The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 90

A sudden fire in the middle of the night in the inner court, precisely destroyed the library of ancient books storing the king's daily life notes.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, there shouldn't be chaos, and when this happens, the most trembling person is Zhou Yu, the general manager.

Zhou Yu first went to Fengyi Palace to ask for a crime. Zhou Yu knelt in front of the empress, with his head touching the ground, terrified, and said: "The slave's dereliction of duty caused the inner court to make such a big mistake. I beg the empress to come down!"

Unexpectedly, the queen was contrary to her usual sternness and just asked lightly, "Is there any loss?"

After a pause, Zhou Yu hurriedly reported the objects destroyed in the fire one by one, including the important Notes on the Living of the King, of course.

Hearing that the golden book was burned, Xu Jinhe's eyes flashed with untraceable satisfaction, and he responded lightly: "The inner court supervisor is an important place in the harem, how could such a mistake be made so easily, fortunately no important things were destroyed, otherwise how would you make up for it? Be careful next time, go down."

Zhou Yu originally thought that he would be punished harshly, but he didn't expect that he would understand a major matter so easily with just such a harmless sentence, and hurriedly kowtowed his head in trepidation, bowed and retreated.

After coming out of Fengyi Palace, Chief Manager Zhou has to go to Yufu Palace. The emperor has issued an oral order before, and all major events in the palace should be reported to Concubine Yi. Although Concubine Yi was cold a while ago, her position is there after all He had to make this trip.

Hearing that the inner court prison was on fire, Chu Xue naturally had to ask about the loss again, just like in Fengyi Palace, Zhou Yu reported one by one, and after listening to it, Chu Xue asked, "What does the empress say?"

Zhou Yu bowed and said with a sneer: "The empress only said that the servants should pay attention next time."

Chu Xue snorted, nodded and said, "You should pay attention. The "Notes on the Living of the King" was originally intended to be passed down for future generations to look up to. If it is burned like this, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu hurriedly explained: "Yes, the slave will order someone to repair it when he returns home."

"Can it be repaired?" Chu Xue looked at the person with a smile and asked, "Maybe it can be repaired as before?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Please don't worry, ma'am, the boy in the classic library has a good brain, and he will definitely be able to restore it as it is."

"That's good, then hurry up and do it! You can look forward to it in the future, and you must not make mistakes again!"

"Yes. The servant must pay attention."

Chu Xue nodded, and the visitor exited the hall.

The thick cotton curtain separated the severe cold outside the hall, and Chu Xue sat peacefully in the warm hall.Originally thought that the "Life Notes" could not be found, but who would have guessed that it could be repaired, in fact, it doesn't matter if it can be repaired, the emperor knows, the queen mother knows, is the golden book still needed?

However, this fire made her guess Xu Jinhe's intentions. It seems that Queen Xu is about to take the bait.

Although she is a queen, there is still a queen mother in the palace after all. Xu Jinhe still wants to find out what the queen mother means. If the queen mother doesn't know about Chu Xue's pregnancy, it will be much more convenient for her to act.So on this day, taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss with the Queen Mother how to celebrate the New Year, she asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, and said: "Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law hasn't seen Concubine Yi for a while, and I heard that she is ill. The daughter-in-law is also very worried! Although Concubine Yi Gui has offended the Emperor with her verbal abuse before, she is Le Er's biological mother after all, I wonder if the Queen Mother has seen Concubine Yi's younger sister recently?"

The most important thing in the queen mother's heart is always her own children and grandchildren, including the one in Chu Xue's womb. In order to protect Chu Xue's mother and child to the greatest extent, the queen mother naturally has to hide it from Xu Jinhe. After going through so many things, in her heart, Xu Jinhe is no longer a kind-hearted mistress, and she is also afraid that her jealousy will make Xu hurt her unborn little grandson.

So the Empress Dowager said lightly: "She came to greet Ai's family that day, her complexion was really not very good, Ai's family said a few words of relief. There are some things that outsiders can't help, and she has to rely on herself."

What the queen mother said showed her indifference and displeasure towards Chu Xue, so the queen mother should not know about this bitch's pregnancy, Xu Jinhe was finally relieved.

Since no one in the palace is protecting you anymore, don't blame me for being rude!This time, I will never miss again!
The days at the end of the year are always extremely fast. As the good news from the northern border comes back again and again, the women in the palace ushered in the New Year's Eve.

Although Song Chen was not there, the family still had to celebrate the New Year, so on New Year's Eve, Yuhe Hall still welcomed people for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Chu Xue was just two months pregnant, and after Cheng Zisong's treatment, her discomfort was slightly relieved, and she put on some makeup before going out, so apart from being a little thinner than before, she seemed in good spirits.Those who don't know the truth only think that she is depressed and doesn't think about eating and drinking. For example, Li Jiaoyun, who hasn't seen her for a while, immediately cares about her; while Li Fei, who is also still in the dark, secretly gloats.

From Concubine Li's point of view, Chu Xue is already a woman who has fallen out of favor, no matter how difficult it is to cause a storm, when Song Chen returns in a few days, if she works harder, she will soon be able to replace her.Concubine Li is full of hope for her future in this palace.

When the Queen and Queen Mother arrive one by one, the New Year's Eve dinner officially begins.

After receiving the Queen Mother's order, Queen Xu Jinhe said a few words before the banquet.She said: "Because the emperor is still leading the army to fight outside, let's do something simple tonight. When the emperor comes back from a big victory, let's have a good time! There are a few more sisters this year, and there should be a celebration, but the important matters of the family and the country come first. Still have to be considerate."

Everyone bowed their heads and said yes.

Xu Jinhe raised his hand to signal, and everyone raised their chopsticks one after another.

As Xu Jinhe said just now, because her husband is still away, in order to express their concern as a family member, everything was kept simple tonight, there were no singing and dancing, only some light wine, and everyone ate in silence with their own thoughts.Xu Jinhe glanced at Chu Xue who was opposite, and saw that although she was thin, she looked good, and her face with makeup was still beautiful, she couldn't help being disgusted.

This slut must be thinking of using the child in her womb to get her back. Song Chen has been cold to her for so long. The night before the farewell, it was probably the rekindling of the old relationship. In addition, she is pregnant again. When Song Chen returns, it will be extremely difficult It is possible to regain her favor again, I finally see hope, and I must not let it be shattered easily!

So this time, we must cut the weeds and get rid of the roots!

Looking at Concubine Li who was sitting down again, Xu Jinhe also sneered in her heart when she saw that she was still gorgeous and flamboyant today.This stupid woman, if you give her three points of color, you can open a dyeing workshop, but it's good to be stupid, and it's good to be stupid. Although she is one of the few available people, Xu Jinhe doesn't feel it is a pity at all. Xue, this woman is useless.

After drinking a glass of wine and clearing things up, Empress Xu finally felt a little relieved.

After a symbolic gathering, everyone went back to the palace after eating.

That night, Chu Xue carried Le'er to her couch, and fell asleep with her daughter in her arms.Ever since Xin Wan told Qiu Gui the news of her pregnancy, she knew that she had no way out. Day by day, it meant that the child in her womb was getting farther and farther away from her... With Leer by her side, she always had Can feel better.

When she woke up the next day, it was already the New Year. She dressed Le'er herself, and distributed red envelopes to the palace members one by one as usual.

Funing Palace.

All the concubines and the emperor's grandchildren arrived at the time of Chen, and they knelt and kowtowed when they got together, wishing the queen mother a happy life and a healthy life.

The queen mother raised her hand slightly, and everyone got up one after another, and when Feng Hong was sent down as usual, the female official Ning Yuan announced a decree for the queen mother before everyone left.

The queen mother decided to go to Jingtian Temple to pray for the emperor and the people for ten days from the fourth day of the new year to before the Shangyuan Festival, in order to hope that the war would end as soon as possible and the emperor would return safely.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.How can the empress dowager stay outside the palace for a long time with a body of ten thousand gold?
But after thinking about it, I can understand that the Queen Mother is the mother of the emperor. It is reasonable for the mother to miss her son and want to do something for her son. In addition, Jingtian Temple is a royal temple, and there is a courtyard for the royal family to rest and live in. It's suitable. Thinking about it this way, the queen mother's method is also feasible.

"The concubine is willing to go with the queen mother."

I don't know who started it first, but the same words sounded in the hall, and everyone spoke one after another, and they went to Jingtian Temple to pray together with the Queen Mother.

The matter of praying for blessings has always been the strength of the number of people. The Empress Dowager planned to bring more people. Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager showed a satisfied look and said: "You have filial piety and kindness. The Ai family is very pleased. But after all, it is to go Going outside the palace, if you all go out of the palace, it must be inappropriate, Aijia should just pick two people first."

In fact, the Empress Dowager had already planned in her mind, and she looked around at the crowd, and said: "Let Concubine Rong and Concubine Ning go with Ai's family first. The rest of you stay in the palace to pray for blessings as well. "

Everyone should be.

Of course there is some reason for the Queen Mother to choose Concubine Rong and Concubine Ning.

Concubine Wan is still under confinement, so it is impossible for her to leave the palace. The empress dowager doesn't like Concubine Li's ostentatious behavior at all, but Chu Xue is also well-behaved, but unfortunately she is pregnant. Just in case, the empress dowager decided to let her go Stay in the palace, and as for Xu Jinhe, the queen, of course she cannot leave the harem.

As a result, only Concubine Rong Li Jiaoyun and Concubine Ning Gu Pinmei were left.

Li Jiaoyun is calm and Gu Pin is obedient, it is most suitable to choose these two people to accompany them out of the palace. Although Jingtian Temple is a royal temple, it is no better than the palace after all, these two people can be taken out with confidence.

So as soon as the fourth day arrived, Li Jiaoyun and Gu Pinai accompanied the Queen Mother out of the palace and went to the Jingtian Temple that had been arranged.

After sending away the three masters in the palace at once, Nuo Da's harem was suddenly deserted, but Chu Xue knew that this superficial tranquility was actually brewing a huge storm.

After returning to the hall and closing the door, Chu Xue said to Ruyue Yanling: "I received a secret letter from the emperor a few years ago, and the victory in the northern border went smoothly. Our Qi army has already wiped out the leader of the Hu people, and the emperor is planning to return."

The two listened carefully, and she continued: "We must act before the emperor returns. In addition, the empress dowager's departure from the palace is already the best time for the other party."

Yan Ling endured and endured, and finally asked: "Master, have you really decided?"

Caressing the unformed child in her lower abdomen, Chu Xue sighed, but then spoke firmly.

She said: "There is no turning back, this time, it must be done!"
