Chapter 194
"Don't worry, in the past between you and Xie Zhuo, I will treat you as young and ignorant, and you can still be a high-ranking queen in the future, but Xie Zhuo must die."

"He trusts you so much, why don't you personally bring him a glass of wine and send him on his way. I don't blame the past for the past. Ming'er thinks this proposal is good?"

Li Xiuqi said a lot in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he stared at Cui Ming's face, wanting to see her reaction.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Cui Ming suddenly broke free from his hand and stepped back a few steps. She raised her chin and looked at him and said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't forget how you came to be the emperor. This is how you treat him. Is it your hero?"

"Since ancient times, it has never been a strange thing for birds to make good bows."

"The concubine has nothing to say to His Majesty. The concubine is tired, please go back, Your Majesty."

After getting this answer, Cui Ming naturally knew that the persuasion was fruitless, so he said coldly.

Li Xiuqi looked at her, and suddenly asked softly, "Do you love him that much?"

When he met Cui Ming's calm eyes, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Since you are obsessed with your obsession, then don't leave this Huarong Palace in the future. The harem is suitable and I will hand it over to the right person to take charge of it."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, as if he was afraid of hearing the answer from Cui Ming.

Li Xiuqi came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Before Cui Ming had time to think about Li Xiuqi's words, the Yulin Army ordered by Li Xiuqi directly surrounded the entire Huarong Palace.

"Your Majesty, what's going on? Your Majesty, he..." Seeing Li Xiuqi leave angrily, Xiang Yun hurried in and asked.

Cui Ming glanced at her indifferently and remained silent.

Xiang Yun anxiously turned around Cui Ming, "What's going on? Madam, have you quarreled with His Majesty?"

She could only vaguely hear their voices outside just now, and it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant, but she didn't hear a single word of what they said.

Cui Ming shook his head, and took advantage of the situation to return to the chair, "If there is no quarrel, the ground is grounded. Anyway, I don't want to go out in this cold weather."

"But there is a big difference between not wanting to go out and being grounded. If news of today's incident gets out, I don't know how many people in the harem will see your joke."

Maybe she will think that her mother-in-law has fallen out of favor.

Xiang Yun thought angrily, but when she turned around and saw Cui Ming's indifferent attitude, she could only sigh deeply.

In the past three years, the Empress and His Majesty have been on the same page, and the relationship between husband and wife is deep. Even with so many concubines in the harem, this has not changed.

Her mother and His Majesty had quarreled before, and although His Majesty seemed to be sulking most of the time, they did not reconcile in the end.

Presumably this time it should be the same as before.

Cui Ming stared at the snacks on the table blankly, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.

After a while, she stood up abruptly again, and Xiangyun next to her jumped with such a large movement.

"Miss?"

Cui Ming rarely showed a trace of anxiety.

She really never thought that Li Xiuqi would suddenly come over and say these words.

Over the past few years, Xie Zhuo's decisive tactics have gained a lot of power in the court, and he even has the potential to surpass Li Xiuqi.

Li Xiuqi was afraid of Xie Zhuo, and it wasn't the first day she knew about it.

It's just that he never thought that he would act so quickly. After all, there are still many old forces in the court that have not completely disintegrated.

Cui Ming quickly went to the study, she set out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a few words in a hurry, then took the folded note to a window, followed by a few birdsong in her mouth, after a while, A gray pigeon flew in and landed on the windowsill.

Cui Ming carefully placed the note under the gray pigeon's feet, she reached out and stroked its head gently, and whispered, "Go quickly."

The gray pigeon spread its wings and flew away as if it understood her words, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

This pigeon was given to her by Xie Zhuoyang. In the past three years, if it was not convenient for them to meet in person, they would send messages by flying pigeon.

Thinking of Li Xiuqi's expression when he just left, Cui Ming only prayed in his heart that the letter he sent would reach Xie Zhuo soon.

Xiangyun witnessed the whole process from the side, she hesitated for a long time while watching Cui Ming, and then asked cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

She has been sending letters out for the past few years, Xiang Yun knows about it.But she didn't know who the recipient was, and Cui Ming never let her see the contents of the letter.

Even more often, she would not receive and deliver letters in front of Xiangyun, not because she didn't trust her, but because she felt it was unnecessary.

It is best not to have too many people know about her and Xie Zhuo.

Cui Ming looked up at her and said softly, "Xiangyun. Do you want to go?"

"Let's go? Where are you going? Miss, don't you want your slaves?" Xiang Yun asked with a trembling voice, but tears filled his eyes in an instant.

Cui Ming smiled softly, "It's not that I don't want you, but that we won't be able to stay in the harem for long. When the time comes, I will send you out of the palace with the dowry I prepared for you. Find someone out there who treats you well and spend the rest of your life."

She had thought of sending Xiangyun away before, but Xiangyun had been unwilling to leave and insisted on staying by her side, plus there were still some matters that had not been settled, so she did not force her.

Who knew that this situation would hurt her now.

"The servant will never marry in this life, and the servant will accompany the young lady for the rest of his life." Xiang Yun said firmly.

Cui Ming shook his head, "If you don't want to marry, the silver taels I gave you are enough for you to spend your life well-fed."

"Why did the miss send the servants away? Did your majesty say something today? Is your majesty ungrateful and don't want to miss you?"

As she spoke, she began to speak angrily.

"Xiang Yun, Your Majesty is today, be careful not to speak out." Cui Ming interrupted her helplessly.

Xiangyun seemed to calm down a little bit, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Servant, this servant is only here to ask Miss you, now there are only Miss and servant left in Huarong Palace, the people around will naturally not listen. What did the servant girl say?"

"You can tell the servant if you have anything, okay? Although the servant is not smart, maybe the servant can help you, miss."

Cui Ming looked at her and sighed, "The letter I sent just now was for Xie Zhuo, and Xie Zhuo has been writing to me for the past three years."

Xiangyun raised his head and looked at Cui Ming dumbfounded, and stood there in a daze, without responding for a long time.

She remembered that the young lady told her before that it was a friend of hers who was away. She never thought that this friend was Prime Minister Xie.

Could it be that His Majesty was furious because he discovered the relationship between her young lady and Prime Minister Xie?
