From Zhen Huan

After hearing this, Chenqie inevitably felt sad for her sister, wishing to share her worries, since she woke up from the dream, Chenqie stayed up all night, and finally asked Chenqie to think of a way, but she didn't know if it would work. "

After hearing this, Xuan Ling fell into deep thought, and asked after a long time, "I wonder what the queen has thought up?"

"The concubine is thinking, why don't I adopt a child from the royal family to my sister and let the concubine help to raise it, so my sister will not be considered childless. I don't know what the emperor thinks?" I said euphemistically. Come, lest Xuan Ling refuse.

"Inappropriate," Xuan Ling refused, "Wan Wan is the former empress with a noble status. How can she adopt the son of the clan, not to mention that doing so will confuse the blood of the royal family. If you have to adopt, it is better to adopt one of the princes." , that would be considered complete.”

I looked annoyed and said: "The concubine is not thinking carefully, but I don't know which prince the emperor wants to adopt?"

Xuan Ling thought for a while, and then said: "Yu Li's aptitude is dull, and she's too old. Yu Pei, Yu Han, and Yu Run are the right ages. Which one does the queen think is better?"

I pondered for a while before returning: "Concubine Zhen only has such a child. If my elder sister can't bear to separate their mother and child, Yu Han is the beloved son of Concubine Shu and the emperor. My elder sister can't bear it either, but Yu Run is the youngest. I have lost my mother and concubine again. If I can adopt my sister's name and get her blessing, it must be wonderful. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

Xuanling thought for a while, and felt that he was agreeable, but his answer was ambiguous: "Yurun is a good boy."

I smiled slightly and said: "The concubine will wait for the emperor's good news on my sister's behalf."

A few days later, Xuanling decreed that the fourth prince, Yurun, should be adopted under the name of Empress Zhu Rouze of Chunyuan, named "King of Chang'an", and he would be raised by the empress temporarily.

I took the child in Zhen Huan's hand, handed it to the nurse behind me and said, "Take good care of the child. If something happens to the fourth prince, I will not only let you off, but also your family members. Do you understand?" ?”

The wet nurse and all the palace servants knelt down on the ground and agreed repeatedly, so I waved off the palace servants and braced myself to face Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan waved back Jinxi and the others, and said to me: "Yurun is sister Mei's only child, the empress must take good care of her, don't disappoint the emperor's sincerity towards the former empress!"

It's a pity that I'm not the Zhu Yixiu who loves Xuanling so much. Hearing this, I was not only indifferent, but also laughed ironically: "Concubine Hui's only son, I will naturally take good care of it, so I won't bother Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu wants to take good care of Imperial Physician Wen." Explain, you clearly promised to take care of his and Concubine Hui's son, but in the end it was taken care of by Bengong! Do you feel that you have let down Shenmeizhuang's dying caregiver?"

Zhen Huan was horrified. With her wisdom, it is not difficult to see that I really know Yu Run's life experience, and I am not just being blind.

But even so, Zhen Huan still forced her composure and asked, "I don't know what your mother is saying?"

I smiled brighter, "Whose child was Yurun in the past, I can't control it, but in the future Yurun will only be my sister's child. Just like the pair of twins, Concubine Shu is very lucky. To be able to give birth to such a pair of Yuxue and lovely prince Di Ji with King Qinghe. You said how happy King Qinghe would be if he found out that these two lovely children were his own! It’s a pity that you are a heartless sister and kept hiding it. Now, if you insist on being the emperor's child, even this palace feels sorry for King Qinghe!"

"What exactly do you want?" Zhen Huan was almost numb from shock, but still insisted on asking.

"I don't want to do anything!" I looked at Zhen Huan and laughed wantonly, "It's what my sister wants! I am sorry for my sister, but my sister is really cruel, and she wants to kill me. How dare you let me go?" But I know that if I fight with you, it will only make Mrs. Zhuang Min cheaper. I will give you two choices now, or you will fight to the death with Bengong. Let it go, but you have to think clearly and don't kill King Qinghe and his two children. If you fake your death and go out of the palace, stay and fly with King Qinghe, your child will be sent to you in the future, so that you can A family reunion. I have been in the palace for many years, so it is not difficult to do this, as you know."

My foundation is not stable now, if I have other choices, I am not willing to conflict with Zhen Huan, lest Hu Yunrong, who wants to be a queen, will see me as a thorn in the side.

Zhen Huan also understands this, and even more understands that if there is a fight, I have Queen Chunyuan as my backing, and she will undoubtedly lose, so she can only ask: "How can you guarantee that you will treat me and Qing's children well?"

I chuckled lightly and said, "I can't guarantee it, but I want to tell you that Concubine Shu Gui was fond of the Six Palaces back then, and King Qinghe almost succeeded him as Datong. Do you think the Emperor will really rest assured of this younger brother? Will he really let him go?" Have you ever passed this younger brother! If you leave the palace, you can go far away with King Qinghe, and although you lose your noble status, at least you can save your life and stay together forever."

Zhen Huan was silent, Xuan Ling's suspiciousness was like a sharp sword, which could hurt someone at any time, she couldn't guarantee that Xuan Qing would not be hurt one day.

I didn't disturb Zhen Huan's contemplation, and drank tea slowly, knowing that her answer would not disappoint me.

Half a year later, Concubine Shu Zhen Huan passed away due to illness, and the power of the harem finally returned to my hands.But Xuanling lost his beloved concubine and suffered a great blow. Overnight, he aged a lot. In order to make Xuanling look better, I selected many beautiful and intelligent girls to accompany him during the draft.

Xuan Ling is intoxicated in the gentle township every day, and while I take care of the harem, I also help with some simple government affairs so that Xuan Ling can have more time for fun.

Later, in the Hehe invasion, King Qinghe led his troops to go out. In this cruel war, Xuanqing, the king of Qinghe who led the soldiers of the Great Zhou to victory, died because of the enemy's back arrow.

At the same time, in the harem, due to the poor care of the wet nurse, the two children left by Concubine Xianshu were hinted at by Zhuang Min's wife Hu Yunrong. The third prince Yuhan and Lingxi Diji died of smallpox due to infection.

Mrs. Zhuang Min's wife, Hu Yunrong, was stripped of her status by Xuan Ling for murdering the emperor's heir, and thrown into the cold palace.

After all these things were dealt with, several years passed, and Xuan Ling became more and more old.

I am already very proficient in handling government affairs, even compared to Xuan Ling. Although the ministers complained a lot, they had to compromise because Xuan Ling was addicted to pleasure.

Xuan Ling died very suddenly. At this time, except for Yu Li, the other two princes were still young. After some consideration, I let Yu Pei succeed me as the new emperor.Yu Li's qualifications are dull, and now that Da Zhou is facing a huge threat, he is not good enough to shoulder the responsibility of this country.Yurun's blood is impure, and I'm afraid it will cause Xiao Qiang's disaster in the future.On the contrary, under the upbringing of Concubine Zhen, Yu Pei is intelligent and courteous. I think after some teaching, he may not be able to become a responsible and wise king.

After Yupei succeeded to the throne, although I was the empress dowager, I was not the biological mother after all, so I moved to the palace with the former emperor's concubines, and started a leisurely life of playing mahjong and drinking tea.

20. Count out the limbo

"Empress Zhu's destiny is not blessed, she is flashy and unreal, and she is not suitable for the world. She is the younger sister of Empress Chunyuan. She has served in the palace for a long time. She is very fond of her old kindness. She is placed in Zhaoyang Hall. She must die. Concubine Shu photographed six Palace affairs, noble concubine, concubine De is in charge of the six palaces, hereby." [quoted from the original text]

Xuanling's will echoed in my ears. I looked at the deserted Zhaoyang Palace, and thought that this time it would be no different than when I was in Tangli Palace. At that time, there was still room for change between Xuanling and Xuanling, and I was pregnant and could be married. An opportunity for the two to reconcile.Zhu Yixiu killed Queen Chunyuan this time, which was much more serious than that time when Zhen Huan misrepresented Queen Chunyuan's old clothes.

One is murder, the other is wearing the wrong clothes, the latter will be forgiven by Xuan Ling, but the former Xuan Ling can't wait to kill and then quickly.

And the Queen Mother can't count on it either, maybe it was because Zhu Yixiu really got angry, the Queen Mother only asked Aunt Zhu Xi to beat up the House of Internal Affairs, the Imperial Dining Room and other places so that I would not be treated harshly, but she still refused to send someone to come over to have a look I, even if I want to use the Queen Mother to plan one or two things, it is impossible.

This time, I really can only stay in Zhaoyang Palace with peace of mind, bear the consequences, and taste the taste of failure.

At this time, with the support of the Empress Dowager, my life is not too difficult, not to mention that I do not have high material requirements. Three meals a day are delivered from the imperial dining room, and there are maids and eunuchs to serve, but I have no freedom.

All senior courtiers in Zhaoyang Palace were imprisoned and killed. The rest of the courtiers who escaped were mostly rough envoys or newcomers to the palace. They were quite afraid of me, the vicious empress who was detained. Even if I show gentleness and kindness, it will be considered as a pretense, which makes me a lot more depressed.

Jian Qiu committed suicide, Hui Chun and Xiu Xia were dealt with by Xuan Ling, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to.I stayed in Zhaoyang Palace all day, ate and slept, ate and read, read books, and practiced calligraphy. Over time, I felt that my thinking began to become sluggish.

So I made adjustments and changes to my current life. After I get up every day, wash and eat, I will take care of the courtyard. Zhaoyang Palace is now in the shape of a cold palace, and naturally there will be no more gardeners to maintain it.

I spent some money to ask the guards to help deliver some books and tools, and I spent all my morning time in the courtyard, pruning trees, fertilizing flowers and plants, weeding weeds, and weeding insects.After getting acquainted with it gradually, I specially led the little eunuchs to carve out an open space for a lot of seasonal vegetables.

Because following a deposed queen like me, the rest of the courtiers in the Zhaoyang Palace are very sad, lacking food and clothing, leftovers, and rotten food.
