Empress and Empress

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Concubine Xian stood in the pavilion and looked at the lake in the distance. From time to time, birds flew over and disturbed the calm of the lake.The autumn wind was bleak, but she didn't feel the coolness.He just waited wholeheartedly for Zhang Duanran's result.

It would be best if he won, and if he lost, he would push everything to Zhang Duanran. Although Xia Zimo would definitely not believe it, she would not dare to do anything to herself.Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt much more at ease.

"Ma'am, it's not good!" Yan Fei walked in quickly. "The last general just heard from his subordinates that General Zhang was arrested by Xia Zimo."

Concubine Xian walked up to Yan Fei quickly, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?" Yan Fei lowered his head and said, "I don't know." He is not Concubine Xian's confidant, so naturally Concubine Xian would not tell him anything.At this time, it is natural to pretend that everything is not clear.

Concubine Xian walked a few steps in the pavilion, and said slowly, "Go and call Zhou Lang."

"Yes!" Yan Fei was delighted in his heart, bowed and retreated.As soon as he left the yard, he saw Yuan Nan.Yan Fei stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency is here?"

Yuan Nan nodded, "My lord wants to see you." A traitor is usually not reused, but Yan Fei is not, because he was not in the concubine Xian's camp from the beginning.That's why Yuan Nan and the others treated him kindly.

Yan Fei nodded, told a subordinate to go find Zhou Lang, and then left with Yuan Nan.Xia Zimo was chatting with Liang Ming, and Yan Fei understood in his heart that this was Xia Zimo's performance of accepting himself.This Liang Ming should be the same as himself, a member of Xia Zimo's family.

"My lord." Yan Fei said.He saluted Liang Ming again, "Master Liang." Liang Ming stood up and returned the salute.

Xia Zimo motioned him to sit down, and then said, "You have done a good job on this matter, the supervisor and the marshal are very satisfied." Yan Fei said, "This is just a meager effort, and everything depends on the master's planning." Concubine Xian Although he had long wanted to get rid of Xia Zimo, it was still Zhou Lang's suggestion for Zhang Duanran to ambush him.

Zhou Lang's suggestion was Yan Fei's suggestion when he was drinking with Yan Fei.Yan Fei never thought that it would go so smoothly, so he can only say that Concubine Xian and Zhang Duanran are really stupid.It can be seen that Xia Zimo did not regard these two people as opponents at all, it seemed that it was completely for entertainment.

Looking at Xia Zimo's expression, it seemed that he was not worried about the victory or defeat on the front line at all. Yan Fei couldn't help but asked, "My lord, I'm taking the liberty of lower officials. Although the dog army was defeated, the main force is still there. Does the marshal have a solution?"

Xia Zimo smiled and said, "Of course there is, you are ready to go. You should be able to go to Heifeng City in half a month. As for Concubine Xian—" Concubine Xian has no use at this time.

Yan Fei understood, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."

Zhou Lang felt a little uneasy when he received the concubine Xian's call.Naturally, he already knew about Zhang Duanran, and he wondered if Concubine Xian would be angry.After thinking about it, Yan Fei told himself this idea, and he can pull Yan Fei into the water at that time.While thinking, Zhou Lang walked towards the Huxin Pavilion where Concubine Xian was.

Who knows that halfway through the journey, he saw Yuan Bei leading a dozen men in black blocking his way. "General Zhou, Zhang Duanran's rebellion is related to you according to his confession. He came to arrest you and interrogate you under the order of the Superintendent Army."

"You ---" Zhou Lang was furious, he was the commander of the Imperial Army ordered by the emperor, how could he know that Xia Zimo didn't take him seriously.After Yuan Bei finished speaking, the man in black behind her stepped forward and captured Zhou Lang with a few tricks.Yuan Bei said coldly, "Take it away."

"I am the commander of the imperial guards personally appointed by the emperor, you have no right--" Yuan Bei sneered at this point, took the silk handed over by the man in black, and blocked Zhou Lang's mouth.Zhou Lang could only make a whimpering sound.

Yuan Bei deliberately walked away from crowded places, I believe Concubine Xian will find out soon.

Zhou Lang never came, Concubine Xian was a little furious, and then someone told her that Zhou Lang was taken away by Xia Zimo's men.Concubine Xian was furious, and threw the jade roller in her hand to the ground, "Xia Zimo, you are so courageous. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Come here, and Ben Gong will find someone important in Xia Zimo."

Cui'er and all the servants knelt outside the pavilion, fearing that Concubine Xian would vent her anger on herself.

It is said that Concubine Xian went to Xia Zimo angrily.Prefect Liang Mingdao Xia Zimo has returned to the barracks.Concubine Xian was in a hurry and asked Yan Fei to gather all the forbidden troops and go to the barracks to ask for someone.

From the prefect's mansion to the military camp, you have to pass through half of Youzhou City. The concubine Xian sat in a sedan chair and watched the people of Youzhou gather together in twos and threes to discuss something.Words like "rebellion" and "decapitation" reached her ears from time to time.

When Concubine Xian arrived at the barracks, her anger had subsided a lot, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.But they have already come with great fanfare, and they can't leave at this time.The most important thing is that she is not afraid that Xia Zimo will know that she is behind, but she is afraid that He Di will know.

If He Di knew, not only himself, but the entire Yu family would be implicated.Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt a little regretful.All these years, her life under Li Guifei has not been very good.Depressed.Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye, two newcomers to the palace, are more favored by Emperor He than themselves.

Coming to Youzhou also meant to compete with Xia Zimo and others, but unexpectedly it turned out like this.She suddenly became terrified, she wouldn't be the second concubine De, could she?

Bite the bullet and walked into the barracks, this was her first time in the barracks.The soldiers are basically men, and there are also some women, wearing soft armor and carrying bows and arrows.He didn't salute her when he saw her.

When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Xia Zimo was writing a memorial in the tent.Seeing Concubine Xian, she smiled and said, "Madam is here?" Concubine Xian said, "I heard that my sister has captured Zhou Lang."

Xia Zimo put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked to Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian looked at her.She had paid attention to Xia Zimo when she first entered the palace. At that time, it could be seen that she was not keen on power, but she was very favored.Later Xia Zimo joined the queen's family, and Concubine Xian was a little surprised.

At that time Xia Zimo was just a little beauty, and until now he is just a talent.But now, the pressure that this talented person puts on him is far greater than Concubine Li Gui and the Queen.This pressure is not only from the guards with swords behind her, but also from Xia Zimo himself.

Xia Zimo waved his hand to make Yuan Bei and others retreat, and the people behind Concubine Xian were also kicked out of the big tent, leaving only the two of them in the tent.

"Zhou Lang intends to rebel. As a supervising army, I can only act in accordance with military law. If the matter is found out, if General Zhou did not participate, Zimo must personally apologize to General Zhou by serving tea. Now I can only be wronged for a few days. "Xia Zimo laughed.She could clearly see the fear in Concubine Xian's eyes.But she can't be soft, if she is soft, she will die.

Concubine Xian could clearly see the murderous intent in Xia Zimo's eyes. What she found out was only to ask Zhou Lang and Zhang Duanran to plead guilty, which showed that she ordered everything.When the time comes, the evidence will be conclusive, and she will undoubtedly die.

"Xia Zimo, you can't do this." Concubine Xian said, "You are slandering, the emperor will not believe it."

"Framed?" Xia Zimo sneered, "How many people in Youzhou saw the process of Zhang Duanran's rebellion? Even if the emperor sent someone to investigate, I have enough evidence."

Concubine Xian said angrily, "Xia Zimo, don't be complacent. I already know that you and Yuan Xingye killed Concubine De because of your friendship, and I also know that Cheng Jing took you away when he defected to the enemy. I wrote all these to Your Majesty, even if I die, you will not be able to protect yourself."

Xia Zimo raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't care at all.Returning to his seat, he took a few sips from the teacup, and said lightly, "This frightening incense was specially sent by Hoshino, please try it if you want."

Concubine Xian stepped forward and sneered, "What, are you scared? Just beg me if you're afraid."

Xia Zimo sneered, took out a few memorials from the side, and threw them to Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian opened it suspiciously, and it turned out that they were all memorials written by her.Could it be that none of these memorials were sent out of Youzhou---

Concubine Xian only felt cold all over, "You stole the memorial, this---this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Deceive the emperor, the emperor is not in Youzhou, the emperor does not know. Where does the crime of deceiving the emperor come from? Don't you think the same, madam?" Xia Zimo sneered.

Concubine Xian looked at the memorials, she wrote a lot, only a few of them are not here, most of the recent memorials are there, only a few of the memorials are there, probably sent to Chang'an.

"The emperor didn't see it, it doesn't matter. I --- the palace returned it to the imperial concubine and empress." Concubine Xian cheered up. She gave it to Concubine Li and did not go to the station where the memorial was delivered, because she was afraid of being discovered by the emperor.I thought I could save my life at this time.

"Concubine Li?" Xia Zimo looked a little surprised.Concubine Xian only felt that the three souls and seven souls that had been scattered had returned. "That's right." She clenched her fists and found that her palms were covered with cold sweat.

Xia Zimo looked at the concubine Xian, and suddenly laughed, "As the fourth concubine, the empress should often embarrass the concubines below."

Concubine Xian was taken aback, not knowing why Xia Zimo said this, she suddenly thought that when Yuan Xingye was in Concubine Li Gui's line, she said a lot of bad things about Concubine Li Gui.And he never gave Yuan Xingye a good face.He even signaled the people below to oppose Yuan Xingye.

Just because of He Di's favor, they were not too aboveboard.Yuan Xingye didn't care about these things, but Xia Zimo knew and remembered them all.

After speaking, Xia Zimo slowly took out a letter.She said softly, "Sister said, but this letter." Concubine Xian snatched the letter from Xia Zimo's hand, a little in disbelief.

"This -- why is this in your hands." The letter was obviously handed over to Zhou Lang, and Zhou Lang was asked to deliver it to a secret post.Could it be that Zhou Lang---

"General Zhou didn't betray my sister. It was just to prevent Quan Rong from contacting the traitors in the court. I have to read all the letters near Youzhou. I didn't expect my sister's letter to be inside." Xianfei looked at it in disbelief. Xia Zimo, Xia Zimo's smile magnified infinitely in her eyes.

"you---"

"I have to thank my sister for the Cheng family's affairs," Xia Zimo said.

Concubine Xian immediately understood that Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye had never told Emperor He that Cheng Jing's betrayal was not to cover up Xia Zimo's capture, but to let her speak out.In order to take off her family.Otherwise, Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye could stop her memorial.

"You---you femme fatale woman, what on earth do you want?" Concubine Xian screamed.

Xia Zimo raised his pen, "Then please ask my sister to stay in the barracks for a few more days."

The others were waiting for the two outside the military tent. During this period, they heard the scream of Concubine Xian. The imperial guards who were guarding wanted to rush in, but they were stopped by Xia Zimo's guards.Then everyone saw Concubine Xian coming out with a pale face, and ordered to live in the barracks temporarily.
