The crazy woman who had rushed into Chang Lingyan had been kidnapped by the guards, with a dirty rag in her mouth, which should have been torn from her body.

She struggled desperately, screaming "whining" in her mouth, her hair was messy, wet with sweat, and covered her face.

The guard kicked her down fiercely, and she immediately fell to the ground, rubbing her face with mud.

Because she was tied up strongly, she struggled for a long time and couldn't get up, and she was very embarrassed. It was a guard who stepped forward and pulled her up, and his movements were extremely rude.

The Empress Dowager and Mo Guhan looked her up and down suspiciously, and they couldn't believe it for a while.

The crazy woman's eyes lit up, her emotions suddenly became excited, and she struggled to stand up, and pounced on Mo Guhan, but was quickly stopped by the guard's eyes.

In Mo Guhan's memory. The virtuous concubine is quiet and elegant, fragrant as Lanting, where is this description? And the furrow on that face looked haggard and pale mulberry, worse than the forty-year-old woman who was exposed to the wind and rain every day.

He asked suspiciously, "Are you a virtuous concubine?" ”

The madwoman listened to him, nodded excitedly, and tears burst into her eyes, washing her dirty face very fancy.

"I still recognize people, I'm not confused, take out what is in her mouth." The Empress Dowager commanded.

Immediately, a guard stepped forward, took the rag out of her mouth, and threw it aside in disgust.

The virtuous concubine's mouth was free, and she choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine finally sees you again, and I want to be a concubine." ”

A sentence of true affection moved the listener.

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Who said she was crazy? Isn't that good? ”

After all, he used to be his pillow person, Mo Guhan saw that she was in a miserable situation, and he felt a little unbearable: "Are you okay?" ”

The concubine shook her head: "It's not good, the emperor, they all want to harm me and our children, the emperor, the concubine should never go back, the concubine should stay by the emperor's side." ”

Mo Guhan glanced at the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly: "After all, I am confused." ”

"Who's confused? Don't listen to their nonsense, they're all jealous of me! ”

The voice of the virtuous concubine suddenly became sharp, as if she had been pricked by a needle, and jumped up, glaring angrily at the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Virtuous concubine, do you still know the mourning family?" ”

The virtuous concubine nodded, bared her teeth, and showed her scorched teeth: "I know, I know, they all call you an old witch, and I hate to eat meat and bedding." ”

"Bold!" The guards behind him shouted loudly, and his subordinates exerted their strength.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand indifferently: "It's good to tell the truth if you like it." The mourning family asks you, how did you escape from the cold palace? ”

The virtuous concubine glanced at her and said seriously, "Why did you tell you?" Do you want to get out too? ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Mo Guhan and hooked her lips slightly: "If you don't tell me, the emperor won't like you." ”

The virtuous concubine was suddenly shocked, and looked at Mo Guhan's pitiful face: "I said, I said, the door opened in a flash." ”

"Then why are you shaking that door?"

"There is incense powder outside the door, incense powder from all over the place, we have to dress up, waiting for the emperor to come and see us."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the guards behind her suspiciously: "You saw incense powder at the gate of the cold palace?" ”

The guard shook his head: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the incense powder she said is just lime powder, which the mother-in-law and eunuchs who guard the cold palace use to bluff them. Usually piled up on the corner of the door, maybe it rained heavily last night, and it rushed to the door, leaving many white ash marks. ”

Mo Guhan didn't believe it: "You said that the eunuchs used lime powder for them?" ”

The guards were startled by the coldness of Mo Guhan's body, and said in a trembling voice: "The people inside are not very sober anymore, and they are often noisy, for fear of alarming the masters in the palace." ”

The Empress Dowager snorted disappreciatively: "What's there to make a fuss about." ”

Mo Guhan pursed his lips and said no more.

The Empress Dowager bent down and continued to ask, "Then how did you get to the Imperial Garden, and did no one stop you on the way?" ”

The virtuous concubine said complacently: "I want to see the emperor, naturally I can't be like them, dressed in tatters, which is incompatible with this Forbidden City." Even if the emperor sees it, he will dislike it. So, I'm dressed up. Hehe, they were all arrested, and only I saw the emperor. ”

"Hehe, I'm not stupid." The Empress Dowager sneered: "Then how do you know that the emperor is in the imperial garden?" ”

The virtuous concubine tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and then said word by word: "Someone told me." ”

The Empress Dowager's expression suddenly froze: "Who?" ”

The virtuous concubine was taken aback and shook her head disdainfully: "A lowly little eunuch, how do I know who he is?" ”

"And what did he tell you?"

"Hmm...... He said that the emperor was in the imperial garden, accompanying Concubine Lian to enjoy the flowers. Concubine Lian is already pregnant, and she stole my child, so the emperor now favors her and won't pay attention to me. ”

"So, you went straight to the Imperial Garden in the direction he instructed, and then when you saw Concubine Lian, you immediately pounced on her and asked her to return your child?"

The virtuous concubine was dazed for a moment, then suddenly changed her face and sobbed: "It wasn't that she stole my child, my child was already big when he was lost, as big as a small pillow." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, straightened up, and said coldly to Mo Gu: "At the beginning, the mourning family said that she was guilty of defrauding the king, and she couldn't keep it, but the emperor didn't listen, and he had to spare her life, but now she was used and almost killed Ling Yan." ”

"The sin of deceit? No, no, no! The emperor knew that the concubine was really pregnant with a fetus, and someone stole my child. Your Majesty, you can't listen to the nonsense of this old witch and blame the concubine. ”

Mo Guhan also sighed helplessly: "She was calculated at the beginning, and she was pitiful, so I really can't bear it." Moreover, even without her today, others want to harm Ling Yan, and conspiracies and tricks are endless. ”

"Hmph, the mourning family wants to see who is so ruthless that he can't tolerate my royal heir."

The Empress Dowager squatted down, stared at the virtuous concubine, and coaxed: "If you can recognize the appearance of the little eunuch who showed you the way, how about the mourning family persuade the emperor to make you a concubine?" ”

The virtuous concubine was immediately overjoyed: "Really? ”

The Empress Dowager sneered and nodded: "When the mourning family speaks, it doesn't count." ”

The virtuous concubine shook her head excitedly: "I know, I know, he is not tall, the brim of the hat on his head is pressed low, covering most of his eyebrows and eyes, and he speaks in a sharp voice, just like ...... It's like a little rooster. ”

Then she turned her head in a panic and looked at the eunuchs in the palace, twisting her arms impatiently.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the guards behind her: "Untie up." ”

The guards untied the rope on her body, and as soon as the virtuous concubine raised her arm, she pointed to a eunuch in Tsing Yi in the hall: "It's him!" ”

The Empress Dowager turned her head coldly, and the accused little eunuch couldn't help but be frightened, and fell to her knees with "poof": "The Empress Dowager is wise, the slave has been staying in the palace and sweeping, and has not gone anywhere, Xiaoshanzi can testify to the slave." ”

The little eunuch beside him also immediately knelt on the ground tremblingly: "The slave can testify, the two of us are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the stagnant water in the courtyard, and we don't dare to slack off, and we don't take half a step out of the palace." ”

The virtuous concubine looked at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and then raised her hand again: "No, it seems that this is the case, and it is not right." ”

Her face was full of confusion and hesitation, apparently just random identification.

The Empress Dowager commanded in a deep voice: "Gather all the eunuchs in the palace." ”

Someone received the order to go down, and a few little eunuchs came over tremblingly, lined up, lowered their heads, and did not dare to come out, for fear of being accused of their own nonsense by her.

The Empress Dowager patiently asked the virtuous concubine: "Look at it again, is that person among these people?" ”

The virtuous concubine stepped forward cautiously and clapped her hands excitedly: "It's them, it's them, don't think that you are just covering half of your face, I don't know you, when I look at this dress, it is exactly the same." No, no, why are there so many of you, are you trying to harm me? ”

The virtuous concubine's eyes became more and more flustered, holding her lower abdomen tightly, and finally she screamed, and finally broke out hysterically: "I'm going to kill you, you will return my baby's life!" ”

The eunuchs were so frightened that the guards hurriedly stepped forward, restrained her hands and feet, and tied her up tightly.

The virtuous concubine writhed and struggled left and right, and shouted bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't you care about me? They're hurting me! ”

Mo Guhan sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Drag it down!" The concubine was immediately gagged again, and struggled all the way to be dragged down.

The Empress Dowager said hatefully: "Detain for two days first, find an imperial doctor to see if there is any help?" Wait until your mood is stable and then ask questions, if you keep being crazy like this, and you can't ask any clues, don't keep it. ”

"Don't you wait for her to slow down?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Since that person is so cunning, thinking of using her to harm Ling Yan, he will definitely not leave any clues, let us track down." The concubine also said that the eunuch deliberately covered his eyebrows. There are so many eunuchs in the palace, they are all dressed the same, how to distinguish them? ”

Mo Guhan was happy to end the matter: "This matter is all up to the imperial grandmother." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed resignedly: "That's it, whoever makes the mourning family worry about it." The emperor is busy, so you don't have to worry about this anymore. The stewards in this cold palace, the mourning family has to ask about it. A group of people rushed out of the cold palace, how much movement did it take, where did they all run to be lazy? ”

Mo Guhan was inconvenient to ask because the cold palace was full of concubines of some former emperors, and the empress dowager accepted it, and he couldn't ask for it.

"I will order someone to announce the affairs of the cold palace, and it is all up to the imperial grandmother."

Before he could open his mouth, he saw a mother-in-law at the door of the temple, probing her brain, and looking timidly inside.

Then someone from the palace came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the housekeeper in the cold palace came to report that the escaped concubines have been arrested, but only one person is still missing." ”

The Empress Dowager raised her head suddenly, and said sharply: "Take that thief into the mourning family!" ”
