Empress Dowager + Spoiler

After Gu Xizhao finished speaking, the boards outside also stopped, and the little eunuch came over and told, "Madam, there are still five boards to finish, two have died, and the other two may not be able to hold on..."

"That's it, just send someone to the mass grave quietly." Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, and after a while, her cold eyes swept across the concubines below one by one, and finally settled on Qing Guiren who was sitting in the corner, "Qing Guiren Do you have any impression of mass graves?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Qing. It is true that this Mr. Qing is too insignificant, and he always lowers his head, looking timid, so there are few people. Keep her in mind.

Qing Guiren noticed Gu Xizhao's sharp eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. His feet were weak and he subconsciously wanted to kneel down. Finally, he pinched his palms and calmed down, "My concubine... I don't understand what your empress means... "

"Don't understand?" Gu Xizhao snorted softly, "In the future, Mrs. Qing, don't go to the rockery in the Imperial Garden early in the morning..."

"Niang Niang..." Qing Guiren's body was still limp, he got off the chair, knelt down, and called out for help.

Everyone didn't understand why, but Gu Xizhao glanced at it, then looked away, stopped talking, and tilted his head to pick up the tea cup and took another sip. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Chan'er walking around anxiously outside the hall, She frowned slightly, froze for a moment, then signaled all the concubines to retreat, but gave her a meaningful look when Mrs. Qing got up.

Chan'er is impatient, before anyone left the main gate of Changning Palace, she entered the main hall, knelt down with a puff, and immediately burst into tears.

"Cicada, what's wrong with you?"

"Niang Niang..." As soon as Chan'er opened her mouth, she couldn't stop crying, and it took a long time to choke and say: "Eunuch Anshun from Chengqian Palace just sent a message, saying... about Emperor Daxing... the edict... ...let you...let you be buried with..."

She struggled to speak, and Gu Xizhao struggled to listen. She thought it was something serious happened to the little prince, but she was relieved after hearing that, but there was no change on her face, and she picked up the teacup again, "The emperor loves me!" I have been in the palace for many years, and now...it is appropriate for me to be buried with her."

"My lady..."

"My lady..."

Just as Chan'er yelled, Zhu'er hurried over outside and yelled, "Eunuch Li from Chengqian Palace is here, and he said he wants you to receive the order."

"Ma'am, don't go, Eunuch Li must have come to proclaim Emperor Daxing's will." Chan'er froze for a moment, then quickly crawled over and hugged Gu Xizhao's leg.

Zhu'er hadn't heard the news that Gu Xizhao was going to be buried with her, but seeing Cicada's mourning face, she was a little confused, "Eunuch Li came to announce the emperor's order."

When Chan'er heard the words "Emperor Taidi", she suddenly became full of confidence, and quickly got up, "Your Majesty treats Your Highness so well, His Highness will definitely save your Majesty..."

Gu Xizhao was stunned for no reason, waited for a long time, and was urged by Chan'er in every possible way, then got up and walked outside.

Chapter 22

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the emperor and the prince, the prince generally does not have the right to issue decrees, let alone dictate to the concubines in the emperor's harem. In the big family of the palace, the prince's position in the government Second only to the emperor, but respect to any concubine in the harem.

But right now, Zhao Sansi wanted to give an order, but no one in the palace dared to criticize her. Although she hadn't ascended the throne yet, in everyone's mind, she was already the new emperor.

Chan'er was thinking with all her heart and eyes that the emperor's younger brother was still a conscientious person, and she was afraid that she would miss the life-saving order if she was a step too late, and she didn't care about the distinction between master and servant at the moment, and felt that Gu Xizhao was walking too slowly , holding up her skirt, pulled Gu Xizhao and trotted outside.

Li Zhongxian was also anxious outside, thinking over and over with Zhao Sansi's order, some didn't know how to say it, and when he saw Gu Xizhao came out, he calmed down a little and went up to salute.

Gu Xizhao nodded her head as a signal, and seeing that he was anxious and hesitant, with a look of uneasiness, she also became anxious in her heart, "If you have something to say, father-in-law, you might as well speak up."

"Niang Niang..." Li Zhongxian grimaced, and felt that he was too out of control, pulled his sleeves to cover his face, restrained his emotions, and then said as usual: "Emperor Taidi has orders."

Gu Xizhao was stunned for a moment, and then he listened to the order, and Chan'er hurriedly pulled Zhu'er to kneel down, looking forward with joy to the imperial brother-in-law's order to save her noble concubine.

"Xi noble concubine Gu's family is in the prime of life, with a charming face and a graceful figure. When I saw this palace for the first time, I fell in love with it. I couldn't hold back the lust for a moment. I peeped at the noble concubine's jade body. I ruined the noble concubine's reputation and chastity. I am ashamed of the noble concubine. Ashamed of the great love for Emperor Daxing, I will apologize before the death, but I can't allow the unclean noble concubine to be buried with him. I have ruined Emperor Daxing's reputation as a saint, and now I order to abolish all the positions and regulations of the Gu family, and move to Yunyang Palace... ..."

Rao Gu Xizhao had some bad guesses in his heart, but after listening to Eunuch Li's words, he was stunned for a moment. After Li Zhongxian finished speaking, he still held his body stiffly until Eunuch Li went to help her with his own hands. She moved her lips, but couldn't make a sound for a long while.

"Your Majesty...take orders."

Cicada, who had been stunned for life, suddenly stood up, pushed Li Zhongxian away, and took care of Gu Xi behind her. She could hear every word Li Zhongxian said just now, but it was strung together. Why can't she understand? "An order? What order?"

"Cicada, don't be rude." Gu Xizhao didn't pay much attention to the palace, but she took care of the cicada who was close to her. This carefree maid was just like herself back then, to her , this little sparrow-like palace lady can be regarded as a bright spot in this well-behaved palace.She raised her voice and scolded, then looked at Li Zhongxian again, "The servant girl is in a hurry, it's because I don't control you well, I hope my father-in-law will be considerate."

It's okay if she didn't say the latter thing, but when she said this, Chan'er's eyes turned red suddenly, she didn't have the joyful face just now, tears fell down, she bit her lip, and stuck in place. talk to each other.

Seeing this, Li Zhongxian shook his head, "Your Majesty, you don't need to say much, this old servant understands Miss Chan'er's temperament best." After finishing speaking, he sighed softly, "I also ask your Majesty to clean up and move to Yunyang Palace this morning. "

Yunyang Palace is located in the northwest corner, and it is the most desolate and remote palace. Throughout the dynasties, I don't know how many concubines went crazy, hanged themselves or died of illness there. It is a well-known cold palace in the harem.

Gu Xizhao thought about thousands of reactions that the emperor's younger brother would have when she heard that Zhao Jin wanted her to be buried with her. She thought that the emperor's younger brother would cry to death and make a big disturbance in the entire government and the harem... In short, No matter how she acted coquettishly, she had thought of a way to deal with it, but she never thought that this cowardly little fool would do such an earth-shattering thing - to announce to the world that she had rǔ the emperor's favorite concubine's innocence.

She has stayed in this deep palace for five years, and she will soon be able to leave the palace...It is true that according to her ability, a mere cold palace can't trap her, but...

She is still the Concubine Xi who manages the Sixth Palace. If she disobeys the will of this cowardly emperor, she will not only slap herself in the face, but also openly disobey the new monarch, and will only invisibly fuel the arrogance of those who are interested , to give them an opportunity to suppress the new emperor.

The little fool said that being the emperor was exhausting, and she really couldn't bear to make trouble for her.

Zhao Sansi, good, you are fine!

After a long time, Gu Xizhao closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, "Concubine... But it's up to the emperor's younger brother to arrange."

"Niang Niang..." Chan'er knelt down and hugged Gu Xizhao's thigh, hating and anxious in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.She is curmudgeonly, but she is not stupid.Although the emperor's younger brother said in every word that she coveted her own imperial concubine, she had nothing to do with the imperial concubine.However, she is now the new emperor, the lord of the world, no matter if it is the ignorant people or the officials who know, they will only put this crime on their own master, and blame the noble concubine for being too good-looking to seduce the emperor's younger brother .It's been like this since ancient times. It's a foolishness, but in the end it will always be a disaster.

Rather than being thrown into the cold palace, she would rather her master be buried with dignity.Concubine Xi, who used to rule the six palaces in the past, once entered the cold palace, she didn't need others to sneer at her, she could already guess that her master's life in the cold palace would be worse than death in the future.

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, indifferent to Cicada's crying, accepted the order with a blank face, and ordered Li Zhongxian to be sent out of the palace.

As soon as Li Zhongxian left, all the palace people in Changle Palace knelt on the ground, covering their faces and weeping in a low voice, the atmosphere was gloomy and gloomy.The concubines of the Lenggong Palace who have been cut from their positions are no longer surrounded by palace people. These servants who are serving as servants in Changle Palace today will not know where they will be assigned tomorrow.

After a long time, Gu Xizhao raised her eyes, bent down and pulled Chan'er up herself, and swept around the crowd kneeling on the ground, "Eunuch Li just came to pass the order, everyone must have heard it. After all, master and servant, you Don't worry too much, I will ask Eunuch Li to take care of you and find a good place for everyone."
