Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 502 Clearing the Harem
The war in the capital finally came to an end. This time, the palace strangled and killed [-] rebels including the eldest princess.

After a twelfth month of recuperation, Jin Yantang led the court officials busy up and down to rectify the law and order in various places, and the order of the Great Zhou Dynasty was gradually restored. In addition, Jin Yantang already had prestige, and the people supported him even more.

Zhao Kehan's puppet emperor, Jin Tianyou, was born prematurely. When Zhao Kehan ​​died, no one took good care of him, so he passed away early.

This month, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the imperial palace, fine snow fell on the red walls and tiles. The palace people came and went, but they did not dare to take a deep breath. Everywhere was very quiet, almost comparable to the cold palace.

A slender servant walked quietly towards the cold palace. He was wearing a green long coat with a stand-up collar embroidered with bird patterns, and his head was lowered so that people could not see his expression clearly. His complexion was a little pale, as if he was sick.

At this time, in the yard, a woman in white was standing under a bare tree branch, and suddenly heard someone pushing the door open, she stroked the black cat in her arms, and said lightly: "Fuqingxi, you are here again!" What? Bengong said, I won’t join forces with you.”

The servant who pushed the door and entered looked up. He looked feminine, with red lips and white teeth, but it was Fu Qingxi.

Hearing this, Fu Qingxi smiled respectfully and said: "Ms. Ning, the slave has a way to help you out of the palace and win favor for you. You only need to save the slave's life. This is cooperation. Why do you say it is so ugly? ?”

Wen Xiuyan curled her lips into a smile, and slowly turned around to look directly at him. The black cat in her hand narrowed her eyes and stared closely at Fu Qingxi.

"You are the person next to Concubine Jia. It's too late for His Majesty to kill you. I'm just a weak woman. How can I save your life?"

Although Wen Xiuyan's voice and demeanor are a bit similar to those of the dead concubine Chen, she doesn't really care about it. In the cold palace, she has leisure time to raise cats. It can be seen that she has washed away all her charms after the accident of the dragon's heir, and her plans are even more serious. .

A look of understanding flashed across Fu Qingxi's eyes, but His Majesty had already sent someone to hunt him down. If he hadn't gone offline and used a fake corpse to pretend that he was dead, he might be dead now. Can't survive to the cold palace.

"Concubine Ning, this servant sincerely wants to cooperate with you. If not, do you think that the things that caused Concubine Jia to give birth prematurely can be done without anyone noticing? If I hadn't been behind to clean up the mess for you, I'm afraid Concubine Ning has long been concubine Jia..."

Zhao Kehan ​​has been executed by His Majesty, Wen Xiuyan has nothing to worry about.

It's just that she didn't expect that what she did last time was so covert, but Fu Qingxi could notice it.

This Fu Qingxi used to be Fu Pu's apprentice, but he had some problems with Fu Pu. He was able to stand in the camp of Concubine Jia in a short period of time. Qingxi often offered advice by her side.

Wen Xiuyan thought about it in her heart, and looked at Fu Qingxi calmly, seeing that his expression was as usual, calm and calm, she smiled slightly, walked forward and said: "Eunuch Fu's proposal of cooperation has made me a little interested. You can stay here."

Fu Qingxi felt relieved, bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you, Concubine Ning."

At noon, the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

The queen mother sat opposite Jin Yantang, the table was full of delicacies, the mother and son moved their chopsticks, the queen mother took a tentative look at Jin Yantang, with a look of guilt in her eyes.

"Tang'er, it's the Ai family's fault. If the Ai family could recognize Zhao Kehan's true face earlier, they wouldn't have made such a big mistake..."

The queen mother believed that Shang Kelan's death had something to do with her. If it wasn't for her wholeheartedly focusing on her offspring and preventing Jin Yantang from doting on Shang Kelan alone, and favoring Zhao Kehan ​​in court affairs and other matters, Zhao Kehan ​​would have taken advantage of it. It will not become what it is today.

Although he would eat and deal with government affairs as usual, his eyes were dimmed, as indifferent as a snow mountain that would not melt for thousands of years, and there was no emotion at all.

According to Su Yuan's judgment, Jin Yantang was depressed. Although he looked normal on the surface, if his mood was always so low, he could easily get mentally ill. Even the servant who served Jin Yantang personally said that Jin Yantang was depressed recently and often played the piano alone at night.

However, as soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Jin Yantang put down the bowl, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, where is Qilan?"

Jin Qilan, this is the name Jin Yantang gave the child. The child's nickname is Taohuasu.

Being busy during this time, Jin Yantang handed over the child to the Queen Mother to be raised.

Seeing Jin Yantang talking about the child, the queen mother was slightly relieved, and waved to Wanqin: "Bring the child."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Wanqin responded respectfully, and after a while, she walked in with the child in her arms.

Jin Qilan has grown up again, and will be a hundred days old the day after tomorrow.

He is sleeping now, his eyelashes are long, and the baby's skin is very tender.

Jin Yantang looked at the child for a moment, smiled slightly, and said softly: "This child is very similar to Lan'er. He will be the only prince in my Great Zhou Dynasty."

He said, gently reaching out to touch the child's face.

The queen mother nodded in agreement, but soon she came back to her senses and looked at Jin Yantang in surprise: "Tang'er, you...you mean to make Concubine Chen the queen?"

Only the son of the empress can be regarded as the legitimate son, and he is also the most legitimate prince.

Holding the child in his arms, Jin Yantang gently shook his head, nodded lightly and said: "I owe this to Lan'er, since I promised her to be a couple for the rest of my life, I couldn't do it before she was alive, so can't I make it up after she dies? Empress, if you are really good for your son, don't stop him."

He seems to fully understand the queen mother's thoughts. Indeed, there is only a child like Jin Qilan in this palace. It is not easy to raise a child safely in this era. Have a few thoughts.

But before she could say it, Jin Yantang blocked her words.

The queen mother choked up for a moment, then frowned and looked at Jin Yantang and said, "Tang'er, I know you have a deep affection for Concubine Chen, but there are so many people in this palace, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. To put it bluntly, if someone If we want to attack Qilan, what should we do? Can you and I stay by Qilan's side all the time?"

A year has passed, and the empress dowager has already turned her temples white due to worry, and she does not look young at all.

But Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly and firmly: "Lan'er is the only one in my harem, and it's not unreasonable for my mother to be worried, so I will clean up the harem."

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yantang left the Compassionate Ning Palace with the child in his arms.

The queen mother was stunned for a while before she realized it, and immediately she hurriedly shouted to Jin Yantang: "Stop it! Tanger, you are not allowed to mess around, how can the concubines in the harem be rushed as soon as you say? Have you heard what the Ai family said!"

Wanqin sighed, stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and said: "Empress Dowager, please stop calling, Your Majesty must be feeling uncomfortable right now?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was speechless immediately, looked at the direction of Jin Yantang's departure with complicated eyes, and shook her head: "Oh, let him go, the Ai family is only responsible for raising Qi Lan safely, okay Concubine Chen has left roots for our Jin family!"
