"What's wrong?" Emperor Zhaowu asked.

Empress Jiahe lowered her eyes and said earnestly, "Xiao Jiu's leg injury has not healed. If she is not in a place where the concubine can see at a glance, the concubine... I feel uneasy in my heart."

is really disturbed.

Her gaze swept across her complacent legs and stopped for a moment.

This is a crippled wreck.

But not what a waste should look like.

I can't see the almost self-destructive anger on him when he was just injured.

What happened during this year?

Empress Jiahe's words made Rong Ting's face smile even deeper

"Where did the minister stay in Yecheng this year?"

He took it slow and said, "The mother asked Erchen to go to Yecheng to recuperate, but I can't watch it all the time."

The queen was speechless for a while.

Emperor Zhaowu frowned slightly.

Seeing this, the queen sweated faintly on her forehead.

Rong Ting was more difficult than she thought.

He didn't say that he was having a bad time, but instead tangled in the loopholes in her words.

The empress said anxiously: "Xiao Jiu is in Yecheng, and her mother is worried day and night."

Emperor Zhaowu originally wanted to take care of Empress Jiahe's emotions, but Rong Ting's words made him withdraw his thoughts.

He said without hesitation: "The West Palace is much closer than Yecheng. Sitting in a sedan chair, it will be there in less than half an hour. If you want to see him, you can still see him from time to time."

The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for her to deal with it. Empress Jiahe recognizes this point, and will not say more, and say more and more mistakes.

She lowered her head and said, "Shouhuai Palace has been vacant for a long time, the concubine will find someone to clean up the palace and let Xiao Jiu live in it."

The expressions of some of the maids present changed slightly.

The palace in Shouhuai Palace is in a remote location and is very evil. haunted. At night, they didn't dare to go there.

Emperor Zhaowu said, "Just the Shouhuai Palace."

Emperor Zhaowu had never heard rumors of ghosts.

None of the maids at the bottom dared to remind him.

Empress Jiahe recognized this, and proposed to let Rong Ting go to Shouhuai Palace.

She felt some revenge in her heart and said, "Then the concubine will arrange for a few hard-working people."

Most of the internal affairs of the harem were left to the queen to take care of. Emperor Zhaowu nodded without thinking, "You can arrange this matter."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled.

Even if Rong Ting wanted to escape, she still had a way to make him surrounded by her people.

As long as he is within the Shili Imperial City, she will have a way to make him escape.

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu,

Glancing at Rong Ting.

I remembered what Rong Ting had said to him alone at the beginning.

He cooperated with Rong Ting and said: "Xiao Jiu's leg injury, the imperial doctor looked at it, and he was unconscious in both legs. I'm afraid there is no possibility of recovery. You should assign a few more people to prevent Xiao Jiu from having an accident."

"My concubine understands." Queen Jiahe responded.

Hearing that Rong Ting's leg injury was hard to heal, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of joy in his heart, but his eyes were dark.

Is his leg really hopeless?

...

From Jinxiu Palace to Shouhuai Palace, you have to turn several turns and go through half the imperial city.

For a person in a wheelchair, the journey is long and arduous.

But the little eunuch tried several times to help Rong Ting push the wheelchair, but was so frightened by Rong Ting's gloomy eyes that he dared not move.

He had to follow Rong Ting's position a few steps away, followed from a distance, and muttered in a low voice, "Weird temper."

The queen asked him to approach Rong Ting.

But looking at his strange temper, who can't get close to him?

The rest of the palace maids looked at Rong Ting with a look of contempt.

Unlucky to come to serve a disabled person with no future.

The little eunuch looked at the reluctant expressions on the faces of the palace maids, lowered his voice, yin and yang, and taught them a lesson: "You think I'm willing to come? Do what the Queen Mother ordered, and look after this cripple. The Queen Mother is happy. Yes, it can be promoted as well.”

Shouhuai Palace has arrived.

On a sunny day, the branches in the yard are dense, no one is building, and there is a thick shade.

Deep courtyard, dark and quiet.

Rong Ting entered the courtyard, and the wheelchair stopped in front of the main house.

He pushed open the dusty door, and there was a belly of dust on his fingertips.

He twisted the dust on his hands, and out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed the little eunuch who had been observing for a while.

I laughed heartily. The queen's eyeliner is really dutiful.

Brushing the dust off his fingertips, Rong Ting moved his eyes, looked at the little eunuch, and said slowly, "Come here and carry me into the room."

The little eunuch stayed in the Splendid Palace for a long time and became a human being, knowing that the ninth prince whose biological mother died young was not as good as a servant.

He didn't take Rong Ting as his master, and when he heard Rong Ting's order, he came over at a leisurely pace.

Rong Ting suppressed the disgust of someone approaching and let him carry his wheelchair into the house.

The little eunuch looked at Rong Ting, who looked like a waste who needed help across every threshold. He narrowed his eyes and kept it in his mind. In the evening, he would report to the Empress.

He thought of the thing that Queen Jiahe cared about most, and his eyes were sharp.

With a flash of light, he said with a pretense of concern, "Your Highness Ninth, will you rub your legs, little one?"

Rong Ting nodded.

The little eunuch was overjoyed.

The queen asked him to take a look at it. Rong Ting's leg injury was really not going to get better. Instead, he was hiding something from others.

If he can do this well, he has the hope of becoming a celebrity in front of the queen.

He changed his strength and tapped on Rong Ting's legs while observing the expression on Rong Ting's face.

Regardless of his strength, there was no fluctuation on the young man's face.

As if really unaware.

There was a sudden coldness in the little eunuch's eyes, and a cold light appeared in his hands.

The little eunuch has a needle hidden in his hand.

Beating and beating, he suddenly stretched out his hand and stabbed the needle into the flesh on Rong Ting's thigh in a concealed manner.

Soon, it was halfway through.

If you feel it, it will be painful.

The little eunuch looked at Rong Ting's expressionless face.

I thought to myself, if it's abolished, it's really abolished, and the queen can rest assured.

Just as he lowered his eyes, he wanted to pull the needle out. when coming out

A pair of slender, jade-like hands stretched out.

Pressing his hand, the needle completely sunk in.

The little eunuch was frightened by his sudden madness and held his breath.

There was no sign of pain on his face, and even a faint smile appeared.

His lips were red and his teeth white, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his eyebrows were lightly mocking, "If your legs are useless, you can change your eyes."

Needle pull. When he came out, he was covered in blood.

Holding it high, the young man suddenly leaned over and, following the same method, stabbed the needle into the little eunuch's kneeling thigh.

Eyes for eyes, teeth for teeth.

The pain pierced into the bone marrow made the little eunuch cry out in an instant.

He desperately tried to escape.

But the person holding the needle held on tight and twisted his body, which only made the pain in his thigh even more heart-wrenching.

The little eunuch screamed even worse.

On Rong Ting's face, there was an indifferent smile from beginning to end.

Obviously the perpetrator, but like an outsider.

He finally pulled out his hand and pulled out the bloody needle.

He threw the needle to the ground, and said in a low voice, "If you want to harm the prince, pull it out and stick it to death."

The little eunuch group shivered on the ground.

A word lingered in his mind - madman.

...

The matter of Shouhuai Palace reached the Queen's ears.

Empress Jiahe was furious, "How dare he kill Ben Gong's people?"

The palace maids who were dispatched to be arranged by Rong Ting's side all came back, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and reported, "Xiao Xiuzi wants to use needles to test how good his legs are, but who can Knowing that although he didn't feel pain, but his eyes were good, Xiao Xiuzi was caught."

The queen's eyes darkened, "You really don't feel the pain?"

"Really." The palace women said one after another, "We have all seen it. Xiao Xiuzi's needles are all stuck in, and he is like a normal person, even with a smile on his face."

On the other hand, when the little eunuch screamed like a slaughtered pig, Gong E shook her body and said with certainty, "It's true that the ninth prince's leg can't be cured."

The queen clenched her fists hard.

She should have strangled this vicious child in her swaddling crib.

But before Little Seventeen was born, she really had the idea of ​​raising this child, who is much smarter than her peers, as a future monarch.

Later, when Little Seventeen was born, Rong Ting's intelligence became the biggest threat to her biological son.

"You guys, go to Shouhuai Palace and watch him carefully. If there is any change, come back immediately and report to this palace."

But those Gong E who saw Rong Ting go mad with their own eyes, kowtowed to the queen one by one and said, "Miss, spare us, we will die. Xiao Xiuzi was caned before our eyes. When he died, the ninth prince suddenly raised his head. , looking at our eyes, as if to say, the next one is us!"

I would rather go out of the palace and find another way out.

I don't want to put my life in it.

...

The queen did not find the daring Gong E for a while, so she rearranged her to go in. Rong Ting had already arrived at the Jingshi room and asked for two followers for herself.

Two little eunuchs, the tall one was named Huaiqing, and the short one was named Si Ying.

The two young ladies listened in and said that they wanted to serve the ninth prince who had just returned from Yecheng. His legs were crippled and he was incapable of doing things.

Unexpectedly, this master is an outlier with a cold personality, and only when someone touches his sleeve, he is faintly angry.

All they can do is tidy up the yard.

And help the master to find out who he wants to find out

"The Jiang family?"

Huai Qing is a little older and more knowledgeable than Si Ying, "Since what Your Highness is asking about is from an aristocratic family, Jiang's surname should be Ning An's Mansion."

"The old man hurts the most is his youngest son, Jiang Xingzhou, Jiang Siye."

"However, the uncle's favoritism has attracted a lot of red eyes to his younger son. It is said that this fourth master Jiang took his wife and children out of Beijing six years ago in order to avoid the intrigue in the deep house compound, and happened to be with His Royal Highness. match the description."

Rong Ting pressed his fingers against the cool Yujue around his waist, and his eyes were a little cool, "The fourth master Jiang you mentioned, is your daughter's name—Jiang Rao?"

Huai Qing only felt that the last two words in the master's words were very heavy, and they said it through gritted teeth.

He said: "I can't remember this point. I just remember that Fourth Master Jiang had a daughter who was very petite. It was because his precious daughter was almost killed that year that he decided to leave the capital."

Rong Ting knocked on Yu Jue, "Go and find out about this matter."

Huai Qing went out and was called back by him again, "If it's really Ning An's house, find out the whereabouts of her family."

...

Concubine Yun Gui rubbed her nephew's daughter's soft cheeks with joy, while the white cat on the side was left out and purred with her tail supported.

Jiang Rao's face was flattened and rounded, and her mouth pouted unhappily, "Auntie is not seriously ill at all."

Concubine Yun Gui smiled and said, "It's too slow to come back every year, my aunt is getting better."

"Liar, I don't believe my aunt's nonsense anymore."

Jiang Rao finally found Kong and was devastated. The crumpled little face escaped from the hands of Concubine Yun.

She rubbed her cheeks, "I really thought my aunt was ill, she was in a hurry and came back overnight."

"I didn't have time to say goodbye to my little friend in person."

Concubine Yun's eyes lit up, "Do you have little friends every year?"

Jiang Rao picked up the neglected white cat, brushed its fur, and nodded.

She knew that Concubine Yun Gui had always disliked the Queen and everyone who was related to the Queen, so she didn't pick out who it was, and said, "But he is ill, and in a few days, he will return with his parents. Yecheng, go see him."

Yun Guifei narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Is your little friend male or female?"

Jiang Rao concentrated on licking the cat, "It's a little boy."

A deep smile appeared on Concubine Yun's face.

That smile is full of writing: My family has a young girl growing up.

Her gaze swept across Jiang Rao, her niece, from her face, to her chest, to her waist.

Yun Guifei's eyes are higher than the top, but she only admits that when she grows up, I am afraid that she will be more liked by men than her.

Looking at the soft waist that can be controlled by this hand, don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future.

In choosing a son-in-law for Jiang Rao, Concubine Yun's thoughts coincided with Jiang Qin's.

There is no need for family marriage, and there is no need to enter the palace as a concubine in order to consolidate the power of the family.

However, Concubine Yun Gui didn't want to recruit Jiang Rao. The man who recruited may not be a good and honest man. Anyway, if he had money and power, he could find a few more handsome young men to support him. It would be a comfortable life.

"That little friend, handsome or not."

Jiang Rao heard her little

The teasing in my aunt's tone made her blushed slightly and said, "Don't tell my aunt."

"Don't." Concubine Yun Gui held the tie around her waist to keep her from going, and whispered to her, "Auntie is your age, but she has long been optimistic about Xiao Langjun for herself."

Replaced by several.

"It's a pity." She sighed, "I finally entered the palace."

No family left.

Concubine Yun Gui sighed and said to Jiang Rao, "Come here, my aunt will teach you a few tricks to hook men."

"Don't listen, don't listen." Jiang Rao covered the little white cat's ears and ran away.

Concubine Yun looked at her back and said leisurely, "It's fine if you don't teach me."

The appearance is good, just do something, and it looks pleasing to the eye, it is enough to attract men.

Jiang Qin was drinking tea and couldn't help blaming his cousin, "How old are you, you can tell her this. You have been married for so many years, so it's not serious."

"If I'm serious, I won't be called a favorite concubine."

Concubine Yun Gui leaned on the beauty's couch, tilted her head and said to the maid, "Go follow the girl, there is a palace banquet in the palace today, and I'm afraid that some people who don't have long eyes will collide with my years."

She said leisurely, "I really don't have long eyes. Just give her a slap and say it's what I mean by Concubine Yun Gui."

Jiang Qinshi knew how much Emperor Dianzhaowu loved Qin Yun, but she didn't expect that he would dote on her to such a lawless level, and she shook her head helplessly.

Concubine Yun Gui turned her gaze back at this time and said, "You mean the ninth prince?"

"You're a smart one." Jiang Qinshi sighed.

"You came back from Yecheng just now, and so did the ninth prince. The little friend of the ninth prince fell ill every year. The ninth prince's legs were seriously injured and he has not recovered. You wrote a letter to ask, who is the little boy in the portrait? Arrived? However, that little boy belongs to the ninth prince, do you know that every year?"

Jiang Qinshi's expression changed slightly, "What about the ninth prince? He came back from Yecheng?"

...

"The ninth prince is really back?" At the palace banquet, a girl in yellow asked, grabbing the maid next to her.

"The slave girl just asked. The ninth prince just came back two days ago. Now he is living in Shouhuai Palace."

The yellow-robed girl's eyes were filled with ecstasy that couldn't be concealed, "I finally waited."

She stood up and said to the maid, "Don't follow me."

When she got up, another lady from the noble family asked, "Shen Xiuying, where are you going?"

Shen Xiuying looked at them with a cold contempt in their eyes. She was too lazy to talk to them, and said perfunctorily, "It's a little boring, I'm going out for a walk alone."

When Shen Xiuying left, the women from the aristocratic family looked at her with the same contemptuous eyes.

"Eighty percent of you are hooking a man again."

"Sir Shen's girl, but she doesn't know how the word "Wu Dao" is written."

"She came from a low background, so she naturally wanted to find something good for herself. Her mother was originally just a concubine, but she didn't know what means she used to replace the wife and was straightened up. But the concubine is a concubine in the end, Shen Xiuying's identity as a direct descendant, Not clean."

"Instead of thinking that she fell into the water once, she will be safe..."

After leaving the courtyard where the female family members were at the banquet, Shen Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xiuying fell into the water half a year ago, and when she woke up, she had the memories of her previous life.

She was finally reborn, and the person she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

She was reborn at this time, just right.

All the people didn't take the young boy with crippled legs in their eyes. No one knew that he would be the emperor of the Ninety-five Supreme in the future.

Of course she heard the scolding behind her.

From a very young age, watching her mother deal with men, she understood a truth early on.

If she wants to live a good life and live a life where she is no longer spurned by others, she must find a person of high power to be her husband.

But she spent her whole life in the camp in her previous life. Before marriage, she gave it to the fourth prince. She thought she could marry him as his wife, but in the end she became his concubine. Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, she and the fourth prince became prisoners.

That man actually used her body as a bargaining chip to bribe the jailer in the prison!

Later, he was reduced to Fireworks Willow Lane and died of hatred. She hates, hates those men who are rhetoric.

This time, she won't choose the wrong person again.

Shen Qinying's footsteps were hurried, her heartbeat was extremely fast.

Before the new emperor ascended the throne, she never paid attention to him.

At that time, how could she possibly tolerate a disabled person in her eyes?

But if this cripple was the emperor in the future, she wouldn't mind his cripple.

She remembered the style of the new emperor sitting on the sedan chair when he was patrolling the city.

There was only a little maid beside him, fanning him beside him.

The position that belongs to the queen is empty.

A few years after ascending the throne, not only did he not have an emperor, but he did not even have a concubine.

If she can be in that position beside him... enjoy the support and pursuit of thousands of people.

Those who laughed at her and ridiculed her could only kneel at her feet.

Shen Qinying's heart beat faster.

Soon, Shouhuai Palace arrived.

she held her breath

After waiting for a long time, finally heard the sound of footsteps and wheels.

Since there is the sound of the wheels, there are ten **, it will be the ninth prince, the new emperor in the future.

Shen Xiuying changed her body to the habit of her previous life. As soon as her legs were weak, she wanted to kneel down for the future monarch. She listened carefully and heard the voice of a little eunuch, "The person the Ninth Highness is looking for, the servant has already checked..."

Your Royal Highness. Shen Xiuying was overjoyed, she heard the sound coming to the corner, thumped, and fell to the ground.

She rubbed her ankles with "Ehhhh", with tears in her eyes, raised her eyes in the direction of the corner, she was very pitiful.

"Are you from this palace?"

She looked at Rong Ting, "I'm lost..."

Rong Ting glanced over leisurely.

good means

Played with flaws by her.

Very disrespectful. Rong Ting's cold brows became more and more gloomy.

But Shen Qinying stood in the middle of the road.

She was blinded by tears and could not see Rong Ting's expression. She thought in her heart that since Rong Ting's legs were crippled, he would definitely be able to sympathize with and understand a wounded weak person. With a sad face, she said, "I just didn't Be careful with your feet, it hurts so much..."

Rong Ting frowned slightly.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Shen Xiuying cautiously revealed her identity, "I am the daughter of Shen Shangshu's family, can you ask your entourage to help me up?"

Huai Qing was about to go over when he heard Rong Ting say, "Hold on."

"Shen Shangshu's daughter, right?" Rong Ting's face was gloomy.

In the past few days, he has sorted out the personnel relationships of all the big families in the capital, those with the surname Jiang and those not with the surname Jiang, all of them, just to be safe.

Shen Xiuying said that she was the direct daughter of Shen Shangshu, so she was the second girl of the Shen family.

He said tiredly, "Miss Shen, next time, I'll fall down on another road with stones."

"or……"

He paused, touched his fingers to his waist, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and threw it in front of her.

"It's good to just cut off your own hamstrings, and act like a show."

He laughed, his face was charming and beautiful, but his icy tone showed indifference and impatience, "Lend your knife and pick it up."

Shen Qinying stared at the cold, glowing blade on the ground.

His legs trembled and his eyes widened.

This is not the weak and pitiful she imagined.

Not the understanding and sympathy she imagined.

This is a lunatic.

Rong Ting squinted at her.

With a cool voice, he said mockingly, "Can't you do it yourself?"

His slender fingers tapped impatiently, and he said intimately, "Huaiqing, help her."

Huai Qing watched his master's actions, and a big service was written in his heart.

Step forward and pick up the knife.

She was so frightened that Shen Qinying immediately got up and ran.

...

While running away, he bumped into someone.

Jiang Rao was chasing the white cat who suddenly did not know what was going on, running wildly, ran here, was bumped by Shen Xiuying, and steadied her pace.

She glanced at her and didn't care if she bumped into her, the lady of the official family, who hurried away, was at a loss.

This official lady, there seem to be tears on her face?The expression changed a little out of control.

Is this the palace?

How can there be such a lady in the official family who doesn't care about her manners?
