Xiao Yixuan's coffin was buried in the imperial mausoleum outside the city.The emperor specially sent people from the Ministry of Rites to take care of it.Perhaps there were many and complicated things to do, and I didn't come back until near dusk in the afternoon.Song Qingjin waited for half a day, and when she heard that Xiao Yixuan was back, she immediately ran out.Finally, under the flower tree in front of Qu Lan, I saw Xiao Yixuan standing under the tree.

He seemed very weak, but the moment he saw himself, he smiled quickly and waved at Song Qingjin.She immediately ran down and arrived in front of Xiao Yixuan.Xiao Yixuan stretched out his hand, stroked her hair lightly, and said, "Young concubine, it's good to have you these few days."

Song Qingjin shook her head quickly and said, "My lord, don't say that. I and my lord are of one mind. These things are what I should do."

Xiao Yixuan nodded.Tried to twitch the corners of her mouth, but still couldn't smile: "I just watched my concubine be buried in the imperial tomb. I heard people from the Ministry of Rites say that she is sixty-four this year, which is considered a long life."

Song Qingjin didn't quite understand the meaning of Xiao Yixuan's words, she blinked and looked at him.Xiao Yixuan supported his forehead, thought for a while, and then said: "I felt very sad at first. But when I heard the people from the Ministry of Rites say that, I felt a little more relief from these sorrows."

Song Qingjin felt that her tears were about to fall.But she still managed to hold back, touched Xiao Yixuan's shoulder, then turned to Ankang and said, "Ankang, the prince is tired. Take him to Xiaoxingju to have a rest."

Ankang served Xiao Yixuan and walked down.Song Qingjin hesitated for a while, then went to Ningshuang Pavilion by herself.Back in the house, Concubine Xian had already sent someone to deliver a letter to her again, saying that the day of entering the palace was set to be tomorrow.

Concubine Xian also begged for grace from the emperor, and the emperor also knew that Song Qingjin had contributed to the funeral of the old concubine these days, and he had already granted her the position of seventh-rank female official, and even rewarded her with clothes and brands.When Song Qingjin saw this letter for the first time, she felt very happy, but after a while, she felt that her inner emotions were a little turbulent and complicated.

If I leave here and go back to the palace.She can let go of others.But Xiao Yixuan was the only one who couldn't let go.She sat on the chair, and a scene of everything she had experienced since she traveled here passed before her eyes.She was surprised to find that no matter in the palace or in the palace, almost every step she took was accompanied by Xiao Yixuan.

This surprised her very much.It's like she was surprised that Xiao Yixuan had left a deep imprint in her heart without knowing when.It is said that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, and Song Qingjin traveled here as a bystander, originally wanting to be a high-spirited hermit detached from the outside world.Live a peaceful life.But all the plans she had planned when she first arrived here have been completely disrupted now.

And all these changes are because of Xiao Yixuan.For some reason, every time she thinks of him, or something happens to him, Song Qingjin can't help but look at him more and take care of him.She didn't know if it was a liking, but she felt that she hoped to see some different expressions on Xiao Yixuan's dull face. If these expressions were because of her, then she would be even happier.

Thinking of this, Song Qingjin suddenly felt a little reluctant to enter the palace.Baoxue and Cui dream that Song Qingmei looks thoughtful.Don't even bother.Song Qingjin sat until ten minutes in the evening lighting the lamps, but Song Qingjin suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Baoxue and Cuimeng, "You two, go help me and call Grandma Sun over, saying that I have something to do with her."

The two agreed.After a while, she brought Grandma Sun with her.When Song Qingjin saw her, she first told all the servants in the room to go down, and for a while, only Nanny Sun and her were left in the room.Song Qingjin poured a cup of tea for Nanny Sun, and said, "Mommy, this is the new tea that the old concubine gave me a few months ago. You can try the Yuqian Longjing in Hangzhou."

As soon as Sun Nanny heard the words "Old Concubine", the expression on her face changed immediately, as if she was sad.Concubine Song Qing thought for a moment, then said: "Nurse, I called you here today because I have something to ask you." After finishing speaking, Concubine Song reminded, "It's about the old concubine."

Nanny Sun nodded and said, "Girl, please tell me. I will know everything."

Song Qingjin smiled lightly and said, "Nurse Sun, I know that you are an old man who has served the old concubine. For so many years, you have been conscientious and loyal to the old concubine. But if you are so loyal, why do you want to Do things without telling us?"

Nanny Sun's expression changed, and she continued, "Miss, I don't quite understand what you mean by that."

Song Qing said: "That day I asked my mother if she had seen anyone before the old concubine passed away. You said no, but someone must have come that day. However, what is her identity? Is it worth it for you to hide it for her, mammy?"

"Miss Qing, I'm an old man, and I really don't understand what you mean."

Song Qingjin smiled faintly, and said: "Nurse Sun, on the morning when the old concubine passed away, I went to the room, and when I was leaving, I saw the brocade couch in Qingfeng Pavilion on the west side, in the room in front of the Small Buddha Hall. There are two teacups on the small table in front of the Buddha statue. Why is there still jasmine incense burning in front of the Buddha statue? Even I, who have not served the old concubine for a long time, know that the old concubine will not Burn the incense of jasmine."

After hearing Song Qingjin's words, the surprised expression on Nanny Sun's face disappeared.She said: "Miss Qing is really careful. She can't hide anything."

Song Qingjin frowned and said, "Nurse Sun. I just want to know that the old concubine passed away the day after this person came to the palace. Since you care so much about the old concubine, why do you want to hide it for her? I don't know." I believe she has nothing to do with the death of the concubine. Is her reputation more important than the concubine's life?"

Nanny Sun lowered her head and frowned tightly.I don't know what I'm thinking.After a long time, she raised her head again and said, "The concubine told me not to tell me."

Song Qingjin gritted her teeth and stood up a little angrily; "Okay. Since Mammy doesn't want to say anything, I'll go to the palace to check it myself. I won't send it away."

Nanny Sun stood up quickly.The eyes looking at Song Qingjin were full of surprise and doubt.Her face seemed to have aged for many years, and finally, she told the truth: "Yes, is it Su Zhaoyi from the palace?"

"What did you say? Su Zhaoyi?" Song Qingjin couldn't sit still any longer and stood up from her seat.However, Nanny Sun seemed to have relieved all her burdens, and even smiled.Song Qingjin looked at her in surprise.

Song Qingjin took a few steps back, disbelief written all over her face.Grandma Sun said: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, like a bone, stuck in my heart. Now that I've said it, I finally don't feel burdened."

Song Qingjin pressed the table with her hand.Nanny Sun had already turned around and walked to the door. At this time, she turned her head again and said to Concubine Song, "Miss Qing Concubine. I am also puzzled. When the master passed away, everyone was deeply saddened. Qing Concubine Miss Concubine even knows how many teacups she has in her room and what incense she is lighting, so are you absolutely loyal to your mistress?"

Song Qingjin was stunned.After Nanny Sun left, Baoxue and Cuimeng walked in immediately, but they saw her standing at the window, staring blankly at the tortoise in front of the window sill.Baoxue was careful, and immediately noticed that the expression on Song Qingjin's face was not right, she walked up and said, "Miss, you will enter the palace tomorrow, let me help you pack your things."

Song Qingjin's voice was light and ethereal: "No need, I'll clean it up tomorrow morning. The concubine Xian said that the carriage from tomorrow's palace will only arrive at the hour, so there's no rush."

Cuimeng also stepped forward and said: "Miss Qing, you are leaving tomorrow, don't you want to bid farewell to the prince today?"

When Song Qingmei heard Xiao Yixuan's three words, her eyebrows moved slightly. After a while, she shook her head and said: "No need. The prince is tired, so don't disturb him. I will leave early tomorrow morning. After I leave, You should also remember to take good care of the prince's body, don't make him too tired? Do you understand?"

Both Baoxue and Cuimeng agreed.After nightfall, Song Qingjin went upstairs early.Baoxue and Cuimeng also fell asleep one after another.However, although Song Qingjin was lying in bed very early, she only slept for about an hour after the whole night, and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

When it was daylight, Song Qingjin got up to pack her things.She took a few pieces of clothes and jewelry that she wears every day, and brought some broken silver, pens, inks and books.Finally, she went back and forth in the room a few times, and put the string of Buddhist beads given to her by the old concubine and the pearl flower found in Ruibing Palace into her bosom.

When the carriage in the palace stopped outside the mansion, it was just dawn.Song Qingjin walked towards the door, feeling very grateful to the concubine Xian.She said that she didn't want Xiao Yixuan to know, but Concubine Xian respected her opinion.

Song Qingjin got into the carriage, and when she started walking, she subconsciously opened the curtain and looked, but there was no one at the gate of the mansion.It seems that Xiao Yixuan is still asleep or just woke up.Song Qingjin lowered the curtain, sat down on the seat, and then took out the pearl flowers and Buddhist beads she had hidden in her bosom.Watching silently.

Su Yueyun had been to the palace the day before the old dowager's death, so there is a high probability that the old dowager's death was related to her.But the concubine is her own aunt, what did she do, or what did she say, that made the old concubine commit suicide suddenly?

Song Qingjin placed the Buddhist beads and bead flowers side by side on her knees.The death of the old concubine, the maids who had their hearts gouged out, the strange voices in the Ruibing Palace, and the talented people who suddenly became favored, all of this is too strange.Her thoughts now are the same as Concubine Xian's, she wants to know the truth as soon as possible.
