The Golden Hairpin

In the afternoon of Tai Chi Palace, even the wind is soothing and quiet.

The high dome of the Lizheng Hall is a great household with grace and tolerance.

A place very suitable for kings and queens. She lives in it, like a peony blooming in Jinjinglan, beautiful and harmonious.

Having moved here for more than a month, the emperor suddenly brought Concubine Guo Shu to visit at this time, and she naturally knew what it meant. But she didn't realize it, smiled gracefully, and greeted them with a relaxed and natural manner, as if she was still in the Penglai Hall, holding the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Daming Palace, and even the world's lives, talking and laughing freely.

The emperor asked her: "How good is this place? The queen seems to like it quite a bit."

The queen stared at him with a smile, and whispered: "I don't dare to like it, lest the emperor grant his concubines live here forever."

The emperor looked at the most familiar and unfamiliar woman in the world, but he was speechless for a while.

Concubine Guo Shu covered her mouth with a fan and smiled: "So the queen still likes the Daming Palace? This is also true. The Penglai Water Palace is the coolest in summer. But when the golden wind will come, the lonely hall will be cold. I need to add more clothes."

"Even if it is cold, but when it comes to scenery, apart from the place where your majesty lives, there is the best place in the entire palace. I think if there is a chance, Concubine Shu would like that place too."

Concubine Guo Shu said lightly: "I don't dare to expect too much..."

As she spoke, she looked out again.

The queen has been in the harem for many years, knowing her well, and asking: "Did the spirit emblem be delayed on the road today?"

The emperor was also surprised, and asked: "Will the spirit emblem come?"

"Yes, she has always said that she wants to visit her Royal Highness in Tai Chi Palace, but it has always been inconvenient. Now that there is a chance today, I let people know that she was taken care of."

The emperor’s face felt a little difficult to look like: "Today I just want to say a few important things to the queen, so why let the spirit emblem come over to increase the trouble?"

Empress Wang smiled and stared at the emperor and said, "Concubine Shu is afraid that the emperor will feel soft, and the emperor's favorite spirit emblem will be there. Maybe it can remind the emperor one or two."

The emperor had known that she had been very clear about her intentions, and her thoughts had been pierced. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He had to say, "If the queen likes quietness, I can do it too."

Queen Wang smiled lightly, staring at him and said: "The concubine body does not love quietness, but for more than ten years, there have been countless blossoming scenes in the Daming Palace. The concubine body has always accompanied your majesty to see the beautiful scenery in the world... Allow me to stay with your majesty for the rest of my life, and work hand in hand with the old."

Concubine Guo Shu smiled and said coldly: "The Queen's heart is too big. Your Majesty is the Majesty of the world. How can you be the same age as a woman?"

Sitting in front of her, the emperor said with a smile: "After all, Concubine Shu doesn't understand. This palace is the queen, the main palace of your majesty. Although the heavenly family is ruthless, but the husband and wife for more than ten years have spent countless trials and hardships together. Under this circumstance, if there is one person who can The one who accompanies your Majesty is naturally this palace."

The emperor had a gentle and generous temperament. At this time, listening to her like this, and thinking of the past, she still looks the same as she was before, folded into three stacks of cloud buns in her hair, and the delphinium and golden hairpins shook her makeup. The colorful embroidery was brilliant, but it didn't rob her of her stunning brilliance.

This is the woman who has been around him for more than ten years. The beauty in the palace has bloomed like flowers every season, no longer the color of the time, only the person in front of him blooms more and more beautifully beside him, fresh and beautiful.

So even if he knew that she had deceived him, even if she had an unbearable past, he still comforted himself in his heart, in this world, only he is the most suitable person for her, no matter who she has experienced before, but Only by her side can she show the most brilliant beauty.

Thinking about it this way, at least, I feel that more than ten years of feelings are not wasted in vain.

The emperor thought, he couldn't help but sighed, looked at her and said, "The queen will be well-born, and I will think about it again."

Queen Wang Yingying bowed down, and when she raised her head again, the smile on her face was still there, but her eyes were moist, tears filled her eyelashes, and her smile was indescribably sad.

Concubine Guo Shu saw the emperor get up and walk out, and couldn't help blurting out: "Didn't your majesty have something to explain to the queen?"

Without turning his head back, the emperor walked outside and said, "Originally, I only said that I was visiting the queen's body, and I was also concerned about the queen. You know that Linghui is not in good health, and you let her go out without knowing how to follow me. It's arrogant to act."

Concubine Guo Shu was not convinced, and blurted out: "Ling Hui is my daughter, what's wrong with her coming here..."

As soon as she said the words, she knew it was wrong, and she quickly closed her mouth.

The emperor has left the Lizheng Hall and down the steps.

Concubine Guo Shu, who was thrown down, stood in the hall in a daze, and looked back to see the Queen and Queen approaching slowly. There was a meaningful smile on the queen's back, and she asked softly in her ear: "Is Concubine Shu planning to rely on Tongchang? But this palace does not know, in the past dynasties, which concubine relied on her daughter as a solid pet The higher one?"

Concubine Guo Shu looked at her smile, and an inexplicable fear suddenly appeared in her heart. She took a step back unconsciously, and said forcefully: "If there is a queen who has been demoted to the cold palace after giving birth, there will naturally be a concubine who will have a higher position after giving birth."

"Isn't that the phrase'to live' that I said at the beginning?" Queen Wang looked at her with a smile, with contempt and sarcasm in her eyes, only her voice, gentle and gentle, slowly, "Guo Shufei, one has no son. The woman who is still delusional to climb to the top of the Daming Palace, this palace really pity you."

Concubine Guo Shu's chest rose and fell sharply and looked at her fiercely. But for a long time, after all, she didn't say a word, bowed her head and turned and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

Just as Concubine Guo Shu walked down the steps, several eunuchs rushed to the outside. In addition to Changqing, who had been waiting outside, there was also the **** Dezheng in Guo Shufei's palace, not to mention the princess mansion and concubine. Several eunuchs in the palace.

The emperor had already stepped to the front hall, saw the panic expressions of several eunuchs, and asked, "Why are you panicked in the Lizheng Hall?"

Changqing and Dezheng immediately knelt to the ground, exchanged tears, and did not dare to speak.

Huang Zixian looked solemn, and reported on her knees: "His Majesty, Princess Tongchang was attacked at Pingkangfang when she came to Tai Chi Palace."

The emperor was shocked and asked: "Attacked? Was there any injury?"

Huang Zixian said in a low voice: "The injury is critical."

The emperor's face changed drastically and asked, "Where is Tongchang now?"

"Sent to the princess's mansion as soon as possible, and also went to the palace to call a doctor."

The emperor flicked his robe sleeves and strode towards the gate of the palace. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Fenghan!"

Xu Fenghan next to him hurried out to follow him out of the palace: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, the princess Jiren has her own life, I believe it should be fine..."

"Go to Tongchang Mansion!" He didn't listen to Xu Fenghan's words and interrupted abruptly.

Concubine Guo Shu went out with the emperor, her face was already pale. When she passed by Huang Zixia who was still kneeling there, she pointed to her anxiously and said: "So scared the emperor, wait for the princess to recover, you have to know something good or bad!"

It is impossible for the princess to recover.

Huang Zixia thought so in her heart. When Concubine Guo Shu left, she slowly stood up and sighed.

Qing Ming dangled, and the sky was long. Princess Tongchang has already returned to the blue and yellow springs, and has nothing to do with this world.

The prosperous scene before death and the sadness after death have nothing to do with her.

She raised her hand and looked at the blood stains of Princess Tongchang remaining on it.

This princess, who is envied by the world, grew up among the golden beams and jade pillars, covered in Luo Qi, surrounded by green beads—but who would have known that she actually died in the weeds and wild vines in such a remote corner at the double tenth. Among them—just left her maids for a short period of time.

The murder weapon was the Jiuluan Chai inserted in her chest, no doubt. After stabbing the heart, the princess died immediately after a short struggle. In her struggle, Jiuluan hairpin's hairpin head and hairpin tail broke at the junction.

After discovering the death of Princess Tongchang, the maids around her collapsed to the ground in fright. They were crying, and the jade pendant was even more frightened and crying, saying: "It must be Nanqi Pan Shufei here! She took it away." Jiuluanchai, now I have used Jiuluanchai to take the princess away!"

Others did not dare to speak out, but Huang Zixia saw their expressions, and the fear and horror in everyone's eyes showed that they were echoing the statement of falling jade.

The murderer fled to the outside of the square in panic, trampling on the weeds all the way to the corner, and over the walls of the square. The square wall here is close to the street that has just been cleared. The streets are full of anxious people. The government arrested a few people outside, and everyone said that they hadn’t noticed if anyone stepped out of the wall. .

It seems that the main clue of this case, in addition to comparing the traces at the scene, is to thoroughly investigate. From the heavy guards of the princess mansion at that time, who was able to steal the Jiuluanchai, and today is the nine Luan Chai stabbed the princess to death.

The person who can steal Jiuluan Chai must have a major connection with the murderer.

Huang Zixia was meditating, but didn't notice someone approaching him.

A clear and slightly sharp voice sounded in her ears: "Birds on branches, fishes in water, flowers under people. The years are in bloom, I don't know if Yang Gonggong is absent-minded, what are you thinking?"

Huang Zixia was in a trance, when she heard someone talking next to her, she was shocked, and she took a step forward before looking back at that person.

It was a man in a purple palace suit. It seemed to be in his early thirties. His skin was abnormally pale, his eyes were abnormally dark, and his slender and thin figure was leaning against the flowers and trees behind him.

However, even if the tree full of flowers fell on him, even if he had a faint smile on his face, he was still cold. His gaze fell on Huang Zixian's face, causing her to give a cold silence unconsciously.

For a moment, she thought of the last time she was in Tai Chi Palace, the man who had been staring at her, his gaze was like a poisonous snake.

Her eyes fell on his hand. The bowl is a large white porcelain cup with two small red fish swimming in the middle.

Seeing her gaze at the two little fishes, he smiled and said, "Does Daddy Yang like fish too?"

fish. The two fish, dragging their tulle-like tails, made a splash in the white porcelain cup.

Huang Zixia suddenly recovered from this gloom. In this Tang Dynasty, there is only one servant who can be qualified to wear purple clothes.

She couldn't help but bowed to the ground and said, "Yang Chonggu has seen the prince."

He looked down at her and raised his hand to signal her to get up. He looked at the slight blood stains on her hand and asked, "I heard...the princess Tongchang had an accident?"

Huang Zixia hesitated and nodded.

His expression was still calm, with only a slight arc of indifference at the corners of his lips: "Come on, stretch out your hand."

Huang Zixia hesitated and raised his hand and stretched it out in front of him.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist, his fingers were not only white and dazzling, but also cold and smooth, with a jade-like texture.

He dipped her blood-stained fingers in the white porcelain cup.

The dried blood stains peeled off in the clear water, and the small blood clots were washed away.

The two little red fish immediately rushed towards the tiny blood clots that had solidified, and greedily sucked the blood on her fingers. The slight numbness caused the goose bumps on Huang Zixian's arm to suddenly appear.

"Agashne, the most gratifying blood. I heard that King Kui also raised such a small fish, and Duke Yang can tell King Kui this trick."

Listening to his cold voice, she couldn't help shivering, and withdrew her hand.

Splashing drops of water fell on his left hand holding the white porcelain cup, the purple sleeves were wet, and even his pale cheeks were splashed with two or three drops of water.

He raised his right hand, gently wiped the drops of water from his cheek, and looked at her silently.

Huang Zixian only felt the sweat from his back ooze out slightly, and the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake came to his heart again. She hurriedly saluted and said: "The prince will forgive me! I am afraid that the younger one will go to the princess mansion immediately."

"Go." He was expressionless and raised his hand slightly.

Huang Zixia immediately stood up, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out quickly.
