Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

In the spring, a few continuous rains made people moldy, and finally this morning the sky was clear, and the queen and Mrs. Jin, who had entered the palace again, walked around in the palace garden, basking in the sun.

As soon as he left Kunning Palace, he saw the prince walking on his short legs, holding on to the door and trying to cross the high threshold. Xu was still a little cold because the weather was still a little cold, and he was wrapped in a thick red jacket by the nurse and wore a dark green crepe "claw pull hat". The four-year-old child's legs and feet are really short, and he is wrapped round, so he can't get by.

He didn't let his grandmother and the little eunuchs help, so he was so anxious that the people who served around him circled around him. He himself was tired and sweaty, and his little face was hot crimson, and he finally turned over and sat on the ground.

This fall alarmed the queen, she snorted and said angrily: "Presumptuous, are you all dead? How do you take care of the prince?! ”

The grandmothers, palace maids, and eunuchs who were waiting around didn't care to help the prince, so they hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Niang Niang Chitose!" ”

"The slave is guilty! Slaves and maids should be damned! Didn't serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well! Especially the nurse, when she saw the queen, she knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy.

The prince only got up at this time, and defended the nurse with a hard mouth: "It's me who wants to cross by myself, it's none of their business!" ”

At a young age, you know how to talk back! The queen became more and more angry, and was about to get angry, when Mrs. Jin beside her consciously tugged at the corner of her clothes. Only then did the queen try her best to smooth her eyebrows, squatted down and opened her hands and said, "Good boy, come to the queen mother." ”

Unexpectedly, the prince "snorted" from his nose, and actually pulled the nurse up and ran away. Several eunuchs, all of whom were ordered by the queen to follow the prince without leaving an inch, were busy and bowed and retreated.

This scene made the queen angry, and there was no movement for a long time.

"Niangniang, Niangniang is angry, it's not worth it to be angry...... Mrs. Jin helped the queen up, and pulled her to the uninhabited land, before approaching her and whispering, "Lezhi, why did the mother tell you?" It's not born by itself, it's separated by flesh and blood, and you can't kiss it! ”

"Mother! So what can I do? It's been eight years, no matter whether my body is well conditioned or not, the emperor is ...... Even if he stayed in Kunning Palace now, he never ......"

Such a secret thing in the room, even if she opened it to her own mother, the queen still felt embarrassed.

"Silly girl, so you should work harder!" Mrs. Jin opened her head and looked around, and said in a low voice, "Now that the female bachelor is not in the palace, don't mention the past again, but the old drama can still be repeated, right?" ”

The queen glanced at Madame Jin suspiciously, then came to her senses, turned around to look at the direction where the prince left, snorted coldly, and turned around and walked out.

………………

"Niangniang, what you wanted, the slave maid brought it to you."

The twilight sprinkled on the platform of Kunning Palace, and a few wisps ran in with the door and landed on Zheng Jinlian's back. The queen stared at her for a long time, but did not say a word.

In fact, she rarely confronts Zheng Jinlian head-on, whether it is cooperation between the two or estrangement, either in secret, or after being placed on the table, she must swallow it back into her stomach, she can't see through her, and she doesn't want to understand it.

Now, there is no value in using her.

"Mother's ......"

The queen was called back to her senses, and her lips hooked: "Thank you, Jin Lian." ”

Zheng Jinlian suddenly wanted to laugh.

Before coming, she had thought about asking the Empress Dowager why she was still helping the Empress. Obviously, the female bachelor is not there, and the empress dowager should be even more reluctant for the queen to gain power.

But when the Empress Dowager handed her the pot of wine, she understood everything.

The queen needs her own heirs, and no matter how long it takes, she will not give up.

And the Empress Dowager needs the emperor's heirs to continue, no matter how unwilling she is, she will not obstruct it.

The disdain on the queen's face, she could see it clearly.

For the first time, Zheng Jinlian had the urge to escape. It's not because of how terrible the queen is, when it comes to scheming, she is less than one-tenth of herself. If you have to say why, it should be loss, right? Zheng Jinlian understands that the person the emperor loves the most is not there, and the person who loves the emperor the most is also gone.

"Mother, the slave has put the wine here. The Empress Dowager was about to eat, and the slaves and maids retired first. ”

"Wait." Zheng Jinlian had just stepped back and turned around, but the queen stopped her and symbolically ordered, "You should know that you should keep your mouth shut......"

Zheng Jinlian couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but this laughter implied a sense of desolation, "Niangniang, if the slave's mouth is not tight, I'm afraid Niangniang's status will be lost a long time ago, right?" ”

"You!" The queen was angry, so she suppressed her thoughts again, and sneered: "Turn back to this palace, let this palace take a good look, do you have the capital to worry about this palace." ”

There was something in her words, and it was really ugly when she carefully distinguished, Zheng Jinlian's body was shocked, but she still refused to turn her head back, but she didn't say anything to refute it.

"What, nothing?" The queen took a breath and continued, "After all, haven't you all lost to this palace?" What's the use of childhood sweethearts, and what's the use of true feelings? It's all false, jokes, only this position is real. ”

Zheng Jinlian didn't have to look back, she also knew that she was smug in patting the phoenix chair under her. Hearing this, she should leave. But this time, she suddenly wanted to say a few words for someone.

Let the queen know some of the stakes.

Turning her head suddenly, without half a smile, she stared at the queen's eyes and said directly: "Niangniang, your position is just given to you by someone!" ”

The queen was stunned, but she heard Zheng Jinlian continue: "Niangniang, it was you and I who single-handedly created the mistake between the emperor and the female bachelor, but did Niangniang think that everything had been covered up? Niangniang thinks that the female bachelor is controlled by you as a pawn and doesn't know anything? The mother was wrong, she knew, she knew that the prince was her child! ”

"What did you say?!" The queen stood up in shock.

"I said she already knew the secret! She can completely expose the mother, she can completely kick you off the imposter with her mother's son, but she didn't do it. Because she's the same as the emperor, she's not such a selfish person......"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Jinlian felt relieved in her heart, and Gu Zi went out, leaving the queen stunned in shock.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Jin walked out of the side hall and called her softly, "Niangniang......"

"Someone!" The queen ignored her, and asked for someone to order, "Quickly spread the news that Zheng Jinlian is the prince's biological mother, and find Liu Shan, Zheng Wang, go quickly!" ”

After the people left, Mrs. Jin asked suspiciously, "Niangniang, what do you want?" ”

"Zheng Jinlian ......" The queen walked to the table and picked up the pot of wine, and said with a gloomy face, "When the palace has chips, I can't keep her......"

……………………

Since then, the rumors about the true and false mother of the country have not stopped, but spread to all parts of the country like long legs, and caused a sensational case - "Zheng Wang's Fallacy Case".

The masterminds Liu Shan and Zheng Wang didn't care for the time being, and the palace only heard that someone saw two eunuchs escorting Zheng Jinlian, the most powerful palace maid in Qingning Palace, into the Huanyi Bureau.

When the guards of the Huanyi Bureau saw her, they stood solemnly on both sides with a very respectful attitude.

Zheng Jinlian knew that it was the Empress Dowager who had confessed. But Zheng Jinlian also knew that in order to protect the reputation of the royal family and cover up her interference, the Queen Mother finally chose to give up her chess piece.

The water in the Huanyi Bureau was very cold, and Zheng Jinlian reached into it and gently played with it. The sun was jumping on the water, and the stirring light and shadow rippled across her eyebrows, and no one saw the loneliness and remorse that was revealed in it.
