That's the same thing in the palace, the powerful don't necessarily have a high status, and the high status doesn't necessarily call the wind and rain. If you want to save face, the key is to see if you are following the right person.

Cui Wensheng is undoubtedly the right person, and his serious ministry is the eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, from the rank of six grades. But he dared to confront the celebrant eunuchs, and his confidence was nothing more than the trust of the concubine Niangniang to him. If there was no concubine Niangniang to support him, he would not dare to fight with those ancestors even if he ate ten more leopards.

There is news that the concubine Niangniang has already blown the wind in the emperor's place, and in two or three years, Cui Wensheng will be added to the eunuch Ren Bingbi. The emperor has no opinion, for so many years, except for the position of the crown prince, he really can't fight, and the other requests of the concubine Niangniang, the emperor has never refused.

Concubine Zheng didn't make a special trip to Ciqing Palace to see Concubine Wang Gong today, but just came out of the Queen Mother and passed by Ciqing Palace, remembering that Concubine Wang Gong was imprisoned by her husband, and her mother-in-law mentioned her again just now, so she wanted to see how Concubine Wang Gong was doing.

For her mother-in-law, Concubine Zheng Guifei also respected her face and complained in her heart. Not for anything else, just because the queen mother looked down on her from the beginning, and has always been the staunchest supporter of the eldest grandson Zhu Changluo. At the beginning, if it weren't for the queen mother's words, the emperor who had dragged on for so long would not have fulfilled the wish of the foreign court and made the emperor's eldest son the crown prince.

It can be said that a queen mother and a queen are the two most insurmountable mountains for Zheng Guifei to fight for the country.

Both women have one trait in common – they don't die when they are old.

Whoever dies will take a dramatic turn for the better.

Back then, after her husband's appointment of her eldest son Chang Luo as the crown prince was issued, Concubine Zheng Guifei once hugged her son Chang Xun and cried bitterly, crying to death, crying miserably, which made people unbearable.

After Wanli found out, he didn't comfort Concubine Zheng because he was also in pain.

The pressure of his mother is something that he, the emperor, cannot bear.

Eight years have passed, and the past has long been scattered in Concubine Zheng's heart, and she has no ambition now, all she wants is to make her son's life better.

It's just that the knot in my heart can't be untied.

Therefore, she was reluctant to see her mother-in-law, and she never met the one in Kunning Palace. But due to etiquette, she had to visit her mother-in-law every month.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet, what is there to say, in the words of the people of Cining Palace, it is that the two wooden people are polite to each other, and then they are gone. At most, he sat there awkwardly and said a few words about his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

This grandson is Zhu Changxun, the son of Zheng Guifei, and the great-grandson is naturally Zhu Changxun's son Zhu Yousong, who was born two years ago.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Li doesn't want to see Concubine Zheng, she still recognizes her grandson and great-grandson.

It's just that this bit of family affection is far from enough to make up for the rift between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the end, the queen mother was tired, and the concubine retired.

When Concubine Zheng was leaving, the Queen Mother inadvertently mentioned Concubine Wang Gong, and Concubine Zheng wanted to come to Ciqing Palace to have a look.

After reprimanding Cui Wensheng, Concubine Zheng Guifei saw that the palace door was closed, so she asked Xu Yingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, to open the door and invite Concubine Wang Gong to come out to see her.

She didn't want to enter this cold palace, and she didn't like the old mother very much. Although her own son failed to fight for the other party's son, and she also rested on the desire to fight for the prince, but after all, she is a woman, and Zheng Guifei still wants to put her imperial concubine score in front of this old mother.

"Wait a minute, the slave will go in and pass it on!"

Xu Yingyuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door of the palace and went in, but after a while, he came out cautiously and said to Zheng Guifei: "Back to the concubine's words, Concubine Wang Gong's body is a little uncomfortable, and she can't come to see the concubine." ”

"Really?" Concubine Zheng Guifei was noncommittal, she had actually guessed this ending.

Cui Wensheng raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "You call her out immediately, otherwise you will all be sent to Jingle Hall!" ”

Jingle Hall is a place in the palace that specializes in incinerating the bones of palace eunuchs, and that place is perennially gloomy, and it is a more terrible place in the palace than the cold palace and the Huanyi Bureau.

Xu Yingyuan was unlucky enough to send it from the Si Jian to the cold palace, and then called it to Jingle Hall, then he would have no place to turn over, and his face turned white with fright, and he hated this Cui Gonggong, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he was going to go in and drag Concubine Wang Gong out.

He really wanted to drag Concubine Wang Gong out, because he knew that even if he was disrespectful to Concubine Wang Gong, no one would trouble him. At least, no one dares if the emperor is in one day.

The cold palace has already reflected the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Wang Gong. Those of them who are subordinates only need to do what the emperor wants.

Concubine Zheng frowned, she was not very happy with Cui Wensheng's tone, it was easy to give people the feeling that she was a domineering concubine. But, after thinking about it, he didn't speak. She really wanted to see what became of the prince's biological mother, who used to be called her old mother.

Is it still the same as back then, the poor palace man looks, or has he really become old, haggard, and unrecognizable.

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you go with me to invite Concubine Gong."

Xu Yingyuan glared at the little eunuch who was still kneeling stupidly on the side, and without saying a word, he was about to go in and drag Concubine Wang Gong out.

This little eunuch's name is Wang Chengen, and at the age of six, he asked his family to send him to the capital to clean his body, and he asked someone to send him to the palace. However, because there is no money and no one to support, he has always been a small fireman, and he was arranged to see the gate in this cold palace two years ago.

To Xu Yingyuan's surprise, Wang Chengen did not move, still kneeling there.

"Let's go in!"

Xu Yingyuan thought that Wang Chengen didn't hear clearly, so he urged again, but Wang Chengen still didn't move. This time, not only him, but also Zheng Guifei and others also saw that something was wrong.

"Do you really want to go to Jingle Hall to retire?"

Cui Wensheng is on fire, although he Cui Gonggong's words can't be the words of the concubine, but he is also a person in the inner court, this little fire is stupid, dare to stand up to him?

"Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Gong Niangniang is indeed unwell, she has been lying down these days, and no one from the hospital has come to take a look, the slave maid is worried that Concubine Gong Niangniang will come out, in case..." Wang Chengen's voice was very small, and he could hear that he was very scared when he said these words.

"Hey!"

Cui Wensheng was happy, he didn't expect that there would be a loyal servant in the cold palace, this is not possible, why did the emperor imprison Concubine Wang Gong in the cold palace, didn't he want her to die early.

I was trying to let people clean up this small fire, so that the people of Ciqing Palace would know the emperor's intentions, so as not to be crooked, thinking that if they could burn the cold stove of Concubine Wang Gong, they would be prosperous and rich in the future.

Just about to speak, Concubine Wang Gong walked out of the palace, she came out alone, holding a silver kettle in her hand, and there was no palace person to support her.

"Zheng Gui'er, did you come to see me dead or not?" Concubine Wang Gong held on to the door of the palace and looked at Concubine Zheng coldly.

Zheng Gui'er is the name of Zheng Guifei, and her father is a butcher, what good name can she give her. However, Concubine Zheng Guifei was not angry at all because Concubine Wang Gong called her name, but showed her snow-white teeth and smiled brightly at Concubine Wang Gong, and said, "You look pretty good, not like a person who has been sick for a long time." ”

"If you come to see if I'm dead or not, you can go back now."

Concubine Wang Gong's hair was half white, her face was also full of wrinkles, her hands were also covered with calluses, and the silver pot she was holding in her hand had already lost its luster, and it was still damaged in several places.

Zheng Guifei noticed that Concubine Wang Gong's eyes didn't seem to have good eyesight, she squinted when she looked at people, and her eyes were very red. She sighed softly, she really had a little domineering idea before, but now, it has disappeared.

"Can't I talk to my sister and talk about my thoughts? Everyone is the emperor's woman, why do you reject me so far away? When Concubine Zheng said this, her expression was complaining and her tone was soft, and people who didn't know her would treat her as a complaining little daughter-in-law.

"I am a lowly person, and I am not worthy of the imperial concubine's thoughts."

Concubine Wang Gong twisted her head, her eyesight is very bad now, and she can't see the specific appearance of Concubine Zheng clearly, but it's okay to see this woman's face.

"Sister, don't say that, if you say it again, my sister won't feel good." Concubine Zheng Guifei was a little aggrieved, and it was not her intention that things had developed to this point, but what their husband meant.

"You don't have to cry a cat and fake mercy... If you are truly merciful, please tell your majesty that my son may come and see me. ”

After Concubine Wang Gong finished speaking, she wanted to go back, but her body shook and she was a little unsteady on her feet. Wang Chengen, the little flame man who had been kneeling there, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, not caring at all about the gaze of Gonggong Cui behind him.

"You, good." Concubine Wang Gong looked at the teenage little eunuch, and felt a little warm in her heart, "Accompany me to fetch a pot of water." ”

"Hey, sis."

Wang Chengen took the silver pot from Concubine Wang Gong's hand, ignored the eyes of the palace eunuchs under Concubine Zheng Guifei in the rear, and helped Concubine Wang Gong to walk slowly to the palace.

"Mother, do you want it?" Cui Wensheng asked in a low voice, as long as the concubine spoke, he would send the little fire person to hell.

"No need."

Concubine Zheng sighed lightly, Cui Wensheng was stunned, didn't dare to speak, and stepped aside.

Concubine Zheng stood there in a daze, looking at Concubine Wang Gong and the figure of the little flame man who disappeared in front of her step by step, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, she exhaled and asked Cui Wensheng with a side face: "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

Cui Wensheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in Diaoyutai." ”

Concubine Zheng chuckled: "He's so interested." ”

Cui Wensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Niangniang really wants to tell Your Majesty?" ”

"Mouthy." Concubine Zheng Guifei glanced at Cui Wensheng with some displeasure.

Cui Wensheng was stunned, hurriedly lowered his waist, slapped himself, and said, "The slave is speechless!" ”

"Okay, I didn't say anything." Concubine Zheng shook her head and said, "Let's go, go and see if Your Majesty is catching a big fish." ”

Cui Wensheng hurriedly ordered to go down, and the eunuchs of the palace surrounded Zheng Guifei and went to Diaoyutai.

After everyone left, Xu Yingyuan felt that his body was light, and the atmosphere just now was too depressing.

No, I can't stay in this palace any longer, I have to catch Gonggong Qiu quickly.
