The ancestral tablet hall is located on the south side of the gate in the palace, sitting north and facing south towards the south gate, leaving a passage for the ancestors to enter and exit. The south door has always been rarely entered, and although only the ancestral tablets are placed in the hall, there are still gusts of wind blowing, making people shudder.

The injuries on Bao Xi's body were just right, but now she is weak, and the vigil of the past few days has made her cough incessantly, like a chill into her lungs, and the whole person has lost weight again, looking so pitiful. Fortunately, the two months passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the entire capital city was lively because of the princes of the previous year's tribute, and the market was formed, and the sound of selling was full every day.

Zheng Boyou is in the three-year filial piety period, a white dress swaying left and right with the autumn breeze, his posture is upright, the whole person is thin but full of energy, full of energy, full of smiles, his eyes are still gentle and rippling like autumn water, and there is no slightest anger between his eyebrows, and he is still as polite as a scholar.

It's just that the whole person seems to be preoccupied and unhappy.

"Zheng Situ." Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and was stunned, and then took a step in his direction.

"Niangniang," Zheng Boyou said to Bao Xi's luggage.

"Uncle Zheng's funeral went well, right?" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou in an official tone and asked, he nodded, "It's not going well, I heard that Mrs. Zheng ...... after I left."

"Mrs. Zheng's mother and son are safe." Bao Xi interrupted Zheng Boyou's words and said first. On that day, Mrs. Zheng went all the way from the Xiande Hall to the Qiongtai Palace, but no one was seen on the way, and I don't know if it was her luck or the luck of the king.

Mrs. Qin is now busy collecting evidence of the intersection between Shenhou and Dog Rong, and the whole person is caught in the diplomatic strategy of vain and grievance with Shenhou, while Shenhou is busy with the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens that will start immediately, according to the Zhou system, the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens is jointly presided over by the king and the queen, and the king is a fundamentally unreliable person, which has been recognized by the whole country.

"I thought," Zheng Boyou sighed as she watched Bao Xi say half of her words, and then smiled at Bao Xi to show her gratitude for being able to tell her the news.

"Now that Mrs. Zheng is in the Xiande Palace, the king takes good care of her, so Zheng Situ doesn't have to worry." Bao Xi said.

Zheng Boyou nodded, he had already been to Huachen Palace, and the people in Huachen Hall told him that Mrs. Zheng was now living in the Xiande Palace, and no one was allowed to disturb him, so even his brother couldn't see his sister's side.

Ji Gongyan let out the wind and said that the child in Mrs. Zheng's womb was not saved, and the people in the harem did not have any suspicions, but they did not go to the East Palace for half a year to meet in the end or made Shen Hou a little displeased, this matter is like drinking water to quench her thirst, and now this trick not only stabilizes the heart of the woman who is about to move in the harem, but also stabilizes Shen Hou, who is thousands of miles away, but I am afraid that once Mrs. Zheng's child is born, it will be punished a lot, and maybe there will be a risk of life.

Mrs. Zheng will be struggling in the future, and she knows this. It is precisely because of this that she will agree to Ji Gongyan to go to the Xiande Hall every now and then to accompany Mrs. Zheng, but Mrs. Zheng is not as useless as the world imagined after all, with the gradually bulging belly, her sad face is not showing up day by day, as if there are not a few days to live.

Previously, Bao Xi went to visit the Xiande Palace, and Mrs. Zheng could still say some sympathetic words, promising to help Bao Xi say some good things in front of the king, but in the past few days, she has put this sympathy on herself, and she has felt sorry for herself, and often asks Bao Xi if she can live in the heart of the king if she dies.

Bao Xi couldn't bear to answer, but just said relief.

"Zheng asked his mother to give Mrs. Zheng something on his behalf." Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and pleaded.

Bao Xi nodded, and Zheng Boyou handed over a jasper ring on his body to Bao Xi, "This is my father's favorite ring, please help Zheng transfer it on his behalf." ”

"Mrs. Zheng asked, what should I say?" Bao Xi asked, looking at the jasper ring that was placed in her hand.

"What?" Zheng Boyou was a little puzzled, Bao Xi suddenly raised his head and remembered something, paused and sighed, "Mrs. Zheng still doesn't know the news of Zheng Bo's death, and she hasn't gotten any news about Zheng Situ's younger brother going to fight in Qi State." The king was worried that Mrs. Zheng was too worried and not conducive to production, so he kept hiding it! ”

"The king bothered," Zheng Boyou said, smiling stiffly, "Then it is a congratulatory gift from her father, right?" ”

"Madame Zheng probably wants to meet the father who sent the Sui Gong to Beijing, right?" Bao Xi speculated.

"Let's just say that my father is sick and it's inconvenient to leave, right?" Zheng Boyou let out a long sigh after speaking, and he had to think of a reason.

"Zheng Situ doesn't seem to be doing well in Zheng Guo?" Bao Xi asked.

Zheng Boyou smiled reluctantly, didn't answer Bao Xi's words, but asked, "Niangniang's injuries are all healed now, right?" ”

Bao Xi nodded.

"I heard that I almost lost my life," Zheng Boyou asked.

"Yes," replied Bao Xi.

"Mrs. Zheng's miscarriage, the king blames you?" Zheng Boyou asked, "Sangzhu still ...... in the end" He shook his head after speaking, knowing that this matter can't be too harsh on Bao Xi, after all, everyone is here to live, if Sang Zhu is not dead, he is afraid that he will die, and he feels that the current ending is still appropriate compared to him.

"I'm sorry," Bao said.

"If you die, the king will never know that you made this decision because you love him." Zheng Situ said that the words that Bao Xi said that day were still in her ears, she said that she didn't want Ji Gongyan to be in a dilemma, and she didn't want him to threaten the ministers and make herself lose her prestige in the court, and finally the decree was difficult to implement.

"He'll never know," Bao Xi shook her head.

"Is it worth it?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"Is this kind of thing worth it or not?" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, pursing his lips very gently, "If Zheng Situ loves someone, will he care if he can get something in return?" ”

"No, it won't." Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and said.

"Neither will you," replied Bao.

"Why, then, did you turn the king away from the king so many times to take over this fasting errand?" Zheng Boyou asked, everyone thought that Bao Xi was willing to keep the ancestor's spirit card in order to avoid Ji Gongyan's favor, they all thought that Bao Xi was extremely cold, even if she spent more than a year in the cold palace, she was unwilling to compromise, she was a woman who would rather be broken than broken, which seemed to be believed by everyone from the moment she appeared.

"If I don't do this, sooner or later the king will find himself in a dilemma, and I have no one to support me in the court, so I have to avoid it." Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and explained, "Since he wants to praise me, he shouldn't feel distressed when he kills me, but now he is reluctant, I can't help but think more about him." If he is harsh in the harem, the courtiers are embarrassed, and the king wants to seek support, what I can do is to retreat again and again, at least not to become the handle of the ministers to blackmail the king. ”

"Niangniang, please rest assured, Zheng Guo is willing to be sent." Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and said, this made Bao Xi stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng Boyou, in the end, no matter how dissatisfied he was with her, he always only took his anger on her alone, and never used the power of the court's ministers to influence the behavior of the king.

"No need, since I can escape from the calamity of the demon concubine, I will be able to live a safe life." Bao Xi said lightly, pinching the ring in his hand, "It's not too early, I still have to go to the Xiande Hall to visit Mrs. Zheng, if I delay my rest, I will snub the ancestors at night, but I am afraid that the prayer for the king's daily blessing will not work." When she said this, her eyes were cold, and the coldness in her eyes filled a hot heart, which calmed down a mood that was about to be agitated.

"Niangniang, don't get me wrong, Zheng Guo is not under my control now." Zheng Boyou explained.

This is not surprising, if Zheng Qizhi had not been used this time, maybe Ji Gongyan would have hoped that he would be able to manipulate the regime in Zheng Guo and realize their ambitions unconsciously, in the end, this game of chess was still disrupted by Shenhou, he has long ceased to be in the middle of the court but is still influencing Ji Gongyan's control, it can't be said that he is not a talent!

"After all, Zheng Situ is the Situ of the DPRK," Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "He will return to Beijing in the future, and he will still have to perform his duties." ”

"Yes!" Zheng Boyou nodded.

"That's it," said Bao Xi, "Bao Xi took his leave." After saying that, she turned around and walked in the direction of the Xiande Palace, the jade ring in her hand seemed to sink a little, she turned her back to Zheng Boyou and sighed softly, and walked farther and farther. But Zheng Boyou kept watching Bao Xi's figure, and only turned around and left the Zhou Palace until he disappeared at the end of the palace, and returned to his Situ Mansion, Uncle Zhao brought some time and asked to meet Zheng Boyou.

Pickaxe in the capital scattered rain flowers, the city quickly fell into a dark atmosphere, although it is the early dynasty has just ended, but it has been depressed like the evening, Zheng Boyou entered the house to dust off the rain, the next person came to report, "Zhao Gong came as soon as the morning came, I said that the lord went to the palace, he has been waiting in the hall." ”

"Zhao Gong?" Zheng Boyou repeated to himself, nodded to Xiren, and strode towards the direction of the front hall, Uncle Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the ground and playing against himself with Zheng Boyou's Go, and when he heard the footsteps, he didn't even look back, and asked, "Zheng Situ is going to visit Mrs. Zheng in the palace." ”

"Exactly." Zheng Boyou said.

"I'm afraid it's going to be in vain, right?" Uncle Zhao asked.

"Not exactly," replied Mr. Zheng.

"Oh?" Uncle Zhao pondered for a long time, then nodded and dropped a black chess piece, "Zheng Situ and Bao Niangniang should go away more safely." ”

"Just ask the lady for something." Zheng Boyou said.

"Zheng Situ might as well ask me to enter the palace next time to ask Niangniang," Uncle Zhao threw the chess pieces into the chess frame, took off the black and white pieces on the chessboard one by one, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and turned to Zheng Boyou, "Now that Niangniang has become the favorite concubine of the king, Zheng Situ is still a little shy about it." ”

"The king should have been ready to get rid of me, right?" Zheng Boyou said in a stiff tone, the relationship with Uncle Zhao is long gone, "Now I have given the king an excellent reason." ”

"Zheng Situ and Niangniang are always innocent, right?" Uncle Zhao said, "In the past three months, the king has been rejected by his mother several times, which is a precedent that has not been opened in the harem of the Zhou Dynasty. The implication of this sentence is that if Zheng Boyou and Bao Xi get too close, it will arouse Ji Gongyan's jealousy, and it is not impossible to kill Bao Xi.
