Flavored candle shop

Jingle six years, spring.

Shi Jiawen took off his red dress and put on a dark blue robe, avoiding the palace people and quietly passing through the palaces, heading north along Gray Bird Lane.

Gray Bird Alley is a very special alley in the palace, narrow and long, the main alleyway extends from the north gate to the rare animal workshop where you can see the glazed tiles of the Queen's Palace from a distance.

Both sides of the alleyway are the residences of low-ranking palace people. It is a rare and simple place in the magnificent imperial palace, but because there have been a queen and a concubine here, every election year, there will be beautiful women who are not born but not low-spirited. Bringing a skirt to this 'dirty and vulgar' place for a walk, it seems that like the predecessors, you can fly on the branches and become a phoenix.

Shi Jiawen, who was born on the top of a high branch, came here today because he wanted to sneak out of the palace to handle a big event.

People in the White Palace were working in various places in the palaces. Gray Bird Lane was empty and empty, only the sound of her footsteps echoed faintly. Shi Jiawen walked forward quickly with her heart buried in her head. Her personal maid could only help her hide the truth. For a long time, the hidden guards who were waiting outside the North Gate Long Street in advance would only wait for her for half an hour. If they were late, they would be too late.

When he was about to walk out of the mouth of Gray Bird Alley, Shi Jiawen saw a tall man wearing a dark blue servant's clothes.Shi Jiawen, who was raised in the deep palace and hadn't seen many real 'men', recognized at a glance that it was a man from outside the palace. Judging by his clothes, he should have sneaked in--this is really easy to recognize, she was in the palace. In more than ten years of middle school, I have never seen a servant with a green beard on his face.The emperor told her that servants don't grow beards.

Sneaking into the imperial palace, which would kill your head if found out, didn't know how to be more careful and meticulous, at least to shave off the stubble... Shi Jiawen held his breath and carefully shrank behind the wall, half panicked in his heart , half excited.

...Is it the assassin who came to assassinate Shi Jin?Should she tell the guards?Can……

Shi Jiawen didn't struggle for too long, she soon knew what the man was doing in the palace.

He picked up a dead man from the back of a real servant, and carefully loaded the dead man into the clay cart.

Shi Jiawen was able to tell at a glance that it was a dead person, thanks to the current His Majesty, her brother.The violent emperor had only been on the throne for six years, and the number of maids in the palace was reduced by half. Within a hundred steps of Shi Jin, he could always meet "disobedient offenders" who were being dealt with or were being dealt with. Gradually, Shi Jiawen began to No longer out of her princess palace.

She just brought out a dead body from the palace, and she can pretend that she didn't see it... just like those people who begged her, only hoped to give their companions, relatives, and lovers a decent palace after death...

Shi Jiawen thought so in his heart, but at the exit of the north gate, he saw the man again. He shrank his neck and lowered his head, raising his arms to stop the pottery truck. He was obviously a big man, but he looked like anyone could bully him... He was indeed being bullied, and several guards guarding the gate surrounded him with their hands on the handle of the knife.

Looking at those eyes with red eye sockets that seemed to be burning with nameless flames, Shi Jiawen's heart trembled violently. She should be afraid, but somehow she took out the palace token from her bosom, and pretended to be acquaintances to go out of the palace together on errands The appearance fooled the gate guard.

Shi Jiawen's heart was still beating violently until she walked a long distance from the north gate, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at the man pushing the cart beside her. At this moment, she regretted a little again.

"Thank you little brother for your help." The man's voice was rough and hoarse, with a strange Mandarin accent, as if he was carrying the wind and sand from the far north.

Shi Jiawen nodded indiscriminately, not daring to start a conversation.

The man didn't see Shi Jiawen's panic and resistance, and said again: "Let's send it here, little brother, can you thank Prince Yin for me, and say that this kindness must be repaid."

deliver?Prince Yin?Yin sad?He actually regarded this princess as Yin Bei's person?

Shi Jiawen was angry, but his panic dissipated a lot.Although that guy Yin Bei used to pester his brother to occupy his time, he still took the opportunity to show off in front of her. He even took his name after his brother's, and his name was 'Wei Huai', which was obviously just a make-up However, the word 'compassionate' takes up three... But people are not bad, and people who are compassionate and dare to help are not really bad people.

Shi Jiawen relaxed in his heart, so he let go of his mouth, lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Guan Yin... what's the matter with Mr. Yin, I just... I just see a rough road, so I just help you."

The man paused while pushing the cart, and said in amazement: "Aren't you the person arranged by Yin Shizi?"

Shi Jiawen shook his head: "No...don't stop here, keep going, there are few people at the north gate, if those guards find something wrong and catch up, they will suffer."

The two walked all the way in silence, and after they walked out of the long street at the North Gate, Shi Jiawen's heart that had been hanging over him finally fell quietly, and he was looking around to find the hidden guard waiting for her, when the man spoke again, still saying words of thanks : "Thank you, little brother, for your help!"

The words are not changed, it is really nothing new.

When Shi Jiawen saw the hidden guard waiting outside the teahouse, he nodded perfunctorily and planned to leave, but the man grabbed her by the shoulder. Shi Jiawen, who had never been in such close contact with a man other than his father and brother, hadn't been afraid of hiding his identity , screamed out a long time ago.

Shi Jiawen opened his big hands on his shoulders, frowned and said viciously: "What are you doing?"

The man seemed taken aback by Shi Jiawen's reaction, and quickly explained: "I just want to ask, little brother, if you help me today, will it hurt yourself? If you hurt my little brother by helping me... I feel really uneasy. "

This guy thinks very carefully...

Shi Jiawen's complexion improved a bit: "No, you don't have to."

After finishing speaking, Shi Jiawen turned around and walked towards the hidden guard who had already approached her vigilantly because of the movement from their side.

"Then what's your name, little brother? Shangguan Chong must repay this kindness!"

Shi Jiawen turned his head and glared at him: "Who are you calling little brother!"

The Shangguan glanced at Shi Jiawen's uniform of the same color as his servant's, first suddenly realized, then showed a tolerant and understanding expression, and comforted him: "Little brother, don't feel sorry for yourself, our upright manly man relies on integrity and mind! You can't help living in the court, but you are still upright and daring to help others, so it doesn't matter if you don't have that scum! You risk helping me today, in my heart, you are my good brother Shangguan Chong!"

Shi Jiawen: "???"

The empress mother personally taught, the parenting etiquette that has been engraved in the bone is not working at this moment, Shi Jiawen rolled his eyes, turned his head and left.

Shangguan Chong thought that the little brother was inferior and didn't believe his words, so he quickly raised his voice and said, "Little brother, you are really brave and manly! If I hadn't really got something important to do today, I would have made an alliance with you on the spot." become sworn brothers!"

"Why don't we make an appointment? I'll prepare the sacrificial candles in advance..."

Shi Jiawen took a deep breath, signaled the hidden guard to stop with his eyes, then turned his head and said seriously: "You don't need to ask for help, just give me this cart."

Shangguan Chong's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes showed vigilance. Only then did Shi Jiawen realize that he hadn't said clearly, and added: "I just want this cart, and the... corpse inside, you can take it with you and take it to the ground."

Shangguan Chong's expression softened a little, and he asked tentatively, "What do you want this broken car for, little brother?"

Shi Jiawen was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Just like you, I left the palace this time to send someone to the grave for peace."

"...The road is long and hard to travel, and I am single and weak, so I want to borrow your cart."

Yesterday, Da Sima's family was ransacked and beheaded. When the queen heard the bad news of her mother's family, she hanged herself and followed her that night.After several years of marriage, Shi Jin didn't even look at it, but only passed down the oral order, withdrew the back seal, and went to the queen's crown and palace clothes and threw them into the mass grave, without even leaving the last bit of decency.

The relationship between Shi Jiawen and the empress is not good. A few years ago, when the father and the empress were still there, one of them lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the other lived in the prince's mansion. What likes and dislikes.

Later, after his father passed away, his mother died of a sudden illness. Shi Jin ascended the throne, and after living together in the palace, there were more opportunities to meet and get along with each other. When people meet, they will ridicule and hurt each other.

Even though they were upset and angry, they were just playing small fights after all, and they had never made any big fights, so they had a tacit understanding.

Later, Shi Jin's actions became more and more absurd, the queen was not favored, and she became cautious and trembling. Like Shi Jiawen, she stopped coming out of the palace as easily, and when they met at the palace banquet, they became the only ones in the palace who could say a few words. People who have a few words don't dare to say too much.

Now that the empress has come to such a miserable end, due to emotion and reason, she also wants to see her off.

At the fork in the suburbs of Shangjing, Shi Jiawen got a cart, and after watching Shangguan rush away to the blood-stained corpse, the hidden guard who had been following Shi Jiawen from a distance quickly stepped forward to greet him: " your Highness."

"Push the cart to the mass grave." Shi Jiawen suddenly said after walking a few steps, "Do the men outside the palace like to ask for help?"

The royal guards specially arranged by the late emperor to be responsible for Princess Jiawen's safety pushed the cart and thought for a while, then said honestly: "There are also a few sworn brothers in humble positions."

Shi Jiawen: "I see..."

It has nothing to do with the inside and outside of the palace, it's because men all over the world love to worship... It's just that the one she met had particularly bad eyesight.

……

When Shi Jiawen knew that Shi Jin was not the royal father's son, the upper capital was already approaching the city, and the secret guards and personal maids were persuading her to escape from the palace and Shangjing, but Shi Jiawen dismissed the palace staff and waited for ten days in the Princess Palace.She is just a princess, if they protect her and persuade her, what about Shi Jin?Will he also be surrounded by abandoning the palace, city, country, and people, and fleeing for his life?

But Shi Jiawen didn't want Shi Jin to live. He took the position of his elder brother and his father, and ruined the world and harmed the people, so he should pay the price.

She wants to sacrifice Shi Jin's life to the country.

On the way to find Shi Jin, Shi Jiawen met Shangguan Chong for the second time.This time, he slipped into the palace openly, he didn't wear the servant's clothes, and Shi Jiawen was also wearing a red dress with gold thread.

The two looked at each other.

Shangguan Chong stammered and spoke first: "Just... even if you are a woman, you are still a hero among women and a man among women! What I said back then is still true, and Shangguan Chong will repay your favor!"

...The cliché is the same old tune, but it is still not new.

Shi Jiawen tightened the dagger that could cut gold and cut jade hidden in his wide sleeve, smiled, and said softly: "Then can you do me a favor?"
