dawn

"Your Majesty, it's time for the court." Li Changhai stood in front of the hall and said.

Emperor Yuan raised his fingers and motioned to Li Changhai to whisper, lest he wake up the person next to the pillow, and when he turned his eyes to see the sleeping Yiren, he kissed him lightly in front of his forehead, and then carefully got up and left.

When Fu Qizheng woke up, it was already dawn, he sat up, pulled over the brocade to cover his body, and shouted softly: "Someone." ”

When the palace maids heard this, they came in and served Fu Qizheng to dress and dress, and at this time, two eunuchs from the inner palace came, and carefully folded the white silk with Yuan red on the bed and put it on the plate and took it away.

The palace maid was curling Fu Qizheng's hair, and Fu Qizheng glanced back.

The palace maid smiled and said: "Don't worry, concubine, this rumor should be self-defeating." ”

Fu Qizheng looked at her in a daze, remembering Concubine Zhen's words yesterday, she didn't think so, but now she was uneasy.

It was nearly noon when I returned to Jingyi Palace, Liu Yi stood in the door with a number of palace maids who were young, Fu Qizheng stepped into the door, just walked a few steps, and was puzzled, but heard a voice behind him shouting: "The holy decree has arrived, and Ronghua Fu has received the decree." Li Changhai held the holy decree in his hand and stood in front of the door with a few eunuchs.

Fu Qizheng hurriedly turned around and accepted the order.

"The emperor has a decree, Ayarong Hua Fu's family, Xiu Yuhua Gate, soft and prudent in purity, gentle and respectful, promoted to Aya's concubine, moved to the main hall of Jingyi Palace, admired."

"Mother, take the order."

Fu Qizheng was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and kowtowed happily: "The concubine accepts the order, thank the emperor for his grace." He received the decree and slowly got up.

Liu Yi led all the servants and knelt down again: "See Concubine Niangniang." ”

"Get up." Fu Qizheng said, looking back at the majestic palace facing the Jingyi Gate, he was shocked when he saw it that day, and then passed by every day, the palace door was tightly covered, and he never saw his true face, and now it belongs to himself.

"Congratulations to Concubine Niangniang, the main hall of this Jingyi Palace is the best in several palaces, and other ladies can't look forward to it, now it's Niangniang's, this palace has eight maids, two internal supervisors and these things are all rewarded by the emperor." Li Changhai arched his hand.

Fu Qizheng said: "Gong Lao thanked the emperor on behalf of his ministers and concubines." ”

"This is the blessing of the mother, these minions are all selected by the minions, the heart is clean, the mother can rest assured." Li Changhai said with a smile, and left after passing the will.

Fu Qizheng looked at the plaque of the Jingyi Palace, slowly walked up the steps, and the two maids hurriedly stepped forward and stood on both sides of the palace door to push open the palace door.

The luxury of this palace is really incomparable to the Zhaoxuan Palace, and even the main hall of Wanfu Palace of Hua Guifei is much inferior to it. Fu Qizheng looked around, the hall had already been arranged, Xu was they already aware of it, just waiting to surprise Fu Qizheng.

Liu Yi said on the side: "The slaves and maids cleaned up all night, and waited for the mother to return to the palace." Holding Fu Qizheng to sit in the upper seat of the hall, Fu Qizheng smiled and said, "Reward." ”

"Xie Niangniang." All the palace ladies are grateful.

Although there are many maids in the new palace now, Fu Qizheng is still worried about Qingchu and Yufei, and said to Liu Yi: "Go with the palace to see Qingchu." ”

Qiao Yanyi was gossiping with Qingchu in the room, and saw Fu Qizheng come in and hurriedly salute: "See Niangniang." ”

"The master is finally ......" Qing Chu was also happy.

Fu Qizheng smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered comfortingly: "Take care of your injuries, the position of the female official in charge of Jingyi Palace will be reserved for you in this palace." ”

When Qing Chu heard this, he suddenly became warm.

Fu Qizheng asked Qiao Yanyi again: "Did the imperial doctor come to see it yesterday?" ”

Qiao Yanyi lowered her eyes and said helplessly: "The slave maid went to invite, but when the hospital heard that it was a palace maid or a Zhaoxuan Palace, it was not available." ”

Fu Qizheng glanced sideways and ordered: "Liu Yi, go and ask again." ”

"Yes." Liu Yi took the order and went out.

Qingchu said: "If Yufei knows, how happy should I be, I can see Yufei when I come back?" ”

Fu Qizheng shook his head lightly: "I am afraid that the criminal department is the queen's person inside and outside, how can he let this palace be happy." "If it weren't for Yufei who recognized everything, how could she get out, and how could she stay in Jingyi Palace, although Emperor Yuan said that he wanted to show snow for Yufei, but it was not a way to wait like this after all.

When he returned to the palace, he thought silently, although he was promoted, his situation had not changed, he was still a friend, an enemy was an enemy, and he couldn't start if he wanted to inquire about Yufei's news. If Du Xirui is not found for a day, she will not be at ease for a day, where will she hide or be hidden, and there is an unknown Chen Xihan, who already has a headache.

"Niangniang, Xian Ronghua is here." Gong Wan said.

Fu Qizheng came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Please." ”

He Youzhu walked into the hall and smiled: "I've seen Concubine Niangniang." ”

Fu Qizheng hurriedly stepped forward to help He Youzhu: "Youzhu is separated from me, you and I still need to see each other like this, come, sit down." He Youzhu was pulled and sat on the seat next to the hall.

Fu Qizheng smiled again and said: "I haven't had time to thank Youzhu yet, if you hadn't interceded for Qingchu, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago." ”

He Youzhu sighed slightly: "The Queen Mother was angry that day, and she would never be spared, but human life is at stake, Qingchu is really pitiful, I really can't stand it, fortunately, the Queen Mother is willing to listen to me, and I can only help here." ”

Fu Qizheng knew that the Queen Mother was now the time to envelop the minister, although the King of Zhennan was in Lingnan, he had the power of the army, and if he could win over, it would naturally be a good thing, so He Youzhu's words did have weight in front of the Queen Mother. He Youzhu was originally a person who had no quarrel with the world, but Fu Qizheng had no intention of pulling her into troubled waters, and said lightly: "I am grateful that you can help me with this, and I don't dare to bother more." ”

"Today, I heard that you were promoted, and I came to congratulate you, this is a little bit of my heart." He Youzhu glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid presented a gorse hairpin.

Fu Qizheng motioned to the maid to take it, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Youzhu." ”

"When you're bored, you might as well dress up, and wear this step shake to add a bit of luxury, maybe it will be more comfortable." He Youzhu said.

He Youzhu didn't stay long, sat down for a while and left. I took the gorse hairpin and looked at it for a long time, and the courtesy was still exchanged, and I instructed the maidservant: "Go back and pick two good hostas and send them to Xian Ronghua." ”

"Mother." Liu Yi entered in a panic, "On the way to ask the imperial doctor, someone handed the slave a note. ”

Fu Qizheng took a look, and immediately frowned, his face turned pale, he got up and walked out of the hall quickly, and Liu Yi followed quickly.

"Who gave you that note?" Fu Qizheng asked as he walked.

Liu Yi replied: "It's a strange eunuch, and I don't know which palace it is." ”

I have been looking forward to the news of Yufei, but now it is not easy to know, but it is a bolt from the sky.

Liu Yi hurriedly followed all the way: "Maybe that note is just alarmist and scares Niangniang, or someone deliberately leads Niangniang to the Criminal Division, if Niangniang forcibly breaks into the Criminal Division, I am afraid that the queen will be convicted again." ”

"This palace is already a thorn in the queen's side, so what's the crime, whether it's true or not, this palace must see Yufei today." Fu Qizheng said resolutely.

rushed into the criminal division, and Wang Quan came out to stop him again: "Concubine Niangniang, you can't go in." ”

Fu Qizheng said angrily: "Get out of the way, the palace will see Yufei no matter what today, if you want to sue, just sue the queen." ”

At this time, a mother-in-law came out and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Wang, I'm afraid that the maid is dying." ”

Fu Qizheng was stunned, and comforted herself in her heart, she must not be Yufei.

Wang Quan glanced at the mother-in-law and reprimanded in a low voice: "Bastard, I didn't see the concubine here, what nonsense." He looked at Fu Qizheng again and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Yufei is very good." ”

"Fuck off." Fu Qizheng raised his hand to open Wang Quan, and the other eunuchs wanted to come up to stop but didn't dare to stop it, Fu Qizheng pressed forward step by step, and finally entered the women's prison.

A mother-in-law's voice came from behind the wall: "You remember, the last brand was given by Yin Niangniang, and this brand was rewarded by Shu Jieyu, I see that you can't afford more, fortunately, this is the end of the matter, otherwise you will be angry if I don't finish this errand, so how can I explain to your lords." ”

Then there was a burst of screams and wails, Fu Qizheng pushed the door open, and was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of him, almost fainting, the bloody body hung in the room, the clothes were tattered and soaked with blood, and even the ground was mottled with dripping blood, unrecognizable, but the eyes were only two scars, and a gap was cut raw. The prison lady was holding the finished soldering iron and wanted to put it back in the charcoal basin, and when she turned around, she saw Fu Qizheng in front of the door, and hurriedly came up to say goodbye: "I've seen Niangniang, why did Niangniang come here." ”

Obviously, this prison woman didn't know Fu Qizheng, and she only saw from Fu Qizheng's dress that her status was not low, so she came to salute.

Fu Qizheng was stunned, pointed to the bloody man who was hanging on the beam with his hands tied, and said in a daze: "This palace asks you, who is she?" ”

"This is Aya Ronghua's palace maid, named Yufei, but the mother also has a festival with Aya Ronghua? The slave must have vented her anger for the mother. ”

Fu Qizheng was terrified, and at first he was secretly praying that the person was not Yufei, but he still didn't fulfill his wishes, and the more he was afraid of something, the more he was afraid.

Wang Quan chased after him and said: "Bold, this is Concubine Niangniang, how can you let Niangniang see this scene, and deal with it quickly, it will be so frightened that the Niangniang family can't spare you." He hurriedly whispered to the little eunuch beside him, "Go and inform the queen mother quickly." ”

The woman was also frightened, and together with other eunuchs, she loosened Yufei and wanted to carry her away.

Fu Qizheng was frightened, his expression was wooden, and his voice trembled: "Put it down." ”

"Carry it away." Wang Quan said busily.

"This palace will let you put it down!" Fu Qizheng was hoarse.

The mother-in-law had no choice but to do so and put Yufei on the ground.

Yufei lay on the ground and seemed to be conscious, raising her bloody hand slightly, and squeaked weakly.

Fu Qizheng immediately rushed to Yufei's side, her heart was like a knife, tears came out of her eyes, and she held her hand tightly: "Yufei, my sister is here, my sister is late." ”

Yufei is still squeaking, and when he opens his mouth, there is still a thin stream of blood oozing from his mouth, Fu Qizheng stretched out his head in confusion to see, it was even more creepy, his mouth was red, and his tongue had been stripped off a large part, leaving only a small piece of flesh and blood at the base of his tongue.

Fu Qizheng suddenly sat on the ground, with his back to everything outside the door, after sitting silently for a long time, he had no fear, picked up Yufei and lay in his arms, wiped away his tears, brushed her messy hair, held her hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid of Yufei, my sister will take you back to the palace and give you all the delicious food, you can have as many jade cakes as you want, as long as you get better." ”

Yufei was no longer able to speak, a tear flowed from her eyes, Fu Qizheng knew that she heard it, and smiled: "If you know, take a good rest, I will accompany you and accompany you to get better." ”

"Niangniang, the emperor is here." Liu Yi said.

"Qizheng." Emperor Yuan called, standing in front of the door, his brows furrowed.

Another voice shouted: "The queen mother has arrived." ”

Then the queen came sharply: "Fu Qizheng, you ......" The queen rushed in angrily, and when she saw Emperor Yuan's face was green, she had to quickly stop her mouth and stand behind Emperor Yuan to watch the scene in the torture room.

Fu Qizheng ignored it completely, still holding Concubine Yu, sitting quietly with his back to everyone, watching Yufei being tortured like this, he was grief-stricken: "It's me who is sorry for you, it's me who has burdened you, if you didn't come to Zhaoxuan Palace, why did you attract inhuman torture." ”

Emperor Yuan finally couldn't help it, and slowly walked in to find out, and the tragic situation in front of him was shocking for a moment, and he turned around and asked sharply: "What's going on." ”

"Your Majesty, since this servant has confessed her guilt, she naturally has to use some punishment." The queen said lightly.

"Why don't you come at me?" Fu Qizheng shouted heartbreakingly. The queen reprimanded: "Concubine, the emperor is here, you must not be presumptuous."

Yu Fei's hand suddenly slipped out of her palm, Fu Qizheng was stunned, and shook her gently: "Yu Fei." But there was no response. Stretched out his hand to probe his nose, withdrew in shock, tears fell like beads, slightly bowed, and said softly, "Sleep, sleep and be liberated, no longer need to be bullied, sleep well, you must remember not to meet Fu Qizheng again in the next life." After speaking, he gently put Yufei on the ground and stood up, and the splendid dress was already stained with mottled blood. Slowly turned around and glanced at Emperor Yuan, his eyes were resentful and cold, "This is what the emperor called keeping her safe?" ”

"I'm ...... too"

Before Emperor Yuan finished speaking, Fu Qizheng staggered out of the torture room, completely ignoring everyone's gaze.

"Concubine Aya, you look like you have the appearance of the lord of the first palace." The queen was furious.

Fu Qizheng didn't care at all, her honor today, today's gorgeous clothes, had already condensed the blood and tears of Yufei, but now it was just obvious. Step by step, like a walking corpse, gradually crumbling, suddenly the body fell as lightly as a leaf......
