Ji Xie brushed up the hem of his brocade robe, walked calmly out of the threshold of the main hall, and in the darkness, the attendant Jia hurriedly came over, and asked softly, "What does the king command?" ”

"Tell everyone in the middle palace that the middle palace will be blocked after sunrise, and the queen will not be able to come out unless she dies of old age. If they don't want to be trapped in the cold palace with this woman, it is convenient to leave the palace before sunrise, and they will not be able to die after the deadline! Ji Xie's eyelids drooped, and his tone was extremely cold and hard.

The chamberlain Jia gasped, and said in his heart that he was so ruthless! The queen treats him very well on weekdays, and at this time she can't help but feel sorry in her heart. But he never dared to show it on his face, so he went to gather the palace people and didn't mention it.

On the top of his head, the crescent moon is like a hook, flickering slightly, but there is no suitable brilliance. It turns out that today is the first day of junior high school! Ji Xie remembered it suddenly, and shook his head with a wry smile. Walking out of the gate of the Middle Palace, he was no longer as angry as when he came, but felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important. He shook his head, and was about to step up, when suddenly a small figure burst out of the dark alleyway.

"Father!" Ji Xie breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the eldest daughter Bo Ji. I saw that her eyes were red, and tears seemed to be filling her eyes, and she asked softly, "Bo Ji, why haven't you gone to bed at such a late hour?" ”

This question hit Bo Ji's heart, and she opened her mouth and said: "My father sealed the middle palace, where did I go to bed?" ”

"Oops!" Ji Xie slapped his forehead, forgetting that the child was raised under Fanji's knees, thinking of Qi Shizi's matter, the eight-year-old girl also experienced ups and downs, and couldn't help but feel guilty, and asked in a low voice: "How about the father send someone to send you to Yiji?" ”

Bo Ji shook her head desperately, and Ji Xie felt strange: "She is your mother!" Why don't you go? ”

"She has been on discord with her mother for a long time, and her daughter doesn't want to be caught between them." Becky's hand kept twisting the handkerchief in his hand, and his small body was twisted like a twist.

Why is it not harmonious, Ji Xie was tired and didn't want to ask any more questions, so he asked instead: "Then which Niangniang palace do you want to go to?" ”

Bo Ji pointed back: "I'm going to Huang Yingniang's place." ”

"Why?" Ji Xie was curious.

"Because ------ because it's close to the queen mother." Bergie replied boldly.

Ji Xie pursed his lips, but finally didn't say anything, and instead ordered: "Take the princess to Manluo House." ”

Watching his father's guard of honor go away, Bo Ji breathed a sigh of relief and pinched the lining of his clothes, in which there was a silk book sewn into by the queen mother's own hand. She will remember tonight for the rest of her life, when the queen mother, who had always been respectful, was still calm in such a panicked situation.

"Berge, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out. This is a silk book for your prince's brother, you try to live with Huang Huanniang after you leave the palace, and then take out this silk book, she will give it to the prince. Child, this is a very important thing, and you must do it. ”

She nodded. The queen mother paused again, and seemed to have made up a lot of determination to tell her a sentence: "Your biological mother is self-defeating, although she has the same father as me, but ------ is only afraid of the queen mother's catastrophe, she is a great contributor, don't get too close to her after you go out, understand?" ”

Alas! I don't think about it, it's too complicated for adults. She silently flattened her dress, covering a few drops of moisture from the tips of her shoes, and turned away without looking back.

When the day dawned, the turmoil in the palace quietly spread, and everywhere it went, people were shocked. Yesterday, I also saw King Zhou and his wife returning from Lishan Palace hand in hand, holding hands and smiling; Overnight, the situation changed. The queen was deprived of the phoenix seal treasure book, treasure seal, and was imprisoned in the middle palace, and the king of Zhou ordered that she could not come out unless she died; The crown prince was confined to the East Palace and was not allowed to go out. And the second concubine Ji Jiang was appointed to be in charge of the six palaces, although there was no phoenix seal, but she became the real lord of the harem.

What is it for? People have all kinds of speculations in private, and according to the idea that the biggest profit is the initiator, they have pointed the finger at the second concubine Ji Jiang. It must be that she has something wrong with her! But no one dared to say anything. Ji Xie, the king of Zhouyi, became manic and irritable, dropped out of the court for ten consecutive days, and only lost his temper in the main hall. He did not summon important ministers during the day, nor did he summon concubines to sleep at night, but only locked himself in the inner room, and if the palace maid was half unhappy, he was immediately dragged out and killed with a cane. In only three days, five people were killed with a rod, and several others were expelled from the palace.

The whole palace trembled and fell silent. Ji Jiang was in charge of the harem and wanted the concubines of the palace to come to him every day to show off his majesty, and he also died down under the persuasion of Ji Diao, temporarily clamping his tail, for fear of touching the wrath of King Zhou.

Fanji slept until noon before waking up, there was no place in his body that was not painful, his waist could not be straightened, his legs were sore and unbearable, the bones of his body seemed to have been disassembled and reloaded, and his brain was like a ball of paste. She gently wanted to turn over, but as soon as her skin rubbed against the quilt, she immediately felt a heart-piercing pain, and couldn't help but let out an "ah".

The brocade curtain moved, and the deer sheep came in with a happy eye: "Niangniang, you finally woke up, great!" ”

She turned around and brought a bowl of steaming corn porridge, put it in front of Fanji's bedside, and persuaded: "Niangniang, it's noon, you haven't eaten since yesterday's dinner, you must be hungry this time!" ”

Fanji leaned weakly on the pillow, as if he was too hungry and had no appetite, and said weakly: "I don't want to eat much!" ”

The cater's eyes moved, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he persuaded: "Niangniang, no matter how much grievance you have in your heart, you can't eat some!" The king has issued an order that the middle palace will be blocked before sunrise, and you will not be able to come out unless you die. The gang of Diao slaves immediately robbed in the palace, except for Niangniang, who was a little afraid and didn't dare to come in. They plundered all the places in the middle palace, corn, winter clothes, jewelry------ even lighter wooden copper tripods were taken away by them, and there was nothing left. This corn porridge is still scraped from the bottom of the tank, you have to eat it! ”

Fanji smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for someone behind them, they wouldn't be so bold." However, it is useless to talk about it now! Nurse, help me up, I'll eat porridge. ”

The bowl of corn porridge was drunk without any leftovers, and at the end he wiped his mouth and smiled: "They want to starve to death and trap me, but I won't die!" As long as I live, those people will be stuck in their throats, and they will not be able to sleep for a day, and they will be happy to think about it. ”

Hearing what she seemed to say, the sheep concubine asked with some hesitation: "Didn't the mother leave a back hand?" ”

"Nurse, go and take a look in the wall."

In ancient times, the houses of large families often had two layers of walls, and the hollow place was called "sandwich wall", and the main hall of the natural middle palace was no exception. The deer sheep looked back, and chrysanthemums bloomed on her face excitedly: "Niangniang, there are more than a dozen bags of corn, and you can last at least a year if you save some food!" Mother, when did you hide it, even I don't know! ”

"My mother taught me that when the big family is calm, there are always hidden risks, and there is a need to prepare some food and water in the wall in case of emergency." Thinking of his mother Jing Ji, Fan Ji was silent for a while.

"It's a pity that the Jing family has fallen, otherwise with Madame's idea, she would definitely marry Niangniang back to her mother's family, how could there be today's disaster?" The sheep sighed.

Fanji shook his head: "Don't talk about these old sesame seeds and rotten grains, in the future, we will only eat one meal a day, make a fire in the middle of the day to make rice, and try to get as close to the mangrove house as possible." Let Huang Huan see the smoke of our cooking, so that the prince can rest assured. ”

"No!"
