Mu Jingzhao struggled for a moment, and finally resigned himself to carrying Jiang Ning to the Frost Hua Palace.

Outside the Shuanghua Palace, Empress Shen Qingrong and several palace maids and eunuchs were standing under the steps of the Shuanghua Palace with the palace gate closed.

At the gate of the palace, Ling Yue was clenching her fists, and "Bang Bang" kept smashing towards the closed red gate.

"Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang, please open the door."

"Concubine Niangniang, the slave also knows that you don't like to be disturbed, but our mother is also on the order of the emperor, why should the mother embarrass people?"

"Guifei Niangniang, if you don't open the door again, the slave will break in!"

However, no matter how hard Ling Yue tried to coerce and lure, the closed red gate still didn't move.

On a rare sunny day, the small piece of sky above the imperial city was blue and far-reaching, cloudless. The afternoon sun poured unscrupulously on the crimson courtyard wall and fell on Shen Qingrong's slightly pale face.

Although it was only in the early spring, there was a hint of heat in the sunshine. The long wait made a little bead of sweat ooze from Shen Qingrong's forehead.

Despite this, she still stood in a dignified posture, always with a faint smile on her face.

Shen Qingrong's cheeks were slightly red, and the broken hair at the corner of her forehead was clinging to her sweaty forehead, unspeakably embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, the yellow-clothed palace maid beside her hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and stepped forward to help her wipe the sweat on her forehead, her face full of distress.

"Niangniang, that Liu Guifei is too bullying, but she is the daughter of a reckless man, what is there to be proud of! Niangniang, the mother of a country, has a golden body, in fact, she can be humiliated and trampled! ”

"Gaffe." Shen Qingrong's eyes swept lightly, and the yellow-clothed palace maid trembled, and then bowed back.

"Ling Yue."

"Yes."

Ling Yue's slamming on the door suddenly stopped, "Guifei Niangniang, our Niangniang is acting on orders, if you insist on obstructing it, our Niangniang will be offended, please include it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Yue turned her head and nodded vigorously at the eunuch beside Shen Qingrong.

"Yes!" The eunuchs nodded vigorously, and then rushed to the door of the Frost Hall in unison.

"I'll count one, two, three, and we'll crash into each other."

"Yes."

"One, two, three—"

As soon as the words fell, a group of little eunuchs slammed towards the gate of the Frost Hua Palace with neat movements.

Everyone's bodies slammed into the gate of the Frost Hua Palace, and the closed gate of the Frost Hua Palace made a muffled "bang", and the red gate trembled violently, but it still did not open.

"One, two—"

"Stop."

Everyone moved, turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw Mu Jingzhao standing upright on the palace road, and there was a Jiang Ning hanging on him.

The coercion brought by the emperor's identity made everyone dare not act rashly, so they hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The emperor is auspicious." ”

"Queen." Mu Jingzhao came to Shen Qingrong with Jiang Ning on his back, "What are you doing here?" ”

Shen Qingrong got up, her expression was still the same, "The concubine was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Poria Cocos's death, and learned that Poria had a close personal relationship with Mengyin in Concubine Liu's palace before her death, so she came to investigate." ”

"I'm here to let you investigate, not to let you break into the palace."

Shen Qingrong's expression was still neither humble nor arrogant, "Concubine Liu avoids it, and the concubine has no choice." ”

Mu Jingzhao's face stiffened, and now, he put himself in a dilemma.

If he is indifferent, it will be the queen's face, and if he goes up and knocks on the door, it will be Liu Jinfu's face.

Jiang Ning was lying on Mu Jingzhao's back, his thoughts were chaotic, and he secretly sighed in his heart that this was really a big show, and he must be injured like this in vain. She pondered and spoke, "Your Majesty, look, I will send someone to bring my ladder to you, you climb over the wall to enter, open the door from the palace and let us in, what do you think?" ”

Mu Jingzhao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ning, his expression was quite unfriendly.

However, Jiang Ning still continued to chatter unconsciously, "Let me tell you, there is a bamboo forest behind the cold palace, you jump into it from there, it is a meadow, even if you fall down and no one will answer your body, it will not hurt, my ladder is strong and light, I buy you one, only one thousand taels, isn't it very cost-effective?" ”

"That's a great idea." Mu Jingzhao nodded again and again, "But your description doesn't look like you came up with your own imagination, but it looks like you have practiced it yourself?" ”

Jiang Ning hurriedly covered his mouth, but he still didn't give up, "This yard is one yard, but we can still talk about this business." ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later." Mu Jingzhao said this, and then grabbed Jiang Ning's back collar and pulled her off himself.

"Go knock." He casually put Jiang Ning at the door.

Jiang Ning hooked his body and glanced at everyone present sneakily, but fortunately, everyone present drooped their eyes and didn't care about what happened here.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and had already greeted all the eight generations of Mu Jingzhao's ancestors in his heart.

After a long time, she still clenched her fists and knocked on the palace door, "Concubine Ning, come to visit the concubine." ”

There was silence in the palace gate for a moment, and then a sound of footsteps came, and the frost gate made a "squeak" sound, the palace gate was opened, and Mengyin walked out of the house quickly.

She faced Jiang Ning. The smile was gentle, "Youlao has been waiting for a long time, my mother is not feeling well, please come in." ”

With that, Mengyin made an inviting gesture to everyone and led everyone into the house.

"Come on." Mu Jingzhao walked up to Jiang Ning and stretched his wrist in front of her, "It's hard work." ”

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and put his hand, you are not human. “

Mu Jingzhao hugged her inside, "You're welcome." ”

Entering the Frost Flower Palace again, for Jiang Ning, it was a completely different experience from the last time.

The decoration of the Shuanghua Palace is simple, there are only a few simple grasses and trees in the huge courtyard, and the only different color is that a few spider plants under the eaves are blooming proudly.

The entire palace revealed an emptiness that was even more lonely than the cold palace.

The door of the main hall was wide open, and the pure white veil on the door swayed, faintly reflecting the figure of Liu Jinfu sitting in the center of the main hall.

"Mother, the person has been brought." Ling Yue walked to the door of the main hall and bowed to the hazy figure in the veil.

"Didn't you come here today to check the palace?" Liu Jinfu's voice was cold, "Check it." ”

Shen Qingrong turned her head and nodded to her subordinates, and the palace people began to scatter, flocking to every corner of the hall.

"What are you going to do!"

"How can you be presumptuous in the palace of the noble concubine!"

A burst of noise and the sound of broken porcelain came from all directions, Jiang Ning closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a little pain in his waist again.

"Come in and sit."

Mu Jingzhao straightened up and took the lead in raising his feet and walking towards the hall, and by the way, he also took Jiang Ning, who was hammering his waist board on the side.
