On New Year's Eve, Zhao Sidan did not follow him into the palace for the banquet.
He stayed in the courtyard and spent a lively New Year's Eve with Lu Yingxue, Yu Zhan, and all the servants in the courtyard.
There is a custom of keeping the year old in Dahe Village. After coming to the capital, he also brought a group of servants to keep the year old. However, in the middle of the night, he heard that something happened in the palace.
He hurriedly drove to the suburbs to find his third brother to ask what was going on, but there were only a few people left at the garrison. Only then did he know that something big had really happened.
He had no choice but to meet up with his eldest cousin, and together they went to a safe alley near the imperial city to wait for news. In that alley, he heard countless screams, fires everywhere, and rivers of blood...if his eldest cousin hadn't been with him all the time. Around him, he didn't know if he could make it to the next day.
"mother……"
Zhao Sidan was already fifteen years old this year, but he still cried uncontrollably.
Zhao Sanniu also cried suppressedly.
It was only after he arrived at the gate of the imperial city that he learned that a palace coup had occurred. It was also at that time that he realized that his mother had attended the palace banquet.
He followed the General Hussar into the imperial city and fought all the way to the main hall where the palace banquet was held. He was so jealous that he would chop off the heads of anyone who was a rebel... He didn't know how many heads he had chopped off. All he knew was that he could not find his mother...
Later, the emperor, queen and queen mother were all safe, but there was still no trace of my mother.
He really thought he would never see his mother again. At that moment, his sky collapsed and he didn't even want to live anymore...
"Mom, you can't do this again." Zhao Sanniu choked and said, "If something happens to you, what should we do..."
Cheng Wanwan touched the heads of her two sons: "They are both grown men now. They are crying like a three-year-old child. Mom promises you that you will never act so recklessly again. How about it? Don't worry. ?"
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan shook their heads at the same time.
They couldn't remember how many times this had happened to their mother.
Every time, he puts himself in danger to protect irrelevant people.
If outsiders sacrifice themselves for others, they will admire them.
But the person who sacrificed himself to save others was the mother who gave birth to them. They could not give birth to admiration, only worry and anxiety.
"Wipe your tears and go to Renshou Palace." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "The Queen Mother said she wanted to see you two, so she should give you a reward. Just accept whatever the Queen Mother rewards you. After thanking you, leave quickly. Don't Stay longer.”
There was Princess Rongqing in Renshou Palace, and she had to guard against her.
After Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan went to Renshou Palace, the Queen Mother indeed rewarded them with many small gadgets and even kept them to eat.
The two boys kept Cheng Wanwan's words in mind and did not dare to stay too long. After thanking the Queen Mother, they did not dare to eat and hurriedly followed the young eunuch out of the palace.
Cheng Wanwan's injury got better day by day.
She lived in Kunning Palace, with the Queen accompanying her every day, the Crown Princess taking personal care of her, and the Emperor, Queen Mother and Prince visiting her from time to time, so her status naturally increased.
Every afternoon, the women in the harem would come to visit Cheng Wanwan on the pretext of paying their respects to the queen, and all of them would surround Cheng Wanwan with all kinds of compliments.
Of course, there are also disturbing things in between. For example, Princess Rongqing always says something connotative when she comes.
Just like now, Rongqing said with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Sui lives in Kunning Palace, but the emperor's sister-in-law has to move to the emperor's side palace temporarily. People who don't know think that Mrs. Sui is the owner of the harem. ...I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, please don't blame the emperor's sister-in-law and Mrs. Sui."
Cheng Wanwan also had a smile on her face: "It's normal for Princess Rongqing to say the wrong thing. After all, she has not been taught by palace officials since she was a child. It's okay to be rude occasionally."
Rong Qing suddenly turned pale.
After this bitch was promoted to a second-class lady, she dared to mention her childhood in public. This showed that she had no regard for the princess.
But think about it, this bitch is protected by the emperor and queen, supported by the queen mother, and has so many concubines and princesses fawning over her. Naturally, she will not respect a princess who is not of royal blood.
In the past, she could rely on the Queen Mother, but now, she can only rely on herself.
While this bitch is still living in the palace, she must come up with a proper way to avoid future troubles.
Rongqing left Kunning Palace with a gloomy look.
The queen frowned slightly: "Although she was a little bit petty in the past, she never made anyone get off the stage on the spot. Why do I feel that she doesn't like you Wanwan very much?"
"Your Majesty, I think the same thing. I also think Princess Rongqing hates me." Cheng Wanwan raised her eyes, "On the night of the Palace Change on New Year's Eve, the former prince Xiao Jue said something to me before he died. I have always suppressed it in my heart and dare not say it, but now, I don’t want to hide it for Princess Rongqing anymore.”
The queen said in surprise: "Don't be afraid, Wanwan, no matter what Xiao Jue said, it has nothing to do with you, just say it."
"At that time, Xiao Jue wanted to kill the prince. At the critical moment, I could only think of ways to delay, so I asked Xiao Jue why he wanted to kill the innocent Princess Duanmin." Cheng Wanwan said slowly, "He said he had no reason to kill Princess Duanmin. I I thought, at such a moment, there is no need for a person like him to lie... I continued to ask, and he said that Princess Duan Min did die under his sword, but she was pushed in front of him by a palace maid. Killed the princess by mistake.”
"It's like this..." The queen didn't expect to hear such words at all, "Did Xiao Jue say what the palace maid looks like?"
Cheng Wanwan pursed her lips and said, "Today's Princess Rongqing is the maid who pushed the princess out."
The queen sat there completely.
After Duan Min returned to the palace, her personality became closed and only Rongqing could get close to her, so the Queen Mother asked Rongqing to stay in the palace to accompany Duan Min.
The palace incident more than ten years ago resulted in the death of Duan Min, and Rongqing was seriously injured. After the wound healed, a birthmark exactly like Duan Min appeared, so he was named the princess and enjoyed the honor for more than ten years. .
If Rongqing is the real murderer of Duan Min, then...
The Queen couldn't imagine how the Queen Mother would react if she found out about this.
"But, these are just my one-sided words." Cheng Wanwan pursed her lips, "Even if Xiao Jue was still alive, the Queen Mother would not believe such words coming from Xiao Jue's mouth. After all, Princess Rongqing He is cute and cute, but Xiao Jue is a murderous maniac..."
Queen Nana said: "Are we going to let Rongqing continue to act like a princess?"
She suddenly thought that in the underground palace, everyone was willing to stay and advance and retreat with the royal family, but Rongqing was the first to propose to leave first.
A person who is not of royal blood has gained countless honors by relying on the royal family, but in times of crisis, he does not hesitate to abandon the royal family.
This is simply a white-eyed wolf.
"Can the Queen go and find out the true cause of death of Princess Rongqing's biological parents and siblings?" Cheng Wanwan said softly, "Princess Rongqing said that her family members died in that brawl, and not a single one of them died. Survived, because her family was all gone, so the Queen Mother kept her by her side and recognized her as her daughter... My intuition tells me that this matter is probably not that simple."
The queen's eyes narrowed slightly: "I understand what you mean. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible."
