Chapter 151 The Frightened Bird

It was very sad when I was waiting for the knife. What was even more sad was the women in the palace. Concubine Wan Chen walked back and forth in front of Kunning Palace. The only thing that could save her was Queen Qian. Concubine Zhou was disliked by herself. Now she was so proud that the position of the crown prince could not be shaken. Zhen'er was driven out of the palace and no one could compete for the crown prince with her. Although the queen was not good, her status as a legitimate mother was placed there. The worst thing was that she was. If Concubine Zhou was more heartless, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive.

The emperor's harem has a large number of people, and in addition to this, there are more than 20 sisters. Now one of them is in panic.

"Empress, I heard that Empress Yang and Empress Fan have gone to the front to fight the Qing Palace..." a little palace maid ran away and said, "They all want to seek grace."

"What kind of grace do you want?" said Concubine Wan Chen.

The little palace maid shook her head, but Concubine Wan knew very well. She led the people to the front. The background in winter was very cold, and the heat in the stove could not take care of the cold feet. And outside the Ganqing Palace, there were more than 20 concubines standing there. But it was terrible.

Niu Yu stood in front of them: "Dear Empresses, go back, it's Concubine Zhou's night tonight..."

But no one moved.

"I heard from the little eunuch who served the emperor that the emperor's condition was very unstable..." Fan Fei said, "Everyone was very worried."

"The prince has already gone in." Concubine Yang said.

Zhen'er looked at these women from afar. Thinking about the last time she saw such a group of women, six or seven years ago, and she couldn't help them. The last time she was a child, it was also such a cold night, and the group of people knelt in front of Queen Sun's Kunning Palace.

The young self also asked the older aunt, who looked at him and said softly: "This is the fate of the concubines. If you don't want to follow their footsteps, do your own work. Don't think about being favored by the emperor." I didn't know what favored me at the time, but when I was twelve or thirteen years old, I felt as uncomfortable as if I died when I saw the emperor who wanted to leave me. It was Concubine Wan Chen, who was not her who replaced me back then, and the person who knelt in front of the Ganqing Palace was himself.

"The father can't stand it..." This is the prince's voice, "What can I see here by the envoy of Wanfu Town?" It was very cold, but the brocade cloak could not block the biting cold wind, and a tear had already turned into an ice bead.

"The emperor should be in his prime, but he can't escape this disaster." Zhen'er said, "Crown Prince, do you still remember the cause of the emperor?"

"It's the bandits in the southwest..."

"You must remember this hatred, Prince..."

"Of course I remember... I just couldn't bear to see these women at this moment..."

"I can't bear it? This is the third time in my life that I have seen these women's wailing. The Ming Dynasty brought back this abolished bad habit. I don't know how many people have harmed... Can the prince persuade the emperor that only the emperor can spare these people now."

"For thousands of years, this palace has always been a life-and-death death. I was born in the palace and didn't think that most people had evil thoughts. They just wanted to be safe. But for these thousands of years, those women were going to be buried with them..."

"Dream with your husband? The prince felt it was inappropriate, so why didn't he persuade the emperor? Now it's hard for me to persuade the woman in this palace to suffer... His Royal Highness the Prince should have seen it."

The prince once again walked into the Ganqing Palace.

I wonder if he would make the emperor angry this time? If he saves these women, if he loses the position of crown prince, he should not be able to do so according to the emperor's temper. How could Zhen'er feel good when she saw a group of people kneeling on the cold ground? It was really inconvenient to get close to these people in the clothing of the Jinyiwei.

Huaien came over: "The weather is cold, and Your Majesty gives you a special glass of wine to everyone..."

The emperor still remembers that these small things are very cold at night these days, and it would be better if there is a blood-activated wine, but drinking is not allowed in the forbidden palace.

"The emperor's condition?" Zhen'er asked.

"Don't ask again, you might as well go in and see for yourself. The prince came as soon as the emperor rested, and the two of them were talking over there, as if they were fighting for something. If you go in, maybe the emperor will blame you."

When Huai'en saw the women in front of the Ganqing Palace, she sighed and was about to go back. Niu Yu shouted: "Eunuch Dai, these women will freeze to death if they don't leave..."

"Empresses..." said Huaien, "You are in vain. The prince is here to plead for you... Maybe this time it will not involve many people, especially those who have given birth. The emperor is kind. If those princes and daughters are still there, how can they lose their mother?"

As soon as he said this, the half of the man stood up, and the palace maids and eunuchs pulled them or helped them away quickly, but there was still a group of people kneeling down.

The prince came out from it: "The father said that even the concubines who have never served in bed and those who have given birth will not be able to take care of them... Those who are only famous and do not want to stay will be given the reputation. Let them be allowed when they are released."

Most of the man left, and only a dozen unborn people were left with some servants crying there.

"This is already the gift of the emperor. What else do you want? Women will follow their husbands when they get married, let alone all the real empresses, and they are not as good as those palace maids who make up for the numbers temporarily... There has always been a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the female first day of commendation, why can't you think it out?" Niu Yu said.

Lifei Chen is a new member of the recent years. She stood up: "Dear-in-law, it is natural for the wife to keep the rituals for her husband, but it is not a burial of her. We are willing to accompany the ancient Buddha's green lamp, but we don't want to die now. The emperor and us are kind. How can we not know that it is just that we have not given birth to the emperor's heir. It is because we are not lucky. Qian is also a kind person. Let us come here to ask Your Majesty to spare us. There are not old examples in the past. What's more, those who have given birth can be spared, we..."

Niu Yu sighed: "Your words are probably disobedient, but it's okay to say them now. Our family will bite the bullet and help you pass on the message, but if you can avoid it, then let it go."

Concubine Li was reluctant to leave. Although she was so cold that she was trembling, she had absolutely no intention of leaving. Niu Yu waved her hand, and the little eunuch who served them suddenly thought of some orders and dragged their master away.

"How can your arms twist over your thighs?" Niu Yu said.

Zhen'er asked, "Are they... not all of them alive?"

"What? When did you become like this?"

"The Lifei is not bad..." Zhen'er said.

"There are many people in this world..." Niu Yu said, "Why don't you go to Menda to save people? There are many people locked up in his new prison."

Menda set up a prison privately and kept pretending to be stupid...

"Look, Mr. Li is here. Mr. Li is here by an order. These people are standing at the door of this backyard. You are so troublesome. The emperor must have something important to come to him..." Niu Yu said.

"How do you say this?" Zhen'er asked. Li Xian is the chief minister. He would not enter the palace easily without summoning for no reason. Is there something big in the emperor's mind? Can the emperor underestimate this? Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang were defeated so much. He was originally a person who could make chess pieces. Could it be that the prince made him dissatisfied? He was not by the prince's side. In fact, he was not the prince's person, because loyalty to the emperor was put in front of him. Empress Dowager Sun was the emperor's mother and asked him to protect the young prince. Now the court is the current emperor Zhu Qizhen. If he wants to change the crown prince, he can't do it. It's just that the prince is the eldest, so it would be strange if he feels sorry.

"Think about it... some people are too masculine..." Niu Yu said.

"No... father-in-law... the prince is not such a person... it's my fault... I shouldn't let the prince go to the emperor to plead for these people..." Zhen'er said.

"You are now more concerned..." Niu Yu said, "I'm afraid you should really retreat... If you want to go in..."
