There is a big sister in the harem

Chapter 172

The empress dowagers of the two palaces looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly turned solemn. Moxiu saw the empress dowager walking quickly to the shelf full of books, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at her.The man understood the meaning, turned around immediately, and looked elsewhere.

There is a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf. When Mo Xiu turned around again, he saw a man in black kneeling in the middle of the hall, covered in sweat.

The Empress Dowager had a bad feeling and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Return...return to the Queen Mother" the man's voice was choked with fear, "This subordinate went to the secret room today and found that the guard was injured. Huh, Queen Hurd is missing..."

"What!" The Empress Dowager Xi froze as if struck by lightning, "How could this be..."

"My subordinates have checked carefully. The entrance above was opened, and I walked up the long ladder. The wall that blocked Fengyi Palace was knocked down. There are still obvious footprints on the ground."

The Empress Dowager Dong wiped away her tears and was very shocked, "It's absolutely impossible, how could the authentic disk be opened? When it was cast, the craftsman who designed it clearly said it was a deadlock. Why, how could it..."

The Empress Dowager stroked her forehead with a headache, the corners of her brows were raised in pain, and her palms were clenched tightly.

"If you had listened to my words and executed her at the beginning, you wouldn't have the troubles of today." The Empress Dowager stood up anxiously and kept wandering in the same place. Empress Heard's must be the emperor."

"Okay!" The woman's voice was cold, showing impatience, "I thought that Queen Herd would be the most important pawn in our hands, but unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven."

After fighting the emperor for so many years, whether she wins or loses, she at least has a bottom line in her heart. If it is not a last resort, Queen Hurd is her reassurance.

"The matter has come to this, we should make another plan." Moxiu, who has been silent so far, said calmly, "The emperor rescued Queen Hede. The first thing to do is to find evidence and avenge his mother. Listen to what you said, this The so-called tunnel must lead to Fengyu Palace on one side and this one on the other, since the other end has been exposed, we must keep the underground one from being dragged in."

The Empress Dowager West tried her best to calm herself down. After drinking a sip of hot tea, she nodded in agreement, "You are right. Fortunately, the person disappeared just now. The Emperor will find out soon, and it will not be easy."

At this time, there must be no chaos. Even the slightest mistake may ruin their hard work for so many years and end up in a waste of all previous efforts.

The Empress Dowager thought about it secretly, and her eyes fell on the man in black, "You step back first."

"Yes." His tense nerves finally calmed down, and he got up with his legs and walked out.

Mo Xiu remained silent, and even stepped out of the way. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the hands of the Empress Dowager West that were slowly falling on top of her head. He took a step back and walked to the side of the Empress Dowager East.

The man's steps were hurried, the Empress Dowager took off the hairpin on top, the sharp silver ornament was hard and resolute, the woman flew towards him casually, piercing the man's throat directly, killing him on the spot.

"Those who know this secret way, except for us, none of us can stay." The Empress Dowager walked over, pulled out the hairpin stuck in the man's throat, put on the black clothes on his body, wiped off the blood stains and put them on again. On top of the bun.

Mo Xiu maintained a calm expression all the time, and the Empress Dowager Dong covered her nose with one hand, she seemed to be a little sick, her face was frighteningly pale, and her body was on the verge of falling.The man reached out his hand to hold her waist at the right time, patted her with his big palm a few times, and looked at the Empress Dowager with a little more defense in his eyes.

There was no sleep all night, and no one felt tired. It seemed like a long story that had been told all night.

"Jun Yue's mother has seen that child before, and it really doesn't have such aura." Queen Heard looked at Concubine Feng Yue, and then expressed concern, "However, how can Yue'er's identity be restored? She can't be allowed to bear it for the rest of her life." Other people's crimes, stay by your side like this without a name."

Concubine Feng leaned on Gu Yezi, this post was not what she wanted to fight for, "Mother, it's the same wherever I am, without the constraints of identity, I can always be by his side, and I can always be with him." Without the hassle of so much red tape."

Empress Hede was very pleased, and the emperor hugged her from behind, his chin resting lightly on her shoulder, "Yue'er, I owe you this."

Concubine Feng clasped his palm with five fingers, "Mother, if I hadn't been scruples at the beginning, it wouldn't have prevented you from seeing the light of day again until today."

"No." Queen Heard closed her eyes lightly, "Yue'er, you are a smart woman. In such a deep palace, you will not suffer, and only you can be worthy of him. Before you give your heart, all your choices All correct."

Concubine Feng smiled slightly, not for anything else but for her understanding, she was very lucky that Gu Ye had such a queen mother.

Eunuch Li reported outside that it was time for the morning court. The emperor looked excited and wanted to take this opportunity to announce to the world, "Queen Mother, I want to make you Empress Dowager He De."

"Little." The woman was extremely worried, "The title has always been discussed by the court. The queen mother is afraid that it is not that simple. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Now that you are the emperor, no one dares to do anything to me."

"You are my mother's empress, so naturally you are the empress dowager of Xuanchao." Gu Yezi insisted, unable to listen to a single word, "Yue'er, you don't have to go to court today, stay here with your mother's empress."

Concubine Feng saw him get up, and was about to see him off, when suddenly the mountain shook, and the entire Fengyu Palace was shaking.After finally standing firmly on her feet, she heard a violent sound of 'bang... bang...' coming from the ground, and the soles of her feet were numb and trembling due to the impact. Concubine Feng knelt down to protect Queen Hede so as not to She fell off the couch in shock.The palace guards guarding outside the palace came in one after another, with horrified expressions, "Your Majesty..."

It didn't take long for the hall to return to calm, and Gu Yezu, ignoring the presence of everyone, immediately opened the secret room and strode in.The people behind all followed and squeezed through the narrow and long corridor. The huge and empty secret room has now been filled with gravel, making it impossible to move an inch.Concubine Feng was full of surprise, Queen Heard could only helplessly shake her head, as if she had expected it.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces built such a secret room underground, so they naturally prepared a perfect plan. Now that the secret passage is discovered, they will destroy all the evidence as soon as possible, so that the emperor will not be caught.

Gu Yezi's face was horrifying, he didn't expect the other party to move so fast, "You actually used gunpowder in the palace, what did I raise you wastes for! It almost destroyed my Fengyu Palace."

"The emperor calm down, and the subordinates will definitely investigate thoroughly." The head of the guards paled in shock, and what was even more puzzling was how the gunpowder was transported into the palace.

The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily. The guards in the palace stayed behind to investigate. Concubine Feng Yue and Queen Heard looked at each other and followed closely behind.

The next day, the emperor issued an imperial decree, making Empress Hede the Empress Dowager of the Xuan Dynasty, and the main seat in the palace.

Official Mo Chen withdrew his hand, his face relaxed, "Back to the emperor, the empress dowager's body is fine, but she has been locked in a secret room for these years, and her body is a bit cold. I can prescribe a few prescriptions to recuperate."

The emperor felt a little relieved, Feng Feiyue was by the queen mother's side, and the imperial decree made the entire Xuan Dynasty a sensation, although there were some objections in the court, they did not dare to disobey the imperial order.

Official Mo Chen sat down, and before he finished writing the prescription in his hand, he heard a notification from outside. Ever since the harem learned of the news, the greetings from the concubines have not stopped.In one day, the high threshold was almost broken.

Concubine Feng raised her eyes and saw Shi Jieyu walking in. Beside her, Tao Xin was holding a prepared congratulatory gift in her hand. The woman quietly stepped forward, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and saluted one by one, "I have seen the Queen Mother."

The queen mother looked carefully, and saw that she seemed very different from the concubines who came before. She had a delicate face, and she was not deliberately dressed up. She also looked pretty, but her face was a little pale. People like it."

"Return to the Empress Dowager, my son Shi Jieyu." The woman's lips curled slightly, and she raised her head slightly, "It's my son's fault that I just came here to salute."

"No hindrance." The Empress Dowager bent down, supported her elbows and wrists with both hands, and signaled the woman to stand up, "there are always many rules in the harem, and the Ai family prefers to be quiet."

Shi Jieyu got up and took the congratulatory gift from Tao Xin, "Mother, I don't know what to prepare, this is the scented tea cultivated by my own hands, I just picked it this morning, and I specially sent it to my mother for you to try it out Uncovering the red velvet cloth, there were several exquisite porcelain pots inside, and different scented teas were carefully separated. After Shi Jieyu placed them one by one on the mahogany table, she also stepped aside.

The queen mother was very happy, the fresh and elegant smell lingered in her nostrils, which made her have a different impression of this woman, "Zi, why didn't the Ai family hear you mention that there is such a dexterous Jie in the palace?" Yu."

Gu Yexi was sitting beside the Queen Mother, his hand that used to prop up his forehead was replaced by a pillow on the table, his handsome eyes swept over the scented tea, and he looked at Shi Jieyu with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.The woman deliberately dodged, lowered her eyes, just stared at the ground, "Mother, you are not well yet, there will be plenty of time in the future."

The queen mother understood, nodded, and said no more.

"Ugh..." Shi Jieyu suddenly bent down, her pale face turned red from the pressure, she put her hands on her hips, and couldn't help retching.

"Mother, Your Majesty, are you... vomit..." Shi Jieyu didn't expect to lose her composure so much, Tao Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and patted her on the back considerately, "Shi Jieyu, what's wrong with you, It's been like this for the last few days."

The Empress Dowager didn't understand what was going on, so she got up immediately, with a caring tone, "Could it be that you are happy with this appearance? When Aijia was pregnant with the emperor, she also reacted like this."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was not the only one who was astonished, Concubine Feng's heart sank suddenly, she stared at Shi Jieyu's bent body, unable to react at all.Gu Yezi got up from the stool, his handsome face suddenly became dignified, and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.The woman couldn't help retching, and the tears flowed down uncomfortably. The queen mother's unintentional words hit her sore spot, and the tears became more and more uncontrollable.
