Chapter Eighty-Nine: Surviving

For two days and three nights, many things slowly settled down.

When the eastern sky, the red sun slowly drilled through the clouds, and the warm sun illuminated the earth.

Cen Muning knew that this was probably a day that she would make her unforgettable in her life.

The gold crown inlaid with mutton fat and white jade was tied for him, and Cen Mu Ning carefully arranged his hair. He looks good in a dark purple robe, his skin is fair, his cold temperament is majestic, and he looks handsome and arrogant.

"Alright." Cen Mooning tied his belt for him, and said gently: "The things outside have been deployed, Your Highness can just let it go." The concubine will be waiting for you to return as you wish. ”

"Okay." Zhuang Chenchen gently held her hand: "Wait with peace of mind, everything is in the hands of this king." ”

"Yes." Cen Mu stared at him and Yin Li, and the smile on the corner of his lips slowly stiffened.

Bingling was surprised by her expression, and couldn't help frowning: "Is Miss worried about His Highness?" ”

"Sort of." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly and returned to her usual look. "In the past few days, what has happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I heard that the emperor invited the prime minister into the palace three times and twice, but it didn't work out." Bingling lowered his voice and said, "Xiangye is a smart person, so he naturally understands how to protect himself at this time. What's more, even his uncle was detained in the palace, how could he not be afraid! ”

"Whether he lives or dies is his own choice. I'm just worried about my brothers and sisters. After all, they are innocent, and there is no need to bury him. Cen Muning gasped: "I just hope that King Ruiming can really get his wish, and the Xiangfu and the Chu family will not be affected." ”

Qingli walked in quickly, his face was a little gloomy: "Princess, the master just left the mansion, and Concubine Zhen's people arrived." I have to take you into the palace at this time, and say that there is something important to say. But the master's meaning is that he wants you to stay in the house......"

Cen Muning knew that Concubine Zhen was the saddest pass. But she had no choice.

"Change my clothes." Cen Muning said without hesitation: "Bingling, you stay in the mansion and adapt to the situation." If something happens in the palace, I will notify you with a smoke whistle. When the time comes, remember to contact your cousin to help His Highness. Just as I told my cousin before. ”

"Miss, let the slave maid accompany you into the palace...... Bingling said uneasily: "Your Royal Highness is not on good terms with the imperial brother, how can the emperor easily let go of the concubine." At this time, it is true that the concubine summoned you to the palace, but who can guarantee that this is not the emperor's mind. Maybe he's luring you into the palace and attacking you......"

"Bingling is right." Qingli also has such concerns: "The concubine knows what day it is, but she wants to take you into the palace at this time, there must be a lot of articles in it." It's better for the slave to enter the palace for you, and you still stay in the house to answer the master. ”

"No need." Cen Muning was not without doubts in her heart: "I also want to know, the palace is so unpeaceful, how can the concubine be safe and sound." Let's go, without further ado. ”

The people who came to the palace to answer it, because of the edict of Concubine Zhen, so it was smooth all the way into the palace.

Cen Muning was soon sent to Fulu Palace, and at that time, she was surprised to find that Concubine Zhen's bedroom was not guarded by guards. It's almost the same as usual. The palace people sprinkled and swept the courtyard, wiped the utensils, and tended to the flowers, just like a weekday morning.

Lei Zhen was also waiting in front of the inner hall, and when she saw her, she approached with a few steps and saluted him: "The princess is here, and the princess is waiting inside." ”

Cen Mu nodded slightly: "Annoying the girl to lead the way." ”

"Princess, please." Lei Zhen's gentle tone was as usual.

If it weren't for something in her heart, such a situation almost made Cen Muning feel that she was just entering the palace to ask for peace. Obviously, it is the most unstable time, but Concubine Zhen is doing business as usual here. This woman is really not simpler than the Queen Mother.

has been able to live by the Queen Mother's side for all these years, and only then can she get ahead, and it is not something that any person can withstand.

"The concubine asks for peace to the concubine." Cen Mu Ning saluted gently, and the smile on her face was a little curious.

"How?" Concubine Zhen caught a wonderful look in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Are you wondering why the mourning family is so quiet here, right?" Do you think that the emperor has taken the mourning family hostage and led you into the palace? ”

"I really can't hide anything from the eyes of the concubine." Cen Muning smiled embarrassedly. "That's what I thought when I came."

"Actually, you're right." Concubine Zhen smiled lightly: "The emperor did have such an idea, taking the mourning family as a hostage, forcing Dai Chen to make concessions, and even making her unable to do so...... It's just that the mourning family has a way to mourn the family, what the emperor wants to do, and how the mourning family can not be clear. ”

Cen Mooning looked at Concubine Zhen with a reverent gaze, and said in a soft tone: "The concubine is stupid, and I ask the concubine for guidance." ”

"It's simple." Concubine Zhen smiled coldly: "On the day of the death of the Queen Mother, the mourning family asked people to remove the guards of the entire Fushou Palace. Not only that, the mourning family went to the Queen Mother's Zigong every day, and was diligent in mourning, and did everything for the Queen Mother. Not only the emperor saw it in his eyes, but even the courtiers also saw it in his eyes, and the same was true for the concubines in the harem. The emperor can hold the mourning family and force Yan Chen to hand over the power in his hands. But the emperor must also understand that doing so is undoubtedly equivalent to a dog jumping off the wall, and more people will only poke his backbone. ”

Cen Muning thought to herself, she really deserved to be an old fox. A pair of eyes showed admiration and reverence. "The concubine really knows which place the emperor is the softest. It's really a good calculation. ”

"Calculation...... Concubine Zhen smiled faintly: "Is this a good calculation?" You may be underestimating the mourners. ”

"The concubine is stupid." Cen Muning lowered her head slightly, looking teachable.

"There is another reason why the mourning family is in the palace, but they have not been able to become hostages in the hands of the emperor. It is also a foolproof reason. Concubine Zhen's eyes were bright, and there was a thin coldness in her tone. Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, if you want to save the queen, only you can do it. But if you want to enter the palace, then only the mourning family can do it. ”

"......" Cen Muning thought to herself, Bingling was right. Speaking of which, the concubine did lead her into the palace for the emperor.

"Are you scared?" Concubine Zhen asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid." Cen Muning said regretfully: "It's a pity that the concubine doesn't have the ability to heal the queen." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the emperor. ”

"Whether there is such a ability, it is too early to say." Concubine Zhen hooked her lips slightly: "Without further ado, you can go to Fengling Hall with the mourning family." ”

"Yes." Cen Muning couldn't figure out what Concubine Zhen wanted to do. If you want her life, why take her to Fengling Palace? killed her in Fushou Palace, and Zhuang Chenchen would not say anything. After all, it is a mother and son who are close relatives, and they are much more important than her, an outsider.

Cen Mooning followed Concubine Zhen from a wing room in the back garden of Fushou Palace into the secret room.

It took a long time to walk in the secret room before I arrived at another room.

She walked in a hurry, with a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose, and she was covered in heat. Looking at Concubine Zhen again, she was so calm and relaxed, as if she was not tired at all.

Concubine Zhen's body is good!

Cen Muning thought to herself, this secret passage, she must have walked a lot.

I was a little distracted, and suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the concubines won't work." The queen shouted with difficulty: "You go, you go quickly...... The concubine doesn't want you to see what I look like now, and I would rather stay in the emperor's heart, only the former beauty of the concubine. You're going ......."

"No, Xuanyue, I will never leave you." Zhuang Zhizhou stubbornly held her in his arms: "There are no absolutes in the world, Concubine Zhen promised me, and she will definitely let Princess Ruiming hand over the antidote, as long as there is an antidote, you will be fine." ”

Hand over the antidote?

These four words were like a basin of cold water splashing down from his head, and Cen Muning was suddenly a little dazed. Concubine Zhen actually told the emperor that she was poisoned? Isn't that ridiculous? Before Qingli clearly said that the queen committed suicide by taking poison, why did she poison again?

"You must be curious, right?" Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "In fact, the mourning family knows your temperament, and the mourning family gives you something, you will be worried about trespassing, and even afraid that you will miss the matter of the concubine, and you will definitely borrow flowers to offer the Buddha." The gold ornament was smeared with some powder. ”

"Mother concubine......" Cen Mooning frowned and looked at her.

"Don't be afraid." Concubine Zhen smiled lightly: "It must be the poison that the queen committed suicide to, so that the effect of the medicine can be exerted together." So even if you don't give it to her, it'll be fine. ”

Cen Mu Ning thought to herself, it won't be okay. Concubine Zhen's mind is so vicious, no matter who poisoned her, it is not the same for her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Ruiming instigated the courtiers to depose you in the Golden Palace. You better deal with it quickly......" Huang Jing rushed in in a panic, and said breathlessly: "The slave just found out that there were suddenly more people in the palace...... There are a lot of guards...... Looking at the face, it must be their people. Your Majesty, hurry up and take a look. ”

The queen pushed the emperor away and pulled out the hairpin on her head: "Your Majesty, if you don't go, the concubine will die in front of you." Concubines are inherently humble and not worth your efforts. Your Majesty, if your country is lost in the hands of your concubines, won't the concubines become sinners for the ages. Emperor...... It should be for the sake of the concubine's honor after her death, please, please ......"

"Nope." Zhuang Zhizhou gritted his teeth, his eyes full of cold light: "I don't allow you to die, I don't allow you to have anything." Queen, you listen to me, I am the emperor for a day, and you are my queen for a day. Huang Jing, you hurry up to Concubine Zhen's Fushou Palace and bring Princess Ruiming. Anyway, I want her to detoxify the Queen. ”

"Your Majesty, how could Princess Ruiming save the queen." Huang Jing said with tears in her eyes: "She wishes that something would happen to the queen, your Majesty, at this time, you can't ...... like this"

"Get out." The emperor raised his leg and kicked it, and said viciously: "No one can stop me from saving the empress, no matter what. ”

When the words fell, Zhuang Zhizhou picked up the queen and ran out like crazy.

Although he couldn't see where they went, Cen Muning knew very well that it must be the direction of Fushou Palace. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Zhuang Zhizhou was not so vicious, at least there was a true feeling in his heart.
