Empress Dowager + Spoiler

These words were so thoughtful, he couldn't help but be moved. Even though they are slaves with the right master, they can still eat and drink spicy food. Their lives are better than some unfavored masters, but slaves You are a slave, others will praise you when they see you gain power, but in this deep palace, no one will really respect you.If these words were uttered by some unfavored concubines, Li Zhongxian would have listened as polite words, but when he heard them from this noble concubine Xi who never had to curry favor with anyone, it seemed a little more sincere.

While speaking, Li Zhongxian helped her to the Xinuang Pavilion. The weeping Zhao Sansi was still sitting on the chair and weeping, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and his voice was hoarse. Then wipe away the tears.

Zhao Sansi cried so much that he didn't hear anything outside the window, and Gu Xizhao didn't know they came in, but the little eunuch on the side was more discerning, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurried up to salute.

Hearing the little eunuch's voice of "Concubine Xi", Zhao Sansi took away her hand, looked up at Gu Xizhao, was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the chair with a swipe, rushed over to hug Gu Xizhao Weeping loudly: "Your...noble concubine, emperor...brother..."

She has been crying for so long, and hiccups as soon as she opens her mouth. The long hiccups are as if she can't breathe, which makes Gu Xizhao feel distressed when she hears it. On her back, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief in one hand: "Your Highness, don't cry, don't worry, speak slowly, I'm listening."

"Imperial Concubine..." Listening to her gentle words, Zhao Sansi's heart, which had been fluttering because of fear and nervousness, seemed to have finally come to fruition. He buried his head in her chest and burst into tears.

When the concubine mother died, she never cried like this; when the nanny died, she never cried like this; today, in this gentle and sweet embrace, she seems to want to hide the fear, grievance, and tears that have been hidden all these years It's like venting completely.

The hoarse crying was right next to her ears, it was hoarse and unpleasant, but Gu Xizhao didn't even frown. She understood the emotions in her crying, so she felt distressed instead.

"Mother..." Li Zhongxian looked at her and let the emperor's younger brother cry like this. He was a little anxious, and just about to beg her to persuade some people, Gu Xizhao hissed at him, and said with lips: "It's good to cry." ..."

Li Zhongxian moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything, he lowered his eyes and sighed, and called the palace servants inside to go out, leaving only Zhu'er waiting at the side.

Gu Xizhao didn't say anything, and after they left, she supported Zhao Sansi to sit on the couch, and patiently waited for her to cry out all the emotions in her heart, until Zhao Sansi's crying slowed down, she took the Wearing a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Your Highness, I'm not afraid."

Zhao Sansi was still unwilling to raise his head, and after a while, he choked and said, "I don't want my brother to die, and I don't want to be emperor..."

How can the world be as one wishes?Gu Xizhao sighed softly in her heart, but she also knew that the still ignorant emperor's younger brother would not listen to these reasons, so she rolled her eyes, pushed the person away a little, and lowered her head to meet her gaze. "Your Highness, do you trust me?"

Zhao Sansi's eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them, so he deliberately avoided her gaze, turned his head to one side, and hummed in a muffled voice.

"Since you believe me, then I will tell you today that you will be a wise king like your emperor brother in the future, and you will lead Dazhao to another and better prosperous age."

Zhao Sansi looked back at her abruptly, and she noticed that unlike the Concubine Xi who was full of golden jade hairpins, today she only used two golden hairpins to tie her hair up. It's very strange.

"I believe Your Highness. Does Your Highness not believe me?"

Zhao Sansi lowered his head, buttoned the eyeballs of the unicorn jade pendant hanging on his belt, and thought of what his brother said about his close relationship with the imperial concubine, feeling slightly disappointed and discouraged: "Concubine, please don't comfort me." , I know... I can't even match a single finger of my imperial brother..."

"Your imperial brother succeeded to the throne at the age of 24. At that time, the Qin family controlled the government. Your imperial brother was also frightened in the first two years of his succession. His highness has only turned fourteen this year. In comparison, it is normal for his highness to be afraid now. You Look, you are still ten years younger than your imperial brother, so you are very powerful, aren't you?"

After all, Gu Xizhao was stunned for a while, such petty flattering words came from her mouth.

Zhao Sansi didn't feel that she was trying to flatter her, but felt that the gentle concubine Xi in front of her was very gentle, which made her heart beat faster for no reason, and with a roll of her tongue, she asked without thinking:

"Will the noble concubine stay by my side all the time like she was with the emperor's brother?"

Chapter 20

"Will the imperial concubine stay by my side all the time like she was with the emperor's brother?"

Always by her side?

Always……

These words kept coming back to Gu Xizhao's mind, Zhao Sansi's stupidly swollen peach eyes were in her eyes, she was a little dazed, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to cover the expectation in these eyes, but she just raised her hand As soon as he got up, he was held in the hand.

"The concubine mother doesn't want me anymore, the nanny doesn't want me anymore, the emperor doesn't want me anymore, the concubine... the concubine can't let me go. I will always listen to the concubine, and I will always be good to the concubine. The brother said, I will be Emperor, the entire Dazhao is mine, I can enjoy all the good things, and I will give it to the noble concubine... okay?"

There is one thing I don't want to refuse.

Gu Xizhao swears, there is really only one point.

However, "Your brother is right, the whole Dazhao will be yours." Gu Xizhao broke away from her hand, raised her hand to cover her eyes, and wanted to smile, but she couldn't, so she had to give up. "His Royal Highness will be the people of Dazhao's support in the future."

The implication - not good.

Zhao Sansi bit her lip, her expression drooping, Gu Xizhao took away her hand, and looked out of the window. For a while, both of them were speechless, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Not long after, a bell rang outside suddenly, and the bell sounded dull like a mournful cry. Zhao Sansi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, trembled involuntarily when stimulated by the sudden bell.

Gu Xizhao hurriedly took her hand, and comforted her: "Your Highness is not afraid, this is the death knell." She paused for a moment, then continued to explain with downcast eyes, "The emperor's death, all temples and temples will strike [-] bells, and at this hour Yes, I must have received the letter."

Zhao Sansi nodded, tears fell down unconsciously again, she bit her lips and endured it, but the sound of the bell fell in her ears, and it seemed to be knocking on her heart, making her panic and afraid, "The imperial concubine..."

As a prince, she was wronged, wronged at birth, wronged when she grew up, and became an emperor in the future. She didn't know how many times she had to carefully endure the loneliness of being too cold at high places and the fear of being out of reach.From the bottom of her heart, Gu Xizhao hoped that the little prince in front of her would still be the one who would be satisfied after stealing a chicken in the imperial dining room.

"Your Highness." Gu Xizhao stood up, deliberately ignoring her panic, but stretched out her hand to her, "The death knell is ringing, the princes and ministers are probably all coming to the palace, I will take you to change into filial piety. "

Zhao Sansi looked at Ruyu's finger in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then put his hand in her palm, and followed her slowly out of Xinuang Pavilion.

The palace servants had already prepared the filial piety clothes, and Chan'er waited for her to change the clothes. When she came out, there was no white silk on her head, and Gu Xizhao didn't ask Chan'er to help. She took the white silk from the palace staff and helped her personally. She tied it between her forehead and brushed away the broken hair on her forehead, only then did she notice that there was a bump on the forehead, "How did this bag get up?"

"I fell." Zhao Sansi didn't lift her eyes, her hoarse voice was a bit weird and sharp, she cleared her throat with a cough, and said again in a low voice: "I fell on the steps in front of the hall."

"How do you all serve people?" Gu Xizhao was a little annoyed for no reason when she heard the words, she turned and pointed at Huarong who was serving close to her. I don't know Tu, but if His Highness has something good or bad, you can afford it..."

"Concubine, it doesn't hurt, I don't hurt, it's none of their business..."

Her words did not intend to add fuel to the flames, Gu Xizhao raised her hand and poked heavily on the big bag on her forehead, and when she heard Zhao Sansi bit her lip and groaned, she was angry and distressed, but more It's the anger that hates iron but not steel, not Zhao Sansi, but herself.

Zhao Sansi is ignorant and doesn't know Fengyue.But she understands, she understands the secret feelings behind her growing pity for the emperor's younger brother.It is because I understand that I am more and more annoyed by my irrepressible distress.

Gu Xizhao pinched her own palms, turned away from looking at Zhao Sansi, and ordered Chan'er to get medicated oil to apply on people with a sullen face, and then walked out with a suffocating breath.

Li Zhongxian had packed up his emotions and waited outside. When he saw Gu Xizhao came out, he hurried up and whispered, "Your Majesty, is your Highness feeling better? All the noble relatives and ministers of the clan have already entered the palace."
