Concubine's true colors

Chapter 513 Using Love as Bait
Upon hearing this, the palace servants panicked, and anxiously reported that Xiao Jinxuan had arrived, and had already entered the gate of Fengxiang Palace, and might forcefully barge into the main hall at any time.

Immediately, Osamu Fujiwara recalled Empress Xue, who had a rare gentle face, and her thoughts were interrupted immediately.

Seeing that Empress Xue not only immediately withdrew the hand held by Osamu Fujiwara, ignoring the injured eyes of the other party, but then she glared at the palace man who came in to report the letter, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly:
"A concubine Xiao is just a mere concubine, so why panic when she comes. The other party has punished many maids and servants in Fengxiang Palace in the past few months. According to this book, it seems that the courage of you slaves has been frightened by the other party. I want to see how presumptuous this Xiao Jinxuan is going to be in my palace, let him come in immediately."

When facing Empress Chen and Shen Wenqing, Empress Xue didn't even show up, she just asked the palace servants to send them away, and even the other party couldn't come in at the door of Fengxiang Palace.

But I heard that now the person standing outside was replaced by Xiao Jinxuan, don't look at Queen Xue angrily scolding the palace servants, her expression is calm without a trace of panic.

But deep in her heart, there was a sense of powerlessness.

Because she knew clearly and simply that she couldn't stop Xiao Jinxuan at all, relying on the other party's methods, there were some ways to come in openly.

Therefore, she was even more unable to step down when the time came, so Empress Xue had no choice but to take the initiative to let Xiao Jinxuan enter her main hall.

After all, in the past few months, Xiao Jinxuan has been suppressing the influence of Queen Xue endlessly, and the palace maids and eunuchs of Fengxiang Palace are the objects of attention.

Therefore, the people in Fengxiang Palace were always taken away by Xiao Jinxuan with various excuses from time to time, and most of them never returned.

Therefore, people in Fengxiang Palace are most afraid of Xiao Jinxuan, and Empress Xue knows this very well.

In order to stabilize these people who are loyal to her, she must first be stable and not afraid to confront Xiao Jinxuan head-on, so that she can give confidence to those who are willing to cling to her.

And seeing Empress Xue's calm and composed appearance, Shicai panicked and thought that Xiao Jinxuan was a maid who came to Fengxiang Palace to pick someone up, so she felt more at ease unconsciously.

Immediately, a look of conviction flashed in his eyes, and he bowed down and followed the instructions.

But when there was no one else in the hall, Empress Xue's calm expression disappeared, and then she showed a helpless wry smile, and then said with emotion as if mocking herself:
"Mr. Fujiwara, you can see it now. After forcing the palace to usurp the throne and failing, not only my mother's family's Xiangfu was in a slump, but its vitality was severely damaged. Even the empress himself was walking on thin ice in the palace, being bullied by a little concubine girl. But it’s hard to turn over. Sometimes I don’t know when this humiliating life will end, and I even thought about dying in the future.”

Having said that, Empress Xue even took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

I am used to seeing the cold-blooded and ruthless side of Queen Xue, whose expression is always as calm as water, and whose methods are quite ruthless. Now the helplessness suddenly revealed by the other party actually makes me feel a little more pitiful.

Especially for Osamu Fujiwara, who had never let Empress Xue go from his heart in his whole life, after the other party's sad side was revealed, his heart was almost crumpled into a ball.

Therefore, it can be seen that Fujiwara Osamu did not even hesitate at all, and immediately said with a resolute bloodthirsty flash in his eyes:
"Yi'er, you are as precious as treasure in my eyes. Seeing you cry is a thousand times more painful than cutting out my heart. Tell me what I can help you, no matter what I do for you , I, Osamu Fujiwara, will do it for you even if I do my best."

Although Yeying is a small country, the power and status held by Osamu Fujiwara naturally cannot be compared with the deceased Emperor Ming.

But even so, Emperor Ming never said to Empress Xue what Osamu Fujiwara said to exhaust the power of the whole country.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Xue Yi at this meeting to say that there is no slight touch in his heart.

Thinking back decades ago, she finally chose to become the Queen of the Great Zhou, but left behind Osamu Fujiwara, a man who might give her the love of her life.

If time could be turned back, Xue Yi couldn't help asking herself, maybe she wouldn't be sacrificing herself for the sake of her family, let alone be tempted by Da Zhou Feng.

Being able to stay with someone she loves for the rest of her life, maybe she doesn't have to live in endless calculations and plans today.It became unrecognizable, and lost the innocence and kindness of the past.

However, Empress Xue, who knows that there is no medicine for regret in this world, after suppressing the throbbing in her heart towards Ou Fujiwara, she immediately said with a choked voice:

"Now this empress is indeed isolated and helpless. If Fujiwara-kun is willing to help. If one day I, Xue Yi, can really control the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I would like to use half of the country as a thank you gift to Yeying, and I will be with you forever. After all, regardless of the relationship between the allies, you and I are in love after all, and if there is a chance to make up for the regrets of the past, I will be extremely happy in my heart."

Although Xue Hou's words were not clearly stated, Fujiwara Osamu couldn't tell that the other party still had feelings for him.

Immediately, he traveled thousands of miles, disregarding his own safety, just to come to Dazhou and see Fujiwara Xiu with his own eyes. He was immediately encouraged and said immediately:
"Yi'er, don't worry, although Ye Ying can't compare with Da Zhou, but we have a covenant with each other as a small country next to us.

As long as you need troops, I have the confidence to persuade the countries of the covenant to gather soldiers to Dazhou to support you, and I can also leave the two hundred accompanying warriors I brought to help you. "

Empress Xue is now dormant in the harem, it's not that she doesn't want to make a comeback, it's just because after Zhou Xiantai's death and the great reduction of the Prime Minister's power, she is no longer available.

In addition, the Xiao family's 10,000+ army is stationed in the outskirts of the capital, what Empress Xue lacks most now is enough manpower to cope with all this, and Fujiwara Shushi's military support is exactly what she wants.

Therefore, it can be seen that Xue Hou changed his indifference at the beginning, and not only smiled gratefully at Osamu Fujiwara, but then said in a voice that could not hide his dependence:

"In this way, Fujiwara-kun, the future safety and future are in your hands. You can make arrangements now, and I will definitely notify you when the time comes. As for today, you should leave first. Regardless of her young age, Xiao Jinxuan is extremely difficult to deal with. She came here in such a hurry, it must be because she knew you were here. Now is not the time to have a showdown with the other party, so Fujiwara-kun can't stay with me for long now This is to avoid the other party becoming suspicious, and the situation will only become more unfavorable."

If Xiao Jinxuan was a big civet cat that was put into the harem, then Empress Xue is now a rat that she is staring at.

This kind of frustration and powerlessness, like facing a natural enemy, sometimes even made Queen Xue so annoyed that she wanted to shout hysterically to vent.

And Xiu Fujiwara, who saw that Empress Xue was in a difficult situation, was actually at Zhou Xianrui's enthronement state banquet that day.

When Xiao Jinxuan dealt with the congratulatory storm in a few words, he knew that the other party was not a simple character.

Therefore, Osamu Fujiwara specially investigated Xiao Jinxuan after the incident, but when the other party's great achievements in the past were reported to him by his subordinates one by one.

Even if Fujiwara is the monarch of a country, he can't help but be stunned. He can't even imagine that Xiao Jinxuan, a mere concubine from the commander-in-chief's mansion, would stir up the situation in the capital by herself.

Therefore, even though Fujiwara Osamu anxiously wanted to see Empress Xue alone, he did not act out of fear of Xiao Jinxuan.

Until he, who has been paying close attention to the movement of the Great Zhou Palace, learned that the other party left the palace today to return to the commander's mansion for the funeral.

That's why Fujiwara Osamu took this opportunity to meet Empress Xue, but he didn't expect Xiao Jinxuan to turn back so quickly.

There was no need for Empress Xue to remind him, and Osamu Fujiwara, who had long regarded Xiao Jinxuan as a dangerous person, naturally knew that he could not stay here for a long time.

I know that although Fengxiang Palace is big, Xiao Jinxuan will definitely come here soon.

Therefore, after Fujiwara Osamu told Empress Xue to take good care of himself, he was there to reinforce the army, so he didn't have to worry about it, so he got up and left immediately.

Zuo Wen, who had been standing on the right side of Queen Xue after Fujiwara Ou's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the main hall, couldn't help saying with a strange look in his eyes:

"Empress Dowager, excuse me for being ignorant of what you said just now, why some of you didn't quite understand it. Although you and Lord Ye Ying do have some old feelings, considering the master's status today, it is impossible for the two of you to have a good relationship with each other a while ago. The opportunity of fate. Zuo Wen knows that as a servant, she should not be your master. But the servant girl is really worried that the master has gone the wrong way. If there is any offense and arrogance, Zuo Wen is willing to accept the punishment without complaint .”

Looking at Zuo Wen who was kneeling on the ground after saying this, unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Empress Xue raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, then helped her to stand up herself.

After Xue Hou nodded in satisfaction and stared at Zuo Wen for a long time, she said with satisfaction and emotion:

"Nowadays, Zuo Wen is the only person who dares to tell the truth in front of this empress and who is sincerely thinking about me, Xue Yi. You arranged to serve by my side, and the Xiangfu continued to give you many things that can help me. It can be said that this empress can go all the way to today, and it is inseparable from your loyalty to help. So in my In front of you, you know that you can say everything, and I will never blame you in the future."

After saying this, Zuo Wen was moved and even burst into tears. Empress Xue not only smiled and handed her brocade handkerchief to the other party, but continued:

"As for the matter you just mentioned about Osamu Fujiwara, don't worry. I have been able to go all the way to the present, and I have long seen that love is the most unreliable thing. There is no sincere and unswerving love in this world, Fujiwara Osamu His obsession with me is only because we were not together at the beginning, and his persistence stems from a kind of unwillingness and regret. The reason why I would cry in front of the other party just now is to describe my situation as extremely difficult. But it is based on Love is used as bait to ask the other party to send troops to work for me. When Xue Yi takes control of this great country, let alone a mere Fujiwara Osamu, I will not pay attention to Yeying as a whole. In the future, you can grasp the proportions well, Zuo Wen, you can rest assured."
