Twilight GL
Chapter 40
Ming Su came out of the palace, didn't even sit in the car, and directly grabbed a horse from the guards, rode on and galloped towards the mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the family order was already waiting. Mingsu got off his horse, stepped on the ground, almost fell down, but luckily she tightened the reins.
Jialing hurriedly came forward to help her, Mingsu waved his hands, stared at him, and asked, "Where is the person?"
"The man left as soon as he presented the pendant. In order not to scare the snake away, the minister ordered his men to follow, and he couldn't lose it!" Jia Ling replied.
Ming Su nodded, that's fine, if you don't ask for anything when you come to offer treasures, you must be someone with ulterior motives, let's see who ordered it.
There are a few people in the mansion who are scouts she transferred from the army, and their tracking skills are top-notch, just as the family order said, as long as they follow, Duan can't be lost.
She rushed back anxiously, after saying these few words, she looked back, only to realize that the few attendants she had brought with her just now and a dozen or so guards had also caught up, standing behind her, looking at her worriedly.
Mingsu felt a little dry mouth, she swallowed dryly, thinking that she just entered the palace to meet His Majesty for the matter of Gu Ruchuan.
It might take a while for the scouts to report back, so Ming Su ordered: "People from the Xunli Department, Yushitai, and the Ministry of War come to discuss matters."
The people under him are divided into two groups, one is on the bright side, and the other is secretly serving like the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The former is the one who is summoned to discuss matters on weekdays. Some things are done.
This is a habit. She has been busy for a while, and she always has no free time.At this time, my mind was empty, as if I couldn't think about anything, so I ordered according to my habit.
Jia Ling immediately said: "Yes..."
Just as he was about to send people to send messages to various government offices, Ming Su suddenly said, "No, later, I'll wait."
She was in a state of panic, not knowing what to do, after a while, Xuan Guo and Jia Ling looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.Xuan Guo stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, let's enter the residence first."
Mingsu seemed to have lost her soul, nodded, walked in, took two steps, she stopped suddenly, picked up the little Pixiu in her palm and looked at it for a while, her expression suddenly changed: "No..."
"Is she really standing outside the mansion gate in a daze?" the fifth prince asked while restraining his excitement.
Kneeling in front of him was a doorman dressed in ordinary clothes, who replied: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. His Highness Xin Guo stood outside the mansion for a long time, giving orders every now and then.
After a while, he took it back, lost his mind, and after a while, the people below reminded him, and then he entered the mansion. "
The fifth prince laughed loudly: "Okay..." He turned to look at the person sitting next to him, "I didn't expect what you said to be true."
Cheng Chisheng stood up and cupped his hands reservedly.
The fifth prince was still excited, turned around and sat back on his seat, picked up the tea and wanted to drink it, the cup touched his lips, put it back on the table, patted the table, and said: "I thought she really hated her for her behavior in the past. As for Mrs. Zheng, it turned out to be a fake. Seeing her domineering and domineering, she is so ridiculous!"
Cheng Chisheng also sat back, looked at the fifth prince, turned sideways, lowered his voice, and said: "There is something even more ridiculous, that Mrs. Zheng died five years ago."
The fifth prince was stunned and couldn't breathe from laughing. Cheng Chisheng didn't make a sound. After he finished laughing, he said: "Only His Majesty, the minister and a few confidants know about this matter. As for who the other end is with, the minister doesn't know." .”
"I thought His Majesty doted on her so much, but it turned out to be a lie." No wonder the concubine mother reminded her that believing in the country would not be a disaster.
The more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, and he couldn't hide his smile, "Thinking about the past five years, pretending to be so good, in fact, looking everywhere in the north and south, and falling into the eyes of His Majesty, I'm afraid it's like playing with a dog, it's ridiculous. That's it. Now it's all right, when she finds out that she's already dead, she might really go crazy."
It's rare for him to relieve his anger like this, and he talked endlessly: "Fortunately, you did it five years ago. If it's a year or two late, and you want to solve Zheng's silently, I'm afraid it will be very rare."
"It can't be kept secret for too long, it will be exposed sooner or later, I ask Your Highness to protect you." Cheng Chisheng took advantage of the situation and knelt down.
The fifth prince waved his hand: "It's okay to have an orphan to protect you."
Cheng Chisheng was extremely grateful, thinking that this would be all right.
Naduan Mingsu stood in the courtyard, looked at the little Pixiu in his hand, and shook his head.
Seeing that she was not leaving, the people behind did not dare to make a sound, and waited quietly for her to show off.
In the past, all the objects she acquired were imprinted with the name of Zheng Fu or A Mi.
Therefore, the person who made the offering could recognize that it was A Mi's object, and then donated it to the mansion.
But this little Pixiu belongs to her, and there is no imprint on it, how does the person who donated it know that it is Zheng Mi's?
Mingsu suddenly had many conjectures.
The sky was dark, and it hadn't cleared up for many days, and I didn't know when it would be clear again.
She closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to think deeply, the little Pixiu was clutched in her palm, opened her eyes, and she still asked: "Who has Cheng Chisheng been in contact with these few days?"
There is a special person to watch this matter, if there is no urgent matter, the news will be sent back once a day, and it will be submitted to Xuan Guo, and he will pass it on.I have been busy with the matter of entering Sichuan for a while, so I won't have time to ask in the future.
Hearing her question at this time, Xuan Guo immediately took out several sealed letters from his sleeve and presented them.
All undismantled.Mingsu took it, opened it to look, and frowned more and more.
Cheng Chisheng had frequent contacts with the people in the fifth prince's house.It's not surprising, if he wants to stay in Beijing, he has to find an asylum.
Mingsu suddenly had an idea in his mind, after all these years, it was easier to kill Cheng Chisheng than to trample an ant, but why she didn't do it so long.Is it really because he is just a running dog, it is useless to care about him?
Or she didn't dare to...
Mingsu hurriedly stopped thinking, tightened her hand holding the secret letter, and the paper was all crumpled into a ball. She asked seriously, "Have the people who went to Jiangnan to inquire come back?"
Xuan Guo replied: "It's only been two days." This time, there were more than a hundred trusted aides who were sent to Jiangnan to look for them, and each of them had a handwritten letter from His Highness in their hands. The government helps.
There are several such searches every year, but there is no news.
I haven't come back yet, which means that this time, it is possible to find it.Ming Su settled down, and then asked: "Is there any good news from the north?"
Xuan Guo said again: "Every gate is guarded all the time, the general who guards the gate has also ordered, as long as you pass through the gate, it is absolutely impossible to be silent."
That said, no news yet.A word popped up in Ming Su's mind, no news is good news.
Her staff is so densely arranged, if there is anything abnormal, it will never escape her eyes and ears.
Thinking of this, Ming Su felt a little relieved.She looked down at the little Pixiu, and hurriedly hung it up for herself, and stuffed it into the neckline. The jade was cold, touching her skin, making people shiver.
But Mingsu stuck it to his heart, thinking silently in his heart that he must be safe and sound.
After a pause, her eyes were slightly red, she timidly backed down, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come back, I will never see you and I will not blame you, as long as you are safe and sound."
When the scouts came back, when it was almost time, he hurried in, and said in front of His Highness Xin Guo: "That man has served in the army, he knows how to hide his whereabouts, and the humble officer chased him all the way, he entered a farm first, After it got dark, he walked around half of the city, and finally sneaked into the Third Prince's Mansion through the back door.
It hasn't come out yet.There are people watching everywhere outside the Third Prince's Mansion. "
Alright, the third prince and the fifth prince are all involved.Mingsu nodded, and said expressionlessly: "If he comes out tomorrow, I will take him down. If he doesn't come out, I will go to the mansion to ask for it."
Xuan Guo was startled: "Your Highness, this will definitely make the Third Prince dissatisfied. The situation is now very anxious, and the Third Prince is not willing to back down.
If troubles arise at this time, His Highness the Third Prince will fight with His Highness to the end for the sake of face. If so, General Gu will be in danger. "
As soon as Gu Ruchuan entered Beijing, he was placed under house arrest in the mansion. If he could not escape the crime, he would be sent to prison.
Mingsu closed his eyes.
"Perhaps this Pixiu was sent to His Highness on purpose by His Highness the Third Prince, to mess with His Highness, we searched so closely everywhere.
If even His Highness can't find Miss Zheng, neither can the Third Prince. If that person is captured, all officials will think His Highness is arrogant and the Third Prince will be dissatisfied. "Xuan Guo persuaded blindly.
Ming Su opened his eyes, and murmured: "I have been arguing with Ming Yin for almost half a month, why is there no sound from Ming Chen, when did he become so quiet, he can't help not getting involved."
Xuan Guo was taken aback.
"Tomorrow fifteenth, I'm going to the palace." Ming Su said.
There is a morning province in the fifteenth palace, but Mingsu is not going to greet the queen, she is going to see the third prince.
The third prince Ming Yin is rough, but extremely filial. Every time after the morning inspection, he will go to the Palace of Concubine De, to talk and walk with his mother and concubine.
For more than ten years, rain or shine.
Ming Su didn't interrupt him to see Concubine De, but waited outside De Concubine's palace, and when he came out, Fang stepped forward and said: "Brother Sanhuang, my sister has something to tell you."
This time the third prince stayed in the Concubine De's Palace for a long time, it was past noon when he came out, Ming Su didn't know how long he had been waiting.
The third prince is reckless, but he is not completely brainless. They are so tense at the moment, and Ming Su can still be here, which shows that the matter is important.
The two of them pretended to smile, and when they went to the Zhenguan Hall together, Zheng Mi brought a few palace people to the northwest corner of the palace.
The northwest corner of the imperial palace is the most remote place in the entire palace. I don't know when, the concubines who committed crimes in the palace moved here.Over time, this place has become a cold palace.
The cold palace is dilapidated, with cobwebs everywhere, and several windows are broken, and the window paper is whizzing.
Zheng Mi stepped on the steps, there was thick snow on the steps, no one cleaned them, Yun Sang pushed open the door of the hall, stepped inside, the hall was dim, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves and dust.
"It's just behind." Yun Sang said softly.
Zheng Mi nodded her head, signaled the other two palace servants to wait outside, and led Yun Sang inside.
This cold palace is occupied by a concubine who was moved here two years ago. It is said that she was once favored by the emperor, but she was disgusted by the emperor because of her cruelty to the emperor's heir, and she was deposed as a commoner.
However, there have always been rumors in the palace that this concubine was wronged, and the person who wronged her was Concubine Xian.
When Zheng Mi came here today, she was not looking for her, but another person, but she took advantage of the situation and became her cover. What she said to the outside world was to visit this concubine and ask about the past.
Everyone knew that she and Concubine Xian were at odds, so it was reasonable to come here to dig out Concubine Xian.
Zheng Mi held Yun Sang's hand and walked inside, and walked to the apse, where a woman with disheveled hair was huddled on the bed in the apse, wrapped in a quilt. Eyes on them.
Already crazy.
Zheng Mi looked at her for a while, but didn't stop, and walked through the door of the apse to the backyard.
There is also a hut in the backyard. In the hut sits an old man dressed in blue eunuch uniform. The man has several scars on his face, one of which goes straight through his right eye, and he looks extremely ghastly.
He raised his eyes, glanced at the person who came, saw the uniform on the person, and stood up from the chair: "Empress Empress..."
He muttered in his mouth, staring straight at Zheng Mi's face, after a while, he seemed to see who she was, sat back and said extremely disrespectfully: "When did the palace change a queen?"
Yun Sang shouted: "Bold!"
Zheng Mi raised his hand, took a step forward, and said: "This place is remote, there is no news, and the nobles don't know. This summer, His Majesty has a new wife, and there is a queen in the palace."
Zhongguiren is a respectful title for the eunuchs who are used by the empress. Su Du had not heard this title for a long time.
"Your Majesty is trying so hard to find the young one, what can I order?" Su Du was still sitting, looking up at the Empress without any respect.
The Queen raised her hand, Yun Sang understood, saluted respectfully, and retreated.
There are only two people left here.The queen stepped forward and sat down on a chair next to it, not disliking the filth here.
Su Du seemed to find it interesting: "We've come to this point, I didn't expect that the battle in the palace is still going on, and someone wants to find my old bone."
"I want to know what happened five years ago and why His Majesty wanted to kill the Zheng family." Zheng Mi said straight.
Since she uttered these words, Su Du's expression darkened, and his already ferocious face became even more terrifying. After she finished speaking, Su Du stood up and cupped his hands respectfully: "Major, can you give the little one?" What?"
Zheng Mi asked back, "What do you want?"
"Live dignifiedly." Su Du replied.
Zheng Mi nodded: "Okay..."
Su Du also had no power to resist. He hid for five years, his appearance completely ruined, shrunk in the cold palace, and survived on leftovers. His life was worse than that of a waste concubine in the cold palace. Su Du even thought that he would linger here until he died.
Now that the queen is here and asked him about the events five years ago, Su must seize this opportunity.
"How will you let me out, my lord?"
Zheng Mi only said four words: "His Royal Highness Xin Guo."
Su Du's eyes lit up, as if he saw the crimson flames in the icy world, and asked anxiously, "Your Highness is still there? Is Your Highness okay?"
"She's good..."
Su Du no longer hesitated, if there is anyone in this world who misses the Zheng family, the Grand Tutor and the former Empress, it must be His Highness Xin Guo.He showed the color of memory, thought for a while, and seemed to consider where to start.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Teacher Zheng, Ming Hong, the first Sanyuan Jidi in this dynasty. He was only 16 years old when he won the first prize. He is a child prodigy recognized by the court."
The story is very long, dating back to when the first emperor was still a prince.
Zheng Hong won the number one scholar and stepped into his official career. The first official he served was to be a fourth-rank minister, and what he had to do every day was to give lectures to the prince.
But the crown prince is four years older than him, and he has already reached the crown. He listened to the young man's lecture, and naturally he was not convinced. .
After several confrontations, the prince discovered that the young champion was handsome and talented, and his mind was even more flexible, so he was a good talent.
But Zheng Hong discovered that the crown prince seemed to be extremely noble, he was the crown prince under one man and above ten thousand, but he was actually not liked by the emperor, and there were brothers watching over him.
The two understood each other's difficulties, and got along with each other day by day, and there was a feeling of sympathy between the monarch and his ministers.
Zheng Hong wholeheartedly helped the prince, and the two fought for 19 years, pushing down those ambitious brothers one by one, until the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne.
At that time, Zheng Hong also fulfilled the official order of Zhongshu. After the emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to worship Zheng Hong as his tutor, and handed over his only son to him to teach him.
Afterwards, whatever Zheng Hong did, the emperor believed in him, and even said personally that the words and deeds of the Taifu are my words and deeds, and you cannot violate them.
The Taifu is also wholeheartedly for the people and loyal to the country.
There is no gap between the monarch and his ministers, and they are all diligent in government affairs. In just a few years, the politics of the world are clear, the sea is clear, the rivers are clear, the folk roads are not picked up, and there are countless honest and good officials in the court. It is really a scene of prosperity.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Six years later, the emperor became seriously ill and only the nine-year-old prince was left behind.
Before he died, he called the prince and Taifu to the sickbed, and in front of all the ministers, asked the prince to serve the Taifu as he served him, and ordered that all matters in the court should be decided by the Taifu until the new king took charge.
What the emperor said in person in front of all his ministers was more forgiving than a will.Tai Tu naturally agreed with tears.
After the emperor passed away, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and this is the present day.
The Taifu was still the same as in the past, while handling government affairs, he took time out to teach the little emperor to read.
The little emperor was very smart, and respected the Taifu even more. He even fell in love with the Taifu's only daughter. When he was 15 years old, he asked the Taifu to marry him.
Taifu agreed, and the two got married soon.
When the emperor was 16 years old, the Taifu returned to power.Since then, the emperor has personally handled government affairs.
"But people will get used to it. After all, the emperor is immature, his methods are also young, and he often makes mistakes when handling government affairs. The ministers are used to listening to the orders of the Taifu, and the Taifu has controlled the government for more than ten years. Most of them are his disciples and his old officials, the empress said, in this case.
If your Majesty clashes with the Taifu, will the ministers listen to the Emperor or the Taifu? " Su Du asked.
Zheng Mi didn't answer.
Su Du went on to say: "The young one was originally serving the late emperor. After His Majesty was born, he went to the East Palace to serve him. I watched the whole journey with my own eyes, but even I didn't realize that His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Tai Tuo for a long time.
Your Majesty can bear it.When Zhao Liang entered the palace, he was a lowly servant and was often bullied. Once, he was beaten by several eunuchs, and was seen by Miss Zheng. Miss Zheng took pity on him, called him to her, and asked him What is his name, where does he work, how did he enter the palace at such a young age. "
Zheng Mi lowered her eyes, she knew about this matter, the palace servants next to her aunt had inadvertently mentioned it.
"At that time, His Majesty happened to be by his side, and Miss Zheng's family moved her heart, so she begged His Majesty to change his job.
His Majesty directly transferred the man to his side as a servant.I didn't think so at the time, but now that I think about it, His Majesty probably regarded Zhao Liang as the Taifu's eyeliner and asked him to stay by his side..."
Su Du carefully recalled and analyzed, "Then give him benefits, bribe him, and turn him into his own. That's why Zhao Liang escaped unharmed five years ago, and he is still trusted until now."
In these years, Su has analyzed it countless times, and the words were a bit messy, and after talking about Zhao Liang, he said back to the emperor: "When your majesty was young, the Tai Tuo treated him very harshly, he couldn't recite the essays, and often punished him to copy.
Later, when His Majesty was in his teens, the Taifu became much gentler, and he was even more respectful when teaching.
But once His Majesty has made mistakes, he is still outspoken and begs His Majesty to change his ways. "
"I remember that around the year of Your Majesty, Uncle Guo fell in love with a peasant woman, and taking advantage of his status and power, he ordered someone to beat her husband to death in front of the peasant woman, and smashed her infant son to death. Another fire burned down her home.
Then she was forced into the mansion. The woman endured it for several months, found an opportunity to escape from the mansion, and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion to complain. In court.
The matter caused an uproar, and the ministers did not dare to deal with it, so they brought it to the Taifu's desk.
The Taifu ordered people to check the facts and confirmed that what the women said was true, so he sent Uncle Guo to prison and sentenced him to death. "
Su Du was very impressed by this matter, and said in detail: "At that time, His Majesty had been in power for two years, but the power was still in the hands of the Taifu. He had a deep relationship with the uncle, and the Empress Dowager held His Majesty's hand before she died. He asked him to promise to take care of the country's uncle for a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, he agreed, and the queen mother closed her eyes.
So when he heard about this matter, he was so anxious that he hurriedly asked the Tai Tuo to come here, and begged the Tai Tuo to let his uncle out of the country.
The younger one was in the palace at that time, but the Tai Tuo refused, saying that Uncle Guo is cruel, vicious, and has no sense of reverence, if he indulges him today, someone will surely fall into his hands and be harmed by him in the future.His Majesty commuted the sentence to exile and refused to let him return to Beijing. "
"Your Majesty has done a lot of things in the past two years, and the Taifu has returned to power, and he has never overstepped in normal times.
Therefore, although His Majesty was in a hurry at that time, he was fully sure that the Tai Tuo would give in.
But the Taifu has been an official for most of his life, so he doesn't know the tricks, and today he is reassigned to exile, and the uncle of the country will be even more unscrupulous when he arrives in the exile. After a few years, looking for a reason to amnesty the world, the uncle of the country came back.
To whom should the injustice of the unjustly dead be recovered?The Tai Tuo refused.Your Majesty was in a hurry, so he quarreled with the Tai Tuo. The Tai Tuo still refused to give in, and insisted on beheading the uncle of the country. His Majesty could not quarrel. On the second day, he personally wrote the imperial edict, stamped it with the jade seal, and ordered the uncle to be pardoned. For the crime, the sentence was changed to exile.However, the edict was issued from the palace, and no one followed it along the way. "
Zheng Mi could imagine how terrified the emperor was at that time. He thought that after taking office, he had already established a firm foothold in the court, and he was honored as the emperor.
Even if he can't compete with the Tai Tu, at least he can let everyone see his determination, so he will be merciful.
As a result, the imperial edict written by himself was promulgated, but no one obeyed it, no one in civil and military affairs in the court helped him, and no one obeyed the orders of all the people in the world.
I'm afraid that since that day, he has been unable to sleep peacefully, feeling that the Zheng family's eyes and ears are everywhere.
The emperor began to endure, and endured for more than ten years, even if he had cronies, even if the Taifu gradually stopped intervening in court affairs, he still remembered the shadow of the past, fearing that the edict would be a situation where no one would obey it, and kept forbearing until the Taifu Fu passed away, and only then did he vent his grievances.
"The people in Zichen Palace have all seen His Majesty being obsequious to the Grand Tutor. As soon as he sees us, he will think of the misfortune of that day, so he will not let us go." There was a cold look on the corner of Su Du's lips.
Zheng Mi didn't expect it to be like this, she asked again: "Did no one warn the police when the incident happened?"
Su Du said: "It's too fast, as soon as I found out, I immediately informed the empress in the Hall of Renming, and the empress immediately wrote two letters, one was sent back to Zheng's residence and the other was sent to Concubine Shu.
But the former was intercepted before leaving the palace, and the latter was brought out by me. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to hand it to Concubine Shu.
It wasn't until His Majesty ordered the empress to be placed under house arrest that I feared that there might be something important in the letter, so I tried my best to deliver it to Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu and Empress Dowager have always been at odds with each other, and they don't even see each other once a year.
But since the Zheng family had an accident, Concubine Shu has been interceding for the Zheng family, knelt outside the Zichen Hall for a whole day, and even handed letters out of the palace to try to contact the Chu family for help.
It's a pity that the palace gate was strictly guarded at that time, and none of the letters written by Concubine Shu were sent out.
When she saw the handwritten letter given to her by the Empress Empress, she suddenly became quiet and shut the door and didn't hear anything outside the window. "
Su Du has been puzzled by this matter for many years, so he always remembers it.However, there were many concubines who interceded for the queen at that time, and Concubine Shu was not implicated and was preserved.
"For more than a month, the wind was raging, and the news was completely blocked inside and outside the palace. The Zheng family was overthrown in an instant, and people began to die in the palace at the same time. I finally escaped and hid in this cold palace. It's worse than death, and I don't know why. But I just can't bear this life."
After Zheng Mi heard the old news, when she came out, it was almost dark, and it was snowing heavily outside, and the snow on the ground soon thickened a little, since winter, she had never seen such a heavy snow.
She stepped on the snow, walking with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Yun Sang followed behind, occasionally meeting palace people on the road, Zheng Mi didn't even dare to show her sadness.
But I don't know if his face was numb from the wind, or what, but he couldn't feel a trace of coldness.
She was full of what Su Du had just said.It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this.
When she returned to Renming Hall, her clothes were all wet, Yun Sang hurriedly asked people to prepare water, and ordered ginger tea to be boiled.
Zheng Mi was in a daze, and after taking a bath, he wanted to stay alone for a while, but someone came outside to report that His Majesty had come down.
The emperor didn't come for several months, but when he came suddenly, the palace people were in a hurry, preparing to pick him up.
Zheng Mi's heart was full of hatred, and she wanted to ask the emperor, where could the Tai Tuo be wronged to the country, where could he be wronged to the court, and where could he be wronged to the royal family. Returned to power at the age of 16, did he pay back, the uncle broke the law, should he die?
But the bright yellow figure came out from the darkness, and when he got under the main hall, Zheng Mi suddenly woke up, it was not yet time.
She clenched her fists tightly, the palms of her hands were painfully carved by the nails, but her face softened, and she lowered her body gracefully. Every time she lowered her body, Zheng Mi's heart felt as if a knife had been slashed, as if she saw her grandmother hanged to death. In the hall, I saw my grandfather's bones unearthed from the tomb, and was thrown into the market to be trampled by people. I saw my father's uncle beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.
"The concubine has met His Majesty." She said.
The emperor walked up to her and took her into his arms.Zheng Mi's whole body was stiff, and she was so sick that she almost vomited out.
"Why so stiff? Cold?" the emperor looked at her and said.
Zheng Mi lowered her eyes: "The concubine is nervous."
The emperor laughed twice, but held her tighter, looking at her face: "The queen has been neglected, but I'm here?" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and ordered the palace servants to retreat.
Zheng Mi said, "Wait a minute..."
The emperor looked at her with a smile, and touched Zheng Mi's waist all the way. Zheng Mi looked up at him with a gentle smile: "The concubine has a heart here, and I specially tuned it in? I taught it to be dedicated to His Majesty. If I don't want His Majesty, I will come here." .Your Majesty, would you like to see the wishes of my concubine?"
After that, he raised his hand and hooked the emperor's belt.
The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, let me see what's on my mind."
Zheng Mi looked at Yun Sang, Yun Sang bowed and retreated.
The palace people understood, and each prepared silk, bamboo and wind music, and presented delicacies and wines.A beautiful woman came out from behind the curtain with a sweet smile and moving dance steps.
The emperor smiled and sat down with his arms around the queen.Zheng Mi looked ahead, wondering why the emperor came suddenly, and thinking about how to get out.
The beauty is indeed beautiful, she was found by Zheng Mi on her own in the palace, her figure is enchanting, but her face is as clear as a lotus emerging from water, which makes people feel pity.
He has seen too much beauty, although this kind of appearance is already superior, but as long as he is in the palace, there is no need to rush to enjoy it, sooner or later it will be his.He remembered that he came today to find the queen.
"There is no rush to watch the song and dance two days late, but I have been waiting for a long time for the wedding night with the empress." The emperor laughed.
In the Zhenguan Palace, Ming Su hadn't left the palace yet, she finished her conversation with the third prince, and the wind and snow blew up, blocking her way out of the palace. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to rest in the palace for the night.
Just about to sleep, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.
When I opened it, it was the female officer next to the queen.Mingsu still decided not to see the queen anymore, not to mention that she was so concerned about Zheng Mi, and was about to order someone to persuade her to leave, when the female officer said urgently: "Your Majesty suddenly came to the Hall of Renming, it's so late..."
Mingsu interrupted her: "Isn't it a good thing that His Majesty came to the Hall of Renming?"
Yun Sang came here on his own initiative, anxious and flustered, listening to the princess' wishes, he was unwilling to help, and hurriedly said: "But..."
"Auntie, go back." Mingsu said, waved his hands, and immediately a eunuch came and pushed Yun Sang out.
The gate of the palace was closed.Shut people out.
Mingsu turned and went back to the hall, the water on the stove was boiling.She walked over, picked up the kettle, and made a cup of strong tea.
She made up her mind, never seeing the empress again, not to mention the harmony between the empress and the empress is a matter of course, so what does it have to do with her?
Boiling water was poured into the pot, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, but Ming Su was not only relaxed and happy, but a little irritable.
She waited for a while, lifted the pot, and poured down a cup of tea.
"I don't want to sleep with you." The queen's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Mingsu picked up the teacup and watched the tea color.
"I don't know how to serve the bed." The queen insisted.
Ming Su thought indifferently, it has nothing to do with me, I only want A Mi, I can't be sorry for A Mi.She lowered her head and smelled the tea.
Xuan Guo came in and was about to speak when His Highness suddenly stood up, put the teacup in his hand on the table, walked out quickly, and broke into the wind and snow.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the family order was already waiting. Mingsu got off his horse, stepped on the ground, almost fell down, but luckily she tightened the reins.
Jialing hurriedly came forward to help her, Mingsu waved his hands, stared at him, and asked, "Where is the person?"
"The man left as soon as he presented the pendant. In order not to scare the snake away, the minister ordered his men to follow, and he couldn't lose it!" Jia Ling replied.
Ming Su nodded, that's fine, if you don't ask for anything when you come to offer treasures, you must be someone with ulterior motives, let's see who ordered it.
There are a few people in the mansion who are scouts she transferred from the army, and their tracking skills are top-notch, just as the family order said, as long as they follow, Duan can't be lost.
She rushed back anxiously, after saying these few words, she looked back, only to realize that the few attendants she had brought with her just now and a dozen or so guards had also caught up, standing behind her, looking at her worriedly.
Mingsu felt a little dry mouth, she swallowed dryly, thinking that she just entered the palace to meet His Majesty for the matter of Gu Ruchuan.
It might take a while for the scouts to report back, so Ming Su ordered: "People from the Xunli Department, Yushitai, and the Ministry of War come to discuss matters."
The people under him are divided into two groups, one is on the bright side, and the other is secretly serving like the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The former is the one who is summoned to discuss matters on weekdays. Some things are done.
This is a habit. She has been busy for a while, and she always has no free time.At this time, my mind was empty, as if I couldn't think about anything, so I ordered according to my habit.
Jia Ling immediately said: "Yes..."
Just as he was about to send people to send messages to various government offices, Ming Su suddenly said, "No, later, I'll wait."
She was in a state of panic, not knowing what to do, after a while, Xuan Guo and Jia Ling looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.Xuan Guo stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Highness, let's enter the residence first."
Mingsu seemed to have lost her soul, nodded, walked in, took two steps, she stopped suddenly, picked up the little Pixiu in her palm and looked at it for a while, her expression suddenly changed: "No..."
"Is she really standing outside the mansion gate in a daze?" the fifth prince asked while restraining his excitement.
Kneeling in front of him was a doorman dressed in ordinary clothes, who replied: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. His Highness Xin Guo stood outside the mansion for a long time, giving orders every now and then.
After a while, he took it back, lost his mind, and after a while, the people below reminded him, and then he entered the mansion. "
The fifth prince laughed loudly: "Okay..." He turned to look at the person sitting next to him, "I didn't expect what you said to be true."
Cheng Chisheng stood up and cupped his hands reservedly.
The fifth prince was still excited, turned around and sat back on his seat, picked up the tea and wanted to drink it, the cup touched his lips, put it back on the table, patted the table, and said: "I thought she really hated her for her behavior in the past. As for Mrs. Zheng, it turned out to be a fake. Seeing her domineering and domineering, she is so ridiculous!"
Cheng Chisheng also sat back, looked at the fifth prince, turned sideways, lowered his voice, and said: "There is something even more ridiculous, that Mrs. Zheng died five years ago."
The fifth prince was stunned and couldn't breathe from laughing. Cheng Chisheng didn't make a sound. After he finished laughing, he said: "Only His Majesty, the minister and a few confidants know about this matter. As for who the other end is with, the minister doesn't know." .”
"I thought His Majesty doted on her so much, but it turned out to be a lie." No wonder the concubine mother reminded her that believing in the country would not be a disaster.
The more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, and he couldn't hide his smile, "Thinking about the past five years, pretending to be so good, in fact, looking everywhere in the north and south, and falling into the eyes of His Majesty, I'm afraid it's like playing with a dog, it's ridiculous. That's it. Now it's all right, when she finds out that she's already dead, she might really go crazy."
It's rare for him to relieve his anger like this, and he talked endlessly: "Fortunately, you did it five years ago. If it's a year or two late, and you want to solve Zheng's silently, I'm afraid it will be very rare."
"It can't be kept secret for too long, it will be exposed sooner or later, I ask Your Highness to protect you." Cheng Chisheng took advantage of the situation and knelt down.
The fifth prince waved his hand: "It's okay to have an orphan to protect you."
Cheng Chisheng was extremely grateful, thinking that this would be all right.
Naduan Mingsu stood in the courtyard, looked at the little Pixiu in his hand, and shook his head.
Seeing that she was not leaving, the people behind did not dare to make a sound, and waited quietly for her to show off.
In the past, all the objects she acquired were imprinted with the name of Zheng Fu or A Mi.
Therefore, the person who made the offering could recognize that it was A Mi's object, and then donated it to the mansion.
But this little Pixiu belongs to her, and there is no imprint on it, how does the person who donated it know that it is Zheng Mi's?
Mingsu suddenly had many conjectures.
The sky was dark, and it hadn't cleared up for many days, and I didn't know when it would be clear again.
She closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to think deeply, the little Pixiu was clutched in her palm, opened her eyes, and she still asked: "Who has Cheng Chisheng been in contact with these few days?"
There is a special person to watch this matter, if there is no urgent matter, the news will be sent back once a day, and it will be submitted to Xuan Guo, and he will pass it on.I have been busy with the matter of entering Sichuan for a while, so I won't have time to ask in the future.
Hearing her question at this time, Xuan Guo immediately took out several sealed letters from his sleeve and presented them.
All undismantled.Mingsu took it, opened it to look, and frowned more and more.
Cheng Chisheng had frequent contacts with the people in the fifth prince's house.It's not surprising, if he wants to stay in Beijing, he has to find an asylum.
Mingsu suddenly had an idea in his mind, after all these years, it was easier to kill Cheng Chisheng than to trample an ant, but why she didn't do it so long.Is it really because he is just a running dog, it is useless to care about him?
Or she didn't dare to...
Mingsu hurriedly stopped thinking, tightened her hand holding the secret letter, and the paper was all crumpled into a ball. She asked seriously, "Have the people who went to Jiangnan to inquire come back?"
Xuan Guo replied: "It's only been two days." This time, there were more than a hundred trusted aides who were sent to Jiangnan to look for them, and each of them had a handwritten letter from His Highness in their hands. The government helps.
There are several such searches every year, but there is no news.
I haven't come back yet, which means that this time, it is possible to find it.Ming Su settled down, and then asked: "Is there any good news from the north?"
Xuan Guo said again: "Every gate is guarded all the time, the general who guards the gate has also ordered, as long as you pass through the gate, it is absolutely impossible to be silent."
That said, no news yet.A word popped up in Ming Su's mind, no news is good news.
Her staff is so densely arranged, if there is anything abnormal, it will never escape her eyes and ears.
Thinking of this, Ming Su felt a little relieved.She looked down at the little Pixiu, and hurriedly hung it up for herself, and stuffed it into the neckline. The jade was cold, touching her skin, making people shiver.
But Mingsu stuck it to his heart, thinking silently in his heart that he must be safe and sound.
After a pause, her eyes were slightly red, she timidly backed down, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come back, I will never see you and I will not blame you, as long as you are safe and sound."
When the scouts came back, when it was almost time, he hurried in, and said in front of His Highness Xin Guo: "That man has served in the army, he knows how to hide his whereabouts, and the humble officer chased him all the way, he entered a farm first, After it got dark, he walked around half of the city, and finally sneaked into the Third Prince's Mansion through the back door.
It hasn't come out yet.There are people watching everywhere outside the Third Prince's Mansion. "
Alright, the third prince and the fifth prince are all involved.Mingsu nodded, and said expressionlessly: "If he comes out tomorrow, I will take him down. If he doesn't come out, I will go to the mansion to ask for it."
Xuan Guo was startled: "Your Highness, this will definitely make the Third Prince dissatisfied. The situation is now very anxious, and the Third Prince is not willing to back down.
If troubles arise at this time, His Highness the Third Prince will fight with His Highness to the end for the sake of face. If so, General Gu will be in danger. "
As soon as Gu Ruchuan entered Beijing, he was placed under house arrest in the mansion. If he could not escape the crime, he would be sent to prison.
Mingsu closed his eyes.
"Perhaps this Pixiu was sent to His Highness on purpose by His Highness the Third Prince, to mess with His Highness, we searched so closely everywhere.
If even His Highness can't find Miss Zheng, neither can the Third Prince. If that person is captured, all officials will think His Highness is arrogant and the Third Prince will be dissatisfied. "Xuan Guo persuaded blindly.
Ming Su opened his eyes, and murmured: "I have been arguing with Ming Yin for almost half a month, why is there no sound from Ming Chen, when did he become so quiet, he can't help not getting involved."
Xuan Guo was taken aback.
"Tomorrow fifteenth, I'm going to the palace." Ming Su said.
There is a morning province in the fifteenth palace, but Mingsu is not going to greet the queen, she is going to see the third prince.
The third prince Ming Yin is rough, but extremely filial. Every time after the morning inspection, he will go to the Palace of Concubine De, to talk and walk with his mother and concubine.
For more than ten years, rain or shine.
Ming Su didn't interrupt him to see Concubine De, but waited outside De Concubine's palace, and when he came out, Fang stepped forward and said: "Brother Sanhuang, my sister has something to tell you."
This time the third prince stayed in the Concubine De's Palace for a long time, it was past noon when he came out, Ming Su didn't know how long he had been waiting.
The third prince is reckless, but he is not completely brainless. They are so tense at the moment, and Ming Su can still be here, which shows that the matter is important.
The two of them pretended to smile, and when they went to the Zhenguan Hall together, Zheng Mi brought a few palace people to the northwest corner of the palace.
The northwest corner of the imperial palace is the most remote place in the entire palace. I don't know when, the concubines who committed crimes in the palace moved here.Over time, this place has become a cold palace.
The cold palace is dilapidated, with cobwebs everywhere, and several windows are broken, and the window paper is whizzing.
Zheng Mi stepped on the steps, there was thick snow on the steps, no one cleaned them, Yun Sang pushed open the door of the hall, stepped inside, the hall was dim, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves and dust.
"It's just behind." Yun Sang said softly.
Zheng Mi nodded her head, signaled the other two palace servants to wait outside, and led Yun Sang inside.
This cold palace is occupied by a concubine who was moved here two years ago. It is said that she was once favored by the emperor, but she was disgusted by the emperor because of her cruelty to the emperor's heir, and she was deposed as a commoner.
However, there have always been rumors in the palace that this concubine was wronged, and the person who wronged her was Concubine Xian.
When Zheng Mi came here today, she was not looking for her, but another person, but she took advantage of the situation and became her cover. What she said to the outside world was to visit this concubine and ask about the past.
Everyone knew that she and Concubine Xian were at odds, so it was reasonable to come here to dig out Concubine Xian.
Zheng Mi held Yun Sang's hand and walked inside, and walked to the apse, where a woman with disheveled hair was huddled on the bed in the apse, wrapped in a quilt. Eyes on them.
Already crazy.
Zheng Mi looked at her for a while, but didn't stop, and walked through the door of the apse to the backyard.
There is also a hut in the backyard. In the hut sits an old man dressed in blue eunuch uniform. The man has several scars on his face, one of which goes straight through his right eye, and he looks extremely ghastly.
He raised his eyes, glanced at the person who came, saw the uniform on the person, and stood up from the chair: "Empress Empress..."
He muttered in his mouth, staring straight at Zheng Mi's face, after a while, he seemed to see who she was, sat back and said extremely disrespectfully: "When did the palace change a queen?"
Yun Sang shouted: "Bold!"
Zheng Mi raised his hand, took a step forward, and said: "This place is remote, there is no news, and the nobles don't know. This summer, His Majesty has a new wife, and there is a queen in the palace."
Zhongguiren is a respectful title for the eunuchs who are used by the empress. Su Du had not heard this title for a long time.
"Your Majesty is trying so hard to find the young one, what can I order?" Su Du was still sitting, looking up at the Empress without any respect.
The Queen raised her hand, Yun Sang understood, saluted respectfully, and retreated.
There are only two people left here.The queen stepped forward and sat down on a chair next to it, not disliking the filth here.
Su Du seemed to find it interesting: "We've come to this point, I didn't expect that the battle in the palace is still going on, and someone wants to find my old bone."
"I want to know what happened five years ago and why His Majesty wanted to kill the Zheng family." Zheng Mi said straight.
Since she uttered these words, Su Du's expression darkened, and his already ferocious face became even more terrifying. After she finished speaking, Su Du stood up and cupped his hands respectfully: "Major, can you give the little one?" What?"
Zheng Mi asked back, "What do you want?"
"Live dignifiedly." Su Du replied.
Zheng Mi nodded: "Okay..."
Su Du also had no power to resist. He hid for five years, his appearance completely ruined, shrunk in the cold palace, and survived on leftovers. His life was worse than that of a waste concubine in the cold palace. Su Du even thought that he would linger here until he died.
Now that the queen is here and asked him about the events five years ago, Su must seize this opportunity.
"How will you let me out, my lord?"
Zheng Mi only said four words: "His Royal Highness Xin Guo."
Su Du's eyes lit up, as if he saw the crimson flames in the icy world, and asked anxiously, "Your Highness is still there? Is Your Highness okay?"
"She's good..."
Su Du no longer hesitated, if there is anyone in this world who misses the Zheng family, the Grand Tutor and the former Empress, it must be His Highness Xin Guo.He showed the color of memory, thought for a while, and seemed to consider where to start.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Teacher Zheng, Ming Hong, the first Sanyuan Jidi in this dynasty. He was only 16 years old when he won the first prize. He is a child prodigy recognized by the court."
The story is very long, dating back to when the first emperor was still a prince.
Zheng Hong won the number one scholar and stepped into his official career. The first official he served was to be a fourth-rank minister, and what he had to do every day was to give lectures to the prince.
But the crown prince is four years older than him, and he has already reached the crown. He listened to the young man's lecture, and naturally he was not convinced. .
After several confrontations, the prince discovered that the young champion was handsome and talented, and his mind was even more flexible, so he was a good talent.
But Zheng Hong discovered that the crown prince seemed to be extremely noble, he was the crown prince under one man and above ten thousand, but he was actually not liked by the emperor, and there were brothers watching over him.
The two understood each other's difficulties, and got along with each other day by day, and there was a feeling of sympathy between the monarch and his ministers.
Zheng Hong wholeheartedly helped the prince, and the two fought for 19 years, pushing down those ambitious brothers one by one, until the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne.
At that time, Zheng Hong also fulfilled the official order of Zhongshu. After the emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to worship Zheng Hong as his tutor, and handed over his only son to him to teach him.
Afterwards, whatever Zheng Hong did, the emperor believed in him, and even said personally that the words and deeds of the Taifu are my words and deeds, and you cannot violate them.
The Taifu is also wholeheartedly for the people and loyal to the country.
There is no gap between the monarch and his ministers, and they are all diligent in government affairs. In just a few years, the politics of the world are clear, the sea is clear, the rivers are clear, the folk roads are not picked up, and there are countless honest and good officials in the court. It is really a scene of prosperity.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Six years later, the emperor became seriously ill and only the nine-year-old prince was left behind.
Before he died, he called the prince and Taifu to the sickbed, and in front of all the ministers, asked the prince to serve the Taifu as he served him, and ordered that all matters in the court should be decided by the Taifu until the new king took charge.
What the emperor said in person in front of all his ministers was more forgiving than a will.Tai Tu naturally agreed with tears.
After the emperor passed away, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and this is the present day.
The Taifu was still the same as in the past, while handling government affairs, he took time out to teach the little emperor to read.
The little emperor was very smart, and respected the Taifu even more. He even fell in love with the Taifu's only daughter. When he was 15 years old, he asked the Taifu to marry him.
Taifu agreed, and the two got married soon.
When the emperor was 16 years old, the Taifu returned to power.Since then, the emperor has personally handled government affairs.
"But people will get used to it. After all, the emperor is immature, his methods are also young, and he often makes mistakes when handling government affairs. The ministers are used to listening to the orders of the Taifu, and the Taifu has controlled the government for more than ten years. Most of them are his disciples and his old officials, the empress said, in this case.
If your Majesty clashes with the Taifu, will the ministers listen to the Emperor or the Taifu? " Su Du asked.
Zheng Mi didn't answer.
Su Du went on to say: "The young one was originally serving the late emperor. After His Majesty was born, he went to the East Palace to serve him. I watched the whole journey with my own eyes, but even I didn't realize that His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Tai Tuo for a long time.
Your Majesty can bear it.When Zhao Liang entered the palace, he was a lowly servant and was often bullied. Once, he was beaten by several eunuchs, and was seen by Miss Zheng. Miss Zheng took pity on him, called him to her, and asked him What is his name, where does he work, how did he enter the palace at such a young age. "
Zheng Mi lowered her eyes, she knew about this matter, the palace servants next to her aunt had inadvertently mentioned it.
"At that time, His Majesty happened to be by his side, and Miss Zheng's family moved her heart, so she begged His Majesty to change his job.
His Majesty directly transferred the man to his side as a servant.I didn't think so at the time, but now that I think about it, His Majesty probably regarded Zhao Liang as the Taifu's eyeliner and asked him to stay by his side..."
Su Du carefully recalled and analyzed, "Then give him benefits, bribe him, and turn him into his own. That's why Zhao Liang escaped unharmed five years ago, and he is still trusted until now."
In these years, Su has analyzed it countless times, and the words were a bit messy, and after talking about Zhao Liang, he said back to the emperor: "When your majesty was young, the Tai Tuo treated him very harshly, he couldn't recite the essays, and often punished him to copy.
Later, when His Majesty was in his teens, the Taifu became much gentler, and he was even more respectful when teaching.
But once His Majesty has made mistakes, he is still outspoken and begs His Majesty to change his ways. "
"I remember that around the year of Your Majesty, Uncle Guo fell in love with a peasant woman, and taking advantage of his status and power, he ordered someone to beat her husband to death in front of the peasant woman, and smashed her infant son to death. Another fire burned down her home.
Then she was forced into the mansion. The woman endured it for several months, found an opportunity to escape from the mansion, and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion to complain. In court.
The matter caused an uproar, and the ministers did not dare to deal with it, so they brought it to the Taifu's desk.
The Taifu ordered people to check the facts and confirmed that what the women said was true, so he sent Uncle Guo to prison and sentenced him to death. "
Su Du was very impressed by this matter, and said in detail: "At that time, His Majesty had been in power for two years, but the power was still in the hands of the Taifu. He had a deep relationship with the uncle, and the Empress Dowager held His Majesty's hand before she died. He asked him to promise to take care of the country's uncle for a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, he agreed, and the queen mother closed her eyes.
So when he heard about this matter, he was so anxious that he hurriedly asked the Tai Tuo to come here, and begged the Tai Tuo to let his uncle out of the country.
The younger one was in the palace at that time, but the Tai Tuo refused, saying that Uncle Guo is cruel, vicious, and has no sense of reverence, if he indulges him today, someone will surely fall into his hands and be harmed by him in the future.His Majesty commuted the sentence to exile and refused to let him return to Beijing. "
"Your Majesty has done a lot of things in the past two years, and the Taifu has returned to power, and he has never overstepped in normal times.
Therefore, although His Majesty was in a hurry at that time, he was fully sure that the Tai Tuo would give in.
But the Taifu has been an official for most of his life, so he doesn't know the tricks, and today he is reassigned to exile, and the uncle of the country will be even more unscrupulous when he arrives in the exile. After a few years, looking for a reason to amnesty the world, the uncle of the country came back.
To whom should the injustice of the unjustly dead be recovered?The Tai Tuo refused.Your Majesty was in a hurry, so he quarreled with the Tai Tuo. The Tai Tuo still refused to give in, and insisted on beheading the uncle of the country. His Majesty could not quarrel. On the second day, he personally wrote the imperial edict, stamped it with the jade seal, and ordered the uncle to be pardoned. For the crime, the sentence was changed to exile.However, the edict was issued from the palace, and no one followed it along the way. "
Zheng Mi could imagine how terrified the emperor was at that time. He thought that after taking office, he had already established a firm foothold in the court, and he was honored as the emperor.
Even if he can't compete with the Tai Tu, at least he can let everyone see his determination, so he will be merciful.
As a result, the imperial edict written by himself was promulgated, but no one obeyed it, no one in civil and military affairs in the court helped him, and no one obeyed the orders of all the people in the world.
I'm afraid that since that day, he has been unable to sleep peacefully, feeling that the Zheng family's eyes and ears are everywhere.
The emperor began to endure, and endured for more than ten years, even if he had cronies, even if the Taifu gradually stopped intervening in court affairs, he still remembered the shadow of the past, fearing that the edict would be a situation where no one would obey it, and kept forbearing until the Taifu Fu passed away, and only then did he vent his grievances.
"The people in Zichen Palace have all seen His Majesty being obsequious to the Grand Tutor. As soon as he sees us, he will think of the misfortune of that day, so he will not let us go." There was a cold look on the corner of Su Du's lips.
Zheng Mi didn't expect it to be like this, she asked again: "Did no one warn the police when the incident happened?"
Su Du said: "It's too fast, as soon as I found out, I immediately informed the empress in the Hall of Renming, and the empress immediately wrote two letters, one was sent back to Zheng's residence and the other was sent to Concubine Shu.
But the former was intercepted before leaving the palace, and the latter was brought out by me. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to hand it to Concubine Shu.
It wasn't until His Majesty ordered the empress to be placed under house arrest that I feared that there might be something important in the letter, so I tried my best to deliver it to Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu and Empress Dowager have always been at odds with each other, and they don't even see each other once a year.
But since the Zheng family had an accident, Concubine Shu has been interceding for the Zheng family, knelt outside the Zichen Hall for a whole day, and even handed letters out of the palace to try to contact the Chu family for help.
It's a pity that the palace gate was strictly guarded at that time, and none of the letters written by Concubine Shu were sent out.
When she saw the handwritten letter given to her by the Empress Empress, she suddenly became quiet and shut the door and didn't hear anything outside the window. "
Su Du has been puzzled by this matter for many years, so he always remembers it.However, there were many concubines who interceded for the queen at that time, and Concubine Shu was not implicated and was preserved.
"For more than a month, the wind was raging, and the news was completely blocked inside and outside the palace. The Zheng family was overthrown in an instant, and people began to die in the palace at the same time. I finally escaped and hid in this cold palace. It's worse than death, and I don't know why. But I just can't bear this life."
After Zheng Mi heard the old news, when she came out, it was almost dark, and it was snowing heavily outside, and the snow on the ground soon thickened a little, since winter, she had never seen such a heavy snow.
She stepped on the snow, walking with one deep foot and one shallow foot.Yun Sang followed behind, occasionally meeting palace people on the road, Zheng Mi didn't even dare to show her sadness.
But I don't know if his face was numb from the wind, or what, but he couldn't feel a trace of coldness.
She was full of what Su Du had just said.It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this.
When she returned to Renming Hall, her clothes were all wet, Yun Sang hurriedly asked people to prepare water, and ordered ginger tea to be boiled.
Zheng Mi was in a daze, and after taking a bath, he wanted to stay alone for a while, but someone came outside to report that His Majesty had come down.
The emperor didn't come for several months, but when he came suddenly, the palace people were in a hurry, preparing to pick him up.
Zheng Mi's heart was full of hatred, and she wanted to ask the emperor, where could the Tai Tuo be wronged to the country, where could he be wronged to the court, and where could he be wronged to the royal family. Returned to power at the age of 16, did he pay back, the uncle broke the law, should he die?
But the bright yellow figure came out from the darkness, and when he got under the main hall, Zheng Mi suddenly woke up, it was not yet time.
She clenched her fists tightly, the palms of her hands were painfully carved by the nails, but her face softened, and she lowered her body gracefully. Every time she lowered her body, Zheng Mi's heart felt as if a knife had been slashed, as if she saw her grandmother hanged to death. In the hall, I saw my grandfather's bones unearthed from the tomb, and was thrown into the market to be trampled by people. I saw my father's uncle beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.
"The concubine has met His Majesty." She said.
The emperor walked up to her and took her into his arms.Zheng Mi's whole body was stiff, and she was so sick that she almost vomited out.
"Why so stiff? Cold?" the emperor looked at her and said.
Zheng Mi lowered her eyes: "The concubine is nervous."
The emperor laughed twice, but held her tighter, looking at her face: "The queen has been neglected, but I'm here?" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and ordered the palace servants to retreat.
Zheng Mi said, "Wait a minute..."
The emperor looked at her with a smile, and touched Zheng Mi's waist all the way. Zheng Mi looked up at him with a gentle smile: "The concubine has a heart here, and I specially tuned it in? I taught it to be dedicated to His Majesty. If I don't want His Majesty, I will come here." .Your Majesty, would you like to see the wishes of my concubine?"
After that, he raised his hand and hooked the emperor's belt.
The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, let me see what's on my mind."
Zheng Mi looked at Yun Sang, Yun Sang bowed and retreated.
The palace people understood, and each prepared silk, bamboo and wind music, and presented delicacies and wines.A beautiful woman came out from behind the curtain with a sweet smile and moving dance steps.
The emperor smiled and sat down with his arms around the queen.Zheng Mi looked ahead, wondering why the emperor came suddenly, and thinking about how to get out.
The beauty is indeed beautiful, she was found by Zheng Mi on her own in the palace, her figure is enchanting, but her face is as clear as a lotus emerging from water, which makes people feel pity.
He has seen too much beauty, although this kind of appearance is already superior, but as long as he is in the palace, there is no need to rush to enjoy it, sooner or later it will be his.He remembered that he came today to find the queen.
"There is no rush to watch the song and dance two days late, but I have been waiting for a long time for the wedding night with the empress." The emperor laughed.
In the Zhenguan Palace, Ming Su hadn't left the palace yet, she finished her conversation with the third prince, and the wind and snow blew up, blocking her way out of the palace. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to rest in the palace for the night.
Just about to sleep, there was a knock on the door outside the hall.
When I opened it, it was the female officer next to the queen.Mingsu still decided not to see the queen anymore, not to mention that she was so concerned about Zheng Mi, and was about to order someone to persuade her to leave, when the female officer said urgently: "Your Majesty suddenly came to the Hall of Renming, it's so late..."
Mingsu interrupted her: "Isn't it a good thing that His Majesty came to the Hall of Renming?"
Yun Sang came here on his own initiative, anxious and flustered, listening to the princess' wishes, he was unwilling to help, and hurriedly said: "But..."
"Auntie, go back." Mingsu said, waved his hands, and immediately a eunuch came and pushed Yun Sang out.
The gate of the palace was closed.Shut people out.
Mingsu turned and went back to the hall, the water on the stove was boiling.She walked over, picked up the kettle, and made a cup of strong tea.
She made up her mind, never seeing the empress again, not to mention the harmony between the empress and the empress is a matter of course, so what does it have to do with her?
Boiling water was poured into the pot, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, but Ming Su was not only relaxed and happy, but a little irritable.
She waited for a while, lifted the pot, and poured down a cup of tea.
"I don't want to sleep with you." The queen's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Mingsu picked up the teacup and watched the tea color.

Xuan Guo came in and was about to speak when His Highness suddenly stood up, put the teacup in his hand on the table, walked out quickly, and broke into the wind and snow.
