Chapter 24 [Second Four] Thoughts

Sun Peng is not worried that what happened in Chunshan will become a handle for Xie Zhang and others.Xie Zhang didn't dare, and he wouldn't let the guards below have the courage.

The dignified prince intends to misbehave with his wife and brother, but if one person inadvertently reveals it and let Yu Shitai know about it, then there will be snowflakes again.

Xie Zhang didn't dare.He also couldn't come up with other words to explain why the spring mountain safari eventually turned into a hunt for Sun Peng all over the mountain.Therefore, the personal guards have been repeatedly warned, no one dared to risk death to tell people that the prince robbed his wife and brother but was injured in vain.

Sun Peng didn't hide anything about Chun Shan, whether it was Mrs. Sun or Sun Xian, after Xie Zhang was carried back to the East Palace, they all learned the ins and outs of the matter from Sun Peng.

The Sun family brothers were so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to rush into the East Palace and beat Xie Zhang who was lying on the bed with a broken leg and couldn't move.

Sun Junliang severely reprimanded his nephews, looked at his smiling son, and glared, "You are very lenient."

Sun Peng laughed.

The Sun family before rebirth had no defense against Donggong. If things happened at that time, he might have looked forward and backward for the sake of the Sun family, and endured the grievances for life.

But after being reborn, the Sun family has taken precautions against the East Palace. Judging from the current situation of the Sun family, no matter what Xie Zhang does, he can have his own response.

Therefore, he will not endure humiliation, and he will never let those people go so easily.

Old Mrs. Sun did not dare to relax, and Sun Junliang was always watching the movements of the East Palace.After a few days of such calm and calm, it seemed that Xie Zhang really just injured his leg unintentionally, and he stayed in the East Palace honestly and dutifully to recuperate, even the subordinate officials never summoned a few people.

A few days later, after Sun Peng's normal shift, he was summoned by Sun Xian to sit and drink tea in the garden of the East Palace.But at this time, there was an order from Yizhi from the Hall of Ciying——

Sun Peng, the imperial guard of Tiaohe, went to the Leng Palace as an errand.

This Yizhi came strangely, but it was also expected.

The Hall of Ciying is the palace where the Empress Dowager lives, and the person who came to deliver the letter is also the most powerful chief servant around the Empress Dowager.However, if it is only the transfer order of the servants, the queen mother and empress can pass on the orders at will.

However, Sun Peng is a guard of the crane, a military officer, not a servant girl.

The empress dowager's decree was clearly requested by Xie Zhang.

Sun Peng received the order, and Sun Xian stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Why did the queen mother suddenly issue such an order, but there is a shortage of manpower in the cold palace?"

The head servant smiled obsequiously: "Look at what the princess said. There will be no shortage of manpower in the cold palace. It's just that the queen mother and her old man are concerned about the poor health of the young man of the Sun family, so she is looking for a quiet and leisurely place so that he can stay away. Tired and sick."

What they said in a few words was watertight, but even Sun Xian couldn't say anything else.

The head servant snorted with a smile, raised his eyelids, and sized up Sun Peng who was standing beside Sun Xian from head to toe.Sun Peng didn't say a word, and his expression was always respectful and indifferent, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this imperial edict.

Sun Peng's mood was a little complicated.

Ever since he was reborn, he has been planning all the time to take his sister-in-law and leave the East Palace after taking revenge on Xie Zhang.Now he can leave as he wished, but to go to the cold palace...

"Are you going?" Sun Xian asked.

"Go. There's no reason not to go." Sun Peng smiled, "Lenggong is a leisurely place, and I can feel more at ease when I go there. By the way, I can still visit Huang... and Aunt Pei."

Sun Xian poked his forehead dumbfounded, but she was still worried.She turned slightly sideways, looking at Xie Zhang who was walking towards the corner, and secretly had her own idea in her heart.

*****

Due to time constraints, when Sun Peng went to report to the Lenggong, he only had time to order Gouqi to send a letter to Jingming Temple, telling Xie Chen that he was transferred to the Lenggong by the Queen Mother, and that he could accompany the Queen Yuan.As for the reply letter, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it until he rests another day.

Emperor Xihe's cold palace can indeed be called "cold".He has never abolished concubines, and the only one who was sent to the cold palace was Yuan Empress Pei Shu who was abolished in the first year of Yifeng.

Emperor Xihe couldn't bear that she was left alone, and he never wanted to be short of clothes or food around him. Even the number of people who waited on her was only one or two fewer than before the Empress Yuan was abolished, so he naturally arranged a few guards to protect her.

There are also several concubines who the late emperor despised or made big mistakes in the cold palace. Some of them are out of spirit, crying and howling all day long, and some shut themselves in the house all the year round. Do not talk to anyone.

When Sun Peng entered the cold palace, Xiao Peng, the guard next to Empress Yuan, came out to pick him up, and then led the people to Empress Yuan.

When Sun Peng was young, he used to play and frolic under the knees of the Empress Yuan, but he was only two or three years old at that time, at the age where he could run, jump and talk, and he couldn't remember people and things.

Kneeling in front of Empress Yuan, he raised his head when he was promised, and was a little stunned when he saw Empress Yuan's face.

Empress Yuan has a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes. She is not the kind of beauty who looks like a jasper. On the contrary, she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, long eyelashes, and bright red and plump lips. Even though the eldest son is not young now, she still looks very young.

No matter how tall the Pei family is, the Empress Yuan, who was born in the Pei family, is no exception.Sitting just like that, she could still tell that she was tall, her back was straight, her belly was slightly tucked in, and her posture was dignified. If she didn't look a little pale, she was still the one he vaguely remembered that could make him lie on her lap. Looks like a coquettish Aunt Pei.

Thank him, a third like his mother.

"Is this Qilang..." Empress Yuan smiled and waved, "The chubby little baby back then has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Come, let Aunt Pei take a good look."

When she opened her mouth, she still used the same name as when the Pei and Sun families were close friends.

Sun Peng had a sore nose for no reason, seeing Xiao Peng retreating, and all the maids and maids serving in the house had arrived at the door, so he got up and walked in front of Empress Yuan, lifted his clothes and knelt down again.

"Good boy, when the Pei family was exiled in Xizhou, I still remember that Pei Chu was your age. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. If there were no... Pei Chu and your elder sister's children, I'm afraid it would be fine." I chased you and called you uncle."

There was sadness in the eyes of Empress Yuan.The Pei Chu she was talking about was the eldest son of Pei and the bamboo horse who had a marriage contract with Sun Xian back then.

Sun Peng knew that although Empress Yuan looked at him, she must be remembering everyone in the Pei family. He didn't know how to answer, so he hummed.

Empress Yuan turned back and said: "It is the Queen Mother's order to transfer you to the Leng Palace, but Qilang, you must know that there is also His Majesty's handwriting here. I am surrounded by His Majesty's people. The Queen Mother transferred you to the Leng Palace to exile you , but when you came to my side, it was His Majesty who was saving you. You are a good and careful boy. Both Your Majesty and I have heard about Chunshan. Good boy, I have made you wronged."

What Empress Yuan said surprised Sun Peng.Empress Yuan saw his surprise and couldn't help laughing out loud, then her expression changed drastically, she turned her back and coughed heavily.

"Aunt Pei!"

Sun Peng stood up nervously and was about to call for the maid.Empress Yuan turned around and pulled the man back, shaking her head slowly: "This is an old problem. It's okay. Let Yuan Lin guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment here later, so as not to accidentally go to the wrong place. In the future, you will be with me If you are on an errand, if you are free, you... just tell me about Chen'er."

Sun Peng quickly agreed, and the Empress Yuan let go, and asked the servant Yuan Lin who was waiting at the door to come and take him away.

Yuan Lin was the Leng Gong who arrived in Yifeng's second year. He was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and he was placed next to the Empress Yuan right away.For the next ten years, he served by the Empress Yuan's side.

Sun Peng followed Yuan Lin quickly through the Lenggong.He pointed out all the palaces inhabited by people in the cold palace, and Sun Peng also carefully wrote down every word he said.After the incident, Yuan Lin suddenly called Sun Peng's name.

He turned his head and looked at Yuan Lin who was hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty hasn't seen the two princes for many years. If possible, please ask the guard Sun to talk to your Majesty about the First Prince and the Third Prince. And the Pei family... Although His Majesty protects Your Majesty everywhere, he never allows anyone Sending news related to the Pei family to the cold palace, when the empress is thinking about it, she often cries. After so many years, the empress's eyes are actually not so good from crying."

After hearing this, Sun Peng had some idea, but he was a little surprised that Xie Yu lived in the palace, and he could ignore mother and child for so many years.

"The third prince was taken to the queen's house since he was born. Even if he knew that he was the child of the former queen, how could he be allowed to visit the empress in the cold palace. What's more..." Yuan Lin gritted his teeth and became ruthless, "Nian Nian I had secretly begged the third prince before, hoping that he could come to Lenggong to have a look at the empress, even if it was just a glance, it would be better than asking the empress to think so hard for so many years that she couldn’t even see a corner of her clothes. But the third prince not only refused to agree, Also... I also sued the slave in front of the Queen, if His Majesty hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that the slave's life would have been given to Fengyi Palace long ago."

Sun Peng was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but gasped.

Yuan Lin shook his head and sighed, feeling extremely guilty: "I know that I have made a big mistake, and no one is allowed to enter or leave this place of Lenggong without permission. This life of this slave is not a pity, but it is a pity for the empress..."

Sun Peng shook his head, and answered Yuan Lin's request.The two walked back to the palace of the Empress Yuan in silence, one in front of the other.

Seeing the slender Empress Yuan in the hall resting with her eyes closed, Sun Peng turned his head sadly.

The Wang family...has committed too many crimes...

It was fifteen that night when Sun Peng arrived at Empress Yuan's side.

The fifteenth moon is the roundest.It seems that because of the newcomers in the cold palace, the Empress Yuan couldn't sleep, and insisted on going outside the palace to enjoy the moon.

Yuan Lin and the grand lady Futaba tried to persuade her several times but failed to persuade them back, so one of them was holding hot tea, the other was holding a robe and accompanied by the side, and Empress Yuan stood under the eaves and looked up at the moon.

Naturally, Sun Peng was on duty tonight.After patrolling past, it was his turn to go back to the house to rest. Seeing Empress Yuan standing under the eaves admiring the moon, Sun Peng guarded not far away holding his sword without saying a word.

Empress Yuan accidentally turned her head and saw him standing aside, with a smile in her phoenix eyes: "Qilang come here, tell me about Chen'er."

Sun Peng saluted respectfully, took a step forward, and concealed some important things. Only then did Baoying replace the time background with what happened when he lived with Xie Chen in Jingming Temple for four years in Baoying. .

He said that Xie Chen was good at talking with his hands, and every time he could bully the exam candidates who had high self-esteem and went to the mountains to be ashamed, a pleasant smile appeared on the face of the Empress Yuan.

He also said that occasionally wandering monks went up to the mountain to discuss scriptures with others, and Xie Chen could often make people speechless with a few words.

Every time he said something, he could see the gentle smile that Empress Yuan couldn't hide.It was a mother's longing for a son she hadn't seen in years.

He suddenly became a little bit, missing his deceased mother.

At a corner on one side of the palace, a moon-white figure stood quietly against the wall for a long, long time.The boy's unique voice was not affected at all, and he slowly talked about the things he and the boy had experienced together in Jingming Temple.

Borrowing the pale moonlight, he turned his head slightly, looking at the young man's thin face under the moonlight, his heart rippled in layers.

Qilang, that is the Qilang he can't get, but he can't bear to part with.
