"Your Highness." Lei Zhen gently saluted Zhuang Chen: "The slave maid sent the princess back." ”

Zhuang Chenchen frowned slightly: "Tell the queen mother, I will go over to say goodbye if I have time." ”

"Yes." Lei Zhen took two steps back and turned to leave.

Cen Muning happened to see her expression when she turned around for a moment, it was the youngest daughter who smiled a little shy when she saw the man she liked. It seems that if I can say a word to him, I feel as sweet as eating honey.

It's just that the expression quickly disappeared from Lei Zhen's face, and it only lasted for a blink of an eye.

"The concubine must like you very much." Zhuang Chenchen glanced at Qingli's hand and asked deliberately.

"This brocade box is so eye-catching." Cen Mu frowned: "I'm afraid that the things inside are more eye-catching." Your Royal Highness, I am afraid that it is not a good thing for such a thing to be held in the palace, and the concubine is worried that if there are any variables, it will affect His Highness. ”

Zhuang Chenchen didn't even look at what was inside, so he said happily: "You can watch and dispose of it." ”

"Yes." Cen Muning said to Qingli on the side: "Empress Rong and the emperor leave the Fengling Palace, and you send it to the queen." ”

"Yes." Qingli nodded softly.

Zhuang Chenchen looked at Cen Muning's eyes and asked, "Do you feel guilty about the queen?" ”

Cen Muning didn't make a sound, maybe this meant that she acquiesced.

"What would you do if you were in the position of queen and someone would treat you like this?" Zhuang Yanchen asked again.

"If you are not in your position, you naturally don't bother to think about those things." Cen Mu Ning looked at his deep eyes and said seriously: "But even if you let the concubine choose again, you still have to do what you have to do." I will never forget what I have carried because of a moment of kindness. ”

"That's why this king likes you." Zhuang Chenchen looked at him slightly: "You and this king are the same kind of people." Always know what you want and what you have to do. ”

Cen Muning looked at her with some confusion: "Then dare to ask Your Highness, what should the concubine do next?" ”

Zhuang Chenchen didn't answer her question directly, just lightly knocked her on the forehead.

subconsciously dodged, but failed to dodge. Cen Mooning rubbed her brain: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"The Queen's child is gone, how can it be settled with a gift. Do you think the emperor will let you go? Zhuang Chenchen frowned: "Your troubles are still to come." ”

"The trouble of the concubine can be solved by yourself. It's just that right now, trouble is coming for His Highness. Cen Muning pursed her lips slightly, and watched the emperor's imperial chariot come in a hurry. The concubine first went to Fengling Hall to give gifts to the queen. ”

There was a hatred that she knew would be difficult to relieve. It's like that even if the Queen Mother didn't really kill her mother, she had already started to make that arrangement. Like, she didn't kill the queen's child with her own hands, but indirectly caused such a situation. At this time, the queen must have hated her in her heart......

Qingping walked out with tears in her eyes and saluted her gently: "Princess Ruiming came to see the joke about the pain of the queen's mother's loss?" Come here at this time, and still bring such a luxurious gift, why? The needle didn't stick to you, so you don't know the pain? ”

"Bold, you dare to speak to the princess like this." Qing Li was immediately annoyed, and the hidden weapon in his sleeve was ready to attack at any time.

"That's it." Cen Mooning stopped Qingli and said gently: "If something happens to the queen's mother, it is inevitable that the people in Fengling Hall will feel uncomfortable. There are also bad tempers. The left and right are just the concubine's thoughts, if the queen doesn't like it, throw it away. ”

With that, she turned to leave.

A little girl came out of it and said softly: "The queen mother has invited Princess Ruiming into the inner hall to speak." ”

Qingping moved her lips, wanting to stop it, but she was helpless. I could only watch Princess Ruiming's master and servant walk in together.

In the inner room, the lights are bright. but they covered the lattices with a blue veil.

"It's getting dark outside, and after this whole day, Bengong only feels that his body and bones are going to fall apart." As she spoke, the queen opened the brocade box. "The princess sent such a gorgeous ornament over, which surprised the palace. Is this a congratulation to Hongu? ”

"This set of ornaments is actually the intention of Concubine Zhen." Cen Muning frowned slightly, and said, "Originally, the concubine wanted to send all the joy when the queen gave birth to Lin'er. Who would have thought that people are not as good as heaven. The concubine went to Fushou Palace, and when she saw that the concubine was really sad, she brought this gift and handed it to the queen. I hope that such a beautiful ornament can soothe the mother in the depression. Recover your health as soon as possible, and then give birth to Lin'er for the emperor. ”

"No way." The queen snapped the brocade box with a bang. Although this one didn't make much noise.

Still shocked Cen Muning's body and trembled.

"The identity that the emperor worked so hard to create for the palace is gone." The queen sneered: "From now on, this palace is just a lowly woman who doesn't even have parents. Our dynasty has always paid the most attention to origin, and those old ministers will soon beg the emperor to abolish the queen on the charge of bewitching the lord with a fox. When the time comes, the emperor will have to choose a balance between the palace and the imperial power. If it were you, how would you choose? ”

I have to say that the queen still understands it very clearly.

Those important ministers who have always supported the emperor must not want their monarch to be a faint monarch who is forgetful, unkind and unfilial. Then their usual method is to blame the emperor for the sins of women.

"After all, it is a matter of the Holy Tomorrow, who is Jingyang Gongjing." The queen muttered these two lines of poetry, and her smile revealed sadness and helplessness. "The Queen Mother would rather die, but also to expose the identity of the palace, she must have hated the palace in her heart."

"But the emperor pities the queen, and he is very affectionate, and everyone sees it." Cen Mu looked at the queen with warm eyes, and her tone was soft: "Presumably, these are not needed to be concubines, and the queen's heart must be like a mirror." ”

"So what?" The queen looked at Cen Muning's eyes and asked, "What would you do if you were to give up revenge because you cherished His Royal Highness King Ruiming?" ”

These words shocked Cen Muning, and she looked at the queen in disbelief. Does the queen also know about her mother? How is this possible? The queen doesn't look a few years older than her, and she is not liked by the queen mother, how does she know the secrets in the palace? Could it be that the emperor told her?

"Look." The queen sighed: "If it were you, it would be difficult to choose, right!" Not to mention the emperor. What he has now is the admiration of all the people, the wealth and the monstrousness, and the king who can shake the whole world with a single word. As for me, just a weak woman, it is already the greatest luck in my life to have this beautiful marriage. It's not easy to stay by his side and be a concubine. ”

The queen's calmness made Cen Muning feel that her reaction was too intense. Maybe the queen just wanted to give an example.

But even so, her heart was still beating suddenly, very uneasy.

"The matter of the Queen Mother, please don't mind the Queen Mother."

"A man dies like a lamp goes out." The queen smiled: "The palace naturally doesn't mind." It's just that there will be a bloody storm in the court immediately. The palace is now weak, and it is too busy to take care of itself, and where can I have the ability to plan and arrange for the emperor to share his worries. Princess Ruiming, in fact, the position of the queen is really not so easy to sit on. Are you so coveted? ”

Finally, it's this point.

"If the queen mother's words, how dare you be a concubine." Cen Muning endured the guilt in her heart, and said calmly: "The emperor is willing to arrange such a prominent identity for you for the sake of your mother, and what I want is to be able to spend this life with you in the hand of your son." The concubine's physical and mental wishes are nothing more than that. ”

"Yes." The queen smiled slightly: "But what if King Ruiming can't fulfill his wish?" Will you regret being her princess? ”

"No, it won't." Cen Muning said truthfully: "I was originally his princess, no matter what he becomes, so will I." ”

"Oh." The queen nodded and said nothing more.

Qingping was very unhappy and said, "Niangniang, you are weak, you should rest after taking the medicine." It's all this time, and you still care about what those people with bad intentions do. The slave really feels sorry for you. ”

"Ill-intentioned?" The queen smiled a little coldly: "People in this world have their own purpose in life. No one can accuse the other of being wrong, and he is right. Because every time you do something to achieve your own wishes, you will intentionally or unintentionally hurt others. It's like this palace, when you had to enter the palace with glory. If this is not the case, the queen mother can choose a more suitable person for the queen and share all kinds for the emperor. Disruption will not lead to today's situation. ”

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Cen Muning again: "Is King Ruiming ready?" Is the emperor's throne in jeopardy? ”

"Mother." Cen Mooning sighed: "The concubine came today just to say hello." It means nothing else. The matter between these men, the concubine does not know how to answer. ”

"That's right." The queen nodded slightly: "You guard against the palace, and the palace guards against you, all because you and I have different positions." But Hongu does treat you at first sight, and likes to talk to you like this. It's a pity that I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. Three days, maybe not three days. This Fengling Hall is no longer the palace's, or rather, this will be the burial place of the palace. ”

"Queen Mother, what are you talking about!" Qingping knelt down all of a sudden: "The slave has been serving you since she entered the palace." Although it has only been a few years, you are really good to the slaves. You are so generous and merciful, how can God not take care of you. The emperor loves you in every way, how can he bear to let you become Yang Guifei on Ma Weipo? ”

"The emperor has the emperor's decision, and the palace has the palace's calculations." The queen gently hooked her lips: "Get up." Send me a gift to Princess Ruiming. By the way, this set of gold jewelry chosen by Concubine Zhen is indeed very good-looking. Compared with the set sent by the emperor when the palace entered the palace, it was much more exquisite. For this palace, thank you concubine. ”

"Yes." Cen Muning couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she just saluted the queen lightly and walked out of the inner hall quickly.

Outside, it was already dark.

She couldn't see the road, and she couldn't see herself.
