Concubine's true colors

Chapter 552
Xiao Jinxuan forcibly put down the abandoned Empress Dowager Xue Yi who was hanging in the air. Now she saw the Empress Dowager Chen standing beside her.

At this moment, Empress Chen, who was already extremely bored with Xiao Jinxuan in her heart, met the other party's extremely disrespectful eyes, and immediately the empress dowager, like an oil barrel that was on fire, suddenly became angry. .

"Xiao Jinxuan, you are too presumptuous, and you still don't kneel down to the Ai family. The abolished Empress Xue is a heinous person in Dazhou, so why not punish the Ai family to her. Although Xianrui did hand over the execution of the other party today It's up to you to handle it, but the Ai family is now the empress dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and can even participate in the political affairs of the previous dynasty as appropriate. You, a mere harem concubine, dare to stop the person the Ai family wants to punish, you are really kind Big guts."

Facing Empress Chen's unstoppable questioning, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Xue Yi, who was finally relieved from the intensive whipping, unexpectedly said with unabated air after chuckling a few times:

"The only empress dowager in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Concubine Liang, concubine Liang, you are able to climb to this position because you have two capable sons, but it is definitely not because of your own ability. Now the empress dowager The loss of power is definitely not at your hands. It is because I, Xue Yi, is not as skilled as others, and I lost to Xiao Jinxuan by a short move. And now that you are a villain, you are really ridiculous when you come to make things difficult for me. With your appearance, you dare to call yourself a queen mother, even if you are a concubine, you will never be on the stage."

No matter what kind of environment a person is in, the tolerance and dignity cultivated by a person in a high position all the year round should not be underestimated.

This is the case with Xue Yi, the current abolished queen mother, who has been the mother of the country for decades, even if she is indeed gone now, she can no longer even compete with the more noble queen mother Chen.

But Xue Yi, who has been a queen all her life, in her eyes, Chen is still the good concubine who dormant under her power, shivering and can only choose to endure, and she has never even put her eyes on her.

As for Empress Chen, when she heard about Xue Yi's current status, she still sneered at her, especially the contempt in the other party's eyes. This made her even more annoyed and angry when she was promoted to empress dowager as a concubine.

Therefore, it can be seen that in front of Xue Yi, there will always be a Empress Dowager Chen who can't hold her head up and feels pushed down.

Even though she was ridiculed by Xue Yi just now, Empress Chen was not confident enough to confront her head-on.

On the contrary, she immediately pointed at Xiao Jinxuan, reprimanded quite imposingly:

"For a person whose harem has been abolished, Xiao Jinxuan's majesty has been damaged by this empress dowager, and she has been arbitrarily humiliated by this tricky woman. Doesn't it make you feel very happy to see it? Xiao Jinxuan, I don't think you have a good heart and don't want to abolish the empress dowager to be punished. You did it on purpose just to make things difficult for Ai's family, your intentions are really vicious."

Even if Xiao Jinxuan was secretly targeted by Empress Chen before, it turned into a face-to-face embarrassment later on, but she cared about the past goodness of the other party, and for the sake of being the empress mother who has cared for Zhou Xianyu.

It can be said that she can endure as much as she can, avoid as much as she can, and try not to have any conflicts with the other party.

But as the last time in the Buddhist hall, Empress Chen not only wanted to kill Zhuxin with a stick, but also asked the guards to attack her. After Xiao Jinxuan woke up from that coma, she had completely alienated her from her heart.

And because the two of them deliberately avoided each other before, they have lived in peace until now.

But seeing that the Empress Dowager Chen made a mistake in using lynching, but because of Xue Yi's sarcasm, all the anger was thrown at her.

Xiao Jinxuan, who is now doing her utmost to Chen Houren, and has reached the point where she can't bear it anymore, this time she doesn't dodge anything, her indifferent expression remains unchanged, and she asks sharply in her mouth:
"The empress dowager keeps saying that she is the empress dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so please return to the palace immediately and set an example of virtue in the six palaces, not to torture a dying person here. And the matter of abolishing the empress dowager, Your Majesty has entrusted this concubine with full responsibility. How to execute her will not bother the Queen Mother, Jinxuan will handle it properly. Even if you are the Queen Mother, you should not step on it casually. If this matter spreads to the previous court, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will really gain a reputation for being rude."

This Empress Dowager Chen has been up and down in the harem for many years, and she did not have outstanding brains and strategies to get to where she is today, relying on patience and indomitable spirit.

Therefore, with Xue Yi and Xiao Jinxuan's sharp tongue, she couldn't handle it alone.

Now that the two were fierce rivals fighting together, apart from being speechless and blushing when forced to question, Empress Chen couldn't even make a decent retaliation.

And seeing Empress Chen standing in the prison in embarrassment, she didn't want to leave, and she didn't look like she didn't leave.

If it were the same as before, Xiao Jinxuan would definitely give each other a step, so that they would not be too rigid.

But Xiao Jinxuan was not the kind of Ni Bodhisattva who was always tolerant. She hated Empress Chen more and more now, so even if the other party was Zhou Xianyu's adoptive mother, she didn't intend to give her face.

Therefore, it can be seen that Xiao Jinxuan directly left Empress Chen aside, and even started to deal with Xue Yi's execution without even looking at him.

First, he ordered Li Dao to hand over the prepared poisoned wine, Bai Ling and the dagger to Xue Yi.

Then Xiao Jinxuan ordered someone to call for clear water, and placed a set of dark red empress dowager court clothes prepared in advance in front of Xue Yi.

Then Xiao Jinxuan soaked the towel in clear water and wrung it dry, and handed it to Xue Yi herself.

"Ms. Xue, clean up your face before the execution. I also brought your favorite queen mother's court dress. You can wear it on the road in a while. As for how to die, I will let you go in three ways." You choose, and there is only so much I can do for you. Although you have made enemies against me several times, and even my life, Xiao Jinxuan, almost died at your hands many times. But at the end of the day, I still have to say, in fact, you There is a lot of trouble in the court and harem because of a woman. Although I, Xiao Jinxuan, hate you to the bone, I have to admire you."

Xiao Jinxuan's words can be regarded as words from the bottom of her heart, after all, they are often enemies of life and death, but on the contrary, they will have complex emotions of sympathy, fear and appreciation.

In fact, not only did Xiao Jinxuan feel this way about Empress Xue, but before Xue Yi lost power, she would often say that Xiao Jinxuan was very similar to her when she was young.

In fact, the reason why Empress Xue felt this way was because this woman who had been arrogant and arrogant all her life had long admired and recognized Xiao Jinxuan deep in her heart.

Therefore, Xue Yi, whose time is approaching, has honored her whole life, death is not such a terrible thing for her, and she can face it calmly with her mentality.

That's why Xue Yi smiled at Xiao Jinxuan with a very peaceful mind, took the handkerchief and wiped his face and hands, and then calmly put the phoenix robe on his body.

After all this was done, Xue Yi couldn't help looking at the three objects that ended her life, and finally she took the poisoned wine in her hand.

After all, she was about to die, no matter how calm Empress Xue was, after all, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before calming down her agitated emotions.

When she opened her eyes full of the vicissitudes of time again, Xue Yi couldn't help but smiled slightly and raised the poisoned wine in her hand, saluted Xiao Jinxuan, and then said with her red lips lightly:
"Xiao Jinxuan, I, Xue Yi, even Emperor Ming could do nothing to me in my life, but in the end I lost in your hands. However, I was convinced after the defeat. It's just that people are about to die, and their words are kind. It depends on your willingness. For the sake of giving Ben a decent way to die later, I, Xue Yi, also advise you. Since you have no intention of a harem, you should stay away from right and wrong as soon as possible. You must know that the most fickle thing in this world is the human heart, and the most ugly thing is human nature. Rights, Desire and status will change a person beyond recognition, and I, Xue Yi, is one of them. If Xiao Jinxuan can do it, I advise you not to follow in my footsteps. This road is too tiring and ruthless. For me, it’s not a relief.”

In the harem, for the prosperity of her mother's Xue family, for the endless rock climbing to the pinnacle of power.

In fact, what Xue Yi said was right, even if she was exhausted, she couldn't stop on this road, otherwise what awaited her would be merciless attacks from political enemies.

Therefore, in order to live a better life, Xue Yi must deal with those who hinder her one by one.

Now her footsteps have finally stopped, and after drinking a glass of poisoned wine, she will also be able to sleep forever, instead of struggling in the endless whirlpool of power.

Regarding Queen Xue's heartfelt advice, Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been tough and strong after her rebirth, actually sometimes she is very similar to Xue Yi in some aspects.

Therefore, the helplessness of the other party and the bitterness hidden behind the ruthlessness, now that Xiao Jinxuan has more and more power, she actually has more insights and understanding than others.

Therefore, at the last moment when Xue Yi was about to die forever, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help letting go of her past grievances, and said with a gentle smile:

"Your Majesty's point today, Jinxuan will definitely keep it in mind. I will take you as a warning in the future, and I will never lose my heart. Now, Empress Xue, it's time for you to go on the road. Jinxuan Xuan bid farewell and send you off, I hope you have a good journey."

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she immediately kowtowed to Xue Yixing's court ceremony.

After all, Xue Yi, who is about to die now, no matter how sinful the things she did in the past, or how much bitterness and helplessness were mixed in.

But it is undeniable that Xue Yi's life was at the pinnacle of glory, and her deeds of strength and power will not be forgotten with her death.

Even if the other party is a woman, she will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books that belongs to her alone, so Xiao Jinxuan feels that it is not an exaggeration to give the other party the highest standard of salute on this final parting.

But following Xiao Jinxuan's kowtow, there was no one in the dungeon except Empress Chen, who had a higher status than the other empress dowager.

The rest of the people, out of fear of Xiao Jinxuan and the psychological influence of not daring to stand while the concubine bowed down, all kowtowed to the ground.

Faced with this situation for a while, Xue Yi couldn't help but feel that he seemed to be the queen of the Great Zhou who was in the phoenix position again.

For a moment, she laughed freely and arrogantly, then raised her head without any regrets, and drank the poisoned wine in her hand in one gulp.
