Before Hongzhan could speak, Nala said in a cold voice: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the people in Chengqian Palace or the concubines. I believe they all know about this. Of course, you can also choose not to believe it. That's it.
Live ignorantly, abandon the mother who gave birth to you and raise you, abandon this imperial mother, and live as if your enemies are your benefactors. I will not say anything to you, I will only feel pity for you."
"I..." Hongzhan didn't know what to say. He just felt his head was swollen and he didn't know which sentence was true and which was false.
"I asked Xiaohezi to bring you here today. I didn't want to tell you this. I just wanted to see if you were doing well and what you looked like. I didn't expect that it would end up in this situation. After all, you and I
I’ve been separated for four or five years, so it’s not surprising that you don’t believe what I say.” Nala took a deep breath and said, “Lin
Before leaving, I just want to say one thing to you. Never forget that your mother-in-law is not named Niu Hulu, let alone Dai Jia. Her surname is Liu. She is still imprisoned in Xinzhekuli.
The Japanese laborers are waiting for you to rescue them. Okay, that’s it, you can go back. Xiaohezi, send Brother Six back, be careful, don’t be discovered.”
"Hey!" Xiao Hezi agreed and said to Hongzhan: "Brother Six, please."
Hongzhan did not move, but after hesitating for a long time, he called out the long-lost title, "Empress Huang, I..."
Nala interrupted him expressionlessly, "Don't call me Huang Niang. I can't afford this title, Sixth Brother." She deliberately emphasized the tone of the last three words.
Seeing this, Xiaohezi persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Six, you'd better go back first."
Seeing that Nala turned his head and refused to pay attention to him, Hongzhan had no choice but to agree and left the cold palace under the cover of him and Shang Rong. He didn't know that behind him was Nala's sneering face, let alone what he said today.
All these words were part of Nala's design, and the purpose was to drive a wedge between him and Niu Hulu. Only in this way could she continue to use Hongzhan.
On the way to Jingren Palace, Hongzhan kept thinking about what had just happened, so the journey that originally only took half an hour ended up taking an hour. By the time he got back to Jingren Palace, it was already dark.
Dai Jiashi didn't wait until Hong Zhan came back. She was worried. She asked the two palace men, and they all said that Hong Zhan had left with a palace man they didn't know, but they didn't know where they were going.
Known.
They made Dai Jia very angry and made them kneel in the yard. When they were about to let others go out to search, Hongzhan appeared at the gate of the palace. Dai Jia breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but said: "
Where are you going? Why don't you let anyone follow you? Which palace is that little eunuch who was looking for you before? Where did he take you?"
Hongzhan glanced at the two palace servants kneeling on the ground and said, "My Lady, I told them not to follow. Don't blame them."
Dai Jiashi nodded and said: "Okay, you don't blame me if you don't think so, but you have to tell me where you went and didn't come back until dark."
After watching the two people get up, Hongzhan said in a low voice: "I don't know that palace man. He said that he was entrusted by the master to bring me a few words, but I couldn't understand what he said after that. I asked him
He doesn’t say who the master is.”
"Is there such a thing?" Dai Jiashi asked dubiously. After Hongzhan nodded, he asked again: "Then where did you go? The two of them were not allowed to follow."
"You're not allowed to follow me anywhere. It's just that no matter where I go every day, they follow me everywhere. It's really annoying, so I sent them away. I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around casually, but..." Hong Zhan rolled his eyes.
He turned around a few times and said, "I overheard someone mention something. It's very new. I wonder if your Majesty has heard of it?"
Dai Jiashi led him into the back of the main hall, where the lamp was already lit, and said, "Oh, what is it? Let's talk about it."
Hongzhan pretended to be ignorant and said: "Your Majesty, I heard those people secretly said that there is Jingxinxiang and Lenggong. I know Lenggong. What is Jingxinxiang?"
Dai Jia's expression immediately became a little uncomfortable, and she said: "I have never heard of Jingxinxiang. It must be that those palace members are talking nonsense and don't take it seriously."
Hong Zhan's youth does not mean that he is ignorant. Dai Jia's expression clearly indicated that something was wrong. He immediately said: "I heard what they said was very serious. It didn't sound like nonsense. They also said that this was related to Concubine Xi."
Dai Jiashi stopped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If I say it, it has nothing to do with it. Don't say it again, let alone mention it in front of others. Do you hear me?"
Hongzhan was silent for a while, shook off Dai Jiashi's hand, and said angrily: "Empress, you have always told me to be an honest and upright person and not to lie to others, but why are you lying now? You know this
Is this right?" Seeing that Dai Jia didn't speak, he added: "If the empress refuses to tell me, then I will ask Concubine Xi myself."
Upon hearing this, Dai Jiashi quickly grabbed him and said: "My sixth elder brother, why are you so crazy? No matter what happens in the cold palace, it has nothing to do with you. Why bother to ask these questions? Is it possible..." She asked suspiciously
He looked at Hongshi and said, "You didn't hear these words from others at all, but you went to Leng Palace yourself?"
Hongzhan's expression froze, and he clasped his hands tightly and said, "Do you think I can go in and out of the cold palace freely? Besides, why should I go to the cold palace for nothing? That Lashi is no longer my queen."
Dai Jiashi was startled, then nodded and said, "You are right."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hongzhan said again: "My queen, please tell me what is going on, otherwise I will always feel depressed and uncomfortable."
Seeing him like this, Dai Jia finally couldn't bear it and sighed: "Well, looking at your reluctance, if I don't tell you, I won't just let it go, maybe you will actually run away."
Go ask the noble concubine. But you have to promise me that no matter how much I talk to you later, it will stop here and you are not allowed to mention it again. Do you understand?"
Hongzhan nodded quickly. After signaling the palace people except Wanxia to exit the main hall, Dai Jia said: "Actually, I don't know much about this matter. I just overheard the concubine mention it once. Nala is here
After Honghui died, she did many outrageous things. For her, death or the cold palace would not be enough to atone for what she had committed.
Sin. So the imperial concubine used the Jingxin Incense on her. I don’t know exactly what the Jingxin Incense is. In short, it can make Nala atone for her previous sins." In fact, Dai Jia knew it in her heart, but
She didn't want to talk too much to Hongzhan. After all, Hongzhan was still young, so it was better for him not to hear about these things.
