Seeing that I looked hopelessly stupid, Gongsun Wen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Chengnan Liuqiang, think about it carefully."

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, but I didn't expect to use too much force. My chest hurt and I couldn't help coughing. My face turned red from coughing.

Zheng Xian glared at Gongsun Wen fiercely, but Gongsun Wen turned his head away and pretended not to see it.

I finally stopped coughing, took a breath, and said, "You, you mean, that willow wall refers to the concubine named Liu in the palace?"

Gongsun Wen said nothing.

Zheng Xian said calmly, "It just so happens that there is a concubine named Liu in the palace, so I have to be on guard."

I was totally shocked.

Just because of what Nanny Lu said, Zheng Xian killed the entire family.

What if, what if I made a mistake?

I looked at Zheng Xian anxiously and said, "Have you found out whether Concubine Liu and her family are plotting a rebellion?"

Zheng Xian stood up, turned around, put his hands behind his back and looked at the roof with an unfathomable look on his face. After a while, he said, "The prince is not yet able to rule independently. I must eliminate anything that threatens me."

My heart trembled when I heard Zheng Xian's words. Only then did I truly understand what it meant to serve the king like serving a tiger.

At this moment, the room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.

I looked at Zheng Xian's back, and some images suddenly flashed through my mind.

In the TV series "Long Xiang Yi", there is a concubine named Liu in the harem. She is not ranked very high and has few opportunities to appear on screen, but she is the mother of the seventh prince Zheng Bang. Her family is also quite prominent. Her father Liu Xiangyuan is the Minister of War, a high-ranking official in charge of the army and food in the world, and a very important figure in the court.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly started beating wildly.

Zheng Xian had long wanted to deal with Liu Xiangyuan, but he just couldn't find the opportunity. This time, Nanny Lu gave him a chance, so he took the opportunity to uproot the Liu family and eliminate the trouble forever.

Those were his own son's grandparents, and because of just one sentence, their entire family was executed.

What kind of devil is this that can do such a cruel thing?

I suddenly felt a little exhausted, and fell into a state of empty fear.

Perhaps because I was silent for too long, Zheng Xian turned around and looked at me. Seeing that my face was frighteningly pale, Zheng Xian sighed and said, "Ah Man, come back to the palace with me. I can take care of you in the palace."

I have never thought about entering the palace. I am just a simple person who wants to live a simple life. Being trapped in the palace and living a cage-like life is really not what I want.

I shook my head and said, "I'm seriously injured now, so it's really inconvenient for me to move. Let's talk about it later."

Zheng Xian just looked at me like that, and his eyes were a little scary.

Gongsun Wen moved back carefully, and when he felt safe he huddled aside without saying a word.

After a long while, Zheng Xian flicked his sleeves, snorted for an inexplicable reason, and turned away.

Gongsun Wen bowed behind Zheng Xian and shouted, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

A scream was heard in the courtyard: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on returning to the palace."

I looked at Gongsun Wen who had not left, and asked in surprise, "Why don't you leave?"

Gongsun Wen walked to my bed and said something out of nowhere: "There are 118 people in the Liu family."

I looked at Gongsun Wen in confusion.

Gongsun Wen smiled as if to mock himself, and said: "There are dozens of people in my Gongsun Mansion, which is not too many, but not too few either. In order not to harm the innocent, I will let them leave the mansion tomorrow, so as to accumulate some merit for myself."

I finally understood what Gongsun Wen meant by what he said just now. All 118 people in the Liu family were killed!

I felt a chill down my spine and said in a hoarse voice, "What about Concubine Liu and the Seventh Prince?"

Gongsun Wen glanced at me and said coldly, "Concubine Liu? His Majesty didn't kill her because she was the Seventh Prince's biological mother. He just banished her to the cold palace. Until the Seventh Prince."

Gongsun Wen paused, then continued, "It depends on whether he has the ambition to seize the throne. If not, that's fine. But if he does, I'm afraid he will end up dead on the street."

I couldn't help but shudder when I heard this and said, "The Seventh Prince is only seven or eight years old at most. How can we tell if he has ambitions to seize the throne?"

Gongsun Wen smiled coldly and said, "Everyone has greed. Your Majesty is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. How can he tolerate someone being greedy for his throne?"

I turned my head and a tear rolled down from the corner of my eye.

This world is too crazy, and I am filled with fear for the unknown future.

I choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is another purpose for letting me enter the palace?"

Gongsun Wen brushed his sleeves and said, "The emperor's will cannot be guessed at will. You should do it on your own."

Gongsun Wen wanted to leave after he finished speaking.

I quickly turned around and shouted, "Where's Ankang?"

Gongsun Wen paused and said, "Ankang was beaten with forty sticks. I'm afraid he won't be able to serve you in the near future. As for Wei Chang."

Gongsun Wen looked a little strange, so I quickly asked, "What happened to Wei Chang?"

Gongsun Wen looked at me and said, "Wei Chang was originally a discarded child. Now he has no repentance and failed to protect me. His Majesty has sent him to carry out a very dangerous mission. As for whether he can come back alive, it depends on his luck."

I looked at Gongsun Wen in disbelief. No wonder he said he wanted to release the servants in his house, because if anything happened to me here again, I'm afraid no one in his house would be able to escape and they would all suffer.

I bit my lips tightly, my mind seemed to be blank, my chest was blocked, and the blood surged up. Suddenly, my throat felt sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth!

Before I fainted, I said, "I want to go to the palace."

After saying this, his eyes went dark and he fainted completely.

I don’t know how long I slept. When I woke up, I found that everything in the room had changed.

The originally heavy curtains were turned into light and breathable silk curtains; the thick mahogany bed was turned into a lighter-colored pearwood bed, and the patterns were more numerous and complex.

The furnishings in the whole house were all light-colored. The bed, cabinets, and tables were all light-colored. Even the windows were made of light-colored glazed windows. The whole house looked bright and clean, not as dull and depressing as Gongsun Wen's residence.

I was looking around in confusion when a little girl dressed as a palace maid came to my bed with a basin of water. Seeing that I was awake, she said happily, "Young lady is awake? I was thinking that if Young lady is still not awake, I will have to go to the Imperial Physician's Office to ask the Imperial Physician to come and examine Young lady."

Miss?

I quickly touched my head and found that my hair was indeed loose. I quickly lifted a corner of the quilt and saw that what he was wearing was indeed a woman's underwear.

It had been so long since I had appeared as a woman that I felt a little guilty. I held onto the corner of the quilt tightly and asked, "Where is this?"
