"How could my father be demoted?" Xia Concubine muttered to herself, not knowing whether she was refuting the gossipy palace maids or comforting herself.

Tonight, Xia Concubine is destined to not be able to sleep peacefully. From time to time, she dreamed of some strange scenes, and woke up, and every time she woke up, there were bursts of cold sweat on her forehead.

On the second day, after Xia Concubine got up, she looked as haggard as if she hadn't slept all night. After the personal palace maid saw it, she naturally couldn't bear it in her heart.

"Mother." The palace maid knelt on the ground, with an obvious look of guilt on her face, "It's all wrong to blame the slave maid, the slave maid shouldn't tell you about this matter casually, if it wasn't for the slave maid yesterday, who talked nonsense with you yesterday, how could you be so haggard?"

"Don't worry, Hongu won't blame you. You are also for the good of this palace, and this palace knows. Xia Concubine waved her hand tiredly, but she really didn't mean to blame the palace maid, "If this matter is true...... Really, Hongu should thank you a lot. ”

Although Xia Concubine worked hard, she wanted to pretend that she didn't care. But the personal palace maid still heard the forced smile in Xia Concubine's tone, and she couldn't help but feel even more distressed and guilty in her heart.

But now that things have happened, the wood is over, no matter how guilty she is, it will not help. In desperation, the personal palace maid had to pray silently, praying that things would not change and that they would not really be the same as those palace maids said. She would rather this matter be just a complete farce, a false alarm.

Although the palace maid held such a prayer, things were not destined to be as she hoped. After lunch, Xia Ruhai's reply reached Xia Concubine.

Xia Concubine's hands trembled, and she could barely open the envelope. She took a deep breath and composed herself for a few moments before she finally mustered up the courage to open the envelope.

After opening the envelope, Xia Concubine just glanced twice, and felt a blackness in front of her, and she almost wanted to faint. She trembled and almost couldn't sit still, but fortunately, the palace maid on the side immediately made a decision and helped her up.

Looking at Concubine Xia's appearance, the palace maid knew very well in her heart that the demotion of Lord Xia was probably a foregone conclusion. But she was still a little reluctant to give up, still holding on to some hope, looked at Xia Concubine, and asked softly, "Niangniang, how are things?"

"It's no play......" Xia Concubine collapsed to the ground, looking like ashes, "Father's reply is clearly written on it, it is clearly written, he doesn't know where he offended General Du, but he was beaten by General Du in the court, and the emperor demoted him." ”

After hearing this, the palace maid's heart was cold, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was really no room for recovery.

So far, she didn't know how to comfort Xia Concubine, so she had to say: "Niangniang, you don't have to be too sad about this matter, there will definitely be a solution to the matter." Maybe this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just some small friction between General Du and Lord Xia, presumably in a few days. ”

"No, it won't." After the shock just now, Xia Concubine had calmed down a lot. She lowered her eyes, but her expression was extremely sad.

"Bengong knows very well in his heart that the reason why my father was demoted is because of Bengong." Xia Concubine lowered her eyes, and her voice was very empty, "If it weren't for the blind willfulness of this palace and disregarding the overall situation, how could it be like this?" ”

"Mother, it's not your fault. You must not want to see such a result, it's just that the lady concubine is too calculating. Don't feel too guilty about it. The palace maid looked at Xia Concubine like this, her heart was sad, and she comforted her repeatedly.

Xia Concubine didn't listen to her comfort, but said to herself, "My father's greatest wish in life is to be able to prosper in official fortune and rise to the top." At his age, he has been demoted, and I am afraid that he will never be promoted again...... The fate of the family was also ruined because of the main palace. ”

The more she spoke, the more sad she felt. At this time, Xia Concubine only felt that she was really too naïve. thought that after giving birth to a child, with the child, she would be able to get rid of Du Qinyue's control, but she didn't expect that in the end, it would be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Although she has a child, it can be regarded as a guarantee, she can only take care of the child and not listen to Du Qinyue, but her father can't do this.

My father is above the court, and I am restricted by General Du, and my every move in the palace will be fed back to my father in this way. This demotion is a small warning and lesson, if she is still disobedient, things don't know what direction to go.

Thinking like this, the more Xia Concubine thought about it, the more frightened she felt, only to feel that there was a darkness ahead, so that she couldn't see the direction of progress at a glance.

She couldn't help but think in despair: Isn't it because she has to be controlled by others for the rest of her life? Xia Concubine smiled bitterly and said, "This palace originally thought that after giving birth to Yu'er, it would be a new beginning. But I didn't expect that it was nothing more than a continuation of the past. It is impossible to live a life of peace and stability without asking about the world. ”

She let out a long sigh, and only now did she have a feeling of initiation. Xia Concubine said: "This palace should have expected it a long time ago - after being involved in this dispute, who will be able to get out?"

The palace maid on the side looked at it, regretting and feeling sad in her heart, she just wished that she hadn't heard those words yesterday, so that at least it could make Xia Concubine less sad for a while, instead of being as uncomfortable as today.

Xia Concubine seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. I saw Xia Concubine slowly raise her head, looked at her, smiled reluctantly, and said, "This palace won't blame you." You thought about this palace, so you took the initiative to say this to this palace, and it was too late for this palace to thank you, so how could you blame it?"

"Besides, if you hadn't told Bengong in advance, Bengong would have been in the dark right now." Xia Concubine sighed, "This is all fate, I can't complain about others." ”

After saying this, Xia Concubine obviously decided something, and said to the palace maid: "This palace has thought about it, this palace will go to the Moon Palace, and accompany the concubine Niangniang, maybe the concubine can be an adult and not remember the villain, so she will spare the palace and her father."

"Otherwise, if my father's future is ruined because of this palace, I am afraid that this palace will live in guilt for the rest of his life." Xia Concubine sighed lightly, with undisguised helplessness in her eyes.

Seeing Xia Concubine like this, the palace maid only felt sad and distressed, and couldn't help but persuade: "Niangniang, you don't have to be like this." You can find a few more solutions. ”

"There's no other way." Xia Concubine shook her head, "This palace knows, you feel sorry for this palace, and this palace is also very grateful for this friendship." But if you can get your father back to his job, this is the quickest and most convenient way. ”

"What's more." Xia Concubine chuckled, and added a little mockery for no reason, "This matter was originally caused by this palace, and naturally it should be solved by this palace himself." ”

Seeing that Xia Concubine was so resolute, the palace maid knew that she probably couldn't persuade him today. All he could say was, "Okay." That lady must be careful, never impulsive and reckless, everything is your safety. ”

"Don't worry, this palace will." Xia Concubine smiled and nodded slightly at the palace maid, "Yesterday's incident, no matter what, thank you very much." Your kindness, this palace will remember it in the bottom of my heart. ”

With that, Xia Concubine turned around and left. Seeing Xia Concubine like this, the palace maid hurriedly said: "Niangniang, let the slave and maid follow you, it can be regarded as a care."

"No need." Listening to the palace maid's words, Xia Concubine just shook her head, "Today, I apologized in the past." Bringing one more person with you is a bit inappropriate. It's good for the main palace to go alone, rest assured, it's okay. ”

After that, Xia Concubine immediately turned around and left, not giving the palace maid any room for redemption. The palace maid was helpless in her heart, but she also knew that Xia Concubine's decision could not be changed, so she could only sigh and pray secretly that Xia Concubine must be safe and sound, and there would be no accidents.

I don't know if the palace maid's prayer has any effect, in short, Xia Concubine has already firmly gone in the direction of Lanyue Palace to visit Du Qinyue.

On the way there, Xia Concubine had already thought about it. Just think it's for her father, this time, she just went to beg Du Qinyue, be sure to lower her posture, no matter what Du Qinyue says, even if she takes advantage of the situation to reprimand her, she just listens, it's not a big deal.

With such thoughts, Xia Concubine walked firmly in the direction of Lanyue Palace. Perhaps because of the belief in her heart, Xia Concubine walked exceptionally fast. Originally, it took almost two sticks of incense to walk the way through, but today it was time to touch one stick of incense.

She actually cut the time in half. Walking on the road, I don't know why, Xia Concubine always felt a deep sense of tragedy.

She sighed slightly, and said secretly: "Perhaps, this is fate." She originally wanted to get out, but she didn't expect that in the end, she was still destined to fall into this quagmire. Out of the mud and not stained, that's just a fairy tale. In the real story, who is contaminated with filth and can still have a clear conscience?"

There's no way she'll be able to get out of it again. After thinking of this, Xia Concubine couldn't tell whether she had more regret or more relief in her heart.

With thoughts full of distraction, Xia Concubine walked to the door of Lanyue Palace. Looking at the palace maid standing quietly at the palace gate, she took a deep breath. Xia Concubine tried her best to calm down her emotions and restrain all those complicated emotions. Feeling that it was almost over, he said to the palace maid at the door: "This palace came to visit the lady concubine, please help spread it, there is work."
