Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The commander of the guards, Jiang Dapeng, hurried in and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".As soon as he knelt down, he said: "Your Majesty, your humble position is incompetent, and you failed to protect the noble concubine. It is really, it is because of the empress..."

Guo Heng snorted coldly, "Since I asked you to protect the princess, no one can let it in. You actually let people commit murder in Ninghe Palace? If there is something wrong with the imperial concubine, I will definitely not forgive you!"

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Dapeng's forehead. He has been really troubled recently, and accidents happened one after another. Should he go to the temple to worship?

Guo Heng said again: "Commander Jiang, just now the Queen's bodyguard said faithfully that when Concubine Ning Guifei was living in Meifang Garden, a strange man sneaked into the palace. You are the bodyguard commander and are in charge of guarding the palace. Is there such a thing?"

How dare Jiang Dapeng admit it?Resolutely deny it.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that a strange man sneaked into the harem? This is absolutely impossible! Ever since the night of the emperor's wedding with the princess... since then, the guards in and out of the palace have been strengthened. It is impossible for a stranger to enter the palace without Spotted by the guards."

Jiang Dapeng swallowed, it was dangerous, the emperor said that the matter should be kept secret, and he almost said bald just now.Although it is no longer a secret.

Guo Heng laughed lightly, "Chongxin, did you hear Commander Jiang's words? He said that the palace is heavily guarded and men will never be mixed in. Commander Jiang, are you sure?"

Jiang Dapeng straightened his back, and answered firmly, "The humble job is confirmed!"

"Faithful, did you hear that?"

Since loyalty has opened its mouth and there is no turning back when it is opened, it is natural to persevere to the end.

"Your Majesty, I didn't tell a single lie! There are indeed men coming and going in Meifang Garden! Maybe he is a master of martial arts, and he might be able to escape the inspection of the guards. Do you remember that time when Concubine Ning Guifei fell into the plum blossom pond? The man drank, afraid that you would find out, so he jumped into the plum blossom pond."

Jiang Dapeng stared at Zhongxin with wide eyes, "Zhongxin, what are you talking about? The palace is heavily guarded, how could there be men coming and going in broad daylight? If you are really a master of martial arts and can escape so many guards' inspections, how can you be alone?" Found it? Also, you saw a stranger entering Meifang Garden, why didn't you stop it, and why didn't you report it? Have you forgotten the duty of a guard?"

Loyalty's face blushed suddenly, and he argued: "It's not that the humble job has not been reported, the humble job is just..."

Guo Heng interrupted him, "Did anyone else see it besides you?"

Loyalty shook his head, "I'm not sure about the humble position, maybe Meng Liang, the manager of Meifang Garden, will know."

"Go pass Meng Liang over."

Meng Liang also arrived at Ninghe Palace soon, and Meng Liang categorically denied whether Concubine Ning had private meetings with men in Meifang Garden.

Concubine Ning Gui's activities in Meifang Garden must not be hidden from him.But he dare not say that he knows, it is related to the color of the emperor's hat, even a man can't stand it?If the emperor and queen blamed him for not reporting it, how would he survive?Guo Heng had confidence in his heart, and sneered,

"Faithful, did you hear that? Director Meng also said that there is nothing wrong with it. You said that Adele met a man privately, but you saw it, but you didn't report it to your superiors, and you didn't stop him. Could it be that you are with that man?" Did you let him in on purpose?"

Zhongxin had been looking at the queen non-stop just now, seeing that the queen had no intention of speaking, his heart had long been icy cold.At this time, his face was ashen-colored, and he kowtowed again and again.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true. I did see it. It was the empress who asked me to monitor Concubine Ning's every move, and I just need to report to her, so I didn't..."

When the queen heard that Zhongzhong had sold herself, she shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the queen not only did not excuse him, but also flatly denied that it was her who ordered him, Zhongxin was heartbroken.

He took a look at Zhong Zhong, and said ruthlessly: "Your Majesty, the humble and Zhong Zhong have always followed the empress, and there is not a single false word about the humble position."

Guo Heng sneered, "Loyal and loyal, you two have been following the queen, have you forgotten who is your master? Jiang Dapeng, these two are your subordinates, take them away!"

"say,,

疋.

When Jiang Dapeng gave an order, guards had already stepped forward, took Zhongxin and Zhongxin away, and took them out.

Yan didn't expect that neither Jiang Dapeng nor Meng Liang would agree with Zhongxin's rhetoric, so she was shaken in her heart. Could it be that what Zhongxin said was false?Did you lie to yourself?

Seeing that the queen didn't say a word for them, loyal and loyal was completely chilled, and didn't plead for mercy, and simply followed the guards out.Guo Heng glanced at the concubine kneeling in the yard, and said lightly: "I know what the queen does, it's none of your business. But

I don't need to think about whether any of them gossip in front of the queen and speak ill of Concubine Ning Gui, there must be!The empress is the lord of the first house, so it is inevitable that she will listen to one side and believe in another, or do something wrong. If you don't persuade me a little, will someone add fuel to the fire?Have you, you all remember, don’t be an example!I will forgive you today, if there are still people who gossip, I will not forgive any of them, you all go back! "

"Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty. The courtiers and concubines would like to obey the holy edict."

The people in the courtyard all left, only the queen and her entourage were left.

The queen's face was very ugly, she already knew that Adele's position in the emperor's heart was no longer something she could shake

But now that she has done it, she doesn't regret it.For the current plan, we can only blame Zhong Zhongzhong.

She knelt down and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, as a queen, the concubine has to supervise the concubines in the harem and make them obey the palace rules. Concubine Ning Guifei was demoted to Meifang Garden, and the concubine just asked Zhong Zhongxin to pay more attention to it." Her movement, I didn't expect Zhongxin to say that he saw a man entering and exiting Meifang Garden. This matter was related to Concubine Ning's chastity, and the concubine was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he didn't report it to the emperor immediately. Two days ago, Zhongxin said that The man has entered the Ninghe Palace again, and the concubine feels that he can no longer ignore it. Everyone must abide by the rules of the harem, let alone ruin the reputation of the emperor. The concubine is only performing the duties of the empress."

What she said was reserved, and the matter was pushed to Zhong Zhong, and she picked it all up.

Guo Heng sneered, "Queen, you are the lord of the palace, but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. After all, this harem is my harem! I have specifically explained that Concubine Ning is seriously ill, and there is no need for morning and evening sleep. No one is allowed to disturb her recuperation. , Empress, why do you disobey the decree?

"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubine is disrespectful. It's just that Concubine Ning has been sick or injured since she entered the palace. The concubine suspects that she is pretending. If every concubine in the palace is like her, then the palace What other rules are there?"

"Pretend to be sick?" Guo Heng laughed, "Queen, are you blind or deaf? Haven't you seen how thin she looks? Haven't you seen how pale her face is? She You can't even sit still, and you let her kneel in the cold wind for so long? Didn't you see that she was only wearing her underwear? You are blind, so you should have heard what the imperial doctor said? He is the old lady in the palace. You're so good, you don't even believe what he says?"

Guo Heng's voice suddenly turned cold, "You didn't see it, did you do it on purpose? Do you think that if the imperial concubine is gone, I will look at you differently? You are wrong! You should know how you, the queen, came to be! I told you a long time ago, if you can be your queen with peace of mind, I will not make things difficult for you, and if you have any other thoughts that should not be moved, I will not forgive you!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine is really dedicated to you! If Ning Guifei really has an affair with another wild man, it will be the Emperor's blood!"

Guo Heng smiled faintly, "Can I not know if Concubine Ning Guifei has cheated on outsiders? Empress, do you think that I have no eyes and ears because you are loyal and loyal? How can I hide the ups and downs of the palace from me? If Ning Gui The noble concubine has an affair with a man, do you think she can still be in my harem?"

"But your majesty, he has been loyal in the palace for many years, very loyal to this palace..."

"The empress means that she doesn't trust my hidden guards, she doesn't trust me anymore?"

Guo Heng's eyes were solid, and the queen finally lowered her head under the cold eyes.

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Queen, the last time you did that kind of thing to me, I spared you for the sake of your father and the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect that not only did you not want to repent, but your heart became more vicious, and you actually wanted the life of the noble concubine. This time, I can't spare you! Come here!"

As soon as Guo Heng said this, Yan's body swayed twice, and he was on the verge of falling.Nanny Chi hurriedly knelt down and mournfully said: "Your Majesty, you can't punish the Empress Empress, she, she is pregnant!"

"what!"

Guo Heng looked at the queen in disbelief, but remembered that night...

A smug smile appeared on the Queen's face, as if declaring victory, "Your Majesty, this concubine is finally pregnant with the Emperor's child." "You...,,

Guo Heng took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The queen is pregnant, why didn't she report it? Can the imperial doctor show it to the empress?"

Nanny Chi said: "Going back to the emperor, the empress is pregnant with her first child. She is afraid of a mistake, and within three months, she dare not say anything. Doctor Wang has already shown it to the empress. It is a happy pulse. There are more than two pulses." It's been a month."

Guo Heng stabilized his mind and eased his tone.

"Since the queen is pregnant, she should take good care of her. Jiang Dapeng!"

"I am humble!"

"Send someone to protect the empress and Kunning Palace well. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Kunning Palace. All affairs in the palace are handled by Concubine Lin Xian."

Yan's face changed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you going to put your concubine under house arrest?"

Guo Heng smiled lightly, his voice very calm.

"What is the empress talking about? You finally got pregnant, so of course you have to take good care of it. I am afraid that the empress will be exhausted. If there is something wrong with the empress, I will not be able to explain it to the empress dowager and the grand master!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Heng called out, "Commander Jiang, why don't you escort your empress back to the palace?"

"say,,

At this moment, a eunuch outside shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother is here!"

Guo Heng's expression froze, and his heart became irritable, why is the Queen Mother here again?He knew she had come for the Queen.He glanced at Yan Shi, and sure enough, he saw that she was relieved, with a look of satisfaction on her face again.
