Concubine, she rises step by step

Baohua Palace.

Sheng Yi and Zhi Xia knelt down on the futon devoutly, clasped their hands together, and prayed for the child in her belly.

The incense lingering slowly in the hall only makes people feel peaceful.

He kindly accepted the three sticks of incense handed over by the host, bowed, and put them into the incense burner himself.

"Empress, let's go for a walk." Zhixia suggested after seeing that Sheng Yi had good physical strength.

Shengyi nodded slightly.

Walking to a pavilion, Sheng Yi pointed to the people next to him, knowing that Xia understood, and sat down.

Du Hanzhang asked for a peace charm and left with a smile on his face.

Sheng Yi looked at the direction Du Hanzhang was walking in, and quietly gave Zhi Xia a look.

The two of them followed Du Hanzhang leisurely.

As expected, we arrived at Zhongcui Palace.

Du Hanzhang thoughtfully put away the peace charm and rushed into the hall with all his heart.

"I see you, noble lady." Du Hanzhang saluted.

Zhang Yazhi looked haggard, frowned slightly, and said half worried and half angry: "Didn't I say I won't let you come over?"

Du Hanzhang looked at the pink and tender third princess Li Yu in Zhang Yazhi's arms, and said lovingly: "You said that the third princess is always frightened recently, so I asked for a peace charm for the third princess to use for self-defense."

Looking at Du Hanzhang's loving eyes, Zhang Yazhi really couldn't say cruel words, but she also knew that there had been rumors in the palace recently, which were not good for Li Yu, her or Du Hanzhang, so she kept being cruel. He said cruelly, "Don't come here anymore! It's not good for others to see! I don't want to be arranged!"

Du Hanzhang's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he bowed even more fiercely and said in a low voice: "Yes! I don't dare to disturb the noble man, so I will leave this peace talisman here. I will leave first!"

Just when he turned around, Xu Shi felt uneasy and said: "If necessary, I will always be in Baohua Hall."

Zhang Yazhi looked at Du Hanzhang with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the rumors in the palace seem to be true." Zhixia sighed.

Sheng Yi did not come to a conclusion, "Go in and see what the situation is before we talk."

Zhixia said puzzledly: "It can be said that this noble lady has had a smooth journey since entering the palace. First she was supported by the Queen Mother, then she became pregnant and gave birth to the princess. Now the emperor has made the noble lady a noble man and given him a title. What else is there that I don't know about?" It’s enough to cause such a scandal!”

Sheng Yi said quietly: "Perhaps she can only ask herself..."

Just when Shenyi was about to walk in the door, he saw a group of guards rushing into Zhongcui Palace.

Looking at the situation, something doesn't feel right.

Zhixia's heart trembled, "What's going to happen?"

Sheng Yi couldn't help but feel her heart rising. She lifted her skirt and increased her stride, "Quick! Come in and take a look!"

Entering Zhongcui Palace here, I heard Zhang Chong from the Shenxing Department shouting: "Bring him back to the Shenxing Department!"

Seeing these fierce guards, Zhang Yazhi, who was usually gentle and quiet, took a step back in horror and said tremblingly: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Chong said indifferently with a look of neither sadness nor joy: "Someone reported that Du Hanzhang had evil intentions towards Zhongcuigong and had impure thoughts. I was just following orders. I hope Shugui can understand."

Zhang Yazhi's face turned red as she spoke every word. Even if she was wronged again, this was probably not a good time to resist.

Zhang Yazhi could only watch Du Hanzhang being escorted out.

Because of this move, Zhongcui Palace was already surrounded by people, and everyone looked at this "scandal" in Zhongcui Palace as if they were watching a joke.

After the guards left, Zhang Yazhi collapsed on the ground. Her eyes were full of tears. This monstrous slander did not need to be verified. The arrest of Du Hanzhang alone was a bit overwhelming for her. Even if it was nothing, it could not stop it. There are so many quiet mouths...

Such a knowledgeable and courteous person, like a magnolia, was stunned in place at this time, without any elegance and calmness... Just when Zhang Yazhi raised his eyes and looked up, he fell on Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi also looked at Zhang Yazhi, feeling only sigh in his heart.

I saw Zhang Yazhi stumbling towards Shengyi.

"Concubine Sheng! Please - please save - Du Hanzhang!" Zhang Yazhi knelt down softly, her tone was as panic as if she was in urgent need of medical treatment.

Sheng Yi looked at Zhang Yazhi and shouted loudly: "It's all gone!"

Zhixia waved her hands knowingly to disperse the crowd.

And the meddlesome person couldn't help but approach Zhixia and said with a wicked smile: "Miss Zhixia, are you catching Shu Gui and cheating?"

Zhixia Xing's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt angry, "What are you talking about? It's not chaotic enough, right? It's all gone, don't get in the way here."

After drinking like this, he became dissipated.

When there was no one around, Sheng Yi said in a low voice: "You have to hold on no matter what, there is the third princess behind you!"

The words "Three Princesses" made Zhang Yazhi feel excited and she immediately regained her senses.

Into the inner room.

"Zhixia, go and guard outside the door." Sheng Yi said solemnly.

Zhixia walked out immediately, and Xia Hong, who was beside Zhang Yazhi, also followed with worried eyes.

Sheng Yi sat down quietly and looked at Zhang Yazhi quietly.

"Sit down." Sheng Yi's voice was solemn.

Only then did Zhang Yazhi hold on to the chair and sit down.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Sheng Yi said bluntly.

Zhang Yazhi lowered her eyes and replied with a pale face: "I have not done anything to disgrace the emperor!"

Sheng Yi frowned and said, "I believe you will not do this. However, just this sentence, how can I help you?"

Zhang Yazhi still refused to speak. She looked steadily at Sheng Yi and said solemnly: "Du Hanzhang was only particularly interested in Zhongcuigong because of his fellow countrymen, but I swear that I will never do anything to disgrace the emperor." Or if there are any transgressions, please ask Concubine Sheng to make the decision for the concubines!"

Sheng Yi wanted to ask again, but Zhang Yazhi still looked like she was dead and refused to say anything. At this time, no matter how she asked, it was in vain. She had no choice but to throw a sentence to Zhang Yazhi: "I think that you are the biological mother of the third princess, so for now I believe you, but if I find out that you have something to hide, even I won’t be able to help you!”

After saying that, Sheng Yi walked out solemnly.

Zhang Yazhi slid down softly and fell to the ground. Tears gradually appeared and flowed down uncontrollably...

After Shengyi walked out of Zhongcui Palace, he went straight to the Shenxing Department.

Zhang Chong saw the kindness from a distance and greeted him respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng."

Suddenly, several wails came out.

Zhang Chong listened for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Shenyi more respectfully.

"Is there Du Hanzhang inside?" Sheng Yi asked.

Zhang Chong was startled for a moment, then nodded, "It was ordered by Concubine Degui. Someone reported that Du Hanzhang had evil intentions, and the minister was just following orders."

Sheng Yi took a deep look at Zhang Chong, "Since it is a report, it is natural that we have not confirmed whether it is true or not. Master Zhang still has to pay attention to the method and method when interrogating. Some people say that it is better to be beaten."

Zhang Chong trembled all over and replied quickly: "What the empress said is exactly what I said, and I will definitely follow it."

Then, Sheng Yi said to Zhi Xia: "Zhi Xia, go to Yuxiu Palace!"
