Chapter 122
Early in the morning, before the queen got up, Bi'er ran into the inner room in a panic: "Concubine Duan's consumption of five stone powder has been found out."

Hearing a "bang", it was the empress who got up in a hurry, knocked over the sink that the maid was holding for washing, hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, and ran out with a disheveled appearance.

"The Empress, the Empress..." Caiyun stomped her feet, and hurriedly chased her out with her palace shoes. The empress only had a pair of socks on her feet, and it was so cold...

Just one step away from the door of the outer room of Kunning Palace, the queen stopped her, and Caiyun followed pantingly. Seeing the strangeness of the queen, she dared not speak loudly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you... ..."

There was a moment of silence, Kun Ning Gong could hear even a needle drop on the ground at this moment, and Bi Er, who was following, also stood three meters away and did not step forward when she saw this scene.

The queen turned around suddenly, and walked towards the inner room without saying a word.

It's too late, since the matter has developed to the point where even Bi'er knows about it, what else can be done?It is impossible for me to do my best to save her, as I once said, I am a queen first, and I abide by the system of the harem, and the sin of Qinggui has long been beyond anyone's ability to save.

The Queen's arrival has just arrived in time for everything to end, at the gate of Concubine Duan's palace, Concubine Duan, who used to be aloof and high-spirited in appearance and costumes, is in a mess, but her previous aloofness has been replaced by stubbornness and arrogance, and her majestic demeanor is more in line with the concubine's temperament than usual. identity.

Until the eunuch said: "The empress is here." Everyone stopped their actions and knelt down.

Facing the person who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, the queen didn't even look at it, she just said excuses, and rejected the eunuch's suggestion to sit in Yonghe Palace.

"A large group of people, there are concubines, concubines, and nobles. They are the models of manners in the world. Everyone is a lady, a daughter of a thousand gold, whatever. Everyone is not afraid of losing face when they are masters. What is there to be afraid of in this palace? All of them can bear it now, ah, except for the people from Duanfei Palace and Qianqing Palace, everyone else will be retired by me."

Hearing a kneel, the concubines who came with Concubine Hua hurriedly retreated.

The queen directly asked someone to move a chair out from the inside: "One is the dignified concubine Duan, and the other is the noble concubine Hua. In front of so many people, they are beating and scolding like a vulgar peasant woman in the countryside. Do you still have any?" A little self-awareness of one's own identity, next time, don't you want to ignore even Bengong?"

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare?" The queen sneered: "Everyone even disregarded the rules of their ancestors, let alone me, a mere empress!"

"Young nobleman dare not.

"Tell me, what are you doing this early in the morning?"

In the morning, it was Concubine Hua who rushed to Yonghe Palace with a group of people, saying that a bold servant girl in Chengqian Palace stole the master's jewelry. After she was discovered, she saw that she was running in this direction, so she said that she would search .

At that time, Qing Guiren hadn't got up yet, and with Concubine Hua present, who could hold her down?A few of them came out to say something presumptuous, and as soon as they finished speaking, they were slapped by a nanny behind Concubine Hua. , beat the slave to bleed.

Then Concubine Hua asked the people she brought in to search. It was just early morning, the emperor was not there, and most of the palace was sleeping on the beds. When Qing Guiren knew about it, she hurriedly put on her clothes and came out.

At that time, I heard someone shouting: "Five Stones Powder." A group of people rushed up, and then a court lady "cowardly and scared" said that it was what Concubine Duan always ate, and then Concubine Hua seemed to have expected it, and saw her The eunuch beside him has already called the imperial physician who was on duty at the imperial hospital last night.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, it was determined that Concubine Duan's body had the reaction of Wushi powder, and the final word was finalized, and there was no excuse for it!

It seems that Concubine Hua has already grasped the evidence, knowing that Qing Guiren Wu Shisan's reaction has not been completely eliminated, so there came such a good show of framing, the Queen's complexion was as usual, but her heart was tumbling.

"Concubine Hua has no dignity, without my palace's permission, she searched the Yonghe Palace without authorization, and ordered her to return to the Qiangong Palace immediately, and be confined for half a month." Saying this, a piece of frost formed on her originally gentle face.

"Empress Empress." Concubine Hua was surprised when she heard this, until the empress's cold eyes glanced over, her kneeling body trembled, she was afraid but still refused to accept, perversely: "Empress Empress and Concubine Duan have always been on good terms, regarding this matter, I don't know what the empress has explained, or did she know it beforehand?"

"Concubine Hua made a bang, and the purple-red enamel teacup with folded branches and lotus patterns in front of the queen's eyes had already smashed in front of Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua's body trembled violently. Before she could react, she heard the queen's angry resentment: "Don't forget your identity. I am the queen of today. You cannot tolerate your presumptuousness. There is also Qing noble. It's not your turn to speak about the matter. Before the palace pronounces the sentence, she is still the concubine Duan, and her qualifications are one level higher than yours. What do you think you are? Go back to your Chengqian Palace and be banned for a month , a monthly penalty of half!"

"Empress Empress..." Concubine Hua's eyes were unbelievable.

"Don't let Bengong go, or you want to try if Bengong has the ability to cripple you!"

"Concubine Hua leaves."

Concubine Hua retreated for a long time, the queen waved her hand to make Bi'er and the rest of the Yonghe Palace retreat, she half propped her forehead, closed her eyes, Qing Guiren also knelt on the ground and did not get up.

After a long time, the queen sighed and said, "I promised you that one day, I would tell Yun Xi what you want. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

The empress meant that she was not going to save her, the nobleman Qing understood, she just raised her head and looked straight at the empress: "There is also Yunxi, you promised me."

"Tell me, have you taken Wushi powder again?

The empress did not intercede with the emperor about Qing nobleman, and finally the emperor himself said, "Do you want to pardon Qing nobleman?"

The queen shook her head, her expression was a little helpless, a little lonely, but more determined: "I didn't ask you for mercy, which means that I don't approve of the pardon of Qinggui, you should know?"

"I thought Qing Guiren was very important to you." The emperor stroked her hair and let her lean towards him.

"It's very important, Yu Gong. She is the key to my control of the balance of the harem. Yu privately, she is an old person in the palace. Whether we resent or calculate, she represents that I have not disappeared. If possible, I certainly hope She is alive, but since there is a change, it means that there is a loophole in my strategy. We are the rulers of the world and rule the world, but when we have this power, we also lose the qualification to be willful. I have no choice .”

"Out of selfishness, I have already protected Qinggui once, but this time it is no longer selfish. I have my responsibility. Regarding this, I can only say that everyone must pay the price for what they do. When she made this decision, she should have expected that there would be a day when no one could protect her, and she understood that, so she was so calm, or, this was the best ending for her."

The emperor put his hand on her face and stared at her. He had to admit that the woman in front of him was exquisite. At first, he thought she was scheming, but now that he understood it, he understood that even though she was exquisite, she was still somewhat Deliberately arranging it was a bit of a smooth sailing. Thinking about it this way, I felt more and more distressed about her.

Just like this time, when you don’t know, maybe you will blame her for being cold-hearted, but if you understand it, you will understand that she is too rational, but she can exit the stage with the calmest attitude when she is favored by thousands of people, maybe her way is not the best Yes, but it is the most effective, taking the overall situation into consideration, but the deepest feelings in my heart are indeed buried deeply.

That's how it was, the emperor temporarily prevented the decision to execute Concubine Duan with a sentence of consideration for the court's face, but it was useless.

While he was trying to argue, the queen had already arrived at Concubine Duan's place. In the past few years, Concubine Duan had a somewhat lofty and haughty look, but she would not be as deliberate as before, and the decoration of the palace was not so simple. regained her true nature.

On the side, a court lady brought a plum blossom chair, and the queen sat down on one side of the bed, her eyes turned to look at the beautiful woman on the bed, the dim light shone on her face, her expression was unclear, she just remembered the imperial physician just now I'm afraid it won't be long before that sentence, and my heart tightens.

The emerald green hairpin inlaid with beads and stones, and the sapphire and carved phoenix and chicken heart pendant, which Qing nobles usually use, are placed beside the camellia porcelain pillow.

"Why?" The queen felt that why was what she said the most to the girl who was supported by herself in front of her.

The queen is very aware of her temperament. Maybe many people will be jealous of her love with the emperor, but she is very clear that in this love, the emperor paid more than herself. She is very selfish and more realistic. If she The status of the two is not the case, they will not be together.

It is also because of this that sometimes it is difficult for the empress to understand Qing Guiren's love: "Is it worth it? I thought you were a very rational person, and you have proved your reason by entering the palace for the sake of Yunxi. What about now? Eat those things for him Taboo things, and still oppressing your own chest, do you really want to die?"

No one saw that the Empress's emerald and pearl nail set, which was placed on her knees, was tightly clutched in Jinxiu, almost piercing through: "I'm already selfish enough, I didn't expect you to do this."

You are crazy, and then, you are going to die, he wants to enter the court as an official, even if his official career goes smoothly, he will always remember you in his heart, death is worse than death, do you understand?

Do you understand that our unwillingness and resentment are all because of you. Without you, I would not fight in my heart, I would not be like this, and I would not be so cruel to myself. "

The queen smiled coldly, "You have finally spoken the truth. I never want your loyalty, because it is impossible and I don't expect it. It's just that you are a blockbuster. I thought I was selfish enough. Am I more ruthless?"

The queen's heart was churning, her right hand tightly clenched the middle finger of the other hand, her knuckles turned white: "Crazy, everyone is crazy."

With a slap, the queen's hand slammed the teacup aside, and the cold and determined back got up, and was about to leave, when the faint voice of the nobleman Qing came behind him: "Once I die, all the situation in this palace will change, you won't I don't know, what are you going to do?"

"Qingguiren, you are already dying. Since it is the path you chose, you should not be nostalgic, and you don't need to intervene in my affairs."

Qing Guiren was shocked all over, and smiled wryly: "That's right, I don't care about these things at all, and when a person dies, there is nothing left." As he spoke, his tone began to pant violently.

 The second update has been issued, and the new week is asking for votes and comfort.
