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

Chapter 923 In danger (5)
Xiao Jun didn't agree to her immediately, but instead asked, "How long did you sleep last night?"

Qingchen's heart twitched, not sure what the emperor meant, and he didn't dare to answer, but looked at his side face with some guilt, and cold sweat began to break out in his hands.

"How long have you been thinking about changing the staff in the Empress Dowager's Palace? When did you come up with the idea of ​​letting Liang Jieyu stay out of the matter and get out? I don't call you to sleep with me, you just think about it every night." Are these things right?"

Qingchen said sadly: "Otherwise, when the night is long and the concubine can't sleep, how can I pass the time?"

The emperor frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment, but he didn't answer her words, and instead asked: "Since you want to protect Liang Jieyu, why didn't you tell her clearly, but insisted that she hate you?"

Qing Chen opened her mouth, but she couldn't explain to Xiao Jun that she had already made it clear to Liang Jieyu, but she insisted on refusing, so she had to forcibly ground her.If there is no purpose, no one will be filial to the Queen Mother to the point of risking their lives to tell the emperor that Liang Jieyu is determined not to listen to persuasion, no wonder he is not suspicious.

After thinking about it, I could only say: "The concubine and Liang Jieyu actually don't have much friendship, she may not accept the concubine's kindness, so it would be better for her to understand some things slowly." It can also be said.

Xiao Jun gave him a sideways look, and said dissatisfied: "I reminded you to be careful in every step in the Empress Dowager's Palace, not to hurt yourself, if you can't do it, then don't go to Shou'an Palace again."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "The concubine can do it, today is just an accident, who can walk without falling for the rest of their life? If you fall down, just get up, it's no big deal."

"The Empress Dowager's Palace is nothing compared to other places. I'm afraid you'll lose your life!"

Qingchen didn't care about the emperor's worried scolding, put his arms around his shoulders, and whispered into his ear: "If all the servants in the queen mother's palace are replaced by the emperor's people, do you think she will dare to make things difficult for her concubines in the future?" What?" Qingchen couldn't say the rest, after all, she was still the empress dowager, her status was left there, some words were too plain, but it seemed that she didn't know how to respect the elderly.

If they were all replaced by the emperor's people, even if the queen mother really wanted to torture her, who would listen to her?In the future, the Empress Dowager's edict may not be able to leave her Shou'an Palace.

Xiao Jun snorted softly, even though she understood the meaning of her words, she didn't give her a good face, "If I were you, I would think carefully about how the queen mother will deal with you at this time. You changed her person , if you think she will just leave it like this, it would be too naive."

"The concubine knows, the emperor can rest assured." Already outside the palace wall of Duanyang Palace, Qingchen saw Jinxiu circling anxiously at the gate of the palace from a distance, and asked, "Your Majesty, has Jinxiu ever been to the Imperial Study Room? Did she beg you to find a concubine?"

Xiao Jun still seemed a little unhappy, and said with a calm face: "Jinxiu has always been calm, even she can't bear her temper anymore, do you think I can not be in a hurry? When you go to Shou'an Palace in the future, remember to take her with you, and several people will follow Always good."

In the early morning, he chuckled, "This is not a group fight, there is no need to bring so many people, but since the emperor ordered, I will do as I wish."

Back at Duanyang Palace, before Gu Yunfeng rushed over, Qingchen didn't want the emperor to see the bruises on his legs, so he tried to persuade him to leave.

She thought the bruises on her legs were nothing serious, but Gu Yunfeng said to her with a dark face: "Are you stupid? They said they made you kneel, but no one locked you with chains, so you just take it seriously." Kneeling motionlessly for more than two hours, don't you want your legs anymore!"

It's not that she didn't want to move, at first she gritted her teeth and endured it, then she lost consciousness, so she couldn't feel anything, now that she heard Yun Feng say this, she suddenly felt a little scared, the blood was not flowing smoothly for a long time, maybe it would get messed up I couldn't walk anymore by myself.For that old temptress, it's not worth it to take my own legs.

Jinxiu brought hot water to compress her swollen calf, and said with some unbearable heart: "Your Majesty, it's not good for you to be slaves. If your slaves could go to the emperor earlier, your empress wouldn't have to suffer such a big crime."

"It's the first time I go to Shou'an Palace, and I have to suffer a lot no matter what. I'm prepared for this in my heart, so I can't blame you." Then he ordered Yun Lan: "You go and tell Chang Xi to go find Xiaoyin. My son, just tell him what I have ordered him to do, and he can do it tomorrow."

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Yun Lan handed the ointment in her hand to Jinxiu, left the Xinuang Pavilion, and sent Gu Yunfeng who was packing the medicine box outside by the way.

At night, Qingchen's legs became more and more sore and uncomfortable, and she couldn't even stand up and walk, and her knee joints also hurt badly. Even though Yunlan and Qinxue massaged her for half a night, she still couldn't sleep because of the pain. Helpless, she had no choice but to tell Yun Lan, "Go to Chengkun Palace tomorrow morning and tell me about your illness. If I look like this, if I go, it will only make people laugh."

Yun Lan hurriedly responded, and said: "Eunuch Fu is quick to do things. I heard that after dinner, he replaced all the palace people in the Queen Mother's palace. When the Queen Mother heard the news suddenly, she was so angry that she almost passed out. , in front of everyone... said a lot of nasty things and smashed a lot of things, the next time you see the Queen Mother, you have to be extra careful."

Qingchen sneered and said: "She couldn't help being angry in front of everyone, and she yelled at me, right? This was already expected by me, so there is nothing wrong with it. The queen mother dominated the harem for most of her life, how many years?" No one dared to disobey her, but she suffered such a big grievance at the hands of Bengong, even if she wanted to kill Bengong, Bengong wouldn't be surprised."

Yun Lan covered her knees with a soft sheepskin bag, beat her calf lightly, and said with a smile: "The queen mother made the empress kneel for so long today, and she felt comfortable, but she never thought that the empress would return it to you." She prepared a big gift, and suddenly cut off so many of her confidantes, no wonder she is so angry."

"She still has the strength to smash things, which proves that her health is not as bad as I want. It seems that I have to continue to 'serve' her with all my heart."

Caressing his sore legs, Qingchen also hated the Queen Mother very much in his heart, that old temptress is used to tormenting people with these trivial methods, if he didn't have no idea in his heart today, he wouldn't just kneel there and support her. for so long.Since she likes to play this kind of trick so much, she will play with her to the end from now on, if she can't be tortured to death, she will be mad at her.

In fact, today's matter, Qingchen did not expect it to go so smoothly. She was shocked that the Queen Mother's hands and eyes were open to the sky, and even separated by layers of imperial guards, she could know all the big and small things in the palace so clearly. It can be seen that this house arrest is meaningless to her at all. If you want to control her, you must start with the people around her.
