"I heard from this palace that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly fainted on the Nine Hidden Platforms and has been picked up in advance?"

In the palace, Empress Zhao stood in front of the window, looking at the slightly desolate courtyard with few flowers and branches, her face was slightly gloomy, and behind her stood the maid Changge who was reporting to her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since that day, when she heard that Concubine Hui had found the stump of the white ripe grass from the mud of the pot of longevity flowers outside the Zhenghe Palace, so that her deeds of framing her own framing were revealed, she ordered someone to send all the potted plants in the courtyard to be removed, so as not to look upset and evoke unpleasant memories.

"Hui Niangniang, it is said that Princess Yan was frightened for a while when she saw Concubine Jing's bloody corpse, so she fainted. ”

"Hmph, isn't she very capable on weekdays? I didn't expect to be frightened by a dead man, and it seems that it is just a useless embroidered pillow. Empress Zhao raised her chin and snorted coldly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "This Jing concubine, when she was alive, was a disaster, and when she died, she deliberately pretended to be a ghost and was scary, but it was a pity that no matter how much she complained in her heart, she couldn't scare the palace after all, and now she is back to the west, which is also a matter of the palace." ”

Empress Zhao said sharply, her eyes turned slightly, and then she frowned two willow eyebrows, and slapped one palm on the window lattice.

"It's just that the palace didn't let you let the snake in? Why didn't you hurt that Cheng Jinzhi in the slightest? How did those people do things, how could they not even solve a stinky girl trapped in prison!"

Changge's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Niangniang is angry, according to the guard who did the work for us, the snake was indeed put in, and those guards who kept vigil also drank the wine mixed with soothing spirits, and did not rush to save people in time, it stands to reason that in the dead of night, Princess Yan should be negligent, but I don't know why......"

She paused here before she cautiously guessed, "Xu is... Xu was because the princess Yan's life was too hard, and she had to retreat even when she saw the snake, or she was simply the reincarnation of the snake spirit, so she was not injured. ”

"I don't know if she is the reincarnation of the snake spirit in this palace, but this girl is indeed very hard-hitting, so she can save the day when she is in danger repeatedly. Empress Zhao's eyes darkened, and she said mockingly, "This Gao Heng is really married to a good princess, and he is a hard-headed lord like himself, and he is not afraid of restraining each other, has the husband and wife become short-lived ghosts?"

Changge listened humbly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, pursed the corners of his lips, and opened his mouth thoughtfully.

"But Niangniang, the slave maid heard that when the guard went to release the snake last night, she once heard Concubine Jing singing, and later, she also heard a very strange flute sound, I don't know, the reason why Princess Yan is safe and sound is related to these reasons?"

"Concubine Jing is singing at this time?" Empress Zhao frowned when she heard this, turned around and said a little nervously, "Do you know that her cell is still far from Cheng Jinzhi's?"

"As far as the slave knows, it seems that there are only a few rooms apart, and they are quite close. ”

"You said it was close. Empress Zhao's eyebrows were grim, "She didn't sing early or late, but she suddenly sang in the middle of the night when the guard went to Cheng Jinzhi Prison to release snakes, is this a coincidence, or is she doing it on purpose?"

Seeing this, Changge hurriedly followed and persuaded: "Niangniang, this Jing Concubine has always been crazy in Jiuyoutai, and on weekdays, she either says crazy words that no one pays attention to, or sings some clichés from her predecessors, this time it must be just a coincidence, now that everyone is dead, Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"I hope so, but this palace still feels that something is wrong. Empress Zhao sighed with concern, "Actually, Concubine Jing is not stupid at all, the reason why she was willing to compromise and sacrifice herself was because the palace used his son as a threat. But even after so many years, she must still hate this palace in her heart, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not secretly plot and want to take revenge. ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, this Jing Concubine is trapped in the Jiuyoutai that no one cares about, in the final analysis, she is a walking corpse waiting for death, even if she has any plans in her heart, how can she have the opportunity to show it? ”

"Originally, the palace was not worried, but there was a Cheng Jinzhi suddenly in this Nine Secluded Terrace, and it was the people that the palace hated the most, King Yan and Concubine Hui. The most important thing is that although she came in, she still had a chance to get out of there....."

Although Changge's words were reasonable, they did not make Empress Zhao feel relieved, but instead made her feel a sense of worry in her heart, and she couldn't help but blame herself for letting down her vigilance and being soft-hearted, which caused today's frightened situation.

"By the way, what is the reason why you mentioned a strange flute sound just now?

"I don't know about this slave. Changge said with a sad face, "The slave maid only heard that the flute sound sounded after hearing Princess Yan call for help, the timbre was very strange, but I don't know who played it, and when the guards arrived later, the snake was no longer there." ”

"It seems that this palace really underestimated this obscure Nine Shadows, but I didn't expect that there were so many talented people hidden. Empress Zhao coldly hooked the corners of her mouth, and her face sank, "If Concubine Jing's singing is just a coincidence, then this flute sound must be more than just a coincidence." This person hiding in the shadows clearly wants to save Cheng Jinzhi. But with the sound of a flute, does it really have the ability to drive away a snake......?

Empress Zhao said with a thoughtful look on her face, and a gloomy mist rolled in her eyes, covering her bright eyes.

"Or is this flute actually from the mouth of that slut Jing Concubine?"

"It's not impossible for the mother to say that. Changge speculated tentatively, "But Concubine Jing has been locked up in Jiuyoutai for so many years, and I have never heard of her carrying any flute, and I have never heard her play." Besides, no matter how she looks at it, she doesn't look like a person with this kind of ability. ”

"Whether it's her or not, you send someone to the palace to take a good look at the Nine Hidden Terrace, if you see anyone with a flute, no matter who it is, you have to keep an eye on the palace. Also, the cell where Concubine Jing lived, you have to have someone search it to see if there is anything left, and if you find it, you must immediately bring it to the palace. ”

Empress Zhao said in a sharp tone, uneasily raised her hand to brush the wrinkles on her sleeves, and suddenly seemed to have some concerns, and said in an accentuated tone to Changge.

"Also, you are not allowed to mention a word to the prince about today's matter, especially about Concubine Jing's slut, if you dare to leak the slightest rumor, be careful of your tongue!"
