Someone has said that there are two dirtiest places in the world, which are even more disgusting than flower buildings.

The first one is the court, where the sentient beings are extremely ugly.

The second is in the palace.

The women in the palace are neither male nor female, and they are all distorted personalities, and there are countless dark history.

Dakang is no exception in this regard.

Although most of the time is quite acceptable, there are actually all kinds of battles that should be there.

For example, the previous queen, although she was still the mother of a country after the death of the prince, her status suddenly plummeted, and she was not as good as the second prince's mother Concubine Chen.

Although Concubine Chen is the mother of the second crown prince, she is not the only one in the palace.

In addition to Concubine Chen, who owns King of Shou, there is also a group of little vixen, who are always sharing her favor.

The little vixen, such as Xu Fei, Li Shuyi, and Wang Zhaoyuan, are young and beautiful, and are very popular with the emperor, but the problem is that they have not even given birth to princesses, let alone princes.

Of course, in just a few months, there have been earth-shaking changes.

With the sudden death of the two princes, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense.

First of all, Concubine Chen, the mother of King Ren, and Concubine Chen, the mother of King Shou, were all imprisoned by Emperor Jinghe to the cold palace at the first time.

Although Jing Hedi treats others gently and kindly on weekdays, he shows the coldness and decisiveness that an emperor should have at such a crisis.

He knew deeply that not only could not keep the news in the palace, but they could definitely make the dog's brains.

Even if Concubine Chen was not at all wrong, for the sake of stability of the entire court, he had to lock Concubine Chen in the cold palace.

Otherwise, if Concubine Chen talks everywhere and is passed on by someone, the whole world will look down on the royal family and despise the royal family.

Such a blow is absolutely unbearable.

Of course, the Empress Dowager also firmly supported the emperor's decision, and she also issued an imperial decree.

"Anyone who talks about this in the palace will be killed by a stick."

The Empress Dowager is a Buddhist and has no airs in the palace on weekdays. Many old eunuchs and palace maids have received her kindness and can take a sum of money to return home and spend the rest of her life in peace.

But even such a queen mother became the same as the emperor, which proved the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, it is not only these two concubines, but also the current empress, who is actually unable to leave the bedroom.

Because this matter involves her, her hope for this life is the former crown prince Minghao, and the Crown Prince Mingyu is suspected of killing the former crown prince Minghao... Do you think she can still hold on if she knows this?

Originally, Emperor Jinghe thought that she was the mother of a country, and she suffered such great grievances and was unwilling to keep her from being held.

But I couldn't stand the Queen's thought of going to the cold palace all day long and wanted to know the truth. In the absence of help, the Emperor could only order the Queen not to let her walk around.

Fortunately, the queen also had an obsession. Since the emperor agreed to conduct a thorough investigation, she would wait.

Wait for the truth of his son to be solved!

Tell me.

In such an atmosphere, can the palace be as vibrant as before?

Even Li Shuyi, who likes to make trouble the most, is now in a proper manner.

Even Qianniu Guards, eunuchs and palace maids seemed cautious.

There are only two places in the palace, and they live a relatively normal life.

The first one is naturally the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The second is the residence of Princess Gong and Princess Changle in Sihao Palace.

The emperor also specifically advised Zhao Shou that he must not let Xiao Nianyu feel cold and depressed.

The place where you should keep is still there, laugh as you should, and play with you as you should, and you must not be slacking off at all.

...

There is a solemn atmosphere at the entrance of the cold palace.

Now everyone in the palace subconsciously wants to avoid this place.

Apart from those who have to come over to do things, Qianniuwei will patrol everywhere seriously.

In fact, the people inside couldn't escape.

Not to mention that the wall is three meters high, there are hundreds of people standing guard and patrolling around.

There are dozens of eunuchs and palace maids inside, and hundreds of people serving people... How can the people locked inside run away?

The key is that you can run out of the cold palace and can you still escape from the palace?

Surely not!

So there is no value for escape.

Maybe after being caught, it will be more painfully imprisonment, so it would be better not to run away.

But this does not mean that the cold palace is very quiet. On the contrary, there are definitely many people who shout or even curse and cry all day long.

Today's guards rarely saw a group of people walking over in a vast and blatant manner.

Just look at the posture of the sedan chair, they will know who it is.

When I saw the chubby General Manager Bai following me, I had no doubts.

The sedan chair arrived at the main entrance, and when the empress dowager inside stepped out, the Qianniu Guards beside them bowed and bowed.

"The Empress Dowager is common in the humble position! Empress Jin An!"

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "Get up! Open the door for Ai's family, I'm going to go in."

"yes!"

Without asking, the guards took out the key and opened the door.

The cold palace of Dakang is actually not a palace, but a small courtyard that is independent.

When you enter, you will find a flat ground of about 200 square meters. There are about a dozen small houses on both sides of the gate. There are also eunuchs and palace maids who specialize in serving the people inside.

They make the laundry, three meals a day, changing bedding, etc. on weekdays.

All kinds of essential supplies can be obtained from outside immediately if needed.

Basically, it's just one thing. Although the cold palace is cold, it definitely does not abuse people.

This was again ordered by Taizu.

You said that when Taizu fought for the country, he was more decisive and decisive, but in the end he was a little soft when encountering these things, it was really strange.

The small house faced the past, with four roads extending directly, and two horizontal lines, the cold palace was divided into fifteen small squares.

Each square is a house with more than ten rooms and smaller rooms.

Depending on the identity of the person living in, the specifications are of course different.

The Queen Mother remembers that since Taizu founded Dakang, there have never been a full house for these fifteen houses.

This time it was so good that many people were caught in one breath.

There were two imperial concubines, a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, and a group of people from the Ren Palace and Yonghe Palace.

Originally, the servants were not qualified to live here, but Jing and Emperor were unwilling to lock them in prison, so they were like this for the time being.

When the empress dowager came in, the eunuch who was in charge of the cold palace management quickly knelt down.

"I, Ling Xuan, bow to the Empress Dowager, Empress Jin An!"

Qianniu Guard is an imperial guard. Usually, when you see the emperor or the empress dowager, you don’t have to kneel down. However, the eunuch is a servant of the palace, so it is normal for him to kneel down and salute.

Bai Qian introduced from the side: "Ling Xuan used to be on duty in the three halls, but now he was called here by the emperor to guard it."

"oh."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Get up! Thank you for your hard work! Don't worry, you will definitely go out in two years. The Ai family will also give you a reward and compensate you."

"Hey!"

Ling Xuan was so moved that tears came out. He stood up and cried, "I thank the Queen Mother for your gift! I have no ability, so I am satisfied with taking good care of the emperor."

The Queen Mother thought the man was quite good at speaking, so she said, "Tell me, how are they in there now?"

Ling Xuan replied: "When the Empress Dowager replied, they must have been very frightened when they came in at the beginning, crying a lot and making trouble. But after these few months, after our persuasion, most of the people have quieted down. Only... only a few noble people are in some trouble."

"You mean Concubine Chen and Concubine Shen?" asked the Empress Dowager.

"There are also the concubines of His Highness Ren." Ling Xuan added.

"What are they making trouble?"

"This is actually nothing..." Ling Xuan replied under Bai Qian's wink, "Most of them are crying. Sometimes Concubine Chen would make a louder noise, and then he would cry with Concubine Shen."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Didn't you separate them?"

"How can it be!" Ling Xuan pointed, "One of them is in the southwest corner and the other is in the northeast corner, far away! But the patio is open here and it is not closed. It is clean here, so you can naturally hear it."

Speaking of this, Ling Xuan smiled bitterly, "Empress Dowager, they are staying here all day long and have nothing else to do. They are familiar with each other's voices."
