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

Chapter 918
Jinxiu hurriedly said: "I don't dare, my servant congratulates the empress for finding her brother, but how can the empress be sure that he is the real Xie Jinxuan?"

Qingchen sighed meaningfully: "Of course I know it. I just know some things in my own mind. In short, you must remember what I said, and don't make him an enemy. Do you understand?"

Jinxiu smiled awkwardly: "How dare a servant make an enemy of him, besides his skill, he is much stronger than a servant, as long as he does not do things that are not good for the empress, naturally the servant will not make it difficult for him."

Qingchen sat on the heated kang to gather his composure, and seeing that it was still a while before dawn, he told Jinxiu, "Go back, I'll lie down for a while, it's about time to get up and greet the queen."

Jinxiu put away the sword in her hand and went to the bed to help her untangle the quilt and said: "Your servant waits for your mother to rest before going out."

After Qingchen finished lying down on the bed, Jinxiu turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Jinxiu, the matter is very important. No one should know that Xie Jinxuan is still alive. You have to be careful."

Jinxiu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant knows the seriousness and will never let the news out."

Qingchen lay on the pillow, turned over comfortably and smiled: "I know you are calmer and more measured than Jinxin, even if I don't say it, you understand that this is a matter of life and death for me, but it's just a matter of telling you That's all, okay, go to sleep, it will be dawn later."

Jinxiu went out and closed the door, and lay down in the anteroom with her clothes on for a while, and got up as soon as it was light to go to the backyard to practice swords.

Qingchen didn't sleep well in the middle of the night last night, woke up a bit late, washed up in a hurry and went to greet the queen, patiently listened to their cynicism and sarcasm at the nobleman Wei in Jiaofang Hall, and remembered what they said when he came back, I almost lost my appetite for breakfast.

Seeing her absent-mindedly stirring the bowl of bird's nest porridge, Yun Lan asked, "Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "After breakfast, let's go to Shou'an Palace? When we were in the palace, the emperor promised me that I could visit the Queen Mother, and I also want to visit. The Queen Mother has been imprisoned for so long, I don't know How is she now?"

Yun Lan seemed to be a little hesitant, and asked: "Is your mother protecting her brother?" On the way back to the palace, Qing Chen had already told Yun Lan about Xie Jinxuan. You can't hide it and you don't need to hide it from her.

Qingchen dropped the spoon in his hand with some serious concerns, and said to Yunlan: "If Xie Jinxuan hadn't appeared, the Queen Mother would be safe with me right now, and I don't need to mess with her, just wait and see how the emperor will convict her in the future That's it. But now my elder brother is back. He is the only male in the Xie family. I must do my best to protect him. He failed to assassinate the Queen Mother several times. I am afraid that something will happen in the future, and he will be desperate again. If he enters the palace again to assassinate, if something goes wrong, don't you want me to regret it for the rest of my life?"

Yun Lan nodded thoughtfully, and said quietly: "What your mother said is that if you don't want things to get complicated, it's best to let the queen mother ignore the outside things. If you do this, the queen mother will hate you and poison your mother." ? If she wants to deal with the empress, she will definitely use more cruel methods than the concubines to harm the empress, and the empress must be prepared."

Qingchen said coldly: "I have no other choice. No matter what methods the Empress Dowager uses to deal with me, I will go all out for Xie Jinxuan."

After eating breakfast, Qingchen asked Yunlan to help her change into the garnet-red gold thread peony palace dress. It was still the dress she wore to meet the emperor that night, but this time the makeup was a little thicker, which made people look Going up, even when he was smiling, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of fierceness that couldn't be hidden.

Qingchen looked at himself in the mirror, and seemed to see someone's shadow, not Concubine Li, but Concubine Shu.The sharpness of Concubine Li's brows was due to the sternness in her heart, and that sharpness was more of a vicious look, while Concubine Shu's sharpness came from her noble birth and inner pride.It also makes people feel scared, but it gives people a completely different feeling.

Qingchen never thought that one day, such a look would appear on his face.It turns out that in many cases, it is just fate pushing you forward. No matter whether you are mentally prepared or not, when you reach that step, you will naturally accept nothing.

"Let's go." Putting down the jade comb in his hand, Qingchen supported Yunlan's hand, walked out with his head held high and his chest steady, with a calm expression and a firm determination in his eyes.

Bringing Yunlan to the outside of Shou'an Palace, they didn't get too many obstacles. The Empress Dowager had been grounded for three or two days. None of the concubines dared to come to visit rashly, for fear of offending the Emperor, even the Empress would No exception.It is well known that Concubine Chen had a miscarriage in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and she had no reason to disobey the imperial decree for the Empress Dowager's sake, so the guards only asked them a few questions before letting them in.

After entering the courtyard, Baozhu went in to report to the Empress Dowager, but she didn't come out for a long time, Qingchen stood in front of the hall, waiting calmly, but felt a little ridiculous in her heart.It's not the first time for her to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. What's the point of taking Mawei to her now?
After standing in front of the court for more than half an hour, Baozhu opened the curtain and came out, not daring to look at her face, but bowed and said: "Chenfei empress, the empress dowager let you in."

Qingchen smiled gently and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Qingchen smiled gently and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Baozhu blushed and said hurriedly: "Your maidservant dare not, this is what a maidservant should do."

Yun Lan and Baozhu helped her open the curtain in front, Qingchen walked steadily into the hall, and saw the Queen Mother was leaning on the heating kang with her eyes closed to rest her mind, and Madam Wei stood there expressionless and waited on her.On the other side, Liang Jieyu was sitting on the embroidered pier, embroidering the empress dowager with the flowing cloud patterns on her warm hat. When she saw her come in, she raised her eyes and stood up with a smile.

Qingchen pretended not to see it, and knelt down respectfully. What he did was not a common practice, but a great gift, "The concubine sees the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious."

The Empress Dowager leaned on the warm couch without even raising her eyelids, as if she didn't hear anyone at all, and she didn't know that someone had entered the room.

Liang Jieyu seemed to be even more embarrassed than her, and she blessed Qing Chen and said: "Concubine concubine pays her respects to Concubine Chen, and she is auspicious."

Qingchen didn't raise his eyes to look at her, but just knelt on the ground, folded his hands in front of his knees, and said lightly: "Excuse me."

Liang Jieyu knew that it was the empress dowager's intention to embarrass the concubine Chen, so she didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Wei Mama in embarrassment. The meaning of speaking.
