The cold king of the concubine

Chapter 136 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind 2
"Sure enough, it's still a place, son! It's such a useless thing! Two years in the mansion have been guarded in vain! If this continues, what do you expect in this life?" Empress Li said with sharp eyes and a cruel voice.

Cen Yingzhi kowtowed to the ground again, and said in trepidation: "Damn the concubine! The concubine is useless! I didn't get the prince's attention, and I haven't been favored even once, so I'm still dead."

Shame on her!In the past two years, I couldn't find a chance to seduce the prince.To be exact, except for the sudden glance at her today, the prince has never looked at her at all on weekdays, maybe he has forgotten the existence of her side concubine long ago.

"Hmm." Empress Li said eccentrically, "You really deserve to die! Qiye is just a man. How long has it been since the seventh concubine got started? Why did you get Qiye's favor? But you have wasted two years in vain. Everything , You have to fight for it yourself, use your brains, opportunities are always there, but some people are so stupid that they don’t know how to make good use of them.”

"Yes! The concubine is stupid. I still hope that my mother will teach me!" Cen Yingzhi lay on the ground, kowtowed, not even daring to lift her head.

Empress Li stood up and said coldly, "Send me back to the palace."

"Farewell to your mother!" Cen Yingzhi said in a trembling voice, laying her head on her hands and knocking on the ground, she was so shocked that she couldn't breathe.

After a while, she suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, and then she raised her head, but where was the shadow of the empress?Only Nanny Zhang who was beside the queen stayed behind, looked at her coldly, and said, "Tonight is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't take advantage of it, you may never expect to have a good life in this life." Already!"

"Ah! I also ask Mammy Zhang to give me some advice! If Zhi'er is lucky enough to be favored, I will never forget Mammy's advice." At this moment, Cen Yingzhi felt vaguely that this Nanny had something to say to her.She hurriedly took off a jade pendant from her body, stuffed it into Nanny Zhang's hand and said, "Zhi'er has nothing precious at the moment, this jade pendant is a filial piety to Mammy, it's just a small thing, don't be disgusted with it gone."

This piece of nanny is one of the celebrities around the queen, of course it represents the meaning of the queen.

Sure enough, this nanny wrinkled her old face, twisted her mouth and said: "Look at you, you are so pitiful. Now that you have got your mother's attention, this old servant will teach you a way! As for whether you can make it or not, it's up to you." Here you go, come here with your ears." She put away the jade pendant with an old face.

"Yes! Thank you, Mammy, for teaching me!" Cen Yingzhi hurriedly got up from the ground, put her ears into Mammy Zhang's mouth, and listened carefully.

After only listening for a while, Cen Yingzhi's small eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she heard.

However, after Madam Zhang finished speaking, she said to her: "Don't you think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you? Whether you want to grasp it or not is up to you!"

After Zhang Zhang finished speaking, the old lady turned around with a blank expression and stepped out of the threshold.

However, Cen Yingzhi was dumbstruck, dumbfounded, her eyes were wide open, and her head was buzzing!
Why had she never thought that she would do anything, just to be favored by the prince for one night?Otherwise, day after day, long night, how lonely!If there are no offspring, then the rest of her life will be even more hopeless!

However, she had thought about it a lot, but she never thought that she would win the prince's favor in such an environment!However, after being stunned, she felt that this was indeed her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!Her father is the minister of punishment!In the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice, who doesn't listen to her father?Tonight, Master Qi was in the Ministry of Justice, spending a long night alone, and Princess Qi didn't come back with Master Qi for some reason, so... if she...

So, in a flash of thought, she quickly accepted the instruction from that Nanny Zhang, and hurriedly went there.

At that time, the sun was already slanting towards the west, and in more than an hour, the sun was going to set.Fortunately, there is one thing that she doesn't need to worry about, and that is Mei, medicine.

That was something she had prepared a long time ago, and she had always wanted to use it on the prince, but, in the past two years, she hadn't had a single chance.hehe!Tonight, maybe God help her too!

At this moment, since she had the Queen's order, she became more courageous.Although she couldn't figure out why the Empress Dowager wanted to help her, but for the sake of the future, she decided to go all out!She thought, maybe, the queen simply doesn't like the seventh princess!
When the queen returned to her palace, it was dusk, and she asked Fan Xiwen beside her, "What's the matter with the emperor? Why didn't the prince come to see the palace after he greeted the emperor?"

The eunuch Fan Xiwen next to her was a little bit expectant and Ai Ai said: "Today, the emperor has only Eunuch Lu by his side. Eunuch Li has been sent out all the time. It is said that after the prince met the emperor, for some reason, he was fined to sit in front of the ancestral tablets of the past generations to think about the past." Already!"

"What? Why didn't you inform me earlier about such a thing?" Empress Li was startled, and the tea in her hand almost spilled out, "Then, what about the eighth master who entered the palace with him?"

Fan Xiwen bowed and said: "Eighth Lord left before the prince. The prince was punished only after Eighth Lord left. It's not that the slave didn't want to inform the empress, but it's because the empress went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Second, the news The slave also knew about it too late. Eunuch Li sent someone to notify the slave after he had completed the matter that the emperor had instructed him to do."

"Is there no news about why the emperor punished Zun'er?" Empress Li's face became more and more ugly, as if a catastrophe was imminent.She had a bad premonition, and her heart was beating suddenly.

It's all because Feng Yuanzun has just come back from danger, the emperor has no reason to detain him and not let him report to his mother and queen that he is safe, right?Unless he made an unforgivable mistake.However, what colossal mistake would he make?To be punished to kneel at the ancestors?What's more, this news is still blocked by the emperor, even her people don't know about it.

At this time, Fan Xiwen made the situation worse again, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The slave had already sent someone to make up a temporary song for the children on the street to sing. Who knows, the ballad has been completely tampered with." Yes, the content..."

"What's wrong with the content?" Queen Li asked again in surprise.

"The content was originally aimed at the seventh master, but changed to be aimed at the crown prince and eighth master." Fan Xiwen lowered his head as much as he could.

"Useless stuff! Such a trivial matter can't be done well! What's the use of you? Not enough success, more failure." Empress Li suddenly felt restless. For the past few days, nothing seemed to go her way. .

"Yes! The slave has already sent someone to correct it, but it has been twisted repeatedly." Fan Xiwen was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat.At this moment, he finally felt that what the Empress Empress said was right.Qi Ye's wings are already abundant, and his influence has spread all over the capital, and even penetrated into every street corner.

Empress Empress stood up with a "shoo" and said: "I am going to see the emperor and ask Ming Zun'er what big mistake I have made! Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating tonight."

Fan Xiwen said: "However, the emperor gave orders early tonight, and no one will be seen."

"Is there such a thing?" The empress sat down on the imperial concubine's couch and stayed for a while, her face turned pale, and then she said: "Bring me a big cloak, I must go for a walk in person!"

"Yes!"

It was getting late, and under the mysterious sky, palace lanterns were lit up everywhere in the palace.

Inside a soft bridge, Empress Li was very anxious. She was originally a person who designed others, but at this moment, she felt as if she had fallen into a trap, and urged the person who carried the bridge: "Hurry up!" point!"

Qiao Fu is actually very fast, and he still has good internal strength.Where the soft bridge passed by, the guards of the night guard and Ouchi guards were either standing at their posts like puppets, or they were patrolling, walking around.

When the queen's soft bridge passed a garden, in the distance, hidden among the flowers, a black shadow quickly disappeared.This black shadow avoided all the imperial guards and Ouchi guards, jumped in the darkness, and quickly came to a courtyard.

This courtyard, faintly visible in the night, is the Yong'an Palace of the Empress Dowager Jiang Cizhen.

Yong'an Palace.

In a room decorated like a Buddhist hall, a gleaming Guanyin Buddha statue is enshrined on an altar.At this moment, in front of the altar, the ground was covered with white carpet, and on a soft ball on the mat, sitting cross-legged was the empress dowager Jiang Cizhen, who was dressed very plainly.

She held a string of Buddha beads in her hand, kept turning the beads one after another, and said something in her mouth: "Guanzizai Bodhisattva, for a long time, walks the deep prajna paramita, and sees that the five aggregates are empty, and overcomes all hardships. It is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form...so the Prajna Paramita mantra..."

At this moment, a black figure came in, walked to her side, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, everything has been settled! Just now, the queen's soft bridge passed by and hurried towards the ancestral hall of Feng's ancestors."

Empress Dowager Jiang recited a few more Paramita mantras: "Well, then Wang Qing is also willing to change his confession?"

The man in black said: "Yes!"

Seeing that the man in black was still there, Empress Dowager Jiang asked, "What do you want to say?"

The man in black said: "Yes... the crown prince Feng Yuanzun confessed to the emperor that he killed those people! He was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall of his ancestors. The emperor ordered that no one should approach him."

"Where is Xiao Qi?"

"Xiaoqi's side will be fine. The queen doesn't dare to kill people in the punishment department. Even if it's torture, no one dares to torture Qiye without the emperor's command."

"Well, we can wait until dawn to talk about everything! That child has also grown up, even more than Aijia imagined. It's time! If the ancestor's country is handed over to Zun'er, Aijia is not at ease. But If it is handed over to Xiao Qi, the Ai family can really let go!"

After the queen mother finished speaking, she began to recite again: "There is no ignorance, nor the end of ignorance, and even no old age and death, nor the end of old age and death. There is no suffering to destroy the way, no wisdom and no gain, because of the income..."

Prison prison.

A light like a bean reflected the prison of the Ministry of Punishment indistinctly, which looked extremely strange.Although Feng Yuanyu was imprisoned, the cell was rearranged.Originally, no matter who it was, they could only sleep on grass when they were locked up inside.But at this moment, not only is there no grass, there is also a red felt in the corner, with a square quilt on it.

Cen Dong, the servant of the Criminal Department, did not know how many times he apologized to Feng Qiye, and how many times he explained at the same time that he was acting in accordance with the law and had to do it as a last resort.According to the usual practice, the Ministry of Punishment must sort out the case clearly before handing it over to the emperor the next day.During this period, because Feng Yuanyu himself confessed to the murder, he had to be kept in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
