[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Wei Rong then turned his head and continued to look.

There are regulations in the palace that it is strictly forbidden to worship ghosts and gods.Big brother's behavior is against the palace rules, but no one dares to make him bad because of such a trivial matter.

The eldest elder brother sneered, "Fourth brother, you are a Buddhist believer, why did you attack a monk today?"

Yinzhen's expression was serious, "The Buddha blesses the good, and he never plays tricks on the dog. Such things that violate the palace rules are not tolerated by the Buddha."

The eldest elder brother smiled and said, "Fourth brother, do you think it is inappropriate to practice the way of ghosts and ghosts in the palace, or are you afraid that I will make something."

While talking, he slowly approached Yinzhen, "Actually, if the fourth brother is willing to cooperate well, why should I bother with these things. Fourth brother might as well think about it."

Yinzhen remained silent, with obvious resistance on his face.

The elder brother sneered, turned his head and said: "What are you doing in a daze, keep going!"

Yinzhen pursed his lips, and while everyone was not paying attention, he swiped away, and a pile of magical instruments that were originally set on the table fell to the ground with a clang and shattered.

Several monks around screamed in shock, twitching in distress.These are all the treasures of their family, without these things, the formation can't be done.

The eldest elder brother was furious, turned his head to signal, and immediately several guards rushed up, captured Yinzhen, and pinned him to the ground.

"Fourth brother is going crazy!" Eldest brother sneered.

The palace people around all lowered their heads, watching their noses, noses, and hearts.

With the emperor around, the fourth elder brother is still the prince of gold and jade, but now the elder brother is in power, and he may even ascend to the throne in the future, so a concubine is nothing.

There are still many people who are wondering, who in the palace is not rushing to support the eldest brother, but this one is going to fight against it, is it true that he has lost his mind?

Yinzhen struggled to raise his head from the ground, "Brother is so impatient, isn't he afraid of going up and down in the future?"

Eldest Brother's heart sank, his eyes were cold, "Fourth Brother, let's take care of ourselves first."

He walked slowly to Yinzhen's side, the boots were an inch away from his cheek.

Wei Rong watched impatiently from a distance, Yonghe Palace is not far from here, why didn't Empress Defei come?

Finally, there was a commotion in the distance.

Accompanied by the sound of "Ms. Defei is here!" The guards surrounding her retreated like a tide.

Concubine De still looked calm and relaxed, she was dressed in a snow-green flag dress, with pearl flowers made of white jade on her hair, which made her eyebrows dignified and graceful, and she only had three or four court ladies and eunuchs with her.

Concubine De didn't seem to see her distressed son who was pressed on the ground, she walked all the way not far from the elder brother, her tone was humble and her smile was gentle, "Eldest elder brother is now handling the government affairs, and he is busy with various affairs every day, and the fourth elder brother is feeling unwell, so I will hand over to you." Let me take care of it."

Big brother narrowed his eyes.

Now that he has a big event to look forward to, it is not good to spread the reputation of treating his brother harshly at this time, this kid can wait and take it easy later.

With a flash of thought, he raised his hand towards the guards, and everyone retreated immediately.

"Then please trouble Defei."

Concubine De nodded slightly, and the two young eunuchs beside her stepped forward and helped Yinzhen up from the ground.

Because of the beating, the corners of his lips were stained with blood, and his forehead was also scratched, but he didn't care about the wound. He looked at the things on the ground, and made sure that these people couldn't continue to manipulate the Tianluowanxiang formation, so he followed Concubine De at ease. leave.

Wei Rong also let go.

She took two steps back and was about to leave, but suddenly she felt a chill all over her body.Looking up, it was the elder brother on the opposite side looking over here, with gloomy eyes that made people shudder.

Wei Rong just pretended not to know, turned around and walked away quickly, but he could feel that his gaze never left, like a thorn in his back.

When the person was completely gone, the elder brother looked away and smiled.

***

Another day later, Wei Rong completed the second painting for Concubine Hui.

After reading the painting, Concubine Hui nodded with satisfaction.

Taking charge of palace affairs these days, her brows are tired, but her spirit is very uplifting.It must be that her son is doing well, and she is also proud of it.

After reading the painting, Concubine Hui carefully looked at Wei Rong's appearance again, and laughed, "I haven't looked at it carefully before, but looking at it now, Wei Changzai is really a stunning beauty, much better than Qing'er."

Serving on the left and right were several concubines from Yanxi Palace, who complimented: "Your Majesty has sharp eyes."

Wei Rong bowed her head in a dumb manner, her heart fluctuated. At that moment just now, the way Concubine Hui looked at her made her extremely uncomfortable.It's not looking at a person's eyes, it's more like looking at some kind of meat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

It was just like the big elder brother's eyes on her the day before yesterday.

Concubine Hui's work is completely over.

That afternoon Wei Rong packed up her things and returned to Changchun Palace, but stopped when she approached the palace gate.

There were quite a few palace guards standing in front of the palace gate, a white and fat chief eunuch saw her coming up, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Wei Changzai is back."

Wei Rong recognized Gao Gu, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, pretending to be calm and asked with a smile: "Why did Eunuch Gao come to the Changchun Palace, did Madam Xi have something to order?"

Gao Gu smiled and shook his head, "No, it's because there are rumors in the womb these days, and people's hearts are uneasy, so Concubine Hui ordered that starting today, the keys to the palace gates will be released two hours in advance, and it is strictly forbidden to move around in each palace after sunset. I have given the order to patrol around and guard."

Wei Rong lowered her eyes, responded, and turned back to the room.

The night was shrouded in darkness, and the palace was extremely quiet tonight, with a sense of oppressiveness that all horses were silent and the wind was coming. Wei Rong sat by the bed and thought carefully, and finally made up his mind.

She called Yufu and Yulian, and told them to put the things rewarded by Concubine Hui into the warehouse.

"Now that the palace is about to be stormy, we should also be more careful, and count the paint easels in the warehouse and the rewards of gold and silver as soon as possible for future use."

Yufu and the others didn't suspect that if the emperor really died, they would move to the Beigong Palace for the elderly, and these rewards were the capital of their future life.It's better to tidy up early.

That night, the two went to the warehouse to tidy up.

Wei Rong slept alone in the inner hall.

In the middle of the night, suddenly a clump of flames erupted in the southwest corner and quickly spread throughout the entire west side hall.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and a young eunuch who was awakened yelled.

"No, it's out of water!"

***

In the dark night, Gao Gu stood in the pavilion outside Changchun Palace, waiting for news.

Soon, a little eunuch came out in a hurry, his face turned pale: "Eunuch Gao, Wei Changzai couldn't find him!"

Gao Gu was stunned, "What do you mean you didn't find someone?" Xipian Hall is a big fart, how can you lose someone?

The little eunuch was crying, "The little ones set fire to it according to the plan, then rushed into the hall and put the disguised corpse in, but Wei Changzai is not in the house!"

Gao Gu slapped him across the face, "You damn thing, you can't do such a small thing well! Where can they run, including the master and the servant, three weak women? They must have been scared by the fire and hid .”

The little eunuch was whipped and turned around in a circle, crying, "I have searched for all the little ones, and I have searched inside and out. The two maids are busy in the warehouse, and Wei Changzai alone is missing."

Gao Gu couldn't believe it, they had guarded the surrounding area before the fire broke out, and it was impossible for her to leave Changchun Palace.

***

Across the wide courtyard and fence, looking at the shining fire to the west.

Wei Rong was frightened for a while, her guess was right, they were really going to attack her.

Fortunately, after sending away Yufu and the others, she opened her golden finger and ran out quietly.Now it is hiding in the west room of the east side hall, which used to be the residence of nobleman Li Jia.Ever since Concubine Xi encountered a ghost here, the rumors have become more and more mysterious, and this place has become a "forbidden place" that everyone in Changchun Palace can't avoid.Even the little eunuch who was in charge of guarding moved to live in the farthest corner.

In the west side hall, more people rushed in soon, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

The ground was full of noise, and some young eunuchs began to search the entire Changchun Palace.

Two brave ones took a lantern to the palace where Wei Rong was hiding and took a picture.The gloomy scene was clear at a glance, and if he couldn't find anyone, he hurriedly withdrew.

No one was found anywhere!

When the news came, Gao Gu was terrified, he couldn't handle such a simple job, how could he explain it to Big Brother?

***

It was just dawn, and the elder brother, who had stayed up all night in the Hall of Mental Cultivation because of political affairs, heard about this and rushed to Changchun Palace angrily.

The court was already enough to bother him. He thought that Huang Ama disappeared and the prince died, so it was only natural for him to take charge of the overall situation.But the few old officials in the court held their heads stubbornly and refused to retreat, making things difficult for him everywhere.

Now even the harem doesn't stop.

"Why did people disappear?" Standing under the corridor to the west of Changchun Palace, he asked with a cold face.

Gao Gu trembled and knelt in front of the big brother, "I really can't find it. I saw someone go in yesterday, and the surrounding doors are guarded..."

The elder brother kicked him out without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Gao Gu's fat body flew seven or eight meters away before landing on the ground, almost holding his breath.

He quickly turned over and got up, kneeling to the feet of the elder brother, "The slave is guilty, it's all the slave's fault..."

The elder brother shouted annoyedly, "Hurry up and find it!"

Gao Gu nodded hurriedly, and led the little eunuch back out.

The elder brother stood in the corridor with a gloomy face.

He agreed to plan to send people to him.Of course, it is absolutely unacceptable to send the concubine of the emperor directly, so this fire was planned to get people out.

But at the end of the day, there was such a mistake.

Calm down, think carefully, Gao Gu has always been careful in his work, how could he fail to find someone this time, it's so strange...

As he was thinking, he heard a commotion outside.

***

In the east side hall of Yanxi Palace.

"What, I went into the water last night, Sister Wei..."

When Song Qing'er heard the news, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Chuntao quickly supported her, "Master, my condolences, this matter cannot be undone by humans."

Song Qing'er turned pale, pushed her away, and ran towards Changchun Palace.

She couldn't believe it, the people who were talking and laughing together yesterday were separated from each other today.

Panting all the way to Changchun Palace.

Seeing that the Xipian Hall where she used to live was burned to the ground, Song Qing'er burst into tears.She was still thinking yesterday that even if the emperor passed away, she and Sister Wei would go to the Beigong for the elderly, and they would still be able to spend their days together.

Just in time, several young eunuchs came out carrying a wooden plank, on which lay a dead body covered with a white cloth.

"Sister Wei!" Song Qing'er cried and rushed forward, tears streaming down her face.

Chuntao held her back, and kept saying: "Master, master, please let me go with your condolences."

The little eunuch who was in charge of carrying people was stopped and was impatient, but he recognized Song Qinger as his new favorite recently, so he was polite, "Song Changzai need not be sad, it must be that Wei Changzai left because he lit candles carelessly every day. water."

Song Qing'er immediately retorted, "Sister Wei is vigilant, and she warned me not to leave open flames in the room."

The little eunuch said awkwardly: "Hundreds of secrets, one sparse, maybe the servants are not careful."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew away the white cloth on the wooden board.

The body had been burned to the face, but the arms were still intact, with bright red nail polish on the pale fingertips.

When Song Qing'er saw it, she blurted out, "This is not sister Wei!"

Wei Rong never used nail polish, and was a rare concubine in the palace who did not have long nails.She said it was inconvenient to paint, but Song Qing'er knew that she just found it troublesome to maintain.

Gao Gu heard it from the side, his face changed drastically, seeing Song Qing'er wanted to step forward to take a closer look.He rushed forward and grabbed it.

"What are you doing!" Song Qing'er immediately yelled and struggled.

Gao Gu's heart ached from the big brother's kick, but he couldn't hold her, but instead, she grabbed her wrist and twisted and pushed him to the ground.

The young eunuchs who carried the corpse looked at each other.
