The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

In the middle of the night, the shadows of trees danced in the harem, because the emperor had not set foot in the harem for a long time, and there was a little less vitality here. It was fine during the day, but it was very deserted at night.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager was deeply affected by the death of Pu Shizi, she spent the past few days chanting in the small Buddhist hall, and did not even care about the confinement of Concubine Ning.

It was approaching the third watch, and the small Buddhist hall was still brightly lit. The Empress Dowager was copying the scriptures in plain clothes. The old lady who was serving her came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest. You can copy tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "You are not sleepy yet, you can go and rest, just leave Qinghe to watch over." Qinghe is the chief maid of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and she also takes care of the Empress Dowager, and has won the Empress Dowager's trust.

"Your Majesty should also take care of your health, otherwise the son will not feel at ease in the ground, not to mention that you haven't appeared in the past few days, His Royal Highness Wu Wang misses you very much."

King Wu is the eldest son of the former prince and the only blood left by the former prince. After the prince died, he was taken to the queen mother's palace to be raised.

When mentioning her only grandson, the Empress Dowager was really moved, she stopped writing and asked, "What has Ting'er been doing these days?"

"As usual, start at Chen time, study in the morning, rest for half an hour in the afternoon and then go to learn riding and archery. However, I heard that you are praying for the son in the Buddhist hall. Your highness has insisted on eating vegetarian these days, saying that it is in memory of the son."

The Empress Dowager sighed, with a smile on her face, "This child is too capricious, how can there be any reason for him to remember it? The child is growing up, how can he not eat meat."

"Isn't it? But His Highness doesn't listen to anyone except your words."

"That's not necessarily the case. I still listen to his uncle's words very much. Even at such a young age, the emperor arranges so much homework for him, and he is not afraid of tiring the child." The queen mother seemed to complain.

The old mother naturally knew her state of mind, and said with a smile: "That just means that the emperor cares about His Highness. The Emperor has no children of his own, so he naturally cares about His Highness, otherwise he would not invite the Grand Master of Wenge and Commander Yao to teach His Highness. "

Speaking of the child, the queen mother frowned, "The emperor still hasn't come to the harem?"

The old mammy shook her head.

"What do you think is wrong with him? The imperial doctor also said that his body is fine, but why doesn't he have any ideas at this age? If he just doesn't like these women in the harem, just take in whatever he likes. That is, the past two years can be used as an excuse to be busy with government affairs, but this year the weather is smooth and there are no major events in the court, so why does he still look like he has no desires?"

Of course, the women in the harem also guessed that the emperor likes men, but they have never seen the emperor favoring men. Last year, the king of Beiling sent a violinist here, saying that he played the violin for three days, but you see Anyone who knows it will know that playing the piano is only secondary, the main thing is that face, that figure, if the emperor really likes a man, it is absolutely impossible to remain indifferent, and in the end he did not see the beauty too much.

"It's no use being anxious about this kind of thing, the emperor has to figure it out himself."

The Queen Mother rubbed the center of her brows and said: "I always feel that there is someone in his heart. Sometimes he looks distracted, as if he is lovesick. Do you think he has fallen in love with someone outside the palace for a few years?"

"Then you ask carefully, no matter who it is, if you get it into the palace, the emperor will not be so persistent after the lovesickness is relieved." The empress dowager understands the meaning of these words, and I am afraid that the other party's identity is flawed, otherwise Zhao Zhang would not be so obsessed. into the palace.

The empress dowager's head hurt even more, "The emperor has been naughty since he was a child, and Ai's family seldom restricted him. At that time, he thought that he was just an idle prince, and it was true that he might mess around, but what kind of woman would not ask for it?"

The Empress Dowager guessed several situations, and she felt that the worst would be a firework girl or a married woman. She felt that she could accept it. As long as the emperor could re-enter the harem, a woman with an inferior status was nothing, and the news could not be concealed. Just let outsiders know.

With the bottom line in mind, Empress Dowager Pu felt more at ease, went out to rest from the small Buddhist hall, asked about the situation of the Pearl Embroidery Palace before going to bed, and learned that her niece had been making trouble, she sighed and let it go.

At the beginning, despite the emperor's objection, she wanted to bring her niece into the palace. She thought that as long as she gave birth to a son and a half, the succession would be stable, but she never thought that this would be the case. After all, she was also the murderer who made her niece a widow.

In the Pearl Embroidery Palace, the two palace maids rubbed their hands nervously, looking back at the closed door with anxiety.

"My lady really wants to do this? What if..."

"There is no chance! After a while there is movement inside, you remember to run to Deputy Commander Liu and ask him to tell the emperor, and I will rush in to save people. Remember, the speed must be fast. Vice Commander Liu has accepted the benefits of the empress. Will definitely cooperate.”

"What if the emperor doesn't come?"

"Impossible. It's a matter of life and death. If the emperor doesn't come to the Queen Mother and the Pu family, he won't let it go."

Soon, there was a sudden "bang dang" sound from inside, like the sound of something falling to the ground. The two maids looked at each other and hurriedly acted according to the plan.

Zhao Zhang was about to go to sleep, he had just completed the plan written by Shen Jia, and Shen Jia opened a door for him, allowing him to have a complete train of thought.

Shen Jia inevitably thought about it for a while before going to bed, wondering what he would do after returning home, whether he went out to eat, drink and have fun with his colleagues, although the dark guards followed him all the time, but there were no special circumstances and he would not report everything, otherwise let Shen Jia know It has to be turned upside down.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something is wrong!" Director Du ran in while dressing, panting after a few steps.

"Why panic?" Zhao Zhang asked, opening the curtain.

"Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Liu begged for an audience outside the door, saying that it was Concubine Ning who just... committed suicide just now, and her life and death are unknown!"

Zhao Zhang frowned, his eyes were full of shock and anger, of course he knew that Pu Xiufang could not commit suicide, but when the news got here, he had to take it seriously, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the court and the harem.

Director Du waited on the emperor to get up and get dressed. When he first heard the news, he was frightened to death. Now that he came back to his senses, seeing that the emperor was not in a hurry, he also guessed that the matter was not as serious as imagined.

All the way to the Pearl Embroidery Palace, Zhao Zhang strode into the palace without letting anyone know. Although Concubine Ning is only a concubine, she is the biggest without a queen in the harem. This Pearl Embroidery Palace is full of luxury. The Golden House is not an exaggeration.

Zhao Zhang never interfered with the women in the harem to seek benefits for himself, and was never harsh on food and clothing. Except for not being able to give them favors and children, they were almost super-class in other aspects, but even so, it couldn't make up for it.
