"A dog will jump over a wall when he is anxious, let alone a human?"
"Hahaha!" Hongde Longqiu couldn't help laughing. Although he has never thought about what it would be like for eunuchs and palace maids to rebel, what Concubine Zhu said is not unreasonable. Since the founding of the dynasty, many eunuchs and palace maids have been kidnapped.
People are buried, but those who live are not without complaints, not without fear, and the lack of resistance does not mean that they will not resist.
"Your Majesty, kindness does not mean weakness. If you are so kind to all people, how can the people around you not be without it? Furthermore, if you want to get it, you must first give it to him. When everyone around you is grateful and virtuous to the emperor, the emperor will definitely get it.
More. If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should be embraced by a spring. The crow knows how to feed you back, let alone the emperor who has the grace of rebirth for you?"
Hongde Longqiu's eyes couldn't help but light up, he pulled Concubine Zhu up, raised her chin, and smiled appreciatively, "What my concubine said makes sense. I appreciate this decree." This favor was granted.
She sold it to this concubine. Who told her that her words really sounded good?
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness." Meng Xinzhu knelt down again to express her gratitude. Finally it was done!
"Xiao Mingzi." Hongde Longqiu returned to his seat.
Eunuch Ming hurried in and said, "My servant is here!"
"It is hereby announced that from today onwards, death by death will be abolished in the palace." Eunuch Ming looked up at the emperor in astonishment, and then at Concubine Zhu who was standing aside. Hongde Longqiu smiled again, "Don't go and pass the order yet.
!”
"Yes, I obey the order." After saying that, he glanced at Concubine Zhu again before leaving in a hurry.
Hongde Longqiu faced Zhu Fei and said, "Come to me."
Meng Xinzhu had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but now she still had to act out, so she walked over slowly.
Hongde Longqiu took her hand and said, "My dear concubine, everyone in the palace owes me a favor today. How can I thank you?"
"The emperor's decree just now is already a favor to my concubine."
The smile on Hongde Longqiu's lips deepened. This woman is really smart. The so-called grace is not for herself. Once this decree comes out, everyone in the palace will be grateful to her, and it will also make her admire her with admiration. This should be
That's what she said, if you want to take something, you must give it to her first. "Hahaha, okay, then I will give my concubine another grace and allow you to ask for some rewards for yourself."
Concubine Zhu suddenly knelt down and said, "I am very frightened. I have selfish desires when I asked for the order just now, so I dare not ask for any more rewards from the emperor."
"Oh?" Hongde Longqiu helped her up again, "What should I say?"
"Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for ten years and have been sick for ten years. If Ru'er and the others hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have been able to last this long. When I was seriously ill, I thought that if I had any chance, Ru'er and the others..." Meng Xinzhu paused
After a pause, "That's why I asked the emperor for this decree."
So that’s it. Hongde Longqiu nodded and said with a smile: “My beloved concubine is blaming me for being neglected, isn’t it?”
This rogue emperor, are you done yet? Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but frown after hearing this, then resumed her role as the bamboo concubine, and was about to kneel down. "I don't dare!"
Hongde Longqiu had already stopped her first, "I do have my shortcomings. Now that I have passed away, my beloved concubine's body is also recovering. It will be time for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine." Meng Xinzhu nodded obediently, "My love.
Concubine, it's already late at night, please rest with me." Hongde Longqiu felt Concubine Zhu suddenly shake, "My dear concubine, what's wrong?"
Meng Xinzhu knelt down hurriedly, "I am very frightened. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
"Oh?" Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but frown. The implication of this was that he was rejected again!
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am in the period of the month of letter, so it is not easy for me to serve the Holy Master."
Hongde Longqiu looked at Concubine Zhu with deep eyes and tapped the table with his fingers. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said, "Concubine Zhu, please get back on your feet. You take good care of your health. I will come back to listen to your singing some other time." After that,
, and left directly.
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but exhale, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. OK, Concubine Zhu's wish has been fulfilled! She stood by the window and looked at the starry sky. Now that she had no worries, she should think about her own affairs.
The situation was getting more and more dangerous. This bamboo concubine could no longer pretend. It would be better for her to leave as soon as possible. Just as she was thinking about this, Ru'er and three others walked into the room and fell to their knees one after another. "What are you doing?
?”
"Your Majesty, slave/servant, I thank you for your kindness!"
Meng Xinzhu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the three of them up, "Get up, I already know your thoughts, please get up quickly."
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. You should receive nine bows from us."
"Wait a minute!" Meng Xinzhu stretched out her hand to stop the three people who were about to kneel down again, "I'm not in good health, so don't let me help you all the time. No favors or no favors, no thanks, you take care of me.
Year, how many times do I have to kowtow for such a great favor?"
"Your Majesty, your words are serious, Your Majesty..."
"Okay, there's no need to say anything. I understand that everything can be said without saying anything. It's late at night, let's all rest!"
Meng Xinzhu got up very early the next day, and she quietly finished a set of Tai Chi. Now that Ru'er and the others' matters were settled, it was time to make plans for herself. She had also read a lot of books and TV about the palace, and knew that here
It's hard to get in and out, and I don't have the powerful light skills described in martial arts novels. I can fly around. Even high palace walls can come and go with ease. If I use the eight-claw rope, I can move on my own.
No matter how fast you go, you may have been caught by the imperial guards who patrolled the night before you reach the halfway point. And the most important thing now is that the emperor already knows about Concubine Zhu. He can't disappear out of thin air, otherwise Ru'er and the others will be able to escape alive.
Although he was martyred, he could not escape the serious crime of losing the imperial concubine. It seemed that the best way was to run away by himself.
But how to die? Meng Xinzhu has been thinking about this problem these days, and this method of death must be the kind that gives them no chance to conduct an autopsy. Use fire? Meng Xinzhu looked at this bamboo garden. Although it is not magnificent, if
If he burned it with a fire, he would still be too sinful, and water and fire are ruthless, and he might even hurt others. Oh, water! Wouldn't it be better to find a place to pretend to drown? Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
Meng Xinzhu was walking in the imperial garden, and Eunuch Chen followed her quietly. Since the day when the death penalty was abolished and the empress refused to sleep with her, the emperor did not appear in the bamboo garden for several days, nor did he summon Concubine Zhu. Look.
It seemed that the emperor was really angry, but Eunuch Chen was really puzzled when he saw that Concubine Zhu was so happy to visit the imperial garden. Isn't she afraid of annoying the emperor and living a life like a cold palace from now on?
