After returning to the capital, Yu Yan learned that Concubine Rong was thrown into the cold palace. After many twists and turns, she managed to sneak in and finally meet her master. However, she didn't expect that she was beaten severely by her master before she could even speak to him. hand.
"Master, spare your life!" Yu Yan crawled on her knees and grabbed the ground with her head, not daring to look directly at Concubine Rong.
In the past, Concubine Rong was loved by thousands of people, and she had countless gold, pearls, jade, and precious antiques. How could it be like now? Not to mention the shabby palace she lived in, even Concubine Rong herself wore a dusty palace dress and lived like the lowest palace maid. Not as good as.
Concubine Rong was indeed having a hard time, but she never gave up. When faced with harsh criticism from palace maids and eunuchs, she would fight back with the strongest attitude and means.
When Yuyan rushed up just now, she instinctively thought that some palace maid was coming to harm her, so she reacted violently.
When she saw the person kneeling on the ground clearly, Concubine Rong finally couldn't help crying with joy, and stepped forward tremblingly to help Yuyan up: "Are you Yuyan? Yuyan?"
"Yes, Master, I am Yuyan!" Yuyan felt extremely aggrieved, but looking at Concubine Rong in desolate condition, she felt even more sad and couldn't help but begin to doubt whether it was right for her to come back.
But it doesn't stop her from showing the deep love between master and servant.
"Master, how could you do this? How dare those dirty people do this to you?" Yu Yan shed two tears, 30% true and 70% false, and then told Concubine Rong that Lin Wanyu was in the Lu family and Zhao Changsu was in the north. environmental situation.
Regarding Lin Wanyu, Yuyan actually didn't know much, so she could only make up more lies than the truth. Anyway, she sent the person there, and it was up to her whether he would live or die later.
But regarding Zhao Changsu's situation in the north, Yu Yan described the young master's situation with embarrassment, as if he would die in two days. She knew that Concubine Rong would never sit still and wait to die!
In fact, Concubine Rong did not wait to die. She had already figured out the current situation of the new king Zhao Changyu, both openly and secretly.
Adopting a harem is a basic operation. She also found out that Zhao Changsu began to study the art of longevity and wanted to gain a hundred years of life for himself through alchemy. To this end, he also recruited many Taoist priests into the palace.
If there were any of them among these Taoist priests, then Zhao Changyu's life would be in their hands.
"I arranged for you to sneak in, you just need to secretly dig out his foundation." Concubine Rong has been looking for this candidate recently. She needs someone who can protect herself, be eloquent, and tend to be flattering. , just take Zhao Changyu into your pocket.
This makes Concubine Guang's life in the cold palace easier, and Zhao Changsu, who is far away in Beijing, can also take a breather.
It just so happened that Yuyan came back and was the best candidate.
Concubine Rong made up her mind, but Yuyan looked confused: Why does she have to become a target wherever she goes?
But this was the master's order, and Yuyan had no choice but to obey, and finally cried: "Yuyan can be smashed to pieces for the master, but I only hope that the master can pity Yuyan's sincerity."
It’s not that Concubine Rong doesn’t know Yu Yan’s thoughts, but this is the time to employ people, so she doesn’t mind making a promise: “Of course, if you help me and the prince succeed, I will make the decision to grant you the title of concubine in the future.”
Yuyan is overjoyed, this is what she has always wanted! After quickly kowtow to express gratitude, she followed Concubine Rong's arrangement and became a Taoist nun among the Taoist priests.
Half a month later, while walking in the magnificent imperial city, Yuyan looked up at the night sky.
Today is the Lantern Festival. I wonder how the prince is doing in the north? My lord, you must live. Yuyan and her master are waiting for your return in the imperial city!
The Lantern Festival is the night of reunion after New Year's Eve.
At the lantern festival in Qiantang City, a group of girls had a great time.
Li Peirou, who had always had a cold face, let go of her fists and laughed freely. She finally had the liveliness of a boudoir girl and had other friends besides Shen Ningxin.
Especially Xue Nan and Bai Lu, they are simply Li Peirou's little crushes.
"Hero! I want that one!" Xue Nan pulled Li Peirou and pointed to the big rabbit lantern at the top of the lantern tower in front, insisting that Li Peirou go get it.
Shishan stepped forward and said he would go, but Xue Nan refused: "This is about the girl's family, please stay back!"
But the lantern tower is as high as three stories, and it was built temporarily to add a festive atmosphere to the lantern festival. It is only for viewing and is not very sturdy. Logically speaking, no one would pay attention to the lanterns on it.
That is, Xue Nan, a little skinny monkey, pestered Li Peirou and wanted her to demonstrate Qinggong.
Lin Wanyu's playfulness also increased, and she pulled Shen Ningxin up to add more weight to Li Peirou: "Ningxin, have you ever seen the female hero's Qinggong?"
Shen Ningxin shook her head blankly. After all, how could she possibly be exposed to situations that required action? Of course I have never seen it.
Li Peirou felt the most sorry for Shen Ning. When she saw her eyes filled with anticipation, she immediately untied her cloak and started gearing up to go up to the tower.
But just as he was about to take off, a blue figure stepped up first.
It's Gao Tong.
Gao Tong searched for Shen Ningxin at the lantern festival for a long time. When he finally found it, he saw Li Peirou eager to pick up the lanterns, so he took it for granted that Shen Ningxin wanted it.
After all, his gentle and lovely Ning Xin was not the only one who could sway Li Peirou.
So he wanted to show off his strength in front of the girl he loved and jump ahead of Li Peirou.
But Li Peirou was not a light-hearted person. When she saw someone snatching her, she immediately jumped up and started a chase with Gao Tong.
"Miss Li, stop chasing me, give me a chance!"
"Thieves get out!"
The two of them were chasing each other, jumping to the highest point with each attack and defense, and the people watching below also became nervous.
Don't fight too much, or you'll get hurt.
Because of the fight between a man and a woman, many pedestrians along the street stopped and pointed at them and talked about them. Some even said that this was a love scene between a heroic couple competing for superiority.
"Oh, you can make it up better than me!" Xue Nan couldn't laugh or cry, admiring the imagination of the onlookers.
But Bai Lu didn't think so: "Don't tell me, hero couple, have you ever seen this kind of subject? It feels like an interesting new direction!"
Lin Wanyu chuckled softly: "Is that the male and female protagonist of your next novel?"
"What are you talking about? Ning Xin is still here!" Bai Lu pushed Lin Wanyu, a little worried that Shen Ningxin would think too much after hearing this.
But Shen Ningxin actually didn't hear anything. She kept focusing on the two people in mid-air, for fear that they would have a conflict. She knew Li Peirou's competitive temperament best, and Gao Tong was very talkative. She didn't want them to have conflicts because of her.
Xue Nan's bad humor came to him and he moved to Shen Ningxin: "Suppose, if there is a fire now, you can only save one of Li Peirou or Gao Tong, who would you choose?"
Shen Ningxin's pupils shrank and she quickly shook her head: "No, it's impossible."
"That's what if." Xue Nan wanted to press, but was stopped by Lin Wanyu: "It's wrong for you to ask this. You should ask, if Pei Rou were a man, would Ning Xin marry him?"
"Huh?" Xue Nan didn't expect to assume this, but it didn't stop her from staring at Shen Ningxin for the answer.
This was easy to answer. Shen Ningxin quickly nodded: "Of course, Pei Rou is a good person and a better person. He is worth trusting for his whole life."
"Wow~~~" Xue Nan couldn't hold it any longer and showed an expression of excitement as if he had eaten a big melon.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there is another question." Lin Wanyu calmly pointed at Gao Tong and asked Shen Ningxin: "If Peirou is a man, you two have been engaged since childhood, but when the wedding day is approaching, Gao Tong suddenly expresses his love for you in a high-profile manner. , what should you do? Answer quickly!"
Xue Nan and Bai Lu were shocked! Can you still ask that?
At the same time, Shen Ningxin was also shocked. She did not answer immediately, but Lin Wanyu was still urging her. She hesitated and wanted to say that she should choose Peirou, but was interrupted by sudden cheers.
It turns out that the lighthouse has already produced results.
Gao Tong took the lead to get the rabbit lantern, but later Li Peirou refused to accept it and wanted to grab it. The two fought over a rabbit lantern in the sky.
Shen Ning became anxious, took a step forward, and shouted to them: "Come down quickly, stop arguing, come down quickly!"
But the two of them couldn't hear anything. They only had rabbit lanterns in their eyes. Li Peirou was so anxious that she yelled: "You are so crazy, what are you doing with the rabbit lantern that Xue Nan wants?"
"Ah?" Gao Tong was stunned, "Isn't it what Ning Xin wants?"
Li Peirou grabbed the gap, raised her leg and kicked the rabbit lantern away. After catching it firmly, she jumped down. By the time Gao Tong came to his senses, it was too late, so he could only follow down in frustration.
After landing, Li Peirou handed the rabbit lantern to Xue Nan.
Seeing this, Gao Tong scratched his head in embarrassment, moved next to Shen Ningxin and whispered, "I thought you wanted it, so I went to grab it."
"Ning Xin still wants the moon in the sky, go and pick it!" Li Peirou wanted to punch this bastard.
"I can really pick it! As long as Ning Xin wants it, I can do anything!" This is the first time Gao Tong has expressed his clear feelings to Shen Ning Xin in public.
However, if he didn't take the opportunity to meet men and women during festivals like the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, Gao Tong might not really have to wait for his mother to propose marriage, and then be ruthlessly rejected without even a chance.
He was anxious, very anxious.
Facing Gao Tong's high-profile show of love, Shen Ningxin was a little flustered. She didn't want to be the center of everyone's attention, and her little face turned red instantly.
"Master Gao, don't say that."
Shen Ningxin's voice was like a feather, stirring Gao Tong's heart time and time again.
The ambiguous atmosphere was just right. Gao Tong was about to strike while the iron was hot, but suddenly several lanterns exploded on the lighthouse. Before anyone could react, the flames engulfed the entire lighthouse.
"It's gone!"
The originally lively crowd suddenly rushed to escape from the area, and the people in Lin Wanyu, who were in the center and closest to the lighthouse, were also suddenly dispersed.
Shishan immediately stepped forward to protect Lin Wanyu and Bai Lu, but there were too many people and he was stopped on the outside. People were afraid of running around in the street like headless flies. From time to time, some people fell on the roadside stalls. , and fell down together with the things.
In just a moment, this street was in chaos.
Because Shishan paid too much attention to Bai Lu, when he came back to his senses, Lin Wanyu's figure disappeared from sight.
"Look for it!" Shishan's scalp was numb and he quickly mobilized secret guards to look for Lin Wanyu's traces.
On the other side, at the moment of the accident, Gao Tong and Li Peirou rushed towards Shen Ningxin at the same time, but were blocked by the rushing people. They watched Shen Ningxin being knocked unconscious and taken away by a man in black.
"Ningxin!" Gao Tong and Li Peirou shouted heartbreakingly. They didn't expect this scene to happen. They quickly used their Qinggong skills and chased the man in black.
Because Lin Wanyu's side was washed away, she was just about to find a safe road to hide and wait for Shishan to come find her, but suddenly a man in black fell from the sky and came face to face with her.
Realizing that the other party had bad intentions, Lin Wanyu did not hesitate to pull out the hairpin on her head, fired the concealed weapon according to Lu Mingyu's instructions, and then let the crowd run away, using the crowd to temporarily avoid the man in black.
Shishan must be found immediately!
But while dodging, she saw Xue Nan who was alone not far away.
"Xue Nan!" Lin Wanyu shouted loudly and tried her best to move in her direction.
