Concealing each other

Xiao Zhen first thought about what flaws he had exposed that day. There should be none: "What did she ask you?"

"She didn't ask anything, she just asked me where you were. But I told her that I didn't even remember which servants were there at that time." Ren Jinxiu chuckled: "She was so angry."

Xiao Zhen glanced at her: "There were not many concubines when the late emperor was here, but now you two are the only ones left in the palace. Aren't you tired of tossing around every day?"

"If you don't bother, there's nothing else to do."

Xiao Zhen: "..."

"Besides, she has three sons, or three. I only have one. If I don't torment her to death, she will have to torment me." Speaking of this, Ren Jinxiu became nervous: "Sister-in-law, don't do it for yourself.

Heaven and earth will destroy her. Doesn’t her noble concubine have the idea of ​​​​wanting her son to ascend the throne? So I have to guard against her and strike first if necessary."

Xiao Zhen nodded: "Don't go too far. At least for now, the noble concubine has not done anything to harm you and the emperor. If this person is forced to do anything, she can do anything.

.The most stupid thing is to be smart but be mistaken for it, huh?"

"I understand. Sister-in-law, did you meet the concubine when you were the general?"

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and shook his head: "She was still a child at that time, but I have seen her a few times in the three years since I was the queen. Are you worried that she will recognize me?"

"My sister's identity as queen is that of the general's sister. How can others think about such a bizarre thing? I just remembered some rumors in the palace." Speaking of gossip, Ren Jinxiu's eyes lit up.

.

Xiao Zhen looked at Mrs. Ren speechlessly: "Since it's just gossip, it's okay not to talk about it."

"What if this gossip has something to do with you?"

"With me?"

Ren Jinxiu nodded with a smile: "It is said that the imperial concubine has liked a guard in the palace since she was a child. It is said that she entered the palace just because of this guard. She even refused to sleep with him many times because of this person. But after being in the palace for many years, she

I didn't see this guard again, and I gave up later."

"Absurd, do you believe this?" Xiao Zhen sneered a few times: "It's simply nonsense. When it comes to status, Duke Lu is from an aristocratic family, and the status of the noble concubine and noble daughter is worthy of the name, and she is much higher than you.

Well, how can you fall in love with a little guard?"

Ren curled her lips.

"Besides, what does this have to do with me?"

"I thought this guard might be you," Mrs. Ren said, "It's not what you said. You used to pretend to be a guard, either when you were wandering around the palace or performing tasks."

"You have a rich imagination." Xiao Zhen couldn't laugh or cry: "By the way, I have to leave the palace for a while."

Ren Jinxiu jumped up as soon as she sat down: "No. If you leave, what will happen to Run'er and me?"

"I can't stay with you forever. You have to walk this road on your own in the end." Xiao Zhen poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then, that's not now."

"It doesn't matter when I leave, it's not like I won't come back. Ziran still has to teach Run'er his homework, right?"

"What if someone harms us?" Ren Jinxiu asked anxiously.

"Since I can leave with peace of mind, the surrounding matters have naturally been arranged." After saying that, regardless of how anxious Ren Jinxiu looked, Xiao Zhen left directly from the darkness.

After walking out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Xiao Zhen went to the side hall where she usually lived to pack her things. When she suddenly looked up, she saw herself in the bronze mirror. Ever since she came here, the rouge and dress were insulated from her. The rest was fine. This

If I don't take care of my eyebrows, they will return to the thick eyebrows in a few days, and the hair on my body will grow out, and the outline will no longer be as delicate as before.

At this time, I don't look like a lady at all. So whether you want to be a beauty or just an ordinary woman, if you want to look beautiful, you have to spend a lot of time on dressing up every day.

Xiao Zhen kept looking at herself in the mirror. Of course, her focus was not on dressing up, but on one thing. She had heard rumors in Zhu Youshu more than once or twice that the Concubine had a crush on the guards.

, and even in one life, she knew that the guard the imperial concubine liked was herself, it seemed because she saved her.

In reality, she knew nothing about this, so the scene during the operation should be what Ziran had in mind.

Xiao Zhen shook her head and thought it was impossible. She had indeed saved Concubine Lu and her Duke Lu's wife before, but Concubine Lu was still a child at that time. How could she fall in love with her as a bodyguard at first sight.

"Madam." The shadow guard's voice sounded outside the door.

Xiao Zhen hid his thoughts and walked out.

"The guards have begun changing shifts."

"I understand. Be more careful in the future. If you are really in an emergency, go to the little miracle doctor." Xiao Zhen said, "Remember, no matter what happens, the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor is the most important."

"yes."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice: "If something happens to both the Queen Mother and the Emperor, please protect the Emperor."

The shadow guard was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

A shadow quickly flew out of the palace and jumped towards the outside of the city.

Two months later.

Things have changed in the capital since the Queen Mother and the Emperor returned to the palace. Every day there are reports of disappearances in the palace.

For example, the Queen Mother is domineering, and the Imperial Concubine is bullied to the point of crying every day.

Another example was that the Queen Mother wanted to murder the prince of the Imperial Concubine in order to stabilize the position of the young emperor, etc. These rumors were once widely spread, and some officials even boldly suggested that the Emperor should put the Queen Mother under house arrest.

Originally, the rumors were getting out of hand, but unexpectedly there was a big change overnight. It was said that the person being bullied in the palace was actually the Queen Mother. Imagine that the Queen Mother has three sons, and their father is the powerful Duke of Lu.

She also holds military talismans, even the little emperor is in control of them. The empress dowager and the little emperor are orphans and widowed mothers. They have no time to please the empress dowager every day, so how can they bully others.

As soon as the rumor came out, it instantly overshadowed the original ones. In comparison, the people seemed more willing to believe this version.

But no matter how chaotic the capital is, Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran, who are currently in Xuchang City, are thinking of ways to spend money to get promoted.

The two of them were sitting on stools and looking at the ten thousand taels of silver notes on the table.

Seeing his wife's gloomy expression, Han Ziran laughed: "You've been watching this all morning. Is it so hard for you to accept the fact that I use money to establish relationships?"

"I just find it unbelievable. In the past, none of us would have known about this kind of thing. We kept it secret from each other and just kept it together. I heard that someone reported this kind of thing to the capital before, but as soon as we entered the capital, we were assassinated."

"It's true." It happened three times during his tenure.

"It's really lawless."

Han Ziran sighed: "Now we can only wait until the emperor takes charge, and then we can take drastic measures to clear the Ming Dynasty."

Xiao Zhen rested his head lightly on her husband's shoulder.

At this time, Xiao Youer said in surprise outside the door: "Dad, Mom, it's snowing."

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhen stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, white snow began to fall under the quiet night sky, like catkins flying in the night sky.

Xiao You'er, Xiao Yao'er, and the little son who was just toddling around were all happily playing with the snowflakes.

Han Ziran came out and hugged his wife, and the two smiled and watched their children play.

The next day, Wu Yin returned from the capital and brought back news from the palace.

The Duke of Lu invited the emperor to have the most famous master in the Han Dynasty, Che Feiming Liang. Che Feiming Liang was not only the youngest number one scholar in the history of the Han Dynasty, he was also the late emperor's tutor, so his knowledge goes without saying.

Xiao Zhen was startled when he heard this name.

Zhao Jie looked at Xiao Zhen and said, "Che Feimingliang? Sister, isn't this the Master Che Feiming you once astonished at a glance?"

"That's him." Wu Yin said from the side: "There was no other man that my sister liked the most back then. If it hadn't been for the fact that the late emperor was too weak and I had to protect him at all times, maybe I would have been obsessed with Che Feifei.

The tyrant is ready to bow."

Xiao Zhen: "..." It's not such an exaggeration. She just salivated when she saw Mrs. Che Fei's appearance.

Xi Ya and Fang Xiang'er looked at each other, and Fang Xiang'er asked strangely: "Why is that Che Feifei my sister's favorite man?"

Zhao Jie and Wu Yin said in unison: "You look good."

"Who is good-looking?" Han Ziran's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw Han Ziran and the eldest brother of the Han family walking into the house.

"What are you talking about so happily?" The eldest brother of the Han family asked with a smile. In the past few years, the eldest brother of the Han family has grown a beard and looks more calm. With his generous temper and kindness to others, his business has grown rapidly.
