Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [76] Concubine Zhang

In a remote palace in the palace, Han Yaoxi was sweeping the courtyard, and suddenly heard a few big-mouthed maidservants talking about Chu Changting being beaten into the cold palace, and the broom in his hand slipped out at once, attracting the inquiring eyes of several other people.

How so? Didn't the emperor fall in love with Chu Changting early on, how could he not only not be favored after returning to the palace, but also caused so many gossips, and even sent her into the cold palace? Han Miaoxi was confused by Yi Lunhuan's continuous actions for a while, and she looked in the direction of the cold palace with some concern.

This Yi Lunhuan broke me apart in advance, so that I couldn't see Chu Changting, there must be a reason.

Either he found out who I really am, or he didn't want me to mess with his plans. Han Miaoxi picked up the broom, and then absentmindedly landed on the ground.

It can't be the former, if he really found out my true identity, then he wouldn't have sent me to this remote courtyard so simply, I'm afraid he would have already killed himself. Then it can only be the latter, if I have been by Chu Changting's side, it may be bad for him.

What exactly is he planning? But no matter what plans he had, if he didn't let me stay with Chu Changting, it would be difficult for me to implement my plan. Han Miaoxi thought, and the hand holding the broom became tighter and tighter.

That night, Concubine Zhang was tending with flowers and plants, and Han Yaoxi gritted her teeth and ran over to kneel in front of her.

This concubine is the only concubine left by the previous dynasty, although the palace is remote, all kinds of expenses are available. Yi Lunhuan, a heartless person, can keep this concubine, which means that she must have a certain status in this palace. On weekdays, Concubine Zhang doesn't ask about the harem, and she lives in a shallow way to fiddle with flowers and plants, calligraphy and painting, presumably she begged her and said something good, she should be allowed to go to the cold palace to visit Chu Changting.

Concubine Zhang squinted at Han Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said after a while: "The mourning family remembers you, you are the maid that the emperor just separated a few days ago. ”

"It's a slave." Han Jiao buried her head deep in the ground, trying her best to show her humble gesture.

"What is the matter to beg the mourners?" Concubine Zhang continued to turn her head to play with the flowers and plants, her voice seemed to be sincere and watery, slippery but compassionate.

"Don't hide it from the concubine, the slave maid was the maid of Su Cainu's side before, and after being sent by His Majesty to serve the concubine, she has never seen Su Cainu. Today, when the slave heard that Su Cainu was beaten into the cold palace, she was very worried, and she didn't know if the concubine could ......" Han Yaoxi crouched down, and her words were full of sincerity.

"I wonder if the mourning family can allow you to go to the cold palace to see Su Cainu?" Concubine Zhang laughed, and the wrinkles on her face rippled, but she didn't look old. She put down the golden scissors, turned her head to look at Han Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "You little girl is honest, just tell the mourning family that you are the maid next to Su Cainu, and you don't shy away from anything." ”

"Since the slave and maid are assigned to the concubine by the emperor, the concubine must know the origin of the slave and maid. If you hide the concubine, it is disrespectful to the slave. Han Miaoji said loudly.

Concubine Zhang restrained her smile and looked at Han Yaoxi quietly.

"You're so smart." Concubine Zhang's tone suddenly sharpened, with a bit of arrogance, "The mourning family has been in this harem for a long time, and the most taboo thing is to be humble and smart, such a person will always cause a lot of trouble." ”

Han Miaoxi stiffened when she heard this, and her cold sweat was fine and dense, but she was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Concubine, the most important thing for the slave is not to be smart, but to be honest. ”

Han Miaoxi pronounced the word "honest" very seriously, and Concubine Zhang was silent for a long time, and then slowly showed a smile. She stretched out her index finger and flicked it gently, and the maidservant girl next to her helped Han Miaoji up knowingly.

"But the mourning family is now old and tired, and they don't want to ask more about the harem. The current emperor has an idea, and it's useless for you to beg for mourning. Concubine Zhang's tone was like rippling ripples, but her slender Danfeng's eyes were not shocked.

"The slave and maid don't ask the concubine for anything else, but only ask the concubine to let the slave and maid meet Su Cainu, even if it's just one side." Han Miaoji said, choking up.

"The mourning family doesn't have the ability to do this. Okay, it's late at night, and the mourning family is going to sleep, so you can go back and rest. Concubine Zhang said, giving the maid next to her a look, and the maidservant helped her to the back room to sleep, leaving Han Miaoji standing there alone.

Han Miaoxi turned around in disbelief and glanced at Concubine Zhang's back, and a teardrop slipped down in an instant.

She walked out of Concubine Zhang's bedroom in a bit of a distraction, but when she went to the dark, she was grabbed by a little maidservant and pulled her into the firewood room of the side hall. In the dark night, Han Miaoxi couldn't see the maid's face clearly, so she only heard her say: "There are many inconveniences in talking and acting in this palace, and it is impossible for the concubine to allow you in person." Come with me, the mother-in-law of the cold palace is a person who can listen to the concubine, a stick of incense, go and go back quickly. ”

"Thank you, Princess." Han Miaoji was stunned. This deep palace speculation is indeed much more complicated than she imagined.
