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

Chapter 399: Secret Counterattack (1)
Yun Lan stood by the table, gently helped her to grind the grinder, and said with a happy smile: "Your Majesty, I am really proud of you, to be able to say such words with a clear conscience in front of the Buddha in the Buddhist hall , I am afraid that you are the only one in this palace. Since they want you to write, then you must write something, otherwise if something happens to the empress, you will not be able to figure it out."

"Okay, then I'll write, anyway, someone might come to collect it in the middle of the night tonight." With a cold sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, Qing Chen dipped his pen in ink and wrote on the yellowed rice paper like a knife.

Under the dim light, Qingchen was still concentrating on writing stroke by stroke, his face was as calm as water, as if he had reached a state of ecstasy.

Suddenly, the autumn wind blew open the back window of the Buddhist hall, and a strong wind swept in and blew out the candles, and also scattered the rice paper on the table all over the floor.

Seeing the darkness in the hall, Yun Lan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't I serve you to rest, and it's not too late to write tomorrow."

"Alright, anyway, I have plenty of time to repent."

The hall was pitch black, so naturally no one could see the smile on her lips, and under the moonlight, the two fumbled out the door.

At this time, in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, the emperor and the empress were talking with the empress dowager. The concubine Xin passed away yesterday, and the emperor had no intention of having a family banquet, so he just accompanied his ancestors to have a vegetarian meal in Ningshou Palace. Tonight, I heard that the empress dowager Because of the upset about Concubine Xin, the Emperor and Empress came to accompany the Empress Dowager to have dinner, and then comforted them carefully.

The three of them were chatting about the cakes newly made by the imperial kitchen, and they heard Bao Zhu who was waiting outside come in and say: "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the little nun in the Buddhist hall has no intention of asking to see you."

The people from the Buddhist hall came to ask for an audience at this time, the queen mother was also a little surprised, seeing the emperor's eyes turned cold instantly, and seeing the queen's nonchalant look, although she didn't know what was going on, she knew in her heart that there was always something to do, so she ordered Said: "Let her in."

Wuxin came in with Baozhu, first knelt down and saluted each other, and then said: "Your Majesty, empress, this is the confession book that the poor nun picked up in the Buddhist hall. It was written by the empress Rong. Sins, those that are still in the future and burned, the poor nun felt that the emperor and empress should have a look at them first, so that he knew what to do, so he sent these things over, and asked the emperor and empress to look at them."

As she said, the emperor's face was already gloomy. Baozhu took what was in Wuxin's hand and carefully held it in front of the Empress Dowager. It's a filthy thing. The Queen will take care of the affairs of the harem, and the Ai family trusts the Queen, so why don't you let the Queen look at it first."

"Are you sure this is the letter of repentance written by Concubine Rong?" The emperor's voice was not loud, but he was full of majesty. Under the candlelight, there seemed to be a sharp edge in his cold eyes, which made her tremble all over.

"If you go back to the emperor, the poor nun dare not lie. This is written by the concubine Rong in front of the Buddha. The poor nun saw it clearly when cleaning the Buddhist hall today." Trembling, but Wuxin still bit the bullet and went back to the emperor like this.

The emperor's face was ashen, and he grabbed the thick stack of repentance books from Baozhu's hand, suppressed his anger and sneered, "Concubine Rong has only been in bed for less than half a year, and she has committed so many crimes. I'm dumbfounded, but I want to take a good look at what she wrote!"
