The next day was the fifth day of the eighth month, and the sky was overcast, and there was no trace of daylight. Zhaoyun remembered that when he was in the cold palace, the queen took care of herself, so she went to Chaoyang Palace to thank the queen accompanied by Bai Zhi.

When passing through the Yanyu Pavilion, it happened that Zhang Meiren and Li Cairen walked out. Zhang Meiren saluted Zhaoyun and said, "See Xia Jieyu", Zhaoyun said "no courtesy", but saw Li Cairen looking at him with an arrogant expression.

Before Zhaoyun could say anything, Bai Zhi was unhappy in her heart, and said angrily: "Li Cairen, you saw the little master of my family, why didn't you pay a visit, don't you know that the low-ranking concubines are rude to the high-ranking concubines, what should be the crime?" ”

Li Cairen sneered, but he spat hard at the ground, his voice was a little mocking, and said, "Rude? It's ridiculous, why should I bow to a sinner girl when I am innocent. After a pause, he looked at Zhaoyun again, snorted, and said: "Jieyu only relied on her father's merits to get the emperor's mercy, moved out of the cold palace, and was in Jieyu's position." It's not that Jieyu thinks that when she gets out of the cold palace, she can still be favored by grace, if that's the case, I don't think Jieyu needs to dream anymore. ”

Hearing this, Zhaoyun thought that his current situation was really unbearable, even a small talented person dared to be so presumptuous to himself, I was afraid that this was just the beginning, and there might be a lot of bitterness waiting for him in the future.

settled down, but Zhaoyun smiled gently: "My sister's net worth is innocent, and my sister is the same, the truth will always come out to the world one day, whether you can accept grace and gain favor again, that's my sister's business, don't worry about my sister." I want my sister to enter the palace for several years, and she has sharp teeth, so she should be very sacred. It's a pity that he is still in the position of a talented person. ”

Li Cairen's face was a little embarrassed. Snorted, no more talking. Zhaoyun caught another glimpse of Zhang Meiren's face. seems to have something on her mind, thinking that Zhang Meiren has passed on her only daughter to Concubine Shu, she doesn't feel a little good. He stepped forward and said, "Sister Zhang is a knowledgeable person, if you are free in the future, you can also go to me to walk around." ”

Zhang Meiren replied softly, but Li Cairen sneered: "This is unacceptable, who knows that there are some things in Jieyu Palace that are not seen, Concubine Shu is already a lesson from the past, and we still want to live for a long time." It's as far away from Jieyu as possible, so that you don't know how to die. Moreover, if you have a close relationship with Jieyu, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not think that Jieyu is a party and the crime of killing the emperor's heir is not something that everyone can afford. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, his face was already a little unhappy, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but step forward to reprimand, but was stopped by Zhaoyun with his hand. Li Cairen was still unconscious, and said to Zhang Meidao: "I said a long time ago that this is a kind face and a scorpion-hearted person. Thanks to her sister, she still saluted her, and in the blink of an eye, she thought about how to harm her sister. I advised my sister to be careful and not to fall into the trap. ”

Zhaoyun listened to Li Cairen's words, and every word was aimed at himself. didn't want to be entangled more, so he simply ignored the two of them and walked forward.

Chaoyang Palace. The queen saw Zhaoyun coming to pay a visit. Busy gave a seat, and ordered Mengxiang to bring the tea. Zhaoyun saluted. After taking a seat, Yin Yin said: "The concubine came to thank the queen today. When the concubine was in the cold palace, the queen took more care of the concubine, and the concubine was very grateful. ”

The queen smiled and said: "My sister's words are outside, as the queen, this palace is in charge of all the affairs of the six palaces, and she should be in harmony with the palace, and she will not let a concubine be wronged." My sister can rest assured that the palace has secretly investigated carefully, and there are already clues about the miscarriage of Concubine Shu that day, but the stakes are very high, and I can't explain it to my sister for the time being. However, sooner or later, this matter will be explained to my sister. ”

When Zhaoyun heard this, tears were already falling from the corners of his eyes, and he whimpered: "Thank you Queen, the queen is really a model of motherhood in the world, and she has worked so hard for the matter of concubines, and the concubines are really unrequited." ”

The queen said: "Since this palace is the mother of this country, it is natural to be worthy of the identity of the mother of this country." Think back then, when the palace was in the boudoir, every time I read the history books, I admired the talents of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the emperor and Empress Deng, Empress Deng practiced frugality in the palace, exhorted the emperor to recruit talents, reduce taxes, and amnesty The deeds of the world have long been well known, and the most rare thing is that Empress Deng is meticulous, and she is also shrewd in prison, and she can often break the grievances. At that time, Bengong thought that if one day, Bengong became a queen, he must be a person like Queen Deng, so as to live up to this life. ”

Zhaoyun's mind turned, and when he was in the cold palace, he actually had some doubts, thinking that the queen's care for him was mostly due to his identity as the daughter of the general. Now it seems that the queen is really virtuous, a person who really understands the general situation and is sensible. Come to think of it, if you don't have the bearing and feelings of the great mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the queen's position for 20 years.

Coming out of Chaoyang Palace, Zhaoyun's mood has improved a lot, and he thinks of Concubine Shu, he has been thinking about it these days, and he doesn't know how it is now, I wonder if Concubine Shu will listen to her explanation?

Thinking like this, Zhaoyun had already walked to Zhongling Palace, and the two eunuchs at the gate of Zhongling Palace saw Zhaoyun and bowed slightly, without saying much. Bai Zhi stepped forward and said, "You go inside and report it, and say that the little master of my family has come to visit Concubine Shuniang." ”

At this moment, a maid walked out, glanced at Zhaoyun coldly, did not salute, and said coldly: "My mother is unwell, and she can't see your guests, so please go back." ”

Zhaoyun didn't blame the maid for her rudeness, and said earnestly: "If you go and talk about it again, I will say that I have something very important to explain to your mother." ”

The maid glanced at Zhaoyun and snorted, "Why, didn't Jieyu understand what I said just now, my mother is unwell and can't see people." Could it be that Jieyu still dislikes our mother, and it is not enough for her to harm again? Moreover, who knows what Jieyu is carrying, in case she goes in to see Niangniang, it will cause Niangniang's illness again, and I am afraid that Niangniang's life will be difficult to protect. ”

Zhaoyun was robbed by a maid so sharply, and he was already a little angry in his heart. Suddenly, I thought, what the maid said this, could it be that Concubine Shu deliberately instructed her, could it be that Concubine Shu didn't trust herself, and even resented herself to such a point?

When Zhaoyun thought about it like this, he was even more disheartened, it seemed that he was already like duckweed in the palace. The sisterhood is no longer there, the innocent net worth has been wronged, and there are other concubines who deliberately make it difficult, and the road ahead is really difficult.

Back in the Ning Huan Palace, Zhaoyun was already very tired, so he simply lay down on the couch and rested in peace.

Lu Yang said to Bai Zhi: "Sister, it's strange today, the Huanyi Bureau actually sent a palace maid over, saying that it was to see if the little master had clothes that needed to be washed, I picked some, and the palace maid said that she couldn't take a lot, so let me send them over." I told my sister this in private, the little master is not favored now, why did the Huanyi Bureau rush to slap the little master? ”

Bai Zhi has gone through a lot of things, and she can't help but wonder in her heart, according to common sense, the people in the Huanyi Bureau have not received half of the favor from the little master, and they really shouldn't rush to ask the little master for laundry. Besides, if the little master's clothes are dirty, the people serving next to him will naturally send them to the Huanyi Bureau in person, so what is the reason for it?

Thinking of this layer, Bai Zhi already had two layers of worries, one was worried that the people from the Huanyi Bureau would do something on Zhaoyun's clothes, and the other layer was afraid that someone deliberately diverted the tiger away from the mountain and took the opportunity to mix into the small main palace to place some unsightly things.

"Lu Yang, the little master is back, I'm afraid that someone will be uneasy again, you and I should also clean up the inner hall."

Zhaoyun heard Suosuo's voice in the room, opened his eyes, and looked at Bai Zhi Luyang searching for something everywhere in the hall, and couldn't help but ask, "Bai Zhi, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Zhi asked, bowed her head and replied: "The little master woke up, it was the slave who was not good, and woke up the little master." Seeing Zhaoyun looking at him with questioning eyes, he explained the reason for the matter.

When Zhaoyun heard this, he was shocked again, isn't it enough that he has suffered so much in the cold palace, and those people still refuse to let him go?

Thinking of this, Zhaoyun turned over and sat up, and also began to search with Bai Zhi and Lu Yang.

"Little Lord, look, what is this?" Bai Zhi lifted Zhaoyun's futon and found a puppet with eight small characters engraved on it, "Murong Qianguang of the Dahua Dynasty", and a few silver needles pierced on it.

Zhaoyun glanced at it, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "It's such a vicious strategy, it's not enough to wronged me once, do you want to wronged me a second time?" ”

Bai Zhi Zhengse asked, "Little master, what should I do with this thing?" ”

Zhao Yun didn't think about it and said, "Burn it, don't leave a trace." I'm afraid that someone will come to this palace in a while. ”

Sure enough, in the evening, the emperor and the concubine came to the Ninghuan Hall together, and after Zhaoyun saluted, several people were speechless for a while.

After a while, the emperor said: "Xia Jieyu, I didn't want to come, but Concubine Ping tried her best to persuade me, so I came to take a look at you." You must have thought about it in the cold palace when you committed such a crime, and I hope that you will practice more virtues in the future, and if there is a next time, I will not spare it. ”

Zhaoyun responded in a low voice, looked at Concubine Ping and said: "Since the concubine entered the palace, Sister Concubine Ping has taught the concubine a lot, and now she has invited the emperor to visit the concubine, the concubine is grateful, and she will be rewarded in the future." ”

Concubine Ping had a hint of coldness in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Sister is polite." As he spoke, he glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Our mother is kind-hearted, knowing that Jieyu has repented, and specially selected a few sets of good light red gauze curtains to give to Jieyu, and I hope that Jieyu will meditate and cultivate virtue in the future and practice more of herself." ”

Concubine Ping smiled slightly, saw the emperor looking at her with appreciative eyes, and said to the maid: "Why don't you go and change the curtain for Sister Xia." ”

Zhaoyun was clear in his heart, he really came prepared, fortunately, he had already seen through the gangster's tricks, otherwise he would definitely be wronged again today, maybe the emperor was angry, and he might kill himself, thinking of this, a chill surged in his heart.

Since everyone was there, Concubine Ping's maid hung up the curtain and pretended to unintentionally spread the brocade quilt, but she couldn't find the puppet that had been designed earlier. had to turn around and gesture to Concubine Ping, who suddenly understood that the puppet was afraid that it would be discovered and destroyed by Zhaoyun, so she had to call the maid back.

Zhaoyun thought secretly in his heart: Concubine Ping's plan has failed, but I am afraid that there will be other plans, so I have to be more careful. (To be continued.) )
