never see you again..." Qu Chenzhou quickly wiped his face with his cuff, avoiding the subject: "Sister, do you have a Suo Ye in your hand?"

Liu Qingru's eyes flickered slightly: "That's right, how do you want to use it?"

"Concubine Yu...it's time for my sister."

Concubine Yu hurried all the way back to Chaoyang Palace, choking her throat with suffocation and nervousness, which made her breathe quickly.

Qu Chenzhou's words lingered in his ears like a curse - there are still people waiting for the empress... There are still people waiting for the empress.

She let out a short scream, staggered a step, stepped on the hem of her skirt, and was about to fall forward.

The maid on one side quickly supported her, and on the other side, there was also a pair of hands supporting her firmly.

There was indeed someone waiting for her, and every once in a while, someone would be waiting here for her.

"Your Majesty..." The man's hoarse voice had long since lost the magnetism of a man, as if broken pieces of porcelain were scratching the ground: "My Lady, be careful."

The maid recognized the man, she let go of her hand naturally, and let the man help the trembling Concubine Yu into the inner room.

"Three Blessings..." Concubine Yu called him in a trembling voice, as if she wanted to find a sense of reality in the voice, but when the man answered "Hey", she suddenly became frightened and annoyed, and kicked him. chest.

San Fu was squatting on the ground, holding her ankle with just this one foot, slowly taking off her shoes and socks.

Concubine Yu couldn't shake it off several times, and she gave up struggling, and she sat down on the bed with tears in her eyes, watching the rough hands rubbing along her calf.

The palace skirt hadn't been taken off yet, but the obscene pants underneath were thrown on the ground.

This person is so familiar with her habits and movements, even the soft cushion behind her is placed in the right place.

She raised her head and panted slightly, completely ignoring that the hairpin she had not taken off was entangled in the messy bun.

She has been in the deep palace for so long, the number of times the emperor has come can be counted on the fingers, she is also a woman, there is no other consolation, there is always someone who has seen her most hidden place.

This is the most secretive thing about her, even her son doesn't know about it, but those demon eyes seem to be mocking her, seeing through everything.

She couldn't concentrate, she couldn't stop thinking, the happiness she should have had turned into torture, but she couldn't bear to give up.

After a long time, after hearing her long breath, Sanfu came out from under the palace skirt, and wanted to linger on Wuxu's cheek for a moment, but she kicked him suddenly and fell to the ground.

"Go! Go!"

Xu Shi was at her most vulnerable moment when Concubine Yu suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly: "What have I become! What have I become!"

San Fu didn't seem to have seen her collapse, so he went to the table and brought water over: "Ma'am, are you thirsty?"

The teacup was knocked over on the ground, and she was so choked up that she couldn't say a complete sentence: "Go away...you go back to me..."

From time to time, San Fu saw her like this a lot, and instead of leaving, he just sighed and put away the teacup.

"Mother, why are you crying? Anyway, I don't need anything, just look at me."

"What's wrong with you!" Concubine Yu suddenly scolded, "It's not because of me that you became like this! Didn't I arrange for you to hide properly! You are worthless!"

"Am I worthless? If it wasn't for you, how could I become the person I am now!"

Sanfu raised his voice and was also a little excited: "I'm useless now, you despise me! At the beginning you were pestering me all night! You didn't say anything to me! Can that person do it!"

"Shut up!" Concubine Yu also seemed to be crazy, and leaned her back softly towards him: "Shut up!"

The room suddenly became quiet, only her sobbing under the quilt remained.

In this deep palace, there is so much hysteria that there is nowhere to vent, and there is no way to vent.

San Fu seemed to be numb, so he stepped forward without avoiding suspicion, changed her clothes and pants, helped her into the quilt and lay down, stood with hands down for a while, and suddenly asked: "Did you ask someone to do it when you go out tonight?" gone?"

Concubine Yu was suddenly furious, and slapped him across the face: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He covered his face and took a few steps back, then continued dumbly: "I won't do it now, and that person won't come, did you go out to find someone? Who is it? The soldier patrolling the palace is still that Qu Sitian, I've heard people say that he's so pretty..."

"Zhou Huaishan! You're crazy!" Concubine Yu was trembling with rage, and when she put her toes on the ground, she found that even her legs were limp: "In your eyes, am I just a slut?"

Sanfu looked at her: "But I spent a long time tonight..."

Concubine Yu's cheeks were flushed with shame, but she knew that with his stubbornness and suspicion, any explanation would be useless. If she told the truth that she went to see Qu Chenzhou, let alone explain clearly, her face turned cold immediately.

"Zhou Huaishan, make it clear that I am a concubine, not your concubine! Where I go, don't worry about it!"

Sanfu stared at her like a wolf, and she couldn't help but think of her own son with his gaze - they were indeed his own father and son, and they both frightened her so much.

"These few days..." Afraid of completely angering people, she hurriedly softened her voice and asked, "Did Jing Yan come to see you?"

Upon hearing this name, San Funa relaxed his posture of rushing people, his eyes became cloudy, his lips moved for a while, and he suddenly smiled.

"Jing Yan...well, well."

He said three good things in a row, and remained silent for a long time before he sighed: "If it wasn't for Jing Yan, what's the point of keeping my life, but he... when will he call me daddy..."
