Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Chapter 67

After leaving Changle Palace, Gu Xizhao avoided people and went straight to Mingxing Palace.

Ever since the child in her belly became pregnant, Mrs. Qing has been in poor health to the outside world. In addition, the harem is clean now, and the Ming Xing Palace has been closed from beginning to end. No one has much to say about Mrs. Qing. The absence of a person with a sense of presence has raised doubts.

Gu Xizhao intentionally used Mrs. Qing to lure Jiang Ming to show off. After Zhongqiu heard that Mrs. Qing's child was still there, she waited patiently for Jiang Ming to take the bait.Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming could hold his breath very well. It was not until today that Concubine Ning secretly sent her a message during the banquet.

Gu Xizhao hadn't met Jiang Ming face to face, and she couldn't figure out his skills. After arriving at Mingxing Palace, she didn't dare to cross the wall to enter as before. Instead, she stared at the dark place for a long time before going cautiously. In Concubine Ning's bedroom.

Concubine Ning was not in the bedroom, so Gu Xizhao sat alone in her bedroom for a while, and waited for a while before hearing movement from outside, then hid herself in the gap between the cabinet and the wall, and waited until Concubine Ning put the palace servants He waved back, making sure that there was no sign of a third person in the dormitory, and then walked out from the crack.

"Madam Gu." Concubine Ning was not surprised.

Gu Xizhao nodded. She had seen the ceremony. Looking at the tired look on her face, she knew that she must have come from Mrs. Qing's palace just now, "Is she gone?"

She was asking Mrs. Qing's husband, Jiang Ming. Tonight is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and all the concubines in the harem gathered in the Taihe Palace to watch a play, so tonight's private meeting is naturally an excellent opportunity.

"I left in a hurry before returning to the palace." Concubine Ning was silent for a moment, and then added: "Fortunately, I asked the maid to come back halfway, otherwise today..."

Gu Xizhao looked at her: "How?"

Concubine Ning was a little distracted, Gu Xizhao asked aloud, and she cheered up, "She told me just now that Jiang Ming doesn't want the child in her belly now, she begged me to save her..."

Don't want it now?

Was it the one who once wanted a wicked seed?

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, then looked up at her in a flash, "What else is Concubine Ning hiding from me?"

Concubine Ning knew she had made a slip of the tongue and covered her mouth in panic.

"As far as I know, Mrs. Qing has never been favored by the late emperor. But Concubine Ning, the late emperor has turned over the sign a few times." Gu Xizhao was still not in a hurry. While speaking, his eyes slowly moved down and stopped at Ning Concubine Ning's stomach, "If Ming Xinggong has a child... huh... I'm afraid I can only crawl out of Concubine Ning's stomach."

Concubine Ning knelt down in a panic, "Madam Gu believes in me, I have absolutely no intention of doing so..."

"You didn't, I believe." Gu Xizhao blinked, and then looked at the hexagonal porcelain vase with blue and white folded branches and flowers and fruits placed in the corner of the movie at the beginning of the credits, "You wouldn't do such a stupid thing, Concubine Ning is a smart person, but I don't believe it You can't guess what Madam Qing's plan is."

Concubine Ning closed her eyes.

The first emperor had been on the throne for five years and had no heirs. These women in the harem tried their best to conceive a son and a half daughter, and then the mother was more expensive than the son.

What was Mrs. Qing's plan? She vaguely guessed, that's why when she found out that she was pregnant, she asked Gu Xizhao for help to bring down the child.

Confusing the blood of the royal family is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans.

"Even though I defend her in every possible way, I never thought of letting that child be born." Concubine Ning clenched her palms, her face showing pain, "I have been in love with her for many years, and I have never thought of her You actually counted me in..."

Until today, Mrs. Qing told her the truth, every time the late emperor came to Ming Xing Palace to pamper Concubine Ning, Jiang Ming would come to Ming Xing Palace to have a private meeting with her.

Mrs. Qing knew that she was kind to him in every possible way, and it was estimated that she would accompany her to play a scene of using a bastard as the heir of the emperor.

Concubine Ning never imagined that her many years of sincerity towards people, in the end, got her all kinds of schemes.

Gu Xizhao listened to Concubine Ning's voice suppressing disappointment and pain, and felt pity in her heart. She probably loved someone, and her heart became softer. It is because people are too dull.

"It's not too late to make up for it. Concubine Ning has seen it clearly now, she should cheer up and live the days to come."

"In the days to come?" Concubine Ning murmured. It was Mrs. Qing who entered the palace back then, and she followed her into the palace. She thought that at least she would be able to stay with her sisters for the rest of her life. Even if she was trapped in the deep palace, she would no longer be lonely. .

Now...how can there be any future?

Gu Xizhao couldn't bear her distraught look, and was worried that she would give up because of her stubbornness. After deliberating for a moment, she knelt down and pulled her, "I promise to Concubine Ning that the matter of Mrs. Qing is settled, and I will go up with the emperor personally." Let me intercede for you, and let you leave the palace when the time comes, and from now on, Concubine Ning will be free."

Fearing that Concubine Ning would not believe it, she paused, and added in a low voice, "The emperor always listens to me."

Concubine Ning suddenly smiled, "The person in Madam Gu's heart is the emperor, not the late emperor, right? You never liked the late emperor, did you?"

Gu Xizhao hurriedly turned her face away, "Now I'm talking about Mrs. Qing, why did Concubine Ning suddenly..."

"That's great." Concubine Ning lowered her eyes and interrupted her, "It can be seen that the emperor is sincere to Mrs. Gu. I believe what you say."

Gu Xizhao brushed her broken hair, felt a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, and said seriously: "Since Concubine Ning believes me, she will tell me everything you know. I will not hide anything from Ning. Concubine, between me and the late emperor, there was no real relationship between husband and wife."

Concubine Ning was taken aback for a moment, then she came back to her senses, and she didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, she hesitated and said, "The relationship between me and Madam Gu has never been revealed to her. Therefore, she did not know that Madam knew that she was pregnant. According to what she told me today, Jiang Ming always hoped that she would conceive a child, and the future birth would be counted in my name... As for the reason, Madam must not need to Let me say more."

Gu Xizhao nodded, but she was still a little curious, "Then why doesn't Jiang Ming want her to keep the child now?"

Concubine Ning shook her head, "She didn't say much about it, but...Jiang Ming said that this child is no longer needed."

Don't need it now?

Gu Xizhao couldn't figure it out for a moment, and pondered for a moment, "You don't need to let her know about our connection, she should know that I found out what happened that day, otherwise she wouldn't have to come to please me when I was in Yunyang Palace .”

Concubine Ning nodded, "She told me about this, and wondered why you kept it a secret for her. I mentioned it tactfully, saying that you must have not found out the identity of the man that day, and there is no evidence , that's why I help her hide it."

Gu Xizhao glanced at her, is this a mistake?

But that's fine, in that case, Jiang Ming won't be on guard against her.

Thinking of this, Gu Xizhao didn't think too much, but continued: "Now Jiang Ming doesn't want the child in Mrs. Qing's womb, so... what are you going to do?"

Concubine Ning heard Madam Qing's truth tonight, apart from disappointment and pain, the most spineless thing is that even now, she still has a little bit of intolerance for Madam Qing, "I... I don't know... Gu Madame, please spare her life."

"The things she did, no matter which one, are enough for her to die without a place to bury her." Gu Xizhao looked at her, "Concubine Ning, her life is here with me. There is no difference, but to you, it is a great threat. However, I want to remind you, since Jiang Ming doesn't want this evil seed, I'm afraid she has no value to people..."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes: "Concubine Ning, you should understand what I mean."

Now, Mrs. Qing's life depends not on her willingness to spare, but on Jiang Ming.

Concubine Ning understood what Gu Xizhao meant, "That's why I beg you."

Gu Xizhao moved her mouth, and suppressed the admonition on the edge of her mouth, and finally just sighed, "I will let people pay more attention to Mingxing Palace, and when the time is right, I will personally send people out of the palace... But you Also be prepared, she has been in her stomach for at least six months, and if she falls at this time... I can't guarantee whether she will kill two people."

Concubine Ning bowed her head heavily, "Thank you Mrs. Gu for your kindness. In the future, whenever I can be useful, I will be obliged to do so."

She understood that Gu Xizhao could only do so much.

"Concubine Ning is too polite." Gu Xizhao smiled, "Concubine Ning just remember that what I did today was not to save Mrs. Qing, but to save you, that's all."

Remember: I saved your life, just live well.

Concubine Ning understood her words, her heart was warmed by the spring breeze. In contrast, the sourness in her heart was even more turbulent, rushing to her throat, blocking thousands of words of gratitude, rushing to her eyes, turning into silent tears.
