Concubine Xiangui didn't fall, because she dragged the two people around her: one was her personal female official Run'er, and the other was the chief eunuch in her palace, Father-in-law Ping.

Father-in-law Ping was also startled, and then he was pulled coldly by Concubine Xian, and immediately fell out and lay on the ground, and the most standard paralyzed horse was lying on the ground.

A fall was nothing, it hurt but it didn't hurt anything; If you want to die, Run'er was also dragged by Concubine Xian Guifei behind him, and naturally fell on the back of Ping's father-in-law.

Run'er was not injured, but Ping's father-in-law was somewhat injured. However, Father-in-law Ping didn't care about those pains, because the warm fragrance of nephrite jade from his back made his soul float up all of a sudden.

Let Ping's father-in-law even forget the sentence he just heard in an instant, and forget to see who the person who opened his mouth was.

Concubine Xiangui didn't fall, she didn't even stabilize her body before she turned her head to look at the place where the sound came from, and in the leeward place of the rockery, there was a person sitting and a person standing.

However, because of the problem of the shadow of the rockery, the virtuous concubine bathed in the moonlight and tried her best to see who the person was; She didn't speak, and the person who spoke on her behalf was Run'er, who fell to the ground.

Run'er can become the henchman of Concubine Xian, she is naturally extremely clever, and she doesn't care about her wolf at this time: "Who?!" Aren't you afraid of palace rules when you mess with ghosts here? Don't get off the ...... quickly."

She didn't finish her words, and the reason why she almost bit her tongue and swallowed the next words was because there was a light under the rockery: a palace lamp that was not big or small was lit.

The palace lamp is very exquisite, but compared to the palace lamp used by the virtuous concubine, it is still too simple; However, the value of the lantern is sometimes not in the lantern itself, especially in the lantern in the palace - the simple lantern in front of me has two words written on it, "Fengxiang".

Now who in the palace doesn't know that Fengxiang Palace is the queen's bedroom? No matter how simple the lantern lit by the other party, because of these two words, this lantern is also one of the best lanterns in the palace.

Isn't the person sitting upright under the light the queen, and the person holding the lantern beside her is the old eunuch: Run'er doesn't know it, but Pinggong knows it—fifth.

The fifth is inconspicuous after returning to the palace, compared to the queen's iron fist, the fifth person is like a glowing firefly in the sun: who can still see the light?

The shock in Concubine Xiangui's heart can be imagined, but there is only one thing she can do, that is, she stepped forward and knelt down to greet the queen: "Concubine respectfully invites the queen Sheng'an." "made a very surrendering gesture, not because she was caught by the queen, but because she has always been like this in front of the queen.

Kneeling, she also glanced at the gate of the cold palace not very far away—the queen was obviously prepared, because waiting for her in this place made her have no lies to tell.

In addition to coming out of the cold palace, it is impossible for her to appear on the road outside the cold palace. She just didn't know how much the queen knew, so she wondered how to confess her guilt in her heart.

Confession is the first ability of people in the palace: confession is a survival skill, you have to admit if you are wrong, and you have to confess when you need it; It's just that the skills are very important, and the most important skill is how many sins you confess.

When to tell the truth, when to be half-truthed, when to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence -- these skills can only be understood but not spoken.

At this time, Han Shi in the cold palace felt the coldness of the cold palace for the first time, and it was cold to her bones: her cold teeth were obviously clenched very tightly, but she still made a soft sound of knocking her teeth against each other.

Originally, she was going to sleep, although she couldn't sleep at all, but she still decided to go to bed and lie down. She has always thought that she should take care of herself, because her appearance is the biggest reliance on her to gain a foothold in the six palaces after she left the cold palace.

Neither the daughter she gave birth to nor the son she gave birth to could be her greatest dependence; On the contrary, her existence is what her children rely on.

Just as she sat down on the bed, the window was blown open by the wind. The wind was so strong tonight that the side hall was leaking everywhere, so she closed all the windows—why was one of them open?

The doubts in her mind had just been born, and the lights in the hall flickered, and the room suddenly darkened, and there was one more person in front of her; Someone she knows, someone who will never appear in front of her.

Lu Youshou.

He is the chief eunuch beside the Queen Mother, and he is also one of the few chief managers in the palace; has always been the empress dowager's confidant, so Han is very familiar with her.

Han had even heard rumors about Lü Youshou that he was the emperor's man; But she knew that it was impossible, Lu Youshou was the Queen Mother's person, he was only loyal to the Queen Mother, and he was the Queen Mother's most trusted dog.

"Mother, it's cleared." Lu Youshou's voice seemed to be shaken by the flickering lights, and there was an inexplicable eerie feeling in Han's ears.

Han immediately stood up, with a smile on his face that he didn't even have when facing the emperor and empress: "Gonggong Lu, is the queen mother's phoenix body okay?" I prayed for the Queen Mother from time to time in the cold palace, and I only asked God to bless the Queen Mother's phoenix health and well-being. ”

Lu Youshou smiled, and even his smile was made dark and bright by the shaking light, and Han's heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Fortunately, the light finally stopped holding on and went out in the wind blowing in from the window; In the completely dark side hall, even if there were sporadic moons spilling into the room through the broken part of the window, it could not make Han Shi feel any light.

Black, too dark; It's cold, it's too cold.

Those who also feel cold are also virtuous concubines. The cold that Concubine Xian felt was almost the same as that of the Han family, and she felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.

"In such weather, Sister Xianguifei is really good Yaxing." The queen was calm and quiet, and her eyes were also flat looking at the virtuous concubine; Even in the light and moonlight, Concubine Xian still felt that the queen's eyes were too bright.

Concubine Xian's heart shrank into a ball because of the queen's bright eyes: "The queen forgives the sin, the concubine knows her mistakes, please punish the queen." "She is a smart person, so while she is favored by the emperor, she has never been involved in the turmoil in the palace.

Whether it was when the battle between the queen and Han Guifei was at its most intense, or when Han Guifei was in charge of the harem, she had never been calculated, and she had lived peacefully until now.

Therefore, she immediately pleaded guilty: "The concubine should not secretly visit the cold palace at night, this is a big crime, and the concubine does not dare to excuse herself by clever words." "Confession is really learning, she admitted as soon as she opened her mouth to visit the cold palace at night, whether she wants to say anything more, or say something irrelevant, it depends on how the queen will speak.
