In the next few days, the weather quickly cooled down, with autumn rain and wind, and Shen Dingzhu raised it for three or four days.
The last time she woke up, she was still lying on the ground. The sun was shining brightly outside. Her lips were dry and her whole body was dazed and confused, like a fading flower.
Fortunately, Shen Dingzhu still had obsessions in her heart. No matter how sad she was, she had to think about her family, Chengcheng, and the child in her belly.
So when the imperial army sent meat food again, she tried not to resist. She washed it twice with boiling hot tea before reluctantly eating it.
During the days when she was locked up, she missed her children the most, so she put her emotions on paper, wrote countless poems, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them in the corner until there was no more rice paper in her palace.
During the days when she was locked in the palace, she didn't know that great turmoil and changes had taken place in the court. Xiao Langyan was free to curb the development of the family's power. If any courtiers who formed cliques for selfish purposes were found, they would be immediately reprimanded.
Sun Qingya fell ill after returning from the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and Mr. Sun became even more silent in the court. Xiao Langyan's lukewarm attitude towards the Sun family made the choice of queen a mystery again.
Xiao Langyan had never been to the harem once, but at this time, Du Jieyu was suddenly promoted to Concubine Shu by Xiao Langyan, and she was on an equal footing with Concubine Cui De. For a time, the Cui family and the Du family were fighting fiercely in the court, and they refused to give in to each other. , the structure of the imperial court quietly changed.
The results of the first round of the imperial examination came out. The person who got the top prize was from a poor family. His surname was Meng. He was a disciple of former Prime Minister Shen. At this time, the battle between the Jin Kingdom and the Changliu Kingdom was a complete victory. The regent of the Liu Kingdom proposed to marry Fu Yunqiu, and also promised to send a princess to the Jin Kingdom for everlasting friendship.
Time gradually passes, and there are only four days left to the day Shen Dingzhu died of poisoning in his previous life.
She had been careful and deliberately avoided putting food in her mouth, but she still felt uneasy.
On this day, the two bursts of autumn rain finally stopped. Although the sky was still gloomy, the continuous rain curtain was like a constant cutting of melancholy, which made people worried.
Shen Dingzhu was in the hall, holding the book she had read before, and started reading again. She could only keep looking for things to distract her attention, otherwise she would go crazy if she was locked in this cold and empty hall every day. Understand.
Suddenly, rustling footsteps were heard outside the hall. She turned her head slightly to listen, and a familiar voice with a crying tone sounded outside the door——
"Your Majesty, Grandma Song is dying! She is going to die!"
Shen Dingzhu stood up suddenly and staggered to the door: "Shen Bi? Is it you? What happened to Grandma Song?!"
Shen Bi knelt on the white jade steps outside the palace, crying hoarsely. The imperial army ordered her to leave, but she refused to leave.
"Before, Grandma Song rolled down the steps and hit her head. She has been unable to wake up for a long time. Recently, she can't drink any medicinal soup. Concubine Du Shu ordered people to carry Grandma Song from the Imperial Hospital to the rape room. She also said that she would not be allowed to The imperial doctor is wasting no more medicinal materials to treat her."
"Concubine Cui De was made ill by Concubine Du Shu last time. I couldn't see her, so I had to come to you."
"My Majesty, please beg your Majesty. Nanny Song can still be saved. The last time I went to visit her, she opened her eyes slightly. If she is really sent to the rape room, she will only die! My Majesty, wuwu... Without you, the life of the slaves will be extremely difficult."
The imperial guards drew their swords and shouted threats: "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
At this moment, there was a sound of the table falling over in the hall.
The imperial guards guarding the door looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
Could it be that Concubine Shen was injured inside, or maybe she hit the window with the table and escaped?
One of them quickly opened the lock, and as soon as he walked in to check, Shen Dingzhu, who was hiding behind the door, hit the back of the neck with a vase.
There was a sound of breaking porcelain, and the imperial guard fainted. Shen Dingzhu hurriedly picked up her skirt, stepped out of the threshold and fled.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has an order, you must not run around!" The other two Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Shen Bi hurriedly grabbed the two of them: "Empress! Go quickly, my servant is dragging them!"
Shen Dingzhu didn't look back. She ran down the white jade steps with her skirt in hand. She even forgot to put on shoes. Her white and tender feet stepped on the white jade steps. The moon-blue skirt was long and winding, like a fire burning behind her. Beautiful blue flames, flying green hair, cool and beautiful.
Seeing Shen Dingzhu running away, the imperial guards became anxious and kicked Shen Bi aside.
"Cough..." Shen Bi's back hit the stone pillar, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Hurry up! We can't let Concubine Shen run away." The two Imperial Guards immediately gave chase.
Shen Dingzhu relied on his memory and went straight to the Tai Hospital.
Sure enough, she saw Concubine Du Shu, wearing a different gorgeous dress than before, arrogantly directing several young eunuchs: "Throw this troublesome old nanny into the rape room. She is occupying the medicinal materials of the imperial hospital all day long, and she can't keep her well." , I see, she is just pretending!"
Shen Dingzhu turned around and saw that the two eunuchs actually dragged Nanny Song by her arms and pulled her out. Nanny Song looked sick and sallow.
"Stop!" Shen Dingzhu yelled angrily, rushed over, and slapped the young eunuch on the face. The other eunuch let out a cry of pain and was about to fight back when he saw clearly that it was Shen Dingzhu who seemed to be dumbfounded and didn't dare to move. Moved.
Shen Dingzhu protected Nanny Song, holding her half-cold in her arms. It was clear that Shen Dingzhu was also very delicate, but her expression was cold and resolute.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with sharp light, scanning the people around her, and finally landed on Du Shufei.
"Hey, who do you think I am? It turns out to be the imperial concubine. I paid my respects to the imperial concubine. I didn't see clearly just now. You came running with your hair disheveled. I thought you were a lunatic from the cold palace." Du Shufei covered her lips with her hands. , sneered.
Aunt Song held Shen Dingzhu's hand tightly, her voice was weak and hoarse: "Empress, you... you go quickly, your body..."
Shen Dingzhu hugged her shoulders tightly: "Mother Song, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
As she spoke, Shen Dingzhu raised her eyes and saw the scar as big as a bowl on Nanny Song's head, which was as red as a tear. She hurriedly shouted: "Where is the imperial doctor? Get him in for treatment quickly!"
Concubine Du Shu's eyes widened: "Let's see who dares to move! You must think carefully about it. Concubine Shen was imprisoned in Yaoguang Palace by the emperor. She ran out this time without the emperor's permission. When the emperor knows about it, he will do it again. Punish her!"
The little eunuchs around him suddenly froze in place, not daring to take a step closer.
Shen Dingzhu's cold eyes turned to Concubine Du Shu: "Du Fangyi, if you show your respect today, I will show mercy to you in the future. Don't push me into a desperate situation."
As if she had heard some big joke, Concubine Du Shu chuckled twice, her eyes full of sharp provocation: "Just you? The emperor even released Fu Yunqiu and made a female official. I heard that she would be sent to Changliu , Imperial Concubine, your good days have come to an end."
As she said that, her expression turned ferocious and she shook her sleeves fiercely: "Drag this old nanny to the rape room for me!"
The eunuchs followed the order and pulled Nanny Song's arm. Shen Dingzhu hugged her and angrily scolded the eunuchs, but Du Shufei's eyes became even fiercer.
"What are you doing standing still? Drag this crazy Concubine Shen away!"
How dare the young eunuchs touch the emperor's favorite? But now, everyone has seen that Shen Dingzhu is in a mess, and the emperor has not asked her for a long time.
Everyone swarmed up, grabbed Shen Dingzhu's arm, and pulled her back hard.
I don't know who exerted too much strength, and with a "Zila" sound, Shen Dingzhu's left sleeve was pulled off, revealing her fair and pink arms, as smooth as gelatin.
A group of eunuchs were stunned.
Du Shufei laughed: "A bunch of rootless things, you are really feasting your eyes today. If you don't hurry up, drag Concubine Shen away first!"
At this moment, Xiucui and Chunxi ran in from outside the door. Chunxi screamed and came forward, fighting with the eunuch who was dragging Shen Dingzhu.
"You dare to touch our queen, you bastard, I will kill you!" Chunxi rode the eunuch and started working with both fists.
More young eunuchs gathered around, and Xiucui protected Shen Dingzhu with her thin body: "Go away! Our empress is a noble concubine, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
suddenly!
At the entrance of Tai Hospital, Dr. Cen hurriedly entered: "You are so presumptuous! You are so presumptuous! Stop it!"
Seeing that Shen Dingzhu was about to be pressed to the ground, Imperial Physician Cen was so frightened that he personally pulled away the ignorant eunuchs.
Concubine Du Shu stared at him dissatisfied: "Mr. Cen, I helped Concubine Cui De to manage the Sixth Palace. Today, after checking the accounts, I found that someone in the Imperial Hospital was enriching his own pockets by treating grandma, so I wanted to move this grandma out. How could you stop?"
Doctor Cen glanced at her, as if looking at a dying person.
He bowed and cupped his hands behind Concubine Du Shu: "Meet the Emperor."
Everyone present was startled. Du Shufei stiffened and turned her head. Sure enough, she saw Xiao Langyan wearing a black dragon robe. The golden embroidery thread made the dragon look vaguely soaring and fierce.
The cold eyebrows under his jade crown and the sharp thin eyes were filled with strong murderous intent and coldness.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, shivering.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ann!"
Concubine Du Shu also knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen suddenly rushed out just now... No, she suddenly beat up my concubine..." She was a little incoherent.
Shen Dingzhu seemed not to have seen Xiao Langyan. She stumbled to Nanny Song, held up her dying head, and Nanny Song said weakly: "Mother, this slave is going to die."
Shen Dingzhu shed tears: "Mother Song, you treat me as considerately as a mother, you can't abandon me..."
Xiao Langyan's eyes fell on Shen Dingzhu.
Her dress was stained with mud, and her left arm, whose sleeves had been torn off, was delicate and white, but someone's fingerprints were left on it. Her body was very delicate, and there would be traces of it if she used a little force.
Xiao Langyan's eyes filled with rage, and he turned to look at the group of eunuchs.
"Xu Shou," he ordered, his voice ruthless and suppressing his rage, "drag them down and execute them in Lingchi!"
The little eunuchs were so frightened that they screamed for mercy. Du Shufei was already pale and kneeling on the ground, shaking all over.
At this time, Nanny Song used all her strength to hold herself up and said: "Your Majesty...please don't be angry with me anymore. Your Majesty...she is pregnant..."
Xiao Langyan's pupils tightened, and he turned to look at Shen Dingzhu: "What?"
