When Zhaoyun heard this, he was shocked and painful, and couldn't help crying: "I have never harmed my sister, and others are just fine, how can my sister think of me like this." ”

When the emperor saw Concubine Shu walking out, he hurriedly said: "You just lost your child, go back to the inner room to rest, I will definitely give you justice in this matter." Concubine Shu glanced at Zhaoyun with tears in her eyes, and was helped back to the inner room by the palace maid.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Xia Jieyu, this matter is ironclad, and you have no way to deny it." As he spoke, he turned to the queen and said, "According to the palace rules, what should be the crime of the concubine mutilating the emperor's heir?" ”

Before the queen could speak, Concubine Ping preemptively said: "Xia Jieyu committed such a serious crime, and she deserves to be killed with a cane, but the emperor has always been merciful, so it is better to give her a three-foot white silk to commit suicide, which can be regarded as extra grace." ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Ping, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Concubine Ping knows the palace rules by heart, but Concubine Ping must remember that this palace is the queen, and others have no right to interfere with how to deal with Xia Jieyu." Speaking of this, Concubine Ping's face was a little unbearable, so she simply turned her head away and stopped talking.

The queen continued: "The palace rules are nothing more than human affection, although Xia Jieyu has committed such a big crime, please take care of her mother's merits and be lenient. ”

The emperor looked at Zhaoyun who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, with a little disappointment on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "Xia Jieyu, her words and deeds are wrong, she mutilated the emperor's heir, and she deserves to die, but I remember that she is young and ignorant, and her mother's family has also contributed a lot to the court, so I amgive her for her capital crimes." From now on, he will be demoted to a concubine and put in the cold palace. ”

Zhaoyun knelt on the ground and cried thanksgiving, and then someone from the imperial front took Zhaoyun to the cold palace. The emperor looked around again and said coldly: "All the palace maids and others who participated in the murder of Concubine Shu will be killed with a cane and executed immediately." ”

Yiyun Palace, Concubine Jin and Concubine Ming sat opposite each other, Concubine Jin asked: "Originally, we just planned to make Concubine Shu slowly feel uncomfortable, so that she had a miscarriage, but I don't know who did so much to do it in advance." ”

Concubine Ming said lightly: "Concubine Shu is pregnant, I don't know how many people in the harem are unhappy, originally we only had Luan Yu as a chess piece, we just let Luan Yu mix a small amount of musk in the purse, but Imperial Doctor Zhang said that there is a lot of musk in the purse, and the Guanyin pendant is also mixed with incense, I think, it must be someone else's heart in the dark, the little palace maid who boiled the medicine, and the purple juan in the Xia Palace, I am afraid that it is the chess piece that others buried early." ”

Concubine Jin said: "In this way, there are many scheming people in this palace, but I don't know who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Concubine Ming frowned and said softly: "Sister, think about it, who was the first to say that there was another mastermind in this matter in the Concubine Shufei Palace. Concubine Jin pondered for a long time, and said: "It seems that a palace maid first said that there was a problem with the fetal pill, and then Concubine Ping insisted that there was another mastermind in this matter, and then after investigation, after learning that it was the Xia family, Concubine Ping actually scolded the Xia family and persuaded the emperor to execute the Xia family. Could it be that Concubine Ping planned this matter? ”

Concubine Ming continued: "Su Ri, I looked at it coldly, Concubine Ping was arrogant and domineering, everything was superficial, she should be a shallow person, but I didn't expect to have such a scheming. Or, maybe we were wrong, Concubine Ping just used this reason to vent her evil anger towards the Xia family. The person who is very deep in the city is other concubines, after all, there are not a few scheming people in the palace. ”

Concubine Jin said leisurely: "Concubine Ping hates the Xia family because of her father's affairs, but I am afraid that the Xia family will not have a good time in the cold palace." ”

"The princess is back." Zixuan saw the princess enter the palace, looked sad, and asked, "What's wrong with the princess, her face is so bad?" Bing Ning sighed leisurely: "My father has lost another child, and I have been much haggard in the past two days. ”

Zixuan sighed, he didn't want to ask again, Bing Ning said again: "I really didn't expect that the daughter of a dignified general would do such a thing as mutilating the emperor's heir, which is really unpredictable." When Zixuan heard the words "the daughter of Jiangmen", a spirit was excited, and he couldn't help blurting out: "How can it be possible to kill the emperor's heir, she is not this kind of person." ”

Bing Ning glanced at Zixuan suspiciously, and asked, "Do you know the Xia family?" Zixuan hurriedly said: "I have only heard about it, I heard that the daughter of Xia Mansion is smart and beautiful, and she knows poetry and books, so I don't think I will do such a vicious thing as mutilating the emperor's heir." ”

Bing Ning sighed: "Master is too simple, the concubines in the harem, in order to compete for favor and power, can't do anything, and people's hearts are not visible on the surface." Xia's palace has not been favored for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will not be happy, and he saw that Concubine Shu was pregnant and favored, so he tried to make Concubine Shu miscarry. The heart is so vicious, it really loses the face of Xia Fu. If her father hadn't thought of her father's fight against Rouran and made great contributions, he would have given her to death a long time ago, and now he just demoted her to a concubine and entered the cold palace, which can be regarded as an extrajudicial grace, and I hope that the Xia family can repent carefully in the cold palace. ”

Cold Palace. Zhaoyun has been living here for two days, it is a cold palace, and the concubines who live in it have naturally made a big mistake, and the concubines who were beaten into here by the emperor, as soon as these concubines enter the cold palace, they are afraid that they will not be able to see the emperor again for the rest of their lives, and they will naturally be left out in the cold. The courtyard of the cold palace was overgrown with weeds, and the house was also dilapidated, there was not even a decent chair, there was only a dirty and tattered bedding on the couch, and even the meals sent every day were half-raw and half-rancid, and Zhaoyun, who ate directly, had a bitter tongue. These are nothing, it's just that Zhaoyun is very bitter in his heart, but he has no one to complain to, and his heart is extremely desolate.

That night, because of the slackness of the guards of the cold palace, Zixuan easily mixed in, and when he first entered the cold palace, he saw a row of houses in disrepair, Zixuan naturally didn't know which room Zhaoyun was in, and he couldn't shout, so he had to grope through one by one.

Zixuan first pushed open the door of the most easternmost room, and when the people inside saw someone pushing the door, they hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zixuan, and muttered: "Your Majesty, you are here, Your Majesty, you have come to see the concubine, Your Majesty, the concubine thinks so hard." As he spoke, he rubbed on Zixuan. Zixuan frowned slightly, and pushed the woman away, only to see that the woman was unkempt, screaming in her mouth, like a crazy woman, and rushed towards Zixuan again, Zixuan didn't want to entangle with him more, and flashed out of the door.

Zixuan was worried in his heart, the concubines of the cold palace had fallen to this, and he didn't know what Zhaoyun's situation was. Just thinking about it, he walked to a door again, but the door was half open, Zixuan looked inside, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock, one of the abandoned concubines inside actually committed suicide by hanging a beam, her eyes were wide open, and her tongue was stuck out an inch, the scene was terrifying. Zixuan hurriedly turned around and left, and walked all the way forward.

Zixuan walked to a door again, but heard a sound inside, this time Zixuan didn't dare to push the door again, poked his finger at the window and looked in, the situation in front of him couldn't help but make Zixuan's face red, his heart beat faster, only to see a stout man is moving vigorously on an abandoned concubine, both of them are dressed off, Zixuan suddenly saw the clothes of the cold palace guards on the ground, his heart tightened, his mind was full of Zhaoyun, Zhaoyunsheng's beauty, and he didn't go through the world, will it ......

Thinking like this, Zixuan couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly went forward to find Zhaoyun, and finally saw Zhaoyun in a house. Zhaoyun was leaning on the couch and weeping alone, when he suddenly saw Zixuan coming, he couldn't say a word in shock, but looked at Zixuan with teary eyes. Zixuan stepped forward to hug Zhaoyun, and the two hugged their heads and cried.

After a while, Zixuan said sadly: "Yun'er, you, how did you get to this point, how can you live here." Zhaoyun also said sadly: "Brother Zixuan, why are you here, Zixuan, I'm so afraid, they all want to harm me, this harem is too terrible." ”

Zixuan eased his mind and hurriedly asked, "Yun'er, how are you doing these two days, those guards, did they treat you well?" Zhaoyun cried: "They have nothing to do with me, but I have never suffered before, and I can bear it when I enter this cold palace." Zixuan looked around, couldn't help sighing, and said: "Yun'er, you have suffered, you have always been clothed and fed, and you are used to using the soft couch, where have you suffered so much, this house is dilapidated, how can you live in it." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Yun'er, don't worry, I will find a way to save you." ”

Zhaoyun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, Brother Zixuan, don't try to save me, I'm already useless, you go quickly, leave me alone." ”

Zi Xuan fixed his mind and said: "I have thought of an excellent way to help you escape from the palace, you listen to it first, if it is feasible, you and I can also wander the world and stay together for a lifetime." ”
