Empress Dowager + Spoiler

"Miss Lin, let go." Concubine Ning was also helpless.

Seeing this posture, Lin Wanqing didn't know that the two of them were familiar, so she hugged Gu Xizhao's feet tightly, "The concubine has a good friend, and I want to know her too."

Gu Xizhao: "..."

Concubine Ning raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, looked at Gu Xizhao with apologetic expression, and could only nod for a while.

Gu Xizhao understood, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back and took off the mask, "How? Ms. Lin, did you know her?"

Seeing that it was Gu Xizhao, Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses, let go of her hand, and saluted, "My little girl has seen Mrs. Gu."

Gu Xizhao ignored her, stood aside with her, and walked towards Concubine Ning on her own, "When did you and her become so close?"

"Old man." Concubine Ning cast a sidelong glance at Lin Wanqing, said something lightly, without further mentioning, and instead asked, "Why did Madam come here today?"

"Come and have a look at you." Gu Xizhao's words were not a lie, after knowing that Concubine Ning had some feelings for the dead Mrs. Qing, she was really worried about her.

"Thank you Madam for your concern." Concubine Ning smiled a little, then glanced at Lin Wanqing again, "You go down first, I have a few words to say to Madam."

Lin Wanqing nodded, walked to the door, turned around and said, "The emperor wants to make his wife his queen, but the civil and military officials of the court disagree, so I have an idea."

Gu Xizhao was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't hold back, "What's your idea?"

Lin Wanqing's eyes were sly, "After the matter is completed, Mrs. Gu will promise to let me enter the palace."

"Ok?"

"Able to enter the emperor's harem."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Lin Wanqing took another step closer, "And I can get rid of Concubine Yu at that time."

Gu Xizhao was startled, glanced at her, and then at Concubine Ning, "Isn't she Miss Lin San?"

Without waiting for Concubine Ning to answer, Lin Wanqing said first: "Yes. But Concubine Yu and I are not siblings, my mother is just a skinny Lin'an horse."

Gu Xizhao glanced at the coldness in her eyes, raised her eyebrows, "Then why does San Miss Lin enter the palace?"

Lin Wanqing felt a little embarrassed about this, she quickly glanced at Concubine Ning, and then said truthfully: "The Lin family raised me as a daughter-in-law in the Lin family, but they just treated me as a pawn. Concubine Ning has something for me. Well, I am willing to accompany her in the palace in the future. Mrs. Gu, the emperor suffers from misogyny, after I enter the palace, I will not compete with you for favor."

When Gu Xizhao heard her last sentence, she couldn't help laughing, and stretched out her hand to pinch her chin, "Little girl, you are so confident that you can compete with me for favor."

Lin Wanqing quickly shook her head, "My little girl doesn't dare."

Gu Xizhao suddenly turned cold, "How can I trust you?"

Lin Wanqing was not in a panic, "Mrs. Lin killed my mother, and Lin Wenshu was watching. As for Lin Wanyu, if it wasn't for Concubine Ning, I would be a girl from a flower building in Lin'an at this moment. Madam, do you believe me? "

Gu Xizhao looked at her face, noncommittal, and then said slightly: "Since that's the case, why is the Lin family still treating you so well? Are they not afraid of 'raising tigers'?"

Lin Wanqing smiled, "If I knew about these things, I'm afraid I'd be dead by now."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, "But I'm afraid of bringing wolves into the room."

"Madam..." Lin Wanqing knelt down, "If I have any dissatisfaction with Madam in the future, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death."

Gu Xizhao glanced at Concubine Ning, "Get up. Before making a deal, it's better for Ms. Lin to show some integrity first."

Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up, "Madam, please tell me."

Gu Xizhao was silent for a while, "Go to Jinxiu Palace more often."

Lin Wanqing waited for a while, but did not wait for the next sentence, "That's all?"

Gu Xizhao smiled, "That's all. Of course, if Miss Lin can find some useful information for me, I will be very happy."

Lin Wanqing nodded after a while.

Gu Xizhao also stopped looking at her, and looked at Concubine Ning again, "Since I have an old friend to accompany me, then I can feel at ease."

After that, she left directly.

When she could no longer see Gu Xizhao, Concubine Ning turned her head to look at Lin Wanqing, "You are still young, why do you have to?"

"If I hadn't met the concubine, I would have died." Lin Wanqing stretched out her hand and rubbed her frowning brows away, "The left is just a pawn, and when they enter the palace, they have to salute when they see me. I'm not impulsive, It's not just for the concubine, don't mind the concubine."

Concubine Ning looked at her pretty face, she hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed.

On the other side, after Gu Xizhao left Mingxing Palace, he hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but go to Chengqian Palace.

Chapter 75

Chengqian Palace was heavily guarded, Gu Xizhao slipped around far away, couldn't find the dead corner of the guards, and didn't dare to take risks. Although she was worried about Zhao Sansi, she finally gritted her teeth and turned back to Changle Palace.

The night was long, and Gu Xizhao didn't close his eyes all night. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, he got up and sat by the window all night.

The white dew in the early winter gave off a damp chill, and when the cicada came in to serve her, she was surprised to see her sitting by the window in a daze in her middle clothes, "Since the madam is up, why don't you ask your servants to come in to serve you?"

Gu Xizhao was still immersed in her own thoughts, and did not speak up.

Cicada didn't think about it for a while, and approached, seeing the person's lips turned blue and chills all over her body, she suddenly became anxious, stretched out her hand to rub Gu Xizhao's hand, and then touched her forehead, "What's wrong with Ma'am?" It’s so cold, could it be that you’ve caught a cold?”

As soon as she tossed and tossed, Gu Xizhao also came back to her senses, and the consciousness of wandering in the sky gradually came together, and the exhaustion after staying up for a long night followed closely. He hugged his chest with his hands and flinched, "It's probably because of the cold."

Chan'er quickly took an old cloak and put it on her, and then helped her to sit on the bed, "Then Madam, do you feel uncomfortable? You are also self-willed. In this weather, it is good to sit by the window." What to do? Even if you want to take a breather in the morning air, you should wear thick clothes. If you catch a cold, it’s not you who will suffer, and I don’t know why you..."

"Okay, I can save it." Listening to Chan'er's chatter, Gu Xizhao was helpless, "I just feel a little chilly now, but other things are fine."

Cicada's face was still tense, she helped her take off her shoes, and let her get into the bed, "You cover yourself in the bed first, and this servant will go and prepare some ginger soup for you."

Gu Xizhao held her back, "You ask Liu Chun to go to Chengqian Palace to find out the news."

Chan'er pursed her lips, and then secretly looked at Gu Xizhao's expression, "Could it be that madam is worried about the emperor, so she didn't sleep all night."

Gu Xizhao did not deny it.

Chan'er didn't understand, "Since madam is so worried about the emperor, when Director Li came over yesterday..."

"You go." Gu Xizhao interrupted her, "Let Liu Chun avoid people, so as not to cause gossip at this juncture."

Cicada opened her mouth, finally nodded and went out.

Gu Xizhao stared in the direction of the door for a while, then turned over, looked at the pillow inside, reached out and hugged the pillow into her arms, buried her face in it, took a deep breath, and then closed it. Eyes refreshed.

If the little fool must make her queen, then she can't let her persist in vain.

At this juncture, as long as the little fool is unwilling to regress, then only she can give the little fool a step down.

Therefore, unless Cai Jun and other courtiers came to beg her, she could not go to Chengqian Palace.

As for the Chengqian Palace, it was also a sleepless night. Li Zhongxian and the others also stayed awake all night, guarding outside the bedroom and not daring to leave.

"Your majesty, I beg you..." Li Zhongxian's voice was completely hoarse, and his eyes were red. Huarong and Yunshang were able to restrain their emotions to persuade him at first, but now the two sisters also choked up as soon as they opened their mouths. Same, kneeling outside the bedroom, begging Zhao Sansi to open the door.

Duan Fei also came here to look at it a few times, but he didn't say a word. After handing over the duty at [-]:[-], he didn't go back to the classroom to rest, but went to the gate of the palace.

The gate of the palace opened at Maoshi, and there are ministers entering the palace one after another. After Duan Fei asked the guards guarding the gate, he waited on the side until Cai Jun and several other first-rank ministers came in, and then went up to meet them. Greetings.

After saying hello, Cai Jun looked left and right, and knew that he was here specially waiting for him. After greeting the ministers around him, he spontaneously followed him to the side, "I don't know that guard Duan is waiting here specially. What is the truth?"

Duan Fei was not surprised that he was so straight to the point, and led the people to a more secluded place, then bowed and said: "I have something important to tell the prime minister."

Cai Jun didn't answer immediately, but looked down at him after pondering for a moment, "If Guard Duan tells the truth about the emperor making Mrs. Gu his queen, that's all."
