Five places in the west of the Ganqing Palace.

It is said that it is warm when it snows, but the snow melts and it is cold after it melts, but the strong wind blowing half an hour ago makes the snowflakes everywhere and are extremely cold.

The cold wind blew into the main hall of Ganqing Palace through the crack of the door, making a loud "huh" sound, making the empty hall even colder.

The Empress's Lingshu had moved to Renshou Palace a few days ago, and would be moved to Changping Imperial Mausoleum for burial after 49 days.

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids were in the northwest corner of the hall. Because they were too cold and had no stove for heating, these young men and palace maids were all cold and their ears were red, but they could only relieve the discomfort caused by the cold to their bodies by stomping their feet.

They didn't dare to do anything too much, because the emperor and the imperial concubine lived in the Xiwu warmhouse not far away.

Cao Huachun had been guarding outside the warm-up pavilion during the incident last night. His identity determined that he could have a soup pot in his hand.

The so-called soup pot is a hot pot for heating, which is either filled with hot water or burning charcoal. In the cold winter, people who have the conditions will prepare a few soup pots, otherwise they will not be able to stretch out their hands.

I can't remember how many times I changed the soup pot in my hand to the charcoal. Cao Huachun only knew a few hours ago, and there was no movement in the warm room.

This is a bit different from what Cao Huachun thought. In his opinion, the concubine at this moment should be crying with joy. Even if she doesn't do that, she should be extremely surprised.

Because everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the riot army that entered the imperial city was the imperial army admired by Wei Liangchen, the most beloved concubine.

In other words, the riot outside the palace gate was the concubine.

They came to Beijing not to carry out some reforms, but to come to Bao Guixian as the queen, or even to Bao Guixian's son, King Fu, ascend the throne as the emperor.

In this way, how can the Imperial Concubine not be happy?

However, the warm pavilion was so quiet that Cao Huachun even doubted whether the imperial concubine was as ill as the emperor and knew nothing about what happened outside.

Several times he wanted to go in and see what the imperial concubine was doing, but every time he was wandering outside the warm room for a long time and stopped.

Although Cao Huachun, as a slave, was close to the Eastern Palace, unlike the elder Wang An who appreciated him, Cao Huachun had his principle, that is, as long as the emperor was still there, Cao Huachun was the slave of the emperor, not the prince's slave.

Therefore, after being ordered to monitor the imperial concubine and the people around her, Cao Huachun did not deliberately make things difficult for the people around the imperial concubine, but tried his best to give them convenience.

But that's all. He would never be able to ask him to betray Wang An and turn to the imperial concubine.

However, after today, he didn't know whether Cao Huachun could still meet Eunuch Wang An.

The sound of guns outside the palace had already stopped. The ignorant young men would think that the chaos outside had been suppressed, but Eunuch Cao knew that it was a major matter outside.

The winner will definitely not be the East Palace.

Only when the resistance continues can the East Palace have hope, and the father-in-laws in the Silijian have hope.

However, it was really quiet outside, except for the heavy snow and howling winds.

"Ah!"

A 20-year-old thug thug who was standing beside Wang Huachun might have caught a cold, and he couldn't help but coughed loudly in his throat.

"Cheng'en, let it be covered, don't let anything happen if you freeze." Cao Huachun stuffed the soup pot in his hand into Wang Cheng'en, who had just been worshipped in his name at the beginning of the year.

This thug named Wang Chengen was recommended by Wang An to Cao Huachun because Wang Chengen had taken care of the prince's biological mother, Concubine Wang Gong, in the cold palace for several years. The prince felt that the child was specially assigned to him from the cold palace and asked Wang An to cultivate him. However, he would give him some benefits after ascending the throne in the future.

Cao Huachun did like Wang Chengen. This child had never been to Nei Shu Hall and had never been to school before entering the palace, but he was willing to study. He actually relied on his own rote memorization word by word, and he learned the Four Books and Five Classics. He also did things neatly and didn't talk much, so he was a useful person.

So, Cao Huachun decided to accept Wang Chengen as his first adopted son.

Holding the soup pot given by his adoptive father, Wang Chengen's palms warmed up a lot. He leaned the soup pot to his chest. He looked outside the hall that had turned white and whispered: "Second Dad, the snow outside is so heavy. My son went out to see it just now, but he had no feet."

"Yes, the snow is so heavy... the capital is covered with snow."

Cao Huachun murmured, "It's not a good omen, the blood is full of the capital..."

.........

There is still a faint fragrance in the warm trunk.

The two stoves made the temperature in the warmer much higher than outside. Pang Bao, who was wearing a cotton coat, felt a little hot after staying there for a while, but he did not dare to loosen the buttons and cool down because he was afraid that the imperial concubine would ask him to go out for information at any time.

However, it was dawn, but the Imperial Concubine did not give any instructions. However, Aunt Zheng came out twice and asked him to go down and rest first.

Pang Bao didn’t dare to rest, the outside of the palace has changed!

The sound of the curtain lifting came from inside. Pang Bao, who was a little sleepy, was shocked and quickly raised his head, but saw Aunt Zheng coming over with a basin.

Zheng Zi smiled at Pang Bao: "Empress is tired, go and get some hot water."

"The Empress hasn't been asleep?" Pang Bao looked inside, but only saw the emperor who was motionless on the dragon bed, but he did not see the imperial concubine.

"You haven't slept either... How many people in this palace can sleep?" Zheng Zi said a pun.

Pang Bao nodded, looked outside, and lowered his voice and said, "Why don't I go and have a look."

"What do you think? Those who should come will always come, and it is useless to think about those who should not come." Zheng Zi shook her head.

"Aunt Zheng, I know a few people in my personal army, why don't I call them over?" Pang Bao's heart beat hard when he said this.

Zheng Zi glanced at him and said, "No, don't do anything."

"Just wait like that? What if..."

"The emperor is still here, those old slaves don't have the courage."

Zheng Zi sneered and handed the wooden basin in her hand to Pang Bao.

...........

In the hall, the imperial concubine seemed to be closing her eyes to rest, but the empress's expression could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows and eyes.

A very strange expression, sometimes the face suddenly tense and sometimes loose; sometimes there is a flushing color, sometimes there is a look of shame.

The Empress was sitting, but for some reason, her legs were tight and not like a normal sitting position at all.

Especially after Zheng Zi went out to fetch water, the empress clamped her legs together and rubbed them hard. Perhaps she was dissatisfied, so she put her hands on again.

The breathing is very rapid and the heartbeat is also accelerating.

After a long time, the Empress exhaled a long sigh, with satisfaction, pleasure and hope on her face. Then she frowned slightly, and put the white handkerchief in her hand under her abdomen and gently wiped it. Then, the Empress actually picked up the handkerchief and placed it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently.

If anyone saw this scene, he would be stunned.

When there was a chaos inside and outside the palace, the imperial concubine was thinking about such a thing, which was really unimaginable.

But this is the case.

What is even more unacceptable is that all this is in front of her husband.
