"Jiang Wanyin stood at the door and looked outside at the dark sky. The snow had stopped, the wind had stopped, but the sky was so dark that it was about to fall to the ground. It made people feel like they had entered a demon realm. .”

"Everything in the world seems to have stopped. Jiang Wanyin listened attentively to the faint sound, and Jiang Wanyin's expression became serious."

"Come on."

"Miss."

"Pass down this palace's oral order to immediately close all the palace gates of Yuxiu Palace, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Anyone who violates this will be killed!" Jiang Wanyin's eyes and tone were filled with murderous intent, making the palace staff tremble. "

"Yes, ma'am."

"Come here. I will pass on the oral order of the palace, ordering the concubines of the court to close the palace gates and not go out, and then send people to guard the gates of each courtyard. Anyone who wants to enter or leave will be imprisoned by the palace."

"come..."

"Jiang Wanyin's order was arranged one by one, and the shouts of killing outside were getting closer and closer. Jiang Wanyin sat alone on the head of Tianxiu Palace and sat quietly, and the palace people dared not make a sound."

"After a while, the palace gate was suddenly slammed, and the shouts came from outside the palace wall, but Jiang Wanyin turned a deaf ear to it."

"The knocking on the door and shouting continued, but Jiang Wanyin was surprised that she didn't hear the sound of weapons clashing and shouts of killing."

It seems that things have not reached the point where she is worried.

After a day and a night, when the morning sun pierced the eastern sky, the outside finally calmed down, and the entire harem became silent.

Jiang Wanyin sat without sleep for a day and a night, and no one in the Tianxiu Hall except Jiang Wanyin's little granddaughter dared to sleep. They were afraid that if they fell asleep, they would never have the chance to wake up again.

Not only Tianxiu Palace, but the entire Yuxiu Palace did not dare to sleep.

"It's good that Jiang Wanyin is courageous. The concubines in the palace, especially the young concubines, were so scared that they hid under the quilt and cried all night."

Feeling the silence, guessing that the matter should have calmed down, Jiang Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, it's already dawn, and you've been sitting all day and night, so you can take a rest."

Cuihu came in to persuade Jiang Wanyin.

"hold on."

There is no news yet, where she can rest assured to sleep.

Just at this time, another eunuch reported that someone knocked on the palace gate and called to open the palace gate.

Before Jiang Wanyin could respond, Cuihu immediately became nervous.

"Ma'am, are they here again?"

"probably not."

After such a long time, things are over.Those people will never come again.

"Liu Cheng, go and see for yourself who it is."

Liu Cheng received the order to ask in person, and within a quarter of an hour Liu Cheng came back panting.

"Your Majesty, it's Eunuch Li who is next to His Majesty, and he said that His Majesty has a decree to take you to Qianji Palace, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty wants me to go to Ganji Palace?"

Jiang Wanyin frowned.

"Have you heard clearly, the person here is really Li Jiu?"

"It's absolutely true. The servant even opened a small door to see that it is indeed Eunuch Li outside the palace gate."

If it was Li Jiu, it would be a sage who summoned her.

"Come here, change the clothes of the servant Bengong."

Jiang Wanyin changed into a simple and elegant palace attire, and used a dark foundation on her face. It was obvious that she was haggard and old, and she had lost her previous good looks. She led the palace people to the gate of the palace.

"Open the door."

With a creak, the palace door was slowly pushed open, and Jiang Wanyin happened to see Li Jiu turn around.

"The maidservant kowtows to the empress Jin'an."

"Eunuch Li is exempt."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has called you to Qianji Palace. The sedan chair is ready, please get on the sedan chair."

Jiang Wanyin walked out of Yuxiu Palace, and saw a bright yellow phoenix roof, Jiang Wanyin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Jiu in astonishment.

"This... Li Jiu, are you mistaken? I'm just Concubine Shu, and I'm not qualified to be this paternal servant."

"If you go back to your mother, this is His Majesty's order. Please get on the sedan chair."

Jiang Wanyin was puzzled and couldn't figure out what the saint meant for a while, but she also thought that Li Jiu would not dare to falsely preach the imperial decree.

It's just that Jiang Wanyin was extremely uneasy about what the saint meant.Is she going or not?

Without waiting for Jiang Wanyin to think about it, Li Jiu personally stepped forward to help her.

"and many more."

"Eunuch Li, has the imperial concubine gone?"

"No. His Majesty only summoned you, your majesty."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still waiting for you. The servants are waiting for you."

Li Jiu personally helped Jiang Wanyin get on the sedan chair, and Jiang Wanyin could only get on the sedan chair.Sitting in the sedan chair, Jiang Wanyin was full of doubts, not knowing what the saint meant.This Li Jiu did not miss a single word, which made Jiang Wanyin feel uneasy.

When they arrived at Qianji Palace, Jiang Wanyin was helped by Li Jiu to get off the sedan chair, and Li Jiu helped her into the saint's bedroom of Qianji Palace.

Speaking of being in the palace for decades, this is Jiang Wanyin's first time entering the saint's bedroom.Only Empress Yuan and his successors have entered the holy man's bedroom, and the other concubines, even the most favored concubines Lin Guifei and Zhen Guifei, have never set foot there.

Concubines who come to Qianji Palace to sleep can only sleep in Yanxi Palace in the side hall, even if noble concubines come to Qianji Palace.

When Jiang Wanyin entered the inner room, she saw the saint lying on the dragon bed.However, I haven't seen him for more than a month. Jiang Wanyin's impression of the saint who is old but not old but still energetic is now graying and looks like a shriveled old man.

The saint closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

Liang Jiu walked to the dragon bed and whispered in the saint's ear:

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

The sage opened his eyes just now, the eyes that were as sharp as the eagle's eyes in the past had become cloudy, but the eyes were still sharp at the moment they opened; but they soon softened.

"Come here. Sit down."

The saint patted the dragon bed, and Jiang Wanyin walked over and sat down.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Wanyin looked worried, with tears in her eyes, she reached out to hold the saint's withered hand.

"Don't worry, don't cry, I'm fine."

The saint stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Wanyin's haggard face, his expression softened.

"But did it scare you?"

Jiang Wanyin was puzzled by the change of the saint, but she didn't show it at all.

"The concubine is so courageous, they didn't scare the concubine, but your majesty, you did, your majesty..."

Jiang Wanyin threw herself into the arms of the sage, not disliking the sage for being a shriveled old man.

"All right. All right. All right. All right."

It took a while for Jiang Wanyin to raise her head and sit up.

"My concubine is disrespectful, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jiang Wanyin was also concerned about the saint's body, and didn't ask any other questions.But the sage couldn't help asking first.

"Aren't you going to ask?"

"The concubine is just a woman who regards her husband as her heaven. As long as your majesty is still a concubine, there is nothing to worry about."

"As for the children, they are the children of concubines and His Majesty's children; as long as they keep their own place, Your Majesty will not treat them badly. But if they do something wrong, Your Majesty, you are their father, and fathers educate their children. It should be. There is nothing to worry about in such a concubine."

"Furthermore, I also believe in my children, and I also believe in His Majesty's teachings. Children are all filial."

If something really happened to her child, the saint might never see her again, and the imperial decree of condemnation might have been issued long ago, so why would he call her to Qianji Palace.

After serving the sage for decades, he knew more or less about the sage Jiang Wanyin.

She had already gotten through with her sons and daughters, and it would never be wrong to let her son stay by the saint's side and be filial to the saint.

"You don't have to worry, our children are all good children. You gave me three good and filial children."

Thinking of his son who blocked the knife for him, the saint was still very moved.

The two talked for a while, and the saint's spirit was sluggish.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

"Your Majesty, you will rest. I will guard you."

"Your complexion is not good, it must be because you didn't sleep last night. You also come up to accompany me to have a rest."

The saint patted the dragon bed, obviously wanting Jiang Wanyin to rest on the dragon bed with him.

After coming to Qianji Palace, although Jiang Wanyin had a faint guess in her heart, she still didn't dare to be sure.

Fengyu Jiang Wanyin had already been taken aback before, but now Jiang Wanyin was still uneasy even though she saw that the saint's expression did not seem to be a false temptation.

This dragon bed is something she can lie on as a concubine.If the sage turned his back on her and charged her with the crime of usurping and coveting the successor, wouldn't she be miserable.

Jiang Wanyin frightenedly refused.

"No. No need. The concubine is not tired. It is enough for the concubine to guard you here."

"It's so tiring sitting there, come up."

The saint asked again.Jiang Wanyin didn't feel happy, but she was even more afraid in her heart. She was afraid that what the saint did was to find an excuse to abolish her.In fact, Jiang Wanyin never believed in a saint in her heart.

"Your Majesty, this is the dragon bed. How can a concubine be on the dragon bed?"

Jiang Wanyin looked puzzled and looked at the saint anxiously.

"I asked you to come up, why don't you go up. Be obedient."

The saint finally said something obedient, and Jiang Wanyin knew that the saint would not allow her to resist.

Jiang Wanyin had no choice but to take off her hairpin, took off her outer clothes, climbed onto the dragon bed and lay down beside the saint.The saint asked Jiang Wanyin to hide beside him, Jiang Wanyin leaned over according to the order, and the saint embraced her.

This time, Jiang Wanyin was frightened and uneasy, and felt very tormented.

After staying up for a day and a night, her body has reached its limit. If she hadn't come to Qianji Hall, she should have a rest by now.

Jiang Wanyin originally thought she couldn't fall asleep, but maybe it was because she was too tired, or maybe it was because of other reasons, she fell asleep full of thoughts after thinking about it.

Feeling the even breathing from his arms, the saint suddenly smiled.

He certainly did not see the wrong person.

The saint also closed his eyes to rest.

When Jiang Wanyin woke up again, she was awakened by Liang Jiu who came in to deliver the message.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here and she is asking to see you outside."

"not see."

As soon as Liang Jiu finished speaking, the sage immediately disappeared, which made Liang Jiu stunned for a while.

"Your Majesty, the servant also said that you are resting and asked the imperial concubine to go back, but the imperial concubine refused. Now the imperial concubine is kneeling outside the hall."

"Sister Guifei is here?" Jiang Wanyin wanted to sit up but was stopped by the saint.

"You rest for a while."

"Your Majesty, there is no need. The concubine has already rested. Since it is the concubine who is anxious to see you, I am afraid there is something urgent. Your Majesty, the concubine will go back first."

She still doesn't know what's going on, she can't stay in Qianji Hall anymore, she has to go back to find out the news.

"That's all. I can't let you have a good rest here. You should go back first."

"Ask Li Jiu to take your mother back home."

The sage ordered Liang Jiu, and Jiang Wanyin couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the sage addressing her.Concentrating her eyes and hiding her thoughts, Jiang Wanyin followed Liang Jiu out after the palace servants came in to take care of dressing and changing clothes.

When Jiang Wanyin went out, she saw Concubine Zhen Gui still kneeling down the steps, as if taking off her hairpin to plead guilty.Seeing Jiang Wanyin coming out of the hall, Concubine Zhen looked at her with a murderous look in her eyes.

Jiang Wanyin didn't care, anyway, Concubine Zhen wanted her to die for not a day or two.

When Jiang Wanyin walked past Concubine Zhen, she bent her knees and called Concubine Gui's sister, and left without waiting for Concubine Zhen to say anything.As long as the sage does not abolish the position of Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen will still be a noble concubine and the head of all concubines, and the four concubines must first salute her.

However, seeing Concubine Zhen taking off her hairpin to plead guilty, Jiang Wanyin guessed in her heart that what happened yesterday was related to Concubine Zhen's mother and son.

Jiang Wanyin urged the bearers who carried the sedan chair back to Yuxiu Palace.After returning, Jiang Wanyin sent someone out to inquire about the news.
