Twilight GL

Just after the ugly time, the whole city was silent.Except for the patrolling guards, all the guards in the mansion have rested.Xuan Guo withdrew from the princess bedroom, looked at the pitch-black night, his heart was filled with desolation, he felt that his hair was turning gray.

After thinking about it for a while, he crossed half of the mansion to look for the house order, the house affairs are all in charge of the house order, he knows best what items are in the treasury and where they are placed.

Jia Ling was just sleeping, and when he was called up, he looked at Xuan Guo angrily, as if he wanted to make him look better without telling the reason.

Xuan Guo said: "His Royal Highness wants a heavy chain. Does the family order know where the chain is placed?"

chain?Jia Ling was taken aback, and said, "It's so late at night, why does Your Highness need chains?"

Xuan Guo was silent for a moment, then said: "Probably I saw something in a dream."

The family order was counted, sighed, and went back to the room to get a robe and put it on, and said: "lynching is not practiced in our mansion, where did you get the chains, go to Dali Temple Prison or the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment to borrow. I will be with you go."

There was a curfew in the city. After the curfew, they were not allowed to go out. The two sneaked out of the mansion, avoiding the patrolling officers and soldiers, and arrived at the nearby Dali Temple Prison.Tonight, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was on duty in the prison of Dali Temple. He was terrified when he saw someone from the Princess Mansion. He was afraid that Dali Temple would be targeted by Princess Xinguo.After Xuan Guo said that he came here to borrow chains, Shaoqing was relieved first, then curious, and asked: "It's late at night, what is your residence urgently needing chains for?"

Xuan Guo couldn't say that the princess had a dream at night and wanted chains when she woke up, so she said: "I caught a thief, and when I wanted to lock him up, Fang Jue's house didn't even have a decent chain, so I borrowed it from the noble yamen." .”

Shaoqing was shocked: "There are thieves who dare to break into the princess mansion? Is the princess jade body safe?"

Jia Ling thought to himself, what's the point of breaking into the princess' mansion, the thief even broke into our princess' heart and her dream, causing the princess to wake up in the middle of the night and ask for chains.On the face, he bowed his hands politely with Shaoqing and said, "The princess is fine, thank you for your concern."

The three jailers inside brought out a big chain, and Shaoqing waved his hand proudly: "This is the strongest and thickest iron chain in the prison. Even if the thief is Xiang Yu, who is the leader of the mountain, he will not be able to break free. ,take it!"

This is a big one, if you can't break it, you can't break it, but it may not be easy to move it.Xuan Guo and Jia Ling looked at each other, his heart was full of bitterness, he had to smile and thank Shao Qing.

Ming Su woke up in a dream, and did not go back to sleep, waiting for Xuan Guo to fetch the chain, but after waiting for a long time, she got impatient, put on her coat, got down from the couch, stared at the foot of the bed for a while, and looked more and more at the foot of the bed. Get angry.

In the dream, if you dare to say that you don't see it, you will see it, let alone outside the dream.

The night was cold, and Mingsu woke up from his dream, as if he had fallen into another dark and chaotic dream.

She stroked her hair, leaned against the edge of the bed, sat on the ground, and became worried.Zheng Mi used to be able to touch the top of her hair, but now that she's grown up and her hair is tied into a bun, if she caresses the cold jewels again, it won't feel good.

Mingsu is a little flustered, she doesn't feel good, what should she do if she doesn't like it?Thinking that Zheng Mi would not like it, Ming Su only felt that he had encountered a huge problem, and he was restless and terrified.

It wasn't until Xuan Guo and Jia Ling moved the chain back that she suddenly woke up. If she didn't like it, she was locked up, and she was not allowed to go anywhere, forcing her to like it.

The princess' bedroom was not allowed to enter without permission, so Xuan Guo dragged the chains in with great effort by himself.

"This chain is not usable if you want to commit crimes or rebellion. Shaoqing generously gifted it to His Highness, and His Highness will use it for as long as you want." Xuan Guo put the chain on the wall, said respectfully while breathing slowly.

As soon as he came in, Minsu looked at the chain and didn't listen to what he said at all.

"When I borrowed this chain just now, the little one lied that a thief had entered the mansion. Tomorrow, someone might come to ask His Highness about the thief. His Highness only said that he had interrogated him and let him go. The young one in the mansion will make proper arrangements."

Mingsu leaned down and touched the chain, made of black iron, the tentacles were cold and extremely firm, she nodded casually, making people retreat.

Xuan Guo had no choice but to salute and backed away.

There was only Mingsu left in the hall again, and the light of the candle seemed to dim even more.She was still in a daze, sitting at the foot of the bed, touching the strong chain from time to time, feeling extremely at ease.

Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes were no longer satisfied, but changed to rigorous scrutiny.

This chain is so heavy, if it is worn on Zheng Mi, will it hurt?

Thinking like this, she simply moved her hands, and the moment she moved, she knew that the chain was really heavy.She fastened one end to the foot of the bed, took the other and fastened it to her ankle.

Mingsu felt it for a moment, his brows were frowned like a hill, extremely serious.

The chain is not tight, it is around the ankle, and there is still room, but the edge is a bit sharp, and it is still heavy, which makes the skin sore, and it turns red after a while.If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the skin is bound to be worn out.

Mingsu opened the chain, found some pieces of satin, needlework and cotton, and carefully wrapped the shackles at one end of the chain.

It's a pity that she is not very good at needlework, no matter how meticulous she is, she still sews crookedly.

After wrapping it, she tried it on again, and it was much better. It was still heavy, but it didn't wear out anymore. As long as she didn't move around, it wouldn't hurt or hurt.Only then was Mingsu satisfied, and did not take off the shackles, sat leaning against the foot of the bed, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Sleeping is actually more at ease than lying comfortably in bed.

She even dreamed of Zheng Mi again, and she said coldly to Zheng Mi in her dream, if you come back by yourself, I will hate you less.

The empress punished Meiren Zhao heavily, and the turbulent harem suddenly fell silent. At the same time, there seemed to be countless pairs of prying eyes in the inner courtyard of the palace, staring at Meiren Zhao and the empress, waiting to see how they would confront each other.

Naturally, Meiren Zhao was not convinced and was punished, she brewed many tears, and ran to the Zichen Palace to complain, both inside and outside the words were embarrassing for no reason, and she never showed any disrespect to the queen.

All the people in the Six Palaces were staring at her. As soon as Meiren Zhao arrived at the Zichen Palace, the concubines sent out capable palace servants to inquire one after another. For a while, there were many palace servants walking back and forth whispering to each other on the road in the palace.

Zhao Meiren knelt outside the Zichen Hall and cried, her soft posture, charming crying voice, and tearful words broke the bones of the eunuchs standing outside the Zichen Hall, but the emperor never summoned her.

An hour later, Zhao Liang came out with the sage, saying that Zhao Meiren disrespected the queen, and punished her by half a year's salary, and ordered her to return to the palace and shut herself up for self-reflection.

This result not only caused Liugong to stare sideways, but also the empress was puzzled.

She couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking. On the one hand, there was a beauty he had loved for a long time, and on the other hand, the queen who had just entered the palace and had contradicted him before, so she should be tough or tactful to keep the beauty.

How could she stand on the Queen's side and punish Meiren Zhao again.

Zheng Mi couldn't figure it out. Many years ago, when his grandfather was still alive, the emperor acted according to the rules. He followed the way of a sage and loved the common people.

The harem at that time was peaceful and peaceful, and the concubines had their own way of doing things, and the occasional jealousy was never too much.The emperor also had concubines he liked, and several of them often went to stay overnight, but they were never obsessed with beauty. They were diligent in listening to the government and correcting memorials.

But in just five years, the harem was full of smog and cronies in the court, and the emperor seemed to be invisible, and he blindly urged people to build a palace, ordering all parties to present treasures and beauties.

The imperial court is not in chaos yet, and the world is considered to be peaceful. It depends on the stability accumulated over the past few decades, but if it goes on for a long time, within a few years, the dynasty will inevitably show signs of fading away.

The queen couldn't figure out how these changes came about, but her intuition must be related to the case of the Zheng family.If you can't figure it out, put it aside for now.With the example of Zhao Meiren, the palace treated the Hall of Renming with countless times of respect, and several palace officials who were in charge came to the Hall of Renming more frequently than usual.

The queen was investigating the dispositions of these eunuchs and female officials, and contacting their locations, planning to form a network extending in all directions, when Yun Sang came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, robbers broke into the Princess's residence the day before yesterday, and Your Highness was assassinated."

The queen stood up abruptly, and turned over several cups of tea: "Has the princess ever been injured?"

"The servant girl doesn't know, but I heard that His Highness has just entered the palace and is going to Nanxun Hall."

The Empress immediately went out, without even changing her robes, and did not say where she was going, she just walked out very quickly, out of the main hall, out of the atrium, out of the Hall of Renming.

The palace people behind hurriedly followed, Empress Yun Sangzhi valued Her Highness Xin Guo very much, but she was still taken aback when she saw her concern so much.

The queen's lips were tightly pressed together, and she walked straight forward. She took a small path, crossed a fake mountain forest, and walked the shortest path to the outside of Nanxun Hall.

The door of Nanxun Hall was closed tightly, and the queen was about to knock on the door when a voice came from behind: "Why is your empress here?"

When the queen turned her head, she saw Ming Su coming out from behind.

When the queen travels, if she wants to go to the concubine, she will definitely send the palace people there first and order to pick them up. There is absolutely no reason to be blocked by the cold palace gate.

Ming Su was wondering what the queen who was doing the same thing in front of the face and the other behind the back was interested in, when she saw her staring straight at her.

"Where does it hurt?" the queen asked.

Mingsu didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

The queen walked up to her, looked her up and down, her eyes were a little red, as if she was suppressing her emotions, she asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

Mingsu shook his head in a daze.

The queen carefully looked at her, and looked at her complexion, to make sure that she was really fine, Fang closed her eyes, restraining her heartbeat that had been accelerating rapidly since she heard the news of Mingsu's assassination just now.

"Can the thief catch it?" the queen asked.

It was only then that Mingsu understood what she was talking about. He never thought that in just two days, the news would change from a thief breaking into the princess' mansion at night to a princess being assassinated.After understanding the situation, she calmed down again, and said with a sarcastic tone, "Why is your mother so worried about me?"

Zheng Mi was naturally worried that she died from an assassination, the pain of a sharp knife piercing her heart, she would never forget it, because she knew how it felt, she would never let Mingsu experience it again.

He didn't answer Mingsu's words, and then asked: "Who sent it, can it be found out?"

She asked anxiously, her face was ugly, and the anxiety and concern in her eyes couldn't be disguised no matter what.Mingsu was stunned, for some reason, she felt that the queen was a bit pitiful.

The empress was wearing a light and soft skirt. She was wearing a solemn and solemn dress when she was standing in power. This gentle and soft dress must have been worn by her when she was living in her own palace.

She was so concerned, so anxious, and rushed to see her that she didn't even change her clothes.

But in fact nothing happened, the thief was fake, and the assassination was also fake.

Ming Su thought of himself, waiting for a no-returner for five years, every time he got a little clue, he tried his best to investigate, but the result was all in vain.

She wanted to say some soft words to comfort the queen, but she still didn't understand why the queen cared about her so much. She looked at the queen and asked doubts: "Why do you care so much about me?"

It was only now that Zheng Mi realized that she had lost her composure. According to common sense, they had only met a few times, so they shouldn't be so concerned about her.She panicked and wanted to cover it up, but she saw Mingsu staring at her with blunt eyes, puzzled, waiting for her to give an explanation.

The queen's heart sank, and Mingsu was not easy to fool.

The author has something to say: Xuanguo, that is, a scapegoat.

A lot of guesses were made in the comments in the previous chapter.

Xuan, Hei, Guo, homophonic pot.

For several days, I have been brooding about not being able to really name the protagonist's valet a black pot.
