Chapter 585: Reminiscing about the Past in the Cold Palace
The sky is getting dark.
Liang Huan quickly climbed out of the window and looked around to make sure no one noticed before heading towards the Mirror Hall.
I didn’t see anyone along the way.
In the severe cold of winter, people usually don’t go out unless necessary, but at this time, there are even fewer people walking around.
To avoid causing another incident, Liang Huan carefully avoided the cold palace guards and hid in an inconspicuous small door. A servant stuck his head out from behind the wall, saw the person coming clearly, and trotted forward.
"The Queen Mother."
Liang Huan glanced behind her, but saw that no one was following her, so she followed the eunuch and turned to the corridor on the right.
The fire was burning brightly and the palace room was very warm. There were meals, cakes and soup cups just taken out of the basket on the table.
The waiter served her a bowl of ginseng chicken soup: "Please warm yourself up first."
Liang Huan swallowed the jujube cake in his mouth, took the small bowl, and drank one mouthful after another.
When I finished a bowl of hot ginseng chicken soup, my whole body felt warm from the inside out.
In order to pretend to be terminally ill during these days, she did not dare to eat more during meals every day. In addition, not only could she not have a good rest at night, she had to perform a fixed drama. Just listening to the chanting and the sound of wooden fish, there is no need to be deliberate at all, just the sleepy look as if he is about to die.
She has indeed lost weight, both from hunger and fatigue.
If she didn’t come to Leng Gong every two days for a delicious meal, she wouldn’t have been able to last this long.
Liang Huan put down the empty bowl, breathed a sigh of contentment, and asked, "Where's Gong Yangjing?"
Today, she made an appointment with Gong Yangjing.
That day they decided to activate Gongyang Jing and asked Chun Yubei to trouble him whenever he had something to do. But he turned a deaf ear and continued to indulge Chun Yubei.
Xia Houzhao had no choice but to transfer Gongyang Jing from the east gate of Hualin to guard the Mirror Hall to avoid Chunyu Bei. Who would have thought that Gongyang Jing could bend and stretch, and would not slack off even in the cold palace? . Unlike others who always felt that there was no future in being on duty in the Cold Palace, and that they could just hang out for a day. Xia Houzhao admired him very much and made him responsible for guarding the entire Cold Palace.
It was not until the night of his promotion that Liang Huan took Chun Yubei to explain to him that he knew the secret behind the many troubles he had faced, and he even recognized that the palace man he saw that day was actually the Queen Mother...< br>
It has been nearly two months since he was transferred to the cold palace.
After Gao Hao learned about the dispute between Gong Yangjing and Chun Yubei, he did not replace him.
As expected, the Cold Palace is indeed a place where people can easily relax their vigilance.
"Queen Mother, Master Gongyang is here." The chamberlain said suddenly.
But today, she didn’t come just for food and drink.
In addition to Hulu Qiguang sending a secret report from the front line, she also wanted to explain Wei Zhen'er's matter to Gong Yangjing.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Liang Huan was shocked when she saw the person in front of her who was bowing respectfully. Tears instantly fell down. She didn't even think about whether she was rude or not, so she got up and rushed forward. .
She grabbed his arm with both hands, looked up and down, and confirmed it over and over again.
"Wang Tingyue...it's really you! You're not dead! That's great..."
Liang Huan choked up: "You don't know, I asked people to find you... but they told me that you were dead..."
Wang Tingyue's eyes were filled with tears: "It's my incompetence that not only made the Queen Mother Worrying about my minister, I also failed to live up to the late emperor's entrustment... Let the jackals take advantage of me, causing the Queen Mother to be trapped in the harem, isolated and helpless..."
He hung his head deeply, full of guilt and self-blame. Liang Huan shook her head: "Wang Tingyue, don't say that, as long as you are fine, really, I just want you to live well, not to be harmed, and not to end up like Lu Huai and Pei Yao, who died tragically." I heard that that day You don't know how guilty I am that something happened to you, and I just wish I couldn't go to Pingtang in person..."
She sniffed, cried and laughed: "Fortunately, you're fine. .”
Wang Tingyue looked at her silently, with a hint of pain in his eyes.
When he was a child, he always thought that as long as he grew up, he would be able to take care of her and protect her.
But when she really grew up, let alone taking care of and protecting her, even when she was in the most difficult time, he failed to appear by her side in time to accompany her and help her.
On the contrary, she tried her best to save him and protect him again and again...
On her overly thin face, a pair of eyes were slightly red, and thousands of words were stuck in her throat, not one word. Can't even tell.
Liang Huan wiped away her tears and asked after a moment: "What on earth is going on?"
Wang Tingyue pursed his lips slightly and remained silent for a long time.
The chamberlain handed over a clean Ge towel, and Liang Huan simply wiped her face, and her mood calmed down a lot.
To be on the safe side, Gongyang Jing personally stood guard outside the door.
Wang Tingyue and Liang Han were sitting across a table.
Regarding what happened in Pingtang, Wang Tingyue said very briefly.
Pingtang is located on the riverside. For some reason, it rained continuously after winter this year, and the river surged. A rare winter flood occurred, and the people suffered a lot.
On the night of the flood, he was planning to take a rest, but suddenly he thought of a way to control the winter flood, so he rushed back to the government office that night. After finishing his work, he returned to the mansion and found that there was a fire in the mansion.
He wanted to save people, but was stopped by the man in black who had not yet left.
The man in black repeatedly struck cruelly, obviously coming for him, but he was outnumbered and he couldn't get away to save others, and his injuries increased more and more, until he later met with a When the men in black were fighting, they both fell into the river.
When he woke up again, he found that he was in a small boat. It turned out that he was washed downstream by the river and was rescued by a local fisherman.
But he was too seriously injured and couldn't get off the ground at all.
When he was fully recovered, he immediately went to the town to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, the two countries had been at war for several days, and even a new emperor had ascended the throne.
He didn’t know what had happened, and he thought that his body had not fully recovered, so even traveling thousands of miles back to Jinye would be useless, so he headed to Jinzhou, hoping to find Hu Lu Qiguang to find out...< br>
After saying that, he took out Hulu Qiguang’s secret letter from his arms and handed it to Liang Huan.
Liang Huan clutched the secret letter and could not say any words of comfort.
“Before, I suspected that it was Gao Hao who did it, but later I found out it wasn’t. I also asked Gao Yang, and it wasn’t Lu Xuan... I’m sorry, I still can’t be sure who did it—— "
"Ah Huan, don't say you're sorry, this is not your fault, you have endured too much alone..." His eyes were instantly filled with moisture, Wang Tingyue lowered his head and did not say anything further.
He has heard too many rumors about the Queen Mother and the New Emperor.
He didn’t know how Yu Wenjue felt after hearing those words, and there was no emotion on his face, but he seemed to understand why Lu Xiu, who became Zhou Jun, seemed to be a completely different person. .
When they met again in the military camp, with just one glance, he could see the determination in his eyes to destroy Da Qi.
Wang Tingyue raised his eyes to look at Liang Han several times, but finally swallowed his words and sighed secretly.
The day he left Pingcheng, he promised him.
