As soon as He Sheng led Yun Jing out of the Chonghua Palace, the door was closed heavily behind the two of them, and then, someone took layers of iron chains to seal the Chonghua Palace, and in an instant, the Chonghua Palace, which was as prosperous as before, suddenly became a bottomless cage.

Yun Jing's eyes widened as he watched as several guards locked the Chonghua Hall mercilessly, almost stunned. He instinctively broke away from He Sheng's hand and hurriedly ran forward, "You are not allowed to lock it, my mother is still inside, you can't ...... like this"

Yun Jing's strength was very small, and the guards didn't move at all, they looked at each other, and they didn't dare to resist, so they could only stand there stupidly. Seeing this, Cheng Dehai immediately said impatiently, "Don't make trouble, the fourth prince, you can't do anything like this, the concubine Niangniang has angered the emperor, the emperor is a heavy punishment, and no one can resist the decree." ”

"Cheng Dehai!" Before the words fell, a bright female voice suddenly sounded not far away, Cheng Dehai looked over when he heard the voice, and hurriedly bent his knees and said, "The slave has seen Concubine De Niangniang." ”

"Fourth brother, come here." Nian Ci ran forward first, opened his little hand, and was anxious to pull Yun Jing over.

Zhou Ruohua glanced at Yun Jing slightly, his eyes were also full of pity, but when he turned to Cheng Dehai, he had an angry face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Cheng Dehai bowed down and replied respectfully, "Back to Concubine De, this is the emperor's intention, from now on, the concubine Niangniang is not allowed to step out of the gate of Chonghua Palace for half a step." ”

Ruohua frowned deeply, and there was unwillingness in his expression, "The emperor is so ruthless?" The palace doesn't believe it, and the palace wants to ask the emperor to beg him to be merciful and forgive the concubine. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she had just taken half a step when she suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind her.

"If you don't want to be favored, don't waste this effort." Zhong Yuxiu and Jiang Wanran walked slowly, her charming and slender eyes turned lightly on Zhou Ruohua's face, and she smiled, "Don't look at how your position as Concubine De came about, if it weren't for the concubine falling out of favor, how would you have the opportunity to raise the fourth prince?" I'm afraid that I will guard this position of full mother and die in the Jardine Palace. ”

Zhou Ruohua's position at this time is equivalent to Zhong Yuxiu, but compared to Yuxiu's children at this time, and the emperor's favor, Ruohua is naturally incomparable. It's just that at this time, Zhong Yuxiu was provoked by words, and naturally he couldn't bear it, so he said loudly, "Didn't Concubine Shu also climb to today's position because of the concubine's fall from grace?" And what is there to be proud of? ”

Zhong Yuxiu smiled happily, frowned slightly, and said with a clever smile, "Yes, so now that the concubine has lost power, the palace is naturally very happy." I was about to eat, but when I heard that something had happened to Chonghua Palace, the palace hurried to see the concubine, but I didn't expect to come this time, I didn't see it, and Chonghua Hall was locked. ”

Yuxiu said with a smile that couldn't be concealed between her eyebrows.

Zhou Ruohua looked at her slightly, only to see her wearing a large peony emerald green smoke gauze robe, covered with thick and delicate makeup, and couldn't help but exude a strong sense of nausea from the bottom of her heart.

Such a woman is really vicious.

Ruohua was too lazy to talk to Zhong Yuxiu again, turned around and was about to leave, but when she looked back, she saw that Jiang Wanran next to Zhong Yuxiu was also dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, and she was dressed more luxuriously than her concubine.

Wanran glanced at Ruohua's gaze, but lowered her head slightly and remained silent, Ruohua was too lazy to look at her more, only took Nian Ci and Yun Jing, and left sideways from the two of them.

Yuerong on the side looked stunned, she grabbed the corner of Yuxiu's clothes, and Nuo Nuo asked, "Mother, why did they lock up the Chonghua Palace?" ”

Yuxiu glanced down at her, and said with a little smile, "It was the concubine who did something unruly and made the emperor angry." After that, she leaned down, looked at Yuerong levelly, and solemnly instructed, "Yuerong, listen well, don't go to play with your fourth brother in the future, his mother is now out of favor, if you play with him again, even your father won't like you." ”

Yue Rong nodded in a daze, but was still a little puzzled, "But my father seems to like the fourth brother very much, and he often calls the fourth brother to the palace......"

Before she finished speaking, Yuxiu immediately glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense!" Your fifth brother Yun Wei is the emperor's favorite prince. ”

Seeing that Yuxiu was angry, Yuerong was too busy to say anything, and cowered and hid behind Lan Xiang.

From the day the Chonghua Palace was blocked, the emperor's temperament also changed greatly, he dealt with political decisions, often forgot to sleep and eat, and locked himself in the Mingde Palace for a whole day without seeing anyone.

The draft that was supposed to be scheduled for the tenth year of Yongchang was also shelved, and the emperor had no intention of asking about the harem, and the green head card was sent to Mingde Palace day after day, but it was returned intact. But even so, Jingshifang still didn't dare to slack off, for fear that one day the Son of Heaven would change his mind, and his head would not be safe.

When the chief manager of the honor file took the ink pen and wrote the word "none" on an entire page, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

In this way, the good days of the entire harem can be regarded as coming to an end.

Such days lasted until the spring of the eleventh year of Yongchang.

In the spring, the queen became even sicker, since giving birth to the emperor, her body has become worse and worse than before, coupled with the serious illness in Yongchang's six years, people have become more and more emaciated. In recent days, she often took Yun Ke and Yun Jue to her bedside, holding the hands of the two children without saying a word, just crying deeply.

The emperor sat beside her, and couldn't help but sigh heavily and said, "Don't think about it too much, it's important to take care of your body." ”

When Li Shushen heard this, she burst into tears, she called Yuzhi to hug the two children, and said with a sad face, "In this life, with Yun Ke and Haoxue, and Yun Jue, the concubine has no regrets." ”

The emperor couldn't help frowning, squeezed the empress's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say that, you're still young, you'll be fine." ”

The queen sighed, her expression was a little soothed, "The concubine is already thirty-three years old, where is she still young, if she walks ahead, there is no pity." It's just that after the concubine left, the emperor was most worried. ”

The emperor lowered his eyes lightly, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said softly, "Don't worry about me, you worry about yourself first, and then take care of your illness first." ”

The queen smiled slightly, but there was shallow pity in her eyes, "The concubine has been sick these days, and she is always dreaming, and what she dreams about is when she was in the palace in the past. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the time between the emperor and his concubines is really not much, but when I think about it, I can't finish it for a few days and nights. ”

Shushen suddenly mentioned the old affairs of the palace, and the emperor's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Eleven years have passed, and that period of time has been stranded, and now that I think about it, I can only remember a little bit.

He took the queen's hand, and the guilt in his eyes also flashed in the clarity of his eyes, "Shushen, I was sorry for you in the past." When you were in the palace, you were wronged. ”

The queen smiled faintly, with a slight burst of tears, "What grievances are not wronged, they can be by the emperor's side, and the concubines are also content." She was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened her lips and said, "It's just one thing, they didn't dare to say it before, because they were afraid that the emperor would be angry, and now that the concubines have become like this, it is impossible to say anything more." “

The Emperor sighed softly, "You say. ”

"Shen Guifei in the Chonghua Palace, the concubine wants to ask for a favor for her."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with gloomy anger, "What are you mentioning her for?" ”

"The emperor punished the concubine for personal affairs that day, and even the face of the prince was rare. But the concubine knew that the rumors were untrue, and the concubine would not do anything to be sorry for the emperor. ”

The emperor closed his eyes heavily, suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed gently, "Shushen, when you were in the mansion in the past, Chang'an didn't treat you well, why do you still have to intercede for her at this time?" ”

The queen's smile was as thin as a trembling begonia blooming in the wind, and when the wind blew, it would not leave a trace, "Because the concubine really loves the emperor." After that, she had tears in her eyes, and said with a gentle smile, "The concubine is gone, and no one in this palace will really love the emperor anymore." The concubine and the concubine were born in the mansion together, her true feelings for the emperor, the concubine is in her eyes, so many years have passed, except for the concubine, only the concubine is sincere to the emperor. ”

The queen's words were deep, and this word was poured into Chu Luo's ears, but it made his heart ache.

Although he already knew that the women in this palace were all climbing dragons and phoenixes, they treated him just to seek the glory of a lifetime, and that little bit of sincerity was really not worth mentioning. But when the queen peeled back the reality in front of him at this moment, he only felt that his heart was throbbing, and there was unspeakable pain.

He hadn't been to Chonghua Hall for a long time, and every time he passed by, he would ask Cheng Dehai to go there in a different way. Even a moment in front of her door, he was unwilling.

Most often, he would go to Yuhua Hall to see Yun Jing, and every time he looked at Yun Jing's little face, he would think of Shen Changan.

I really loved, and I really hurt.

Suddenly, the queen interrupted Chu Luo's thoughts with a violent cough, and he immediately helped the queen up, watching her cough up a mouthful of blood in the spittoon, and his heart suddenly trembled.

Back in the Mingde Palace, it's already unitary time.

The chief eunuch of the respectful room took the green head card into the hall, and raised his hands high above his head, this action was just for show, the emperor had not turned over the sign for half a year, he was waiting to hear the emperor say "go down", so he did it hastily, so he didn't care.

Chu Luo looked over one by one, and as expected, he didn't see Shen Chang'an's name.

His finger landed on Jiang Wanran's sign and flipped it slightly.

Hearing the sound of movement overhead, the eunuch was almost stunned. He looked blankly at Cheng Dehai, who was standing beside the emperor, but was glanced at mercilessly.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and pass the sedan chair to Changning Palace! ”

After that, Cheng Dehai stretched out his hand to help the emperor with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, go this way." ”

The emperor glanced at him, and only felt that his heart was heavy, but he did not say too much.
