Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 322 Missing
"Princess, why are you here? Come in quickly, don't stand in the cold air." Bai Lu said, going to pull the princess in.

Xi'er quickly stopped her: "Good sister, how can the princess be allowed in this place, you should take the princess to see the empress."

"I'm here to see Empress Qin, who is she? Why can't I see her?" The princess said anxiously. It was already dark at this time, and some palace people began to light the lamps. Bai Lu couldn't see the princess's expression clearly, so she nodded Light up the lantern and go out.

The princess purposely dressed up as a maidservant, wearing a black cloak, hiding herself in the night very unobtrusively. Seeing her attire, Bai Lu was a little surprised, greeted Xi'er, and led the princess into the hall.

"Princess, why are you dressed like this?" The emperor did not prohibit people from visiting, why did the princess dress like this, is she hiding from someone?
"Don't talk about it, I just came out of the mansion and saw the chaos outside, and when I got to the palace, the palace was also in chaos, I sneaked in, the palace gate was locked and I couldn't get out, so I had to wait for Empress Wang Qin to take me in. "The two of them were talking, and they went into the house. As soon as they walked in, the princess was slightly taken aback: "Oh, why is it cold here?"

Bai Lu sighed and wanted to say something, but she thought about it carefully. She just pursed her lips and shook her head slightly: "The people in the House of Internal Affairs are bullying and afraid of the hard. They know that the empress is in trouble, so there is a shortage of charcoal fire." .”

In fact, it is not only a shortage, but not sent in at all.

At this time, no matter what, all the palaces began to distribute charcoal fires. The autumn rains have come down one after another, and the sky is getting colder and colder. Even the wind blows on the face with ice shards, which makes people's faces hurt Yes, all the maids and eunuchs in the palace can't stand it anymore.

"Those people are used to bullying others in the palace. If I can see the emperor, I must have a good talk in front of the emperor." Although the princess was not raised in the palace since childhood, the empress dowager liked it very much. Child, she often played in the palace when she was a child.

He knew more or less what the people in the palace had done, but he didn't expect that Concubine Qin had been favored by Concubine Qin for so many years, but after seeing a little downfall, these people all regarded themselves as their masters.

"If the princess has this kind of heart, the servant will thank the princess on behalf of the mother." Bai Lu said in a low voice. In fact, she didn't expect that the princess could do anything. It's just that after so many days, only the princess said so. She couldn't help being a little moved.

Bypassing the main hall, Bai Lu took the princess to the Nuan Pavilion. The charcoal burned in the Nuan Pavilion was the lowest grade, which was favored by Chen Wenxin, and the few people came to flatter her. It was stored in the outer wall of the Nuan Pavilion last winter.

It's a pity that the charcoal can only be kept in the wall. The smell from it is too strong and choking, so it can't be used for cooking and boiling water, otherwise they don't have to worry so much.

The lamps in the Nuan Pavilion were already lit, Bai Lu turned her head and smiled at the princess, "Look, princess, the empress is definitely inside."

As she said that, she lifted the curtain outside the warm pavilion and looked inside, but it was empty inside, and there was no sign of anyone.

"Where are you going..." Bai Lu looked at the rug in the Nuan Pavilion strangely, there was still a thin quilt on it, and there was also a plate of snacks and half a cup of tea on the small machine.

The tea on the table that she touched in the past was still warm, so she must have not gone far.It's just that I don't know where the person has gone. At this time, no one should look for Chen Wenxin.

Looking at the princess, the princess standing by the door yawned.Seeing her like this, she seemed to be a little sleepy, Bai Lu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty seems to be going to get something, the princess is here to sit down, this servant is going to find your Majesty."

The princess nodded and sat down in the Nuan Pavilion.

Bai Lu hurriedly went out to the bedroom, and just after she passed, she met a court lady carrying a basin coming from there, she quickly grabbed him and asked, "Hey, have you seen your mother?"

"Your Majesty? I didn't see it. I have to ask my sister about this. Your Majesty ordered to bring water to wash your hands. I brought the water, but I couldn't find your Majesty anywhere." The maid shook her head and sighed: "This water It's all cold."

"Take it back, and heat the water when I go to find you. It's so cold, you can't use ice water to wash your clothes." Bai Lu said, turned around and looked elsewhere, who knew that it was almost impossible. They have to search Yikun Palace all over, but they can't find anyone.

Bai Lu was now in a hurry, what should be done, a living person would disappear out of thin air!

She bit her lip, just as she wasn't paying attention, when she suddenly noticed a corner room where the sundries were stored, the door was opened a crack, and the night wind was blowing, but the door was not blown open.

Could it be inside?

Looking at the pitch-black room, Bai Lu felt a little trembling in her heart, and she called out, "Ma'am, are you in there?"

But when she looked inside, no one answered. She felt hairy on her back, and bit her lip. She moved a little closer and asked again, "Ma'am, are you inside?"

There was only the sound of the wind whimpering in her ears, as if someone was crying. She felt more and more uneasy, so she could only boldly knock on the door, but there was still no response from inside. She held up a lantern and looked in through the crack of the door. She didn't see anyone, and she didn't dare to hold on, so she left immediately.

She didn't know that just after she left, the north wind blew away the dark clouds, revealing the silver moonlight shining on the ground, reflecting the room where the sundries were kept, and at the corner between the door was Chen Wenxin's handkerchief, and that handkerchief There are dots on it, like dried blood.

On the other side, in Chengqian Palace.

"Mother, now that she has been imprisoned in the palace, should we..." Tong Guiren whispered while massaging Concubine Tong's legs.

Concubine Tong half closed her eyes, leaning on the concubine's couch, listening to the little actors in the next room singing, and did not answer Tong Guiren's words.

There are a total of twelve little opera singers next door. They were found by her mother's family in the south of the Yangtze River. Yi Shui'er's clear and beautiful voices were all sent to the palace. On the surface, they said they were maids of Chengqian Palace, but in fact she came to have fun. of.

She couldn't invite them to come, so she could only arrange a room for them to practice there. There was a wall and a courtyard, so that there would be less noise of singing in front of them, and a little more elegance.

"Just listen to the opera. That's the way it is. It's interesting to hide everything halfway. It's okay to listen to it once. If you listen to it too much, it's always boring." Concubine Tong squinted her eyes and said slowly.

She is not in good health, the emperor doesn't see her now, he likes to go to that bitch Chen Wenxin, she used to be very beautiful, but now she can only end up in this empty shell, Chengqian Palace is magnificent, but everyone in the palace doesn't I know, there is no place more deserted than here.

It's just that some old people in the past, relying on her mother's family's power to survive outside the palace, were still willing to listen to her deployment.

And this little Tong noble who has been serving in front of her is nothing more than that. She doesn't believe that this man really loves her half-old and immortal sick child. That's all for taking charge of the Qian Palace.

It's a pity that she won't die for a while.

"It's already turned on the lights, why don't you go back? Later, when there is no light on the road, all the brats will come out." Concubine Tong propped herself up, and Tong Guiren immediately added a pillow on her back.

"Your Majesty, let the concubine rest here today. The emperor is holding a banquet in Yongshou Palace, and the concubine does not want to go back." Tong Guiren bit his lip and whispered.

It has been several months since she entered the palace, except when she first entered the palace, she met the emperor a few times, but after that, she never had the chance to see the emperor again.

She thought Concubine Tong Gui was her backer, but after she entered the palace, she only saw this noble concubine who had been put on airs for a long time, still holding on to her past dreams and refusing to let go.

She thought that hers was the imperial concubine who was the same deputy queen back then, and that her mother's Tong Jia clan was a powerful family with power over the government, but she didn't know that those from the Tong Jia clan who were officials in the court could be masturbated They have already been removed from official positions, and now there are only a few elderly people left, and the emperor dare not move any more.

From the outside, it looks like a family full of flowers and cooking oil, but in fact, it has been gnawed by moths long ago, leaving only a gorgeous shell on the outside.

People in the palace are counting on the rise of outsiders to help them, so why don't people outside expect someone in the palace to be favored and help outsiders.

Beside Tong Guifei, she can neither stand out, nor can she completely listen to Tong Guifei alone. Living so cautiously, she can't help but wonder if she was on the wrong team at that time.

The few people in Yongshou Palace, except for Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan who doesn't care about world affairs and doesn't know what to do in his own room all day long, the rest is especially Zeng Chang, no, maybe after tonight, it will be Zeng Guiren Now, all day long, relying on being a concubine of Qin, she always looks at everyone, and often points at Sang Sang and scolds Huai at the gate of her palace.

Now that Chen Wenxin is confined in the palace, the emperor prefers to go to that slut's place, and he became a nobleman in just a few days, and he doesn't know what position he will be promoted to in the future. The noble concubine even has the position of the mother of a country.

Wasn't that the case with Concubine Qin back then, after entering the palace, the emperor favored her, and she was promoted all the way, talking about being the agent of the sixth palace, but in fact, the position of the queen was not just prepared for her.

Now that she is being grounded, if there is such a good opportunity, if she doesn't do something, who knows where she will be promoted after the emperor changes his temper and releases her in the future.

"Do you know why this Palace sent those three people to Yikun Palace with the Queen Mother Yizhi?" As if seeing what Tong Guiren was thinking, Concubine Tong coughed and said slowly.

"I don't know." This is when she was surprised. It stands to reason that at that time the emperor just showed the intention of ignoring Concubine Qin, and Concubine Tong was so impatient to let people go to her palace to make trouble, even though she was promoted two times, But they never saw the face of the emperor again.

Concubine Tong looked at Qiu Ju who was slumped on the opposite side, and said with a sneer, "You know, the emperor didn't want to imprison that bitch at all."

Tong Guiren was startled, and was about to speak, but suddenly there was a news from outside, saying that Yikun Palace had gone off fire!
