the seventh day.

Sangzhi still couldn't make big moves, as if a layer of skin had been torn off her back, it hurt so much that her internal organs were pulled up at every turn.However, the unrest in the harem continued, and the news that the empress of Kunning Palace was suspended caused a shock in the government and the public. Naturally, some people in Chengqian Palace were happy and some were worried.

"Our empress is really going to be a queen this time!"

"That's not right! The emperor loves the empress so much."

"Are we going to Kunning Palace too?"

"I don't care where I go, I just hope that my mother will let me be there."

"Me too. The best place to go is following your mother."

Sang Zhi listened to the maids chewing their tongues with a blank expression, his eyes were sharp.Xu Shi is vulnerable in illness, and the predicament makes people change their minds. Looking at these smug maids, and thinking of Su Le who is under house arrest alone, Sangzhi suddenly became angry and sneered silently with extreme disdain.What is Chengqian Palace!Sang Zhi was full of resentment, maybe the owner here will die tomorrow, and you fools will be buried with him!

She gritted her teeth, despising these palace servants viciously in her heart.Immediately, I felt powerless again, and felt that they were too pitiful.Even the royal concubines Dong E and Sang Zhi felt pitiful.Thinking that although Dong E's family is in full swing now, but will return soon, Sangzhi can't help but lament - the glory and wealth of this world are really like the flowers in the mirror of the moon in the water. You see, she is so high above the people, how could she be expected? Will the fragrance disappear in an instant?

Pity is poor, Sang Zhi doesn't care.At this moment, these people are dead people in her eyes. The deceased are all living beings buried in the dust of history. They will die sooner or later, and no one can change it.Now apart from herself, Sang Zhi only cares about Su Le and Lu Ying.The human heart is like this, good things are mutual.Sangzhi made friends with them, and the two of them were the living people in Sangzhi's heart.Those court ladies had nothing to do with Sang Zhi, if they died, Sang Zhi would only feel sorry for them, but would never do anything for them.But Su Le and Lu Ying are different. Sang Zhi not only saves herself, but also helps them with all her heart.

She originally just wanted to use the power of Chengqian Palace to see clearly the division of forces in the palace so that she could choose a tree to live in.After all, Sangzhi knew in his heart that the glory and wealth of Chengqian Palace was just a flash in the pan.Even Emperor Shunzhi died young, not to mention the Dong E family who died earlier than Shunzhi.It's just that she didn't know when this "morning" was, so she had to take a gamble and stay in Chengqian Palace silently.Chengqian Palace's honor and favor to Sheng Xieli's sixth palace means that this is the top of the harem's power.Climbing up and looking far away, you can see more things here.But she didn't want to make a name for herself in Chengqian Palace all along. Her original plan was to quietly be an insignificant little maid. If she didn't enter the inner hall, even if she was buried with her, she wouldn't have such a wide scope.But that time on New Year's Eve made her change her mind.In the final analysis, being a little palace maid is just letting me take the life of a mermaid, maybe she will be tossed to death before she can be buried with her.It's better to take advantage of the situation and climb up first before trying to find other palaces.

But now it is very different, she has decided to go to Kunning Palace.As for how to get to Kunning Palace, she still has no idea.But a very clear direction is that according to the current situation, only Dong E's can do it.

It's a pity that she was usually unknown, but she lost her favor in front of Dong E's in her early days.First, he was disciplined due to poor etiquette, and then he bumped into the queen, causing quite a commotion.It even made the emperor start with this, and severely punished the empress for her abilities, making the harem restless.Under such circumstances, how can the Dong E family use her, or more precisely, how can the cautious Concubine Dong E dare to send her to Kunning Palace?

Sangzhi felt a big headache.One thing after another, unintentionally inserting willows will become a disadvantage.All the things piled up will be a great disadvantage to her.But what Sang Zhi knew was that it would be difficult for her to get to Kunning Palace on the right way now.

But how could she not go?It's fine if she doesn't know that Su Le is the queen. Now that she knows that her little friend is being bullied, how can she remain indifferent?Her sympathy for Su Le was like self-pity.Out of the psychology of sympathy and sympathy for each other, she wanted to do her best to protect Su Le.In the final analysis, in her heart, Su Le is just an underage girl.The driving force of emotion to a person is mostly out of love.Although Lin Wenlan himself seems indifferent, he is actually very affectionate.It's just that there are very few people who can make her fall into the scope of "love".Although it has turned into a mulberry branch now, the soul in that body is still the affectionate Lin Wenlan.She regards Su Le as her only friend, the only person in the deep palace who can give her some comfort, so her sympathy and love for Su Le is like a confidant, anxious and worried about a friend's suffering.

And because they are just friends, she always maintains her rationality even though she is anxious.She knew very well that the top priority was to take care of her body so that she could at least move freely.As long as I can get down to the ground and walk a little distance, I will go to Su Le.

As the days dragged on, Sang Zhi kept hearing news about Kunning Palace from the whispers of the maids.Lu Ying took care of her every day a while ago, but recently she came less and less.Sang Zhi thought to himself if something important happened.On the days when the green warbler doesn't come, Sang Zhi has to rely on herself for everything.Only Luying doesn't care about her honor or disgrace or her status, but the maids in Chuxiu Palace are not like this.Sangzhi made such a big mistake and was punished so badly. Now almost the entire harem knows that a maid named Sangzhi in Chengqian Palace was severely punished for colliding with Kunning Palace.The court ladies have no other skills, but they have a strong sense of seeking good luck and avoiding evil.He also heard that Sangzhi had "bad deeds" when he was in Xinzheku, so he regarded her as an ominous person, and no one wanted to get close to her.On the contrary, Tong'er, although arrogant and disgusted, would often help her with some things.

"Here!" Tong'er brought her food, and when Sang Zhi reached out to pick it up, Tong'er shouted, "Don't touch me! It's bad luck."

Sangzhi felt unspeakable, "You put it on the table."

Tong'er snorted, "If it wasn't for your pity, I wouldn't come looking for bad luck."

Sang Zhi smiled in her heart, knowing that it was bad luck, Tong'er would come to help her deliver meals, after all, this little girl is not so unkind.It's common for palace people to protect themselves wisely, so Sang Zhi was ready to be despised at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Tong'er would come to help him.

"Hey, it's unlucky to have so many incidents during the Chinese New Year." Tong'er gave her a disgusted look, "But if the empress becomes a queen, maybe she can be happy." Tong'er was delighted, "At that time we It is a great honor!"

"..." Sang Zhi felt very uncomfortable.She glanced at Tong'er, "If the queen is abolished, will the queen be relegated to a side concubine like Concubine Jing?" She wanted to sound out.This kind of thing often can only reveal some information in the words of the court ladies and eunuchs.

Tong'er said, "There is always such a good thing. I heard that Concubine Jing was deposed only because of jealousy. The emperor didn't like it, and there was nothing wrong with it. But now this Kunning Palace, it can be said in the imperial decree-the character is very good." It’s disrespectful, it’s disrespectful, and it’s said that the Kunning Palace is not strict in governing the palace, has no skills, and is not worthy of the seat in the Central Palace. If it is abolished, I’m afraid it will be thrown into the cold palace.”

"Ding——" Sang Zhi shook her hand, and the spoon fell into the bowl.Lenggong——what is Lenggong?That kind of place can drive people crazy to death.It is completely different from Sang Zhi's original impression of the Leng Gong. The historical Leng Palace practiced confinement. The concubine who was put into the Leng Palace would be confined in a small dark and remote house, which is by no means a magnificent place to live.The conditions in the cold palace are as bad as those of prisoners.Outsiders are not allowed to enter without authorization, and concubines are not allowed to leave without authorization.There are no servants and servants, only the concubine is confined in the darkroom, and the daily food is delivered by the palace people on time.If you encounter evil servants, you may not be able to eat.There is no warm clothes in the cold, no cool breeze in the summer, eating pigs and dogs is not as good as eating, being confined all the year round without seeing the sun, and watching the face of the snobbish slave until death.This kind of tortured life is either crazy or suicide.But when did the queen ever commit the crime of being tortured? !

It turns out that the imperial decree of Shunzhi first accused the queen of being ineffective in governing the harem and had no merit;In the final analysis, having no merit or virtue is a matter of conduct. If you abolish the empress in this way, you will be demoted to a side concubine at most. But the key point is that "disrespect" refers to the crime of disrespect to the empress dowager, which is a felony.The seven rules for women—disobedience to parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, serious disease (that is, serious illness), talkative (talking too much or gossiping about others), stealing, disobedience to parents is a violation of morality, which is The first and most serious.What's more, in the royal family, the crime of not being filial to the empress dowager is enough to put people in limbo.Concubine Jing was abolished just because of the word "jealousy", and she was replaced by Borzigit Sule, and she was forcibly given the name of violating virtue and committing the crime of disrespect!Sangzhi held a breath of evil in his heart, why was Emperor Shunzhi so vicious!

She never imagined that Emperor Shunzhi was just making use of the problem.From the eighth year of Shunzhi to the 15th year of Shunzhi, the 21-year-old Shunzhi Emperor has only been in charge for more than seven years.He wiped out the former Dorgon's influence in the court, and brought all the powers of the court into his hands.After so many years, the position of emperor finally lived up to its name.But without Dorgon, there is also the empress dowager.Even though he had the ability to control the former dynasty, he had to obey the orders of the empress dowager from the beginning to the end.However, the young emperor was extremely rebellious, thinking that he was the son of heaven, the master of the subjects of the world, and he should obey his orders in the whole world.But in this world, only his own harem is completely out of his control, and it goes against his wishes everywhere. Therefore, after Emperor Shunzhi took the throne firmly, he has been openly and secretly resisting the empress dowager in the harem.In particular, he managed to abolish Dorgon and the empress Meng Guqing that the empress dowager forced on him, and who knew that the empress dowager forced him to choose Borzigit Sule.Originally, he could accept silently that well water does not violate river water, but no one expected that Dong E's family would appear.Emperor Shunzhi had his own love, but he couldn't even give her the name of his wife, so the successor little queen who represented the power of the empress dowager became a thorn in his side, and he hated the little queen extremely.It's okay to hate a person, but the problem is that it's the emperor's disgust.The wrath of the emperor lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.Naturally, the emperor's dislike can also make people unable to seek death. This is the power and arrogance of the emperor who is supreme and no one dares to desecrate.

Sang Zhi couldn't comprehend the twists and turns.It's just that when she suddenly realized the crime the emperor had given the little queen, she was furious like never before.However, anger is useless.Sang Zhi gritted her teeth, trying to calm down.She lowered her eyes, swallowed her food mouthful, suppressed her turbulent mood, and said in a chatty manner, "The imperial concubine must be very happy."

"Speaking of the imperial concubine, it's also strange." Tong'er's expression was very puzzled, "It stands to reason that this should be a great thing, but I heard that the imperial concubine sighed, and she didn't see joy at all." Then paused, " But maybe it’s because of worrying about the Empress Dowager’s phoenix body.”

Sangzhi was thoughtful.

She was finally able to walk two steps, and when the wound on her back was involved, the pain was no longer so unbearable, and Sang Zhi wished to go to Su Le immediately.But now that Su Le is under house arrest in the Kunning Palace, I'm afraid that the Kunning Palace is already in turmoil, making it difficult to get in and even harder to get out.And after what happened last time, I'm afraid that no one in Kunning Palace doesn't know her, even if she wants to take the risk to sneak in.The deep palace is heavily guarded, and Sang Zhi is a lowly court lady, how can she enter Kunning Palace?The two maids walking and talking together are not eye-catching - so she can have the opportunity to talk easily with Su Le who is pretending to be a court lady, but the location is mostly in the Yongshou Palace, which is rarely seen - but it is basically impossible to sneak into any palace. possible.

——Eternal Life Palace? !

Sangzhi's heart trembled, and a light flashed in his mind.The emperor is now letting Concubine Jing of Yongshou Palace let her go. As the aunt of the little empress, if Concubine Jing enters and exits Kunning Palace at this time, it will not cause much commotion.Who in the palace doesn't know Concubine Jing?Who dares to provoke her?What's more, although Meng Guqing is a deposed empress, she is a side concubine and still the master.In other words, the only one who is most likely to enter Kunning Palace now is Concubine Jing of Yongshou Palace.

But is she going to ask Concubine Jing?Sang Zhi swallowed nervously, cold sweat broke out in his palms.Back then she and Su Le met in Concubine Jing's Yongshou Palace, Concubine Jing must have known that she and Su Le had known each other since infancy.Sang Zhi thought, under the current situation, Yongshou Palace is indeed the best choice.However, she almost died in the Yongshou Palace, and she went there countless times without daring to step into the backyard once, and only dealt with the eunuch guarding the front yard.Now who has the guts to go to Yongshou Palace to ask for help!

The heart of mulberry branches is fried like fire.She finally found a possible opportunity to go to Kunning Palace, but she was really terrified, and she didn't have the courage to ask Concubine Jing at all.Now in this dilemma, it is better not to be able to think of a way out!

However, Yongshou Palace is no longer stable.

Although Concubine Jing always knew that the emperor intended to abolish the empress, and even made things difficult for the little empress several times, she knew that as long as the empress dowager was around and Su Le had no mistakes, the emperor would definitely not be able to abolish the empress.It's just that she never expected that the emperor would take advantage of the empress dowager's illness to convict Su Le of being disrespectful, and resort to thunderbolts to suspend his authority in the middle palace.It seems that he intends to kill first and then play, taking advantage of the fire to loot.

Concubine Jing's face was gloomy, "What a disrespectful offer!" She said angrily, "The one who really doesn't do his best, isn't he himself? Knowing that the Empress Dowager is ill and it's not appropriate to bother her, but to take advantage of this loophole, it's just... shameless! "

Embarrassed, Jinxiu hurriedly made a gesture to cover her mouth, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Be careful what you say!" Concubine Jing sternly said, "The posthumous position has been abolished, I am just an idle abandoned concubine, no one cares about this place." She slapped the table angrily, "I'll forget it, the queen has What's wrong! Ever since she entered the palace, she has ever violated the slightest bit! She has always been respectful and tolerant, but now she has been accused of disrespect!" Concubine Jing almost gritted her teeth, "No, I Go to him to reason! Too bullying!"

"Oh, my empress!" Jinxiu turned pale with fright, and quickly grabbed her, "Don't you know that one yet? He hates the empress in his heart, and it's out of thin air. What can you come up with if you ask him to reason?" Come on! Don't you burn your body?"

"It's unreasonable, but I want everyone in the world to know what kind of emperor he is!" Concubine Jing was furious. The servant mother is not filial, and even framed her own wife for no reason, just because of that bitch in Chengqian Palace!" Concubine Jing clenched her fists tightly, "Even if I can't give the queen justice, I still have to meet Dong E for a while. That slut of yours, it’s a big deal to die together! Do you really think that people from the Horqin family are so easy to bully? If the Taizu entered the customs without the help of my Horqin family, would he be able to enjoy the world like this emperor here? A bastard who has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed his faith!"

Probably there is only one concubine Jing in the whole world who dares to scold the emperor so vehemently.Even in the desolate Yongshou Palace, Jinxiu's legs went limp after hearing it, and she lay on the ground and hugged Concubine Jing's leg and cried, "Your Majesty, please stop scolding! If you are heard, it will be a death penalty!"

"Am I afraid of death?! Get up!" Concubine Jing kicked her, "I'll let you get up!"

"Your Majesty!" Jinxiu cried sadly, holding her legs tightly, "Since Your Majesty must die if she goes here, Jinxiu will never dare to live alone. The road to the Yellow Springs is not easy to walk, so this servant will go to find out the way for Your Majesty first." Then he got up suddenly and slammed into the pillar beside him.

It might as well be that Jinxiu was like this all of a sudden, Concubine Jing quickly stretched out her hand to pull her, but she still couldn't resist Jinxiu's determination to risk her life to remonstrate with her, with a "boom", Jinxiu's forehead hit the pillar, and blood flowed out immediately.Fortunately, Concubine Jing finally held her back to buffer her momentum, Jinxiu didn't hurt her life, she only became dizzy and half fainted.

"Jinxiu!" Concubine Jing was so frightened that her heart trembled, she hurriedly hugged her in her arms, and said loudly, "Call the imperial doctor, quickly call the imperial doctor!"

But Jinxiu pressed Concubine Jing's hand, "Your Majesty, no." Her tone was extremely weak, but she held onto Concubine Jing's hand desperately, "My Lady, don't tell the story of tonight, and your Majesty, don't call the imperial doctor."

"How can I do that! You are hurt so badly!" Concubine Jing burst into tears, "Why are you so stupid, you can hit me if you say so, are you going to piss me off!"

"It's my servant's fault." Jinxiu smiled weakly, "But I beg your mother not to call the imperial doctor for the sake of my servant's service for so many years. Even if Jinxiu dies, if she can save her life, she deserves her death."

Concubine Jing was finally depressed, following Jinxiu's wishes, she just waved away all the palace people, hugged Jinxiu tightly and choked, "But, you are dead, what's the point of me being alone in this palace...Jinxiu, I don't care about anything. No more, only you. How dare you risk your life, how dare you..."

"Your Majesty..." Jinxiu burst into tears, "It is a gift from God that this servant can follow Your Majesty for the rest of her life. Your servant's life belongs to your Majesty. Madam, don't be sad. If one day, this servant can die for your Majesty, then It is the blessings that slaves have cultivated for several lifetimes—”

Concubine Jing covered her mouth, "Don't say it! Don't say it, I won't go, I won't look for him..." She helped Jinxiu to the bed with difficulty, "We don't care about others, just take care of ourselves. "She thought, even if she is willing to die, can she save the queen?Jinxiu's blood reminded Concubine Jing that today is different from the past, and she can no longer act according to her will.Is this deep palace a deep palace, and the deep palace doesn't allow her but doesn't let her go, so what can she do?Concubine Jing is full of grief, if she had known this day would come, she would never enter the emperor's house even if she died!Just poor little queen.

Jinxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the strong consciousness dissipated, and she still passed out in the end.Concubine Jing's eyes were red, she did not pretend to be someone else's hand, she personally found out the medicine and applied it to her.The women of the Horqin family all came out on horseback, and they have dealt with general wounds.Concubine Jing carefully bandaged her to stop the bleeding, knowing in her heart that there was nothing she could do about the emperor's decision to abolish the empress.Although it was difficult to get angry, and resented the emperor for being so heartless and cruel, and put the little queen to death, but in the end, that person is the emperor, the master of the world who holds the power of life and death.Except for the empress dowager, I am afraid that no one can save Su Le.But now, the empress dowager is seriously ill, and I'm afraid she doesn't know about these things outside.Moreover, everyone in the palace has bright eyes and is used to flattering the emperor. How could anyone be willing to risk falling out of favor or even dying for this unfavored little queen?Even Su Le's own sister, Concubine Shu Hui, did not see any movement.

And the only one who dared, Concubine Jing, was never liked by the Empress Dowager.Especially now that the Empress Dowager is ill, she is even less welcome.At the Compassion Palace, Concubine Jing couldn't speak at all.

Day, day, day after day.Seeing that more than half of the first month has passed, not only did Kunning Palace show no signs of improvement, but the situation became more and more tense.Sang Zhi couldn't hold back anymore, mustered 12 points of courage, and ran to Yongshou Palace.

In the dark of night, standing at the gate of Yongshou Palace, Sang Zhi's heart was in his throat.However, she had no choice, either risked her life to get in, or left Su Le alone.She twisted her hands together, took deep breaths, and said to the eunuch guarding the gate, "Mulberry Branch of Chengqian Palace, I have been ordered to see Concubine Jing."

The eunuchs also heard about her, and knew that Yongshou Palace only came to low-class people, but after all, she was from Chengqian Palace, and they had some friendship in the past, so they laughed, "Miss Sangzhi is very famous."

Sang Zhi smiled, "Please inform me." The eunuch who guards the gate taunted him, and he dared not miss out on his errands.

Jinxiu was very surprised when she heard Sang Zhi's name, although she didn't know what was wrong with her, but the harem is in chaos now, Jinxiu didn't want to cause more trouble, so she was sent to say no.

When Sang Zhi heard the eunuch's reply, his heart felt cold for a moment, and he retreated immediately.But she just turned half of her body, and saw the Longfu Gate diagonally opposite - Su Le was trapped there now.It's so close, but so far away.Su Le couldn't get out, and she couldn't get in either.

Sang Zhi's eyes were deep, and remembering what Luying did last time, she saluted again, "Please call back to Aunt Jin, Sang Zhi will wait until Empress Concubine Jing sees me." The wound that had just healed had already been split open due to walking too much, and the back of my heart was stained with blood.

The eunuch had no choice but to answer the truth.

"It's so courageous," Jinxiu said thoughtfully, her eyes flickering, "If you want to stand, then stand."

Concubine Jing heard the voice and asked her, "Who?"

Jinxiu paused, "A court lady."

"From Chengqian Palace?" Concubine Jing's eyes sharpened, "Our imperial concubine is really good at sending someone here at this moment! Since she sent someone to die, how can I not allow her? Let someone come in."

Jinxiu's face froze, and she finally said, "It's the one named Sangzhi."

Concubine Jing paused, "Sang Zhi...that's—" Before she could finish her question, Jin Xiu nodded her head in understanding.

"It's a good thing that the queen still challenged me because of her," Concubine Jing sneered, "Now that the queen's life is at stake, this court lady may be successful in Chengqian Palace." Concubine Jing stood up expressionlessly, "I'd rather Look, what kind of court lady. Let her in."

Jinxiu had no choice but to agree, but stopped after taking two steps, and said softly, "Madam, I'm afraid Sangzhi was not sent by Dong E." Serving, she has never been abandoned day and night, and has never returned to the Qian Palace. Moreover, the servant girl heard that she was the one who was taken to the Kunning Palace by Dong E's last time to plead guilty, and she was beaten to pieces and passed out. It stands to reason that she is injured now. It’s definitely not good, and it’s time to recuperate. It’s not that there are no maids in the palace, and they won’t send her to work at all. Therefore, the servant suspects that although she claims to come here under orders, it is unreasonable for her to come so late and have to pass the curfew. I’m afraid, She came here by herself." She added, "Presumably she also knew that she almost died here that time, but she still dares to come here to ask for an interview - Your Majesty, this servant is worried that this is a trap."

"Trap?" Concubine Jing pondered, "Who would bother to set a trap for me. Even if it is a trap, I am not afraid of it. Let her in."

Jinxiu had no choice but to ask someone to bring mulberry branches.

Sangzhi was covered in cold sweat, as soon as she came in, she saw Jinxiu treating her coldly, and Concubine Jing sitting in the main seat leisurely.Although there were only two of them, the awe-inspiring formation made people feel pressured.

But since Sang Zhi made up his mind to come here, when he stepped into Yongshou Palace, he had already prepared for the worst, but now he calmed down.She didn't need to play tricks, she went straight to Concubine Jing and knelt down, "Slave Maid Sangzhi, see Concubine Jing." Without waiting for Concubine Jing to speak, she raised her head and said seriously, "This servant is here to ask Madam to take this servant to Kun Ning Gong."

She spoke extremely calmly and plainly, but Concubine Jing was secretly taken aback, and couldn't help exchanging glances with Jinxiu.

Jinxiu asked, "Concubine Dong E asked you to go?"

"No, I will go on my own." Sang Zhi kowtowed deeply, "The empress is kind to my servant, and now that I am in such a catastrophe, this servant has nothing to ask for, but to serve by the empress's side."

After finishing the sentence, Concubine Jing and Jinxiu fell silent.At this time, everyone wished to be as far away from Kunning Palace as possible, but someone actually wanted to go to Kunning Palace!This is really hard to understand, and even Concubine Jing couldn't help but doubt Sang Zhi's purpose, "You are from Chengqian Palace, it is the best place in the palace, what are you going to Kunning Palace for?"

Sang Zhi knew that if she didn't give a convincing reason, Concubine Jing would never help her.She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "I can't bear to let Su Le suffer alone. She is my only friend."

Jinxiu's complexion changed, and she reprimanded, "Bold! How dare you call the queen by her name!"

Sang Zhi smiled faintly, "When I knew her, she was just Su Le. To me, she was never a queen, just my only friend."

Jinxiu's expression was complicated, and she wanted to stop her, but Concubine Jing waved her hand to stop her, got up and walked to Sangzhi and asked, "Friend?" Her tone was full of sarcasm—there had never been any friends in this palace!

"Yes," Sang Zhi pretended not to hear her sharpness, "Sule treats me like a human being, there is a saying in the Han people, a scholar dies for a confidant, Su Le treats me with sincerity, and I am willing to stab her in the both sides. "

Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes, "Are you literate?"

"Just a little bit."

"How courageous!" Concubine Jing suddenly raised her voice, "All court ladies are not allowed to read and write, you dare to deceive the royal family, what crime should you deserve!"

"It's a capital crime." Sang Zhi looked into Concubine Jing's eyes, "Your Majesty, can you rest assured?" She bet that Concubine Jing was just trying to catch her and control her.After all, a person without a weakness will not be accepted by the superior, because without a weakness, it means that he cannot be controlled.

Concubine Jing looked at Sang Zhi blankly, and Sang Zhi was not afraid at all.After all, this is not a difficult task for Sangzhi.All she feared was death, but now that she had prepared for the worst, she was able to reveal her true self.

The inner hall seemed to be still.Jinxiu was dumbfounded, too frightened to breathe out.Sang Zhi dared to look directly at his master!Concubine Jing treated Jinxiu so well that Jinxiu didn't dare to look her in the eye seriously, but this mulberry branch could do that!And that aura was no less than that of Concubine Jing, for a moment Jinxiu was afraid of her.Jinxiu thought to herself, that's right, that's it!Sangzhi is like a master, the same as Concubine Jing and Queen, master!

Time seems to have passed a century.Concubine Jing asked calmly, "Who are you?"

"Lady Sang Zhi." Sang Zhi's voice was also flat.

After a long time, Concubine Jing's eyes flashed admiration, and she smiled deeply, "Okay."

Sang Zhi also smiled, "Thank you, Madam."

Concubine Jing turned around, "I can only take you to Kunning Palace to see her, but I can't take you from Chengqian Palace to Kunning Palace."

"Enough." Sang Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.Of course she knew that Concubine Jing couldn't do it, but the reason why she made this request was because she had exposed too much, so the request must match what was exposed.Only in this way can Concubine Jing feel at ease.Otherwise, based on her performance, it would be inappropriate to only ask to see the queen, and she would be suspected to a greater extent.And if she puts forward a higher request, then, as long as Concubine Jing can be convinced, Concubine Jing will compromise and propose to take her to see Kunning Palace as a compromise.

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jing suddenly stopped and turned her head to stare at her.

Sangzhi didn't know why, but she heard Concubine Jing say every word, "You dare to plot against me." Although Concubine Jing is fierce, she is by no means a fool. It's impossible for him not to know that he can't get her to Kunning Palace, so he quickly understands Sang Zhi's little trick.

Sang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, he forced himself to calm down, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise. The servant girl's tricks are just tricks, and I really have to do it as a last resort."

Concubine Jing sneered, "It's a last resort. With your scheming, you are actually a little-known little palace maid in Chengqian Palace, what a shame."

Sang Zhi heard the sarcasm in her words, and knew that Concubine Jing was a little annoyed, so she tried her best to be tactful, "My heart is not in Chengqian Palace, so naturally I have nothing to do in Chengqian Palace." Xi, I only want to stay in Kunning Palace."

"When Concubine Dong E becomes queen, you will stay in Kunning Palace." Concubine Jing said in a cool tone.

Sang Zhi smiled, "Then I should say this, I only want to stay with my bosom friend." The bosom friend she was talking about was naturally Su Le.

Concubine Jing looked at her unfathomably, but said nothing, "Change into the clothes of Yongshou Palace, and I will take you there personally."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Sang Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed her words.Jinxiu didn't speak until she saw that the clothes she had taken off were almost stained with blood from the wound, and then she exclaimed.Sang Zhi was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he didn't want to say more, so he quickly changed into the palace maid's costume of Yongshou Palace, and followed Concubine Jing.

Jinxiu listened to what Concubine Jing said, and Concubine Jing took another deep look at her.Sangzhi guessed that it was about her injury.But she doesn't care, she has shown too much tonight, it doesn't matter what Concubine Jing thinks of her.She just wanted to see Su Le soon.

Longfu Gate is about to close the palace gate.Concubine Jing stepped forward to speak, the gatekeeper eunuch knew that Concubine Jing was not easy to mess with, so he didn't dare to make things difficult at all, and let her in directly.Now Kunning Palace only put the queen under house arrest, and did not say that no one else is allowed to visit.

Sang Zhi followed closely behind Concubine Jing, Cai Wanyun hurriedly came over to greet her when she saw the visitor, "My maidservant greets the empress."

"There's no need to be too polite," Concubine Jing asked, "Is the queen well?"

Cai Wanyun shook her head, "It's not good. The empress stays in the inner hall by herself, and drives away all the palace people, and no one is allowed to enter."

Sang Zhi's heart tightened when he heard that.

Concubine Jing frowned, "What about the meal?"

"It's really delicious," Cai Wanyun said, "Your Majesty just stayed in the inner hall by herself, other than that, there is nothing unusual about it."

Concubine Jing was silent for a while, "I'll go and have a look."

"Yes."

Sangzhi lowered her head, afraid that Cai Wanyun would see her.Cai Wanyun didn't pay attention either, she had great trust in Concubine Jing, so she didn't have much doubts about the people brought by Concubine Jing.

When she was brought to the screen in the inner hall, Cai Wanyun paused, "Your Majesty, it's better for you to go in alone. Otherwise..."

Concubine Jing glanced at Sang Zhi, the corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly, "It's okay, I'm not used to having no one around me."

Cai Wanyun was not easy to refute.Concubine Jing said, "Don't worry, the queen won't blame you."

"What are you talking about, ma'am," Cai Wanyun said, "please—"

Sang Zhi let out a sigh of relief, fortunately Concubine Jing is a trustworthy one.She went in behind Concubine Jing, and from a distance she saw Su Le sitting alone by the window, looking up as if looking at something.The girl turned her back to their figures, alone, which made Sang Zhi feel distressed, and mixed with uncontrollable sadness.

"I told you not to come in." Su Le's voice was flat, but Concubine Jing still stepped forward, "You kicked everyone out, what are you doing?"

Su Le paused, but didn't look back, "Auntie, you're here."

"Hmm. What are you doing?" Concubine Jing stood behind her.

"Look at the moon." Su Le raised his head and said softly, "Auntie, tell me, is the moon here the same as on the grassland?"

Concubine Jing said, "The moons under the sky are all the same."

Su Le was silent for a while, "Can I fly to the moon?"

"How can a person fly to the moon?" Concubine Jing said, amused and distressed, softly, "Sule, don't think about it." When she lowered her head and saw the pony doll in Su Le's hand, Concubine Jing wondered, "Where are you?" Come something so ugly?"

Su Le didn't answer, but held her hand even tighter.

"..." Sang Zhi finally couldn't hold back, "It's not that ugly, is it?"

Su Le froze, turned her head in disbelief, and saw Sang Zhi smiling pitifully at each other, "Su Le." Su Le stared at her blankly.

Concubine Jing swept over them with a frown, "Did you send that ugly thing?" She asked Sang Zhi.

But Su Le seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and suddenly got up and pulled Sangzhi over, "Auntie!" His tone was anxious and startled.

Concubine Jing didn't understand why she was so nervous all of a sudden, but soon after she figured it out, she raised her forehead and said, "If I wanted to kill her, would I bring her in front of you to kill her?"

Sang Zhi also finally understood what Su Le meant, and was moved and distressed for a while.She quietly took Su Le's hand, "I begged Concubine Jing to bring me here."

Su Le pursed her lips and remained silent, still looking at Concubine Jing vigilantly.

Concubine Jing had no choice but to say, "Don't delay too long, it's not easy to walk around after the curfew is closed." She went straight to the door, sent Cai Wanyun to make supper for her, and leaned against the door to watch the moon.The weather at the end of winter is still chilling.Concubine Jing asked for the stove again, put on an extra layer of thick animal skin warm clothes, and sighed secretly, "Childish, seeing my playmates even dislike my aunt." In such a situation, the arc of Concubine Jing's lips froze, and her eyes lowered.The coldest place in the harem, excluding the Lenggong, is probably the Kunning Palace.I'm afraid it will be even colder in the days to come.Concubine Jing tightened her warm clothes and hugged the stove tightly, but she still felt unstoppable cold
