The emperor looked at her and said coldly, "It turns out that you have already prepared a knife to kill me. ”

"Does the emperor dare to say that Chang'er's death has nothing to do with you?"

The emperor didn't speak, but Gao Cheng opened his mouth first: "Presumptuous, please pay attention to Chen Niangniang's identity!" ”

Those guards secretly pinched a handful of sweat for Mrs. Chen, who didn't know that the princess's death was because of the root of the disease brought out of the mother's womb, and she couldn't see the wind when she was born, she was a disaster-ridden person, although Mrs. Chen was sad, but she shouldn't blame the emperor! Isn't this self-defeating.....

Who knew that the emperor didn't look at her either, and coldly instructed Gao Cheng: "The Chen family thinks about the girl excessively, is mentally disordered, and spits nonsense, let her go to the cold palace to recuperate!" ”

Hearing this, the guards were stunned at first, and then thought about it, even if it was a favorite concubine, it was a big crime to hurt the emperor, but sending it to the cold palace was already thinking about the old feelings, thinking about it clearly, they still helped her up lightly, but she refused to leave, just looked at the emperor distractedly.

finally squeezed out a sentence: "The emperor treats me, is it really only the affection of this face?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor turned his head away, and stopped looking at her and did not speak.

A few guards didn't know whether to go or stay, stayed on the ground and looked at each other, thinking back to what they didn't seem to have heard, at this moment they couldn't wait to take off their ears, and finally waited for Gao Cheng's gesture before they said respectfully: "Niangniang, please." ”

Seeing that he didn't mean to answer, Chen Niangzi probably also knew the answer, smiled bitterly and looked at a few big characters in Zhaorong Palace, and went to the cold palace with the guards.

"Your Majesty!" Zhaorong Pavilion made a mess after Chen Niangzi left, and the entire Tai Hospital was brave enough to treat the emperor's wounds, in fact, the wound was not deep, and the knife edge was not poisonous, so it was quite easy to deal with, but Chen Niangzi's front foot only stepped into the cold palace, and the matter of the back foot stabbing spread throughout the palace, and the imperial doctors saw that the emperor had been silent with a black face, and his hands were even shaking, for fear that the emperor would come up and harm them because of a temper in the morning. Fortunately, someone quickly diverted the emperor's attention.

After a while, Gao Cheng came in and reported carefully: "Your Majesty, the second prince knelt at the door, saying that he was taking Chen Niangniang to bear the guilt..."

He pressed the Yin Tang acupoint, his tone exuding tiredness, "I don't want to see him at this time. ”

After getting the emperor's signal, Gao Cheng went outside to spread the word again, and looked at Li Yu, who was only wearing a plain white thin middle coat, and was a little unbearable, so he said: "Second Highness, the emperor has just finished treating his wounds and needs to rest, so it is inconvenient to see people at this time." ”

"Father-in-law Gao, I know that my father is still angry about my mother's affairs, but my sister just left not long ago, and my mother has been depressed, so it is understandable that she is insane, but the place in the cold palace is dark and damp, and the mother's body is not good, I am afraid that she will not be able to survive ......"

Gao Cheng sighed: "Chen Niangzi is not disrespectful, and openly assassinates the emperor, this is a big crime to kill the head in exchange for someone else, the emperor is looking at your face, it is already an extrajudicial grace, Your Highness must not intercede at this time, at this time the emperor is angry, if you go to mention these to the emperor at this time, it is really adding fuel to the fire!" ”

He pulled Gao Cheng's sleeve, and his voice was slightly immature: "Gao Gonggong has always won the trust of the emperor, if my father-in-law intercedes for me, I will explain to my father..."

He dusted off the dust and sighed: "Yo, this can't be helped, the old slave advised His Royal Highness to say a word, don't mention this matter in front of the emperor these days, Chen Niangniang's nonsense has violated His Majesty's taboo by getting up early, this matter is not explained, if the emperor dies down after a while, His Royal Highness will intercede again." ”

"But hasn't my father always doted on my mother, why did you punish him so .....heavily this time?" Li Yu's watery eyes stared at Gao Cheng, a little aggrieved.

Gao Cheng shook his head and said: "Second Highness, you must know that pampering is not pampering, and the love of the emperor has always been like this. ”

He nodded as if he understood, Gao Cheng thought he understood, so he went back to the hall to serve, who knew that Li Yu knelt at the door of the palace for a day and night, if it wasn't for the next day Tianming fainted at the door of the Cuiwen Palace, maybe he would continue to kneel. When the emperor found out, he punished him with a one-month grounding, and there was no further word.

For a while, the palace people sighed, saying that Li Yu was a filial piety, and the emperor should not punish people together with the prince, after all, there are very few opportunities for the prince to meet his biological mother. Another said that Li Yu didn't know how to observe the situation, knowing that the emperor was disgusted with the Chen family, he still tried his best to make up, he couldn't help his mother, and he also provoked the emperor's suspicion in vain, which was thankless.

Jing Tan was shocked after knowing these news, and then thought of the events of the previous day, no wonder the voice on the top of the mountain is so familiar, maybe that person is Chen Niangzi, maybe her father sent her into the cold palace because Chen Niangzi talked nonsense, but, it seems that it is because of her that her father knows, is she causing the second brother to lose his mother, if so, then she should go to ask her father to let Chen Niangniang go..... when Jing Tan told Mei Guifei about these decisions, Mei Guifei just drank a sip of medicine and sprayed out, coughing out of breath, also hurriedly grabbed her and said: "You are not allowed to get involved in this matter, your father has his own decision, if you plead, maybe Mrs. Chen will be punished more heavily." Hongyu smoothed her down, and she said, "You are not allowed to talk to your second brother about the events on the mountain that day, do you hear?" ”

Jing Tan was stunned by her sudden serious expression and nodded blankly. Seeing that her mother was so sick, she didn't dare to say anything more, until the time of the lamp, Jingtan was still anxious, and after explaining the reason to Ah Heng, Ah Heng was going to stop her from going to the Cuiwen Palace, but she couldn't resist her, so she still followed her.

Gao Cheng was guarding outside the Triwen Palace, saw her coming, and gave her a salute.

Jing Tan was puzzled: "Why isn't Grandpa Gao waiting inside?" ”

He shook his head and sighed: "The emperor is not feeling well today, and he is stuffy inside, saying that he doesn't want anyone to serve him." ”

"I want to come to my father and ask about something....."

He was a little embarrassed: "The emperor may not be able to see the princess this time." ”

Jing Tan was about to say something, when the emperor's voice came from inside: "Tan'er come in." ”

So Jing Tan ran in happily, and saw the emperor sitting alone at the table, wiping the sword, and when he saw her coming, he put the sword in the sheath and asked with a smile: "Tan'er can't sleep?" ”

"I think about things at night, I can't sleep, and I want to find my father for a solution." When she saw the salute, she was carried by him and sat on the dragon chair.

He quipped, "Oh? You are so young, what do you think and can't sleep? Don't think about how to steal the sugar lotus seeds from your mother. ”

Jing Tan straightened his face and pretended to be serious: "I'm here to ask my father why he sent Chen Niangniang to the cold palace!" ”

The emperor turned his head, looked at the tea cup thoughtfully, and saw that he didn't say anything, Jingtan asked again: "The person I met in Wansui Mountain that day was Chen Niangniang?" Was it because of what Chen Niangniang said that the father sent her to the cold palace? If so, I would like to beg my father to let her out..."

The emperor was suddenly puzzled: "I haven't seen how familiar Tan'er is with her on weekdays, why do you help her talk so much this time?" ”

"Because Chen Niangniang went in because of me, I heard that the cold palace is terrifying, although I don't see Chen Niangniang much on weekdays, but she is still the biological mother of the second brother, I don't want the second brother and his mother to not see each other."

The emperor took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's not Tan'er's fault, it's Chen Niangniang who did something wrong, Tan'er also knows the rules of the palace, and if she violates the palace rules, no matter who she is, she will have to bear the consequences." ”

Jing Tan said anxiously: "What mistake did Chen Niangniang make to ask her father and emperor to let them be separated?" ”

"Tan'er is still young, and she will understand when she is older." Seeing that she was still about to argue, he asked again, "How is your mother and concubine doing today?" ”

"It's not good, I coughed again today....." After all, she was a child, and as soon as others changed the topic to her mother, they forgot what they were arguing about just now.

Jing Tan came out dejected after staying in the Chuiwen Hall for a short time, she secretly complained about her father's temper and refused to listen to people.

Seeing her like this, Ah Heng sighed and said: "Princess, the slave said a long time ago, the emperor will not listen to people's persuasion when such a big thing comes out, after all, Chen Niangniang assassinated the emperor." ”

"Looking at the appearance of the concubine, it is impossible to meddle in this matter, I can't ask my father to be in a rut...."She kicked a broken stone under her feet, and the stone was kicked into another bigger stone with a "click", she suddenly had a thought, pulled Ah Heng's sleeve, and said in a glutinous voice: "Brother Ah Heng, let's send some warm clothes to Chen Niangniang!" ”

"Never!" Ah Heng put his hand away, but she clenched it tightly and couldn't take it back, and he was embarrassed: "That place is heavily guarded, how can the princess go." ”

She lowered her head and said with a look of grievance: "If I don't do something, I really don't want to go, I can't help her out now, that's all I can do..."

"..... okay, the things can only be sent to the plum garden, but the princess can't go, just leave it to the slave." Ah Heng couldn't help but be coquettish.

"Good! Sure enough, Brother Ah Heng loves me more! ”

Saying that, the two went back to the palace to prepare clothes, along the way, Jing Tan pestered him again and said that he had never been to the plum garden, and wanted to follow him to take a look, if he accidentally got lost in the future, he could still find it by himself, Ah Heng knew that she had not known the road since she was a child, and thought that she had been following her and wanted to come without it, so she had to agree under her soft grinding and hard bubble.

At that time, it was September, and there were only a few plum blossoms in the plum garden that had bloomed early, Ah Heng didn't let her go in, and Jingtan was just waiting for him at the entrance of the plum garden.

The plum garden is larger, the low place is remote, now it is night again, there is no one around, waiting for a long time after a gust of night wind hit, blowing goosebumps all over her body, she was a little scared, looking at the dim candlelight in the forest in front of her, looking at the darkness behind her, and then hit the place for a long time, she still felt that it was better to find Ah Heng.

She didn't know how the candle flame in the plum garden was arranged, sometimes it was two trees and one lamp, sometimes it took a long distance to meet one, the more she went inside, the dimmer the light became, she was not tall, she walked around the forest above her head, and she didn't know where Rao went, and when she realized that she was probably lost, she was already in a darkness.

"I don't want to believe that what she said is true, but I can't refute what she said..."

I heard this sentence faintly in the dark, and the voice was a little like her big sister, and she became excited for a while, like a life-saving straw, and she hurried to find the source of the voice.
