There were three people standing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, one of them straightened their waists, one groveled, and the other stood on the edge of the pavilion and looked around, as if looking at the wind.

"Gonggong Jin, it is said that you are a celebrity by the emperor's side, thanks to your service by the emperor's side all these years, this palace should say thank you here."

Zhao Meng'er changed her previous eyes from no one, her attitude was gentle, and she was polite to a eunuch, this is really not her style, if someone sees this scene, they will definitely think that they are dazzled.

Jin Fu's body trembled, he was used to serving people in the palace all these years, and he had to nod his head when he saw any master, and now the former lord of the harem actually thanked him, how could he bear it.

"Niangniang, what are you talking about, serving the emperor is the old slave's business, how dare you thank you, but it has tormented the old slave." Jin Fu hurriedly bowed down and said humbly. new

"Father-in-law Jin doesn't have to be polite, this thank you is well deserved. Since I entered the palace, you have been serving by the emperor's side, and you can be regarded as an old acquaintance, so we don't need to be polite." In fact, when she first entered the palace, she also spent a lot of money in order to deal with the people around the emperor, and it is really not an exaggeration to say that she is an old acquaintance. Jin Fu looked flattered, "That's it, Niangniang was the first to enter the harem, and the old slave has been thanks to you for taking care of her all these years?"

Zhao Meng'er smiled, and this is what she wants. Although the emperor has now abolished her title of concubine, with her connections and prestige in the harem, no one dares to really bully her, at most the Ming Dynasty will make a few sarcastic remarks. She will remember those people, and one day she will give them all. I want them to know that she Zhao Meng'er is not a person who is rubbed and flattened, she will always turn over one day, and when the time comes, they will be impressed.

Slowly walked to the stool in the pavilion and sat down, Chaeyoung hurriedly came over, poured hot tea for the master, and then stood aside and waited quietly.

Jin Fu stood quietly bowed, he knew that Niangniang called him here today, there must be something to tell him, he was not in a hurry, just quietly waited for her to speak.

Sure enough, after Zhao Meng'er took a sip of tea, she couldn't help but speak.

"Gonggong Jin, what do you think about Miss Chu's disappearance?"

"Oh, this old slave doesn't dare to say it, if the emperor knows, he won't cut off the old slave's head." Jin Fu looked scared and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Gonggong Jin, there are no outsiders here, don't you still believe in this palace?" Zhao Meng'er said and sighed deeply: "Gonggong Jin, in this palace, you know best. Over the years, you must have seen the heart and mind of the emperor in this palace. Although I am a little arrogant and domineering, isn't that because I love the emperor too much? Isn't it clear to others about this, don't you know it yet?" Speaking of these, she had hatred in her heart, and in order to get his favor, she stammered above and enveloped below. For the old woman of the concubine, if it weren't for the emperor's respect for her, would she go to slap her? But she didn't expect that in the end, the old woman would turn against her, and she was really angry.

Jin Fu nodded again and again when he heard this, "The old slave naturally understands, in fact, according to the old slave, there is no one in the harem who can compare to your thoughts about the emperor. It's a pity ......."

Jin Fu didn't finish speaking, Zhao Meng'er naturally knew it, and she couldn't help but feel more resentment in her heart. But then she suppressed that thought and pretended to be an injured white rabbit.

"What if Grandpa Jin understands? It's a pity he doesn't understand. In fact, when I dealt with Chu Xia, I had already seen that her mind was not on the emperor, and sooner or later she would fail the emperor, so the emperor would be even more injured, so it was better for me to be a villain and expel her from the emperor's side first.

Who knew that woman was so vicious, first hurt me like that, almost took my whole life, and then reversed right and wrong in front of the emperor and came to sue me.

The emperor was bewitched by her and punished me, and I never resented him, and even thought in my heart, if she can treat the emperor sincerely, I have nothing to complain about, as long as the emperor is happy, I will have nothing else to ask for.

didn't expect her to leave in the end, which hurt the emperor's heart. Father-in-law Jin, I'm really not worth it for the emperor."

Speaking of which, Zhao Meng'er was already in the rain, and her face was full of grievances.

Grandpa Jin saw her here

like, it's also a sigh. "Who's to say it's not? This Chu girl is really undeserved, the emperor is so affectionate to her, but she just said to leave, without a trace of nostalgia, regardless of the emperor's sincerity to her, and the emperor's dignity in front of the world."

Zhao Meng'er took advantage of the time to wipe her tears and glanced at Caiying beside her, it seemed that their initial plan had succeeded, and she had successfully won over Gonggong Jin to stand on her side. Who doesn't know that Gonggong Jin is the emperor's confidant, and he says one sentence, but it is better than other people's ten sentences.

In addition to Gonggong Jin, there is another loyal servant by the emperor's side, that is, Yunfei. It's a pity that he is too loyal to the emperor and disdainful of anyone, so no matter how hard she tries, he can't get in, and he can only give up in the end.

"It's still my father-in-law who understands, I don't understand, why is the emperor still so infatuated with her if she doesn't take into account the emperor's feelings and doesn't put the emperor in her heart." After a pause at this, he leaned closer to Jin Fu and whispered cautiously, "Moreover, I also heard that this woman is not an ordinary person, think about it, there has been no change in ten years, how is this possible?"

At this time, Chaeyoung interjected and came in, with a look of disdain. "According to the slave maid, she is the fox spirit who has changed, I heard that the fox spirit is the best at seducing people, and the slave also heard that those fox spirits are cultivated by absorbing the essence of men. If the emperor really stays with her for a long time, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."

Zhao Meng'er pretended to be angry and glared at Caiying, "Don't talk nonsense, after all, these are our guesses, I believe the emperor will have a clear understanding."

"What the slave said is the truth, Niangniang, even if you blame me, you have to say it, isn't it obvious? Anyone can see that the emperor doesn't understand, but he is just blinded. Grandpa Kim, do you say yes?" With an aggrieved look of defense, Chaeyoung looked at Kim Bok and asked.

Jin Fu was embarrassed and smiled, "The old slave has also heard about this, I heard that it was like that when she met the emperor ten years ago, but after all, the slave has never seen it with her own eyes, so she can't say anything." But to say that he is not afraid of killing his head, the emperor really favors Miss Chu too much. Since ancient times, there has been a woman who has not been officially canonized to live in the harem, and to be called the queen, which is indeed unruly." Speaking of this, Grandpa Jin seems to be very dissatisfied.

Hearing Gonggong Jin say this, Zhao Meng'er felt more down-to-earth and glanced at Caiying.

Caiying understood, hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, looked at no one around, walked over to Gonggong Jin, and stuffed it into his arms.

"No, no, these old slaves can't be accepted, they all say that they are useless, how dare the slaves ask for a reward from their mother." Father-in-law Jin hurriedly excused himself.

"Father-in-law Jin, you take these, and the emperor will take care of them more in the future. I can't serve by the emperor's side anymore, so I can do my part for me." Zhao Meng'er smiled amiably and looked harmless.

"Father-in-law Jin, put it away quickly, it's not good if someone sees it, you also know that there are many people in the harem, and you know that we care about the emperor, I don't know how to talk about us." Caiying is clever, and when she says these words, she is not afraid that he will not accept it. It is said that eating other people's mouths is short, and he is not afraid that he will not have the same heart with them in the future.

Father-in-law Jin was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that there was anyone who could not be moved, he half-pushed and half-accepted it into his arms.

Seeing Father-in-law Jin accept the silver ticket, both of them were relieved.

"Father-in-law Jin, if there is anything going on over there in the future, don't forget our master. If our master turns over, it will be your benefit." This is called that money can make ghosts grind, and Caiying's wit doesn't need their masters.

Father-in-law Jin naturally understood, and nodded his head busily.

"Gonggong Jin, your noble family is busy, and the emperor is still waiting for you to serve? We won't delay you." Zhao Meng'er saw that the time was almost up, and he was a smart person who knew what to do, so he didn't keep anyone.

Jin Fu hurriedly nodded yes, "Then the old slave will leave first, take care of yourself."

After Jin Fu walked away, Cai Ying couldn't help but speak: "Niangniang, do you say that this Jin Gonggong can help us?" This is their master's only chance to turn over.

Zhao Meng'er's red lips were slightly curved, her fingers pinched a red cherry, and her apricot eyes were full of pride. "Don't worry, don't you see that old thing's eyes glow when he sees the silver ticket? This rootless thing, for everything

I don't care, it's just this yellow and white thing. We are not afraid that he loves money, but what we are afraid of is that he does not love, let's wait, there will be good news soon."

The woman is gone, and now the whole court is talking about her eloping with someone else, even if she comes back, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to crown her queen smoothly. Even if the emperor doesn't change his mind, how can he block the mouths of the people? What's more, it's not certain whether she can come back! She had already discussed with her father that she would never be allowed to come back alive. Thinking of this, the hatred in his eyes deepened.

The Imperial Study

Since having the news of Chu Xia, Jing Yuan has been in a much better mood, as long as she is still in Donghua, as long as there are clues from her, he will definitely have a way to find her.

All he wanted now was to find her quickly, and he wouldn't have to sit here all day, but he couldn't sleep all the time.

But the truth is often not as expected, and when he receives the news that the ship Chu Xia was on has encountered pirates, he almost collapses. Think about who those pirates are, and if she falls into their hands, isn't she a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

"General Xiao, I ordered you to take an army of 50,000 and hurry to encircle and suppress the pirates of that generation. It is also a scourge for these beasts to remain, so they will all be eradicated, and not one of them will be left." Jing Yuan was full of anger, eager to break their bodies to pieces.
