Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 236 Step by step, the imperial concubine dies

Mallow was ingenious and skillful, combed Concubine Xiao's favorite cicada bun, put on heavy make-up, and put on gorgeous palace attire. Looking at it now, it is full of luxury and extravagance, and it is not as decadent and embarrassing as before.

Concubine Xiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction, and took Mallow's hands to look carefully, "I am very curious, you are young and have a calm mind, so why are your hands so clever?"

Mallow bowed her head and said respectfully: "It's not that the servants are too ingenious, but that the Shang Palace Bureau respects the empress and dare not send someone to treat the empress at will."

Concubine Xiao is the kind of person who likes to listen to good words, and when she heard the words, the smile on her face deepened a little.

In fact, Mallow's words and Concubine Xiao's praise have the same meaning, but they used the speaking skills to change the way of expression, and promoted Concubine Xiao to the supreme position that no one would dare to disobey, and achieved the effect of flattery.

Luo Lan has been in the harem for decades, so of course it was not for nothing. The "death" at the beginning was not lost to Xiao Mingxi. Contradictions, if the "demon queen" and the Luo family are not eliminated, it is impossible for civil and military officials and the queen mother to agree to make He Lianjin the crown prince, so at that time, Luo Lan had no choice but to follow Su Yan's arrangement. , died in front of everyone.

Now, since she has the chance to live again, she will naturally get back as much as she wants. Even if Xiao Mingxi was not the original mastermind, she has done many wicked things and deserves retribution.

Concubine Xiao half-closed her eyes in enjoyment, "Is the hair oil used today new? It tastes good."

Mallow nodded, "Hui Niangniang, she probably just arrived, and the maidservant smells good too!"

Actually no, the hair oil reacted with the thing in her palm, producing an extremely pleasant fragrance.

Concubine Xiao Huang stood up, looked at the food box on the table, "This, you brought it to me?"

"Yes, they are all the dishes that the empress loves to eat." Mallow paused for a moment, "This servant is willing to try the dishes for the empress."

Concubine Xiao raised her noble chin, "Go!"

Mallow walked over, first opened the food box and took out all the dishes inside, and then took a little bit of each dish inside with chopsticks into a small bowl, and then ate them all.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Mallow was safe and sound, Concubine Xiao went over to sit down.

In fact, she was very hungry for a long time, but in order to be cautious, someone had to try the dishes before she was willing to eat. After all, there were too many sluts in the palace who wanted to harm her. Why would she not do it?

After Concubine Xiao finished eating, Mallow immediately put away the bowls and chopsticks and put them back into the food box, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty is all dressed up today, are you going to see the Emperor? The servant girl will leave now."

"Seeing the emperor?" Imperial Concubine Xiao suddenly sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. The man imprisoned her in this Changxin Palace indiscriminately, and then transferred all the people around her away, resulting in the current Changxin. Gong has become a cold palace, do you think she doesn't know?In the current situation, how could she see the emperor as soon as she wanted to?

"Why, the empress doesn't want to see the emperor?"

Concubine Xiao Huang came to her senses, her face darkened, "Mallow, do you believe that I was wronged? I have never harmed anyone."

Mallow paused for a moment, "Maybe, can you tell the maid about what happened that day?"

It is easy for a person to trust a person who gives her favors casually when she is the weakest and most downhearted, especially the current concubine Xiao Huanggui, who doesn't even have a single person available around her, so naturally she regards mallow as all her trust And sustenance, even, she feels that Mallow now is equivalent to her reborn parents, because only Mallow can save her from fire and water.

Sitting down, Concubine Xiao told Mallow about the events of that day from beginning to end. Of course, due to the weakness of human nature, it was impossible for her to tell the truth about her intention to strangle the little prince. She only said that she was teasing The little prince was playing, and the queen mother came, and then misunderstood that she was going to murder the little prince, and the emperor didn't listen to her explanation, and put her under confinement without saying a word.

"Would you like to explain clearly in front of the Queen Mother in person?" Mallow asked.

"Can you help me meet the Queen Mother?" Concubine Xiao Huanggui became excited and looked at Mallow nervously.

"The servant has the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, but the servant is just a palace maid, and she speaks lightly. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to believe anything. Does the Empress have any tokens that can make the Queen Mother remember the old relationship?"

When Concubine Xiao Huang heard this, she hurriedly got up and searched in the bedside table, and finally took out a hairpin with a unique shape, "She gave it to me when my father died. I was only four years old at that time, and she was a queen." Compared with my embarrassment, there are two extremes, the difference between cloud and mud. I am very envious that she can have rich clothes and good food, regardless of honor, and I am very envious that she has a bunch of people following her no matter where she goes. Then she told me that when I grow up, she will let me be her daughter-in-law, and when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, I can be like her mother and get everything I want, but what?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Xiao laughed wildly at herself, "However, I have been waiting in this deep palace for decades, but she failed to fulfill her promise, and instead allowed her good son to pamper a fox charmer to the bone. The Empress Dowager, who must do what she says, told such a big lie to her niece, and then spent decades to fulfill this lie. In fact, Luo Bitch is dead. As long as she is willing to pass on a paper of imperial edict, I will immediately die. I can be in the middle palace, but how did she do it, watching me being slandered, being ignored by the emperor, and the middle palace declining before I am upright, she is going to consume me to death!"

There was a flash of understanding in Mallow's clear eyes.

No wonder she always wondered why the Empress Dowager wanted Xiao Mingxi to be a queen. She thought she really favored her niece, but it turned out she wasn't - the Empress Dowager is also a human being, and she would make mistakes. For the sake of Xiao Mingxi's pity, maybe it was just a momentary emotional emptiness and casual words, or maybe it was Xiao Mingxi back then who was really pleasing.But one thing is certain, in the next few decades, the Queen Mother will definitely regret it in her heart, but if she releases it herself, she must work hard to make it come true, otherwise it will be dishonest, and the Queen Mother's prestige will be wiped out .

Up to now, Xiao Mingxi's stupidity probably exhausted all the patience of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager didn't even have the heart to do ideological work for Emperor Yonglong while seducing Xiao Mingxi. Xi was imprisoned and ignored.

Mallow raised her head, her eyes fell on the hairpin, and her lips curled up.

Although the style is old, there is no denying that this is a weapon of revenge.

"This hairpin is really important." She acted joyfully, "If the empress dowager sees her, she will definitely remember the promise she made to her back then, and she will definitely be willing to see her."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui handed the hairpin to her, "Mallow, whether I can make a comeback or not depends entirely on you, as long as you can do this for me, I will be promoted directly when I am in the middle palace." You are a first-class female official, from now on, as long as I have this palace, I will protect your glory and wealth for a day."

"My servant kowtowed to thank my mother for her great kindness." Mallow immediately knelt down to thank her, sneering in her heart, glory and wealth?I want your life, can you afford it?

"Go! Pick a good time for the Queen Mother to see this hairpin. I am waiting for your good news."

"The slaves retire."

Putting on the food box, Mallow walked out of Changxin Palace.

When they returned to the East Palace, the crown prince and princess had already returned, but no one noticed that she had gone out, so she went to meet her face to face and was pardoned, then went back to her room to rest.

On the second day, the princess went out of the palace to meet the princess as usual, and when the prince went to court, mallow sneaked out again and found out that the queen mother would pass by the imperial garden. A small shovel digs the soil in the flowerbed.

"You lowly servant girl is so courageous, you don't say anything about moving the buildings in the palace at will, and you don't kneel down and salute when you see the queen mother? From that palace?" There was the scolding voice of the old mother beside the queen mother from behind.

Only then did Mallow turn around in a panic, kneeling on the ground in a hurry as if she had just discovered the arrival of the queen mother, "Servant, servant, please greet the queen mother."

The Queen Mother didn't say a word, she looked at the place she had dug, a small hole had been dug, and there seemed to be something inside, "What were you doing just now?"

"Servant, servant..." He said in a panic.

"Hesitating, there must be something weird, this old slave should go and have a look." As the nun said, she stepped forward and snorted coldly at the mallow, "If the Queen Mother sees something extraordinary later on, it will be a good fruit for you." eat!"

Mallow lowered her body even more, not daring to vent her breath.

After Mammy walked over, she took out the hairpin from the pit and presented it to the Empress Dowager.

When the queen mother saw it, her expression changed immediately, "Which palace are you from?"

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, the servant girl was originally the maid mallow sent to Changxin Palace by the Shang Palace Bureau. Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a fancy to the servant girl and asked the imperial concubine to ask for it. The servant girl is now working in the East Palace."

"Then where did you get this thing?" The Empress Dowager's voice was not angry and pretentious. If it was an ordinary little palace maid, she would have been frightened and trembling, but Mum Kui couldn't be frightened, so she could only pretend to be frightened and trembling. "The servant girl is grateful for the great kindness of the mother, and went to Changxin Palace yesterday to bring her the imperial meal. The lady asked the servant to help bury this hairpin in the imperial garden."

"What about the others?" The Empress Dowager frowned even tighter, "What else did the imperial concubine say?" She doesn't care about the fact that Mallow entered Changxin Palace privately to meet Xiao Mingxi, she just wants to know, Xiao Mingxi He also said something to the little palace lady, if he didn't say anything, then everyone would be happy, if he did, then the little palace lady wouldn't be able to stay.

"The imperial concubine said that it was a gift from a relative she trusted. That relative once promised her one thing, but she couldn't do it later, so now she is disheartened and sees nothing. , let the servants bury the hairpin."

Although Mallow's words are not long, but after careful scrutiny, she can find that she has put in a lot of effort. First of all, she has to pinpoint the person who gave Xiao Mingxi the hairpin. Yes, or if it was given by a very important person, then people would suspect that Xiao Mingxi had an affair with others at the first moment. After all, women like to think about men when giving hairpins, and Jin Aoi would be executed directly for this big crime of "slandering" without restraint.

And she is targeting "relatives", so even if there are a few people who have thoughts in that regard, they dare not say it. After all, they are relatives, maybe father, maybe mother, maybe relatives of which house, in short , The concept of "relatives" has been broadened, what mistakes can you pick to convict this little maid?

Moreover, this "relative" is not just a relative, she is also the most trusted by Concubine Xiao, who directly raised the image of the Empress Dowager in Concubine Xiao's mind to a supreme position, and then compared with the current " The act of "burying the hairpin" forms a strong contrast, and the first intuitive feeling is that the family member of Concubine Xiao Huanggui really hurt her, and made her extremely disappointed, so disappointed that she wanted to bury such an important hairpin .

The Empress Dowager's neck was a little choked up, and she took the hairpin and put it in her hand to look at it carefully, as if she had returned to the time when she made a promise to the little girl with clear and stubborn eyes who was full of distress and refused to admit defeat.

Speaking of it, decades have passed, and it seems that I have never really wanted to fulfill this promise, and it is even more impossible to fulfill it now.

Squeezing between her brows, the Empress Dowager held the hairpin tightly and told the nanny, "Go back to the palace."

Mammy was surprised, "Empress Dowager, what about this palace maid...?"

The Queen Mother glanced back at Mallow, who was still kneeling on the ground, "The Ai family will not pursue today's matter with you. After returning to the East Palace, work hard. If there is no order in the future, it is forbidden to step into Changxin Palace."

"The maidservant respectfully obeys the Queen Mother's order."

The Empress Dowager turned around and led all the palace people back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.And the fact that she would not choose to go to Changxin Palace at the first time is also in Mallow's prediction. The Queen Mother is not as brainless as Concubine Xiao. Doubt that the original owner of that hairpin was her?

It was precisely this point that gave Mallow the opportunity to complete her plan before the Queen Mother went to Changxin Palace.

-

It was night, with thunderstorms, high winds and heavy rain, the candlesticks in Changxin Palace were blown out, and the silver light of lightning came in through the window, splitting out hideous shadows, the wind was strong, and the door panels were blown loudly. The gust of wind seems to be able to tear down the door and rush in at any time.

Due to her illness, Concubine Xiao was so cold that she shrank her arms and legs, she managed to get off the couch, and was going to close the window before she walked into the hall, only to hear a "bang", and the door was suddenly opened.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui screamed reflexively, turned her head to look with anxiety and fear, but saw a black shadow standing outside, the night was too dark, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she could only barely see her with disheveled hair , like a water ghost just crawled out of the lake, the whole body is wet.

On a night of lightning and thunder, in this palace that was almost becoming a cold palace, the door was suddenly opened, and there were people standing outside, whether it was a human or a ghost, but any normal person would be terrified when he saw this scene, not to mention, Concubine Xiao Huanggui was ill, and she was confused by mallow's medicine for the past two days. This is the time when hallucinations are most likely to occur.

"You... who are you?" Imperial Concubine Xiao slumped on the ground and huddled into a ball, only when she opened her mouth did she realize that her voice had become hoarse and unpleasant at some point.

"I'm so cold..." The people outside spoke, and slowly stretched out their hands to Concubine Xiao Huanggui, "Okay, cold, ah—"

The Changxin Palace is empty now, and when the voices of outsiders come out, there will be an echo effect, which is even more terrifying

"You, don't come here!" Seeing the other party stepping into the door with wet bare feet, Concubine Xiao carelessly supported the floor and backed away, trembling all over.

At this time, another bright flash of lightning flashed outside the open window, which happened to reflect the face of that person.

Xiao Mingxi had been jealous of this face for 20 years, but tonight, she was only afraid.

"Luo Lan?!" Seeing that face clearly, Concubine Xiao's eyes were bulging out of her sockets, her face was pale and bloodless, and she let out a tragic scream.

Because it was not a human face, her eyes were turned white, her pupils were lifeless, and she just stared straight at you.

The phrase "It's so cold" was like a magic voice piercing the ears of Concubine Xiao.

"Ah--help! Help--there are ghosts, there are ghosts--" Concubine Xiao Huang cried out in fright, crawled and crawled into the corner, panting, "Luo Lan, I didn't kill you, it wasn't me , It's really not me...why did you come to me?"

Concubine Xiao Huanggui crawled under the table. She heard people say that as long as you hold your breath, the ghost will not be able to find you.

The whole person huddled into a ball, Concubine Xiao only had her eyes to look outside. From this angle, she could only see the "female ghost"'s dead white and wet bare feet getting closer and closer. Wherever she walked, she stayed there. The next piece of water stains.

Concubine Xiao Huang hurriedly covered her mouth, her palms trembling non-stop.

Finally, the "female ghost" made a detour when she got to the table, probably walked to the back. Concubine Xiao Huanggui didn't dare to look back, she just covered her mouth repeatedly to prevent her from breathing and was found by the "female ghost".

After not hearing anything for a long time, Concubine Xiao couldn't hold back, took the opportunity to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to see if she had left, at this moment, a hideous face suddenly hung down from the edge of the table above her head Come on, the lifeless eyes stared at her as before, and the ferocious and gloomy face directly stretched people's ability to bear to the extreme.

"Ahhh——" His eyes darkened, and Concubine Xiao Huanggui passed out.

-

Two days later.

"The emperor punished the imperial concubine for half a year. Is it inappropriate for the empress dowager to visit the imperial concubine before she even greeted the emperor?"

In Changxin Palace, the voice of the nurse next to the Empress Dowager is getting closer.

"How should I put it, the imperial concubine is also the niece of the Ai family, and she is usually fine, but now that she is seriously ill, the Ai family can't stand by and watch, right?"

The nanny didn't speak any more, she went ahead and knocked on the door, "Imperial Concubine, Empress Dowager is here to see you."

"Who?" In the inner hall, Imperial Concubine Xiao picked up the scissors, startled and trembling, not daring to open the door at all.

"The imperial concubine, it's the empress dowager!" Knowing that the imperial concubine was ill, the mother didn't force her to come out to greet her.

"Don't come in...don't come in!" Concubine Xiao Huang opened her eyes wide, staring at the door. She didn't dare to close her eyes, for fear that if she closed her eyes and opened them again, she would suddenly hang down a picture like that night. Grimacing, staring at her for a moment, such excitement, even if you kill her, don't do it again.

"Kick the door open!" The Queen Mother shouted impatiently.

The nanny lifted her foot straight up and put it on the door panel one by one.

To Concubine Xiao Huanggui's ears, it was a female ghost knocking on the door.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was only terrified by the scene that night, but her mind is still somewhat clear now, because the medicine that mallow used for her is only effective for a day or two.

This is also part of Mallow's plan, Xiao can't be really crazy, otherwise the following scenes will not go on.

Hearing that the door was about to be kicked open, Concubine Xiao didn't care, rolled out of bed, ran to the back of the door barefoot, and waited for someone outside to break in suddenly, without thinking, she closed her eyes and raised the scissors, slamming A pair of scissors pierced it.

……

"The Empress Dowager!"

"Call the doctor!"

For a while, the voices of the palace people came and went.

Concubine Xiao Huang opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that her scissors were poking the Queen Mother's chest, and bright red blood gushed out continuously.

And the queen mother, an old man, has already passed out.

"No, it's not me." Concubine Xiao Huang stepped back, her heels hit the threshold, and she fell into a seat.

The eldest mother of the Compassion Ning Palace kept a cold face, and told the little maid, "The imperial concubine Xiao murdered the empress dowager, go and report it to the emperor."

"Nurse." Concubine Xiao Huanggui became anxious immediately, if the emperor knew about this, she would definitely lose three layers of skin.

"Mommy, I really didn't do it on purpose." Concubine Xiao Huanggui knelt on the ground and grabbed the nanny's trouser legs to prevent her from leaving, "I didn't know it was you, I thought... I thought it was a female ghost."

"Female ghost?" The grandma laughed sarcastically, "I used to let you pretend to be crazy, but now you are really crazy—all of you, watch this crazy woman for me, and wait for the emperor to come and make a decision." After finishing speaking , kicked the imperial concubine Xiao away, and immediately sent the queen mother back.

After all, it was related to the life and death of the empress dowager of a country, and this matter quickly spread to every corner of the palace in the form of water waves.

The prince and princess hadn't recovered from the incident of Helian Shuang's premature birth, and the queen mother had another accident.

He Lianjin went to Yugan Palace at the first time, but heard that Emperor Yonglong had gone to Changxin Palace. He thought about it and ordered, "Show me your car and go to the Compassion Palace to see the Empress Dowager." The emperor is here, he will not release people casually, the most urgent thing is to first determine the safety of the empress dowager.

In Changxin Palace at this moment.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui is kneeling on the ground, the majesty of the superior is not something that a woman can casually comment on, no matter how arrogant and arrogant she is usually, the superior is the emperor who has the power of life and death. Once touched, no matter how high her status is, she must obey the order and die.

When she was going crazy, Xiao Mingxi had no brains, but when she calmed down, she knew how to assess the situation and knew that it was not appropriate to speak up at this time, so she kept kneeling all the time. Although she was a little tired, it was better than opening her mouth Just be damned.

This cold and stiff atmosphere has lasted for nearly half a stick of incense. Concubine Xiao Huanggui had no way of knowing what Emperor Yonglong was thinking, and she did not dare to look up. Now she is more afraid in her heart.

Eunuch Zhang has been standing by the side with his small eyes looking back and forth between Emperor Yonglong and Concubine Xiao. He couldn't help worrying in his heart. In the past, when the emperor dealt with other people, he was so straightforward. How could it be like today? He didn't say a word when he came in, but he drank two cups of tea one after another, but from the action of drinking tea, it can be seen that the emperor and his old man were quite angry.

Eunuch Zhang has been with Emperor Yonglong for decades, and his brain is good. He can see the essence of many things through the surface. In the current scene, the old man, the emperor, is planning to play psychological tactics with Concubine Xiao Huanggui!Although you don't need to think about it, you know that Concubine Xiao Huanggui will definitely become today's loser, but at this time, whoever speaks first will lose half of it first—of course, it cannot be ruled out that the emperor already hates Concubine Xiao Huanggui to the point that he doesn't even bother to say a word to her The point of talking.

The two masters didn't speak, but they scared the palace guards in the hall enough. Although there was no movement, it was more terrifying than any movement——Your Majesty, you old man squeaked!
In the end, Eunuch Zhang couldn't hold back anymore, coughed twice and approached Yonglong Emperor, "Well, Your Majesty, we've been here for a long time, shouldn't it be time to get into the topic?"

Emperor Yonglong paused while drinking tea, and knocked the teacup in his hand heavily on the small table. The sound of the fine porcelain hitting the Yingping wooden table made people panic.

With a sharp and cold gaze, he glanced down and settled on the top of Concubine Xiao's hair, "Xiao Shi, I've been here for a long time, so you don't have anything to explain?"

"Your majesty, concubine..."

"What do you call yourself?" Emperor Yonglong raised his eyebrows.

Xiao's whole body shuddered, and his teeth trembled a little, "At that time, the concubine really didn't know that the empress dowager was standing outside."

"So you can do anything to the Queen Mother at will?"

"My concubine's body... that's not what I mean by concubine. The emperor should have heard that concubine has recently suffered from a serious illness and hasn't recovered yet. She often has hallucinations at night. Something unclean came to harm me, so, so... Your Majesty, please trust the concubine, I didn't mean to attack the empress dowager."

"What nonsense!" Emperor Yonglong threw the teacup on the table without hesitation, and hit Concubine Xiao Huanggui directly on the forehead, and soon her skin burst into blood. She really wanted to wipe it off, but Facing Emperor Yonglong's cold gaze, he immediately went back cowardly, and could only endure it forcefully, almost biting his lower lip.

"Xiao Mingxi, do you really think that I am old and foolish, and you are the one to fool me?"

"The concubine dare not."

"I see you are very brave!"

"The concubine is just..."

"Enough!" Emperor Yonglong let out a roar that made the whole hall calm again, "Even if the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone murdering the Empress Dowager, Zhang Dahai, what crime is that?"

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, according to the law, the title of imperial concubine should be deprived, demoted to common people, and the whole family...exiled."

"This is when the Queen Mother is safe and sound." Emperor Yonglong glanced at Xiao Mingxi impatiently, "What if the injury is serious?"

"No, it's impossible!" Xiao Mingxi immediately became agitated, and without giving Eunuch Zhang a chance to convict, he defended first: "I just accidentally stabbed her, and it wasn't at a vital point, so it's impossible to cause serious injuries. Your Majesty, there must be someone who is trying to get in the way of this concubine's accusation."

Emperor Yonglong leaned back, "Eunuch Zhang, go get a pair of scissors, and accidentally stabbed our imperial concubine, I want to see on the spot, whether this careless knife can cause serious injuries, eh ?”

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Mingxi looked at Emperor Yonglong in disbelief, "This case has not yet been concluded, so the Emperor will execute him privately, which is against the law!"

Emperor Yonglong laughed coldly, "Then tell me, who am I?"

"You are... the emperor." She bit her lip.

"Say it again!"

Xiao Mingxi tightly closed his eyes, and said with a straight mind: "You are the lord of the common people who rule the world."

"Wrong, I am Wang Fa! If I want you to die, you will never live past tomorrow!"

The expression on Emperor Yonglong's face can almost be described as ferocious. The reason why he was angry was because the queen mother was injured, and the second reason was that when the Luo family committed crimes, the voices of crusade were louder than the sky. Now it's her turn to murder Such a big crime like the Empress Dowager just happened under the eyes of the Empress Dowager, under the eyes of so many courtiers in the Compassionate Ning Palace, but she still kept trying to excuse herself.In comparison, Lan'er was so stupid back then, she didn't even say a word to defend herself, and just knelt down to admit her mistake and committed suicide by taking poison.

Raising his hand to cover half of his face, Emperor Yonglong tried his best to suppress the violence and viciousness that was about to rush out in his bones.

Lan'er was indeed the most untouchable taboo in his heart, it hurt when he touched it, and when it hurt, he wanted to kill someone.

"Zhang Dahai, are you deaf?" The low voice really frightened Eunuch Zhang.

That one was even more difficult, and knelt down at the feet of Emperor Yonglong, "Your Majesty, slave, I dare not."

"Then why don't I take you to try the sword?"

Eunuch Zhang turned pale with fright, fell the whisk in his hand to the ground, hurriedly picked it up, took the scissors from the bamboo basket beside him, knelt down next to Xiao Mingxi and gestured to her a few times, but he still couldn't do it. , and looked at Emperor Yonglong, "Your Majesty, I don't know where to start."

Emperor Yonglong held his chin, looking like he was watching a play, "Whatever you like, as long as you're happy."

This "casually" worried Eunuch Zhang, his back was covered with cold sweat, and his underwear was completely soaked.

"Eunuch Zhang!" Xiao Mingxi looked at Zhang Dahai, lowered his voice, with hatred on his face, "If I hadn't supported you back then, you would still be a dog of the Imperial Prison!"

It's okay not to mention this matter, but once mentioned, all the anger in Eunuch Zhang's heart was aroused by her, and he still has the face to mention the past?At the beginning, Xiao Mingxi wanted to harm Empress Luo, but in the end he was exposed, and he was pushed out to cover most of the crimes. But it was not Xiao Mingxi who promoted him in the end, but Empress Luo. From then on, he Surrendered to Empress Luo, and has never betrayed a single bit so far.

Speaking of which, the reason why the emperor reused him was also because Empress Luo liked him.

It can be said that whatever Empress Luo likes, even if it is a pile of shit, the emperor will offer it with a gold inlay.

Without Empress Luo, there would be no Zhang Dahai, the head of the imperial court who made many people envious, jealous or even flattering today. Therefore, why did Xiao Mingxi come to claim credit at this time?She is eligible?

Raising the scissors, Zhang Dahai stabbed Xiao Mingxi's arm almost with the mentality of avenging the empress.

"Ah—" Xiao Mingxi's tragic cry of pain brought Emperor Yonglong back from a doze, and he frowned, "Zhang Dahai, why are you so careless?"

"The slave is guilty." Eunuch Zhang immediately threw the scissors and kowtowed to plead guilty, "Please punish the emperor." It is a pleasure to avenge the empress.

"Are you so careless?" Emperor Yonglong pointed at Xiao Mingxi's arm, "I didn't even see the blood, do you think I'm blind?"

"This..." Eunuch Zhang looked at Xiao Mingxi in embarrassment. In fact, a lot of blood had already flowed from her arm, plus the one on her forehead, it looked very creepy... Well, the old man is the emperor. He deliberately pretended to be invisible, but he couldn't let him pick up the scissors again, right?
"Your Majesty." Xiao Mingxi burst into tears, full of hatred, "I didn't expect me to have such a worthless position in your heart, you are so cruel." I didn't know before, I always thought that he would spoil Luo even more. Lan, there is always one or two thoughts on himself, even if it is for the empress dowager's face, he should have, but now he gave himself to the eunuch as a plaything?This humiliation is unforgettable in this life!
"My concubine thinks too highly of me." Ridiculous, in my heart?She had never seen it before, she really dared to think about it.

"Your majesty, they say that you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Even if you don't like the concubine's body, you should treat the concubine lightly for the sake of giving birth to a daughter for you."

Emperor Yonglong thought this was ridiculous, "Empress Luo also gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters, why didn't you let me treat her lightly?"

Xiao Mingxi choked.

After arguing for a long time, Emperor Yonglong lost his patience, and directly ordered, "Eunuch Zhang, pass on my will. From now on, the title of imperial concubine will be revoked, the seal of phoenix will be taken back, and she will be demoted as a commoner. She will temporarily live in the cold palace and choose a day for her death. "

Zhang Dahai stood up, raised his chin, and looked down at Xiao Mingxi, "Xiao Shi, thank you!"

Xiao Mingxi refused to accept, and became furious, "Your Majesty, do you really want to be so heartless, Your Majesty?"

"Xiao Mingxi, I won't attack your Xiao clan, it's because of the Empress Dowager's face, now I'm tolerant enough to let you take the lives of a whole clan, if you still want to excuse yourself, you will end up in the end." It will be even worse, if you don’t believe it, just try it.”

The last few words were almost spoken through gritted teeth, and there was countless cruelty in the tone.

Xiao Mingxi shivered unbearably, but was escorted to the cold palace by the palace guards pouring in from outside.

Emperor Yonglong was a very vigorous and decisive person, he didn't like long nights and dreams, so yesterday he decreed to deprive Emperor Xiao of the title of Noble Concubine, and today he ordered people to prepare dove wine, white silk and daggers.

"The Queen Mother is still in a coma, so I will be more lenient and leave the whole body of Mrs. Xiao as a blessing to the Queen Mother. Go ahead and let her choose her own way of death."

For Emperor Yonglong to do this, the ministers of the previous court did not dare to object. Murdering the Empress Dowager is such a serious crime, and the family is not implicated, but death is already a mighty grace.

Eunuch Zhang took the two young eunuchs to Lenggong, and when they were halfway there, the three of them were knocked out and dragged into the fake cave. After a while, three people wearing eunuch costumes came out of it.

The leader held a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and the two father-in-laws behind him, one of them was empty, and the other was holding a tray, which was still filled with dove wine, white silk and imperial decree.

The three of them came to the cold palace all the way.

When Xiao Mingxi heard the movement, he hurried out to look. When he saw the tray in his father-in-law's hand, he was so frightened that his limbs went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Xiao Shi, accept the order!" the leader Gong Gong said.

When Xiao Mingxi heard that the voice was wrong, she immediately became vigilant, staring at the father-in-law who was speaking, "You are not from Yugan Palace, who are you?"

The father-in-law twitched his mouth, turned his head and gave the two behind him a wink, and the two immediately went out to watch out.

The father-in-law who stayed in the hall stretched out his hand, took off his hat, and then pulled out the hairpin that bound his hair, and his black and bright blue hair immediately spread out.

"Ah—ghost, ghost—"

Xiao Mingxi immediately screamed, but it's a pity that this is Leng Gong, if she shouted out her throat, no one outside would hear her.What's more, Su Yan's people cleared the venue all the way Luo Lan came, and now there is not even a gatekeeper in this cold palace, who is she calling for?

Seeing that Concubine Xiao had been hiding in the dark, Luo Lan stepped forward, grabbed her by the back of the neck and turned her back, and smiled coldly, "Xiao Mingxi, look clearly, I'm not dead yet!"

"Impossible!" Xiao Mingxi retorted loudly, as if he could only embolden himself by yelling, "That bitch Luo Lan died a long time ago, you can't be her, who the hell are you?"

Luo Lan squatted down and smiled slightly, "Yes, the former Luo Lan is indeed dead. In front of you is the palace maid Mallow who waits for you to change and eat every day, my imperial concubine, has it been so long that you Haven't you ever had a little doubt?"

Xiao Mingxi was dumbfounded, "What did you say?"

Luo Lan's smile deepened, "Although I'm not happy being your servant, I feel very happy sending you to this step."

Xiao Mingxi only came to his senses at this time, suddenly his eyes were tearing apart, wishing he could swallow Luo Lan alive, "You bitch, how dare you bully the emperor, I'm going to tell the emperor!"

"I hope you can go too, but you are going to die!"

Luo Lan picked up the dagger in the tray, dipped it in some dove wine, and slashed Xiao Mingxi's face without hesitation, "Tsk tsk, look, the knife bestowed by the emperor is sharp. It was cut through with one cut." He blew on the blood on it, and then cut the other half of his face again.

"Luo Lan, you bitch, you're going to die!" Xiao Mingxi rolled on the ground in pain, cursing non-stop.

Luo Lan put down the dagger, picked up the white silk and stood behind Xiao Mingxi, quickly squeezed it into her neck, and then tightened it up little by little, "Whether I will die or not , but I'm sure you will die before me."

Her throat was completely strangled, and Xiao Mingxi's face was instantly congested with blood, and she couldn't breathe. She turned her head with difficulty, and stared at Luo Lan's face with wide eyes. She wanted to pick up the dagger on the ground and slash this face. It's rotten, but she can't do it, her breathing is disappearing bit by bit, she doesn't even have the strength to open her mouth to speak, her tongue keeps sticking out, she is so uncomfortable, her hands and feet are constantly struggling, but there is still nothing left. A last word, breathless.

Luo Lan let go of her, put the white silk back in place, tied her hair up again and put on the little eunuch's hat, and stood in front of Xiao's corpse with cold eyes, "Xiao Mingxi, if you can be your own imperial concubine , don’t think of harming others, I can tolerate you and even the existence of so many women in the harem, if you insist on sending me to your door to seek death, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

After finishing speaking, the two people who came in earlier, it was Xiao Mu and another hidden guard, clasped their hands respectfully and said: "Madam, it's not too late, let's go quickly, Master Jiu said, from now on you don't have to Put on a human skin mask, he will arrange another residence for you, and when the time comes, he will naturally let you see the emperor."

"Thank you." Luo Lan nodded without hesitation, and followed Xiao Mu and the others out of the palace quietly as eunuchs.
