Xie Xiang

Little Gong'e could only shake her head, obviously frightened.

The Queen Mother also knew that there was probably nothing to ask at this time, so she simply took the green bamboo and left.

Lu Zhu followed behind the Queen Mother, wiping away tears all the way.She was crying, but she didn't dare to cry loudly, choking miserably.The queen mother walked in front, and she didn't turn around to ask a question, nor did she comfort her.

When I got on the car, the wheels rolled and drove towards Nagato Palace, the Empress Dowager said calmly: "Stop."

Green Bamboo immediately stopped crying, but the tears still couldn't stop, and the sobbing couldn't stop.The queen mother looked at her and said, "Undress."

Green Bamboo opened his eyes wide in horror and remained motionless.

The Queen Mother frowned, and said coldly: "You didn't follow orders?"

Green Bamboo shook his head again and again.As soon as she entered the palace, she was the empress dowager's servant, and she always obeyed her orders. Later, the empress dowager lost her power and went to Nagato Palace. She beamed with joy.Hearing that the Queen Mother seemed to be angry, Lu Zhu didn't dare to hesitate, and lowered her head to untie her belt.

Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were also in a mess. After a short while, she untied her coat and took off her coat. Inside was a light pink coat. She was crying and trembling as she went to untie the coat. It was also unbuttoned, revealing the well-proportioned and clean shoulders, the thin collarbone, and a small section of red apron underneath, which barely covered the chest, revealing the delicate and fair skin underneath.

The Empress Dowager was worried that she would be stupid, so instead of asking her, it would be better to see it herself, but she didn't want her to be so elegant under her clothes.

"Do you still want to solve it?" Lu Zhu asked in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager's gaze gradually turned deep, she moved away from her chest, and looked into her eyes, which were red and full of tears, drooping slightly, not daring to look at her.The Queen Mother asked in a cold voice, "Where did she touch you?"

Lu Zhu said: "Your Majesty didn't touch me, she, she kicked me out." She was carried out, and those eunuchs who carried her looked at her with unbearable eyes, and regarded her as a lowly person .It's just that she was someone who had stayed in the emperor's bedroom, and the eunuchs didn't dare to speak out, let alone touch a hair of her, and they only locked her in a dark room.

But for Green Bamboo, it was enough to scare her.Her eyes were red, tears welled up again, she looked at the queen mother with grievances, and said, "It's okay, it's a good thing you came to save me." Otherwise, what should she do, they will definitely bully her.

The little Gong'e was born delicate and beautiful, and when she cried, she became even weaker and helpless, which made people love and pity her.No matter how hard-hearted the mother is, she can't help being soft, not to mention that she treats her differently.To her, Lu Zhu was no longer a humble palace official.They get along day and night, and they have never been separated for a day for many years.She didn't come back yesterday, and the Empress Dowager stayed up all night and was worried about the whole night. This morning, when someone came back to report, she was very anxious. She walked out of the Nagato Palace where she hadn't stepped out since she entered, and rushed to the important person without stopping.

Fortunately, although the little Gong'e was frightened, she was not injured.

The Empress Dowager rejoiced in her heart, but her face didn't soften at all, she raised her hand to pinch Lu Zhu's chin, making her look up.

Green Bamboo was startled, but did not dare to struggle, and was forced to look up.

The Queen Mother straightened up, leaned forward, and approached.Green Bamboo was a little scared, but she didn't dare to back away, she looked at her with trembling tears.The Queen Mother whispered: "Then where did she see you?" She pressed her thumb against her lower lip as she spoke, and asked, "Have you seen this place before?"

Green Bamboo nodded timidly.

The Empress Dowager shifted her eyes down to her collarbone. Lu Zhu felt that the Empress Dowager's eyes were strange, and whenever she saw them, she felt hot.

"What about here? Have you ever seen it?"

Lu Zhu still nodded, and said in a low voice: "No more." She covered the quilt to cover everything underneath.

The queen mother was obviously relieved, and Lu Zhu was also relieved when seeing this, but the next moment, the queen mother lowered her head and kissed her neck directly, and Lu Zhu was forced to raise her head, and her whole body became stiff.The empress dowager's lips were soft and moist, and every part of the kiss was trembling.Luzhu's eyes widened, as if frozen.

"You are mine." The queen mother said, pushing down the green bamboo and kissing her neck.

Green Bamboo didn't dare to move, and didn't dare to speak.

The queen mother paused, raised her head, and looked over coldly.Green Bamboo met her gaze, she was startled, and hurriedly said: "The maidservant belongs to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother just smiled.

After the Empress Dowager left, Liu Zao stayed in the Proclamation Hall, waiting for Xie Yi to come, and he didn't want to send the person who was sent to summon him to rush back, and said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is on leave."

Are you on leave?Liu Zao was taken aback, and asked, "Where did you go?"

The person who went to replied: "The prime minister only said that there is something at home, and he will take half a day off."

Liu Zao is very clever, thinking of reading the letter yesterday, he knew that the reason for thanking Xiang's leave is probably related to his mother.She said lightly: "Understood." It made people retreat.

After confirming her status, Liu Zao wanted to see Xie Yi very much, so she walked back and forth in the hall several times and said loudly, "Change clothes."

She is going out of the palace to see Prime Minister Xie.

The palace people who specialize in crown clothes will soon offer the robes.Liu Zao usually doesn't pay much attention to clothing, she is young, in order to convince the public, but also to appear calm and majestic, she mostly wears dark robes.This time, it was also a black robe.

Liu Zao stretched her arms and was about to order someone to change her clothes when suddenly, she thought of something, stared at the robe for a while, and said, "Change into a brightly colored one."

The palace servants immediately changed into an apricot-colored robe and put it on, paired with a lotus-colored cloak, very youthful and youthful, which suited her age very well.Liu Zao took off the sachet first, put it aside, and then changed his clothes.Her skin was more than snow, her face was delicate and bright, and because of her growing majesty, an indescribable aura was added to that beauty, every look in her eyes, and the corners of her lips all carried a thrilling charm.

But as soon as she thought of Xie Yi, her demeanor softened, she was not so heavy and composed, with a little vivacity that only young people had, and she appeared much more lively.

She looked at herself in front of the bronze mirror, and felt that one of the hairs that had just been brushed was messed up, so she called the palace lady to comb it for her again, replaced the jade crown, and looked in the mirror again, her temperament became warmer, Just like the graceful and graceful Nanzhu, it is elegant and handsome.Only then did Liu Zao feel a little satisfied, and he put the sachet back on his waist with his own hands, and carefully arranged the skirt and cuffs, taking care of himself meticulously.

Liu Zao rode a horse and walked out of the palace gate.The old lady was entering Xie Yi's study.

Xie Yi's return home today is to send her away from Beijing.It's just that the relationship between the two of them has been wiped away by the long years and countless incidents in recent days.It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is just staying in the study, waiting for someone to report that the old lady has left the house.

I don't want her to come.

Xie Yi held a pen in her hand and looked up at her.

The old lady seemed puzzled, and looked at her suspiciously: "You didn't shake at all?"

Xie Yi knew what she was talking about, glanced at the hourglass in the corner, and saw that there was still a while before the departure, so she continued to write and let her speak.

The old lady smiled again: "If there is no shock, why do you have to do everything possible to know your background, you have learned a lot from her."

This she refers to Queen Wei.

"She made you so that you can't be recognized by your father, you can't go back home, and you become an adulterous child that everyone despises. You were deceived by her and spent most of your life in caring for her grandson, and defending the crown prince. Take back the throne, even at the expense of the reputation of treacherous ministers. Do you really have no injustice, no anger?"

Xie Yi ignored her.The old lady didn't care, she didn't have much time to talk to her, and she just wanted to speak out.

"Emperor Wu also wanted to recognize you and prevent the blood of the Han family from being exiled outside. She said that this matter destroyed the prestige of the emperor, and persuaded Emperor Wu to give up this idea, which made Emperor Wu feel guilty about you and brought you into the palace. Among them, she was included in the prince's camp, so that the prince added a strong helper invisibly. She pretended to be charitable and cared for you so much that you were grateful. Even after death, she coaxed you to take care of her grandson. Let you Not only did he wholeheartedly look after the emperor, but he also wholeheartedly wanted to vindicate the prince."

These words were said when Chen Ju persuaded her to tell her who her biological father was that day.Xie Yi wrote the last stroke on the bamboo slips, Fang raised his head in a calm manner, and asked her: "First, Emperor Wu refuses to recognize me, so why not just say that I am the daughter of the Chen family, why do you want to give away irrelevant things?" Mr. Xie's family is involved, and his life has been turbulent, which makes people suspicious? Second, if you want to recognize me, you just need to quietly hug me into the palace, pretending to be a concubine, and you don't need to mention you at all, let alone Destroy the prestige of the emperor."

The old lady saw that she had found a suspicious point, and said angrily: "There must be a reason for this."

She was about to continue, but Xie Yi interrupted her, and said: "Before you leave, you have to emphasize this matter with me again, but in order to arouse the grievances in my heart, so that I can compete with the emperor, it is best for me to end up The end of life and death?"

The old lady leaned on a cane and looked at her angrily.

Xie Yi smiled suddenly: "What you said is totally baseless, and I can't find a single witness. Instead of believing that Emperor Wu is my biological father, I suspect that I am not your biological father. What mother would hate her daughter so deeply? "

The old lady's eyes were full of anger, and she cursed: "The unfilial daughter..."

Xie Yi called someone and dragged her out.

The family members sent were all her confidants, and all the family members stayed in the prime minister's mansion.Xie Yi was not afraid of the old madam's nonsense, even if she yelled, it would be fine, because there was no evidence, no one would believe her, and most likely would think she was crazy.What's more, she detained Chen Ju in Beijing, for his sake, the old lady didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Sure enough, as soon as someone came in, the old lady shut up.

Xie Yi watched her being dragged out and closed her eyes.After an unknown amount of time, someone outside the door reported, "Your Majesty is coming."

After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Liu Zao walked in with a smile.She entered the prime minister's mansion, and became more and more familiar with it.

Xie Yi looked at her until she came to her side, and Fang asked, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

Liu Zao said, "I'll come and see you."

Xie Yi smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, she said softly, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace, I still have something to do here."

Liu Zao didn't expect that Xiang Xie would drive her away as soon as she arrived.They just confirmed their status yesterday, but Prime Minister Xie treated her so coldly today, does she regret it?

Liu Zao was flustered immediately, but she didn't show it. Instead, she calmly said, "You're busy, I'll wait for you."

"Go back." Xie Yi slightly raised her voice.

Liu Zao was startled, hurt flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head, forced a smile, and said, "Then I'm going back to the palace. You..." Liu Zao wanted to tell her to remember to look for her, but in this situation, she couldn't do it either. Dare to say.She turned around silently, and only took a step before her hand was grabbed.

Liu Zao looked down, it was Xie Yi who kept her.

Her hands were a little cold, but they held her firmly.Liu Zao immediately felt aggrieved and a little angry. She wanted to withdraw her hand and not give Xie a handshake, but she couldn't bear it.She couldn't bear to refuse everything she offered.

Xie Yi already regretted it, and didn't know how to coax her. After thinking about it, she stood up, hugged her, and said apologetically, "It's my fault that made His Majesty sad."

She was rarely rude to the emperor, because she was young and needed to establish her prestige, Xie Yi used her own prestige as a stepping stone for her.When something happened, she would often kneel down to plead guilty, to set off the majesty of the monarch, and she would never forget etiquette in front of the ministers on weekdays, and she was always respectful, so that the ministers did not dare to underestimate the emperor.

There was only one time when she was extremely rude to her, and that was in front of Changxin Palace many years ago, when she walked in front of His Majesty, she neither stopped nor saluted.But even that time, she had carefully calculated it in her heart. Those who were present at that time were her and His Majesty's confidantes, and she would never spread it.

How can you be careful all the time, now that you have confirmed your status with His Majesty, but you are careless on the contrary, which makes her heartbroken again.

When Liu Zao was hugged by her, she stopped being angry all of a sudden, but her grievances were still there.She also hugged Xie Yi, and said in a low voice, "I came to see you in nice clothes, but you didn't even look at me."

Xie Yi was even more apologetic, and said: "It's my fault." She had already thought about it, and she didn't want to find out what the truth was, let alone implicate His Majesty, but she was confused by a few words of provocation.

Hearing what she said, Liu Zao didn't feel wronged, sighed, and said: "I know you have something on your mind, it doesn't matter if you scold me a few words to vent your anger." Just don't regret it.Don't let her fall into the abyss again after being happy for one day.
