Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 399 Committing crimes (3)
"Yes, Wang Shangzhai has a kind heart, spared the little master Xue, and the servant took the order." Xiao Ruzi slapped a thousand words on the spot.

When he arrived at Hengwu Garden, Minggong walked slowly to Wu Susu's bedroom, and found Wu Susu reading a book there, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Concubine Su, I remember that you usually like riding horses the most, why are you also reading today?"

Wu Susu quickly put down the book in her hand, stepped forward to pay her respects, and lightly opened her lips and said, "My lord, this concubine just wants to imitate the empress and be an elegant lady."

Ming Gong forced a smile, helped Wu Susu up and said, "Don't work too hard, my daughter's brain will be damaged if she read too much family books, as the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue."

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that what the King said is not right. The daughter's family is the most intelligent. Why can't she study and acquire talent? The daughter's family is virtuous and talented. Isn't it better to assist your husband?" At this time, Wu Susu's side , a maid suddenly stepped forward to bow and salute, and replied loudly.That tactful voice, like a yellow warbler crying, is really pleasant.

Ming Gong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he looked at the maid in front of him, seeing her face like a lotus, waist like a willow, he couldn't help asking Wu Susu: "Concubine Su, who is this maid?"

Wu Susu rolled her eyes at the court lady, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "My lord, she is the concubine's personal maid, her name is Xin'er."

"Well, if there is a master, there must be a servant. You are so courageous. You can be called the husband of a woman. The widow wants to make you a talented person today. What do you think?" Ming Gong looked at Xin'er with blushing eyes happily. .

"This?" Xin'er hesitated, looking at Wu Susu in front of her.

Wu Susu couldn't help snorting: "Your Majesty, my concubine has just given birth to the eighth prince and is unable to serve her. It's good to have her, at least one more person can take care of you."

"Well, Concubine Su has become more and more sensible. She knows how to be virtuous and virtuous. Since this is the case, since Xiner is from Hengwuyuan, the widow will give her the title of Xingui and also live in Hengwuyuan." Minggong laughed happily. .

"The concubine thanked the king for his kindness on behalf of Xin'er!" Concubine Su hurriedly pulled Xin'er to kneel down and kowtow.

The Hall of Shuilong Scholars is already depressed and deserted at this time. Ever since Mr. Xuegui fell out of favor, the wall has been overthrown by everyone, and the moon silver in the Hall of Shuilong Scholars has been exploited by Concubine Su. She usually doesn’t have three meals a day, and she doesn’t have anything to ask for. Fortunately, Concubine Ge She still retains her concubine position, and she can still help Mrs. Xue so that she will not suffer from hunger or cold.

"My lord, why are you so helpless now? Your Majesty has restrained you, but the inner court must not abuse us. Just now, the slaves went to the small kitchen to ask for egg custard. Unexpectedly, when the eunuch in charge heard that it was our Shuilong Shuren Palace, You laughed out loud on the spot and kicked out your servants, you are weak, how will you live in the future?" The maid Hui Yue next to Mrs. Xue was carrying an empty basket, seeing Mrs. Xue playing chess happily by herself, she couldn't help but With a long sigh.

"Sister Huiyue, you used to be the Queen's sister. You should know that the Queen's sister has experienced hardships. Now, although our Shuilong Shuren Palace is suffering, compared with us, Jianjia Palace is even more miserable. Since the queen sister can bear it, we will certainly be able to bear it." Xue Gui smiled at Hui Yue.

"Don't you know, my lord? The empress has been seriously ill since the day before yesterday, and now Wu Susu is in power, ordering all the palaces in the harem not to approach Jianjia Palace, so the empress does not know what to do now?" Hui Hui Moon said dejectedly.

"What? Huiyue? The queen's sister is ill? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xue Gui was startled into a cold sweat and stared at her big eyes in surprise.

"My lord, your majesty has long ordered that no one in our Shuilong Shuren Hall is allowed to set foot in the Jianjia Palace. You won't be able to see the empress!" Hui Yue said with a frown.

"Could it be that the queen is seriously ill and the king doesn't care about it? The king is so cruel!" Xue Gui immediately said with a heartbroken heart.

"My lord, it's useless for us to be anxious. Now, Jianjia Palace is surrounded by guards, and no one is allowed to approach it. The empress is sick. I heard that no one cares about the entire Chaoyang Palace. What's the use of us going? Maybe If you have offended the king, something big will happen!" Hui Yue persuaded with painstaking efforts.

"Huiyue, we can no longer stand by like this. The Queen's sister is seriously ill. It must be that Wu Susu and his gang have blocked the news of the Jianjia Palace from letting the king know. We can go directly to the Qinzheng Hall to find the king, and maybe we can tell the truth. What!" Xue Gui asked anxiously.

"But my lord, how can we get out of the Shuilong Shuren Palace?" Hui Yue frowned. "This is easy to handle. Let's call a few eunuchs who are guarding outside, bring them in and control them, and take their clothes and hats and go out as eunuchs." Xue Gui said with an idea.

It was already evening in the Water Dragon Shuren Palace, when the palace gate opened, two timid little eunuchs, carrying their badges, stepped out of the guard's defense area all the way, and ran towards the Qinzheng Palace where Minggong was discussing politics.

Just at this time, Ming Gong summoned Cheng Rong, Lu Kai and other cabinet ministers, rode on a dragon chariot, and under the guard of honor guards, they marched over in a mighty manner. In the guard of honor, two people suddenly rushed in and bumped into Ming Gong In front of his royal driver, he kowtowed and shouted for grievances, so frightened that the guards around Minggong rushed forward. Minggong took a closer look and found that the two young eunuchs kneeling in front of him seemed to have known each other before, and he couldn't help saying loudly: "You raise your head."

The little eunuch flashed his eyes in response, and met Ming Gong's eyes. "Mr. Xuegui? You girl, how dare you come here wearing eunuch's clothes? Don't you want to live?" Mingong said angrily.

Xuegui quickly kowtowed a few times, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, help me, the Queen's sister is dying in Jianjia Palace, but the people in the palace don't know what kind of heart they are in, but they are not allowed to inform the king. If the king doesn't know like this, maybe, how long will it take before the king will never see the queen's sister, it's unknown."

"What? Is there such a thing?"
