old grace

After Xie Qinghe's space was upgraded, he couldn't find time to come in and decorate it. Now the room is still empty.

At any rate, there were stone tables and benches in the yard, so the two sat down outside and said a few words.

"Second senior brother of yours and Fu Wei have a connection with the Sun Rising Moon Falling Art. Now it seems that Junior Brother Han Yun's Shouxin Dafa is not very good. In another hour, the two of them will exchange skins. If you still want to Going back, we have to hurry up." Xie Qinghe said.

Only then did Fu Chuan recall the secret that he heard just now, and felt a little puzzled: "Brother, you don't seem surprised."

Xie Qinghe didn't speak.

What kind of person Shu Hanyun is, he knows better than anyone else.

As early as 11 years ago, he knew that he should despair.It's just that he is only a mortal body, and he always has unrealistic hopes.

When I met Shu Hanyun today, Shu Hanyun was not telling the truth, so he knew that the situation has not improved, but worsened.He was not surprised at all when he heard what Shu Hanyun and Fu Wei said just now.accident?No, that was something Shu Hanyun could do.

If he stayed by Shu Hanyun's side all the time, staring at him for a moment, Shu Hanyun would probably be able to follow the rules.

pity.

Fu Wei is a good chess player.

That dose of phantom poison was too clever.

If Xie Qinghe had insisted on guarding Shu Hanyun, with the phantom poison in his heart, and the group of demons creating chaos, Xie Qinghe would not have survived today.

Fu Chuan felt that he might have hit the sore spot in the senior brother's heart, and all kinds of truths in his own mind were also knotting. Sometimes it was Fu Wei talking about the old things between the second senior brother and the senior brother, and then the senior brother was talking about the beloved... Hey , Is this the relationship between the senior brother and the second senior brother?

Fu Chuan was completely shocked!

Are men and men still...beloved?

...The little junior sister is gone?

"Eldest brother, you just said that the sun rises and the moon falls...Second senior brother and the emperor will exchange skins..." Fu Chuan felt that he had opened the door to an incredible world. , When the second senior brother comes back, it will be...???"

Isn't that a sign for the second senior brother?Is the relationship between the two of them good enough to "my wife sleeps with you"?

Xie Qinghe felt a headache.

Is the younger brother's focus a bit crooked?

Fu Chuan thought for a while before saying: "I also know that there should be nothing to condone in this matter."

Seeing him looking down at the empty stone table, Xie Qinghe comforted him: "He is your father. This matter also involves the destruction of your mother's family. You want to know more about him and everything about the past. The instinct of being a son of man. Everyone will want to know where they come from, what kind of temperament their parents look like, why they can't raise themselves and give themselves a normal family..."

Fu Chuan blinked, and wiped away the slight moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"It's not a crime to be curious about him, and it's not shameful." Xie Qinghe touched his head, "Will you take me there?"

Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Eldest brother said it simply, I'm afraid it's not easy to perform this technique. If he pretends to be dignified and difficult to distinguish between good and evil, let's take a look at it with the retrospective technique. Now that we know him If you're not a good person...you don't have to."

"It's not too difficult." Xie Qinghe didn't mention the painstaking efforts involved, "Since the heart is moving, why should there be regrets?"

Before Fu Chuan could resign, the next moment, Xie Qinghe had taken him out of the space.

The two reappeared on the eaves of the Tai Chi Hall, Fu Chuan stepped on the air and almost fell, but was stopped by Xie Qinghe.

At this moment, the two of them were only three to five feet away from the East Side Hall. Xie Qinghe released part of his cultivation, and his body suddenly became as light as a swallow. Holding Fu Chuan with one hand, he climbed closer to the east. On the beams of the corridor hall.

Fu Chuan was shocked by Xie Qinghe's lightness skill again, he simply gave up his weight and let Xie Qinghe run away with him.

Naturally, Xie Qinghe wouldn't stand on tiptoe like a thief, fall lightly from the beam, and just swagger into the palace gate like him.

Fu Chuan's small mouth was all rounded.

——Is this still possible? !

——It won't be discovered? !

——really came in!No one saw it!

……

Fu Wei made small talk with Shu Hanyun and removed them all.

As long as you pass the eyes of the guards in front of the palace, after entering the palace, there is no one in the palace, who will find out?

After all, Fu Wei was once possessed by the Buping Demon Venerable, and he was able to exchange skins with Shu Hanyun. Furthermore, he was not talented enough, and had a little dabble in various profound arts.Just as Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan approached, he became conscious, and was about to shout and resist, but Xie Qinghe had already sealed his tongue.

Fu Wei was speechless, and dropped a teacup on the dragon couch, which was about to smash a broken flower on the ground.

Xie Qinghe's hand appeared firmly on the spot, even the teacup and the tea soup were rolled back drop by drop, and put back on the tea table.

All of this happened between Flint and Lightning.

Xie Qinghe stabilized the teacup, then slowly raised his head and looked at Fu Wei.

Eleven years have passed, and Fu Wei is getting old.His body and bones have become stalwart, and his beauty has added a bit of dignity.

He is no longer the fifth son of the emperor who hastily forced the palace and stole the throne. In the past ten years, all the officials bowed down and the people supported him. It's a world away.

However, when he saw Xie Qinghe's figure, the trace of astonishment in his eyes still had a bit of the background of that year.

Like Shu Hanyun, he never thought that Xie Qinghe would enter the palace.

Xie Qinghe didn't hesitate to talk nonsense, and took out two real talismans between his fingers, which were burned to ashes in a flash, and there was a violent wind immediately, and the yin and yang qi between the heaven and the earth responded.He stuck a soul-absorbing talisman on Fu Wei's forehead, and said in a low voice: "Shoot!"

Fu Chuan quickly reached out to him.

Xie Qinghe took the palm of his junior brother, and the two of them flew into the void world of memory together.

■

Weiyang Palace, a certain late autumn.

From the main hall of Xihe, the woman's mournful and desperate cry seemed to be able to spread far and far.

A few old maids guarded the entrance of the side hall, and stopped the young prince in the palace room, coaxing the young prince gently, saying that the empress is well, that the empress is fine, that the little highness eats and sleeps well and lives in peace, she is the empress The biggest reliance on Yunyun... is not allowing the prince to go out.

The little prince was so angry that he jumped up and down, but because he was weak and weak, he couldn't break through the gentle net of the maids and nuns, so he screamed loudly.

Xie Qinghe stood in front of the bed blankly, watching the young Fu Wei go crazy.

This is not obsession.

The purpose of Xie Qinghe's trip is not to live a new life for Fu Wei, to end his demons and resentment.

Therefore, both he and Fu Chuan came here as bystanders, and could only watch Fu Wei act helplessly.

Fu Chuan who came with him also stood there dumbfounded, holding Xie Qinghe's hand, holding his breath, not daring to move, for fear that if he gasped for breath, he would be caught by the maids in the room.

After a while, several old court ladies walked directly in front of Fu Chuan, and Fu Chuan realized that they couldn't see him.

He looked at Xie Qinghe cautiously: Can't you see us?

Xie Qinghe said softly: "I can't see it, I can't hear it."

Fu Chuan glanced left and right, and suddenly jumped out of the window quickly.

Xie Qinghe was baffled by him, so he had no choice but to follow him out. Within two steps, he found that Fu Chuan had found a secluded place, hugging an osmanthus tree and vomited... After vomiting out all the contents in his stomach, Fu Chuan just He came back listlessly: "The world is spinning."

Xie Qinghe didn't expect to bring this kind of sequelae to his junior brother. He didn't feel anything, and he didn't have this symptom before?

The master of the Xihe Palace was crying loudly, except for a few big palace maids who served closely, the servants and servants of the Hegong Palace were all obediently avoiding them, fearing that they would find themselves in trouble if they hit the muzzle of a gun.On weekdays, the waiter room, where there were few people, was full of palace servants hiding their affairs.

Xie Qinghe took Fu Chuan to find an empty room to go in, first found some cold tea for Fu Chuan to rinse his mouth: "Are you still dizzy?"

Fu Chuan nodded, then shook his head: "I'm still a little dizzy, but it's much better. I shouldn't be dizzy again."

It was also the first time that Xie Qinghe "obsessed" as a bystander, and many details were different from before.For example, in the small world created by this piece of memory, no one can see the two of them, as if they are just ghosts.But the filth spit out by Fu Chuan still falls under the tree, they can also touch and use various things in the house, the water they drink will decrease, and mouthwash can also be spit into the spittoon.

In a short period of time, the two of them can exist quietly, but after a long time, I am afraid that ghost stories will really spread.

Fu Chuan was unwell for a while because of the backtracking technique, and asked: "Is that child just now... the emperor?"

"Well. As far as I know, the time we came here should be an important moment that can change his life. Something will happen soon."

Xie Qinghe just entered Fu Wei's memory, and did not take Fu Wei into his body as a monster, so he never knew all of Fu Wei's past memories and emotions, and was unknown to everything that was about to happen.

Sure enough, just a while after Xie Qinghe finished speaking, an eunuch in blue clothes and colorful beads rushed in quickly.

Several maids guarding the palace hurriedly came to see the ceremony, and even the old maids rushed into the main hall rolling and crawling all the way to report to the weeping concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang heard that the prince of the Tai Chi Hall was here, and was about to call the palace servants to wash their faces and put on their hairpins, when the eunuch holding a brocade box broke into the main hall, stood straight to the north, and shouted proudly. Drink: "Biography, the sage speaks."

Concubine Jiang cried so much that her makeup was messed up, and the eunuch Wang broke into the front door again, angry and ashamed.

However, when the oral order came, one had to kneel down and listen.

"Concubine Jiang respectfully listens to the oracle."

"The sage said, 'What is Xihe Palace howling again? You can hear her howling ghosts and wolves from half of Weiyang Palace! Wang Fugui, go! Teach her the rules with this duster! Move her to another place, far away Get out, don't let me hear her mourning again!' This is it."

After the eunuch Wang pronounced the oral order, everyone in Xihe Palace was stunned, and Concubine Jiang even lost her strength and sat on the ground in disbelief.

The emperor is extremely stingy with the temper of the palace, and the concubines who have not given birth are almost all concubines, and they don't even have a title.Having a child depends on whether the child is a prince or a princess. If you have a prince, you can be a concubine. It is not uncommon for Baolin and Cainu to raise a princess.

Concubine Jiang was born in a family, and her father and grandparents were all first-rank officials. For three generations, there was a princess who descended from the family.With such a rich life experience, and having a prince under her knees, she was granted the position of second-rank concubine.Except for Empress Zhonggong, almost no one in the harem is more noble than her.

The results of it?

What kind of oral order did the emperor send?

Scolding her for howling ghosts and howling wolves, saying that she was crying for funerals, asking the eunuch to use a duster to teach her how to behave, and even moving her to the cold palace?

Eunuch Wang had already opened the brocade box in his hand, and inside was a long-haired duster.Concubine Jiang was astonished, but she didn't know how to react.The eunuch Wang already had a grinning grin, and said, "Ms. Jiang, the sage said, have you learned your lesson well?"

With a slap, the duster was pulled down.

The maid next to Concubine Jiang stopped in front of her and helped her block the blow, a swollen mark instantly appeared under the silk dress.

The eunuch Wang said angrily: "How dare a lowly maid resist the order?"

Immediately, several hulking eunuchs rushed up, trying to drag away the maids who were protecting Concubine Jiang.

At this point, Concubine Jiang just woke up like a dream, and said sharply: "Who dares!"

"Naturally, slaves and maids dare not offend Madam Jiang." The eunuch Wang said he didn't dare, looking at Concubine Jiang without the slightest obedience, but full of humiliation and interest, "Slaves are slaves, and the empress is the master." , slaves and maidservants naturally have to respect Madam Jiang. But in front of the sage's oral instructions, the sage is the master and the king, and the empress is a concubine, and the empress must also respect the sage's oral instructions, is this the truth?"

Under the imperial power, concubines and empresses are like dust.

No matter how shrill Concubine Jiang's voice was, the women in the palace couldn't stop the menacing eunuch.

The loyal big maids were dragged out one by one after being smashed through the top door by wooden sticks, and the little maids were trembling and did not dare to come forward to rescue them.

Two eunuchs grabbed Concubine Jiang by the arms and put her on the ground. The eunuch Wang took the long-haired duster bestowed by the emperor and slapped her waist, buttocks and vest. Concubine Jiang screamed and cried until she was dying. Satisfied, the two eunuchs let her go.

"Your Majesty, tidy up and move to the North Palace tonight." Eunuch Wang put the duster back into the brocade box, ready to go back and report.

This group of people came in a hurry and arrogantly, and left in a hurry.

Fu Chuanming knew that this happened in the past, but he couldn't help but look sad: "Is...is my grandmother?"

Xie Qinghe nodded.

Relying that no one could see him, Fu Chuan went to stay beside Concubine Jiang, saw her dying with tears on her face, and said distressedly: "Why did you beat her? She just cried for a while. He came to comfort her, don't you?" Is it all right?"

The little maids didn't dare to come to serve at all. Concubine Jiang lay on the ground for a while, then suddenly got up after stumbling, and rushed to the outside of the hall.

"Aqia, Azhi, Yuhuan! Yuhuan!"

There were five palace ladies with their heads smashed outside the hall. Concubine Jiang rushed to the nearest one, hugged her head, and cried, "Yuhuan!" Then she went to hug another one, "Azhi, Azhi, wake up!" Wake up..."

Xie Qinghe stood on the jade steps of the main hall, watching quietly.

Fu Chuan whispered: "He shouldn't be like this."

Emperor Qianyuan was stupid, violent and self-willed. He was definitely not a good emperor. If the Great Demon Lord hadn't possessed him to help him rule the world for several years, the Zhou Dynasty might not have passed to Fu Wei in time.When Fu Chuan was sensible, Fu Wei was already in charge.He didn't know the harsh atmosphere of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Xie Qinghe embraced the shoulder of the younger brother, and patted lightly: "It's all in the past."

Fu Chuan couldn't help but look up at the side hall.

Emperor Qianyuan was a willful weirdo. He didn't follow the ancestral system in raising his son. He raised the children he liked under his knees, and asked his biological mother to raise the children he didn't like. Anyway, he didn't like it anyway.Fu Wei was the kind of prince who didn't like Emperor Qianyuan and lived with Concubine Jiang all the time.

The old maids still did not let Fu Wei go out.

Fu Wei sat on the couch by the window and looked out through the window.

——He saw Concubine Jiang in disheveled clothes in front of the hall, hugging the big palace ladies whose faces were covered with blood, and weeping endlessly.

This is just the beginning of the nightmare.

In the middle of the night that day, Concubine Jiang, who could not bear the humiliation, hanged herself in Xihe Palace.

The eunuchs who rushed to forcefully move to the palace happened to run into Concubine Jiang when she was about to breathe.Instead of stepping forward to rescue them, these eunuchs pretended to be surprised and sent someone to report to the Tai Chi Hall, while the others stayed in the main hall, admiring Concubine Jiang's ugly state of struggling and suffocating.

It wasn't until Concubine Jiang was completely dead that a few daring eunuchs put Concubine Jiang down, pressed her on a chair and carried her out of the palace door.

"The empress moves to the palace!"

Concubine Jiang was out of breath, and they forcibly pressed her on the chair, lifted her up and down, and kept sliding down.

Knowing that it was something in Fu Wei's memory and it had already passed, Fu Chuan was still blushing with anger: "It's too much to bully! She's already gone, why do you want to humiliate her like this!"

Fu Wei, who was standing in front of the window sill, also had a livid face, and his two small hands were tightly pinching the vermilion lacquered window sill.

Concubine Jiang's body was carried to the North Palace, which means that she followed the emperor's order and moved from the Xihe Palace to the North Palace.Fu Wei, the fifth son of the emperor who lived with his mother, also had to move out of the magnificent Xihe Palace and live in the North Palace with the old maids.

The North Palace is one of the palaces farthest from the Tai Chi Hall. It is not the "cold palace" that Concubine Jiang imagined, and it is fairly clean.

Concubine Jiang did not live in the North Palace alive, but her body stayed in the North Palace for several days.

Emperor Qianyuan did not make things difficult for the dead. He buried Concubine Jiang as his concubine, and only said that he died of a sudden illness.

Fu Wei was only six years old at this time, between sensibility and ignorance, knelt in front of Concubine Jiang's spirit in sackcloth and filial piety, weeping, kowtowing, burning paper, guarding the lamp as directed by the ceremonial officer... and, with the six sons of the emperor Fu Shi fights.

Fu Shi is the son of Concubine Yang.

Concubine Jiang is a second-rank concubine, and Concubine Yang is also a second-rank concubine.Ordinarily, the two have similar identities, and when getting along, they should be more polite to each other.

However, Concubine Jiang came from a family.She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she thinks she is talented and the number one woman in the world.Concubine Yang is a lowlife in the market, her father is a butcher, and her grandfather is not clear!

Ordinary husbands naturally marry wives and virtuous men. When it comes to the emperor, Concubine Jiang is a concubine, Concubine Yang is also a concubine, and she is not the queen of the palace. How can he control who has a high birth and who has a good temperament?Aren't they all concubines?Concubine Yang is knowledgeable and interesting, and knows how to please. The emperor naturally likes this beautiful, hot and sensible concubine. Concubine Jiang is beautiful.

Relying on her family background and her son, Concubine Jiang fought her way through the harem and climbed to the concubine position with difficulty.

Looking back, okay, a dirty bastard from the market, who just likes to use dirty tricks to flatter the king, is he actually on an equal footing with me?Is this worth it?Can this be tolerated?Along the way, they fought, pinched, and refused to give in to Concubine Yang's nose was not her nose, her eyes were not her eyes.

Concubine Jiang hates Concubine Yang, and likes to compete with Concubine Yang to be jealous. Fu Wei is raised by Concubine Jiang, so she will naturally be influenced by her mother.

The reason why Concubine Jiang was crying in the palace that day was because she was arguing with Concubine Yang, and the emperor favored Concubine Yang and reprimanded Concubine Jiang.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Jiang's crying did not get the emperor's mercy, but angered the emperor, and asked the eunuch to humiliate her severely with a long-hair duster.It was beyond the emperor's expectation that Concubine Jiang would commit suicide.After all, if the emperor intended to force Concubine Jiang to be killed, he would not order Concubine Jiang to move to the palace.

Now that Concubine Jiang is dead, Fu Wei has also taken revenge.

The concubine from the other palace came to mourn and cry, but Fu Wei didn't react at all, but when he saw Fu Shi, he was about to go crazy, and beat him up whenever he got the chance.

Concubine Yang cried pear blossoms with rain in her arms: "It's all my concubine's fault. If I didn't argue with Sister Jiang that day, I wouldn't have ended up here. His Highness the Fifth Highness wants to beat Di'er a few times, so he can be regarded as Dier's substitute for concubine." redeemed."

Emperor Qianyuan couldn't understand the tricks of the women in the harem.

However, he loves Concubine Yang, and Fu Shi is the prince raised under his knees, so he is naturally partial.

Concubine Jiang, a stupid woman who can't figure it out.Every day, she puts on the airs of a young lady from an aristocratic family, and feels that all the ladies in the palace are shorter than her.In front of the emperor, her father, brother, and ancestors would kneel and talk. Isn't the emperor's beloved woman more noble than her family background?This woman is stupid!

As for Fu Wei... the emperor could hardly remember what Fu Wei looked like, and how old he was this year.

"The child he is guarding, the beloved concubine does not need to have the same knowledge as him." Emperor Qianyuan said a few words of reassurance.

With just such a sentence, Fu Wei's life as a guard for his mother has become extremely difficult.

Originally, the palace cherished the descendants of dragons. When the underage princes and princesses guarded the rules, they only abstained from meat and fish, not eggs and milk.With Emperor Qianyuan's will, the custard in Fu Wei's meals disappeared completely, leaving only light vegetables and fruits every day, and even some sweet snacks were not found.

Food is not good, clothes and things are used, and they are all rough and difficult.

After all, Fu Wei is still young, so he doesn't have a deep understanding of the cheapness of food and clothing.

The only thing he clearly felt was that the number of old maids and nuns serving in the palace was decreasing day by day, and everyone looked sad.

One day, the old maid who took care of him since he was a child said to him: "Your Highness, if one day Aunt Yan is gone, it must be because the life is too hard and I can't bear it... The old slave who betrayed the master is not worth thinking about, you have to take good care of him." live."

Hearing this, Fu Wei jumped out of bed without saying a word, opened her small box, took out the golden melon seeds and gold ingots that Concubine Jiang had rewarded him at the festival, put them in the arms of the old palace lady, and watched eagerly. looking at her.

The old maid turned her back, tears streaming down her face.

Fu Chuan couldn't help crying: "They are all loyal servants, but unfortunately, the little master can't protect them."

Concubine Yang, who was born in the city, doesn't know what kindness and compassion are. Concubine Jiang couldn't stand being wronged, so she hung up a white silk and left, leaving behind a full palace of slaves and her only son, who became the fish of Concubine Yang.The old maid in the North Palace stumbled and fell into the well today, and disappeared mysteriously the next day. She died in three to five months. Yangu was afraid that she would not live long, so she lied that she might climb another high branch.

Xie Qinghe could only sigh softly.

Born in a poor family, no matter how hard life is, they are just one parent, three or five brothers and sisters.Unfortunately, born in the imperial city, if one of the parents fails to live up to their expectations, and the servants who have been with them for many years are accompanied by them, they will really die one after another, and they will not be able to cry.

Yan Gu eventually disappeared.

On that day, it snowed lightly and the weather was suddenly cold.

Yangu went to the salary collection department to collect charcoal, but she never came back.

Fu Wei shivered under the blanket from the cold, holding his small box full of golden melon seeds and gold ingots in his arms, tears streaming down the pillow.
