September is full of flowers

Shen Man knew that this moment would always come, but at this time and place, was it too early or too late to ask such an inquiry.Perhaps for Concubine Li, it was too late after all; but for Concubine Ning, it might not be too late.

The cella was very quiet, unsettlingly quiet.Standing in front of the screen, Shen Man looked at the gorgeous screen painted with colorful phoenixes, and unconsciously thought of Ding Feng, Ye Tiantian and Ning Lilai in his dream.

"Reporting to the noble concubine, I don't know much, and I may disappoint the noble concubine." Shen Man thought over and over again, thinking that not many people knew about the dream of himself and Tang Jiuyue, and they had just woke up, and they had never mentioned it to anyone. As for the half of the dream, even when Lian Yi asked, she prevaricated.And the noble concubine has lived in the palace for a long time, why did she suddenly remember that what she summoned to ask happened to be about Ye Tiantian's past?

There seemed to be a moment of silence on the other side of the screen, and then smiled softly.Shen Man raised his eyes and saw the shadow coming out from behind the screen, wearing only a layer of single clothes, picking up a blue robe hanging on the screen with his thin and boneless hands, and draping it loosely on his body.Her hair was uncombed and her posture was lazy.He leisurely walked towards Shen Man, and said face to face.

"You don't have to think too much, except for her affairs, I don't care about anyone else."

Shen Man looked into her eyes for a moment, her eyes were very clear, but there was a slight bruise under the eyes, which may be due to lack of sleep.The noble concubine's complexion was paler than before, and her limbs were faintly thin. Presumably, the disease Ning Tao mentioned that day had not improved, but had a tendency to become more serious.

"Imperial concubine, the deceased is gone." Shen Man persuaded.

Concubine Ning Gui smiled lightly, "Although the dead are dead, the living are obsessed with each other."

Shen Man was taken aback, knowing that the imperial concubine was really worried about this matter, and she was bound to pursue it to the end.So she nodded happily, and said, "I wonder if the imperial concubine knows that my Yin-Yang Dao exam is about to start?"

The imperial concubine is also a transparent person, she understands everything, "You are the apprentice of the gate supervisor of the Taige, do you want to take the exam?"

Shen Man nodded.

The imperial concubine smiled again, "This is indeed the style of the gate supervisor. She wants everyone in the world to agree with you, so she has this request."

"My concubine, I still need a letter of recommendation."

The noble concubine pondered, "Since the supervisor of the gate intends not to allow anyone to interfere in this matter, it is not good for me to come forward directly. Well, Xiao Dezi has a relative who guards the city gate, and there seems to be an onmyoji in his relative's family. Wait, but you are always a person in the way of yin and yang, so there is no problem in giving a letter of recommendation. What do you think of my arrangement?"

Shen Man got this advantage, plus he had the intention to help Concubine Ning get rid of this knot before, so he nodded in agreement.

"What the imperial concubine wants to know, Shen Man knows everything."

Received Shen Man's affirmative answer, I thought Concubine Ning Gui would be delighted, but unexpectedly, this dignified and elegant woman frowned slightly.She pursed her lips lightly, frowning in confusion, and wanted to ask, but couldn't.

Shen Man took the initiative to speak, and said eloquently, "Empress Concubine, although I may not know more than you, but one thing is for sure. That is, Empress Li, the accident happened because of you."

Concubine Ning Gui was slightly moved, she raised her head and looked at her with those deep eyes.

Shen Man continued, "At the beginning, some people said that Concubine Li had an affair with someone, and deliberately pretended to be sick and stayed in the palace to meet her lover. Do you believe it?"

Ning Guifei said, "At that time, I didn't want to believe it either."

"You shouldn't believe it." Shen Man's tone was quite agitated. When she realized that something was wrong, she restrained a little bit and said in a low voice, "When Empress Li entered Beijing and was isolated and helpless, she got your favor. Help. Although this "help" may be "a small effort" in your eyes, it is a rare warmth to her. After entering the palace, she met you again. You may not know it, but there is already a kind of love in her heart. Love is growing and sprouting silently.”

Ning Guifei sighed softly, "After receiving the news about her in the palace, I felt that something was wrong. But at that time..."

Looking at her tired face, Shen Man knew in his heart that Concubine Ning Gui was entrusted by Prime Minister Ning at that time, and many things were unavoidable.Besides, at that time, Concubine Li was very favored, and all women had a common problem, which was jealousy.Before knowing Concubine Li's affection for her, Concubine Ning probably wanted to do everything possible to stabilize the Ning Mansion's position in the court.

"I once learned something from Ding Feng." Shen Man took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "Didn't Concubine Li pretend to be sick and stay in the capital after receiving a letter, and then she was discovered and had sex with others?" Fornication?"

"En." Concubine Ning gradually frowned, as if she had realized the key point of Shen Man's question.

"As far as I know, the signature of that letter is not the so-called adulterer." Shen Man paused, and said earnestly, "The signature of that letter is you, Ning Hu."

Ning Guifei's face was pale, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.There was silence for a while, only the crackling of the candle flames could be heard.

"In the whole world, he is the only one who can pretend to be my palace to deceive Concubine Li..." Concubine Ning's voice was low and hoarse, full of guilt.Looking at her slightly pale face due to illness, Shen Man felt uncomfortable.But people are like this. When they don't know the truth, they want to know it at all costs, but after knowing it, they will regret being so persistent.

But for Concubine Li who died unjustly, it is right to at least tell the truth to the person she died for.

Shen Man also knew in his heart who the "he" Ning Guifei was talking about was.Recalling the scene in the dream, contacting the motive of killing Ding Feng mentioned outside the dream, it was this "he" who blamed Concubine Li back then, and then allowed Concubine Ning to be favored by the emperor, and since then he has dominated the harem.But Li Concubine's father, after discovering his daughter's abnormal thoughts, allowed his daughter to be framed, and then sought the position of Shang Shuling, which is not vicious.

Since Shen Man made this matter clear tonight, it can be regarded as an explanation to Concubine Li for himself.As for Concubine Ning...

Shen Man looked up at her, her expression at the moment was hidden under the dim candlelight, as if there was nothing there.But even if she couldn't see her expression clearly, even Shen Man could feel the sadness revealed from her.

If Concubine Ning had known about this from the beginning, would she have also fallen in love with Concubine Li?What will happen after the two people agree with each other?

As a person in the harem, I'm afraid the end will not be better than now.Perhaps Concubine Li also saw the flaws in that letter back then, but in order to fulfill Concubine Ning, she was willing to die.

But this is all speculation, and what is in front of us is the end.

Concubine Li died tragically. Although Concubine Ning was the most favored in the harem, her life was not long.

"Shen Man," Concubine Ning glanced outside, then said with a slight smile, "Thank you tonight, I'm tired, so please go back first. Otherwise, I'm afraid that some people will wait impatiently."

some people?

Shen Man looked back, and indeed saw a thin figure standing outside the window.

who is it?Who would immediately get the news in the middle of the night and break into the palace with great powers and come to the gate of the imperial concubine's palace to wait for him?

"She has been here long ago, just waiting." Concubine Ning Gui smiled slowly, revealing a vague meaning, "I feel that you may be able to realize what was unfinished back then."

"Your Majesty's Concubine?"

"Go."

Shen pushed the door full of doubts and walked out, and sure enough, he saw a person in front of the door.

This person is handsome and elegant, wearing a white robe.I don't know how long I stayed in this light moonlight, I just feel that my whole body is covered with Qinghui.When she heard the sound and turned around, her long black hair was gently raised.It was still the cold bone china mask, but the gaze under the mask flickered slightly the moment he saw Shen Man.But the tone of his mouth was not so kind.

"Xiao Man, when the imperial concubine summons you, come and see the supervisor first before going. Otherwise, you may not be able to leave the palace, and you will spend the night squatting at the foot of the palace gate wall."
