Concubine Cheng didn't let them get up, nor did she speak, but let her unintentionally let go of the hand that pressed the palace maid's head, and asked coldly, "Where is Concubine Duan?" ”

Fang Cai did not arrange the concubine's attendant to answer cautiously, and pointed in a direction by the way, "Return, return to Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Duan Niangniang is chanting in the Buddha." ”

Concubine Cheng raised her feet and left, unintentionally swept over those palace maids with cold eyes and said viciously: "They are all kneeling here." ”

The words fell, and hurriedly kept up with Concubine Cheng's pace.

A small wooden house, for the small statue of Guanyin, Concubine Cheng walked in lightly, unintentionally followed in, only to see a woman in a nun costume kneeling on the futon, closed her eyes knocking on the wooden fish chanting, only the waist-length hair behind her can remind people that she has not yet become a monk.

Concubine Cheng didn't interrupt Concubine Duan's chanting, and waited until Concubine Duan finished chanting and opened her eyes, Concubine Cheng knelt on the ground, there was no futon, and there was nothing to foreshadow her, just knelt on the cold bluestone slab, she said: "Sister Duanfei, after so many years of kneeling and worshipping the Buddha, your wish has finally been achieved." ”

Concubine Duan's tone was calm, like an ancient well that could not ripple, "You shouldn't come here." ”

"The eighth princess's appearance is now more gorgeous than that of the third princess, and her body odor is more fragrant than that of any woman." Concubine Cheng said to herself: "The Spiegel Army under the command of Princess Jiangdu has also shot Baili Aotian and avenged the third princess, does my sister still want to waste her years in this square inch?" ”

"Bang la la"

As the sound of the Buddha beads falling to the ground sounded, Concubine Duan suddenly turned to look at Concubine Cheng, "What did you say?" ”

"At the age of twenty-four, the third princess led the army to defeat Anguo, and since then she has become famous, and there are countless suitors, at that time, the eighth princess was already twelve years old."

Compared with Concubine Duan's nervousness and urgency, Concubine Cheng was much calmer, "The third princess does not have a single soldier in her hands, but she has a good relationship with the Tiger Brigade, the Hussar Battalion and even the Hades Army and even the garrisons in various places, at that time, Your Majesty has already intended to let you leave Yongning Palace, do you think those who have finally let you stay away from Your Majesty can be willing?" ”

Concubine Duan knelt on the ground, thinking carefully about what happened at the beginning, and finally, her eyes stayed on Concubine Cheng, "Is it Concubine Lan?" ”

"The third princess does not have military power, but she is extremely influential in the army, and many people are good friends with the prime minister and the king of war, Lan Guifei has no children by her side, and she has always wanted to support King Rui, Lan Guifei will not be stupid enough to frame the eighth princess to offend the third princess, so as to lose such a help as the third princess, right?"

Concubine Cheng said, and finally said: "Especially, you don't have a son to fight for anything, how can Concubine Lan do anything to the eighth princess?" ”

"So, it's Shang Zhaoyi?"

Concubine Cheng was noncommittal to Concubine Duan's words, but Concubine Duan immediately understood, there are not many female dependents in the palace of Kyushu, Shang Zhaoyi has just been named Jieyu, the status of Concubine Liang and Concubine Lan has been stable and unshakable, I have the Prime Minister's Mansion and Jun Yi's body, and the position of the fourth concubine in the harem, only your position can be shaken.

"Just for a concubine?" Concubine Duan looked at Concubine Cheng in disbelief, "When she followed the queen mother, the palace maids made mistakes, and she couldn't bear to look at it when she was slapped." ”

"But this person who can't bear to see people being slapped has become the last straw that crushed the queen's mother." Concubine Cheng was facing Concubine Duan's face, "For the position of Jieyu, she can cooperate with Concubine Lan Guifei to frame the queen for adultery with her conscience, and a year after winning the position of Jieyu, why do you think she can't poison the eighth princess for a concubine?" ”

Concubine Duan stood up suddenly, "Shang Yulu, this palace and her don't share the sky!" ”

"Sister calm down your anger first, don't just think about these bad news, no matter how ruthless Shang Zhaoyi's poison is, isn't it still solved by Princess Jiangdu, today's eighth princess looks even more beautiful than you and the third princess, I think that Shang Yulu's poison has made you and the eighth princess suffer a lot and suffer a lot of grievances, but it is also a good thing."

"How?"

Concubine Duan entered the palace earlier than Concubine Cheng, and now she has been in the cold palace for more than ten years, speaking of which, she should be a little wary of Concubine Cheng, but the Cheng family is famous for being sophisticated but not sophisticated, especially people like Concubine Duan, who have really intersected with Concubine Cheng, can better understand the character of the other party, so she has no doubt about Concubine Cheng's words.

"The third princess, a woman, has made many military exploits, standing in the court and discussing the government with the men, this is an honor that even the queen mother has not had, do you think, can those people really allow the third princess to continue to be so dazzling?"

In addition to the anger on Concubine Duan's face, she finally had a trace of grief for losing her daughter, "Of course it can't be, the facts are already there, what's the point of you still asking this?" ”

"Yes, because they didn't allow the third princess not to stand in line and enjoy that honor, the third princess died in battle." Concubine Cheng stood up, "But that's because you entered the cold palace early, the eighth princess married Xing Kaiyang because of her appearance and body taste, and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was also affected by you and couldn't speak in the court, you couldn't stop other people's way, so you have lived until now." ”

Looking at Concubine Duan's blank expression, Concubine Cheng continued: "But now, the eighth princess doesn't want to be submissive anymore, the third princess used her life in exchange for a chance to leave, she followed Liang Yi to the battlefield, met the king of Jiangdu, went to the body taste, recovered her appearance, and is about to become the next third princess, do you think you can still stay in this square inch like before, with the green lantern ancient Buddha as a companion?" ”

"You mean, Bingqing (Eighth Princess) her body odor is gone?"

"A handwritten letter from the princess of Jiangdu." Concubine Cheng took out an envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Duan, "I won't tell you, when I just returned to the palace from Xiangguo Temple last year, I was put together by Concubine Lan and the Queen Mother, and knelt on the ice cubes with salt for most of the day, and the ice cubes melted a little and changed, my knees were unconscious, Junlin brought Princess Jiangdu to ask for peace, and without saying a word, it cured my knees, as well as the women's diseases that have plagued me for many years, so I think you should believe in Princess Jiangdu's medical skills." ”

Lan Jing's letter to Concubine Cheng is not long, but it tells the current state of the eighth princess very clearly, and of course, she is asking her to help in the matter of Concubine Duan and the queen.

After reading it, Concubine Duan finally believed that Concubine Cheng came to Yongning Palace today, not on a whim, nor did she simply come to see herself, "Princess Jiangdu, is this, planning to rehabilitate the queen?" ”

Concubine Cheng nodded, "The news came half a month ago, however, she should have been preparing for this matter for a long time, and her attitude is very resolute." ”

Concubine Duan was puzzled, "Isn't she the princess of Lan Zhaoguo, rehabilitating the queen, why?" ”

"She is the princess of Lan Zhao Kingdom, but it is the King of Jiangdu of Kyushu Country who treats her well." Concubine Cheng had a slight smile on her face, "From the time she followed the King of Jiangdu to greet me, I knew that their relationship was not comparable to that of ordinary royal children, but I didn't want to, she could do this kind of thing for that child in King's Landing." ”

"But you've decided to help her."

"Yes." Concubine Cheng smiled and agreed, "For the sake of Sister Queen, for my Junyi, and of course, for my future peaceful birthday, what about you?" ”

"I only have one child, Bingqing." A hint of perseverance flashed in Concubine Duan's eyes, "At the beginning, I was in a hurry, just because of one sentence, I even tired the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and now, I owe my father and brother, I want to pay it back." ”

"The eighth princess is now on the battlefield in the north, with the support of the three princesses' original old subordinates, by the way, it is the little girl of the Liang family, Liang Yansui, and the support of Princess Jiangdu's Spiegel Army, Princess Jiangdu and the prince also let the local Hades army take care of before leaving, people will be fine, so, as long as you work hard, your mother and daughter can be reunited sooner or later."

"This ......" Concubine Duan was surprised when she heard it, "What did Bingqing do, so that King Jiangdu and Princess Jiangdu took care of it so much?" ”

"This is the good relationship that the third princess forged for you and the eighth princess." Speaking of which, Concubine Cheng herself felt strange, "When Princess Jiangdu first arrived in Yongdu, she heard that the third princess had taken care of her twice, so she wrote it down, and the last words of the third princess on the battlefield were also left for their couple, and they only said three things, first, let the eighth princess reconcile; Second, ask Princess Jiangdu to remove the body odor of the eighth princess, and one more thing is to let King Jiangdu find a way to take care of you. ”

"Didn't mention herself." Concubine Duan's tone was extremely sad, "This kid lives too hard, it's good to die in battle!" ”

After a long time, Concubine Duan cleaned up her emotions and faced Concubine Cheng, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Walk out of Yongning Palace, and work with me to clean up the people who killed the queen's sister, you, and the eighth princess, and let the third princess die in a grand manner."

"Good!"

Concubine Duan only said one word, revealing that she wanted to say goodbye to her past self and declare war on the enemies of the past, present, and future.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year for the people, and the court also attaches great importance to this day, and it is also on this day that the court ushered in two news that shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, first, the king of Jiangdu, who had been out to inspect for more than a year, came back; Second, after several bloody battles, the countries of the four seas finally sued for peace with Kyushu and asked for negotiations.

The smile on the emperor's face on the high seat was clearly visible: "Yes, yes! The king of Jiangdu is worthy of being the god of war of my Kyushu country, as soon as the person comes back, the results of the past few months will come back like this, quickly, Huang Rui, the king of Xuanjiang will enter the palace! ”

Below, Beitang Junli and Beitang Junqin Qi changed their faces, and then, Beitang Junqin said: "Father, it's a good thing that the fourth emperor's brother is back, but this is more important to negotiate with the Four Seas, do we have to discuss the negotiation matters?" ”

At this time, the king of war also stood up, "Yes, Your Majesty, this result is that we sacrificed more than 20,000 soldiers and a princess in exchange, the four seas want to negotiate, we must let them let some blood, otherwise, I'm sorry for the more than 20,000 soldiers and the spirit of the third princess in the sky!" ”
