Emperor Jin

Chapter 178
Bao Jin took the wooden box, opened it, and saw that there were letter papers stacked in a square shape, with layers upon layers.

She carefully looked at them one by one, and her complexion changed as time passed.

These letters, spanning six or seven years, were all written to her by a certain man. They were deeply nostalgic, but still heroic. When I read them, I felt affectionate, and it really made people feel sorry for this pair of lovers. Tsk tsk praise.

It's not all about children's affairs, but it has something to say. When talking about the current political malpractices, it is even more hateful for its misfortune. Later, it even publicly talked about the matter of seeking to usurp the throne. Obviously, the two have a tacit understanding. become.

Such a lover, in the end, betrayed you... Sister, your luck is worse than mine.

When Bao Jin saw this, he had no doubts anymore. He smiled coldly in his heart, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure——

"Has anyone read these letters?"

"It has always been kept secretly by slaves."

Xu Shanggong's voice seemed a bit empty amidst the rumbling ruts.

Baojin sighed, and said with infinite fatigue: "I keep this thing, from now on, it has nothing to do with you."

At this time, the eastern horizon was slightly darkened, and the car drove into the city. Baojin looked at the palace Jiuchong not far away, but felt an absurd sense of unreality in his heart, almost crying and laughing.

But she finally didn't, she just calmly tightened her skirt and whispered softly: "It's my turn to be on duty today, and I have to rush to serve in front of the imperial court!"

Her voice was soft and soft, hearing the ears of the two people in the car, they couldn't help shivering.

****
The queen got up very early that day, and when she was dressing up, she deliberately asked the palace servants to wear a phoenix bun. Seeing her being so grand, Lin'er couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What is your plan today, you want to go out?" ?"

The queen glanced at her, flicked her forehead with her fingertips, and then laughed and cursed: "Girl who has no memory, it's the seventh day, and all the sisters in the palace have to come to my place to say hello, of course they can't be disheveled. Already!"

Lin'er suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "In the past, all the concubines came to Zhaoyang Palace to pay their respects, and I have never seen you in such a splendid dress..."

When she mentioned this, her heart was sore again, and she muttered unwillingly: "Your Majesty, you are really good-tempered. These people who are in power think you have lost power and ask for leave every now and then. Greetings every morning, changed to once every seven days... These girls are really thick-skinned, they don't feel at ease and don't come to pay homage..."

The queen smiled slightly, "It's sunny, only in the morning can I sleep peacefully, why bother to disturb their dreams..."

When she said the last two words, a sharp smile flashed in her eyes, and she slashed across the makeup mirror like a sharp knife and threw it at the front hall.

After a while, the concubines from various palaces also came one after another, perhaps because of the [-]-day gathering, most of them came very early, even Fang Wanqing, who Su Xi said was sick, came on time.

Concubine Yun Xian and Xu Jieyu appeared last, Concubine Yun Xian was a little out of breath, she was prone to heartache in summer, obviously she had relapsed from her old illness, but at this moment she still forcibly said: "My concubine is late, please forgive me. "

She knew that the empress and the empress were at odds at this time, and she was afraid of getting burned, so she kept her posture extremely low. She never thought that the empress would sit in the center, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Sister, what are you talking about? You are not feeling well. The imperial doctor is here, don't rush to come to this palace."

Her tone was calm, just as the matter had already been exposed by everyone, her voice suddenly turned louder and said: "How can Sister Yun's body be like this...Xu Jieyu, tell me."

Xu Yinghua was called out by her coldly, and her voice was not friendly, so she replied cautiously: "The concubine Xian is suffering from a chronic illness, the imperial physician has already come—"

"I don't ask the imperial doctor, but how you take care of her."

The queen's voice was not harsh, but it was rustling and cold.

Listening to this question, Xu Yinghua was young and energetic after all, and said softly but firmly: "The concubine has been serving the soup and medicine personally, but after all, she is weak and weak. If there is not enough care, I ask the empress to punish her."

The queen smiled coldly, "You are really weak and weak. You didn't serve Sister Yun well, and you didn't serve Chenghuan at Long Live. What the hell are you doing all this time?!"

Xu Yinghua sneered in her heart when she heard this—there was sourness in the words, it turned out that the emperor was obsessed with the humble maids, the empress couldn't swallow this breath, but vented it on herself!
She made a frightened look, "It's the concubines who are too useless to let the empress down."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt very uncomfortable - if Xu Jieyu was said to be useless, these people had never been favored, and they were even more useless.

The queen glanced at them, and sighed: "Sisters still need to work harder, if the heart of Long Live is lost to the lowly palace people, it will be regarded as the incompetence of the entire harem, and it will make people laugh."

After she finished speaking, her face was cold, and even the corners of her mouth were a little dry and stiff. Seeing this situation, everyone remembered that the emperor sent people to Zhaoyang Palace to arrest people the day before. Obviously, the couple was already incompatible. up.

The crowd dispersed after some gossip, Xu Yinghua was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Wanqing, "Sister, please stay -"

She grabbed the other party's cuff mysteriously, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The empress is in a bad mood today."

After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes unsatisfied, and there was some restless charm in his pupils.

Seeing Xu Yinghua's silence, she lowered her voice even more, "Long Live no longer takes care of her, and that's why things are in chaos, with such vitriolic words."

Xu Yinghua secretly thought that you would not be much better off when it came to being harsh, but he replied vaguely: "It's inevitable..."

A spoiled and vicious smile flashed in Fang Wanqing's eyes, "She was so calm and peaceful before because she was confident, but now she has lost power, as long as she works harder, Zhaoyang Palace will change its owner."
