The next day, Bixiu and Caifu were waiting to wash, and the Wang family had sent someone to urge, in the end, the newlywed Yan'er, Yu Huan obviously didn't have the mind to stay longer, hastily used breakfast, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and took the color ring, and hurried away.

East Sixth Palace, Jingyang Palace, Cold Palace.

Zhou Zhenwei brought the squire and a forbidden army to pass through the Zhongcui Palace. The road is still a scene of willows and green and flowers steaming like a glow, but it is like a remnant sun sinking in the west in an instant, and it is gloomy.

A large garden has been abandoned for many years, depressed, desolate and desolate, showing a decadent state, dozens of ancient camphor trees are fiercely wound and strangled, and their faces have long been blurred, and the weeds are as dead and silent as stiff, and they are dead and dead like smoke.

The group walked silently, the shadows of the trees all over the ground were heavy, the wind was chaotic, and they felt that there seemed to be a figure looking at the corner, half-hiding and half-hiding whispering, crying impliedly, and laughing. When he got closer, he was empty, and he was nowhere to be seen. It didn't take long to arrive in front of Jingyang Palace, the powder wall was mottled, the moss was bruised, the door was tightly closed, and the rusty copper lock was falling.

The forbidden army stepped forward to open the lock, the fish penetrated in, Zhou Zhenwei looked around, this is a two-entry courtyard, the face is three wide, the top of the yellow glazed tile palace, the eaves corner beasts, the color paintings have been corroded by wind and rain, and they have long been not obvious, the peculiar thing is that there are many crows splashing ink parked above, or lying or standing, black and pitchy, dense, and the sound of even monsters is really shocking.

The side halls around are sealed to put the door, only the main hall is left, the door has not been closed, only the void is hidden.

Zhou Zhenwei pondered for a moment, and let everyone stay in the courtyard, he went to the door alone, and bowed his hand and said: "For the minister Zhou Zhenwei, the young Yin of the Jingfu, on the order of the emperor, once again thoroughly investigate the case of the former queen and queen, and come to disturb the concubine!" ”

It seems that after half a day, the hall is still dark and silent, and there is no voice.

Zhou Zhenwei continued: "When I came now, King Wu waited in front of the palace gate, he guessed that the concubine would not show anyone again, and he specially asked the minister to pass a word, ten years have passed, and the emperor is old!" ”

After going for another half an hour, Zhou Zhenwei sighed lightly, and when he turned around to leave, he heard an old and hoarse voice coming slowly: "Zhou Shaoyin come in alone!" ”

The door "squeaked" and pushed open, the dim light was obliquely shot, the carved beams and painted cobwebs were shaking, the bookcase, stools and chairs, small pestles, etc. were all dusty, the scraps were almost untouched, scattered at will, the concubine sat in front of the dresser, wrapped in plain clothes, facing the rhombic glasses, and was slowly using the grate, grate the gray hair on the temples, and easily picked the only hairpin on the sideburns.

Zhou Zhenwei stepped forward and bowed down, that is, he was exempted from sitting. Shu Concubine said lightly: "Zhou Shaoyin is coming, and there is no hospitality, there is a tea house on the table, you pour your own tea to eat!" ”

Zhou Zhenwei saw that the tea pot was broken and the tea bowl was covered with dust, and he felt pity in his heart, that is, he pursed his lips and said: "The minister came this time, and the Lord came to verify the queen's case!" ”

The concubine half-bowed her head, and said in a difficult voice: "After many years of red face and dry bones, isn't the emperor still giving up?" ”

"Not only does the emperor not give up, but does the concubine want to be wronged again?" Zhou Zhenwei's eyes were blazing and said: "For the ministers who have not slept for a few days and nights, they have carefully inspected the records, oral records, and corpses in the dossier one by one, and there are many suspicions. ”

The concubine was so dumb that she was only slightly moved when she heard King Wu, and said silently: "What should have been said has already been recorded, Zhou Shaoyin can ask something else, and this palace can answer a thing or two if you know!" ”

"What is the queen's temperament?" Zhou Zhenwei asked: "Everyone says that she is dignified and virtuous, respectful to her superiors and subordinates, and acts extremely prudently, but according to the ministers, she once hunted in a certain way, because of the death of a woman from an official family, the queen did not think about tea and dinner for many days!" ”

The concubine thought for a long time before she said: "The person has gone, and she shouldn't talk about things anymore, she is indeed a capable person, and she is also kind and humble." It's just too demanding of herself, everything is perfect, and she can't listen to others say that she is not good, otherwise she will be depressed in her heart and can't extricate herself. Especially after giving birth to the crown prince, she is even more Japanese. Thinking about it at night, full of sorrow, crying all night! ”

"Do you know why she is depressed?" Zhou Zhenwei asked again: "At that time, Niangniang and Rong Concubine Niangniang were at the peak of the emperor's favor?" ”

The concubine paused for a moment, her face was sad and confused, and she said lightly: "The queen is a person who laughs in front of her and worries behind her, and this palace knows that it is only because she occasionally heard her close palace maid say a word!" At that time, the palace had just obtained the dragon species, and the concubines were exotic women, good at amorous style, and naturally they were more favored than others! ”

"In the dossier, it is said that Niangniang knew that Concubine Rong was pregnant with a dragon seed, but she didn't report it when she was poisoned, but why?"

Hearing this, the concubine smiled bleakly: "The palace has said many times, but no one is willing to believe it, today I will tell Zhou Shaoyin again, Concubine Rong is happy, the palace and the imperial doctor have already been given to the queen, then the emperor will go away to hunt, and the queen also smiled and said that when the emperor comes back, she will be happy and happy, and the harem will be sealed!" Who knew that when the emperor came back, the queen was seriously ill, and then a series of things happened, and the palace only knew that the emperor was happy about the concubine! ”

She suddenly became tired, coughed a few times, and then said, "Zhou Shaoyin is here!" Ten years of checking the reincarnation, every time there is blood and rain, the palace has already described the dry draft, and it is really tiring! Go yourself, and remember to close the door! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked slowly along the wall until she disappeared behind the moon cave door!

Zhou Zhenwei came out, covered the door, he beckoned the waiter to step forward, put some silver, and said in a low voice: "For the eunuch in charge, get a pot of good tea to drink and send it to the concubine!" ”

The waiter nodded and took the order, Zhou Zhenwei was not in a hurry to leave, and stood under the corridor for a while, the sky did not know when, the haze was low, there was rain and stars, and the old crow was still leaning on the top of the eaves, stunned and immovable. A flash flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized something, and looked back sharply, and the room was as silent as ever!

Yuqiao was concentrating on copying the calligraphy in front of the bookcase, Bixiu remembered something, rummaged through the painting jar on the side, as if she hadn't found it, and looked at it again, touched it in the west, and muttered to herself in her mouth!

Yu Qiao sighed, put the wolf in the place of the pen, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "What rare treasure are you looking for?" It's a lot of trouble! ”

Bixiu hurriedly smiled and asked: "How did the painting of Master Zhou painted by Miss a few days ago disappear?" Let the slave maid be easy to find! Where's the young lady? ”

"Oh!" Yu Qiao lowered his eyes and looked at his own words, and replied lightly: "Don't use it to look for it, I threw it away!" ”

"Thrown?" Bi Xiuyuan opened her eyes and sighed: "Miss, what kind of temper is this?" It's a pity that the painting! Lord Zhou should know how to live? ”

"Then don't let him know!" Yuqiao curled her lips and chuckled.

At this time, Lu'er lifted the curtain and came, and Lord Zhou was in the second hall, looking for Bixiu to ask questions!
