It was a sunny day. Zhou Leping had lunch in the military camp at noon, and a chopstick of rice was delivered to his mouth. Outside, some soldiers came in and said that the servants of the great palace wanted to see him.

Although she was hungry, she did not hesitate to put down her chopsticks and hurried out. The housekeeper of the Imperial Palace asked her to see the imperial concubine.

"What's the matter with sister-in-law?"

"It's been several days. I don't eat or drink. I've been talking about your highness all the time. She doesn't care if the little master cries or shouts. I can't persuade them to eat. I'm in a dilemma. You're the only one I can think of. Please follow me to see the great imperial concubine."

Zhou Leping put down what he was doing, told the soldiers at the door, and went to the palace with the housekeeper.

The weather is getting warmer. The sun is already shining at noon, and people are sweating. The imperial concubine is standing in the yard, looking at the trees that have sprouted in the yard. I don't know how long she has been standing.

On the table behind her were some delicate snacks and freshly brewed tea, but the snacks and tea remained untouched. The maid looked at her anxiously and saw Zhou Leping, with hope in her eyes.

"Sister in law." She first tentatively called, saw that she did not respond, approached and said, "sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Big imperial concubine Zheng Zheng of, didn't turn head to see her, even eyes all didn't move, "didn't see what."

"Have you eaten yet? I wish GuanLiang would not go home this afternoon. I'm bored to eat alone. Can I have a meal with you? "

"Oh, of course."

The imperial concubine finally agreed to see her. She chuckled and asked her maid to prepare lunch.

Zhou Leping sat at the table with a snack, tasted it and coaxed her, "what kind of kidney bean cake is this? How can I eat it different from that at home? It seems that I put milk in it. Try it and see if it's right? "

The big imperial concubine is being called back by her in a trance, "I don't know. I'd better ask the cook later."

Zhou Leping raised his cheek and sighed, "how boring I am to eat alone, do you really not eat? If you don't eat, I'll be embarrassed to come to you later. "

The imperial concubine said that she was not hungry and did not want to eat.

"What about the winter solstice? I haven't seen him for many days. Take him out and let me have a look. "

Maid in a side way, "the little master has gone to bed, crying all morning, the nurse just coax to sleep."

Hearing the winter solstice crying all morning, the imperial concubine didn't respond much. It was like losing her soul. Zhou Leping choked a mouthful of kidney bean cake in her throat, drank water down, and sobbed her face. "How hard it was when she was born at the winter solstice, now even the children can ignore it. I know you are sad, but no matter how hard it is, the child is innocent. You are his mother, and all he can count on is you, What about the winter solstice? You don't care about him in the future? "

The big imperial concubine shakes her head, her cheek is wet with tears, "I can't get over it, I really can't get over it. I haven't even had a good sleep these two days. I really can't do it. What can I do if it doesn't happen? Can you tell me what I should do? "

For a moment, Zhou Leping really couldn't help telling her that Shan Ning was not a monk, but she was dying and didn't want to let you know, so she found such an excuse to cheat you.

But Shan Ning is just a great imperial concubine. If you know that Shan Ning is going to die, isn't it more sad? I'm afraid that if I'm too sad, it's possible to follow Shan Ning.

She was so depressed that she wanted to tell the imperial concubine the truth that she said, "it's just that you are a monk and you are still fine. If you don't eat or drink, you will be exhausted. What can you do in winter solstice? My father's face is gone without remembering him. Now he doesn't even have his mother? "

The imperial concubine shook her head, hid her face and wept. She leaned on Zhou Leping's shoulder and howled for a long time. She wet half of Zhou Leping's clothes. Finally, she was tired of crying. Her maid came to ask her to have dinner, which stopped her crying.

The imperial concubine accompanied Zhou Leping for a few meals. After that, she asked her maidservant to take the winter solstice. "It's really hard for me to take care of him now. All the concubines in the house have been sent home by me. I can only trust you and Lao Wu. When I'm better, I'll take him back. Is that ok?"

Zhou Leping was stunned for a moment. "None of us will take care of our children. I'm a rude man. I'm afraid I can't take good care of you. You'd better see for yourself. Children can't leave their mother."

The imperial concubine shook her head. "I'm like this now. You see, how can you take good care of him? Since he was born, the one who takes care of him most is the nurse. I'll let the nurse go with you. Can you help me?"

It's really strange that she asked. Zhou Leping was about to explore the purpose behind her words. The great imperial concubine had put her child in her arms, "when I beg you."

Zhou Leping didn't know how she agreed to it at that time. Anyway, when she came back, the winter solstice was already at home. Well, she brought it back, and there was a nurse. It shouldn't be so difficult to raise a child, but she always felt that something was wrong with it.

It turned out that her worry was not superfluous. A few days later, the housekeeper of the Imperial Palace came back and said that the imperial concubine had disappeared.

It seems that there is a premeditation. The winter solstice is her last concern. If she gives the winter solstice to her, the imperial concubine can go to find Shan Ning without any scruple.

At this time, the winter solstice was lying in the breast of the nurse. I didn't know if I understood anything. Suddenly, she began to cry. She couldn't coax her well. Zhou Leping took the baby, put it in his arms and shook it gently. As he told people, "go to find Zhu GuanLiang... Forget it, go to the general's house and give me a post. I'll go there in a moment." Zhu GuanLiang came back very late these two days. She stayed up for several days, and her eyes were blue. She took half of Jiang Shi's job in the weaving Institute, but she couldn't find a suitable person to replace him for a while. Zhu GuanLiang still had the big head. She didn't want him to work hard any more, so she just did it by herself. During the winter solstice, Zhou Leping cried in his arms for a while. The nurse fed him milk once. He was tired of crying and had enough to drink, and soon fell asleep. When he fell asleep at the winter solstice, Zhou Leping changed his clothes and went to the general's residence. He explained the reason to General Zhang and asked him to send troops to find the imperial concubine. Zhou Leping's help to the army is really hard to repay. This little thing naturally helps. From her asking for help to the general's sending troops, it took only a long time. The imperial concubine went to find Shan Ning alone. She must have gone to the temple. Zhou Leping asked General Zhang to send someone to guard the temples nearby. She didn't travel so fast alone. She should be able to find it soon. After all the tasks were assigned, Zhou Leping was deeply worried and remorseful. If she had known the purpose of the imperial concubine, maybe today's situation would not have happened. Two days later, if the imperial concubine had any danger, she really didn't dare to think about the consequences.
