Chapter 548 Meeting the Concubine
The cold palace is an existence that no one cares about all the year round. Even if the owner here is replaced by the emperor's biological mother, no one has seen it except for the maid who delivered the meals in the past month.

Concubine Bo is indeed due to her status as the emperor's birth mother, and she lives a different life from the concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace.

Her food was comparable to that of a royal concubine. Although the decoration in this cold palace is not very good, the clothes are still very expensive, but it is not as good as what she had in the concubine's palace.

So the two maids specially sent to serve her were also very smart and diligent, and they did not dare to disrespect Dowager Bo.

They continued to talk quietly.

"Now the concubine does not punish the maids at will. In the past, the servants of the concubine's palace often disappeared. I don't know how many people disappeared. I heard that all of them were disposed of."

"Don't talk about it, the concubine's temper will change whenever she beats and punishes us in the past month."

After these words, there was no sound in the room.

Eunuch De looked at the emperor and found that the other party did not look displeased, so he said: "The emperor is here!"

The two maids who had just finished speaking were so frightened that they almost threw the needles and threads out of their hands.

They hurried to see the dowager sleeping in the inner room, and as soon as they entered, they found that the dowager empress had already woken up, and her eyes were looking at the two maids with deep meaning.

The two maids were startled, they were very quiet when they spoke, could it be that the emperor and the concubine heard it?

A sense of desperation enveloped them, and just when they were about to kneel down and beg for mercy, Princess Bo said displeasedly: "Get over here and dress this palace! Didn't you hear that the emperor is coming! One stays here , one invites the emperor to come in and sit down, the wind outside is so strong that the emperor's dragon body cannot be blown for long."

The two maids were still worried, and the waiter hurriedly got up to dress the concubine.Those who went to open the door quickly went to invite the emperor into the hall.

Concubine Bo didn't wear any rouge or powder at night, anyway, it was her son who came, not the late emperor, so she no longer had to serve the late emperor in fear.

As soon as Murong Hao opened the door, he saw a court lady kneeling on the ground to pay her respects, shouting: "Your Majesty, my servant, my Majesty, long live my Majesty, long live my Majesty."

With a trembling voice, coupled with her thin body, she looked extremely pitiful.

Murong Hao's eyes were no longer so severe, he stepped in and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Where's the concubine?" Murong Hao didn't see the figure of his mother and concubine, so it was naturally the little maid who just got up, when he asked, the little maid who just got up fell to her knees again.

The maid lowered her head and said anxiously: "Go back to the emperor, the empress dowager is in the room, she will come right away."

Normally, Murong Hao would not be interested in a timid court lady, but after listening to the conversation between the two of them outside the door, he can naturally tell that this court lady is the one who just told the other court lady not to talk.

He didn't find a chair to sit down, but just stood in front of the maid and said, "You keep kneeling because you don't want to make tea for me?"

The court lady desperately looked down at the hem of the clothes that was close at hand, which was embroidered with dragon patterns, and only one person in the whole Daqi could wear it.

After listening to the emperor's words, I was terrified.It is not right to get up immediately, nor is it to kneel still.

Murong Hao saw her fear and didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. What kind of tyrant did he do?Let the slaves in the harem be afraid of this.This is beyond the scope of respect.

He glanced at Eunuch De, Eunuch De understood, and ordered out loud: "The emperor told you to get up, why don't you get up and make tea?"

The maid thanked her and got up to prepare tea. At this time, Concubine Bo had already dressed and came out of the room. Her clothes were still made of good quality fabrics, but she was sent to the cold palace after all, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to give her too much attention. Too gorgeous material.

Concubine Bo didn't wear any powder, and her hair was simply tied up, which was a big change from before. Murong Hao felt that his mother and concubine had suffered in the cold palace.

Concubine Bo didn't realize it, her eyes were moist as she looked at her son.

It was too deserted here, so deserted that she didn't dare to sleep deeply every night, it was very light sleep.She felt that her son was a little strange, and even felt that many people were strange, and they all had the same indifferent face.

When facing the servants, she can still scold them with a straight face, but in the dead of night, there are always many people around her, countless around her, or pressing on her, she can't move , They are all calling the empress dowager, empress dowager.

Those hideous faces with blood and tears were not human. They would scratch her face, beat her with a whip, and choke her neck.

Every time she thought she was going to die, she struggled to get rid of those people but disappeared in an instant, and when she closed her eyes when she was a little sleepy, those people came again.

Horrible, she knew that she was haunted by ghosts, Dowager Bo thought this cold palace was not clean, she wanted to live here at all, but it was also dangerous outside, the guards at the gate of the palace all had the same face, expressionless , looked at her ferociously.

She didn't dare to go out, and she didn't want to stay here. She was in a trance during the day and fearful at night.

But at this moment, her son is here. Her emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and the true destiny is supreme. With him around, those demons and ghosts will not dare to appear again!

Murong Hao didn't know what Concubine Bo was thinking, he only knew that he, a domineering concubine mother, had lost a lot of weight at this time and looked haggard, looking very complicated.

"Mother concubine."

Concubine Bo's tears fell silently, and she said with trembling voice: "Emperor, don't be angry, mother and concubine will never say those things that make you unhappy, okay?"

After speaking, he looked at him carefully, as if he was going to admit his mistake as soon as he saw Murong Hao showing dissatisfaction.

Murong Hao's heart twitched, how could his concubine become... so cautious.

He tried his best to relax his facial expression, showed a smile, stepped forward and took Bo Taifei's cold hand and said: "Mother Concubine, I shouldn't be angry with you, today is your birthday, don't you remember?"

"Birthday?" Concubine Bo was a little unconscious from the torment these days, so she still remembered that today was her birthday.

Thinking back to the past years, when her birthday was not a special event, those dignitaries gave her gifts and licked their faces to curry favor with her.Now that she is nesting alone in this remote place, is she still the emperor's mother and concubine?

Thinking of this, tears of grievance flowed down my heart again.

Murong Hao hurriedly coaxed her, motioning for Eunuch De to take action.

Eunuch De first gave a flattering smile, and then said: "Miss Taifei, you see, the emperor has always remembered your birthday, and specially made some of your favorite dishes, and came here to congratulate you personally.

Concubine Bo didn't think there was any point in eating a few dishes just for her and her son. There was no excitement about holding a banquet.But she was able to survive in the first emperor's harem, it's a lie that she doesn't have any skills.

Even if she didn't like it in her heart, she still showed a very moved look on her face. She held Murong Hao's hand, and said with tears shining: "The emperor still remembers my birthday, but I don't remember it. The emperor who is so cold I have come here in person, I am interested. The concubine mother is very happy..."

At the end, I also sobbed a few times.

Murong Hao asked Eunuch De to put the food on the table, helped Concubine Bo to sit down at the table, and said, "Concubine Mother has been suffering for a while, are you hungry? Let's eat something first."

When Dowager Bo heard Murong Hao say that she had suffered recently, she knew in her heart that there was something to be done leaving the cold palace, no matter how stiff the two mother and son had been a month ago.Look, now her son has come to coax her obediently.

She is the emperor's biological mother, and she put her own biological mother in the cold palace. I don't believe that no one will speak out about this kind of unfilial behavior.

Concubine Bo smiled kindly, took the chopsticks handed over by the maid, and said lovingly: "Eat, the dishes delivered by the emperor himself must be delicious."

Murong Hao saw that his mother and concubine's personality had changed so much, and he also had some thoughts in his heart to take her out of the cold palace. As long as she was willing to cut off contact with that thief, she was willing to stay in her concubine's palace with peace of mind, and not interfere with the previous court. Don't frame those loyal ministers anymore.

When the thought comes together, it burns quickly.In addition, it's really inappropriate to stay in such a deserted place because it's his mother's concubine's birthday today.

He was still thinking, but Dowager Bo glanced at him and lowered her head to eat.You can say you are full without moving your chopsticks twice.

Murong Hao looked back at Concubine Mu who had only eaten a little bit, and frowned slightly, "Concubine Mu, are you not hungry? Why do you eat so little?"

Concubine Bo shook her head with a smile: "Concubine Mother's appetite has decreased a lot recently, and she was hungry when she saw this dish just now, and she will feel full after a few bites."

Eunuch De scrutinized Dowager Bo's expression indiscriminately. It didn't look like she was lying, but what it meant, I'm afraid only she knew.

Murong Hao looked at the maid standing behind her and asked: "Does the concubine always eat so little? How do you serve her?"

His tone was so light that he couldn't tell that it was furious, but it made people feel a chill behind their backs and panic.

The two palace maids knelt down and explained: "The emperor spares my life. The concubine has a bad appetite since she entered the cold palace. She often eats only one or two mouthfuls before putting down her chopsticks. The emperor has mercy..."

Concubine Bo looked back at the two palace maids who were kneeling on the ground trembling in fear, looked at Murong Hao and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Concubine Mother really can't eat it anymore. Then...Concubine Mother can eat some more , don't embarrass the maid."

However, she looked very embarrassed.

Of course Murong Hao would not insist on forcing his concubine mother to finish eating these dishes, he stretched out his hand to stop her and said: "Concubine mother, I don't mean that. It's just that you have lost a lot of weight, if the bad things last for a long time, there may be something wrong with your body."

Concubine Bo looked at the emperor and smiled, with a very touched expression on her face.However, she was thinking in her heart, if she cared so much about her, why didn't she let her out?She is the emperor's biological mother, although she also knows that the emperor can't do whatever he wants, but letting her out is just a matter of one word, does it hinder the former minister?

There are very few women in the harem who are not good at acting. Concubine Bo has a lot of tricks. She has negotiated with the emperor both hard and soft, but failed. This time she chose to use family affection to influence him.

The empress dowager actually brainwashed her son to make him so obedient, so she had to change her strategy.

Concubine Bo had a lot of thoughts, and finally responded to Murong Hao with a nod.Then he cared about the emperor and said: "The emperor should pay attention to his body when managing the government. You only talk about mother and concubine. The emperor looks at yourself. I haven't seen you for a month, and I'm even thinner. It's better to combine work and rest. Don't always stay up late at night. In the middle of the night, it hurts."

Murong Hao saw the worried expression on his mother's concubine, and felt very guilty in his heart.He looked at the seemingly untouched dishes on the table, the pointed chin of Concubine Mu, the coldness of her hands...he made a decision.

I have something to do tomorrow, take a day off!
