The breeze blows the leaves, the red flowers are enchanting, and the sun is shining outside, but when he reaches the eaves, he is deterred, as if he does not dare to disturb the conversation of the two harem masters in the house. The sandalwood in the room is soothing, and the Empress Dowager He is tired and reclining on the soft couch, closing her eyes and enjoying the moderate kneading of the palace maid next to her, and there is a slight feeling of comfort between her eyebrows.

Good things are incomparable, disasters do not go alone, and troubles come one after another.

Empress Dowager He couldn't help but wonder if Shaohua was in harmony with the palace, and always felt that every time she entered the palace, she would inevitably make some waves. Even if she touched the mechanism and slipped into the tunnel, it was enough to give her a headache. She hadn't touched this secret path for two or three years, and she didn't know how many bones were tired in it, if she had a fetal gas, she was afraid that Mrs. Yan would really fight with her.

I just wanted to use her as a threat, so that Yan Kaizhi could restrain some of his hands and feet, and he had to avoid the secret stumbling of the emperor's son. The result is good, the thing didn't work out, but there was a feeling of stealing chickens and rice, Mrs. Yan, who had always stood on her side, almost fell out with her, and the queen even came to block her.

Empress Dowager He raised her hand, motioned for the palace maid to step back, and looked at the glamorous young woman sitting in front of her, the original noble and elegant temperament had long been wiped out in the loneliness of the deep palace. The beautiful face also looks thin, not at all like the queen of the world at the edict ceremony.

He Wanru saw the Queen Mother sit up, and hurriedly got up to help her, put a soft pier on her back, and heard her say faintly: "I don't blame you for this, but it's a pity that you didn't have enough means and almost stabbed the basket." ”

"But......" He Wanru quietly breathed a sigh of relief, frowning and hesitating.

Empress Dowager He obviously didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore, and said impatiently: "Okay, just drive them out, I don't care whose seed they have in their stomachs, and no one is allowed to stay." ”

Hearing the palace maid say that He Wanru came to see her in a hurry, what happened to her, but after listening to He Wanru's words, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but sneer.

It has been many years since the emperor and queen got married, but He Wanru's belly has not moved, the imperial doctor has been consulted almost every day, and Hongyi has been resting in He Wanru's house for most of the time, but he can't even jump out. Empress Dowager He couldn't help but suspect that something was wrong with her son, but a palace maid who was accidentally fortunate was actually pregnant with a dragon seed at one time, and was even promoted to Wanyi exceptionally.

Empress Dowager He finally put her eyes back on He Wanru's belly.

She knew in her heart that as a queen, if she couldn't conceive the emperor's eldest son, it would be an extremely troublesome thing.

Fortunately, that Wanyi gave birth to only a princess, and Hongyi never spoiled her again, but there are many concubines in the harem, and she can prevent it once, but she can't prevent it so many times. And always secretly leaving the children of other concubines behind, it will only make the royal family more restful.

Empress Dowager He had no choice but to let He Wanru lift the people around her, and then bring him over to raise the eldest son of the emperor. Unexpectedly, in the harem, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. He Wanru's intentions were known to Concubine Yu, and she followed suit, trying to conceive the dragon seed one step earlier than the queen.

"Yes, please rest assured, A-Niang, I have already instructed me to pull out of the capital before dark." He Wanru's tone was firm, and she must not be tolerated in this matter. So while dealing with it, thinking that the carriage should have left the city at this time, He Wanru ran to cry with the Queen Mother's aunt.

Empress Dowager He's eyes became sharp, and she sneered frequently: "This concubine is really amazing, you just want to use your belly to conceive a dragon seed, and she actually brought the seed." Hum! If you want to change the tanuki for the prince, find a wild seed from nowhere to pretend to be, and she can figure it out! ”

He Wanru just wanted the palace maid beside him to conceive Hongyi's child, and then leave the child to his mother and raise the child under his knees. But after all, the child's father is definitely Hongyi, but Concubine Yu actually asked the pregnant palace maid to invite Hongyi to pet, trying to emulate Zhao Ji. It's a pity that the emperor's favor didn't wait, but someone discovered the secret and told the queen. As soon as He Wanru knew about it, he was immediately frightened and asked people to start a thorough investigation of the palace maids who were not virgins, but they were all sent out of the palace if they were pregnant.

"Yes, if I hadn't found it early, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy to clean up." He Wanru said it, and felt palpitations.

"Can't clean up? Then don't clean it up, it's an eyesore to keep it. Empress Dowager He snorted coldly and slapped the table hard, and the muffled sound of the jade bracelet knocking on Nanmu made He Wanru immediately straighten his back.

She hurriedly sat down and replied in a whisper: "What A-Niang said is very true. ”

So many things happened in one day alone, and the Empress Dowager He also looked very tired, and advised: "Pay more attention to your own body, and you must take no less medicine, otherwise, you are not the only lady of the He family." ”

At this moment, He Wanru had to cheer up and replied: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

They all knew in their hearts that the queen must be from the He family, and the crown prince must also be from the He family, but there is more than one He family in the He family, but she is the most suitable candidate.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were silent thoughtfully, and suddenly heard someone running in in surprise: "The Queen Mother is not good, something is wrong, something is wrong!" ”

Empress Dowager He's nerves that had just calmed down were immediately tensed again, and she was so angry that she grabbed the dragonfly green lotus plate on the shelf, and smashed it without thinking about it. "Shut up!" I don't think she was frightened enough, and she dared to shout so much in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Yingshang Palace, who rushed to the door after hearing this, stood at the door, saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and the inner servants who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, and immediately asked people to come over to clean the broken porcelain. He Wanru was also frightened to stand up, looking at the scene in front of her, it seemed that it was rare to see Empress Dowager He so irritable and impulsive, she hesitated for a moment and said goodbye to Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He didn't stop her, she had better not come over to bother her now.

When He Wanru left and Yingshang Palace also came in to serve, Empress Dowager He said angrily: "Get in and talk to me." ”

The chamberlain almost crawled over, he had just been scared half to death in the dark passage, and now he escaped from the secret passage and made the queen mother angry again, and he almost felt that he saw the impermanence of the locked soul passing by the window.

He didn't dare to raise his head, his whole body trembled, and he stammered and reported: "Hui, Hui Empress Dowager, Mother, haunted, haunted, Mrs. Hou is gone." ”

Now I had to wait for the Empress Dowager He to speak, Yingshang Palace was angry, she came over and kicked the chamberlain, and shouted: "Where did the haunting come from in broad daylight, give me a good talk!" ”

The waiter swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before re-saying: "It's really haunted, the servant just asked Pingshun to take two people down, but there was no news after waiting for a long time." The minion asked people to take a look again, but as soon as they went down, they found that Pingshun had broken his bones and fainted on the ground, and the other two were nowhere to be found. As soon as he remembered the situation he had just gone down to check, the waiter was almost so frightened that he peed his pants.

"What about the man?!" Empress Dowager He was a little frightened when she heard this, and her expression became fierce.

"People, people are also dizzy, but Mrs. Hou is gone." The chamberlain was almost crying.

"You've all looked for it?" Empress Dowager He asked.

The chamberlain was about to bury his head in the ground, but he trembled and cried, "No, it's haunted inside, and I don't dare to go down." ”

Yingshang Palace noticed that Empress Dowager He's face was displeased, and immediately walked over, lifted the face of the waiter, and slapped him hard, "Useless things, where did the ghost come from, immediately roll down and find out the person." ”

The legs of the waiter kneeling on the ground were weak, and he couldn't stand up at all, "Queen Mother, the slave really didn't lie, the slave went down in person, but、But I saw Concubine Yiniang!" The waiter's scream made Empress Dowager He miss a beat in her heart when she heard it, and she was so frightened that Yingshang Palace hurriedly went over to give her a good breath, "It's true, Concubine Yi Niangniang is still wearing Mrs. Hou's clothes, smiling at the slave, and the slave ran out in fright." ”

To say that they are not afraid, it is a lie, they know in their hearts what this secret passage is for, and they have carried corpses in and out several times. But since Concubine Yi was closed, no one has gone in, so long has passed, if what he just saw was not a ghost, then what else could it be. Besides, she was still wearing Shaohua's clothes, and where did the inner servant dare to go in to find someone, she was mourning the Buddha's name for this thin-lived Mrs. Hou.

"Impossible!" Empress Dowager He relieved herself and shook her head to herself.

Concubine Yi was imprisoned by her own hands, and more than two years have passed, and it is impossible to be alive.

However, she couldn't just let Shaohua go inside, even if there was only a corpse left, she had to carry it out. Otherwise, don't say that Mrs. Yan wants to fight with her, I'm afraid Hongyi won't let it go so easily.

Empress Dowager He's whole heart was in a mess, the green tendons on her forehead were faintly popping out, and her eyes were hideous and bloodshot, making people look more terrible than ghosts. She pressed one hand to her chest, trying to soothe her restless heart, but the shiver on her body reminded her of the futility of her efforts.

In the past, some palace people often heard cries and cries for help when they talked about Qingyue Palace, but she never cared. Because the exit of the secret passage is under the back wing of the Qingyue Palace, she let people seal the palace, because it is deserted and no one enters or leaves, and the Empress Dowager He thinks that the people below are using this to spread falsehood. But if it is really Concubine Yi, then the haunting of Qingyue Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say.

Yingshang Palace looked at her with a pale face, and shouted worriedly: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Empress Dowager He came back to her senses and made up her mind, her eyes suddenly regained their clarity, and she quickly calmed down her majesty, "Send me more people down, whether it is a person or a ghost, you are not allowed to stay!" "Yingshang Palace understands what Empress Dowager He means, if it is just haunted, it would be better, if Concubine Yi is really alive, I am afraid that there will be a bigger mess if it is known.

The reason why Concubine Yi was driven into the cold palace at the beginning, in addition to being implicated by Liu Shangshu, probably only Empress Dowager He knew that Concubine Yi was snubbed on the charge of poisoning the emperor. Otherwise, with her original favor, even if her brother fell off the horse, she would not have fallen to this point. The first emperor didn't believe that Concubine Yi would be poisoned, but Empress Dowager He couldn't help but believe it.

"What about Mrs. Hou?" Yingshanggong felt that he had asked a stupid question.

Empress Dowager He raised her eyes coldly and spit out a sentence: "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." ”

Originally, she asked Shaohua to be carried out, but she also planned to throw her in the Qingyue Palace, so she was regarded as if she had entered by mistake. As for whether it is haunted or not, whether there will be an accident or not, she can ignore it at that time, but the premise is that Shaohua must be found first.
