concubines

Chapter 328
While Zhou Yining was doing his homework, he thought about this matter in his heart. After finishing his homework, he went into Miaoli's bedroom.

Zhou Yining stood in front of the bed for a while, and finally said weakly, "Mrs. Meng, don't be sad."

Hearing his voice, Miao Li didn't want to spread fire on the child, sat up half-supported, and said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm sorry, I can't listen to you."

There is no way not to be sad.

Zhou Yi Ning got closer and stood by the bed, "I know why my mother is so uncomfortable. If I need my help, I will die."

Miao Li stretched out her hand and patted his head, "There is nothing that needs your help. You can just take care of yourself during this time, and Lady Meng may not be able to take care of you."

Zhou Yining glanced at her secretly, raised his head as if he had made up his mind and said, "But I really want to help Meng Niangniang, I can help Meng Niangniang kill Concubine An."

If he was a little older, it would not be surprising to say these words, and she might accept his help.But now you can't even count as a teenager, so it's too precocious to say these words.But all the children in the palace are like this, and he is not a serious prince, so he must be more careful.

Miao Li beckoned to him, let him sit by the bed, and said: "I have been thinking for a long time, if I have a child, I just hope that he can grow up safely. You don't need to be smart, and you will never let him do anything wrong. What he should do at his age. He will definitely grow up, so it is important to have a carefree childhood. It is the same for you now, this is an adult's business, it has nothing to do with you, you do your own thing That's it."

The more she said this, the more Zhou Yining wanted to help.He is no longer a child, he has already learned how to protect himself at home, and he has to learn how to protect the people he cares about in the palace.

"But empress, I really want to help you, and I really want to avenge empress Yi, she is also very kind to Erchen."

Miao Li still said the same thing, not allowing him to intervene, "If you have her in your heart, just go to her spiritual seat and kowtow to her a few more times, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Zhou Shuxuan originally forbade her to do anything to Princess Helan and asked her to be patient for a while.It might not be a problem for her to do it herself, so as not to implicate Zhou Yining.His position in the palace is inherently unstable, he has no blood relationship, and he may be sent home at any moment.

Seeing that she refused, Zhou Yi Ning didn't want to trouble her any more, so he kowtowed and went out.But he didn't change his mind, he must help Miao Li.

That Concubine An is really not a good thing, she must die for Concubine Yi.

Zhou Yi Ning packed up his homework and obediently went to Li Youfu to kowtow in front of Li Youfu's spirit.

Looking at the thin spirit tablet, Zhou Yi Ning still couldn't figure it out.A living person turned into a plank.Is this what is called death?
He knows that death is inevitable, everyone will die, but he doesn't think that death will come so soon, and he will never eat delicious osmanthus cake again.

Besides him, there were other people in the mourning hall.

Zhou Yi Ning turned his head to look over. Princess Helan was bound and knelt on the ground, with a cotton cloth stuffed in her mouth.She doesn't look like a concubine at all, and the maids around her are in better condition than her.

Zhou Yi Ning lowered his head slightly, and glanced at Princess Helan's face.I saw her haggard face, she looked very painful, even a little humiliated, but she couldn't see the slightest remorse.The pain on his face should just be the discomfort of being tortured.

This woman seemed to be a ghost alive, and she didn't feel anything when she killed someone.

Princess Helan found that he was looking at her, and knew in her heart that he was not a good guy.Now I can't move my hands and feet, and I can't curse.Gritting her teeth tightly, she slammed into him hard.

Zhou Yi Ning was unprepared and knocked to the ground by her. The eunuch next to him screamed and hurriedly helped him up, "Your Highness, are you all right? Did you break it? Why don't you watch her carefully?"

Zhou Yining just hurt from the fall, but there was no major problem, so he patted his butt and stood up.He glanced at Princess Helan's face again, and saw that there was some expression on her face, like a faint smile, as if he had succeeded.

Not only hateful, but also ridiculous, and very childish.

Zhou Yi Ning didn't say anything to her now, he wiped off the ashes on his body, and then kowtowed to Li Youfu's spirit seat a few times. "I disturbed the empress, the empress forgives the sin, and the minister will leave first."

There was nothing wrong with the etiquette, and then he got up and walked out, preparing to go back to Longde Hall.On the way back, the eunuch just now kept patting his chest, as if he was frightened.

Zhou Yining raised his head slightly and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"The servant is afraid that something will happen to His Royal Highness. Your Highness didn't see it just now, but when you leaned a little bit, you crashed into the brazier. If something goes wrong, the servant has a hundred heads and is not enough to kill it."

Zhou Yining didn't seem to understand what he said, and said casually: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, even if something happens to me, it won't be a big problem. There are still children in the clan, and the emperor can choose another one. "

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. There is no difference between Your Highness and the Emperor's own birth. Maybe it will be Your Highness who will inherit the throne in the future. The gold is so expensive. Your Highness is no longer a child of the clan, but a child of the Emperor. Your Highness must remember Living."

Zhou Yi Ning thought about it, and asked: "Is it important for me, or the emperor's concubine? For example, Concubine Lin, if something happens to me because of her, will the emperor punish her if she hurts me?"

The eunuch thought he was insecure, so he quickly said: "Of course it is His Highness who is important. An unfavored concubine will never be as important as the emperor's heir. And now there is only His Highness a child in the palace, which is even more precious. It can be said that if If someone hurts you, it is equivalent to cutting off the future of the royal family. Not only the emperor wants to punish her, but maybe everyone in the world will not let her go."

Zhou Yi Ning nodded his head half-understood, and then said casually: "But you have to get rid of Meng Niangniang, right?"

The eunuch paused for a moment, "I'm afraid it is. The slave is talking too much in front of His Royal Highness. I'm afraid the noble concubine is more important to the emperor than himself. But don't worry about the noble concubine. The noble concubine treats her highness sincerely. The noble concubine has always been very kind to people. "

Of course Miao Li is sincere to him, he knows it, so he has to treat him sincerely.

Zhou Yi Ning finished asking what he wanted to ask, and suddenly said solemnly: "Eunuch, it's not good for you, you can't talk about the emperor and the imperial concubine in private, be careful."

The eunuch complained in his heart, obviously he was the one who started it first, they really have no human rights as slaves.

At dawn the next day, Miaoli sat on the bed for a whole night without closing her eyes.Mammy Xi looked worried, "Your Majesty, do you want to visit Concubine Yi, maybe go to burn incense sticks?"

Miao Li shook her head, "I don't want to go, I will only be sad when I see it. There are no people left, and some people offer incense. Didn't it mean that Concubine An has been kneeling in the mourning hall? I am afraid that seeing her will directly strangle her to death."

She hasn't figured out a seamless solution yet, so she can't act rashly.If she killed someone, she would be guilty of the same crime as Princess Helan.

Zhou Yi Ning got up on time and at the same time, had breakfast and was going to school as usual, when he passed by the gate of Li Youfu Palace, he suddenly said that he wanted to go in and kowtow to burn incense.

Following the eunuch didn't stop him too much, knowing that he was really filial, and the time for school was still early, so he went in with him.

Zhou Yi Ning came in and offered incense and kowtowed. After standing up, he lightly kicked the sleeping Princess Helan.He pretended not to understand and asked, "Why are you sleeping here? Is it your Xichang custom to sleep like this? From this point of view, it really looks like a barbarian."

Princess Helan couldn't bear being called a barbarian by others, or being called like that by a child.And she was in such a posture, she didn't want to sleep like this, she was forced to kneel here for a day and a night.He stared up at him with red eyes.

"Why don't you speak? Oh, your mouth is gagged." Zhou Yi Ning squatted closer, and then continued, "A bad-hearted person like you should have his mouth gagged and give you a call." Cage, put you in a cage. Then take you out for an exhibition, so that everyone in the world can see how bad you Xichang people are.”

The people around Zhou Yining felt that something was wrong and advised him to get up quickly, but Zhou Yining couldn't get up after pushing the people away.

Princess Helan was completely enraged, just like yesterday, even more vicious than yesterday, she used all her strength to hit him hard.

Zhou Yi Ning had been prepared for a long time, and the moment he stepped back, he tore off the cloth from her mouth.Princess Helan, who was suddenly liberated, cursed at him, but no one could understand what she was cursing, and there was Xichang dialect in it.

Zhou Yi Ning rolled on the ground, and in a panic grabbed a handful of paper ashes from the basin of burning paper money and smeared it on his face.Then he cried and ran out.He ran so fast that the eunuchs couldn't catch up behind him.

Zhou Yi Ning saw the right path and headed straight for the Tai Chi Hall.It's the early morning time. If there is no accident, all civil and military officials are there, and if they want to make a big fuss about it.

When he arrived at the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, Zhou Yi Ning rushed in without any hesitation, and the guards guarding the gate did not stop him, allowing him to enter successfully.

Zhou Shuxuan was discussing tax matters with the ministers when he broke in suddenly.His face was white and black, his clothes were stained, he was in a state of embarrassment, and he would cry non-stop on the ground.

Zhou Shuxuan asked with a sullen face: "What happened? Why did you break into the Taiji Hall and cry?"

After the ministers whispered to each other, everyone in the room soon knew his identity. He was the emperor's adopted child, and he might be the future heir. They couldn't help but respect him.They all poked their heads out, stretched their necks, and paid attention to the development of the situation.
