Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Hanfang Palace

The emperor helped Long Baiyue up with a pleasant face, stared at her all the time, and said to the eunuch: "When will there be such a palace lady in Cuiying Palace, I pardoned her, you go down." Long Baiyue lowered her eyebrows and looked around from the corner of her eye, and saw that there were memorials on the table and books stacked on the shelf, which looked like an imperial study.She suddenly understood—the secret passage leading to the Cuiying Hall must have been built for the emperor's tryst with Princess Yunyang. Long Baiyue couldn't help feeling chills - he knew she was a palace maid of Cuiying Palace, but her expression was ordinary, as if Cuiying Palace had no special meaning to him.But he has obviously dug secret passages for the people in the palace, changed her identity for her, and killed countless people.

What a capricious imperial heart. The emperor dismissed the eunuchs on the ground, took Long Baiyue's hand, and happily ordered to the outside world: "Come here, come and drive Hanfang Hall." Several servants carried the imperial chariot on their shoulders and carried the emperor and Long Baiyue to Hanfang Hall.The cramped imperial chariot forced Long Baiyue to stay close to the emperor. She was terrified and trembling uncontrollably.Maybe she should behave more freely, so as not to disappoint the demeanor of the oiran in the past, but her mind was blank, and she could only scream repeatedly in her heart: he is Zi Mian's father, he is Zi Mian's father...

The emperor looked at Long Baiyue with great interest, and felt that her delicate and pitiful appearance was more charming than that of Concubine Yan, so he asked: "You just said, what is your name?" "Slave servant Long Baiyue..." Long Baiyue was so embarrassed that she shrunk down and hid further away, not daring to look at Longyan. "You don't have to be afraid." The emperor lowered his voice to comfort her, "I will take you to Hanfang Palace, and you will live there from now on." She is not afraid, Long Baiyue thought to herself: I am thinking about your son, how can I have the nerve to entertain you again, I have long since rehabilitated me...

Now that she has obtained a plan to delay the attack and avoid the pursuit, she has to find a way to escape. The imperial chariot traveled all the way to Hanfang Hall, Long Baiyue thought that the emperor had sent her here as an errand, but she didn't know which master he was serving. After getting off the imperial chariot, she found out that the Hanfang Hall was actually empty. The palace guards guarding Hanfang Palace came to kneel in fear, the emperor took Long Baiyue and nodded at them: "Is everyone taking care of this place?" "Return to your majesty, according to your majesty's instructions, the layout of the hall has not been changed, but it is cleaned from time to time."

The emperor was very satisfied, and ordered the palace servants to lead the way.Long Baiyue followed them into Hanfang Hall in a daze, and saw that the palace was magnificent, not inferior to Cuiying Hall, but its fate was the same as that of Cuiying Hall, there was no gold and silver vessels, the wooden utensils were dull and colorless, only curtains The mantle is made of high-grade materials, and it records the kind of favor the owner of the temple received that day. "It used to be Concubine Yan Gui lived here..." The emperor looked at Long Baiyue's face and nodded in satisfaction, "From now on, you will be the owner of this place."

Long Baiyue hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare." "Why don't you dare," the emperor laughed and pulled her up, "I still want to seal you..." Just when Long Baiyue didn't know how to refuse, the emperor's words were suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside the palace. A eunuch reported with a high-pitched voice: "The empress is here—" The emperor suddenly looked worried, and could only watch the queen's phoenix chariot stop outside the hall. "Her news is fast," the emperor said with a sneer, watching the empress who walked into the Hanfang Palace in a graceful manner, "Why did the empress come here?"

Empress Jiaren met with everyone, and said softly: "The concubine happened to pass by Hanfang Hall, and saw the emperor's chariot, so I came here to pay my respects." While speaking, her phoenix eyes turned around, and she saw Long Baiyue without accident, and said in surprise: "How does this maidservant look so much like Concubine Yan?" The queen pretended not to know herself, so Long Baiyue could only salute and reply: "Slave Long Baiyue, I have seen the queen." Seeing the queen's astonishment, the emperor was very proud, pulled Long Baiyue in front of the queen, and said with a smile: "How, is it very similar? When I saw her just now, I almost admitted my mistake."

"But she is not Concubine Yan after all," Empress Jiaren sneered, looked at the emperor and asked, "Where did the emperor meet her?" "Cuiying Palace, I happened to pass there too." The emperor glanced casually and said sarcastically. Empress Jiaren was annoyed in her heart, but she could only keep her face.She thought about asking about the secret way of Cuiying Hall, but according to the eunuch's report, they missed Long Baiyue, who she most wanted to get rid of, and she actually met the Holy Majesty directly through the secret way, this is the worst situation.Everything was disrupted by the secret passage that suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help guessing that the secret passage must have something to do with Concubine Hua Gui. It's a pity that she has been in charge of the harem for many years, but how many things have been kept in the dark.

But the Holy One actually lied in front of her so that she couldn't ask about the secret way.Accustomed to the Holy Majesty killing a batch of palace servants of the Cuiying Palace every few years, she only regarded it as punishment for Concubine Hua, or as a vent of the Holy Majesty's hatred.But she didn't think about it carefully, the confusing identity of Concubine Hua Guifei back then-was she a fox demon, and had she ever given birth to a civet cat or a prince?When the Prime Minister and Sihan Tianshi pushed her to the next position, she just felt that she had won a fluke, but she was so naive that she didn't ask any more questions, knowing it but not knowing why.

Now the appearance of the secret way made her wonder again—was Princess Yunyang really adopted by Liu Cairen to Concubine Hua?Sixteen years ago, she had done so neatly, Liu Cairen's mother and daughter should have died, but who would have thought that the dead baby would miraculously survive after being carried into the Cuiying Palace by the emperor's decree.Whether the emperor's decree is a sympathy or a cover, there is no proof.Yesterday, Princess Yunyang was taken away by Master Zixuan again, and she made up nonsense about her extraordinary talent, leading her to practice, and praying for the country, so she couldn't get along with her.She didn't take it to heart at first, but now she has to take it to heart.

Empress Jiaren gritted her silver teeth secretly, she was confused and confused but also had deep hatred and fear.She still remembers the elegant demeanor of Concubine Hua in those days, which once occupied so much of the Holy Majesty's nostalgia, making her so jealous that she couldn't sleep at night.She thought that the concubine Hua Gui being imprisoned in the cold palace would be the end of her nightmare. From then on, she could monopolize all the thoughts of the Holy Majesty as long as she made every step. Who did she win after all these years? She loved him for so many years, did he know?He is wise, powerful and domineering, and gentle and gentle when he was in the boudoir, even though he was no longer beautiful when he was young, she still loves his careless eyes, and loves him so much.From the moment she entered the palace, she knew that those in high positions would be jealous of him, and those in low positions would linger on because of this; she once suffered from it, but she still repeated the same mistakes. But he never gave her his heart, what a selfish man!Empress Jiaren laughed bitterly and said: "How can you not know the rules set by the Holy Majesty himself? Palace servants of Cuiying Hall should be punished according to the rules, and Long Baiyue will not be spared." "According to the rules? Then I will make an exception." The emperor smiled, took Long Baiyue's hand and led her to the depths of Hanfang Hall, and ordered the palace guards to hold the lamps, "You will serve her, and wait for me to draw up the canonization title. Call some more people over..." "Your Majesty, the battle situation is urgent and the court is uneasy. It is not a good time." Jiaren said indifferently behind him. "It's just right, take it as a blessing." Long Baiyue was stunned and couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes.She has seen a lot of men - you can be lewd, but not shameless.At this moment, her reverence disappeared, and she looked at the emperor with bulging eyes, but she couldn't see any similarities between him and Zi Mian.Maybe it's also because of her tall stature, beautiful body proportions, and her facial features are estimated to be wonderful and refined even when she was young, but Zimian's clear and clear temperament is exactly the opposite of the emperor. Zi Mian, Zi Mian... Long Baiyue's heart felt sad, she just felt that riding a tiger was hard to get off. "Take good care of her, and clean up the inner hall by the way, after all, it's a bit gloomy," the emperor looked at the sky outside the hall, and then at Long Baiyue's disheveled hair. He ordered, "You have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." The implication is that someone should take care of Long Baiyue to wash and dress up, so that she can come back to serve him after she is refreshed.The palace people naturally understood, and they all knelt down and responded: "The servants are ordered, and they will serve the good lady, and send them off to the sage..." How did she become a concubine?Long Baiyue's head was buzzing, she saluted blankly, and watched the emperor leave. "My servant waits for the empress to change her clothes." A palace maid stepped forward and was about to serve Long Baiyue. "Wait." Long Baiyue yelled to stop hurriedly, sat in a pear flower wood chair, grasped the armrest firmly, and calmed herself down, "This situation is too sudden, you all step back first, I want to be quiet." The palace people would only panic like a country bumpkin when Long Baiyue was in the sky, they all laughed jokingly, blessed themselves and said: "Your servant obeys." Long Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them retreat obediently.She stood up and looked around.Although the palace people said that Hanfang Hall was cleaned all the time, it was not the case. Under the lamp, the utensils and furniture were covered with a layer of dust.She glanced back at the chair, and sure enough, she just sat down in a hurry and touched the dust on her buttocks.Long Baiyue patted her skirt, wandering around the Hanfang Palace in a daze. Who is Yan Guifei?Does she look like her?Why did the emperor send her here—not an empty palace, but a deserted palace that obviously lost its owner. The previous master must be very favored, Long Baiyue thought to herself, the personnel in the palace changed, and it was obvious that the palace furnishings could be kept after the master left, instead of cleaning up and vacating to accommodate other concubines.But now that she is going to be housed here, Long Baiyue feels weird when she thinks about it. The Holy One said that Concubine Yan Gui lived here, and the Queen said that she looks like Concubine Yan Gui, so she should live here? Where did Concubine Yan go?died? Long Baiyue shuddered, she walked to the outer hall unknowingly, the windows facing the sun were closed tightly, and there was an embroidery frame under the window, covered with a white cloth.By the dim candlelight, Long Baiyue looked at the completed or half-finished embroidery hanging around, all of which were exquisite. It seems that Concubine Yan Gui is good at embroidery, Long Baiyue blushed a little while admiring it.She walked to the embroidery frame, casually lifted the white cloth to have a look.The peony embroidery sample drawn in charcoal is only half-embroidered, with a pool of dark brown mottled blood on the edge of the bright red petals, in the shape of a splash. "Amitabha." Long Baiyue threw down the white cloth in a hurry, her feet went limp, and she almost fell down in fright. She patted her chest, touched the door of the hall quietly, and murmured: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time..." She must escape, and she must escape cleanly, otherwise, if she is caught back, she will become a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is difficult to survive.Long Baiyue was about to open the door of the palace when suddenly a ball of light slid past the palace and approached her silently. "Who?" Long Baiyue asked, but no one answered.She peeked out through the crack of the door, a white paper lantern was shaking slightly outside the door, but she couldn't see who was coming. "Who's outside?" She asked again, feeling that she didn't look like a palace official, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.Cuiying Hall is a cold palace, but Hanfang Hall is a ghost hall?Long Baiyue trembled slightly, only feeling that the hairs all over her body stood on end. "sister……" sigh?What is it?In a trance, Long Baiyue saw a woman with a pretty face and smooth hair - it shouldn't be a ghost.She bravely pushed the door open with a creak. A pregnant woman suddenly appeared in front of her. The woman was as thin as a stick, with only her belly sticking out, and the high-quality clothes fluttered in the night wind.She looked miserable, and when she saw Long Baiyue, she was startled, and her eyes were quickly covered with tears. Long Baiyue looked at her, and asked inexplicably, "Who are you?" The woman trembled with excitement, she fell into Long Baiyue's arms weakly and cried: "Sister, I'm Tong Tong..."
