Lord, don't chase me, I want to go back to modern times

Chapter 173 The Empress Dowager's Death, Doubtful!

As if I didn't see her warning eyes, I said along with all Jieyu, "The slaves swear to be loyal to Mrs. Ya to the death."

She withdrew her sharp eyes and smiled cleverly, "Okay, let's go to the theater with me." Madam Ya stood up with a satisfied face, and walked out first with the support of the palace servants.

The fog was misty and the north wind was blowing. I sat quietly in the last row of Mrs. Ya, far away from her. On the stage, I was hard at work performing "Actor Li", which was widely circulated among the people.

This is exactly the tragic love story of an actor and a scholar who fell in love with a scholar when I was in Jinyun Tower, but finally hanged himself because of a misunderstanding. The excitement of counting silver was gone.

Just when the women in the audience were enjoying themselves, Concubine Xia unexpectedly came, and everyone hurriedly stood up to greet her, only to see her staring at Mrs. Ya after ignoring me, and finally slowly walking towards the main seat.

Since Xia Yu became a noble concubine, her temperament has really changed a lot, so I try to avoid her as much as possible.

Xia Yu is like a proud peacock, with a hypocritical smile on her lips, she said slowly, "I heard that my sister invited all Jieyu to watch a play here, and I have nothing to do, so I came here to join in the fun, my sister won't Don't welcome it." Her voice was very soft, but there was a majesty that could not be rejected.

Ming Ming is younger than Mrs. Ya, but this call of sister is very natural.

Madam Ya twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this, and replied respectfully, "How could it be?" She took a step back and moved to the second seat, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

No matter how arrogant Madam Ya is, she still has some fears in front of Xia Yu. After all, although the emperor does not favor the noble concubine as much as she does, he still respects her very much.

After Concubine Xia sat upright, the rest of the people slowly returned to their seats.

I glanced lightly at Xia Yu who was sitting on the main seat, but I saw a clear look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and then quickly retracted it.

I made a guess and put myself in a corner, trying to hide myself as much as possible.

"Actor Li? How does my younger sister like such lowly operas?" Concubine Xia, who was sitting in the first seat, just listened to a few words, then turned her head and asked Mrs. Ya beside her.

Unsurprisingly, she disliked the opera very much.

"Looking back three times, it's just for one person, and it's all empty." Madam Ya seemed not to have heard one of Concubine Xia's belittling, and there was a charming smile on her face, and there was something hard to hide in the smile. sadness.

"Xizili is now a banned book, not only this Xizili, but also all the things that have been handed down in Jinyun Tower in the past, the emperor has issued an order to ban it. This table... it should be removed." The imperial concubine said in a deep voice, turning the stage The up-singing was interrupted by the troupe who had a great time, then thought for a moment, and said, "Change to the Song of Everlasting Regret."

Mrs. Ya had a faint displeasure flashing across her face, but she didn't stop her, she stared at the theater troupe who had withdrawn their order to change their costumes again, quickly changed the tune, and performed the Song of Everlasting Regret.

"Sister, look, the love between Tang Minghuang and Concubine Yang can be regarded as epic. This Concubine Yang was once loved by three thousand people, but in the end it ended up so desolate. The once flashy was just a fleeting cloud, which is sad."

Xia Yu's voice was very loud, as if she wanted everyone present to hear it, and those who understood would know that there was an allusion in Xia Yu's words.

Seeing the two women seated satirizing each other, I actually found it funny,

Back when they were sisters who were deeply in love and dealt with Chunrui together, why didn't they see this confrontation now?

"But I think Concubine Yang's life is worth living. At least the love between her and Tang Minghuang has become a swan song through the ages. This hatred will last forever. Can it be understood that it is too long to hate the injustice of God and Tang Minghuang? Short." Madam Ya was not irritated at all, she spoke calmly, her tone revealing incomparable pride and arrogance.

Even though I knew that Xiao Jincheng and her were not husband and wife, I was also shocked by Mrs. Ya's feelings for Xiao Jincheng. Could it really have nothing to do with a woman's deep love?Thinking of Xiao Jincheng's love for Mrs. Ya, I was confused again.

The corner of Concubine Xia's mouth raised a sarcastic smile, but she was no longer aggressive.

On the contrary, Wu Jieyu, who saw me above me, sighed slightly, "Why are you sighing?"

I stared at her strangely and asked in a low voice.

"Jealousy and paternity, vying for beauty and taking pity, the sage dies, the youth fades, and it ends up like a dream." She vividly described the harem scene in front of her in a simple sentence, and her talent is really rare.

I lightly glanced at the people around me, and then I stopped talking and sank into my own world alone.

Just like Hou Men is as deep as the sea, this is also the reason why I don't want to participate in the harem.But now I'm also involved?
"I just heard yesterday that An Jieyu's Flying Daggers danced at the same place as Princess Zhenbei's. It's really a coincidence. I haven't seen the princess's dance before, but An Jieyu did it that night. On the contrary, it is so beautiful that it has made the good dramas I have watched so far boring."

When I was immersed in my own world alone, Xia Yu's voice came from the side, and I looked along the voice, "I wonder if I can appreciate it again?"

I immediately got up from the chair and knelt down, "I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to dance."

Even if I want to jump, these feet can't allow it now.

Madam Ya at the side smiled, and stared at me with the same gaze, "The imperial concubine is truly blessed, and now An Jieyu will only dance for the emperor."

The alliance between the two women who were mocking each other just now surprised me a lot.

There was no time for me to refute, Xia Yu's expression darkened, "Is it because I don't have enough weight?"

Her slightly warning voice came into my ears along with the cold wind, and I thought to myself that if I don’t dance tonight, she will definitely not let it go, how can I fight against her now that I’m just a little Jieyu, but my current body is indeed It is more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Mrs. Ya kept me silent, pretending to sigh with regret, "Isn't the imperial concubine aware, the emperor turned over An Jieyu's brand tonight!"

Both Xia Yu and I were shocked, how could such a big event be unknown?Did Mrs. Ya deliberately fabricate it in front of Xia Yu, or did she want to sabotage tonight's bedtime service?

"Really?" Xia Yu looked at me closely, with a flash of sarcasm and jealousy in her eyes, "No wonder the airs are so big, is this going to climb a branch to become a phoenix?"

Xia Yu's voice suddenly faltered, and she approached me straight, "An Jieyu, I'll just leave the words here today, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to climb onto the dragon bed!"

I looked at Xia Yu in astonishment, not understanding why she was so excited. Xiao Jincheng had known for a long time that she would never touch women in the harem. Even if I was announced to be in bed tonight, it would be replaced by someone else. Why did she say so?Just because you hate me?

Knowing that everyone in Qianniao Palace had dispersed, I still knelt on the ground and let the north wind beat me mercilessly, stirring up dark dust.

Mrs. Ya's instigation and dissension, and Concubine Xia's oriole behind her, are all delicate moves.

As expected that night, I didn't receive a notice to attend the bed, and there was no rumor. It was a good thing for me, and I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After secretly preparing some food, I sneaked into Xihe Garden to visit the empress dowager who was imprisoned there.

I have no other intentions, I just want to know more about Xiao Jincheng's past.

When I stepped here, I only felt a chill hit my body. Compared with last time, I felt a little more gloomy. The lantern in my hand was flickering and swaying with the wind.

Unable to hold back the clothes that fit him, but still unable to withstand the cold, he shivered and pushed open the door cautiously.

"squeak-"

With a harsh sound, my hand suddenly lost strength, and the food box and lantern all fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

I widened my eyes, looked at everything in front of me, and wanted to yell, but I couldn't make a sound. In the end, I could only slump on the ground with all four limbs limp.

As soon as the guards guarding outside the West Crane Garden heard the movement, they immediately lit up the flames and surrounded the West Crane Garden with three floors inside and three floors outside.

When they carried out the body hanged on the beam, I was still sitting on the ground slumped, staring blankly at the dead-faced Queen Mother, unable to regain my senses for a long time.

Such a tragic death, I guess I will have nightmares again and again in the future.

I maintained this posture until the emperor came, nothing changed. He just stood in front of the empress dowager, looked at it indifferently for a long time, and finally asked without emotion, "How did you die?"

Just four words contain a lot of danger.

This woman is the bargaining chip to contain Xiao Yiran, and now that this woman is dead, then Xiao Yiran is not far away.

"It should have been suicide by hanging." The guard at the side replied tremblingly.

"Should?" Xiao Jincheng obviously did not accept this answer.He had already arranged for people to guard the West Crane Garden strictly, how could he let her commit suicide? !
Crouching on the ground, Wu Zuo suddenly yelled, "Your Majesty, she killed the Empress Dowager. There are bruises on her neck and it just circles around. The murderer must have strangled her to death with white silk from behind her and hanged herself."

Xiao Jincheng suddenly looked at me, and said in a cold tone, "Why are you here?"

"I, I..." I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how to explain it. After all, it was a secret that the Queen Mother was locked up here, but I secretly came to see her!
Just when I was trembling and didn't know how to explain it, the guard on the side yelled strangely, "Your Majesty!"

Then handed over a jade pendant held by the Queen Mother to Xiao Jincheng.

He took it over and looked at it, and his expression changed immediately, "Go and invite King Rong to me."

The please was written with extra force, and the handsome face with the backlight flickered. I vaguely felt that things were not simple, and that there was about to be an unusually big change.

Xiao Jincheng stepped forward to help me up, his eyes flickered, he stared at me for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, "Are you scared?"

"The emperor... the empress dowager." I was so frightened tonight, and then coaxed by his gentle voice, tears welled up in my eyes.

He sighed softly, reached out to catch my tears, and gently wiped them away, "Did you see someone suspicious?" He asked in a low voice, but mixed with a bit of gloom, making it hard to guess whether he was happy or angry.
