After Li Yuanjing escaped from the Zheng Manor, he returned to the palace without stopping.
Of course, he did not know Zheng Fengchi and Zheng Yunxiu's reactions.
The most important thing now was to complete the mission: Teach Li Shimin to be a brother
Rescue the mother and daughter in Ye Ting Palace.
Zheng Guanyin and Li Wanshun.
One was his sister-in-law, and the other was his niece.
Yeting Palace was located to the west of the Imperial Palace. Li Yuanjing returned to the palace and found a eunuch to lead the way.
......
Ye Ting Palace, Yongning Lane.
The streets here were dark and the lighting was not good. The concubines who had been banished to the cold palace, as well as Zheng Guanyin and her daughter, lived here.
The north and south exits of the alley were guarded by more than ten guards in turn.
Obviously, Li Shimin was afraid that someone would kidnap Zheng Guanyin and her daughter.
After the death of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, all his sons were killed by Li Shimin.
As Zheng Guanyin and Li Wanshun were a widow, Li Shimin still had a conscience. He did not kill them and instead imprisoned them here forever.
On the contrary, the ministers were cheering for Li Shimin's benevolence and righteousness, which was a sad thing.
It was benevolent for the bad guys to kill one less person. It was hard to be a good person.
The incident at Xuanwu Gate had just ended, and Zheng Guanyin and her daughter had people monitoring them. Now that Li Er had firmly grasped the government in his hands, their prison-like life was gradually improving.
"Wash it for me!"
In the courtyard, an arrogant palace maid carried a large basin of clothes and poured them into the well as she shouted at the former Crown Princess, Zheng Guanyin.
After being imprisoned for half a year, Zheng Guanyin's face had become more weathered, and her back had also hunched a little. She said calmly,
"Alright."
The guards outside the courtyard heard the noise but did not stop it. They were already used to it.
If he helped the sinner Zheng Guanyin, he would be labeled as a remnant of the hidden crown prince.
The guard sighed in his heart,"A tiger that has fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs."
The two little palace maids behind this shrewish palace maid tugged at her clothes and said in a very low voice,"Sister, I heard that the Zheng family of Xingyang has been named a first-class family recently.”
The little palace maid was afraid, but the head palace maid was not. Her voice was very sharp as she said,"What's wrong with the Zheng family of Xingyang? Zheng Guanyin was a traitor, and His Majesty was merciful enough to let her live. So what if she washed some clothes?”
The little palace maid did not speak, but Zheng Guanyin smiled and said,""I'll wash the clothes and hand them over to you tomorrow.”
This made the head palace maid afraid. Was this woman an idiot? She didn't even resist.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
An eight-year-old crazy girl rushed out and pounced on the palace maids with a kitchen knife. In an instant, she was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, causing a series of screams.
" Madman!!!"
"Run!"
" That was scary!!!!"
The head palace maid was so frightened that she threw away the laundry basin in her hand. The three of them fled in panic, and the guards outside the courtyard let out a muffled sound.
Li Wanshun panted heavily as she knelt on the ground, crying and complaining,"
"Mother, why aren't you resisting?”
She was once the beloved granddaughter of a royal family. Her father was the crown prince, and her grandfather was the emperor. She was well-fed and had a hundred palace maids.
As long as Li Yuan abdicated, she could become a princess.
Now, her dream of being a princess was gone. She had become a " princess in distress."
"If you resist, you won't have anything to eat next time.”
Zheng Guanyin looked at her daughter's sallow face. Clearly, she was undernourished. She silently put away the pile of clothes and prepared to wash them.
That was because the three palace maids were there to deliver food to them.
Zheng Guanyin was first imprisoned here, and she was very surprised that the food sent by the imperial kitchen was like pig feed.
Later, he discovered that the food sent by the imperial kitchen was actually very good. In fact, it was the head palace maid who picked up the good food and ate it.
At the beginning, Zheng Guanyin also resisted and wanted to ask the guards to send a message to the Empress, Retired Emperor, and Emperor, but every time, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Unfortunately, none of the guards dared to.
Even if the guards dared to bring the letter, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun would not dare to come and see Zheng Guanyin. Seeing her would mean awakening the bloody memories of killing their brothers.
Wasn't it nice to stay in the harem? They were more willing to ignore the existence of this person in the palace.
Therefore, Zheng Guanyin was in despair. Ye Ting Palace was a place where the sun never shone, so that head palace maid dared to be so arrogant. She must have seen through everything.
Zheng Guanyin believed in Buddhism and accepted everything. She picked up the laundry basin and prepared to get water from the well to wash her clothes.
If they didn't wash their clothes, they would probably starve to death.
Her husband was dead, and she was alone.
Heaven and earth were so big that he had no one to rely on.
Li Wanshun couldn't stand her cowardly mother. She snatched the basin of clothes and rushed to the firewood room. She locked the door and threw the clothes into the stove to burn.
A strange smell was emitted into the air through the chimney.
Zheng Guanyin didn't say a word. She returned to her room and sat on the futon, fiddling with the Buddha beads on her wrist.
She believed in Buddhism's karma and reincarnation. Her late husband, Li Jiancheng, must have gone to the Western Paradise. The Emperor, Li Shimin, was the one in pain.
She deliberately worked hard to make herself old, hoping to see Li Shiming one day and make him regret and have a psychological trauma.
"The Heavenly Dao reincarnates. Misfortunes and blessings are rewarded."
Li Wanshun was quite happy after burning her clothes, but when she heard her mother's words, she became angry again.
She ran to the woodshed and locked the door. This was her small world.
He took out a small iron rod from under the pile of firewood and placed it on the whetstone. He sat on the wooden stake and skillfully rubbed it back and forth.
It was the sound of iron grinding.
She was once the granddaughter of the royal family, but now she was like a primitive person.
"F * ck! Rustle! Rustle!"
When Li Wanshun saw that one end of the iron rod had been sharpened to the point where it could even stab someone to death, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Big bastard, you killed my father, my brother, and my younger brother.”
Li Wanshun seemed to have been possessed, hatred had already sprouted in her heart.
In the past, the big beast also liked her very much, and she also liked Uncle Qin very much, until the big beast did the things of a beast.
How she wished that none of that had happened.
As she grinded, her tears fell.
This sharp weapon was smaller than a kitchen knife and could be hidden in one's sleeve to give the other party a surprise attack.
If he didn't die, he would be heavily injured.
Ten years of grinding iron, only for one day.
This was the daily life of Zheng Guanyin and Li Wanshun.
