649 "Maintenance"
Mama Jiang nodded.
"The emperor sent the concubine to the Heart Cultivation Palace."
Ning Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and her face returned to her former arrogance almost instantly.
She knew that no matter how cold the emperor was to her, it was just for show.
She ordered someone to go to convey her intention to see her several times, and the emperor really agreed to see her.
Yes, even if she didn't care about the emperor's willingness to protect her before, the silent silence of the past few days still made her gradually fall into unease-
Fortunately, the uneasiness did not last long.
"What are you doing? Don't let people come in and wait for the palace to change clothes-" Concubine Ning frowned slightly, looking at Mama Jiang who was standing there and didn't move.
Mama Jiang answered "yes" and called the palace maid in, while she retreated to the outer hall to guard.
About half an hour later, Ning Guifei, who was dressed in a carmine embroidered dark pattern hibiscus palace costume and carefully painted makeup, took the palace maid out of the inner hall for a long time.
Mama Jiang bowed shortly, and watched Concubine Ning, who was full of luxury, take the two palace maids out of Changchun Palace.
Seeing a few figures gradually disappearing, Mama Jiang sighed almost imperceptibly.
Niangniang was so hard-mouthed before, but when it came to the end, she was still afraid, otherwise she wouldn't have valued the emperor's summons so much.
The emperor this time, can he really indulge the concubine like before?
She couldn't have predicted.
β¦β¦
Concubine Ning Guifei came all the way to the Heart Cultivation Hall unimpeded, and was invited into the inner hall by the eunuch.
When they brought them into the temple, the eunuch bowed and withdrew.
Ning Guifei looked left and right, and saw that there was no one waiting for half of them, and even Liu Fu was not there.
In the huge inner hall, there were only two people, her and Emperor Zhaofeng.
Ning Guifei felt a little unspeakably nervous in her heart, but she looked at Emperor Zhaofeng, who was sitting in the Luohan bed and reading a book, and her mood calmed down a lot.
The emperor still reads the alchemy book he loved to read in the past - it is still the same person, and everything is the same as usual.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."
Concubine Ning curtsied.
Emperor Zhaofeng let out a "hmm", put down the book in his hand casually, looked at her, and asked, "Why does Concubine Ai want to see me?" β
Hearing him ask like this, Ning Guifei's eyes changed slightly.
Why did she come, will the emperor not know?
Is the emperor waiting for her to admit her mistakes, or is he not taking this matter to heart at all?
It should be the former......
If she didn't take it to heart, she wouldn't have been reluctant to lift her grounding.
Therefore, her tone was quite sincere: "The concubine is here for the prince's business...... The concubine was confused for a while and did something wrong......"
Concubine Yun also said that she was confused for a while, and Concubine Ai should know what her current situation is. Emperor Zhaofeng's tone was calm.
"......" Ning Guifei's heart suddenly tensed, she gritted her teeth slightly, and knelt down towards Emperor Zhaofeng.
"The concubines really know that they are wrong, the emperor will punish them, and the concubines will suffer it."
Emperor Zhaofeng looked at her, but said, "In the past few days, I have always wanted to ask my concubine about something-"
"When the concubine ate that poisonous snack, did she feel scared?"
Ning Guifei was slightly stunned.
She didn't know why the emperor wanted to ask her such a meaningless question.
But he still didn't dare not answer: "The concubine was confused at that time, so she didn't care about being afraid, but she was afraid......
Emperor Zhaofeng listened to this and laughed complicatedly.
"Ai Fei seems to be very different from what I remember. If you are so afraid, you dare to do it, but it's terrible. β
She almost hurt Qi'er, and he was certainly displeased.
He was also angry when he framed the prince.
But in order not to make him suspicious, she did not hesitate to take poison herselfβbut it made him feel deeply...... Unthinkable.
is unimaginable, which means that all his previous speculations and beliefs have been overturned.
She can hide it from him, but she should never hide it from him.
Concubine Ning didn't know how to answer, and knelt there, full of anxiety and anxiety.
She didn't know why the emperor kept saying such inconsequential things and kept silent about what was really important.
What was he thinking?
This kind of unpredictable feeling is really not good.
"From today onwards, Concubine Ai will move to Fu Yuxuan." Emperor Zhaofeng picked up the book again and said, "It's cleaner there, Concubine Ai is old, and it's time to recuperate." β
For a moment, Concubine Ning only felt that the blood around her body was solidified.
She looked incredulously at the man sitting there.
ββ¦β¦β
Fu Yuxuan is an extremely remote cold palace, and it is no exaggeration to say that the concubines who have died quietly there over the years cannot be counted on two hands.
But the emperor wants her to live in it now!
Concubine Yun was condemned and sent to the cold palace, but it was not like this!
"Your Majesty...... Are you joking with your concubines? Concubine Ning pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, her eyes fixed on Emperor Zhaofeng's face.
"Concubine Ai thinks far awayβ"
Otherwise, he would not be at ease.
Moreover, he must now reassure the prince.
Otherwise, in the end, it is still him, the emperor, who cannot be at ease.
This is the best solution.
"Is the emperor going to force his concubines to death?" Ning Guifei almost said word by word.
Emperor Zhaofeng looked at her: "Don't worry, concubine, I will protect you." β
It's just that under the premise of being thorough, he first and foremost protects himself.
If he can't even save himself, how can he save her again-
"Thoughtful? Let the concubines go to Fu Yuxuan, is this the emperor's preservation policy for the concubines? β
Emperor Zhaofeng looked at her and said the word "yes".
Ning Guifei's eyes were red, but she suddenly laughed.
The laughter was full of sarcasm and resentment: "...... It seems that the concubine's original estimate was correct! Your Majesty has never thought about the concubines at all! β
"If it weren't for the emperor's eagerness to take the throne, how could the concubines panic!"
Emperor Zhaofeng frowned slightly.
Rush to Zen position......
She really knew everything about the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"There are countless new and old grudges between the East Palace and the Changchun Palace, the crown prince ascends the throne, and the concubines have a way to live? Your Majesty doesn't think about the concubine, the concubine can only plan by herself! β
Anyway, she is the one who is going to live in Fu Yuxuan, what else can't be said!
Emperor Zhaofeng's eyes were slightly cold: "I live in the world for a day, and I will protect you for a day." β
Ning Guifei sneered.
"Then the concubine still wants to thank the emperor for his love? Even if you are buried in the coming day, you should be grateful? β
She had heard from him more than once that he wanted to take her to immortality!
And if he really became the emperor with no real power, what should he use to protect her?
"According to this, is Concubine Ai unwilling to follow me to the immortals?"
Emperor Zhaofeng's tone was indistinguishable from joy and anger.
"Does it matter if the concubine is willing or not? Do concubines have a choice? Ning Guifei's eyes were full of tears, full of ridicule.
Emperor Zhaofeng looked at her quietly for a moment.
"You naturally have a choice. Isn't everything right now the choice of the concubine? Or does Concubine Ai think that there will be indulgence in this world for no reason-"
