In Yikun Palace, Pang Bao has been kneeling for a long time, but even if his knees are numb, he doesn't dare to move.

The sun was shining, but Pang Bao's heart was like putting ice cubes, and he was really terrified. I was even more scared than being arrested and interrogated by Li Yongzhen of Dongchang that day.

Not far away, Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy, stood under a tree, although he was not punished to kneel like Pang Bao, but he stayed there with the same colorless face.

From time to time, I looked into the hall, and I was terrified, and I was afraid that a few people would suddenly come and say that he would be killed by the order of Niang Niangyi.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, all blame Pang Bao for being too stupid, and actually sent his cousin to the East Palace to beat Wang An to vent his anger for him!

He didn't use his mind to think about it, is the East Palace the place where people can break into it casually!

It's okay now, make a big case of assassinating the prince, and almost kill the concubine Niangniang, this Pang Bao is not too much to kill 10,000 times.

Fortunately, this case has now become a headless case, Zhang Cha's guy didn't confess Pang Bao, and the emperor and the prince don't seem to want to investigate deeply, otherwise how could he Cui Gonggong stand in the concubine Niangniang, and he will be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department waiting to be killed!

In the hall, the concubine was talking to the personal maid Purple Girl.

"Your Majesty really said that?"

The concubine Niangniang was holding a moon flower that the purple girl had just folded for her, and it smelled quite fragrant.

"Wang Tiqian is a Shangshan supervisor promoted by his mother, and he is reliable."

Zheng Zi is the Shang Palace next to the concubine, mainly in charge of the Niangniang's diet, so she has a lot of dealings with the Shang Diet Supervisor on weekdays, and she has a good impression of Wang Tiqian. The words that the emperor said at the court meeting today were secretly handed over by Wang Tiqian to Yikun Palace.

"The eldest son is extremely filial, the eldest grandson is smart, hmph, are his other children and grandchildren all unfilial stupid, or are the children raised in this palace not as good as Concubine Gong!"

The concubine Niangniang threw Yueji on the ground, looking both aggrieved and angry.

"Niangniang, the country has been decided, and Your Majesty said this for the sake of the country and the society and to appease people's hearts, otherwise it will not be good for Niangniang to gossip outside." Zheng Zi said with relief.

"They are saying that God is heaven, and this palace also has a clear conscience! … Besides, after so many years, they say that the palace is not enough, and the dirty water poured on the palace can be filled with the river of golden water! ”

The concubine snorted, although she knew that there was no way to do it, but her husband had not been to the court for more than 20 years, and the first time she went to the court, she praised the eldest son and eldest grandson in front of hundreds of officials, which made the concubine Niangniang feel uncomfortable.

changed to an ordinary family, and being a grandfather only boasted about the long house, which was also uncomfortable.

Zheng Zi knew that Niangniang was uncomfortable, so she said: "Your Majesty closed the case with Zhang Cha's madness, and he also cares about Niangniang. In His Majesty's heart, Niangniang is extremely heavy. ”

"If that's the case, he won't yell at me, he won't disbelieve me... If you don't close the case like this, will I, Zheng Shu, be the murderer behind the scenes? ”

Thinking of her husband's attitude towards her that day, the concubine picked up the sour plum soup on the table and drank it all.

Zheng Zi didn't say anything, it's really hard for her to be a slave and maid about the affairs between her mother and Your Majesty. But if this case is not closed like this, and then let the three law divisions try it, Pang Baolai will be brought out, and then how innocent the concubine is, she can't be washed away if she doesn't jump into the Yellow River.

The current situation is the best for Niangniang.

The concubine may also know about this situation, she sulked for a while, and then asked, "The prince didn't say anything else?" ”

"The prince has nothing to say, and he also hopes that the case will be closed as soon as possible and no one else." Zheng Zi said.

The concubine sneered: "Your Majesty said that he is extremely filial, does he dare not be filial." ”

Zheng Zi thought for a while and said, "The prince came to make amends to his mother that day, and it doesn't look like he was against his will. ”

"Knowing people and knowing faces don't know their hearts, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart and eyes are not like appearances, you don't think too well of him, this palace dares to say that if His Majesty is not there one day, this prince will definitely not let go of this palace."

After speaking, the concubine sighed, don't look at Zhu Changluo who came over to kneel and knock on her that day, and tears were in her eyes, as if she really respected her Zheng Guifei as her mother, but this kid is really going to be the emperor, and she will never be as good as her concubine.

Zheng Zi didn't speak, because she knew that what Niangniang said might be true.

"I really don't know what he did, saying that although I can rest assured, I also supported my Zheng family, and finally did this? … The benefits are not all in the East Palace, what do I get? He was embarrassed to ask for more than 100,000 taels from my Zheng family! ”

The more the concubine thought about it, the more angry she became, and slapped the bowl of sour plum soup on the table.

You can't blame Niangniang for being angry, that's the case, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent, and in the end it was the East Palace that really benefited.

If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two was a bit complicated, the concubine would definitely have to wonder if that kid took the opportunity to coax the Zheng family for money.

Zheng Zizi knew who he was that Niangniang was talking about, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "Niangniang, Xiao Wei's father-in-law said that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and taking a step back may not mean losing, but winning, a big win, a big win." ”

"Win a fart, he knows how to talk!"

The concubine Niangniang stood up angrily and looked out, pouting her mouth and said, "Isn't he bolder than the sky?" Why did it become a shrunken turtle this time, hiding outside, and didn't dare to enter Beijing? … Purple girl, you said it yourself, what can he do if he hides outside? I think he just didn't bother to do things for the palace! ”

Zheng Zi said in a harmonious voice: "Niangniang, Gonggong Wei is also afraid that His Majesty will be angry, so he doesn't dare to enter Beijing." ”

The concubine raised her eyebrows: "Then he is not afraid that I will be angry?" ”

"This..."

Zheng Zi didn't know how to answer Niangniang's words.

The concubine suddenly glanced at Zheng Zi, and said, "Huh": "How can you speak for him?" ”

"Mother, how can there be."

Zheng Zi branched out, "Niangniang, Pang Bao and Grandpa Cui are still outside." ”

"Leave them alone, these two slaves and maids almost killed the palace, and the palace didn't kill them!" The concubine's face was cold.

"Niangniang, Pang Bao is at fault in this matter, and he is indeed a little bolder, but after all, he doesn't really have the intention of harming the prince, and Grandpa Cui really doesn't know..."

The concubine snorted and didn't speak again.

Zheng Zi knew her mother's temperament and knew that this meant bypassing Cui and Pang.

"Blame me for being too indulgent on weekdays, which makes them do things without knowing the sky."

After speaking, the concubine Niangniang turned around and said to Zheng Zi, "I'm not feeling well, I'm always upset, tomorrow you accompany me to Biyun Temple in Xishan to worship a Buddha." ”

After finishing speaking, she found that the purple girl was looking at her with a very strange look.

"What do you think of me like that?"

The purple girl hesitated, and then said: "Niangniang, then, the medicine is not safe, the little prince is not yet a year old, can it be... I'm pregnant again..."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the concubine's face instantly turned red, and she said: "What do you think about this girl, I will marry you tomorrow, so you don't have to think nonsense around me." ”
