It was night, dark and moonless.

'Hua' Jiu was in the room, looking out the window at the dark night sky, maybe she had been standing for a long time, a little cold, she turned around and put on a dress, and she didn't move like that.

At night in the palace, after the end of the day, it was still quiet, there was the palace lamp burning, and the 'flower' nine saw that there were moths from time to time resolutely fighting the fire, with a kind of fierce beauty, thrilling regardless of life and death, just for the warmth of the firelight, just like the persistence of the world.

By the time he arrived, even the palace 'women' who held the lamps were rare, and some of the palace lamps burned out and went out with a pop, leaving behind only the cold corpses of moths.

As if she had become a sculpture, she stood in front of the wooden window, maintaining this posture of looking out, her shadow cast into the place, stretched, and dissolved into the shadows and shadows, deep and shallow spots and mottled, and the whole room was empty without a trace of popularity.

Finally, at the end of the day, a sky-high flame burst up, tearing through the darkness and illuminating half of the night sky.

Here it comes!

'Hua' Jiu said in her heart, and a light rose from her pale pupils, reflecting the firelight, and there were really two fluttering flames burning in the depths of her eyes.

She knew that the queen had done it.

The direction of the firelight, when she was still at the 'flower' house, she heard someone talk about it, and it was Leng Gonglan Sealed Palace!

There were the voices of eunuchs and palace 'women' exclaiming, and then there were many footsteps from far away, and the 'chaos' shouting was so lively.

'Hua' Jiu's brows furrowed, she didn't understand why the queen targeted her, why did she burn the cold palace, and what did this cold palace have to do with her?

While she was thinking, Princess Min's voice sounded outside the 'door' of the room, "Ah Jiu, are you asleep?" ”

"Not yet," 'Hua' Jiu responded, and only then did she move her steps, stumbling under her feet, and almost didn't fall, but she had been standing for too long, and her 'legs' were so numb that she didn't feel it, "Princess, wait a minute." ”

She bent down and 'kneaded' herself, and after feeling better, she slowly opened the room 'door', "Princess, is there something?" ”

Princess Min squeezed in, closed the 'door' again, pulled 'Hua' Jiu to the wooden window, pointed in the direction of the cold palace and said, "You saw it?" ”

'Hua' Jiu nodded, "However, I don't understand, what does this have to do with me?" ”

Princess Min had a worried look on her face, "I don't know, but the queen will definitely not do useless things, so the only way to do this is to ask my aunt." ”

The two said that they would leave, although they felt that it was not good to quarrel like a concubine at this time, but there was no way to do it.

Fortunately, when the concubine was walking in the Lanfeng Palace, she was shouted by Liqing to get up, this time she was waiting for 'Hua' Jiu and Princess Min, seeing the two coming, a trace of 'color' flashed in her eyes Before the two of them asked, she said, "'Hua', I can't take care of your business." ”

When Princess Min heard this, her face changed greatly, "Auntie, why is this?" ”

There was frost on the nine faces of the 'flower', and she really couldn't figure out what the reason was in this cold palace that made Ru Guifei dare not care anymore.

For example, the concubine looked at the 'flower' nine, and there was a pity for the look, and after a while, she sighed and said faintly, "Do you know, who lives in the Lan Feng Palace?" If that person is okay tonight, if he dies, you will definitely die. ”

Knowing that the two of them didn't know anything, Ru Guifei even sent Liqing down, and when there were only three people in the entire hall, she said, "How many have you heard about Princess Yonghe's life experience, right?" ”

'Hua' Jiu was shocked, how could this matter have something to do with Princess Yonghe?

As the concubine continued, "It is rumored that Princess Yonghe is the mother of the current emperor, the Queen Mother, who was secretly born with someone 'privately', this matter is a secret in the palace, Princess Yonghe is indeed the Queen Mother's moral corruption, and the 'private' relationship with others was born, this is a stain on the heavenly family, the emperor can not erase it, but it can not be regarded as non-existent, since the Queen Mother gave birth to Princess Yonghe, the emperor invited the Queen Mother into the Lanfeng Palace, and since then it has been claimed that the Queen Mother died of a vicious illness, in fact, these years, the Queen Mother has been in the Lanfeng Palace for half a step. ”

"That, it's really beautiful," Ru Guifei said this, her eyes became distant, and she seemed to remember something from the past, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a Ming monarch like the first emperor do the thing of killing his brother and robbing his wife......"

"But aunt, what does this have to do with Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu has never entered the palace before." The more Princess Min listened, the more suspicious she became.

And 'Hua' Jiu had a certain light in her mind, and she faintly remembered the rumors about the Queen Mother, all of whom said that the Queen Mother was not only beautiful and charming, but also born with a strange fragrance, which attracted countless heroic men to bend their waists.

Sure enough, Ruguifei's next words confirmed the speculation of 'Hua' Jiu, "Originally, it had nothing to do with the 'Hua' clan, but what if that person was still fragrant?" Is this incense still related to the 'jade' clan? ”

Princess Min's eyes widened in surprise, she looked at Ruguifei and then at 'Hua' Jiu, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Dare to ask Niangniang, is the Queen Mother also the bloodline of the 'Jade' clan?" 'Hua' Jiu thought for a while before asking.

For example, the concubine's eyes flashed, and a deeper color precipitated under her eyes, and finally turned into a black "color" and "snow" flower, she spit out two words, "No." ”

'Hua' Jiu's eyes fell on the palace lamp, and she saw that if the concubine had concealed it, what was this concealment, she didn't know it for the time being, but she must not have told the truth, "Therefore, if the queen mother is lost, the emperor will definitely be angry with me, this is the queen's calculation." ”

"Yes," Ru Guifei said, "I didn't expect that she would be so bold as to move her mind to the Queen Mother, no matter how disgusted the emperor is, it will always be the Queen Mother." ”

'Hua' Jiu heard this, her heart was as bright as a mirror, of course the concubine would not go against the emperor for her, if the emperor was really angry, then no one could save her, she was naturally unwilling, but she would not sit still, "Then do you know what the queen mother has to do with the 'jade' clan?" ”

Ru Guifei shook her head, "This palace has told you everything she knows." ”

Can't get more useful, 'flower' nine stopped, she walked out of the hall, in the direction of the cold palace Lan Feng Palace, the fire has been controlled, there is black 'color' smoke everywhere, and occasionally there are sparks splashing, 'flower' nine knows that since the queen dares to make a move on the queen mother, the queen mother has no hope of living at all.

In the palace, Ruguifei glanced at 'Hua' Jiu, and saw that she didn't pay much attention before she said to Princess Min, "Mo Han, the emperor didn't come over last night, and the emperor was invited by the queen one step earlier, so ......"

Princess Min's face couldn't be more ugly, which means that she has lost even the last opportunity.

In less than half an hour, a small eunuch hurried to Chonghua Palace, and saw Rugui Concubine from a distance, and knelt on the ground with a pop and shouted, "Niangniang, that one is ......."

If the concubine didn't make a sound, her eyes fell on the 'flower' nine, only a moment of regret, and then it was indifferent, in the deep palace, the most common is the dead, the most ordinary is also the dead, she said to the little eunuch, "Where is the emperor?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor is outside the Lanfeng Palace." The little eunuch raised his head and wiped away a handful of tears.

If the concubine went out of the palace, she no longer greeted Princess Min and 'Hua' Jiu, but only said to the little eunuch, "Go to the Lan Feng Palace." ”

For example, the concubine took a few palace 'maids' and the little eunuch and disappeared, Princess Min stepped forward, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and finally had to say palely, "Ah Jiu, don't worry, the emperor Shengming, he will not ......"

Speaking of the back, Princess Min herself couldn't go on.

"The princess doesn't need to be comforted, Ah Jiu understands, "'Hua' Jiu is still so light-hearted, as if she doesn't care about her life or death," the princess just needs to remember the words that helped Ah Jiu bring Xi Qi. ”

After saying that, she left straight away, and went back to the room where the concubine had arranged for her to rest, she had to sleep for a while, and after a while, there was a battle of life and death waiting for her.

In such a situation, 'Hua' Jiu was more relieved than just now, as soon as she lay down on the 'bed', she really fell asleep.

Until the beginning of the time, Liqing came to call her, saying that the emperor and the queen and the concubine were waiting for her in the Chonghua Palace, and there was pity in her expression when she said this.

'Hua' Jiudang didn't see it, but he still politely thanked Liqing, and took care of his appearance before following Liqing to the Chonghua Palace.

Only when I arrived at the entrance of the hall 'door', I saw that there were 'attendants' with knives standing on both sides of the murderous awe, and through the open 'door', I could only see twelve 'women' screens blocking it, but the solemn atmosphere 'flower' nine felt it at the 'door'.

She took a deep breath, knowing that when she stepped in, it meant that life and death were not in her hands.

'Hua' Jiu heard that a eunuch had gone in to report, and then the sound of singing came out, "Announce the 'Hua' clan's visit!" ”

She put her hands on her waist and abdomen, lowered her head, took small steps, and followed the eunuch into the hall, and when she arrived in the hall, she paused, knelt down and shouted, "Xi 'Hua' clan see the emperor, the emperor Wan Fu Jin'an, Xi 'flower' clan see the queen's mother......"

After saluting in turn, she knelt on her forehead, and even her breathing slowed down, and there was no sound in the hall for a long time, except for the sound of 'Hua' Jiu just now, and the needle could be heard.

"'Hua', what are you guilty of?" The emperor didn't say anything, and the queen took the lead.

"'Hua', I don't know what the crime is." The action of 'Hua' Jiufu kneeling did not change, and the emperor did not call her to get up, so she naturally couldn't get up, but she still replied with a sound voice, not afraid at all.

"Hmph," the queen snorted coldly, "you are a descendant of the 'Jade' clan, and you are already a great crime. ”

'Hua' Jiu will let the queen speak, "The 'Hua' family has been surnamed 'Hua' since childhood, and the name is nine, which is the descendant of the century-old imperial merchant 'Hua' family, and the 'Hua' clan genealogy also has the name of 'Hua', so the 'Hua' family is the person of the 'Hua' family." ”

"Your biological mother's surname is 'Jade'?" The queen continued.

This problem cannot be denied by 'Hua' Jiu no matter what, "Yes, 'Hua' is a mother-in-law, surnamed 'Yu'." ”

"Then how are you not a descendant of the 'Jade' clan!" There was coldness and contempt in the queen's voice, as if she was 'getting' to kill the 'flower' nine, she disdained it but had to do it.

"'Hua' can't choose to be born with her parents, if the queen thinks that 'Hua' is a sinner because of the 'Hua' biological mother's surname 'Yu', then the 'Hua' family has nothing to say, but," 'Hua' Jiu paused here when she said this, and then she said in a louder voice, "What is the crime of knowing that it is 'Yu' surnamed 'Girl', but she prefers to marry as a wife?" ”

As soon as Hua' Jiu's words fell, she heard the sound of 'pumping' cold air in the hall, and no one seemed to expect her to be so bold.

"'Flower'," a mellow voice sounded, with a merciless coldness, "cut it!" ”
