To the east of the imperial capital, halfway up Mount Qi is the Duobao Temple.

Most of the temples are light-toned and ascetic, and the monks are all wearing gray-blue robes, quiet but orderly.

In the easternmost wing room, there was a sudden "bang" breaking sound.

"Evil!" A woman who seemed to be in her forties violently swept the small incense burner on the table to the ground, her chest heaving up and down, panting heavily.

"The empress dowager, don't get angry!" The maid in Tsing Yi hurriedly raised her hand and patted the woman's back gently.

"Hoo, hoo..."

That woman, that is, the Empress Dowager Chunde, she restrained her ferocious face little by little, and regained her composure, but she felt a throbbing pain in her lower abdomen, and even had dizziness and nausea symptoms, presumably because she was so angry .

The Empress Dowager Chunde has a graceful skin, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with an air of grandeur, and she also has the dignity of a noble daughter from a family, but it's a pity that the fierce irritability in her eyes ruined everything.

"That evil is really a mad dog!"

The Empress Dowager Chunde tightly pinched her blue robe, her slightly wrinkled fingers convulsed to the point of trembling, her voice was weak, and it seemed that she was physically weak, "It's all right now, a person with a bit of knowledge Who doesn't know that Aijia has been sent to be a male favorite? How will the world think of Aijia?"

"Queen..." The maid is a confidant of Queen Mother Chunde, her face is full of worry, "Why do you send a beauty to the palace? That tyrant has never been close to women since he was a prince..."

"Hmph, he is indeed not a woman, he is a man!" The Empress Dowager Chunde squinted her eyes, remembering how the beauties who were sent back tremblingly told what they had seen and heard. It's really strange, they actually like a little white-haired evildoer, they really are a couple."

"Queen Mother," the maid said, "What should I do next? Now the tyrant won't let it go, will he?"

Empress Dowager Chunde rolled her eyes, she remembered the bamboo stick that was secretly delivered into the palace before, on which was recorded everything about Emperor Wu's favor on the white-haired boy.

And the Bi Lan who tried to get rid of Bai Miao before was actually the one who was arranged by the Empress Dowager Chunde three years ago.

Bi Lan is not smart, but she is not too dull, and she can barely use her.It's a pity that Bilan didn't know anything about it since the winter of last year. The Empress Dowager Chunde waited and waited until the spring of the next year, but she couldn't wait for any information. She could only guess in her heart that she had managed to get in. Chess pieces are destroyed.

The moment she realized what had happened to Bilan, the Empress Dowager Chunde's heart tightened, but she suddenly relaxed after careful consideration—fortunately, the Empress Dowager Chunde wiped all traces of it clean three years ago just in case. That's why this eyeliner has been hidden in the palace for three years, and even if she dies, it must be difficult to find out on her.

After relaxing, the Empress Dowager Chunde couldn't sit still after being quiet for half a month.

The information she got from Bilan was sent last winter, it said that Emperor Wu loved Bai Miaoyunyun, and she didn't know anything about it since then, but this kind of helpless situation caused the weeds in Empress Chunde's heart to grow wildly. Suspecting that Emperor Wu was plotting something secretly to kill her, he sent the beauty to the palace, thinking to test it out.

But Empress Dowager Chunde did not expect from the beginning to the end that it was her suspicious behavior that killed her life earlier; as for Emperor Wu, if it hadn't happened today, Emperor Wu might not be too lazy to take care of her himself.

"The Ai family doesn't want to sit and wait for death."

When the Empress Dowager Chunde was young, she was also a noble lady who was popular in the imperial capital, but how many people in the imperial capital now remember her former splendor?

Even when she was with the first emperor, she was also a noble queen, and anyone who saw her would bow down, so she would naturally not be satisfied with the current situation.

She dragged her sick body back then and came here just to save her life under the Emperor Wu, but the Emperor Wu's indifference to her over the years has only raised the ambition in Empress Chunde's heart, and she even complacently thought that Tu Xiuting was afraid of her Empress Dowager identity of.

"The mad dog's method is not as fierce as in the past, maybe this is the opportunity to mourn the family..."

The maid frowned disapprovingly, but it couldn't change the master's meaning.In the past few years, the empress dowager has become more and more irritable and irritable. Even though she has been with the empress for many years, she dare not persuade her easily.

The Empress Dowager Chunde continued: "If it had been a few years earlier, the mad dog would have been provoked by someone, and he would have chopped him off with a knife, but now, just a few men have been sent to dote on me..."

"Oh, he has tasted what it's like to be an emperor. He is limited by those regulations, so he doesn't want to be poked in the back!" The Empress Dowager Chunde was self-righteous, thinking that she had guessed what Emperor Wu was thinking.

"But Emperor Wu is a tyrant, he will be soft..." The maid could not understand the Queen Mother's thoughts.

"Hmph, what do you know?" The Empress Dowager Chunde looked at her plain nails. There was also Kodan dyed with bright red in the past, and she was envied by the concubines next to her. "Don't you know the rumors outside these days? What? Liu cage, Shi Nie, what does this represent? This represents that evil person wants to be an emperor, as long as he has this kind of thought, Ai Jia is the queen mother, he can't touch me!"

"If he moved me, the spittle of the courtiers alone could drown him, and those previous actions would be useless. In this case, how could he move me?" The Empress Dowager Chunde felt that she was right, even Selectively forgot who killed his father and brother when Tu Xiuting succeeded to the throne, and was not afraid of the courtiers' accusations.

The maid was speechless and could only keep quiet.

Empress Dowager Chunde beckoned, and whispered a few words when the maid came over.

Afterwards, she lazily flipped through the Buddhist scriptures on the table, and said with a smile, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, the servant understands."

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and a head cautiously poked out from the back door of Duobao Temple. It was the maid in Tsing Yi who was serving the Empress Dowager Chunde.

At this moment, she had already changed into a blue floral dress, she looked like those ordinary ladies walking on the street.

The maid looked around and saw that no one was walking out in a hurry.

After walking for about half an hour, the maid came to the country road, and happened to see some children playing around by the grove.

"Hey! Do you want to eat candied haws?" The maid smiled gently, raised her hand as a gesture, and then stood still.

Those children were all around five or six years old, and there was no reason not to be tempted, so they gathered together one by one:

"I want what I want!"

"Candied haws, candied haws!"

They clapped their hands around the maid, and the maid squatted slightly, and took out a string of copper coins from her sleeve, "I teach you a song, as long as you learn it and sing it where there are people, it will be yours. "

Saying so, the maid took out another bunch of copper coins, "Tomorrow I will go to the street to see, if more children learn the songs I taught you, then these are yours too."

The children felt that this was a good deal. After all, their daily life was singing songs and chasing and playing in the streets and alleys. .

"Then listen carefully..."

The maid squatted halfway, and her smile deepened.

On the second day, just after Qiu Wenzhi came down to court, he heard that there was a new tavern opened opposite Zuifangting, and the taste was said to be good, so he wanted to see it.

He himself has a hobby of brewing wine. Although he is not as addicted to wine as He Wenzhou, he also likes to have a drink when he has nothing to do. Today's early morning morning is just an opportunity.

The streets in spring have returned to their former bustle, with people coming and going and bustling. Qiu Wenzhi is a lonely minister, but he also enjoys the lively atmosphere of the people.

Suddenly, his feet stopped.

At the entrance of the alley on one side, several children seemed to be singing some songs around.

Qiu Wenzhi didn't want to pay attention at first, but he heard a sensitive word - white hair, and the word "monster" was attached to the white hair.

Recalling the news from He Wenzhou before, the person in the palace who conceived Liulong, Shi Nie and other objects was a white-haired boy, such a coincidence made Qiu Wenzhi have to pay attention.

He walked over, but his expression suddenly changed.

In the mouths of that group of children, they were singing - "Da Yin's dragon spirit is lost, there are strange things in the court, if you ask about the shock, a white-haired monster will arise".

Qiu Wenzhi's expression was not good, he stopped several children, and said in a deep voice, "Who taught you this?"

"It's the dogs and tigers from Huang's family at the end of the street!" The older-looking boy said, "They said this is a new song, and they can eat candied haws after learning it!"

Qiu Wenzhi nodded, "Can you take me to Huang's house at the end of the street to have a look, and I'll buy candied haws for you to eat."

Qiu Wenzhi handed over a bunch of copper coins, and the children immediately agreed to look at it.

After a while, Qiu Wenzhi arrived at Huang's house.

There are also quite a few children here, who are almost catchy with that song, and even many people babble because of the children's childish speech.

Qiu Wenzhi frowned even tighter. According to his wisdom, how could he not have imagined that this was a rumor specifically aimed at someone.

He went up and interrupted the children's singing, and said gently: "Who taught you this song?"

The child he asked happened to be one of the maids he saw last time: "It's a sister. She said that she would treat us to candied haws after we had a concert."

Qiu Wenzhi squeezed his phalanges, and told the children not to sing any more in the future, so he immediately called the servants behind him, intending to find the right and left acquaintances to enter the palace immediately.

After he sent someone to explain his intentions to the Prime Minister's residence, He Wenzhou and Suquan immediately handed over the entry certificate, and took Qiu Wenzhi to the palace together.

On the way there, he happened to meet Chu Ran who was in a hurry.

"Chu Ran? Why did you enter the palace today?" Suquan was taken aback, not expecting such a coincidence.

Chu Ran frowned, and said briefly: "It's not the songs sung by those children."

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"That's true." Qiu Wenzhi nodded, "Those ballads..."

"It's aimed at Your Highness." He Wenzhou walked into the palace, and said, "The person behind it must have gotten some news in the palace."

Su Quan frowned, "Your Majesty has cleared the inner court before, but there are still omissions."

"Where there is a place, there will be people." Although Chu Ran felt that Bai Miao did not have the ability to bring about a turnaround, he had heard what Emperor Wu said, otherwise he would not have heard the nursery rhymes on the street and hurried into the palace.

Although he didn't believe it, he still placed a glimmer of hope on Bai Miao.

This is for him, but also for another "self".
