Tang Miaoxin followed Wang Dequan, chatting with Wang Dequan all the way.
Wang Dequan was a good person, he would say what he could say, and just say something else if he couldn't. The two of them had a very good conversation.
With Emperor Cheng Ming's will and Wang Dequan leading the way, the two of them traveled freely in the palace.
The palace is so big that it is impossible to visit it in more than an hour.
Tang Miaoxin didn't think Emperor Cheng Ming really asked Wang Dequan to take her around the palace.
Along the way, Tang Miaoxin met several concubines and two underage princes.
Tang Miaoxin calculated in her mind that Emperor Cheng Ming now had more than a dozen adult princes and more than a dozen underage princes.
She immediately understood why Emperor Cheng Ming didn't care at all about the death of a few princes, because he had too many sons.
She even doubted whether Emperor Cheng Ming could remember all the sons he had!
After she dismissed the twenty-one princes, she smiled and said to Wang Dequan: "This is the first time I know that the prince has so many younger brothers. My father is really awesome!"
Wang Dequan smiled, and Tang Miaoxin continued: "It has been half a year since I got married to the prince, and there has been no movement in my stomach."
"Do you know that your father is so good at giving birth to a prince? Do you have any secrets?"
Wang Dequan coughed slightly, he did not dare to discuss anything about Emperor Ming behind his back.
He smiled and said: "King Qin and Princess Qin are still young, so there is no need to worry about the issue of heirs."
"If Princess Qin is generous enough, she might as well take in two more concubines and several concubines for King Qin."
Tang Miaoxin said directly: "I am small-minded! King Qin can only belong to me!"
Wang Dequan: "..."
Women in the palace like to flaunt themselves as virtuous and generous. This is the first time he has heard someone say that they are small-minded so directly.
Tang Miaoxin asked him again: "My lord, is it your wish or my father's wish to take a concubine for the prince?"
Before Wang Dequan could answer, she thought to herself again: "It's unlikely that this is what the father meant, right?"
"My father has so many sons, and the youngest son is only three years old this year. He shouldn't be in a hurry to have a grandson, right?"
Wang Dequan: "..."
How should he answer this?
He could only say: "I just heard that Princess Qin was eager to help King Qin, so I just gave you a suggestion. Princess Qin, don't take it to heart."
Tang Miaoxin stroked her chest and said, "So that's what happened. I thought it was my father's intention. It almost scared me to death!"
Wang Dequan laughed sarcastically and did not answer her words.
She kept talking to Wang Dequan again and again, talking nonsense all over the world.
Things about Zhuangzi were also mentioned in the middle, and Wang Dequan couldn't help but sigh: "The old slave also grew up in Zhuangzi."
"The family was poor and had many brothers and sisters, so the old slave's father sold the old slave into the palace when he was only seven years old."
The two of them continued walking, and they reached Leng Gong.
Wang Dequan smiled and said: "Princess Qin hasn't seen Leng Gong yet, why not go in and have a look?"
As soon as Tang Miaoxin heard this, she knew that this was Emperor Cheng Ming's true intention today, but she didn't know what was waiting for her in the cold palace.
She nodded and said, "Okay! I have seen a lot of descriptions of Leng Gong in story books before, and I am very curious. Today I just want to see the world."
Wang Dequan was originally worried that she would push back, but he didn't expect that she would be so talkative at this time, so he smiled and led her inside.
Once within the confines of the Cold Palace, it immediately seemed dilapidated and deserted, and even the palace seemed to suddenly become cold.
Emperor Chengming had selected several shows, and the number of concubines in the harem was not small, and there were also many concubines who made mistakes and were thrown into the cold palace.
Leng Palace is not too big, but there are more than ten palaces.
When Tang Miaoxin walked outside, most of the palaces were quiet, so quiet that she could barely hear any sound.
When she walked to the middle one, a tragic cry suddenly came from inside: "Tyrant, I'm going to kill you!"
"You used my family to conquer the world, but you destroyed my entire family! You will not die a good death!"
Wang Dequan's expression changed slightly when he heard this voice, and he urged Tang Miaoxin to leave quickly.
Tang Miaoxin stood there without moving and asked him: "Eunuch Wang, who is locked up here?"
Wang Dequan sighed and said, "It's the deposed queen."
Tang Miaoxin was a little surprised: "Isn't it rumored that she died a long time ago?"
Wang Dequan shook his head: "The emperor is the most affectionate person in the world. He has been married to the deposed queen for many years, how can he have the heart to kill her?"
"Back then, the deposed queen's mother-in-law's family intended to rebel. The emperor gave them several opportunities, but they took advantage of them. The emperor killed them for the sake of the common people in the world."
"It's a pity that the deposed queen was too ambitious and could not fully appreciate the emperor's deep feelings for her."
Tang Miaoxin was filled with contempt when she heard this:
If Emperor Cheng Ming really valued friendship, he would not have killed and deposed the whole family!
It's really enough to kill someone's whole family and still get people to appreciate it!
As for Emperor Cheng Ming's deep affection for the deposed queen, she just wanted to spit it out.
Emperor Chengming had three thousand beauties in his harem, so he might have forgotten all about his deposed queen!
As they talked, they arrived at the last palace.
This palace is a little different from the previous ones. The door of this palace is open.
Although it looks dilapidated at first glance, it has been cleaned very well, making it less of a dilapidated feeling.
Tang Miaoxin glanced inside with some curiosity and saw a woman in white sitting inside, playing on a swing.
The woman in white felt very strange when she was swinging. A normal person should be happy and cheerful when swinging like this, but she didn't make any sound.
The woman in white seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, and she suddenly turned her head and looked at Tang Miaoxin.
The moment she turned her head, Tang Miaoxin was shocked:
The appearance of the woman in white is at least 70% similar to hers, but she looks older than her, with half white sideburns and a bit of weather on her face.
She was sitting on the swing, skinny and thin, her loose robe was blown by the wind, and it seemed that she would be blown away by the wind at any time.
The woman in white was also shocked when she saw Tang Miaoxin, and she tentatively called out: "Miaoxin?"
Tang Miaoxin's heart was shaken. Could it be that the woman in white was Su Ling'er?
Could it be that Su Linger is not dead yet? Has she been living in the palace?
The woman in white had already jumped off the swing and ran towards Tang Miaoxin's direction.
But before she could walk more than ten steps, the palace door closed with a bang, blocking their sight.
Only then did Tang Miaoxin react. She ran over and stretched out her hand to knock on the door: "Open the door!"
The voice of the woman in white came from inside: "Let me go!"
"Miaoxin! Miaoxin! Are you Miaoxin!"
"Ah! Let me go, I'm going to see Miaoxin!"
The sound has recently become almost heartbreaking, accompanied by several tragic screams.
