The old mother's heart shuddered, and she looked at the gorgeous lady from behind, but she didn't dare to speak.
Qingning Palace, the palace where Concubine Liu was confined.
The empress dowager has been in the deep palace for decades, and it is impossible not to recognize the various paths in the palace.
It's no accident that I came here.
The Queen Mother is looking for Concubine Liu!
"Qing Ning Palace," looked up and looked at the dusty plaque above the palace, the empress dowager said the three words lightly, "Since you are here, go in and take a look."
"Queen dowager..." The old mother hesitated but stopped.
Concubine Liu was in confinement and was not allowed to visit.
This is the iron law ordered by the Nanling King.
If the empress dowager wants to go in, it is tantamount to turning a deaf ear to King Nanling's words, and the two will have to conflict afterwards.
"Why, where does Lai's family want to go, how can it be?"
"The old slave didn't mean that, the queen mother calmed down!"
Extending the hem of the sleeves, the queen mother stepped, slowly stepped on the steps in front of the hall, and walked inside.
The eunuch guarding the gate of the hall did not dare to stop.
The heavy hall door opened with a babble, and the empress dowager glanced across the rusty copper buckle and crossed the threshold to enter.
Looking around, the snow in the hall has not completely melted, and the mottled clutter is on the ground. In addition to broken snow, there are also dry leaves blown by the cold wind. There are dead weeds in the four corners of the hall, waiting for the next spring again. Sprout and spit green.
All the way in, I couldn't see a minion.
"Before, when the Ai family was still in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Qingning Palace was the most beautiful in the harem, and the Ai family could imagine the scene at that time. I didn't expect that the huge palace would become like this in a short time, so deserted. Dead still."
Like a sigh, mixed with the sorrowful loneliness of rabbits and dead foxes.
The old mother dared not talk, because she couldn't figure out what the queen mother meant.
Is she really lamenting the impermanence of the world, or is she gloating at the fact that Princess Liu, who once stepped on her head, finally fell into this situation.
They are all alike, but they are not alike.
Walking to the inner hall, the door of the hall is still closed, and there is no sound inside, like an empty hall.
The old mother stepped forward tightly, stretched out her hand to push the door open, and the scene inside slowly emerged.
A mess.
Porcelain and jade fragments are everywhere. Looking at the traces, it has been broken for a long time, and no one has come to clean it.
"Queen mother, watch your steps." The old mother reminded.
There is almost no place to rest here, and if you are not careful, the soles of your shoes can step on the debris.
She was a slave who couldn't imagine how Concubine Liu lived in such an environment.
Looking up, she even saw spider webs everywhere in the temple.
This is nothing but Qingning Palace, clearly no different from Lenggong.
Concubine Liu was sitting at the bottom of the hall, on the chaise couch with mottled skin.
Wearing a luxurious and old dirty brocade dress, his face turned pale from cold, describing it as haggard and haggard.
And beside her, there is a thick cotton-padded jacket, which is only sewn with dark gray cotton cloth, which is worn by the servants in the palace to keep out the cold.
"It's all at this time, still guarding that little pride, if it really freezes to death, are you willing?" Walking over, the empress dowager picked up the cotton jacket and put it on with Princess Liu herself.
Her eyes fell on her gray hair in a bun.
"A lot of old age, after sad things, people will get old very quickly," the empress dowager laughed to herself, turned and sat down in the armchair opposite to Princess Liu, "Look at Lae Jia, you are as old as you, even more You are two years younger, and your hair is all white."
Concubine Liu turned her stiff neck and looked at her. Her eyes were cloudy and dark, with almost no light.
It was hopeless eyes, hopeless, all lacklustre.
"In the past, in order to fight for favor, you did a lot of tricks on Ae's family. Now, Ae's family is still the queen mother, but you, after running in the harem for several years, have become like this. You said you, why do you want to follow suit? Qingbaidou is here."
"The queen mother is here to taunt the main palace?" The withered woman over there spoke, her voice dry and hoarse, it seemed that she hadn't spoken for a long time, making her voice particularly difficult.
"No, the Aijia just came to see you." The empress dowager smiled, "Look at what you look like now, maybe the Aijia will be like you in the future."
Concubine Liu was silent for a moment, and suddenly Jiejie laughed, with a strange and unpleasant laugh, "The Queen Mother just now wondered why this palace would fight Feng Qingbai, you? You came out from the Hall of Nourishment, is it just to enjoy the Queen Mother's Awe-inspiring, in order to see how your enemy manages the Nanling rivers and mountains in an orderly manner, and to see how he can call the wind and rain in Nanling?"
"You have been locked up for so long, no one has come to see you except Laijia, right?" The empress dowager turned a deaf ear to her ridicule, without the slightest extra reaction, and stood up, "I met you, and Laijia came to see you. It's a sisterhood relationship. You can do it yourself."
Seeing the woman about to leave, Princess Liu suddenly stood up from the concubine couch, her eyes red and fierce, "You fool! I am not willing to die here like this, so are you willing to watch the enemy go higher and higher!" Don’t forget, both of your sons died in his hands! It was he who caused you to give away the white-haired people to the black-haired people, and it was he who caused you to die in the future and no one will help the spirits to send you away!”
"The Ai's family is the queen mother. She died, and the emperor sent her to the clan. There is no need for you to worry about the Ai's family."
The door of the temple was closed again, shutting all the light out of the door, and the hall was dimmed.
Concubine Liu sat down, tears overflowing from her dry eyes and slid down.
Then, he laughed frantically.
Laughter is harsher and sharper than crying.
"Since you are so wide-hearted, this palace is waiting to see what you will end up with!"
Outsiders said she was crazy, and was driven crazy by the Nanling King.
She is not crazy.
However, King Nanling said she was crazy, and everyone regarded her as a lunatic!
She is not as they want, she wants to live well, she wants to see, in the end, what kind of end they will get one by one!
Here, the Queen Mother stepped into Qingning Palace with the front foot, and the news reached Feng Qingbo on the back foot.
At that time, he had just come down from the wedding banquet, changed his clothes, and took a breath.
Feng Mohan followed him all the time and listened to the news.
"Look, I said that old lady won't be at peace. It's so good. What did she go to Qingning Palace to do? It must be a moth!" Feng Mohan sneered, "Even though Mrs. Liu's tooth was pulled out, But if you bite with your gums, it hurts. Uncle Emperor, we must prevent it."
"Today's wedding banquet, don't talk about official business." Feng Qingbai took off the wedding robe and replaced it with the brocade robe used for hospitality. He will have to continue playing later. The wine tainted with his clothes is too heavy and needs to be dissipated. Son.
When he didn't want to wait to enter the new house, Shengsheng drove him out.
She doesn't like the strong taste.
Feng Mohan blinked as he watched the man slowly changing his shirt, he couldn't find any fluctuations on his face.
sigh.
He has been emperor for thirteen years. Compared with those short-lived ghost emperors in the past, he has been in power for a long time.
He still has to learn.
