Empress Dowager Qian became more and more confused by them, and asked repeatedly, "What happened?" You explain it clearly to the mourning family, so that the mourning family can decide whether to save you or not, and most importantly, you should make things clear. ”

So Zhu Jianchen told the ins and outs of the matter, of course, he didn't mention himself so viciously, but he took everything lightly.

After hearing him say these words, Empress Dowager Qian was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did she slowly say, "What you said is true?" ”

"Yes, what I said is true, I know what I did wrong, and ask the Queen Mother to punish the child and give the child a chance. Now if the child falls into the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he will definitely die. He pleaded as he spoke.

Empress Dowager Qian has always been a soft-hearted person, and after hearing him plead, she was a little shaken at that time.

Zhu Jianchen observed her words and looks, and after finding that her thoughts were shaken, he continued to say to her: "Niangniang, I have always been a descendant of Daming. “

Although Empress Dowager Qian has never gone out and is almost isolated from the world outside the palace, she is just wholeheartedly devoted to the Buddha, but she has more or less heard about what Zhu Jianchen did in the harem, but this is the case, so what can it be?

Who made Zhu Jianchen a descendant of the Ming Dynasty? If you don't save him now, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

Empress Dowager Qian was also hesitant for a while about whether to save Zhu Jianchen and Xia, Empress Dowager Qian knew that they had done so many bad things, but she couldn't watch Zhu Jianchen really have three strengths and two weaknesses.

She hesitated for a long, long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, the mourning family agrees to let you live in the mourning family's Buddhist hall temporarily. But in the next few days, you have to change your mind, you can't make any more trouble, you have to follow the mourning family to practice Buddhism, understand? ”

Empress Dowager Qian is a simple and kind person, although she has been in the harem for a long time, she has always been favored by the emperor, and she has not been embarrassed or encountered anything that makes it difficult for her to get through, so her thoughts are naturally very simple, she hopes that through her own transformation, Zhu Jianchen can become another person.

After Zhu Jianchen heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Empress Dowager Qian, don't worry, I have already made a mistake, and I will never do this kind of thing again in the future." ”

Empress Dowager Qian nodded: "People are not sages, who can be without fault, know mistakes and can change, and be good." As long as you still know how to change, it means that you are a very conscientious person, not the heinous person that others imagine. The mourning family saved you, for the sake of you being a child of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't cherish this opportunity, the mourning family has nothing to say. ”

Zhu Jianchen bowed and bowed to the Empress Dowager Qian, and hurriedly thanked the Empress Dowager Qian, so the Empress Dowager Qian left him here.

In the following days, on the one hand, Zhu Jianchen showed that he was very devoted to Buddhism and had no interest in outside things, and on the other hand, he coaxed the Empress Dowager Qian to trust him very much, and over time, the Empress Dowager Qian had already regarded him as her own.

When Empress Dowager Qian saw him there every day, she thought that he had completely reformed and was no longer the heinous person he was at the beginning, so she couldn't help but feel a little more good about him.

She didn't know that Zhu Jianchen had actually done a lot of things behind her back, and she didn't know that the rebel party in the palace had planned the baby boy and the baby girl by him, she thought that Zhu Jianchen had devoted himself to Buddhism, so he protected and loved him even more.

Then she never dreamed that Jian Huaizhen would send someone to search the palace, Empress Dowager Qian is a person who respects her elders very much, so she can't disobey the will of her elders anyway, when You Daxian said that she would take someone to search the palace, although she was very dissatisfied, she still agreed, so things became much more complicated next.

Next, You Daxian took people to search every place in her palace, including the Buddha Hall, she was very nervous, lest Xia and Zhu Jianchen be searched, especially Zhu Jianchen, Zhu Jianchen is a prince, in case he is caught, things will be much more difficult to do.

Whether Jian Huaizhen will let him go or not is still unpredictable.

When she was hesitating, she saw You Daxian's people come out, obviously Zhu Jianchen was not found, so she watched them leave.

After they left, she came to the Buddhist hall, looked around, and found that Zhu Jianchen was really gone, and Xia Lili was dressed as an ordinary palace maid on the side, but she didn't pay much attention, and she was not discovered.

Where did Zhu Jianchen go? Empress Dowager Qian looked at Xia and asked repeatedly, "What about King Jing?" Where did King Jing go? ”

Xia smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry, King Jing is fine." With that, he pointed to the beam.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhu Jianchen jumping off the beam, with a smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Let the Queen Mother worry." ”

When Empress Dowager Qian saw him jumping off the beam, his forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask him, "Are you okay?" You okay? Just now, the mourning family was worried to death, the mourning family was afraid that something would happen to you, and the mourning family wholeheartedly blocked them from bringing people to search the palace, but it was sent by the eldest princess, and the mourning family had nothing to say. Just now, the mourning family was afraid that you would be searched out, and how could the mourning family explain to the ancestors and ancestors when the time came. ”

After Zhu Jianchen heard her say this, his body trembled slightly, obviously touched by her words, and the time he spent with Empress Dowager Qian made Zhu Jianchen feel very warm.

Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou are two completely different people, Empress Dowager Zhou is a person who can do anything for her own ends, while Empress Dowager Qian is completely different, whatever Empress Dowager Qian does will think about others, she is single-minded to all people and is a very good person.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianchen couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, because he had even thought about dealing with Empress Dowager Qian when necessary, but now Empress Dowager Qian cared about him so sincerely, which made him feel very guilty.

So he glanced at the Empress Dowager Qian, and said to her slowly: "Empress Dowager, I put it here with you, and trouble the Empress Dowager to take good care of her on my behalf." ”

"What?" After listening to this, Empress Dowager Qian asked, "Where are you going?" I listen to you, it seems like you're going somewhere. ”

"Yes, now the eldest princess has suspected that I am hiding in the palace of the queen mother, although I haven't found it this time, presumably she will send someone to search the palace next. With the ingenuity of the eldest princess, how could she not have imagined that I was hiding on the beam? At that time, I'm afraid that I will also be searched out, and it will also affect the Queen Mother. ”

After hearing him say this, Empress Dowager Qian hesitated, but still said very resolutely: "Don't worry, you can live here, even if the people of the eldest princess really find here, the mourning family will definitely protect you at that time." After all, you are a member of the Ming royal family, and it is impossible for the mourning family to watch you encounter any danger no matter what. Besides, the mourning family has been with you for so long, and they found that you are not the kind of person they say you are, and the mourning family thinks that you are a very conscientious person. Maybe there is any misunderstanding in the past, and the mourning family will help you explain it to the eldest princess. ”

Every word she said was from the bottom of her heart, which made Zhu Jianchen very moved when he heard it.

Zhu Jianchen naturally understood that it was impossible for him to explain what he was going to do to Empress Dowager Qian, and he didn't know if Empress Dowager Qian would listen to him, no matter what, Empress Dowager Qian made him feel the warmth of his mother.

He shook his head and said to Empress Dowager Qian with a sneer: "Empress Dowager, you don't have to do so many things, how can the things decided by the eldest princess change?" And it's true that I did a lot of wrong things in the past, and I will definitely change it after I see it, and I won't continue to make mistakes. The Queen Mother, Jianchen retired first. After that, he went out.

Empress Dowager Qian hurriedly dragged him and said: "You just want to leave, you can't go out so openly during the day, there are so many people searching for you, in case you are caught by them, what should you do?" What's more, you should stay here in the mourning family, don't worry, the mourning family will protect you even if you fight for this old life. ”

Zhu Jianchen insisted on refusing, and Empress Dowager Qian saw that she had no way to convince him, so she had to let him, but Empress Dowager Qian asked him to change into a set of guard's clothes and go out again, so as not to be caught, and Empress Dowager Qian asked him to escape from the palace as soon as possible and find a place to recuperate from his injuries first, and he agreed one by one.

After talking to the Empress Dowager Qian, he instructed Xia a few more words, nothing more than to let Xia take good care of himself in the harem, and the two kept in touch, etc., and after telling Xia, he left quietly.

Probably the people in the harem never dreamed that Zhu Jianchen would dare to swagger around the palace during the day, so no one doubted him, and Zhu Jianchen arrived where he wanted to go very smoothly.

At this time, Wan Zhen'er was losing her temper in the palace, Wan Zhen'er thought about the whole thing carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, and she kept slamming the utensils in her hand to the ground.

She said angrily: "This palace is angry whenever I think of these things, if it weren't for this palace to help the emperor wholeheartedly, how could the emperor be able to escape?" But now that they are fine, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, they actually treat this palace, and this palace feels angry whenever they think about it. ”

"Niangniang, the slave knows that Niangniang is very sad, but what is the point of Niangniang being so angry?" Mama Chen persuaded on the side: "Niangniang should take care of her body, and wait to see if things take a turn for the better." ”

"Turnaround? According to the palace, there will definitely be no turn for the better, and what can happen to the things decided by the eldest princess? Hum. After saying this, she couldn't help but be indignant.

Mama Chen had no choice but to comfort her on the side, and after the two of them talked for a while, Wan Zhen'er's anger did not decrease, but became stronger, she said to Mama Chen: "Mama Chen, you come to evaluate the palace, are some things done wrong by the palace, or are they intentional by others?" Deliberately framing Hongu? ”

"This?" Mama Chen hesitated, not knowing how to answer Wan Zhen'er's question.

At this time, there was a burst of haha laughter, the laughter sounded very harsh, and very familiar, after Wan Zhen'er heard this laughter, she couldn't help but change her face, and Mama Chen's face suddenly became ugly, because they heard that this was Zhu Jianchen's laughter.

Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen looked at each other, they were very panicked, Wan Zhen'er asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhu Jianchen didn't know where it was, his voice seemed to come from all directions: "Don't the imperial sister-in-law know who the courtiers are?" ”

Needless to say, it must be Zhu Jianchen, because he claimed to be his younger brother, Wan Zhen'er was in a hurry, and hurriedly prepared to call the guards, shouting: "Someone." ”

Zhu Jianchen interrupted her coldly and said to her: "Imperial sister-in-law, you'd better not call someone, if you want to make yourself accused of harboring criminals, then you can call someone." ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't think so, she said hatefully: "As long as you are caught, there will be no charges in this palace." Not only that, but the eldest princess will also withdraw the punishment of the palace. ”

"I said, sister-in-law, you didn't enter the palace on the first day, right? How could your ideas be so naïve? You just said that the eldest princess would withdraw her punishment for you? ”

Wan Zhen'er was startled and looked at him with vigilant eyes.

Zhu Jianchen said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, why are you so nervous? Why do you need to be so nervous when you see me? Am I still bad for the royal sister-in-law? It's just that I advised the imperial sister-in-law not to be so naïve and naïve, okay? Do you think the things decided by the eldest princess can be changed? In my memory, the eldest princess has always had a saying, that is, you can't offset your mistakes, you will definitely be rewarded for your achievements, and you will definitely be punished for your mistakes. Commendation is one thing, punishment is another, and these two things simply cannot be confused. ”

After hearing him say this, Wan Zhen'er's face turned green, Wan Zhen'er knew that he was very reasonable in every word, and the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen was indeed such a person.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "So what? Even if this is the case, you shouldn't still be quietly hiding in the palace, hiding in the palace, you are so bold that you dare to come to the palace, don't you know that the palace is single-minded to the emperor? It will definitely not let you escape so easily, and you don't have to think about the relationship between the palace and the eldest princess. ”

"This king doesn't mean to drive a wedge between the eldest princess and the royal sister-in-law, if the imperial sister-in-law thinks so, I can't help it. It's just that I want to tell you the imperial sister-in-law, your imperial sister-in-law is also a smart person, what words should be listened to and what should not be heard, naturally she knows better than me. It's not that if I say anything to the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law can believe it or anything. Right? At this, he couldn't help but laugh.

After Wan Zhen'er heard him say this, she didn't say a word, but she still looked at him vigilantly.

"Actually, this matter is very simple, sister-in-law, and this matter can be called too simple to be simple. In fact, you have done a lot of things for the emperor, but you can't get the approval of the princess, not only can you not get the approval of the princess, but the princess also punished you, right? His every word hit Wan Zhen'er's heart.

Wan Zhen'er thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "So what? This palace does things for the emperor, it is the honor of this palace, as for what the eldest princess thinks, that is the idea of the eldest princess. Also, why did Hongu end up like it is today? Speaking of which, it wasn't you Zhu Jianchen who harmed it, if you hadn't sent someone to tell the palace that the blood of baby boys and girls could cure the emperor's illness, the palace would not have done such a thing, so that the eldest princess would have been reprimanded. ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, you can't blame me, I want to help you wholeheartedly. If it weren't for this method, how would the imperial sister-in-law know her value in the eyes of the eldest princess and the emperor? At this, he burst out laughing.

Wan Zhen'er knew that he was using a divisive strategy against himself, and he also knew that every word he said was to divide his feelings with Jian Huaizhen and the emperor, but he didn't know why, but after listening carefully, he felt that every word he said made sense, probably because Wan Zhen'er felt particularly wronged, and felt that every word he said was on his heart.

It is true that Wan Zhen'er has done a lot of things for the emperor, but the emperor and Jian Huaizhen are opposite, how did they treat Wan Zhen'er? Wan Zhen'er thought of this, and felt a little aggrieved for a while.

Zhu Jianchen observed the words and looks, and saw that Wan Zhen'er really had some grievances, and knew that his persuasion had an effect, so he continued to say to her: "Sister-in-law, actually, I shouldn't have come to you today. I thought that through this incident, the eldest princess and the emperor could feel the good intentions of the imperial sister-in-law, and would make the imperial sister-in-law the queen, but I didn't expect it to be the wish. ”

Of course, Wan Zhen'er refused to believe his statement, so her gaze at him was also very cold.

Zhu Jianchen didn't think there was anything inappropriate, he just smiled and said: "Actually, the imperial sister-in-law should thank me, if it weren't for me, how could the imperial sister-in-law know her status in the eyes of the eldest princess and the emperor, it turns out that the status of the imperial sister-in-law can be replaced at any time." When he said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Every word he said was like a needleprick, piercing Wan Zhen'er's heart, making Wan Zhen'er feel very uncomfortable inside.

Originally, Wan Zhen'er had already felt aggrieved after receiving such a punishment, but now, being so sarcastic by him, of course, felt very uncomfortable.

He continued: "There is one more thing, I don't know if it's true or not, I heard that the eldest princess has demoted the imperial sister-in-law to a nobleman, and when the emperor wakes up, she will officially implement this order. If the imperial sister-in-law is just a noble person at that time, then I really feel sorry for the imperial sister-in-law. In the past, the imperial sister-in-law didn't know how many concubines she had bullied, but now, these concubines will definitely turn around and find trouble with the imperial sister-in-law, how should the imperial sister-in-law deal with them when the time comes? When he said this, he burst out laughing.

Wan Zhen'er could also hear that what he said was the meaning of discord, so she said to him vigilantly: "King Jing, even if what you said is true, so what? Do you think that Hongu will be at your mercy? This palace will definitely not, even if this palace knows these things, but in the final analysis, this is also the fate of this palace, and this palace has nothing to complain about. Also, don't think that you can separate the feelings between the palace and the emperor and the eldest princess, the palace has always understood one thing, if the hair does not exist, the skin will be restored? Only if the emperor is good, the palace can be well. If the emperor has something long, then the palace is nothing. Even if the palace is now demoted to a nobleman, when the emperor remembers the good of the palace, the palace can still be a concubine again, and maybe she can be the queen. But if you let this palace support you, this palace is really nothing, so no matter what you say, this palace will not support you, this palace firmly believes that its own destiny is in its own hands. I must control my destiny by myself. ”

Wan Zhen'er said all the thoughts in her heart, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Zhu Jianchen coldly.

Who knew that Zhu Jianchen not only did not refute Wan Zhen'er, but clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, good, what the imperial sister-in-law said is very reasonable, and she is really very ambitious, in the end, I didn't misunderstand the imperial sister-in-law." ”

Wan Zhen'er didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so she raised her head and looked at him very vigilantly.

Zhu Jianchen said with a smile: "Originally, I came to the imperial sister-in-law today because I wanted to discuss something with the imperial sister-in-law. I'm also afraid that after the imperial sister-in-law is demoted, her fighting spirit will be exhausted, and there is no way to communicate with the imperial sister-in-law. Who knows, the imperial sister-in-law is still full of fighting spirit, this is really what I need, it seems that I didn't find the wrong person. ”

"You want to work with me? If you dream, this palace will not cooperate with you. Don't lie to this palace and say that in the future, let this palace support you to be an emperor, and then you will be crowned the queen of this palace, this kind of thing will not be listened to. Hongu also absolutely does not believe that you would like someone who is twenty years older than you, and now everything you say is false. Wan Zhen'er analyzed all this very authentically.

"No, no, no, the younger brother definitely doesn't mean this, if the younger brother really takes an emotional offensive against the imperial sister-in-law, then he is underestimating the imperial sister-in-law. The younger brother knows that the imperial sister-in-law is a person who can strategize and win thousands of miles away, and the younger brother admires the imperial sister-in-law very much, so how dare he insult the idea of the imperial sister-in-law? It's just that the younger brother has a better way, and then the fate of the imperial sister-in-law can be decided by himself, and there is no need for outsiders to be the masters at all. ”

"A better way? What can you do? Wan Zhen'er didn't want to hear it, but when Zhu Jianchen said this, she didn't know why, she had the idea of wanting to hear it, she said to herself, it's just a matter of listening, there is no harm in listening to it, and she won't be bewitched by Zhu Jianshen.

When Zhu Jianchen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, he immediately laughed and said to her: "Imperial sister-in-law, in fact, my method is very simple, that is, the imperial sister-in-law herself is the emperor. ”

"What did you say?" When Wan Zhen'er heard him say this, her voice suddenly became cold.

Let Wan Zhen'er be the emperor herself? What he said was ridiculous.
