Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

After Mingzhu entered the room, she looked back at me immediately, and her eyes flickered with a little fear, as if—like a rabbit in a wolf's den. I thought about it and covered the door.

This time, she reluctantly let go of her heart and let out a slight sigh of relief.

The doubts in my heart grew deeper, but there was still a slight smile on his face, and he walked over and said, "Sister Mingzhu, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you."

The two sat at the table in the middle of the room. Originally, tea should be served at the etiquette, but I ca n’t do it right now, but I can only give up, but it does n’t look like she is in the mood to come and drink tea. His hands were twisted on the table, his fingertips were red, as if there was something in his heart that could not be solved.

Seeing her like this, I calmed down instead.

Did the enemy retreat?

So, she looked at her with a smile: "I don't know if Sister Mingzhu is coming to Hanshe today, what can you tell me?"

"I--"

She lifted her head and looked at me, saying nothing but stopping, a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead had condensed and dropped down drop by drop.

I felt faintly that she seemed to have something important to tell me, but she still had some scruples in her heart, as if she was still considering the pros and cons, and was indecisive. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Since Mingzhu has already arrived, let me say something directly. Even if it doesn't work, there are no six ears here, and no third person can pass it."

After listening to these words, she seemed a little bit bottomed, and looked up at me: "Well, Lord Yue, I have something here today to tell you, but-" She hesitated again, Xiao Chant: "Don't tell anyone else, if you let the concubine know that I'm here to find you and tell you these things, I will die very badly."

That being said, her face was paler than before.

After hearing what she said, I understood better. She seemed to have something important to tell me. Although Shen Rou had just used me to deal with Nangong Lizhu, she hated me, just as I did to her, it was necessary to get rid of each other. If you let her know that Pearl is dealing with me in private, I'm afraid that Pearl has ten heads and it's not enough to cut. So, I nodded in earnest: "Sister Mingzhu, rest assured, out of this room, no one knows you have been here."

"That's good, that's good." She mumbled twice, rubbing her sleeves with her sweaty forehead, and turning her head to look out the window, making sure no one was peeping, so she carefully explored Turning his head, he whispered softly, "Master Yue, you gather in the Xiandian-especially that Lord Liu, be careful."

"what?"

When I heard about the light cold, I was shocked: "What do you know?"

She said cautiously: "Yesterday, Mrs. Shen sent someone into the palace to give the concubine a spring ceremony. After she arrived, she talked to the concubine for a long time. I was serving outside and I did n’t hear much. It was just that when I went into Fengcha, I heard them say something, like-- "

"Like what?"

"It seems that this time the imperial examinations at the Tribute Academy, and the weapons and rifles of Yaowu Tower, Tai Fu was very upset. I heard that during the conversation, Lord Liu was mentioned several times."

I immediately raised my heart.

Sure enough, Shen Gongzhen was not so easy to pass. On the imperial examination site of Gongyuan, Qing Han offended Ou Yangyu first, destroying Shen Gongzhen and six fraud cases later; and in Yaowu Tower that day, he went to inform Sun Jingfei of the weapon. The tampering with him, and the fact that he has been dealing with the young and middle-ranking officials in the DPRK all the time, can be said to be too hostile to the people in the camp.

Could it be that when Shen Gongzhen prepares to take a shot, he must first deal with him? !!

Thinking of this, I hurried up and said, "What else have you heard? What are they going to do to Lord Liu?"

Ming Zhu shook her head: "I don't know about it, the mother-in-law didn't let us listen to these things."

"..." I stood by the table and bit my lower lip.

If Shen Gongzhen really wants to hit Qing Han, after all, he is just a newcomer to the North Korea. How can he fight against the powerful master?

After Mingzhu said these things, she stood up and said, "Master Yue, anyway, please be careful. I'm gone."

After that, she turned around and went out. I hurried to her: "Sister Pearl."

"Ok?"

"Why do you come and tell me?"

Strangely, she has always been Shen Rou's confidant, and she has not shown much respect to the people in Jingren Palace, and she has been with Shen Rou for so many years. It can be said that the master and servant should be in common with disgrace. Come and tell me about this. Is there any hidden feelings?

Looking at my inquiring eyes, Pearl also hesitated and said, "Master Yue, you look like a torch, and I can't say anything else. I just hope that in the future, Lord Yue, Queen, and His Royal Highness will be able to give me the pearl. All the way. "

"..."

When I heard her say, my heart snorted.

What she was talking about was me, the queen, and--deeply? When will it happen?

What do you mean?

Nian Shen is still so small that she hasn't been involved in these struggles yet, but she mentioned the day when Nian Shen was completed. Moreover, even if these battles are really involved, it is hard to tell who loses and who wins. How could she invest in us for no reason?

I said, "Pearl, isn't it-what happened to Chonghua Temple?"

When she heard this, she felt a sense of consternation, and said more cautiously, "I, I can't say."

"..."

"In short, what I said today, please don't doubt, I won't lie to you."

"..."

"Farewell."

Having said that, she opened the door, looked out, and looked around to make sure that no one was around, so she carefully walked out and went to the side of the door.

I stood in the room and kept watching her back disappear.

Mingzhu, with Shenrou entering the palace to the present, she has also been floating in this palace for many years, and naturally can see through a lot of things, know how to weigh the pros and cons. If you want her to betray her master and come to the queen, there is only one possibility. That is, here can have greater benefits than Shenrou.

But now, things haven't started yet, and she hasn't won or lost yet. Why did she come here?

Also, she just mentioned that His Royal Highness was accomplished. This sentence is very strange. It seems that this is the real reason for her to come back. Does she have any clue in the Zhonghua Palace? But the depth of thought is still so small. Even if it is true that the book of Prince Li was still in existence, Pei Yuanzhang is still in his prime, and even Master Shen is not in a hurry. When the queen and I were not on the agenda, why did she suddenly mention this?

What does it mean if deep thought really does happen?

.

The pearl is gone, but I can't sit in this narrow room. No matter if Shen Gongzhen really wants to start against Qinghan, you should tell him and let him beware!

As soon as I thought of it, I got up quickly and went out. As soon as I reached the door, the door was pushed open.

Shui Xiu stood outside the door, holding the door in one hand, while looking out, looking back and seeing that I was also standing at the door, wondering, "Master, I just saw the pearl, did she come here?"

"No."

"But look at that back, much like her."

"It might be that you read it wrong, why did she come here?"

"Well ..., yes!" Shui Xiu was very coquettish, walked in with a smile, saw me standing at the door, and said, "Why, do you want to go out? The emperor and the queen have explained to you, not to mess with you. Run. You've got another hand injury, but don't hurt it again. "

"..."

"Yes, my lord, I just came from the Royal Garden. I saw that the Fu university scholar was also in the palace. He rarely comes here."

Has Fu Basui entered the palace? I looked back puzzled: "What is he here for?"

"I don't know about this. The emperor always asks him if he has any national affairs to discuss."

My heart moved--I couldn't go out to find Qing Han, but now that Fu Bashao entered the palace, I quietly told him to let him remind Qing Han that it was also good.

When I made up my mind, I told Shui Xiu that I would only go out and breathe. Although Shui Xiu was not very relieved, but I always promised that I would not run around. I had to promise me, and I did not go out the main door. The door went out, walked around the lake for a while, and came to the side entrance of the Royal Garden. It happened that I saw the father-in-law Yu stood there to explain some of the eunuchs.

When he saw me, he immediately greeted: "Master Yue, you are--"

I saluted with a smile, and said, "Father Jade, I heard that Fu University scholars are also in the palace?"

"Well, talk with Banzai inside."

"Oh ... can I go in?"

Yu Gonggong's savvy eyes glanced at me and thought for a while, and said, "Your words, you weren't afraid, but-you should always be careful."

I nodded and thanked him and entered the arch. These days the weather has warmed and the snow has melted. The branches under the white snow in the Royal Garden have faintly appeared some new green. Not afraid of snow and ice, prosperity.

I walked in, and after a corridor, I saw two people sitting in the pavilion in front of each other.

It was Pei Yuanzhang and Fu Baji.

However, Fu Bazhen's eyes-how can he play chess?

I was puzzled and walked a few steps carefully, only to see that the chessboard was full of blacks. At this time, a long dragon had been connected to the chessboard, and there were no chess pieces in the other blank spaces.

this is--?

Fu Bazhen sat opposite the emperor, facing me, squinting his white beard with a narrow squint, and smiled, "Right six to eleven."

Six right and eleven? I frowned, I had to step on my feet subconsciously, but I was a little far away, I couldn't figure out exactly which step, but according to him, it should be the position of the top right corner near the dragon head-it turned out that he was playing blind chess .

Although I looked at him with a pleasant expression, Wei Yan's eyes showed a clear light.

Pei Yuanzhang picked up a sunspot, lowered it, and said in the mouth, "Five to ten."

Upon hearing this, Fu Baxi immediately smiled with a beard, "Emperor, the emperor has already passed this step before. If you go again-Changlong will be in the suit."

"..."

Pei Yuanzhang immediately looked down, and when I looked away, I found that the empty place on the chessboard was actually a set, and the emperor's long dragon had already entered the set.

Pei Yuanzhang smiled and threw the pieces back into the chess box: "It seems that it is time to play chess. Ai Qing is really high."

Fu Bazhen also smiled: "It is the emperor's mind, not in this chess game."

He said the word "this" a bit more, and Pei Yuanzhang listened, as if smiling again, and stood up. I thought he was going to turn around and hurriedly took a step back to the side of the tree, but saw him only casually. Waved his sleeves, took a few steps towards the water corridor with a negative hand, and suddenly "snapped", stopped and went down, picked up a wooden board on the ground, there seemed to be a nail on it, and frowned suddenly. : "It's getting more and more unruly, the nailed boards are even littered everywhere!"

Fu Bazhen smiled, still sitting at the table, with one hand touching the chessboard lightly, as if still pondering Pei Yuanzhang's chess path just now, while laughing: "The emperor is upset, but that nail? "

"..." Pei Yuanzhang froze and looked back at him.

"Although this nail is not harmful, it was nailed here and pierced the emperor, so the emperor didn't want to keep him, did he?"

Pei Yuanzhang looked at him, and then looked down at the gaze in his hands, his eyes calmed, and said, "It's just that I have to remove this nail now. It's not long before I'm afraid it will hurt people. Destroyed. "

"The old man understands that the emperor is unwilling to hurt the jade bottle in order to hit the mouse."

"..."

"Furthermore, the mouse is good at fighting, but the tiger is not so good at playing. Don't move the tiger to fight the mouse."

When I heard this sentence, I suddenly murmured.

Don't move the tiger game just to hit the mouse, that is to say-the tiger game is already in the game?

Fu Bazhen was thinking of the crutches sent by him, slowly got up and groped, walked to the emperor, and stretched out his hand. Pei Yuanzhang glanced at him, handed him the wooden board in silence, and Fu Bazhen carefully touched that A wooden board, his finger touched the nail, it seemed to be pierced, he laughed: "Hehe, it really is a bit of a hand."

"..."

"The emperor, if you don't destroy things, and don't let this nail hurt people, it is not impossible."

"Oh?"

He held the template and said with a smile: "Emperor, when he was young, he wandered into the market. He has seen many rivers and lakes performers do some tricks, one of which is called a broken stone in his chest. I don't know if the emperor has seen it."

"Broken chest?"

"Well, there are hundreds of nails on a wooden board. It looks very scary. The entertainer lays down, puts a large slate on his chest, and hammers it. The slate is broken into powder, but the person's back has no No damage. "

"Oh?!"

Pei Yuanzhang grew up in the palace since he was a child. Although he has experienced many strong winds and waves, he may not have seen such tricks. Hearing Fu Bashen's words, it is a bit of a shock. Fu Bashen laughed: "So if the emperor wants this nail Can't hurt people, why not nail another nail on the board? "

"Same nail?" Pei Yuanzhuang groaned, reached out to take over the gaze, and looked at the nail, thoughtfully.

"If you're not assured that he will hurt you, you might as well add a piece to him."

As he said, he reached over the board.

There was a flash of light in Pei Yuanzhang's eyes. He looked like he understood something, looked up at him, and smiled, "The college scholar really has great wisdom."

"Oh, it's just some tricks." Fu Bazhen smiled. "Lao Shi is going to the palace today to accompany the emperor to play chess. Since the emperor has no intention to play, the old man will retreat, and the emperor will not handle the state affairs."

Pei Yuanzhang was still thinking about what was going on. Hearing that he was leaving, he said, "The bachelor is leaving? That person will send the bachelor."

"No need, no need. The old man still remembers the time to come, no need to bother others."

Having said that, he saluted the emperor and turned away.

I've been standing not far, seeing him go to the other side of the Royal Garden, and after thinking about it, he didn't pass, but went around a road and went there, my footsteps were faster than him, standing on the left After waiting for a while, I saw him holding a wooden stick and pointing all the way slowly.

As soon as I walked by the side of the road, I heard him laugh: "It's been a long time."

I snapped: "You know?"

Fu Bazhen smiled, and his thin face was covered with mild wrinkles, and smiled: "If your eyes are inconvenient, and if your ears are deaf again, it will be really hard to go old."

"..."

Although he was still smiling, I really didn't have the mood to listen to him and just laughed. I just stepped forward: "Recently Jixian Temple, has nothing happened?"

"Ji Xiandian?" His white eyebrows frowned. "What's the matter?"

From this perspective, Shen Gongzheng has not yet started.

I was relieved and looked around again. Originally, he and the emperor were playing against each other in the Royal Garden. The father-in-law must have made arrangements. There should be no outsiders around, but I still carefully examined it and said, " You, and him, be careful. "

"He?" Fu Bazhen thought for a while, his voice lowered: "You said--that kid?"

I nodded: "Although I'm not sure if someone really wants to fight against him, it's just that he's got a lot of limelight recently." Since the imperial examinations in Gongyuan, he has always been on the cusp of the wind, and it is also Pei Yuanzhang He intentionally reused promotion. In the second place, he was indeed too young and vigorous. Although the examination was over, many people in Beijing were talking about this young official who was not afraid of the power and the law, but in the eyes of another group of senior officials, That's not the case at all.

After listening to it, Fu Bashen sneered, "He's right, he can't say it, the old man has to go back and fight."

"what?"

As soon as I heard it, I was anxious: "Why do you hit him?"

"Why, how expensive is he to fight?"

I know that Fu Bajiu taught and taught in his whole life. He is known as a Shu Confucian master, but he is not perfect, and he also has an unpleasant problem that is that he loves to hit students. Until now, teachers at Xishan College have called students Still never softened, broken bones and broken bones are trivial matters, that is, vices passed down from him.

Unexpectedly, he actually brought it to the capital.

"Anyway, he is also the captain of the light car enshrined by the emperor. He is a member of the court. How can he still fight like he said in the academy?"

"Hum, don't fight, can you tell me why?"

After Fu Bashen said it, he didn't even feel like saying a few words to me. He waved his hand and turned away with a cane.

I stood in place, originally full of anxiety, but at this moment I was a little bit crying and laughing. After a while, I sighed gently and turned to prepare to go back.

Who knew that when he turned around, he saw the other side of the Royal Garden, and Pei Yuanzhang stood there, looking at me silently, across a branch of white cedar.
