Coming out of the Fengling Palace, Cang Lian only felt that he had been fooled again.

How can you be easily trapped by the queen in this game. But it doesn't matter, just ask a few grandmothers to guide the rules. Knowing that she is the emperor's favorite concubine, who dares to be so blind-eyed and unhappy to find her.

But what makes her feel stuffy is that makes her uncomfortable. I can't swallow this breath.

"Niangniang, look ahead." Jingqiao Shao must not be reminded.

Cang Lian only took care of it at this time. It turned out that Princess Ziyang's chariot had not yet left. I didn't rush over, but moved over step by step, pretending to be elegant.

It wasn't until they got close that the curtain of the chariot was lifted.

Ziyang looked at the bright and moving pity, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "I heard that the husband of this palace died at your hands?" ”

This sentence made Cang Lian understand her true intention of entering the palace this time. "Where did the princess hear the gossip, but it wasn't true."

"At the beginning, someone gave the princess Mingben, and the husband raised an outer room outside." Ziyang sighed, and there was helplessness in his tone: "This princess is very curious, what kind of woman can take away the heart of this princess's husband." It turned out to be you! ”

"Princess, don't listen to those villains chewing behind their backs. Now the concubine is the emperor's concubine, and the innocence of the concubine is related to the emperor's reputation. As for who poisoned the forehead, it is up to the princess to find out. Cang Lian hooked her lips slightly: "In front of the queen, the princess didn't say a word about this matter, which shows that the princess knows the most." The concubine dared to say more, and this matter was the best so far. The princess doesn't need to mention it again. ”

"What do you mean, the palace is now outside the palace, and there is no ability to pay attention to the affairs of the harem?" Ziyang couldn't help but sneer when he heard her words. "I didn't mention it, so naturally I have my reasons. But you want me not to pursue it, dreaming! My man, even if he dies, can only die in my hands, otherwise, whoever wants his life, I will avenge him. Do you like to be in charge of the palace so much? I'm just looking for a reason to make you uncomfortable. ”

After saying that, the corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a smug smile. "Let's go."

The curtain was lowered, and the chariot drove in the direction of the palace gate.

The cold sweat on Jingqiao's forehead was as big as a bean: "Niangniang, how is this good?" Princess Ziyang still has a hatred of revenge, presumably it won't be so easy. Who gave the idea to the queen to enter the palace to expose the conspiracy of the queen mother? This person clearly wants to harm you. Good sinister means. ”

"Don't talk about it." The heart of mercy is as uncomfortable as an insect biting. "The people who are enemies of this palace today, this palace will not let go of any of them. Whether it is a queen or a princess, whoever stops the palace from soaring will have to pay the price. Wait and see! ”

In the inner hall, Qingli and Bingling hurriedly changed the queen's clothes and makeup. Both of them were very worried, and they asked the queen if she was injured.

"Isn't that what I'm doing?" Cen Muning smiled slightly: "This time out of the palace is finally in danger, and there are other gains." I'm glad I went, and I did my best to turn the situation around before the emperor made a decision...... Just ......"

"Is the master angry with his mother?" Qingli asked uneasily.

"Naturally, it's angry." Cen Muning sighed lightly: "But this time it also made me understand...... Even if he is as wise and resolute as the emperor and controls the world, he has weaknesses that cannot be concealed, which shows that everyone has their own weaknesses. And my biggest weakness is that I am soft-hearted, and I can't always let go of those people and things related to my rest. ”

"Human beings are naturally weak." Bingling hurriedly said: "It's because Niangniang has kindness in her heart that she disdains to do those pickled things." will also govern the harem with good thoughts and share worries for the emperor. Isn't that superb? There is nothing wrong with that. ”

"One day, what if I want to go against the sky and do something that the emperor can't condone?" Cen Muning looked into Bingling's eyes and asked, "The emperor must be prescribing the right medicine according to my weakness." ”

"Niangniang, what do you mean by that?" Qingli looked confused: "The emperor is indeed deceived by traitors now, and thinks she is a good person." But one day, the emperor will see her face clearly like you, and when the time comes, not only will he not think you are wrong, but will help you deal with the enemy. The slave believed that this must be the way it would end. ”

"I hope so." Cen Mooning drank a cup of hot tea, and her body was much more comfortable. "I have been running around for the past few days, thanks to Yin Li's thoughtful escort. If it weren't for Princess Ziyang's sudden visit, which disrupted the plan, I originally wanted you to go out of the palace to give him a ride, so I could talk. But the war outside was tight, and he couldn't delay, so he left first. ”

"It doesn't matter." Qingli smiled slightly: "It's good that the slave knows that he thinks about me." ”

"Naturally, I'm thinking about you." Cen Muning brought the letterhead that Yin Li gave her: "Go back and take a look for yourself." ”

"Thank you, Queen." Qingli's face was hot, and he said shyly: "The slave will go and pour you tea." ”

After bringing the tea, Qingli returned to his usual complexion: "This time, Concubine Lian and Princess Ziyang trespassed into the Fengling Palace, and the mother just gave up." Princess Ziyang is just looking for some grandmothers to teach Concubine Pian, which is really cheap for her. ”

"There are so many cheap things in this world." Bingling knew it.

"Sister Bingling has another opinion?" Qingli asked with some doubts.

"The mother and son of the abolished emperor used to love this princess Ziyang the most. Princess Ziyang's scenery at that time was even worse than that of the queen of the abolished emperor. Those grandmothers, who she can use now, must be loyal to their old slaves. Bingling thought for a moment and continued: "Young General Chu, Princess Ziyang's forehead died in the hands of Concubine Pian, and I'm afraid that this news has already spread and reached the princess's ears. Even if the emperor used some means to beautify the matter to the outside world, he also covered it up, but I am afraid that the princess will not believe it at all. When she entered the palace, it seemed that she was here to persecute the queen's mother, but from beginning to end, she didn't do anything ridiculous, but instead came in with the concubine. If the queen is really not in the palace, the princess will cover up the past, but the concubine will not be so lucky. ”

"I see." A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Qingli's eyes: "Princess Kechun is a drunkard, not in wine, obviously to avenge her husband, so she entered the palace." ”

Cen Muning didn't say anything, she didn't want to expose the fact that Chu Peiyuan was not dead for the time being. One is related to the war outside, and the other is also her selfishness. In the future, the Chu family will inevitably be disposed of, and one can be preserved. ”

"Queen Mother......" Ming Qing came in panting and knelt straight in front of the queen.

At this time, Bingling put on a hairpin for the queen, and when he came in recklessly, he couldn't help but be angry.

"The queen mother has not given permission, why did you break in by recklessness? Could it be that you have also learned the way of the concubine? ”

"Minions deserve to die." Ming and Qing kowtowed heavily, and their voices trembled: "The queen mother forgives her sins...... It was really the vice court's judgment that sent the news and said...... It's not okay to say that the protector is afraid. Ask the queen to meet her. ”

"What." Cen Muning's heart jumped suddenly, and her face turned pale in a flash.

"Bingling, hurry up and prepare the car." When Cen Muning stood up, her eyes were dark, and she was supported by the green plow.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, not necessarily. The slave and maid went to call Doctor Hu to go with her. Maybe there will be a turnaround. Qingli hurriedly relieved.

"It's fine." Cen Muning's heart was very confused. Didn't say a word along the way. What flashed in my mind was the care of my grandfather and grandmother when I returned home with my mother in the past. My grandmother became seriously ill shortly after her mother's death and left less than a year later.

Right now, I'm afraid I can't even keep my grandfather. This kind of fear spreads from the heart to the whole body, and it is a special helplessness.

"The Queen." Helian greeted him outside the gate of the mansion with an eager face: "Weichen will lead you in." ”

Bai Shuo also got down from the carriage behind him and hurried into the inner room of the apse with them. In the apse, there were people kneeling in the Chu Mansion. The women's weeping was as uncomfortable as hot oil.

"What are you crying about?" Cen Muning said unhappily: "Don't shut up yet." ”

There was silence outside for a while, and then she continued to walk inside.

On the side of the bed in the room, accompanied by two young generals who were transferred back from the Chu family. are also Cen Muning's cousins.

"Grandfather." Cen Mu couldn't talk to them, walked straight to the side of the bed, and held the trembling hand of the Protector. "Mu Ning is not filial, Mu Ning is late."

"Good boy......" The protector said these three words with difficulty, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

"I want to talk to my grandfather." Cen Mooning winked at Bingling.

"Yes." Bingling immediately invited everyone in the room out and closed the door with Qingli.

"Grandfather, Mu Ning has already solved this matter." Cen Muning held his hand and burst into tears: "Zhongnan, as long as my uncle captures Zhongnan for the emperor, the soldiers will not tire of deceit, this is a good plan for the emperor to join forces with the Chu family's monarchs and ministers." ”

"When...... Seriously? The weak voice of the Protector seemed to be blown away before it reached Cen Muning's ears.

"Seriously." Cen Mu Ning nodded vigorously: "Mu Ning did her best to never let the Chu family have any mistakes." ”

"I've wronged you......" the protector touched under the pillow.

Cen Muning hurriedly reached out for him and took out a piece of jade pendant. She recognized that this jade pendant was carved by her and her mother and given to her grandfather for his birthday.

"Maternal grandfather...... I'm ashamed of your mother and daughter......"

"Not really." Cen Mu Ning put the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, and tears fell like rain: "It's Mu Ning who is not good, and he has not been able to fulfill his filial piety by your side, but please let my grandfather be relieved, as long as Mu Ning is here, the Chu family will be fine." There is another thing, my grandfather, I have seen Pei Yuan's cousin, he was saved by others, safe and sound, and now he is also serving the court with his uncle on the battlefield to compensate for his mistakes. ”

The brilliance in the eyes of the Protector suddenly lit up, and he nodded with a smile: "Good, good, good ......"

After three sounds, the jade pendant in his hand suddenly fell to the side of the bed.

"Grandfather ......" No matter how Cen Muning called, he didn't get a response. Doctor Hu, Doctor Hu ......"

Bai Shuo had been outside the door all along, and when he learned about the condition of the Protector from Helian, he knew that there was no change, so he didn't come in. It wasn't until Cen Muning shouted like this that he walked in hard.

"The oil of the protector is exhausted, even if Hua Tuo is alive, there is nothing he can do. The Queen's Day mourns and changes. ”

Cen Mu Ning sat down on the ground, holding his hand and the jade pendant, sobbing silently.

The things in this world are often the most terrible, and they are powerless. Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation and replacement, in addition to acceptance, what other way.

"The Queen's Mother...... walked in with Chu Rongzhi's Continuation Lady. She choked and knelt beside Cen Muning, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, the concubine will definitely take care of her father's funeral." It's just that at this time, on the cusp of the storm, Niangniang really shouldn't stay in Chu Mansion for too long. The concubine is afraid that the discussion outside will not be good for the mother. ”

"That's what my aunt said." Cen Mu Ning wanted to laugh, but her expression was more uncomfortable than crying: "This palace is already a royal person, even if my grandfather dies, this palace is not qualified to handle the funeral for him." ”

She gritted her teeth, stood up with Bingling's hand, and covered the quilt for the protector with difficulty. "It's all for you."

She didn't know how she had walked back to the carriage step by step, and she couldn't remember how long the carriage had been before she returned to the palace. What happened that day was like something that I couldn't remember after being drunk. She didn't remember every detail. In addition to the taste of pain, it has been lingering in my heart and cannot be dispersed for a long time.

Goodbye to the concubines of the Sixth Palace, it is already half a month later.

There had been a heavy rain the day before. The weather was originally quite warm, but because of this rain, it was much colder.

She only knew that the battle ahead was tight, and she didn't want to know the specific situation, and it seemed that Zhuang Chenchen didn't plan to let her know.

On this day, the concubines were still dressed up in flowers, but she only wore a plain light mouse skin gray skirt and a whitish hosta. There is no other embellishment.

"I haven't seen the queen for a long time, is the mother's body better?" Yang Yunbi led the concubines to salute, stood in the position of being prominent in front of the people, and compared Cang Pitian.

"It's better. Remember. Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly, but her smile was not as infectious as before. But you look much better. ”

"The concubine has recovered, and the mother doesn't have to worry." Yang Yunbi said with some regret: "But the world is impermanent, and many things cannot be replaced by manpower." The mother should relax. ”

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Cen Muning understood what she was referring to.

The women in the palace are like this, not to mention the death of their grandfather, even if their parents die, without the grace of the emperor, they can't easily visit, let alone wear linen and filial piety.

Yang Yunbi is a famous family and understands these etiquettes, so she will naturally do just right.

Cen Mooning nodded gently: "What Concubine Min said is true." ”

Just as he was thinking about saying something more, the minions outside raised their voices and said that Concubine Liao had come to ask for peace.

"Concubine Liao......" Cen Mu glanced at Bingling.

Bingling hurriedly walked out, and sure enough, when she saw Liao Concubine, she took the hand of the maid and walked in slowly.

"Concubine Liao is fine." Bingling saluted her neatly.

"Girl, excuse me." Liao Rongyu gently soothed her lips: "I haven't seen the queen for a long time, and I remember it in my heart, and I am tired of the girl leading the way." ”

She walked in in the scenery to meet the eyes of everyone in the harem.

Although his face was vaguely haggard, the whole person looked extraordinarily energetic. "The concubine hasn't seen the queen for a long time, please ask the queen to accept the concubine's gift."

"Excuse me." Cen Muning looked at her with a pleasant face: "You are pregnant, it's good to have this heart, but your body matters." Green plow, look at the seat. ”

"Yes." Qingli moved a chair and put a cushion on it.

Mo Se and Bingling helped her to sit down before they stepped away.

"Sit down all of you." Cen Muning took a sip of hot tea, watched the concubines sit down and said slowly: "It's autumn, it's an autumn rain and a cold, and the autumn clothes prepared by the Internal Affairs Bureau this time are not bad." If there is anything inappropriate, just inform the palace. ”

"The queen has always treated the harem sisters very well, and the minions of the Internal Affairs Bureau naturally dare not care about what you explained." Liao Rongyu glanced at Concubine Gong with a smile, and then looked at Xin Meiren: "I just heard that everything in the harem is now shared by Concubine Gong for her mother, which is really hard sister." ”

Lei Zhen has always had no intersection with Concubine Liao, and she called herself sister when she opened her mouth, not just to show that her identity was higher than herself. "Concubine Liao doesn't know, except for some scattered things, or the concubines are taking care of it, and the rest of the things have been handed over to the queen mother for personal disposal."

"I see." Liao Rongyu smiled a little unnaturally: "The concubine has not been concerned about the affairs of the harem for many days, but she is negligent." It's just that the mother's body is good, why don't you raise more. ”

"The main palace is fine." Cen Muning couldn't care about two sentences: "It's you, now that you're pregnant, you have to be careful in everything." There is nothing more important than giving birth to a lively and intelligent heir. ”

"yes." Cang Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that Concubine Liao is pregnant for the second time. But don't do it like the first time. ”

These words sounded harsh, and Liao Rongyu frowned and glanced at her. "Thank you for your concern, the concubine will be careful."

"Sister, don't care." Xin Wei's eyes were pitiful, and there was a resentment in her tone: "Sister is blessed." Others will naturally envy it. It's like a pity for the concubine, and Baba is also looking forward to being blessed like her sister. ”

"Are you the roundworm in the belly of the main palace?" Cang looked at Xin Wei with disdain: "You know what kind of envy this palace envies?" It's a pity, this time you really said it wrong, what this palace envies is the queen mother. You don't have to try the hard work of having children, and you can rely on the prominence of your mother's family, sit firmly on the phoenix chair of the harem, and have the emperor's pity and connivance. This is a great blessing. ”

Such a blatant exposé in front of everyone, satirizing the queen's failure to give birth, is really bold.

Among the concubines, there are those who are dissatisfied, and naturally there are those who echo them, and there will be no shortage of those who are secretly ridiculed.

Cen Muning looked at her arrogant appearance and sank her heart: "The matter of having children depends on the will of God." It's not that you want to have such a good blessing. So Concubine Liao is even more blessed. If you need anything in the harem, just let Mo Se come and tell you. ”

"Thank you for your favor." Liao Rongyu smiled like a flower: "Niangniang is pure and kind-hearted, and if she treats the six palaces with tolerance and kindness, she will definitely be treated well by God." It's just like a poor concubine, who doesn't give forgiving words, isn't she afraid of the ostomy industry? ”

Cang Lian turned her face, looked directly at Liao Rongyu, and said in a weird manner: "This palace is talking to the queen's mother, what are you doing so excited, Concubine Liao?" Could it be that you also understand that only by relying on the protection of the queen mother can you have a place to live? Hongu remembers that when he was a child, the dog raised by the family protected his master in this way, so that the master could give him a full meal. Looking at it like this, it is exactly the same as Concubine Liao's actions. ”

"You ......" Liao Rongyu's sarcastic face changed color.

"Didn't you say that there was a grandmother who taught the rules of the concubine?" Yang Yunbi suddenly spoke, interrupting Concubine Liao's words. "Why does the concubine look at it for more than half a month, and I haven't seen the concubine grow at all? Are those grandmothers who can't teach? Or is the concubine's own rotten wood uncarvable? ”

"Concubine Min's words, the concubine doesn't agree. Where did you get some rotten wood! Xin Wei naturally wanted to say a few more words: "Some people have nine twists and eight faces. When facing the master, he is flattering and soft, and he is as well-behaved as a rabbit. When facing the enemy, the teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp, and the wrists are ruthless, which is called a majesty. Half of the sisters in this palace add up, and they may not have half the strength of the family, let alone Mama, even if the Queen Mother is still alive, I'm afraid she won't be able to train it. ”

As soon as she said this, everyone covered their mouths and lowered their heads, and they couldn't help laughing.

"It's really amazing, this one by one is coming to the main palace." Cang Lian turned her face to look at Ruan Er, who had been silent, and said angrily: "Is Concubine Ying mute?" ”

Seeing her rushing towards her, Ruan Er slowly raised her head: "The concubine doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't know what to say." ”

"You don't understand?" Cang Lian's face was dissatisfied: "You want to stay out of the matter, right?" ”

Ruan Er shook her head lightly, got up and saluted the queen: "The queen forgives me, I'm afraid Zizhou is going to wake up at this time." It's been a different day these days, and he can't eat well. The concubine wanted to retire first and go back to see him. ”

"It's fine." Cen Mooning nodded.

"Thank you, mother." Ruan smiled slightly, and bowed and retired.

"Poof!" I don't know who couldn't help laughing.

"This is a terrible slap in the face!" Xin Wei's body shook with laughter: "I thought I could find someone to help me speak out, but who knew that people would ignore it." Poor concubine, I heard that the Internal Affairs Bureau has sent you a lot of rouge. Look, concubine, you don't need to use it. ”

When she said this, the rest of the group giggled.

She stood up with a sigh of mercy, and looked around at all the people in this temple who laughed at her, and their eyes were as sharp as swords, and those who looked at her were furious.

"What kind of face are you two on, this palace can also see clearly. If you are safe and sound in the future, if you accidentally fall into the hands of this palace, this palace will definitely let you know who is more ridiculous. ”

After saying that, she didn't even salute and left the main hall angrily.

"I always have to talk to those grandmothers, and I have to teach the rules well. What does this look like. Liao Rongyu said angrily.

"Sister, don't worry about her." Xinyi happily reached out to touch her belly, but stopped at a distance: "My sister's pregnancy is the most important thing right now." ”

Liao Rongyu took her hand and gently placed it on her abdomen, wanting to tell her that she didn't mind her closeness. "With the queen's mother and my sister by her side, this child will definitely be born safely."

She smiled and pursed her lips, but tears welled up in her eyes.
