Bingling went and returned, and bumped into Concubine Gong who was in a hurry.

"Gong Concubine Niangniang." She settled down and saluted Lei Zhen. "The queen mother ...... at this time"

"Don't talk to me, I don't know why you're so anxious. It's okay to cover it up now, but it can't be covered up until tomorrow morning. I guess the queen doesn't want to watch things get out of hand, right? Lei Zhen's eyes were red, and she seemed to be holding back her worries with her thoughts and pretending to be calm.

Bingling didn't say anything more, and quickly stepped forward to show her the way.

The group rushed into the inner sanctum.

"How?" Qingli hurriedly stepped forward and asked, and when he saw Concubine Gong, his heart was half cold. Even she was shocked, this matter must be serious. "The mother is still inside."

"I'll go talk to the queen." Lei Zhen took a deep breath and walked quickly into the inner room.

When Cen Mu Ning saw her come in, she knew that it should be more than just a pity to get the news, and her heart couldn't help but be heavy.

"The queen mother is clever, and she can calmly turn things around at such a time of crisis. The emperor did not exterminate the traitors of the Chu family. On the contrary, he was able to persuade Chu Rongzhi to turn the gun around at a critical moment and attack Zhongnan, a confidant in great trouble. But because of this, the emperor himself is also in danger. Zhongnan is not a thorn that can be pulled out, Chu Rongzhi has different intentions after all, how can he not join forces with Zhongnan at this time to criticize the emperor. Queen Mother, you can still sit here so peacefully. In the past few years, you have served the emperor, and the emperor has treated you very well. Could it be that compared to the glory of your mother's mother's family, you don't care about the love with the emperor at all? ”

"Where did your news come from?" Cen Muning didn't care about the tone of her words, but she was curious about how this matter came in.

"It's a dark whistle." Lei Zhen's eyes were red, and she held back her tears: "The concubine cares about the emperor, so naturally she wants to install a secret whistle next to the emperor." The royal expedition is not a joke. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be ......"

"Now that the slip has come, what do you think we should do?" Cen Muning interrupted her words and asked directly.

Lei Zhen's body trembled and her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

"Here's what you've learned." Cen Muning frowned lightly and called Bingling in.

"Queen Mother, the news sent back by the dark whistle is that the emperor and Yin Li both fell off the cliff in Chilian Mountain." Bingling only felt furious in his heart: "Due to the complex terrain of Chilian Mountain, if you want to break the enemy, you can only use dangerous moves, so the secret whistle speculates that the emperor's move is to break through Zhongnan as soon as possible." But I didn't expect such a slip-up ......"

"What about you?" Cen Mooning asked Lei Zhen.

"It's also that the emperor has fallen off a cliff, and nothing else is clear." Lei Zhen couldn't hold back, and tears slowly fell. "If even Yin Li falls off the cliff together, then who else can save the emperor. Do you count on the concubine? Queen Mother, no matter how bad Chu Rongzhi is, he is also your uncle, and no matter how poor the Chu family is, he is also a major minister that the court has relied on for many years, can't you think of a way to let them save the emperor? Or, do you want the concubines to follow the example of the concubines, and rush to the Red Refining Mountain regardless of it? Although it is only late autumn, the cliff is bottomless, and no one knows what will happen in the past few days when the concubine rushes there. Queen Mother, please think of a way! ”

"Let me fly the pigeon and send a message, and ask my uncle to try to rescue him. In addition, there will also be Yu Linwei in the palace who will go to the Red Refining Mountain to reinforce the soldiers in front. At the moment, if Zhongnan fails to break through, and they learn that something happened to the emperor, Bao Buqi will take the opportunity to call. The Imperial City must be on guard. But we must be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so as not to make the people panic. Cen Muning glanced at Bingling, and Bingling ordered to slowly withdraw.

"The Queen." Lei Zhen took a step forward, her eyes filled with resentment, and she shouted at the queen: "When is it, you are either worried about the Chu family or the people, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be in danger?" ”

"The emperor is already in danger." Cen Mooning glanced at her, looked at the angry concubine, and said, "If the palace is like you and the concubine, and you are in chaos, wouldn't the harem be even more chaotic." Can the Imperial City still be saved? If there is another rebellion at that time, even if the emperor returns to the palace safely, what face does the palace have to face the emperor? ”

Lei Zhen gasped, and smiled faintly for a long time: "Yes, you are the queen." Even if there is no emperor, as long as the country is stable, you are still the queen mother of the world. Left and right, the emperor still has a prince. You can assist him to ascend to the throne and continue to guard this country. This is also your duty as a queen, your right as a queen. But the concubine ...... But the concubine wants to dare to ask today, the queen mother, in your heart, isn't there a little panic? If the emperor really fell off the cliff...... Don't you want to leave everything behind and save him regardless of the evil? ”

"I don't want to." Cen Muning didn't want to lie to her, and she couldn't fool her. "I don't want to leave everything behind. But Concubine Gong, it is precisely because the palace is concerned about the holy drive and understands her husband that she feels that the emperor will be safe and sound, and he will be auspicious. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Lei Zhen's face was full of tears: "The concubine also hopes like this." Queen Mother, the concubine has the courage to ask for your permission to let the concubine out of the palace. The concubine wants to save the emperor, please. ”

"It's fine." Cen Mu Ning nodded: "It is difficult for you to feel at ease in the palace, so you will go to Chilian Mountain with Yu Linwei." There are also cares along the way. What this palace can't do, I hope you can achieve. ”

"Thank you, Queen." Reith saluted her and walked away quickly.

Bingling has already arranged for the traveling Yu Lin Wei, because he has no military power, the Yu Lin Wei who can be mobilized is only assigned by the emperor in the Fengling Palace. It's not much. She took matters into her own hands, and transferred most of the people who were placed in the palace by the Chu family, as well as the people who followed Mrs. Cen back then, hoping to reverse the situation.

"Niangniang, don't worry, the emperor will be fine." Bingling couldn't help but be relieved to see the queen so uncomfortable. "It is said that the emperor is the most confidant of the mother. Niangniang, you are now stable in the palace, and it is only a temporary danger to come to the emperor, and it will definitely not be a big problem. ”

"Yes, mother, the slave is in a hurry, and she almost forgot one thing." Qingli couldn't help but comfort her: "I remember that when my master was young, he once hunted with the first emperor, but he was killed by his siblings and was trapped on a mountain that he was not very familiar with. It was autumn too, but winter was approaching. It was very cold in the mountains, and it rained for several days, and the guards searched all over the mountains but could not find the whereabouts of the master. Later, it was the master who found the palace by himself. He was trapped in a cave and managed to climb up. The master has always been very tenacious, and he also has the ability to survive outside, and the slave feels that he will definitely be able to survive. ”

Yin Li and Zhuang Chenchen fell off the cliff together, but Qingli held on to comfort her. Cen Muning felt that it was useless to feel good. "I know, I believe that the emperor will be safe. The most important thing at the moment is ...... Harem. ”

She turned her face away and desperately held back her tears: "Urgently summon the concubines of all palaces to come to Fengling Palace, and this palace must explain the whole thing clearly." It's also time for the six palaces to work together to do something for the emperor. ”

"Yes." Qingli nodded hurriedly: "The slave will arrange it." ”

When she came out of the inner room, she dared to bite her fingers and shed tears. The life and death of the master are uncertain, and Yin Li is nowhere to be found. Why should God be so cruel to make the two people she cares about the most encounter such a danger. She was willing to do it for them.

After half a cup of tea, the concubines gathered in the main hall of the Fengling Palace.

Naturally, the concubines and concubines did not come, and the concubines were speculating why the queen was suddenly summoned.

"What did Sister Concubine Min hear?" Xu Meiren walked around Yang Yunbi as if she was playful, just to get some news from her mouth.

Yang Yunbi has never had anything to do with her, but just shook her head: "It was also the queen's mother who was suddenly summoned, and I didn't hear any rumors." ”

"Does that concubine have ears to report to God?" Zhou Meiren is also curious.

"Not at all." Ruan Er spoke casually, but her attention was focused on Zizhou in her arms. "Zizhou, look, how magnificent the queen's palace is."

"The Queen Mother has arrived." Qingli helped the queen to the phoenix throne.

The concubines saluted in unison.

"Sit down." Cen Muning sat down, her eyebrows slightly solemn: "Close the door of the palace." ”

"Yes." The Ming and Qing dynasties responded, and then the door of the palace was slammed shut.

The concubines were a little stunned, and their eyes looked at the queen nervously.

"Queen Mother, is something wrong?" Yang Yunbi was deeply uneasy, and her face was also gloomy.

"Something happened." Cen Muning's face slowly sank, changing from the dignified and gentle in the past, and said word by word extremely heavy: "There is news from the front to the palace." The emperor is in distress in Chilian Mountain, and now his life and death are uncertain. ”

"What......" Liao Rongyu's body trembled, and her face turned pale and scary: "Queen Mother, will the emperor ......?"

"Concubine Liao." Cen Mu said solemnly: "The more times like this, the more you should know that it is useless to be anxious." Besides, you still have a body. ”

Liao Rongyu bit her lip and nodded: "Yes." ”

"What can be done, Hongu has tried his best to do. Concubine Lian used to walk in the rivers and lakes, and fought side by side with the emperor, so when she got the news, she left the palace and went to Chilian Mountain as soon as possible. Concubine Gong used to be a person close to the Queen Mother, and she was familiar with the Queen Mother's old department, and she also went to help at this time. Right now, this palace has summoned you to the Fengling Hall just to let you know the current situation. Once the Zhongnan thieves learned that the emperor was in danger, Bao Buqi would attack the imperial city. Even if they do not move, those who are afraid of the throne will also make calculations, and once the imperial city is completely in the hands of others, even if the emperor comes back unharmed, he may not be able to control the imperial power again. Therefore, if you want to cry today, you will cry here in this palace, and if you want to make trouble, you will make trouble here in this palace, even if you want to die, it is better to die in front of this palace. Out of the door of the Fengling Palace, the whole palace is on guard, everyone must not act rashly, all take care of their own palace, take care of the palace people around them, and all female dependents are not allowed to pass any news to the palace for any reason. The harem must work together to help the emperor survive this catastrophe. If anyone makes trouble at this time and distracts the palace and can't share the emperor's worries, don't blame the palace for not being emotional. Life or death is just a matter of thought. You should take a good look at the painstaking work of this palace. Until the emperor turns evil into good fortune, there is an end to this matter, and no one is allowed to think about anything else, do you understand? ”

The concubines cried and cried, knelt and knelt, and finally they should be in unison.

Cen Muning softened her tone at this time: "As a woman, I hope that my husband can be safe and smooth." As a harem woman, you have to understand that this peace and smoothness are not easy to come by. The darkness before dawn is the most tormenting, but as long as you endure, when the sun rises in the eastern sky, you know that this patience and suffering are not worth mentioning. ”
