The night was quiet, and the second-shift drum had already been beaten outside.
Rong Zheng was lying on her back, and through the pale yellow light from a candlestick that had not been blown out outside, she could clearly see the small engraved copper ball hanging on the top of the tent, with a long red tassel underneath.
This is a fragrant ball containing benzoin which induces sleep.
Rong Zheng's tone was calm, and she spoke to Mu Xuan: "When I was twelve years old, I once had a terrible nightmare, in which I dreamed that I would die after living for more than thirty years.
When she died, she was divorced by her husband's family and died of illness on the way to Beijing.
In the end, she didn't even see her children. " Mu Xuan said hurriedly: "It's just a dream I had a long time ago.
What are you worried about?"
"If that were the case, I wouldn't worry about it, but that dream was so real.
The things I had lived in for more than ten years in the dream seemed to have really happened before my eyes.
It's funny to say that I actually went to seek confirmation afterward.
The content of the dream.
Guess what?”
When Mu Xuan heard this, she became interested and asked: "Does what happened in the dream coincide with reality one by one?"
Seeing that Mu Xuan was not frightened by what she said, Rong Zheng became more confident.
She wanted to tell him the foreseeable disaster.
"I slowly verified what was about to happen around me, and found that it was really like a dream.
At that time, I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that I had really died once and returned to the age of twelve.
I'm afraid no one will believe me if I tell you this this year.
I have kept this matter in my heart all these years and have not dared to tell anyone.
I have changed my temper and lived a low-key life. " All Rongzheng wanted to say to him were these seemingly weird words.
She must have something more important that she didn't say.
When Mu Xuan thought of the way Rongzheng looked at him in the car, he understood everything.
"Does that mean you can predict everyone's ending?"
Rongzheng shook his head and said: "In the dream, I only lived to be thirty years old.
So all I know is what happened before I died."
Mu Xuan thought for a while and asked: "In your dream, how did I end up?"
The memories of her previous life came back like a tide.
She was silent for a moment before she said: "We had no interaction in the dream.
You didn't know me at all, and I had only heard of your name.
In fact, I I only met you once.
At that time, it was said that you had escaped into Buddhism and was walking behind Master Yuankong.
I looked up at you with a solemn look on your face.
Calm.”
Rongzheng said that he had escaped into Buddhism, and Mu Xuan would not be surprised at all.
If these things hadn't happened one after another here, he thought he would have escaped into Buddhism.
"What about my sister?"
Princess Rongzheng of Duanhui County felt a slight pain in her heart before she said slowly: "Princess Princess has been unhappy since her return.
I don't know what kind of illness she got.
She left before she was thirty.
And you are in the county.
Only after the Lord left did he choose to become a monk.”
Mu Xuan was stunned.
My sister's poor health is partly due to her mood.
If he really gets to that point, he will no longer have the slightest concern about the world of mortals, and there will no longer be the slightest attachment to him.
It was extremely quiet in the tent.

Rongzheng turned her head and saw Mu Xuan staring blankly at the ceiling, so she took the initiative to get closer.
She comforted her softly: "Too many changes have taken place in this life, and you are married.
The princess is comforted in her heart.
No matter how well we hire a doctor to nurse her back to health, and talk to her more to relieve her boredom, it should be okay."
Mu Xuan suddenly said: "It is my relationship that drags her down."
Seeing that Mu Xuan believed what he said, Rong Zheng added, "Don't worry, the tragedy of the previous life will definitely not be repeated this time."
Mu Xuan heard Rong Zheng say that it was a bit weird to attribute these things to the previous life.
He remembered what Rong Zheng had said to him in the afternoon, and quickly asked: "You asked me in the car if I really planned to follow the prince.
If anything important would happen in the future?"
Rongzheng thought that Mu Xuan really believed her, so she told him everything she knew.
"In my previous life, I was too far away from the court.
I only came to the capital once before my death.
I never entered the palace.
But I still know a little bit about some very important things.
In the seventeenth year of Kaibao's reign, the prince suddenly fell ill and died.
East Palace.
The emperor was very heartbroken, and the next year he appointed the emperor's grandson as the emperor's grandson.
However, the emperor's grandson died in the 20th year of Kaibao.
The emperor learned from the pain.
In April of the 24th year of Kaibao, the emperor came to Bintian.
Later, King Wu ascended the throne according to the imperial edict, and the new emperor wanted to rectify the officialdom after he came to power.
For this reason, his father-in-law also suffered.
Implicated.
Later, the rectification was expanded, and all the close officials of the former prince were picked out and liquidated one by one for various reasons.
Later, my father was put under surveillance and it was said that it was a capital crime.
If he is not over fifteen, he will be spared from death and sentenced to exile.
That’s all I know.”
Mu Xuan listened quietly, extremely horrified.
If those words from Rong Zheng's mouth were listened to, he would probably be punished by death.
Mu Xuan was confused as to whether this would really happen.
Not to mention anything else, the prince was in the prime of life and had just turned thirty-two.
He was in the prime of life, so he would suddenly become seriously ill.
These things Rong Zheng said will happen in a few years.
There is no way to verify it now.
If it is just a nightmare of Rong Zheng, then don't take it too seriously.
He thought about it and asked, "Is there anything big happening right now?"
"at the moment" Mu Xuan nodded.
Rongzheng knew that in order to make Mu Xuan believe what he said, he had to provide evidence.
The experiences of the previous life slowly emerged, but the two of them didn't have much interaction in the previous life, and her circle was so small.
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't have any clue.
Later, Rongzheng remembered something, gently shook Mu Xuan's arm and said, "I remembered that in the first month of the fourteenth year of Kaibao's reign, my eldest uncle was promoted to a third-rank official position.
There was a banquet at home, and originally it was not I sent a message to Bianliang, but my family was busy and I didn’t even come to Beijing to express my congratulations.”
"When was the transfer order issued?"
Rong Zheng shook his head in confusion and said, "I can't remember the specific time, but it seems that I was promoted to Minister of Taipusi."
Mu Xuan thought that if he had asked for help, he would have known.

"What else do you remember besides this big thing?"
Rong Zheng thought carefully: "In February of the fourteenth year, my family received a letter from my uncle.
The letter said that the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday was on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
The emperor gave Jingyi's emblem again.
At the same time, he also conferred a number of palace concubines. , and my eldest sister is also a talented person who just joined here.”
The Queen Mother's birthday was on the ninth day of the first lunar month, so it was not surprising for Rong Zheng to know, but the fact that she was given the title and status could be verified.
Mu Xuan was always dubious about Rong Zheng's words, but in order to comfort Rong Zheng, he still said to her gently: "According to what you said, there are still three or four years before the incident happens.
So there is no need to worry so early.
Don't think too much.
Let's take a step.
Let’s take a closer look.
Besides, I’m not yet considered a close minister of the prince.”
Rongzheng thought, wouldn't it be possible for a close minister to meet alone for nearly two hours?
The sudden death of the previous prince from a sudden illness may be the turning point of things, and it will still be a few years.
Maybe she and Mu Xuan can figure out all the causes.
"Well, I know you will protect me no matter what.
I'm worried about you."
"Don't be afraid.
You just need to take good care of our little family and help me take care of the property in our name.
It will really be no longer possible at that time.
Just find a safe way out.
After all, I am also a clan member, As long as he doesn't commit a heinous crime, he won't fall to that level.
As for King Wu, I will meet him when I have time."
Speaking of King Wu, Rong Zheng could not help but be a little afraid of this person.
After revealing all the things that had been buried in his heart for many years, Rongzheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
She slept extremely soundly that night.
I woke up radiant the next day.
Full of energy.
Even Zi Su, who was waiting on her, said, "Grandma looks so good today.
I don't even need to put on much makeup."
Rong Zheng looked at the woman with picturesque features in the mirror and smiled: "I have never been so happy."
Rongzheng is in a good mood.
Naturally, he was also willing to spend time letting the maid dress up.
She wore a Japanese bun and a red coral hairpin given to her by her grandmother.
And wore a big red palace flower.
She changed into a lilac-colored double-breasted brocade coat, a lake-green cotton skirt, and a silver squirrel and colorful tapestry crane cloak.
It's neat and tidy, which makes people's eyes bright.
She went to the princess's side in a happy mood.
The princess's cough has not healed yet, and the prince's concubine and Brother Ren are standing by Cheng Huan.
The princess raised her head and saw Rong Zheng coming, she frowned slightly, quickly looked away, and lowered her head to tease her granddaughter in her arms.
Rong Zheng stepped forward and saluted.
The princess remained silent.
Rong Zheng and the Crown Princess met each other again, and the Crown Princess warmly said to Rong Zheng, "I guess my elder brother took you to the palace yesterday afternoon.
I heard that I didn't come back until after the watch."
"Yeah, I came back a little late."

"You might as well go to the palace first to get familiar with it.
We will enter the palace for the dinner party tomorrow night.
Just follow me then, don't panic."
Faced with the Crown Princess's kindness, Rong Zheng accepted it all.
In addition to congratulations, another very important thing in coming to Beijing this time is the Queen Mother's 60th birthday.
The birthday gift for the Queen Mother was decided two months ago.
Before Rong Zheng arrived, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing choosing a day to invite those close to Beijing and China.
Rongzheng sat down.
The princess obviously didn't want Rongzheng to participate in the discussion of these household matters, so she didn't speak for a long time.
Until the grandma in charge came in with a greeting card.
The princess took it and looked at it, and said happily: "It's a post from Princess Yong'an, who has sent us a New Year's gift.
She was also talking about choosing a time to visit her.
Her gift came to her door first."
Immediately, four women came in carrying two loads of things, all covered with yellow silk.
The princess became interested and stepped forward to take off the silk and take a look.
They are nothing more than some gold, silver and jade articles, among which there is a very precious Hetian jade Ruyi.
The other is a famous snack in Beijing.
All packed in good boxes.
The princess held Brother Ren, and Brother Ren looked here and touched there.
The princess was not annoyed at all.
The Crown Princess is used to seeing these things and doesn't find them novel at all.
On the contrary, Rong Zheng secretly admired the princess's generosity.
"It seems that we should give the princess a return gift according to this."
After a while, Mu Jing came and said after entering the door: "Mother and concubine, my father asked me to ask you something."
The princess glanced at Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng knew in her heart that the mother-in-law didn't like her presence, so she got up very wisely and said, "The princess didn't give any other instructions to my daughter-in-law, so she went down first."
The princess nodded silently.
Rong Zheng bowed slightly to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess before turning around and leaving.
Mu Jing watched Rong Zheng's graceful figure gradually disappearing, silently stunned.
"My son, what do you want to tell me?"
The princess's words suddenly sounded above Mu Jing's head.
Mu Jing finally came back to her senses and replied carefully.
Rongzheng returned to the courtyard where she lived.
She looked for Qiu Ci and asked, "Isn't the uncle at home?"
Qiu Ci said: "The uncle went out just after Chen time."
Rong Zheng asked again: "Did he say where he was going?"
Qiu Ci shook his head blankly, thinking that his master was unwilling to tell others about his whereabouts.
Mu Xuan didn't come back until after afternoon.
Seeing the heavy look on his face, Rong Zheng wondered what had happened.
He stepped forward to greet him and asked with concern: "Where are you going?
Why haven't I seen you for a long time?"
Mu Xuan quickly changed her clothes and put on a homely jacket.
She drank two sips of hot tea and warmed up a little before she could talk to Rong Zheng: "Guess who I met today?"
Rong Zheng was confused at first, and then suddenly asked: "Didn't you meet King Wu?"
Mu Xuan smiled and said, "As smart as you."

Rongzheng was horrified and said: "Why did you go to see him?"
"I didn't take the initiative to meet him.
I happened to meet him in Chengqian Palace.
It was inevitable that we wouldn't chat for a while.
He didn't recognize me at first.
Later, he was recommended by the prince."
Rong Zheng felt more and more strange, which meant that at this time, the King of Wu and the Prince were still very close.
"Why, don't you believe what I said?"
Rong Zheng shook his head and said, "No.
I just feel weird."
Mu Xuan followed his intention and said: "Then do you think that the King of Wu and the Crown Prince are very close, and it is not like they will deal with the Crown Prince's close associates later?"
Rong Zheng nodded silently.
Mu Xuan said: "It looks like that on the surface, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Now that we know each other, I'm afraid we won't have to interact with each other in the future.
Don't worry."
Rongzheng thought to herself, after Mu Xuan knew that everything she said was true, would he abandon the prince and defect to the king of Wu, or would he not be close to either of them, and would not offend her, and there was no way to ask.
"By the way, there is a palace banquet tomorrow night, so you should make preparations as soon as possible."
Rong Zheng nodded and said: "Well, the concubine has already told me before.
When will she enter the palace?"
Mu Xuan said: "I heard that we have to leave at the end of the day."
Rong Zheng didn't know what the palace banquet was like and couldn't imagine it.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's loving face that resembled her grandmother's appeared in her mind
