It was morning, although it was autumn, but the sun was shining brightly.
The yard is full of fallen leaves and no one has cleaned it. In the room, Mother Shen has cleaned the floor and wiped the table, but the windows and furnishings are full of dust and no one has cleaned it. Mother Shen is not in good health, and she can't do it anymore. .
The four maids sat outside the palace gate with their Mazars, chatting indifferently.
"Oh, tell me, is King Li dead or alive?" said a court lady. Another court lady glanced at the palace and sneered, "It must be dead. There has been no news for such a long time. Besides, what can King Li do if he is alive? He is also dead when he comes back. Who let him and Xueyue The building colluded. The blood moon building was so cruel that it killed hundreds of people in Wanqi Villa.
They were all slaughtered, tsk tsk. "
"So it is said that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. This is retribution for King Li. Think about it, Xueyue Tower slaughtered Wanqi Mountain Villa, but King Li pretended to take in the eldest lady of Wanqi's family. In fact, King Li and The Xueyue Building is a group, what does that mean? It means that the massacre of Wanqi Villa is the Li Wang. "
Shen Momo was trembling with anger, "Shut up!" As she said that, she was about to rush out to fight with them, but was held back by Concubine Qin.
Concubine Qin smiled wryly, "Nurse Shen, forget it... forget it, it's not the first time they said, let them go, you've had a cold recently, you must take care of yourself."
Mother Shen's voice was not low, and the maids outside the door heard it, but she just gave her a cold stare, reassuring, "Hey, have you heard of Ling Chi? The old eunuch next to King Li, the emperor, is Ling Chi. Cut to pieces with a knife, really relieves hatred!"
"Yeah, I heard that the old eunuch still scolded me after scraping the meat, haha."
Thinking of the loyal servant beside her, Concubine Qin also wanted to rush out angrily and desperately, but this time it was Nanny Shen who was dragging Concubine Qin.
"Poor young lady of the Ying family, she sneaked into Prince Li's mansion to gather evidence for the emperor, the young lady of the Ying family is the most talented woman in the world."
"Isn't it? At the beginning, a certain concubine treated her like her own daughter, she was really blind." After speaking, all the court ladies looked in the direction of the palace and laughed loudly.
Concubine Qin fell down on the chair, her eyes were slowly closed, her face was pale. "Why is this... why is this... Could it be that it was a mistake for me to promise Ying's marriage at the beginning?"
Mother Shen hugged the trembling Concubine Qin, and comforted her in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with your Majesty. If the Emperor wants to punish the prince, even if there is no Ying Weiyi, he will find other excuses. There is no harm in punishing him." Resign!"
"Mother Shen, tell me, is he... is he still alive?" Concubine Qin's voice was filled with pleading.
Shen Momo's eyes flashed, her lips trembled, and finally she said something against her will, "If you are alive, the prince must still be alive, so we have to take care of ourselves, and when the prince comes to save us, we must hold on."
Concubine Qin nodded fiercely, although she didn't believe it in her heart.
At this time, a woman in palace attire came in under the service of a servant girl outside the door.
This person is none other than the current Empress Dowager's younger sister and Concubine Rou's mother—Pei Yurui, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Pei guessed a little bit, but she was angry but couldn't say anything.
The four maids knew Pei's identity, so they didn't dare to be too aggressive, let alone their noble status, they only said that every time Pei came, they would be rewarded with a lot of money.
Pei smiled and said, "Hey, these sisters are really holding my wife's money and not doing human affairs. From this point of view, there is no need to take out the money that my wife has prepared." Said Then, go to the palace.
The four palace maids were terrified. You know, they don't have any way to earn rewards on weekdays, so they quickly apologized.
"It's Madam." Mother Shen greeted her immediately.
Because Mrs. Pei has never been married since Xue Xufeng, if you call her Miss, she is still old; if you call her Mrs., she is still single; if you call her Mrs. Pei directly, it is impolite, so everyone unanimously calls her Mrs. No surname was listed.
"Yes, how is the condition of Concubine Qin?" Mrs. Pei asked.
Concubine Qin walked up to meet her slowly, and said, "Madam Lao misses you, I am fine."
The four palace maids still begged for mercy, but in the end Mrs. Pei had no choice but to wink at the maid, who immediately took out the purse she had prepared and sent it over.
Pei Shi was naturally full of anger, but she didn't dare to vent it. If she lost her temper, it would be Concubine Qin who would suffer in the end.
Mrs. Pei sighed, and said to the maids, "You are still young and have little experience. You only know how to climb high and step down. If you go on like this, you may take a detour." The voice paused, "It's just like me back then. Same."
The four maids were taken aback and looked at Mrs. Pei.
Mrs. Pei didn't bother to say these words to a group of scumbags, "Forget it, just remember, you will be better to Concubine Qin in the future, as long as you are respectful, it will be good for me when you turn around. If you are not respectful, next time I'm not coming either, out of sight is out of mind."
Having said all of this, the fourth court lady hurriedly said, "Yes, ma'am, don't worry, the slaves will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Mrs. Pei glanced at the fallen leaves all over the yard, and felt that the whole Yongxian Palace was miserable and lifeless. "Caitao, you took them to tidy up the yard." Said to the servant girl.
The servant girl replied respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Pei entered the palace and closed the door, while the maids of the palace cleaned the courtyard.
Mrs. Pei helped Concubine Qin into the inner room, looked at Concubine Qin's white hair, and sighed faintly, "Madam, it's not that I'm talking about you, but we are all people who have survived stiff limbs and scattered poison. I have survived all the pain, why are you still scared by a few court ladies?"
Concubine Qin laughed, "Ma'am, I'm really joking, do you think I'm fighting against those slavish slaves? I... I'm worried about Fen'er and Qianxue."
Mentioning Gu Qianxue, Pei Shi also sighed, "It's not easy for that child." Concubine Qin sighed, "I'm the one who's most sorry for her. At the beginning, she tried her best to detoxify me. What did she want? I have always known, but... because of my own selfishness, I have been pampering the first emperor. At that time, my brain was really oiled, and I only thought about my son... Hey, in the end, it was also a bamboo basket.
The water is empty. Now I think again and again, if the emperor wanted to grant a marriage back then, and I tried my best to obstruct it, the result would be very different. "As he said, his eyes turned red, and he cried again. Pei Shi also choked up, "Aren't I too? In the past when I was in the Gu family, I tried my best to tarnish her reputation and obstruct her marriage with the prince. Later... well, I never thought that it would be her who saved me in the end. That stiff limb is really vicious and vicious, unable to move or speak, staring at people with blank eyes
There was nothing but despair in his face and heart. "
Yes, Mrs. Pei is naturally desperate.
why? Because when she was poisoned, even her own daughter abandoned her. When she was first poisoned, Pei Qianrou still came to visit her. Every time she came, she just cursed and cried. Afterwards, she never showed up again after she got married to the crown prince. Although I know that there is no filial son in front of the long hospital bed, but I only know it after the real experience, and the feeling is really sad.
