Chapter 961 Life is long
Although they said they were getting old, Wu Yin and Zhao Jie still seemed to be on the same page regarding the hidden piles left in the palace.
"Not only have there been many hidden piles in the palace, but they have also changed a lot in recent years." Xiao Zhen stood in a courtyard, looking at the palace and flower gardens walking along the way: "If I hadn't prepared a map of the palace earlier, even I
We’re all going to get lost.”
"The emperor has renovated all these abandoned palaces and changed their appearance a lot." Wu Yin pointed at Xiao Zhen and held up a corner of the map: "We are here now."
"This road doesn't seem to go to the Queen's Palace." Zhao Jie looked at the map.
Xiao Zhen nodded: "I want to see that Concubine Xing first to see what kind of person she is that can make the emperor so obsessed."
Concubine Xing's palace was very close to the imperial study, and there was only an imperial garden in between. This shows how special the emperor was to Concubine Xing.
Xiao Zhen just entered the palace and was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in the palace. He almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place.
"We're not going wrong, are we?" Zhao Jie looked at the layout in front of him. A palace in Nuo Da was actually filled with vegetables and various farm tools.
"That's right. I asked the shadow guard to get this map. It should be correct." Wu Yin also looked at this in surprise: "This Concubine Xing turned her own palace into a farm?"
"These vegetables are really good." Xiao Zhen smiled faintly and walked in: "They are special enough."
"Is it possible that these are the reasons why Concubine Xing is so popular with the emperor?" Wu Yinqi asked.
At this time, several palace maids came out of the palace.
The three of Xiao Zhen who were hiding in the dark watched them leave and were about to come out when they saw a woman wearing peasant clothes stepping out of the door.
"Empress, the Emperor probably won't come so late." The palace maid who followed closely said to the woman: "The Queen Mother has returned to the palace, and I heard that she is talking to the Emperor right now."
The woman nodded.
"Your Majesty, once the Queen Mother comes back, she will definitely support her. Then you will be wronged." The palace maid said softly: "What should we do?"
Concubine Xing frowned slightly: "Since the Queen Mother has returned to the palace, why doesn't Nanny Fang come back?"
"Perhaps Mommy will be troubled by something."
"Ms. Fang always puts the affairs of this palace first. Even if she is entangled in something, she will send a letter. You go and find out if anything happened." Concubine Xing said.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Concubine Xing finished speaking, a high-pitched voice came from outside the palace: "The Emperor is here, the Queen is here, the Queen Mother is here -"
Xiao Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, raised his eyebrows. From what Concubine Xing said just now, it seemed that the nun who had escaped from the Queen Mother had not yet seen Concubine Xing, but here, the Queen Mother was already eager to find her.
Concubine Xing.
"Such a big fight." Zhao Jie said twice: "It's too late, the Queen Mother still comes to settle accounts with Concubine Xing."
"It seems that the Queen Mother is very angry." Wu Yindao.
Wu Yin and Zhao Jie had already known about the bullying of the Queen Mother in Qingshui County from Xiao Zhen's shadow guard, but they did not expect that the Queen Mother would settle the score with Concubine Xing as soon as she entered the palace without resting.
"If Lu'er hadn't happened in our house, the Queen Mother wouldn't have been so angry that she came to look for Concubine Xing all night long," Xiao Zhen said.
There were so many people pouring in and out of the hall that it suddenly became bright.
Only then did Xiao Zhen see the appearance of Concubine Xing. When she was in the countryside, she had seen Concubine Xing a few times, but she only had a rough impression. Now that she is a concubine, her appearance has changed a lot.
He is a rough man in the countryside, but his words and deeds are much more elegant than before.
Before Concubine Xing could salute, Ren Jinxiu was stunned when he saw the scene in the palace. He looked around in disbelief. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at Concubine Xing with eyes full of disgust and said sternly: "You actually
Use all the good palaces to grow vegetables? The state has national laws and the palace has palace rules. Who allows you to act so randomly in the palace?"
"Concubine, concubine..." Concubine Xing was scolded by the Queen Mother, and she looked at the emperor as if she was begging for help.
The emperor hurriedly said: "Queen mother, please calm down. Concubine Xing misses her hometown, so my son specially allowed her to grow some vegetables here to alleviate the pain of homesickness."
"The pain of homesickness?" Ren Jinxiu sneered a few times: "Since I miss you so much, just go back. Why waste a good palace."
"Mother, this is just a small matter."
"Emperor, what does the palace represent? What does the concubine's words and deeds mean? Everything in the palace is an example for the world. She changed the palace into a farming field at will, so what else does the palace need?" Ren Jinxiu said.
vocal tract.
In the dark, Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on his daughter. Xinyao was wearing a queen's uniform and looked dignified and steady. She stood quietly next to the queen mother, with an upright figure and the demeanor of the mother of a country.
"I haven't seen Yao'er for many years. The last time I saw her, I didn't see Yao'er so thin." Xiao Zhen murmured.
"It's strange that Yao'er is not thin in this palace." Wu Yin sighed: "Not only do we have to manage the palace in an orderly manner, but we also have to deal with the jealousy of the concubines from time to time. We also have to serve the emperor, which is very hard."
"After the emperor ascended the throne, he accepted concubines one after another. Yao'er will definitely not feel good about it." Zhao Jie watched Yao'er grow up, as if he were his own child, and he cherished her in his heart.
Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on the emperor again. The emperor had managed the government very well in the past few years. He could make timely decisions in the face of natural and man-made disasters and was deeply loved by the people. It can be said that Run'er is a good emperor. Now
The peaceful and prosperous age of the Great Khan was the result of his diligent rule.
But between him and Yao'er...
At this time, there was a change in the scene. Concubine Xing suddenly knelt in front of the Queen Mother and kowtowed her head desperately: "I beg the Queen Mother to let my brother go. He is the only one in our family. Please let the Queen Mother let him go."
My brother’s life.”
"The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Not only did he use you, Concubine Xing, to rob people's daughters, he even dared to molest the Ai family. You also asked the Ai family to let him go?" Ren Jinxiu chuckled twice.
The emperor's expression was also very bad. He really didn't expect that Concubine Xing's brother would do such a thing and be caught by his mother. What's more terrible is that he was disrespectful to his mother. Even if he asked for mercy, he couldn't ask for mercy.
.
Wu Yin, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly said: "Look at the emperor's hands, are they asking for help from Yao'er?"
Xiao Zhen looked and sure enough, the emperor secretly tugged on Yao'er's sleeve.
"Yao'er cannot participate in this matter. The Queen Mother will definitely give Yao'er some face, but the Queen Mother will definitely feel unhappy." Zhao Jie said: "Should we remind Yao'er?"
"Need not."
Wu Yin and Zhao Jie both looked at Xiao Zhen.
"This is Yao'er's life. We can intervene once, but we cannot protect her for the rest of her life." Xiao Zhen frowned, his expression not very good, but his voice remained calm.
Wu Yin and Zhao Jie both sighed and looked at Yao'er.
Lu Xinyao lowered her eyes and looked at the emperor who kept tugging on her sleeves. Her calm eyes gradually showed a slight fluctuation. Over the years, she was moved by what the emperor said in the countryside, saying that he also wanted to be like her parents.
They walked together sweetly for a lifetime, yes, they were indeed sweet for a few years, but in the end they drifted apart.
In this life, you will know what regret is only if you go through it yourself.
Seeing that the queen was unmoved, the emperor was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
"Yao'er, what do you think we should do with this matter?" The Queen Mother became more and more disgusted when she saw Concubine Xing kneeling down to beg for mercy, unable to hold herself up on the table.
In the dark, Wu Yin sighed: "What does the Queen Mother mean? By asking Yao'er like this, isn't this making things difficult for Yao'er? No matter how she answers, Yao'er will definitely offend the emperor."
"That's right, isn't this going to cause trouble for the juniors?" Zhao Jie also agreed.
Xiao Zhen said nothing, but looked at his daughter distressedly.
"Concubine Xing's brother raped a common girl. According to the law, he should be thrown into jail. However, he was disrespectful to the queen. He should be executed for using such filthy words." Lu Xinyao said this.
, the voice is clear and light.
Upon hearing the word "dangzhan", Concubine Xing's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at Xiao Zhen resentfully: "Queen, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill my brother so viciously? Normally in the palace,
Even if you framed me several times and tried to poison me, I have never shown any disrespect to you, and even said good things about you in front of the emperor, but what about you?"
The emperor's face was also very gloomy. He just wanted to put an end to the matter and there was no way the queen didn't know what he meant.
"You said that I want to frame you? Do you want to poison you?" Lu Xinyao slowly walked up to Concubine Xing and lowered his head to look at her.
"good."
Lu Xinyao smiled faintly and turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you believe what Concubine Xing said?"
