When Duan Jingyi rushed to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he happened to meet Ning Guiren, who had just taken the throne, crying and crying in front of the palace, she was not in a high position, and she didn't dare to make a fuss, but in the past few days, I heard that other sisters had gone to make trouble, and I didn't want Emperor Duan to feel that he didn't care about him, but Ning Guiren really didn't have the courage to make trouble at the invitation of other sisters, so he chose a quiet early morning to cry and cry alone.

Su Mao stood in front of the hall and looked at the person in front of him helplessly, only comforted him casually for a few words and stopped talking.

Now that Emperor Duan is back, Su Mao has the backbone behind him, so he is naturally no longer nervous, and just tells Emperor Duan what happened every day.

Even if he didn't go to the court for a few days now, the palace would have exploded long ago, Su Mao was not afraid, he saw Duan Jingyi coming from a distance, and his expression was hurriedly ushering, "Lord Wang, you are here, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside." ”

Duan Jingyi responded and walked inward naturally.

Ning Guiren was stunned when she saw this, she had heard a lot of rumors about Emperor Duan's harem in the past few days, some people said that His Majesty had an emergency, and some said that he secretly favored a new palace maid in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, but more disturbing speculation was that His Majesty was under house arrest by unknown princes, intending to force the palace to seize the throne.

If the first two situations are okay, there is still room for survival, but the last one, if it is really succeeded by the prince, then none of the women in the harem will be spared, and all of them will be given death or expelled from the palace.

Ning Guiren was shocked into a cold sweat when she thought of this, she looked at Duan Jingyi's back in surprise, tears were still hanging on her cheeks, but her whole person was already frozen.

Su Mao sneered in his heart, he had also heard all kinds of speculations and knew what the harem women were thinking, he walked over and made a gesture of please, "Your Majesty has something to discuss with King Yi, Niangniang is crying here for fear of displeasing Your Majesty, please go back early." ”

Ning Guiren came back to his senses, nodded and thanked him, but his expression was preoccupied, and then he quickly left the Heart Cultivation Hall and went back to his bedroom.

Along the way, she was uneasy, thinking about how she could get a glimmer of life if it was really Duan Jingyi forcing the palace, so that when she returned to the palace, she still couldn't sit down, and could only pace uneasily over and over again.

But the more panicked I was, something came to my door.

"Concubine Xi Niangniang has arrived!"

Ning Guiren was startled, she hurriedly came back to her senses and greeted her, but before she left the palace gate, she saw a group of battles hurriedly coming in outside, and Gu Xi, who was the leader, came straight to her with a displeased face, so frightened that Ning Guiren retreated again and again.

"I heard that you saw King Yi enter the Heart Cultivation Palace?"

Ning Guiren was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and trembled, "The concubine went to raise ...... this morning"

"Just say no!"

“…… Be! ”

Gu Xi's expression was so cold that Ning Guiren was even more silent, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense for half a word.

Gu Xi flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace door angrily, "Go to the Heart Cultivation Palace!" ”

After Gu Xi left, Ning Guiren sat on the ground, and only after relieving himself did he realize that he had been scared into a cold sweat, the concubines in the top position of the harem had the absolute right to live and kill, and just this entry and exit for a moment was enough to scare people into half a life.

Halfway through Gu Xi's sedan chair, she suddenly drank her entourage, "Wait a minute!" She quickly calculated, frowned, leaned over and asked the eunuch beside her in a low voice, "The people arranged by the Lord to connect outside the palace are there every day?" ”

The man also replied in a low voice, "Hui Niangniang, it's all here!" The minions do as you tell them to check every day, without exception! ”

"Well, you go and send a letter to King Xun and learn everything about today, and say that Your Majesty has summoned King Yi into the palace, so that he must also see Your Majesty."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the little eunuch immediately ran away.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and ordered, "Send a bowl of lotus seed soup made by someone from the palace to Your Majesty, and let's go back to the palace directly." ”

"But mother...... What if Your Majesty still refuses to accept it? ”

"Then hand it over to Su Mao, as long as you let Your Majesty know that the palace has sent something over."

Gu Xi's eyes flashed a touch of shrewdness, this harem game always shoots the first bird, and the more calm the person, the more he can go to the end.

Besides, she just sends soup over every day, not only can she take the opportunity to find out some news and come back, but also make a note in Emperor Duan's heart, and more importantly, no matter what happens, she will not find out about her.

Within half an hour, Duan Jingxun rushed into the palace in a hurry, and Su Mao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him when he saw him coming.

"Your Royal Highness, why are you here, Your Majesty is still tired today, so let the slave go ......"

"Get out of here!" Duan Jingxun thought that Duan Jingyi had lost all his reason in the palace at this time, and he was stunned to break in, "When is it your turn to see your father, this king wants you, a minion, to stop you!" ”

"Your Highness, you can't rush in, let's go and report it for you!"

Duan Jingxun vigorously shook off Su Mao, pointed at the tip of his nose and warned, "If you dare to stop this king, I will directly kill you!" ”

"But you can't ...... it, lord."

Where could Duan Jingxun still listen to these words, he was anxious as if he was on fire, for fear that this supreme throne would fall into Duan Jingyi's hands one step later.

After hearing the noise outside in the palace, Emperor Duan suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and then landed the chess pieces in his hand firmly on the chessboard and spit out four words proudly, "A big victory!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the heavy door of the hall was vigorously pushed open outside, followed by Duan Jingxun, who hurriedly broke in to investigate everything.

Duan Jingxun described the scribbled eyes as excited and scarlet, he originally wanted to rush in and directly take advantage of Duan Jingyi's unpreparedness to sneak attack him, so that he was fully prepared, but when he was about to exert his strength, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't say half a word.

I saw that the two people sitting on the couch on the ground cast their eyes at him, and between the two there were tea cups and chessboards and unfinished sticky bean buns, as if it was a pleasant scene of father and son getting together, Duan Jingxun's eyes moved to Emperor Duan in surprise, only to see that he was healthy and ruddy, and seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and a pair of radiant eyes were staring at him tightly.

Duan Jingxun chuckled in his heart, and his knees went soft and knelt directly on the cold and smooth marble floor.

"Father, Father, Emperor......"

Su Mao only relieved his body at this time, rushed in in hurriedly, and knelt behind Duan Jingxun with a thud, "Your Majesty forgives me, His Royal Highness King Xun insists on breaking in, it is a slave who is incompetent!" With that, he slammed his head on the ground.

Duan Jingxun became even more panicked and nervous when he heard this, "No, father, it was Erchen who heard that the fourth brother had entered the palace, so he ......" He himself realized that something was wrong and stopped talking.

Emperor Duan narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice was not loud but gloomy, "So you came in a hurry?" Why can't I call a prince into the palace to play chess? What are you afraid of? ”

Duan Jingxun panicked, "Father Emperor Mingjian! You haven't been able to avoid people for the past few days, and you are really worried about missing your father, thinking that since your father has asked the fourth brother to enter the palace, he must be in better health, so his son is in a hurry to come to see his father! ”

"Heh, it turns out that I miss me," Emperor Duan looked at the frightened person kneeling below, and his voice became even quieter, every word was like a sharp blade, "Then who told you that King Yi entered the palace!" ”

"This!" Duan Jingxun's heart was shocked, and he felt that his limbs and brain were stiff and numb, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead.

"Speak quickly!"

"It's Ning Guiren!" Duan Jingxun was even startled after shouting this name in a panic, he gritted his teeth and begged for mercy, "Father Emperor Mingjian, Erchen wanted to enter the palace today to invite An, who knew that I met Ning Guiren halfway and heard her say that Erchen knew that the fourth brother was also in the palace, so I came in a hurry, and asked my father to forgive me!" ”

Emperor Duan playfully repeated the name, "Ning Guiren, what a Ning Guiren," his expression was grim, "Su Mao!" ”

"The minions are here!"

"You know what to do, pull out her tongue and hang it in the harem to make an example!"

"Yes!"

Duan Jingxun felt Emperor Duan's gaze fall on him again, he trembled involuntarily, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Emperor Duan's expression, he only prayed that he could come back to life this time, as long as he didn't lose his life, it would be a great gift.

Finally, Emperor Duan spoke, his voice was cold and stiff, full of anger, "Jingxun! ”

Duan Jingxun stiffened, his head was clasped straight to the ground, and he was almost suffocated with fright, "Erchen is here!" ”
