"Resist death?" The Empress Dowager Jade stood up and was furious, "What a waste!" ”

In front of the queen's henchmen, the Empress Dowager Jade insulted like this, but everyone present just pretended not to hear it. Don't say it's behind someone's back, even if the queen is in front of her, she can scold as much as she wants.

This is obvious, Queen Xu has no choice but to take Concubine Xiao, so she came to move the rescue soldier of the Empress Dowager Yu. The Empress Dowager Jade shook her head again and again, and said angrily: "Didn't you bring the palace maid who complained?" ”

"But the Nine Emperors are not in Yikun Palace, and their words are unfounded, so they can't be questioned." The queen's henchman Xu Mama knelt on the ground and helplessly defended her master, "Concubine Xiao said eloquently again, insisting that she gave birth to the Nine Emperor Sons that year. The palace maid named Lancao gave birth to a child, but both mother and son died. ”

Princess Xin hurriedly asked, "Where did the Nine Emperor Princes go?" It's not that you're sick, why aren't you in the palace? ”

Mama Xu replied: "Concubine Xiao said that the Nine Emperors might be infected with the epidemic, and after passing the emperor, she moved the Nine Emperors to recuperate outside the palace. Because this is not a good thing, it was not publicized, and it was quietly sent out of the palace. ”

The Empress Dowager Jade had a gloomy face, knowing that if she forcibly let the Nine Emperor Princes return to the palace, it would not be impossible, but she might be burdened with the black cauldron of "letting the epidemic spread in the palace".

She thought about it for a while, and immediately decided: "This matter can't be delayed, if it is delayed, the slut will definitely have a follow-up." Go, just say the will of the mourning family, let the queen send someone out of the palace to investigate the illness of the Nine Emperors, and be sure to get the handwritten letter of the Nine Emperors. Didn't the palace maid say that the Nine Emperors themselves knew his background. ”

She laughed gloomily: "He is now infected with the epidemic and has no time to return to the palace." The Xiao family has lost power, and he is not his own mother, how can he really plan for him? If he was wise, he should know what to do best. ”

Princess Xin hurriedly patted her ass: "It's still the queen mother's unparalleled wisdom, let the Nine Emperors admit it themselves, and it's useless for Ren Xiao to be cunning!" ”

Liu De'an, the chief eunuch of Fushou Palace, accompanied Mama Xu to leave, but on the way, he met Zong Zhengke, the princess of Qin, and Zong Zhengyi, the concubine of Hui. Looking at the direction, these two people are also heading to Yikun Palace.

Hui Concubine's grace is not shallow or light. Because of her status as a noble daughter of a family of Zongzheng, although she entered the palace late, her position was not low. She is full of books and pride. Neither offend people casually, nor swallow their anger and be bullied.

Now there are several hills in the palace, and the concubines have no one to rely on, and they often come and go with those neutral little palace concubines and concubines, but they are also quiet. So. Now that Concubine Xiao is falling out of favor, Concubine Hui will actually come to the door, which is really a bit unexpected.

Two groups of people collided at the door of Yikun Palace. Hui Concubine didn't expect the queen's Luan to be here, and when she saw the chief eunuch of Fushou Palace, she was a little at a loss. She was only sixteen years old, but she was still a child. Trembling and living in the palace, she really doesn't want to offend these bigwigs.

Moreover, it was not her intention to come to Yikun Palace. So looking at the cousin next to her, who was extraordinary, Concubine Hui asked quietly, "Sister Ke." Do you want to go in? ”

Zong Zhengke didn't seem to see the queen Luan and the large number of palace guards guarding outside the Yikun Palace, and even regarded Liu Dean and Mama Xu as nothing, nodded and said, "Naturally." I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes have been slightly ill since they left my palace, and since I have arrived at the palace, I should come and investigate. ”

"How?" Zong Zhengke glanced at Liu Dean and Mama Xu, and asked lightly, "Concubine Xiao is grounded, and the Nine Emperor Princes are also banned from visiting?" Do you need the main hall to ask the emperor for an order? ”

Hui Concubine knew that these words were for Liu Dean and Mama Xu. After the two of them saw each other, they didn't dare to take a step. Just waiting there. After all, the identity of the third daughter of Zongzheng is still more or less powerful.

Liu Dean and Zong Zhengke looked at each other coldly, and they were cold all over their bodies in an instant. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly laughed: "Your Royal Highness, what you said is true." However, the Nine Emperor Princes are not in the palace. Concubine Xiao was worried that he was infected with the epidemic, so she removed him from the palace to recuperate. ”

"Oh? In this way, the Nine Emperor Princes are not lightly ill? Zong Zhengke frowned and muttered, "It's weird, no one in my family is sick." That shouldn't have anything to do with my family. So, what about the Four Princes? ”

Liu Dean was stunned, tried to think about it, and seemed to see the figure of the fourth prince appear on the imperial city tower today. He hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, the four princes are fine." ”

"That's good!" Zong Zhengke said seriously, "But from the perspective of this palace, it is best to ask the imperial doctor to check the body of the fourth prince in order to be safe." ”

Liu Dean nodded yes again and again, and asked cautiously: "Your Royal Highness the Lady of the World, are you now?" ”

Zong Zhengke said in a gentle voice: "Since you have arrived at the door, there is no reason to turn around and leave. On the same day, the Nine Emperors and the Four Princes went to the main hall to celebrate their birthdays, and Concubine Xiao also had a congratulatory gift. The main hall wanted to go in to thank Concubine Xiao, and comfort her a few words by the way. Gonggong Liu, do you need to ask the emperor for a decree or a decree from the queen mother? ”

Liu De'an's mouth was bitter, not long ago, Gonggong Luo instructed him that if he saw the third girl of Zongzheng, he could pass on the Empress Dowager's decree and invite her to Fushou Palace to sit down. Obviously, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to release her goodwill, which was to resolve the previous impeachment of Zongzheng Shangshu by Prince Yuchuan with the three girls of Zongzheng or the Zongzheng family.

Therefore, at this time, Zong Zhengke proposed to visit Concubine Xiao, and Liu Dean never dared to refuse. He could only smile and say: "Her Royal Highness really knows etiquette and etiquette, Concubine Xiao is just grounded, and no one is forbidden to visit." Besides, although you are a noble daughter of a Zongzheng family, you are also a guest of the country, even if there is a ban, you can make an exception. ”

These words are better spoken than sung. Zong Zhengke nodded with a smile and said to the concubine beside him: "Cousin, you can also go in together." ”

Concubine Hui stared at the strange cousin and nodded slowly. In fact, since Concubine Xiao interceded for her father Zongzheng Shangshu, she expected such a day, and she was already prepared in her heart.

Mama Xu had already gone in to say goodbye, and Liu Dean nodded and asked Sister Zong Zhengke to go in. It didn't take long for Zong Zhengke to hear the sound of the ring. After a while, Queen Xu, Concubine Xiao and all the concubines came out.

This third girl of Zongzheng really can't be taken lightly. When she was wearing the princess of Qin, she was no longer a child of the little Tianxing Kingdom, but a nobleman of a big country.

If Tianxingguo is a subject country of the Jokhang Empire, ranking according to national strength, the emperor of Tianxingguo is at most the first level of the county king, and he is equal to the princess of the country.

Therefore, Queen Xu was quite humble, although she did not salute, but Lao Yuan greeted her first: "Her Royal Highness the World Lady is here, and it is really rude to miss the welcome." ”

The rest of the concubines did not dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly performed the blessing ceremony. There is only Concubine Xiao, who is still standing proudly and has never been polite. (To be continued.) )
