? Palace night, Qinming Hall, brightly lit. +++The latest Danmei novel ranking: EbookFREE.me网o
Emperor Xiao secretly summoned Min Guogong and God King Wanzong, and the three were sitting around the table to discuss something in detail.
"Is there no news from Lei Huan?"
In front of the dragon case, Emperor Xiao was sitting with his upright, his yellowish and puffy square face was sinking like the deep sea, and his drooping eyes were dappled with the light of candlelight.
Min Guogong and God King were given seats when they entered the hall. Now that the emperor suddenly asked, Min Rui raised his hand:
"Back to the emperor, that day after the First World War in Weihai, Lei Huan's ship was severely damaged by Ji Yaoguang and Shenhai. The ministers have been searching the sea for many days without results.
At this point, he lowered his head and his voice became quieter.
A few months ago, the Dongqing Navy had already received Lei Huan’s report, stating that everything was ready, and soon he would personally bring the
Kunhuang Island Map
handed down from the Tianyanmen to the sea from Yingguo to Dayi in the middle of the earth, to Emperor Xiao Present a treasure map.
Because of his participation in the Baishuiguan incident, Min Guogong naturally understood how important the Kunhuang Island map was to Emperor Xiao. On the one hand, they sent people to go to Beijing to report to the emperor. On the one hand, they went to sea during the agreed period and didn't want to be slammed by Ji Yaoguang, a female pirate who pretended to be a merchant ship.
When Min Guogong's voice fell, Emperor Xiao's eyebrows were tightly closed, his five fingers stroked repeatedly on the wall of the teacup carved with dragons, and he said to himself after meditation:
"That island map hides mystery and points out the location of Kunhuang Underground Palace. Only by entering the underground palace can I get back half of my jade seal. For many years, I finally managed to buy Lei Huan into use, and he removed the sky for me. The stumbling block Yanmen Hongzun was ambushed when he didn't want to cross the sea to present a picture! Only one step...he was really buried in the sea, but it's a pity that the picture, what if it falls into the hands of others?!"
Upon seeing this, Wanzong, the king, offered his condolences and comforted:
"The emperor does not have to worry. Ji Yaoguang lost a lot of money in the battle of Weihai. This time, he died of nine deaths. I am afraid that if Lei Huan is lucky enough to escape the disaster, he will be persecuted along the way to Beijing. Such old officials have also fortified defenses along the way. Lei Huan was safe and sound, and immediately saved him to Beijing and dedicated the picture to the emperor."
Emperor Xiao nodded silently, then gritted his teeth, looking directly at Longan with a pair of turbid eyes, and his eyes were poisoned:
"An He is really idle. If she marries Xiyi away, she still has to get involved with the royal affairs of Dayi. If it weren't for her secret assistance for many years, how could Tianyanmen have the strength to be an enemy of me and hide the secret of Yuxi in the Kunhuang Palace? Thinking of her as the side concubine of King Udan Solo, I can't wait to kill her!"
Speaking of extreme anger, the emperor slammed his fist on the table.
"The emperor calms down his anger. o"
The two important ministers got up at the same time, their robes were about to bow down, and the emperor waved his hand to stop them, and said in a bored expression:
"Okay, don't kneel."
The two were seated again, Min Rui's fox eyes narrowed:
"I heard that someone placed a leather man in the middle of the night, and his facial features resembled the first emperor. Is there any progress in this case now?"
Wan Zong snorted: "This case has already been handed over to the admiral of the Dongchang factory for trial. The six months of successive investigations are still unremarkable.
Min Rui looked terrified, his eyes changed to the emperor:
"If you can do this in such a heavily guarded palace, I'm afraid that there will be internal responses in the palace."
Emperor Xiao suddenly lost his eyes, and a deep gully was erected between his slightly sparse eyebrows:
"At that time, the admiral of the East Factory took many people inside and outside the palace, and most of their lives were lost in Zhao Prison, and the clue was broken. I often think that the person deliberately organized the affairs of the first emperor, and it is impossible to know Kunhuang Island. Picture one inside story?"
Wan Zong squeezed his beard, his piercing eyes fell into a void, and he suddenly spoke for a moment:
"If you know it's best, as long as Lei Huan comes to Beijing alive, the old minister has a trick to attract that person to come out in the palace by himself..."
...
Outside the Qinming Hall, the father-in-law stood with his hands together under the corridor, only a finger distance from the light-transmitting window lattice, and he was able to hear the dialogue inside.
And he always lowered his eyebrows and plucked his eyes, his back was slightly lumpy, and his white and fat face did not have much expression, as if he were a wooden sculpture, without thoughts and life.
...
In the silence of the night, a few partridges screamed suddenly outside the high wall of Weiyan Pavilion in the harem.
How can there be partridges in the palace at this time?
However, to Gu Yunjin, there is nothing strange about the unusual bird calls in the middle of the night.
Just as the partridge crowed three times, after each three times, Gu Yunjin wore a white cotton cloak and led the palace maid Caiyue and the servant Xiao Maozi out of the main hall, lighting all the way to under the wall on the west side of the courtyard.
"Godfather..."
Gu Yunjin looked up and called out softly under her voice.
There was no voice on the other side of the red wall, but with the movement of Xiximin, a shadow flew up to the top of the wall and followed a hemp rope. A basket is tied to the other end of the rope, and there are some delicious and delicate dishes in the basket.
After Gu Yunjin was designed by the Jinli Lake to be banned by the emperor, she was trapped in the Weiyan Pavilion like a walking dead. Except Caiyue and Xiao Maozi waiting by her side, all the other palace members were evacuated from the palace, and her food and clothing costs Compared with the past, it is also greatly reduced. Wang Minglan was thinking about the old feelings, and every five days, he sent people to give Gu Yunjin some food, gold, silver and soft goods in this form.
At this time, the three masters and servants in the courtyard saw the basket come down, but no one dared to go forward to get it. The reason was that the person squatting on the wall was not the Xiaozhangzi they knew, but the Kagura Hou Wanli.
what happened?
Gu Yunjin stared directly at the wall blankly, thinking that in the past, his godfather would send a small Zhangzi to send something. It's late at night, why is Wanli still in the palace?
Wan Li was wearing a dark red gown tonight, and the shisha-tasted flowers shone under the cold moon. With three wings on his head, he swims far away with a silver crown unwrapped, and only tied the top round bun with a slender cyan silk scarf, like a handsome literati.
Curled up on the high wall, Wan Li stared straight at Gu Yunjin's delicate and beautiful face, and the corners of his mouth were slanted inadvertently, releasing a wicked arc of laughter.
"Lord Jin, aren't you hungry?"
Tonight, he followed his father into the palace. Seeing his father and the emperor and Min Guogong were discussing things behind closed doors for a long time, he was really bored waiting outside the hall alone, so he walked to the harem.
The gatekeeper did not know that the person who came was the imperial concubine's own brother, and Xu Ye met with the imperial concubine Wan when something happened, but no one dared to stop him.
When Wan Li was walking on the palace road for a short time, he met two little eunuchs. After asking about it, he found out that Minglan had sent him to send food and drink to Gu Yunjin.
The beauty of love fell out of favor, and Wan Li had evil thoughts for a while, so he went with his servant under the outer wall on the west side of Weiyan Pavilion.
Watching Gu Yunjin staring at him in surprise at this moment, he lingered to come forward to pick up the basket, Wan Li pursed his crimson lips slightly, holding a somewhat ambiguous expression, staring at Gu Yunjin non-stop while holding both hands. Taking away the hemp rope inch by inch, the portable food basket turned over and crossed the red wall.
The basket was tucked into Caiyue, and Wan Li's squinted eyes squinted up and down Gu Yunjin's body, his voice mellowed and tactfully in his mouth, which was quite joyful:
"Little Lord Jin, I haven't seen you for many days, do you still remember this lord?"
Gu Yunjin's heart tightened and she couldn't help biting her lower lip. Looking at each other silently, she was able to intercept his thoughts from Wanli's ups and downs, exaggerated tone and full of evil light.
Taking a step back, Gu Yunjin crossed her pale fingers and clasped them together fiercely.
Regardless of the presence of his servants, Wan Li deceived himself and walked closer:
"Little Lord Jin is so talented and beautiful, but she suffers from such neglect. I really don’t know how to pity and cherish jade when I want to come to my brother-in-law. Now it’s winter, Benhou is always thinking that the little Lord can eat and dress well. I really can’t rest assured. Visit one or two places."
Gu Yunjin nodded slightly, her dazzling eyes did not dare to lift her eyes easily, and she greeted Manli's two unobstructed hot eyes. Panicking and panting, the pair of upper bodies, which are still tall and plump under a few layers of clothes, are undulating and prostrate.
Wan Li chased his soul and smiled again: "I would like to advise the little master, the flowers are worthy of being folded..."
On the one hand, he hated sinking incomparably, unable to bear the loneliness of the palace, and desperately eager to sink, even if he knew that the man in front of him had a family, at this time, she was only false.
But Gu Yunjin has been lonely for too long, and the sixteen-year-old flower is about to wither before it blooms. How can this make her willing?
Suspended and narrowed her beautiful eyes, Gu Yunjin's low expression suddenly turned sharp, and a tender little hand stretched out and grabbed Wan Li's big hand.
Raising my eyes again, my face is like a peach blossom, a hundred charming and charming:
"Thank you, Master Hou, for your compassion. The concubine's peach blossom stuffed stuff is hot in the concubine's palace. I wonder if Master Hou would like to go to the warm pavilion with your concubine?"
Wan Li's eagle eyes brightened sharply, as if ecstatic, he nodded and said okay, and hand in hand with Gu Yunjin stepped into the main hall.

An autumn dew and a cold, time flies, and the first day has arrived in a blink of an eye, the front is calm and the harem is also happy.
As usual, every Yuan Day in the palace, the concubines would cut window grilles, painted colorful frames, hand tied gold silk and red velvet flowers, talking and laughing all morning.
In the previous few years, the queen was sick and happy, so the concubines could go to Kunning Palace in the early morning of Yuan Day to greet them, and then go to Yongning Palace for the holidays.
A month ago, the emperor was annoyed by the imperial concubine because of Bai Quan's affairs, and she also had on her side, and then stayed behind closed doors and ignored all external affairs.
Queen Qian simply summoned all her concubines to Kunning Palace to share this year's Yuanri Festival with her.
Seeing the sisters get along well and the velvet-flowered lanterns are busy, Queen Qian is also relieved.
Concubine Xu's calligraphy has always been top-notch among concubines. At this moment, she is raising her pen and waving her wrist, writing couplets on gold-sprinkled red paper.
This year's New Year's Eve came very early. After only half a month, these window grilles and other mascots will be useful.
Gu Yunyao felt tired after cutting a pair of magpies on the side of the long desk. She put down her scissors and raised her hand to beat her sore shoulder.
Seeing Mr. Song Qin, he was busy serving his master a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls.
Gu Yunyao smiled, squeezed a spoon and scooped up a round ball, leaned to her mouth and carefully blown cold, then bit her mouth with her teeth and frowned slightly.
Reluctant to take a second bite, she was caught off guard to prevent her stomach from being overwhelmed. She retched and almost threw out the porcelain bowl in her hand.
The concubines stopped what they were doing and cast a surprised look at her.
"Yu Zhaoyi, are you unsafe?"
Empress Qian noticed that she leaned slightly from the phoenix chair and asked concerned questions.
"Sister, what's the matter?"
Concubine Xu dropped her writing brush and walked closer, watching Songqin's master rubbing her shoulders, her surprised expression gradually turned into joy:
"Sister is happy?"
In a word, the temple suddenly fell into incomparable silence.
Gu Yunyao seemed to be hit by a blow and stunned on the rose chair. Empress Qian suddenly realized it, and then pushed and shoved with joy, trembling urged:
"Hurry up, go, send the imperial physician to take Yu Zhaoyi's pulse!"
Su Lian nodded with joy and promised to trot out of the temple.
Within a moment, Grand Physician Jiang carried the medicine box on his shoulder into the main hall of Kunning Palace, freeing a corner of the long book case, and immediately diagnosed Gu Yunyao's pulse.
Sure enough, Gu Yunyao is now two months pregnant with a stable and healthy fetus. After rejoicing to the empress and Gu Yunyao, the doctor Jiang prescribed antifetal medicine, and went back to the imperial pharmacy to decoct the medicine.
Empress Qian was overjoyed, and for a while, she left her concubines aside and ran to the Buddhist temple in the side hall to offer incense.
The concubines in the main hall looked different. Some expressed their heartfelt wishes to Gu Yunyao, while others watched coldly, gritted their teeth secretly.
Standing behind Concubine Xu, Gu Yunxi looked at Gu Yunyao's dignified and gorgeous posture, and was sincerely happy for her.
After two years in the palace, the eldest sister finally got her head.
Everyone in the palace knows that she is now the daughter of Min Guogong and her mother's status is prominent. Once the dragonborn is born, the emperor will still promote her.
I want to come that she had annoyed the emperor for acknowledging her relatives. At this time, she was pregnant. The emperor should have changed his mind and accepted her again.
After another time, the concubines could not wait for the queen to come back. They all had no intention to do anything. They got up to say hello to Su Lian, and left Kunning Palace and went back.
After the Waiyuan parting, Xu Fei personally sent Gu Yunyao onto the sedan chair.
Seeing that her face is depressed and depressed, there is no half of the joy of being a mother, Xu Fei stepped forward and took her hand, looked at her favorably, and comforted her:
"You, it's good to have a baby from now on. Once Lin'er is born, you will serve the emperor wholeheartedly. Don't think about it anymore."
Gu Yunyao nodded boredly, carrying a bit of loneliness and helplessness, and lifted herself away by the sedan chair.
PS: The three adopted daughters of Gu Zhangshi, the three girls have different fates, no one can comment on which one is right~
