The queen was very satisfied with Zhou Zhong's words, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about the others?"
This question is about Princess Xinping, who was once the most favored in the palace. Not long ago, the queen also asked this eunuch to be responsible for placing people into the princess's mansion.
Zhou Zhong immediately replied: "Princess Xinping's Mansion has also placed some of our people. Although there are not many, there are both in the front and back yards. There is a maid and a small chamberlain."
The queen was already attentive. When she saw Zhou Zhong paused, she said, "You said it, I'm listening!"
"Yes, in fact, it is relatively easy to place people in the Princess Mansion without attracting attention." Zhou Zhong said: "Originally, the people in the Princess Mansion basically went out of the palace and had constant relationships. Taking advantage of the personnel changes, through the
I placed people there when I had the opportunity."
"If there is any news, we will report it regularly as before." Zhou Zhong said, taking a step back with his hands down.
This is the eye liner installed. In fact, not only Princess Xinping's mansion, but earlier, several princes' mansions also had one or two eye liner. They stayed hidden when not in use. Once used, they could also come in handy.
It's just that the queen did not pay attention to Princess Xinping in the past, but now even Princess Xinping's mansion has to put in spies.
After all, she didn't have to think about the fate of her children in the past, but now that God has sent her a grandson, she must cheer up for her grandson's wealth and life, and she can no longer do what she did more than twenty years ago.
"Where is Zhao Bingzhong?" the queen asked seemingly casually.
"Go back to your Majesty, even though our people have provoked him, he hasn't made any move yet!"
"Yeah, he's really calm and calm."
The queen showed a cold look, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's not talk about him first. You have done a good job. I will reward you with fifty taels of silver. I will go to the accountant to collect it later."
"Thank you, empress!" Zhou Zhong retreated.
After the people left, the queen walked around the palace. Her face could not be seen clearly under the shadow of the lamp. Zhaoxia saw that the queen was not in a high mood, so she told her some jokes.
She peeled a few more lychees herself, and the Queen ate a few for her sake, so she stopped eating.
It was good to eat such fruit at this time, but it didn't matter if she didn't eat it. In fact, she no longer valued these external things.
There are only bouts of anxiety that I can't hold back and occur from time to time.
Just then, a eunuch came in and whispered something in the queen's ear.
"really?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The queen suddenly stood up, with surprise on her face, Zhao Bingzhong finally sent someone.
Before, she contacted Zhao Bingzhong through a little chamberlain. Now that she learned that this little chamberlain came to see her, she knew that Zhao Bingzhong must have the result.
If he didn't want to get close, he would definitely not ask the servant to pass on the news. With Zhao Bingzhong's temperament, he would just downplay the matter completely and pretend that nothing happened.
Now that the little chamberlain has arrived, it means that Zhao Bingzhong has an attitude.
If Zhao Bingzhong really comes to seek refuge, it will be a great help to the Queen!
She couldn't help but be excited!
Even though she and the prince had been kind to Zhao Bingzhong, Zhao Bingzhong seemed smooth, but he was actually very loyal to the emperor. Over the years, even if he made money, he only took what he could get. All corruption and bribery matters were ignored.
The eunuchs who worked before the imperial court might all have a little bit of it, but Zhao Bingzhong didn't have a bit of it.
To use what Zhao Bingzhong once said in private, a gentleman loves money and acquires it properly, and so do eunuchs!
Even if some fools think that Zhao Bingzhong is no longer useful now that he is so rejected.
But in fact, as long as this person doesn't die, he will be of great use!
This is the chief eunuch of the Imperial City Division for many years. As long as he does not die, the connections and influence behind him cannot be easily dispersed.
Valley crucian carp
Even now, Zhao Bingzhong is still one of the most powerful chief eunuchs. Once she joins him and combines with her own power, it will no longer be a matter of one plus one equals two, but her strength will instantly become several times stronger.
What a difference!
"Let him come in quietly and meet me here." Following the queen's instructions, a young chamberlain walked in soon.
Before he came in, the queen had slowly sat back and took two deep breaths. The surprise on her face had been suppressed, but her smile was slightly deeper. Outsiders could not tell how surprised the queen was just now.
As soon as the young chamberlain came up, she quietly raised her head and took a look. What she saw was the calm queen. She thought to herself: "The queen is indeed extraordinary. No matter what happens, she is always like this."
He saluted respectfully, and the Queen took one look at him and said straight to the point: "Excuse me, Zhao Bingzhong asked you to come?"
"Go back to the Queen, Eunuch Zhao asked your servant to give you something."
As he said that, he carefully took out a piece of paper from a layer of his clothes and handed it over.
Zhaoxia took it and handed it to the queen.
The queen unfolded the note and lowered her eyes to look at it. When she saw it, her expression changed.
"Okay, I already know." After a moment of silence, the queen said, but her voice was no longer as relaxed as before, and was a little deeper.
The chamberlain could not stay here for long, so the queen asked Zhaoxia to reward her with ten taels of silver, and the chamberlain took the reward and left in a hurry.
When the little chamberlain retreated, the queen suppressed her panic, walked around calmly for a few times, and then walked towards the front of the palace.
Walking out of the palace gate, standing on the steps, I caught a glimpse of the fruits being weighed and separated below. I didn't want to get angry, so I raised my eyes and looked into the distance. The view in front was quite wide, and I could see some low plants that were already green.
.
In the palace, taller trees must not be planted next to the palace wall or in front of the palace. This is to prevent assassins from entering the palace through the trees or hiding in the trees to assassinate the emperor.
The Queen had always been fond of trees before entering the palace, tall and leafy trees.
After arriving at the palace, except for the occasional trip out of the palace, she could only be trapped in this small world for the rest of the time. She could hardly see a few trees that she recognized.
"emperor"
In fact, she already knew that the prince's false accusation was just an excuse. It was just that the emperor wanted to get rid of her Fu'er, and he just kept deceiving himself.
And now
She looked forward, revealing a trace of reminiscence.
Zhaoxia has always been by the Queen's side. When she received the fruit, she originally wanted to make the Queen happy, but at this moment, she looked at the Queen's expression. Although she didn't know what happened, there was a sadness in her heart.
She also looked in the direction where the Queen was looking, and there was nothing there.
When the wind blows, it only makes people feel desolate.
The queen looked a little dazed, and saw the father and son who had stood there before. The emperor was smiling, and the prince who was smiling and calling his mother was so young, so energetic, and so heroic.
When he looked at her and called her mother, even his eyes seemed to be filled with light and longing for the future, saying that he would help his father govern the country and make the people's lives better and better.
"Fuer"
Soon, the phantom of this family disappeared, replaced by the words on the note, each word turned into a knife, inserted into her heart.
"Granary?"
The queen pursed her lips and said in her heart: "I didn't expect that, old man, you still can't change your nature after twenty years."
"You want to do something to my grandson again!"
Just thinking about it, suddenly, the vague and tenacious expectation she had harbored for many years collapsed and turned into sadness and despair. She stretched out her hands to support herself, but her eyes could no longer hold back a drop of tear.
