Rebirth of the Phoenix

After the treasures were taken out, they were all transferred to the dark place. Zhang Xiu was at ease with Qiao Xun and would not doubt him.

Because of the big treason case of the original Marquis Wen, there was a lot of discussion in the capital. The emperor’s face has been wiped out after the queen’s pornographic painting was spread. He was arrested without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the capital became tense for a while, and no one dared to say anything.

But how can the words of the common people affect the superiors? The courtiers still have a seven-day dynasty, even though the emperor has not appeared in the early court for a long time. There is only one Jiangnan king left in the clan, and how can the Jiangnan king allow the emperor to govern and love the people personally? It's too late for him to rebel, so now the emperor is still immersed in the gentle village.

Concubine Zheng is very impatient. Now the emperor doesn't go to her place anymore. It just so happens that she is also tired of the emperor. She has been married to this man as a concubine for more than 20 years, but this man has not helped her upright until now. She also had a good impression and admiration for this person before, but these admiration were shattered by his desire. She stopped waiting for him, started not to take him too seriously, and was hurt and heartbroken. , but found the meaning of survival in the struggle with Concubine Liu, and felt what it means to be alive when the child was born, so she persisted until now. After defeating her old opponent, she ushered in a new opponent, but she no longer wanted to continue. She is tired of fighting, and she has been looking forward to it for more than 20 years, and it is time to help her son up.

The palace affairs are all in the hands of Concubine Zheng. Originally, Concubine Xiao wanted to take part, but was caught by Concubine Zheng's people and was cut off from the post of palace affairs. Concubine Xiao was also very unwilling, but suffered from not having enough. The only way is to lie dormant.

Recently, Concubine Xiao has been keenly aware that the atmosphere is different. Even though the emperor still comes to her palace once or twice a month, she still feels that something is wrong. A drop of liquid was dropped from the bottle into the cup, and she drank it in one gulp. Afterwards, she was extremely brave. Concubine Xiao felt frightened, and after that, Concubine Xiao asked someone to remove her brand. Whether it was conspiracy or death, Concubine Xiao But I dare not leave the emperor to stay with me anymore.

On the other hand, she also sensed it. Concubine Xiao is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a very smart person. She saw that the emperor had not come to court early, and there were complaints from inside and outside the court. She herself was framed by Concubine Zheng and slipped away. Only the third prince remained, and the atmosphere outside the Forbidden City seemed to have spread into the city. Concubine Xiao made up her mind immediately after seeing the emperor taking the medicine himself. There is a great chance that she will be buried with her or accompanied by the emperor who will become the Supreme Emperor in confinement until she dies, so she has to fend for herself, and her first thought is the person she once admired...

In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Yuan frowned, looking at the note in his hands, he was not a gossip, and he didn't think that his elder brother Zhang Xiu would have any affair with people in the palace, it was just the identity of this person Being so sensitive made him nervous, so he got up straight away, left work early, and went to Zhang's mansion with a note.

Zhang Xiu looked at the note, a little dazed, she had never met Concubine Xiao, why would Concubine Xiao send someone to pass the note to her, but... Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes, and thought of something.

"Brother, what does this person want from you? He won't harm you, right?" Xiao Yuan was a little nervous, he didn't dare to peek at the note, but he wanted to know gossip.

"You...you have children, and you still gossip like this." Zhang Xiu tapped Xiao Yuan's shoulder in a funny and angry way. "Don't worry, I won't be sorry for your sister-in-law. I will go with Qiao Xun when the time comes. If something goes wrong, we can get out as soon as possible with our efforts."

"That's good, that's good." After hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart was relieved, but he thought of something else, "By the way, I heard that I got a lot of money before, is it true?" It was too frustrating that he couldn't see it with his own eyes because of official business.

"Yeah." When mentioning this, Zhang Xiu smiled reluctantly, "It's just hard work for my cousin."

That day in the treasury, when they finished their excitement and began to move boxes, they found that Wen Pingting had passed out on the ground, her face was bloodless, and her body was icy cold. Doing is dead.

After being carried back to Zhang's mansion, Feng Yun'er was at a loss what to do, she went to ask her master Chenghua Imperial Physician to help, Chenghua Imperial Physician was also helpless, he twirled his beard, the fighting spirit was aroused in his eyes, he directly stayed The Zhang family vowed not to go home unless the man was cured.

Since then, Xuan Bin has been absent-minded, staying in Wen Pingting's room, and has not gone out for many days.

Hearing these words, Xiao Yuan's face froze, "Why... so many things happened?" He was just busy with his work during this period, why he seemed to have missed a lot of things, and he was not well.

The Forbidden City at night was originally a solemn place, but the singing all night in a certain place cast a layer of shadow on the Forbidden City. Concubine Xiao sneaked to a corner of the palace in her maid's clothes. When she looked up, she saw that person standing Under the tree, Lang Lang stared at her, she couldn't help but blushed like a young girl in her [-]th year of pregnancy, if the cloak in her hand didn't remind her of her identity, maybe she couldn't help but throw herself into him embraced.

"I have met Concubine Xiao." Zhang Xiu lowered her head and bowed her hands in salute.

"No, don't call me that, call me Jin'er." Xiao Jin'er seemed to be transported into an old dream by the voice, "Mr. Zhang, do you remember me? When I was walking on the bridge, suddenly the bridge collapsed , it was you who saved me..." Saying that, Xiao Jin'er took out the red cloth bag around her neck, and took out a piece of fabric, "This fabric is from your clothes back then, you...do you remember?"

Zhang Xiu looked at the material of the cloth, then looked at Concubine Xiao's expression, and knew in her heart that she is not the first brother, not to mention that she is a woman herself, so how could she not understand this, and she took a step back, "Miss Concubine Xiao It's the empress, but this minister is just a mere minister, I don't dare to advance to the empress, if the empress is fine, I will leave."

"Wait a minute." As soon as Zhang Xiu said that, Xiao Jin'er also regained her concubine demeanor, stuffed the clothes back into her bag, and put them back into her sleeves, "Zhang Xiu, I have something to do for you."

Zhang Xiu turned her head, saw Concubine Xiao's indifferent face, and thought to herself that this is Concubine Xiao's true face, how can a woman who has entered the palace have a blank sheet of paper, "All ears."

"I want to leave the Forbidden City alive." Xiao Jin'er's eyes burst out with infinite power. It's not that she doesn't want to compete with Concubine Zheng, but it's useless now. Concubine Zheng is powerful, and she must live to avenge her dead child , She always thought that she would not love that child, but it was not until the child was gone that she was heartbroken and realized how much she subconsciously loved her child. "In exchange, I will help you do something."

"Okay." Zhang Xiu agreed, she didn't look at this woman again, she was shocked by the madness in Concubine Xiao's eyes, but other than that, Zhang Xiu was already calculating how to use this woman.

Before Zhang Xiu could figure out the result, within three days, he received a message from the dark hall that the king of the south of the Yangtze River rebelled. Zhang Xiu thought about how to use Concubine Xiao, and she got up to find Xuan Bin, but only saw the mention of rebellion in the past|The rebellious Xuan Bin stared at the edge of Sleeping Beauty's bed in a daze at this moment, no matter what she said, Xuan Bin didn't respond, Zhang Xiu was also angry, at the critical moment He was too drunk because he lost his chain. During the meal, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say something. Unexpectedly, the old lady went to find Xuan Bin. She didn't know what she said, and Xuan Bin regained his energy and cheered up. .

"That's a good idea, let's do it like this." After hearing Zhang Xiu's plan, Xuan Bin nodded affirmatively, added some details, and let Zhang Xiu handle things by himself, while he walked back to Wen Ping Ting's room.

Zhang Xiu shook her head and sighed, now is not the time for children to love each other, the most important thing is that imperial decree.

Zhang Xiu asked Qiao Xun to enter the palace to look for Xiao Jin'er. Xiao Jin'er's face darkened when she saw that it wasn't Zhang Xiu who came, but after all, she still soaked in the palace for a long time. supplementary requirements.

"Since it is such a big matter, I must make a request. I want to marry into Zhang's mansion and become Zhang Xiu's wife." Because she was facing Zhang Xiu's "servant", Xiao Jin'er's attitude was so unreasonable. Call a cocky.

When Qiao Xun came back to report, his tone was full of contempt. He regarded Zhang Xiu as his master, and the master was rushing to that position. How could he let the master accept such a criticized woman, and this woman was so unreasonable? It's too shameless to say such a thing if you want to be in the main room.

Zhang Xiu directly popped a cup. She has never shy away from Feng Yuner, so Feng Yuner is listening to the side at the moment. Zhang Xiu is really angry. When this woman says it, it seems that they have something. The relationship is the same, it is as disgusting as eating a fly.

Feng Yun'er was also laughed out of anger, Xiao Jin'er, a woman who was so irritating no matter what life she was in, dared to rob Zhang Xiu from her?Yun'er narrowed her eyes, but after her anger passed, Yun'er took the initiative to caress the back of Zhang Xiu's hand, "Promise her."

"How could you agree to her?" Zhang Xiu turned her head angrily, and when she met Shang Yun'er's murderous smile, her aura suddenly weakened, "I understand." She calmed down, this is just a small detail, now Xiao Jin Er begged her to do something, even without Xiao Jiner, Zhang Xiu still has a solution, "Qiao Xun, you tell her, I agree, let her do it as soon as possible, and don't wait when it's too late."

Qiao Xun wanted to persuade her, but when he looked up and saw the expressions of the master and the son, he also understood that she was just a weak woman, and she really thought that she could turn the tide and become the concubine of the two dynasties.

Xiao Jin'er, who got Zhang Xiu's promise, was very happy, and quickly asked someone to put up her own sign, and hooked the emperor into her room. After a while, she whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and the next day , put on clothes that are conservative on the outside and sexy on the inside, and went to the emperor's study. After a few degrees of cloud|rain with the emperor in the study, while the emperor fell asleep, Xiao Jin'er spread out the imperial decree on the table, imitating the emperor's handwriting Wrote down the will, and finally stamped the jade seal.

Zhang Xiu, who received the imperial edict, knew what was going on. She accepted the imperial edict, bid farewell to her family, and embarked on the road to Jiangnan.

On the third day after Zhang Xiu left, the emperor spent the night with all the beauties and couldn't sleep.

The third prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and concubine Zheng as the empress dowager. When the first emperor passed away, no one thought about him. Instead, everyone felt "ah, he is finally dead" in their hearts. , the third prince couldn't wait to take the throne, because the mausoleum of the late emperor had not been completed, so he built a small mausoleum on the side of the mausoleum of the old emperor to house the late emperor. I know, this is impossible.

As expected, Concubine Zheng let all concubines be buried with her, except for a few who lived in secret, all others were buried with her. However, Xiao Jin'er mysteriously disappeared, which made Concubine Zheng furious, and people all over the capital were looking for someone.

So, where did Xiao Jiner go?On the day the emperor passed away, Xiao Jin'er followed Qiao Xun to the outside of the city, thinking that she was going to become Zhang Xiu's wife, but was stepped on the ground at the peak of the dream, Qiao Xun did not take her to see Zhang Xiu, but took her She became dumb, broke off her hands, and sold them to Ren Yazi, "From now on, you are free." After Qiao Xun finished speaking, he left without looking back.

But this is not the freedom she wants!Xiao Jin'er shouted in her heart, she wants to be rich, she wants to be glorious, she wants to be a queen, not reduced to such a land!But everything was out of her hands.

Zhang Xiu didn't ask Qiao Xun how to deal with Xiao Jin'er. In her heart, there was no need to pay attention to this woman, and anyone who wanted to hurt Yun'er should not think about it.
