The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Absolute Love in Zhaoyang Palace (3)

In the early morning, the abolished imperial edict was announced to the world.

Zhu Chengbi leaned on the embroidered peach blossom chair pillow, smashed the impatiens flowers mixed with alum and dyed the nails one by one by the breath of bamboo, and wrapped them in fine silk. He let out a long breath and asked: "Where are people today after the waste?"

Bamboo sighed with a smile, like a magnolia dyed with the deep feeling of spring: "The edict was announced before the court today, and the emperor did not give the courtiers any chance to object. Aocheng, went to Qianliang Hutong."

Zhu Chengbi nodded and said, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

"The empress dowager hasn't woken up after she fainted in the Yiyuan Hall. The imperial doctor Liang has come to report. I'm afraid she won't be able to last a month." Zhu Xi paused for a while, then wiped his hands in the scattered flower cloud basin, and whispered Said, "Emperor Liang is the most cautious, you can rest assured, since you can't last a month, no matter how hard the people from the Xia family in the Imperial Medical Bureau try their best, it will be useless after all. It will make the Queen Mother recover."

Seeing Zhu Chengbi drooping his eyes slightly, Zhu breathed out and asked, "Do you want to give the blood book in Aunt Zheng's hand to the emperor?"

"Of course, how can we pave the way for Ling'er if we don't take the opportunity to clean up Xia Clan's followers?" Zhu Chengbi was silent for a moment, thinking, "But I promised Aunt Zheng that I would not tell anyone her real identity. If we present it to the emperor, the emperor must discover it himself."

Zhu Xi thought for a while, and he understood: "I understand, but I am afraid that this matter must be done by Master Zhu Qizhen."

Zhu Chengbi nodded lightly, and said: "Zhu Qizhen has always been smart. Since he was able to find Aunt Zheng last time, it means that he did not blindly follow orders. As long as he is willing to use his brain, his talent will not be buried. Of course, Having said that, it's not good to use your brain too much." Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly, "It's just that it's too much to go too far."

In Chang'an Palace and Yunzhao Palace, in front of the red sandalwood carved and begonia embroidered screen, there are Fengluan throne, incense tables, palace fans, and incense pavilions, on which hang the emperor's imperial book "Yizhao Shushen" plaque, and the concubine holds a Mt. Lushan cloud meditates. Lushan cloud is most emerald green in color, fragrant like orchids, rich and mellow, fresh and refreshing, with fat, tender and white buds. It is one of the famous tribute teas. However, Hefei's thoughts are not here.

Huiyu stepped forward quietly, and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, yesterday you knelt in Tongming Hall for a long time, and you didn't sleep all night, you should take a rest."

Concubine He didn't seem to hear it, until Hui Yu persuaded her again, then said softly: "I'm not tired."

Huiyu felt a little helpless, and changed the tea in Hefei's hand for a cup: "Your Majesty, this tea is cold, why are you still holding it?"

Concubine He's hands were scalded by the newly added hot tea, and she couldn't help feeling a little numbness at her fingertips: "Back then, Ning'er stopped breathing in my arms, and my heart was colder than this tea. He hugged him for a long time, I only hoped that the warmth of my body would allow him to stay longer, even if it was just an illusion, it would make me feel that Xier was still by my side..."

Huiyu couldn't bear it a little, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he sighed softly: "Madam, now that you have His Highness Ninth, His Highness Ninth will definitely be very filial to you when he grows up, His Highness Fifth knows, so he can feel at ease."

"Yes, I still have Fen'er." Concubine He slowly straightened up, holding the silk to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Fen'er is really similar to Ning'er, every day when I go to bed, I have to hug her for a while to stop making trouble. It's really God's pity. Sometimes, I subconsciously feel that it is Xier who has returned to me." Hefei's tone was very warm, as if she brought the most beautiful scene in spring, she sank her head and thought carefully, suddenly He smiled, "The sun in Yunzhao Hall is the warmest, and the scenery of Yunzhao Liuxia, I'm afraid that Qianliang Hutong will never see it again."

Hui Yu pressed the jeweled pearls on her temples, and smiled contemptuously: "Your Majesty, she is a commoner now, and the emperor's willingness to spare her life is considered her blessing for several lifetimes. Compared with the empress."

Concubine He blew on the tea slowly, and finally couldn't help but sneer and said: "She still has a life, she is lucky, but it is not in vain to be able to bring her down this time."

Hui Yu smiled slightly and said: "Now there is no empress, and the empress dowager is in confinement again. Concubine Lin really holds the power of the Six Palaces. Don't worry, empress, no one will dare to underestimate us and go to Yunzhao Hall."

Concubine He froze for a moment, seemed to think of something, and said hesitantly: "Let's not talk about poisoning Concubine Shu's jujube honey after being abolished, how did you come up with the clumsy trick of loosening the stones of the rockery? Although His Highness the Sixth Prince Concubine Lin and His Highness the Fourth Highness have no clear relationship when something happened, but in the end it was a dangerous move by soldiers, it is really not a wise move."

Hui Yu was also a little puzzled, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Concubine Lin's concubine took pictures of the Sixth Palace, His Highness the Sixth Highness made a mistake, she must not be able to escape the blame, and there are rumors and rumors from the palace people about the establishment of the crown prince first, isn't that true?" Did Ling Wei confess?"

Concubine He shook her head: "Ling Wei was given the punishment of sternness, and her words may not be able to count. If Concubine Lin directed and acted to put the blame on the empress..." Concubine He sucked in a cold breath Gas, in the end did not dare to say.

Hui Yu was also shocked when he heard the words: "Impossible? Concubine Lin is not a clever planner, and the Fourth Highness will fall herself, how can Concubine Lin bear it?"

Concubine He thought for a while and said: "As long as the empress dowager has not collapsed, the emperor will not easily abolish the empress, and it can be regarded as taking care of the face of the Xia family. However, if the abolished empress does something stupid again, and it is once again threatening Concubine Shu, mother and son, then it is imperative to abolish the empress." Concubine He lowered her voice, seemed a little hesitant, and said slowly, "Actually, I have always wondered that Concubine Lin is not a person without a chest. Over the years, all concubines Mu, Mrs. Yu'e, Concubine Mi, Concubine Yangui, and Concubine have all disappeared. Is it really just a coincidence? Besides, Concubine Lin's position is becoming more and more stable now. Great power, are you willing to submit to Concubine Shu and give up the position of crown prince to His Highness the Sixth Highness?"

Hui Yu bowed his head and said nothing for a moment, "If Concubine Lin wants to seize the crown prince, she will definitely be in conflict with Concubine Shu, and Madam Shu will assist the Sixth Palace. How should I choose at that time?"

Concubine He sighed deeply: "Since I share the same spirit with Concubine Lin, there is no reason to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. Besides, Concubine Lin herself said that she is the one who can't tolerate betrayal the most. If I have a little bit of support for Concubine Shu Gui No, even if it's just watching from the sidelines, it's hard for me not to talk about it, and it's even more implicated for Fen'er."

Hui Yu frowned slightly: "Then the empress has to be prepared. Concubine Lin is going to deal with Concubine Shu, who is the favorite of the Sixth Palace."

"Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu are like sisters. Even if they want to seize the crown prince, they will not do so openly. We don't care what she has done, wants to do, and will do." Concubine He took a sip of Lushan cloud "What we have to do is to take good care of Liugong and provide her with all the information and support she needs. Even if Concubine Shu's mother and son are favored again, and the example of the abolished queen is put there, whoever blocks Concubine Lin's way will only die."

In Shenji Camp, Zhu Qizhen frowned after reading a document, cleared his throat and said, "You have handled everything well, so you don't need to ask me."

Sun Chuanzong sat lazily, just playing with the empty valley stone xun on the desk: "You know, now that the empress has been abolished, Zi'ao City is not at peace. A few days ago, there was a crazy woman in the Leng Palace who almost burned the Leng Palace. He said he was going to see the queen off." Sun Chuanzong burst into laughter as he spoke, "In the end, he burned himself to death, do you know who it is?"

"Who?"

"It's the former concubine, now Luo Shiluo changing clothes."

Zhu Qizhen coughed and said: "Anyway, she was once the emperor's favorite concubine, so don't talk behind your back, beware of being listened to by someone with a heart."

Sun Chuanzong didn't take it seriously, but said: "Your aunt is now very trusted by the emperor. Not long ago, Concubine Shu's palace replaced a group of guards and maids, and they were chosen by Concubine Lin herself."

Zhu Qizhen's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, how does the purple potato cake I gave you a few days ago taste like?"

Sun Chuanzong's gesture faltered, and he said with a half-smile: "Kapok's craftsmanship is indeed good, but I'm curious, is it because you blow the xun for her that she made purple potato cake for you?"

Zhu Qizhen was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said with a smile: "You know?"

Sun Chuanzong looked at him a few times: "A few days ago, I was on duty at Zi'ao City. I had nothing to do, so I walked around Taiye Pond. I just met him by chance. You may feel embarrassed, but you are greedy for the sound of the xun. Listen to it. It’s only for a moment. Speaking of which, Taiye Pond is also a strange place. Concubine Mi Gui and His Highness the Eighth Prince drowned there, and His Highness Fourth and His Highness the Sixth Highness almost slipped off the rockery there. It's better to set up an auspicious place, lest water ghosts and ghosts crawl out of the Taiye Pond and fall for your xun."

Zhu Qizhen became more and more embarrassed and speechless, so he could only reprimand in a low voice: "It's getting more and more muddled, how can anyone make jokes with His Highness with the empress in the palace..."

Sun Chuanzong didn't take it seriously, and just curled his lips and said: "It's hard for Mrs. Zhu to blow the xun for a little maid. I'm afraid he didn't know it, and thought you were in love with each other. It's just that the xun is good, but the tone is off if you lose the chi. The voice of Shang Qiu." Sun Chuanzong lowered his eyes, as if he was in deep thought, "I'm tired of eating purple potato cake, she will make it in the future, so you can eat it yourself." After speaking, he packed up the paperwork and started to leave.

Zhu Qizhen said anxiously: "Didn't you just say we had lunch together?"

Sun Chuanzong didn't turn his head back: "Mrs. Zhu brought over homemade meals every day. It seems that it's just for two people. I'd better leave."
