After the New Year's Eve, all officials went to court, and the Northwest Memorial arrived, and the case finally made progress.

Before that, there were faint rumors, and now listening to the father-in-law's sharp memorial reading, the king of Shu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

His Majesty Dan's expression was hidden behind the Nine Dynasties Flowing Pearl Crown, so he couldn't see clearly, but the cold gaze fell on him as if it were real.

He didn't know how he survived the morning court, and he heard his father-in-law's shrill "retirement—" before he realized that the cold sweat had already pinched his back.

King Shu knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation again, for the third time, but Emperor Xia Jing still didn't meet him.

Lai Gonggong's white-soled black boots appeared in sight, only to hear a sigh, and said in a slightly shrill voice: "His Royal Highness Shu, you go back, the emperor has ordered that when the Northwest case is cleared, the Ninth Prince's case will be closed." As soon as the memorial arrives, we will make a decision. The emperor is angry, and it is useless for you to kneel like this."

"No, I want to see my father, come to Eunuch, you can go and report again."

King Shu's knees were tingling. Although he was dressed thickly in the late winter and early spring, the ground was cold, and the cold wind would make his whole body tremble.

After playing this kind of bitter trick too much, he didn't feel distressed anymore. Eunuch Lai shook his head and gestured to the guard next to him.

Needless to say, two guards suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the King of Shu, and lifted him up.

The king of Shu immediately struggled and said angrily, "What are you going to do! Idiot slaves, let go of me! Let my father know that you treat me like this, be careful..."

"His Majesty the King of Shu, the slaves are also obeying orders. The emperor ordered His Majesty the King of Shu to return to the mansion to wait for orders. He is not allowed to go out or enter the palace without a summons."

Lai Gonggong closed his eyes, then shook the whisk, and the guards picked up the King of Shu and left.

The king of Shu was fat and generous, and he was used to being pampered. He was no match for the forbidden army in the palace. No matter how he struggled, he was firmly supported and left the palace without hesitation.

This is the third time I've been banned.

The father-in-law looked at the people who had gone away and went back to report.

Emperor Xia Jing didn't say anything, just sighed deeply.

Nothing but three.

The snow-white letter paper was thrown into the charcoal stove, and the curled edges turned yellow and burned to ashes in an instant.

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes and watched Yuanyuan take out the stove, took out the half-turned book on the side, and looked at it with the corner of her mouth upturned, obviously in a good mood.

This time, no matter what, the Tianhuang nobleman will not be turned over.

Come one by one, don't rush.

The undercurrents inside and outside the palace have never stopped, and the scene outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation was instantly transmitted to everyone's ears and eyes, and even in the Leng Palace, strangely, there were sporadic little maids talking quietly outside.

And Concubine Xian... No, the current Concubine Zuo lives in this cold palace.

In a year's time, who still remembers this noble concubine who was born noble, who is also favored, who dares to challenge the noble concubine with infinite beauty--the former virtuous concubine.

Although the Anpinghou Mansion was questioned at the beginning, the King of Shu was still there, and even because of the resurgence of corruption cases in the south of the Yangtze River, the King of Liang stumbled and lost his position as the prince. There were faint signs of a comeback.

Therefore, although the Zuo family is in the cold palace, according to the rules, there are fewer servants in the palace, but there is no shortage of food and clothing, and no one dares to provoke them.

However, as the news from Shanxi came slowly, it became more and more unfavorable to the king of Shu. There have always been many people who are overbearing and flattering in the palace. Happened more and more frequently.

The food has changed from warm to cold, and the materials of winter clothes and spring shirts are getting worse and worse.

There was still a burst of chill in the early spring, and the cold food swallowed into the throat and shivered from the cold. How could Zuo, who had never suffered such humiliation, bear it!

It's just a good thing it's not sour and can be swallowed.

She told herself that she would gradually get better, that whoever entered the cold palace would not be tortured like this, one day the emperor would pick her up, and at that time, none of the servants here would be able to escape!

For the sake of King Shu, she picked up chopsticks and ate patiently with anger in her eyes.

"Xiao Shunzi, what's the matter, you look so ugly?"

Suddenly, the nanny who was waiting at the door to clean up the bowls and chopsticks said, this is a rare old palace lady who is kind to Zuo Shi, and of course she is merciless when picking up the jewelry Zuo Shi gave her.

Only a few kicks of shoes were heard, and a slightly shrill voice said impatiently: "Don't mention it, bad luck, the emperor is in a bad mood these days, and people in the palace are panic-stricken. Everyone is doing things nervously, come on. On the road, I met Eunuch Cui, and he was still following..." He seemed to swallow, and then continued in a low voice, "There are five straw mats wrapped in white cloth, all... still dripping with blood, I Hiding in the corner, I didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being discovered, I waited for them to pass before I ran back."

The nanny trembled when she heard that, "Eunuch Cui, that killer..." She couldn't continue.

The two were silent at the same time, and after a while Xiao Shunzi asked, "Mother, why are you here?"

"Here, I can pack up and go home when the food inside is finished," Mammy replied.

"Ha, as long as Mammy is kind-hearted, who cares about her now? It's good enough to have food, and you even wait for her to finish eating. You really think of yourself as a mother!"

The disdainful voice made Zuo's hand pause, and then he continued to chew as if nothing had happened.

"You, you are too young, remember to stay on top of things, so that we can meet each other in the future, don't forget, the King of Shu is still outside, the future is uncertain."

Counting her as acquainted, Zuo sneered in his heart.

However, Xiao Shunzi scoffed directly, "Her? Nurse, it's impossible."

"How to say?"

"The king of Shu has committed a heinous crime and cannot protect himself, so who can control her!"

"what?"

"It was spread all over the palace. Some people saw the King of Shu kneeling outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a day and a night with his own eyes, but the emperor still ordered the imperial guards to tie him up and send him out of the palace. He heard that he would go to prison immediately! Think about it, if it wasn't for a heinous crime, the emperor would How could you send your own son to the Heavenly Prison? There has never been such a thing.”

Zuo Shi suddenly widened his eyes and froze his body.

"What the hell happened here?" The nanny asked hurriedly, "I was thinking about this one going out to see how much I can take care of for my help, ouch..."

"Take care? Oh, my nanny, listen to Xiao Shunzi, hurry up and get rid of her, don't you see that the others are not nice to talk to? You are still moving forward, isn't this the best way to catch up?" Looking for death?"

"I...I don't know!"

Then Xiao Shunzi lowered his voice, "I heard it's something about the Northwest. Didn't the Emperor order Prince Rui to lead an army to Shanxi to suppress the bandits a while ago? Why do you think little bandits need to bother Prince Rui? Isn't this an obvious way to kill chickens?" What the heck, why did you send the Ninth Prince out together? To put it simply, he asked Prince Rui to escort the Ninth Prince, just to investigate the evidence of... the king of Shu...! It seems to be related to the Zhenxi Palace Well, I don't know the specifics for little people like us, but I heard from a few old seniors in the palace that the king of Shu is... difficult this time! I'll just wait for the Ninth Prince to come back and deal with it. What about the common people?"

Mammy seemed taken aback, "Don't talk nonsense."

"How can I talk nonsense? That's what everyone in the palace says." Xiao Shunzi yelled unhappy, "Everyone says that the Ninth Prince has made great achievements this time, and the Emperor likes him. You see, even Prince Rui He was sent to fight for him, and if he does well this time, he will definitely be rewarded when he comes back. Who would have thought that the guy who bullied the Ninth Prince at that time would be worried now, haha."

"Maybe this fate really fell on him..."

"Crackling——" Xiao Shunzi hadn't finished his last sentence when there was a sound of smashing dishes behind him, followed by a heavy slamming sound on the door, "Bang! With frenzied shouts and screams, "Come on, I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor... that bitch of Mrs. Zhang—let me see the emperor!"

The door panel was rattling, shaking like it was about to be shattered, and Zuo Shi's screaming voice seemed to pierce people's ears, hysterical as if he had lost all reason and went mad.

The nanny and Xiao Shunzi seemed to be stupefied by fright, and it took a long time to take a step back, but Xiao Shunzi yelled bravely: "This is a cold palace, and I still think you are a good concubine!" Take a pee on yourself, see the emperor? The emperor has no time to deal with you, a sinful woman, if you have a lot of things to do, shout, shout, it's useless to break your throat."

"Dog slave, tiger poison does not eat offspring. My son is the prince. Daxia has not killed a prince since the founding of the country. Wait for him to come out and see how I deal with you! If you don't want to die, send me a message!"

When Zuo's angry reprimand came out, Xiao Shunzi sneered again and again, "Go ahead and make your daydreams!" With a bah, he dragged Mammy away, regardless of the slamming of the palace door and shouts behind him.

That night, Zuo, who was anxious, angry, and furious, cursed and cried all night, and finally fell ill.

It was a chilly spring day, and the cold palace was cold. On the second day, Concubine Shu brought the maids and servants to the cold palace with soup cups and tonics.

One is emaciated, haggard and pale, with disheveled hair lying on the bed like a female ghost; the other is dressed in a gorgeous fox fur loose robe, holding a delicate enamel-carved heater in his hand, wearing a golden waffle with pearls on his head, noble and elegant, with a mouth With a faint smile, Bentham called softly, "Sister Zuo."

At that moment, the withered and white hands exposed outside the plain quilt suddenly retracted, twisting the quilt tightly, the dark red eyes shot out the anger, Zuo bared his teeth in a hoarse voice, "Bitch, seeing this Are you proud that the palace is so advanced?"

Concubine Shu's eyes with just the right amount of worry, in Zuo's eyes, it was a sense of triumphant ridicule, looking at her abjection from aloof.

Cuiwan moved a handful of brocade pier and placed it in front of the bed. Concubine Shu sat down calmly, took the steaming soup cup in Cuiwan's hand, and blew on it, "Sister is sick and confused. Nonsense, my sister won't take it seriously. Come on, drink something warm, the imperial doctor has already gone to announce it, and will come right away."

He took a spoonful and carefully brought it to Zuo Shi's mouth, not caring about the growing hatred in Zuo Shi's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the sick person is not weak, Zuo finally raised his hand and opened it, the soup bowl was overturned and immediately sprinkled Concubine Shu all over, Cui Wan let out a short exclamation, "Your Majesty!"

The palace maid came in in a panic, busy wiping the soup stains on Concubine Shu.Fortunately, the soup was no longer hot and there was no burn.

"It's all right, it's just that the palace is not sure, don't make any noise." Concubine Shu ordered lightly.

Cuiwan glared dissatisfiedly at Zuo Shi, who was sneering at her, and reluctantly agreed, "Yes, the servants will be prepared again, it's just your clothes..."

"Just change it."

Cuiwan had no more words and went down.

Then I heard Zuo sneering slowly: "What do you change, just wear this suit to show the emperor, so that the emperor can know that I can bully his favorite concubine even in the cold palace. Give me a happy one in a fit of anger."

However, Concubine Shu didn't respond to this, she just smiled as if she was looking at an ignorant child, "Sister, you are worrying too much, the emperor is always busy, why bother him with these trivial matters."

Zuo's appearance of not getting in the oil and salt made Zuo immediately furious, "Heh, do you use soft knives too often? Bastard, don't think I don't know, you took the cold plum poison back then! It's a good move Bitter tricks, one shot kills two birds with one stone, turned the emperor around, avenged Concubine Min, captured the Nine Princes, and trampled Concubine underfoot, and I... Hehe, such a scheming is really scary. If the Emperor knows, you What will happen?"

Concubine Shu finally raised her eyes, looked at the increasingly ferocious Zuo family clearly, and suddenly smiled, "The emperor said to let my sister stay calm in the cold palace, it seems that this method is used wrongly, calmness is not necessarily, but there are more problems of cranky thinking. Forget it, I will treat my sister as if she is in a hurry and talk nonsense, but you and my sister know, and my sister will not tell the emperor."

"I really want to tear off your hypocritical face in front of the emperor."

Concubine Shu just smiled and didn't answer, she just turned around and called out, "Where's the imperial doctor, why hasn't he come yet?"

A respectful announcement came from the door, "It's almost there, Madam."

Both the inside and outside of this cold palace are controlled, this kind of scenery, this kind of sky difference, made Zuo's complexion even more distorted, and the red in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"Back when Concubine Min committed suicide in fear of crime, she should have sent you down with her. If you keep it, it will become a disaster, and you will have a terrible death!"

How Ren Zuo irritated and insulted Concubine Shu remained motionless, without changing her face, this kind of energy-raising kung fu made Zuo more and more furious, wishing to scratch that face, "Poison woman, I am not a good person, and neither are you. I have suffered retribution!" , you can’t escape, either the retribution will be on you or on Zhao Yan.”

Immediately Concubine Shu's face changed, her eyes sharpened, and Zuo finally laughed happily, "I don't curse you, I curse Zhao Yan, in the future, everyone will betray their relatives, die in another country, and not have a good death..."

"Enough!" Concubine Shu drank immediately, stood up abruptly, stood up and faced the outside, and said in a voice that was so cold that the icicles fell, "The imperial doctor is here, sister, please take a good look."

There was a loud laugh from the left hand behind him, Concubine Shu clenched her fists, her eyes were cold.
