After careful calculation, Concubine Song Gui has been in the palace for more than ten years.

She is a woman from an official family, and her father was a fifth-rank attendant in the Imperial Academy. When she entered the palace by virtue of the draft, she was full of expectations, thinking that she would write a magnificent life in her best years.

However, after stepping into this palace where dangers lurk like a deep sea, reality slapped her hard.

The emperor was all about governing the country. Except for the empress who was the first wife, Concubine Wangui and Concubine Ning, and Concubine Yi who was born in the general family, the women in the palace were actually the same in his eyes, so he naturally ruined the concubine Song Gui The heart of inviting pets in the early years.

There are those who are not seen, 36 years.

——However, apart from the emperor's favor, there is another way to make the concubines in the harem have a foothold, that is, the mother is more expensive than her son.

The officials and censors in the court rely on their mouths to make a living. Once they have no way to start with official affairs, they always like to cast their eyes on the emperor's backyard.In their remonstrances of chasing and fighting fiercely, although the emperor was impatient, he had to share the rain and dew, so Song Guifei got a hard-won chance to be favored.

Her belly was exceptionally strong, and after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to Tian Cheng's sixth prince, Ming Ye.

However, just when Song Guibi was holding the child, full of thought that she would have a bright future, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the palace like the deep sea, grabbed her ankle fiercely, and slammed Song Guibi hard. dragged into the vortex—

An uninvited guest in a splendid attire ushered in her palace, Concubine Ning Zhu Xisheng.

"Concubine Song Gui is also an old man in the palace, so I shouldn't need to go around in circles anymore?"

The delicate-looking woman took a sip of tea, glanced at Concubine Song who was kneeling at her feet trembling, smiled lazily, and said casually: "If it wasn't for Bengong's intention to spare me, the child in your womb... I'm afraid it would be the same for you." It's not so easy to fall to the ground, does your concubine understand?"

Of course Song Guibin understood.

The harem has few heirs, and the prince is only bred by the queen, concubine Wan and concubine Ning.Wen Jieyu, who was pregnant before her, had both slippery pregnancies, and the baby who was diagnosed as a boy in Yinggui's womb even died in dystocia. Who would believe that no one intervened?

"My concubine misses my mother's noble hand," Song Guifei's humiliation was covered by fear, she prostrated herself at the feet of Concubine Ning, and said in a trembling voice, "I wish to be my mother's leader..."

In the face of Potian's power and means, she doesn't want anything, she just wants her son to live in safety!

Concubine Ning is also very satisfied with Concubine Song's understanding.After the latter complied with her orders and caused troubles for those low-ranking concubines many times, Concubine Ning summoned her to the Chongle Palace, and smiled at another woman beside her: "Your Majesty, look at the new concubine's helper, how about it? "

Concubine Wan put down the teacup, didn't even give a glance to Concubine Song who was shaking like chaff, and said calmly: "It's really an obedient dog."

Concubine Ning smiled, as if she had said a word of praise to Concubine Song, which made the latter feel chills.

She just knelt like this until Concubine Wan left, and Concubine Ning threw a pack of medicine powder in front of her, and this coldness reached its peak——

"I heard from the Tai Hospital that Wen Jieyu is pregnant again." Concubine Ning said with a smile, "She is quite blessed to have a child, but unfortunately...but not."

Song Guipin stretched out her hand and grabbed the packet of medicinal powder in the palm of her hand, the cold sweat on her back had already soaked the palace attire.

"The concubine understands."

——In six astrology cycles after this day, the news that Wen Jieyu lost her baby for the third time, and that she might not be able to conceive again spread throughout the palace.

Concubine Song Gui sat blankly in the palace, staring at her hands, with blood dripping in front of her eyes.

In order for her own child to live, she told other people's children to die.

She deserves retribution.

……

After the birth of the Ninth Princess Ming Tan, the emperor used the excuse of his advanced age to never touch any woman again.

Therefore, Wanning's party stopped for the time being, and Concubine Song, who was entangled in nightmares every night, could finally feel at ease for a while, except that she had to follow Concubine Ning's orders and embarrass those low-ranking concubines a few times, life was not bad good.

Time passed by, and seeing the sixth prince Ming Ye grow up little by little, Song Guifei also became a little superstitious.She was always afraid that she would be murdered by the baby spirit in Wen Jieyu's womb, so she recited Buddhist scriptures and copied scriptures devoutly every night, and as time passed, she believed in karma even more.

——For the evil deeds I committed, I will pay for my life, but Ye'er is still so young and innocent, and has no idea about the evil things his mother and concubine have done, so what if she is implicated by herself?

Therefore, with the idea of ​​forgiving sins and accumulating virtue, Song Guipin gritted her teeth and saved a person who shouldn't have died without telling Wanning and the two of them.

This person's name is Qiubai, she is an ordinary court lady in the Imperial Garden, and she is also the biological sister of Xia Tao, who committed suicide in Kunning Palace because of poisoning the Ninth Princess.

Ninth Princess Ming Tan is the first daughter of the Central Palace, who has been favored by the emperor since she was born.She was bestowed with a baby name by her own parents, and given a full moon title. Even though she was domineering everywhere after growing up, she never aroused the emperor's dislike. She has long been a thorn in the side of Wanning's party.

The two planned for a long time, and seeing the right time, they brought out a court lady named Xia Tao from the Yeting, and asked her to put the bulb of Manjusri into the diet of the nine princesses, and took the opportunity to poison the latter.

"Yeting is having a hard time, isn't it?"

Song Guipin clearly remembered that Concubine Ning had patted Xia Tao's shoulder with a smile at that time, but her eyes were full of contempt, just like Concubine Wan who called herself "an obedient dog" that day .

"I remember, your sister Qiubai is still suffering in the court, isn't she?"

Concubine Ning is well versed in the art of winning people's hearts, so she stuffed honey and arsenic into Xia Tao's mouth, and said in a seductive way: "If you finish what I told you... I will take your sister to Chongming. Le Gong is doing things, and promises not to let her suffer any more, will you agree?"

"However, if you don't agree to do things for me..." Concubine Ning narrowed her eyes, her voice suddenly turned cold, "Then don't blame me for not being sympathetic, and I will send you and your sisters to meet each other in the Underworld!"

Either two die, or one lives.Of course Xia Tao knew how to choose.

However, after she listened to Concubine Ning's words and attempted to commit suicide by poisoning the nine princesses, the former did not fulfill her promise. Instead, she ordered Concubine Song to deal with Qiubai on the grounds of "cutting the grass and roots".

This move was sinister and vicious, but Concubine Ning had done all her calculations, but she never expected that Concubine Song Gui, who had always been the "obedient dog" in her eyes, now didn't want to smear blood to commit crimes anymore.

She went to Yeting, and under Qiubai's blank gaze, she told him everything.

"Your sister Xia Tao has been buried in the Imperial Garden by Bengong." Song Guibi looked at the crying girl in front of her, and couldn't bear to say, "From now on...you will hide your name and follow Bengong."

If this good deed can accumulate some virtues for Ming Ye, then it will be worth it.

……

After the nine princesses were poisoned, they seemed to have changed their temper.Although he is not always willful and domineering like before, he has become more violent.

She first blamed the palace maids with a cane, and gave Chongle Palace a big embarrassment; then she beat Ming Xiao and punched Concubine Ning's lung tube forcefully.The latter was annoyed several times.

But to be honest, under the wings of the empress, she really couldn't do anything to Mingtan, so she had to turn to others to vent her anger.

Wen Jieyu became cynical after losing three children successively, and her personality was extremely staunch.A few days ago, when paying respects to the empress, she sued the Chongle Palace in front of all the concubines for extravagant spending, which was not in accordance with the etiquette, which made Concubine Ning half dead.

Later, Wen Jieyu did not know where to find some clues, and insisted in her own palace that her child must have been killed by Concubine Ning!

The news quickly spread to Chongle Palace through layers of eyes and ears.

Even though Wen Jieyu had no evidence, it was the truth after all.This matter made Concubine Ning feel guilty, unable to sleep at night, and gradually became murderous, she quietly went to Guangyang Palace to talk with Concubine Wan, and in the early morning of the next day, she summoned Concubine Song again and threw a small Porcelain bottle, indifferently ordered:

"The New Year's banquet is approaching, and Wen Jieyu's performance is pipa music. You can go to the Shangle Bureau sometime and do some tricks on her pipa—one will make Wen Jieyu break the strings while playing and make a fool of herself. Cut your fingers; second, remember to apply the contents of this bottle on the strings to ensure that it can be touched by her wounds, understand?"

Song Guipin kowtowed and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, what's in this bottle is..."

"You don't need to ask more." Concubine Ning said, "Just remember that this is something that can make her shut up forever, that's enough."

"...The concubine understands. I should relieve my mother's worries and troubles, and be on the saddle."

With a "boom", when Lin Shurong kicked open the door of the pipa library, Ming Tan rubbed his eyes behind him, almost dumbfounded with Concubine Song who was poisoning the pipa in the hall.

"Good guy!" Ming Tan was shocked, "You, you, why did you kick the door open?!"

Lin Shurong, who was slim and slim, looked back at her and smiled with tenderness and innocence, "I have nothing to do in my spare time. I once learned a few things from Ah Xun, so it's not worth mentioning."

"..."

Ming Tan twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at the door with lingering fear, and finally remembered that there was still a shocked Concubine Song inside.

She hurriedly straightened her complexion, put on an unfathomable expression, stepped into the hall, and said coldly: "Your concubine, what are you doing lurking in Shangle Bureau all by yourself?"

Concubine Song Gui shook violently, came back to her senses, and hurriedly hid the porcelain bottle in her hand behind her back, feeling very nervous, "You, Princess Jiu, why are you here?!"

"My princess was passing by here, and I happened to hear a strange noise coming from the pipa library, and I was suspicious, so I came in to have a look." Ming Tan showed a smirk, "What is it in your mother's hand? What are you hiding, my princess Can't you see it?"

"It's nothing important, don't use it to hinder the princess' eyes..."

Guifei Song made a fool of herself, took a deep breath secretly, and tried to calm herself down, "The concubine was ordered by Concubine Ning to come to Shangle Bureau to pick up the pipa. If I accidentally disturb you, I hope the princess will forgive me." crime……"

Ming Tan narrowed his eyes with a smile, walked slowly, walked to the pipa next to her and glanced, "Oh? So, you are here to pick up the pipa right now, but to perform at the New Year's banquet of Concubine Ning? "

Although the little girl in front of her had a smile on her face, her eyes seemed to be frozen with eternal ice, which was both cold and hard, which was quite frightening.

The brief meeting in the imperial garden last time was not obvious, but this time, Song Guifei intuitively felt the majesty of the heavenly family in Mingtan.

She was arrested for committing a crime, her mind was still numb, and she was frightened by Ming Tan's aura, and she unconsciously followed the other party's words: "Yes, it is for the pipa song at the New Year's banquet of Concubine Ning... ..."

Before the words finished, Song Guipin's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly shut up, but it was already too late.

"Concubine Ning's pipa music?"

Sure enough, after hearing these words from the woman in front of him, Ming Tan's smile disappeared without a trace.

She stared at the other party coldly, raised her hands, and after Concubine Song trembled unconsciously, she immediately shouted sharply: "At the Tiancheng New Year Banquet, there has never been a rule that concubines above the rank of concubine have to perform! Song Gui Concubine, you are so brave, not only came to Shangle Bureau privately to sneak around, but also dared to try to deceive this princess?"

Concubine Song Gui was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare, my concubine doesn't..."

"Don't dare?" Ming Tan shifted his gaze to Pipa next to him, paused in his eyes, and raised his hand to pull out a silver hairpin from his hair.

She took half a step forward, holding the head of the hairpin, picked up a pipa string with the handle, and lifted it hard——

With a sound of "pa", the pipa string broke suddenly, fortunately Ming Tan dodged in time, otherwise he would have to be slapped hard.

She turned around, looked at the dodging eyes of Concubine Song, shook the silver hairpin, and said lightly: "The list sent by the Shang Palace Bureau to Kunning Palace is clearly listed: at this year's annual banquet, the performance will be pipa There is only one person, and that is Empress Wen Jieyu. Is this princess right?"

Seeing that Concubine Song didn't answer, Ming Tan didn't care, but raised his hand and threw the hairpin at the other party's feet, and said coldly: "Please explain to this princess—the bottle in your hand , What kind of outrageous thing is it pretending to be?"

Song Guipin lowered his head reflexively, his eyes immediately went dark.

——I saw that the tip of the silver hairpin at her feet turned black and blue, which seemed to be a sign of a poison test!

"If the empress still refuses to admit it," Ming Tan said indifferently, "this princess will send someone to report to the emperor, and let the imperial guards come and arrest you."

Hearing the word "imperial guard", Song Guifei's legs softened, and she knelt down on the ground immediately, and the bottle in her hand rolled out.She shook her head in a collapsed state, clutching her dress tightly with her fingertips, and begged repeatedly: "My concubine is wrong, princess, please forgive me! ——For the sake of the sixth prince, I beg the princess to show you a noble hand!" , don’t report this matter to His Majesty!”

"Your Majesty ignores the laws and regulations of the palace, and is so audacious that she still dares to beg this princess?" Ming Tan sneered, "If you still refuse to tell the truth...don't say it's you, even my sixth brother, this princess will also beg Give it to the royal father, and ask him to deal with it together!"

The sixth prince, Ming Ye, was Song Guipin's Achilles' heel.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ming Tan's threat to involve Ming Ye in the matter, Song Guibin immediately turned to kneel down, kowtowed to her several times, and said in despair, "I did this all by myself. , has nothing to do with the sixth prince! I beg the princess not to involve Ye'er in this!"

In the eyes of Concubine Song, Ming Tan is the emperor's favorite daughter, and just a few words are enough to turn black and white.

What's more, now that the matter has been revealed, she will undoubtedly die... If Concubine Ning took advantage of the situation and poured some dirty water on the Sixth Prince, wouldn't that just give her a chance to deal with Ming Ye?

She has committed crimes for many years, so she should go to hell, but she can't harm her innocent son!

Seeing that Concubine Song had already kowtowed with blood, and her pleading voice trembled, Ming Tan lowered his eyes, looked at Lin Shurong who was slowly walking to her side, and finally showed a smile that was inevitable.

almost.

"That's enough. If your concubine is willing to tell the truth, father and princess will not wrong others at will."

Ming Tan squinted his eyes, stopped the other party's movements, and said calmly: "Now, please tell me well... where did the poison and scheme to murder the concubine come from?"
