Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

Even a simple and intelligent person like Xiang Wanchun can find something wrong, which is enough to show how big a mistake Su Shuangran made this time.Xiang Wanchun didn't connect the incident with Su Shuangran at first, until one day he met the eunuch who had been ordered by Su Shuangran to meet her in Lingshuang Palace, Xiang Wanchun became suspicious.

However, Xiang Wanchun is partial to Su Shuangran after all, and he refuses to believe that people will do such a thing, so he forcibly buries his confusion in his heart.She thought that as long as she didn't think about this matter, it would be over, but Chengde's private letters with her were all urging her to take Su Shuangran more seriously.Although Chengde didn't talk about Yunyao in time, Xiang Wanchun already understood the meaning of his words.

It's impossible for others to stir up the relationship between her and Su Shuangran, even a person with deep friendship like Chengde can't do it.Because of that, Xiang Wanchun was so angry that he refused to communicate with Chengde again.Even though he didn't believe much in that absurd guess, Chengde's words still caused panic in Xiang Wanchun's heart. After all, many things can be explained smoothly if they are related to Su Shuangran.

Not to mention the eunuch who had a face-to-face meeting, just saying that she woke up in the Lingshuang Palace is quite strange. How can there be such a coincidence and strange thing-when she fainted, she was discovered by the people of the Lingshuang Palace and was not sent back to the nearest Instead, she chose Su Shuangran's palace instead.It is not ruled out that the eyeliner around her may be arranged, but if she really has a good grasp of her whereabouts, then why would people watch her drowning and not rescue her when they clearly saw that Yunyao was in trouble?It is indeed in line with Xiang Wanchun's dislike to make publicity that the matter of fainting is not publicized, but Su Shuangran kept the whole thing a secret, which made her feel that there was something weird in it.

There are some things that Xiang Wanchun still can't figure out, and pointing at Su Shuangran everywhere made her afraid for a while.At the same time, Xiang Wanchun was filled with shame, she actually had doubts and worries about Su Shuangran - she could doubt everyone in the world, but she had to believe in Su Shuangran!

It is understandable for Xiang Wanchun to be so partial and persistent. No matter Su Shuangran helped her escape from danger and brought her into the palace, even the thought of loving her and protecting her is worthy of her heart and soul.It's just that the random suspicion in my heart couldn't be stopped at all, and Xiang Wanchun had trouble sleeping and eating for a while.Feeling anxious and tormented, Xiang Wanchun felt that if the matter dragged on for a long time, her misunderstanding of Su Shuangran would deepen, so she went to Lingshuang Palace with the intention of returning her innocence.But because of overhearing that conversation, Xiang Wanchun was really ashamed.

"How is the matter handled?" The tone was much cooler than usual, and Xiang Wanchun couldn't even recognize the voice.

"The evidence is all gone. Concubine Kang can't find any clues anyway. Please rest assured." The tone was familiar, and Xiang Wanchun was stunned. He found that the voice was very different from the "Concubine Xian has offended" that day. Very similar.

"You have to be careful yourself, don't let anyone follow the matter to check you out." During the inquiry, Xiang Wanchun could even hear a hint of indifference.

"The servant understands. If the servant hurts the empress, he will definitely apologize with death."

"Okay, you step back."

Even if the words are ambiguous, no matter how stupid Xiang Wanchun is, he can still hear the meaning.That matter, Concubine Kang... Are they talking about Yunyao?Standing in a daze behind the woods, Xiang Wanchun was extremely confused, she just wanted to find Su Shuangran, but she didn't expect to hear these words.The confusion dissipated, but the mood was a hundred times heavier than before.Such a fact...how could she accept it?

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Xiang Wanchun stepped back nervously and cautiously. Unexpectedly, when he stepped on a broken branch, the creaking sound was especially abrupt in the quiet environment, and even Xiang Wanchun himself was startled.Xiang Wanchun held his breath and stiffened, not daring to move at such a time.Just as he was wondering whether the other party was paying attention to the movement, he heard someone ask: "Who is there?" A harsh and stiff voice sounded, not at all like what the person would say.

Don't dare let Su Shuangran find her hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping, Xiang Wanchun wanted to turn around and run away, but her feet were filled with lead, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't move at all, Xiang Wanchun was helpless Straighten your back and wait for Su Shuangran to appear.I have seen that bright and moving face thousands of times, but this glance still feels strange to Shangxiang Wanchun, and the tightly pursed lips moved a few times, but she couldn't utter the word "sister".

"Why is Wanchun here?" Seeing Xiang Wanchun's pale face, Su Shuangran had some confidence in his heart, his expression darkened, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long has Wanchun been standing here?"

The ups and downs of his heart did not calm down for a long time. After a long time, Xiang Wanchun asked in disbelief: "... Concubine Xi's death is related to my sister, isn't it?"

"No." Perhaps Su Shuangran's voice was as gentle as before, but it just fell into his ears, and what Xiang Wanchun heard was another flavor.

Xiang Wanchun didn't dare to look at those beautiful eyes of autumn water, the glance just now, the chill in Su Shuangran's eyes made her depressed and uncomfortable.Perhaps it was because the stranger in front of him was terrifying, Xiang Wanchun involuntarily took two steps back: "What were those words just now?"

"Wan Chun really heard something that shouldn't be heard." Seeing the disbelief and shock and fear in Xiang Wanchun's eyes, Su Shuangran's face became more gloomy and ugly, and her voice sank even more.

"Sister... admitted it, didn't you?" Xiang Wanchun asked in a hoarse voice.

Su Shuangran looked so far away at the moment, his cold face was filled with heart-chilling ruthlessness: "I said it, it wasn't."

The impatience-like and cold voice made Xiang Wanchun feel as cold as being immersed in an ice pool. Su Shuangran refused to admit that Mingming was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Why did she feel so disappointed?

Xiang Wanchun was astonished and overwhelmed, and was about to digest the shocking news carefully, but Su Shuangran asked the palace servants to detain her without giving him much time.Is this abuse of lynching? It can't be counted.Because Su Shuangran then spoke with Emperor Wen, persuading Emperor Wen to abolish Xiang Wanchun, who was a virtuous concubine, on the charge of secret communication.It has to be said that Su Shuangran is very capable, she can fool Emperor Wen into a circle with just a few words, and let her put Xiang Wanchun into the cold palace without any nostalgia.

With the framing of an oil umbrella, Xiang Wanchun was able to be taken away without saying a word, and she was only blamed for being so preoccupied with Yunyao's death.Facing Su Shuangran's targeted words, she couldn't speak freely.

The oil umbrella is exactly the one that Xiang Wanchun forgot to return to Chengde.

……

Looking at the bleak and cold palace in front of him, Xiang Wanchun sighed that things are right and people are wrong.I remember that the last time I came back was this time when winter was approaching, and Qinglian was by my side at that time, but now that Qinglian has left, the words and smiles of being willing to stay in this cold palace for the rest of my life no longer exist.It was a pity that Xiang Wanchun came this time, he was alone and didn't even have a court lady to accompany him.It was Emperor Wen's intention, because he was afraid that he would be full of resentment towards Xiang Wanchun's infidelity, so he made a temporary decision-since he is no longer a concubine, naturally he can no longer enjoy the previous treatment.

It's still the air leaky room, the hard bed, the thin quilt, and the old teacup.Nothing in the house has changed, except that it has been dusty for a long time without cleaning it.The moment he pushed the door, Xiang Wanchun couldn't hide his emotions and burst into tears.Whether it was missing Qinglian, feeling sad for Yunyao or blaming Su Shuangran, she could no longer tell, what Xiang Wanchun wanted was to cry loudly without any scruples, to vent all the depression and sadness in her heart.

Xiang Wanchun was not in good spirits, and she didn't see her having a bite at dinner, so she slept in the room until dawn with the cotton tires that had been dried.The next day was sunny, and the quilt that was washed in the sun yesterday should be dry, but for some reason it was still damp and unusable.Xiang Wanchun was unhappy and depressed at the time and didn't pay much attention.It wasn't until the quilt was gone for three days that Xiang Wanchun knew that someone was playing a prank on her, and that person was Concubine Hui who was already insane.

Concubine Hui has been like this for a while, and Xiang Wanchun didn't have any sympathy when she first heard it. After all, she deliberately wronged Su Shuangran but ended up killing Qinglian.But after a long time, Xiang Wanchun felt that Concubine Hui was very pitiful, and that her desperate attempts to change things still came to nothing, and the sorrow of the women in the harem was nothing more than that.
