Concubine Xian is a smart person, so in just a moment, she understands that it is impossible for her to hide from the queen what she came out of the cold palace; Therefore, she directly opened her mouth to ask for sin, and asked a queen to ask for a sin that the queen already knew.

She didn't say that the queen also knew, and she said that it was just right to dissipate the queen's anger. At the very least, the queen will forgive her three points: who can feel bad about her own deferential life?

The queen nodded: "Yes." She only answered one word of the virtuous concubine, and there was not a word more, so she sat there and ate melon seeds.

It's not like the nobles in the palace such as the virtuous concubine, who let the palace people or eunuchs peel the melon seeds before eating, the queen is like a folk woman who eats the melon seeds herself.

The queen thinks that only when she eats the melon seeds that she knocks out is called a fragrance, so even if she is no longer the female history of the cold palace, she still insists on knocking the melon seeds by herself. As for the manners, it doesn't matter to the queen at all.

After going through so much, the queen has seen through and seen a lot, and the so-called etiquette rules are no longer as important as they used to be in her eyes; On the contrary, some truths and laws are heavier in her eyes.

Concubine Xian Guifei watched the melon seed skin spit out by the queen float and blow away with the wind, and there was a blank space in her mind for a moment: she and the queen were old acquaintances, so she asked herself if she knew the queen very well.

But is the person in front of you really the queen? If it weren't for the queen who was welcomed back by the emperor in person, she really had to go to the emperor to talk about it: she really doubted that the person in front of her would be the queen, because in addition to her appearance, she didn't look like the previous queen at all.

If it weren't for the fact that it was strictly forbidden to mention any ghosts or monsters in the palace, she would have wanted to invite someone to do it: The queen wouldn't be a ghost, right? You must know that the place with the heaviest yin and resentment in the palace is the cold palace, I heard that the queen has been living in the cold palace for more than ten years since she died.

Maybe the queen is really not the queen now, but a dead ghost in the cold palace or something. Of course, she can only think about these in her heart, and she will never dare to declare them.

The emperor is very taboo about these ghosts, if the virtuous concubine really wants to say this, the queen's hair will not fall out, and she will be severely punished by the emperor, and maybe she will be thrown directly into the cold palace.

Concubine Xian's plan was frustrated, and the queen did not ask her anything, nor did she say anything, although she responded to her, but she did not even reveal the intention of disposing of her, so that she could not judge how much the queen knew—but it was clear that the queen was satisfied with what she had just said.

Sweat came out of Concubine Xian's back, and it stands to reason that she would only sweat when it was hot, but Concubine Xian's cold whole body was shivering, but the sweat on her back was almost soaking her clothes.

"The concubine shouldn't go to visit the Han family without asking for a decree, please ask the queen to punish her." She could only continue to plead guilty, otherwise she didn't know if the queen would give her great suffering in anger.

The most important thing is that she wants to keep the honest image in the queen's heart, and she can't let the queen be superfluous wary of her.

The queen spit out two pieces of melon seed skin, and took a sip of tea with the fifth hand: "Hmm." The second sound remained the same, but this one was noticeably weaker than the first.

The virtuous concubine who listened was nervous in her heart, knowing that the queen was impatient; But the queen is like this, she really doesn't know how much the queen knows, and she doesn't know how much she should say: her confession technique doesn't seem to work.

Say more, don't say more, say a lot, that is, if you say a word, you don't know what the queen will catch, and then pull out something - this is what the virtuous concubine is most afraid of.

Don't say anything, hey, the queen will definitely regard her as a treacherous person, and the image she has given the queen of honesty and duty over the years will make the queen even more annoyed with her at this time, and will regard her as the most cunning person in the palace.

The fifth put away the teacup: "Guifei Niangniang, let me say something you don't like to hear - just say as much as you want, don't say a word and wait for the queen to reply to you, then let's go directly to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

"This hour is not far from the early dynasty, and it is nothing to call the emperor early, just before the early dynasty, let the emperor listen to the words of the concubine." When he said this, he bent over the virtuous concubine, looking completely respectful.

Concubine Xian's heart was cold when she heard this, and she looked at the fifth face that was too old to be good, and she was stunned for a long time before she woke up and couldn't be silent: but she didn't understand whether the last few words of the fifth meant something or literally.

The people in the palace pay attention to leaving three points when they speak, so she really doesn't dare to listen to it just literally: the emperor listens to her words before the court, so does the court have an opinion on her father?

Concubine Xian felt that this was what the fifth word meant, and the more she tried to calm herself, the more she thought that what she expected was not bad, so the more panicked she became.

The queen has just come back, even if she has the ability to reach the sky, how much can she know? Concubine Xian comforted herself not to think too much, but when she thought about it, she thought that the queen and Ah Feng had walked so far and came back, did she hear something along the way?

Or what had she noticed before the queen returned? Concubine Xian has a ghost in her heart, and she is a careful person, she lives with herself, she feels that if she wants to return to Beijing, then she will definitely send someone back to Beijing as soon as possible to inquire about all kinds of news.

lest he be too passive in the face of a qiē after he comes back, and lest he be calculated by others. Therefore, she thought that it would not be strange if the queen sent people back to the capital early, and really knew something.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the queen would be waiting for her here? If the queen only knew about it when she came last night, then how could the queen expect her to come to the cold palace again today?

The more people who have ghosts in their hearts think about it, the more suspicious they become, and the less courageous they become. The virtuous concubine kowtowed: "Niangniang, the concubine came to see the Han family because of the matter of the five princes; Because the concubine coveted a set of noodles given by the five princes, she would be confused and do the wrong thing for a while. ”

"The fifth prince is as careful as a hair, and he will not go back to the concubine's dormitory for more than a month before the queen returns, and even his people will not come to the vicinity of the palace. If there is anything, use the cat that the concubine has to send a message. ”

"Leave a message on the ribbon that the cat ties around its neck. Although there will be cats who are playful and can't deliver messages in time, they are not in a hurry to deliver the news in this way. Until now, it has not been discovered. ”

She said here and kowtowed again and again: "Because the concubine and the concubine's family, as well as the prince born of the concubine, are all people who do their duty, and they have never had other ideas, especially thoughts that should not be; Therefore, when the five princes find a concubine, the concubine will be greedy for money for a while. ”

Concubine Xian took the initiative to confess the five princes, anyway, the five princes were already a villain in front of the queen, so that the queen could divert her anger.

She also said how to pass on the news, this kind of thing no one knows, so that it can win people's trust more, make people believe that what she said is true, and no longer hide things.

As for her last words, they were nothing more than to show that she and her prince had no idea about the throne, that they were people without ambition: to break the queen's guard and anger.
