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

1131 Chapter 20 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
It wasn't too late for Xiao Jun to come down, and she stood at the gate of Qifeng Palace for a long time, admiring the magnificent scenery of Shili Fenghe in the afterglow, and seeing those rare lotus species planted for her a few years ago, and now they are blooming just right , Then come in for dinner in a good mood.

The weather was hot, Qingchen waited for him to bathe and change clothes first, the emperor wore ordinary clothes without a belt, so he always felt very casual with her.After dinner, the two of them held candles under the window to discuss chess skills at night.

There is a cool breeze in the hall, and there is no heat outside. The emperor smiled comfortably: "I have walked along the way. Although there are many plants and trees in the palace, I still feel stuffy and uncomfortable. It is very cool here, surrounded by water and ventilation. Well, it’s really much more comfortable than other places.”

Qingchen dropped a son and whispered: "From then on, no matter how late it is, the concubines will keep the door open for the emperor."

"Really, that's great, it's really because of the hot weather." Before Qing Chen could understand what he meant, he saw him drop the chess piece in his hand, got up and picked her up and went to the inner room.

Seeing that it was still early, she struggled and said: "Your Majesty, it is still early."

"Then go to bed early." Such impatientness made her feel a little embarrassed. What time was it? After dinner and a game of chess, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

Qingchen helped him take off his clothes, and when he listened to her ears, he teased and said with dissatisfaction: "When the weather is hot, you won't let me touch you. I'm just young now, not a five or sixty-year-old old man." , how can you be so dull, tonight I will make up for what you owe, and see if you dare to refuse me in the future."

"The concubine dare not, the emperor spares the concubine..."

How could Xiao Jun care about her begging for mercy, she stretched out her hand and knocked down the curtain, "It's only now that I know how to beg, it's too late..."

Since they had just arrived in the palace, after the concubines in the palaces settled down, they must have a lot of things to pack, so they were spared from getting up in the morning to say hello in the early morning of the first three days.

After serving the emperor for the morning court, she remembered what happened last night, so she asked Yun Lan, "Did you get the things?"

Yun Lan presented something like an account book and said: "This servant went to see Shu Xuan last night, and he said that everything the empress wanted is on it."

Qingchen snorted coldly, took it over and read it carefully, and couldn't help laughing and said: "If you don't look at it, you don't know, it's only after a secret investigation that I found out that there are so many shady things behind the backs of those dignified court officials. If I let them know that Bengong has so many tricks on them, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep with trepidation. Although what Bengong did was not an honest thing, it was just for self-protection, and I won't make trouble with them for no reason. , but these things they did are really disgusting. If the emperor sees this, he might be angry."

"It's always been like this in the officialdom. It's not that there are no clean and honest people, but it's hard for those people to gain a foothold. Either they offended people and were pushed out and relegated, or they were depressed. I hope that the emperor will have more clean and honest officials in this dynasty."

While Yun Lan was talking, she never thought that Jin Xiu would rush in and reply: "Your Majesty is not well, the Emperor had just quarreled with a group of ministers in the court hall, but in the end, there was no result, and he walked away angrily. Now many people are kneeling outside the imperial study to petition, saying that the empress forced the queen to death, if the emperor does not thoroughly investigate this matter and severely punish the empress, they will not be able to kneel forever."

Qingchen was slightly taken aback, thinking that the one who should come is here, and after a short silence, he sneered and said, "Then let them kneel and see how long they can last? It's the dog days, the hottest time of the year. There is no shelter under the steps in front of the imperial study room, I also want to see if their determination can stand the test of the heat?"

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Where is the emperor, can I have breakfast?"

Jinxiu shook her head and said: "It is said that the emperor smashed all the things sent in, it must have been furious, how can there be any appetite to eat?"

Qing Chen then ordered Yun Lan to say: "You take the jujube and lotus seed soup stewed in the small kitchen and the prepared breakfast to the emperor's study. I don't care about others, but I can't make the emperor's body angry. "

Yun Lan was busy responding, and then heard Jinxiu say: "Your Majesty, the rumors and gossips in the palace are becoming more and more serious now, and this matter is being talked about everywhere. The slaves are afraid that if this continues, the three of them will become a tiger, and the mouth will make a fortune. It's bad for your empress' reputation."

This is the rhythm of trying to kill her. If it was three years ago, maybe she would be in a panic and panic, but now it is not certain who is the knife and who is the fish. The bargaining chip in her hand And the power behind her is enough to make her fearless in the face of danger. If she doesn't frustrate her sharpness this time, they really think that she, the imperial concubine, is made of dough.

Qingchen squinted his eyes, and ordered in a decisive tone that had never been seen before: "I won't let them become tigers, and I will never be so easily ruined by other people's slander. Pass the order, from now on." , as long as someone dares to spread rumors about this matter in the palace, there is no need to go back and forth to the palace, and they will all be executed!"

Jinxiu's complexion changed slightly, her body stiffened suddenly, and she immediately responded: "Yes, this servant is going to pass on the message."

"Also, let someone tell Master Mu and Master Xie that I will find a way to resolve the crisis by myself, and there is no need for them to come forward to protect it for the time being, otherwise things will get worse." If Xie Jinxuan and Mu Jingzhi also get involved, The forces under their hands will inevitably come out to defend her, and this will turn a case into a struggle between two factions. She must not let the conflict intensify, which is not good for her.

Seeing that she had no other orders, Jinxiu called Qinxue to come in and take care of her, and went to pass the message without saying anything.

In the imperial study room, the emperor looked at the things Yun Lan sent up, remembered what he said with Qing Chen on the road, and soon understood her intentions.She said that no matter what, she didn't want him to get angry and ruin his body.Besides, if he fell, who else could shelter her?Thinking of this, the emperor sat down and slowly finished the breakfast on the table.

All morning, there were little eunuchs coming outside, Fuquan couldn't help it, and then came in and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine ordered that anyone who dares to spread rumors will be severely punished to serve him, and the palace has been executed for seven days." You are a slave, and this also includes the two little girls beside Concubine Ning and Concubine Yi, look at this..."

The emperor approved the memorial in his hand, without raising his head, he said indifferently: "Very well, it's not a big deal to kill a few slaves who add fuel to the flames, not to mention seven, even seventy. I will not come forward to dissuade you. If the imperial concubine is still as kind as before, it may not be a good thing. Sometimes it is good to have a bit of iron fist, and it is good to shock everyone. She is a measured person, how can she be forced to such a degree? No measures? Since the authority has been delegated to her, I will not hinder and interfere everywhere, otherwise not only will I not get peace here, but no one will really believe her."

"Yes, the servant knows." Fuquan is a sensible person, and he also knows that this time Qingchen was forced to be cruel by others. When either the fish died or the net was broken, even a Bodhisattva has to show some cruelty.
