The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1001 Birthday (57)
Xiao Jun knew in his heart that Sang Guirong's death, the old ancestor would not just let it go. After thinking for a moment, the emperor got up and discussed with Qing Chen: "Give Fu Guang a little more time, I will send you back to the palace first. good?"

"It happened so suddenly, I really need to give Mrs. Fu a little more time to prepare. All the concubines listen to the emperor." Qingchen supported Yun Lan's hand and stood up. After Gu Yunfeng gave the needle, she felt that her legs were much more comfortable, and she was no longer It was as uncomfortable as before.

Yun Lan helped her get dressed, Xiao Jun came over and leaned over to hug her and said, "I will send you back with a dragon chariot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qing Chen didn't refuse, but just reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulders. At this moment, she really wanted to find a hug to lean on.

After leaving the side hall, Qingchen looked back at the Xinhua Hall and saw that all the concubines were coming out of the hall one after another. The emperor was not there, so the empress must have no intention of having a banquet, so everyone dispersed early.

In this conspiracy, the Queen at least managed to achieve what she wanted, but Wei Guiren meddled in this, apart from wasting the life of a servant beside her, what benefit could she gain?Is it just a reward for the Queen's protection of her pregnancy?

Thinking of Chengruiting's thrilling moment, Qingchen's heart tightened again like lingering fear. If he hadn't been lucky, maybe the person lying in the coffin at this moment was not Sang Guirong but her.

Unconsciously, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand again. The part of her palm that was pinched by the nails was still painful, but she couldn't help clenching her fist again.As expected of a queen, she never made a move, but when she made a move, she was vicious than ordinary people.

Nestled in his arms, Qingchen was full of hatred and had nowhere to vent. After thinking about it for a long time, she was silent for a long time before begging: "Your Majesty, you must avenge Sang Guirong! This concubine escaped, but Sang Gui Rong is just like that... She was indeed killed by a concubine by mistake, but at that time..."

Xiao Jun put two fingers on her lips, shook her head lightly and said with a solemn face: "You don't need to explain, I understand that at that time, if you didn't kill her, she would kill you, I know you It wasn't intentional, and I can understand how terrified you were at that time. I only regret that I didn't protect you well, so you don't need to explain to me. Although it shouldn't be, it will inevitably make people feel cold to say such words, but I really love you. I am glad that the one who was hurt was not you, otherwise I would let the queen be buried with you! But even if everyone is buried with you, without you, what is the point to me?"

Qingchen trembled slightly in his heart, and asked: "Does the emperor suspect that the empress did this?"

Xiao Jun snorted coldly: "Who else could there be except her? No matter how little I care about the rights and wrongs in the harem, I still know that when Sang Guirong's child was gone, and I took the opportunity to send the queen down, she would definitely hold a grudge. I just didn't expect that she would come up with such a vicious plan to deal with the two of you, and still pretend to be virtuous in front of me. I grew up with her, don't I know her heart well enough, how can she pretend! "

Qingchen felt comforted by Xiao Jun's words. There was such a person who trusted him so much that he knew the helplessness in his heart without even needing to speak. A few words could make him feel at ease as before.

Clenching his hand tightly, Qingchen said softly: "What the emperor said is that, the concubine also thinks so in her heart, but because there is no evidence, so she dare not make random suspicions. The queen really took great pains to prevent the concubine from being a concubine. Two innocent lives have become a stumbling block for the concubine. But the concubine doesn't understand, is the Wei family planning to contribute to the queen?"

Xiao Jun's eyes were deep and speechless, and he said for a long time: "A courtier like Wei Zheng, I will dismiss him sooner or later."

The wind knows the strength of the grass, the sternness knows the honest ministers, and the courtiers who are vacillating in times of crisis, even after the crisis is over, the emperor can no longer use it with confidence.The emperor's most taboo is disloyalty, especially those who hold military power.

Qing Chen didn't ask any more questions, and there was no need to ask any more, even if Wei Ronghua gave birth to a prince, she was destined to have no future.

The emperor sent her back to Duanyang Palace, and accompanied her to rest for a while. When Qingchen woke up, the emperor had already returned to the imperial study.

After getting up to wash, Yun Lan asked softly: "Your Majesty, have you thought about how to answer if the old ancestor asks you later?"

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to speak. My ancestor let me go there to lecture, not to listen to my excuses. She wants to know the truth of the matter, so she only needs to summon Fu Guang alone." Qingchen was absent-minded. Holding the teacup in her hand, she watched the tea leaves in the cup swirl in the water up and down, just like her mood at the moment.It is said that life is like tea, which can only be tasted after being boiled with charcoal and hot water, but her cup of tea is too bitter.

"Except for Fu Guang's words, my ancestors don't believe anyone now, because she feels that the emperor and the son will favor me. What I worry about now is not that I will be punished because of Sang Guirong's death, but that the son's protection will make the old man My ancestors are dissatisfied with me."

It's not that Yun Lan didn't think of this, she pondered for a moment and said, "Ma'am, maybe it's not as bad as you think, isn't the son going back to Liang after this year?"

After all, Qingchen was a little uneasy in his heart, "Because of Concubine Li, the son was hurt and suffering for a long time before, which already made the ancestor very dissatisfied, and now he has taken such a big crime for me, even if the ancestor killed me Xin, I am not surprised. She can tolerate me killing Sang Guirong by accident, but she will never allow the emperor and the son, because a woman is fighting endlessly, so the only way is to let me die, so that the brothers can live in peace nothing."

Sighing lightly, Qingchen said sadly: "In ancient times, any inexplicable relationship between the concubine and the prince is the root of the disaster, because there is always one party who is not reconciled and wants to own the other party, so the desire for power will swell. , and the only long-term solution is to grab the dragon chair, so that he will use all means to fight for the imperial power. Although I know that Xiao Jue will not do this, but I think so, it does not mean that the ancestors will think so. Daqian's long-term peace and stability, the ancestors can sacrifice anyone."

Yun Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. You say that, making the slaves feel scared. With the Emperor here, he will definitely protect you."

Qingchen looked at the tea in the cup and remained silent. She is a sensible person and will prepare for the worst in everything.Or maybe it's because she traveled back thousands of years ago, she is too familiar with history, and she is too aware of those schemes and schemes, so she feels the weight of the imperial power more and more.A woman who understands righteousness will not lament the emperor's indifference until she dies, but will lament the helplessness of fate.
