One night and one day, the sound of each other's breathing could be heard quietly in the Fengling Palace.

In the past, when something happened, there would be Liao Concubine and Xinmei coming over. Now that Concubine Liao has become Concubine An, Xin Wei is in prison, and it is really a situation of change.

"Queen Mother, the letterhead sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion has been returned." Bingling came in from outside, and his face was a little bad: "The slave doesn't know if I want to send it over again......"

"No need." Cen Muning put down the embroidery work in her hand, and almost figured out this: "My father took leave and never went to court, and I couldn't find Cen Mufeng's whereabouts. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion is like a great enemy, and it seems that something really has happened. And now, the emperor did not come, nor did he summon him, and none of the concubines of the six palaces came to Fengling Palace, this matter must be related to us. It's a pity that I haven't thought of what kind of connection it is, and I can't crack it. ”

When she came in, she didn't have anyone with her.

"I thought you were omnipotent, Queen Mother. is worthy of your dignity today. It's a pity, it turns out that you also have times when you are confused. Cang Lian didn't have much to say, just sighed: "Until today, the concubine thinks that when she looks at you down, there will be a lot of words waiting to tease you." However, at this time, it seems that there is nothing to say. It's all in each other's hearts. ”

She smiled softly and glanced back in the direction of the door: "Don't come in yet, what are you waiting for?" ”

Yin Li walked in with a reluctant face: "The master has a will, except for Bingling, there will be no one left in the Qingxuan Hall to serve." If the concubine has no other orders, she will lock the palace door at this moment. ”

"What do you say?" Qingli couldn't help but get excited: "I don't know what happened, you have to dismiss all the palace people in Fengling Palace, and even I can't stay?" What do you want to do by locking the palace door? ”

"Green plow." Yin Li left half a sentence on his lips: "This is what the master meant." ”

"Okay, I'll go and ask the master." Qingli was particularly unwilling: "In the end, the queen mother was so wrong that she was framed to this step of the field." ”

"Whatever you want." Yin Li didn't stop her, because he knew her temper well, and he couldn't stop her at all. Since you can't stop it, just let her go. That's how it is, anyway.

Cang Lian really didn't say anything, and slowly walked out step by step with a sweet smile.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Cen Muning suddenly asked her.

She didn't stop, she didn't turn around, she just said with a smile: "Isn't it ridiculous that a person who has been placed in the cold palace, an outdated queen, asks me where I am wrong!" ”

She raised her chin like a proud peacock, and even the air was filled with swaggering pride.

"What are you doing, you dare!" Bingling chased after him and shouted angrily, "How did the queen treat you in Su Rili? You have won the favor of your mother, but you want to withdraw at this time, are you ashamed? I saw who dared to take half a step out of the Fengling Palace, and asked me about the sword in my hand first. ”

"Ice Cream." Cen Mu called out to her: "Let them go." ”

"Mother." Bingling was particularly incomprehensible: "Since ancient times, how can there be no one around the queen to serve?" Even if the matter of the Cen Xiangfu involves you, it is also the matter of the mother's family, and the emperor has never said a word that he wants to remove you. Since you are still the queen, there is no reason not to leave someone to serve. How can the slave and maid maintain your dignity, and these slaves will never disobey you. ”

"Ice Cream." Cen Muning looked into her eyes and called her again. "Don't you understand? This is a holy decree, even if they are all loyal servants and loyal one by one, it does not mean that they can not obey the holy decree. So it is with them, and it is with me. Since the emperor arranged it this way, the best thing to do is to stay calm and wait for the opportunity. ”

It seems to understand, but it doesn't seem to understand anything. Bingling was very conflicted, she wanted to rush out like Qingli to ask for an explanation, but also wanted to endure this breath and obey the queen's arrangement. When she was in a dilemma, she heard the sound of the main palace door of the Fengling Hall locking.

It's so heavy, so clear, it's overwhelming.

"Mother, what can I do?"

It is false to say that he is not panicking, and Cen Muning has never seen such a battle. "One wrong step, one wrong step, I just forbearance of my enemies too much, so I will have today's situation. Fortunately, the green plough went out. ”

"What do you mean?" Bingling seems to have seen a glimmer of life.

"She is the one who serves me, in the final analysis, but she is also the person next to the emperor." Cen Mu Ning thought for a moment before saying, "And she's outside now!" ”

"That's right, we still have a green plow." Bingling clenched his fists, trying not to let his hands tremble. has accompanied the queen all the way through the thorns and thorns until now, and she has never been so afraid. "At this time, the mother might as well go to bed and rest first, and the slave maid will boil some hot water to bathe you."

"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Cen Muning said calmly: "It is more important to save your strength and deal with the next things." ”

"Nope." Bingling shook her head stubbornly: "The queen mother should have bathed today." No matter how poor the slave is, she can't let the mother be wronged in these little things, you wait a while, and the slave and maid will soon be ready. ”

Knowing that she was doing it for her own good, Cen Muning didn't stop her and let her go.

At night, the wind is not so cool, and this empty Fengling Hall is unsettling in the end.

"The concubine has already seen the queen's mother." When Cang Lian walked in, her steps were a little hurried. "Your Majesty, the words of the border envoy may not be true. Even if this is the case, the queen mother will definitely not ......"

"Concubine." Zhuang Chenchen interrupted her words, looking like he was in trouble.

Cang Lian was a little flustered, and slowly walked to his side: "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Aren't you and the queen an inextricable feud? Do you want to intercede for the queen now, or do you want to take her life? ”

Such a direct question made Cang Lian feel embarrassed for a moment. "Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to tell you what she sees. As for whether it was a request or something else, the concubine didn't dare to think about it. ”

"Really?" Zhuang Chenchen disagreed: "You just said that the words of the border envoy may not be true, what is the basis?" ”

"The concubine just thought that if that woman was really that important. It is impossible for Xu Guo to give her a chance to escape, let alone fall into the Cen Prime Minister's mansion. All the way from the border to the imperial city, how many mountains, how many checkpoints, how could she, a weak woman, hide in the Xiangye's mansion smoothly. Isn't that weird? ”

"That's right." Zhuang Chenchen stiffened his face, and there were a lot of worries between his words: "A weak woman, of course, does not have such ability. If it's you or Concubine Gong, maybe you still have a chance of winning. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cang Lian immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, the concubine is indeed dissatisfied with the deliberate murder of the queen's mother, but the concubine knows that the emperor bothered to protect the concubine, how dare she do these things easily." What's more, even if the concubine can manipulate a weak woman, the concubine can't manipulate the entire prime minister's mansion, and it is impossible to easily control the overall situation in the palace. These days, all the concubines are thinking about the emperor, how to give birth to an heir for the emperor, and how can they have the ability to pay attention to anything else. ”

She looked pitiful, as before.

Zhuang Chenchen gently held up her chin, looked at those innocent and bright eyes, and slightly hooked her lips. "It's better if it's not you."

This sentence seems to be full of many profound meanings. Cang Lian looked at him thoughtfully, holding back her panic. "The concubine just wants to accompany the emperor well. I also want to find out this matter as soon as possible and resolve the current crisis. To put it mildly, the emperor drove the expedition in person, and it was not easy to recover Zhongnan, if there is anything to do with Xu at this time, I am afraid that the rest of the countries will also have ambitions. No matter how strong the dragon is, it can't withstand the battles in turns, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that the troops and financial resources will be insufficient, so I will give the country away...... The concubine never wanted to see such a situation. Your Majesty, you are eloquent and strategic, and you should have annexed the countries and unified the country, and the concubines only hoped to do their part for the emperor's great cause. ”

With that, she leaned over and pressed her cheek against the top of his boot. "Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to stay by your side and accompany you down."

Before the queen was in trouble, she was a sharp-toothed and arrogant favorite concubine. The queen was grounded, and she regained her former gentleness, so understanding and relieved his irritable heart. This woman was really trained by the queen mother.

"In that case, I should have chosen you as the last one. Not only can he lead the harem for me, but he can also accompany me on the battlefield. But whatever I have to do, you are the first to penetrate it than anyone else. You are the same as you were when you were younger, and you haven't changed in the slightest. Zhuang Chenchen's words were slowly moving.

Tears of pity fell, and she shook her head again and again, but she didn't know if she could hide the joy in her heart. "Your Majesty, the concubines have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that the emperor can always treat the concubines so well."

"Yes." Zhuang Chenchen stretched out her hand, and she put her hand on his palm. "What's good? For a wife? For concubines? For the after? ”

"For the emperor's sweetheart." Cang Lian's heart is trembling, if the emperor can nod in the next second, even if she lives for ten years, she is willing.

"Someone." Zhuang Chen's face was tight, and his tone was majestic and solemn.

The heart of mercy rose to his throat, as if the holy decree that had been re-established after the abolition was on the emperor's lips. She had waited too long for this moment.

"The subordinates are here." Yin Li stepped forward very slowly, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. He didn't believe that the emperor would depose the queen, and he didn't believe that the emperor would really canonize the concubine as the queen. Even though I didn't believe it, I was extremely nervous. "What does the master command?"

Zhuang Chenchen looked at the woman who was holding her hand and showed a gentle smile.

"Your Majesty." Cang Lian held her breath, feeling her heart tense and not beating. She looked at Zhuang Chenchen with good eyes, and she had never been so eager for him to say what she wanted.
