Twilight collected

Turning around several corridors, stepping on the green moss and jade steps, you can finally see the plain surface with clear water, and the rain marks are not dry.

"Zhiyuan, that was just now..." Yunyuan was shocked, she only supported the maid by Yiyi, not daring to look between the rocks.

"It seems to be... Lord Linggong." Zhi Yuan also had a pale complexion, her lips and teeth were chattering, she tightly grasped Yun Yuan's pair of bare hands, and took a half step back.

It was convenient for Han Xuan to raise his voice at this moment, his expression was indifferent: "What happened?"

The two were shocked when they heard the words, they turned their heads and saw it was Hanxuan, dazed for a moment, Zhi Yuan realized her identity, and hurriedly saluted: "Return to your lord, I just saw you...Lead the palace first...fall down a cliff and die. "

Han Xuan looked stunned, and hurriedly went forward to investigate, only to see that on the jagged rocks, among the green and red autumn trees, there was a smear of blood, gurgling from under the gray and white.

"It's true." Han Xuan frowned slightly, unable to bear it, and turned to look at his master and servant: "I have just paid a visit to His Majesty, and I want to seek advice on matters related to the inner palace. It seems to be coming here, I just passed by this place, and I heard the empress exclaimed, but I didn't expect it to be..."

Zhiyu didn't expect Hanxuan to lay it out like this, and felt a little panicked in his heart, so he just kept silent.His eyes shifted lightly, and he saw in the distance, on the Buguan Pavilion, Qing Rui was still committed to the ground, leaning against the railing, crying loudly.

Hanxuan noticed that Zhiyu was strange, and said: "It seems to be the person who leads the palace secretary, you call him here, and I want to ask clearly."

After Zhi Yu left, Han Xuan turned to look at the two of them: "I don't know why Yun Yuan is here?"

Yun Yuan immediately panicked, but she covered it up calmly: "I feel unwell occasionally...five inner stagnation...so I came here to relax."

Hanxuan didn't say yes or no: "The wind is strong here, and it's easy to catch wind and cold. It's not suitable for the empress to stand for a long time. It's better to go back to the palace and rest."

"Wind and cold..." Yunyuan heard the words touched her heart, her brows became more droopy, and it took a long time before she said: "Lord Lao is concerned."

In the words, Zhiyu has attracted Qingrui, only to see the tears on the young man's face, and the rain is not stopping.Qing Rui frequently covered his sleeves and wiped away his tears, respectful of his luggage, for fear of losing his appearance.

"How did the old man fall off the cliff?"

Hanxuan's words were urgent and his expression was calm. When Qingrui saw him, he knew what he wanted, so he hung his head and choked with sobs: "My lord has been lingering on the bed for a long time, and I am deeply ill. I can't bear the torment of the illness. Now that I see you entering the palace, I have to explain it properly. When the merit and virtue are complete, all thoughts will be afraid of ashes, and you will be free from the sea of ​​suffering."

Han Xuan seemed to be very relieved, and said with great emotion: "Your Excellency has worked hard all his life, dedicated his life, and finally achieved bliss. It is a blessing. You go back to Your Majesty first, and I will come right away."

Qing Rui is about to go, but has the intention of lingering.Looking back indifferently, he seems to have glanced at Zhiyuan beside Yunyuan.

However, it was only a moment before they left. Hanxuan sighed with lowered eyebrows: "The ups and downs of misfortunes and fortunes have always been for no one to worry about. My lord has been in trouble for a long time, but I don't think it will be a bleak end. My lord has been close to the Xi family in the early years, and there are still good branches to live in." , I am a helpless person, I am afraid that it will be even worse."

Yun Yuan didn't want Hanxuan to hurt herself, Chu Chu persuaded: "Your Excellency has just ascended to a high position, and the initial creation has not yet been achieved, how can you be so disheartened. Success or failure is changeable, but Xu Tu is still possible. Your Excellency must be the blue one."

Hanxuan smiled when he heard the words, took Yun Yuan's slender hand and said: "The empress should also say the same. Don't be too sad and disheartened. The empress is young and beautiful, and she will surely turn around."

At this moment, Yunyuan understood Hanxuan's intentions, and said sadly: "Glory, favor, and kindness are only fleeting and precarious. What I wish in my heart is that I don't have to be humiliated by others anymore, and I can live in peace without being afraid of poverty."

Han Xuan smiled slightly: "Whether it's fighting for favor or protecting one's life, if you have a wish in your heart, you must try your best so that you won't regret it for life."

Yun Yuan twitched slightly like a heartstring, and nodded slightly.Seeing this, Hanxuan turned around and retreated: "Leading the palace to pass away first, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be happy, I will return to the Dechi Palace first. The empress should also return to the palace earlier."

He only walked a few steps, but he heard a voice behind him: "Lord Linggong..."

Hanxuan looked back, looked at Yunyuan indifferently, saw her complexion slightly congealed, and said after a long time: "Today, I have speculated with the lord, and I have been enlightened by the lord. I am grateful. If the lord can use me in the future, I hope Give the adults a helping hand."

Han Xuan's complexion did not change, and he replied normally: "Your Majesty, you are being polite."

"If you don't give up, you can also call me Lan Ze." Yun Yuan blushed slightly, not daring to look directly at Han Xuan.

Han Xuan smiled happily: "Han Xuan made a note of it."

Without looking back, Hanxuan just went away in the autumn wind.He sighed secretly in his heart: he is just an idiot.

When they arrived at the Dechi Palace, they saw that Qingrui had retreated outside the gate, thinking that the emperor already knew about it.Han Xuan stepped forward, entered the hall with dignity, and walked slowly to the side of the emperor's desk.

The emperor frowned, his face was gloomy, Han Xuan didn't dare to move lightly, but stood solemnly, waiting for him to speak.

"Someone came back to me just now about his matter. Just let him go and handle it according to the etiquette." The emperor spoke wearily, and Han Xuan thought in his heart that an internal official must not be enough.

"The case is exhausting, Your Majesty, let's drink a cup of tea." As Han Xuan spoke, he slightly raised his hand, and someone from the palace offered him a cup of tea.

But the emperor pushed it away: "My nephew conspired against him, and the war broke out suddenly. How can I have the heart to drink tea?"

Han Xuan's heart tightened, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body."

"In the end, it is useless to lead the palace first. I can't even look down on the King Jiji. I have no trace of him. I have no clue so far. Now his son is using this to make trouble. The way is that I have harmed Zhongliang, foolishly misled the country, and even rebelled. In recent years Come on, I intend to take back the military power. This King Jiji is the most unruly, and this is why he was called into the palace. I don’t want the world to change, and I have not controlled it for many years. It was impossible to deal with it for a while.”

Hanxuan didn't feel his teeth were cold. That day outside Shushi Xishan Hall, he only made up his mind that day because of revenge for killing his father.Hearing the emperor's words, he couldn't help suspecting that Tianque must have planned it long ago, and it was definitely not a sudden arousal.The emperor doesn't know the details of Hanxuan, so he doesn't need to pretend, if Tianque's father is not his victim, and if Tianque wants to raise troops, he must get rid of it...

A chill spread over my heart, Hanxuan introspected: For several months, I have been dreaming too much, only knowing tenderness and tenderness, never thought that the confidant and lover, Xu is also a deep and unpredictable person.

Looking at the emperor in front of him, Han Xuan lost his mind for a moment, but he had to answer, so he said lightly: "Your Majesty governs the country well, such little thieves are nothing to worry about."

The emperor's expression did not show any relief, he just leaned on the case and murmured: "For today's trouble, there is no general available."

Han Xuan knew in his heart that although he had resentment towards Tian Que, he had no way out.Only by helping him achieve great success can there be a turning point.Hearing the emperor's words, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan, and said shallowly: "If you talk about generals, your majesty mentioned that Wei Rang was dismissed the day before yesterday..."

"Marching and fighting, he is naturally worthy of the responsibility. However, the affairs of his family are not clear, and he has concerns in his heart, which may make the army's morale unstable. Moreover, his father conspired against him, and his sincerity has not been learned. I also have doubts. "

Hanxuan didn't dare to rush forward, and said in a roundabout way: "If your majesty is not at ease, you can leave a group of people for his experience. Or you can send relatives and nobles to sit in the town and make him a deputy general."

"My dear..." the emperor pondered, "Concubine Yan's younger brother is the admiral of Jiucheng. He fought with the army back then, and he also has military merits."

Hanxuan saw that the situation was not good, so he said timidly: "Although the minister is outside the palace, he has also heard rumors. On the day when King Juiji entered the palace, Master Xi had made admonishment, and the court presented interests. If the son of King Juiji knew , I must firmly believe that the death of his father was the result of the Xi family's efforts. When the time comes to confront each other on the battlefield, I'm afraid it will strengthen his fighting spirit..."

The emperor closed his eyes and said nothing, the smoke from the stove curled up in front of him, and the distant shadow of the sun added to his haggard face.

After a while, he said: "Let me think about it for a while, and you can step back."

Han Xuan put away his expression, hurried out of the Dechi Hall, and hurried to the shelter.

Seeing Zhi Yu, he hurriedly said: "Go to the Maoyuan Hall immediately and call for Xi Jian to come out, and meet me in the Yujin Pavilion. I have something important to do. Don't disturb others."

Zhi Yu didn't dare to neglect, turned around and left.Hanxuan's mood was not calm, and he walked towards Yujin Pavilion.

After wandering in perplexity for a long time, I finally saw a clear shadow behind the green bamboo.

"The matter of raising troops has been reported to the palace. You have chosen an opportunity to speak out recently, and you will benefit from Chen Xiyi's leadership of the conquest. You must shake the noble concubine's heart and beg your Majesty." Han Xuan whispered quickly, looking around alertly. , for fear of their whereabouts being revealed.

"I understand. It's just that I seldom come forward to serve, and I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Don't be impatient, the son's side is in the ascendant, and it's far from imminent. If the concubine moves recklessly, it's easy to move her foundation."

Xijian nods his head, and when he sees a palace official looking for Hanxuan, he hides behind the heavy forest.

Han Xuan also changed his expression, waiting for others to approach.

"My lord, the lords in charge are all looking for your lord. It's dusk, and it's time to bring the lamp into the palace, so it's not too late."

Hanxuan didn't recognize the person who came, but he had nothing to say, and went to Dechi Hall again.

The series of palace lanterns were quite heavy, coming out from the ear chamber, Hanxuan walked carefully towards the main hall without taking a single step.Let the candle flame fumigate and rush in front of your eyes.

Before entering the door, I saw Lan Ze carrying a brocade box and coming with a maid.Seeing that Han Xuan was about to enter the palace, Lan Ze hurried to catch up and stopped in front of Han Xuan without saying a word.

"Niang Niang?" Han Xuan was puzzled, and couldn't bear the weight of the palace lantern, so he called out in a low voice.

Lan Ze finally said: "I... want to see His Majesty, and apologize for what happened yesterday... Please wait for a moment, Your Excellency."

Han Xuan nodded, he could only hold the lamp with his body, seeing Lan Ze hesitantly, he entered the hall.

Although it is August, the palace is forbidden across the mountains, and the wind is high, and it is cool at night.Standing in the courtyard, Hanxuan looked up and saw that there was a smog beyond the flying scorpion. There were autumn insects in his ears, and the fallen leaves were slanting.

"The concubine behaved badly in front of the imperial court last night, so I came here to make an apology." Lan Ze bowed his eyebrows and knelt down in front of the case.

The emperor was writing a quick book, but after saying "um", there was no further movement, probably because he didn't want to talk to Lan Ze.

Lan Ze was slightly embarrassed, so he got up quietly, opened the brocade box lightly, and put a plain porcelain bowl by the emperor's hand: "Autumn is dry, and my concubine stewed a cup of pears for your Majesty to moisten your throat."

The emperor didn't see any reaction, maybe he was impatient. Lan Ze stood beside him, and said lightly: "Since you are sick, go back."

Lan Ze was in a dilemma, stood there for a moment, then wanted to speak again: "Your Majesty..."

I don't want the emperor to be angry suddenly, "You don't know how to serve, and I don't want to care about my good night, but now you can't even understand human words!"

Lan Ze was shocked, and knelt in front of the case for a while, unable to answer.

Han Xuan heard the situation in the palace from outside the door, and couldn't understand for a while, so he ignored the numbness of his arms, hurried up the steps of the palace, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I come here with a lamp."

The emperor answered "Come in", and a palace official pushed the door open.Han Xuan was very worried, his steps were chaotic, and he quickly arrived in front of Yu Jia.

There were dozens of red candles on the palace lanterns, and the palace was bright and bright immediately. The emperor raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, then bowed his head and leaned over his desk, and said wearily: "The government affairs are busy today, you should step back."

Hanxuan saw that the emperor's face was as usual, while Lanze on the ground was standing on his humerus, so he boldly said: "After all, empress Yunyuan has a heart. Your majesty sees that your majesty is tired, so she wants to order the imperial dining room to bring in some sweets. Come."

Hearing the words, the emperor paused for a moment, then glanced at Lan Ze: "I don't care about this, you can take it back to make up for yourself."

Seeing the emperor's words to explain, Zhi Yuan hurriedly helped Lan Ze up, put away the bowl, and retreated.Hanxuan took his time and left with the palace lantern.

Just after leaving the gate of the palace, Hanxuan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Lanze walking away in a daze, so he handed the palace lantern to Zhiyu and followed him.

Because the palaces and gardens are built against the mountains, most of the palaces are hidden in the forest. Hanxuan raised a small lamp and saw the blue lake gradually moving towards the verdant trees.As the night gradually rises, there is only a smear of dark red between the branches, and the forest is gloomy, with only a few remnants of fireflies flickering.

When I saw Lanze again, he was sitting on a small bridge, with a small lamp at the head of the bridge, dim and dying, imprinted in the clear stream, and saw fallen leaves on the stream, lingering.

Hanxuan broke into a thin layer of sweat, stood under the bridge, looked at Lan Ze's lonely face, felt pity, and persuaded: "The war broke out, the state government is not stable, your Majesty is inevitably anxious, don't hurt yourself too much." Pass."

There was dew dripping from Lan Ze's face, "I entered the palace when I was young and was raised in the inner court. Later, His Majesty became an adult and became a concubine. For more than twenty years, from the beginning to the end, Your Majesty has never looked at me directly."

Han Xuan wondered, after all, people here are not easy to decay, never thought that Lan Ze already has about thirty people.

"From the beginning to the end, I am nothing more than a dog and a horse. In the eyes of Your Majesty, I have never lived once."

Hearing these sad words, Han Xuan also felt palpitations, but after thinking about it carefully, it was difficult to distinguish the difference.Just looking at Lan Ze crying in a low voice, Zhi Yuan accompanied under the bridge, also shed tears.

Lan Ze opened the brocade box next to him, and took the bowl, "Since Your Majesty wants me to use this to make up for myself, I can only treat it as a holy judge."

After saying that, Lan Ze's hands trembled slightly, he stared for a moment, and then sent it to his mouth.

Hearing the word "Holy Judgment", Hanxuan's mind buzzed: Lan Ze mentioned "from beginning to end" twice, but the beginning has its own, but where does it end?

In the nick of time, Han Xuan stretched out his hand and knocked the porcelain bowl over to the ground.The pear soup was sweet and greasy, and mosquitoes and flies rushed to it immediately, but after a while, those flies and insects froze to the ground and did not move.

Han Xuan stared blankly at Lan Ze: "If you can't kill His Majesty, you want to kill yourself?"

Lan Ze didn't expect Han Xuan to point it out, and he was also speechless, the tears in the corners of his eyes hadn't stopped, which made him even more frightened.

"What a fool! If you fail once, you will make a comeback! Before the incident is discovered, you will blame yourself. It is really stupid, cowardly, and stupid!"

Han Xuan was aroused for a moment, and the words blurted out.Before the words fell, he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he was at a loss for a while, and stood there blankly.

"Leader, you..."

Han Xuan flattened his chest up and down, concealed his expression a little bit, then said coldly: "Your Majesty, if you have the will to die, you can't blame me for being reckless. As long as you trust me, this matter will surely come true."

"You will also send Your Majesty..."

"May I ask the people in the palace, who doesn't have their own minds? You only think that your majesty is the ninety-five-year-old, but in fact, on the throne, it is just a puppet with a false name. You have been in the palace for twenty years. You should see it clearly. Fame is useless, power is real."

Lan Ze was in a trance for a moment, and after a moment of stupefaction, he said: "You and I just met each other for the first time, even if I trust you, you have far-reaching thoughts, so you shouldn't trust me."

Hanxuan's six gods returned to the throne for this matter, with a slight smile on his lips: "I have my own escape route, which is different from your empress. I just advise your empress, good opportunities are rare and fleeting." Hanxuan's beautiful eyes turned slightly, "If the other side Unexpected things happen, how can I ask who would believe that my mother, a concubine without favor, would trust me to plan this situation, and dare to use an abandoned child?"

Hanxuan turned around and left, and said quietly behind him: "It's a coincidence, I was careless in my words today, and I made such a lie with my empress. But once the words have been spoken, they will be overwhelmed. It's just that I have such intentions that day, and my empress should think about it for herself."

After walking a few steps, Han Xuan looked back at Lan Ze, in the dim light, above the sound of the stream, Lan Ze was even more charming.

"Your Majesty lives in the Xizui Pavilion?"

"Yes."

"'Go all over the green fields, play and get drunk, don't lose your youth', the empress must live up to her youth, climb on the branches, and enjoy the spring scenery of the mountains and pillows."

Hanxuan left without looking back.

After stepping out of the heavy forest Congsha, and arriving at the brightly lit place, Han Xuan was relieved of the suffocation in his heart, relaxed, and suddenly felt relieved.But thinking back to how abrupt I was just now, I felt a little scared.

At this time, Zhi Yu came looking for him, his face full of anxiety: "Where did your lord go? I searched for a long time, but there is no trace."

"But what's going on?" Han Xuan's brows were slightly flattened, and after hearing this, he recovered.

"The Palace of Dechi is urgently called, there is an urgent military plan, so my lord will cooperate with Yu Lin to welcome the important ministers into the palace overnight."

Han Xuan nodded, and wanted to go to De Chi Palace.Before taking a few steps, there was still a dangerous stone in my heart. After a few thoughts, I still said to Zhi Yu: "A small bridge can be seen along this road. Go under the bridge and see if there are broken porcelain leftovers. Take them and hide them." People's hearts are sinister, so I have to guard against my negligence today."

Although Zhi Yu was confused, she still walked towards the forest.But I heard Han Xuan chasing after me: "This thing is very poisonous, you should prepare the dowry and be careful."
