Late at night, Ziyu suddenly came to Jingtai Palace. As soon as he came in, he asked straight to the point:

"Niangniang helped Ziyu, I don't know how to repay Ziyu if you need it?"

I waved my hand and smiled.

"This palace doesn't need you to answer anything, when ** forces you to enter the palace, after all, this palace has done some wrong, which can be regarded as compensation."

"Why do you bother to say these boring words, say Niangniang, what does Ziyu need to do."

I was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "Okay, if you don't say what this palace wants to ask for, then Ziyu, tell me, who is the most hated person in this palace now?" ”

Ziyu thought for a moment, "Pei Lin? Dowager? ”

I shook my head one after another.

Ziyu hesitated, "It can't be me, right?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it's you, how can this be a good reason, how can this palace let it go?" ”

"Who's that?"

"It's Princess Pei Jingqiu."

"She!!" Ziyu was a little puzzled, "She is just the princess of the prince, living outside the palace, even if she occasionally comes up with a few bad ideas, it won't become a big climate, why should the queen be worried about this person." ”

"This woman is not such a peaceful person, her husband should have been the best candidate to inherit the throne, because the defense of the new moon died young, and now the throne is gone, not to mention, only her orphan and widow are left to live in the Ping Palace, how can she be willing? She first sent her sister to the palace to consolidate the power of the Pei family. and constantly provoked the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, so that the emperor fell into the whirlpool of unfilial public opinion. ”

"This palace guesses that most of the things about you this time are also her ideas. I'm afraid you've already aroused her idea, and your identity won't be hidden for long. ”

Ziyu laughed when she heard me say that.

"If that's the case, it's exactly what I want. Every time I discuss the matter of rehabilitation with Your Majesty, Your Majesty always finds all kinds of excuses, and if Princess Ping pierces this piece of paper, His Majesty the Emperor will have to face it. ”

"Ziyu, do you think His Majesty the Emperor will give up the country because of his children's personal affairs?" I asked Ziyu directly: "The case of the Zi family was decided by the emperor, and now that His Majesty the Emperor has just ascended the throne, he can't help but overturn his father's decision, and when he is not rehabilitated, he married the daughter of a criminal minister, how many promises will this Manchu minister of civil and military affairs have?" ”

Ziyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, "Could it be that the Zi family's case can only be closed?" ”

"Ziyu, now how to ensure the safety of your identity, your identity is safe, the Zi family is rehabilitated, there is still hope."

Ziyu looked up at me and asked cautiously, "Niangniang, is there only one way?" Although Princess Naping is vicious, the orphans and widows are already pitiful, and I, I can't do it. ”

"Now you still have to take precautions, as long as you insist that you are not the daughter of Zishan, then there is still a way to do everything." I pulled Ziyu and said, "This palace doesn't want to kill them, but if things are forced to happen, we can only use the knife, otherwise, we can only sit and wait for death." ”

Ziyu nodded, and then sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have followed Niangniang to the crescent moon in the first place." ”

"yes, maybe we shouldn't have come to the crescent moon in the first place."

After talking to Ziyu for a while, Su Xin ran in from outside, and after saluting, he said that His Majesty the Emperor had gone to Shufang Palace. Ziyu looked at me, I nodded, and commanded with a smile, "Go ahead." ”

Ziyu saluted, turned around and took Xue Qing and Su Xin away, Cuiyun stood aside, looking distracted.

"What do you think, Cuiyun?"

"Niangniang, the slave maid is just strange, Mrs. Zi left the new moon to escape for her life, and then followed the mother back to the new moon, saying that it was to rehabilitate her father, but Mrs. Zi is just the daughter of a criminal minister, what do you rely on to rehabilitate?"

Hearing Cuiyun's doubts on the side, I couldn't help but laugh: "Cuiyun, I didn't expect that you were also infected with Du Ruo's disease today, and you like to ask questions." ”

Hearing that I blamed myself, Cuiyun couldn't help scratching her forehead and saluted: "It's the slave who is too talkative." ”

"It's okay, this palace didn't mean to blame you. In fact, Ziyu followed the palace to the new moon in order to end a relationship with Emperor Qi Yan, but she didn't expect Qi Yan to become the emperor so quickly, so she hesitated for so long in Yunyi Courtyard. ”

"If it is rehabilitated, isn't the power in the hands of the emperor more convincing?"

"Not necessarily, in fact, it is best for the first emperor to take back his destiny by himself, and besides, it would be fine if Qi Yan was the prince, but now that the former emperor is gone, Qi Yan has become the emperor, if he rashly overthrows the first emperor's destiny, it is unfilial." I put myself in the shoes of Emperor Qi Yan and said, "Maybe I will be crowned with the crime of being deceived by women." ”

"Niangniang, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is the most embarrassed."

"Alas, in this world, there is no one who is not embarrassed."

As he was talking, Yu Mo came in with a brazier.

"Niangniang, the charcoal I received this time is very good, there is no smoke and dust at all, you see."

I signaled, Cui Yun leaned over to take a look, and echoed: "Indeed, it seems that the palace people who divided the charcoal this time have learned to be cautious." ”

"In fact, as long as you are dedicated to your duties, you can't find anything wrong with any master. Okay, you put the brazier in, and the main palace will sit here for a while. ”

"Yes, sissy." Cuiyun pulled Yu Mo and brought the brazier into the house. After a while, Cui Yun came out with the hand stove again and handed it to me. Yu Mo on the side saw that I had no intention of entering the back room, so she smiled and advised: "Niangniang, it's not early, it's better to go into the house early to rest." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, this Jingtai Palace, there will be guests in a while. Yu Mo, Cuiyun, you are also idle, make a lantern, clean up the snow floating in the corridor, save people from slipping, and it will not be good if you fall again. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Cuiyun lit the lantern and took Yu Mo to lift the curtain and go out. I vaguely heard Yu Mo curiously ask who I was waiting for, and Cuiyun responded with a very official authority: "Don't inquire about Niangniang's affairs, just obey the orders." ”

I held the small hand stove in my hand and couldn't help but smile. After waiting for a cup of tea, the expected guests were finally late.

"I didn't expect the mother to really not fall asleep."

The curtain was lifted, and Rong Hua Qiyue walked in with the maid pendant, saluted me, and then found a seat and sat down.

"If you really didn't expect it, hmph, then you wouldn't be so late, and you came to the palace with a baba." I turned to the maid standing next to me and smiled and nodded, "And I'm here with a pendant." ”

"The concubine is also afraid, afraid that the mother is misunderstanding the concubine, and the concubine will be guilty."

I laughed and said, "Misunderstanding? Did you misunderstand that you and Pei Lin set up Ziyu, or could you take this opportunity to take off the heavy responsibility on yourself? ”

Qi Yue sighed and said, "It seems that the concubine's little plan failed to escape the eyes of the queen mother after all." ”
