Chapter Ninety-Two: The Cold Palace

It's winter again, and the snow hasn't stopped since the wax moon. Now Concubine Kang's pregnant belly is very obvious, and the emperor stays here in Qingyin Pavilion almost every night. The third princess was ordered to stay with Concubine De, she was lively and not easy to be disciplined, and the people in the palace were afraid that the third princess would not be good enough to make Concubine Kang slip.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that the emperor doesn't want to ask Concubine De to go to Qingyin Pavilion if she has something to do. This thing is also quite interesting, in fact, no one said it, but a clear-eyed person can naturally see that the relationship between Concubine De and Concubine Kang is not ordinary. Did the emperor see it? Hard. Maybe he has felt something like an elm head, but he has never said it because of the man's face. Maybe he was simply worried that the women in the palace were jealous again, for fear that Concubine De would be kind on the surface, and she would stumble on Concubine Kang behind her back.

It's not good to say.

In addition, Gu San has not been staying in Qingyin Pavilion much recently, and the grandmother in the palace said that she wants Lord Gu to be so angry, since Concubine Kang became pregnant, she was basically arranged to accompany the third princess to Linyu Palace, which is also in her mind, it is okay to play chess with the third princess at night, Murong Yuhua has not been online since that day, but fortunately, the memories are kept, and the communication and dialogue between the two will not be too affected.

Of course, this kind of life is actually not to mention Gu San, and Murong Yuhua is also starting to feel bored. She was richly dressed and lying on an expensive pear blossom wooden couch, "I think I am just a pig who eats, sleeps and eats, and has nothing to do except go to class every day." ”

Gu San has always been indifferent, and sat beside her, "Otherwise, what else do you want to do?" ”

Murong Yuhua straightened up and approached her, "I have an idea." ”

Gu San didn't think so, but asked first, "You tell me if it's good or bad first." ”

"Great idea, brilliant, brilliant kind!"

Gu San looked at Murong Yuhua's excited face, and said without hesitation, "Okay, I know it's a bad idea." ”

Murong Yuhua coquettishly took her hand, and then said, "It's time for us to hand over what I said before to them." We could have taught these to fight, fight, wouldn't we? ”

Gu San glanced at Concubine De, who was sitting quietly at the table practicing calligraphy not far away, and then looked at Murong Yuhua, "Are you crazy?" ”

"Please, sometimes we just need some breakthroughs, something special."

"You want them to start killing each other?"

Murong Yuhua laughed, "We didn't let them start killing each other. They've been doing it for a long time. ”

Gu San rolled his eyes, "That's right, in this place, who else will not be wiped out." But I hate it even more when they kill people and at the same time claim to be moralists. ”

"They are 'ancients', bear with them. Each era has its own characteristics, and I actually like to see them trying their best to disguise themselves. Murong Yuhua said, his eyes also looked out, the heavy snow outside the window did not mean to stop, the sky was gloomy during the day, and the fire in the house was burning, "Everyone is forced by the environment and vision to finally huddle in their own small pattern, unable to find the direction of breakthrough, and finally spend their lives in mediocrity." Everyone has regrets and embarrassments, but in the end they have to hypnotize themselves, fate is like this, and there is no better choice. ”

"Are you sure you're 'liking' them and not 'gloating'?"

Murong Yuhua leaned on the side of the coffee table with her chin with a smile, she turned her head sideways to look at the falling snow outside, and asked coldly, "How many months is it now?" ”

"Into the wax moon."

"It's the moon, isn't it......" the little princess finally murmured in a low voice, "Then, it should have progressed to that plot as well." ”

Gu San raised his eyebrows: "I thought the plot you watched didn't extend all the way to the back." ”

"I told you that this book is long, long, but I glanced at the general plot." Murong Yuhua glanced back at the servants and Concubine De, making sure that no one noticed them here, Chao Gu San approached and said in a low voice, "There will be war around the Chinese New Year this year, and then it will enter the next strong plot point." ”

"What is it?"

"War."

Well, it's the familiar part of Gu Sansuo again. She wanted to ask about the "system", but when the words came to her lips, she looked at the third princess who had been entrusted to the intelligent program at the moment, and still didn't ask the words after all, but just said, "Even if the war comes, you don't have to be afraid, I will protect you." ”

The third princess took Gu San's hand, her eyes shining brightly, "I'm not afraid at all, Gu San, as long as you believe me, in fact, I can also protect myself." ”

She has been tinkering with her own things recently, and Gu San basically knows that it is striking iron and collecting gunpowder, which seems to mean that she is determined to develop her own hot weapons in the era of cold weapons. These concubines don't know much, but they just let Gu San watch more, so as not to hurt the third princess and have an accident.

After chatting that day, it didn't take long for news to reach the palace, saying that King Zhen'an, who had been staying in Lingnan, had rebelled. It's just that this prince is rebelling, and there are still many people in various places who respond, and they all rise up one by one, all dissatisfied with the rule of Emperor David and want to rebel.

In the past few years, the border wars and foreign fights have almost exhausted the troops and the treasury, and now the external worries are peaceful, and the internal troubles have risen again, and the father and brother of the queen mother have just returned to the capital, and they have rushed to the front line again. The first year in the palace was not comfortable, and the emperor was sad all day long, and he couldn't even see the mood of the ladies in the palace.

The king of Zhen'an took the lead in rebellion, but two months in succession to capture Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Kyoto sent soldiers and horses retreated, after the year only after the valley rain, the front line bad news came, said that the general who led the army to fight was captured by the enemy, beheaded to show the public, hung in front of the gate of Yuzhou - and this person is the queen's own brother. When the empress learned the news, she fainted, and when she heard that the emperor had come to see her, she knelt in front of the emperor and begged the emperor to summon his father back to Kyoto.

This matter was said by Concubine De, although they are incompatible with the queen, but after hearing about this kind of thing, there is still a little pity, but the queen really shouldn't say this, "The war is tight now, even if she is worried, she shouldn't ask the emperor to transfer a general back to Beijing, isn't this just discouraged?" To put it bluntly, it seems that she has decided that her father will die on the battlefield. ”

Brother Xu's death stimulated her, so that the queen, who has always been dignified and decent, would say such things. Concubine Kang listened to Concubine De's words and didn't say anything, but her face was sad, "My father's place is not far from Yuzhou, once the defense line fails, the Liangguang area will inevitably become a place where the two armies must fight." By that time......"

She sighed, given that she was now in the palace, her father would never choose to commit treason even for her, she knew his father's temperament very well, and he might even die with the family for his own sake.

The answer was soon revealed, and a month later, the news reached the palace -

Lord Zhao, the governor of Liangguang, descended.

The moment Concubine Kang learned the news, she was so frightened that she went straight to the birth, and Murong Yuhua sighed when she heard this, "Whether it is father and daughter, mother and son, after all, they will still think about their own lives." Being an official is the most life-sparing, especially a person like Lord Zhao who has been an official for decades, and he has seen through the affairs of officialdom. ”

Gu San listened to the shouts coming from the delivery room, Concubine Kang was pregnant and the emperor was by his side every day, and now Lord Zhao surrendered the rebels, Concubine Kang gave birth, and the emperor did not even appear in a personal figure. She said, "Even if you see it through, treason is a serious crime, and you will be punished by the nine clans." ”

"What if this kingdom will cease to be? Who is going to punish his nine clans? The building is about to fall, who doesn't want to find a way out for themselves, and being able to hit Liangguang shows that the troops on the front line can't resist the menacing rebels at all. Besides, who doesn't know the capital crime of treason? Murong Yuhua stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, it was raining very hard at this time, the clouds were thick, and the entire palace city was shrouded in a gloomy night, "The so-called thief of the hook is punished, and the prince of the country is just like that." ”

Concubine Kang's wailing lasted for more than two hours, and in the second half of the night, she finally heard a cry in the house, and Gu San hurriedly took Murong Yuhua into the house. Concubine De stayed by Concubine Kang's bed from beginning to end, she and Concubine Kang held each other's hands tightly, and Concubine Kang pinched her hands red because of the pain.

The nurse hugged the child to Concubine Kang's side, she just hugged the child and looked at it, then looked up to the side, and finally seemed to be completely disappointed in her fate, showing a wry smile, "He really didn't come again." ”

Concubine De took her hand and took her into her arms, "Even if he doesn't come, I'm here." As long as I am here, even if there are rebels attacking the capital at that time, I will protect you completely. ”

Concubine Kang shook her head lightly, "At this time, even if the rebels attack the city, there will inevitably be people who will guard you at that time, but my identity today is the daughter of a traitor, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to end up." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Listen to me, Jinyue." Concubine Kang raised her head and looked at the woman with a glint in her eyes, "You have to take care of our Hua'er, I don't care what happens to me, but you must take care of it...... Do you know well? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that someone had broken into the Qingyin Pavilion, and Xiao Chengzi and Bixi tried their best to stop it but failed. Those eunuchs also carried a group of guards with weapons behind them, and they were not good at a glance, how could Xiao Chengzi and Bixi stop them? Seeing that after breaking in, he took out the holy decree, obviously with the emperor's will.

"Zikang Concubine Zhao Yuan'er, my father Zhao Zhenghai was treason and lost his temperament, and he should be punished by the Nine Clans. His daughter Zhao Yuan'er, although she has been favored for many years, has not made a big mistake, and her father has been a criminal minister, and today she won the title and was demoted to a palace woman, and she was put into the cold palace and was not allowed to come out again. Chin thisβ€”β€”! ”
