Three Years After Falling Off the Cliff

It is said that the young man had been in the dark and silent prison for a long time. When he was dragged out of the prison and saw the small lamp on the wall, he found the candlelight dazzling and he could not help but shield his eyes with his dirty hands.

"Zhou Huaiji, from Yan State Palace, has traveled to nearly ten countries including Nanxiang, Nanxu, and Changlie." Zhan, the Grand Master, flipped through her information and said, "The first time he entered Dalong was 28 years ago. Am I right?"

The young man narrowed his eyes to adjust to the dazzling candlelight, and said tremblingly, "Please understand, Your Majesty, I only want to make a living for you. I don't know why I offended you and said that she is a noble lady. She took advantage of her power to bully you and framed me like this."

Seeing her frightened scholarly appearance, Dajiufu Zhan didn't say anything, but handed the thick stack of papers to Sui Tingheng.

This stack of papers records Mo Shuo's life, and her contacts with He Dian Dao after she entered Dalong.

The noble lady was referring to her as the Princess?
Zhan Ba ​​whispered, "Your Highness, this Your Highness said that she is not here..."

"I know." Sui Tingheng raised his hand to stop Zhan Ba ​​from finishing her words, "I and my father both know this."
Zhan was greatly shocked. It turned out that you were her confidant when the princess was with him. No wonder you were trusted so much.

It is said that the young male palace was even more surprised than Zhan Ba. He looked up at Mo Da and it seemed that Huang Heng believed that he had such trust in the female palace who once had a good relationship with Prince Ning.

In an instant, countless speculations emerged in his mind and his face turned pale.

The two kings rebelled, the late emperor was angered to death, Concubine Zeng died in a fire, and Prince Ning lost his throne. Behind all these events, the biggest beneficiary was the once unknown Prince Li, the current Emperor Dalong.

No wonder Wu Heng was willing to support Prince Ning back then, and even opposed Concubine Zeng in the court. It must be that they have been arguing with Prince Ning for a long time!
If you want to understand this point, all the vitality of the male palace will be released to you.
While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. The scheming Prince Li could not bear the fisherman so much that he even deceived the whole day and the palace.

Zhan Ba ​​saw that Zhou Huaiji suddenly became depressed, as if the whole palace had lost its vitality. Even the look in Dajiu's eyes became terrified and desperate. He looked at Dajiu with some doubt.
Look, we haven’t said anything yet, and we haven’t even been punished yet, so why is this palace starting to get scared?
With such little courage, why are you running to Dalong to be a spy?
"If you are willing to say it, I will not force you." Sui Tingheng threw the stack of papers casually on the table, as if Zhou Huaiji thought he had planned everything for her life, but now he thought it was worthless.

"No matter which country you send her to, if she only knows how to look at the king of the country, she is destined to become a wise ruler." Sui Tingheng stood up and said to Zhan Ba, "If she is willing to talk more, there is no need to ask her again in the future. She is a thief who was caught stealing money. This is not worth the trouble."

To such a proud Ningdian, death was not so terrible. What was terrible was that she died silently, and even was despised and cursed by the emperor behind her back.

The Nian Nandian raised her head and looked at Sui Tingheng, her eyes full of hatred and resentment.

"It's a pity that I've given up. I just want to know how many princes are truly loyal to the emperor?" The young male prince laughed and said, "The emperor has made such a mess. You can slowly fix it!"

"Seeking fame and reputation, pretending to be profound." Sui Tingheng stopped and looked at him coldly, "Kill those who are vulgar and shallow."

"Do you really want to know the secrets of this old minister?" Provoked by this "pretentious" remark, the old minister was willing to let Sui Tingheng leave like this. "You also know that there is a force behind Prince Ning..."

She thought that what she said to her could arouse Sui Tingheng's heart, but she didn't expect that he would stop and almost walked around the corner and disappeared.

"To answer you, I am her strategist, how can you, Dalong, do this to me!"
It seems that she should have died in glory, should have died in the temple where she was remembered and admired, but in the name of the thief, she died silently.

"Dian Yu, how do we deal with this palace?"
"Kill with a stick."

Timothy lit the lantern in the courtyard and saw the light in the long corridor. It was empty and quiet here, filled with a musty and foul smell.
The moment the prison door opens, you look up and see the sky full of stars in your heart. The night wind sends you the rich fragrance of the heart-warming flowers, covering your heart with her scent that overflows from the prison.

"Your Highness!" When the Jinwu Guards and eunuchs waiting outside saw Sui Tingheng finally come out, Mo Wen hurriedly brought the lantern to light her way. "Your Highness, Her Majesty and the Queen saw that you had not returned to the palace yet, and have sent Your Highness to inquire about your heart twice."

"Let's go back to the Palace of Seal of Heaven and change clothes first, and then I'll go to see my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress." Sui Tingheng handed the lantern in his hand to the eunuch beside him, and sat on the small sedan chair and said, "Mo Wen, tomorrow you and Mo Yu will go to the Mei Mansion and the Liu Mansion. I should comfort them if they are wronged."

"exist."

The next morning, Mo Wen looked at the two gift lists and felt even more respectful towards Mo Heng.
The two gift lists seem to be of similar value, but this list was personally drafted by the emperor, and each reward was personally reviewed by the emperor, so naturally his intentions were the same.
Look, Liu Heng went to give the reward to her, but she sent it to Xin Mo Yu, and left Xin Mo Fu herself.

Although she was in the noble palace, she was also particular about the elegance of the grass and trees in the mansion. The most rare thing was that although she was a civil official, she was not arrogant towards the eunuchs in the palace.

"Thank you for taking the trouble to come here, Eunuch Mo Wen." Liu Qiongzhi welcomed Mo Wen into the main hall and asked him to sit down and drink tea. "I am at the Ministry of Revenue and have not returned home yet. If I am disrespectful to her, please forgive me."

"My dear husband, you are too polite." Mo Wen said politely, "I witnessed your mansion being slandered by the evil master last night. I couldn't sleep all night. I urged Mo to visit your mansion early this morning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care for her." Liu Qiongzhi sighed, "In this severe situation in my humble mansion, I have made Your Majesty and Your Majesty worried."

"Your Highness is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and loyal to Your Majesty. Your Highness Liu Fu, you are a virtuous ruler and are loved by countless people in Chongzhou. What's wrong with your family? The only thing wrong is that you have fallen for those people with ulterior motives." Just as Mo Wen finished speaking, she heard the laughter of several young women outside.

She stood up and saw Princess Mei, Princess An and Princess Lin walking by chatting and laughing. She looked familiar to them, as if she was...Princess Ning?
How could Princess Ning be so unbalanced?
She handed the whisk to the little eunuch beside her, who came forward and bowed to greet her.

"Eunuch Mo Wen?" Fu Yi didn't expect Mo Wen to appear at this time. She tidied her mind and body, and praised her light gauze shawl. "What instructions do you have for me in the Great Hall?"

Mo Wen withdrew his gaze from Princess Ning's body and expressed his feelings to Fu Yi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Fu Yi bowed towards the direction of the imperial palace, exchanged a few words with Mo Wen, and then took the Mo sisters to her own courtyard.

When she came out of the gate, Mo Wen smiled and said to the little eunuch behind her, "There is no princess in this smart palace."

The young eunuch understood this clearly.

Mo Wen did not explain. After returning to Chenxi Palace, she saw that Fu Yi had not invited Princess Ning to the palace, so she told the emperor about it.

"I think this is what Princess Mei wants." Mo Wen took the initiative to explain to Mei Fu, "She brought Princess Ning to me just to let the prince know that she is on good terms with Princess Ning."

"She will be honest with you, but she will let the princess around her suffer because of some gossip." Sui Tingheng chuckled and said, "I believe her. She must report this to me in the future." Mo Wen hesitated to speak. You don't have much contact with the princess, so how do you know that she will be honest with you?

"The palace is great, and the clothes are great to teach you."

Sui Tingheng looked at the table with her eyes half open, and then raised his hand to brush her coat as she entered the room, "Sir, this must be very polite. Sir, you know this today, why do you want to tell me?"

"The emperor is here." Master Yi said straight to the point, "I am here for the emperor and you."

Sui Tingheng motioned Master Yi to sit down and drink tea and talk slowly, but Master Yi did not drink tea. She was in a bad mood. "Your Highness, although you have entered the court now, you have not yet assisted in the six ministries. I think you should take turns to take charge of the six ministries."

Sui Tingheng said nothing.

"If Your Majesty has no objection, I would like to write a small letter to Your Majesty and ask for your decision." Master Yi almost said it directly, as if he wanted to help Your Majesty fight for the real power in the court.

"Sir, I am still young. Please don't interfere in this urgent matter." Sui Tingheng lowered his eyelids and picked up the teacup from the table.

Knowing that the emperor had already served tea to the guests, Master Yi pretended not to see it and insisted, "Your Highness, this is only for the six ministries to rotate. You and her marriage should also be put on the agenda..."

"Sir." Sui Tingheng put down the teacup, and the cup knocked on the table with a sound. "Everything has been arranged by my father. Sir, the Ministry of Rites is very busy, so I will not need you in the Eastern Palace in the future."
"Mo Wen, show the guest away."

"Youth!" Master Yi's face turned pale. In the past two years, you have never been so polite to me. You are obviously thinking about you, why is you so angry?
How could God allow her to take control of the government?
Thinking that he was kind and gentle to her, but seemed to disgust her, when Master Yi returned to Hengshuo, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. Facing the concerned looks of Hengshuo's wife and children, he dared not say this.

"Father, please have some tea." Yi Yan brought the calming tea to Master Yi and said, "Father, what happened?"

"Let's talk about it. You should worry about her now." Master Yi was in such a state of mind that he didn't care about his little daughter. He didn't have the patience to treat her as usual. "I heard that I met those playboys of Mei Fuyi a few days ago, and they chatted with her?"

Yi Yan lowered her head and said nothing.

"I've told you before, stay away from these idlers and playboys, don't let them affect your reputation." Master Yi was very pleased with this.

"But the princess was still talking about it at the state banquet a few days ago, winning face for our dynasty." Yi Yan mustered up the courage to refute Fu, "Even His Majesty praised her, she is not a playboy."

"How dare you! How dare you talk to your elders?" Master Yi said angrily, "Go back to your room. If you dare to go with a playboy like Fu Yi again, you will be treated badly."

Yi Yan returned to her courtyard in a depressed mood. She looked at the high wall of her courtyard and the hibiscus tree at the corner of the wall. She thought that if Fu Yi was locked in the courtyard, she would be able to climb out along the tree until Ding Rong arrived.

"Clap."
A small stone hit her yard.

She looked so happy that she couldn't help but run to the hibiscus tree and look up at the small wall.

"The wall of your courtyard is really high. I almost climbed over it." Fu Yi's lower body popped out from behind the wall, and she was holding a few bags of snacks in her hands. "I just saw the Taoist temple selling you snacks, so I bought some for you on the way."

Throwing the snacks into Yi Yan's arms, Fu Yi saw that her eyes were red, and asked Fu in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I didn't sleep well last night." Yi Yan didn't lie. Last night, she heard Mei Heng and Liu Heng have a quarrel. She was so worried that she didn't sleep well the whole night.

"Are you worried about me?" Fu Yi climbed over the courtyard wall with a grunt, jumped into the courtyard along the Mo Furong tree, and pulled Mo Yiyan to hide in the corner of the courtyard to comfort her. "Don't worry, Liu Heng didn't tell us anything. Xiaoda even sent a palace to give us a reward this morning."

Yi Yan opened the snack package and found a big bean curd inside. Her eyes lit up with greed and she started to nibble on the bean curd.

Fu Yi touched her heart and head with pity, and the poor child was eating secretly while teasing the wild animal.

After Yi Yan finished eating the snacks, Fu Yi packed up the bones and oil paper bags and prepared to take them out to destroy the "evidence".

"Fu Yi." Yi Yan stopped her and said, "You... said that when the time comes, you must see me."

"Don't worry, I'll bring you some delicious food next time." Fu Yi heard your footsteps outside the yard, climbed up the small hibiscus tree nimbly, and disappeared behind the courtyard wall in the blink of an eye.

Yi Yan wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, stared at the direction where Mo Fuyi was leaving her, and tried not to laugh out loud.

Yi Fudian stood outside the courtyard gate, worried. The child was upset because of her father's scolding. Why did she smile when she saw her courtyard was empty?
Is she having a heart attack because of her father?
The more Yi Fudian thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more dissatisfied she was with Master Yi. She turned back to the main courtyard and smashed Master Yi's book to the ground.

"Husband's Palace..."
"I sent you to catch a stray cat. The cat has stolen all my books."

Mrs. Yi arranged her clothes and turned to leave. She picked up a few of her books and threw them into the lotus pond.

Reading books all day long, filling your brain with pedantic thoughts, what the hell is the point!

"Master, the evidence of Yishen's affair with Li Yan has been hidden in her study. Seeing that she is her teacher, she went to encourage her to seize power from the emperor today. Once her crime is proven, she will be free from this feeling."
"Very good." The man wearing a bamboo hat sitting in the small hall said in a hoarse voice, "The father is killing her, which is the most dangerous thing for the hall."

"So when is the best time to reveal it?"
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. The princess of Yan State is still in the capital. Can you watch this drama with less concern?" The princess sneered and said, "The longer the night, the more dreams there are. Let's arrange for the princess to expose it tonight."

"That's all I believe. Yishen can say that there is no hope for Gui and Liu to congratulate her on her good luck. She was able to escape the disaster."

Even if Mei Fuyi had some good luck and could help Liu Liangheng escape the disaster, Yiheng and Mei Fuyi had no friendship at all. Could she really do harm to the palace?
