"Don't dwell on this matter any more, how to deal with it has its own conclusion in my heart, you don't want to mix it anymore, you can't bear it in your heart, I allow you to go and see her, you go down." ”

"Father. ”

"Let's go down. ”

Seeing that his father refused to listen anymore, King Rui wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to retire.

Gonggong Xu glanced at the little chamberlain standing at the door, and the little chamberlain lowered his head and withdrew.

As soon as King Duan went out, the little chamberlain stepped forward half a step, "Your Highness, the servant will take you to visit the Zheng family." ”

King Duan didn't react for a while, slightly, after thinking about it, he realized that he was talking about Zheng Guifei, and now she has been abolished and is a sinner, and there is no longer the title of concubine she has always been proud of.

"Fatigue leads the way. ”

The little waiter said, "Your Highness is polite, this is Your Majesty's grace, Your Highness, please come with me." ”

Along the way, Duanwang's thoughts were like a tide, surging and unsettled, an accident tore apart all the warm veins, no matter what happened before, he has always been thinking of Concubine Zheng's nurturing grace in his heart, even if her kindness is not simple.

Back then, everyone had their own opinions, and I hope that Concubine Zheng can solve her doubts seriously like when she was a child.

After asking a few words about Concubine Zheng's current situation, the little waiter replied perfunctory, so he didn't ask anymore, silently guessing in his heart about the various situations that would happen later.

Walking and walking, King Duan came back to his senses and found that this was still the way to the original palace of the concubine, "Does Concubine Zheng still live in the original palace?"

The chamberlain said, "Yes, Your Majesty didn't want to see Zheng's mother and son for a while, so she was handed over to the queen mother for disposal, and the mother ordered her to be imprisoned in the original palace." ”

Yes, no matter what, Concubine Zheng and the tenth brother can't turn over, even if they barely survive in the end, they will no longer regain their previous esteemed status, the queen put her, a "sinner", in the original concubine palace, and let her face this magnificent palace, which is the biggest blow and humiliation to her, hurting people invisibly, the queen's means are still so powerful.

It's just that the queen and the king of Ling are not easy to get out this time, and they still have such leisure to deal with Concubine Zheng, I don't know if it's because they dislike Concubine Zheng too much, or if they have other plans.

Duanwang rubbed his eyebrows, these have nothing to do with him, so don't think about it anymore.

Walking through the long corridor, the palace was shrouded in darkness, and only the outline could be faintly seen, which was out of place with the other brightly lit palaces.

Walking outside the palace gate, the palace guards came out with two lanterns, and they were the people sent by the queen to guard the palace.

When the man saw that it was King Duan, he didn't dare to be rude, so he bowed down and saluted to stop him, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Duan, Your Majesty and Niangniang have ordered that no one is allowed to enter and leave here at will, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

The little chamberlain on the side hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty asked me to bring His Royal Highness Duan Wang down to see the Zheng family here." ”

The man raised the lantern slightly, "It turned out to be Father-in-law Xu, that must be true, in this case, Your Highness go in, it's just that sinner, no, the Zheng family loves to talk nonsense now, please be careful." ”

"The king knows, and you are glad to be here. ”

The henchman who followed behind him hurriedly took out a money bag and handed it to the guard, who took it quietly, and his face became more respectful, "Your Highness, go in, we are here, Your Highness don't have to worry." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the lantern in his hand, and Xiao Xu's father-in-law hurriedly took it.

King Duan took Xiao Xu's father-in-law in, but his henchmen stayed in front of the door and did not go in.

With the help of the lantern, the flowers in the garden are still blooming vigorously, and you can smell the fragrance of the flowers on the tip of your nose.

Patted the door, waited for a while, but no one came to open the door, Duanwang personally pushed the door open, and the cramped darkness surrounded a broken candle, a cool breeze, dancing with flames.

Concubine Zheng was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was scattered, and she was sitting on the edge of the faint candlelight, with a blank face, and she was the only one in the empty palace.

When she heard someone coming in, she didn't move.

King Duan approached and said softly, "Concubine Zheng." ”

Concubine Zheng's eyes moved, but she was still gloomy, and she turned her head and found that it was King Duan.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she rushed forward, "Yu'er, you came, your majesty didn't let you come, your majesty has pardoned me and your brother, right." ”

King Duan had no choice but to reassure, "My father has not given an order yet, he is not trying to condemn you to death, but as a last resort, don't worry." ”

Concubine Zheng put down the hand that was tugging at his sleeve and said with a wry smile, "It's my whim, since that's not the case, what are you going to do, why don't you hide and wait to see the joke?"

Hearing this, King Duan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was raised by Concubine Zheng, but he was unwilling to help their mother and son, and also refused the pull of the tenth brother and threw himself into the hands of the eldest brother, although the plan of the tenth brother will definitely fail, but he is still one of the reasons for his failure after all, and he is most sorry for Concubine Zheng.

"What do you say, I have been raised by you since I was a child, this kindness is unforgettable, just ask for a grace, come and see you, it's nothing. ”

Concubine Zheng suddenly raised her head and looked into his eyes, "In that case, you go and beg Your Majesty, let our mother and son go, he loves you so much, you go, even if you beg Concubine Qiong to open your mouth and beg Your Majesty together." ”

"No, no, you don't need to help me intercede, just let Your Majesty let my emperor go, I don't care, you go and ask Your Majesty for mercy. ”

Duanwang Zou frowned, and said helplessly, "My father has just kicked me out, and he doesn't want to listen to our pleas now." ”

"Hmph, you don't want to, Your Majesty loves Concubine Qiong so much, as long as you speak together, Your Majesty will definitely let go, aren't you really pleading for your brother?"

"Now the people in the court are aggressive, even if my father has the heart, he has to explain to them. ”

"Heh, it's just keeping the life of a deposed prince, can't Your Majesty call the shots? If you don't want to intercede, forget it, I don't want to bother you, you can go." ”

King Duan naturally won't leave, he still has something to ask.

Concubine Zheng walked back to her place and sat down, from the small table shrouded in darkness on the side, she touched an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin, turned around, leaned into the candlelight, and looked at it carefully.

remembered that after the queen led people to search the palace, she picked up this phoenix hairpin from her cherished treasure box and glanced at herself condescendingly.

"In the past, you still had an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin to wear, so you had to stare at the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin in this palace, but unfortunately, you won't even be able to bring the eight-tailed hairpin in the future, so I will leave this hairpin to you to see, lest you say that I don't miss my love for many years. ”

Arrogantly throwing the hairpin next to him and not looking back, it really takes the attitude of a victor to the extreme.

"Why don't you leave. ”

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask. ”

"Ask, ask to play and leave quickly, just because I haven't raised you. ”

King Duan calmed down, "I want to know what happened to my mother's concubine back then, how she died." ”

Concubine Zheng sneered, "You want to ask, did I kill her?" ”

"Please tell us the truth. ”

"Back then, my status was not high, and I had to rely on your favored mother to protect myself, even if I hated her in my heart, I could only endure it, but unfortunately I could endure it, others couldn't bear it, she was favored by His Majesty back then, although the Empress Yuan was His Majesty's original match, and was respected, but she has been in poor health Your mother is pregnant, and she has a threat to her, she moved her fingers slightly, and your mother will leave you forever. ”

"How do you know it's her, since you know why you didn't help my mother, you are lying, Empress Yuan is not such a person. ”

Concubine Zheng glanced at him mockingly, "There are only women, who know women best, in order to protect their children, they can't do anything, and Empress Yuan is not a saint." ”

"You mean, Empress Yuan harmed my mother for the sake of her eldest brother's status. ”

"As far as I know, that's it. ”

Concubine Zheng said again, "Some people are like this, they look like saints on weekdays, once their vital interests are touched, they will get rid of others with a smile, do you think King Ye is really so simple and upright?"

King Duan's heart stirred up a huge wave, and he barely suppressed it, and only said, "I will check these things, and I will find a way to ask my father, just wait." ”

Concubine Zheng was silent.

Duan Wang steadied his steps and walked out, and when he was about to go out, he only heard Concubine Zheng say, "You must spare your brother's life." ”

Duanwang paused, but did not stop, walked out, and Xiao Xu, who was guarding the door, helped close the door and went out.

walked to the gate, reluctantly explained a few words to the guards, and left, thanking Xiao Xu Gonggong at the corner, suggesting that Xiao Xu Gonggong should not spread the words he heard tonight, and asked him to help thank Xu Gonggong for his kindness, and hurriedly went out of the palace with people.

Although King Duan has always been a little suspicious of the death of his mother, but he has no power of his own, he has grown up under the knees of Concubine Zheng since he was a child, and he is always watched, and he has no chance to verify, and it is not easy to get rid of control, and the clues he got are so unbelievable, he has thought of countless possibilities, and he has never thought that everyone praises him, and the queen of Yuan, whose virtue is spread all over the world, will be the real murderer.

And the eldest brother, who has always been respected, is the cause of this incident, but he is standing in the camp of the eldest brother, is he wrong again?

The hour was so late, the queen's palace, the lights were still brilliant, I saw her sipping tea, while listening to the report of the person kneeling down, with the person's report, the queen's mood gradually improved, everything was under control.

Soon after, someone hurried to the queen's palace to ask for an audience.

It turned out to be someone from Zheng's side again, Concubine Zheng is now alone, and there is only one maid sent by the queen in the entire palace, who specially looks at Concubine Zheng.

"Niangniang, please forgive the slave and maid for not being well guarded, the Zheng family committed suicide shortly after King Duan left. ”

The queen raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect the Zheng family to be quite tough, if she died, she would die, anyway, her goal had been achieved.

"Concubine Zheng used the phoenix hairpin left by her mother to kill herself, so don't you have to deal with it?"

"It's okay, don't panic, you go and tell Your Majesty the truth. ”
