Since learning that her mother's family was sentenced to hard labor and exiled to Northern Xinjiang, Concubine Xian's whole person has been sad and panicked, but what makes her even more frightened and unbelievable is that her own emperor, the third prince Shangguan Yongping, has also been restricted from freedom by Emperor Changtai, and she has not been able to exchange news with her for several days!

Originally, she was still thinking of discussing with the emperor how to rescue her mother's family, but the people from the palace gate bureau told her: The Third Highness has important matters and cannot enter the palace for the time being.

The news that his henchman and palace maid vaguely found out was: The emperor was angry with the Third Highness because of the Zhou family, and the Third Highness was reflecting in the Three Princes' Mansion, and he was not allowed to go out unless he was edicted.

What is the specific situation in the palace of the third prince, the henchmen and palace maids can't find out.

How can this be? Staying in the prince's palace for introspection, and not going out unless the edict is not allowed, isn't this a disguised captivity? How can this be? The emperor is a nobleman and a person who will inherit the throne in the future, how can he be imprisoned?

Concubine Xian's lips trembled, she couldn't speak, and her body couldn't stop shivering, how could this be? What to do? As soon as the Zhou family had an accident, Concubine Xian found that her ears and eyes in the harem were not well-informed, as if she was a deaf and blind person, and now her own emperor also had an accident, what should I do?

The virtuous concubine, who has always been accustomed to relying on her brother, was at a loss all of a sudden, if it weren't for the confidant palace maid who reminded her to come to Zichen Hall to intercede with Emperor Changtai, she would still be stupidly pacing in Yikun Palace.

In fact, Concubine Xian is not a stupid person, but her mother's family and the emperor have had accidents one after another, and these sudden changes have stunned her whole person, the so-called concern is chaotic, the blow is too big, and she hasn't reacted yet.

Yes, the emperor, go to the Zichen Palace to find the emperor, it was the emperor who ordered the emperor to reflect, and she went to the Zichen Palace to intercede. The emperor will definitely release the emperor, it must be so!

As if seeing the infinite light, Concubine Xian's eyes brightened suddenly, she didn't care about dressing up, so she hurried to the outside of the Zichen Palace, but she didn't expect that she couldn't step into the Zichen Hall at all.

The palace gate guard of the Zichen Palace. I have already received a decree: without the emperor's summons, the virtuous concubine is not allowed to enter the Zichen Palace. They are ordered to do things. Of course, Concubine Xian will be stopped to death, so no matter how Concubine Xian coerces and tempts, these guards dare not let go.

"Presumptuous! This palace is from a virtuous concubine, the emperor personally awarded the gold book seal, and you and other six-grade guards, dare to stop the palace? The main palace is going to go in now, so get out of the way quickly! ”

When Concubine Xian saw that these guards refused to let her in, she turned her heart on her face and returned to her former arrogance. shouted loudly, ignoring the weapons in front of her, step by step, insisting on forcibly breaking into the Zichen Palace.

The guards saw Concubine Xian's eyes gradually become frenzied, and they pursed their lips and approached them step by step, seeing that they were about to collide with the sword in their hands.

The guards had to take a sharp step back. secretly complained in their hearts, they wanted to stop the virtuous concubine from entering the Zichen Palace, but they didn't dare to hurt the dignified virtuous concubine.

Concubine Xian Niangniang is not afraid of death, what can they do?

Concubine Xian pressed forward step by step, the guards retreated step by step, and seeing that Concubine Xian was about to enter the Zichen Palace, she suddenly heard a sigh: "Niangniang, why is this difficult?" The emperor has made up his mind. Mother, please go back. ”

It turned out that Zhang Sheng, the leader of the inner chamberlain, had come to the door of Zichen Palace. Some guards had already seen that the situation outside the hall was critical, and they saw that they were out of control, so they hurriedly invited Zhang Sheng to deal with the situation.

"Mother, please go back, don't embarrass the minions. The emperor has an edict to ask the mother to return to Yikun Palace, and the emperor has his own decision. Seeing that Concubine Xian was stunned and silent, Zhang Sheng repeated the meaning again.

He felt a little pity when he saw that Concubine Xian's face was haggard and gloomy, and her disheveled sideburns did not match her usual gaudy and glamorous dress.

He knew that Concubine Xian was here for the affairs of the three princes, but the emperor was still angry, even if she was allowed to see the emperor? If the virtuous concubine insists on going in, it will only make the emperor more displeased, why bother?

"Get out of the way!" Concubine Xian shouted again, and took a step forward, even if Zhang Sheng came, she couldn't stop her from entering, for the sake of the emperor, she must go in!

She knew that Zhang Sheng dared to stop her, it must have been at the behest of Emperor Changtai, and the emperor didn't want to see her! In other words, he is determined to enclose the emperor in the Three Princes' Mansion.

How can this make the virtuous concubine who has always been high-minded accept it? Something has happened to her mother's family, her brother and nephew have been exiled to the north to serve hard labor, her emperor will definitely not have any more losses, she must see the emperor today, no one can stop her!

Zhang Sheng saw that Concubine Xian did not listen to the dissuasion, and said helplessly: "That is the case, then please forgive the mother, the slave is offended!" With that, he glanced behind him, and saw a large number of rough palace maids stepping forward and blocking the guards.

These rough palace maids are all thick and strong, blocking the progress of the virtuous concubine, but they will not cause her any damage.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Concubine Xian laughed. Xu was Zhang Sheng's refusal that Concubine Xian couldn't accept, and maybe Zhang Sheng's compassionate eyes stimulated her, she showed a mocking smile and said sharply: "Offended? A mere slave dares to say the word offended in front of this palace? Licentious! ”

She was sad in her heart at first, and then felt a burst of despair, she didn't expect Emperor Changtai to be so cold, that is his emperor, it is his blood and bones!

After laughing, she then cried, tears flowed down her kneel straight outside the Zichen Palace, since she couldn't go in, then she had been waiting outside the hall, waiting for the emperor to go to the early court tomorrow morning, in short, she must see the emperor!

Even if she knew that this move would touch the emperor's scales, she would not hesitate to do so, for the sake of the emperor, she must kneel here, she has no other way to think of it!

"Your Majesty, the Zhou family is wronged! What does the emperor need to reflect on? Your Majesty, you must not listen to the villain's slander and be deceived by the villain! Emperor! ”

"Your Majesty, you don't think about the ancestors of the Zhou family who followed Emperor Cheng Qian, but also for the sake of the Zhou family who have been loyal for so many years, be clear! For the sake of the concubines who have served the emperor for decades, let the emperor come out! ”

"Your Majesty, you said to me back then: When you grow old, you live up to your chances, Your Majesty, why don't you remember? Emperor! I'm Yan'er, the emperor, I want to see the emperor! ”

"Zhicheng, do you really need to pay attention to Concubine Xian? It's not a way to kneel down. Besides, Chief Zhang came to report just now, Concubine Xian was crying and scolding outside the hall, and the impact was not good, so it was better for you to meet her......" In the Zichen Palace, Concubine Rong listened to a long howl from outside, and said softly to Emperor Changtai.

"Needless to say! Let her kneel! The third child dared to smuggle weapons, it was simply bold! He dared to smuggle bows and crossbows from the Crossbow Workshop Department, what else did he not dare to do? I haven't collapsed yet! ”

As soon as he thought of the large number of bows and crossbows presented by Dali Temple, Emperor Changtai was so angry that he didn't think he would really have a part in the matter of the crossbow workshop last year!

Such an unfaithful and unfilial son, Concubine Xian still wants to intercede for him? As soon as he thought of Concubine Xian kneeling to threaten him, Emperor Changtai felt that all the anger in his body had come up.

This is already the second time! Last time, she knelt outside the Zichen Hall for the Zhou family's interrogation, and now she is doing it again, and he will never tolerate it.

"What a white-haired Qingqing, I've never said anything like that!" Hearing Concubine Xian shouting about the events of the year, Emperor Changtai felt that it was unbearable.

"You are discouraged. Concubine Xian didn't know that it was for his good that you asked His Royal Highness to reflect, and Concubine Xian was also a beloved son...... Besides, the emperor has no clear will, so it is natural that Concubine Xian will be anxious. Concubine Rong continued to say softly, and she didn't know if she was really interceding for Concubine Xian or if she had other deep meanings.

After hearing her words, Emperor Changtai became even more angry, but he also suppressed his anger and stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

When Concubine Rong saw Emperor Changtai's appearance, she also knew that she would accept it when she saw it, and no longer mentioned the matter of Concubine Xian kneeling outside the Zichen Palace. She began to think of some interesting words to amuse Emperor Changtai, but she was also a little in a trance, listening to Concubine Xian's mournful shouts, for some reason, Concubine Rong felt a little unbearable in her heart, perhaps, this is the sadness of the rabbit and the fox?

"Is Concubine Xian still kneeling outside the Zichen Palace?" In the Chaotun Palace, Concubine Mu instructed the green kite to remove the pearl hairpin on her head, looked at the dark night outside the window, and asked lightly.

"Back to my master, yes. Concubine Xian was still kneeling, but she no longer shouted loudly. Thinking that the long howl of the whole afternoon had drained her energy. The little palace maid came to report and said that she had approached the Zichen Palace, and she could still hear what the virtuous concubine was talking about. ”

The green kite put Concubine Mu's pearl hairpins one by one and replied.

"Chunhua is exchanged for silver butterflies, and the beautiful women are old. How could the emperor still remember the affection of the year? The more she said this, the more angry the emperor became. Listening to the words of the green kite, Concubine Mu sighed a little.

She didn't know if Concubine Xian was not smart in the first place, or if she was stupid by these mutations, and she ran to Zichen Hall to kneel knowing that the emperor was angry.

Doesn't she know? The emperor is the emperor first, and then the father-in-law, how can he try to impress him with love? The more she talks about the affection of the year, the more the emperor will remember how the Zhou family betrayed him, and in this way, the situation of the three princes will be even worse.

Sure enough, Concubine Mu's guess was not wrong, when Concubine Xian couldn't support it and fainted outside the Zichen Palace, Emperor Changtai also issued a decree in the Xuanzheng Palace: "The third prince has misbehaved, and he is ordered to reflect in the prince's mansion, and he is not allowed to go out unless he is edicted." The ministers and workers are not state-owned affairs, and they must not be disturbed without authorization! ”

It's a brief message, but it's a big statement. The will does not clearly say what the three princes have committed and why they should reflect on it.

Misconduct? What is misconduct? The officials of the four departments who investigated the Dengwen drum incident vaguely understood that the third prince was dragged down by the Zhou family, and originally thought that the emperor's order to bypass the third prince's smuggling of weapons was to protect him, but now this is not the case.

The courtiers don't know the real reason for Emperor Changtai's decree, but they all know: The emperor is going to ban the three princes! Don't go in or out, everything in the court has nothing to do with the three princes from now on, and the three princes have finished playing!

As soon as Emperor Changtai's will came out, the faces of the courtiers changed a lot, and the direction of Jingzhao was about to change greatly.
