And so on, it is dark.

Cen Muning didn't wait for Zhuang Chenchen to come over, and heard that it was Concubine Ying who shouted that she was not happy, and drove up to Fengluan Hall halfway.

"The early concubine made a fuss in our palace, and it will be a fuss again now." Qingli said angrily: "Isn't it just to conceive a child?" I really take myself seriously. ”

"Don't say that again." Cen Muning interrupted her: "After all, this is the emperor's first child, and it is also appropriate for the palace to care about it." Moreover, Concubine Ying also took care of the queen mother's phoenix body during pregnancy, which was indeed hard work, and the evaluation of her from outside was also good. It doesn't hurt for her to be hypocritical in the harem, and it's just a matter of inviting the emperor a few more times. ”

Bingling didn't make a sound, and calculated in his heart. In fact, these days, the number of times the emperor went to see Concubine Ying was only a handful. I didn't seem to pay much attention to this first child.

But it's good to know these words in your heart. "Niangniang, the slave maid will go and see if the medicine for recuperation is ready, so I will bring it to you."

"Hmm." Cen Muning had to listen to Helian's words, and Helian came over to ask her for a pulse, write a prescription, and prescribe a bunch of medicines for her to recuperate. Whether it is really effective or not, she can't tell, but for the sake of the ears and roots, she will still take the medicine on time.

"Niangniang, aren't you really angry?" Qingli looked at Cen Muning extremely calmly, and couldn't help but be strange. "Isn't that concubine trying her best to hook up with her master, just to compete with you for favor? Can you really do nothing and just tolerate her? ”

Cen Muning smiled slightly, and said quietly: "The women of this harem enter the palace for only one purpose, and that is for grace. It's good to get used to it. ”

Qingli nodded and shook his head again: "Niangniang, the slave maid feels that grace and kindness are two different things. The master and the mother are the deep love of the plaice, for them, it can only be grace, pet, no matter how beautiful it is, it is only temporary. The master will not be affectionate to them. ”

Looking at Qingli's serious appearance, Cen Muning almost believed it.

Bingling came in in a hurry at this time, and his face was very bad. "Mother, something happened."

Hearing the three words that something had happened, Qingli's heart chuckled, and his face changed instantly. "What's wrong?"

"You speak slowly." Cen Mu froze and looked at her with a frown.

"News from the prison, the major general has escaped from prison." Bingling is worried.

"Prison break?" Cen Muning was confused: "How could he suddenly escape from prison, what is the place in the prison, so many Yulin guards guarded it, how can it be easy to escape?" ”

Bingling's face was solemn, and he took two steps forward before saying, "There are foreign aid who entered the prison and rescued the young general." ”

Hearing her say this, Cen Muning was silent.

There was foreign aid entering the palace to rescue the prisoners, and this thing sounded so unbelievable. Not to mention that Chu Peiyuan is not in danger at all in the palace, even if there is, her uncle has already entered the palace to intercede, she also nodded, the emperor is about to agree, why do you do such a thing at this time? Isn't it too incredible!

"Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived!" Before Ming Qing's voice fell, the familiar figure had already walked in.

Cen Muning hurriedly got up and saluted Zhuang Chenchen: "Your Majesty, my uncle entered the palace today to ask for your mercy and release Chu Peiyuan." The concubine also went to ask you for a favor at noon, and although you did not agree, you did not rush to reject the concubine's plea, and at least there was half hope. Since the matter has not yet been settled, there is no need for the Chu family to deal with it in such a hurry, let alone do such a rebellious thing to ruin the reputation of the Chu family's loyal ministers for hundreds of years. ”

It was the first time for Zhuang Chenchen to see Cen Muning so flustered. It turns out that there will be times when she can't hide her fear.

"So who does the queen think did it?" He just wanted to hear what she had to say.

"Concubine......" Cen Mooning frowned, and it took a long time before she said: "The concubine doesn't know who moved such a mind." It's just that the concubine thinks that whether it is the Chu family or the concubine herself, she will definitely be implicated in this matter. Early tomorrow morning, if Chu Peiyuan can't be found and the whole thing is investigated, I'm afraid that the turmoil of the previous dynasty will spread to Fengling Palace. ”

The last sentence is right, and Zhuang Chenchen also thinks so.

"I have already ordered to go down and track down Chu Peiyuan's whereabouts as soon as possible. Inevitably, there is something missing, I also let people monitor the entire Chu Mansion, as well as those who are related to the Chu family and have frequent contacts, are also under surveillance. "It is necessary for Zhuang to let her know his arrangement.

"Your Majesty." Cen Muning saluted him: "The relationship between the concubine and the Chu family is too dense, presumably someone will definitely burn this fire to the Fengling Palace." Concubines...... I don't want to bother the emperor, if Chu Peiyuan is still not found before the court tomorrow morning, the concubine begs the emperor to confine the concubine to Fengling Palace. ”

"Queen Mother......" Qingli stepped forward, trying to stop her from this idea.

Cen Mooning glanced back at her and motioned for her to be silent. Then he turned to Zhuang Chenchen and said: "The concubines are grounded, which can block the mouths of the courtiers and not embarrass the emperor." It can also keep the concubines out of the matter and not be affected by the affairs of the Chu family. Moreover, once the concubine cuts off the connection with the Chu family here, if there is any chaos in the future, the Chu family will not be accused of colluding with the concubine, and it will finally be able to calm down a little turmoil. Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it. ”

Qingli only understood the queen's hard work at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, if the queen was grounded at this time, the concubines in the harem would not know how to laugh shamefully. Thinking of those hateful faces of foxes, Qingli felt uncomfortable. But when the catastrophe comes, I can't care about that much. You can only get through the difficulties in front of you first, and then it's not too late to think about anything else.

"Okay." Zhuang Chenchen praised slightly, but did not say much.

At this time, she was still rational and thoughtful after all.

Zhuang Chenchen could feel that these things were directed at the Chu family, but this might not involve her behind it, and she was a little surprised. What kind of person is it that has such the ability to rob the important prisoners of the Heavenly Prison in the hands of his Yu Linwei.

"Queen." Zhuang Chenchen suddenly spoke.

"What does the emperor command?" Cen Mu looked at him with a condensed brow.

"Do you think I would have granted your request if it hadn't been for that?"

Cen Mu Ning looked at his deep gaze, like a faint star in the starry sky. It's unpredictable. "The concubines don't dare to speculate on the holy will."

"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen snorted coldly: "Tell the truth!" ”

"The concubine thought that the emperor might agree to the concubine." Cen Muning frowned and said: "Uncle wants to take his cousin to the west, just because he wants my cousin to recognize his mistakes and make up for his mistakes." My cousin fell in love, and he was confused and fell in love for a while, so he collided with the concubine and broke the rules of the palace, but because of this, he was drugged and almost did something out of the ordinary and died...... It shows that the palace is not a safe place either. ”

Cen Muning deliberately reminded Zhuang Chenchen that it was not difficult for someone to poison Chu Peiyuan in the prison and save him from the prison.

These words really reminded Zhuang Chen: "I still have something." ”

"Yes." Cen Mooning saluted him respectfully: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”

"Who the hell is it?" Cen Mu stared at Zhuang Chen's departing figure and muttered to himself. Looking at this palace, I am afraid that the one who hates her the most is the queen mother. But the people she secretly planted next to the Queen Mother did not give any feedback. The Queen Mother's injuries were not light, and she lost Zhuang Chen's trust, so it is said that it is difficult to do this kind of thing at this time. After all, Concubine Ying is just a servant who is carried by her, and she has no ability to call the wind and rain at all.

So, who is it exactly?

"Niangniang, the slave always feels that something is wrong." Bingling couldn't tell what was going on, but looking at Qingli, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden. "Niangniang, why is the matter of the young general being poisoned last time? The emperor didn't seem to mention it. If this matter is to be dealt with, it must be the emperor's cronies. ”

"I'll ask Yin Li." Qingli didn't want to see him more, but this time, it seems that he can't see him. "Niangniang, let the slave and maid follow Yin Li to check. If you find anything, you will be notified in a timely manner. ”

"Okay." Cen Mooning nodded: "But you have to remember that you only assisted Yin Li in investigating this matter thoroughly." He is under the orders of the emperor, if you disagree, you must not act willfully. ”

"Yes." Qingli nodded his head: "The slave and maid will go." ”

Bingling watched her leave, and then frowned and said, "Miss, the slave always feels that Yin Li will definitely handle the poisoning." But even the emperor seems to have forgotten about it, isn't it too strange? ”

"It's strange that you say that." Cen Mu thought for a moment, and sighed softly: "The most important thing now is to find Chu Peiyuan's whereabouts." It's not a good thing for him to be out there alone. It is unknown who the other party is, whether it will kill someone, let alone know. I'm afraid that this is the worst outcome. ”

If Chu Peiyuan dies, in the words of his uncle, the most promising man in the Chu family is gone, and the Chu family seems to have been cut off by someone, and it is really in danger.

"Miss, if you want a slave, send someone to find it, and our people will have a better chance of winning if they want to." Bingling asked in a low voice.

"Don't." Cen Mooning shook his head again and again: "The emperor's people, the Chu family's people, will all make a move." At this time, all we can do is wait. Maybe that's what happened to us. It's not a wise thing to do to show your strength. ”

"What Miss means is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, but we should not act rashly." Bingling thought about it and nodded again and again: "Then let's see what the situation is tomorrow morning and then think about it in the long run." It's just that...... The slave was worried that the young general might be in trouble. ”

"That's what he did, too." Cen Muning sighed: "Affectionate and hateful since ancient times, I still don't believe that Qu Yu is sincere to him." It's just that he himself is trapped in it and can't save himself. ”

At this time, did Chu Peiyuan come to his senses? Cen Mooning walked to the window and pushed open the window lattice. The night breeze in early spring is still so cold and so cool that it is unbearable.
