On the carriage back to the palace from Anguo Temple, Li Xuanzhi looked at his wrist and said with some worry: "It's been a long time to come out today, I don't know if it will be discovered by Li Cairen." ”

"Everyone is a concubine of the father and the king, why is she always embarrassed by her mother?" Zhu Zhanpei wanted to comfort her mother, but she didn't expect to poke Li Xuanshi's sore spot, she frowned and said:

"There are only two of us mother and son here, do you still have to deceive yourself into thinking that you have the same status as the second emperor grandson, the fourth emperor grandson, and the eighth emperor grandson? The three of them are the sons of Li Cairen, you are my son, although they are all surnamed Li, we are different from each other! ”

How did Zhu Zhanpei not know in his heart? Let's not talk about the three grandsons of the crown princess, Guo Cairen's three sons are still young, and which of the rest doesn't ignore him?

"Now that the crown princess is sick, Li Cairen is in charge of the affairs of the harem of the East Palace, she actually openly said, her surname is Li, and your mother is also surnamed Li. Pei'er, don't you think she won't give her mother a way to live? ”

The back of Zhu Zhanpei's hand was hot, and when he looked down, it was his mother's tears that fell on the back of his hand. This heat ignited the anger in Zhu Zhanpei's heart:

They are all princes and grandchildren, why is everyone stepping on our heads? It's all my father's fault! It was his coldness that allowed him to be born in the imperial court, but his life was in dire straits and suffering.

He suppressed his anger and comforted his mother softly: "No, these fathers don't know...... Mother, after entering the palace for a while, you should go back to Nansansho with me first, and then go back from there. Mother's hand will soon be fine. ”

This is not the first time that Zhu Zhanpei has secretly taken his mother out of the palace and went to Anguo Temple to perform a Korean salute to the Bodhisattva, his mother is this small wish, and it is impossible for him not to fulfill it for her.

Even if the concubines of the East Palace can't leave the palace without a message, even if his father hates the Korean concubines and can't forget North Korea, he will definitely do it.

However, when their mother and son hurriedly entered the door of the South Third Institute, they saw Li Cairen and Zhang Cairen standing in the courtyard of the South Third Institute with a few people.

"Sister, I said she was out of the palace, and you still don't believe it. Alas, even if a woman of different races reaches the twentieth year of the Ming Dynasty, she will not be able to learn the palace rules and women of the Ming Dynasty, which is simply adding chaos to our prince's East Palace. Li Cairen stroked his hair that was not messy, and said gloatingly.

Zhang Cairen had a cold face, she was entrusted by the crown princess to assist Li Cairen in managing the affairs of the harem of the East Palace, and she couldn't rub anything into her eyes that ruined the reputation of the East Palace, she said coldly:

"This is not a place to speak, take it back to the East Palace and be punished."

The two mothers listened to the child's explanation, it was the child who hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and pestered his mother to leave the palace with the child...... "How could Zhu Zhanpei let his mother be punished, he immediately knelt in front of Li Cairen and Zhang Cairen, and Li Xuan's two personal palace maids also knelt down.

"Mother? Your mother is the crown princess, the sixth emperor grandson, don't kowtow to the wrong head. Take! ”

Li Cairen stepped forward and pushed Li Xuanzhi to stumble, and the two palace maids beside her stepped forward and carried Li Xuanzhi to the East Palace.

Li Xuan's two palace maids were about to get up, and Li Cairen said to the attendants next to him: "These two don't have to go back, just drag them out of the palace to be killed, and see if there is anyone who dares to help the master ruin the reputation of the East Palace!" ”

These two palace maids have been with Li Xuanzhi for seven or eight years, and seeing that they will be able to be released from the palace in two years, they died because of this, and the two of them couldn't help crying and rushing to the ground.

Li Xuan's waiter was at a loss, and he could only accompany him to tears. She suddenly remembered what her son said in the carriage, and turned back to Zhu Zhanpei and said, "He doesn't know!" He doesn't know! ”

Yes, it's not that he doesn't care, it's that he doesn't know.

A glimmer of hope rose in Li Xuanzhi's heart, maybe the prince would forgive himself when he saw his misery and pity, and even pity himself.

The glimmer of hope in his mother's eyes was like a light shining into Zhu Zhanpei's heart, not so much that he believed his own words and thought that his father would save his mother, but that he panicked like a drowning man and grabbed a straw that seemed to be nothing. No matter what, he's going to try.

Zhu Zhanpei turned around and walked towards his father's Wenhua Palace.

Li Xuanzhi saw the direction his son was walking in the afterglow, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She caressed her right wrist with her left hand, and the girl tied it well, and the handkerchief restricted the movement of her wrist, and now it was less painful.

She quietly untied the knot on the handkerchief, the handkerchief loosened, fell to the ground, no one cared about the handkerchief, let it lie alone on the bluestone road of the palace, a gust of wind blew, the white handkerchief turned over, reluctantly pushed to the snow on the side of the road, melted into the snow, and could not be seen.

When she returned to the East Palace, the two talented people stood at the gate of Li Cairen's palace, but she didn't plan to let Li Xuanzhi come in. He turned to the two palace maids and said, "Let her kneel in the snow for two hours, and then go back to copy the Buddhist scriptures." ”

The prince never honored Li Xuanzhi, even if she tortured and tortured her, she had nowhere to cry out for injustice.

Zhang Cairen looked at the snow falling sporadically in the sky, and said with some hesitation: "Sister, is two hours too long......?"

"Sister, you can't be soft-hearted when dealing with people who violate the palace rules, otherwise, you will never be able to ban them."

"Well said! Forbidden by order! The prince's voice came from outside the door, and before the words fell, the prince's soft sedan chair entered the palace gate.

Li Cairen was encouraged, and couldn't help but say proudly: "Don't kneel down yet!" ”

But Li Xuanzhi still stood there stunned as if he didn't hear it, and the palace maid next to him was anxious and gently pushed her, Li Xuanzhi stood unsteadily, fell to the right, and his injured right hand was supported on the ground again.

This year's snow fell a little early, and it was the winter solstice in two days, which was already a thick layer of snow. Falling on the soft snow would have been fine, but Li Xuanshi's hand immediately changed shape, and she also screamed "ah" in pain.

Zhu Zhanpei, who was following behind his father's palanquin, was like a knife: Mother is out of the way, and she does not hesitate to stage a bitter trick!

"Don't pretend, we're all watching, she didn't push you hard at all." Now even Zhang Cairen can't stand it, and his dislike for Li Xuanzhi has reached the extreme.

Zhu Gaochi wore a lot, and it was not easy for someone to help him down from the soft sedan chair, and he hated it for running around on such a cold day. The sixth son went to beg him just now, originally he didn't want to come, but he felt that his son was too old to not give him face, so he reluctantly went out.

As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he heard Li Cairen's sentence "order and forbidden", and he was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but praise it. Li fell, but Zhang Cairen said "she pretended", and Zhu Gaochi added to the anger.

"Wang Gui, go over and see if Zhang's is injured."

Wang Gui walked over, helped Li Xuan's servant up with the palace maid, returned to the prince's side and bowed down:

"Back to the crown prince, Li Xuanzhi's wrist is dislocated."
