Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 465 Extra Story, Ling Shuang Wuyan Raises Fire 1
At the beginning of the Kuimao year, the north wind howled, Luoyi, the imperial capital of the Heluo Kingdom, was rarely populated on the streets.

In the magnificent imperial palace, the palace people coming and going tucked their necks into their furry jackets, hugged the stove, and let out a breath of air-conditioning.

Everyone in the palace knows that since Her Majesty the Empress personally conquered the Shang Kingdom, she has not appeared in the morning court again. All important military and state affairs are represented by Her Highness the Prince and Guan Huangfu.And Her Majesty the Empress took care of her body every day, gave birth to a pair of princes and princesses three months ago, and now she is still recuperating in the Xiyu Palace, and often stares at a portrait without moving for a long time.

That portrait was hung behind the primrose-colored gauze curtain of Xiyu Temple, and the man in the painting had an elegant appearance.Unparalleled elegance.The palace people more or less recognized that this was Mo Li, the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty.It is said that this painting was created by Zhouhou Baili Jiuge and presented to the Empress.

"Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Prince, please see me."

The voice of the palace man brought Yin Liehuo back to his senses from the painting.

She looked around in a trance, feeling a little lost at the moment when she recovered, and said, "Please come in, Miss Huang."

Luo Qixiu has entered the palace, and now she is in charge of the government, she has already taken off her meditation clothes and changed into luxurious palace clothes, only keeping a string of sandalwood beads on her wrist.

Seeing that Yin Liehuo was still kneeling on the futon, Luo Qixiu was also kneeling beside her, her voice was as calm as white water: "Are you looking at the painting again?"

"Miss Huang is laughing."

Luo Qixiu said: "You still haven't let him go completely."

Yin Liehuo gave a bleak smile: "It's true... I still can't forget it, and I can't help but think of him... Sister Huang, have you finished dealing with today's political affairs?"

"Guan Huangfu is still in the imperial study, reviewing the memorial. I will go out of the palace later to preside over a folk ceremony, so I will leave the follow-up matters to Guan Huangfu. I am here to explain to you."

Yin Liehuo said softly: "Sister Huang has worked hard and shared a lot for me."

"Guan Huang Fu is the one who has really worked hard." Luo Qixiu said: "I act as an agent of the government, and my name is justified, but he has to bear the pressure and doubts of many parties. You know it in your heart, so I won't say more."

Yin Lie's eyelashes drooped darkly, he was silent for a long while, and said: "Sister Huang, if you have something to do, go and do it first, I'll go to the imperial study to see Guan Cheng."

"Take care of your health." Luo Qixiu resigned.

Yin Liehuo tidied up his makeup a bit, put on a gorgeous fur cloak, and went to the imperial study.The whistling north wind blew the patter of snow, and the palace servants held up umbrellas for Yin Liehuo, and saw snowflakes flying in front of the imperial study from a distance.

"Your Majesty, the road is slippery in the snow, you have to be careful." The palace servant reminded carefully.

"Hmm..." Yin Liehuo responded, but he didn't take it seriously. When he arrived in front of the imperial study, because he was distracted and looked at the clumps of white plum blossoms, his feet really slipped and he fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty the Empress!" The palace man holding the umbrella was startled, and the others hurried forward.

However, two men ran out from the dark, ahead of the palace servants, and rushed to the left and right of Yin Liehuo.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" one of the men asked.

Another man held Yin Liehuo's arm, "Your Majesty must be careful, the one just now frightened the courtiers."

Yin Liehuo was supported by two men to stand up, her eyes were decorated with makeup to make them charming and exquisite, but her eyes were indifferent.

"You are..." Yin Liehuo looked at the two men on the left and right.

One of the two men was wearing green clothes and the other was wearing green clothes.The man in green said: "My husband is Mrs. Zhu, and this is Mrs. Pan, my relative. My two fathers are brothers."

The man in the harem, Yin Liehuo, had hardly seen her before. She only vaguely remembered that the mothers of these two were important officials in the court. She said, "If you have nothing to do, go down. The Imperial Study Room is not the place for you to come."

Pan's face immediately became displeased, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The courtiers were admiring the plums around here just now, and saw the empress fell down, so they hurried over to help her, and never thought about stepping into the imperial study. The rules of the harem are not to meddle in politics , the ministers and others have been abiding by it, but Guan Huangfu has been in politics for more than half a year."

After Pan finished speaking, Zhu's face turned pale, and he quickly tugged on Pan's sleeve secretly.His cousin is also too impatient. The purpose of the two of them today is to impress Her Majesty by getting close to the empress, not to complain and vent their anger.

Yin Liehuo's eyes glowed with a faint light, how could she not see through Pan's and Zhu's narrow-mindedness?He said that he happened to help her up when he came to admire the plum blossoms, but in fact, he must have been following her.

Yin Lie said coldly: "I have been in poor health, so I have entrusted the important affairs of the court to the imperial sister and Guan Huangfu. Jin Cheng and other veterans also know what I mean."

"But—" Mrs. Pan was anxious to say, but was pulled down by Mrs. Zhu, but she still couldn't hold back, "But Mrs. Guan controls the government with one hand, and the government and the people have already complained about it!"

Yin Lie said coldly: "Is that so... You, a royal husband in the harem, know a lot about the outside world."

After hearing what Yin Liehuo meant, Pan's heart trembled.Her Majesty the Empress is saying that he is restless and colludes with the former court in private!

Mrs. Pan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister just—"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Cheng's voice came from the door of the imperial study: "Agni?"

The coldness around Yin Liehuo dissipated, his eyes were soft like forsythia flowers in early spring, with a bit of Ling Han's arrogance, he smiled softly: "Guan Cheng."

"Liehuo, your clothes..." Guan Cheng saw that Yin Liehuo's clothes were dirty and stained with snow.

"Your Majesty fell down?" Guan Cheng hastily greeted him.

Yin Liehuo ignored Pan Shi and Zhu Shi, a pair of catkins protruded from under the cloak, and naturally wanted to hand over his hands to Guan Cheng.However, it was freezing cold this day, and his fair hands were slightly red from the cold. Guan Cheng was hugging the heater, he hurriedly pulled out his hands, and put Yin Liehuo's hands into the heater, letting her hold the heater.

This scene taught Pan and Zhu to see it in their eyes, and they were extremely unwilling.This Guan Cheng's mother's family is single and weak, and it is impossible to get on the stage at all, and this Guan Cheng is just the assistant minister bestowed to His Majesty by the Supreme Emperor.With such a lowly background, how can he occupy the high position in the main palace, control the government and be favored by His Majesty?

If it weren't for Guan Cheng, their brothers wouldn't have become widows after entering the palace, even if they were in the main palace, they wouldn't be so arrogant!
Seeing Pan's face twitching constantly, Zhu yanked Pan again, fearing that he would act impulsively.

But Mrs. Pan still said bluntly: "Guan Huangfu, your majesty's confinement is over, how long do you want to control the Luo family?"

Guan Cheng lowered his scimitar-like eyebrows and wanted to speak, but Yin Liehuo gently held his hand.

Yin Liehuo squinted at Mrs. Pan, and said coldly: "The order of respect and inferiority is orderly. Are you worthy of talking to Mrs. Guan like this?"

"Her Majesty the Empress—"

"Pan." Yin Liehuo interrupted Pan's words, his eyes were full of indifference and emptiness, "Sickness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth... Do you think that I will treat you for the sake of your mother's family?" Do you open your eyes and close your eyes..."

"Your Majesty—" Zhu quickly knelt down, wanting to intercede for Pan.

"Come here!" Yin Liehuo didn't even look at Mrs. Zhu, and said coldly, "Mrs. Pan spies on the holy traces, colludes with the former court, commits crimes against the superiors, and speaks rudely to Mrs. Guan Huang...Pull it down, give Bai Ling poisoned wine, let him suicide!"

Upon hearing the word suicide, Pan's face turned pale with fright. His mother's family was one of the nine nobles, how could His Majesty the Empress tell him to kill him?

Mrs. Zhu pleaded: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Cousin is just straight-tempered and speaks too aggressively."

Yin Liehuo sneered: "I don't like to listen to him, so why keep him? Come on, why don't you pull Pan out and stick him to death!"

Several guards had already arrived and took down Mrs. Pan.Pan's luxurious clothes were wrinkled and embarrassed by their rude behavior. Zhu knelt beside him, glanced at Yin Lie's cold and dark eyes, and did not dare to say a word of intercession, for fear that he would also be angered.

Na Pan struggled and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Langhuo..." Guan Cheng persuaded: "Pan's words are just a little conflicted, and the crime is not worthy of death."

Yin Liehuo glanced at Guan Cheng, with a gentle smile, "The position you are in is a target of public criticism, and I have warned these people...Since they are still wishful thinking, then just kill them as an example...They are self-satisfied, and they can complain who?"

"Your Majesty..." Guan Cheng's brows tightened, and he felt pain in his heart seeing Yin Liehuo's ruthless and cold look in front of the killing.Why would he want to see her ruthlessly create murderous karma?This is also a great torment to her body and mind, her body has not been recuperated in the first place.

The guards dragged Mrs. Pan away, and Mrs. Pan was still there, waving his sleeves to drive away the guards who were close to him, and shouted: "Your Majesty, my husband's mother's family is one of the nine ministers, and your majesty is here for Guan Huang." Husband, have you chilled the hearts of the courtiers? Your Majesty, you must look at the Buddha's face even if you don't look at the monk's face!"

Yin Liehuo smiled contemptuously: "I don't believe in Buddhism."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Pan resisted for a while and was restrained. The fear of dying made him ignore everything, and shouted indiscriminately: "Luo Xiangsi, you tyrant! You favor traitors, you Treat one more favorably than another, when you die, the ones left in this world will definitely be infamy!"

Guan Cheng's pupils shrank, and he roared: "Shut up! How dare you say that His Majesty is half wrong!"

Yin Liehuo murmured sadly: "Ms. Pan didn't know how to repent when she was about to die, and her crimes will be worse. There is no need to commit suicide..." She took one hand out of the stove and put it in Guan Cheng's hand, and was caught He clasped his hands together, and smiled coldly, "Drag him out of the palace gate, and beat him to death with a stick."

"Yes!" The guards replied with some trepidation, and then spared no effort to drag Pan.

Mrs. Pan was dragged all the way, leaving a long trail on the snow. He roared frantically: "Luo Xiangsi, you tyrant, you will die! Guan Cheng, when you are useless one day, you will be punished." This tyrant is mercilessly executed!"

Hearing this, Yin Liehuo's exquisite makeup seemed to collapse suddenly, and he shouted excitedly: "Hurry up and drag him out and beat him to death. His body is exposed to the sun at the palace gate, and let all civil and military officials see his fate!"

His body was trembling, his heart hurt, Yin Liehuo's eyes were black and he was on the verge of falling, so he didn't see Zhu Shi who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of hatred at this moment.

Mrs. Zhu swore in her heart: Cousin, Guan Cheng killed you, I will definitely kill him and avenge you!
