Deep ice

Yuan Jing slowly came back to his senses, the panic in his eyes disappeared, but the hostility was still the same as before.

"come--."

The guard stepped forward respectfully, "Yes."

"Drag back to Huayu Palace—foot restraint—" Yuan Jing's pale face was bloodless, "As for the other little one, send him to the storm room and beat him for [-] rounds."

The guard was stunned for a moment, his expression remained calm, and he only followed the order.

Xi Lian on one side was also a mirror of heart, bowed his waist and dropped his hands, followed the emperor and turned around.

Walking around, I realized that it was not the direction of Jingxuan Palace, after thinking for a while, I boldly reminded, "Your Majesty, that is not the way to Jingxuan Palace..."

There was black air on Yuan Jing's face, "Show me your car, go back to the imperial study."

Xi Lian didn't dare to ask any more questions, but quietly followed behind, turned around and returned to the palace.

Huai Huai watched Yuan Jing want to leave, and suddenly became anxious, "Don't go—"

He stretched out his hand straight, but the man was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't reach it no matter what.

Huaihuai gathered up enough energy, thinking about going out to earn money, but there were too many guards on him, so he firmly pressed himself in the snow until he lost his strength.

On the other side, Chun Bao shrunk into a ball after being beaten, and then stretched out again.

The leading guard raised his hand, "Stop."

The guards who were punching and kicking around stopped their palms and went to look at the team leader.

The team leader stared at the muddy little eunuch on the ground, his pupils sank,

"Eighty percent are dead."

He kicked two more times, and seeing Chun Bao shrunk into a ball again, he said angrily: "How dare you pretend to be dead! Keep beating me!"

Seeing that it was impossible to pretend to be dead, Chunbao couldn't stand the pain, so he turned over and pushed himself on the ground, and burrowed into the snowdrift at the base of the wall.

It is said that the snow at the base of the wall is usually the snow that the Zhidian Supervisor will not have time to put away in the future. It is extremely thick and accumulated for many days. There is a layer of ice on the outside. Can do something.

The team leader kicked twice on the ice, then retracted it, grinning in pain, "Go—find something to shovel this snow for me!"

Hearing this, the two guards behind him rushed out to find two snow shovels.

Huai Huai was dragged three feet away, only then did he think of Chunbao, and shouted loudly, "Chunbao——"

Not far away, a group of people beat people while sweeping snow.

Chun Bao was really busy, even when he heard Huai Huai calling him, he didn't have time to answer, he just kept arching forward along the snowdrift in the corner to avoid punches.

Unexpectedly, one head was on the corner of the arched wall, his eyes became dizzy, and he passed out immediately.

It took a lot of effort for the guards to shovel the snow and drag Chunbao out. I don't know whether the little eunuch was knocked out or tired, so he had to drag him back to the violence room first, and then hit the board when he woke up. .

When a stick of incense sticks, there is only a mess left on the road, and half of the people can't be seen.

-

Jingxuan Palace.

The woman on the heated kang is exceptionally elegant, dressed in luxurious Sichuan brocade, leaning on the soft pillow, carrying the charm of a celestial girl, like jade and flowers.

The onion tube-like ten fingers caressed the belly more and more slowly.

On the lacquered red dining table beside me, there are several exquisite pastries in celadon plates, which are no longer warm.

Concubine Ning squinted at the maid beside her, "Zizhu—"

The broad-faced maid named Zizhu stepped forward upon hearing the words, blessed her body, "Your Majesty..."

"It's been an hour, why hasn't the emperor arrived yet..."

The palace maid lowered her eyes and said soothingly: "Little Li just now made it very clear that the emperor is coming this way after receiving the letter, maybe it was delayed by something, empress don't need to worry too much."

Concubine Ning said softly, "But it's been too long..."

The palace maid covered Concubine Ning's feet with the blanket embroidered with lotus and mandarin ducks, "Don't worry, Madam, I will send Xiao Lizi out to inquire again."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out of the inner room, before taking a few steps, he saw that the door opened, and the person who came in was none other than the popular man in front of the emperor, Xi Gonggong.

The palace maid was overjoyed, but she pulled her neck and didn't see the emperor coming in, so she understood a little in her heart, she just respectfully welcomed Xilian into the room, and said nothing more.

Seeing Xi Lian, Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, then she lifted the blanket and got up and went down to the ground, when the maid who was serving her once saw Xi Lian, she hurried up to give her a hand, and put her down from the kang.

Concubine Ning said angrily, "Why didn't the emperor notify you when he came?"

While talking, Xi Lian went into the inner room, and was terrified to see Concubine Ning like this, "Why did your majesty come out? It's cold outside, and the servant helped your majesty back to the house."

Concubine Ning put her finger on Xi Lian's stretched out wrist, and then she understood, and sighed softly, "Why didn't the Emperor come here?"

Xi Lian helped her to sit down, respectfully, "The emperor heard that the empress is pregnant, and he was thinking about the empress, and wanted to come and have a look, but the state affairs were busy, and the emperor was called back before he arrived at Jingxuan Palace. Don't ask the slaves to come over and tell the empress in person, so that the empress can rest assured to raise the baby, and the emperor will come again at another time."

Concubine Ning's eyes darkened, "The emperor is busy, so a concubine is naturally considerate. I also hope that my father-in-law will return to the emperor on my behalf. He said that my body is still in good health, so I don't need to worry about it."

Xi Lian took the command in a respectful voice, "Your Majesty is gentle and considerate, it is truly a blessing in the harem."

Concubine Ning closed her eyes, raised her hand and waved slightly, "I'm a little tired, I'll sleep for a while, you go."

Xi Lian responded, bowed and retreated, turned around and answered the question.

After Xilian left the Palace of Jingxuan, Concubine Ning slowly opened her eyes, but she was not as soft and gentle as before, she actually showed a little more stern look, "Zizhu—"

Zizhu leaned forward, "What are your orders..."

Concubine Ning narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, "The emperor didn't come to see me because of busy state affairs... Is this lame excuse trying to fool me? Since the emperor ascended the throne, this palace is the first one in the harem to be pregnant with a dragon fetus." My concubine, what a happy event this is for the emperor, how could he not come to see this palace because of government affairs..."

Zi Zhu went to see Concubine Ning, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"Go and check with Ben Gong, what's going on..."

-

Ever since Huaihuai was confined in the palace, he stayed in the room giggling like he had eaten honey for several days.

Chun Bao was dragged to the violence room and beaten thirty times. He lay on the bed all day, dying, and rarely came out to move around.

Huayu Palace seemed to be much cleaner.

It is said that the father-in-law of the day tour went into the house to clean up the bowls and chopsticks that had been delivered, but found that the food had only touched a few chopsticks, and it was cold and condensed together.

Eunuch You raised his eyes to look at Huaihuai, while tidying up, "Why don't you eat it? Is the food not to your taste?"

Huai Huai leaned beside the Kang table, smiling foolishly, as if he didn't hear it.

Eunuch You twitched his lips, "Smile can fill you up?"

Huai Huai said: "Jiang Huaijin..."

Eunuch You was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned blue, he looked around quickly, but felt something was wrong, he went out to look for a while, he saw that the little eunuch passing by the door was only hairy, then he thought no one would hear him, then he turned back house.

"Ancestor...you said this is going to lose your head..."

Huai Huai's gaze fell into the void, "Jiang Huaijin...same name as me."

Eunuch You didn't even think about it, he turned on the kang and covered Huaihuai's mouth, "You don't want to die, our family still wants it!"

After Huaihuai broke free, he continued to go up to cover, "Furthermore, why does the emperor's name have the same name as yours? It's obviously different."

Huaihuai said: "Jiang Huaijin and I are only two characters apart, so it is naturally the same name."

Eunuch You was sweating again when he heard these three words, he gathered up all his strength and went up to grab Huaihuai, Huaihuai swung his head left and right, avoiding Eunuch You's withered hands, hesitated for a while, and then grabbed Eunuch You. tight.

Eunuch You felt a pain in his wrist, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it—"

As soon as the voice fell, the voice behind him trembled, "Don't... force him."

Eunuch You looked behind them, and saw Chunbao standing behind the two of them with his hips pouted, shaking like chaff.

When Huai Huai heard this, he quickly let go, "What are you talking about?"

Eunuch You understood what he heard, and he gave Chunbao a slap in the face as soon as he got off the kang, "You talk nonsense about our family tearing your mouth, but you don't look at how old our family is, how can you force this cow?"

Chun Bao was swayed twice, one was unsteady, and he lay directly on the dining table, staring at the dish of waist flowers, his originally dark pupils suddenly shone brightly.

Eunuch You put all the dishes into the food box, "What are you looking at, our family wants to cure your glutton today."

Chun Bao's eyes were extremely disappointed, and his body trembled even more, "It hurts..."

You Gonggong said: "It hurts you, why are you shaking?"

Chunbao continued to tremble, "It seems that this can relieve some pain."

Eunuch You twitched the corner of his mouth, "You will think of a way."

Huai Huai looked at Chun Bao pouted, "What's wrong with your butt?"

Chun Bao said, "I've been hit by a board."

Huaihuai suddenly realized, "No wonder I haven't seen you for a long time."

Chunbao was very wronged, "You don't go to see me, but I miss you, and I want to come to this room to see you for the past two days, but every time I walk halfway, the pain is so unbearable. , I can only go back to recuperate, the last time I walked to the door of your house, I was hurt and went back."

Huai Huai said: "What are you going to do after you reach the door of the house, just come in and have a rest."

Hearing this, Chunbao said in a low voice, "But it's also..."

Eunuch You shook his head after hearing this crazy words, and lowered his head to collect the medicine bowl, but found that he hadn't moved, so he glanced at Huaihuai, "Why didn't you drink it?"

Huai Huai remembered the same thing, "Leave it alone, I'll drink it later."

Eunuch You lifted the food box, "Drink it while it's hot, it won't be good when it's cold."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left the house.

Chun Bao stared at the thick black concoction, clicked his tongue,

My heart was full of greed, but my mouth was hypocritical, "Did I pour it for you?"

Huai Huai said: "It happens that you have pain in your buttocks. Drinking Bubu may help."

Full of gratitude, Chun Bao drank the bowl of concoction, wiped his mouth with his coat sleeve, and suddenly changed the subject, "I don't think that man looks like a guard, he can command many people, he should be a general."

Immediately he denied it and said: "Isn't it true, the general cannot enter the harem."

Huaihuai couldn't stop the joy on his face as he thought about that person's need, "He even told me his name."

"What name?"

"Jiang Huaijin."

Chun Bao thought for a while, "It sounds familiar."

Huaihuai was overjoyed, "Have you heard of this person?"

When Chunbao was thinking about the time of the half stick of incense, his eyes suddenly lit up,

"No wonder I feel familiar. He actually has the same name as yours, but there are only two characters missing."
