Chapter 765: Five Kinds of Vegetables for the Deposed Empress in the Cold Palace (5)

The moment the door slammed shut, the Queen Mother suddenly swept the teacup off the table, and porcelain pieces exploded at Aunt Dan's feet.

"very good!"

The Queen Mother's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled this evil creature with my own hands. Why would I bother setting up a trap like the crows' curse?"

Aunt Dan placed the account book neatly on the table, then knelt on the floor, carefully holding the porcelain pieces between her fingertips.

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. Walls have ears..."

"Ear?"

The Queen Mother sneered, "Do you think the Emperor doesn't know? He knows it better than anyone else! It's just that because of my powerful family, he dare not act rashly for the time being."

"He can kill officials in the court and the country, and he can kill me, but if the rumor of 'crows are the culprit' starts again among the people..."

The Queen Mother's nails tightened suddenly, "His time as Emperor has come to an end."

"Dan'er, grind the ink."

The Queen Mother stood up straight, her wide sleeves sweeping across the table, "I want to write a letter to my cousin in Jiangnan."

Aunt Dan bowed her head in response.

When he turned around, his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Aunt Dan took the written letter but did not give it to the eunuch who usually delivered letters. Instead, she walked to a more remote place.

There, a man in a crow mask was waiting.

She showed the man what the Queen Mother had said and the letter.

After reading.

"I have...have done a lot for His Majesty." Aunt Dan suddenly grabbed Jackdaw's sleeve, and the emerald bracelet hit the other's wrist armor, leaving a fine crack.

"My son is only ten years old..."

"When you helped the Queen Mother to feed Concubine Rong with poisoned wine, you should have thought that this day would come."

Jackdaw pried open Aunt Dan's fingers one by one and looked at her coldly.

"The Lord has ordered that you can only be reunited with your son when there is no Queen Mother."

Rubble crumbled underfoot, and the black clothes blended into the twilight in an instant.

Aunt Dan slumped in the shadows, looking at the crack on the bracelet and smiling bitterly.

Father, like son.

The Queen Mother was wrong.

His Majesty has been patient for many years. After ascending the throne, the first thing he did was to deal with those princes who had bullied him.

Even though the third prince had a prominent maternal family, he still lost his life to a cup of poisoned wine.

How could he possibly be afraid of the power of his in-laws?

What he wanted was for the truth about the "crow disaster" in the Imperial Observatory more than 20 years ago to be revealed to the world, and for the history books to clear Rongpin's name for not causing the empress dowager's miscarriage, and for her mother's family to be framed by the empress dowager and cause the unjust deaths of hundreds of people even though they did not rebel.

……

Even as dusk fell, the lights in Canwu Palace were still brightly lit.

The young eunuchs from the Imperial Kitchen filed in and placed exquisite dishes on the faded pear wood table.

The roasted venison had an amber sheen, crystal clear bird's nests floated in the emerald soup, and even the most common vinegar celery was arranged into the shape of a butterfly flapping its wings.

Song Yuesheng stroked the edge of the gilded bowl with his fingertips and suddenly chuckled, "Eunuch Zhou, this kind of scene is probably beyond the rules."

"Miss, you are embarrassing me." Eunuch Zhou bowed, and the ivory plate on his waist swayed gently. "Master Su often said that it is easy to add flowers to a beautiful woman, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. A noble like you is just staying here temporarily."

Song Yuesheng understood.

He was afraid that the one thousand taels of silver would be wasted.

"Okay, I'll take note. Pick up the chess pieces and send Eunuch Zhou off."

"How dare I trouble you, young lady?" Eunuch Zhou retreated to the door first, "The servants will take their leave."

As soon as I stepped out of the gate of Canwu Palace, the night wind suddenly blew towards me, blowing the corners of my bright yellow clothes.

"Your Majesty..."

Wen Yu raised his hand to stop the shout. The black fox cloak was still stained with the scent of ink from the Taihe Palace.

"How does Duan Ning look? Is he still sick?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is in good spirits." Eunuch Zhou stared at the tip of the boots with coiled dragon pattern in front of him. "When I went in just now, the Empress was leading the eunuchs and maids to clear the snow by the wall. I heard that it was a vegetable field..."

"Nonsense!"

The loud shout startled the birds flying over the eaves.

Eunuch Zhou bent even lower, with his cheeks almost touching the snow and mud.

The young emperor felt the muffled sound of dislocated bones in his sleeves, and he laughed out of anger.

"Her forehead is as hot as charcoal. Why would she care about the vegetable garden if she doesn't rest after waking up? Can I shortchange her for food and clothing?"

Amid the loud noise of the vermilion palace door being kicked open, the young eunuch tremblingly helped Eunuch Zhou up.

"Master is really smart. This master's favor has not faded. He has given so many gifts..."

Eunuch Zhou said, "Talk less. What did I teach you? Watch more, listen more, do more, and talk less. It was Master Su who had foresight, not our family."

In the kitchen of Canwu Palace, the candlelight suddenly shook violently.

Zhenshu noticed that Song Yuesheng suddenly stopped eating and asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"somebody is coming."

Song Yuesheng continued to eat.

Eunuch Wu immediately walked to the door and looked around for a while, then sat back and said, "I looked around, but there's no one."

Zhiqi glanced at him and said, "Can you compare with the General's Mansion? Your Highness has been following General Song since she was a child, so naturally she is very sharp-eyed and much better than ordinary people."

Eunuch Wu suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Song Yuesheng smiled but said nothing.

She just felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

This defensive ability can only be detected when the opponent is close to you.

That's why she could tell that someone was coming.

"Da da da."

The sound of running footsteps approached.

Zhiqi also heard it.

She immediately put down her chopsticks, only to see Song Yuesheng shaking her head at her, pulling out her hairpin and casually turning it around between her fingers.

After a while.

A slender figure appeared at the door.

"His Majesty!"

The three of them knelt down hurriedly and saluted.

The man walked closer step by step against the light, and only spoke lightly when he stepped into the range illuminated by the candlelight in the side room.

"You are wrong. I am not the emperor's brother."

Zhenshu breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness Prince Yi."

Zhiqi calmly made way for him and said, "Your Highness, do you want to eat? I will go get you some more bowls and chopsticks."

Wen Yu sat beside Song Yuesheng, propping up his head and smiling: "Ah Heng, you don't mind, do you?"

But she stood up.

"You guys eat first, don't wait for us, I have something to say to Prince Yi."

Without waiting for Wen Yu's response, he grabbed his wrist and walked out.

The three of them were already used to it, and only instructed: "Then the servants will warm the food on the stove."

Wen Yu lowered his eyelashes and let her pull him through the corridor.

Song Yuesheng didn't let go of her hand until the door was closed.

She lit the candle and said helplessly, "I never thought that Your Majesty would test my relationship with Prince Yi in this way."

"Ah Heng, what are you talking about? I'm not the emperor's brother."

He looked calm and composed, and even his tone of voice was exactly the same as Prince Yi's.

Song Yuesheng sighed: "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here, why bother to act?"

As soon as the words fell, "Wen Yu's" eyes suddenly changed. The gentleness between his brows faded away, replaced by Wen Yu's unique coldness.

"…How did you find out?"

"Use your heart to discern."

"Who are you interested in? Prince Yi?" He took a step closer, his voice slightly lowered, "Just because he appeared in front of you first?"

Talking about both the present and the past.

Song Yuesheng raised his eyebrows: "Of course, Your Majesty. Although the palace is forbidden to discuss, the movements of the former and harems, which one is not spread like the wind throughout the six palaces?"

of course.

The real reason is still the same thing - his acting skills are really not up to standard.

Wen Yu pursed his lips. Although he felt a little happy in his heart, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "I don't believe you. You are a liar."

He waited for a long time, worried that the imperial guards would catch her, so he had people guard the way into the palace every year, but the candied haws she promised were never delivered.

Song Yuesheng was startled: "When have I ever lied to you?"

After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "No, Your Majesty, why did you come here alone late at night?"

The flickering candlelight illuminated the depth of his eyes.

"I want to get to know you again."

"what?"
