By the time they returned to the palace, it was already dark.

All afternoon Xiao Xixi was rushing back and forth, running around.

She was tired and hungry and just wanted to eat a big meal and then sleep peacefully.

However, as soon as she returned to Qingge Hall, she found that there were many more guards in Qingge Hall, and the leader was Gan Fu.

When you look at this posture, you know that the visitor is not good.

Gan Fu bowed to her: "The slaves pay tribute to the side concubine."

Xiao Xixi had to cheer up and deal with it.

"Why is Eunuch Gan here?"

Gan Fu said with a smile: "When the Imperial Guards were searching the East Palace this morning, they unexpectedly found that you have grown a lot of vegetables and raised a lot of poultry. After the emperor learned about this, he was displeased and felt that the empress's actions would destroy it. The image of the East Palace."

Xiao Xixi: "I've had people clean up those vegetables and poultry."

Gan Fu: "Well, the servant went to the backyard to see it just now, and it's really cleaned up. Knowing the mistakes can make a big difference. It's a good thing that the empress can repent in time, but the emperor still needs you to explain it, so I asked the empress to follow me. Let the slave go."

Baoqin looked at Concubine Xiao with extremely worried eyes, for fear that Concubine Xiao would suffer this trip.

Xiao Xixi is not very afraid.

She just felt hungry.

"Eunuch Gan, can you wait for a while? I just came back from outside, and my clothes are stained with dust. This is really indecent. I want to change into clean clothes."

Gan Fu is not good at pushing people too hard, and is gentle and authentic.

"Please do it yourself, just move quickly, don't make the emperor wait too long."

Xiao Xixi and Baoqin went to the bedroom.

Baoqin closed the door and asked eagerly, "Niangniang, the emperor specially called you over, shouldn't he be punishing you?"

Xiao Xixi opened the box by the bedside, and there were many cakes in it.

She picked up a piece of peach cake and said while eating: "It's okay, the emperor should not do anything to me, at most just beat me."

Baoqin couldn't help persuading when she saw her gobbling up.

"Eat slowly and be careful not to choke."

Baoqin poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Xiao Xixi drank the tea and continued to stuff it into her mouth.

The emperor definitely didn't provide food, she had to eat more now to avoid starvation.

She ate most of the box of pastries.

Baoqin took out a plain dress, put it on for Xiao Xixi, and painted her face with makeup.

Gan Fu's urging sound came from outside the door.

"Niang Niang, haven't you packed up yet? It's already very late, we can't delay any longer."

Xiao Xixi: "Okay, okay!"

She stood up, patted off the pastry crumbs on her dress, then took the handkerchief from Baoqin and wiped her hands.

Baoqin squatted down and helped her tidy up the skirt.

Xiao Xixi opened the closet and took out the small bag of blue background flowers.

She took a medicine bottle out of it.

Open the bottle and pour out a milky white pill.

She stuffed the pills into the sachet she carried with her.

After doing this, Xiao Xixi just opened the door and walked out slowly.

She said something to Gan Fu who was waiting under the steps.

"Let's go."

The group walked out of Qingge Hall.

Xiao Xixi sat in the sedan chair, and Baoqin walked beside him.

Gan Fu walked in front, surrounded by a dozen or so guards.

They left the East Palace and went straight to the Weiyang Palace.

At this time it was completely dark.

The palace lanterns were lit, and they radiated warm light in the vast night, like scattered stars.

Xiao Xixi squeezed the sachet lightly, looking forward without focus, not knowing what she was thinking.

When the sedan car stopped, Gan Fu's voice sounded again.

"Miss, it's here."

Xiao Xixi took Baoqin's hand and slowly stepped off the sedan chair.

Looking up, I saw the majestic Weiyang Palace in front of me.

This is the largest palace in the entire palace. It represents supreme power and is a holy place that countless people yearn for.

But at this time, in Xiao Xixi's eyes, it was more like a beast with a big mouth.

It seems that it can devour people at any time.

Autumn nights are a little cold.

Baoqin shook off the cloak and put it on Xiao Xixi.

Gan Fu led the way with a lantern, Xiao Xixi and Baoqin followed.

After walking two steps, Gan Fu stopped again and turned back to remind.

"The emperor only said that he wanted to see Concubine Xiao, and hoped Miss Baoqin would stay."

Baoqin had to stop and watch Concubine Xiao gradually go away, her slender figure was completely engulfed by Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is very quiet.

Occasionally, palace maids and eunuchs passed by, and their footsteps were so light that they could hardly hear a sound.

When they saw Concubine Xiao, they were only slightly blessed and did not make a sound.

This is Xiao Xixi's first visit to Weiyang Palace.

She felt that this place was very similar to the Jiaofang Palace, with a biting coldness.

Like a coffin, it is easy to suffocate after staying for a long time.

Gan Fu gently knocked on the door of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is here."

After a while, the door was opened, and a palace maid blessed Concubine Xiao.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Xiao Xixi walked into the bedroom and saw the emperor leaning on the soft couch.

The emperor had his hair loose, most of his hair was already white, his expression was haggard, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his face was pale.

He looked older than the last time we met.

Xiao Xixi knelt down: "My concubine should not raise chickens and grow vegetables in the palace. It is the concubine that ruined the image of the East Palace, and the concubine is willing to be punished."

The emperor said hoarsely: "It's true that you did something wrong. How can you be so reckless in the imperial palace?"

"My concubine has already cleaned up all the vegetable gardens and poultry, and I promise not to do it again in the future."

Emperor: "For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will give you a lighter punishment this time."

He coughed twice again before continuing.

"In the past two years, the great prosperous dynasty has been chaotic.

First, Qin Zhong and Xiling Palace rebelled, and then King You came to raise troops in Xiling County, and Liao also intervened.

Countless people unfortunately lost their lives.

Since you have the spare time to raise chickens and grow vegetables in the palace, why don't you help copy the Buddhist scriptures.

You copy it eight hundred times first.

After copying, I will have someone send the copied Buddhist scriptures to Shengguang Temple.

Burn the innocent people who died in vain to save their souls. "

When Xiao Xixi heard that she was going to copy Buddhist scriptures, her scalp felt numb.

Copywriting is so tiring!

She doesn't want to copy books!

But she has no qualifications to refuse, so she can only bite the bullet and answer.

"The concubine obeys."

The emperor asked someone to bring a set of "Ksitigarbha Sutra".

"You just copy it in Weiyang Palace. When you finish copying, when will you be able to leave."

After saying this, he closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Gan Fu said: "Your Majesty is tired, please come with the servant."

Xiao Xixi walked out of the bedroom holding the heavy Buddhist book.

Gan Fu led her into a guest room.

Xiao Xixi put down the Buddhist scriptures, rubbed her arms, and asked, "Where's Baoqin?"

Gan Fu: "Niangniang, don't worry, the servant will send Miss Baoqin back to Qingge Hall."
