Chapter 357: The Past (16)
"The concubine begs the emperor!
A woman in plain clothes with loose hair knelt in the doorway.
Around her stood a group of palace people with their heads bowed.
No one dared to speak, and no one dared to go up and speak to her.
It was raining heavily, and the woman was drenched in the rain, not planning to get up at all.
Her jet-black hair was drenched in the rain, sticking to her face, neck, and back.
She whimpered and kept repeating the same phrase.
It looks very pitiful.
"Father-in-law..... Do you want to go in and pass it on?"
A little eunuch who had just arrived couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his head and asked Grandpa Zhang carefully.
"What's the difference between the miscellaneous family going in and passing it on. She still can't see it. ”
Father-in-law Zhang looked at the upright woman kneeling in the rain and shook his head gently.
"To be honest, even if she kneels all night, she won't see her..... Your Majesty, it's really ruthless, it's really ruthless........."
"Then, don't you really go in and pass it on? in case you get weird in the future.......
Although the little eunuch has just arrived, he is very transparent about these.
"The prime minister has not been in for a long time, I guess he is still talking about something, and it is not good for me to go in now, so let's go in later. This face, the miscellaneous family is also sold, and no one will find fault in the future, and the old man of the queen will owe me a favor........."
Compared with the little eunuch, Grandpa Zhang's small abacus is even better.
He has been in the palace for so many years, and he has not been in vain.
Of course, it will not be a coincidence to be a celebrity by the emperor's side.
Everything depends on his brain and his ability to look at the eyes.
"Yes! or is my father-in-law ....... awesome."
The sound of the heavy rain diluted the conversation between the two and quickly faded away........
"Your Majesty...... Queen Mother...... She knelt in the doorway......."
Gonggong Zhang looked at Cheng Guang cautiously.
Cheng Guangzheng was intently reviewing the new excerpts.
On one side sat the prime minister, who had just come over.
Cheng Guang ignored Zhang's words at all.
He ignored it, and Grandpa Zhang was even more out of options. He looked at the prime minister as if he was pleading, but the prime minister just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"How's the war going at the border?"
"Everything has a general, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it at all. ”
"Well, with him, I will naturally be relieved........"
"Your Majesty....... Queen........"
"What's she singing again?"
Cheng Guang put down the pen in his hand heavily, his face full of displeasure.
Father-in-law Zhang naturally knew that Cheng Guang was not in a good mood now.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him.
"The Queen's Mother....... Empress....... The mother said that she wanted to forgive her sins........"
"Forgiveness?"
Cheng Guang turned his head and looked at Grandpa Zhang who was kneeling on the ground.
"Forgive what sins?"
"......... the incident with Liu Meiren last time"
"She caused Liu Meiren's miscarriage, and she is still not happy if I let her stay in the cold palace for a few days?
"Yes......."
"Tell her, either go back to the cold palace honestly, or I'll give her three white silk. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty ........."
Father-in-law Zhang's face was already dripping with fine and dense sweat.
He's scared, too.
Although this result was expected, he still felt full of pressure when he knelt there.
Today's Cheng Guang is really a bit angry.
"Also," Cheng Guang seemed to think of something, and shouted to Gonggong Zhang, who was just about to go out, "Take back the edict that was established back then." ”
"This ...... Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"
"What I do, do I have to get the consent of your father-in-law Zhang now?"
"Minions don't dare! Minions don't dare!"
"Get out. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Grandpa Zhang almost crawled out of the door.
The prime minister put down the glass in his hand and finally spoke.
"The emperor let Concubine Zhen out of the palace this time, is it also for the sake of that child?"
"If the queen is in one day, I will not be at ease for one day. There is no guarantee that she will harm Concubine Zhen and have a miscarriage. If she thinks about breaking the jar and falls, then I will regret it at that time. ”
"That's what you're thinking about....... The minister was still very worried before, if you did this, would there be rumors in the court........."
"I have never said anything about Concubine Zhen's departure from the palace anywhere else, who knows. ”
"Yes. ”
"By the way, after being in the country for so long, have you ever taken a fancy to any prince?"
Cheng Guang suddenly raised his head and looked at the prime minister.
"It's ....... The minister has only been teaching for a short time, and he hasn't been able to see much, but when it comes to the attitude of learning, the six princes are not bad........"
The prime minister looked at Cheng Guang with a sincere look.
"Hmm. Then I know. ”
"Mother, please go back. ”
"Your Majesty, what did the Emperor say!"
The woman kneeling in the rain jerked her head up. His eyes were full of pleading.
"Mother, please go back. ”
Father-in-law Zhang held an umbrella and didn't dare to look at the woman's eyes.
He ...... What did he say......."
"Mother, don't ask........"
"Tell me, father-in-law, I can stand it. ”
The woman's plain clothes have long been soaked, lining the woman's already thin body even thinner.
For the first time, Grandpa Zhang had a sense of sympathy for this woman.
"Your Majesty..... The emperor said..... It's good for you to go back, not to go back..... I'll send you three white silk........ And also.... Niangniang, please send back the edict after the seal of that year........"
"Boom ......."
A thunderclap rang out.
Lightning flashed the woman's face.
It's a miserable white.
Her eyes widened, and her body slid down involuntarily.
She just knelt on the cold, wet ground.
The thunder grew louder and louder, and lightning slashed down one after another.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, let's go back, don't be here........"
The queen's personal female officer knelt on the side, shaking desperately like a woman who had lost consciousness.
Her face was covered with water marks, and she couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.
"Pear blossom...... I..... Let's go......."
The queen struggled to hold on to the ground and slowly climbed up.
The female official known as Pear Blossom hurriedly supported her, "Niangniang, the phoenix body is important.........
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you..... Today, it's all thanks to you..... I'll trouble you to pass on a word for me later........"
............
"Your Majesty, the mother is gone. ”
When Gonggong Zhang entered, the prime minister had already left.
Only Cheng Guang was there alone holding a brush in a daze.
"Gone?"
He came back to his senses and put the brush down in his hand.
"Yes, it's gone. ”
"Did you tell her about the edict?"
"I told my mother. ”
"She agreed?"
The mother agreed. ”
Cheng Guang was stunned, obviously not expecting the queen to agree so readily.
"No, say anything?"
"Mother, I said. ”
"What did you say?"
"She said that in the future, she and the emperor will break off their righteousness, and they will never see each other again........"
It turned out that she really figured it out.
Cheng Guang propped up the table with both hands, trembling a little.
I thought I would be happy.
I thought that this would be liberating.
However, he was not as happy as he imagined........
"Death and life will never see each other again? Edict, go get it tomorrow. ”
"Yes. ”
"It's been a little cold lately, so let the palace people send her something for the winter......."
"Yes. ”
"Tell the palace people that if you dare to do anything to her, I will never spare her. ”
"Yes. ”
"Oh, there's more. Don't return the flowing cloud dress that the Queen Mother rewarded her back then. Let her keep. ”
"Yes. ”
"Grandpa Zhang. ”
"Yes. ”
"Tell her. I will remember her. ”
"Good ........."
