After leaving the cold palace, suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, Cui Wan hurriedly put a robe on Concubine Shu, "Your Majesty, are you going back to Yijing Palace?"

After the cold wind blew, Concubine Shu's icy eyes gradually warmed up, and her mind calmed down. She shook her head, "No, wait any longer."

As he spoke, he clearly heard a scream from inside, "Get lost—"

Very good, Concubine Shu sneered, turned her face slightly, and sure enough, she saw the imperial doctor walking out of the room with a medicine box in her hand, sighing and standing in front of her respectfully, bending over to obey orders.

"Wait." Concubine Shu glanced at him lightly, then walked outside, "Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Concubine Shu's ceremonial car hadn't arrived yet, and the news had already passed. The father-in-law welcomed Concubine Shu into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a smile. .”

That's when the time came, Concubine Shu entered the inner hall, and saw the emperor holding a large brush and writing "Tianxia Taiping" in big characters.

"Aifei came just in time, come and see how the word is?" The last vertical needle of the word "Ping" fell down, Xia Jingdi closed his pen and looked up with a smile.

Concubine Shu lifted up her skirt and walked to the desk, took a closer look, and said with a little distress: "Now I really hate that the concubine has no ink in her belly and can't speak learned words to praise, but the concubine just looks at it I feel that my heart is very stable, and I don’t worry at all.”

"I don't know if there is Mo, but I don't think anyone can compare to this cleverness." Emperor Xia Jing burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to scratch Concubine Shu's nose, and said with a smile on his face, "That's right, praise me, if you speak elegantly, I will I've heard too much, but it's not as good as Aifei's simple and honest words, I'm very close to you."

Concubine Shu said with a smile: "The concubine just said what was in her heart."

"What reward do you want?"

Concubine Shu thought for a while, "If the emperor is willing, why not give this calligraphy to my concubine, but what about calligraphy."

Emperor Xia Jing glanced at her and shook his head, "What kind of reward is this? If you think about changing it, this word will be framed and sent to Yijing Palace."

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu bowed her body, her face full of surprise.

Emperor Xia Jing waved his hand indifferently, and saw that his father-in-law came in and carefully took away the writing on the table and handed it to the palace servants.

"Let's talk, have you decided what you want? If you leave this palace gate, it won't count."

Concubine Shu helped Emperor Xia Jing go to the Nuan Pavilion next to him, took the tea from the court lady, blew it carefully, and then delivered it to him.

Lowering her eyes, she looked at Emperor Xia Jing who was sitting upright drinking tea, she hesitated slightly, "Your Majesty..."

"how?"

Concubine Shu bit her lips, sat next to Emperor Xia Jing, and said cautiously: "I do have something to ask."

"Oh?" Emperor Xia Jing put down the teacup and looked up at her, "Who has wronged my concubine Shu? Don't be afraid, tell me and I will make the decision for you."

I don't know if it's up to me or not, but the troubles in the harem can't be hidden from the emperor's eyes.

Concubine Shu got off the couch, knelt in front of the emperor, bowed down, and said sincerely: "The concubine has been granted the power to control the six palaces by the emperor's grace. Although it is an honor, she is also disturbed in her heart. It's just that today the nuns of Cold Spring Palace came to report, saying that the virtuous inside... Sister Zuo was seriously ill, so she was a little embarrassed. Although Sister Zuo was guilty and relegated to the cold palace, she could have a prince who grew up and accompanied her for many years. The points are different. Therefore, the concubine immediately announced the imperial physician and visited her in person. However, the concubine found that although her sister was weak, the source was still in her heart. She kept thinking about the emperor. As the saying goes I can't bear my sister to be so haggard..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Shu raised her head to look at Emperor Xia Jing, who had a vague expression, and said earnestly: "My concubine is bold, please go to Lengquan Palace to see my sister."

At the end, with a choked sob, he bent down deeply.

Emperor Xia Jing was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a deep sigh. He got up from the couch, bent down to help Concubine Shu up on the ground, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to petition for her, she treats you so badly. Are you wronged?"

Concubine Shu stood up, raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she gently pressed the corners of her eyes and said, "The concubine does not agree with what the emperor said. The concubine has a high bed to warm the pillow, and the servants are in groups, but the elder sister is alone in the cold palace. How did the grievance come from?"

Emperor Xia Jing put his arms around Concubine Shu and returned to the couch to sit down, and asked softly, "Don't you blame her at all? I remember that she was not good to you before, let alone that she was sorry for Minmin."

Concubine Shu smiled, "I don't even dare to think about it these days, how can I ask for more? Don't be afraid of the emperor's jokes. When I first entered the palace, what I thought most was to live well, be good, and be obedient." Fortunately, Concubine Min took pity on me and asked Meiren Lin to ask me to go. This life would be better, if it wasn't for later..."

Concubine Shu didn't say any more.

"I'm sorry for Min Min." Emperor Xia Jing said, with guilt in his eyes, "I listened to what Zuo Shi and Concubine Liang said, and betrayed her, she hates me..."

"Your Majesty!" Before Emperor Xia Jing finished speaking, Concubine Shu stopped her, as if she didn't care about being rude, she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Concubine Min is the most kind-hearted, she doesn't even want ants How can you hate the emperor if you trample one to death? A few days ago, my concubine dreamed of her..."

Xia Jingdi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You also dreamed about her, what did she say?"

Concubine Shu pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and seemed to recall: "Concubine Min is still so beautiful. She is wearing a pink dress, with a little makeup on like a heavenly girl. If I can think of her, I don't ask for anything, as for the others, there is no hatred or resentment."

"Yes, yes, Minmin, she has always been like this. She remembers the good things others do to her, and she doesn't worry about the bad things they do to her."

Emperor Xia Jing was immediately convinced that Concubine Shu was the closest to Concubine Min, and what she said was absolutely correct.And Concubine Min loved him so much, how could such a gentle person hate him?

The big stone in his heart was suddenly let go, and Emperor Xia Jing held Concubine Shu's hand and said: "Fortunately, I still have my concubine, you, and you and Yan'er will not let me down. Don't worry, I will always arrange for you mother and daughter." of."

"Your Majesty, with you here, I have nothing to worry about." Concubine Shu leaned back into Emperor Xia Jing's arms, and persuaded again, "So, Your Majesty, you might as well go and see my sister, my concubines are not big My sister is also selfish. My sister was so many years earlier than my concubine, and my relationship with the emperor is always extraordinary. If something happens to my sister, the emperor will always have some regrets. In this way, she will stay in your heart, minister The concubine is not reconciled."

Such small thoughts suddenly became extremely cute and heart-warming in the eyes of Emperor Xia Jing, and he couldn't help but groaned, "The little vinegar jar, it turns out that it's just pretending to have a big belly."

"It's too deserted in the cold palace, so you can just pick her up, no matter what, the concubine's grade is always higher than her, so don't be afraid of her." Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows with a naive look on her face.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Jingdi's heart suddenly brightened, and he laughed loudly, "Okay, just do what Aifei said, don't worry, if she bullies you, I will support you. Speaking of which, Lao Jiu did it on an errand. That's right, the age has come, it's time to close the mansion and leave the palace, the former Prince Li's old mansion has been unoccupied, so let the House of Internal Affairs repair it."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu's eyes lit up immediately.

The prince's mansion is naturally for the prince to live in.

Emperor Xia Jing smiled, "In addition, I have sent you a task, you must complete it well."

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions, and my concubines will do their best."

"You should go all out, hehe, the concubine of Lao Jiu, you have to take a good look at her!"

Concubine Shu suddenly paused in her heart, and then her heart beat wildly. She clenched her fists, suppressed her excitement, suppressed the ecstasy with her bright eyes and said: "This... seems inappropriate. A concubine is just a concubine. When you are inspected by the imperial concubine, do you want to ask the empress dowager to take care of you?"

Emperor Xia Jing glanced at her resentfully, dissatisfied, "No need, it is your responsibility to lead the six palaces, how can you shirk it? Don't let me down when you do a good job. The queen mother is not energetic, so don't bother her. Once you have a candidate, talk to her."

This is completely handing over the initiative to himself, and the Ninth Prince and Concubine will also accept her love in the future.With great joy, she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth any longer, and said loudly: "My concubine, thank you Lord Long En."

Emperor Xia Jing finally got up and drove to the Leng Palace. Concubine Shu didn't go, and because of the benefits, she naturally didn't care about Mrs. Zuo even more, saying, "Sister must have many private things to say to the emperor, so the concubine will not be annoying. Later The concubine ordered someone to bring a table of noodles to Lizheng Palace, the emperor picked up my sister and came out, why not have lunch with her."

With such caring words, Emperor Xia Jing looked at Concubine Shu with softer and more comforting eyes.

The emperor is old, and he cherishes the past friendship even more.

Zuo was thin, pale and sickly lying on the bed, coupled with Lian Lian looking at him with tears in his eyes, thinking of the glorious days, comparing the two, the emperor's hard heart instantly became extremely soft.

Such a good opportunity, but now recalling the situation that day, Zuo felt that he must have been imprisoned for too long and lost his mind.It was a conspiracy, a trap set up by Zhang's slut, and she fell headfirst into it.

But it was all too late.

She looked at the snow-colored white silk on the beam, her face was miserable and desperate.

"What did you say?"

The emperor's tender eyes turned cold instantly, but the pleading woman still didn't notice, holding Emperor Xia Jing's sleeve with her skinny hand as if grabbing a life-saving straw, she pleaded: "Your Majesty, my concubine has nothing to ask for in this life. The King of Shu is the fate of his concubines! The Zhenxi Palace was defeated, and he was far away in the capital. How did he participate in this time, and it has been so many years. Why did Prince Rui not bring up this matter when he returned home triumphantly? Your Majesty, please think twice, the King of Shu is your own son, how could he do such a rebellious thing..."

Emperor Xia Jing stared at the woman lying on the bed crying bitterly, the feeling of pity for the reunion after so many years disappeared in an instant, he lowered his voice without any waves, "You can also know about this in the cold palace, you look like a lady After all, the concubine is a little tender, and does not have the ability of you and Concubine Liang to control the harem."

After all, Mrs. Zuo is the favorite concubine who has been with her for many years, and she subconsciously understood why the emperor was so angry for a moment, she shook her head quickly, "No, no, the concubine doesn't know anything, this is because the concubine was sent by the nanny who delivered the meal. I found out when I was chatting with the servant, the emperor will see clearly!"

Emperor Xia Jing laughed angrily, he got up and slowly paced with his hands behind his back, "Oh, I don't know that even an old woman who delivers food can know such a secret thing, but it just happened to let you hear it, don't you know it Is Yichaozheng going to be beheaded for spreading rumors?"

In the end, the emperor's anger was instantly escalated with questioning, and Zuo was stunned for a moment, but suddenly opened his eyes, Fu Lin's mind, and everything was figured out.

"Your Majesty!" Zuo yelled, then rolled down under the bed, crawled forward a few steps, and grabbed the hem of Emperor Xia Jing's clothes, "Your Majesty, this is all a conspiracy, a conspiracy for my concubines and the King of Shu! The bitch Zhang deliberately sent someone to discuss at the gate of the Leng Palace for the concubine to hear. Your majesty, think about it, she is the master of the harem now, and only she can do it! Your majesty, the concubine is the mother , A mother can do anything for her own child! The concubine is locked in this cold palace, and can't get any news. Hearing such a worrying thing all of a sudden, the concern is chaotic, and she must have lost her sense in front of the emperor. ! Rejected by the emperor!"

Emperor Xia Jing said coldly: "But you are already in the limbo."

"However, my concubine is seriously ill, and the emperor still came to see my concubine today." Zuo looked at Emperor Xia Jing with tender and joyful eyes, hugged his feet, and stroked them lightly, with tears streaming down his face.

However, what Emperor Xia Jing said next caused Zuo to fall into the ice cellar.

"If Concubine Shu hadn't knelt in front of me today and begged me to come and see you, I wouldn't have come."

"She must..."

Emperor Xia Jing bent down and said to Zuo's stunned face, "She brought the imperial physician to see you this morning, but you scolded her, insulted her, beat her, dismissed the imperial physician, and even cursed Yan'er, but all kinds of She didn't say a single word of the bitter and harsh words to me, she forcefully persuaded me to visit you for the sake of old love, but what about you?"

Emperor Xia Jing was utterly disappointed, "Everyone is a lady, but she is not as good as a village woman from the mountains."

"No, no..." Zuo shook her head, slowly, "This is all pretending, she is the best at using this kind of bitter trick, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Emperor Xia Jing's face suddenly turned ugly, Zuo knew that this was her last chance, so she tightly clung to Emperor Xia Jing's leg and shouted: "I framed Concubine Min nine years ago, and my concubine pleaded guilty. But for Mrs. Zhang, the concubine was wronged, and the concubine did not poison the concubine! The concubine did not know it at all! I don't believe that it was the concubine Liang who ordered it. A bitter trick! The concubine swears that if she deceives the emperor even a little bit, the concubine will die! She avenged Concubine Min, made the nine princes completely fall for her, and took this opportunity to eradicate the other princes... The emperor is ambitious, You must not be played by her in the applause—"

"Shut up!" Accompanied by this yell, there was a clear slap, and Zuo Shi was thrown onto the bed in an instant.

Emperor Xia Jing was furious, he picked up Zuo's collar in a rage, and said dangerously: "At this time, you still want to cling to her! Who would borrow your guts! Concubine Shu will ask Zhen to take you out of the cold palace, and comfort you with good words." , Hehe, her kindness really fed the dogs."

Zuo Shi was so frightened that she trembled, she pursed her lips and couldn't speak, she felt that the emperor would really kill her.

Suddenly, the father-in-law's voice came from the door, breaking the frozen situation.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has sent the imperial physician to wait outside, is it..."

"She is really kind, but look, are you worthy?" Emperor Xia Jing sneered, "Let the imperial physician step down, there is no need here."

Zuo was completely stunned, only the hot fluid in his eyes slid down his cheeks involuntarily, but at this moment, the face of the aloof emperor was full of disgust, it seemed that even just looking at it would make him feel dirty dirty.

Unwilling to stay any longer, Emperor Xia Jing turned and left, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his face sideways, and said coldly that Zuo had never heard before: "You don't know about the old fifth. That being the case, you can figure it out."

The outstretched hand didn't have time to touch a corner of the clothes, and the emperor's figure disappeared at the door under the dazzling light. The call seemed to be silent, but no sound could be heard when he opened his mouth... The hand fell powerlessly on the ground. The edge of the bed, and then darkness.

Early the next morning,

"Your Majesty, the one in the cold palace left last night."

Cuiwan took the bead flowers for Concubine Shu, and said softly.

Concubine Shu's eyes moved slightly, then lowered her eyelids, and said softly: "Don't wear these, send someone to report the funeral."

"Yes."
