Empress Dowager + Spoiler

The Empress Dowager and Zhao Jin were considered young couples. They loved each other when they got married. Now, they hate Zhao Jin more than they love each other. But what they hate Zhao Jin even more are these women who have never stopped. To her, the concubines in the harem are all The enemy is Gu Xizhao, and so is Concubine Yu.

"Did Concubine Yu stay here to watch Aijia's joke?"

Concubine Yu smiled, "They are all poor people, who sees whose jokes?"

The queen mother lowered her eyes, and snorted softly, "The Ai family doesn't understand that Concubine Yu is like this today."

"People who the Queen Mother doesn't like, I also don't like." Dowager Yu paused, and then took a look at the Queen Mother's expression before continuing: "Since we have people we don't like in common, we can naturally get along well."

After staying in the palace for so many years, the Empress Dowager naturally heard Concubine Yu's voice-over, "Concubine Yu wants to cooperate with me?"

Concubine Yu nodded and glanced around. The Empress Dowager understood and waved everyone away. Then Concubine Yu said in a low voice: "The emperor is young, and now he is in the period of filial piety. He will definitely not be able to get married within three months. We are the only ones in the harem. Your mother's Qin family doesn't have girls of the right age, but my Lin family does."

The queen mother remained calm, "The Ai family doesn't understand what you mean."

"The empress dowager is the emperor's concubine. As the saying goes, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You will be able to talk to the emperor in the future. The emperor will respect you for the sake of the late emperor. Now that there is no one in the harem, why don't the empress dowager take this opportunity to take the harem away?" When the power is taken over, I will definitely be there to help you. I just wait for the emperor to get married in the future, and the queen mother can say a few words for my little sister. If my little sister is lucky enough to be the queen, you will still be the most honorable person in the harem woman."

These words were passed on to Concubine Yu secretly by Uncle Anyang, who was Concubine Yu's grandfather.At first, she thought that her family would try every means to put pressure on the emperor and take the power of the harem into her own hands. After all, the queen mother is a sick child, but now that she heard her grandfather's plan, although she was not convinced, she could only do so after many considerations. Do.

One is that the empress dowager is the most just and righteous, and the courtiers are beyond reproach.The second is that this action is to secretly form an alliance with the Qin family. In the long run, their Lin family will benefit more.

Now that Zhao Jin died, the Empress Dowager didn't regard these harem powers as important anymore, but she was deflated by Gu Xizhao over and over again, and she couldn't hold back her breath.However, she didn't respond directly, "How did Concubine Yu know that the emperor will hand over the power of the harem to Ai's family?"

Concubine Yu: "As long as the Queen Mother is willing, there will be a courtier to write a letter tomorrow morning."

"When the first emperor was still there, he thought that Ai's family was in poor health and it was not suitable to work hard..."

"Now the emperor's harem is empty, there are no trivial matters, not to mention the assistance of the fourth concubine." Dowager Yu interrupted her.

The empress dowager lowered her eyes and didn't speak anymore. After a moment of silence, she called the maids to come in to see the guests off, "Concubine Yu, the emperor's temperament is not easy to control, let's see how we get out of today's trouble, you can come back another day .”

Concubine Yu cursed secretly in her heart, but on the face she responded respectfully, "I will resign."

At the same time, Mingxing Palace.

Gu Xizhao, who was walking behind, stopped Concubine Ning when she was about to return to the main hall, "Concubine Ning wait a moment."

Concubine Ning was not surprised, she turned her head and glanced at her, "I happen to have a few words to say to Madam Gu, Madam Gu will follow me."

When the other wives saw this, except Mrs. Qing who paused for a while, the others all tactfully bid farewell and went back to their respective halls.

"I know what Mrs. Gu wants to ask me." After entering the main hall, the maid next to Concubine Ning led her back. As soon as the hall became quiet, Concubine Ning spoke first, "I have been in the palace for so many years. , what I envy the most is Madam Gu's unrestrained and unrestrained, speaking for you in the Empress Dowager's Palace today.

Concubine Ning lowered her eyes, paused, and then knelt down.

"What is Concubine Ning doing?" Gu Xizhao did not go to pull her, and she was not surprised that Concubine Ning suddenly knelt down. This woman has never had anything to do with him, but today she is defending her everywhere. She must have something to ask for. of.

"I have something to ask you."

Gu Xizhao looked down at her, and thought about it carefully in her mind, but looking at the big and small things in the palace, the only one who can be related to Concubine Ning is... "Madam Qing?"

Today's Mrs. Qing is the noble Qing of the past.

"Madam Gu's thoughtfulness is exquisite, it's true." Concubine Ning took a deep breath, and she admired Gu Xizhao even more from the bottom of her heart, "I grew up with her since childhood, and we also entered the palace together. She did... such things, and I feel ashamed for her, but after all, sisters... I really can't bear it..."

"As long as she keeps herself safe and doesn't cause trouble again, I will definitely protect her from that matter, otherwise, I am afraid that these concubines in the harem will not end well..."

Concubine Ning covered her face and whimpered, "She...has a body."

Chapter 43

Gu Xizhao was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of Concubine Ning's words, her expression suddenly turned cold, she did not directly reply to Concubine Ning's words, but asked softly: "Does Concubine Ning know that Mrs. Qing once told the emperor What did you do?"

Concubine Ning's sobs stopped abruptly, and she looked up at her with a dazed and helpless expression, "Gu... what does Mrs. Gu mean by this?"

Gu Xizhao looked at her for a moment before lowering her eyes, "Concubine Ning regards people as sisters, but she may not treat you as a sister sincerely. Presumably she only told you one of the things, but didn't tell you. The person who bumped into her and other things in the imperial garden that day was actually the emperor."

Seeing Concubine Ning's whole body limp and kneeling down, Gu Xizhao turned her face away, and clenched her hands under the sleeves, "For me, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Mrs. Qing, together with her What a traitor, dare to send the emperor to a mass grave."

The voice was deliberately lowered, and because of the emotional tremor, it was a bit sharp, falling into the bottom of my heart, like ice slicking past, Concubine Ning trembled in shock, her lips trembled for a long time before she closed her eyes Dejectedly said: "I... She never... never told me about these things."

"The reason for keeping her alive is because the late emperor's body is still alive, and my reputation was tainted in the past. If it is rumored that Mrs. Qing is like this again... how will the world think of the late emperor?" Gu Xizhao sighed softly, turned around, "she It's someone from your palace. Concubine Ning, you are a smart person."

Concubine Ning shook her head, crawled over and hugged Gu Xizhao's leg, "Madam, please save her life... From now on, as long as you give orders, I will follow your arrangements to go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan. "

Gu Xizhao squatted down and looked at the tear-stained Concubine Ning. Who would have thought that such a dull Concubine Ning would have such a broken expression.

After a long time, she stretched out her hand to pull him up, and turned her back, "Concubine Ning, if you really ask me to save her life, first tell me the identity of your husband."

Concubine stealing|people, this is a royal scandal, if it spreads, not only Mrs. Qing will surely die, but the entire harem will be implicated. The first one to bear the brunt is Princess Ning, who is the head of the Ming Xing Palace, and Princess Ning's father is The governor of Liangjiang, she is also the apple of the eye of the family, and she cannot easily be offended in a position where the government is inherently unstable.

After much consideration, when Zhao Jin heard about this, she didn't deal with Mrs. Qing immediately, but asked Gu Xizhao to find out Mrs. Qing secretly first.It's a pity that before she could find out, that little fool made such a move privately and drove her into Yunyang Palace.

Concubine Ning covered her face and said nothing for a long time. Gu Xizhao's expression remained unchanged, and she looked back at her, "Concubine Ning, the late emperor did not let the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigate, but gave me full power over this matter, not for the sake of Madam Qing. , but because of you. I have always put this matter aside, until now, it is for the safety of these women in the entire harem. If this matter becomes serious, not only Mrs. Qing will die tomorrow, but we concubines will also be implicated."

Only Concubine Ning's low sobs were left in the hall. Gu Xizhao waited for a long time before she heard Concubine Ning's hoarse voice, "The second son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Ming."

Gu Xizhao's eyes turned cold, "Is this true?"

Concubine Ning nodded with tears in her eyes, "She admitted it to me herself, and I... have seen it too."

"Concubine Ning, you are so confused."

Concubine Ning was irrefutable.

Gu Xizhao turned around, stopped looking at her, and walked straight towards her.

If so, this matter needs to be investigated carefully again.Jiang Ming is a member of the bodyguard, and it is impossible for the person of the bodyguard not to recognize the prince's uniform on the little fool that day, so he intends to send him to a mass grave.

She was careless.

Zhao Sansi, who had long forgotten the events of that day, was not very happy to return to the Qian Palace to review the memorials after he came out of the Zhu Palace. He took Li Zhongxian around the harem for a long time before wiping his forehead. The thin sweat on the bed got on the chariot.

Seeing Li Zhongxian drooping his head all the way, looking unloved, Zhao Sansi, who had already exhausted himself, vaguely felt that he might have said the wrong thing again today, and then thought of facing the prime minister's cold face later , she was so guilty and short of breath, but then she thought that those women bullied the imperial concubine first, and she felt that she was doing the right thing, what's wrong with being partial, as long as the imperial concubine treats her so well, it is heartless if she is not partial.
