106. Chapter 104

Xiao Mengru?

She slowly put down the makeup pen clamped to her fingertips, she couldn't see the slightest panic in her expression, she calmly stared at the screen door behind her reflected in the bronze mirror, the jade curtain swayed, and the sound of shaking and breaking from far to near knocked on people's hearts. The queen's phoenix crown and gorgeous long skirt appeared outside the door, and the two palace maids behind bent down to hold the edge of her skirt and walked with the queen's lotus steps.

"The concubine came to see the queen." Shen Zhuangzhao saluted her respectfully for the first time.

"Get up." The Queen's voice sounded hoarse.

This made Shen Zhuangzhao couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, this morning the queen said that she was sick and refused to ask the concubines for peace, so she hadn't seen her yet, and when she heard her tone was different from before, she was a little more curious. It turned out that the queen not only had a low voice, but even her face was haggard, and her sharpness was greatly reduced.

Shen Zhuang Zhao was surprised, she first waved away all the palace people in the room, and then asked, "How can the queen think of the concubine's Chengqian Palace today?" ”

The queen didn't look at the furnishings next to the house, but only at her, "There is something in this palace that I want to discuss with the concubine." ”

Negotiate? Shen Zhuangzhao scoffed, but she still had a smile on her face, "Why did the queen come?" ”

"Your sister has been favored by the monarch since she entered the palace."

"The second sister of the concubine has been weak and easy to be loved since she was a child, this is normal."

"This palace is not a person who hides a sentence and hides a person who doesn't speak out until the end, your sister has recently received more favor and power than ordinary concubines, and if it goes on like this, the matter of sealing the concubine will be in the bag sooner or later."

"The second sister of the concubine can only be a concubine forever, the queen mother doesn't need to worry too much, the Shen family knows where she is."

"Since this palace is already like this, I hope that the concubine will not go around in circles."

"What does the Queen want to hear?"

"Once he is pregnant with an heir, how can the Sixth Palace have room to wait? This palace heard that you and her mansion have been at odds since childhood, your biological mother hates her, and she also hates her mother Ruan, she is unwilling to grow up in the Shen Mansion, and deliberately promoted you because she was unable to be a concubine, and there are many contradictions between the emperor and the queen mother, and finally broke out on the concubine, and you became a victim, and then she lured the emperor to order him to take herself into the palace, and since then she has begun her road to seek power - don't you feel afraid? ”

Shen Zhuangzhao took a deep breath, and every word of the queen poked at all her fears, "Afraid? How can a concubine not be afraid? But what's the use of being afraid, at least the concubine's father is also her father, no matter how much she hates the concubine, it won't hurt the Shen family, but you...... You're the one who is most likely to hurt me! ”

The queen smiled coldly when she heard this, she walked towards Shen Zhuangzhao, the red dress on the ground was like a demon lotus blooming on the ground, and in the empty room, she only heard the clear sound of the queen approaching her. "If I fall, will you be far away?" Her clear voice appeared in front of Shen Zhuangzhao, accompanied by the fragrance of beauty on her body, and the fragrance was around her nose.

Shen Zhuangzhao felt that he was surrounded by the queen in an all-round way, and panic struck, but this panic obviously did not belong to being afraid to face her directly, but another instinctive evasion, and she felt incomprehensible about her appearance. The queen looked deeply at the subtle changes in her eyes, and saw it at a glance, so her lips raised slightly, "Concubine Yuan, think about it, your biological father is her biological father, and your biological mother is not her biological mother." When she becomes more and more powerful, even the Queen Mother is afraid of her, are you in the harem - can you still live? ”

Shen Zhuangzhao bit her lip and said nothing, she knew that she was not wrong, when the second sister was lifted to a high position by the queen mother and the emperor one day, she would not want to turn over in the future. Her revenge has just begun, and she doesn't want it to end.

"Is the queen trying to provoke the concubine to turn against her sister?" She mocked slightly, although there was no need to provoke, she and Shen Shuzhao couldn't get along.

"Concubine Yuan, don't blame this palace, this palace is just kindly reminding you, don't take the wrong next step." The queen stared at the girl in front of her, "Since she entered the palace, your fate and mine have been linked. She snatched the emperor and the queen mother, and is slowly taking away your qiē. You hate her, and this palace also hates it, before she gains power, why don't you strangle her here together with this palace, how about it? ”

"What does the concubine believe in you?" Shen Zhuangzhao looked directly at the queen without fear, she raised her head, and the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger's girl's style. The queen who had lived in the deep palace for a long time saw her like this, so she suddenly smiled, without any derogatory meaning, Shen Shuzhao couldn't understand what the arc of the other party's lips quickly faded meant, and then the queen replied to her: "Compared with your second sister, this palace seems to be more credible." ”

"What does the queen say?"

"On that day, when the blood qin incident happened, everyone fled backwards, and no one dared to stay in the concubine banquet...... Except for you. The queen half-closed her eyes and looked at the panic on Shen Zhuangzhao's face, "In order to protect the thoughtfulness of the concubines, this palace stood directly in front of you and blocked the unclean things in front of you for you. ”

Shen Zhuangzhao felt nervous, as long as someone mentioned the blood qin, she would be like this, remembering that there seemed to be such a thing as the queen mentioning, and even then she wondered why the queen would come. And the reason why she was stunned was because her mother's plan suddenly happened to Gu Concubine, and she was still in a stunned state and couldn't react.

"When Bengong didn't have a conflict with you, he treated you like this, where was your second sister then?" The queen's voice sounded tactful and good, and she returned to her former aura, which was not to be questioned lightly. Shen Zhuangzhao not only felt the restraint brought by the oppression on the queen's body, but also the beauty of the woman's strong rouge fragrance. Half cold, half burning, double feeling lingers in my heart.

She can't get too close to her!

Shen Zhuangzhao quietly moved a few steps back, and the queen continued: "Until Concubine Shen falls, this palace will not do anything to you. Concubine Yuan, I hope you can think more about yourself and your biological mother, only one prophecy came out of the matter of the blood qin, which led several people to frame it, and now it has become a suspicious case, and it can no longer be investigated. The harem is dangerous, you have no power and power, how can you protect your people? In the past few days, the main palace will always be in the Jiaofang Palace...... We await your arrival. ”

"What if the concubine doesn't go?"

"It's a shame not to go." The queen lowered her body slightly, her fingers picked up Shen Zhuangzhao's soft jaw, "You have a face that is unparalleled in the world, and you have not experienced the wind and rain, and you are about to disappear silently in the deep palace." ”

When Shen Zhuangzhao heard her words, not only did he not get angry but became proud, "I am grateful to the queen for recognizing the beauty of the concubine so much, it's just ...... Isn't Niangniang afraid that the concubine will take away the emperor's favor one day? ”

She felt the empress raise her fingers stiffened, and then the empress calmly withdrew her hand, "Even if a hundred or a thousand of you appear in the future, this palace is still the mother of a country, and the only eldest daughter of the Xiao family who shoulders a heavy responsibility, and this palace will never fall." ”

"But here, except for the royal family, nothing is unfalling." Shen Zhuangzhao showed a self-deprecating sad smile, "Our life and death are only in the emperor's thoughts, he took pity on Concubine Gu yesterday, and he can abandon it today; He pitied Concubine Shen today, and it is unknown that he will destroy what she has tomorrow. ”

“…… This palace gives you time to consider, and you can go to the Jiaofang Hall at any time. "The queen didn't answer her words, or it was too difficult to answer - who can say clearly about the king's heart? In the end, she left only this sentence and left. The fluctuations caused by the sudden visit of the queen returned to calm in the Chengqian Palace.

Shen Zhuangzhao pondered every word of the queen in the middle of the night.

The moonlight was pale, reflected on her outstretched bony five fingers, and she thought about it a lot. The carefree memories of my childhood in the Shen Mansion surfaced in front of me, I saw my brother playing with her, I saw my mother listening to their voices and smiling and sitting on the stone bench of the flower garden weaving embroidered handkerchiefs......

Gu Concubine's matter really became a mystery as the queen said. The whole world believed that the prophecy of Qin Tianjian was true, and soon Gu's father resigned from his position, and because of what happened to his daughter in the harem, he completely withdrew from the court. After the emperor repeatedly retained him, to no avail, he had to let him leave Beijing. This time, there was no one to see him off, there was no farewell banquet, only the emperor, with the personal eunuch Wei Men and others in civilian clothes, came to the outskirts of the capital, and then personally sent him into the carriage.

"I will take care of Ling'er." The emperor said solemnly.

Gu's father, who had been white-headed all night, sighed, he kowtowed deeply to the young son of heaven a few times, and then got up with the help of Gu's mother, who was full of exhaustion in his eyes, and got into the car tremblingly. The carriage rushed into the distance, leaving only a few of Gu Concubine's brothers in the capital who were still in office, but the pressure given to them by the people around them did not know if they would resign if they could not bear it one day. In order to save Concubine Gu's life, Father Gu chose to leave. The emperor watched for a long time as the carriage turned into a small dot among the green hills, until it disappeared completely, and the emperor's steps did not move.

Wei Men said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go." ”

The emperor didn't move, he still watched.

"Your Majesty, even if you pity them, you can't have children, the prophecy and the matter of the blood qin are too terrifying, even if the people learn that it is a conspiracy of the palace, they will not believe it, it is better to take care of Gu Concubine and her brother from today on."

"I don't just have mercy, but I actually ...... I envy this feeling. ”

"Huh?"

"For the sake of his daughter, he was willing to resign from his position and leave the capital, just to keep her, this father's love is deep and strong."

"It's a pity, the people behind it may have been sure that Lord Gu would not abandon his children at will, so he dared to do this. If he had been a lover, he would have denied this daughter and crossed her name out of the family tree, but he didn't, and the love of parents for their children is really lamentable. ”

The emperor's eyebrows moved slightly, and his words seemed to be hidden in the wind blowing...... "That's why I envy it." ”

After the farewell, the figure of the emperor and others also disappeared. Gu's father was forced to leave Beijing The matter is over, and Gu Concubine is only over because of the torture of the prophecy, anyway, the father who is a big official has already left, and a little concubine who has lost power is no longer worthy of attention, and the person behind it only needs to wait for another day to secretly murder him and succeed. In order to prevent this, the emperor also strictly sent people to protect Liquan Palace, and Tao Cainu was forced to transfer to other palaces.

The palace maid sent by the emperor fed Gu Concubine with decoction on time, and gradually, her body also improved.

It was about the same time that she was getting better.

Shen Zhuangzhao finally decided to go to the Jiaofang Palace.
