Yun Zheng entered the palace to report the results of the investigation to the emperor, and I was summoned into the palace by the queen mother. After passing through the imperial garden, I saw the lady concubine sitting by the water pavilion and watching the fish, I smiled and knelt down and saluted: "The concubine sees the lady concubine." ”

She didn't seem to see me, but just threw the fish into the pool gracefully with the fish in her eyes, her eyes fixed on the fish in the pool. The maid standing behind her glanced at me, and didn't seem to have any intention of reminding her master that I was saluting her. Concubine Shu didn't tell me to get up, so I couldn't stand up, so I had to continue to kneel on the ground. As the minutes ticked by, my knees tingled a little, but the concubine still sat with a pleasant face, looking intently at the pond, without even turning her head. I knew in my heart that she was doing it on purpose, deliberately manipulating me like this, making me kneel there and make me embarrassed. But why? I asked myself that in this palace, except for Concubine De who wanted my life, the relationship with the other concubines was not bad. When I entered the palace a few days ago, Concubine Shu also held my hand affectionately and shouted "sister, sister", what does it mean to give me such a dismount at this time?

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly understood. It was the emperor who jumped into the pool to save me, causing trouble, it seems that the rumors in this palace are really flying all over the sky, this lady must have heard the rumors, and she was dissatisfied with me, so she deliberately rectified me like this at this time. I smiled bitterly in my heart, this harem is really a place of right and wrong.

Hanging my head and not saying a word, I counted the sheep in my heart, there are so many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, I can always see this scene when I come and go, maybe I will report to the Queen Mother in the morning, I just wait for the Queen Mother to send someone. Sure enough, when I counted the four hundred and seventy-eight sheep, I heard the heavenly voice of Mama Fang Ting: "Slave and maid see Shufei Niangniang!" ”

Concubine Shu turned her head lightly and saw me kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "Oh, why is my sister kneeling here?" ”

I smiled: "The concubine entered the palace at the order of the Queen Mother, and saw the concubine Niangniang enjoying the fish here and giving the lady a gift." ”

"Sister, hurry up, why do we sisters need so much courtesy?" Concubine Shu stood up and stepped forward to help her, "Look at me, I watched the fish attentively, and I didn't notice that my sister was coming, so I really didn't want to go." ”

"Where did Niangniang say, it was the concubine who disturbed Niangniang Yaxing." I stood up with my waist on my back, my knees numb and I couldn't stand. Mama Fang Ting hurriedly supported me, her face was a little unsightly: "Mrs. Ronghua, the Queen Mother is waiting for you in a hurry, go to Yining Palace to coax her." ”

"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine retires." I saluted, gritted my teeth, and barely walked. Mama Fang Ting helped me out of the Imperial Garden and into the Queen Mother's Palace. The Queen Mother sat on the soft couch and saw me staggering in, so she hurriedly stopped me from saluting: "Okay Ye girl, sit down quickly." Fang Ting, let someone rub Ye'er's legs. ”

I sat down next to the Queen Mother, and Mama Fang Ting called a little palace maid to come and massage me. The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said to Mama Fangting: "Fangting, you send a message to the palaces, just say what I said, Mrs. Ronghua is pregnant, and her body is inconvenient, so you don't have to kneel when you see the ladies of the palaces in the future." ”

"Yes." Mama Fang Ting smiled and stepped back. I looked up at the Queen Mother and said apologetically: "Queen Mother, is this good?" Won't it break the rules of the palace? ”

"Rules?" The Queen Mother sneered and put down the teacup, "The rules are set by people." In this harem, who dares to mention the rules to me? ”

Well, there's no one in the harem bigger than you. So, am I a blessing in disguise? I smiled, just like that, wouldn't it make those bitchies even more unhappy? Something is secretly going on to make me feel even worse? The palace maid rubbed my legs for a long time, only to feel that the numbness of the knees had receded, and the legs were alive, and I smiled and said to the palace maid who rubbed my legs: "Okay, no need to rub it, it's no longer numb." ”

"I heard the emperor say that you were assassinated on the street a few days ago? Not scared, right? "When the queen mother saw the little palace maid retreating, she spoke lightly and looked at me with blazing eyes. I didn't know what she meant by this, so I smiled: "Yes, fortunately, it's okay, but the guard is seriously injured." ”

"You girl, the last time you enjoyed a fish in the palace, you fell into the water, and you were assassinated outside the palace, which is really a disaster." The Queen Mother smiled, as if she meant something. I said embarrassedly: "Yes, Niangniang, I don't know if Ye'er is unlucky or what, how can I be in trouble everywhere." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "You haven't been in the palace for a while, what are you doing this time?" The last time the emperor asked Yun Shizi to investigate, did you have eyebrows? ”

I knew that the Queen Mother was going to ask about the results, so I hurriedly told the Queen Mother what Yun Zheng and I found out and some speculations, and everything that was said was omitted, and the unspeakable ones were filtered one by one. When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows gradually frowned, and she didn't know what she was thinking. I saw that her face was cloudy, and I secretly wondered if she had guessed Concubine Feng's plan to kill three birds with one stone.

After a while, the Queen Mother's expression gradually calmed down, and then she said slowly: "In this world, there is such a strange stone?" Can a pregnant woman give birth to a teratosensor, make people age, and die without knowing it? Hongu has never seen it. ”

"The world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are no surprises." I laughed, of course, I didn't say the words of radiation to bluff the queen mother, only said that the stone was afraid that it contained unknown ingredients of poison, "The jade pillow is an ominous thing, and the concubines dare not bring it into the palace, everything is still to be decided by the emperor." ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded and said gently, "It's hard for you and Yun Shizi to investigate this unjust case so clearly." ”

"It is the duty of a courtier to share worries for the emperor and the queen mother." I said humbly, "The concubine and the grandson are fortunate to live up to the emperor's high expectations. ”

The Queen Mother stroked the teacup and looked at me quietly, and the corners of her lips pursed a light smile of unknown meaning: "You girl, smart and clever, well-behaved and caring, and you know a lot of new things. ”

I always felt that her praise was like something in her words, and I didn't dare to talk casually, so I had to laugh with her. The Queen Mother used the lid of the teacup to pluck the tea leaves floating on the water, and said as if unintentionally: "Ye girl, you and the emperor have known each other before?" ”

My smile froze. The Queen Mother asked this, it was not a casual question, and her heart suddenly became worried, and the Queen Mother saw that I didn't answer for a long time, and said lightly: "Tell me the truth, girl." ”

I took a breath, knowing that I couldn't hide it, and nodded, "Yes." ”

"How did you meet?" The Queen Mother put the lid of the teacup back on the teacup and said softly. Her tone was gentle, but I felt an inexplicable pressure, like someone choking my neck, and I couldn't breathe. I bit my lip, almost bit my lower lip, raised my eyes and saw the Queen Mother looking at me fixedly, took a breath, and said indifferently: "The concubine was born in the Qinglou, the emperor ......, and was once the concubine's benefactor." ”

"Beneze?" The Queen Mother's fingers were circled on the lid of the teacup, and her face changed without hearing that I was born in a Qinglou, thinking that she already knew my experience, "That's how you think of the emperor?" ”

"When I was in Qinglou, I looked at it like this, and the concubine didn't know that he was the emperor at that time." I bit my lip and told the queen mother about my past with the emperor, only to feel extremely embarrassed.

"Then what do you think of the emperor now?" The Queen Mother looked at my expression, gentle and soft, but there was an irresistible blade. I raised my eyes to look at her and said cautiously: "Now, the emperor is the emperor of the country, and the concubines are his subjects. ”

"Yes, the emperor is Mingjun, and you are a subject." The Queen Mother's hand was taken off the lid of the teacup, clasped it on her thigh, and said softly: "Girl, remember what you said today, no matter how you looked at the emperor before, remember that he is now Mingjun, and you are a courtier's wife." There are some things that you don't have to remember all the time, you should forget what you should forget, and don't catch what you should let go. ”

"The concubine understands." My face was calm, but my heart was on fire. My affection and admiration for Yu Gongzi have long been in the past, and I have no thoughts about the emperor at all. It seems that the rumors in the palace have spread very hard, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have specially sent me an edict, just to warn me to be self-respecting, remember my identity, and not to have anything to do with the emperor, which will damage his reputation as a king. God be merciful, did I do these things?

"Okay, you're pregnant, go back and rest early." The Queen Mother's purpose was achieved, and it would be embarrassing to keep me down, so she sent me back, "Fang Ting, you accompany Mrs. Ronghua out, remember to send her to the car, and wait carefully on the road." Ruyi, you go to the emperor to inform Yun Shizi that Mrs. Ronghua is back. Save him a while to come over and run for nothing. ”

Mama Fang Ting accompanied me out, with the experience of the Queen Mother, she must have already seen that my overboard incident was not simple, so she asked Mama Fang Ting to send me to the palace gate, saving me from having another accident on the road. The queen mother can think of it, the emperor can't think of it, as long as this matter can attract their attention, Concubine De has their own hearts. I heard that Concubine De was grounded by the emperor, I don't know if it's because of the Ouchi guards. Today, Yun Zheng closed the case confessed by the emperor and submitted it, I believe that after the emperor verifies it, he will soon take action against Wei Xiang, and as soon as Wei Xiang falls, what else does Concubine De have to rely on?

Walking out of Yining Palace, Mama Fang Ting suddenly whispered to me: "Mrs. Ronghua, thank you." ”

"What?" I came back to my senses and said in a daze.

"The slave and maid are the virtuous concubines, thank you, madam, and return the innocence of the mother's family." Tears welled up in Mama Fangting's eyes. I hurriedly said: "Mama Fangting, don't say that, my grandson and I are just doing what the emperor wills, and the people you want to thank are the queen mother and the emperor." ”

Mama Fang Ting wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "Madam, the slave knows in her heart, you are welcome." ”

I smiled, did I return the innocence of Concubine Murong's family? And how? Everyone is dead, the world knows, at most sigh, what else? However, ......, my eyes suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, which were as bright as stars, but with cold and frosty eyes. Chu Yan, no matter what the reason for investigating this case, he has finally cleared the grievances of your whole family, I hope you will no longer be tortured by hatred under the spring, rest in peace as soon as possible, and ...... in the next life, may you no longer have such a tragic fate.
