It was late at night, everything was silent, the lights in the huge palace were sporadic, and most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

After cleaning the courtyard, a young eunuch put the broom aside, yawned and went to close the palace door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw a black shadow rushing in, almost knocking him down.

The little eunuch was startled, and then, angry, he jumped up and cursed, "What bastard, didn't you see anyone? What do you want to do when you break into the Zhongcui Palace in the middle of the night? I think you have a few heads that can be chopped off until your mother sleeps." "

The visitor stopped at the same spot, gasped, waved his hands, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, so I got a little impulsive. Is your mother asleep?"

In this way, with the lantern at the gate of the palace, the little eunuch finally recognized the person coming.

It seems to be the eunuch in charge of purchasing in the dining room. Eunuch Pei often asks him to help the mother exchange letters with the family.

Thinking of his identity, the little eunuch didn't dare to complain immediately. It's a joke. Everyone in the palace knows that the empress attaches great importance to the family. If he offends him here, and he sues the empress later, then he will really I couldn't eat and walked away.

Turning his mind, the little eunuch rolled his eyes and walked forward with a busy smile, "Hey, what wind brought you here, the empress is already asleep, what's wrong? Could it be that there is a letter delivered from outside?"

That's not right, don't people usually send letters during the day, how come it's late at night, and the curfew is about to be closed, so someone sent a letter in specially.

The visitor looked anxious, and couldn't care less about greeting him. Hearing that the empress had already fallen asleep, he was anxious and worried, "No, the person who sent the letter from outside told the empress to see the letter quickly, little eunuch, Can you please go in and talk to Miss Shuangshu?"

Shuangshu is the empress's personal maid, if she agrees to wake up the empress, the empress will not be angry after waking up.

"This..." The little eunuch hesitated.

He's just an ordinary eunuch who doesn't even have the chance to talk to Miss Shuangshu, but at this moment he hastily asked for a meeting. To be honest, his legs are weak!

Seeing his hesitation, the visitor simply gritted his teeth and said, "To tell you the truth, my father-in-law, I guess something must have happened outside. Since this letter has passed our hands, then we are all experiencers. If we miss it because of our cowardice The matter in the empress's house, the empress will pursue afterward..."

Chen Yizhen seldom gets angry, but once she gets angry, she will never let it go too far like other people. She will change people very quickly, and will not keep stupid and useless mediocre people by her side.

The little eunuch suddenly trembled all over, he still wanted to stay in Zhongcui Palace for a long time.

Although he was just a cleaning eunuch, when he left the Zhongcui Palace, no one would take a look at him.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go in and ask for instructions."

After that, he turned his head and ran towards the main hall.

Shuangshu happened to be on duty tonight, and he happened to meet Shuangshu who was about to go to the tea room to make tea in the past. When he stood up and reported the matter respectfully and in detail, Shuangshu immediately said: "Call people in quickly." .”

She turned around and walked quickly towards the inner room.

She understood that the Chen family would never disturb the empress in the middle of the night unless it was extremely urgent. Something must have happened at home.

Chen Yizhen was still a little dazed when she was woken up from her dream, and then Shuangshu came to her ear and said that there was a letter from home, and she woke up with a click.

After a quarter of an hour, Shuangshu waited for her to wash and dress up, and ordered the person with the letter to come in.

When the person carrying the letter came in, he bowed down respectfully and kowtowed, and then held the letter high with both hands.

Chen Yizhen almost couldn't wait to take the letter, opened it, and quickly slid through it, his face turned blue instantly, and then, boundless anger burst forth.

The next day, early in the morning, when people had just woken up and there were no stalls in the market, a decree followed and the eunuch quickly fled into Ningyuanhou's mansion.

On the road, I passed by courtiers who had just come to the court. One courtier didn't pay attention, his mind was sleepy, he staggered, and he swayed to the side. was stepped on.

He stood upright, his body stiff, and after a long while, he took a long breath and wiped his forehead, only then did he realize that a layer of cold sweat had formed on his back.

The minister was lucky at first, but then he got angry from the heart, "Who is this! It's early in the morning, you don't have eyes!"

"Hush!" A minister next to him grabbed him and whispered, "That's the collar of the eunuch of Zhongcui Palace, don't rush to give it away at this time."

Now Zhongcui Palace is booming, and the Empress Dowager did not lose the last time she confronted the Empress Dowager. They courtiers, outsiders, how can they be the Empress Empress' opponents.

The minister immediately shut up, feeling scared for a while. Fortunately, the eunuch passed the order and hurried on his way. He didn't stop, so he didn't hear his scolding. However, he looked suspiciously at the direction where the imperial horse was galloping, and muttered to himself, "Early in the morning, who is the Empress in a hurry to issue an edict to?"

Anyway, they are always high-ranking officials and nobles. Thinking about it this way, everyone immediately became energetic and rushed home, for fear that this decree would come to their own homes and they would not be able to respond in time.

Ning Yuanhou was also among these people. He looked at the vaguely invisible figure in front of him, and for some reason, a bad mood suddenly rose in his heart.

The queen delivered a decree: The queen will miss Mrs. Ningyuan Hou Shizi and his little niece, and ask his wife to bring the little niece into the palace immediately.

Marquis Ning Yuan hurriedly hurried, and when he got home, he happened to meet the eunuch who was about to return to the palace after the announcement of the decree. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stepped forward, bowing his hands together, "This father-in-law..."

The Xuanzhi eunuch raised his hand and stopped him, with a strange expression on his face, a half-smile, "Your Majesty is excused, the lady has accepted the edict issued by your empress, Master Hou, please go in quickly."

After all, he left.

Ning Yuanhou stood where he was, stunned for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, raised his feet and rushed home.

"Mom, what should I do? What should I do? She will never let me go, she will never let me go..."

Yuan Ruru grabbed Mrs. Ningyuanhou's hand vigorously, her face was messed up, and she was so flustered that she didn't even notice the menacing Ningyuanhou.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was also anxious, her thoughts turned sharply, and she kept thinking about how to deal with this matter.

At this moment, Ning Yuanhou interrupted their mother-daughter love with a thunderclap, "Tell me, what's going on?"

His face was gloomy, and his cold eyes kept looking between their mother and daughter. His eyes were as cold as the dark wind blowing up from the faint hell.

Yuan Ruru was so frightened that she screamed and fled away.

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou's complexion changed, she managed to maintain her superficial calm, and walked up with a smile, "Master Hou is back, you..."

"Don't talk to me about him, what's the matter with the empress's decree? Did this unfilial daughter cause trouble again?"

"Master Hou, what are you talking about? Sister Ru, Sister Ru was just careless, and it wasn't intentional." Mrs. Ning Yuan Hou forcefully explained.

Ning Yuanhou suddenly widened his eyes, a little in disbelief, "It really is this unfilial daughter, why don't you tell the story quickly."

Mrs. Ningyuanhou drooped her shoulders dejectedly.

It turned out that on the day of the draft, Chen Yizhen severely humiliated Yuan Ruru. After Yuan Ruru came back, she kept a grudge in her heart. In addition, she always hated and envied Chen Yining, so she vented all her anger on Chen Yining.

Fortunately, the old lady knew that the empress had risen, and the family had to treat Chen Yining kindly, so she restrained the subordinates not to be disrespectful to her. Even if Yuan Ruru found fault, she only occasionally withdrew food, clothing, etc., and did not dare to be too presumptuous with her.

This day, she went for a walk by the lake in the back garden, and happened to see Sister Lin playing there. Sister Lin was not in good health, and Chen Yining had been confined in her own yard, so the chances of her seeing her were not. Many, but no matter how many she knows, this is the direct daughter of her good elder sister-in-law.

Disgusted in her heart, she walked over and saw a pair of timid eyes that were exactly the same as Chen Yining's. She couldn't help becoming more irritable in her heart. When she was upset for a while, she pushed Sister Lin. Who would have thought that there was a stone next to her, and Sister Lin knocked her head on it and fainted. up.

Only then did she realize that she was afraid. No matter what, this was the eldest granddaughter of the family and the niece of the current empress.

She was so frightened that she left sister Lin who had fainted, and ran back to her yard in a hurry, only daring to let the maid beside her inquire about what happened there.

The servant girl reported back to her that sister Lin was carried back to the yard by the nanny, and a doctor was found in time, and her life was saved, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the servant girl stammered, although she saved her life, sister Lin There was a long cut on his forehead, and the doctor said it might leave a scar.

In this era, if a woman has an injury on her body, it is almost the same as a disability. What's more, the injury is on the face. From then on, it is almost hopeless to marry into a noble family.

She was afraid, so she found her mother who always loved her. The mother reprimanded her first, but this matter could not be covered up after reprimanding. She communicated with there, if the queen didn't know, what would a wife who lost her natal family's protection have to rely on.

She originally wanted to put Chen Yining under house arrest first, and then release her after she softened and promised not to tell the story. Who would have thought that Chen Yining would go crazy this time. Congested, as if she wanted to eat people, she was so shocked, she ordered people not to send food and drink, and taught this daughter-in-law a lesson.

Later, when she entered the palace to pay her respects during the New Year, she actually met the Chen family.

She was surprised, panicked, and terrified.

Who would have imagined that the emperor would love the empress so much, and would allow her to summon the Chen family, whom she had always hated, into the palace.

For her sake, the emperor even put his own feelings behind, what a mere young lady of Ningyuan Hou's mansion has done, the queen can deal with it as she wants.

After returning from the palace, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was completely panicked. After thinking for a whole night, she gritted her teeth and decided to stop at nothing and try every means to make Chen Yining die suddenly. The person who died suddenly would never have a chance to speak.

It's a pity that she just got the medicine, and before she could take the medicine down, the palace came to issue an order.

How did the queen know?

After listening to Mrs. Ningyuanhou's words, and seeing her plausible words, she was quite regretful that she hadn't taken the medicine down earlier. Ningyuanhou's blood flowed backwards, his head was dizzy, he staggered, and raised his hands and waved his palms.

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was slapped to the ground, her head buzzed for a long while, she regained her composure, covered her face, and looked up at him incredulously, with a sad and indignant expression, "Master——"

"Stupid women and poisonous children have harmed my Hou's mansion!" Ning Yuanhou staggered and held on to the handrail, and in grief, two streams of tears overflowed.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at her tremblingly, "You just thought that you could cover up this matter by telling Chen Yining to shut up, but you know, the world is so big, could it be the king's land, how could Chen Yining's sudden sudden death of the queen be suspicious?" , if the royal family wants to investigate something, how can you, a boudoir woman, cover it up."

Having said that, he breathed out again and again, "Fortunately, fortunately, you stupid woman hasn't committed any crimes, otherwise, I would have been killed by you throughout Manhou's Mansion."

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou already knew the seriousness of the matter at this time. She was afraid, but more, she was worried. She couldn't help covering her face with her sleeves, and broke down crying, "What do you want me to do? That's our own daughter. Ah, I can't just sit and watch her get bogged down."

Ning Yuanhou lowered his head and roared in a hoarse voice, "Then do you have the heart to sink the Hou's mansion into a quagmire?"

Mrs. Ningyuanhou flinched, and shook her head in a hurry, as if explaining to him but also as persuading herself, "No, Sister Ru didn't do it on purpose, no matter how unreasonable she is Chen Yizhen, she can't take human life lightly."

"Oh" Ning Yuanhou sneered, "Isn't it intentional? Why didn't you pat your conscience first when you said this, your good daughter is spoiled by you, not to mention vicious by nature, and stupid as a pig, in my opinion, It's better to hand her over first, maybe it can calm down the empress and the Chen family."

"I can't!"

Mrs. Ningyuanhou's voice was sharp. She struggled to stand up, her hands were like iron, she tightly grasped Ningyuanhou's arm, her eyes widened, "You can't do this, she is our own daughter, you want her to go Pushing on a dead end?"

Ning Yuanhou pushed her away irritably, "You keep saying that you are loving mother, but your good daughter has ever cared about us at all. Mother has repeatedly told her not to provoke Chen Yining, but she doesn't listen, and there will be a scene every two days , ended up like this today, I think it deserves it!"

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou could only whimper and cry.

Don't mention here, just mention the palace, the eunuch Xuanzhi picked up Chen Yining, sister Lin and several principals of the Chen family into the palace.

Chen Yizhen stayed in the Zhongcui Palace, almost wishing to see through her eyes. When she saw the figures of her cousin and sister Lin, she couldn't hold back for a while, and stepped forward to hug her sister Lin, feeling her cowardly little pushback, and the straight forehead. A long scar in the center burst into tears.

"How could this be?"

It was the first time for the old lady and the two wives to see Sister Lin's injury. The old lady was too old to bear it, and almost passed out. Fortunately, Chen Yizhen called the imperial doctor over in advance, and immediately gave the old lady a piece of ginseng. She didn't faint.

The eldest lady was already holding sister Lin and crying "sister Lin" and "heart".

The second lady's eyes were red, and she bit her lip, both distressed and annoyed.

Chen Yizhen stood up and looked at his cousin. The cousin's face was ashen and her eyes were blue. In just a few days, she was already skinny and sick.

She felt distressed, took a step forward, and held her cousin's hand, "Cousin."

Chen Yining's empty eyes finally fell on her, and immediately, he showed a very small and short smile, "Sister Zhen."

If she was normal, she would definitely stretch out warm palms, pat her, and call her "Mother" politely and intimately.

Chen Yizhen blinked, the damp heat in her eyes was almost uncontrollable, she sniffed, turned around and told the imperial doctor waiting beside, "Let Sister Lin take a look first."

The old lady was supported to sit down, and she hurriedly agreed after hearing the words: "Yes, yes, show it to Miss Lin."

The imperial doctor in the palace is excellent in medical skills, far better than the market doctor outside the palace. Perhaps, it can help remove the scar on Miss Lin's face.

Even Chen Yining, hearing the words, couldn't help but stare at the imperial doctor with anger and anticipation in his eyes.

Chen Yizhen called over all the imperial doctors who were on duty in the palace today. At this time, five or six imperial doctors gathered around and began to diagnose and treat the scar on Sister Lin's forehead.

Everyone stared at them without blinking, hoping for a good result later.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yuanzheng sighed, put down the gauze, tilted his head to discuss with the other imperial doctors, then turned around, first bowed to Chen Yizhen uprightly, and then said: "Madam, the wound on the young lady's forehead is deep, And the scabs have already fallen off, if you come here for treatment as soon as possible after the injury, there is still a little chance that the scars will not fall off, but at this time... time has passed, even if you use a good scar removal cream, there is only half a chance to get rid of the scars. "

Chen Yining shook her body, and immediately, endless hatred and pain shot out from her eyes. When her daughter was just injured, she wanted to take her daughter to the palace to ask her cousin to call the imperial doctor for treatment, but the old poisonous woman at home sent someone to kill her. Surrounded by the hospital, she ordered not even a fly to fly out. Her daughter was dragged down by that old poisonous woman forcibly!

Chen Yizhen closed her eyes and clenched her fists. After a long while, she calmed down the anger and grief in her heart, opened her eyes, and told Zhang Yuanzheng, "No matter what, try your best to heal, even if it is half possible, I will never give up."

Zhang Yuanzheng and others hurriedly lowered their bodies to salute, "Don't worry, Madam, I will naturally do my best and do my best."

Chen Yizhen suddenly turned around, grabbed his cousin's hand, and said word by word: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for Miss Lin."
