When Chang'an's gaze touched her face, she was suddenly startled, "Miaochun? ”

Miaochun is nearly forty years old, her youth is not there, and her face is also old and terrifying, she suddenly knelt down and knocked three times, "Slave to the emperor, the queen mother, please be safe." ”

The emperor was obviously taken aback, and looked at her with doubts in his eyes, "Miaochun, are you still in the palace?" ”

Miaochun smiled shallowly, "The slave is already half a waste, thanks to the care of the first queen, stay in the palace to do some errands, where can I go out of the palace." ”

The emperor's brows furrowed slightly, "Then what do you want to say when you come to see me today?" ”

Miao Chun kowtowed deeply, her eyes stared at Zhong Yuxiu deeply, hiding the pain in a flat tone, "Your Majesty, the queen, the slave has a matter that has been endured for many years. The slave maid is the maid of the middle palace, with a decent status and a splendid future, if it weren't for the lady concubine, how could the slave and maid be ruined and ruined their lives? The slave and maid waited outside the hall with Jiang Xin, and heard clearly about the murder of Zhaoyi by the concubine. But what about the fact that the lady concubine poisoned the imperial heir? As early as when the former queen was pregnant with the eldest prince, Concubine Shuniang gave the first queen a pot of begonia flowers with musk and incense medicine, but it did not succeed, but blamed the first queen. The first queen was kind, thinking that the concubine was pregnant, and refused to admit her guilt, so she pointed out the slave and maid to go out for the concubine to take the blame, if it wasn't for the queen to rescue the queen that day, the slave would have died in Shang Fangsi with grievances. ”

After that, she bowed deeply to Chang'an, "Slave and maid, thank you for the grace of the queen for saving her life." ”

Chang'an's heart was moved, she closed her eyes deeply, but she just didn't say a word. Now that the situation is completely out of her control, she doesn't know what will happen next, and she doesn't know if someone will stand up and testify against herself like Zhong Yuxiu.

Chang'an's face darkened a little, she looked at Miaochun, and the painful memories of many years came back to her heart again.

Her downfall arose because of Zhong Yuxiu.

In the seventeenth year of the harem, Zhong Yuxiu has not calculated her less, but now she has become a woman like Zhong Yuxiu, and she is even more vicious than her.

Chang'an was a little stunned, but his heart was constantly throbbing.

After a long time, she saw tears in Chu Luo's eyes, and his gaze swept over her face as if unintentionally. Chang'an turned his face away, there was silence between heaven and earth, only the rustle of the leaves in the breeze.

His thin lips opened slightly, but his voice was cold without a trace of warmth, "Concubine Shu, you calculated Zhaoyi because she was favored by me, you can't tolerate her, and you are not on good terms with the queen, so it is the same." But Shu Shen ...... You have been like sisters for more than ten years, why do you treat her like this? Shushen has never been sorry for you, but you still want to hurt her...... I really don't know what you're for......"

Yuxiu's face was full of tears, she suddenly sneered, laughing sadly, "Your Majesty, do you think your former queen is really that virtuous and virtuous?" She hasn't done anything harmful, but she's scheming against you a lot behind her back. In this harem, which woman is sincere to you? ”

As she spoke, she raised her face and pointed at Chang'an with trembling fingers, "This woman, this woman sitting next to you, she is the current queen, but you ask her, where has her true heart gone?" Does she still have a heart? Although the concubine is not dedicated to you, is the queen?! But you'd rather trust the queen than your concubines! ”

"Shut up! I see you're really crazy! The emperor was furious, his face was as gloomy as a rock, "Come on, take Concubine Shu down, and confin the Ronghua Palace, without my will, you can't come out unless you die!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zhong Yuxiu knelt on the ground, her face filled with intense and painful despair, and the two guards stood on the side, reaching out to pull her up.

"Let go of Hongu!"

She shouted almost uncontrollably, and the two guards were startled and immediately withdrew their hands.

Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyes and looked over one by one, her eyes stayed on Chu Luo's face for a long time, and finally dimmed. She slowly stood up and said with a smile, "This palace will go by itself." ”

Under the watchful eye of the two guards, Zhong Yuxiu stumbled out of the Mingde Palace, at that moment, it seemed like a long, long time, Chang'an looked at her, but there was infinite sourness in her heart. And that gorgeous figure gradually lost in the sunlight and disappeared after all.

After a long time, Chang'an Fang heard Chu Luo's deep sigh, and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Shu's father did his best in the previous dynasty, and Yuerong asked to marry far away, I can't punish her heavily, even if it is not for her, I have to think about Yun Wei and Yuerong." ”

Chang'an bowed his head silently, "The emperor is merciful." ”

Out of the door of Mingde Palace, the sky gradually darkened, Chang'an quickly caught up with Zhu Zheng, his eyes suddenly warm, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Zheng bowed slightly, "Why did the queen mother say this?" ”

Chang'an held a trace of desolation and sadness in his eyes, and slowly said, "Zhu Zheng, I'm sorry." Bengong has calculated you, but in the end, you helped Bengong. ”

Zhu Zheng smiled lightly and looked at it calmly, "A good marriage is not a mother's calculation. ”

Chang'an's eyes moved, and he repeated, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Zheng lowered his eyes indifferently, "The queen doesn't need to thank Weichen, if you want to thank you, thank the prince." Before leaving, the prince instructed Weichen that no matter what, he must ensure that his mother is thoughtful. I personally promised the prince, so I must not break my word. ”

Chang'an's eyes were slightly moist, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a single word that he choked up. Her casual gesture hid away the tears overflowing from Yixing, and bowed her head silently.

In Taoyao Palace, the candle flame flickered, and a faint flame ignited in Chang'an's eyes, little by little, glowing with a gentle light. She held the white jade in her hand and said slowly, "How many days has it been?" ”

Wanxiang lowered her eyes slightly, "Back to the queen's mother, it's already the second watch." ”

Chang An let out a faint "oh", his eyelids drooped, but the corners of his eyes were glowing with a soft luster.

After a long time, she suddenly spoke, "Does Emperor Yuerong know the news?" ”

"Yes, the news has been delivered to Mingxiu Pavilion."

Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is the reaction of the emperor?" ”

"She didn't say anything." Wan Xiang sighed softly, "I didn't ask about Concubine Shu's situation, I just said that I knew." ”

"She's already guessed."

"Yes. But...... The queen lady ......" Wanxiang called her softly and whispered, "Concubine Zhong Shu has lost power, but the slave and maid are not happy at all when they see you?" ”

"Yes, why am I not happy at all......" Chang'an muttered to himself, a sour smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I really hated Zhong Yuxiu before, she killed my son, how much I hate her, but now that she is in decline, I only feel sour." After all, I did it, and she took my place. ”

Wan Xiang lowered her head shallowly, and a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in her eyes, "But Imperial Doctor Zhu, why did you suddenly mention the matter of cinnabar?" ”

"He is a loyal minister, he has been by the emperor's side for many years, and if he finds something, he will naturally mention it to the emperor, but what shocks the palace the most is Jiangxin."

Wanxiang smiled slightly, "The slave was worried that the emperor would not believe Aunt Rong's testimony, so she found Jiangxin and Miaochun early in the morning, with the two of them here, the emperor would believe it." ”

"Your mind is delicate." Chang'an lowered his head lightly, and his expression suddenly became a little gloomy, "Wanxiang, do you know which one the emperor hates the most among so many things?" ”

Wan Xiang shook her head blankly, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"It's Song Yanji."

"Mother's ......"

Chang'an's smile was delayed, but it was extremely sour, "She is dead, Bengong is still alive, but Bengong lost to her." It turns out that I really want eternity, it's so difficult, in the past, Bengong was always thinking, whether the emperor prefers Bengong, or Song Yanji, so many years, even if he marries Song Yanji and enters the door, but the moment he rushes into Chonghua Palace, Bengong still believes that he loves Bengong. But now that the palace is old and the children are gone, Song Yanji will always live in the best time. ”

Wan Xiang's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears, "But the queen didn't mention the matter of the four princes to the emperor, and she was already very kind to the concubine." ”

Chang An pulled the corners of his mouth silently, and his eyes were hazy with tears in an instant, "After all, Yun Jing was not killed by her own hands, Yun Jing's death was not all her fault." But if you look at the emperor's reaction that day, you can see that this palace has also lost his parents with him, but the emperor, he has many children, and he will have newborn children, but there is only Yun Jing in this palace, which is different after all. ”

Wanxiang pursed her lips tightly and choked up, "But if you don't talk about this matter, we will never be able to completely bring down Concubine Shuniang, even if she bears so many charges alone, the emperor will only imprison her and refuse to really punish her." ”

Chang'an opened his eyes slightly, but there was an extremely sober look in his eyes, "The princess is married far away, the Zhong family has a prominent background, and the emperor will not really punish her." Besides, the palace has long seen that the emperor still has affection for Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu has served the emperor for so many years, and there is a prince, the emperor will not really want her life. ”

"But the emperor's affection for the queen is the most important......"

Chang'an smiled shallowly, his sadness was like a fog, and he gradually sank, "In the past, the emperor liked me, because we were still young, and he liked that kind of strong and stubborn temperament, but as he grew older, he also needed a woman who could tolerate him and accompany him gently." So he likes Song Yanji, because Song Yanji is not only strong, but also has that compromise gentleness. Even the current Changle is the same, what the emperor is worried about is the sincere emotion of his youth, but he hopes that someone can follow his heart and accompany him silently, but after all, I am not his lover. When people are young, what they desire is hot feelings, and when they reach middle age, their enthusiasm disappears, and there is only one company left. He was the emperor, and even more so. ”

Chang'an closed his eyes deeply and let the tears fall.

The joys and sorrows of this life are all because of him. Born from him, but ended by him.

Outside the window, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and they flow silently.
