"One year, the Empress Dowager and Empress Yang went to Daxiangguo Temple to listen to the scriptures, and I went with them. Mama Gui, who was next to the Empress Dowager, whispered to me that if the Empress Dowager asked her to go to the Scripture Pavilion, you would take the initiative to ask for help, and the Empress Dowager would be very happy. At that time, I had just entered the palace, although I was a concubine, but my family background was not high, if it wasn't for the reason that my aunt was a clan, I couldn't be a concubine. I always dreamed of behaving in front of the Empress Dowager, Mama Gui is a grandmother with status in Chaoyang Palace, she can mention me, I am too late to be happy.

Later, the Empress Dowager really asked people to go to the Scripture Pavilion, so I took the initiative to go, and the Empress Dowager approved, so I followed the monks to the Scripture Pavilion.

That was the first time I met Wuqing, when Wuqing was still young, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and when Jueran handed me the scroll of scriptures, Wuqing followed Jueran. At that time, I was only fifteen years old, which was the age of innocence, and when I saw the good-looking little monk, I couldn't help but take a few more looks. Jue Ran said that this was his apprentice Wuqing.

After returning to the palace, the Empress Dowager asked me to call me to Chaoyang Palace. The Empress Dowager asked me who I had seen in the Scripture Pavilion, and I told the truth. I said I had met Monk Jueran and his apprentice Wuqing. The Empress Dowager asked me what Wuqing looked like, and I told the truth.

By the way, at that time, a teacher of the Temple of Mercy and Grace was also there, and the teacher had a scar on her face, which looked very scary, so I remembered it very deeply, and then I secretly inquired, and I heard that the Queen Mother valued the teacher very much, and invited her to the palace to give lectures every few days, but I have only seen her once in the palace for so many years.

The next day, the Empress Dowager sent Mama Gui over and gave me a pearl, I was young at that time, and I really had to be nervous for a few days, but I didn't know that it was only the beginning of all troubles.

Later, when my mother came to see me in the palace, I told her about the incident in Daxiangguo Temple that day, and said that because of this incident, the Empress Dowager also rewarded me. Unexpectedly, my mother's face changed greatly after hearing this, and told me not to go to Daxiangguo Temple again in the future, if the Empress Dowager went to listen to the scriptures again, I would pretend to be sick, even if it displeased the Empress Dowager, I would not go.

I asked her what was going on, my mother was helpless, and told me one thing, she said that my uncle Wang Qin caused a lot of debts outside and gave birth to a child, and the child was a monk in Daxiangguo Temple, and the child's biological mother was not an ordinary person. Since that Grandma Gui asked me to go to the Scripture Pavilion, she must not have a good heart, so I must be cautious.

I listened to my mother's words, and since then I have broken off my mind to behave in front of the Empress Dowager, and I don't go around in front of Empress Yang and Mao Guifei, and I have never been to Daxiangguo Temple again.

But because of this incident, my mother was frightened, and she was afraid all day long, for fear that I would be calculated in the palace. My mother is just a concubine of the Marquis of Changxing, and she has no son under her knees, so my father does not want to see her, until I entered the palace and sealed the concubine, my father gave my mother a good face. My mother has always been cautious, where can she resist such a big thing, and her body is already bad at that time. Later, the news of His Majesty's death came out, and all of us were sent to the cold palace, and the news that I was beaten into the cold palace reached my mother's house, and my aunt fainted to death, and it disappeared that night. ”

Concubine Ding's eyes were red, she looked at Zhou Tong, and said: "Little girl, you are right, you are so right, I may die today, or I may die tomorrow, but the Marquis of Changxing Mansion will definitely not be able to save me today or tomorrow, if I die, wouldn't it be even more in line with their wishes, and no one will know this secret anymore?" Therefore I tell you this, and tell whoever you want, and if I die, none of them will have any good fruit to eat. My mother died a long time ago, and my mother's family, except for my ruthless father, is a bunch of concubines born to his little wives, what does it matter to me whether they live or die. ”

Zhou Tong is very satisfied, her move is not wrong, Ding Concubine is really the kind of person she imagined, decisive in killing, as long as it is unfavorable to her, she will never be soft.

"You just know who Wuqing's father is, what about the?" Zhou Tong asked.

Concubine Ding shook her head: "I don't know, I thought about it for several years, but I didn't come up with it." It wasn't until that day that Wuqing came to see me and asked me those few words, that I guessed that his aunt might not be from Daqi. Little girl, I told you everything I knew, you go quickly, if I can survive, I will repay you if I have a chance, if I can't live, this is also a fate for us. ”

Zhou Tong bowed his head, smiled at Concubine Ding, and said: "If you can also have an afterlife, it is good to marry anyone in the next life, just don't marry the emperor again." ”

Concubine Ding pursed her lips and smiled, a smile was charming, Zhou Tong was a woman and couldn't help but be stunned, if Emperor Chongwen was a good woman, with the ruthlessness and beauty of Ding Concubine, maybe she would be able to fight a bloody way in this harem and become the emperor's favorite concubine.

It's a pity that Emperor Chongwen is not good at this.

Concubine Ding waved her hand and said, "Okay, I remember, if there is an afterlife, I would rather be a sister-in-law than enter the palace." ”

After speaking, she didn't look at Zhou Tong, and pretended to cry again.

When Zhou Tong returned to Yuehua Palace, Jiao Meiren actually fell asleep.

Zhou Tong also admired her, in this broad daylight, she could still sleep like a dead pig.

In the evening, a few chamberlains came in and put the dusty furnishings into the cages.

Zhou Tong knew that it was obvious that the renovation of the Huagong Palace was about to start this month, and she and Jiao Meiren had to leave here immediately.

She originally thought that after the restless night before, she would be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

But she never expected that at the third watch, the palace would be lively again.

It stands to reason that there is no one in the Yuexiu Palace, and the excitement outside cannot be transmitted here.

Helplessly, people who practice martial arts have a good pair of ears, and Zhou Tong is no exception.

She has always slept very lightly, and the slightest movement can startle her.

She sat up, holding her breath and listening carefully to the movement outside.

The sound was not loud, it seemed to be far away, but it seemed like there were many people moving out at the same time.

This reminded Zhou Tong of the night many years ago, when she and Yun Qi broke into Chaoyang Palace, the Yulin Army was dispatched, the Ouchi guards were dispatched, and there was a lot of noise in the harem.

The scene of that night resurfaced in Zhou Tong's mind at this moment.

Now there is no empress dowager in the palace, and the highest position in the harem is Concubine Zhaode.

With Emperor Chongwen's temperament, if Concubine Zhaode died in front of him, he might not be too lazy to take a look.

If the people who were dispatched at the same time outside were all Yulin Army and Ouchi Guards, then it must not be for the purpose of recruiting Concubine De.

There is another person in the harem, and that is the emperor.

Something happened to Emperor Chongwen?
