The two of them soon came to the edge of the cold palace, and sure enough, they saw a group of people gathered there, and there were several palace maids and eunuchs inside, dragging a crazy lady with a stick in her hand, as if she was ready to beat her to death, and Wan Zhen'er was standing there with a face covered in mud.

Queen Wang and Empress Dowager Zhou didn't recognize Wan Zhen'er for a while. Queen Wang helped the Empress Dowager Zhou and walked in front of Wan Zhen'er, Wan Zhen'er saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou and Queen Wang were here, but she was not too worried, she knew that now Wang Guanghou was in her group.

So when he saw the Empress Dowager Zhou and Queen Wang, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying, "The concubines see the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and said, "Anyway, why are you looking like mud, what happened." ”

Wan Zhen'er said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, when Zhen'er passed by here just now, this crazy woman, indiscriminately, picked up mud from the ground and threw Zhen'er on her head. Zhen'er is very depressed now, and she wants to catch this crazy woman and ask the steward to check on her to see which palace maid she is, and wants to send her back. ”

"Oh, is that really what you plan?" Queen Wang smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent moon, looking at Wan Zhen'er, the voice she spoke, the corners of her mouth were quite smiling.

Wan Zhen'er nodded and said, "That's exactly what the concubine planned. ”

Queen Wang's words are a little strange for Wan Zhen'er. Obviously, Queen Wang and herself are in the same group, why the tone of her speech just now is a little unpredictable.

But then, Queen Wang's words changed her mind, and Queen Wang said to Queen Mother Zhou with a smile: "Queen Mother, you see, this crazy woman actually beat Sister Zhen'er like this, what a shameful thing it is to spread this matter." If Sister Zhen'er wants to teach her a lesson, it is understandable. ”

While talking to the Empress Dowager Zhou, Empress Wang looked up at her, who knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou didn't move, and looked at the woman fixedly, as if she was crazy.

Seeing this, Queen Wang felt that things might be different from what she imagined, so she hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

Only then did the queen mother react, and she said to the eunuchs and palace maids: "You pull back to la, don't hurt her." ”

The eunuch palace maid, when she saw the Queen Mother, hurriedly knelt down, and asked the Empress Dowager Zhou for peace, and when they heard the Empress Dowager Zhou say this, they remembered that Wan Zhen'er had beaten this crazy woman to death with a stick just now, and they didn't know how to choose for a while.

Seeing this, Wan Zhen'er hurriedly reprimanded them and said: "Of course you have to listen to the Queen Mother's words, what the Queen Mother tells you to do, you can do it, you know?" In this harem, it is the Queen Mother who is in charge. ”

Those eunuchs and palace maids, when they heard Wan Zhen'er say this, hurriedly agreed: "Obey the will of the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was a little unhappy at that time, she just gave an order, ordering these eunuchs and little palace maids not to hurt this crazy woman, but they obviously didn't listen to their own words, but they had to consult Wan Zhen'er's opinion before they obeyed their will. Isn't this a clear statement, you can't get along with yourself, and you have no face? Empress Dowager Zhou didn't go in obliquely, and glanced at Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er also felt the Empress Dowager Zhou's glance, she only felt a chill down her spine, but she endured the panic in her heart, and still had a signature smile on her face.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the crazy woman carefully, looked at it for a long time, and then said, "It turned out to be you, sister, are you okay?" ”

Wan Zhen'er and Queen Wang didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhou would suddenly call the woman her sister.

Both of them were taken aback, looking at each other, with a look of surprise in their eyes, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

But Empress Dowager Zhou didn't seem to notice the emotional changes of the two people at all, she kept looking at the crazy lady fixedly, and said, "Sister, have you forgotten who I am now?"

The mad lady suddenly broke away from the little eunuch, pointed at the Empress Dowager Zhou, and laughed. She said: "I haven't forgotten who you are, are you Zhu'er, you are Zhu'er, Zhu'er turned out to be your cheap maid, you maid, you palace maid, it was you who caused this palace to become what it is today, and this palace will not let you go." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou has always been an arrogant person, and if anyone in this harem accidentally offends her, it must be a catastrophe. Who knows, others thought that after this mad lady scolded her, Empress Dowager Zhou would be furious, who knows, after she heard this crazy lady's scolding, she turned out to be unheard. She said to the mad lady for a long time: "Sister, now you are not conscious, so sister, I don't care about you, and the mourning family should not hear what you say." ”

"Mourning family, you are mourning family, what is this palace? What kind of thing are you, the emperor, where are you, look at this calculating me, this bullying me......" She shouted loudly and cried again and again, and for a while, everyone didn't know what to do.

Empress Dowager Zhou almost stepped forward to help her, but she opened it with her dirty hand, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her, helpless, shook her head and said: "Come on, send Concubine Shun Niangniang, don't let her go to the cold palace again, just send her to ......"

Before she finished her words, Queen Wang wanted to take the opportunity to please the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she said to her: "Queen Mother, since you like Concubine Shun so much, then let Concubine Shun live in the side hall of my Kunning Palace, and there are houses in my Kunning Palace." ”

Queen Wang's move made it clear that she was very favored by the Empress Dowager Zhou, it turned out that this Concubine Shun was none other than the concubine of the former emperor, Concubine Shun turned out to be one of the emperor's favorite concubines, and when the Empress Dowager Zhou was before, she was Concubine Shun's maid, and her descendants followed Concubine Shun into the palace and became the palace maid by her side. Because the emperor loves Concubine Shun very much, he takes great care of Concubine Shun.

Concubine Shun is kind by nature and very good to people, especially to the Empress Dowager Zhou, for more than ten years, she has treated the Empress Dowager Zhou as her own biological sister, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is also loyal to her.

Empress Dowager Zhou is not good to everyone, but she is single-minded to this concubine, just like Mu Xue is now to Queen Wang.

And Concubine Shun is also very good to the Empress Dowager Zhou, she treats her as her own sister, and the two of them feel very good, even surpassing their biological sisters.

But what Concubine Shun didn't expect was that once, the emperor went to the palace to favor Concubine Shun, but Concubine Shun was not there, and the emperor accidentally bumped into it, so he favored the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou also became a man in one fell swoop because of this incident. The emperor named the Empress Dowager Zhou as a nobleman, and this incident hit Concubine Shun hard.

She felt that her dearest sister and her husband had betrayed her, and she could not accept it in any way. So after weighing it again and again, she targeted the Empress Dowager Zhou everywhere, although the Empress Dowager Zhou was promoted to a small nobleman at that time, she was very sharp to anyone, but for this concubine, she was tolerant everywhere.

And Concubine Shun finally came to the end, and she actually came up with a vicious idea, wanting to poison the son of the Empress Dowager Zhou, that is, the current emperor Zhu Jianshen.

But at the last moment, Concubine Shun's move to give up was also because she gave up her practice, and her conspiracy was exposed. After the conspiracy was revealed, the emperor was furious and sent Concubine Shun into the cold palace.

And Empress Dowager Zhou also had some resentment towards Concubine Shun in her heart at that time, so she refused to see her for many years. Later, as the days passed day by day, the Empress Dowager Zhou put all her thoughts on competing for favor in the harem, and her son Zhu Jianshen, she gradually forgot about Concubine Shun.

So much so that she later became the queen mother, and she didn't remember Concubine Shun at all.

Until today, she and Queen Wang heard that there were people here who were noisy and came to see, and when they saw this crazy woman, the first time she saw her, she recognized that this crazy woman was not someone else, but her good sister Concubine Shun.

She heard Concubine Shun scolding herself again and again, and she couldn't hold her breath in her heart. But since the Empress Dowager Zhou was in her life, she has rarely been able to tolerate people in her heart, but this Concubine Shun is the only person she can tolerate.

Except for Zhu Jianshen, she regards Concubine Shun as her closest relative, so Concubine Shun scolds her like this, she can also ignore it, and she also wants people to take good care of Concubine Shun. Anyway, Concubine Shun has also taken care of herself for more than ten years.

But Concubine Shun is the former emperor's criminal concubine, if she overturns the case for her, and then resettles her well, this is always a little unreasonable.

It's just that if she is still allowed to live in this cold palace and continue to go crazy, then she can't bear it in her heart.

When I was thinking about it and didn't know what to do, at this time, Queen Wang took the opportunity to please her and let her live in the side hall first.

Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied with this arrangement, and she felt that Empress Wang's arrangement was simply very good.

In this way, Concubine Shun can not only not suffer in the cold palace, but also do not have to restore her original name in an instant, making it difficult for her to do, in short, this is a good way to get the best of both worlds.

Concubine Shun was pressed there by the eunuchs and palace maids, and shouted stupidly for a long time. After shouting for a long time, seeing that there was no effect, he also felt tired, so he was stunned there and didn't say a word. So, the Empress Dowager Zhou ordered someone to send her to the side hall of the Queen Kunning Palace.

Queen Wang supported the Empress Dowager Zhou and said to her cautiously: "Queen Mother, don't worry, the concubine will definitely take care of Concubine Shun and not let her suffer the slightest grievance, and the concubine will definitely do her best to be good to Concubine Shun." Since Concubine Shun is the sister of the Queen Mother, it is good for Concubine Shun to be good, and it is also a thought for the Queen Mother, and please accept the Queen Mother with a smile. Queen Wang said solemnly.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhou nodded and said, "You are really a good boy, okay, let's go back." ”

She walked a few steps, turned her head again, squinted her eyes, looked at Wan Zhen'er and said, "Concubine Wan, if you're okay, don't walk around in this harem, if you collide with something, it won't be good." With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Wan Zhen'er didn't expect that she would be reprimanded by Empress Dowager Zhou even though the victim was her. And the madman who picked up the mud and beat himself didn't have anything to do.

Wan Zhen'er has always been angry about the fact that the queen robbed her of the opportunity, and she herself was embarrassed in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, but she didn't think much about it, she only thought that the queen was because she was taught by her, and she sold well in front of the queen mother, she didn't expect that the queen at this moment was completely different from the queen who had no quarrel with the world that day.

Wan Zhen'er looked at the concubine Shun angrily and said, and she didn't expect that a palace maid in the harem would become the sister of the Empress Dowager Zhou, it was really funny to say it.

That Mama Chen hurriedly said that she went to help Wan Zhen'er and said, "Niangniang, Niangniang, please don't be impatient, Niangniang will go with me to freshen up first!" In fact, the slave maid is also to blame for this matter, it was the slave maid who looked away for a while, and didn't even find that since the crazy palace maid was the concubine of the year, if the slave maid had already found out, it would not have affected the maid so far. ”

Wan Zhen'er said very depressedly: "That's it, Mama Chen, you don't have a heart, this palace maid looks unkempt and crazy, who knows that she is the original Shun Concubine Niangniang!" ”

Mama Chen helped Wan Zhen'er to walk forward, and whispered: "This Concubine Shun Niangniang actually has a deep relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhou, when the Empress Dowager Zhou was originally a personal maid by Concubine Shun's side, and later occasionally got the favor of the emperor, and gave birth to a boy, I didn't expect Concubine Shun Niangniang to go crazy because of this, this matter is really too sighing!" ”

Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen say this, she immediately said: "Mama Chen, this is what people say, in this harem, either you die or I die, often the momentum of fighting, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind blows down the east wind, so the palace has to deal with Tang Jingran no matter what, and it is absolutely impossible for her to live so well." ”

Mama Chen nodded, she was a little hesitant, but she still couldn't help but say to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, I don't know if you have noticed today, this queen seems to be different from usual?" ”

Wan Zhen'er looked at her with some disdain: "Queen Wang, this palace didn't find any difference between her and usual, in this palace, Queen Wang has always been like this." ”

"No, please listen to the slave maid, when Niangniang was the queen before, she did what Niangniang taught her to do, and Niangniang taught her to say whatever she wanted, this person has always been indisputable with the world, and it looks very Muna, and just now, she rushed to sell it to the Queen Mother, which is really beyond people's imagination!"

Wan Zhen'er shook her hand with a smile and said: "Mama Chen, it's not that this palace doesn't believe in your judgment, but I'm afraid you made a mistake this time, where does she have such a big ability, don't worry, this palace has always been very accurate, what kind of person is this queen and queen, this palace can see it with her eyes closed, she definitely doesn't have that much courage, and the first person we have to deal with at the moment is Tang Jingran." ”

Mama Chen nodded helplessly and said, "Since this is the case, then everything will be under the orders of the mother!" ”

So, Mama Chen helped Wan Zhen'er to freshen up without mentioning it.

Let's say that after the queen took in the crazy concubine Shun, Concubine Shun made a lot of noise in her Kunning palace every day, and the more the queen saw Concubine Shun like this, the more she showed a very humble posture, although she was really angry with this concubine in her heart, and she was even more reluctant to adopt a madman in her palace to let others see the joke.

But she knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou was afraid of feeling guilty about Concubine Shun in her heart, so she did it in order to please the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she really won the favor of the Empress Dowager Zhou, who not only praised the queen in front of the concubines and concubines many times, praised the queen's virtue, but also rewarded the queen with many things.

Seeing that Queen Wang was like this, Mu Xue faced her and said, "Niangniang, now it seems that the Queen Mother has trusted the Queen Mother?" ”

Queen Wang nodded and said: "That's right, the only thing the palace has to do now is to gain the trust of the queen mother, as long as you can gain the trust of the queen mother, you will definitely be able to stand tall in this harem at that time." ”

Mu Xue saw that Queen Wang was different from usual, and couldn't help but look at her with some hesitation, and finally nodded after a while, and said, "Niangniang, are you a little different from before?" ”

Queen Wang's eyes showed a resolute look, her eyes skipped a trace of blood-like blood, she said: "Yes, this palace is different from before, in the past, this palace was very simple, never thought about what to fight with others, what to rob, what to grab, in this harem, this palace thinks that as long as you can avoid the edge of others, there is no quarrel with the world, then you will be able to live in peace, who would have thought that in fact it is not like this, this palace has never provoked anyone, but there are people who have been rushing to this palace, Even the children of the main palace can't be saved, in that case, how can the main palace sit still and let them bully like this? ”

Mu Xue saw that Queen Wang was a little excited, and hurriedly gently held her shoulder and said: "Niangniang, you remember everything you said about Mu Xue, Mu Xue also agrees with what Niangniang said, no matter what Niangniang does, Mu Xue will definitely do her best to support Niangniang." ”

Queen Wang nodded, and said to Mu Xue very affectionately: "Mu Xue, I am deceived in this harem, and now no one in this palace can be trusted, the only person who can be trusted is you, you must not let this palace down, right?" ”

"Niangniang, don't worry, Mu Xue will consider Niangniang's interests first no matter what she does in the future, everything is premised on Niangniang's interests, and she will definitely not disappoint Niangniang."

While they were talking, Concubine Shun outside was making a big noise again, and Queen Wang couldn't help frowning.

Mu Xue observed her words and looks, and when she saw Queen Wang's actions, she knew that she was very dissatisfied in her heart, so she couldn't help but say to her: "Since Niangniang is very dissatisfied with this Shun concubine, why don't you go out now to help Niangniang send her to rest?" ”

Queen Wang lowered her head and thought for a long time and said: "No, if this is the case, this matter will reach the ears of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not let go of the palace so easily." ”

"Alas, why did the Queen Mother know today? If he had known that this would happen today, why would he do that kind of thing to Concubine Shun in the first place? Mu Xue couldn't help but sigh.

Queen Wang glared at her and warned her very solemnly: "Mu Xue, you can just say these things in front of the palace, but you must not tell anyone after you go out, do you know?" This harem is full of the ears and eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhou, if something reaches the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, not only will you die, but also many people will be implicated. ”

Mu Xue's heart sank, and she hurriedly said to her: "Niangniang, Mu Xue remembered everything you just said, and Mu Xue just lost her words for a while and didn't dare anymore." ”

When the two were talking, suddenly a little eunuch outside came to tell me that Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen were here, and Queen Wang didn't want to see Wan Zhen'er, but now she doesn't need Wan Zhen'er to give advice, because she doesn't plan to deal with Tang Jingran with Wan Zhen'er, because she feels that the person who needs to be eliminated urgently is not Tang Jingran, but Wan Zhen'er.

However, she knew that if she didn't see Wan Zhen'er now, she would definitely startle the snake, making Wan Zhen'er think that she had a different heart, so that she would be on guard against herself, so that if she wanted to attack Wan Zhen'er, I am afraid it would be impossible.
