Concubine Gong begged Zhan Xiaoxiao to protect her, but of course Zhan Xiaoxiao would not refuse or promise Concubine Gong. The official uniform also realized that he had thought things simple, and it was impossible to move Zhan Xiaoxiao with his groveling. Although there is an element of sympathy for Zhan Xiaoxiao to help himself, it is absolutely impossible to rely on a few words and tears of his own. Zhan Xiaoxiao and her husband are both fast-catchers, have seen a lot of people and worldliness, and have seen a lot of the world. Concubine Gong obviously has no power, and she doesn't have the money to impress them, and it is even more impossible to give them any promise at this time. The only way is to cooperate with their investigation and tell Zhan Xiaoxiao everything he knows, and it is best to transfer the target to other people, so that he and his children will be safe. Concubine Gong promised to tell Zhan Xiaoxiao everything about herself, but she needed time and an opportunity to speak.

Zhan Xiaoxiao immediately left the side hall and came to the main hall, she told the two queen mothers that Concubine Gong was a little out of control, she was worried that Concubine Gong would talk nonsense, so she asked Concubine Song Gong to return to the palace in person. Empress Dowager Li was worried that Concubine Gong would make a fool of herself, after all, Concubine Gong was originally her palace maid, so her appearance had a more or less impact on herself. Empress Dowager Li originally planned to imprison Concubine Gong or drive her out of the palace directly. Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qin Tai begged Empress Dowager Li not to do this, because the case had just begun to be investigated, and Concubine Gong was one of the most important people among them, so nothing could happen at this time. Zhan Xiaoxiao told Empress Dowager Li that she had gained Concubine Gong's initial trust, so she could send Concubine Gong back safely. As long as manpower is arranged outside Concubine Gong's expulsion, Concubine Gong will not be known by outsiders if she is not allowed to enter and exit at will. But after the investigation is completed, there will be a royal doctor or Zhan Xiaoxiao will decide to stay after a thorough diagnosis for Concubine Gong. After being released from prison, I discussed it with Empress Dowager Li and decided to do it according to Zhanxiao's intentions. Zhan Xiaoxiao took Concubine Gong back to the palace alone, and after Zhan Xiaoxiao left, he found a reason to seal Concubine Gong's residence and strictly forbade Concubine Gong and anyone from entering or leaving. After everything is confirmed, you can think about what to do next.

Qin Tai may have seen something, so he didn't show his wife anything in front of the Queen Mother, because he had confidence in his wife Zhanxiao. When Zhan Xiaoxiao and Concubine Gong left Cining Palace, in order not to attract the attention of others, Zhan Xiaoxiao helped Concubine Gong to leave Cining Palace. Along the way, Concubine Gong pretended to be sad, and kept muttering about the child. Zhan Xiaoxiao felt that Concubine Gong was not a simple disguise, but a half-truth and half-truth. She is really Siniang's own child, but it is not as strong as it appears. But in order to confuse outsiders and give others an illusion, she deliberately allowed her emotions to play out, making people feel an almost empty appearance. No wonder even the shrewd Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao didn't see through Concubine Gong's true thoughts, if it weren't for Zhan Xiaoxiao carefully checking her pulse, and if she felt that something was wrong, it would be absolutely impossible to find out her disguise. Zhan Xiaoxiao once again admired the disguise and scheming of these people in the palace, and it seemed that anyone who grew up in the palace should never be underestimated.

Along the way, everyone was secretly looking at this half-old palace maid, how dare she support Concubine Gong so blatantly? Didn't she know that Concubine Gong was a taboo in the palace? Whoever dares to get close to Concubine Gong is tantamount to offending the little emperor and queen at once, and even more masters. In order to ease the relationship between mother and son, even the little emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, did not dare to take care of Concubine Gong. Concubine Gong, the so-called biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, can now be said to be a rat crossing the street in the palace, and everyone shouts and beats her, and no one dares to approach her. Concubine Gong's food and clothing are all regulated, but they are also the worst. Eat the master's food, but other masters don't eat or leftovers, either cold or rancid, Concubine Gong likes to eat or not, no one cares. The style of the clothes is concubine-level, but they are all old, not only the color is not good, but the quality is mildew, so Concubine Gong usually prefers to wear old clothes rather than wear these high-end clothes that are easy to have accidents at any time. Concubine Gong originally had four palace maids and two little eunuchs waiting with her, but because Concubine Gong was not favored by the little emperor, these people left Concubine Gong one after another. There is only a half-blind old palace maid who comes to clean up the room for Concubine Gong every three or five times, and Concubine Gong's daily life is usually completed by Concubine Gong herself. Everyone knew Concubine Gong's difficulties, but they didn't dare to help Concubine Gong secretly during the Chinese New Year. Now seeing Zhan Xiaoxiao helping Concubine Gong to leave Cining Palace like this, everyone is speculating whether Empress Dowager Li's attitude towards Concubine Gong has changed, or is this palace maid unlucky to be assigned to Concubine Gong again?

A few bold little palace maids came to ask Zhan Xiaoxiao because they were young and ignorant, and Zhan Xiaoxiao pretended to be unlucky and explained a few words to them. This reason has long been made up in Cining Palace, which roughly means that Concubine Gong came to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and saw the emperor's eldest son in malice. Concubine Gong rushed up to hug her own child, but Empress Dowager Li did not allow Concubine Gong to approach the eldest son of the emperor, saying that it was the will of the Lord of Long Live. Unexpectedly, Concubine Gong received the stimulation and began to cry and make trouble, so Empress Dowager Li had to call Zhan Xiaoxiao, the newly assigned grandmother, Concubine Song Gong, to go back. Because Zhan Xiaoxiao was introduced by the Empress Dowager Chen, she was so unlucky, not only could she not get close to the child, but she also had to do such a thankless errand. After the little palace maid got the so-called true thought she wanted to know, she didn't even say a word of comfort to Zhan, and immediately dispersed in a hurry.

Concubine Gong let Zhan Xiao help her while walking back slowly. Along the way, there were constantly people observing the two of them from a distance, and some little palace maids or little eunuchs came out for questioning. After everyone knew the so-called truth of the matter, the onlookers gradually dispersed. Concubine Gong reminded Zhan Xiaoxiao in a low voice at this time: "Those palace maids and eunuchs who came to culture just now were not curious, but someone instructed them to do so. The first little palace maid to ask questions was called Cui'er, and she was from Queen Wang. The little eunuch who asked the second question was the person of the concubine. The little palace maid with a round face in the later one was in the Long Live Palace. Among the onlookers, there are not only Zhang Whale and Zhang Gonggong's people, but also Zhang Cheng's people and Zhang Gonggong's people, Feng Bao's people and Feng Gonggong's people, and the people of Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li are also inside. So I usually don't dare to relax and show in front of outsiders.

When she came to Concubine Gong's residence, Zhan Xiaoxiao felt something strange for the first time. Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that there were some unsocial buildings in the palace, but he didn't expect that Concubine Gong, the master, would live in such a place. Concubine Gong explained the origin of this room while carrying out the only complete chair in her room for Zhan Xiaoxiao to sit on. It turns out that this is one of the locations of the cold palace known to outsiders. The so-called cold palace is actually a place where concubines who have fallen out of favor are imprisoned or imprisoned. Being an emperor is a very beautiful thing, but it is also a very dangerous thing. Everyone will say and know the famous saying "Accompany the king is like a tiger", in fact, the emperor is more terrible than all the tigers combined, because the tiger will die or swallow a person alive at most, and the emperor can make a life worse than death. The women in the palace not only hope to be favored by the Long Live Lord, but also worry about being favored by the Long Live Lord. Once she becomes a woman who is a long live lord, it means that she can't leave the palace for the rest of her life, and she will always have to grab a man with a large group of women. The open and secret battles between the concubines are endless, and they are poisoned. Assassination, framing, planting, collusion, bribery, co-optation, etc., only the unexpected and some are done. The main thing is that I am worried that Banzai Ye is tired of getting tired and no longer likes herself, and this woman will be finished. Once a woman who is tired of being played with or loses interest in the long live lord, she has no status and dignity in the palace. As long as you do a little wrong, you may be taken advantage of, and the consequences will appear immediately, either you will be imprisoned or given death, and the place where you will be imprisoned is the cold palace. There is no warmth and no family affection in the cold palace, only endless torture and loneliness, which is a place to go to the company. In the cold palace, there are many lamenting poems left on the walls, there are also many traces of suicide left on the beams, and some rooms are completely enclosed, because some concubines who died of infectious diseases once lived in it.
