Kunning Palace

"This is also strange, why didn't the emperor mention the promotion of Concubine Jian," Concubine Xin has always been fast-talking

Concubine Zhuang said faintly: "The intriguing meaning of this is that everyone here understands that the emperor is equivalent to acquiescing in the fact that Concubine Jian murdered the sixth elder brother, so the emperor will not make her a concubine for the time being." ”

Cai Qian gently served tea in the back, I took a sip gently, it was Xinyang Maojian, who came to the queen's palace frequently, and they were also familiar with my habits, and said, "I heard that Concubine Jian has not been in good health since she was pregnant, the fetal movement is strong, and the whole person is out of spirit, she is not proud." ”

Power and imperial favor are like a big smoke, and the years in the palace have gradually worn away my pure mind. I don't know when I began to be obsessed with supreme vanity, obsessed with the sixth house, and everyone else was jealous of me and afraid of me.

Because I understand that only by constantly making myself strong can I not be trampled on, can I protect all the people around me, and this road must be walked wonderfully.

I was talking with Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Xin, Xinyue and others in the Qifeng Palace, and several of us had similar hearts. We are all the Queen's people, so the relationship is closer and more harmonious than ordinary people.

The queen usually doesn't talk much, but she is quite kind-hearted, and the right and wrong debates she has debated in the palace for twenty years have made her suffer from ups and downs. The queen glanced at me and said, "This concubine Jian must be eliminated, and her future power is unlimited." ”

As soon as the queen's words fell, Mianning came in, and walked to the queen's seat with steady steps, dressed in dazzling blue, just like the first time I met him in the snow.

Mianning knelt down on one knee and said with a smile: "Erchen greets the emperor's mother." The queen's originally serious face suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, Mianning doesn't have to make this big gift, how can I have time to come to Eniang." The queen's loving smile could only be seen when Mianning was there.

Mianning glanced at his eyes and swept around, and when he saw that there were not many people, he said: "Huang Ama asked Erchen to look at the daughters of several ministers in the court, and Erchen felt bored, and Erchen would rather go back to the border to be with the soldiers." ”

The queen gently blamed and said: "How can there be a reason for a man not to marry a daughter-in-law, you are now seventeen years old, and the emperor is really anxious." ”

Concubine Xin, who was sitting on the side, said approvingly: "The second elder brother is really a filial person, and the concubine looks at him and likes him very much." ”

Mianning turned around and said respectfully: "Erchen has seen Concubine Xin, Concubine Zhuang. After a pause, he looked at me and Xinyue and deliberately said, "Who are these two concubines?" How come Erchen has never seen it? ”

The queen said, "These two on the left are the nobles of Jin, and the one on the right is Eun Changzai,"

Mianning said respectfully: "I've seen Enchang here, and I've seen Jin Guiren." At the end, he stole a glance at me.

I smiled and said, "Second brother, you're welcome." I also glared at her unceremoniously, and specially accentuated the tone of the word "polite".

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Mianning followed, "Noble Jin stays, Brother Ben has something unclear." Mianning stopped me.

I looked back, looked at him, and said, "If the second elder brother doesn't know what's going on, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Why did you lie to me that day that you were not a concubine? What kind of Gege, why is Brother Ben so easy to deceive? "Mianning is like a child who has been bullied, I can't help laughing.

I casually stroked the beads on my sideburns and said, "Second brother, you and I are the same age, I'm just teasing you, you won't take it seriously, I think your experience outside is nothing more than that." ”

"Fufeng, let's go." I'm leaving like this, this second brother, hehe, I thought to myself.

Mianning looked at my back, and only after a while did she say in a voice that she could hear: "Why did you leave like this again?!" ”

Fu Feng thought for a while, looked at the expression on my face, and said, "Master, the slave doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

"What else do you and I have to worry about?" I looked sideways at Fufu.

Fu Feng lowered his voice and said: "The master and the second elder brother are both young, and they have no scruples when they speak, and the slave is afraid that the master will be talked about." ”

I patted Fufeng's hand, "The master knows." "What Fufeng said is not unreasonable, I naturally understand it in my heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she waited, the more anxious she became, so she almost rushed out, and said in her heart: "How is this good?"

When I returned to Qiancui Garden, Fu Rui greeted me with a anxious face, closed the doors and windows and said: "Master, I'm afraid something is going to happen, the slave and maid remembered that there were still some things left in the labor service bureau today, so I went to the labor service bureau to get it, and I saw a palace maid asking people about the slave and the maid and Fufeng, and the palace maid took Zizhu away, and the slave and maid secretly followed the two of them. ”

I was shocked, only a trace of panic but soon calmed down, knowing that it was not so simple for me to ask for two people from the labor bureau for no reason, Jian Concubine, the human spirit, really smelled the smell, and followed the smell to the labor service bureau.

Fufeng stood up with a "Teng" sound, and said with an ugly face: "If this Zizhu dares to say anything, the slave will kill her!" ”

I rolled up my green sleeves, looked at their nervous appearances, and said, "We don't know what Zizhu is talking about there, besides, she hasn't seen me yet, so we have to see Zizhu tonight." ”

I thought for a while and then said, "Tell Rumian about this carefully, but don't let Green Calyx know, we still have to rely on Rumian to find her." "After getting along for more than half a year, Rumian is definitely a person who can be trusted.

At the end of the hour, Rumian went to the Labor Bureau and invited Zizhu to come out, and first went to find out her tone, while I waited for her near the garden of the Aozao Hall.

Rumian quietly pulled Zizhu aside, making sure that no one saw him before speaking, Zizhu was a little surprised when he saw Rumian coming to him, and said suspiciously: "Which palace is my sister from, what is the matter with me?" ”

Rumian said impatiently: "You don't have to say this, our concubine has something important to look for you." ”

Zizhu heard "Concubine Jian" and immediately said flatteringly: "Naturally, there is no problem, I bother my sister." ”

Rumian cleared her throat and said tentatively: "Can you inquire clearly about what my mother asked you to inquire about?" Niangniang said that your benefits are indispensable, and now our mothers want to see you. ”

"It's all clear, it took me a lot of effort to ask the eunuch who buried Ruan Tangru that day, saying that she was not buried, but just thrown in a mass grave, it is estimated that she is dead, but it is not necessarily" Zizhu chattered as he walked, for fear of missing something.

Rumian looked at Zizhu's flattering appearance, and snorted coldly in her heart, it was really a thing that didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

Fufeng and I waited for a while in the garden of the bathhouse, and Rumian walked behind me unhurriedly with Zizhu.

Zizhu looked at the surrounding pavilions and rockeries, and the sound of gurgling water, but no one seemed extremely quiet, "What did my sister bring me to this place for?" Rumian said: "Don't worry, you'll know later." ”

Rumian leaned over my ear and said what Zizhu had said to her. He said in his heart: "This Zizhu has to kill the three of us." ”

Zizhu knelt on the ground and said, "Slave Zizhu knocked on Concubine Jian Niangniang," it was already dark, and Zizhu didn't see Rumian looking at me fiercely.

I turned, "Excuse me." "The voice is as cold as the cold winter of the wax moon.

Zizhu raised her head excitedly and saw my pale face, I looked at her coldly, Zizhu collapsed to the ground and pointed at me with a trembling finger and said, "You, you, you, are you not dead?" Are you a human or a ghost? ”

I stroked the hair on my sideburns, and said in a faint voice: "I'm still a human being, but maybe tomorrow because of your mouth, you'll become a ghost, how much you want to see me, run to Concubine Jian to talk more!" ”

Zizhu couldn't stand up, and when he knew that I wasn't a ghost, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at me and said, "I didn't expect you to be a mother, I really underestimated you, but I haven't said anything at Concubine Jian's yet, but now I have to say it, and you will send it to the door yourself." ”

"Stupid woman, I said before that I would never let you go one day, do you think we will let you out after you know so much?" Fufeng squatted down and pinched her chin.

Zizhu's eyes widened, his eyes looked around, and he shouted, "Help." Fufeng reacted quickly and covered her mouth firmly.

Zizhu used all his strength to push away Fufeng, and after stumbling a few steps, he was stopped by Rumian, "Our master doesn't want to kill you, but you have to blame yourself for having a crooked mouth, and anything can flow out!" Rumian said with his arms holding Zizhu.

Zizhu shook her head, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, I didn't know that the noble Jin was really her, Concubine Jian just wanted to know what the noble man wanted to do with the two palace maids of Fufeng and Fuyuan, and she didn't know the identity of the mother." ”

Rumian's eyes moved with a hint of compassion, Zizhu got a gap and ran in another direction, shouting "Help, kill someone" in her mouth, her voice trembling with fear.

I chased after it, grabbed Zizhu, she pushed me hard, and said, "I want to tell the emperor, you woman who has committed the crime of bullying the king!" Let the emperor divide the corpses of you! ”

She pushed me on my back and fell to the ground, and her center of gravity was unstable and she also fell, and with a "bang", Zizhu fell into the pool.

Zizhu desperately tossed in the water, it was March at this time, the river was cold, she stretched out her arms, only her head was seen under the moonlight, "Save me, save me" She cried out in a pleading voice, I turned my face away from looking at her, and a sense of guilt sprouted in my heart.

"Do you want to save her?" Fufeng whispered.

I struggled in my heart for a moment, and said firmly, "I can't save it!" ”

Fu Hui and Rumian walked over, watched her fluttering in the water, and said comfortingly: "If she doesn't die, everyone in our Qiancuiyuan will die, don't blame yourself." Rumian also nodded.

I thought that if Zizhu hadn't wanted to denounce me, I would let her go, but who knew she was so stubborn.

We didn't leave until she was silent at last, and no one spoke on the way.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.

On the second day, I heard Xiao Anzi discussing with Xiao Weizi in private: "I heard that a palace maid was drowned in the fish pond in the garden of Zaotang, and my body is green." ”

"That place is so remote, it's normal to drown there, it's just to blame her for being unlucky"

"It's not surprising that I heard that I fell by mistake, I heard that she was still a palace maid in the Labor Bureau, and no one paid attention to it at all."

"Just that's it"
