Empress Dowager + Spoiler

After a while, he looked at her nervous peach eyes and nodded: "Yes."

"I don't want anyone." Zhao Sansi said, and knelt down with a "plop", "The emperor wants a noble concubine. If the emperor agrees to the younger brother, I, I will agree to the request of the emperor."

Zhao Jin blinked, and was taken aback by Zhao Sansi's shocking words. He never thought that things would turn around here and turn into a dead end.

After a long time, Zhao Jin said with difficulty: "Do you like imperial concubines?"

Zhao Sansi was ignorant, she probably understood that Zhao Jin's love had other meanings, but she couldn't figure out what the meaning was, her mind was full of the words that the emperor wanted to let the beautiful and kind-hearted concubine be buried with her, she panicked, She just gritted her teeth and nodded.

Zhao Jin closed her eyes and recalled the scene when the two of them met for the first time. It is true that if the Concubine Xi is willing to stay in the palace, Zhao Jin does not mind giving up her titular concubine to herself. His younger brother, after all, in the previous dynasty, his son succeeded to my concubine, and this imperial concubine Xi has a lot of scheming in the city, so if he is willing to help his younger brother, he thinks it is a good plan.

However, he has been selfishly trapping him for five years, and the matter of escaping from this huge palace in the name of being buried with him was proposed by the other party himself. Obviously, she is not attached to the fame and fortune of this deep palace. With her powerful temperament, Once it was known that he was using her again in the end, it might turn the world upside down without hesitation.

After a long time, Zhao Jin let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Sansi who was still kneeling on the ground, "I have a deep affection for the noble concubine, but today the emperor uses this to blackmail me..."

"I'm not trying to blackmail the emperor." Zhao Sansi quickly shook his head, "It's just...it's just that the noble concubine is smart and capable, beautiful and kind-hearted. I...I like it too..."

Zhao Jin looked down at her with a stern face, "I can promise you. However, I will never personally issue an edict to let the noble concubine become your concubine. If you want to stop the courtiers and common people, you must Figure it out for yourself."

Zhao Sansi was terrified, "This, this is natural." Seeing that Zhao Jin stopped talking, she thought of his words "I have very deep feelings for the imperial concubine", and cautiously promised: "I...I will definitely I won't let people bully the noble concubine and make the noble concubine feel wronged."

Zhao Jin looked at her useless appearance, raised her nose, and snorted, "You can keep her." As for a woman who has the ability to be smart, it's fine if she doesn't bully others.

Zhao Sansi pursed her lower lip, worrying that Zhao Jin's words meant that Concubine Xi had a deep affection for her royal brother, and she was afraid that she would not want to commit suicide because of her brother's collapse. Unhappy, "I...I will find a way."

Zhao Jin snorted at her, the matter of today is settled, he is too lazy to waste time here with this silly brother, and after admonishing her to work hard in the future, let her quit first, he still has big I have to explain my last words to the prime minister and Tai Tuo, and I have to reconsider the matter of Concubine Xi.

It wasn't until he was sent out of the Chengqian Palace that Zhao Sansi realized what he had just said to her imperial brother in the palace, and his heart suddenly became mixed, feeling melancholy for herself, that she had made an agreement with her imperial brother in such a muddle-headed way. Well, I really want to be that exhausted emperor in the future.

However, thinking that she saved the life of the beautiful and kind-hearted Concubine Xi, she felt that the pain was worth it, especially in the future when she could keep the concubine by her side in a fair and honest manner, she felt shamefully happy.

As for the other party, who didn't know anything about this matter, she was summoned by Zhao Jin to Chengqian Palace in the evening. On the way there, she was still thinking that if Zhao Jin couldn't die for a while, she would find some serious illness. It's time to pick the pick first.The main reason is that the emperor's younger brother in Zhaohe Palace is becoming more and more dependent on her, and she herself sees that this is not going to work. This time she acts like a baby and spreads it on her heart, making her worry all day long and worrying about others day and night. It's a good sign, it's better to run away quickly.

However, when she arrived at Chengqian Palace, when she saw Zhao Jin's dead face, it was not she who cursed him, but the emperor in front of her. I am afraid that the emperor in front of her is really dying. I felt a bit of emotion about the impermanence of life, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely dull, and after a long while, Zhao Jin on the bed opened his eyes, propped himself up and tried to sit up, Gu Xizhao helped him with great insight.

"Azhao, you're here." The imperial physician came to see him again in the afternoon, and now the medicine stone is useless, and he can only rely on ginseng soup to hang his life. Zhao Jin can see it, seeing Gu Xizhao's face is somber, and smiled instead, " Didn't I tell you a long time ago that this will happen sooner or later, why are you still not ready?"

Gu Xizhao didn't answer, and gave him the ginseng tea that was on the side.

She didn't answer, Zhao Jin also suppressed her smile, "Azhao, are you tired of living in the palace for the past five years?"

Gu Xizhao glanced at him with a smile, and changed the subject, "The second prince started late, and his aptitude is not good after all. In the past few days, she has complained to me a lot. You woke up. If you really give her the seat, I'm afraid she won't be able to take it anymore, and she won't do it again, can you rest assured?"

Zhao Jin lowered her eyes. After Zhao Sansi left in the morning, he asked Li Zhongxian a lot about what happened when he was unconscious. The story of Zhao Sansi hiding under the bed that day naturally reached his ears. Open your mouth, you are concerned about your own imperial brother's affairs, so your mind is very delicate.

"What does Concubine Xi think of the younger brother?"

The question was inexplicable, Gu Xizhao tilted her head and looked at him, "Does the emperor want me to tell the truth, or lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"He has a good temper, but it's a pity that he is not made to be an emperor." Gu Xizhao said, and sighed subconsciously, "If Cai Jun and others don't have two hearts, the prosperity you have worked so hard to create can probably be achieved. Keep going, if... her temperament is too soft, it will be really difficult for her to be this person."

"Azhao is very considerate to my younger brother."

Zhao Jin said this casually, but Gu Xizhao heard a meaning for no reason. She was a little annoyed, but she smiled on her face, pretending to be very understated: "Since the second prince showed up, I was the one who took care of him. , this temper is naturally better than yours."

Zhao Jin was noncommittal, glanced at her, and after circling in his heart for a long time, finally decided not to ask, but asked: "After leaving the palace, where is Ah Zhao going?"

"From now on, let the birds fly in the sky, so it's natural to go to the place you want to go." Speaking of the plan after leaving the palace, Gu Xizhao looked yearning, "The good skills taught by the master are buried in this deep palace, maybe I can still go Go to the border and follow my brother to gallop on the battlefield."

Gu Xizhao is the daughter of Changping Marquis Guzheng. Because she was born weak and unable to support herself, she listened to Taoist priests and took care of her in Yunsong Taoist Temple. She didn't know her life experience until she was 14 years old. She returned to the Gu family to recognize her ancestors. Her brother is General Zhenyuan Gu Feiyang.

The Gu family is loyal and the most proud, because there is a favorite concubine in the family. In order to avoid others from slandering and forming a party for personal gain, the whole family went directly to the northwest frontier and stationed at the border.Counting it, Gu Xizhao hasn't seen her father and brother for three years, but she has followed Daoist Yunsong since she was a child, and she doesn't have a deep affection for her family.

"If you don't mention your elder brother, I almost forget that you are still the Gu family." Talking about the past personnel affairs, Zhao Jin couldn't help but take a serious look at Gu Xizhao again. , her skin was firm, and she was a little more mature than the little girl in my memory who provoked her with words. She was pampered in this deep palace, and her gestures were more elegant and generous.

"If I don't mention it, I've forgotten it myself." Gu Xizhao frowned distressedly, "Although my father and brother are proud, since I became your domineering concubine Xi, they have not been in contact with me, but if Knowing that you are dead, you still drag me to be buried with you, tsk..."

Zhao Jin thought about it, "So, do you want Concubine Xi to spend her old age in this deep palace? I heard from Li Zhongxian that the emperor listens to you very much, and I will definitely treat you badly after thinking about it..."

"Don't, don't, I don't want to waste my good youth on these high walls and red tiles." Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xizhao interrupted him, "Don't worry, after leaving the palace, I will definitely go and say hello to them first."

Zhao Jin lowered her eyes, slightly disappointed, but didn't say much, anyway, the two of them had a brother-sister friendship of the same school for two years, and he knew her temperament very well, if she didn't stay willingly, no one would be able to keep her she.

"Since you have made a decision, I don't need to say anything." After pondering for a moment, Zhao Jin sighed, got up again and took out a token from the hidden compartment inside the dragon couch and handed it to her: "I also know to hand over the throne to my younger brother It's too hasty. Even though we have made perfect arrangements, there are still many unforeseen accidents. This is the order of the three thousand hidden guards. Please transfer it to your elder brother. In the future, the emperor's younger brother will be in charge. , and handing it over to her, it is the last life-saving talisman left to her by my elder brother, even if the prime minister has a different heart in the future, at least her life can be saved."
