The emperor has not stepped into the Zichen Palace for half a year.

During the past six months, the queen became more and more haggard, and became less and less talkative.

No one knew the reason, the imperial concubine was exclusively spoiled overnight, and there was no queen in the eyes of the emperor!

Even the power in charge of the harem has been handed over to the imperial concubine by the emperor. You can meet. How much the emperor dislikes the queen now, and ordered the queen not to leave the Zichen Palace for half a step. Now the Zichen Palace is dead. , the queen has been ill for many days, and an imperial doctor came to see it.

So the queen has been lying on the bed for several days. She went to see the imperial doctor every day, but there was no one there. The palace servant surreptitiously went to see Murong Chen, but when Murong Chen heard that Ran Ke was seriously ill, he did not even frown, and ordered the palace servant to be punished for fifty.

So far, no one dared to ask for his life in front of Murong Chen.

Ran Ke is groggy every day now, and occasionally wakes up, either in the middle of the night or at noon the next day, and can't eat anything for a day. Since Ran Ke fell out of favor, the meals delivered by the imperial kitchen have become rougher and simpler.

Xiao Dan, the palace maid who was married with Ran Ke, saw Ran Ke, who was drowsy and black at the moment, and couldn't help crying: "Niangniang, are you feeling better now?" Why is God so cruel to Niangniang?

Niangniang treats everyone kindly. There are many people who have been favored by Niangniang, but now Niangniang is suffering. These people climb up to bully Niangniang one by one. Is their conscience enough?

hateful! So hateful!

Ran Ke looked up at Xiaodan and shook his head gently, "I'm fine, I'm much better today. Don't cry, I'm fine."

"Niangniang..." Xiaodan cried even more. She wanted to hold back her tears so that Ran Ke would not be worried, but she couldn't help crying. Niangniang had been sick for so many days, and the imperial doctor could not be invited. She is holding on, if she continues, she may not be able to hold on for long.

Ran Ke responded weakly, "I'm really fine, I'm a little tired, and I want to continue to sleep for a while, you go out."

"Okay, I'll call Niangniang again during dinner, Niangniang can sleep in peace." Xiao Dan wiped away his tears, immediately covered Ran Ke with the quilt, and then went out with confidence.

There were several palace servants in the yard, their eyes were a little red and swollen looking at her, and Xiaodan's eyes were red, "We have to think of a way, the empress is so kind to us, if not for the empress, we have been in the palace for several years. I am afraid that I have already been killed countless times, and now that the empress is in trouble, we can't just take care of our own lives, if we drag it on, I am afraid that empress... won't last long."

"Sister Dan, we all listen to you. In the entire harem, everyone envied us at the beginning. We served the empress, and we have never been beaten or scolded by the empress. Who in other palaces has not been beaten or scolded? We There is a problem in the family, and the mother immediately sent someone to help us after hearing about it, if such kindness is not repaid, we will be in vain!"

"Yeah, Sister Xiaodan, Niangniang's condition is getting worse and worse. If you don't get treatment, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I just hate that I couldn't let the emperor come over a few days ago. On the contrary, I was beaten by myself. I'm useless. Sister Xiaodan, I'm sorry."

Xiao Dan gritted his teeth, "There is only one way now."

"what way?"

Xiao Dan took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Yongle Palace, "I can only go to see the imperial concubine."

"Empress concubine? It's impossible for concubine concubine to be kind to save concubine, right?"

Xiao Dan gritted his teeth again, "This is our last resort. If we can't ask the imperial concubine to promise to save the concubine, then we can only watch the concubine leave us. So, this is our last chance. Take good care of you madam, I will go to see the noble concubine. If...if I can't come back, you must take good care of the maiden, and make sure that the maiden leaves in the end without being too painful. If it is possible, go and ask the emperor to come and see Madam."

"Miss Dan, don't worry. We will never fail your entrustment."

Xiaodan looked back, his face was resolute, he didn't look back, walked directly out of Zichen Palace, and headed towards Yongle Palace.

...

Yongle Palace.

On the reclining chair made of fox fur, half-lying was a beautiful beauty.

The palace maid on the side gently shook her fan and carefully served the woman.

"Niangniang, Xiaodan of Zichen Palace has been kneeling for an hour." The palace maid reported with a smile.

Du Xiawei's expression did not change in the slightest, and he was still slowly eating the grapes he had just delivered.

Seeing this, the palace maid immediately said: "Everyone in the Zichen Palace is now like a bereaved dog. I heard that the Empress is terminally ill and will not be able to live for a few days. This little Dan really has no eyesight, and is almost dead. Let the imperial doctor run for a while, and now come to our Yongle Palace to trouble the empress. If she likes to kneel, she can kneel."

After half an hour.

Xiaodan didn't dare to move, and knelt up straight. It had been more than an hour, and the concubine was still unmoved. She didn't believe that the heart of the concubine was iron.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and in a trance, it seems that the emperor is coming.

Murong Chen came from a distance, and after seeing Xiao Dan kneeling on the ground, he frowned. He was about to have Xiao Dan kicked away, but Xiao Dan had already gotten up from the ground as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He staggered and ran towards Murong Chen.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to save your maiden. Ma'am can't stop. Thinking about the past, please save majesty." Xiaodan knelt down again with a plop, begging Murongchen bitterly.

Murong Chen lowered his head and looked at Xiao Dan coldly, "Someone, this person will blame fifty."

Xiaodan's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Murong Chen with a bloodless face. How he doted on the concubine was still vivid in his mind, just like what happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the emperor turned his face when he said that, why did he do this? Heartless? poor lady...

Watching Murong Chen enter Yongle Palace, watching Du Xiawei walk out to greet her, Xiao Dan closed her eyes in despair, she is really worthless for the goddess!

...

Zichen Palace.

Several palace servants were anxious like ants on a hot pot in the yard, walking back and forth, more than an hour had passed, it was getting dark, and Xiao Dan had not come back. After Xiaodan, they could only lie.

When several people were anxiously at a loss, suddenly two figures flashed in front of them and stopped directly in front of the empress's bedroom.

"Who are you? This is the Zichen Palace, the palace of the Empress!"

"Come on! There are assassins!"

Several people kept shouting, but no matter how they shouted, no one came in.
