Let's say that in the palace, Concubine Zheng Guifei was angry, and not far away stood a palace maid with a white face, with her head down, respectfully holding a bowl of steaming decoction in her hand.

"Why do you choose a palace guard, which of my royal heirs is not an honorable status, except for the evil seed born to that woman!"

The girl straightened her waist and replied with a blank face: "Why does the mother concubine talk about Brother Nine like this, I am not as comfortable as Brother Nine!" Not even the right to love someone! ”

"Why are you so confused? The princess in this harem belongs to you the heart of the emperor the most, but when the time is to assign you a good place, how many women in the world can't ask for a lifetime of honor? Shen Guifei tried her best to suppress her emotions, her eyes turned sharply at her, and lowered her voice, "The child in this belly can't be kept, as for Luo Sigong, the mother concubine will deal with it!" ”

"Don't, mother, you can't touch him!" Zhu Cheng hurriedly grabbed the corner of Zheng Guifei's skirt, kowtowed and cried: "Mother, the son has never begged you for anything, only for you, please fulfill us!" ”

The woman ripped off the corner of her skirt and whispered, "You are a smart child, why are you so obsessed? Let's not talk about his identity, it is impossible for you to be together at all, the prince has made many mistakes recently, and the emperor is not as good as he used to be, it is when your brother turns over, how can you have such an ugly thing? ”

Zhu Cheng wiped away his tears mockingly, his heart was like ashes, "In the final analysis, the mother concubine is still for her brother, and where is my brother suitable to be the master of this world!" ”

"Shut up!"

With Zheng Guifei's shout, the girl's face fell purple red.

Zhu Cheng unconsciously held his painful and hot face, straightened his waist, knelt in front of her dignifiedly, and said with a firm gaze: "The mother concubine will forgive her son's sin of unfilial piety!" ”

Concubine Zheng's expression softened, and she quickly squatted down and stroked her face with pity, "Cheng'er, it's good that you know it's wrong, you follow your mother, and your appearance is also the most outstanding among the princesses, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake today, we just need to change it, you listen to the words of the concubine, drink this bowl of medicine, and understand everything!" ”

The girl's eyes were shocked, she looked at the gentle and luxurious woman in front of her in disbelief, shook her head, and said firmly: "If there is anything to do with Sigong, the child and I will go with him!" ”

"Obsessed!"

Concubine Zheng waved her sleeves and said coldly: "Qiuyue, please take medicine for the princess!" ”

The palace maid raised her head suddenly, replied yes, trembled and stepped forward with the medicine, and said hesitantly: "Princess, offended!" ”

Zhu Cheng looked frightened, his body unconsciously stepped back, stood up again, knelt at the feet of Zheng Guifei in a few steps, raised his head and begged bitterly: "Cheng'er knows that he is wrong, wrong...... I just ask my mother to be kind, as long as my mother lets me give birth to this child, let Sigong go, my sons will listen to you for everything, and my sons are willing to marry to the southwest! ”

Concubine Zheng closed her eyes and said indifferently: "What are you all eating, don't pull the princess down, just let her rest after taking the medicine!" ”

"Princess, the minions are offended!"

Zhu Cheng finally let go of his hand and sat on the ground like five thunderbolts, only to feel that the sky was dark.

"Princess, listen to Niangniang's words, just drink this medicine, it's all over!"

Looking at the medicine spoon little by little closer to her mouth, the girl shook her head in despair, bit her lip, and began to struggle with all her might.

"Mother, what's going on, so lively?"

Gonggong Li hunched over and stepped into the door, with a smiling face that seemed to be smiling.

"Yo, isn't this Princess Cheng?" Gonggong Li snorted, then suppressed his throat and said: "Niangniang, don't blame the slave for talking too much, this child is older, what do you have to say!" ”

Concubine Zheng snorted coldly, "You rootless thing, what kind of bastard words did Hugh say!" ”

He slowed down his voice again and asked, "How did you get in?" ”

Gonggong Li lit up the token in the palm of his hand, "Where do the slaves dare to set foot in the noble land of the mother casually, it is not the emperor's order!" ”

The woman was startled when she saw it, so she quickly covered up the past, blessed her body slightly, and said unhappily: "Say, what does the emperor command!" ”

Gonggong Li put away the token, hurriedly picked up the princess on the ground, and said with a smile: "The emperor's oral metaphor passed by the slave, let the mother and the princess go to the palace!" ”

Concubine Zheng immediately put away Fang Cai's face, and said with a pleasant face: "Dare to ask Gonggong Li, I don't know what happened?" But please tell me one or two, Grandpa Li can rest assured, this palace will never implicate you! ”

"What are you talking about? Where does the slave understand the emperor's thoughts, if he says that this is implicated or not, the mother only hurries to go, and the emperor is waiting! ”

Concubine Zheng immediately straightened her sideburns, and then glanced at Zhu Cheng, who was bowing her head, "Why don't you hurry up and clean up, your father is waiting!" ”

After leaving the house, Zhu Cheng was already in a trance, and his dizziness symptoms were better, looking at the familiar lakes and mountains were also snow-capped, just like the relatives and siblings in this palace, which was chilling.

Looking at the white sky again, the goose feathers and heavy snow that flew down along the way, the cold bones of the body invaded, and he was already cold and unconscious, licked his dry lips, and secretly thought: Will he be there too?

Concubine Zheng was anxious, and she took a sedan chair to the palace in fright, and didn't care about Zhu Cheng behind her.

Gonggong Li followed Zhu Cheng all the way, and finally spoke: "Don't be discouraged, princess, the emperor's favorite princess is you, when the time comes, you only need to say a few good words, and the emperor will not embarrass the princess!" ”

Zhu Cheng opened his mouth and unconsciously touched his stomach, "Fortunately, you came, you saved my life today, if he has the opportunity one day, I will definitely repay him!" ”

"What does the princess say to repay or not, the slave is just passing a few words, thinking that when he was in the palace, he was young and frail, he was bullied and scolded everywhere, and he never got a full meal, if it wasn't for the princess to shelter him all the time, where would the slave be today! Speaking of which, the slave can't repay the princess's kindness! ”

The girl suddenly stopped and looked at him: "Gonggong Li, since you say so, you tell me first, how about Sigong him?" Father, but it's because of me and Sigong? ”

He sighed: "The emperor is losing his temper and blasting out all the minions, no one dares to persuade him, those of us who are slaves, just wait for the emperor to take our lives, which is the creation that the minions have cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Zhu Cheng saw that his expression was worried, which was very different from usual. Secretly thinking that Gonggong Li grew up with her, deep thoughts, old and spicy means, it is not easy to get today's status at a young age, for himself, he has not seen any bad thoughts, but often says good things about himself in front of the emperor, he has served the emperor for some years, he is used to seeing all kinds of scenes in the palace, and he is also quite calm, so he is so frightened and secretive, it must be something wrong.

So he looked at him pleading and said, "Since my father asked you to invite me, you naturally know what happened!" She lowered her voice and asked, "I just ask you, where is Si Gongke, has something happened to him?" ”

Gonggong Li looked down at the steps, and said very softly: "The princess's matter is one yard, but what makes the emperor even more angry seems to be for the sake of the king of the southwest!" But recently, the minions haven't seen the Luo guards! ”

Zhu Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, and his steps froze slightly, almost thinking that something had happened to him.

However, he soon thought that his father was so angry, not because of his own affairs with Luo Sigong, but because of the threat of the King of the Southwest was what he was really worried about. ”

Gonggong Li was slightly embarrassed, and then replied: "It seems to be a piece of music that asks for sealing!" ”

Zhu Cheng frowned slightly, disgusted in his heart, the emperor likes to discuss political affairs with her, but this southwest king is too public, thinking that as soon as the king of Furui dies, he will go around to cage his old department, and now the army should be the most abundant, if he wants to rebel, he must be a tiger down the mountain.

In order to appease him, the emperor only crowned him a pair of sons and daughters as the prince and the lord of the county a month ago, but the king of the southwest has always been only brave, even if he has troops, he has no financial resources.

It's just that the emperor made a wrong move, gave Shen Wan Sanxiu away, and left his son in Kyoto but didn't tie him well.

Thinking about this, Shen Wan Sanxiu has already gotten the news, his son is no longer in the capital, he is not an ordinary person, if he wants to start a family, he can easily become rich and rival the country, if he uses his thoughts, he thinks that the king of the southwest has reached an incomparable peak.

At this time, he came to ask for the title again in a blink of an eye, and if he wanted to be rewarded again, he could only let his young son succeed as the king, or send his daughter to be a princess early, and what he ultimately meant was to divide the world with the emperor, right?

However, if you think about it, it is not appropriate, if you refuse to seal the king of the southwest, will you start a war, if the people are suffering from the plague today, you can no longer resist such a blow!

And the emperor is obsessed with the art of wood carving, and he has not paid much attention to political affairs, and he has also cultivated a gentle temperament.

Just thinking about it, I saw Father-in-law Zhang, who had an anxious face outside the door, trotting forward all the way to greet the girl, "Princess, you are here!" ”

Gonggong Li personally helped her hand and said: "Princess, you have to speak carefully, don't say the wrong thing, it will only provoke the emperor to be angry at that time!" ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of "boom" in the hall where the jade stone fell to the ground and shattered, and gradually the sound of the fragments rolling down and the woman's crying were mixed together, for a long time, only the woman's cry was left in the hall, but there was a terrifying silence.

looked at Gonggong Li, and the girl was also very suspicious in her heart, could it be that the mother concubine suffered a great crime for herself? is still so angry about the matter of the king of the southwest, if he drags down his mother, it will be regrettable.

Seeing the girl's anxious look, Gonggong Li whispered: "The princess must be careful, you must follow what you say, don't make the emperor angry!" ”

The girl nodded, and with a trembling hand, she pushed open the door of the temple.
