Chapter 49: Prelude
Zhou Caiwei and Yang Yunluo have not seen the prince since then.
Zhou Caiwei is soft and good, but Yang Yunluo can't stand it.
"It's like a widow, no, I have to go see the queen." Yang Yunluo stood up and left in a hurry, but Zhou Caiwei didn't have time to stop her.
"What can I do?" Zhou Caiwei paced anxiously.
The prince's concern for Zhuang Zhao can be seen from a sentence that day. Yang Yunluo's go, in case she angers the prince, is not a joke.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Yang Yunluo was "invited" back by pen and ink. He said politely: "Your Highness, please stay in the south hall and don't leave the East Palace at will." ”
Zhou Caiwei whispered.
The pen and ink explained two sentences to the little eunuch behind him, and walked back by himself.
The two little eunuchs stood on either side of the door, as if they looked at them.
Zhou Caiwei closed the door, and then asked Yang Yunluo worriedly, "How is it, they didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
Yang Yunluo's hair was messy, and she nodded her head and cried: "You don't know, I was dragged back by them, and I lost my face now." ”
"It's okay, don't cry yet." Zhou Caiwei comforted softly.
"Your Highness, this is going to put us under house arrest." Yang Yunluo whimpered, "What have we done, you have to treat us like this!" ”
Zhou Caiwei couldn't answer this question.
It may not be them who are at fault, but they have to bear the burden.
This is probably fate.
In the hall on the west side, Zhuang Zhao dressed Ah Ling with great interest.
Ah Ling was very happy when he arrived at such a time.
"It's a stinky one at first glance." Zhuang Zhao rubbed his face against Ah Ling's little fleshy face and laughed mercilessly.
"Master, Your Highness has sent a message back to ask you to lock the palace door, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the East Palace these days." Paper Yan came back from outside, panting.
"White tea, take Ah Ling to bed." Zhuang Zhao said, and then asked the paper inkstone, "What happened?" ”
Paper Yan pointed to the sky with his finger, it seems that something happened to the emperor.
"You let people go to the gates of the palaces and give orders, and by the way, take the token to me." Zhuang Zhao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly instructed.
The East Palace was closed in an instant.
At night, Zhuang Zhao and Ah Ling slept together.
Touching Ah Ling's soft little hand, Zhuang Zhao's heart that had been hanging had a moment of peace.
She kissed Ah Ling's little finger and lay on the bed and closed her eyes in peace.
If the wind and clouds are surging outside, leave it all to the prince.
I slept until midnight, and in a daze, I heard the bell.
Zhuang Zhao was suddenly startled and immediately woke up.
Ah Ling slept well, and he wasn't disturbed at all.
Zhuang Zhao got out of bed lightly.
Bai Cha and the others stood outside the curtain, and as soon as they saw Zhuang Zhao get up, they were about to speak.
Zhuang Zhao sighed.
She instructed Bai Cha to let her look at Ah Ling, and she and Bai Ling went to the side hall first.
"Let the people below put it on tomorrow morning, and don't make any mistakes." She drank her tea and said slowly, "Tomorrow...... The crown princess must be present, paper inkstone, you go and ask Your Highness......"
The crown princess has been sick for too long.
Zhuang Zhao had to be suspicious.
The paper inkstone answered yes, and didn't say a word else.
It seems that someone has given him a gag order.
Forget it, you'll always know when you should know.
The next day, as soon as the palace gate opened, several carriages came in neatly.
The women of the inner order, led by Mrs. Xu, stood in a row according to the rank of the order, walked to the position, and the eunuch shouted to kneel, and they knelt down and began to cry.
Not far ahead are the palace concubines.
From their point of view, there is no saddest person who cries more than the obedient concubine.
Mrs. Zhuang looked at the East Palace, the crown princess was helped out and knelt for a while, her face was sallow, and she was so thin that only bones remained. After kneeling for about a pillar of incense, she poured softly to the side, but fortunately was supported by the palace maid.
The queen wiped her tears and said, "Poor one, help her to rest in the side hall." also suffered her filial piety. ”
The crown princess was helped to the side hall.
In this way, Zhuang Zhao naturally appeared.
She had a sad face, and from time to time she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and she looked very sad.
But Mrs. Zhuang knew very well that there was no sadness in her daughter's eyes. The strength of the exercise is getting better and better......
Mrs. Zhuang also lowered her head and began to cry seriously.
In the middle, several ladies couldn't hold on to crying and fainted, and the queen also let people help them to the side hall.
Among them is Mrs. Dong.
As soon as Mrs. Dong arrived at the side hall, she wanted to see the crown princess, but she was blocked back.
"Niangniang is not able to meet guests now." The palace maid who was waiting beside the crown princess said expressionlessly.
Mrs. Dong glanced at her, "Who are you?" What about Ruyi? Didn't she serve by Mingzhu's side before? ”
The palace maid owed a debt and said, "Sister Ruyi has another high level." The slave maid is the new one who serves the mother, and the lady can call the slave and the maid Guizhi. ”
Mrs. Dong said impatiently: "I don't care what Guizhi you are or not, the crown princess is my daughter, and now she is like this, let me see what's wrong with her?" As he spoke, he was about to go inside.
Gui Zhi stretched out an arm in front of her, "Madam, please respect yourself. ”
