Concubine Zhen has a cold personality and disdains to compete for favor, but she also hides her inner feelings for General Huo very well. Even the palace maid who accompanied the marriage didn't know that her master was interested in General Huo.

and Yang Jieyu, who bumped into Concubine Zhen in the garden, didn't notice it, but in the past few days, Concubine Zhen's behavior was a little abnormal, which attracted the attention of Yue'er, the palace maid who took care of her.

Yue'er felt strange, the master couldn't swallow these days, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, what was wrong, the mother's father was like a fish in water in the court, and the lady's body was also healthy, what happened to the master.

Concubine Zhen sat quietly in Ganquan Palace, holding a letter in her hand, with an unhappy look on her face, and her white hands were tightly clenched together.

Yonghua Palace.

Since Xiaoyu left, Sun Guiren has become more and more unhappy and depressed, as if there is no one to rely on and trust in the palace from now on.

In the past, Meng Dan and Xiaoyu, one left and one right, dressed her up, told her stories, walked with her, enjoyed flowers and played chess. Although they live in the deep palace, they don't feel bored, and Sun Guiren really treats them as sisters......

But now, Xiaoyu is dead, and Meng Dan can't keep it.

Sun Guiren couldn't trust the other palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghua Palace, and felt that they were not reliable, and he had now been deprived of his waist card from the palace, grounded in the palace, and lost his freedom. Sun Guiren thought of someone for no reason.

Mrs. Huo.

In the past, when Sun Shangyu was still a concubine, it was convenient for Mrs. Huo to make friends, and the two also met several times inside and outside the palace.

So Sun Guiren did not hesitate to draft a letter and send it to Huofu.

The little eunuch was reckless, took the letter and came out of Yonghua Palace and passed through the palace road, and bumped into Concubine Zhen head-on. He also dropped the letter sent by Sun Guiren to Mrs. Huo.

When Concubine Zhen saw it, she actually intercepted it by a ghost, and reprimanded the little eunuch, which shocked the palace maid Xiaoyue's jaw and almost dropped.

"Mother?"

Xiao Yue has never seen the master lose his temper, the master has a gentle and knowledgeable personality, and is a reasonable person, but why did he get so angry this time and intercept other people's letters? Xiao Yue didn't dare to ask more, but carefully observed the changes in her master.

Since Concubine Zhen returned to Ganquan Palace, she was in a bad mood, and she flipped through the letters that Sun Guiren was going to send to the Huo family, and saw that Sun Guiren had a few words of concern for General Huo, and a few words of flattery to Mrs. Huo, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Concubine Zhen is sensitive, she quickly understood all the meanings of Sun Guiren's letter, and asked Mrs. Huo to find her a maid Concubine Zhen couldn't take care of it, but Concubine Zhen clearly read Sun Guiren's love for the general from this letter.

The letter was sent to Huo's Mansion, either to Mrs. Huo or to General Huo? If it wasn't sent directly to Mrs. Huo, could it be that Sun Guiren was interested in General Huo? Could it be that Sun Guiren and General Huo received it privately? Concubine Zhen was very apprehensive in her heart, she felt that Sun Guiren was really bold, but she didn't dare to make this letter public directly, for fear that it would affect the general.

The more Concubine Zhen thought about it, the more unhappy she became, so from the day she got the letter, she sent someone to keep an eye on Sun Shangyu.

Concubine Zhen did not destroy the letter, but hid it in her makeup. Unexpectedly, a small palace maid in Ganquan Palace secretly took out the letter and peeked at it while Concubine Zhen was asleep, and was surprised when she saw the letter, and the master Concubine Zhen hid the letter again, she thought it was a shocking secret.

The little palace maid spread it out without holding it, and said it again with oil and vinegar, the listener has a heart, life in the palace is lonely and boring, and it is easy to have such a talking point, and everyone is extremely excited.

The three of them became tigers, which was originally just an ordinary letter written by Sun Guiren to Mrs. Huo, but it became that General Huo and Sun Guiren gave and received each other privately, did unscrupulous things, and caused chaos to the dynasty.

Soon this matter spread throughout the palace, and even reached Sun Guiren's own ears.

Sun Guiren felt that this matter was by no means groundless, and he also expected that this matter had an absolute connection with the letter he sent to Mrs. Huo, so he hurriedly called the little eunuch who delivered the letter for her.

The little eunuch trembled and entered the Yonghua Palace, kneeling in front of Sun Guiren: "Niangniang, this letter slave was not sent out." ”

"Didn't send it out? Sun Guiren had already expected this result, "What's the matter?" ”

"Slave... The minion lost the letter. After the little eunuch finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground, not daring to look up at Sun Guiren.

"You lied to Hongu?"

"The slave didn't dare to ......" After the little eunuch was intercepted from the letter, Concubine Zhen specially confessed to him, and neither side dared to offend, the little eunuch could only make up a lie by himself, and he was beaten a few boards by Sun Guiren to death, at least he would not lose his life.

Although it was spring, Sun Guiren was afraid of the cold, and still lit a charcoal fire and a hand stove in the palace.

Sun Shangyu glanced at the charcoal fire beside him, smiled and said to the little eunuch, "Take a piece out, and I will believe you." ”

The little eunuch was shocked: "Niangniang spare her life, Niangniang spare her life......"

"What are you so afraid of, this palace didn't say that I didn't believe you."

Several palace maids brought the charcoal stove to the little eunuch's side, the flame approached the little eunuch's face, and the blazing fire was almost spraying into the little eunuch's face, and the little eunuch was already sweating layer by layer, and his heart was very frightened.

Sun Guiren was fierce: "Don't hurry up and take it out!" ”

The little eunuch crawled in front of Sun Guiren on his knees and shook out the cause and effect of the matter. What Sun Guiren didn't expect was that the person who intercepted the letter turned out to be Concubine Zhen.

If it was Concubine Chen, it would be easy to figure it out, but hasn't Concubine Zhen always had a cold and withdrawn personality and does not compete for favor? Why did he intercept the letter he sent to Huo Mansion, and spread this matter wantonly in the palace, reversing black and white? Sun Guiren really couldn't figure it out.

Unless there is a possibility, Sun Guiren had an idea at that moment, that is, Concubine Zhen was interested in General Huo?

However, Sun Guiren was only suspicious.

Concubine Zhen didn't expect this matter to be exposed, and regretted why she didn't burn and destroy the letter on the spot, but she was afraid that this time the general would be implicated, there were many palace maids in Ganquan Palace, and she couldn't hold out who spread it, so she could only attribute the blame to herself.

When she was depressed, Zheng Meiren came to Ganquan Palace to meet her, and when she came up, she directly asked Concubine Zhen about the thing that gave Concubine Zhen a headache.

"Niangniang Wan'an, I wonder if Niangniang can know about the rumors in the palace recently?"

Of course Concubine Zhen knew, but she didn't expect this matter to be spread like this in the palace, listening to Zheng Meiren's tone, this matter was getting more and more evil.

"Concubine Zhen, it is said that someone saw Sun Guiren privately teaching and receiving from General Huo in a small thatched hut outside the palace, it is said that ...... And an illegitimate child! ”

Concubine Zhen's originally calm heart was surging in an instant? Even she was driven by this rumor, or that her friendship with the general was too strong to think rationally.

Sun Guiren really had an affair with General Huo, and there was even someone who witnessed it? Concubine Zhen's heart instantly cooled by half, and the general ...... How can it?

Most of the concubines in the palace were also driven by this rumor, and the palace made up this matter thoroughly, and they were about to come out with a script. Every day, the bored palace maids and concubines used this matter as an after-dinner conversation, and the emperor and queen also spread it all over the place.

The queen was unusually calm about the affair between General Huo and Sun Guiren rumored in the palace. When Concubine Chen and Zheng Meiren told her about this, they just smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously, but she didn't think it was as evil as everyone said.

It's just that the queen doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't care.

Huangfu Zixuan cares very much, what he cares about is not whether this matter is true, but Sun Guiren has repeatedly refused to avoid him, and now there is this kind of scarlet peach in the palace. His concubine was rumored to have an illegitimate child with a courtier.

It is also extremely normal for Long Yan to be angry.

Huangfu Zixuan thought of Sun Guiren's departure from the palace a few days ago, and couldn't help but be associated with this peachy news, and his heart sank, and he decided to summon Sun Shangyu.

The emperor ordered his father-in-law Shunneng to pass the word, but Shunneng was rejected, and Sun Guiren embarrassed Shunneng's father-in-law.

"The main palace is under lockdown, and you can't go out."

In fact, Sun Guiren didn't want to see Huangfu Zixuan, and the emperor was looking for her just about the peach. What else can there be but blame, anger. Sun Guiren wanted to avoid the emperor's anger, and wanted to go later, and he could delay it for a while at this time.

Shunneng was anxious: "Niangniang, please hurry up, don't embarrass the old slave." ”

Huangfu Zixuan obviously expected that Sun Guiren would not follow the rules, so this time he insisted on letting Sun Guiren go to the Qinzheng Palace to see him and ask Sun Guiren to come to him himself.

Sun Shangyu knew that he couldn't hide this time, so he had to follow Shunneng's father-in-law to the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor's face was gloomy, while Sun Shangyu responded calmly.

After Sun Guiren met the emperor, the emperor dropped the teacup without saying a word, and thundered into a rage, first asking Sun Shangyu about the fake pregnancy.

Sun Guiren responded indifferently: "Whether the concubine is fake pregnant or not, the emperor will decide fairly." ”

In fact, Huangfu Zixuan's decision was to deprive Sun Guiren of his title and concubine position and snub her. Sun Guiren said this, which obviously made the emperor even more angry.

"Presumptuous!"

Huangfu Zixuan was angry, and others were about to die of fright, but Sun Shangyu was still as calm as ever: "The concubines obey the emperor's will, everything is important to Your Majesty, and please take care of the dragon's body." ”

Sun Guiren's words are good, but they sound very old-fashioned and have no feelings. Anyway, no matter what Huangfu Zixuan said, Sun Guiren responded like this, everything is quite Your Majesty, what you say is what it is, don't explain much.

Including the rumored affair between Sun Guiren and General Huo in the palace.

There is no much explanation, just denial, and the rest, whatever His Majesty says, is what it is.

"It is rumored in the palace that you are having an affair with General Huo."

"The concubine didn't."

"Someone saw you and General Huo having a private meeting in a hut outside the palace?"

"The concubine didn't."

"Some people say that you have a son with General Huo?"

This was even more funny, Sun Shangyu smiled and nodded, as if he was confident that Huangfu Zixuan would not believe it.
