Since that day, Empress Xu has been honest and recuperated in Zhengde Palace for a few days.

Because of the murder of the servant Yushi, the criminal department has verified the evidence of the crime of Guo Yun, the servant of the household department, and is cooperating with the Dali Temple to review, the suspicion of the household department Shangshu Ma Yun is not clear, and Emperor Chen has been discussing with the cabinet in the Xuanzheng Hall almost these days.

Pei Zhenwan was fine for a while, and asked Cheng Zhilan to go to Xuanming Palace to talk together.

Xuanming Palace is not what it used to be at this time, as soon as you step into the palace gate, the cold appearance of the past is gone, in front of the window under the corridor, all kinds of chrysanthemums are placed. There are also many more palace people serving the courtyard.

Shen Zhaorong has moved back to the main hall from the small building, although there is no luxurious decoration inside, the curtains have been changed to an elegant moon white and duck green overlapping color, although compared with other palace rooms are still a little cleaner, but there is also a lot of warmth.

When Pei Zhenwan and her party walked in, Shen Zhaorong was sitting opposite Qingming, with a chess game in front of him.

Bai Lu was the first to see it, and walked up with a smile: "Pei Meiren, Cheng Sile." ”

Approaching with a smile, Pei Zhenwan saluted before saying, "Zhaorong is so interested." ”

Shen Zhaorong beckoned with a smile, got up and said, "It's boring for a while, so I just talk about a game and pass the time." Sit down. ”

Answering the seat, Pei Zhenwan glanced at the chessboard on the table, and was indeed a little interested: "Look at this chess game, the white child is messy, and it is a little difficult to parry." ”

Qingming poured tea with a smile and said: "The slave and maid are not good at chess, and the difference between them and Zhaorong is thousands of miles, it is really difficult for Zhaorong to play against the slave and maid." ”

This looked very clear, and naturally several people couldn't help laughing.

"I have nothing to do on weekdays, I read some chess games from time to time, Qingming is a hard learner, but she is embarrassed. You are too weak to be empty in the future, so it's good to come and play a game or two with me. ”

Cheng Zhilan hurriedly waved her hand: "Slaves and maids must not work, they have never been able to read music scores and dance scores, this black and white way is really like a book in heaven." ”

In response to Senior Sister's response, Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but smile. In the past, when he was still in Nanshu, his brother loved chess, saying that chess games were like battle games, and they needed to calculate the opponent's strategy before they could plan.

Thinking of his brother, his smile couldn't help but froze slightly.

The memory is still there, but the person is forever gone.

"Ah Wan, then you will accompany me more in the future," Shen Zhaorong said softly, "In the past few years, I have been used to being a pure person, but now it is suddenly lively, it is better to have this kind of time as before, quietly worshipping the Buddha and playing chess." ”

Pei Zhenwan nodded and asked, "Zhaorong said this, it seems that there are many people in Xuanming Palace in the past few days." ”

"Yes, concubine, concubine, there have been a lot of people walking around in the past two days. Zhang Meiren, the biological mother of the fourth prince, also came to sit for a while. ”

Cheng Zhilan was a little strange: "When this beauty lived in Yuxiang Palace in the past, she was not so diligent in moving, and since she went to Penglai Palace, she rarely went out by herself, how could she be so eager to see Zhaorong?" ”

"She has only been in the palace for more than two years, so naturally she has no friendship with me. It's just that she herself said that when she was pregnant in the past, she was assassinated and almost lost the fourth prince. I was apprehensive about this matter, and when I saw me, I felt a little kind. ”

When Shen Zhaorong said this, it was not a light and breezy state, but there was a faint sense of sadness.

Sympathy for the same disease, I will sigh.

Pei Zhenwan listened, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, whether Zhang Meiren had her own intentions, or Wei Guifei instructed her to win her over. If it was Zhang Meiren's own idea, what would she want?

"The actions of the concubine are one after another," Pei Zhenwan analyzed in her heart, but continued in her mouth, "Since Penglai Palace is so active, there must be a lot of contacts on the side of Zhengde Palace." ”

Shen Zhaorong shook his head: "Siqin came the day before yesterday and brought some rewards from the queen. Yesterday, I went to Zhengde Palace to thank me, but the queen's expression was still a little sallow, and she was also tired, and she couldn't take care of me for a while. ”

Pei Zhenwan couldn't help but be curious, how could Queen Xu be sick, thinking in her heart, her eyes unconsciously looked at Cheng Zhilan.

was brought up by the queen with one hand, and Cheng Zhilan was already one of the queen's henchmen.

"Don't look at me," Cheng Zhilan hurriedly waved her hand, "I've only been there once in the past few days, and I haven't seen the queen." ”

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just when it was so incomprehensible, there were a few whispers outside the hall, Shen Zhaorong asked, and Bai Lu came in and lowered his head to speak.

"'Zhaorong and the beauty go to Zhengde Palace, the queen fainted.'"

Fainted?

A few people couldn't help but be surprised, originally they just thought they were overworked, but now, I'm afraid it's sick!

hurried over, the imperial chariot had stopped outside the Zhengde Palace, and Concubine Liu Xian was already waiting outside.

Empress Xu's bedroom was confined, and only Concubine Liu Xian stood in the hall, waiting silently.

"Please concubine Xian." The two stepped forward and saluted, "I don't know what happened to the queen." ”

"Zhao Rong'an." Concubine Liu Xian hurriedly saluted, but looked at Pei Zhenwan and spoke, "How is the queen mother, we don't know in this palace, we only know that Your Majesty and the imperial doctor are inside, so I went to pass on the concubine." ”

Is that serious? Pei Zhenwan thought secretly in her heart.

In the past few days, Emperor Chen was in the Xuanzheng Palace, and several people in the center of the household department were implicated, and Emperor Chen did not allow them to speak out, so he personally reasoned. Such a big thing can make him let go of his hurry to see the queen, it seems that it is a bit serious.

Since Concubine Liu Xian didn't know, she could only wait.

Leaning slightly, Wei Guifei was late.

is still a graceful posture, hearing the news that the queen is not in good health, it is even more refreshing, and walking in like this, it is a little gorgeous.

"What's wrong with the queen, she called the concubines in this room to wait, and it looked strange and scary." Wei Guifei's phoenix eyes were slightly slanted, and she said lazily.

A few people saluted, but they couldn't say why.

Concubine Wei didn't come by herself, but was passed on by the emperor's edict, so naturally she didn't let her sit outside and eat tea from Zhengde Palace.

But what's the matter, you need Concubine Wei to wait obediently.

After chatting for a while, the door to the dormitory finally opened.

Emperor Chen, who was dressed in an ink-colored dragon pattern uniform, walked out with his hands behind his back. The crowd hurriedly curtsied.

"Your Majesty, is the queen mother okay?" Wei Guifei's identity is the most respectful here, so she naturally asked first.

Emperor Chen's gaze paused on her face, then glanced at Pei Zhenwan in the crowd, nodded and said, "It's not about life." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the mother of the country was sick, and for the harem, it was easy to make a mistake.

"The queen has been tired for the past two years." Emperor Chen said lightly, "I didn't pass on the imperial doctor, so it was a little serious." ”

Concubine Liu Xian dealt with it with a good temper: "If the queen needs to serve the sick, the definition of a concubine cannot be shirked. ”

But it was Emperor Chen who waved his hand and said to Concubine Wei: "The queen's body needs to be regulated, and the imperial doctor also said that she can't be tired and worried. During this time, the concubine acted as the agent for the affairs of the six palaces, and the concubine Xian assisted, you must be in peace and don't make trouble for the queen. ”
