Shengpingle

Chapter 209 Preparation
Because Huo Yanzhi often came to Washington, Princess Ninghe had already ordered a courtyard in the outer courtyard to be allocated for him.

Hua Manzhou and Dang Gui rested in the courtyard assigned to Huo Yanzhi by Washington.

Princess Ninghe thought of Emperor Zhenghe who was going to Huanqiu, Huo Yanzhi and Hua Manzhou who were accompanying her, and Hua Pingle who was called into the palace, her heart jumped.

Something big is definitely about to happen, absolutely!
Princess Ninghe was terrified, and immediately ordered the carriage to be set up. She wanted to enter the palace, at least she had to bring out the wine!
I don't think that before she left Chunhua Hall, Dang Gui and Hua Manzhou greeted her from afar, and saluted with a smile, "Is the eldest princess going out for a walk? It happens that the little one is idle and has nothing to do, and the eldest princess is also taking the younger one with her." Bar?"

Princess Ninghe silently glanced at his smiling face and nodded.

Dang Gui asked Hua Manzhou to drive, while he accompanied Princess Ninghe in the car, and asked, "Princess Want to go around Hat Alley?
The second girl really likes the pear garden there, the martial arts show is definitely a must, why don't the eldest princess go and see it? "

Princess Ninghe remained calm, "Jiujiu is such a lively scene, by the way, what did the prince ask you to give Jiujiu?"

Danggui smiled narrowly, "The eldest princess wants to see, then I will secretly show the eldest princess a look, the eldest princess must never tell the prince."

As he spoke, he took out a kit from his sleeve, the eldest princess glanced at him, took it, and opened it.

Inside was a note with a line written by Hua Pingle himself: Tomorrow's hour, Mrs. Meng.

Princess Ninghe frowned fiercely, quickly holding the note in her palm, Jiujiu, Jiujiu, what does she want to do?
……

……

Besides, when Hua Pingle entered the palace to meet Xiao Mingqing, because of the two old nuns who were staring at Xiao Mingqing covetously, he didn't say much, and accompanied her to pay respects to Concubine Jiufang.

The noble concubine Jiufang didn't see them at all, she didn't get out of bed for a month because she was heartbroken about the death of the little prince.

Xiao Mingqing invited Ann outside, asked the concubine Jiufang how she was doing today, and told Haosheng to take care of her, and then she left the Changchun Palace.

Hua Pingle said, "Let's stop by to see the concubine Xian, oh, no, Sister Meng is now Concubine Meng."

Xiao Mingqing said, "Father ordered Concubine Meng to contemplate in closed doors for half a year, to pray for the little emperor's younger brother, and no one is allowed to visit, so we may not be able to enter."

Hua Pingle said, "Let's go and have a look, if we can't get in, forget it.

Meng Jiang is very worried about Sister Meng, since I have entered the palace, I will take a look on his behalf."

Xiao Mingqing nodded, and the two went back to the Buddhist hall.

Concubine Meng has now been demoted from concubine to concubine, and there has been a snake disaster in the original palace, so she can't live anymore, Emperor Zhenghe ordered her to be moved to the Buddhist hall in the palace.

At least until the end of the closed door meditation, she will always live in the Buddhist hall.

Sure enough, they were stopped in front of the Buddhist hall.

Hua Pingle came here just to find an excuse to justifiably invite Mrs. Meng to enter the palace to be a witness, there is no need to actually go in, it is enough to be here.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, there was a hissing and lung-piercing cry from inside, "Miss Hua Er! Miss Hua Er! Help!"

Hua Pingle heard the voice of Meng Cong's close maid, help?

After all, Concubine Meng is the granddaughter of old Meng's first assistant, and the death of the little prince has nothing to do with her directly.

It's normal for Zheng Hedi to lower her position and order her to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors, but help?
Where did this start?
The crying inside stopped abruptly, probably because the maid had her mouth covered.

Hua Pingle thought about it, and was about to rush in, but the woman guarding the door hurriedly stopped her, "Miss Hua Er, the emperor has ordered that concubine Meng pray for the little prince in peace here, no one is allowed to visit, Miss Hua Er Dare to resist the order?"

Xiao Mingqing was about to get angry, but was stopped by Hua Pingle. If he wanted to know about Concubine Meng's situation, he didn't have to blatantly "resist the edict".

Hua Pingle took Xiao Mingqing to the East Palace, "Xiao Mingshi" ordered her to be stopped outside the gate of the East Palace.

Hua Pingle didn't care either, she came here just to let "Xiao Mingshi" know that she was here, and she couldn't get in, with her Hua Er's temperament, she would never let it go.

After returning from the East Palace, Hua Pingle asked Xiao Mingqing to wait in the Imperial Garden, while he went to the Buddhist hall again.

Hua Ping was pleased with Huo Yanzhi's personal guidance, and was diligent and willing to learn. He successfully avoided the imperial guards, jumped onto the roof, and got into the Buddhist hall.

Concubine Meng lived in the Buddhist hall, so the imperial guards naturally did not dare to come in. As long as she entered the Buddhist hall, she would not be afraid that the maids serving in the palace would find her.

Hua Pingle fell to the ground silently, and like a cat, he shuttled through the Buddhist hall and entered the east chamber.

Concubine Meng really lived in the East Wing as she expected, inside the palace ladies and maids kept shuttling, and a strong smell of medicine came out from inside.

Hua Pingle's heart tightened. Is Concubine Meng sick?
And it was very serious, that's why her personal maid called for help?

There were too many people in the palace, Hua Pingle couldn't find a chance to go in, and even if he did, he definitely wouldn't have a chance to talk to Concubine Meng alone.

Hua Pingle thought for a while, then changed direction and went to the back seat where the people in the back palace lived, and sure enough, he found Concubine Meng's personal servant girl in one of them.

She had obviously been beaten, and she was lying on the bunk with her eyes closed, her face pale, and she didn't know if she had fallen asleep or passed out.

Hua Pingle stepped forward and shook her, she frowned in pain, but did not wake up.

Time was running out, Hua Pingle couldn't care less, and reached out to pat her acupuncture points.

She groaned in pain and slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw Hua Pingle, she lost her voice and wanted to cry.

Hua Pingle had been prepared for a long time, covered her mouth precisely, and lowered his voice, "Don't shout, tell me, what's wrong with Concubine Meng? Isn't she just praying behind closed doors?"

The servant girl burst into tears immediately, and choked up, "Miss, I don't know, the emperor kicked the empress several times, and the empress vomited blood on the spot, and she was beaten unconscious.

The empress was also heartbroken that the little prince had passed away, and fell ill all of a sudden. She wanted to see the old lady, but the emperor forbade it.

The empress was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she has always been thoughtful. After going through such suffering, she became sicker and sicker, but the emperor only allowed her to see her family.

The servant girl saw that the mother's illness was getting worse day by day, and she really couldn't help it. Today, she heard the second girl talking outside, so she yelled out."

When she said this, she choked up loudly uncontrollably, Hua Pingle sneered, Zheng Hedi had a lot of troubles, and couldn't maintain the false mask of a hypocrite!

Beating the concubine by himself, and fearing that the Meng family would know that it would hurt their face, they would just let the concubine be sick like this.

If Concubine Meng really had something good or bad because of this, then she really lost her life in vain!

"Second Miss, I beg you, I beg you, please send a message to Lord Jiu to invite the old lady or the third lady to come into the palace to see the empress!

The empress has been sick and confused for the past few days, and she has been yelling to see the old lady for the last time.

I beg the old lady to take her back to her hometown for burial, she will not die in this palace! "

Hua Ping smiled slightly, it seemed that Concubine Meng's situation was far more serious than she had imagined.

Fortunately, she came here this time to plot against the East Palace, otherwise Concubine Meng might really lose her life!

She comforted the maid, quietly left the Buddhist hall, and immediately sent Anu out of the palace to deliver a letter to Mrs. Meng and Princess Ninghe without mentioning it.

……

……

Before dawn the next day, news came from the Changchun Palace that the noble concubine Jiufang was vomiting blood.

Nian Yu hurried over, and after seeing the doctor for Concubine Jiufang, tied up all the waiters, and ordered Xu Bingbi to be invited.

How could Xu Bingbi dare to offend him for the sake of a few eunuchs, so he had to hold his nose and admit the crime of ineffective service by his own people.

Nian Yu sneered, "Xu Bingbi, we Ming people don't speak dark words, the emperor thinks that you, Bingbi, are better at training people than I am, so you have to use your people to serve the imperial concubine.

This seat is inferior to others, so I can only admit it.

This time the imperial concubine made such a big mistake, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask Bingbi to call everyone over, and let me personally pick a few for the empress, so I can rest assured, what do you think of Bingbi? "

Xu Bingbi, "..."

What else can he do?
Nian Yu obviously wanted to teach him a lesson while the emperor was away!
But he didn't have to confront him head-on, and suffered a secret loss, even the emperor couldn't save him.

But a few minions, they can be changed if they are changed, and Nian Yu can order by himself if he wants to, since they are all his people anyway.

Thinking of this, Xu Bingbi smiled apologetically and called a group of his own people over.

Nian Yu sneered again and again, "It's just these crooked melons and dates? Who is Bingbi embarrassing?
Also, with so many people, why hasn't this seat seen a person who is good at cooking and knows how to eat medicine?
I don't know if the empress is weak now, does she need such a slave the most? "

Xu Bingbi couldn't, so he had to send someone to call again.

Nian Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely, screaming, screaming, the more the better, this seat happened to be served in one pot.

Most of the dog emperor's cronies were called to the Changchun Palace, and it was much more convenient for the people in this seat to do something.

……

……

Only a gleam of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, and most of Xu Bingbi's people had already entered the Changchun Palace, and the people from Shangshi Bureau were the most removed.

Almost at the same time, Pingliang Mansion, hundreds of miles away, opened its gates to welcome the first wave of people who entered the city.

The sentinel on the city gate glanced down, yawned, and said to his companion, "The business of the Wen family is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, I saw the caravan of the Wen family walking."

The companion spoke enviously, "The only eldest grandson of the Great Xiao emperor has the blood of the Wen family running through his body!
Even if Concubine Wen is unfortunately gone, the Wen family will be the future uncle of the country with the eldest grandson of the emperor!Can the business not be big? "

The sentinel poked his companion with his elbow, "Look! Uncle Wen is personally escorting the team! The steward of the Wen family was definitely giving money to that kid just now!

Damn, the job of defending the city is still very lucrative!One day can be worth half a month's salary!

The Wen family's business is big, and they are generous with their sales. This time, Uncle Wen will do it himself, and he might be able to squeeze in half a year's salary for us! "

The companion was also envious, and secretly muttered that he wanted to change to a job of guarding the city gate.

Under the city gate, Uncle Wen entered the city first on a tall horse, and then looked back at the caravan entering the city in an orderly manner, his heart was slightly relieved in his throat.

Along the way, there are simple and easy city gates, just stuff some money, such as this Pingliang Mansion.

There are also those who are strictly interrogated, and he can only show the prince's jade pendant and his own handwriting.

Miss Hua Er must have also managed it secretly, and she passed it smoothly.

Fortunately, this is the last team, and the next checkpoint is Fengxiang Mansion, which is less than two hundred miles away from the capital.

Miss Hua Er sent a letter, as long as he sent him outside Fengxiang's mansion, he didn't have to take care of the rest.

Miss Hua Er acted fairly kindly, at least she left him a way out.

If Miss Hua'er's trip goes well, his Wen family will rise to a higher level of wealth, even if it doesn't go well, he can get away smoothly...

……

……

At the beginning of the hour, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng arrived outside the palace gate on time.

After a while, Princess Ninghe's Fengjia also arrived, but the only driver was not the coachman from Huafu, but Angelica.

After the two groups met, they went straight into the palace.

After passing the Zhengde Gate, Hua Pingle and Xiao Mingqing greeted him.

Mrs. Meng received a letter from Anu yesterday, and her heart was still hanging. When she saw Hua Pingle, she held her hand and tears fell.

"Hey boy, tell me what's going on with your mother?"

Hua Pingle explained the matter carefully before and after, and Mrs. Meng burst into tears when she heard this.

Her granddaughter was raised by thousands of nobles, and entered the palace to marry an old man whose body was half buried in the soil, not to mention being a widow, but also to raise a son for others.

Now because of a fault that was not her fault at all, she was trampled and beaten, half of her life was lost!
They have been kept in the dark, without any news!
Hua Pingle comforted in a low voice, "Your Majesty's maid begged me to bring you or Mrs. Meng San to see your Majesty.

I was afraid that those servants would use some imperial decree to suppress it, so I invited my grandmother to come together, and we went to ask the queen mother for grace."

Emperor Zhenghe was not in the palace, Wang Miaoer was grounded, and Concubine Meng, who was in charge of palace affairs, was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall. Naturally, the Queen Mother can only ask the decision on such matters.

Mrs. Meng naturally also knew this truth, but the Queen Mother didn't seem to be so merciful that she would rather go against the government and the emperor, and let them see Meng's concubine.

It's just that until now, they have no other choice but to ask the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, as soon as the Queen Mother heard what they said, she refused without hesitation, saying that the matter had nothing to do with her own business, "The Emperor personally ordered Meng Meng to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors, and no one is allowed to visit her.

It's not good to go against the emperor's will even if you mourn your family.

Besides, the emperor will be back tomorrow afternoon.

You handed over the sign and entered the palace the day after tomorrow, and you just go to ask the emperor, even if you think about your granddaughter, it won't be a day and a half."

If it is natural that you are not here for a day and a half, but now that Mrs. Meng heard that Concubine Meng even said "I don't want to die in the palace", how can I wait?

Let alone a day and a half, even a quarter of an hour, she couldn't wait any longer!
And Zheng Hedi always loves face, I'm afraid they won't be allowed to see him when he comes back!

Mrs. Meng was worried about her granddaughter and refused to give up easily, so she begged, "Please be merciful to the Queen Mother. If it is really impossible to meet, we can just say a few words with the empress outside the house."

The Queen Mother sneered, "I told you a long time ago that the Ai family has no way to decide on this matter. If you really want to see her, just go."

Princess Ninghe raised her eyebrows, "You have the right to do things. I heard that Concubine Meng is ill. She misses her family very much. Please ask the Queen Mother to forgive me."

Ever since Hua Pingle messed up the marriage between Princess Yongchuan and Hua Ping'an on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Queen Mother knew that she had completely torn face with Princess Ninghe.

At this time, I didn't bother to flatter her anymore, and said in a strange way, "This person has already entered the gate of the palace, who is her family, Ninghe, you have to think clearly."

Princess Ninghe was angry, Hua Ping said angrily, "Grandmother, let's go, don't beg her! I'll beg the prince's cousin!"
