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

Chapter 968 Birthday (24)
With a deep sigh, the Empress Dowager said again: "Now you have made most of the courtiers dissatisfied with your appointment as an imperial concubine. If they collude with Xiao Hong to rebel, the emperor will have no chance of winning, so in order to buy the emperor several months of preparation time, You have to take this step. Being in the royal family, sometimes you have to use your life to fulfill the imperial power, don't blame your ancestors, there is no way."

Qingchen knew that if the queen mother and empress wanted to take her life, maybe she could still protect herself, but now it was the ancestor who wanted her life, and she couldn't escape no matter what.

She has died once, and she knows that death is not so terrible. She just pities the emperor. From then on, there may not even be a single person who understands his heart.

Qingchen tearfully begged: "The concubine dare not disobey the old ancestor's edict, but just wants to ask the ancestor one last thing. After the concubine leaves, please treat the servants in the concubine's palace kindly. Go back to Cangshu Pavilion to work. As for Jinxiu, the concubine has already prepared a dowry for her. If she is unwilling to marry, please reward her generously and let her go out of the palace to make a living. Also, the concubine does not want to die Ai Rong, I just beg the old ancestor not to tell the emperor that the concubine has gone, the concubine did not want to make him sad, so he said that you sent the concubine out of the palace to take refuge in the Valley of Evil Doctors. After leaving the country, you can still tell him that the concubine doesn't like the days of intrigue in the palace, and has gone to live a carefree life in hiding in the Jianghu. The concubine only has this request, and I beg the ancestors to fulfill it."

In the face of life and death, if you can struggle, no one wants to give up the last hope of living.Hearing what she said, the Empress Dowager seemed a little surprised and asked: "You really only have this request? If that's the case, the ancestors will agree."

Qingchen nodded, she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in at the moment, she didn't care anymore, maybe she would travel through time again, she felt sorry for the emperor more, if she had known that this life was so short, she would have done more things for him , and will not leave with regrets. "The concubine really has no other requirements."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, nodded her head, and ordered decisively: "Mother Gui, serve the wine."

Hearing the old ancestor's order, Nanny Gui turned around and walked out. After a while, she came in with a glass of clear sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's red on the top of a crane, so there won't be too much pain."

Qingchen pursed her lips with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Madam, for being considerate of my concubines."

Picking up the sapphire wine glass, Qingchen's hand was unexpectedly steady. Could it be that after experiencing too many life and death karmas, her heart has become so calm that she even looks down on death?

After drinking a glass of wine, Qingchen asked again: "Old Ancestor, please don't forget to promise your concubine."

The Empress Dowager stared deeply at her every move, until she drank the glass of poisoned wine, and then sighed in relief: "Maybe this is God's will, it is fate."

Qingchen kowtowed again with tears in his eyes: "Ancestor, the life and death of concubines is not important. I just ask the ancestor to help the emperor tide over the difficulties. Without his concubines, he will never be able to lose his country. The only way to tie the emperor to Only by being on the dragon chair can he have a reason to live well."

The Empress Dowager seemed unwilling to say any more, she waved her hand and said, "Go down, go down."

"Take care, old ancestor, and my concubine will leave." With a final look at the Empress Dowager earnestly, Qingchen helped Yun Lan's hand to stand up, bowed and retreated back to the door of the greenhouse, then turned and left.

Seeing her leaving the door, Nanny Gui sighed, "No one is afraid of death. If you die for someone you like, even if you are sad and regretful, you are still at ease, right? She deserves the position of imperial concubine."

The empress dowager picked up the scissors and continued to prune the pot of jasmine with thousands of petals in her hand. She already knew the situation in the harem and said with certainty: "The queen of the big job will belong to her in the future." Man, you can't let people have no selfishness. What else can I say if this is the case before life and death? Maybe this is Jun'er's blessing. A queen who is willing to consider everything for him will never allow anyone to threaten her. To the imperial power. And that girl is also a smart person, and she will not follow the old path of the queen mother, so I am relieved, at least it is not in vain to hurt her."

Nanny Gui smiled and said, "If the emperor knew that the old ancestor was tempting the imperial concubine in such a way, he wouldn't know how much he would feel distressed."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, pushed the pruned bonsai aside, got up and walked to the Buddhist hall, "I'm getting old, and I haven't had a headache for a few years, so I have to close my eyes in peace, right?"

Qingchen took Yunlan out of the Yongshou Palace, and felt that her feet were light and light. In fact, at this moment, she was no more sad than when she was in front of her ancestors. Hedinghong had no antidote. Maybe it was because she knew this that she now What I want is to quickly explain everything that needs to be explained.

"Yun Lan, I asked you before, you said you didn't want to go out of the palace, but now you still think that way? Jinxiu, I will definitely let her go, why don't you two go out of the palace as companions, and take care of each other, I will also prepare a dowry for you, at least to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Yun Lan's eyes were red, she sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, the servants are not going out of the palace, your Majesty should stop worrying about the servants."

Since she was determined, Qingchen didn't want to force it. After thinking about it, he said: "Then I beg you, I will go to the imperial court to take care of the emperor in the future, right? With you serving him by his side, I feel a lot more at ease. This is I have one last wish, if you agree, it will not be in vain for the love of our master and servant."

Although Yun Lan was sad at the moment, she was still sober. She didn't answer her immediately, but instead asked: "Madam, this servant heard you very well just now. What Nanny Gui clearly said was that the crane's crown is red. That's an unsolvable drama Poison... If the ancestor really wanted to kill the empress, then the empress would..."

Yun Lan paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up suddenly, she couldn't hold back the excitement in her tears and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, did the old ancestor just want to test your Majesty? Maybe she just wanted to warn your Majesty, and I hope your Majesty will stop for now." Fighting for power with the queen, if the empress can really take a step forward in the future, I also hope that the empress will not become the second empress dowager."

At this time, Jinxiu also seemed to have suddenly come to her senses, nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, ma'am, what Aunt Yunlan said may be right, otherwise it would be impossible for me to stand here safe and sound after so long."

Qingchen was stunned, took his own pulse, and thought over what the Empress Dowager said before and after, but he didn't look like he was overjoyed and sad for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He just smiled shyly and said: "The old ancestor's After painstaking efforts, I understand that she is really warning me, and let me not forget that she can actually do this. She wants me to remember why she left my life today, but it is because of my heart She is just pretending to be the emperor. She is afraid that I will become domineering and authoritarian like the queen mother in the future. But I know I won't, because I don't have that kind of ambition, and all I want is for the emperor to be less troublesome."
