Concubine's true colors

Chapter 541
Abolishing Xue Yi's honor as the Queen Mother, taking off the other party's exquisite phoenix robe, in Xiao Jinxuan's understatement, the so-called Eastern Palace Queen Mother still no longer exists at this moment.

As for Zhou Xianrui, who had been listening quietly, he agreed with Xiao Jinxuan's words just now, and immediately escorted Zuo Wen and other palace officials to the Ministry of Punishment.

It's just that Zhou Xianrui frowned slightly when he heard that empress Xue was grounded in Fengxiang Palace, and felt that the punishment for placing the other party in this way was too light.

After all, according to Zhou Xianrui's original plan, after the person was stolen and the evidence of empress Xue's baby change was captured, he would be directly imprisoned in the sky prison and let the other party be with rats and ants every day.

It's actually no wonder Zhou Xianrui hated Empress Xue so much. After all, since Zhou Xianrui could remember, all he saw and heard was how Empress Xue bullied people in the Six Palaces, and persecuted his biological mother Chen's sinister tricks several times.

And after Zhou Xianrui became king, he began to participate in the discussion of government affairs, and here he saw how the Xue family of the prime minister's family dominated the imperial court.

Sometimes even his father's decision is difficult to implement because of the lack of support from the Xue family.

It was also from then on that Zhou Xianrui began to hate all members of the Xue family in the prime minister's mansion, and secretly made up his mind to eradicate this cancerous tumor in Da Zhou.

Even if these old grievances are put aside for the time being, Zhou Xianrui will never forget it in his life. The root cause of Emperor Ming's death due to the attack of Gu poison was the handwriting of Empress Xue.

Therefore, if Zhou Xianrui hadn't been self-disciplined and knew how to restrain himself, he would have wished to take Empress Xue's life now and avenge his father.

Therefore, he only imprisoned Xue Hou in Fengxiang Palace, and Zhou Xianrui felt extremely unwilling when he thought that the other party still had a comfortable environment to live in and a tall palace to stay in.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing aside, seeing Zhou Xianrui had finished giving other orders, she still hadn't imprisoned Xue Hou for a long time.

Feeling very puzzled, she couldn't help looking at the other party, and when she saw Zhou Xianrui staring at Queen Xue with murderous eyes, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but understand what the other party was thinking.

In fact, it's really strange to say that, despite Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu's hard work, not only did they come together, but they were extremely close to each other, treating each other as precious as treasure.

But if there is someone who understands Xiao Jinxuan's mind best and can be said to have a sympathetic heart with her, it is definitely Zhou Xianrui.

But whenever the two of them are together, whether it is thinking or cooperation, they are always extremely consistent.

Even like now, even if Zhou Xianrui only shows a little expression and demeanor, Xiao Jinxuan can guess the other party's thoughts and thoughts very quickly.

This kind of tacit understanding, which seems to be connected with each other, has nothing to do with feelings, as if the two of them were born with it.

It was so without the slightest deliberation, and the current state of getting along with each other was formed naturally.

And when Xiao Jinxuan saw why Zhou Xianrui was hesitating, she couldn't help getting closer to him, and then said in a soft voice:
"Your Majesty, I know that you hate Xue's family deeply, but don't forget that in the eyes of everyone in Dazhou, no matter what crimes Empress Xue committed, she is still your mother. If Your Majesty If you really put Mrs. Xue into the sky prison and spread the word, people in the world will only say that you have no filial piety, but they will not think that you are handling it impartially. But if Mrs. Xue commits a serious crime against the royal blood, you You can also leave the last trace of dignity to the other party, and only confine others without going to jail. The common people will definitely praise your virtuous and filial deeds, and you will definitely be more unanimously supported by the subjects of the Great Zhou. I don’t know how the emperor feels about Jinxuan This is rightly said."

Because the hostility towards Xue's family that had been squeezed in his heart for decades was too heavy, Zhou Xianrui, a calm person, was even on the verge of losing his normalcy just now.

But as soon as Xiao Jinxuan's words were clear and extremely considerate of the overall situation, she finished speaking.

Zhou Xianrui, who is gradually getting used to thinking about things from the perspective of a superior, immediately realized that he had lost his composure after being advised, and almost made a wrong decision.

He nodded gratefully to Xiao Jinxuan with a chuckle, and then Zhou Xianrui who already understood what he should do.

Immediately, he ordered Yu An, the chief steward who was with him, to take Empress Xue back to the bedroom and put him under custody, and never mentioned the matter of being held in the prison.

As soon as Empress Xue saw Yu An coming up with a few guards, two maidservants in the front palace stepped forward to forcibly help her away.

Xue Yi couldn't help but waved his arm to drive people away, and then raised his voice and said with unabated attitude:

"I will leave by myself in the future, and you slaves will cooperate with me. My Prime Minister Xue's family is not so easy to collapse, and I, Xue Yi, will wait quietly in the bedroom to see who laughs and who cries in the end."

In fact, all the people present at this meeting, seeing that Queen Xue was obviously in the end, but still so arrogant, couldn't understand where the other party's confidence came from.

But Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianrui, and Yongchang King Zhou Youchang were the only ones who didn't show any surprise.

Seeing Empress Xue laughing so confidently there, King Yongchang, who had been suffocated for a long time because of the other party's arrogance, couldn't help but said:
"Xue Yi, Xue Yi, the big wedding between you and the imperial brother was a royal dowry gift from the royal family in person at the prime minister's mansion. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, I didn't expect you to become what you are today. I know why you After a disastrous defeat, I still feel that I will not lose. The key is that the Xiangfu and the small kingdoms of Yeying have secretly made an alliance. You really think that my Great Zhou capital is covered by your Xue family, but in fact, we knew these things a long time ago. Before In a few days, Jinxuan sent three letters out of the palace, one of which invited me to sit in charge to suppress your identity as the empress dowager of the East Palace. The other was sent to the commander's mansion, asking Old Marshal Xiao to pay attention to the movements inside and outside the capital, and if there are unidentified soldiers and horses Be sure to intercept and kill when it appears."

Looking at Xue Houwen, after hearing this, a trace of paleness gradually oozes from the hard-to-laugh face. While seeing this, King Yongchang secretly relieved his anger, and continued to say:
"Jinxuan, this girl has been staring at you in the harem for several months, Xue Yi, you think that you have concealed everything about the private transmission of information with Osamu Fujiwara, who has congratulated Emperor Xianrui's nephew on his enthronement ceremony but has been refusing to return home. Man, in fact, Jinxuan has already grasped all this clearly. So she handed another letter to Xianyu, and now it is estimated that Fujiwara Xiu, the king of the Yeying Kingdom who lives in the inn, has become the prisoner of the boy. Imprisoned. So Queen Mother Xue, you have no reinforcements to wait for, so you should save that annoying laughter. If you have this time, you should think about the next days of confinement. It may be more practical and useful to think about how to survive Some."

Facing the final mocking meaning of King Yongchang's words, Xue Yi can't estimate it at all.

She thought that even if her harem was over, the prime minister's mansion would be wiped out immediately, but the reason why Xue Yi didn't panic was because in the deepest part of her heart, she always regarded Fujiwara Xiu as her last way out.

But now, this hole card that she thought she had hidden very well, and hadn't even used it yet, was unknowingly cut off.

Thinking of her complete defeat today, and no chance of recovery, all this was caused by the three letters Xiao Jinxuan sent out of the palace.

Immediately, Queen Xue, who was filled with shock and anger, and fell into despair, couldn't help but find it difficult to maintain her confidence and arrogance, and even trembled from anger all over her body.

She pointed to Xiao Jinxuan, her eyes widened and her lips parted as if she was about to say something.

But when everyone looked at Queen Xue's terrifying gaze, they were all guessing what kind of vicious and crazy words the other party would use to attack Xiao Jinxuan.

But at the next moment, everyone present saw with their own eyes that Queen Xue, who wanted to speak, didn't even have time to utter a single word.

A mouthful of blood that was forced out by the forceful anger was spurted out from the opponent's mouth a meter away, and Xue Hou leaned back no matter how hard it was to support, and fell into a complete coma.

Although Xue Yi was so angry that Xiao Jinxuan was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out, but a deposed queen mother did not cause panic and tension among the crowd.

And Yu An didn't delay for a moment, and ordered the guards to lift Xue Yi up, dragged Xue Yi like a corpse, and walked towards the bedroom where the feet were about to be grounded. Whether he would announce an imperial doctor to the other party afterwards, I'm afraid it didn't matter. It depends on Yu An's mood.

Thinking that Xue Yi had lived a life of honor and honor, and that she had lived a life of motherhood, but the final situation ended in such a dismal situation, and the embarrassment of being dragged away even made people feel desolate.

But after Xue Yi's figure completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, since the other party was grounded immediately, the entire Fengxiang Palace would also be locked, so idlers and others had to be cleared out.

After the midwife Deng and the others were settled properly, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at Zhou Xianrui who was at the side, and then looked at Xue Yuyan's bedroom and said in a questioning voice:

"Your Highness, the people who should be done now have already been taken care of, and all those who need to evacuate have been sent away. The turmoil in Fengxiang Palace tonight is finally over. I don't know if Concubine Xue who just gave birth in the dormitory is going to do it now. How to install."

Hearing these words, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but frowned slightly, and immediately turned his head to look to the right beside him.

All I saw was the baby boy who was held in Empress Xue's arms just now, not only was Su Qi picked it up and held him in his arms, but the baby was sleeping extremely soundly, looking very cute.

But although this child was born handsome, a trace of disgust flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes for no reason, and when he turned his head away unwilling to look, he said coldly:
"Let's go Jinxuan, didn't midwife Deng just say that Concubine Xue's pregnancy was different, and she advised me to deal with it properly before leaving, and don't let too many people enter the dormitory casually. Since this is the case, there is an emperor here to take care of the aftermath. There is nothing to worry about, Jinxuan, let's take this baby boy, and you go in alone with me. I also really want to see what shocking thing Xue Yuyan will give birth to after ten months of pregnancy. "
