"My girl, are you going to scare the old slave to death? Let you eat slowly and you won't listen..."

In the carriage, Madam Li threw away the big lychees that Song Jianing had just vomited out, and then patted Song Jianing on her back while saying frightened. She was really scared to death. Just now, she almost thought that Song Jianing was going to choke to death by the lychees, but fortunately she vomited out in the end. Otherwise, how would she explain to the prince when she came back?

Song Jianing was also scared. Although she was in unbearable pain when she was punished by Princess Duanhui, she had the idea of ​​seeking death, but she didn't want to choke to death with lychees. It was too embarrassing to spread it.

The master and servant comforted each other for a while and confirmed that Song Jianing was fine. Madam Li then ordered the carriage to continue moving forward.

At night, Song Jianing put medicine on her knees and lay on her back. It was late at night. When she recalled the situation in the daytime palace, she became more and more uneasy. She had long recognized her in this village by Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao married Princess Duanhui, and she was not sad. However, she had seen Princess Duanhui who was punished by her high above and as soon as she said punishment to her, Song Jianing always felt that even if she was determined to hide here in the future, Princess Duanhui would probably not tolerate her.

Is it true that she can't even sit still and die?

Song Jianing couldn't sleep anymore.

In the palace, Princess Duanhui was also unable to sleep, and her mind was full of Song Jianing's charming and beautiful face. She had known that her cousin had a concubine, but she had always convinced herself that her concubine was just for her to vent her vent, and she was kept outside because she couldn't get on the table. Now she had seen Song Jianing with her own eyes. If Princess Duanhui thought so much, she would be a fool.

Close your eyes, and the scene of my cousin holding Song Jianing's favored will come to my mind, both hatred and disgusting. Princess Duanhui becomes more and more anxious, and suddenly lifts the quilt and jumps off the bed, and goes straight to the dressing table barefoot. She is in the mirror, with black hair as a waterfall, and looks bright. In terms of beauty, Princess Duanhui doesn't think she is worse than Song Jianing, but she must admit that compared to Song Jianing, she lacks a kind of charm. Song Jianing's eyes and her charming voice are irresistible to women.

With such a delicate outdoor room, will my cousin still be wholeheartedly devoted to her? It is impossible. As long as Song Jianing is alive, she will never be able to possess her cousin's favor alone. She is a princess. Not only does she want a title, she also needs a complete husband. Song Jianing is a lowly woman, why should she compete with her?

The next day, Princess Duanhui went to Changchun Palace of her mother, Concubine Shu, and sent the palace maids. The mother and the two of them had a secret conversation in the inner room.

"You, how could you have such an idea?" Concubine Shu looked at her daughter in horror, not understanding why her daughter, who was not well-educated in the world, suddenly had the vicious intention of killing people.

It would be fine if Concubine Shu asked, Princess Duanhui cried and threw herself into her mother's arms and complained: "Mom, you have never seen her before. You will understand. My cousin has spoiled her for seven years and will continue to spoil her in the future. I can't stand it. I want her to die. I want my cousin to put all his heart on me... Mom, please help me. As long as I think about my cousin going to find her and bed with her, my heart hurts like a knife..."

Concubine Shu hugged her daughter and didn't speak for a long time.

Which woman is willing to share the favor with others? When she first entered the palace, the late emperor, Long Zhangfeng, was so majestic. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she also fell in love with her. When the late emperor came to Changchun Palace, she was worth waiting for the day and served this man sweetly. However, gradually, the late emperor began to favor other concubines. Even after more than 20 years, Concubine Shu still remembered clearly.

Concubine Shu fully understood her daughter's bitterness, but... she lowered her head, Concubine Shu gently touched her daughter's long hair and sighed: "Since Ping Zhang spoiled her so much, if something happened to her, she would definitely be suspicious of you, and maybe she would get along with you because of this. Duanhui, you have to think clearly."

Princess Duanhui raised her head and looked at her mother's concerned eyes. She smiled disdainfully: "A mere outdoor room, if my cousin spoils her, at most I will be angry with me for ten days and half a month. Could it be that I will ignore me for the rest of my life because of a dead person? Send someone to do something quickly. I will solve it before my cousin comes back. I just want her to die. I will be happy if she dies!"

Concubine Shu was naturally biased towards her daughter. Think about it carefully, her daughter's words are not unreasonable. How many years of love will she be separated because of a dead outdoor room?

Concubine Shu came from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. When she was a girl, she had her own farm in charge. She had been in the palace for more than 20 years and could successfully become the concubine. Concubine Shu must have her own confidant. After careful planning, Concubine Shu called a confidant and secretly gave her instructions.

However, this is the palace. Everything that happened in the palace cannot escape the eyes of the new emperor Zhao Heng.

Eunuch Fu whispered in Zhao Heng's ear. Zhao Heng had a mouth disease since childhood and was withdrawn by nature. He changed the number of palace servants he served around him, but Eunuch Fu always served him. Zhao Heng looked at the vase and Eunuch Fu could guess whether the emperor wanted to cut flowers or change it to a new one. Zhao Heng only said two words, and Eunuch Fu could explain it into a long passage, and he guessed Zhao Heng's meaning every time. Therefore, Eunuch Fu was the well-deserved No. 1 celebrity around Zhao Heng. He followed him wherever Zhao Heng went.

When Zhao Heng learned about Concubine Shu and Princess Duanhui's vicious plan, he looked as usual. After a moment, he said a few words lightly.

Eunuch Fu understood and bent down and said, "It is a blessing that Song has cultivated in three lifetimes."

Song Jianing's legs were kept for three days before they stopped hurting. But she rolled up her trouser legs and saw two pieces of bruises left on her white knees. She probably had to apply plaster for a few more days. Madam Li was very concerned and changed the medicine three times a day, for fear that the prince would find clues when she came back. Song Jianing lay depressedly on the bed. In the hot summer, she was too lazy to move.

He slept a lot during the day, and Song Jianing fell lightly at night, as if he heard some sound of falling to the ground. Song Jianing opened his eyes sleepyly, his vision blurred, and saw a ball of fiery red light. Song Jianing was confused and looked closely and saw that there was no light, it was clearly on fire! In the blink of an eye, the flames spread to the door of the inner room and the bed tent!

Song Jianing's legs were so scared that she was weak. After a brief shock, she finally came back to her senses and jumped down to shout for help. The fire was too big, and the crackling sound of explosions covered her voice. Song Jianing didn't know that her call for help had not been heard, so she ran out in panic. When she ran to the room, she saw Madam Li who was watching the night was still lying on the couch. Song Jianing rushed to call for help, but she pushed it several times, but Madam Li didn't move.

Song Jianing trembled and looked at Mama Li's breath... It's gone.

Madam Li is dead?

Song Jianing's mind was blank, but the raging fire could not allow her to think about the cause of Madam Li's death. Finally, she looked at Madam Li who had been with her for more than seven years. Song Jianing covered her mouth and continued to run out, but the fire outside was even bigger and it had surrounded the main hall door. Song Jianing tried to break through several times but failed.

The thick smoke rolled, and Song Jianing gradually couldn't hold on. Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to see a figure.

I woke up again, it was dusk the next day.

While sleeping, she seemed to hear a slight footsteps. She came to her side and quickly left again. Then someone closed the door. The creaking sound completely awakened Song Jianing. She opened her eyes and saw a light green gauze tent, which was very strange. It was definitely not the room she was in the village.

"Miss, are you awake?"

After the sudden inquiry, Song Jianing was shocked, and the speaker had already approached the bed and looked at her with concern and curiosity. The woman was wearing a bamboo-green fine cloth dress, dressed in a maid, with a clear look on her eyes, as if she was not malicious. Song Jianing slowly sat up and looked at the strange room. She asked blankly: "Where is this?"

The palace maid named Lanzhi. He smiled mysteriously when he heard this and said playfully: "Someone will tell you later if the girl is thirsty? I will pour you water."

Song Jianing was a little thirsty, but she wanted to know where she was.

Lanzhi didn't ask her to wait for Song Jianing for a cup of tea, and then served Song Jianing to change into a new set of clothes. Lanzhi asked Song Jianing to wait for a while, and she retreated out alone. She was the only one in the room. Song Jianing stared at the door for a while, but did not dare to move. She quietly moved to the window, opened a narrow gap and looked out.

Outside was a neat and clean courtyard with red lacquered doors and glazed tiles, which had an indescribable temperament. When his eyes moved, Song Jianing suddenly saw two little eunuchs...

Eunuch?

Song Jianing was so shocked that she was in the palace?

As soon as the thought fell, unconcealed footsteps came from the yard. Song Jianing was panicked and hurried back to the center of the room, not daring to sit down, and stood opposite the main door with his cuffs open. When the door opened, Lanzhi smiled at her, then turned sideways and asked another person to enter. The visitor was a smiling eunuch, asking Lanzhi to wait outside, but he came in alone and did not close the door.

Song Jianing retreated nervously.

Eunuch Fu looked at the outer room that Guo Xiao had been favored for seven years without a trace. Compared with the common concubines and beauties in the late emperor's harem, Song Jianing looked no less beautiful, but his face was a little fatter and his body was plump. He saw many slender and thin beauties. No wonder the emperor had briefly lost his composure when he first saw this girl that day.

Eunuch Fu has been worrying about the emperor's marriage. He is about to be thirty next year. How can a dignified emperor have no concubines? The ministers urge him day by day, and Eunuch Fu also wants to urge him, but he dare not, because he knows that the emperor is used to being alone. For so many years, the emperor has only asked him to serve his daily life alone.

After discovering that Song Jianing attracted the attention of the emperor, Eunuch Fu had a long time of pity. Why did Guo Xiao meet such a beautiful and beautiful person first? Fortunately, he had a decisive destiny in the dark, so he asked him to learn that Princess Duanhui and Concubine Shu were trying to murder Song Jianing. It happened that Guo Xiao was unable to protect the beauty, so he would take him into the palace to serve the emperor.

The more you look at Song Jianing, the more satisfied you are. Eunuch Fu showed his identity with a kind look.

"You..." Song Jianing was shocked and couldn't speak.

Eunuch Fu nodded and explained in a low voice: "The princess is about to marry her husband. The princess can't tolerate you. She will send someone to set fire to take your life. But how can they hide it from the emperor when they are planning things in the palace? The emperor is kind and cannot bear to die innocently, so she sends secret guards to save you from the sea of ​​suffering."

Song Jianing's face turned pale. She had long guessed that Princess Duanhui would deal with her, but she didn't expect that Princess Duanhui would kill her if she took action!

"Now, what are your plans? Do you want to go back to the prince?" Eunuch Fu said softly, narrowing his eyes slightly, paying attention to any changes in Song Jianing's expression.

Let’s do Guo Xiao’s forbidden body, and then maybe one day he will be murdered by Princess Duanhui?

Song Jianing was chilling all over, shook his head instinctively, calmed down for a moment, and kowtowed and begged: "Grandpa Fu, the emperor saved the lives of the people's women, and the people's women were grateful. However, the people's women were sent to the prince by her husband, and she couldn't help but live a life of silence until now... Since the princess can't tolerate me, the people's women are unwilling to stay in the capital, so she begged the emperor to allow the people's women to leave the capital..."

Eunuch Fu was quite surprised and asked, "Do you still have relatives to join me?"

Song Jianing was stunned.

Does she have any relatives? Her second uncle and second aunt are cruelly sending her to Liang Shao as a concubine. If she goes to join her, the couple will probably sell her again. In the capital, let alone she has broken off contact with her uncle and aunt, even if her uncle and aunt are willing to take her in, Song Jianing would not dare to stay under Guo Xiao's nose. No relatives can join her, so where can she go?

"Miss Song, in fact, if you really want to leave the prince completely and never give him the prince another chance, then there is only one way to go." Eunuch Fu helped Song Jianing up and said sympathetically.

It was like catching a life-saving straw, Song Jianing said anxiously: "Please give me advice!"

Eunuch Fu smiled and pointed his finger at his feet: "Stay in the palace, our emperor is the most kind. As long as you keep your duties and don't run around and be seen by others, no matter how capable the prince is, he will not dare to come to the palace to find anyone."

Without having to return to Guo Xiao, Song Jianing was happy. She just thought about it and was worried again. She lowered her head and said, "I, I'm clumsy. Is there an errand I can do in the palace?"

Eunuch Fu pretended to think for a moment and pondered: "There is no shortage of palace maids in the palace now. However, last month, the emperor ordered me to choose a palace maid to serve my daily life. I have not found a suitable one for you..." After looking at Song Jianing up and down, Eunuch Fu touched his chin and said: "The emperor disliked the noise of the palace maids. I think you look like a quiet person. How about you? Will you put on a quilt and make a bed?"

Song Jianing is not noisy and can make beds, but she is afraid that she will serve the emperor. She is a little girl, who is worthy of serving the emperor?

"Well, follow me to meet the saint, please let the emperor decide. If the emperor likes you, it will be your fortune."

Flirtatious, Eunuch Fu made a decision for Song Jianing, and then arranged for Lanzhi to teach Song Jianing the rules in the palace. Half a month later, Eunuch Fu brought Song Jianing and three other quiet and delicate palace maids to the emperor.

Song Jianing met the emperor's dragon boots again, keeping in mind the rules, she bowed her head decently and did not dare to look around.

"Your Majesty, everyone has been brought, do you see?" Eunuch Fu asked for instructions with a smile.

Zhao Heng glanced at the four girls, reached out and clicked, then lowered his eyes and continued reading.

Eunuch Fu ordered the young eunuch to lead the three unselected palace maids to go down.

Song Jianing was still lowering her head. Seeing that the palace maids were about to leave, she subconsciously lined up behind, stupid. Eunuch Fu subconsciously aimed at the emperor, and saw that the emperor seemed to look over there. Eunuch Fu held back his laughter and walked a few steps to stop Song Jianing, whispering: "What are you going? The emperor has ordered you, why don't you go and thank you?"

Click her?

Song Jianing unexpectedly raised his head.

Gong Fu gestured to her over with his eyes.

Song Jianing was almost confused and had no idea why the emperor chose her. He walked up to the emperor like a dream and knelt down and thanked her.

"Since you are a palace maid, you should keep your duty. You should not mention the past." Zhao Heng said indifferently.

Song Jianing touched the ground on his forehead and said respectfully: "The emperor's teachings, I will keep it in mind."

Zhao Heng nodded: "Get out."

Song Jianing stood up straight and walked backwards. Someone had been waiting outside the hall and took her to the back hall. From now on, she will be the palace maid who serves the emperor's daily life.

The emperor did not return to the back hall, and Song Jianing had no errands. The guards outside were all eunuchs, and they all looked very serious. Song Jianing stayed in the side hall and thought about his worries. It has been half a month since the fire. Guo Xiao should have come back. If her body was not found, would Guo Xiao continue to look for her? Also, if Guo Xiao guessed that Princess Duanhui was the murderer behind the scenes, what would he do?

In fact, no matter how you do it, it has nothing to do with her. Song Jianing didn't care much about the result. She just... in the huge capital, there was only one Guo Xiao left with her. When there was nothing to do, Song Jianing would uncontrollably think of Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui.

Before he knew it, it was getting darker. The emperor finished handling the affairs and returned to the back hall to rest.

Song Jianing went outside the door to greet him in time.

She is also a palace maid, but her clothes are different from those of ordinary palace maids. She has a pink embroidered robe on top and a plain white long skirt on the bottom. She stands there pretty, like a newly bloomed peony in April. Her cheeks are tender and tender and can be broken, and her eyelashes blink uneasyly, covering up her charming almond eyes.

Zhao Heng knew that she had served two men in succession, but he could not find a trace of dust in this woman, even if he was charming and charming. Men could find her goodness at a glance, but she herself didn't know that it was her timid and restrained manner that was covetous.

Zhao Heng admitted that he had the appearance of this woman. He was almost thirty. Before he ascended the throne, he was the King of Shou and lived in the palace in secluded. His blessed father-in-law had no maid to approach him. Few ladies could see him. Zhao Heng had no intention of being in love with flowers and flowers, and only liked to practice calligraphy and painting. After ascending the throne, he was busy with political affairs and had no flaw in women.

But he needed children. Just when he decided to give a speech, Song Jianing appeared in front of him. Her clothes were soaked on the ground, her breathing was rapid, and the ups and downs on her chest were unprecedented in his life. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were filled with tears, and her pitiful appearance was both charming and arousing the man's desire.

The first time, Zhao Heng wanted a woman.

Princess Duanhui's plan hit him, so Zhao Heng took the plan and saved her and took her into the palace. The only thing that left for Guo Xiao was a corpse similar to her height but burned beyond recognition. Three days ago, Guo Xiao returned to Beijing and stayed in the broken Zhuangzi for a day and a night. Yesterday, Guo Xiao knelt down and begged him to take back his order and refuse to marry.
To be continued...
