[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

Xiao Huanyun will kill the Zhou family, this is only Zhaojun's speculation.After analyzing the current situation in a frame-by-case manner, the conclusion drawn can only be to kill the Zhou family to prevent Qihu and Daqi from being friendly.

Apart from killing the Zhou family, Xiao Huanyun had no choice but to take another path, which was to sow discord between Gao Yan and Concubine Zhou.Obviously the latter is much more difficult than the former, Xiao Huanyun is not a fool, she knows what is the fastest and most beneficial way.

But what is surprising is that this time, Xiao Huanyun did it very neatly, and the news of Zhou's death reached Zhaojun two days later in the middle of the night.

When the news reached Zhaoyang Hall, Zhaojun was already in a deep sleep, and was still a little dazed when Qing Qiang hurriedly woke him up wearing a coat.Qing Qiang didn't give her any time to react, she hurriedly dug her out of the bed, dressed her in a hurry, and dragged her all the way to Jiafu Hall.

The night wind whistled, and when it passed by Zhaojun's ears, there was a lot of noise in her ears, which disturbed her thoughts very much.It wasn't until she looked up that she could see the plaque of the Jiafu Palace that she realized that these noises that were haunting her thoughts were actually bursts of crying from inside the palace.

Zhaojun stood still at the door for a while, and there was a rush of footsteps behind him. When he turned his head, he saw Gao Yan who was rushing over. He was woken up in the middle of the night, with a sleepy face. I was taken aback for a while.

After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly bowed and said anxiously: "I heard that the imperial grandmother..."

Zhaojun raised his hand to interrupt him: "Ai's house has just arrived, so let's go in and have a look first."

Gao Yan regained his composure, stretched out his hand and pushed open the hall door, and stepped in. Zhaojun, supported by Qing Qiang, also entered the main hall.The candles in the hall were brightly lit, and when the door was pushed open, the night wind flowed into the room along with the sleeves, startling the candle shadows to shake.On the screen full of flowers, there are stacked appearances of Fudi's palace ladies. There are suppressed cries from the inner hall, and there seem to be a few hoarse and choked sobs.

Walking behind Gao Yan, Zhaojun acted as if he couldn't bear the blow and staggered when he walked, and was supported by Qing Qiang to barely fall down, causing Gao Yan to look back at her several times.

Gao Yan took a few steps around the screen, and with a "crash" he lifted the silk curtain to block the wind, and the dragon pattern incense with strong fragrance was burned in the inner room, and when the curtain was lifted, the fragrance collided with the tip of his nose.The light smoke in the room is continuous like a flying white dragon, slowly circling upwards, reaching the beams of the house.The maids in blue palace attire knelt on the ground, all of them looked very sad with tears on their faces.

There was a little maid lying beside the bed, crying very differently.Others were biting their embroidered handkerchiefs and pretending to cry, but she was really crying very sad, as if the person who died was her dearest relative.Because of how devoted she was to crying, she didn't even know that Gao Yan was standing behind her.

Gao Yan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and finally reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Lu Zhen, calm down."

Lu Zhen turned her head and glanced at him. It seemed that because of this glance, she finally couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart, and burst out suddenly: "My lord—please make the decision for the concubine—"

Lu Zhen said that since Concubine Zhou was poisoned by someone last time, the imperial doctor ordered that the concubine should never touch almonds again.But tonight, after taking a few sips of the concubine's sweet soup, she said she was sleepy. Lu Zhen helped her to bed and rested.Lu Zhen felt something was wrong, so she came over to have a look, only to find that Concubine Zhou had passed away!

She immediately went limp and sat on the ground for a long time before she could barely react.She felt strange, Concubine Zhou was usually in good health, how could she have died for no reason!So she thought of the bowl of sweet soup that she hadn't finished after two sips.The bowl of sweet soup was placed in the small kitchen, Lu Zhen brought it over and tasted it, unexpectedly there was a strong smell of almonds from it!

After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she couldn't make a sound, she kept crying, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for the concubine—"

Gao Yan was so helpless by her crying, he couldn't hug Lu Zhen under the eyes of everyone, he lifted his hands up, but he was in mid-air, not knowing what to do.

Zhaojun gave Qing Qiang a wink, and Qing Qiang knowingly helped her up on the road crying on the ground, and helped her out of the inner room while comforting her.Realizing that it was Qing Qiang who was comforting her, Lu Zhen didn't struggle, and very meekly let Qing Qiang help her out of the hall.

It wasn't until Lu Zhen walked away from the inner room that Zhaojun's face turned cold, and his cold gaze overwhelmed everyone's heads.After a long time, he suddenly slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "Who made that bowl of sweet soup!"

The maids who were crying and pretending to be crying all over the room stopped crying immediately, and looked at each other as if they didn't know.The surroundings fell into an unbearable silence for an instant, the fragrance of Longwenxiang was so thick and rich that it made one's brain ache, and the windows of the whole room were closed, which made people even more irritable and unbearable.Probably because of the influence of this fragrance, Gao Yan looked very irritable, and with a wave of his sleeve, he threw all the brand-new celadon tea sets on the table to the ground with a crackling sound.

Finally, a little maid in the crowd stood up cautiously and anxiously, and said in a low voice: "Yes, sister Cuizhu cooked it."

Gao Yan finally stopped walking back and forth, turned his head slightly, and said coldly: "Go and bring the green bamboo to me!"

What happened next was very clear. Cuizhu was quickly dragged in, her clothes were torn in several places, a bruise fell out on her forehead, and a deep cut was cut behind her palm. The mouth of the mouth was dripping blood on the ground, very embarrassed.

A group of people in the inner room moved into the main hall, Gao Yan sat on the golden couch in the main hall, and Zhao Jun chose a pear flower wooden chair beside him to sit down.

The guards who went to capture Cuizhu claimed that when they found Cuizhu, she was gesturing to her throat with a dagger, probably looking to die.

Lu Zhen, who had been soothed by Qing Qiang, was a little excited after seeing the green bamboo, and stepped forward, saying: "What kind of grudge does the concubine have with you? You want to poison the concubine!"

Cui Zhu sneered, and turned her head slowly to look at Lu Zhen, gnashing her teeth word by word: "I have no grudge against the empress dowager. Lu Zhen, I have grudge against you, you are the one who killed the empress dowager !"

Lu Zhen was taken aback.

Cui Zhu, who was released by the guards, said, "If you hadn't tried so hard to please the concubine, my elder sister would not have lost her favor, and she would not have jumped into the well to die! She is so proud It was you, and it was all your fault! You were superior to my sister, and I have nothing to say, but you were so heartless, forcing her to commit suicide in the end! It was you who killed the concubine, Lu Zhen, you'd better remember all of this for the rest of your life!" These venomous words popped out from between her teeth, and she almost finished speaking through gritting her teeth.Then I heard Qing Qiang exclaiming: "Stop her!"

But by the time everyone reacted, it was too late to stop it.

This delicate and pretty little girl was estimated to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. With hatred towards another girl, she bumped into the huge beams and pillars on the side of the hall resolutely and forcefully. .Like a blooming Buddha flower, the bright red blood gradually spread gorgeous soft leaves from her forehead. She was like a puppet whose strength was suddenly taken away. She slid down very slowly and finally collapsed. On the cold ground, it looks like a flower that has failed.

The skirt of the emerald green palace dress was scattered beside her, and the pair of almond eyes seemed to be full of resentment and could not be closed.

She wanted to seek death, and now she finally got her wish.

The maids in the palace screamed, and hurriedly huddled together and retreated, wanting to stay away from the corpse.In an instant, the whole hall fell into chaos. In the chaos, Lu Zhen stood there in a daze, staring at the green bamboo lying on the ground, and at the pool of bright red blood. , I can't come back to God for a long time.

The events of that night ended with the guarding of the guards. All the maids of the Jiafu Palace were imprisoned in the West Wing, even Lu Zhen was no exception.Then in the middle of the night, Qing Qiang found a posthumous edict when she was packing Zhou's belongings, which said how Lu Zhen treated her well. A grace, as appropriate, promoted to first-class maid.The rest of the court ladies in the Jiafu Palace were all brought from the Qingjing Palace back then. The servant master was unfaithful and waited for an opportunity to neglect the master, so the emperor asked the emperor to order them all to be buried with them.

After this night, the maids in the Jiafu Palace will definitely not be able to survive, and Zhao Jun will find a way to clean up the Jiafu Palace without Mrs. Zhou's request.

The affairs behind the Zhou family were cumbersome and unreasonable. After Zhaojun drove Gao Yan back to the Renshou Hall, he sat in the Jiafu Hall and was busy for half a night. He returned to the Zhaoyang Hall at dawn the next day.

Zhaojun pushed open the gate of Zhaoyang Hall in the hazy sunlight, and saw the person standing behind the light blue mist at Chenshi.The man probably heard the voice, then turned around, took two strides and stopped in front of Zhaojun, kneeling straight on the ground: "Your Majesty is wise, I have waited for so many days, and finally got what I want. .”

After finishing speaking, she pulled out a huge ring inlaid with gemstones of five different colors from her waist, handed it to Zhaojun, and said, "The concubine Zhou told Lu Zhen that after she left, she must give it to the backyard of the Qingjing Hall." I watered the golden osmanthus to loosen the soil, and the slaves felt suspicious. As a result, I dug along the golden osmanthus and found these things."

After Zhaojun took the ring, she took out another cloth bag from her bosom, opened it diagonally twice, and revealed a letter inside.

Looking at the letter, it was almost as expected by Zhao Jun. It meant to ask Lu Zhen for help, to hand over the ring in the cloth bag to Gao Zhan, the king of the mountain, and ask him to avenge her.

Because she wanted to ask Lu Zhen to take revenge, she tried her best to keep Lu Zhen in the will.

Zhaojun sneered: "As expected, it's exactly what Aijia thinks. With such a fierce temper, she will never let Aijia go like this."

Qing Qiang said: "Since my aunt already knew about it, why do you treat her so well?"

A thin piece of letter paper was pinched into a ball in Zhaojun's hands, and a smile rose from the corner of her eyes: "Aijia treats her well, and it's for the whole world to see."

The author has something to say:......Master Gu was ashamed to death, silently crawling away the code words.
