CHAPTER XXXVI

This fall is not a self-inflicted fall, especially like Mei Jue from a small female official, whether it is rules or etiquette, it is impossible to find mistakes, how can you fall yourself when you walk. Accidents in the palace can always be mixed with some cats, Emperor Jin Cheng obviously thought of this, this kind of thing intentionally or unintentionally depends on whether he is willing to investigate thoroughly, that is, to measure the status of a concubine in the emperor's heart.

An Zhonghai made a look and asked Fu Chen to follow, as long as the emperor didn't say it explicitly, he couldn't let go of the opportunity to show his face around the emperor, this is also a small skill as a minion, and no amount of money can be spent. Seeing Fu Chen's grateful smile, he followed silently, An Zhonghai was satisfied, everyone likes to bring this kind of apprentice who can understand everything, and it is no wonder that Liu Zong's old man has never seen such a clever person when he is old, but he is in love with such a godson.

When they arrived, including the queen, the imperial concubine and a group of concubines were already waiting in the main hall of Feiyu Pavilion, when they waited until Emperor Jin Cheng, who had not seen it for a long time, the concubines were a little overjoyed, and they were dressed up carefully today!

When Fu Chen entered the door, he glanced at the imperial concubine who was standing there, and the two sides staggered their eyes.

The ins and outs of the matter were also asked, taking advantage of the pleasant autumn days, the queen who had not appeared in the harem for a long time invited the concubines to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, of course, including Mei Wanyi, who was in the limelight, this replacement Qi Guifei also came out of nowhere Wanyi Niangniang was warmly welcomed by the other concubines, and I don't know who accidentally bumped into Rong Zhaoyi in the crowd, Rong Zhaoyi is the biological mother of the six princes, and was mentioned by Fu Chen in Fuxi Palace that she was pregnant, and since then in order to keep the child in the womb, she has lived in a simple place, extremely low-key, except for large-scale celebrations, and does not show the crowd, these months have been in the palace Turmoil, but she narrowly avoided itNo one noticed her strangeness.

Today, the queen held an autumn flower viewing party, and now that she has been three months old, the fetal image is basically stable, and she has not made excuses to excuse herself. But I didn't expect someone to bump into me suddenly, such a collision method will cause an accident even after three months, Rong Zhaoyi almost instinctively protected her stomach.

Just between the lightning and flint, Mei Wanyi suddenly rushed over and used her body as a shield, which saved Rong Zhaoyi's child.

Hearing this, anyone can see how excited the emperor is, his hands are trembling, he can't control the excitement of his body, he is happy and overwhelmed when the queen is pregnant, and the old man is worthy of his excitement in terms of his age and sexual ability.

Then the vicious dog incident made the good child gone, and Emperor Jin Cheng's heart was also dripping blood, but he was the emperor, and all the sadness could only be suppressed in his heart.

Who would have thought that the child he was destined to come back again, but he was almost gone!

How can this not be heartbroken, how can not be disgusted with the culprit!

The Xiang nobles who accidentally bumped into people were given evidence by other concubines who were also "filled with righteous indignation", and knelt down tremblingly to plead guilty, she was the fastest promoted among the show girls in this year, and she was the most favored in the past days of Qi Guifei's limelight, "Your Majesty, the concubine is not intentional, it is a concubine pushed by someone!"

She cried so much that she was raining, but in the eyes of Emperor Jin Cheng, she was extremely tired, "Oh, someone pushed you, who?"

"The concubine didn't know, the concubine didn't see it at the time. She looked around in a panic, and when she saw the queen's faint gaze, her pupils suddenly shrank.

Fu Chen saw this subtle change in expression and lowered his head again.

"And who else will see that?"

The concubines looked at each other, at that time, everyone's attention was on Mei Wanyi, who would pay attention to the Xiang noble, that is, they really saw that this Xiang nobleman was extremely arrogant and complacent when he was favored, and there were many people who offended, who would stand up for her.

After demoting people to the cold palace, the emperor focused on the queen's lax management of the harem, and the queen also admitted the punishment, and took the initiative to ask that the matter be thoroughly investigated, and the culprit must be found to repay the sins suffered by Zhaoyi and Mei Wanyi.

This malicious push seems to have come to an end.

At this time, the emperor suddenly looked back at the person who was still in a coma in the room, and announced that Mei Wanyi had meritorious service in saving people, and her temperament was sensitive, and from now on, she was promoted to Mei Xiurong, replacing the position of the former Lan Concubine Niangniang, that is, she suddenly crossed three levels from the fourth grade to the third grade, and then the concubine was above, and suddenly became the end of the nine concubines at a staggering speed.

But the emperor buckled the big hat to save the emperor's heir, saved the big and the small, and he was injured again, although this reward is a little out of line, but it is also reasonable, who dares to put a beak in this stall, which makes many concubines who are finally looking forward to the emperor almost bite their teeth.

Look, how accurate a woman's intuition is, this Mei Wanyi is more "demonic" than the previous Concubine Li, whether it is her appearance or the emperor's favor or even this upgrade speed, it is weird everywhere, and people can't find anything wrong, this time she just suffered a little injury, in exchange for a lot.

After everyone left, Emperor Jin Cheng walked indoors, the smell of medicine wafted in the air, and the people on the bed had not woken up yet.

He gently held the woman's slender jade hand, and rubbed Mei Jue's cheek with the other hand, depicting her facial features, still trembling.

How can there be a woman like you in this world, and how many of you are there that I haven't seen?

Emperor Jin Cheng has been the crown prince for decades, and naturally knows the intrigue of this harem woman, most of the time he also turns a blind eye, and women compete for favor nothing more than for his favor, which greatly satisfies his male self-esteem, as long as it is not excessive, there will be rewards and punishments, Emperor Jin Cheng has been accustomed to such a woman, and suddenly a woman who would rather hurt herself than keep his child appeared, how could he not be moved, how could he not be moved.

"Silly girl...... You're so stupid. "Cover your face so that you don't let people see your fragility and surging feelings.

"Your Majesty......" Mei Jue opened her eyes weakly, and the sight was the appearance of the emperor busy wiping the corners of his eyes.

was personally helped up by the emperor and leaned on the cushion, Mei Jue's face was white, adding a little weakness, "How is Sister Zhaoyi?"

As soon as people wake up, they don't ask how they are, but they ask others, Emperor Jin Cheng always knows how cold this woman is on the outside and hot on the inside, how pure and strong she is.

"Why don't you care about yourself?" Emperor Jin Cheng sighed, "It's just that I'm a little frightened, and the imperial doctor said that as long as you meditate and cultivate, you can give birth to a healthy Lin'er." ”

Seeing Mei Jue's relieved look, Emperor Jin Cheng was angry and funny, "How did you know that Rong Zhaoyi was pregnant?"

"Your Majesty forgot, the concubine used to be a third-grade aunt, and the food and clothing of pregnant ladies also have to pass through our hands, so naturally they are more observant than others. "It's just that Rong Zhaoyi has been in her palace for three months, and the monthly menstrual affairs to report to the Jingshi room have been deliberately delayed, how could she, a newly promoted Wanyi, notice her among so many concubines.

Hearing that Emperor Jin Cheng hugged her gently, she resisted with her hands, this blue sky and white day, not in accordance with the rules, "The emperor ......"

"Just let me hug and do nothing else. "You stupid girl, how can I not worry about your heart, "Don't be so stupid in the future, how can you stop it yourself?"

"The situation was urgent......

"I can't lose you!"

Mei Jue gave up resistance and formed a weird smile with his back to Emperor Jin Cheng's expression.

Naturally, Fu Chen told him, and this is just the beginning.

……

When the servants sent the concubines away, Fu Chen naturally supported the imperial concubine as a matter of course, this little eunuch is now very recognizable in the palace, and his loyalty to the imperial concubine has also spread, and the love between the master and the servant is talked about.

The two of them are well versed in the way of survival in the harem, so naturally they will not say anything outside, when they walked into the Fuxi Palace, a little eunuch came out, it was Maocai who was already in the fourth grade, a few days ago when Fu Chen was recuperating from his injuries, he was waiting in front of the imperial concubine, and he was stunned when he saw Fu Chen at first glance, and hurriedly lowered his head, "The slave greets the imperial concubine." ”

"Well, I don't need you to serve me today, let's go down. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. "This is the first time, the imperial concubine opened her mouth and didn't want him to serve, which made Maocai, who was used to being treated by the imperial concubine very uncomfortable.

Mao Cai gritted his teeth, he looked better than Fu Chen, and even his every move was not much worse than Fu Chen, why did this person have no place for him as soon as he recovered!

When Fu Chen passed by Mao Cai's side, he didn't even lose a single look, and he didn't seem to see the other party at all.

When the imperial concubine walked away, a faint laughter could be heard.

He seemed to be able to feel the mocking gaze of the Taiping people guarding the door, as if to say, look at how you pretend to be, you are also a fake, not worthy of a finger of the original owner, and it is a joke in vain.

Mao Cai's resentful gaze stared at Fu Chen's back, almost piercing.

Fu Chen and the two entered the room, and Mu Junning asked, "This Mei Wanyi, does it have anything to do with you?"

Mu Junning can be said to be the only person present to observe Fu Chen, plus Rong Zhaoyi's pregnancy was once said by Fu Chen, and Mei Wanyi's rise is also full of weirdness, Mu Junning knows better than anyone that Fu Chen's is not simple, but this is not simple and not so far, and he doesn't really think that Fu Chen did it when he asks this.

"Whatever the mother thinks, she will do. Fu Chen took off the deference in front of the person and said indifferently.

"Do you know what you're doing! Are you just a third-grade eunuch, do you still think that I, as the imperial concubine, will definitely be able to protect you?" Mu Junning took a deep breath before gritting his teeth and said, he didn't know what to do with the person in front of him who didn't eat oil and salt.

Fu Chen poured Mu Junning a cup of osmanthus tea, and raised his calm eyes, "It's time for the queen's position to move." ”

This is just the first step in luring the snake out of the hole.

"San'er's life and death are uncertain now...... Mu Junning is a little fragile at this time, there is no news from her son yet, how can she still think about such a distant thing, how can the position of the queen be so easy to move, that is the foundation of the country, for Fu Chen's crazy behavior, after her initial surprise and disbelief, she actually unconsciously cooperated, the position of the imperial concubine is only one step away from the world of the mother, although this step has stopped here throughout the ages.

And Fu Chen has already achieved it, allowing her to break away from the four concubines and become the only imperial concubine.

Fu Chen stood up and pulled the woman's head around his waist, "Maybe you don't know your son well enough, he's not that fragile." ”

Fu Chen thought of seeing the matter of Qi Guifei and the second prince in the bamboo forest, the calm between the person's eyebrows and the ease of dealing with it afterwards, although there was only one side, he didn't think that the third prince was really destroyed by pirates.

"Look at this. Fu Chen took out a note from his sleeve, which he asked Shuyu to investigate, and he had just gotten it.

"Divine Spring. Those were two words on a note.

"The last place where the Three Princes appeared. ”

Mu Junning suddenly stood up, "Fu Chen." ”

"Huh?"

"Help me find San'er, only if you look for it, I can rest assured!" There are strange things in the palace, since the second prince was grounded, the competition between the crown princes has become increasingly fierce, and at this time, any judgment may be fatal. She didn't want to get her son's body, and she didn't want her son's whereabouts to be known by other factions, including the emperor who had been hiding from her, and only Fu Chen, who was willing to tell her, was safest.

Fu Chen was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay." ”

Mu Junning didn't know why Fu Chen, a little eunuch from Sanpin, could find out about things outside the palace, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that Fu Chen had his own power.

It's a favor she owes him.

"Leave everyone, I want to see you dance for me. ”

"You!?" was obviously talking about business just now, but this person was suddenly so indecent.

"Since you've even made your clothes, wouldn't it be a pity not to jump to show me?" Or are you going to sue me, are you going to jump to show the emperor?" Fu Chen smiled a little wickedly.

This was their agreement at the state banquet, Mu Junning did it, but never mentioned it in front of Fu Chen, but Fu Chen already knew it.

β€”β€”Jin Jiang Du Familyβ€”β€”

Princess Yongle is much thinner than before, even if she uses heavy makeup, she can't hide her haggardness, although Emperor Jin Cheng's reward has won a lot of envious eyes, as if she is more favored after leaving, then this harmony is not a loss, only she knows that her heart is not peaceful.

In order to appease the princess, Emperor Jin Cheng even allowed her to return to the palace to visit her mother often, which was also a special exception.

When she arrived, she saw a person stopping outside the Fuxi Palace.

The man looked at Fuxi Palace, but he didn't go in, she naturally knew that this person was Xin Yi, the uncrowned king of Zhenguo. After the state banquet, Xin Yi didn't know why he stayed in the capital, as if he was against him, he didn't go back to the envoys of the Jisang Kingdom on the side, and he didn't know where the rumors came from, or he himself spread it, he had asked the emperor for a little eunuch, this eunuch was called Fu Chen, but was rejected by Emperor Jin Cheng, and he also rewarded more than a dozen beautiful eunuchs and palace maids, about the more unattainable, the more precious. Since Xin Yi became the uncrowned king of Zhenguo, there is no one who can't get it, especially when he saw the imperial concubine and the little eunuch walking together just now, he was even more itchy.

It is this kind of eunuch who is the most important eunuch around a high-ranking and powerful person, and he has a taste when he plays.

Of course, ordinary people can't understand this kind of mentality, Xin Yi must also leave when it's time, and the others only see it as a joke, when he sees Princess Yongle, he pretends to be passing by and makes a joke and leaves slowly, this style is too high-looking.

Princess Yongle retracted her gaze, and after entering the Fuxi Palace, she found that the subordinates serving in the palace were all assigned to work, and the few who stayed in the palace were few who asked the palace maid to find out that it was the queen mother who retreated left and right, and wanted to be alone with a clear heart.

"The slave and maid will go and tell the mother. ”

"No need, I'll go see my mother myself. ”

When Princess Yongle came to the atrium, she heard melodious music coming from inside, and the mother rarely played music anymore, and only when she was happy, she would do so, and she had not seen the queen mother take out her instrument all these years.

just stepped in happily, but suddenly retracted his steps, and he was already aware of it, but it didn't mean that he was not shaken when he really saw the two getting along.

She was still drawn to the picture inside, almost instinctively hiding her figure.

The young man's skeletal hands plucked on the strings of the guqin, and the music came from under him, and in the midst of the flowers, a woman was dancing, it was the neon dance at the state banquet that day, the woman danced with flowing clothes, and her eyes formed an eternal picture in the young man's gaze.

The picture was so beautiful that Princess Yongle couldn't help but be stunned, she never knew her mother could dance.

She is everyone's lady, she is the imperial concubine born in the Mu family, and she is a model of generosity and grace in the harem.

She never relied on her talent to win attention in front of the emperor, so everyone ignored what a talented woman she was.

"Ahh

Princess Yongle came back from her thoughts, and what she saw was the figure of the mother who almost fell and the picture of the young man hurrying over to hug her.

Mu Junning was a little embarrassed, "I'm old, and I'm a little rusty if I haven't danced for too long." ”

"No, it's beautiful, you're still like a twenty-eight woman. ”

"What about the beauty of the plum?"

Mei Jue?

Fu Chen smiled, this dance came from his hand, in his opinion, each has its own beauty, Mei Jue is beautiful in Allure, and Mu Jun is beautiful in agility.

Just about to reply, he found the strange ripples in Mu Junning's eyes, and with a sigh, Fu Chen's smile disappeared, and he gently let go of her, "Jun Ning, what is going on between you and me, you know better than anyone else." ”

This degree, Mu Junning grasped it very well at the beginning.

Fu Chen naturally knew that the more this woman cared about him, the more beneficial it would be to him, but he was not so despicable as to take advantage of the woman's feelings, he hoped that she would always be sober.

"Why don't I ask you who dances beautifully, but it will provoke you to be inexplicable. Mu Junning was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Quickly take the qin back, I still have to go to Rong Zhaoyi's palace to visit." ”

Rong Zhaoyi and Mu Junning have a very good relationship in private, but they are not familiar with each other, and now Rong Zhaoyi almost had a miscarriage, and it is reasonable to visit as the imperial concubine.

"Okay, remember to change your clothes. "It's not appropriate to wear such a flowing dress.

"I don't need you to remind you!" Mu Junning replied.

Mu Jun stared at Fu Chen's back as he left, his eyes gradually became blank, as if he was a little lost in his soul.

Princess Yongle's heart ached, she couldn't go on like this...... The concubine's meeting is over...

When she was about to leave the palace, she met Xin Yi after the audience.

Yongle grabbed the corner of his clothes, loosened it, and clenched it again, as if he had made up his mind, "Messenger Xin, please stay." ”

β€”β€”Jin Jiang.Exclusive,The only genuine versionβ€”β€”

As night fell, the prison yard was as lively as ever.

Ye Xin's small courtyard is quite quiet, which is still thanks to the many people he knew before, so that he can have such a place to recuperate after escaping death, especially when he learns that Li Xiangying has been executed and his body has been thrown into a mass grave, of course, people who are in a good mood are much more relaxed, and their injuries heal faster.

Now that the autumn is crisp, and the wound has passed the most difficult summer, it has scabbed, but it is really itchy, he can't help but turn over, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he found that there are still people in this room, and exclaimed: "Scared!"

I don't know how this man walks, why he doesn't make a sound.

When he found out that it was Fu Chen, he patted his chest, "When did you come, can't you make a sound?" Do you know that I am timid!"

Fu Chen was able to make arrangements in advance in the recommendation room to obtain the box of A Furong in the fire, and thanks to Ye Xin's help, the two could be regarded as a temporary united front, but Li Xiangying's death also made this short-lived alliance return to its original state again.

"I can't bear to disturb you when I see you sleeping soundly. Fu Chen didn't seem to see him frightened, so he took a chair and sat down, "Are you interested in changing places?"

"What do you mean?"

"I remember you said you were very envious of Xin Yi. ”

"So, don't sell it, just say it. ”

"What if I said I had a chance to make you back up, like assisting a new emperor. Ye Xin's interpersonal skills are very strong, and it can be seen from Fu Chen's several cooperation with him that although such a person is definitely not a good person, he can only be said to be a real villain, but it would be a pity if he died like this. And he has a handle in the hands of Li Xiangying in the Jin State, in fact, it is not a big deal, that is, Shao Huayang and Qi Guifei back then, he helped to do the aftermath work, if this matter is known by Emperor Jin Cheng, Ye Xin can be on the head of the project, this matter was instructed by Li Xiangying, at that time, I wanted Ye Xin to be his scapegoat, although it has passed, but if Li Xiangying's other subordinates are stabbed to Emperor Jin Cheng, his Ye Xin's life is not guaranteed.

The condition proposed by Fu Chen is undoubtedly a relief for him.

Fu Chen went out of the prison barn and went to the Internal Affairs Office to pay errands, and then met Princess Yongle.

Entrusted by the princess, she wanted to go out of the palace to Zuixianlou to buy some extra food for their mother and daughter's two dinners, and it was a little inappropriate to go out to buy food so late.

But thinking of the matter between the princess and Shen Xiao, and looking at her haggard appearance, Fu Chen naturally didn't say anything, and walked out of the palace gate.

And then ......

……

A blow to the back of the head, and behind him, a guard sent by the princess to protect him?

It's dark.

……

Fu Chen woke up in a cramped and dark space, his fingers were missing, and his whole person was curled up.

This is!?

A coffin?
