"These slaves!" King Zhou Yi muttered to himself hatefully: "For more than ten days, she has nothing to eat, do you say ------ she is okay?" ”

"Look, King!" Huang Huan opened the window to the north, pointed to a wisp of white smoke curling up from the red wall of the middle palace and said: "The concubine has seen this cooking smoke at noon for more than ten days, and it should be the queen and the middle palace order cooking on the fire." They only eat one meal a day, and I think they are still struggling to support themselves! ”

Ji Xie took a closer look, and the smoke curled up, looming, like a gossamer, like a silk thread that couldn't be thinner, wrapped around his heart, and he couldn't break free without pulling it anymore. Could it be that this is a concern? has been married for more than ten years, there have been quarrels and cold wars, and he has also moved, but there has never been a thing where they have not seen each other for more than ten days.

Huang Huan raised his eyes and saw that there was obvious concern on his face, and he proposed very obediently: "The king, the queen mother takes care of the concubine and the third prince in many ways on weekdays, and the concubine is very concerned. I beg the king to be gracious and allow the concubine to bring some food and clothing to see the queen, so that people outside can rest assured. ”

Ji Xie took out a jade token from his sleeve, handed it to Huang Huan and said, "Let the chamberlain Jia take you there, with this token, the guards will not dare to stop you." Lone is here waiting for you to reply! He thought for a while, and then said: "She is still the queen after all, if she is really hungry to the deep palace, it will be another turmoil." ”

It was indeed cool, and it was very pleasant to sit under the trellises of vine branches, and it was very pleasant to watch Bergie tease her eight or nine-month-old little brother. But Ji Xie still felt that he had waited too long, as if every moment was as long as a year.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered Fanji's slender eyes, soft, crooked, and shrouded like a thin veil. That night, she shivered beneath her like an autumn leaf. Those slender eyes rolled down tears, and he was stunned for that moment, it turned out that she was so weak and helpless. But he still rubbed her to death------

Alas! Why is she so stubborn? I'd rather bite my lip, I'd rather tear the mattress under me, but I wouldn't open my mouth to say a soft word to him. As long as she had said it, maybe he wouldn't have been so furious? What's the use of thinking about it now?

I thought about it for a long time, as if a lifetime had passed. Little Ji Ci was already drowsy in the arms of the nursing mother, and Ji Xie waved his hand to call a pair of children to go back to the room to rest. He sat alone in the quiet courtyard for a long time------

Finally, footsteps sounded, and Huang Huan came back with her maid Dong'er. When she went, she had a big bag and a small bag, and when she returned, she was empty-handed, thinking that everything was left, Ji Xie's heart was happy: she must be alive and well!

Huang Ying smiled and said, "King, she is very good." I've taken everything I brought! ”

Ji Xie asked her to sit down and talk slowly, and asked carefully, "How has she been spending her days these days?" How was she doing when you went? Let's talk about it in detail. ”

Huang Huan's dignified and beautiful face flashed a trace of unbearable color, and said slowly: "King, when the concubine went in, Niangniang was carrying a big bamboo basket and picking up dry firewood in the garden. There is a well in the palace, and there is no shortage of water. The king still remembers that there are a lot of fish in Niangniang's pond, right? These days, Niangniang and Zhonggong Ling dig earthworms by the pond, make bait for fishing, or use nets to fish, and the fish in the pond are all eaten. But there was no firewood, so I had to pick up dry firewood or smoke bushes. The concubine saw it, and the mother's hands were covered with blood, and they were all made by collecting firewood. ”

Thinking of what kind of life the queen had in the past, but now she was so down, Huang Huan couldn't help but try the tears in the corners of her eyes. Ji Xie said to himself in disbelief: "She actually picked up firewood to make a fire and catch fish for cooking? Where would she do that? ”

"Niangniang is now only the Zhonggong Ling by her side, and she has to do her own food and clothing, what can she do if she doesn't do this?" Huang Huan sighed: "However, Niangniang is still in good spirits, and when she saw me coming, she repeatedly asked the prince how the situation was." I also asked Bo Ji and the third prince if they were okay, which made me feel a little relieved. ”

Ji Xie hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "Besides the children, did she ask anyone else?" ”

Huang Huan's eyes suddenly dodged a little: "Yes." Niangniang asked Mrs. Zhaoji when she would give birth, and also asked Mrs. Qi Jiang how she was doing in the Qiandi, but unfortunately these circumstances were not clear to the concubine. ”

"She didn't mention Lonely?" Ji Xie's anger surged up, and he couldn't help but roar.

Huang Huan was so frightened that she fell to the ground and kowtowed instead of acquiesce. Ji Xie sneered, and said in his heart: It is worthy of being a fanji, and he still refuses to bow his head when he falls into this step. Anyway, you have to be the proud winter plum, and loneliness will fulfill you!

Looking at the figure of King Zhou Yi angrily brushing away his sleeves, Huang Huan only felt that his whole body was weak and he sat on the ground. He barely stood up with the help of the maid Dong'er, and muttered: "Dong'er, why do you say that Niang Niang wants me to say this, I have to make the king unhappy?" ”

"Perhaps, Niangniang has other plans!"

"Really? The king summoned Yiji to sleep tonight? Didn't stay in Mangrove? In the Autumn Palace, Ji Jiang asked casually while eating the peeled oranges. The oranges that have just entered autumn are not very sweet, so I ate a few petals and put them down.

"That's right," said with a clapped palm: "Niangniang is still worried about Huang Huan's complaint!" It seems that the king didn't care much about her either. It's just that she went to the middle palace to find out about the woman's life and death, and she doesn't necessarily care much. ”

"Also, those minions looted the Middle Palace, and I don't see the king know what the attack is! However, the woman was really hard-hitting, and she relied on the fish in the pool to survive for more than ten days without starving to death. Hate it when you think about it! Such a thorn in the eye will eventually lead to trouble. Ji Jiang's beautiful eyes were instantly full of anger.

Ji Diao persuaded: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this matter is not urgent." Mo said that now that the middle palace is sealed without a king, no one can enter, even if he can enter, it is not easy to do tricks. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Jiang straightened up and asked.

"One is that now there are rumors flying outside, if she dies at this moment, everyone will suspect you. Another one," he began to beat Ji Jiang's legs with a smile on his face: "After all, the king has not issued an edict to abolish the queen, if she dies now, the prince will still be the eldest son." Only if she is not the queen anymore, the second prince can ------, right? ”

He didn't say everything Ji Jiang understood, the Zhou family has always been a long-term heir, but the queen is dead, and the crown prince is still the first heir. Only when the queen is deposed, can the status of the prince change from a concubine to a concubine. After figuring out this joint, she patted Jian Diao's back with relief: "You are still thoughtful." ”

"This is also what Grandpa Guo meant, the little one is just a messenger." He whispered in his ear.

Ji Jiang's eyes flashed, and he began to ponder, how to get King Zhou to abolish the edict, this is probably not an easy task. The reason why the queen offended the king could not be announced to the public, otherwise where would King Zhou Yi's face go? Without a good reason, Zhao Gong will definitely take the lead in blocking it, what should I do? She felt at a loss.
