Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 18
The sheep house is located outside the Xuanwu Gate and inside the Bei'an Gate.

In fact, it is the corridor between the imperial city and the palace city. Because there are high palace walls on both sides, and because it is the place where the royal sheep are raised, it is called "the corridor between the sheep house".

On the west wall between the sheep houses, there is an inconspicuous door opening. That is the cold palace that the palace people talk about, and it is known as the Nei'an Hall where there is no entry and exit.

Zhu Di ran through the palace gates with Zhu Zhen on his back, and only let him go here, and then knocked on the closed palace gate.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Zhu Zhen was taken aback for a while by seeing the familiarity of the road.If he hadn't known that there were only women in the Nei'an Letang, he would have wondered if the fourth brother had also been thrown into the cold palace.

There was no one on duty outside the door, and the entire sheep house was empty, except for the sound of Zhu Di's urgent knock on the door.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

After a while, there was movement inside.

"Who is it? Do you know where this is?" A rude female voice responded.

"Gu Nai King of Yan, who came with the King of Chu to pass the decree to pick him up, why don't you open the door quickly!"

"Your Highness, is it true?" A woman's muttering sounded from inside.

"Are you stupid? Who dares to pretend to be His Highness in the Forbidden City?"

After dawdling for a while, the door finally opened a crack, and a middle-aged female official wearing a blue jacket skirt and a green bijia came out.

Seeing the two highnesses wearing dragon robes, the female officer quickly knelt down and professed to be Sizheng Niu from Nei'an Letang.

The two Highnesses were too lazy to talk to her, and they were about to walk inside.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness." But Niu Sizheng stood up and stopped him, saying, "Please announce the decree before entering."

"Xuan, Xuan..." Zhu Di impatiently touched his cuffs, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly groped his body with both hands. "Where is the edict? Why can't I find it?"

"Have you lost your way?" Zhu Zhen was also anxious.

"Two daredevils, here they are." The two hurriedly turned their heads to look for them, but they saw the elder brother who was following behind, holding the copy of the edict in his hand.

"Ah, brother, did you pick it up?" Zhu Di blushed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: "I guess I lost it halfway."

As he spoke, he wanted to reach for it, but the crown prince didn't give it to him, but handed it to Zhu Zhen.

"Lao Six, you come to declare."

"Yes, brother." Zhu Zhen quickly took it with both hands, took a deep breath, and opened it.

Fortunately, there are no unfamiliar words in the plain and easy-to-understand vernacular throughout.

Niu Sizheng also hurriedly opened the front door and knelt down to listen to the order with a few hands.

"In the imperial edict, the An Le Tang is in charge, and the concubine Hu Sisi has expired, and she can return to the palace. I will send it back immediately, as enacted by the imperial edict."

"Your Majesty, I would like to deliver the edict!" Niu Sizheng responded loudly, received the edict with both hands, and after checking that it was correct, he stood up and said respectfully: "Please, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhen quickly stepped in.

Zhu Di also wanted to keep up, but was held back by his elder brother.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry." Zhu Biao straightened his collar and said in a gentle voice, "My wife and I meet again, let's not join in the fun."

"Yes, fourth brother, Xiaoliu is the protagonist today." Zhu Wei also said softly.

"Yes, I was too much for the show." Zhu Di suddenly nodded, and said with a smirk, "It's great that the sixth son can see his mother again and save her from the cold palace..."

Thinking of the scene of the sixth mother and her son crying in their arms, his nose felt sore, and he hurriedly turned his head to the corner of the wall.

~~
Under the leadership of Niu Sizheng, Zhu Zhen walked in quickly.

The Nei'an Music Hall is unexpectedly large, and the courtyards are connected with each other across courtyards.

Because the Forbidden City has only been completed for a few years, even this cold palace is new.The red walls, yellow tiles, and bucket arches and cornices look the same as the inner palace.

It's just that the strong smell of medicine pervading the courtyard, and the coughing and moaning sounds from the palace from time to time made Zhu Zhen very uneasy.

"My mother and concubine, are you alright?" His Highness King Chu asked in a shy voice.

"Of course the empress is fine, but she..." Niu Shanggong pointed to the innermost courtyard, hesitantly said: "Oh, the empress is inside, Your Highness should go in and see by yourself."

Zhu Zhen's heart felt as if it was being held tightly. He didn't know what went wrong with the concubine mother?
Is she crazy?Silly?Or was he bullied by the servants?You're not being forced to clean the toilet, are you?

In those Gongdou dramas, the tragic experience of the heroine after being thrown into the cold palace flashed before Zhu Zhen's eyes like a revolving lantern, making him breathless.

He took three steps at a time and rushed to the front of the small courtyard, when he heard the voice of a woman making noise inside.

"Hi, sisters!"

"Eight horses..."

It seems to be a drinking order.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help being furious, these people are too presumptuous!The mother concubine was just thrown into the cold palace, but not deposed, she is still a thousand-year-old empress!How dare they be so arrogant, drinking and drinking in front of her before it was dark?
Sure enough, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the hairless phoenix was not as good as a chicken...

We must deal with them severely and vent our anger on the mother and concubine!

He slammed the door open, ready to scold these slaves who bullied the master!
Then his mouth seemed to be stuffed with an egg, and he opened his mouth wide open without making a sound.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was completely dumbfounded...

He thought about many scenes when mother and child meet, some crying, some heartbroken... He even imagined how he would go crazy when his mother and concubine were being bullied.

But I never expected that it would be such a scene——

In the well-cleaned courtyard, a red-burning charcoal stove was lit, and food was roasted on the stove, and rice wine was scalding.

Several women in palace attire were sitting around the fire, drinking and punching.

It's nothing, he had imagined the scene just now when he heard the movement.

But the problem is that the big beauty sitting horizontally on the front seat is exactly his mother and concubine who 'suffered in the cold palace'.

I saw that the concubine's skirt was so high that she stepped on the stool with one leg.The left hand is holding the wine bowl, and the thumb and index finger of the right hand are stretched forward, as if making a gesture of eight.

"Fifth leader..." Empress Chong concubine froze as she shouted the wine order and followed the prestige.

It's similar to the female officer who punched her, except that she has an extra middle finger on her right hand.

"666! Haha I won, my lady, you drink..."

However, she saw embarrassment written all over her drunken face, as if she had been immobilized.

"Son, son..." But soon after, the concubine became excited again.

"Mother Concubine, I'm here to pick you up." Zhu Zhen forced himself to ignore the chicken and duck bones, melon skins and fruit cores all over the floor, trying to get back the excitement of reunion.

The female officials who were drinking with Concubine Chong also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly kowtowed to His Highness King Chu, then walked out in desperation, and closed the courtyard door.

"Zhen'er, why did you come here?" Concubine Hu Chong got up excitedly and stepped forward, but her body staggered.

"Mother Concubine, are you drunk?" Zhu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"No, squatting for too long, my feet are numb." Hu Chongfei smiled coyly, but she was very thick, and immediately put the embarrassment behind her, hugged her son tightly, and kissed and kissed his chubby little face .

"My precious son, I miss my mother so much. Huh, mother misses you so much that I can't sleep all the time..."

She reeked of alcohol, and Zhu Zhen couldn't dodge it, almost spitting.

In the end, probably because she was too excited, the imperial concubine turned her head to the side and groaned herself first.

Zhu Zhen patted her on the back while looking up to the sky and sighing.

Yaoshou, how come you have such an unreliable mother!
