Chapter 163: Qingtian Own Overnight Road (Part 2) (3)

Brother Zhao was taken aback, then looked at me puzzledly: "I heard that the clothing bureau is very hard. You are here. It's better to be here. Although you can't eat and wear well, you won't be so hard."

I shook my head: "Only the coat bureau, I got in as another person. That person is already twenty-three. If within two years, I cannot return to my original position, I can also put it Go out to find my relatives."

Brother Zhao understood: "Yes, only the palace staff in the coat of arms will be released when they are twenty-five years old, regardless of whether they have relatives outside."

I looked at him deeply and didn't want to hide it anymore.

"Brother Zhao, I think, you probably guessed who I am."

Brother Zhao clearly shivered, his eyes looked a little more fearful when he looked at me, "I dare not say."

I smiled: "Brother Zhao is my savior. Just don’t tell me, I will tell you today so that you can feel at ease here. Even if I can’t go back and leave the palace, my family can let you have A good future."

"You are Ling Xiang's daughter." Brother Zhao whispered: "It's also..."

I shook my head: "Nothing, I'm just Ling Xiang's daughter. So you know, if anyone knows that you saved me, or knows that I still exist, then they might be against you."

"Are you talking about the moon nobleman?" Brother Zhao asked.

A sneer appeared on my lips: "No, I mean any imperial concubine."

Brother Zhao nodded: "I understand, don't worry. Even if I have been here for the rest of my life, there is nothing to complain about. So, you should do your own thing well, and if you have free time, just think of it and help me. I can’t remember, it’s nothing."

I handed him a brocade bag in my hand: "This is my little savings now, you take it, if I really can't succeed, this is my thanks. If I succeed, this is with me. Say, but it doesn't count anything."

Brother Zhao insisted not to accept it: "You can't do without the money when you go to the coat of arms, you can collect it yourself.

I forced him: "Brother Zhao, I hope that from today until you leave here, I will forget that you have met me."

Brother Zhao sighed, thought about it, and wanted to accept it. Before leaving, he said: "The guard of the coat bureau is my fellow villager, his surname is Wan, and his name is Wanquan. If you need me to do anything, let him tell me. Okay." He smiled softly: "The guards of Fanshi are nothing good, but there is one thing everyone envy, that is, it is convenient to go out of the palace. After all, there is no relationship between oil and water."

I silently jotted it down in my heart, looking at Brother Zhao's plain face, and solemnly said: "Brother Zhao, I believe that good people are rewarded."

Brother Zhao "hehe" smiled, scratched his head and said: "Okay, it's too early, you clean up, I guess it will be over tomorrow morning." He paused and said, "Take care!"

I pursed my lips and nodded.

In the days to come, I really have to take care of myself!

That night, I packed up the few pieces of clothes, the silver and some jewelry that Yi Zhaorong gave me, and went to the lake to wash them carefully, thinking that in the days to come, I will try again to do something I have never done before It may be hard or difficult, but there is finally hope after all. Although I was a little nervous in my heart, joy occupies most of it, and it took a while to fall asleep.

The next day was a fine weather. I thought Huier would come early in the morning, and she would sit on the stone steps outside the hall with her baggage early, but until the sun set on the western wall, she still disappeared. My heart sank a little bit with the dimming of the light, and great anxiety surged up, and my heart beat fiercely. That kind of uneasiness is not worrying about not being able to go to the clothing bureau, but as if something has happened to someone in my heart, and the uneasy connection makes me uneasy.

Watching the moon rise, the curfew in the palace is already at this time, and Hui Er will definitely not come. I didn't want to go back to the room. I just stood on the highest step and looked at the flying corners of the palace on the other side of the lake. My heart beat more and more.

Finally, there was a cry of sadness, and the lanterns were turned on for the first time in each palace, and the palace lanterns, like the same team of fireflies, went in one direction.

I fixed my gaze in the distance. The place where the lights converge is Ci Ning Palace of the Queen Mother.

My heart suddenly seemed to have been cut off, and with the faint crying from the lake, my tears couldn't stop falling.

When the night was dark, white lanterns were hung in the palaces, and the sound of chanting and crying was endless, which seemed to be coming from the Jiuyou Difu in the rustling wind, which made people palpitate.

Because I had no filial piety, I took off a blue-pigmented outer garment on my body, wearing only the inner shirt, lighting a lamp like a bean, and silently chanting "The Curse of Death". This is my daughter-in-law, and the only thing I can be the queen mother Done.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and there was a soft but rapid knock on the door from outside the courtyard. I didn't sleep all night, but I was still in good spirits, so I hurried over to open the door.

I saw Brother Zhao raised a bamboo basket, saw me open the door, and hurriedly handed it to me. The guard robe on his body was covered with off-white linen, hemp rope was tied around his waist, and his hat was changed to white, which was exactly what Shouxiao was wearing.

The bamboo basket was used by Brother Zhao to deliver meals to me in the past. I took it and opened it. As expected, it contained five thick noodle buns and two plates of pickles.

Brother Zhao looked around, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The empress dowager suddenly became ill the night before. Yesterday, during the day, the masters of all palaces were guarded in Cining Palace. I miss you yesterday. I won’t be able to go to the coat bureau. I’ll give you something to eat."

I nodded: "Thank you Brother Zhao."

Brother Zhao was about to say something when he suddenly found me dressed in plain clothes, and his voice lowered: "It seems that you already know."

I held back the tears in the corner of my eyes, and only firmly tightened the handle of the bamboo basket.

Brother Zhao sighed, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the coat bureau for a while. Now that I am so busy everywhere, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to come in these two days." He pointed to the bamboo basket: "The time is too short, I can only give you something to eat, you will pass these two days first, and I will find another opportunity."

I tried my best to make the corners of my mouth curl up: "Thank you Brother Zhao for bothering, these are enough for me to use for two or three days. You are busy with errands."

He said hurriedly with a "huh": "I have to go. The emperor has ordered that all the people in the old palace who have passed away will be buried for the Queen Mother."

My heart jumped: "All?"

Brother Zhao nodded, his tone was pity, fear, and deep helplessness. After all, no matter how abandoned people are, there are still lives.

"Fortunately, you left early." Brother Zhao sighed: "The emperor gave an order that all the concubines in the past will be buried for the Queen Mother."

As if the twelfth lunar month was poured down by a basin of ice water, all? Shen Xiyao personally sent me to Fansi. He did this to count me in the burial? Or, he has forgotten that there is still Ling Xuewei in Fan Shi?

I laughed at myself, yeah, the queen mother collapsed, the queen couldn't stand the blow, and followed the queen mother, this is such a high-sounding reason, no one can find a loophole.

Shen Xiyao now has a new favorite, a woman like Yi Zhaorong who is so elegant and graceful, without the background of a high school, and will not be constrained by the emperor, so she is naturally the best candidate for the concubine. At the same time, the woman he really admired, Concubine Liu was always by his side. And beautiful young women, in this harem, have never been less.

A woman like my family who once held him back and made him unable to let go; I was a woman who turned his back on him and tried to kill him; I was a woman who separated the friendship between him and his best brother, and How could he stay in his heart again? However, there has been no suitable opportunity to remove it.

If this is the case, then, will I still be successful when I return to my original position, and will it still make sense?
