<b>Ten cold palaces</b>
Nine King Li Chang woke up from the dream, it was already deeper and quieter, feeling that the bed was soft, the indoor lighting was dim, the furnishings were strange, unlike the Nine King's Mansion, and then looked at the fence and the bed, as if it was the same as the concubines of the Inner Palace, suddenly remembered that yesterday Cao Xiyan invited cao Xiyan to drink in the courtyard of the West Palace, pushed the cup to change the cup, and helped the wine into the Luo Wei tent by Gao Xiangshi and the maids, the tent was clearly pink and confused, and the maid should lie in the tent, and this tent was like a purple cloud... He was shocked and shouted, "Not good!" That is, get dressed and get up to stay, despite the cold attack, the night is dark, the pace is like flying, and the hurried departure...
Princess Mei woke up, deeply feeling that her body was sore and weak, the surrounding area was dim and cold, the lights in front of the tent were like beans, the furnishings were strange, not like the Purple Kaoru Inner Palace, and she wondered: "Where am I?" The room was silent and no one responded, and an ominous omen struck the heart: Could this be the cold palace!
"Cold Palace!" Princess Mei was suddenly shocked, remembering that yesterday afternoon with Prince Xuanren drinking tea and warm books, dizzy after tea, sleeping in the tent, Prince Xuanren snuggled up and slept on the bed, Yanzhen served in front of the bed, and at this time...
"This is the Cold Palace?" Princess Mei was puzzled and melancholy, "What about the prince?" What about Chen Peng? What about Yeon-jeong? Why am I sleeping here alone? Is this the Cold Palace? - Cold Palace? Why am I in the Cold Palace? Why..."
It was dark all around, silent, and cold like the underworld, which was frightening.
The next morning, the east was white, the four fields were gray, and there seemed to be layers of clouds surging and dark and oppressive.
The envoys brought the Taiyi An Yi Chong into the Zhengyang Hall to pray: "Prince Xuanren's body is secretly poisoned, and he will not be cured!" Chen Peng waited outside the palace..."
"Prince..." Emperor Wu heard this fiercely, as if he had been struck by a thunderclap, his heart was like colic, he suddenly felt that his nose and mouth were bloody and dark, and he fell into the bottomless abyss, although he rode across the battlefield, experienced hundreds of battles, killed countless enemies, and never fought with fear, but at this time he was physically and mentally trembling, dizzy, weak on all fours, and collapsed to the ground...
"Emperor Wu..." The envoys hurriedly took a step forward and helped Emperor Wu to place the tent in the palace.
Taiyi An Yichong bent forward and examined the pulse of Emperor Wu's hand:
"Emperor Wu's grief rushed into his heart, his pulse was unstable, and he urgently needed to be conditioned, so you must strictly guard it, observe Emperor Wu's face, and you must not be careless." I went back to the tai hospital to prepare the medicine and rushed to it. Taiyi An Yichong arranged for the envoys to finish, quickly leave the Zhengyang Apse, and return to the Tai Hospital.
"Princess Mei was beaten into the Cold Palace because of her bad luck and defeat with the Nine Kings, the prince was poisoned by darkness, and the teenager died prematurely, is the heavens going to destroy my Great Wei?"
Falling into a drowsiness, Emperor Wu wandered into the abyss of ignorance, surrounded by darkness, as if there were ghosts, he witnessed Prince Xuanren's face was dark purple, his eyes were unfocused, he held the tea cup in his hand to drink and stopped, and his hands raised the tea in front of him, and he cried bitterly:
"Father Emperor, the tea of the sons was poisoned by the concubines, and the sons were innocently killed!" ...... Father Emperor, Aunt Mei was framed, you beat her into the cold palace, she is pregnant with the prince, for your flesh and bones, how can you bear the pain of her body in the cold palace? Father Emperor, Aunt Mei is really wronged, Father Emperor—"
Emperor Wu wanted to reach out and touch the prince, but the prince instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and scattered, and he ran to the place where the prince had scattered, and exclaimed in sorrow:
"Is it the Emperor's fault—my Xuanren—that the Father is wrong?" The Emperor..."
"Emperor Wu, are you awake?" The envoys called out in surprise, busily brought the soup medicine fried by An Tai Doctor, and served Emperor Wu to drink it, "How does Emperor Wu feel?" ”
After a moment, Emperor Wu's sanity gradually became clear, he turned over and sat up, put on a tight robe, looked inside the palace, and whispered: "Internal envoys, quickly send Dong Qing to visit the Cold Palace." The minister will go to the Cold Palace with him!"
"Yes, Emperor Wu!" The internal envoys did not dare to be sloppy, and escorted Emperor Wu back and forth to leave the Zhengyang Harem and go straight to the inner courtyard of the Leng Palace.
Princess Mei sat in the cold palace tent, after thinking about it, she didn't know what crime she had committed and was beaten into the cold palace, and after a few months and days, she was about to be in the basin, looking at the cold palace, cold and silent, her face was like frost, and her heart was disheartened: "People often say 'accompany the king like a companion tiger', the nameless disaster fell from the sky, Emperor Wu was ruthless, and beat me into the cold palace, it was really 'the royal family has no true feelings, and the harem is like a chaotic world'. I think that Mei Shi Yuyan learned wenli with her father since childhood, practiced medicine, treated people with generosity, met Emperor Wu Linzhou, rescued Emperor Wu from recovery, entered the palace as a concubine, and concubines were humble and indisputable, did not disturb the affairs of the dynasty, and also assisted Emperor Wu not to chaos the dynasty... Who knows that the unprovoked disaster, entering the cold palace, when the sunrise head is still unknown..."
A line of clear tears slid across the jade face, and Princess Mei did not know it. She sat down in the tent, deeply cold in her heart, and said to herself: "All the time I have been out of the cold palace, I will return to the former residence of Linzhou to guard my father, and I will never accompany the king in this life and this life!"
Outside the door of the Cold Palace, footsteps began, the warden opened the palace door, and Emperor Wu led Dong Lian and the internal envoys into the palace. When Emperor Wu saw Concubine Mei curled up and sitting in a tent, his heart was shocked, and he immediately felt pity, approached and supported Concubine Mei, and whispered: "Concubine Mei..."
Concubine Mei hurriedly stood up, bowed her head and knelt in front of Emperor Wu, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know that Emperor Wu is driving the deep courtyard of the Cold Palace, and Concubine Yan hesitates to take over, please forgive Emperor Wu!" Yu Yan meets Dong Xiang!"
Seeing That Concubine Mei was in such a state, Dong Lian was unconsciously frightened and speechless. Emperor Wu's heart was like colic, and he lifted up Concubine Mei and whispered, "Concubine Mei, I know that you are pregnant with Liujia, and I know that you are inconvenient, and I also know that you resent Concubine Mei, but... Why do you sleep with the Nine Kings? Poisoned the prince's early death? ”
"I sleep with the Nine Kings?" I poisoned the prince's body? Princess Mei was dazed and amazed, "The prince is dead? prince...... The day before yesterday, I drank tea with Prince Xuanren Wenshu, and I didn't have any other thoughts, so why talk about poisoning the prince? ”
Dong Lian stood quietly aside, feeling that something was wrong, he secretly pondered, remembering the "matter of medicinal tea" in the Western Palace, bent forward to help Concubine Mei sit in the tent, turned around and whispered to Emperor Wu:
"Can Emperor Wu forget about the 'medicinal tea' in the Western Palace?"
Emperor Wu was shocked: "Xigong Cao Xiyan? ”
"Emperor Wu," Dong Lian speculated in a low voice, "this morning when I entered the Eastern Palace, I saw that the crown prince's face was bruised and purple, and the seal hall was black, and he was indeed poisoned and died." However, when he checked the Zixun Palace and asked Chen Peng and the maid, they didn't know what happened the day before, Chen Peng only said that he and the prince and Mei Niangniang were serving tea, and then they were unconscious and didn't know the personnel! Have you seen Concubine Mei sleeping with the Ninth Princess, but can there be a maid serving before and after? Why did Chen Peng and the prince not wake up in the case of the slanted table? The prince returned to the palace and folded early, obviously poisoned and died, in addition to the poison in the tea can there be anything else? Emperor Wu, all kinds of signs, don't you think something is wrong? Emperor Wu, please think twice! ”
Dong Lian speculated, Emperor Wu bowed his head and pondered, for a long time, suddenly awakened, he instructed the guards: "Er, etc., strictly guard the Cold Palace, there must be no omissions, no will, no one is allowed to trespass into the inner chambers of the Cold Palace!"
Stepping out of the Cold Palace, Emperor Wu stared at the Cold Palace for a long time, a cold wind struck, he was shocked, so he and Dong Lian took the envoys to leave the Cold Palace and went straight to the Inner Courtyard of the West Palace, encountering Chen Peng blocking the way and kneeling down to pray:
"Emperor Wu please stay, Lady Tao is waiting outside the Zhengyang Palace for a long time, and there are important things to say."
"Mrs. Tao?" Emperor Wu was suspicious in his heart, and turned to Dong Lian and asked, "Dong Qing, do you know what Lady Tao told Yu Yuan?" ”
"Er..." Dong Lian was puzzled and shook his head, "The minister doesn't know." Emperor Wu was also asked to move the Zhengyang Hall, and the ministers and others were willing to go with them. ”
Emperor Wu summoned Chen Peng and led the crowd around the Zhengyang Hall, where Lady Tao waited outside the Hall of Yu Yu of the Xie Clan, and when she saw Emperor Wu and the others arrive, she hurriedly bowed down and performed the ritual:
"Yu Yao has seen Emperor Wu and seen Dong Xiang!"
When Emperor Wu saw this, he stretched out his hands forward and said, "Lady Tao is flat!" Wanting to lean over to help each other, Dong Lian had already leaned forward to support Xie Shiyu and said, "Lady Tao, please get up!" Please get up!"
Emperor Wu and Dong Lian took Xie Shi Yu Yao into the Zhengyang Harem, and Xie Shi Yu Yu bowed to Emperor Wu and whispered softly, "I have heard about the affairs in the palace. The country must not be without a monarch for a day, and please ask Emperor Wu to mourn and rest his pain and take care of his body!"
Emperor Wu waved his arm lightly, motioned for Yu Yao to sit down, and asked, "Lady Tao entered the palace today, what did you tell Yu Yuan?" ”
Yu Yao gave a deep salute, glanced left and right, and said, "Yu Yao really has something important to tell Emperor Wu." Show that Yu Yao does not have to be taboo"
Emperor Wu understood and said, "There is no outsider here, Lady Tao please talk about it." ”
"Emperor Wu, Dong Xiang." Word by word, Yu Yu told Emperor Wu and Dong Lian about Ying'er, and finally said, "Zi Qian thinks that the shame of Concubine Mei and the poisoning of the crown prince are all related to the Western Palace. ”
"Ying'er?" Emperor Wu was stunned and remembered the words of the Nine Kings of the Purple Palace, "... Ying'er... The Nine Kings... Concubine Cao... Isn't it..."
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Wu finally woke up like a dream, turned to look at Dong Lian, and Dong Lian nodded his head and hinted. Emperor Wu and Dong Lian looked at each other and nodded, tacitly acknowledging it.
Emperor Wu pondered again, looked at Lady Tao Yu Yao, and asked, "Lady Tao, if you punish the Western Palace, would you like to bring Ying Er to give a certificate?" ”
Yu Rong bowed down and said, "Emperor Wu, Dong Xiang, and Yu Yao are female streamers, may Emperor Wu punish the Western Palace, righteously eliminate the adulterous concubines, go to the tang and fight the fire, and never give up!" Please Emperor Wu ming jian and decide!"
Emperor Wu and Dong Lian looked at each other with ups and downs, and felt a thousand emotions--ulterior motives should sometimes be severely punished in this dynasty, it should be a layer of dark clouds in the past, and the sunny day is slightly exposed, dispelling the cold and gloom of the imperial family for many days.
In the winter of the fifth year of the Great Wei Dynasty, the north wind was fierce, and the cold was bone-chilling and terrifying.
Pregnant in October, one year of delivery. In the cold inner room of the palace, the baby suddenly cried, and Concubine Mei gave birth to a son, named Zhen Wenjing. Holding the baby in her arms, Princess Mei was full of sorrow and joy, and her eyes were full of tears:
"KeXi'er will have to see her mother this morning." Emperor Wu..."
Princess Mei looked up, looked at the four walls, and suddenly realized that she had entered the cold palace, and could not help but be full of helplessness, and whispered to herself in tears:
"Once innocent and in the cold palace, when will the grievances be resolved?" I think that Mei Shi Yan entered the palace gate, as a noble concubine, but her son was born in the cold palace. If my son has a time to go out of the cold palace, he will solve the injustice with his mother! The royal family's affection is as thin as paper, and when I am wronged out of the cold palace, I am willing to return to Linzhou to follow my father to the countryside, and never enter the palace to accompany the king!"
Wen Jing swaddled his eyes slightly, sleeping soundly. The night outside the window is boundless, and there is silence outside.
