Beijing——

Concubine De cried in the Chengguo Mansion for three days, and when she was about to return to the palace on the fourth day, she finally got rid of the spies placed by the emperor in Yanqing Palace and found an opportunity to talk to her father.

Cheng Guogong exhaled heavily from his nose: "A mere daughter of a scholar of the Criminal Department has forced you into such a situation, is she too capable, or are you too incompetent?" ”

Concubine De hung her hands at her side and clenched her fists tightly: "Does she have the ability or not, doesn't my father know?" Isn't it the father's person who used the connections in the palace to attack the six princes? ”

Cheng Guogong frowned: "Don't say this again in the future." ”

Everyone thought that it was the first queen's mother's family who killed the six princes, so they put white phosphorus powder in the nurse's clothes.

They didn't know that the reason why the Zhu family crossed the first queen and made a move on the six princes was because the personal maid beside the Zhu family's housewife was a traitor who had a head and end with Cheng Guogong in the early years, and was coaxed by him to obey his words with sweet words.

Cheng Guogong promised her that as long as the sixth prince died, he would accept her as a concubine.

Now the lowly maid girl followed the Zhu family who had been raided all the way to the capital.

Concubine De believed that with her father's viciousness, she would never let the maid arrive in the capital alive.

In this way, no one in this world knows what he did anymore.

If Jiang Xinyue didn't have the ability, how could he force him to take action in person?

Concubine De took a deep breath: "Was Grandmother really killed by the assassins of the Zhu family?" Or did my father put his grandmother to death in the name of a killer in order to calm the emperor's anger? ”

"Smack!"

Cheng Guogong turned around and gave Concubine De a slap: "Are you embarrassed to mention it?" If you hadn't fainted and poisoned Xuan'er, your grandmother wouldn't have beaten the queen with a cane for you, giving the emperor an excuse to take back the cane. The queen is dead, if your grandmother is still alive, will the emperor let go of the Chengguo Mansion? ”

This is an admission in disguise.

The Zhu family assassinated their grandmother, but the injuries did not lead to death, it was his father who chose one life to one life in order to appease the anger of the people and the palace against the Chengguo Mansion after the death of the queen.

"Father's ......"

Tears slipped down her eyes in large pieces, and Concubine De's face that was mistaken did not turn back, but lowered her tearful eyes: "If one day, I need to give up my daughter's life to keep the glory and wealth of the Chengguo Mansion, will my father give up me without hesitation?" ”

Grandmother......

Grandmother is the only person who has been kind to her since she was a child, and in order to protect her father and her, grandmother can die generously without hesitation.

But his father was not sad at all, and he had already thought of a way out even when he asked his grandmother to beat the queen.

He single-handedly contributed to his grandmother's death.

Without the killer, my grandmother would have died, either from illness or from guilt over the death of the queen.

"Don't think about what you have or don't have."

Cheng Guogong did not answer her question directly: "What you have to do now is to stand still, don't let Jiang Xinyue grab your handle, you don't have to worry about Xuan'er, I have found a famous doctor, and I will let him speak." Remember, I told you to stay still, just don't do anything, Jiang Xinyue...... The father will find the right time to eradicate it for you, and when necessary, it is best for you to make a gesture of repentance in front of the emperor, there is no impermeable wall in the world, you have to take precautions. ”

"The daughter knows, if the father has nothing else to do, the daughter will go back to the palace first."

In the Guogong Mansion, she can't even cry freely, because the seven emotions and six desires that a normal person should have are not allowed in her.

"Hmm!"

Cheng Guogong nodded with satisfaction: "While the concubine of the Jiang family has not returned to the palace, it is the right thing to quickly arrange your own people into Hexi Palace." ”

If you wait for Jiang Xinyue to come back, Hexi Palace will be like an iron bucket again.

Yanqing Palace——

A dull shout rang out, and Lu Yin was in the doorway, nervously closing his eyes, covering his ears with his hands, pretending that he couldn't hear.

The muffled voice was accompanied by a frightened cry begging for mercy: "Concubine De, I know it's wrong, woo...... Don't kill me, don't kill me...... Woowoo...... Uh......"

The people begging for mercy inside were covered with their mouths covered, and could only make short, rapid painful sounds.

Until the smell of blood came from the room, Lu Yin hurriedly waited at the door with a basin of water.

Concubine De walked out with bright red hands, washed her hands in the copper basin, and wiped the water stains with a cloth towel: "This palace doesn't want to hear anyone in the harem say that they heard a scream or a cat meow, do you understand?" ”

Lu Yin hurriedly nodded: "The slave maid will ask someone from the Internal Affairs Office to come over tomorrow and renovate the windows and doors here." ”

Make some soundproofing designs.

Concubine De snorted lightly and walked away.

A few palace maids who usually had a good relationship with Lu Yin finally dared to breathe loudly and grabbed Lu Yin's arm: "Sister Lu Yin, Niang Niang is getting more and more terrifying, I ...... I want to be transferred to another mother's palace. ”

"I ...... I also want! ”

A suppressed cry sounded: "Sister Green, I am old and young, I don't want to die in the palace......"

"That's it!"

Lu Yin was a little unbearable, but she still hardened her heart: "You do a good errand for Niangniang, naturally there will be nothing, I didn't hear those words just now, if it reaches Niangniang's ears, I can't save you." ”

Several little palace maids trembled in fright and closed their mouths.

In the room—

A woman in a pink palace dress with bare feet and hair was lying on the ground, her ten fingers were dripping with blood, and her fingernails had all been pulled out.

Ten fingers connected to her heart, but she was so painful that she couldn't move.

Lu Yin opened the door and came in, and the people on the ground raised their heads, it was Xiao Ronghua who disappeared in the palace, and the emperor searched for it, and turned over the entire harem and did not find it.

There are even rumors that Xiao Ronghua always said before his disappearance that if he could hear screams at night, he should have been captured or eaten by ghosts.

It makes people panic.

It was the imperial concubine who ordered that the harem should not be allowed to discuss this matter again, so the rumors of haunting did not continue to spread.

"Phew!"

The loud sound was particularly harsh in the night, Jiang Chuan opened his eyes with a "swoop", and ran out without putting on his clothes: "What's the matter?" Such a big move? ”

The palace was empty for more than half of the people, and the emperor and the concubines went to Qinzhou to escape the summer, and the palace fell silent all of a sudden.

The concubines who stayed behind don't have to compete for favor, they are either enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden all day long, or watching the scenery in the viewing pavilion, or they are about to play a pai gow or something.

The days of Hexi Palace were also extremely peaceful.

However, because Niangniang sometimes confessed, the guards in Hexi Palace must not be relaxed, so even if the harem is so peaceful, Jiang Chuan does not dare to slack off, for fear of harming Niangniang and the six princes in the future.
